1
00:00:02,480 --> 00:00:04,800
Speaker 1: One of the great things about being a baseball fan

2
00:00:05,240 --> 00:00:08,799
Speaker 1: is there's always that next great crop of prospects coming up.

3
00:00:09,800 --> 00:00:13,760
Speaker 1: Sometimes they become legends, and sometimes they get traded and

4
00:00:13,800 --> 00:00:16,159
Speaker 1: throw an ice cream sandwich at a human being. In

5
00:00:16,200 --> 00:00:19,960
Speaker 1: this episode the Top Yankees Prospects for the twenty twenty

6
00:00:19,960 --> 00:00:23,479
Speaker 1: five season, we'll break down our favorite prospects, tell you

7
00:00:23,560 --> 00:00:25,960
Speaker 1: who should be untouchable in trades and who could be

8
00:00:26,079 --> 00:00:31,480
Speaker 1: used as trade bait. This is Pinstripe Territory wanted to talk.

9
00:00:31,560 --> 00:00:34,120
Speaker 2: That's all.

10
00:00:34,720 --> 00:00:40,640
Speaker 1: All right, Welcome back everybody. Welcome back twenty twenty five

11
00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:45,360
Speaker 1: Yankees Prospect Deep Dive. I am Derek Lewandowski, the host

12
00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:48,800
Speaker 1: of Pinstripe Territory. There's my co host, Terrence came out

13
00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:51,400
Speaker 1: there in California. How are you doing out there?

00:00:54,880 --> 00:00:58,000
Speaker 3: everyone had a good holiday, good new year. Got a haircut.

16
00:00:58,080 --> 00:01:04,200
Speaker 1: Finally, now, before the podcast, I gave one instruction to Terrence.

17
00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:07,399
Speaker 1: I said, this is gonna be an evergreen podcast because

18
00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:09,440
Speaker 1: we want to talk Yankees prospects. So if somebody picks

19
00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:11,640
Speaker 1: it up in July, we want it to be just

20
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:13,520
Speaker 1: as good as if they watched in January. So I

21
00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:16,520
Speaker 1: said one quick thing, let's not mention the holiday, Let's

22
00:01:16,520 --> 00:01:22,480
Speaker 1: not mention the new year. So right away, TK, breaking

23
00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:24,440
Speaker 1: all the rules. All right, let's talk a little bit

24
00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:29,160
Speaker 1: about this top prospect list that we got here for

25
00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:31,640
Speaker 1: the Yankees. We got our top twenty prospects. We're going

26
00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:35,320
Speaker 1: to go over everybody in detail and kind of tell

27
00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:39,800
Speaker 1: you who we think should be untouchable and talk about,

28
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:42,280
Speaker 1: you know, who we might use as trade bait. And

29
00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:44,760
Speaker 1: then we'll each have a sleeper pick one guy from

30
00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:48,320
Speaker 1: the bottom ten number is eleven through twenty that we

31
00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:52,160
Speaker 1: would pick to be like a guy who could really

32
00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:55,480
Speaker 1: break through and make an impact. So let's go ahead

33
00:01:55,520 --> 00:02:02,440
Speaker 1: and get started with thee in front of us, all right, TK,

34
00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:06,360
Speaker 1: So there are the top top twenty prospects. Let me

35
00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:07,800
Speaker 1: go ahead and run it down for the people who

36
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:10,240
Speaker 1: are listening. So we got Juandris Gomez at number twenty,

37
00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:14,800
Speaker 1: Clayton Beater at nineteen, Zach Messinger number eighteen, Orbert Vivas

38
00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:20,160
Speaker 1: number seventeen, ed Glen Perez at number sixteen, number fifteen,

39
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:24,919
Speaker 1: Francisco Valorio fourteen is Brando Maya Cuban prospect number thirteen,

40
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:27,959
Speaker 1: Kate Smith Number twelve Elmer Rodriguez Cruz, Yankees just picked

41
00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:30,639
Speaker 1: him up from Boston. Number eleven is Henry L. Lane,

42
00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:33,600
Speaker 1: who I just learned how to pronounce his name correctly.

43
00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:36,160
Speaker 1: I was putting the emphasis on the wrong salable. We

44
00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:39,000
Speaker 1: got Everson Pereira, who was a big prospect not too

45
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:40,960
Speaker 1: long ago, had kind of a tough year last year.

46
00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:44,959
Speaker 1: Number ten Bryce Cunningham and Ben Hess two college pitchers

47
00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:49,520
Speaker 1: the Yankees just drafted, and then Brock Selvage, Chase Hampton,

48
00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:52,200
Speaker 1: Will Warren all right handed or sorry, all pitchers. Brox

49
00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:55,280
Speaker 1: s elvit is left handed, Roderick Arius and George Lombard

50
00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:59,360
Speaker 1: junior both infielders, both young. Spencer Jones and Jason Dominguez

51
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:03,160
Speaker 1: likely Yankee starting left fielder is number one, So TK

52
00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:07,240
Speaker 1: just overall. Before we go into the prospect by prospect breakdown,

53
00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:08,959
Speaker 1: how are you feeling about our farm this year?

54
00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:12,720
Speaker 3: Well, Bleacher Report for one, isn't feeling too great. I

55
00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:16,160
Speaker 3: believe we're ranked the twenty ninth best farm system in

56
00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:18,639
Speaker 3: the league currently. I think a lot of that has

57
00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:21,400
Speaker 3: to do with some of the guys have graduated. We've

58
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:24,680
Speaker 3: traded some guys, so there's a couple of reasons for that,

59
00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:27,000
Speaker 3: but I think with the Yankees they'll be able to

60
00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:29,919
Speaker 3: kind of restock. I think there was one of the

61
00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:32,440
Speaker 3: top international prospects they were looking at signing too with

62
00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:34,000
Speaker 3: some of the bonus pool money. But we'll see how

63
00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:36,280
Speaker 3: that plays out. But I mean, there's definitely some names

64
00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:39,520
Speaker 3: on here that I that I like a lot. I'm

65
00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:43,360
Speaker 3: the noted Spencer Jones lover on this show that I've

66
00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:45,960
Speaker 3: always been super high on the guy. We'll get into

67
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:49,320
Speaker 3: that a little bit later. But Jason Demingez obviously the

68
00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:51,600
Speaker 3: guy is probably gonna be starting in left or center,

69
00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:54,280
Speaker 3: one of the two with Bellinger. However, they decide to

70
00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:57,280
Speaker 3: kind of line that up your Vivas a name I

71
00:03:57,280 --> 00:03:59,520
Speaker 3: remember we first got I was calling him Jorbit, but

72
00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:04,119
Speaker 3: it's or pronounced with like a y sound. They got

73
00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:05,800
Speaker 3: him in a trade. But yeah, I really like the

74
00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:10,160
Speaker 3: Hesse and Cunningham draft picks. Everson Pereira, we saw a

75
00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:13,200
Speaker 3: little bit of him, and then George Lombard Junior. I

76
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:16,040
Speaker 3: think that's a guy that we really should be excited about.

77
00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:19,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, let's start at the bottom. Let's go through

78
00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:21,680
Speaker 1: these guys one by one. Let's start with Gomez here.

79
00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:24,400
Speaker 1: You know, and just Gomez get a miss.

80
00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:26,520
Speaker 4: Gomez showing off.

81
00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:28,720
Speaker 1: We saw him the last couple of years. Made his

82
00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:31,839
Speaker 1: major league debut in twenty twenty three. Fastball sits ninety

83
00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:34,880
Speaker 1: two to ninety five miles an hour. He's got thirteen

84
00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:37,240
Speaker 1: and a third career innings in the major leagues with

85
00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:41,279
Speaker 1: fourteen strikeouts three point nine to seven ERA. There's a curve,

86
00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:43,560
Speaker 1: a slider, and a cutter. He is currently the Yankees

87
00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:47,599
Speaker 1: number twenty prospect out of Venezuela, signed for a meager

88
00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:52,320
Speaker 1: fifty thousand dollars back in twenty sixteen. I liked what

89
00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:54,760
Speaker 1: I saw from him. I like his stuff, I like

90
00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:57,760
Speaker 1: his mechanics. I feel like he could be one of

91
00:04:57,760 --> 00:04:59,560
Speaker 1: those guys who could break through and be a bullpen

92
00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:02,919
Speaker 1: piece year, maybe a spot starter. What'd you think you

93
00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:05,640
Speaker 1: know of Gomez from the little that we've seen of

94
00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:08,320
Speaker 1: him in the major leagues the last couple years.

95
00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:11,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, I got his Baseball Reference page up here, so

96
00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:14,960
Speaker 3: just looking at it, you really haven't seen that much.

97
00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:19,960
Speaker 3: I mean literally eleven and a third innings this past season.

98
00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:23,479
Speaker 3: So but yeah, he's got pretty good stuff. That heated

99
00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:25,440
Speaker 3: her at the top of the zone, works pretty well.

100
00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:28,279
Speaker 3: I kind of see him more a pretty high whip though,

101
00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:32,160
Speaker 3: one five eighty eight whip in those eleven innings with

102
00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:34,559
Speaker 3: a five eight to one FIP, so not like numbers

103
00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:36,160
Speaker 3: that are jumping off the page there. But he's got

104
00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:38,799
Speaker 3: good stuff. I think he could translate in the Matt

105
00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:43,080
Speaker 3: Blake black magic lab that he's got over there and

106
00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:45,200
Speaker 3: see if he can really kind of turn him into

107
00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:47,960
Speaker 3: like a solid middle reliever that can eat some innings.

108
00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:50,600
Speaker 3: I mean, I don't think he's gonna be a superstar

109
00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:53,279
Speaker 3: All Star type reliever, but can he eat some innings

110
00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:53,479
Speaker 3: for us?

111
00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:53,760
Speaker 4: Yeah?

112
00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:56,160
Speaker 3: I think that there's definitely some stuff in there for sure.

113
00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:58,640
Speaker 1: Yeah. One thing to keep in mind for these prospects,

114
00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:03,719
Speaker 1: everybody is one. Everybody's a work in progress at this point.

115
00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:05,559
Speaker 1: A lot of these guys have not peaked. They haven't

116
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:09,800
Speaker 1: reached their final form. Sometimes you'll see bad stats in

117
00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:12,000
Speaker 1: the minor leagues and that won't necessarily translate to the

118
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:14,080
Speaker 1: type of player they are because they're working on things.

119
00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:17,880
Speaker 1: Especially pitchers, like they'll intentionally throw pitches that are not

120
00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:20,680
Speaker 1: their strongest pitch because they're trying to develop it. They'll

121
00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:22,800
Speaker 1: throw it in certain counts and hitters counts. Things like

122
00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:26,360
Speaker 1: that they're trying to get better, So don't read too

123
00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:29,560
Speaker 1: much into stats. Look more at like stuff at prospect

124
00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:32,279
Speaker 1: scouting reports, at this you know, at the younger ages.

125
00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:35,160
Speaker 1: Let's get into number nineteen, a guy we got for

126
00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:36,240
Speaker 1: Joey Gallo.

127
00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:38,200
Speaker 4: Three.

128
00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:44,560
Speaker 1: Clayton Beeterer made his major league debut this year six two,

129
00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:47,240
Speaker 1: two twenty. I always felt like he looks like a

130
00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:51,320
Speaker 1: Roger Clemens type of body, like very strong forearms, very

131
00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:54,840
Speaker 1: strong legs. He did have a shoulder injury this year

132
00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:56,960
Speaker 1: that limited his time, but he was dominant when he

133
00:06:57,000 --> 00:07:00,000
Speaker 1: was out there. Two point oh eight ERA, thirty nine innings,

134
00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:03,440
Speaker 1: fifty six strikeouts in the minors, nineteen hits, one home run,

135
00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:07,000
Speaker 1: twenty one walks. He is the yankees nineteenth overall prospect.

136
00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:09,520
Speaker 1: He pitched a little bit in the major leagues. He

137
00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:12,360
Speaker 1: showcased some pretty good stuff. I mean, ninety six ninety

138
00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:15,680
Speaker 1: seven mile an hour fastball slider looks pretty good. I

139
00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:19,200
Speaker 1: think there's room to improve there, and obviously once somebody

140
00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:22,200
Speaker 1: starts to have shoulder issues, there's always a little bit

141
00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:24,800
Speaker 1: of concern there. But you know, I'm one of the

142
00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:27,240
Speaker 1: few people who's pretty high on Clayton. Peter I would

143
00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:30,240
Speaker 1: have him ranked higher than nineteenth in my list. But

144
00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:32,840
Speaker 1: one of the reasons he's kind of ranked so low

145
00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:35,280
Speaker 1: is because he is twenty six years old. He's a

146
00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:38,640
Speaker 1: little bit older. He's had some injury issues, some injury concerns.

147
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:40,320
Speaker 1: What are your thoughts on Clayton Peter.

148
00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:43,280
Speaker 3: Hey, Listen, the fact that we got him for Joey Gallop,

149
00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:46,200
Speaker 3: that's like a w in itself fact we're able to

150
00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:48,560
Speaker 3: get something back other than a bag of balls for

151
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:51,600
Speaker 3: Joey Gallop. But yeah, like you said, twenty six years old,

152
00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:54,560
Speaker 3: we're starting to get to that expiration date a little

153
00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:57,640
Speaker 3: bit for prospects, which is really harsh to say, because like,

154
00:07:57,640 --> 00:08:00,080
Speaker 3: twenty six years old, it's really not that old, but

155
00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:03,360
Speaker 3: in baseball world it is. He's got good stuff. We've

156
00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:06,040
Speaker 3: seen a little bit from him. The shoulder injury is

157
00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:10,040
Speaker 3: concerning to me, Derek. Usually with pitchers, shoulder problems is

158
00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:13,880
Speaker 3: not really a good sign. I'd much rather a pitcher

159
00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:17,239
Speaker 3: get Tommy John surgery. Obviously, we've kind of perfected that surgery.

