Welcome to the Roto Wire Prospect Podcast.

I'm your host, James Anderson.

And this week, I am fortunate to be joined by Michael Richards, the 2022 TGFBI overall champion.

Michael's also a prospect analyst over at fan tracks.

He co-hosts the call-up podcast on triple play fantasy. Michael,

thanks so much for joining me today. How are you doing? Hey, James. It's a pleasure to be here with you

today. As I've said before, you're my favorite prospect analyst, and I know I speak for a lot of people

with that. I know firsthand how difficult it is to rank hundreds of players. A lot of lists I can tell they're kind of thrown together. More of this is my favorite players list, but yours consistently stands up to the test. You can take them into drafts. You can use them to make trades. It's a great resource. And I can tell how much thought goes into your update. So basically, I just want to thank you for everything you do for the baseball community. And I'm happy to be here. Oh, well, thank you very much. Um, yeah, I'm just,

just do my best. Um, but that, that means a lot. Um, you do really great work as well. There's,

there's so many good, uh, people and good analysts in this community. So it's a lot of fun.

It's a fun community to be a part of.

What I kind of wanted to do for this episode is sort of, I don't know if battle test is the

right word, but just kind of go through, you know, I've obviously been working on my top 400 update, and I thought we could go through some of the more kind of high profile risers, high profile fallers, some fun kind of would you rather as we kind of move through.

We'll talk about our favorite healthy pitching prospects

who are left in the minor leagues so a lot a lot of fun stuff and hopefully you can kind of

help me flush out some of the issues I'm having with this update to the top 400 rankings

you know I think a lot of people can probably fill in the gaps in terms of what the top

five to top seven or eight is probably going to look like.

You know, you got Jackson Holiday, Union Camerro.

Those are probably going to be my first and second guys on the list.

And then you got guys like Wyatt Langford, Dylan Cruz, from the draft. You obviously

have Jordan Lawler, Jackson Truro hanging around. I think Colt Keith has established himself
