WEBVTT - 12 Draft Day Bargains (EP. 775) 0:00:05.960 --> 0:00:08.360 Welcome in everybody to Fantasy pros. This is the Fantasy 0:00:08.400 --> 0:00:09.400 Baseball Podcast. 0:00:09.440 --> 0:00:11.800 This is Joe Pisapia here with me as always is 0:00:11.840 --> 0:00:13.960 the Welsh, and it's time to take. 0:00:13.800 --> 0:00:15.240 A look at some draft day bargains. 0:00:15.280 --> 0:00:18.239 We've got twelve names for you that we think are 0:00:18.600 --> 0:00:22.400 just priced right for you to get the most Fantasy 0:00:22.400 --> 0:00:23.520 baseball goodness out of. 0:00:23.520 --> 0:00:24.560 In twenty twenty four. 0:00:24.640 --> 0:00:27.280 Before we get to those names, Welsh, we did have 0:00:27.360 --> 0:00:32.120 a signing finally, after what seems like the most eternally 0:00:32.280 --> 0:00:35.680 long offseason ever for certain guys, including Blake SNeW who 0:00:35.760 --> 0:00:38.680 now finds himself on the San Francisco Giants. He joins 0:00:38.800 --> 0:00:41.320 Logan Webb at the top of that rotation. So before 0:00:41.320 --> 0:00:44.280 we dive into some bargain hunting, this is I think 0:00:44.320 --> 0:00:46.720 a must sign kind of for the Giants. They desperately 0:00:46.720 --> 0:00:51.000 needed somebody else there with Webb, Kyle Harrison, Jordan Hicks 0:00:51.240 --> 0:00:53.280 and Keaton Win right now, those are the back end 0:00:53.320 --> 0:00:55.440 starters for this rotation. But let's talk about Blake snell 0:00:55.760 --> 0:00:58.400 two year deal. There is an opt out, but certainly 0:00:58.400 --> 0:01:00.720 a great win for the Giants, escially because didn't have 0:01:00.720 --> 0:01:02.280 to commit a very long term contract to it. 0:01:02.400 --> 0:01:03.640 Yeah, and that's what they've been doing. 0:01:03.640 --> 0:01:06.760 They've been not committing these big long term contracts to 0:01:06.800 --> 0:01:10.600 be competitive in this division where the Dodgers or powerhouses. 0:01:10.800 --> 0:01:12.200 You know, the Podgers. 0:01:11.920 --> 0:01:14.440 Made some interesting moves, but they've been a little flatlined 0:01:14.480 --> 0:01:17.520 until the Dylan C's trade Diamondbacks. Obviously, World Series, you 0:01:17.560 --> 0:01:19.760 want to stay competitive. This is a great way to 0:01:19.840 --> 0:01:22.040 do it. And they're setting themselves up where you've got 0:01:22.040 --> 0:01:24.640 a one two punch of Web and Snell for the 0:01:24.680 --> 0:01:27.320 foreseeable future if healthy on the back end, and they 0:01:27.319 --> 0:01:29.440 were to make a playoff run, they got Robbie Ray. 0:01:29.640 --> 0:01:32.600 So this is a big l for Scott Boris and 0:01:32.640 --> 0:01:35.039 the money. At least Snell did get, you know, a 0:01:35.080 --> 0:01:38.000 thirty million dollars deal per year, and it looks like 0:01:38.040 --> 0:01:39.800 he's going to be able to have his opt outs. 0:01:39.959 --> 0:01:43.520 But what is so fascinating is we were out the precipice. 0:01:43.640 --> 0:01:46.520 We were about to explode where we were going to 0:01:46.600 --> 0:01:49.360 say we can't draft Blake Snell. It was already getting there. 