After a week in Dallas and a show that was getting ready for Dallas, we’re back with our first ‘normal’ show in a while. It has all the usual stuff with emails, talks about all the big moves, reviews of some prospect lists and some Yu Darvish predictions. Speaking of Darvish, our special guest is Bobby Keppel, a former big leaguer who has spent the last two years in the same rotation with Darvish, and he breaks him down for you, while telling some tales from his own fascinating career. As always, we hope you enjoy.
The Padres are the rare team with a very deep farm but no star-level talent.
Two teams with different competitive windows trade arms, as the A’s send Trevor Cahill and Craig Breslow to Arizona for Jarrod Parker and other prospects.
Tying up the loose ends from Dallas, as the Brewers bring in Alex Gonzalez to replace Yuniesky Betancourt, the Angels sign LaTroy Hawkins, the Orioles trade for Dana Eveland, and the Rockies and Cubs swap flawed former prospects.
It’s our final show from Dallas as the great Jay Jaffe joins Jason and I for the introductory segment, and then three more interviews, as Mark Gonzales from the Chicago Tribune joins us to talk about the future of the White Sox, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle joins us to talk about the new media dress code, and then we score the interview we couldn’t get Monday, as we finish up with Yolanda, the media room security lady.
Just a quick tryptych of interviews as former podcast guests Juan C. Rodriguez, Derrick Goold and Andy McCullogh join us to discuss Pujols mania, and just some general mania as well.
The White Sox send a cost-controlled closer to Toronto for a somewhat promising pitcher.
Which players who may be on the trade market could benefit most from a change of scenery?
So what happened on day one? Pretty much nothing, but that’s OK, as Jason and I can talk briefly about nothing, our encounters with sexiness, and then special interviews with Rob Neyer and Dylan Hernandez wrap everything up. Let’s hope for more action tomorrow.
It’s a short show, because we wanted to get to all of your great email. Still, we yammer for about an hour about a variety of subjects, have a quick That Just Happened and tell you of our plans for three shows next week in Dallas. As always, we hope you enjoy.
Please welcome Joe Hamrahi as Prospectus Entertainment Ventures’ new Fearless Leader.
There aren’t many stars in the system, but there are potential reinforcements.
It’s a very special Thanksgiving episode of the podcast. Well, not really, but we do talk about food at the end. With the new CBA announced on Tuesday afternoon, we are joined by Jeff Passan of Yahoo Sports to discuss the good, the bad and the ugly of the new agreement, and our other special guest is my mother, with her own That Just Happened. In between we read tons of emails, talk about prospects, awards and Neftali Feliz’ new job, and at some point even bring friend of the show Jorge Arangure in to add some holiday cheer. As always, we hope you enjoy.
Even after a ton of graduations to the majors, the Royals can still top the prospect charts.
If the Phillies dealt Cole Hamels, what kind of prospect haul would they receive?
