Last night we're gonna talk 0:00:45.640 --> 0:00:49.080 about some refresh of the top ten prospects and baseball. 0:00:49.240 --> 0:00:52.360 I want to get mister prospect himself, mister prospect one's 0:00:52.440 --> 0:00:56.000 opinions on that. We've got betting, We've got dfs, We've 0:00:56.040 --> 0:00:56.720 got everything. 0:00:56.800 --> 0:01:00.520 Welsh, how the hell are you? My friend? And good? 0:01:00.680 --> 0:01:03.200 Pretty good? This little scorpion that's right up here, I'm 0:01:03.200 --> 0:01:05.720 almost the same color. I did not realize I was 0:01:06.560 --> 0:01:10.640 out celebrating multiple birthdays, going head to head with snakes 0:01:10.680 --> 0:01:13.039 and uh, just a foot away from the sun. But 0:01:13.120 --> 0:01:15.680 otherwise I'm good stuff foot away from the sun. 0:01:15.760 --> 0:01:18.400 Yes, it's a you know, and you know, I keep 0:01:18.440 --> 0:01:20.920 reminding everybody you don't have to live in these places 0:01:20.959 --> 0:01:23.840 where there's you know, one hundred and twenty degree weather, 0:01:24.360 --> 0:01:28.399 where there's no water, where there's scorpions and things like this. 0:01:28.640 --> 0:01:30.120 It's the same goes for the people who live in 0:01:30.120 --> 0:01:32.959 these places where its snows for I don't know, six 0:01:33.000 --> 0:01:34.440 months and they can't get out of their house. 0:01:34.760 --> 0:01:36.800 You don't have to live like this, folks. You can 0:01:36.800 --> 0:01:37.319 move around. 0:01:37.360 --> 0:01:40.119 It's a lot easier. To your point, though, you would 0:01:40.160 --> 0:01:43.480 start centralizing everybody to like three or four states. You're like, 0:01:43.520 --> 0:01:44.720 you don't have to live in the really hot, you 0:01:44.760 --> 0:01:46.560 don't have to live in the really cold. There's not 0:01:46.640 --> 0:01:49.000 many more states that don't kind of encompass that, Like 0:01:49.240 --> 0:01:52.160 buy Montana by east coast. You're gonna put people in 0:01:52.160 --> 0:01:54.640 like California. I don't even know where else you would 0:01:54.800 --> 0:01:55.040 like what. 0:01:55.080 --> 0:01:56.880 I feel like all these plates, well a lot about 0:01:56.880 --> 0:01:59.920 like Oklahoma, Nebraska, all those states that I can't identify 0:02:00.040 --> 0:02:01.600 in a map because they all look the same to me. 0:02:01.880 --> 0:02:04.200 Does it feels like ten people live there? I'm sure 0:02:04.200 --> 0:02:06.360 that we can. We can put a Starbucks there and 0:02:06.440 --> 0:02:09.160 people will move. We'll get some like that South Park 0:02:09.919 --> 0:02:13.680 with some Laqua Lacroix or whatever the hell that's that 0:02:13.800 --> 0:02:14.480 selter is. 0:02:15.040 --> 0:02:17.400 I like that you assume there's no Starbucks in Oklahoma 0:02:17.520 --> 0:02:19.440 right now? That actually is my favorite thing of the day. 0:02:19.480 --> 0:02:22.119 They're like, well, modernize that old state there, that old 0:02:22.120 --> 0:02:23.520 Oklahoma will get them. 0:02:23.840 --> 0:02:26.160 Oh, yes, I see my cousin Donnie. Of course, our 0:02:26.200 --> 0:02:28.400 cousin Donnie the show's cousin is in the chat today, 0:02:28.440 --> 0:02:30.400 which is very nice. Yes, I'm wearing a fancy shirt 0:02:30.400 --> 0:02:33.560 at TV this morning, so there you go. By the way, 0:02:33.560 --> 0:02:35.280 this is this is before we get to baseball. 0:02:35.440 --> 0:02:36.200 One last thing. 0:02:37.280 --> 0:02:39.560 I had a manscape shirt for my cousin. His kids 0:02:39.600 --> 0:02:42.359 were here visiting my kids over the July fourth weekend. 