It was a system deep with talented positional players with premium fantasy upsides. In recent years those talented positional payers have debuted on the big stage, succeeded (for the most part), and broke an 108 year old curse. So to say things are good in Wrigleyville is an understatement. While the farm is not what it was two years ago, it's been essential in reinforcing both of the Cubs recent playoff runs. This leaves Lance and myself to pick up the pieces of what remains. It's a system lacking standout...2017-12-301h 18
Fantasy Baseball Prospects at RazzballProspect Podcast: 2018 Boston Red Sox Top ProspectsNo matter how bad the Red Sox farm system is it will always have a place in this Prospector's Heart. Despite his best efforts, David Dombrowski has not stripped the joy out of Red Sox prospects just yet, and to celebrate this I've brought along not only my brother from another Lance Brozdowski, but also "boots on the ground, eyes at the park" prospector John Calvagno of @SallyNotes on twitter, and NotesfromtheSally.com. Before John, Lance, and I dig in on the Sawx. I wax poetic about my days as a young man running amok at McCoy Staduim. We then div...2017-12-231h 38
Fantasy Baseball Prospects at RazzballProspect Podcast: Top Arizona Diamondbacks and Baltimore Orioles ProspectsThe preview season is upon us, and we're kicking it off with the Diamondbacks and Orioles. Lower case yay… On their own these are two relativity boring systems, but combined they create a super system, still less exciting than next week's topic the Braves. Another lower case yay. Lance and I kick off the show with some discussion of the Dee Gordon trade, the prospects headed the Marlins way. We touch on Kevin Maitan signing with the Angels, and some other "hot stove" news, before delving into discussions of Jon Duplantier's mechanics, Ryan Mountcatle's leg kick, and how good Austin Ha...2017-12-091h 29

Fantasy Baseball Prospects at RazzballProspect Podcast: Farewell Halph, Hello Broshitz!It's with heavy hearts that we bid adieu to the dynamic duo of Halph. That's right, it is with great sadness that I inform our listening public that Michael Halpern has moved on to the high stakes world of Bird Law. Our once loyal podcast host is needed by our feathered friends. Remember loyal listeners, bird law in this country is not governed by reason. With that said, the one the only Lance Brozdowski will be joining me as my permanent co-host until, he too grows up. I'm Peter Pan y'all, not to worry, old Ralphie ain't going nowhere. Unfortunately...2017-11-2151 min
