Free You Know Who.... Free You Know Who....

Missouri loves company.

The Buffalo game was tied through nine innings. The pitchers on both sides had done well on a cold day in Pennsylvania. With two on and two outs in the top of the tenth, Wynton Bernard doubled to the wall to drive in two runs and lead the Bisons to a 3-2 win.

Buffalo won their first game of the season, while Addison Barger hit Buffalo's first home run.

The Buffalo Bisons played their first game ever in March to kick off the 2023 minor league season. Unfortunately there was not much to remember from the game.

It's that previewin' time of year again...

And so it begins...

The Jays open the 2023 season with a ten game road trip, and the defending NL Central champs provide the initial opposition.

The regular season is ready to go. Now it is time to go on the record with your predictions for the season.

Daily minor league updates have been a feature on Batters Box since 2004. A lot has changed in the baseball world over the last twenty years and now the daily MLU is changing too.

The minor league season starts next week, in Buffalo. The other teams wait a week. We will all be looking at who hits the ground running in 2023. Who pitches or hits well in April. But there are some other things that I will be looking at.

The Blue Jays have enjoyed a pleasantly uneventful time in Florida so far.

I think it's even on the television. Yusei Kikuchi will throw the first pitch of the spring.

Keith Law published his top 100 prospects and his top 20 prospects by organization over the last two weeks in The Athletic.

I didn't want to ask questions about the rankings, it doesn't matter that player X is four or five spots above where Batters Box ranked him. So I asked questions that were more general. If you haven't read Keith's rankings they are substantially similar to those on Batters Box. Keith is not as high on Addison Barger, he has concerns about his ability to hit left handed pitching. He has similar concerns with Spencer Horwitz. Keith includes Manuel Beltre and Alex De Jesus in his top 20, so I asked about them, in general terms.

Football is over and baseball is back. Although it is not the required reporting date yet, many players are already in Dunedin along with several of the Blue Jays writers.
