  • Best prospect pod around

    This show helped my dynasty teams immensely in 2021. James’s prospect knowledge is second to none. Clay is an outstanding host. An icing on the cake: both of their hip-hop track knowledges are on point. Highly recommend!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Post-Hype Breakouts w/ Lucas Biery
Q: What was your approach to closers in the auction and how did you balance risk with potential upside?
The strategy was to pay up a bit for top closers to secure a reliable saves foundation, then search for bargains elsewhere; the idea was to solidify the back end while remaining flexible enough to pivot if a bargain emerged.
Post-Hype Breakouts w/ Lucas Biery
Q: Had you done this specific contest before? Then can you walk me through your planning for the auction?
Lucas and I discussed past experience with NFBC-style DCs, detailing how I priced closers, balanced outfield spending, and allocated resources to maximize saves and run support, while also explaining the role of reserve picks and the variability of bidding dynamics.
Updated Top 400 Prospect Rankings
Q: What do you see as Braden Montgomery's ceiling and how does his current performance affect his ranking?
Montgomery is viewed as a strong power profile but is dinged slightly for needing more time at AA and for not excelling immediately at AAA; the ceiling discussion centers on whether his power dominates his hit tool and how that balance plays out as he advances.
Updated Top 400 Prospect Rankings
Q: Next question from TODD: Who do you consider the best power-hitting prospect with ceiling?
Maade is identified as the top power-hitting prospect with long-term ceiling, followed by candidates like Reino Rodriguez, Sebastian Walcott, Edward Forantino, Alfredo Duno, and Bryce Eldridge, with caveats about hit tools and levels, and a general emphasis on ceiling rather than immediate polish.
Rotation Battles + Late Starting Pitchers w/ Dustin McComas
Q: What kind of rotation battle should fantasy players prioritize this season?
Prioritize arms with clear paths to a rotation spot, but also consider high-upside stashes who could break camp and be piloted into longer roles if injuries occur or performance warrants it.
