Episode web page: Episode summary: In this episode of Insights Unlocked, Nathan Isaacs sits down with Bansi Mehta, founder and CEO of Koru UX, to explore how product and UX teams can design more thoughtful, trustworthy AI experiences using her Sense, Shape, Steer framework. As organizations race to incorporate AI into products and workflows, Bansi explains why many teams fall into the trap of starting with the technology instead of the user problem. She shares practical guidance for slowing down, identifying meaningful AI opportunities, and balancing automation with human oversight—especially in complex enterprise and healthcare environments. Bansi walks through each phase of the framework, from understanding user needs and AI constraints in the “Sense” phase, to prototyping AI behaviors in “Shape,” to continuously evaluating trust, usefulness, and adoption in “Steer.” Along the way, she discusses why transparency alone doesn't guarantee trust, how AI products require ongoing tuning after launch, and why successful AI experiences depend as much on psychology and workflow design as they do on model accuracy. The conversation also explores the challenges product teams face under pressure to “add AI,” the risks of feature creep, and why teams should treat AI implementation as an evolving feedback loop rather than a one-time release. You'll learn: Why AI initiatives often fail when teams start with the solution instead of the problem How the Sense, Shape, Steer framework helps teams design human-centered AI experiences The importance of defining user needs, constraints, and guardrails before building AI features How to determine when AI should automate tasks versus assist humans Why trust and perceived usefulness matter more than raw AI accuracy How continuous feedback and iteration shape successful AI adoption The role of transparency, oversight, and user psychology in AI product design Why enterprise and healthcare AI experiences require careful workflow and risk management Resources and links: Bansi Mehta on LinkedIn (https://www.linkedin.com/in/bansi-mehta/) Koru UX (https://www.koruux.com/) Sense, Shape, Steer framework article and video (https://www.koruux.com/ux-for-ai-training/) Nathan Isaacs on LinkedIn (https://www.linkedin.com/in/nathanisaacs/) Learn more about Insights Unlocked: (https://www.usertesting.com/podcast)

Projected Higher Steer Prices In 2027 The May WASDE report provided the first official look at 2027 steer price projections, and USDA is forecasting prices even higher than the record levels expected in 2026 and the record prices seen in 2025. USDA projected the 2027 steer price at $254 per hundredweight, compared to the 2026 projection of $249.66 and the 2025 annual average of $224.37. That puts 2027 prices $4.34 higher than the projected 2026 record average, an increase of 1.7%. Compared to 2025, the 2027 projection is $29.63 higher, representing a 13.2% increase. USDA also raised its 2026 projection sharply from $241.66 in the April report to $249.66 in the May update due to tighter expected cattle supplies and stronger recent cash market data. USDA steer price projections refer to the 5-Area, Direct, Total All Grades steer price.

Jonathan and his armor bearer stand at the bottom of the ravine, facing a Philistine garrison at the top. The enemy has invited them up as sport, as entertainment, expecting an easy victory. Jonathan's response is not what anyone expected. Where Saul saw nothing but an impossible situation, Jonathan sees something else entirely. What happens next is one of the most stunning reversals in all of 1 Samuel, and the picture of what becomes possible when we stop looking at the obstacle and start looking at the Lord."Mighty Fortress" by Sovereign Grace Music, used with permission.

Saul has been called a fool not because he did something obviously reckless but because, in a moment of fear and pressure, he acted as though God were not there. It is the diagnosis the Psalms give to the fool: in his heart there is no God. It is also, if we are honest, a condition closer to home than we would like to admit. The good news is that 1 Samuel doesn't leave us with Saul. It gives us Jonathan and a completely different way of seeing."Mighty Fortress" by Sovereign Grace Music, used with permission.

