Speaker 1: drafts are being affected by the coronavirus right now. Drafts
Speaker 1: are being canceled, there being moved from offlines you just online.
Speaker 1: We're gonna get into that. We also wanted to get
Speaker 1: into some of the unherrowded players, like Hey, you gotta
Speaker 1: be thinking about these players in your draft. Don't forget
Speaker 1: about them. We talked about my list for weeks. We
Speaker 1: haven't gone back to that, but I want to do that.
Speaker 1: I want to talk about the players you don't want
Speaker 1: to forget about, and not in Frank's crazy thirty round
Speaker 1: fifteen team nonsense drafts, but in your draft and in
Speaker 1: my draft, and the types of players that used to
Speaker 1: be deemed sleepers when that was still a thing, but
Speaker 1: now nobody's a sleeper. Everybody knows who everybody is for
Speaker 1: the most part. But we want to make sure you
Speaker 1: don't get about them when it comes to the draft.
Speaker 1: We're gonna be doing that in a little bit. A
Speaker 1: couple of notes non baseball related though, as I was
Speaker 1: just reading before the show started, that the governor of Ohio,
Speaker 1: Mike Dawine, has says for all sporting events he wants
Speaker 1: nobody there. That's the governor. He's asking no spectators for
Speaker 1: any events inside in Cleveland meeting, Cleveland Cavaliers basketball meeting,
Speaker 1: the first four in Dayton, Ohio, meaning the first round
Speaker 1: of the n C Double a tournament where one location
Speaker 1: is in Cleveland, Ohio. That's four games on Thursday, two
Speaker 1: more on Saturday or Friday Sunday. So a lot going
Speaker 1: on with this coronavirus, but Neverthelass. Your BFFs are here
Speaker 1: to talk you through all of it. How you can
Speaker 1: let the coronavirus affect your draft. You can't do it.
Speaker 1: We're here to make sure that you don't. Before we
Speaker 1: get to any of that, before we get the number
Speaker 1: nine overall pick, before we get to the NBA Tips show,
Speaker 1: we have this update coming your way for Alex Passana
Speaker 1: u Yan Alex Bassano with your Sports Grid news update
Speaker 1: here on the Fantasy the f S guys. In college hoops,
Speaker 1: the IVY League has canceled its men's and women's basketball
Speaker 1: conference tournaments Tuesday because of concerns about the coronavirus. The
Speaker 1: four team tournaments were scheduled to be played Friday through
Speaker 1: Sunday in Cambridge. The IVY League insisted it will award
Speaker 1: its automatic n C Double A tournament bids to the
Speaker 1: regular season champions for the women Princeton and for the
Speaker 1: men Yale. The tournaments are the first in Division one
Speaker 1: basketball to be canceled because of the corona virus outbreak.
Speaker 1: In Major League Baseball, Mets out fielder Michael Kinford, OH
Speaker 1: is returning to New York to have additional tests on
Speaker 1: an injury to his side. In a quote from general
Speaker 1: manager Brodie Van Wagon, and Michael tweaked his side by
Speaker 1: catching a fly ball in the wind during a game
Speaker 1: m a couple of days ago. We will provide updates
Speaker 1: when we have more information. Conforto already had an m
Speaker 1: r I, but when the Mets wanted him to go
Speaker 1: additional testing, the team's medical director insisted. Seven year old
Speaker 1: hit thirty three homers, nine run scores and nine two
Speaker 1: r b i s last season and sticking with Major
Speaker 1: League Baseball. For the Yankees, catcher Gary Sanchez is not
Speaker 1: in Tampa on Tuesday because of a quote fever. Sanchez
Speaker 1: will be evaluated by Yankees team physician Norman Castellano. Presumably
Speaker 1: he will determine whether Sanchez needs to be tested for
Speaker 1: corona virus. Then year old has also been dealing with
Speaker 1: a back issue in recent days. Ironically, Yankees reliever Zack
Speaker 1: Britain expressed concern about the coronaviators after someone in his
Speaker 1: county was diagnosed with the disease. And you've got a
Speaker 1: full slate of NBA NHL and college hoops. Tonight, let's
Speaker 1: go to the Hockey League where the Boston Bruins visit
Speaker 1: the Philadelphia Flyers. Bruins, you're going to half favorite the
Speaker 1: total five and a half. The Pittsburgh Penguins visit the
Speaker 1: New Jersey Devil's Penguins that you're going have favorite the
Speaker 1: total six, and the New York Islanders visit the Vancouver Canucks. Canucks,
Speaker 1: you're going to have favorite the total five and a half.
Speaker 1: I'm Alex Passano. When this has been your sports grid
Speaker 1: news update, Now back to Greg and Frank on the
Speaker 1: Fantasy bff's all right, back here on the BFF. NIC's
Speaker 1: shot by you, Alex. A lot of corona going on
Speaker 1: in all of sports, but tonight the NBA will in
Speaker 1: fact be in action. A lot going on with the
Speaker 1: San Antonio Spurs. We've seen la Marcus Aldridge already be
Speaker 1: upgraded from doubtful to probable. How does that can affect everything?
Speaker 1: We'll figure it out. But earlier today, are Shan Wastamakia
Speaker 1: got an opportunity? Do you sit down with Drew deck
Speaker 1: Meyer of Daily Roder dot com talk about tonight's and
Speaker 1: be a slate. All right, shooting guard DeMar DeRozan of
Speaker 1: the San Antonio Spurs, No La Marcus Aldredge figures he'll
Speaker 1: get get some more shots there. As a primetime game,
Speaker 1: Dallas takes on San Antonio and see and tea. Yeah,
Speaker 1: a competitive game environment here with San Antonio at home
Speaker 1: and Dallas favored by four points but a strong to
Speaker 1: total and without LaMarcus Aldridge, without Yakam Purtle, now without
Speaker 1: Degen d Murray, the Spurs are really hampered for scoring
Speaker 1: and so we expect to Martin Rosen, we set that
Speaker 1: usage rate to pump up into the upper twenties. The
Speaker 1: assist rate has really ticked up in the absence of
Speaker 1: de gen d Murray as well clips and samples with
Speaker 1: him off the floor this season according to NBA Wowie.
Speaker 1: So we think it's a really good spot for to
Speaker 1: marrow Rose and the price tag is still pretty reasonable
Speaker 1: and there's lots of weeks to spend on this slate.
Speaker 1: That competitive game environment in San Antoniogos Dallas is when
Speaker 1: we want to attack. That is a game you're gonna
Speaker 1: want to attack. But the question becomes what to do
Speaker 1: with LaMarcus Aldridge Probable now tonight everything's gonna change with
Speaker 1: to Mark de Rosen and with Rudy Gay to make
Speaker 1: sure your head on over daily roado dot com before
Speaker 1: lineups lock tonight, so you get the most up to
Speaker 1: date information. And with that, I want to welcome Mike.
Speaker 1: Welcoming my co host. Of course, it's a VFF. More
Speaker 1: it goes, it's Frank Stample as we begin, pick number nine, Frankie,
Speaker 1: what's happening? But what's going on? Man? New location? Same bfs,
Speaker 1: what's going on? Sleep last night? I slipped up pretty well.
Speaker 1: I think it's good to hear. No interruptions, no drunk judy,
Speaker 1: no backache, the backs, the backs getting a little bit
Speaker 1: over here. Come on, we don't we don't normally get
Speaker 1: to do this on the show. You can do it
Speaker 1: all this show and there's not stopping give you there
Speaker 1: you go. Now we are talking all right, We're gonna
Speaker 1: get you up and run. And that was actually making
Speaker 1: it feeling a lot better. Don't you worry about that?
Speaker 1: That was great. Let's keep doing that. Let's keep doing that.
Speaker 1: We're here back for another white board series. You know
Speaker 1: how it works by now today the number nine pick.
