1
00:00:05,240 --> 00:00:08,160
Speaker 1: Welcome in everybody to Fantasy Bros. MLB. This is the

2
00:00:08,200 --> 00:00:11,520
Speaker 1: Fantasy Baseball Podcast. Is Me, Joey p Joe, Pi Zipia,

3
00:00:11,560 --> 00:00:14,880
Speaker 1: and today we're gonna take a look at starting pictures.

4
00:00:14,920 --> 00:00:17,079
Speaker 1: That's right, the Ultimate Guide is back, but we're gonna

5
00:00:17,120 --> 00:00:19,560
Speaker 1: dig a little bit deeper with my good friend Nick

6
00:00:19,600 --> 00:00:21,960
Speaker 1: Pollock from Picture Lists. And who better to talk about

7
00:00:22,160 --> 00:00:24,759
Speaker 1: a deep list of pictures than literally a guy who

8
00:00:24,760 --> 00:00:27,280
Speaker 1: does nothing all day but make lists of pictures. This

9
00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:29,320
Speaker 1: is what he does. And as you can see, he's

10
00:00:29,360 --> 00:00:32,199
Speaker 1: also in transition. If you're watching on the YouTube channel,

11
00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:33,920
Speaker 1: make sure you subscribe. We're trying to get to twenty

12
00:00:33,920 --> 00:00:36,280
Speaker 1: five thousand, by the way, by opening day, that's our goal.

13
00:00:36,560 --> 00:00:40,440
Speaker 1: He is transitioning the bedroom office situation. There some living

14
00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:44,360
Speaker 1: arrangements changing for some wonderful reasons. But Nick Pollock, it's

15
00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:46,280
Speaker 1: like an episode of Property Brothers over.

16
00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:49,160
Speaker 2: There right now, Oh my gosh, let's just not talk

17
00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:52,360
Speaker 2: about that. I sound good though, I got the mica

18
00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:55,440
Speaker 2: and I got some random things to make sure just

19
00:00:55,520 --> 00:00:58,200
Speaker 2: for you, Joe, and I sound as good as I can.

20
00:00:58,240 --> 00:00:59,520
Speaker 2: Thank you so much for having me though. This is

21
00:00:59,840 --> 00:01:02,040
Speaker 2: the fun of the year where we spent all this

22
00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:04,280
Speaker 2: time for four or five months, just be like this

23
00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:06,880
Speaker 2: guy's right, this guy's right. And now we've got our

24
00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:08,800
Speaker 2: flash cars. We've got a little bits of like, this

25
00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:10,800
Speaker 2: is the thing that I care about with this guy

26
00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:13,039
Speaker 2: or not. This is why we do it. This is great.

27
00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:14,840
Speaker 1: Now. Our plan today is we're gonna go through the

28
00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:17,199
Speaker 1: tiers thirty one through fifty. Then we're gonna do fifty

29
00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:19,759
Speaker 1: one through seventy, and then seventy one through one hundred.

30
00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:22,520
Speaker 1: Then outside the top one hundred, we've each got some

31
00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:24,600
Speaker 1: guys that we're gonna outline, but really we're gonna pick

32
00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:26,679
Speaker 1: Nick's brain about a lot of these names here in

33
00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:28,560
Speaker 1: these tiers that you should be targeting in your fantasy

34
00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:31,880
Speaker 1: drafts upcoming. And I'm very happy because some of the

35
00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:35,440
Speaker 1: names that Nick put on his list are actually names

36
00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:37,319
Speaker 1: on my list too, So I feel really good about

37
00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:40,120
Speaker 1: It's nice when you know the guru agrees with you,

38
00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:43,399
Speaker 1: and sometimes we don't agree. That's what makes the fun shows.

39
00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:46,520
Speaker 1: Sometimes we do agree, and it makes me feel warm

40
00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:47,840
Speaker 1: and fuzzy when we do well.

41
00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:51,360
Speaker 2: Well, Joe, do you ever call yourself a Guruh?

42
00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:54,040
Speaker 1: No? I don't like any of those guru experts. Things

43
00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:56,520
Speaker 1: like that I'm an I'm a host and an analyst.

44
00:01:56,640 --> 00:01:56,960
Speaker 1: That's what.

45
00:01:57,120 --> 00:01:59,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, the guru is always for me, is always just

46
00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:01,000
Speaker 2: like I feel like I need to have like droopy

47
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:04,240
Speaker 2: clothing and I like earrings.

48
00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:06,400
Speaker 1: Smell like Patrulli. It's like a whole thing.

49
00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:08,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, in sense going and stuff, which is nothing wrong

50
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:09,920
Speaker 2: with that. There's a time and place for that.

51
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:11,919
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what. Man who knows we've got that

52
00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:13,640
Speaker 1: new office going in. You could put a hookah in,

53
00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:15,119
Speaker 1: you can do a lot of things going in there.

54
00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:18,440
Speaker 2: I could be options. But no, we're here to talk

55
00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:20,840
Speaker 2: about all these pictures. And I before I even begin,

56
00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:24,200
Speaker 2: I want to be very very clear. Is so difficult

57
00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:26,960
Speaker 2: to do a ranking that works for everybody listening. You

58
00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:30,120
Speaker 2: guys are in different leagues. You're in very shallow leagues.

59
00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:33,200
Speaker 2: You're in ale onlys or drafting holds and fifteen teamers.

60
00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:36,200
Speaker 2: And when I do my rankings, when I talk about guys,

61
00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:40,560
Speaker 2: I'm very specific to one format, which is your general

62
00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:43,959
Speaker 2: standard twelfth teamer, because thats what the majority of players

63
00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:47,840
Speaker 2: play in. And I have a moment in my drafts

64
00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:52,600
Speaker 2: that's around fifty five or so where I shift heavily

65
00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:56,120
Speaker 2: in what strategy you should be going for. So beginning

66
00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:57,880
Speaker 2: in like thirty to fifty or so is going to

67
00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:00,400
Speaker 2: be about, Hey, I want guys who I find cure,

68
00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:02,200
Speaker 2: who I think that their floor is going to be

69
00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:04,560
Speaker 2: still productive and I'm never going to drop them, and

70
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:06,880
Speaker 2: then they have upside for more on top of being

71
00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:08,920
Speaker 2: like an SB three or so, it can hopefully be

72
00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:11,679
Speaker 2: like an SB two SP one. And then after that

73
00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:15,240
Speaker 2: it's all about hunting for as much upside I can

74
00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:19,600
Speaker 2: decide on early in my draft because once you are

75
00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:22,560
Speaker 2: sorry not in my draft early in the season, because

76
00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:24,840
Speaker 2: you should be taking advantage of the waiver wire. This

77
00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:29,080
Speaker 2: is the most plentiful waiver wire we've ever seen for

78
00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:32,320
Speaker 2: starting pitchers. And instead of going for those boring guys

79
00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:34,880
Speaker 2: that like, yeah, sure the projections like it, that's fine

80
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:37,640
Speaker 2: for the entire year. To win a league, you don't

81
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:40,200
Speaker 2: want just value at that roster spot. You want to

82
00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:42,480
Speaker 2: beat it. You want to turn that SB seven into

83
00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:44,880
Speaker 2: an SB four by the end of the year. And

84
00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:47,600
Speaker 2: to do that you have to take risks, don't You

85
00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:50,560
Speaker 2: got to throw away projected innings and health concerns and

86
00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:52,160
Speaker 2: just be like, who is going to give me good

87
00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:55,040
Speaker 2: quality that I can figure out early my draft, and

88
00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:57,880
Speaker 2: that's around like fifty sixty or so of the starters

89
00:03:57,920 --> 00:03:59,760
Speaker 2: off the board. So I just want to preface that

90
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:03,080
Speaker 2: it's a great friend, because I've come on this show before,

91
00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:07,200
Speaker 2: Joe and I've gone into these ranking battles with this

92
00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:10,760
Speaker 2: and now it's fast and stuff, and that's just been

93
00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:14,280
Speaker 2: thrown out the window. So let's get it straightched.

94
00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:15,560
Speaker 1: I mean, you could look at it in the sense

95
00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:17,919
Speaker 1: of like you've defeated all oncomers and now it's just

96
00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:20,520
Speaker 1: you here chatter with me. I mean, you can tell

97
00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:22,920
Speaker 1: that to fast at least. Before we get going here,

111
00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:58,200
Speaker 1: all right, So here we go. Let's talk about the

112
00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:01,400
Speaker 1: guys thirty one through fifty. Now, this range has some

113
00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:03,360
Speaker 1: names on there that I feel like have a lot

114
00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:05,520
Speaker 1: of potential this year. You got the Roki Sazaki's at

115
00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:08,240
Speaker 1: thirty three. You've got Grayson Rodriguez at thirty five. Maybe

116
00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:10,200
Speaker 1: he's ready to finally be the mantle. It seems like

117
00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:13,239
Speaker 1: that's what the Orioles are counting on when you let

118
00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:18,360
Speaker 1: Gordman Burns leave, Hunter Brown terrible, April brilliant the rest

119
00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:21,359
Speaker 1: of his starts the rest of the year. You've also

120
00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:24,599
Speaker 1: got some guys who kind of reclaimed their careers last year,

121
00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:27,520
Speaker 1: guys like Jack Flaherty who bounced back. And then you've

122
00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:30,000
Speaker 1: got guys returning from injury like Sho Hael Tani is

123
00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:33,200
Speaker 1: just the pitcher. Shane mcclanahan's in this group, sandyel Conscios

124
00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:37,520
Speaker 1: in this group. So a really interesting composition thirty one

125
00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:39,919
Speaker 1: to fifty of names, all of which I feel like

126
00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:42,440
Speaker 1: at one time, either last year or in recent memory,

127
00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:44,719
Speaker 1: have been very productive. So I want to start with

128
00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:46,359
Speaker 1: one of your targets here, and it's a guy that

129
00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:48,719
Speaker 1: I am targeting in this group a great deal. He's

130
00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:51,320
Speaker 1: coming in currently right now as a thirty seventh pitcher

131
00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:54,520
Speaker 1: off the consensus board of ADP at Fantasy Pros Justin Steele.

132
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:57,000
Speaker 1: This is a guy who has pitched like an ace.

133
00:05:58,080 --> 00:05:59,960
Speaker 1: Even Aga is getting all the attentions still and ryfle

134
00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:02,600
Speaker 1: so he was terrific last year. The Cubs are all in.

135
00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:04,320
Speaker 1: I feel like they smell blood in the water in

136
00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:07,560
Speaker 1: this division. Steele when he's been healthy has been terrific

137
00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:10,400
Speaker 1: and it hasn't necessarily been arm injuries for Justin Steele.

138
00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:12,919
Speaker 1: That's also something I think people forget in that equation.

139
00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:15,359
Speaker 1: So why is Justin Steele a target for you in

140
00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:16,680
Speaker 1: this range in twenty twenty five?

141
00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:19,080
Speaker 2: I think it's pretty clear to me. I have this

142
00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:23,320
Speaker 2: little mini tier of pitchers actually right around the around

143
00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:28,600
Speaker 2: SB twenty that are your high volume pitchers who have

144
00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:31,479
Speaker 2: a good floor to them with I don't think they're

145
00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:33,640
Speaker 2: going to hurt you in ratios at a zer or

146
00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:36,920
Speaker 2: whip who also have a potential to go twenty five

147
00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:40,680
Speaker 2: percent strikeer rate or higher, and they aren't really known

148
00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:43,919
Speaker 2: as your thirty percent strikeout guys. Some people are afraid

149
00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:45,840
Speaker 2: that they might turn to a twenty percent, twenty one percent.

150
00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:48,800
Speaker 2: They're maybe a little bit about the ratios. But I

151
00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:52,719
Speaker 2: see Justin Steel as one of the more underrated pitchers

152
00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:56,599
Speaker 2: this year. And to put this in perspective, last year

153
00:06:56,680 --> 00:06:59,479
Speaker 2: opening Day, pulled the hamstring trying to fuel a ball

154
00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:03,000
Speaker 2: of the line and came back and needed some starts

155
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:05,520
Speaker 2: to really get back into his rhythm. And then at

156
00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:08,480
Speaker 2: the end of the year they shut him down entering

157
00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:12,840
Speaker 2: September because he had some elbow inflammation. No tears, no nothing.

158
00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:16,120
Speaker 2: It was so not a thing that he even started

159
00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:19,160
Speaker 2: two weeks later, and the Cubs clearly should have just

160
00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:21,640
Speaker 2: shut him down if there was any actual problem. So

161
00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:23,440
Speaker 2: if you take all the time in between them, it's

162
00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:26,600
Speaker 2: four months May twenty seventh to August twenty seventh for

163
00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:30,360
Speaker 2: Justin Steel two four five e arra one oh six

164
00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:34,360
Speaker 2: whip with a twenty six percent strikeout rate, and this

165
00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:38,400
Speaker 2: is over seventeen starts, one hundred and three innings. The

166
00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:41,680
Speaker 2: best stat though, is he has a thirty two percent

167
00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:44,720
Speaker 2: ICR in that time, And I know ICR. What is

168
00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:47,560
Speaker 2: this stat? You know, hard hit rate, you know, barrel rate.

