Speaker 2: Now I'm feeling it. It's great to be here, Joe.
Speaker 2: It's been too long. I'm so glad to speak baseball
Speaker 2: with you again. In fact, I think the last time
Speaker 2: we did it, we were doing an outfielder preview in
Speaker 2: twenty twenty two, and you may or may not have
Speaker 2: said Ilo Jimenez would be good. I never had what
Speaker 2: ever happened?
Speaker 1: I'm sure not the only person that thought that in
Speaker 1: twenty twenty two. I can tell you things. We're going
Speaker 1: in the right direction there. Unfortunately, not see you.
Speaker 3: What twenty twenty four, I still talk.
Speaker 1: I'm playing for a contract, Welsh. You're not playing for
Speaker 1: a contract. But we're coming fresh off of our incredible
Speaker 1: Fantasy Fest, which if you haven't seen it already, go
Speaker 1: to the YouTube channel. It's in a playlist right now.
Speaker 1: All the segments there half hour each with some of
Speaker 1: the best minds, PI and Howski was on there. Stanful
Speaker 1: was on there. We had Chris Towers on there, we
Speaker 1: had who else we ino, sarahs was on there, Steve Gardner, Welsh.
Speaker 1: I thought that that was just four incredible hours of
Speaker 1: talking fantasy baseball, and I think that all of our
Speaker 1: guests were just unbelievable. I think everybody needs to go
Speaker 1: run to the YouTube channel to watch all those in
Speaker 1: smaller forms. If they didn't get to watch a lot.
Speaker 3: We actually have it. It's really great YouTube dot com
Speaker 3: slash Fantasy Pros MLB. Lots of people are watching us live.

Speaker 3: then you know we've got it.
Speaker 2: Done.
Speaker 3: Easy up for you.
Speaker 1: Speaking of us too, Wonky Penguin. Kelly Kirby was on
Speaker 1: the draft in the last hour, and they've given you
Speaker 1: a crap about your but and shirt. I mean, god, dude,
Speaker 1: she's saying. Welsh looks like he's going to a mixer
Speaker 1: later today. Are you do you have a mixer later
Speaker 1: this afternoon.
Speaker 3: I will be on CBS Fantasy Baseball today later and
Speaker 3: I'm doing some more podcasts. No, I can't make anybody
Speaker 3: happy here. I wear the hats.
Speaker 1: Literally.
Speaker 3: During Fantasy Fast we had someone welch, where's the where's
Speaker 3: the do? Where's it going back? I'm trying to dress nice,
Speaker 3: trying to do a little shirt. I think this is
Speaker 3: a big deal. I put the hair out, and now
Speaker 3: everybody thinks I'm going out for a date later.
Speaker 1: I'm not. I don't know here. You take the wife
Speaker 1: out somewhere nice, that'd be nice. Govier just dropped his
Speaker 1: wife off in Canada and then drove home for the draft.
Speaker 1: True story, folks, True story. He said it as though
Speaker 1: he was dropping her off at the grocery store. Dropping
Speaker 1: her off that's a happy marrow at her mother's house
Speaker 1: or something like. I'll be right there. I just got
Speaker 1: to drop my wife off in Canada. These are things
Speaker 1: you say when you're in Michigan. By the way, JD,
Speaker 1: I see you. That's right. I did say, yeah, like
Speaker 1: La Knight and if you like the wrestling stuff, you
Speaker 1: know I got the wrestling show too. But today we've
Speaker 1: got a draft and it's serious stuff. Twelve team Rodo style,
Speaker 1: five by five old school. We just did the head
Speaker 1: to head last week, so we're going back to old
Speaker 1: school here, so we're gonna kick things off. Now. Go Via.
Speaker 1: You took this second spot here, which again the board
Speaker 1: was open. You could have had anywhere. You said, let
Speaker 1: somebody else have a Cunya. You did that. So year
Speaker 1: or two. Jurors is at the one spot. Mookie Betts
Speaker 1: Legacy Team is at three. Jam Considine is at four,
Speaker 1: Portland Pickles at five. I took the six spot, so
Speaker 1: I went from one to twelve. Now I'm at six today,
Speaker 1: delve is at seven, DJs at eight, Mannik is at nine.
Speaker 1: Mister Buster, a friend of the show, one of our
Speaker 1: favorite folks at leading off is at ten, Nate Miller
Speaker 1: at eleven, and Welsh You took the twelve spot. So
Speaker 1: Govia Why did you give up the number one spot
Speaker 1: when you could add everything? You could have had a Counya.
Speaker 1: You could have had it all I.
Speaker 2: Could have had, could have been a contender. Look, I
Speaker 2: just wanted to have the challenge of deciding on the
Speaker 2: two pick. There's been a lot of debate during the
Speaker 2: preseason here about who should be number two after Acunya.
Speaker 2: You know, I'm not even gonna make some argument about
Speaker 2: Harry Well. Maybe it shouldn't be a Counya. Let's just
Speaker 2: skip all that and let's figure out should be Julio Rodriguez,
Speaker 2: Should it be Bobby Witch? Should it be Mookie Betts,
Speaker 2: a short stop eligible superstar on the greatest team that
Speaker 2: the Lord himself ever assembled?
Speaker 1: You're up? What are you doing? So make your pick?
Speaker 1: You only got a couple of seconds left there. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna pause it because I think you might not have
Speaker 1: realized that we started there.
Speaker 2: So yeah, I think I got caught up with the Yeah,
Speaker 2: look at.
Speaker 1: What you have taken Bobby Witt Junior. I guess that's
Speaker 1: the question because it looks like I couldn't pause it
Speaker 1: in times. Gobe is like, I don't care, I'm going right.
Speaker 3: I wish you would have taken Mookie Betts in front
Speaker 3: of Mookiy Betts legacy team. That's really the only way
Speaker 3: to do this draft is take the player that's in
Speaker 3: someone's name. But that's okay, Bobby Wait is the correct
Speaker 3: number two pick.
Speaker 1: I have a problem with the Bobby Wit selection either.
Speaker 1: Lots of stolen bases, lots of everything. There By the way,
Speaker 1: this is why I love doing the live shows here
Speaker 1: with you guys, because r J and the Chad says,
Speaker 1: Welsh looks like he's going door to door asking if
Speaker 1: you've heard the good word? Have you?
Speaker 3: I'm I'm if you're spreading the good word of O'Neil Cruz.
Speaker 3: Have you heard of Onil?
Speaker 2: I heard It's like that in the league where the
Speaker 2: Ruxton joins that cult for a while to get fantasy
Speaker 2: internal wonderful.
Speaker 1: All sorts of pamphlets going on here, all right, So
Speaker 1: I am up here at six, Kyle Tucker on the board.
Speaker 1: Certainly good place to start. I feel good about that.
Speaker 1: In terms of the way the rosters are structured today,
Speaker 1: just to review for everybody, one catcher, first, second, third,
Speaker 1: short we're doing corner and middle infielders, we're doing one, two, three,
Speaker 1: four active outfielders in a util, so I'm gonna go
Speaker 1: with the outfielder Hurst of Tucker. We have nine open
Speaker 1: pitcher spots and we're only doing four bench spots because
Speaker 1: we're live today with the people hanging out. So just
Speaker 1: to recap the first round so far, Acunya one, Bobby
Speaker 1: Witt Junior, Mookie Betts, Julio Rodriguez, Corbyn Carroll, and Kyle Tucker.
Speaker 1: So I'm taking a page out of Klegg's book from
Speaker 1: the other day where we had him on last week
Speaker 1: on Friday with him and Joel Rico. If you missed
Speaker 1: that draft show, go watch that one. But in that
Speaker 1: middle of six you're guaranteed to get a stud player again.
Speaker 1: So just went next here, DJ just took Freddy Freeman.
Speaker 1: So Welsh, what's your ideal turn here? And remember we
Speaker 1: are live, so people were drafting with us, might be
Speaker 1: watching and stealing your picks.
Speaker 3: Yeah, my deal turn is not looking at the chat
Speaker 3: everybody is just killing me. Hore by the way, said
Speaker 3: why you dress so fine today? Man? I need to
Speaker 3: dress up a little bit more. So it's not a
Speaker 3: big deal. So my idea, well, can I stall a
Speaker 3: little bit because Nate Miller's right in front of me.
Speaker 3: I mean, ideally we're to be get like Otani and Judge.
Speaker 3: That would make me jump, you know, jump, jump, jump
Speaker 3: and rip off the shirt like whole Coogan. Oh but
Speaker 3: I don't think it's gonna happen. I love Stryder even
Speaker 3: in this spot, as he just went to mister Buster.
Speaker 3: So Otani and Judge they're the top players on the board, though,
Speaker 3: so I think I'm gonna get one of them, and
Speaker 3: oh my god, I'm I get both of them. Good
Speaker 3: things are happening today, folks. Trey Turner goes eleven, eleventh overall,
Speaker 3: so getting Judge at Otani is an ideal situation. I
Speaker 3: don't care about the DH only I moved Otani up.
Speaker 3: I think my number eight overall player, seven overall player,
Speaker 3: Judge with the big power, even though he did not
Speaker 3: get into some actual practice today, It's okay. I am
Speaker 3: going to slap all of that homer and all of
Speaker 3: that speed potential on Otani. So I'm very happy about that,
Speaker 3: all right, So.
Speaker 1: Why Judge there? Govie? What do you think about Welsh
Speaker 1: a star here?
Speaker 2: I don't get the Judge part. I love the Otani part.
Speaker 2: In fact, I'm not kidding. I would have considered taking
Speaker 2: Otani too. I am not kidding. I think he's gonna
Speaker 2: be incredible this year as a hitter. But the Judge
Speaker 2: toe chronic problem old man time. I'm worried. Big body
Speaker 2: freaks me out.
Speaker 3: I like forty five to fifty homers. I'm pretty good
Speaker 3: with that. They've already said that he's going to be
Speaker 3: good for opening Day, regardless of how they're babying him
Speaker 3: in stupid spring. Here the toe is something to consider.
Speaker 3: But here's this cool thing. It's called the DH and
Speaker 3: John Carlos Stanton lost a bunch of weight. Looks like
Speaker 3: they could throw him back out in the outfield if
Speaker 3: they need to, baby Judge, they can put him out
Speaker 3: of the DH. I'm taking some injury risk. I'm take
Speaker 3: a little risk with Otani, but I don't care. I
Speaker 3: want a leap power. I want it early. I'll find
Speaker 3: my stolen bases late. I will take the discount and
Speaker 3: judge all day, including today.
Speaker 2: But sorry, Jordan is very powerful as well.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I like the thirty five homers, but
Speaker 3: I don't think there is any less injury risk with
Speaker 3: Jordan Alvarez over Aaron Judge, you're gonna tell me that
Speaker 3: Jordan Alvarez is a better safer pick than Aaron Judge,
Speaker 3: I'm gonna lol, because they are both injury risks. So
Speaker 3: if I'm gonna take the power, I'm gonna take the
Speaker 3: guy who can hit the most homers in baseball. The
Speaker 3: argument really would have been Matt Olsen. By the way,
Speaker 3: if I if you want to make the big argument
Speaker 3: of power, go to Matt Olsen at first base. Get
Speaker 3: the elite stats there that I actually was kind of considering.
Speaker 3: But I'm not scared. I'm not gonna be scart, not scarred.
Speaker 1: All right, I'm gonna go ahead make my pick right now,
Speaker 1: and then we'll recap the rest of it. Also, it
Speaker 1: is season long rod this draft, So I think with Judge,
Speaker 1: even if he ends up playing one hundred and twenty
Speaker 1: five hundred and thirty games, I think you still take
Speaker 1: the productivity there as opposed to the last draft we did,
Speaker 1: which is head to head, and it head to head,
Speaker 1: I'm where Govier is, which is like I'm not if
Speaker 1: I've got the whole board to myself there pretty much
Speaker 1: the turn Judge is still one of those pieces in
Speaker 1: the back of my head. Still a little scary. I'm
Speaker 1: with you.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you lose the playoffs. That stinks in heads, I.
Speaker 1: Agree there, Harper, Olsen, Ramirez, Alvarez, all those guys. But
Speaker 1: speaking of those guys, that's how they went there. Nate
Speaker 1: Miller took Jose Ramirez at the two oh two, then
Speaker 1: Matt Olsen at two o three, Bryce Harper two four, uh,
Speaker 1: Jordan Alvarez at two oh five, and then two o
Speaker 1: six Austin Riley. I took Ozzie Albi's because everybody knows
Speaker 1: I love Albi's second basement. I've got my more stolen
Speaker 1: bases there too. Second base falls off quite a bit.
Speaker 1: Plus we've got the middle infield spots to deal with
Speaker 1: later Rafield Devers at two to eight, Simeon at two nine.
Speaker 1: I kept debating Simeon or Albi's Welsh. Where do you
Speaker 1: have those two in your rankings? Do you have Ozsi
Speaker 1: Albi's over Simeon?
Speaker 3: I have the that's a good question. I think I've
Speaker 3: got Albi's one D spot above. I love Devers though
Speaker 3: the divers, I love him. I think he's super underrated,
Speaker 3: even though the guy's thirty five hundred hundred with a
Speaker 3: high batting average. But we all knew you were taking
Speaker 3: Ozzie Alby's that is your guy. Like of this year,
Speaker 3: Ozzy Albi's and Alex Bregman need to be on all
Speaker 3: of your teams.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Wow, I'm sure Joe Pisap is going to like
Speaker 1: my draft.
Speaker 3: But I will say I think here's here's my only
Speaker 3: caveat to Devers though. I think it is easier to
Speaker 3: get great second basement later in like Bryson Stott to
Speaker 3: tell Marte, than it is to get great third basement letter.
Speaker 3: So if you want to think it about the position eligibility,
Speaker 3: I would be paying attention just a tiny bit more
Speaker 3: to Deavors.
Speaker 1: Well. See, I like that depth of third base too.
Speaker 1: When you start to get to the Royce, Lewis Bregman grouping,
Speaker 1: I'm more apt to roll with those guys as well. Now,
Speaker 1: somebody in the chat I see also, because we've been
Speaker 1: talking wrestling here wants me. I think it's John Shimmick
Speaker 1: wants me to make a pick in macho man voice,
Speaker 1: So I will make the next one in macho man
Speaker 1: Randy Savage voice. Let's take a quick break in the

Speaker 1: have picks to recap here, so let's go through them.
Speaker 1: After Devers and Simeon, Vlad Guerrero to ten Ellie de
Speaker 1: la Cruz, Francisco Lindor goes to go Vier. I'm sorry,
Speaker 1: no one more spot before go Vier. Lindor Alonso, then
Speaker 1: back to go Vier at three oh two. So Govier,
Speaker 1: you selected Ellie de la Cruz and Michael Harris at
Speaker 1: the end of the second, beginning of the third at
Speaker 1: three oh two, you got Harris. How do you feel
Speaker 1: about wit Ellie Michael Harris in.
Speaker 3: The beginning of that bill all the stolen bases.
Speaker 2: Yeah, in the world of stolen bases, one man, Yeah,
Speaker 2: I had to get Ellie to me, Ellie de la Cruz.