0:02:42.440 --> 0:02:44.880 They were here from Arizona. I gave them one job, 0:02:44.919 --> 0:02:47.440 take this shirt back to your father. They left my house. 0:02:47.480 --> 0:02:48.919 They didn't take it, so now I got to mail 0:02:48.960 --> 0:02:51.880 it to him. It's just kids are the worst. They 0:02:51.919 --> 0:02:54.280 just don't follow through with anything. By the way, we 0:02:54.440 --> 0:02:58.840 also have a winner from the photoshop contest and it's 0:02:58.960 --> 0:03:00.960 it's one of the Peanuts and racker Jack's Elite. 0:03:01.040 --> 0:03:03.160 We'll get to that a little later. Let's get I'm. 0:03:03.040 --> 0:03:05.440 Glad you did not do this without me yesterday. We 0:03:05.480 --> 0:03:07.480 had a little confusion about it. Who was gonna be 0:03:07.520 --> 0:03:09.640 there yesterday, And I'm very glad that it wasn't done 0:03:09.639 --> 0:03:12.200 without me because this was one of my favorite contests. 0:03:12.200 --> 0:03:15.960 This is your brain child, A couple's let's do it. 0:03:16.080 --> 0:03:18.959 Let's let's get to that person there in a bit. 0:03:19.080 --> 0:03:22.280 But first, Max Sures are striking out eleven. It was 0:03:22.320 --> 0:03:26.720 a season high eleven strikeouts, six shutout innings. 0:03:26.360 --> 0:03:27.560 For Max Scherzer. 0:03:27.720 --> 0:03:29.920 I wish the Mets had had some offense, but alas 0:03:30.000 --> 0:03:32.800 that was not to be. But Schures are looking good. 0:03:32.880 --> 0:03:35.240 I think this is very important Welsh, because you know, 0:03:35.280 --> 0:03:38.160 from a fantasy standpoint, from an investment standpoint, wagering all 0:03:38.240 --> 0:03:38.640 those things. 0:03:38.720 --> 0:03:40.960 In real life baseball, waiting and. 0:03:40.920 --> 0:03:43.880 Not pushing Max schuers are with this injury seems like 0:03:43.920 --> 0:03:46.360 the right call because the Max Schuerser you got was 0:03:46.360 --> 0:03:48.840 the one you wanted. We joked before the season, right, 0:03:48.960 --> 0:03:51.640 kind of half joking but really serious. We're gonna get 0:03:51.640 --> 0:03:54.000 fifty stars between these two guys. I don't think we're 0:03:54.000 --> 0:03:56.760 gonna hit that mark. We might, who knows, but uh, 0:03:57.160 --> 0:03:59.160 This is the Sureser you need for the stretch run, 0:03:59.240 --> 0:04:01.440 for your fantasy lead, and certainly the Mets need him 0:04:01.440 --> 0:04:01.760 as well. 0:04:02.360 --> 0:04:04.040 Yeah, and you know that when you were saying that, 0:04:04.080 --> 0:04:06.280 I was wondering to myself, when's the last time we 0:04:06.440 --> 0:04:09.720 didn't get that Max suers Er, when's the last? Not 0:04:10.000 --> 0:04:12.280 Max sures or Max Schuerser. He is. He is the 0:04:12.320 --> 0:04:14.920 epitome of consistency when he's out there. He ended up 0:04:14.960 --> 0:04:18.040 getting fifteen swing and misses. Nick Lodolo had a great 0:04:18.040 --> 0:04:20.680 performance as well, but Suzer went in had the top 0:04:20.760 --> 0:04:23.960 velo in the game fifteen swing and misses, which were 0:04:24.680 --> 0:04:27.080 tied for the most. Obviously him and Lodolo did that, 0:04:27.760 --> 0:04:30.240 and it was just like right back at it. You know, 0:04:30.279 --> 0:04:34.200 the fastball was getting h got nineteen actual full swings 0:04:34.240 --> 0:04:38.120 through five whiffs on it. In general, the Villo was up. 0:04:38.120 --> 0:04:40.960 I mean, he looked fantastic. He is the epitome of consistency. 