0:01:49.360 --> 0:01:50.800 We can't do it, we can't do it. But then 0:01:50.800 --> 0:01:51.400 we find out. 0:01:51.520 --> 0:01:53.720 Not a current ADP. We couldn't, but well, the. 0:01:53.680 --> 0:01:55.520 ADP was high, it was in the sixties, but then 0:01:55.800 --> 0:01:58.000 over the last week on NFBC had been moving down 0:01:58.000 --> 0:02:00.880 into the eighties. That's what I'm saying, three or four 0:02:00.960 --> 0:02:04.000 days from it moving down into like post one, you know, 0:02:04.080 --> 0:02:07.120 fifty or something like that. But we got the word 0:02:07.240 --> 0:02:10.240 a couple days ago that he did pitch a full 0:02:10.480 --> 0:02:13.440 four inning simulated game, which kind of shows how he's 0:02:13.480 --> 0:02:16.160 been ramping up. I think there's a decent possibility that 0:02:16.200 --> 0:02:18.040 the ramp up is going to be minimal and maybe 0:02:18.080 --> 0:02:20.760 he misses just like a game or two, or they 0:02:20.800 --> 0:02:23.360 just skip in the rotation. This is a great destination 0:02:23.720 --> 0:02:26.600 and I think we can be a little bit optimistic, 0:02:26.639 --> 0:02:29.840 and hopefully not sure we will, but hopefully we can 0:02:30.200 --> 0:02:33.040 take the discount on Snell if you're in the Snell market, 0:02:33.040 --> 0:02:34.359 because he's a little polarizing. 0:02:34.520 --> 0:02:34.880 He is. 0:02:35.000 --> 0:02:37.560 Boy, what a great division to Arizona go into a 0:02:37.600 --> 0:02:40.200 World Series last year the Juggernaut Dodgers. Now the Giants 0:02:40.280 --> 0:02:41.880 kind of Hey, I was saying, hey, we're gonna be 0:02:41.880 --> 0:02:44.120 competitive in this thing too, and they were busy this offseason. 0:02:44.360 --> 0:02:47.520 They went out there and they signed sol Air, Junghu Lee, 0:02:47.880 --> 0:02:50.440 Matt Chapman. So the Giants are making moves out there, 0:02:50.440 --> 0:02:53.000 which is good. You want teams to be spending money 0:02:53.320 --> 0:02:55.760 on players, not just pocketing it. So that's a good thing, 0:02:55.840 --> 0:02:58.520 good environment for Blake Snell, and still where he's got 0:02:58.520 --> 0:03:00.359 to go out there and performance on some seven deal 0:03:00.360 --> 0:03:02.560 where we can just kind of rest on the laurels. 0:03:02.639 --> 0:03:04.960 So let's get into some of the draft day bargains 0:03:04.960 --> 0:03:05.919 everybody we're talking about. 0:03:05.960 --> 0:03:07.000 These are players. 0:03:06.720 --> 0:03:09.600 Going from somewhere between one hundred to two hundred and 0:03:09.639 --> 0:03:13.400 ADP overall consensus, which you can find at fantasypros dot com. 0:03:13.440 --> 0:03:15.560 Of course on our rankings page for MLB. You can 0:03:15.600 --> 0:03:18.200 also find the draftkit on there, which is free, so 0:03:18.200 --> 0:03:18.840 you could check. 0:03:18.720 --> 0:03:19.400 That out also. 0:03:19.560 --> 0:03:21.880 So Welsh, why don't you kick things off with a guy? 0:03:21.919 --> 0:03:24.440 And you got to the show sheet first? This was 0:03:24.480 --> 0:03:26.560 the first guy I was gonna run to, really, and 0:03:26.600 --> 0:03:28.640 you put him in the show sheet? So turn about 0:03:28.680 --> 0:03:29.320 is fair play? 0:03:29.360 --> 0:03:31.320 My friend, Ah, I did not know that this was 0:03:31.360 --> 0:03:31.919 gonna happen. 0:03:31.960 --> 0:03:33.880 That's a great thing to hear, by the way, you know, 0:03:34.600 --> 0:03:37.440 differentiating a lot of the different topics we've talked about, 0:03:37.440 --> 0:03:39.000 and this is, you know, a brand new one of 0:03:39.080 --> 0:03:42.560 draft day bargains. It lives in the same general family 0:03:42.600 --> 0:03:45.800 as you know, the breakouts and the sleepers and stuff 0:03:45.840 --> 0:03:50.360 like that. But the identification here clearly is like, these 0:03:50.400 --> 0:03:53.400 guys are