Episode 152

The latest episode of “The Sleeper and the Bust” is now live!

Jason Collette and Nicholas Minnix open with some things on Caleb Joseph, Giancarlo Stanton, and Joey Gallo. They then get to some playing time questions on the Braves, Mets, Blue Jays, and Indians, as well as some chatter about the Nationals’ Michael Taylor. The pair then discusses some low-level changes to big-league rotations, with a couple of hurlers piquing their interests – in particular, Carlos Carrasco.

Collette and Minnix also touch on the Tigers’ bullpen, among others, before getting to the injured players – those making their ways back, including – perhaps – Andrew McCutchen, and those on their ways out and those who’ll fill in, such as Anibal Sanchez and Robbie Ray. They add thoughts on whether it’s time to drop either of the Rockies’ cornerstones before getting into some two-turn pitchers for the week.

As usual, don’t hesitate to tweet us or comment with fantasy questions so that we may answer them on our next episode.

Love the show as usual guys, keep up the great work. Lot’s of good information as always.

Do you guys have any advice as it pertains to Mike Napoli? Recent articles on Fangraphs, by two different authors, have said he is due for a rebound while the other said he is in for continued struggles. Is he worth sticking with in a 12 team mixed or should I look to salvage what I can in a trade or even cut him?
