Incredibly premature ranking of the top 50 prospects for this year’s MLB draft is up now, for Insiders, as is my piece on Bryce Harper, Levon Washington, and a few JC arms. Jason Churchill’s first piece on the draft blog, previewing the first weekend in the Division 1 season, is also live.

The prospect package.
My ranking of all 30 farm systems went up this morning, and it will all be followed on Thursday morning by the master ranking of the top 100 prospects plus top tens for all 30 organizations and an article on the ten guys who just missed the main 100. ESPNDeportes.com will have my ranking of the top 40 Latin American prospects in the minors, limited to players born outside the U.S.
I’ll chat Thursday at 1 pm, and I believe we have two other prospects chatting tomorrow, including #1 overall prospect Jason Heyward.
And on Friday, I’ll have an article on at least one sleeper in each organization who could make the big leap on to the list next year; last year’s list had around 32 names in total, and I think 14 ended up on this year’s top 100.
As for the dish, I hope to resume regular blogging tomorrow night, probably with a long-overdue writeup of Power Grid. Thanks for your patience.

Recent ESPN posts.
Sorry for the lack of updates here, but it’s been busy around the house with Christmas coming and I’m still just halfway through A House for Mr. Biswas (although far enough along to decide that his problems are largely of his own making). If you haven’t seen my latest posts over at the Four-Letter, I broke down the Morrow-League and Vazquez-Melky trades, wrote a brief post on Fernando Rodney, and appeared on ESPN Radio’s AllNight on Wednesday morning.

New Insider column + TV.
I’ll be on ESPNEWS today at 2:40 pm EST and on ESPN Radio’s Baseball Tonight sometime between 10 and 11 pm EST.
Also, I’ve got a new blog post up on ESPN.com (for Insiders) on interesting non-tenders, as well as Colby Lewis, Jason Kendall, and the Rule 5 draft.

HoF ballot, TV.
I’ve got a column up for Insiders with hypothetical Hall of Fame ballot, with seven names on it, a few of whom will probably still be waiting if and when I become eligible to vote.
Also, I’ll be on ESPNEWS today at 2:40 pm EST, topics still TBD.

Quick links & NL Cy phoner.
I’ll be on ESPNEWS via phone just after the 2 pm announcement of the NL Cy Young award.
My notes column is up, leading off with a look at the reliever market and ending with a few lines on last night’s Top Chef episode.
I’m not sure I’ll get it done for tomorrow, but I’m hoping to have the Klaw 100 update ready for the morning.

TV + an ABA article.
I’ll be on ESPNEWS today at 2:40 pm EST.
Also, I wrote a fun piece on the American Basketball Association, focusing on some of the weirder and quirkier stories coming from the league’s history, for mental floss.

Division Series links.
Mike and Mike this morning. Waiting for the Herd clip to post.
Division Series previews:
- Angels-Red Sox ALDS preview
- Yankees-Twins ALDS preview
- Cardinals-Dodgers NLDS preview
- Phillies-Rockies NLDS preview
Plus the eighth advance report, on theMinnesota Fundamentalists Twins. The Conversation is pretty hilarious – angry Twins fans wielding batting average and fielding percentage.
And two more mental_floss quizzes:

Saturday links.
My take on the NCAA’s latest anti-player/anti-agent move was posted yesterday morning. My on The Herd yesterday is also up. The transcript from Thursday’s chat is up, even though we suffered a bit of chattus interruptus, and once again the new chat software ate a question and double-posted some of my answers. Incidentally, when I highlighted Latos as “legit” among the sea of Padre suspects who’ve debuted this year, I didn’t mean to dismiss Kyle Blanks by omission.
And my blog entry on Ross Detwiler, Ian Desmond, and Chad Billingsley went up earlier today.
