The Amazin' Avenue Audio Podcast: Episode 12

In the Ron Darling edition of the podcast, Rob and Jeffrey break down potential outfield upgrades (well, not all of them, that would take too long) and then make a plea for their favorite fringy prospect to take over at third base if David Wright isn't ready for opening day. We also kick off our 2013 NL East preview with Martin Gandy of Talking Chop and Liz Roscher of The Good Phight.
