00:00:26,840 --> 00:00:30,480
Speaker 1: throughout the season. Mayor we have been talking about doing

7
00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:33,960
Speaker 1: a baseball show together basically since we were both hired.

8
00:00:34,040 --> 00:00:35,919
Speaker 1: How excited are you that we're finally going to get

9
00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:36,400
Speaker 1: to do one.

10
00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:38,560

00:00:41,880 --> 00:00:45,040
Speaker 1: I did see that. Congratulations, Oh thank you.

13
00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:47,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, very excited about it. There used to be like

14
00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:50,040
Speaker 2: a weekly show a while back, and then that kind

15
00:00:50,080 --> 00:00:52,320
Speaker 2: of transitioned into like Leading Off, which is awesome because

16
00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:54,600
Speaker 2: it's a daily show, but we kind of like missed

17
00:00:54,680 --> 00:00:58,160
Speaker 2: the whole, like season long look and like fantasy focused show,

18
00:00:58,320 --> 00:00:59,960
Speaker 2: and so now we're finally bringing it back.

19
00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:02,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, Leading Off is not going anywhere. You can still

20
00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:06,119
Speaker 1: hang out on YouTube every single weekday of the entire

21
00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:09,800
Speaker 1: season with Joey P and Welsh. They'll be talking bets,

22
00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:12,040
Speaker 1: they'll be talking all the news and notes, stat lines

23
00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:15,039
Speaker 1: from the night before, really everything that you've come to

24
00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:18,080
Speaker 1: know and love from leading off throughout the years that

25
00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:20,280
Speaker 1: is not going anywhere. This will be in addition to that,

26
00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:22,920
Speaker 1: giving everybody kind of a chance to step back take

27
00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:26,440
Speaker 1: a more macro level view of the season. Each week,

28
00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:29,000
Speaker 1: we will have those guys on. Chris Welsh will be

29
00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:32,080
Speaker 1: on regularly talking prospects. We will have Kelly Kirby on

30
00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:34,600
Speaker 1: to give her insights and analysis. We will have Joe

31
00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:36,880
Speaker 1: filling in at times. I am sure those guys will

32
00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:38,840
Speaker 1: be involved with this show, but it will primarily be

33
00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:43,640
Speaker 1: myself and Mayor. Like I said, released on Thursdays, So

34
00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:46,200
Speaker 1: we'll be starting next week as the season gets going.

35
00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:48,160
Speaker 1: Technically the season has already gotten going, but you know,

36
00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:50,920
Speaker 1: for real opening day next week. Some of the stuff

37
00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:52,480
Speaker 1: we'll be doing on the show, Like I said, we'll

38
00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:56,000
Speaker 1: be talking prospects with Welsh, We'll be doing some bi loos,

39
00:01:56,080 --> 00:02:01,920
Speaker 1: sell highs. We'll be talking top storylines each week, biggest news, injuries,

40
00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:04,160
Speaker 1: like I said, prospect call ups, that sort of thing.

41
00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:07,120
Speaker 1: We'll be hitting on waivers, suggestions for each you know,

42
00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:09,920
Speaker 1: going into the weekend, looking ahead to start pitchers. This

43
00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:12,920
Speaker 1: is the things we're most excited about each weekend, and

44
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:15,679
Speaker 1: we're gonna have some sort of contest bet between the

45
00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:18,360
Speaker 1: two of us that is still being determined what exactly

46
00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:21,080
Speaker 1: that will look like, but I want an opportunity to

47
00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:23,080
Speaker 1: really put Mayor in his place, so we're gonna be

48
00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:25,760
Speaker 1: doing something like that as well. Like I mentioned Mayor,

49
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:28,960
Speaker 1: this season technically has already started, of course, but this

50
00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:33,240
Speaker 1: upcoming weekend is still a major draft weekend. So we're

51
00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:35,200
Speaker 1: gonna give a preview of kind of what our show's

52
00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:36,960
Speaker 1: gonna look like and the type of advice we're gonna

53
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:40,480
Speaker 1: be giving with some last minute draft advice. Here, We're

54
00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:42,840
Speaker 1: gonna each give you, guys, two players that we are

55
00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:46,079
Speaker 1: drafting everywhere, these are our favorite targets at least at cost,

56
00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:49,000
Speaker 1: and then two players that we're avoiding and maybe not

57
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:51,959
Speaker 1: drafting so much across all of our leagues, which I

58
00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:54,320
Speaker 1: don't know about you. I only have one real draft

59
00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:58,320
Speaker 1: left most or maybe two. It's one is still being

60
00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:01,760
Speaker 1: scheduled if it's gonna happen or not, but primarily draft

61
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:03,240
Speaker 1: season is kind of done for me. What about you?

62
00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:05,000
Speaker 2: I think gone in the same boat. I think I've

63
00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:06,560
Speaker 2: been drafting for a couple months now. I think I

64
00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:09,760
Speaker 2: still have two left. One I actually thought was Sunday night,

65
00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:12,200
Speaker 2: that turns out it Saturday. So really good that I

66
00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:14,000
Speaker 2: saw that text message this morning and I didn't just

67
00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:15,959
Speaker 2: miss my draft. But yeah, I think I have two

68
00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:18,440
Speaker 2: left this weekend. So still, you know, still a decent

69
00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:19,560
Speaker 2: mom drafting left to do.

