Vlad Sedler (@rotogut) and Mike Mager (@bronxyankees23) discuss a variety of topics, starting with the volatility of the closer position, Alex Bregman in Boston and Kenley Jansen back in LA, though now with the Angels. The bulk of the episode dives into each of the first seven tiers of corner infielders (1B and 3B) then the show is wrapped up with a breakdown of the Utility-Only hitters like Brent Rooker, Marcell Ozuna and Kyle Schwarber. Sit back and relax but make sure to have a pen and paper (or laptop) handy to take some notes! You've got fantasy baseball rankings to adjust.
