Show Notes

Eno and DVR break down the third base position, which offers a handful of intriguing mid-round values, but might require some early attention given the drop-off at the position outside the Top 200 overall. Is Austin Riley catching too much helium coming off of an excellent 2021? Should you pay the Adalberto Mondesi Tax? Is there still early-round potential in the likes of Nolan Arenado, Alex Bregman, Kris Bryant and Anthony Rendon? Plus, if you wait at the position, where you can find undervalued players outside the Top 100?
