There were a number of recent prospect call ups and demotions and Sara and Shelly are joined by Eric Samulski to debate the players we're most into or out on.

Discussions:

Super subs with super values, do we value multi positional eligibility guys like Luis Rengifo appropriately in draft season?

Saves have been scarce on the waiver wire. Only two of the 18 players with 10 saves or more were picked up after draft day in Jason Foley and Trevor Megill. If you're low on saves, when do you decide to punt?

There were a number of interesting pitcher debuts last week, we debate Hurston Waldrep and Max Meyer rest of season (with a shoutout for DJ Herz).

Pitching is scarce in deeper leagues, which middle relievers are you most interested in to bolster your rotation -- Jeremiah Estrada or Cade Smith?

It wasn't all call ups last week, Spencer Torkelson, Reid Detmers and Parker Meadows were sent down, who are we holding onto through the demotion and why?

Both Corbin Carroll and Michael Harris II are struggling this season, who do we believe in more rest of season?

Love it or Leave it?

Not loving Garrett Stubbs' slide into Luis Torrens during the London Series.

Cosmic Baseball is the coolest thing this side of the Savannah Bananas.

Wrigley Field hosted the Chicago Red Stars and it was the largest NWSL crowd in history (herstory?).

It's after Memorial Day and that means we should have enough data to make some decisions on some players.

Discussions:

If you were lucky enough to draft number one overall, you had to make some tough decisions about who could fill in for Ronald Acuña Jr. after news that he tore his left ACL. We debate whether you should look to the Braves likely replacement in Adam Duvall or scour some other rosters for different options.

There have been some surprisingly valuable catchers this season but maybe no one as unexpected as David Fry. We debate whether he's a legit breakout or just riding a hot streak.

Back to Atlanta where one of the most valuable players in baseball is their designated hitter Marcell Ozuna. Has the 33-year old found another level or should fantasy managers sell high?

Some promising young players have struggled early, we discuss some bounce back candidates in Royce Lewis and Austin Riley.

Father time is undefeated in baseball and we explore whether Freddie Freeman is still a first round candidate next season.

Cooper Criswell was a prominent pickup a couple weeks ago because he had two starts. He got lit up by Baltimore and did well against the Tigers. We take a closer look at when two-start pitchers are a good bet.

Derek Van Riper joins Sara and Shelly to look at players off to hot (or cold) starts to 2024.

Discussions

The best starting pitchers this season didn't generally go in round one or two. Two of the guys that went right after the general consensus aces are dealing -- would you rather roster Tarik Skubal or Tyler Glasnow rest of season?

The Phillies are the best team in baseball and two of the players driving that success are Bryson Stott and Alec Bohm, which player do we think can keep it up rest of season?

Three years ago we were sure the Blue Jays were an offensive juggernaut for years to come, but their bats are struggling again to start 2024. Is it the renovations to the Rogers Centre or something else?

Returning to a recent debate with more playing time information, we can't quit Richie Palacios or Jonny DeLuca, but does one of them have a clearer path to playing time on a crowded Rays roster?

A redraft league conundrum -- Jackson Chourio has struggled to start the season, but Jake Meyers has not. Are you ready to bench Chourio for Meyers?

Luis Gil and Seth Lugo are both off to amazing starts this season, who do you trust to keep up that production going forward?