70
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:23,280
Speaker 1: I've got our big Fantasy pros work draft we have.

71
00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:25,160
Speaker 1: There's too many people that play baseball, so we split

72
00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:27,480
Speaker 1: it into two leagues. And I won it the first

73
00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:30,000
Speaker 1: year I played, and then last year I not win it,

74
00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:32,640
Speaker 1: and yeah, I had to. I have to give my

75
00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:34,760
Speaker 1: bonafides to everyone to let them know why they should

76
00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:38,640
Speaker 1: listen to me. But that draft is tomorrow for me,

77
00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:41,440
Speaker 1: and it starts right as the NCAA tournament kick you know,

78
00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:44,240
Speaker 1: tips off, So that will be super super smart timing

79
00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:46,640
Speaker 1: by me. Let's have been here. Let's start with the

80
00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:50,000
Speaker 1: players that we are drafting as much as we possibly can,

81
00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:51,040
Speaker 1: and I'll let you go first.

82
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:53,320
Speaker 2: Sure, so I'll go first. I actually had my half

83
00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:55,920
Speaker 2: of the Work League yesterday. I lost in the championship

84
00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:58,600
Speaker 2: last year, so no hurt feelings on my end, but

85
00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:01,080
Speaker 2: I actually drafted this player yesterday and it's not like

86
00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:02,680
Speaker 2: the deepest name. It's kind of a boring name to

87
00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:04,600
Speaker 2: start out with. But like like I said before, I've

88
00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:06,160
Speaker 2: been drafting for a couple months and I'm drafting this

89
00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:10,160
Speaker 2: guy everywhere, and it's because he's just devalued it to

90
00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:12,320
Speaker 2: a point where I think, you know, it's not like

91
00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:15,440
Speaker 2: you know, crazy undervalue, but like it's Xander Bogart's And

92
00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:17,880
Speaker 2: what I like about him is like I like that

93
00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:20,279
Speaker 2: he's boring. He's he's just going to give you that

94
00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:22,560
Speaker 2: like solid floor. And the bonus this year is that

95
00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:24,800
Speaker 2: he's going to add second base eligibility soon, like you know,

96
00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:27,720
Speaker 2: early in the season. And like even though last year,

97
00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:29,240
Speaker 2: like he's kind of like being pushed down because of

98
00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:31,400
Speaker 2: like what happened last year and to an extent like

99
00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:33,719
Speaker 2: the year before because he's not in Fenway Park anymore,

100
00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:36,960
Speaker 2: but he still went nineteen nineteen last year. And like,

101
00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:39,520
Speaker 2: if that's my floor for a guy, I can move

102
00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:41,680
Speaker 2: back and forth between the second base and shortstop, especially

103
00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:43,800
Speaker 2: when second base, you know, it's not like the most

104
00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:46,280
Speaker 2: shallow position this year, but it's you know, definitely shallower

105
00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:49,279
Speaker 2: than shortstop, which is pretty deep this year. I don't know,

106
00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:52,120
Speaker 2: he's just like pushed like a round or too far

107
00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:54,640
Speaker 2: or in auctions, Like you know, I think I got

108
00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:57,000
Speaker 2: him last weekend at an auction for like eleven dollars.

109
00:04:57,080 --> 00:04:59,800
Speaker 2: I'm like, that's just too cheap, and so it's not

110
00:04:59,839 --> 00:05:01,320
Speaker 2: like the most exciting name to start off with, but

111
00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:03,080
Speaker 2: like I have him everywhere for that reason.

112
00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:05,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a really it's a really interesting name because

113
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:08,159
Speaker 1: I'm not actively avoiding him, but I also don't know

114
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:10,599
Speaker 1: that I have him anywhere, and it's less about him

115
00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:13,279
Speaker 1: and more about the range that he's going in. And

116
00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:15,160
Speaker 1: I just really like a lot of the other players

117
00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:18,080
Speaker 1: there on Fantasy Pro's ADP, which you know, anybody can

118
00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:19,840
Speaker 1: go to the site and find and pull that up,

119
00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:24,080
Speaker 1: and it takes the consensus of ESPN, CBS, Yahoo, NFBC,

120
00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:27,000
Speaker 1: a bunch, you know, fan tracks are all going in there.

121
00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:30,839
Speaker 1: Xander Bogartz is ADP ninety one, ninety is Tristan Kassas,

122
00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:33,480
Speaker 1: who I do like quite a bit. Eighty eight's Justin Steele,

123
00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:36,480
Speaker 1: who I like quite a bit. Eighty nine is Juri Perez.

124
00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:38,440
Speaker 1: Obviously that hasn't quite adjusted. That was a guy I

125
00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:41,359
Speaker 1: liked prior to the injury quite a bit so you know,

126
00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:43,920
Speaker 1: Cole Ragan's is ninety four. It's it's just a lot

127
00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:47,359
Speaker 1: of guys that I'm drafting like over Bogarts, but not

128
00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:48,960
Speaker 1: because I dislike Bogarts.

129
00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:51,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I think I'm getting him later than those guys,

130
00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:53,560
Speaker 2: and especially in auctions. I think I have him in

131
00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:55,440
Speaker 2: a bunch of auctions just because he was going for

132
00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:55,960
Speaker 2: too cheap.

