Baseball Prospectus’ Lead Prospect Writer Jeffrey Paternostro drops by to discuss the site’s new prospect rankings for the Giants’ organization. Together we chat about why catcher development is weird, how pitcher usage affects prospect evaluation, the Giants epochal 2018 J2 class and much more.

Follow Jeffrey on Twitter @jeffpaternostro and look for his prospect coverage on Baseball Prospectus.
