About this episode
Ben and Carlos talk about Trey Yesavage’s lights out start in the World Series and think back to draft day when he fell further than expected to the Blue Jays at 20. The two talk about how medical questions impact the decision-making process for signing players and then turn to the AFL. Which high-performing hitters from the league are we buying and which are we selling? The two then briefly touch on some of the managerial hires around the league and answer a listener question about scouting shortstop defense. — Time Stamps: (0:00) Intro (3:00) Trey Yesavage’s slide on draft day (13:00) Where will Yesavage rank on the 100 (14:30) Do doctors have too much say in the draft room?