Speaker 1: If you watch any of this throughout the fantasy football season. Normally,
Speaker 1: oh draft, two different teams picked them up against each other,
Speaker 1: and let you know which one I like more. Today
Speaker 1: we're gonna be doing it from a Rooto perspective and
Speaker 1: from a head to head points perspective, Greg, Normally I
Speaker 1: was doing it kindless number sign to H points like
Speaker 1: hashtag second half points? Is that true? You don't like
Speaker 1: my handwriting? Is there a problem there? Hashtag? This is
Speaker 1: a hashtag? Greg, there's two lines in that way. This
Speaker 1: is an h alright, Well it doesn't look like a
Speaker 1: sounder and age. But continue. I don't know that you
Speaker 1: have the best penmanship yourself saying, but can I continue? Alright?
Speaker 1: From a Rhodo perspective and from a head to head
Speaker 1: points perspective, if you have number nine pick, how are
Speaker 1: you supposed to handle this in your drafts? Let's at
Speaker 1: least get through the first overall pick here before we
Speaker 1: hit the break. Yeah, you're at number nine, right? We
Speaker 1: said this yesterday. Greg, you think there's a consensus top seven.
Speaker 1: I think that there's You think there's a consensus eight. Yes,
Speaker 1: I think there's a consensus top seven. Most people would
Speaker 1: argue f lind Or is in that group. Let's assume
Speaker 1: the top seven are gone Mookie Bets, Cody Bellinger, Ronald Lacuna,
Speaker 1: Mike Trout, Christian Yellow, the top two starting pitchers Garrick Cold,
Speaker 1: Jacob Graun and Francisco Lindor, which means the best player
Speaker 1: available in Rodeo is the never ending story that is
Speaker 1: Trevor story. Some people are going to argue for trade
Speaker 1: Turner in the spot, Greg, I'm not one of those people.
Speaker 1: I like what Trevor story brings to the table. He's
Speaker 1: cut down the strikeouts the past couple of seasons. He's
Speaker 1: gonna give you a thirty plus home runs. He's gonna
Speaker 1: give you twenty steels as well to County stat should
Speaker 1: be there obviously hitting in Coors Field. Really good lineup
Speaker 1: around him as well, Greg, I don't like to invest
Speaker 1: all of my stolen bases in one player, and I've
Speaker 1: explained this before. I had de Gordon in the main
Speaker 1: event last year. He went down and wasn't good frankly,
Speaker 1: and only wind up giving you stolen bases. When you
Speaker 1: put so much stock into one player for your steels,
Speaker 1: if that player gets hurt, then you're kind of screwed.
Speaker 1: And as I've liked to, you know, build these teams out.
Speaker 1: And I've said before Greg and Rhodo, I like to
Speaker 1: get a bunch of players that can give me twelve
Speaker 1: to fifteen steels, maybe twenty, maybe one player who can
Speaker 1: give me twenty five, because I think that that's the
Speaker 1: best way to round it out. So I'll take Trevor
Speaker 1: Story over Trade Turner. I think you'll get better numbers
Speaker 1: from Story than you will Turner. Are you okay with that? Well,
Speaker 1: so we talked about this right whole show about this.
Speaker 1: What do we do about those home roads? Supposed to
Speaker 1: Trevor story, trade Turner hasn't been able to stay healthy,
Speaker 1: same as Trevor Story earlier in his career. Which story
Speaker 1: for me, You're gonna get more power, you get less steels,
Speaker 1: but I think all the other numbers will probably be
Speaker 1: pretty similar. I'm good with Trevor's story over Trade Turner.
Speaker 1: All right, So let's move over to the head to
Speaker 1: head points format right now. Trevor story in Rhodo obviously,
Speaker 1: and as I've said time and time again, when it
Speaker 1: comes to the head to head points league, you need pitching.
Speaker 1: And I don't care if I'm pulling up Walker Bueller
Speaker 1: or Max sus are up the board. I want that
Speaker 1: ace on my head to head points team. So I'm
Speaker 1: going to take Walker Bueller, who is now my number
Speaker 1: three starting pitcher, Greg, because we had to lower Justin
Speaker 1: Verlander with the injuries that are going on with him
Speaker 1: right now. H And Max Scherzer today is dealing with
Speaker 1: a side injury. There. He says he's started to start
Speaker 1: on Sunday. He says he's gonna make a start on Sunday.
Speaker 1: He was supposed to start today. Scratched across precautionary is
Speaker 1: what they're saying. But let's not forget last year Max
Speaker 1: schurz Are dealt with back neck injuries as well, which
Speaker 1: hiboted him pitching in the World Series as well. A
Speaker 1: lot of people think Walker Bueler can take that next step,
Speaker 1: and I am one of those people, Greg. We saw
Speaker 1: last year he got off to a slow start. Remember
Speaker 1: in eighteen he pitched deep to the postseason into the
Speaker 1: World Series, so didn't get a normal spring training. But
Speaker 1: once he got going into the season, Greg from really
Speaker 1: may on, Walker Bueller pitched like one of the best
Speaker 1: pictures in baseball, like a top five talent that he is,
Speaker 1: so I have no problem pulling him off the board here.
Speaker 1: I want that Ace and I had to head points
Speaker 1: League and Walker Bueller. It is. So that's the question
Speaker 1: that I knew we were gonna have to answer at
Speaker 1: some point today. Right justin Verlander, He's not gonna start
Speaker 1: the season on time. Max Scherzer has this side issues.
Speaker 1: Supposed to make a start on Sunday. It's Tuesday. So
Speaker 1: all of a sudden on Friday, beside is not feeling
Speaker 1: better than you. Gotta worry. And I know that's creeping
Speaker 1: into your mind here, Frank, So who's the next guy up?
Speaker 1: Walker Viewler? And I get it. You always, when you
Speaker 1: have an opportunity, you always want to have a picture
Speaker 1: in this spot in the head Dead of Wine Lee
Speaker 1: because it provide you so many points. I get it.
Speaker 1: Walker Vieweler now moving up. When we come back, I
Speaker 1: want to ask where Walker Viewler should go in the
Speaker 1: Roado side of things. I understand head to head points,
Speaker 1: Frank even very adamant about that throughout your white board series.
Speaker 1: But when we come back, we're gonna talking about how
Speaker 1: high you're gonna move Walker Viewer up in the Rohado setting.
Speaker 1: And we get to the next two picks for both
Speaker 1: head to head points and for rodo stick around, hold

Speaker 1: with Frank's staffll I am Greg is the Fantasy BFS.
Speaker 1: We're going forward with this week's white board series pick
Speaker 1: number nine today, Walker Brueller for the head to head
Speaker 1: points category. Trevor's story. They never underneas story as the
Speaker 1: number one pick in a rodo format, but right before
Speaker 1: the break, I wanted to pose you the questions, sir.
Speaker 1: With Max shows are battling a side injury with Justin Verlander,
Speaker 1: Verlander having a strained lat How high it's too high
Speaker 1: for Walker Bueller? I think that he's in the mix
Speaker 1: on the side as well. From a Rooto perspective, if
Speaker 1: you wanted to take Walker Bueller over Trevor Story, I
Speaker 1: don't really have a problem with it. I think that
Speaker 1: you can make the argument to pull him that far
Speaker 1: up the board. Most people are not gonna want to
Speaker 1: do that. I think realistically you're looking at Lindore is
Speaker 1: gonna go eight, and Rohto Stories gonna go nine, Trade
Speaker 1: Turners gonna go tan, Juan Soto is gonna go eleven. Realistically,
Speaker 1: you probably see Walker Bueller go in that twelve range twelve, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen.
Speaker 1: That's where you're gonna see Walker Bueller and Max Scherzer.
Speaker 1: I would make the argument you can take him as
Speaker 1: early as nine, but I think realistically he's probably more
Speaker 1: so around eleven or twelve. So let me ask you this,
Speaker 1: you have pick eleven in a league, potentially, would you
Speaker 1: be taking Walker Bueler there? Uh, It is definitely something
Speaker 1: that I would consider, especially considering all the injuries to
Speaker 1: pitching right now. It just means other players are going
Speaker 1: to move be moved further up the board. Other pictures
Speaker 1: are and hitters are gonna slide down the board, So
Speaker 1: I pick eleven. I don't have a problem taking Walker
Speaker 1: Bueller there, Walker Bueller one, Soto, Trevor's story, Trade Turner.