Speaker 2: I'm not worried about the k Ray. He's going to
Speaker 2: get better. He's not going to strike out thirty two,
Speaker 2: three or three percent forever. And he's gonna steal arguably
Speaker 2: one hundred bases. I'm dead serious about that. And Michael Harris.
Speaker 2: I'm taking him over Luis Robert because I like the
Speaker 2: batting average better and I think there's more power for
Speaker 2: Michael Harris to come this season. Louis Roberts struck out
Speaker 2: one hundred and seventy two times last year. Michael Harris
Speaker 2: only struck out about one hundred. I'm taking Harris over Robert.
Speaker 1: All right, Looking at the rest of the board here,
Speaker 1: I am now up, which means I'm gonna go back
Speaker 1: to the drift Wizard. Yeah, we're gonna go back. We're
Speaker 1: gonna look at Gunner Henderson. Yeah, he qualifies at third base,
Speaker 1: and its short stup. In a drift Wizard, the recommendations
Speaker 1: always rise to the top. That's right, can you dig it?
Speaker 1: It's cool. I'm gonna snip in at Gunner Henderson right here,
Speaker 1: take him right here. So Gunner Henderson at three zh six.
Speaker 1: That's my selection to recap picture in betweens. Louis Castillo,
Speaker 1: Luis Robert, Louis Corbyn Burns. Sorry, I just got into
Speaker 1: a groove there, just regular Corbyn Burns. So the second
Speaker 1: pitcher off the board, so so far wels just Strider,
Speaker 1: Corbyn Burns three point oh five. So I took Gunner Henderson,
Speaker 1: so I've got Albi's, I've got Henderson, I've got Tucker.
Speaker 1: That's the beginning of my build. Delvick selected Zach Wheeler.
Speaker 1: So three pitchers, I'm sorry, four pitchers in three rounds.
Speaker 1: Castillo did go in this round as well. So Welsh
Speaker 1: does that feel about right to in terms of like
Speaker 1: the amount of pictures that are now going off the
Speaker 1: board since the Garrett Cole news.
Speaker 3: I'm actually a little surprised because this was like the
Speaker 3: Battle of all right, are people scared because of the
Speaker 3: injuries or now there's one less ace off the board
Speaker 3: so we have to make sure we get them. I'm
Speaker 3: actually a little surprised we didn't have many more pitchers go.
Speaker 3: And I'm patiently waiting for Nate Miller, who's about to pick,
Speaker 3: because then I'm up and oh man, he took one
Speaker 3: of them. Pablo Lopez was one of those that was
Speaker 3: sitting out there. But Kevin Gossman. People are still a
Speaker 3: little bit scared about the little bit scared about the
Speaker 3: Kevin Gossman back injury. Oh dig it, I'm gonna go
Speaker 3: and double tap pitching here. I'm not gonna be scurred.
Speaker 3: I'm not gonna play skirt here. I mean, I don't
Speaker 3: like necessarily taking a lot of these guys right as
Speaker 3: the uh well, we know it's George kir and it
Speaker 3: is exactly right, it's Kevin Gosman and George Kirby's without
Speaker 3: setting up back to back pictures these two, I couldn't
Speaker 3: be more excited. I would have taken Pablo and Kirby.
Speaker 3: I didn't realize Gospwein was there. So I've got my
Speaker 3: two huge power bats. I've got my two huge aces.
Speaker 3: One is a big strikeout option. One is the whip King,
Speaker 3: who I think can be a top guy. We're in
Speaker 3: the cycle of Welsh liking his draft. We're about three
Speaker 3: rounds away from me starting to talk crap and hate it.
Speaker 1: So all right, Well that actually didn't happen last time.
Speaker 1: On Friday, I got gated, awfully, I think, and you
Speaker 1: you were eleventh out of tenth, out of.
Speaker 3: Twelve, eleven out of twelve, Thanks Joe. Sorry, Well you know,
Speaker 3: oh all right, I'm the winner. Look at me. I'm joking, Nikis.
Speaker 1: I learned about Eddie concerned about Kevin Gossman right now
Speaker 1: in terms of injury. I mean, it's hard to pass
Speaker 1: up the I know you're going to take Kirby no
Speaker 1: matter what, but Gossman still feels like a little bit
Speaker 1: of a risk. Is it the right amount of risk
Speaker 1: here at that moment for you?
Speaker 3: If it were, I mean, I think it's still the
Speaker 3: back stuff. If it were Ury Perez based arm issues,
Speaker 3: I would be exponentially more worried. But I will say this,
Speaker 3: let me throw on top with this pitching stuff. We
Speaker 3: lost Garrett Cole Uri Perez looks like he's gone. We
Speaker 3: still don't know. Blake Snell looks a little worrisome. There's
Speaker 3: more guys in the top twenty that are coming off
Speaker 3: of the board. That's lessening the group. So I'm prioritizing
Speaker 3: a little bit. If you're going to give me deals
Speaker 3: on top end pictures, I'm gonna take him. I'm taking
Speaker 3: on a little bit adherent risk. I guess of the
Speaker 3: injury with Gosman isn't the type of injury that like
Speaker 3: terrifies me. So I am gonna grab a hold of
Speaker 3: two aces while a lot like we have twelve teams
Speaker 3: not everybody's gonna be able to get two top twenty pictures.
Speaker 1: I just did all right.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 1: John, by the way, Uh Shimmick was very happy with
Speaker 1: my Randy Savage. He said, nailed the Randy Savage mannerisms properly.
Speaker 1: Thank you, John.
Speaker 3: I appreciate it now and load though, Yeah, you kept
Speaker 3: it really kind of like do you.
Speaker 1: Want to like snick? John? I wanted to keep it
Speaker 1: really low key when we're doing the drift, it's live. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you gotta you gotta keep it inter repts.
Speaker 3: It's always had a oh who is the oh, oh
Speaker 3: the comedian I just forgot his name. Oh, uh Sam
Speaker 3: Sam Kennison here.
Speaker 1: Oh, I was gonna say that Dan Soder Is that
Speaker 1: his name? That the comedian who doesn't amazing macha man.
Speaker 3: Randy always had a little Sam Kennison in him where
Speaker 3: he'd be, you know, like like laying it in or
Speaker 3: quiet and then oh like that. That was kind of
Speaker 3: Randy to me.
Speaker 1: Is coming up speed here. So we've got after Kirby,
Speaker 1: Zach Gallan, Randy Rose, Arena, Yamamoto, Logan Webb, Adolis Garcia.
Speaker 1: Then I took Tyler Glass now again, it was the
Speaker 1: recommendation guy, but it's also the guy that I want
Speaker 1: to take. There, the upsides there, the strikeouts there. He
Speaker 1: could end up a top five pitcher when all is
Speaker 1: said and done. He's just got a somehow. For the
Speaker 1: love of God, one time across one hundred and sixty innings,
Speaker 1: please c J. Abrams and Royce Lewis who I almost took,
Speaker 1: but I decided to go pitcher. So it was a
Speaker 1: Constantine there took that pick. Mookie Betts selected Tariq Scooble Govier,
Speaker 1: you took a catcher, Adlie Rutchman, you're up again. I'll
Speaker 1: let you make your other pick here while I keep recapping.
Speaker 1: At the turn, Framber Valdez goes to durs and then
Speaker 1: Aaron Nola, so they doubled up on starters. Go Vier,
Speaker 1: what are you gonna do with this pick? Twenty seven
Speaker 1: seconds on the clock.
Speaker 2: I got sniped on trek schoolball is one pick away.
Speaker 2: It would have been my dream to have him as
Speaker 2: by number one, not being a homer either. It's not
Speaker 2: just because I'm the Go Tigers guy. I love him
Speaker 2: this year with Chris Fedder the pitching coach, he knows
Speaker 2: what he's doing, So for me now, I'm looking at
Speaker 2: pitching and I'm like, oh boy, I really put myself
Speaker 2: in a spot here. So I'm gonna take a closer
Speaker 2: that could trust Camillo Daval.
Speaker 1: There you go. Okay, So Camilla Daval off the board? Here?
Speaker 1: Was that the first closer? I believe it was. It
Speaker 1: may be I'm looking correctly at the board, it was, Well,
Speaker 1: how do you feel about that? Is that the right
Speaker 1: answer for first closer off the board? Or is it
Speaker 1: a hater or a Diaz? It was Camillo d'vall instead
Speaker 1: of Hater or Diaz or las.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I have said that. I think Davall
Speaker 3: is in the grouping like he's the inn. See that's
Speaker 3: not my pick. Hater is my pick here or Edwin Diaz.
Speaker 3: But Daval is in that tier of like if I
Speaker 3: don't get him, then it's like, well, I'm gonna wait
Speaker 3: a little while, because I mean, Daval was at the
Speaker 3: tippy top of saves last year. If especially if they
Speaker 3: do make a Snell signing, you have pictures that are
Speaker 3: gonna get to that bullpen. The division's a little bit
Speaker 3: tougher to get save opportunities. But Deval has no questions whatsoever.
Speaker 3: But I'm not taking I wouldn't consider Deval even remotely
Speaker 3: close before Edwin Diaz or Josh Hater, but I would.
Speaker 3: I mean, now that we've lost Devin Williams, I could
Speaker 3: see easily see taking him over class, And looks like
Speaker 3: we are going to lose Johann Duran for a little
Speaker 3: bit as he's going to start the season on the IL.
Speaker 3: So this is another one of those situations. We lost
Speaker 3: all these starting pitchers. Now the top end closers people
Speaker 3: are gonna have a little bit of an advantage if
Speaker 3: you take them early, which isn't really happening. Daval is
Speaker 3: the only closer that's gone off the board, which is
Speaker 3: kind of crazy.
Speaker 1: Well, this is obviously our crew staying very disciplined, taking
Speaker 1: hitting early. These are our leading off people. These are
Speaker 1: our fantasy pros MLB people, that's for sure. As we
Speaker 1: continue on there after Deval, Alex Bregman, Welsh, Mookie Bett's
Speaker 1: legacy took him right out from under me, So that's
Speaker 1: very sad. Friend, Vierralta, one of my other favorites, goes
Speaker 1: to content Ie. Then Portland Pickles took Mike Trout, so
Speaker 1: I didn't have to make that decision. Although I would
Speaker 1: have had to think long and hard about it in
Speaker 1: the fifth round, like I would have to really look
Speaker 1: at the board and say, do I want to do
Speaker 1: this now? I ended up taking Nolan Jones. I almost
Speaker 1: look Bellinger and get going back and forth. I decided
Speaker 1: at the end of the day to take Nolan Jones,
Speaker 1: give me Colorado, give me the younger player, give me
Speaker 1: the player that I again, I know we disagree there
Speaker 1: on Nolan Jones. But what I love here about what
Speaker 1: I've done with Gunner Henderson and Nolan Jones is now
Speaker 1: the draft can come to me. I can slide Gunner
Speaker 1: Henderson from third to short, I can slide Nolan Jones
Speaker 1: from first to the outfield. I can let the best
Speaker 1: player on the board come to me. And I think
Speaker 1: that's something that's very underrated when you're drafting. If you're
Speaker 1: between two players and they're very close, that position flexibility
Speaker 1: allows you to maneuver the draft towards your favor. So
Speaker 1: it's something that I always like to do. And there's
Speaker 1: a few players you can do that with in these
Speaker 1: middle rounds. Here and the early going Max Fried goes next,
Speaker 1: then here we go closer time. Josh hater, Edwin Diaz,
Speaker 1: then Manny Machado, Christian Yelwich, the Welsh. You're up for
Speaker 1: two picks with twenty seconds left.
Speaker 3: All right, we are going to not be too focused
Speaker 3: on stolen bases. We are going to take what I
Speaker 3: think is a great steal here in Paul Goldschmidt. And
Speaker 3: then I ask you, fine, gentlemen, have you.
Speaker 4: Heard the word oh, oh, there we go. I love
Speaker 4: o'neel Cruz because we will take O'Neill Cruz to make
Speaker 4: sure that we have It's sorry poppy riding here, but
Speaker 4: if you heard the good word, Cruise is the other pick.
Speaker 1: I don't take solicitation during a draft, but whatever, I'll
Speaker 1: allow it this time. Goal shooting Cruise certainly two good
Speaker 1: spots there. Cru is going to help you with your
Speaker 1: stolen bases as well. Nate Miller is next on deck.
Speaker 1: And obviously, as you're watching today or you're probably listening,
Speaker 1: you have to remember we're using Draft Wizard to do
Speaker 1: the draft. And if you want to dominate your Fantasy
Speaker 1: Baseball drafts, you have to use Draft Wizard. It's the
Speaker 1: most comprehensive suite of tools. It's going to change the
Speaker 1: game for you. You can import rankings, you can use custom
Speaker 1: cheat sheets. You can use cheat sheets based on our
Speaker 1: rankings here on Fantasy Pros Welsh's mind a combination hybrid
Speaker 1: of yours along with us. It doesn't matter. Anybody's got
Speaker 1: the ranks up on Pros, you can select them for
Speaker 1: your cheat sheets. You can perfect your draft strategy too.
Speaker 1: You can use the draft simulator run a gazillion mock
Speaker 1: drafts in just a few minutes. It's amazing how fast
Speaker 1: you can go through these things. You can backpicks out,
Speaker 1: continue to craft your strategy. It's just incredible. If you
Speaker 1: haven't tried it, just sink your league, use it and
Speaker 1: continue to use a draft analyzer for all of your
Speaker 1: drafts so you can draft with the SYNC on as well,
Speaker 1: which is huge. That is something we love as well.
Speaker 1: So I have to pause because I'm in the middle
Speaker 1: of read here. I hope I didn't get auto picked.
Speaker 1: I did, which is sad and frustrating. Oh and something
Speaker 1: I would never do woild is take a closer on
Speaker 1: top of that.
Speaker 3: So I want to remind people too. Something I said
Speaker 3: in a video and we said in a previous show
Speaker 3: is if let's say we're not gonna shame you. But
Speaker 3: you've done no prep and you maybe only watch a
Speaker 3: couple videos and your draft is literally about to start.
Speaker 3: You have an hour in front of you. You could
Speaker 3: knock out four to five mock drafts and it's like
Speaker 3: us holding your hand during the draft with draft picks.
Speaker 3: So even without prep, the Draft Wizard is the way
Speaker 3: to go. So single well, we'll see if.
Speaker 1: Draft Wizard is right at the end of the day.
Speaker 1: And I understand there's a closer run.
Speaker 3: I had him on my shows.
Speaker 1: I'm not a closer guy.
Speaker 2: All hell Draft Wizard Well.
Speaker 1: Fantasybros dot Com slash draft Wizard. You can turn your
Speaker 1: draft day stress into draft day success and again, just
Speaker 1: download the app or go to fancerports dot com slash
Speaker 1: draft Wizard. I trust draft Wizard. Draft Wizard knows what's
Speaker 1: going on. We're gonna continue to resume the draft here.
Speaker 1: I wish I could back out the picks in these drafts,
Speaker 1: but I can't. I can only do that in the simulations.