160
00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:18,760
Speaker 3: It's just like a year off and you come back.

161
00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:23,120
Speaker 3: But shoulder problems, it's not really something that is such

162
00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:25,680
Speaker 3: a cut and dry. Hey, you got surgery, you come

163
00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:29,080
Speaker 3: back in a year, which TJ is. That's why when

164
00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:31,640
Speaker 3: we traded away Nestor, I wasn't like super beat up

165
00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:34,160
Speaker 3: about it. I loved him, but like shoulder problems as well.

166
00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:36,520
Speaker 3: So Clayton beetr Yeah, I think he could be again

167
00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:39,520
Speaker 3: solid middle relief bullpen piece, but the shoulder problems are

168
00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:40,560
Speaker 3: a little bit concerning to me.

169
00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:43,839
Speaker 1: Yeah. I think about Michael Pineda, who the Yankees got

170
00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:46,800
Speaker 1: for Jesus Montero, former top prospect, the one who threw

171
00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:49,559
Speaker 1: the ice cream sandwich at the guy we mentioned in

172
00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:52,600
Speaker 1: the intro. We got Panda and immediately he tore his

173
00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:54,800
Speaker 1: labor and he was never the same. He was dominant

174
00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:57,800
Speaker 1: with one hundred mile an hour fastball with Seattle. Once

175
00:08:57,800 --> 00:08:59,520
Speaker 1: he came over to the Yankees, he was never quite

176
00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:01,640
Speaker 1: the same. I'll talk a little bit about number eighteen,

177
00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:08,840
Speaker 1: Zach Messinger. He is twenty five years old. The fastball

178
00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:11,920
Speaker 1: can touch ninety nine miles an hour. I'm very high

179
00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:15,480
Speaker 1: on this guy. Sixty six, one hundred and seventy one pounds,

180
00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:18,960
Speaker 1: so he's wirey strong. You know, there's different body types.

181
00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:20,719
Speaker 1: Right we look at Clayton Beieter, we see a guy

182
00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:23,080
Speaker 1: who's big and strong and just uses all of his

183
00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:26,760
Speaker 1: mask to generate velocity. Zach Messenger's the guy who has

184
00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:29,200
Speaker 1: that whip like arm action, kind of like Louise Heal,

185
00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:31,560
Speaker 1: strong but in a wiry kind of why three point

186
00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:34,880
Speaker 1: zero six era in the minor leagues one hundred and

187
00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:37,080
Speaker 1: fifty inning, one hundred and thirty six strikeouts, so less

188
00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:39,680
Speaker 1: than a strike operating, But I like his mechanics for

189
00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:42,120
Speaker 1: a thirteenth round draft pick. The fact that he's up

190
00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:44,920
Speaker 1: this high on the list is kind of an achievement

191
00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:48,120
Speaker 1: in itself. But I like what I'm seeing from Zach

192
00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:50,520
Speaker 1: Messinger in just the you know, little bit that I've

193
00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:54,280
Speaker 1: looked at in terms of highlights and scouting reports. I

194
00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:56,439
Speaker 1: like the slider. It's getting better. It's got more of

195
00:09:56,440 --> 00:09:58,120
Speaker 1: a one plane than you'd like. You'd like to have

196
00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:01,120
Speaker 1: a little more depth. But thoughts on Zach Messenger.

197
00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:06,360
Speaker 3: He has a cool name, uh Messenger messages as a pitch.

198
00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:07,800
Speaker 3: I don't know you could play around with that. But

199
00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:10,920
Speaker 3: I like him a lot too. I really like his delivery.

200
00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:13,360
Speaker 3: He's got kind of that really good whip action, that

201
00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:17,160
Speaker 3: wiry frame. I don't think he's gonna be Jacob deGrom,

202
00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:19,000
Speaker 3: but Jacob de Gram has a little bit of that.

203
00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:21,160
Speaker 3: He's like very tall and wiry and kind of just

204
00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:24,920
Speaker 3: whips it through there, throws very hard. Coming out of UVA,

205
00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:29,319
Speaker 3: good baseball school, good pitching school. I really like his stuff,

206
00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:31,280
Speaker 3: and like, yeah, the breaking ball, it is getting better,

207
00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:32,920
Speaker 3: like you said, but I think the ball, the way

208
00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:34,600
Speaker 3: it comes out of his hand is really nice. It's

209
00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:37,440
Speaker 3: a very effortless heat, which is always what you like

210
00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:40,319
Speaker 3: to see. You could probably pack on a few pounds

211
00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:43,000
Speaker 3: a little bit too, and kind of protect his body

212
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:44,839
Speaker 3: a little bit if you wanted to. I don't think

213
00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:47,680
Speaker 3: it's really necessary. But I think for the slider, maybe

214
00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:49,520
Speaker 3: they play around with his grip and make it more

215
00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:51,280
Speaker 3: of like a twelve six curve and try to get

216
00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:52,640
Speaker 3: on top of that thing a little bit more, just

217
00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:54,080
Speaker 3: to get a little bit more of that depth you

218
00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:56,600
Speaker 3: were talking about coming off the high heat. That would

219
00:10:56,640 --> 00:10:58,920
Speaker 3: be pretty effective, I think. And then I don't know

220
00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:01,480
Speaker 3: whether he profiles as as a starter or reliever. He's

221
00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:04,439
Speaker 3: he's pretty much starting games in the minds right now, right, Yeah, yeah,

222
00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:07,760
Speaker 3: he's starting. Yeah, so twenty five games started last season.

223
00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:10,920
Speaker 3: He actually had a really nice season in Somerset. So

224
00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:13,200
Speaker 3: you said, don't buy into the stats too much, but

225
00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:14,520
Speaker 3: I am for him because they're good.

226
00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:18,440
Speaker 1: So we bight into the star the stats that support

227
00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:20,559
Speaker 1: what we want to be true. Yeah, exactly.

228
00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:23,080
Speaker 3: I am a fan Derek, but I do like him

229
00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:25,400
Speaker 3: a lot. I like his stuff and I'd like to

230
00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:27,640
Speaker 3: hold on him. I think that, you know, double a

231
00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:30,000
Speaker 3: this year. I think it's possible he cracks the roster

232
00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:31,960
Speaker 3: in September, maybe a little bit earlier than that if

233
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:33,680
Speaker 3: there are some injuries. I hope that there are not,

234
00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:36,480
Speaker 3: but you never know. It's baseball and pitchers get hurt.

235
00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:39,319
Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree with you, and I'm going to put

236
00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:41,200
Speaker 1: him on my short list for when we pick our

237
00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:44,839
Speaker 1: sleeper picks. Later on in the show, talk about your bit,

238
00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:47,120
Speaker 1: VV was hitting here well to right field that ball

239
00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:50,040
Speaker 1: is gone? Has be boss clubs it? I think that

240
00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:53,560
Speaker 1: announcer said, be boss. He has advanced back to ball

241
00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:56,280
Speaker 1: skills five nine hundred and seventy one pounds, so he's

242
00:11:56,280 --> 00:11:57,920
Speaker 1: not a huge guy. He can play second, he can

243
00:11:57,960 --> 00:12:00,720
Speaker 1: play third, two twenty five average. Last year he had

244
00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:03,160
Speaker 1: an orbital fracture, really struggled to come back from that.

245
00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:05,160
Speaker 1: There was some talk in spring training that maybe he

246
00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:07,760
Speaker 1: could make the team, and then he got hurt nine

247
00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:10,800
Speaker 1: home runs, seventy six strikeout sixty three walks, so he

248
00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:13,160
Speaker 1: doesn't strike out a ton. That's in one hundred and

249
00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:16,400
Speaker 1: one minor league games this year. Seventeenth overall prospect. Yankees

250
00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:19,880
Speaker 1: got him in a trade from the Los Angeles Dodgers,

251
00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:22,360
Speaker 1: like so many of their prospects. I tell you what,

252
00:12:22,360 --> 00:12:25,920
Speaker 1: those Dodgers, they got a first class Yankees farm system

253
00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:29,440
Speaker 1: over there, giving us multiple prospects over the last few years.

254
00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:31,559
Speaker 1: Any thoughts on on Vivas.

255
00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:35,640
Speaker 3: It's funny you mentioned that the team that's like that

256
00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:37,719
Speaker 3: for us is like the Pittsburgh Pirates, Like we just

257
00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:39,400
Speaker 3: kind of that's our farm system.

258
00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:39,640
Speaker 1: Right.

259
00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:42,040
Speaker 3: Vivas.

260
00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:42,560
Speaker 1: I don't know.

261
00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:45,360
Speaker 3: You tell me there, Derek. But whenever I look at

262
00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:48,000
Speaker 3: Orbit Vivas, who I thought it was Jorbit for like

263
00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:51,199
Speaker 3: the longest time, but Yorbit Vivas, whenever I watch him play,

264
00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:53,360
Speaker 3: I just see Rube neet Odor.

265
00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:57,079
Speaker 1: Very similar swing, very similar stance, and he's got the

266
00:12:57,120 --> 00:12:59,320
Speaker 1: big leg kick. I've never been a huge fan of

267
00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:01,760
Speaker 1: big leg. I feel like that's a lot of movement.

268
00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:05,720
Speaker 1: It works for some guys like but I don't, you know,

269
00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:07,920
Speaker 1: Labor tours. Always felt like he hit better when he

270
00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:09,280
Speaker 1: got rid of the like kick and just went to

271
00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:11,719
Speaker 1: kind of like a tap right. And then you know

272
00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:14,120
Speaker 1: there's some guys like if you're a power hitter, you

273
00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:17,800
Speaker 1: know it works great for prime Josh Donaldson, but as

274
00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:20,280
Speaker 1: he got older, you know that leg kick was it

275
00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:23,400
Speaker 1: really was a hindrance because it limited his reaction time.

276
00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:25,960
Speaker 1: I think, so, you know, I don't love the light kick.

277
00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:28,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I'm not that high on him. I

278
00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:32,160
Speaker 3: think it's nice to have him as some depth in

279
00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:34,520
Speaker 3: the minor leagues if again, there's an injury. But I

280
00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:36,600
Speaker 3: don't really see him anything more than that. Again, when

281
00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:39,360
Speaker 3: I watch him play, I see a lot of rubenet Odor.

282
00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:42,439
Speaker 3: The same kind of body type, same position, second base,

283
00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:45,880
Speaker 3: same swing. He has played a little bit of left field,

284
00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:47,800
Speaker 3: it looks like, so maybe he can turn into like

285
00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:50,760
Speaker 3: a utility piece if he's got that athleticism. But I

286
00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:53,000
Speaker 3: don't really see much more than that for him.

287
00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:55,679
Speaker 1: To be honest, Let's talk about one of the cooler

288
00:13:55,800 --> 00:13:58,360
Speaker 1: names again. They get a lot of cooler names. Messenger

289
00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:02,880
Speaker 1: Vivas and ed Glean. Perez kind of reminds me of

290
00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:08,080
Speaker 1: the serial killer ed Gean defensively polished catcher. He's one

291
00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:09,840
Speaker 1: of the few Yankees in the system that's more of

292
00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:13,040
Speaker 1: a contact approach guy. He's very patient, not much power

293
00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:15,319
Speaker 1: to speak of yet. He's only nineteen years old. To

294
00:14:15,559 --> 00:14:20,120
Speaker 1: seventy two average, two home runs, sixty six strikeout, seventy

295
00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:22,120
Speaker 1: five walks, so he walked more than he struck out.

296
00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:27,400
Speaker 1: Yankees number sixteen overall prospect. I really don't know much

297
00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:29,360
Speaker 1: about him. I've never seen him play. I've never seen

298
00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:32,280
Speaker 1: him in spring training or anything like that. But as

299
00:14:32,680 --> 00:14:35,600
Speaker 1: it looks, he's the only catcher in our top twenty

300
00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:38,400
Speaker 1: right now, so you know.

301
00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:41,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't really know much about him as well,

302
00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:45,000
Speaker 3: just generally with these younger guys when they're eighteen nineteen

303
00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:48,240
Speaker 3: years old out of the Dominican Republic or Cuba, Venezuela

304
00:14:48,280 --> 00:14:51,800
Speaker 3: or whatever. Generally, when they're that young, you haven't seen

305
00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:53,520
Speaker 3: a ton of them. You don't know much about him.

306
00:14:53,520 --> 00:14:55,960
Speaker 3: But he is our highest rated catcher, and we did

307
00:14:56,080 --> 00:15:00,160
Speaker 3: just trade away Jose Travino, So the catching depth is

308
00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:03,880
Speaker 3: in Arviaas and oar Bias as well. So the catching

309
00:15:03,880 --> 00:15:06,280
Speaker 3: depth is a little finn I think they probably will

310
00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:08,480
Speaker 3: address that through free agency, but that's a different video.

311
00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:12,320
Speaker 3: Cool first name, like you said, Ed Glean, never heard

312
00:15:12,400 --> 00:15:16,280
Speaker 3: that before, but contact approach interesting. He's not that big

313
00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:18,920
Speaker 3: five ten, one fifty five. But what makes me kind

314
00:15:18,920 --> 00:15:20,480
Speaker 3: of throw up in my mouth here is that he's

315
00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:23,680
Speaker 3: born in two thousand and six, so think that was

316
00:15:23,800 --> 00:15:27,280
Speaker 3: three years before the two thousand and nine championship. We're

317
00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:29,640
Speaker 3: getting to a point, Derek, where our prospects are gonna

318
00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:33,040
Speaker 3: not be born in the lifespan of a Yankee Championship.

319
00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:36,160
Speaker 1: It's it's gotta win one soon, gotta win one soon.

320
00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:36,520
Speaker 3: Yep.

