Rotosauce Baseball - 113 - Infield Rankings with Toby Guevin

Episode 113: Rotosauce Baseball - Infield Rankings with Toby Guevin

Hosted by Greg Smith (@gregsauce)

Greg is joined by Toby Guevin (@BatFlipCrazy) to compare and analyze the similarities and differences between their fantasy baseball rankings for 2019. The positions will be split up across two shows. In this first installment, the discussion begins with some rankings philosophy (2:30) and a couple disclaimers. Next, overall top-30s are compared (9:46), noting differing views on how early to draft pitchers, Jose Altuve, and Bryce Harper. Then it's on to positional rankings, leading off with first base (35:00), featuring a Luke Voit deep dive. Third base follows (1:03:46), with your hosts forecasting Vladamir Guerrero Jr.'s arrival and what it might mean for Toronto's other hitters. Daydreams of Doziers come next, as Toby takes an optimistic look at Hunter Dozier to close out the third base segment before moving on to second base (1:38:50), believing in a Brian Dozier bounce-back. The middle infield overview continues with a look at Jeff McNeil's promising hit tool, and the show winds down with shortstop (1:48:38). How can drafters see through New York bias to properly value Gleyber Torres? What's the ETA and projected ROI for FTJ (Fernando Tatis Jr.)? Tune in and taste the Rotosauce for answers those questions and more rankings reflections. Then come back for next week's episode (114) covering outfield, catcher, starting pitcher, and relief pitcher.
