The 2018 MLB Rule 4 draft has come and gone and I have recaps up for all National League teams<\/a> and all American League teams<\/a>. I also wrote my reactions to day one<\/a> on Monday night, and held a Klawchat<\/a> on Tuesday after the fourth round, while teams continued drafting.<\/p>\n

You can find more details on my top 100 prospects for the draft on my Big Board<\/a>, and can see my final first-round mock<\/a> from Monday afternoon, which had 9 picks on the dot and flipped Arizona’s first two picks.<\/p>\n

Over at Paste<\/em>, I recapped what I saw at Paradox Interactive’s PDXCON in Stockholm last month<\/a>, where they announced tabletop versions of four of their popular video game titles: Crusader Kings, Cities Skylines, Europa Universalis, and Hearts of Iron.<\/p>\n

My free email newsletter<\/a> is back and I hope it’ll be more or less weekly again now that the draft is over; I’m planning to send the next issue this afternoon or tomorrow morning.<\/p>\n

Smart Baseball<\/a><\/em> is now out in paperback! I will be at Politics and Prose in Washington, DC, on July 14th, joined by my friend Jay Jaffe (The Cooperstown Casebook<\/a><\/em>), and hope to announce a signing in the Boston area for the weekend of July 28th shortly.<\/p>\n

And now, the links\u2026<\/p>\n
