I 0:01:20.080 --> 0:01:23.600 just sleep last night, buddy, dude, I lose his dream 0:01:23.600 --> 0:01:27.199 about work now it's bad. That's not necessarily a dream. 0:01:27.200 --> 0:01:29.840 Then that's of a nightmare. Correct. I dreamed that like 0:01:29.880 --> 0:01:33.720 we were taving FanDuel today, like everything went wrong. Why 0:01:33.760 --> 0:01:35.800 do you think such bad things? Greg? I don't know. 0:01:35.800 --> 0:01:37.200 I wake up and I wake up and was like, 0:01:37.400 --> 0:01:40.199 we had a great night. Come on play by play, dude, 0:01:41.080 --> 0:01:44.119 great story to start off today's show. Great story. Before 0:01:44.120 --> 0:01:45.560 we get into it, I want to welcome to our 0:01:45.600 --> 0:01:47.920 guest at this time. We hung out with them all 0:01:47.920 --> 0:01:51.160 weekend long. It was a blast. It's Maddie Moo, Maddie 0:01:51.160 --> 0:01:54.520 moodicka every Moodica Monday says, I'm at man, what's going on, guys? 0:01:54.600 --> 0:01:58.600 Great chilling this weekend. One weekend down, one weekend to 0:01:58.680 --> 0:02:00.440 love it, love it. The money was I you saw 0:02:00.480 --> 0:02:03.640 a whole a lot of things change, I'd say, and 0:02:03.720 --> 0:02:06.240 we'll talk about that with Matt over the next hour 0:02:06.480 --> 0:02:09.360 or so. Now, Frank, we gotta start off with the story, 0:02:09.360 --> 0:02:14.000 do we not? Yeah? I think it's fair. So Frank 0:02:14.040 --> 0:02:17.880 texted me, what's time you gonna texted me yet? Fright 0:02:17.960 --> 0:02:24.160 texted me, I feel like eight o'clock right, yeah, eight yep. 0:02:25.639 --> 0:02:29.840 Lost all three of my fantasy basketball semifinals, and I said, 0:02:32.040 --> 0:02:36.480 O m G. It's my response. Like then called Frank 0:02:37.280 --> 0:02:40.800 around eleven o'clock last night because we were playing Ronus 0:02:40.800 --> 0:02:43.040 and we were down all week, like we couldn't do 0:02:43.040 --> 0:02:46.680 anything right, everything went wrong, and I called Frank because 0:02:46.680 --> 0:02:47.960 I checked a lot of as I kind of get 0:02:48.000 --> 0:02:49.920 it ready for bed. It was about at eleven o'clock, 0:02:49.960 --> 0:02:53.200 like I said, and we were down one three pointer 0:02:53.240 --> 0:02:56.760 from Ronus, one three pointer we needed to to take 0:02:56.840 --> 0:03:00.160 the lead. I go to the bathroom. I come out 0:03:00.200 --> 0:03:03.200 to wash up, brush my teeth. I come out and 0:03:03.240 --> 0:03:06.040 we are winning. I called Frank right back up, Hey, 0:03:06.080 --> 0:03:11.400 what's up? And I'm like, we're winning? What what? So? 0:03:11.440 --> 0:03:13.519 I sat there with Frank because he was watching on 0:03:13.560 --> 0:03:15.320 his xbox. I was just watching on ESPN and then 0:03:15.360 --> 0:03:18.040 on YES, so I was like a good five to 0:03:18.120 --> 0:03:20.920 ten minutes ahead of him on the broadcast. So I 0:03:20.960 --> 0:03:24.560 was giving straight play by play of the Clippers Nets 0:03:24.600 --> 0:03:28.760 game in which we won and advanced to the finals. Frankie, 0:03:29.200 --> 0:03:31.560 it was wild. We had no business being in this 0:03:32.639 --> 0:03:34.920 at all. I mean, we were getting destroyed all week long. 0:03:34.960 --> 0:03:37.680 Greg calls me up. He's doing play by play. Gillis 0:03:37.680 --> 0:03:41.480 Alexander two. It's the three. It's now what I said? 0:03:41.680 --> 0:03:45.040 I said, s g A in the corner shoots the three. 0:03:45.240 --> 0:03:48.800 Got it, got it, got it. I was running around screaming, 0:03:48.800 --> 0:03:51.119 got it, and it was amazing. We had no business winning. 0:03:51.120 --> 0:03:53.000 He was great, and now we're in the finals. Were 0:03:53.000 --> 0:03:54.480 in the final. I've never been able to take home 0:03:54.520 --> 0:03:57.000 this league. Hopefully you were the good look time back 0:03:57.040 --> 0:03:58.760 to back finals appearances in my first two years in 0:03:58.760 --> 0:04:00.920 the league. That's how get it done. How you get 0:04:00.920 --> 0:04:05.240 it done? Alright, Maddy Mo, what's going on? It's Monday, baby, 0:04:05.320 --> 0:04:07.760 I'm up, which is surprising. I've been up to six 0:04:07.800 --> 0:04:12.600 am somehow, but uh excited to talk about the previous weekend? 0:04:12.840 --> 0:04:15.280 Six am? So you do you toss and turn in 0:04:15.280 --> 0:04:17.960 the morning, thinking about like your drafts and stuff, how 0:04:18.000 --> 0:04:21.320 you like crushed everybody, or you're thinking about something completely different. 0:04:22.200 --> 0:04:24.039 I think it's just getting over to wake up early 0:04:24.080 --> 0:04:28.680 all the time now, to wake up and get his coffee, 0:04:28.680 --> 0:04:30.640 which you know he's always taking pictures of what he's eating. 0:04:31.080 --> 0:04:34.360 Well it's coffee that he's drinking, so I mean you're 0:04:34.360 --> 0:04:38.640 doing it right now. So this is my first time 0:04:38.680 --> 0:04:42.320 seeing Maddie Mo in his element right like around all 0:04:42.400 --> 0:04:45.200 the other sharks in the room. Him and Andy Saxton 0:04:45.279 --> 0:04:47.839 giving each other craft all weekend long. It was awesome. 0:04:48.040 --> 0:04:51.480 They were going they were in drafts together, Jeff simultaneously. 0:04:51.760 --> 0:04:54.200 It was like such a ridiculous event. We covered it 0:04:54.240 --> 0:04:56.280 live for the Fantasy Sports radier Nowhere. We were there 0:04:56.320 --> 0:04:58.280 all day Friday, uh and then for most of the 0:04:58.360 --> 0:05:00.480 day on Saturday for the main event to see Frankie 0:05:00.520 --> 0:05:03.000 you participating in the maternet. We'll get near feelings on 0:05:03.080 --> 0:05:08.280 everything in a bit. But it was a wild, wild show. 0:05:08.360 --> 0:05:12.320 See how serious everybody is, how casual they are because 0:05:12.320 --> 0:05:14.440 they'll know each other, and it was like they were 0:05:14.480 --> 0:05:17.919 just there to do their job, do their business. It 0:05:18.040 --> 0:05:20.719 was just silent. It was intense. It was a really 0:05:20.720 --> 0:05:25.039 really interesting view in the high stakes fantasy baseball. It 0:05:25.080 --> 0:05:27.440 was a lot of fun. I love the experience, just 0:05:27.520 --> 0:05:29.320 to try and map this out and explain how it 0:05:29.360 --> 0:05:32.880 looks for everyone. We're basically inside a huge like hotel 0:05:33.080 --> 0:05:38.279 meeting lobby area with three fifteen team drafts going on 0:05:38.440 --> 0:05:41.279 side by side by side, projectors up on the screen 0:05:41.320 --> 0:05:43.320 with the draft results that are going on. You're here 0:05:43.440 --> 0:05:45.880 names getting called out left, You're here names getting called 0:05:45.920 --> 0:05:49.120 out right. Everyone's looking down across the names off their list, 0:05:49.720 --> 0:05:52.400 marking things off on their computer. Players who are getting drafted, 0:05:52.560 --> 0:05:54.200 trying to figure out what they're gonna do next. It 0:05:54.320 --> 0:05:57.040 is intense. It was a lot of fun. I loved 0:05:57.160 --> 0:06:00.040 the first time being here, love competing against Maddiemo. I 0:06:00.040 --> 0:06:01.960 think it's gonna be a lot of fun. Uh, Matt, 0:06:02.040 --> 0:06:04.039 I have no idea how you do it. I know 0:06:04.080 --> 0:06:06.040 people were calling you the machine at six ft now 0:06:06.120 --> 0:06:08.000 last night while the batteries are starting to run out. 0:06:08.160 --> 0:06:09.960 I don't know how you got through the weekend because 0:06:10.320 --> 0:06:12.240 it seems like you had a draft in an auction 0:06:12.760 --> 0:06:15.080 each day Friday, Saturday and Sunday. I have no idea 0:06:15.120 --> 0:06:18.000 how you did it. Yeah, it's it's tough, but you 0:06:18.040 --> 0:06:20.920 know you I look folk to this these two weekends, 0:06:21.000 --> 0:06:23.680 you know, every year, so you gotta have conserve as 0:06:23.760 --> 0:06:26.800 much energy once again, you're as much coffee, take as 0:06:26.880 --> 0:06:31.480 much a leave as possible, and you know, the competition 0:06:31.800 --> 0:06:35.680 is great, but the camaraderie is just as good. And 0:06:35.720 --> 0:06:39.000 I've made so many friends throughout the years in both 0:06:39.560 --> 0:06:43.680 baseball and football high stakes. It's, as I said, just 0:06:43.800 --> 0:06:46.440 a weekend full of guys that will know each other, 0:06:46.520 --> 0:06:49.640 guys that um and ladies that that have played together. 