The guys review their current draft picks with Nathan Grimm

Mike, Dave, and Chris go over the most actionable news out of Spring Training:

• Spencer Strider looks healthy
• Ronald Acuña Jr. looks to be taking things slowly
• Ben Rice looks to be in line for additional playing time.

Nathan Grimm joins the show, and Colt Keith is the topic of discussion on how we assess rookies and second-year players in their earliest seasons.

Nathan takes a moment to roast the guys in a way that encapsulates their qualities and characteristics perfectly.

Then we take a look at Mike's GLARF draft. Players discussed:

• Mookie Betts
• Zack Wheeler
• Rafael Devers
• James Wood
• Robert Suarez
• Luis Rengifo
• Drew Rasmussen
• Griffin Jax
• Justin Verlander
• Charlie Morton
• Andrew Benintendi
• MJ Melendez

Dave gives an update on Brayan Bello's health before giving his risk assessment grade.

Nathan's SLARF team is examined as well. Players discussed:

• Francisco Lindor
• Bryce Harper
• Jacob deGrom
• Blake Snell
• Ryan Walker
• Tanner Scott
• Dylan Crews
• Josh Lowe
• Jonathan Aranda

We answer an important listener question about stacking players from the same team.

Finally, it's time for the Mental Health Minute.
