Draft Champions Podcast

@zackroto and @cmagee523 talk with John Fish of ArbourPro about the Second Chance Draft Champions League he and Zack are currently drafting, and the implications on various unknowns of the new fantasy baseball universe.  Each of us survey the new landscape and give a sleeper, bust, comeback, early season whiff, and favorite closer target with a guest appearance from the President of the United States, Donnie Baseball himself.

@cmagee523

@zackroto and John Fish (@fish4283) talk the very last round of your Draft and Hold NFBC Draft Champion leagues.  Who should you target.  

Don't throw darts.  Place darts carefully.  

We also talk again about the Oakland As Monopoly board of infielders, Luis Robert, Tommy Pham, Mallex Smith, Miguel Sano, and the Astros backups.

Why isn't speed getting pushed up after round 30?

Do you handcuff your first round pick in round 50?

Are you concerned they will pitch around Juan Soto?

Who do you Target in Round 1?

Who are your top 3 hitters you want up with the game on the line?