0:06:50.240 --> 0:06:52.480 And they're doing it for the money. They're doing it 0:06:52.520 --> 0:06:53.760 for the money. So Frank I go, I go over 0:06:53.760 --> 0:06:55.159 to you. This is your first n FBC made event 0:06:55.240 --> 0:06:57.719 you were teaming up Greg Biden. What is your feelings 0:06:57.720 --> 0:06:59.200 walking in that room? How do you feel the draft one? 0:06:59.240 --> 0:07:02.560 And where's that at. I feel great about the way 0:07:02.560 --> 0:07:05.839 that the team turned out. Obviously, um you know what 0:07:05.880 --> 0:07:07.400 I was looking for early on here, I wanted to 0:07:07.400 --> 0:07:09.080 get an outfield. I wanted to get a starting pitcher. 0:07:09.200 --> 0:07:12.520 Chris Sale ends up falling to pick nineteen, which honestly 0:07:12.680 --> 0:07:15.040 was probably my hardest decision of the draft because I 0:07:15.080 --> 0:07:17.120 told myself, if Garret Cole was there at nineteen, that's 0:07:17.120 --> 0:07:19.280 who I wanted. But I didn't expect Chris Sale to 0:07:19.320 --> 0:07:21.400 be there. So I'm looking at the board, I'm thinking 0:07:21.400 --> 0:07:24.240 about Sale versus Garrett Cole. Ultimately I take Chris Sale 0:07:24.240 --> 0:07:27.400 because my perspective, you're playing for an overall, you take 0:07:27.480 --> 0:07:29.600 the player who has the highest upside, and I think 0:07:29.640 --> 0:07:31.960 Garrit Cole had tremendous upside as well, and he might 0:07:32.000 --> 0:07:34.040 even be the safer pick than Chris Sale. At this point, 0:07:34.200 --> 0:07:36.560 we know the concerns would say, last year, the velocity 0:07:36.600 --> 0:07:39.040 came down. He's got the wiry frame. Like I've always 0:07:39.120 --> 0:07:41.400 kind of worried about these things. I've never really owned him, 0:07:41.400 --> 0:07:44.320 so I'm gonna get the first hand experience from Chris Sale, 0:07:44.720 --> 0:07:46.679 but some of those things to rest over the weekend 0:07:46.720 --> 0:07:48.520 when he made his debut, I know the velocity was 0:07:48.680 --> 0:07:52.760 like but had seven strikeouts in four innings. I just 0:07:52.760 --> 0:07:54.520 think the upside is higher with Chris Sale. So when 0:07:54.520 --> 0:07:57.720 you're playing with for an overall UH that that's ultimately 0:07:57.760 --> 0:08:00.440 the decision that I came to. But Matt, I'll throw 0:08:00.440 --> 0:08:02.040 this your way as well, because you know, I was 0:08:02.040 --> 0:08:04.720 sitting around that Friday night watching you guys draft UH 0:08:04.800 --> 0:08:06.960 in the in the Ultimate the Ultimate Draft, which was 0:08:07.000 --> 0:08:09.920 a five K entry high Stakes draft, and I saw 0:08:09.960 --> 0:08:11.400 some of the picks that were flying off the board. 0:08:11.520 --> 0:08:14.560 My biggest takeaway even before I drafted this weekend was 0:08:15.120 --> 0:08:18.600 get your guys, don't worry about a DP, just draft 0:08:18.600 --> 0:08:21.280 whoever you want. Because I remember there was a team 0:08:21.320 --> 0:08:23.480 picked four teen on that Friday night high Stakes draft 0:08:23.640 --> 0:08:27.120 who started Aaron Nola. Aaron Nolan, I picked four teen 0:08:27.400 --> 0:08:29.560 and Javier Bias, And it was right then that I 0:08:29.680 --> 0:08:32.160 was like, just get your guys, Like if you trust 0:08:32.200 --> 0:08:35.040 a player is gonna break out, or you know you 0:08:35.080 --> 0:08:37.680 have projections higher for a place, like a specific player 0:08:37.720 --> 0:08:40.120 than anyone else in your league. It doesn't matter if 0:08:40.160 --> 0:08:41.319 you pull them up the board or not. If you 0:08:41.360 --> 0:08:44.960 trust that player, take that player. Yeah, no if especially 0:08:45.040 --> 0:08:46.839 you know, if you're doing the research for a couple 0:08:46.840 --> 0:08:50.160 of months and you're putting uh substantial amounts of money 0:08:50.160 --> 0:08:52.240 on the law, and you gotta believe in what you're doing. 0:08:53.120 --> 0:08:56.640 And it looks like like you said, sell to me. 0:08:56.679 --> 0:09:01.000 If uh Chris healthy and the second half of last 0:09:01.040 --> 0:09:05.560 season didn't happen, he's you know, I would possibly be 0:09:05.600 --> 0:09:07.880 my number one guy on the board, even when as 0:09:08.080 --> 0:09:11.360 as magical as Max shows has been the last five years. 0:09:11.400 --> 0:09:14.079 But it did happen. But it's tough. Like you said, 0:09:14.160 --> 0:09:18.280 you're in that spot and passing on sale at nineteen 0:09:18.320 --> 0:09:20.040 would have been would have been difficult for me to do. 0:09:20.080 --> 0:09:21.760 And you know, I was on cold last year and 0:09:21.760 --> 0:09:25.240 I love him just as much this year. But I 0:09:25.760 --> 0:09:28.640 think you how to pull the trigger there. I thought 0:09:28.640 --> 0:09:31.600 the biggest surprise in particular to your main event draft 0:09:31.679 --> 0:09:33.280 and and some of the other ones I saw also 0:09:33.960 --> 0:09:35.920 was J. D. Martinez, which is where I want to 0:09:35.960 --> 0:09:38.600 I want to dive into. So JD. Martinez drops almost 0:09:38.640 --> 0:09:40.720 all the way you at twelve ranight, he goes at 0:09:40.800 --> 0:09:43.480 number eleven in Draft one of the main event, he 0:09:43.559 --> 0:09:46.280 dropped all the way to nine. In Draft three, he 0:09:46.440 --> 0:09:49.000 also dropped all the way to nine. This is a guy, Frank, 0:09:49.080 --> 0:09:51.280 that we in our draft tomorrow. I was talking about 0:09:51.440 --> 0:09:53.520 four overall and this is the main event. There is 0:09:53.520 --> 0:09:56.840 the high stakes player he went. The highest he went 0:09:57.040 --> 0:10:01.079 is number nine. Matt what are we missing? If Jennie Martinez, 0:10:01.080 --> 0:10:03.959 what's going on? I'll say he's probably the third best 0:10:03.960 --> 0:10:06.800 sitter in baseball right now. The thing is in the 0:10:06.840 --> 0:10:10.280 first round all these because this is an overall competition. 0:10:10.640 --> 0:10:14.439 It's not just like a satellite or a standalone home league, 0:10:14.720 --> 0:10:19.480 So you're competing against five or sell other players all constantly. 0:10:19.480 --> 0:10:21.680 So a hundred, you know, it's not like you have 0:10:21.840 --> 0:10:24.840 enough saves, you have enough speed, so you want to 0:10:24.920 --> 0:10:26.800 keep getting it. Like if you're in a home league 0:10:26.800 --> 0:10:29.000 and you have a hundred and fifty selling basis and 0:10:29.040 --> 0:10:32.440 that guy has a hundred, you know that doesn't make 0:10:32.480 --> 0:10:35.600 that much sense. But in the overall, you gotta keep 0:10:35.720 --> 0:10:40.160 getting it. And everybody either wants that ace early or 0:10:40.200 --> 0:10:42.920 they want like a guy who can steal them twenty 0:10:42.920 --> 0:10:46.120 bases along with the power as well. And the reason 0:10:46.200 --> 0:10:50.480 Why j D and Erronado do fool is because of 0:10:50.520 --> 0:10:53.440 that they don't know if you any speed, and it's 0:10:53.480 --> 0:10:55.720 so hard to get it. You want to have a 0:10:55.760 --> 0:10:58.520 base of, say, you know, thirty twenty type kind of 0:10:58.559 --> 0:11:00.679 guys with average in that for un if you can 0:11:00.720 --> 0:11:04.160 get it. Why Aaron Judge over j D Martinez in 0:11:04.240 --> 0:11:07.800 every league? I saw Aaron Judge go and this is 0:11:08.000 --> 0:11:09.560 and I wanted to ask you about this as well, 0:11:09.600 --> 0:11:13.520 Matt is how much should spring training matter? Because people 0:11:13.559 --> 0:11:16.360 say spring training shouldn't matter, especially when you know we're 0:11:16.360 --> 0:11:19.600 talking about people who have been doing research for the 0:11:19.640 --> 0:11:21.840 past couple of months. Again, you got your guys, you 0:11:21.840 --> 0:11:23.920 want to get your guys, trust your gut, go with 0:11:23.960 --> 0:11:26.720 what the research says. But when I saw you yesterday 0:11:26.760 --> 0:11:30.200 in a main event, Aaron Judge goes fifth. Overall, this 0:11:30.280 --> 0:11:31.720 is not an O b P format. This is a 0:11:31.760 --> 0:11:35.920 batting average format. That tells me that spring training does matter. 0:11:36.040 --> 0:11:38.640 People are paying attention to spring training because they're seeing 0:11:38.679 --> 0:11:40.480 what Judge is doing and he's seting six home runs, 0:11:40.480 --> 0:11:42.360 and he's going out every day and he's smacking another 0:11:42.360 --> 0:11:44.640 home run and people are getting excited about what he 0:11:44.679 --> 0:11:47.040 can do if he stays healthy in the Yankees lineup. 