Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Tom Verducci on MLB’s Wildest Pitching Race
Q: Like, are you glad you don't have Twitter?
Tom explains the trade-off of social media as a platform for controversy versus a tool for staying informed, highlighting the noise around the game and his preference for traditional reporting avenues.
Tom Verducci on MLB’s Wildest Pitching Race
Q: That actually might be my first question to Tom.
We discuss the Brewers' pitching depth, Misiorowski and Harrison, and how their development cadence mirrors other top organizations, underscoring why this year's pitching depth stands out.
Jim Callis Reveals MLB Draft Chaos Brewing Behind the Scenes
Q: Jim, what are your early reads on the Top 100 and the potential movement into the top six this year?
Jim discusses how the top six feel relatively stable but emphasizes how everything after that is highly fluid due to ongoing college seasons, injuries, and performances; he highlights several sleepers who could crash into the first round and notes teams' preferences and market signals that could shift positions.
Why Nolan Ryan Could NEVER Exist in Today’s MLB
Q: Nolan Ryan, in today's game, how do you think an arm and a pitcher like him would be treated and developed in the minors in this world?
He would be treated like everyone else, and the game wouldn't allow another Nolan Ryan to emerge in quite the same way; his arc depended on unique development, timing, and the context of the era, which isn't replicated today.
Re-Drafting the 2025 MLB Draft (Based on Bowman Auto Prices)
Q: Who do you think could push higher by the release of 2026 Bowman, and is there a riskier bet you'd avoid?
Ethan Holliday appears to have upside and could challenge for top spots, but the pitchers' risk is high given limited pro data; Arquette's hype remains tricky due to position and team play, suggesting selective buying at reasonable prices.
