Episode notes

- Draft Chase Burns cautiously despite upside; spring weirdness and competition for rotation spots lower his immediate reliability.
- Frank and Scott want Burns to slide in ADP closer to Cam Schlitter before committing.

- Scott points to Senga's comments about remaking mechanics and recent five-perfect innings as validation.
