In 1983, keyboardist Tony Banks stepped out of his comfort zone to sing lead vocals on his second solo album, “The Fugitive.” Was this experiment a success? The Tabletop weighs in with the help of two special guests, writers (and longtime Genesis fans) Antony Johnston and Al Melchior.

Before we get into it, I want to apologize for the delay and the audio quality; lots of issues arose this week but here we are nonetheless. This week's episode's a little slower paced than last weeks so we got to go deep on a lot of guys. Is Anthony Rendon underrated or just boring? What happened to Eugenio Suarez in 2020? Who's the best player of Alec Bohm, Ke'Bryan Hayes, and Gio Urshela? What's Kris Bryant's deal? Is Fernando Tatis the 1.01? Who would you rather have of Trea Turner and Trevor Story? Is Bo Bichette going too early or is he the next big thing? Is Corey Seager a steal? How good of a value is Javier Baez? Can Marcus Semien bounce back? When will we see Wander Franco? --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app
