Another Big FAAB Week Coming
Last week featured heavy bidding on Christian Scott, and justifiably so, but Fred Zinkie suggests that this week will be nearly as big, highlighted by Kyle Manzardo. He and Jeff Erickson will discuss that, Shohei Ohtani somehow outpacing his high expectations and more!
---
00:00 - Dodgers Notes:
01:00 - Ohtani homered. You were there. I saw some people talking on Twitter about why we seem to draft him too low every year. It’s a good point……
07:20 - Walker Buehler’s return was underwhelming but not terrible….
10:45 - Alex Vesia gets a save. Does that matter?…..
14:25 - Reviewing debut of Kyle Manzardo
20:45 - Mason Black debuts
22:00 - I listened to you and Scott. It was definitely a big FAAB weekend. But we already know that next weekend will be big too.
24:30 - I can share some of my bids if you want.
26:45 - Christopher Sanchez / Spencer Turnbull
29:00 - Paul Sewald returns
30:15 - Cody Bellinger returns
32:30 - Justin Steele looked good in his return…..
34:00 - Simeon Woods-Richardson looks great but has had easy matchups…..
37:30 - Jack Leiter starting again this week
39:30 - Jonny DeLuca
41:30 - Wyatt Langford to IL.
45:30 - Parker Meadows is going to the Minors, which should help Wenceel Perez…
48:00 - A.J. Puk is coming back as a reliever. I wonder if he could become their closer
51:00 - Who else besides the Marlins get “Godfather Offers”? White Sox - Garrett Crochet
53:45 - Godfather Offer: Paste-eating Rockies - Ryan McMahon or nothing
59:30 - Godfather Offer: Los Angeles Angels - Taylor Ward, Reid Detmers
