Scott’s Top 300 Hitters List
Brett and Scott talk about the shifts in playing time around the league, some surprising names on Opening Day rosters and if they matter for fantasy purposes. Scott and Brett add a handful of their favorite late-round targets and Scott crushes the dreams – or at least tempers the expectations – of those hoping for big things out of young prospects. Cam Smith and Kristian Campbell fantasy managers, you’ve been warned.
