5 Things You Need to Know BEFORE Fantasy Baseball Starts
Mookie Betts is the incredible shrinking man, Shane McClanahan got hurt in his last spring training start, Cam Smith made the Astros Opening Day roster, Braves pitchers keep rising on the draft boards and the closer market got tighter with Alexis Diaz hitting the IL. Fred Zinkie and Jeff Erickson hit how these stories are changing late fantasy drafts and early free agent periods and more! --- 00:00 Fred Pod 3-24 00:30 Welcome 01:00 First FAAB Run 03:30 LABR FAAB Results - Cam Smith 09:30 Mookie Betts 16:30 Quick ME recap 16:45 Zac Gallen 24:20 Roupp over Birdsong 27:45 Does anyone ever punt saves in the ME, and take advantage of the inflation? 31:20 Xavier Edwards in a big contest, because he could steal 75. 34:00 Fantrax 35:00 Did the hype go too far on some SPs during draft season ? 35:30 Robbie Ray and Christopher Sanchez inside the top 100? 39:00 Gavin Williams and Clay Holmes inside the top 150? Did we wind up disrespecting guys like Luis Castillo and Freddy Peralta, who are consistently good? 45:40 NFBC RotoWire Online Championship 46:45 Job Battle Resolution 47:00 Alan Roden. 54:30 BlueWire 54:35 How much is a win worth (Landon Knack)? 57:50 Streaming early in April. For example, Chris Paddack and Simeon Woods-Richardson can be streamed vs. CWS next week. 1:00:55 Landen Roupp and Hayden Birdsong. 1:03:15 Kristian Campbell or Jackson Holliday? 1:06:00 Nolan Jones - Will Brennan may not make the team. It seems like this trade is a loss for everyone except Jordan Beck. I don’t like it for Nolan Jones, Noel, all the other Rockies. 1:08:45 What are we expecting from Victor Scott? Does his addition ruin a Nolan Gorman bounceback season? 1:11:30 Is it concerning that Corbin Burnes is starting the fifth game of the season? --- NFBC RotoWire Online Championship The NFBC RotoWire Fantasy Baseball Online Championship is Live!

Depth Chart Questions w/ KC Bubba
Athletics Osvaldo Bido will be in the rotation, right? Roster Resource has him at AAA for some reason… Arizona Nowhere for Jordan Lawlar to play? Atlanta Will they really go into the year with one of Ian Anderson, AJ Smith-Shawver or Bryce Elder in the rotation? Baltimore Probably nowhere for Heston Kjerstad or Coby Mayo to play as things stand, but they’re both seemingly a trade or an injury away. Any current interest? Boston More PA, Kristian Campbell or David Hamilton? Chicago Cubs Draft Ben Brown now and hope he wins the fifth starter’s spot? Chicago White Sox Likelihood Edgar Quero, Colson Montgomery, Bryan Ramos make Opening Day roster? Cincinnati Noelvi Marte, Rhett Lowder ticketed for Triple-A? Cleveland How much will Jhonkensy Noel play? Colorado What will Jordan Beck’s role be? Detroit Should we expect Jackson Jobe to make the Opening Day rotation? Houston Who intrigues us most as an OF flyer? Chas McCormick, Jake Meyers, Zach Dezenzo, Jacob Melton, Taylor Trammell… Kansas City Intrigued by any of Kris Bubic, Alec Marsh, Kyle Wright, Michael Loreznen? Los Angeles Angels Seems pretty straightforward. Are we tracking what Reid Detmers and/or Caden Dana do in spring training? Los Angeles Dodgers Who plays more, Hyesong Kim or Andy Pages? Miami Derek Hill is going to play more than people think – one of the rare Roster Resource mess-ups currently Milwaukee What will Caleb Durbin’s role be to start the year? Minnesota Who will be the fourth and fifth starters? Simeon Woods Richardson, Chris Paddack, David Festa, Zebby Matthews New York Mets More playing time in 2025, Ronny Mauricio or Luisangel Acuna? New York Yankees How confident are we in Jasson Dominguez playing every day? Philadelphia Worried about Bryson Stott’s lineup placement and platoon when the team is at full strength? Pittsburgh What will Nick Yorke’s role be? San Diego Team Top-Heavy, everybody who can play will be playing San Francisco Will Hayden Birdsong make the Opening Day rotation? Seattle Top-heavy depth chart, presumably not done adding. Any interest in their cheap guys, Ryan Bliss, Dominic Canzone, Tyler Locklear, Austin Shenton? St. Louis Will Michael McGreevy open the year at Triple-A? Tampa Bay Wil

