The minor league season is quickly approaching with players beginning to report within the week. With that being said, we're joined by Stephen Rice (Media Relations Coordinator) and Johnny Bravo (Director, Marketing & Communications) of the Fresno Grizzlies organization. They discuss the culture of Fresno and its influence on the coming alternate uniforms (hint: they're really really cool jerseys). We finish up with some stumping Rockies' trivia.

Jon joins the guys and gives his expert fantasy advice. An engineer/fantasy baseball savant, Jon shares some behind the numbers tips that may help win your next league.

The owners are doing owner things. This week, we're joined by James to discuss the new plan of MLB owners to cut hundreds of minor league playing opportunities once the new CBA is agreed upon. That doesn't sit well with our mantra. On a brighter note, the Rockies have been busy on the minor league signing front and we key you in to project their impact this year. Perhaps most excitingly, college baseball is here! We wrap up with a preview of what's to come in our next installment.

On episode two of Blake Street Banter on the Farm, we begin with another pair of player bios and discuss their 2022 outlook. Then, a couple of listener questions get addressed as we outline the most notable players projected to be at each affiliate, with some emphasis on the star-studded Spokane Indians team. To wrap up, two more sleeper prospects are identified and finalize the four guys we’ll be keeping an especially close eye on this year. MLB Spring Training doesn’t seem to be getting any closer but we’re less than a month away from MiLB Spring Training, so keep coming back to BSB on the Farm for your necessary Rockies minor league coverage and analysis.

Starting today, we here at Blake Street Banter are going to be starting a bi-weekly to weekly Rockies’ minor league podcast. In the first episode, we bring up a pair of toolsy outfielders and predict their 2022 MiLB affiliate. From there, we check out a pair of new Rockies’ prospect lists courtesy of Fangraphs and Prospects 1500 which helped bring us to the realization that the Rockies are doing well with international signings. Finally, we touch on the MilB housing situation and identify two prospects we’ll have our eyes on this year. Join in on the fun, interact with us on Twitter and ask questions to be discussed in the next podcast, and stick along for the ride as we approach MiLB (and hopefully MLB) Spring Training.

Introducing our newest segment, we are taking a break from talking Rox to talking fantasy. To keep us on the fantasy train all summer long we are putting our money where our mouth is and opening our own public fantasy league. Come play and engage with us all season long playing the fantasy the way it was meant to be played. Check Twitter for league info.