0:11:47.120 --> 0:11:49.920 So I'll throw it to you, how much should spring 0:11:49.920 --> 0:11:53.240 training matter? Does it normally make this much of a difference? 0:11:53.240 --> 0:11:55.160 Because j D. Martinez to this point is someone who 0:11:55.200 --> 0:11:57.240 has struggled in the spring. He's hitting one thirty with 0:11:57.360 --> 0:11:59.640 zero home runs. That doesn't concerned me. I still think 0:11:59.720 --> 0:12:02.360 j D. Martinez should be a top five six player 0:12:02.720 --> 0:12:05.960 off the board. But if I'm seeing Judge go fifth overall, 0:12:06.000 --> 0:12:09.520 greg spring training is obviously driving there. Yeah. I mean, 0:12:10.120 --> 0:12:12.000 but like what Aaron Judge is doing in the spring 0:12:12.040 --> 0:12:14.679 isn't exactly a surprise. Like Aaron Judge is what you 0:12:14.679 --> 0:12:16.680 expect him to do during the season, so you know 0:12:16.760 --> 0:12:20.160 he's healthy. I haven't it allows to ignored with Aaron 0:12:20.240 --> 0:12:21.679 Judge is done in the spring. I canna tell you 0:12:21.760 --> 0:12:23.320 what j D. Martinez has done on the spring. I 0:12:23.360 --> 0:12:25.480 have no idea because I don't think it matters. And 0:12:25.520 --> 0:12:28.160 I'm very surprised, Matt if the high stakes players do 0:12:28.280 --> 0:12:32.400 think that matters. Now, I think it's more like say 0:12:32.880 --> 0:12:35.920 pictures and stuff, at least actual matters to me or 0:12:36.000 --> 0:12:39.320 younger players, you know, constantly being in that line up 0:12:39.320 --> 0:12:42.320 at a certain spot in it in in the batting 0:12:42.400 --> 0:12:46.280 order and stuff like that. But as far as uh, yeah, 0:12:46.280 --> 0:12:49.800 I mean j D Martinez signed she you know, around 0:12:49.800 --> 0:12:52.480 the same time as Bryce Hopper signed, and he went 0:12:52.520 --> 0:12:54.680 on to be you know, I could have been an 0:12:54.760 --> 0:12:56.959 m v P, you know, mookie gap, but j D 0:12:57.160 --> 0:12:59.760 was right there with all those numbers and stuff. I'm 0:12:59.760 --> 0:13:02.320 gonna k j D over Judge. I really like Judge 0:13:02.760 --> 0:13:04.680 this year. I mean, I don't know how you don't 0:13:04.800 --> 0:13:07.880 like him. I was in the draft where he went five, 0:13:08.800 --> 0:13:11.560 what kind of for me? And then I had a 0:13:11.559 --> 0:13:14.360 good shot at Hopper being there. I didn't want to 0:13:14.400 --> 0:13:17.680 get a bat number was one. Uh it was horror 0:13:17.800 --> 0:13:21.000 Judge I expected to get. So it worked out well 0:13:21.120 --> 0:13:25.200 that way. But maybe it's just that one guy has 0:13:25.320 --> 0:13:30.240 him valued so much higher than others, and if he 0:13:30.400 --> 0:13:34.640 delivers on forty homers, Robbies and stuff, I just did 0:13:34.640 --> 0:13:38.640 a bad average. Between Judge and j D. There's gonna 0:13:38.640 --> 0:13:42.160 be a significant gap. It should be, and I expected 0:13:42.160 --> 0:13:44.360 to be. I would expect, you know, j D. Martinez 0:13:44.400 --> 0:13:46.000 at least hit three ten. I mean it could be 0:13:46.240 --> 0:13:48.360 as high as three twenty. We saw where it was 0:13:48.400 --> 0:13:50.800 at last year. Both him and Beds finished the top 0:13:50.840 --> 0:13:54.000 two in the a L Batting Crown last year. So 0:13:54.120 --> 0:13:56.760 in the biggest difference is the strikeouts. Right Judge strikes 0:13:56.760 --> 0:14:02.080 out of the time round percent. Now Judge only it 0:14:02.120 --> 0:14:04.480 lowered his strikeout rates to that he probably would hit 0:14:04.480 --> 0:14:05.920 over three d as well, because he hits the ball 0:14:05.960 --> 0:14:07.600 as hard as he does. I mean, that's why he's 0:14:07.640 --> 0:14:10.520 able to even maintain a two seventy batting average with 0:14:10.640 --> 0:14:12.480 striking out thirty percent of the time, because he hits 0:14:12.520 --> 0:14:15.120 the ball as hard as he does. So if he 0:14:15.160 --> 0:14:16.920 was able to lower that strikeout rate, then he would 0:14:16.920 --> 0:14:19.240 be able to be a three hundred hitter like J. D. Martinez, 0:14:19.240 --> 0:14:22.880 But we haven't seen any evidence of that happening for 0:14:23.000 --> 0:14:24.840 Aaron Judge. So as of now, I mean, if I'm 0:14:24.920 --> 0:14:27.200 draft him, which I did, I would expect a you know, 0:14:27.600 --> 0:14:30.760 to sixty five to seventy five batting average with forty 0:14:30.800 --> 0:14:34.320 home runs and you know, potentially in the Yankees lineup, 0:14:34.360 --> 0:14:38.440 which you know the counting stats are gonna be there too. Yeah, listen, absolutely, 0:14:38.440 --> 0:14:40.920 I get it. And it's it's amazing where you kind 0:14:40.920 --> 0:14:44.400 of gone on Aaron Judge from where you started. Sectly 0:14:44.440 --> 0:14:47.080 you were against him, but how much you've kind of fallen. 0:14:47.320 --> 0:14:49.840 He has big splits. He has big splits issues. But 0:14:49.960 --> 0:14:52.880 again for Rhodo for the season long, that doesn't matter. 0:14:52.920 --> 0:14:54.120 So what are you giving me at the end of 0:14:54.160 --> 0:14:55.960 the season. I would say, you know, for head to 0:14:56.040 --> 0:14:57.680 head leagues, that might matter a little bit more of 0:14:57.680 --> 0:14:59.840 the consistency or lack thereof, because if you look at 0:14:59.880 --> 0:15:02.240 his his home road splits in his career, and you 0:15:02.680 --> 0:15:05.760 kind of understand because it's Yankee Stadium, I mean, he's 0:15:05.760 --> 0:15:08.680 it's like drastically different. You know, he's like over a 0:15:08.680 --> 0:15:11.880 thousand ops at home, like over three batting average, and 0:15:11.880 --> 0:15:14.080 then at on the road he's like a two thirty 0:15:14.640 --> 0:15:17.880 hitter with like a sub eight ps. So that that 0:15:17.960 --> 0:15:19.720 kind of lack of consistency might hurt you in a 0:15:19.720 --> 0:15:22.880 head to head league where you need weekly consistency. But Rhodo, 0:15:23.040 --> 0:15:24.760 end of season, hey, as long as you give me 0:15:25.120 --> 0:15:28.320 my you know, home runs, a hundred runs, a hundred 0:15:28.560 --> 0:15:32.520 RBIs that's all I'm asking absolutely Now, looking at these 0:15:32.640 --> 0:15:34.800 drafts as we we'll talk about them. We'll talk about 0:15:34.840 --> 0:15:36.600 our auction, because we've been on the air since our 0:15:36.640 --> 0:15:38.960 auction on Thursday night as well. We have another draft. 0:15:39.000 --> 0:15:40.440 We have a lot going on today. We're gonna go 0:15:40.480 --> 0:15:42.520 over this adventure and his draft will get into his 0:15:42.600 --> 0:15:44.880 draft come up when he joins us next hour. So 0:15:45.200 --> 0:15:48.000 a lot of draft recap, seeing where players have gone 0:15:48.280 --> 0:15:50.600 now that you're actually pulling the trigger now the money's 0:15:50.640 --> 0:15:53.440 actually on the line, seeing where some of these players 0:15:53.440 --> 0:15:56.200 are going, and I think that makes a huge, huge difference. 0:15:56.280 --> 0:15:58.960 I got, like Francisco Lindor, we questioned him, there's a 0:15:59.040 --> 0:16:01.400 rumor he could be ready for we're opening day. In 0:16:01.440 --> 0:16:05.000 the second round, Lindor went to Andy Saxon and Matt Modica, 0:16:05.240 --> 0:16:07.360 team number two. We're gonna ask Matt about that. On 0:16:07.360 --> 0:16:10.080 the other side, where how happy or what they thought 0:16:10.120 --> 0:16:13.400 of getting Lindor there In Draft one. Francisco Lindor went 0:16:13.440 --> 0:16:16.120 in your spot in the very first round. Oh, the 0:16:16.240 --> 0:16:18.920 NFBC made event. In the second one, he went in 0:16:19.080 --> 0:16:22.360 your spotting team two in round two. So Francisco Lindor, 0:16:22.480 --> 0:16:24.560 Frank kind of back up to where he was, except 0:16:24.560 --> 0:16:27.160 for Matt, which again we'll get you after the break. Yeah, 0:16:27.160 --> 0:16:29.240 And it's all about roster construction, the way that people 0:16:29.280 --> 0:16:31.280 like to build their teams, and Matt's right, a lot 0:16:31.280 --> 0:16:34.520 of people want to get that base of home runs. 0:16:34.520 --> 0:16:36.120 Can you give me stolen bases as well? With a 0:16:36.120 --> 0:16:38.920 good batting average, Lindor can definitely do that. It's just 0:16:38.960 --> 0:16:41.680 a matter of how healthy he's going to bed. I 0:16:41.680 --> 0:16:43.440 couldn't do that great because you know, I wanted to 0:16:43.480 --> 0:16:45.480 get an ACE early on. I don't like the start 0:16:45.600 --> 0:16:47.520 starting pitchers that are there at the end of the third, 0:16:47.520 --> 0:16:49.920 early fourth round. I don't want want two of those guys, 0:16:50.200 --> 0:16:52.160 So to me, I knew I was taking a starting 0:16:52.160 --> 0:16:54.080 pitcher with one of my first All right, fair enough. 0:16:54.120 --> 0:16:56.040 When we come back, we'll hear more about Matt Modica's 0:16:56.040 --> 0:16:58.320 pick for Francisco Lindor, and then we'll name check a 0:16:58.360 --> 0:17:00.120 whole ton of guys who are moving stick around out 0:17:00.160 --> 0:17:03.320 more the way Daily rodo dot Com learn from the 0:17:03.360 --> 0:17:07.080 game's best DFS players.

