3.Oakland A’s
a.I never gave you kudos for talking up Ryan Noda last season. I drafted him very late in my NFBC Draft in 2023, and he played a lot for me. He was ok. He hit leadoff a lot, hit 16 home runs, and if I had had him in an OBP league, I would have been really happy.
i.Once again, he’s going late in drafts. Round 39. Am I crazy for taking him late in Draft and Hold Leagues?
b.Over/Under 50 stolen bases for Esteury Ruiz
c.Stat line for Lawrence Butler – AB, HR, SB, and BA
d.Any interest in Mason Miller this season? He’s going as the 105th pitcher off the board (Round 18)
e.Give me a sleeper in the organization (Minor and/or Major)

4.Seattle Mariners - This segment was recorded before the Kelenic trade
a.Jared Kelenic – Stat line for 2024 – AB, HR, SB, and BA
b.Dominic Canzone (ADP=679) and Cade Marlowe (ADP=737) are penciled into the outfield. I wouldn’t guess this sticks to the end, but who do you like as a flyer late in Draft and Hold Leagues?
c.Bryce Miller pitched to a 4.28 ERA, striking out 119 in 131 innings. It's not a stat line that jumps out at you, yet he’s going as the 72nd pitcher off the board or likely a Top 50 starting pitcher. Are you happy with him as your #4 pitcher?
i.He’s still a two-pitch pitcher with a great fastball and an OK slider.
d.Do the Mariners make the playoffs in 2024?
e.Give me a sleeper in the organization (Minor and/or Major)

5.Texas Rangers
a.Give me the arrival date for Wyatt Langford.
i.His ADP is 155 (11th round). Would you take a flyer?
b.Would you like to opine again on your platoon concerns with Evan Carter?
i.His ADP is 129, and he’s going as the 30th outfielder. We will look at other outfielders in the same area and who we like better.
c.Nate Eovaldi was great last season. He’s going as the 79th pitcher off the board (Round 14). Is this solid value, or are you worried about his workload last year and the injuries he had in the second half?
i.His ERA was 3.63, and xERA was 3.98.
d.Give me a sleeper in the organization (Minor and/or Major)
