Thanks for the podcast Josh. Questions for Jim Callis (Monday) or suggested topics. Considering baseball skill “peaks” at 26-28 range and teams appear to stay away (or underpay them) from “old” free agent players. Is there a trend for prospects to be called up at younger age? More importantly, is there an age you would think a prospect could be coming close to be a bust. For example, a prospect is 24 or 25 and still roaming the minors, considering he is close to those so called “peak years”, would you worry at all that he would become a significant contributor in the major leagues?
