Hi, I'm Carlos. I'm a national writer for Baseball America, where I cover the MLB draft and prospects.
This site hosts my blog and home on the internet for all things that aren’t baseball writing. You can see what I'm focused on right now or read more about me here.

Monster Lo-Carb
About 95% of the time if I'm drinking a Monster it's the White Ultra. And 99% of the time the energy drinks I'm drinking are full sugar free.
Every once in a while though I get this random urge for the Lo-Carb Monster to remind me of how chaotic that normal blend Monster formula is. It's such a unique flavor. I have never really liked it, but it does just hit you in a way that's hard to describe and occasionally... refreshing? Idk.
It's a 40, but nothing really tastes similar to this.

What It Means to Be American
I really appreciate David Frum’s podcast. His latest episode was a good one:
Then David is joined by CNN’s Fareed Zakaria to reflect on the American ideals that captivated David and Fareed when they first immigrated to the U.S. and whether they still ring true today. As America celebrates its 250th anniversary, David and Fareed discuss whether this country remains the same one they moved to many years ago and whether America has strayed from its foundational principles.

Riders Field
A few weeks ago I got a chance to check out Riders Field, which is the home of the Frisco RoughRiders, the Double-A affiliate for the Texas Rangers.
This is one of the coolest and most unique baseball fields I've been to. When I was at the field I felt like I was in a different time and place. It has so much charm and character.
Apparently Riders Field was designed to feel like a "park inside a park" and they absolutely nailed that vibe. The open pavilion setup around the concourse makes you feel like you're walking around a Farmer's Market or something, and then there's a lazy river and water section in right field.
I got a great look at Alabama's Justin Lebron when I was here—which was the point of the trip—but just being able to take in a game was extremely cool and memorable.