Better in Real Life, Better in Fantasy
Inspired by Daulton Varsho, Jeff Erickson and Fred Zinkie review which players are better in real life than fantasy, and which players are better in fantasy in real life, and try to find some underlying trends. --- 00:00 - Fred Pod 9-2 01:00 - Daulton Varsho comment from Sunday night. 02:15 - Varsho isn’t a good real-life hitter, but he’s been decent for fantasy this year ($8) and hit .281 with 18 runs and four homers in August. 04:50 - Players who were better in real life than fantasy this year. 05:00 - Bryce Harper. 11th in OPS but just a $22 player. He will hit 30 homers, but without many steals and his batting average is more good than great. 10:00 - Freddie Freeman. 14th in OPS but a $20 player. He may not reach 25 homers or 10 steals. Hitting .285, which is fine but not special. 17:00 - Riley Greene. 20th in OPS. But hitting .259 with 20 homers and 4 steals. Missed a bit of time, but his R/RBI aren’t great either. An $11 player. 22:15 - Popular opinion is that J.D. Martinez has been very good for the Mets. It’s true. He has a .777 OPS. But he has generated just $4 in fantasy. Just 16 HR, 0 SB, 108 R+RBI. 29:00 - Orioles talk - Jackson Holliday, Coby Mayo 32:00 - Better in fantasy than real life . 32:20 - Maikel Garcia is second last in OPS. Has generated $17 in fantasy. The 33 steals and 83 runs scored are pretty awesome. 35:15 - Jacob Young is a poor man’s version of Garcia. Eighth worst OPS but a $9 player thanks to hitting .258 with 31 steals and 69 runs. He’s one of baseball’s worst hitters but is helping fantasy teams in 3/5 categories. 38:35 - Zack Gelof has the 4th worst OBP of any qualified player. He also has 16 HR and 20 SB. A $4 player so far. 42:30 - Christopher Morel is batting .196 while somehow generating $3 in fantasy value. That’s what 21 homers and 8 steals will do for you. 44:25 - Brice Turang has sunk to 13th worst in OPS but has generated $18 in fantasy production thanks to seven homers and 40 steals. Almost as valuable as Freeman. 46:15: - Firing up Julio Rodriguez, who’s next? 47:00: - Alexis Diaz 52:25 - Good News for the Padres: Yu Darvish may return Wednesday; Joe Musgrove had a great start against the Tigers; Tatis is back. --- Pick6 Download the new DraftKings Pick Six app and use code RWPICKS.

Drop Julio Rodriguez?
Julio Rodriguez was a top-5 picks in most drafts, but he's currently a bad hitter on a bad offense playing on a bad ankle, meaning that he won't give you stolen bases. Is he perhaps a drop for 2024? Fred Zinkie and Jeff Erickson explore that question and hone in on some second-half trends. --- 00:00 - Fred Pod 08-27 00:45 - Fred: I heard you and Scott talking about Julio Rodriguez. Can Julio be a 1st round 2025 pick and someone who you should drop right now? Lousy hitter, lousy offense, no base stealing with his ankle. 06:00 - Could J-Rod get shut down? 09:00 - Walker Buehler drop? 09:30 - Map out ahead of time 12:00 - Any injury cut, like Robbie Ray 13:30 - Kyle Tucker sprinting! 14:30 - Pick up more hot hands? Maybe just better matchups. 16:50 - Don’t cut Luis Robert 23:45 - Sometimes using season-long stats is better. Bigger sample size. But sometimes it isn’t, because teams change during the season. Here are some second half team stats that listeners may find interesting. After all, if we are going to stream down the stretch, we need to know what each team looks like right now. 25:45 - Houston is 24th in runs scored. Cleveland is 20th Boston is 3rd. 30:45 - KC is 2nd. 35:40 - Diamondbacks lead MLB in runs scored 38:00 - The Rays are 29th in runs scored but first in steals! 40:00 - Tampa is first in ERA. Detroit is 6th. Oakland is 10th. Boston is 29th. Baltimore is 23rd. 44:15 - Meanwhile, not only as the Astros and Braves not scoring, but they are also have the bottom of the league in steals. After being among the leaders in first half steals, the Brewers are mid-pack in the second half. The Giants are the opposite – last in the first half but mid-pack in the second half. --- Pick6 Download the new DraftKings Pick Six app and use code RWPICKS.

