My friend is a Friday? 0:01:00.520 --> 0:01:02.760 Ready for the weekend, get some more baseball for us, 0:01:02.760 --> 0:01:04.600 because yesterday was boring, six games boring. 0:01:05.240 --> 0:01:07.479 It was boring, actually, and we were a little bit 0:01:07.600 --> 0:01:11.920 light on news. But lookie, lookie, hello rookie. We have 0:01:12.040 --> 0:01:16.039 hit the forty day marker everybody, and that forty day 0:01:16.040 --> 0:01:20.000 marker or forty five day marker means that rookies can 0:01:20.080 --> 0:01:23.039 now start coming up. We might get an influx of them. Well, 0:01:23.080 --> 0:01:26.200 we got one of them earlier yesterday. But the breaking news, 0:01:26.640 --> 0:01:28.720 like I don't even know when it was. I woke 0:01:28.800 --> 0:01:32.000 up to it. It was a couple hours ago. Is twenty 0:01:32.120 --> 0:01:37.120 twenty three first rounder Nolan Chanol is being called up 0:01:37.160 --> 0:01:40.640 to the majors by the Los Angeles Angels, which is 0:01:41.000 --> 0:01:46.440 Bonkerstown Bubba. I three weeks ago, three saturdays ago. I 0:01:46.480 --> 0:01:48.680 want to say, could have been a month. My time 0:01:48.840 --> 0:01:50.680 is all kind of screwed up, but I want to 0:01:50.720 --> 0:01:54.960 say it was three or four saturdays ago. Across the 0:01:55.000 --> 0:01:59.480 street from me in Rookie Complex Flex League, I saw 0:01:59.600 --> 0:02:01.520 and talked to Nolin chan I was actually just watching 0:02:01.520 --> 0:02:03.280 the video on my phone here a couple of minutes 0:02:03.280 --> 0:02:08.280 ago about him playing the Kansas City Royals Complex team 0:02:08.720 --> 0:02:11.440 he moved up to a ball. He went to double A. 0:02:11.600 --> 0:02:14.640 He's passing triple A. In triple A. He ended up 0:02:14.639 --> 0:02:17.560 having the most games played, had a homer, a stolen base, 0:02:17.840 --> 0:02:21.000 three point thirty nine batting average, a better walk percentage 0:02:21.000 --> 0:02:25.280 and strikeout percentage. Nolan Shanle is fascinating on so many ends. 0:02:25.360 --> 0:02:29.000 One of the better contact hitters in college baseball this 0:02:29.040 --> 0:02:31.040 past year. He was kind of presumed to be that. 0:02:31.200 --> 0:02:33.160 I was a little slow on him early, moved him 0:02:33.160 --> 0:02:36.639 back up power. It'll be questionable where that goes. He's 0:02:36.639 --> 0:02:39.920 got a very high like his arms come way up. 0:02:40.520 --> 0:02:42.640 It makes you question how he's going to be able 0:02:42.639 --> 0:02:45.400 to catch up to like high velocity pitches. But he 0:02:45.480 --> 0:02:48.800 does set well and he makes tons of contact that 0:02:48.840 --> 0:02:51.080 I think is going to kind of slap across the body. 0:02:51.720 --> 0:02:54.720 It's a unique profile, it's a unique player, and it's 0:02:54.760 --> 0:02:58.160 a unique situation, Bubba, where a twenty twenty three rookie 0:02:58.160 --> 0:03:00.720 is making it to the majors for a off run 0:03:00.720 --> 0:03:03.280 with the Angels. So is he a must pick up 0:03:03.360 --> 0:03:03.880 in your mind? 0:03:04.400 --> 0:03:04.959 It's wild. 0:03:05.160 --> 0:03:07.920 Dude was drafted eleven weeks ago, he was lived in 0:03:07.960 --> 0:03:10.919 college eleven weeks ago, and he's up in the bigs. 0:03:11.240 --> 0:03:13.160 It's tough for me because I'm looking at the Angels roster. 