    Episode 100: Celebrating a Century of Podcasts with Ten Lists of Ten!
    Jul 4 2026
    Taylor Case and Joe Garino got this whole thing started; Drew Klein and Chris Knock took the wheel three years ago, and together we've made 100 episodes!
    Chris and Drew decided to honor the occasion by coming up with Ten Lists of Ten. Namesakes and Reverse Dopplegangers, Prospects on the Trading Block, and Pitchers Chris forgot to roster are just a few of the surprises waiting for you.
    Great big thank you to all our listeners; we wouldn't be here without you!
    Give it a listen and let us know what you think.

    Episode 99 JTR30 v3.03 - June Update of The Overlooked Prospects 2026
    Jun 28 2026
    Drew (NL) and Chris (AL) have a record nine new names to this month's JTR30 list of the most overlooked prospect in each organization.
    We've had promotions to the majors, roster increases above the 20% threshold, a couple of moves to the "Nothing to See Here" list, and even one prospect traded out of his organization!
    Information on the new additions and updates on all the holdovers make this a must-listen episode. As an added bonus, Chris shares his penchant for players who "rock the high socks," and Drew applies Maslow's Hierarchy of Hitting.
    Give it a listen, check out the table on the website, and let us know what you think. More importantly, be sure to pick up a few of these players before it's too late.

    Episode 95: Top Ten List Snubs, '25 Draftee Grades, and Hot Starts Fact/Fiction
    May 17 2026
    Chris and Drew use some recent articles on The Dynasty Guru website as inspiration and discuss players left off of the organization top ten prospect lists, Nate Sweet's player grades for all players drafted in the first four rounds of last year's MLB draft, and Joe Juliette's Prospect Breakout: Fact or Fiction.
    Aside from great tips on players you should think of rostering sooner than later, you'll also get a Kevin Youkilis reference, two shades of Gray (Murf and Taitn), and a couple of Dallas Baptist University Alumni.

    Episode 94: Get 'em, Go Steady, or Ghost 'em?
    May 3 2026
    We all have those players in our fantasy lives, do we pursue them, or if we already have them, do we keep going steady with them, or is it time to ghost them? Chris and Drew discuss their commitment issues with 12 players and try to answer the age-old question: Is passion more desirable than pragmatism?

    Give it a listen and let us know what you think.