169
00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:52,320
Speaker 2: ICR stands for ideal contact rate. Essentially takes all of

170
00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:54,640
Speaker 2: those and says, hey, there's also these players and burners.

171
00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:57,680
Speaker 2: There's also the solid contact anything that's good for the hitter,

172
00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:00,320
Speaker 2: and as a pitcher, you want that to be really low.

173
00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:02,720
Speaker 2: What we normally see is like a forty percent rate

174
00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:05,680
Speaker 2: and above that is just like, oh man thirty two

175
00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:07,920
Speaker 2: is one of the best in the majors.

176
00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:08,440
Speaker 1: Wow.

177
00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:13,320
Speaker 2: So what Justin Steele does is he gets strikeouts, he

178
00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:17,920
Speaker 2: gets volume, he doesn't allow hits. He has a seven

179
00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:23,080
Speaker 2: percent walk rate in that time. This guy's amazing. He

180
00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:25,960
Speaker 2: does it with a fastball that changes shape as he

181
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:29,600
Speaker 2: wants to, says straight upstairs, and then uses cut action

182
00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:32,560
Speaker 2: against Righty's inside two different types of sliders, a harder

183
00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:35,280
Speaker 2: one and the bigger one. He's really good at what

184
00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:39,160
Speaker 2: he does. He's so stable in a fantastic floor. I

185
00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:40,880
Speaker 2: want Justin Steel everywhere. It's easy.

186
00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:44,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, me too. I love him as like a combo.

187
00:08:44,679 --> 00:08:46,839
Speaker 1: When I'm starting my you know, rotations out there is

188
00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:50,760
Speaker 1: my number two and oftentimes I'm getting him there off

189
00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:52,679
Speaker 1: the charts. Also friend of the channel. He's been on

190
00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:55,160
Speaker 1: our NFL show because he's a big fantasy football guy

191
00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:57,280
Speaker 1: that's also a sport. Nick Pollock, I don't know if

192
00:08:57,320 --> 00:08:59,680
Speaker 1: you're familiar. Yeah, I know I am, unfortunately, but he's

193
00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:02,280
Speaker 1: a big fan of the football podcast, so we had

194
00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:04,040
Speaker 1: him on for a mock draft. I'd love to get

195
00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:05,880
Speaker 1: him on to talk about baseball. It's hard to get

196
00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:07,760
Speaker 1: the baseball guys on to talk about baseball. They want

197
00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:09,959
Speaker 1: to come on to talk about football. It's a crazy

198
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:12,200
Speaker 1: world we live in. Another guy that's on your list

199
00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:14,920
Speaker 1: is Jared Jones, who last year and when he started

200
00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:19,360
Speaker 1: the season pretty strong beginning three five six ERA was

201
00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:22,640
Speaker 1: first sixteen starts, ninety one innings, one point one zero

202
00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:26,360
Speaker 1: whip good, strikeout rate nine point seven k's per nine.

203
00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:28,959
Speaker 1: Then in the second half a five eight seven ERA

204
00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:31,840
Speaker 1: over six starts, only thirty innings. Obviously, we know how

205
00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:34,400
Speaker 1: the season ended for him. So what is it that

206
00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:36,560
Speaker 1: you're seeing out of Jared Jones when you're looking year

207
00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:38,600
Speaker 1: over year that makes you encourage that he could return

208
00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:41,000
Speaker 1: this investment, because in all fairness, he is going in

209
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:44,200
Speaker 1: that same range as some other guys that have been,

210
00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:45,920
Speaker 1: you know, out there in the major leagues. Let's say

211
00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:48,440
Speaker 1: the Kevin Gosman types. Right, Maybe a down year for Gosmin,

212
00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:50,400
Speaker 1: but a guy that's done it a few times now.

213
00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:52,840
Speaker 1: So why Jared Jones instead of a guy like Gosman

214
00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:53,440
Speaker 1: as a target?

215
00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:57,679
Speaker 2: Oh, Man, Gosman is your your bust candidate. I mean

216
00:09:57,960 --> 00:09:58,240
Speaker 2: he has.

217
00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:00,240
Speaker 1: I don't disagree with you. I'm just using him as

218
00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:00,760
Speaker 1: an example.

219
00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:01,840
Speaker 2: Oh, I know, I know, I know.

220
00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:05,760
Speaker 1: You know. This guy's proven Jones very tempting.

221
00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:08,200
Speaker 2: Well, this is what makes it so fun for Jared

222
00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:10,560
Speaker 2: Jones is that he's going around someone like Kevin Gosman

223
00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:14,280
Speaker 2: who doesn't have that kind of ceiling. I think that

224
00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:17,600
Speaker 2: Jared Jones actually has at this point because Gosman is

225
00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:20,720
Speaker 2: still going to be a whip problem. Eurray is still

226
00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:23,160
Speaker 2: kind of in question and we saw his splitter get

227
00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:24,840
Speaker 2: worse last year. Day were claiming by the end. But

228
00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:28,400
Speaker 2: there's their question marks with Kevin Gosman. This way, while

229
00:10:28,400 --> 00:10:30,920
Speaker 2: we see Jared Jones and generally when he comes to

230
00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:36,240
Speaker 2: these explosive rookie seasons from guys I we see in

231
00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:39,600
Speaker 2: a sophomore year them add some of those elements that

232
00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:41,760
Speaker 2: we're looking for from them. Yes, there are times that

233
00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:44,240
Speaker 2: we see a great rookie year and it just never replicates.

234
00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:47,160
Speaker 2: Usually that's because they don't have overall amazing stuff. They

235
00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:50,560
Speaker 2: really squeezed as much as they possibly could out of

236
00:10:50,559 --> 00:10:52,840
Speaker 2: what they offer. That's not the case with Jared Jones.

237
00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:55,280
Speaker 2: He's a four singer slider guy. Both of them get

238
00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:57,400
Speaker 2: a lot of strikes. Both of them should earn a

239
00:10:57,440 --> 00:10:59,839
Speaker 2: lot of whiffs. When we saw on the second half

240
00:10:59,840 --> 00:11:02,640
Speaker 2: of last year we had a last strain from from

241
00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:04,920
Speaker 2: Jared Jones, it messed him up a bit, it delayed him.

242
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:06,520
Speaker 2: You think he got a little more fatigued by the

243
00:11:06,559 --> 00:11:09,320
Speaker 2: end too, and he just didn't get into that groove

244
00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:10,960
Speaker 2: by the end. It was really kind of tough to

245
00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:13,199
Speaker 2: start him in September last year. But again it was

246
00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:16,400
Speaker 2: still really two pitch, and the biggest thing with Jared Jones, like,

247
00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:18,560
Speaker 2: oh hey man, you just got to add like something

248
00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:21,240
Speaker 2: else that you can confidently throw for strikes in there

249
00:11:21,559 --> 00:11:23,960
Speaker 2: against left handers and against right handers. Jared Jones is

250
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:26,520
Speaker 2: doing that. He tried to hide it. Handed Mers had

251
00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:29,480
Speaker 2: a fantastic interview with Jered Jones because she asked the

252
00:11:29,559 --> 00:11:32,840
Speaker 2: right questions of oh I've got a secret pitch. He's like, oh, okay,

253
00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:33,880
Speaker 2: you don't have to tell me the pitch. But is

254
00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:35,600
Speaker 2: it going to be against right handers or left handers?

255
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:37,240
Speaker 2: And he said, oh, yeah, it's going to be used

256
00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:40,079
Speaker 2: against right handers maybe eventually left handers. Which is a sinker.

257
00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:43,560
Speaker 2: We got you, Jared, and yeah, he threw five of

258
00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:46,920
Speaker 2: them in his first ring start. That's perfect because what

259
00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:49,880
Speaker 2: Jery Jones needs is batters to think, oh, this isn't

260
00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:51,560
Speaker 2: the four seamer, this is actually the sinker. They need

261
00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:54,240
Speaker 2: to have that extra layer of hesitation. He will also

262
00:11:54,280 --> 00:11:57,520
Speaker 2: make it more efficient because sinker's earlier on accounts generally

263
00:11:57,679 --> 00:11:59,920
Speaker 2: induced outs. If you're able to locate inside Jared Jones,

264
00:11:59,920 --> 00:12:01,679
Speaker 2: I do trust would be able to do that a

265
00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:03,959
Speaker 2: decent rate, and then you still have of course, it's

266
00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:06,920
Speaker 2: amazing with heavy four seamer insider as well. He's working

267
00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:10,200
Speaker 2: on the curveball in the change up to go against lefties.

268
00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:11,800
Speaker 2: I think Jerry Jones is just gonna be a better

269
00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:15,280
Speaker 2: version of himself in twenty twenty five. And we all

270
00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:17,160
Speaker 2: saw the ceiling of this. Oh yeah, I think you're

271
00:12:17,160 --> 00:12:18,880
Speaker 2: going to have a lot more stability with it it's a

272
00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:23,240
Speaker 2: second season with more stamina involved. After one year of

273
00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:25,560
Speaker 2: doing this, Jared Jones was ready to explode. And I

274
00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:27,079
Speaker 2: think there's a lot of guys in this tier that

275
00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:29,880
Speaker 2: are very boring and are like, Okay, you're drafting them

276
00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:32,280
Speaker 2: as an S before and you might get an S before,

277
00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:35,760
Speaker 2: and you don't want to leave your drafts with equal value.

278
00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:37,960
Speaker 2: You know, if you leave your draft at two hundred

279
00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:39,960
Speaker 2: and sixty dollars value after spending two hundred and sixty,

280
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:42,240
Speaker 2: you're going to go sixth place in your league. You

281
00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:45,040
Speaker 2: gotta actually try to win it. And Jared Jones is

282
00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:48,880
Speaker 2: the kind of guy that can absolutely overperform his value. Well,

283
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:51,000
Speaker 2: you're never gonna drop him. You're not going to drop

284
00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:54,000
Speaker 2: Jared Jones this year. So I feel really comfortable going

285
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:56,400
Speaker 2: for Jared Jones' is my sp three s before I was.

286
00:12:56,760 --> 00:12:59,080
Speaker 1: I remember last year on leading off, you know, he

287
00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:01,360
Speaker 1: was on that run. I kept asking like do we

288
00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:03,760
Speaker 1: trade him? Like do we sell high? It was so difficult,

289
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:05,319
Speaker 1: you know, and if he ended up selling high, you

290
00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:07,600
Speaker 1: ended up doing really well because the second half obviously

291
00:13:07,679 --> 00:13:11,079
Speaker 1: just didn't work out health guys, and obviously performance wise,

292
00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:13,920
Speaker 1: but it was difficult because he was so dominant early on,

293
00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:16,440
Speaker 1: and you know sometimes that happens with the young pitchers

294
00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:17,880
Speaker 1: two and then you know they get a little bit

295
00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:19,880
Speaker 1: more exposed in the league. That happens, but also they

296
00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:22,040
Speaker 1: hit that innings. Well, there's a lot of those variables

297
00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:24,880
Speaker 1: in that discussion. They're also you know, it's interesting too

298
00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:26,760
Speaker 1: because you look at the organization. They got the bubble

299
00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:29,680
Speaker 1: Chandler's coming through that organization too. And there's been even

300
00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:31,600
Speaker 1: in the off season, there was some discussion of like, ooh,

301
00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:34,160
Speaker 1: is Jones a guy we might dangle out there. If

302
00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:36,280
Speaker 1: I was the Orioles, I'd be all over him. They

303
00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:39,840
Speaker 1: have a glut of all these offensive prospects. The Pirates

304
00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:42,000
Speaker 1: could use some more offense. They've got a lot of

305
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:44,920
Speaker 1: pitching coming through. To me, that's something that just makes

306
00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:46,200
Speaker 1: it just makes a ton of sense.

307
00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:48,760
Speaker 2: Orioles getting on twenty teams that the Orioles should be

308
00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:51,360
Speaker 2: calling to trade. And how many guys.

309
00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:53,360
Speaker 1: Can you play in the in the infield Baltimore. I

310
00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:55,080
Speaker 1: I don't know, so.

311
00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:58,480
Speaker 2: Let's go get Trevor Rodgers. It doesn't make sense to me.

312
00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:00,240
Speaker 2: I'm so sorry, Orioles fans. We actually put on an

313
00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:05,560
Speaker 2: article about Michael Lias back in November about how the

314
00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:07,800
Speaker 2: ownership is. We have a very trusted source for this.

315
00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:12,800
Speaker 2: The ownership said, hey, I'm new, I have money, Please

316
00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:14,640
Speaker 2: spend the money. Michael Liais is like, nah, I'm good.

317
00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:17,000
Speaker 2: I want to I want to be like the Rays.

318
00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:19,440
Speaker 1: No, it's that's crazy. I mean it just it makes

319
00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:22,160
Speaker 1: sense for the pirates too, like you want to support schemes.

320
00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:23,640
Speaker 1: You want to support some of these guys that you're

321
00:14:23,640 --> 00:14:24,960
Speaker 1: going to have in the front of this rotation for

322
00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:25,560
Speaker 1: years to come.

