Joining the show this evening is a magnificent collection of talented baseball minds; the site expert from Jays Journal, Chris Henderson (@Baseball4Brains), podcaster and creator of the South of the 6ix podcast, Adam Corsair (@SouthOfThe6ix), and Eric Rosenhek (@TheHek), blogger and host of Definitely Not Jays Talk. Together with your host, Ari Shapiro, these savants of baseball discuss:
