Talking Kansas City Royals and assessing injury risk

Jaylon Thompson from The Kansas City Star visits the guys to talk about the Royals:

• What does the back end of the rotation look like with Kris Bubic, Alec Marsh, Kyle Wright, Daniel Lynch IV, and Noah Cameron all fighting for their own spot?
• What can we expect from the outfield with Hunter Renfroe, MJ Melendez, Kyle Isbel, Dairon Blanco, and Nelson Velázquez trying to stake their claim to play?
• Is Maikel Garcia ready to bounce back in 2025?
• How big of an impact will the trade for Jonathan India make on the construction of this lineup?
• Who does Jaylon Thompson like in the minor leagues?
• Is Jac Caglianone the real-deal?
• How good is Bobby Witt Jr.?
• Jaylon offers a VERY bold prediction that is well-received by the crew.

Dave McDonald joins the show and gives some very helpful tips and tricks for how to construct a roster and explains so by assessing all of the different risks involved when playing fantasy baseball.

Both Dave McDonald and Dave Funnell give their risk ratings on:

• Garrett Crochet
• Grayson Rodriguez
• Luis Robert Jr.
• Jazz Chisholm Jr.
• Tommy Edman

Mike digs deep to discuss Jeff Hoffman, Robert Suarez, and Ryan Walker, before the rest of the guys discuss the latest injury news on Hoffman.

Sean Burke is addressed, leading Chris to do something that he never thought he would do.

Finally, the Mental Health Minute brings about familiar names from our past, but just how old is Dave Funnell's player?
