Welcome to the Boc Talk podcast on NBC Sports Bay Area.com.

Introducing your host, NBC Sports Bay Area's Jessica Kleinschmidt.

Welcome back to Bok Talk presented by Wendy's.

New to the Wendy's two for five dollars lineup is our

classic chicken sandwich, the perfect balance of crispy and juicy. Price and participation may vary

limited time only. That said, today I'm joined by A's top prospect, Dalton, Jeffries, Dalton.

Thanks for joining me today. Thank you for having me, Jessica. It's good to be here.

So speaking of being called a

prospect, this is actually, I talked to Sean Murphy. Guy has, I call it daddy power at the plate,

but the guy is just phenomenal. And you obviously, he's a catcher. But I'm curious,

when you're called a prospect and you're put on these prospect lists, Sean gave me this money

quote saying, the people who write the prospect

list don't write the lineups. So do you pay attention to some of these prospect lists at all? Or do you kind of

just do what you need to do? No, I think you, I think Sean kind of hit the nail on the head there.

That's a very good quote, by the way. Oh, it's so good. Oh, I know. It's so good.

Yeah. It's like I can't compare to that. Keep going. No, I mean, I just, I kind of just take over the

grain of salt. I don't really pay attention to a lot of it. Um, well, especially with the guys coming up

when you first get drafted, I think you're kind of automatically on one of those lists. Right. And then, so I mean, even when you haven't really played,

so I guess it doesn't, it means a little bit, right,

but it doesn't mean much until you, until you kind of, you know,

go through some baseball seasons, I guess.

Yeah, I mean, just keep putting your work in.
