  • Cast Wishing

    The show is great. My only wish is to cast the term “wishcasting” back to the depths of hell it emerged from. It casts a repetitive light on the show sometimes and I wish the lexicon of Fantasy Baseball content remained diverse. I don’t intend to castigate, but I hope/wish this could be remedied. Keep up the great work Gents!

    Paul, stop interrupting people. You always step in and ruin a great thought. Let people finish. Otherwise solid show.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Sleeper and the Bust Episode: 1468 – 2026 Shortstop Preview Pt. 3
Q: What do you think about Anthony Volpe as a full-time shortstop next year with Toronto?
I don't love Jimenez, and it's mostly I don't trust the stolen bases.
The Sleeper and the Bust Episode: 1406 – Hot Streak or New Peak
Q: Is Jeremy Pena showing a new level of performance this season?
He is still viewed as an oatmeal player, but increased patience at the plate could lead to improved performance, as indicated by an increased walk rate and patient approach.
The Sleeper and the Bust Episode: 1406 – Hot Streak or New Peak
Q: Is Cedric Mullins back to being a 30-30 guy?
He looks great right now with a 297 average and good power, but might not sustain a 30-30 pace; probably more of a 20-30 player with better overall stats than the previous years.
The Sleeper and the Bust Episode: 1357 – Holiday Hot Stove!
Q: Are you still in on Jesus Lizardo?
The hosts discuss Lizardo's injury history and potential impact with the Phillies, showing cautious optimism but highlighting his limitations.
The Sleeper and the Bust Episode: 1250 – Catcher Preview Pt. 2
Q: Where do you think Reese Hoskins fits with the Brewers?
I think this is a brilliant move by the Brewers from a baseball sense, right?