0:04:40.960 --> 0:04:43.600 And what makes him difficult, I think for a lot 0:04:43.600 --> 0:04:46.159 of people is these guys that are injured you kind 0:04:46.160 --> 0:04:49.000 of have to rectify. He was like right at the top, 0:04:49.120 --> 0:04:50.440 like this is a guy that's been out for a 0:04:50.480 --> 0:04:51.920 while and he goes back at the top. I've had 0:04:51.920 --> 0:04:54.000 the same question with de Grom, What do you start 0:04:54.040 --> 0:04:55.560 doing with de Grom? You know, for my rest of 0:04:55.600 --> 0:04:58.360 season ranks, I'm putting him really far back up there. 0:04:58.720 --> 0:05:01.800 There's a consideration you can have, basically have for the 0:05:01.839 --> 0:05:04.320 injury prone nous that he's going to carry. But once 0:05:04.320 --> 0:05:05.839 he gets back out, you know, I know we're gonna 0:05:05.839 --> 0:05:07.440 talk about him. We already saw him out in a 0:05:07.440 --> 0:05:11.000 minor league performance. Where do you go, like, can you not, Joe, 0:05:11.040 --> 0:05:13.559 can you not put Max schers or in your top 0:05:13.600 --> 0:05:16.839 five SPS rest of season after him coming back healthy 0:05:17.200 --> 0:05:19.120 and showing no, Well, let's let's. 0:05:18.920 --> 0:05:22.440 Do it right here. Al contra, Yep, he's got to 0:05:22.440 --> 0:05:23.120 be in the top five. 0:05:23.279 --> 0:05:24.320 McClanahan, number one. 0:05:24.400 --> 0:05:25.039 McClanahan. 0:05:26.400 --> 0:05:29.200 I mean, Verlander's got to be in that conversation. Cole's 0:05:29.200 --> 0:05:31.039 got to be in their station. So that's four and 0:05:31.720 --> 0:05:35.120 you Musk Grove Corbyn Burns like those guys. I mean, 0:05:36.160 --> 0:05:38.359 Max is in the top ten. But because of his age, 0:05:38.400 --> 0:05:40.840 and I know Verlander's you know, four hundred years old too, 0:05:40.839 --> 0:05:43.200 but because of his age, I think you have to 0:05:43.360 --> 0:05:45.880 at least, you know, bump him out of that top five. 0:05:45.960 --> 0:05:48.640 But he is he is worthy of top five talent. 0:05:48.680 --> 0:05:51.320 He's worthy of top five consideration, but I've hard time 0:05:51.400 --> 0:05:54.000 ranking him there. I am fascinated to see what McClanahan 0:05:54.000 --> 0:05:57.120 does in the next eighty innings. You know that that's 0:05:57.120 --> 0:05:59.360 the one thing about that. You know, everybody's on the 0:05:59.400 --> 0:06:01.839 McClanahan wagon right now. You know me, I'm team Verlander 0:06:01.839 --> 0:06:03.320 for the cy young have been all year. I'm not 0:06:03.320 --> 0:06:06.160 going to change horses now, but I'm fascinated to see 0:06:06.200 --> 0:06:09.920 can he can he run the table here because if 0:06:09.920 --> 0:06:13.000 he doesn't, it's Verlander's award and it's it's. 0:06:12.920 --> 0:06:15.960 Yea for the alt. So like in the clump, I 0:06:16.000 --> 0:06:20.799 think the Tier one clump is McClanahan, Burns, Cole and Alcantra. 0:06:20.920 --> 0:06:23.240 That's like clump one of consistency and. 0:06:23.200 --> 0:06:24.599 How do you not put Muskrove in? 0:06:24.680 --> 0:06:27.160 But see, but that's my problem. I think Tier two 0:06:27.880 --> 0:06:31.000 is the Verlander musk Rove I think you got even 0:06:31.000 --> 0:06:34.160 though inconsistencies we're talking about fantasy. Dylan Ceese is kind 0:06:34.160 --> 0:06:35.960 of kind of be in there with the strikeouts. 0:06:35.800 --> 0:06:36.880 He's very consistent. 