    Episode 337: Shortstop Positional Preview

    We talk about the top-heavy talent pool at the six this week. If you don't grab one of the top six shortstops, you're probably OK. But if you wait until after pick 200, there's not nearly the depth that there is at second base. So be careful out there! Flags Fly Forever is a Baseball Prospectus podcast.

    Episode 336: Third Base Positional Preview

    Tricky draft pool at third base this year. Beyond your obvious superstars (Ramírez, Caminero) it gets dicey, but there are a surprising number of players that give you more than just power. But, if it's power you want, we are both big Eugenio Suarez fans, particularly since he is going back to Cincinnati. Hopefully all that Skyline chili can keep him powered up!  Flags Fly Forever is a Baseball Prospectus podcast.

    Episode 335: Second Base Positional Preview

    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.  Flags Fly Forever is a Baseball Prospectus podcast.

    Episode 334: Catcher Positional Preview

    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.  Flags Fly Forever is a Baseball Prospectus podcast.

    Episode 333: First Base Positional Preview

    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.