323
00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:27,880
Speaker 2: But I know how crazy this seems. I would not

324
00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:30,720
Speaker 2: be saying this if the source wasn't rock Steady.

325
00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:32,960
Speaker 1: So no, I know it doesn't incrust you.

326
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:36,800
Speaker 2: Guys have seen how the Oriols did not spend. Yeah,

327
00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:39,000
Speaker 2: off team Charlie Morton.

328
00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:41,920
Speaker 1: There it is, guys, Charlie Morton. When pictures are the

329
00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:44,320
Speaker 1: same age almost as me, it might be time to

330
00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:46,600
Speaker 1: be looking for a different strategy. I'm just saying, just saying,

331
00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:49,160
Speaker 1: no offense to Charlie. Got mad respect for the guy.

332
00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:52,000
Speaker 1: But another guy in this tier before we move on

333
00:14:52,040 --> 00:14:55,040
Speaker 1: to the next one that you have pinpointed is Sandy

334
00:14:55,080 --> 00:14:56,600
Speaker 1: en Contra. Who's a guy that I have in my

335
00:14:56,640 --> 00:14:58,800
Speaker 1: Homekeeper League. I picked up last year for a buck

336
00:14:58,840 --> 00:15:01,600
Speaker 1: and just wanted to sit and wait, and I got

337
00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:04,000
Speaker 1: him and McClanahan, I got him for two bucks and

338
00:15:04,040 --> 00:15:06,280
Speaker 1: a Contra because people just forgot. You know, it's a

339
00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:08,920
Speaker 1: keeper league, so people had just forgotten that they were

340
00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:11,720
Speaker 1: floating around there, and I had them in the queue

341
00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:13,760
Speaker 1: and I was just waiting till nobody else had any cash.

342
00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:15,440
Speaker 1: And then I was like, boom, boom boom, I'll get

343
00:15:15,480 --> 00:15:17,080
Speaker 1: to take these two guys. And then because I was

344
00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:19,440
Speaker 1: in the rebuilding that league anyway, after being competitive for

345
00:15:19,480 --> 00:15:22,920
Speaker 1: about four years, and it's interesting you chose Al Contra

346
00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:26,520
Speaker 1: over McClanahan. Mclanahan's more time to recover. I love both

347
00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:29,200
Speaker 1: these guys. A Contra to me was just so such

348
00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:31,840
Speaker 1: a workhorse, consistent over two hundred innings twice something you

349
00:15:31,920 --> 00:15:34,600
Speaker 1: never see a cy young in twenty twenty two. So

350
00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:38,440
Speaker 1: I'm curious why Ald Contara and then why Ald Katara

351
00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:41,040
Speaker 1: over a guy like McClanahan, just in terms of like

352
00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:42,160
Speaker 1: how you cherry pick them.

353
00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:45,960
Speaker 2: Sure, I'll actually start with the latter for a couple

354
00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:49,760
Speaker 2: of reasons. One, I'll Contra, sorry, Al Kantara is cheaper,

355
00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:53,960
Speaker 2: he's going thirty picks later, which is just nicer. That

356
00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:55,600
Speaker 2: means I don't have to feel like I need to

357
00:15:55,640 --> 00:16:01,000
Speaker 2: get Al Kantara the same time as McClanahan. Also mcclanahan's

358
00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:06,200
Speaker 2: workload I actually have less confidence in with the rays

359
00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:11,160
Speaker 2: being the rays, and it's also different types of workload.

360
00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:15,840
Speaker 2: So I with al Kantara, what's so interesting is he's

361
00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:17,640
Speaker 2: already throwing ninety nine. I mean, he was in the

362
00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:19,400
Speaker 2: bullpen in September that got a site. But like you

363
00:16:19,480 --> 00:16:20,720
Speaker 2: just came out on spring training. I was like, yeah,

364
00:16:20,760 --> 00:16:23,440
Speaker 2: I've got it, it's fine, We're all good. And Craig

365
00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:25,640
Speaker 2: Mish came out with a report that there are no

366
00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:32,200
Speaker 2: restrictions for al Kantara this year, which is unreal, but okay,

367
00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:36,480
Speaker 2: all right then, okay.

368
00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:38,240
Speaker 1: Now miss a friend of mine for many many years.

369
00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:39,960
Speaker 1: I mean that's how I started this business, Craig and

370
00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:42,720
Speaker 1: I doing shows together. So do you think that's also

371
00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:46,000
Speaker 1: sending that flag out to everybody else, like, hey, he's

372
00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:49,160
Speaker 1: got no restrictions, he's available, come get him, because where

373
00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:49,760
Speaker 1: the Marrow.

374
00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:54,040
Speaker 2: And I actually even proposed they do a reverse Gara crochet, which.

375
00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:56,520
Speaker 1: Is they they actually limit him sometimes.

376
00:16:56,080 --> 00:16:59,480
Speaker 2: In the first half of the season and then saying, great,

377
00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:02,920
Speaker 2: trade Dune. He's all ready for you, you know, but

378
00:17:03,520 --> 00:17:08,119
Speaker 2: doesn't look like that. And I love this. It's also

379
00:17:08,680 --> 00:17:12,840
Speaker 2: in twelve teamers, the mindset should be the roster spot

380
00:17:12,960 --> 00:17:16,000
Speaker 2: shouldn't necessarily be the player. And the reason for that

381
00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:18,480
Speaker 2: is you have a guy like out Katara and you're saying, well,

382
00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:20,480
Speaker 2: if they're going to keep throwing him six seven innings,

383
00:17:20,480 --> 00:17:22,720
Speaker 2: eventually he's not gonna be able to carry that workload

384
00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:26,080
Speaker 2: in he will get hurt again. That is different than

385
00:17:26,680 --> 00:17:31,520
Speaker 2: Sean mcclanahan's innings being overseen and stretched out over a

386
00:17:31,520 --> 00:17:34,040
Speaker 2: full season at one point fifty because what sounds like

387
00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:37,119
Speaker 2: to me is that if Kantara goes and let's say

388
00:17:37,119 --> 00:17:38,800
Speaker 2: he goes one hundred and fifty innings, it's not because

389
00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:41,840
Speaker 2: the Marlins limited him. It's because he's not pitching anymore

390
00:17:41,840 --> 00:17:45,399
Speaker 2: in August or September. That means you get that roster

391
00:17:45,480 --> 00:17:47,240
Speaker 2: spot back to fill it with something else off of

392
00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:50,679
Speaker 2: your waiver wire. So that is a huge value boost

393
00:17:50,680 --> 00:17:53,640
Speaker 2: in my view. It's why actually I'm favoring Strider, It's

394
00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:56,440
Speaker 2: why I'm favoring de Gram more than what you'll see

395
00:17:56,440 --> 00:17:59,359
Speaker 2: from a projection system, and it's maybe a little bit

396
00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:01,080
Speaker 2: with glass because the dater is gonna be weird I

397
00:18:01,080 --> 00:18:03,679
Speaker 2: think with laws now. But so these guys are gonna

398
00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:06,359
Speaker 2: go until they can't and then you get to replace it.

399
00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:09,080
Speaker 2: That's a roster spot open and it should really be

400
00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:12,960
Speaker 2: the replacement value projection plus their innings one, which is

401
00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:15,240
Speaker 2: a fun concept that I'll talk about another time. I

402
00:18:15,280 --> 00:18:19,080
Speaker 2: love Alkantara. I think he's incredible. He throws super hard,

403
00:18:19,359 --> 00:18:23,040
Speaker 2: has a change up and slider, the Missus bats. It's

404
00:18:23,119 --> 00:18:25,760
Speaker 2: just great. The only downside here is that it's the

405
00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:28,280
Speaker 2: Marlins winds are gonna be a little bit tougher. If

406
00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:30,040
Speaker 2: he's still going deep into games, you still should get

407
00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:33,280
Speaker 2: decent amounts like such a harmful like three wins the

408
00:18:33,359 --> 00:18:36,120
Speaker 2: entire year. And also, I don't know if I love

409
00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:40,080
Speaker 2: Zabra Edwards at short Hopefully he's not gonna be there.

410
00:18:40,280 --> 00:18:45,080
Speaker 2: I don't know that's a hitter. But if he is

411
00:18:45,080 --> 00:18:46,360
Speaker 2: there in that defense, that is.

412
00:18:46,320 --> 00:18:48,639
Speaker 1: Going to be to talk about that.

413
00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:52,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's not gonna be a fun defense to pitch

414
00:18:52,600 --> 00:18:54,040
Speaker 2: in front of, which might mean that his hit for

415
00:18:54,160 --> 00:18:57,080
Speaker 2: nine and his whip take a larger hit than it

416
00:18:57,160 --> 00:18:59,440
Speaker 2: used to be. For all, Kantara is still again a

417
00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:01,800
Speaker 2: guy that you're not going to drop, and I think

418
00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:05,760
Speaker 2: he's going to win at times too.

419
00:19:04,840 --> 00:19:09,119
Speaker 1: I think it's about Sandy too, is that you know

420
00:19:09,160 --> 00:19:11,520
Speaker 1: he doesn't have to strike out everybody. You know, you

421
00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:14,280
Speaker 1: look at the strikeout like he can. That's not his game.

422
00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:16,480
Speaker 1: Like it's almost like a throwback to that Roy Holliday

423
00:19:16,560 --> 00:19:19,359
Speaker 1: kind of style where it's like, you know where you

424
00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:21,399
Speaker 1: look at the holiday numbers, you go, he could strike

425
00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:23,720
Speaker 1: at mark guys. But he's trying to be efficient. He's

426
00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:26,120
Speaker 1: trying to get into the later, into the bullpen. He's

427
00:19:26,119 --> 00:19:30,080
Speaker 1: trying to get w's and find the outs in lineups,

428
00:19:30,119 --> 00:19:32,239
Speaker 1: which is the art of pitching, which is a bit

429
00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:33,720
Speaker 1: a bit of a lost art I feel like, and

430
00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:35,360
Speaker 1: that's not the guy he was when he came up.

431
00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:37,520
Speaker 1: I want to keep going because I know we only

432
00:19:37,560 --> 00:19:38,800
Speaker 1: have a certain amount of time here to get all

433
00:19:38,840 --> 00:19:41,560

445
00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:16,880
Speaker 1: one through seventy. Now some really interesting names here. We've

446
00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:19,560
Speaker 1: got some upside guys here obviously, and some guys that

447
00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:23,640
Speaker 1: are maybe just guys. The first guy that you've targeted

448
00:20:23,680 --> 00:20:27,120
Speaker 1: here to talk about is Robbie Ray. Now another guy

449
00:20:27,160 --> 00:20:30,840
Speaker 1: returning from Tommy John, another guy that's got high strikeout potential.

450
00:20:30,920 --> 00:20:33,280
Speaker 1: What is exciting to you about Robbie Ray? Now that

451
00:20:33,320 --> 00:20:36,320
Speaker 1: we are further removed and could this be the best

452
00:20:36,400 --> 00:20:38,400
Speaker 1: version potentially we get of Robbie Ray?

453
00:20:38,760 --> 00:20:41,320
Speaker 2: Absolutely and now he saw him healthy and ready to

454
00:20:41,359 --> 00:20:43,359
Speaker 2: go as bloss He came back up with the Giants

455
00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:46,080
Speaker 2: last year. I like the team context. I like the

456
00:20:46,119 --> 00:20:48,919
Speaker 2: Giants are going to let him go deep into games.

457
00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:51,919
Speaker 2: Good team around him not necessarily the greatest offense, but

458
00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:53,720
Speaker 2: a good defense in general, and he should get a

459
00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:57,000
Speaker 2: fair number of wins. Strikeouts should be plentiful. He's always

460
00:20:57,040 --> 00:21:00,760
Speaker 2: flirting with a thirty percent strikeout rate. And I love

461
00:21:00,840 --> 00:21:04,000
Speaker 2: the fact that he's now learning Trek Scooble's change up.

462
00:21:04,119 --> 00:21:06,680
Speaker 2: It's really been this element that he's missed in his game,

463
00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:11,840
Speaker 2: where he has the fastball slider curve that destroy lefties. Fine,

464
00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:15,280
Speaker 2: but it can be a little volatile against right handers

465
00:21:15,320 --> 00:21:18,040
Speaker 2: because you really need to nail that slider down and inside,

466
00:21:18,119 --> 00:21:21,879
Speaker 2: underneath the nitro zone, which is essentially inside the strike zone,

467
00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:23,199
Speaker 2: but down and in and you have to go right

468
00:21:23,320 --> 00:21:25,720
Speaker 2: underneath that and then you get them. But a change

469
00:21:25,760 --> 00:21:28,800
Speaker 2: up is just the destroyer of right handers these days.

470
00:21:28,840 --> 00:21:30,640
Speaker 2: We see this all the time, from like from schoobl

471
00:21:30,680 --> 00:21:33,080
Speaker 2: from Reagan's, from even Tyler Anderson. How does he do

472
00:21:33,119 --> 00:21:35,960
Speaker 2: a thing? It's because of that change up, right, chrispher Sanchez.

