Would have been a very different thing for 0:01:13.840 --> 0:01:18.360 me to say, Uh, Joe, Chris, Chris, Joe, this won't 0:01:18.360 --> 0:01:19.360 be confusing at all, will it. 0:01:19.400 --> 0:01:19.560 Well? 0:01:19.800 --> 0:01:21.520 I didn't even realize we got two jokes. 0:01:21.600 --> 0:01:22.679 I just realized it myself. 0:01:22.680 --> 0:01:23.800 Oh my god, what do we do? 0:01:23.840 --> 0:01:24.120 All right? 0:01:24.160 --> 0:01:26.400 So we got to do the high school thing piece 0:01:26.440 --> 0:01:28.880 of Pia clegg E, Rico and Welsh. That's how we 0:01:28.959 --> 0:01:31.160 reference everybody. That's really the only way to do it. 0:01:31.440 --> 0:01:34.000 There you go, Joe Rico, You're gonna be drafting from 0:01:34.000 --> 0:01:36.920 the one spot, so I assume it's Ronald Acunya for you. 0:01:36.920 --> 0:01:38.800 You're not going any different, would that be correct? 0:01:38.880 --> 0:01:41.000 Yeah, there's gonna be no crazy stuff going on here, 0:01:41.040 --> 0:01:43.360 not yet. Anyway, We're gonna we're gonna keep it nice 0:01:43.360 --> 0:01:45.560 and easy with Acuoni at the one, for sure. 0:01:45.560 --> 0:01:47.840 Nice and easy at the one. Jaeger Bombs is at 0:01:47.840 --> 0:01:51.040 one oh two. Hughes is back again for more at 0:01:51.040 --> 0:01:53.560 one O three.

Did okay, I didn't do 0:02:00.320 --> 0:02:02.120 as well as I did because I want a draft 0:02:02.120 --> 0:02:05.000 finally here, My goodness is so good. Chris Cleig, you're 0:02:05.040 --> 0:02:06.960 in the middle.

So I've had 0:02:14.560 --> 0:02:17.160 a lot of top like I've had surprisingly an FBC, 0:02:17.200 --> 0:02:19.959 I've had like one oh one like four times, which 0:02:20.000 --> 0:02:22.120 is kind of crazy, and I've had the back end 0:02:22.160 --> 0:02:22.440 of the turn. 0:02:22.520 --> 0:02:23.640 So I was like, hey, let's do the middle. 0:02:23.680 --> 0:02:24.240 Have fun. 0:02:24.560 --> 0:02:26.919 There we go, Joe Rico, you are officially on the clock. 0:02:26.960 --> 0:02:29.639 We've begun here, so go ahead and make your Ronald 0:02:29.680 --> 0:02:34.960 Acunya selection.

Chommer is at one eleven, 0:02:45.560 --> 0:02:48.240 and of course I took the turn this time because 0:02:48.440 --> 0:02:49.880 I won from the one spot. Now I want to 0:02:49.919 --> 0:02:51.920 prove that I can win from the twelve spot.

Okay, Ron Nacooney off 0:03:51.720 --> 0:03:54.040 the board, Mookie Bets off the board, Bobby Wit, nothing 0:03:54.080 --> 0:03:57.720 crazy here, that one fool goes Wan Soto. Interesting there, 0:03:57.720 --> 0:03:59.920 haven't gotten that one yet. But a points league, Iobi, 0:04:00.760 --> 0:04:03.000 that's a good player, lots of walks. Julio goes to 0:04:03.040 --> 0:04:05.320 Joe Nowle at one O five, Cleg, you took Freddy 0:04:05.360 --> 0:04:08.520 Freeman at one six. That's earlier that I had seen 0:04:08.520 --> 0:04:11.920 Freeman go. But then again, we're talking about points, and 0:04:11.960 --> 0:04:14.400 we're talking about we do have corner spots here. We're 0:04:14.400 --> 0:04:17.120 doing three outfielders, two utils, so let's talk about it. 0:04:17.760 --> 0:04:19.360 I mean, he's like as safe as they come from 0:04:19.360 --> 0:04:22.040 a point standpoint, hiobip and I wouldn't take him this 0:04:22.080 --> 0:04:24.320 high in a Rhodo draft, but you know what you're 0:04:24.360 --> 0:04:27.800 getting from Freddy year over year and such a safe lock. 0:04:27.920 --> 0:04:31.760 He's he's gonna provide and gonna provide top notch points, 0:04:31.839 --> 0:04:33.520 I think. And he's been durable. You know, he's been 0:04:33.560 --> 0:04:36.880 on the field, been healthy. So yeah, I was debating, 0:04:36.880 --> 0:04:38.360 but I was like, you know what, Freeman is the 0:04:38.360 --> 0:04:38.880 points play? 0:04:38.920 --> 0:04:39.120 Here? 0:04:39.600 --> 0:04:41.760 There you go, So Freeman is the points play Welsh, 0:04:42.040 --> 0:04:44.239 you went pitcher with the first pick to tease Carol 0:04:44.279 --> 0:04:46.599 off the board, then Spencer Streider. It is a head 0:04:46.600 --> 0:04:49.080 to head points league, so the dominant pitcher is certainly 0:04:49.080 --> 0:04:49.960 a useful piece. 0:04:50.520 --> 0:04:53.160 Yeah, I mean I passed up Kyle Tucker who fell. 0:04:53.240 --> 0:04:57.440 Corman Carroll went right before me. I mean, judge, who 0:04:57.440 --> 0:05:01.400 you just took? I almost just slammed. But we know 0:05:01.480 --> 0:05:04.000 the pitching markets kind of changed with Garrett Cole out there. 0:05:04.040 --> 0:05:05.800 I just did a mock draft on it TL where 0:05:05.839 --> 0:05:08.159 Strider went to. It wasn't a points league, but you 0:05:08.160 --> 0:05:10.159 know people wanting those. But in points leagues, I'm going 0:05:10.240 --> 0:05:13.440 to value pitchers a little bit more than usual. So 0:05:13.440 --> 0:05:15.840 getting Strider, I think at nine is kind of a steal. 0:05:16.279 --> 0:05:19.359 But boy, I am so upset with the start. You 0:05:19.480 --> 0:05:21.680 just got to get to this points league. That's why 0:05:21.720 --> 0:05:23.600 twelve n of points is really really nice. 0:05:23.839 --> 0:05:27.440 Yeah. Well, so look I understand taking Strider. Honestly, this 0:05:27.480 --> 0:05:29.880 is the one format where I am okay with him 0:05:29.880 --> 0:05:31.640 as a first round pick. I'm good with it. I 0:05:31.680 --> 0:05:33.680 get it, you know in every other format. You know 0:05:33.760 --> 0:05:35.479 my strategy. I don't want to miss the offense. But 0:05:35.680 --> 0:05:37.320 you're going head to head points with a guy who's 0:05:37.320 --> 0:05:41.320 striking out, you know, two guys every inning. It's it's unbelievable. Yeah, 0:05:41.360 --> 0:05:43.560 so I understand going there. The other problem is if 0:05:43.600 --> 0:05:47.520 he goes down, so goes your season. Kyle Tucker next 0:05:47.520 --> 0:05:50.160 at one ten, show Tany at one eleven. Then I 0:05:50.240 --> 0:05:54.000 took Aaron, Judge and Matt Olsen. Everybody knows my love 0:05:54.000 --> 0:05:55.880 for matt Olsen. I think he could go hit another 0:05:55.920 --> 0:05:58.440 fifty home runs this year. Judge can stay on the field. 0:05:58.440 --> 0:06:00.880 Who knows what we'll get out of him. But because 0:06:00.920 --> 0:06:04.039 we are with the two utility spots, I'm still willing 0:06:04.040 --> 0:06:05.880 to go with Judge here and there in outfield is 0:06:05.920 --> 0:06:07.400 not great. So give me the outfielder, give me the 0:06:07.400 --> 0:06:10.640 first basement. I feel good about that. Uh Se. Schamer 0:06:10.839 --> 0:06:14.840 took Devors at two o two, Hammer Dan took Trey 0:06:14.839 --> 0:06:17.200 Turner at two three, and the Welsh you are up again, 0:06:17.240 --> 0:06:18.120 So what are you doing? You know? 0:06:18.560 --> 0:06:18.880 Uh So? 0:06:18.920 --> 0:06:21.039 I was at a spring training game yesterday and seconds 0:06:21.160 --> 0:06:22.120 I know I'm gonna make it. 0:06:22.200 --> 0:06:24.599 Let you let your tales of welshisms. 0:06:24.640 --> 0:06:26.000 I'm setting it over your pick. 0:06:26.120 --> 0:06:28.400 A guy comes down, uh, and I thought he was 0:06:28.440 --> 0:06:30.760 trying to like pass me. And he comes over and 0:06:30.839 --> 0:06:34.080 he starts talking for a second and he goes, I 0:06:34.160 --> 0:06:36.200 see the Welsh and I gotta come down and talk. 0:06:36.200 --> 0:06:37.720 And I went, oh, my god, you know who I am. 0:06:37.760 --> 0:06:39.720 This is randomly there and he's like, I watch you 0:06:39.760 --> 0:06:41.279 and Joe. You know what he said? 0:06:41.360 --> 0:06:41.520 Joe? 0:06:41.960 --> 0:06:42.039 What? 0:06:42.200 --> 0:06:44.800 You know what he said? He said, you gotta hate Joe. Oh, 0:06:45.000 --> 0:06:46.320 you're gonna hate him. I got it. 0:06:46.400 --> 0:06:49.200 You gotta tell that Joe guy to let you talk more. 0:06:49.440 --> 0:06:52.160 He was a full on Welsh guy. Yeah, he said, 0:06:52.200 --> 0:06:54.320 you gotta tell that guy to let to you for 0:06:54.400 --> 0:06:56.840 you to have more. And he will also referred to 0:06:56.880 --> 0:06:59.200 me by my god given name the Welsh. So shout 0:06:59.200 --> 0:07:01.479 out to him and out to our listeners for grabbing. 0:07:02.600 --> 0:07:04.360 Shout out to Jordan Lvarez, who I just took. 0:07:04.440 --> 0:07:07.600 I'm gonna talk twice as much. That's that's it. Now 0:07:07.640 --> 0:07:09.880 I can talk twice as much. But also on top 0:07:09.920 --> 0:07:12.800 of that, I'm gonna I'm gonna let you talk even 0:07:12.840 --> 0:07:15.040 half as much as you did before, and I'm sure 0:07:15.040 --> 0:07:16.160 that'll make him very happy. 0:07:16.680 --> 0:07:18.760 Will But I got Jordanalvarez in a points league, which 0:07:18.760 --> 0:07:19.080 is amazing. 0:07:19.080 --> 0:07:21.920 There's nothing worse than the person who's talking hosting a show. 0:07:22.040 --> 0:07:25.080 It's really it's really difficult. 0:07:24.680 --> 0:07:26.440 You know, Listen, I don't know what to tell you. 0:07:26.520 --> 0:07:29.560 So, like, if people love me, then they're just gonna 0:07:29.600 --> 0:07:30.560 love me, Joe, I don't know what. 0:07:30.760 --> 0:07:35.000 There's other YouTube channels people can watch. I'm just saying, folks. 0:07:34.920 --> 0:07:36.680 But I'm not on those. That's the problem.

Hugh Morris, how 0:09:05.840 --> 0:09:07.800 did you get Julian Edelman to the draft, Jo Rico, 0:09:07.840 --> 0:09:08.679 I can only assume. 0:09:11.440 --> 0:09:13.040 I think it depends on me. 0:09:14.000 --> 0:09:16.800 It feels like but I feel like it's playoff. Is 0:09:16.920 --> 0:09:19.120 Joe Rico like Joe kind of like has that the 0:09:19.160 --> 0:09:20.880 longer hair like I think it was like a mode 0:09:20.880 --> 0:09:23.040 there for at one point. But Chris Clegg is like 0:09:23.080 --> 0:09:26.000 the cleaned up Julian Edelman that we got like in 0:09:26.080 --> 0:09:26.920 post retirement. 0:09:26.960 --> 0:09:28.720 I feel like, I guess I'll take it. 0:09:28.760 --> 0:09:32.560 I mean, un lackey Clegg, It's much better than what 0:09:32.640 --> 0:09:33.640 I get, So don't worry. 0:09:34.040 --> 0:09:36.960 Rico Bronia as you are in my phone. Rico Bronia 0:09:36.960 --> 0:09:40.080 as the Arizona Diamondbacks. That is the best pig ever. 0:09:40.679 --> 0:09:43.920 All right, speaking of picks, you took Alvarez there with 0:09:44.000 --> 0:09:46.880 your second and Jose Ramirez to mctunda at two A five, 0:09:46.960 --> 0:09:50.319 Bryce Harper next, Chris Clegg, Austin Riley, Freddie Freeman. That's 0:09:50.320 --> 0:09:52.720 a hell of a start. You got the corners. Uh, 0:09:52.760 --> 0:09:53.800 this feels pretty good for. 0:09:53.760 --> 0:09:55.920 You, I imagine, Yeah, you know, I considered a picture there, 0:09:55.960 --> 0:09:58.280 but you're looking at it. I figured I have a 0:09:58.320 --> 0:10:01.600 kind of a tear like after stride, especially with cole down. 0:10:01.679 --> 0:10:02.960 There's just a big tier of guys. 0:10:03.000 --> 0:10:06.040 So yeah, I debated taking Corbyn Burns, but I was like, 0:10:06.040 --> 0:10:07.760 you know what, I'll get a similar arm in the 0:10:07.760 --> 0:10:10.319 third round, and it's looking like that will happen, So yeah, 0:10:10.400 --> 0:10:13.160 Riley and Freeman feels like a really good start so far. 0:10:13.520 --> 0:10:16.680 So Chris Clegg is feeling good about his start. Of course, 0:10:16.720 --> 0:10:18.839 after you took Riley, two pitchers went off the board 0:10:18.920 --> 0:10:22.800 in a row, Corbyn Burns, Zach Wheeler, Hughes then took 0:10:22.880 --> 0:10:25.560 lad Guerrero, Marcus Simeon, Joe Rico. You had two picks 0:10:25.600 --> 0:10:27.520 here at the end of the second beginning of the third. 0:10:27.920 --> 0:10:29.400 I love the one you did in the third. What 0:10:29.559 --> 0:10:32.760 great value. Albi's there and Louis Castillo, so let's talk 0:10:32.800 --> 0:10:34.720 about this. You got your picture, he got a second basement. 0:10:34.720 --> 0:10:35.320 How do you feel? 0:10:36.000 --> 0:10:38.720 I feel really good with I almost debated going like 0:10:38.760 --> 0:10:42.440 two starting pitchers, and just because Acuna is almost two 0:10:42.480 --> 0:10:44.319 batters in and of himself there you can kind of 0:10:44.360 --> 0:10:45.600 take a couple of pictures afterwards. 0:10:45.640 --> 0:10:46.800 But I went with Castillo. 0:10:46.880 --> 0:10:49.240 Lockdown that first stud Like you guys mentioned, having that 0:10:50.080 --> 0:10:52.600 ace tier starter for points leagues is really key and 0:10:52.640 --> 0:10:55.000 then I got the little mini stacked, the season long 0:10:55.040 --> 0:10:57.480 mini stack here with Albi's and Acunya, and those guys 0:10:57.520 --> 0:10:59.400 are probably gonna be playing off each other quite a bit, 0:11:00.200 --> 0:11:00.640 a lot. 0:11:00.480 --> 0:11:02.160 Of chopping for you, a Rico, You're gonna be doing 0:11:02.160 --> 0:11:04.480 a lot of the chop. I can't believe that's still 0:11:04.520 --> 0:11:06.400 a thing. It's like forty years ago. I feel like 0:11:06.440 --> 0:11:09.080 the chop, but we're still doing it. I think it's over. 0:11:09.240 --> 0:11:12.040 Corey Seger goes next at three zho two, Gunner Henderson, 0:11:12.280 --> 0:11:14.760 then Pete Alonzo, Kevin Gossman at three zero five to 0:11:14.840 --> 0:11:17.920 Joe Newell, Chris, you got your pitcher, Pablo Lopez. Did 0:11:17.920 --> 0:11:20.560 you want gossmin Or? Was Lopez or Kirby the guy 0:11:20.600 --> 0:11:21.800 you were trying to debate between? 0:11:22.080 --> 0:11:23.920 No, I mean Lopez was the guy. I've got him 0:11:23.960 --> 0:11:26.640 over Gusman at this point. I think that he's just 0:11:26.880 --> 0:11:30.840 such a safe lock now for inning, strikeouts and solid ratios. 0:11:30.880 --> 0:11:33.280 So he was in that same tier with Burns and Wheeler. 0:11:33.880 --> 0:11:35.760 I probably like Castillo at the top of that tier, 0:11:35.800 --> 0:11:38.679 but you had to get Lopez after, you know, four 0:11:38.760 --> 0:11:40.760 or five pitchers went Yeah, pretty happy. 0:11:41.559 --> 0:11:44.760 Obviously a relative of mine. Angelo here in the chat says, 0:11:44.760 --> 0:11:46.960 I'm not passing on Strider if he's there in the 0:11:47.080 --> 0:11:49.600 end of round one. Yeah, it's hard in this format 0:11:49.720 --> 0:11:52.360 not to Welsh. You did not pass on him in 0:11:52.520 --> 0:11:55.040 round one, let alone at the very end of Alvarez 0:11:55.080 --> 0:11:58.320 Strider and Luis Robert with your pick after Michael Harris 0:11:58.320 --> 0:11:59.679 went off the board right before. 0:11:59.400 --> 0:12:01.040 You was that to me? 0:12:01.559 --> 0:12:03.240 Yeah, well, you're the man who took those players. 0:12:03.320 --> 0:12:04.040 I'm so sorry. 0:12:04.080 --> 0:12:06.400 I was real like, see, I got my wish. See, 0:12:06.400 --> 0:12:08.760 everybody wants you to talk more. I finally let to 0:12:08.800 --> 0:12:10.480 talk in you for once, have nothing to say. 0:12:11.160 --> 0:12:12.120 I was reading our chat. 0:12:12.120 --> 0:12:14.200 I'm trying to be very interactive with our lovely people, 0:12:14.400 --> 0:12:15.280 and they are. 0:12:15.240 --> 0:12:17.640 Just showering me with raise, and I got. 0:12:17.600 --> 0:12:20.480 Very distracted by the praise that was being showered across 0:12:20.480 --> 0:12:23.360 the board. I will tell you I absolutely just got 0:12:24.000 --> 0:12:26.880 just sniped across the board leading up to my pick. 0:12:27.240 --> 0:12:28.400 This is three outfielder. 0:12:28.480 --> 0:12:30.560 I probably didn't need to push too hard into getting 0:12:30.559 --> 0:12:32.800 a second outfielder. I wanted George Kirby, I would have 0:12:32.800 --> 0:12:35.720 taken Pablo Lopez. All of my guys went, so I 0:12:35.760 --> 0:12:38.960 went with Luish Robert for some big power to add 0:12:39.000 --> 0:12:41.520 in here we've said when in doubt, go with the outfield. 0:12:42.240 --> 0:12:45.800 Stolen bases don't quite mean as much. So I was 0:12:45.840 --> 0:12:48.400 thinking about the guy that just went two picks ago, Bobachette. 0:12:48.440 --> 0:12:50.760 I'm not a big Bobaschett guy, but in this format, 0:12:50.800 --> 0:12:52.840 I think he plays a little bit better, So now 0:12:52.880 --> 0:12:57.280 I won't be And lastly, I felt that once Kirby went, 0:12:57.679 --> 0:12:59.400 we kind of like what Claig was saying, we kind 0:12:59.400 --> 0:13:02.600 of changed tears of players that I liked and disliked. 0:13:02.640 --> 0:13:04.680 And I'm back up and I'm going to take another 0:13:04.720 --> 0:13:07.880 picture and I'm going to go with Zach Gallon. Zach 0:13:07.960 --> 0:13:11.760 Gallon paired with Strider and Jordan Alvarez and Luis Roberts. 