J

Justin MasonHost

1:16

We are going to discuss...

J

Justin MasonHost

1:17

It's a decent fab weekend.

J

Justin MasonHost

1:19

Some...

J

Justin MasonHost

1:20

Interesting call-ups because of September call-ups that are going to be available in leagues.

J

Justin MasonHost

1:25

So not a ton of news.

J

Justin MasonHost

1:26

Unfortunately, the only piece of news is one that was not very good for you, which is Stane Raphael placed on the IL with a quad strain.

J

Justin MasonHost

1:33

This is going to be retroactive back to the third.

J

Justin MasonHost

1:37

So he could miss a week at a minimum.

J

Justin MasonHost

1:41

Are you holding on to him in places?

Jason ColletteHost

1:43

Yeah.

Jason ColletteHost

1:44

So the fact that they tried to keep him off the aisle, he went down Wednesday.

Jason ColletteHost

1:48

So they went Thursday, Friday, Saturday.

Jason ColletteHost

1:50

Wasn't good enough to ring the bell today.

Jason ColletteHost

1:52

I answered the bell.

Jason ColletteHost

1:54

So they put him on the aisle.

Jason ColletteHost

1:54

So the fact that they did not do it immediately tells me it's worth holding on to him.

Jason ColletteHost

1:59

So because it was backdated, that means he'll be eligible as soon as the 13th.

Jason ColletteHost

2:04

which is a week from today as we're recording that.

Jason ColletteHost

2:08

So he's out for one of the three scoring periods remaining.

Jason ColletteHost

2:11

And yes, I will retain him because he is on both of those first place teams.

Jason ColletteHost

2:16

And they're both AL leagues.

Jason ColletteHost

2:19

They're not mixed.

Jason ColletteHost

2:19

They're both AL.

Jason ColletteHost

2:20

So absolutely, I will be doing that.

Jason ColletteHost

2:24

What about shallower mixed? Maybe, you know, shallower mixed.
