I was just wondering if anyone out there listens to any good fantasy sports podcast. I play fantasy football and baseball with my friends and I'm really not good at baseball. I really need some kind of podcast to help feed names of young players and guys on teams I never watch.

I like the fantasy focus 06010 on espn but this year they changed hosts. I'm not really liking the new guys, they are trying to make the show their own which is fine for them but I'm not liking their choices. So I'm looking for new source of information.

It's a real shame that Berry is no longer doing the 06010. I think Cockroft is a great source for pitching information, but I still prefer Berry. My brother listens to the CBS baseball podcast, it's pretty entertaining but the information is somewhat spotty from my experience.

I don't have any podcasts to recommend, but here are a few articles to look at before drafting.

Breakout players:

Pitchers to draft:

Berry does still release articles, here is his 100 facts page:

Hopefully he has a love/hate list coming soon. Good luck in your draft.

@white_sox: thanks for the helpful articles.

TMR and weasel just work better together somehow. Crockroft I like as well, maybe its just Karabell I hate. I like the podcasts cause I usually listen to 5-10 hrs a week including the bombcast, nerdpoker, and good job brain. Its nice to have someone else doing all the work of watching all the games and summing it all up for me. I'm a Cubs fan who currently lives in florida now so I see a lot of bad baseball between cubs and marlins. Though like most year, maybe not last year, I feel the cubs may be heading in right direction.

I know what you mean, they worked really well together.

I actually listened to a couple CBS podcasts today (my draft is this Sunday, so I'm in crunch mode right now), and they've seemed to improve and I actually like some of the guys on there. One thing they do really well is throwing out a bunch of names, so it's more of a breadth instead of depth approach. It gets you thinking about a lot of guys, even some that are way off the radar. Here's the link for the CBS casts:

I think the really dark days of watching Cubs baseball is almost over. Baez looks like he's legit and he'll probably get called up before the end of this year. They'll also have an abundance of cash to spend next offseason. Can't say the same about the Marlins though...
