<v Speaker 2>we'll mention again here in a little bit at Fantasypros

0:00:34.479 --> 0:00:37.839
<v Speaker 2>dot com slash chat. It is me and Joey. Oh,

0:00:37.880 --> 0:00:40.720
<v Speaker 2>it's Joe Aurico in the house, and we had some

0:00:40.800 --> 0:00:43.680
<v Speaker 2>breaking news just before the show covered, so we're gonna

0:00:43.720 --> 0:00:44.959
<v Speaker 2>hit that as well. But Joe, what's up?

0:00:46.600 --> 0:00:48.839
<v Speaker 1>I'm doing well? Man. It's good because these shows were

0:00:48.920 --> 0:00:50.639
<v Speaker 1>kind of thinking about what are we going to talk

0:00:50.680 --> 0:00:52.879
<v Speaker 1>with today, what are gonna be the hot topics, and

0:00:52.920 --> 0:00:55.520
<v Speaker 1>we got a beautiful one right before we started going

0:00:55.560 --> 0:00:57.440
<v Speaker 1>on today, so should be fun to talk Roman Anthony.

0:00:57.600 --> 0:00:59.920
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, one of those things too. We did the Prospect

0:01:00.120 --> 0:01:03.920
<v Speaker 2>with the Welsh segment, and I just always feel like

0:01:04.240 --> 0:01:07.600
<v Speaker 2>when there are when there's big prospects, because I obviously

0:01:07.640 --> 0:01:10.360
<v Speaker 2>don't want to retread information every week, super important not

0:01:10.440 --> 0:01:13.520
<v Speaker 2>to do that. But when there are just in your

0:01:13.680 --> 0:01:18.279
<v Speaker 2>face players that everyone is just like not patiently waiting

0:01:18.319 --> 0:01:21.080
<v Speaker 2>for dying to come up, I feel like we have

0:01:21.160 --> 0:01:23.120
<v Speaker 2>to mention. I have to have some mention of it.

0:01:23.319 --> 0:01:25.679
<v Speaker 2>And I think there's only two players that really truly

0:01:25.760 --> 0:01:28.960
<v Speaker 2>qualify in that range. One is Bubba Chandler, who, you know,

0:01:29.480 --> 0:01:32.520
<v Speaker 2>God knows if if the moon aligns correctly at some point,

0:01:32.640 --> 0:01:34.560
<v Speaker 2>you know he will get called up. The other is

0:01:34.600 --> 0:01:36.560
<v Speaker 2>Roman Anthony. So we kind of did at the very

0:01:36.640 --> 0:01:38.800
<v Speaker 2>top of that segment like hey, here's your top three.

0:01:38.880 --> 0:01:40.679
<v Speaker 2>These are the no brainers. If they come up, you

0:01:40.760 --> 0:01:42.480
<v Speaker 2>just pick them up. And then we went into like

0:01:42.520 --> 0:01:46.000
<v Speaker 2>some deeper prospects that you know, one guy might actually

0:01:46.000 --> 0:01:47.520
<v Speaker 2>be one of the best pitchers in baseball who just

0:01:47.520 --> 0:01:49.920
<v Speaker 2>got moved up a triple A. So go and check

0:01:49.960 --> 0:01:51.560
<v Speaker 2>it out on the YouTube. It was un leading off,

0:01:51.560 --> 0:01:55.120
<v Speaker 2>but it'll also be on the shorts. We have like

0:01:55.160 --> 0:01:58.320
<v Speaker 2>a short form video on Fantasy Pro's YouTube channel YouTube

0:01:58.360 --> 0:02:01.160
<v Speaker 2>dot com. Slash Fantasy pros mL BE don't want you

0:02:01.200 --> 0:02:03.480
<v Speaker 2>to miss any of it, but we did kind of

0:02:03.480 --> 0:02:08.640
<v Speaker 2>do a quick ish gloss through of it and with it,

0:02:08.680 --> 0:02:11.040
<v Speaker 2>and I actually didn't see this, So career kick is

0:02:11.360 --> 0:02:13.359
<v Speaker 2>giving me some information that I'm gonna need to actually

0:02:13.360 --> 0:02:16.959
<v Speaker 2>fix today as well. Is will your Brady apparently is

0:02:17.000 --> 0:02:19.400
<v Speaker 2>going to the IEL, which I did not see, and

0:02:19.440 --> 0:02:21.400
<v Speaker 2>I think I picked him for the home run contest.

0:02:21.440 --> 0:02:25.440
<v Speaker 2>But Roman Anthony as mentioned on the show, Hey, he

0:02:25.480 --> 0:02:27.720
<v Speaker 2>could come up anytime soon. You have to roster him.

0:02:27.720 --> 0:02:31.600
<v Speaker 2>And then like three hours after leading off airs, bam,

0:02:32.000 --> 0:02:34.480
<v Speaker 2>Roman Anthony is officially getting called up. And it looks

0:02:34.480 --> 0:02:37.079
<v Speaker 2>like Willier is kind of the piece. Can you look

0:02:37.160 --> 0:02:38.520
<v Speaker 2>or I mean, I guess I could look too if

0:02:38.520 --> 0:02:41.440
<v Speaker 2>that Willier news is official, because I didn't even see that.

0:02:41.440 --> 0:02:43.600
<v Speaker 2>That does make sense though, because there was no like

0:02:44.320 --> 0:02:46.799
<v Speaker 2>there's no corresponding move. Yeah, I do see it right here.

0:02:46.840 --> 0:02:49.880
<v Speaker 2>Willier is headed to the IL with an issue with

0:02:49.960 --> 0:02:53.160
<v Speaker 2>his side. Roman's coming up. He's going to play tonight

0:02:53.160 --> 0:02:57.360
<v Speaker 2>as we're recording this batting fifth, what's your level of

0:02:57.440 --> 0:03:00.720
<v Speaker 2>aggression for yourself when you look a guy like Roman

0:03:00.760 --> 0:03:04.200
<v Speaker 2>Anthony knowing that you know cag leone just came up.

0:03:04.560 --> 0:03:07.080
<v Speaker 2>I want you to think about it in a NFBC

0:03:07.160 --> 0:03:11.320
<v Speaker 2>sense of course, so everyone's gonna have actually, weirdly NFBC

0:03:11.360 --> 0:03:13.960
<v Speaker 2>people might be fighting for CAGs and Roman Anthony this

0:03:14.000 --> 0:03:16.520
<v Speaker 2>coming weekend because Caags came up. What was it like

0:03:16.560 --> 0:03:18.320
<v Speaker 2>Sunday night or not. I guess that was last week.

0:03:18.360 --> 0:03:19.720
<v Speaker 2>So that was last week and they just did that.

0:03:20.040 --> 0:03:21.679
<v Speaker 2>But I want you to think of it from the

0:03:21.720 --> 0:03:24.000
<v Speaker 2>long term perspective of like NFBC for the week, but

0:03:24.080 --> 0:03:28.480
<v Speaker 2>also a short term What level of hold are you

0:03:28.560 --> 0:03:31.400
<v Speaker 2>wanting on Roman Anthony? What is your expectations and how

0:03:31.440 --> 0:03:33.160
<v Speaker 2>he's been built up, Like what what do you think

0:03:33.200 --> 0:03:36.000
<v Speaker 2>he aligns for like an outfielder three and outfielder two.

0:03:36.040 --> 0:03:37.960
<v Speaker 2>Do you think there's more upside? Do you think he's overrated?

0:03:39.960 --> 0:03:45.040
<v Speaker 1>Oh? Man, I think that he's probably an outfielder. If

0:03:45.040 --> 0:03:47.520
<v Speaker 1>we're talking like a twelve team kind of thing, he's

0:03:47.520 --> 0:03:49.400
<v Speaker 1>probably like in the three to four range. Like he's

0:03:49.440 --> 0:03:52.920
<v Speaker 1>probably somewhere in that thirty six to forty eight type

0:03:52.920 --> 0:03:57.200
<v Speaker 1>of ranking range. But I'm pretty excited just considering the

0:03:57.240 --> 0:04:00.840
<v Speaker 1>lineup context. Boston hasn't been amazing, but if I'm looking

0:04:00.880 --> 0:04:03.120
<v Speaker 1>over the last month, they ranked twelfth in the league

0:04:03.360 --> 0:04:06.760
<v Speaker 1>in WRC plus at one hundred and three, So it's

0:04:06.760 --> 0:04:08.880
<v Speaker 1>a solid lineup that he's going to be entering right

0:04:08.920 --> 0:04:11.080
<v Speaker 1>into the middle of with that replacement with a bray.

0:04:11.120 --> 0:04:13.480
<v Speaker 1>You we've been talking the whole season with the Red Sox,

0:04:13.480 --> 0:04:16.000
<v Speaker 1>whereas whether it's the infield of the outfield about how

0:04:16.000 --> 0:04:17.719
<v Speaker 1>they're going to make all the pieces work, and things

0:04:17.880 --> 0:04:20.600
<v Speaker 1>generally do kind of figure themselves out. So will you're

0:04:20.640 --> 0:04:23.240
<v Speaker 1>on the ten day. That'll give Anthony at the very

0:04:23.440 --> 0:04:25.000
<v Speaker 1>minimum a week and a half the show what he

0:04:25.000 --> 0:04:26.680
<v Speaker 1>can do. But even if he struggles a little bit,

0:04:26.720 --> 0:04:28.960
<v Speaker 1>I think they would still keep him up. He's just

0:04:29.240 --> 0:04:33.440
<v Speaker 1>a data darling. Roman Anthony has been fantastic this season

0:04:33.720 --> 0:04:36.480
<v Speaker 1>in TRIPAA. He almost has walked as much as he's

0:04:36.520 --> 0:04:39.960
<v Speaker 1>struck out on nineteen percent. Walk rate is ridiculous. He

0:04:40.000 --> 0:04:42.839
<v Speaker 1>doesn't chase, he makes good contact in the zone. The

0:04:42.839 --> 0:04:45.320
<v Speaker 1>swinging strike rate is really low. He looks like a stud.

0:04:45.360 --> 0:04:48.559
<v Speaker 1>He looks like an absolute superstar. You are much more

0:04:49.240 --> 0:04:51.640
<v Speaker 1>data or excuse me, much more prospect driven, So you're

0:04:51.720 --> 0:04:53.560
<v Speaker 1>going to be probably the better person to turn to

0:04:53.720 --> 0:04:57.200
<v Speaker 1>for the specifics of Roman Anthony's development and everything. But

0:04:57.360 --> 0:04:59.560
<v Speaker 1>I'm thinking that he is worth an ad even in

0:04:59.680 --> 0:05:03.960
<v Speaker 1>ten team leagues. In terms of NFBC fab he's going

0:05:04.000 --> 0:05:06.039
<v Speaker 1>to go for a lot. I mean, it kind of

0:05:06.040 --> 0:05:09.080
<v Speaker 1>depends on what he does this week. But JACKI Leone

0:05:09.120 --> 0:05:13.119
<v Speaker 1>was going for two to four hundred dollars, so twenty

0:05:13.120 --> 0:05:14.760
<v Speaker 1>to forty percent of overall budgets.

0:05:14.800 --> 0:05:17.480
<v Speaker 2>Yes, one thousand dollars budget, mind you, because if that

0:05:17.720 --> 0:05:20.599
<v Speaker 2>was a five hundred dollars budget, two fifty would be

0:05:20.640 --> 0:05:23.719
<v Speaker 2>fifty percent. So percentiles are going to be really high.

0:05:24.200 --> 0:05:27.000
<v Speaker 2>Roman Anthony shouldn't have been available, And I understand the

0:05:27.000 --> 0:05:30.120
<v Speaker 2>frustration because people are they're kind of throwing it out

0:05:30.160 --> 0:05:32.240
<v Speaker 2>with Bubba right now. It's like, why the hell isn't

0:05:32.240 --> 0:05:35.479
<v Speaker 2>Bubba Chandler up agreed. I think everybody kind of agrees, like,

0:05:35.920 --> 0:05:38.680
<v Speaker 2>outside of the Pirates are kind of stank, why would

0:05:38.760 --> 0:05:40.720
<v Speaker 2>you not bring up one of the best pitchers in baseball,

0:05:40.839 --> 0:05:43.640
<v Speaker 2>let him kind of develop and at the major league level.

0:05:43.400 --> 0:05:43.840
<v Speaker 1>Like do that?

0:05:43.920 --> 0:05:47.040
<v Speaker 2>Why not do it? There's control, there's manipulation and stuff

0:05:47.080 --> 0:05:50.480
<v Speaker 2>like that. But at the same time, is as frustrating

0:05:50.480 --> 0:05:52.640
<v Speaker 2>as it is Bubba and Roman Anthony. That were the

0:05:52.640 --> 0:05:54.839
<v Speaker 2>ones where we just kind of continuously would just keep saying,

0:05:55.760 --> 0:05:57.680
<v Speaker 2>just get them. Just be the guy that has them.

0:05:57.680 --> 0:06:00.279
<v Speaker 2>If he's sitting out there, regardless of the format, just

0:06:00.440 --> 0:06:03.040
<v Speaker 2>have Roman Anthony. If you had to pick one rest

0:06:03.080 --> 0:06:06.640
<v Speaker 2>of season, Roman Anthony or Jack Cagle, on what side

0:06:06.640 --> 0:06:07.000
<v Speaker 2>are you on?

