Cardinals prospect Will Anderson claimed he would give $1 million to a random follower if he won the lottery this week:

Keon Broxton has a request, or maybe some free advice, for Steak n’ Shake:

Someone who’d love a bigger straw, or just steaks and shakes and anything else on their menu? Jeremy Dowdy. The man is hungry:

Everyone loves the lazy dogs of Minor Leaguers, so here ya go:

Mets lefty John Mincone found an urgent request:

Yankees prospect Gosuke Katoh’s claim here is so incredible, I think it warrants more attention than being down below in our usual list of Chipotle fans — 12 consecutive days of Chipotle? And judging by his tweet, he’s not even changing it up with different orders. Can one’s body handle that much Chipotle for two weeks?

“Going strong.” Worth noting that, this was his last tweet, on Feb. 10. He hasn’t tweeted since. Overcome by Chipotle perhaps?

Reds right-hander Mike Dennhardt shared this unique photo from what I assume is his motion-activated hunting camera:

Speaking of cameras, Twins reliever Todd Van Steensel takes his Taylor Swift obsession to new territory:

If you’re curious what Minor Leaguers were tweeting about on Friday, I’ll save you a lot of time — something about Drake and the start of college baseball season. None of the tweets were funny or interesting:

Apparently there was a lot of drama at the Grammy’s this past Sunday (I was watching The Walking Dead and battling the flu, so I can’t verify):
