Jordan Walker and Corvin Carroll are on the rise.

Fred and I will talk about that next coming up on the Rotowire fantasy baseball podcast.

Hey everybody.

Welcome to the Rotelwire Fancy Baseball podcast.

It is the ADP risers and job battles edition.

The focus on Jordan Walker and Corbyn Carroll.

As always, our podcast is brought to you by the good friends at Underdog and FanTracks.

We appreciate their sponsorship.

Fred Zinke, how are you doing?

I'm great.

I'm great. Couldn't wait to get a little break from real life and talk some baseball this afternoon. Always great to get a break from real life. For sure. Luckily for me, this is real life. I love it. It's the best way to have it. Yeah, it is. All right. So Jordan Walker is everybody's buzzy guy.

Last year it was, you know, we're going to make the comp right off the top because everyone's doing it. It was last year was Julio Rodriguez and Bobby Witt were the guys that were just skyrocketing up draft boards. You had to go earlier and earlier to get them. You know, we won't make the Jared Kelnick comparison from two years ago. but it you you know, he is the trendy prospect, the guy that was highly rated and is crushing it this spring. Yeah. And I think it's a, well, I guess there's still two questions. Like he seems to be answering the question of, is he major league? I guess he's not yet answering the question of, is he major league ready? Like, I'd have to look at which pitchers he's faced so far this spring, but I'm sure it's been a mixed bag.

So he's certainly showing strong signs that he's major league ready.

The next question is, do the Cardinals have a spot for him?

Right.

That's the big one.

I mean, from a fantasy perspective, like, he's only 20, but he really profiles as someone

who, you know, like is exactly what you want in fantasy baseball. Like last season, 119 games

in AA, 19 homers, 22 steals, 306 average, respectable strikeout to walk ratio.

Like he profiles as someone who will stuff the stat sheet.

And we talk sometimes about certain players who are good baseball players but are not as

good for fantasy because they're not big homer guys or they're not big base steelers or something.
