In Baseball America, try to read them all.

Thanks for the reminder, TPM. It fits perfectly in the Going Pro category. I enjoy reading Dirk's humorous observations.

He is quite a guy! He was my son's road roomie when my son was a freshman in college. I enjoy reading his weekly articles in the local newspaper.
If I came to a game wearing a short sleeve or sleeveless shirt he was the guy on the field yelling "suns out, guns out! He did very well in college and hopefully stays healthy and continues to do well as a pro. Then there's always that writing thing to fall back on.

Hey, TPM:
I think you wrote somewhere that there was a new minor league diary writer for Baseball America. I just saw that Dirk is still contributing.

There are the prospect diaries and the non prospect diaries.
That's great reading...thanks.

Right you are, TPM. I missed that subtle distinction. It was still worthy of a bump.
That was awesome.
Dirk is such a talented writer ... setting aside his humor, he writes almost poetically.
Is there a way to get all of his articles? Do you have to be a paid subscriber to BA (we let ours lapse)? I would like to share other articles with some of my friends.
Found the index in the archive ... never mind.

Not a non prospect any more...
Not sure if this has already been posted but Dirk got the call and made his debut on Saturday against the Giants - 4 innings pitched, 5 hits, 3 runs all earned, no decision...
Congratulations to a very talented young writer (and baseball player!!!)

Great news ... may he pitch many more.
And we all know he has a second future in writing when baseball is over for him.

This is just not right...
Jays Choose Bush Over Dirk
Bush takes the place of BA diarist Dirk Hayhurst on the 40-man roster. Hayhurst, like Bush, pitched in the Padres farm system previously, and Hayhurst made his major league debut last year with San Diego.
I'm no Bush basher, but I saw where he got into trouble again recently. Surely the Jays are taking a considerable risk.
Ya' gotta love Dirk and root for him to make it back on the 40.

Wow, what a bummer, Bush has some issues again recently.
Perhaps to the Blue Jays, makeup doesn't matter.
I didn't realize that Dirk had gone to the BJ's. I hope that he gets picked up this spring.
We love you Dirk!

A friend told me that Hayhurst was resigned by the Jays to a minor league contract... Checked the Jays site and it IS correct.
I see under today's transactions that he was signed by the Jays.
Maybe Dirk can get his spot back on the 40 man roster now. I hope, I hope, I hope.
Jays cut troubled former No.1 draft pick Matt Bush

With the all too sad notice that some of our favorite son's milb days may be ending, here is a telling blog from Baseball Americas prospect diaries. Watch And Worry
Dirk rocks!
Dirk has a new post on the Beacher Report
