Michael Richards (@mprichards1981) of Rotofanatic and Prospects Worldwide fame joins Van, Ron, and Brian to talk Seattle Mariners on today's show! This farm system is a pretty darn good one and that's mostly thanks to the elite group near the top including Jarred Kelenic, Julio Rogriguez, and Logan Gilbert, but there's plenty to like further down the list!

Van, Brian, and Ron head west as they take the time to stop and sniff the snakes with a hearty look at the Arizona Diamondbacks' top prospects. It's a pretty solid system with big names like Kristian Robinson, Corbin Carroll, and Alek Thomas at the top, but also some intriguing names later on Luis Frias and Slade Cecconi!

Van's Angels are not only the subject of one of the worst sitcom ideas since Rigney (you know, like Frasier) but they are also the baseball subject of today's show!

They'll talk about the big names like Reid Detmers and Brandon Marsh, but also some intriguing flyers like Chris Rodriguez, Arol Vera, and everyone's favorite baseball sleuth Jack Kochanowicz!

The Major League version of the Tigers might not be all that exciting but the minor league version is straight fire! Van, Ron, and Brian decide the best way to discuss these elite prospects is to invite a real Tigers fan to show and none other than Michael Govier of Rotofanatic is more than up for the challenge. The crew talks the big names like Torkelson and Mize, but also some deeper names like Isaac Paredes, Joey Wentz, and many more!

Wander Franco may still be king of the Rays' prospects but there are plenty of other awesome names in this cheap, efficient, and smart team's farm system!

It's a great time to be a Rays fan so tune in to find out which of these guys is worth your time and attention (hint: most of them)!

The boys continue to analyze the industry dynasty league mock draft that they are a part of and Eric, Ron, Van, and Nate have plenty of thoughts on great picks like Roberto Osuna and Spencer Howard, bad picks like (REDACTED AND SHALL NOT BE NAMED TO HONOR OUR COLLEAGUES), and some good pitcher discussion in the 9th round as well

Fans are getting antsy and talks about resuming baseball are starting to circulate, so the boys of Fantrax Dynasty Baseball decided it would be a good time to have a dynasty mock draft!