133
00:05:56,800 --> 00:05:57,000
Speaker 1: Yeah.

134
00:05:57,080 --> 00:05:58,360
Speaker 2: No, I like, I like a lot of the guys

135
00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:00,560
Speaker 2: that you know, Costas, I like Steele, I like. We'll

136
00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:03,880
Speaker 2: say about the other guys, but I'll I'll.

137
00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:05,320
Speaker 1: Give the first of my players here. I actually pick

138
00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:08,200
Speaker 1: two players that are going much later. I considered, I

139
00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:10,599
Speaker 1: will just say to mention him. I considered Michael Harris.

140
00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:12,960
Speaker 1: I wanted to look further down in ADP than a

141
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:15,799
Speaker 1: guy who's going in the you know, late round three range.

142
00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:18,039
Speaker 1: But just to say quickly, on Harris, I think we

143
00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:20,280
Speaker 1: could get fifty combined home runs and steals and a

144
00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:23,360
Speaker 1: three hundred batting average this season. He's still super young.

145
00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:25,520
Speaker 1: I wish he hit higher in the Braves lineup, but

146
00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:27,680
Speaker 1: outside of that, like, I have no complaints with what

147
00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:29,599
Speaker 1: we've seen from him his first two seasons. So he's

148
00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:31,560
Speaker 1: he's a guy I really quite like where he's going,

149
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:33,880
Speaker 1: but I wanted to go further down. So the first

150
00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:35,880
Speaker 1: one I have here is I'm not sure if I'm

151
00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:38,599
Speaker 1: getting the like true like like foreign pronunciation right, But

152
00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:44,240
Speaker 1: Eduard Julienne I believe is the proper Canadian French pronunciation.

153
00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:47,960
Speaker 1: His ADP's two ten. This was somebody that I liked

154
00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:50,400
Speaker 1: a lot last year in like my Dynasty League, somebody

155
00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:54,000
Speaker 1: I was trying to acquire. He was really bad against lefties.

156
00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:56,120
Speaker 1: He spent a lot of time this offseason working on

157
00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:57,919
Speaker 1: hitting lefties. He also spent a lot of time on

158
00:06:57,960 --> 00:06:59,719
Speaker 1: his defense, which I think is going to keep him

159
00:06:59,839 --> 00:07:02,880
Speaker 1: in the lineup as an everyday non platoon player like

160
00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:05,360
Speaker 1: he was last year. Rocko Baldelli has talked about how

161
00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:09,760
Speaker 1: impressed he is with Julian's defense. Great, great batting eye.

162
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:12,800
Speaker 1: His OBP was in the three eighties last year as

163
00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:15,400
Speaker 1: a rookie. I think we're gonna see more power develop

164
00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:17,440
Speaker 1: with more playing time, which again I think he should

165
00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:19,920
Speaker 1: have this year. He had an eight thirty nine OPS

166
00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:21,880
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty three. It was over a thousand in

167
00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:24,560
Speaker 1: the postseason. I just think he's a guy who who

168
00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:26,920
Speaker 1: because of the glove who because of the walks, will

169
00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:28,800
Speaker 1: just have a consistently high floor of being in the

170
00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:31,640
Speaker 1: lineup and being somewhat productive. And I think the room

171
00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:33,760
Speaker 1: is there for even more growth in terms of the

172
00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:36,320
Speaker 1: power as well. So again, this is not a guy

173
00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:38,360
Speaker 1: that's going to be an anchor of my team, but

174
00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:40,320
Speaker 1: at a position where I'm liking a lot of the

175
00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:43,760
Speaker 1: late round sleepers going after pick two hundred, He's one

176
00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:44,440
Speaker 1: of my favorites.

177
00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:46,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm a big fan of his as well, And

178
00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:48,360
Speaker 2: like you mentioned, dynasty, I have him in a bunch

179
00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:51,160
Speaker 2: of dynasty leagues and for that reason because they're obp

180
00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:53,720
Speaker 2: leagues and so like his Like you said, his batting

181
00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:57,960
Speaker 2: eye is phenomenal. He's over fifteen percent walk grate last

182
00:07:58,040 --> 00:07:59,720
Speaker 2: year and throughout the minor leagues it was like a

183
00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:02,240
Speaker 2: round twenty he did. He hasn't really stolen a lot

184
00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:03,960
Speaker 2: of bases at the miner at the major league level,

185
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:05,960
Speaker 2: but he did steal a little bit in the minor

186
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:08,320
Speaker 2: so there's still like some room for growth there, especially

187
00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:10,360
Speaker 2: you know, he only had three stolen bases in one

188
00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:13,040
Speaker 2: hundred and nine games in the majors last year, but

189
00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:15,640
Speaker 2: like in twenty twenty two, and one hundred and thirteen

190
00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:18,200
Speaker 2: games in double A stole nineteen bases, and in low A.

191
00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:20,160
Speaker 2: You know, he can't really compare loway stats, but he

192
00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:22,559
Speaker 2: stole twenty one, so he was running, so like, maybe

193
00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:24,760
Speaker 2: you can get ten stolen bases out of him. And

194
00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:28,440
Speaker 2: I do think the defense and the plate approach are

195
00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:29,840
Speaker 2: going to keep him in the lineup, and I think

196
00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:32,160
Speaker 2: he should beat fairly high highly in the lineup too.

