1. I bring out the Stats Scouting Notebook from 1998. I talk about how I started my love of prospects, and how until now I had not realized that one of the people I give the most credit for helping shape my interest: Jim Callis was also the writer of every prospect section in the book. We have some fun with old stats, but save the reports for another day.

2. The Bryan Shaw contract has been reported and I am blown away by how much he got and how much he could make. It was reported he got 3 million dollars to start with a chance to make up to 9 million. This is for a player no other team seemed to want from a team that has been unwilling to spend money.

3. We talk about why Michael Conforto is the last free agent standing and why he is not a likely fit for the Guardians. Then we talk about why the lack of anything from the Guardians is infuriating and rightfully so for most fans. We talk about all the reasons why the Guardians should have more money to spend and give a plausible reason why they have not engaged in the market yet.
