Summary
It seems as though we're getting closer to a baseball season with the latest proposal from Ken Rosenthal (4:08). We're looking at an 80-game season with 45-50 players on a given roster. How does that change your league? Should you play doubleheaders in H2H formats? How do you structure the Fantasy playoffs? ... Last week Javier Baez was left for dead and we need to get to the bottom of it (19:32). Where does he excel? Is he as risky as other shortstops being drafted in his range? ... Moving on to our Statcast stats, C.J. Cron is elite at barrelling up baseballs (32:35). Does it matter? ... Vladimir Guerrero Jr. had the hardest hit ball in 2019 (34:52). How can he reach his full potential? ... Justin Smoak and Danny Jansen seem like they're due for massive positive regression (41:15). Should they be targeted in deeper leagues? ... Lastly, how should keeper leagues handle big trades (56:55)? ... Email us at fantasybaseball@cbsi.com.
