Printer-friendly

It's Baseball Prospectus's newest podcast: DFA! Host Bryan Grosnick (Baseball Prospectus), co-host R.J. Anderson (CBS Sports), and producer Shawn Brody (Beyond the Box Score, BP Mets) are talking about all the transactions and roster moves that make MLB go. From trades and signings to callups and disabled list stints, DFA is here to provide analysis and commentary on all things baseball.

On the seventh episode of DFA, Bryan and R.J. Anderson special guest co-host Zach Crizer of Baseball Prospectus break down the Indians' promotion of Top-100 prospect Bradley Zimmer. Will this finally, thankfully, end the turmoil in Cleveland's center field spot? After discussing Baseball Prospectus's pre-season No. 80 prospect, Bryan, Zach, and Shawn discuss all the major and minor moves of the past few days, including a rare Robinson Cano injury, a couple of former Royals (Christian Colon and Peter O'Brien) in new roles, the mystery of Grant Dayton, the Triple-A mastery of Jared Hoying, and much, much more. Oh, and the guys end the show talking about poor Leury Garcia. So yeah, it's a good one.
