Welcome to Rates and Beryl's episode number 61. It is Tuesday, January 14th, 2020. Derek Van Riper here with Enosaris.

On this episode, we will discuss the potential adjustments that you might want to make to your projections for Astros hitters in 2020.

Eno wrote a piece about bounce back hitters last week that had a few bigger picture ideas that I wanted to discuss with him.

So we'll talk about that. And we'll get to some mailbag questions, including one interesting

one about hitter versus pitcher resource allocations and how that might vary in different

league formats, including draft and hold. Some big show news. We're going back to two episodes

per week starting next week. So Tuesday and Thursday afternoons, you should have us available for commutes and dog walks and all the things

you have in the later part of your day. We are available now on iTunes, Spotify, Stitcher,

pretty much anywhere else you want to listen to podcasts. If you're enjoying this show on a

platform that allows you to rate and review it. We'd really appreciate it if you took

first time. If you are welcome. If you're not already subscriber to The Athletic, you can get

Las Vegas.

You're there for the FSGA, the industry conference.

And I know it's hard to get away from anything when you're in Las Vegas to record a

podcast.

I hate Las Vegas. With the fire of a thousand burning suns.

It's got this, it just reeks of desperation and cigarette smoke and just like gaudy death.

You know, it's just gross.

You know, I'm a big Hunter S. Thompson fan.