473
00:21:35,960 --> 00:21:39,240
Speaker 2: There's so many lefties with these change ups that destroy

474
00:21:39,680 --> 00:21:41,200
Speaker 2: and you have that to Robbi Ray, you can throw

475
00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:43,960
Speaker 2: that sixty percent of the time for strikes. I mean,

476
00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:47,720
Speaker 2: he's got it made. I think this is such an

477
00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:50,159
Speaker 2: easy play of yeah, you aren't going to get the

478
00:21:50,280 --> 00:21:54,400
Speaker 2: ratios that should hurt you. He's been much better than

479
00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:58,439
Speaker 2: his former self since that last year in Toronto and

480
00:21:58,440 --> 00:22:00,720
Speaker 2: then moving over to the Mariners, and really I'm not

481
00:22:00,760 --> 00:22:03,520
Speaker 2: seeing anything from last year that suggests that Robbie Ray

482
00:22:03,560 --> 00:22:08,000
Speaker 2: isn't that guy. Still. I love this, especially at fifty six.

483
00:22:08,080 --> 00:22:11,560
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh. Yeah, I have him at like thirty

484
00:22:11,840 --> 00:22:15,800
Speaker 2: in MISP rankings. So all day, am I getting Robbie

485
00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:18,560
Speaker 2: Ray If he's going at one eight seven, one hundred

486
00:22:18,600 --> 00:22:20,639
Speaker 2: and eighty seven in my drafts? Oh that's a steal.

487
00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:23,560
Speaker 1: I don't disagree. I know some people are trying to

488
00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:25,520
Speaker 1: draft him last year. I hope they get something at

489
00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:27,280
Speaker 1: the very end of the year, but you know, this

490
00:22:27,400 --> 00:22:29,359
Speaker 1: year seems like the time to be targeting him, and

491
00:22:29,520 --> 00:22:32,080
Speaker 1: I'm a little surprised. I think it if he has

492
00:22:32,119 --> 00:22:34,120
Speaker 1: a couple of big spring outings in the next couple weeks,

493
00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:36,600
Speaker 1: I wouldn't be shocked if Robby Ray starts ticking up

494
00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:40,399
Speaker 1: and breaking that top fifty. But right now, at the

495
00:22:40,440 --> 00:22:42,879
Speaker 1: fifty six pitcher going off the board, I think I

496
00:22:42,920 --> 00:22:45,280
Speaker 1: agree with you. A big value Spencer Aarraghetti of the

497
00:22:45,359 --> 00:22:47,440
Speaker 1: Houston Astros the next guy on the list of talk about.

498
00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:49,760
Speaker 1: Now last year he had an ERA above four and

499
00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:52,240
Speaker 1: a half. All the deeper metrics tell you that probably

500
00:22:52,240 --> 00:22:55,160
Speaker 1: should have been closer to four, which is again not ideal.

501
00:22:55,800 --> 00:22:59,040
Speaker 1: But this is a kid still, this is a young pitcher.

502
00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:01,760
Speaker 1: Houston Astros are still going to be a competitive baseball team.

503
00:23:02,359 --> 00:23:04,840
Speaker 1: When you start studying Araghetty, what jumped out to you

504
00:23:04,920 --> 00:23:06,680
Speaker 1: in terms of why you think he could be useful

505
00:23:06,680 --> 00:23:07,119
Speaker 1: this season?

506
00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:10,359
Speaker 2: Oh oh, this is pretty easy. I first and foremost

507
00:23:10,640 --> 00:23:14,480
Speaker 2: Aragedty wasn't the guy that you know until midway through

508
00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:18,360
Speaker 2: the year. He was obviously coming up and struggling. And

509
00:23:18,560 --> 00:23:21,040
Speaker 2: it's just what what these guys do? I call it

510
00:23:21,080 --> 00:23:25,720
Speaker 2: the shag rug. It's a young man's floor, right Where.

511
00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:27,600
Speaker 1: Is that what you got going on in the office

512
00:23:27,640 --> 00:23:27,879
Speaker 1: right now?

513
00:23:27,920 --> 00:23:31,600
Speaker 2: While yeah, I know, actually, because it's actually really good sound,

514
00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:37,760
Speaker 2: I'm removing echo. But no, it's it helps massively. Okay,

515
00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:39,920
Speaker 2: everybody should do that for their audio. No. All I'm

516
00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:42,159
Speaker 2: trying to get at is he has his run of

517
00:23:42,160 --> 00:23:44,600
Speaker 2: fourteen games last year, there was a three eight e

518
00:23:44,920 --> 00:23:47,240
Speaker 2: one eighteen twenty nine percent strike every that was his

519
00:23:47,280 --> 00:23:50,160
Speaker 2: final seventy nine frames seventy six frames, I should say,

520
00:23:50,600 --> 00:23:53,840
Speaker 2: and now Aragedy is in a phenomenal situation. He's on

521
00:23:53,920 --> 00:23:57,399
Speaker 2: the Astros, which you want to be as a starting pitcher.

522
00:23:57,480 --> 00:23:59,280
Speaker 2: You want to be a starter for the Astros. They

523
00:23:59,359 --> 00:24:01,879
Speaker 2: let their guys go longer in games, they have a

524
00:24:01,880 --> 00:24:05,200
Speaker 2: good defense behind them, they have a solid offense. It's

525
00:24:05,200 --> 00:24:09,480
Speaker 2: a great situation. And when Aragedy has five pitches, I

526
00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:12,760
Speaker 2: mean he has multiple whiff offerings, which is great. He's

527
00:24:12,760 --> 00:24:14,560
Speaker 2: got this curbball, he trusts a ton, he's got a

528
00:24:14,560 --> 00:24:16,199
Speaker 2: slider in there, he's got a cut up for strikes.

529
00:24:16,200 --> 00:24:18,600
Speaker 2: He's got sometimes change of this shows up. He's got

530
00:24:18,640 --> 00:24:21,040
Speaker 2: to forcing him that's very flat, which essentially means that

531
00:24:21,040 --> 00:24:22,960
Speaker 2: it should get wifs at the top of the zone effectively,

532
00:24:23,280 --> 00:24:26,320
Speaker 2: like he has all the tools, and initially he struggled

533
00:24:26,320 --> 00:24:28,479
Speaker 2: throwing strikes with them, and he got much better as

534
00:24:28,480 --> 00:24:31,359
Speaker 2: the season went on. I also, I hate saying this

535
00:24:31,440 --> 00:24:34,040
Speaker 2: kind of stuff because this is like pseudo analysis. But

536
00:24:34,840 --> 00:24:38,440
Speaker 2: I've I've read interviews with Aragedy. I love the way

537
00:24:38,440 --> 00:24:39,280
Speaker 2: that he thinks.

538
00:24:39,960 --> 00:24:40,639
Speaker 1: He is a.

539
00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:46,879
Speaker 2: Very good cerebral pitcher in that he's aware of what

540
00:24:46,920 --> 00:24:49,760
Speaker 2: he needs to be doing, making the small tweaks, really

541
00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:52,119
Speaker 2: attentive to the details of it, and a lot of

542
00:24:52,160 --> 00:24:53,600
Speaker 2: times we see guys that go, oh no, I just

543
00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:55,320
Speaker 2: got to be me whatever, this is what was made

544
00:24:55,359 --> 00:24:57,680
Speaker 2: me successful. I need to be you know, he's he's

545
00:24:57,720 --> 00:24:59,720
Speaker 2: dumb enough to be an all star kind of thing, right,

546
00:25:00,320 --> 00:25:04,359
Speaker 2: But Aragedy actually had that conversation in the middle of

547
00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:07,600
Speaker 2: the season, and then you see the impact that it

548
00:25:07,640 --> 00:25:10,879
Speaker 2: had after that. So I love ARAGEDI here, and we're

549
00:25:10,920 --> 00:25:13,680
Speaker 2: also past pick two hundred and what I was saying

550
00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:15,840
Speaker 2: before at the beginning of this, we're at that point

551
00:25:15,880 --> 00:25:17,840
Speaker 2: that you should already have four starters that you trust,

552
00:25:17,840 --> 00:25:20,960
Speaker 2: that you know you're not dropping, not five. Honestly, concerning

553
00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:23,560
Speaker 2: how deep it goes this year, Rageddy would then be

554
00:25:23,680 --> 00:25:26,800
Speaker 2: your SB six in a twelve teamer. That is the

555
00:25:26,960 --> 00:25:29,400
Speaker 2: perfect guy to go for. If it's not there, if

556
00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:32,399
Speaker 2: he doesn't have his command or really his control early

557
00:25:32,480 --> 00:25:35,199
Speaker 2: in the season, you just drop him and you move on.

558
00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:37,639
Speaker 2: It's not there, it won't work, and it's going to

559
00:25:37,680 --> 00:25:39,880
Speaker 2: be a hipster, a headache inducing pictures, stifling the tire

560
00:25:40,040 --> 00:25:42,520
Speaker 2: roster if you hold on to him. Okay, you don't

561
00:25:42,520 --> 00:25:44,560
Speaker 2: want hipsters on your team. So you'll be able to

562
00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:48,760
Speaker 2: make a quick decision on aragedy and then if it's good,

563
00:25:48,840 --> 00:25:50,800
Speaker 2: you got yourself a stud. If it's not, you're at

564
00:25:50,880 --> 00:25:53,200
Speaker 2: least putting yourself in a position they can go get

565
00:25:53,280 --> 00:25:55,760
Speaker 2: the next big thing instead of other guys who are

566
00:25:55,800 --> 00:25:59,040
Speaker 2: sitting there on their hands on Brandon Fought say no, no, no,

567
00:25:59,080 --> 00:26:00,439
Speaker 2: this is going to work out. As going to work

568
00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:02,800
Speaker 2: out now they miss I don't know this year's Flairty,

569
00:26:02,920 --> 00:26:06,120
Speaker 2: this year's Cruche, this year's Tanner. How all of those guys.

570
00:26:06,800 --> 00:26:08,680
Speaker 2: You've got to give yourself an opportunity to go get them.

571
00:26:08,720 --> 00:26:12,480
Speaker 1: So is huge target to throw your first the first

572
00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:15,280
Speaker 1: big disagreement. It's not over the player, it's over you

573
00:26:15,320 --> 00:26:17,680
Speaker 1: saying it's pseudo analysis. I think the cerebral part is

574
00:26:17,760 --> 00:26:20,600
Speaker 1: very important. I think the makeup of a guy has

575
00:26:20,760 --> 00:26:23,000
Speaker 1: a lot to do with what I think of him

576
00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:26,920
Speaker 1: as a player, because eventually it's everybody this level is

577
00:26:26,960 --> 00:26:29,480
Speaker 1: super talented. It's the approach, it's the intention of detail,

578
00:26:29,480 --> 00:26:32,120
Speaker 1: it's a work ethic. It's all those intangibles that make

579
00:26:32,200 --> 00:26:35,240
Speaker 1: you great at this level. Talent makes you get to

580
00:26:35,280 --> 00:26:37,400
Speaker 1: that level, it's the intangibles that get you passed. There.

581
00:26:37,560 --> 00:26:39,760
Speaker 2: I absolutely agree, And to your point, I want to Eddie,

582
00:26:39,800 --> 00:26:41,159
Speaker 2: I just want to say that every best shape of

583
00:26:41,240 --> 00:26:44,200
Speaker 2: your life or comment about good things means that they're going.

584
00:26:44,080 --> 00:26:44,480
Speaker 1: To be good.

585
00:26:44,600 --> 00:26:45,480
Speaker 2: Is you know, oh that's all.

586
00:26:45,600 --> 00:26:46,919
Speaker 1: That's a bunch of crap. But when you hear them

587
00:26:46,920 --> 00:26:48,359
Speaker 1: talk about the things they have to work on or

588
00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:51,399
Speaker 1: things they identify, you know, it's it's you know, a

589
00:26:51,400 --> 00:26:52,800
Speaker 1: lot of the reasons why I'm in on some of

590
00:26:52,840 --> 00:26:55,000
Speaker 1: the players this year who even had bad years last

591
00:26:55,040 --> 00:26:57,639
Speaker 1: year or post hype sleepers this year. It's some guys

592
00:26:57,680 --> 00:26:59,760
Speaker 1: I think are just getting it and figured out last year.

593
00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:02,679
Speaker 1: I remember watching a lot of stuff about Ezekiel Tovar right,

594
00:27:02,760 --> 00:27:05,680
Speaker 1: perfect example, and I was listening to him talk about

595
00:27:05,720 --> 00:27:07,280
Speaker 1: the hitting and the things he wasn't doing right, and

596
00:27:07,320 --> 00:27:09,320
Speaker 1: I was like, you know, this kid really understands and

597
00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:11,520
Speaker 1: clear he's got a lot of talent plays in a ballpark.