321
00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:41,840
Speaker 1: All right. Let's move on to Francisco Valorio, another guy

322
00:15:41,880 --> 00:15:46,000
Speaker 1: that is on the younger side, just eighteen years old,

323
00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:49,160
Speaker 1: top international signee in twenty four. They didn't give him

324
00:15:49,160 --> 00:15:51,440
Speaker 1: as much money as they have to recent prospects like

325
00:15:51,640 --> 00:15:54,480
Speaker 1: Arius or Dominge. Is just one point seventy five million

326
00:15:54,480 --> 00:15:59,360
Speaker 1: out of the Dominican elite bat speed, potential, power, swing

327
00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:01,000
Speaker 1: and miss has it's been a problem for him and

328
00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:02,600
Speaker 1: it's one of the things that scouts say, and he's

329
00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:04,800
Speaker 1: one of the guys who sells out for power and

330
00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:07,080
Speaker 1: hit one ninety six with four home runs, eight are

331
00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:11,920
Speaker 1: eight stolen bases, eight doubles in forty two professional games

332
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:16,120
Speaker 1: so far. You know, I kind of like guys who

333
00:16:16,160 --> 00:16:19,080
Speaker 1: develop power over time. Typically, if a young player is

334
00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:21,800
Speaker 1: like selling out for power already, it doesn't say a

335
00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:24,040
Speaker 1: lot about Like I've seen so many guys come along

336
00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:25,800
Speaker 1: like that that just don't make it. You know, once

337
00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:30,480
Speaker 1: you see better minor leagues are better, nearer major league stuff,

338
00:16:30,800 --> 00:16:32,440
Speaker 1: those guys fall off the mat. They can't hit a

339
00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:35,440
Speaker 1: great curveball that's spotted or great slider.

340
00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:36,040
Speaker 4: Yeah.

341
00:16:36,480 --> 00:16:39,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, guys who sell out for power. It's kind of

342
00:16:39,080 --> 00:16:41,960
Speaker 3: like a major league Serrano can hit you know exactly what,

343
00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:44,440
Speaker 3: he just swings out of his shoes for a breaking vall.

344
00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:46,640
Speaker 1: And by the way, I'm not saying this guy's going

345
00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:49,640
Speaker 1: to be like that. It's just that approach. It's a

346
00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:50,440
Speaker 1: red flag for me.

347
00:16:50,920 --> 00:16:53,080
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, no, I totally agree with you. I don't

348
00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:56,160
Speaker 3: really love another cool name, by the way, but I

349
00:16:56,200 --> 00:17:00,400
Speaker 3: don't really love the sellout for power approach at a

350
00:17:00,400 --> 00:17:02,640
Speaker 3: young age like that, when you're trying to adjust to

351
00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:07,000
Speaker 3: professional pitching, because even down there they're still throwing hard.

352
00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:09,760
Speaker 3: The stuff's still nasty, like you got to make adjustments.

353
00:17:09,760 --> 00:17:12,120
Speaker 3: And also it's good for the confidence to like hit

354
00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:14,000
Speaker 3: the ball and hit the ball well you just strike

355
00:17:14,080 --> 00:17:15,879
Speaker 3: out a lot. That kind of messes with you mentally.

356
00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:19,280
Speaker 3: And I'm not a huge fan of that, but with

357
00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:22,679
Speaker 3: prospects at this age in the Islands like that, I

358
00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:24,639
Speaker 3: will say a quick story. I went down to the

359
00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:27,159
Speaker 3: dr when I was sixteen to play against those kids,

360
00:17:27,520 --> 00:17:29,120
Speaker 3: and this is when I realized that I wasn't gonna

361
00:17:29,119 --> 00:17:32,119
Speaker 3: be a professional baseball player. But we played against a

362
00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:34,800
Speaker 3: guy who signed with the Kansas City Royals for two

363
00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:38,240
Speaker 3: million dollars. His name was Jason Guzman j Ei Soon

364
00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:40,919
Speaker 3: and this guy signed for like two million dollars and

365
00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:43,000
Speaker 3: he was one of their top ten prospects. He never

366
00:17:43,040 --> 00:17:45,040
Speaker 3: made it out of hig A. And this was one

367
00:17:45,080 --> 00:17:47,440
Speaker 3: of the best players I've ever seen in my life.

368
00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:51,639
Speaker 3: Guy was hitting missiles, smoothest hands I've ever seen, so

369
00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:54,000
Speaker 3: like you just don't know, and he was ranked high

370
00:17:54,040 --> 00:17:56,480
Speaker 3: so for this. Yeah, the swing out of your shoes

371
00:17:56,520 --> 00:17:59,879
Speaker 3: approach all for power. Not really a huge fan for that,

372
00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:01,520
Speaker 3: but maybe I'm wrong, that's just me.

373
00:18:02,040 --> 00:18:05,280
Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, let's talk a little bit about another guy

374
00:18:05,320 --> 00:18:08,879
Speaker 1: who has a lot of upside. Uh maybe some Yankees

375
00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:12,199
Speaker 1: fans have heard of him. Brando mayea. Uh. He was

376
00:18:12,320 --> 00:18:15,920
Speaker 1: an international signee, another high dollar guy four point three

377
00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:20,160
Speaker 1: five million dollars out of Cuba, elite speed and plus

378
00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:22,760
Speaker 1: arm strength. He seems like one of these great baseball

379
00:18:22,760 --> 00:18:26,760
Speaker 1: player kind of guys, a contact hitter, potential leadoff guy

380
00:18:26,840 --> 00:18:29,880
Speaker 1: in the future. Already in seventy three professional games, two

381
00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:33,359
Speaker 1: seventy nine average, three seventy on base percentage with forty

382
00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:35,800
Speaker 1: one stolen basis. So he's a guy who gets on

383
00:18:35,880 --> 00:18:38,760
Speaker 1: base and then has elite speed once he's there. Not

384
00:18:38,840 --> 00:18:41,640
Speaker 1: a huge power guy. I'm okay with that. I think

385
00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:44,879
Speaker 1: they need more contact and speed guys in the organization,

386
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:47,879
Speaker 1: just to give them some options. You know, the Yankees

387
00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:51,000
Speaker 1: roster tends to get a little bit clunky from time

388
00:18:51,040 --> 00:18:53,960
Speaker 1: to time. Now he's young, nineteen, but we're seeing players

389
00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:56,119
Speaker 1: give to the major leagues quicker and quicker. I think

390
00:18:56,160 --> 00:18:58,159
Speaker 1: he's a guy who could be up at like twenty one,

391
00:18:58,280 --> 00:19:00,960
Speaker 1: twenty two if he has a really good a couple

392
00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:03,160
Speaker 1: of years in the minors, Like he profiles as one

393
00:19:03,160 --> 00:19:05,480
Speaker 1: of these guys who's gonna move quickly.

394
00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:09,680
Speaker 3: No, for sure, I'm seeing here that this past year

395
00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:11,600
Speaker 3: he played in a rookie ball Is that right? So

396
00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:15,560
Speaker 3: he's probably gonna start in I would think high a ball.

397
00:19:15,840 --> 00:19:17,120
Speaker 3: I think he'll start.

398
00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:19,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, maybe Hudson Valley. Maybe Hudson Valley. They might put

399
00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:21,880
Speaker 1: him in. They did that with Domingaz. They put Domingez

400
00:19:21,880 --> 00:19:24,439
Speaker 1: in Hudson Valley for like a month and then you

401
00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:25,320
Speaker 1: move on to Tampa.

402
00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:28,480
Speaker 3: So one of the two. He's not gonna start super

403
00:19:28,560 --> 00:19:31,399
Speaker 3: high up in the system. But I do really like

404
00:19:31,520 --> 00:19:35,840
Speaker 3: the the numbers there. And again, I think speed and athleticism.

405
00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:38,520
Speaker 3: The way the game is is headed. The direction we're

406
00:19:38,560 --> 00:19:42,080
Speaker 3: going in, I think is probably going to reward speed

407
00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:45,400
Speaker 3: and athleticism. With the new rules with you can only

408
00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:48,399
Speaker 3: pick off twice, and they're trying to promote athleticism on

409
00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:50,240
Speaker 3: the bay pass, the base pass, so I think that's

410
00:19:50,240 --> 00:19:52,159
Speaker 3: really gonna help him and there's really gonna benefit from that.

411
00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:55,080
Speaker 3: So this is definitely a guy I think who could

412
00:19:55,640 --> 00:19:58,399
Speaker 3: potentially make an impact with the major league level and

413
00:19:58,400 --> 00:19:59,879
Speaker 3: maybe let's say two or three years.

414
00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:03,359
Speaker 1: Let's talk a little bit about Kate Smith, not the

415
00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:06,600
Speaker 1: pitcher for the Guardians, as the Yankees prospect. Kate Smith,

416
00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:10,000
Speaker 1: another pitcher, bats left, he throws right, He sixty one.

417
00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:14,320
Speaker 1: He's got a really good slider, polished college pitcher fastball

418
00:20:14,359 --> 00:20:17,600
Speaker 1: can top out at ninety seven in his debut season

419
00:20:17,640 --> 00:20:21,040
Speaker 1: in the professional ranks last year at an a plus

420
00:20:21,080 --> 00:20:24,040
Speaker 1: six and seven record. Don't worry too much about the

421
00:20:24,040 --> 00:20:27,919
Speaker 1: win loss three point sixty five era so solid, polished pitcher,

422
00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:32,000
Speaker 1: number thirteen overall prospect, sixth round draft pick in twenty

423
00:20:32,080 --> 00:20:35,280
Speaker 1: twenty three. He's gonna be twenty three years old this season.

424
00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:37,320
Speaker 1: He's somebody to keep an eye on that could move

425
00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:39,400
Speaker 1: quickly like. He's the type of guy that is pop

426
00:20:39,520 --> 00:20:41,960
Speaker 1: like a polished college pitcher, and the Yankees have a

427
00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:44,240
Speaker 1: few of those guys. And I noticed that's one of

428
00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:47,400
Speaker 1: the reasons that they drafted Ben Hesse and Bryce Cunningham

429
00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:50,639
Speaker 1: because in recent years they've traded you know, the JP

430
00:20:50,800 --> 00:20:54,520
Speaker 1: series and the ken Waalder Chuck and uh was the

431
00:20:54,600 --> 00:20:58,719
Speaker 1: Vasquez guy to uh, I forget his first name that

432
00:20:58,800 --> 00:21:03,600
Speaker 1: got traded for, so Randy Vasquez, that's right. His name

433
00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:06,840
Speaker 1: was escaping me. So yeah, I feel like they're trying

434
00:21:06,880 --> 00:21:08,560
Speaker 1: to replenish the coffers a little bit with some of

435
00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:12,320
Speaker 1: these polished college pitchers. There's been talking recent years about,

436
00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:16,080
Speaker 1: you know, maybe the minor league's getting completely streamlined like

437
00:21:16,119 --> 00:21:17,879
Speaker 1: to where it's like one minor league level, almost like

438
00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:20,879
Speaker 1: a G league, and then college baseball becomes like the

439
00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:22,680
Speaker 1: new minor leagues.

440
00:21:25,080 --> 00:21:29,000
Speaker 3: I've been been saying that for the last ten years

441
00:21:29,080 --> 00:21:32,840
Speaker 3: that college football and college basketball are both basically a

442
00:21:32,920 --> 00:21:35,320
Speaker 3: minor league for the NBA in the NFL, And I

443
00:21:35,359 --> 00:21:38,760
Speaker 3: know that baseball as a sport, it's hard to do that,

444
00:21:39,040 --> 00:21:41,919
Speaker 3: just because hitting a baseball is so hard and you

445
00:21:42,040 --> 00:21:45,159
Speaker 3: kind of need to like incrementally make it more and

446
00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:48,280
Speaker 3: more difficult. And I think that a lot of times

447
00:21:48,359 --> 00:21:50,199
Speaker 3: guys are gonna kind of drown if they go right

448
00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:51,000
Speaker 3: to the major leagues.

449
00:21:51,080 --> 00:21:51,199
Speaker 4: Right.

450
00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:54,240
Speaker 3: There are special special players that that skip all that, right,

451
00:21:54,240 --> 00:21:57,959
Speaker 3: but mostly with pitchers, right Paul Sken's Chris Sale like

452
00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:00,040
Speaker 3: those guys just like skip the minors. But you I

453
00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:02,920
Speaker 3: don't really see that with hitters as much. So if

454
00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:06,679
Speaker 3: it were me, I think I would probably do I

455
00:22:06,680 --> 00:22:09,040
Speaker 3: would probably do two minor leagues. I would do Triple

456
00:22:09,119 --> 00:22:11,320
Speaker 3: A and I would do like rookie ball, and then

457
00:22:11,320 --> 00:22:13,359
Speaker 3: I would have this huge gap between the two, and

458
00:22:13,359 --> 00:22:16,199
Speaker 3: then college baseball would be obviously, you know, kind of

459
00:22:16,240 --> 00:22:17,119
Speaker 3: the other minor league.

460
00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:22,160
Speaker 1: Interesting interesting idea, Yeah, I mean schemes through the miners

461
00:22:22,280 --> 00:22:25,840
Speaker 1: very fast. It occasionally happens with with position players, but

462
00:22:25,920 --> 00:22:31,520
Speaker 1: usually it's guys like Poohole's Juan Soto, like legendary hitters. Right, yeahrout,

463
00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:34,119
Speaker 1: It doesn't happen that often. Domingez was only in the

464
00:22:34,119 --> 00:22:36,040
Speaker 1: minor leagues for two years, didn't have amazing stats, but

465
00:22:36,160 --> 00:22:39,920
Speaker 1: he moved really quickly. So did Anthony Volpi. So interesting.

466
00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:42,200
Speaker 1: All right, let's talk a little bit about a guy

467
00:22:42,200 --> 00:22:46,800
Speaker 1: that we just picked up, Elmer Rodrigrez. Cruz just picked

468
00:22:46,840 --> 00:22:50,720
Speaker 1: him up from Boston already the Yankees number twelve prospects six,

469
00:22:50,760 --> 00:22:53,840
Speaker 1: three hundred and sixty pounds, so another you know, wiry

470
00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:57,040
Speaker 1: kind of guy. H ninety eight mile an hour fastball.