Six Stretch-Run Stars
6 players that can push you over the top for the stretch run, including how the revamped Jays look following their trade deadline deals. --- 00:00 - Fred Pod 8-13 01:30 - Players to mention 02:00 - Junior Caminero, 05:30 - Christopher Morel 06:45 - Jordan Walker, 09:40 - Zebby Matthews, 12:00 - Seth Lugo 14:45 - Kerry Carpenter, George Kirby 19:40 - Lane Thomas 22:30 - MLB has played exactly one month of games since the start of second-half play. Here are some stats that are relevant for fantasy discussion . 23:50 - Luis Robert leads the Majors by a wide margin with 40 SO. Given his second half slash line (.123/.155/.210) and lackluster offense, is it reasonable to bench him? Maybe he has mailed it in? 27:20 - Aaron Judge ranks first in walks by a wide margin (27). He also ranks second in OPS. I still go back to all the projection systems, who told us to draft him in the top-5. Do we need to learn a lesson about overrating injury history, especially with hitters? 35:15 - Jake Burger has already hit more homers in the second half (12) than the first half (10). He is also among the second half strikeout leaders, if that matters. He is the leader in second half homers. 36:30 - Xavier Edwards places first in steals (13). Hitting .360. Have the Marlins found a piece to the puzzle? 41:50 - Vladdy leads the Majors in second half OPS (.1475). Hitting .464 with more walks than strikeouts. Is this a hot streak, or is Vladdy finally turning the corner? Along with Judge, Vladdy is another player who the projection systems told us to draft ahead of his ADP. 48:15 - Tanner Houck 5.48 ERA, 1.70 WHIP, 12:12: K:BB in 23 IP. 51:40 - Elly De La Cruz ranks second in strikeouts but first in steals and is batting .310. Which shows that nothing can stop Elly from being valuable. 53:30 - Ryne Nelson 3.19 ERA, 1.03 WHIP, 36:9 K:BB. Spencer Arrighetti 3.60 ERA, 0.96 WHIP, 36:6 K:BB. Spencer Schwellenbach (3.12 ERA, 0.88 WHIP, 36:2 K:BB). These three SPs are second in SO, behind Blake Snell. --- Pick6 Download the new DraftKings Pick Six app and use code RWPICKS.

First-Half / Second-Half
Fred Zinkie and Jeff Erickson try to find 2024 comps to the 2023 First Half / Second Half heroes and bums. Who is this year's Julio Rodriguez Who will be the young slugger that figures it out, like Tristan Casas was last season? --- 00:00 - First Half / Second Half Podcast 01:30 - Who is this year’s Tristan Casas ? A young slugger who has a blah first half and then breaks out in second half. 02:10 - Micheal Busch. He was always powerful in the Minors (59 HR in 2022-23). Outside of May, has hit for average (albeit with a high BABIP). The power will play eventually. With the Cubs out of the race (kind of), he will play. 05:45 - Who will be this year’s Julio Rodriguez ? An underwhelming star who gets on track in the second half. 08:20 - Alternate - Pete Alonso. His HR/FB% is a career low. Average exit velocity if down, but only slightly. Warm weather, Mets hanging around in the race….I’ll say that he hits more than 20 HR after the ASB. 14:45 - Who will be this year’s Cal Raleigh ? A catcher who becomes a game-changer by hitting for elite power in the second half. Mitch Garver. Has quietly his 6 homers since June 6. May not hit for average, but he producing plenty of fly balls. K rate and BB rate each improved a bit in June too. 19:15 - Who will be this year’s CJ Abrams ? A player who catches fire on the basepaths in the second half. 19:50 - Wyatt Langford. Ranks 11th in baseball in average sprint speed. Stole six bases in June. Rangers fall out of the race and let Langford learn to steal bases in the second half by running as much as he wants. 23:45 - Who will be this year’s Alex Verdugo or Nolan Arenado ? A veteran who falls apart in the second half. 25:45 - Cody Bellinger. I know his first half wasn’t great, but Statcast suggests it should have been even worse. Cubs fall out of the race and he’s unplayable in the second half. 33:40 - Who will be this year’s Freddy Peralta ? A skilled starter who underachieves in the first half and thrives in the second half. 34:15 - Pablo Lopez. Similar to Peralta, he pitches for a solid team and has great SO skills. Just needs some decent luck. 40:15 - Who will be this year’s Lucas Giolito ? A starter who is playable in the first half and destroys teams in the second half. 41:05 - Jose Berrios. This may be cheating, because it has already happened, but I’m not sure anyone has noticed. His season-long numbers (3.63 ERA, 1.12 WHIP) still say, “start me every week”. The Jays season is already over, and things will be ugly for starters like Berrios when they go with a full youth movement down the stretch. 44:40 - Andrew Abbott 46:45 - Who will be this year’s Adbert Alzolay ? A reliever who takes hold of the closer’s role in the second half. 47:20 - Jeff Hoffma

