Derrik and Hunter are joined by Boston Red Sox prospect John Holobetz for MiLB Talk. The right-handed pitching prospect talks about being the PTBNL in the Quinn Priester trade. He tells us about his time in the Red Sox system and what pitches he's working on. Holobetz tells us about which pitchers he's worked with, talks Johanfran Garcia, and gives his thoughts on Greenville. They learn what pitch he'd like to add to his repertoire, and which teammate he'd like to face in the box. Hunter and Derrik then do a rundown on the rest of the minor league system.Make sure to follow us on Twitter, @ThePeskyReport.