197
00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:34,000
Speaker 1: Definitely, who's your next guy?

198
00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:36,520
Speaker 2: My next guy is a little bit further down, but

199
00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:40,880
Speaker 2: you know, not crazy far down. But Christian Xavier and

200
00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:44,360
Speaker 2: I wrote him up in an article a few weeks

201
00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:47,120
Speaker 2: ago as kind of like someone you know, like a

202
00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:48,960
Speaker 2: must have or like a by Low just because the

203
00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:51,480
Speaker 2: price has gone too far. Christian Navia is going outside

204
00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:53,080
Speaker 2: of the top one sixty right now because he had

205
00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:56,600
Speaker 2: a bad twenty twenty three, But he's only really being

206
00:08:56,640 --> 00:08:58,600
Speaker 2: priced based on that twenty twenty three and not how

207
00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:00,640
Speaker 2: good he was in twenty twenty two. Obviously you don't

208
00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:03,240
Speaker 2: want to buy that ceiling, which I think a lot

209
00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:05,680
Speaker 2: of people probably did last year, and that's why there's

210
00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:08,360
Speaker 2: so much like buyer's remorse for him this year. So

211
00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:11,920
Speaker 2: people are avoiding him. But this is a guy in

212
00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:14,280
Speaker 2: twenty twenty two who ind he threw one hundred and

213
00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:16,000
Speaker 2: forty eight innings and struck out one hundred and ninety

214
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:17,520
Speaker 2: four guys with a two point five four ear RA,

215
00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:20,280
Speaker 2: and his expected metrics were a little bit higher than that.

216
00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:22,240
Speaker 2: And last year he had a four point five sixty RA,

217
00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:24,440
Speaker 2: which did look like it was earned. Like his expected

218
00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:27,200
Speaker 2: numbers were all right around there too, But his weight

219
00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:30,120
Speaker 2: is down. He's been working on controlling base runners, and

220
00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:34,280
Speaker 2: I just think he's so cheap that he's going far

221
00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:37,560
Speaker 2: enough in this, like you know, the starting pitching market

222
00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:39,960
Speaker 2: in drafts that like, I'm willing to like roll the

223
00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:42,040
Speaker 2: dice on him because he has a very high ceiling

224
00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:43,680
Speaker 2: on a good team, especially if you're in a league

225
00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:46,640
Speaker 2: that counts wins, And I just think, you know, he's

226
00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:49,079
Speaker 2: an incredible value going outside the top one sixty right now.

227
00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:51,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, even just looking at like just strictly like the

228
00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:53,920
Speaker 1: strikeout numbers. You know, in twenty twenty one he had

229
00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:56,720
Speaker 1: one hundred and thirty and one hundred and one innings. Obviously,

230
00:09:56,720 --> 00:09:58,800
Speaker 1: twenty twenty two he had one hundred and ninety four

231
00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:00,640
Speaker 1: and one hundred and forty eight innings. Last year, he

232
00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:03,800
Speaker 1: had fewer strikeouts than innings pitch that that's the outlier

233
00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:04,880
Speaker 1: of the last three years.

234
00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:07,360
Speaker 2: So but still close to like nine, you know, like

235
00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:08,600
Speaker 2: still close to one per inning.

236
00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:13,199
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, just barely under a strikeout peranning. The next

237
00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:15,640
Speaker 1: guy that I'm gonna bring up is a pitcher as well.

238
00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:19,560
Speaker 1: He's going even further down ADP of two thirty eight.

239
00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:25,080
Speaker 1: It's Kyle Harrison, Top Giants prospect, best pitching prospect according

240
00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:27,599
Speaker 1: to them, you know, you know, for the Giants since Bumgardner,

241
00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:30,360
Speaker 1: I've heard him, you know, referred to as MLB pipeline

242
00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:33,360
Speaker 1: gives him a seventy fastball, fifty five slider, fifty five

243
00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:35,800
Speaker 1: change up that's on the twenty to eighty scouting scale.

244
00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:38,200
Speaker 1: Of course, only made seven starts to the big leagues

245
00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:40,480
Speaker 1: last year. He had a lot of control issues. That's

246
00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:43,560
Speaker 1: been his bugaboo in the minors, and it was you

247
00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:46,160
Speaker 1: know also as well in you know, in his first

248
00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:48,319
Speaker 1: for into the big leagues. But the stuff is great.

