Before we hit the outfield, we have to discuss the latest news (2:34) regarding David Price opting out and the latest positive COVID tests. Who steps into the Dodgers rotation? How do we approach Freddie Freeman now? ... Onto the top five picks in Fantasy Baseball... they're all outfielders (11:03). Is it time to downgrade Mike Trout? Who do we prefer when it comes to Ronald Acuña vs. Christian Yelich? How about Mookie Betts vs. Cody Bellinger? ... Juan Soto is on an island towards the back half of the first round (21:17). Where does he rank among that group of hitters for Fantasy? ... Rounds 2-3 are filled with some big names (26:23), including JD Martinez, Bryce Harper, Starling Marte, and Charlie Blackmon. Are Martinez's splits worrisome? Should you consider Marte ahead of Harper and Martinez because of category scarcity? ... Onto rounds 4-5, why is Scott higher on Ketel Marte than everybody else (38:39)? Is Aaron Judge slipping too far? What is Eloy Jimenez's upside? ... Rounds 6-7 features Chris' favorite player of all time... Giancarlo Stanton (54:00)! We settle the Stanton vs. Jorge Soler debate (kind of). ... Email us at fantasybaseball@cbsi.com .
