Fantasy Baseball Prospect Podcast: The Itch Recaps the 2020 MLB Draft

We got Broshitz back together again this week and brought along our favorite guest/unofficial third host Emily Waldon. If you don't know Emily, she's the bee's knees, a minor league expert, and the foremost voice on the Detroit Tigers minor leagues. She's also employed by two of the biggest outfits in sports (Baseball America and The Athletic). Do to Emily's expertise we dig into the Tigers prospects and the Midwest League. If you're a Tigers fan this is a podcast you cannot miss.

We're back in the saddle and ready to get you up to speed on all the top names in Monday's MLB Draft. We talk Adely Rutschman, Andrew Vaughn, Bobby Witt Jr., J.J. Bleday, Riley Greene and others. We give you the lowdown on the real life value versus fantasy of each draftee, and tell you which player we feel can be the top fantasy asset from this draft.  If you're a dynasty addict, then you don't want to miss this one. We end the show touching on a handful of pitchers that have our interest at the moment. It's the latest episode of the Razzball Prospect Podcast.

Prospect Podcast: Previewing The 2019 MLB Draft

This week Lance and Lifshitz are back in saddle after a long layover. Not to worry, we pickup right where we left off by diving into some of the callups over the last week, as well as a laundry list of live looks between the two of us over the first month plus. From Wander Franco to Casey Mize and all the looks in between, we give you the low down from the field from the Midwest to the International League. Maybe it's been a month since you last heard the sweet sounds of Bro-Shitz, maybe you've been in coma and didn't miss anything. Who cares? We're back!

Prospect Podcast: Call-Ups A Plenty, Spend FAAB Accordingly

With all of baseball in full swing we have a lot to dig into this week on the show. Always one to avoid all the heavy lifting we brought along our Prospects Live teammate Jason Pennini to run through all the happenings on all levels of baseball. Well, we didn't quite have enough time to cover your local little league, but we were close. We start with all the happenings and hot performers in MiLB, running through Luis Robert, Carter Kieboom, and many others. We move onto the college ranks talking some of the recent draft prospects I've caught, and culminate in the coup de grace of Jason Pennini's NHSI looks. It's an all encompassing episode of the Prospect Podcast.

Prospect Podcast: First Week Thoughts, NHSI, And D1 Looks

Lance is back in the saddle this week, as we talk some of the debuts of the last week in MLB. We of course gush about Chris Paddack, touch on Corbin Burnes, and Nick Margevicius, as well as other rookies breaking camp with their respective big clubs. Following the MLB rookie discussion we swim back to the shallow end of the pool to talk MiLB assignments for the upcoming campaign. We discuss a stacked Wilmington club, as well as some of the other standout groups to checkout this season. It's the latest episode of the Razzball Prospect Podcast, and no animals were harmed in the production of this show.

Prospect Podcast: Rookie Debuts And Assignments

Not going to lie, I couldn't be more excited to release this podcast to the public at large. The band is back together for one night only as the Halph Reunion Tour sets up shop in your ear holes. That's right Michael Halpern joins me as the host stand-in this week. So you know we had to bring it back to the good old days as Halp and I touch on the wave of top prospects breaking camp. With all of these talents likely to exhaust their prospect eligibility in the coming months, we decided to hit you with 16 players we view as the next wave of elite players. It's back to the future this week on the latest episode of the Razzball Prospect Podcast.

Prospect Podcast: Halph Rides Again

A busy week of baseball with the Padres signing Manny Machado, College Baseball in full swing, and spring training games kicking off this weekend. There's lots to talk about. In hopes of getting you up to speed on all the happenings, injuries, and story lines of the first week of baseball, we run through 9 days worth of action in 60 minutes. We're just that fast! (That's what she unfortunately said) As Lance is fresh off his West Coast road trip, and I’ve been sitting in my basement watching Grand Canyon University play, rambling about nothing. Regardless, lots of baseball to talk, and that’s what we’re giving you. More baseball! It’s the latest episode of the Razzball Prospect Podcast!

Prospects Podcast: We Have Baseball! Let’s Talk!

