Episode notes
Mick Abel Two Strong Starts Put Him On Radar
- Mick Abel produced consecutive spring starts with high whiff rates, especially on his four-seamer and slider, putting him on fantasy radars despite roster competition in Minnesota.
- Scott views Abel as a draft-and-stash candidate who now warrants ranking adjustments after back-to-back strong showings.
Stash Rehabbing Pitchers Instead Of Drafting Early
- Treat pitchers with recent arm surgeries or internal brace procedures (like Pablo López and Justin Steele) as IL stash candidates rather than immediate rotation locks.
- Scott recommends waiting to see actual outings before investing draft capital, especially when ADP is outside top tiers.
Alvarez Outfield Work Could Erase ADP Discount
- Jordan Álvarez is expected to take some outfield reps this spring, which could increase his playing time flexibility and fantasy value.
- Chris notes any outfield eligibility news will likely remove Alvarez's current ADP discount quickly.
