There's a lot happening in the world of the Phillies farm system from Single-A up to Triple-A. After having to endure a rough Phillies season, yet again, we can look to the Lehigh Valley IronPigs to give us Phillies fans some salvation. The prospects and team are looking fantastic on the field this season, and that's why we brought Kurt Landes, IronPigs President and General Manager, onboard for an interview this week.
But first, the Brief News & Views segment:
1. Our take on Mike Schmidt's comments about Odubel Herrera. (6:00)
2. Phillies pitcher Cameron Rupp has been struggling. (13:45)
3. The Flyers hire Kris Knoblauch as their assistant coach. (19:50)
4. Colangelo is open to trading the Sixers' No. 3 overall pick. (26:20)
5. TAKE IT or LEAVE IT: The Eagles should sign Jeremy Maclin. (33:20)
Our Listener Feedback this week focused on responses from our show last week as we discussed, at length, which team is going to bring Philly its next championship. (36:50)
And then what we're throwing down on the Table this week is an in-depth interview with Kurt Landes from the Lehigh Valley IronPigs front office. Not only does Kurt analyze some of the prospects we're seeing on the Triple-A level, but he also dives into the business components of running a Triple-A affiliate team. J.P. Crawford, the bullpen, and the IronPigs successful season are all topics Kurt discussed with us this week. If you're a Phillies and farm system fan, it's a great interview you won't want to miss.