0:03:13.720 --> 0:03:16.360 It makes you wonder if CJ. Cron's back that messed 0:03:16.440 --> 0:03:18.359 up because he's been dealing with this issue all year, 0:03:18.680 --> 0:03:20.639 Like does Chanal come in and play first base? Is 0:03:20.680 --> 0:03:23.160 that kind of the way things go there. He's not 0:03:23.160 --> 0:03:26.000 gonna DH show. He's going to DH that's obvious. So 0:03:26.080 --> 0:03:27.720 I think he's more of a deeply play for now 0:03:27.840 --> 0:03:30.079 just because and I'll say this, I'm gonna be I'm 0:03:30.080 --> 0:03:32.600 always cautious with these ones coming up. There's a lot 0:03:32.600 --> 0:03:35.200 of playing time questions and right now you're on the stretch, Frunt, 0:03:35.200 --> 0:03:36.960 you need playing time, you need counting stats, you need 0:03:37.000 --> 0:03:40.040 guys to actually be there doing it. So Chanal, the 0:03:40.040 --> 0:03:42.520 tools are great, you're the prospect guy, I'm not. I 0:03:42.560 --> 0:03:45.280 think he's a very intriguing play. Probably deeper formats for. 0:03:45.320 --> 0:03:48.560 Me though, yeah, I think like in a standard redraft 0:03:48.600 --> 0:03:51.440 twelve team, I don't know, because it I think. 0:03:51.320 --> 0:03:53.680 The early word ringing corner infield at that it's. 0:03:53.520 --> 0:03:55.880 A super fringy because listen, I don't think he's going 0:03:55.960 --> 0:03:57.680 to be a big power option. It's not to say 0:03:57.680 --> 0:04:00.600 that he might connect into one but I just don't 0:04:00.640 --> 0:04:02.640 think that part of his game is there. And you 0:04:02.640 --> 0:04:05.080 know I was telling you off air, like my god, 0:04:05.360 --> 0:04:08.440 just make a joke about something. I had little snarkiness 0:04:08.480 --> 0:04:11.400 come in my way about joking about the Angels developmental system. 0:04:11.440 --> 0:04:14.320 But guess what, it stinks and it hasn't been good, 0:04:14.800 --> 0:04:17.400 and it I mean from years and years ago, the 0:04:17.520 --> 0:04:21.440 complex level stuff. I'm Eric Longahey for Fangrafts was just like, hey, listen, 0:04:21.520 --> 0:04:23.560 you can't even pay attention to what the Angels do. 0:04:23.880 --> 0:04:25.839 So I don't think it's ridiculous to say that the 0:04:25.880 --> 0:04:31.200 Angel's developmental stuff in the minor leagues isn't great. So 0:04:31.200 --> 0:04:33.479 it's unasurprise that they would draft players that are doing this. 0:04:33.600 --> 0:04:37.200 But like, I don't think there has been time clearly 0:04:37.720 --> 0:04:40.479 for him to like work through stuff that you would 0:04:40.560 --> 0:04:44.039 work through. That's okay, by the way, But if you 0:04:44.080 --> 0:04:46.200 want to take apples to apples of who he is, 0:04:46.520 --> 0:04:49.440 I don't think he's a big I don't think he's 0:04:49.440 --> 0:04:50.760 a big power hitter. I think he's gonna be a 0:04:50.760 --> 0:04:53.600 contact guy, doesn't really run, going to hit lower in 0:04:53.640 --> 0:04:56.160 the lineup. Like I said, when you see him, if 0:04:56.200 --> 0:04:58.920 no one has seen him he's got a very it's 0:04:58.960 --> 0:05:01.200 it's not council, his council like bring it back, but 0:05:01.240 --> 0:05:05.279 it is hands up, a very open stance and it 0:05:05.400 --> 0:05:08.279 all has to come together pretty good batspeed and he 0:05:08.320 --> 0:05:10.920 makes great contact, but it's not a very lofty type 0:05:10.920 --> 0:05:13.400 of swing. So if he's on something, sure he can 0:05:13.440 --> 0:05:15.120 absolutely pull it. I just think this is going to 0:05:15.160 --> 0:05:17.360 be a singles doubles guy. And where does that help 0:05:17.360 --> 0:05:22.240 in fantasy? Especially for platooning with CJ. Krohn Dynasty love him. 0:05:22.360 --> 0:05:25.000 I'm all in, Hey, there's a great guy to bet on. 0:05:25.120 --> 0:05:29.200 First year player. Maybe this will be a fantastic move, 0:05:29.600 --> 0:05:33.159 you know, going to the majors and getting major league 