Speaker 1: Fantasy Sports Radio Network alongside Reggie standf Well, I am Greg. Hey,
Speaker 1: what's going on? Man? What's happening here? Hump Day? Wednesday March?
Speaker 1: Have any opening day? Greg in Tokyo? Have any opening
Speaker 1: day to use? Well? There you go. Greg got the
Speaker 1: micne Yeah, shut it off because I was moving around.
Speaker 1: They didn't want to you know. How are you doing, man?
Speaker 1: How's everything going? It's not going great? Man. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: set the tone for the show. Reggy's very grouchy. Reggy's grouchy.
Speaker 1: Everyone's talking crap about his Maryland Terrapins. Everyone has Belmont
Speaker 1: upsetting the Terps in the first round, including me in
Speaker 1: my bracket. But I'm just going based on what Greg
Speaker 1: tells me. Gregg tell me Maryland sucks, so I take
Speaker 1: them to lose in the first round. And not only that,
Speaker 1: because I'm sitting there and I'm excited for Maryland to play.
Speaker 1: When I put it up on the screen downstairs, I'm
Speaker 1: probably gonna miss some programming because of that. And Frank's
Speaker 1: go on, I'm like, are you kidding me? Well, I
Speaker 1: want to do what would I would I do that?
Speaker 1: Do I do that? Like when I walk in and
Speaker 1: like that jet shuck? Yeah? Well you can. I mean
Speaker 1: everyone else does it. Fine, I'm used to it. Sorry, Greg,
Speaker 1: how's it going? But if you drafts last night? I
Speaker 1: feel like that might be contributing to Greg's gratchiness as well. Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 1: everything's contributing to my grashiness. The only one thing that's
Speaker 1: currently going well in my life, I'd say that's fantasy basketball.
Speaker 1: The more listening, it's fine, that's not Judy's fantasy basketball. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, like in the ass moments, really wedding stuff,
Speaker 1: stupid stuff, not even wedding stuff, stupid stuff, and not
Speaker 1: even her fault. I don't blame her. I'm I'm not
Speaker 1: mad at her, and anyway, it's other people in regards
Speaker 1: the other things I'm not looking for. There's nothing with
Speaker 1: the wedding, okay, not at all. It's all it, greggy.
Speaker 1: I mean, we had a lot going on last night.
Speaker 1: So then last night, as everybody knows, I have to
Speaker 1: drave tow drafts last night. So my setup was was beautiful.
Speaker 1: I got there. I was the first person to the
Speaker 1: rum where you're drafting. What my buddy and I was
Speaker 1: the program, sat down in my seat right I had
Speaker 1: my computer right here, my iPad right here, right iPad
Speaker 1: in the CBS draft. Ready to ready to rock, Ready
Speaker 1: to get excited, let's go, ready to go, ready to rock.
Speaker 1: I got my laptop here as I am commissioner, as
Speaker 1: you know, for our draft only draft going on at
Speaker 1: people trading picks and stuff. You gotta got as everybody.
Speaker 1: As everybody knows, they's well started today. We'll get into
Speaker 1: that in a bit. So I not only have to
Speaker 1: keep track of the draft board in this league. Let's
Speaker 1: look with this sleep for a second. Keep track of
Speaker 1: the draft board, of course, cross out my players, like
Speaker 1: as they go, you track of who I'm taking, like
Speaker 1: making sure like I'm filling out my roster and looking
Speaker 1: good and get the categories. I have to enter the
Speaker 1: teams into Yahoo at the same time to make sure
Speaker 1: everything gets locked and loaded to be ready for people
Speaker 1: to play this morning. The stats count. You're a busy guy. Meanwhile,
Speaker 1: I'm still trying to follow another draft right here while
Speaker 1: keeping time per pick in my draft. You're man, and
Speaker 1: it's just so overwhelming. And then unfortunately during the draft
Speaker 1: there's some fortune news of some staffing here that I
Speaker 1: had to take care of, Like work wise, I always
Speaker 1: on work. I know about this, I don't know, probably
Speaker 1: not tell me during the break. It's just like a
Speaker 1: family situation that they popped up into nowhere, and I
Speaker 1: had to handle that. And I'm just like I keep saying,
Speaker 1: I just like, I'm just my head is just like
Speaker 1: That's why we tried not to stress you out. No no
Speaker 1: no no no no no no no no no no
Speaker 1: no no no, don't turn this around. You're sitting there.
Speaker 1: We tried to help you out. We didn't want to
Speaker 1: throw too much of the biggest bunch of trash I've
Speaker 1: ever ever really thinking about You're sitting here with the
Speaker 1: iPad first pick. Are we sure we want to get
Speaker 1: the draft? Hosi Ramirez. I respond immediately like definitely, yep.
Speaker 1: Second round comes Frank lines with the players for me.
Speaker 1: We also offered to do a three way FaceTime, but
Speaker 1: you didn't want to. I was in the middle of
Speaker 1: the draft, okay, I mean, look, that would have changed
Speaker 1: things though no one en I could not talk to you.
Speaker 1: It was not capable of adding another thing in my place.
Speaker 1: That's our fault. So immediately Frank then texts out like
Speaker 1: who's coming up for the second round, which I appreciated
Speaker 1: to hear. The guys there, what should we do? And
Speaker 1: I'm following out keeping track, and I'm like, wow, stand's
Speaker 1: gonna be there. We should draft Stanton. What does Frank
Speaker 1: do Jeff Stanton? Oh this is great, this is perfect.
Speaker 1: Its going exactly what how I wanted to how I
Speaker 1: wanted to go. Very very happy following. I feel like
Speaker 1: I'm real part of the team. I'm helping out. Third
Speaker 1: pick comes along, third pick comes along, let's see here.
Speaker 1: I don't want to screw I don't want to screw
Speaker 1: this up. All right, all right, Stanton. I want Stanton,
Speaker 1: please take him where up? It's Stanton. We got Stanton. Frank,
Speaker 1: now what so I say? So he goes. Here's the
Speaker 1: text mesage conversation in order we got Stanton. My immediate
Speaker 1: response that we got Stanton is all right, now what engaged?
Speaker 1: I want to know what's happened? Next thing? I know?
Speaker 1: No response from no response from Florio. My next text
Speaker 1: message says, Marte, huh, no picture. It wasn't like, hey,
Speaker 1: what should we do. It wasn't like all right, here
Speaker 1: the pictures left you. It wasn't like here the outfielders left.
Speaker 1: Here are the players left? It was just no response.
Speaker 1: And my next text messages Marte, huh. And I will
Speaker 1: now defend myself in Florio and I remember what we
Speaker 1: were starting picture. We knew we wanted a picture in
Speaker 1: the first three rounds. Great, correct, that was the plan
Speaker 1: what everyone went between our Stanton pick and our third
Speaker 1: round pick. So we're the guys that went for pick four.
Speaker 1: It was it was Freeman, Blackman, Bowers, carrasco synder Guard.
Speaker 1: We really wanted one of Obviously they all go at
Speaker 1: this point off the table, the starting pictures are gone,
Speaker 1: right and we're kind of caught off We're caught off
Speaker 1: guard a little bit. I wouldn't completely honest. So when
Speaker 1: I went, obviously they're starting pictures that are available. Yeah,
Speaker 1: who was one of the starters that were available this time?
Speaker 1: James Paxson was my top ranked starting picture. Okay, so Paxton,
Speaker 1: I mean Shotsburg was available. You don't like, this is
Speaker 1: pick thirty four in the draft, so it's early third
Speaker 1: round right now. We opted to zig when everyone else
Speaker 1: was nagging. So now we it wasn't like it wasn't
Speaker 1: to the draft board. We took the value, but it
Speaker 1: wasn't like it was the best. I wasn't even told
Speaker 1: about this potential value like here well, because we thought
Speaker 1: we were going to get a picture, so I didn't like.
