The Rest of Season Rankings Podcast

The guys are back at it going team-by-team through the National League this week, getting your fantasy baseball rosters ready to attack the month of May! Andrew and Bart discuss the latest news and notes in the AL at the beginning of the show. Then they dive right into everything in the NL from Corbin Carroll's slow start in Arizona to an even bigger breakout from CJ Abrams in Washington. They debate whether or not you should consider dropping guys like Jeimer Candelario or Nolan Gorman, and they talk about pitchers you may want to stream and others with potential for even more season-long value!

This week, Andrew and Bart go team-by-team through the American League to break down all the hottest topics in fantasy land, including: -Is Heston Kjerstad a better bet for fantasy production than Ryan O'Hearn? -Are Garrett Crochet and Maikel Garcia good players to buy-low or are they just turning into pumpkins? -Is Mike Trout back among the fantasy elite? -Are Alex Bregman and/or Chas McCormick droppable? -And why won't the A's play Esteury Ruiz?!?!?

The Top-500 at ⁠ROSrankings.com⁠ is expanding with early season injuries and call ups. If you look near the top-100, you'll notice some new names like Michael Busch and Colton Cowser! Hot starts from Reid Detmers and MacKenzie Gore have them flying up the rankings too, and poor outings from Hunter Brown and Brandon Pfaadt make them droppable. Jose Leclerc can hit the waiver wire too, but who is the closer you want in Texas? What should you do with top prospects like Jackson Holliday, Wyatt Langford, and Jackson Chourio? Should you be concerned with a slow start from someone like Vlad, Jr.? As usual, there is plenty for Andrew and Bart to discuss as the 2024 season is now in full swing. Check it out!

We're in the midst of the worst week for injuries in recent memory, including a spate of pitchers facing season-ending Tommy John surgery. In this episode, Andrew and Bart cover all the latest injury news, suggest some waiver wire replacements, and discuss how we should value pitchers in fantasy going forward. Your hosts also go position-by-position to highlight the week's biggest movers and shakers in their latest rest-of-season rankings.

We're about a week into the 2024 season, and that means your hosts have plenty to discuss in this episode! With a fresh set of rest-of-season rankings at ROSrankings.com, Andrew and Bart have lots of movers off to hot starts and shakers dealing with injuries and demotions. Jackson Holliday didn't make the Opening Day roster for the O's, but Jared Jones did for the Pirates and he's still less than 50% rostered in Yahoo leagues even after his 10 strikeout debut! Big injuries to Josh Jung and Royce Lewis have made the third base position thin early on, but there are some decent replacement options on your waiver wire. Which middle infielder is the better add: Brice Turang or Oswaldo Cabrera? Is Michael Conforto a must add player? What about Ronel Blanco after tossing a no hitter? Could Garrett Crochet be a league winner or is he just an early season standout? Why is Abner Uribe not closer to 100% rostered?! Andrew and Bart answer these questions and many more in this jam-packed episode!

In their final episode before the Seoul Series kicks off the 2024 MLB season, Andrew and Bart round the bases and head for home with a final set of preseason rankings, all the latest news, a recap of their recent Yahoo draft, and a final look at average draft position (ADP). The Blake Snell signing, Eury Perez injury, Jackson Merrill promotion and general love for Christian Encarnacion-Strand and Vinnie Pasquantino are just a few of the topics Andrew and Bart cover in an action-packed episode!

In the finale of their position preview series, Andrew and Bart offer advice to bolster your bullpen! Tiers are especially important when discussing relief pitchers so you don't completely miss a run on closers in your draft. Are the high-end guys worth it? How long can you wait to select your first RP? What about the non-closers late in drafts? The guys discuss tons of pitchers and answer all of those questions and more in this episode wrapping up the position previews!

Andrew and Bart round out their pitcher preview episodes by going rapid fire through all the names to know late in drafts, from steady veterans to upstart rookies, reclamation projects and injury stashes. SP may be dicey at the top, but there is no shortage of intriguing lotto tickets to buy late!

Andrew and Bart are staying on the mound to give you thoughts on 40 or so more starting pitchers in this episode! There are interesting names in new places like Chris Sale and Michael King and potential second year standouts like Tanner Bibee and Bryan Woo. When should you draft guys returning from injury like Walker Buehler? What about someone dealing with a new injury like Kodai Senga or Kyle Bradish? Shota Imanaga and Cristopher Sanchez seem like deals at their ADPs, but Hunter Greene? Not so much. There are lots of questions and much to discuss in this episode, and of course your hosts don't always agree on everything. Listen in to find out where they stand on plenty of SPs who can help your fantasy teams in 2024!

Andrew and Bart continue their position preview series with the first of multiple episodes on starting pitcher, a position in turmoil after many of the fantasy aces of yesteryear are now either hurt, bad, or out of baseball completely. Does the attrition at pitcher make it even more important to take an ace early, or is that falling into the trap of spending SP1 draft capital on an SP2-caliber arm? Andrew and Bart discuss which, if any, pitchers are worthy of an early round pick, and whether to prioritize upside or safety when filling in the front end of your rotation. Their takes on some notable arms like Pablo Lopez, Aaron Nola, Grayson Rodriguez, Blake Snell, Cole Ragans and Bobby Miller might surprise you, so make sure to listen in!

