Chris is joined by Tim Kanek of the Prospect Warehouse Podcast to break down several prospects Tim has seen firsthand, including Cardinals outfielder Joshua Baez, Nationals shortstop Eli Willits, Reds slugger Alfredo Duno, and more. Along the way, Chris goes on a tangent about the false player‑development reputations some organizations carry—and why those narratives deserve a closer look.

Chris opens the episode with a look at several Atlanta Braves prospects, including Eric Hartman and John Gil, before welcoming Baseball Prospectus’ Jeffrey Paternostro for a wide‑ranging conversation.
