| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Rotowire Prospect podcast. |
| 0:04.2 | I'm your host, James Anderson, and I've got a great guest this week, Jim Callis, MLB Pipeline, |
| 0:11.2 | coming on to preview the draft with me, which we've been doing for a few years now. |
| 0:15.5 | I really appreciate Jim, being so gracious for this time. |
| 0:19.0 | The podcast is brought to you by Pick Six, the new fantasy game from Draft Kings, |
| 0:23.6 | use code RW Picks for $50 in Pick Six credits with a $5 deposit. |