598
00:27:11,800 --> 00:27:13,480
Speaker 1: If he can implement some many things he's talking about,

599
00:27:13,480 --> 00:27:15,920
Speaker 1: he's gonna have a successful year. And he did. Erag Getty,

600
00:27:15,920 --> 00:27:18,080
Speaker 1: by the way, you mentioned that better second half first

601
00:27:18,119 --> 00:27:21,800
Speaker 1: seventeen games five six three ERA, second half three to

602
00:27:21,800 --> 00:27:25,119
Speaker 1: one eight ERA over his final eleven starts, so a

603
00:27:25,280 --> 00:27:28,120
Speaker 1: big difference there, big jump, one more guy, another one,

604
00:27:28,440 --> 00:27:31,320
Speaker 1: big upside. Brandon Woodriff. Last time we saw Brandon Woodriff,

605
00:27:31,359 --> 00:27:35,399
Speaker 1: this guy was a dominant frontline starter. What makes you

606
00:27:35,440 --> 00:27:36,920
Speaker 1: think we could get that version of him in twenty

607
00:27:36,960 --> 00:27:38,920
Speaker 1: twenty five. I don't. I have no idea.

608
00:27:38,960 --> 00:27:42,320
Speaker 2: But it's picked two seventeen, and just like ourgedy, it's

609
00:27:42,320 --> 00:27:45,560
Speaker 2: all about quick decisions. So we'll know if Woodriff is

610
00:27:45,600 --> 00:27:48,120
Speaker 2: good or not. And if he's good, well, he has

611
00:27:48,160 --> 00:27:51,719
Speaker 2: struck gold. You know. It's the only reason for us

612
00:27:51,720 --> 00:27:53,880
Speaker 2: to suggest that he won't be is because, yeah, he's

613
00:27:53,880 --> 00:27:56,960
Speaker 2: been hurt and we're scared about this shoulder injury. We

614
00:27:57,040 --> 00:28:00,240
Speaker 2: know that data. It's the low chance of this kind

615
00:28:00,240 --> 00:28:03,399
Speaker 2: of surgery coming back and being the same. But I

616
00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:07,760
Speaker 2: don't know. It's one it's one dude, and he's apparently

617
00:28:07,800 --> 00:28:09,960
Speaker 2: healthy and they're trying to get him into the rotation

618
00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:12,840
Speaker 2: to start the year. I'd say take a chance, see

619
00:28:12,880 --> 00:28:16,159
Speaker 2: what happens, and if not, you move on. This is

620
00:28:16,240 --> 00:28:18,720
Speaker 2: not the draft pick that you're holding on to for

621
00:28:18,760 --> 00:28:22,160
Speaker 2: the entire year. Really, you have to embrace as much

622
00:28:22,200 --> 00:28:25,320
Speaker 2: as possible to win your twelve teamers. This is what

623
00:28:25,320 --> 00:28:27,840
Speaker 2: I do every single year. It's it's the tried and

624
00:28:27,880 --> 00:28:30,439
Speaker 2: true method, especially for someone that focuses on starting pictures

625
00:28:30,440 --> 00:28:33,960
Speaker 2: every night. And you will find so much on the

626
00:28:33,960 --> 00:28:36,200
Speaker 2: waiver wire, but you have to give yourself an opportunity

627
00:28:36,600 --> 00:28:38,480
Speaker 2: to go for it. So instead of going for the middle,

628
00:28:38,840 --> 00:28:41,960
Speaker 2: go for high or low and this could hit in

629
00:28:41,960 --> 00:28:44,080
Speaker 2: a huge way. If it's not, don't worry. That gives

630
00:28:44,080 --> 00:28:45,800
Speaker 2: you now an opportunity to go get something else that

631
00:28:45,840 --> 00:28:49,280
Speaker 2: can be a much bigger improvement than your Toby. You're

632
00:28:49,520 --> 00:28:53,000
Speaker 2: you're boring. I don't know who's in this grouping that

633
00:28:53,040 --> 00:28:56,000
Speaker 2: I don't like. Jose Burrios. Ah, you don't want to

634
00:28:56,040 --> 00:28:56,560
Speaker 2: deal with that.

635
00:28:56,560 --> 00:28:57,960
Speaker 1: That's I mean, you know what you're getting.

636
00:28:57,960 --> 00:28:58,720
Speaker 2: You're getting your year.

637
00:28:58,800 --> 00:29:04,840
Speaker 1: You're getting starts, and you're getting probably are surprisingly good starts. Yeah.

638
00:29:04,880 --> 00:29:07,040
Speaker 1: I think what's getting is Brios. You get ten starts

639
00:29:07,040 --> 00:29:11,800
Speaker 1: that are surprisingly good, ten starts where you are just

640
00:29:11,840 --> 00:29:13,640
Speaker 1: like whatever, and then ten starts where you want to

641
00:29:13,680 --> 00:29:14,920
Speaker 1: jump off a tall building. Yeah.

642
00:29:15,080 --> 00:29:17,760
Speaker 2: He's called the great undulator. He always finds a way

643
00:29:17,800 --> 00:29:19,480
Speaker 2: to be between a three five e array and a

644
00:29:19,520 --> 00:29:22,560
Speaker 2: three eight with like a one to seventeen earra Sorry

645
00:29:22,560 --> 00:29:23,280
Speaker 2: whip every year.

646
00:29:23,640 --> 00:29:27,080
Speaker 1: This is like, right, it is, but he ends up there.

647
00:29:27,120 --> 00:29:28,920
Speaker 1: But Woodroff is only thirty two years old, So I'm

648
00:29:28,920 --> 00:29:31,400
Speaker 1: with you. You're gonna take some dart throws to try

649
00:29:31,440 --> 00:29:32,920
Speaker 1: to win a league. Why not throw him on a

650
00:29:32,920 --> 00:29:36,520
Speaker 1: guy like Woodroff. Next grouping here seventy one through one

651
00:29:36,600 --> 00:29:39,480
Speaker 1: hundred obviously a big mix bag here. You know, you

652
00:29:39,600 --> 00:29:43,280
Speaker 1: got everybody from your Jackson Jobes to your Michael Wakas.

653
00:29:43,680 --> 00:29:45,840
Speaker 1: You've got guys on new teams like Jeffrey Springs. You

654
00:29:45,920 --> 00:29:48,440
Speaker 1: got guys like Sagana who've come over from Japan. So

655
00:29:48,560 --> 00:29:50,960
Speaker 1: this is again a mixed bag. And I think this

656
00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:54,400
Speaker 1: is also a range where I think targeting the right

657
00:29:54,520 --> 00:29:57,000
Speaker 1: names here to build that rotation depth can be huge

658
00:29:57,000 --> 00:29:59,200
Speaker 1: because it can help you when you have injuries. It

659
00:29:59,240 --> 00:30:02,720
Speaker 1: can help you, uh even just get an advantage because

660
00:30:02,760 --> 00:30:04,600
Speaker 1: all of a sudden you hit a picture. You hit

661
00:30:04,640 --> 00:30:06,840
Speaker 1: on a picture here late in a draft where they

662
00:30:06,840 --> 00:30:08,760
Speaker 1: can make a big impact in your fantasy season. So

663
00:30:09,320 --> 00:30:11,400
Speaker 1: let's talk about Gavin Williams because that's the first guy

664
00:30:11,440 --> 00:30:14,560
Speaker 1: that you've earmarked here. What have you seen with him

665
00:30:14,600 --> 00:30:16,600
Speaker 1: that makes you encourage for his performance this season?

666
00:30:17,120 --> 00:30:19,800
Speaker 2: Oh? Man, so I want to reiterate one more time,

667
00:30:20,480 --> 00:30:22,760
Speaker 2: if like pick three hundred, let's just say, let's say

668
00:30:22,760 --> 00:30:25,080
Speaker 2: that's your last pick of the draft. There are guys

669
00:30:25,120 --> 00:30:28,240
Speaker 2: on this here that are going after that, so we're

670
00:30:28,240 --> 00:30:32,640
Speaker 2: already hitting waiver wire pictures at this point in this

671
00:30:32,640 --> 00:30:34,320
Speaker 2: This is seventy one two, one hundred. And by the way,

672
00:30:34,360 --> 00:30:36,720
Speaker 2: I did a top four hundred starting pittures. It was

673
00:30:36,760 --> 00:30:40,239
Speaker 2: like seventy five thousand wards or something stupid, and I

674
00:30:40,280 --> 00:30:42,680
Speaker 2: had so many guys up to one fifty one sixty

675
00:30:42,720 --> 00:30:45,600
Speaker 2: that I could have theoretically put into my top one hundred.

676
00:30:46,280 --> 00:30:49,200
Speaker 2: So if you were thinking about guys right now, of

677
00:30:49,240 --> 00:30:51,520
Speaker 2: the worry of oh no, I won't have anyone to

678
00:30:51,560 --> 00:30:54,960
Speaker 2: start if I get an injury, get that out of

679
00:30:55,000 --> 00:30:58,520
Speaker 2: your head, because you will have so many guys to

680
00:30:58,600 --> 00:31:01,720
Speaker 2: chase instead when that one injury happens. And a lot

681
00:31:01,760 --> 00:31:05,080
Speaker 2: of these pictures I'm seeing here Mitch Keller for example,

682
00:31:05,560 --> 00:31:09,600
Speaker 2: kind of Marrow, Kelly, Luis Severino, Eric Fete, Nick Martinez,

683
00:31:09,640 --> 00:31:12,680
Speaker 2: Brian Bao, all of these are not the ones that

684
00:31:12,720 --> 00:31:15,680
Speaker 2: I would pay my hat on to be much more

685
00:31:16,520 --> 00:31:20,120
Speaker 2: than an SP seven or something like that on my teams.

686
00:31:20,600 --> 00:31:23,640
Speaker 2: And what I highly recommend is to chase the ones

687
00:31:23,680 --> 00:31:25,680
Speaker 2: that could be a lot more than that. Gavin Williams

688
00:31:25,760 --> 00:31:29,240
Speaker 2: absolutely is that when he first came up as a rookie,

689
00:31:29,360 --> 00:31:32,480
Speaker 2: he was just like one of the higher touted starting

690
00:31:32,520 --> 00:31:35,880
Speaker 2: pitchers out there, extension up the wazoo at seven feet,

691
00:31:36,360 --> 00:31:39,560
Speaker 2: throwing ninety six ninety seven mile per hour, overwhelming four seamers,

692
00:31:39,840 --> 00:31:41,600
Speaker 2: and it's really just been the development of the other

693
00:31:41,640 --> 00:31:44,880
Speaker 2: stuff that we've been waiting for. Unfortunately, he got massively

694
00:31:44,880 --> 00:31:48,360
Speaker 2: delayed in twenty twenty four. It was an injury that

695
00:31:48,560 --> 00:31:51,640
Speaker 2: lasted far longer than we expected into the season, and

696
00:31:51,680 --> 00:31:54,479
Speaker 2: when he did arrive, yeah, he didn't get into the

697
00:31:54,520 --> 00:31:57,360
Speaker 2: groove that we thought he would. Now he just threw

698
00:31:57,440 --> 00:32:00,840
Speaker 2: ninety seven miles prour yesterday. Great. He's also gotten a

699
00:32:00,880 --> 00:32:04,400
Speaker 2: lot more vertical break on his four seemer Awesome. He's

700
00:32:04,440 --> 00:32:07,920
Speaker 2: now going with cutter, slider, curve and change, and that

701
00:32:08,040 --> 00:32:10,640
Speaker 2: slider is looking like a much better number two pitch

702
00:32:10,960 --> 00:32:13,400
Speaker 2: than the cutter we saw last year and the curveball

703
00:32:13,440 --> 00:32:15,880
Speaker 2: that we saw as well. Both were very low strike rates.

704
00:32:16,240 --> 00:32:18,760
Speaker 2: We've seen near ten percent strike rates from Gavin Williams

705
00:32:18,800 --> 00:32:20,920
Speaker 2: in the past, but it's not because the fastball has

706
00:32:20,960 --> 00:32:23,200
Speaker 2: been bad. Fastball is actually be getting all these strike rates.

707
00:32:23,240 --> 00:32:25,840
Speaker 2: It's really been the secondaries that haven't been able to

708
00:32:25,880 --> 00:32:28,920
Speaker 2: support it. So now you have the slider that actually

709
00:32:28,960 --> 00:32:33,320
Speaker 2: gets you strikes, and you're in Cleveland. Who is just

710
00:32:33,320 --> 00:32:35,080
Speaker 2: gonna let him start every single game? I know it's

711
00:32:35,160 --> 00:32:38,120
Speaker 2: vote now, but he's still Imaginedarry Francona getting another popsicle

712
00:32:38,120 --> 00:32:39,480
Speaker 2: and forgetting that the guy who is still there in

713
00:32:39,480 --> 00:32:41,960
Speaker 2: the eighth inning. Like that is what I think of

714
00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:44,560
Speaker 2: when I think of the Guardians. And Gavin Williams is

715
00:32:44,560 --> 00:32:46,720
Speaker 2: going to go every five days. He's gonna go as

716
00:32:46,800 --> 00:32:49,040
Speaker 2: long as he can in this game. He's going to

717
00:32:49,240 --> 00:32:52,760
Speaker 2: rack up strikeouts. He is a strikeout pitcher, and I

718
00:32:52,800 --> 00:32:54,840
Speaker 2: think that it's gonna come with ratios that you like.

