Vladimir Guerrero Jr. slides to the end of the second round, but is fantasy baseball sleeping on the Toronto Blue Jays’ slugger? Matthew Ahne argues Guerrero’s underlying stats signal a major rebound, urging GMs to ignore recent “down year” narratives and consider proven consistency over untested upside. Should James Wood and Kyle Schwarber jump up draft boards, and is Trey Turner set for a fantasy letdown despite a standout MLB season?

Get sharp insights on risky picks like Jazz Chisholm Jr. and Pete Crow-Armstrong, and see why Matthew Ahne trusts ace arms like Hunter Brown and Chris Sale earlier than most. The episode breaks down power regression, batting metrics, and draft strategy, including the case for waiting on pitchers versus chasing elite bats.
