| 0:00.0 | it's Nick Kurtz week in Fab Bidding. |
| 0:04.0 | We look forward to being able to bid on him in Fab Bidding, |
| 0:06.3 | either on Thursday or Sunday, |
| 0:07.4 | depending on how your league plays it. |
| 0:08.9 | We'll also be talking about 10 polarizing pitchers, |
| 0:11.8 | maybe more. |
| 0:12.9 | All coming up next on the Roto Wire Fancy Baseball podcast, Jeff Erickson here with Fred Zinky. |
| 0:35.5 | We are brought to you by Vivid Seats. |
| 0:37.4 | Thanks for everybody for their patience for us getting started today. It's an interesting week. Last week we did 10 polarizing hitters. Turned out to be a little bit more than 10. Probably do the same today with pitchers. But also, we have tons of fab news to talk about and one significant injury as well. Fred, welcome. How is your weekend? How is your fab |
| 0:55.4 | going? Good weekend. Pretty quiet, fab vitting. I'm trying to think, picked up Michael |
| 1:03.8 | Lorenzen in a couple of leagues because he faces the Rockies at home this week. But that was cheap. |
| 1:09.8 | I picked up JT. Ginn in a couple of leagues. Did a hard G or a soft G on JT? It's gin. JT. Jinn, I picked up in a couple leagues because I like how he can get strikeouts and ground balls. But I don't have high hopes and they weren't big bits. Yeah. Okay. Well, very good. It is Nick Kurt's week. Let's jump right in on that one there because I think this is the biggest, you know, all apologies to Chandler Simpson. We'll talk about him momentarily. But all apologies to him, Nick Kurtz is as big a name as it gets. I think the biggest name we're going to see at least early on in terms of fab bidding targets. Yeah, I mean, if you factor in everything, like Roman Anthony is going to be |
| 1:50.2 | up at some point, but I think he's already rostered in a lot of leagues. So Kurt seems to be |

| 2:04.7 | On a team that seems to have really worked, I know it's been well discussed, but a team that has really worked to clear lineup space and for him by moving Brent record to the outfield. |
| 2:16.0 | So, you know, the A's really... We want this to happen. He's not up because someone got hurt or something like that. Like, they want him in the major. So I think... And the A's lineup, I have to say, if Kurtz plays well, the A's lineup is starting to look pretty decent. Yeah, it is. It is. And that's part of it there, too. The A's lineup is starting to look pretty decent. Yeah, it is. |
| 2:34.7 | It is. |
| 2:35.2 | And that's part of it there, too. |
| 2:37.1 | The A's lineup. |
| 2:37.9 | After years of having a terrible lineup. |
| 2:40.4 | Yeah. |
| 2:40.8 | It's not bad. |
