| 0:10.3 | I am Frank Sample, Joy, by Chris Towers. |
| 0:13.1 | Let's talk overvalued fades based on early ADP. |
| 0:17.2 | And Chris, we will start off with you. |
| 0:18.8 | James Wood, ADP of 30.5, the 10th outfielder off the board. |
| 0:23.9 | He struggled mightily in the second half of the season. |
| 0:27.2 | Yeah, and you should generally look at full season numbers |
| 0:30.6 | rather than trying to figure out, ah, the second half is who he really was. |
