Hey guys, welcome to the Bill Barnwell show. I am Bill Barnwell. Today, we're going to do a

0:12.4

draft mailbag answering your questions. But first, I wanted to tell you about another podcast,

0:18.2

which is the Baseball Tonight podcast with Buster Only.

0:22.5

Three days a week, you get Buster Only is one of the best in the business, plus great guests like Mike Trout, top managers like Dave Roberts,

0:30.2

and the insights of general managers like Brian Cashman, along with regulars such as Tim Kirkton, Jeff Passon, Sarah Lang, and Carl Ravich.