Saul is surrounded. A shrinking army behind him, a massive Philistine force bearing down, and one clear instruction from Samuel: wait. But he doesn't wait. What follows is one of the most revealing moments in 1 Samuel, where a king's anxiety strips away everything and exposes what is actually governing his heart. Most of us know what that pressure feels like. Where we look in those moments determines where we end up, and most of us are looking in the wrong direction far more often than we realize."Mighty Fortress" by Sovereign Grace Music, used with permission.

Brandy Lynn Hall was a 32-year-old firefighter and mother of two from Brevard County, Florida, who vanished on the evening of August 17th, 2006, after leaving her volunteer fire station in Malabar. The next day, her prized green pickup truck was found deliberately submerged in a nearby pond with a significant amount of her blood inside but no trace of Brandy herself. As time went on, scattered personal items surfaced miles away, but no body, no clear timeline, and no definitive suspect ever emerged. Despite connections to her husband's recent drug case, a long-term affair with a fellow firefighter, and a series of investigative missteps, Brandy's disappearance remains one of Florida's most mystifying unsolved cases.  Try our coffee! - www.CriminalCoffeeCo.com Become a Patreon member -- > https://www.patreon.com/CrimeWeekly Shop for your Crime Weekly gear here --> https://crimeweeklypodcast.com/shop Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/c/CrimeWeeklyPodcast Website: CrimeWeeklyPodcast.com Instagram: @CrimeWeeklyPod Twitter: @CrimeWeeklyPod Facebook: @CrimeWeeklyPod Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

What does it take to consistently drive revenue growth in private equity in a market where traditional levers are exhausted, buyers are more independent than ever, and go-to-market has become the primary driver of value creation?In this episode, host Linnea Jungnelius sits down with AJ Gandhi, one of the most experienced go-to-market operators in private equity. Having worked across more than 100 companies—from Bain and Alexander Group to Salesforce, RingCentral, and Marlin Equity Partners—AJ has built and scaled commercial engines at every stage of growth.From why go-to-market performance doesn't break, but drifts, to how the best companies dominate their core before expanding, to what separates pipeline activity from real revenue progression, AJ breaks down the systems anddecisions that actually drive growth.For private equity investors, CEOs, and operators, thisconversation reveals what it takes to engineer go-to-market as a system, and why revenue growth is now the most underleveraged (and most critical) lever in value creation.What You'll Learn:• Why go-to-market performance rarely breaks, andhow it quietly drifts over time• Why “dominating the core” is the most overlooked growth strategy• Why marketing is the most underinvested (and misunderstood) function in PE-backed companies• The two go-to-market models emerging in private equity and which one is winning• Why fragmentation is the biggest constraint on growth• How to align go-to-market around systems, not silos, to drive predictable outcomesTimecodes00:34 Guest Intro: AJ Gandhi, Go-To-Market Private Equity Value Creation1:24 Before AJ Sold Anything, He Sold Berkeley3:11 Learning the Science of Sales 11:00 Selling to Skeptical Sales Leaders 15:24 Why You Should Never Hire the Oracle Rep 17:03 Enterprise Selling Lessons From Salesforce 20:41 What Holistic Go-To-Market Actually Means 22:40 The EQ Awakening 23:14 Building GTM From Scratch at Marlin 29:00 Why Go-To-Market Is Now a Valuation Issue 33:54 Why Go-To-Market Drifts Before It Breaks 36:38 The #1 Lever PE Firms Overlook 40:00 STEER and PISTON, Explained 47:33 Peak Performance 48:35 Sources of Inspiration 49:28 Advice for the Next Generation 52:01 Lightning Round: Personal ReflectionsResources:AJ Gandhi: LinkedIn: ⁠ https://www.linkedin.com/in/anjaigandhi/Linnea Jungnelius:LinkedIn: https://⁠www.linkedin.com/in/linneajungnelius ⁠X: ⁠https://x.com/itslinnea⁠Explore the Podcast:Spotify: ⁠ Apple Podcasts: ⁠ Blog: ⁠ Found Value?

