Nasty Cast Fantasy Baseball

When Michael Govier of Rotofanatic and @PallazzoPodcast shows up you know you're in for a great time and that's exactly what happened on our First Base Preview episode! Van, Ron, Brian, and guest Michael talk recent trades/signings, play a round of Get to Know Nasty Nation, and of course take a look at First Base. Find out who the guys like, dislike, and who they think you should draft!

Catcher just might be the worst position in baseball (it is) but there's still plenty to talk about at the position! Van and Ron welcome Brian into the fold to review catcher ADP from Fantrax and analyze the picks good and bad. They also talk the crazy week in free agency and go over the multiple big trades that went down as well!

The Nasty Cast debuts in 2021! It may not be perfect, because Ron got sick at the last minute, but it's still quite the ride as guest Brian Vaughan (@loudguitarbrian) joins Van to talk recent news including the Padres basically completely rearranging their team, as well as some other trades and free agent news. The boys also finish off a show with a relic from a past age as they dust off their favorite old game, Which is More?!

The kings have returned! Or... kinda. Van and Ron return for a bit of an interlude episode as they detail their plans for the 2021 season! They'll discuss what they've been doing the last few months as well as some news analysis including the sale of the Mets to Steve Cohen, Tommy Pham's wrist surgery (AND STABBING), and then they finish off the show with some good old fashioned speculation as they guess where some of the top free agents will land and how much they will earn.

We're excited for the 2021 season and we'll see everyone in January!

The 2020 regular season has wrapped and fantasy champions crowned but that doesn't mean our job is through here at the Nasty Cast. With Ron gone Van is joined by Brian Vaughan and Michael Govier of Rotofanatic as they boys discuss their playoff predictions, Rookie of the Year, Cy Young, and Fantasy MVPs. They also play a round of Triple Slash to close out the show with a pulse pounding finish!

The Nasty Cast looks ahead to the distant future (several months from now) as Van welcomes Eric Cross, Chris Clegg, and Brian Vaughan to the show to participate in the first mock draft of the 2021 season! The boys all discuss who they like and why as plenty of surprises are in store! Find out how high Fernando Tatis Jr goes, who are no-brainer first rounders, and what everyone thinks of the 2020 season and how to evaluate the numbers

We had a plan! But it didn't work out. So instead listen in as Ron and Van discuss the Rookie of the Year candidates! The boys talk everyone from elite prospect Jesus Luzardo to out of nowhere phenom Jake Cronenworth, discussing their potential careers, whether or not what they've done is repeatable, and they select their choices for Rookie of the Year so far!

We survived a very intense trade deadline and it's time to sift through the wreckage! Van and Ron are here to do just that as they discuss playing time fallout for a lot of teams that made huge deals including the Padres, Blue Jays, Mariners and plenty more in their new segment: What Are Ya Buyin'?

The next era of the Nasty Cast is here, as the first episode without Nate has debuted. On the show Van and Ron talk the future of the show, the MLB trade deadline and how to treat it in your leagues, and even play a round of Believe it or Not!

At the end of an era, Nate for the last time welcomes Ron and Van to the show to discuss all the goings on in the Major Leagues as the boys touch on Lorenzo Cain, Mike Soroka, a quad of hot Mariners, and even Donovan Salano! Nate may have fled for greener pastures (arguably! Our pastures are saturated with green!) but Ron and Van will be ushering in the new era of the show starting next week so stay tuned!