719
00:32:55,280 --> 00:32:58,480
Speaker 2: This is such a good mold for a pitcher. Take

720
00:32:58,520 --> 00:33:00,280
Speaker 2: the chance on this, and you'll know early if you

721
00:33:00,280 --> 00:33:03,480
Speaker 2: can't throw strikes, and fine, you move on. This is

722
00:33:03,520 --> 00:33:07,520
Speaker 2: the whole thing. You're early decisions, high upside, you move on,

723
00:33:07,800 --> 00:33:10,640
Speaker 2: you'll be okay. Gavin Williams, go get him now.

724
00:33:10,680 --> 00:33:12,880
Speaker 1: One guy in this range who has finished as a

725
00:33:12,920 --> 00:33:15,680
Speaker 1: top twenty five starter not that long ago, just two years.

726
00:33:16,000 --> 00:33:19,280
Speaker 1: Jesus Lozardo now the Philadelphia Phillies, So big difference there.

727
00:33:19,600 --> 00:33:21,200
Speaker 1: You're going from one of the worst teams in the

728
00:33:21,240 --> 00:33:22,680
Speaker 1: National League to one of the best teams in the

729
00:33:22,720 --> 00:33:25,600
Speaker 1: National League spot where he is now their fifth starter,

730
00:33:26,600 --> 00:33:29,520
Speaker 1: you know, in that rotation the bullpen, I think a

731
00:33:29,520 --> 00:33:31,280
Speaker 1: little bit improved to when you get Romano at the

732
00:33:31,280 --> 00:33:33,440
Speaker 1: back end that's been their achilles heel. This this Phillies

733
00:33:33,440 --> 00:33:36,600
Speaker 1: team is locking down those saves on a more regular basis.

734
00:33:36,680 --> 00:33:38,720
Speaker 1: And this is a player that I recall not that

735
00:33:38,760 --> 00:33:41,600
Speaker 1: long ago you and Alex Fast having an all out

736
00:33:41,920 --> 00:33:46,520
Speaker 1: bloodbath fight about and now he's right, you did well, yeah,

737
00:33:46,560 --> 00:33:50,240
Speaker 1: and now he's basically free, you know. And I think

738
00:33:50,400 --> 00:33:53,360
Speaker 1: that's what becomes so intriguing. He's become a target of

739
00:33:53,400 --> 00:33:56,440
Speaker 1: mine because in my mind, you know, I always follow,

740
00:33:56,640 --> 00:33:58,640
Speaker 1: you know, certain organizations who make runs at players.

741
00:33:58,680 --> 00:33:58,800
Speaker 2: Right.

742
00:33:58,800 --> 00:34:00,760
Speaker 1: When Tampa's on a guy, I want to be in

743
00:34:00,800 --> 00:34:03,160
Speaker 1: on him, right because they see something that they can fix.

744
00:34:03,440 --> 00:34:05,760
Speaker 1: The Mets are starting to become that organization of words.

745
00:34:05,760 --> 00:34:07,720
Speaker 1: I never thought I would say out loud what they're

746
00:34:07,720 --> 00:34:10,040
Speaker 1: starting to do with some of these guys too. I think, well,

747
00:34:10,080 --> 00:34:12,880
Speaker 1: I think, you know, I'm encouraged by the concept of

748
00:34:12,920 --> 00:34:15,640
Speaker 1: Clay Holmes maybe being like the next Derek Lowe kind

749
00:34:15,640 --> 00:34:17,200
Speaker 1: of project. If you recall, like a guy who is

750
00:34:17,280 --> 00:34:19,880
Speaker 1: extreme ground ball pitcher coming out of the bullpen. We

751
00:34:19,960 --> 00:34:21,920
Speaker 1: make him a starter and he has really good success,

752
00:34:21,920 --> 00:34:23,799
Speaker 1: but maybe like a higher strikeout version. You saw what

753
00:34:23,840 --> 00:34:25,160
Speaker 1: they did with Severino, you saw what they do with

754
00:34:25,160 --> 00:34:28,920
Speaker 1: Sean and Aya. Now it's also when teams are acquiring

755
00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:32,440
Speaker 1: guys that you know are still we take for granted

756
00:34:32,440 --> 00:34:34,680
Speaker 1: that Lizzardo is just not that old. He's just been

757
00:34:34,719 --> 00:34:36,920
Speaker 1: around forever because he was a prospect and we all

758
00:34:36,960 --> 00:34:39,400
Speaker 1: got prospect fatigue with him, and then he had arm injuries,

759
00:34:39,480 --> 00:34:41,719
Speaker 1: and you know, he's pitched on some bad teams and

760
00:34:42,000 --> 00:34:44,560
Speaker 1: you know Oakland and some bad teams with the Marlins.

761
00:34:44,960 --> 00:34:47,399
Speaker 1: But now it feels like nothing but upside. So I'm

762
00:34:47,440 --> 00:34:48,920
Speaker 1: in on this and I'm glad to see you are too.

763
00:34:49,000 --> 00:34:50,160
Speaker 1: Let's talk about why you are.

764
00:34:50,880 --> 00:34:53,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, So, I first of all, you guys know that

765
00:34:53,080 --> 00:34:54,480
Speaker 2: Jo's a Mets fan, clear than the way you.

766
00:34:54,440 --> 00:34:57,440
Speaker 1: Just suspect that's a self loathing Mets fan. You have

767
00:34:57,520 --> 00:35:00,279
Speaker 1: to put that last year I got to say was

768
00:35:00,320 --> 00:35:00,800
Speaker 1: Clay Homes.

769
00:35:00,840 --> 00:35:02,640
Speaker 2: Last year I actually didn't see Clay Holmes on here,

770
00:35:02,640 --> 00:35:03,719
Speaker 2: and I would say that the Clay Holmes is a

771
00:35:03,719 --> 00:35:05,680
Speaker 2: target of mine too. I am impressed by that change

772
00:35:05,719 --> 00:35:06,160
Speaker 2: up that he has.

773
00:35:06,160 --> 00:35:08,640
Speaker 1: Well, he qualifies at RP. That's why so.

774
00:35:09,520 --> 00:35:12,320
Speaker 2: Qualis I understood. I think he's going around this same

775
00:35:12,520 --> 00:35:17,319
Speaker 2: spot though him. Actually the man I had a term

776
00:35:17,360 --> 00:35:20,759
Speaker 2: for It's fine. I called Clay Holmes the Adobe by

777
00:35:20,800 --> 00:35:24,160
Speaker 2: the way, because he's Clay Homes and uh and then

778
00:35:24,200 --> 00:35:26,080
Speaker 2: the course is grand Homes is a real estate broker

779
00:35:26,080 --> 00:35:30,240
Speaker 2: because he gets home. I just this is yeah, exactly

780
00:35:30,480 --> 00:35:33,439
Speaker 2: point you get a picture of guys. Okay, so lose

781
00:35:33,520 --> 00:35:39,760
Speaker 2: artem The The interesting thing here for me is twofold one. Obviously,

782
00:35:39,760 --> 00:35:42,480
Speaker 2: the context is great, you have the Phillies. Now you

783
00:35:42,520 --> 00:35:44,680
Speaker 2: have good win potential. The guy goes longer into games.

784
00:35:44,800 --> 00:35:46,760
Speaker 2: I don't care about his health because I'm not getting

785
00:35:46,800 --> 00:35:48,800
Speaker 2: him in the first one hundred and fifty or so.

786
00:35:48,800 --> 00:35:50,080
Speaker 2: I don't need him to be an SP three the

787
00:35:50,560 --> 00:35:52,279
Speaker 2: entire year to be a foundation and a rock of

788
00:35:52,360 --> 00:35:54,320
Speaker 2: my team. I'm trying to see, like, hey, are you

789
00:35:54,320 --> 00:35:56,520
Speaker 2: going to help me now? And you'll be able to

790
00:35:56,600 --> 00:36:00,160
Speaker 2: tell pretty early on is the same volatile self is

791
00:36:00,200 --> 00:36:02,279
Speaker 2: he's throwing those sliders well over the plate in the

792
00:36:02,320 --> 00:36:05,000
Speaker 2: game crushed. Is he actually looking the four seamer well,

793
00:36:05,040 --> 00:36:08,200
Speaker 2: because my gosh, he does not. Well, it's a very

794
00:36:08,280 --> 00:36:12,040
Speaker 2: hittable one. However, there are tweaks to be made, and

795
00:36:12,120 --> 00:36:15,560
Speaker 2: I think the Phillies can actually identify them and implement them. First,

796
00:36:15,880 --> 00:36:20,840
Speaker 2: four steamer missus or has extra horizontal run than expected.

797
00:36:21,360 --> 00:36:22,840
Speaker 2: That is, it kind of acts like a two seamer

798
00:36:22,920 --> 00:36:25,759
Speaker 2: than a four seamer. So right now he's trying to

799
00:36:25,760 --> 00:36:28,399
Speaker 2: do called strikes away to lefties. No, no, no, no,

800
00:36:28,680 --> 00:36:31,279
Speaker 2: they hit that. Throw that inside like a sinker, and

801
00:36:31,280 --> 00:36:33,719
Speaker 2: that should actually work really really well. Throw that arm

802
00:36:33,800 --> 00:36:36,120
Speaker 2: side and he should have a lot of success against lefties.

803
00:36:36,400 --> 00:36:38,080
Speaker 2: That will make it so that the mistakes he's made

804
00:36:38,160 --> 00:36:40,799
Speaker 2: with his slider to lefties not nearly as much of

805
00:36:40,800 --> 00:36:42,680
Speaker 2: a problem. And you can probably get away with that

806
00:36:42,719 --> 00:36:45,440
Speaker 2: a little bit more. I like that a lot. Now

807
00:36:45,480 --> 00:36:48,719
Speaker 2: against righty's the change up is actually really good. It's

808
00:36:48,719 --> 00:36:51,600
Speaker 2: a lot better than the slider. And he still throws

809
00:36:51,640 --> 00:36:53,520
Speaker 2: these sliders in these two strike counts, has made a

810
00:36:53,520 --> 00:36:56,759
Speaker 2: ton of mistakes with them, and there's your problem. Just

811
00:36:56,840 --> 00:37:00,719
Speaker 2: throw more change ups, so rieties and fewer sliders. And

812
00:37:00,840 --> 00:37:03,359
Speaker 2: suddenly you have the volatility. A lot of those home

813
00:37:03,400 --> 00:37:06,680
Speaker 2: runs kind of go away a little bit. The whip

814
00:37:06,719 --> 00:37:09,239
Speaker 2: isn't so bad. The earach can be a three to

815
00:37:09,320 --> 00:37:11,279
Speaker 2: six and I'll be fine because he's a twenty five

816
00:37:11,320 --> 00:37:14,400
Speaker 2: to thirty percent strikeout guy and he's gonna get wins

817
00:37:14,400 --> 00:37:17,480
Speaker 2: because he's on the Phillies. Wait, this is really good

818
00:37:18,200 --> 00:37:21,320
Speaker 2: and I'm not spending that high draft pick on it. Also,

819
00:37:21,400 --> 00:37:23,640
Speaker 2: if it's just terrible he didn't make these tweaks, fine,

820
00:37:23,680 --> 00:37:26,319
Speaker 2: I'll just drop them. It's a two sixty six. This

821
00:37:26,440 --> 00:37:27,000
Speaker 2: is amazing.

822
00:37:27,239 --> 00:37:27,600
Speaker 1: I agree.

823
00:37:27,640 --> 00:37:29,319
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, I want to lose Arto all day.

824
00:37:29,360 --> 00:37:31,839
Speaker 1: Here, last guy here in this group before we get

825
00:37:31,880 --> 00:37:33,840
Speaker 1: to the guys outside of the top one hundred that

826
00:37:33,840 --> 00:37:37,719
Speaker 1: we're targeting, Drew Rasmuson. I want you to fill in

827
00:37:37,719 --> 00:37:39,640
Speaker 1: the blanks of this sentence, and twenty twenty five Drew

828
00:37:39,719 --> 00:37:41,279
Speaker 1: ras Meson becomes.

829
00:37:41,280 --> 00:37:44,840
Speaker 2: What I have no idea because it's all about how

830
00:37:44,920 --> 00:37:47,120
Speaker 2: much volume he gets. And this is a really easy one.

831
00:37:47,160 --> 00:37:50,680
Speaker 2: If your Rasmussen starts, you want him everywhere. He suppresses

832
00:37:50,719 --> 00:37:53,640
Speaker 2: our contact, he still throws hard and he gets whiffs

833
00:37:54,160 --> 00:37:56,520
Speaker 2: like it's really good, even if it's five and dive.

834
00:37:56,560 --> 00:37:58,440
Speaker 2: I don't care. That's like Elite five and dives, so

835
00:37:58,440 --> 00:38:00,440
Speaker 2: you're just gonna do it. Probably won't be so. I

836
00:38:00,440 --> 00:38:02,520
Speaker 2: think the Raised need guys you can throw, and I'm

837
00:38:02,520 --> 00:38:04,719
Speaker 2: not even worried about them going to George Steinberner Field

838
00:38:04,719 --> 00:38:06,680
Speaker 2: for Rasmussen because I think he just allows too much

839
00:38:06,680 --> 00:38:10,080
Speaker 2: hard we contact that like doesn't matter. The thing is

840
00:38:10,080 --> 00:38:12,680
Speaker 2: is he starting? Is he actually going like more than

841
00:38:12,719 --> 00:38:15,760
Speaker 2: three innings when he does start? I don't know exact

842
00:38:15,800 --> 00:38:19,880
Speaker 2: Lytel doesn't have any options left and that might change things.