Speaker 1: One of those four guys probably the pick at eleven.
Speaker 1: That's right, alright, yes, that sounds right, Craig, alright, we
Speaker 1: have pick eleven in a league together. Those who are wonderings,
Speaker 1: what are you talking about? I have no idea what
Speaker 1: you're referring to. What are you talking about? All right?
Speaker 1: Every idea? All right, let's move on to pick the
Speaker 1: number two for both of these guys. All right, so
Speaker 1: we'll go back to the road side of things here,
Speaker 1: and you're looking at pick uh my, if my math
Speaker 1: is correct, twelve team league. Just so everybody knows. During
Speaker 1: the break, Franco's counting on his fingers to try to
Speaker 1: figure out what number of pick it actually was. Your story,
Speaker 1: You can just do it in your head. Huh, Mr
Speaker 1: mathematicians A twelve the twelve team league? All right, so
Speaker 1: real quick? What number pick do you have? Sixteen? Second round? Yeah?
Speaker 1: You thought about that, right? Yeah? Alright, so what I
Speaker 1: thought about that? That's what I thought. That's what I do.
Speaker 1: He's not wrong about the county on the hands all right,
Speaker 1: So in the second round. I know that I like
Speaker 1: to stress star any pictures really in both formats, more
Speaker 1: so in head to head points. But Greg, Jose Ramirez
Speaker 1: is still available at pick sixteen in the second round
Speaker 1: of a twelve team league. Here, if you have the
Speaker 1: ninth overall pick. As much as I would like to
Speaker 1: make the argument for Shane Bieber pulling him up the
Speaker 1: board with Justin Verlander hurt, if Matt Serger is there,
Speaker 1: I would say go ahead and take him, assuming that
Speaker 1: he's healthy. Wait before we get more news there. But
Speaker 1: I gotta take Jose Ramirez here in the second round
Speaker 1: to pair with a Trevor Story. Here, Greg, two players
Speaker 1: who were five five counts, players who are going to
Speaker 1: give you everything, and they afford you so much flexibility
Speaker 1: for the rest of draft. Greg, you have you know,
Speaker 1: stolen basis so far, you have power, you have a
Speaker 1: little bit of everything. You know, maybe Jose Ramirez has
Speaker 1: two seventy this year to seventy five, He's not going
Speaker 1: to really excel in batting average. Trevor Story to eighty
Speaker 1: to eighty five hitter, you know, these aren't there your
Speaker 1: three hitters, so you're probably gonna have to get another
Speaker 1: one of those batting average contributors later on, but they
Speaker 1: don't you in batting you know, I I don't think
Speaker 1: there's anything wrong with this. I think a little bit
Speaker 1: later on in your draft you can just get a
Speaker 1: guy that is a fine average hitter, that's a three
Speaker 1: d hitter, and you're in a good spin far planet obviously.
Speaker 1: But I think both of these players, uh, Trevor Story
Speaker 1: and Ramirez give you solid batting average, give you steals,
Speaker 1: give you home runs. That is a fantastic start to
Speaker 1: a team, my favorite thus far, to be honest with. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I really really like this as well. And you're still
Speaker 1: gonna be able to get some solid starting pitchers in
Speaker 1: rounds three and four, and we'll attack that a little
Speaker 1: bit later on as well. Coming back on this side,
Speaker 1: we already have Walker Bueller. I don't think that you
Speaker 1: need to pull another starting pitcher up the board. I
Speaker 1: think that you could get some solid guys in rounds three, four,
Speaker 1: five of a twelve team league as well. I don't
Speaker 1: think that you need to force the issue too much there.
Speaker 1: So we're looking at a hitter. If Josie Ramirez is there,
Speaker 1: he's fine. He's a good hitter for a points league.
Speaker 1: He's gonna hit a ton of doubles, ton of home runs.
Speaker 1: Good play discipline as well. But the player that I
Speaker 1: would argue for, assuming that he's healthy, Greg because he
Speaker 1: left today in spring training with a foot injury. You
Speaker 1: got hit in the foot with a pitch and they
Speaker 1: said that he's fine. It was just Austetonnary. I would
Speaker 1: argue for Bryce Harper to go at pick sixteen here
Speaker 1: in the second round. He's so great in the Points
Speaker 1: League as well. Great because the plate discipline. Yes, he's
Speaker 1: going to strike out, but he's also gonna give you
Speaker 1: like a fifteen percent walk great which helps mitigate his strikeouts.
Speaker 1: I think we're in for a big year from Bryce Harper.
Speaker 1: Forty home runs to seventy plus average, fifteen stolen bases,
Speaker 1: the county sector. They're great line up, great ballpark. I
Speaker 1: think everything is there for Bryce Harper this year. Yeah.
Speaker 1: And once again, and I haven't loved every team that
Speaker 1: we put together, but like, I really like this team
Speaker 1: too because I think you got a potential first round vic,
Speaker 1: somebody that in fifteen team leagues is actually going towards
Speaker 1: the first round. Now you get him the second you
Speaker 1: get a potential ace that's healthy right now. In Walker
Speaker 1: Revieweler here and head to head points in the first
Speaker 1: I really like both of these two teams. I think
Speaker 1: we're thus far. These are two teams I feel the
Speaker 1: best about that we've done. I've never got this much positivity,
Speaker 1: this much optimism. We're staying next to each other, all right,
Speaker 1: So I think I feel more into it. And he
Speaker 1: was sitting across the room behind the table, you'd probably
Speaker 1: be like, well, I don't really like that team, but
Speaker 1: I think it would be I can't really really see it,
Speaker 1: you know, it is like what is that? Yeah? Now
Speaker 1: I'm in How can you hope you go back and
Speaker 1: watch the other whiteboard series that I've done, because they're
Speaker 1: all really good, as these are pretty good? How can
Speaker 1: these teams? Seriously, how do we do this? You have
Speaker 1: ninth pick in as well, Team League. That's how you
Speaker 1: do it. We have eleventh pick. We can start walking Upler,
Speaker 1: Brest Harbor cut it down potentially. Sounds fun, must sound fun?
Speaker 1: All right? Is my kind of teams. Let's keep going,
Speaker 1: all right, let's keep going. We have the first two
Speaker 1: picks here, Trevor's story and Jose Aremira is from a
Speaker 1: Rhodo perspective. So I said that we're going to attack
Speaker 1: starting pitching. Now is the time to do exactly that.
Speaker 1: And I'm going to take someone who broke out last
Speaker 1: year Greg and someone I think who can pick up
Speaker 1: where he left off, and that is Lucas Gilito of
Speaker 1: the Chicago White Sox. Greg doesn't like this pick. You
Speaker 1: see the face that he's making right now, But Greg,
Speaker 1: you might want to check out the underlying numbers. Might
Speaker 1: to Lucas Giolito, the swinging strike rate was acstlutely ridiculous.
Speaker 1: The strikeouts were there for him. He changed his mechanics.
Speaker 1: He is healthy again in spring. He has already made
Speaker 1: his debut. Uh Yas Monty Grandel is the catcher of
Speaker 1: the White Sox this year. I think he's gonna work
Speaker 1: wonders for Lucas Gilto, for Dylan Ceas he's a great
Speaker 1: pitch framer. He's gonna steal strikes for these guys. And
Speaker 1: last year Greg Gelto change the mechanics, saw increased velocity
Speaker 1: on the fastball per hour. Has the change up working
Speaker 1: a deadly fastball changeup combination. Greg I am buying in
Speaker 1: on everything that Lucas Gilto did last year. I think
Speaker 1: he's gonna give you a strikeouts, a mid three z R,
Speaker 1: A a sub one to zero whip. Matt modiqu is
Speaker 1: buying in Greg Modicka. Guy, we all know this. But
Speaker 1: the thing I LuSE Gildo. Everything you just said, it
Speaker 1: is true. He got so much better last year. All
Speaker 1: these underlying numbers they're up. It's one year, not even
Speaker 1: a full year, from worst to first, Greg, from worst
Speaker 1: to first, right, the worst starting pitcher when undrafted last year.
