The Rose Garden Report Podcast, Episode 15: Training Camp Impressions

Wrapping up a week of training camp in Santa Barbara.

For this episode of the podcast, Erik García Gundersen returns, but we're doing something a little different. Since I was at camp in Santa Barbara all week, I let him take over as host and ask me some questions about what I saw and what my impressions were. We also started a dialogue about a certain potential trade target.