0:05:33.200 --> 0:05:36.839 conditioning and development there because of whatever might be lacking 0:05:36.960 --> 0:05:38.880 at other levels. Maybe this will be the thing that 0:05:39.000 --> 0:05:41.279 unlocks the next step. But it hasn't been a great 0:05:41.279 --> 0:05:43.800 track record. But I know that it is kind of 0:05:43.839 --> 0:05:46.440 indifferent about now. But for fantasy purposes, unless you have 0:05:46.480 --> 0:05:50.839 some keeper element to it, I'm probably not trying to 0:05:50.839 --> 0:05:52.480 tell you guys to go jump to the wire. 0:05:52.720 --> 0:05:54.920 I'd rather have his teammate Mustakas. Let's put it that way. 0:05:56.680 --> 0:05:59.760 Really, go look at his numbers, don't you're looking at 0:05:59.760 --> 0:06:00.760 the name, not the numbers. 0:06:00.800 --> 0:06:01.800 He's been pretty darn good. 0:06:02.160 --> 0:06:04.839 Yeah, I guess. So now the prospect that I am 0:06:04.880 --> 0:06:08.159 interested in as we rookie rookie hello or lookie, lookie 0:06:08.160 --> 0:06:12.120 hello rookies is Mason Win. Mason Win is reportedly going 0:06:12.120 --> 0:06:15.440 to be getting the call today finally, because again we've 0:06:15.480 --> 0:06:18.920 reached that marker where these guys cannot have forty five 0:06:18.960 --> 0:06:22.360 games in which presumably they can't hit one hundred and 0:06:22.360 --> 0:06:26.120 thirty marker not going to have like the eligibility issues 0:06:26.160 --> 0:06:28.520 of being on the roster too long. And this is 0:06:28.560 --> 0:06:30.760 like the positive, so they could keep these guys as 0:06:30.839 --> 0:06:33.240 rookies next year. That's another advantage to the Angels. By 0:06:33.279 --> 0:06:36.839 the way, hat tip to them. Nolan Chanl goes plays, 0:06:37.520 --> 0:06:40.280 gets tutelage, does whatever he does this year, plays all 0:06:40.320 --> 0:06:45.120 next year, first baseman. That's right, he's the guy, and 0:06:45.160 --> 0:06:47.440 they're going to put themselves in position to get an 0:06:47.480 --> 0:06:49.800 extra pick the following year. This is what that team 0:06:49.800 --> 0:06:52.640 should actually, I guess is a true Galaxy move. 0:06:52.720 --> 0:06:54.000 You let the kid play with show Hey for a 0:06:54.040 --> 0:06:55.640 couple months because he won't be able to do next year. 0:06:55.680 --> 0:06:58.320 So it's a smart move. Get a little Carrot. 0:06:58.279 --> 0:07:01.120 Well, because I was being starky on about that and 0:07:01.160 --> 0:07:03.279 I was like, hey, Galaxy brain, when you have a 0:07:03.279 --> 0:07:06.080 bad developmental system, just don't develop them and bring them up. 0:07:06.240 --> 0:07:09.440 But like, this is good because you can get the 0:07:09.520 --> 0:07:11.080 big stuff out of the way, because this is a 0:07:11.120 --> 0:07:14.640 more mature hitter. And you know, I think everything and 0:07:14.760 --> 0:07:17.240 how they approach him, this is a guy that produces. 0:07:17.320 --> 0:07:21.880 Now underlying UH metrics and everything speak to him being 0:07:21.960 --> 0:07:24.880 a player that is major league ish ready. But then 0:07:24.920 --> 0:07:27.640 you're acquiring another pick if he does put himself into 0:07:27.680 --> 0:07:31.000 that into that, you know, first getting Rookie of the 0:07:31.080 --> 0:07:33.160 Year stuff like that's huge. I think that is huge 0:07:33.160 --> 0:07:35.520 for him. But Mason Wynn is the one I'm more 0:07:35.560 --> 0:07:38.960 excited about from a fantasy perspective this year. Don't know 0:07:38.960 --> 0:07:41.520 if I would call it like must pick up, but 0:07:41.640 --> 0:07:45.960 eighteen homer, seventeen stolen bases, sub seventeen percent k rate 