Speaker 1: Now you were taking him in this league as you were. Ace.
Speaker 1: That gives me pause. I'm a little bit nervous at
Speaker 1: this spot. Can we get a guy like Patrick Corvette
Speaker 1: fee a much more comfortable with Patrick Corbett? You can
Speaker 1: get a Patrick Corbett although he does like to golf, Greg,
Speaker 1: and he did pitch deep into the postseason. These are
Speaker 1: things that have worried you before. What about you, Darvish?
Speaker 1: You Darvish is also in this mix. Not as high
Speaker 1: as Lucas Gilto in my rankings. Personally, some people would argue,
Speaker 1: how can you make the argument for Yeah, but Lucas
Speaker 1: Gelto was great all season long. He was better for
Speaker 1: all right, for may On. Lucas Filido was more consistent
Speaker 1: and better. They're just nervous about him being my one.
Speaker 1: I just I don't see how you can make the
Speaker 1: argument for Gelto and not be worried about Darvish. You know,
Speaker 1: I'm not not nervous about Dark because Darvish has the
Speaker 1: injury concern. Patrick Corbyn is actually the guy I like
Speaker 1: the most. But you're right, those pitching into the World
Speaker 1: Series having it that Louis Steal would you rather have him?
Speaker 1: I think they're similar. Yeah, I think he has warts
Speaker 1: as well. I think and that's the problem with EA
Speaker 1: Trevor's story and whose era mirrors back to back? Well,
Speaker 1: you love the team now you don't love it anymore.
Speaker 1: Nervous so you would have liked if you started Walker
Speaker 1: Bueller here, then maybe get like Javier Bias in round three,
Speaker 1: start Walker Bueler Josier mirrors Haavy Bias. I'm interested. It's
Speaker 1: pretty fun. Is right here? Uh No, because he's not
Speaker 1: good into points lead Greg, so we're gonna go away
Speaker 1: from Javier bay Is. Honestly, you could have started three
Speaker 1: hitters in a row. Greg could have went Bias over
Speaker 1: here and then just you know, took three pitchers in
Speaker 1: a row. Where are you play five midfielder? You have
Speaker 1: that ability? All right, let's go back over to the
Speaker 1: head to head points the side of things here, Walker
Speaker 1: Bueller and Bryce Harper. We have our a starting pitcher.
Speaker 1: I want to take another hitter. And I said this yesterday, Greg,
Speaker 1: because the starting pitchers to me are not dissimilar. That
Speaker 1: you can get in around four versus round three. You've
Speaker 1: already have the ace. I don't think you need to
Speaker 1: force the issue. I'm gonna take someone who excels in
Speaker 1: the head to head points format. I hope I spelled
Speaker 1: this gentleman's name correctly, because it's always like he says,
Speaker 1: gentleman like this gentleman. It's not the easiest one to
Speaker 1: u to spell out there. But Xander Bogart's of the
Speaker 1: Boston Red Sox. A lot of people are not buying
Speaker 1: did last year, Greg, and neither of my Technically, I
Speaker 1: don't think he's gonna hit thirty five home runs or
Speaker 1: even thirty this year. But if he's twenty five to
Speaker 1: seven home runs, leads the league in baseball. In baseball,
Speaker 1: lease leads the league in doubles, sure, which he didn't
Speaker 1: he does. He does that in baseball, but he was
Speaker 1: he was third in double's last year. Doubles obviously help
Speaker 1: you in head to head points league. I still think
Speaker 1: the Red Sox lineup is really good. You're gonna get
Speaker 1: a ton of volume there. He doesn't strike out, solid
Speaker 1: plate discipline out of Sander boguards, and he pushed back
Speaker 1: on that pick. And he's better than Haabier bias and
Speaker 1: a head to head points lead. And that's something that
Speaker 1: it's probably hard for you to say. And I've never
Speaker 1: been a hobby here by this guy before, but this
Speaker 1: is the year where I'm finally buying into Habier Bias,
Speaker 1: which he'll probably be out for the rest of the
Speaker 1: season come May. I think the other players you want
Speaker 1: to mention around here, Charlie Blackman comes to mind. I
Speaker 1: think he's really good in the points league as well. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and then Charlie Blackman's an option. And but here's the
Speaker 1: one thing the splits Greg. The splits when it comes
Speaker 1: to Blackman. And I know this is something that you've
Speaker 1: actually researched, and they did a great article in The
Speaker 1: Athletic about this, is that black Men got better last
Speaker 1: year in the second half on the road, but in
Speaker 1: a head to head points lea, Greg, you need more consistency.
Speaker 1: And Charlie Blackman is someone who has struggled with that
Speaker 1: because the home road splits. All right, I'm cool, I'm cool.
Speaker 1: Was that the road guards? I am leaning towards this team. Now, okay,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna jump back over here to the Rhodo side
Speaker 1: of things. We already have Lucas Gilito. Greg. We have
Speaker 1: one young guy, which means we have to take an
Speaker 1: old guy. Can't have too many young players on one team. Greg,
Speaker 1: you guessed it. It's mom and Charlie More. I guess
Speaker 1: Nelson Crews actually that of the Tampa Bay Rays. I
Speaker 1: didn't say that, you're right, he said you guessed it.
Speaker 1: Oh well, Charlie Morton is the name that we're looking
Speaker 1: for here. Greg, you know what, let's just double down.
Speaker 1: We're gonna go Charlie Morton on both sides. Ridiculous. Why
Speaker 1: are you gonna do this? Man? How can you go
Speaker 1: away for that? On that one? No, no, no, Charlie
Speaker 1: Morton is better than Aaronola. If you like Aaron Nola
Speaker 1: or if you like no it's Syndergard More or zealous
Speaker 1: anybody who's in this mix for fourth round pitchers. If
Speaker 1: Clayton Kershaw falls to the spot, you can take that
Speaker 1: player over Charlie Morton. The point of this is to
Speaker 1: just kind of know which positions to target and win.
Speaker 1: So I do like Charlie Morton in the spot, But
Speaker 1: if you like another starting pitcher more. If Luis Castillo
Speaker 1: falls to the fourth round, greg Um, here you go.
Speaker 1: You start two hitters, two pictures on both sides of
Speaker 1: these drafts, and you kind of see how things play
Speaker 1: out differently if you start with Walker Brewler in the
Speaker 1: first round versus Charv Story in the first round. But
Speaker 1: I think this set up here, Greg, especially offensively, you
Speaker 1: have such a base of home runs, power stolen basis
Speaker 1: with Story and Jose, And then on this side you
Speaker 1: have two great starting pitchers already on your team, and
Speaker 1: you have players that contribute and had to add points
Speaker 1: because they had really good play disciplines. What do you
Speaker 1: think a pick number nine? Let oh snow on Twitter,
Speaker 1: on Facebook, on Instagram, wherever you contact us when we
Speaker 1: come back, freak and I'm gonna go over the news.

Speaker 1: new day. Yes, all right, back here on the b
Speaker 1: f f S. Greg Sauceman, He's Frank. Stand life, Frank.
Speaker 1: We're very close, very close to each other. Here rum
Speaker 1: back again. All right, here we go. We gotta make
Speaker 1: the back feel better for Greggy because the other day
Speaker 1: he sprained his back a little bit playing some spike ball. Ah.
Speaker 1: Here we go, but actually, get this feels all right.
Speaker 1: I didn't even know I was good at that. You're
Speaker 1: all right, King, I should really take advantage of this.
Speaker 1: We're on the same website that we're on Sports grade
Speaker 1: dot com. I'm about that follow on sports grad dot Com.