Speaker 1: We only had a minute twenty seconds left, so I
Speaker 1: didn't really have a lot of time to text you
Speaker 1: because I'm talking to Florio or FaceTime. And it wasn't
Speaker 1: it wasn't even like what would you have us What
Speaker 1: would you have had us do? I didn't even know
Speaker 1: who's there? What would you have wanted? Then? Based on
Speaker 1: I'll read you the players who were there and I
Speaker 1: love you, would you do that? We have Jose Ramirez
Speaker 1: on our team, we have Joan, Carl Stan fantastic start
Speaker 1: love it. I don't regret one, oh no, one bit
Speaker 1: at all. Absolutely not. That was part of we said
Speaker 1: that they dropped to take second round. No issue. I said,
Speaker 1: you asked me what I wanted. I said, Stanton, because
Speaker 1: I mean you might have buyer's remorse afterwards and say, well,
Speaker 1: you know, we could have taken a starting picture there,
Speaker 1: and we don't get. I don't, I don't, I don't eat.
Speaker 1: I don't either. So the top available players Greg are Starling, Marte,
Speaker 1: wit Merrifield wants Soto, Anthony Rizzo, Chris Bryant, Adalbertomond to see,
Speaker 1: Odie Blonser, Anthony Rendon, Andrew Benn and Andy. And then
Speaker 1: it's Acton Strasburg, who Avenger, Flawerty Wheeler, that whole group.
Speaker 1: So for me personally, I would have either taken not
Speaker 1: the huge Marte guy. You know that out of the
Speaker 1: names you mentioned, Chris br Cody Bellinger both come to
Speaker 1: minds two the hitters that I may have preferred. And
Speaker 1: that's obviously we had Stan and don't big. You know,
Speaker 1: I'm not a Bryant guy. Fine, and this is something
Speaker 1: and I completely recognize in a minute twenty seconds is
Speaker 1: very hard and I'm not there bas I mean to
Speaker 1: talk this part out with you, and I recognize that.
Speaker 1: But if you're telling I would have what I would
Speaker 1: have liked. It was like a text message like, hey,
Speaker 1: here's the guy that's on the board staring. Morte is
Speaker 1: like our guy. That's fine. If I had had more time,
Speaker 1: I would have starring Marte is the guy we got.
Speaker 1: The whole crew didn't even because look, we took one
Speaker 1: minute seventeen seconds left. It's one minutelock, so it was
Speaker 1: down to the wire. So who so who are you
Speaker 1: designing between? We were we were honestly we were gonna
Speaker 1: grab more slone basis here. So it was between Rte,
Speaker 1: Maryfield and Mondesty. Those were the three that we were
Speaker 1: debating Greg. After that we didn't have to worry about
Speaker 1: stolen base for a long time. To Marte, Jose Murra,
Speaker 1: so you would have been off of Briant, you would
Speaker 1: have off Bellinger. I would have it was me, which
Speaker 1: is what you asked. I would have pushed to bring
Speaker 1: up one of the pictures and I'll tell you why
Speaker 1: there's none of them. Coming back. A single woman was
Speaker 1: gonna get back to us degree, not Stoshburg, not Cleft
Speaker 1: because to me, yes they did, because because Wheeler and
Speaker 1: ty One are in the same tier. But none of
Speaker 1: those four came back. They did. Oh Wheeler and we're
Speaker 1: both there in the fourth round. What about the other
Speaker 1: four I just mentioned, No, no Flaherty, But but how
Speaker 1: about this. For the rest of the third round, nobody
Speaker 1: else took the picture. So at that point, at the
Speaker 1: end of the third round, I'm I'm feeling pretty good.
Speaker 1: I'm saying, all right, well, you know, some pictures are
Speaker 1: gonna make it back. Levinger goes in the fourth, Flaherty
Speaker 1: goes in the fourth accident, Granky Strassburg. They all go
Speaker 1: right ahead of us, miss missed the second run. But no, no,
Speaker 1: but why do we pull a starting picture of that
Speaker 1: caliber up the board into round early round three, when
Speaker 1: in my opinion, Heeler and Tyne are similar talented pictures
Speaker 1: in the same tier, and we had the option to
Speaker 1: grab either one of them. I thought that I thought
Speaker 1: we had spoken that the clev Flaherty Paxton tier was
Speaker 1: above his other tier. No, it's all one tier for me.
Speaker 1: I thought the top twelve, with which cuts off with
Speaker 1: Walker Bueller, who we will get into later on. He
Speaker 1: made his debut last night. And then my Tier three three, Greg,
Speaker 1: this is my Tier three Axton, Clevinger, Flaherty, Tyrone, Wheeler.
Speaker 1: Gotta move Wheeler up obviously, let me crafting him everywhere.
Speaker 1: But Wheeler, Tyne, Corbin and Strasburg me that's Tier three.
Speaker 1: P's your through nineteen. We got a guy towards the
Speaker 1: end of Tier three, but they're all in the same tier.
Speaker 1: I don't I really don't think that they're that far off, Greig.
Speaker 1: I don't think the difference between Paxton and Wheeler or
Speaker 1: Tyne is worth pulling Paxton all the way up the
Speaker 1: board into early round three right now, and we'll see
Speaker 1: how the pitching actually turns out. But I don't regret
Speaker 1: that we took Stoley Marte in the beginning of the
Speaker 1: third round because I think it gave us a base.
Speaker 1: We have Joseier, Miraz, Marte and Stanton. We have the power,
Speaker 1: we have r BIS, we have run scored like Rosier
Speaker 1: Miras five category contributor. Stanton really home runs r BIS
Speaker 1: and runs and it's stay. Marte gives you batting average
Speaker 1: he'll give you stolen bases, so he kind of counteracted
Speaker 1: what you needed from John Carl Stanton. So I don't
Speaker 1: regret what we what we did at that point. Through
Speaker 1: the first round mounds, it's going through my head like,
Speaker 1: oh my god, our pitching is gonna be terrible. But
Speaker 1: as we will get to Greg, I don't think get
Speaker 1: turned out so bad. I think it's terrible based on
Speaker 1: where we were at in the draft, and I think
Speaker 1: we execute that. I don't like any of these players
Speaker 1: from Zacch Wheeler, not as a number one starter, I
Speaker 1: don't know. I mean ideally I don't either, but it
Speaker 1: was one. I mean I got him as I got
Speaker 1: him as a two over the weekend too there too,
Speaker 1: did ye? I want him to me? Why can't Zach
Speaker 1: Wheeler based on what he did in the second half,
Speaker 1: He's not gonna do that. He's not gonna have a
Speaker 1: sub two e ar a. But I've been thinking about
Speaker 1: this a lot recently. Why can't Zach Wheeler be this
Speaker 1: year's Aaron Nola? Why can't he health number one? It's
Speaker 1: I'm not disputing anything anything about I love Zach Wheeler.
