Connor and Joe also go Down on the Farm to check in on the literal ups and downs of Christian Scott, and the recent promotion of top prospect A.J. Ewing to Triple-A Syracuse. The show wraps up with a Mailbag to answer questions about lack of hitting development, signing veterans to short-term deals, and a fun but also sad scenario for first base.