Did We Draft Starting Pitching Too Early?
Jeff Erickson and Fred Zinkie look at data from 2024 and identify bankable trends. Where are our category leaders coming from? Did we draft starting pitching too soon? --- 00:00 - Fred Pod 6-4 00:30 - Overall data from 2024 (as of the start of play this week) 01:30 - 4 of the top-20 pitchers in ERA were drafted in the top-100 07:00 - 12 of the 19 pitches with 75 SO were drafted in the top-100 09:00 - 6 top the top-15 pitchers in WHIP were drafted in the top-100 11:30 - There are so many starters who have are sitting on waivers in most leagues and have an ERA around 3.50 and a WHIP around 1.15 (Ryan Weathers, Jake Irvin, Trevor Williams, Kyle Gibson etc.). Bailey Falter was available on Sunday in most of my 15-team leagues. He has a WHIP under 1.00! 13:30 - Are big bids on pitchers like Christian Scott ill-considered? 16:45 - Trevor Williams on IL 21:00 - 10 of the top-13 hitters in homers were drafted in the top-100; 5 of the 11 hitters who are batting .300 were drafted in the top-100; 10 of the 12 hitters with 40 runs scored were drafted in the top-100; 9 of the 15 players with 40 RBIs were drafted in the top-100 28:00 - Were we drafting pitchers too early in this “everyone can pitch” landscape? 31:45 - One more observation, of the 22 qualified pitchers with an ERA under 3.00, 15 have fewer strikeouts than innings. In this season of low BABIP and low HR/FB rate, is getting whiffs less important in run prevention? 39:00 - Should owners in trading leagues try to correct this by dealing effective pitchers for effective hitters? 47:00 - Finally, am I correct in believing that the pitcher injury crises was overblown (once again) in April? 55:00 - Monday notes: Kyle Tucker is day-to-day but should be fine…..Blake Snell is on the IL again…..Noelvi Marte will soon start his rehab assignment…..Brandon Marsh to the IL…..Robert Gasser is dealing with an elbow injury…..Connor Norby debuted…..Tyler Anderson continues to defy the odds….Matt Waldron pitched well again…..The Reds scored 13 at Coors…..Nolan Gorman has hit 8 HR in 14 games…..Mark Vientos had another great game…..MacKenzie Gore burned owners in his two-start week…..Kevin Gausman continues to stink…..Austin Hays hit his first two homers of the season…. --- Sorare Promotional Copy Build a Collection.

The Royals have been the second-best offense by OPS. Is this sustainable? Should we avoid using SPs against them? 31:30 - 2. The A’s, Angels and Giants have all been top-8 in OPS. The Dodgers are behind all of them. And even though Blue Jays fans want to trade all the hitters, they are above average in May OPS. 39:00 - 3. Short baseball games in Chicago right now, as the Cubs and White Sox are the bottom-2 teams in May OPS. 46:00 - 4. Only one team has been bottom-5 in OPS and ERA in May.

Is he ready to help fantasy teams?… 20:40 - Fred’s free agent additions 23:30 - Apparently Elly De La Cruz is good after all…. 26:00 - In fantasy football, we see Zero RB. Could we see Zero SP in NFBC leagues next year, where managers draft 5-6 stud hitters and a couple closers before diving in and selecting 8-9 starters in the next 10-12 rounds? I know it’s too early to say that definitively, but we have some mid/late-round starters such as Tanner Houck, Sean Manaea, Shoto Imanaga, Garrett Whitlock etc. who are off to excellent starts. 33:30 - Chris Bassitt threw 115 pitches on April 9, but he will be fine since he throw 80 mph…. 36:30 - Royals start 46:00 - Worried about David Bednar after he gave up 4 runs today? 48:30 - George Kirby with another poor start… 52:00 - Ronald Acuna stole three bases, so he’s probably still good….. 54:00 - Reynaldo López 58:00 - Tyler O’Neill --- Vivid Seats Promotional Copy This MLB season, knock it out of the park with Vivid Seats and score great tickets to the biggest games of the year.

