Episode notes
Infield Invitees Mainly Depth, Not Starters
- Several infield invitees are organizational depth pieces rather than immediate starters.
- Players like Bryce Eldridge and corner prospects may be fast-tracked but the big-league infield remains set today.
Bo Davidson's Fast Track
- Bo Davison's standing as the top non-roster prospect stood out; Baseball America and MLB Pipeline have him high on their lists.
- Alex said Davisons can push for big-league time this year if development continues at Double-A and in camp.
Monitor Early Bullpen Workouts Closely
- Watch early camp bullpen results closely to predict who could make the Opening Day roster.
- Expect one non-roster pitcher to seize a bullpen spot due to injuries, performance, or fresh coaching perspectives.
