Let's 19 00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:55,120 Speaker 1: start off here talking about players outside the top fifty 20 00:00:55,200 --> 00:00:57,240 Speaker 1: ADP that we think should be in the top twenty 21 00:00:57,280 --> 00:00:59,440 Speaker 1: five Welsh, Why don't you start us off with two 22 00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:02,440 Speaker 1: guys that you think are being undervalued going into drafts 23 00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:03,560 Speaker 1: and that you are drafting. 24 00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:05,600 Speaker 2: I thought we were gonna do like tool songs, We're 25 00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:07,520 Speaker 2: gonna like schiz them or I don't know. 26 00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:10,520 Speaker 1: I don't is tool songs really something sing along to. 27 00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:12,560 Speaker 1: I feel like it's more of a vibe. 28 00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:14,880 Speaker 2: I definitely not sing a long time. You don't get 29 00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:17,319 Speaker 2: in the car and we're like, you know, nobody's. 30 00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:19,040 Speaker 1: Thinking about the tool with the windows open. I don't 31 00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:19,479 Speaker 1: feel like. 32 00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:23,399 Speaker 2: You no, but we're just like, yeah, that's how we're rolling. 33 00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:25,600 Speaker 2: But we're not gonna talk about tools. No, no, no, no, 34 00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:27,480 Speaker 2: We're not gonna say I actually just listen to some 35 00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:29,640 Speaker 2: tool the other day. I grew up loving it. But 36 00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:31,679 Speaker 2: I'll stop being a tool and we'll talk about the 37 00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:34,800 Speaker 2: players that you guys want to actually draft. So in 38 00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:38,240 Speaker 2: this vibe of like players that you can't leave your 39 00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:40,720 Speaker 2: draft without or you've got to take, you know, the foundation, 40 00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:45,920 Speaker 2: I think the number one guy is mikel Garcia. Especially 41 00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:48,040 Speaker 2: if we're going to be taking a look and having 42 00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:51,000 Speaker 2: that parameter of like outside the top fifty, it definitely 43 00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:54,240 Speaker 2: starts narrowing. It narrows what we're looking at for an 44 00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:56,680 Speaker 2: elite player. But one thing I was looking at, and 45 00:01:57,040 --> 00:02:00,760 Speaker 2: this became funny. I thought Heraldo Perdomo was actually kind 46 00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:02,560 Speaker 2: of one of those baseline players, Like if you look 47 00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:05,160 Speaker 2: at what he did last year, he was a five 48 00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:07,440 Speaker 2: category player. And if I'm going to put a player 49 00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:09,560 Speaker 2: outside the top fifty that you know should or could 50 00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:11,799 Speaker 2: be a top twenty five, let's pick a top twenty 51 00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:14,800 Speaker 2: five overall or a five tool type of player like 52 00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:17,560 Speaker 2: Heraldo Perdomo. But Perdomo's cost has gone up this year, 53 00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:19,679 Speaker 2: So one of the next best bets is a guy 54 00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:22,760 Speaker 2: like MIKEL. Garcia, who also does a little bit of everything. 55 00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:25,799 Speaker 2: His runs an RBI leave a little bit to be desired, 56 00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:28,440 Speaker 2: but sixteen homers, twenty three stolen bases he hit two 57 00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:31,520 Speaker 2: eighty six last year. Unlike Perdomo, he's got some really 58 00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:35,480 Speaker 2: like high end batting metrics. His hard hit rate has 59 00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:38,400 Speaker 2: been really nice. He also doesn't strike out, and I 60 00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:40,680 Speaker 2: think he's a guy that you know qualifies pinning where 61 00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:43,440 Speaker 2: you play at multiple positions. He's going to get you 62 00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:47,280 Speaker 2: relatively five categories. He's probably going to be a little 63 00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:49,360 Speaker 2: bit higher end. On a couple of those qualifying at 64 00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:51,600 Speaker 2: like third, he can get twenty plus stolen bases. 65 00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:52,600 Speaker 3: I think MIKEL. 66 00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:56,040 Speaker 2: Garcia is kind of a must have based on his costs, 67 00:02:56,560 --> 00:02:59,480 Speaker 2: based on position eligibility, and he does a little bit 68 00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:03,040 Speaker 2: of everything. So MIKEL. Garcia just is always just like 69 00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:06,160 Speaker 2: flashing lights at me during drafts, and I gotta get him, 70 00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:06,600 Speaker 2: all right. 71 00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:08,960 Speaker 1: So Garcia's one. Do you have a pitcher that you're 72 00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:09,679 Speaker 1: looking for too? 73 00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:14,280 Speaker 2: I didn't mean to even pick this guy or another Royal, 74 00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:16,640 Speaker 2: but you guys both picked a couple. I thought your 75 00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:19,120 Speaker 2: names were pretty dang good here. But if you want 76 00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:21,280 Speaker 2: to talk about a guy that can be a top 77 00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:23,680 Speaker 2: twenty five player, I think it's hard to deny Cole 78 00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:27,640 Speaker 2: Reagans in here. Cole Reagan's with the huge, huge strikeout ability, 79 00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:30,280 Speaker 2: looks like he's finally healthy. You probably got to throw 80 00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:31,960 Speaker 2: out a little bit of what you had last year. 81 00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:34,520 Speaker 2: But what you did have in your very short stint 82 00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:36,960 Speaker 2: last year was a thirty eight percent K percentage. You 83 00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:39,240 Speaker 2: had a lowered walk rate, and you had a guy 84 00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:42,040 Speaker 2: that had a four to six seven ERA and expected 85 00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:45,440 Speaker 2: ERA two runs lower. It was two six seven. So 86 00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:49,640 Speaker 2: if he gets and regains where he was before. And 87 00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:52,440 Speaker 2: I think Arico has made this case like he's a 88 00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:55,280 Speaker 2: top twenty five guys. So again, based on the cost, 89 00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:58,520 Speaker 2: I have actually walked away multiple drafts TGFBI, I walked 90 00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:02,480 Speaker 2: away as my first pitcher with Cole Reagan's that he 91 00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:06,240 Speaker 2: is the highest in return. His floor is a little 92 00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:09,280 Speaker 2: shaky because of the injury, but why he becomes a 93 00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:12,240 Speaker 2: must have is like I want hitters. I want hitters 94 00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:14,880 Speaker 2: early on in drafts, and he has got the pure 95 00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:17,080 Speaker 2: ace upside. So if he can return with that big 96 00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:19,440 Speaker 2: K percentage, and really he just needs to stay healthy, 97 00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:22,080 Speaker 2: he's going to be an absolute must have outside of 98 00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:22,800 Speaker 2: the top fifty. 99 00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:26,200 Speaker 1: All right, Joe Rico, what's your answer to Welsh's royal flush? 100 00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:29,120 Speaker 1: Here two guys outside the top fifty that you think 101 00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:30,560 Speaker 1: should be inside the top twenty five. 102 00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:32,359 Speaker 4: So I'll start with a pitcher of my own, and 103 00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:34,960 Speaker 4: it's George Kirby. Now, he dealt with the shoulder injury 104 00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:37,119 Speaker 4: to begin last year. Obviously it was only one hundred 105 00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:38,680 Speaker 4: and twenty six innings and it was a four to 106 00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:40,719 Speaker 4: twenty one era, so I think people on the surface 107 00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:43,160 Speaker 4: were disappointed in George Kirby, but he did have the 108 00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:46,320 Speaker 4: three thirty seven FIP three twenty five expected FIP, and 109 00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:48,240 Speaker 4: his strikeout rate was better than it had ever been 110 00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:50,400 Speaker 4: at twenty six percent the first couple of years of 111 00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:52,480 Speaker 4: George Kirby's career. That was always kind of the problem. 