1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,239
Speaker 1: Hey, thanks for tuning in. I am Eli Sussman, managing

2
00:00:03,320 --> 00:00:06,520
Speaker 1: editor of fish Stripes, a community for Miami Marlins fans.

3
00:00:07,040 --> 00:00:10,280
Speaker 1: Fish Stripes has revamped its podcast operations for the twenty

4
00:00:10,360 --> 00:00:13,920
Speaker 1: nineteen season. We're now part of the Espianation podcast network

5
00:00:14,480 --> 00:00:17,200
Speaker 1: for twenty nineteen and hopefully beyond that. And so what

6
00:00:17,239 --> 00:00:18,759
Speaker 1: does that mean for you? That means we're doing a

7
00:00:18,760 --> 00:00:22,000
Speaker 1: couple new shows, including this one, which is dedicated to

8
00:00:22,079 --> 00:00:25,000
Speaker 1: the Marlins farm system. This is one hundred mile per

9
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:27,760
Speaker 1: hour fastballs from six Dos Sanchez and one oh two

10
00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:31,640
Speaker 1: from Jorge Guzman. This is Connor Scott's projectable frame, Will

11
00:00:31,720 --> 00:00:35,720
Speaker 1: Banfield's flawless technique behind the plate. This is Isan Diez's

12
00:00:35,720 --> 00:00:40,640
Speaker 1: gorgeous swing, Monte Harrison's off the charts athleticism, Braxton Garrett

13
00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:43,840
Speaker 1: returning from Tommy John and Matt Given close behind. This

14
00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:47,200
Speaker 1: is Austin Dean and Zach Gallen patiently waiting for call ups.

15
00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:51,120
Speaker 1: Sean Reynold's putting it all together, Josse Devers growing up

16
00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:54,360
Speaker 1: before our very eyes, and Victor Victor Mesa living up

17
00:00:54,360 --> 00:00:57,560
Speaker 1: to the hype. Plus one hundreds more minor leaguers scattered

18
00:00:57,600 --> 00:01:02,320
Speaker 1: across the different affiliates. This is earning their stripes, weekly

19
00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:05,880
Speaker 1: interviews and banter centered around the young talents expected to

20
00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:09,440
Speaker 1: lead the Marlins to sustainable success. And here for our

21
00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:13,520
Speaker 1: preview episode, I'm Eli Sussman. I'm hosting it, but don't

22
00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:16,160
Speaker 1: get used to that. For the rest of this season

23
00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:18,760
Speaker 1: and beyond, we're gonna have three man co hosts and

24
00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:21,880
Speaker 1: they're joining me here today. All the Marlins affiliates, the

25
00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:24,160
Speaker 1: full season affiliates, are going to be an action. The

26
00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:26,600
Speaker 1: one guy that's not going to be an action is

27
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:29,640
Speaker 1: Osiris Johnson. He was their second round pick in the

28
00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:33,520
Speaker 1: twenty eighteen draft, so he had a surprise injury in

29
00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:35,280
Speaker 1: a minor league game just a couple of weeks ago.

30
00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:38,800
Speaker 1: He's under gone surgery. He indicated on Instagram he's out

31
00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:41,160
Speaker 1: for the season. The Marlins are officially saying five to

32
00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:44,760
Speaker 1: six minutes with a stress fracture and his leg. Over

33
00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:47,920
Speaker 1: the offseason, Ian, you wrote a pretty in depth article

34
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:50,760
Speaker 1: on what Osiris is and what he's hopefully going to

35
00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:54,000
Speaker 1: be in the future. So just for those that aren't

36
00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:56,080
Speaker 1: that familiar with him, you know, just tell our audience

37
00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:58,880
Speaker 1: about Osiris and who is as a player and what

38
00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:01,240
Speaker 1: his strengths and weaknesses is well.

39
00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:03,720
Speaker 2: Osarrus Johnson is the type of player what do you hear,

40
00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:07,560
Speaker 2: explosive tools. That's the type of player you're looking at.

41
00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:13,079
Speaker 2: Osirius has the hit tool, youth projectability, the power of projectability,

42
00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:15,720
Speaker 2: the speed projectability, and this is all coming out of

43
00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:19,720
Speaker 2: premium position, which is shortstop. He was the second youngest

44
00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:22,120
Speaker 2: player in all the excuse me, the youngest player in

45
00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:24,880
Speaker 2: the twenty eighteen draft, and the Marlins selected in the

46
00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:29,040
Speaker 2: second round. This injury comes to probably the worst time

47
00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:32,000
Speaker 2: in his career for him. He was injured late last

48
00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:34,320
Speaker 2: year for the Constructional League, so he missed some time

49
00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:37,040
Speaker 2: working out with the top guys last year, and after

50
00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:41,920
Speaker 2: productive spring, he gets a injury like this right before

51
00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:44,919
Speaker 2: the season, and for a guy like this, it's tough

52
00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:48,560
Speaker 2: not knowing where you're gonna play going forward and the

53
00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:51,919
Speaker 2: year that's gonna be completely dedicated to playing at one

54
00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:54,440
Speaker 2: spot and knowing where you're gonna play every day is huge,

55
00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:56,560
Speaker 2: and getting that taken from you at a young age

56
00:02:56,639 --> 00:03:00,320
Speaker 2: is tough. So it's gonna be exciting to see how

57
00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:02,280
Speaker 2: he grows from this and how the rehab.

58
00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:08,280
Speaker 3: Those absolutely and actually, you know, hit on that with me.

59
00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:10,760
Speaker 4: When someone gets hurt in their career, you look at

60
00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:14,200
Speaker 4: two things, right, You look at their age and where

61
00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:17,080
Speaker 4: they are developmentally, and you hit it right.

62
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:17,440
Speaker 3: On the head.

63
00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:21,760
Speaker 4: This is just a tough, tough go and developmental year

64
00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:25,280
Speaker 4: to have this kind of injury. We see, you know,

65
00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:27,400
Speaker 4: even if it's from his father or from him or

66
00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:29,600
Speaker 4: his social media, that he's a guy who's going to

67
00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:31,560
Speaker 4: go after it. You know that he's going to hit

68
00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:37,400
Speaker 4: that hard. You know that het. But that age of eighteen,

69
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:41,280
Speaker 4: that first real big step in his development, to get

70
00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:43,160
Speaker 4: hurt now is just it's a tough break.

71
00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:50,120
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, I love I love what he showed

72
00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:53,680
Speaker 5: last year and like the great the Gulf Coast League

73
00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:58,280
Speaker 5: in rookie ball, just crushing the ball at times, showing

74
00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:02,160
Speaker 5: elite that speed, showing the ability to drive the ball around.

75
00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:05,240
Speaker 5: And it's definitely really upsetting that he gets hurt at

76
00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:08,280
Speaker 5: this stage in his career because this could have been

77
00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:10,800
Speaker 5: a really big year for him. He was probably most

78
00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:12,600
Speaker 5: likely going to start where the rest of the rookies

79
00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:15,400
Speaker 5: are starting in Clinton this year, so we could have

80
00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:18,960
Speaker 5: seen him against some you know, good quality pitching and

81
00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:22,680
Speaker 5: seeing how he continued develop in his age eighteen season.

82
00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:24,760
Speaker 5: I mean, it's crazy to think that he's only eighteen

83
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:27,120
Speaker 5: years old and he's playing and you know, in low

84
00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:31,600
Speaker 5: A baseball, and so I just think it's really upsetting

85
00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:34,240
Speaker 5: to see him go down with this time, with this

86
00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:36,440
Speaker 5: type of injury, especially at this point in his career,

87
00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:38,159
Speaker 5: because he was one of the guys that I was

88
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:41,360
Speaker 5: looking forward to following most this year on you know,

89
00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:43,960
Speaker 5: on the Daily box Score that I read up on.

90
00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:47,479
Speaker 5: I was really excited to see him. So to see

91
00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:49,480
Speaker 5: him go out with this kind of injury, it's definite,

92
00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:53,039
Speaker 5: Like it's good that it's happening early, but it's often

93
00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:57,000
Speaker 5: happening early. It's I mean, injuries are never really well timed.

94
00:04:57,040 --> 00:05:02,800
Speaker 5: But to miss an entire season in which it been

95
00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:06,040
Speaker 5: really huge for the developments really upsetting. Anyway.

96
00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:08,279
Speaker 1: The way what Ethan hit on is that he was

97
00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:11,840
Speaker 1: probably projected to go to Clinton And we have our

98
00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:14,400
Speaker 1: official rosters out at the start of the opening day

99
00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:17,039
Speaker 1: in the minor leagues, each of the four fold season

100
00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:19,279
Speaker 1: affiliates and we're gonna work our way up starting with

101
00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:21,760
Speaker 1: Loway Clinton. And this is the first year that.

102
00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:22,880
Speaker 5: They're all affiliate.

103
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:26,520
Speaker 1: They used to have that affiliate in Greensboro, the Greensboro Grasshoppers.

104
00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:28,839
Speaker 1: But now they move over to Iowa. In case you

105
00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:31,920
Speaker 1: guys didn't know where Clinton was, because I really didn't

106
00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:35,400
Speaker 1: until this move happens. But yeah, in the middle of

107
00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:39,560
Speaker 1: the country. And we have our rosters, and even without

108
00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:42,440
Speaker 1: us Cyrus, they have a couple of those really highly

109
00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:44,960
Speaker 1: touted draft pick from last year. They have Will Banfield,

110
00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:51,360
Speaker 1: they have Connor Scott, whether highly regarded prospects, got Chris Torres.

111
00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:54,000
Speaker 5: All these guys are.

112
00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:56,520
Speaker 1: In the Baseball America Top thirty for the Marlin system.

113
00:05:57,320 --> 00:05:59,160
Speaker 1: But yeah, just to pass it around one more time,

114
00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:02,560
Speaker 1: starting with Ethan, what do you notice about this Clinton roster?

115
00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:05,119
Speaker 1: Guys you're excited about guys who may be a little

116
00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:08,880
Speaker 1: underrated on the team, and just you know generally how

117
00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:12,920
Speaker 1: important these players are in the Marlin system overall.

118
00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:15,479
Speaker 5: Well, one guy I'm really really excited about and you

119
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:18,599
Speaker 5: hit on him as Chris Torres. I like these middle

120
00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:22,159
Speaker 5: infielders for the Marlins, and Torres has shown a little

121
00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:25,960
Speaker 5: more prowess at the plate than say a Jose Devers has,

122
00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:30,960
Speaker 5: and he's just kind of this athletic guy. He drew

123
00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:33,520
Speaker 5: a bunch of walks last year. Surprisingly that kind of

124
00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:36,120
Speaker 5: surprised me. When he was playing in a short season

125
00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:38,919
Speaker 5: rookie ball with the TV, I think is where he

126
00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:42,640
Speaker 5: would he looked. Really his numbers were really good and

127
00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:44,640
Speaker 5: really jumping off the page. And I like the kind

128
00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:47,640
Speaker 5: of build that he has, just like an athletic middle infielder.

129
00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:50,320
Speaker 5: Those are my favorite guys to watch. And if he

130
00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:52,240
Speaker 5: can really come along with the bat, I think he

131
00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:55,880
Speaker 5: can either can rock it up through the system. Another

132
00:06:55,960 --> 00:07:06,800
Speaker 5: storyline obviously the rookie but I'll let it yeah, go ahead,

133
00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:13,200
Speaker 5: Oh my bad anyway. Another storyline is obviously Banfield and Scott,

134
00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:16,640
Speaker 5: the younger guys that we've talked about a lot. I'll

135
00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:18,640
Speaker 5: let you guys touch on that more later. But one

136
00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:21,679
Speaker 5: guy that really has a big year coming ish Thomas Jones,

137
00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:25,800
Speaker 5: a guy that's just kind of been meddling right in

138
00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:28,400
Speaker 5: the middle of the top thirty, and I really think

139
00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:30,200
Speaker 5: this is a make or break year for him. He's

140
00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:33,640
Speaker 5: still sitting in low a ball. He's been with Greensboro

141
00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:36,800
Speaker 5: for what feels like forever. He was with Greenboro for

142
00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:39,320
Speaker 5: what feels like forever, and I really think this is

143
00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:43,120
Speaker 5: a big make or break year for Jones. And he's

144
00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:45,760
Speaker 5: got to perform now and make his way through the system,

145
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:48,280
Speaker 5: or you know, it could be the end of the

146
00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:50,800
Speaker 5: line for him with the Marlins. But there's definitely some

147
00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:54,480
Speaker 5: really intriguing guys. Sean Reynolds is another name that pops

148
00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:57,120
Speaker 5: up in carnac is another name that pops up. But

149
00:07:57,280 --> 00:07:59,080
Speaker 5: I mean, really, at the end of the day, it

150
00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:01,240
Speaker 5: comes down to Panfield than Scott, because those are the

151
00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:03,720
Speaker 5: two of the most important guys in the future of

152
00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:04,840
Speaker 5: this franchise.