Speaker 1: That would be nice if I was still picking, if
Speaker 1: I wasn't trying to be a good host and do
Speaker 1: reads for the company, I would be looking at Bobby
Speaker 1: Miller here that's probably where I would have gone to
Speaker 1: get my second starting pitcher. So a little frustrated. Everybody
Speaker 1: knows I'm very high on those guys. Grayson Rodriguez still
Speaker 1: on the board too, very frustrated, Welsh. I'm gonna try
Speaker 1: to bury my sorrows, but again, I'm gonna need closers.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna need saves to back things up here. Just
Speaker 1: would have waited a little bit longer, But again that's
Speaker 1: on me. I should have made sure that I set
Speaker 1: it to that setting.
Speaker 2: But don't beat yourself up, Joe, I want I want to.
Speaker 1: Beat myself up. Go via a couple picks. Looking to you,
Speaker 1: so far, you've got to catcher outfield, You've got a shortstop,
Speaker 1: third basement, and a closer. Where are you going first?
Speaker 1: You're gonna try to take your first starting pitcher here?
Speaker 3: Well?
Speaker 2: Is it that obvious?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 2: It probably is. I wanted Scoogle, so then I complained
Speaker 2: and maybe I sabitized myself by taking Goval Dovall. Why
Speaker 2: why did I do that? I'm stupid, But I'm also
Speaker 2: a guy who learning to make mistakes and grow from them.
Speaker 2: So knowing that, I feel great about Logan Gilbert being
Speaker 2: on the board, I'm going to take Logan Gilbert over
Speaker 2: Grayson Rodriguez over Zach Eflin without a doubt over Blakes
Speaker 2: now for sure, because Logan Gilbert is about to take
Speaker 2: it to another level this year. I'm expecting a little
Speaker 2: bit better ratios to go along with the case, and
Speaker 2: he could arguably be a number one top twelve starring
Speaker 2: picture my end of season, no doubt.
Speaker 1: All Right, Govier, we've heard a lot of noise from
Speaker 1: Welsh about his dislike of Logan Gilbert's I just don't like.
Speaker 3: The halpit alone and I don't dislike Melan.
Speaker 1: Jones positive news. So give me some positive bent on
Speaker 1: why it's Logan Gilbert for you as I recap these
Speaker 1: picks in between after class A. Bobby Miller, of course,
Speaker 1: Pickles knew exactly stuck me right with the knife in
Speaker 1: the back, Brian Reynolds, Jordan Mont and you took Gilbert
Speaker 1: Cole Reagan's goes next to Durs. So go Vier, talk
Speaker 1: about Gilbert, and I know this next pick's coming up
Speaker 1: for you too, and talk about what you're gonna do
Speaker 1: with this next one.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Gilbert's the guys. I'm on the clock now. I
Speaker 2: don't have any shares of and I'm I'd rather if
Speaker 2: I had Schooble all day. But I'm settling for Gilbert away.
Speaker 2: But I don't feel it's a terrible, terrible drop off.
Speaker 2: I still like both the parks. They pitch in advantage
Speaker 2: to the al Central for being a worse league, easier
Speaker 2: for schoobl Aos a little bit tougher. And then on
Speaker 2: this pick, I love getting flexibility. But I'm gonna go
Speaker 2: my second picture. Who I like it. That's Joe Ryan. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I'm taking Joe Ryan, who I prefer over some of
Speaker 2: those other dudes.
Speaker 1: All right, Joe Ryan certainly another one of my favorites,
Speaker 1: So it seems like a good pick to me. So
Speaker 1: Gilbert and Ryan for you, you're building that rotation. I'm up
Speaker 1: into three picks here.
Speaker 3: And I have to wait so long. I was just
Speaker 3: sitting here. I'm like, why am I not kicking? But
Speaker 3: it's so long. This is what I don't like about
Speaker 3: on the wheel. The wheel, it's so great, I get
Speaker 3: to make my decisions. We got to the end of
Speaker 3: the round and I was like, ooh, I'm up. No,
Speaker 3: I'm not. I have to wait in higher another round.
Speaker 3: I'm so impatient.
Speaker 1: Are you new to how drafting works?
Speaker 3: Yes, I wanted Cole Reagans and he went and it's just.
Speaker 1: Oh well, but we talked about this last time. Well,
Speaker 1: she's probably a good time to bring it up again.
Speaker 1: Is I mentioned when I was at the wheel last
Speaker 1: time how the anticipation of what the run is going
Speaker 1: to be is crucial?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Uh, do you feel like you're not doing a good
Speaker 1: job of that?
Speaker 3: No? No, I love the picks. I think I'm getting
Speaker 3: good values. I'm putting together what I want. Goldschmidt was
Speaker 3: a deal O'Neil Cruz I have so much higher than
Speaker 3: I even took him. But I know his ADP's round six.
Speaker 3: I'm good with it. It's just difficult, like you're saying,
Speaker 3: the anticipation of watching all the You're like, could this
Speaker 3: work for me? Could this fall to me? No, it doesn't.
Speaker 3: Cole Reagan's goes, Labor Torres goes. Of course, you take
Speaker 3: Justin Steele never can have Seal. It will be a
Speaker 3: miracle if the is this the last draft? I can't
Speaker 3: have Justin Steel anywhere? It's really heartbreaking.
Speaker 1: Wait is this the last draft? They thought? That can't
Speaker 1: be true? Week John I don't know now I'm thinking
Speaker 1: about it might be the last one. Might have to
Speaker 1: look that up there, that's very set. I think it
Speaker 1: is the last one looks at. And in honor of
Speaker 1: you being the closer, you were the first guy to
Speaker 1: really take a closer. So you see that, Govier, see
Speaker 1: what you did, so bea It's.
Speaker 2: All coming together. It's a circle.
Speaker 1: Let delvec by the way, take Xander Bogart's right after me.
Speaker 1: The guy was debating back and forth, so I am
Speaker 1: getting screwed. I hate drafting in the middle, so I'm
Speaker 1: happy to be at the turn where Welsh is.
Speaker 3: You lost your voice there a little bit, and you're
Speaker 3: like I.
Speaker 1: So much I do. I hate it. I hate being
Speaker 1: in the middle because you are a subject to getting
Speaker 1: burned on the right side, getting burned on the left side.
Speaker 1: I don't like it at all. And the fact that
Speaker 1: I made a pick and then Bobby Miller went after,
Speaker 1: and then I made another pick and Xander Bogarts went after,
Speaker 1: I just hate it. So now I've become the Welsh.
Speaker 1: I hate my draft in the middle. Jesus Lizardo goes
Speaker 1: Joe Musgrove goes Blake snellghoes all the other pictures. I
Speaker 1: was contemplating, Nate Miller takes real Muto Welsh, you're up
Speaker 1: for two picks. Finally, oh god, finally the draft has
Speaker 1: come back to the Welsh.
Speaker 3: Well, I don't like any of these players, so that's
Speaker 3: the fortunate part of what's happened. So what I'm gonna do.
Speaker 3: Because I don't love the third base, I am going
Speaker 3: to lock up Nolan Aernado, so I've got the Cardinals
Speaker 3: corner endfield and then someone who should be pushing up
Speaker 3: a little bit more. Because I love the trade and
Speaker 3: I think this is kind of a deal, I'm going
Speaker 3: to jump in on the Dylan Ceas bandwagon. I love
Speaker 3: the ballpark factor with San Diego. I like the new
Speaker 3: offensive support. I'm gonna get big strikeouts. We just got
Speaker 3: to make sure he doesn't absolutely fall apart and he's
Speaker 3: not going to be the ace on this team. So
Speaker 3: Dylan Cees right around these this eighty marker. I moved
Speaker 3: him up a tiny bit higher in my ranks, which
Speaker 3: are live over on Fantasy Pros. You guys can use
Speaker 3: him the cheat cheater. Check hi out fantasycros dot com,
Speaker 3: slash MLB rankings. I got seased a little bit higher
Speaker 3: than this, but he has not adjusted from ADP on
Speaker 3: the trade. So I think this is a good spot
Speaker 3: for my sp three.
Speaker 1: Okay, so looking around the rest of the board here,
Speaker 1: as we keep coming back through, I'm up in a
Speaker 1: few picks. We have Dylan c then Rice Iglacias, Kyllege
Speaker 1: s Warber, Wilson, Controll's Christian Walker two picks to me,
Speaker 1: I'm on tilt a little bit. I gotta say, I'm
Speaker 1: not happy with the way things are going. I've gone
Speaker 1: complete Welsh here, just in the middle here, I think
Speaker 1: I know which way I want to go. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: take some steady guys here.
Speaker 3: You're gonna love it soon. Then if you're if you're
Speaker 3: on my trajectory, you're gonna hate it now and you're
Speaker 3: gonna love it by round like thirteen.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna hate it now, but yeah, you're like that,
Speaker 1: like the worst salesman ever. You're gonna love it. And
Speaker 1: it's just like two or three years. I'm still here.
Speaker 3: I'm saying, push through this. I'm I'm your therapist. Push
Speaker 3: through this. We're gonna get there. You're gonna love it
Speaker 3: here soon. I don't know if the the great at
Speaker 3: the end is going to but you know what, soung
Speaker 3: As you're happy Joe with you, that's all that matters.
Speaker 1: And that's that's true.
Speaker 3: If you're in fantasy baseball when it is important, if
Speaker 3: we like.
Speaker 1: It or I'm gonna lean in Welsh, I'm gonna lean
Speaker 1: into it. I'm gonna take Munyos take another closer here
Speaker 1: because they're flying fast and Furio that's unfortunate. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: lean in to what's going on, especially with more closer.
Speaker 1: News is pictures continue to drop like flies here in
Speaker 1: spring training. It's just, uh, this is why you should
Speaker 1: always draft as late as you possibly can. My homely
Speaker 1: draft is tomorrow night. This is that last week of
Speaker 1: spring training where you know, you really kind of you know,
Speaker 1: people start to peter off a little bit, start to
Speaker 1: take a little bit of a break, but you know,
Speaker 1: we've got certainly a few days left. Hopefully it just
Speaker 1: gets to the draft healthy. That's what we're trying to
Speaker 1: do here. So go vier you're up in a couple picks,
Speaker 1: Let's try to get in the recap here. So after
Speaker 1: I took Muns another closer off the board, So this
Speaker 1: is a group we're drafted with today, Welsh, it seems
Speaker 1: very close or happy? Does this feel like a good
Speaker 1: off the board?
Speaker 3: This is where the wheel is going to hurt me.
Speaker 3: I can already feel it now.
Speaker 1: Well, you do not have a closer yet. So what
Speaker 1: is your plan now that you did not anticipate as
Speaker 1: you should have earlier.
Speaker 3: Well, it's I'm I'm going to be digging in the garbage.
Speaker 3: Apparently I'm going to be Oscar the Grouch. That's gonna
Speaker 3: end up happening because Evan Phillips was my plan and
Speaker 3: now that is gone, and I'm anticipating probably three or
Speaker 3: four more closers, so I'm going to have to probably
Speaker 3: do a lot more speculation. There's still a few, but
Speaker 3: Evan Phillips, that was kind of that next tier target,
Speaker 3: you know, put him in the Best Draft Markets video.
Speaker 2: So it's it keeps sniping me. I hate it.
Speaker 1: GOVI got sniped again and with a player that I
Speaker 1: was going to take to So Castillanos goes off. That's
Speaker 1: the one I almost took. I decided and said to
Speaker 1: lean into the relief pitchers again because I got another
Speaker 1: guy that I do like. So you pivoted them to Torkosen.
Speaker 1: A pretty good pivot there. I mean a guy who
Speaker 1: hit thirty bombs last year. Torkosen so far in the
Speaker 1: projections again, thirty eighty seven eighty two. That seems pretty
Speaker 1: good there a batting average hovering probably around two forty.
Speaker 1: How do you feel about that Torkosen selection?
Speaker 2: Well, Mookie best legacy team is killing me. He's killing me.
Speaker 2: I wanted Castianos for his batting average. Now I took
Speaker 2: a guy with more power. Where can I get batting average?
Speaker 2: Or should I take a picture here? As I'm back
Speaker 2: on the clock, and I gotta say, uh, I don't
Speaker 2: love all the pitching here this moment. I don't want
Speaker 2: to take another closer either. I feel like I get
Speaker 2: some more value there later. This is one of those times, gentlemen,
Speaker 2: where I just have to trust my gut and believe
Speaker 2: in the process, and I'm going to take ice on Kim.
Speaker 2: Multiple positional eligibility.
Speaker 1: I like that.
Speaker 2: I like variety and flexibility.
Speaker 1: There you go the varieties there, Kim is now there
Speaker 1: by the way, Sea Wald and Whitet Langford, go Wyatt Langford.
Speaker 1: In case you're keeping score at home, I just did
Speaker 1: a short about this. He is leading spring training in
Speaker 1: ops RBI slugging, He's tied for second in home runs,
Speaker 1: he is tied for third and batting average and hits Welsh.
Speaker 3: Wouldn it be awesome if they send him down to
Speaker 3: I think I give the best all of that and
Speaker 3: they're like, well, he's really got to work on the
Speaker 3: way the ball gets out of the glove when he
Speaker 3: throws it from the otherfield.
Speaker 1: What does he have to really work on. I mean,
Speaker 1: that's just that's ridiculous.
Speaker 3: I'm just saying it would be hilarious.
Speaker 1: Enough with the slander. That's what I'm enough with the slander.
Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying. It's it's crazy. Just put the
Speaker 1: guy there, let him play, and if they do send
Speaker 1: him down, I mean that would be just absurd.
Speaker 3: I mean, well it yeah, no, he I mean he anywhere?
Speaker 1: Oh now I got sniped here in this off the board.
Speaker 3: One interesting thing real quick with the Langford stuff is
Speaker 3: word came out Kobe Mayo with the orioles, is a
Speaker 3: guy that's absolutely been dominating. But it came out that
Speaker 3: you know, what was the likelihood of him making the
Speaker 3: roster and the team. I think it was the team
Speaker 3: officials said, not very likely if Holiday makes the roster.
Speaker 3: And that's so interesting of the multi rookie thing, because
Speaker 3: that was one of the arguments with the Rangers is
Speaker 3: they've already got Evan Carter, who's gonna fie for that,
Speaker 3: you know, rookie of the Year thing for the extra pick.
Speaker 3: Maybe they don't need Press Langford. It's just weird that
Speaker 3: teams are going from, yeah, we'll put one guy, but
Speaker 3: even if this other guy is the best player, we
Speaker 3: still might not put him on the team. And that's
Speaker 3: what's going on with the Orioles.
Speaker 2: It is. It's a mess. It's a total mess. Also
Speaker 2: a good question real quick in the chat for JJ russo,
Speaker 2: should I wait to do our draft after the Korea
Speaker 2: opening Day or do it now now?
Speaker 3: I say, wait, yeah, I don't. I don't think this.
Speaker 3: I think this series doesn't it doesn't matter enough. I mean,
Speaker 3: it does take two games away from the Dodgers and
Speaker 3: the Padres, So I guess you could look at that
Speaker 3: from a hole. But I Bogman and I were doing
Speaker 3: our home league like the night. I think we're doing
Speaker 3: it Wednesday night and Thursday is opening day, so we're waiting.