0:13:12.320 --> 0:13:16.880 Well, I appreciate you gracing us again. Once you know 0:13:17.160 --> 0:13:19.959 all the flowers that Welsh has been getting, you can 0:13:20.000 --> 0:13:22.920 send more flowers to him on FTD or whatever they happen. 0:13:23.000 --> 0:13:25.760 I couldn't have set myself up worse than to tell 0:13:25.760 --> 0:13:28.040 this story about this guy that's like, well, just got to. 0:13:28.080 --> 0:13:30.520 Talk more, and then you go to me and I'm like, 0:13:31.000 --> 0:13:31.680 what was that to me? 0:13:33.000 --> 0:13:36.000 I think after this show he now understands why I 0:13:36.040 --> 0:13:40.800 do the talking, because You're a liability. That's what you are, 0:13:41.120 --> 0:13:45.480 all right. So after Francisco Lindor to Hammer Dan, you 0:13:45.559 --> 0:13:48.680 had Boba schet Go, I took Altuve again second base 0:13:48.720 --> 0:13:51.960 don't love it this year. That was also the recommended 0:13:52.000 --> 0:13:55.120 pick here from draft Wizard, and after doing a little 0:13:55.160 --> 0:13:58.400 clicking around, I agreed, and the pick predictor also agreed. 0:13:58.679 --> 0:14:00.280 I did want to go for a certain pick. And 0:14:00.320 --> 0:14:01.920 this was a tricky one here because I did not 0:14:01.960 --> 0:14:04.840 want to leave the fourth round of a of a 0:14:04.920 --> 0:14:07.400 head to head points without one. Scooba was out there, 0:14:07.480 --> 0:14:10.400 Yamamoto's out there. He just went off the board, actually, 0:14:10.400 --> 0:14:12.200 But Glass Now was the one that I end up taking. 0:14:12.240 --> 0:14:13.800 I'm gonna roll the dice here and hope that I 0:14:13.840 --> 0:14:17.120 get the big two hundred and forty strikeout glass now 0:14:17.160 --> 0:14:20.000 season that is in that tank somewhere. We haven't seen 0:14:20.040 --> 0:14:22.280 it yet because his career highs one hundred and twenty 0:14:22.280 --> 0:14:24.120 something innings and that was just last year. So if 0:14:24.120 --> 0:14:25.960 we get that, with all the wins, with all those things, 0:14:26.040 --> 0:14:29.200 I'm willing to risk that. With Judge Olsen al tuove 0:14:29.320 --> 0:14:30.840 in glass Now, I think I'm willing to go ahead 0:14:30.840 --> 0:14:31.360 and put that risk. 0:14:31.480 --> 0:14:34.200 Had you taken like Gallen. I was one hundred taken 0:14:34.280 --> 0:14:35.040 Glass now like that. 0:14:35.240 --> 0:14:37.960 And I can't take again. I struggle with Gallon now. 0:14:38.000 --> 0:14:41.440 Gallen was the top recommendation still, but because of those 0:14:41.600 --> 0:14:43.720 giant innings of two forty three last year, I still 0:14:43.720 --> 0:14:46.760 can't get around that. And schoolball. I love Schooball, but again, 0:14:46.920 --> 0:14:48.480 one hundred nine innings last year. I know you can 0:14:48.480 --> 0:14:50.480 say the same thing about Glass now, but one pitches 0:14:50.520 --> 0:14:52.680 for the Tigers, and this is a head to head points. 0:14:53.000 --> 0:14:55.280 I want those ws. I want those quality stars depending 0:14:55.280 --> 0:14:56.080 on what the scoring is. 0:14:56.120 --> 0:14:58.080 I mean that is Gallon by the way, like unless 0:14:58.120 --> 0:14:59.680 you think those innings are going to quit to keep 0:14:59.720 --> 0:15:03.080 point get injured, he's but he's gonna be two. He's 0:15:03.080 --> 0:15:06.040 gonna have probably fifteen wins. I mean this is he's 0:15:06.040 --> 0:15:09.000 a great He's a safe points format type of player. 0:15:09.200 --> 0:15:12.440 But it's like balance of safety versus like crazy strikeouts. 0:15:12.760 --> 0:15:16.360 Elie Dela Cruz goes next Zach Gallon to the Welsh 0:15:16.240 --> 0:15:17.720 who you'll have him for like a month or two 0:15:17.720 --> 0:15:20.480 before he goes on the aislel Logan Webb at four 0:15:20.520 --> 0:15:24.880 oh five to Mctunda Spring took Yamamoto, Randy Rosa Rena 0:15:24.960 --> 0:15:27.160 to Chris Clegg at four oh seven, let's talk about 0:15:27.160 --> 0:15:29.240 a Rosea Raine. You got your outfielder here, now, a 0:15:29.320 --> 0:15:31.080 rose A Raina a little bit lower in the batting average, 0:15:31.080 --> 0:15:33.680 but power speed from a points league perspective still really 0:15:33.680 --> 0:15:34.960 goodbye at the stage, Yes. 0:15:35.360 --> 0:15:36.000 Yeah, I think so. 0:15:36.120 --> 0:15:37.880 I mean I was actually a little hurt because I 0:15:37.960 --> 0:15:40.200 was wanting one of those three starting pitchers that went 0:15:40.600 --> 0:15:42.800 right before me to go to give me my SP 0:15:42.880 --> 0:15:45.680 two in a pretty solid spot. But yeah, rose Arena 0:15:45.840 --> 0:15:47.680 is an alternative. I feel like he was the top 0:15:47.720 --> 0:15:50.600 bat there. You know, Machado was sitting around, but you know, 0:15:50.760 --> 0:15:53.560 having alsin rally already, felt like good to go ahead 0:15:53.560 --> 0:15:56.040 and get that outfielder out of the way. And yeah, 0:15:56.040 --> 0:15:57.920 I mean you mentioned the bag and average, but I 0:15:57.960 --> 0:16:00.920 still think in most points formats that Rose Raine is 0:16:00.920 --> 0:16:02.040 gonna play pretty well. 0:16:02.240 --> 0:16:04.680 Now you took him over Garcia and Trout who went 0:16:04.720 --> 0:16:07.720 after that? Are you fading, Mike Trout? We had a 0:16:07.720 --> 0:16:10.080 great discussion the other day with Scott Pianowski on the 0:16:10.120 --> 0:16:12.200 Fantasy Fest. If he missed it, go back. It's on 0:16:12.240 --> 0:16:15.440 a playlist on YouTube. You could see Pianowski's performance there, 0:16:15.680 --> 0:16:17.560 or you could just watch the whole thing straight through too. 0:16:17.960 --> 0:16:20.600 But he's been talking about fading Mike Trout, and you 0:16:20.640 --> 0:16:22.640 did as well. So can you talk about that for everybody? 0:16:22.720 --> 0:16:25.440 Why you took a Rose Arena over Garcia and Trout. 0:16:25.440 --> 0:16:27.000 What's the defining factor there for you? 0:16:27.080 --> 0:16:29.920 Well, the biggest downside with Trout is obviously the health 0:16:29.960 --> 0:16:32.960 that he has not stayed healthy the last several years, 0:16:33.000 --> 0:16:35.560 and we've seen the contact rates kind of deteriorate too. 0:16:35.680 --> 0:16:39.480 Obviously in a points league format more OBP type based, 0:16:39.520 --> 0:16:42.680 Trout's still gonna play, but it's been pretty tough to 0:16:42.760 --> 0:16:45.720 watch like him decline. And I didn't think we'd be 0:16:45.760 --> 0:16:49.640 saying that about Mike Trout, but here we are. The 0:16:49.680 --> 0:16:53.320 contact rates have deteriorated and hopefully those bounce back, and honestly, 0:16:53.800 --> 0:16:55.360 just don't think he can stay healthy. 0:16:55.440 --> 0:16:58.320 So he is a fade for me unless he falls 0:16:58.520 --> 0:16:58.880 very far. 0:16:59.080 --> 0:17:02.080 I think in one NFBC draft I did grab him, 0:17:02.080 --> 0:17:04.000 but he was like pick eighty and I was like 0:17:04.080 --> 0:17:06.040 baffled that he was there, and so I was like, Okay, 0:17:06.119 --> 0:17:08.480 like at this spot, I can probably justify it, but 0:17:08.960 --> 0:17:10.520 not in the top fifty. 0:17:10.720 --> 0:17:11.920 I can't wait to get back to you. Because you 0:17:12.000 --> 0:17:16.040 pulled the trigger so quickly on Welsh's favorite pitcher hashtag sarcasm. 0:17:16.080 --> 0:17:18.000 So we'll get back to you in a second. Garcia 0:17:18.200 --> 0:17:20.840 Trout Aaron Nola four ten, Royce lewis one of my 0:17:20.840 --> 0:17:23.080 favorites at four to eleven, and then you took Joe 0:17:23.080 --> 0:17:25.720 a Rico, Freddy Parolta, my dude, and then to start 0:17:25.720 --> 0:17:28.160 the fifth rond Max Freed. So you've got Castillo, Parolta, 0:17:28.240 --> 0:17:31.000 Max Freed. That is a formidable grouping. Here. Are you 0:17:31.040 --> 0:17:33.080 worried at all, Joe about the offense that you've gone 0:17:33.200 --> 0:17:35.480 three of five picks with the pitchers? 0:17:35.760 --> 0:17:38.800 No, Like I mentioned, Acunya is such a cushion. Now again, 0:17:38.960 --> 0:17:41.320 there is a little bit of worry because of some 0:17:41.359 --> 0:17:42.919 of the news over the last week or so, but 0:17:43.080 --> 0:17:45.000 I'm pretty confident he's still going to be alright, and 0:17:45.040 --> 0:17:46.399 he is still going to be at least like the 0:17:46.440 --> 0:17:48.760 equivalent of one and a half batters him and Alby's 0:17:48.760 --> 0:17:52.200 put together. I probably don't need any more starter starting 0:17:52.200 --> 0:17:53.399 pitching for the next couple of rounds. 0:17:53.400 --> 0:17:55.280 But I think I like the way I've constructed it 0:17:55.359 --> 0:17:56.280 so far, all. 0:17:56.240 --> 0:17:59.560 Right, So you're feeling good about that. In rotal formats. 0:17:59.560 --> 0:18:02.400 How does your approach change Joe potentially when you're looking 0:18:02.440 --> 0:18:03.800 at pitching and trying to figure that out. 0:18:04.160 --> 0:18:06.480 I don't know if i'd push him up quite so much. 0:18:06.520 --> 0:18:10.240 I tend to look for for later pitching for the bargain, 0:18:10.480 --> 0:18:12.320 the bargain bin kind of guys, But I don't know 0:18:12.320 --> 0:18:14.280 if I'd rely on that as much in a points league. 0:18:14.280 --> 0:18:16.240 I kind of do want those those anchors. 0:18:16.280 --> 0:18:18.159 So that's why, Like if if guys have seen my 0:18:18.560 --> 0:18:20.359 my drafts that I've done on stream this year, this 0:18:20.440 --> 0:18:21.800 is very uncharacteristic of me. 0:18:21.880 --> 0:18:24.679 But it's just the nature of the format much you. 0:18:24.640 --> 0:18:26.640 Can tell the truth. Welsh three you off? I mean, 0:18:26.760 --> 0:18:27.200 I blame you. 0:18:27.280 --> 0:18:28.720 I do that. He always throws me off. 0:18:28.840 --> 0:18:31.560 Yeah, I do that. Although your your Twitter or should 0:18:31.600 --> 0:18:33.320 I say x avatar is a picture of you in 0:18:33.359 --> 0:18:36.159 the Welsh? Can you describe that moment in top is that? 0:18:36.280 --> 0:18:36.960 Is that still us? 0:18:37.440 --> 0:18:39.720 I think it's either that or it was John Lackey 0:18:39.800 --> 0:18:42.280 or Rico Bronia. It's one of those three people. 0:18:42.560 --> 0:18:43.960 You should thought it was Gosman. 0:18:43.960 --> 0:18:46.160 I've always thought you had a bit of a gosmin 0:18:46.280 --> 0:18:46.760 esque type. 0:18:47.760 --> 0:18:52.800 That's so much better, like I am so not individualized anymore. 0:18:52.840 --> 0:18:53.600 Like everybody. 0:18:53.680 --> 0:18:55.800 I had someone be like, oh, doesn't Welsh look like 0:18:55.840 --> 0:18:58.280 Aaron Nola? Like I just look like all the pictures. 0:18:58.560 --> 0:19:02.000 It's crazy, Like, let's get to Gosman is fine, Nola 0:19:02.119 --> 0:19:05.200 is fine, Lackey is not Rico Bosco or whatever. 0:19:05.240 --> 0:19:07.240 That one picture I'm gonna show the guy. I wish 0:19:07.280 --> 0:19:08.760 I could. I wish I could send it to Maybe 0:19:08.800 --> 0:19:10.399 I can. Maybe I could send it to John and 0:19:10.440 --> 0:19:12.240 then have him upload it here to the stream. At 0:19:12.240 --> 0:19:14.840 some point you can add it over your face instead 0:19:14.880 --> 0:19:16.399 of yours. I don't know if that's I don't know 0:19:16.400 --> 0:19:17.040 if John. 0:19:17.440 --> 0:19:20.480 Spent a great time in Nashville together, because great friends 0:19:20.520 --> 0:19:21.400 do not do that. 0:19:21.600 --> 0:19:23.480 Do not do that. It's all right, It'll be back 0:19:23.520 --> 0:19:26.159 on leading off. I always have that, all right. So 0:19:26.440 --> 0:19:30.440 Machado goes at five oh two, Grayson Rodriguez terrific picture 0:19:30.440 --> 0:19:32.080 of five h three. We're all very excited about to 0:19:32.160 --> 0:19:35.240 hughes that one fool, Celex Framber, Valdez, Kyle Schwarber. And 0:19:35.240 --> 0:19:37.800 then you took Logan Gilbert, Chris Kleig. I know you're 0:19:37.880 --> 0:19:39.320 up for another pick, so I'm gonna come back to 0:19:39.359 --> 0:19:42.520 you in a second. Edwin Diaz, Josh Hater, Paul Goldschmid 0:19:42.600 --> 0:19:46.200 to the Welsh, than Cody Bellinger, Adley Rutchman. I took 0:19:46.240 --> 0:19:49.439 Bobby Miller and Alex Bregman back to back, so Glass 0:19:49.480 --> 0:19:52.080 now and Bregg and then Bobby Miller. I've got two 0:19:52.119 --> 0:19:55.359 fifths of the Dodger rotation, so again, good value on 0:19:55.400 --> 0:19:57.480 the board there. Snell was still on there. I passed 0:19:57.520 --> 0:19:59.280 on him. I don't care, I'm not doing it. Of course, 0:19:59.320 --> 0:20:01.600 I stayed on Brandon, took Alex Bregman. Our base was 0:20:01.600 --> 0:20:03.879 getting a little wonky there, so I decided to go 0:20:03.960 --> 0:20:06.800 that route. Onneo Cruz goes next year just before the 0:20:06.840 --> 0:20:09.560 Welsh at six o two, Nickel Nico Horner goes to 0:20:09.600 --> 0:20:12.080 Hammer Dan and then Cole Reagan's you got him so 0:20:12.520 --> 0:20:17.520 Welsh Strider, Gallon, Reagan's, Paul Goldschmidt, Luis Robert Alvarez. This 0:20:17.560 --> 0:20:19.439 is a pretty good start. I'm waiting for you to 0:20:19.440 --> 0:20:20.879 start hating your team, but I don't know if you 0:20:20.880 --> 0:20:21.240 can do that. 0:20:21.320 --> 0:20:23.679 This I'm not I mean in a points format. 0:20:23.800 --> 0:20:26.080 I know some people get really weird about like pitching, 0:20:26.160 --> 0:20:28.639 and I think I've always had a problem with points 0:20:28.680 --> 0:20:31.320 leagues is there isn't like a standard like everybody. There's 0:20:31.400 --> 0:20:34.000 like the CBS standard, and there's like the fan Track standard. 0:20:34.040 --> 0:20:37.560 There's so many different So some don't go negative against strikeouts, 0:20:37.560 --> 0:20:40.280 some do and not mix talking about it in general, 0:20:40.480 --> 0:20:44.960 and sometimes they'll stabilize pitching. But my baseline has always 0:20:45.000 --> 0:20:47.560 been that pitching is way more valuable in points leagues, 0:20:47.560 --> 0:20:50.119 and I want those top end guys I took. I 0:20:50.160 --> 0:20:53.640 think two like very I mean, Strider's the best, Gallon's 0:20:53.640 --> 0:20:55.000 give me a ton of innings, and now I got 0:20:55.000 --> 0:20:56.320 a big strikeout guy in Reagan's. 0:20:56.359 --> 0:20:58.600 I'm gonna stack pitching. That's what I'm gonna do in 0:20:58.640 --> 0:20:59.280 this format. 0:20:59.400 --> 0:21:01.040 So I'm not a free to go heavy on them 0:21:01.080 --> 0:21:03.800 because stolen base guys don't mean as much. A lot 0:21:03.880 --> 0:21:06.200 of the boring guys that play better in Points are 0:21:06.200 --> 0:21:07.960 actually a little bit further down the list. I don't 0:21:07.960 --> 0:21:09.560 want to say all their names, but you know, I mean, 0:21:09.560 --> 0:21:10.560 I'm probably not gonna get them. 0:21:10.560 --> 0:21:11.480 But a guy Lexander. 0:21:11.200 --> 0:21:14.280 Bogarts is like a classic, better point, probably even better 0:21:14.280 --> 0:21:17.560 Points format player than normal categories. So I think you 0:21:17.560 --> 0:21:19.679 have a little bit more wiggle room with hitters in Points. 0:21:19.680 --> 0:21:21.760 So I want to make sure, I have top end pitching, 0:21:22.200 --> 0:21:22.800 all right, So. 0:21:22.800 --> 0:21:25.840 Let's continue on here recapping the draft. So after you 0:21:26.000 --> 0:21:30.760 took Reagan's, Zach Efln, Bryan Reynolds, Chris Yelich to excuse me, 0:21:30.960 --> 0:21:34.200 Chris Yelich to Chris Klegg, it's a lot going on there, Logan, 0:21:34.240 --> 0:21:37.320 Gilbert Christian Yelich. Let's talk about these last two picks 0:21:37.359 --> 0:21:38.400 you made. Chris Well. 0:21:38.400 --> 0:21:40.479 Gilbert such a lock for Innians. 0:21:40.480 --> 0:21:42.840 He's throwing one hundred and eighty five and one hundred 0:21:42.840 --> 0:21:45.439 and ninety over the last two years. 0:21:45.840 --> 0:21:47.639 He's working on a new pitch. He's been throwing a 0:21:47.680 --> 0:21:48.720 cutter some, which is good. 0:21:48.800 --> 0:21:51.720 Kind of give him that bridge pitch between the fastball 0:21:52.160 --> 0:21:54.399 the slider, and you know, the splitter obviously is a 0:21:54.440 --> 0:21:57.760 really good pitch when it's on. So I think that 0:21:58.040 --> 0:22:01.399 when you look at Gilbert, maybe he's not the flashiest 0:22:01.400 --> 0:22:03.600 type guy, but I think in a points format where 0:22:03.600 --> 0:22:05.160 he eats a lot of innings, he is a lot 0:22:05.440 --> 0:22:08.720 very valuable, and so I really like the value there 0:22:08.760 --> 0:22:10.720 on him, especially with a lot of the top guys 0:22:10.720 --> 0:22:14.080 going off the board. So Jelich feels like a great 0:22:14.080 --> 0:22:16.959 points league play too, where he's great in Rodo obviously 0:22:17.080 --> 0:22:19.600 gives you power, gives you speed, but in a points 0:22:19.680 --> 0:22:22.320 league too, I think he does play up pretty substantially 0:22:22.359 --> 0:22:24.000 just due to his own base skills. 