What do tattoos, trafficking survivors, and longevity medicine have in common? More than you'd think. In this episode of Science is Skin, board-certified dermatologist Dr. Ted Lain sits down with Dr. Shadi Kourosh — Harvard Medical School professor, public health physician, and director of dermatology at Nantucket Cottage Hospital — for a conversation that spans medicine, advocacy, and cutting-edge science. Dr. Kourosh shares how her work with underserved communities at Massachusetts General Hospital led her to the frontlines of the fight against human trafficking. She breaks down the "Three I's" — infections, injuries, and imagery — the clinical signs dermatologists and healthcare providers should recognize when a patient may be a trafficking victim. She also discusses trauma-informed care, how to create a safe environment for disclosure, and the STEER app (Skin Signs of Trafficking Education Advocacy and Resources), a free tool designed to connect providers and survivors with local resources. In the second half, Dr. Kourosh pivots to longevity medicine — one of dermatology's fastest-growing frontiers — and explains why separating skin science from snake oil has never been more important for patient protection and consumer health. In this episode: How dermatologists can identify skin signs of human trafficking The Three I's framework: infections, injuries, and imagery in trafficking tattoos Trauma-informed care and the "warm handoff" approach for at-risk patients The STEER app and AAD Human Trafficking Toolkit — free resources for providers Laser tattoo removal as a pathway to safety and reintegration for survivors The new science of skin longevity and preventive dermatology Fact vs. fiction in the longevity medicine space Resources mentioned: STEER App (Skin Signs of Trafficking, Education, Advocacy & Resources) AAD Human Trafficking Toolkit: aad.org American Society for Laser Medicine and Surgery (ASLMS) Polaris Project National Human Trafficking Hotline To watch this and other episodes, be sure to check out our YouTube page DISCLAIMER: This podcast is not intended to provide diagnosis, treatment, or medical advice.

Dan Bardell catches up with Aston Villa promotion heroes Jed Steer and James Chester.

