Corey Brinn has up some new videos up on youtube and has some pictures of the minor league clubhouse over at his site. Matt Fairel, Billy Hamilton, Trey Manz and Dayne Read are in the videos.

I guess I will take this time today to say that I am going to be unveiling a subscriber portion of the site in April that will basically be a scouting database for all of the players that I get reports on from this point forward.