0:22:24.280 --> 0:22:27.000 And you just took another Twins pitcher. Now you've got 0:22:27.040 --> 0:22:29.199 two fifths of a rotation Joe Ryan straight out of 0:22:29.200 --> 0:22:33.040 Mike c and onto your team. Another great selection. Ryan's 0:22:33.040 --> 0:22:34.879 another one too that I don't think we've seen the 0:22:34.880 --> 0:22:36.879 best of him over a full season yet, but if 0:22:36.920 --> 0:22:38.359 he gives you that in twenty twenty four, it feels 0:22:38.400 --> 0:22:39.520 like a steal at seven oh six. 0:22:39.840 --> 0:22:42.800 Yep, he was injured a lot of last year, pitched 0:22:42.800 --> 0:22:45.680 through it and you could see the sizeable difference in 0:22:46.160 --> 0:22:48.840 the two halves basically when he was hurt and when 0:22:48.840 --> 0:22:51.040 he was healthy, and you know, when he's healthy, I 0:22:51.040 --> 0:22:53.240 think that we're going to get peak Joe Ryan again 0:22:53.320 --> 0:22:55.400 and I think it'd be a really good value at 0:22:55.400 --> 0:22:56.760 a headhead points league. 0:22:57.200 --> 0:22:59.879 All right, let's continue on here. So after yell Wich Cja, 0:23:00.359 --> 0:23:05.240 Joe Muskrove, Nolan Jones, Jazz Chisholm, Nolan Aernato and Joe Alrico, 0:23:05.359 --> 0:23:07.920 that's your selection, along with Matt McClain. So let's talk 0:23:07.920 --> 0:23:09.399 about these last two picks that you have. 0:23:10.359 --> 0:23:11.320 I wanted Chisholm. 0:23:11.600 --> 0:23:13.720 I got sniped on Jazz and I got sniped on 0:23:13.720 --> 0:23:15.679 on a couple of players actually in that round. But 0:23:16.320 --> 0:23:20.040 Aeronauto and McClain just both feel kind of undervalued. Matt 0:23:20.119 --> 0:23:22.320 McClain in a lot of drafts, is I mean, he's 0:23:22.359 --> 0:23:24.600 kind of been falling a little bit over the course 0:23:24.640 --> 0:23:26.480 of draft season. He started out as like an early 0:23:26.560 --> 0:23:28.919 round pick, but in the seventies at this point, I mean, 0:23:28.960 --> 0:23:30.800 I think we've kind of forgotten what he did last year, 0:23:30.800 --> 0:23:33.119 and now I think everything is a little more clear 0:23:33.920 --> 0:23:36.320 in Cincinnati with Marte not going to be around, so 0:23:37.080 --> 0:23:38.520 not that he was going to be somebody who suffered 0:23:38.560 --> 0:23:40.919 so much, but just boosts him up. I think I 0:23:41.000 --> 0:23:44.760 touched in Aeronauto is just pretty pretty reliable every single 0:23:44.800 --> 0:23:46.520 season in the seventies to get Aeronauto. 0:23:47.480 --> 0:23:48.840 I love. I love both of these picks. 0:23:49.040 --> 0:23:51.199 I'm really liking my team, but I tended like all 0:23:51.200 --> 0:23:53.080 of my teams after seven rounds, So we'll see it. 0:23:53.000 --> 0:23:56.320 Goes all right, Welsh, let's get you here recapping some 0:23:56.400 --> 0:23:58.000 picks because I'm up in the draft and I need 0:23:58.040 --> 0:23:59.040 to research a little here. 0:23:59.480 --> 0:24:01.600 Yes, sir, so where did we leave off. We live 0:24:01.600 --> 0:24:03.480 off at Matt McClain. We had Christian Walker. 0:24:03.720 --> 0:24:06.360 We're starting off the seventh round where Rico got Matt 0:24:06.400 --> 0:24:09.560 McClain Walker class A Bogarts. As soon as I said it, 0:24:09.920 --> 0:24:14.399 bam gone. Of course that one fool. Johan Durant, Joe Ryan, 0:24:14.840 --> 0:24:18.119 Justin Steele. Of course, because I can never have my 0:24:18.240 --> 0:24:22.040 bestie Trista Costas, I took Labor Torres daval Urie prez 0:24:22.280 --> 0:24:24.359 Lozardo for Joe Clig. 0:24:24.400 --> 0:24:26.480 Did you talk about Joe Ryan yet. 0:24:26.359 --> 0:24:29.639 Yeah, just briefly. Yeah, So I think that obviously the 0:24:29.720 --> 0:24:31.720 splits with the injuries. Last year he pitched through injury 0:24:31.720 --> 0:24:33.600 for a good bit. So yeah, I think healthy Joe 0:24:33.680 --> 0:24:34.920 Ryan is a good Joe Ryan. 0:24:35.119 --> 0:24:36.040 Let me ask you about real. 0:24:36.000 --> 0:24:38.159 Quick to Justin Steel while Joe's finishing up here, What 0:24:38.160 --> 0:24:41.200 do you think about Justin Steele overall this season, especially 0:24:41.240 --> 0:24:43.000 in the eighties. Do you think that's a little bit 0:24:43.000 --> 0:24:45.600 too obviously, like pitchers are getting pushed up a little 0:24:45.600 --> 0:24:47.600 bit in this format. Do you think that's the right 0:24:47.640 --> 0:24:48.399 spot for Steel? 0:24:48.480 --> 0:24:49.000 It's tough. 0:24:49.080 --> 0:24:51.720 I mean, I like Steal in a general sense, but 0:24:51.720 --> 0:24:53.720 at some point it feels like it's gonna kind of 0:24:53.720 --> 0:24:56.760 come crashing down. I use a two pitch guy without 0:24:56.960 --> 0:24:59.720 you know, really two good pitch like Strider makes it works. 0:24:59.720 --> 0:25:03.040 He's got two elite pitches. But I don't know. I mean, 0:25:03.080 --> 0:25:04.120 it's tough. 0:25:04.119 --> 0:25:06.360 I think that obviously, with the pitchers that have gone 0:25:06.359 --> 0:25:09.080 off the board, it's a fair spot for him. He's 0:25:09.119 --> 0:25:11.680 got a high floor for the most part. And then 0:25:11.800 --> 0:25:13.679 you obviously look at like Lozardo and Uri that went 0:25:13.720 --> 0:25:16.600 after him. Those guys have more risk. But at the 0:25:16.680 --> 0:25:19.040 end of the day, like Steal's a tough one for me. 0:25:20.000 --> 0:25:23.240 Yeah, I'm still a fan of Steel myself. I like him. 0:25:23.240 --> 0:25:25.240 I I don't think he has anything left to prove. 0:25:25.240 --> 0:25:27.280 I think last year was everything you wanted out of him. 0:25:27.640 --> 0:25:30.800 But after Steal, Tristan Cossas goes right before Welsh. That's 0:25:30.840 --> 0:25:32.920 got to burn Welsh just a little bit. Then you 0:25:33.040 --> 0:25:36.480 took Glaber Torres as a reaction, Camille Daval goes in 0:25:36.640 --> 0:25:38.920 Uri Perez. I doubled up on starting pitching because it 0:25:39.000 --> 0:25:40.679 is starting to fly off the board and the cliff 0:25:40.720 --> 0:25:43.399 is coming quickly here. So I took Lizardo and ten 0:25:43.480 --> 0:25:46.160 Or Bibby. So I've got glassnow. Miller, Lozardo, Biby. That's 0:25:46.200 --> 0:25:51.560 my four. Still got Bregman, al Tuove Olsen and Judge offensively, 0:25:51.560 --> 0:25:53.320 but I need to hit that offense. We come back 0:25:53.440 --> 0:25:56.200 when it came back around in round eight after Bibby, 0:25:56.240 --> 0:25:59.640 Dylan Cees at eight oh two, at eight oh three, 0:25:59.680 --> 0:26:03.280 and then you took Evan Carter, Carter over Langford Welsh. 0:26:03.320 --> 0:26:05.040 I'm surprised here point. 0:26:05.080 --> 0:26:06.919 I mean again this we're going back to points. Like, 0:26:07.400 --> 0:26:09.560 he's not going to strike out, He's gonna get tons, 0:26:09.640 --> 0:26:11.440 he makes tons of contact, he's gonna. 0:26:11.200 --> 0:26:12.000 Get high in the order. 0:26:12.080 --> 0:26:13.520 Even if he were to move to like a two, 0:26:13.520 --> 0:26:15.880 he's gonna score runs. I don't think he's gonna steal 0:26:15.880 --> 0:26:20.600 a bunch of bases. Langford probably even keel here. But 0:26:20.800 --> 0:26:23.480 like the thing I like about Carter's I know he's 0:26:23.480 --> 0:26:25.120 not going to strike out, and I know he's gonna 0:26:25.119 --> 0:26:26.760 have a ton of hits, so he plays up in 0:26:26.760 --> 0:26:30.359 this format. But I one thousand percent wanted Dylan Seas. 0:26:30.359 --> 0:26:33.560 I'm gonna be a Dylan Seats truther. As far as 0:26:33.600 --> 0:26:36.520 him moving up, going to San Diego, digging into his 0:26:36.560 --> 0:26:38.359 profile a whole bunch last year, I mean, there's the 0:26:38.359 --> 0:26:41.560 definite warning signs with the Velo going down. Also pretty 0:26:41.560 --> 0:26:44.439 distinctive difference between like release points like the slide the 0:26:44.440 --> 0:26:47.960 slider fastball. That's like the big fix has got to 0:26:48.160 --> 0:26:51.040 get into there, because there was pretty distinctive differences in 0:26:51.080 --> 0:26:53.000 release points and they both got hit so much harder. 0:26:53.000 --> 0:26:55.280 But I'm hopeful that the Padres are going to fix 0:26:55.320 --> 0:26:58.560 that with better ballpark factor, with better offensive support. So 0:26:58.680 --> 0:27:01.440 I freaking love that pick, and I definitely wanted him 0:27:01.480 --> 0:27:02.280 as mass before. 0:27:02.720 --> 0:27:06.920 Okay, so after Carter Riise, ol Iglesias Katel, Marte, Will 0:27:07.000 --> 0:27:09.440 Smith to Clegg, we'll get to your second pick in 0:27:09.520 --> 0:27:11.280 just a second. Blake's now finally off the board at 0:27:11.280 --> 0:27:13.880 eight O eight, Joe Rico, do you think that's about 0:27:13.920 --> 0:27:16.520 right for Blake Sneill now? As he continues to draft 0:27:16.840 --> 0:27:18.280 drop in drafts, I should say. 0:27:19.920 --> 0:27:23.200 I don't even I took him myself in the eighth 0:27:23.320 --> 0:27:25.320 round of a twelve team Roto league. 0:27:25.119 --> 0:27:25.479 The other day. 0:27:25.520 --> 0:27:29.040 I think it was like eighty sixth overall. I like it, Okay, 0:27:29.119 --> 0:27:31.239 I don't love it. It just felt kind of right at 0:27:31.280 --> 0:27:34.200 that point. But I'm worried that we're gonna see him 0:27:34.240 --> 0:27:36.520 miss all of April at this point, I don't know 0:27:36.680 --> 0:27:38.320 when when it's gonna stop. 0:27:38.400 --> 0:27:39.560 It's madness, it's been. 0:27:39.800 --> 0:27:41.840 He's the rate that we're not gonna have either of 0:27:41.880 --> 0:27:44.240 the ragning Cy young winners start on opening day. I 0:27:44.280 --> 0:27:46.680 saw some status the first time in a very long time. 0:27:47.200 --> 0:27:48.320 One of them is I even gonna be on a 0:27:48.320 --> 0:27:50.359 team it looks like on opening day. So it is 0:27:50.400 --> 0:27:52.199 a risk drafting him for sure, But I think this 0:27:52.280 --> 0:27:54.600 is probably about the range where you do dive in, 0:27:54.680 --> 0:27:55.800 especially in a points league. 0:27:56.080 --> 0:27:58.600 That was a very depressing statistic. Thanks for sharing to 0:27:58.880 --> 0:27:59.840 appreciate bringing that to this. 0:28:00.560 --> 0:28:00.960 What I'm here? 0:28:01.640 --> 0:28:05.240 What a bummer? Well, Treris next at eight on nine, 0:28:05.280 --> 0:28:08.400 then Yandi Diez, Jordan Romano, you took a closer. Here 0:28:08.400 --> 0:28:11.360 we are starting two, so here we go. Some closers 0:28:11.359 --> 0:28:12.720 have started to go off the board in the last 0:28:12.760 --> 0:28:15.880 couple of rounds, Munyos and say us Azuki. Sazuki feels 0:28:15.880 --> 0:28:17.720 like a good point lea player to me as well, Joe. 0:28:17.720 --> 0:28:20.399 So let's discuss this and the pivot point for you 0:28:20.480 --> 0:28:22.840 of when you take closers. Because you just took one. 0:28:22.640 --> 0:28:26.280 It's because there are relief pitcher designations on the roster. 0:28:26.400 --> 0:28:28.680 If it was just straight up pitcher. Then I probably 0:28:28.680 --> 0:28:30.760 would have waited longer. But they do start, they are 0:28:30.800 --> 0:28:32.639 starting to go, and I did want to lock in 0:28:32.680 --> 0:28:35.800 at least one guy that I really love, and Muno's 0:28:35.920 --> 0:28:39.320 I think is the top three or five talent pitcher 0:28:39.400 --> 0:28:42.920 in baseball. He's just he's not in bullpen sense, not 0:28:42.960 --> 0:28:45.080 in all of baseball, I should say, But I'm just 0:28:45.080 --> 0:28:46.320 in love with the guy. And like I said, I 0:28:46.360 --> 0:28:49.040 just wanted to lock in at least one of those 0:28:49.720 --> 0:28:51.080 of those lockdown closers. 0:28:51.120 --> 0:28:52.400 So I'm happy I got Munos there. 0:28:52.400 --> 0:28:54.720 Well, I would tell you cheat code time it didn't 0:28:54.760 --> 0:28:56.880 put it there. I wish I could adjust it, But 0:28:57.040 --> 0:28:58.800 you want to talk about cheat codes. We do have 0:28:58.840 --> 0:29:00.680 two our pace spots. Am I going to do with 0:29:00.720 --> 0:29:04.520 OURP spots in a points league? Give me starting pitchers 0:29:04.520 --> 0:29:07.120 that can qualify at RP And I took Michael King. 0:29:07.240 --> 0:29:09.400 It didn't throw him there, so I'm probably not going 0:29:09.480 --> 0:29:11.960 to get the extra juice for it. But that is 0:29:12.000 --> 0:29:14.200 what I would do in a points league is push 0:29:14.280 --> 0:29:16.680 up guys like Michael King. Look in your own league 0:29:16.720 --> 0:29:19.760 settings and see who else. Nick Pavetta, Ryan Peppio, those 0:29:19.760 --> 0:29:22.360 would be players I would be picking probably over quite. 0:29:22.160 --> 0:29:23.960 A bit of a few, quite a few closers. And 0:29:24.000 --> 0:29:26.440 you took Reagans too, right, you took Reagan's. Isn't he 0:29:26.520 --> 0:29:27.280 RP eligible? 0:29:27.360 --> 0:29:28.120 He is? He is? 0:29:28.240 --> 0:29:30.760 Oh my gosh, you're right, he's so much more value. 0:29:30.880 --> 0:29:31.680 I can't move him. 0:29:31.720 --> 0:29:33.720 He's getting moved. They're getting moved there. But oh god, 0:29:34.040 --> 0:29:35.000 this is the best feelings. 0:29:35.320 --> 0:29:36.840 Just shut up. I should just shut up. 0:29:37.000 --> 0:29:38.520 First feeling on the planet right here. 0:29:38.840 --> 0:29:41.120 Using the draft wizard is I can go and click 0:29:41.160 --> 0:29:42.840 the little arrows and I can put them right to 0:29:42.840 --> 0:29:43.520 where I want them. 0:29:43.560 --> 0:29:46.000 Cole Reagan's, Michael King, my RP spots. 0:29:47.800 --> 0:29:49.920 You know, Chris Clegg, you've officially been the first person 0:29:50.000 --> 0:29:53.280 to somehow get Welsh to like his draft in the middle. 0:29:53.520 --> 0:29:54.920 I'll get the worst grade today. 0:29:55.400 --> 0:29:58.240 Yeah, I don't see how, because I do agree that 0:29:58.280 --> 0:29:59.920 is one of those things that you should always show 0:30:00.160 --> 0:30:02.280 be pushing the envelope, trying to figure out like what 0:30:02.320 --> 0:30:05.000 are the rules, where the situations, what are the qualifications 0:30:05.000 --> 0:30:06.320 and all your leagues and how can you push the 0:30:06.400 --> 0:30:09.280 envelope to maximize your productivity? And that's just an easy 0:30:09.280 --> 0:30:11.160 one in points leagues. So if you're new to Points, leagues, 0:30:11.200 --> 0:30:12.320 and you know, I know some people are like, this 0:30:12.360 --> 0:30:14.160 is something we all know. Well, some people are playing 0:30:14.200 --> 0:30:16.360 fans in baseball for the first time, still watching this today, 0:30:16.400 --> 0:30:18.640 And if you are playing in that style league, you 0:30:18.720 --> 0:30:20.800 have to circle those guys because they are huge advantages 0:30:20.840 --> 0:30:22.640 in those two start weeks, especially when you have top 0:30:22.680 --> 0:30:25.160 tier guys like King and Reagan's Welsh. You just didn't 0:30:25.160 --> 0:30:27.440 get two guys who qualified RP. You got the best 0:30:27.440 --> 0:30:28.440 two guys in my game. 0:30:28.760 --> 0:30:31.240 Yeah, and that's the advantage because like I don't like 0:30:31.280 --> 0:30:33.080 to play I know some people like to play saves 0:30:33.280 --> 0:30:36.160 because you you know, from a weekly standpoint, you could 0:30:36.160 --> 0:30:38.560 have one week where it all stacks together, but from 0:30:38.600 --> 0:30:40.960 an overall perspective, they're going to score so much less. 0:30:41.160 --> 0:30:43.120 And these are the cheat code type of things that 0:30:43.160 --> 0:30:45.000 you should do. So I got the best guys. I 0:30:45.040 --> 0:30:48.640 got to continue on with it. I'm sacrificing a little 0:30:48.680 --> 0:30:51.840 bit of a hitting on that side. But yeah, Reagans 0:30:51.840 --> 0:30:54.680 and Michael King as rps, those should be they should 0:30:54.720 --> 0:30:57.960 bump up inherently like I took call Reagans around sixty six. 0:30:58.120 --> 0:31:00.160 They should inherently be bumping up in no matter what. 0:31:00.520 --> 0:31:04.400 Both probably top one easily. Cole Reagan's maybe a top 0:31:04.440 --> 0:31:06.760 fifty pick. Michael King should be a top one hundred 0:31:06.760 --> 0:31:08.520 pick in these formats when you can move them there. 0:31:08.760 --> 0:31:10.520 If you're watching us live and I know you are, 0:31:10.560 --> 0:31:12.040 could you just heard me say that?

