Hey everybody, welcome to the latest edition of the Rotoire Fantasy Baseball podcast brought to you by fan tracks.

Jeff Erickson here with Fred Zingy.

Today we're going to focus on park factors.

And some park factors you may not know, you may have a misconception about.

Fred has done a lot of the work the legwork

digging into it there uh so we'll be following his lead on a lot of this uh before we jump into

park factors though Fred we got some news and some bad news because hey it's this is what we do we have

bad news Pablo Lopez had to cut short a session today uh Pain in his elbow, scheduled for an MRI.

Yeah, definitely, well, bad news anytime.

A pitcher has to go for an MRI, especially a pitcher who made just 14 starts last year.

So that makes it maybe just a little bit worse.

So, I mean, we'll see if you're drafting in the next day or two.

It's kind of crummy news, which I start the Tau Wars draft and hold tomorrow.

But I think we'll get Pablo Lopez news before we would get to the point of the draft where, you know, where he would become an option.

So, you know, we'll see what they have to say.

But basically, I think any time, okay, so anytime a pitcher goes for an MRI on February 16th,

you can guess that he'll be on the EIL on opening day, right?

Like there'll probably be some sort of shut down.

He'll be behind the other pitchers.

Blah, blah, blah.

Like a best case scenario now on Pablo Lopez is that he misses the first, say, two weeks.

Best case, he misses the first two weeks this season.
