The Sorsby discussion is layered. The off-field/gambling stuff obviously. If he was a knockdown first rounder that would be one thing, but he isn’t. And in a draft everyone is saying is loaded, spending a top 100 pick on a guy with this much uncertainty seems ill advised

The excellent @billbarnwell joins me!
We breakdown the Brenden Sorsby-Supplemental Draft situation. Where does his stock sit? Which teams could be interested? What should they bid?
We also share the things currently making us go HMMMM. NFL teams using more tempo and under center to pass protection changes and run game improvements!
Awesome convo with Bill.
Josiah Hartshorn is ridiculous. 5th HR in his last 10 games.
He's a switch-hitting 19-year-old who is running a contact rate of 80%, chase rate of 19% and an EV90 of 105 MPH.
Currently No. 63 overall for @JustBB_Media, but safe to say the arrow is pointing directly upwards.
Cubs catcher prospect Owen Ayers is on another planet right now. In his last 10 games at AA, he is 24 for 40 (.600), with 12 XBH. 1.752 OPS.
Now up to a 188 wRC+ this year. He has also thrown out 35% of attempted base stealers. 19th rounder in '24. Another Cubs scouting W.
The Twins have long wondered what Byron Buxton's talent might look like over a sustained period of health, and they are finally getting the answer.

James Wood is no longer just an exciting young player with immense upside.
Our @shaan_don8 breaks down why Wood is becoming the type of centerpiece who can anchor a playoff-caliber lineup:

Thor buddy we gotta stop rewriting history. He wasn’t just bad, he was historically bad. Same zip code as Zach Wilson and Jamarcus Russell. Maybe it gets better, but let’s not blame O’Connell’s “lack of faith” in him for him being outlier bad
@Nate_Tice It’s also one of the simplest rotations you can have. Hard to get to the funk on the fly.
Analogy:
Tempo is like traffic on the bases for the pitcher. It adds an element of stress and typically forces simplification
It's time to dive into the ever-fascinating Pete Crow-Armstrong and figure out exactly who he is as a hitter.
