Lately at work I’ve been able to use my iPod more and more, which is nice because it helps pass the time. I’ve been enjoying Baseball America and Baseball Prospectus’s podcasts, but have not found any other baseball or Cardinal related podcasts out there that I’ve really enjoyed yet.
Is there anything you fine readers out there would recommend? Thanks.

David Pinto at baseball musings used to do one, but I haven’t looked in a while and now can’t seem to find it.

Doesn’t do Podcasts but does do a lot of good interviews. You should be able to download them some how
When do Baseball America and Baseball Prospectus update theirs? I’ve wanted to get a daily baseball podcast to listen to on the morning drive (XM Baseball in the AM is awful lately).
BP updates theirs more often than Baseball America, but it’s sporadic. BP had a podcast or two daily during the playoffs, and are doing 1-3 a week right now, mostly talking about Goldstein’s Top 11′s. A lot of it is interviews with players or minor league coordinators.
BA has a weekly college podcast during college baseball season, as for them talking MLB and minors, they are a lot further and farther in between. They had one for the Futures Game, one talking international signings, a couple on on the draft, they just had one talking AL East top tens.
I know MLB.com used to have quite a few. I found them on ITunes a few years ago and they were free. Fantasy 411 and Around the Minors were the 2 I listened to most often.
I listen to about 200 different podcasts and none of them are baseball-related. I just can’t handle any of them.
This has nothing to do with podcasts — I’m not that technically sophisticated — but can someone explain why Mark Worrell doesn’t seem to be in the team’s plans? Guy’s got a minor-league career K/9 rate of 10.5. FIP last year at Memphis was 2.86. (And, of course, we know he can hit in the big leagues.) What am I missing?
MLB.com Fantasy 411 is the way to go.
Greg,
Worrell is basically a righty specialist, although I believe this year he actually fared better against lefties than he did righties. I think he’ll pretty much be on the team next year unless Springer re-signs. He pretty much has Springer’s role.
Meh, I’m not really a fantasy baseball guy. I’ve tried to be one…and failed miserably. But for a fantasy podcast, Ron Shandler’s company has a pretty good one that I found to be mostly good.
Thanks for all the feedback, everyone. It looks like there just isn’t a lot of great baseball podcasts out there, sadly.
Erik,
Take matters into your own hands ;)
I couldn’t imagine a better podcast then a Cardinals Weekly Wrap Up. Look at how the big club and farm teams did throughout the week, analysis, etc. I know of several podcasts that use Skype conference calls then record and edit the call. I would think the UCB might be willing to set something like this up with a rotating basis for hosts. The biggest commitment would be from the technical side for editing the final podcast.
Redbirds of a Feather does a pretty decent Cardinal one, though it’s fairly short this time of year.

I was hoping to be able to download the UCB radio shows, but I’ve not been able to figure out how to do that.
Baseball Today podcast from ESPN is wonderful during the season with daily updates. However, during the offseason there is only about a podcast a month.
