    This week's episode of the MLB Pipeline Podcast has plenty of speed. That's because Sam Dykstra, Jonathan Mayo and Jason Ratliff are joined by the Cardinals' Victor Scott II and the Rays' Chandler Simpson, who stole a combined 189 bags in 2023. The Pipeline trio also takes a look at the finalists for Pitching Prospect of the Year, discusses some intriguing promotions to Triple-A to close out the Minor League season, analyzes the most recent Rookie Power Rankings and answers a mailbag question about the top two on those rankings, Corbin Carroll and Gunnar Henderson.

    Where does Holliday's season rank?

    On the heels of Jackson Holliday's third promotion of the season (this one to Triple-A), Jim Callis, Jonathan Mayo and Jason Ratliff consider just how special the No. 1 prospect's first full season has been, comparing it to the best full-season debuts and age-19 seasons in recent memory. The trio then discusses the big league callups of Yankees outfielder Jasson Domínguez, Mets infielder Ronny Mauricio and Reds right-hander Connor Phillips before breaking down the most recent additions to the Top 100 Prospects list: Cubs shortstop Matt Shaw, D-backs shortstop Tommy Troy and Angels first baseman Nolan Schanuel. And as usual, the crew wraps up the episode by answering a question from the Mailbag.

Pretty decent but…..

It’s a great podcast. Well recorded too, but there is WAYYYY too many ads!!!

Cubs “Resources”

Old Man Ricketts? That cheap Nathan Bedford Forrest wannabe? Get serious. Old Man Ricketts wants to make Cubs players pay a daily locker fee. And buy their own toilet paper. *** MLB’s Witt > Rutschman = Nepotism *** Three of the 2022 Top 11 not on the 2021 Top 100 only serves as further proof of your laziness, incompetence, unprofessionalism, and lack of knowledge.
