FanGraphs Audio: Dave Cameron on Contractual Esoterica

Episode 640
Dave Cameron is both (a) the managing editor of FanGraphs and (b) the guest on this particular edition of FanGraphs Audio, during which edition he examines the significance of the date on which shortstop Ruben Tejada was placed on waivers by the Mets, what would have happened if the Mets had rostered him for even one more day, and (finally) the Mets’ organizational shortstop depth and Cardinals’ relative lack of same.

I usually love Cistulli’s oddball interests, but ~20 minutes on the Mets backup infield? And they’re the first 20 minutes? There had to be something more worthwhile to lead with this week.

Don’t forget the riveting segments on real-estate title and escrow, Cardinals middle infield philosophy, and early-season bullpen usage! All around this was definitely the Cistulliest episode in some time.
