Pipeline Podcast: Draft season and soaring prospect stock
With our experts' first mock draft of the season out in the world, Jim Callis and Jonathan Mayo open the latest Pipeline Podcast with an in-depth look at the likeliest players to go with the top five picks of the 2023 Draft. (Spoiler alert: LSU teammates Paul Skenes and Dylan Crews are among the Draft prospects whose names come up.)
The crew then takes a look back at the 2013 Draft, which featured Aaron Judge as the 32nd overall pick and, on the whole, perfectly illustrates a piece of baseball industry wisdom: "The Draft is hard." Next up, Callis and Mayo peek at the Prospect Team of the Week and players who are sending their stock soaring with hot springs -- the Rangers' Kumar Rocker and the Reds' Matt McLain headlining that list. As ever, we close out with a listener mailbag question.
