FanGraphs Audio: Kiley McDaniel on Every Front Office Job

by
October 7, 2015

Episode 601
Kiley McDaniel is both (a) the lead prospect analyst for FanGraphs and also (b) the guest on this particular edition of FanGraphs Audio — during which edition he builds off a thread from his most recent appearance and discusses the real-live duties attached to the various job titles in a major-league front office.

This edition of the program is sponsored by Draft, the first truly mobile fantasy sports app. Compete directly against idiot host Carson Cistulli by clicking here.

Have Kiley McDaniel and Jeff Sullivan ever met? Have you ever considered having the two of them do a podcast? I have a feeling they would amuse one another, and the results would be amusing for the rest of us to listen to, at least if the topic remained nominally baseball.

Normally not a fan of the prospect talk, so I tend to avoid the McDaniel podcasts (though he is a great guest). I also loathe the “lead prospect” gag, and find it excruciating every time I hear it.

That being said, I really, really enjoyed this particular edition. Would love to hear more nuts and bolts talk about baseball front-offices.

So this now makes all perfect sense. Kiley interviewed for every front office job!

Congrats on the new gig.
