Hello Readers,

As I'm sure you've noticed, I've added a "Features" section to the homepage, meaning this blog space is no longer going to be used to announce when we have new pieces posted. All of that will take place above. Instead, we'll use this space for links to other articles and news around the web that we think you might find interesting. We'll also mix in some quick thoughts on players, the draft or amateur baseball in general that doesn't fit neatly into an article, ranking or scouting report.

I'm down in Ft. Myers this weekend for the Perfect Game World Showcase -- I'll have updates Saturday night and Sunday night, as well as a brief article and perhaps some rankings next week. Shortstop Top 15 will post tonight, and next week we'll have our Top 30 Outfields and Top 50 Pitchers. Our Pre-Season Top 300 Overall will likely post in five parts starting two weeks from Monday.   

As always, thanks for reading and thanks for all of the questions and positive feed back. Given all the questions we're getting submitted to us, maybe we'll start a Mailbag feature once the seasons get underway. Thoughts?
