Hello and welcome to the Keeper Cup podcast. I'm Chad Young, joined as always by Pete Ball.

And Pete, we are deep into draft season right now. It feels like I've got

I've had a number of slow drafts, I've had a number of live drafts, just lots of stuff

going on. How's the, how's the draft season playing out for you so far? It's been fun. I joined

another NFBC 50s thinking like this will hold me over until TGFBI, but the drafting has been so slow that now I'm doing both at the same time, which is kind of nice.

A lot of my home leagues, you know, my favorite leagues, they won't draft until later in the month.

So nice to have everything kind of spaced out.

normally I could just jump right in and be like, oh, take Max Muncie. But by the time we got to round 42 and the top player is Bart Flemington, I have no

idea what to tell you what to do.

So I do appreciate you, you know, carrying the slack there towards the end of that draft.

Yeah, our, our final few picks, just to give people a sense of just how deep

this went. Our final few picks, our last pick of the draft, I took Will Dion, who is a left-handed

pitching prospect with the Guardians, just a guy I like. Before that, we took Yumen Lin, who has got a little bit of chatter last year with the diamond