Speaker 2: I love it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I look, the later you can wait, the better
Speaker 1: it is. I understand the little trick because you're talking
Speaker 1: about games actually hounting and starting, so that I can
Speaker 1: certainly understand. But so far, here again this has been
Speaker 1: a you know, this is what happens. Our listeners are
Speaker 1: so smart. They'll be doing such a good job watching
Speaker 1: all the shows, listen to all the shows, using all
Speaker 1: the tools and draft ways and stuff like that. They're
Speaker 1: given us a hard time today, which is good. I
Speaker 1: can't wait to see who wins this draft. After Kim goes,
Speaker 1: Marte gos Lane, Thomas goes. Both guys out of my
Speaker 1: que Michael King, of course, was in MI queue. I
Speaker 1: hate and I mentioned I hate drafting sex. I hate
Speaker 1: drafting in the middle. Well, you don't like the middle,
Speaker 1: you don't like No, I don't like to be the
Speaker 1: meat in the sandwich here Michael King goes. And then
Speaker 1: I took Saya Suzuki because I want to get an
Speaker 1: outfielder as outfielder's gat game. Pick a little rough there, Michael,
Speaker 1: Why do you like Suzuki this year? Let's talk about
Speaker 1: because I have zero share so far. This is the
Speaker 1: first time I think i've taken Suzuki.
Speaker 2: I love it because he took his game up a notch.
Speaker 2: He figured some stuff out last year, reduced the case
Speaker 2: a bit more, got on base little bit more, show
Speaker 2: a little bit more power, and now as he comes
Speaker 2: into his own here I kept in my home league.
Speaker 2: That's a fourteen team head to head cats. I love
Speaker 2: Saya Suzuki because his profile gives you a really safe floor, right.
Speaker 1: I agree, by the way, say Flora, and that's what
Speaker 1: I was looking for there, because the upside of Lane
Speaker 1: Thomas was gone, and Michael King, had he made it
Speaker 1: to me, I would have selected Michael King. Everybody knows
Speaker 1: that for sure, all right, So DELVEK goes and takes Young,
Speaker 1: then Tanner by b Garrett Cole goes at nine to nine,
Speaker 1: still too early for my taste, Wilson, Contreras, Josh Lowe,
Speaker 1: and then Wels. Your two picks are up.
Speaker 3: I just took Evan Carter and Pete Fairbanks. I will
Speaker 3: tell you I did not want to take the closer.
Speaker 3: I felt compelled because there's only one or two arms
Speaker 3: that I really like. I have such a long wait.
Speaker 3: Pete Fairbanks is in that Evan Phillips group. So I
Speaker 3: didn't want to say his name. Earlier, I only had
Speaker 3: one outfielder, and I took Evan Carter. I kind of
Speaker 3: wanted to take two, to be honest with you, but
Speaker 3: I got to sacrifice something, and I'm sacrificing the balance. Overall.
Speaker 3: I've got one closer, three starting pitchers, two outfielders. I
Speaker 3: got a decent amount of infield and I'm hoping a
Speaker 3: few things fall my way, but I'm gonna have to
Speaker 3: wait two hours a million picks between nine.
Speaker 1: Alright, So after you took Carter and Fairbanks, Yondi Diaz,
Speaker 1: David Bednar, Tommy Edmund Andres Amanez, Chris Bassett, and then
Speaker 1: I took Chris Sale. Eurie Perez was ranked higher. But again,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna roll the dice on the old man here
Speaker 1: at getting right in Atlanta and giving me one good
Speaker 1: year on that Atlanta Braves team. The strikeout rate was
Speaker 1: still strong there last year for Sale. A lot of
Speaker 1: weird injuries. To me, Sale can make or break this
Speaker 1: Braves team, because when your third starter isn't right, that's
Speaker 1: the difference. You know, you're expecting your one and two
Speaker 1: guys to always deliver. Put you in spots to win
Speaker 1: four and five is always gonna be questionable. It's the
Speaker 1: guy who's in that third spot in your rotation in
Speaker 1: Major League Baseball. And when you're looking at let's say,
Speaker 1: win totals for teams, to me, that's the deal breaker
Speaker 1: when I'm looking at overs and unders, is what does
Speaker 1: a third starter look like on that team? And Sale,
Speaker 1: if he is right, is a huge win for this
Speaker 1: Braves team. If he's another guy's gonna give you a
Speaker 1: hundred innings, it's gonna be a huge problem for the
Speaker 1: Atlanta Braves. So I took Sale here over Perez because
Speaker 1: again I'm worried that Perez can give me one hundred
Speaker 1: and twenty innings one hundred and thirty innings. So Sale
Speaker 1: to me, I'm gonna take my shot on the guy
Speaker 1: who pitches for the Braves. And so the guy pitches
Speaker 1: on the Marlins Portland pickos takes Jordan Walker again, another
Speaker 1: guy out of my queue, Spencer Steer, Merril Kelly, Josh
Speaker 1: Naylor also out of my cue. Love this pick go Via.
Speaker 1: I know you're on the clock, so we'll get to
Speaker 1: your second one and the second ti Oscar nandez Zach
Speaker 1: Geloff also out of my cue. My goodness, this group
Speaker 1: is fiery today. Durs is crushing. It is a problem.
Speaker 1: He needs to not only is there's a problem. Look
Speaker 1: at this rotation Framber or Nola Reagan's He's got Cassus Wyatt, Langford, Alonzo, Lindora,
Speaker 1: Kunya Durs. If you lose this draft is on you, bro.
Speaker 3: Like Oscar Gelloff is what I wanted to do.
Speaker 1: By the way, Geloff is another guy having a great spring. Welsh,
Speaker 1: what are you taking out of that?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I'm there's a lot of strikeouts, though
Speaker 3: I was. I was actually just looking at him the
Speaker 3: other day. The strikeouts are I think thirty six percent
Speaker 3: in spring, which you I mean the spring stats in general.
Speaker 3: Like I've been sitting around being like, hey, Jared Kelnick
Speaker 3: is great. He's the worst spring training player of all time.
Speaker 3: And everyone is like, oh, there we go, he's garbage.
Speaker 3: It's like, okay, well we're picking that apart. Then we
Speaker 3: also can't be super positive about the guys that are
Speaker 3: doing great coming back down like I would like. The
Speaker 3: only thing I would have liked from Geloff is to
Speaker 3: see the strikeout rate lower. I don't care about the
Speaker 3: batting average I don't care about the power, I don't
Speaker 3: care about the speed. I just want to see the
Speaker 3: strikeout rate lower. And it's like thirty six percent right now,
Speaker 3: so that's a little worrisome. But he's a twenty twenty guy,
Speaker 3: and I was about to take him.
Speaker 1: All right. I'm gonna go ahead and take the what
Speaker 1: I imagine is probably the top lift here guy right
Speaker 1: now and continue to pound the outfield because outfield is rough.
Speaker 1: And I'm gonna take George Springer again a steal. I
Speaker 1: got not one, not two, but three clap mojis from
Speaker 1: Draft Wizards, So Draft Wizard we're speaking terms again. Things
Speaker 1: are going very well for us. So after I want
Speaker 1: to talk about govi A's picks here two Josh Naylor,
Speaker 1: Clay Holmes. You took another closer here, so you've got
Speaker 1: two closers. You got Josh Nayler. Nayler to me, it's
Speaker 1: one of the great values on the board, had a
Speaker 1: terrific season last year. Again, needs to play more than
Speaker 1: one hundred and twenty games, but if he does, this
Speaker 1: could be a huge win for you. At ten to eleven.
Speaker 2: Michael, Oh wow, we are definitely sympetico right there. My friend. Also,
Speaker 2: two re just came by this. This is the last
Speaker 2: time I said anything. Uh, every time you hear Evan Carter,
Speaker 2: somebody wants to get Carter. It is that terrible movie
Speaker 2: with Sylvester Sloan Calleme.
Speaker 3: I bought that movie. I owned that.
Speaker 1: Isn't that like if? People if it was like all
Speaker 1: the leftover remnants of like Payback with Mel Gibson.
Speaker 3: I think it was like, yeah, it was like the
Speaker 3: it was in the Revenge film things and it was like,
Speaker 3: you know, Mobby, I owned that movie.
Speaker 2: It was a remake. Michael Kaine was in the original
Speaker 2: I think like in the seventies or something.
Speaker 1: So yeah, well, Mark Okain and I'll play a gangst
Speaker 1: in this movie. That's all. I'll play a gangst and
Speaker 1: I'll draft fantasy baseball teams. That's why I.
Speaker 2: Run plus. Also, I love Josh Naylor too, Just to
Speaker 2: be on the record real quick, He's gonna be a
Speaker 2: great batting average floor for you. I didn't get Cassi.
Speaker 2: I took Naylor. I'm actually happy with that. It works
Speaker 2: out quite well.
Speaker 1: Yeah, look, that's a hell of a pivot. I think
Speaker 1: things worked out pretty well there for you, and we're
Speaker 1: probably the only fantasy podcast at least today that's going
Speaker 1: to have a macho man invitation and Michael Caine invitation.
Speaker 1: Mean's fun to do. I think everybody has a Michael Kaine. Yeah,
Speaker 1: everyone has that. Everyone has that version of walkle Kay
Speaker 1: and have you ever seen the Trip Jeff Wiz. It's
Speaker 1: had to help you make your picks, make such as
Speaker 1: small picks like so I'm not stupid, So you get
Speaker 1: all your picks in there, one thing right there, and
Speaker 1: make your cheat sheets say you're prepared. Not what that
Speaker 1: idiot Joe pisip. All right, So Clay Holmes, then Dansby, Swanson,
Speaker 1: Christian and carnasci O and Strand Bailey ober I took Springer.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 1: Then you have Jackson Curio, Anthony Santander, Ian Hat Bryce
Speaker 1: and Scott Marcelo's doon at eleven eleven, then Riley Green
Speaker 1: to the Welsh and Tanner Scott So Welsh, do you
Speaker 1: feel like you should have just continued to wait a
Speaker 1: little bit more on closers or do you feel like
Speaker 1: you got your forced hand here? I feel like your
Speaker 1: hand was forced That's what I'm feeling right these lock
Speaker 1: couple bits.
Speaker 3: Not necessarily I am. We are delving into the not
Speaker 3: liking this draft portion that I'm the worst person of
Speaker 3: all time and I should rethink what I do. Like
Speaker 3: we're kind of in that realm because I just took
Speaker 3: Tanner Scott and Riley Green and I keep getting sniped.
Speaker 3: I wanted Bryson Stott so bad. So we're on the
Speaker 3: downturn of my negative and we'll come back up with
Speaker 3: some picks. But no, the closer thing I actually really
Speaker 3: don't feel is a problem. A little bit worried about
Speaker 3: starting pitching and stolen bases. I'm trying to make sure
Speaker 3: I can compete in stolen bases. Just I had a
Speaker 3: very like concrete way I wanted to think of this team.
Speaker 3: And then when you start deviating off of certain players
Speaker 3: or you know, like bad batting average, and it kind
Speaker 3: of throws you off. That's why, by the way, I
Speaker 3: passed up a stolen base option with a bad batting
Speaker 3: average for one of my favorite breakouts this year in
Speaker 3: Riley Green. You know, hard hit numbers were through the roof.
Speaker 3: XBA works in his favor. Expected batting average. I think
Speaker 3: he's an eight twenty plus homer is still ten going
Speaker 3: to be in the middle of the lineup. So I've
Speaker 3: got three incredibly great outfielders, but I'm feeling a little
Speaker 3: bit of the pressure.
Speaker 1: Well, I think you're going to be annoyed with the
Speaker 1: way this round is going when you're talking about looking
Speaker 1: for more stolen bases, because after you took ten Or Scott,
Speaker 1: Charlie Morton goes, Uri Perezo, Sonny Grey goes, then you
Speaker 1: Stirry Ruiz twelve oh five, Vinnie pas Quentino my people
Speaker 1: at twelve oh six, and I took Anthony.
Speaker 3: Who I was gonna take. When I took Riley Green,
Speaker 3: I was gonna take Riley Green and Volpy, and I
Speaker 3: decided to pass on Volpi to get the second closer.
Speaker 3: So maybe you're right. Maybe the the not having the
Speaker 3: elite closer made me take two middle guys and I
Speaker 3: just lost those stolen bases.
Speaker 1: I don't feel like that's you know, I know Michael's up,
Speaker 1: so I'm let to make his picks. But Welsh, I
Speaker 1: feel like that's the thing, is like, if you miss
Speaker 1: the run, just throw darts later, because I feel like
Speaker 1: you're trying to mess around with those middle guys. Not
Speaker 1: only is their job security sometimes tenuous, but on top
Speaker 1: of which you're also worried about missing out on, Like
Speaker 1: I said, the volpies of the world, Pas Guentino, right,
Speaker 1: some of these players, so Jackson Curio, some of these
Speaker 1: more exciting younger players that you might have had an
Speaker 1: opportunity to take. Do you feel like that's a better
Speaker 1: practice if like, if you if you miss the beginning closer,
Speaker 1: run just wait to the very end of it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean that is the way to go. I'm
Speaker 3: a again like the closing market I think is getting
Speaker 3: a little bit funky. We are getting a few more
Speaker 3: answers though, and like the Rangers announcing like it looks
Speaker 3: like jose Leclerk is gonna be the guy. But those
Speaker 3: back end closers, it seems like there's gonna be more
Speaker 3: rotational fireman spots. Pat Murphy said it with the Brewers.
Speaker 3: Instead of naming Pamps the closer, they just said, well,
Speaker 3: you know, he foresees leverage situations, and you might see
Speaker 3: a lot more leverage situations at the back end. So
Speaker 3: I feel a lot less comfortable with them, all right,
Speaker 3: I have a good.
Speaker 2: Pamps a lot by the way, yea, Amps, I'm just
Speaker 2: doing that now. I've been doing it for the last
Speaker 2: two weeks, Pamps.
Speaker 1: I have a bad feeling my rotation is gonna look
Speaker 1: very old very soon. And I'm just like the board
Speaker 1: and what's out there. I'm like, this might be a
Speaker 1: rotation for twenty seventeen. It might be like we'll see, uh,
Speaker 1: let's continue on here. At the Pigs ATHROI took Volpi,
Speaker 1: then Luis Arise, Ryan Helsley, Cedric Mullens, Alec Boum Degovier
Speaker 1: than Durors at the turn at twelve twelve Azela and
Speaker 1: Shane Bieber another guy that I was thinking about taking
Speaker 1: here when he came back. And then Jorge Solaire. So
Speaker 1: you got a corner guy here. You got an outfielder
Speaker 1: in so Lair, and he concerns about Solair moving to
Speaker 1: this ballpark in San fran.
Speaker 2: This is just absurd. I mean, the guy at cranks
Speaker 2: dongs in Kansas City, not exactly a home run paradise,
Speaker 2: and then he does it in Miami again, not a
Speaker 2: place where it's a home run free for all. So
Speaker 2: this guy can hit his power plays everywhere. So any
Speaker 2: talk this season about that narrative. But oh boys, good
Speaker 2: to San Francisco and end up be able to hit
Speaker 2: thirty home runs. The only thing that's gonna prevent him
Speaker 2: from hitting thirty home runs is injuries. That's his biggest bugaboo. Otherwise,
Speaker 2: I'm very confident of so Laire is a good floor
Speaker 2: for power.