0:06:09.080 --> 0:06:12.320
<v Speaker 1>I would probably go slightly to Roman Anthony just because

0:06:12.320 --> 0:06:15.360
<v Speaker 1>I think he's gonna provide some speed and might be

0:06:15.400 --> 0:06:18.520
<v Speaker 1>actually decent speed. Twenty one steals in the miners last year.

0:06:18.520 --> 0:06:20.360
<v Speaker 1>He's got only three so far this year, which is

0:06:20.400 --> 0:06:22.880
<v Speaker 1>an amazing but he's attempted six of them, where with

0:06:23.040 --> 0:06:26.159
<v Speaker 1>Jack maybe we get a couple, maybe he's in the

0:06:26.160 --> 0:06:28.680
<v Speaker 1>two or three range, but the speed is definitely the separator.

0:06:28.680 --> 0:06:31.080
<v Speaker 1>With Roman Anthony. He is not going to hit for

0:06:31.120 --> 0:06:33.880
<v Speaker 1>as much power probably as Jack is, but still somebody

0:06:33.920 --> 0:06:36.760
<v Speaker 1>that could go for about fifteen rest of season, and

0:06:36.800 --> 0:06:39.560
<v Speaker 1>he's also in a much better lineup. Kansas City's lineup

0:06:39.560 --> 0:06:43.200
<v Speaker 1>has been atrocious the entire year. I mentioned Boston just

0:06:43.200 --> 0:06:45.160
<v Speaker 1>over the last month as the twelfth ranked offense in

0:06:45.200 --> 0:06:48.040
<v Speaker 1>the league. Kansas City is twenty seventh. The only teams

0:06:48.040 --> 0:06:50.719
<v Speaker 1>worse in that span are San Francisco, Texas and the

0:06:50.760 --> 0:06:53.720
<v Speaker 1>lowly Rockies. So from a lineup standpoint from a well

0:06:53.800 --> 0:06:57.240
<v Speaker 1>rounded fantasy aspect point of view, I think Anthony is

0:06:57.240 --> 0:06:59.640
<v Speaker 1>the one who's gonna provide more in terms ofcounting stats, steals,

0:06:59.680 --> 0:07:01.880
<v Speaker 1>batting average. I think he is the guy.

0:07:02.279 --> 0:07:05.159
<v Speaker 2>I think there's definitely the possibility. The only thing he

0:07:05.240 --> 0:07:07.280
<v Speaker 2>wonder is if he can ever like move up the lineup,

0:07:07.360 --> 0:07:10.040
<v Speaker 2>you know, because like Bregman's gonna come back, and William's

0:07:10.080 --> 0:07:11.520
<v Speaker 2>going to come back, and if there's a right hand

0:07:11.600 --> 0:07:13.760
<v Speaker 2>or Willie's going to go higher. So it kind of

0:07:13.800 --> 0:07:16.080
<v Speaker 2>feels like Anthony might be destined to be hitting somewhere

0:07:16.120 --> 0:07:19.600
<v Speaker 2>between five and seven across the board. How much wiggle

0:07:19.680 --> 0:07:21.960
<v Speaker 2>room are they willing to give? You know, he had

0:07:22.040 --> 0:07:24.600
<v Speaker 2>some stuff on him coming into this year where you know,

0:07:24.640 --> 0:07:28.520
<v Speaker 2>there were questions about change ups and off speed, like

0:07:28.560 --> 0:07:29.840
<v Speaker 2>how is he going to adjust to that? From a

0:07:29.920 --> 0:07:33.000
<v Speaker 2>major league perspective, looks like in Triple A, he's really

0:07:33.080 --> 0:07:36.160
<v Speaker 2>kind of, you know, answered the call. He had an

0:07:36.160 --> 0:07:39.360
<v Speaker 2>incredible May June was a little it's very short sample size,

0:07:39.400 --> 0:07:42.400
<v Speaker 2>but a little but you know, really great exo velocities

0:07:42.440 --> 0:07:44.600
<v Speaker 2>he strikes. It just hit like almost five hundred footer

0:07:44.880 --> 0:07:47.320
<v Speaker 2>this weekend. So it's exciting to see and the ballpark

0:07:47.400 --> 0:07:50.160
<v Speaker 2>is a really big advantage. The thing with cagleone that

0:07:50.280 --> 0:07:53.720
<v Speaker 2>jumps out to me is that, like even I know

0:07:53.800 --> 0:07:56.080
<v Speaker 2>it's like short sample sides like a week now, but

0:07:56.200 --> 0:07:59.960
<v Speaker 2>sixteen percent k percentage, he's finding his own big hardhit.

0:08:00.400 --> 0:08:03.120
<v Speaker 2>I mean of one thirteen's left and right. I know

0:08:03.200 --> 0:08:05.520
<v Speaker 2>his average isn't quite there yet, but like he just said,

0:08:05.680 --> 0:08:07.480
<v Speaker 2>was at four for four night, I really feel like

0:08:07.480 --> 0:08:09.560
<v Speaker 2>he's coming into his own. He's gonna hit the ball

0:08:09.720 --> 0:08:12.400
<v Speaker 2>really hard. I'm actually not sure that Roman Anthony beats

0:08:12.440 --> 0:08:15.760
<v Speaker 2>him in a five category if you look at it

0:08:15.760 --> 0:08:19.400
<v Speaker 2>from that perspective, like a five category breakdown, but Roman

0:08:19.400 --> 0:08:22.120
<v Speaker 2>Anthony might be really really well rounded in that ballpark

0:08:22.200 --> 0:08:24.240
<v Speaker 2>might help. So I'm a little bit worried about maybe

0:08:24.280 --> 0:08:26.560
<v Speaker 2>some chase and miss stuff. But like the only reason

0:08:26.560 --> 0:08:30.360
<v Speaker 2>I'm asking this is, do you think this is a

0:08:30.440 --> 0:08:32.400
<v Speaker 2>prime time to try to go and trade Roman Anthony?

0:08:32.559 --> 0:08:35.800
<v Speaker 2>Right now? He's up, he's hot, people are excited. He's

0:08:35.840 --> 0:08:38.079
<v Speaker 2>going to revamp this offense. Like, do you think the

0:08:38.200 --> 0:08:44.880
<v Speaker 2>production will warrant not moving him for let's say say

0:08:45.000 --> 0:08:49.080
<v Speaker 2>like a SP thirty or twenty even twenty five, twenty

0:08:49.120 --> 0:08:51.199
<v Speaker 2>five to thirty five sp in that market, do you

0:08:51.280 --> 0:08:55.000
<v Speaker 2>think his production will outweigh making a move.

0:08:55.040 --> 0:08:58.920
<v Speaker 1>Like that, I could get the SP twenty five for

0:08:59.080 --> 0:09:02.839
<v Speaker 1>Anthony or for Jack. I would be willing to do it,

0:09:03.000 --> 0:09:05.720
<v Speaker 1>just because we know the struggles that rookies go through,

0:09:05.760 --> 0:09:08.800
<v Speaker 1>whether it's immediately with like a Matt Shaw situation, or

0:09:08.840 --> 0:09:10.880
<v Speaker 1>maybe they hit the ground running and then they struggle

0:09:10.920 --> 0:09:13.320
<v Speaker 1>a little bit like Christian Campbell, I think if you're

0:09:13.360 --> 0:09:15.199
<v Speaker 1>taking something that is more of a sure thing like

0:09:15.280 --> 0:09:17.920
<v Speaker 1>the SP twenty five this year is Freddy Peralta to

0:09:18.040 --> 0:09:20.520
<v Speaker 1>date and the guys in that range are Sonny Gray,

0:09:20.640 --> 0:09:24.440
<v Speaker 1>Mackenzie Gore, Clay Holmes, Jack Flaherty. If I could move

0:09:24.559 --> 0:09:26.560
<v Speaker 1>off of one of these guys based on the hype

0:09:26.600 --> 0:09:29.439
<v Speaker 1>and get somebody like that back, Spencer Schwellenbach also in

0:09:29.559 --> 0:09:33.800
<v Speaker 1>that range, like I would be looking to do that.

0:09:33.920 --> 0:09:37.040
<v Speaker 1>There is always the hype. It doesn't usually match up

0:09:37.080 --> 0:09:39.319
<v Speaker 1>to the production when it comes to these rookies, and

0:09:39.440 --> 0:09:41.520
<v Speaker 1>it comes to stashers in general. You're holding a guy

0:09:41.600 --> 0:09:44.520
<v Speaker 1>you're expecting the moon. And then I had a question

0:09:44.679 --> 0:09:46.920
<v Speaker 1>last week about after like three days, should I drop

0:09:47.040 --> 0:09:48.800
<v Speaker 1>Jack in a shallow league people just don't have the

0:09:48.880 --> 0:09:51.079
<v Speaker 1>patience for the ups and downs of these rookies a

0:09:51.120 --> 0:09:53.280
<v Speaker 1>lot of the time. So if you're able to capitalize

0:09:53.320 --> 0:09:55.520
<v Speaker 1>on the hype and you're able to move one of

0:09:55.559 --> 0:09:57.679
<v Speaker 1>these guys for a top twenty five or thirty sp

0:09:58.200 --> 0:09:59.800
<v Speaker 1>it depends on the roster a little bit, but I

0:10:00.000 --> 0:10:01.559
<v Speaker 1>would be absolutely willing to do that.

0:10:01.840 --> 0:10:05.839
<v Speaker 2>Also, there's no necessary guarantees at this moment, which is

0:10:05.840 --> 0:10:07.559
<v Speaker 2>something're gonna have to watch for. You know, they only

0:10:07.600 --> 0:10:09.959
<v Speaker 2>did this because William went on the IL. Is this

0:10:10.120 --> 0:10:11.959
<v Speaker 2>going to be a stop gap thing? Or is this

0:10:12.120 --> 0:10:13.960
<v Speaker 2>going to be like, you know, they get to they're

0:10:13.960 --> 0:10:16.880
<v Speaker 2>getting a cheap look and then a move is gonna

0:10:16.920 --> 0:10:18.360
<v Speaker 2>have to you know, like, what's gonna happen William comes

0:10:18.400 --> 0:10:20.760
<v Speaker 2>off the IL. Are they going to make room like, oh,

0:10:20.800 --> 0:10:23.440
<v Speaker 2>Anthony's here, He's got to do it. Or are they

0:10:23.480 --> 0:10:25.760
<v Speaker 2>going to have to move off of a of a Duran?

0:10:26.080 --> 0:10:27.280
<v Speaker 2>You know, are they gonna have to send down a

0:10:27.360 --> 0:10:29.680
<v Speaker 2>Christian Campbell who has just kind of had his struggles.

0:10:29.720 --> 0:10:31.680
<v Speaker 2>So those are It's all interesting questions. At the end

0:10:31.720 --> 0:10:32.880
<v Speaker 2>of the day, I don't want to take away from

0:10:32.960 --> 0:10:35.640
<v Speaker 2>like it's super exciting. It's super exciting when the top

0:10:35.720 --> 0:10:38.600
<v Speaker 2>prospects come up. I think it's hard to judge positively

0:10:38.679 --> 0:10:41.000
<v Speaker 2>or negatively after one week on any of these guys,

0:10:41.080 --> 0:10:43.959
<v Speaker 2>So just make sure you're in the market to manage it,

0:10:44.040 --> 0:10:46.280
<v Speaker 2>you know what I mean. We have questions from the audience.

0:10:46.720 --> 0:10:48.600
<v Speaker 2>Some it looks like there might be a Roman Anthony

0:10:48.679 --> 0:10:50.599
<v Speaker 2>one or two in there that I want to get to.

0:10:50.720 --> 0:10:52.920
<v Speaker 2>I want to finish up this last first topic. Then

0:10:52.960 --> 0:10:54.480
<v Speaker 2>we'll get to some questions, and we got a couple

0:10:54.520 --> 0:10:57.120
<v Speaker 2>other things to hit. Here's here's what I was very

0:10:57.160 --> 0:11:01.239
<v Speaker 2>curious about in this same vein how how many prospects

0:11:01.360 --> 0:11:05.840
<v Speaker 2>do you currently think I'm gonna use the must own term?

0:11:06.080 --> 0:11:09.199
<v Speaker 2>Let's think in like twelve team must own to like

0:11:09.320 --> 0:11:14.800
<v Speaker 2>you should own, and then that's gonna tell us who's expendable. Obviously,

0:11:14.920 --> 0:11:18.280
<v Speaker 2>there are players that like league pending and stuff. You know,

0:11:18.360 --> 0:11:19.880
<v Speaker 2>you're not gonna cut this guy, cut this guy. But

0:11:19.920 --> 0:11:24.160
<v Speaker 2>I'm curious that, like, how many we really think are

0:11:24.640 --> 0:11:28.920
<v Speaker 2>no doubters? Jacob Wilson no doubter, absolute, no doubt, Rookie

0:11:28.920 --> 0:11:31.560
<v Speaker 2>of the Year al minus five hundred. Right now he's

0:11:31.840 --> 0:11:34.120
<v Speaker 2>hitting the world even though he doesn't counting stats. Absolute,

0:11:34.200 --> 0:11:35.240
<v Speaker 2>no doubt or correct.

0:11:36.800 --> 0:11:39.040
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, Jacob Wilson's fantastic. He's brilliant.