153
00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:07,040
Speaker 3: Right yeah, And I'm right there with you.

154
00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:09,640
Speaker 4: You know, you see that twenty eighteen draft class kind

155
00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:12,280
Speaker 4: of grown up together, and obviously it's dampened a little

156
00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:13,880
Speaker 4: bit with Ospyrus being her.

157
00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:16,000
Speaker 3: When you hit on the guy that I was going

158
00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:18,440
Speaker 3: to say under the radar, which.

159
00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:20,840
Speaker 4: Is John Reynolds, and he plays at a position that

160
00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:24,480
Speaker 4: wouldn't it be beautiful if him or Alonzo where someone

161
00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:27,080
Speaker 4: came up and really took hold of that first base

162
00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:29,880
Speaker 4: prospect that we need, even though I might say that

163
00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:32,640
Speaker 4: someone later like a Ponkai my transition.

164
00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:33,880
Speaker 6: Over to first or whatever the case is.

165
00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:37,240
Speaker 4: But but someone like Reynolds, who has that immense pop

166
00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:41,360
Speaker 4: seventy grade raw power, needs to just make more contact,

167
00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:43,440
Speaker 4: needs to take more walks. Can't be striking out one

168
00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:45,520
Speaker 4: hundred and thirty three times a year.

169
00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:46,920
Speaker 3: But is someone who.

170
00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:51,119
Speaker 4: Has that under the radar excitement who could fill avoid

171
00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:54,800
Speaker 4: that this organization needs to fill sooner rather than later.

172
00:08:58,120 --> 00:08:59,400
Speaker 6: I agree with both of the dozen.

173
00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:02,560
Speaker 2: I'm glad you touched on Thomas shownes Ethan because again, yes,

174
00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:04,840
Speaker 2: the make or break year speaks to him more than

175
00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:08,560
Speaker 2: anybody else. I think I'm this entire roster. Thomas has

176
00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:11,160
Speaker 2: all the tools you look at. He's almost like a

177
00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:15,280
Speaker 2: poor man's Monte Harrison if you look at his tools,

178
00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:18,040
Speaker 2: he hasn't seemed to put it all together, and the

179
00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:21,800
Speaker 2: swing and mis rate has just seemed to get worse

180
00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:23,840
Speaker 2: as it goes. This is the biggest year he has

181
00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:26,680
Speaker 2: coming for him in twenty nineteen, and Clinton's the best

182
00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:30,439
Speaker 2: place for him. Another player that's kind of under the radar,

183
00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:33,520
Speaker 2: that really nobody's talking about, and I didn't know much

184
00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:35,320
Speaker 2: about him until last week.

185
00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:37,360
Speaker 6: Honestly, that's CJ. Carter.

186
00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:40,280
Speaker 2: We drafted him in the twenty eighth round last year,

187
00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:42,920
Speaker 2: and he's out of a he's out of Troy, but

188
00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:45,920
Speaker 2: he's out of a community college before that. He's small,

189
00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:48,800
Speaker 2: he's got a side arm slot and he throws the

190
00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:51,920
Speaker 2: nastiest laddier I think I've ever seen. He pitched in

191
00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:54,280
Speaker 2: the Futures game in the ninth inning last week and

192
00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:59,280
Speaker 2: made Gabby Guerrero and Harold Ramirez look foolish on six

193
00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:04,360
Speaker 2: pitches and over twenty nine innings. Last year, across single

194
00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:07,160
Speaker 2: A and rookie ball, he shruck out thirty eight batters

195
00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:11,920
Speaker 2: in twenty nine innings. And the walk rate's a little rough,

196
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:16,120
Speaker 2: but he's raw and he's got a filthy, filthy arm

197
00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:18,040
Speaker 2: angle that is impossible to pick up.

198
00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:19,000
Speaker 6: And I'm real.

199
00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:20,400
Speaker 2: Excited to see what he can do with a full

200
00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:22,320
Speaker 2: season low A ball ashear in Clinton.

201
00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:24,680
Speaker 4: And I'll tell you what, Ian, You're not alone on

202
00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:27,240
Speaker 4: that one. Absolutely. And it's someone that we haven't you know,

203
00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:28,840
Speaker 4: because they don't get the pump or they don't get

204
00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:33,200
Speaker 4: the recognition a lower draft label. But in the article

205
00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:35,800
Speaker 4: we're about to release on these rosters, he's the guy

206
00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:38,959
Speaker 4: that I pointed out as a pitcher that might be

207
00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:41,600
Speaker 4: opening up some eyes that no one's heard of. So

208
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:44,880
Speaker 4: you're definitely not alone with that mentality that he can

209
00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:49,240
Speaker 4: come up show some things. It's impressive when you actually

210
00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:52,160
Speaker 4: look at the fact that the Marlins found him so late.

211
00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:54,280
Speaker 6: Absolutely.

212
00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:56,000
Speaker 2: I mean you look at that eleven and a half

213
00:10:56,080 --> 00:10:58,760
Speaker 2: strikeout right over nine innings last year, and then just

214
00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:01,440
Speaker 2: it's intriguing, you know, like you can you know, you

215
00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:03,079
Speaker 2: can do something like that, and if you can get

216
00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:05,560
Speaker 2: that walk right down, it give you something special out

217
00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:05,839
Speaker 2: of the bull.

218
00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:08,959
Speaker 5: And the Marlins have a lot of those guys in

219
00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:11,719
Speaker 5: the system right now that are just high strikeouts. They

220
00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:14,000
Speaker 5: throw gas, they throw you know, they have a nasty,

221
00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:16,280
Speaker 5: breaking ball. But the one thing for all of them,

222
00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:18,200
Speaker 5: you know, and it's the case with a lot of

223
00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:20,600
Speaker 5: like the top starting pitching prospects, is we have to

224
00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:22,840
Speaker 5: keep the walks down out of the bold and that's

225
00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:25,600
Speaker 5: going to be super important for a lot of these

226
00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:27,560
Speaker 5: a lot of these young relievers and a lot of

227
00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:29,480
Speaker 5: these young arms in our system as well, even the

228
00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:31,680
Speaker 5: starters are going to have to keep the walks down.

229
00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:33,120
Speaker 5: I think that's going to be a theme that you'll

230
00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:36,040
Speaker 5: see across a lot of levels this season with some

231
00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:39,000
Speaker 5: of the bigger pitchers in the system.

232
00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:41,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, the best place to go with that,

233
00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:44,120
Speaker 1: and speaking of arms is up one level to Jupiter,

234
00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:47,520
Speaker 1: where it is it's loaded and that's really an understatement.

235
00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:50,160
Speaker 1: It's it's one of the best pitcher as in the

236
00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:54,720
Speaker 1: minor leagues for any team like in recently. It's really

237
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:58,520
Speaker 1: just absolutely loaded with the top arms in the Marlin system.

238
00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:01,360
Speaker 1: Just to name some of the guys that are top prospects,

239
00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:05,119
Speaker 1: consensus top prospects in the system. You have Edward Cabrera.

240
00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:08,360
Speaker 1: You have Braxton Garrett, you have Jordan Holloway. You have

241
00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:12,200
Speaker 1: Trevor Rodgers and Will Stewart. On the hitting side, you

242
00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:15,600
Speaker 1: have pose A Devers. You have Riley Mahan and James Nelson.

243
00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:17,760
Speaker 1: James Nelson, who was just two years ago was the

244
00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:20,280
Speaker 1: minor league player of the year in this system, and

245
00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:23,360
Speaker 1: I mean most impressively in the outfield, Tristan Pompeii and

246
00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:27,440
Speaker 1: Victor Victor Mesa, the guy that they paid a record

247
00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:30,000
Speaker 1: amount for this team for an international amateur player, over

248
00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:32,320
Speaker 1: five million dollars for him. We got to see a

249
00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:34,240
Speaker 1: little bit of him in spring training, but that was

250
00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:37,679
Speaker 1: kind of derailed by a hamstring injury. So he's someone

251
00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:39,800
Speaker 1: that they think is ready to go for opening Day.

252
00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:41,840
Speaker 1: We're actually gonna send one of our writers to cover

253
00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:44,480
Speaker 1: that opening day game on Thursday, So stay tuned for

254
00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:46,920
Speaker 1: updates from that, maybe some highlights and some picks of

255
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:49,719
Speaker 1: him in that uniform. But I mean it's an absolutely

256
00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:52,280
Speaker 1: loaded roster. So I don't know where you want to begin,

257
00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:57,280
Speaker 1: but Ian, I mean, just like go wherever they go.

258
00:12:58,880 --> 00:13:02,080
Speaker 2: I mean, I've been excited about this roster, like just

259
00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:07,000
Speaker 2: thought of it since probably last offseason. We've had young

260
00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:09,400
Speaker 2: guys that we drafted that I knew would be and Jupier.

261
00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:12,520
Speaker 2: Eventually we had some injuries with the Tommy Johns to

262
00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:16,480
Speaker 2: talk to Jordan Holloway and Braxton Garrett and even then

263
00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:20,160
Speaker 2: they're now back. We have five pictures in a rotation

264
00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:23,040
Speaker 2: with plus plus pitches, like you don't see that in

265
00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:27,480
Speaker 2: any rotation at any level really anywhere. I was able

266
00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:29,680
Speaker 2: to come across the four pictures that are starting the

267
00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:33,280
Speaker 2: first series today and I posted it on Twitter, and

268
00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:37,600
Speaker 2: out of nowhere, people started noticing how underrated this rotation is.

269
00:13:38,040 --> 00:13:42,320
Speaker 2: It's filthy from top to bottom. And the Jacksonville rotation

270
00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:45,280
Speaker 2: is getting plenty of attention, and that's rightly so, and

271
00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:48,440
Speaker 2: we'll talk about that a little bit later. But this,

272
00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:50,560
Speaker 2: I mean, I don't know what to tell you right now,

273
00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:53,400
Speaker 2: Like you have two guys with seventy plus basketballs on

274
00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:57,360
Speaker 2: a rotation, and you add that with a plus current

275
00:13:57,400 --> 00:13:59,920
Speaker 2: ball with Jordan Holloway and a plus changeob with Edward

276
00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:02,960
Speaker 2: ra and you mix that in with the three other

277
00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:06,319
Speaker 2: pictures that I mean. I'm sorry, I'm baffled right now

278
00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:10,600
Speaker 2: with this rotation pulled out on Thursday. And I know

279
00:14:10,679 --> 00:14:13,120
Speaker 2: Daniel's got worth to talk about it, but come back

280
00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:15,600
Speaker 2: to me, I guess some more wells anything.

281
00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:17,920
Speaker 4: I'm just jealous that you're so close to it we

282
00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:20,360
Speaker 4: were before we started. He's like an hour and a

283
00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:23,040
Speaker 4: half drive from seeing this where any day he could

284
00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:25,040
Speaker 4: go up Monday is going to be there or whatever

285
00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:27,040
Speaker 4: the day is, and he's going to get a plus fastball,

286
00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:28,560
Speaker 4: like you said, and the next day he's going to

287
00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:30,840
Speaker 4: get one of the best curve balls in the minor leagues.

288
00:14:31,160 --> 00:14:33,040
Speaker 4: And I'll even go one step further than Eli. I

289
00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:36,040
Speaker 4: really do believe this will be the best starting rotation

290
00:14:36,120 --> 00:14:38,240
Speaker 4: in the minor leagues. I really believe it. You know,

291
00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:40,640
Speaker 4: we make the joke that we have what is it,

292
00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:43,600
Speaker 4: the baby faced aces at the pro level, and they

293
00:14:43,640 --> 00:14:46,160
Speaker 4: won't even be the best staff in the organization because

294
00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:49,600
Speaker 4: this is this is going to be it. It's incredibly

295
00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:52,400
Speaker 4: impressive what they have there. And if you go for

296
00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:56,080
Speaker 4: the pitching, you stay for Jose Devers, you stay for

297
00:14:56,360 --> 00:14:59,160
Speaker 4: Victor Victim Maso, you get to see Pompey continue to

298
00:14:59,200 --> 00:14:59,880
Speaker 4: grow in front of you.

299
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:01,760
Speaker 3: I mean, it is an.

300
00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:05,960
Speaker 4: Impressive, impressive level that the Marlins have built there, And

301
00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:08,280
Speaker 4: like I said, I'm just jealous that Ian gets to

302
00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:10,760
Speaker 4: be so close and witnessed that this entire season.