really good deals at what they do. Upside 0:03:53.480 --> 0:03:56.120 is I'm not really sure, but where they're going just 0:03:56.320 --> 0:03:59.240 doesn't quite make sense to what they produce. And that 0:03:59.360 --> 0:04:03.080 player that jumps out to me is katel Marte. No 0:04:03.240 --> 0:04:06.760 homerism attached. Put it aside here. I know my a 0:04:06.760 --> 0:04:10.640 Diamondbacks fan, but katel Marte last season two seventy six average, 0:04:10.840 --> 0:04:15.360 twenty five homers, ninety four runs, eighty two RBI, and 0:04:15.520 --> 0:04:19.400 eight stolen bases. Projections have him in the twenty homers again, 0:04:19.640 --> 0:04:23.120 have him near the ten stolen bases anywhere from the 0:04:23.200 --> 0:04:26.880 high eighties on. Really both the run and RBI numbers, 0:04:27.160 --> 0:04:30.760 everything is still in play. After low strikeout numbers, he 0:04:30.800 --> 0:04:33.880 had a double digit walk rate and his actual hitting profile. 0:04:34.240 --> 0:04:37.479 He increased his hard hit percentage this past year. He 0:04:37.640 --> 0:04:41.360 increased year over year his barrel percentage, his expected batting average. 0:04:41.360 --> 0:04:45.200 His expected numbers were within a general space of where 0:04:45.240 --> 0:04:47.280 it needs to be. And one thing Katel has always done, 0:04:47.320 --> 0:04:49.760 he actually did at the highest degree. He always is 0:04:49.760 --> 0:04:51.320 one of those guys that is one of the hardest 0:04:51.360 --> 0:04:54.080 hit balls in baseball. Every single season, you're going to 0:04:54.160 --> 0:04:57.080 find the leader board for the max EV top ten. 0:04:57.200 --> 0:04:59.320 Katel's going to get in there, but his average EV 0:04:59.680 --> 0:05:01.800 they could and sometimes kind of float around, Like here's 0:05:01.800 --> 0:05:04.960 an example in twenty eighteen with the Diamondbacks. He had 0:05:05.000 --> 0:05:09.200 a one fifteen point one MaxV but an eighty eight average. 0:05:09.240 --> 0:05:11.800 So the average hits well. Last year was tied for 0:05:11.839 --> 0:05:14.040 a career high of ninety one point one. So she's 0:05:14.080 --> 0:05:17.440 been making better contact, finding some comfort in stealing. Maybe 0:05:17.440 --> 0:05:19.240 the Diamonbacks are gonna want to steal a little bit more. 0:05:19.440 --> 0:05:22.159 But the big important thing here is the low ADP. 0:05:22.400 --> 0:05:25.400 It pushes near outside the top one hundred, and when 0:05:25.440 --> 0:05:28.120 you look at the scope of the second basement that 0:05:28.160 --> 0:05:30.279 are out there. I'm not saying you don't take Azzi 0:05:30.320 --> 0:05:33.880 Albi's to take katl Marte, but the line between Ozzi 0:05:33.960 --> 0:05:37.840 Albi's atka tell Marte, especially considering the ADP value, is. 0:05:37.760 --> 0:05:40.000 Something to pay attention to. And not all positions have this. 0:05:40.080 --> 0:05:42.719 I've said that, like, I don't think I personally don't 0:05:42.760 --> 0:05:45.120 think third base has that close of a line. I 0:05:45.120 --> 0:05:49.279 don't think first base necessarily has that line, outfield shortan. 0:05:49.279 --> 0:05:51.760 You know they can all do that second base. There 0:05:51.800 --> 0:05:55.400 are some good depthy options and Katel Marte I think 0:05:55.440 --> 0:05:56.960 is one of the best draft day bargains. 