112 00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:54,560 Speaker 4: We weren't sure if we were going to see massive 113 00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:57,080 Speaker 4: strikeout totals from him. But at twenty six percent, with 114 00:04:57,160 --> 00:04:58,840 Speaker 4: the volume that we've seen over the first couple of 115 00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:01,000 Speaker 4: years of his career, George Kirby could be a first 116 00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:02,960 Speaker 4: time two hundred straakeout guy this season. 117 00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:05,280 Speaker 3: The whips are always good, even in a bad year. 118 00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:07,280 Speaker 4: Last year it was one nineteen and now a healthy 119 00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:10,520 Speaker 4: George Kirby in that ballpark, I think is primed for 120 00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:13,240 Speaker 4: a top twenty five return. Another guy where you know, 121 00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:15,560 Speaker 4: to Walsh's Cole Reagan's point, you want to take hitters 122 00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:17,640 Speaker 4: for the first few rounds. George Kirby. Maybe you'd prefer 123 00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:19,800 Speaker 4: George Kirby to be your number two, but I think 124 00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:21,960 Speaker 4: he can easily function as an ace. As we've seen 125 00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:24,240 Speaker 4: in the past as well. Just a year ago, George 126 00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:26,400 Speaker 4: Kirby was being drafted as an ace, and I think 127 00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:28,640 Speaker 4: he can get back to that form this year. Now 128 00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:31,120 Speaker 4: my hitter is also named George. Funnily enough, this was 129 00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:34,200 Speaker 4: just coincidental, but as George Springer not trying to be 130 00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:37,520 Speaker 4: a homer here, But George Springer's ranking slash ADP this 131 00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:40,640 Speaker 4: year is generally about seventy five to one hundred, depending 132 00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:42,640 Speaker 4: on which site you're looking at, and it is reasonable. 133 00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:44,440 Speaker 4: But George Springer, if were talking about a guy who 134 00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:46,240 Speaker 4: could finish in the top twenty five, George Springer was 135 00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:49,160 Speaker 4: the eleventh overall player last season. We do have to 136 00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:52,080 Speaker 4: worry about some age falloff, but he was phenomenal and 137 00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:54,360 Speaker 4: made a lot of improvements, including in his barrel rate 138 00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:57,320 Speaker 4: going up to sixteen percent forty seven percent hard hit 139 00:05:57,400 --> 00:05:59,839 Speaker 4: rate was the best of his career. And I think, 140 00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:02,160 Speaker 4: maybe most importantly for George Springer, he's going to be 141 00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:04,719 Speaker 4: predominantly d ching. Last year he kind of split half 142 00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:07,240 Speaker 4: and half dching and in the field. The Blue Jays 143 00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:09,520 Speaker 4: wants to keep him healthy as he continues to get older, 144 00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:11,560 Speaker 4: and George Springer, now thirty six years old, is going 145 00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:12,800 Speaker 4: to be thirty seven at the end of the year. 146 00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:14,680 Speaker 4: They want to keep him healthy, and I think dhing 147 00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:16,600 Speaker 4: is the way to do it. So another healthy George 148 00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:18,800 Speaker 4: Springer season at the top of that order. Maybe he's 149 00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:20,600 Speaker 4: not a first round player again, but top twenty five 150 00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:21,599 Speaker 4: is definitely within reason. 151 00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:26,200 Speaker 1: All right, So we got the Royals theme, We've got 152 00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:29,039 Speaker 1: the George's theme with Joe Rico. I don't have a 153 00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:32,279 Speaker 1: theme for mine. I came to class unprepared. I just 154 00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:34,599 Speaker 1: went with good players that I think are basically being 155 00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:37,719 Speaker 1: grossly undervalued. I'm trying to look ahead to what I 156 00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:39,440 Speaker 1: think next year's ADP is going to be and who 157 00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:41,279 Speaker 1: could crack that top twenty five. And the first guy 158 00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:43,760 Speaker 1: that just jumps off the page to me is Roman Anthony. 159 00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:46,880 Speaker 1: I think he is absolutely going to be the next 160 00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:49,240 Speaker 1: star of the Boston Red Sox. When you look at 161 00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:52,880 Speaker 1: this slash of batting average and OBP and slugging percentage 162 00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:55,919 Speaker 1: of the minor leagues, it was all star potential stuff. 163 00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:57,600 Speaker 1: That's what you're looking for. I know it was a 164 00:06:57,640 --> 00:07:00,520 Speaker 1: little slow start to his major league care last year, 165 00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:02,320 Speaker 1: but that's that's a lot of rookies. It's most rookies, 166 00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:04,640 Speaker 1: no matter how big the upside play is. I look 167 00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:06,640 Speaker 1: at Roman Anthony and I look at the swing. I 168 00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:09,240 Speaker 1: look at what he delivers in terms of contact, in 169 00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:13,040 Speaker 1: terms of power, the lefty in Fenway Park, I got 170 00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:14,600 Speaker 1: all those things that you just love to see from 171 00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:16,840 Speaker 1: Roman Anthony. I think he can deliver on all that promise. 172 00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:18,600 Speaker 1: And then the other guy, to me is another one 173 00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:20,960 Speaker 1: where you know, you guys talked about like George Kirby, 174 00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:22,880 Speaker 1: I feel good about his My ace Cole Reagan's. I'm 175 00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:25,120 Speaker 1: still a little shaky on because of the durability factor. 176 00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:28,160 Speaker 1: My guy has no durability factors. He makes thirty starts 177 00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:30,000 Speaker 1: every year for the last three years. He strikes out 178 00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:31,760 Speaker 1: two hundred guys every year for the last three years. 179 00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:34,480 Speaker 1: It's Freddy Peralta who's pitching for a contract. He's in 180 00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:37,920 Speaker 1: fantastic shape. I washed the pits in yesterday's game as well, 181 00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:39,160 Speaker 1: just to see I was going in the spring a 182 00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:41,080 Speaker 1: little bit rough. In the first inning, second inning, he 183 00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:44,200 Speaker 1: looked fantastic. Obviously, you know he's working on things starwing 184 00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:45,840 Speaker 1: a lot of change ups. So you can't always take 185 00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:48,600 Speaker 1: these spring starts too seriously. What you want to see 186 00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:50,040 Speaker 1: is the feel for pitching, and you want to see 187 00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:52,080 Speaker 1: how they, you know, come off the mound. Do they 188 00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:54,600 Speaker 1: look good? Is the fastball sharp? All that stuff. Everything 189 00:07:54,760 --> 00:07:57,240 Speaker 1: was for Freddy Peralta. So again, a guy annually who 190 00:07:57,240 --> 00:07:59,640 Speaker 1: gives you a you know, mid to low three era 191 00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:03,560 Speaker 1: two hunch of strikeouts thirty starts, that's what I want. 192 00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:05,760 Speaker 1: And look, some of these players too contextually, you know, 193 00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:08,400 Speaker 1: if you're looking for, you know, a guy like I 194 00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:10,960 Speaker 1: would say Cole Reagan's big strikeout potential. 