Flags Fly Forever Fantasy Baseball

Don't call it a comeback, we've been here for like two days. Mike Gianella, Jon Hegglund, and Samuel Hale are back in the saddle talking all about fantasy baseball once again. It's positional series time, and this week they tackle first base with a pinch of DH mixed in. It's a position which has pretty well defined rank. Mike and Jon help guide you through all the nooks and crannies to help you succeed. Got a content idea for the show?

Mike Gianella is joined by BP's Tim McCullough to discuss draft strategies in some of the fantasy expert leagues!

The guys go through their LABR auction recap and talk draft strategies.

The guys discuss all the backstops. Does DH really help NL catchers Bret jumps on the table for Yasmani Grandal, hates Dalton Varsho with the burning passion of 1,000 suns. Mike breaks down Mitch Garver. Adley Rutschman is suspect in terms of value depending on promotion. They refuse to discuss Omar Narvaez and Christian Vazquez, will discuss Gary Sanchez and Elias Diaz. Bret demands a Carson Kelly moment. Will Alejandro Kirk play? Does Mike Zunino really earn the love BP analysts have given him? They close is out with dumpster diving on Max Stassi and Austin Nola. After the show close a quick discussion from Big Journo Bret Sayre shows why he's a one-percenter, diminishing Miracle Whip.

Five Star: Bo Bichette and Fernando Tatis Jr. create some cognitive dissonance.Four Star: Bret gets starry eyed over Xander Bogaerts and Bobby Witt Jr.; Bret and Mike can't quit Francisco Lindor, accidentally disclose they are Mets fans leading everyone to openly question their sanity. Mike and Bret talk about how Tim Anderson has an extremely Tim Anderson profile. The fabled Trevor Story has left Coors, the heat on him has cooled. Wander Franco: Estimate him at your own peril; Bret compares Franco to Witt. Corey Seager and Carlos Correa are the consummate risk vs reward players. Three Star: Heart attack inducing. Mike and Bret try to focus on the positives of Gleyber Torres, this does not go very well. Our hosts go into the trust tree and discuss the shame of their fondness for Amed Rosario. Mike – like most of our BP analysts – have appreciation for Willy Adames.Two Star: Oneil Cruz has generated excitement. Nicky Lopez is almost adequate and the margin for error is razor thin. Mike has trust issues with Brandon Crawford and Eugenio Suarez; Bret is more willing to be hurt by Suarez. America's Favorite Game: 1 Star Tier or Off the Board Selection…Bret loves Joey Wendle and Mike feels that Jeremy Pena is completely overlooked. Bret then advocates for Didi Gregorious and Geraldo Perdomo.

Rafael Dever is a KingKris Bryant is good (?)Bret can't quit Anthony RendonAdam wants the guys to talk about Yoan Moncada, there's resistanceJustin Turner old and goodWe're down on Ke'Bryan Hayes It's time we have a talk about Josh DonaldsonThe 2-star guys: There aren't many and they kinda suck, but Bret hearts Josh Jung

Mike Gianella and Bret Sayre are back again talking keystone players to target. Bret puts Trea Turner as a 6 star tier. 2 men enter the Thunderdome to battle over Jazz Chisholm. Tommy Edman is a mystery. Is Whit Merrifield bad? Mike likes Jake Cronenworth IRL, not in his fantasy dreams. The boys dumpster dive and dream on Tony Kemp. Plus so much more!

What year is it? Mike Gianella is joined by Bret Sayre to chat about the base tiers. Is Vladimir Guerrero jr an elite fantasy option even without steals? Would you take Pete Alonso or Matt Olson? And Bret goes off the board to talk up one of the non-beefy Brewers first basemen.

Mike and Jon go through the top performers at each position in 2021. Who is for real, who did they miss on, and who might be a 2022 overdraft?Old Man Buster Posey (2:00)Big Will Smith (4:20)1st Basemen (8:30)Paul Goldschmidt, Matt Olson, Pete Alonso, Joey Votto, CJ Cron, Jared Walsh 2nd Basemen (14:40)Trea Turner, Marcus Semien, and Whit Merrifield3rd Base (22:30)Austin Riley, Rafael Devers, Shortstops (30:50)Tim Anderson, Bo BichetteOutfielders (39:00)Kyle Tucker, Bryce HarperStarting Pitchers (49:00)Gerritt Cole, Corbin BurnesGot a content idea for the show?

Mike, Jon, and Samuel are back with a bag of post deadline related things. They start with a discussion of the draft in light of Kumar Rocker's unfair treatment by the Mets, before wondering if abolishing the draft would actually create as much interest among fans as it would fairness among players. After that, they move towards cleaning up some of the big trades that went down around the deadline.

The whole crew is back this week, and what a big week to be back. With just under 48 hours until the deadline at recording time Mike, Jon, and Samuel discuss what's happened so far. That mainly starts with Samuel sadboi'ing over the Joey Gallo trade that broke earlier in the day, which derails the show for a good fifteen minutes. The wheels get back on though, with more trade analysis including a big breakdown on Starling Marte for Jesus Luzardo.

Hi y'all, producer Samuel here. As Mike mentions on the show, I'm on assignment this week so I'm not on the show. That said the show features Mike Gianella, Jon Hegglund, and Mikey Ajeto from Pitcher List talking about...something. I asked what I should look out for and I was told "There are swears." So, there's that. I'm assuming there's some baseball talk in there as well. I heard the word "Giants" a few time, so there's something you can latch onto. Also Mikey has a great laugh to end the show, so that's worth listening to all of it for. Anyway, enjoy!Got a content idea for the show?