I said it to you at the hotel 0:20:06.680 --> 0:20:08.439 on Saturday, Matt, I'll say it to you. Now, you 0:20:08.480 --> 0:20:10.359 had to be thrilled that Lindore was there for you 0:20:10.400 --> 0:20:12.679 in the second and then Noah synder Guard was there 0:20:12.720 --> 0:20:16.280 for you in the third. Yeah, that worked down quite nice. Look, 0:20:16.320 --> 0:20:20.520 I was drafting Lindor in the three spot earlier on 0:20:21.119 --> 0:20:23.439 when the draft season started, I was taking a cooner 0:20:23.800 --> 0:20:27.440 all Indor in that area, and Friday night I got 0:20:27.480 --> 0:20:30.280 him with the second to last pick in the second round. 0:20:30.520 --> 0:20:36.000 So I'm pretty heavily uh invested in Francisco Lindor. You're 0:20:36.000 --> 0:20:38.080 gonna have to probably, you know, I don't know if 0:20:38.119 --> 0:20:40.159 opening day is gonna be realistic, but even if it's 0:20:40.200 --> 0:20:43.200 a week or two, it happened early enough. Hopefully it's 0:20:43.240 --> 0:20:46.240 fully healed. And you know, this isn't like a thirty 0:20:46.240 --> 0:20:49.320 three year old Josh Donaldson that's dealing with. It's a 0:20:49.440 --> 0:20:53.919 younger guy, different build as well, So I'm hoping, you know, 0:20:54.280 --> 0:20:56.560 it's not a long wait at all signs you go, 0:20:58.000 --> 0:21:00.399 all signs of Oregon over Francisco. Linda Or. That's a 0:21:00.440 --> 0:21:03.320 name is gonna rise back up draftwoards because, as we said, 0:21:03.320 --> 0:21:05.120 not even ruled out for opening day yet. I think 0:21:05.119 --> 0:21:07.280 he won't be their opening day, but he'll be back 0:21:07.600 --> 0:21:10.640 pretty soon after that, So good stuff for Lindor Frankie, 0:21:10.920 --> 0:21:12.400 And I think this is a good spot to get 0:21:12.440 --> 0:21:15.640 him in two, right after Stanton goes, right after Bregman goes. 0:21:15.680 --> 0:21:18.800 I think it makes sense as that hitter off the board, Um, 0:21:18.840 --> 0:21:21.639 you know, Paul Goldschmid Freeman all off the board as well. 0:21:22.200 --> 0:21:25.359 I worry a little bit about the stolen bases. You know, 0:21:25.400 --> 0:21:27.520 obviously he was dealing with a cash train, and you 0:21:27.560 --> 0:21:29.879 know he's still gonna get twenty five to thirty stolen basis. 0:21:29.960 --> 0:21:32.480 Maybe he's you know, closer to twenty low twenties, maybe 0:21:32.520 --> 0:21:34.719 high team, So I worry a little bit about that. 0:21:34.800 --> 0:21:37.320 But again, it all comes down to is he all 0:21:37.359 --> 0:21:39.119 systems go? Is he good to go? I mean, I 0:21:39.400 --> 0:21:41.000 think you would agree with this match. Just let the 0:21:41.000 --> 0:21:42.879 guy rest, Like, don't try and rush him back just 0:21:42.880 --> 0:21:44.760 for the sake of having me for opening Day. And 0:21:44.760 --> 0:21:46.320 I don't think the Indians will do that because they 0:21:46.359 --> 0:21:49.119 realize how pivotal he is to that team, both offensively 0:21:49.119 --> 0:21:52.120 and defensively. Just let the guy rest. Make sure he's 0:21:52.160 --> 0:21:54.840 completely healthy, Like even if it takes two weeks into 0:21:54.920 --> 0:21:57.280 the season, Like, just make sure he's completely healthy. Don't 0:21:57.280 --> 0:21:59.320 try and rush this guy back. And I trust the unions. 0:21:59.320 --> 0:22:01.840 I don't. I don't think there an organization that would 0:22:01.880 --> 0:22:05.840 rush him back. Loves the Indians. I don't know how 0:22:05.880 --> 0:22:07.360 I became an Indians fan, but I'm all in there. 0:22:07.400 --> 0:22:11.600 You're you're a massive, massive, massive Indians fans. Okay, Look 0:22:11.680 --> 0:22:13.440 taking a look. And one of the constant questions which 0:22:13.440 --> 0:22:15.880 we talked about over the weekend, and what I wanted 0:22:15.880 --> 0:22:18.160 to dress now is where does a guy like Vladimir 0:22:18.200 --> 0:22:21.119 Guerrero go? Right? Like? Where does he go across the landscape? 0:22:21.480 --> 0:22:24.199 And in your draft, guys, he went in the middle 0:22:24.280 --> 0:22:27.560 of the sixth round to Team eight. At that point, Matt, 0:22:27.640 --> 0:22:29.439 was he on your radar? I know you picked two 0:22:29.480 --> 0:22:32.200 picks later. Was vladimc Guarrera on your radar that spot? 0:22:32.840 --> 0:22:35.199 I was actually hoping he was gonna be there. I was. 0:22:35.680 --> 0:22:38.600 I didn't think he was gonna make it back Friday night. 0:22:38.680 --> 0:22:41.959 I took him with the second pick in the fifth 0:22:42.040 --> 0:22:45.240 round and he wanted to wait another round. He wasn't 0:22:45.280 --> 0:22:47.680 really into it there. So when you got a partner, 0:22:47.720 --> 0:22:49.960 you gotta deal with a little look. That was my 0:22:50.040 --> 0:22:52.960 first share I got vlad Jr. On Friday night. But 0:22:53.119 --> 0:22:56.159 it was in the fifth round, and you know he 0:22:56.200 --> 0:22:59.000 was going third round, mid third round pretty much all 0:22:59.080 --> 0:23:02.200 draft season. Yeah. Yeah, he has been obviously the oblique 0:23:02.200 --> 0:23:05.400 affecting him. Frank you let him go in that round. 0:23:05.440 --> 0:23:07.960 I know you've kind of decided to say, Hey, I 0:23:07.960 --> 0:23:09.640 don't want to do this thing. I'm gonna let other 0:23:09.640 --> 0:23:12.000 people get involved mostly, and that's that's been your mantro 0:23:12.080 --> 0:23:15.439 th rout draft season. Instead, in that sixth round, you 0:23:15.480 --> 0:23:20.080 wound up taking Roberto your first closer. Closer I'll always 0:23:20.119 --> 0:23:23.000 deal with that, yea. So in the fifth round, Daniel 0:23:23.080 --> 0:23:24.679 Murphy made it to me, which I didn't expect a 0:23:24.680 --> 0:23:26.119 lot of drafts. I've been seeing him go in the 0:23:26.119 --> 0:23:29.119 fourth round. And it's interesting you mentioned the spring before 0:23:29.200 --> 0:23:31.520 Murphy's had a terrible spring. Do you think that contributes 0:23:31.560 --> 0:23:34.560 to him dropping a little bit um Maybe potentially. I 0:23:34.600 --> 0:23:36.880 don't think that it should obviously. I mean, unless there's 0:23:36.920 --> 0:23:39.080 been something about like his knees again that have come 0:23:39.119 --> 0:23:41.560 out that I haven't seen. But again, I haven't seen it. 0:23:41.760 --> 0:23:43.480 And I know Rudy Gamble is someone who was in 0:23:43.520 --> 0:23:45.600 on Daniel Murphy. He was drafting in one of the 0:23:45.600 --> 0:23:47.240 main events right next to me. He ended up taking 0:23:47.280 --> 0:23:49.000 Daniel Murphy in the middle of the fourth round. So 0:23:49.160 --> 0:23:51.080 when I get him at five twelve, I'm feeling pretty 0:23:51.080 --> 0:23:52.960 good about that. We already have the base of power 0:23:53.040 --> 0:23:55.199 with Aaron Judge and Cody Bellens on the team, so 0:23:55.240 --> 0:23:58.280 we wanted to add to the batting average there and look, 0:23:58.320 --> 0:24:01.320 playing in court field, and I not the biggest Daniel 0:24:01.400 --> 0:24:05.480 Murphy fan, but the upside is undeniable. I mean in 0:24:05.560 --> 0:24:09.040 Coors Field, he can easily hit you know, three plus. Um. 0:24:09.040 --> 0:24:11.439 He just needs to stay healthy. And then Roberto as 0:24:11.440 --> 0:24:12.920 soon we take him from the sixth round. The reason 0:24:12.920 --> 0:24:15.560 why we passed on Vladimcbreo Junr is there were a 0:24:15.600 --> 0:24:17.600 third basement that we liked that go later on. We 0:24:17.680 --> 0:24:19.320 ended up with one of those third basement in the 0:24:19.359 --> 0:24:24.240 eighth round, and I figured Greg that I want at 0:24:24.280 --> 0:24:27.080 least one of my top