Episode notes

Who fills the Braves' DH slot with Jurickson Profar suspended all season? Is José Ramírez's shoulder injury a real concern? Can Nick Kurtz maintain his 50-homer pace from last year? Joe Bond, AJ Applegarth, and Corey Pieper answer one critical fantasy question for every MLB team heading into 2026 drafts.

The guys debate FanDuel props on Tarik Skubal (224.5 K over/under) and Bryan Woo (179.5 K), dissect injury concerns (Francisco Lindor's and Corbin Carroll's hamate bone injury, Zach Neto's wrist), and reveal which rosters are fantasy wastelands (Cardinals pitching staff, White Sox/Rockies everything). Plus: sleeper picks across all 30 teams including Marcelo Mayer's 15/15 upside, Jordan Beck as a forgotten 20/20 option, and why Luis Arraez might be a top-15 second baseman.

Biggest debates:

Lindor's hamate bone: When are you comfortable drafting him? (AJ says Round 3. Joe Say Round 2)
José Ramírez shoulder injury: Drops him below Skubal? (Joe says yes if drafting today)
Nick Kurtz 50-homer projection: Corey says "basically Pete Alonso" with .235 avg risk
Cardinals rotation: Is there a single draftable pitcher? (AJ asks "Is Adam Wainwright still playing?")
Royals platooning Jac Caglianone: Real threat or just talk?

Key injury updates:

Profar suspended (full season) - Who benefits in Atlanta?
Lindor's hamate bone - Power sap concern vs. quick return timeline
José Ramírez shoulder - Should you drop him out of top 6?
Seiya Suzuki PCL strain - Start the year on IL?

FanDuel props breakdown:

Skubal 224.5 K: Corey takes UNDER (injury risk), Joe's projections say OVER
Bryan Woo 179.5 K: Joe takes OVER, AJ takes UNDER (injury history)

Plus: Why the White Sox are trash league gold, Andrew Painter as a "generational talent" according to AJ, and Corey's "ride or die" Chase Burns shares across five leagues.
