Timestamps

1:02 - Before looking at the off-season, a quick look at the stretch run and fantasy playoff matchups, where Chad has to pick two of Hyun-jin Ryu, Nick Pivetta, and Gavin Williams to start.

12:30 - Time to turn our attention to keepers.

14:12 - Starting with Chad’s League 1 Roster, and his four most obvious keepers: Tyler Glasnow, Michael Harris II, Tanner Bibee, and Spencer Steer.

19:26 - At one point, Luis Robert Jr. was one of those obvious keepers, even for a 2nd rounder, but is he now?

22:42 - Masataka Yoshida is causing the same kind of issue later in the draft.

28:51 - Pete’s obvious league 1 keepers are George Kirby for 26th, Devin Williams for 15th, Francisco Alvarez for 14th, and that leads us to the saga of Chas McCormick.

35:32 - Piling up last-round keepers forces some interesting decisions.

38:24 - Is the talent enough to justify keeping Mason Miller?

42:42 - How cheap is cheap enough for Kris Bryant? Plus Pete has some fun rookies and another interesting closer in Kyle Harrison, Evan Carter, and Camilo Doval.

48:30 - In League 2, Chad is already thinking about what pick he wants, as it impacts the value on keeping Mookie Betts in the first.

54:44 - And that impacts some other tough calls at MI in Ezequiel Tovar, Andres Gimenez, Thairo Estrada, Xander Bogaerts, Justin Turner, and Zach Neto

1:01:40 - Meanwhile, Chad's minor leaguers are a debacle

1:09:47 - Pete’s team starting has Oneil Cruz (as does his team in league 1), but what is a good keeper cost for Cruz?

1:13:27 - Grayson Rodriguez is one of Pete's favorite keepers

1:21:53 - Pete’s insane pitching upside might force a trade for offense

1:24:23 - Pete’s minor league decisions on Gavin Williams, Pete Crow-Armstrong, Termarr Johnson, Kyle Manzardo, and Robert Hassel III, plus a really tough call on Anthony Volpe.