0:06:37.080 --> 0:06:39.599 Yeah, I'm probably forgetting somebody. But then my my question 0:06:39.720 --> 0:06:42.600 is does chuzer go back into that because you know, preseason, 0:06:42.600 --> 0:06:47.040 Suresuer was top two or three overall in sp miss 0:06:47.080 --> 0:06:49.240 his time, but he's back and he's back at it. 0:06:49.279 --> 0:06:51.600 So what's the thing that moves him off? Is it 0:06:51.760 --> 0:06:53.400 that he had an injury? I mean, he's showing no 0:06:53.480 --> 0:06:55.640 ill signs. He's right back at it. And that's why 0:06:55.640 --> 0:06:58.720 I think there's always a really interesting discrepancy of these 0:06:58.720 --> 0:07:01.920 guys win. You know, somebody said Wheeler Wheeler could I 0:07:01.960 --> 0:07:03.839 don't know. I Wheeler's in that tier two. Now the 0:07:03.839 --> 0:07:08.240 next tier three? Yeah, is there an opportunity? Is there 0:07:08.279 --> 0:07:12.360 that trade acquisition opportunity out there when we haven't quite 0:07:12.360 --> 0:07:14.720 placed him back? Two more starts like this of Suersier 0:07:14.920 --> 0:07:16.720 and we're gonna be like, oh, yeah, we forgot. He 0:07:16.800 --> 0:07:18.520 is one of the best pitchers alive, even though he's 0:07:18.560 --> 0:07:21.280 a million years old. And you're saying Verland is so 0:07:21.320 --> 0:07:23.160 easy over him, I'm not even so sure. I just 0:07:23.200 --> 0:07:26.760 think that the top four is a clump. That's theirs, 0:07:26.840 --> 0:07:28.680 and then that next tier of guys, which I think 0:07:28.680 --> 0:07:31.560 Suser has to go back into, is open for interpretation. 0:07:32.880 --> 0:07:33.800 Ranked the season. 0:07:33.680 --> 0:07:35.560 Where we ranked to gromw when he comes back is 0:07:35.560 --> 0:07:36.680 a more fascinating conversation. 0:07:36.680 --> 0:07:38.760 It is a much more fascinating that's the one. 0:07:38.840 --> 0:07:40.720 Let's save that for another day because we're gonna have 0:07:40.760 --> 0:07:41.400 to fill time with it. 0:07:41.440 --> 0:07:42.720 I think it's a much bigger debate. 0:07:44.120 --> 0:07:45.520 We're gonna have to do that on the day where 0:07:45.560 --> 0:07:47.680 we don't have baseball by the All Star break time. 0:07:47.800 --> 0:07:50.240 That's that where do we re you know what we 0:07:50.240 --> 0:07:52.160 should do that we should do our official rest of 0:07:52.240 --> 0:07:53.160 season rankings. 0:07:53.480 --> 0:07:55.400 Let's make that day after the All Star break. 0:07:55.400 --> 0:07:57.560 That's what we'll do because there's no actual games to 0:07:57.560 --> 0:07:58.040 talk about. 0:07:58.120 --> 0:08:00.680 Nobody can the more photoshop contest. We have a mustache 0:08:00.680 --> 0:08:04.080 photoshop contest. Maybe on the next one. 0:08:04.160 --> 0:08:07.480 Sandy al Contra was dominant over eight scoreless sittings. This 0:08:07.560 --> 0:08:09.080 is a player that's not gonna be on the Marlins 0:08:09.160 --> 0:08:10.920 much longer. I'm just telling you guys, they're not gonna 0:08:10.920 --> 0:08:13.480 pay him. It's just not gonna happen. So I would 0:08:13.480 --> 0:08:15.160 be you know, there's certain things like you want to 0:08:15.200 --> 0:08:17.840 buy low on people. He's a bye high in any 0:08:17.920 --> 0:08:20.080 keeper dynasty format. If you can get Sandy al Contra 0:08:20.160 --> 0:08:21.840 for the next few years when he goes out and 0:08:22.200 --> 0:08:23.760 gets paid a ton of money, and this is a 0:08:23.880 --> 0:08:25.600 you know, it's been a fascinating journey for him because 0:08:25.600 --> 0:08:28.400 this was a guy that flashed this dominant moments. And 0:08:28.440 --> 0:08:30.040 I remember he used to own the Mets. When he 0:08:30.040 --> 0:08:32.280 first came up, he would be dropping ten K games 0:08:32.280 --> 0:08:34.960 against the Mets. Then he would struggle against other teams. 