471
00:22:57,080 --> 00:22:59,399
Speaker 1: There's a slider, a curve, and a splitter. Two point

472
00:22:59,440 --> 00:23:02,240
Speaker 1: six zero era in one hundred and eighty three minor

473
00:23:02,320 --> 00:23:05,560
Speaker 1: league innings, one hundred and ninety five strikeouts, eighty five walks.

474
00:23:05,560 --> 00:23:07,360
Speaker 1: So the walks are a bit of a concern. That's

475
00:23:07,359 --> 00:23:09,200
Speaker 1: more walks than you want one point to to whip.

476
00:23:09,520 --> 00:23:11,720
Speaker 1: The numbers look good, and this is one of those spots.

477
00:23:11,760 --> 00:23:14,439
Speaker 1: Like you said, I choose to believe because the numbers

478
00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:16,160
Speaker 1: support what I want to be true that he could

479
00:23:16,200 --> 00:23:18,280
Speaker 1: be a great pitcher, but two point six to oh

480
00:23:18,359 --> 00:23:22,640
Speaker 1: era not easy no matter what level you're in. Traded

481
00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:25,359
Speaker 1: to the Yankees from the Red Sox for Carlos Narvaiyez

482
00:23:25,400 --> 00:23:29,120
Speaker 1: just a couple of weeks ago. Any thoughts on Rodriguez Cruz.

483
00:23:29,880 --> 00:23:33,200
Speaker 3: A ninety eight miles an hour with a split, that'll play. Yeah,

484
00:23:33,280 --> 00:23:37,280
Speaker 3: that'll play pretty much anywhere. I think he probably is

485
00:23:37,359 --> 00:23:40,359
Speaker 3: better as a reliever than a starter. Also, the Yankees

486
00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:43,040
Speaker 3: are pretty pretty good at starter right now. I think

487
00:23:43,080 --> 00:23:46,399
Speaker 3: bulpen pieces are better. But yeah, I think that he's

488
00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:49,520
Speaker 3: only twenty one years old as well. The guy was

489
00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:52,440
Speaker 3: an a ball last year with Boston, so he could

490
00:23:52,520 --> 00:23:54,399
Speaker 3: kind of you could stick him in double A and

491
00:23:54,440 --> 00:23:56,000
Speaker 3: just see how he does, and then if he does

492
00:23:56,040 --> 00:23:57,920
Speaker 3: really well, I guess stick him in triple A, see

493
00:23:57,960 --> 00:23:59,440
Speaker 3: how he does, and then if there's an injury, bring

494
00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:01,840
Speaker 3: him up. I wouldn't really be that surprised if we

495
00:24:01,960 --> 00:24:05,280
Speaker 3: see him this year at some point later on, especially

496
00:24:05,320 --> 00:24:07,000
Speaker 3: if there is an injury. But just you know, to

497
00:24:07,040 --> 00:24:09,399
Speaker 3: eat some innings. But yeah, ninety eight with a split,

498
00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:11,560
Speaker 3: I don't even need two other pitches. How about just

499
00:24:11,720 --> 00:24:13,760
Speaker 3: concentrate on those two and fine.

500
00:24:13,720 --> 00:24:16,760
Speaker 1: Be a lights out relief pitcher. Yeah. So, so we

501
00:24:16,800 --> 00:24:19,359
Speaker 1: just had a mention of Drew Thorpe in the chat,

502
00:24:19,359 --> 00:24:20,679
Speaker 1: so I wanted to check in and see how he

503
00:24:20,720 --> 00:24:22,760
Speaker 1: did statistically this year because he was part of the

504
00:24:23,800 --> 00:24:26,880
Speaker 1: Sodo trade. Ended up going to the White Sox later

505
00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:30,360
Speaker 1: on for the Dylan Cease trade. And in the major

506
00:24:30,440 --> 00:24:32,080
Speaker 1: leagues he went three and three with a five point

507
00:24:32,160 --> 00:24:35,879
Speaker 1: eight nine ERA nine starts, forty four and a third innings,

508
00:24:35,920 --> 00:24:38,760
Speaker 1: twenty five strikeouts, but in the minors seven and one

509
00:24:38,760 --> 00:24:40,399
Speaker 1: with a one point three to five years. So he

510
00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:47,960
Speaker 1: dominated double A with the with Chicago White Sox. So look,

511
00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:50,720
Speaker 1: sometimes sometimes they were hit, sometimes they're not. I was

512
00:24:50,720 --> 00:24:53,159
Speaker 1: always skeptical over Drew Thorpe because he didn't have a

513
00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:55,720
Speaker 1: great fastball, right, that's the biggest indicator of success, and

514
00:24:55,720 --> 00:24:57,719
Speaker 1: his was not great. All right. So here is one

515
00:24:57,760 --> 00:25:01,280
Speaker 1: of the other guys on my sleeper possibility list, and

516
00:25:01,320 --> 00:25:05,040
Speaker 1: that is Henry Laalana. He struck him out strikeout number

517
00:25:05,119 --> 00:25:10,320
Speaker 1: two of the ballgames for Lallana six seven, two hundred

518
00:25:10,320 --> 00:25:13,000
Speaker 1: eleven pounds. Fastball sits at ninety five miles an hour,

519
00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:15,720
Speaker 1: and he's got one of the most disgusting changeups I've

520
00:25:15,760 --> 00:25:21,720
Speaker 1: ever seen. He has a Johan Santana change up. It's disgusting.

521
00:25:21,720 --> 00:25:25,119
Speaker 1: He's got a body frame like Chris Sayle. If I

522
00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:27,000
Speaker 1: were the Yankees, I would drop him down, have him

523
00:25:27,040 --> 00:25:29,720
Speaker 1: thir three quarters or sidearm, just make him even nastier.

524
00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:32,520
Speaker 1: Three point eight six ERA and one hundred and twenty

525
00:25:32,520 --> 00:25:35,720
Speaker 1: three MLB or sorry m ilb innings Minor league innings,

526
00:25:35,840 --> 00:25:38,800
Speaker 1: one hundred and thirty eight strikeouts, fifty two walks, and

527
00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:42,280
Speaker 1: one point twenty five whip Yankees number eleven overall prospect,

528
00:25:42,440 --> 00:25:45,400
Speaker 1: just twenty years old. Signed out of the Dominican Republican

529
00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:48,560
Speaker 1: twenty twenty one for three hundred and fifty thousand dollars.

530
00:25:49,280 --> 00:25:53,080
Speaker 1: I am a big believer in Henry Lalane.

531
00:25:54,400 --> 00:25:54,560
Speaker 4: Well.

532
00:25:54,640 --> 00:26:00,520
Speaker 3: I thought his name was Elaine until literally tonight, So yeah, tonight.

533
00:26:00,640 --> 00:26:03,560
Speaker 3: I mean the guy. The guy's got nasty stuff. Even

534
00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:06,840
Speaker 3: that little highlight video that change was absolutely gross. Six

535
00:26:07,040 --> 00:26:11,200
Speaker 3: seven to eleven, so six seven. Taller pitchers, especially lefties,

536
00:26:11,320 --> 00:26:13,720
Speaker 3: even just hitting that is hard, just because the angle,

537
00:26:13,800 --> 00:26:16,320
Speaker 3: the way the ball comes in. I guess you would

538
00:26:16,320 --> 00:26:18,320
Speaker 3: mitigate a little bit of that if he dropped him down.

539
00:26:18,320 --> 00:26:20,760
Speaker 3: But then it's like then it's like he's like throwing

540
00:26:20,800 --> 00:26:22,960
Speaker 3: like six feet out outside of the box and you

541
00:26:23,040 --> 00:26:25,160
Speaker 3: don't even know what you're doing with yourself at that point.

542
00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:28,440
Speaker 3: But born in the Bronx too, so it's clearly destiny.

543
00:26:29,200 --> 00:26:31,800
Speaker 3: But I really like his stuff. I would hold on

544
00:26:31,840 --> 00:26:36,000
Speaker 3: to him pretty tightly. I would not give him up easily.

545
00:26:37,160 --> 00:26:39,520
Speaker 3: And this is a guy, like you said, Johann Santana

546
00:26:39,560 --> 00:26:42,560
Speaker 3: stuff usually fastball change up guys. I kind of like

547
00:26:42,560 --> 00:26:45,520
Speaker 3: to see them as starters more. But he's still really young.

548
00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:48,399
Speaker 3: He's only two eleven, which is for his frame not

549
00:26:48,520 --> 00:26:50,520
Speaker 3: that heavy, and I think they could pack on a

550
00:26:50,600 --> 00:26:52,800
Speaker 3: couple more pounds on there and maybe make him throw

551
00:26:52,840 --> 00:26:56,280
Speaker 3: even harder. But yeah, this is definitely a guy who

552
00:26:56,320 --> 00:26:58,520
Speaker 3: I think could could be a really good player for us.

553
00:26:58,760 --> 00:27:02,119
Speaker 1: Well, listen, mister Hollywood actor. Most people gain weight in

554
00:27:02,119 --> 00:27:05,719
Speaker 1: their early twenties, unlike you, but most people put on

555
00:27:05,720 --> 00:27:09,000
Speaker 1: that freshman fifteen in college or whatever. Yeah, I think

556
00:27:09,040 --> 00:27:12,080
Speaker 1: people will. I think he'll pack on some especially when

557
00:27:12,080 --> 00:27:14,439
Speaker 1: you're when you're that tall and you grow that fast,

558
00:27:14,560 --> 00:27:16,840
Speaker 1: like it's tough to fill out, right, So you know,

559
00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:18,720
Speaker 1: over the next few years, I'm sure he'll he'll gain

560
00:27:18,800 --> 00:27:21,200
Speaker 1: some muscle, gain some weight. All right, let's talk about

561
00:27:21,680 --> 00:27:30,280
Speaker 1: Everson Pereira, a boot forever. Perreira twenty seven games played

562
00:27:30,320 --> 00:27:34,200
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty three didn't really impress. One fifty one average,

563
00:27:34,320 --> 00:27:36,560
Speaker 1: no home runs, ten rby eyes. I was disappointed he

564
00:27:36,600 --> 00:27:39,240
Speaker 1: didn't hit a home run. You know, played a whole month.

565
00:27:39,240 --> 00:27:40,880
Speaker 1: I was hoping he would get that first major league

566
00:27:40,920 --> 00:27:43,440
Speaker 1: dinger out of the way. Had elbow surgery last year,

567
00:27:43,520 --> 00:27:47,360
Speaker 1: came back, played okay to sixty five average, ten home runs,

568
00:27:47,400 --> 00:27:50,600
Speaker 1: eight fifty eight ops in twenty twenty four, forty eight

569
00:27:50,680 --> 00:27:54,359
Speaker 1: games in Triple A. He's the Yankees number ten overall prospects.

570
00:27:54,359 --> 00:27:57,560
Speaker 1: Signed out of Venezuela back in twenty eighteen. We've been

571
00:27:57,600 --> 00:28:00,720
Speaker 1: talking about him since this channel began four years old

572
00:28:00,720 --> 00:28:03,919
Speaker 1: this year. Still has light tower power. But when he

573
00:28:03,960 --> 00:28:06,760
Speaker 1: came up, it was clear that he was overmatched because

574
00:28:07,040 --> 00:28:09,520
Speaker 1: he wasn't ready to hit the big league slider. I mean,

575
00:28:09,560 --> 00:28:12,159
Speaker 1: that's just, you know, this is just what it is.

576
00:28:12,200 --> 00:28:15,240
Speaker 1: He just couldn't hit a big league slider. And until

577
00:28:15,280 --> 00:28:17,520
Speaker 1: he fixes that. To me, he's one of those guys

578
00:28:17,520 --> 00:28:20,040
Speaker 1: that you got to consider as like a potential, you know,

579
00:28:20,160 --> 00:28:22,120
Speaker 1: he's blocked maybe using as trade bait.

580
00:28:23,200 --> 00:28:24,800
Speaker 3: I definitely think trade this guy. I think they should

581
00:28:24,800 --> 00:28:27,159
Speaker 3: have traded him last deadline, but he was hurt, so

582
00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:29,960
Speaker 3: that kind of got in the way there. I think

583
00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:33,000
Speaker 3: the outfield will be it's just it's all right. So

584
00:28:33,040 --> 00:28:36,080
Speaker 3: there's Cody Bellinger, there's Aaron Judge, and there's the Martian

585
00:28:36,800 --> 00:28:38,760
Speaker 3: and they got some other players that could play out

586
00:28:38,760 --> 00:28:42,040
Speaker 3: there as well. Shout out to you, Terrence Pece spelt

587
00:28:42,040 --> 00:28:43,680
Speaker 3: the same way as me. Shout out to a fellow

588
00:28:43,760 --> 00:28:45,800
Speaker 3: Terrence out there. Luis Medina, I remember that was the

589
00:28:45,880 --> 00:28:48,240
Speaker 3: name I was high on. Didn't do anything, but ever

590
00:28:48,320 --> 00:28:51,200
Speaker 3: Sin Pereira, Yeah, I definitely trade him. I would try

591
00:28:51,200 --> 00:28:53,080
Speaker 3: to trade him. I don't really think there's a place

592
00:28:53,120 --> 00:28:55,440
Speaker 3: for him. And also, Kyle Tucker will be a free

593
00:28:55,440 --> 00:28:59,120
Speaker 3: agent next year. I will be really upset if they're

594
00:28:59,160 --> 00:29:00,239
Speaker 3: not all over that.

595
00:29:00,480 --> 00:29:03,080
Speaker 1: All in all, in the I would.

