There are things that make you sit up and take notice. One of those is when Kyle Reis (@kyler416) drops his prospect list. This year, the Dirty 35 (plus 15) showed up on Twitter with limited commentary but Daniel (@C70) brings the prospect guru on to break it all down. Where does Cooper Hjerpe rank? Who farther down the list should you keep an eye on? Is Travis Honeyman's future sweet or sour? All that and much more, plus talk about what's gone on so far in Cardinals camp. Add in the second edition of Coach's Corner with Allen (@amedlock1) and it's a show and a half, but it's all worth your time!

Baseball is returning! Allen's (@amedlock1) team gets started next week but the Cardinals are already in Jupiter as images of hurlers hurling and hitters hitting flood the internet.

What kind of leadership is the team looking for? There's also some talk about the reconstructed bullpen and who might (and might not) be a part of it along with what Jason's looking for as spring training games get underway shortly. Plus you can't have Mr. Payroll on without talking numbers and whether the club could/should have spent more!

How interesting is the bullpen construction? Which young hitter has him most intrigued? Plus the guys discuss the Diamond Sports RSN situation, a topic Dayn has written on thoroughly.