Sarah Monroe: Hi. This is Sarah Monroe in Chicago, and I'm a benefits procurement leader. And I'm curious why you think so few executives take proactive bold action in health benefits strategy given the magnitude of opportunity. Stacey: Isn't that a great question? For a full transcript of this episode, click here. If you enjoy this podcast, be sure to subscribe to the free weekly newsletter to be a member of the Relentless Tribe. Okay … so, last week we did an Ask Me Anything episode with Lee Lewis (EP508) where we answered this exact same question Sarah just asked from the standpoint of a CEO (chief executive officer). This week, we're taking the same question but from the standpoint of a CFO (chief finance officer) and/or the finance team writ large. And this week we're going through a very crisp roadmap for how to move forward toward proactive bold action in alignment with said CFO/finance team. This roadmap, though, since we are talking about finance folks here, it does double duty setting up the hardcore why—as in, Why should finance wish to upgrade benefits? Why get away from being kind of complacent and maybe a passive price taker? I mean, consider Step 1 of the roadmap that we're gonna cover here in a moment. Step 1 is to recommend that the finance team set their next-year and out-year forecasts at an accurate, greater than 7.7% trend. You might be able to see how that will get a finance team to find their why pretty quick. Oh, was that a spoiler of what's to come? Why, yes, it was. My guest today, Patrick Nelli, is currently the CEO of Aligned Marketplace, which has a really cool premise based on the power of advanced primary care. Check them out. Patrick Nelli is also a former CFO. So, yeah … you can see why he'd be a really great guest to take us through this roadmap for how folks at a plan sponsor not in finance can align with finance to move forward toward a health plan that works better and costs less. So, without further ado, here's Patrick's roadmap. But, for sure, listen to Patrick explain it. The points that he makes and the details that he brings up are both helpful and also really thought provoking. Step 1: Stop the renewal surprise. Engage with CFO finance teams and take in the advice of John Quinn from episode 493 and Lee Lewis (EP508) from last week. This is an ongoing engagement-type engagement, not a "see ya right before renewal" thing. Step 2: Confront an accurate trend. Set year-over-year trend accurately. As just stated a minute ago, this trend is not CPI (the consumer price index). Trend will be two to three points minimum above CPI, which is gonna be in the 7.7% range or higher for reasons that Patrick will lay out coming up here. When you speak in finance talk like this and forecast these out-years accurately, the why for taking bold action becomes really crystal clear. The status quo is financially untenable. Here's a link, by the way, to a page that Patrick gave me that covers this #2 forecasting step. Step 3: Offer a win-win alternative to the status quo. So, make it clear that this high estimated trend is only accurate if—and this is the important part here—if we stick with the status quo. It is possible to create an actually better plan that is more affordable and better for everybody. I will say this Step 3 is maybe a little bit more fraught than I had previously considered. Go back and listen to the show last week with Lee Lewis (EP508) for more of a deep dive into this Step 3 in the roadmap. Step 4: Lean into proven strategies that have been shown time after time to bend said cost curve and improve the health of employees, such as, again, advanced primary care. How many times does this need to come up? Step 5: Align your incentives and also your safeguards. So, look, if you decide to implement a model like advanced primary care, you gotta ensure that the payment model actually incents the behavior you want to see. You gotta think that through. There is a pachinko machine in the healthcare industry and a pachinko effect of incentives. So, know what they are and then put up safeguards and backstops to prevent unintended consequences if you know that the incentives are, in fact, misaligned. Step 6: Optimize via your contracting, which includes direct contracting. So, once you consider the incentives and figure out what you gotta watch out for, optimize contracts accordingly. And often that means finding ways to direct contract with independent practices such as primary care practices. Listen to that episode from two or three weeks ago with Ryan Jacobs (EP504), which is one half-hour fully getting into what the perverse incentives that just batter the premise of primary care if you don't take them on board. So, that's Step 6 of the roadmap. Optimize contracting, maybe direct contract. Step 7: Steer and tier. Steer and tier, especially for rising risk and/or to make sure employees get the highest value. In other words, risk stratify and disproportionately engage those with rising risk. Steer and tier them to high-value provider organizations. And look, as I said in episode 507, define value and then demand it. Steer and tier away from wildly expensive organizations who may not perform at the level that you're looking for. Is that easy? No. Can you start with, for example, advanced primary care organizations with a clear mandate who to refer to? Yes. This podcast is sponsored by Aventria Health Group.

Psilocybin, ayahuasca, any plant medicine is useless without months of integration work that follows. You will not find yourself using psilocybin by accident—it'll be meant to be.I did psilocybin once a month intentionally by myself. Meditated and stretched entire day. Cleaned house as it wore off. Those mushroom days were probably the hardest days of my life—very hard but powerful. You're always learning, not always healing. Stop chasing spirituality—it'll make you weird, turn you into narcissist. The retard and the wizard connect more than the 67% who know everything. Intimate relationships have caught me—deepest pain, most beautiful. God you steer, I will row, won't complain about the waves. Low frequency Joe could repeat my exact words—you'd feel mine, not theirs.Pain makes you go back to source—it always does, always will. The villain is wolf in sheep's clothing. Pyramid, all-seeing eye—it's illumination, higher frequencies.Listen if you're ready to integrate wisdom into daily life without spiritual bypassing. Water the seeds. Trust me, I'm burning you so the finished polished sword will be pristine.New episodes out every Monday and Thursday at 10 AM Eastern TimeGet The 1.6:1 Ratio System: https://go.justinegliskis.com/?utm_source=podcast&utm_medium=show_notes&utm_campaign=book_funnelEmail: hey@justinegliskis.com to get in contact with meDiscover a podcast designed for entrepreneurs and solopreneurs navigating the challenges of entrepreneurship, offering insights on stress management, health and wellness, and overcoming imposter syndrome, while emphasizing work-life balance, energy alignment, and inner peace; explore topics like burnout recovery, business automation, scaling a business, business growth strategies, client management, mental resilience, overcoming anxiety, and achieving clearer thinking for sustainable success, using the blade of awareness, solving emotional dysfunction and unveiling the trickster within.

