Customer Reviews
Excellent pod
I listen to quite a few and this is my favorite fantasy BB podcast. Highly recommended!
I don’t listen to most of the episodes
I only listen to the episodes when the guy who talks prospects is hosting or Ryan Boyer is on.
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.
