Welcome to Rates and Barrels. It's Friday, June 16th. Derek Ben-Riper, Al Mellke, you are here getting ready for another weekend of pickups.

And on this episode, we have a couple of prospects that have come up this week, one on the

pitching side, one on the position player side.

We'll talk about a few other players coming off of injuries, demotions, all sorts of big

news from the week, and some recent strong performances that might be pushing players back onto rosters in more shallow formats as well.

And as we do each and every week, we'll take a look at some two-start pitchers and some streamers as well.

So it's the weekend preview episode of Rates and Barrel.

So that's what I like calling it, the weekend preview.

It's not a fab podcast. It's a weekend preview. Al, we begin today with the Dodgers promoting Emmett Sheehan.

He's going to pitch against the Giants for his big league debut on Friday. He's making the leap

straight from AA to the big leagues. Dodgers have had a lot of injury issues in that rotation.

And Sheehan's been one of the biggest prospect risers of the season.

This is a guy that I think was outside of most analyst's top 100 lists and has jumped on some midseason lists into like the top 25 range.

He's really just taken off in this organization.

Interesting thing I saw in the player outlook for Emmett Sheehan.

I was reading his Rotowire player outlook.

I love the profiles they do.

They used to have that magazine with the big A to Z section.

They still write those great player outlooks on all the player pages.

Emmett Shean's fastball has an attack angle that is very similar to Joe Ryan.

So if you remember Joe Ryan, when he came into the big leagues, had like a 92, 93 mile hour fastball, and it worked really well because of its deception.

It has that sort of illusion that it's rising.
