The Indians are hovering around .500… and in first place. The Royals have won 13 games… and aren’t in last place. So what’s up with the AL Central? Greg and Wayland break down how concerned Cleveland and Minnesota should be about their slow starts. Plus the Ducksnort Boys start a new project: picking favorite and least-favorite players for every franchise in the majors, starting with Wayland’s beloved Chicago Cubs. Then Justin Volman, CEO of the Collegiate Baseball Scouting Network, joins the pod to explain his ambitious goals for changing how MLB teams scout the draft. With thoughts on Edwin Encarnacion, Mark Grace, Byron Buxton, Kerry Wood’s chubby face, Francisco Lindor, Jose Altuve, Mister Cub Ernie Banks, Corey Kluber, Alfonso Soriano, Miguel Cabrera’s rebound, and Slammin’ Sammy Sosa.