0:08:35.000 --> 0:08:37.319 But you could see it, you could see the talent 0:08:37.400 --> 0:08:39.080 was there, and him putting all together in the last 0:08:39.160 --> 0:08:42.240 year and a half just been unbelievable. Chris Bryant, Chris 0:08:42.240 --> 0:08:46.400 Bryant's hiding finally for the Rockies. Uh So there you 0:08:46.440 --> 0:08:47.079 go where at one? 0:08:47.360 --> 0:08:47.800 There you go? 0:08:47.920 --> 0:08:49.080 Did it? He did it? 0:08:49.520 --> 0:08:54.840 Yay Anticipation Trophy for Chris Bryant. Kyle Schwarber hit two 0:08:55.679 --> 0:08:59.400 continues to be a slugging value all across the board 0:08:59.400 --> 0:09:00.600 in Fantasy End for the Phillies. 0:09:00.640 --> 0:09:02.160 He was a great signing. I love this signing for 0:09:02.200 --> 0:09:03.040 the Phillies. This year. 0:09:03.400 --> 0:09:06.360 Var Show had a three homer game versus the Giants. 0:09:06.400 --> 0:09:09.240 There Cedric Mullens reach base five times and a lot 0:09:09.240 --> 0:09:13.360 of MVP chants for Jordan Alvarez. Uh and of course 0:09:13.440 --> 0:09:15.440 he had a home run yesterday too. So I picked 0:09:15.480 --> 0:09:18.680 Jordan Alvarez for five six days. He didn't home just 0:09:18.840 --> 0:09:21.200 every other day. No, but I picked him again today, 0:09:21.200 --> 0:09:23.640 which means he won't so everybody the spoiler alert. 0:09:24.160 --> 0:09:27.760 But look, he's not m v P. It's he can't 0:09:27.840 --> 0:09:30.000 leave Prago Tani and it's gonna be hard. 0:09:29.920 --> 0:09:32.640 To leap frog Judge to you. So, I mean, it's 0:09:32.640 --> 0:09:34.720 a fun conversation, but it's not one worth having. 0:09:34.840 --> 0:09:35.439 It's cute. 0:09:35.520 --> 0:09:39.560 It's cute astro fas like not to like, it's super funny. Yeah, 0:09:39.600 --> 0:09:42.800 you're so adorbed. I love you all your little cute 0:09:42.840 --> 0:09:44.800 things like, oh, you want to be a fireman when 0:09:44.840 --> 0:09:47.080 you grow up, and you also want Jordan MVP. You 0:09:47.120 --> 0:09:47.640 can do it. 0:09:47.840 --> 0:09:49.679 Your name starts with a why, but we say it 0:09:49.760 --> 0:09:51.400 like a j It's so adorable. It's fun. 0:09:51.480 --> 0:09:52.839 I love it. I love it. 0:09:53.200 --> 0:09:57.120 Uh, it was very swinger. It's just that of us, 0:09:57.280 --> 0:09:58.400 like we're just beating around the punny. 0:09:58.440 --> 0:10:02.240 You're just like a big bear man there. You don't 0:10:02.240 --> 0:10:04.920 know what you do to this little money for a second, then. 0:10:05.320 --> 0:10:06.839 Yeah, yeah, no, no, I knew, I know, I know, 0:10:06.880 --> 0:10:07.480 I know how to do it. 0:10:08.480 --> 0:10:11.559 Not to do the whole bit clause injuries to talk 0:10:11.559 --> 0:10:13.560 about Kyle Hendricks leaves start with a sore shoulder that 0:10:13.559 --> 0:10:15.679 ain't good CT scans, so there's no issues. 0:10:15.679 --> 0:10:16.920 For Craig Kimball's back. 0:10:17.520 --> 0:10:19.439 X rays clean on Bobby Wood Junior's hand after you 0:10:19.480 --> 0:10:22.240 exit the game, so that's positive. But no MRI results 0:10:22.320 --> 0:10:26.559 yet for Frankie Mantas's shoulder, Welsh Montas Go. 0:10:27.400 --> 0:10:29.000 Don't like it. No, I don't like it. One of 0:10:29.000 --> 0:10:30.520 the market. 