Adapting to the New Pitching Environment
Which pitchers in the new wave of starters can we trust? With the greater-than-usual attrition that we've had this spring, Fred Zinkie and Jeff Erickson have had to reach into a different pool of starters to fill their rosters, and will go over those players. Plus, we discuss the latest on Shohei Ohtani, Kevin Gausman, Paul Sewald and the Cardinals outfield. --- 00:00 - Shohei Ohtani. Doesn’t really matter if we believe him. Will there be a fallout that will impact his playing status? 08:15 - Kevin Gausman looked great on Monday. Back to being a 2nd round pick? 13:00 - Dylan Carlson is hurt and the Cards are running out of OFs. Lars Nootbaar took soft toss and is making progress. Victor Scott! 18:00 - Garrett Mitchell to IL. Joey Ortiz to 3B? Drop Mitchell? 21:00 - DLJM to IL. Is he worth waiting for? 25:30 - Paul Sewald to the IL. Kevin Ginkel time? 32:30 - Bryan Woo to IL. I don’t think that Emerson Hancock is a must-add, but he’s interesting. 36:15 - Justin Verlander to throw 2 innings of BP on Tuesday. 39:00 - All the new SPs. Because all the ones who were going in Rd. 24-30 in early March are now either being drafted earlier or are injured 41:15 - Max Meyer 45:00 - Ryan Weathers 48:45 - Jordan Hicks 50:50 - Casey Mize 52:20 - Jared Jones 54:30 - Ryne Nelson 58:15 - Bowden Francis 1:01:30 - Garrett Crochet, Tylor Megill, Luis Gil, Tyler Alexander. --- Fantrax Promotional Copy Sign up for Fantrax FREE today and you’ll be entered to win an Official MLB signed jersey from Vladimir Guerrero Jr. Simply visit this link to sign up today.

"War Stories" & History of RotoWire on Sirius Radio
Jeff Erickson and Chris Liss tell the story of how their wide reaching popular daily radio show began. The duo recalls war stories of getting fired, told they were boring by over-reaching program directors, and how they fought back to become one of the signature fantasy sports shows in the world.

Special appearances by Hall of Fame Fantasy Sportswriter, Scott Pianowski, Dalton Del Don (Yahoo Fantasy Sports), and Greg Ambrosius (Sports HubTech/ NFFC). All are regular guests on the RWFST program. This podcast is hosted, directed, and produced by long time super fan of the show, and RotoWire video editor, Alan Seslowsky.

Forks in the Road w/ Rob Silver
Shortstop, Closer or Catcher of your choice in the middle of the third round (you’ve started with a hitter and an ace in rounds 1-2) Does Rob hate Wander Franco? Will he draft Jazz Chisholm? You don’t have a closer yet. It’s the middle of the fifth round and Chapman and the other top guys are gone. Are you taking everyone’s favorite anointed ace, Dylan Cease, or are you taking Kenley/Will Smith/Romano? It’s late in the sixth round. You’ve got one starter and one closer and you loaded up on speed with your first three hitters. What player type are you eying up here? We’re at pick 95, early in the 7th round and you’re light on speed. Edman, Polanco, India and Varsho are all gone. You can take Yelich, Straw or the best player available on your board who doesn’t help with steals… Learn more about your ad choices.

Shane McClanahan gets call for Rays
Should we have bid more on Pavin Smith in MAIN? Does it matter, since we got Kyle Higashioka? Smith has been leading off for over a week, looks pretty good Alex Kirilloff batting fifth against righties, ninth against his first lefty Wednesday — has started six straight. Clay’s boy, Shane McClanahan starting Thursday against the A’s. The buzz surrounding Pedro Leon is mounting... How much longer can Cleveland wait on Bobby Bradley, and to a lesser extent, Daniel Johnson? Arizona somehow has by far the best wRC+ (155) in the majors against LHP, so this is another big test for Ryan Weathers. Jazz Chisholm to the IL, probably would have graduated with two more games. Cale Loken wants to know what our prediction is for Jazz in startup dynasty drafts next offseason Joel Steen wants a breakdown of Marco Luciano, whom he just acquired in a trade Dan Corrado: Any catcher targets/strategies in dynasty? What are we doing with Plesac — when’s the next dynasty update? Michael Patrick: Is it time for a rebuilder to give up on Willy Adames, Clint Frazier, or Nick Senzel and give the roster spots to players with more upside? J.Mac also wanted to know what to do with Senzel… The Ulysses Sect: Lux/Jazz/Solak ROS and long term? Patrick: Could we see Tristan Casas in Boston this year? Toolsy: Baddoo or Jarren Duran ROS?