Send Jackie A Message!You've been running your studio for years. You survived the startup phase, you survived COVID, and now a competitor just opened down the street. You're still teaching most of the classes. And that teacher training you've been meaning to launch? Still sitting on the back burner.In this episode, Jackie sits down with Rachel, owner of Elevate Coleman—a barre, yoga, and Buti yoga studio in a small Southern town. Rachel found Jackie during COVID recovery, went through the Studio CEO Program, joined the Grow Mastermind, and now works with Jackie one-on-one. She's nearly a decade into her business and still growing.Timestamps:[03:30] From show choir and gymnastics to barre[07:00] Proof of concept before signing a lease[11:20] Opening with a 6-month-old[14:00] The 3 phases of running a studio[20:00] How Rachel found Jackie and decided to invest[27:00] The VIP on-site visit experience[34:00] How Rachel talent-scouts and develops teachers[43:30] The CEO mindset shift — working on the business, not just in itKey Takeaways:✔️ You don't need a perfect manual to launch a teacher training. Version one is the goal.✔️ Proof of concept can start with a notebook, 50 names, and basic math.✔️ Every studio goes through three phases: startup, survival, and stable growth in competition.✔️ Operating in your strengths and hiring for the rest is a CEO-level decision. ✔️ Being around other scaling studio owners shows you what's possible—and what's next.Pull Quotes:"If they were playing baseball, I've been in T-ball.""There's no such thing as a perfect manual. Can you get version one out there now?""My job is CEO first. Teaching supports that.""Steer yourself and your team toward what's going right. Do more of that."FAQ:How do I know if my town is big enough for a boutique fitness studio? It's math, not population. Figure out how many members at what price point covers your rent, then work backwards. Rachel opened in a town with zero boutique fitness and built a nine-year business doing exactly that.Studio CEO Program vs. Grow Mastermind — what's the difference? The Studio CEO Program is where you start—auditing your business and building core systems. The Mastermind is for owners who are already running and ready to focus on leadership, paid ads, and scaling alongside other growth-minded studio owners.Should I launch a teacher training before it's perfect? Yes. There is no perfect manual. What you know from years of teaching is the curriculum. Get version one out, then refine. Waiting means another year of being short-staffed.How do I find good teachers for my studio? Watch your students. Look for people who absorb instruction as a teacher would. Rachel identified one of her best teachers just by observing how she moved through class—then asked her to lunch.What does the CEO mindset shift actually look like for studio owners? It means recognizing that your primary job is to grow the business—and teaching supports that, not the other way around. When teaching starts competing with strategic work, something needs to restructure.How do studios survive when competition moves in? Get specific about who you're for and what result they get.

In this video I reveal 7 cruises I regret taking and now actively avoid — even though many travellers still book them thinking they're getting a great deal. Some of these cruises look incredible in the brochure, others seem like obvious bargains, and a few are even considered "bucket list" sailings. But after experiencing them myself, I discovered why they can lead to disappointment, frustration, or simply poor value for money. In this video I explain: • The cruise that looks like the perfect way to try cruising — but often isn't • The extremely popular cruise many people dream about that didn't live up to expectations • The cruise timing mistake that can ruin an otherwise great itinerary • Why certain new ships and launches can disappoint early passengers • The itinerary issue that can leave you seeing far less than you expected • The booking situation that can quietly change the whole experience onboard • And the weather-related mistake many cruisers make without realising These are lessons I learned the hard way after spending years and a small fortune cruising the world. Hopefully they'll help you avoid making the same costly mistakes.

