Hot Sheet: AL West Top Prospects

Baseball America's JJ Cooper, Geoff Pontes and Scott Braun profile each top prospect in the AL West. First up is Texas Rangers top prospect Kumar Rocker. The hosts debate how Rocker can complement his devastating breaking ball. (Top of show) (9:09) The hosts discuss if Angels top prospect Caden Dana needs more minor league seasoning, and how close Christian Moore came to the team's top spot. (18:49) Cam Smith was the big prize in the Kyle Tucker trade, and offensively he's already showing his upside with Houston in Spring Training. (30:48) Mariners top prospect Colt Emerson reminds JJ & Geoff of some big names in baseball. Can he and Seattle's other top prospects reach the Bigs in time to gel with the team's dominant starting staff? (42:26) Athletics #1 prospect Nick Kurtz could soon be mashing in the middle of an up and coming lineup. Hot Sheet airs weekly at 3:30 ET Monday on the Baseball America YouTube channel.