843
00:38:20,600 --> 00:38:24,640
Speaker 2: So I'm not sure if Rasmussen actually has a rotation

844
00:38:24,680 --> 00:38:27,200
Speaker 2: spot and that's why he's here of yes or no,

845
00:38:27,440 --> 00:38:31,719
Speaker 2: quick decision yea gone, okay, cool, simple, easy, Just get

846
00:38:31,760 --> 00:38:34,560
Speaker 2: Drew Rasmussen. See what happens. That's great, you got gold.

847
00:38:34,719 --> 00:38:36,720
Speaker 1: All right, Let's see what happens with the guys outside

848
00:38:36,719 --> 00:38:39,040
Speaker 1: the top one hundred. Nick's got his targets. I've got

849
00:38:39,080 --> 00:38:42,040
Speaker 1: mine first one for me at one twelve. DJ hurts.

850
00:38:42,160 --> 00:38:45,160
Speaker 1: I think that everyone's heard me talk about the Nationals

851
00:38:45,160 --> 00:38:48,239
Speaker 1: being a sneaky team this year. I think the Athletics

852
00:38:48,239 --> 00:38:51,640
Speaker 1: and the Nationals are going to be just pesky and

853
00:38:51,719 --> 00:38:54,360
Speaker 1: frustrating and maybe better than people realize. I don't know

854
00:38:54,360 --> 00:38:56,200
Speaker 1: how many wins the Nats will get at the end

855
00:38:56,200 --> 00:38:57,319
Speaker 1: of the day, but I think they're going to be

856
00:38:57,320 --> 00:38:59,480
Speaker 1: far more competitive, and I want the lefty with the

857
00:38:59,520 --> 00:39:02,000
Speaker 1: big strike potential. Another guy too that I think gets it.

858
00:39:02,160 --> 00:39:04,200
Speaker 1: I've had some good conversations with DJ and he is

859
00:39:04,320 --> 00:39:06,759
Speaker 1: very focused about this season. He's already shown you some

860
00:39:06,800 --> 00:39:08,680
Speaker 1: flashes at that minor league level too, and I think

861
00:39:09,000 --> 00:39:11,239
Speaker 1: all wheels up. David Festa another guy I think is

862
00:39:11,239 --> 00:39:13,960
Speaker 1: really interesting, another one who might not start in the

863
00:39:14,040 --> 00:39:16,680
Speaker 1: rotation here for the Minnesota Twins, but in deeper leagues.

864
00:39:16,719 --> 00:39:19,640
Speaker 1: I want this guy on my bench. Last year, again,

865
00:39:19,840 --> 00:39:22,200
Speaker 1: first couple starts a little rocky, after that things went

866
00:39:22,280 --> 00:39:25,319
Speaker 1: really well. He's got good strikeout potential there, He's got

867
00:39:25,400 --> 00:39:27,040
Speaker 1: the right frame, all the things you're looking forward a

868
00:39:27,040 --> 00:39:29,640
Speaker 1: young starting pitcher, and I do think eventually he will

869
00:39:29,680 --> 00:39:32,200
Speaker 1: win out over time. So even if he's not named

870
00:39:32,200 --> 00:39:34,840
Speaker 1: to that opening rotation. Festus one that if you're in

871
00:39:34,920 --> 00:39:37,480
Speaker 1: these fifteen team leagues and you're trying to build some depth,

872
00:39:37,480 --> 00:39:40,040
Speaker 1: guys like hers, Guys like fest are interesting. And the

873
00:39:40,120 --> 00:39:43,320
Speaker 1: last one on my list here is Quinn Matthews. Now,

874
00:39:43,400 --> 00:39:48,000
Speaker 1: every year in January, I start to do my minor

875
00:39:48,080 --> 00:39:50,759
Speaker 1: league work because coming off the NFL season, I'm doing

876
00:39:50,800 --> 00:39:52,919
Speaker 1: all my work on the NFL draft guys and doing

877
00:39:52,920 --> 00:39:54,439
Speaker 1: all my work on the baseball guys, but I don't

878
00:39:54,440 --> 00:39:56,239
Speaker 1: get to see a lot of minor league baseball. So

879
00:39:56,400 --> 00:39:58,720
Speaker 1: I start to dig deep and I start to watch

880
00:39:58,800 --> 00:40:00,840
Speaker 1: all the tape in the I light to these guys,

881
00:40:00,880 --> 00:40:04,160
Speaker 1: and of all the pictures I watched, Quinn Matthews just

882
00:40:04,239 --> 00:40:06,640
Speaker 1: stood out like a sore thumb in the best possible way,

883
00:40:06,960 --> 00:40:09,360
Speaker 1: jumped off the screen to me in every which way.

884
00:40:09,640 --> 00:40:11,719
Speaker 1: The Cardinals are desperate for help in that rotation. That

885
00:40:12,120 --> 00:40:14,680
Speaker 1: rotation was like trying to go to like the old

886
00:40:14,680 --> 00:40:16,719
Speaker 1: age home last year. It was crazy. I was like,

887
00:40:16,800 --> 00:40:19,120
Speaker 1: what are they doing there? And nobody here? I felt

888
00:40:19,160 --> 00:40:21,719
Speaker 1: like was south of thirty five in that rotation And

889
00:40:21,760 --> 00:40:24,360
Speaker 1: at one point and Quinn Matthews, I think is the

890
00:40:24,360 --> 00:40:26,839
Speaker 1: beginning of that. Now, how many things he has this year,

891
00:40:26,920 --> 00:40:29,200
Speaker 1: All that stuff we could talk about. But when you're

892
00:40:29,200 --> 00:40:32,360
Speaker 1: looking at acquiring some good young arms who might be

893
00:40:32,400 --> 00:40:34,319
Speaker 1: able to at some point pop and maybe save you

894
00:40:34,360 --> 00:40:36,719
Speaker 1: some free agent budget, Quinn Matthews could be one of

895
00:40:36,760 --> 00:40:39,319
Speaker 1: those guys. Now, before we get to your list, I

896
00:40:39,440 --> 00:40:41,839
Speaker 1: of course make the show sheet up. So I made

897
00:40:41,840 --> 00:40:44,319
Speaker 1: my list first. And you were talking about seeing Quinn

898
00:40:44,320 --> 00:40:46,920
Speaker 1: Matthews in spring training how much. I don't know how

899
00:40:46,960 --> 00:40:50,160
Speaker 1: much you've watched Quinn Matthews before that, but what were

900
00:40:50,200 --> 00:40:53,200
Speaker 1: your thoughts about him? Because you seemed kind of positive,

901
00:40:53,480 --> 00:40:54,160
Speaker 1: just like I am.

902
00:40:54,719 --> 00:40:56,880
Speaker 2: Well, okay, so I do a full review of the

903
00:40:56,920 --> 00:41:01,080
Speaker 2: minor league system for every team before spring training hits right,

904
00:41:01,920 --> 00:41:03,359
Speaker 2: and it's part of my top four hundred, and I'm

905
00:41:03,360 --> 00:41:05,200
Speaker 2: all right, who are the major prospects? And I just

906
00:41:05,280 --> 00:41:06,960
Speaker 2: got to know who they are because they're going to

907
00:41:07,040 --> 00:41:09,200
Speaker 2: show up and I gotta be ready for those guys.

908
00:41:09,600 --> 00:41:11,279
Speaker 2: And Quinn Matthews was the name I heard a lot,

909
00:41:11,320 --> 00:41:13,560
Speaker 2: and I remember digging into him, not really loving it

910
00:41:13,600 --> 00:41:17,480
Speaker 2: because his four seamer did not really have anything exceptional

911
00:41:17,520 --> 00:41:20,520
Speaker 2: attached to it. It was decently flat, but it was

912
00:41:20,560 --> 00:41:24,120
Speaker 2: like ninety four. It was not the best IVB that

913
00:41:24,200 --> 00:41:27,920
Speaker 2: is vert upstairs, and I'm just kind of getting wind, like,

914
00:41:27,960 --> 00:41:30,200
Speaker 2: all right, this seems like a good pitcher, but not

915
00:41:30,239 --> 00:41:33,840
Speaker 2: really someone that can excel, and like it doesn't. We

916
00:41:33,880 --> 00:41:37,640
Speaker 2: didn't really love his change up necessarily it was like, okay,

917
00:41:37,719 --> 00:41:40,000
Speaker 2: I get it, but like it's I don't know. Then

918
00:41:40,040 --> 00:41:42,880
Speaker 2: I saw him and he added two extra inches of

919
00:41:42,960 --> 00:41:44,520
Speaker 2: vert on the fast. Well, now it's like e leap.

920
00:41:45,360 --> 00:41:47,920
Speaker 2: And then he was spotting everything well and the changeup

921
00:41:47,960 --> 00:41:50,320
Speaker 2: was working off of it, and just watching him pitch

922
00:41:51,360 --> 00:41:53,920
Speaker 2: was much more of a from what I saw before.

923
00:41:54,120 --> 00:41:56,120
Speaker 2: Could just be the day, but it was very much

924
00:41:56,160 --> 00:41:58,560
Speaker 2: of a guy in control. And this is something that

925
00:41:58,640 --> 00:42:02,680
Speaker 2: everybody can do consciously. Know who are the pictures that

926
00:42:02,760 --> 00:42:05,160
Speaker 2: you expect to do well, who are the ones that

927
00:42:05,239 --> 00:42:08,960
Speaker 2: are throwing and guys just aren't you know, knocking for

928
00:42:09,080 --> 00:42:12,240
Speaker 2: basits and where the strike zone feels large as opposed

929
00:42:12,280 --> 00:42:15,080
Speaker 2: to small. Yeah, and Quinn math I've certainly made it

930
00:42:15,080 --> 00:42:16,520
Speaker 2: feel like a large strike zone.

931
00:42:16,920 --> 00:42:19,799
Speaker 1: Six' five lefty who went through from a ball all

932
00:42:19,800 --> 00:42:21,279
Speaker 1: the way To TRIPLE a last year And TRIPLE a

933
00:42:21,320 --> 00:42:23,480
Speaker 1: stalled out a little, bit BUT i think he was

934
00:42:23,520 --> 00:42:25,120
Speaker 1: just kind, of you, know done by. That WHAT i

935
00:42:25,160 --> 00:42:27,799
Speaker 1: watched for some of the double ast arts and AGAIN

936
00:42:27,840 --> 00:42:30,479
Speaker 1: i was just, like look this. Kid you, know there's

937
00:42:30,520 --> 00:42:32,279
Speaker 1: no way he doesn't get an opportunity In Saint louis

938
00:42:32,280 --> 00:42:33,680
Speaker 1: this year in my. Opinion BUT i want to know

939
00:42:33,719 --> 00:42:36,279
Speaker 1: about your guys outside the top one. Hundred you have

940
00:42:36,320 --> 00:42:40,359
Speaker 1: a fascinating. List let's run through them. Here first one

941
00:42:40,400 --> 00:42:43,000
Speaker 1: Is Dustin. May so why is that a target of

942
00:42:43,000 --> 00:42:43,960
Speaker 1: yours when you get late into.

943
00:42:44,040 --> 00:42:46,160
Speaker 2: Drafts, yeah you're not going to SEE dj hurries from,

944
00:42:46,160 --> 00:42:48,839
Speaker 2: me but that's. Fine that's BECAUSE i just don't believe

945
00:42:48,840 --> 00:42:51,080
Speaker 2: in the changeup being consistent enough for. HIM i am

946
00:42:51,120 --> 00:42:53,000
Speaker 2: excited to see it get better. Though if it, DOES

947
00:42:53,040 --> 00:42:55,239
Speaker 2: i love your pick because the fastball is good, enough

948
00:42:55,360 --> 00:42:58,040
Speaker 2: he's working, it maybe, overperformed but the changeup just needs

949
00:42:58,040 --> 00:43:00,960
Speaker 2: to really be more solid for. Him But, may what a.

950
00:43:01,000 --> 00:43:04,680
Speaker 2: Scenario oh my, Gosh Dustin may has no more. Options

951
00:43:05,080 --> 00:43:06,920
Speaker 2: he's gonna be pitching as a number five for The.

952
00:43:06,920 --> 00:43:10,640
Speaker 2: DODGERS i, MEAN i would be absolutely shocked if The dodgers, said,

953
00:43:10,680 --> 00:43:13,359
Speaker 2: Nah Tony, gonsolin the guy who throws like ninety two

954
00:43:13,440 --> 00:43:16,040
Speaker 2: now and sometimes has a splitter and, slider or maybe

955
00:43:16,080 --> 00:43:18,480
Speaker 2: the guy who throws ninety seven to ninety nine with

956
00:43:18,560 --> 00:43:21,839
Speaker 2: this sinker has not gotten the real opportunity to pitch

957
00:43:21,880 --> 00:43:24,920
Speaker 2: throughout a season yet because he Got Tommy john and

958
00:43:24,960 --> 00:43:28,120
Speaker 2: then had an esophagus surgery that was kind of terrifying

959
00:43:28,160 --> 00:43:31,200
Speaker 2: when you hear about it that how has made it

960
00:43:31,200 --> 00:43:34,319
Speaker 2: so that he's had even more rest and he's ready to.