Most personal injury firms don't collapse because of bad marketing. They collapse under their own weight. As your team grows, every new initiative gets harder to launch. Communication slows down. Silos form. Bureaucracy creeps in. So how do you scale to nearly 300 employees without becoming impossible to steer? David Chamberlin, VP of Marketing and Operations at The Law Offices of James Scott Farrin, shares how he keeps a massive firm moving like a startup—by turning reviews into a growth engine, engineering intake like a sales floor, and applying Lean principles to eliminate waste before it spreads. You'll learn: Why David treats reviews as a critical growth lever—not an afterthought. What a 20-person intake team with dedicated attorneys does to convert higher-value cases. How the intake team aggressively pursues unresponsive leads across phone, text, and email. How Lean reviews every department annually to eliminate waste and silos.

Join us for an exciting discussion all about the world of **jeep** and **offroad** adventures. We dive deep into various aspects of **automotive** care and **car repair** specific to these rugged vehicles. Learn about the latest in **automotive technology** that keeps your ride performing at its best. Join host Tony Muckleroy from the Jeep Talk Show for an in-depth return interview with Jay Voltovan, General Manager of Steer Smarts – the go-to brand for heavy-duty aftermarket steering and suspension upgrades on Jeeps, Ford Broncos, and trucks. In this episode (a follow-up to our August 2024 chat on fixing death wobble), we dive deep into: - How Steer Smarts eliminates death wobble, numb steering, wandering, and insecure highway feel on JL Wranglers, JT Gladiators, and more – even on stock or mildly lifted rigs. - Real-world explanations: What *actually* causes death wobble (harmonics, deflection in factory components like track bars), vs. "wiggles" or shimmy. - Preventative upgrades: Start with the beefy solid-forged track bar + sector shaft brace for massive improvements (~$600-650 budget combo) – then add drag link, tie rod, and stabilizer. - Why Steer Smarts' Yeti XD series linkages (forged in-house, minimal outsourcing, no jam nuts, clamp-style retention) transform ride quality, reduce fatigue, and handle big tires/lifts. - Tony's personal experience: Full Steer Smarts install on his 2021 Jeep Talk Show Gladiator – night-and-day difference, wife-approved confidence, no more babysitting on the highway. - New RōMR Suspension line (launched at SEMA 2025): Fully integrated chassis systems (Trail, Ascent, Summit kits) for JL/JT – 2.5" or 3.5" lift options, tuned for 90% of enthusiasts (daily driving + moderate trails), reduced body roll, firmer/plant feel, pairs perfectly with Steer Smarts steering. - Summit Chassis System: Comprehensive overhaul (sway bars, shocks, springs, geometry corrections, steering reinforcements) – takes the guesswork out. - Tips: Diagnose first (torque checks, bushings), prevention over cure, install yourself or via dealer network, works on stock Jeeps too – not just lifted monsters. - Bonus: Tony's million-dollar ideas (candy cane tie rods? "I Survived Death Wobble" shirts?), social media handles, and tech support (888-8GO-YETI). If you're tired of white-knuckling your Jeep, chasing wobble, or wanting that confident, planted drive – this is for you!