0:07:46.000 --> 0:07:49.520 this year in TRIPAA hitting two eighty eight. He's defensively 0:07:49.680 --> 0:07:52.520 a monster. Can throw a hundred, He's not going to 0:07:52.560 --> 0:07:54.320 come off. That's a great thing. Like this is a 0:07:54.360 --> 0:07:56.800 player that defensively is going to push for playing time. 0:07:57.080 --> 0:07:59.720 He's got a good power speed, Combo made some solid 0:07:59.800 --> 0:08:02.160 change this year to make sure we're tapping back into 0:08:02.200 --> 0:08:04.480 consistent contact. He hit two fifty eight at double A 0:08:04.600 --> 0:08:07.680 last year. He ended up going to the AFL, which 0:08:07.720 --> 0:08:10.600 was okay. He has been great this year. And this 0:08:10.640 --> 0:08:12.760 is a guy that I think could have some sneaky stats. 0:08:12.760 --> 0:08:14.920 So he is somebody that I am more interested in. 0:08:15.520 --> 0:08:16.600 Yeah, I'm with you on this one. 0:08:16.640 --> 0:08:19.520 Definitely more intriguing power speed combo of the average you mentioned. 0:08:19.880 --> 0:08:21.520 I think the defense is a great point that people 0:08:21.520 --> 0:08:23.800 don't talk about because you look at these guys and 0:08:23.880 --> 0:08:26.200 getting called up and you wonder, Okay, he's obviously gonna 0:08:26.200 --> 0:08:29.480 play with modern that's simple. But like, how long is 0:08:29.520 --> 0:08:31.560 Gorman out for with the back injury? It seems pretty bad. 0:08:31.680 --> 0:08:33.360 Had to have a shot. That's going to be interesting. 0:08:34.160 --> 0:08:36.319 Do they move ed into the outfield because there's moving 0:08:36.360 --> 0:08:38.520 parts in Saint Louis, So if they can find every 0:08:38.600 --> 0:08:40.240 day playing time for win, which I think they want 0:08:40.280 --> 0:08:42.880 to And this was this was one hundred percent, oh 0:08:42.920 --> 0:08:45.760 forty five days. Yeah, make the phone call, like because 0:08:45.760 --> 0:08:47.600 he should have been up so long ago. There was 0:08:47.640 --> 0:08:51.560 no reason. It was the Cardinals going nowhere. It's perfect timing. Obviously, 0:08:51.800 --> 0:08:53.440 So I'm with you on this one. This one they 0:08:53.520 --> 0:08:55.880 wanted him up, so he's expected to play every day, 0:08:56.040 --> 0:08:58.840 whereas you know, Shannal and some others might be more like, hey, 0:08:58.880 --> 0:09:00.760 let's get your feet wet, kidlet's see what you got. 0:09:00.880 --> 0:09:02.240 When is going to play every day? They have no 0:09:02.280 --> 0:09:02.800 reason not to. 0:09:03.200 --> 0:09:05.000 Yeah, and they got a lot of crap for the 0:09:05.200 --> 0:09:07.679 Jordan Walker stuff. You know, they sent him down and 0:09:07.720 --> 0:09:11.280 that was like clearly a piece of controllability. I think 0:09:11.280 --> 0:09:13.280 it was in like Super two. I'm forgetting what it was. 0:09:13.360 --> 0:09:17.800 But like, as I've said all year long, September is 0:09:17.920 --> 0:09:22.480 the new roster manipulation for opening day roster stuff with prospects. 0:09:22.559 --> 0:09:24.520 You know, it used to be, oh, this guy needs 0:09:24.559 --> 0:09:26.560 a little bit more seasoning before he comes up to 0:09:26.600 --> 0:09:29.160 the majors, blah blah blah. The new manipulation is waiting 0:09:29.400 --> 0:09:33.000 just until it really is between like mid July and 0:09:33.040 --> 0:09:35.880 the beginning of September the end of August here where 0:09:35.920 --> 0:09:37.760 you can just have a guy come up enough where 0:09:37.760 --> 0:09:40.880 you can control his ability to be a rookie next year. 0:09:41.120 --> 0:09:43.520 And yeah, Mason Winn has deserved it. Nolan Gorman on 0:09:43.559 --> 0:09:46.120 the IL has kind of stung for them. They do 0:09:46.200 --> 0:09:48.440 have flexibility in general, but like, this is the guy. 0:09:48.520 --> 0:09:51.120 This is the guy that's a shortstop. He's defensively probably 0:09:51.160 --> 0:09:53.120 the best one of all of them right now anyways, 0:09:53.480 --> 0:09:55.920 So he's going to be a great look. I would 0:09:55.920 --> 0:09:57.800 definitely look at picking him up. Like I said, there's 0:09:57.840 --> 0:09:59.960 a stolen base factor. He's still twenty eight last year, 0:10:00.640 --> 0:10:03.720 ticked down this year only seventeen, but he scored a 0:10:03.800 --> 0:10:06.600 ton of runs. He's hitting for more power. This is 0:10:06.640 --> 0:10:09.680 a guy that I dig. A couple other news and notes, 0:10:09.679 --> 0:10:13.400 but reminder I have I'm pinging some of the questions. 0:10:13.440 --> 0:10:14.959 We're gonna answer a few of the questions here in 0:10:15.000 --> 0:10:17.480 a little bit, and I will also give you the 0:10:17.679 --> 0:10:20.600 hint today for where in the world Welsh and Corb 0:10:20.679 --> 0:10:24.280 and Carol are, which really should be the batting cages. 0:10:24.360 --> 0:10:25.840 And so I think we had a nice, good we 0:10:25.880 --> 0:10:29.120 had a good, funny snark comment here which was where 0:10:29.160 --> 0:10:31.960 are Welsh and Carol? I believe it was Le We'll 0:10:31.960 --> 0:10:33.960 see if oh yeah, right here it was Lee. Where 0:10:34.000 --> 0:10:35.640 are they there? Third place in the West? 0:10:36.080 --> 0:10:38.840 And that is true. That's good, that's good. 0:10:39.160 --> 0:10:42.240 It hurts so good, it hurts so good. My friend. 0:10:42.280 --> 0:10:44.960 Other notes, as far as our headlines go, Holi Rodriguez 0:10:45.360 --> 0:10:48.920 career high five hits including go ahead, three run homer, 0:10:49.559 --> 0:10:54.200 five RBI. I believe this is his second consecutive four 0:10:54.320 --> 0:10:58.400 hit performance. Plus you actually made the statement the other 0:10:58.480 --> 0:11:00.920 day when I was pushing the Bobby Witt stuff. You said, 0:11:01.040 --> 0:11:03.920 what about Julio? Could Julio jump back into it? I 0:11:04.040 --> 0:11:07.320 kind of dismissed it in a like, Listen, I think 0:11:07.360 --> 0:11:11.440 Bobby is in this spot. But if Julio's gonna Julio 0:11:11.559 --> 0:11:14.360 out like this the rest of the season, at least, 0:11:14.360 --> 0:11:17.480 what he's gonna do is he makes that whoever's not 0:11:17.679 --> 0:11:20.959 top two conversation a lot more interesting, like Corbyn Carroll 0:11:21.120 --> 0:11:23.439 is pushing himself out of it. If you're gonna hit 0:11:23.880 --> 0:11:26.600 two thirty the rest of the season and you're gonna 0:11:26.600 --> 0:11:29.000 dip down under two sixty or something, that's not gonna 0:11:29.000 --> 0:11:31.560 work well. If he hits well and Julio hits well, 0:11:31.960 --> 0:11:35.360 now I think you're looking at that three four five pick. 0:11:35.720 --> 0:11:37.480 Maybe even having the fifth pick next year is gonna 0:11:37.480 --> 0:11:39.480 be awesome because you will have the choice of Julio, 0:11:39.920 --> 0:11:44.199 Corbin Carroll, Bobby Witt, Junior, Fernando Tatis junior, however you 0:11:44.280 --> 0:11:47.480 want to go. But we are now twenty thirty for 0:11:47.679 --> 0:11:51.360 Julio Rodriguez, first time having thirty stolen bases. He is 0:11:51.400 --> 0:11:53.640 a monster. So any thought you want to throw to 0:11:53.720 --> 0:11:55.400 the bounce back of Julio. 0:11:55.520 --> 0:11:56.080 Just real quick. 