In our 92nd episode, Mike Couillard and Jeremy Brewer open by determining how doomed the Baltimore Orioles are before discussing the latest round of MLB injury and call-up news. Then we review seven hitters that required substantial draft capital and have negative values to-date in the Razzball Player Rater to analyze whether they can be cut.
