Summary

We have to start with the news on Luis Severino and Carlos Carrasco, plus the appeal of Ian Happ in mixed leagues. Then we get into our Third Base Preview (5:00) discussing the depth of the position. Is the depth actually a little deceiving? Yes and no, but mostly no! How does the depth of the position affect how we draft? And do we have an overall strategy when it comes to this position (10:50)? ... Players we draft often (17:05) and players we avoid (21:45) at 3B. Which category do Rafael Devers and Kris Bryant fit into? We talk about Jose Ramirez (27:05), the elite 3B that is most likely to be a bust (29:15), the 2019 surprises who could repeat their performances in 2020 (31:40) and more ... Sleepers (37:05), breakouts (40:00) and busts (42:42). What happened to Matt Chapman in the second half last season? What do we think about Vladimir Guerrero Jr.? Are we buying the Miguel Sano hype? Is Josh Donaldson too risky? And we have a complete ADP review (48:00) ... Email us at fantasybaseball@cbsi.com