We've got everything here for you. 0:31:30.800 --> 0:31:32.960 So after Suzuki at nine oh one, Chris Sale at 0:31:33.000 --> 0:31:35.280 nine oh two, Josh Low Garret Cole finally off the 0:31:35.280 --> 0:31:36.800 board at nine oh one, I don't know that's enough 0:31:36.800 --> 0:31:39.840 of a discount for me. I'm still taking Michael King. Sorry, 0:31:39.840 --> 0:31:43.800 I'm just doing that first. Joe Newell then took Josh Naylor, 0:31:43.880 --> 0:31:46.120 one of my favorites, a little early there. But this 0:31:46.160 --> 0:31:47.920 is what happens when you start talking guys up in 0:31:47.960 --> 0:31:51.920 the YouTube channel too much. Alexis Diaz to Clegg, you 0:31:52.040 --> 0:31:55.960 got your closer there, Spencer Steer, Spencer, Torklsen, all the 0:31:56.000 --> 0:31:58.680 Spencers in a row. Nice Spencer run. We don't get 0:31:58.680 --> 0:32:00.640 that all the time, Michael King to the Welsh, As 0:32:00.640 --> 0:32:03.000 he said, then Hassi Young, Kim Wyatt, Langford, and I 0:32:03.080 --> 0:32:05.880 doubled up an outfielders Jordan Walker and Nick Castis because 0:32:05.880 --> 0:32:08.040 I feel like that cliff is coming soon too. When 0:32:08.040 --> 0:32:10.560 you're at the turn, you got to anticipate the cliffs, 0:32:10.760 --> 0:32:12.280 and I feel like so far I've done a pretty 0:32:12.280 --> 0:32:15.440 good job of that. After Castiano, Jorgeesz, Hilaire Bednar, and 0:32:15.440 --> 0:32:17.760 then you took a steady pitcher Welsh In, Chris Bassett, 0:32:17.880 --> 0:32:22.400 Bryson Stott, Dansby Swanson, Shane Bieber to Clegg. Are you 0:32:22.480 --> 0:32:26.600 a Bieber believer, Clegg, because right now you've got him 0:32:26.600 --> 0:32:28.600 as your fourth starting pitcher. That could be a huge 0:32:28.640 --> 0:32:29.800 win for you in this format. 0:32:29.840 --> 0:32:32.600 I'm not sure I'm fully a believer or believer yet, 0:32:32.680 --> 0:32:35.920 but a believer. He has shown at least a couple 0:32:35.880 --> 0:32:38.280 of things this spring that have encouraged me. The Vilo 0:32:38.320 --> 0:32:40.760 has been back up a little bit with health. You know, 0:32:40.760 --> 0:32:42.960 he's always thrown innings, which I think is big in 0:32:42.960 --> 0:32:46.120 this kind of format. And there's obviously the potential, Like 0:32:46.120 --> 0:32:49.240 we've seen him be like an elite guy before, so 0:32:49.520 --> 0:32:50.920 you know, there's no reason to think that he can't 0:32:50.920 --> 0:32:53.040 get back to that. He spent the off season at 0:32:53.120 --> 0:32:56.800 drive Line, so the results look good. I hope that 0:32:56.840 --> 0:32:59.200 it'll carry into the season obviously, and that he will 0:32:59.200 --> 0:33:02.000 throw a lot of innings. But we shall see what 0:33:02.080 --> 0:33:03.760 happens there. Just looking at the board, it was like, 0:33:03.840 --> 0:33:07.200 oh man, there's a couple debated him or another starting pitcher. 0:33:07.640 --> 0:33:08.520 It's still on the board. 0:33:08.560 --> 0:33:11.040 But you know, I was like, okay, we will We'll 0:33:11.040 --> 0:33:12.800 settle on Bieber and hope the upsides there. 0:33:12.840 --> 0:33:15.560 We got to do a video, Joe, a nice little 0:33:15.680 --> 0:33:18.040 verity video. Yeah, you're gonna do it where it goes, Honey, 0:33:18.640 --> 0:33:21.120 he went to drive Line. 0:33:22.680 --> 0:33:24.120 We need to do an off season video where you 0:33:24.120 --> 0:33:26.239 and I go to drive Line and just video us 0:33:26.320 --> 0:33:26.720 doing stuff. 0:33:26.880 --> 0:33:28.320 I think that's a great idea, like and. 0:33:28.720 --> 0:33:30.800 Like maybe some drills and stuff like that, but I 0:33:30.800 --> 0:33:34.560 think there's actually one you know here like drinking energy 0:33:34.640 --> 0:33:36.840 drinks or something like that. There's one by you. Oh 0:33:36.840 --> 0:33:37.160 that's it. 0:33:37.200 --> 0:33:38.920 We're going I mean, yeah, there is one. I mean, 0:33:39.040 --> 0:33:40.400 come on down, you should come on down. 0:33:40.520 --> 0:33:42.800 Let's go, come on down. All right, let's go, We're 0:33:42.800 --> 0:33:44.800 doing it. There you go off season fun with Joe 0:33:44.800 --> 0:33:47.200 in the Welsh so bieber Seawald, Evan Phillips here is 0:33:47.240 --> 0:33:49.080 more closer. So this is gonna hurt me later. I 0:33:49.080 --> 0:33:51.680 can tell you that Sonny Gray, Carlos Rodon, Vinnie pas 0:33:51.760 --> 0:33:53.840 Quentino to Joe Rico at the end of the tenth round, 0:33:54.120 --> 0:33:57.080 Hunter Green at the eleventh so Passquentino coming back from injury, 0:33:57.160 --> 0:34:00.560 Joe Hunter Green. Certainly the velosies there, but we've got 0:34:00.600 --> 0:34:02.280 to stop giving up home runs. What do you think 0:34:02.280 --> 0:34:05.000 about Pascorentino at Hunter Green in twenty twenty four hundred. 0:34:05.000 --> 0:34:07.880 Green's risky, but as my fourth starting pitcher, I'll take 0:34:07.880 --> 0:34:10.360 a chance, especially in the format like this for strikeouts 0:34:10.400 --> 0:34:13.120 play up. It is risky, don't get me wrong, But 0:34:13.200 --> 0:34:15.520 I do love me some Hunter Green. And then with Benny, 0:34:15.560 --> 0:34:18.560 I haven't really understood this drastic discount we've been getting 0:34:18.560 --> 0:34:21.640 on him kind of regardless of format. In a lot 0:34:21.680 --> 0:34:23.840 of drafts, he's been going in the one sixties, one 0:34:23.920 --> 0:34:25.759 seventies of a lot of drafts, and last year he 0:34:25.840 --> 0:34:28.680 was eighty ninety picks more expensive. He got hurt, he 0:34:28.719 --> 0:34:32.120 had surgery, he's healthy now. I think it's, you know, 0:34:32.400 --> 0:34:34.560 wheels up, he's ready to take off. I don't see 0:34:34.600 --> 0:34:36.640 why he shouldn't be even the top one hundred pick 0:34:36.640 --> 0:34:38.520 in a lot of cases. So I'm pretty happy to 0:34:38.520 --> 0:34:38.959 get him. 0:34:38.880 --> 0:34:42.960 Here, all right, So let's continue on there after one 0:34:44.400 --> 0:34:47.160 l excuse me, eleven oh one, pardon me, Tioskcaarrnandez goes 0:34:47.200 --> 0:34:50.440 next eleven oh two, then George Springer, so Yegerbaumbs continues 0:34:50.480 --> 0:34:54.200 to add offense there than Josh Young at eleven oh four, 0:34:55.200 --> 0:34:58.480 Merril Kelly at eleven oh five, Jackson Holiday to Clegg. Okay, 0:34:58.520 --> 0:35:02.080 here we go prospect time. So Carter's gone, Langford's gone, 0:35:02.200 --> 0:35:04.720 Jackson Holiday the third guy. Do you think that's right, Cleig? 0:35:04.719 --> 0:35:05.799 Should that be the order? 0:35:05.960 --> 0:35:06.360 I think so? 0:35:06.560 --> 0:35:09.200 I mean, we know there are we know at least 0:35:09.200 --> 0:35:11.960 Carter's breaking camp, and I'm about ninety nine percent confident 0:35:11.960 --> 0:35:14.759 in Langford and Holiday breaking camp, and I do think 0:35:14.760 --> 0:35:19.440 that's the right order for redraft purposes. Holiday is a 0:35:19.480 --> 0:35:21.680 really good points play, though, like his own base skills 0:35:21.680 --> 0:35:24.560 are incredible, so that's really going to allow him to 0:35:24.560 --> 0:35:27.120 play up a lot in the points league format. In 0:35:27.120 --> 0:35:29.200 my opinion, he'll be on base a lot, have opportunity 0:35:29.239 --> 0:35:31.719 to steal. And I think he's got some underrated power too. 0:35:31.719 --> 0:35:34.359 People kind of look at the home run output last year, 0:35:35.000 --> 0:35:36.920 but he had a ninety one mile an hour average TV, 0:35:37.239 --> 0:35:40.200 which is really really good for a nineteen year old 0:35:40.200 --> 0:35:42.800 that is his size. So I think Holiday certainly taps 0:35:42.800 --> 0:35:45.000 into more and he's going to be the Orioles starting 0:35:45.000 --> 0:35:46.960 second basement for the entire season. 0:35:47.000 --> 0:35:48.760 Like I love that pick. I'm big on Holiday. 0:35:49.080 --> 0:35:51.600 Do you think because I think this, do you think 0:35:51.600 --> 0:35:54.960 that Holiday can outscore Churio in a points league format? 0:35:55.000 --> 0:35:58.160 Because I really think your Holiday is built for this format. Yeah, yeah, 0:35:58.160 --> 0:35:58.840 one hundred percent. 0:35:58.920 --> 0:36:01.560 Churio, I kind of thing's going to struggle with some 0:36:01.600 --> 0:36:04.239 bagging average downside in his first first year. I mean 0:36:04.400 --> 0:36:07.239 there's some swinging miss stuff against breaking balls, which you know, 0:36:07.280 --> 0:36:09.799 I think could hurt him. So, ye know, ultimately I 0:36:09.840 --> 0:36:14.000 think that this is the right play for the points 0:36:14.040 --> 0:36:14.399 for masts. 0:36:14.400 --> 0:36:15.360 Take Holiday over Cheerio. 0:36:15.880 --> 0:36:18.560 You know, Pete Fairbanks goes next, then Bareley over to 0:36:18.560 --> 0:36:22.160 eleven oh eight to mctunda Louise Arise. Well you've done 0:36:22.200 --> 0:36:24.520 it a couple of times now, so this whole like 0:36:24.600 --> 0:36:26.080 I hate Arise thing. 0:36:26.120 --> 0:36:29.120 But this is the format though. No, no, no, no, you know. 0:36:29.080 --> 0:36:30.720 It's still weak sauce. It's still weak sauce. 0:36:31.400 --> 0:36:33.480 Well, okay, I'm sorry. I'm not keeping to my hate 0:36:33.640 --> 0:36:35.080 I'm not following my hate lane. 0:36:35.120 --> 0:36:36.640 This is where Louise Rise. 0:36:36.480 --> 0:36:38.359 Is for it point, Well, I want to I want 0:36:38.360 --> 0:36:39.960 to double up on your picks of the second lane. 0:36:40.000 --> 0:36:42.439 Thomas at eleven to ten, then Riley Green, so you pace. 0:36:42.600 --> 0:36:44.520 You passed on Thomas and Green, which I think is 0:36:44.560 --> 0:36:47.200 surprising for Louis Arise. Then I took a closer Ryan 0:36:47.239 --> 0:36:49.799 Helsley and Christian and Carnossio Strand is my corner. Guy 0:36:50.040 --> 0:36:52.920 Hoskins goes next. Uh so I'm glad I locked in 0:36:52.960 --> 0:36:56.800 Ceees there, Jimenez. Then Verlanders. So you got another picture 0:36:56.800 --> 0:36:58.560 here in Verlander because you have these open spots now 0:36:58.560 --> 0:37:00.640 at sp because you have that, you are so starting 0:37:00.680 --> 0:37:04.080 picture is now your playground, but a rise over guys 0:37:04.120 --> 0:37:06.759 like Thomas and Riley Green. I guess my question is this, 0:37:07.360 --> 0:37:10.160 you know what his limitations are. Yes, he's gonna get 0:37:10.160 --> 0:37:11.640 a lot of hits. Yes he will get on base, 0:37:11.760 --> 0:37:14.000 and yes he's gonna be a good Points League player, 0:37:14.239 --> 0:37:15.840 but he also doesn't have the kind of ability to 0:37:16.360 --> 0:37:18.399 win you a week where I feel like a big 0:37:18.440 --> 0:37:20.040 week from a guy like Thomas or Green, they might 0:37:20.040 --> 0:37:20.640 be able to do that. 0:37:21.160 --> 0:37:23.600 Yeah, I see what you're saying. My outfield was full. 0:37:23.960 --> 0:37:25.560 That was also one of the reasons why I don't 0:37:25.600 --> 0:37:28.120 I don't feel pressed to take any of these outfielders. 0:37:28.680 --> 0:37:31.440 I kind of disagree that a Rise can't win you 0:37:31.480 --> 0:37:33.160 a week. I know what you're getting at, Like, a 0:37:33.239 --> 0:37:36.239 Rise isn't gonna have a three four homer week, you know, 0:37:36.280 --> 0:37:38.839 with five stolen bases and blah blah blah. But he 0:37:38.880 --> 0:37:41.560 also could have like eight more hits than any other 0:37:41.560 --> 0:37:43.080 player in a given week, So like, I kind of 0:37:43.120 --> 0:37:45.880 think he can in that respect. He's a little boring, 0:37:46.320 --> 0:37:48.640 but he's a top one hundred player in Points Like 0:37:48.680 --> 0:37:51.160 that's just that I don't think there's any argument about that. 0:37:51.280 --> 0:37:53.640 Or maybe it's very minimal because he doesn't strike out 0:37:53.640 --> 0:37:55.759 a whole bunch and he gets tons and tons of hits. 0:37:55.800 --> 0:37:58.360 So that was really what this was based around, is 0:37:58.400 --> 0:38:01.240 like a core core Point League. 0:38:01.000 --> 0:38:04.320 Player okay, very good, continuing it was a good explanation. 0:38:04.400 --> 0:38:06.680 I still disagree, but I love you anyway. Anthony Vopi 0:38:06.719 --> 0:38:09.759 goes next at twelve oh five and Anthony Santandre at 0:38:09.800 --> 0:38:12.120 twelve oh six. Clegg, you took Ian happen. I know 0:38:12.160 --> 0:38:13.799 you've got another pick coming up here, so we'll jump 0:38:13.840 --> 0:38:16.360 to yan here Diaz at twelve oh eight, Max Munsey, 0:38:16.520 --> 0:38:19.680 Marcelo Zuna, Zach Gelloff. I'm so mad A Jaeger bombs 0:38:19.719 --> 0:38:21.279 took Gelloff. I thought he would last all the way 0:38:21.320 --> 0:38:24.400 back to me. He did not. Estrada to Joe Arico 0:38:24.520 --> 0:38:29.080 at twelve twelve and then to start thirteen Masataka Yoshida. 0:38:28.600 --> 0:38:30.759 So Helen was almost like, I almost took by the way. 0:38:30.800 --> 0:38:32.719 Just want that I almost took Gelloff over a rise. 0:38:32.760 --> 0:38:34.160 Well now I feel better that he wouldn't have made 0:38:34.200 --> 0:38:38.000 it back to me anyway. So Joe Yoshida a good 0:38:38.000 --> 0:38:39.799 guy in this format Astrada. What do you make of 0:38:39.920 --> 0:38:42.040 Estrada in the San Francisco Giants offense? 0:38:42.160 --> 0:38:43.680 I think with the new manager in town, we're gonna 0:38:43.680 --> 0:38:45.799 see him stealing a lot more. This is something I've 0:38:45.800 --> 0:38:48.480 heard about, talked a lot goes back all the way 0:38:48.480 --> 0:38:49.040 to Arizona. 0:38:49.040 --> 0:38:50.640 We were at first with Arizona. It was one of 0:38:50.680 --> 0:38:51.920 the panels and they. 0:38:53.280 --> 0:38:54.960 Forgot I think it was Jason Collett who was the 0:38:54.960 --> 0:38:57.160 one who was the one who was leading the panel, 0:38:57.560 --> 0:38:59.799 and he rarely talked me into Estrada. And I've been 0:38:59.800 --> 0:39:02.160 talking into him a lot throughout the offseason, just digging 0:39:02.160 --> 0:39:03.960 into him. I think he can be like a twenty 0:39:04.040 --> 0:39:06.560 thirty guy who hits two seventy for you as a 0:39:06.560 --> 0:39:10.200 middle infield spot here it's I mean, I don't know. 0:39:10.280 --> 0:39:12.399 I didn't need him necessarily. I think I've maybe gone 0:39:12.440 --> 0:39:14.680 a little bit too heavy on the offensive side going back. 0:39:14.719 --> 0:39:16.279 I might have taken one or two more pitchers in 0:39:16.320 --> 0:39:19.040 the mix. But I can't complain Estrada is one of 0:39:19.080 --> 0:39:20.120 my favorite players this year. 0:39:20.520 --> 0:39:22.359 Well you're allowed to complain. This is a safe place. 0:39:22.360 --> 0:39:25.520 By the way, don't ever let Jason Kleett recommend scooters 0:39:25.560 --> 0:39:26.880 to you. He can recommend. 0:39:27.080 --> 0:39:29.280 Oh yeah, no he can't. Hey, Joe, I have a surprise. 0:39:29.320 --> 0:39:30.320 I have a real quick surprise. 0:39:30.440 --> 0:39:31.160 I was not planned. 0:39:31.200 --> 0:39:32.320 So you know how you're talking about. You got to 0:39:32.320 --> 0:39:34.480 come out here for drive line. I like you to 0:39:34.480 --> 0:39:35.439 close your eyes real quick. 0:39:36.400 --> 0:39:38.480 I was posting a show, and I'm just real quick. 0:39:38.719 --> 0:39:40.640 I can't I'm not even looking because I'm picking. 0:39:40.680 --> 0:39:42.759 Okay, so I got your next draft pick right here. 0:39:43.120 --> 0:39:45.399 Look who just showed up at the. 0:39:45.600 --> 0:39:49.480 Oh no, get in the shot. Here we go. Cousin 0:39:49.560 --> 0:39:53.320 Donnie from leading off, My real cousin Donnie from the show, 0:39:53.719 --> 0:39:56.440 right here on the program live. I gotta pause the 0:39:56.480 --> 0:39:58.520 draft because this is a beautiful thing. Look at him, 0:39:58.560 --> 0:40:01.200 he's he's working on his swing. Clearly. Cousin Donnie was 0:40:01.239 --> 0:40:03.759 a drive line. He's also the host of Shooting Straight 0:40:03.800 --> 0:40:06.320 with Donnie c. Because everyone in my family has a podcast. 0:40:06.320 --> 0:40:08.799 That's just what we do. Now. Uh so I didn't 0:40:08.800 --> 0:40:09.239 plan this. 0:40:09.640 --> 0:40:10.799 Donnie Literar just walked in. 0:40:11.040 --> 0:40:12.600 I want to know, how did cousin Donnie get in 0:40:12.600 --> 0:40:14.800 your house? Did you leave the barking? 