This is extra footage from "Playing for Peanuts" - a documentary TV series about minor league baseball.

Pearlman recently wrote that Angel Pagan was a 4th OFer and Jon Niese was another Joe Price. Was Pearlman actually watching Pagan and Niese play/pitch in 2010? Very irresponsible journalism, IMO.
