Carlos and Peter hop on the draft podcast to talk about players they’re now more excited about than they were before finalizing draft reports. They talk about a few names then pick out a few candidates to be the quickest to the majors. Finally the two go back and forth and talk about some of their favorite individual tools or player traits in the class.
