Due to some ch-ch-ch-ch-changes in my schedule, the “Draft & Follow” will be moving from it’s normal time slot at 11:00am. For the remainder of the minor league season it will be published in the late afternoon/early evening, so both of you who read it please look for it there. Thanks to all of you who’ve taken the time to check it out and “Lets Go Future Mets!”