0:11:39.320 --> 0:11:42.839
<v Speaker 2>Jason Dimingez relative no doubt. I'm not sure he's like

0:11:43.600 --> 0:11:47.000
<v Speaker 2>must must must own, but I mean, I guess I

0:11:47.160 --> 0:11:49.800
<v Speaker 2>I should probably pull up the stuff. But what is

0:11:49.880 --> 0:11:52.959
<v Speaker 2>your initial reaction to Jason Dimingez. He's hitting two thirty six,

0:11:53.040 --> 0:11:56.560
<v Speaker 2>six homers, eight stolen bases. We know this sky high potential.

0:11:57.400 --> 0:12:02.320
<v Speaker 2>Is he in that twelve team must own territory? Yeah?

0:12:02.679 --> 0:12:04.959
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, he's like on the on the cusp. For me,

0:12:05.120 --> 0:12:07.360
<v Speaker 1>I don't think if we're talking redraft that he is

0:12:07.440 --> 0:12:10.120
<v Speaker 1>somebody that I'm really hugging in the super shallow leagues.

0:12:10.480 --> 0:12:12.160
<v Speaker 1>If it's a ten or at twelve team league where

0:12:12.200 --> 0:12:14.800
<v Speaker 1>you start three outfielders, let's see.

0:12:14.720 --> 0:12:16.959
<v Speaker 2>Field twelve team. I want to think in those terms

0:12:16.960 --> 0:12:18.920
<v Speaker 2>because I think we could justify almost anybody could be

0:12:18.960 --> 0:12:21.680
<v Speaker 2>cutting those ten teams. So let's go five outfield twelve team.

0:12:22.559 --> 0:12:23.359
<v Speaker 2>We're keeping.

0:12:24.760 --> 0:12:28.400
<v Speaker 1>Right, probably, probably, but I don't know that. It's the

0:12:28.480 --> 0:12:31.440
<v Speaker 1>thing that I like. He has six home runs all year,

0:12:31.480 --> 0:12:33.679
<v Speaker 1>three of them came in that one game in that

0:12:33.920 --> 0:12:39.079
<v Speaker 1>stadium in Sacramento. Strikeout rate is thirty plus percent. You know,

0:12:39.240 --> 0:12:41.360
<v Speaker 1>the speed has been okay, he's got eight steals, but

0:12:41.640 --> 0:12:44.079
<v Speaker 1>it's not been like game changing speed. He hasn't been

0:12:44.160 --> 0:12:46.600
<v Speaker 1>He hasn't done a ton, even in a great offense,

0:12:46.640 --> 0:12:49.600
<v Speaker 1>he hasn't really been amazing. So is he a top

0:12:49.720 --> 0:12:53.160
<v Speaker 1>sixty outfielder. He probably is. But if there is a

0:12:53.240 --> 0:12:55.960
<v Speaker 1>guy sitting on the waiver wire, that is a really

0:12:56.200 --> 0:12:58.480
<v Speaker 1>really solid option for you. Like if you had Roman

0:12:58.480 --> 0:13:00.839
<v Speaker 1>Anthony sitting on the waiver wire, I wouldn't mind dropping

0:13:00.840 --> 0:13:02.520
<v Speaker 1>to Mangas for him. That might be a hot take,

0:13:02.600 --> 0:13:04.079
<v Speaker 1>but that's kind of where I'm at with them.

0:13:04.320 --> 0:13:07.520
<v Speaker 2>I think that's fine. All right, Roman Anthony, we're gonna say,

0:13:07.960 --> 0:13:11.440
<v Speaker 2>you know, at this moment, he is cag leone, right,

0:13:11.520 --> 0:13:13.920
<v Speaker 2>We're gonna throw CAGs into like that must own ish

0:13:14.040 --> 0:13:18.520
<v Speaker 2>territory you need to own, right, Yeah, Okay, now some

0:13:18.640 --> 0:13:21.720
<v Speaker 2>bigger questions. I think this is an interesting one, Nick Kurtz,

0:13:23.880 --> 0:13:26.160
<v Speaker 2>he started to pick up before he got hurt. He's rehabbing.

0:13:26.200 --> 0:13:29.000
<v Speaker 2>It looks like he's really close, Nick Kurtz. Is he

0:13:29.320 --> 0:13:30.680
<v Speaker 2>in that must own territory?

0:13:32.160 --> 0:13:34.120
<v Speaker 1>I think he is. Yeah. I believe he's gonna be

0:13:34.160 --> 0:13:37.160
<v Speaker 1>back this week based on what I've seen. The strikeout

0:13:37.200 --> 0:13:39.200
<v Speaker 1>rates still a little bit concerning, but we're talking twenty

0:13:39.240 --> 0:13:41.240
<v Speaker 1>eight games. He, like you mentioned, he had started to

0:13:41.240 --> 0:13:43.840
<v Speaker 1>pick things up before he got hurt. So I would

0:13:43.840 --> 0:13:46.120
<v Speaker 1>be holding Kurts, especially as we enter into the summer

0:13:46.200 --> 0:13:49.200
<v Speaker 1>months in Sacramento, like we might see see some serious

0:13:49.200 --> 0:13:50.559
<v Speaker 1>power production out of Nick Kurtz.

0:13:50.800 --> 0:13:53.400
<v Speaker 2>Okay, so we've got five guys right now, and it's

0:13:53.480 --> 0:14:00.199
<v Speaker 2>not that expensive. Marcelo, yeah, your name Phil.

0:14:00.880 --> 0:14:03.719
<v Speaker 1>I like him. I like Marcelo Mayor. I don't like

0:14:03.800 --> 0:14:05.240
<v Speaker 1>the way that the Red Sox are kind of doing

0:14:05.320 --> 0:14:06.839
<v Speaker 1>this with pinch hitting him and playing him at a

0:14:06.840 --> 0:14:09.240
<v Speaker 1>position and all this stuff. I don't really love it

0:14:09.400 --> 0:14:12.240
<v Speaker 1>so much. But yeah, he is worth holding for now

0:14:12.360 --> 0:14:12.680
<v Speaker 1>for sure.

0:14:12.760 --> 0:14:14.679
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, so you think he belongs in that territory

0:14:16.160 --> 0:14:20.160
<v Speaker 2>for now? I mean, I just understand this. This You

0:14:20.240 --> 0:14:22.160
<v Speaker 2>don't we don't have to have everybody. That's fine if

0:14:22.160 --> 0:14:23.680
<v Speaker 2>he is, but I don't want you. I'm not goading

0:14:23.760 --> 0:14:25.840
<v Speaker 2>you into making all these players in there. But we

0:14:25.920 --> 0:14:29.040
<v Speaker 2>can put him in the mustone twelve team category right.

0:14:28.960 --> 0:14:32.120
<v Speaker 1>Now, for now, for now. But I wouldn't hesitate to

0:14:32.200 --> 0:14:34.000
<v Speaker 1>drop him if we're two weeks from now and he

0:14:34.040 --> 0:14:36.040
<v Speaker 1>has two hits in that timeframe or something, like that

0:14:36.160 --> 0:14:37.760
<v Speaker 1>he's not somebody that I'm just holding and holding and

0:14:37.840 --> 0:14:39.400
<v Speaker 1>hoping out for while he's in the middle of the

0:14:39.440 --> 0:14:42.080
<v Speaker 1>Red Sox lineup, playing pretty much every day. Then yeah,

0:14:42.240 --> 0:14:43.720
<v Speaker 1>but I'm not married.

0:14:43.520 --> 0:14:44.840
<v Speaker 2>To him cam Smith.

0:14:47.880 --> 0:14:50.320
<v Speaker 1>I need to take a quick peek at cam Smith

0:14:50.360 --> 0:14:51.120
<v Speaker 1>because I think.

0:14:52.800 --> 0:14:54.320
<v Speaker 2>I want to blow through the rest of these ones.

0:14:54.400 --> 0:14:59.120
<v Speaker 1>But initially three homers, I don't think he's mustone. No,

0:14:59.320 --> 0:15:00.960
<v Speaker 1>I wouldn't say Stone and a twelve.

0:15:00.760 --> 0:15:04.080
<v Speaker 2>Teamer Chandler Simpson, even though he's in triple A right now,

0:15:04.200 --> 0:15:06.760
<v Speaker 2>those stolen bases, but he's not here.

0:15:06.920 --> 0:15:10.080
<v Speaker 1>If you can afford to hold him, then I don't

0:15:10.120 --> 0:15:12.720
<v Speaker 1>mind holding him. But I don't think that he is

0:15:12.840 --> 0:15:15.520
<v Speaker 1>somebody like if you're in eighth place fighting for your life,

0:15:15.560 --> 0:15:18.000
<v Speaker 1>that he's a mustache. If you're in first or second

0:15:18.120 --> 0:15:19.960
<v Speaker 1>or third and you're a team that could still use

0:15:19.960 --> 0:15:21.400
<v Speaker 1>a little bit of speed, I think he'll be back

0:15:21.440 --> 0:15:23.120
<v Speaker 1>up at some point. But I think it's kind of

0:15:23.160 --> 0:15:25.920
<v Speaker 1>a situational thing with Chandler Simpson. I'd try to hold

0:15:25.960 --> 0:15:26.280
<v Speaker 1>if you can.

0:15:26.840 --> 0:15:29.400
<v Speaker 2>I don't think like the new guys like Kyle Teal,

0:15:29.520 --> 0:15:31.880
<v Speaker 2>Ryan River, Auto Camp, is there anybody else in forgetting

0:15:31.960 --> 0:15:35.520
<v Speaker 2>in the rookie space that's kind of like here that

0:15:35.640 --> 0:15:37.720
<v Speaker 2>you like. I don't think Jackson job. Is there anybody

0:15:37.720 --> 0:15:40.680
<v Speaker 2>else that warrants the question that you can think of

0:15:40.760 --> 0:15:42.560
<v Speaker 2>that I'm forgetting, no.

0:15:42.640 --> 0:15:44.640
<v Speaker 1>But I really like Kyle Teal. I think that he's

0:15:44.680 --> 0:15:45.960
<v Speaker 1>going to be really, really cool.

0:15:45.960 --> 0:15:48.440
<v Speaker 2>Do you think he belongs in this conversation.

0:15:49.720 --> 0:15:52.200
<v Speaker 1>Depends on who you're rolling out as your catcher, But

0:15:52.440 --> 0:15:55.040
<v Speaker 1>I think I think he's on the cusp of of

0:15:55.120 --> 0:15:57.520
<v Speaker 1>twelve team viability just given that he's going to play

0:15:57.560 --> 0:15:59.840
<v Speaker 1>a lot the on bas skills, the speed from behind

0:15:59.840 --> 0:16:02.400
<v Speaker 1>the play. I think he's I'm going to redo rankings

0:16:02.440 --> 0:16:05.200
<v Speaker 1>in the next week, but he's probably around that twelve

0:16:05.280 --> 0:16:07.120
<v Speaker 1>or thirteen mark for me. So I think it's dependent

0:16:07.160 --> 0:16:09.120
<v Speaker 1>on who you got right now, But I think he's

0:16:09.160 --> 0:16:11.160
<v Speaker 1>worth picking up in a lot of plays. So certainly,

0:16:11.160 --> 0:16:12.640
<v Speaker 1>if you're in a two catcher league, go pick him

0:16:12.680 --> 0:16:13.120
<v Speaker 1>up right away.

0:16:13.240 --> 0:16:16.520
<v Speaker 2>What about like Cad Horton, Zebbi Matthews, do any of

0:16:16.600 --> 0:16:18.960
<v Speaker 2>those belonging there? And Ha, Zebbie just got hurt.

0:16:19.840 --> 0:16:22.400
<v Speaker 1>Zebbie just got hurt. So him, I think it would

0:16:22.440 --> 0:16:25.040
<v Speaker 1>be a little bit tougher depending on your team. Cad Horton,

0:16:25.200 --> 0:16:26.920
<v Speaker 1>I've been kind of impressed with I think that there

0:16:26.960 --> 0:16:29.120
<v Speaker 1>are some things he needs to work on. Still he's

0:16:29.160 --> 0:16:31.640
<v Speaker 1>not a fully finished product, but he's holding his own

0:16:32.040 --> 0:16:35.480
<v Speaker 1>to this point. I think that I would prefer to

0:16:35.560 --> 0:16:38.120
<v Speaker 1>hold Horton over Matthews, especially with the injury.

0:16:38.240 --> 0:16:39.880
<v Speaker 2>Okay, and there was some content and it wasn't even

0:16:39.920 --> 0:16:41.720
<v Speaker 2>about neither one of them. My main point of this

0:16:41.880 --> 0:16:44.200
<v Speaker 2>is like, how many prospects are really worth rostering as

0:16:44.280 --> 0:16:46.160
<v Speaker 2>of someone that liked prospects and talking. That's all this

0:16:46.320 --> 0:16:48.680
<v Speaker 2>experiment was. I feel like we maybe put more in.

0:16:49.120 --> 0:16:51.040
<v Speaker 2>I think some people might be a little bit more discerning,

0:16:51.120 --> 0:16:55.640
<v Speaker 2>but we put Wilson, Domingez, CAGs, Anthony Kurtz, Marcelo, and Horton.

0:16:55.920 --> 0:17:00.600
<v Speaker 2>There's seven and one pitcher, So is that what painter?

0:17:02.320 --> 0:17:04.320
<v Speaker 2>But he's not here. I don't think he's a must own.

