Dylan Bundy isn’t the only 2011 first-rounder blowing away Sally League hitters as Kevin cruises through yesterday in the minors.
What to expect from Jarrod Parker, who makes his A’s debut on Wednesday.
A sleeper in the Rangers system and notes from all of yesterday’s action in the minors.
A trio of perplexing pitchers leads off today’s Ten Pack.
It’s an intimate show loaded with baseball talk. We go through your email (the listeners have come up big in the last two weeks) and then we look back at Pudge Rodriguez, look at some present with some surprising hot starts in the big leagues, and then look forward with the possibility of the 2011 draft being a monster. Then Jason regales us with tales from his week watching Carolina League baseball. From there it’s the goofy stuff, including a video game recommendation that I think will appeal to the statistically minded.
Why Cubs fans need to exercise a bit of caution with Anthony Rizzo, and notes on 35 more prospects.
A profile of Jays RHP Drew Hutchison, who will make his major league debut on Saturday.

We debut a new staff column that collects what talent evaluators in the industry are saying with a look at some scouting scuttlebutt about young pitchers with bright futures.
The growth of Dodgers 2B Alex Castellanos and notes on 30 more prospects from yesterday’s action.

Today’s Ten Pack features more than a few notable A-ball performances in systems that could use some good news.
David Carpenter, Evan Crawford and Jarrod Dyson get the call, and here’s what to expect.
We’re back with another big show. After reading your emails (nice bounce back week from the listeners) we get into lots of baseball talk as I took in my first minor league game of the year and Miguel Sano did not disappoint. Then it’s onto the big leagues as Jason breaks down the first starts of 2012 by Yu Darvish and Neftali Feliz of the Rangers, and we talk about how Yoenis Cespedes has become much-watch television. With some hot minor league starts, the questions about when a player will reach the big leagues have arrived, and I answer every one of them before Jason goes on a rant about how we evaluate defense. Our special guest is ESPN Baseball Tonight host Steve Berthiaume, who for some reason listens to our stupid show, and then it’s the return of Not Jim Tracy and all the goofy stuff. As always, we hope you enjoy.
Another great start for Rangers righty Cody Buckel and notes on 43 more prospects.