0:05:57.640 --> 0:05:58.800 I could not agree more. 0:05:59.120 --> 0:06:00.960 This was again the first guy that came into my 0:06:01.040 --> 0:06:03.560 mind when we were talking about this topic. And so 0:06:03.800 --> 0:06:06.039 you could take Welsh's homerism even if he had it 0:06:06.040 --> 0:06:08.400 for Marte off the table because I'm co sunning this 0:06:08.440 --> 0:06:08.880 as well. 0:06:09.320 --> 0:06:11.080 You mentioned that pivot. If you don't get Simmy, you 0:06:11.080 --> 0:06:13.160 don't get Albi's. This is the pivot. 0:06:13.200 --> 0:06:15.359 I mean, what a fantastic guy right around one hundred. 0:06:15.360 --> 0:06:17.599 Speaking of guys going around one hundred, at one oh three, 0:06:17.839 --> 0:06:20.880 says Azuki, who I actually just drafted in our last 0:06:20.920 --> 0:06:23.240 mock draft, and after I took him, I was like, 0:06:23.279 --> 0:06:25.280 you know, why don't I have more shares of this guy? 0:06:25.600 --> 0:06:27.760 And last year, going into the season, I was a 0:06:27.760 --> 0:06:30.240 little bit skeptical even as rookie year, I was somebody saying, look, 0:06:30.279 --> 0:06:31.839 let's pump the brakes, let's see what this guy is. 0:06:32.160 --> 0:06:34.560 He was pretty good in twenty twenty two. I wouldn't 0:06:34.560 --> 0:06:36.839 say he was great. Two sixty batting average, fourteen homers 0:06:36.960 --> 0:06:38.520 and only played one hundred and eleven games. He missed 0:06:38.520 --> 0:06:40.320 some time with injury. Last year, he missed some time 0:06:40.360 --> 0:06:42.119 with injury two but one hundred and thirty eight games. 0:06:42.279 --> 0:06:44.000 He saw the power develop a little bit more twenty 0:06:44.040 --> 0:06:46.800 homers for him, the batting average jump twenty points over 0:06:46.920 --> 0:06:49.280 a longer period of time. You'll love to see the 0:06:49.320 --> 0:06:52.440 growth there. You see the walk rate is around ten percent. 0:06:52.520 --> 0:06:56.000 That's really solid. And would you consider Welsh That outfield 0:06:56.000 --> 0:06:58.440 is so problematic and you're looking for a guy with 0:06:58.520 --> 0:07:01.000 decent value. I'm looking at the project right now. He's 0:07:01.040 --> 0:07:03.320 gonna hit in the two hole in this order, in 0:07:03.320 --> 0:07:05.240 front of Cody Bellinger, behind me and half. That's a 0:07:05.240 --> 0:07:08.279 really good spot to be a good favorable home ball park. 0:07:08.680 --> 0:07:12.200 Seventy seven runs, twenty two homers, seventy five ribies, nine steals. 0:07:12.600 --> 0:07:13.520 That feels pretty good. 0:07:13.560 --> 0:07:15.560 Now, have him been a two seventy batting average, even 0:07:15.560 --> 0:07:18.240 if he just kind of matches this at adp of 0:07:18.280 --> 0:07:20.240 one oho three, I think that's a really good value. 0:07:20.240 --> 0:07:23.600 But if you add in the possibility that that run 0:07:23.640 --> 0:07:25.280 total if the Cubs do what I think the Cubs 0:07:25.280 --> 0:07:27.320 are capable of doing, which is not only competing but 0:07:27.320 --> 0:07:29.760 maybe winning this division. You're only gonna run total over 0:07:29.760 --> 0:07:32.200 the ninety mark if he hits that, If he gets 0:07:32.240 --> 0:07:35.000 from twenty two and runs to maybe squeaks out twenty five, 0:07:35.400 --> 0:07:37.400 if he can get that stolen base total into double 0:07:37.440 --> 0:07:39.960 digits and maybe maintain that two to eighty batting average, 0:07:40.000 --> 0:07:42.240 it's gonna be a really special player at this return. 