Finally we have a trade to sink our teeth into, as JT Realmuto was traded for the Phillies in exchange for Sixto Sanchez, Jorge Alfaro, and lefty Will Stewart. An interesting deal with some ripple effects on the fantasy catching landscape. Lance and I discuss all the players involved, stump for Sixto a little before moving on. What do we move on to? Me waxing poetic about how good the Padres Chris Paddack can be and just how remarkable his 2018 really was. If you don't know now you know. We wrap up the show with a little Daniel Espino talk and send you on your merry way. It's the latest episode of the Razzball Prospect Podcast. Follow Lance on Twitter @Lancebroz and follow Ralph @ProspectJesus, and of course find all their work on www.prospectslive.com

Prospect Podcast: Realmuto Trade and Chris Paddack’s Remarkable Skill Set

There's nothing going on in baseball and like any good propaganda arm we created content to discuss. We manufactured controversies and fought about them for 60 minutes. That's actually not what happened at all. Instead Lance and I discussed the recently released Top 100 over on Prospects Live. We walk through some of our big discrepancies, and discuss our differing of opinions. But that loyal listeners is not all we talk. Oh no, we touched on a project I'm in the midst of researching. One I believe will make you deep leaguers sweat. Will I say what it is? NOPE! You gotta listen bro. It's the latest episode of the Razzball Prospect Podcast.

Prospect Podcast: Top 100, Deep FYPD Sleepers, And Assessing Value

As the off-season continues to creep by at a slow drizzle, Lance and I bend over backwards to bring you this tasty dynasty morsel. We start the show talking some Wander Franco and just how high of a ranking is justifiable. We follow that up with a pair of Royals prospects in Nick Pratto and M.J. Melendez, and make some predictions regarding their 2019s. Next we jump into Daniel Espino's ever climbing draft stock, is he the high school righty ready to break the stigma? We end the show talking a collection of top talents in Jesus Luzardo, Forrest Whitley, Mark Vientos, and Danny Jansen. It's another episode of the Razzball Prospect Podcast.

Prospect Podcast: Wander Franco, Nick Pratto, Daniel Espino, and More

I'm Ralph Lifshitz, and I am not on this podcast. It's a strange phenomenon. Work pulled me away from the show for the week, so Lance returned and brought Jason Woodell on to bless us with his top notch insights. The boys talk The Mets, as well as a few of Jason's favorite prospects coming into 2019. They then wrap up the show with some discussion of their mentalities when working on the forthcoming Top 100 list. It's guaranteed to be a classic show so tune in to catch all that. It's the latest episode of the Razzball Prospect Podcast powered by Prospects Live. 

Prospect Podcast: Mets, Kirilloff, and Cristian Pache F/ Jason Woodell

It's been a long two weeks. Gifts were purchased, wrapped, and un-wrapped. Traveling was done, and merry times were had by all. Unfortunately the by product of this joyous season is my co-host Lance Brozdowski is in high demand. As my better half traveled back to Chicago, I did what any philandering husband would do. I called my man Eddy Almaguer and we recorded a podcast behind Lance's back. It's all good though, Eddy's part of the PL Team, and just so happens to be our in house Yusei Kikuchi expert. So of course we dig into our expectations for the Japanese lefty in 2019, the best place to draft him in mixed league redraft, and where we might pluck him in a Dynasty First Year Player Draft. After that we talk some ETAs for 2019 (Alonso, Tatis, etc.), before diving into ten players squarely on our radar going into 2019 dynasty drafts.

After a painful hiatus Lance and your boy Ralph are back at it again. Lance is fresh off the Winter Meetings, and I’m just fresh off. We open the show with some interesting tidbits Lance picked up out in Vegas and follow it up with some discussion of the Rockies recent acquisition of Daniel Murphy. What’s to become of Brendan Rodgers and Garrett Hampson? Don’t worry, we’ll tell ya! We finish the show with some dynasty strategy talk, walking through the first half of a recent startup league I’m participating in. It’s another dynamite performance from Lance, and a slightly above-average phone in job on my end. It's the Razzball Prospect Podcast powered by ProspectsLive.com. As always make sure you stop by Rotowear.com, and support our sponsor by picking up some of the freshest T-shirts out there.

Prospect Podcast: What About The Rockies Kids?

The rumors were false, Lance did not leave to join the circus, he has returned and recommitted himself to the discipline of prospecting. Truthfully I kidnapped him and he's locked in my basement, forced to 13 hours a day of game logging. Strangely he enjoys it. Yeah, I know what the hell is wrong with me? Bizarre fantasy aside, Lance and I dive into the prospects in the "tentative" Robinson Cano deal, the Mariners burgeoning rebuild, and all the small deals taking place. We then hit on some sleepers we've uncovered during our Top 30 work with Prospects Live, and why these are names you need to know. It's the off-season but we're still churning content to help guide your dynasty teams.
