Mock draft season is upon us, and Dylan and Geoff dive into their strategies in the ongoing Toolshed mock draft. Dylan took a win-now approach, and currently ranks as the top projected team through 16 rounds. Geoff is the opposite with one of the lowest projected scores for 2024, but a large contingent of young upside hitters. It's the dichotomy of startup dynasty drafts in action.

Fantasy Podcast: Complex Leaguers, Full-Season Standouts & An Argument With RoboScout

Peter and Carlos hop on the BA draft podcast to talk about the prospects to know in the college world series. How does this year’s field compare to a fantastic 2023 group and how much is there for a player like UNC’s Vance Honeycutt to gain or lose on the sport’s biggest stage? The two talk through why Honeycutt’s profile is so tricky, and think through the player development challenges that his hit tool questions create. After that the two talk through a few other CWS prospects, wonder how Braden Montgomery’s injury affects his stock (if it does at all) and talk about a pair of late-season draft risers to know—one high school shortstop and one college shortstop. — Time Stamps (3:00) The quality of the CWS prospects (6:00) How the bright lights of Omaha impact draft stock (7:00) Vance Honeycutt’s profile (14:00) How many big leaguers are guess hitters?
