AN Podcast Ep. 8: Oakland A's top prospects shine early on in Cactus League

Welcome to the Athletics Nation Podcast! Tune out the rest of the world for half an hour while Phil Naessens and I take you through the world of Oakland A's baseball.

The Cactus League has begun, and with it comes a lot of info and stats that should be ignored. Rich Hill's rocky first outing? Ignore it. A blown save by some low-minors pitchers? Fuhgeddaboutit. But top prospects like Franklin Barreto and Matt Chapman getting off to hot starts? Much less guys who are close to MLB, like Sean Manaea? That's worth paying attention to, even if only to put some faces to the names we've been talking about for months.

Which prospect are you most excited to see (or at least, see in the box score) this spring?