303
00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:14,120
Speaker 5: Yeah, this's probably when you look up and down. Is

304
00:15:14,160 --> 00:15:17,280
Speaker 5: probably like the most important roster if you're going to

305
00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:19,960
Speaker 5: really be falling along with the prospects all season, like

306
00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:24,200
Speaker 5: I am, and like we all but names that jump

307
00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:26,760
Speaker 5: off the page to me. Trevor Rodgers, I mean, his

308
00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:30,360
Speaker 5: numbers were really weird with Greensboro last year because they

309
00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:33,520
Speaker 5: don't look very good, but he was actually pretty solid.

310
00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:35,520
Speaker 5: He just didn't get a lot of help from the

311
00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:39,040
Speaker 5: guys behind him. He got Bavip to death last year.

312
00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:42,760
Speaker 5: But his strikeout numbers were incredibly impressive. He had a

313
00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:45,000
Speaker 5: game where he like I think he took a no

314
00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:49,200
Speaker 5: hitter really deep and he had thirteen strikeouts, seven and

315
00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:52,160
Speaker 5: two thirty in or something like that, pitch deep into

316
00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:55,960
Speaker 5: the eighth the nine. He really I liked what I

317
00:15:55,960 --> 00:15:58,080
Speaker 5: saw from him last year. The Marlins first round draft

318
00:15:58,080 --> 00:16:01,040
Speaker 5: pick from twenty seventeen, going on year earlier than that,

319
00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:04,200
Speaker 5: is practicing Garrett. We finally get to see him him here.

320
00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:09,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, and another guy who's not getting very much level

321
00:16:09,080 --> 00:16:11,320
Speaker 2: on this team, and I think it's gonna be invaluable

322
00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:14,840
Speaker 2: for the whole entire year. As Nick fourtes, he was

323
00:16:16,160 --> 00:16:18,040
Speaker 2: draft pick last year in the fourth round out of

324
00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:21,120
Speaker 2: Old Miss. He came directly off off of four to

325
00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:25,160
Speaker 2: thirty six oh on base percentage year his junior year

326
00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:29,200
Speaker 2: in college, with twenty one more walks and strikeouts. He

327
00:16:29,440 --> 00:16:31,800
Speaker 2: went across three levels of the miners last year before

328
00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:34,680
Speaker 2: catching an injury, and now going into twenty nine, team

329
00:16:34,760 --> 00:16:38,840
Speaker 2: is fully healthy. His defense is I would say, very

330
00:16:38,960 --> 00:16:43,440
Speaker 2: very slightly a little bit less than Will Banfield's, but

331
00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:47,160
Speaker 2: it's right there. In twenty fifteen at the Perfect Game,

332
00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:49,160
Speaker 2: he popped at a pop time of one to ninety,

333
00:16:49,520 --> 00:16:52,960
Speaker 2: which is very close to being elite. He's got polished

334
00:16:52,960 --> 00:16:54,920
Speaker 2: defense behind the plate. He knows how to work a

335
00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:57,000
Speaker 2: staff and he knows how to work account. When he's

336
00:16:57,000 --> 00:17:00,000
Speaker 2: at he's got the bat in his hand.

337
00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:04,240
Speaker 5: Excuse me having that kind of prowess. It's going to

338
00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:07,679
Speaker 5: be really important for this kind of pitching staff to

339
00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:09,639
Speaker 5: make sure that they're putting you know, he's putting them

340
00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:12,720
Speaker 5: in good spots and settling them out them up well

341
00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:17,199
Speaker 5: to dominate and use their stuff properly and maximize their stuff. Like,

342
00:17:17,440 --> 00:17:19,560
Speaker 5: I don't think you can underrate the importance of what

343
00:17:19,600 --> 00:17:20,960
Speaker 5: you just talked about with Fortes.

344
00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:25,119
Speaker 1: Yeah, And a couple of things about forte is that

345
00:17:25,920 --> 00:17:28,320
Speaker 1: I think are interesting that people might not have noticed.

346
00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:32,120
Speaker 1: One is that he's half Cuban. He's not he wasn't

347
00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:36,360
Speaker 1: raised in all that much Cuban tradition, but that's one

348
00:17:36,400 --> 00:17:38,679
Speaker 1: thing that he mentioned on an interview, and I think

349
00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:41,080
Speaker 1: if people know that, even if he doesn't look the part,

350
00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:44,080
Speaker 1: I think that's something that will resonate with Marlins fans

351
00:17:44,080 --> 00:17:46,960
Speaker 1: in the same way that resonates when they have full

352
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:50,840
Speaker 1: Cuban players. Another one is that he was for a

353
00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:53,159
Speaker 1: couple of weeks of spring training, he was actually in

354
00:17:53,320 --> 00:17:55,960
Speaker 1: major league camp. Like what we see over the course

355
00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:57,960
Speaker 1: of spring training is that a lot of these minor

356
00:17:58,040 --> 00:18:01,080
Speaker 1: leaguers get called up for road trips to playing where

357
00:18:01,119 --> 00:18:04,000
Speaker 1: they need bodies on the road or in certain situations

358
00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:06,280
Speaker 1: when the other guys are just feeling hungover or whatever.

359
00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:09,280
Speaker 1: But he was actually like placed in major league camp

360
00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:11,560
Speaker 1: for I think the week a week and a half

361
00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:16,320
Speaker 1: this spring, and I get when what that really involves,

362
00:18:16,359 --> 00:18:16,920
Speaker 1: you don't.

363
00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:17,480
Speaker 5: Really know exactly.

364
00:18:17,520 --> 00:18:19,400
Speaker 1: You know, it's going through the workouts with actual major

365
00:18:19,440 --> 00:18:23,719
Speaker 1: league pitchers catching their bullpen sessions. He only played in

366
00:18:23,760 --> 00:18:26,640
Speaker 1: a couple of games during an actual Grapefruit League play,

367
00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:29,840
Speaker 1: so uh, I don't want to overstate it, but the

368
00:18:29,880 --> 00:18:33,600
Speaker 1: actual transaction of putting him in major league camp at

369
00:18:33,640 --> 00:18:35,600
Speaker 1: a time where like if you look at this Marlins

370
00:18:35,680 --> 00:18:38,359
Speaker 1: organization behind Jorge al Faro, then you had that big

371
00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:41,119
Speaker 1: drop off to Will Banfield, who could be great someday

372
00:18:41,160 --> 00:18:44,199
Speaker 1: but several years away, and Nick forts Hays being like

373
00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:47,119
Speaker 1: the one guy in the organization who's in the middle

374
00:18:47,119 --> 00:18:49,320
Speaker 1: of that in case something goes wrong with Alfaro or

375
00:18:49,359 --> 00:18:52,520
Speaker 1: in case they really need they don't want to they

376
00:18:52,520 --> 00:18:55,080
Speaker 1: want to rotiating between all these backups that they have.

377
00:18:55,560 --> 00:18:57,520
Speaker 1: I mean, Forortes is one that's going to be interesting.

378
00:18:57,960 --> 00:19:00,280
Speaker 1: Before we move on from Jupiter, I think think it

379
00:19:00,359 --> 00:19:04,639
Speaker 1: is important to just go through specifically Victor Victor Mesa

380
00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:07,440
Speaker 1: because he's the guy that people know he's the one

381
00:19:07,480 --> 00:19:10,480
Speaker 1: that entering spring craning there or a lot of mixed opinions,

382
00:19:10,520 --> 00:19:12,640
Speaker 1: of course, because we haven't really seen him that much.

383
00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:16,399
Speaker 1: I saw people that were actually thinking about him on

384
00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:19,080
Speaker 1: the opening day in Major League roster, which was insane

385
00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:24,960
Speaker 1: during Simon. Yeah, So I mean to just go around

386
00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:29,480
Speaker 1: quickly on Victor, Victor, what have you you think we've

387
00:19:29,520 --> 00:19:32,960
Speaker 1: learned from him in very very limited reps And where

388
00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:35,080
Speaker 1: do you think he ends this season, whether you think

389
00:19:35,119 --> 00:19:37,919
Speaker 1: he'll be in jupter all year or how far do

390
00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:40,840
Speaker 1: you think he'll go this year? And what kind of

391
00:19:40,920 --> 00:19:42,600
Speaker 1: adjustment do you think it's going to be for him

392
00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:44,760
Speaker 1: now that he's playing in the US for the first time.

393
00:19:47,080 --> 00:19:50,159
Speaker 5: I'll start there, but I think we could see him.

394
00:19:50,840 --> 00:19:53,359
Speaker 5: I mean it might be a stretch to say we

395
00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:56,600
Speaker 5: could see him in September, but if he hits the

396
00:19:56,640 --> 00:19:58,680
Speaker 5: way that we think he's going to in terms of

397
00:19:58,760 --> 00:20:01,800
Speaker 5: hitting for average and making a lot of contact and uh,

398
00:20:02,119 --> 00:20:04,159
Speaker 5: you know, getting on date, it's a ton like. I

399
00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:07,240
Speaker 5: think that's something that this organization really needs across all

400
00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:10,120
Speaker 5: levels because one of the things that we really struggled

401
00:20:10,160 --> 00:20:13,639
Speaker 5: with last year was guys making contact and so I

402
00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:17,240
Speaker 5: think that he should be valuable anywhere to the point

403
00:20:17,240 --> 00:20:19,160
Speaker 5: where I could see him moving up to the MLB

404
00:20:19,280 --> 00:20:24,879
Speaker 5: at some point. But I don't know. I think most likely, uh,

405
00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:29,360
Speaker 5: he gets as far as as Jacksonville. H he it's

406
00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:31,439
Speaker 5: such a development, it's such a change coming over to

407
00:20:31,480 --> 00:20:34,720
Speaker 5: the United States team of you know, major league quality

408
00:20:34,760 --> 00:20:37,200
Speaker 5: pitching for the first time that I think most the

409
00:20:37,320 --> 00:20:39,960
Speaker 5: reasonable expectation is to see him in it. You know,

410
00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:44,199
Speaker 5: he'll finish in Jacksonville after putting up hopefully putting up

411
00:20:44,200 --> 00:20:45,920
Speaker 5: the numbers that we expect him to in Jupiter.

412
00:20:47,119 --> 00:20:48,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'll pair it that a little bit.

413
00:20:49,040 --> 00:20:51,280
Speaker 4: I think that there's just a lot of mystery and

414
00:20:51,320 --> 00:20:54,919
Speaker 4: ambiguity with him, right he has been professional pitching and

415
00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:56,879
Speaker 4: definitely nothing like he's going to see in the state

416
00:20:57,400 --> 00:20:59,879
Speaker 4: in over a year. We're gonna have to see what

417
00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:02,520
Speaker 4: he does. My guess is he actually has a relatively

418
00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:04,480
Speaker 4: quick promotion to Jacksonville.

419
00:21:05,320 --> 00:21:06,320
Speaker 3: I don't want to put.

420
00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:10,320
Speaker 4: Off entirely that the possibility that he'll get to Marlins

421
00:21:10,359 --> 00:21:12,919
Speaker 4: Park in September. I could actually see that if he

422
00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:15,520
Speaker 4: really does make contact the way that we expect him to,

423
00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:18,920
Speaker 4: because the speed and the fielding will already play, although

424
00:21:18,960 --> 00:21:21,240
Speaker 4: that first play in center field was unfortunate to start

425
00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:24,160
Speaker 4: off spring training, but it'll play in the big leagues,

426
00:21:24,440 --> 00:21:27,160
Speaker 4: so it makes that contact if we're starting to see

427
00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:30,080
Speaker 4: that plate discipline against state side pitching. I think he

428
00:21:30,119 --> 00:21:32,840
Speaker 4: gets a rather quick promotion in Jacksonville, and if he

429
00:21:32,920 --> 00:21:35,399
Speaker 4: performs there, I could see him in September. But I

430
00:21:35,480 --> 00:21:39,040
Speaker 4: agree with Ethan the more conservative, probably more realistic expectation

431
00:21:39,119 --> 00:21:41,240
Speaker 4: as he finishes off in Jacksonville with a very good

432
00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:45,160
Speaker 4: shot at starting next year and improving himself in major

433
00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:46,160
Speaker 4: league camp next year.

434
00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:50,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think I'm in unison with Jacksonville on with

435
00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:53,560
Speaker 2: Victor Victor Mesa. I think he will spend at least

436
00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:57,479
Speaker 2: two months in Jupiter getting his timing down again. He

437
00:21:57,520 --> 00:22:01,120
Speaker 2: hasn't played really competitive baseball and so long that it's

438
00:22:01,119 --> 00:22:03,600
Speaker 2: going to take time for him to get his feedback,

439
00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:05,760
Speaker 2: he get his timing back, and to see if he's

440
00:22:05,800 --> 00:22:09,080
Speaker 2: really in shape and healthy after the hamstring injury. I

441
00:22:09,119 --> 00:22:12,560
Speaker 2: do think Jacksonville will be the last place he plays

442
00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:18,439
Speaker 2: this year, tampering expectations because of the mystery we have

443
00:22:18,600 --> 00:22:20,960
Speaker 2: of him and the things that he has going forward,

444
00:22:21,720 --> 00:22:23,159
Speaker 2: and the people we have in front of him in

445
00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:26,199
Speaker 2: the system in Jacksonville and in New Orleans. It's going

446
00:22:26,280 --> 00:22:28,840
Speaker 2: to take time for him to jump say a couple

447
00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:33,600
Speaker 2: players man. Granted they're not high profile players, but the

448
00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:35,399
Speaker 2: time he needs to get ready is going to take

449
00:22:35,440 --> 00:22:37,600
Speaker 2: at least I think a full three and six five

450
00:22:37,680 --> 00:22:39,160
Speaker 2: days before he's on the major league roster.

