Summary

Athletics Osvaldo Bido will be in the rotation, right? Roster Resource has him at AAA for some reason… Arizona Nowhere for Jordan Lawlar to play? Atlanta Will they really go into the year with one of Ian Anderson, AJ Smith-Shawver or Bryce Elder in the rotation? Baltimore Probably nowhere for Heston Kjerstad or Coby Mayo to play as things stand, but they’re both seemingly a trade or an injury away. Any current interest? Boston More PA, Kristian Campbell or David Hamilton? Chicago Cubs Draft Ben Brown now and hope he wins the fifth starter’s spot? Chicago White Sox Likelihood Edgar Quero, Colson Montgomery, Bryan Ramos make Opening Day roster? Cincinnati Noelvi Marte, Rhett Lowder ticketed for Triple-A? Cleveland How much will Jhonkensy Noel play? Colorado What will Jordan Beck’s role be? Detroit Should we expect Jackson Jobe to make the Opening Day rotation? Houston Who intrigues us most as an OF flyer? Chas McCormick, Jake Meyers, Zach Dezenzo, Jacob Melton, Taylor Trammell… Kansas City Intrigued by any of Kris Bubic, Alec Marsh, Kyle Wright, Michael Loreznen? Los Angeles Angels Seems pretty straightforward. Are we tracking what Reid Detmers and/or Caden Dana do in spring training? Los Angeles Dodgers Who plays more, Hyesong Kim or Andy Pages? Miami Derek Hill is going to play more than people think – one of the rare Roster Resource mess-ups currently Milwaukee What will Caleb Durbin’s role be to start the year? Minnesota Who will be the fourth and fifth starters? Simeon Woods Richardson, Chris Paddack, David Festa, Zebby Matthews New York Mets More playing time in 2025, Ronny Mauricio or Luisangel Acuna? New York Yankees How confident are we in Jasson Dominguez playing every day? Philadelphia Worried about Bryson Stott’s lineup placement and platoon when the team is at full strength? Pittsburgh What will Nick Yorke’s role be? San Diego Team Top-Heavy, everybody who can play will be playing San Francisco Will Hayden Birdsong make the Opening Day rotation? Seattle Top-heavy depth chart, presumably not done adding. Any interest in their cheap guys, Ryan Bliss, Dominic Canzone, Tyler Locklear, Austin Shenton? St. Louis Will Michael McGreevy open the year at Triple-A? Tampa Bay Will Richie Palacios or Jose Caballero play enough for us to use them? Texas Will Kumar Rocker be in the Opening Day rotation? Toronto Addison Barger, Ernie Clement, Orelvis Martinez or a player not currently on the roster as starting 3B? Washington Is Jacob Young really going to play every day in CF again?

0:00.0	Welcome to the Roadwire, Fancy Baseball Podcast.
0:04.1	I'm your host, James Anderson, and got a really fun episode today.
0:08.7	I just wanted to mention that this is a great time to subscribe to Roadwire.
0:15.1	Got a ton of prospect outlooks up on the site, working on my top 400 update to the prospect rankings,
0:22.9	which will be live a week from today. So definitely subscribe to the site if you haven't already.
0:29.6	But today's guest is Casey Bubba, my buddy, Brian Entracken, and we're going to go through all 30
0:36.4	teams and talk about some potential
0:40.3	undervalued players or overvalued players.
0:43.9	We're going to be referencing roster resource quite a bit, which is a great product.
0:50.0	It's a free product over on Fangraphs, which is why we're referencing it because so many drafters look at the depth charts on roster resource. So if we see something on there that we don't agree with, that might be an area where you could capitalize in the market and don't want to besmirch roster research at all. It's a great product, but we're just kind of looking at small areas where we might be able to capitalize.
1:10.2	But first of all, Bubba, how you doing? Thanks for joining me. I'm doing well. Thanks for having me. Always a pleasure chatting with you outside of the time we get to hang out in Arizona. So this is great. And this is kind of a fun one because Roster Resource is a phenomenal tool, as you mentioned. but there's always a couple that make your head kind of scratch and that's where you can dig in and maybe find an advantage in your
1:31.3	drafts yeah yeah i like to do this this episode around this time every year and it just it helps me
1:38.1	kind of get a sense of am i right about the way i think something's going to play out that type of thing
1:43.0	so um let's just start with the athletics.
1:46.9	We're going alphabetical, and since they are now just the athletics, we will start with them.
1:53.3	My one area to discuss here is just that Osvaldo Bido Bido, who had a really solid run for them last year in the second
2:04.3	half in the rotation. He was actually someone you could use in mixed leagues. They do not,
2:10.5	a roster resource currently does not have Osvaldo Bido projected to make the athletics rotation.
2:17.4	They've got them opening there at AAA, although there is actual reporting in a semi-recent
2:26.2	mining the news that at least suggests to me that Bido is kind of penned into that rotation
2:33.4	to start the year.
2:34.8	I did take Bido very late in a recent draft champions.
