By Michael Stephens, Fantasy Football Cafe Regular
Welcome to The Can of Corn, hosted by Michael Stephens and Darren Shimp! The regular season is sprinting to the finish, but it didn’t come fast enough to keep one more Can of Corn from routinely floating its way to the warning track. The final episode of the 2008 version of the show looks forward to next year in a big way, and is crammed to the hilt with projections, recommendations and cautions for the 2009 fantasy baseball season. This is the last time you will hear from us on the baseball side of Fantasy Cafe Radio this season, so lend us an ear, grab your glove and head for the outfield - here comes The Can of Corn!