twelve closers, and really the 0:24:27.119 --> 0:24:30.119 cut off for me is Kirby Yates Shawn Doolittle that range, 0:24:30.440 --> 0:24:32.960 and I figured Herby Yates was not gonna make it 0:24:32.960 --> 0:24:34.600 back to me at the end of the seventh round, 0:24:34.600 --> 0:24:36.160 and I ended up being right about that. He didn't 0:24:36.160 --> 0:24:38.520 make it back to me, so ultimately, I wanted to 0:24:38.520 --> 0:24:39.960 lock up one of these guys who I know one's 0:24:39.960 --> 0:24:41.920 gonna have the job for their respective team. So that's 0:24:41.920 --> 0:24:44.160 why we go with Roberto Soona. I have no regrets, 0:24:44.400 --> 0:24:46.400 no regrets at all. Frank walked out of this draft, 0:24:46.400 --> 0:24:51.359 by the way, absolutely loving loving that team. Um that emo, 0:24:51.520 --> 0:24:53.200 I want to get your thoughts on that too. Like, 0:24:54.400 --> 0:24:56.359 I feel like, if if you like your team a 0:24:56.359 --> 0:24:58.280 lot coming out of a fifteen team draft with this 0:24:58.359 --> 0:25:02.480 many good players, something probably went wrong, right, Should I 0:25:02.520 --> 0:25:05.800 really like my team this much? I mean there's some 0:25:05.920 --> 0:25:07.800 people that will say, oh, I hate my team and 0:25:07.840 --> 0:25:09.439 they always do good, and there's other people that I 0:25:09.440 --> 0:25:11.840 love it. It's look, I think it's a good thing 0:25:11.920 --> 0:25:14.960 to walk out saying how much you like your team. 0:25:15.119 --> 0:25:18.320 It means you executed your plan pretty much. So I 0:25:18.359 --> 0:25:21.520 think that's a positive And I'd rather walk out being 0:25:21.560 --> 0:25:25.720 positive than having a negativeness spin on it. It makes 0:25:25.760 --> 0:25:27.840 me feel a little better. There you go. I mean, 0:25:28.080 --> 0:25:30.840 does you want to feel more positive than negative? Of course? Um, 0:25:31.000 --> 0:25:33.359 I just don't want to like feel too cocky or anything, right, Like, 0:25:33.400 --> 0:25:40.399 this is my first time, but what's really Saturday was 0:25:40.560 --> 0:25:44.359 the fun and now once this season starts, that's gonna 0:25:44.359 --> 0:25:48.879 be the grind, you know, the fan process. It's it's 0:25:49.040 --> 0:25:52.400 really grueling and it's really tough and having to get 0:25:52.400 --> 0:25:56.960 those right prices and deciding how much you're willing to invest. Uh, 0:25:56.960 --> 0:26:00.840 Sunday Nights will have a whole new form of healthy. 0:26:01.359 --> 0:26:03.520 I mean it already has been, right Greg. Yes, I'm 0:26:03.560 --> 0:26:05.879 used to working with partners like we we do gs 0:26:05.960 --> 0:26:08.160 T bids together. You and Florio might need to handle 0:26:08.160 --> 0:26:09.760 that a little bit more this year because I'm gonna 0:26:09.760 --> 0:26:11.960 be doing my main event bids. I was just I 0:26:11.960 --> 0:26:15.119 have g d D bids, So yeah, man, like I realized, 0:26:15.160 --> 0:26:16.720 you know what I was getting myself into. And I 0:26:16.760 --> 0:26:19.679 know how like long and rooling the bidding process is 0:26:20.240 --> 0:26:22.080 because you know, we did it all last year when 0:26:22.080 --> 0:26:24.479 I was teaming up with these guys. So it's just 0:26:24.560 --> 0:26:26.200 it's another league. They have to do it too. Obviously 0:26:26.200 --> 0:26:28.560 there's a little bit more on the line here, but yeah, 0:26:28.600 --> 0:26:31.040 definitely I hear you, man Like, the especially for you, 0:26:31.040 --> 0:26:33.480 I don't know, like you must spend your entire Sunday. 0:26:33.600 --> 0:26:35.720 It must take you ten hours set all your fab bids. Man, 0:26:35.760 --> 0:26:38.720 I don't know, I mean what I try to do 0:26:38.840 --> 0:26:42.640 is prior to Sunday, have everything kind of set up, 0:26:42.680 --> 0:26:45.359 and then you start tweaking those last couple of hours. 0:26:47.160 --> 0:26:49.160 At one point, I try and cut myself off if 0:26:49.160 --> 0:26:52.160 there's no news because I just keep increasing my bed. 0:26:52.280 --> 0:26:55.920 So I try. And yeah, that's something that I do too, 0:26:56.040 --> 0:26:57.840 you know, throughout the week while things are going on, 0:26:57.960 --> 0:26:59.760 I might just throw a bid in just so I 0:26:59.760 --> 0:27:01.719 don't forget about it and remind myself of it on 0:27:01.720 --> 0:27:04.399 Sunday and then off outside then I still want this 0:27:04.480 --> 0:27:06.160 and then I'll up the bid to the exact price 0:27:06.200 --> 0:27:08.040 that I wanted to. But that's something I'll actually do, 0:27:08.119 --> 0:27:09.520 and I think that's a good thing to talk about, 0:27:09.520 --> 0:27:11.960 for like in season management, when you see something that's 0:27:11.960 --> 0:27:14.720 going on throughout a week and you have only waivers, 0:27:14.720 --> 0:27:17.400 go once on Sundays to set a bid. Make sure 0:27:17.400 --> 0:27:19.119 you remember to go check it out again towards the 0:27:19.160 --> 0:27:21.840 end of the week, obviously, but just like set the 0:27:21.880 --> 0:27:23.800 bid and then you can remind yourself later on why 0:27:23.800 --> 0:27:25.199 did I like this guy? And then you kind of 0:27:25.320 --> 0:27:27.359 go through your thought processes there. So for me, so 0:27:27.440 --> 0:27:29.400 I'm so used to playing in daily leaves and daily 0:27:29.400 --> 0:27:31.040 transactions where you can go make a move every night, 0:27:31.080 --> 0:27:33.040 whether the waivers are going through overnight or not. That 0:27:33.119 --> 0:27:34.960 the weekly thing just starts me for a loop. By 0:27:35.000 --> 0:27:36.800 Sunday night, the last thing I want to do is 0:27:36.800 --> 0:27:38.520 go back with you and Floria all these bids Like 0:27:38.560 --> 0:27:41.439 it's just like I remember, it's a lot of you know, 0:27:41.520 --> 0:27:44.359 me up at eleven o'clock doing these bids by myself, 0:27:44.440 --> 0:27:48.280 and I just was not interested. So to me, it's grueling. 0:27:48.280 --> 0:27:50.679 It's a grueling. It's grueling. It's grueling because it's all 0:27:50.720 --> 0:27:56.359 guys that suck number one, and you're so for me, 0:27:56.440 --> 0:27:58.200 I think the way you have to do it is 0:27:58.240 --> 0:28:01.080 every day, like every warning we come to work, like 0:28:01.119 --> 0:28:03.159 go over guys that we possibly want. Kind of we 0:28:03.200 --> 0:28:05.040 did in basketball. It was kind of easier because it 0:28:05.080 --> 0:28:09.919 was it was twice a week, um, and to me 0:28:10.080 --> 0:28:11.840 to do every day put a bit in if you 0:28:11.880 --> 0:28:13.120 want to change it on Sunday night, I can at 0:28:13.160 --> 0:28:15.639 least already in there. At least it's already there, otherwise 0:28:15.640 --> 0:28:18.480 I'm gonna lose my mind. That's and and you're in 0:28:18.680 --> 0:28:21.400 seventeen leagues, Frank, I'm gonna be in like three or four. 0:28:25.560 --> 0:28:27.080 Do you have like an official account what it's gonna 0:28:27.119 --> 0:28:30.879 end up looking like Matt probably like fan, it's probably 0:28:30.880 --> 0:28:34.320 gonna come close to about nine I think tend the 0:28:34.400 --> 0:28:38.080 most and like did you have champions? Those are manageable 0:28:38.120 --> 0:28:40.400 because you just have to set lineups and you can 0:28:40.400 --> 0:28:43.560 take care of that. As far as the fan goes. 0:28:43.600 --> 0:28:45.400 I keep telling myself, I want to get down to 0:28:45.520 --> 0:28:49.240 like five six the most, but it's just tough. But 0:28:49.360 --> 0:28:51.840 luckily I have you know, I have Andy partner with 0:28:51.920 --> 0:28:56.160 me on on I think with his three teams, I 0:28:56.200 --> 0:28:59.440 have him. I have Christophericaro doing two teams with me. 0:28:59.560 --> 0:29:03.239 So you know, it does help out when your partners 0:29:02.840 --> 0:29:05.680 that Matt had multiple checklist of all of his leagues 0:29:05.720 --> 0:29:08.560 to make sure he remembers that because you have to man, 0:29:08.920 --> 0:29:14.800 you actually have expensive it does get expensive. All right, Um, 0:29:14.920 --> 0:29:16.560 let me get back into the draft for because that's 0:29:16.600 --> 0:29:19.360 ultimately what people care about. Um, Frank, I'm gonna go, 0:29:19.360 --> 0:29:22.880 do you here what surprised you in the draft? Give 0:29:22.920 --> 0:29:24.400 me a name that people want to know where they 0:29:24.440 --> 0:29:26.560 went draft, and you're like, here he went here, and 