Flags Fly Forever Fantasy Baseball

Our positional series continues with the hot corner. Mike Gianella and Jon Hegglund take you through third base, a position with a strong top end but that curves out real poorly. How should you handle the second tier and lower of the position? The lads make sure you're well taken care of so you'll avoid the pitfalls and ride the wave to success.

The positional series continues this week with one of the most robust categories, second base. This is a depth position in 2023, with no one stand out star but plenty of options at the very good and below levels. Mike Gianella and Jon Hegglund dive all the way in, giving you insights on how to parse through each tier and make the best selection for what you need.

Don't call it a comeback, we've been here for like two days. Mike Gianella, Jon Hegglund, and Samuel Hale are back in the saddle talking all about fantasy baseball once again. It's positional series time, and this week they tackle first base with a pinch of DH mixed in. It's a position which has pretty well defined rank. Mike and Jon help guide you through all the nooks and crannies to help you succeed.

Mike Gianella is joined by BP's Tim McCullough to discuss draft strategies in some of the fantasy expert leagues!

The guys go through their LABR auction recap and talk draft strategies.

The guys discuss all the backstops. Does DH really help NL catchers Bret jumps on the table for Yasmani Grandal, hates Dalton Varsho with the burning passion of 1,000 suns. Mike breaks down Mitch Garver. Adley Rutschman is suspect in terms of value depending on promotion. They refuse to discuss Omar Narvaez and Christian Vazquez, will discuss Gary Sanchez and Elias Diaz. Bret demands a Carson Kelly moment. Will Alejandro Kirk play? Does Mike Zunino really earn the love BP analysts have given him? They close is out with dumpster diving on Max Stassi and Austin Nola. After the show close a quick discussion from Big Journo Bret Sayre shows why he's a one-percenter, diminishing Miracle Whip.

Five Star: Bo Bichette and Fernando Tatis Jr. create some cognitive dissonance.

Four Star: Bret gets starry eyed over Xander Bogaerts and Bobby Witt Jr.; Bret and Mike can’t quit Francisco Lindor, accidentally disclose they are Mets fans leading everyone to openly question their sanity. Mike and Bret talk about how Tim Anderson has an extremely Tim Anderson profile. The fabled Trevor Story has left Coors, the heat on him has cooled. Wander Franco: Estimate him at your own peril; Bret compares Franco to Witt. Corey Seager and Carlos Correa are the consummate risk vs reward players.

Three Star: Heart attack inducing. Mike and Bret try to focus on the positives of Gleyber Torres, this does not go very well. Our hosts go into the trust tree and discuss the shame of their fondness for Amed Rosario. Mike – like most of our BP analysts – have appreciation for Willy Adames.

Two Star: Oneil Cruz has generated excitement. Nicky Lopez is almost adequate and the margin for error is razor thin. Mike has trust issues with Brandon Crawford and Eugenio Suarez; Bret is more willing to be hurt by Suarez.
America’s Favorite Game: 1 Star Tier or Off the Board Selection…Bret loves Joey Wendle and Mike feels that Jeremy Pena is completely overlooked. Bret then advocates for Didi Gregorious and Geraldo Perdomo.

Rafael Dever is a King
Kris Bryant is good (?)
Bret can’t quit Anthony Rendon
Adam wants the guys to talk about Yoan Moncada, there’s resistance
Justin Turner old and good
We’re down on Ke’Bryan Hayes
It’s time we have a talk about Josh Donaldson
The 2-star guys: There aren’t many and they kinda suck, but Bret hearts Josh Jung

Mike Gianella and Bret Sayre are back again talking keystone players to target. Bret puts Trea Turner as a 6 star tier. 2 men enter the Thunderdome to battle over Jazz Chisholm. Tommy Edman is a mystery. Is Whit Merrifield bad? Mike likes Jake Cronenworth IRL, not in his fantasy dreams. The boys dumpster dive and dream on Tony Kemp. Plus so much more!

What year is it? Mike Gianella is joined by Bret Sayre to chat about the base tiers. Is Vladimir Guerrero jr an elite fantasy option even without steals? Would you take Pete Alonso or Matt Olson? And Bret goes off the board to talk up one of the non-beefy Brewers first basemen.