195 00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:11,640 Speaker 3: We know that in the head to. 196 00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:13,720 Speaker 1: Head leagues is huge if you know BP leagues. George 197 00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:16,760 Speaker 1: Springer huge asset as well, potentially for you there, and 198 00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:20,160 Speaker 1: guys like Freddie Peralta again, head to head leagues, guys 199 00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:22,560 Speaker 1: who make starts every single week. It's very important. All right, 200 00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:25,720 Speaker 1: We're gonna transition here to some mid round steals. These 201 00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:28,800 Speaker 1: are players outside the top one twenty five ADP that 202 00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:31,000 Speaker 1: we think should be going inside the top seventy five. 203 00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:33,839 Speaker 1: So basically this is about value. Joe Rico, why don't 204 00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:35,640 Speaker 1: you kick things off here with your two players that 205 00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:37,880 Speaker 1: you've kind of circled here in this range. 206 00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:40,520 Speaker 4: Yeah, so I didn't mean to continue a theme, but 207 00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:43,319 Speaker 4: these are both Miami Marlins players and it's completely unintentional. 208 00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:45,880 Speaker 4: But we'll start with Jacob Marcy and I know, well, 209 00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:47,960 Speaker 4: should I have been in on Jacob Marcy going back 210 00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:50,680 Speaker 4: to at least our live show in Arizona, if not 211 00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:53,920 Speaker 4: even before so. I mentioned on a show a couple 212 00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:57,160 Speaker 4: of weeks ago that the three year way that projections 213 00:08:57,200 --> 00:08:58,839 Speaker 4: look at a player, they look back over the last 214 00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:01,280 Speaker 4: couple of seasons is really important. Looking at the most 215 00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:03,880 Speaker 4: recent sample size can be deceiving. But on the other 216 00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:07,280 Speaker 4: side of that, there are players that drastically change their makeup, 217 00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:09,400 Speaker 4: and I think Jacob Marcy is one of those guys 218 00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:12,280 Speaker 4: who did in twenty twenty five drastically change his approach 219 00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:14,360 Speaker 4: of the plate, and the projections haven't really captured that. 220 00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:15,640 Speaker 3: They think he's going to be a two to. 221 00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:18,199 Speaker 4: Thirty hitter across the board two twenty five, two thirty 222 00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:20,679 Speaker 4: seven to two thirty. He hit two ninety two last year. 223 00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:22,400 Speaker 4: When I look at the plate discipline metrics, I think 224 00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:24,400 Speaker 4: he can repeat that at least in the two sixty 225 00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:26,959 Speaker 4: two to seventy range. He doesn't chase, makes a lot 226 00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:29,200 Speaker 4: of contact, is not swing and miss. He is going 227 00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:31,880 Speaker 4: to have secure playing time, really good defensive player, and 228 00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:34,920 Speaker 4: we saw just last year a forty seven steel fourteen 229 00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:37,440 Speaker 4: home run campaign over just ninety eight games. 230 00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:37,960 Speaker 3: A triple A. 231 00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:40,880 Speaker 4: He gets called up five homers, fourteen steals over just 232 00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:43,439 Speaker 4: fifty five games. I think the runway is clear for 233 00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:46,960 Speaker 4: Jacob Marci to be at the very least a top 234 00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:48,679 Speaker 4: one hundred player this season, and I think he can 235 00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:50,880 Speaker 4: get inside the top seventy five as well. And then 236 00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:52,640 Speaker 4: if I'm going to talk about the other player, and 237 00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:56,040 Speaker 4: that's Sandy al Contra. You know, the Tommy John honeymoon 238 00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:58,160 Speaker 4: thing I think is real. You know, the first year 239 00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:00,360 Speaker 4: players come back and they tend to struggle with command 240 00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:02,280 Speaker 4: to control a little bit. In Sandy, it was a 241 00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:04,840 Speaker 4: rough first half, no question about it, but he did 242 00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:07,080 Speaker 4: settle down over the final eight starts of the year. 243 00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:09,760 Speaker 4: He looked really good, looked more like classic Sandy. And 244 00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:12,079 Speaker 4: even in that first returning year from Tommy John it 245 00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:13,959 Speaker 4: was one hundred and seventy four innings. I think we 246 00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:15,719 Speaker 4: can get back to the two hundred plus range. I 247 00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:18,080 Speaker 4: think the strikeouts are going to rebound, and that command, 248 00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:20,320 Speaker 4: like most guys in their second year back from Tommy John, 249 00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:22,160 Speaker 4: should be quite a bit better than it was. It 250 00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:24,040 Speaker 4: was only a seven point seven percent walk rate, but 251 00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:25,480 Speaker 4: I think Sandy can get back to the five to 252 00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:27,880 Speaker 4: six percent range, give you that good whip and give 253 00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:30,800 Speaker 4: you that volume, and you can function as an sp 254 00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:32,960 Speaker 4: one given how many innings he's going to pitch this year. 255 00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:35,800 Speaker 1: All right, Welsh, I don't know if you've got a 256 00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:37,400 Speaker 1: theme here. I kind of want to break the streak 257 00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:39,120 Speaker 1: a little bit. So tell me about two players that 258 00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:41,800 Speaker 1: you think are steals outside the top one twenty five 259 00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:44,360 Speaker 1: ADP that should be really more like in the top 260 00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:46,640 Speaker 1: seventy five at least maybe going to next year's drafts. 261 00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:48,760 Speaker 2: Closest theme I have is they both play in like 262 00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:51,880 Speaker 2: the state of California currently. That's about That's about as 263 00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:54,480 Speaker 2: good as I can do for you. Number one, very 264 00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:58,920 Speaker 2: popular name. I think the EIGHTYP outside of the top 265 00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:01,680 Speaker 2: one twenty five is going to start to adjust for 266 00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:03,600 Speaker 2: this guy because we've talked about him a lot. I 267 00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:06,840 Speaker 2: think Rico just did a video one of the Battle 268 00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:10,520 Speaker 2: videos with Lad Siedler and Rob Silver talking about this guy. 269 00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:13,920 Speaker 2: And in drafts, you know, in some instances he goes 270 00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:16,079 Speaker 2: really high, in some he doesn't. But it's Emmit Shean, 271 00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:19,000 Speaker 2: who we've been talking about on the channel for quite 272 00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:19,600 Speaker 2: a long time. 273 00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:19,800 Speaker 3: Here. 274 00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:23,760 Speaker 2: Two A two era last season, eighty nine strikeouts, sub 275 00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:26,360 Speaker 2: one whip and he is in the rotation this year. 276 00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:28,480 Speaker 2: That is not a question. That's funny because we had 277 00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:31,000 Speaker 2: this debate like a couple months ago where it was 278 00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:33,000 Speaker 2: like are we sure, and it's like, I'm sure. Like 279 00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:35,880 Speaker 2: if there's anybody that's getting booted from the rotation and 280 00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:38,840 Speaker 2: ain't m Michihan, it's with the Rokie stuff. And obviously 281 00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:41,520 Speaker 2: that's kind of you know, falling apart. But you know 282 00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:43,960 Speaker 2: the negatives are this team has been in like you know, 283 00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:46,319 Speaker 2: six man rotation. Hell, they're going to kind of keep 284 00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:49,920 Speaker 2: rolling with. But Emmit Sheen is starting to look like 285 00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:52,480 Speaker 2: he has got elite peripherals. I mean, because we focus 286 00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:55,000 Speaker 2: on Blake Snow, we focus on Tyler Glass and obviously 287 00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:58,040 Speaker 2: Yamamoto's his own path here, but like Emmachian's not that 288 00:11:58,120 --> 00:12:00,440 Speaker 2: far off, especially if you just blindly look at the numbers. 