"How Funny Would It Be If Embiid Came Into The Season At 300 Pounds?" (PST Show #470)

The Philadelphia Phillies have seen some interesting aspects of their farm system developing and contributing as of late. This week, we asked the question: will the Phillies farm system actually make some contributions this year for the big club? Mike Ventola, broadcaster and digital media personality for the Phils' Triple-A affiliate, the Lehigh Valley IronPigs, joined us for an in-depth discussion.But first, we dove into this Sixers offseason since the draft and whether or not we should be giving high grades to Daryl Morey for the moves he's recently made? (approx. 3:30)From there, we had an interesting discussion and ranked the NFC East quarterbacks as the NFL season is almost upon us. Where does Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts fall on our list? (approx. 18:10)Then we discussed how this Phillies team has been improving, yet still needing another starting pitcher in the rotation as the trade deadline is just a few weeks away. (approx. 27:10)What we threw down on the Table this week was a fun discussion Mike Ventola from the Lehigh Valley IronPigs about whether farm system pieces can help the Phillies this year. What can Darick Hall actually give this Phillies club? Is there a centerfielder that could be brought up in the future? Are we beginning to see positive, structural changes in the minors with the revamping of the development staff? All of this and much more this week on the Table!
