PullHitter Fantasy Baseball

I am joined by Ryan Rufe ( @RyanRufe ) to start breaking down teams. We look at Steamer and BatX projections and Fangraph Depth Charts/Roster Resource to look at any discrepancies on playing time and positions. This will be a continuing series as we cover all MLB teams. This one covers the Tampa Bay Rays. We hope to aim some useful guidance on players not heard about or written about as much as the top players many podcasts and websites cover. We will hit on some top players we may have some flags with but will try to provide analysis for picks past ADP 150. We hit on: Catcher split Who is on first? Brandon Lowe's health and impact Curtis Mead and Kyle Manzardo  Jose Siri Manuel Margot The Arm Barn Follow on Twitter @pullhitterpod  @deadpullhitter Email : pullhitterpodcast@gmail.com Encouraging feedback and comments.
