Coach & Kernan Episode 36 Man on 2nd Podcast(1) with host Joe Frisaro and special guest long time Marlins scout Stan Meek


In his Coach & Kernan Podcast Network debut 19 MLB.com year veteran Joe Frisaro entertains long time baseball man and draft expert Stan Meek. Meek takes us through the difficult decision between between Josh Hamilton & Josh Beckett in 1999 during his time with the Rays. He brings us up to 2022 and takes us through the same process that had scouts deliberating between top picks Holiday and Jones. In between we get in depth analysis and narrative chronicling his time scouting for the Marlins and drafting MLB All-Stars Yellich, Stanton, Realmuto, Willis, Hanley, and Willis. Along the way we get tremendous insight on topics like drafting a high school player vs a college player, where you get your best return ... draft or free agency, and the value of the PG Jupiter event. Meek is a true treasure- hangon until the end to hear the story of how JT Realmuto got drafted as a C and his opinion on multiple sport athletes (with a great example using Giancarlo Stanton)
