Dirty Kurt’s Dugout

https://www.genesroadtothebigleagues.com/about-gene-richards.html (Gene Richards), former San Diego outfielder and first baseman, hit .290, with a .357 on-base percentage and 247 stolen bases in his career. And he still ranks high in many Padres' career statistics. Yet his former teammate Kurt Bevacqua, host of Dirty Kurt's Dugout, says Gene's name doesn't come up in conversation about the team's past as much as it should. Gene takes a seat on the pine to reflect on his 1977-1984 big-league career and to talk about his current work with young players in Reno, Nevada.

Then, KB is joined by renowned fantasy-baseball analyst https://twitter.com/RunTMc59006473 (Tim McLeod) of http://prospect361.com (Prospect361.com). After being on Episode 6 of Season 1, Tim returns to Dirty Kurt's Dugout to provide some tips on who to avoid (a former AL MVP?!) and who to nab (perhaps a young Padre?) in your upcoming drafts.