451
00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:42,159
Speaker 5: And one last quick thought on this, don't you know,

452
00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:46,360
Speaker 5: don't put off the MLB just yet, because like we've

453
00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:49,399
Speaker 5: seen in the past, Danny said he expects a pretty

454
00:22:49,440 --> 00:22:54,159
Speaker 5: quick promotion. We've seen these Marlins executives very quick to

455
00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:57,520
Speaker 5: promote guys based on results. I mean, think about the

456
00:22:57,560 --> 00:23:00,560
Speaker 5: fact that those top four draft picks lash here played

457
00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:05,200
Speaker 5: twenty something games in lowy Greensboro. So we've they've shown

458
00:23:05,240 --> 00:23:07,879
Speaker 5: a willingness to Marlin's front office to promote guys if

459
00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:11,040
Speaker 5: they're performing up to their standards and how they expect

460
00:23:11,040 --> 00:23:13,960
Speaker 5: them to perform. They've shown a willingness to not worry

461
00:23:14,040 --> 00:23:18,879
Speaker 5: about the normal timetable for promoting guys and to promote

462
00:23:18,920 --> 00:23:22,280
Speaker 5: guys when they're performing. And so I think because of that,

463
00:23:22,560 --> 00:23:25,119
Speaker 5: there's a possibility that, yeah, we could see him in

464
00:23:25,160 --> 00:23:29,439
Speaker 5: Little Havana in September maybe even before them, if he

465
00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:32,480
Speaker 5: really really takes the world by storm.

466
00:23:32,840 --> 00:23:35,840
Speaker 4: Right and right before we go to Jacksonville. I'll add

467
00:23:35,880 --> 00:23:38,760
Speaker 4: one more name, because I guess I'm like the underrated

468
00:23:39,080 --> 00:23:42,760
Speaker 4: based guy today. There's another Cuban in Jupiter. His name

469
00:23:42,800 --> 00:23:47,480
Speaker 4: is last Alonso. He's a six to twenty first baseman,

470
00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:50,440
Speaker 4: again in a position where we don't have someone. If

471
00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:52,840
Speaker 4: he now starts to make more contact, starts to take

472
00:23:53,160 --> 00:23:55,600
Speaker 4: some more walks, he's someone that could get promoted. And

473
00:23:55,600 --> 00:23:58,159
Speaker 4: then you're talking about someone who's relatively closer than a

474
00:23:58,240 --> 00:24:03,320
Speaker 4: Reynolds Woodie actually sitting at Marlins Park. And again, imagine

475
00:24:03,320 --> 00:24:07,560
Speaker 4: that a full born Cuban first baseman lefty presence would

476
00:24:07,560 --> 00:24:09,439
Speaker 4: be a beautiful thing for both the business and the

477
00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:11,080
Speaker 4: baseball side of the Marlins.

478
00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:17,200
Speaker 5: We didn't even talk about Edward Cabrera. I mean, yeah,

479
00:24:17,280 --> 00:24:19,880
Speaker 5: there's so much talent on this roster. It's really exciting.

480
00:24:20,240 --> 00:24:21,880
Speaker 6: It's completely deep.

481
00:24:21,920 --> 00:24:24,520
Speaker 2: Twenty five man and a guy who I can see

482
00:24:24,560 --> 00:24:28,000
Speaker 2: on Jupiter who's completely off the radar now on a

483
00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:30,280
Speaker 2: lot of people's things, and he's not even on Clinton.

484
00:24:30,440 --> 00:24:33,639
Speaker 2: But and that would be Davis Bradshaw. I was truly

485
00:24:33,720 --> 00:24:35,920
Speaker 2: surprised to not see him on Clinton when the rosters

486
00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:39,320
Speaker 2: came out today, and I think he's gonna move extremely

487
00:24:39,440 --> 00:24:41,520
Speaker 2: quickly this year if he puts up the same type

488
00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:42,760
Speaker 2: of remembers he did last year.

489
00:24:43,720 --> 00:24:47,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, And look annoying about this time of year is

490
00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:50,399
Speaker 1: that it is more difficult to get injury information on

491
00:24:50,440 --> 00:24:52,840
Speaker 1: players in the miners than it is on the majors.

492
00:24:53,280 --> 00:24:56,240
Speaker 1: There are aside from Davis Bradshaw, they're probably a handful

493
00:24:56,240 --> 00:24:59,240
Speaker 1: of the guys that people are aware of that you

494
00:24:59,240 --> 00:25:02,040
Speaker 1: would think would be on a full season roster but aren't.

495
00:25:02,119 --> 00:25:04,440
Speaker 1: And I imagine there are a few injuries going on there,

496
00:25:04,480 --> 00:25:06,480
Speaker 1: but I don't have anything to report at this time.

497
00:25:06,520 --> 00:25:09,280
Speaker 1: I think we'll find out very soon like who's injured

498
00:25:09,320 --> 00:25:13,040
Speaker 1: and what it is, and hopefully it's nothing significant. But yeah,

499
00:25:13,359 --> 00:25:18,000
Speaker 1: definitely in a few cases, a few omissions, probably from

500
00:25:18,040 --> 00:25:20,840
Speaker 1: the Clinton roster at least. But yeah, as promised, we

501
00:25:20,840 --> 00:25:22,639
Speaker 1: were going to move up to Jacksonville where it is

502
00:25:22,640 --> 00:25:26,320
Speaker 1: a different story from Jupiter. Not all that many guys

503
00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:30,240
Speaker 1: that necessarily have star ceilings in them, but it is

504
00:25:30,520 --> 00:25:33,840
Speaker 1: good depth of guys that are top thirty prospects, Joe

505
00:25:33,920 --> 00:25:35,479
Speaker 1: dunand Brian Miller.

506
00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:36,640
Speaker 5: You have.

507
00:25:38,280 --> 00:25:39,000
Speaker 6: Let's see.

508
00:25:39,080 --> 00:25:42,240
Speaker 1: You have Robert Duggar. You have one a guy that

509
00:25:42,280 --> 00:25:45,000
Speaker 1: I really like. It was just a reliever, but one

510
00:25:45,040 --> 00:25:47,320
Speaker 1: that took a big step forward last year, Dylan Lee.

511
00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:49,919
Speaker 1: And you have Jordan Yamamoto, who was one of the

512
00:25:49,920 --> 00:25:52,920
Speaker 1: best performers in the whole organization last year when healthy

513
00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:55,320
Speaker 1: built during the regular season and then he opened a

514
00:25:55,320 --> 00:25:58,520
Speaker 1: lot of eyes during the Arizona Fall League. Same routine

515
00:25:58,680 --> 00:26:01,840
Speaker 1: with what we did. The couple of rosters who sticks

516
00:26:01,840 --> 00:26:05,600
Speaker 1: out to you about Jacksonville and guys that might be

517
00:26:05,680 --> 00:26:10,200
Speaker 1: underrated to you once again going with Ian whatever sticks out.

518
00:26:11,040 --> 00:26:14,920
Speaker 2: I mean the again, the rotation plans to be fantastic again.

519
00:26:15,119 --> 00:26:18,119
Speaker 2: Six though is starting the year and extending spring training

520
00:26:18,280 --> 00:26:20,840
Speaker 2: as we know, but it looks to start when he

521
00:26:20,880 --> 00:26:23,479
Speaker 2: gets real healthy to be with Jacksonville. So that'll get

522
00:26:23,520 --> 00:26:28,000
Speaker 2: him a starting five likely of six though, Santos, Jordan Yamamoto,

523
00:26:28,720 --> 00:26:29,720
Speaker 2: Robert dugger.

524
00:26:31,720 --> 00:26:35,320
Speaker 6: Excuse me, Brett Graves, and my mind is boss on

525
00:26:35,320 --> 00:26:36,400
Speaker 6: the fifth one now, So.

526
00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:42,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know why why it's blowing my mind

527
00:26:42,119 --> 00:26:43,800
Speaker 2: right now, one hundred and two miles an hour.

528
00:26:43,680 --> 00:26:44,600
Speaker 6: I can forget about.

529
00:26:44,680 --> 00:26:47,480
Speaker 2: But yes, Hoe Guzman, which is a huge make or

530
00:26:47,520 --> 00:26:49,560
Speaker 2: break here for him as well. If this is the

531
00:26:49,640 --> 00:26:52,160
Speaker 2: year we see him stick as a starter or possibly

532
00:26:52,280 --> 00:26:56,800
Speaker 2: make his transition to the bullpen, which eventually could happen

533
00:26:57,480 --> 00:26:59,800
Speaker 2: on the on the defensive side and on the plate

534
00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:02,280
Speaker 2: rights in Brigman is another one who's in camp in

535
00:27:02,400 --> 00:27:04,560
Speaker 2: Jacksonville that could have a good year. He spent a

536
00:27:04,560 --> 00:27:06,359
Speaker 2: lot of time there last year after the trade and

537
00:27:06,400 --> 00:27:09,000
Speaker 2: pit Well pit well near as in a fall league,

538
00:27:09,080 --> 00:27:12,520
Speaker 2: sold some bases and plays quality defense all around the diamond.

539
00:27:12,840 --> 00:27:14,760
Speaker 2: I'm excited to see what he does with the full year.

540
00:27:14,960 --> 00:27:17,640
Speaker 2: And he's living in a trailer this spring and this year,

541
00:27:17,680 --> 00:27:21,080
Speaker 2: so it's pretty crazy too. But that's a name that

542
00:27:21,080 --> 00:27:23,840
Speaker 2: I'm looking forward to see this year in Jacksonville. And

543
00:27:23,920 --> 00:27:27,359
Speaker 2: Joe Junan he got moved up pretty early last year

544
00:27:27,720 --> 00:27:29,440
Speaker 2: and I'm excited to see with the full year in

545
00:27:29,480 --> 00:27:32,359
Speaker 2: Jacksville what he can do after this was a hot

546
00:27:32,400 --> 00:27:34,520
Speaker 2: start that he was cold, but he finished the year

547
00:27:34,640 --> 00:27:37,240
Speaker 2: hot again, so maybe you can stay consistent this year.

548
00:27:39,200 --> 00:27:41,880
Speaker 3: Yeah. I look at Jacksonville.

549
00:27:41,960 --> 00:27:45,040
Speaker 4: Jacksonville almost as the rebuilding staff right when you when

550
00:27:45,080 --> 00:27:48,080
Speaker 4: you go through a rebuild, you're going to have individual

551
00:27:48,240 --> 00:27:50,280
Speaker 4: you trade all across the minor leagues. But when you're

552
00:27:50,280 --> 00:27:54,679
Speaker 4: talking about six Do Sanchez, Jorge Guzman, Jordan Yamamoto, you

553
00:27:54,760 --> 00:27:57,520
Speaker 4: need those guys to produce, right when you're trading away

554
00:27:57,560 --> 00:27:59,600
Speaker 4: the likes of the individuals that they traded away for

555
00:27:59,760 --> 00:28:03,320
Speaker 4: those through pitchers. Obviously they weren't all the primary pieces

556
00:28:03,359 --> 00:28:06,800
Speaker 4: in that although with Guzman and with six so they were.

557
00:28:07,280 --> 00:28:10,320
Speaker 4: You want value and you want them to develop the

558
00:28:10,359 --> 00:28:14,280
Speaker 4: correct way. They just mean a little bit more right

559
00:28:14,320 --> 00:28:15,960
Speaker 4: when you're giving up the kind of talent you are.

560
00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:18,840
Speaker 4: So That's what I'm looking at there. But even away

561
00:28:18,840 --> 00:28:22,199
Speaker 4: from that, I'm just happy Sierra's finally where he's supposed

562
00:28:22,240 --> 00:28:25,200
Speaker 4: to be. I mean, you know, we have a lot

563
00:28:25,200 --> 00:28:27,800
Speaker 4: of people on Twitter and a lot of commentators have

564
00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:31,520
Speaker 4: just completely given up on him, and I understand why.

565
00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:32,239
Speaker 5: I get it.

566
00:28:32,440 --> 00:28:34,600
Speaker 4: And then I'll also say, the kid's twenty two. The

567
00:28:34,680 --> 00:28:38,200
Speaker 4: kid's twenty two. You know, we have to let him develop.

