On this week’s pod, I have a sort of hybrid for you from my spring training trip to Scottsdale. First, I’m flying solo, talking about the players that have jumped out at me during my time at Papago Park the past week or so. It’s been a fun trip, with a lot of bats really standing out in my looks.And then in the second half of the program (20:45 mark), I have a short interview with Gavin Kilen, whom I was able to talk to for a few minutes before last week’s Spring Breakout game.

Giants’ Senior Director of Amateur Scouting, Michael Holmes is my guest this week. With the college season just about to get underway, this seemed like a great time to talk with Michael about the impending search for a star at the #4 position in the draft. Given how much changes in the course of the spring, this seemed like a good time to talk process with Holmes: how does the team marshal it’s resources? How big of a net do you cast when drafting high up in the first round? When does the winnowing

I’m not sure exactly why, but it appears that the post for today’s podcast went out with no media attached to it, so there’s nothing to listen to when you try to play it. It sounded great on my side of the curtain before it went out over the interwebs, so I’m not entirely sure how to fix things other than to re-create a new one, send it out once more, and hope for better!As the Winter Meetings get started in Orlando, FL, I’m joined by Giants’ beat reporter, Maria Guardado of MLB.com, to talk about
