in many cases we have a pretty good idea of who's going to be where players are going to rank for next year

0:07.1

but there's a lot of players that we're still litigating including garrick cole we'll discuss

0:11.1

that tonight on the roto Wire Fantasy baseball podcast.

0:30.5

Jeff Erickson here with Fred Zinky, and we are talking about players that can still move the needle for next year's drafts.

0:37.9

The concept is here, we're going to be focused mostly on the playoff teams.

0:41.6

And this week we'll talk about AL players and next week we'll focus on NL players.
