    Sorry Jason. I hate to be that guy, but I went through the payment process, but when I got all the way through and payment was confirmed, it redirected me to this page and said "done but with errors on page." I don't have the handbook as a result.

    2.  By: Rockstar Parking on 03-07-2013 06:50:53
    The handbook gets emailed to you. See the note just above the "pay now" button. I had a similar moment of confusion.

    3.  By: ajhedglin on 03-07-2013 07:24:48
    Well see, Rockstar...I said I hate to be THAT guy. Now I'm also the guy that didn't read all of the instructions before crying foul, haha. I checked my email, still don't have it, but I think the transaction is still pending. I'm sure it'll be there at some point today. I learned to completely read directions today, and it pays to be more patient

    Hey

    I thought I enrolled for a "lifetime" subscription last year and everything would be free. I have noticed that since I enrolled there wasn't much that was subscribers only and now after waiting for the handbook I find that I have to pay again.....please advise

    5.  By: acqb1424 on 03-07-2013 08:32:06
    #4 - That was my question as well. I enrolled for a lifetime subscription a few years ago with the understanding that we would receive all handbooks for free.

    6.  By: Jason A. Churchill on 03-07-2013 09:04:48
    Nos. 4 and 5 -- that's all you had to do -- notify! I have a master list of 4-ever subscribers, but email addresses are not attached to that list, so... this help me.

    Check emails. Sent to the email addresses on file and attached to your PI usernames.

    Include me also Jason, thanks it is always a good read

    Jason,
    Your list of the scouting table on the first page reminds me of a question I've always wondered.
    If you had an SP who was the very definition of average--50's for fastball, slider and changeup--be he could throw those pitches exactly where he wanted every single pitch--what would his xFIP be?
    And what current player(s) are the closest comps?
    thanks

    9.  By: ajhedglin on 03-07-2013 09:41:08
    I got my manual. Thanks Jason. Merry Christmas everyone!!

    Thanks Jason!

    11.  By: rdubmu on 03-07-2013 10:11:39
    Wait Jason, I just bought the $4.99 because I am a subscriber but also a lifetime subscription. So is it free, or did I have to pay $4.99?

    12.  By: acqb1424 on 03-07-2013 10:14:34
    I received my handbook. Thanks Jason! Can't wait to read it!

    13.  By: Hackinator on 03-07-2013 10:15:00
    Got it ,,,,my sweet goodness am I in good shape.

    14.  By: littlelinny6 on 03-07-2013 10:18:24
    Jason,
    I'm a forever subscriber as well so I think like #4 and #5 I should not be charged. Thanks.

    15.  By: rth1986 on 03-07-2013 10:26:44
    Hi Jason, I'm a forever subscriber too. Could you please send me the handbook as well? Thanks!

    Not sure if I'm a lifetime subscriber, or just a normal subscriber. Either way, don't mind paying the $5, as the handbook is awesome. Just finished first skim-through, lot's of good stuff in there. Thanks for all the work that went in there.

    Thanks Jason

    Was this put together before the trade that brought Abe Almonte over? I figured he'd be top-50 worthy.

    I know I like him more than most, though. I think he could become a poor-man's Denard Span in the not too distant future.

    22.  By: smstrobe on 03-07-2013 13:04:41
    Hey team,

    Sorry to add to the pile but I'm also a forever subscriber. Please send the handbook via email whenever is convenient. Thanks, and keep up the great analysis!!

    I've only had a chance to skim through the highlights of the Handbook, but from what I've seen, nice job. Instead of comps to HOF players and other hype, it has a very "realistic" feel too it. It is adding to my sense that what the M's have is a stable of potential good everyday players. Some of whom may have a couple of all-star appearances in them, but someone would have to break out to become a regular all star (Walker and Zunino probably have the most potential to do this). But other than that, there is the foundation of a very solid club down on the farm. Good thing for us baseball is a team sport.

    I will say I was a little surprised by a few rankings (Franklin, Paxton, and Hultzen), but there is a probably a "group" of players there that are awfully close. Also, that is part of cutting through the hype.

    Really 2013 is a big year for our farm, really the year where a lot of the players we've been watching should transition to the MLB, so it is time to see what they really are. Which pitcher is Hultzen, first half in AA (my belief) or second half AAA? Can Paxton muster enough control to be a starting pitcher? Etc.

    62.  By: DucksChamps on 03-11-2013 08:32:18
    Jason, like rth1986, I'd prefer not to provide my email address within the body of this message. I'm #30 above and still haven't received anything in regards to the handbook. Thanks.
