About this episode
Ben and Carlos wrap up their final series of organization overviews following the 2024 season with the American League West. The two open the show with a conversation about the process behind Baseball America’s annual Prospect Handbook— which you can purchase here as a last-minute Christmas gift for yourself or a loved one! —and then get into the organization rundowns. The two fawn over Seattle’s crop of young, up-the-middle hitting talent in one of the deepest and strongest systems they’ve covered yet, then get into an interesting discussion about who’s No. 2 in the system: the Rangers or the A’s? After some prospect gushing about Nick Kurtz, Kumar Rocker and Sebastian Walcott, things take a turn for the worse in regards to the Angels and Astros, who seem to be battling it out for the dubious honor of No. 30 org ranking. — Time Stamps (0:30) Prospect Handbook process (7:00) AL West overview (8:30) Mariners (33:00) A’s (47:00) Rangers (1:08:00) Angels (1:18:00) Astros Do you have a question you want us to answer?