289 00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:04,360 Speaker 2: He had an expected three eer, a thirty point six 290 00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:08,120 Speaker 2: percent k percentage, an under eight walk percentage. Those are 291 00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:11,319 Speaker 2: phenomenal numbers. And he's got a really great three pitch 292 00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:13,480 Speaker 2: mix that he's going to roll with. His fastball is great, 293 00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:15,679 Speaker 2: his slider had a forty three percent with rate, and 294 00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:17,520 Speaker 2: he's going to be locked in for this season. I 295 00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:19,480 Speaker 2: don't think he's coming out. I think we are going 296 00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:21,520 Speaker 2: to get now, you know, projected innings or a whole 297 00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:23,800 Speaker 2: other game. He has not had a or one hundred 298 00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:25,719 Speaker 2: over the last two years at the majors their last 299 00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:29,000 Speaker 2: two seasons played, so they could want him to only 300 00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:31,040 Speaker 2: be one forty, but it's a six man rotation. All 301 00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:34,160 Speaker 2: that said that, like, he has got top twenty five 302 00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:36,480 Speaker 2: upside as an sp and he's going outside the top 303 00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:40,679 Speaker 2: one twenty five. So I really like Immachihan, and he's 304 00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:42,920 Speaker 2: kind of been on every single one of my teams, 305 00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:45,600 Speaker 2: and I think, you know, you can't trust on health, 306 00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:47,920 Speaker 2: especially for a Dodgers pitcher. But it's like him and 307 00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:50,200 Speaker 2: Yamamoto are the two guys I have a lot more 308 00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:52,839 Speaker 2: faith in than really the other two. The other one 309 00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:55,280 Speaker 2: is an injured player and he won't be playing in 310 00:12:55,320 --> 00:12:59,280 Speaker 2: the state of California for too long. And it's Lawrence Butler. Now, 311 00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:03,800 Speaker 2: Lawrence Butler is currently slow pacing spring. He's been on 312 00:13:03,840 --> 00:13:06,120 Speaker 2: the backfield. I think he might have traveled done the 313 00:13:06,160 --> 00:13:09,520 Speaker 2: Las Vegas thing, but he's not been in games. He's 314 00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:13,400 Speaker 2: they're slowly getting him set here. But the thing is 315 00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:15,440 Speaker 2: when we're talking about top one twenty five guys that 316 00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:18,280 Speaker 2: could be inside or outside the top one twenty five 317 00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:20,640 Speaker 2: that can be inside the top seventy five. In a 318 00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:24,080 Speaker 2: poorish run last season, he was a twenty twenty guy, 319 00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:27,959 Speaker 2: twenty one homers, twenty two stolen bases. He's altered and 320 00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:30,120 Speaker 2: as he's been kind of doing, kind of tweaking some 321 00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:32,240 Speaker 2: things with his swing. Last year, I think he got 322 00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:35,080 Speaker 2: more aggressive. His strikeout rate went up like five percent. 323 00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:37,880 Speaker 2: He lost some ability to barrel and get the ball 324 00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:40,320 Speaker 2: in the air, and he's looking to rectify that this 325 00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:43,199 Speaker 2: year with some of these swing changes. So he's definitely 326 00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:45,280 Speaker 2: got to get his own contact up if he does. 327 00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:48,360 Speaker 2: Though a two thirty hitter able to go twenty twenty, 328 00:13:48,520 --> 00:13:50,880 Speaker 2: he has got the wherewithal to be a thirty thirty 329 00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:52,640 Speaker 2: hitter if he were to be like, you know, in 330 00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:56,559 Speaker 2: the two sixties. So I personally think that Lawrence Butler 331 00:13:56,679 --> 00:13:58,480 Speaker 2: is kind of an easy bet for a player that 332 00:13:58,520 --> 00:14:02,920 Speaker 2: can be inside the top you know, seventy five. Pretty easy, 333 00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:04,640 Speaker 2: even though there's a little bit of inherent risk. 334 00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:07,480 Speaker 1: I didn't have a theme for my first grouping, and 335 00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:09,199 Speaker 1: now I feel like I've been bullied into it because 336 00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:10,079 Speaker 1: you guys have had themes for it. 337 00:14:10,280 --> 00:14:11,560 Speaker 2: Find your theme grouping over here. 338 00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:13,560 Speaker 1: So I found a theme for my two guys. I 339 00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:14,600 Speaker 1: kind of strung it together. 340 00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:15,959 Speaker 3: My theme is. 341 00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:21,160 Speaker 1: Once promising youngsters that we left for dead, but twenty 342 00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:24,640 Speaker 1: twenty five they came back with a vengeance and are 343 00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:27,200 Speaker 1: looking like good investments in twenty twenty six. Those are 344 00:14:27,240 --> 00:14:30,160 Speaker 1: my two guys. So the first is noelve Marte of 345 00:14:30,160 --> 00:14:34,000 Speaker 1: the Cincinnati Red It's a PD suspension, some disappointing times there, 346 00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:36,920 Speaker 1: but people forget he's only twenty four years old. Last 347 00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:39,360 Speaker 1: year in ninety games, fourteen homers, ten steals, he had 348 00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:42,760 Speaker 1: two sixty three. I'm not trying to extrapolate because I 349 00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:45,240 Speaker 1: know it's a dangerous game, but I think nouelve Marte 350 00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:48,160 Speaker 1: has at least twenty to twenty five home run upside, 351 00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:50,560 Speaker 1: at least fifteen stone bases in him, and if he 352 00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:53,040 Speaker 1: can maintain that two sixty three batting average, that would 353 00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:55,800 Speaker 1: be absolutely fantastic. And Louelvie Marte is also going to 354 00:14:55,800 --> 00:14:58,240 Speaker 1: give you some position flexibility between the outfield and third base, 355 00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:01,160 Speaker 1: which is also a huge value. If he can carve 356 00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:04,160 Speaker 1: out I know it's difficult, there's a lot of bodies 357 00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:06,680 Speaker 1: in Cincinnati. But if you can carve out time every 358 00:15:06,680 --> 00:15:09,760 Speaker 1: single day somewhere between DH, third base, outfit, wherever it 359 00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:11,880 Speaker 1: might be, I think Mofa Marte is gonna have a 360 00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:14,760 Speaker 1: huge season, and then the other guy that I don't 361 00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:16,400 Speaker 1: know what it's gonna take for people to believe in 362 00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:20,120 Speaker 1: Trevor Rodgers. But I mean, I don't know what more 363 00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:21,880 Speaker 1: he could have done last year to make you buy in. 364 00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:24,400 Speaker 1: One hundred nine innings is not a small sample size. 365 00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:27,080 Speaker 1: It's a pretty good sample size, and he was dominant. 366 00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:30,320 Speaker 1: I don't expect a sub two era. He's one eight one. 367 00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:33,120 Speaker 1: I don't expect a sub one whip. Even if he 368 00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:36,960 Speaker 1: ends up with something in the low threes. Trevor Rodgers 369 00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:38,720 Speaker 1: here is going to be a very good investment, especially 370 00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:40,960 Speaker 1: if you can maintain the strikeout rate. When you're striking 371 00:15:40,960 --> 00:15:42,880 Speaker 1: out one guy per nine innings, that's really good and 372 00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:45,200 Speaker 1: limiting the walks to just twenty nine walks in those 373 00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:48,000 Speaker 1: one hundred nine innings. He's got a good offensive behind him. 374 00:15:48,560 --> 00:15:51,240 Speaker 1: To me, Trevor Rodgers is a steal here, and I'm 375 00:15:51,280 --> 00:15:53,360 Speaker 1: gonna take advantage of the fact that people just don't 376 00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:55,160 Speaker 1: seem to want to buy in on him, but I 377 00:15:55,160 --> 00:15:57,080 Speaker 1: don't know why. He's twenty eight years old, he's entering 378 00:15:57,080 --> 00:15:59,600 Speaker 1: his prime years. Lefties sometimes take a little bit longer 379 00:15:59,800 --> 00:16:02,760 Speaker 1: to figure things out in terms of their mechanics, and 380 00:16:02,800 --> 00:16:05,120 Speaker 1: it looks like Trevor Rodgers has finally figured that out. 381 00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:07,440 Speaker 1: All Right, we're gonna get to some late round lottery 382 00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:10,160 Speaker 1: tickets here in just a moment.