0:17:04.440 --> 0:17:05.920
<v Speaker 2>We don't know when the hell he's coming up, and

0:17:06.160 --> 0:17:08.680
<v Speaker 2>that's you know, I would probably throw Bubba into this.

0:17:08.840 --> 0:17:10.920
<v Speaker 2>I guess if we're having the deeper conversation of like,

0:17:11.160 --> 0:17:13.280
<v Speaker 2>you just got to try to have him, so you

0:17:13.400 --> 0:17:16.120
<v Speaker 2>got two pictures, you've got whatever the hell that ended

0:17:16.200 --> 0:17:19.320
<v Speaker 2>up being five six hitters, that there's a decent amount

0:17:19.760 --> 0:17:21.480
<v Speaker 2>but then if you know, if you start pushing the

0:17:21.680 --> 0:17:24.960
<v Speaker 2>envelope here, if you really pushed it, like I think

0:17:25.240 --> 0:17:28.440
<v Speaker 2>Jacob Wilson, CAGs and Anthony are the three that like

0:17:28.720 --> 0:17:30.440
<v Speaker 2>would be at the very tippy top, and CAGs and

0:17:30.440 --> 0:17:33.120
<v Speaker 2>Anthony because of the sky high potential and not enough

0:17:33.760 --> 0:17:36.160
<v Speaker 2>time to tell us a story. Jacob Wilson has only

0:17:36.240 --> 0:17:38.320
<v Speaker 2>really been the only service one Christian Campbell I could

0:17:38.320 --> 0:17:40.080
<v Speaker 2>have put in there. Christian Campbell doesn't belong in it.

0:17:40.520 --> 0:17:44.239
<v Speaker 2>It's a bigger discussion just for people to remember when

0:17:44.280 --> 0:17:46.800
<v Speaker 2>you're making your moves of how many are really panning

0:17:46.880 --> 0:17:50.639
<v Speaker 2>out and hold that like you can't come off of

0:17:50.720 --> 0:17:54.080
<v Speaker 2>them range. Jacob Wilson's about it, truly about it, Like

0:17:54.200 --> 0:17:56.520
<v Speaker 2>Caggs and Anthony are super fun. The rest of the

0:17:56.560 --> 0:17:59.840
<v Speaker 2>guys have unfortunately kind of been failures or gets. You know,

0:18:00.000 --> 0:18:02.320
<v Speaker 2>Logan Henderson comes up and he's gone and he's back

0:18:02.400 --> 0:18:05.679
<v Speaker 2>down that you don't want to know site of your

0:18:05.800 --> 0:18:07.720
<v Speaker 2>roster to me, yeah lol or exactly. I mean, the

0:18:07.760 --> 0:18:09.520
<v Speaker 2>Dineback should blow it up soon. But there's only so

0:18:09.680 --> 0:18:12.240
<v Speaker 2>many that really belong And I think if we push

0:18:12.280 --> 0:18:16.080
<v Speaker 2>the envelope and we're a little bit more Picky. I

0:18:16.119 --> 0:18:19.560
<v Speaker 2>think this would have been Wilson Cag's Anthony, maybe Kertz,

0:18:19.920 --> 0:18:21.640
<v Speaker 2>and I'm not sure if anybody else would have really

0:18:21.680 --> 0:18:24.399
<v Speaker 2>fallen in that range. But you know, everyone listening can

0:18:24.960 --> 0:18:27.000
<v Speaker 2>kind of decide and let us know. You could also

0:18:27.119 --> 0:18:29.639
<v Speaker 2>let us decide and help us figure it out by

0:19:10.480 --> 0:19:14.120
<v Speaker 2>go to some listener questions we've got here? Gamova said,

0:19:14.160 --> 0:19:17.160
<v Speaker 2>what do we do with Bubba? He just by himself

0:19:17.280 --> 0:19:19.800
<v Speaker 2>in DOUBLEA. Now, yeah, he's the last of those guys.

0:19:19.880 --> 0:19:22.200
<v Speaker 2>I think I've kind of answered it. I think he's

0:19:22.320 --> 0:19:24.119
<v Speaker 2>just so at the tippy top of like what the

0:19:24.160 --> 0:19:27.560
<v Speaker 2>strikeout value and stuff can be that I want to hold.

0:19:27.840 --> 0:19:30.880
<v Speaker 2>But I also think he's vulnerable offense sucks. He's had

0:19:30.960 --> 0:19:35.120
<v Speaker 2>walk problems this year, you know, the must hold category.

0:19:35.119 --> 0:19:37.240
<v Speaker 2>I really didn't even put him into that, like really

0:19:37.359 --> 0:19:40.320
<v Speaker 2>really hardcore, like ten team one. But you should be

0:19:40.359 --> 0:19:42.199
<v Speaker 2>paying attention to him. Do you have any other feelings

0:19:42.240 --> 0:19:44.240
<v Speaker 2>about it? I know you've been You're not you're not

0:19:44.240 --> 0:19:45.960
<v Speaker 2>a prospect guy, and all you've probably been hearing is

0:19:45.960 --> 0:19:49.200
<v Speaker 2>Bubba Chandler, Bubba Chandler. He never comes up. Is he

0:19:49.359 --> 0:19:51.440
<v Speaker 2>someone that you actually think you need to stash or

0:19:51.480 --> 0:19:55.320
<v Speaker 2>if you've been stashing, could you possibly dump him for

0:19:55.960 --> 0:19:57.680
<v Speaker 2>a pseudo hot arm.

0:19:59.280 --> 0:20:01.320
<v Speaker 1>I don't think so, so, I think especially if you've

0:20:01.359 --> 0:20:04.320
<v Speaker 1>been holding. Yeah, I try to avoid the whole sunk

0:20:04.359 --> 0:20:07.520
<v Speaker 1>cost thing, but you've been holding him. If you drop

0:20:07.640 --> 0:20:09.280
<v Speaker 1>him right now, he's gonna get called up next week.

0:20:09.320 --> 0:20:11.240
<v Speaker 1>It's just the way that these things tend to work.

0:20:11.800 --> 0:20:15.320
<v Speaker 1>But at the same time, the wins are not going

0:20:15.400 --> 0:20:17.040
<v Speaker 1>to be there. I mean even in Triple A, they're

0:20:17.040 --> 0:20:19.320
<v Speaker 1>not even there. Twelve game twelve starts, two wins. But

0:20:19.359 --> 0:20:22.520
<v Speaker 1>look look at Paul Skins, right every time out, he's

0:20:22.600 --> 0:20:25.720
<v Speaker 1>going seven innings, six to two thirds, seven and two thirds, whatever,

0:20:25.760 --> 0:20:28.000
<v Speaker 1>and he never gets any run support. He never gets

0:20:28.000 --> 0:20:30.840
<v Speaker 1>any wins. And I worry a little bit that Bubba's

0:20:30.840 --> 0:20:32.639
<v Speaker 1>gonna come up and they're gonna have some kid gloves

0:20:32.640 --> 0:20:34.840
<v Speaker 1>with him. Initially, maybe we don't see him going six

0:20:34.880 --> 0:20:37.040
<v Speaker 1>to seven innings, and the win potential is going to

0:20:37.080 --> 0:20:38.320
<v Speaker 1>be the same, if not even a little bit worse,

0:20:38.320 --> 0:20:40.600
<v Speaker 1>because he'll have less control over his own destiny, having

0:20:40.640 --> 0:20:43.359
<v Speaker 1>to rely probably more on the pen than Skins is.

0:20:43.400 --> 0:20:45.600
<v Speaker 1>At this point, I don't see them bringing up Chandler

0:20:45.640 --> 0:20:47.960
<v Speaker 1>and having him go seven innings every time, So the

0:20:48.080 --> 0:20:51.080
<v Speaker 1>wins are probably not going to be there. But other

0:20:51.200 --> 0:20:53.800
<v Speaker 1>than that, just based on the profile we've seen at

0:20:53.800 --> 0:20:55.359
<v Speaker 1>Triple A, he seems like the kind of guy who

0:20:55.359 --> 0:20:58.280
<v Speaker 1>can come up and have immediate success. And even Paul

0:20:58.359 --> 0:20:59.959
<v Speaker 1>Skans and we're looking at what he did last year,

0:21:00.040 --> 0:21:03.760
<v Speaker 1>I mean one ninety six era point nine to five

0:21:03.840 --> 0:21:06.320
<v Speaker 1>whip are not going to happen. Probably that was a

0:21:06.480 --> 0:21:08.680
<v Speaker 1>charmed rookie season. But I think that Bubba can be

0:21:08.760 --> 0:21:11.640
<v Speaker 1>somewhere in the three type of ra with a one

0:21:11.640 --> 0:21:15.000
<v Speaker 1>to ten or so whip and that's valuable even if

0:21:15.040 --> 0:21:18.080
<v Speaker 1>it's not coming with victories. Those ratios are so hard

0:21:18.160 --> 0:21:20.440
<v Speaker 1>to find, so hard to come by on the waiver wire.

0:21:20.960 --> 0:21:23.520
<v Speaker 1>So I'm holding Chandler. I think it's only a matter

0:21:23.600 --> 0:21:25.200
<v Speaker 1>of time. I know we've been saying that for a

0:21:25.280 --> 0:21:27.680
<v Speaker 1>long long time, but every day that goes by, it

0:21:27.760 --> 0:21:29.600
<v Speaker 1>means we're one day closer to Bubba Chandler. At the

0:21:29.680 --> 0:21:31.000
<v Speaker 1>end of the day, they're not going to keep him

0:21:31.000 --> 0:21:33.119
<v Speaker 1>down the entirety of the season. He will come up

0:21:33.119 --> 0:21:35.440
<v Speaker 1>at some point. And now we're pushing the halfway point

0:21:35.480 --> 0:21:37.959
<v Speaker 1>of the year. It's got to be any week now.

0:21:38.320 --> 0:21:40.040
<v Speaker 1>And I think if you're holding, you still got to

0:21:40.080 --> 0:21:42.680
<v Speaker 1>continue to hold unless you see some crazy name sitting

0:21:42.720 --> 0:21:45.040
<v Speaker 1>on the wire, But I think you got to hold them.

0:21:45.359 --> 0:21:47.399
<v Speaker 2>If you've held this long, what are you doing, Like,

0:21:47.880 --> 0:21:50.719
<v Speaker 2>this is not the time to now you don't make

0:21:50.760 --> 0:21:52.840
<v Speaker 2>the cut. I think he could also go the way

0:21:52.880 --> 0:21:54.920
<v Speaker 2>of like Jared Jones and Jared Jones had an incredible

0:21:54.960 --> 0:21:57.920
<v Speaker 2>first half, things did come back down to earth. Also

0:21:58.040 --> 0:22:00.560
<v Speaker 2>kind of a fastball slidery guy, but one of the

0:22:00.600 --> 0:22:03.440
<v Speaker 2>best graded fastballs in all the minor league. I'm I'm

0:22:03.520 --> 0:22:05.119
<v Speaker 2>here for it. I think you need to hold and

0:22:05.960 --> 0:22:08.080
<v Speaker 2>try to make do, especially because you've done so so far.

0:22:08.240 --> 0:22:10.040
<v Speaker 2>And if he's out there, go pick him up. A

0:22:10.400 --> 0:22:15.119
<v Speaker 2>game said what, No, this is how sorry? Would you

0:22:15.280 --> 0:22:19.160
<v Speaker 2>rather trade away Machado or Camonaro, both using up third

0:22:19.200 --> 0:22:21.560
<v Speaker 2>base and util so I think we would probably both

0:22:21.640 --> 0:22:23.919
<v Speaker 2>quickly answer, don't do either regardless. But if you had

0:22:24.000 --> 0:22:26.000
<v Speaker 2>to trade one, who you're trading Machado or Camonaro.

0:22:27.000 --> 0:22:29.160
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, you struck gold with these two. I wouldn't trade

0:22:29.200 --> 0:22:32.280
<v Speaker 1>either unless you got blown away. I guess I would

0:22:32.359 --> 0:22:34.840
<v Speaker 1>maybe move Machado just because he's older and more things

0:22:34.920 --> 0:22:38.000
<v Speaker 1>can pop up. But I think you're just holding unless

0:22:38.000 --> 0:22:39.320
<v Speaker 1>somebody really knocks your socks off.

0:22:40.040 --> 0:22:42.520
<v Speaker 2>I feel like I'm moving camon Aro in this one.

0:22:42.640 --> 0:22:45.760
<v Speaker 2>I think Camanaro might have as much value as Machado,

0:22:45.960 --> 0:22:48.760
<v Speaker 2>and maybe even a tiny bit more in some circles

0:22:49.320 --> 0:22:52.280
<v Speaker 2>for redraft. This is not a dynasty thing in redraft,

0:22:52.760 --> 0:22:54.560
<v Speaker 2>and I know exactly what I'm getting out of Machado,

0:22:54.680 --> 0:22:56.560
<v Speaker 2>especially when they're going to start getting into like a

0:22:56.760 --> 0:22:59.480
<v Speaker 2>really tight Pennant race and stuff like, I think I

0:22:59.600 --> 0:23:02.520
<v Speaker 2>want to bank on Machada. The ballpark does favor Cam

0:23:02.680 --> 0:23:05.000
<v Speaker 2>and Arrow more, but I'm I'm gonna say I keep

0:23:05.040 --> 0:23:06.880
<v Speaker 2>Machado and try to get a haul for Cameron Arow.

