SPPod #191 - Tankathon Update

With the possibility of a top-five pick riding on the last few weeks of the season, we have a reason to pay attention to games as the season winds down. Ian breaks down how much of a difference a high draft pick means towards overall bonus pool. And speaking of reasons to pay attention, Tanner Houck is expected to make his big-league debut on September 15. Ian gives us a full scouting report for the righthander, who we have ranked number 10 in the system. Next up the guys discuss MLB's approval of fall instructs. We also share an update on the negotiations between Major League Baseball and Minor League Baseball. And we hand the show over to you to close it out with more of your terrific emails and messages. 0:00 - Intros, housekeeping, email us and remember to check us out on Patreon 3:00 - 2021 Draft watch 12:45 - Tanner Houck MLB debut preview 29:45 - MLB approves fall instructional camps 35:00 - MLB/MiLB negotiation update 45:45 - Mailbag Players Mentioned Tanner Houck  Bobby Dalbec  Kyle Hart  Jarren Duran  Jon Lester  We also want to thank our in-residence musical guest, The Ludlow Thieves.
