Summary
Today on the show we're recapping a 12-team Roto auction we did on Friday but first, we have lots of news and notes (2:32)! Yordan Alvarez and Jose Urquidy have been placed on the 10-day IL. Is it Kyle Tucker time again? Also, with Buster Posey opting out will we see Joey Bart? ... Aroldis Chapman has tested positive for COVID-19, which means Zach Britton will fill in as closer to start the season (10:51). Terry Francona is also toying with the idea of batting Francisco Lindor third and having Cesar Hernandez bat leadoff. The Orioles have interest in Yasiel Puig (13:25) and Cole Hamels is dealing with triceps inflammation, opening up the door for some of their younger options. We knew it would happen eventually but Vladimir Guerrero Jr. is moving over to first base (16:33). That helps the shallow first base position for Fantasy! ... Onto our 12-team Roto auction, what was the general strategy going on (21:51)? How did Scott and Chris plan to use their budget? Why did Scott regret winning Jose Berrios? ... Were there any specific players we wanted heading in (28:49)? ... Frank knew he was getting one of Trea Turner or Adalberto Mondesi while Scott wanted Jonathan Villar. ... How much did the highest-priced players go for (31:30)? Christian Yelich went for how much!? .. Which players were discounted for COVID concerns (40:05) and how much did they go for? ... Who did Scott wind up with on his team (42:37)? ... Email us at fantasybaseball@cbsi.com.