0:23:07.000 --> 0:23:08.320
<v Speaker 2>You're on the other side, and that's so cool.

0:23:09.000 --> 0:23:10.920
<v Speaker 1>The only thing that worries me is just that he

0:23:11.040 --> 0:23:12.760
<v Speaker 1>has a little bit of an injury history at this

0:23:13.160 --> 0:23:15.600
<v Speaker 1>point and he's like ten years older. But what you're

0:23:15.640 --> 0:23:17.120
<v Speaker 1>saying makes sense, Yeah.

0:23:17.400 --> 0:23:20.240
<v Speaker 2>A career kick had. This is kind of that Roman

0:23:20.280 --> 0:23:23.359
<v Speaker 2>Anthony stuff and we'd already talked about it, but mentions Willier,

0:23:23.760 --> 0:23:26.000
<v Speaker 2>thinking is Roman up for good or is this dependent

0:23:26.080 --> 0:23:28.879
<v Speaker 2>on how he does while Williers on the shelf. I

0:23:28.920 --> 0:23:31.560
<v Speaker 2>think it's a little bit of that. I don't think. Yeah,

0:23:31.960 --> 0:23:36.320
<v Speaker 2>Williams's not gonna be the expense of his playing time.

0:23:36.359 --> 0:23:38.760
<v Speaker 2>Williams is not gonna go away unless they did decide

0:23:38.800 --> 0:23:40.320
<v Speaker 2>to move him or trade him, which I kind of

0:23:40.400 --> 0:23:42.440
<v Speaker 2>just don't think they will, even though I know he's

0:23:42.440 --> 0:23:45.880
<v Speaker 2>popped up as well. But like, if Roman is awesome,

0:23:46.760 --> 0:23:49.560
<v Speaker 2>they're gonna have to make a serious decision. I would lie.

0:23:49.640 --> 0:23:52.480
<v Speaker 2>I at this point think I know it's dangerous to

0:23:52.520 --> 0:23:55.639
<v Speaker 2>have lots of prospects. You gotta you gotta get rid

0:23:55.680 --> 0:23:59.200
<v Speaker 2>of Trevor's story. Like Trevor story is, he's falling down.

0:23:59.600 --> 0:24:02.760
<v Speaker 2>Let me go be your third baseman or i'm sorry,

0:24:02.760 --> 0:24:05.879
<v Speaker 2>your shortstop, and let Campbell be your second baseman. And

0:24:05.960 --> 0:24:08.600
<v Speaker 2>then you've got Anthony and wrote right field you're golden,

0:24:09.000 --> 0:24:11.399
<v Speaker 2>and will You can be your DH and you can

0:24:11.520 --> 0:24:13.640
<v Speaker 2>just play between those things. That's what i'd like to see.

0:24:13.640 --> 0:24:14.960
<v Speaker 2>I don't know if they'll do it, but if Roman

0:24:14.960 --> 0:24:18.320
<v Speaker 2>Anthony struggles, guess what built an excuse? When Will You's back?

0:24:18.400 --> 0:24:20.720
<v Speaker 2>If he's awesome, then they're gonna have to make a

0:24:20.760 --> 0:24:23.080
<v Speaker 2>tough decision somewhere, whether it's maybe they know they have

0:24:23.119 --> 0:24:26.119
<v Speaker 2>a trade looming, or you know, DFA a Trevor story

0:24:26.359 --> 0:24:29.479
<v Speaker 2>or what the hell ever? You know, Abraham Torro has

0:24:29.480 --> 0:24:31.600
<v Speaker 2>been playing well, but maybe you cut bait on one

0:24:31.640 --> 0:24:38.280
<v Speaker 2>of Roman or a Rome I'm sorry, Romy Gonzales or Toro,

0:24:38.760 --> 0:24:40.480
<v Speaker 2>and then you move Trevor story over to be in

0:24:40.560 --> 0:24:42.919
<v Speaker 2>some first base platoon. So they'll find a way they

0:24:43.000 --> 0:24:44.800
<v Speaker 2>want to find a way. They'll they'll find it, and

0:24:44.840 --> 0:24:46.520
<v Speaker 2>I think that's been the most frustrating thing of why

0:24:46.560 --> 0:24:48.639
<v Speaker 2>he's not up. Do you have anything else outside of that?

0:24:49.920 --> 0:24:52.320
<v Speaker 1>I think if I was running the team, I'm giving

0:24:52.359 --> 0:24:54.320
<v Speaker 1>Devers a first base club and I'm saying, you're playing

0:24:54.359 --> 0:24:56.840
<v Speaker 1>first base. Toro's done, and then you'll do that. He's

0:24:56.880 --> 0:24:59.760
<v Speaker 1>already he refuses, what are they gonna do? What does

0:24:59.760 --> 0:25:00.240
<v Speaker 1>he get to do?

0:25:00.480 --> 0:25:04.320
<v Speaker 2>Like or maybe they've lightly I don't mean to cut off.

0:25:04.760 --> 0:25:07.879
<v Speaker 2>They have said he's not interested in it, and I

0:25:07.960 --> 0:25:10.400
<v Speaker 2>think he had mentioned in the past if they were,

0:25:10.480 --> 0:25:13.080
<v Speaker 2>like if they forced him to, he would, But they've

0:25:13.200 --> 0:25:17.160
<v Speaker 2>come to him and he's like, nope, So that's the problem.

0:25:17.280 --> 0:25:20.119
<v Speaker 2>Like they they obviously do not want to be the

0:25:20.200 --> 0:25:22.320
<v Speaker 2>team that forces a player to do it, especially when

0:25:22.359 --> 0:25:26.120
<v Speaker 2>you have someone so unwilling to be helpful for your team.

0:25:27.440 --> 0:25:30.000
<v Speaker 1>It's just so baffling to me, Like that would solve

0:25:30.040 --> 0:25:31.960
<v Speaker 1>all the problems pretty much, you know, and then you

0:25:32.000 --> 0:25:36.080
<v Speaker 1>can rotate those four outfielders around with the age spot.

0:25:36.160 --> 0:25:38.919
<v Speaker 1>It just makes so much sense. Story as well, I mean,

0:25:39.000 --> 0:25:41.120
<v Speaker 1>Story hasn't done really. I think he's had a couple

0:25:41.200 --> 0:25:44.000
<v Speaker 1>of decent games lately, but for the season as a whole.

0:25:44.080 --> 0:25:46.800
<v Speaker 1>He has a sixty nine WRC plus. He's thirty one

0:25:46.840 --> 0:25:50.119
<v Speaker 1>percent worse than league average. He's not a plus defender anymore.

0:25:50.119 --> 0:25:51.680
<v Speaker 1>I don't know what we're doing. I don't know what

0:25:51.760 --> 0:25:53.160
<v Speaker 1>they're doing. I don't either.

0:25:55.000 --> 0:25:57.840
<v Speaker 2>M grabs says, does Bubba Roman have a better shot

0:25:57.880 --> 0:26:00.520
<v Speaker 2>at being keeper worthy in a five cat head to

0:26:00.560 --> 0:26:03.520
<v Speaker 2>head league twelve team? Four keepers?

0:26:03.560 --> 0:26:03.720
<v Speaker 1>Though?

0:26:04.800 --> 0:26:06.920
<v Speaker 2>I think both of those guys are pretty tough to

0:26:07.040 --> 0:26:09.800
<v Speaker 2>keep in a fore keeper unless your team stinks.

0:26:10.880 --> 0:26:13.600
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, totally agreed. I think that it would be a

0:26:13.720 --> 0:26:16.080
<v Speaker 1>stretch for either of them. Is one of them more likely?

0:26:16.600 --> 0:26:18.639
<v Speaker 1>I guess the fact that Anthony is up now, if

0:26:18.680 --> 0:26:21.400
<v Speaker 1>he does, you know, if he knocks our socks off

0:26:21.440 --> 0:26:23.480
<v Speaker 1>and goes twenty twenty the rest of the way, maybe

0:26:23.680 --> 0:26:25.679
<v Speaker 1>you'd give you a tough decision. But yeah, I think,

0:26:25.760 --> 0:26:27.000
<v Speaker 1>like well said, it would have to be a pretty

0:26:27.040 --> 0:26:28.560
<v Speaker 1>bad roster for him to be one of the four,

0:26:28.640 --> 0:26:29.680
<v Speaker 1>for either to be one of the four.

0:26:29.760 --> 0:26:31.440
<v Speaker 2>But you know, there are plenty of times I've seen

0:26:31.560 --> 0:26:34.800
<v Speaker 2>rosters where it's like three keepers are just so they're like,

0:26:34.880 --> 0:26:37.600
<v Speaker 2>oh I got a Kunya Tatis and you know, whatever

0:26:37.680 --> 0:26:40.720
<v Speaker 2>the hell, Ellie, and then their fourth keeper is like

0:26:40.760 --> 0:26:42.680
<v Speaker 2>they're trying to figure out if they should keep you know,

0:26:43.119 --> 0:26:47.240
<v Speaker 2>an aging Matt Olsen, Luis Robert or Roman Anthony. And

0:26:47.320 --> 0:26:49.760
<v Speaker 2>let's say that's the case. That actually is a scenario

0:26:49.800 --> 0:26:52.760
<v Speaker 2>where Anthony could be viable. Olsen's added down this year,

0:26:52.800 --> 0:26:56.000
<v Speaker 2>he's getting older. If Anthony kind of pops off, By

0:26:56.000 --> 0:26:58.040
<v Speaker 2>the way, I totally understand that scenario. I already said

0:26:58.040 --> 0:27:00.639
<v Speaker 2>two outfielders, but you get what I'm doing. I do

0:27:00.800 --> 0:27:03.440
<v Speaker 2>think there is the possibility that Roman anthe could be that.

0:27:03.600 --> 0:27:06.480
<v Speaker 2>I do not think Bubba is going to be thrown

0:27:06.560 --> 0:27:08.840
<v Speaker 2>into that the Pirates. Bubba would have to be like

0:27:09.000 --> 0:27:11.719
<v Speaker 2>Paul Skeins, which is a definite I guess, I guess possibility.

0:27:12.080 --> 0:27:14.200
<v Speaker 2>But I would say Roman Anthony has he has an out.

0:27:14.440 --> 0:27:18.040
<v Speaker 2>He has the better shot of that question. Dexter says,

0:27:18.280 --> 0:27:21.520
<v Speaker 2>is Barger a must add in ten team? What do

0:27:22.680 --> 0:27:25.240
<v Speaker 2>I think? What do the advanced metrics say about him?

0:27:25.359 --> 0:27:29.240
<v Speaker 2>He absolutely pops off as far as expected stats go.

0:27:29.680 --> 0:27:32.720
<v Speaker 2>Baseball Savant page is beautiful. That's why I've been talking

0:27:32.720 --> 0:27:35.600
<v Speaker 2>about him for a couple months. Two sixty two seven homers,

0:27:35.640 --> 0:27:39.000
<v Speaker 2>fifty two percent hard hit rate, ridiculous, tops of the league,

0:27:39.080 --> 0:27:42.879
<v Speaker 2>and average and max exit velocity expect a batting average

0:27:42.960 --> 0:27:45.400
<v Speaker 2>is thirty points higher than he has barrel rates good,

0:27:45.480 --> 0:27:48.360
<v Speaker 2>It all looks sexy. Is he good enough to hold

0:27:48.400 --> 0:27:50.200
<v Speaker 2>in a ten team? Is he a muscle or must

0:27:50.240 --> 0:27:51.680
<v Speaker 2>pick up? I guess if he's available.

0:27:52.880 --> 0:27:54.720
<v Speaker 1>But my home league is a ten team league, and

0:27:54.840 --> 0:27:57.760
<v Speaker 1>he was my Alex Bragman replacement. The timing worked out

0:27:58.000 --> 0:28:01.200
<v Speaker 1>beautifully for Barger's little run here, but I think that

0:28:01.440 --> 0:28:04.080
<v Speaker 1>it's beyond I shouldn't even minimize it. It's more than

0:28:04.160 --> 0:28:06.600
<v Speaker 1>just a little run. There are serious improvements. I'm a

0:28:06.640 --> 0:28:10.080
<v Speaker 1>Blue Jay fan and I've watched him throughout the last

0:28:10.080 --> 0:28:12.560
<v Speaker 1>few years, and he is a different player than last year.

0:28:12.600 --> 0:28:14.680
<v Speaker 1>He was striking out a lot, a lot more, he

0:28:14.800 --> 0:28:17.480
<v Speaker 1>was chasing more, he was making less contact in the zone.

0:28:18.119 --> 0:28:20.400
<v Speaker 1>He is a different player this year, and the power

0:28:20.520 --> 0:28:22.680
<v Speaker 1>metrics really backed that up. His barrel rate went from

0:28:22.720 --> 0:28:25.680
<v Speaker 1>eight percent to fifteen, hard hit from thirty eight to

0:28:25.800 --> 0:28:29.080
<v Speaker 1>fifty two. The average exit velocity went from eighty eight

0:28:29.119 --> 0:28:31.480
<v Speaker 1>to ninety four, and the max exit velocity last year

0:28:31.560 --> 0:28:33.920
<v Speaker 1>was one ten. This year it's already at one sixteen.

