Episode Details

Ben and Carlos talk about how they react when scouting opinions differ from their own, then take a few listener emails. How do pitchers add velocity so quickly? How do teams rank their own prospects and other prospects from other clubs? Why couldn’t the Pirates offer a ton of money to get Roch Cholowsky to them at pick No. 5?
