FanGraphs Audio: Prospects with Mike Newman
Episode 268
Prospect analyst Mike Newman discusses players he’s seen — including, in this case, outfielders Todd Cunningham (Braves), Ariel Ovando (Astros), Tyler Austin (Yankees), and maybe-third-baseman Aderlin Rodriguez (Mets) — and the larger concerns each raises with regard to prospect analysis generally.

Loving these extra long podcasts
To be honest, I think Carson wants me to shut up at 45-minutes so he can end it. If you like it, I’ll keep stalling though.
Good work. Carson is really coming into his own as a host and the particular guest, Mike Newman, is great as always.
Thanks. I agree with the assessment of Carson. As a guest, I feel like I’m starting to hit my stride.
I agree. The improvement in Carson’s naturalness, ease, and joke-to-verbiage ratio, even over the single month I’ve been listening to the podcast, is immense.
Thoroughly enjoyed this. FG Audio is quickly enjoying hit after hit after hit. You’ve got hit on your hands, guys.
Cistulli knows this and uses it, and his mustache as a ploy to lure unsuspecting guests.
EXCELLENT podcast. I’m recommending it to all Nats fans. Many good topics covered.
The Grandpa Cistulli potential-o-meter has a heartbeat, folks!
