Episode Synopsis

  Spring has sprung in MLB and something special takes over the body and mind of all baseball fans, as pitchers and catchers wander out to their respective fields on a February morning to get loose for the first time, in Florida and Arizona. It's the same feeling for the group, but different for everyone with a deep attachment to baseball, as explained by Mal and Griff. How can the Blue Jays payroll be Top 10, but they have only two of the Top 100 ranked players in the game? Top MLB prospects? No better. On the free-agent front, Alex Bregman is the last big-name free agent off the board and he chose Fenway. Griff and Mal offer up their Top 10 AL offensive Fantasy players, and more.