Speaker 1: Also the only reason why you don't like him as
Speaker 1: your one is because you haven't seen him do it
Speaker 1: for a full season. Correctly, we're all projecting him to
Speaker 1: take that next step, and didn't you want some sort
Speaker 1: of safety with that? But to me, it wasn't worth
Speaker 1: pulling Paxton all the way up the board into the
Speaker 1: early third round if you could get someone of similar caliber,
Speaker 1: you know, nearly thirty picks later. M I don't think
Speaker 1: the difference between all right, you know, if we would
Speaker 1: have taken backst in and round three and then whoever
Speaker 1: outfielder would have been in on four, who's who's there
Speaker 1: there was? Let's see the next outfielder taken was the
Speaker 1: outfielder is the hitters you were? You weren't just leaking
Speaker 1: after it was? Karea went right after a Wheeler, Iron Bray,
Speaker 1: You Robinson, cano In, Daniel Murphy, Sagura like naming players
Speaker 1: like I like, I like all these guys. Jean Siagura
Speaker 1: is actually a perfect replacement theoretically, mate, Like Jean Siagura
Speaker 1: is a poor man Stoley Marte basic. Right, so you've
Speaker 1: been training absolutely, so you're training out. I don't think
Speaker 1: the difference between Paxson and Wheelers worth that difference between
Speaker 1: Marte and Sigura anyway, plus you get the second outfielder,
Speaker 1: greg In Marte and was there too. I mean absolutely yeah. Look,
Speaker 1: I mean, you tell me, how is your guy? I
Speaker 1: like Tommy fam two. But then we come around in
Speaker 1: the early fifth round and we get Burrios too, and
Speaker 1: he's another guy who can take that next step this year.
Speaker 1: You know, you don't, You don't even really like I
Speaker 1: do like Burials and I've always liked Burrios. It's just
Speaker 1: the way that my teams have been instructed. I didn't
Speaker 1: really have an opportunity to grab him. Ideally, I would
Speaker 1: want him as an SP three. A lot of people
Speaker 1: are ending up with it as as their two. We
Speaker 1: end up with him as our two because we really
Speaker 1: needed pitching at that point. And it just so happens
Speaker 1: in a lot of my drafts. I already have two
Speaker 1: starting pitchers by round by the end of round four,
Speaker 1: or I'm just gonna take Wheeler in round five. So
Speaker 1: I don't. I just don't. Based on the way I
Speaker 1: construct my teams, I just haven't had really an opportunity
Speaker 1: to grab Jose Burrios. But if it didn't, here because
Speaker 1: we needed a starting pitcher, he's our SP two and
Speaker 1: I think he's another one of these pictures as the
Speaker 1: upside to take that next step, Greig, what do you
Speaker 1: like about Barrious? Well, he's gonna he's been a durable
Speaker 1: I mean, based on what he did last year, he
Speaker 1: took that next step in terms of being an ace picture.
Speaker 1: In terms of workload, he took that next step. I
Speaker 1: think he's gonna give us two hunder strikeouts. I think
Speaker 1: the whip is gonna be you know, sub one point two.
Speaker 1: I think the ear a is going to be better
Speaker 1: than where it's been. He's had, he's had major home
Speaker 1: road splits. Would he had a three eight e r
Speaker 1: A last year? You're you're telling me that he hasn't
Speaker 1: had the talent to be a three five ear a pick.
Speaker 1: I know he has a talent, but someone else hasn't
Speaker 1: put it together. And he's he's X fIF the second
Speaker 1: half last year, third picture X fit. I mean this
Speaker 1: is his third his third year, third or fourth his
Speaker 1: X five in the second half over four over four
Speaker 1: last year. You know he's a whip in the second
Speaker 1: half at one point four last year. He pointed that, Yeah, absolutely,
Speaker 1: he pointed. Zach Wheeler's second half though, one point one
Speaker 1: four whip. The one point four whip in the second half, yeah,
Speaker 1: but overall for the season one point. But do you
Speaker 1: take Zach Wheeler's entire season two? Yeah, even pointed out
Speaker 1: those last ten. I'm yeah, but I'm realistic. What I'm
Speaker 1: telling you, He's not gonna be a substitute r A pitch.
Speaker 1: You're telling me he'd be Aaron Nola, Yeah, which is
Speaker 1: a three z rch And I think Burials could be
Speaker 1: could jump down into the three. At one point one
Speaker 1: four whip for the season, that's better than the three

Speaker 1: Week days a PMS will Leven get him Eastern on
Speaker 1: the Fantasy Sports networking on your popular podcast Providers recaving
Speaker 1: our GSD draft last night route to round six. And
Speaker 1: what just confuses me is the reason I'm so comfortable
Speaker 1: with Frank and Mike doing this without me because I
Speaker 1: talking Frank literally every day and like almost every day
Speaker 1: about draft stuff. Frank Moore, So obviously two hours with
Speaker 1: you guys, and then whenever we talk off the it's
Speaker 1: like I kind of have an idea of who he
Speaker 1: likes when he likes in like that's cool. But then
Speaker 1: we get around six, like every you pick, especially the
Speaker 1: first four, I didn't know you like Josie Barrios, but
Speaker 1: like WHEE learned before that, I know you liked those guys,
Speaker 1: Like none of those is a surprised pulling and Floria
Speaker 1: loves Wheeler, so pulling out the board like that, none
Speaker 1: of that's surprising in any way. Hosie Barrious thing, I
Speaker 1: didn't like it, stand by that, but five taken over Barrios,
Speaker 1: I would have in that situation, would have taken Barrios
Speaker 1: and next starting picture drafted with Michael and David Price.
Speaker 1: Later on, David Price actually is ex starting picture drafted
Speaker 1: and Harmon Marquees. Actually, all right, you want that one
Speaker 1: corps Field on this team? No, no, no, no, you
Speaker 1: know that, you know I don't want this. Would you
Speaker 1: have taken over Barrios? This, This This is what het being
Speaker 1: locked into a picture here ultimately, David Price, he being
Speaker 1: locked into the picture. Burrios was the last. Yeah, I mean,
Speaker 1: I'm not disagreeing that Barrios the best picture on the board.
Speaker 1: I'm not disagreeing with that. I was surprised he was there.
Speaker 1: I thought was gonna take it too. And if you
Speaker 1: would have we probably would have taken Daniel Murphy. To
Speaker 1: be honest, I love it. We would have taken whoever
Speaker 1: Rohns didn't, you know? Yeah, that's those are the two
Speaker 1: guys we were looking at. Anyway, inside the mind of
Speaker 1: a drafter anyway. And just the record, Frank practice that
Speaker 1: line during the break. Round six, This one makes zero
Speaker 1: sense to me. We have christ is not on our team.
Speaker 1: Part of the show now, Chris Vature is not on
Speaker 1: our team. All right, but but there's the three of us.
Speaker 1: Because wants to pay an entry fade, he can, he
Speaker 1: can pay an entry fade. Round So round six we
Speaker 1: have stated here so many times yesterday. In fact, your
Speaker 1: second base targets we gave you this whole tears out
Speaker 1: man second bases deep und you know Win a ready
Speaker 1: Scooter Jeannette Win already And yet one of the guys
Speaker 1: that we absolutely loved it doesn't go with other five rounds,
Speaker 1: right you did in the sixth round ten goes Odor
Speaker 1: your second base of knowing he's going to be there
Speaker 1: in round tenn because second base is so deep. Frank
Speaker 1: has pointed to a Frank has pointed to Azzi Albi's
Speaker 1: second half many times on this show, particularly went talking
Speaker 1: to Chris Ventra and them love them. That's cool. I
Speaker 1: yet it's what adventures guys no issue. But to see
Speaker 1: that Frank and Mike then take Ozzy Albis in the
Speaker 1: sixth round, there's no sense to me, especially when guys
Speaker 1: like Victor Roeblaster on the board, who I like, who
Speaker 1: we like? Who we've taken Shane Bieber when we desperately
Speaker 1: need pitching. Mitch Hanneger round though Bieber Gregg who went
Speaker 1: four round four picks later for the record, Mitch Hanneger
Speaker 1: highest I've seen him go in any draft. Mitch Hanneger
Speaker 1: when there's we can certainly use some power in a
Speaker 1: third outfielder. We were debating Albis and Haneger. Why take
Speaker 1: Azzie Albies after being at him, especially in this spot
Speaker 1: so long. You like the value, like the value on Albis,
Speaker 1: but you don't like the player who cares. I've never
Speaker 1: I've never said that I'm completely out on Ausi Albeast
Speaker 1: don't very much. Hard to figure out this. I've had
Speaker 1: one in best balls, so this would be the second.
