[COMT] Brothers vs. Brothers: The 2026 Cardinals fWAR Draft
About this episode
The Plazas vs. The Smiths. It’s the inaugural 2026 Cardinals fWAR Draft!
Scott and Jim Plaza welcome the founders of Redbird Rundown, Matt and Jonathan Smith, for a 2026 season preview like no other. We’re drafting nine-man rosters based on FanGraphs' Wins Above Replacement (fWAR). From Masyn Winn’s superstar upside to the "sneaky" value of Ramon Urias, we break down every corner of the Cardinals' roster.
Plus, we dive into our "NASCAR" bench rules, side bets on home runs and strikeouts, and why Nelson Velazquez might be the draft’s biggest boom-or-bust pick
