In our 80th episode, Mike Couillard and Jeremy Brewer are joined by Erik Halterman of Rotowire, to discuss the start(?) of spring training and the latest MLB moves, then preview the NL Central teams. For each team in the division, we each pick a player that for fantasy purposes we would buy, sell, and pick to click.
