    Core Podcast for me!
    Absolute core podcast for all things dynasty. Always enjoy and look forward to every episode. Fantastic brand. Big fan!
  • dake20
    Way too many ads
    Tuned in for some fantasy baseball content not non-stop ads. Pathetic.
  • Shortcake4181
    Toolshed
    This is the best baseball podcast if you like learning about prospects! It has helped me in all my dynasty leagues build for the future.
  • kc286496
    Long overdue review
    In a world where anyone can create a baseball website, Twitter handle, and podcast -- and call themselves an analyst (I was one of them) -- sometimes it can be "information overload" when trying to find knowledgable sources for your dynasty leagues. If you're like me, being a step ahead of my buddies when it comes to evaluating prospects is one of the most important missions of my life (that's a joke...sort of). As such, I find it much easier and less time-consuming to just pick one prospect site as my "Ride or Die". Eric and Chris have filled that role for me for a couple years now. While nobody ever gets everything right in this business, they are as good as anybody out there and consistently helping me find under the radar guys before they hit the mainstream. Highly recommend.
  • jnorton1089
    Great content and easy to listen to
    I’ve been following Eric and Chris for years now. They are experts at fantasy baseball a and I’ve benefited so much for their analysis in my own fantasy leagues. They are easy to listen to and are always keeping the feed fresh with new episodes each week. Thanks guys!
  • Sonics10!
    The Toolshed Podcast is Must-Listen!
    I don’t miss an episode of The Toolshed fantasy baseball podcast! The Toolshed is informative and entertaining and has better prepared me for my dynasty and keeper baseball leagues.
  • MSki2204
    Best pod going!
    Eric and Chris are two guys that bring passion and enthusiasm to the show! They are in-depth, professional, and always positive in their discussions! I’ve been a loyal listener since day one and I thank them for my ongoing interest in the fantasy game!
  • BoRevere
    Recency Bias: The Podcast
    Maybe the least nuanced takes you'll ever hear. If someone's doing well, they're in their Top 10. If someone's had a rough week or two, they question, "Is he even still in our Top 100?". Look no further than their current takes on Matt Mervis, who they want nothing to do with, vs a month ago when this guy was the future of first base. I could name more but it's as easy as looking up who was doing well a month ago and is on a cold streak now. Or vice versa. Listen more for the unintended comedic hypocrisy.
  • MarleyX
    Two of the best Prospect experts..,
    On one show!!! It's really fantastic They MUST use players names more and less use of the pronoun "He".... If you add up the use of the word "He" to describe players - it's like who are they talking about??? also get a new logo! that said this is a top 3 prospect podcast! And a must listen!!
  • Matiemateomatthew
    Great show
    This is a must listen for prospect and fantasy hounds. They do a spectacular job putting frames of reference on values of up and coming prospects and current rookies and breakout veterans. The could charge for this I formation tbh
  • slibucha
    Great Duo
    Two of the best fantasy baseball prospect writers/podcasters around. My only beef is Eric dissing CT so often! Go Whalers!
  • Gfsdybbjud
    Cross and Clegg FTW
    I’ve followed these fellas on Twitter for a while, and recently started listening to podcasts. This show is a great shot of fantasy info straight into the veins! Thanks for all your hard work guys!
  • Abowlbs
    80 grade podcast!
    Great stuff. Love the FYPD coverage. The metric based discussions are invaluable.
  • LukeLukeBinks
    Good, Fun Dynasty Baseball
    Thx Eric and Chris for the ongoing good work.
  • FatNugz
    Thank you boys
    I’ve been consuming Chris and Eric’s content for almost two years now. They’re my favorite fantasy guys by a good margin (Definitely won’t admit Clegg is my favorite). It’s obvious they love baseball and love fantasy baseball and putting out the content that they do. I don’t know them personally, but with the many interactions I’ve had with them over twitter and discord and the small tidbits of their personal life that they do share, it’s not hard to see that they’re genuinely good dudes. The quality of content that have been able to put out while having real jobs and families is simply phenomenal. Thank you boys for all that you do and will continue to do. It’s fun to watch you guys grow and get bigger and better over the years. Looking forward to seeing you guys go even further. Keep it up! We’re listening!!! (and reading)
  • Mjablowout
    Best Fantasy Baseball Podcast Out There
    This is the only fantasy baseball podcast I listen to consistently because the flow and rapport of Cross and Clegg is amazing. It isn't gimmicky, just pure data, analysis and great conversation. Plus Clegg and Cross are two of my favorites in the Industry.
  • FloydXmas
    A Cheat Code for your MLB Dynasty League
    Cross & Clegg really are two of the best for any & all fantasy baseball content. Especially with regards to prospects & building a powerhouse squad in your dynasty league. These 2 guys are very, very knowledgeable (especially with prospects) and have a great back & forth about all topics. This fantasy baseball podcast can absolutely give you an edge on your competition! Keep up the phenomenal work gents, I’ll be listening week-in & week-out!
  • TGROW
    Used to be better, scattered now
    Love both hosts, but the content is so scattered now. I came here for the dynasty and the prospects, but now it’s so focused on trying to cover redraft, hold, keeper, AND dynasty stuff I just don’t get the value I used to listening to it. I miss the old shows.
  • Millman21
    Love it
    Love that Eric and Chris hit on a variety of different league types. Excellent podcast and easy listen!
  • PhilsFanTed
    Much better than when they started
    I gave these guys another shot after listening a few years ago when they started the show and i am glad i did. They have gotten a lot better as far as hosting a show and they are a little more laid back and comfortable They are both super boring, but I dont think they try not to be so no judgement there. And I think they do a good job talking about prospects although eric in particular has some of weirdest rankings out there. He really gets into whoever is the shiny new toy and completely forgets about people drafted a year or two ago. But still, a good listen and gets 5 stars
  • CorbinCarroll2025MVP
    Best Dynasty Baseball Pod
    This is a great show. Hosts are fun and easy to listen to, content is top notch and easily digestible, and this is easily the best dynasty show available. Eric and Chris give you the leg up on up and coming players while remaining realistic about potential and floor. Keep it up guys!
  • RL-78

  • Reddddandbluuue
    Perfect Duo
    Eric and Chris hit the ball out of the park with their prospect rankings and analysis. They are 2 of the most active prospect analysts on Twitter, not just posting useful stats but answering more questions in a day than I can even think of. Thank you both for your hard work and dedication to your craft. Scott from Cambridge MA

    It’s incredible how much you can learn just by listening to these two. The in-depth analysis on each of their topics keeps you 100% engaged throughout the entire episode. That’s not something that’s easy to find on a consistent basis. Never a disappointing moment.