Speaker 1: Get on the grid. Let's get this of the top
Speaker 1: stories from today, frank and that begins with a Dusty
Speaker 1: Baker was saying earlier today about you on Alvarez. He
Speaker 1: left last week, he has something nice sore nouss you
Speaker 1: miss a couple of days, come back, uh each of
Speaker 1: the game. I believed today and then he didn't. Frankly, Now,
Speaker 1: Dustin Baker says, I don't know, are you hesitant here
Speaker 1: about your on Alvarez? I am hesitant when it comes
Speaker 1: to your do on Alvare. Is the problem with this,
Speaker 1: Greg is that it's also going to push up the
Speaker 1: price of Nelson Cruz. Because for the longest time, and
Speaker 1: we've said this, I don't know, going back to January
Speaker 1: when we started doing Fantasy Baseball prep, was that why
Speaker 1: would you take your do on Alvarez in the third
Speaker 1: round if you get Nelson Cruise in the sixth. It
Speaker 1: just didn't make sense all along. So now I think
Speaker 1: those two names are gonna move closer together. I think
Speaker 1: we could see your don Alvarez dropped down to the
Speaker 1: fourth round now, and we're gonna see Nelson Cruz move
Speaker 1: up to the fifth round, which obviously if you were
Speaker 1: buying Nelson Cruz is a problem. But I think you
Speaker 1: have to be worried about your Don Alvarez. This kid
Speaker 1: is twenty two years old, Greg, and he was already
Speaker 1: only playing designated hitter. Maybe the reason was because he
Speaker 1: has like some type of degenerative knees. Again, he's only
Speaker 1: twenty two years old, so I think that there is
Speaker 1: concerned there the fact that he was supposed to play
Speaker 1: today in spring training that has been to aid. Now
Speaker 1: he his status for opening day is legitimately in question.
Speaker 1: And we mentioned, Greg that a lot of people have
Speaker 1: UM drafts coming up, you know, coronavirus permitting obviously, but
Speaker 1: the drafts are still gonna happen. It's gonna be interesting
Speaker 1: to see how far you're Don Alvarez falls, because you know,
Speaker 1: since the weekend his a DP is at forty four.
Speaker 1: So now typically he was borderline second third round pick.
Speaker 1: Now in a fifteen team league, moving towards the back
Speaker 1: end of the third and if you're in a four
Speaker 1: twelve team league, he's consistently in the fourth round. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you were Don Alvarez understandably, So, Frankie, he's clearly taking
Speaker 1: a step back and he has to because we don't
Speaker 1: know when he will be healthy. Much like your guy
Speaker 1: Willie Calhoun right fractures his jaw. Chris Woodward announces, well,
Speaker 1: Nick still ACKs gonna be are starting every day left fielder.
Speaker 1: He was a guy that a lot of people were
Speaker 1: hot on earlier this spring where we thought he might
Speaker 1: have a job. He didn't. Um four Yankee top prospect
Speaker 1: on top prospect before Yankee prospects. He's gonna get a
Speaker 1: shot every day in left field. You were high on
Speaker 1: him a while back. You come back around next to luck. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I've already drafted him as well. I took him at
Speaker 1: best all his draft. The other day, once the news
Speaker 1: was announced on Willie Calhoun, breaks my heart, Greg, obviously,
Speaker 1: you know I was a big Willie cup Thank you,
Speaker 1: thank you for that. I was a big Willie Calhoun
Speaker 1: fan coming into the season. Hit twenty one home runs
Speaker 1: last year, and right around eighty games, I thought that
Speaker 1: this could be the year that he really takes off
Speaker 1: its thirty plus home runs. I trust in the bat.
Speaker 1: You look at the minor league numbers, doesn't strike out
Speaker 1: all that much, has big pop as well. Was slated
Speaker 1: to bat third in that Texas Rangers third or fourth,
Speaker 1: you know, right around where Joey gallow is gonna hit.
Speaker 1: But you know, there was a lot to like about
Speaker 1: Willy Calhoun. This here just breaks my heart. Poor guy
Speaker 1: gets hit in the face with a ninety five mile
Speaker 1: prour fastball. I think the earliest you could expect him
Speaker 1: is early May, maybe mid May. He did have surgery yesterday.
Speaker 1: He tweeted out that everything is good and he's looking
Speaker 1: back to getting on the field. But I am definitely
Speaker 1: interested in Nick Sole at Craig twenty five years old.
Speaker 1: He had to eighty nine with twenty seven home runs
Speaker 1: last year in Triple A when he got called up
Speaker 1: to the Major small sample size, only thirty three games,
Speaker 1: but a two ninety three batting average, he hit five
Speaker 1: home runs. And you'll like this even more, Greg, you
Speaker 1: gotta pay attention here. Eleven percent walk great while batting
Speaker 1: two nine three. This is somebody who can have, you know,
Speaker 1: a three sixty three, seventy plus on base percentage while
Speaker 1: he's filling in for Willie Calhoun. And I think if
Speaker 1: he performs well even once Willy comes back, they'll find
Speaker 1: a way to get him into the line up, whether
Speaker 1: that's moving Todd Fraser over to first base to third base,
Speaker 1: or if Rudette Odor is not performing well, they'll just
Speaker 1: put Nick sole Whack back at second that's his natural position.
Speaker 1: If he performs well early on, he will have a
Speaker 1: job for the rest of the season. I think it's
Speaker 1: clear that will probably be him at third base, Frankie,
Speaker 1: because they're working on Fraser out at first right now,
Speaker 1: because both Ronald Guzman and Greg Bird not getting it
Speaker 1: done in the spring. But one of them are going
Speaker 1: to have a job. The other one probably on the
Speaker 1: bench because of this injury to Willie Calhoun. But we
Speaker 1: will ultimately see. I want to talk I was gonna
Speaker 1: talk about some of these sleepers when you get to
Speaker 1: it a little bit, and it's Floria's boy, Corbyn Burns
Speaker 1: and he might have a roll way into that eating
Speaker 1: a little bit, but I don't want to continue on
Speaker 1: this grander scale. We referenced before Max Scherzer and we
Speaker 1: said that, hey, he's got this side issue. Now he
Speaker 1: says he's fine, it's no big deal. He's throw tomorrow. Hell,
Speaker 1: he's starting on Sunday. Not gonna worry about here. Here's
Speaker 1: the problem. We have a draft on Thursday, there is
Speaker 1: a draft. All we can long for you Friday, Saturday, Sunday.
Speaker 1: He's not starting until Sunday. The amount of setbacks that
Speaker 1: can happen between now and then are well infinite in
Speaker 1: all honest date, how concern to you about Max Scherzer
Speaker 1: after what we just went is with Justin Verlander, I
Speaker 1: think you have to be concerned, especially considering what he
Speaker 1: went through last year, Greg, battling the back injuries, the
Speaker 1: neck injuries. When it comes to Max Scherzer, uh, And look,
Speaker 1: he missed time throughout the playoffs, throughout the postseason, in
Speaker 1: the World Series, and you know, if anyone is a gamer,
Speaker 1: it's Max Scherzer. There was no chance he was going
Speaker 1: to miss action in the World Series unless he was
Speaker 1: severely severely injured, and that was the case last year.
