We didn't skip the Rockies, although we considered it.

Our prospect lists are done which means we have time to...uh...podcast about our prospect lists.

The senior prospect team gets together to discuss the philosophical underpinnings of this year's national prospect list.

"In the name of God, stop a moment, cease your work, look around you."

This would normally be around the time when our Midseason Top 50 Podcast would be published. This is not that.

“That's maybe the reason he does so many things, so that he will not have to think.”

Show Notes

1. There's been no minor league baseball long enough now that yes we are talking about a 61-year-old on a prospect podcast.

2. 65 is not a grade, Craig.

We know you shouldn't explain the reference, but the structure of this show is a reference to the interview interludes in Stewart Lee's Comedy Vehicle. Also, we didn't actually plan on this being the topic for Episode 17, but once it came up in discussion we realized we had no choice.

From Wikipedia: The term a sliding doors moment became a term popularized in the late 20th-century meaning tiny, seemingly inconsequential moments, that nonetheless alter the trajectory of future events.

We have a special guest co-host this week, as Chris Blessing of Baseball HQ takes us through some of the sites and sounds and promotions you'll see in the minors. Plus, Nathan Graham and Jen Mac Ramos tell us all about epic Monte Harrison tater trots and Cal Quantrill, rodeo champion.
