This week I had two related columns for subscribers to the Athletic\n\u2013 my 2010 redraft<\/a> and my list of the 2010 first-rounders who didn’t pan out<\/a>. A\nfew people got particularly unpleasant over the redraft, which is quite\nunusual, mostly because they didn’t read the intro. I held another Klawchat<\/a> on Thursday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On The Keith Law Show this week, I had Cubs’\nsuperutilityman Ian Happ as a guest<\/a> to talk about coffee, especially his\ncollaboration with Connect Roasters to sell a specific blend of Guatemalan beans,\nwith $3 from every bag going to COVID-19 relief charities. You can buy the\ncoffee at coffeeforcovid.com<\/a>,\nand you can subscribe to my podcast on iTunes<\/a>\nor Spotify<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My second book, The Inside Game, <\/em>made the New York Times<\/em>‘ list of six recommended summer reads in the sports category, which is incredibly flattering. You can buy The Inside Game<\/em><\/a> or Smart Baseball<\/a><\/em> on bookshop.org or at any local stores if they’re opening back up near you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
