Welcome to Ritz and Burrell, it is Friday, February 20th, Derek Van Riper here with Inoceris.

On this episode, we get you caught up on some key news items ahead of the weekend. And we have three more team previews to break down. And we have a lot of help with them. We have the Cubs. Sahad of Sharma joins us first to talk Cubs here in a little while. Ctrent Rosecrans drops by to talk Reds with us. and Dennis Lynn will join us later in the show to talk Padres.

Our team proves with the beatwriters slightly different than the non-beat writer ones because we didn't go through and say,

underrated hitter, underrated pitcher, underrated reliever, but over the course of those conversations, you will find players that I think we generally like a lot more as a result of

their circumstances. Be prepared for some very nice things said about Michael Bush in particular

in that Cubs preview. And Trent has a legit prospect sleeper, a guy I hadn't heard of before.

A real sleeper. Like a guy that, when he said the name, I had to look, and he's on some prospect list,

but he's far enough down where there's a very good chance in your keeper in dynasty leagues,

he will be available.

So like a true dynasty sleeper to come in this episode as well.

But getting caught up on some news.

Most importantly, Eno, how are things looking in your listener league slow draft?

I'm actually on the clock right now, which is terrible.

I'm sorry.

You're burning clock?

I couldn't make it happen in time.

I had the double tap.

I have the side.

What I have been doing is channeling my inner DVR.

One thing that you like about the turn is, you know, doubling up on positions.

And since I'm on the clock, I can tell people I'm about to double up on starting pitchers.

I doubled up early on on the second and third rounds with Treyer Turner and Nettow, doing some damage to the shortstop position.