596
00:29:02,960 --> 00:29:06,680
Speaker 3: Give him four hundred five hundred million. I don't think

597
00:29:06,720 --> 00:29:10,600
Speaker 3: he will sign an extension now. I think he looks

598
00:29:10,640 --> 00:29:12,320
Speaker 3: at huants out and what he got. I would be

599
00:29:12,480 --> 00:29:15,920
Speaker 3: stupid to not go to free agency. I'd be all

600
00:29:15,960 --> 00:29:17,520
Speaker 3: over that. So I just don't think that there's going

601
00:29:17,560 --> 00:29:20,680
Speaker 3: to be a place for Everson Pereira in the Yankees

602
00:29:20,720 --> 00:29:23,959
Speaker 3: outfield in the future. Even if Aaron Judge ends up

603
00:29:23,960 --> 00:29:27,160
Speaker 3: being a DH first baseman sort of guy in later

604
00:29:27,200 --> 00:29:29,880
Speaker 3: on in his contract, Kyle Tucker will slide into right anyway.

605
00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:31,080
Speaker 3: So I don't really see it.

606
00:29:31,360 --> 00:29:33,280
Speaker 1: The one thing that worries me about Steve Cohen is

607
00:29:33,320 --> 00:29:35,520
Speaker 1: that he's like Psycho with his money and he wants

608
00:29:35,560 --> 00:29:37,400
Speaker 1: to get everybody. It worries me that he's going to

609
00:29:37,440 --> 00:29:40,560
Speaker 1: get the two big guys next year, Kyle Tucker and

610
00:29:40,640 --> 00:29:44,080
Speaker 1: Vlatty Guerrera. Now, if the Mets don't sign Vladdy or

611
00:29:44,120 --> 00:29:47,160
Speaker 1: don't sign Pete Alonzo, that opens up first base, and

612
00:29:47,200 --> 00:29:49,160
Speaker 1: I think Vlatty Guerrero is a FATA compley to go

613
00:29:49,160 --> 00:29:51,320
Speaker 1: to the Mets, and that might allow the Yankees to

614
00:29:51,360 --> 00:29:54,200
Speaker 1: sneak in and sign Tucker while the Mets are focusing

615
00:29:54,240 --> 00:29:58,200
Speaker 1: on Vladdie. That's that's my hope of what will happen.

616
00:29:58,760 --> 00:30:01,720
Speaker 3: I actually don't see the Mets being so high on Tucker,

617
00:30:01,760 --> 00:30:04,120
Speaker 3: to be honest with you, just because they have Soto already.

618
00:30:04,360 --> 00:30:07,640
Speaker 3: I feel like Tucker Tucker doesn't He's a great player,

619
00:30:07,720 --> 00:30:10,680
Speaker 3: a stud like comparable to Sodo numbers a little maybe

620
00:30:10,680 --> 00:30:12,440
Speaker 3: a tick below, but he doesn't have like the star

621
00:30:12,600 --> 00:30:15,440
Speaker 3: power that Juan Soda has just the name alone.

622
00:30:15,480 --> 00:30:18,800
Speaker 1: But he's a he's a winning player man. And Stephen

623
00:30:18,880 --> 00:30:22,080
Speaker 1: wants to win like so anyway, and Coen wants to

624
00:30:22,080 --> 00:30:24,320
Speaker 1: He's he's playing MLB the show while everybody else is

625
00:30:24,320 --> 00:30:27,200
Speaker 1: playing with real money, like he's got monopoly money. All right,

00:30:55,240 --> 00:30:56,880
Speaker 1: really do any labor. He just shows up. But it's

637
00:30:56,880 --> 00:30:59,120
Speaker 1: all good. All right. Let's talk a little bit. Let's

638
00:30:59,120 --> 00:31:04,040
Speaker 1: talk a little bit about Bryce Conningham Yankee second round

639
00:31:04,080 --> 00:31:07,920
Speaker 1: pick last year. I'd tell you what I love this

640
00:31:07,960 --> 00:31:10,840
Speaker 1: guy from what I've seen. Six five two thirty ninety

641
00:31:10,880 --> 00:31:13,520
Speaker 1: seven mile an hour fastball, power change up. We know

642
00:31:13,600 --> 00:31:17,760
Speaker 1: what Matt Blake does with change ups. Vanderbilt guy, So

643
00:31:17,840 --> 00:31:23,360
Speaker 1: he is a guy who has just a bright head

644
00:31:23,400 --> 00:31:26,600
Speaker 1: on his shoulders. Has not made his pro debut. Number

645
00:31:26,680 --> 00:31:30,800
Speaker 1: nine overall prospect, fifty third overall pick. From what I hear,

646
00:31:30,880 --> 00:31:33,400
Speaker 1: he's very polished, and I think he's gonna be another

647
00:31:33,440 --> 00:31:36,240
Speaker 1: one of these guys that can help replenish the farm.

648
00:31:36,720 --> 00:31:38,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, that doesn't surprise me at all. He comes out

649
00:31:38,640 --> 00:31:42,040
Speaker 3: of Vanderbilt. That's like a factory that program over there

650
00:31:43,080 --> 00:31:47,280
Speaker 3: there where he's signed, right, So I'm pretty high on

651
00:31:47,360 --> 00:31:52,640
Speaker 3: him as well. Big, big dude six yes, So usually

652
00:31:52,720 --> 00:31:56,560
Speaker 3: with pitchers it's it's weird, right, size is usually good

653
00:31:56,840 --> 00:32:01,520
Speaker 3: with with pitching. It's kind of like basketball. It's kind

654
00:32:01,520 --> 00:32:04,680
Speaker 3: of like basketball. He can't be six seven and you

655
00:32:04,720 --> 00:32:07,520
Speaker 3: can't be like six two and play power forward. You

656
00:32:07,600 --> 00:32:12,120
Speaker 3: just can't, so Charles Barkley. But yeah, Bryce Cunningham six'

657
00:32:12,240 --> 00:32:14,880
Speaker 3: five two thirty power. FASTBALL i like it a. Lot

658
00:32:14,960 --> 00:32:17,440
Speaker 3: and coming out Of, Vandy, Yeah i'm pretty confident in

659
00:32:17,480 --> 00:32:19,600
Speaker 3: that that's just a, factory all.

660
00:32:19,680 --> 00:32:22,320
Speaker 1: Right so let's move on to another college. Pick this

Speaker 3: at you.

690
00:33:49,920 --> 00:33:52,120
Speaker 1: Know, yeah, yeah we gotta figure out what was up

691
00:33:52,120 --> 00:33:53,480
Speaker 1: with that. STATS i think we had a copy and

692
00:33:53,560 --> 00:33:56,120
Speaker 1: paste error right right. Quick but let's talk a little

693
00:33:56,120 --> 00:33:58,240
Speaker 1: bit About Brock. Salvage this is the guy we saw

694
00:33:58,280 --> 00:34:02,800
Speaker 1: in spring, training left handed, pitcher who's there really a

695
00:34:02,840 --> 00:34:06,360
Speaker 1: slider cut your cutter guy ninety two to ninety five with.

696
00:34:06,400 --> 00:34:08,799
Speaker 1: LIFE i guess he was the seven and six, guy

697
00:34:08,880 --> 00:34:10,239
Speaker 1: so it was just copy and. Paste so the Number

698
00:34:10,280 --> 00:34:14,759
Speaker 1: yankee's number seven, Prospect Florida State League All star in

699
00:34:14,880 --> 00:34:18,680
Speaker 1: twenty twenty, three twenty three years, old third round draft,

700
00:34:18,680 --> 00:34:21,680
Speaker 1: pick makes funny faces when he's. PITCHING i like his,

701
00:34:21,760 --> 00:34:25,080
Speaker 1: mechanics LIKE i JUST i like those guys who who

702
00:34:25,160 --> 00:34:27,359
Speaker 1: kind of hide the ball when They're see how he's

703
00:34:27,440 --> 00:34:31,200
Speaker 1: kind of hide it behind his back shoulder. THERE i

704
00:34:31,880 --> 00:34:34,239
Speaker 1: CAN'T i think A Billy, wagner you, know guys like.

705
00:34:34,280 --> 00:34:37,400
Speaker 1: THAT i don't want to compare him To Billy, wagoner

706
00:34:37,400 --> 00:34:41,200
Speaker 1: obviously different type of, pitcher but a, deceptive deceptive. Release,

707
00:34:42,120 --> 00:34:42,440
Speaker 1: YEAH i.

708
00:34:42,480 --> 00:34:46,120
Speaker 3: Think that that definitely, plays especially when you're getting to

709
00:34:46,160 --> 00:34:48,120
Speaker 3: this level you kind of trying to get every sort

710
00:34:48,120 --> 00:34:51,200
Speaker 3: of edge and then a funky kind of release is

711
00:34:51,200 --> 00:34:53,080
Speaker 3: always going to be tougher to pick up. On Sow

712
00:34:53,160 --> 00:34:56,239
Speaker 3: nester made a, living, Right, YEAH i THINK i think

713
00:34:56,320 --> 00:34:59,160
Speaker 3: that the mechanics are, interesting and the way that he

714
00:34:59,200 --> 00:35:00,960
Speaker 3: hides the ball is go to be. Effective he's got

715
00:35:01,000 --> 00:35:04,840
Speaker 3: pretty good, Stuff, lefty you always like, that but again

716
00:35:04,960 --> 00:35:07,520
Speaker 3: for him kind of depth for, me, like that's kind

717
00:35:07,520 --> 00:35:08,480
Speaker 3: of HOW i profile.

718
00:35:08,560 --> 00:35:11,360
Speaker 1: It, YEAH i mean he's one of those, guys you,

719
00:35:11,400 --> 00:35:17,879
Speaker 1: know first round draft pick THAT i, mean you could

720
00:35:17,920 --> 00:35:20,359
Speaker 1: see them trading him and selling it as a we're

721
00:35:20,360 --> 00:35:23,640
Speaker 1: giving you our first round draft, pick, right or you

722
00:35:23,680 --> 00:35:26,480
Speaker 1: could see him advancing. Quickly. Right you could see him

723
00:35:26,640 --> 00:35:28,239
Speaker 1: being a guy who moves up the, ladder kind of

724
00:35:28,239 --> 00:35:31,840
Speaker 1: Like Jaba chamberlain Or Ian, kennedy you, know a polished

725
00:35:31,920 --> 00:35:34,000
Speaker 1: kind of. Guy so it'd be interesting to see how

726
00:35:34,000 --> 00:35:36,319
Speaker 1: that shakes. Out all, right let's talk a little bit

727

00:36:04,920 --> 00:36:08,319
Speaker 1: drafted in the sixth round in twenty twenty. Two looks

738
00:36:08,320 --> 00:36:12,400
Speaker 1: to me like he's got pretty good curveball. Too we

739
00:36:12,440 --> 00:36:15,120
Speaker 1: haven't seen him very. Much there's the breaking ball that

740
00:36:15,160 --> 00:36:18,600
Speaker 1: he dropped. IN i feel like he's one of these

741
00:36:18,640 --> 00:36:21,440
Speaker 1: guys who, could you, know be a contender if The

742
00:36:21,520 --> 00:36:24,279
Speaker 1: yankees have an injury to step, in you, know and

743
00:36:24,360 --> 00:36:26,960

744
00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:28,480
Speaker 1: him for the last few. Years that means he's one

745
00:36:28,520 --> 00:36:30,480
Speaker 1: of these polished type of. Pitchers The yankees believe in,

746
00:36:30,560 --> 00:36:32,280
Speaker 1: him so he would be like high on my. List

747
00:36:32,800 --> 00:36:35,160
Speaker 1: i'd rather see him Than Will warren, obviously who's, Next

748
00:36:35,200 --> 00:36:35,799
Speaker 1: but we'll talk about.

749
00:36:35,880 --> 00:36:40,239
Speaker 3: Him, Yeah, YEAH i don't. Know there's, like not really

750
00:36:40,280 --> 00:36:44,120
Speaker 3: a ton of to. Say that mustache is absolutely. Horrific

751
00:36:44,160 --> 00:36:47,600
Speaker 3: i'm looking at His Baseball reference profile picture right now

752
00:36:47,680 --> 00:36:50,640
Speaker 3: and it just looks there's there's like a full inch

753
00:36:50,680 --> 00:36:54,839
Speaker 3: of space between the two hair parts here on his

754
00:36:54,920 --> 00:36:58,080
Speaker 3: on his. Lip it looks pretty. Rough, yeah he should

755
00:36:58,120 --> 00:37:02,000
Speaker 3: get rid of. That, yeah not really a whole lot

756
00:37:02,040 --> 00:37:04,239
Speaker 3: to go off of for. Him two seasons in the

757
00:37:04,280 --> 00:37:07,560
Speaker 3: minors with a, one, one one three Whip, okay so that's,

758
00:37:07,680 --> 00:37:10,840
Speaker 3: okay a little bit more than one base runner for

759
00:37:10,960 --> 00:37:14,040
Speaker 3: ending a three four five r, again that's, yeah it's it's.

760
00:37:14,080 --> 00:37:17,040
Speaker 3: FINE i like. HIM i like, HIM i don't Really

761
00:37:17,120 --> 00:37:19,440
Speaker 3: i'm not super high on, him to be. HONEST i

762
00:37:19,480 --> 00:37:22,200
Speaker 3: know a lot of people. Are, uh BUT i would

763
00:37:22,200 --> 00:37:25,359
Speaker 3: be more open in trading, him to be, honest BECAUSE

764
00:37:25,360 --> 00:37:27,200
Speaker 3: i think some of these guys that are lower on

765
00:37:27,239 --> 00:37:29,160
Speaker 3: the list pitchers are going to move up pretty, quickly

766
00:37:29,560 --> 00:37:30,360
Speaker 3: especially the younger.

767
00:37:30,360 --> 00:37:33,879
Speaker 1: Guys speaking of moving, QUICKLY i Think Will warren moved

770
00:37:40,480 --> 00:37:42,319
Speaker 1: one of these guys who's been a top prospect for.

Speaker 1: Years twenty nine strikeouts in twenty two and two thirds,

772
00:37:46,120 --> 00:37:47,919

783
00:38:14,040 --> 00:38:17,359
Speaker 3: a prospect. Forever he got lit up when he got

784

Speaker 3: to the major. Leagues he's he's Just he's six two

Speaker 3: a mid fast. Ball it's not really like anything that.

