Kokoska, was drafted in the 10th round of the 2021 MLB Draft. Kokoska is working with the youth in his spare time and changing the culture of his small town all while training for his first full professional season. Kansas State was loaded and Kokoska took Wick yard. Zach's collegiate career started at Virginia Tech but ended in Kansas State, for the better.  Zach has never seen the movie Summer Catch and it makes Aaron feel old. Going from the Big 12 to AZL was a big transition but not with his bat. Kokoska was able to take some tips from Daza while he was down there and shares that experience, spoiler he will not grow Daza hair. As always, we end it with our fun questions!

We apologize for the audio, head colds, and adifferent laptop. However, the Banter is fun. Two uneducated dudes talk MLB Lockout and then give our 3 Man Rockies Rotation which leads to fun Pedro Astacio talk.  The dude was a freak.

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.

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.