Speaker 1: But do you just ignore what he did in the
Speaker 1: first half? To Greg remember we were talking to Brad
Speaker 1: Ziegler on Friday. He made great points that do you
Speaker 1: just ignore what a player did in the first half too?
Speaker 1: And look, pictures made adjustments him in the second half.
Speaker 1: He needs to make adjustments back. Now, let's see what
Speaker 1: he did, what he learned in the off season. He's
Speaker 1: in a great lineup with the Atlanta Brave. He's probably
Speaker 1: gonna hit fifth or sixth in that lineup, right. I
Speaker 1: think he is upside to seal more basis than he
Speaker 1: did last year too. He had higher upside in terms
Speaker 1: of stealing bases in the miners. He's still more in
Speaker 1: the minors, so I think that more so in basically,
Speaker 1: come this year you could be player and in the
Speaker 1: Braves lineup, the county stats are gonna be really good.
Speaker 1: It was we felt like it was good value. We
Speaker 1: were debating, but like twenty at the end of the
Speaker 1: sixth round, you told me that you felt like you
Speaker 1: had speed. You had the speed kind of together when
Speaker 1: I asked you, why don't you take Victor road Blast?
Speaker 1: I got that. We went on. We really like, well,
Speaker 1: Alby is a little bit more trustworthy than road Blast. Sure,
Speaker 1: then in the major's first season, that's that's reasonable, but
Speaker 1: like second basement again deposition. You know, you're very big
Speaker 1: affiliate outfielders. So we're debating Handagar too, like Hannagar, no
Speaker 1: issue that the Albis. What are we doing here? Six plain? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I disagree. I mean, do you just not like Azzi
Speaker 1: Albi's at all? You're just out on him just the
Speaker 1: position if he felt like if he's there little he's
Speaker 1: there a little bit later on, maybe I just you
Speaker 1: just kind of seem right now slaves a DP to me, Oh,
Speaker 1: there's value here, I gotta take them. There's value here,
Speaker 1: I gotta take them with just Albi's anyone else that
Speaker 1: I've talked about I didn't. I didn't mention trade. Did
Speaker 1: you said, you said there's no picture on the board
Speaker 1: to the highest value? Yeah, I said, I think to
Speaker 1: think the difference between Paxton in the third and one
Speaker 1: of someone because you didn't want to pull you wouldn't
Speaker 1: want to pull Paxson up. Yeah, but it's not being
Speaker 1: enslave to a DP. If I think that those pictures
Speaker 1: are comparable and they're in the in the same tier,
Speaker 1: and I think that I could get one of them
Speaker 1: at the end of round four, to me, Paxton is
Speaker 1: a round four picture, So I understand what you're saying
Speaker 1: about A But if I know that I can get
Speaker 1: someone at the end of that tier, who's gonna be
Speaker 1: similar production in round four? And why wouldn't I wait
Speaker 1: until the end of round four and get one of
Speaker 1: those pres Because given that we given that we started,
Speaker 1: and were we get either the pictures, any of the
Speaker 1: pictures that's here that we wanted right that Synigard to
Speaker 1: the end up picked before us, there's being at any
Speaker 1: of them. My thought process at that point would have been,
Speaker 1: when you have two of the next tier, so I
Speaker 1: can make sure And Josie Bury is I believe it's
Speaker 1: not in that tier for you. He's just outside of it, right,
Speaker 1: So I would That's what I would have done. Personally.
Speaker 1: I wasn't in the draft and it's my fault. They can't.
Speaker 1: I can't really bitch and more when I wasn't there
Speaker 1: an The Ozzie Albies pick is one that I have
Speaker 1: not made in a lot of direct It is not
Speaker 1: very typical. Frankly, it is not anyone. I'm not just
Speaker 1: gonna throw Floria under the bus because I need to
Speaker 1: take the pick too. You can, but Floria liked Ozzie Albies.
Speaker 1: It's the text message Assie Albies. I don't know. Look,
Speaker 1: Florio asked him why he wanted. I don't disagree with
Speaker 1: the value there too. I think at the end of
Speaker 1: the sixth round it is a good value. You do
Speaker 1: a little bit of everything across the board. Frinkly, in
Speaker 1: player with good County stats in the middle of the
Speaker 1: Braves lineup, I never said that I was out on Albis.
Speaker 1: He's a hard player to figure out because he had
Speaker 1: an awesome first half last year and the second half
Speaker 1: was abysmal. There's no doubt about that then. So Frankie
Speaker 1: text Meggy, are you cool with that? I said, quote
Speaker 1: the drest Barrios, and then they asked me about lat
Speaker 1: and essentially skipped the Assie Albies pick on that very clear.
Speaker 1: We're thinking about Vlad Olsen maybe a close Oh I'm sorry,
Speaker 1: I don't don't referencing Ozzie Albert's there's too late six
Speaker 1: Lad Alb's Olsen hanneger? What say you? I say, Vlad,
Speaker 1: we forgot we had we had was there? Mirors is
Speaker 1: only in the third base. He doesn't have a second
Speaker 1: basic We took out we we we took Albis in
Speaker 1: the Chapman Oh, right, but the role is Chapman in
Speaker 1: the early seventh round. Greg, Now I'm problem at all,
Speaker 1: And we were kind of towards the beginning of that
Speaker 1: closer run. So you saw so right before, so right before,
Speaker 1: right before Chapman goes in the seventh, right before Chapman
Speaker 1: goes in the seventh, Kenley Jansen goes, Brad Hand goes,
Speaker 1: and Frankin and Mike smartly and rightfully saw the closed role. Cabing,
Speaker 1: I got one. I've got one of the big ones
Speaker 1: on there. I thought it was a great move. Not
Speaker 1: that single issue is a good pick, and I like
Speaker 1: Chapman over bros. You know, very happy with that. It's
Speaker 1: a good job. We were debating Chapman versus I think
Speaker 1: Vlad would still kind of in the discussion there. Matt
Speaker 1: Olsen was in the discussion as well, who you know,
Speaker 1: I like at the first based position, but ultimately it
Speaker 1: took Chapman, and I thought it was a smart move
Speaker 1: because in round seven, let's see one, six, seven, eight, nine,
Speaker 1: nine closers at a fifteen in round seven, So if
Speaker 1: we don't take Chapman in at that point, then we're
Speaker 1: looking at I don't even know a Rod's Viscayna was
Speaker 1: like the next closure that would have been our option
Speaker 1: around eight, So we were ahead of the curve there.
Speaker 1: So fantastic pick. Not a single point of contention from
Speaker 1: my side. All right, it gets a round eight. At
Speaker 1: round eight, I know we we were talking the chat
Speaker 1: the archer Kershaw still there in round eight. This was
Speaker 1: this round Kershaw to knockas their archers there free guys
Speaker 1: that we Kershaw. You didn't like it, and round eight
Speaker 1: you talk about value that round eight that's actually what
Speaker 1: we were gonna do. We're gonna take Kershaw because I
Speaker 1: don't like Kershaw at his a DP from over the
Speaker 1: weekend in the NFBC Main Events, and I wrote about
Speaker 1: this on my Patreon. Seventy four was his a DP.
