Short and sweet (well, for us), as the show almost didn’t happen due to time constraints. We’ll have plenty of Top 101 prospect talk next week, but for now we take your email, find an expert to talk to us about the Orioles shenanigans in Korea and have our return of the Listener of the Week with death metal legend Stevo. As always, we hope you enjoy.

Not much going on in the world of baseball as teams gear up for spring training, so we read plenty of our listeners fantastic emails, and some not so fantastic, as clearly, some of you still have hangups about sandals and men that wear earrings. Then we do some prospect talk and follow that up with our special guest Dirk Hayhurst, one of the most refreshingly honest players you will ever hear from, and we highly recommend his new book, Out Of My League. Then it’s the goofy stuff, including a talk about Real Genius and how it’s fair game to write about on a baseball site.

As always, we hope you enjoy.
The future of the Giants’ farm system will largely depend upon the team’s most recent draft.