787
00:38:26,680 --> 00:38:31,239
Speaker 3: Impressive his numbers and the miners are like. Fine and

788
00:38:31,280 --> 00:38:33,800
Speaker 3: if he's ranked as the fifth best, PROSPECT i would definitely,

789
00:38:33,840 --> 00:38:36,160
Speaker 3: Try like, Honestly Will warn And Chase Hampton, like to,

790
00:38:36,239 --> 00:38:38,480
Speaker 3: me those are both expendable arms THAT i would.

791
00:38:38,560 --> 00:38:41,640
Speaker 1: Dream, yeah it sounds like you would be wheeling and

792
00:38:41,680 --> 00:38:43,880
Speaker 1: dealing a lot from the system THERE tk if you were,

793
00:38:43,920 --> 00:38:49,719
Speaker 1: running let's go To let's go to number. Four this

794
00:38:49,800 --> 00:38:51,600
Speaker 1: Is Roderick, arias a guy who's been on the radar

795
00:38:51,640 --> 00:38:53,320
Speaker 1: for the last couple of. Years in the first pitch

796
00:38:53,360 --> 00:38:59,400
Speaker 1: and down the right field. Line another top international, signee elite.

797
00:38:59,480 --> 00:39:03,400
Speaker 1: Defender he's got another one of these big light, kicks power,

798
00:39:03,440 --> 00:39:07,080
Speaker 1: Approach he's got good bat, speed switch, hitter above average,

799
00:39:07,120 --> 00:39:09,759
Speaker 1: patience one hundred and eighty three career games in the minor,

800
00:39:09,840 --> 00:39:12,160
Speaker 1: leagues two thirty two, average thirteen home run seven to

801
00:39:12,200 --> 00:39:17,000
Speaker 1: sixty three. Ops signed for four point four million, internationally

802
00:39:17,160 --> 00:39:20,759
Speaker 1: was a top international. Prospect he's another one of these

803
00:39:20,800 --> 00:39:25,360
Speaker 1: guys that is. Toolsy but it hasn't translated in the numbers,

804
00:39:25,400 --> 00:39:28,360
Speaker 1: yet but one day it, might it might, break you,

805
00:39:28,400 --> 00:39:31,680
Speaker 1: know break. Through any thoughts On Roderick, Arius.

806
00:39:32,480 --> 00:39:36,399
Speaker 3: Roderick, well switch, hitter, young but AND i really love

807
00:39:36,560 --> 00:39:41,000
Speaker 3: his defense is. Spectacular but tell me, This. Derek, so

808
00:39:41,080 --> 00:39:43,520
Speaker 3: there's obviously Roder, garius and then we'll get to him

809
00:39:43,520 --> 00:39:46,120
Speaker 3: in a. Second But George Lombard. Jr is right above

810
00:39:46,160 --> 00:39:49,040
Speaker 3: him there and they. Play both are, shortstops both are

811
00:39:49,080 --> 00:39:52,319
Speaker 3: the same. Age And i'm afraid to say THAT i

812
00:39:52,400 --> 00:39:56,520
Speaker 3: almost see like A Peraza vulty situation sort of developing

813
00:39:56,560 --> 00:39:59,640
Speaker 3: where one guy gets to the to the big leagues

814
00:39:59,640 --> 00:40:01,759
Speaker 3: and he's kind of blocking the other, guy and then

815
00:40:01,760 --> 00:40:03,560
Speaker 3: they kind of let the other guy rot a little

816
00:40:03,560 --> 00:40:06,080
Speaker 3: bit and they don't do anything with. Him so for,

817
00:40:06,120 --> 00:40:10,320
Speaker 3: me especially Since volpi's already a shortstop and it looks

818
00:40:10,360 --> 00:40:12,839
Speaker 3: LIKE i don't, look maybe he kind of fizzles out

819
00:40:12,840 --> 00:40:14,279
Speaker 3: and they ended up moving. ON i don't, know but

820
00:40:14,320 --> 00:40:15,640
Speaker 3: the hope is that he's going to be the short

821
00:40:15,640 --> 00:40:17,440
Speaker 3: stop for a, while, right and then one of these

822
00:40:17,480 --> 00:40:19,719
Speaker 3: guys either moves to like third or second or maybe

823
00:40:19,760 --> 00:40:22,680
Speaker 3: even the outfield and they transition. There BUT i just

824
00:40:22,719 --> 00:40:25,000
Speaker 3: feel like finding a place for both of these guys

825
00:40:25,000 --> 00:40:28,480
Speaker 3: on the roster for starting time will be, difficult and

826
00:40:28,520 --> 00:40:30,759
Speaker 3: it are probably best in trading one of.

827
00:40:30,800 --> 00:40:33,000
Speaker 1: Them so here's what The yankees like to. Do they

828
00:40:33,080 --> 00:40:35,239
Speaker 1: like to keep these guys at shortstop like they Did Tray,

829
00:40:35,280 --> 00:40:39,319
Speaker 1: sweeney because it maximizes their trade, value especially if they're good.

830
00:40:39,360 --> 00:40:43,080
Speaker 1: Defensively but the problem is they also hug their prospects

831
00:40:43,160 --> 00:40:45,839
Speaker 1: most of the time they don't trade, them you, know

832
00:40:45,920 --> 00:40:49,160
Speaker 1: and so they get blocked like you, know Like peraza.

833
00:40:49,239 --> 00:40:53,400
Speaker 1: DID i think that if you're planning For volpi to

834
00:40:53,400 --> 00:40:56,560
Speaker 1: be your long term, shortstop you got to get these

835
00:40:56,600 --> 00:40:59,239
Speaker 1: guys off a, shortstop get one at, second get one at,

836
00:40:59,280 --> 00:41:02,040
Speaker 1: third and just let them develop into that next you, Know.

837
00:41:02,200 --> 00:41:07,319
Speaker 1: Core BUT i you know, Again, ARIUS i don't know

838
00:41:07,800 --> 00:41:10,799
Speaker 1: how he's gonna. Develop I'm i'm suspect of those guys

839
00:41:10,800 --> 00:41:13,239
Speaker 1: with the huge leg, kicks LIKE i, said so you,

840
00:41:13,239 --> 00:41:15,400
Speaker 1: know we'll. See here's somebody we got to talk, about

841
00:41:15,560 --> 00:41:23,200
Speaker 1: Mister George lombard Junior summer Of, jorge three, eleven in

842
00:41:23,239 --> 00:41:26,759
Speaker 1: his pro debut a couple years, Ago elite BASEBALL iq and.

843
00:41:26,920 --> 00:41:29,040
Speaker 1: INSTINCTS i don't know if there's ever been a prospect

844
00:41:29,080 --> 00:41:30,680
Speaker 1: who looks more like A, yankee kind of looks Like

845
00:41:30,719 --> 00:41:32,760
Speaker 1: Carlos korea a little. BIT i don't know if anybody

846
00:41:32,760 --> 00:41:35,799
Speaker 1: else sees. That but two thirty one, average five home,

847
00:41:35,880 --> 00:41:39,279
Speaker 1: runs eight twenty two ops last. Year versatile, infielder he

848
00:41:39,320 --> 00:41:41,480
Speaker 1: Can he projects as a long term, shortstop but he

849
00:41:41,480 --> 00:41:44,720
Speaker 1: can play both second and. Third number three overall, prospect

850
00:41:44,840 --> 00:41:47,400
Speaker 1: just twenty years, old drafted in the first round with

851
00:41:47,480 --> 00:41:51,040
Speaker 1: the twenty sixth overall pick in the twenty twenty three draft.

852
00:41:51,040 --> 00:41:53,640
Speaker 1: Pick he looks. Athletic we got to see him in

853
00:41:53,680 --> 00:41:58,640

854
00:41:58,680 --> 00:42:02,160
Speaker 1: hit a couple of home, runs big, time big time.

855
00:42:02,239 --> 00:42:05,880
Speaker 1: Prospect in my, opinion this is a guy that The

856
00:42:06,000 --> 00:42:09,279
Speaker 1: yankees are very very high, on AND i would definitely

857
00:42:09,360 --> 00:42:12,439
Speaker 1: consider putting him on my untouchable list that we're about

858
00:42:12,480 --> 00:42:15,160
Speaker 1: to go through in just a. Minute thoughts On Lombard.

859
00:42:15,320 --> 00:42:19,440
Speaker 3: JUNIOR i Love George Lombard. Junior and WHAT i was

860
00:42:19,480 --> 00:42:22,040
Speaker 3: alluding to before trade one of them rod Re Ca

861
00:42:22,040 --> 00:42:26,239
Speaker 3: carerius Or George Lombard. Jr i'd be Trading Rodrick careris

862
00:42:26,280 --> 00:42:28,680
Speaker 3: out of the two of. Them George Lombard junior is

863
00:42:28,719 --> 00:42:31,440
Speaker 3: a guy THAT i think very highly. Of he's a

864
00:42:31,440 --> 00:42:33,960
Speaker 3: guy who comes from like a baseball. Family his dad

865
00:42:34,000 --> 00:42:35,560
Speaker 3: played in the. League he's the bench coach for The.

866
00:42:35,600 --> 00:42:38,600
Speaker 3: Tigers there's a cool picture there With Aaron. Judge this

867
00:42:38,680 --> 00:42:42,160
Speaker 3: is a clip from The Youth prospects video about his brother,

868
00:42:42,239 --> 00:42:43,719
Speaker 3: actually and it's kind of like a day in their

869
00:42:43,760 --> 00:42:46,680
Speaker 3: lives and they got a bunch of like cool baseball

870
00:42:46,760 --> 00:42:48,960
Speaker 3: memorability around the house like, that including that. One SO

871
00:42:49,000 --> 00:42:51,280
Speaker 3: i thought that was kind of. Cool the full circle moment.

872
00:42:51,320 --> 00:42:54,680
Speaker 3: There but this is a guy That i'm really high.

873
00:42:54,760 --> 00:42:56,640
Speaker 3: On he kind of does remind me a lot Of Carlos.

874
00:42:56,719 --> 00:42:59,760
Speaker 3: Korea they look similar and also the swing as. WELL

875
00:43:00,280 --> 00:43:02,840
Speaker 3: i feel like they should move him a third and

876
00:43:02,880 --> 00:43:05,359
Speaker 3: let him develop. There he kind of profiles that way

877
00:43:05,400 --> 00:43:07,560
Speaker 3: physically as, WELL i. Think but this is a. Guy

878
00:43:07,719 --> 00:43:11,000
Speaker 3: if you watch that, video there's one thing that stands

879
00:43:11,000 --> 00:43:14,400
Speaker 3: out to me very. Clearly this guy is a. Professional

880
00:43:14,640 --> 00:43:17,040
Speaker 3: this guy's been living his life like a professional since

881
00:43:17,040 --> 00:43:18,080
Speaker 3: he was like thirteen years.

882
00:43:18,080 --> 00:43:20,640
Speaker 1: Old let's take a look at his swing, again BECAUSE

883
00:43:20,680 --> 00:43:22,960
Speaker 1: i want to bring up the point THAT i was

884
00:43:23,000 --> 00:43:25,160
Speaker 1: talking To terrence about, this and we're gonna show this.

885
00:43:25,640 --> 00:43:28,480
Speaker 1: Again his swing reminds me Of Mike. Trout how he

886
00:43:28,560 --> 00:43:33,279
Speaker 1: kind of hits against a closed front, Side AND i,

887
00:43:33,280 --> 00:43:36,520
Speaker 1: mean this is. Uncanny if you Watch Mike trout, highlights

888
00:43:36,719 --> 00:43:38,480
Speaker 1: And i'm not comparing him To, Trout trout's a once

889
00:43:38,520 --> 00:43:41,520
Speaker 1: in a, generation but similar type of swing where he

890
00:43:41,560 --> 00:43:45,640
Speaker 1: gets inside of the, baseball hits against that closed front.

891
00:43:45,680 --> 00:43:48,919
Speaker 1: SIDE i, mean it's hard not to be ecstatic about

892
00:43:48,920 --> 00:43:51,120
Speaker 1: a guy who's had the success he's had his age

893
00:43:51,160 --> 00:43:51,960
Speaker 1: and has a swing like.

894
00:43:52,040 --> 00:43:54,880
Speaker 3: That, yeah and it's really just about the way that

895
00:43:54,920 --> 00:43:57,440
Speaker 3: he lives his life every, Day Like i'm, serious watch the.

896
00:43:57,520 --> 00:44:00,640
Speaker 3: Video He i've never seen at the, TIME i think

897
00:44:00,640 --> 00:44:02,760
Speaker 3: he was, nineteen But i've never seen somebody that young

898
00:44:02,880 --> 00:44:05,560
Speaker 3: sort of live like a thirty year old vet who

899
00:44:05,640 --> 00:44:07,920
Speaker 3: takes care of his body and like eats freaking like

900
00:44:07,960 --> 00:44:10,799
Speaker 3: avocado ice cream Like Tom brady. Does and LIKE i,

901
00:44:10,800 --> 00:44:12,520
Speaker 3: said his dad was in the. Game he's a bench,

902
00:44:12,560 --> 00:44:15,320
Speaker 3: coach so he's been like training like a major leaguer

903
00:44:15,360 --> 00:44:17,520
Speaker 3: for a long. Time so the way that he lives

904
00:44:17,520 --> 00:44:19,680
Speaker 3: his life shows a lot about him and the way

905
00:44:19,719 --> 00:44:20,759
Speaker 3: that he, prepares AND i think he'll be.

