| 0:09.2 | All coming up next on the Roto Wire Fantasy baseball podcast. I'm Jeff Erickson. He is Fred Zinky. |
| 0:30.8 | As always, our podcasts are brought to you by prize picks and vivid seats. Fred, |
| 0:35.7 | Heston Kirstadt, is the next to get the call for the Orioles as the development train just keeps on chugging down the tracks. It's true. It's like the Orioles have injuries and then they have or slumps and then they get even better. You know, if a player gets hurt, they can call up someone who's even better than said player or I guess potentially better. We shouldn't maybe go that far yet. But Jackson Holiday has reminded us that calling up a top prospect doesn't necessarily make your lineup better. Not right at the right. Exactly right. And there are countless examples of prospects that struggle on their first, second, third taste and still get it. I mean, just look at the Orioles. |
| 1:12.9 | Look at Colton Couser and Jordan Westberg this year. |
| 1:11.3 | Westberg kind of held his own last year, but Couser really struggled. That's right. And like you said, Westberg even wasn't special last year at all. And it's off to this great start.

| 1:46.9 | Kouser highlights, Kyle Stowers, Connor Norby. I mean, you know, it was holiday for a while. It might be holiday again. We'll see about that. But it's just a reminder. So Kyrstad, let's take a look at him himself on the merits here because it's official. |
| 2:02.4 | He's gotten the call. |
| 2:04.3 | He is our number 55 prospect, number 311 dynasty guy. |
| 2:09.9 | He made, he got the call last year. |
| 2:12.1 | And there were, there's some positives and negatives. |
| 2:15.2 | He had only 233 struck out 10 times and 32 plate appearances. |
| 2:18.5 | That's not good. |
| 2:19.6 | But he had two homers there still, still slugged 467. |
| 2:22.8 | And obviously this year in Norfolk, he's hitting 349, 431, 744 as a slug. |
