2025 Prospect Sleepers w/James Anderson

James Anderson of RotoWire joins DVR to discuss a few news items from the weekend including Mookie Betts' absence from the Japan Series and the playing time outlook for Andy Pages, an early-season IL trip for Royce Lewis, and another pitching injury to watch coming out of Yankees camp. Plus, they discuss several under-the-radar prospects capable of making an impact in 2025 -- including one of James' favorites climbing the organizational depth chart in Minnesota -- an ETA for Chandler Simpson, and keeping an open mind about pitching development for non-elite prospects.Rundown1:57 Mookie Betts' Japan Series Absence; Andy Pages' 2025 PT Outlook7:04 Royce Lewis: Will Begin Season On the IL12:57 Clarke Schmidt: Should Be Ready for Regular Season15:40 Balancing Ceiling with Proximity in Top 100 Rankings22:07 Which Prospect Hitters Could Make a Surprisingly Large Impact in 2025?38:56 Chandler Simpson's ETA45:14 Which Prospect Pitchers Could Make a Surprisingly Large Impact in 2025?1:01:42 A Few Pitching Stashes for 2026?Follow James on Bluesky: @[email protected] DVR on Bluesky: @dvr.bsky.socialFollow Eno on Bluesky: @enosarris.bsky.sociale-mail: [email protected] our Discord: https://discord.gg/FyBa9f3wFeSubscribe to The Athletic: theathletic.com/ratesandbarrelsHosts: Derek VanRiperWith: James AndersonProducer: Brian SmithExecutive Producer: Derek VanRiper Hosted on Acast.