249
00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:51,520
Speaker 1: He is I think gonna be like their number two

250
00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:56,040
Speaker 1: starter like this season. I mean he's he's he's done

251
00:10:56,080 --> 00:10:57,840
Speaker 1: so little that it seems weird to say that, but

252
00:10:57,840 --> 00:10:59,560
Speaker 1: that seems to be how they're lining things up good

253
00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:02,120
Speaker 1: home ball park. He only gave up more than three

254
00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:04,480
Speaker 1: earned runs in one of those seven starts last year,

255
00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:06,760
Speaker 1: even with the control issues. He of course had that

256
00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:09,520
Speaker 1: elite outing against the Reds where he had eleven strikeouts

257
00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:11,199
Speaker 1: as well. So we've seen this sort of the high

258
00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:13,640
Speaker 1: end performance at the big league level, at least in

259
00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:17,840
Speaker 1: a small sample size. He's somebody who has the prospect pedigree,

260
00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:20,720
Speaker 1: has gotten sort of his feet wet at the big leagues,

261
00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:24,680
Speaker 1: has the stuff. I mean, it's it's really he's a

262
00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:29,400
Speaker 1: fun guy to watch and is one sort of improvement away,

263
00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:31,920
Speaker 1: the improvement being control from I think being a really

264
00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:33,640
Speaker 1: good picture. And again you're getting him at eight with

265
00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:36,040
Speaker 1: ADP two thirty eight. I almost wonder if I'm missing

266
00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:38,720
Speaker 1: something on that, because I just think the upside is

267
00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:40,400
Speaker 1: there and it's really hard to find pictures it's the

268
00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:44,080
Speaker 1: upside now. It's really there's so much pitching just kind

269
00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:45,719
Speaker 1: of in the middle. I know, like Scott White of

270
00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:48,920
Speaker 1: CBS calls it like the glob and that is that

271
00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:52,360
Speaker 1: is like such a big section of the starting pitching

272
00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:53,800
Speaker 1: rank gigs that if I can get a guy that

273
00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:56,079
Speaker 1: late who has that kind of upside, I'm really happy

274
00:11:56,080 --> 00:11:56,440
Speaker 1: about it.

275
00:11:56,559 --> 00:12:00,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, I have concerns, but I see the appeal, especially

276
00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:01,959
Speaker 2: like you know the stuff that you mentioned. If you

277
00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:03,840
Speaker 2: look at like his numbers throughout the miners, like his

278
00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:06,520
Speaker 2: era isn't like pristine, you you know, what you kind

279
00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:08,079
Speaker 2: of would want, Like you want to see a guy

280
00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:10,199
Speaker 2: like really dominating the miners. What you do see is

281
00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:13,720
Speaker 2: AKPRA nine in the teens, which is pretty exciting. And

282
00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:14,600
Speaker 2: so I get that.

283
00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:16,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, of course, and you know if his if his

284
00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:18,600
Speaker 1: ADP was one hundred spots higher, I'd feel a lot

285
00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:19,360
Speaker 1: differently about it.

286
00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:21,760
Speaker 2: But where he's going, Yeah, where he's going and that,

287
00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:24,760
Speaker 2: Like I was just working on my cheat sheet earlier

288
00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:27,199
Speaker 2: today and I kind of made that argument where I

289
00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:29,079
Speaker 2: was talking about, you know, there are certain you want

290
00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:30,880
Speaker 2: to take some risks cause in you're drafted, but you

291
00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:32,679
Speaker 2: would prefer to take those risks late, Like you don't

292
00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:34,720
Speaker 2: want to build your team with early risks, even if

293
00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:36,880
Speaker 2: they have high ceilings, because you know you have the

294
00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:40,280
Speaker 2: potential disaster. But like outside the top two hundred to fifty, like, yeah,

295
00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:42,120
Speaker 2: take a throw a dart at that guy. My other

296
00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:43,720
Speaker 2: concern would be like, how many innings is it's going

297
00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:46,000
Speaker 2: to throw, because that's fair. He threw less than one

298
00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:48,320
Speaker 2: hundred innings or maybe like exactly one hundred innings right

299
00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:50,360
Speaker 2: right around one hundred innings last year between Triple A

300
00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:53,920
Speaker 2: and the Majors. It looks like a right around one hundred,

301
00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:56,240
Speaker 2: and so like, is he going to throw one fifty

302
00:12:56,480 --> 00:12:58,200
Speaker 2: or are they going to tap him at like one twenty?

303
00:12:58,360 --> 00:13:00,200
Speaker 2: Do like they spread him out a little bit or

304
00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:03,680
Speaker 2: you know, it could matter, especially like later in the season,

305
00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:05,360
Speaker 2: depending on your format, you know, you might not like

306
00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:06,600
Speaker 2: have this guy for the playoffs.

307
00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:10,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that's a totally fair concern. I can

308
00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:13,000
Speaker 1: already tell that this is going to be consistent theme

309
00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:14,880
Speaker 1: with us going long for what's supposed to be a

310
00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:17,199
Speaker 1: micro cast. So let's quickly move to the players we're

311
00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:19,400
Speaker 1: avoiding here. Who's your first one.

312
00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:21,679
Speaker 2: I was just looking at the time as you said that,

313
00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:22,920
Speaker 2: and I was like, oh, yeah, well this was supposed

314
00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:24,840
Speaker 2: to be over by now, and we still have four

315
00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:27,679
Speaker 2: more names against it. I'll go quick with this one.

316
00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:30,360
Speaker 2: It's a pretty easy reason to you know, and not

317
00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:32,160
Speaker 2: an easy name to avoid. But like you can see

318
00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:34,200
Speaker 2: why I'm avoiding this guy and it's Cody Balinger, and

319
00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:37,679
Speaker 2: it's just because like we've seen the pumpkin before, right,

320
00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:39,720
Speaker 2: Like we've seen like I don't want to add his

321
00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:42,400
Speaker 2: current ADP. I don't want to pay for the glass slip,

322
00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:45,360
Speaker 2: the glass slipper and the carriage when like we've seen

323
00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:47,120
Speaker 2: what he can be before, and he was bad for

324
00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:48,920
Speaker 2: a while. It wasn't like he had like one bad year.

