The podcast this week features one of the brightest pitching prospects in the Brewers’ minor league system. Right-hander Jimmy Nelson was nice enough to break down his 2011 season and explain why he is so excited for the 2012 season to begin in just a couple of weeks. Be sure to follow him on Twitter (@Jimmy_J_Nelson), as well.
Ryan and I also discuss the recent five-year contract signed by Jonathan Lucroy, as well as retroactively analyze the trade that sent Brett Lawrie to Toronto.
Here is the complete agenda:
- Introduction
- Shameless Self-Promotion
- Mailbag Questions
- Lucroy Contract
- Lawrie Trade
- Interview w/ Jimmy Nelson
- Dodgers Sold to Magic Johnson
- Closing