Speaker 1: All right, Welsh will continue to look through here. Pickles
Speaker 1: is up, and then I'm gonna be next on the board. Yeah,
Speaker 1: some tough decisions are gonna have to be made here
Speaker 1: on this starting pitcher board. I can tell you right
Speaker 1: now because we are in that spot here where you
Speaker 1: gotta grab the right guy at the right time. Could
Speaker 1: be Verlander, could be Hunter, Brown, could be you, Darvish,
Speaker 1: all of which are around there for me. Potentially Darvis
Speaker 1: just made his Cactus debut. Slave to do that. So's
Speaker 1: that's pretty good. We're moving in the right direction there.
Speaker 1: It seems like I'm gonna go ahead and take a
Speaker 1: shot on Verlander. I er took a shot on Sale.
Speaker 1: I'm in for a penny, I'm in for a pound.
Speaker 1: Might as well just keep going down this road and
Speaker 1: either my hole, this team's gonna be first or last.
Speaker 1: I can tell you right now. But the way things
Speaker 1: are so.
Speaker 3: Ricky, Bobby too, I was gonna go Verlander.
Speaker 1: So you know what, Verlander is a fourth starter. I
Speaker 1: can live with that, Welsh. Do you think that's where
Speaker 1: you want to live with him this year?
Speaker 3: I wanted him as my friend. I wanted to Tay Yeah. No, absolutely.
Speaker 3: I think it mitigates the risk a little bit, and
Speaker 3: I think there's a lot more upside. When Verlander's your
Speaker 3: SP three you're kind of a little bit dicey. That's
Speaker 3: why I think like when you get into SP four territory,
Speaker 3: you can take more risk. Like Hunter Green, I think
Speaker 3: just literally just went like you can stomach those type
Speaker 3: of players where they could you know, maybe if they
Speaker 3: blow up a little bit. But it dress P four
Speaker 3: like if you've got three guys in front to carry
Speaker 3: your rotation, I'm willing to take those shots. And that's
Speaker 3: what I was going to do. And now I'm up,
Speaker 3: so you can.
Speaker 1: Talk, all right, I will talk now. So Jorge Soilira
Speaker 1: goes to go Vie and then Burrios at thirteen oh three,
Speaker 1: Estrada kimberl I took Verlander, ken Lee Jansen at thirteen
Speaker 1: oh seven Diaz another catcher off the board here, Yoshida
Speaker 1: Hunter Green, Sames Outman, Welsh is up for two picks there,
Speaker 1: so let's see what he's going to do. My guess
Speaker 1: is there's gonna be one starting picture at least in
Speaker 1: this is That's what I'm thinking, go Via, you agree,
Speaker 1: I think that's where he's going here another starting.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, everybody knows Wells loves a good starter. I
Speaker 2: mean he does, That's what he's known for.
Speaker 1: I'm just happy that the phrase cranking dongs made the
Speaker 1: show today. Well that's why you have them one. So
Speaker 1: chat McCormick and you Darvish, who I was contemplating. So,
Speaker 1: would you have taken Verlander over Darvish?
Speaker 3: Wells, that's my question? Yeah, I would have taken ver
Speaker 3: Verlander was my pick, I think. I mean, like Darvish
Speaker 3: has been a little bit more explosive, like blowing up.
Speaker 3: Verlander's stuff, for the most part, is still there. It's
Speaker 3: been injuries that are holding him back. Darvish wasn't. Darvish
Speaker 3: had a complete fall apart and injuries that are tied
Speaker 3: to it. So I think Verlander is just a much
Speaker 3: safer bet and maybe even a safer bet for wins.
Speaker 3: And I just don't feel like his stuff is as
Speaker 3: is as scary, right, now Darvish is a little bit
Speaker 3: of a risk. You're probably not going to do anything
Speaker 3: for the projections or anything like that. But again, what
Speaker 3: I just say, like SP four, I can take some risks.
Speaker 3: If Darvish does find himself again, then this is gonna
Speaker 3: be an absolute steal, and it does. Ario Cohen is
Speaker 3: a value zone, yeah, and Ario Cohen said he you know,
Speaker 3: he might be one of the big massive values according
Speaker 3: to ATC as well in later drafts.
Speaker 2: So I'm fine zone value zone, baby you. Darvas has
Speaker 2: entered the value zone.
Speaker 3: And I took Chas McCormick for stolen bases because I'm
Speaker 3: lagging and that is my fourth outfielder though, so I've
Speaker 3: already filled that spot out, but I was lagging in
Speaker 3: stolen bases, so hoping that helps me a tiny bit.
Speaker 1: All right. Alvarado goes after than Sean Murphy, Jake Berger,
Speaker 1: another guy was gonna take it fourteen oh four, but
Speaker 1: I couldn't. Nolan Gorman, Brian Who and then I am
Speaker 1: up next. Got a lot of different ways I can
Speaker 1: go here. I'm not taking Max Months even I love you,
Speaker 1: Draft Wizard.
Speaker 3: That's my that's my rank talking to you. Joe.
Speaker 1: It is, but I'm instead gonna pivot. I'm gonna take
Speaker 1: Rehyese Hoskins here instead. I think that's a better overall pick.
Speaker 1: And what I can do now again, this is the
Speaker 1: flexibility that I had earlier I talked about. You know,
Speaker 1: he can go to I can play Nolan Jones at first,
Speaker 1: I can move Jones to the outfield. I can just
Speaker 1: continue to see what makes it back to me. So
Speaker 1: this is where those early picks can pay off for
Speaker 1: you as the board gets a little thin here as
Speaker 1: we continue on. We were in the fourteenth round, so
Speaker 1: that pick was fourteen oh seven. Gobia, what are you
Speaker 1: looking to do here? You've still got am I seeing
Speaker 1: this correctly? Just two starting pitchers here, That.
Speaker 2: Is correct, Joe. You are perceptive and that's why you
Speaker 2: are in the position of power that you are in.
Speaker 2: Nice work, Nice work. I'll say this, I'm not gonna
Speaker 2: tell you what to do because Mookie Betts is on
Speaker 2: the clock and then he'll snipe me. So I'm gonna
Speaker 2: keep it hush hush, but you're about to see exactly
Speaker 2: what I'm gonna do. Also, Reese Hoskins is kind of
Speaker 2: just being ignored, like, oh, remember that guy miss a
Speaker 2: thirty home run bat here, so that's a good play,
Speaker 2: even if this is rodo with average. I know Hoskins
Speaker 2: is an OBP preferably, but the power plays everywhere.
Speaker 3: Cool.
Speaker 1: Give me Hits two forty five, two fifty like, that's great,
Speaker 1: I'll take that. I'll take that. With twenty eight homers
Speaker 1: and then eighty eighty, I think that's well within eyegrass,
Speaker 1: especially if he.
Speaker 3: Was at the top of my queue too, at the
Speaker 3: top of my Q for a corner and field spot.
Speaker 3: I think he's in for a big bounce back thirty Again,
Speaker 3: getting thirty home runs post one fifty should be something
Speaker 3: you pay attention to those players that have legit, legit
Speaker 3: shots at thirty homers, he is at the tippy top
Speaker 3: of the list of a thirty home run bat post
Speaker 3: one fifties, so I think it's a great pick.
Speaker 1: Sal Perez, Mitch kell Er, Brandon Nimo, then Govier takes
Speaker 1: a starter color, Carlos Rodin, Jared Durant at fourteen twelve,
Speaker 1: then Ezekiel Tovar. Durs is definitely using the Joey P.
Speaker 1: Welsh chie cheat. I feel Brutal Durs is crushing it
Speaker 1: right now. And then Hunter Brown another pitcher that was
Speaker 1: on my list. So Rodan and Brown dot the firm
Speaker 1: fourth starters. There you go, Now you got four just
Speaker 1: like that. The wormers turn Govier. Give me your low
Speaker 1: down on these two guys, Rodan and Hunter Brown.
Speaker 2: Hunter Brown's ratios are gonna come down. He's got the keys,
Speaker 2: he can miss bats. Also, he's a local boy Michigan,
Speaker 2: which is cool. And Carlos Rodon is a It's a
Speaker 2: risk because he could get hurt tomorrow, but he could
Speaker 2: also strike out two hundred and fifty hitters this year.
Speaker 2: So I feel really good about getting these guys in
Speaker 2: the one sixties. I'm cool with that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it certainly works, makes a lot of sense. There.
Speaker 1: There is one guy I think I'm going to go
Speaker 1: out and I'm going to reach for and I think
Speaker 1: his projections are just way too low around Who is.
Speaker 3: Who it is?
Speaker 1: What do you think it is?
Speaker 3: Edward Julian It's not yet, but I love Portland.
Speaker 1: Pickles is off, but I don't know why I can't
Speaker 1: make my pick here. Oh no, there we go, now,
Speaker 1: I'm up now there it is. Sorry, it was a
Speaker 1: little glitch there in the matrix there. Jackson Holiday went,
Speaker 1: and then I took Holiday was there? I probably would
Speaker 1: have made that selection there. Uh so did I take?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 1: They took it out from under the three hold.
Speaker 3: On, Well, I just take.
Speaker 1: I tried to take, but unfortunately I think I was
Speaker 1: just a little too early there.
Speaker 3: Well, no, he went down.
Speaker 1: Again, right, but it was a little bit of a pause.
Speaker 1: There a little glitch here on my internet for a second.
Speaker 1: So now I've got a regroup. This is this is
Speaker 1: really you guys are getting too good at this.
Speaker 3: I just want to say, we need when you get sniped,
Speaker 3: we need the Randy Orton. You know where you're like, Oh,
Speaker 3: and then Randy Orton comes in.
Speaker 1: Nowhere you just got I pretty much did. I pretty
Speaker 1: much did here, And now I've got to regroup yet
Speaker 1: again here looking at my options. Obviously I've got Paridis,
Speaker 1: I've got Julian. I think I can wait a little longer.
Speaker 1: Maybe I'm wrong. We'll see. Uh. He keeps wanting me
Speaker 1: to take Max Munsey. It's gonna crush my average. I
Speaker 1: don't know if that's the route I want to go.
Speaker 1: I probably need more starting pictures here, so I think
Speaker 1: that's probably where I'm gonna end up going. Walker Buller
Speaker 1: is interesting, but again, the just don't like taking guys
Speaker 1: that are already had hurt to start the year. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna said, take a guy with the Arizona Diamondbacks with
Speaker 1: Eduardo Rodriguez, so it could tell me it's a slight reach.
Speaker 1: I still love the picture. I love what he was
Speaker 1: doing last year. He's got strikeout potential, good team. He
Speaker 1: was brilliant in the first half last year. I know
Speaker 1: injuries kind of derailed the second a little bit, but
Speaker 1: all in all, Imanaga that was the guy I wanted.
Speaker 1: Jackson Holliday. The other guy I wanted once again, Snipey Snipey,
Speaker 1: Alex Lang Holiday Imanaga, then Eduardo Rodriguez, a lawyer Menez.
Speaker 1: There you go, gob a fifteen o seven pick of
Speaker 1: the glass. DJ Local selects Stephen Kwan Mannick is up,
Speaker 1: then mister buster thn Nate Miller Welsh. What are you
Speaker 1: hoping to do here with the way your roster is
Speaker 1: shaping up?
Speaker 3: Well, I'm looking at some power. I'm looking at still
Speaker 3: starting pitchers. I feel like I got stolen bases, but
Speaker 3: I'll tell you the system does not agree. I'm kind
Speaker 3: of near the bottom, but I think one more guy
Speaker 3: is going to cure that, but I kind of want
Speaker 3: to continue my big power run. And Max Munsey was
Speaker 3: one of them, and so is Edward Julian. God, you
Speaker 3: guys are the worst. You guys worst people.
Speaker 1: Oh your boy brainon fots still floating around there too.
Speaker 3: He is still floating around. I am going to take
Speaker 3: a middle infielder though I'm gonna get big power. This
Speaker 3: is gonna hurt my batting average a little bit, but
Speaker 3: I'm gonna go Willia Damas or Joe Williadams, and I
Speaker 3: don't know what I'm gonna do with the other one
Speaker 3: because all these players are stinky and I hate every
Speaker 3: single one of them. But yeah, you can't develop fillerbuster.
Speaker 1: Ken, to my Aida is always another you know selection
Speaker 1: for you, well, you can always go that round, you
Speaker 1: darvish Ken tom Ata that it sounds like a Welsh
Speaker 1: pitching staff to be but you know, you do have one, two,
Speaker 1: three four starting pitchers here, you have two closers, so
Speaker 1: you have some time here. You've got a the ability
Speaker 1: to uh work out of this. So at the end
Speaker 1: of the day it was Brandon Fott, which again that's
Speaker 1: a no brainer. Welsh pick I feel like here.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was gonna be Mounsey and Adamis and I
Speaker 3: was going to really tank some batting average here and
Speaker 3: try to make up for it. Monthsly went ahead, Edward Julian,
Speaker 3: I still need a second basement. I have not locked
Speaker 3: in a second basement, so I'm going really really late here.
Speaker 2: This is the.
Speaker 3: Position that I've punted. Brandon Fott's probably not gonna do
Speaker 3: me a ton of favors on projections, but SP five
Speaker 3: all day long.
Speaker 1: Absolutely, SP five all day long, baby, all day long.
Speaker 1: Interesting some name still on the board too, And this
Speaker 1: is one of those things when you're in the deeper leagues,
Speaker 1: when you go from the the ten person league to
Speaker 1: the twelve person league to even fifteen, things get really dicey.
Speaker 1: You have to make sure that you have a plan
Speaker 1: for these later rounds. Absolutely, so after you did your
Speaker 1: selections there, Welsh, you took five than Paveta. One of
Speaker 1: your other guys goes off the board. Fridol Hayes, Brian Bayo,
Speaker 1: sixteen oh six is up. I'm on the clock right
Speaker 1: now and looking at the rest of this board here,
Speaker 1: trying to figure out which way I want to go,
Speaker 1: and goodness, draft wizards here to help me figure these
Speaker 1: things out, because I certainly need some guidance right now
Speaker 1: there is no more closer on the board. Maybe I
Speaker 1: will go that route too and just kind of be
Speaker 1: a jerk. I think that's sounds like, just be a jerk,
Speaker 1: sounds like something I would do. But Ivaldi off the
Speaker 1: board as well. Walker Bueller Welsh, are you taking Walker
Speaker 1: Buller anywhere? Is that a pick that you are looking
Speaker 1: to make in it? Because he is another guy that's
Speaker 1: floated now here in the sixteenth round.
Speaker 3: I think we're in the territory where you can do it.
Speaker 3: The biggest worry is he's not going to start with
Speaker 3: the team, But I'd also say we're not dealing with
Speaker 3: like massive setbacks or anything like that. Here are the negatives.
Speaker 3: He's not starting, They've got a six man rotation, and
Speaker 3: no guy's going to get over one hundred and fifty innings.
Speaker 3: It doesn't actually mean, though that Walker Buler still can't
Speaker 3: get there if he doesn't start the year off. So
Speaker 3: not that I'm advocating for drafting him really high. We're
Speaker 3: in the Walker Bueller territory right now.
Speaker 1: Though. If you want to take Thing Welsh, that Garrett
Speaker 1: Cole went on in the ninth round, and Koda Sega
Speaker 1: is still here in the sixteenth.
