He is the man behind the ATC projections, the host of the Beat to Shift podcast.

You can find his work over on Fangraphs, Roto Baller, and I'm sure I'm probably missing

something else.

Ariel Cohen, what's going on, buddy?

Hey, what's going on, guys?

Appreciate you hopping in.

You can follow him on X at ATC and Y, and he is perfect for this upcoming draft head-to-head points because he is your

defending Tout Wars head-to-head points champion. But that's only because I'm not in the league

anymore. That's right. And Chris is actually in that league. So we'll see him on Sunday.

But Frank wanted two years, you wanted two years in a row, right, Frank? Yeah. You're like a Talwar's legend because of that. I figured I'd give Ariel Cohen a shot here and so I left the league. Well, we've, ooh, we have one between the two of us, four out of the last six years in town. Oh, yes, yes, we like that. All right, the draft is up and running, and the first overall pick was Shohei Otani. No surprise there. I'm going to go ahead and take my guy. I did not plan this. The draft order was randomized an hour before the draft. So I think I've been picking top three in the two drafts that we've done so far today.

So not on purpose, but I did draft Aaron Judge here.

Ariel Cohen is picking third and Scott is picking at six.

And we will get into the picks in just a second.

I do want to remind everybody of the format here.

This is the standard 12-te-to to head points on ESPN, scoring a

little bit different than CBS. It's one point for each of a run scored total base RBI walk

and steal minus one for a hitter strikeout. So on CBS, two points for a steal minus half a point

for a strikeout here on ESPN, only one point for a steel minus a full point for a strikeout here on ESPN only one point for a steel

minus a full point for a hitter strikeout on the pitching side it's three points per inning

pitched one for a strikeout two for a win five for a save two for a hold minus one for a hit

or walk aloud minus two for an earn run and loss. So a little bit different there.

You're underselling it.