0:40:14.880 --> 0:40:16.840 I thought my family was home. You just you just 0:40:16.880 --> 0:40:17.160 get in? 0:40:17.239 --> 0:40:19.000 Well, your your family is so you. 0:40:18.920 --> 0:40:21.440 Guys going live. I was two three minutes away. I 0:40:21.440 --> 0:40:24.040 was like, what he hello. 0:40:24.480 --> 0:40:26.160 We gotta cut this. We have to cut this for 0:40:26.239 --> 0:40:26.800 social media. 0:40:26.920 --> 0:40:29.919 We got to be Joe's family is in my house 0:40:30.000 --> 0:40:30.319 right now. 0:40:30.320 --> 0:40:31.279 That's all that I want to say. 0:40:31.239 --> 0:40:33.960 It's a beautiful thing. You gotta duck down those you 0:40:34.000 --> 0:40:35.839 can get in the shot there, that's the thing. Now, 0:40:35.920 --> 0:40:39.319 Cousin Donnie, uh, here's a question for you. You live 0:40:39.320 --> 0:40:42.040 in Arizona, you live next to the Welsh. You live 0:40:42.040 --> 0:40:44.200 in Arizona. You live next to the Welsh now five 0:40:44.200 --> 0:40:47.000 minutes away. Here's the big question for you. Has Welsh 0:40:47.080 --> 0:40:48.800 taken you to a spring training game yet? 0:40:49.040 --> 0:40:49.399 Not yet? 0:40:49.400 --> 0:40:50.160 We talked about it. 0:40:50.280 --> 0:40:52.080 We did talk about it, and it's a it was 0:40:52.120 --> 0:40:52.919 a it was a plan. 0:40:53.200 --> 0:40:55.720 Yankees are coming out though. Well, well, here's the question. 0:40:56.080 --> 0:40:58.600 The spring training is almost over. So what happens is 0:40:58.600 --> 0:41:00.560 a little too close to my lips when he turns? 0:41:00.800 --> 0:41:02.799 Yeah, yeah, it was a little weird. 0:41:02.920 --> 0:41:04.919 I don't know if that's a problem or not. It depends. Well, 0:41:04.960 --> 0:41:07.439 she's a very passionate fellow. But here's the question. Spring 0:41:07.480 --> 0:41:09.399 training is almost over. Well, you got to you gotta 0:41:09.400 --> 0:41:11.360 lock in this plan here for cousin Donnie. 0:41:11.040 --> 0:41:13.480 I know we'll do it. I gotta have a day off. 0:41:13.480 --> 0:41:15.359 I've been doing quite a few shows. By the way, 0:41:15.360 --> 0:41:17.120 if you guys haven't seen it, all. 0:41:17.160 --> 0:41:18.719 Right, I want him to take it. He's got to 0:41:18.719 --> 0:41:20.720 take it out to the backfields. Get you some pictures 0:41:20.719 --> 0:41:23.320 with some players, and the best part is cousin Donnie 0:41:23.360 --> 0:41:24.880 has no idea who any of them are, so it 0:41:24.880 --> 0:41:27.920 could be show Tani has no idea who they are. 0:41:27.960 --> 0:41:30.680 It's so beautiful. So there you go, everybody, Cousin Donnie 0:41:31.160 --> 0:41:34.400 making up everybody on the show you like next to 0:41:34.400 --> 0:41:37.080 where Jimmy Kimmel character. I like it. All right, let's 0:41:37.120 --> 0:41:40.120 continue on here now that I'll call you later. I'll 0:41:40.160 --> 0:41:41.960 call you after the show. All right, let's get into 0:41:41.960 --> 0:41:43.719 the rest of the things. Can't make this up, folks. 0:41:43.760 --> 0:41:46.520 That's why live is the best. Jaeger bombs Clay Holmes 0:41:46.920 --> 0:41:50.399 at thirteen oh two ten or Scott Jackson cheerioh Joe 0:41:50.520 --> 0:41:54.320 Newle selects so William Domson thirteen oh FIVEA paraitis to 0:41:54.520 --> 0:41:58.640 cleg so cleg hap paraitis two bats. You're starting to 0:41:58.680 --> 0:42:01.000 build that offense a little bit here. Do you like 0:42:01.080 --> 0:42:03.200 the way it's taking shape here? Because it feels like 0:42:03.239 --> 0:42:05.239 a lot of guys that are you know, even even 0:42:05.280 --> 0:42:07.480 Freddy Freeman, like these are guys that maybe the power 0:42:07.520 --> 0:42:09.200 ceiling is around that thirty range for a guy like 0:42:09.239 --> 0:42:11.520 Austin Riley too, maybe into the forties. If things really 0:42:11.560 --> 0:42:13.759 break right. He was thirty seven last year, But in 0:42:13.840 --> 0:42:17.520 your opinion, do you have enough power here in that 0:42:17.960 --> 0:42:20.920 week to week format? Two really make some differences. 0:42:21.960 --> 0:42:22.600 I guess we'll see. 0:42:22.680 --> 0:42:25.160 Perettaz is probably a regression candidate, but the fact that 0:42:25.680 --> 0:42:27.560 he had second base eligibility kind of did it for 0:42:27.680 --> 0:42:30.600 me because second base dries up quick. I just moved 0:42:30.680 --> 0:42:32.960 Jackson Holiday over to short and I was like, Okay, Perettis, 0:42:33.480 --> 0:42:37.160 my opinion, was the best second baseman left surprisingly second 0:42:37.200 --> 0:42:40.680 based eligible there, but having three three first, second, and 0:42:40.840 --> 0:42:43.359 third was big. I think that you know, the power 0:42:43.400 --> 0:42:45.839 will be enough to sustain, and he's a better points 0:42:45.920 --> 0:42:47.800 league play in my opinion than he is for a 0:42:48.880 --> 0:42:51.680 roto type league, as well as happ Ian Hat plays 0:42:51.719 --> 0:42:54.480 really well in this format too, So I like hap 0:42:54.760 --> 0:42:57.040 a good bit and I think he's still a little 0:42:57.040 --> 0:42:57.759 bit underrated, So. 0:42:58.160 --> 0:42:59.680 I like both those picks. We'll see. 0:42:59.719 --> 0:43:02.080 Yeah, power may not fully be there, but I do 0:43:02.200 --> 0:43:03.960 think some of these guys do play up depending on 0:43:04.320 --> 0:43:05.400 how the scoring settings are. 0:43:06.320 --> 0:43:09.360 All Right, I just took the top lift here, and 0:43:09.520 --> 0:43:12.040 another starting pitcher will get to my picks in the second. First, 0:43:12.080 --> 0:43:14.800 I want to get to Welsh's picks here after partis 0:43:14.880 --> 0:43:17.799 you Darvish grade value there at thirteen oh seven, Brendanimo 0:43:17.840 --> 0:43:20.880 at thirteen oh eight the Welsh you took, Jose Burrios, 0:43:20.960 --> 0:43:25.479 then Cedric Mullens, Craig Kimbrel, Nathaniel Lowe to me Hunter Brown, 0:43:25.480 --> 0:43:27.080 who's having a really good spring. Man if he can 0:43:27.160 --> 0:43:30.200 bounce back, my pitching staff feels a little dynasty ish 0:43:30.320 --> 0:43:31.759 right now. I don't know how I feel about that, 0:43:31.960 --> 0:43:34.799 but we'll see how it goes. Wilson Contreras goes next 0:43:34.840 --> 0:43:36.960 at fourteen oh two a story Ruiz to Hammer Dan 0:43:37.040 --> 0:43:40.320 and then the Burger to Welsh, ol Burios and Burger Welsh, 0:43:40.400 --> 0:43:41.200 let's talk about him. 0:43:41.360 --> 0:43:44.200 I have absolutely, by the way, credit to me for 0:43:44.360 --> 0:43:46.600 not being as distracted as I possibly could be for 0:43:46.719 --> 0:43:49.080 this draft. Having your family come into my house, into 0:43:49.160 --> 0:43:50.600 my studio, I thought, my wife, now that you. 0:43:50.600 --> 0:43:53.240 Know my family can come into your house at any moment. 0:43:53.120 --> 0:43:55.400 Well, cousin Donnie has become a cousin like he is 0:43:55.480 --> 0:43:56.800 cousin Donnie in my household. 0:43:56.840 --> 0:43:58.719 My kids love him everything like that. But the door 0:43:58.800 --> 0:44:00.360 started opening and I was I don't I was like, 0:44:00.440 --> 0:44:01.920 get out of here, I'm doing the show. And it 0:44:01.960 --> 0:44:03.560 was Donnie, and I was like, who is out of 0:44:03.600 --> 0:44:03.919 my house? 0:44:04.400 --> 0:44:08.120 Oh, credit, You're okay? Kids are not okay? Cousin Donnie's okay, okay. 0:44:08.000 --> 0:44:11.239 Yeah, Brios. I filled out my final pitching spot. No 0:44:11.360 --> 0:44:14.640 relief pitchers, all starters, and we're talking like every single 0:44:14.680 --> 0:44:18.080 starting pitcher is like top forty. So that is exactly 0:44:18.160 --> 0:44:20.759 what I'm looking for in a points format that's locked in. 0:44:21.080 --> 0:44:23.120 I gotta focus on hitting. I don't know why Jake 0:44:23.160 --> 0:44:26.560 Berger is still available. It's a big power bat in 0:44:26.600 --> 0:44:29.759 a points league format, tons of contact. I love that 0:44:29.920 --> 0:44:31.680 pick as well. And I needed third base. I still 0:44:31.680 --> 0:44:34.560 need to fill out shortstop. I'm pretty happy. I'm filling 0:44:34.600 --> 0:44:37.719 out this team pretty well. It'll probably hate me because 0:44:37.760 --> 0:44:39.719 I'm so happy. You're not gonna go You're not going 0:44:39.760 --> 0:44:42.280 to be so happy and then also get first place. 0:44:42.400 --> 0:44:45.200 Well, look, yeah finished last last time, Bogman was twelve. 0:44:45.280 --> 0:44:47.399 You or eleven, so you didn't finish last. But here's 0:44:47.440 --> 0:44:49.520 where's the thing. I think you're gonna do very well 0:44:49.560 --> 0:44:52.240 in this. And the second thing is as we continue 0:44:52.280 --> 0:44:55.360 to you know, look through these teams here, if you 0:44:55.480 --> 0:44:58.680 actually win this, maybe you don't draft anymore. Like maybe 0:44:58.719 --> 0:45:00.280 you leave on a high note the rest of this season. 0:45:00.360 --> 0:45:04.080 Did you think I could take off a day Donnie 0:45:04.080 --> 0:45:05.640 to a game. I'll go to Gon Donnie with a 0:45:05.719 --> 0:45:09.239 game maybe. I think still reeling from that draft, if 0:45:09.239 --> 0:45:10.960 you guys want to go and see it. It is 0:45:11.040 --> 0:45:15.520 the final of the Fantasy Fast He he kicked Kelly 0:45:15.640 --> 0:45:17.759 out of her position, wouldn't give it back. 0:45:18.040 --> 0:45:20.080 Then he's like, I'm gonna do this, and then he 0:45:20.800 --> 0:45:23.360 stunk and he carried it over to it l it 0:45:23.480 --> 0:45:23.920 is it is. 0:45:24.200 --> 0:45:26.440 But he did take George Kirby and Meryl Kelly, so 0:45:26.560 --> 0:45:29.120 he did. He'd actually get Kelly and Kirby on there, 0:45:29.120 --> 0:45:30.080 which was pretty amazing. 0:45:30.200 --> 0:45:31.120 Greatest thing all the time. 0:45:31.280 --> 0:45:33.520 That was that was worth everything, all right. Uh So, 0:45:33.640 --> 0:45:38.160 continuing on Jake Berger than Mitch Keller, Imanaga, Christian Xavier Clegg. 0:45:38.280 --> 0:45:40.840 He was in my queue. I chose Brown over Xavier. 0:45:40.920 --> 0:45:42.200 Would you have that same ranking? 0:45:42.480 --> 0:45:44.480 Yeah, I think I would prefer Brown. Just you know, 0:45:44.680 --> 0:45:47.400 we're hoping that Javier bounces back. I was honestly hoping 0:45:47.480 --> 0:45:49.800 for show to Amanaga, but he went picked before me. 0:45:50.080 --> 0:45:51.520 Yeah, but that was brutal. 0:45:51.880 --> 0:45:54.439 So I settled for Javier, who I do think bounces back. 0:45:55.120 --> 0:45:58.520 But maybe you know, to what extent, I'm not totally sure, 0:45:58.880 --> 0:46:00.279 but I had to get some starters, so I need 0:46:00.320 --> 0:46:02.160 another starting pitcher, so as my SP five. 0:46:02.719 --> 0:46:03.600 It's good with that there. 0:46:04.200 --> 0:46:05.640 And what are you doing here with your next pick 0:46:05.680 --> 0:46:06.440 to fifteen oh six? 0:46:06.560 --> 0:46:08.160 I need some power you mentioned it, so I took 0:46:08.200 --> 0:46:12.319 Eloy Jimenez, who has been healthy this spring. I think 0:46:12.400 --> 0:46:14.279 Hilt's going to be the big factor. I think there's 0:46:14.640 --> 0:46:16.960 thirty home run pop there pretty easily. You know, he's 0:46:17.000 --> 0:46:17.800 just got to stay healthy. 0:46:18.160 --> 0:46:21.600 That's right. I mean that is on thousand percent where 0:46:21.640 --> 0:46:22.720 I was going with this next. 0:46:22.600 --> 0:46:25.000 Pick, So you know, it's amazing. Well, this feature that 0:46:25.120 --> 0:46:27.759 exists on Draft Wizard that I really don't use very often, 0:46:27.800 --> 0:46:30.359 which is kicking the player to like two more rounds away. 0:46:30.600 --> 0:46:31.279 Yeah, I do like that. 0:46:31.440 --> 0:46:33.560 I've never used that more in the last two weeks 0:46:33.560 --> 0:46:38.000 than I have since call Snell, Montgomery Williams, like everybody 0:46:38.040 --> 0:46:39.320 like I don't want to see them. And that's so 0:46:39.400 --> 0:46:42.160 great because even though like the software is recommending guys 0:46:42.200 --> 0:46:43.960 to you, you just like I don't want to see 0:46:43.960 --> 0:46:46.919 this guy number one for two rounds or or ever again, 0:46:47.080 --> 0:46:49.120 kind of like Kevin McAllister and home alone, was like, 0:46:49.160 --> 0:46:50.520 I never want to see any of you jerks again. 0:46:50.600 --> 0:46:52.680 Like you can literally do that to players, which I 0:46:52.840 --> 0:46:55.120 love in the middle because it frees up the board 0:46:55.160 --> 0:46:56.759 for me where it's like, stop showing me this player. 0:46:56.840 --> 0:46:59.880 I know you're meanwll draft Wizard, but right now I 0:47:00.000 --> 0:47:01.640 I have bigger fish to fry and I don't want 0:47:01.680 --> 0:47:02.560 to take Gara Cole. 0:47:03.160 --> 0:47:04.560 Now. I completely agree with that feature. 0:47:04.560 --> 0:47:06.560 It is really nice, especially if it's guys like You're 0:47:06.600 --> 0:47:08.360 just like, I'm not into that guy, Like, that's not 0:47:08.480 --> 0:47:11.000 gonna I'm not gonna do I'm just not into it exactly. 0:47:11.080 --> 0:47:13.840 All Right, let's see who Joe Rico's into. So Clegg 0:47:14.000 --> 0:47:18.200 took Javier than Chas McCormick, Nolan Gorman, Jordan Montgomery, Nadyavaldi. 0:47:18.440 --> 0:47:21.959 You went double off pitchers Joe Pavetta and Brian Wu. 0:47:22.160 --> 0:47:23.640 So how do you feel about these two selections? 0:47:23.800 --> 0:47:24.120 I like it. 0:47:24.200 --> 0:47:26.000 So Pavetta is one of those guys that you can 0:47:26.080 --> 0:47:29.600 slot into the RP spot, which I really like just 0:47:29.880 --> 0:47:32.440 watching him in the second half of the season. I've 0:47:32.480 --> 0:47:34.440 made the joke before that if his name was anything 0:47:34.480 --> 0:47:36.880 other than Nick Pavetta, he'd be like a top fifty 0:47:36.920 --> 0:47:39.440 pick this year, but because we've been hurt so many times, 0:47:39.680 --> 0:47:42.440 we're not as interested, but still still pretty damn interested. 0:47:42.480 --> 0:47:43.200 And then Brian Wu. 0:47:43.320 --> 0:47:46.160 I mean, all the smart people I know are pushing 0:47:46.200 --> 0:47:48.560 Brian Wo up into like the top forty. I don't 0:47:48.560 --> 0:47:50.480 know if I'm quite that high on him, but at 0:47:50.520 --> 0:47:52.279 this point where I'm just filling out my staff, I 0:47:52.320 --> 0:47:52.839 really like him. 0:47:52.840 --> 0:47:55.240 There is my last starting piece. 0:47:55.760 --> 0:47:57.759 All right, well I'm up, so take over the draft 0:47:57.800 --> 0:47:59.560 board from the second pick in. 0:47:59.600 --> 0:48:02.359 This round, all right, letting me get it back over 0:48:02.480 --> 0:48:02.719 to it. 0:48:02.880 --> 0:48:05.879 So we had Brian Wu, Edward of Rodriguez, Brandon fot 0:48:06.040 --> 0:48:08.920 couple back to back Arizona Diamondbacks, which I love, I 0:48:09.360 --> 0:48:12.760 really like. Fought here too, Tristan McKenzie, Sean Murphy, Cleig 0:48:12.840 --> 0:48:15.719 you really you destroyed me with the Eloy Jimenez pick, 0:48:16.239 --> 0:48:19.120 Jared Duran, we had Bryce Miller. 0:48:19.200 --> 0:48:21.160 I took Edward Julian again. 0:48:21.320 --> 0:48:24.640 Edward Julian is kind of interesting in this format, just because, yes, 0:48:24.760 --> 0:48:28.960 hisk percentage was really high, but his actual like swing 0:48:29.239 --> 0:48:32.759 percentage is low, so he's not chasing stuff. Problem and 0:48:32.800 --> 0:48:34.840 I've said this a whole bunch. His problem is he 0:48:34.920 --> 0:48:37.920 gets really two patient early counts selective and then he 0:48:37.960 --> 0:48:39.920 gets aggressive later counts and he's going to kind of 0:48:39.960 --> 0:48:42.120 alter that a bit. But I like him if he 0:48:42.160 --> 0:48:44.240 can hit. At the top of the lineup Walker Bueler, 0:48:44.320 --> 0:48:48.640 Carlos Korea and then Joey Catcher and relief Pitcher. 0:48:48.760 --> 0:48:50.920 Who are you, Ross, I don't know. This is what 0:48:50.960 --> 0:48:52.360 happens when you get to the top of the mountain. 0:48:52.360 --> 0:48:55.000 There's nowhere to go but down, So obviously, you know, 0:48:55.520 --> 0:48:57.520 just look at the board and the value. That's where 0:48:57.560 --> 0:48:59.439 I see things. I still like rawling in the middle 0:48:59.440 --> 0:49:01.839 of that lineup, and you have to start the two 0:49:01.880 --> 0:49:03.840 relievers here. So when you have to start the two relievers, 0:49:03.880 --> 0:49:05.920 I'm gonna make sure that I get two guys that 0:49:06.080 --> 0:49:08.839 have the job you took Julian for me, that's who 0:49:08.880 --> 0:49:11.560 I wanted, and Meenez and Duran were also I wanted. 