A name to keep an eye on: Ryan Ward is hitting .303/.395/.574 with 19 HRs/11 SB in AAA for the Dodgers. He had 33 HR/11 SB last year. Has good exit velos, more of a line drive approach now, has cut his swing rate by 11%, & his SwStr% is just 8.4%. Could he be more productive in LA than Conforto?

I can't wait for tonight's NBA Draft, where trades will happen, but we'll pretend the picks aren't traded and we'll listen to analysis on how a player fits on a team that we all know he won't play for, while also losing track of what the trade was
