The latest Rotowire roundtable baseball rankings are up on the site right now.

Here to help me discuss those is Eric Alterman, Rotowire's baseball editor coming up next on the

Rotowire Fantasy Baseball podcast.

Jeff Erickson here with Eric Alterman.

We are brought to you by the good folks at FanTracks all draft season.

If you've got a Dynasty League, fan tracks is great. They've got every single

player in their database. You could possibly imagine it's a great site. Tout Wars online drafts also

run on fan tracks. We heartily endorse them and we thank them for their sponsorship. I'm Jeff

Erickson here with Eric Alterman. Eric, how you doing? I'm doing well. Nice to get a chance to talk to you

again. We've been over some of our rankings just before we came out with the latest update on the radio. So good to touch base after it's all done over here. Yeah, exactly. And there's a lot going on. We are a week away from pitchers and cashers reporting. We have a bunch of free agents still out there.

I think it, you know, it's, you know, I thought that, you know, usually we'd be back to a normal like spring training cycle, you know, no lockout, anything like this.

I find it to be an unusual number of free agents out there given the labor piece, given that there's no other

extraneous circumstances to keep players from signing. Yeah, I think that's true. And how much do you

think that has to do with the fact that two of the top free agents on this year's market,

two of the top guys who are still out there as well, are just weird, right? Blake Snell and Cody Beliger,

both of them coming off of very good, but good in a weird way type seasons. I think if Blake

Snell was a normal defending Sigh Young, he would be signed by now on huge money, right? Normally,

if you hit free agency at the perfect time and you had a dominant season and it's a

dominant season of the type that people understand and of the type that people have seen before,

we know what happens. You get paid a ton and Snell may still get paid a time, but I don't think

it surprises me that it's taken teams another month to convince themselves that, you know what,

even though he did walk all those guys
