Keep or Kut – It’s the Third Annual Pitcher List Podcast Network Post-350 ADP Mock Draft! After Pete (@PeteBBaseball) and Chad (@chadyoung) joined On The Wire and In The Deep to discuss interesting names with late ADP, this year Keep or Kut got to host. Adam Howe (@eightygrade) from On the Wire and Jordan White (@buntsingles) and Chris Weber (@shwebsi) of In the Deep joined us for a draft, with each pod picking a C, CI, MI, OF, 2 SP and 2 RP, all with ADP later than 350. Get ready for more than 100 minutes and more than 24 names you can look at late in drafts, many with long-term keeper potential.