Mike, Jon, and Samuel are back after a week off. They start the show with a conversation about how MLB's ineptitude on players like Trevor Bauer is harmful for the fantasy community both now and in the future. They then transition to a discussion of some midseason surprises both good and bad.Jon's article on Bauer: https://www.baseballprospectus.com/fantasy/article/68081/trevor-bauer-and-the-bartleby-option/Got a content idea for the show?

Mike, Jon, and Samuel try out something a little different this week where they go around the horn and discuss whatever baseball topic comes to mind. This hardball roulette brings them to Shohei Ohtani's talents and trousers, the recent MLB crypto partnership, what should a quality start actually be, and the foolishness of the sticky stuff enforcement policy.

OK, this is probably the wildest episode of the current era. Mike, Jon, and Samuel start the episode talking about basketball, as one does on a fantasy baseball podcast. Then they pivot to their actual discussion, which is about current trends in the game that were unexpected and how that apply fantasy wise. It goes off the rails shortly after as the lads go into a discussion about journeyman reliever Dennis Lamp. No, we're not kidding. It's a lot of fun though.Got a content idea for the show?

Mike, Jon, and Samuel are back on a more baseball bent this week. They discuss Mike's article this week about his ranking process, shedding light on how you can use the process to help your own fantasy decision trees. Then the lads spent a few minutes talking about some specific players who have been either good or bad this year against expectations for various reasons.Got a content idea for the show?

Look y'all, we won't lie to you. After our skipped start last week we're still feeling some wear and tear on our various joints and ligaments. So this week's program is more junkball than fastball but it does have some fun stuff to it. Mike, Jon, and Samuel talk a big milestone for a child, then dive into some big picture concerns as the fantasy season charges into June. Plus Mike quotes Bob Dylan.

If you're looking for a heater episode, this is probably it. Mike, Jon, and Samuel have a lot to say this week. They start with the recent rash of injuries(aka all of 2021), before moving onto prospect call ups and how to handle those, and finish with an extended conversation about why expansion sounds like a better idea than it is. Also Rob Manfred catches strays as does Neil Young.Got a content idea for the show?

The lads go through how Nate put together his team, how much good fortune has played in his success so far, and other assorted topics.

Another week, another podcast. On the show this week Mike, Jon, and Samuel talk a return to normalcy both baseball and in life with the rising numbers of vaccinations. Then after that, it's your questions! They talk trading strategies early in the season, surprising hitters, and almost get into a brawl over coffee.

Back to whatever constitutes normal for the podcast this week Mike, Jon, and Samuel start the show with a discussion on the art of FAAB. They then tackle players that they feel are succeeding early, and players that are not showing out as expected and even pushed pre draft season. There's a lot of interesting discussions in here, both about the specific players and general fantasy analysis. #LetMikeTroutDoSteroidsGot a content idea for the show?

It's a baseball podcast! With the season a week or so old Mike, Jon, and Samuel talk through what feels like(but maybe isn't) a large amount of injuries to open the 2021 season.

It's (sort of) starting pitcher week, and we have a guest! Pitcher List's Mikey Ajeto joins Mike, Jon, and Samuel for a special edition of positional week. The first half of the episode discusses TGFBI, which is currently wrapping up drafts. The lads talk through draft strategy, what surprised them, and how their approaches adjusted for 2021. In the second half, it's all about starting pitchers. State of the position, players to look out for, sleepers that you might not know, and even a crash course on streaming pitchers. It's all with one of our favorite people in the fantasy community.

A bit of a change as positional week rounds into the backstretch. Mike, Jon, and Samuel eschew their normal format for a more free flowing discussion of all things outfield. Topics include is Mike Trout overrated, is there too much wish casting in the higher outfield tiers, where the best value in all of fantasy this year might be, and how to handle the lower end of outfield possibilities.

Positional Week is indeed here! This year starts differently though; Mike, Jon, and Samuel start not with catcher but first base. They break down a position that is top light, but deep through the middle, and explore some off the wall options in the grab bag tier. As you get ready for your drafts, this is as essential content as we make throughout the year.

The World Series is over, and with that Major League Baseball moves into the offseason. For how long? Not really sure, things are weird right now.

The regular season in baseball is over, and as such another season of Flags Fly Forever pulls into port for another dry dock adventure. Before we winterize the fantasy ship Mike, Jon, and Samuel go over what happened in the year while pontificating what it could mean for next year. The lads also discuss their favorite players to watch in the game, how to enjoy baseball, randomly interject about the Padres Cardinals game happening live while they record, and one member of the show has a big addition to announce exclusively on the show. Join us for one more baseball centric ride in 2020. Well, as baseball centric as we get anyway. Got a content idea for the show?

With the season drawing to a close, is it too soon to look at 2021? Of course not. Mike, Jon, and Samuel spend some time talking through how they think the 2020 bubble plan for the playoffs will go(spoiler alert not great). They then transition to discussing pop up cases both good and bad in the shortened season, pondering how these season will change draft rankings for next season. It's a great discussion of draft value, understanding short sample sizes, and overall player evaluation. This is a big 'un, so strap in for a lot of baseball nerdery.Got a content idea for the show?