Speaker 3: I mean, I'm not taking guy I made not really apparent, like,
Speaker 3: there's no chance I'm taking Garrett Cole in the top.
Speaker 3: I don't care if it's like, oh, he does cut,
Speaker 3: he's not. He's gonna be gone for like two months,
Speaker 3: and it might be longer, and if the team really
Speaker 3: wants to play it close to the chest, they might
Speaker 3: be like, let's do this post All Star break. So
Speaker 3: taking him in the top one fifty just makes no
Speaker 3: sense to me right now, Toto Imanaga, I'm taking hands
Speaker 3: down over Garrett Cole right now, and Cole it's further down,
Speaker 3: you know.
Speaker 1: When we're talking about that too, if you want to
Speaker 1: take a shot on a picture that maybe you're getting
Speaker 1: a value on because of an injury. Looking at this
Speaker 1: board right now again, Senga theoretically is supposed to at
Speaker 1: some point start to work his way back. Govie. That
Speaker 1: seems like a lot better path here around sixteen seventeen
Speaker 1: than Garrett Cole in the ninth round.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a no brainer to me. I don't even
Speaker 2: know why this is happening, right now it's very bizarre.
Speaker 2: In fact, uh, I think the code I Sanga has
Speaker 2: a much better chance of giving you at least one
Speaker 2: hundred innings this year than Cole does.
Speaker 1: I agree? All, I agree. I think there's a much
Speaker 1: better chance that even if it takes senga longer, that
Speaker 1: Sega gives you more innings. I know you're on the
Speaker 1: clock with ten seconds here to go, recap. There you go,
Speaker 1: you did it all right. So let's go through these
Speaker 1: picks here. So after Ivaldi, I took Christian Javier at
Speaker 1: sixteen oh seven, I mean, pretty deep in the starting pitcher, realm.
Speaker 1: I'll take that shot on the guy, you know, the
Speaker 1: flamethrowing guy here, Trevor Story at sixteen oh eight, Gabriel
Speaker 1: Moreno at sixteen oh nine, win of Welsh's favorite to
Speaker 1: consa nine, and then Mookie Bett selected Bryce Miller Morell
Speaker 1: to Hugovier and Aaron Savali another really nice pick there.
Speaker 1: I love that one. Cal Rawley at sixteen twelve, and
Speaker 1: then Peretis at seventeen oh one. Let's talk about Savali
Speaker 1: because that's a dude. Again. It feels like, you know
Speaker 1: they I say it all the time. The Rays get
Speaker 1: their claws in somebody next thing. You know, you get
Speaker 1: the best version of them. Do you think that you're
Speaker 1: gonna get the best version of Savali this year?
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I mean that's why I made the pick here.
Speaker 2: This is a mock draft, but I'm locked in. I'm
Speaker 2: assuming there's a million pot at steak here, so I'm
Speaker 2: not screwing around. To me, Savale's ratios really gonna help
Speaker 2: out with the rest of my pitching staff. You know,
Speaker 2: I got guys like Carlos, Rodon, Logan Gilbert, so I'd
Speaker 2: love what Savale brings. But also in the latter part
Speaker 2: of the year after he was traded to the Race,
Speaker 2: Savale was making some bitners miss some pitches, and I
Speaker 2: think that the Race are going to tap into that
Speaker 2: more in twenty twenty four. I think Savale's a very
Speaker 2: underrated asset this year.
Speaker 1: All right, I am up on the clock. The guy
Speaker 1: that I wanted is still there, So Michael Garcia off
Speaker 1: of my team off. I think I should say the
Speaker 1: queue and onto my roster there, so he'll be my
Speaker 1: third baseman, slash shortstop whatever you'll call Gunner Henderson, my
Speaker 1: third basement. If it makes everybody happy out there. I
Speaker 1: think I got a life balance here of stolen bases
Speaker 1: of power. I've got some guys to help me with
Speaker 1: the batting average offset, maybe guys like Volpi. But I
Speaker 1: like the way this roster's coming together offensively. I like
Speaker 1: the depth of the pitching staff Glass now Steel, Sale, Verlander,
Speaker 1: Javier and Eduardo Rodriguez. So I feel pretty decent.
Speaker 3: I'll tell you you are projected the second most stolen bases. Actually,
Speaker 3: you just moved a third live, which you can check
Speaker 3: when you're on the draft board. On draft wazers, you
Speaker 3: can go through your stolen bases. You are in the
Speaker 3: top half. So good on you.
Speaker 1: I feel good about that, right, I feel you know,
Speaker 1: I feel pretty good. Let's see how draft ways are great.
Speaker 1: So I am doing a full Welsh here because I
Speaker 1: definitely am starting to pull out of the tailspin in
Speaker 1: these last couple of picks. But man, that middle was
Speaker 1: rough Welsh. I was starting to like it.
Speaker 3: That's what happens. That's the Welsh. The Welsh draft cycle
Speaker 3: is you never go full Welsh. Why does everybody let
Speaker 3: me do this? And then it's oh, I'm the worst person.
Speaker 3: I should give it all up and then come back
Speaker 3: and everything's okay.
Speaker 1: That's the modest man live. Candelario goes at seventeen oh three,
Speaker 1: Gavin Williams at seventeen oh four, then Francisco Alvarez me
Speaker 1: in the middle, seventeen oh six, Michael Garcia, and then
Speaker 1: we have Tristan McKenzie, Pepio Starling, Marte, Walker Buehler, Jorge Polanco,
Speaker 1: La Clerk that's the guy Welsh that was the last closer.
Speaker 3: I know when you said closers, I agree you knew.
Speaker 1: And then Matt Chapman next for you. So Chapman and Leclerk,
Speaker 1: let's talk about this in the selections you made, how
Speaker 1: do you feel about these two picks?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I don't love what's left at corner Enfield.
Speaker 3: I got to feel one of those spots. I one
Speaker 3: thousand percent wanted Jamer Candelario and he went, so I
Speaker 3: had to pivot. I Like I said, I don't like
Speaker 3: the first Nate Lowe's out there. Third base was drying up,
Speaker 3: and Matt Chapman's one of those players, and I'm going
Speaker 3: to just hope for the bounce back. You know, Eno
Speaker 3: had talked about him just getting that average a little
Speaker 3: bit back up the hard hit numbers are there. It's
Speaker 3: a little bit of a more difficult hitting environment, I suppose,
Speaker 3: but he's going to be putting a really good opportunity
Speaker 3: for runs in RBIs, so I think that's pretty solid
Speaker 3: right around two hundred, and then I went for a
Speaker 3: third closer in there to get just a few more saves.
Speaker 3: It was really projecting me low, by the way, with
Speaker 3: Fairbanks and with Tanner Scott. So this is a tiny
Speaker 3: bit more protection for some saves. So I am investing
Speaker 3: a little bit higher in there. These are not sexy picks.
Speaker 3: These are the most unsexy picks of Matt Chapman. And uh,
Speaker 3: it was like a clerk. But this is what you
Speaker 3: got to do sometimes at the end of your draft,
Speaker 3: all right.
Speaker 1: So at the end of the draft here actually again
Speaker 1: I'm feeling pretty good about the board. Now now all of
Speaker 1: a sudden, things have definitely right the ship Byron Buckson,
Speaker 1: by the way, who already got hurt today, By the way,
Speaker 1: in case you were keeping at home, eighteen oh two
Speaker 1: code I sing got eighteen oh three Hoveer buys at
Speaker 1: eighteen oh four Brandon Drury. So this is how you know,
Speaker 1: this is our people dj Local taking Brandon Drury here
Speaker 1: eighteen oh five than Nathaniel Lowe. I took Dalton varshow
Speaker 1: at eighteen oh seven. Need another outfielder there, So I
Speaker 1: got my fourth outfielder on this team. I still need
Speaker 1: the util spot. Jung Hu Lee went, that's the guy
Speaker 1: that I was hoping to make it back to me.
Speaker 1: So I get beef up that average. Well done, Constantine
Speaker 1: Contentin's got me a couple of times. So well done, JM,
Speaker 1: well done, Movie Betts, Legacy, Braxton, Garrett, go Vier. You're
Speaker 1: up here with seventeen seconds Welsh Jung Huli. Looking at
Speaker 1: the projection so far for him, projected to score sixty
Speaker 1: nine runs, hit ten homers, steal seven bags, hit two
Speaker 1: eighty four. I think he can go closer to ninety
Speaker 1: runs score in this Giants lineup. I think he can
Speaker 1: probably match that ten home runs, and I think the
Speaker 1: batting average is going to be over three hundred. What
Speaker 1: do you think here about these projections for Lee based
Speaker 1: off of what your expectations might be.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think I view him as like a Luisa
Speaker 3: Rise of the outfield. I think this is a batting
Speaker 3: average and a runs play. I'm not counting on homers.
Speaker 3: I'm not counting on solar bases. I think RBIs will
Speaker 3: be non existent. So if you're down for a three
Speaker 3: category player or a two category player, then do it.
Speaker 3: I think he's a better Points League player, and I'm
Speaker 3: really only taking him if I have screwed up batting average,
Speaker 3: which a lot of people do. It's one of the
Speaker 3: most common things to screw up early in drafts. That's
Speaker 3: when I'm going to put my focus on him. He's
Speaker 3: not going to be a major draft target in non
Speaker 3: points league formats for me.
Speaker 1: All right, go Via, you made two picks here, so
Speaker 1: let's talk about your two. After Lee, Brax and Garrett,
Speaker 1: then you took in to my Aida. Then Mason Miller
Speaker 1: went at eighteen twelve, Guriel at nineteen oh one, and
Speaker 1: then Hunter Harvey in Washington the reliever at nineteen oh two.
Speaker 1: So my Aida and Harvey, let's talk about those two picks.
Speaker 2: Michael, Oh, well, I gotta give it up. I blew it,
Speaker 2: and I'm just gonna come clean right now because I
Speaker 2: should have taken Mason Miller instead of my Ata, and
Speaker 2: I probably could have got my Ada in three picks
Speaker 2: after that. But durs took Miller right after I took
Speaker 2: my ADA, and if I could do it over again,
Speaker 2: I would like to reverse that because there was a
Speaker 2: couple other starters I liked similar to my Aida, even
Speaker 2: though I love Maida this year, I'm big, very, very
Speaker 2: excited about my ADA in Detroit this season, and Mason
Speaker 2: Miller was kind of like the last closer I really like.
Speaker 2: Now Harvey's a guy who I prefer in Washington, but
Speaker 2: Finnegan's still around for now, but financially Finnigan will show
Speaker 2: his true colors, and I like Harvey's stuff to outlast
Speaker 2: him for saves.
Speaker 1: All right, So I took Varshow with my last pick,
Speaker 1: and because the pick predictor said that this next guy
Speaker 1: is going to make it back to me, so I
Speaker 1: want to see if he does, because if he does,
Speaker 1: I'm very happy. And he did. Logan o'hapy is gonna
Speaker 1: be my catcher here, so I'm gonna go ahead and
Speaker 1: take some more power. I gotta steel again, so making
Speaker 1: up time here, and these are very useful tools. Again
Speaker 1: draft Whizzard pick predictor it said I'll Hoppy had a
Speaker 1: good chance of making it back to me. Varshow did not,
Speaker 1: so I took varshow I got the outfielder locked in
Speaker 1: after Harvey went Jeremy pay Christopher Sanchez, Cutter Crawford, another
Speaker 1: guy that we've talked about quite a bit on the show,
Speaker 1: Garrett Whitlock by the play, not just Crawford, but Whitlock
Speaker 1: having a really good spring Govier. Could this finally be
Speaker 1: the year where Whitlock becomes a useful fantasy guy because
Speaker 1: I feel like we get teased every year with that guy.
Speaker 1: Is this the breakout? Possibly?
Speaker 2: Ooh, we're trying to put the past in the past.
Speaker 2: And that one season a couple years ago where Boston
Speaker 2: screwed around with Tanner, Houck and Whitlock in the rotation reliever.
Speaker 2: In the rotation reliever, it was it stunned their growth
Speaker 2: a bit. But I actually prefer how of all three
Speaker 2: right now, I'll go Hawk Whitlock and then Cutter Crawford
Speaker 2: looking at that Boston rotation. But I do admit that
Speaker 2: I'm a little skeptical about Whitlock because of the injuries.
Speaker 2: That's the only concern. But I actually think if he's
Speaker 2: healthy that we could be looking at a value play here.
Speaker 1: Joe, all right, So value there potentially on the board,
Speaker 1: but we'll see how that works out. He's still floating
Speaker 1: around there. We'll see if anybody drafts him. I took
Speaker 1: a hoppy after a hoppy, Carl's Correa goes at nineteen
Speaker 1: oh seven. Carlos Estevez back to back Carlos or Carlos I.
Speaker 1: I don't know what the plural of Carlos is. Lars
Speaker 1: neutmar murder, a murder of murder of Carlos's. Okay, there
Speaker 1: you go, Jonathan India at nineteen ten, Griffin Canning at
Speaker 1: nineteen eleven, and Welsh finally, after three hours, gets to
Speaker 1: make two more picks.
Speaker 3: So long, it's just the longest I've ever waited for
Speaker 3: a pick. I just took Justin Turner, who's gonna qualify
Speaker 3: in some formats, at second, and I get to throw
Speaker 3: him at second for the batting average push back up,
Speaker 3: and here's the deal. I just don't like any players
Speaker 3: that are left. But that is a critical error taking o'hopy.
Speaker 3: I wish I had taken o'hoppy earlier. I kind of
Speaker 3: screwed up there. I'm gonna go with Jonahim. I'm gonna
Speaker 3: lock in my catcher now a little bit higher batting average.
Speaker 3: I do like Mitch Garver quite a bit, but Jonaheim
Speaker 3: is a solid pick. But you know, I'm taking him
Speaker 3: at the end, and the system is telling me I'm
Speaker 3: getting a steal on this. I filled out my my
Speaker 3: roster outside of one pitching spot, so it's gonna time
Speaker 3: to take a turn to the bench and get some
Speaker 3: riskier And this is also where the system is going
Speaker 3: to probably hate or love if we take too many
Speaker 3: risks on the bench. But just telling everybody again, though
Speaker 3: we may may take some boring or type plays, get
Speaker 3: in and get some risk stuff in here.
Speaker 1: These are guys you can burst time for risk. I
Speaker 1: love by the way you taking Justin Turner there, I
Speaker 1: mean another guy, Yeah, give me two eighty twenty eighty eighty.
Speaker 1: I mean that's if he plays one hundred and forty
Speaker 1: games or thirty five, that's probably what you're gonna get.
Speaker 3: It just doesn't help my stolen bases. It is going
Speaker 3: to be a clear issue for me, especially when playing
Speaker 3: rod O. You don't want to punt. I do have
Speaker 3: a couple serious I'm just gonna let everybody know now
Speaker 3: I'm watching it live. I've got three to four categories
Speaker 3: that are serious problems for me. But I'm also on
Speaker 3: those others really high, So we're gonna have to see
Speaker 3: where the balance comes out, and I need to try
Speaker 3: to fix that. Wherever I can stolen base, then.
Speaker 1: You should finish sixth. By that account, like anything less
Speaker 1: six is a disappointment.
