Summary

Which pitchers in the new wave of starters can we trust? With the greater-than-usual attrition that we've had this spring, Fred Zinkie and Jeff Erickson have had to reach into a different pool of starters to fill their rosters, and will go over those players. Plus, we discuss the latest on Shohei Ohtani, Kevin Gausman, Paul Sewald and the Cardinals outfield. --- 00:00 - Shohei Ohtani. Doesn’t really matter if we believe him. Will there be a fallout that will impact his playing status? 08:15 - Kevin Gausman looked great on Monday. Back to being a 2nd round pick? 13:00 - Dylan Carlson is hurt and the Cards are running out of OFs. Lars Nootbaar took soft toss and is making progress. Victor Scott! 18:00 - Garrett Mitchell to IL. Joey Ortiz to 3B? Drop Mitchell? 21:00 - DLJM to IL. Is he worth waiting for? 25:30 - Paul Sewald to the IL. Kevin Ginkel time? 32:30 - Bryan Woo to IL. I don’t think that Emerson Hancock is a must-add, but he’s interesting. 36:15 - Justin Verlander to throw 2 innings of BP on Tuesday. 39:00 - All the new SPs. Because all the ones who were going in Rd. 24-30 in early March are now either being drafted earlier or are injured 41:15 - Max Meyer 45:00 - Ryan Weathers 48:45 - Jordan Hicks 50:50 - Casey Mize 52:20 - Jared Jones 54:30 - Ryne Nelson 58:15 - Bowden Francis 1:01:30 - Garrett Crochet, Tylor Megill, Luis Gil, Tyler Alexander. --- Fantrax Promotional Copy Sign up for Fantrax FREE today and you’ll be entered to win an Official MLB signed jersey from Vladimir Guerrero Jr. Simply visit this link to sign up today.

0:46.5	thing you have to talk about. First thing that we're thinking about there. What was your take on
0:50.5	the story and his comments yesterday? well maybe working backwards i guess his
0:56.2	comments yesterday were exactly what i figured they would be right he said i don't know i didn't know
1:02.1	anything about it and i didn't have anything to do with it and i'm really disappointed that it happened
1:05.8	so like what else is he going to say so yeah exactly and that's that that that was my first take too is what else is he going to say? So, yeah, exactly. And that's, that, that was my first take, too, is what else is he going to say? Yeah. Um, it has to be self-serving. Unless it's one of those, you know, guys, I have a real problem. And I, I ask for your help. Nope. Nothing like that. So that this is the most obvious result. Yes. It would have been surprising to, yes, to me if he had said anything else, anything where
1:29.8	he even said like that he knew anything about, I didn't know that's what he wanted
1:34.4	the money for or something.
1:35.5	If he said anything like that, I would have been like, oh, wait a minute.
1:38.5	So anyways, he said what he needed to say.
1:41.3	And if I was a betting man, pun intended um I would say that he doesn't miss any
1:48.7	baseball games this year which is all that we really care about for fantasy that's the thing is
1:53.4	I'm not quite sure if there would be some fallout I mean it might not be in the term it might
1:58.3	might not be in the terms of discipline too it might also be in terms of it just you know holding his headspace there a little bit that that's a totally
2:07.4	different story yes could it hold his headspace uh maybe maybe we don't know it's so speculative
