The return of Prince Fielder is crucial, since the Brewers don’t have a rich farm system
We couldn’t do a show last week for a variety of reasons, but we make it up to you with nearly three hours of fun. We preview the World Series with Anthony Andro of Fox Sports SouthWest and Deadspin founder Will Lietch, we talk a ton of prospects, our special guest is Rafael Rojas was a fascinating talk about baseball in Venezuela, we have a listener of the week with rock star Riley Breckenridge, and we even deliver not one, but two Nots. We hope you enjoy, and somehow make it all the way through, as this show was a lot of fun to do.

Then we continue our team-by-team prospect talk with five more clubs, followed by a fascinating talk with Phil Rogers about what is going on with the Cubs search for a new general manager. Then it’s the goofy stuff, with some Moneyball talk and we’re out. As always, we hope you enjoy.
