2015 Astros Farm System Handbook
« on: March 08, 2015, 12:56:05 pm »
Jayne Hansen at What The Heck Bobby has published an impressive ebook - The 2015 Astros Farm System Handbook.  It list EVERY minor league player in the farm system with links to video & pictures.  One of the pieces I found most helpful is information about the DLS guys.  I would encourage you to check it out.  It is available for ibook and kindle.

This book, which I purchased, is outstanding. Jayne is to be commended for a fine job.

Well worth the $9.95 well spent, and I would encourage y'all to grab a copy if you can!

That really sucks. I haven't seen the book yet, but what I have read/seen of the blog is terrific.

She has had a bunch of crap fall in her lap in the last several months and it has taken the joy out of something she  did for fun.  I hope she hangs in there.

Crap in the lap seems like an occupational hazard for those who cover this franchise.  Sorry to hear that something is chipping away at her joy.  I didn't buy her book, but appreciate her passion for all things related to Astros Milb..

Buy the book.  It is well worth $10 and sends a great message to Jayne.

I am sorry to hear she has had a difficult time, even though I stopped reading her blog almost a year ago.
