## Resource

Craig Elsten, Chris Reed, and Raphie Cantor gather on Monday, March 2nd as players ship off to their various World Baseball Classic camps in preparation for this year's tournament. They talk about Spring Training Overreactions before getting into a new game – the Fringe Guy Auction, where the three hosts buy players who they believe will be the biggest contributors on this year's team.