0:49:11.600 --> 0:49:15.200 So Mike Cue got obliterated there, so I feel like Welsh, 0:49:15.280 --> 0:49:17.759 Now I'm in the middle rounds and I'm unhappy. So 0:49:18.000 --> 0:49:20.360 this is what happens. The worm has turned here and 0:49:20.480 --> 0:49:22.920 this is the worst part. It's my format, like this 0:49:23.080 --> 0:49:27.000 is my favorite format. So gross, just just gross, all right, Welsh, 0:49:27.080 --> 0:49:29.040 Let's get to your pick you went catcher too, So 0:49:29.160 --> 0:49:32.879 after Azule alec Baum, Gavin Williams in sixteen oh three 0:49:33.280 --> 0:49:35.840 and then Welsh you took a catcher to sal Perez 0:49:36.360 --> 0:49:38.560 and then Francisco Alvarez goes off though, so there you 0:49:38.640 --> 0:49:42.040 go once again at the turn. I'm anticipating the runs, 0:49:42.600 --> 0:49:45.080 and so far I haven't been wrong yet, but. 0:49:45.280 --> 0:49:48.760 I mean one eighty something sal Prez, Now what Salad 0:49:49.000 --> 0:49:51.080 doesn't help me here? I almost thought I might wait 0:49:51.080 --> 0:49:52.799 a little bit and go Gabby Moreno, because I think 0:49:53.000 --> 0:49:54.880 Moreno is going to be kind of like the Luis 0:49:54.960 --> 0:49:56.919 a Rise type of thing, doesn't strike out a bunch, 0:49:56.960 --> 0:49:57.799 gets a bunch of hits. 0:49:58.160 --> 0:50:00.279 I sacrificed the strikeouts. 0:49:59.719 --> 0:50:02.920 From for the big power numbers because he can, you know, 0:50:03.080 --> 0:50:06.040 go between first and DH and catching and it's going 0:50:06.120 --> 0:50:08.960 to be RBI's hopefully some runs big power, So this 0:50:09.080 --> 0:50:11.120 is just a big power points play. I don't care 0:50:11.160 --> 0:50:15.200 about high end catchers, but again, one i'd consider Romuto 0:50:15.239 --> 0:50:16.920 when he falls to one thirty one to forty. I'll 0:50:16.920 --> 0:50:19.400 consider Salve when he falls to like one eighty for 0:50:19.520 --> 0:50:20.560 the big power all right. 0:50:20.840 --> 0:50:22.880 By the way, we still don't have JD. Martinez signed 0:50:22.880 --> 0:50:25.480 to either this is crazy, Like I don't. I mean, 0:50:25.520 --> 0:50:27.400 this is We're in the middle of March. We're in 0:50:27.440 --> 0:50:29.240 the middle of March. We still don't have these signis 0:50:29.400 --> 0:50:32.880 Brian Hayes at sixteen oh six Ryan Peppio to Chris Clegg. 0:50:33.840 --> 0:50:37.840 Any fear here with this Pepio selection of him not 0:50:38.200 --> 0:50:40.840 making it through the entire season in this rotation depending 0:50:40.880 --> 0:50:43.240 on either performance or also some of the other pieces 0:50:43.280 --> 0:50:44.600 that might come back at some point in time and 0:50:44.640 --> 0:50:45.120 push him out. 0:50:45.280 --> 0:50:47.680 Yeah, I mean, the Rays are gonna do race things. 0:50:47.760 --> 0:50:50.759 So you are never really confident in any of these 0:50:50.800 --> 0:50:53.160 guys and their rotation because you never know what could happen. 0:50:53.239 --> 0:50:55.560 But yeah, I do think that obviously he was a 0:50:55.600 --> 0:50:57.279 big piece of the and one of the reasons they 0:50:57.320 --> 0:51:00.279 traded Glass now, so you think that obviously they'd be 0:51:00.360 --> 0:51:04.760 confident in that. So we'll see, you know, McClanahan, Rasmussen 0:51:04.840 --> 0:51:07.640 and Springs all probably later in the season if they 0:51:07.719 --> 0:51:11.359 do come back. But the RP eligibility was nice as well. 0:51:11.400 --> 0:51:11.879 Shit done. 0:51:12.000 --> 0:51:14.840 That's the key, the SPRP and the closers. There was 0:51:14.880 --> 0:51:17.320 really no closers left. Need to fill that ARP spot, 0:51:17.440 --> 0:51:19.200 So you know, I'll take the chance to get one 0:51:19.280 --> 0:51:21.560 hundred and thirty hundred forty innings out of Pepi, out 0:51:21.560 --> 0:51:24.279 of that arpeace spot and my two picks there. 0:51:24.360 --> 0:51:26.680 It took the catcher and the last closer. I felt 0:51:26.840 --> 0:51:30.840 decent about, so Peppio Morell, then Trevor Story, Gabriel Marino, 0:51:31.160 --> 0:51:35.520 jonah Heim, Logan, o'happies, all the closes, all the catcher's gone, 0:51:35.640 --> 0:51:38.640 all the closer's gone, basically Ohappy And Matt Chapman to you, 0:51:38.800 --> 0:51:42.360 Joe Rico, another San Francisco giant for you, loving that 0:51:42.480 --> 0:51:44.360 Giants offense. But o'happy is a guy that you have 0:51:44.440 --> 0:51:46.520 big expectations for in the power. What do you think 0:51:46.520 --> 0:51:47.359 the ceiling is for him? 0:51:47.400 --> 0:51:49.719 In twenty four Well, I recorded my Catcher preview this 0:51:49.840 --> 0:51:52.680 morning with Bubba and he was talking up ohap. You 0:51:52.760 --> 0:51:54.839 know how much Bubba loves catchers, and he was going 0:51:54.880 --> 0:51:56.160 on and on about Ohapi, and he was. 0:51:56.160 --> 0:51:58.680 Making he's number five overall for him or not five 0:51:58.719 --> 0:51:59.640 five overall catchers. 0:52:00.440 --> 0:52:02.200 It might be by overall on though, let's stick with that, 0:52:02.320 --> 0:52:03.040 just five overall. 0:52:03.080 --> 0:52:05.160 Complain Yeah, yeah, you might be right there though. 0:52:05.800 --> 0:52:08.000 He was saying he's his absolute favorite catcher to draft. 0:52:08.080 --> 0:52:11.600 I think we're looking at twenty five probably twenty five homers. 0:52:11.600 --> 0:52:14.600 You might chip in a Steeler two batting average actually 0:52:14.680 --> 0:52:17.080 might be better than people are expecting as well, and 0:52:17.200 --> 0:52:19.200 to get him close to pick two hundred, you know, 0:52:19.640 --> 0:52:22.160 one catcher formats. I kind of tend to wait until 0:52:22.320 --> 0:52:25.240 like the last round, but that value is just staring 0:52:25.320 --> 0:52:26.759 me at the face there with him and then with 0:52:27.000 --> 0:52:30.360 Matt Chapman. I feel pretty comfortable now that he has signed. 0:52:30.400 --> 0:52:31.879 It was kind of we knew he was going to sign, 0:52:31.920 --> 0:52:33.560 but now that he's actually signed, you just have that 0:52:34.440 --> 0:52:36.520 comfortability that we don't have with some guys that we've 0:52:36.560 --> 0:52:39.560 mentioned already on the show. But going into San Francisco, 0:52:39.600 --> 0:52:41.399 I think we're going to see a pounce back from him. 0:52:41.480 --> 0:52:44.960 Twenty five ish home runs, eighty runs, eighty RBIs. I 0:52:45.040 --> 0:52:47.279 think that he's still kind of been undervalued. Not that 0:52:47.360 --> 0:52:49.080 I'm a big Chapman guy, but I just think he's 0:52:49.120 --> 0:52:50.799 kind of still undervalued even where I got him. 0:52:51.320 --> 0:52:54.000 Yeah, I'm still mad about the Julian pick by you, Welsh, 0:52:54.040 --> 0:52:56.600 I just want to tell you, and still very frustrating, 0:52:56.760 --> 0:52:57.680 very frustrated about that. 0:52:57.760 --> 0:53:00.520 Well, I just got just back to backs and Cleig 0:53:00.600 --> 0:53:03.840 took Candelario, who was my backup, and I wanted Ezekiel 0:53:03.920 --> 0:53:06.920 Tovar worse than anything on the planet, and he went. 0:53:06.920 --> 0:53:09.560 You're a Tovar guy. Now you've come over to the 0:53:10.120 --> 0:53:11.160 team with me. Yeah. 0:53:11.239 --> 0:53:13.560 No, I'm backing off a little bit on like not 0:53:13.800 --> 0:53:17.000 being into him. The great Spring should be considered, but 0:53:17.120 --> 0:53:18.719 he doesn't. Is not gonna be a big strikeout guy. 0:53:19.080 --> 0:53:21.960 You consider Colorado, he made all the sins of the world. 0:53:21.800 --> 0:53:23.960 And I don't have a shortstop. And now I still 0:53:24.000 --> 0:53:25.600 don't have a shortstop. I went with Jung Huli. 0:53:25.800 --> 0:53:28.440 This is another uh Luisa Rise type of pick a 0:53:28.520 --> 0:53:30.200 guy that is going to lead off for this team 0:53:30.480 --> 0:53:31.239 a bunch of hits. 0:53:31.320 --> 0:53:33.720 I don't really care too much about the counting stats. 0:53:33.840 --> 0:53:36.320 Obviously I had like big power, but I'm hoping like 0:53:36.440 --> 0:53:38.759 one hundred runs with everybody hitting behind him and all 0:53:38.800 --> 0:53:40.680 the hits in the world. So that was that from 0:53:40.719 --> 0:53:43.200 my util spot, and I have got to get back 0:53:43.239 --> 0:53:46.920 to the drawing board on shortstop because I messed up. 0:53:47.080 --> 0:53:47.799 I messed up. 0:53:47.719 --> 0:53:49.680 After well, let me tell you, Tovar was the guy. 0:53:49.719 --> 0:53:52.280 I didn't have a shortstop either, so I was hoping 0:53:52.360 --> 0:53:53.840 and waiting for Tovar to get to me. 0:53:53.960 --> 0:53:54.279 He did not. 0:53:54.440 --> 0:53:56.640 Polanco didn't get to me either. So just a recap. 0:53:56.920 --> 0:53:59.919 After Chapman went, Buxton went seventeen oh two, then James 0:54:00.040 --> 0:54:04.239 out and Kyle Harrison, TJ Friedel Clegg took Candelario, then 0:54:04.360 --> 0:54:10.000 Tovar Polonko, Junghuli, Aaron Savali goes next, and then Chalmer 0:54:10.120 --> 0:54:14.280 took JD. Martinez. I took Brandon Lau and Michael Garcia, 0:54:14.360 --> 0:54:16.279 guy that we've hyped up quite a bit here who 0:54:16.600 --> 0:54:18.040 looks like he's moving up to the top of this 0:54:18.200 --> 0:54:20.680 order for Kansas City. That's a good thing. So I 0:54:20.840 --> 0:54:23.800 was able to get my shortstop finally, But Lee was 0:54:23.840 --> 0:54:25.920 the guy I wanted for my util So this whole 0:54:26.000 --> 0:54:28.319 round once again, that's the bad thing. Sometimes when you're 0:54:28.360 --> 0:54:29.400 on the turn. I think this is what happened to 0:54:29.440 --> 0:54:31.520 Bogma at twelve two, is it? Sometimes you know you 0:54:31.600 --> 0:54:34.160 got that cue and things look good, and then it's 0:54:34.200 --> 0:54:35.719 like four or five picks, and then three of the 0:54:35.800 --> 0:54:37.399 guys you want go and all of a sudden you're 0:54:37.400 --> 0:54:38.799 back to the drawing board and you're on the clock. 0:54:38.840 --> 0:54:41.240 It's rough. Alex Lang goes next, and Code I Sanga 0:54:41.360 --> 0:54:44.279 finally goes Brian Beao to you, well, so you went 0:54:44.360 --> 0:54:46.239 back to the pitching well, which makes sense here taking 0:54:46.280 --> 0:54:48.160 the best players available. I got no problem with that. 0:54:48.360 --> 0:54:49.719 Yeah, that's all that I did here. Like I said, 0:54:49.719 --> 0:54:51.879 I don't like the only I have a util spot 0:54:51.960 --> 0:54:53.400 to fill out. But I think we're kind of in 0:54:53.480 --> 0:54:56.320 like a general range of a bunch of different players. 0:54:56.600 --> 0:54:59.200 I need the shortstop. They all suck, so I. 0:54:59.200 --> 0:55:01.200 Didn't feel like I needed to go grab one, so 0:55:01.239 --> 0:55:03.719 I'll just I'm obviously gonna just be bottom of the 0:55:03.760 --> 0:55:06.600 barrel at shortstop, so why not just take the best players? 0:55:06.600 --> 0:55:08.520 And Brandon but Beeo is a guy that you know 0:55:08.800 --> 0:55:10.800 have on the bench as a starter in a points format. 0:55:11.200 --> 0:55:12.200 I want starters. 0:55:12.360 --> 0:55:12.520 You know. 0:55:12.600 --> 0:55:15.600 We did the Building the Perfect Bench on Fantasy Fest 0:55:15.640 --> 0:55:18.000 with Chris Towers, and he had talked about on the 0:55:18.040 --> 0:55:21.800 sixth bench having probably a four to two pitcher to 0:55:21.920 --> 0:55:24.880 hit a ratio maybe three to three. I think this 0:55:25.120 --> 0:55:27.680 is four to two or five to six that I'm 0:55:27.719 --> 0:55:29.320 gonna do because I'm most likely going to want to 0:55:29.400 --> 0:55:32.640 churn out overall starts. Hopefully I don't have injured guys. 0:55:32.680 --> 0:55:35.520 We have two util position flexibility. I want most of 0:55:35.560 --> 0:55:37.359 my bench to be starters. So I'm gonna start taking 0:55:37.400 --> 0:55:38.560 the best available guys there. 0:55:38.920 --> 0:55:40.520 What are your favorite guys from a recent show? Is 0:55:40.560 --> 0:55:42.840 still out there at shortstop? Welsh from the Los Angeles 0:55:42.880 --> 0:55:43.720 Angels of Anaheim. 0:55:43.960 --> 0:55:45.880 Yeah, but that's what I'm saying, Like we have those guys. 0:55:46.520 --> 0:55:47.799 Those guys are kind of all out there. 0:55:47.840 --> 0:55:52.360 I'm not like Tovar was so clearly the best shortstop. 0:55:52.560 --> 0:55:54.719 Oh yeah, you're sitting there now. It's just like a 0:55:54.760 --> 0:55:57.399 whole bunch of guys. I do like Neto. I also 0:55:57.520 --> 0:56:00.839 kind of like ring Gifo, but you know, Tommy Edmond 0:56:00.920 --> 0:56:01.319 like just. 0:56:01.760 --> 0:56:04.520 Took him from it. Springy stole them right from under you. 0:56:04.880 --> 0:56:08.200 So after let's say you to Beyo. Then Kwan went 0:56:08.280 --> 0:56:12.480 to Kybert Ruiz. Taylor Ward, one of my least favorite things. 0:56:12.520 --> 0:56:14.799 Welsh always knows that I'm never a big Taylor Ward guy. 0:56:14.920 --> 0:56:18.279 So Clegg sell me on Taylor Ward Candelario we all like, 0:56:18.680 --> 0:56:21.840 but Ward, uh, sell me on him? And this Angel's 0:56:21.880 --> 0:56:22.399 lineup here. 0:56:22.840 --> 0:56:24.600 Well, I can't sell you on the Angels lineup, but 0:56:24.680 --> 0:56:26.720 I can at least try to sell you on Ward, 0:56:26.840 --> 0:56:29.560 who I think does play up in this format. You know, 0:56:29.640 --> 0:56:32.719 he's more of an obp type guy. He gets on base, 0:56:33.040 --> 0:56:34.920 he's gonna give you a couple steals, and he's got 0:56:35.000 --> 0:56:37.600 power as well, So you know, the unfortunate thing is 0:56:37.680 --> 0:56:39.600 the counting stats may not be there from a running 0:56:39.640 --> 0:56:44.200 RBI standpoint, because the lineup is it's it's not great. 0:56:44.280 --> 0:56:46.720 But I actually do like Ward a bit as a target, 0:56:46.719 --> 0:56:49.359 as a bounce back if he's fully healthy. I don't 0:56:49.360 --> 0:56:51.080 see a reason why he can't be a twenty twenty 0:56:51.120 --> 0:56:53.400 five home run guy who gets on base at a 0:56:53.480 --> 0:56:56.520 pretty reasonable clip here. So even the util spot, like 0:56:56.600 --> 0:56:58.560 I needed a little boost, and I just feel like 0:56:58.640 --> 0:57:01.680 of all the bats left, he was probably the at 0:57:01.800 --> 0:57:04.320 least what I thought was best available. So you know, 0:57:04.400 --> 0:57:06.600 I like him in this spot in a points league, 0:57:06.600 --> 0:57:08.520 I think it is plays a little better than a 0:57:08.640 --> 0:57:09.240 roto league. 0:57:09.680 --> 0:57:11.440 Let's go to a question from the chat here from 0:57:11.560 --> 0:57:14.520 Future Got a keeper Lee question taking over a league 0:57:14.520 --> 0:57:17.600 and must pick five pictures to keep no cost categories league. 0:57:17.600 --> 0:57:21.240 Pick two of these guys left, Steel, Hunter Brown, Hellsley, 0:57:21.360 --> 0:57:24.800 and Holmes A Rico. I'm keeping Steel and Hunter Brown. 0:57:24.800 --> 0:57:25.520 Who are you keeping? 0:57:25.960 --> 0:57:28.200 Yeah? Steel on Hunter Brown, I lean for the starters 0:57:28.240 --> 0:57:28.960 in that format. 0:57:29.400 --> 0:57:31.600 Well, you're nodding your head. You agree, peasy? 0:57:31.680 --> 0:57:36.120 Oh yeah, clean, sweep, Yeah, let's let's go sweep see future. 0:57:36.200 --> 0:57:39.120 We're drafting, we're helping, we're answering questions, we're doing it all. 0:57:39.240 --> 0:57:43.560 After Taylor Ward, Mountcastle, Cutter Crawford, Vaughan Grissom, Charlie Morton, 0:57:44.000 --> 0:57:46.960 and then Joe Rico, you went back to back pictures 0:57:47.240 --> 0:57:49.320 Mason Miller, who could be the closer in Oakland we're 0:57:49.360 --> 0:57:52.160 hoping at some point sooner than later, and Christopher Sanchez. 0:57:52.560 --> 0:57:54.360 So do you think Miller will be the closer? Because 0:57:54.400 --> 0:57:56.560 I do. I think that's just the natural path here, 0:57:56.840 --> 0:57:58.280 and I do think it's gonna be sooner than later. 0:57:58.320 --> 0:57:58.760 Do you agree? 0:57:59.240 --> 0:58:02.000 Yeah, I kind of banking on him being the closer. 