Welcome to the Rotowire Fantasy Baseball podcast brought to you by rival fantasy.

I'm your host James Anderson, and here with me this week is Big Johnny Stud, John Leggeza,

and I'll be moving averages.

John, how are you doing, buddy?

Man, this is just about the coolest thing ever.

I was not kidding when I told you Bucket List, man.

Anybody, you know, worth

their salt in this fantasy baseball thing of hours. They'd be on Rortowire. It's a blessing and

an honor, man. I'm flattered. But let's have some fun. And I think we're going to really,

I think we're going to do some drop a couple dimes today, though. Yeah, you know,

this is probably my least favorite time of the year to talk about fantasy baseball,

just because there's just so many false positives and so many false negatives out there.

And the sample size just isn't large enough.

I don't think it's large enough for me to talk with a ton of confidence about a lot

of prospects who are in the minors breaking out. I don't think we've seen enough to say that

some of these rookies we're going to talk about in the big leagues are not ready for the show.

And so it's kind of a dead time for me. And I wanted to have you on largely to kind of just talk about rookie the year odds because that's definitely kind of combining our two wheelhouses, I think.

But I really don't really want to talk about rejraft because this has just been a brutal week for me in terms of just making

terrible start sit decisions on the starting pitching side of things. It's just, it's just been

brutal. I feel like I did, did everything wrong. I could this week in the early going and it's only

Wednesday, but we're going to help people, like you said.

So what, you know, you wanted to talk first before we get into the specific player. It's just kind of about the art of building a ticket for these types of futures bets.
