In today’s episode, Marc is joined by one of the Bay Area’s best baseball writers, Melissa Lockard. She works as a staff writer & editor at The Athletic Bay Area where she produces great Giants and A’s content with a particular focus on the organizations’ farm systems. Make sure to follow Melissa on Twitter @melissalockard and if you aren’t already an Athletic subscriber, but have the means, a subscription is highly recommended.

Earlier this week, Lockard published an interview with Giants farm director Kyle Haines that she discusses on the podcast. It includes a number of tidbits on the happenings in Arizona at the instructional league. Haines mentioned a pair of the top 31 prospects in the organization (Sean Roby and Hunter Bishop) as players who have made a particularly strong impression.
