Welcome to Rates and barrels. It is Monday, April 12th. Derek Van Riper here with Enoseres. Eno is back, and we've got a lot to talk about.

We've got an interesting report from Derek Rhodes looking at early season injuries. They are up.

So how are we dealing with that across all of our leagues, aside from just being generally frustrated by players not being able to play in the early parts of the season.

We'll talk about a few players we might actually be worried about as we move into the fourth series of the season for most teams.

And, of course, the temptation to make moves is real, but we want to be aware of what's going on and impatient,

thinking about the factors that led us to these players in the first place,

kind of weighing those appropriately against the new information. So we'll talk about how to do that.

Got a lot of great mailbag questions to get to on this episode as well. Welcome back, Eno, some good news.

Britt did not replace you as the human soundboard for the show. She attempted to do the breaking

news thing and I give her a 10 out of 10 for trying, but it was not the most successful attempt

to replicate one of your skills. The word skills there is doing a lot of work. A lot of work.

But it is good to be back.

I've been literally to the Grand Canyon and back.

It was a poorly timed vacation.

But the kids, man, my mom has been vaccinated.

She hasn't seen the kids in a year.

And we just jumped in the car and tried to take as few risks as we could.

And it was all outdoors.

We saw painted desert.

We saw petrified forest, Joshua Tree, and got all the Ranger badges along the way.

Lake Havasu for a little 95-degree desert watering hole kind of situation there at the end.

And I guess I'm back.
