    apparently pivoting to video
    doing videos now, i guess. no thanks. 🙄
  • Kd174
    Must listen to for serious players
    Great analysis not only on players but overall team strategy. Eric and Scott know their stuff
  • popo-notthecoach
    Great fantasy baseball Podcast!
    A “don’t miss” podcast for fantasy baseball news and information.
  • Estone2112
    Mixed Bag
    I don’t say this to be harsh or mean- pleas take the criticism as constrictive. Eric S. needs some work. We can barely hear what he says, he puts the listener to sleep and his analysis is kinda simplistic. Scott bails him out of bad takes regularly. Maybe he’s new to this and will improve. He seems like a decent guy who loves baseball.
  • rotochamp81
    Good show
    Good show, but 60 second timer is super distracting. If you keep the bit, use a quieter tick, tick, tick. I promise I am not alone. Great content and informative.
  • j911991
    Great show.
    Informative Guys haven’t missed an episode in Awhile
  • BradyD 86
    Great Podcast
    I love the facts it gives me and I encourage you to listen.

    A go to for me
    Excellent information and the guys make it a enjoyable listen every time.
  • UptownCake
    Rest of Season Rankings - loved today’s guests!
    Thanks for bringing on the new talent today! Excited to have a new podcast to listen to.
  • S-Dot Walnuts
    The Best in the game, it’s a shame you don’t know.
    I love this podcast and it’s diverse cast. I listen everyday. The advice is excellent. All of the hosts offer insight that will no doubt help your fantasy team. It’s so helpful that I DO NOT share it with my friends and league mates. I don’t want them to know what I know. I’m in New Jersey and I have no clue what Provell cheese is, but I am ready to be daring and try the infamous St Louis style Pizza.
  • outofmarketpodcastlistener
    Excellent, but....
    Lots of information. Well thought out and generally concise points on player performance and their future lineup opportunities, etc. But, are there any politically neutral fantasy baseball podcasts out there? Asking for a comrade.
  • JLaghezza
    New additions put the show over the top!
    Adding Matt Williams & Jorge Montanez to an already good lineup puts CTB over the top. They’re not just obviously knowledgeable, but funny and relatable as well. An easy listen with plenty of takeaway.
  • mcarlos78
    Excellent show!
    Good insights, analysis,the banter between them and their guests is great! No slow downs they keep moving. Question: which is worse, waiting for someone to make a pick, or other teams auto picking? Personally I like when teams (not myself) auto pick, I can plan my next pick(s) knowing I can definitely wait knowing who they are taking. 1 draft I got Degrom AND Cole at the turn!
  • popoweb
    Bought your magazine today
    Love the podcast, been listening for a couple years. Bought the Edge Fantasy magazine today. Is it a replacement for Rotoworld magazine or just renamed?
  • Jonsey13
    A must listen for all fantasy baseball players
    Love the new lineup change. Colin and Chris are excellent.
  • Xander Dullahan
    Boring
    I love fantasy baseball but these long 90 minute podcasts put me to sleep immediately. I can feel the charisma and personality of toothpaste come through my speaker.
  • Dog Money
    Solid Info
    I appreciate the fantasy baseball coverage during the off season. This show is solid throughout the year. No BS just interesting information. Keep up the great work.
  • 732Local
    Fix the audio on Silva.
    It’s 2019, how is Silva’s audio so bad. He’s so smart and reliable but this audio issue needs to be upgraded. Great stuff other wise!
  • Soubrany
    Informative and engaging
    As a new listener I’ve been impressed with this podcast and love the real content. So many baseball podcasts give you weak attempts at shtick or banter but almost no real baseball analysis. This is genuine info and analysis and well presented, with a pleasant tempo. Excellent podcast for anyone who wants to keep up with what happens each week in baseball.
  • Ade4738
    Kinda dry
    Great knowledge, insight, etc. but from an entertainment perspective this podcast series leaves a lot to be desired. Lacks humor, witty banter, or any sort of connection/chemistry between the host.
  • Jerseyjoe1000
    1B/2B rankings
    Great insight into 2019 1B/2B picks/projections. Will stay tuned for more...
  • tricon0123
    Constantly wrong info
    I don't know where these analysts find their info. They are constantly wrong about pitcher probables and who they are facing. You guys are constantly wrong about basic information. Garbage podcast and info. I wish yahoo would stop using your website as reference.
  • Rug Daniels
    Must Listen
    I’ve used the rotoworld site for years, especially for baseball. This podcast is a great extension of the site. DJ & Drew are both knowledgable about fantasy & baseball in general. I’ve been following these guys on twitter for a while & was already a big fan coming in. The show is entertaining but also doesn’t waste much time with non-baseball related talk. If you’re a baseball fan but don’t play fantasy, there’s plenty here for you.
