  1. Minor Details Ep. 13: Anthony Rizzo and the merits of being young

    Audio

    06/28/2011

    While it is, in some ways, surprising for Anthony Rizzo to be in the majors at age 21 -- just six months after being traded by the Red Sox to the Padres in the Adrian Gonzalez deal -- in some ways, that development simply represents the continuation of a career-long theme. In this episode of Minor Details, Rizzo discusses what it means to be young and in the majors, as well as the development path that got him to the big leagues ahead of his projected schedule.

  3. Minor Details Ep. 4: Josh Byrnes and Butch Hobson on evaluating prospects

    One can make the case that few things are as important to an organization as an ability to properly evaluate one's own prospects. Overvaluing prospects might lead to missed trade opportunities. Undervaluing a prospect led to the Sox' trade of Jeff Bagwell for Larry Andersen in 1990. Joining this week's episode of Minor Details are former Diamondbacks GM/Sox Assistant GM Josh Byrnes and former Sox player and manager Butch Hobson, who was Jeff Bagwell's manager in New Britain in 1990.
