We also discuss whether Andrew Cashner is worth the risk now that he's with the Red Sox, what to expect from Daniel Ponce de Leon going forward and the outlook for fire-throwing Padres reliever Andres Munoz. Plus, why Emilio Pagan should be added immediately if he's still available in your league.

Also on this episode: an impressive season debut from Andrew Heaney and his fantasy potential going forward, and the outlook on Pirates prospect Mitch Keller. Plus — the Twins have become a true fantasy factory, and we examine what to expect from Miguel Sano, C.J. Cron, Jake Odorizzi and Kyle Gibson the rest of the way.

Matt Stroup and George Bissell run down a wide range of recent trends for starting pitchers and hitters, including what to make of the Mike Minor renaissance (a career-high 13 strikeouts on Saturday night), and the ongoing struggles of aces ranging from Chris Sale to Corey Kluber to Jacob deGrom. Also on this episode — we look at what could be a very lofty home run ceiling for Vladimir Guerrero Jr. this season, and consider the upside of other young middle infielders including Carter Kieboom, Hunter Dozier and Michael Chavis.

Matt Stroup, Chris Crawford and George Bissell run through a wide range of fantasy baseball topics, including early surges from Dansby Swanson, Jason Heyward and Clint Frazier, all on the rise as April waiver wire pickups. Plus, a promising start for Blue Jays right-hander Trent Thornton, and the mostly sunny outlook for Tyler Glasnow and Yonny Chirinos in Tampa. We also hunt, somewhat desperately, for saves.
