Have you looked into Pamela Call Recorder for Skype? I’ve used it this year to record quite a few Skype calls as podcasts for my long-time keeper league. I have had very clean recordings on every attempt and the recording quality is the same as the quality in the call.
Also, I’m in a battle for third in this league and really need a combo outfielder the rest of the season. I currently have Leonys Martin, but thoughts on Pence, Souza, or Gomez the rest of the way? Our league also counts walks and strikeouts for hitters.
