2026/01/31
On The Wire - Adam Howe and Kevin Hasting kick off their 2026 fantasy baseball category previews by breaking down power (HR & RBI) and why it has quietly become harder to replace later in drafts.

Trust your draft instincts and plan for in-season maintenance

K ꓘ 183 - Listener League Draft Recap - Part I
2026/01/26
Keep or Kut - Pete (@PeteBBaseball) and Chad Young (@chadyoung) just finished up a keeper league draft with 10 listeners and take some time to go through interesting picks and keeps.
4:13 - Chad and Pete pick 1-2 and the first tough calls of the draft came because Pete was "stuck" with a util-only bat at 1.1.
10:44 - Right off the start, you get guys being taken over ADP - even in the first round. But because of keepers, team structure and more, it's less a reach and more a pick that makes sense.
20:01 - Did Matt Heckman jump too early on Wyatt Langford? And how do we feel about a second round keeper price on Cal Raleigh?
23:11 - Third and fourth round keepers are high priced but generally make sense once you have context.
27:34 - George Springer is a great example of old guy value and he comes with real upside even at a high cost.
30:04 - We move into the fifth and sixth rounds, and Chad jumps into a mini-closer run, because he was committed to chasing saves because he kept a first closer.
37:40 - Eugenio Suárez is a solid pick with real upside and a deflated ADP because we don't know where he will land.
39:28 - Moving into the seventh round, we start to see teams reach for big upside and long-term keepers for the first time - and it might be happening earlier this year than last.
52:12 - Onto the ninth and tenth rounds where the draft swung back to old boring guys, but there are still a few names - even among the old guys! - with keeper upside.
59:05 - We move into the 11th and 12th rounds, and we're all reaching now, plus maybe we over-drafted closers early?

OTW 240 - Respect Your Elders; Drafting Players 35 & Older
2026/01/21
Adam Howe and Kevin Hasting break down fantasy-relevant MLB veterans who will be 35 or older in 2026, discussing why age-based discounts often go too far in drafts. Position by position, they evaluate starters, relievers, and hitters who still provide stable volume, category juice, or late-draft value—especially in NFBC-style formats. The episode emphasizes trusting skills, roles, and projections over age bias while building balanced fantasy rosters.
0:00–6:30 — Episode Setup & Draft Philosophy
Why veteran players are often overdocked due to age
Can you build a competitive roster leaning heavily on 35+ players?
Format considerations (NFBC, draft-and-hold, redraft)
Setting criteria: age 35+ entering 2026 season
6:30–32:00 — Veteran Starting Pitchers
Core discussion around innings, risk, and projection value
Players discussed:
Chris Sale, Jacob deGrom. Cole Ragans, Hunter Greene, Max Fried, Brian Woo, Merrill Kelly, Matthew Boyd, Kyle Hendricks (historical comp), Seth Lugo, Yusei Kikuchi, Shota Imanaga Sugano
Key themes:
Sale and deGrom as high-impact SP1/SP2 options despite capped innings
Trusting elite ratios over raw innings totals
Backfilling innings rather than chasing 200-IP arms early
“Old and boring” starters stabilizing WHIP and ERA late
32:00–48:00 — Veteran Relievers & Closers
Evaluating save security vs ADP cost
Players discussed:
Aroldis Chapman, Raisel Iglesias, Kenley Jansen, Robert Suarez, David Bednar, Josh Hader, Devin Williams, Ryan Helsley, Emilio Pagán, Sean Armstrong
Key themes:
Iglesias vs Chapman at cost
Concerns about Chapman’s WHIP and role volatility
Jansen as a discount saves source
Drafting proven closers over speculative youth
48:00–1:05:00 — Infield Veterans (2B, 3B, MI)
Why some aging infielders still matter
Players discussed:
Marcus Semien, José Altuve, Gleyber Torres, Jorge Polanco, Matt McLain, Nolan Arenado, Max Muncy, Josh Bell, Mauricio Dubón, Miguel Rojas, Munetaka Murakami, Kazuma Okamoto
Key themes:
No true veteran fallback at shortstop
Semien as a volume-driven safety net at 2B
Arenado as a last-round corner infielder target
OBP vs AVG format differences for Muncy
1:05:00–1:25:00 — Veteran Outfielders & DHs
Discounted power and lineup context
Players discussed:
George Springer, Giancarlo Stanton, Randy Arozarena, Seiya Suzuki, Oneil Cruz, Michael Harris II, Tommy Pham, Aaron Judge (contextual)
Key themes:
Springer as a mispriced leadoff hitter
Stanton’s power vs inconsistent playing time
Using veterans as category specialists
Streaming vs drafting fragile bats
1:25:00–1:40:00 — Draft Strategy Wrap-Up
Age bias creating consistent market inefficiencies
Knowing when to push veterans above ADP
Format-driven aggressiveness
Trusting projections and roles over narrative
1:40:00–1:45:00 — Closing Thoughts
Spring training and draft season approach
Position and category previews coming soon
Final endorsement of balanced veteran usage
