Fred Zinkie and Jeff Erickson try to find 2024 comps to the 2023 First Half / Second Half heroes and bums. Who is this year's Julio Rodriguez Who will be the young slugger that figures it out, like Tristan Casas was last season? --- 00:00 - First Half / Second Half Podcast 01:30 - Who is this year’s Tristan Casas? A young slugger who has a blah first half and then breaks out in second half. 02:10 - Micheal Busch. He was always powerful in the Minors (59 HR in 2022-23).

An underwhelming star who gets on track in the second half. 08:20 - Alternate - Pete Alonso. His HR/FB% is a career low. Average exit velocity if down, but only slightly. Warm weather, Mets hanging around in the race….I’ll say that he hits more than 20 HR after the ASB. 14:45 - Who will be this year’s Cal Raleigh? A catcher who becomes a game-chang