568
00:28:38,400 --> 00:28:41,960
Speaker 4: They've been very hasty, both the Cardinals and the Marlins

569
00:28:41,960 --> 00:28:44,120
Speaker 4: with putting him up, I guess because his defense was

570
00:28:44,160 --> 00:28:47,160
Speaker 4: sufficient and that's what they wanted him for in that speed.

571
00:28:47,640 --> 00:28:50,800
Speaker 4: But again, the kid is twenty two. Let him develop,

572
00:28:51,160 --> 00:28:53,160
Speaker 4: Let him get as many at bads as he needs

573
00:28:53,520 --> 00:28:56,520
Speaker 4: in Jacksonville in Double A, and then with all this

574
00:28:56,640 --> 00:29:00,160
Speaker 4: outfield depth that we finally have, I don't think that

575
00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:02,959
Speaker 4: we'll see him prematurely promoted again.

576
00:29:03,360 --> 00:29:03,560
Speaker 3: You know.

577
00:29:03,600 --> 00:29:06,400
Speaker 4: I think we'll have a nice year where he could develop,

578
00:29:06,480 --> 00:29:09,280
Speaker 4: where he could take his time, where we can see

579
00:29:09,280 --> 00:29:11,040
Speaker 4: that twenty two year old I'll say it as many

580
00:29:11,040 --> 00:29:14,440
Speaker 4: times as I can in this develop So I'm excited

581
00:29:14,440 --> 00:29:16,640
Speaker 4: for that, And quite frankly, I think Brian Miller at

582
00:29:16,640 --> 00:29:18,680
Speaker 4: some point is going to show up at Marlin's Park.

583
00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:19,720
Speaker 3: The kid can hit.

584
00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:22,960
Speaker 4: The guy can hit up and down, and I think

585
00:29:22,960 --> 00:29:25,320
Speaker 4: that as long as he shows that his defensive abilities

586
00:29:25,600 --> 00:29:27,720
Speaker 4: can play at the major league level, he'll eventually find

587
00:29:27,800 --> 00:29:30,720
Speaker 4: himself a role, which again is a testament to the

588
00:29:30,760 --> 00:29:32,880
Speaker 4: depth that we have here in the outfield.

589
00:29:32,960 --> 00:29:35,320
Speaker 3: So yeah, that rebuilding staff.

590
00:29:35,040 --> 00:29:38,440
Speaker 4: And then Sierra and Miller are the two position that

591
00:29:38,480 --> 00:29:39,200
Speaker 4: I would look at.

592
00:29:40,840 --> 00:29:44,240
Speaker 5: Yeah, Danny, it's crazy. I didn't even realize Mags was

593
00:29:44,280 --> 00:29:47,160
Speaker 5: only twenty two because he spent so much time up

594
00:29:47,240 --> 00:29:50,880
Speaker 5: and down in the majors. So yeah, it is something

595
00:29:50,960 --> 00:29:54,280
Speaker 5: to think about that, you know, let him stay down

596
00:29:54,280 --> 00:29:56,280
Speaker 5: in Jacksonville, let him really work a lot of that

597
00:29:56,440 --> 00:29:59,800
Speaker 5: bats at the minor league level because he can develop

598
00:29:59,840 --> 00:30:01,640
Speaker 5: in and you know, one thing that he really has

599
00:30:01,680 --> 00:30:04,400
Speaker 5: to work on is getting on base and taking you know,

600
00:30:04,760 --> 00:30:08,320
Speaker 5: his plate discipline, taking more walks. But you know, it'll

601
00:30:08,360 --> 00:30:10,360
Speaker 5: be interesting to see the type of numbers that he

602
00:30:10,400 --> 00:30:13,160
Speaker 5: puts up in Double A. But one guy Ian touched

603
00:30:13,200 --> 00:30:15,680
Speaker 5: on him that I'm really excited about is Bryce and Brickman.

604
00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:18,719
Speaker 5: He came over in the Cameron Nabin trade from the

605
00:30:18,720 --> 00:30:23,280
Speaker 5: Mariners last year and he has not stopped hitting. He

606
00:30:23,360 --> 00:30:27,479
Speaker 5: hit three ten in with Jacksonville. He hit three thirty

607
00:30:27,480 --> 00:30:31,240
Speaker 5: eight with Jupiter. He spent more time in the Mariners

608
00:30:31,240 --> 00:30:33,480
Speaker 5: system last year and he hit His slash line was

609
00:30:33,480 --> 00:30:36,160
Speaker 5: three h four three seventy three, three ninety one. He

610
00:30:36,160 --> 00:30:38,400
Speaker 5: doesn't hit for a lot of power, but the dude

611
00:30:38,800 --> 00:30:41,520
Speaker 5: makes contact and he gets on base, and he's just

612
00:30:41,560 --> 00:30:45,680
Speaker 5: another athletic middle infielder that the Marlins have been stockpiling

613
00:30:45,760 --> 00:30:49,160
Speaker 5: really ever since Denbo got here, and I love the

614
00:30:49,280 --> 00:30:51,800
Speaker 5: kind of stockpile that they have in the middle of

615
00:30:51,880 --> 00:30:56,480
Speaker 5: the infield. Guzman is the big one. He's the big name. Obviously,

616
00:30:56,520 --> 00:31:00,800
Speaker 5: he's the top ten guy on this roster. Ian said,

617
00:31:00,880 --> 00:31:02,560
Speaker 5: it's a make or break year for him. I wrote

618
00:31:02,560 --> 00:31:07,840
Speaker 5: about this in my season preview article. Either he performs

619
00:31:07,880 --> 00:31:09,760
Speaker 5: well as a starter and we keep him as a

620
00:31:09,840 --> 00:31:13,120
Speaker 5: rotation guy, or he doesn't and his walks still kind

621
00:31:13,160 --> 00:31:15,600
Speaker 5: of are really high and we move him to the bullpen.

622
00:31:15,640 --> 00:31:19,040
Speaker 5: And I don't think it has a negative connotation to it, obviously,

623
00:31:19,120 --> 00:31:21,200
Speaker 5: moving to him to the bullpen, but I don't think

624
00:31:21,200 --> 00:31:23,760
Speaker 5: it's necessarily a terrible thing because of the stuff that

625
00:31:23,800 --> 00:31:26,400
Speaker 5: he possesses. I think it could even play better out

626
00:31:26,400 --> 00:31:28,280
Speaker 5: of the bullpen when you bring in a guy that's

627
00:31:28,320 --> 00:31:31,680
Speaker 5: throwing one O two with a nasty hook, so that

628
00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:34,880
Speaker 5: it's a big year for Jorge Guzman. And then another

629
00:31:34,920 --> 00:31:39,320
Speaker 5: guy is yams I love Jordan Yamamoto. He performed so

630
00:31:39,440 --> 00:31:42,480
Speaker 5: well last year. Every time he took the mound in Jupiter,

631
00:31:42,760 --> 00:31:46,160
Speaker 5: every time he took the mount in Jacksonville. He just

632
00:31:46,320 --> 00:31:48,800
Speaker 5: works deep into ball games. He seems like he goes

633
00:31:48,800 --> 00:31:50,760
Speaker 5: six innings pretty much every night. He strikes a ton

634
00:31:50,800 --> 00:31:54,120
Speaker 5: of guys out. I really like him, and I like

635
00:31:54,200 --> 00:31:57,000
Speaker 5: his makeup because he's one of these guys that won't

636
00:31:57,040 --> 00:32:01,800
Speaker 5: overpower you with speed, obviously, but his stuff is just

637
00:32:01,920 --> 00:32:05,160
Speaker 5: really deceptive and he strikes a ton of guys out

638
00:32:05,200 --> 00:32:07,920
Speaker 5: for a guy that doesn't throw very hard, and so

639
00:32:08,040 --> 00:32:10,800
Speaker 5: I really like him. But yeah, those two guys, really,

640
00:32:11,240 --> 00:32:14,400
Speaker 5: those few guys really stand out to me. I'm excited

641
00:32:14,400 --> 00:32:16,920
Speaker 5: to see six Stow in his first action in the

642
00:32:16,960 --> 00:32:20,440
Speaker 5: Marlins organization. And I think when you put together that

643
00:32:20,560 --> 00:32:24,680
Speaker 5: top three of Guzman, Yamamoto, and six Stow, and then

644
00:32:24,720 --> 00:32:28,480
Speaker 5: you add in Dugger, Dugger had a really quietly you

645
00:32:28,520 --> 00:32:30,840
Speaker 5: had a pretty good year last year, So I'd really

646
00:32:30,840 --> 00:32:33,800
Speaker 5: I like this rotation more than in Jacksonville, more than

647
00:32:33,840 --> 00:32:38,400
Speaker 5: I did last year. But yeah, the offensive firepower won't

648
00:32:38,400 --> 00:32:41,400
Speaker 5: be there as much because Monte has moved on and

649
00:32:41,480 --> 00:32:45,000
Speaker 5: Nissan moved on during the year last year, But watch

650
00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:47,360
Speaker 5: out for Brickman on the offensive side of the ball,

651
00:32:47,560 --> 00:32:49,600
Speaker 5: and then the rest of the way it's gonna be pitching, pitching,

652
00:32:49,640 --> 00:32:50,840
Speaker 5: pitching for Jacksonville.

653
00:32:51,480 --> 00:32:53,600
Speaker 2: Well, one last guy on talking about on the offensive

654
00:32:53,640 --> 00:32:57,000
Speaker 2: side on Jacksonville who had a super hot started last

655
00:32:57,080 --> 00:33:00,120
Speaker 2: year out of nowhere and got an unlucky injury at

656
00:33:00,120 --> 00:33:00,320
Speaker 2: the end.

657
00:33:00,360 --> 00:33:01,600
Speaker 6: There's Justin Twine.

658
00:33:02,440 --> 00:33:05,560
Speaker 2: He was in four hundred for forever last year in

659
00:33:05,600 --> 00:33:08,920
Speaker 2: DOUBLEA out of nowhere, and nobody knew where it came from.

660
00:33:09,080 --> 00:33:11,600
Speaker 2: Or nobody knew where it's going to go. So he

661
00:33:11,640 --> 00:33:13,080
Speaker 2: took an injury at the end of the year, and

662
00:33:13,080 --> 00:33:15,400
Speaker 2: I know Eli had missed an opportunity for an interview

663
00:33:15,440 --> 00:33:18,280
Speaker 2: with an interview with him around then, so I'm not

664
00:33:18,280 --> 00:33:20,640
Speaker 2: sure how his off season went. But he's a guy

665
00:33:20,680 --> 00:33:23,080
Speaker 2: who's real intriguing me if that was just a fluke

666
00:33:23,440 --> 00:33:26,040
Speaker 2: or if he's ready to turn into a quality middle

667
00:33:26,040 --> 00:33:28,680
Speaker 2: infielder like we hoped he would when we drafted.

668
00:33:28,440 --> 00:33:32,480
Speaker 1: Him, right, And it's I had paid a lot of

669
00:33:32,560 --> 00:33:35,600
Speaker 1: attention to him last year because not just because not

670
00:33:35,640 --> 00:33:38,240
Speaker 1: necessarily that I buy into what happened late last season,

671
00:33:38,960 --> 00:33:42,000
Speaker 1: because it was so heavily driven by batting like balls

672
00:33:42,280 --> 00:33:45,080
Speaker 1: in play instead of actually sending it over the wall,

673
00:33:45,120 --> 00:33:48,280
Speaker 1: and without saying much plate discipline for him, like it

674
00:33:48,320 --> 00:33:51,880
Speaker 1: will be very interesting to see how he makes adjustments

675
00:33:51,920 --> 00:33:55,040
Speaker 1: to actually sustain that production. But what just stuck out

676
00:33:55,080 --> 00:33:57,080
Speaker 1: is that he was from a draft class in twenty

677
00:33:57,160 --> 00:34:01,040
Speaker 1: fourteen that's been pretty much a fair earlier with the

678
00:34:01,040 --> 00:34:04,080
Speaker 1: exception of Brian Anderson, that that's like just a total

679
00:34:04,120 --> 00:34:07,960
Speaker 1: wid by what we're the previous front office. Uh, just

680
00:34:08,400 --> 00:34:10,319
Speaker 1: on a year where they were picking their the very

681
00:34:10,320 --> 00:34:13,320
Speaker 1: top of every single round where they had Tyler Kolek,

682
00:34:13,400 --> 00:34:16,080
Speaker 1: who was at umber two overall, and that's the name

683
00:34:16,120 --> 00:34:18,960
Speaker 1: that we haven't brought up yet because he's not these

684
00:34:19,040 --> 00:34:22,920
Speaker 1: rosters and I don't even want to go into that.

