We're about a week into the 2024 season, and that means your hosts have plenty to discuss in this episode! With a fresh set of rest-of-season rankings at ROSrankings.com, Andrew and Bart have lots of movers off to hot starts and shakers dealing with injuries and demotions. Jackson Holliday didn't make the Opening Day roster for the O's, but Jared Jones did for the Pirates and he's still less than 50% rostered in Yahoo leagues even after his 10 strikeout debut! Big injuries to Josh Jung and Royce Lewis have made the third base position thin early on, but there are some decent replacement options on your waiver wire. Which middle infielder is the better add: Brice Turang or Oswaldo Cabrera? Is Michael Conforto a must add player? What about Ronel Blanco after tossing a no hitter? Could Garrett Crochet be a league winner or is he just an early season standout? Why is Abner Uribe not closer to 100% rostered?! Andrew and Bart answer these questions and many more in this jam-packed episode!
