Buying Jose Altuve rebound (I misspoke initially and said Abreu, sue me)
22:20 - Fading Javier Baez
22:50 - Merrifield is safe, fading Albies

26:45 - Asdrubal Cabrera is underrated, Jeff McNeil is epic
27:30 - Kike Hernandez could hit 25+ bombs

Copping out, not drafting Jose Ramirez

54:20 - Eovaldi, Glasnow, Musgrove, Heaney?, Dodgers pitching, Leclerc, Alvarado, Colome, Seranthony Dominguez

That’s a wrap!