685
00:34:23,080 --> 00:34:27,040
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's for another episode. Too many of those drafts,

686
00:34:27,239 --> 00:34:30,640
Speaker 5: too many of those drafts with the last regime. Uh,

687
00:34:30,719 --> 00:34:32,960
Speaker 5: And and we're already seeing a difference this year because

688
00:34:33,000 --> 00:34:35,200
Speaker 5: those four guys that we talked about, and we didn't

689
00:34:35,200 --> 00:34:38,759
Speaker 5: even talk about Pompeii, who I love, but uh, those

690
00:34:38,880 --> 00:34:41,520
Speaker 5: those four guys at the top are already making an

691
00:34:41,520 --> 00:34:44,319
Speaker 5: impact in the organization. And it's good to see that

692
00:34:44,640 --> 00:34:48,120
Speaker 5: coming off draft after draft after draft where nobody's making

693
00:34:48,120 --> 00:34:51,600
Speaker 5: an impact. To see four guys making an impact right away,

694
00:34:51,680 --> 00:34:54,600
Speaker 5: right out of the gates. And now POMPEII is on

695
00:34:54,640 --> 00:34:58,080
Speaker 5: a single A roster and high a roster, and I

696
00:34:58,120 --> 00:34:59,759
Speaker 5: wouldn't be surprised at all if we see him and

697
00:34:59,840 --> 00:35:03,239
Speaker 5: Jack this year. So guys making an impact early on

698
00:35:03,719 --> 00:35:06,399
Speaker 5: from the draft is huge, and it's gonna be huge

699
00:35:06,400 --> 00:35:07,279
Speaker 5: going forward as well.

700
00:35:08,239 --> 00:35:10,520
Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean, first impressions of those guys in the

701
00:35:10,600 --> 00:35:13,640
Speaker 1: last year's class were really impressive, and again this year

702
00:35:13,800 --> 00:35:17,040
Speaker 1: they pick even higher up number four overall and pretty

703
00:35:17,080 --> 00:35:19,000
Speaker 1: high in the three picks at the top fifty. And

704
00:35:19,120 --> 00:35:21,160
Speaker 1: of course this is gonna be a show that's gonna

705
00:35:21,320 --> 00:35:23,239
Speaker 1: do a lot of coverage leading up to that and

706
00:35:23,239 --> 00:35:27,040
Speaker 1: then immediately after that. But that's not really my forte

707
00:35:27,520 --> 00:35:29,880
Speaker 1: for now. I'm just gonna go up to the final

708
00:35:29,960 --> 00:35:33,560
Speaker 1: level to Triple A New Orleans, and it's a Triple

709
00:35:33,600 --> 00:35:35,880
Speaker 1: A is always a mixed bag of you know, veteran

710
00:35:36,200 --> 00:35:39,280
Speaker 1: treads that are looking for another opportunity and some actual

711
00:35:39,400 --> 00:35:42,600
Speaker 1: legitimate prospects. I mean, first with guys that saw some

712
00:35:42,640 --> 00:35:45,759
Speaker 1: big league action last year. You had Austin Dean, who

713
00:35:45,800 --> 00:35:47,400
Speaker 1: was the Minor league player of the Year and then

714
00:35:47,440 --> 00:35:50,920
Speaker 1: broke through in August to get a call up. Brian

715
00:35:51,000 --> 00:35:55,120
Speaker 1: Holiday was a backup catcher for pretty much all of

716
00:35:55,200 --> 00:35:57,920
Speaker 1: last year and didn't really hit very much, but he

717
00:35:58,000 --> 00:36:00,560
Speaker 1: stayed in the organization and he's a guy that still

718
00:36:00,560 --> 00:36:04,400
Speaker 1: looks like a real major leaguer that will hopefully get

719
00:36:04,400 --> 00:36:05,560
Speaker 1: an opportunity later.

720
00:36:05,400 --> 00:36:06,000
Speaker 5: In this year.

721
00:36:07,120 --> 00:36:10,319
Speaker 1: Other guys Harlan Garcia, who was up and down the

722
00:36:10,360 --> 00:36:13,560
Speaker 1: last few years and really inconsistent last year, had some

723
00:36:13,600 --> 00:36:16,440
Speaker 1: really bright moments but ultimately got squeezed out of this

724
00:36:16,520 --> 00:36:19,839
Speaker 1: pitching staff to the actual prospects that you have there.

725
00:36:19,880 --> 00:36:22,439
Speaker 1: You have Zach Gallon who was there all of last

726
00:36:22,480 --> 00:36:26,680
Speaker 1: season and had some bright moments. You have you have

727
00:36:26,760 --> 00:36:29,160
Speaker 1: jose Kihata who they placed on the forty man roster

728
00:36:29,360 --> 00:36:32,800
Speaker 1: who had really impressive results last season as well. Isaac

729
00:36:32,840 --> 00:36:37,719
Speaker 1: Galloway is still around. I mean, that's amazing, really one

730
00:36:37,719 --> 00:36:39,560
Speaker 1: of the it was a field good story last year

731
00:36:39,600 --> 00:36:41,439
Speaker 1: that he finally got a call up after he knows

732
00:36:41,480 --> 00:36:45,719
Speaker 1: how many years in the organization. Harold Ramirez was the

733
00:36:45,760 --> 00:36:48,520
Speaker 1: one that was a personal favorite of mine, the signing

734
00:36:48,600 --> 00:36:52,239
Speaker 1: that they had really minimal commitment, who did pretty well

735
00:36:52,280 --> 00:36:54,360
Speaker 1: in spring training but they couldn't quite find room on

736
00:36:54,360 --> 00:36:57,200
Speaker 1: the roster, who was just really natural hitter. And then

737
00:36:57,239 --> 00:37:00,760
Speaker 1: is San Diaz who we saw a little bit spring training,

738
00:37:01,120 --> 00:37:04,680
Speaker 1: who was on another piece from that Christian Yellotts deal,

739
00:37:05,600 --> 00:37:08,320
Speaker 1: but I'll turned over to you. And then Nick Knighter

740
00:37:08,520 --> 00:37:12,160
Speaker 1: probably most of all, who Minor League pitcher of the

741
00:37:12,200 --> 00:37:16,040
Speaker 1: Year last year and a guy that in a lot

742
00:37:16,040 --> 00:37:18,960
Speaker 1: of other teams would probably have some space in the rotation,

743
00:37:19,080 --> 00:37:21,560
Speaker 1: but right now he's waiting his turn. So one more

744
00:37:21,560 --> 00:37:24,440
Speaker 1: time running through it with Ian guys that stick out

745
00:37:24,440 --> 00:37:28,040
Speaker 1: to you on this roster for good or bad, what

746
00:37:28,080 --> 00:37:29,440
Speaker 1: should people be paying attention to?

747
00:37:30,680 --> 00:37:33,000
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm upset to see Austin Dean triple A.

748
00:37:33,360 --> 00:37:36,120
Speaker 2: I mean, granted, it was necessary for what we had

749
00:37:36,160 --> 00:37:39,480
Speaker 2: with the roster makeup going into opening day, but the

750
00:37:39,560 --> 00:37:41,640
Speaker 2: kid did everything he needed to do in spring training

751
00:37:41,680 --> 00:37:44,040
Speaker 2: to make the opening day roster and he just didn't

752
00:37:44,080 --> 00:37:47,080
Speaker 2: make it. Stole more bases than anybody on the team.

753
00:37:47,480 --> 00:37:49,760
Speaker 2: He hit at a good clip, he was getting people,

754
00:37:49,960 --> 00:37:53,440
Speaker 2: he was scoring runs, he was playing decent defense. I'm

755
00:37:53,480 --> 00:37:55,800
Speaker 2: excited to see how long he has to spend in

756
00:37:55,880 --> 00:37:58,600
Speaker 2: triple A this year after torching it the last year

757
00:37:58,680 --> 00:38:03,200
Speaker 2: and torching double A the year. For that, Austin, I mean,

758
00:38:03,520 --> 00:38:08,400
Speaker 2: I passed Austin Dean, Gabby Guerrero, and Harol Ramirez again caught.

759
00:38:09,040 --> 00:38:10,480
Speaker 6: I just thought the short end of the stick.

760
00:38:10,520 --> 00:38:13,360
Speaker 2: In spring they got at bats in games, but it

761
00:38:13,400 --> 00:38:16,480
Speaker 2: wasn't important at bats. They were facing minor leaguers, they

762
00:38:16,480 --> 00:38:18,320
Speaker 2: were facing guys who weren't going to make the roster,

763
00:38:18,480 --> 00:38:21,440
Speaker 2: so it wasn't important at bats due to the position

764
00:38:21,520 --> 00:38:22,040
Speaker 2: battles we.

765
00:38:22,040 --> 00:38:24,280
Speaker 6: Had with Coop and Obi and so forth.

766
00:38:24,800 --> 00:38:27,399
Speaker 2: But those are three guys I'm really excited to see

767
00:38:27,400 --> 00:38:29,920
Speaker 2: going forward asan Diez probably my favorite, one of my

768
00:38:29,960 --> 00:38:32,680
Speaker 2: fair players in the entire system, needs to have a

769
00:38:32,760 --> 00:38:35,759
Speaker 2: huge year to really showcase that he's the real deal.

770
00:38:36,200 --> 00:38:39,560
Speaker 2: The swings gorgeous. Everybody knows that he just got to

771
00:38:39,600 --> 00:38:40,600
Speaker 2: put it together and put.

772
00:38:40,440 --> 00:38:41,240
Speaker 6: The bat on the ball.

773
00:38:42,120 --> 00:38:45,920
Speaker 2: With the rotation Nick Knighter, it's going to be obviously

774
00:38:45,960 --> 00:38:49,680
Speaker 2: the standout. And he's leading a group behind him with

775
00:38:49,840 --> 00:38:54,160
Speaker 2: Jeff Brigham, eli iSER and Hector and o'wisei which is

776
00:38:54,360 --> 00:38:56,600
Speaker 2: not the sexiest of staffs, but guys that can give

777
00:38:56,640 --> 00:38:59,440
Speaker 2: you out, along with the ben Meyer who has been

778
00:38:59,520 --> 00:39:01,520
Speaker 2: using the bull in the majors. But I would expect

779
00:39:01,600 --> 00:39:03,160
Speaker 2: him to get stretched back out as a start in

780
00:39:03,239 --> 00:39:08,000
Speaker 2: Triple A this year. In the bullpen, it's Tommy you faeld.

781
00:39:08,480 --> 00:39:13,320
Speaker 2: I mean, everybody loves touchdown Tommy me included. He looked

782
00:39:13,320 --> 00:39:17,120
Speaker 2: good in his opportunities to spring and I'm really excited

783
00:39:17,120 --> 00:39:20,440
Speaker 2: to see what he does with likely a closer position

784
00:39:20,480 --> 00:39:22,640
Speaker 2: with Nola this year in twenty nineteen.

785
00:39:24,600 --> 00:39:25,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm with you there.

786
00:39:25,960 --> 00:39:29,360
Speaker 4: I kind of view New Orleans as the antiththis but

787
00:39:29,440 --> 00:39:33,320
Speaker 4: not really to Jacksonville and Jupiter, where in Jupiter and

788
00:39:33,400 --> 00:39:35,799
Speaker 4: Jacksonville you go to see the pitching and you're there

789
00:39:35,800 --> 00:39:38,359
Speaker 4: and you're okay, because there's some hitters in New Orleans.

790
00:39:38,400 --> 00:39:40,120
Speaker 4: You're gonna come here to see the hitters. You're gonna

791
00:39:40,120 --> 00:39:42,239
Speaker 4: come here to see that deep outfield. You're going to

792
00:39:42,280 --> 00:39:45,040
Speaker 4: see a song, You're going to see Monte Harold, whoever

793
00:39:45,080 --> 00:39:47,040
Speaker 4: the case may be, You're going to see them. But

794
00:39:47,080 --> 00:39:51,200
Speaker 4: then you also say, because there's very unique special pictures

795
00:39:51,239 --> 00:39:54,400
Speaker 4: that you can see influencing the Marlins, sooner rather than later,

796
00:39:55,280 --> 00:39:57,680
Speaker 4: you know, touchdown Tommy. That's that's the man that I

797
00:39:57,719 --> 00:40:00,480
Speaker 4: would peg as the future closer, whether they're still using

798
00:40:00,480 --> 00:40:04,480
Speaker 4: closers around that time or not, of this next successful core.

799
00:40:04,719 --> 00:40:07,920
Speaker 4: That's that's why I think he will develop into. But

800
00:40:07,960 --> 00:40:12,680
Speaker 4: then you look at Nider or brig Him or whoever

801
00:40:12,719 --> 00:40:14,520
Speaker 4: the case may be, or is that Gallan, which quite

802
00:40:14,520 --> 00:40:16,040
Speaker 4: frankly I think is the first one that would get

803
00:40:16,080 --> 00:40:19,200
Speaker 4: called up if the if the rotation needs anybody, unless

804
00:40:19,200 --> 00:40:21,719
Speaker 4: they take Chen in there, god forbid, but if not

805
00:40:21,920 --> 00:40:25,359
Speaker 4: Doallan showed himself to be a sufficient starter this year.