0:07:42.280 --> 0:07:45.040 And I think as an outfielder three slash four, you 0:07:45.080 --> 0:07:47.160 could do a lot worse than say a Suzuki. And 0:07:47.200 --> 0:07:49.800 I again, I think he just gets passed over. You know, 0:07:49.880 --> 0:07:51.280 he's a guy we kind of take for grinting a 0:07:51.280 --> 0:07:53.640 little bit, and I don't think we should. Well, she's 0:07:53.640 --> 0:07:55.280 the next guy on your list in terms of draft 0:07:55.320 --> 0:07:55.880 day bargains. 0:07:55.960 --> 0:07:58.080 Yeah, I just want to throw out, like I try 0:07:58.080 --> 0:08:00.480 to get my shares of Suzuki, I just cannot forget them. 0:08:00.480 --> 0:08:01.000 I want them. 0:08:01.040 --> 0:08:04.040 He's like a chasing amey, Like I'm always chasing Suzuki 0:08:04.080 --> 0:08:05.320 and I can't quite get to him. 0:08:05.400 --> 0:08:08.200 That's one of the lesser Kevin Smith movies, Chasing It's 0:08:08.240 --> 0:08:09.840 coming out. Let's see that one. It used to be 0:08:09.880 --> 0:08:11.640 on IFC a lot and then they pulled it. 0:08:11.920 --> 0:08:14.200 Sequel coming out in Fall. You're gonna love it. But 0:08:14.480 --> 0:08:15.160 I agree because it. 0:08:15.200 --> 0:08:17.560 Hit with a fourth Clerks movie. How many Clerks movies 0:08:17.560 --> 0:08:17.840 do we have? 0:08:17.880 --> 0:08:19.800 Now we have two? We have two too many. We 0:08:19.800 --> 0:08:20.680 were good with just one. 0:08:20.760 --> 0:08:23.239 So all right, but number two I'm actually gonna stick 0:08:23.240 --> 0:08:26.840 in the outfield and I'm gonna go with Taoscar Hernandez. 0:08:26.880 --> 0:08:31.200 Taoscar Hernandez with an ADP average of one oh eight. 0:08:31.320 --> 0:08:34.560 Not one site has him inside the top one hundred. 0:08:34.720 --> 0:08:36.800 As a matter of fact, even ESPN has got him 0:08:36.840 --> 0:08:40.560 around one forty nine, so almost one fifty. Now why 0:08:40.600 --> 0:08:44.040 ta Oscar Hernandez. Well, you're getting him out of the 0:08:44.080 --> 0:08:47.000 bad ballpark in Seattle where he still hit twenty six 0:08:47.080 --> 0:08:50.400 ommers last year ninety three RBIs with a two to 0:08:50.440 --> 0:08:53.160 fifty eight batting average. His batting average is sunk the 0:08:53.240 --> 0:08:56.080 last three years, but we haven't dipped under two fifty 0:08:56.200 --> 0:08:58.240 and we had bad ballpark factors. Really, frankly, if you're 0:08:58.240 --> 0:09:00.160 looking at like even like Toronto to Seattle and now 0:09:00.200 --> 0:09:03.600 you're going to the Dodgers where it's better. But also 0:09:03.960 --> 0:09:07.040 the offense, that's the big major focus is what this 0:09:07.200 --> 0:09:09.920 offense is going to be. You've got a guy forty 0:09:10.000 --> 0:09:12.560 nine point four percent hard hit rate, this past season, 0:09:12.840 --> 0:09:15.520 he sits between forty eight and fifty two, so big 0:09:15.559 --> 0:09:17.400 hard hit numbers. He gets the ball in the air, 0:09:17.559 --> 0:09:20.760 he hits the ball hard thirteen point eight percent barrel percentage. 0:09:20.880 --> 0:09:23.720 Those are hitting metrics that we love. Those go along 0:09:23.760 --> 0:09:27.640 with sustainable expected stats. His expected batting average was actually 0:09:27.640 --> 0:09:30.320 the exact same number as his batting average. And at 0:09:30.320 --> 0:09:32.880 the end of the day, you give me a power 0:09:32.880 --> 0:09:36.280 bat like that in a better ballpark, on a better team, 0:09:36.559 --> 0:09:39.240 that's going to turn the lineup over more. He's going 0:09:39.320 --> 0:09:42.600 to have more