Speaker 1: But when you talk about where we were at in
Speaker 1: this draft, in the eighth round, we're right around pick
Speaker 1: one fift at that point, I think, yeah, So at
Speaker 1: that point, like, if if you're around a hundred or
Speaker 1: later for Kershaw, you get your SP three, I'm totally
Speaker 1: fine with that. And that's we got sniped on a
Speaker 1: couple of picks right before there because we were looking
Speaker 1: at Kershaw, we were talking about Tanaka, um and you know,
Speaker 1: with three picks to go, it went Kershaw, Sevorno, Tanaka
Speaker 1: right ahead of us. And we're just sitting there like
Speaker 1: this was the worst thing that could happen because we
Speaker 1: were targeting starting pitchers. You're taking Sevorino as well. You
Speaker 1: didn't mention you don't think I think he should go
Speaker 1: later on, just because you know he could have missed one.
Speaker 1: Kershaw and Tanaka were very much definitely and Archer went
Speaker 1: in this round too, so so to Medelson. So we're
Speaker 1: up and we're kind of like, yeah, alright, I wanted
Speaker 1: starting picture this is one of the confusing ones from
Speaker 1: you want to starting, you want a starting picture, And
Speaker 1: the next ones that ultimately go are Kyle Hendricks, who
Speaker 1: would never have drafted, I hope and what are you
Speaker 1: guys which have been crazy if we took on this team,
Speaker 1: And then it's a starting picture, run Hendricks and wherever
Speaker 1: you guys, Luis Castio, Robbie right, Nick Pavetta, Um, they
Speaker 1: all go here because we have burials and we were
Speaker 1: at this point and Mike and I are talking and
Speaker 1: we're basically saying to each other, we just have to
Speaker 1: grab as many upside guys as we possibly. Yeah, we
Speaker 1: have to grab that, you know, the the group that
Speaker 1: we talked about, the Rodriguez, A lot of those upside guys.
Speaker 1: Just try and grab as many of them as possible.
Speaker 1: So to me personally, in this spot, I'll tell you
Speaker 1: what I would have done into Ferently, in this spot,
Speaker 1: we took Hayesler for those wondering what I was gonna
Speaker 1: reveal that yet. But I wouldn't have taken a picture
Speaker 1: because they are all very similar like that. I would
Speaker 1: have waited to the next pig eight picks later, because
Speaker 1: they are all very similar and I don't like feel
Speaker 1: this huge tug toward and Roda Rodriguez, for instance, I
Speaker 1: think it was probably my next picture on the board, Like,
Speaker 1: I don't feel that huge tig I didn't do in
Speaker 1: my other draft last night will get to an hour two, um,
Speaker 1: so I would have I would I agree with what
Speaker 1: you guys did in taking a hitter. That being said,
Speaker 1: I don't agree that Hagler was the best hitter. Was
Speaker 1: there anybody else that you guys were considering at that spot?
Speaker 1: Not really, because for us, he was the last of
Speaker 1: that tier of first baseman that's starting worthy tier. You know,
Speaker 1: at this point, Mike's bringing up the fact that he
Speaker 1: likes Max Monse and tell you I'm not a maximum
Speaker 1: and for O b PT and points league sure, but
Speaker 1: for batting average Rhado, it's just he's kind of black
Speaker 1: to me. So at this point it's Hayes's Agilar and
Speaker 1: then it's that group of Gallo and Carnacion MNC. Wait,
Speaker 1: so to me, I have Agila ranked in my tier two.
Speaker 1: I haven't actually ranked ahead of Matt Carpenter. So we
Speaker 1: were looking at it saying, all right, he's that last
Speaker 1: you know here too, first basement. We want some exposure
Speaker 1: to the Brewer's lineup, go ahead and grab him. And
Speaker 1: if you look at the hitters that were taken after him, Greg,
Speaker 1: there's none of them. Where I was kicking myself like
Speaker 1: we should have Shaw Chapman went afterwards, Tim Anderson, what
Speaker 1: is suppose should I tend to should I tend to
Speaker 1: agree with you? Terrists Buxton, Mustakis Like, maybe Mustocks, but
Speaker 1: again we already had Jose Ramirez, So yeah, so Mustakis
Speaker 1: and Shop but probably the two that stood out to
Speaker 1: me a Brewer, right, Um, So I wish there was
Speaker 1: like a guy that win in the next could picks
Speaker 1: here and that I was like, I wish you Why
Speaker 1: don't you hear that guy? It's not that we could
Speaker 1: have double balance starting pitcher. Yeah, maybe we go likeez,
Speaker 1: but I think if we needed that, Ronus probably would
Speaker 1: have taken kissing, which would have worked out well for you,
Speaker 1: because I know you hate Kist. I do hate, although
Speaker 1: I will say this, I'm not upsets to have like
Speaker 1: one sheriff him. There you go, Greg, Greg coming around
Speaker 1: on the team in this situation. On this team, it
Speaker 1: makes sense. On this team, it makes sense to Louise
Speaker 1: cast because we have Jose Berrios kind would like Jy
Speaker 1: have on this team too, that Greg our team is
Speaker 1: going to lead the league and home runs aloud and
Speaker 1: Louise kill yeah, yeah, yeah, if that were a I mean, yeah,
Speaker 1: we're number one in that key. But these guys have
Speaker 1: upside and that's what we needed at this point, how
Speaker 1: to take some upside shots. So Luise Castillo in the
Speaker 1: ninth round No Modica, round ten, I wasn't really mad
Speaker 1: because they were telling Mert players they were targeting, and
Speaker 1: they were doing a better job than I actually remembered.
Speaker 1: You know what, I'll tell you. Here's who we were
Speaker 1: debating in round nine instead of cast you. He told
Speaker 1: me this, Justin and a Cutchen. They all survived to
Speaker 1: all of them would have been our outfielder three. So
Speaker 1: all of them survives around ten, every one of them.
Speaker 1: And then they all go back to back to back
Speaker 1: to back, and as I saw one of them go,
Speaker 1: I said, we're not getting anything. And you know I
Speaker 1: love McCutcheon. I don't have any shares of Eloy yet,
Speaker 1: so that would have been fun. Justin Upton, I know
Speaker 1: you're not a Justin Upton guy at all, Greg, but
Speaker 1: I would have been so mad. He's a lock for
Speaker 1: two fifty and thirty home runs. If you would have
Speaker 1: put you would have put justin, you would have put
Speaker 1: justined up in Louis Casti on the same team. It's
Speaker 1: just like, am I even part of this team? I
Speaker 1: would have just sold it to Venture at that point.
Speaker 1: But in round nine, we thought that Upton, Eloy and
Speaker 1: McCutcheon were ranked so closely that you didn't necessarily want
Speaker 1: to make a decision. We were. We were hoping that
Speaker 1: one of those guys would come back and the decision
Speaker 1: would be made for us, and it was I don't
Speaker 1: hate you get none. I don't hate taking Louise Castio
Speaker 1: where we did, though we needed the SPS. As I
Speaker 1: said to you, I don't have a problem with it.
Speaker 1: So round ten comes like this is kind of a
Speaker 1: weird one too, Like I say, Ronette Odor still not
Speaker 1: off the board went always four hounds again just noting that,
Speaker 1: but there's no way of knowing that. I'm just stating
Speaker 1: a fact, thank you. So clearly, the my team's opinion
Speaker 1: in this was that we need that's really need a
Speaker 1: third outfielder three based on who's left on the board.
Speaker 1: I would have liked to take the best player on
Speaker 1: the board, which I don't really know that ever went
Speaker 1: after this pick young Amazario. We have a short start.
