2022 Third Base Preview Mar 03, 2022

Show notes

D.J. (@djshort) and Drew (@drewsilv) discuss their feelings about the cancellation of Opening Day before previewing the third base position for the 2022 season in fantasy leagues. The top of the board is obvious (J-Ram, Devers, Machado, Riley), but it gets rough after that. Is there hope for rebound candidates like Anthony Rendon, DJ LeMahieu, and Matt Chapman? Is Adalberto Mondesi worth the risk? Can Ke'Bryan Hayes and Alec Bohm add some excitement to the position? They break it all down, and much more.
