EP 148: Fantasy Baseball Masterclass w/ Jeff Zimmerman, Tanner Bell, Phil Dussault, Steve Weimer and Toby Guevin

3 hours 43 minutes

I had invited Jeff Zimmerman ( @JeffZimmerman ) and Tanner Bell ( @smartfantasybb) onto the show to discuss the new edition of their wonderful book The Process ( links to the book can be found at the end of this playlist ). It had a conflict with my regularly scheduled chat session with my friends Phil Dussault (@PhilDussault27) and Steve Weimer (@steveymer). IT was an easy decision then. Have them help me host these two wonderful guests. What evolved was a fantastic discussion on all things fantasy baseball:

Looking back at 2022

Adapting to the new run environment in season

Discussing the r squared of Main Event ADP to end of season results: are we getting better at fantasy baseball?

The Process :

-How do you know what to test?

-MLB Rule Changes for 2023 and the impact on players

Looking ahead to 2023

-Positions that are deep and weak

-SP and RP strategy for 12 team leagues vs 15 team leagues

The most common mistakes of players make

Stupidest Twitter analysis

Weighing Projections in an aggregator

-Eric Hosmer vs Garrett Cooper vs Joey Votto vs Carlos Santana