Speaker 1: I might have taken Paul the young, Wenna taken Bauld
Speaker 1: the young I can't knock. I can knock that, But
Speaker 1: then our third outfielder wouldn't have been great. So but
Speaker 1: here's the thing, So you take Piscotti at the end
Speaker 1: of the at the end of the tenth, the next
Speaker 1: outfield there's no outfielders drafted in around eleven. But what
Speaker 1: so what we were looking for and I'll just kind
Speaker 1: of explained the logic. Here is the next outfielder off
Speaker 1: the board. The next two outfielders off the boards for
Speaker 1: the record, our three next Kyli Shober, Aaron Hicks, and
Speaker 1: there in CRT Billy Hamilton's Y Dickerson, Domingo Santanta. And
Speaker 1: we considered Aaron Hicks as well, but I don't want
Speaker 1: to have injury optimism. You know, he's already gonna start
Speaker 1: the year on the I l with the three outfielders
Speaker 1: that we were looking at, and Upton, Eloy Jimenez and
Speaker 1: Andrew McCutcheon. What we were trying to get was a
Speaker 1: batting average that would not kill us to thirty home runs,
Speaker 1: solid county stats. We knew we didn't really need speed
Speaker 1: because we already have the solid base there. Greg And
Speaker 1: to me, we asked you no Piscotti or NCRT, and
Speaker 1: you wanted n cr And right after I took Scott,
Speaker 1: I was like, man, maybe we should have taken n
Speaker 1: c RT. But seeing the way that the rest of
Speaker 1: the team turned out, I don't regret taking to Scotty
Speaker 1: because I think he gives what was similar those other
Speaker 1: outfielers do sixty s batting average, five home runs, good
Speaker 1: counting stats. In the Oakland A's lineup, he's gonna hit
Speaker 1: in the middle. Hey, Gy, we already got a home
Speaker 1: run from him. It was the first sex Pasiness I
Speaker 1: said today Piscotty. I like Scotty. I think he's a
Speaker 1: little undervalues. I think Piscotty's almost like in this drafts
Speaker 1: it's almost like a poor man's mit chatting. You're in
Speaker 1: a way, it was like a break we go over
Speaker 1: the draft of the back. The Fantasy Sports Network is

Speaker 1: nineties song, and when it comes up with my nineties place,
Speaker 1: when it comes back on my nineties playlist, usually more
Speaker 1: often than not, I skip it, Okay. I mean it's
Speaker 1: not a song you can listen to all the time.
Speaker 1: It's gotta catch you at the right time. It's just
Speaker 1: caught me at the right I agree with that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I got you at the right time. Let's go back
Speaker 1: to the draft, back to the draft room. Even put
Speaker 1: Scotty roundta have a heache again. I just live in
Speaker 1: a print headache. This week, I noticed it's awful. Which
Speaker 1: combination do you like more? Since we were kid sitting
Speaker 1: Handegar into six and now that we know that we
Speaker 1: could have got Odor in a tenth Odor in Handeger first,
Speaker 1: Albi's and Scotty tag team match, who you got? I
Speaker 1: think it's close. I don't think it's far. I don't
Speaker 1: say Scotty's not that far off from Handegar. I don't
Speaker 1: think it's far. Will give you ten to twelve steels
Speaker 1: Scotty knowledge two. Yes, I mean that's that's the difference,
Speaker 1: eight to ten stone basis, that's a difference. That's why hands.
Speaker 1: But Piscotti made serious games in the second half. Lest here.
Speaker 1: I mean, let's not forget what he was dealing with
Speaker 1: his mother, obviously with his mother, and then you know
Speaker 1: the way that all of that went down, um, and
Speaker 1: then look his second half, he was a different player, man.
Speaker 1: I mean forcent hard hit rate in the second half,
Speaker 1: the home run, the fly ball ratio massive in the
Speaker 1: second half as well, because obviously hitting the ball hard,
Speaker 1: he doesn't make a ton of contact in the air. Um,
Speaker 1: second half, you know, thirty four point four percent, it's solid.
Speaker 1: But he hits a lot of line drives too, So
Speaker 1: you have fifteen home runs in the second half alone.
Speaker 1: Playing in Oakland, I think again, I think he could
Speaker 1: be a two seventy hitter, home runs five RBIs he's
Speaker 1: going to hit third in Oakland's lineup. We saw it
Speaker 1: today in the game in Tokyo. He was hitting behind
Speaker 1: Match Chapman, he was hitting ahead of Chris Davis. I
Speaker 1: think it's a little wonder value. He's just people might
Speaker 1: find him boring because he's gonna give you any stone
Speaker 1: basis which is which is usually you were even had
Speaker 1: the base though pready had the basse Greig, we had Albi's,
Speaker 1: we had Marte, we had Jose Ramirez, we had a
Speaker 1: lot of stone basis of them. Around eleven, you guys
Speaker 1: take Joe must Grove, which I think makes sense here
Speaker 1: he's probably bestowing picture on the board. Yeah, Joe Musgrove,
Speaker 1: Greg taking away Greg in around twelve, you're gonna take it. Nope.
Speaker 1: Round twelve, you you draft who's a Katana? Want pick
Speaker 1: before Domingo Santana? Um, welcome. We just wanted to We
Speaker 1: wanted more pitching, and we we told ourselves so Kantana
Speaker 1: was our top starting picture on the board, and we
Speaker 1: said we'll take whoever comes back between Santana and Meadows.
Speaker 1: I figured Roonas was gonna take Domingo Santana because he's
Speaker 1: been drafting him everywhere in draft that I've been in
Speaker 1: with RNAs, he's taken Domingo Santana every time. So we
Speaker 1: told ourselves, like, we'll take Antana, We'll take In round thirteen,
Speaker 1: we need a fourth altfiller, whoever comes back. Between Domingo
Speaker 1: Santana and at both of those guys would have went.
Speaker 1: I don't know what we would have. It's interesting because
Speaker 1: the guys that went here, I thought, are all kind
Speaker 1: of you. Guys in Domingo Santana, Ordo, Mariano, Jordan Hicks,
Speaker 1: Harrison bad Loriano now struck out three times this morning.
Speaker 1: I hope you are. I am kidding. I can't wait
Speaker 1: to one with Flora's Homers an opening day. I want
Speaker 1: you to kiss my damn feet. That will not happen. Greg,
Speaker 1: you buy lunch? No, you still you're trying to get
Speaker 1: me to buy you lunch. You still owe me lunch?
Speaker 1: What am I getting my lunch? Get lunch? Lunch? Man?
Speaker 1: My word, I didn't even win a lunch. I just
Speaker 1: told you i'd buy you lunch. Is a thank you.
Speaker 1: You didn't win anything. I just wanted to thank you.
Speaker 1: It was it was a month ago. Can we celebrate
Speaker 1: if it was a wins my bracket, No, Greg, my
Speaker 1: bracket comes over your you know affiliations. You're gonna lose
Speaker 1: your lunch. You're gonna lose your lunch. You can't revoke
Speaker 1: it's my lunch. I can do whatever I want. You
Speaker 1: on me a lunch, whether you love me or hate me.
Speaker 1: I think they we're gonna buy pizza on Friday. Oh gosh,
Speaker 1: what you eat pizza on Friday? Eat pizza? What you pizza?
Speaker 1: I can? What's wrong with that? I'm tired of pizza.
Speaker 1: I eat it every Friday now. It's like the only
Speaker 1: thing I can. I want to tell you, man, well,
Speaker 1: like I said to you previously, I can buy pizzas
Speaker 1: for Friday. And I want to do something for the tournament,
Speaker 1: like a little moreral boost, like we're all watching the
Speaker 1: tournament or pizza next Thursday and opening Day, but the
Speaker 1: tournaments like we're I don't know if we're fun. Opening
Speaker 1: days were fun for you, Opening Day more fun for me?
