The Sleeper and the Bust 8/6/2015 – Bad Fastball Guys

Episode 261

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

In this episode, Paul Sporer and Eno Sarris discuss the Luis Severino and Matt Boyd debuts, ask if Carlos Correa is the top fantasy SS, and then discuss a handful of players for no particular set reason. Guys like Matt Carpenter, Welington Castillo (BEEEEF!!), Chris Bassitt, and Corey Kluber among others.

As usual, don’t hesitate to tweet us or comment with fantasy questions.
