The Hello and

welcome to episode 1242 of the sleeper and the bust.

It is Friday January 5th. I'm your host Paul Spoor.

joined this morning by Justin Mason. Justin, happy new year, my man, how you doing?

I'm here. I'm sick, but I'm here. You're're sounding all right a little bit better I know you've

been dealing with sickness now for a bit a week or so yeah yeah almost like probably

two weeks almost at this point it It's been kind of a brutal holiday season for me. And so I apologize to everyone for not being able to record a ton kind of over the holiday season just because

I've been kind of out and sick and unable to sustain long periods of conversations.

So but we're back we're back and we're gonna be like full bore here

absolutely it is time we're rolling out our rankings you know if you're listening

this on the day it comes out or the day we created, you'll see Justin's second

base rankings going up, my catcher's went up, we had first and outfield already up, we'll

continue those throughout next week, My starting pictures are finally coming.

And we're doing, you know, kind of our commentary on the rankings,

which I like.

I like that first set of rankings,

kind of lay out the pool, really talk about the players, basically a written version of what we do here with our

positional previews on the show, which we will continue first base today, but one, I guess,

silver lining of your sickness.

I'm obviously not happy that you were sick.

But it did create some time between episodes

and some moves happened.
