BBTN: King Felix in Atlanta, Gerrit Cole looks like Gerrit Cole and how Barry Bonds blew it

The Braves are taking a flyer on Felix Hernandez, while Gerrit Cole is looking like Gerrit Cole. Buster talks to David Schoenfield about all of that (3:29), plus, the Rays' experimenting with a four-man outfield, Blake Snell returning, the impact of coronavirus on baseball coverage and Barry Bonds' comments on MLB giving him a "death sentence." Later, Todd Radom hops on to discuss Nationals Park for to deliver the weekly quiz (25:26).

Following a conference call with all 30 Clubs regarding the recent coronavirus cases around the world, MLB issued the following statement regarding limiting media access immediately:

Rough outing for 2018 Cy Young winner Blake Snell in his second spring outing -- and first after getting a cortisone shot in his elbow in late February. He walked four batters in the first inning while getting just one out, throwing 6 of 22 pitches for strikes, although hitting 96-98 mph. He told me Sunday that he feels great and at least the velocity was fine in this start, but he's obviously behind the curve now in getting ready for the start of the season.

David Schoenfield ESPN Senior Writer 

Tyler Glasnow was basically a two-pitch pitcher in 2019, throwing his four-seamer 67.2% of the time, his curveball 29.3% and his changeup just 3.5%. He's working on the changeup this spring to give him a third weapon as well as a new splitter, although he says the splitter isn't yet game ready. After posting a 1.78 ERA last year in 12 starts, imagine what he might do with a strong third pitch.

The Rays just turned a triple play against the Braves. Wander Franco, playing shortstop, made a diving grab on the right side of second base with runners at first and second, threw to first for the second out and then they went back to second base for the third out. Now let's see if the kid can hit.

The Rays are experimenting with some 4-man outfields today against the Braves. Against Ozzie Albies with two outs and a runner on first, they have four outfielders AND a shift, so the left side is entirely open. Albies pulled back on a first-pitch bunt and eventually struck out against Joe Ryan.

BBTN: Kiley McDaniel discusses his top 100 prospects for 2020

Kiley McDaniel's top 100 prospects for 2020 is out. He and Buster dive into the list (1:54), discussing how analytics has factored into generating the rankings, when Wander Franco might manifest in the big leagues, why he's bullish on Julio Rodriguez and if the Padres' young talent will manifest fast enough to satisfy ownership. Later, Hembo hops on to talk about Yoan Moncada and the White Sox's rebuild, Christian Yelich's team-friendly extension, and why Brian Cashman deserves more credit for finding value to fill out the roster (21:53).