0:58:02.440 --> 0:58:05.360 I don't think it'll be necessarily right away, but he'll 0:58:05.400 --> 0:58:07.640 get there, and he'll probably be a fifteen to twenty 0:58:07.760 --> 0:58:10.000 save type of guy. We know those strikeouts are massive 0:58:10.120 --> 0:58:13.080 just from a talent standpoint, just through the roof, so 0:58:13.960 --> 0:58:15.880 they have nothing to lose, they think they'll they'll probably 0:58:15.920 --> 0:58:17.760 let him be the closer. The question that I have 0:58:17.960 --> 0:58:19.920 is is he's just now a bullpen armor. Are they 0:58:19.960 --> 0:58:22.480 gonna eventually put him back in the rotation? Down the 0:58:22.560 --> 0:58:24.840 line that I'm not sure of, but I think he 0:58:24.880 --> 0:58:25.960 will be the closer this year. 0:58:26.240 --> 0:58:30.800 Okay, after you took Mason Miller, the draft continues on 0:58:30.920 --> 0:58:34.480 with Jim Carlo, Stanton Kenley, Jansen, Anthony Rizzo, Marcus Strowman, 0:58:34.560 --> 0:58:37.479 and then Cleig you took JP Crawford at nineteen oh six. 0:58:38.040 --> 0:58:39.520 How do you feel about this election? Here of another 0:58:39.560 --> 0:58:40.480 short stop off the board. 0:58:41.120 --> 0:58:43.440 Yet it was just as well, said a bunch of 0:58:43.520 --> 0:58:46.720 guys left for the middle endfield spot. And Crawford actually 0:58:46.840 --> 0:58:49.640 did have a really good year last year. He put 0:58:49.720 --> 0:58:52.200 up nineteen homers. He got on base at a three 0:58:52.280 --> 0:58:54.120 eighty clip, which you know in a points to the 0:58:54.200 --> 0:58:55.919 guy like guys to get on base at a higher clip. 0:58:56.200 --> 0:58:57.320 He scored ninety four runs. 0:58:57.680 --> 0:59:00.680 And so you look, at least at this point you're 0:59:00.720 --> 0:59:03.600 gonna get a little bit of power, some on base skills, 0:59:03.600 --> 0:59:05.640 and he's gonna score runs. So you know, while I 0:59:05.760 --> 0:59:09.480 don't love Crawford in like a twelfth team, like is 0:59:09.560 --> 0:59:12.160 my starting middle infielder with what's left? I was like, okay, 0:59:12.200 --> 0:59:15.560 I debated Camonaro. It's like, I mean, how much does 0:59:15.600 --> 0:59:17.200 he play? I do think Kim Naro's up. 0:59:17.200 --> 0:59:19.160 A lot because I just took him one hundred and 0:59:19.280 --> 0:59:20.880 eighteen games. That's what I think. 0:59:21.000 --> 0:59:23.440 I really think that they're they're foolest to not starting 0:59:23.480 --> 0:59:23.960 the majors. 0:59:24.080 --> 0:59:25.680 But you know, at the end of the day, like 0:59:25.800 --> 0:59:28.000 I went back and forth between him and I'm like, okay, 0:59:28.040 --> 0:59:30.800 I'll take the the guaranteed every day at bats with. 0:59:31.560 --> 0:59:33.600 Well, I'll take that decision off your hands for this 0:59:33.680 --> 0:59:34.120 next round. 0:59:35.400 --> 0:59:37.560 Also is like, I want to make sure Welsh has 0:59:37.680 --> 0:59:38.520 no shortstop. 0:59:38.640 --> 0:59:42.640 So that's well, I mean, you did take a short stop, 0:59:42.720 --> 0:59:45.120 so we'll get to it a second Nester Cortes Andrew Vaughn. 0:59:45.520 --> 0:59:47.320 Then you took Tommy Edmund. You're up on the clock 0:59:47.440 --> 0:59:49.920 right now, read debt Meers, Jonathan India. And then to 0:59:50.120 --> 0:59:54.440 end the nineteenth round, I took Justin Turner and Junior Caminaro, 0:59:54.480 --> 0:59:56.880 who I do think April will be a distant memory 0:59:56.960 --> 0:59:58.760 by the time we're a Memorial Day and I'll be 0:59:58.840 --> 1:00:01.400 very happy I made this pick. Guess what, he solved 1:00:01.440 --> 1:00:03.640 some of my qualification issues at your stop. There you go, 1:00:03.880 --> 1:00:06.040 So I feel very good about that. This is where 1:00:06.080 --> 1:00:09.080 you start taking those shots thinking about a six month season. 1:00:09.440 --> 1:00:13.440 Everybody keeps drafting for April. It's six months, folks. You 1:00:13.520 --> 1:00:16.000 got to keep that big picture. Now, that also has 1:00:16.080 --> 1:00:17.600 to mean some of these pictures you have to think 1:00:17.640 --> 1:00:20.320 about too, like Blake's now if you're getting a discount 1:00:20.680 --> 1:00:23.120 or Montgomery. But you know the problem with the pictures 1:00:23.200 --> 1:00:25.640 is when they get off their routine, it's very different. 1:00:25.680 --> 1:00:27.840 It's a different set of circumstances. A player who is 1:00:28.120 --> 1:00:30.480 healthy and starting the league year in the minor leagues, 1:00:30.880 --> 1:00:32.320 that's a different set of circumstances. 1:00:33.840 --> 1:00:37.520 My only caveat in a points format to to what 1:00:37.600 --> 1:00:39.920 you're kind of talking about with the April stuff is 1:00:40.400 --> 1:00:44.440 I'm a lot less willing to wait in points leagues 1:00:44.440 --> 1:00:48.360 because I need to accumulate the points. Like I'm always 1:00:48.440 --> 1:00:52.760 in an accumulation standpoint, and I don't like holding dead 1:00:52.800 --> 1:00:55.560 weight too long. So like I was just looking at Bradish, 1:00:55.600 --> 1:00:57.280 like Bratish should be like a really fun pick, and 1:00:57.320 --> 1:00:59.120 in a category league, I'd like to hold him back. 1:00:59.160 --> 1:01:02.880 But i feel like I'm using my bench more in 1:01:03.040 --> 1:01:06.520 these type of formats because I'm circulating starting pitchers in 1:01:06.560 --> 1:01:08.680 and out, and it's just like I said, it's points accumulation. 1:01:08.840 --> 1:01:11.800 So I'm a little less likely to take some of 1:01:11.840 --> 1:01:13.760 those shots here in points. 1:01:14.000 --> 1:01:15.919 I don't know. If I'm alone, i'd like or a Rico. 1:01:16.000 --> 1:01:18.680 I don't know, Joe, do you agree or do you 1:01:18.760 --> 1:01:19.600 think you know? You want it to? 1:01:19.720 --> 1:01:22.040 Because I've been I've been preaching the upside on the bench, 1:01:22.320 --> 1:01:24.280 but this format is like a little bit different to me. 1:01:24.720 --> 1:01:27.440 The shallower bench is tough. I mean, four bench spots 1:01:27.520 --> 1:01:30.480 does make it harder to take too many shots. I 1:01:30.520 --> 1:01:32.960 think you should take a couple, especially like in a 1:01:33.040 --> 1:01:34.760 canonary Ok case. I have one hundred percent agree. I 1:01:34.800 --> 1:01:37.240 think you're getting under twenty games, so I think it's 1:01:37.400 --> 1:01:39.920 totally worth it. But some of the deeper shots on 1:01:40.680 --> 1:01:42.760 let's just say like a Kobe Mayo for instance, or 1:01:42.880 --> 1:01:45.440 like a cal Bradish, like a prospect that you know 1:01:45.520 --> 1:01:47.280 could give you half a year, it's hard to waste 1:01:47.320 --> 1:01:50.240 that bench spot. Or Bratish where we really don't know 1:01:50.680 --> 1:01:53.040 when he'll be back and how severe the injury is. 1:01:53.280 --> 1:01:55.000 It makes it tough, but at the end of the day, 1:01:55.400 --> 1:01:57.160 you have Bratish, it comes out, he's out for you. 1:01:57.280 --> 1:01:58.800 You just drop him and sure in the spot. So 1:01:59.200 --> 1:02:02.280 I can see both our arguments for it, but it's tough. 1:02:02.840 --> 1:02:05.080 All right, Let's move on here with the draft picks, 1:02:05.120 --> 1:02:07.600 because we only got a few rounds left. After I 1:02:07.640 --> 1:02:11.040 took kemon arow Kenamaida went at twenty oho two. Then 1:02:11.160 --> 1:02:15.920 Luis Severino, you took Gurriel, Jack Sewinsky, Braxton Garrett, I 1:02:15.920 --> 1:02:18.080 should say the Welsh took Guriel. For those of you 1:02:18.160 --> 1:02:21.160 aren't watching on YouTube, but why aren't you? Fantacy Bros MLB, 1:02:21.200 --> 1:02:23.040 you should subscribe and watch on YouTube because it's fun 1:02:23.080 --> 1:02:25.560 and you could see the whole draft board yourself. Braxton 1:02:25.600 --> 1:02:28.480 Garrett goes. Then Nick Lodolo goes to Chris Kleig. Now 1:02:28.720 --> 1:02:32.520 calculated risk here, Chris, because Lodolo certainly a picture that 1:02:32.560 --> 1:02:34.280 has showed you a couple of years ago. Man, he 1:02:34.400 --> 1:02:37.760 has definitely got the stuff to be a really good 1:02:37.880 --> 1:02:41.240 starting pitcher. Last year did not materialize. What do you 1:02:41.320 --> 1:02:42.880 think of his prospects in twenty twenty four. 1:02:43.760 --> 1:02:45.840 I think it's a lot just health, and I think 1:02:45.920 --> 1:02:48.320 that you know, he should be back healthy. 1:02:48.480 --> 1:02:50.560 I know he's still building up innings, but we've seen 1:02:50.640 --> 1:02:52.680 him at least make one spring start and he looked 1:02:52.680 --> 1:02:54.360 pretty good. I know I'm not going to put any 1:02:54.400 --> 1:02:57.040 stock into two innings of work, but at the end 1:02:57.040 --> 1:02:57.360 of the day. 1:02:57.680 --> 1:02:58.920 Lodolo is a bench spot. 1:02:59.240 --> 1:03:01.760 He I think he's built up by you know, the 1:03:02.120 --> 1:03:04.520 second week of April, so he may miss a start 1:03:04.600 --> 1:03:07.480 or two, and at the cost, I just think it's 1:03:07.480 --> 1:03:09.720 worth taking a shot on because you know, the upside's there. 1:03:09.840 --> 1:03:12.400 Obviously the ballpark not so great, but at. 1:03:12.280 --> 1:03:13.840 The end of the day, I think Lodolo has the 1:03:13.880 --> 1:03:16.680 stuff that or he could step in and be, you know, 1:03:16.760 --> 1:03:18.000 one of my starting five. 1:03:18.240 --> 1:03:19.240 I was gonna take him too. 1:03:19.320 --> 1:03:21.160 That was a good pick and Cleg you just took 1:03:21.240 --> 1:03:25.280 Jackson Merrill player that Welsh is also talked about quite 1:03:25.280 --> 1:03:27.720 a bit. So your thoughts on Meryl in twenty twenty 1:03:27.760 --> 1:03:29.680 four this season breaking camp with the Padres. 1:03:29.960 --> 1:03:32.080 Yeah, that's that's the upside shot I'll take, you know, 1:03:32.200 --> 1:03:34.440 not getting Camon Arrow, I'll take the shot on Merrill 1:03:34.480 --> 1:03:38.560 having multi position eligibility. He'll be outfield and shortstop, so 1:03:38.600 --> 1:03:41.200 out a middle endfield as well. Merril's just such a 1:03:41.360 --> 1:03:44.440 high floor to hit. He has sneaky power. I think 1:03:44.480 --> 1:03:47.000 everybody kind of thinks there's no power there, but the 1:03:47.080 --> 1:03:49.440 exit velocities are really really good with him. He just 1:03:49.520 --> 1:03:51.520 has to lift the ball a little more. You're gonna 1:03:51.560 --> 1:03:53.120 give you a little bit of speed, so he's kind 1:03:53.160 --> 1:03:55.160 of well rounded. I know he's only twenty years old, 1:03:55.480 --> 1:03:57.560 but this kid has such a high floor. The padres 1:03:57.600 --> 1:03:59.960 are confident in him, and I think he's worth a show, 1:04:00.360 --> 1:04:02.240 you know, kind of late in draft like here, I 1:04:02.240 --> 1:04:03.560 think a points for Matty plays well. 1:04:03.920 --> 1:04:06.720 To recap what just happened between Cleg's two picks, we 1:04:06.880 --> 1:04:11.720 had Yueno Suarez, Chris Bryant, Rangifo Drury great value there 1:04:11.760 --> 1:04:15.360 at twenty, Kakuchi at twenty twelve to Jo Rico, and 1:04:15.440 --> 1:04:17.880 Tyler O'Neil was still on the board. O'Neil lasted a 1:04:17.960 --> 1:04:20.040 long time, Joe, were you surprised. 1:04:20.720 --> 1:04:23.120 Yeah, I don't know that there's that much love for 1:04:23.280 --> 1:04:25.840 Tyler O'Neill when he's only a couple of years removed 1:04:26.000 --> 1:04:29.479 from I forget what the exact numbers were, thirty four 1:04:29.720 --> 1:04:32.000 and twenty or something like that. He's in a new 1:04:32.040 --> 1:04:35.440 situation where he's free from that chaos and Saint Louis, 1:04:35.520 --> 1:04:37.360 So I'll happily take a chance on him here as 1:04:37.360 --> 1:04:38.160 a utility guy. 1:04:38.680 --> 1:04:41.640 Okay, and then after you went ahead and solidified your 1:04:41.760 --> 1:04:46.160 utility guy there. Max Schurzer, Jared Kelnick Williams McMahon, Merrill, 1:04:46.400 --> 1:04:50.439 Melendez toaj Bradley and Abbott Welsh. You took Abbot, would 1:04:50.480 --> 1:04:52.080 you have taken Bradley if he was still available? 1:04:53.680 --> 1:04:56.000 I think Bradley was available when I picked, wasn't he? 1:04:56.120 --> 1:04:57.480 Or did he go anyone right before you? 1:04:57.680 --> 1:04:57.800 Oh? 1:04:57.880 --> 1:04:58.560 Yeah, yeah he did. 1:04:59.520 --> 1:05:03.480 If Bradley was healthy, like really healthy, I'd have taken 1:05:03.560 --> 1:05:06.520 him a long time ago. But the health stuff little 1:05:06.560 --> 1:05:07.960 bit of a concern for me. Like I said, I 1:05:08.120 --> 1:05:12.160 am attempting at best possible to have every player starting 1:05:12.400 --> 1:05:15.680 on day one because I need week to week point accumulation. 1:05:15.800 --> 1:05:18.320 I don't have time to hang around. So Bradley was 1:05:18.800 --> 1:05:20.360 moving down my list a little bit. 1:05:20.880 --> 1:05:25.880 Okay, So after you took Abbott, Neto went, then Brent Rooker, 1:05:25.920 --> 1:05:28.880 I took Alvarado and Lars Newbar. Josh Bell went at 1:05:28.920 --> 1:05:30.920 twenty two to oh two. So while she got two 1:05:30.960 --> 1:05:32.480 picks left here, what are you looking at your roster? 1:05:32.600 --> 1:05:33.800 What do you want to do? Just kind of build 1:05:34.640 --> 1:05:37.560 for upside, try to deep in the pitching staff. What 1:05:37.640 --> 1:05:39.840 are you looking for here in the last few picks? 1:05:40.200 --> 1:05:43.120 Well, if I'm being really really smart about it, I 1:05:43.160 --> 1:05:46.040 should probably be looking at like a shortstop because I've 1:05:46.160 --> 1:05:47.480 got kind of a dicey one. 1:05:47.560 --> 1:05:49.960 I took Tommy Edmund, who it really isn't like a. 1:05:50.400 --> 1:05:53.680 Well, Jeremy Pania Jordan Lawler still on the board, Mason Wynn. 1:05:54.360 --> 1:05:56.439 You heard a lot of positive things on Fantasy Fests 1:05:56.480 --> 1:05:58.600 from Steve Gardner in our first segment about him. 1:05:58.920 --> 1:06:00.840 Yeah, and I and Jeremy is where I'm going to 1:06:00.880 --> 1:06:03.800 go with it. So I've got to get at least 1:06:03.840 --> 1:06:06.200 one hitter on there my last pick. I probably will 1:06:06.240 --> 1:06:09.320 go another pitcher and go three pitcher one hitter for 1:06:09.480 --> 1:06:10.880 my bench that we're going to fill out, because that 1:06:10.960 --> 1:06:13.760 is probably much closer to what I would have done. 1:06:13.800 --> 1:06:15.840 I will say Kerry Carpenter is still sitting out there 1:06:15.960 --> 1:06:18.360 and he's a great value. But both of my utail 1:06:18.400 --> 1:06:21.560 spots were filled from outfielders, so I should be looking 1:06:21.600 --> 1:06:24.400 at more. If I'm going to put a bench hitter on, 1:06:24.720 --> 1:06:26.920 it should be something on the infield, And specifically that's 1:06:26.960 --> 1:06:27.880 why I went shortstop. 1:06:28.320 --> 1:06:30.960 Clig. It's such a spectacular rookie class. Do you find 1:06:31.000 --> 1:06:33.640 yourself building rosters that look a little bit more like 1:06:34.040 --> 1:06:36.800 Dynasty League rosters in the sense that look, I mean, 1:06:37.160 --> 1:06:39.840 there's a lot of prospects this year who are in 1:06:39.920 --> 1:06:42.160 a position to make a huge impact in twenty twenty four. 1:06:42.800 --> 1:06:45.800 How do you balance the veterans of the prospects and 1:06:45.880 --> 1:06:46.840 some of your bills this year. 1:06:46.920 --> 1:06:47.600 It's really tough. 1:06:47.760 --> 1:06:51.120 I think the prospects I'm more confident drafting are the 1:06:51.160 --> 1:06:53.440 ones that, like you know, are going to be on 1:06:53.520 --> 1:06:55.720 the opening a roster. So you get a Carter, you 1:06:55.760 --> 1:06:58.400 get a Lankford, You look at those guys to Merrill, 1:06:58.560 --> 1:07:01.240 you know, obviously he's a little deep cut, even Camonaro, 1:07:01.360 --> 1:07:04.560 who while he may not be up on opening day, 1:07:04.680 --> 1:07:07.080 so you're gonna provide a lot of value. But you're right, 1:07:07.120 --> 1:07:10.320 I think that mixing these, you know, I think there's 1:07:10.360 --> 1:07:12.960 upside in vets too, but getting the young upside players 1:07:13.320 --> 1:07:16.240 paired with secure vets can really pay off. Depending on 1:07:16.280 --> 1:07:19.920 the format, especially but in a shallower league, I think 1:07:20.000 --> 1:07:23.000 the you know, less appt I am to take prospects 1:07:23.200 --> 1:07:25.680 because if they struggle, you know, it's it's hard to 1:07:26.440 --> 1:07:28.120 keep them on your bench, even though you want to 1:07:28.240 --> 1:07:28.880 for the upside. 1:07:29.080 --> 1:07:31.120 But in a four man bench, it's really tough. 