everybody.

Everybody, welcome to the Roto Wire fantasy baseball podcast.

Jeff Erickson here with RotoWire's Eric Ultraman.

And I say Roto Wires, because Eric has been

with us for five years, but he is now full on, full time, Rotowire. Roto Wire for Life's Eric, Eric,

Eric, welcome the show. How's it going? Yeah, it's going well. Great to be, yeah, but finally,

officially features editor, exciting new title that I get to find out what that means as we go.

You basically get to edit and post everybody's article.

You'll get to like, unless I sneak one in on you there, you'll have to edit my stuff.

And you can tell me how brutally wrong I am on certain things.

So it'll be great.

Yeah, haven't yet done that, although I do edit Todd Zola pretty often, which is interesting. I get to co-host with him on the MLB Network, Sirius XM show we have. So getting to read his work multiple times a week and tell him when he's wrong. It's interesting, uh, interesting to edit somebody who's been at this, you know, decades longer than you have. Exactly.

Sometimes just a fresh eye. That's all it is. Oh, man. We like seeing that. And, you know, we have certain style points we do follow and things of that nature. But, and I appreciate you stepping in. Fred Zinke is at his kids hockey tournament out here in SoCal. Fortunately, we are not going to have an opportunity to meet up. but I'm actually leaving tomorrow night,

tonight actually,

uh,

tomorrow. SoCal. Fortunately, we are not going to have an opportunity to meet up. But I'm actually leaving tomorrow night, tonight, actually, tomorrow, overnight for my golf trip. So I don't get to meet up with Fred. He comes all the way out here and I don't see him. So bummer on that. But you're stepping in. I appreciate that. And, you know, I'm going to be covered a little bit of, you're going to be like in a couple of weddings later on this month. So I'm going to actually be playing your role with Todd on the MLB show.

Yep, straight from Eric to Erickson. I don't know if we ever work together regularly. We can work

that one in somehow. Yeah, I'm sure it'll happen at least once or twice more coming here.

Lots of stuff to talk about here. Lots of injury news.

I didn't mention in the outline, but Wander Franco had surgery.

He's out for a good chunk of time here, I think six to eight weeks.

Been a rough, rough fantasy season.
