Pipeline Podcast: Polling the execs; Sasaki sweepstakes update

12:05 AM UTC

If it's a new year, it's time for Jonathan Mayo's annual MLB Pipeline poll surveying dozens of front-office executives about several prospect-related topics.

So naturally, Mayo, Jim Callis and Jason Ratliff spent the majority of the latest Pipeline Podcast poring over the results: Rookie of the Year candidates, the best prospects in a variety of categories, the top individual tools in the Minors and which farm systems do the best in various areas.

MLB Pipeline Executives poll:
Part 1: Rookie of the Year
Part 2: Top prospects
Part 3: Top tools
• Part 4: Farm systems

Afterward, Callis and Mayo draft the most likely destinations for Japanese pitching sensation Roki Sasaki and answer not one but two questions from the listener mailbag.