Speaker 3: You know, because I'm very, very high in like five
Speaker 3: or six other categories.
Speaker 1: So just all right. I got another steal, by the way,
Speaker 1: according to Draft Wizard, so that's three of my last
Speaker 1: five picks. I got the steel.
Speaker 2: Button he's on far Go Vier.
Speaker 1: Isn't it nice to have emoji's kind of like support
Speaker 1: you emotionally. I feel like that's a good thing sometimes, right,
Speaker 1: We all need that.
Speaker 2: It's never a negative. We need them in our lives.
Speaker 2: Without emoji's, country would be lost.
Speaker 1: If Welsh was running Draft Wizard, the poop emoji would
Speaker 1: be there and tell you this is a terrible pick.
Speaker 3: I would do emojis for every single pick.
Speaker 1: So after time, Kyle Harrison reed Detmer's Khybert Ruiz, Marcus
Speaker 1: Stroman Nester Cortez then to me at twenty oh seven,
Speaker 1: I took Jade Martinez because he's gonna be on a
Speaker 1: team in the next I don't know, twenty four to
Speaker 1: forty eight hours. Probably, well, I feel like so that's
Speaker 1: my DH so my utility guy. I feel pretty good.
Speaker 1: Mitch Garver was still on the board. That's another guy
Speaker 1: certainly worthy of taking, Mackenzie Gore, Brandon Lau, Ryan Maulcastle, Govier.
Speaker 1: You took Taylor Ward, who was the guy that if
Speaker 1: Martinez wasn't there, I was going to take. So that's
Speaker 1: a pretty good pick up in the twentieth round. A
Speaker 1: guy last year again, ninety seven games. But you know,
Speaker 1: you extrapolate those numbers, you're looking at a twenty home
Speaker 1: run guy, seventy five seventy five.
Speaker 2: Right, I'm curious what you guys think because he got
Speaker 2: hit last year in the face. It was awful. Okay,
Speaker 2: So Taylor Ward has to get over that mental hurdle.
Speaker 2: But if he gets over that mental hurdle, he's going
Speaker 2: to be the guy he was before. And I'm curious
Speaker 2: if you guys are buying into what I'm buying in.
Speaker 2: And that's the Ron Washington effect. I just feel like
Speaker 2: Ron Washington's gonna take this Angels team up a little
Speaker 2: bit more than where they've been recently.
Speaker 3: Run that effect. I think they're gonna run, and that's
Speaker 3: what they said they're gonna do. I know nobody.
Speaker 2: I know.
Speaker 3: We've talked with Scott Pianowski, which you can check out
Speaker 3: the entire interview on the YouTube channel. He's a great
Speaker 3: won during Fantasy Fest, said he didn't believe that Trout
Speaker 3: was gonna start running, even though that's gonna be like
Speaker 3: a Washington push. Maybe that's not gonna be the case.
Speaker 3: But that's why I'm so high on Zach Netto and
Speaker 3: I've talked. I've been putting him as a breakout player.
Speaker 3: I think he is going to be tremendous. I think
Speaker 3: Ring Gifo is another one of those players. I do
Speaker 3: think we're going to have a handful of players that
Speaker 3: are going to steal more bases under Washington.
Speaker 2: For sure, You've loved Netto since the day he was born.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that Meato guy always has been, always will be
Speaker 1: all right after you took war to Lodola went and
Speaker 1: Bowt Nailer. Then Parker Meadow's another Welsh favor here. Let's
Speaker 1: talk about it.
Speaker 3: Oh hey, that's twenty twenty potential shares the name of
Speaker 3: my son. My son actually got to meet him in
Speaker 3: the AFL and they he was so excited to say
Speaker 3: my name is Parker and he was like, my name
Speaker 3: is too, and they shared that friendship. But Parker Meadows
Speaker 3: is a guy that can leave out.
Speaker 1: We just became best friends.
Speaker 3: We did yeah, yeah, and they didn't do karate or
Speaker 3: anything like that. It's okay, But Parker Meadows led off
Speaker 3: a ton in the AFL. There's always the possibility that
Speaker 3: could put him in that. I don't think they will,
Speaker 3: but they could put him in those situations. But there's
Speaker 3: twenty power, there's twenty stolen bases at the back end
Speaker 3: of an order. He might be running a little bit
Speaker 3: more too, which could get those up. So maybe you
Speaker 3: can get a fifteen to twenty five if he plays
Speaker 3: the whole season. He's a cool five tool player that
Speaker 3: might not suffer anywhere. He's a great fourth, fifth, outfield
Speaker 3: or even a bench guy if you can.
Speaker 1: Take him all right, So after Meadows, Kerry Carpenter, Andrew
Speaker 1: Abbott RANGIFO, so Devin Williams because I can't as a
Speaker 1: twenty first round. He's been shut down. He's supposed to
Speaker 1: be back in three months, so maybe I get him
Speaker 1: back in June and that's some more saves for me,
Speaker 1: because I think he's gonna go back right back into
Speaker 1: that role. I would be shocked if he didn't. Suarez
Speaker 1: at twenty one oh seven, Kyle bradsh at twenty one
Speaker 1: oh eight. So it's the round obviously where we take
Speaker 1: hurt pictures, folks, twenty first round market at home. So
Speaker 1: you're ready for hurt pictures in the twenty first round.
Speaker 1: Mannick is up, then mister Buster Nate Miller Welsh. You've
Speaker 1: got two picks coming up sometime this century. What do
Speaker 1: you want to do with these two?
Speaker 3: I've actually wanted to take Bradish. That was where I
Speaker 3: was gonna go with it, but I.
Speaker 1: Can't help what So again, here's another thing. So Senga
Speaker 1: goes and then Bradish goes. Even later, who is the
Speaker 1: best ROI of the hurt pictures because like sures are
Speaker 1: still on the board too, Like where how do you
Speaker 1: justify and when you justify taking some of these hurt guys,
Speaker 1: because that's something that's been very popular on the questions
Speaker 1: of the chat here today.
Speaker 3: Well, I think it's when you can put them on
Speaker 3: the bench, or you can put them at the back,
Speaker 3: at the very very back end of the rotation. It
Speaker 3: also depends on probably the risk that you've taken on
Speaker 3: as this draft has gone on, Like if you've got
Speaker 3: a bunch of hurt starting pick, you might want to
Speaker 3: think twice before you end up doing that. So I
Speaker 3: think in the spot that I'm in, or that we're
Speaker 3: in at this you know, two point fifty where we're
Speaker 3: drafting bench guys, if he starts or if he misses
Speaker 3: just a little bit of time and Bradish comes back healthy,
Speaker 3: it's top fifteen, top twenty sp So that's why it's
Speaker 3: worth the risk, especially in a rodo formats even a
Speaker 3: little bit more. But it didn't happen. I didn't get them.
Speaker 3: But I actually think Senga and Bradish should be a
Speaker 3: lot closer. So I'm a little bit surprised that they
Speaker 3: were that far off.
Speaker 2: Aren't Cole and Bradish closer? Or am I missing something there?
Speaker 1: I mean help well, no, not really not on the
Speaker 1: ranks in the ECR, Cole is still higher significantly than that.
Speaker 2: I guess, I mean by the elbow. In the end,
Speaker 2: it seems like they had similar injuries.
Speaker 1: So it seems like neither of them to me are
Speaker 1: good investments this year. Like I keep coming back to
Speaker 1: Senga being the guy who's like, all right, well it's
Speaker 1: a shoulder thing. It's not that it's not serious. And
Speaker 1: of course I always think negatively when it's the Mets,
Speaker 1: because I've been trained that way. But Govier, it feels
Speaker 1: like there's a path where Senga is like, yeah, he's
Speaker 1: gonna be okay. It seems like we were doing the
Speaker 1: right due diligence here on it, whereas the possibility of
Speaker 1: the entire season being a wash for Brash and Cole
Speaker 1: just seems like a bigger potential hurdle from me. Where
Speaker 1: do use dat goober? On drafting some of these injured
Speaker 1: guys too? I mean guys like Devin Williams another guy too,
Speaker 1: Like when is it a value or when is it
Speaker 1: just not worth your draft capital?
Speaker 2: It's only worth it if it's a very final four
Speaker 2: or five roster spots at the very end of a draft.
Speaker 2: If it's a thirty team or excuse me, thirty roster
Speaker 2: places and you got twenty six, twenty seven, twenty eight,
Speaker 2: twenty nine, Yeah, take a shot there. But otherwise I'll
Speaker 2: staying away for pitchers who are borderline about to be
Speaker 2: on the shelf for a lot longer than we can expect.
Speaker 2: And to me, Cole and Bradish are much more riskier
Speaker 2: than Senga, who's I know, shoulders just gonna be just
Speaker 2: as a big a deal. But it seems like he
Speaker 2: has more of a chance to get back in the
Speaker 2: mix here than those do. And I also think Verlander
Speaker 2: is a guy who's actually think he's just taking his time,
Speaker 2: I really do. I know he's got an issue, but
Speaker 2: I also think they want to gear him up for
Speaker 2: the playoff run because it's used to they're the every year.
Speaker 1: I think that's where he is due too. I think
Speaker 1: it's the same thing too. Like you, you shouldn't rush
Speaker 1: him because you need him in October more they need
Speaker 1: him in April. You know, you're just still win games.
Speaker 1: You're still going to be up at the front. Plus
Speaker 1: rotations still fall, guys like Hunter Brown and Xavier Christian
Speaker 1: Xavier who you're worrying about. Okay, what are they going
Speaker 1: to give us this year? And you know, if they're
Speaker 1: not giving us what we need come the stretch run
Speaker 1: in August in September, you have to lean on Verlander
Speaker 1: even more potentially, so speaking of her pitchers, I just
Speaker 1: took one as well, so I'm staying with the theme
Speaker 1: of the show, saying Max Scherzer, so well, she took
Speaker 1: Kellen Nick and Todz Bradley. I want to go back
Speaker 1: to your picks here. So are you concerned yet about
Speaker 1: Kellen ic Spray because I think you should be.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm Briza hated the pick in there. I get
Speaker 3: you guys hating it. I don't like that he's literally
Speaker 3: the era's worst spring training player of all time. But
Speaker 3: it is spring training and it is just the world's
Speaker 3: worst player of all time, and he might be bringing
Speaker 3: in Dval really took off me ever doing any type
Speaker 3: of hype on it. But we're on the bench. I'm
Speaker 3: going to take him in case it does transfer back
Speaker 3: out of spring training into the season starting well, because
Speaker 3: he's a legit twenty twenty option. Like I said, it's
Speaker 3: a better ballpark factor for left handed hitters. It doesn't work,
Speaker 3: I'm gonna move off from him. This is a guy
Speaker 3: was taking inside the top two hundred earlier. It was wrong.
Speaker 3: Now I got him around two sixty. That's a much
Speaker 3: easier thing to stommach.
Speaker 1: After you took Todz Bradley another guy also injured. Again,
Speaker 1: these are the theme of the late rounds. Ryan McMahon,
Speaker 1: Jackson Winskys, Shane Basse also injured. Lance Lynn. Had he
Speaker 1: made it to me, I would have taken Lynn because
Speaker 1: give me, you know the six months, give me a
Speaker 1: shot here that Lance Lynn has something left in the tank.
Speaker 1: There again the strikeouts were there is just the results.
Speaker 1: We're all over the place. Giancarlo Stanton at twenty two
Speaker 1: oh six, the poster boy for injuries, Max Scherzer, Brian Abreu.
Speaker 1: Then we have aj Puck, Mitch Garver goes at twenty
Speaker 1: two ten. A great value there a guy hitting clean
Speaker 1: up again, Brendan Donovan goes to Govier and then Durris.
Speaker 1: It's Rhyse Olsen, Louis Varlin, Matt Wallner another outfielder for you.
Speaker 1: So Donovan and Walner, let's talk about these two picture
Speaker 1: you made here.
Speaker 2: Donovan one more time position, little flexibility, and I ad
Speaker 2: bet he's a little bit more useful in obp leagues.
Speaker 2: But even then Roto Average leaves that we're doing here.
Speaker 2: I like Donovan because he's got I mean, he'll.
Speaker 1: Be at the top of that lineup.
Speaker 2: He will be, So that's a good place to be.
Speaker 2: I don't know how long it'll last or if it sticks,
Speaker 2: but I do know that I like his ability to
Speaker 2: provide flexibility for me. And then taking Walner, that's just
Speaker 2: a power bat that I like. I think he's got
Speaker 2: a lot of potential this year if he can get
Speaker 2: the advance and stay consistent. I don't think it was
Speaker 2: a fluke last year. Every time he's come up to
Speaker 2: the majors, he's shown a little something. And I'm expecting
Speaker 2: Matt Walder to take another step forward in twenty twenty four.
Speaker 1: All right, So Walner off the board, Chris Bryant, zachnetto
Speaker 1: there he goes Ryan Presley, Junior kaman Aro to Joey p.
Speaker 3: God, that makes me so mad. I missed Cavi and
Speaker 3: Narow and I got excited and you did it.
Speaker 1: Ah, that's right, I did it, Dio Welsh. By the way,
Speaker 1: this particular roster here, my weakness is kind of third
Speaker 1: base because Garcia is more of like a you know,
Speaker 1: middle infield kind of guy. Cam and Arow. Hopefully I'll
Speaker 1: have him sometime in May on this roster. Theoretically, as
Speaker 1: I'm drafting, we do every draft here as though we're
Speaker 1: gonna play this season out. We don't muck around these
Speaker 1: parts of fancy crosmob. Okay, we're really thinking because we
Speaker 1: want you to see and learn from these drafts as
Speaker 1: much as you possibly can as we're doing them. Why
Speaker 1: we're doing the picks, what the mindset is, and how
Speaker 1: to take that. I can't believe it is the last
Speaker 1: one too, So Netto off the board, Cam and Arrow
Speaker 1: off the board, Cold Keith off the board. A lot
Speaker 1: of rookies flying off here, Emmitt Shehann and John Gray
Speaker 1: off the board. JP Crawford at twenty three ten Welsh,
Speaker 1: what's the backup plan here? I think I know what
Speaker 1: it is, but I want to hear it from your house.
Speaker 3: Don't think you know what it is?
Speaker 1: I think I do.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna go with one position player and I'm gonna
Speaker 3: go with a picture. Who do you think it is?
Speaker 3: Am I forgetting someone that I should be.
Speaker 1: I will be honest with you. I will tell you
Speaker 1: if I who I think.
Speaker 3: Is well, I know the hitter I'm thinking of is not.
Speaker 3: So I'm actually gonna just do it here. We're gonna
Speaker 3: go with Johann Rojas for stolen bases because he's one
Speaker 3: of the higher projected play even in three hundred plus
Speaker 3: of plate appearances, it's like twenty plus stolen bases. He
Speaker 3: could steal forty if given the opportunity. He's like a
Speaker 3: poor man's estuary Ruiz. And then as far as pitching goes,
Speaker 3: I'm gonna go for I'm going to go for my
Speaker 3: guy Michael Waka, as I've taken him in every single
Speaker 3: draft and I love taking him on the bench or
Speaker 3: as a back end starting pitcher. Who did you think
Speaker 3: I was going to go with them?
Speaker 1: Well, you'll see because I'm going to take him with
Speaker 1: my next pick if he.
