On this inaugural edition of Prospect Bar-B-Cast, Jake Mintz, Jordan Shusterman and Mike Ferrin break down this year's standouts from the Arizona Fall League, such as Colson Montgomery, Jackson Jobe, Ricky Tiedemann, Abimelec Ortiz, and a whole lot more. Then, they discuss the Vidal Brujan trade, and talk about the biggest implications from the last weeks Rule 5 Protection Deadline.
Ben and Carlos chat about MLB awards season, despite the fact that most of the winners were unanimous and ultimately not too surprising. After that the two talk about the PPI picks that the D-Backs and Orioles will receive thanks to Corbin Carroll and Gunnar Henderson, and the pros and cons of all of the new rule changes in regards to the draft—and it seems like mostly pros outside of additional headaches that Carlos has to deal with. The two briefly talk about the Braves-White Sox trade that put Aaron Bummer in Atlanta and sent a five-player package to Chicago, before touching on the 40-man roster deadline and talking a bit of Rule 5 draft. The two also examine some of the first round misses that the protection deadline highlighted, including Twins shortstop Keoni Cavaco, Twins first baseman Aaron Sabato and Royals lefthander Asa Lacy. What are the lessons to be drawn from those picks?The bulk of the episode is spent analyzing the farm systems for the NL Central clubs. Just how good is the Brewers farm system? Which of these teams has surged forward over the second half of the season given their 2023 draft and prospect finishes? And which clubs or prospects do the two disagree on?

You'll hear about the big boys; Asa Lacy and Bobby Witt Jr, and you'll get some nice information on Erick Peña, Jackson Kowar, and Alec Marsh!

The trade menace and GM of the Pittsburgh Pirates had a rousing chat with Artie about the NL Central. Somewhere in here Asa Lacy wins 4 Cy Youngs, throws a 2-hit shutout, players get waived 8 times, Yu Darvish AND Joey Votto get ol' yeller'd, and we get a double nice.
