August 18, 2010 BP PodcastEpisode 13: Until Small Wonder Shows UpI know we say this often, but in listening back through the editing process, this might be my favorite episode ever -- it just had that vibe. Our special guest is Jim Callis, the Executive Editor of Baseball America, who gives us nearly an hour to discuss what happened on Monday's draft signing deadline, as well as speculating on the future of the draft. It's a fascinating discussion filled with insight and information that you may not of heard before. Before than, Jason and I talk about the concept of being over-matched, as well as what minor league numbers can and can not mean when projecting future performance. Of course, we end with hijinks, including a discussion of my morning television adventures and we actually prepared a recipe sent in by a listener. As always, we hope you enjoy, and we've been absolutely flattered by all the great emails we get, so keep 'em coming. Note: We do alert you to the presence of the occasional adult language. Don't say we didn't warn you. Up And In Episode 13: "Until Small Wonder Shows Up"

I have no scale of knowing what Jason might be going through in his personal life right now, nor are the details of any one's business but whoever he chooses to confide with, but I'm pulling for him; we all are.
