I really like this podcast, Eno and JC. The only place I see the various podcasts is if I’m fortunate enough to notice them in the ‘featured stories’ section. And if I’m looking specifically for a podcast I have to shuffle through all the featured stories. Would it make sense for the site admin to create a separate section that’s clickable from the home page that would bring up the catalog of all the podcasts?

For the giants, can Brandon Crawford be a sneaky useful SS in an NL-only format?

I’m looking to do projections for my league next year–what’s your favorite system out there for exporting into excel–steam or zips? Thanks you!

there’s a bit of momentum with Trevor Bauer due to the positive reports of mechanical improvements. Are you buying him blossoming into a rotation fixture with strikeouts this year?

Do you see Matt Cain returning to top 15 SP form? Run support will always be an issue with the Giants, so his ceiling for wins is probably going to keep his ranking down, but quality pitcher-wise, will he be top 15 again?

3 before, 3 after game with Panda. Thoughts on Danny Salazar?