906
00:44:20,760 --> 00:44:25,920

911
00:44:39,400 --> 00:44:43,000

00:45:16,400 --> 00:45:19,879
Speaker 1: Left handed been compared to know a Left Handed. Aaron

922
00:45:19,960 --> 00:45:22,640
Speaker 1: judge extremely athletic in the same Way that judge, is

923
00:45:22,719 --> 00:45:26,160
Speaker 1: athletic but much higher strikeout rate in the minor Leagues

924
00:45:26,239 --> 00:45:29,439
Speaker 1: than judge. Ever Had and i'm just not as High

925
00:45:29,440 --> 00:45:32,920
Speaker 1: On spencer JONES as i know. You are so go

926
00:45:32,920 --> 00:45:35,000
Speaker 1: ahead and make, the case and then later we'll debate

927
00:45:35,440 --> 00:45:37,480
Speaker 1: on whether or not We're keeping jones or whether or

928
00:45:37,480 --> 00:45:37,919
Speaker 1: not we're gonna.

929
00:45:37,920 --> 00:45:42,440
Speaker 3: Move, him listen this Is what. I'LL say i haven't

930
00:45:42,480 --> 00:45:45,400
Speaker 3: really Talked About spencer jones in detail since last, spring

931
00:45:45,480 --> 00:45:47,759
Speaker 3: Training and i'm gonna admit the two hundred strikeouts is.

932
00:45:47,800 --> 00:45:51,560
Speaker 3: Definitely concerning it's. Definitely concerning it's definitely a, red flag

933
00:45:51,600 --> 00:45:56,520
Speaker 3: and it's definitely kind of. Made me i'm not cooling off.

934
00:45:56,520 --> 00:45:59,080
Speaker 3: Of Him but I've definitely i'm less hot. About it

935
00:45:59,120 --> 00:46:02,399
Speaker 3: i'm more okay with him being moved for the right

936
00:46:02,480 --> 00:46:05,680
Speaker 3: deal rather than him being. COMPLETELY untouchable i will, admit

937
00:46:05,760 --> 00:46:09,400
Speaker 3: THAT but i will say he did make some, mechanical

938
00:46:09,440 --> 00:46:11,799
Speaker 3: Adjustments and i'm not gonna like buying it like a

939
00:46:11,840 --> 00:46:13,719
Speaker 3: GUY taking vp and all of a sudden you get

940
00:46:13,760 --> 00:46:15,719
Speaker 3: super excited, about, Him right but he did make some.

941
00:46:15,760 --> 00:46:19,319
Speaker 3: Mechanical adjustments he's kind of got a similar leg Kick

942
00:46:19,400 --> 00:46:21,400
Speaker 3: to judge now where it's like this very kind of

943
00:46:21,440 --> 00:46:24,160
Speaker 3: like slow kind of rise and then it kind of

944
00:46:24,520 --> 00:46:27,279
Speaker 3: goes through the zone. That way so this is gonna

945
00:46:27,280 --> 00:46:29,040
Speaker 3: be a big year. For him this is kind of

946
00:46:29,080 --> 00:46:32,000
Speaker 3: the Year, of okay are you gonna are you for real?

947
00:46:32,560 --> 00:46:34,640
Speaker 3: Or not let's let's see. It here so he'll probably

948
00:46:34,680 --> 00:46:37,120
Speaker 3: start the season IN. Double a but if this guy,

949
00:46:37,200 --> 00:46:40,759
Speaker 3: hits man he could he has like superstar potential if

950
00:46:40,880 --> 00:46:42,440
Speaker 3: if he turns out, that way or it could be

951
00:46:42,480 --> 00:46:45,520
Speaker 3: a total bus like all. Prospects are but this is

952
00:46:45,520 --> 00:46:48,040
Speaker 3: a GUY who i think would be an elite defender,

953
00:46:48,040 --> 00:46:52,080
Speaker 3: and center has, great speed. Great athleticism and Let's Say

954
00:46:52,080 --> 00:46:55,600
Speaker 3: cody bellinger either opts in or let's say he opts

955
00:46:55,600 --> 00:46:57,359
Speaker 3: out and, he's gone or he ops in and. He's

956
00:46:57,400 --> 00:46:59,840
Speaker 3: gone this season, after that he would slide in nicely and.

957
00:47:00,120 --> 00:47:03,360
Speaker 3: Enter THERE but i don't know this is going to

958
00:47:03,400 --> 00:47:05,520
Speaker 3: be a big season. For him i'm more okay with

959
00:47:05,600 --> 00:47:07,719
Speaker 3: him being traded now because of the two, hundred STRIKEOUTS

960
00:47:07,719 --> 00:47:09,960
Speaker 3: but i gotta see an improvement in that department.

961
00:47:10,000 --> 00:47:13,040
Speaker 1: This, year yeah twenty four years old to be Starting IN,

962
00:47:13,080 --> 00:47:14,919
Speaker 1: DOUBLE a i would call that. A failure he needs

963
00:47:14,960 --> 00:47:16,520
Speaker 1: to Start AT. Triple a he needs to do a

964
00:47:16,560 --> 00:47:18,640
Speaker 1: good enough job in spring training that he Starts AT

965
00:47:18,680 --> 00:47:20,840
Speaker 1: triple a and is pounding on the door to be

966
00:47:20,840 --> 00:47:22,680
Speaker 1: in the. Major LEAGUES but i just haven't. Seen it

967
00:47:23,200 --> 00:47:27,680
Speaker 1: as MUCH as i dislike the, man personally which is the,

968
00:47:28,200 --> 00:47:33,440
Speaker 1: Teacher Man, aaron judges swing doctor who's constantly talking Crap,

972
00:47:44,920 --> 00:47:52,839
Speaker 1: Excited About, jason dominguez number, one prospect five point one

973
00:47:52,960 --> 00:47:57,040
Speaker 1: million dollars signing bonus out Of The. Dominican republic made

974
00:47:57,040 --> 00:47:59,040
Speaker 1: his debut at twenty. Years old four, home runs in

975
00:47:59,080 --> 00:48:02,040
Speaker 1: his first seven game eight eighty oh ps in. The minors,

976
00:48:02,480 --> 00:48:06,080
Speaker 1: last year gonna be twenty two, years old and his

977
00:48:06,360 --> 00:48:11,239
Speaker 1: career has been a series. Of, problems originally after he,

978
00:48:11,320 --> 00:48:13,160
Speaker 1: was signed he got robbed of that first YEAR, by

979
00:48:13,200 --> 00:48:16,759
Speaker 1: covid and then, you know he struggled when he, came

980
00:48:16,840 --> 00:48:19,040
Speaker 1: back and then when he finally, made it he finally

981
00:48:19,120 --> 00:48:22,239
Speaker 1: accelerated through the. Minor leagues he, starts to, you know

982
00:48:22,360 --> 00:48:25,480
Speaker 1: tear up the major leagues and RIGHT away. Ucl surgery,

983
00:48:26,080 --> 00:48:28,480
Speaker 1: last year he's playing his ass off in the. Minor

984
00:48:28,560 --> 00:48:30,560
Speaker 1: leagues he probably could have been up by, mid SEASON

985
00:48:30,800 --> 00:48:32,280
Speaker 1: and i think he would have had a nice. Second

986
00:48:32,360 --> 00:48:35,520
Speaker 1: half but they leave him in the minor leagues until

987
00:48:35,520 --> 00:48:39,120
Speaker 1: the last moment they call him up to preserve his

988
00:48:39,840 --> 00:48:41,640
Speaker 1: service time, or whatever and that ended up being a.

989
00:48:41,640 --> 00:48:46,680
Speaker 1: Moot point and then. He struggled, you, know obviously trying

990
00:48:46,719 --> 00:48:48,279
Speaker 1: to take a job from a guy who's still on

991
00:48:48,320 --> 00:48:50,960
Speaker 1: the team is a lot. Of pressure. It's difficult he

992
00:48:51,000 --> 00:48:54,439
Speaker 1: had some, issues defensively nobody's. Denying that in the, minor

993
00:48:54,520 --> 00:48:57,200
Speaker 1: leagues he was seen as a solid defender in, center

994
00:48:57,239 --> 00:49:00,440
Speaker 1: field obviously not that comfortable in. Left field he had

995
00:49:00,480 --> 00:49:02,960
Speaker 1: some issues. In CENTERFIELD but i think that those were

996
00:49:02,960 --> 00:49:06,239
Speaker 1: more like victim, of circumstance like. It was it was

997
00:49:06,320 --> 00:49:09,360
Speaker 1: one Night in seattle where like people lost the ball for.

998
00:49:09,440 --> 00:49:12,080
Speaker 1: BOTH teams i Thought Saw julio rodriguez lose one in that.

999
00:49:12,160 --> 00:49:15,840
Speaker 1: Same game so, you Know the, seattle sky, you know

1000
00:49:15,880 --> 00:49:18,120
Speaker 1: when the roof is open, at twilight can be. VERY

1001
00:49:18,120 --> 00:49:22,279
Speaker 1: difficult i still believe in my heart of Hearts That

1002
00:49:22,360 --> 00:49:24,400
Speaker 1: jason mingez is going to be a big time player

1003
00:49:25,520 --> 00:49:27,759
Speaker 1: For the yankees, this year right there in front, Of

1004
00:49:27,840 --> 00:49:31,919
Speaker 1: US so i want to get your thoughts here as

1005
00:49:31,920 --> 00:49:35,760
Speaker 1: we complete the top ten or top twenty countdown On.

1006
00:49:35,920 --> 00:49:38,720
Speaker 1: The martian everyone.

1007
00:49:38,400 --> 00:49:40,880
Speaker 3: Calls Him, THE martian i call him the least On.

1008
00:49:40,960 --> 00:49:43,920
Speaker 3: AL gay i think that this guy is going to be,

1009
00:49:44,200 --> 00:49:49,560
Speaker 3: a special. Special player the thing his Defense and left

1010
00:49:49,640 --> 00:49:52,359
Speaker 3: is that. It's, concerning sure he looked a little rough

1011
00:49:52,360 --> 00:49:54,439
Speaker 3: out there in the short amount of time that we saw,

1012
00:49:54,520 --> 00:49:58,000
Speaker 3: Him there but, WITH him.

1013
00:49:58,239 --> 00:49:58,480
Speaker 1: I, Don't.

1014
00:49:58,520 --> 00:50:00,239
Speaker 3: Know derek you, tell, me like would would would you

1015
00:50:00,440 --> 00:50:03,120
Speaker 3: rather have him in center And put bellinger? And left

1016
00:50:03,120 --> 00:50:05,400
Speaker 3: because left in yankt him is still BIG and i

1017
00:50:05,480 --> 00:50:08,360
Speaker 3: would lean. That WAY but i feel like they're not gonna.

1018
00:50:08,360 --> 00:50:10,680
Speaker 3: DO that i feel like they're Gonna go bellinger Center

1019
00:50:10,719 --> 00:50:11,920
Speaker 3: and jason.

1020
00:50:11,960 --> 00:50:14,359
Speaker 1: AND left i one hundred percent agree that that's how

1021
00:50:14,360 --> 00:50:17,319
Speaker 1: they're gonna. Do IT and i agree With Commenter, AARON

1022
00:50:17,400 --> 00:50:20,799
Speaker 1: judge mvp twenty nine Who says bellinger in, Left field

1023
00:50:20,840 --> 00:50:23,000
Speaker 1: dominga is. In centerfield that's EXACTLY how i would. RUN

1024
00:50:23,040 --> 00:50:25,520
Speaker 1: it i, think that, You know bellinger is getting a little.

1025
00:50:25,520 --> 00:50:27,719
Speaker 1: BIT older i think he would translate fine to. LEFT

1026
00:50:27,719 --> 00:50:29,200
Speaker 1: field i think he'd be fine, doing IT and I,

1027
00:50:29,200 --> 00:50:32,160
Speaker 1: think dominguez as a twenty two year, old kid would

1028
00:50:32,200 --> 00:50:36,440
Speaker 1: handle centerfield a little. Bit better so that's THE way i.

1029
00:50:36,440 --> 00:50:39,600
Speaker 1: Would go let's talk a little bit about. Our, untouchables

1030
00:50:39,600 --> 00:50:43,640
Speaker 1: okay so we're gonna each pick two guys right from

1031
00:50:43,640 --> 00:50:45,880
Speaker 1: that top twenty list. You got, you know one of

1032
00:50:45,880 --> 00:50:48,160
Speaker 1: Mine Is. Jason dominguez He is there's, no Way and

1033
00:50:48,200 --> 00:50:50,839
Speaker 1: i'd argue you'd probably be one for, you, too right

1034
00:50:50,840 --> 00:50:51,400
Speaker 1: and you wouldn't.

1035
00:50:51,520 --> 00:50:54,440
Speaker 3: DO it i honestly feel like we should exclude him

1036
00:50:54,440 --> 00:50:56,880
Speaker 3: because it's just known he's a star for us and.

1037
00:50:56,880 --> 00:50:59,799
Speaker 1: He's untouchable so so let's pick one other guy from

1038
00:50:59,840 --> 00:51:03,400
Speaker 1: the that no matter who, comes knocking we're. Not dealing.

1039
00:51:05,400 --> 00:51:07,839
Speaker 3: I'm Going Georgia. Lombard junior, all.

1040
00:51:07,840 --> 00:51:11,680
Speaker 1: RIGHT yeah i MEAN he's i mean a. HUGE upside

1041
00:51:11,960 --> 00:51:15,279
Speaker 1: i think he's gonna. BE fantastic I think i would

1042
00:51:15,320 --> 00:51:17,799
Speaker 1: Go With henry lelane JUST to i probably Go with,

1043
00:51:17,840 --> 00:51:19,759
Speaker 1: lombard two but just to make, IT interesting i think

1044
00:51:19,880 --> 00:51:24,560
Speaker 1: next on the list Would Be. Henry lalani, I'm, sorry

1045
00:51:24,640 --> 00:51:28,520
Speaker 1: yeah just six seven lefties who throw ninety five with

1046
00:51:28,520 --> 00:51:31,439
Speaker 1: a nasty change up don't grow, On trees so let's

1047
00:51:31,440 --> 00:51:34,719
Speaker 1: talk about the opposite. Of that who would? We MOVE

1048
00:51:35,320 --> 00:51:37,560
Speaker 1: and i don't know what's up with. MY videos i

1049
00:51:37,560 --> 00:51:40,360
Speaker 1: think he keeps shrinking. On me which prospects do you

1050
00:51:40,400 --> 00:51:41,399
Speaker 1: think would be? Trade bait?