opportunity that could move him up the lineup. Now, 0:09:42.600 --> 0:09:45.319 sure this lineup is so good, he could be hitting 0:09:45.480 --> 0:09:48.319 six or seven, but the RBI opportunities are going to 0:09:48.400 --> 0:09:49.760 be there. If you want to look at some of 0:09:49.760 --> 0:09:53.400 the projection systems, ATC has twenty six homers two sixty 0:09:53.440 --> 0:09:57.320 one with seven stolen bases. The bat X twenty nine homers, 0:09:57.400 --> 0:10:00.680 ten stolen bases, eighty plus on the run RBIs with 0:10:00.679 --> 0:10:02.880 a two to sixty eight batting average. I think he 0:10:03.000 --> 0:10:06.800 is crossing thirty good shot at thirty five homers this year, 0:10:07.160 --> 0:10:11.080 and he's going outside the top one hundred. Outfield can 0:10:11.160 --> 0:10:14.440 get kind of pretty quick. It can get away from you. 0:10:14.960 --> 0:10:18.280 But Taoscar Hernandez, even in a three outfielder league, I 0:10:18.280 --> 0:10:21.000 think is a prime target. In a three outfielder league, 0:10:21.040 --> 0:10:24.040 if you can already have two guys, he's your third. 0:10:24.080 --> 0:10:28.280 In a five outfielder league, even more priority because that 0:10:28.480 --> 0:10:31.760 power back. The value of the really the four categories 0:10:31.800 --> 0:10:34.480 with a little sprinkle of stolen bases is immense. In 0:10:34.520 --> 0:10:36.840 one of the best lineups in baseball, Taskar Hernandez a 0:10:36.920 --> 0:10:38.520 definite draft day bargain. 0:10:38.480 --> 0:10:40.800 His career high one hundred and sixteen RBI back in 0:10:40.880 --> 0:10:43.520 twenty twenty one, Welsh, I think he could match that. 0:10:43.720 --> 0:10:45.280 I think he can go over one hundred this year 0:10:45.280 --> 0:10:48.640 in this Dodger lineup if everyone stays healthy and this Dodger. 0:10:48.360 --> 0:10:49.680 Lineup does what it's supposed to do. 0:10:49.960 --> 0:10:52.280 And you mentioned about like that outfield cliff that we 0:10:52.320 --> 0:10:53.000 always talk about. 0:10:53.200 --> 0:10:55.160 If you're in a five active outfielder. 0:10:54.760 --> 0:10:57.319 League, you have to be looking around this range here 0:10:57.400 --> 0:10:59.760 we mentioned Suzuki mentioned Hernandez. I've got another one on 0:10:59.800 --> 0:11:02.160 my list here, Lane Thomas, who you know, everyone's just 0:11:02.200 --> 0:11:04.800 yelling about regression, yelling about regression, even if he regresses. 0:11:05.320 --> 0:11:06.679 I keep coming back to the same thing and I 0:11:06.720 --> 0:11:08.560 know I've mentioned him on other shows before, but I 0:11:08.559 --> 0:11:09.400 want to drive this home. 0:11:09.440 --> 0:11:10.600 At eightp of one oh nine. 0:11:11.000 --> 0:11:14.480 The projections right now, twenty two homers, eighty one run scored, 0:11:14.640 --> 0:11:17.439 seventy three rbi, fifteen steels, two fifty batting average. So 0:11:17.440 --> 0:11:20.920 you're giving me twenty fifteen. Okay, last year it was 0:11:20.920 --> 0:11:23.920 twenty eight twenty. That was absurdly good. I keep saying. 