Speaker 1: Do you you do it next Thursday? And then take
Speaker 1: a poll? No, I mean Friday. Everyone wants Friday where
Speaker 1: they go out for the weekend. I think I think
Speaker 1: Friday was a nice thing to do for It's for
Speaker 1: the staff, all right. So for those that are listening,
Speaker 1: those that are downstairs, those are downstairs. I'm buying pizza
Speaker 1: next Friday, to be delivered Friday. This Friday. Sorry, next
Speaker 1: this Friday. At two o'clock March Madnesses. Don't bring lunch, Alex,
Speaker 1: you will be in charge of ordering said pizza and
Speaker 1: picking it out. No, we getta delivered. We gotta delivered.
Speaker 1: You're gonna charge of oria. I will give you my
Speaker 1: credit card before I go on the air. You can
Speaker 1: put it on my credit card. Ten large pizza and
Speaker 1: large pizzas extra garlic knots. Make sure you get like
Speaker 1: three six packs of beer orders called garld knots. Maybe
Speaker 1: a pasta platter taking off Fredo vodka. That's why it's
Speaker 1: the pizzas easier. All right, we'll go to Garland Knots.
Speaker 1: Would've never said Greg, do you like Greg gloves fresh
Speaker 1: monz arrolla. That's I would say that's your number one food. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Like I've never seen you eat a sandwich without fresh monzaralla.
Speaker 1: Oh it's not true. My like my sandwich bringing salad.
Speaker 1: You have like those little balls of fresh monzaralla in
Speaker 1: your salads? Well, will I create a salad myself? They do? Yes, Um,
Speaker 1: let me have my sandwiches at there's no fresh purson
Speaker 1: a ella on there really usually munster cheese, brolon cheese.
Speaker 1: I don't have fresh months, big fresh months, love fresh months.
Speaker 1: Love it tonight making I'm probably make a big city
Speaker 1: I gotta make it again. Chicken parmesan with vodka sauces. Great,
Speaker 1: I do that, I do it all the time. Man.
Speaker 1: Then it spice of the vodka and spicial the vodka
Speaker 1: sas some spicy red pepper. Oh yeah, you put that
Speaker 1: on at the end, but then all of the sauce

Speaker 1: same everything, any pasta totally totally all right, she think
Speaker 1: Austin meadows around their team. Are you enjoying this anymore? R? Yeah,
Speaker 1: well want do this? I want you to enjoy this.
Speaker 1: And the next time I got in my draft, all right,
Speaker 1: I'm leaving all right, I thought the player that I
Speaker 1: have on every team, Yes, I'm I'm buying it. I
Speaker 1: think again. Side here, I've seen Rosster. Resource has him
Speaker 1: as a platoon player. I don't know if they still
Speaker 1: do they did earlier on in draft season. This is
Speaker 1: the guy who actually held his own against lefties last year.
Speaker 1: He has prospect pedigree. He was you know, him and
Speaker 1: Glass now were the big pieces that the Tampa Bay
Speaker 1: Ray's got back in the trade for Chris Archer last year.
Speaker 1: So I just think based on his pedigree what they
Speaker 1: gave up to get him, I don't think that they're
Speaker 1: going to platoon him for Gallermo, Heredia greg. I think
Speaker 1: he's gonna play every single day. He held his own
Speaker 1: against lefties last year, and he's an interesting power speed combination.
Speaker 1: I think he can hit let's say, between sixteen and
Speaker 1: eighteen home runs and the same from stolen basis, and
Speaker 1: if he leads off the run production should be pretty
Speaker 1: good as well, with a not so bad batting veron
Speaker 1: let's say to seventy five. Okay, you know it makes
Speaker 1: a lot of contact. Like I said before, I would
Speaker 1: have preferred to make the Santana as you know he's
Speaker 1: Do you like Jose Kantana? I do You've sold me
Speaker 1: on him? I know he's one of your guys. He
Speaker 1: sold me on him. To me, he's the perfect compliment
Speaker 1: to some of these upside pitchers Joe musgro If you
Speaker 1: don't know how many Anies you're gonna get, Valdi, you
Speaker 1: don't know how many Anies you're gonna get, maybe one four?
Speaker 1: He won fifty to meet Katana before last year. He
Speaker 1: was a guy that we depended on for two endings
Speaker 1: right around two under endings every single season. And he
Speaker 1: was just one of those guys where he was a
Speaker 1: good compliment to players like this who will give you
Speaker 1: the stuff on a per start, per enning basis, Guys
Speaker 1: like must Grove and Nevaldi and Edward of Rodriguez. But
Speaker 1: he was a good compliment because, all right, maybe he
Speaker 1: didn't give you a strikeout perraining, but he would give
Speaker 1: you a solid strike out rate. He wouldn't give you
Speaker 1: a whip that would kill you. He was a you know,
Speaker 1: three six, three seven e r a guy. It all
Speaker 1: kind of imploded last year for Katana, his first full
Speaker 1: season with the Cubs. But I I read something from
Speaker 1: the Athletic actually that said he changed where he was
Speaker 1: standing on the rubber, Greg, and over his final twelve
Speaker 1: starts he had a three point six strikeout rate and
Speaker 1: basically looked like the Jose Kontana that were used to
Speaker 1: I'm hoping he builds off of, you know, that adjustment
Speaker 1: he made towards the end of the season last year.
Speaker 1: He was going this year. Remember last year he was
Speaker 1: being drafted as the top twenty starting pitcher. Greg. Now
Speaker 1: you're getting him. You know, I like it absolutely your
Speaker 1: thirty five and forty. You can ask you. By the way,
Speaker 1: I had a great tweet last night that you know
Speaker 1: the Cubs pictures one through five, all their starters. You
Speaker 1: can you can make an argument that any one of
Speaker 1: the five can slot in in any number spot. Lester's
Speaker 1: storting opening day, but is like he really number one?
Speaker 1: Or is Hamils or Cantana or somebody else or you're
Speaker 1: you Darvish right, like they're all there's no ace on
Speaker 1: that team. But there's also no picture that it's like
Speaker 1: a normal SP four or SP five on another. So so,
Speaker 1: by the way, I got I want to tell you
Speaker 1: this the next hour. Actually i'll say it for next time.
Speaker 1: Let's say it for next now. It's funny, okay, uh
Speaker 1: continue all around fourteen here, Oh you gotta love this one. Goat.
Speaker 1: So you guys go up and you drive Chris Paddock,
Speaker 1: and first share of Paddock you mine too, So you
Speaker 1: got and drift. Chris Pack was lazarre gone yet he was.
Speaker 1: He actually went in the thirteenth round and as soon
Speaker 1: as I saw him going, I said, oh, there's no
Speaker 1: way we're getting Paddy. It's funny normally, once you see
Speaker 1: one of them go the other one. It's funny because
Speaker 1: in my league, as soon as I saw I'm spoiler,
Speaker 1: A drafted Lazardo. So Paddock went in the middle of
Speaker 1: the the he went. He went in the fourteen round,
Speaker 1: mid the fourteenth round. So I took him with the
Speaker 1: first pick off in the fourteenth round of team Yes
Speaker 1: keep Keeper league though so not not not di similar,
Speaker 1: not the similar. Um, So you go up and get Paddock,
Speaker 1: which I was excited about. It was one of the
Speaker 1: places I really like because it was fun. I had
Speaker 1: no shares of him at this point. Six all right,
Speaker 1: we got Kntano, Monscrow, Luis Castillo, Barrios, Wheeler, and then
Speaker 1: you get Paddick. It's actually quite surprised, is kind of
Speaker 1: rounding out nice. I'm actually quite surprised the Paddock glass
Speaker 1: this long because um, you had uh Lazarogo right in
Speaker 1: the middle of the thirteenth round and round the half. Normally,
Speaker 1: once one of them goes, the other one goes and said, oh,
Speaker 1: there's no wayward getting and he did no surprise the
Speaker 1: way because I had the numbers right here. That was
Speaker 1: the quickest pick that Toff made five seconds, five seconds
Speaker 1: him to click. The next pick was even quicker. The
Speaker 1: next pick was my man, Shane Green. Ye favorite. Four seconds,
Speaker 1: four second on Shane Green. Spoiler, spoiler on my other league.