Your hosts wrap up the outfield position in this episode and discuss plenty of guys they just can't quit like Eloy Jimenez and Jerred Kelenic. But before those two, there are solid veterans to discuss like Cedric Mullins and his teammate Anthondy Santander. There are young guys who could take leaps like James Outman and Jarren Duran. This episode is full of veterans who can solidify your third outfielder spot, upside late round draft picks who could break out or end up on the waiver wire after three weeks, and everything in between to get you ready for this position in your fantasy drafts!

Andrew and Bart continue their position preview series with the first of two episodes on the outfield, where there are more first round-caliber players than at any other position -- but then a steep drop-off. Ronald Acuna is clearly in a stratosphere of his own, but how many other top outfielders are there before the talent pool falls off a cliff? Which Yankee bopper should go first, Aaron Judge or Juan Soto? Is Michael Harris' lineup spot or Luis Roberts' injury history a bigger red flag? Is Josh Lowe or Jazz Chisholm the better bet to get you power and speed? And when should you start thinking about taking buzzy prospects like Jackson Chourio and Wyatt Langford?

The guys wrap up the infield in this episode with a preview of the third base position! While Jose Ramirez still has 5 category juice, Andrew sees him at the top of a tier with other studs like Riley and Devers. After the top-3, your hosts have a similar tier and debate the upsides of Royce Lewis versus Elly De La Cruz. Then things get a little crazy when Jake Burger arrives in Bart's top-10, followed by Noelvi Marte in Andrew's rankings shortly after. There's plenty of discussion to be had at a position that might be deeper than you think!

Andrew and Bart continue their position preview series with a deep-dive on the shortstop position, which is chock full of multi-category contributors. Mookie Betts and Bobby Witt Jr. are going second and third overall in early ADP, but is it wise to build your team around them or are you better off filling other positional needs first? How are we feeling about Trea Turner coming off a relatively down year and Corey Seager coming off yet another significant injury? Who's the best value among the young cadre of Gunnar Henderson, Elly De La Cruz, C.J. Abrams, Matt McLain and Oneil Cruz? And where do Steady Eddies Bo Bichette and Xander Bogaerts fit in? Andrew and Bart discuss all that and more as they provide rankings and tiers for over 30 shortstops.

Andrew and Bart go around the horn and stop at second base in the latest edition of their position preview series. While first base has a Big 5, it seems that second has a Big 4. Mookie Betts clearly stands alone at the top, but where does Jose Altuve fit in the next three? Beyond those top-tier options, you can still find plenty of value further down the board. With guys like Andres Gimenez and Bryson Stott being drafted outside of the top-100 overall players, there's some depth at second base. Jackson Holliday could even play the position and gain eligibility there sooner rather than later! The guys discuss their rankings and tiers for 30 or so fantasy second basemen in this episode, so check it out!

In this episode, Andrew and Bart continue their position preview series with a comprehensive breakdown of the first base position. First base has a pretty clear upper echelon this season, but is it worth paying up with an early round draft pick to make sure you get one of the top five? If you end up waiting on the position, who are the best steady veterans and young upside bats to target instead? Andrew and Bart discuss that and a whole lot more as they lay out their rankings and tiers for 40+ fantasy first basemen!

With the Super Bowl right around the corner, that can only mean one thing...so is BASEBALL! Andrew and Bart get an early start this season on their position preview series and start as always with the catcher position. They discuss overall strategy for drafting a catcher and go through their tiers which have plenty of veterans and younger backstops with upside. The catcher position is surprisingly deep, and there's even one potential sleeper who isn't even eligible at the position yet (but he should be soon!).

The fantasy football semi-finals are here, and Andrew and Bart dive DEEP into each Week 16 matchup to help you navigate those crucial start/sit decisions. -Is it time to set aside brand name QBs like Tua Tagovailoa and Jared Goff in favor of a Baker Mayfield or Joe Flacco? -Is our confidence shaken in Bijan Robinson? How about Austin Ekeler? And how confident can we be about inserting Josh Jacobs and Jonathan Taylor back into our fantasy lineups? -Is this the week Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce finally give us the matchup-winning performances we've been expecting from them all along?

If not, who are some of the best QB streamers this week? Are Zack Moss and Ezekiel Elliott must starts at the running back position? Can you start too many Rams against the Commanders?

With most fantasy leagues past their trade deadline and the fantasy playoffs just around the corner, Andrew and Bart are putting out their final rest-of-season rankings of 2023 -- and then shifting gears and refocusing on weekly rankings. In this episode, they go game-by-game, touching on all the fantasy-relevant players on the Week 14 slate. Should you sit C.J. Stroud this week? How concerned should we be about Austin Ekeler? And how bullish should we be on Justin Jefferson and Dallas Goedert in their first games back from injury?
