    304 | MLB Draft Mailbag!

    Aram and Jack answer your submitted questions!
    How do you think Braden Montgomery will do after his ankle injury in the Super Regionals and where will he start in the minor leagues? - @gdkeenan20 on X How long does it take to get Bazzana up to CLE? - @tschulmanreport on X Is Ben Hess a potential starter or more likely a reliever? - @AJ_gilly1 on X What is Wetherholt’s pro comp/ceiling? I’ve seen him compared to future teammate Brendan Donovan. Donnie is a great player for the Cards but I’m hoping (expecting) for a bit more. - @d_rawlings23 on X Who do you feel better about between wilken, boeve and Burke now as the brewers long term 1b? - @daginga34 on X In the last two drafts the Tigers passed on two premium college bats to go with the high upside tooled out high schoolers. If you were in the Tigers front office which route in the draft would you have gone? - @jbodlovic on X What's are some of the best examples of teams manipulating slot values to perfection? Alternatively, some examples of teams that did so and regretted under slotting. Love the content guys! - @BrandonDillman6 on X Any player & org pairings that have you concerned about maximizing that players potential? - @RokiHorrorPS on X 41:30Who do you think could make a real impact at the MLB level next season? - @jamodagoat on X Highest ceiling of any guy drafted outside of the top 15 picks? - @________dame________ on Instagram

Terrific content

Absolutely one of the best fantasy baseball podcasts out there, especially if you are looking for great insight on prospects.

Combat Trumpet ,

The BEST baseball podcast

And it’s not even close. It’s an 80 grade “knowledge” for me, 80 “content”, and sneaky humor. Keeps me coming back to listen every day! 😁

CheeseSRQ ,

Great show!

I caught on to Aram when he hosted another prospect podcast. When I discovered he had started a new podcast I immediately followed and subscribed. He and Jack are very knowledgeable and have a good chemistry on the show. Recently I have gotten a few friends listening as well. Make sure to check this show out!