Speaker 1: And he's not getting any younger, as we proved yesterday
Speaker 1: on the show, Greg, He's not thirty six years old,
Speaker 1: but he is thirty five years old, so he's getting
Speaker 1: up there in age. The same thing could be said
Speaker 1: for Justin Verlander, and I think that that was you know,
Speaker 1: that further proves maybe not pushing someone like Max shuts
Speaker 1: up the board. I mean, why would we react with
Speaker 1: one older picture getting hurt by pushing another older picture
Speaker 1: up the board. It just doesn't really make sense. So
Speaker 1: I think that, you know, I'm not going to react
Speaker 1: too far on this right now. I think that ultimately
Speaker 1: everything is going to be all right with Max Chers,
Speaker 1: or at least I'm hoping so. But I do think
Speaker 1: he's probably going to hover around that late first early
Speaker 1: second round range, and if he falls even a little bit,
Speaker 1: then I would probably just I would buy the dip
Speaker 1: when it comes to actions. So my question to you
Speaker 1: is what is the price have to be in an
Speaker 1: auction for you to buy? Yeah, so you know, look,
Speaker 1: he's probably gonna go for in a fifteen team league
Speaker 1: between thirty five and forty dollars anyway, So I mean,
Speaker 1: I don't really think that that changes things much, Right,
Speaker 1: So if you get on a little end of that, like,
Speaker 1: all right, if you if you could jump in at
Speaker 1: if you could jump in at thirty five dollars, why
Speaker 1: wouldn't you do that when it comes to Max Jersey,
Speaker 1: Because assuming everything is healthy, then you're getting the discount
Speaker 1: on him. Right. If everything's all right with Max Chers
Speaker 1: and he's good to go by opening day, then you're
Speaker 1: getting a two, three, maybe five dollar discount on Max Scherzer.
Speaker 1: I mean this is look, Greg, this is the game
Speaker 1: that we play. It's it's risk versus reward. I mean,
Speaker 1: how you know how risk averse are you? If you
Speaker 1: if you know, if you don't like to take chances
Speaker 1: on guys that are banged up right now in the spring,
Speaker 1: then you should probably stay away from Max Chers or Verlander,
Speaker 1: Chris sale Blake's now all the Yankees, including Gary Sanchez
Speaker 1: now as well get him next. Um. I think it
Speaker 1: comes down to what kind of draft are you? How
Speaker 1: aggressive are you? I think for sure Max Chers should
Speaker 1: be on our radar. Frank on Thursday. All right, back
Speaker 1: to the drawing board once again, not the white boards.
Speaker 1: Back to the drawing board, my little notepad here. We
Speaker 1: have a plan, though we're not plan. That's part of
Speaker 1: our plan. We just we need to save someone No, no,
Speaker 1: I still have I still have someone else written in here. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but if we could save five dollars and allocate that elsewhere,
Speaker 1: that could be very helpful to us. And then Max
Speaker 1: sus could be shut down for the year. Well, that
Speaker 1: that would be frustrating, That would be very very frustrating.
Speaker 1: All right, you imagined Gary Sanchez, Gary Sanche, we thought
Speaker 1: yesterday and you asked me when I moved him down
Speaker 1: at all, and I said no, he still went number two,
Speaker 1: catcher balleys and back stormies. He's gonna catch, will be
Speaker 1: back hitting this week, should play over the weekend. So now,
Speaker 1: much like Chris Sell, he has the flu. Uh huh.
Speaker 1: So Chris Sell had the flu and then really he
Speaker 1: had an elbow issue, and God knows about Chris Sale.
Speaker 1: When it comes to Gary Sanchez. He had a back
Speaker 1: injury and now has a fever. And of course when
Speaker 1: you hear fever these days, you automatically jump to conclusions
Speaker 1: and you think there's a chance he has the coronavirus.
Speaker 1: Now he has I've been tested with the coronavirus. Yet
Speaker 1: there's no reason to believe that he has the coronavirus
Speaker 1: at this point. But Gary Sanchez does have the flu,
Speaker 1: and that could drop him if it's not really the flu.
Speaker 1: In fact, like I kind of would rather be Corona
Speaker 1: than like a real back, serious back injury, because like
Speaker 1: that he'll get over and the cut a couple of weeks.
Speaker 1: Back injury, I could linger. Yeah, And this is probably
Speaker 1: something that has lingered. It wouldn't surprise me Greg if
Speaker 1: Gary Sanchez has been dealing with this back injury. Hmm,
Speaker 1: I don't know. Mamating back to last season like everybody
Speaker 1: else on the New York Yankees, James Paxton, Aaron Judge.
Speaker 1: He says, we're all battling injuries back last season during
Speaker 1: the postseason, and they didn't do anything until February or
Speaker 1: until March. So it's very frustrating, Greg. But Gary Sanchez
Speaker 1: is someone who has continuously battled injuries throughout his career, calf, shoulder, back.
Speaker 1: I feel like this guy has battled everything and now
Speaker 1: potentially coronavirus, which you know, Look, we're not gonna make
Speaker 1: light of the situation. It's a very serious situation. But
Speaker 1: I think you're almost right, Greg, because if this is
Speaker 1: you know, if they're almost masking an injury, I don't
Speaker 1: know it's been the Yankees with which saying that it's
Speaker 1: a flu. We've already seen another organization do that with
Speaker 1: Chris Sale and the Boston Red Sox. Now what if
Speaker 1: the Yankees are thinking, look, we've already delivered so much
Speaker 1: bad news to our fan base standing Severino, Paxton judge.
Speaker 1: They cannot be dealt another blow. We need to sell
Speaker 1: more season tickets, Greg, not that they really have a problem.
Speaker 1: I'm selling season tickets, but it wouldn't surprise me if
Speaker 1: they're almost kind of covering this up right now, this
Speaker 1: back injury. I hope that that's not the case. He
Speaker 1: wasn't on my radar before. Greg, He's probably further off
Speaker 1: of my radar now, Julie. He's eleven am opening day,
Speaker 1: eleven am? Are you kidding me? That's probably not true,
Speaker 1: that's what it says. I don't believe it. What do
Speaker 1: you think be like one pm? Yeah, it probably is
Speaker 1: a one pm start time. Can you look it up
Speaker 1: for me. I'm gonna look it up right now. I
Speaker 1: appreciate it. Um, Okay, we have two minutes until the break.
Speaker 1: I appreciate that. Sean. Um. After the break, we are
Speaker 1: going to get to some of these guys that well,
Speaker 1: you don't want to forget about undraft, thank Corbyn. Burns
Speaker 1: is certainly going to fit that mindset. Three pm. Why
Speaker 1: did I say a little five Even the fact that
Speaker 1: it's three pm is weird. Greg. That doesn't bother me
Speaker 1: as much of like eleven o five am, the Yankees
Speaker 1: are gonna start when while we're on the air, kind
Speaker 1: of kind of is right, let's get back to it.
Speaker 1: Let's get let's get back to it, we hope, is
Speaker 1: what we what we really should have said. As we
Speaker 1: continue looking at some of the big stories, UM over
Speaker 1: the last couple of days, you mentioned before the Bryce
Speaker 1: Harper left uh the Phillies game today with a bruce foot.
Speaker 1: He got hit in the foot. It's precautionary, nothing's happening.
Speaker 1: This happened to me last year. Not be afraid because
Speaker 1: remember it's actually this exact thing happened to me last
Speaker 1: We had the NFBC drafts over at the Stewart Hotel
Speaker 1: last year. We were broadcasting live and I was all set.
Speaker 1: I think I had picked twelve. My fingers on the
Speaker 1: sugar and I was like, I'm drafting Bryce Harper. I
Speaker 1: think he's gonna have a massive season. I'm drafting him
Speaker 1: in the first round of my NFBC main event. Trap.
Speaker 1: What happened, Greg, He got hit in the foot. In
Speaker 1: the foot the day before, we didn't know what was
Speaker 1: going on. I panicked. I wound up taking Aaron Judge.
Speaker 1: What a fool this guy was? Bryce Harper is gonna
Speaker 1: be just fine, and if he slips in your draft,
Speaker 1: take advantage as a result. Who are you forgetting about? Who? Sure?
Speaker 1: Did you forget about? We know the term sleeper is dead.
Speaker 1: We're gonna try to find those sleepers anyway. Corbyn Burns
Speaker 1: and a whole lot more come on your wide right

Speaker 1: minutes of the program, Quick Show Today, Frank, I know Greg,
Speaker 1: you did so much on it, even did a whiteboard series.
