Keep or Kut - Pete (@PeteBBaseball) and Chad (@ChadYoung) dig deep on the Ottoneu mock auction that is currently taking place. Third base once again becomes a point of discussion, as does the seemingly top-heavy nature of the mock itself. Eventually, Pete and Chad get into a discussion about some of the early signings this offseason and their potential fantasy impacts.

Timestamps:

1:10 - The best Thanksgiving side

4:40 - Introduction to the mock auction draft and how it has gone so far

12:03 - Pete's rationale for dropping so much money on Vladimir Guerrero Jr.

13:59 - A discussion about Mike Trout - he went for over $60!

20:42 - Nolan Arenado for $18. A steal? A fair deal? Overpay? A discussion about 3B follows, including how Pete ended up with both Austin Riley and Manny Machado.

34:30 - Surprising prices on starting pitchers and how the bidding for pitchers has gone in the mock so far. Is a $38 Max Scherzer good value?

36:22 - Are we sleeping on Shane Bieber?

40:08 - $4 Marcus Stroman is a steal

44:03 - Justin Verlander is back with the Astros

49:51 - Steven Matz to the Cardinals. Does it matter?

52:21 - Anthony DeSclafani is back with the Giants. Was the breakout legit? Does losing Buster Posey matter?

56:25 - Noah Syndergaard goes west, off to the Angels. Seems risky, should we be interested?

1:02:05 - Another Angels signing! Aaron Loup... future closer?
