25:00 10 takeaways from LABR and other early drafts
25:30 Fred was the only drafter who selected two SPs in the initial four rounds. Is the Pocket Aces strategy dead?
30:30 Why does no one want the batting average specialists? I thought that Jacob Wilson was the biggest value pick in the draft. Luis Arraez in Rd. 18 is so late too.
35:30 Why does no one believe in prospects? Has Scott Pianowski’s “avoid the shiny new toy” message finally won?!
38:00 Are we overpaying for poor save sources in a bad closer market? The RPs in Rd. 10-13 are a pretty questionable group, either in terms of skills or role.
42:00 Which Rd. 2 picks were the most surprising to you? I see a few.
45:00 Jeff had a steady stream of yellow at the bottom of your draft. Who were your favorites? And were there any that you instantly regretted?
49:30 Fred regretting Shane Bieber
51:15 Fred decided to use the unlimited IL spots to hoard players, much like MLB teams do. \
53:00 Jose Caballero - do you see a scenario where he remains in a full-time role when Volpe is ready to return?
55:15 We each drafted two players who will likely have a single-digit homer total. How many of these players can you roster without having a problem?
