For those who may not have seen it, Chris Mellen is joining Baseball Prospectus's prospect coverage, with his first contributions coming in this morning's Monday Morning Ten Pack ( www.baseballprospectus.com/article.php?articleid=18292) He's not leaving or anything, which is great for us (as evidenced by his post on the News Page this morning), but it's also a great opportunity for him. Well deserved. Congrats, Chris.

Chris, I (and others) have complimented you many times before, but I will now do so again. Your many Sox prospect reviews/updates are a major, major reason for my tuning into Soxprospects. You give us all a dispassionate above-it-all view into the farm that few could match. I am not sure of your background, but your frequent prospect reports are very much in-depth, detailed, insightful and objective. There is an unbiased and unemotional feel about them that lends an additional layer of credibility. Major Kudos to you for being able to pull that off. Thank you!

No surprise that you're expanding your workload. Want to thank you again for the exceptional reports you've provided and tell you that I look forward to many more - no matter where they're posted.

Congrats, Chris! Can't wait to see you replace Jonathan Mayo on MLB.com or Keith Law on ESPN.

I've been touched by all of the nice posts, words of support, and tweets from everyone. You guys are the best. I really mean that.
I'm looking forward to the opportunity and think that all prospect followers are really to enjoy/benefit from the new plan for minor league coverage going forward. Its going to be big.

I guess this means that I'll have to start reading BP again. Kinda got away from them for some unknown reason.
Good luck Chris, glad to hear you're getting your due credit.