Fantasy Baseball Live – February 8, 2026 @ 1 pm ETSegment 1 – News and Notes1.The Reds sign Eugenio Suarez for a one-year, $15 million contract. He mostly played third base last season, but with future HOFer Ke'Bryan Hayes there, I guess he'll be the full-time DH.a.Thoughts?b.In looking at their lineup, Spencer Steer or Sal Stewart is going to lose playing time. Steer is 28 and is one year removed from a 20-20 season, but with serious concerns about how much he'll hit, and Sal Stewart is a rookie, although he looked great in his debut last season. How does this shake out?2.The Red Sox sign Isiah Kiner-Falefa to a one-year, $6 million contract. Is this just depth or is this a message that Marcelo Mayer needs to hit?a.What happened to Kristian Campbell?3.The Padres sign Miguel Andujar for $1.5 million, and in looking at their roster. Is he going to get enough at-bats at DH to make him a sneaky late-round grab? He's an afterthought in drafts at an ADP of 601.4.The Yankees re-sign Paul Goldschmidt, and in reading details of the signing, the Yankees were not the only suitor. He's far from the player he was, but should I be worried that he could steal at-bats away from Ben Rice?a.If so, do you discount Rice at the draft table?5.Finally, the Tigers had an eventful and expensive week. First they lost their arbitration hearing with Skubal, which cost of them $32 million and they signed Framber Valdez to a big three-year deal.a.I guess if there were worries about them moving Skubal, that appears to be unlikely. Thoughts on Tigers this season?Segment 2 – Fantasy Questions of the AL WestThe Athletics1.Denzel Clarke looks like he will get the first shot at center field. Do you like Clarke or Colby Thomas to get the bulk of the at-bats?a.Does it even matter?2.Outside of Nick Kurtz, which two Athletics are you most interested in rostering?3.We now have data on the first year at Sutter Park in Sacremento and it ranked as the second best ballpark to hit in after Coors Field.a.Luis Severino had a 3.02 ERA away from Sutter and a whopping 6.01 ERA at home. I grabbed him in the 31st round of my NFBC Draft Champions League and was going to do the Home/Away game. Dumb idea?b.The ballpark factor does not bode well for young rookies like Luis Morales and Gage Jump. Thoughts?4.Who gets the saves for A's?5.Give me a sleeper in the organization (minor or majors)Houston Astros1.After a great spring training, Cam Smith wasn't very good. In 134 games, he hit nine home runs and stole eight bases while hitting .236. In Spring Training, he hit .342 with four home runs and 15 games. a.Is this a reminder to ignore spring training stats?b.Also, do you see 2026 as a growth year for Smith? If so, could he become a 15+ home run guy with 10+ stolen bases?2.Yordan Alvarez – Over/Under 400 at-bats?3.Stat line for Tatsuya Imai – IP, K's, ERA and wins – 165, 180K, 3.50 ERA, 10 wins4.Christian Javier was a horse, and then 2024 came, and he had TJS. He struggled in his returns, but the fastball was back and the change-up was as good as ever. He doesn't throw particularly hard, but his xERA was 3.36 last season.a.Any interest?5.Give me a sleeper in the organization (minor or majors)Los Angeles Angels1.Nolan Schanuel – Over/Under 15 home runs?a.Everyone thought he would hit, and while he makes great contact, his low hard-hit rate drives his BABIP down, and he hit .264 with a .263 xBA. How can you start this guy at first base?2.After Zach Neto and Jo Adel, give me two players you are interested in drafting from the Angels and why.3.Reid Detmers' stat line for 2026 – IP, Ks, ERAa.Detmers or Alek Manoah – who would you rather roster?4.Give me a sleeper in the organization (minor or majors)Seattle Mariners1.Cal Raleigh will hit closer to 40 home runs or 60 home runs in 2026.2.Dominic Canzone or Victor Robles – Who would you rather roster and why?3.Which one of Colt Emerson or Kade Anderson do we see in 2026? Or, do we see both?a.I know you're not a big Emerson fan, but I think he's going to be very good when he gets up – hint, I think we see him in the first half4.I can't think of a good pitching question – but, WOW, what a staff?5.Give me a sleeper in the organization (minor or majors)Texas Rangers1.Wyatt Langford – 2026 stat line – HR, SB, Runs, RBIs, and BA2.It's hard to say that Evan Carter is a bust, but so far, he's been a disappointment. He's still going as a number five outfielder – pick #71. Are you going to be one of those managers?3.I don't believe we talked about Josh Jung much last season or even when we did your third base rankings. He actually was somewhat healthy last season – 131 games, but hit 14 home runs and a SLG of .390. What happened?a.Is he of interest to you in upcoming drafts?4.Are you ready to trust Jack Leiter?5.Give me a sleeper in the organization (minor or majors)