1051
00:51:43,600 --> 00:51:47,600
Speaker 3: TRADE bait I think I Think will warren just because

1052
00:51:47,680 --> 00:51:50,200
Speaker 3: of he's kind of right there to be at the

1053
00:51:50,239 --> 00:51:53,480
Speaker 3: major league so he's like a major league ready arm

1054
00:51:53,719 --> 00:51:57,440
Speaker 3: and he is. Twenty five he hasn't really impressed anybody

1055
00:51:57,480 --> 00:51:59,600
Speaker 3: at the major, league, level obviously but he is the fifth,

1056
00:51:59,640 --> 00:52:03,560
Speaker 3: Best prospect so that would probably be the GUY that

1057
00:52:04,560 --> 00:52:07,680
Speaker 3: i would think his. TRADE bait i don't really see

1058
00:52:07,800 --> 00:52:11,120
Speaker 3: him making a huge impact at the. NEXT level i

1059
00:52:11,120 --> 00:52:12,880
Speaker 3: don't know how other teams feel. About him AND then

1060
00:52:12,880 --> 00:52:14,920
Speaker 3: i guess if we're, Doing. Two derek the other one

1061
00:52:14,920 --> 00:52:18,799
Speaker 3: i'd Pick Is everson pereira for similar reasons, as well

1062
00:52:18,920 --> 00:52:21,080
Speaker 3: kind of knocking on. THE door i don't. Really see

1063
00:52:21,400 --> 00:52:24,239
Speaker 3: even if he was like a very good PROSPECT and

1064
00:52:24,280 --> 00:52:27,160
Speaker 3: i thought pretty highly, OF him i still don't see

1065
00:52:27,600 --> 00:52:30,200
Speaker 3: a place. For, HIM honestly i just don't see how

1066
00:52:30,239 --> 00:52:32,000
Speaker 3: you can get him like regular every day.

1067
00:52:32,000 --> 00:52:35,480
Speaker 1: At, BATS yeah i kind of agree with both of.

1068
00:52:35,480 --> 00:52:38,080
Speaker 1: YOUR points i think one MORE that i would throw,

1069
00:52:38,120 --> 00:52:39,960
Speaker 1: in there and this is gonna piss off a lot,

1070
00:52:40,000 --> 00:52:42,080
Speaker 1: of People Is. SPENCER jones I just i'm not. A

1071
00:52:42,120 --> 00:52:44,759
Speaker 1: believer i am not a Believer In spencer jones at.

1072
00:52:44,760 --> 00:52:48,000
Speaker 1: This point just too many swings. AND misses i just

1073
00:52:48,040 --> 00:52:50,520
Speaker 1: don't think he's. Gonna, translate well, you know guys don't

1074
00:52:50,560 --> 00:52:52,640
Speaker 1: go down and strikeouts typically when they go up, A

1075
00:52:52,680 --> 00:52:55,759
Speaker 1: level so it. Worries me, all right let's go through

1076
00:52:55,840 --> 00:52:58,239
Speaker 1: our sleeper picks to see if the. Video's, tiny no,

1077
00:52:58,400 --> 00:53:00,480
Speaker 1: this one this one came, out normal. All right so

1078
00:53:01,040 --> 00:53:04,560
Speaker 1: from the bottom eleven or, bottom ten from eleven, through

1079
00:53:04,680 --> 00:53:08,120
Speaker 1: twenty who would you think from? That list and we've

1080
00:53:08,120 --> 00:53:11,880
Speaker 1: already Talked, about lelani maybe one other name that you

1081
00:53:11,920 --> 00:53:13,280
Speaker 1: think could be a big Time Sleeper.

1082
00:53:14,360 --> 00:53:20,440
Speaker 3: BRANDO maya I think i really like, his athleticism. THE

1083
00:53:20,560 --> 00:53:23,280
Speaker 3: speed i think that the way the game is headed

1084
00:53:23,360 --> 00:53:26,240
Speaker 3: is that's really going to. Play well he's really. REALLY

1085
00:53:26,320 --> 00:53:29,880
Speaker 3: young Mlb dot com doesn't even have him like making

1086
00:53:29,920 --> 00:53:33,600
Speaker 3: his estimated debut until twenty, twenty eight so we're still

1087
00:53:33,640 --> 00:53:35,680
Speaker 3: like a few years away. From there it'll be interesting

1088
00:53:35,719 --> 00:53:37,759
Speaker 3: to see how, he develops which is FINE because i

1089
00:53:37,760 --> 00:53:40,799
Speaker 3: don't really think there's really a spot for him at, this,

1090
00:53:40,960 --> 00:53:43,040
Speaker 3: moment obviously even if he were knocking on. The door

1091
00:53:43,080 --> 00:53:45,480
Speaker 3: but that is definitely A guy i think kind of

1092
00:53:45,520 --> 00:53:48,040
Speaker 3: as like A SLEEPER lelana i love, Him too but other,

1093

1131
00:55:30,680 --> 00:55:33,480
Speaker 6: GETTING close i think we're on the, right path going, for,

1132
00:55:34,560 --> 00:55:39,000
Speaker 6: defense fifteen better. Base running still like to see a decent,

1133
00:55:39,080 --> 00:55:43,279
Speaker 6: third baseman. POP pop i know the choices are slim,

1134
00:55:43,360 --> 00:55:46,440
Speaker 6: right now but if we could get somebody in around

1135
00:55:46,440 --> 00:55:49,960
Speaker 6: two fifty two sixty a good, DEFENSIVE player i think

1136
00:55:50,000 --> 00:55:50,800
Speaker 6: that would be solid.

1137
00:55:50,800 --> 00:55:51,560
Speaker 4: For us what do, you?

1138
00:55:51,560 --> 00:55:55,680
Speaker 1: THINK thanks i do think it's interesting That the yankees

1139
00:55:55,680 --> 00:55:58,120
Speaker 1: are kind of going with the pitching and defense approach.

1140
00:55:58,480 --> 00:56:01,200
Speaker 1: Right now we haven't, seen THAT and i know fans,

1141
00:56:01,239 --> 00:56:04,600
Speaker 1: love offense and this might be just one of those

1142
00:56:04,640 --> 00:56:07,640
Speaker 1: years where they're not as exciting as, a team but

1143
00:56:07,920 --> 00:56:10,399
Speaker 1: they might be a very, good team a. Solid team

1144
00:56:10,400 --> 00:56:10,880
Speaker 1: we'll see how it.

1145
00:56:10,920 --> 00:56:15,880
Speaker 2: Shakes, Out, Hey derek i'm a little concerned about twenty twenty,

1146
00:56:15,920 --> 00:56:18,960
Speaker 2: Six payroll so Obviously the yankees are making a lot

1147
00:56:18,960 --> 00:56:20,680
Speaker 2: of moves right now, or whatever and, it's GREAT right

1148
00:56:20,719 --> 00:56:23,120
Speaker 2: i think we're gonna have phenomenal twenty Twenty, five however

1149
00:56:24,080 --> 00:56:25,920
Speaker 2: if you look at the beauf you break down the

1150
00:56:26,120 --> 00:56:30,279
Speaker 2: if you could break down the free agents lift and

1151
00:56:30,320 --> 00:56:33,640
Speaker 2: the payroll for twenty twenty, six right because FROM what i,

1152
00:56:33,680 --> 00:56:35,520
Speaker 2: can tell there's not a lot of money coming up

1153
00:56:35,600 --> 00:56:38,279
Speaker 2: payroll for the twenty twenty. Sixth season it's, Just, like

1154
00:56:38,320 --> 00:56:40,439
Speaker 2: okay how are we going To Sign kyle tucker with

1155
00:56:40,640 --> 00:56:43,279
Speaker 2: like twenty with only like twenty five million or thirty

1156
00:56:43,280 --> 00:56:45,080
Speaker 2: million coming off the payroll books or whatever.

1157
00:56:45,120 --> 00:56:47,160
Speaker 3: It Is but i'm probably not.

1158
00:56:47,200 --> 00:56:50,560
Speaker 2: Seeing something maybe, you are, so yeah you could, address

1159
00:56:50,560 --> 00:56:50,879
Speaker 2: that it'd.

1160
00:56:50,920 --> 00:56:53,239
Speaker 1: Be GREAT so i don't Think the yankees would be

1161
00:56:53,239 --> 00:56:55,879
Speaker 1: that concerned about the payroll in, one season especially since

1162
00:56:55,880 --> 00:56:58,400
Speaker 1: they're going to get under that third level tax. This

1163
00:56:58,560 --> 00:57:02,240
Speaker 1: year but They've Got john carlo coming off the books

1164
00:57:02,280 --> 00:57:06,120
Speaker 1: a couple of years, After that They've got rodin eventually

1165
00:57:06,120 --> 00:57:08,440
Speaker 1: coming off. The Books garrett cole's only got four. Years,

1166
00:57:08,560 --> 00:57:10,680
Speaker 1: left really you're hoping to get three. Good ones you're

1167
00:57:10,680 --> 00:57:13,120
Speaker 1: hoping to get two good ones Out. Of stanton then

1168
00:57:13,120 --> 00:57:15,839
Speaker 1: you got some guys coming off. THE books i don't

1169
00:57:15,880 --> 00:57:18,960
Speaker 1: Think the yankees would let money be a deturnent To Getting.

1170
00:57:19,040 --> 00:57:20,840
Speaker 1: Kyle tucker he's one of those guys who would be

1171
00:57:20,840 --> 00:57:25,640
Speaker 1: Awesome At. Yankee, Stadium Yeah, hi Derek it's.

1172
00:57:25,760 --> 00:57:30,919
Speaker 4: Eddie again just got listening to your. Show today i've

1173
00:57:30,920 --> 00:57:33,560
Speaker 4: been hearing a lot and seeing it a lot About

1174
00:57:33,560 --> 00:57:39,000
Speaker 4: the yankees making a possible Trade For. Brandon. Lowe good,

1175
00:57:39,160 --> 00:57:41,240
Speaker 4: YOU know i think he's a, switch hitter but that's lefty.

1176
00:57:41,320 --> 00:57:43,919
Speaker 4: A lot i, Know that and he's a, good hitter

1177
00:57:44,520 --> 00:57:48,040
Speaker 4: and he always Hurts. The yankees he's only making like,

1178
00:57:48,200 --> 00:57:51,240
Speaker 4: ten million Which for tampa's a lot. Of money but

1179
00:57:52,280 --> 00:57:54,840
Speaker 4: and you wouldn't have to go, long time just this year.

1180
00:57:54,880 --> 00:57:57,120
Speaker 4: And next but you could put him at second base

1181
00:57:58,280 --> 00:58:02,320
Speaker 4: and that would really help the Lineup, and champa, you

1182
00:58:02,360 --> 00:58:05,360
Speaker 4: know then when to get rid. Of payroll and they,

1183
00:58:05,440 --> 00:58:08,840
Speaker 4: love prospects so you could probably, get him take, the

1184
00:58:08,960 --> 00:58:13,960
Speaker 4: salary thrown some, decent prospects and put him. At second

1185
00:58:14,720 --> 00:58:17,200
Speaker 4: and THEN you, i think you then that's the bat?

1186
00:58:17,280 --> 00:58:20,720
Speaker 4: You need you want one? More bat there, YOU go

1187
00:58:20,800 --> 00:58:21,280
Speaker 4: i want To.

1188
00:58:21,200 --> 00:58:23,880
Speaker 1: Get, You're right, So yeah i'm gonna go ahead and stop.

1189
00:58:23,880 --> 00:58:28,400
Speaker 1: You there that's a. Great call brandon low is. Ideal

1190
00:58:28,440 --> 00:58:30,360
Speaker 1: fit he could play. Second base that would allow you

1191
00:58:30,400 --> 00:58:33,880
Speaker 1: To Keep jazz chisholm over there at third base where,

1192
00:58:33,720 --> 00:58:36,280
Speaker 1: he looked, you know more and more comfortable every day.

1193
00:58:36,760 --> 00:58:39,520
Speaker 1: Last year he's a four, win player give, or TAKE

1194
00:58:39,560 --> 00:58:41,520
Speaker 1: and i think he would do Great At. Yankee stadium

1195
00:58:41,840 --> 00:58:44,360
Speaker 1: his power alley is right to the, you know short

1196
00:58:44,360 --> 00:58:46,240
Speaker 1: Porch At, yankee STADIUM so i think he would. Do

1197
00:58:46,280 --> 00:58:49,080
Speaker 1: great But the rays probably don't want to deal him To.

1198
00:58:49,120 --> 00:58:51,760
Speaker 1: The yankees they're already Paying the yankees fifteen million dollars

1199
00:58:51,760 --> 00:58:54,360
Speaker 1: a year to use. THEIR stadium i can't see them

1200
00:58:55,320 --> 00:58:58,440
Speaker 1: trading him To, the yankees and, QUITE frankly i think

1201
00:58:58,480 --> 00:59:00,080
Speaker 1: that they're going to. KEEP him i, think that, you

1202
00:59:00,120 --> 00:59:04,240
Speaker 1: know he's got some some fan, power THERE and i

1203
00:59:04,240 --> 00:59:06,840
Speaker 1: don't think that they're going to. Move HIM so i

1204
00:59:06,880 --> 00:59:10,280
Speaker 1: wouldn't expect them to, trade HIM but i would expect

1205
00:59:10,280 --> 00:59:12,000
Speaker 1: some more. TRADES coming i could see Them moving. MARCUS

1206
00:59:12,000 --> 00:59:13,760
Speaker 1: stromhen i think they want to get down under that

1207

Speaker 1: three hundred million. Dollar mark so we'll see how. It goes, all,