0:28:34.200 --> 0:28:37.320
<v Speaker 1>He is a different player the Blue Jays as a whole.

0:28:37.480 --> 0:28:39.680
<v Speaker 1>I talked a little bit about how team has been

0:28:39.720 --> 0:28:42.040
<v Speaker 1>performing over the last month. The Blue Jays have the

0:28:42.120 --> 0:28:45.320
<v Speaker 1>third best WRC plus over the last month, one point

0:28:45.400 --> 0:28:48.920
<v Speaker 1>behind the Yankees and the Dodgers. It's been an unbelievable

0:28:48.920 --> 0:28:51.760
<v Speaker 1>thing to see Toronto turn things around offensively, and I

0:28:51.800 --> 0:28:53.440
<v Speaker 1>think Barger has been a huge part of it. So

0:28:53.600 --> 0:28:56.480
<v Speaker 1>long story short, I think he's worth adding everywhere, even

0:28:56.480 --> 0:28:58.280
<v Speaker 1>if you're using him in a utility spot. I think

0:28:58.320 --> 0:29:01.360
<v Speaker 1>the power's legit, the lineups jit his defense is very

0:29:01.440 --> 0:29:03.760
<v Speaker 1>legit as well. Not a ton of reps so far

0:29:03.880 --> 0:29:06.240
<v Speaker 1>this year, but he's already plus two defensive run saved

0:29:06.280 --> 0:29:09.200
<v Speaker 1>and outs above average at third in just two hundred

0:29:09.200 --> 0:29:11.080
<v Speaker 1>and thirty innings. He's gonna stick in this lineup, and

0:29:11.120 --> 0:29:12.920
<v Speaker 1>this lineup right now is very very good. So I'd

0:29:12.960 --> 0:29:13.800
<v Speaker 1>add him wherever you can.

0:29:14.240 --> 0:29:16.120
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I think for the most part, I'm kind of

0:29:16.160 --> 0:29:19.200
<v Speaker 2>in that same space with you that in a ten team,

0:29:19.400 --> 0:29:21.440
<v Speaker 2>he is so hot, the metrics look good. I think

0:29:21.480 --> 0:29:22.880
<v Speaker 2>you should do it. But what if I ask you

0:29:22.920 --> 0:29:25.160
<v Speaker 2>you can only add one Barger or Roman Anthony.

0:29:28.040 --> 0:29:29.760
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna get called a homer, but I think it's

0:29:29.800 --> 0:29:32.200
<v Speaker 1>probably Barger just because he's already gone through the ups

0:29:32.200 --> 0:29:34.840
<v Speaker 1>and downs of the miners. He's had a bad stretch

0:29:34.880 --> 0:29:37.160
<v Speaker 1>of major league play last season, and I think that

0:29:37.240 --> 0:29:39.640
<v Speaker 1>that's an important piece of the puzzle of guys having

0:29:39.720 --> 0:29:42.000
<v Speaker 1>to kind of go through the lows and figure things out.

0:29:42.640 --> 0:29:45.680
<v Speaker 1>And he's already rolling right now. There's a chance that

0:29:45.720 --> 0:29:48.120
<v Speaker 1>Anthony comes up and he does kind of something similar.

0:29:48.600 --> 0:29:50.240
<v Speaker 1>But I think just considering the state of the Blue

0:29:50.320 --> 0:29:52.479
<v Speaker 1>Jays offense and the fact that Barger is pretty much

0:29:52.520 --> 0:29:54.960
<v Speaker 1>guaranteed an everyday roll, there's no chance that he's leaving

0:29:55.000 --> 0:29:57.480
<v Speaker 1>the lineup at this point, where with Anthony, two cold

0:29:57.560 --> 0:30:00.360
<v Speaker 1>weeks and I'll break you back could mean he's back

0:30:00.400 --> 0:30:02.600
<v Speaker 1>in triple A. So I think Barger is the safer call.

0:30:02.920 --> 0:30:05.000
<v Speaker 1>Anthony has the more upside, but I think Barger is

0:30:05.080 --> 0:30:06.280
<v Speaker 1>is the way I would go in a lot of so.

0:30:06.600 --> 0:30:08.600
<v Speaker 2>I kind of think that is the right answer. I'm

0:30:08.600 --> 0:30:10.880
<v Speaker 2>gonna say Anthony, though, because I think the upside is

0:30:10.960 --> 0:30:14.240
<v Speaker 2>really tremendous in that offense. You and I completely agree

0:30:14.680 --> 0:30:17.120
<v Speaker 2>something I would have made as a statement if you

0:30:17.240 --> 0:30:19.200
<v Speaker 2>told me after one hundred and fifty at bats that

0:30:19.320 --> 0:30:22.440
<v Speaker 2>Anthony could be hitting two sixty with seven Homers, you

0:30:22.520 --> 0:30:24.640
<v Speaker 2>know at three twenty five or three forty, let's say

0:30:24.640 --> 0:30:27.440
<v Speaker 2>obp like, I'd be ecstatic. I'd be like, oh, yeah,

0:30:27.440 --> 0:30:29.520
<v Speaker 2>it's working out. That's where Barger is right now, So

0:30:30.280 --> 0:30:33.040
<v Speaker 2>definitely possibility. I'm gonna go with the upside though. Let's

0:30:33.080 --> 0:30:34.560
<v Speaker 2>do a little burn and turn on some of these

0:30:34.600 --> 0:30:35.880
<v Speaker 2>so we can get through them and we'll get to

0:30:35.920 --> 0:30:36.720
<v Speaker 2>our last topics.

0:30:36.760 --> 0:30:36.880
<v Speaker 1>Here.

0:30:37.560 --> 0:30:40.320
<v Speaker 2>Would you guys accept or decline? This trade got offered

0:30:40.360 --> 0:30:45.160
<v Speaker 2>Lindor Devers and Chandler Simpson for Hunter Brown, Mookie and

0:30:45.320 --> 0:30:48.960
<v Speaker 2>Matt Shaw. This is a ten team keeper, so they're

0:30:49.000 --> 0:30:52.520
<v Speaker 2>getting Lindor, Devers and Simpson but having to give away Brown,

0:30:52.800 --> 0:30:57.200
<v Speaker 2>Bets and Matt Shaw. I instantly want to say no,

0:30:58.000 --> 0:31:02.200
<v Speaker 2>but you're getting two top thirty hitters. Lindor is a

0:31:02.240 --> 0:31:05.880
<v Speaker 2>little bit older for a top pitcher and then a

0:31:05.960 --> 0:31:09.040
<v Speaker 2>top hitter, and then the differentiating factor is Simpson versus Shaw,

0:31:09.200 --> 0:31:11.160
<v Speaker 2>which is kind of tough. I don't know that, and

0:31:11.240 --> 0:31:13.720
<v Speaker 2>it's in team keeper. I think I'm leaning Bets and

0:31:13.800 --> 0:31:16.600
<v Speaker 2>Brown here, but Lindor and Devers is a pretty damn

0:31:16.640 --> 0:31:17.720
<v Speaker 2>good offer. What do you think?

0:31:19.080 --> 0:31:21.400
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, the thing with Lindor getting older, that's kind of

0:31:21.520 --> 0:31:22.440
<v Speaker 1>is on the other side too.

0:31:23.360 --> 0:31:25.280
<v Speaker 2>That's is as well, so you're kind of if you

0:31:25.400 --> 0:31:28.320
<v Speaker 2>figure swapping those two. You can look at this as

0:31:28.440 --> 0:31:31.880
<v Speaker 2>like Devors for Brown, and.

0:31:32.120 --> 0:31:34.960
<v Speaker 1>I would almost always take the hitter over the pitcher,

0:31:35.400 --> 0:31:39.040
<v Speaker 1>just in a vacuum, given the injury risks. I My

0:31:39.160 --> 0:31:41.240
<v Speaker 1>initial lean is the Lindor and Dever side, but I

0:31:41.280 --> 0:31:43.280
<v Speaker 1>think I think it's fair. I don't think anybody's getting

0:31:43.320 --> 0:31:45.400
<v Speaker 1>ripped off here, but I think that the Lindor side,

0:31:45.480 --> 0:31:48.080
<v Speaker 1>for me, is a little more is a little more interesting.

0:31:49.440 --> 0:31:51.280
<v Speaker 2>I think as long as they're all keepers too, I

0:31:51.320 --> 0:31:53.160
<v Speaker 2>guess I'm gonna still lean the bets Brown, but more

0:31:53.200 --> 0:31:56.400
<v Speaker 2>i'm thinking about it, Lindor Devers might be the better haul.

0:31:56.520 --> 0:31:59.240
<v Speaker 2>Simpson and Shot probably don't come into equation unless this

0:31:59.360 --> 0:32:01.840
<v Speaker 2>is like a deep key. Joseph said, keep your trade question.

0:32:01.920 --> 0:32:04.360
<v Speaker 2>Would you trade Ivan Herrera, jung Hu, Lee, Clay Holmes

0:32:04.440 --> 0:32:07.800
<v Speaker 2>and a fifth rounder to get Cal Raley, Seth Lugo

0:32:07.920 --> 0:32:11.600
<v Speaker 2>and a twelfth rounder? So you're trading Herrera, Lee, Holmes

0:32:11.760 --> 0:32:14.160
<v Speaker 2>and a fifth to get Lugo and RALEI.

0:32:15.520 --> 0:32:19.680
<v Speaker 1>I think you're giving up too much. Lugo is we're

0:32:19.760 --> 0:32:22.240
<v Speaker 1>running out of time where Lugo can still be productive.

0:32:22.280 --> 0:32:24.760
<v Speaker 1>He is he thirty seven now, thirty six, thirty seven,

0:32:24.760 --> 0:32:26.400
<v Speaker 1>I don't know how many more years you're going to

0:32:26.480 --> 0:32:30.720
<v Speaker 1>have out of him. Raleigh has been brilliant, but I

0:32:30.840 --> 0:32:34.520
<v Speaker 1>also don't really expect this pace to continue. He's pacing

0:32:34.640 --> 0:32:37.520
<v Speaker 1>for like a sixty home run twenty steel season with

0:32:37.640 --> 0:32:39.720
<v Speaker 1>a three hundred batting average. I'm not saying he's like

0:32:39.760 --> 0:32:41.959
<v Speaker 1>a big cell high, but I think he's playing over

0:32:42.000 --> 0:32:44.840
<v Speaker 1>his skis a little bit. I really like Ivan Herrera,

0:32:44.960 --> 0:32:46.719
<v Speaker 1>I really like Jung Hu Lee. The Dodgers have been

0:32:46.760 --> 0:32:48.840
<v Speaker 1>linked to him, and Clay Holmes is doing really good

0:32:48.880 --> 0:32:51.680
<v Speaker 1>things this season, So I would personally want more if

0:32:51.680 --> 0:32:53.920
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to move off of Herrera and Jung Hu

0:32:53.960 --> 0:32:55.400
<v Speaker 1>Lee and Holmes.

0:32:55.240 --> 0:32:57.840
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I think so too. Like there's also an element

0:32:57.880 --> 0:32:59.480
<v Speaker 2>of if you're like, well, I want Raleigh and Lugo

0:32:59.520 --> 0:33:02.160
<v Speaker 2>because I'm play for now, it's like, well, I'd rather

0:33:02.200 --> 0:33:04.640
<v Speaker 2>have Clay Holmes and Lugo and Herrera's not that far

0:33:04.720 --> 0:33:07.200
<v Speaker 2>off from Raleigh. Is that worth the upgrade to also

0:33:07.240 --> 0:33:10.360
<v Speaker 2>get rid of Lee in the fifth rounder? Maybe? Yeah,

0:33:10.440 --> 0:33:13.240
<v Speaker 2>maybe cal Rally has been incredible, but I really do

0:33:13.360 --> 0:33:15.680
<v Speaker 2>love Ivan Herrera. I'd like to do this as like

0:33:16.360 --> 0:33:19.520
<v Speaker 2>I trade Herrera in a fifth for cal Raley, or

0:33:19.800 --> 0:33:22.520
<v Speaker 2>you know, maybe I upgrade the pick to a fourth

0:33:22.640 --> 0:33:25.040
<v Speaker 2>Herrera in cal Raley. I might work something like that

0:33:25.600 --> 0:33:29.280
<v Speaker 2>the Big Dance Autokemp, or let's do Lightning round on

0:33:29.360 --> 0:33:31.000
<v Speaker 2>these Auto Kemp or Ronnie Mauricio.

0:33:32.320 --> 0:33:33.880
<v Speaker 1>It would have to be Mauricio for me. I think

0:33:33.960 --> 0:33:35.920
<v Speaker 1>Kemp is just a short term guy. I think Mauricio

0:33:35.960 --> 0:33:39.040
<v Speaker 1>could stick, especially with what you've seen recently. Camp.

0:33:39.440 --> 0:33:41.400
<v Speaker 2>I don't know if Harper is too short term here.

0:33:41.560 --> 0:33:43.480
<v Speaker 2>I'll say Ronnie Mauricio, but I don't think we should

0:33:43.480 --> 0:33:46.680
<v Speaker 2>sleep on Kemp. How would you guys rank Torklsen, Kurtz,

0:33:46.720 --> 0:33:49.760
<v Speaker 2>Ben Rice rest of season in the Daily Lineup League?

0:33:50.120 --> 0:33:50.720
<v Speaker 2>What's your rank?

