Episode 185

The latest episode of “The Sleeper and the Bust” is live! Happy New Year! Sigh. Apologies in advance if you notice some slight imperfections in the audio. We’ll improve as we go along. And we’re thrilled to have a solution to our problem as well as to get a podcast to you.

In this episode, Eno Sarris and Nicholas Minnix talk about, among other players in the news, Ben Zobrist, Mike Foltynewicz, Tyler Clippard, Miguel Cabrera, Joc Pederson, and Yoan Lopez. Requested topics discussed: projection systems and how to use them for a draft, CC Sabathia, Aaron Sanchez, and Carlos Sanchez versus Micah Johnson.

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

You can subscribe to the podcast on iTunes or via the feed.

Who would you keep of the three players: Teheran in the 13th round (keeper from 2013), Matt Harvey in the 15th round or Garrett Richards (FA pick up) in the 15th?

My other Keeper is Corey Kluber in the 21st round, which is a no brainer.

Thanks for the help
