    Episode 82: 2026 Shortstop Prospect and Overall Rankings
    Jan 25 2026
    Chris Knock and Drew Klein break down the TDG 2026 Preseason Shortstop rankings, including both the prospect rankings and the overall rankings.

    But first, Drew awards the Join the Ranks Player Named Carolina of the Week Award to Rayshelon Carolina.

    There are a lot of great prospects to discuss and many of them will be fantasy relevant very soon. As always, fun with Sneaky Deeps including a look back at our 2025 Sneaky Deeps (spoiler, we went 0 for 2).

    Episode 81: 2026 Pre-Season Outfield Rankings, Prospect and Overall
    Jan 17 2026
    Chris Knock and Drew Klein break down the TDG 2026 Preseason Outfield rankings, including both the prospect rankings and the overall rankings. Before they share this year's Sneaky Deep Outfield Prospects, they take a quick look at how last year's fared. Spoiler alert one of them is in this year's top 50.

    And this will make more sense after you've listened, but we've since learned that Rayshelon Carolina played professional baseball in the Netherlands for five years.

  • Episode 80: Old Faces; New Places

    Episode 80: Old Faces; New Places
    Jan 11 2026
    Even though there are a few big names still on the MLB free agent market (more on that later), there have been a good number of major league players and minor league prospects who have moved to new organizations for 2026. Chris and Drew take some time to look at moves that may or may not have an impact on their dynasty fantasy league value.

    That's followed by an analysis of several fantasy trades that we've recently been a part of, been asked about in the Discord, or have seen discussed on social media.

    And once again, the first rule of podcasting has held true. If you record an Old Faces in New Places episode, a significant free agent will sign within 12 hours of the end of your recording session. Good news for Bregman, bad news for Shaw (?), and bad luck for us.

  • Episode 79: Post-hype prospects

    Episode 79: Post-hype prospects
    Dec 14 2025
    In this episode we learn who won the Rule 5 prediction contest and why Drew blames the White Sox for losing. More importantly, we discuss twelve players who haven't yet been living up to their prospect hype but who we believe will improve significantly and are worth picking up in a trade or draft this off-season.
    One quick correction from last episode, this is the 44th episode hosted by Chris and Drew. Fun fact from baseball history, 44 was worn by Al Downing, the pitcher who surrendered Hank Aaron's 715th home run. By the way, Hammerin' Hank also wore number 44.

    Episode 77: JTR30 v2.23 - The Overlooked Prospects July Update
    Jul 9 2025


    Time for the July update of the JTR30, a list of the most overlooked prospects in each organization. Chris and Drew split up the leagues and find players who are rostered on less than 20% of Fantrax Leagues but should be rostered more than that.

    Listen and find out who's in, who's out, who's off the hot seat, who's on the hot seat and who did Drew just compare to Jackson Merrill???

    NOTE: We recorded this early on Tuesday before the Yankees called up JTR30 2025 Player of the Year frontrunner Cam Schlittler and also before the news came out that Jaden Hamm (Tigers) is on the injured list. I'll throw in a bonus Tiger or two, take a look at Max Anderson (2B) or Andrew Sears (P).

    This update is like a book club about prospects, with sushi, and we find out who's on the hot seat, who's stable at the table, and wonder if humility is a fantasy asset.
