Welcome to Rates and barrels. It's Friday, March 13th. Derek Van Riper here with Inoceris, ahead of Tau Wars weekend.

My Tout Wars draft already in the books.

I did the draft and hold from the comfort of my own home over the last few weeks.

But for those in New York, on St. Patrick's Day weekend again, it should be a good time putting together those AL and NL-only auctions and the mixed draft auctions as well.

Yeah, Midtown, St. Patrick's Day?

Disaster.

Well, they'll have some fun after the drafts.

Oh, always.

But the getting around Midtown Saturday night, St. Patrick's Day is a feat.

We get some fantasy baseball news you should know to get started.

We're going to talk about Ron's new book, Fantasy Reconstructed.

We've also got how Ron actually gets ready for a draft, what he brings to the draft

He can't bring everything. It'd be too many gadgets, too many books, too many laptops. So we'll talk about that and a few players that he likes for the 2026 season.

We're also going to look through the ADP data from the listener leagues.

Our friends over at the NFBC put that together for us.

All 80 of our drafts, Eno, are finally in the books.

So it kind of kicks off we're going to call the Our Guys series. We're going to have a bunch of different segments today being the first, where you look at the players that we all really like for a variety of different reasons. I was going through those numbers. There are some very unsurprising players that pop relative to other drafts, but a few that I did not expect to see. So we'll get to those

in just a little while. And we've also got fixers for draft day. Things go wrong during
