Episode 325: Shortstop Preview

Flags Fly Forever Fantasy Baseball

Finally, a position with some truly elite players! We discuss the relative merits of Gunnar and Elly in the first round, why Francisco Lindor and Trea Turner might be more similar than you think, if CJ Abrams has another level, and other topics du jour at the six.
Plenty of flawed but intriguing options in the three-star tier, and then things fall of pretty quickly at the two-star tier and below. Jon and Mike pour multiple buckets of cold water on Trevor Story and Tyler Fitzgerald, respectively, and while we appreciate that Carlos Correa is still a good hitter, we just wish he would do it for a full (or even most of a) season.
