Great Podcast
Very informative podcast, I really enjoyed the content about the draft, I wish they would expand on this idea and cover more MLB history

Best MLB pod out there
The series on the 2009 draft and Mo got me through the winter. Now that spring training is underway, I’m looking forward to what’s next. Full Account is the best MLB podcast I’ve heard. Well done, everyone!

Great player, poor interview
I absolutely love Mariano Rivera, he’s my favorite picture of all time in fact. But I am completely taken out of the interview with the interruptions of the narrator every 25 seconds. I don’t understand why you just can’t sit down for two hours with the greatest closing pitcher in major league baseball history and just play that. I listened to the first portion of this for Park interview and haven’t completed it because I hate the way your format to set up MLB.com. Thanks for nothing

No more episodes?
Great few episodes, but none since! Next round of episodes are ok...too much music! Cut the soundtrack and let us listen to the game clips and interviews

Fantastic
Great mix of nostalgia, new insights and candor from both Rivera and those who know him. The fact that it’s MLB sanctioned allows for the inclusion of fantastic radio and TV calls during games described. A+

Awesome!
Can you please follow up with players from other draft years? (Freeman, Yelich, Bellinger, etc)

I love Castro and his story telling. Only question is, will we get a follow-up to this series.

Castro Knocks the Cover Off the Ball!
Anthony Castrovince is one of my favorite writers on MLB.com, and I was thrilled to learn he had made this series. Aside from being the deepest dive I've heard or read about the draft, it is front-to-back a great story of how 2009 in particular changed the landscape in, as Castorvince descirbes, "tentacles" of influence (and rule changes) growing and spreading from the six subjects profiled. I say subjects, but we are talking about the guy we all recognize now should have been number one in Mike Trout, and a guy that even back then would have made the conversation interesting in Stephen Strasburg. From there, Castrovince presents varying degrees of how a "chip on the shoulder" mentality, or a drive to prove oneself, are ultimately what define a superstar. Can you believe that they wanted Nolan Arrenado to catch? Or that J.D. Martinez couldn't get a college, any college, to take him? That Paul Goldschmidt is now a Cardinal makes perfect sense, but could it have happened sooner? After all the stories of the chosen, he introduces us to the chooser, Jeff Luhnow, who teaches us that scouting directors and general managers buy in bulk, too! Really great series, well done all around!

Turn this Series into a Book
Before the start of the 2009 MLB draft class, the prospects were considered a weak crop by many pundits. Who knew there would be so many recognizable stars? Mike Trout is a future HOFers and his story proves that the personal touch of scouting is still relevant. I enjoyed the series and hope they turn it into a book!

Great stories
I would definitely say the stories within these shows are fantastic. However, there is an absolute feeling that this “podcast” is simply just a read-through of a column that you would find on MLB.com. Don’t get me wrong, it’s very good with the story telling and the subject itself, but I think it’s just too uptight of a production. Would 100% recommend for any baseball fan whether casual or diehard

I want more
This was such a cool series. I enjoyed hearing the stories about each player. Some of the players I never cared much for, but after hearing their stories, I have a new found respect for them. I would listen to the insight of every MLB player if more stories like these came out. Great job!

Great insight
Great inside background stories on what happened when these players were drafted 10 years ago. Shows the struggle of how hard it is to be a MLB player even when you have the talent and drive.

Love it
Great stuff. Also, when I was a kid and Arenado was at A+ Modesto, he snubbed me of an autograph to talk to a girl.

Amazing work
I co-host The High And Inside Podcast And do a short story segment and realize how much research goes into a story. My mind is blown with how much great information is in this podcast. I appreciate the hard work you guys did to put this out there.