325
00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:50,400
Speaker 2: He was bad for like two or three two and

326
00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:52,120
Speaker 2: a half years, and then last year he kind of

327
00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:54,640
Speaker 2: put it all together. But now like you're paying his ADP,

328
00:13:54,800 --> 00:13:56,600
Speaker 2: like he's just going to do that again. I don't

329
00:13:56,600 --> 00:13:57,240
Speaker 2: know that he is.

330
00:13:57,840 --> 00:13:59,920
Speaker 1: Mayor you You asked me who I was picking, so

331
00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:01,640
Speaker 1: wouldn't pick any of the same ones, and I said,

332
00:14:01,679 --> 00:14:03,600
Speaker 1: it'll be more fun and have the element of surprise,

333
00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:05,480
Speaker 1: And then we both picked Cody Vellinger.

334
00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:09,199
Speaker 2: Well perfect, we're running a long on time anyways, that's perfect.

335
00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:11,400
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, exactly. Just to rehiorate. I mean he was

336
00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:13,760
Speaker 1: left for dead for Fantasy after three like like not

337
00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:16,480
Speaker 1: just like down seasons, but like truly like abysmal seasons.

338
00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:18,880
Speaker 1: Hadn't even reached twenty home runs in a year since

339
00:14:18,920 --> 00:14:21,760
Speaker 1: twenty nineteen, legitimately awesome last year, super fun guy. When

340
00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:23,720
Speaker 1: he first came up. I would like to be wrong

341
00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:25,880
Speaker 1: on him, but I'm just not the guy who's going

342
00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:28,200
Speaker 1: to spend a top sixty pick on a guy who

343
00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:31,640
Speaker 1: has had one good year one not terrible year in

344
00:14:31,680 --> 00:14:35,040
Speaker 1: the last four seasons. So I'm with you on there.

345
00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:37,120
Speaker 1: I'll just jump to my other one. I will say

346
00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:40,840
Speaker 1: I considered Yamamoto, but the only reason I didn't pick

347
00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:41,920
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, he's never thrown a pitch in

348
00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:43,320
Speaker 1: the big leagues. I know he got a big contract

349
00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:45,280
Speaker 1: on the Dodgers, a lot to be excited about. He's

350
00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:48,120
Speaker 1: going as like starting pitcher six in drafts right now.

351
00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:50,840
Speaker 1: The main reason I didn't pick him is because by

352
00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:52,960
Speaker 1: the time this episode's released, he will have pitched in

353
00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:55,600
Speaker 1: this you know, career series, and I don't want to

354
00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:58,040
Speaker 1: get burned before the first episode's even released. So I

355
00:14:58,360 --> 00:15:00,200
Speaker 1: want to record that I'm not picking Yamamoto, but I

356
00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:00,920
Speaker 1: did consider him.

357
00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:04,000
Speaker 2: We could also lose like four more starting pictures between

358
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:05,880
Speaker 2: now and when it's released, so he could be like

359
00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:06,520
Speaker 2: sp two.

360
00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:09,960
Speaker 1: Yes, it's very possible. So the guy that the other

361
00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:14,280
Speaker 1: guy that I picked besides Bellinger is to show how

362
00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:17,880
Speaker 1: much of a not homer I am. I'm picking Adley Rutchman.

363
00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:20,800
Speaker 1: I'm just not interested in taking a catcher that's going

364
00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:24,240
Speaker 1: in the top fifty picks. I think importantly they're going

365
00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:26,680
Speaker 1: to rest him more this season. I mean, he had

366
00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:28,640
Speaker 1: almost six hundred at bats last year he played. It

367
00:15:28,680 --> 00:15:31,360
Speaker 1: wasn't at the catcher position. He played in like one

368
00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:33,520
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty four games last year. I think it was.

369
00:15:34,120 --> 00:15:36,520
Speaker 1: This lineup is so loaded with young talent. They can

370
00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:39,080
Speaker 1: afford to rest him more this year, I think, and

371
00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:41,440
Speaker 1: I think they want to, and so when a lot

372
00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:43,280
Speaker 1: of his value is coming from the fact that he

373
00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:46,800
Speaker 1: is in the lineup every single day and accruing those

374
00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:49,480
Speaker 1: counting stats. If he's not doing that, I think he's

375
00:15:49,480 --> 00:15:53,080
Speaker 1: going to be even better in terms of the power numbers.

376
00:15:53,080 --> 00:15:55,120
Speaker 1: And I think he might even walk more this year.

377
00:15:55,160 --> 00:15:57,240
Speaker 1: Like I think there is another level for him to

378
00:15:57,240 --> 00:15:59,400
Speaker 1: step up his game. He is a little bit older

379
00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:02,200
Speaker 1: for a guy who only you know has as limited

380
00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:04,400
Speaker 1: major league experience as he does. But I think that

381
00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:07,280
Speaker 1: the less volume he's going to be getting is going

382
00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:09,680
Speaker 1: to be is going to make an impact on the

383
00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:11,920
Speaker 1: counting stats. And again I think I think he's the

384
00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:14,360
Speaker 1: best catcher in fantasy and the best catcher in baseball.

