Fresh off his Chiefs Super Bowl win, David is back with Justin and James and they react to the PECOTA projections that were released just before recording. In the spirit of Valentine’s Day, each host gives the one pitch he has a crush on. The gang then reacts to the extensions given to Yu Darvish and Christian Javier, and whether new Astros GM Dana Brown will copy the model he worked with in Atlanta by signing Houston’s young, core-players to team friendly extensions. The hosts touch on the crackdown of position players pitching, the adversity in front of the Rays and whether we need to temper expectations with the Yankees starting rotation in the wake of Nestor Cortes’ injury. Now that Derek Jeter has entered the broadcasting world, Justin asks whether we’ll see Derek Jeter calling Yankee games in 2023.