0:33:52.560 --> 0:33:54.600
<v Speaker 1>Probably in the order you have it laid out there,

0:33:54.680 --> 0:33:55.880
<v Speaker 1>Torkles and Kurtz and Rice.

0:33:56.600 --> 0:34:02.320
<v Speaker 2>That's interesting. I am inverse order, Rice, Kurtz, Torkelsen. Rice

0:34:02.560 --> 0:34:05.200
<v Speaker 2>has expected numbers that are I think we're going to

0:34:05.240 --> 0:34:07.400
<v Speaker 2>get back to where we saw early. His averages definitely

0:34:07.480 --> 0:34:10.040
<v Speaker 2>dip back down, but I think he's going to bounce

0:34:10.120 --> 0:34:12.600
<v Speaker 2>back still a really great profile. Kurtz was starting to

0:34:12.680 --> 0:34:15.680
<v Speaker 2>find it Sortson's fine but I'm going to go reverse

0:34:15.800 --> 0:34:17.879
<v Speaker 2>order rest of season, and the answer might be Kurtz,

0:34:17.920 --> 0:34:19.440
<v Speaker 2>by the way, who we had in the middle on

0:34:19.600 --> 0:34:23.719
<v Speaker 2>both of those, Joseph, what do we like rest of

0:34:23.800 --> 0:34:26.760
<v Speaker 2>season in a category league? Westburg or Mikel Garcia.

0:34:29.640 --> 0:34:33.080
<v Speaker 1>I'm not really married to either, but Mikel Garcia has

0:34:33.120 --> 0:34:36.200
<v Speaker 1>been one of the low and bright spots in Kansas City.

0:34:36.280 --> 0:34:38.080
<v Speaker 1>He's been really good, so I think i'd probably lean

0:34:38.200 --> 0:34:39.840
<v Speaker 1>with him, although I think that's probably gonna be an

0:34:39.920 --> 0:34:40.840
<v Speaker 1>unpopular choice.

0:34:41.360 --> 0:34:45.640
<v Speaker 2>I think his production is impossible to drop. But I

0:34:45.800 --> 0:34:48.400
<v Speaker 2>also think Jordan Westburg from moving forward could be the

0:34:48.440 --> 0:34:51.320
<v Speaker 2>more valuable player, so kind of take that, like, I

0:34:51.360 --> 0:34:53.239
<v Speaker 2>guess I'm gonna say Jordan Westburg, but like, how do

0:34:53.280 --> 0:34:55.400
<v Speaker 2>you cut Michael Garcia right now? I don't even know

0:34:55.440 --> 0:34:58.080
<v Speaker 2>how you end up doing that. Who is up first?

0:34:58.200 --> 0:35:00.800
<v Speaker 2>Christian Moore or Bubba Chandler? And and then the secondary

0:35:00.920 --> 0:35:03.760
<v Speaker 2>question is who is a better keeper value, Bubba or Christian?

0:35:03.920 --> 0:35:05.720
<v Speaker 2>More so, who's up and who has better value?

0:35:07.400 --> 0:35:11.880
<v Speaker 1>I would imagine the answer to both is probably Bubba,

0:35:12.000 --> 0:35:14.960
<v Speaker 1>but the Angels are pretty aggressive with how they promote prospects,

0:35:15.000 --> 0:35:17.359
<v Speaker 1>so more could be up first, but I would prefer

0:35:17.480 --> 0:35:18.040
<v Speaker 1>to have Bubba.

0:35:18.680 --> 0:35:20.239
<v Speaker 2>I agree, I'm going to go on both. And then

0:35:20.760 --> 0:35:23.319
<v Speaker 2>finally Joe Hulee, is he droppable for barger.

0:35:25.200 --> 0:35:27.320
<v Speaker 1>If you need a third basement. Third basement are a

0:35:27.320 --> 0:35:29.880
<v Speaker 1>lot harder to come by than outfielders. I'd prefer to

0:35:29.920 --> 0:35:31.759
<v Speaker 1>hold Lee, but I would understand the move.

0:35:31.960 --> 0:35:33.400
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I think you can. I think you can make

0:35:33.440 --> 0:35:36.400
<v Speaker 2>that move. I want to remind everybody whos we're answering questions.

0:35:36.440 --> 0:35:38.040

<v Speaker 1>Joe and Joe Show.

0:36:34.800 --> 0:36:36.879
<v Speaker 2>Weeni in the Butt a couple of things I want

0:36:36.880 --> 0:36:38.040
<v Speaker 2>to get your take on, and then we're going to

0:36:38.080 --> 0:36:41.040
<v Speaker 2>get out of here. Two rest of season pitcher questions,

0:36:42.040 --> 0:36:44.680
<v Speaker 2>Uri Perez. We are playing a very dangerous game right

0:36:44.719 --> 0:36:47.480
<v Speaker 2>now because we are recording this before Uri Perez makes

0:36:47.520 --> 0:36:50.719
<v Speaker 2>his debut. He's going up against the Pirates, which is

0:36:51.280 --> 0:36:53.919
<v Speaker 2>very nice. We love that. Probably going to be capped

0:36:53.920 --> 0:36:56.440
<v Speaker 2>to some capacity. He's coming off with this injury. He's

0:36:56.480 --> 0:37:01.200
<v Speaker 2>had a very long, extended rehabitantst of season. What do

0:37:01.320 --> 0:37:03.759
<v Speaker 2>you think Euri PRES's value is as far as an

0:37:03.920 --> 0:37:07.320
<v Speaker 2>sp goes and do you think it is better to

0:37:07.440 --> 0:37:11.160
<v Speaker 2>trade Uri right now in inherent value when where things

0:37:11.239 --> 0:37:13.560
<v Speaker 2>could go or you should hold on because of what

0:37:13.800 --> 0:37:14.800
<v Speaker 2>the return will look like.

0:37:16.719 --> 0:37:19.160
<v Speaker 1>So I think, and I got this question the other day,

0:37:19.320 --> 0:37:20.840
<v Speaker 1>and I thought about it for a long time, and

0:37:20.880 --> 0:37:23.960
<v Speaker 1>I think a reasonable expectation is probably a top fifty

0:37:24.160 --> 0:37:26.800
<v Speaker 1>or sixty starting pitcher just because you've got a factor

0:37:26.840 --> 0:37:30.000
<v Speaker 1>in Miami is going to win Nada. They are not

0:37:30.120 --> 0:37:32.359
<v Speaker 1>going to be a lot of win opportunities coming for him.

0:37:33.200 --> 0:37:36.920
<v Speaker 1>But the actual production is where I really struggle, because

0:37:37.120 --> 0:37:39.200
<v Speaker 1>I'm not sure what to make of his command. What

0:37:39.320 --> 0:37:42.040
<v Speaker 1>we've seen from a lot of from pretty much everybody

0:37:42.040 --> 0:37:44.320
<v Speaker 1>coming back from Tommy John is that the command is

0:37:44.360 --> 0:37:47.160
<v Speaker 1>the last thing to come back. And what we saw

0:37:47.600 --> 0:37:50.919
<v Speaker 1>in his rehabs in the minors was an increased walk

0:37:51.040 --> 0:37:55.839
<v Speaker 1>rate that was well over ten percent. So I worry

0:37:55.840 --> 0:37:57.359
<v Speaker 1>a little bit. Like in single A he was at

0:37:57.360 --> 0:37:59.400
<v Speaker 1>seven percent walk rate, whatever he went up to triple

0:37:59.440 --> 0:38:03.279
<v Speaker 1>A the thirteen percent, And if the command doesn't come

0:38:03.360 --> 0:38:05.560
<v Speaker 1>back the way we're hoping for, then it might be

0:38:05.640 --> 0:38:08.200
<v Speaker 1>a little bit of a tough road for him. But

0:38:08.360 --> 0:38:12.520
<v Speaker 1>at the same time, the talent is absolutely through the

0:38:12.640 --> 0:38:14.799
<v Speaker 1>roof that I feel like even if his command isn't

0:38:15.000 --> 0:38:17.560
<v Speaker 1>quite up to par, he could still get by just

0:38:17.600 --> 0:38:19.399
<v Speaker 1>because he's going to have something like a thirty percent

0:38:19.440 --> 0:38:21.640
<v Speaker 1>strikeout rate. That's where he's been in his rehab twenty

0:38:21.680 --> 0:38:24.799
<v Speaker 1>eight percent. So I think that he can get by

0:38:24.880 --> 0:38:27.239
<v Speaker 1>if you're at a twenty eight twenty nine percent strikeout rate,

0:38:27.320 --> 0:38:30.880
<v Speaker 1>even if you're walking eleven percent, we can see success

0:38:30.960 --> 0:38:32.960
<v Speaker 1>with that. It just makes it a little bit harder.

0:38:33.040 --> 0:38:35.680
<v Speaker 1>So if you can trade him, it really depends on

0:38:35.800 --> 0:38:37.919
<v Speaker 1>what you're trading him for. If it's a keeper league,

0:38:37.920 --> 0:38:38.480
<v Speaker 1>I wouldn't do it.

0:38:38.640 --> 0:38:41.400
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, we're not talking keeper at all, but just.

0:38:41.440 --> 0:38:44.000
<v Speaker 1>For redraft purposes. If somebody is going to offer you,

0:38:45.960 --> 0:38:47.560
<v Speaker 1>I guess the bar would have to be for me,

0:38:47.760 --> 0:38:51.000
<v Speaker 1>like a top one hundred and fifty overall player or

0:38:51.080 --> 0:38:53.160
<v Speaker 1>maybe even one hundred and twenty five or so.

0:38:54.000 --> 0:38:56.560
<v Speaker 2>I feel like you're talking like down when you said

0:38:56.600 --> 0:38:59.359
<v Speaker 2>top like fifty SP. I think expectations are a little

0:38:59.360 --> 0:39:02.560
<v Speaker 2>bit higher. I think market is like a higher cost.

0:39:03.160 --> 0:39:06.200
<v Speaker 2>So you actually might personally benefit if you're not as

0:39:06.320 --> 0:39:09.320
<v Speaker 2>high on him from trading him, because I think I

0:39:09.400 --> 0:39:13.480
<v Speaker 2>think a reasonable reasonable in like the Fantasy Baseball trademinder,

0:39:14.080 --> 0:39:15.960
<v Speaker 2>is that like, hey, Ury can come in and be

0:39:16.160 --> 0:39:18.320
<v Speaker 2>like a top thirty SP, he can come back and

0:39:18.360 --> 0:39:20.440
<v Speaker 2>be a similar. Think of like, now, I know it

0:39:20.480 --> 0:39:23.360
<v Speaker 2>didn't work out, but think of like Strider, Streider and McClanahan, like,

0:39:23.360 --> 0:39:25.200
<v Speaker 2>oh they're back, they're pitching d Dad, this is what

0:39:25.280 --> 0:39:28.600
<v Speaker 2>they can be. I think that's the relative expectation because,

0:39:28.600 --> 0:39:30.960
<v Speaker 2>like I wanted to ask you this rest of season,

0:39:31.480 --> 0:39:36.480
<v Speaker 2>Uri pez Orjesus Lozardo, oh Man and LAZARDA has just

0:39:36.560 --> 0:39:38.280
<v Speaker 2>gotten smacked around his last couple.

0:39:39.480 --> 0:39:41.680
<v Speaker 1>The worry for me with Blizardo is that you don't

0:39:41.760 --> 0:39:45.319
<v Speaker 1>usually see a picture of that caliber get absolutely lit

0:39:45.440 --> 0:39:47.960
<v Speaker 1>on fire twice in a row. You will Steve everybody

0:39:48.040 --> 0:39:50.560
<v Speaker 1>get blown up here and there. But twelve and eight

0:39:50.800 --> 0:39:53.640
<v Speaker 1>earned runs and consecutive outings leads me to think there's

0:39:53.760 --> 0:39:57.520
<v Speaker 1>something injury related going on potentially, and I've been waiting

0:39:57.560 --> 0:39:59.640
<v Speaker 1>for some kind of move. He's still scheduled to start

0:39:59.680 --> 0:40:03.719
<v Speaker 1>against the Cubs on Wednesday, and waiting for some kind

0:40:03.760 --> 0:40:06.040
<v Speaker 1>of move, But it looks like they're going to send

0:40:06.120 --> 0:40:07.920
<v Speaker 1>him out there so they think he's healthy. Then I'm

0:40:08.280 --> 0:40:10.880
<v Speaker 1>willing to buy into that. Afhillies are kind of an

0:40:10.880 --> 0:40:13.120
<v Speaker 1>interesting team with health sometimes, but I'm willing to buy

0:40:13.200 --> 0:40:16.399
<v Speaker 1>into it, and I think I would take Lozardo still,

0:40:16.640 --> 0:40:19.640
<v Speaker 1>he's been so so good. I mean, this wouldn't have

0:40:19.640 --> 0:40:21.279
<v Speaker 1>even been a question a week ago. We would have

0:40:21.320 --> 0:40:23.960
<v Speaker 1>all taken Lozardo pretty easily. And I think the two

0:40:24.040 --> 0:40:26.960
<v Speaker 1>starts are concerning, But there are also concerns, like I

0:40:27.080 --> 0:40:28.880
<v Speaker 1>laid out with Perez, the wins are not going to

0:40:28.920 --> 0:40:31.400
<v Speaker 1>be there, the command might be kind of shaky, you

0:40:31.480 --> 0:40:34.239
<v Speaker 1>might be looking at some rough whips. So I think

0:40:34.280 --> 0:40:36.560
<v Speaker 1>it would be Lozardo. I wouldn't fault anybody for wanting

0:40:36.640 --> 0:40:38.440
<v Speaker 1>to take a chance on Uri, but I don't think

0:40:38.440 --> 0:40:40.600
<v Speaker 1>we should give up on Lazardo after what we've seen either.

