In The Deep: Fantasy Baseball

We just got done unpacking our bags from Spring Training, and we already have a ton to unpack after most teams' first three games of the season. In this episode we look at some early eye-openers and try to make sense of some of the still cloudy closer roles throughout the league. Oh, we also talk about The Yerminator for like a good 8 minutes.

Tune in for the Middle Infielder talk, stay for the six-out-of-ten Pee Wee Herman impression. Oh yeah. We're hitting our stride and it's getting WEIRD. Fast forward to 11:32 for the good stuff!

After Jordan and Shwebsi take some time to talk about a couple of pleasant Spring Training surprises and recap their favorite late-round TGFBI picks, they get into what is possibly the spiciest topic thus far: MILFs. Which of course means, "Middle Infielders we Like in Fantasy." (Don't get the wrong idea.)

With Podapalooza over, Spring Training started, and TGFBI drafting underway, Jordan and Shwebsi recap their drafts thus far before tackling their favorite deep picks for first and third basemen... Even if we had to go to sublevel two for some of our picks. More like first and third basemen-t, am I right?