You want to cash in 396 00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:53,200 Speaker 1: on two guys here outside the top two hundred that 397 00:16:53,320 --> 00:16:55,560 Speaker 1: you are taking everywhere you can get, maybe even a 398 00:16:55,640 --> 00:16:57,680 Speaker 1: round or two early because you want them so damn bad. 399 00:16:57,920 --> 00:16:59,520 Speaker 4: Yeah, these are two guys that I have mentioned here 400 00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:01,440 Speaker 4: on the channel. But we are in crunch time. This 401 00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:04,439 Speaker 4: is the time to plant your flags, and I definitely 402 00:17:04,440 --> 00:17:06,840 Speaker 4: have my flag planted on Max Mounsey this season, which 403 00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:08,639 Speaker 4: pains me as a Blue Jay fan seeing what the 404 00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:09,960 Speaker 4: Dodgers did to me. But I love a lot of 405 00:17:09,960 --> 00:17:12,840 Speaker 4: Dodgers this year. Dodgers are good for fantasy and Max Munsey. 406 00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:15,360 Speaker 4: The big thing for me is the corrected vision. Right 407 00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:17,320 Speaker 4: on April thirtieth, he starts wearing glasses. 408 00:17:17,400 --> 00:17:17,840 Speaker 3: After that. 409 00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:19,800 Speaker 4: He has a nine to seventy oh ps, a one 410 00:17:19,840 --> 00:17:23,000 Speaker 4: to sixty six WRC, plus nineteen homers. He walks more 411 00:17:23,040 --> 00:17:25,719 Speaker 4: than he strikes out fifteen percent barrel rate, and he's 412 00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:28,000 Speaker 4: hitting in the best lineup in baseball at a terrible, 413 00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:30,560 Speaker 4: terrible third base position. I think third base is the 414 00:17:30,560 --> 00:17:33,560 Speaker 4: worst position of the year. Second stinks, But there are 415 00:17:33,640 --> 00:17:36,280 Speaker 4: late second base options that I like third base outside 416 00:17:36,280 --> 00:17:38,440 Speaker 4: of one or two guys, including Munsey, it gets dark 417 00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:40,720 Speaker 4: really quickly. So I've been taking him a lot in 418 00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:42,800 Speaker 4: the early two hundred, sometimes even falls to the mid 419 00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:45,119 Speaker 4: two hundreds of your drafts. And at that point, if 420 00:17:45,119 --> 00:17:47,560 Speaker 4: he doesn't work out easy drop but also very easy 421 00:17:47,560 --> 00:17:49,760 Speaker 4: thirty home run upside in that lineup, and then at 422 00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:51,600 Speaker 4: at least Garcia, guy that we've talked about a little 423 00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:54,200 Speaker 4: bit as well. Projections love him even if you look 424 00:17:54,200 --> 00:17:57,600 Speaker 4: at the conservative projections, twenty two home runs, ten steals 425 00:17:57,640 --> 00:17:59,560 Speaker 4: with a two forty ish batting average, and if you 426 00:17:59,560 --> 00:18:01,639 Speaker 4: want to look on the more liberal side of it, 427 00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:04,159 Speaker 4: twenty eight home runs, fourteen stolen bases, a two to 428 00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:07,080 Speaker 4: fifty batting average in a really good lineup, you know 429 00:18:07,119 --> 00:18:10,040 Speaker 4: the Phillies will prioritize that corner outfield defense, and atta 430 00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:12,560 Speaker 4: least Garcia is a really good defensive player. I think 431 00:18:12,560 --> 00:18:15,240 Speaker 4: we will get another six hundred plus played appearances following 432 00:18:15,359 --> 00:18:17,760 Speaker 4: a sub six hundred season in twenty twenty five, and 433 00:18:17,800 --> 00:18:20,280 Speaker 4: we could very easily see him return to that twenty 434 00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:22,879 Speaker 4: twenty four type of form, even twenty twenty three maybe 435 00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:24,879 Speaker 4: where he hit thirty nine home runs. I'm not expecting 436 00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:27,520 Speaker 4: thirty nine, but if atalist Garcia hits thirty home runs, 437 00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:30,000 Speaker 4: steal fifteen bases in that lineup. I don't think anybody's 438 00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:31,760 Speaker 4: gonna be surprised by it. The upside is real and 439 00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:33,560 Speaker 4: the price is non existent this year. 440 00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:36,320 Speaker 1: All right, So two big bats for Jill a Rico 441 00:18:36,359 --> 00:18:39,360 Speaker 1: outside the top two hundred, Well show about for you 442 00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:41,560 Speaker 1: two guys outside the top two hundred. One of these 443 00:18:41,560 --> 00:18:43,879 Speaker 1: guys one of my favorites from last year, didn't go well. 444 00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:46,920 Speaker 1: But like you, I'm buying back in at Jack hag Leo. 445 00:18:47,240 --> 00:18:49,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, kag I mean Keax is a pretty popular kind 446 00:18:49,440 --> 00:18:51,960 Speaker 2: of sleeper name that's out there in the aggregate ADP 447 00:18:52,080 --> 00:18:54,280 Speaker 2: you can find on Fantasy pros where you know it's 448 00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:55,960 Speaker 2: going to take all the sites and it's going to 449 00:18:55,960 --> 00:18:58,400 Speaker 2: average out with the ADP. Looks like he's still going 450 00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:00,359 Speaker 2: outside the top two hundred as much as people are 451 00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:04,399 Speaker 2: liking him, And I think, like we've talked about this, 452 00:19:04,560 --> 00:19:06,720 Speaker 2: like whatever, and it was four or five months ago 453 00:19:06,800 --> 00:19:08,840 Speaker 2: at this point, but it's like the season as a 454 00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:12,000 Speaker 2: whole last year was you just have to clear it 455 00:19:12,040 --> 00:19:15,000 Speaker 2: from your mind. He hit one fifty seven, it was atrocious. 456 00:19:15,359 --> 00:19:18,399 Speaker 2: Most of the metrics were pretty bad, if we're being honest, 457 00:19:18,440 --> 00:19:20,840 Speaker 2: but the things that we kept holding on to was 458 00:19:21,080 --> 00:19:24,640 Speaker 2: he had an elite barrel, absolute elite bat speed, and 459 00:19:24,880 --> 00:19:27,240 Speaker 2: you know, as far as the hard hit goes, he's 460 00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:29,720 Speaker 2: one of the most powerful guys in all of baseball. 461 00:19:29,800 --> 00:19:32,000 Speaker 2: So it's carried over to spring training. I think he's 462 00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:34,560 Speaker 2: hitting like four hundred in spring training. We saw the 463 00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:37,000 Speaker 2: one twenty off the bat, one of the hardest hit balls, 464 00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:39,199 Speaker 2: and like the stat cast era he's putting up in 465 00:19:39,240 --> 00:19:41,800 Speaker 2: spring training, and I think that level of comfortability is 466 00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:44,119 Speaker 2: going to carry over. I have felt very comfortable as 467 00:19:44,160 --> 00:19:46,920 Speaker 2: well that he in that debut. He also lowered a 468 00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:48,960 Speaker 2: strikeout rate that was a big problem early on, and 469 00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:51,439 Speaker 2: he was like twenty two percent strikeout rate. So you know, 470 00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:53,879 Speaker 2: if he just makes some of those concerted changes, he 471 00:19:53,960 --> 00:19:56,560 Speaker 2: has got the underlying stuff to be a thirty plus 472 00:19:56,600 --> 00:19:59,480 Speaker 2: home run hitter, like breakout Central. I think a lot 473 00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:01,760 Speaker 2: of people bel even this. I absolutely am, and I'm 474 00:20:01,840 --> 00:20:02,920 Speaker 2: taking him in every single leak. 475 00:20:03,320 --> 00:20:04,879 Speaker 1: One of those things too that I like we always 476 00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:06,720 Speaker 1: say like spring doesn't mean anything, except for the guys 477 00:20:06,760 --> 00:20:09,320 Speaker 1: it means everything too, Like Caglion is one of the 478 00:20:09,359 --> 00:20:12,440 Speaker 1: guys where it means something. He's got five walks, three strikeouts, 479 00:20:12,600 --> 00:20:14,479 Speaker 1: like the fact that he's having good at bats, he's 480 00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:15,080 Speaker 1: seeing the ball. 481 00:20:15,119 --> 00:20:15,399 Speaker 3: Well. 482 00:20:15,760 --> 00:20:17,520 Speaker 1: I know it's only spring. I know you're getting different 483 00:20:17,560 --> 00:20:20,040 Speaker 1: pitchers that aren't necessarily major LYE caliber, But to me, 484 00:20:20,119 --> 00:20:22,119 Speaker 1: that's important because that means he's confident the plate and 485 00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:24,760 Speaker 1: he's he's disciplined enough where he's taking his walks and 486 00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:27,359 Speaker 1: he's not trying to just swing at everything there and 487 00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:30,400 Speaker 1: he's making obviously some pretty hard contact when he does well. 488 00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:32,800 Speaker 2: And a guy that has one of the fastest bats 489 00:20:32,800 --> 00:20:35,520 Speaker 2: in baseball. He registered like a seventy seven mile per 490 00:20:35,560 --> 00:20:39,119 Speaker 2: hour bat speed. Like bat speed is supposed to be 491 00:20:39,200 --> 00:20:41,399 Speaker 2: able to also help you with that catch up, like 492 00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:44,480 Speaker 2: you know, you can play back on balls, you can 493 00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:46,360 Speaker 2: you know, if you have a good if you've got 494 00:20:46,359 --> 00:20:49,280 Speaker 2: good