Fun and Informative

This podcast is excellent for fantasy baseball enthusiasts - in season you get 5 weekly podcasts that cover the recent news, injuries, and players to consider adding. The Rotowire hosts and their guests also let you know their varying opinions and let you make up your mind. Thanks to Jeff Erickson, Scott Jenstad, Clay Link, and Todd Zola. James Anderson does an outstanding job on prospects and is an excellent host also.

Great + Bad = Good

The bad: I’d rather the feed go back to having no weekend shows than deal with Chris Crawford for another season.
The great: Other than that, arguably the best set of fantasy baseball voices aggregated in one place every week between Erickson, Zinkie, Anderson, Zola, Link and Jenstad.

Ooze of Negativity

Negative Jeffy strikes again!! Why are you such an “Ugh” guy!? When you were a kid and you went to Disney World with your parents were you always “ugh what’s next?” Cheer up buttercup!
