    Before continuing their division-by-division look at one intriguing prospect per organization (in the American League West), Jim Callis, Sam Dykstra and Jason Ratliff discuss the slew of blue-chip prospects who are ready for the call to The Show, including Nos. 1 and 2 overall: Red Sox outfielder Roman Anthony and Pirates right-hander Bubba Chandler. Sam then does a deep dive into the best pitches in Triple-A (a mix of famous arms like Chandler and Brewers righty Jacob Misiorowsi as well as some lesser-known names), and the guys wrap up the episode by discussing the importance of college conference tournaments for the Draft and by fielding a listener mailbag question about emerging prospects Mike Sirota (Dodgers) and Rainiel Rodriguez (Cardinals).

    The MLB Pipeline Podcast's division-by-division look at the game's prospects continued this week in the American League Central.
