Summary

Eno and DVR comb through several rosters ahead of the Trade Deadline in search of current backups and upper level minor leaguers with paths to more playing time in the near future. Plus, they consider the implications of Mike Trout's injury on the Angels in the future, and the importance of the A's hitting on the likely trades of Frankie Montas, Sean Murphy and Ramón Laureano.

Welcome to rates and barrels.

It's Thursday, July 28th, Derek Van Riper, Enoceris.

0:20.6

I'm shook by the intro video not launching when it was supposed to for the YouTube version of the show.

0:27.3

So tech issues almost certain to follow, given that hot start that we're off to.

0:32.0

On this episode, we're going to take a look at some players who are likely to be moved to trade deadline,

0:36.4

and then look at the depth charts behind those players to find out who those winners and, you know, significant playing time

0:42.7

risers might ultimately be because the unique timing of this year's trade deadline puts

0:48.5

us into position we can actually pursue those players on Sunday in a lot of leagues.

0:53.5

They could be big winners playing time-wise between Monday and Tuesday.

0:57.9

Deadlines 6 o'clock Eastern on Tuesday.

1:00.5

And we, as a group of fantasy players, could actually end up saving a lot of fab if we can,

1:06.4

with some accuracy, predict who these winners are going to be.

1:10.0

So what do you think our success rate could be at something like this, you know?

1:13.7

2 to 5%.

1:14.9

1:23.5

I think if you play in monol leagues and in deeper mixed leagues, there's a little more there.

1:27.6

There's a list we created. There's one name that I'm kind of excited about, maybe two. Yeah, so stay tuned for the whole hour as we give you one name that might help you. Really? Really? Oh man, we tease that one well. Yeah, we really did. There's other stuff to talk about, too. The Mike Trout injury. There's an Andrew Benintendi trade, which is kind of what led us to start down this path. So Andrew Benintendi on the move, he goes to the Yankees. I just have a quick Benintendi question for you. Do you have interest in him in some shallow leagues where he wasn't previously rostered? Because of the lack of homers and steals, even though the slash line's been really good,

2:03.3

he's been very productive as an offensive player, I think you could probably find him on

2:07.1

the wire in some at least 10 team leagues out there, especially leagues only start

2:10.5

three outfielders, moving into a much more hitter-friendly environment as a left-handed bat,
