Three Strikes (4:30)

• After a week off, there's a lot to catch up on in this edition of the podcast. Tyler and Sam start by breaking down the winners of this year's MiLBY Award winners in Strike One.
• The Arizona Fall League has continued apace since the last episode of the show, so the guys chime in with some of the players who have stood out, including Fall Stars Game MVP Willie Calhoun.
• Finally, you may have heard the Cubs defeated the Indians in seven games to capture their first World Series since 1908. With that in mind, the two co-hosts rummage through the club's farm system to see if there's any major prospects who have a chance to crack Chicago's already young and settled foundation.