0:11:23.920 --> 0:11:25.560 If we just looked at the numbers and took away 0:11:25.600 --> 0:11:28.040 Lane Thomas, took away the fact he plays for the Nationals, 0:11:28.160 --> 0:11:30.400 we'd be talking about this guy as a third round pick. 0:11:30.640 --> 0:11:32.440 But instead we're talking about him at eightp of one 0:11:32.480 --> 0:11:34.480 oh nine. Why because he plays for the Nationals. Because 0:11:34.480 --> 0:11:37.360 people don't believe him. In twenty twenty two, again he 0:11:37.400 --> 0:11:39.520 only hit two forty, but he still had the seventeen 0:11:39.559 --> 0:11:43.000 homers and eight stone bases. You saw the jump forward 0:11:43.160 --> 0:11:46.480 this past season, and I am buying in to Lane 0:11:46.480 --> 0:11:49.240 Thomas again. It doesn't cost you a lot here for 0:11:49.320 --> 0:11:52.079 that baseline, and the projections of that baseline I think 0:11:52.080 --> 0:11:55.480 are very fair, and you already know that he's good 0:11:55.600 --> 0:11:57.560 enough to go above them because he just did it 0:11:57.640 --> 0:11:59.520 last year. So is he a perfect guy? 0:11:59.679 --> 0:11:59.719 Know? 0:12:00.400 --> 0:12:02.440 Still heading towards the top of that order. I know, 0:12:02.520 --> 0:12:05.079 the three twenty five babbit, you know, inflated the average 0:12:05.120 --> 0:12:06.240 of two sixty eight a little bit. 0:12:06.360 --> 0:12:07.160 I get that, but. 0:12:07.080 --> 0:12:09.120 At the same time, I still think this is a 0:12:09.160 --> 0:12:11.200 player with power and speed that can really help you 0:12:11.240 --> 0:12:14.400 in those rotal formats and again a value in the outfield. 0:12:14.400 --> 0:12:16.199 Before we get to the next guys on our list too, 0:12:16.360 --> 0:12:18.199 I just want to remind everybody this is that time 0:12:18.240 --> 0:12:20.480 where most of you've done your drafts already.

But 0:13:54.040 --> 0:13:56.960 the whole the reason behind that again is like they're 0:13:57.080 --> 0:14:00.160 just such good value at where they're going. One of 0:14:00.200 --> 0:14:02.600 these guys we've talked about, they haven't moved a whole 0:14:02.640 --> 0:14:04.520 bunch of value. And this is another one of those 0:14:04.720 --> 0:14:07.360 that has shown up in different episodes. The guy I'm 0:14:07.360 --> 0:14:10.680 going to give you uh has an ADP right around 0:14:10.760 --> 0:14:15.319 one thirty, and it's Josh Naylor. Josh Naylor with the Guardians, 0:14:15.320 --> 0:14:19.280 who last year put up some absurd RBI numbers in 0:14:19.320 --> 0:14:22.280 one hundred and twenty one games, ninety seven RBI, he 0:14:22.320 --> 0:14:25.560 had double digit stolen bases, seventeen homers again one hundred 0:14:25.560 --> 0:14:28.520 and twenty one games. He also hit over three hundred. 0:14:28.600 --> 0:14:31.880 This spring, he's over three hundred again. He's not striking out. 0:14:31.880 --> 0:14:34.760 He's even stolen a couple more bases. The hitting profile 0:14:34.800 --> 0:14:38.680 of Nayler is solid. Expected batting average supports his really 0:14:38.720 --> 0:14:40.560 good batting average. It was a two to ninety three 0:14:40.640 --> 0:14:43.640 last year, which was in the upper echelon of the league. 0:14:43.680 --> 0:14:45.880 Again, the barrel percentage of solid. 0:14:45.880 --> 0:14:47.240 He gets the ball in the air, he hits the 0:14:47.280 --> 0:14:49.440 ball hard, he hits in the middle of the order. 0:14:49.640 --> 0:14:52.600 Projections love him because of the high batting average, and 0:14:53.080 --> 0:14:55.560 that is something that gets away from us. So I 0:14:55.560 --> 0:14:57.920 mean two things we could pretty easily identify what gets 0:14:57.920 --> 0:15:00.240 away from us in drafts from a hitting perspective, the 0:15:00.280 --> 0:15:05.240 outfield position and batting average. And Josh Naylor he devoids that. 0:15:05.440 --> 0:15:07.880 The power potential might not be like what we've talked 0:15:07.880 --> 0:15:10.400 about with ti Oscar Hernandez, but I think the floors 0:15:10.440 --> 0:15:13.680 in the twenties, the ceiling is around thirty. He's gonna 0:15:13.680 --> 0:15:15.920 have a prime RBI spot because there's a lot of 0:15:15.920 --> 0:15:18.120 guys that run in front of him. That team does 0:15:18.120 --> 0:15:21.120 score a lot of runs, and he even sneakily steals 0:15:21.120 --> 0:15:23.160 some bases. So here's what I love about Josh Naylor. 