Episode 135 of Tablesetters focuses on a fantasy baseball mock draft on CBS Sports, recorded Wednesday night at 8 p.m. ET in a 12-team head-to-head categories format. This was a full-length, 23-round mock that ran close to 90 minutes and featured a room of experienced fantasy managers from across the fantasy baseball landscape. The draft included Scott White of CBS Sports alongside Sean Martin and Mike Nelson from Fantasy Baseball Now, George Kurtz of SportsGrid, Nick Fox of NBC Sports, B_Don of Razzball, Jeremy Heist of Fantistics Fantasy, Chris Mitchell of FantasyData, Anthony Kates of SportsEthos, and TGFBI participant Marty Tallman. The room approached the draft deliberately, reacting to positional runs, managing time, and adjusting strategy as the board developed. Rather than recapping the draft pick by pick, Steve and Devin center the discussion on decision-making and draft structure. They examine how early pitching selections involving arms such as Tarik Skubal, Paul Skenes, and Garrett Crochet influenced roster construction, and how elite hitters like Aaron Judge and Shohei Ohtani shaped category planning and lineup balance. The episode breaks down how head-to-head categories formats create specific constraints, particularly with pitching minimums and weekly matchups. The conversation focuses on how managers weighed stability versus upside, managed category needs as the draft progressed, and used roster flexibility to respond to changes in the room. This episode is intended as a look at process rather than results, highlighting how experienced fantasy players interpret draft flow, adjust priorities, and make decisions in real time. For listeners preparing for competitive fantasy baseball drafts or looking to refine how they approach roster construction, this episode provides practical context without relying on full draft recaps. ⚾️ A blueprint for how drafts actually unfold.