Speaker 1: You told everyone what they should do with the ninth
Speaker 1: overall pick, and you love both teams. Frank, I believe that,
Speaker 1: like you didn't talk about for seven minutes in the show,
Speaker 1: neither did you. It was Alex Fassano and a tip drill,
Speaker 1: which sean gloss the market. What did you do? Talk
Speaker 1: for three seconds? I would talk for three minutes on
Speaker 1: each side of it. No, you didn't look two minutes.
Speaker 1: He talked for the first two minutes, and then you
Speaker 1: throw to a tip drill which took you a fifteen seconds.
Speaker 1: And then we came back and it was me. Are
Speaker 1: you saying' not holding up my weight today on the show? No? No,
Speaker 1: doing a great job, Greg, speaking of Wait, look at
Speaker 1: all the weight this guy is losing right now. Look
Speaker 1: at the same the same way I want to stand
Speaker 1: up show off the a. I know once upon a
Speaker 1: time we like oiled you up here on the network
Speaker 1: and he had something we should probably look into once again.
Speaker 1: Look at this guy. Look out, slim, this guy to
Speaker 1: take my shirt? Want to take my shirt? Beat spot,
Speaker 1: Greg Susan, Let me get look, let me get out
Speaker 1: of the way. Which way to look at this? Look
Speaker 1: at this it's doing great man. Little You probably lost
Speaker 1: about twenty pounds from last year, right, Yes, you did
Speaker 1: two years ago. I pass right there you go two
Speaker 1: years ago. Whatever it was, Look at this guy and
Speaker 1: at Donnasna and look at I didn't say you actually
Speaker 1: had to do it. Greg. You know who needs Carlos
Speaker 1: Stanton when you have Greig's Carlos stan could be on
Speaker 1: the field tomorrow running shut down for the next two months. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we're not Carlos stand okay. We couldn't wind up drafting
Speaker 1: Corby Burns, though, Frankie, because Eric Lowerd He's not going
Speaker 1: to be ready to start this season according to the
Speaker 1: Milwaukee Brewers, which means that a player like Corbin Burns
Speaker 1: potentially or Freddie Peralta, well, one of them are gonna
Speaker 1: be in the rotation Brewers, one of them or both
Speaker 1: of them? Why not? You're right? Well, is that the
Speaker 1: only one spot? I think? Is that? Is that true?
Speaker 1: What's ross resource have to say? Frank, Well, we'll find
Speaker 1: out seconds much faster computer. Here here we go, Brandon,
Speaker 1: would you, Adrian, how's it? Brett Anderson, Josh Lynde, Freddie Peralta, Greg,
Speaker 1: You're correct, it could be Corby Anderson out of there
Speaker 1: come it will be injured enough? Uh? Any interesting? Freddy
Speaker 1: Parlta or Burns. You know, I do like both of
Speaker 1: these guys. Greg and honestly this entire time. This is
Speaker 1: why I don't work for fan Graps or Roster Resource.
Speaker 1: I thought that they both had jobs. Honestly, I thought
Speaker 1: both Freddy par Alta and Corban Burns had jobs and
Speaker 1: maybe they will soon enough, if someone else gets injured
Speaker 1: or you know, obviously there is if someone does not
Speaker 1: live up to the expectations, someone like Bred Anderson or
Speaker 1: josh Lynn Bloom who they just brought back from Korea,
Speaker 1: similar situation to you know, guys like Merrill Kelly the
Speaker 1: past couple of seasons. Um, we'll see what happens there
Speaker 1: in this rotation, but I think that there's upside to
Speaker 1: be had with both of these guys. Greg. Freddy Peralta
Speaker 1: has pitched very well in the spring. He pitched so
Speaker 1: well that he has earned himself a contract extension, and
Speaker 1: he's been working more on his breaking pitches, more so
Speaker 1: on the slider. We've continuously talked about the past couple
Speaker 1: of years how Freddy Parlza throws his fastball like eight
Speaker 1: percent of the time. That's just way too much throw
Speaker 1: your fastball. Even the best fastball like Lance Lynn throws
Speaker 1: like three different fastballs and it's about like seventy percent
Speaker 1: of the time. But if you're throwing seventy to eighty,
Speaker 1: you're not going to live in Major League baseball as
Speaker 1: a starting pitcher. He's been working more on his breaking pitches,
Speaker 1: Freddy Parlta that is, and the Brewers have liked what
Speaker 1: they've seen so much that they gave him a contract extension.
Speaker 1: But Greig, I don't want to forget about Corban Burns because,
Speaker 1: like Mitch Keller, I think that he was just one
Speaker 1: of the most unlucky pitchers in baseball. Last year. He
Speaker 1: had an e r A over eight. He was bad.
Speaker 1: He stinks, Greg his exfit three point three seven, his
Speaker 1: skill INTERACTI v r A Sierra three point five. We
Speaker 1: do not swinging strike rade seventeen percent. The stuff is
Speaker 1: nasty for Corbin Burns, and he's looked very good in
Speaker 1: the spring. Believe he had an outing yesterday three ending
Speaker 1: six strikeouts as well. Don't forget he was actually battling
Speaker 1: with Brandon Woodroff last year the final job in the
Speaker 1: Brewers rotation, and obviously the rest was history when it
Speaker 1: came to Brandon Woodruff. But Corban Burns and Freddy parl
Speaker 1: are two players that I both really do like. I
Speaker 1: think that they have some upside, and I would be
Speaker 1: taking stabs on either one of them late in their drafts.
Speaker 1: I so I think Corbyn Burns has higher upside. Though.
Speaker 1: Let me throw you a name, Frankie that we haven't
Speaker 1: talked about cause you don't like, and that's David Donald
Speaker 1: because he's always injured and you know you don't like
Speaker 1: these always injured players. But but black earlier today said
Speaker 1: Davidal's about leadoff for this team, with Charlie Blackman staying
Speaker 1: in the middle of the order. We don't have the
Speaker 1: sea bases anymore anyway, so that any third doesn't really
Speaker 1: change much for me. But this lineup is going to
Speaker 1: be David dal at the top, follow by Trevor Story,
Speaker 1: Charlie Blackman, Nolan Erronado, your boy, Danny Murphy, and then
Speaker 1: Ryan Meek exactly. So with David Dal about in leadoff
Speaker 1: caveat you know that's coming if he can stay healthy.
Speaker 1: Are we forgetting about Daviddal a little bit? Yeah? I
Speaker 1: think he is coming out of value right now. Actually,
Speaker 1: something you could do, Greg is look up, wait is it?
Speaker 1: Hold on? Look at the I I want you to
Speaker 1: look at the auction. Your customer is gone. Right, that's
Speaker 1: not how It's not you because it's gone. It wasn't
Speaker 1: just me, alright, So it's something I'm look into here.
Speaker 1: I didn't not believe. You didn't believe. I believe believe
Speaker 1: everything you say. All right, Well, David Dal was great
Speaker 1: last year when he was on the field. He played
Speaker 1: a hundred games, Greg was batting three oh two. He's
Speaker 1: been very good whenever he's on the field. That's not
Speaker 1: the issue. It's just a matter of health. And look,
Speaker 1: if he can stay healthy, please look up the aucition
Speaker 1: rights of David Dal, because you know, you've actually just
Speaker 1: you know, opened my eyes up to something here. I
Speaker 1: might actually want to be in on David doll nine.
Speaker 1: And I don't really love that price when it comes
Speaker 1: to David dald was getting like five bucks now. But look,
Speaker 1: if he's healthy, David Dal could go gosh for sale.
Speaker 1: Is that guy gonna pitch this here? If Daviddal could
Speaker 1: stay healthy, he's gonna score ninety plus runs, He's gonna
Speaker 1: hit twenty twenty five home runs. He's gonna hit to
Speaker 1: a D plus. It's just a matter of health. But
Speaker 1: he is the classic example of a player who is
Speaker 1: going later than he should because of issues with his
Speaker 1: health in the past. But if he stays healthy, I'm
Speaker 1: not gonna go as far as to say he could
Speaker 1: be a week league winner, Greg, but he is someone
Speaker 1: that could severely outperform his ADP and his auction price.