0:10:30.760 --> 0:10:31.800 I like man. 0:10:31.960 --> 0:10:33.880 I mean I want I want him to move on 0:10:33.960 --> 0:10:36.560 to another team. I want another team to curate him 0:10:36.559 --> 0:10:40.480 with offensive support and better defensive support and just you know, 0:10:40.840 --> 0:10:44.640 anything that Oakland doesn't provide, and a shoulder injury. Injury 0:10:44.640 --> 0:10:46.520 is a major worry. You know, this is something that 0:10:46.600 --> 0:10:50.080 could completely derail the trade value. It could derail part 0:10:50.080 --> 0:10:53.720 of the season if it's even mildly bad. So I'm 0:10:53.920 --> 0:10:57.240 very concerned, and obviously fantasy owners should be really, really 0:10:57.320 --> 0:10:58.920 concerned by the results of this. 0:10:58.920 --> 0:11:01.840 This is the worst two for the because they looked 0:11:01.880 --> 0:11:06.600 like geniuses about three weeks ago, waiting for the Montas market, right, 0:11:06.720 --> 0:11:08.560 they went ahead and they traded me and Ia before 0:11:08.600 --> 0:11:11.600 the season started, and they waited for this Montos market 0:11:11.640 --> 0:11:13.920 to build, and it is built to a fever pitch. 0:11:14.400 --> 0:11:15.679 But then that one thing you know, the. 0:11:15.679 --> 0:11:19.440 Injury just can just destroy it and now they're gonna 0:11:19.440 --> 0:11:21.199 have remorse if they can't move them, or if people, 0:11:21.240 --> 0:11:22.520 you know, get sketchy about. 0:11:22.320 --> 0:11:24.839 The medical as. You almost wonder if it's like something 0:11:24.840 --> 0:11:27.400 the Reds would deal with with Molly and Castilla, Like 0:11:27.400 --> 0:11:30.360 I don't know if they move either or move only one. 0:11:30.679 --> 0:11:32.840 But seeing something like that, you wonder if it gives 0:11:32.880 --> 0:11:35.040 any pause to teams maybe you know, I don't know, 0:11:35.160 --> 0:11:37.559 maybe kicking the tires a little bit on this trade market. 0:11:38.120 --> 0:11:40.040 You know, I don't think I talked about this with you. 0:11:40.200 --> 0:11:41.800 I might have mentioned it yesterday with Box, but we 0:11:41.800 --> 0:11:44.480 had a big discussion on the Sunday show on Sports 0:11:44.520 --> 0:11:45.160 Grid about this. 0:11:45.320 --> 0:11:47.040 Which I have the brainchild of. 0:11:47.440 --> 0:11:49.560 If you're the Minnesota Twins, you go out to the 0:11:49.559 --> 0:11:53.280 Reds and you get Castillo and Molly, you trade Royce 0:11:53.320 --> 0:11:56.280 low because acl injuries are not what they used to be. 0:11:56.760 --> 0:11:59.960 You have you know, you signed Korea anyway, so you're 0:12:00.080 --> 0:12:02.080 living there. Royce Lewis isn't going to help you this year. 0:12:02.520 --> 0:12:05.600 You move Larnick, you move kral Off, you take back 0:12:05.920 --> 0:12:07.960 those two pitchers and you try to compete for that 0:12:08.040 --> 0:12:10.160 central What do you think of that blockbuster concept. 0:12:10.240 --> 0:12:12.880 So you're doing Larnick and Royce Lewis. 0:12:13.000 --> 0:12:17.640 I'm saying, here's the three position player ready to go 0:12:17.880 --> 0:12:20.920 day one in your lineup Cincinnati Red Guys on opening 0:12:21.000 --> 0:12:21.600 day next. 0:12:21.480 --> 0:12:23.079 Year, next year. I was about to say, I want 0:12:23.080 --> 0:12:23.920 to yeah, next year. 0:12:23.960 --> 0:12:25.840 Ryce Lewis is gonna be out for these year. But 0:12:25.880 --> 0:12:28.920 like three guys, you can say, Okay, this is our rebuild. 0:12:28.920 --> 0:12:31.320 Here's our players we're going to rebuild around. And you 0:12:31.440 --> 0:12:35.720 get two legitimate front end starters now into that rotation 0:12:35.880 --> 0:12:38.240 to go with Ryan and whatever else you can piece together. 0:12:38.520 --> 0:12:39.200 Who's healthy. 