0:11:56.160 --> 0:11:58.440 I tweeted it out yesterday, I said, Julio's making everyone 0:11:58.480 --> 0:12:01.160 forget about the slump some time for twenty twenty four 0:12:01.240 --> 0:12:01.959 draft prepped like. 0:12:01.920 --> 0:12:02.960 He's completely forgotten. 0:12:03.080 --> 0:12:05.760 And since August first, dude's got twenty one RBIs and 0:12:05.800 --> 0:12:09.000 six stolen bases. Twenty one RBIs. That's insane what he's 0:12:09.040 --> 0:12:09.600 doing right now. 0:12:09.800 --> 0:12:11.920 Yeah, it's absurd. So it's good to see. This is 0:12:11.960 --> 0:12:16.720 a huge, huge thing for value planting for next season, 0:12:16.840 --> 0:12:20.280 and you know, just for like us trying to understand, like, well, 0:12:20.320 --> 0:12:22.000 what is going to be the you know, the true 0:12:22.040 --> 0:12:25.000 maturation of this guy. Was it a complete fall apart? 0:12:25.080 --> 0:12:28.480 It's not. It was a really I don't call it 0:12:28.559 --> 0:12:31.079 really rough, but it was like, oh rough first half 0:12:31.120 --> 0:12:34.320 of the year, two thirty nine in April, two fifty two, 0:12:34.480 --> 0:12:37.320 in May, two twenty, in June, but then July hits 0:12:37.360 --> 0:12:40.960 two ninety two, August he's hitting three seventy seven, he's 0:12:41.000 --> 0:12:44.120 back at it. He's stealing bases and he's actually, this 0:12:44.160 --> 0:12:46.240 is a fun fact. He has stolen six or more 0:12:46.280 --> 0:12:49.319 bases every month but one so far. So I mean 0:12:49.679 --> 0:12:53.320 that is just enabling extra good value and that's why 0:12:53.360 --> 0:12:57.320 Julio is Huli when he does that thing. My friends. Also, 0:12:57.520 --> 0:13:00.800 Tristan Cassis hit his twentieth home rund of this He 0:13:02.200 --> 0:13:05.160 since the All Star Break is hitting three point thirty 0:13:05.320 --> 0:13:09.600 seven with a three four seven slash, eleven homers, twenty 0:13:09.640 --> 0:13:14.240 one RBI in thirty games, and Tristan Coassas is pushing himself. 0:13:14.240 --> 0:13:15.760 I just want to say Bubba as a top one 0:13:15.840 --> 0:13:17.560 hundred player for next year. He is going to be 0:13:17.640 --> 0:13:20.400 I think maybe it's going to even be further. But 0:13:20.559 --> 0:13:25.280 he's pushing himself into probably everybody's favorite buzzy sleeper first 0:13:25.280 --> 0:13:27.200 baseman for next year to take that next step. So 0:13:27.240 --> 0:13:28.720 how high do you think he's going to look for 0:13:28.760 --> 0:13:29.160 next year? 0:13:29.880 --> 0:13:32.559 Definitely top one hundred is going to be in the discussion. 0:13:34.080 --> 0:13:37.840 Probably seventh first basement, six or seventh first basement because 0:13:37.840 --> 0:13:39.640 it's it's a weird position where it kind of drops 0:13:39.679 --> 0:13:41.760 off after the big boys early, like even this last year, 0:13:41.760 --> 0:13:44.199 we saw a big gap in the ADP. I'd say 0:13:44.200 --> 0:13:46.920 he's in that probably seventy five as range overall, and 0:13:47.040 --> 0:13:48.600 I think there's a good there's a good argument for that. 0:13:48.720 --> 0:13:51.080 Dude's got three homers this month in the last week, 0:13:51.320 --> 0:13:52.800 the last two against but against lefties. 0:13:52.840 --> 0:13:54.160 Say, can't use that argument anymore. 0:13:54.200 --> 0:13:57.520 Like, I gotta go on for you next year. Cassis 0:13:57.720 --> 0:13:59.760 or Pasquentino, that's. 0:13:59.679 --> 0:14:00.720 A great comp I go Cass. 0:14:00.960 --> 0:14:03.520 I've always I've always been skeptical of Pascalino and it's 0:14:03.559 --> 0:14:04.680 nothing personal orything. 0:14:04.679 --> 0:14:06.360 It's just I have yet to see it. 0:14:06.400 --> 0:14:09.120 Basically, Kassas or Christian Walker. 