On today's show, we're looking ahead to the regular season with a mailbag! We talk about prospects who aren't consensus Top-100 prospects who have impressed at spring training, like Dodgers OF Andy Pages, Washington RHP Jackson Rutledge, and Angels reliever Ben Joyce. Next, we discuss when you should move a pitcher from AA to AAA, and if you can fully evaluate a prospect via video versus seeing them live. Finally, we look at some individual prospects that have prompted questions: OF Heston Kjerstad of the Orioles as potential Top 50 prospect, whether RHP Alex Santos of the Astros can get back into his Top 30, and some impressive WBC prospect performances (RHP Duque Hebbert of Nicarauga (now with the Tigers), RHP Javier Assad of Mexico and the Cubs, and OF Jose Ramos of Panama and the Dodgers.