0:40:40.680 --> 0:40:43.320
<v Speaker 2>I do think Lozardo has the advantage, like the team context.

0:40:43.600 --> 0:40:45.320
<v Speaker 2>You know, there's a lot of there's gonna be run support.

0:40:45.360 --> 0:40:47.640
<v Speaker 2>There's wins support there that's not going to be there

0:40:48.160 --> 0:40:50.320
<v Speaker 2>with the Marlins. We also think there's probably gonna be

0:40:50.400 --> 0:40:52.040
<v Speaker 2>some type of a cap. But I do think that

0:40:52.239 --> 0:40:54.160
<v Speaker 2>Uri Perez can toe the line of a top thirty

0:40:54.320 --> 0:40:58.200
<v Speaker 2>sp So with that question, I think you inherently kind

0:40:58.239 --> 0:40:59.839
<v Speaker 2>of have to say Lizarda right now, but I think

0:40:59.880 --> 0:41:02.360
<v Speaker 2>it's a very thin line. I think one more, I

0:41:02.440 --> 0:41:06.600
<v Speaker 2>think public sentiment deteriorates if Lozardo gets lit up again

0:41:06.960 --> 0:41:09.200
<v Speaker 2>and if Ury does go out and he goes let's

0:41:09.200 --> 0:41:12.239
<v Speaker 2>say five inning, six strikeouts, gives up one in and

0:41:12.360 --> 0:41:15.680
<v Speaker 2>run and eighty two pitches, I think like people are

0:41:15.719 --> 0:41:17.840
<v Speaker 2>gonna be like, hey, we're back, We're back on Uri Prez.

0:41:18.600 --> 0:41:20.480
<v Speaker 1>The thing with Uri too, is that the matchups this

0:41:20.600 --> 0:41:24.680
<v Speaker 1>week are at Pittsburgh and at Washington, So you couldn't

0:41:24.760 --> 0:41:28.080
<v Speaker 1>get more of a cupcake to start in your return.

0:41:28.280 --> 0:41:31.520
<v Speaker 1>So if he really does well in these two matchups,

0:41:31.560 --> 0:41:33.160
<v Speaker 1>then I would I would look to see what people

0:41:33.160 --> 0:41:34.839
<v Speaker 1>are willing to offer you, all right.

0:41:34.920 --> 0:41:41.880
<v Speaker 2>Final one, George Kirby absolutely lit it up this weekend.

0:41:42.120 --> 0:41:45.920
<v Speaker 2>Fourteen strikeouts after coming off of the IL and some

0:41:46.120 --> 0:41:49.440
<v Speaker 2>questionable results, just look dominant, really kind of lowered his

0:41:49.480 --> 0:41:52.879
<v Speaker 2>splitter percentage. It was just to me, I've been liking

0:41:52.960 --> 0:41:55.239
<v Speaker 2>it as like he just got back to basics basketball

0:41:55.719 --> 0:41:59.960
<v Speaker 2>sinker slider, got it done, got his whiffs, bunch of strikes.

0:42:01.040 --> 0:42:04.160
<v Speaker 2>The first question, really quick is do you think Kirby

0:42:04.280 --> 0:42:06.480
<v Speaker 2>is all the way back or roughly all the way back?

0:42:06.560 --> 0:42:10.319
<v Speaker 2>Did that outing give you the confirmation you needed to say, oh,

0:42:10.920 --> 0:42:12.560
<v Speaker 2>we're back in the George Kirby business.

0:42:14.000 --> 0:42:17.200
<v Speaker 1>It did, especially because the Angels have been good offensively lately.

0:42:18.040 --> 0:42:20.120
<v Speaker 1>They've been like a top five or seven team over

0:42:20.120 --> 0:42:22.440
<v Speaker 1>the last three weeks. With Trout coming back, Joe Dell's

0:42:22.440 --> 0:42:24.719
<v Speaker 1>been doing good things. So it's not like this came

0:42:24.760 --> 0:42:26.680
<v Speaker 1>against the Rockies when you'd have to maybe give it

0:42:26.719 --> 0:42:28.400
<v Speaker 1>a little bit more of a second thought. But I

0:42:28.480 --> 0:42:31.320
<v Speaker 1>think Kirby is all the way back. That game against

0:42:31.520 --> 0:42:34.080
<v Speaker 1>Washington where he allowed three home runs is the big stinker.

0:42:34.160 --> 0:42:36.640
<v Speaker 1>Other than that, I've liked what I've seen from him.

0:42:36.920 --> 0:42:40.640
<v Speaker 2>Okay. Then this leads to the question George Kirby or

0:42:40.760 --> 0:42:44.760
<v Speaker 2>Spencer Streider rest of season? As Stryder hit a second

0:42:44.840 --> 0:42:49.160
<v Speaker 2>all time low on his fastball, his average v low

0:42:49.280 --> 0:42:53.920
<v Speaker 2>is down. He's fastball slider stuff plus numbers kind of famously.

0:42:54.000 --> 0:42:55.640
<v Speaker 2>Now if you go over to Fangrafts you can check

0:42:55.640 --> 0:42:57.640
<v Speaker 2>out the stuff plus numbers are down. It's very short

0:42:57.680 --> 0:43:01.520
<v Speaker 2>sample sizes and whatnot. But Spencer trying to find himself.

0:43:02.200 --> 0:43:05.239
<v Speaker 2>Who would you rather rest of season? George Kirby or

0:43:05.239 --> 0:43:06.000
<v Speaker 2>Spencer Strider.

0:43:07.840 --> 0:43:09.799
<v Speaker 1>I think I would go with Kirby at this point,

0:43:10.120 --> 0:43:13.120
<v Speaker 1>I'm pretty worried about Strider. He's been really bad. The

0:43:13.200 --> 0:43:15.200
<v Speaker 1>numbers below the surface are bad too. It's not like

0:43:15.280 --> 0:43:17.920
<v Speaker 1>he has a huge era and all the estimators are

0:43:17.960 --> 0:43:20.200
<v Speaker 1>good and everything like, No, there are a lot of concerns.

0:43:20.280 --> 0:43:23.040
<v Speaker 1>He's not striking guys out. The velocity is not where

0:43:23.080 --> 0:43:26.280
<v Speaker 1>it once was. The team is a joke. The Braves

0:43:26.280 --> 0:43:30.399
<v Speaker 1>are absolutely miserable this season. There's not a lot going

0:43:30.480 --> 0:43:32.360
<v Speaker 1>for Strider right now. I think that he is somebody

0:43:32.400 --> 0:43:35.080
<v Speaker 1>that you should look into trading. I'm kind of concerned here.

0:43:35.160 --> 0:43:39.640
<v Speaker 1>Five game started, five losses, strikeouts aren't there, tons of walks?

0:43:40.719 --> 0:43:43.439
<v Speaker 1>Nothing good, at least with Kirby. I have been even

0:43:43.560 --> 0:43:45.799
<v Speaker 1>before this start a little bit encouraged, like the home

0:43:45.880 --> 0:43:48.440
<v Speaker 1>run to fly ball rate. The homer per nine was

0:43:48.719 --> 0:43:50.680
<v Speaker 1>really out of kewe just because of that one start.

0:43:50.760 --> 0:43:53.560
<v Speaker 1>But the strikeouts are up for Kirby twenty eight percent

0:43:53.600 --> 0:43:56.359
<v Speaker 1>strikeout right. The command has been there, the team has

0:43:56.400 --> 0:43:58.200
<v Speaker 1>been very good. He has a better home park to

0:43:58.239 --> 0:44:00.359
<v Speaker 1>pitch in. I think Kirby is the same for play

0:44:00.400 --> 0:44:01.680
<v Speaker 1>at this point. I do too.

0:44:02.239 --> 0:44:04.759
<v Speaker 2>I'm super torn on where and how I want to

0:44:04.800 --> 0:44:07.799
<v Speaker 2>feel about Strider. I don't want to be I don't

0:44:07.800 --> 0:44:09.719
<v Speaker 2>want to be a massive alarmist where it's like, oh

0:44:09.800 --> 0:44:11.719
<v Speaker 2>my god, he's got to get out of here, like

0:44:11.800 --> 0:44:15.080
<v Speaker 2>he's too talented. We've seen him be, you know, one

0:44:15.120 --> 0:44:18.280
<v Speaker 2>of the premier strikeout pitchroll, freaking bulldog on the mound.

0:44:18.880 --> 0:44:21.480
<v Speaker 2>But there's something off. And it's not just the vlos down,

0:44:21.680 --> 0:44:23.960
<v Speaker 2>it's the stuff doesn't look as good. And then on

0:44:24.080 --> 0:44:26.240
<v Speaker 2>top of it, you're just this like two pitch pitcher,

0:44:26.320 --> 0:44:28.279
<v Speaker 2>you know, you don't have anything else really to rely on,

0:44:28.400 --> 0:44:30.960
<v Speaker 2>you know. And interesting enough, we saw what did de

0:44:31.040 --> 0:44:33.160
<v Speaker 2>Grom do earlier in the year. He leaned more what

0:44:33.320 --> 0:44:35.120
<v Speaker 2>was it on his change up, you know, more than

0:44:35.160 --> 0:44:36.920
<v Speaker 2>he had in quite some time, and maybe that kind

0:44:36.960 --> 0:44:39.520
<v Speaker 2>of helped him kind of get right reset the fastball.

0:44:40.160 --> 0:44:43.400
<v Speaker 2>Strider just doesn't do that, really, and I worry about that.

0:44:43.600 --> 0:44:46.280
<v Speaker 2>I do think he's so talented that if the sentiment

0:44:46.400 --> 0:44:49.920
<v Speaker 2>is so low, you could buy on him. But if

0:44:49.960 --> 0:44:52.000
<v Speaker 2>we are in a world where you can still compare

0:44:52.040 --> 0:44:54.799
<v Speaker 2>Strider and Kirby, I'm going to take Kirby like hands down.

0:44:54.960 --> 0:44:57.239
<v Speaker 2>It's a big command guy. I think that's the way

0:44:57.280 --> 0:44:59.279
<v Speaker 2>I want to go, and I would consolidate. So I

0:44:59.280 --> 0:45:01.399
<v Speaker 2>think there's a b in a cell argument on both

0:45:01.480 --> 0:45:04.000
<v Speaker 2>sides of Strider. But I also feel that I think

0:45:04.040 --> 0:45:06.279
<v Speaker 2>Kirby's back. I don't like that he tinkers too much.

0:45:06.320 --> 0:45:10.400
<v Speaker 2>I hope he doesn't tinker go crazy, Tinker, Taylor whatever, Soldier.

0:45:11.400 --> 0:45:14.800
<v Speaker 2>But I want George Kirby to be the Kirby that

0:45:14.880 --> 0:45:16.560
<v Speaker 2>we know, and I'm going to bank on it, and

0:45:16.960 --> 0:45:19.239
<v Speaker 2>we're both gonna take Kirby over Strider. There you go,

0:45:19.320 --> 0:45:19.799
<v Speaker 2>didn ex.

0:45:20.000 --> 0:45:22.879
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I think with Strider. For me, I think I'm

0:45:23.000 --> 0:45:25.120
<v Speaker 1>just gonna buy the dip next year. I think this

0:45:25.320 --> 0:45:27.680
<v Speaker 1>year is kind of I wouldn't call it a lost season.

0:45:27.680 --> 0:45:29.840
<v Speaker 1>There's still a lot of games left to play, but

0:45:30.040 --> 0:45:32.719
<v Speaker 1>I feel like the production is gonna end up even

0:45:32.760 --> 0:45:35.280
<v Speaker 1>if he really writes the ship. Rest of season. Projections

0:45:35.320 --> 0:45:38.160
<v Speaker 1>at Fangrafts have him going like the bat projection rest

0:45:38.160 --> 0:45:40.440
<v Speaker 1>of the season as a three eighty seven era. You

0:45:40.560 --> 0:45:42.759
<v Speaker 1>tack that onto his five forty. Right now, we're ending

0:45:42.840 --> 0:45:44.759
<v Speaker 1>up in the fours, and I think next year will

0:45:44.760 --> 0:45:46.440
<v Speaker 1>be a good chance to buy the dip on him,

0:45:46.560 --> 0:45:48.800
<v Speaker 1>more so than he's a great by low opportunity in

0:45:48.920 --> 0:45:49.719
<v Speaker 1>redraft right now.

0:45:50.080 --> 0:45:52.440
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I think if you're in a dynasty league, like

0:45:52.520 --> 0:45:54.560
<v Speaker 2>you're saying, go buying him right now, you can buy

0:45:54.600 --> 0:45:56.319
<v Speaker 2>in him my dynasty for next year. If you're out

0:45:56.360 --> 0:45:58.880
<v Speaker 2>of it because you're going to be buying low on him.

0:45:58.920 --> 0:46:01.600
<v Speaker 2>So I think I'm in agreen on that side. Friends,

0:46:01.840 --> 0:46:04.200