0:14:09.480 --> 0:14:12.079 That's a great one. That's a great one because Walker's 0:14:12.080 --> 0:14:14.880 doing it again now. I'd probably still go Walker just 0:14:14.880 --> 0:14:17.840 because he's shown the almost forty home run potential. 0:14:18.200 --> 0:14:20.760 Yeah, I mean Costas is moving into like. 0:14:20.720 --> 0:14:23.400 A complete that's a great comp Like even like you 0:14:23.400 --> 0:14:24.960 can ask that question this time next year and it 0:14:25.040 --> 0:14:25.800 might even be closer. 0:14:26.080 --> 0:14:27.680 There's gonna be something we talk a lot about in 0:14:27.720 --> 0:14:31.080 the off season. But you know, he is league winny 0:14:31.320 --> 0:14:33.800 ish through the rest of this year, very very trustable. 0:14:33.840 --> 0:14:35.520 Start them all over the guys. The other big one, 0:14:35.680 --> 0:14:39.200 Lance Lynn held the Brewers scoreless for seven innings and 0:14:39.200 --> 0:14:43.000 a no decision on Thursday Bubba one four to four ERA. 0:14:43.520 --> 0:14:47.480 Since joining the Dodgers, Lance Lynn went from cuttable asset 0:14:47.840 --> 0:14:50.880 to someone you've got to start every single time. He's 0:14:50.880 --> 0:14:52.000 out with the Dodgers right now. 0:14:52.520 --> 0:14:53.680 Yep, love him or hate m my guy. 0:14:53.680 --> 0:14:56.000 I neither Dodgers know how to utilize pitching outside of 0:14:56.040 --> 0:14:59.880 a couple exceptions, and Land's getting the job done pitch exchange, 0:15:00.400 --> 0:15:02.960 He's gonna be. The matchups have been friendly, I'll say 0:15:03.000 --> 0:15:04.720 that much, but he's still been very good. 0:15:04.960 --> 0:15:07.800 That's right, all right. So here is your hint I'm 0:15:07.800 --> 0:15:09.840 going to give you for a little bit later. This 0:15:09.920 --> 0:15:12.240 is the hint for where in the world are Welsh 0:15:12.280 --> 0:15:14.560 and Corby and Carroll? And remember we're going to be 0:15:14.600 --> 0:15:17.360 tracking and pick one person an autograph Corby and Carroll 0:15:18.200 --> 0:15:21.080 card two if you can guess where we are from 0:15:21.120 --> 0:15:24.800 the fun photoshopped of me and my bestie, which really 0:15:24.840 --> 0:15:27.840 is making me feel like I am cursed that I 0:15:27.840 --> 0:15:30.960 am cursing him with this. So maybe maybe it'll only 0:15:31.000 --> 0:15:33.280 be at Chase Field every single game. It'll be at 0:15:33.320 --> 0:15:35.960 the plate or a drive line or something. But the 0:15:36.080 --> 0:15:42.280 hint today is Gustaf. It is Gustav that is the 0:15:42.360 --> 0:15:46.880 hint and making it a much more difficult hint. Gustav 0:15:47.360 --> 0:15:50.920 is the hint today for where Corbin and I are 0:15:51.400 --> 0:15:55.640 listener questions, Uh, listener questions in the chat thrown out. 0:15:55.680 --> 0:15:57.360 You guys can keep doing them. We're going to do 0:15:57.400 --> 0:15:59.920 one more round of them right now. Are you holding 0:16:00.160 --> 0:16:02.680 this is from whips? Are you holding Hazu's Lozardo bubba 0:16:03.280 --> 0:16:04.000 rest of season? 0:16:04.360 --> 0:16:07.280 It's only the deepest to formats like it's hard to 0:16:07.320 --> 0:16:08.040 drop him, but you're not. 0:16:08.120 --> 0:16:09.640 He's not an auto start. Let's say that much. 0:16:09.960 --> 0:16:12.320 He's not an auto start. Last five have been rough. 