Kyle Drabek joins us to chat about his time with the Blue Jays. Kyle is a Daddy and proud and he brings us up to speed on the family Drabek. Golf, Tiger Woods and drunken college kids at golf tourneys get a bunch of laughs from the guys. What makes a great catcher in the mind of Kyle. Was there a catcher that Kyle felt most comfortable with and why? Baseball parties. YEAH, we talk about those. Kyle discusses his intensity and how he feels like he was too hard on himself. Its a wonderful chat with a ball player that will be linked to a Blue Jay fan favourite for eternity and he deals with that reality with such grace and humour. The First Pitch chats mothers and mothers day. Barry and Matt extol the virtues of their Mommy’s. The guys recount the story of Facetiming Barry during his son’s drum recital. Why is The Golden State Warriors game happening at 3:30PM EST? What does this have to do with Game of Thrones. Lots - according to Matt. Clay Buchholz is injured and HAS A LOT WRONG WITH HIM. Socrates Brito has been DFA’d. PRAISE THE LORD. Ask Barry Davis chats about the batting order and why being in the 2 spot is a great place for Vladimir Guerrero Jr. What is it to insulate a hitter? WAMCO and the reason it was so frightening is touched on. Is there a protocol with asking athletes questions? The results of Fair or Foul Poll are private.

Welcome back to Radio Scouts Podcast. Thanks to a multitude of Blue Jays moves on Tuesday, we have so much to get into, so let's not waste another minute.(0:00) Intro(0:13) THE DECISION! We announce the verdict on the Darrell Dynasty League trade that Mike and Andrew discussed at the end of the show last week: Carlos Correa for Bo Bichette, Nate Pearson, and Touki Toussaint.(2:43) Kevin Pillar OUT; shipped out of town for some stuff: RP Derek Law, 2B/OF Alen Hanson, and SP prospect, Juan De Paula. We also briefly touch on the Kendrys Morales trade, which broke after we wrapped recording last week.(6:47) Anthony Alford IN; recalled from AAA Buffalo. What's the plan with him? We discuss this.(8:53) Randal Grichuk inks a 5-year/$52M extension with the Jays. We agree collectively that the potential is there for some pretty good value, though this deal is not devoid of risk. We also speculate if this extension is a direct response to the seemingly evident shift in the contractual landscape of Major League Baseball, and who might be the next player to be extended.(20:13) Socrates Brito (80-grade name) acquired shortly after the Pillar trade broke. Flipped for minor leaguer, Rodrigo Orozco.(20:52) Bud Norris released from his minor-league deal(21:13) How have the Blue Jays looked through the first 6 games of the season? We offer our thoughts, while not reading much into such a small sample size. What should we expect out of this team this season? Rotation talk (Matt Shoemaker, Trent Thornton)Brandon Drury(29:08) Vlad is healthy again and back to playing baseball. How long does he spend in the minors before getting the inevitable call to the bigs?(30:32) Notable minor league assignments ('A' Lansing: Eric Pardinho, Jordan Groshans, Josh Winckowski, Otto Lopez, Alejandro Kirk, Mc Gregory Contreras; 'A+' Dunedin: Nate Pearson - probably not long for High-A).(32:43) Totally appropriate and necessary banter(35:28) Parting thoughts on the Kevin Pillar trade(38:35) OutroAs always, thanks for listening.Follow us on Twitter!Recording date: Apr. 2, 2019Intro/outro music:Track: Disfigure - Blank [NCS Release]Music provided by NoCopyrightSoundsWatch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p7ZsBPK656sFree Download/stream: http://ncs.io/blankSupport the show (https://www.patreon.com/radioscouts)

Always something new for y’all on the 2020 Allstars. I (David) was homeless for the month of March. Instead of scrambling to find a place in Berlin, I decided to travel to Egypt. So this weeks episode comes to you from Cairo. As such the audio quality isn’t quite up to snuff, but you’re probably not here for that anyway. We discuss the AJ Pollock injury and some guys that could put up “AJ Pollack”-like numbers. Or what you could do to make up the power and the steals, although there really isn’t a 20/40 guy just sitting out there. Names like Joey Rickard and Travis Shaw get bandied about. But the purpose of this show is our bold predictions for 2016: Socrates Brito! Looks like he will get a shot with AJ Pollack being injured. He’s shown double digit pop and 30+ steals in the minors. Tood sees a 15/20 season in 2016. We’re also hoping for this because we picked up Brito. Why not? My first prediction is Pedro Alvarez as a top 7 1B with 35+ homers and an average north of .250. I did a little “analysis” and the park factors to lefties leans strongly in Alvarez’s favor. I also wanted to throw Jonathon Schoop into this one. Alvarez + Schoop over 60 homers?! They don’t call them bold predictions for nothing. Justin Turner makes the leap to become a top 7 3B. He was on pace last year until he got injured so is it crazy? His ISO seemed a bit high last year and Todd thinks this power surge will continue. I like him too, but I’m not sure about the power numbers. Trevor Bauer top 15 closer! He finally becomes the guy we thought he could be. Cody Allen’s spring numbers have me a little worried. The control is not there… if there are velo issues then this one could pay off. Todd suggests that he just needs the closer glasses and everything will be good. Nick Williams wins the NL Rookie of the Year. I throw out the comparison to Adam Jones. He’s a swinger, but with some plate discipline so he doesn’t strike out at a crazy rate. 21/12 with a .275 average is what Todd likes on the high end as long as things fall into place. Speaking of prospects, I’m way down on Bryon Buxton. He’s touted as the next big thing, but I just don’t see it. My bold prediction is that his bat forces the Twins to send him back to the minors. Todd counters that Buxton’s defense will keep him in the league. It’s a good point, but if Buxton keeps hitting .200 then he’s out of there. I wanted to compare him to Brandon Wood, but I forgot Wood’s name. Ryan Madson gets 20 saves. Sean Doolittle is doing everything he can to lose the job. Ryan Raburn, .300 average and 18hrs in like 250 ABs. He’s now in Colorado and he’ll mash lefties. I have been a Raburn fan for a long time so take this one with a LARGE grain of salt. Todd’s final bold prediction… Zack Wheeler comes back strong after the AS break. Todd is looking for about a strikeout per inning and good ratios. My final bold prediction is that Marcus Stroman is in the Cy Young discussion. Tons of wins, sub-3 ERA, 8.5 K/9. Plus Todd tweeted last year “Marcus Stroman, Cy Young 2016”, so I’ll run with it as well. Let’s see if Todd was prophetic.