0:29:26.560 --> 0:29:29.560 this is kind of a surprise. It's not necessarily a surprise, 0:29:29.600 --> 0:29:31.240 but I think it's something that we should talk about 0:29:31.280 --> 0:29:33.000 because we haven't talked about it. We haven't been on 0:29:33.000 --> 0:29:36.000 the air since this news came out, and it's regarding 0:29:36.000 --> 0:29:38.240 Walker Bueller. And I'm very interested to get Matt's thoughts 0:29:38.240 --> 0:29:40.040 on this as well, because he was very much so 0:29:40.080 --> 0:29:43.560 in on Walker Bueller. Came out Wednesday Thursday last week 0:29:43.640 --> 0:29:46.280 kind of went under the radar that his arm just 0:29:46.360 --> 0:29:49.240 quote doesn't feel right. It's not necessarily an injury, but 0:29:49.320 --> 0:29:51.080 he just says he doesn't feel right. Whether it's a 0:29:51.120 --> 0:29:53.840 dead arm phase that he's going through. Remember the d 0:29:53.840 --> 0:29:55.960 he's jumped from last year. He went from nine and 0:29:56.000 --> 0:29:58.960 twenty seventeen to up around you know one seventy six 0:29:59.040 --> 0:30:02.000 last year with the host season included, so a pretty 0:30:02.040 --> 0:30:05.240 big something there. He's getting a late later start than 0:30:05.280 --> 0:30:08.400 everyone else here in Dodgers camp. He hasn't actually made 0:30:08.440 --> 0:30:10.400 a spring training start yet. I believe that's coming in 0:30:10.480 --> 0:30:14.080 the next few days. He goes at pick three eleven, 0:30:14.200 --> 0:30:16.640 one pick before me. He was a name that we 0:30:16.760 --> 0:30:19.240 might have considered if he were still there on the board. 0:30:19.520 --> 0:30:21.560 And I wrote about this on my Patreon, was that 0:30:22.000 --> 0:30:24.840 in the month of February he went His ADP was 0:30:24.880 --> 0:30:28.040 around pick thirty six over the weekend we where we've 0:30:28.040 --> 0:30:30.520 had all these main event drafts going on. We have 0:30:30.560 --> 0:30:32.880 a ton of NFBC data. Since the news has come 0:30:32.920 --> 0:30:36.640 out regarding Walker Bueller, his ADP is still right around 0:30:36.680 --> 0:30:40.120 thirty five. So that tells you the high stakes players 0:30:40.200 --> 0:30:42.680 are not really worried about this update. When it comes 0:30:42.680 --> 0:30:45.160 to Walker Bueller, Matt, where are you at on him 0:30:45.160 --> 0:30:47.000 and where have you seen him go in drafts? And 0:30:47.520 --> 0:30:49.040 is he someone that you're kind of avoiding now with 0:30:49.080 --> 0:30:52.280 this news that came out. No excuse me, I'm not 0:30:52.320 --> 0:30:55.680 avoiding him. When the news first came out, I was 0:30:55.720 --> 0:30:57.640 taken aback a bit when I started up, I got 0:30:57.640 --> 0:31:02.320 my god. But if anything would have been wrong at all, 0:31:02.680 --> 0:31:05.000 say early on when you had this dead arm, as 0:31:05.000 --> 0:31:08.280 they were saying, if there would have been anything that 0:31:08.320 --> 0:31:11.560 would have gave them the slightest bit of caution, he 0:31:11.600 --> 0:31:13.880 would have been shut down. This is there, this is 0:31:13.920 --> 0:31:17.240 their future, this is there hopefully like next Kershort type 0:31:17.280 --> 0:31:19.880 of a picture. And the fact that he was never 0:31:19.920 --> 0:31:23.200 shut down, he was just slow walked and all that. Oh, 0:31:23.280 --> 0:31:25.520 I think he is actually good because then once he 0:31:25.560 --> 0:31:27.440 coets it in they can pretty much let him go 0:31:28.080 --> 0:31:30.960 and maybe you know, manage them differently or around the 0:31:31.000 --> 0:31:33.680 All Star break and maybe in September we'll see about that. 0:31:34.120 --> 0:31:37.080 But no, I think Ryan got a got a great 0:31:37.120 --> 0:31:39.440 deal with Bularett eleven. I would have taken him with 0:31:39.440 --> 0:31:41.400 no hesitation then, all right, So so there you go. 0:31:41.560 --> 0:31:43.720 So players like Matt who has the money in they're 0:31:43.920 --> 0:31:47.920 not all that concerned by the report. So that's why 0:31:47.960 --> 0:31:50.920 nothing's changed. Yeah, and here's the official ADP was. In 0:31:50.920 --> 0:31:53.120 the month of February, his ADP was thirty nine point 0:31:53.120 --> 0:31:57.040 three five in the NFBC. Over this weekend, his ADP 0:31:57.200 --> 0:31:59.560 was thirty eight point five, So actually moves up slide 0:31:59.560 --> 0:32:02.719 a big flight a little bit there. Thirty one men 0:32:02.800 --> 0:32:06.320 pick forty three max pit with an average auction value 0:32:06.440 --> 0:32:09.160 of twenty eight dollars, So he's right in that mix, 0:32:09.240 --> 0:32:11.400 as you know, one of those top twelve to fifteen 0:32:11.680 --> 0:32:13.520 pictures in terms of where he's going and how much 0:32:13.520 --> 0:32:15.760 people are paying for him an auction st Matt, you 0:32:15.840 --> 0:32:18.600 tweeted before about your boy and I know I'm diving 0:32:18.640 --> 0:32:21.680 deep now. You tweeted before about Martine Perez, how you 0:32:21.800 --> 0:32:24.520 drive to be four out of six leagues and Martine 0:32:24.520 --> 0:32:26.800 Perez to do that. You're getting for nothing. I mean 0:32:26.840 --> 0:32:30.000 it's costing absolutely nothing. Seven round. You drafted him in 0:32:30.440 --> 0:32:32.120 uh in the league with Frank in the main event. 0:32:32.400 --> 0:32:35.120 He's a guy was on Texas forever. He was a 0:32:35.160 --> 0:32:38.920 guy that you would stream in in weekly or daily leagues. 0:32:38.920 --> 0:32:40.960 You wouldn't really expect all that much to start pitcher, 0:32:41.360 --> 0:32:43.760 but you're buying in him clearly a little bit more. 0:32:43.840 --> 0:32:46.120 Drafted in on four of your six teams you drafted 0:32:46.120 --> 0:32:49.680 this weekend. What makes you buy into Martine Perez? Yeah, 0:32:49.680 --> 0:32:52.520 who's been player. I never liked player. I think I 0:32:52.640 --> 0:32:54.880 barely ever owned if I did. You know, if he's 0:32:55.200 --> 0:32:58.480 like desperation where I just needed it. But when you 0:32:58.560 --> 0:33:03.200 see the increased veloss and you see his uh just 0:33:03.280 --> 0:33:05.320 everything like the wind up at all that did the 0:33:05.560 --> 0:33:08.000 side by by side with like him and Johan Santana 0:33:08.720 --> 0:33:11.680 and they delivered it was it was pretty sick. Uh. 0:33:11.680 --> 0:33:14.200 He's been, you know, getting tutored by him a little 0:33:14.240 --> 0:33:15.960 life seen in the bullpen where he's trying to show 0:33:16.040 --> 0:33:19.040 him to change up and work on a couple of things. Look, 0:33:19.080 --> 0:33:21.720 you have to have a couple of guys where you're 0:33:21.760 --> 0:33:24.160 willing to take a shot on and and place a 0:33:24.160 --> 0:33:26.760 lottery take it on. He should be one of them 0:33:26.800 --> 0:33:29.560 for the people that will be drafted this weekend. Uh, 0:33:29.680 --> 0:33:32.560 Kyle Wright and Atlanta's looked fantastic. I think only got 0:33:32.600 --> 0:33:34.920 one or maybe two of him this week, but I 0:33:34.920 --> 0:33:37.040 would love to a gamble on him. And the other 0:33:37.080 --> 0:33:40.480 guy is is a Marlin. Uh. And you're not gonna 0:33:40.480 --> 0:33:43.160 get wins, but don't worry about that. It just works out, 0:33:43.240 --> 0:33:45.600 you know. Sometimes you know your big guy doesn't get 0:33:45.600 --> 0:33:47.560 it and you get wins where from other places where 0:33:47.600 --> 0:33:51.040 you never thought you would. But Pablo Lopez, there is 0:33:51.080 --> 0:33:54.000 a guy that everybody's raving about. I was actually piste 0:33:54.000 --> 0:33:57.600 off in the the fact of the auction I had yesterday. 0:33:58.360 --> 0:34:00.360 I was a pick away from me. I was actually 0:34:00.440 --> 0:34:04.480 writing his name down on my change like the fourth 0:34:04.560 --> 0:34:07.760 round of reserves or the third round of reserves, and 0:34:07.800 --> 0:34:09.600 the guys took Pablo Lopez, and I was like, are 0:34:09.600 --> 0:34:13.239 you kidding me? So, you know, it's funny how these 0:34:13.239 --> 0:34:15.759 guys l you have to have some lottery tickets. There's 0:34:15.800 --> 0:34:19.040 your there's your name etching in your kitchen table. Greg 0:34:19.080 --> 0:34:23.040 Sussman has a few legends, would say, Pablo Lopez makes 0:34:23.040 --> 0:34:24.360 me feel pretty good because I got him in the 0:34:24.360 --> 0:34:27.120 twenty ninth round. Yeah, I was picked. I was gonna 0:34:27.120 --> 0:34:30.000 get him, uh in that round. But you know, I 0:34:33.000 --> 0:34:35.000 think there's a few moralins pitchers that are actually flying 0:34:35.080 --> 0:34:37.240 unto the radar right now because they pitched for the Marlins. 