0:16:13.120 --> 0:16:15.960 Ronak also as should I drop Yuri for Lozardo in 0:16:16.000 --> 0:16:19.840 a points league right now? My only problem with Yuri 0:16:20.040 --> 0:16:24.080 is the capted innings. I don't like that. But Lozardo 0:16:24.120 --> 0:16:25.360 has been really poop. 0:16:26.360 --> 0:16:28.960 Like there's got to be a trade off between innings 0:16:28.960 --> 0:16:29.880 and getting lit up. 0:16:30.320 --> 0:16:31.760 It's just like if you're in a points and he 0:16:31.800 --> 0:16:34.440 only goes four, like that win can be the differentiation 0:16:34.520 --> 0:16:36.440 between anything, but Lozard is not getting any of that. 0:16:36.720 --> 0:16:38.240 I guess it would go Yuri right now. It's just 0:16:38.280 --> 0:16:40.440 a it's a rough patch. You should have a short 0:16:40.480 --> 0:16:43.280 mindset with these guys. You know, someone made the joke 0:16:43.640 --> 0:16:45.240 just the other day you weren't here for a Bubba, 0:16:45.280 --> 0:16:48.640 but like every like fourth show, Joe would come on 0:16:48.680 --> 0:16:51.160 and he'd be like, he's just Lozardo elite now, and 0:16:51.160 --> 0:16:53.520 I'm like, no, he's not. He's just like really good. 0:16:53.560 --> 0:16:58.040 And someone was like, where's Joe for Lozardo? Is he's getting? Yeah, 0:16:58.080 --> 0:17:02.000 so it hasn't been good, all right, Royce or torkosen 0:17:02.080 --> 0:17:02.840 rest of season? 0:17:03.120 --> 0:17:06.560 I still go Royce. I think is the very talented guy. 0:17:06.600 --> 0:17:09.000 I'm a huge torqu fan. I'm loving the development we're seeing. 0:17:09.040 --> 0:17:11.040 He could be a fun conversation for next season, like 0:17:11.119 --> 0:17:13.720 later on first Baseman. But give me Royce going forward. 0:17:13.880 --> 0:17:17.760 All right, I'm gonna guess. I'm gonna go with and 0:17:17.920 --> 0:17:19.920 guess I was thinking of the I was looking at 0:17:19.920 --> 0:17:22.720 the thing for the the Corbin and Welsh thing. I'm 0:17:22.760 --> 0:17:25.439 gonna go with Tork. We're gonna talk about Torq here 0:17:25.440 --> 0:17:27.040 in just a little bit. I'm very much in on him. 0:17:27.080 --> 0:17:29.639 Ce s or Galloff. We're both gonna say gal. 0:17:29.520 --> 0:17:32.800 Off, Yeah, yeah. 0:17:31.760 --> 0:17:36.000 Yeah, yeah, how about this? Sabo says Bubba Peterson Canfordo 0:17:36.080 --> 0:17:38.280 Hanneger for late season power surge, you. 0:17:38.200 --> 0:17:41.840 Take a new team by chance. I would say Peterson 0:17:41.880 --> 0:17:43.240 is because he's got the most power in the group. 0:17:43.280 --> 0:17:44.960 I don't trust any of them. 0:17:45.480 --> 0:17:46.200 One, said Peter. 0:17:46.280 --> 0:17:46.879 I said Peterson. 0:17:46.880 --> 0:17:48.600 If I have to, yeah, I guess I would probably 0:17:48.600 --> 0:17:51.359 go with the same thing. Let's see how high does 0:17:51.440 --> 0:17:53.880 Riley Green go in drafts next year. I think it's 0:17:53.920 --> 0:17:55.880 he's making the case seventy five. 0:17:56.240 --> 0:17:56.880 Yeah, that's fair. 0:17:57.040 --> 0:17:58.879 He's showing, he's showing it he's healthy and what he 0:17:58.920 --> 0:17:59.960 can do and healthy. Yeah. 0:18:00.160 --> 0:18:08.040 Top. Yeah, I haven't even worked on my life. 0:18:08.040 --> 0:18:09.840 That's why it's tough, like gauge where it's at. 0:18:09.920 --> 0:18:12.200 But yeah, it'll happen. It'll happen in the off season 0:18:12.240 --> 0:18:14.119 between October and November. I'll be working on my next 0:18:14.160 --> 0:18:15.359 season ranks, maybe even earlier. 0:18:15.440 --> 0:18:16.720 But we do black book work. 0:18:17.200 --> 0:18:19.680 Yeah, two other questions. I'm gonna say that's right black 0:18:19.680 --> 0:18:25.520 book work because they are more Torqualsen related. And I 0:18:25.560 --> 0:18:27.600 want to talk about him here in just a little bit, 0:18:28.000 --> 0:18:29.919 So let's get back to the sheet here. If you 0:18:29.920 --> 0:18:32.680 have any more questions, I'm going to try to pick 0:18:32.760 --> 0:18:35.679
