## Resource

It’s a So You Wanna Talk to Samson Wednesday! Someone asked me about the 2012 Marlins and what went wrong with that team. (19:43) Does signing these new longterm rookie deals put an end to service time manipulation? (25:17) What do you think of the handling of Bryce Eldridge by the Giants? (34:00) Do players care about surgery when they’re chasing velocity or are they way more focused in making money? Coca makes a mistake so now I have to answer another question! This is about helping prospects get housing when they get called up. -- what a mess the end of the show was, sorry! Technology problems! Learn more about your ad choices.
