Two new posts since the last roundup for subscribers to the Athletic \u2013 my list of the five farm systems that have improved the most since February<\/a>; and a scouting blog from two weekends ago covering some Rays, O’s, Nats, and Tigers prospects<\/a>. I’ve been unable to do much this past week due to an illness in the family, but hope to be back on the road this upcoming week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the board game front, I had three reviews go up earlier this month. At Paste<\/em>, I reviewed the great new family game Juicy Fruits<\/a> and the midweight game CloudAge<\/a>. For Polygon, I reviewed the upcoming second edition of Great Western Trail<\/a>, which is still the top-rated complex game on my overall rankings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On of the Keith Law Show this week, I spoke to one of my favorite authors, Jasper Fforde<\/a>, author of sixteen books, including The Constant Rabbit<\/em>; and then had old pal Joe Sheehan<\/a> as a guest this week.. And on The Athletic Baseball Show, I got the band back together with Eric Karabell<\/a>. You can subscribe to my podcast on iTunes<\/a> and Spotify<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My newsletter is getting back on track, although I didn’t send one this week since I didn’t write anything for any other sites beyond my own. You should sign up<\/a>, though. Or you might consider buying my book, The Inside Game<\/em>, now out in paperback<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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