Jose Bautista

Posey's problem but among many problems that Buster Posey has this year um probably having to sort through uh who's gonna take it for is also on the list yeah good good good luck and good luck with all the uh the other higher ones up I'm gonna tie these two things together by the way Canadian prospects and the draft uh let's fast forward July 18th I have you on and I'm like who's top of your board for 2027 how close is Toronto's Brendan Lawson at Florida

Yeah, I have been asked about him, which as far as college baseball goes, is a good signpost.

You know, like Flewelling came on the radar at draft time the other year.

Love him.

But usually it's a lot of what I've done to you, which is like, tell me about the Canadian guys.

I'll get someone and be like, tell me about the Canadian guys.

But Nathan Flewelling, they've got two at high A right now in the Tampa Bay system that are both just absolutely raking.

Petrie?

Well, yeah, Canadian.

I'm sorry.

I meant two catchers, but yes, Amelia and Petrie is, is at that same level with Fluelling friend of the show.

Uh, okay.

So Carter Beck came up on something you do every year.

And this is my last draft question for you before we'll, we'll close it with major league baseball stuff.

If there's time there, there was major league baseball this weekend, but who, who cares compared to teeing up a draft that speaks from now, um, you do this thing every year where it's not necessarily your top prospects, but the guys in D one, you're really excited, uh, to watch.

And I know there's been some good hits on that in the past, like Drake Baldwin, Carter Beck's on there last year.

Um,

What has that exercise been like over five years now?

And who's kind of your favorite guy that's ended up being a relevant prospect or even a major leader, even though that timeline's a little tight now?

Yeah.