806
00:40:25,360 --> 00:40:27,480
Speaker 4: In spring, he showed that he wasn't going to be

807
00:40:27,880 --> 00:40:30,839
Speaker 4: hit around the way he was last year. So so

808
00:40:31,080 --> 00:40:33,359
Speaker 4: I see it as you go for the fireworks, you're

809
00:40:33,400 --> 00:40:36,040
Speaker 4: there to see a song, right Fangrafts loves him, We

810
00:40:36,120 --> 00:40:38,440
Speaker 4: love him. He's he has that swing. He needs a

811
00:40:38,440 --> 00:40:41,439
Speaker 4: better approach. We want some more contact, but he's always

812
00:40:41,440 --> 00:40:44,160
Speaker 4: been a nice OVP guy as well. And then with Monte,

813
00:40:44,320 --> 00:40:46,440
Speaker 4: you want to make sure that that stance and that

814
00:40:46,600 --> 00:40:50,360
Speaker 4: change actually hasn't completely depleted the power that we saw

815
00:40:50,560 --> 00:40:52,319
Speaker 4: right in the AFL and there was in a fall

816
00:40:52,400 --> 00:40:54,160
Speaker 4: league we saw a little bit less power than we

817
00:40:54,239 --> 00:40:57,840
Speaker 4: did not see any power this spring. We want to

818
00:40:57,840 --> 00:41:00,000
Speaker 4: be able to see that he can still drive the ball. Effect,

819
00:41:00,480 --> 00:41:02,959
Speaker 4: so you go for the offense and you stick around

820
00:41:03,000 --> 00:41:05,200
Speaker 4: because there are definitely some pitchers that will be wearing

821
00:41:05,280 --> 00:41:07,239
Speaker 4: Marlin's uniforms much sooner than later.

822
00:41:08,200 --> 00:41:11,040
Speaker 5: Yeah, Danny, I'm glad you touched on Monte because, I mean,

823
00:41:11,360 --> 00:41:15,120
Speaker 5: we went through half a segment without talking about what

824
00:41:15,239 --> 00:41:18,439
Speaker 5: He's the second ranked prospect in our organization right now.

825
00:41:18,719 --> 00:41:22,480
Speaker 5: I mean, I love this guy. He brings an energy

826
00:41:22,520 --> 00:41:24,239
Speaker 5: to the game that's fun to watch. He's my kind

827
00:41:24,280 --> 00:41:26,600
Speaker 5: of guy in terms of just the swagger that he

828
00:41:26,640 --> 00:41:29,920
Speaker 5: brings to the field. But he really struggled, as we

829
00:41:29,960 --> 00:41:32,160
Speaker 5: all know, with striking out last year, as a lot

830
00:41:32,200 --> 00:41:34,640
Speaker 5: of guys did, as Sandias is another guy that did it.

831
00:41:35,160 --> 00:41:38,000
Speaker 5: He really really struggled with the strikeout and it's gonna

832
00:41:38,040 --> 00:41:40,279
Speaker 5: be the big storyline this year is can he get

833
00:41:40,280 --> 00:41:42,640
Speaker 5: the strikeout numbers down? Can he get on base more?

834
00:41:42,880 --> 00:41:45,000
Speaker 5: Can he put the ball in play more? And we

835
00:41:45,080 --> 00:41:48,239
Speaker 5: saw that in spring and in the Arizona Fall League.

836
00:41:48,239 --> 00:41:52,759
Speaker 5: But as you said, where was the power his I

837
00:41:52,800 --> 00:41:56,080
Speaker 5: think his slugging percentage was under four hundred in the

838
00:41:56,239 --> 00:41:59,560
Speaker 5: Arizona Fall League, which is pretty oncet for a guy

839
00:41:59,640 --> 00:42:04,000
Speaker 5: like man Harrison. Is ridiculous to see slugging less than

840
00:42:04,040 --> 00:42:06,600
Speaker 5: four hundred, but really on the offensive side of the ball.

841
00:42:06,640 --> 00:42:10,000
Speaker 5: For me, it's isan like, I think this guy is

842
00:42:10,040 --> 00:42:13,440
Speaker 5: the most solid prospect because of the way that he

843
00:42:13,520 --> 00:42:17,399
Speaker 5: can get on base. He's the type of player that

844
00:42:17,840 --> 00:42:20,440
Speaker 5: is very successful in the league right now. Where his

845
00:42:20,600 --> 00:42:23,759
Speaker 5: average in Jacksonville last year in eighty three games was

846
00:42:23,800 --> 00:42:27,200
Speaker 5: only two forty five, but his OBP was three sixty five,

847
00:42:27,960 --> 00:42:30,799
Speaker 5: So yeah, he doesn't make as much contact as you'd like,

848
00:42:30,880 --> 00:42:32,719
Speaker 5: but he gets on base, it's on and we know

849
00:42:32,840 --> 00:42:36,080
Speaker 5: he can hit for power with that beautiful swing, and

850
00:42:36,200 --> 00:42:39,799
Speaker 5: his strikeouts were a little high, but it wasn't as

851
00:42:39,920 --> 00:42:42,440
Speaker 5: bad as you know. It's not up in the thirties,

852
00:42:43,200 --> 00:42:44,960
Speaker 5: which has been a problem with some of the guys

853
00:42:45,000 --> 00:42:48,520
Speaker 5: in this organization. So it's better look for him to

854
00:42:48,719 --> 00:42:51,040
Speaker 5: lower the strikeout numbers and look for him to just

855
00:42:51,120 --> 00:42:53,279
Speaker 5: continue to get to get on base and if he

856
00:42:53,280 --> 00:42:55,719
Speaker 5: can make more contact, there's no doubt he's shown up

857
00:42:55,920 --> 00:42:59,840
Speaker 5: in Miami at some point this year. With pitchers obviously,

858
00:43:00,200 --> 00:43:02,680
Speaker 5: story is Nidert. I'm surprised. I have yet to call

859
00:43:02,719 --> 00:43:06,160
Speaker 5: anybody the Kyle Hendricks of the organization yet on this podcast,

860
00:43:06,239 --> 00:43:08,840
Speaker 5: but Nider is one of those guys that I'd consider

861
00:43:09,400 --> 00:43:12,640
Speaker 5: another guy like Yams with not as much you know,

862
00:43:12,960 --> 00:43:15,160
Speaker 5: fiery stuff like some of the guys in the lower

863
00:43:15,200 --> 00:43:19,120
Speaker 5: parts of the organization, but can control it so well

864
00:43:19,160 --> 00:43:23,120
Speaker 5: and is really deceptive. He was absolutely dominant all last year.

865
00:43:23,160 --> 00:43:25,000
Speaker 5: I think Eli you said he was the pitcher of

866
00:43:25,040 --> 00:43:28,239
Speaker 5: the year in the organization. His numbers, night after night

867
00:43:28,280 --> 00:43:31,279
Speaker 5: after night were always impressive. I loved when he would

868
00:43:31,280 --> 00:43:33,560
Speaker 5: take the mound because I knew I was gonna have

869
00:43:33,680 --> 00:43:38,800
Speaker 5: something good to report, great picture. I wouldn't be surprised

870
00:43:38,800 --> 00:43:40,520
Speaker 5: at all if we see him. He I mean, he

871
00:43:40,520 --> 00:43:43,360
Speaker 5: made a jump up to number three. I think it

872
00:43:43,560 --> 00:43:47,759
Speaker 5: definitely into the top five pipe on Pipeline in terms

873
00:43:47,800 --> 00:43:51,960
Speaker 5: of our top thirty. I love Nider Gallin. I was

874
00:43:52,000 --> 00:43:54,120
Speaker 5: really hoping he would make an appearance in the in

875
00:43:54,160 --> 00:43:55,880
Speaker 5: the major leagues last year, and it was kind of

876
00:43:55,880 --> 00:43:58,520
Speaker 5: concerning to me that he didn't. But it seemed like

877
00:43:58,520 --> 00:44:00,120
Speaker 5: he had a good spring and he had some really

878
00:44:00,200 --> 00:44:05,600
Speaker 5: nice performances last last season, so I'm excited to see him.

879
00:44:05,680 --> 00:44:08,000
Speaker 5: I hope he gets called up to the big leagues

880
00:44:08,040 --> 00:44:10,520
Speaker 5: at some point because we got to get something out

881
00:44:10,520 --> 00:44:15,240
Speaker 5: of this Ozuna trade besides just Sandy Alcantara. And obviously

882
00:44:15,320 --> 00:44:17,359
Speaker 5: Sandy's great and he had a great start the other night,

883
00:44:17,560 --> 00:44:19,759
Speaker 5: but we really need somebody else from this trade to

884
00:44:19,760 --> 00:44:22,480
Speaker 5: produce for it to really pay off because Ozuna is

885
00:44:22,520 --> 00:44:25,000
Speaker 5: such a great player. But the biggest storyline for me

886
00:44:25,120 --> 00:44:28,399
Speaker 5: is Monte. I'll be watching Monte Monte Monte the entire year,

887
00:44:28,640 --> 00:44:30,799
Speaker 5: and I just really hope he gets the strikeouts down

888
00:44:30,840 --> 00:44:33,759
Speaker 5: and we see him hitting for more power than we

889
00:44:33,800 --> 00:44:37,000
Speaker 5: did in Arizona and in the spring. But this is

890
00:44:37,040 --> 00:44:39,200
Speaker 5: an exciting roster for sure. I mean not as many

891
00:44:39,200 --> 00:44:40,800
Speaker 5: big names as you would expect that you know, the

892
00:44:40,840 --> 00:44:44,120
Speaker 5: two big names obviously and the Nighter, but Tommy Evil,

893
00:44:44,239 --> 00:44:47,319
Speaker 5: like you guys talked about, if Guzman doesn't take the

894
00:44:47,360 --> 00:44:50,480
Speaker 5: closing role, if he stays around, then Eveled is definitely

895
00:44:50,520 --> 00:44:53,200
Speaker 5: a guy that's in line for that. And he's just

896
00:44:53,239 --> 00:44:56,480
Speaker 5: an entertaining guy. And but yeah, I like this New

897
00:44:56,600 --> 00:44:59,480
Speaker 5: Orleans roster a lot. But Ian and Monte are the

898
00:44:59,520 --> 00:45:02,560
Speaker 5: two guys to really really focus on because they're gonna,

899
00:45:03,040 --> 00:45:05,040
Speaker 5: I hope they're going to produce a bunch of to

900
00:45:05,040 --> 00:45:05,680
Speaker 5: play this year.

901
00:45:07,040 --> 00:45:07,359
Speaker 1: All Right.

902
00:45:07,719 --> 00:45:09,759
Speaker 2: I feel terrible for not bringing up Monty and my

903
00:45:09,840 --> 00:45:15,600
Speaker 2: second guys that the top guys, because I'm so focused

904
00:45:15,600 --> 00:45:18,080
Speaker 2: on the top of guys that aren't being talked about.

905
00:45:18,840 --> 00:45:19,680
Speaker 6: But I feel this.

906
00:45:19,760 --> 00:45:23,240
Speaker 2: I feel disappointed now, but I'm excited for for Monte

907
00:45:23,320 --> 00:45:26,319
Speaker 2: season and Nola and no leg kicking homers is all

908
00:45:26,360 --> 00:45:27,000
Speaker 2: I'm looking for.

909
00:45:27,640 --> 00:45:28,880
Speaker 5: You know, It's my fault.

910
00:45:29,080 --> 00:45:32,000
Speaker 1: I took time second notes together and make sure I

911
00:45:32,080 --> 00:45:36,280
Speaker 1: highlighted like every player that was mentioning, and then I

912
00:45:36,280 --> 00:45:39,080
Speaker 1: turned on the pod and don't know where the notes went.

913
00:45:39,239 --> 00:45:41,480
Speaker 1: So I was like speaking on the top of my

914
00:45:41,520 --> 00:45:44,840
Speaker 1: head and I thought I got everybody, except I missed

915
00:45:44,840 --> 00:45:47,520
Speaker 1: the guy that we used to promote this episode. And

916
00:45:47,600 --> 00:45:56,600
Speaker 1: there for sure, Monte is going to be mentioned frequently

917
00:45:56,800 --> 00:45:59,719
Speaker 1: and on the website frequently. And we're going to get

918
00:45:59,719 --> 00:46:01,640
Speaker 1: out of here on one more thing that I did

919
00:46:01,640 --> 00:46:04,480
Speaker 1: not prepare you for. So please do not overthink it.

