Podcast episode 2016: Feeling a draft

Recapping the Dodgers’ 2020 draft

By Eric Stephen and Jacob Burch Jun 27, 2020, 6:34am PDT

After playing catch up last week on other items, we recap the 2020 MLB Draft for the Dodgers, which to date has featured three players signing with three more pending.

In addition to the pitcher-heavy draft for the Dodgers, we look at what appear to be the final stages of determining the 2020 MLB schedule, and what that might mean for the next month or so.

With a baby on the way at the Burch household, we’re taking next week off.

Dodgers rewind

This week we look back at Ed Goodson, a corner man for the Dodgers in 1976-77, and who was used so often as a pinch-hitter in his two years in Los Angeles that he had more plate appearances in that role than Manny Mota.

Goodson is also one of two players to make the majors drafted out of East Tennessee State, the college of Landon Knack, the Dodgers’ second-round pick this season.
