  • Praise for Bus Leagues

    "So much to look at and love about this blog. And there's also a section dedicated to Independent League baseball. The Q & A's are interesting and fun. Also appreciated is the different sections for all levels of MILB. The love for the bus leagues shines through." -Jessica Quiroli; High Heels on the Field

    ------------------

    "Since 2007, Eric Angevine and Brian Moynahan have been writing about the minor leagues of baseball at their website, Bus League Baseball. Along with a number of contributing writers, they have profiled and interviewed players, people affiliated with teams and fans alike to provide a unique perspective on the talented and always entertaining level of baseball." -Michael Maher; Baseball Digest

    -------------------

    "Brian Moynahan at Bus Leagues Baseball interviewed Mike Moustakas about making adjustments after his disastrous 2009, going home to Southern California for the Futures Game and Bull Durham. It’s a good interview and worth the time to read." -Craig Brown; Royals Authority

The Z-Meter 8/11/2010

August 21st, 2010 eangevine

The Z-meter is our way of tracking the prospects we like. We keep track of stats for 25 players at a time, compiled from Baseball America, reader votes, and our own irrational sense of whimsy.
A couple of the players who made it onto the meter via reader voting ended up starting their seasons in the [...]

Comparing Chris Carter and Willie Mays

August 17th, 2010 Brian

When I first read that the Oakland A’s were sending Chris Carter back down to Triple-A Sacramento after a dismal start to his major league career, the first person I thought of was Willie Mays.
Bear with me.
As I remembered it, Mays started his career on a long hitless streak before settling down, breaking out, and [...]