Speaker 3: Makes me so is going to be a rookie?
Speaker 1: Is who you're thinking it is? It is? We'll see
Speaker 1: if you can guess which one it might be. But
Speaker 1: who knows. He might not make it to me with
Speaker 1: the way this crew.
Speaker 3: I hope he doesn't.
Speaker 1: I hope he does, and I think I think he might.
Speaker 1: So we shall see here as time goes on. I believed.
Speaker 1: So let's recap the picks here going forward, Jordan Hicks
Speaker 1: after Waka, then Will Smith relief pitcher. Three picks left
Speaker 1: to me, and then we're gonna break it all down,
Speaker 1: So make sure you stick with us, because when this
Speaker 1: is over, we're gonna see the draft grades. Who hated
Speaker 1: the teams, who loved the teams, and where we all finished.
Speaker 1: Go va, if you have a prediction here, where do
Speaker 1: you think you're finished in this draft? In terms of
Speaker 1: the analysis. Are you at the top of the third,
Speaker 1: the middle, or the back end here?
Speaker 2: Legendary fantasy pros grade. I'm excited to see what happens,
Speaker 2: but I'm gonna say this. I think I'm probably in
Speaker 2: fourth or fifth. That's crushed Steel's Actually I thought I
Speaker 2: power nice balance there as well. With the power betting average,
Speaker 2: I think I'm pretty sound. Maybe pitching will be the
Speaker 2: weakest spot. Actually, I think I'll actually get crushed in
Speaker 2: starting pitching.
Speaker 1: Okay, so starting pitching is the weakness there. I think
Speaker 1: I'll watch you pretty good about my starting pitching. Again,
Speaker 1: everybody knows me. I'm gonna wait a little bit longer
Speaker 1: for saves. That's just how I roll. It's one thing
Speaker 1: you can always find. The waiver wire every single year closed,
Speaker 1: absolutely change. It's I'm never gonna waste draft capital if
Speaker 1: I can avoid it.
Speaker 3: All right, every bit of your fab on going for
Speaker 3: one closer who gets absolutely.
Speaker 1: That's by Daniel Bard.
Speaker 2: A couple of years ago. Daniel Bard had like thirty saves.
Speaker 2: He was a big success.
Speaker 1: There you go, so Hicks, Will Smith, Josh Bell, Uhaneo Suarrez,
Speaker 1: d l Hall. Nice election there too. All Skeens for
Speaker 1: me at twenty four oh seven. I don't think it's
Speaker 1: gonna be long, Welsh. I think we're looking at a
Speaker 1: very very similar path that we saw Steven Strasburg take
Speaker 1: a few years ago, where he is selling him by June. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, what how do you have to lose? You're
Speaker 1: the pirates. Get this kid up there. It's electric, it's fun.
Speaker 1: Paul skeins in June. That's what you do. You're not
Speaker 1: gonna compete anyway. You'll shut him down at the end
Speaker 1: of August and everything will be fine. But you got
Speaker 1: to show the fan base that you are gonna play
Speaker 1: some of the guys here. Seth Lugo goes next. Welsh,
Speaker 1: what do you think of Skeens and would you be
Speaker 1: drafting and stashing him or are you just trying to
Speaker 1: blow all your fab on him whenever he gets called up,
Speaker 1: because you know that's the guy people are gonna blow fab.
Speaker 3: On Yeah, I am, well. I mean I've said this
Speaker 3: a bunch like that's what I want to do. Like
Speaker 3: in these last couple of picks, projections, whatever be damned.
Speaker 3: I want to take players with the high upside, and
Speaker 3: if I then can't stomach it, you can like cuddable
Speaker 3: players with the biggest upsides. Who are those players, Junior Camenio,
Speaker 3: Paul Skins, any of these rookies that are still floating
Speaker 3: out there. That's absolutely what you do, because I don't
Speaker 3: want to spend my fab on them. I would rather
Speaker 3: be invested in being sneaky and trying to be a
Speaker 3: week early. But who are the guys that are gonna
Speaker 3: have the most fab the guy that takes over a
Speaker 3: closer position or the young hot rookie that's coming up.
Speaker 3: Paul Skins will go for eighty percent, probably a ton
Speaker 3: of people's fab if he is sitting out on the
Speaker 3: wire and you don't get him early enough.
Speaker 1: Agreed, you're gonna hate my next pick. Welsh. By the way,
Speaker 1: if you think you didn't like that one, wait you
Speaker 1: see the next one. You're gonna really hate that one.
Speaker 1: I can't wait to do it because I think I
Speaker 1: think you're gonna be equally proud of me and angry
Speaker 1: at the same time, which sounds about right for our relationship.
Speaker 1: All right, so let's continue on here recapping the picks.
Speaker 1: We're almost done. We're in the last round here. We
Speaker 1: appreciate everybody hanging out with us. Of course, our producer
Speaker 1: John who's running the show today. Everybody joining us live.
Speaker 1: Make sure if you haven't already defans forro his MLB channel,
Speaker 1: ring those bell for notifications. We're giving away tons of
Speaker 1: free stuff. That trophy smack belt we're given away there.
Speaker 1: We're giving away one year free premium upgrades to Brent
Speaker 1: Rooker goes after Lugo than Kepler, then Ezekiel Duran to Govier,
Speaker 1: Dela cruz ty France. Let's talk about your last two
Speaker 1: picks there, Rafaela and Duran go Vier, how do you
Speaker 1: feel about these elections?
Speaker 2: Well, Welsh was just kind of saying it some high
Speaker 2: upside guys and Sadani. Raphaela is a lot of fun.
Speaker 2: He's got shortstop eligibility and outfield. So we take a
Speaker 2: shout here that he can actually stick in the lineup
Speaker 2: be a part of this Boston team now and Ezekiel
Speaker 2: Durant is just such a useful player to have in
Speaker 2: multiple formats because he's played so many positions. He doesn't
Speaker 2: walk a lot, but he makes a lot of contact,
Speaker 2: and he always seems to surprise you every time you
Speaker 2: want to count him out. You want to go with
Speaker 2: Corey Seager, you want to go with all the best
Speaker 2: talent that Texas has. We know how much talent Texas
Speaker 2: has when it comes to hitting, But Durant's always gonna
Speaker 2: be around and he's going to be in that lineup
Speaker 2: more often than not. So that's why I took my boy, Ezekiel.
Speaker 1: Jordan Westburg, Tyler Well South Frelick. And then it's speaking
Speaker 1: about guys who played different positions. He qualifies a short stoff,
Speaker 1: but it's gonna be the starting center field or opening
Speaker 1: day for the Padres. Jackson Merrill, let's go Welsh. How
Speaker 1: do you feel about that selection?
Speaker 3: I love that pick. I mean that would have been
Speaker 3: I mean, arguably, taking Jackson Merrill over Kelnick would have
Speaker 3: probably been a smarter movie because he's gonna have, you know,
Speaker 3: infield eligibility and outfield eligibility. It's gonna hurt your draft grade,
Speaker 3: but I think Jackson Merril is like the prime player
Speaker 3: you take on the back end of your draft. Here's
Speaker 3: the only negative is if you do wait for your
Speaker 3: draft to be closer to the season. If Jackson Merril
Speaker 3: shows out at all uh in this Korea series, watch
Speaker 3: out like Jackson Merril. You get a home or you
Speaker 3: get some stolen bases, a couple of hits, then his
Speaker 3: draft stock is gonna rise. But I think it's a
Speaker 3: fantastic pick.
Speaker 1: He's gonna be the first guy off waivers in Week one,
Speaker 1: Like I'm already gonna be doing that video. Jackson Merrel
Speaker 1: is gonna be the first guy we talked about Freeley
Speaker 1: James Wood, another guy will talk about to Anthony Rizzo,
Speaker 1: Luis Everarino, Tim Anderson Welsh last pick of the draft?
Speaker 1: What do you have for the people?
Speaker 3: It looks like I got sniped. Everything kind of froze
Speaker 3: out for me.
Speaker 1: So oh here from the Draft Wizard for me? So
Speaker 1: see Draft Wizard? Is that a C for you?
Speaker 2: Is that seventy six? I passed?
Speaker 1: But hey, Chris Welsh, I think you're gonna be pleasantly
Speaker 1: surprised because you finished better than me. You were number three.
Speaker 1: I was number four. Welsh way to end the draft
Speaker 1: season on a high note. My friend, how do you feel?
Speaker 3: That's how we do it? We feel good. We did
Speaker 3: not I did not win, but I did beat both
Speaker 3: of your mugs. And that's really the only thing that
Speaker 3: matters at the draft is being the smartest person in
Speaker 3: the room. But I will tell you there is is
Speaker 3: the most correct thing we had in this entire draft
Speaker 3: was Joe, you and I saying that Durs was going
Speaker 3: to dominate, because he did with the number one grade.
Speaker 3: Only three of us got A grades. It was Mookie
Speaker 3: Bett's Legacy team myself and endures with the number one projected.
Speaker 3: I'm excited to look at these insights.
Speaker 2: Though I was sandwich between both the top two. By
Speaker 2: the way, Durs and Mookie betts Legacy.
Speaker 1: Just say yeah. I can also tell you that Joe
Speaker 1: Piezapia liked my draft more than any other experts ken me. Again.
Speaker 1: Of course, Scott White didn't like it, Ariel Cohen didn't
Speaker 1: like it, but Eryl never likes my draft, so that's fine. Well,
Speaker 1: she liked your draft more than anybody else.
Speaker 3: Well, my dear friend Jesse Severe from Dynasty's Sports Life
Speaker 3: like this the most ario Cohen liked it the second most.
Speaker 3: He loved my judge pick their go Vier. Uh, he
Speaker 3: loved Goffman, and he loved Kirby, Brandon Myers, Travis Argo.
Speaker 3: And this is maybe the toughest thing to get to
Speaker 3: be liked. Mike Mayer liked my draft, which doesn't like
Speaker 3: anything that's Andy Barns hated me, Fred Zinki hated me.
Speaker 3: Want me in the garbage? Dalton Dell don all of Yahoo,
Speaker 3: I'm not having it. Just Scott White and keV also
Speaker 3: were in the hate group.
Speaker 1: Govier, any expert opinions there? Do you want to agree
Speaker 1: or disagree with?
Speaker 3: Uh?
Speaker 2: Boy?
Speaker 1: Am I business up to here?
Speaker 2: Am I supposed to see that? Somewhere?
Speaker 3: Are?
Speaker 1: You click on the projected standings button and then you
Speaker 1: get the projected standings and it gives you the experts
Speaker 1: that liked your draft, who liked it the most, I've
Speaker 1: got opinions?
Speaker 2: Oh, I see it, I see it.
Speaker 3: Okay, okay, are you ready?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Gott YEA, let's hear it. If you got it,
Speaker 1: let's go.
Speaker 2: Oh, I'm I'm locked out. You got him? Go ahead?
Speaker 3: So keV from Rodoballer loved your draft the most. Frank Amerant,
Speaker 3: Mike Mayer, Dalton Delle Don and Oh, I've never had
Speaker 3: this one. Kelly Kirby loved your draft, going wow. Scott
Speaker 3: Youngsen hated Jesse severe, hated Andy Barns. Nate Miller, who
Speaker 3: was in the draft also hated you and Peter Jesse.
Speaker 2: He would never say that too bad.
Speaker 1: All right, go Vier, Let's go through your team. You're
Speaker 1: our guest here on the program. Rutchman, Torklsen, Kim, Bobby Witt,
Speaker 1: Dela Cruz, Josh Naylor, Morel, harrisjre So, Olaier, Taylor, Ward, Parker, Meadows,
Speaker 1: Then Bohm, Gilbert Daval, Ryan, Clay Holmes, ro Don Hunter, Brown, Savali, Maida, Hunter, Harvey, Donovan, Walner, Durant,
Speaker 1: and Raphaela like to me, it feels like he got
Speaker 1: dinged on the pitchings. Is definitely some moments there where
Speaker 1: you don't have that one true big guy at the
Speaker 1: top of this rotation, No Castillo or Nola or Corbyn Burns.
Speaker 1: I think that's probably the only thing. The rest of
Speaker 1: the offense I think is a great team.
Speaker 2: I think my offense looks very tasty. Steels are locked
Speaker 2: in with Kim and Ellie alone, but I got other
Speaker 2: guys that can fill the void too. With morell he
Speaker 2: can steal some bags. So steels are good. Power is good.
Speaker 2: Like I said, I've got Torkelsen who's gonna repeat what
Speaker 2: he did and maybe top it this year. So the offense,
Speaker 2: I'm very satisfied with my pitching. I think it's okay.
Speaker 2: I really do. I think that we're gonna see good
Speaker 2: things for Rodn. People don't trust Carlos Roddan, so I
Speaker 2: understand why he wouldn't be highly valued by the general
Speaker 2: masses here. But overall, maybe I could have took a
Speaker 2: starting pitcher sooner, and maybe I shouldn't have taken Dovall
Speaker 2: like I did early on. But I like this team.
Speaker 2: I would roll out this team.
Speaker 1: I would all right, Welsh, Jonah him Gold, Schmidt, Turner,
Speaker 1: Oneo Cruz, Aeronado Chapman, a Dom's judge. And you've got
Speaker 1: Carter Riley, Green, McCormick, Otani, Kevin Gossman, Kirby, Dylan Cees, Fairbanks, Tanner,
Speaker 1: Scott You, Darbis, Brandon Fought, laclerk Bradley, Jared Kellna, Gavin Lux,
Speaker 1: Michael Walkett, and Josh Rojas. This is a good team,
Speaker 1: but I don't think it's better than mine. I disagree.
Speaker 1: I think I should have been ahead of you this
Speaker 1: with this time I'm here.
Speaker 3: You're wrong, and that's fine. You can be wrong. You
Speaker 3: can't be right about everything. I will just tell you
Speaker 3: that it's hard to sometimes put together a perfect team.
Speaker 3: But I did it here, and you guys should all
Speaker 3: feel lucky that you're in the presence of this greatness.
Speaker 3: I was projected top four in seven categories, runs, Homer's
Speaker 3: and RBI and then saves, k Era and whip. That's
Speaker 3: how you do it, boys.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was behind in strikeouts. That's kind of what
Speaker 1: hurt me. But again, I think this is more of
Speaker 1: a team to finishes strong when everybody's on the right path.
Speaker 1: Logan O'happy, Nolan Jones, Ozzy Alby's, Gunner Henderson, Michael Garcia, Hoskins, Volpi, Tuckers, Zuoki, Springer,
Speaker 1: Jad Martinez, varshow Then Glass, Now class Steel, Munos, Chris Sale,
Speaker 1: verland Er, Javier Dwardo, Rodriguez, Devin Williams, Camanaro, Surezer, Merrill, Schemes, Welsh.
Speaker 1: What do you think of this roster?
Speaker 3: Honestly, it's not as good as mine, But it is
Speaker 3: a very good roster joke. It's a great roster that the.
Speaker 1: Roster that picks up steam in July fourth, just short else.
Speaker 3: But it's good, it's good, it's it's almost good enough
Speaker 3: to be mine.
Speaker 1: But July fourth and on, I think this roster would go.
Speaker 1: We want to hear from you, though, Who do you