Speaker 1: Problem is he's never stay healthy ever. We're not just like, oh,
Speaker 1: last year never. He has never ever stayed healthy ever.
Speaker 1: We thought that he could be coming because of what
Speaker 1: he did in Seen with a Rod, where he came
Speaker 1: up at five steals, seven home runs. You thought that
Speaker 1: would translate over a full season. We're looking at a
Speaker 1: guy that could wind up being Instead, you get a
Speaker 1: guy that barely plays twenty games, but a hundred games
Speaker 1: last year, Frank, as you said, that's the most of
Speaker 1: his career, a hundred games. It's not good enough. Man.
Speaker 1: You have fifteen home runs, which is fine, four steals,
Speaker 1: four caught stealings is gonna get up to ten. Maybe
Speaker 1: if you're lucky, he could help you the batting average department.
Speaker 1: I think he's around a three hundred hitter, maybe tweety.
Speaker 1: But Willie stay healthy, I don't know. And they always
Speaker 1: had a lot of guys out there in Colorado that
Speaker 1: can play right melt Topia. But David Donalds, they're not
Speaker 1: gonna putton him. He's still young enough. Like maybe they'll
Speaker 1: give him a few more because he's been hurt, but
Speaker 1: he's yeah, he's turning twenty six here on April one.
Speaker 1: But look, I think that you know, as long as
Speaker 1: he's healthy, they'll give him some maintenance days here to there.
Speaker 1: But I think he's gonna play every single day for
Speaker 1: the Colorado Rockies. Um, you know, health permitted, he sat
Speaker 1: against the Lefties, but do they have like who else
Speaker 1: are they gonna use out there? They gonna really are
Speaker 1: they gonna bet him for Ian Desmond? No, they're probably
Speaker 1: gonna have been Sam Hilliard for Ian des Dude. But
Speaker 1: Bock's crazy, say it's his face that will next time
Speaker 1: we next time we see him. But great, this is something.
Speaker 1: This is an exercise that we were doing last night.
Speaker 1: Is you know, we were looking into which players can
Speaker 1: could severely outperform their auction value. David Doll is one
Speaker 1: of them. At nine dollars. The David Doll at nine
Speaker 1: dollars could be the player that that helps. I don't
Speaker 1: say league winner either, but he's fine, he can easily
Speaker 1: return twenty dollars. It comes out to I would have
Speaker 1: to have a lot of other safe outfielders right like
Speaker 1: I would. I would need him to be probably my
Speaker 1: third or fourth outfielder, and I had to feel really
Speaker 1: good about the health of my first two. Okay, So
Speaker 1: I wouldn't put him on a team, let's say, for example,
Speaker 1: with like Starling Marte, because that's too much injury risk.
Speaker 1: I agree with that. Okay, let me move on. One
Speaker 1: of the closures that we were after. Doesn't cost you
Speaker 1: all that much. Is Joe and then is in Detroit.
Speaker 1: And exactly what we hoped would happen happened. Ron garden
Speaker 1: Higher announced earlier today or last night that who was
Speaker 1: the sars on that actually that was our own Craig
Speaker 1: bish Greig. We revealed that on the show on the
Speaker 1: show I Know So No. He interviewed Ron garden Hier
Speaker 1: yesterday and he asked him about, you know who the
Speaker 1: closer was going to be, and he tweeted out a
Speaker 1: small snippet of that interview earlier today and then we
Speaker 1: aired the rest of it on Fantasy Sports today. But yeah,
Speaker 1: Joe Haimenez is going to be the guy he mentioned
Speaker 1: Buck Farmer first and foremost as the setup man, and
Speaker 1: if anything were to happen to Johannes, Buck Farmer is
Speaker 1: the guy, so has some swinging miss stuff. We saw
Speaker 1: a career high swinging strike er at a Buck Farmer
Speaker 1: last year, more strikeouts than ever before over a strikeout
Speaker 1: per ending. So if you do want to handcuff Joe
Speaker 1: hamann is in some of these deeper drafts, Buck Farmer
Speaker 1: is the guy. But Joe Hamen is Gregg in rodod leagues.
Speaker 1: As you're as a low end catcher two, a catcher three,
Speaker 1: I have no problem with it. John is not a
Speaker 1: catcher Frank closer whatever they will start with seeing I
Speaker 1: do mind him as like your second catcher closer, second
Speaker 1: closer to end of the show. Um, all right, so yeah,
Speaker 1: Joe men is a fine second closer. We thought we've
Speaker 1: we're on the Shane Green bad bad back and backs
Speaker 1: back years. Destroit gets saves. That is not an issue.
Speaker 1: Joe Menace can be good. We're in a good spot.
Speaker 1: Like I wants my dem Shane Green I think had
Speaker 1: twenty five saves last year and the Tigers first thirty win.
Speaker 1: He was awesome. It's crazy and even before he was
Speaker 1: just as good for us. Not anymore unless you want
Speaker 1: to draft Shane Greening. I don't even think he's on
Speaker 1: the team, the Braves. The Braves. I'm in on Joe
Speaker 1: Mann is here a couple of moments left in the
Speaker 1: program exactly two minutes, says we just heard from our
Speaker 1: own Sean Gassmantia back in New York. Um, a couple
Speaker 1: of minutes or a minute each on your boys ready,
Speaker 1: friend Murray has two bottles the last night. What can
Speaker 1: I say, Greg, he's climate This guy is gonna hit
Speaker 1: forty five home runs this year. That seems like a stretch.
Speaker 1: Whatever the over under is, and I know that they
Speaker 1: have them somewhere. Take the over we are the FANDOL
Speaker 1: sports book. Frank, I'm sure you can find this, all right,
Speaker 1: So please someone, Brian, someone go go find me, Um,
Speaker 1: go find me the over under for fran Rays home runs,
Speaker 1: because he's going over over the number. Other player I
Speaker 1: wanted to mention here quickly, Mauricio Dubon. I can not
Speaker 1: believe read It only took a Rotal World blurb for
Speaker 1: Greg to find out who Mauricio Dubon is. Meanwhile, I've
Speaker 1: be trying to tell him about it for the past
Speaker 1: two weeks. Um, But now he's gonna have outfield els
Speaker 1: really potentially also play a little center field for the
Speaker 1: San Francisco Giants. What is not to like about Marico Dubon?
Speaker 1: Look at these numbers. Number only thirty games last year,
Speaker 1: four homers, nice, three stolen bases. Look at last year
Speaker 1: in the minor leagues in Triple A twenty home runs,
Speaker 1: ten stolen bases. He had two nineties seven with the Brewers,
Speaker 1: three three with the Giants. He's got the hit tool.
Speaker 1: He doesn't strike out all that much in a deeper league,
Speaker 1: in an NL only as a middle infielder, or in
Speaker 1: a fifteen team league as your middle infielder, or as
Speaker 1: a reserve bat Ricio Dubon someone I'm looking at gonna
Speaker 1: have that dual position eligible. Mauricio Dubons not Italian. All right,
Speaker 1: I'm next. It's for roll coast to coast. He's here,
Speaker 1: Mafia is here. He's gonna have your updates for the
Speaker 1: next couple of hours. I want to thank Shawn and
Speaker 1: Alex back in New York City tomorrow. Fright, we keep
Speaker 1: referring to these auctions. We're gonna do an auction at
Speaker 1: Draft Primer on the program tomorrow. Let's call. Are you ready?
Speaker 1: Let's do it so you want? You want to set
Speaker 1: it outside an hour and make our team. I got
Speaker 1: one tomorrow. If you have eastern right here in sports
Speaker 1: grad Well, Gregg, we can't give out all of our
Speaker 1: targets because then we're not gonna get anything. We'll see
Speaker 1: what happens. He's spring stable. I'm Gregan. Thanks so much
Speaker 1: for everybody watching listening. We will do it all go tomorrow.
Speaker 1: We hope. I want to be the next Daily Fantasy Millionaire.
