San Francisco Giants Top 15 Prospects (2012-2013) | FanGraphs Baseball
The top 15 prospects from FanGraphs. Let me guess at the one of the entries.

Brock Bond's Q3 rating is more daxterious than the MRfff of other prospects, but his åµΩ is showing a potential of cosining, so he's probably the best in the system.

lol because they love stats. No, seriously, Hulet's good with the prospects, and the list is a good read. In Dick we trust. Dick Tidrow. Maybe that should be phrased "In Tidrow we trust." I'll take it under consideration.

I want this
And on a personal note, I'm abusing my power because I want to find the Tickle-Me Elmo of bourbon, Pappy Van Winkle. The website says you can find it at Beltramo's in Menlo Park, but, of course, you can't. You can't find it anywhere. There are articles written in the Atlantic about how you can't find it. So if you know a guy who knows a guy, it would make for an unbelievable Christmas present.

For me.

Okay, maybe someone else.

(But I'd get to try it.)

(Pappy Van Winkle makes me feel like Jonah Hill in this scene. I just want to give you money for your product, you stupid company.)