920
00:46:04,520 --> 00:46:07,439
Speaker 1: But it's fun to just put your thoughts out there

921
00:46:07,480 --> 00:46:09,800
Speaker 1: at this time of year. If you were to predict

922
00:46:10,000 --> 00:46:12,080
Speaker 1: who you think is going to be the player of

923
00:46:12,120 --> 00:46:14,799
Speaker 1: the year in this organization, the best position player, and

924
00:46:14,880 --> 00:46:18,120
Speaker 1: the pictuer of the year, who are your favorites for

925
00:46:18,200 --> 00:46:20,719
Speaker 1: those awards at any level of the organization they give

926

Speaker 1: it out to, you know, anyone in a full season affiliate,

927
00:46:23,320 --> 00:46:26,319
Speaker 1: Who are your picks? Starting with ian your Player of

928
00:46:26,320 --> 00:46:28,880
Speaker 1: the year, Picture of the year predictions for twenty.

929
00:46:28,760 --> 00:46:32,480
Speaker 6: Nineteen man player of the Year, and picture predictions.

930
00:46:32,840 --> 00:46:38,840
Speaker 2: I believe Jordan Holloway or Zach Gallen will be the

931
00:46:38,840 --> 00:46:44,360
Speaker 2: picture of the year in the entire organization. Hitter of

932
00:46:44,400 --> 00:46:49,200
Speaker 2: the Year is tricky on that one. David Bradshaw won

933
00:46:49,360 --> 00:46:51,440
Speaker 2: lower or he went back to avious hit earlier year

934
00:46:51,480 --> 00:46:54,279
Speaker 2: last year for three six before average and getting on

935
00:46:54,320 --> 00:46:56,960
Speaker 2: base like a monster. I could see something I like

936
00:46:57,040 --> 00:46:59,080
Speaker 2: that coming from Brian Miller this year in double A.

937
00:46:59,600 --> 00:47:02,759
Speaker 2: But my full, my full focus, and my pick for

938
00:47:02,880 --> 00:47:08,320
Speaker 2: Pitter of the Year would have to be a Sandias.

939
00:47:08,640 --> 00:47:10,439
Speaker 2: I mean, I think he's gonna hit twenty on runs

940
00:47:10,480 --> 00:47:12,759
Speaker 2: and triple A this year. I think he's going to

941
00:47:12,800 --> 00:47:16,479
Speaker 2: be in the majors in August, and I have full,

942
00:47:16,760 --> 00:47:19,520
Speaker 2: full faith in him as becoming a top lay prospect.

943
00:47:20,600 --> 00:47:21,160
Speaker 3: I like it.

944
00:47:21,239 --> 00:47:22,759
Speaker 4: You know, you and I always joke that we agree

945
00:47:22,760 --> 00:47:25,120
Speaker 4: a lot, but we really do. But I won't choose

946
00:47:25,120 --> 00:47:27,560
Speaker 4: the same one. I wan't too the same one different

947
00:47:27,600 --> 00:47:29,200
Speaker 4: for you, hitter or of the Year. I'm gonna go

948
00:47:29,200 --> 00:47:34,680
Speaker 4: Tristan Pompey. I want, I know, I know, I know,

949
00:47:34,800 --> 00:47:35,960
Speaker 4: but hey, no one has said it yet.

950
00:47:36,320 --> 00:47:39,080
Speaker 2: I know I fell in love with Tristan draft and

951
00:47:39,160 --> 00:47:41,319
Speaker 2: that's a good pick, absolutely.

952
00:47:40,800 --> 00:47:41,720
Speaker 3: So I'm going with Tristan.

953
00:47:41,800 --> 00:47:44,160
Speaker 4: And then we're you definitely where we definitely sound and

954
00:47:44,200 --> 00:47:48,400
Speaker 4: we agree alike are I am choosing Jordan Holloway. I

955
00:47:48,440 --> 00:47:51,399
Speaker 4: loved the segment that you did with him.

956
00:47:51,560 --> 00:47:52,720
Speaker 3: I just love the stuff.

957
00:47:53,480 --> 00:47:55,879
Speaker 4: I really believe, and it's it's a risky pick right

958
00:47:55,920 --> 00:47:58,239
Speaker 4: coming off whatever the case may be. But I think

959
00:47:58,239 --> 00:48:00,480
Speaker 4: that he's going to put it together, and you usually

960
00:48:00,520 --> 00:48:03,000
Speaker 4: there's some spark for the people that don't see it coming,

961
00:48:03,360 --> 00:48:04,480
Speaker 4: and I see that with him.

962
00:48:04,520 --> 00:48:06,960
Speaker 3: So my two are Pompey and Holloway.

963
00:48:08,239 --> 00:48:10,319
Speaker 5: The last few years, the hitter of the year has

964
00:48:10,840 --> 00:48:14,320
Speaker 5: been one of the more under the radar guys, James

965
00:48:14,360 --> 00:48:18,040
Speaker 5: Nelson two years ago and then Austin Dean last year.

966
00:48:18,120 --> 00:48:21,359
Speaker 5: So this year, I'm gonna go with Brigman. I pulled

967
00:48:21,440 --> 00:48:23,880
Speaker 5: up the numbers, and the numbers are really good. He

968
00:48:23,960 --> 00:48:26,759
Speaker 5: makes contact aton, he gets on base a lot. I

969
00:48:26,760 --> 00:48:29,799
Speaker 5: think he'll put up really good numbers again in Jacksonville.

970
00:48:30,560 --> 00:48:32,759
Speaker 5: So I think Bryson Brickman is gonna end up being

971
00:48:32,760 --> 00:48:34,720
Speaker 5: the hitter of the year. I think he'll have another

972
00:48:34,840 --> 00:48:38,719
Speaker 5: really solid year in Jacksonville, and then hopefully maybe even

973
00:48:38,800 --> 00:48:40,919
Speaker 5: we could see him up in New Orleans and put

974
00:48:41,200 --> 00:48:44,279
Speaker 5: together some nice numbers. Picture of the year is a

975
00:48:44,320 --> 00:48:48,640
Speaker 5: little more complicated because there's so many good options. But

976
00:48:50,680 --> 00:48:53,279
Speaker 5: I'm gonna go with Nider. I just think he's just

977
00:48:53,360 --> 00:48:56,040
Speaker 5: so solid and the starts that he put together last

978
00:48:56,120 --> 00:48:59,799
Speaker 5: year were so impressive. The way that every fifth night

979
00:48:59,840 --> 00:49:02,479
Speaker 5: or however many it is, because sometimes he gets thrown

980
00:49:02,560 --> 00:49:05,279
Speaker 5: off in the minor leagues, but every time out there

981
00:49:05,600 --> 00:49:09,000
Speaker 5: he was really just so impressive, and I mean going deep,

982
00:49:09,239 --> 00:49:13,319
Speaker 5: going six plus innings, striking a bunch of guys out,

983
00:49:13,400 --> 00:49:15,200
Speaker 5: not letting up a ton of hits, not letting up

984
00:49:15,200 --> 00:49:19,520
Speaker 5: a ton of walks. Just I don't see any reason

985
00:49:19,560 --> 00:49:23,040
Speaker 5: to expect anything less from Nider this year. I think

986
00:49:23,040 --> 00:49:26,200
Speaker 5: he puts together another really solid year and the only

987
00:49:26,280 --> 00:49:29,120
Speaker 5: reason I would say he won't win it is because

988
00:49:29,120 --> 00:49:31,000
Speaker 5: he gets to the MLB too early. If he just

989
00:49:31,040 --> 00:49:33,080
Speaker 5: continues to dominate the way he did last year.

990
00:49:34,920 --> 00:49:37,319
Speaker 2: One under the radar guard under the radar guy that

991
00:49:37,360 --> 00:49:40,200
Speaker 2: can win Pitcher of the Year as well is newcomer

992
00:49:40,239 --> 00:49:43,279
Speaker 2: Will Stewart. Yeah, number the numbers he put up last

993
00:49:43,360 --> 00:49:46,360
Speaker 2: year and low A were phenomenal. I mean it was

994
00:49:46,360 --> 00:49:48,719
Speaker 2: his first real year with numbers like that, but one

995
00:49:48,800 --> 00:49:51,239
Speaker 2: hundred and twenty innings, he struck out one hundred and

996
00:49:51,320 --> 00:49:53,239
Speaker 2: nineteen batters. He was eight and nine one, He had

997
00:49:53,280 --> 00:49:57,080
Speaker 2: the era of two. He was phenomenal. He works five

998
00:49:57,120 --> 00:49:59,919
Speaker 2: pitches into his arsenal. I mean, I has the Billy

999
00:50:00,080 --> 00:50:02,759
Speaker 2: to be a stud built the same white Nyri it is,

1000
00:50:02,800 --> 00:50:06,440
Speaker 2: but with Adam Conley deception it's it's a fun one

1001
00:50:06,480 --> 00:50:06,880
Speaker 2: to watch.

1002
00:50:07,880 --> 00:50:09,520
Speaker 4: The only thing I'm disappointed of is that you didn't

1003
00:50:09,560 --> 00:50:11,560
Speaker 4: set that up with you know, the guy we got

1004
00:50:11,600 --> 00:50:14,279
Speaker 4: for Riamudo and the.

1005
00:50:14,239 --> 00:50:16,319
Speaker 2: Guy we got coming up or an interview here soon

1006
00:50:16,360 --> 00:50:20,160
Speaker 2: on Perfect Perfect.

1007
00:50:20,960 --> 00:50:24,080
Speaker 1: Yeah. Absolutely the goal of this pod moving forward once

1008
00:50:24,160 --> 00:50:25,840
Speaker 1: I get kicked out of here. It's a little clumsy

1009
00:50:25,880 --> 00:50:28,319
Speaker 1: to do it with four people that are all part

1010
00:50:28,360 --> 00:50:30,279
Speaker 1: of that. Once I get out of here, and we're

1011
00:50:30,280 --> 00:50:32,920
Speaker 1: going to bring in plenty of guests on a weekly basis,

1012
00:50:33,120 --> 00:50:37,200
Speaker 1: whether it's players in the organization, guys that are consensus prospects,

1013
00:50:37,200 --> 00:50:39,480
Speaker 1: are ones that just have fun stories, whether it's the

1014
00:50:39,480 --> 00:50:42,040
Speaker 1: expert evaluators. We're gonna mix it up and bring in

1015
00:50:42,160 --> 00:50:45,280
Speaker 1: a lot of different perspectives and have a good time.

1016
00:50:45,760 --> 00:50:48,920
Speaker 1: And I'll stay behind the scenes managing this, editing this

1017
00:50:48,960 --> 00:50:51,240
Speaker 1: episode and putting it up and promoting it for you guys.

1018
00:50:51,840 --> 00:50:54,840
Speaker 1: For people that are unfamiliar, I'm the one that sends

1019
00:50:54,840 --> 00:50:57,760
Speaker 1: out the tweets from fish Stripes that operates our Facebook

1020
00:50:57,880 --> 00:51:01,319
Speaker 1: Instagram pages. So whenever you see stuff there that is

1021
00:51:01,400 --> 00:51:02,400
Speaker 1: not very good.

1022
00:51:02,400 --> 00:51:03,560
Speaker 6: Complains me.

1023
00:51:04,480 --> 00:51:07,759
Speaker 1: And anything that doesn't come together all that great with

1024
00:51:07,800 --> 00:51:10,239
Speaker 1: this pod episode again that one. That one's on me

1025
00:51:10,400 --> 00:51:12,560
Speaker 1: trying to set it up and get comfortable with this.

1026
00:51:13,360 --> 00:51:15,640
Speaker 1: But yeah, I mean, I think all three of you guys,

1027
00:51:16,160 --> 00:51:18,040
Speaker 1: I think you're gonna put together a great pot throughout

1028
00:51:18,040 --> 00:51:20,600
Speaker 1: the year. So I'm gonna work my best behind the

1029
00:51:20,600 --> 00:51:24,319
Speaker 1: scenes to make sure everything goes together squidly and we

1030
00:51:24,440 --> 00:51:27,239
Speaker 1: get a kind of audience we're looking for. You can

Speaker 1: to have his own weekly pod on this network with

1042
00:52:03,480 --> 00:52:07,719
Speaker 1: us that I'm really excited about. I think we're going

1043
00:52:07,760 --> 00:52:09,279
Speaker 1: to get out of here, and we probably went over

1044
00:52:09,320 --> 00:52:11,440
Speaker 1: the time limit that I was looking at. We got

1045
00:52:11,480 --> 00:52:13,879
Speaker 1: your predictions that you could gloat about if you were right,

1046
00:52:14,000 --> 00:52:17,200
Speaker 1: and you can if they turned out to be really wrong.

1047
00:52:18,440 --> 00:52:21,960
Speaker 1: And we'll see everybody back here next week except for me.

1048
00:52:22,280 --> 00:52:23,040
