Episode 161
The latest episode of “The Sleeper and the Bust” is now live!
Jason Collette and Nicholas Minnix play a little “Guess who leads the league in. …” before they discuss, among other items, Adam Dunn to the Oakland Athletics; Andy Wilkins; Dilson Herrera; Felix Doubront; Justin Masterson (or, more appropriately, his potential replacements); Kevin Quackenbush; Jonathan Broxton; Miguel Cabrera; by request, Mike Minor and Adam Eaton; and, of course, some two-turn pitchers.
As usual, don’t hesitate to tweet us or comment with fantasy questions so that we may answer them on our next episode.

Thanks to Ian Miller, aka Teen Archer, for the intro/outro music. Approximately 68 minutes of joyous analysis.

Nicholas Minnix oversaw baseball content for six years at KFFL, where he held the loose title of Managing Editor for seven and a half before he joined FanGraphs. He played in both Tout Wars and LABR from 2010 through 2014. Follow him on Twitter @NicholasMinnix.
Adam Eaton may suck in roto. But he puts up solid numbers in points leagues.
He’s put up a good season in both. Just the point is that without all the hits, he wouldn’t provide much else, so his value is heavily dependent on hits, and that’s not as safe of an investment going forward, for him, if expecting regression in AVG.
