As we come down the stretch in the season, rest assured that the Fake Teams podcast isn't about to take its foot off the gas. Zack and I are back, talking news, and drafting fictional fantasy baseball rosters.
On this show we talk about:
- Kris Medlen's possible return to glory
- Alfonso Soriano's power barrage of the last few days
- A season ending injury to a top prospect
- Two closers that we're not worried about
- Baseball players from movies, and lots of them
- And much, much more!
