Welcome to the Roto Wire Fantasy Baseball podcast. I'm your host James Anderson, and this is going to be a big month for prospect content.

Got the first year player draft blueprint coming next week, the first year player draft rankings.

There's already over 150 players in there, but I'll be putting in the finishing touches on those. And then obviously

the big top 400 prospect rankings update will be January 15th. So almost a week from today.

But before we get into full on prospect content season over the next few weeks here,

I wanted to talk with my buddy, Dustin McComas,

about starting pitchers. We're going to do kind of a full-on starting pitching preview,

or at least kind of something that amounts to that over the span of an hour or so.

And my idea for this is that Dustin and I are going to look at the starting pitchers in groups of 15

in order of recent draft champions ADP. So we'll be referring to the first group of 15 as the

SP1s, the second group of 15 is the SP2s, etc. And for each group of 15, Dustin and I are going to

give a target and avoid. So looking forward to this. But Dustin first, how are you doing, man? Thanks for joining me. Yeah, I'm doing well, James. Thanks for having me. It's always a pleasure to jump on here. And especially talking about pitching, I feel like this is the group I've spent the most time with by far, prepping for the ongoing draft, for the ongoing draft season. But I'm happy to be here. Hope you had a great holiday. And, uh, looking forward to that, that, uh, first year player draft coverage. I, I don't do many dynasty leagues at all, but being the draft scouting junkie that I am, always looking through your content and kind of seeing where the prospects stack up and

follow in their their journey so you guys crush it over there and uh yeah happy to talk some

pitchers today yeah absolutely and uh yeah youtube 15 if you want to get 15% off rotorbar sub to check

out that first year player draft content um but we'll get things started here with these SP1s, Dustin.

Obviously, anyone who's listening to this show right now in January,

probably has a good idea of who the guys in the top 15 or so are among starting pitchers.

But just briefly, I'll say Tarek Schuble, Paul Skeen,

Gary Crochet, Christopher Sanchez,

Yoshinobu, Yamamoto, Chris Sale, Brian Wu, Logan Gilbert, Hunter Brown, Jacob de Grom, Hunter Green,

Cole, Cole Regans, Logan Webb, Max Reed, Blake Snell, R the 15 here.

Very tight cutoff there, a bunch of guys that had similar ADPs to Snell, but we're going