vision, that bat speed is going to help protect you. 495 00:20:49,800 --> 00:20:51,840 Speaker 2: And that's what I think we're starting to see just 496 00:20:51,880 --> 00:20:54,520 Speaker 2: super young player that got vaulted in new position. I mean, 497 00:20:54,560 --> 00:20:57,560 Speaker 2: guy who's pitching three years ago, you know, so like 498 00:20:57,640 --> 00:20:59,960 Speaker 2: you give some benefit of the doubt for growth here 499 00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:02,600 Speaker 2: that you can throw out a year hitting one fifty 500 00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:06,280 Speaker 2: seven and that a huge breakout is imminent. So he's 501 00:21:06,320 --> 00:21:09,520 Speaker 2: still going outside the top two hundred and frankly, when 502 00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:11,480 Speaker 2: a lot of those prospects are going, there's such a 503 00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:15,320 Speaker 2: prospect fatigue. You know, Connor Griffin is very exciting. He's 504 00:21:15,359 --> 00:21:17,560 Speaker 2: gonna you know, he's one of the best prospects we've 505 00:21:17,560 --> 00:21:20,440 Speaker 2: seen in years and years. But like there are spots 506 00:21:20,520 --> 00:21:22,200 Speaker 2: I have been in drafts, I think it happened in 507 00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:25,520 Speaker 2: TGFBI where Connor Griffin went before Jack kg Leon and 508 00:21:25,560 --> 00:21:28,359 Speaker 2: it's like CAGs is guaranteed right now. So you know, 509 00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:31,119 Speaker 2: the prospect fatigue, even though he's not a prospect anymore 510 00:21:31,160 --> 00:21:33,440 Speaker 2: for CAGs is very real and he is just like 511 00:21:33,520 --> 00:21:35,240 Speaker 2: a must have player late. You got to take your 512 00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:37,080 Speaker 2: shots now. The other guy is a player that I've 513 00:21:37,080 --> 00:21:40,000 Speaker 2: been talking a ton about all off season. He's on 514 00:21:40,200 --> 00:21:42,080 Speaker 2: every single one of my teams because you can get 515 00:21:42,119 --> 00:21:44,399 Speaker 2: him outside the top two hundred, and it's Shane Boz. 516 00:21:44,800 --> 00:21:47,720 Speaker 2: Shane Boz had a kind of nasty four eight seven 517 00:21:47,800 --> 00:21:51,000 Speaker 2: ERA last year, but he got some significant innings. The 518 00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:53,159 Speaker 2: biggest and most important thing is he is now with 519 00:21:53,280 --> 00:21:57,800 Speaker 2: Baltimore and the pitching environment is better for him, and 520 00:21:57,880 --> 00:22:01,000 Speaker 2: he showed the splits of being a minor league ballpark 521 00:22:01,119 --> 00:22:05,480 Speaker 2: were critical. He had an over five v at home 522 00:22:05,560 --> 00:22:06,800 Speaker 2: and he had a I think it was like a 523 00:22:06,840 --> 00:22:09,240 Speaker 2: three to eight or a three six six era at 524 00:22:09,280 --> 00:22:11,680 Speaker 2: home or on the road when he was away from 525 00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:14,760 Speaker 2: that minor league ballpark. So you now put Shane Bose 526 00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:18,119 Speaker 2: in a better environment, a lot of run support. I 527 00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:20,720 Speaker 2: like defensively what he's got. His stuff looks great. His 528 00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:24,720 Speaker 2: fastball was averaging almost two miles per hour. It was 529 00:22:24,760 --> 00:22:27,000 Speaker 2: close to two miles per hour more than the previous 530 00:22:27,080 --> 00:22:31,640 Speaker 2: year twenty six. Outside of his fastball twenty six fifth 531 00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:35,040 Speaker 2: percentage across all four of his major pitches that he uses. 532 00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:37,359 Speaker 2: I think he is in line to be a really 533 00:22:37,359 --> 00:22:39,520 Speaker 2: solid pitcher this year. I think he's got top thirty 534 00:22:39,600 --> 00:22:42,560 Speaker 2: sp upside and he's going well outside the top two hundred. 535 00:22:42,680 --> 00:22:44,439 Speaker 2: So change of environment is going to be huge for 536 00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:47,840 Speaker 2: Shane Boz. Absolutely no correlation or theme to these two 537 00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:50,439 Speaker 2: guys except they are two players that will be on 538 00:22:50,480 --> 00:22:51,320 Speaker 2: all Welsh teams. 539 00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:55,080 Speaker 1: Well, I feel like a Ricos is Ricos did you 540 00:22:55,080 --> 00:22:56,600 Speaker 1: have a theme for years? I feel like it was 541 00:22:56,680 --> 00:22:59,200 Speaker 1: like older sluggers? Does that work? 542 00:22:59,400 --> 00:22:59,640 Speaker 3: Yeah? 543 00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:05,119 Speaker 4: Post thirty year old sluggers? Yeah, I guess ARP, Yeah. 544 00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:09,560 Speaker 1: ARP guys, but maybe post hype sleepers for Bos and Kaglione. 545 00:23:09,600 --> 00:23:12,399 Speaker 1: I mean, I think the patients level for Caglione was 546 00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:15,159 Speaker 1: incredibly thin. I mean he was just drafted two years ago. 547 00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:17,800 Speaker 1: Let's like pump the freaking breaks everybody, you know. But 548 00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:19,840 Speaker 1: maybe maybe that's the theme for your Welsh picks. 549 00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:20,240 Speaker 3: I don't know. 550 00:23:21,320 --> 00:23:23,520 Speaker 1: For me, I actually do have a theme for this one. 551 00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:25,600 Speaker 1: It's Rookie of the Year candidates. And I got two 552 00:23:25,640 --> 00:23:28,199 Speaker 1: good ones here, Jj Weatherholt, a guy who I do 553 00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:29,840 Speaker 1: think is going to break camp with the Cardinals, and 554 00:23:29,840 --> 00:23:32,720 Speaker 1: another one having a great spring, another one who has 555 00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:34,600 Speaker 1: nothing left to prove in the minor league as far 556 00:23:34,640 --> 00:23:37,440 Speaker 1: as I'm concerned. And Saint Louis has to turn things 557 00:23:37,480 --> 00:23:40,520 Speaker 1: over here. They have to start looking to the future 558 00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:43,600 Speaker 1: because the present is still very muddy and obviously the 559 00:23:43,680 --> 00:23:46,040 Speaker 1: last couple of years of the past was disappointing. The 560 00:23:46,040 --> 00:23:48,240 Speaker 1: Cardinals need to get younger, they need to get more athletic. 561 00:23:48,600 --> 00:23:52,600 Speaker 1: JJ takes all those boxes. He makes great contact again. 562 00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:54,439 Speaker 1: You love that he gets on bas you love that 563 00:23:54,480 --> 00:23:57,000 Speaker 1: he can steal bases. He's got enough pop there for sure. 564 00:23:57,320 --> 00:23:59,440 Speaker 1: And then Kevin McGonagall another guy too, where like Zach 565 00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:02,320 Speaker 1: mckinsry's the only thing keeping him away right now, and 566 00:24:02,359 --> 00:24:05,359 Speaker 1: that to me is not enough. I think McGonagall I 567 00:24:05,359 --> 00:24:07,679 Speaker 1: compared into Brian Giles already. That's my camp for him 568 00:24:07,720 --> 00:24:11,639 Speaker 1: in terms of players, very similar swing, left handed, power, 569 00:24:12,080 --> 00:24:15,639 Speaker 1: strong kid. Again, Brian Giles was another guy was undersized 570 00:24:15,680 --> 00:24:17,000 Speaker 1: for the Pirates. He was not as big as you 571 00:24:17,080 --> 00:24:19,080 Speaker 1: might think he is. He was strong, but he was 572 00:24:19,119 --> 00:24:21,720 Speaker 1: not a tall guy necessarily. McGonagall is not either, So 573 00:24:21,760 --> 00:24:24,040 Speaker 1: I think sometimes some people like, wow, he's a smaller player. 574 00:24:25,080 --> 00:24:26,920 Speaker 1: I don't think there's anything left for him to learn either. 575 00:24:27,280 --> 00:24:29,280 Speaker 1: I know there were some people in some camps said 576 00:24:29,359 --> 00:24:31,040 Speaker 1: let him start a triple A. Even if both of 577 00:24:31,080 --> 00:24:33,800 Speaker 1: these guys end up starting a triple A, I still 578 00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:36,800 Speaker 1: think by year's end we will value them much more 579 00:24:37,080 --> 00:24:40,439 Speaker 1: closer to inside the top one fifty players overall than 580 00:24:40,480 --> 00:24:43,120 Speaker 1: the two hundred post, which is where they're going currently. 581 00:24:43,359 --> 00:24:46,240 Speaker 1: So for me, McGonagall weatherhol two rookies that I want 582 00:24:46,280 --> 00:24:49,280 Speaker 1: to be aggressive on, but most importantly patient because Jack 583 00:24:49,359 --> 00:24:52,680 Speaker 1: kegleone taught us last year, right, Sometimes you gotta be patient. 584 00:24:52,720 --> 00:24:55,200 Speaker 1: Sometimes it's not going to work out, sometimes it will. 585 00:24:55,400 --> 00:24:57,760 Speaker 1: CAGs is a different profile, more of a straight up 586 00:24:57,760 --> 00:25:01,199 Speaker 1: slugger type guy, whereas mcgonagh and especially weather holt Our 587 00:25:01,200 --> 00:25:03,240 Speaker 1: guys are gonna put the ball in play more. I 588 00:25:03,240 --> 00:25:05,760 Speaker 1: think hit for pretty decent batting averages as well and 589 00:25:05,840 --> 00:25:08,760 Speaker 1: get you on base as well. So again, Skuy's a limit. 590 00:25:08,880 --> 00:25:11,400 Speaker 1: It's a great rookie class this year, so many great 591 00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:13,560 Speaker 1: rookies in the American League and the National leagual Like, 592 00:25:13,760 --> 00:25:15,760 Speaker 1: all right, we're gonna get to some debates here on 593 00:25:15,800 --> 00:25:18,159 Speaker 1: the program in just a moment.

