  • Mixed!

    Lots of great content here; Erikson, Zinkie (ZINKIE PLEASE STOP TYPING IN PODCASTS - ITS SO IRRITATING) and James Anderson are consistently engaging and provide perspectives and data that make me a stronger fantasy baseball player. However Clay Link and Todd Zola are podcast valium and need to be put out to pasture asap.

  • Good info, bad production

    These guys know a lot about baseball, but they don’t know anything about producing a podcast. The volume balance between the guys speaking is terrible. I have to turn the volume all the way down when the host is speaking and I have to turn it all the way up when is guest is speaking. Come on guys get it together.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

What 25 Days Can Tell Us with Mike Couillard
Q: What stood out in the first 25 days of the season?
The hosts identify early leaders like Alvarez, Judge, and Walker and discuss how power, exit velocity, and playing time influenced those initial numbers, using it to project for next year.
Sophomore ADP for 2027 w/ Jake Halusker
Q: What do you think about Payton Tolle this year?
Picks are aggressive but justifiable given his upside, with emphasis on left-handed pitchers and youth, and the rationale that other pitchers around him have questions, making Tolle a reasonable early-ace option for some builds.
Sophomore ADP for 2027 w/ Jake Halusker
Q: But first, Jake, how are you doing, man?
Jake responds that he's great and appreciative, noting the industry content and the community, before getting into discussion on the sophomore ADP.
What Makes a Bust with Dave McDonald
Q: Should Aaron Judge have been considered a higher-risk pick given age and injury history?
Judge was viewed as a risk due to age and a known injury track record, but his durability in recent seasons tempered some concerns; ultimately, the combination of missed time and declining plate appearances pushed him into a higher-risk category and into bust territory for this season.
What Makes a Bust with Dave McDonald
Q: Were there signs that Gunnar Henderson might be a bust headed into draft season?
Not strongly; Henderson had shown power and speed upside and was only 25, but concerns centered on power production decline and performance versus lefties, which combined with his age and durable profile made him a risk that some managers anticipated but many did not fully price in.
