April 7, 2011 BP PodcastEpisode 44: The Best Smelling Gas StationIt's Minor League opening day, so we celebrate by talking prospects. First we go through the mailbag, of course, but then Jason and I talk about debuts and breakouts to watch, while I wrap up my weekend in Kansas City for the Royals Futures Game. Our special guest is just that, as Oakland Athletics farm director Keith Lieppman joins us to talk about the ins and outs of the job, including choosing assignments, developing pitchers and dealing with grease fires. Then it's the goofy stuff including a pair of must-watch documentaries available on Netflix instant streaming. As always, we hope you enjoy. Note: We do alert you to the presence of the occasional adult language and subject matter. Don't say we didn't warn you. Up And In Episode 44: "The Best Smelling Gas Station"
