PullHitter Fantasy Baseball

I have on Ryan Rufe (@RyanRufe) to breakdown some noteworthy trends/platoon splits, playing time tidbits to help with lineup setting for the Friday-Sunday period. This pod can also help with daily moves as well as the information can help make decisions for the weekend ahead. We mention several players that could be useful in deeper draft and hold formats. Then we attack Ryans specialty, arm barns- and discuss some teams that could be facing shifts in their leverage usage in the future.
