| 0:00.0 | Hello, friends and welcome in to Rates and barrels right here on the Athletic. |

The draft guide, if you're set for your drafts maybe this weekend, this upcoming weekend, or the next, whether you want to get all the incredible stuff that Eno's got, my dynasty ranks, and a gajillion things more, go to the to the athletic.com slash rates and barrels and get |
| 0:38.2 | hooked up. Mr. Enosaurus is with me. I am Chris Welsh. Eno, what's up, my friend? We a little |
| 0:43.2 | bit more rested in a bed that you didn't have to piecemeal a blanket. Yeah. Yeah. I'm freshly shaven. |
| 0:50.6 | I slept on my own bed. Things are better. Just wish it hadn't been the time change. |
| 0:56.2 | The youngest had a heck of the time with this morning. |
| 1:00.1 | Let's just say he was not having it. |
| 1:03.5 | By it, I mean everything. |
| 1:06.2 | Life. |
| 1:06.2 | I have the weird, and you all are going to're all going to be in the same space here come November |
| 1:13.5 | when time change is gone. It'll be gone. I don't know if everybody realizes that November will be |
| 1:18.0 | the last time. I believe time will change and then it will be stuck there. But in Arizona, |
| 1:23.8 | if everyone doesn't know it, Arizona does not acknowledge time change. So we never changed. I've never changed my clock. So I'm originally from California for 20 plus years. I haven't done it. And what we changed time zones. So it's actually worse for me, you know, because like I have to make sure because everybody in the world in podcasting speaks on Eastern standard time. Luckily, you happen to be Pacific, so it helps me out. But everybody speaks on Eastern times. So I have to be aware of my two or my three hours away from Eastern where you guys all change your clocks. It's Arizona and Hawaii that don't acknowledge time change. So it is a weird time and it kind of screws everybody up in different ways. You guys were leaders in this. I mean, you can call it that. Arizona is something. |
| 2:07.1 | There's something. They're leaders in offseason baseball and spring baseball. They're a mecca as everybody. |
| 2:12.0 | That's actually a big word I've been hearing out here in Arizona right now. We have lots of people |
| 2:16.2 | that have been coming in for the WBC, |
| 2:18.5 | which has created huge bigger crowds than ever. And everyone kind of talks and they're just like, |
| 2:22.4 | this is a mecca and you're coming off of Florida, which maybe they're not saying the exact same |
| 2:27.0 | things, but especially with their hotel accommodations. But there's a lot big more travel in |
| 2:32.1 | Florida, Arizona. There's not, we're actually going to talk about one of those things here in a bit. We also are getting into prospects today, and we're going to be talking about 10 prospects that you need to know for redraft, but it's a little bit of a wrinkle because this isn't Jordan Walker, this isn't Corbyn Carroll. These are guys that might not have 40 man rosters set. These are guys that don't have open positions. |
| 2:53.0 | They also happen to be guys that have not been sent down in the minor leagues. |
| 2:56.0 | So what it does is it opens up this intriguing idea of can they mysteriously break camp |
