At least a year ago, maybe longer, I had an idea: wouldn’t it be cool to go through every draft pick in major league history, pick the best player for each one, and create sort of an Ultimate Draft?

I’m not always as careful as I should be when I visit newspaper websites. I often forget to ‘uncheck’ the boxes that helpfully offer to deluge my mailbox with coupons from local businesses in a town I don’t live in. Most of the time, this is very annoying, but I got a pretty good one from something called Arkansas Daily Deals today. The U.S. Baseball Training Academy in Little Rock is offering a half-off...

Dave Gershman is a writer for such baseball web sites as Beyond the Box Score, Marlins Daily, and Penn League Report. He was kind enough to answer a few questions this week (via email) about his dream job, the best players he’s seen in action, and how his age impacts his coverage of the game. When and how did you become interested in baseball in general and prospects in particular? First and foremost, thanks...