Speaker 1: Everyone's like, oh my god, there's no closers, no closers
Speaker 1: round and pick Shane Green. Why do we always own
Speaker 1: Shane Green? I don't know. It sucks so bad I
Speaker 1: until he gets traded, if I get traded. Um round sixteen,
Speaker 1: you guys picked up he because your first catcher Beef Castile.
Speaker 1: Was there any point earlier in the draft you considered
Speaker 1: picking a catcher that's trauma? But in round sixteen it's
Speaker 1: get a value for casting? Sure? Who are the what
Speaker 1: are the catchers? Young guns? Went right after that? Marvaas
Speaker 1: who I do like? Well, you know, I like Williams Studio.
Speaker 1: Actually I have had Castio ranks higher than when after
Speaker 1: him Robinson Sharenos went in the fourteen willing to get
Speaker 1: you in the sixteen. So here's the pick. I don't get.
Speaker 1: I don't think they're dissimilar. I don't Andy Simmons, where
Speaker 1: we doing? So we needed a short stop. I'm looking
Speaker 1: down at the board here and this was this was
Speaker 1: a Greg special too, because it was between him and seven.
Speaker 1: I know you hated Simeon, so I was trying to
Speaker 1: help you out a little bit here, Greg and I
Speaker 1: thought we needed a little bit of a dash of
Speaker 1: batting average. I'm not saying that and is gonna hit
Speaker 1: three thirty, but he hit to ninety last year. See
Speaker 1: projection systems that have him for between two ninety and
Speaker 1: three hundred. He's gonna give you, you know, twelve home runs,
Speaker 1: twelve stolen bases. He's just steady. Eddie looked obviously, I
Speaker 1: want a better short stop than andrews tim There's no
Speaker 1: doubt about it. In a fifteen team league, you're not
Speaker 1: gonna love every player that you have at every single
Speaker 1: So last year, Andrew Simmons's two uh. The year before
Speaker 1: that he had two seventy eight. Year before that he
Speaker 1: hit two eighty one, so he's been between two seventy
Speaker 1: eight and two ninety two. We wanted someone who helps
Speaker 1: the batting average, and a lot of those middle infielers
Speaker 1: at that point they give you between twelve and fifteen
Speaker 1: home runs, twelve and fifteen stolen bases. So that's what
Speaker 1: we were looking at with Simmons. We wanted to grab
Speaker 1: a short stop. I figured you liked him more than
Speaker 1: I do like him more in Mark Simeon, but I
Speaker 1: don't know that. I just don't think I would have
Speaker 1: seen either. I think I would have gotten the guy. Um. Again, admittedly, guys,
Speaker 1: I like, I want a guy like Jesse Winker stands
Speaker 1: out as some way that went in this round that
Speaker 1: I like. I was thinking about Winker two because again
Speaker 1: we needed the batting average right so, and he would
Speaker 1: have been our Outfieler five, which Winker has your outfield five.
Speaker 1: That's fine, absolutely no issue there, um, But I think
Speaker 1: we were looking at the short stops starting to dwindle.
Speaker 1: We're all the same one hour. Yeah, But I just
Speaker 1: at that point if you were really mad at us
Speaker 1: because we had Luis a team like I can't. I
Speaker 1: can't end up with Simon on his team. Greg's I
Speaker 1: can see Frank Basse timing Mike. It's just being like
Speaker 1: already hates his team, which I was like, why do
Speaker 1: we have to do Simeons him too? I feel like
Speaker 1: that's how they got Pa and in round eighteen for
Speaker 1: Share as well said Fernando was great. Yea, I thought
Speaker 1: that we were going to be light at shortstop. We
Speaker 1: didn't have a middle infielder at this point, so we
Speaker 1: knew that we were gonna be uh light at shortstop
Speaker 1: in middle endfield, so we wanted to take an upside
Speaker 1: shot here, take Fernando Tatis. Later on, we ended up
Speaker 1: grabbing someone who fill in at the middle infielder. I
Speaker 1: think we ended up with Adam Frasier we spoke about
Speaker 1: yesterday on the program. He's fine, going to lead off
Speaker 1: of the for the Pittsburgh Pirates could give you. You know,
Speaker 1: a lot of these middle infielders are you know, home
Speaker 1: runs maybe ten stolen basis from Adam Fraser. He's gonna
Speaker 1: lead off. He makes a lot of contact, so he's
Speaker 1: gonna fill in until Fernando Tatis is up. And a
Speaker 1: lot of what I said about Tatis greg has been
Speaker 1: I think it's similar to Labor Tourists from last year.
Speaker 1: The Yankees were ready to compete. You didn't know when
Speaker 1: Labor Touris is gonna be up. He was getting drafted
Speaker 1: in the middle rounds um we knew what the upside
Speaker 1: could be. I don't think it's that far off from
Speaker 1: Fernando Tatis. You know, I know Machado has come out
Speaker 1: and said that he wants Tatis to break camp. Now
Speaker 1: that's not gonna happen. But and I don't even know
Speaker 1: if we see him in April. But but it surprised
Speaker 1: you if we see him as early as May, it
Speaker 1: wouldn't surprised me because I think I think the Potteries
Speaker 1: want to make some noises here. Greg at think might
Speaker 1: break camp with the team. So I understand they want control,
Speaker 1: but I think they also I think they want to
Speaker 1: make they want to make some noises here. And if
Speaker 1: you bring up Tatis and you have padded matt Strom,
Speaker 1: who everyone's hyping up, and you obviously you have Machado signing,
Speaker 1: and they still could trade for one of these Indians
Speaker 1: starting pitchers too, So it wouldn't surprise me if Tatis
Speaker 1: is up in May. Labor Torres was up much earlier
Speaker 1: than expected last year and he had an awesome season.
Speaker 1: Now I could see something similar to that from Tatis
Speaker 1: jumping around it. Now, admittedly I'm not I am not
Speaker 1: an Alex Wood. It was weird. I didn't want anything
Speaker 1: to do it. Did you, guys um think you had
Speaker 1: good value of Zach Efflen? Know what? My A chance
Speaker 1: You're like all right, whatever. Honestly, we had like eight
Speaker 1: starting pitchers in the Kique at that point, I couldn't
Speaker 1: really differentiate any of them because I similar you took
Speaker 1: him instantly, and the only reason I had no I
Speaker 1: do so I took so I took. I took Efflyn
Speaker 1: in my other draft last night, I took him like
Speaker 1: much earlier than this, despite it being not a fifteen
Speaker 1: team league. I took a much earlier, And like, I
Speaker 1: feel like I screwed up because you guys got him
Speaker 1: here in this league. Now, I don't. I don't think
Speaker 1: people are particular or really that excited. And based on
Speaker 1: what we said yesterday about e Flynn, he got the
Speaker 1: stuff you have you jump last year, so we'll see
Speaker 1: if if he can carry some of that over to
Speaker 1: this season. And all right, we can say a break
Speaker 1: when we come back. I feel like you feel a
Speaker 1: little bit better, a little bit better headaches, subsiding. We
Speaker 1: break down my my other team now other draft. We'll
Speaker 1: do it next to venture m
