Podcast 9: "Ian Snell's Legacy." Featuring Interviews With Jerry Crasnick & Jonah Keri
Matt was unavailable this week, and he was greatly missed. However, we were able to get Mike Petriello of Mike Scioscias Tragic Illness and Baseball Prospectus to take his place.
Also, we have a bit of great news. The Podcast is finally in the iTunes Music Store! You can access it by simply searching "Beyond the Box Score" or something related to the podcast. You can also find it on the iTunes website by clicking here.
This week's special guests:
Jerry Crasnick of ESPN & Baseball America
We needed a National Reporter to talk scoops with us and clarify any uncertainty as to whether or not a reporter deserves full credit for scooping a deal. We also talked about the definition of a scoop itself. Along with that, we talked about reporters in general and the great sport of baseball as well.
Jonah Keri of Fangraphs & The Wall Street Journal
In light of his new book, The Extra 2%, we talked to Jonah about his passion for writing, the teams he likes writing about, the book itself, and much more. It was great fun.

Harper's option years
Shouldn’t Harper have four options since he was signed before 19 years of age?
Nope
I’m pretty sure every player has 3 after signing a MLB deal

Age isn't the issue
The fourth option exists for players who have been optioned three times in their first five pro seasons. It pretty much only applies to players who signed MLB deals.