961
00:43:34,360 --> 00:43:37,640
Speaker 2: Go you want to pitch for The, Dodgers you're gonna get,

962
00:43:37,640 --> 00:43:39,480
Speaker 2: wins especially when they're in this five man which really

963
00:43:39,520 --> 00:43:40,960
Speaker 2: is kind of a six man In april because of

964
00:43:40,960 --> 00:43:42,480
Speaker 2: all the off, days so it's like once a week In.

965
00:43:42,520 --> 00:43:47,400
Speaker 2: April But Dustin may is primed to just go nuts

966
00:43:47,400 --> 00:43:49,640
Speaker 2: and actually get into the rhythm that he was supposed

967
00:43:49,680 --> 00:43:52,239
Speaker 2: to get in before in his. Career oh, MAN i

968
00:43:52,280 --> 00:43:55,040
Speaker 2: Want Dustin man every single one of my. Teams and

969
00:43:55,080 --> 00:43:56,839
Speaker 2: one other guy THAT i KNOW i didn't mention you very.

970
00:43:56,880 --> 00:43:59,200
Speaker 2: Quickly Max meyer was like three ticks harder yesterday and

971
00:43:59,239 --> 00:44:02,120
Speaker 2: has like an Elite well, now And i'm just going

972
00:44:02,160 --> 00:44:05,080
Speaker 2: what you just were a slider only, guy and now

973
00:44:05,120 --> 00:44:07,600
Speaker 2: you have a ninety two Mile prowur, slider not an

974
00:44:07,600 --> 00:44:10,200
Speaker 2: eighty eight Mile priur, slider and you're throwing ninety six ninety,

975
00:44:10,200 --> 00:44:13,080
Speaker 2: seven seven ninety four with an ideal flat attack angle

976
00:44:13,120 --> 00:44:13,600
Speaker 2: you didn't, have.

977
00:44:13,640 --> 00:44:14,040
Speaker 1: You, KNOW i don't.

978
00:44:14,040 --> 00:44:14,839
Speaker 2: Know i'm glad you brought him.

979
00:44:14,880 --> 00:44:16,680
Speaker 1: UP i didn't put on the. List just, beware, Guys,

980
00:44:16,719 --> 00:44:18,080
Speaker 1: no but you know, What i'm glad you brought him,

981
00:44:18,120 --> 00:44:19,719
Speaker 1: up because that's a player That i've been in on

982
00:44:19,960 --> 00:44:22,839
Speaker 1: several times the last couple of years, waiting and last

983
00:44:22,920 --> 00:44:26,560
Speaker 1: year was incredibly, frustrating right because you have a scenario

984
00:44:26,640 --> 00:44:28,520
Speaker 1: where he comes up and he looks, good and then

985
00:44:28,560 --> 00:44:30,719
Speaker 1: they are jerking him, Around they're sending him down to

986
00:44:30,960 --> 00:44:32,840
Speaker 1: the minor, leagues AND i keep thinking about all we

987
00:44:32,840 --> 00:44:34,319
Speaker 1: want to save his, innings save his things for what

988
00:44:34,760 --> 00:44:36,840
Speaker 1: all that playoff, baseball The marlins are going to be,

989
00:44:36,880 --> 00:44:40,040
Speaker 1: playing all those Important september games coming up on The marlin.

990
00:44:40,120 --> 00:44:43,560
Speaker 1: Schedule it's just such a. CROC i don't understand. WHAT i.

991
00:44:43,600 --> 00:44:46,040
Speaker 1: GUESS i don't know what it, was what was going on.

992
00:44:46,120 --> 00:44:49,160
Speaker 1: There but once upon a, time three years, Ago Max

993
00:44:49,239 --> 00:44:51,120
Speaker 1: meyer was one of the you, KNOW i Know welsh,

994
00:44:51,239 --> 00:44:53,960
Speaker 1: myself even to the Aforementioned Craig missis was telling, me he's, like,

995
00:44:54,040 --> 00:44:55,640
Speaker 1: look keep an eye off for This Max myer. Kid

996
00:44:55,640 --> 00:44:58,680
Speaker 1: that's going to be the. Kid AND i hope that

997
00:44:58,840 --> 00:45:00,640
Speaker 1: finally they just leave him all and leave him this,

998
00:45:00,719 --> 00:45:03,960
Speaker 1: rotation because once upon a time he had a special

999
00:45:04,600 --> 00:45:07,600
Speaker 1: trajectory and it feels like it got completely derailed in

1000
00:45:07,600 --> 00:45:10,040
Speaker 1: the last two years between injuries and the organization just

1001
00:45:10,080 --> 00:45:10,520
Speaker 1: making bad.

1002
00:45:10,520 --> 00:45:13,680
Speaker 2: Decisions, yeah he actually went back to his old college.

1003
00:45:13,840 --> 00:45:16,839
Speaker 2: Armingle his armingle was just a lot higher when we've

1004
00:45:16,880 --> 00:45:18,400
Speaker 2: seen him the, majors but then he went down to

1005
00:45:18,440 --> 00:45:21,160
Speaker 2: it for this. One it looks like and it's just

1006
00:45:21,200 --> 00:45:24,920
Speaker 2: so much. BETTER i, look it was one, inning, Everyone

1007
00:45:25,320 --> 00:45:27,120
Speaker 2: SO i can't really say that he's going to be

1008
00:45:27,200 --> 00:45:29,880
Speaker 2: ninety six ninety seven now because one Inning max, efforts,

1009
00:45:29,920 --> 00:45:34,000
Speaker 2: RIGHT i don't, know but this was a much better

1010
00:45:34,120 --> 00:45:36,759
Speaker 2: version Of Max meyer Than i've ever. Seen i've been

1011
00:45:36,760 --> 00:45:38,200
Speaker 2: the guy out on him because, like, yeah he just

1012
00:45:38,239 --> 00:45:41,560
Speaker 2: has a slider and that's. It i'm paying attention to,

1013
00:45:41,600 --> 00:45:43,640
Speaker 2: this so you should. Too But Dustin may is the

1014
00:45:43,640 --> 00:45:45,080
Speaker 2: guy that you should be. Drafting.

1015
00:45:45,680 --> 00:45:48,200
Speaker 1: Easy more guys on your, list one coming back From

1016
00:45:48,239 --> 00:45:50,960
Speaker 1: Tommy John Lucas, giolito and the other One Grant, Holmes

1017
00:45:51,000 --> 00:45:53,680
Speaker 1: and you can't make that bad joke. Again so break

1018
00:45:53,680 --> 00:45:55,400
Speaker 1: down these two guys for me before we get out

1019
00:45:55,400 --> 00:45:58,160
Speaker 1: of here. Today Grant holmes And Lucas. Giolito why should

1020
00:45:58,160 --> 00:45:59,600
Speaker 1: people be drafting them in twenty twenty?

1021
00:45:59,600 --> 00:46:02,840
Speaker 2: Five, sure so For, giulido it actually wasn't telling Me,

1022
00:46:02,880 --> 00:46:04,480
Speaker 2: john it was an internal. BRACE i know it's very,

1023
00:46:04,480 --> 00:46:08,400
Speaker 2: similar but it doesn't mean that it's, faster and it

1024
00:46:08,440 --> 00:46:11,120
Speaker 2: does mean that there IS i, believe a tendon that

1025
00:46:11,200 --> 00:46:15,160
Speaker 2: is still attached a little so in, sure it's oh.

1026
00:46:15,200 --> 00:46:17,240
Speaker 2: Good it's a little better to have the internal brace

1027
00:46:17,719 --> 00:46:21,759
Speaker 2: a little. Bit And Lucas giolito is in such a good.

1028
00:46:21,800 --> 00:46:24,879
Speaker 2: SITUATION i know that the twenty twenty, one twenty twenty,

1029
00:46:24,880 --> 00:46:26,640
Speaker 2: two the kind of what you've seen recently giulido has

1030
00:46:26,680 --> 00:46:28,920
Speaker 2: not been, good but there are a lot of factors

1031
00:46:28,960 --> 00:46:31,080
Speaker 2: for what that has. Been in actually a lot of those,

1032
00:46:31,080 --> 00:46:33,640
Speaker 2: seasons he was fine until he. Wasn't but now he's

1033
00:46:33,640 --> 00:46:37,959
Speaker 2: in a great scenario In boston where we actually saw

1034
00:46:38,080 --> 00:46:42,080
Speaker 2: him looking much better this time last year before he was.

1035
00:46:42,160 --> 00:46:45,160
Speaker 2: Hurt AND i actually think that The Red sox are

1036
00:46:45,160 --> 00:46:48,839
Speaker 2: going to squeeze the best version Of giulido than we've

1037
00:46:48,880 --> 00:46:52,600
Speaker 2: seen since twenty, nineteen really with fast walls up and

1038
00:46:52,920 --> 00:46:56,000
Speaker 2: change ups underneath that a better. SLIDER i really like

1039
00:46:56,080 --> 00:46:58,279
Speaker 2: this scenario for. HIM i think also mentally going to

1040
00:46:58,320 --> 00:47:00,319
Speaker 2: The Red sox from The White, SOX i think it's

1041
00:47:00,320 --> 00:47:02,880
Speaker 2: a little bit different, here and then also being bounced

1042
00:47:02,920 --> 00:47:04,680
Speaker 2: around to teams THAT i don't really trust the development

1043
00:47:04,719 --> 00:47:07,960
Speaker 2: with like The, angels and, honestly The guardians is a

1044
00:47:08,680 --> 00:47:10,680
Speaker 2: major league CREW i don't like as much as their

1045
00:47:10,680 --> 00:47:12,840
Speaker 2: minor league, crew WHICH i think is really good for pitching.

1046
00:47:12,840 --> 00:47:15,279
Speaker 2: Development So i'm a huge fan of. This you'll know

1047
00:47:15,320 --> 00:47:19,000
Speaker 2: early If Lucas giulido is better or, not and then

1048
00:47:19,040 --> 00:47:20,759
Speaker 2: you might get a good volume guy that you really

1049
00:47:20,760 --> 00:47:23,680
Speaker 2: want that isn't harmful or. Boring and then With Grand

1050
00:47:23,680 --> 00:47:27,719
Speaker 2: holmes find the deed mak or whatever you. Want he's

1051
00:47:27,719 --> 00:47:30,600
Speaker 2: someone with two with pitches slidering and curve that he

1052
00:47:30,680 --> 00:47:33,279
Speaker 2: commands really well and a four steamer that hits the.

1053
00:47:33,360 --> 00:47:37,640
Speaker 2: Edges and speaking of a good, scenarios It's. Atlanta he's not

1054
00:47:37,640 --> 00:47:40,359
Speaker 2: the number, five he's the number. Four and last year

1055
00:47:40,520 --> 00:47:42,400
Speaker 2: they limited him a bit because it was a big

1056
00:47:42,480 --> 00:47:45,640
Speaker 2: jump going from aliever to. Starter they didn't want to overwork. Him,

1057
00:47:45,880 --> 00:47:48,480
Speaker 2: fine but now they need him. To this is a

1058
00:47:48,560 --> 00:47:50,920
Speaker 2: rotation that has strided already on THE. El but then

1059
00:47:50,920 --> 00:47:53,479
Speaker 2: you Have Chris sale And Ronald lopez were definitely health.

1060
00:47:53,520 --> 00:47:57,480
Speaker 2: Risks Spencer. Schwalenbach there is some concern about the massive

1061
00:47:57,520 --> 00:47:59,359
Speaker 2: workload of one hundred and sixty seven innings last year

1062
00:47:59,360 --> 00:48:01,520
Speaker 2: between the miners and. MAJORS i don't have that as

1063
00:48:01,560 --> 00:48:04,040
Speaker 2: much as, others BUT i get. It long story shorts

1064
00:48:04,080 --> 00:48:05,799
Speaker 2: is That Grant holmes should be in this rotation as

1065
00:48:05,800 --> 00:48:08,919
Speaker 2: long as he's. Healthy AND i see a strikeout guy

1066
00:48:08,960 --> 00:48:13,520
Speaker 2: who has good command that is like the Old Cleveland guardians.

1067
00:48:13,880 --> 00:48:17,120
Speaker 2: Style So i'm a huge fan of that in this

1068
00:48:17,200 --> 00:48:20,160
Speaker 2: scenario at PICK i don't know three point fifty or something.

1069
00:48:20,200 --> 00:48:23,400
Speaker 1: Ridiculous, well but to your earlier, point you get a. Chance,

1070
00:48:24,040 --> 00:48:26,480
Speaker 1: Yeah and you made a comment earlier about, well you

1071
00:48:26,600 --> 00:48:29,759
