    Ep 281 | Outfielders Outside the Top 20
    In a flurry of activity the MLBPA and MLB finally agreed to a new CBA and folks, we officially will have baseball for the 2022 season. This relieves some of the bitterness that Van, Brian, and Ron were feeling so they decided to wrap up their episodes on outfielders! The boys talk players outside the top 20 and determine who they like best. They chat J.D. Martinez, Christian Yelich, Andrew Benintendi, and plenty more!

    Ep 280 | Top 20 Outfielders
    We've left the infield and find ourselves sitting in the grass tossing our glove in the air and singing about nothing as the guys of the Nasty Cast talk the top 20 outfielders! The position is so big (since there are, you know, three of them) we decided to cover them all across two episodes. We're talking elite bats, huge power hitters, and of course Whit Merrifield too. So tune in to find out what Brian, Van, and Ron have to say about Kyle Tucker, Mookie Betts, and more!

    Ep 279 | Shortstop Positional Review
    Ron may have come down with a case of Ronitis, but Van and Brian soldier through what is probably the most star-studded position in fantasy baseball this year by tackling shortstops! The duo talk everyone from Fernando Tatis Jr and Trea Turner up top to (shudder) Gleyber Torres somewhere in the middle to deeper names like Jorge Mateo, Niko Goodrum, and more

    Ep 278 | Third Base Positional Review
    We're almost home! Well, Ron, Van, and Brian ARE home, but this is an analogy and 'home' is home plate. But you likely knew that if you're listening to this show since we doubt people who know nothing of baseball listen to baseball podcasts, but who knows! Anyway the boys look deep into third base and talk all the hot players at the hot corner (and Adalberto Mondesi), giving you their favorite buys, sells, and everything in between. Plus a new game!

    Speaking of which, if you're here solely for the third base preview you can skip ahead to 28:50. There's Hall of Fame complaining and other baseball stuff early but we get it if you just want the hard information

    Ep 277 | Second Base Positional Review
    The Keystone! Second base has baffled many an analyst but Van, Ron, and Brian are here to break it all down into simple terms that anyone can understand: don't draft Gleyber Torres. Well that and plenty more as the boys run down the list of second baseman determining who they like, who they really like, and who they don't care for

    Ep 276 | First Base Positional Review
    Van, Ron, and Brian leave the disgusting muddled swamp that is fantasy baseball catchers in the dust and shift their focus to the slightly less disgusting muddled swamp that is fantasy baseball first baseman! Long gone are the days of every first baseman being a .300 hitter with 40 HR but that doesn't mean the position is devoid of ANY talent. The boys have some different opinions about who they like at the cold corner, so tune in and find out who they like and why

    Ep 275 | Catcher Positional Review
    The Nasty Cast makes its triumphant return for the 2022 season as Van, Brian, and Ron gather to discuss everyone's favorite crap position - catcher! The fellas talk through the catcher draft rankings determining whether it's a good or bad idea to draft each guy at their cost, and they have big things to say about J.T. Realmuto, Daulton Varsho, Adley Rutschman, and plenty of other less exciting names! Of course they also give everyone a treat by coming up with some bold predictions for the coming season, some of which are far more likely than others to actually happen
