Ray’s Rundown 1/4: Positional Qualifications & Free Agents

Positional qualification in 2021. What should you league be using for games played? An update on the J.T. Realmuto sweepstakes. George Springer has narrowed his options down to the Mets and the Blue Jays? DJ LeMahieu is on the Dodgers radar. Eddie Rosario is looking for a home. Perhaps he will land in Florida? Tomoyuki Sugano will decide in the next day where he will sign – and he might stay in Japan. An update on the Draft and Hold Guidebook. I’m playing in my first fantasy basketball league in a decade, and there’s a twist.

*NOTE: I mistaken flip/flopped my discussion of Draft and Hold’s (see what happens when I record early?). Draft and Hold requires weekly lineup setting. What I was talking about in the podcast was a Best Ball Cutline setup where there are only two FAAB periods.
