GGajewski18 Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 Another great mind going to the Braves. He's putting up his 16, 17, and 18 draft rankings tomorrow. Good luck to him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quin Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 I'll miss his writing, but congrats to Kiley. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmags Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 Congrats to him, must be a crazy feeling to cover something and then go into affect it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiliIrishHammock24 Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 Ugh, son of a b****. First Jason Parks, now Kiley McDaniel....now whose podcast am I going to listen to learn about prospects? His comprehensive list was so incredible, it's going to suck for Fangraphs to replace that kind of work he put in. I'm sure they won't.

To be fair, he had worked for teams in the past. I always got the impression that the writing was something to do until the next team came along. Not to say it wasn't high quality--it was really good and I enjoyed it a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boopa1219 Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 The good always die young. Congrats to Kiley on joining a team with an extremely bright future. I wouldn't be shocked if he is a fast riser. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He definitely talks like someone in his 20s. I assumed he was like 28 or 29. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shysocks Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/an-announce...spect-coverage/ Dan Farnsworth will be his replacement at Fangraphs. He wrote an excellent breakdown of Jose Abreu after the signing that I cited to all my friends as evidence that Abreu would hit like a stud.

NorthSideSox72 Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 Related... a bunch of previous Baseball Prospectus guys, including one of the former co-founders (Joe Hamrahi) are starting a new prospect-focused baseball site called 2080Baseball.com. Also seems to include CJ Witt (former BP), Nick Faleris (former BP), Tucker Blair (former BP), Jeff Moore (former BP) and Mike Ferrin (XM Radio). And they threw some subtle shade at BP along the way.

How does it "look weird?" I was still referring to the domain name. I find domains with numbers in them, especially at the beginning, look fake or sketchy.
