Baseball is back. Let's talk to the pros.

Welcome in everybody to fantasy pros. This is the fantasy baseball podcast and it's V. Joey P. Joe P. Zipia with me is insider the Welsh. That's right.

He's now an MLB insider because he's down there in spring training on the fields. He's shagging flies. He's getting tan and we've got a great guest for you today from CBS. My dude Frank Stanford is going to join us and today baseball is back when last we left you.

It was a somber tone. Paul Sporer and the Welsh were in a quite a dust up. It was very reminiscent of Jose Batista and Ruggedo door going at it. We didn't think baseball is happening. We've come back here this week now with a fresh attitude.

Are you going to say I took it on the chin? Okay. No, you're saying I take it on the chin. I'm Batista. I took it on the chin. I think not because you took it on the chin just because Paul Sporer was swinging.

Paul Sporer was swinging and he was basically didn't care what he was swinging. He was just swinging at the air just that nothing. He was he was swinging at the air and he was and he would say, good, you talk. And then he would swing again at you. And I felt like that's kind of why he has to be a door in this.

Not that you couldn't throw a punch. I believe you're a big strong guy. But anyway, we've got transactions to talk about. We got injuries to talk about. We have got draft day bargains to talk about Frank Stanford. I am so grateful to have you on the show. Everybody knows Frank is super famous.

He hosts obviously the fancy baseball today pod over at CBS. Frank, how are you feeling now that baseball is back?

Oh, relieved, but also overwhelmed. There is so much going on right now in the baseball world. So we're reacting to it in real time. All these trades, signings, tattoos, motorcycles, everything's going crazy right now.

But I'm happy to be here to my favorite people in the industry. And I really do mean that. I'm not just saying. Are you in the world?

Are you allowed to have that beard with that hat on? I thought there was a Yankee rule where you can't have that ruggy beard. I'm pretty sure you got to shave that off, Frank.

Honestly, I was growing it out until baseball was back. And now I just kind of like it. So you look kind of ruggy. I think you have Frank might be throwing the punches here. It's a fantasy pro sandwich with CBS in the middle. Got to love it. Love for you.

You kind of I do kind of see the ruggy thing he's got. Yeah, you see there. It's kind of ruggy. Yeah. And this is why you have to subscribe to the YouTube channel, fantasy pros, MLB channel, specifically because I feel like way takes the cones off the headphones off the hat, the beard, everything comes with it. It's like a whole thing. He just puts it on for the show. And he takes it off.
