We’re starting to get into some serious territory now as we finish up the back half of the top 100. Let’s do it!

Sam works his way into this post instead of the prior one by way of the tiebreaker (higher average points). I can’t see friggencards without hearing Kyle Reis welcoming him into a Prospects After Dark. Mike might be one of the few that enjoys driving people nuts with puns more than I do.

Craig went from VEB to FanGraphs to the MLB Players Union. Unsurprisingly, he’s a little too busy to tweet (even if his job allowed for it). If Total_CardsMove is someone else now, I hope someone lets me know. Couldn’t find it when putting this post together. The Palm Beach Cardinals account is excellent, even if it may still have PTSD from seeing all the Mets superstar pitchers last year. I’m never not going to promote Mark Tomasik–RetroSimba has a post on anything you might want to know about Cardinal history.

I see Chelsea has a wedding set for 2022, so congrats to her on that. Gotta appreciate Ryan continually trying to will the Cardinals into making news. Alex is a 40-ish dad with an affinity for Ozzie Smith baseball cards, so no wonder we get along so well.
One more bulk post to go before we start the deep dive into the Top 25. Come back this afternoon for that!
