Segment 1 – Review Tim’s LABR Draft
Fantasy Football Baseball Basketball and DFS | RealTime Fantasy Sports
Segment 2 – News and Notes
1.Zack Wheeler might not have much, if any, time, as he’s being targeted for a debut on April 9th. He hasn’t risen too much in ADP, likely as TOS has proven challenging to work through. He went in the early part of the eighth round in LABR. Thoughts on how to handle Wheeler this season?
2.What did you think of Tatsuya Imai debut? He averaged 93.3 MPH with his fastball.
3.I’m sure we will discuss Josh Hader in the next segment, but there is no timetable yet for him to start throwing. How are you handling Hader this season? He went in the 11th round in LABR, so people seem concerned.
4.MLB.TV has changed – I’ll explain.
Segment 3 – Closer Report
1.The Closer Report was relatively stable until the trade deadline and then became volatile in August. Looking at the board, do you see a stable closer board this season, or is it just too hard to predict?t?
2.We will go through each team and discuss the closer situation.
3.What are your five sleepers for saves this season?
4.Do you have a couple of deep sleepers that you could recommend?
