Summary
Finally some good hitters to talk about! Moving on from Catcher to First Base, we've got a lot of sluggers to discuss. Which 1B do we draft often (1:40)? Which ones do we avoid (8:55)? Freddie Freeman is actually underrated, Josh Bell is going too late and Anthony Rizzo is kind of boring but is he a good value in drafts? ... Overall strategy (16:16) and more 1B questions (22:04) including how strategy changes in different formats, which players are OBP standouts, how much to spend in auctions and how to sort out the Josh Bell/Jose Abreu/Paul Goldschmidt/Matt Olson tier ... Sleepers (30:05) including Yandy Diaz, breakouts (33:35) including Luke Voit and busts (38:40) including Rhys Hoskins. Also, could Cody Bellinger be a bust at #4 overall (43:35)? Then we go through ADP (49:05) and get into the deep league guys you need to know (55:00) ... Email us at fantasybaseball@cbsi.com
