Summary

Last week featured heavy bidding on Christian Scott, and justifiably so, but Fred Zinkie suggests that this week will be nearly as big, highlighted by Kyle Manzardo. He and Jeff Erickson will discuss that, Shohei Ohtani somehow outpacing his high expectations and more! --- 00:00 - Dodgers Notes: 01:00 - Ohtani homered. You were there. I saw some people talking on Twitter about why we seem to draft him too low every year. It’s a good point…… 07:20 - Walker Buehler’s return was underwhelming but not terrible…. 10:45 - Alex Vesia gets a save. Does that matter?….. 14:25 - Reviewing debut of Kyle Manzardo 20:45 - Mason Black debuts 22:00 - I listened to you and Scott. It was definitely a big FAAB weekend. But we already know that next weekend will be big too. 24:30 - I can share some of my bids if you want. 26:45 - Christopher Sanchez / Spencer Turnbull 29:00 - Paul Sewald returns 30:15 - Cody Bellinger returns 32:30 - Justin Steele looked good in his return….. 34:00 - Simeon Woods-Richardson looks great but has had easy matchups….. 37:30 - Jack Leiter starting again this week 39:30 - Jonny DeLuca 41:30 - Wyatt Langford to IL. 45:30 - Parker Meadows is going to the Minors, which should help Wenceel Perez… 48:00 - A.J. Puk is coming back as a reliever. I wonder if he could become their closer 51:00 - Who else besides the Marlins get “Godfather Offers”? White Sox - Garrett Crochet 53:45 - Godfather Offer: Paste-eating Rockies - Ryan McMahon or nothing 59:30 - Godfather Offer: Los Angeles Angels - Taylor Ward, Reid Detmers --- Home Run Forecast Promotional Copy Home Run Forecast is offering a special for the start of the baseball season.

He was going to hold him back. My bad. Oopsies. Yeah, I think it was Sammy Reed who posted on Twitter. Like, why do we do this every year with Otani? Maybe it's not every year, but it feels like a lot of years.
1:11.3	And I do it.
1:12.1	So I'm to blame too. Where we underrate Otane, we don't draft him in the top half of the first round. And then he goes out and, like, look at what he's done. Like, he's got in the last three years going into this year, he's got two years with more than 40 homers and at least 20 steals.
