a little surprised to see Kendrick listed as overrated AND underrated. Is this just due to injury concerns (or lack thereof)?
Also – I’m just downloading the latest podcast and noticed that it’s a video. Is there any way to offer the old .mp3 option as well. I love the video idea, but the files are huge and take a fairly long time to download. It would be great to have a choice between video or audio podcast.
Thanks,

I second that toddmon,
I listen to the show in my car on the way to work, but can only play .mp3′s no videos so if it keeps being videos i’m afraid i’ll no longer be able to listen.

Hey everyone,
We’re in the process of getting the audio podcast ready. It’ll be up at some point today!

Is the fantasy summit tonight? Foley’s right?
love the adam laroche pick for underrated, don’t forget about conor jackson either.
Is this show archived anywhere so that I could watch/listen to it online?
Thanks!
Yes, the podcast of the preview show from 3/10 is available in both audio and video form…just go to the podcasts page or click on the links on the left side of the channel page.
Note that Saltalamacchia got sent down today. If I had to bet, I would still wager that he’ll get more MLB at-bats this year than Laird, and will be a big contributor at some point. But the risk of him getting sent down to play every day at AAA was the reason I thought he was overrated on draft day, and that risk came to be.
Note also that my underrated SS leads the Majors in steals!!