1:07:31.280 --> 1:07:33.480 You know, Meryl struggles out of the gate, like I'm 1:07:33.480 --> 1:07:35.120 probably gonna have to drop him even though I don't 1:07:35.160 --> 1:07:37.160 want to, you know. So the deeper the league, the 1:07:37.200 --> 1:07:38.840 more kind of app DI am to take a shot 1:07:39.320 --> 1:07:40.520 or more shots on prospects. 1:07:40.640 --> 1:07:43.440 For sure. Josh Bell goes after new Bar at twenty 1:07:43.520 --> 1:07:45.520 two to two, than La Clerk, Jeremy Paine into the 1:07:45.560 --> 1:07:48.800 Welsh as he said, Emmi Sheehan, Dean Kramer, and then 1:07:48.880 --> 1:07:52.720 you had Shane Base to Chris Cleig Griffin, Canning Carry Carpenter, 1:07:52.840 --> 1:07:56.040 Kyle Bradish finally into twenty second round lance Lynn Uh 1:07:56.880 --> 1:07:58.840 Joe Rico Europe for two picks. Well, share, you're buying 1:07:58.840 --> 1:08:00.680 the lance Lynn spring because he's been a little bit 1:08:00.720 --> 1:08:01.720 better in that last start. 1:08:02.360 --> 1:08:05.440 I am not, absolutely not. I'm not gonna do anything 1:08:05.480 --> 1:08:07.360 with lance Lynn. There's a picture on the board that 1:08:07.480 --> 1:08:09.400 I'm still shocked that's still there. He's one of my 1:08:09.440 --> 1:08:11.200 big There's a couple of pitchers actually that are much 1:08:11.240 --> 1:08:14.919 better plays. I no chance I would take lance Lynn 1:08:15.520 --> 1:08:18.000 over taking a shot on Paul Skins coming up early, 1:08:18.200 --> 1:08:20.920 like I would rather take that, And Skeens is still 1:08:20.920 --> 1:08:22.599 out there, so no, you know, lance Lynn. 1:08:22.439 --> 1:08:24.240 For me, we all know Skens is still out there, 1:08:24.280 --> 1:08:25.600 and we all know he's not gonna make it to me. 1:08:25.720 --> 1:08:28.479 We all understand this, Joe Rico, your picks are in 1:08:28.600 --> 1:08:31.720 Dalton Varshow. I think that's Justin Mason's favorite player and 1:08:31.880 --> 1:08:34.320 Mackenzie Gore with your last pick. So how do you 1:08:34.320 --> 1:08:36.280 feel about getting Varshow in the twenty second I like 1:08:36.320 --> 1:08:36.599 it a lot. 1:08:36.640 --> 1:08:38.960 You're probably looking at like twenty five and ten. Again, 1:08:39.040 --> 1:08:41.639 it's like the last pick if I have to drop him. 1:08:41.640 --> 1:08:43.680 That's why I love about shallow leagues. There's just so 1:08:43.840 --> 1:08:45.840 much depth even at the end of these drafts that 1:08:45.880 --> 1:08:47.519 you can get a twenty five and ten guys your 1:08:47.560 --> 1:08:47.960 last pick. 1:08:48.040 --> 1:08:49.400 So I really like it. 1:08:49.520 --> 1:08:51.320 I don't love what the Blue Jays have done around 1:08:51.479 --> 1:08:55.720 him necessarily, but I'm taking that every single time I pick. 1:08:55.760 --> 1:08:57.720 What is it two fifty or something. I mean, come on, 1:08:58.040 --> 1:08:58.720 you can't go wrong. 1:08:58.960 --> 1:09:01.680 Yeah, Joe, do you sometimes like at this point, you know, 1:09:01.760 --> 1:09:04.280 with the way specializations hit major League Baseball, do you 1:09:04.360 --> 1:09:06.559 feel like it's it behooves people to be doing these 1:09:06.600 --> 1:09:09.040 fifteen team leagues and these deeper formats as opposed to 1:09:09.360 --> 1:09:11.400 maybe playing twelve teams and is going a little deeper 1:09:11.439 --> 1:09:12.280 in the active roster. 1:09:12.840 --> 1:09:16.719 It's really dependent on the person and if you want. 1:09:16.680 --> 1:09:18.720 Well, I'm asking you how do you feel about it? 1:09:18.920 --> 1:09:19.760 Like what do you prefer? 1:09:20.080 --> 1:09:22.040 And I'm not sure Behooves is the right I know 1:09:22.080 --> 1:09:24.080 what you're getting at, but Behooves kind of says like 1:09:24.520 --> 1:09:26.439 is it a benefit? Like people just play with how 1:09:26.479 --> 1:09:29.280 many people they have? You know what I'm saying, Yes. 1:09:29.240 --> 1:09:31.240 But you have options and you have you know ways 1:09:31.280 --> 1:09:33.200 you could choose to play. Is the best set up, 1:09:33.360 --> 1:09:35.760 Joe in your opinion, the fifteen team league where you're 1:09:35.760 --> 1:09:38.080 pushing the depths of everything, or a little bit more 1:09:38.120 --> 1:09:40.439 forgiving twelve teamer at this point with the way you 1:09:40.520 --> 1:09:42.960 know the platoons work and the way the specializations happen, 1:09:43.000 --> 1:09:45.960 the way the bullpens are and just pushing the active 1:09:45.960 --> 1:09:46.920 players a little bit more. 1:09:47.560 --> 1:09:51.120 I think a twelve team standard roto is my favorite 1:09:51.640 --> 1:09:55.120 type of setup to play middle infield, corner infield. I 1:09:55.200 --> 1:09:58.080 don't like it when it becomes a chore and you're 1:09:58.120 --> 1:10:01.760 looking at two catchers and because that's a chore, right, 1:10:01.840 --> 1:10:03.280 I'm sorry, Bob up, you're listening. 1:10:03.400 --> 1:10:05.280 No, it's a chore. Argue. You came to the right 1:10:05.320 --> 1:10:07.400 place for that argument, Like. 1:10:07.479 --> 1:10:10.040 You know, I personally put a lot of time into 1:10:10.080 --> 1:10:12.679 fantasy baseball. But even I think we can all agree 1:10:12.720 --> 1:10:14.680 there's only so much time I want to put into it. 1:10:14.920 --> 1:10:17.920 When you're going beyond the second catchers for a team 1:10:17.960 --> 1:10:19.520 and you're looking at third catchers. 1:10:19.200 --> 1:10:22.639 And that's just one example. You want to start good players. 1:10:22.680 --> 1:10:25.920 You want to have your team comprised of talented, good 1:10:26.040 --> 1:10:29.040 players all maybe not all star level players, but you 1:10:29.120 --> 1:10:31.400 don't want to be picking at guys who are going 1:10:31.479 --> 1:10:33.760 to be single digit homer single digit stolen bases to 1:10:33.840 --> 1:10:35.320 kind of fill it in to each their own. But 1:10:35.439 --> 1:10:37.880 for me, I'd rather have a roster of great players 1:10:37.960 --> 1:10:39.320 than you know, platoon guys. 1:10:39.520 --> 1:10:42.120 All right, we'll see how great those rosters are. Because 1:10:42.160 --> 1:10:46.320 after you took gore Than Thorpe, Lugo, Paxon, Anderson, Olsen, 1:10:46.760 --> 1:10:50.240 Dela Cruz, Lawler, Michael Waka, Paul Skeins, So you didn't 1:10:50.280 --> 1:10:53.599 take Welsh, you didn't take Skins, you took Waka Clark Schmidt, 1:10:53.640 --> 1:10:56.719 and then Starling Marte. I got a B plus Welsh. 1:10:57.520 --> 1:10:59.679 What grade did you get from draft wizard? 1:10:59.760 --> 1:11:02.760 I told you, I don't I don't think it equated 1:11:02.840 --> 1:11:05.960 the points quite enough. I gotta B minus and I 1:11:06.880 --> 1:11:10.240 don't know if it's quite pushing this in. 1:11:10.320 --> 1:11:13.800 The point as Welsh's gonna write a strongly leaded letter, 1:11:14.560 --> 1:11:17.120 a strongly worded letter, I can't even talk. It's Friday, 1:11:17.439 --> 1:11:20.400 A strongly worded Leather is going to come out there 1:11:20.520 --> 1:11:22.720 to I just said, Leather, I can't even do you. 1:11:23.680 --> 1:11:25.880 I'm throwing in the towel. Welsh, you have many leather 1:11:25.960 --> 1:11:28.200 bound books and everything like that that you met, is right, 1:11:28.240 --> 1:11:29.639 I should never talk again on the show. 1:11:30.160 --> 1:11:34.040 No, but but I I would question, like, how much 1:11:34.280 --> 1:11:36.880 is this equating the points factor on it? 1:11:37.000 --> 1:11:38.320 Because not not to be like I had to be 1:11:38.439 --> 1:11:39.360 number one or anything. 1:11:39.160 --> 1:11:41.519 Like that, but be careful. I got too much. You 1:11:41.600 --> 1:11:42.639 might not be here on Monday. 1:11:42.840 --> 1:11:46.479 I got Cold Reagan's, I got Michael King, absolute monsters 1:11:46.560 --> 1:11:49.240 at RP for points. I got Louis A Rayas Jung HULEI, 1:11:49.479 --> 1:11:51.640 who are absolutely more valuable than that. 1:11:51.800 --> 1:11:53.600 But yeah, I did it, did ding me? So I 1:11:53.680 --> 1:11:55.759 am the biggest loser here, so big. 1:11:55.680 --> 1:11:58.360 Well, you're the biggest loser of us. But you did 1:11:58.560 --> 1:12:00.680 finish tenth, which is better than you did last time. 1:12:00.920 --> 1:12:03.200 So you went from eleven to ten. Great, good on you. 1:12:04.120 --> 1:12:07.880 My favorite hot take here from mine is that Joe 1:12:07.920 --> 1:12:09.800 Piece of Pia Fantasy pros likes my draft more than 1:12:09.840 --> 1:12:10.679 ano the other experts. 1:12:11.360 --> 1:12:13.080 You don't even have alexix now do you like it 1:12:13.200 --> 1:12:13.479 so much? 1:12:13.960 --> 1:12:16.519 I do have Alex Bregman. That's why. That's why. 1:12:16.600 --> 1:12:18.280 Never mind, Sorry, that's whine so. 1:12:18.520 --> 1:12:22.439 But congratulations to Jick Spring because you won the draft 1:12:22.520 --> 1:12:25.800 with a ninety six, Joe Elrico with a ninety four. 1:12:25.880 --> 1:12:27.800 Look at you. You almost did it, Joe. You felt 1:12:27.840 --> 1:12:30.200 just a little short. I came in at fourth. Chris 1:12:30.280 --> 1:12:32.320 Clegg beat the Welsh, that's all that matters at nine, 1:12:32.360 --> 1:12:35.120 and Welsh finished tenth, which is the great way to 1:12:35.320 --> 1:12:38.280 end this. Looking at this here, Ario Cone finally liked 1:12:38.280 --> 1:12:40.519 the draft of mine. It took me five thousand drafts. 1:12:41.120 --> 1:12:43.559 I finally liked it. But Towers hated me and Soda 1:12:43.640 --> 1:12:45.439 Kelly Kirby. But that's just a standard here. 1:12:45.960 --> 1:12:47.840 But you loved you the most, right because that's what. 1:12:48.120 --> 1:12:49.800 I love me to me. That's that's the way it 1:12:49.880 --> 1:12:55.080 goes a team real quick, sal Perez, gold Schmidt, Glaber, Torres, 1:12:55.320 --> 1:13:01.720 Edmund Berger, Arise, Julian Alvarez, Robert Carter, Guriel Paynia. Then 1:13:01.800 --> 1:13:06.000 the rotations, Tenser Stryder, Gallon, Bassett, Verlander, Burrios. But you 1:13:06.040 --> 1:13:10.160 also had Reagan's and Michael King. Then the bench is good, Bayo, Abbott, 1:13:10.240 --> 1:13:12.720 Waka and Lee. Pretty good team here. Well, I think 1:13:12.760 --> 1:13:14.519 it's a B minus. I just think the bar was 1:13:14.600 --> 1:13:16.400 very high because all of our listeners are so smart. 1:13:16.400 --> 1:13:18.080 I think that it's an A plus. It's an A plus. 1:13:18.120 --> 1:13:20.200 I don't care what this says. It is maybe the 1:13:20.240 --> 1:13:20.960 best points league. 1:13:20.960 --> 1:13:22.320 Are you not accepting the results? 1:13:22.439 --> 1:13:23.600 Is that not accepting it? 1:13:23.720 --> 1:13:26.599 I think exactly, I'm calling for a recount. It's gonna 1:13:26.600 --> 1:13:27.040 take a month. 1:13:27.120 --> 1:13:29.759 Well, you do live in Arizona, so that's yeah, we're. 1:13:29.640 --> 1:13:32.760 Gonna get exactly everything was wrong. But Ario Cohen loved 1:13:32.800 --> 1:13:35.200 my draft the most, so that is a big win 1:13:35.320 --> 1:13:39.000 for me. Dalton Dell, Don, Frank Amerant, Scott Bogman loved it. 1:13:39.120 --> 1:13:40.960 Our boy Chris Meeney, who you just did the show with, 1:13:41.040 --> 1:13:44.240 did not. Scott White did not. Andy Barons did not. 1:13:44.400 --> 1:13:46.280 But I'll take Ario Cohen love in my draft. 1:13:46.439 --> 1:13:48.519 Great. All right, let's get to Clegg's before we get 1:13:48.560 --> 1:13:50.400 to the big winner here, which is really Joe Rico. 1:13:50.479 --> 1:14:01.360 So Clegg, you came away with Will Smith Freeman Perettis, Holiday, Austin, Riley, Candelario, Crawford, Rose, Raina, Yelich, Hap, Jimenez, 1:14:01.479 --> 1:14:06.080 Ward then Lopez, Gilbert, Ryan Bieber, Christian Javier Diaz Pepio. 1:14:06.200 --> 1:14:10.280 The bench is Lodolo bos Reese Olsen and Jackson Merrill. So, Cleig, 1:14:10.280 --> 1:14:11.840 when you're looking back at this roster, how do you 1:14:11.880 --> 1:14:13.519 feel about it? And do you like the builder where 1:14:13.520 --> 1:14:14.400 you've done something different. 1:14:14.560 --> 1:14:17.559 I think it's actually a decent Points League build as well. Shit, 1:14:17.560 --> 1:14:20.240 I think we got penalized for overthinking the Points League thing. 1:14:20.680 --> 1:14:21.920 But at the end of the day, you know, it 1:14:22.000 --> 1:14:24.280 is what it is, and you know, I think it's fine. 1:14:24.320 --> 1:14:29.120 I think really probably taking starters earlier, getting a better 1:14:29.240 --> 1:14:31.839 rotation probably would have been good. Not having to take Bieber. 1:14:32.280 --> 1:14:34.280 It's like the SP four type you had. It felt 1:14:34.320 --> 1:14:36.559 a little bit better about that. But at the end 1:14:36.560 --> 1:14:38.040 of the day, you know, I think it's a It's 1:14:38.080 --> 1:14:40.439 a fine team that could have been probably a little better. 1:14:41.120 --> 1:14:44.280 Okay, See that's the way you take it Welsh you know. 1:14:44.479 --> 1:14:48.479 See that's that's class. Chris Clegg is all class class. 1:14:48.720 --> 1:14:50.599 It's CCC when it comes to Chris. 1:14:51.120 --> 1:14:55.000 As can be. But this is an a plus team, 1:14:55.240 --> 1:14:58.479 and I will not drop this you. We're gonna take that. 1:14:58.720 --> 1:15:01.200 Maybe you need some extra simular this weekend. Maybe you 1:15:01.320 --> 1:15:02.880 run a couple more on Draft Wizard, which you all 1:15:02.880 --> 1:15:05.160 should be doing. Download the Apple, go to fantasypros dot 1:15:05.200 --> 1:15:07.519 com slash Draft Wizard so you can beat the Welsh 1:15:07.600 --> 1:15:10.160 next time. All right, Arica, let's get to you here, 1:15:10.200 --> 1:15:13.200 because you are the best of us. And I mean 1:15:13.240 --> 1:15:16.280 that obviously in many ways. So looking at the draft board, 1:15:16.360 --> 1:15:19.840 looking at your selections here, Logan o Happy is the catcher, Pascuentino, 1:15:19.920 --> 1:15:26.200 Albi's McClain, Aronado, Chapman, Estrada, Acunya, Suzuki, Yoshida, O'Neil varshow 1:15:26.240 --> 1:15:29.920 and then the staff is Castillo, Peralta, Max Fried, Hunter 1:15:30.000 --> 1:15:33.519 Green and Brian Wu. The relievers Munos and Paveda. Then 1:15:33.560 --> 1:15:37.479 you had Sanchez, Mason, Miller, Kakuci and Mackenzie Gore. So, Clegg, 1:15:37.600 --> 1:15:39.559 how do you feel about this? Because Draft Wizard certainly 1:15:39.680 --> 1:15:39.880 liked it. 1:15:40.400 --> 1:15:43.519 I mean, it's hard to not like an Acuna team. 1:15:43.600 --> 1:15:46.600 Right when you get an Acuna team, you're gonna like 1:15:46.680 --> 1:15:49.080 every single Acuna team pretty much. If there's anything that 1:15:49.200 --> 1:15:53.599 I don't like, it's that maybe Hunter Green is probably 1:15:53.680 --> 1:15:56.240 not suited as an SP four. I mean, it's probably fine. 1:15:56.360 --> 1:15:57.840 But if I had him as my SP five and 1:15:57.880 --> 1:15:59.479 had a bit of a cushion there ahead of him, 1:16:00.160 --> 1:16:04.160 be had instead of taking maybe instead of Matt McClain, 1:16:04.280 --> 1:16:06.479 or instead of say a Azuki in round seven, round nine, 1:16:06.520 --> 1:16:08.479 if I got my SP four there, I might have 1:16:08.600 --> 1:16:12.120 liked it a little more. But I'm overall, I'm pretty 1:16:12.120 --> 1:16:14.920 happy with what I'm seeing here. You like my draft, 1:16:15.000 --> 1:16:16.240 Joe Joepie's a p one of the. 1:16:16.400 --> 1:16:16.880 I do that. 1:16:17.720 --> 1:16:21.559 I do like your draft the Albis, Yeah, I mean 1:16:21.760 --> 1:16:23.560 that's certainly a good start there. For me, it was 1:16:23.680 --> 1:16:29.280 cal Rawley, Matt Olsen, Altuve, Garcia, Bregman, and Carnacion, Strand, Turner, 1:16:29.720 --> 1:16:34.080 Aaron Juddes, Cassilianos, Jordan Walker, Lowe, Lars Nowbar and then 1:16:34.120 --> 1:16:37.240 we had Glass Now Bobby Miller, Lozardo Bybee, Hunter Brown, 1:16:37.680 --> 1:16:39.920 hells Lee and Azala as the closers. Then I had 1:16:39.920 --> 1:16:44.360 Alvarado my bench with Marte, Brandon Lowe and excuse Brandon 1:16:44.400 --> 1:16:45.680 law I got Allow and a low so I got 1:16:45.720 --> 1:16:47.400 everybody together. If I could have gotten Josh, I could 1:16:47.439 --> 1:16:49.479 have had the triangle. I just missed it. And Junior 1:16:49.560 --> 1:16:52.040 Camanaro on my bench as well. That's probably why I 1:16:52.200 --> 1:16:54.760 like the draft so much because yeah, but again shout 1:16:54.800 --> 1:16:57.680 out to Spring, you're the big winner here today.
