There R Giants Pod-77 with Dennis Pelfrey

Richmond Flying Squirrels Manager Dennis Pelfrey (coming off of last season’s championship in Eugene) joins me to talk about spring training camp, the advantages of coming from an Indy ball background, the resources available for player development today — and, of course, we talk about some of the players as well! You’ll be into the spring mood by the time you finish this one!

I’ll be heading to Scottsdale next week so I’ll have much more minor league camp content to share in the coming days. So now is a great time to become a There R Giants subscriber if you’re not already. Once the season starts, I’ll bring coverage of the entire Giants’ minor league system five days a week.
