Podcast appearances and mentions of Brady Aiken

We continue to look at why it was that top prospects did not find success in the big leagues. We lead off with a big bat in Nick Weglarz who also begins a theme for this episode injuries. The Big Canadian moved quickly, but got slowed due to injury and then never got the chance he likely deserved. Next up is a pair of similar arms with huge potential that had even bigger injury issues. Jason Knapp and Brady Aiken were about a decade apart in terms of when they were let go, but the two arms have a lot in common in terms of how long they pitched, innings pitched, and what went wrong. We end with a look back at Alex White, who the Indians turned into Ubaldo Jimenez. I explain a crazy theory I had at the time on White. It is interesting that now it would be very clear about White's chances at MLB success. Yet a decade ago the same numbers were not looked at as much. It is easy to see how ERA fails why strikeout data is so much more valued when one looks at White.  Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

1) Ty Van Burkleo is out as hitting coach. He was the longest-tenured-hitting coach in baseball. We dig into why I think it happened and why it will be a good move for the Indians moving forward. 2) The Indians minor leagues released nine players. We talk about the other eight names a day after focusing on Brady Aiken including a 28-year-old rookie. 3) We discuss why the Indians made the choices they did for the Arizona Fall League. We talk about why Pinto is no lemon and a player to watch. We also discuss who is there for reps, as a reward, and to prove they should be added to the 40-man. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Built BarBuilt Bar is a protein bar that tastes like a candy bar.

There's an old saying: "a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush". Brady Aiken understands exactly what that means. After turning down a $5 million offer as the number one overall pick in the 2015 draft, Aiken enrolled at IMG Academy for a postgraduate year in 2015, where he got hurt during his first start and needed Tommy John surgery. He would get drafted 17th overall by the Indians that year and sign for $2.5 million, but Aiken's career immediately nosedived. As compensation for not signing Aiken in 2014, the Astros received the #2 pick in the 2015 draft, which they used to sign Alex Bregman.... All this (and more) on today's episode.

We take some time to look at geotags of the pod, turns out Cleveland is not even our top city in Ohio. We give Greensboro a shoutout again. There is a twitter question. A discussion into the Yankees and how they might make a natural trade partner down the line post Servino's injury. We spend a lot of time on Brady Aiken who came to Arizona today, some retreading of the talk of him before. But there might not be a player who shifted more in baseball than Aiken who never even made it to AA. If he signs in 2014, no Bregman to the Astros? No Verlander? Walker Buehler to the Indians? We will never know. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Spring Training is about to begin and the baseball season is right around the corner. The last 15-weeks, I’ve been in the weight-room grinding and preparing 8 current MLB and minor-league players for their upcoming 2020 season. Baseball is a sport built on endurance, mindset...and failure.  Yes, failure. Pro baseball is a long season that requires mental toughness, incredible endurance, massive consistency, good health, and keeping your mind right. In this episode, pro baseball players Stephen Gonsalves (3rd round), Brady Aiken (1st round/1st overall pick), and Daniel Camarena (20th round) share their journey, the mindset needed to succeed in baseball, tips for young athletes today, what they do daily to keep their minds right, and what drives them to be in the “Bigs.”  Listen to this episode and you’ll have a seat in the dugout with these 3 young men on the reality of what the road to “the Show” really looks like. I believe you will glean great motivation, wisdom, and insight to how some extremely high-performers think, prepare, and ultimately perform, regardless if you’re in the “bigs” or still in the “minors” dreaming to get to the next level.   Special shout-out to Stephen Gonsalves, Brady Aiken, & Daniel Camarena for being guests on today’s IMPACT Show.

Brady Aiken might be retiring looking back at 2015 draft and the ones around then to see if the Indians drafts really did improve or was it just a matter of the low ceiling set by the Shapiro years. We look at how Brady Aiken changed the course of history of two franchises and the whole of baseball in general. Aiken not signing with the Astros allowed them to draft Bregman and gave them extra pool money to sign Daz Cameron who they used to net Verlander. All of baseball is drastically changed by a guy who never reached A ball. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Apparently nobody told the Red Sox baseball season is over in Boston. The club has won seven of its last eight games, and swept the Royals over the weekend. But they’ve made up approximately no ground in the AL East, and that’s the problem. The Red Sox play the Blue Jays and Rays on a seven-game road trip this week. They have to play nearly flawless baseball – especially against the Jays – to ensure that last weekend’s performance represents a turning point in the season. It’s difficult to have faith that they will. Most of the veterans who are in the final year of their contracts should still be moved prior to the trade deadline, regardless of how the Red Sox play leading up to it. Removing Jake Peavy, Stephen Drew, Jonny Gomes and others from the roster would clear space for some of the young players who need to be evaluated, and maybe even improve the team in the short-term. Jon Lester delivered a dominant outing against the Royals Sunday to continue his contract push. But history demonstrates that the Red Sox don’t pay market value for their own players, and that’s what this negotiation could come down to. Alex provides an overview of the AL East standings in the “Around the League” segment, and talks about the hole that Masahiro Tanaka’s UCL tear leaves in the Yankees’ rotation. Plus, the Blue Jays apparently violated baseball’s “unwritten rules" over the weekend. Uh-oh … The Astros failed to sign their number one pick, Brady Aiken, to a contract Friday. The supposedly smartest organization in the league failed to forecast a possible problem with his physical, which doesn’t reflect well on them. Feel free to follow Alex on Twitter (@AlexReimer1), and send him an email (ajreimer0@gmail.com). You can read Alex all week on BostInno.com, and listen to him Fridays from 3-6 p.m. EST on Glenn Ordway’s “Big Show Unfiltered.”
