We welcome guest Ed DeCaria from Baseball HQ to talk about his research into the field of playing time. Ed has written some wonderful abstracts in the BHQ Baseball Forecaster about how we can look at playing time in a better lenses than we currently are. He talks about breaking down the plate appearances into several different buckets such as active starts per week, plate appearances per active week and plate appearances per active start.

Then we get a pop in visit from Jason R.R. Martinez as Jeff Zimmerman summoned him mid pod!

Enjoy!

Welcome back! On todays show we discuss our experience in Las Vegas for the NFBC live events. Did we execute our plans? Did we follow the market helium on some of our favorite targets? Did we buy any injury dip? We also touch on our draft targets and fades as well as some players we think have the chance to emerge as big risers and fallers given their draft cost. Enjoy!

" On the infield, there will be no more shifts. Teams must have at least two fielders stationed on each side of second base, standing on the dirt. But one overlooked rule: Infielders can actually switch positions between innings (though not during innings). So say an opposing team had two lefties due up. The Tigers could conceivably move Javier Báez to second base, move Jonathan Schoop from second to third and move Nick Maton from third to short. That would allow the rangy Báez to patrol the infield against lefty hitter." We talk about how that can impact player eligibility in season and for next year as well.