  • ChungDiesel
    Helpful as Always
    If you’re not listening to these guys, your draft prep is lacking. They do more research than you could ever do and the podcast is easy to listen to with tons of info. Thanks Drew and DJ!
  • TreyPhanastasio
    Awesome baseball pod!
    D.J. and Drew do a fantastic job breaking down all things fantasy! If you’re a fantasy baseball fan you’ll want to to check this out.
  • Jbbftjxffhgg
    Good
    Good stuff, need more shows n a lol more humor
  • Sports Fan443
    Excellent Podcast!
    D.J. and Drew are the best. If you play fantasy baseball you must subscribe!
  • Tani Levitt
    Moving up
    Good stuff. In the future if you could mention league depth when you discuss players. In the most recent episode you discuss Brandon Finnegan and Lance McCullers in the same way. It's a little hard to assess how you value players when you don't give context.
  • Testament1
    Awesome!
    The best! Don't confuse with some other "roto" knockoff.
  • lawandpsych
    Fantastic pod
    Great info
  • Joeybagofdonuts412
    Yay!
    Just found this. Huge fan of the website! Good stuff!
  • wood_back
    Team by Team Outstanding Spring Gem
    the chat with the team beat writers was outstanding and very informative. if you like Rotoworld website for info, these pods are an extension. One suggestion for Spring 2018 - I know time is short but don't start them until the teams have at least played a couple games. I didn't listen much to the early one's - I can read lot of places about the winter moves. I'm curious to see how the camps unfold for the teams.
  • Jucocon
    Great Content and Hosts
    DJ and Drew do a great job providing solid content in a reasonable length podcast. Both are also very knowledgeable. Easy to listen to and keeps you current on all the regular and fantasy relevant baseball news. The best baseball podcast going.
  • MudvilleNineDrew
    Awesome advice and great tips
    These guys are awesome. I've emailed them twice for advice and they've answered one question on the podcast and emailed me back advice on the other. Thanks for your help and I'll be listening and sending in more questions! Drew
  • Jahhhhhhhhhhhh
    A nice, weekly show about baseball.
    This is a great show to listen to even if you don't play fantasy baseball.
  • Mr Puffton
    Great Pod
    These guys know their stuff. Great pod to listen to. Highly recommend for any fantasy baseball player.
  • rydley
    So far, so good!
    I'm a new listener and have only thus far listened to the pre-season team previews, so I can't really weigh in on the hosts' fantasy advice/insight, but the team previews have been great. Perfect way to get ready for the season and get a short-and-sweet overview of all 30 teams from a fantasy standpoint. I always feel like I'm better-informed after listening to them!
  • Gus The Wage
    Refreshingly Different
    Pros: Really enjoying the team previews using the beat writers, its a bit different than the normal fantasy fair as they dont slap you in the face with analytics. They ask very good questions that would be on every fantasy players list and let you garner what information you need from it for your specific league. No adp, points, 5x5, or misinformation regarding ceratin fantasy leagues, just straight MLB information. Cons: Very short, extra time could be used to ask platoon situations, loss of playing time, position battles, touch each position on the field. Ask the hard questions, even if they are wrong, its an educated guess which is alot better than much of the information thats out there, let us decide to use it or not.
  • Kevocavo
    Good Listen
    It's a nice listen. Would hope for longer episodes and a little more in depth analysis but very good nonetheless!
  • RoxnSox07
    Excellent Team Previews
    Love to hear feedback from the beat writers talking about their team. Just Superb!
  • Dalan McNabola
    Great advice. Entertaining listen.
    Thanks guys for the great advice. Super smart dudes who make a baseball podcast entertaining to listen to. Subscribe to this podcast and win your fantasy leagues!
  • Devin1Hot57
    Great new podcast!
    Look forward to hearing this every week. Great show!
  • PNelly26
    It's good
    Glad that Rotoworld has developed a fantasy baseball podcast. Big fan of DJ.
  • Ynal_Alouri
    Always impressed and enjoy these!
    I highly recommend listening to this series of podcasts and to follow these guys on Twitter. D.J and Drew are some of the great fantasy baseball analyzers and always have up to date information on what's going on in the baseball world. All of their articles for Rotoworld are great, and their podcasts follows that mold of consistency. Listening to their podcasts are a Friday ritual for me now. Great work guys and keep them coming!
  • beatlesman93
    Great new fantasy show
    Great new fantasy baseball show with a lot of potential. Could be a little longer but I think it will progress and improve. Dj and Drew give great analysis and I think this is going to be a solid podcast. Appreciated the personal introductions in first show.
  • RPM3rd
    Good vibes
