0:00.0	Pitchers are dropping like flies, and it's auction strategy night here on the
0:05.4	Rotowire Fantasy Baseball podcast.
0:20.3	Hey, everybody. Welcome to the Rotowire Fantasy Baseball podcast. Jeff Erickson here with Fred Zinke. Our podcast is brought to you by fan tracks. Welcome everybody. Let's jump right into it. A lot of news. We woke up this morning to Lucas Gialito, probably being out for a good chunk of the season, if not all this season, Fred.
0:38.8	Yeah, I mean, disappointed. Well, I mean, Lucas Gialito wasn't like a pivotal draft pick, right?
0:45.1	He wasn't a super high draft pick last year coming off of 488 ERA, but 204 strikeouts last season.

1:33.0	Championship in the NFBC, and Gio Lido, when I think in the 18th round, let me double
1:39.1	check on that.
1:41.5	18th round, yep.
1:43.0	So 18.4 is where he went.
1:46.4	People were taking him.
1:48.0	Just not your first or second or third starter.
1:50.5	It was Boston's second starter, however, arguably first.
1:54.6	And that's the thing.