Two 620 00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:29,959 Speaker 1: polarizing players one Welsh loves Za, Rico hats and then 621 00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:32,720 Speaker 1: vice versa. First let's start with a Welsh guy that 622 00:26:32,840 --> 00:26:36,280 Speaker 1: Joe rico issaur On. Let's debate Kyle Stowers, and then 623 00:26:36,320 --> 00:26:39,200 Speaker 1: we'll flip the script around. So first give the pros 624 00:26:39,760 --> 00:26:42,200 Speaker 1: Welsh for Kyle Stowers, who had a breakout twenty twenty 625 00:26:42,200 --> 00:26:42,720 Speaker 1: five season. 626 00:26:43,200 --> 00:26:45,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, the twenty eight year old hit twenty five homers 627 00:26:45,960 --> 00:26:49,520 Speaker 2: two eighty eight with an almost three seventy OBP in 628 00:26:50,280 --> 00:26:52,199 Speaker 2: three hundred and ninety nine at bats. That was that 629 00:26:52,240 --> 00:26:54,680 Speaker 2: wasn't even four hundred at bats, stole a few bases 630 00:26:55,040 --> 00:26:58,199 Speaker 2: over nine hundred ops. Has a If you want to 631 00:26:58,200 --> 00:27:01,760 Speaker 2: look at baseball savant and play game, it's red as 632 00:27:01,800 --> 00:27:04,639 Speaker 2: can be. It's a beautiful profile outside of some whiff 633 00:27:04,640 --> 00:27:06,760 Speaker 2: and chase issues which you don't want to be dismissive of. 634 00:27:07,359 --> 00:27:09,160 Speaker 2: I mean, it looks more like Ben Rice, and we're 635 00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:12,560 Speaker 2: falling over ourselves for Ben Rice this year. Expected slug 636 00:27:12,760 --> 00:27:15,439 Speaker 2: this past season top five percentile of the league. His 637 00:27:15,720 --> 00:27:19,840 Speaker 2: nineteen percent barrel rate was top two percentile of the league. 638 00:27:19,920 --> 00:27:23,120 Speaker 2: His heart hit rate at fifty two percent top six percentile. 639 00:27:23,280 --> 00:27:25,440 Speaker 2: I mean, across the board, you're looking at a guy 640 00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:27,600 Speaker 2: that was like on as far as hitting metrics go, 641 00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:31,440 Speaker 2: top ten percentile, plus he walked ten percent of the time, 642 00:27:31,920 --> 00:27:35,080 Speaker 2: and having the season cut short how it was. I 643 00:27:35,119 --> 00:27:38,840 Speaker 2: think the strikeout rate raises some questions for some people. 644 00:27:38,840 --> 00:27:41,119 Speaker 2: The whiff and chase rate raise some questions of like 645 00:27:41,160 --> 00:27:44,639 Speaker 2: what level of repeatability is there? But also like, I 646 00:27:45,080 --> 00:27:45,880 Speaker 2: don't think. 647 00:27:45,720 --> 00:27:46,399 Speaker 3: He's far off. 648 00:27:46,440 --> 00:27:48,920 Speaker 2: I mean, if you just extrapolate, he was an over 649 00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:51,399 Speaker 2: thirty home run hitter. That's hitting in the prime spot 650 00:27:51,440 --> 00:27:54,120 Speaker 2: for the Marlins lineup. So if you just don't believe 651 00:27:54,240 --> 00:27:56,159 Speaker 2: that this is real, and I think again, there are 652 00:27:56,240 --> 00:27:58,919 Speaker 2: some small cases in his profile that could be that, 653 00:27:59,600 --> 00:28:01,679 Speaker 2: but I think think this was the breakout campaign, and 654 00:28:01,720 --> 00:28:04,760 Speaker 2: I think this is a high end. The barrel rate 655 00:28:04,800 --> 00:28:08,639 Speaker 2: alone is the thing that makes me go sustainability because 656 00:28:08,640 --> 00:28:10,600 Speaker 2: if he's barreling the ball like he does, he hits 657 00:28:10,640 --> 00:28:13,479 Speaker 2: the ball how hard he does, good things are going 658 00:28:13,520 --> 00:28:13,840 Speaker 2: to happen. 659 00:28:13,880 --> 00:28:14,000 Speaker 1: Now. 660 00:28:14,040 --> 00:28:16,400 Speaker 2: Is he going to be a two eighty two ninety hitter, No, 661 00:28:16,480 --> 00:28:19,720 Speaker 2: But if he's a two sixty hitter and he's putting 662 00:28:19,760 --> 00:28:23,200 Speaker 2: up thirty plus homers, which looks absolutely reasonable, he's probably 663 00:28:23,240 --> 00:28:25,840 Speaker 2: going to step into like a ninety ninety season. So 664 00:28:26,359 --> 00:28:29,560 Speaker 2: I'm a big buyer on Kyle Stowers. His cost is 665 00:28:29,680 --> 00:28:32,280 Speaker 2: like I think sometimes outside the top one hundred. I 666 00:28:32,600 --> 00:28:35,000 Speaker 2: don't think it's like super detrimental, but I think his 667 00:28:35,119 --> 00:28:39,920 Speaker 2: hitting profile is pretty underrated, even with some players that 668 00:28:40,160 --> 00:28:42,120 Speaker 2: you know can put up some similar stats. So I'm 669 00:28:42,160 --> 00:28:44,400 Speaker 2: just a really big fan of Kyle Stowers in that profile, 670 00:28:44,400 --> 00:28:46,479 Speaker 2: and I think it is going to continue at a 671 00:28:46,520 --> 00:28:47,840 Speaker 2: decent rate for this season. 672 00:28:49,080 --> 00:28:52,560 Speaker 1: Joe Urrico, you have the floor take apart the Kyle 673 00:28:52,640 --> 00:28:53,680 Speaker 1: Stowers argument. 674 00:28:54,280 --> 00:28:56,840 Speaker 3: So here's where I come out on Stours. 675 00:28:56,880 --> 00:28:58,920 Speaker 4: I think that he's this year's Michael Taglia, and I 676 00:28:58,960 --> 00:29:01,160 Speaker 4: know that's not what anybody want to hear who is on. 677 00:29:01,120 --> 00:29:03,520 Speaker 1: The whole role, especially Welsh, because Welsh it was a 678 00:29:03,520 --> 00:29:03,920 Speaker 1: big time. 679 00:29:04,760 --> 00:29:06,520 Speaker 3: Yeah, that burns. 680 00:29:06,560 --> 00:29:08,160 Speaker 1: That was like a paper cut when Lemon juice in 681 00:29:08,200 --> 00:29:08,880 Speaker 1: it for a second there. 682 00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:11,080 Speaker 3: I So here's where it comes down to. 683 00:29:11,280 --> 00:29:14,600 Speaker 4: The barrel rate, the hard hit rates, the contact rates, 684 00:29:14,600 --> 00:29:17,160 Speaker 4: the swinging strike percentages. They're all pretty much in line 685 00:29:17,160 --> 00:29:19,720 Speaker 4: with what Taglia did the year prior. Stowers had a 686 00:29:19,760 --> 00:29:23,200 Speaker 4: slightly better barrel rate nineteen compared to seventeen point two, 687 00:29:23,680 --> 00:29:25,520 Speaker 4: but his contact rate was a little bit worse in 688 00:29:25,560 --> 00:29:29,240 Speaker 4: the zone. Michael Toaglia eighty one percent Kyle Stowers seventy 689 00:29:29,280 --> 00:29:29,720 Speaker 4: eight percent. 690 00:29:29,760 --> 00:29:31,160 Speaker 3: Stowers also swings and miss. 691 00:29:31,200 --> 00:29:33,760 Speaker 4: A little bit more than Toglia does, and he doesn't 692 00:29:33,760 --> 00:29:36,080 Speaker 4: have the benefit of cores, which worries me as well. Now, 693 00:29:36,080 --> 00:29:39,600 Speaker 4: the nineteen percent barrel rate is just phenomenal, like, that's 694 00:29:39,600 --> 00:29:41,720 Speaker 4: a very rare number to hit, but I would argue 695 00:29:41,760 --> 00:29:44,200 Speaker 4: that makes it pretty unlikely that he's gonna hit it again. 696 00:29:44,600 --> 00:29:46,600 Speaker 4: If you look at the guys since twenty twenty who 697 00:29:46,640 --> 00:29:49,080 Speaker 4: have given you a nineteen plus percent barrel rate in 698 00:29:49,120 --> 00:29:51,800 Speaker 4: the season and even lowering the threshold to four hundred 699 00:29:51,800 --> 00:29:56,440 Speaker 4: plate appearances. Last year it was Judge Otani, Schwarber, Cal Rawley. Okay, 700 00:29:56,960 --> 00:29:59,400 Speaker 4: those names all make sense. The year prior it was 701 00:29:59,480 --> 00:30:03,479 Speaker 4: Judge Tawny, Giancarlo Stanton, and Juan Soto. The year prior 702 00:30:03,520 --> 00:30:06,800 Speaker 4: it was Judge Otani, Jordan Alvarez, and going one year 703 00:30:06,800 --> 00:30:09,960 Speaker 4: prior to twenty twenty two, it's Judge, it's Alvarez, it's Schwarber, 704 00:30:10,240 --> 00:30:13,440 Speaker 4: and it's Mike Trout. So it tends to be really 705 00:30:13,480 --> 00:30:16,600 Speaker 4: really elite players that live in that nineteen percent barrel range. 706 00:30:16,640 --> 00:30:19,560 Speaker 4: I think he can probably maintain like a fourteen or fifteen, 707 00:30:19,600 --> 00:30:20,960 Speaker 4: but that means that we are going to see a 708 00:30:20,960 --> 00:30:22,480 Speaker 4: little bit of a drop off at home runs. As 709 00:30:22,480 --> 00:30:24,360 Speaker 4: far as I'm projecting, I don't think that we're going 710 00:30:24,440 --> 00:30:27,560 Speaker 4: to see forty plus home runs given that barrel rate 711 00:30:27,600 --> 00:30:29,880 Speaker 4: where it was, I just don't think it's really sustainable. 712 00:30:29,880 --> 00:30:31,880 Speaker 4: And if you look at guys over the last ten 713 00:30:31,960 --> 00:30:34,280 Speaker 4: years who do have a barrel rate that's a fifteen 714 00:30:34,320 --> 00:30:37,480 Speaker 4: percent or higher, Stowers is in the ninety fifth percentile 715 00:30:37,560 --> 00:30:40,520 Speaker 4: for swing percentage and for zone swing percentage. The guys 716 00:30:40,560 --> 00:30:43,160 Speaker 4: who he is comped with in that range are Luis Robert, 717 00:30:43,160 --> 00:30:45,840 Speaker 4: Bryce Harper, Salprez, Jake Berger. There's some good and some 718 00:30:45,880 --> 00:30:48,040 Speaker 4: bad in there, but all those guys following that big 719 00:30:48,040 --> 00:30:51,040 Speaker 4: barrel rate year did drop four or five points the 720 00:30:51,120 --> 00:30:54,200 Speaker 4: following season. The last point is the batting average. He 721 00:30:54,240 --> 00:30:55,720 Speaker 4: hit two eighty eight last year, but I think it's 722 00:30:55,760 --> 00:30:58,440 Speaker 4: really driven by the three fifty six babbot. I see 723 00:30:58,480 --> 00:31:01,040 Speaker 4: him as more of a two forty type hitter, and 724 00:31:01,080 --> 00:31:02,560 Speaker 4: when you put it all together, I think that he 725 00:31:02,560 --> 00:31:04,600 Speaker 4: can still be a decent player. But I think you 726 00:31:04,640 --> 00:31:06,960 Speaker 4: can replicate what he gives you throughout the draft. I 727 00:31:06,960 --> 00:31:08,880 Speaker 4: think you can find the twenty five home runs with 728 00:31:08,920 --> 00:31:11,520 Speaker 4: the kind of a middling type of batting average and 729 00:31:11,560 --> 00:31:13,320 Speaker 4: a decent lineup. The comp that I made a couple 730 00:31:13,320 --> 00:31:15,880 Speaker 4: weeks ago on Twitter was Kerry Carpenter. He's pretty much 731 00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:17,880 Speaker 4: I think it'll be the similar stat lines at the 732 00:31:17,960 --> 00:31:20,760 Speaker 4: end of the season, twenty five twenty six home runs, 733 00:31:20,760 --> 00:31:23,480 Speaker 4: maybe with a two to fifty batting average, seventy some 734 00:31:23,520 --> 00:31:25,960 Speaker 4: odd runs in RBI. I just feel like his profile 735 00:31:26,080 --> 00:31:28,280 Speaker 4: something you can kind of replicate later on in the draft. 736 00:31:28,600 --> 00:31:30,480 Speaker 1: All right, so are you in on stours? Are you 737 00:31:30,560 --> 00:31:33,040 Speaker 1: out on stours? Drop your comments of the YouTube below. 