385
00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:16,720
Speaker 1: I love him. He should be the first catcher off

386
00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:19,040
Speaker 1: the board. I don't think the value gap between him

387
00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:22,120
Speaker 1: and the next guys at the position justify a top

388
00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:25,240
Speaker 1: fifty pick. And he's going ADP forty four, even if

389
00:16:25,240 --> 00:16:27,640
Speaker 1: he takes another step forward this year, I just don't.

390
00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:29,240
Speaker 1: I just think it's too rich for my blood.

391
00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:31,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, I would agree with you there. I love the player,

392
00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:34,720
Speaker 2: don't love drafting a catcher that high in that work league.

393
00:16:34,760 --> 00:16:36,840
Speaker 2: We were just talking about the auction I had yesterday.

394
00:16:37,160 --> 00:16:38,920
Speaker 2: You know, I usually like to take my catcher for

395
00:16:39,080 --> 00:16:43,200
Speaker 2: like a dollar two dollars, like maybe especially like in

396
00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:45,560
Speaker 2: a one catcher league. Maybe you know, like in years past,

397
00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:48,720
Speaker 2: you know, you spend ten dollars for real Muto or

398
00:16:49,040 --> 00:16:51,440
Speaker 2: or you know, like someone like Rutchman. You know, maybe

399
00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:53,400
Speaker 2: maybe you do spend ten dollars. He went for over

400
00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:56,440
Speaker 2: twenty dollars in our our our auction. I'm just not

401
00:16:56,520 --> 00:16:58,360
Speaker 2: spending over twenty dollars on a catcher who's not going

402
00:16:58,360 --> 00:17:00,080
Speaker 2: to play every day, and like like you said, at

403
00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:02,040
Speaker 2: one hundred fifty four games last year, it's not going

404
00:17:02,120 --> 00:17:04,639
Speaker 2: to happen again this year, Like especially like the rosters

405
00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:06,160
Speaker 2: are going to be even deeper this year. They're gonna

406
00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:07,760
Speaker 2: be able to afford to give him some more time off,

407
00:17:08,359 --> 00:17:09,840
Speaker 2: and like they're just not going to run him into

408
00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:12,200
Speaker 2: the ground. And so like even if he takes another

409
00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:14,439
Speaker 2: step forward, it probably, like you said, makes up. You know,

410
00:17:14,640 --> 00:17:17,520
Speaker 2: the less playing time is going to you know, kind

411
00:17:17,560 --> 00:17:19,000
Speaker 2: of even that out a little bit.

412
00:17:19,040 --> 00:17:22,320
Speaker 1: I think, yeah, definitely, So again, I am not a Homer.

413
00:17:22,359 --> 00:17:26,159
Speaker 1: I'm willing to not draft Orioles. So I want that

414
00:17:26,200 --> 00:17:26,760
Speaker 1: on the record.

415
00:17:26,760 --> 00:17:29,040
Speaker 2: Who is your You're definitely not a Homer. You never

416
00:17:29,119 --> 00:17:33,400
Speaker 2: mentioned the Ravens, You never draft Orioles? Yeah, all.

417
00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:35,560
Speaker 1: I was gonna say thankfully that this show is audio only,

418
00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:38,120
Speaker 1: because if it was on video, everybody could see the background.

419
00:17:38,119 --> 00:17:41,360
Speaker 1: I have like a buckshow Alter bobblehead, a Brooks Robinson bobblehead,

420
00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:45,119
Speaker 1: an Orioles playoff flag, There's a Brooks Robinson signed baseball.

421
00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:48,000
Speaker 1: There's like a ninety three Orioles mug that my mom

422
00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:51,160
Speaker 1: gave me. There's there's plenty of representation visually that nobody

423
00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:52,120
Speaker 1: will ever see on this show.

424
00:17:52,160 --> 00:17:55,080
Speaker 2: Who all released the video so they'll know it? My

425
00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:57,320
Speaker 2: last avoid is going to be George Kirby, which is

426
00:17:57,320 --> 00:17:59,359
Speaker 2: another example of like I like the player, I just

427
00:17:59,359 --> 00:18:01,680
Speaker 2: don't like the price. He's going way too high. Last season,

428
00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:03,520
Speaker 2: one hundred and ninety innings pitched, one hundred and seventy

429
00:18:03,520 --> 00:18:06,200
Speaker 2: two k's, so like not even a strike up er inning,

430
00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:09,000
Speaker 2: solid three point three five VRA. Most of the expected

431
00:18:09,040 --> 00:18:11,359
Speaker 2: numbers back that up, but they were like right at

432
00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:13,959
Speaker 2: that number or a little bit higher. His projections were

433
00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:16,960
Speaker 2: twenty twenty four, you know, the zeal projections on the

434
00:18:16,960 --> 00:18:20,080
Speaker 2: site pretty similar to those numbers, and it's kind of

435
00:18:20,119 --> 00:18:23,399
Speaker 2: like what if that's his ceiling? Like what if? And

436
00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:24,720
Speaker 2: then like are we even going to get a hundred