0:34:37.560 --> 0:34:39.480 I know Trevor Richards is one that has been climbing 0:34:39.520 --> 0:34:41.640 up draft boards and rightfully so, I mean, this is 0:34:41.680 --> 0:34:43.920 a guy that maybe you should pay attention to what 0:34:43.960 --> 0:34:45.920 he's doing in the spring because you know he's a 0:34:45.960 --> 0:34:48.399 younger starting he's actually I don't know if he's young 0:34:48.760 --> 0:34:51.760 that is it hasn't he had like a weird um 0:34:52.360 --> 0:34:54.440 like paths to the major Trevor Richards. I think he 0:34:54.480 --> 0:34:56.080 was like out of baseball and then he came back. 0:34:56.080 --> 0:34:59.200 But I know he has this wipe out changeup that's 0:34:59.200 --> 0:35:01.799 just like ridiculous. Is what he needed to improve? Like 0:35:01.800 --> 0:35:06.799 a third pitch um fall. But what do you have 0:35:06.840 --> 0:35:09.000 on Trevor Richards, Because I know he's someone that people 0:35:09.000 --> 0:35:11.840 have been excited about two for the Marlins. Yeah, I 0:35:11.880 --> 0:35:13.520 think it's a lot to do with the fastball, because 0:35:13.800 --> 0:35:15.520 they said, I think he's got like a batting like 0:35:15.520 --> 0:35:18.600 a batting practice fastball that was just getting torched. He 0:35:18.680 --> 0:35:21.680 was working on a couple of things. So yeah, something 0:35:21.719 --> 0:35:24.960 that I don't think most of us thought at this point, 0:35:25.360 --> 0:35:27.279 you know, a couple of months back being involved with 0:35:27.320 --> 0:35:30.520 Marlins pitches. But you mentioned Richards. Caleb Smith was a 0:35:30.520 --> 0:35:33.600 guy that was actually good when healthy last year, but 0:35:33.760 --> 0:35:39.480 unfortunately couldn't stay healthy. So you know he's somebody's uh 0:35:39.560 --> 0:35:41.960 let's and I'll throw another name, like I got Derek 0:35:42.000 --> 0:35:45.799 Holland yesterday for a buck. You know, Dutch Oven. He's 0:35:45.880 --> 0:35:49.319 he's got that ballpark to protect him. And you know 0:35:49.400 --> 0:35:51.359 at the end game, you're gonna have to get, you know, 0:35:51.480 --> 0:35:54.120 some backup arms. You don't want, you know, you don't 0:35:54.120 --> 0:35:56.080 want to put guys in there you're gonna blow you up, 0:35:56.440 --> 0:35:57.920 but you know you want to have guys you can 0:35:57.960 --> 0:36:01.520 maybe wait and see on it as well. Trevor Richards 0:36:01.600 --> 0:36:03.120 last year was someone that I was looking at because 0:36:03.120 --> 0:36:05.200 he had a high groundball rate in the minors. He 0:36:05.239 --> 0:36:08.080 had to strikeouts, so farthens bring us twenty strikeouts in 0:36:08.160 --> 0:36:09.839 nineteen and a third. Like, he's a name that I'm 0:36:09.840 --> 0:36:13.359 paying attention to have some younger starting pictures in the Marlins. Look, 0:36:13.480 --> 0:36:15.879 it's gonna be. It's a huge park to pitch in two, 0:36:16.000 --> 0:36:18.799 so it's a good environment for pictures to be out 0:36:18.840 --> 0:36:21.600 there in Marlins Park. Sandy Alcantara another one I just 0:36:21.640 --> 0:36:23.200 want to pay attention to, just because we had the 0:36:23.239 --> 0:36:26.600 prospect pedigree. He came over in that trade with the St. 0:36:26.600 --> 0:36:29.560 Louis Cardinals. Four Marcelo Zuna. So again, just a few 0:36:29.640 --> 0:36:32.239 names to pay attention to. Be honest, I need to 0:36:32.320 --> 0:36:35.040 learn more about Pablo Littletez. But I'm I'm with Matt saying, 0:36:35.040 --> 0:36:36.600 like I know, a lot of people have been talking 0:36:36.680 --> 0:36:39.200 him up, so he's He's a guy that you just 0:36:39.280 --> 0:36:40.800 take a lottery ticket at the end of one of 0:36:40.840 --> 0:36:43.160 these drafts. You're playing like an NL only or a 0:36:43.200 --> 0:36:46.000 fifteen team mixed. You just take tight in your drafts. 0:36:46.280 --> 0:36:48.319 See if he turns out Another lottery tip you want 0:36:48.320 --> 0:36:49.960 to talk about. Ticket that we want to talk about 0:36:50.160 --> 0:36:52.279 is in Pittsburgh. Has it made an interesting announcement today? 0:36:52.320 --> 0:36:54.880 We'll break that down when we come back.

Matt one of 0:40:11.920 --> 0:40:14.320 the names we talked about over the weekend, frank and 0:40:14.360 --> 0:40:16.600 I have talked about a lot, and you actually wound 0:40:16.680 --> 0:40:21.960 up drafting him once and he lets you was Mike Mustakis, who's, 0:40:22.320 --> 0:40:25.480 as Frankie predicted, ADP is rising now that he's on 0:40:25.520 --> 0:40:27.480 a team, Now that we know what position he's playing, 0:40:27.640 --> 0:40:30.920 the ADP has now risen to be much higher. Number 0:40:31.640 --> 0:40:33.880 you like, Michael is a lot. Do you think that 0:40:33.960 --> 0:40:37.160 number even gets higher next weekend? For you in Vegas, 0:40:38.800 --> 0:40:41.520 um may mean maybe a little higher. I'm not gonna 0:40:41.520 --> 0:40:43.800 go I'm not gonna jump of another couple of rounds. 0:40:43.920 --> 0:40:46.040 But if if I like the fact that he's most 0:40:46.080 --> 0:40:49.120 likely gonna have due eligibility, if he's going to be there, 0:40:49.160 --> 0:40:51.600 you know, second baseman. So now you have a middle 0:40:51.640 --> 0:40:54.279 and a corner position and a guy with what are 0:40:54.280 --> 0:40:57.720 you home run potential who's not gonna have say Joey 0:40:57.760 --> 0:41:01.600 Gallows batting average, but could hit your forty home runs. 0:41:02.600 --> 0:41:05.680 And I look that bull pup left handed power plays. 0:41:06.000 --> 0:41:09.200 He's gonna have a full season there, and I think 0:41:09.200 --> 0:41:13.560 you have to be excited about that has been your guy. 0:41:13.600 --> 0:41:15.160 This is kind of where you expected him to go, 0:41:15.360 --> 0:41:18.279 right Yeah, I didn't know why for most of the 0:41:18.360 --> 0:41:21.400 off season. I realized he signed a little bit later on. 0:41:21.440 --> 0:41:23.239 But once he signed, I mean he already should have 0:41:23.239 --> 0:41:25.919 started started to climb up draft boards. Then I felt 0:41:25.920 --> 0:41:27.719 like he was undervalued for a lot of the draft season. 0:41:27.760 --> 0:41:29.160 Now we're starting to see him go in the ninth 0:41:29.200 --> 0:41:31.759 round of fifteen team drafts, and I think that makes 0:41:31.800 --> 0:41:33.320 a lot of sense. I wouldn't be surprised if he 0:41:33.400 --> 0:41:35.839 jumps up another round here up until the eighth round again. 0:41:36.080 --> 0:41:37.759 The things that I've said about Mustaki is he hits 0:41:37.760 --> 0:41:39.920 the ball in the air. He actually surprisingly makes a 0:41:39.960 --> 0:41:42.040 lot of contact. He only strikes out like fifteen sixties 0:41:42.200 --> 0:41:44.320 percent of the time. He's gonna be in a great lineup. 0:41:44.360 --> 0:41:46.440 I want as much exposure to the Brewers lineup as 0:41:46.480 --> 0:41:48.799 I could possibly get. He's gonna play every day. He's 0:41:48.800 --> 0:41:51.520 gonna have dual eligibility. I don't really know what's not 0:41:51.560 --> 0:41:53.480 to like with Mustakis. It's not like he has a 0:41:53.520 --> 0:41:55.759 problem with splits either where you know, if you're looking 0:41:55.800 --> 0:41:58.319 at him versus Travis Shaw side by side, Shaw has 0:41:58.360 --> 0:42:01.319 actually had issues against left hand pitching. Stocks has been 0:42:01.360 --> 0:42:03.000 able to hold his own a little bit better. So 0:42:03.239 --> 0:42:05.399 he's gonna play every single day. I don't know what's 0:42:05.400 --> 0:42:08.200 not to like. I mean, I think the floor. I 0:42:08.239 --> 0:42:11.719 mean the floor is eight ish home runs. Remember a 0:42:11.719 --> 0:42:14.160 couple of years ago, get thirty five runs in Kaufman Stadium. 0:42:14.600 --> 0:42:17.600 The upside could be forty bombs in that lineup, which 0:42:17.800 --> 0:42:19.400 if he hits forty home runs, you know the RBIs 0:42:19.400 --> 0:42:21.799 are gonna be there too. So I love Mustakis. I don't. 0:42:21.800 --> 0:42:23.440 I don't know why the market has been slow so 0:42:23.520 --> 0:42:26.400 slow to catch up. I absolutely love Mike Mustakas as well. 0:42:26.440 --> 0:42:28.279 I thought it was no brainer and Matt like. I 0:42:28.280 --> 0:42:30.800 actually like Mike Mustakas a lot more than Josh Donaldson 0:42:30.840 --> 0:42:32.640 who took around earlier. And I know it was an 0:42:32.640 --> 0:42:36.080 Andy Saxton pick, but Frank and I together are completely 0:42:36.120 --> 0:42:39.280 off of Donaldson, a guy that has not been healthy. 