Hello and welcome to Rates and barrels. I'm sorry it is my voice, not the sweet dulcet tones of Derek Van Riper.

I'm sure there'll be other moments when you'll notice and non-smooth transitions and a general

blabbing of the mouth without Derek here to tell me to shut up. So I apologize ahead of time

for that, but I do not apologize for our guest today.

Really happy to have a longtime friend and co-manager of our Devils Rejects team, James Anderson from Rotterwire on. How are you doing, James? Welcome to the show. I'm doing great. Thanks for

having me, buddy. I'm still rebelling in last night's Buckswin,

but this is going to be fun. Yeah, yeah. I enjoy watching them.

Janus, with the blood streaming down in his face, just taking on the whole team.

I love, like, you know, those little, like, finger rolls over three people.

It's pretty amazing.

But here on the baseball front, we're going to talk a little bit about the minor leagues.

James does a great job covering prospects, along other things.

It's not just prospects, but we'll talk about

how

I'll finish first and he'll finish

second in labor this year.

Maybe a little bit

of that. We'll talk about some movers

on his rankings

that will be coming out shortly.

He does some really

nice, really deep dynasty rankings and prospect rankings that will be useful.
