Afternoon guys,
Want to start by saying you guys rock. Love the podcast and it certainly makes drives to work, or any other boring task, a lot more enjoyable.
My question is about the arrival dates of several of the remaining top flight prospects. While I know this can be a rather tricky venture, it is one of the most valuable tools for players in dynasty leagues. I play in an Ottoneu league and while we all know that Giolito has an 80-grade fastball and we can find most of the scouting info on any number of sites. But when will be able to see that player called up? I know Giolito is an easy example, but names like Nomar Mazara, JP Crawford, Raul Mondesi, and Rafael Devers is a little more difficult to predict.
Knowing when we can get ahead of the curve and can roster a player for extremely cheap gives a distinct advantage. Could you guys briefly give updated arrival dates of some of the big name prospects that arent right on the cusp like Corey Seager in a future podcast?
Examples are:
Mazara
Mondesi
Judge
JP crawford
Devers
Margot
Josh Bell
Bradley Zimmer
Alex Reyes
and Nick Williams
Thanks for all you guys do
