Young discussed the steroid era and its impact on potential Hall of Famers, and he also chatted about Mitch Moreland and Elvis Andrus and what he expects out of them this year.

Toward the end of the podcast, though, Young was asked about which Rangers prospect folks should be excited about this season:

Young: "I'm looking forward to people seeing Nomar Mazara. This guy can flat-out hit. I mean, I'm talking -- not just hit -- I'm talking impact, big-time run producer in the game. Great kid. Has the ability to be a clubhouse leader, a big positive-impact guy. Man, he's a stud. I can't wait for people to see him."

Grant: "Could we see him in the big leagues at some point this year?"

Young: "Absolutely. No question about that. Now, it's a matter of fit. Like you said, we do have some left-handed bats. We have Delino (DeShields), who is a fantastic young player. What if (Shin-Soo) Choo is out there doing his thing like he did in the second half and Josh (Hamilton) is playing like a healthy Josh can do, now it's a matter of fit. But ability wise, and I'm sure production wise, he'll be banging down the door.

Grant: "If the opportunity arises, he'll be able to step in and produce a ta major league level?"

Young: "Sure and he'll be one of those guys who would give the organization every problem that they would love to have, forcing a team to make a decision. He's going to be that type of guy. He's going to come up here, have success, and all right, what do we do? And every team loves to have that type of problem."
