Hey everyone...we'd like to thank all of you who tuned into the show in the past, and thank you even further for your patience during the broadcasting break we had. We realize it is short notice, but due to scheduling constraints for all parties involved the start-up episode (Season 2 if you will) will be scheduled for tomorrow, Wednesday, July 18 at 3 PM EST.

Tomorrow afternoon we welcome on the Executive Editor of Baseball America, Jim Callis. Baseball America is widely considered the go-to resource for all information pertaining to the game, from the amateur level all the way up to the Major Leagues. Jim is arguably the preeminent expert on all things related to the MLB draft and minor league prospects in the entire country, and will be sharing his enormous wealth of knowledge with us tomorrow afternoon.

If anyone has any specific questions or topics they'd like to discuss with Jim, please let us know here and we will incorporate everything to the best of our abilities. If not, please don't hesitate to join us via the link below, and enjoy the show!

Just as a side note, Jim is a proud graduate of the University of Georgia and has worked for Baseball America since 1988...spending every year of his professional career with the organization except 1997-2000, when he moved to Chicago to work for STATS, Inc. He is also very active on Twitter, and for those who are on Twitter and would like to follow him, his handle is @JimCallisBA.
JH, good to see you and Dan coming back to the airwaves. Congrats on getting Jim to come on the show...pretty big fish. Smile

I'd be interested to hear Jim's take on a few topics...

1. What's his take on how the new draft rules played out this year? Who were the winners, losers and did the changes hit its intended mark?

2. With the restrictions on over slot deals does he feel more HS players will go to college first than in years past?

3. If he had a blue chip HS player that was drafted in the first 5 rounds, would he push his player to go pro or to college first?

OH yeah, does he think Penn State should get the death penalty (haven't seen many opionions on that topic lately Wink)

Looking forward to the show.
