4. Custom player page dashboards! Choose the player cards you want, in the order you want them.
5. One-click data exports! Export our projections and leaderboards for your personal projects.
6. Remove the photos on the home page! (Honestly, this doesn't sound so great to us, but some people wanted it, and we like to give our Members what they want.)
7. Even more Steamer projections! We have handedness, percentile, and context neutral projections available for Members only.
8. Get FanGraphs Walk-Off, a customized year end review! Find out exactly how you used FanGraphs this year, and how that compares to other Members. Don't be a victim of FOMO.

You guys list all these guys in various tiers and dismiss 40% w/o a comment.. Expectations are at least a mention…. Bait and switch… I will just ignore the discussion and concentrate on the written word. Very disappointing….

Instead of knocking an excellent podcast, why don’t you just ask Paul and Justin to either cover more players instead of simply dismissing them, or call out that the presentation isn’t a full review but a list of players the hosts like or dislike. I mean, this format isn’t new. This is basically Paul and Justin’s approach in every episode. And, really, it makes for a great podcast.