0:12:39.360 --> 0:12:41.240 What do you think of that blockbuster concept of going 0:12:41.240 --> 0:12:42.640 out there not getting the one, but going for the 0:12:42.679 --> 0:12:44.600 two and just going all in. If you're the Twins, 0:12:44.640 --> 0:12:46.199 because the Guardians are starting to come back to earth 0:12:46.200 --> 0:12:48.240 a little bit, the White Sox are still the White Sox. 0:12:48.280 --> 0:12:49.839 They you know, they're like one step up and two 0:12:49.840 --> 0:12:52.120 steps back. I think the Twins should go all in 0:12:52.160 --> 0:12:52.920 here and give it a shot. 0:12:53.240 --> 0:12:55.000 I mean, I agree that they should go all in. 0:12:55.320 --> 0:12:57.120 Would I do that trade if I'm them? I mean, 0:12:57.160 --> 0:13:00.480 probably two controllable young pitchers who are big strikeout guys. 0:13:00.880 --> 0:13:05.880 You have a formidable rotation. Now, the the realism of 0:13:05.920 --> 0:13:10.040 that happening, I feel like the Reds would need pitching back. 0:13:10.080 --> 0:13:12.600 You know, they've done it half decent job. They acquired. 0:13:12.640 --> 0:13:15.040 They've got this guy Joe Doyle. They acquired Connor Phillips 0:13:15.080 --> 0:13:17.440 in the offseason. They've got a couple of guys. They've 0:13:17.440 --> 0:13:19.800 obviously got Green and Lodolo to back off of, but 0:13:19.920 --> 0:13:22.560 they I wouldn't say they have a ton more, so 0:13:22.600 --> 0:13:25.439 they would need something back. The Twins don't exactly have 0:13:25.559 --> 0:13:27.880 tons of pitching, but they got this kid, Jordan Blazovic. 0:13:28.240 --> 0:13:31.080 So I'm picking I'm you know, picking Harris here. Like 0:13:31.160 --> 0:13:34.559 maybe it ends up being Royce Lewis and kirol Off 0:13:34.600 --> 0:13:36.640 and then maybe they trade one of those pitching prospects 0:13:36.640 --> 0:13:38.760 and another young guy at the end of the day. Yeah, 0:13:38.760 --> 0:13:40.080 I would do it if I'm the Twins. I think 0:13:40.120 --> 0:13:42.679 it helps it happen. I'm a believer. I'm a cure 0:13:42.720 --> 0:13:45.679 Lot believer. I'm a Royces believer. But you got to 0:13:45.679 --> 0:13:47.439 go money direct. 0:13:47.520 --> 0:13:49.160 So you might as well. You might as well move him. 0:13:49.240 --> 0:13:50.360 I mean, he showed a lot of. 0:13:50.400 --> 0:13:53.080 Crea comes back though. If Karrea doesn't come back. 0:13:53.040 --> 0:13:55.280 I think that's the caveat. The caveat is if you 0:13:55.320 --> 0:13:57.280 go and you win. Isn't that an easier sell to 0:13:57.320 --> 0:13:58.400 Carl's Kara to come back? 0:13:58.840 --> 0:13:59.560 No, I agree with that. 0:13:59.600 --> 0:14:02.360 If it's it's sort of you know, chicken an egg 0:14:02.440 --> 0:14:04.760 in that sense, like make that move. You're Minnesota, go 0:14:04.800 --> 0:14:07.600 ahead and make go all in. This is your opportunity 0:14:07.640 --> 0:14:09.880 to win the Central and maybe be the front runner 0:14:09.920 --> 0:14:11.880 next year too. Who knows what's going on with these 0:14:11.880 --> 0:14:13.520 white I mean the white I mean Eloja men is 0:14:13.559 --> 0:14:15.319 supposed to come back, and everyone's waiting for her to 0:14:15.360 --> 0:14:16.400 come back, and everyone's. 0:14:16.120 --> 0:14:17.800 Looking at each other, go, what's going on here? 0:14:18.080 --> 0:14:20.600 White sox are It's a really interesting concept of like 0:14:20.760 --> 0:14:23.760 Royce maybe do Josh Winder and then one of Larnick 0:14:23.760 --> 0:14:25.720 and kirol Off. I feel like the team would want 0:14:25.720 --> 0:14:28.480 to keep kierl Off. You know, I'm just big on him. 0:14:28.520 --> 0:14:31.240 He's really starting to turn the corner, powers getting back, 0:14:31.360 --> 0:14:34.400 major contact guy, just a super smart kid. But I 0:14:34.400 --> 0:14:35.200 don't think it would. 0:14:35.000 --> 0:14:35.320 Hold it up. 0:14:35.320 --> 0:14:37.200 I don't think it would hold it up here. But Larnick, 0:14:37.240 --> 0:14:38.280 Winder and Royce. 