The draft begins Sunday, July 17 at 7pm Eastern. The Rockies will select 4 guys by the end of the night as they have the 10, 31, 38 and 50th draft picks this year. Tyler (@RoxDontRake) and Nick (@NicksLiveLooks) walk us through some names that we could see come up on Sunday. We discuss the other Mocks and names associated - Gavin Cross, Kumar Rocker, Brock Porter - as well as explain the Draft Pool. Before we dive into this year's picks, we take a look at a few guys from last year that have been steals and guys we are still waiting on. Listen to the pod and let us know who you want to be drafted on the first night!

Get caught up with our previous Draft Pods by going back and listening to #17 with KDub, #16, and #15.

James (@JustKeatingBSB) and Aaron (@radioofam) are back to get you caught up with all the happenings after our 2 week hiatus. We saw the Futures Game roster announced, and we are stoked for the two representatives but believe a third should have been added. Welker being DFA'd is weird but is is the correct move? The Banter Boys have been griping for months about the lack of moves and callups, but we finally got what we wanted! Tune in to find out which moves we like the most, or lack of moves.  We end it with Montero and PJ talk. Thank you to @MajorLeaguePuns for the question!

Drafted in the 4th round in the 2020 MLB Draft, Williams has already, what seems to be, been through a lot as a professional athlete. From being drafted by his hometown team to being traded and then coming back to the Rox all within a calendar year, the young 20 year old carries himself like a soft spoken vet. He opens up about that process, his pitch arsenal (you'll never believe how his slider became so nasty) and what he hopes to achieve going forward this year. Another can't miss Session!

Ward is an electric baseball player, constantly causing chaos on the base paths, pushing the envelope every time he's between the white lines. He's just as electric in this Banter Session. Ward knows what his job is and how to have fun doing it. From experiencing the CWS as a freshman at UW, playing next to Willie MacIver, Ward learned quickly what he needed to do to be a good lead-off hitter. Ward started playing his professional career back in his hometown and is now in Spokane. Hear how each spot affects his performance, in a fun way. Ward has been very happy with how the Rockies are taking care of him and his colleagues, he also is talking and helping the new kids on the block as they work together towards the same goal.

Quite frankly, we are fed up with what the Rockies are doing to Feltner and Montero, we want to know your thoughts. Send a voice memo to [email protected] and let us hear them! There is a lot to be happy about on the Farm: Fresno Clinched, Goats came up short - barely, Indians have an emerging third name to go along with Veen and Romo and the Isotopes are out setting records, thanks to Friends of the Pods, Wynton Bernard and Coco Montes. We end it with ACL/DSL talk.

We were joined by Family of the Pod, @KDub1988! The Isotopes were hot last week, as was Vilade. Aaron and Tyler take full credit for Vilade's hot week, not the adjustments he made. We compare the Spokane and Hartford rotations and we are NOT worried about the Grizzlies. The meat and potatoes of the episode is sandwiched in the middle -- CWS Draft coverage. Tyler and Kenneth give their names and hot takes on who the Rox could possibly pick this year that you could see playing in Omaha -- did someone say two way player?!  We end the pod with our picks for who will be representing the Rox in the futures game. #TovarSZN

His beard is incredible but there is more to the guy behind it. Taggart is the true definition of "hard work pays off". From Incarnate Word to a solid graduate year at Oklahoma, Taggart earned himself a MiLB Free Agent contract, even when it seemed a little iffy there for a moment. Make sure you listen to how he learned to throw his offspeed pitches and the advice his dad gave him when he was younger.

Two sweeps? Three player of the week honors? What a week it was on the farm. Come join us while we banter on the ins and outs of what happened this week and as we dive into potential promotions. Stick around for some now rare BSB discussion on whats going on with the big league club.

We do a quick one during the Avs game. Quick recap of college baseball regionals, a few names to keep an eye on as far as call ups go and we make the case for Wynton to get called up. The meat and potatoes of this week's pod is at the end where James and Aaron give their top 5 players, so far, on the farm. 

 The recently retired Nate Harris shares his baseball story! From JUCO to LA Tech to developing a Knuckleball, there is almost nothing this guy hasn't seen or done. He opens up about his playing time with the Rockies, his retirement, and what is next on deck!
