Shutting Down, Starting Up
Closing the Book on 2008 and Looking Ahead to Next Year
Proto-ace David Price was the brightest glimmer of things to come for 2009, giving Tampa Bay fans a reason to stay excited all winter long.
We've been a bit more lax than usual here at Scouting Book this month, as we soaked up post-season baseball and tried to unwind from a long season. But don't worry, big things are coming soon: we'll be going through a pretty hardcore overhaul during the winter, as we add more features and round out our existing data to 'expose' more of our internal data to you readers.
But before we can move onto 2009 with fresh eyes open, we'll have some 2008 season housekeeping to take care of. So in the next two weeks, expect to see some prospect roundups on how smart we were, and also how horribly foolish we were, in the year that just wrapped up in Philadelphia.
Also, a short message for Rays fans: hang in there. You still have the single richest young talent pool in baseball. That farm depth means you'll be back in October soon enough.
As for Phillies fans? Well, congratu-f#$@ing-lations!
