The Fantasy Baseball Beat - Injuries, Sleepers and Friends

Triple Play Fantasy Baseball Podcast Network

Chris Torres, Mike Carter, and Carlos Marcano discuss the recent news regarding the Arizona Diamondbacks' rotation, closing situation, and catcher Carson Kelly's injury with Nick Piecoro from AZ Central. They also have Dave Funnel from Fantrax, and they cover injuries with him on teams like the Red Sox, Rockies, Twins, and Yankees. Dave suggests looking at the player's injury history, off-season training, and plan when evaluating injuries. They also welcome Tim McLeod from Prospects361, who shares his thoughts on multiple sleepers picks for the fantasy baseball season: Alek Thomas of the Arizona Diamondbacks, Brice Turang, an outfielder with a late-round ADP of 399, and Scott McGough, a reliever with a late-round ADP of 457, as high-value late picks for fantasy teams

Tim suggests Koudai Senga and Masataka Yoshida as two high-value Japanese imports for the US fantasy scene. They discuss Japanese players Yoshida and Senga and compare their performance in the WBC. The host argues that while Yoshida is a great player, Senga has a higher upside and would be the better choice.

The crew ends up discussing sleepers of their own and they have Michael Smith who joins to share some sleepers like Brice Turang, Brandon Pfaadt, and Gavin Stone. They discuss Stone's 35% strikeout rate and his potential opportunity in Los Angeles.