738 00:31:33,320 --> 00:31:35,520 Speaker 1: I know a lot of people I like Stowers kind 739 00:31:35,520 --> 00:31:36,560 Speaker 1: of at the ADP. If I can get him in 740 00:31:36,560 --> 00:31:39,040 Speaker 1: a little bit of a discount, I'm happier just to, 741 00:31:39,200 --> 00:31:40,400 Speaker 1: you know, kind of push some of the things that 742 00:31:40,480 --> 00:31:43,040 Speaker 1: Joe Rico was a little concerned with a little bit 743 00:31:43,080 --> 00:31:45,560 Speaker 1: further down the trough. But we like hearing from you 744 00:31:45,600 --> 00:31:48,480 Speaker 1: guys in that debate. Next player again, debate is somebody 745 00:31:48,560 --> 00:31:51,200 Speaker 1: Joe Rico loves and the Welsh is not as fond of. 746 00:31:51,280 --> 00:31:53,560 Speaker 1: It's Jared Duran. Now, Jared Duran. A couple of years ago, 747 00:31:53,840 --> 00:31:55,680 Speaker 1: everybody was falling all over themselves to get a hold 748 00:31:55,720 --> 00:31:57,440 Speaker 1: of this kid last year a little bit of a 749 00:31:57,480 --> 00:32:00,280 Speaker 1: down season compared to expectations. Why is twenty two twenty 750 00:32:00,320 --> 00:32:03,680 Speaker 1: six a big bounce back for Jared Durant and Boston Joe. 751 00:32:03,720 --> 00:32:05,360 Speaker 4: I think that the price had just come down a 752 00:32:05,360 --> 00:32:07,400 Speaker 4: little bit too much for Jared duran This is a 753 00:32:07,440 --> 00:32:10,560 Speaker 4: guy who in drafts last season was routinely going in 754 00:32:10,560 --> 00:32:12,560 Speaker 4: the beginning of the second round. Anywhere in the second 755 00:32:12,640 --> 00:32:15,320 Speaker 4: round you would have seen him go but top twenty 756 00:32:15,360 --> 00:32:17,160 Speaker 4: pick in a lot of rooms last year, and now, 757 00:32:17,200 --> 00:32:20,240 Speaker 4: depending on your site, between sixty and eighty as his ADP, 758 00:32:20,960 --> 00:32:22,760 Speaker 4: and I think that the hate's gone a little bit 759 00:32:22,800 --> 00:32:24,600 Speaker 4: too far. If you look at what he did last season, 760 00:32:24,640 --> 00:32:28,000 Speaker 4: eighty six runs eighty four RBI. Those are both really 761 00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:30,080 Speaker 4: strong numbers. Sixteen home runs might have been a little 762 00:32:30,080 --> 00:32:32,960 Speaker 4: bit disappointing, but coming off of a twenty one home 763 00:32:33,040 --> 00:32:34,800 Speaker 4: run season, it's not the end of the world. You 764 00:32:34,880 --> 00:32:37,400 Speaker 4: weren't expecting thirty plus and he still gave you twenty 765 00:32:37,400 --> 00:32:39,200 Speaker 4: four stolen bases. I think people will look at the 766 00:32:39,200 --> 00:32:41,360 Speaker 4: batting average as being maybe a bit of a downside, 767 00:32:41,360 --> 00:32:43,240 Speaker 4: but as a guy who in the previous two years 768 00:32:43,240 --> 00:32:44,920 Speaker 4: it hit two ninety five and two eighty five. 769 00:32:45,280 --> 00:32:47,520 Speaker 3: The two fifty six with the lower babbit does feel 770 00:32:47,520 --> 00:32:48,880 Speaker 3: like a bit of an outlier there. 771 00:32:49,080 --> 00:32:50,640 Speaker 4: He also had the best barrel rate of his career 772 00:32:50,640 --> 00:32:53,360 Speaker 4: at nine point seven percent, the best heart hit rate 773 00:32:53,440 --> 00:32:56,440 Speaker 4: at forty seven percent, and the average EGIT velocity at 774 00:32:56,520 --> 00:32:58,520 Speaker 4: ninety two was also the best of his career. I 775 00:32:58,560 --> 00:33:01,160 Speaker 4: think Jared Durant is a a lock for playing time, 776 00:33:01,200 --> 00:33:03,680 Speaker 4: of course, but people will talk about the crowded Red 777 00:33:03,720 --> 00:33:04,400 Speaker 4: Sox outfield. 778 00:33:04,440 --> 00:33:05,800 Speaker 3: Maybe he gets traded, maybe he doesn't. 779 00:33:05,800 --> 00:33:07,680 Speaker 4: But I think Jared Durant is going to play the 780 00:33:07,760 --> 00:33:09,959 Speaker 4: last two seasons one hundred and fifty seven in one 781 00:33:10,000 --> 00:33:12,160 Speaker 4: hundred and sixty games, And I think the main thing 782 00:33:12,160 --> 00:33:13,920 Speaker 4: for me is just you're getting him forty or fifty 783 00:33:13,960 --> 00:33:16,800 Speaker 4: picks later than you usually were, and nothing has fundamentally 784 00:33:16,880 --> 00:33:18,720 Speaker 4: changed in the profile. He's still on the right side 785 00:33:18,760 --> 00:33:20,640 Speaker 4: of thirty. He can still give you that power speed 786 00:33:20,720 --> 00:33:22,160 Speaker 4: mix at the top of a really good lineup. 787 00:33:24,200 --> 00:33:27,240 Speaker 1: All right, here's your chance, Welsh to take Joe Rico 788 00:33:27,280 --> 00:33:28,800 Speaker 1: down a peg on Jared duran. 789 00:33:28,800 --> 00:33:30,880 Speaker 2: Well, I think, I mean I would kind of go 790 00:33:30,920 --> 00:33:33,120 Speaker 2: back to the same argument with the Stours thing, where 791 00:33:33,160 --> 00:33:35,880 Speaker 2: it's like, don't you think you can find replaceable value 792 00:33:35,880 --> 00:33:39,840 Speaker 2: for an even more expensive player. We say that the 793 00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:42,280 Speaker 2: fundamentally not a lot has changed, but I don't think 794 00:33:42,280 --> 00:33:45,920 Speaker 2: that's a good argument. I think that without anything fundamentally changing, 795 00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:48,440 Speaker 2: he's getting a little bit slightly worse. I mean, he 796 00:33:48,520 --> 00:33:52,320 Speaker 2: can't hit lefties. The talk is that if there is 797 00:33:52,440 --> 00:33:54,840 Speaker 2: going to be any type of replacement, it's no longer 798 00:33:54,880 --> 00:33:56,720 Speaker 2: will you're a brah bray you who is kind of 799 00:33:56,720 --> 00:33:59,000 Speaker 2: the Kerry Carpenter for that team. He's the everyday player 800 00:33:59,000 --> 00:34:02,160 Speaker 2: that Jared Duran be thrown into that. Jared has also 801 00:34:02,240 --> 00:34:05,360 Speaker 2: seen a three year decrease. At least every year he 802 00:34:05,400 --> 00:34:09,280 Speaker 2: has had a slightly lower overall his own contact percentage. 803 00:34:09,400 --> 00:34:11,000 Speaker 2: I think there's some fine things in his game, but 804 00:34:11,080 --> 00:34:13,759 Speaker 2: a strikeout rate went up this past year. You never 805 00:34:13,800 --> 00:34:18,080 Speaker 2: saw any crazy development of power year over year, and 806 00:34:18,120 --> 00:34:21,840 Speaker 2: I think the trade rumors are something to like absolutely consider, 807 00:34:21,960 --> 00:34:23,920 Speaker 2: especially when they're talking about, like, you know, San Diego, 808 00:34:24,040 --> 00:34:26,640 Speaker 2: that would be another more power suppressive place if that 809 00:34:26,680 --> 00:34:29,160 Speaker 2: had ever happened. But regardless of the point is that 810 00:34:30,400 --> 00:34:33,640 Speaker 2: though nothing has changed, I don't think there's anything exceptional 811 00:34:33,680 --> 00:34:36,080 Speaker 2: in the game. And you're looking at a guy that's 812 00:34:36,120 --> 00:34:38,800 Speaker 2: going into the sixties and the seventies, and he seems 813 00:34:38,840 --> 00:34:41,680 Speaker 2: over priced. You see, it seems overpriced for a player 814 00:34:42,200 --> 00:34:46,200 Speaker 2: that has got some serious platoon based issues and has 815 00:34:46,280 --> 00:34:49,040 Speaker 2: regressed in kind of over in his overall gameplay. Now 816 00:34:49,440 --> 00:34:52,040 Speaker 2: you know, he like super talented player. I think Jackson 817 00:34:52,080 --> 00:34:54,120 Speaker 2: Merrill kind of had some of the same stuff. I 818 00:34:54,120 --> 00:34:57,160 Speaker 2: think Jackson Merril's a much safer batting average bet and 819 00:34:57,160 --> 00:35:00,200 Speaker 2: if he steals more, he will like be exceptionally better 820 00:35:00,320 --> 00:35:01,759 Speaker 2: than Jared Durant. But I feel like those two have 821 00:35:01,800 --> 00:35:04,759 Speaker 2: been falling into the same spot. Really. My my main 822 00:35:04,880 --> 00:35:07,799 Speaker 2: argument to it is I think his skill set, based 823 00:35:07,840 --> 00:35:10,120 Speaker 2: on the price, that's the one that doesn't make sense. 824 00:35:10,120 --> 00:35:12,920 Speaker 2: And I think that's kind of both me and Joe's arguments, 825 00:35:12,960 --> 00:35:16,520 Speaker 2: Like he doesn't buy that Kyle Stowers is going to 826 00:35:16,520 --> 00:35:18,160 Speaker 2: be a thirty plus homer end hitter, So if you 827 00:35:18,200 --> 00:35:21,360 Speaker 2: buy him as a two twenty five homer guy and 828 00:35:21,480 --> 00:35:24,560 Speaker 2: hitting two fifty, then his cost doesn't make sense. I 829 00:35:24,560 --> 00:35:27,240 Speaker 2: don't think Jared duran makes sense. If he's a fifteen 830 00:35:27,280 --> 00:35:30,160 Speaker 2: to twenty guy hitting two forty or two fifty and 831 00:35:30,239 --> 00:35:32,480 Speaker 2: he's potential platoon I just don't think it makes sense. 832 00:35:32,520 --> 00:35:34,920 Speaker 2: To be in the top sixties. So he's kind of 833 00:35:34,960 --> 00:35:36,520 Speaker 2: a kind of a fade for me. I don't I 834 00:35:36,520 --> 00:35:38,080 Speaker 2: don't see any reason that I need to get him. 835 00:35:38,080 --> 00:35:40,560 Speaker 2: Guys like Michael Harris are going you have twenty or 836 00:35:40,560 --> 00:35:43,239 Speaker 2: thirty spots later, or Rose Arain is going after him, 837 00:35:43,480 --> 00:35:46,279 Speaker 2: and there's just like a bevy of more outfielders. Lawrence Butler, 838 00:35:46,320 --> 00:35:49,520 Speaker 2: who I talked about. Lawrence Butler hitting two thirty can 839 00:35:49,520 --> 00:35:51,480 Speaker 2: put up the counting stats that Jared Durant did, and 840 00:35:51,520 --> 00:35:54,319 Speaker 2: he's going sixty spots lower than Jared Durant. 841 00:35:54,360 --> 00:35:56,319 Speaker 1: So I think that two thirty batting average on too. 842 00:35:56,600 --> 00:35:59,600 Speaker 1: I'll say this, I've seen enough Jared Duran where I 843 00:35:59,640 --> 00:36:01,480 Speaker 1: think he's better than the two fifty seven. Maybe he's 844 00:36:01,480 --> 00:36:02,640 Speaker 1: not as good as the two ninety five. 845 00:36:03,320 --> 00:36:04,800 Speaker 2: His XBA was two forty eight. I just want to 846 00:36:04,800 --> 00:36:07,320 Speaker 2: point out, so fifty seven XBA was worse. 847 00:36:07,680 --> 00:36:09,880 Speaker 1: But I also think when you take a Raphael Devers 848 00:36:09,880 --> 00:36:11,680 Speaker 1: out of a lineup two, a lot of things change. 849 00:36:11,880 --> 00:36:14,440 Speaker 1: You know, they needed not I mean, Bregman is fine, 850 00:36:14,640 --> 00:36:17,880 Speaker 1: but also Bregman, you know was you know at times 851 00:36:18,239 --> 00:36:20,919 Speaker 1: the Trevor story carried the offense for a good junk 852 00:36:20,960 --> 00:36:22,680 Speaker 1: there until later in the year where things kind of 853 00:36:22,680 --> 00:36:25,480 Speaker 1: opened up a little bit for guys like Roman Anthony 854 00:36:25,239 --> 00:36:28,000 Speaker 1: with you compared Jackson Merylton too, which is interesting because 855 00:36:28,000 --> 00:36:29,640 Speaker 1: they're only going a couple picks away from each other. 856 00:36:30,239 --> 00:36:32,480 Speaker 1: I think Duran is a little safer. I agree, maybe 857 00:36:32,520 --> 00:36:35,160 Speaker 1: Meryl has more upside, But the thing is like I've 858 00:36:35,160 --> 00:36:37,800 Speaker 1: seen more Duran and I feel a little bit better about, 859 00:36:38,000 --> 00:36:40,120 Speaker 1: like kind of knowing who he is, especially with all 860 00:36:40,200 --> 00:36:43,640 Speaker 1: the Jackson Meryl hitting left handed pitching issues that he's 861 00:36:43,640 --> 00:36:46,680 Speaker 1: had last year, and it even is good year in 862 00:36:46,719 --> 00:36:49,440 Speaker 1: his big breakout rookie year.
