And then

the do do be

do bo-boo-t-t-t-t-t-t. Hello everybody and welcome to the sleeper and the bust. This is

episode number 168 and I can guarantee it and maybe I shouldn't jinx it but I'm going to guarantee

episode number 168 of the sleeper and the bust I am your host Nicholas Minix joining me

as usual on Sundays and perhaps for the last Sunday at least for a little bit maybe a couple of

weeks is Jason Colette Jason how are you doing today?

Oh not bad not bad.

Enjoyed a day of football with my youngest brother, split my time up between my brothers today, and

finish some yard work, ready to talk some baseball because I don't want to talk football.

I can hardly blame you. I can hardly blame you for that and it's good.

There's some interesting baseball.

It's actually shaping up not to be the most exciting race for wild card spots that folks may have anticipated

considering the number of teams that seem to be in it coming in but and that kind of

thing can obviously we know it can affect availability for our players.

I want to start with just with a team or with at least a player on a team who is

who is reign the thick of things is Billy Butler who's Ned Yost came out and said today after Butler had been in the lineup one Sunday and went two for four that he would be in the lineup every day for the rest of the season and I mean it's significant because the Royals are again

They're they're kind of basically tied for a while they're they're in the wild-car mix they have the edge they are tied with the

a's for a wild card spot so this is a guy who's been kind of struggling up and down

all season and playing time was intermittent until recently.

I think given like the quantity of potentially or likely

unavailable players, is this a guy that you would plug in?
