0:00.0	Blake Snell finally signs.
0:03.2	Closers are dropping like flies.
0:04.8	Tau Wars happened and I drew my slot in the NFBC main event.
0:08.5	All that more on the RodeWire Fantasy Baseball podcast.
0:26.6	Welcome everybody. Welcome, everybody to the RotoWire Fantasy Baseball podcast.
0:27.9	Jeff Erickson here with Fred Zinke.
0:31.4	As always, we are brought to you by fan tracks and rival fantasy.
0:34.3	Fred, it's a wild news cycle right now.
0:37.0	I was traveling back from Tout Wars, and every time I get on a plane,
0:41.5	something wild happens this time. It was Geron Duran. We'll talk him in a second.
0:44.8	Actually, we're going to open Duran Duran in the closers and then we get to the Blake Snell signing. But first, Joanne Duran goes on, is going to go on the IL with an oblique injury,

I think that's, you know, that's, you know, we can quibble. If it's a month of May, I'm going to have to
1:28.0	reduce his projection more. I've got them currently at 54 games, 58 innings, 31 saves, but if he misses an entire month, that's going to have to change. In fact, it's going to change now. In fact, I've already decided that I have to lower that value a little bit more. So yeah.
1:44.8	And that's a shame because he was a top five closer.
1:47.3	And this is our second top five closer,
