    Episode 335: Second Base Positional Preview
    Jan 30 2026
    Second base looks pretty barren at the top--only three players being drafted in the top 100!--but turns out to be a deep and diverse pool once you get beyond the first six or seven rounds. We look at players we are variously hot and cold on for 2026, and we talk strategy--particularly the pressure to draft a second baseman who can offer significant speed.

    Episode 334: Catcher Positional Preview
    Jan 23 2026
    Catcher? Is interesting? For fantasy? Yes, it's true--it is a more interesting and varied position than in recent years, largely because the position has gotten much younger. Mike and Jon discuss whether (and which of) these young backstops are reason for excitement or caution. Also, a mild disagreement on Cal Raleigh, but we both think he's pretty awesome and should continue being awesome.

    Episode 333: First Base Positional Preview
    Jan 16 2026
    We are off and running with our 2026 positional previews, starting at first base. We talk about most of the cold corner performers that you are likely to draft this season, and we mostly (but not always!) agree. First base looks different than it did a decade or two ago (a 30-steal guy? really?) but is still one of the deeper positions in the fantasy landscape.

    Episode 329: The My Bloody Valentine of Fantasy Baseball Podcasts
    Jun 1 2025
    Hello strangers! After a two-month hiatus, Flags is back. I'm sure the anticipation was not nearly at the level of the follow-up to My Bloody Valentine's epochal 1991 release, Loveless, but Jon tortures that analogy anyway.

    We do a general check-in of things at the thirdway point of the season, zeroing on the starting pitching leaderboard, as well as discussing the many call-ups and how one might budget FAAB accordingly should you want to add one.

    Episode 328: Starting Pitching Overview and Strategy
    Mar 23 2025
    Instead of a granular, detailed look at the starting pitching tiers, we take a 50,000-foot view of the landscape, identifying three large "chunks" of the draft: the early rounds (1-6), the middle rounds (7-18), and the late rounds (19-end). We tackle some strategic questions, based on the latest ADP data from NFBC Main Event drafts (though what we discuss applies broadly to most leagues).

    We discuss how essential it is, now more than ever, to enter your draft or auction with a plan for starting pitching.
