The BP Top Ten is out and the guys run through some overall thoughts on the list, as well as some strong opinions by Isaac on one particular player.
Then we chat about some players to keep an eye on that didn't make the top ten and why we like them.
We close it out with Ryan regaling us on his coverage of the Cubs Convention over the weekend.
P.S. We're trying out a new piece of software, so please let us know if you like the sound on this one—it should be better than before.

Episode 40: PECOTA Projections and Cubs add pitching depth

Projections are fun because fresh stats in the winter are like a warm hug from an old friend you haven't seen in a long time.
But that's all they are: projections, and the guys highlight some interesting outliers.
Then they discuss some recent SP signings and what they mean for 2018. Then Isaac drops out because he's so important and his computer hates him.
At which point Ryan and Carlos heroically carry on for a few more minutes before signing off.
Baseball will be here soon, folks, and all will be better.