0:15:23.440 --> 0:15:26.840 You screw up on first base. He's great. He's not 0:15:26.880 --> 0:15:29.000 a big power bat, but he's great. What he also 0:15:29.080 --> 0:15:31.560 does is he allows you to go a little bit 0:15:31.560 --> 0:15:34.160 more power later. Maybe you want to snag a Jorges 0:15:34.160 --> 0:15:36.160 Silaire and then in corner infield. You want to get 0:15:36.200 --> 0:15:37.440 a Reese Hoskins boom. 0:15:37.480 --> 0:15:37.920 But guess what. 0:15:38.000 --> 0:15:40.640 Also, let's say you go early first base, go to 0:15:40.680 --> 0:15:43.200 Pete Alonzo, who I think you should take with elite power. 0:15:43.480 --> 0:15:46.240 Little question on batting average. Guess what you can swoop 0:15:46.240 --> 0:15:49.440 in post one hundred. Get a corner infielder in Josh 0:15:49.520 --> 0:15:53.440 Naylor who supports really high batting average, good RBI numbers, 0:15:53.640 --> 0:15:56.760 sneaky stolen bases. There's at least three categories in there. 0:15:56.800 --> 0:15:59.440 Josh Naylor is a draft day bargain for show. 0:16:00.120 --> 0:16:01.880 Sick of me be talking about Josh Nayler, So I'm 0:16:01.880 --> 0:16:04.120 only going to say this. You mentioned maybe the powers 0:16:04.120 --> 0:16:06.880 behind a little bit. He slugged four eighty nine last 0:16:06.960 --> 0:16:09.040 year in one hundred and twenty one games. I know 0:16:09.080 --> 0:16:13.760 it only equivalated to seventeen homers, but I know extrapolations 0:16:13.760 --> 0:16:15.960 a little dangerous. But if you just pushed that number 0:16:16.000 --> 0:16:18.440 just a little bit, twenty two to twenty five is 0:16:18.480 --> 0:16:20.400 not out of the question here. He's didn't clean up 0:16:20.400 --> 0:16:24.040 in this lineup. As you mentioned, Jimenez, Kwan and Ramirez 0:16:24.080 --> 0:16:26.920 all ahead of him. There's gonna be plenty of RBI opportunities. 0:16:26.920 --> 0:16:29.760 There were plenty. Last year he drove in ninety plus runs. Already, 0:16:30.520 --> 0:16:31.120 I'm telling. 0:16:30.960 --> 0:16:33.440 You I am in. I'm all in, especially if you 0:16:33.480 --> 0:16:34.720 get him as your corner guy. 0:16:35.440 --> 0:16:37.400 Man, I love Naylor. He gives you a batting average 0:16:37.680 --> 0:16:39.120 more pop than you might realize. 0:16:39.200 --> 0:16:41.080 Also, I want to give you credit. You created a 0:16:41.080 --> 0:16:43.480 Welsh's in there. You said equivalated. Yeah, I think you 0:16:43.520 --> 0:16:44.440 created a new word. 0:16:44.560 --> 0:16:47.760 You quick related the equivalations my friends, my friends come here, 0:16:47.920 --> 0:16:50.080 you comfort the baseball, you stay for the equivalations. 0:16:50.120 --> 0:16:53.000 We equivolated Josh Naylor to be he meant to say equivalent. 0:16:53.160 --> 0:16:54.760 I know, No, it was a great word. It was 0:16:54.800 --> 0:16:56.760 a great word that I just wanted to be highlights. 0:16:56.880 --> 0:16:58.560 That's something I would do and it would go in 0:16:58.560 --> 0:16:59.160
