Podcast: Options to go 1-1, Burrows, best Draft tools

July 13th, 2022

Just days away from the SiriusXM All-Star Futures Game and the 2022 Draft, Jim Callis, Jonathan Mayo and Jason Ratliff preview the biggest weekend of the year in Prospectdom. They handicap the candidates to go No. 1 overall in the Draft and then discuss the various permutations of the top five picks based on who goes 1-1. Then they look at the best tools in the Draft class, highlighting the best power hitter, fastest runner, best fastball and more.

Next, they turn their attention to the 2022 SiriusXM All-Star Futures Game, breaking down the rosters and talking to Pirates pitching prospect Mike Burrows, who is on the NL squad. Jim and Jonathan then make their picks in the second annual Unofficial Futures Game Batting Practice Home Run Derby draft.

Finally, they answer: "Should all Draft picks be tradable?"
