We have a new email address for questions: sleeperpod@gmail.com. Send your fantasy-relevant questions. You can send keeper questions, but those are much better for Twitter. Questions most likely to get selected are those that apply more broadly, as opposed to specific trade or keeper queries. However, if you do ask a league-specific question, please include the league size and categories.

It is the wrong upload, I believe that it’s the podcast from last Friday.

Has it been re-uploaded to iTunes? Doesn’t seem to be downloading for me.

Can’t find the latest podcast in my iTunes. Anyone else with this issue?

Question: why don’t people think about Darvish by adding back a replacement middle relievers stats during the downtime?

IP +15-20; K’s + 15 , etc

So, if he pitches 160 innings + 20, you can reasonably expect 180-200+ K’s for the slot, with SP2 metrics…… In an AL only league, that’s hugely valuable. The following year, you’ve got an ace with TJ pricing, assuming a keeper league.

I understand TJ rebounds carry risk, but at least for Darvish this seems a no brainier bet, given current market pricing.