0:14:38.080 --> 0:14:41.280 Would probably be as you know, as good Castillo and 0:14:41.320 --> 0:14:43.560 Molly put you in the conversation that if you got 0:14:43.600 --> 0:14:47.880 in the playoffs with Castillo, Molly and Joe Ryan, you have. 0:14:47.840 --> 0:14:48.840 A puncher's chance. 0:14:49.160 --> 0:14:51.560 Yeah, you just do, and you would have and you 0:14:51.560 --> 0:14:53.560 would look good next year too, because those guys are 0:14:53.560 --> 0:14:54.720 I believe both controllable. 0:14:54.760 --> 0:14:55.760 Neither of you. Molly. 0:14:56.040 --> 0:14:59.280 I believe that's part of the problem that's keeping Castillo 0:14:59.280 --> 0:15:01.680 and Mali not from being moved is they're still control 0:15:01.760 --> 0:15:03.440 We're not even through arbitration, I think with Mom. 0:15:03.680 --> 0:15:04.400 And that's why you have. 0:15:04.400 --> 0:15:06.880 To give them, not prospects, you have to give them 0:15:06.920 --> 0:15:08.560 major league ready, young talent. 0:15:09.000 --> 0:15:10.360 That's pre arbitration. 0:15:10.480 --> 0:15:12.960 They can get in there and go ahead, and you 0:15:13.000 --> 0:15:16.120 can sell that to the fan bases like look, Lodolo Green, 0:15:16.280 --> 0:15:18.560 that's the future of our pitching staff. Hopefully those guys 0:15:18.600 --> 0:15:20.440 become who we think they can be. I know there's 0:15:20.440 --> 0:15:22.760 been some struggles this year, but their kids and then 0:15:22.800 --> 0:15:24.680 you build around this young talent, and that's what you 0:15:24.720 --> 0:15:25.160 try to do. 0:15:25.280 --> 0:15:27.160 That's what I'd like to see. It's a fun conversation. 0:15:27.240 --> 0:15:29.120 We just spent more time on the twins than we 0:15:29.160 --> 0:15:30.960 spent all year on the twins, so good for them. 0:15:32.200 --> 0:15:35.240 Let's talk about this updated top one hundred prospect list 0:15:35.720 --> 0:15:36.600 looks a little different. 0:15:36.640 --> 0:15:36.880 Here. 0:15:37.200 --> 0:15:39.520 Just came through from Major League Baseball. Number one, Riley 0:15:39.520 --> 0:15:42.360 Green had himself a nice night. Francisco Alvarez, the catching 0:15:42.360 --> 0:15:45.600 prospect for the Mets is number two. And while you 0:15:45.720 --> 0:15:47.800 Dynasty people out there, all you Keeper league people, he 0:15:47.840 --> 0:15:50.520 just moved up to Triple A last week. Corbyn Carrol 0:15:50.520 --> 0:15:54.400 of the Diamondbacks was number three. Grayson Rodriguez a four gunner, 0:15:54.480 --> 0:15:57.280 Henderson at five. So the Orioles have two guys at 0:15:57.320 --> 0:15:59.680 four and five and the top five Mont. 0:16:01.000 --> 0:16:02.400 For the Blue Jays at six. 0:16:02.480 --> 0:16:05.840 The catching prospect there Jordan Walker for the Cardinals at seven, 0:16:05.920 --> 0:16:07.920 Anthony Volpi and eight, who I actually got to see 0:16:07.920 --> 0:16:10.240 play in person a few weeks ago over in New Jersey. 0:16:10.280 --> 0:16:12.520 It was very fun. Good player here. He reminds me 0:16:12.560 --> 0:16:13.360 a lot of Padroya. 0:16:13.400 --> 0:16:15.920 He in that skill set wise and the way he 0:16:15.960 --> 0:16:18.240 turns on the ball, and he's very Paedroya esque. I 0:16:18.280 --> 0:16:21.640 see a Pedroya esque career for him. A little bit 0:16:21.680 --> 0:16:23.920 stronger in the lower half, a little bit thicker of 0:16:23.960 --> 0:16:26.360 a kid. Padroita was very slight, especially when he was young. 0:16:26.760 --> 0:16:30.680 Luciano is nine for the San Francisco Giants, and Marcelo 0:16:30.800 --> 0:16:33.400
