Welcome to another episode of the FantaysPros Baseball Podcast. The show is hosted by our own Bobby Sylvester (@bobbyfantasypros). He’ll be interviewing featured experts and team correspondents who will provide insight throughout the baseball season.

Al Melchior, host of the Fantasy Baseball Hour on the FNTSY Sports Radio Network and writer for Fangraphs and Fantrax, joins us today to discuss a plethora of waiver pickups and examine expectations for a few top prospects. Some of the many questions Bobby and Al answer are who they would prefer to own between Jack Flaherty, Alex Reyes, and Zach Britton (10:05), whether Tyler O’Neill (21:35) has a shot at receiving regular playing time, and which unowned catchers are good stopgap options for Welington Castillo owners (42:53). We also spend time predicting when Vladimir Guerrero Jr. (16:49) will finally get called up, share our thoughts on recent Pirates’ call-up, Austin Meadows (26:53), and figure out if Willy Adames (39:20) has been called up for good, or is just having a cup of coffee in the majors. To conclude, the duo digs into the Listener Mailbag (44:20) to answer your questions.