437
00:18:24,760 --> 00:18:26,919
Speaker 2: ninety innings again? Maybe we do, maybe we don't. And

438
00:18:26,960 --> 00:18:29,119
Speaker 2: if we do, like is one hundred and seventy two

439
00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:31,639
Speaker 2: inning or CA's and you know, like a solid arra

440
00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:33,679
Speaker 2: like worth that when like I feel like you can

441
00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:36,840
Speaker 2: get pretty similar production like several rounds later in your draft,

442
00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:39,439
Speaker 2: Like if I'm drafting a picture that high, I want

443
00:18:39,880 --> 00:18:42,639
Speaker 2: like a Strider or a Corbin Burns or you know

444
00:18:43,840 --> 00:18:48,320
Speaker 2: kind of or a Yama Moto where it's like I

445
00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:50,400
Speaker 2: really like George Kirkby. I just like I think he's

446
00:18:50,520 --> 00:18:52,280
Speaker 2: kind of being pushed up a little too far because

447
00:18:52,280 --> 00:18:54,560
Speaker 2: people like him, and when you look at like the value,

448
00:18:54,640 --> 00:18:56,440
Speaker 2: it's just I don't think it matches up with where

449
00:18:56,440 --> 00:18:59,439
Speaker 2: he's going, whether it's like auctions or you know, his

450
00:18:59,520 --> 00:19:00,640
Speaker 2: ADP drafts.

451
00:19:00,840 --> 00:19:02,359
Speaker 1: I think I think that's a great call, and I

452
00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:05,359
Speaker 1: totally agree with you that I really like the player,

453
00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:07,720
Speaker 1: But again, looking at some of the he's starting to

454
00:19:07,720 --> 00:19:10,240
Speaker 1: put your nine and ADP and just some of the

455
00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:12,800
Speaker 1: names going after him, Like, I'm not saying he should

456
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:15,440
Speaker 1: definitely be going behind all these guys, but I don't

457
00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:17,600
Speaker 1: know if he should be going ahead of every one

458
00:19:17,680 --> 00:19:22,639
Speaker 1: of glass now, Logan Webbs, Scooball, Nola, Max Fried Framber, Like,

459
00:19:22,960 --> 00:19:26,320
Speaker 1: there's a lot of talent and guys who give you

460
00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:29,920
Speaker 1: more in a lot of categories than Kirby Will. Again,

461
00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:31,560
Speaker 1: I like the player. He's young enough that there could

462
00:19:31,600 --> 00:19:34,280
Speaker 1: be another step forward, and you know he's he's a

463
00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:35,880
Speaker 1: guy I'd love to have on my real life team.

464
00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:38,480
Speaker 1: But yeah, in fantasy where he's going, I think that's

465
00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:40,719
Speaker 1: totally reasonable that it's a bit much. We will get

466
00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:43,159
Speaker 1: out of the go ahead, go ahead.

467
00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:45,359
Speaker 2: I was gonna say there is kind of like and

468
00:19:45,840 --> 00:19:47,959
Speaker 2: like you were saying, like, there's there's names are right

469
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:49,679
Speaker 2: behind him that I would I would rather have, And

470
00:19:49,680 --> 00:19:52,200
Speaker 2: then there's also names like much later. Like one of

471
00:19:52,200 --> 00:19:55,160
Speaker 2: the names I considered with instead of like Chris Navier,

472
00:19:55,200 --> 00:19:56,520
Speaker 2: but I thought he was gonna be going too high

473
00:19:56,560 --> 00:19:58,800
Speaker 2: to have. His player really wanted was like zach Eflin,

474
00:19:58,840 --> 00:20:02,320
Speaker 2: Like I'd rather have Zach Eflin four or five rounds later.

475
00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:04,560
Speaker 2: Then where George Kirby's going, you know, players like that,

476
00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:07,280
Speaker 2: Joe Ryan, Justin Steele, those players.

477
00:20:07,119 --> 00:20:09,720
Speaker 1: Definitely Well, we'll work out the kings here before we

478
00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:12,040
Speaker 1: get to our first episode in terms of speaking over

479
00:20:12,119 --> 00:20:13,639
Speaker 1: each other. But we will get out of there on

480
00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:15,800
Speaker 1: that because we went like twice as long as we

481
00:20:15,800 --> 00:20:18,560
Speaker 1: were supposed to on this first episode, which bodes well

482
00:20:18,600 --> 00:20:20,879
Speaker 1: for the future and particularly for those who will be

483
00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:23,920
Speaker 1: editing of these shows. I hope everybody sticks around for

484
00:20:24,080 --> 00:20:27,040
Speaker 1: this weekly show, and you know, we try and we

485
00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:29,520
Speaker 1: will really try and give you, you know, a weekly

486
00:20:29,600 --> 00:20:32,679
Speaker 1: kind of snapshot of the landscape of Fantasy baseball. Like

487
00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:35,480
Speaker 1: I said, we'll be talking about storylines and stuff that's

488
00:20:35,520 --> 00:20:37,159
Speaker 1: topical to that week, but we want to take a

489
00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:40,280
Speaker 1: larger season view help you with trade things of that nature,

490
00:20:40,320 --> 00:20:41,680
Speaker 1: and we'll try and bring on, you know, some of

491
00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:43,640
