This week they talk: * Corrections - Henry corrects his shameful knowledge about the place where his new team - the Rays - are based. Jon adds some nuggets about Oakland. * The Draft - Do you know anything about the draft? We don't. We've decided to build our own Draft Team who we will follow throughout the season.
