Fantasy Baseball Fixers, Listener League ADP & Catching Up w/Ron Shandler

from Rates & Barrels: A show about Baseball

DVR and Eno catch up on news from Dodgers camp, an injury creating opportunity in the Brewers' rotation, listener league draft results focusing on players our leagues drafted earlier (and later). Plus, they are joined by Ron Shandler, founder of Baseball HQ and author of 'Fantasy, Reconstructed' to discuss innovating in fantasy baseball game design, his preferred draft-day tools, a few players he's been targeting this draft season, and the challenges of quantifying risk.
