In today’s mailbag episode Ben and Carlos talk through Guardians 2B Travis Bazzana’s big league ETA, explain what they look for in prospect beyond physical tools and think through how added weight could impact Brewers SS Jesús Made’s defensive profile. The two answer questions about whether they are buying White Sox INF/OF Sam Antonacci’s breakout, whether there is still hope for Red Sox 2B Kristian Campbell and then answer more detailed questions about draft bonuses and leverage.