0:42:39.320 --> 0:42:40.960 We know what he can give you the upside, and 0:42:41.000 --> 0:42:44.480 I know you're playing for an overall, but the Donaldson's 0:42:44.520 --> 0:42:47.799 pick surprised me a bit at that spot. Well, I look, 0:42:48.560 --> 0:42:51.120 if he's healthy, and he could be a you know, 0:42:51.320 --> 0:42:54.080 he could be a first round changing around potential. He 0:42:54.080 --> 0:42:56.279 could basically an all or nothing is what you're gonna 0:42:56.280 --> 0:42:59.040 get from Josh Donaldson is either gonna be back or 0:42:59.160 --> 0:43:01.680 he's gonna be done. So at that point I was 0:43:01.719 --> 0:43:06.560 looking to possibly take Luis Castillo there, uh, both of 0:43:06.640 --> 0:43:11.560 the starting rotation, or get a closure. But you know, 0:43:11.680 --> 0:43:14.720 I really wanted to stocks there and then coming around, 0:43:14.800 --> 0:43:17.279 but he was. He made it back to us, so 0:43:17.360 --> 0:43:20.560 I was very happy about that. But look, Donaldson doesn't 0:43:20.560 --> 0:43:22.759 have the potential. The one thing I said about mustokers, 0:43:22.800 --> 0:43:26.520 and sure Travis Shure should never bet against the left hander. 0:43:26.800 --> 0:43:29.040 It's it's insane when you when you do the splits 0:43:29.080 --> 0:43:32.560 there and you know how good he is Rich's right handing. 0:43:33.000 --> 0:43:37.640 He just should never see a left handing. Yeah, I mean, 0:43:37.760 --> 0:43:39.320 based on what he did last year, I mean, I 0:43:39.360 --> 0:43:41.080 will throw this out. I know two years ago he 0:43:41.120 --> 0:43:43.600 was actually better against left handed pitching, travish All that is. 0:43:43.640 --> 0:43:45.799 So that's why I was buying into him last season, 0:43:45.800 --> 0:43:47.760 greg As, I thought he was taking the necessary steps 0:43:47.800 --> 0:43:50.719 to actually be competent against left handed pitching, and then 0:43:50.760 --> 0:43:52.960 at All snowballed last year and he was just absolutely 0:43:52.960 --> 0:43:55.280 brutal against lefties. You know, if you look at the ops, 0:43:55.360 --> 0:43:57.960 the waiter runs created plush. I mean, it's just he's 0:43:58.000 --> 0:43:59.560 an elite hitter against right hees. I mean, he's just 0:43:59.560 --> 0:44:03.040 absolutely barbage against lefty. So I agree when it comes 0:44:03.040 --> 0:44:05.319 to Travis Shaw that I know, you're a you're a 0:44:05.320 --> 0:44:07.240 Shane Bieber guy, and he's a he's a hype player 0:44:07.360 --> 0:44:10.120 this uh this draft season, especially based on what he's 0:44:10.120 --> 0:44:11.640 doing in the spring training. If you want to look 0:44:11.680 --> 0:44:14.000 at spring training, I mean he's another guy here. I 0:44:14.040 --> 0:44:15.960 talked about the Indians a lot because they know how 0:44:15.960 --> 0:44:18.120 to develop starting pitchers, and it looks like he's just 0:44:18.480 --> 0:44:20.799 another one of these starting pitchers who's ready to take 0:44:20.800 --> 0:44:24.000 that step. He goes pick one three here, he goes 0:44:24.040 --> 0:44:26.600 in between when you take Donaldson and then when you 0:44:26.600 --> 0:44:29.319 took Mustokis was he in consideration when you were in 0:44:29.320 --> 0:44:31.440 that eighth round? And and would he have made that 0:44:31.840 --> 0:44:34.560 stocks picked harder on you guys? Uh? In the ninth round? 0:44:34.600 --> 0:44:37.239 Like would you have actually considered Shane Bieber there? It 0:44:37.280 --> 0:44:39.759 would have made it a lot harder. Uh. And he's 0:44:39.800 --> 0:44:44.200 not a Biber believer. We had that conversation yesterday when 0:44:44.200 --> 0:44:47.120 he wouldn't let me take Biber, and that's when I 0:44:47.200 --> 0:44:54.000 jumped christ Paddock. So we uh, we definitely have discussed Biber, 0:44:54.040 --> 0:44:57.879 but we had two different opinions on him. So when 0:44:57.880 --> 0:45:00.000 you have a partner and I'm in enough leagues where 0:45:00.000 --> 0:45:02.160 I can get him, I was trying to persuade him. 0:45:02.200 --> 0:45:07.400 I was unsuccessful. He tried, and I'm sitting here at 0:45:07.400 --> 0:45:09.800 the end of because I considered Biber in the eighth round, Greig, 0:45:10.160 --> 0:45:13.640 but I took Justin Turner because and again I don't 0:45:13.680 --> 0:45:17.400 regret taking Turner because then Donaldson goes, then who Stockus goes, 0:45:17.680 --> 0:45:19.319 And my thinking at the time was, if I don't 0:45:19.320 --> 0:45:21.840 take Justin Turner here in the eighth round, then I 0:45:21.880 --> 0:45:23.680 don't know if I'm gonna end up loving who I 0:45:23.760 --> 0:45:25.560 end up with my third basement, because I thought that 0:45:25.600 --> 0:45:27.600 there was a chance who stock Us would go. And 0:45:27.640 --> 0:45:29.400 you know, I'm not a big Josh Donaldson guy. I 0:45:29.400 --> 0:45:32.279 hear what Matt saying, you're playing for an overall. I mean, 0:45:32.280 --> 0:45:34.160 he does have upside, but I think I see the 0:45:34.200 --> 0:45:36.240 downside a little bit more when it comes to Donaldson. 0:45:36.280 --> 0:45:38.320 So I take Turner in the eighth. But Bieber was 0:45:38.360 --> 0:45:40.920 a guy that I was actually heavily considering there and 0:45:40.920 --> 0:45:42.319 then in the ninth they end up getting to knock 0:45:42.360 --> 0:45:45.120 as my third starting pitcher, but really really really thought 0:45:45.120 --> 0:45:47.280 about taking Bieber in the eighth. It's so interesting because 0:45:47.320 --> 0:45:49.399 for me, one of the things I've tried to learn 0:45:49.440 --> 0:45:51.640 this weekend is where these guys go, Like where are 0:45:51.680 --> 0:45:54.400 these hype type of players go? And I asked everybody 0:45:54.520 --> 0:45:57.320 about pad Ache, and I asked everybody about uh Lizardo 0:45:57.480 --> 0:46:00.160 and Shane Baber is another one where you know, went 0:46:00.200 --> 0:46:02.960 in the ninth round. As you said, in the first draft, 0:46:03.000 --> 0:46:05.080 he goes in the ninth round of your draft. He 0:46:05.120 --> 0:46:07.880 goes um in the third draft, he goes where probably 0:46:07.920 --> 0:46:10.200 the ninth round, in the end of the eighth round, right, 0:46:10.200 --> 0:46:12.640 So that spot clearly to Shane ever went around pick. 0:46:14.160 --> 0:46:17.440 So that's helping me and should help you as somebody 0:46:17.440 --> 0:46:19.200 that if you want Shane Bieber and you're in the 0:46:19.200 --> 0:46:21.239 fifteen team league, you gotta take in the eighth, ninth round. 0:46:21.360 --> 0:46:23.279 That's it. That's where he goes. If you're in a 0:46:23.480 --> 0:46:25.400 standard twelve team league, or you can go tenth to 0:46:25.400 --> 0:46:28.960 eleven probably, But I tried to learn this weekend more 0:46:28.960 --> 0:46:32.200 than anything, where guys were going where the experts felt 0:46:32.239 --> 0:46:34.480 it was important to go. Now, it doesn't always work 0:46:34.520 --> 0:46:37.360 like that. Right In Draft three, for instance, A J. 0:46:37.560 --> 0:46:39.840 Pollock went in the middle of the eighth round. You 0:46:39.880 --> 0:46:42.120 guys took a mat in the middle of the sixth round. 0:46:42.600 --> 0:46:44.680 What are you high on A J. Pollock or you 0:46:44.719 --> 0:46:46.040 just thought it was good value there? What was the 0:46:46.040 --> 0:46:48.840 deal with A J. Pollock? I've always been an A. J. 0:46:49.000 --> 0:46:52.400 Pollock guy. I love the skill set. Health has always 0:46:52.400 --> 0:46:56.240 been the issue. I I do like him at Dodger Stadium. 0:46:56.400 --> 0:46:58.560 I think, you know, SIUs put a great piece together 0:46:58.600 --> 0:47:02.240 about you know, driving us and stuff out there, and 0:47:02.800 --> 0:47:05.080 he's a guy that has what what I'm looking for. 0:47:05.239 --> 0:47:08.480 I really wanted Twig in the fifth, but initially Jane 0:47:08.560 --> 0:47:10.239 Child was gonna take him. Man, he's trying to tell 0:47:10.280 --> 0:47:12.759 me he's not. He's got two outfields already. I said, 0:47:12.760 --> 0:47:15.719 there's no way Child's passing it up a Puig. We 0:47:15.840 --> 0:47:19.520 got Doll and I wanted another player like that, So 0:47:19.600 --> 0:47:22.240 I got Dollan Pollock to add on to a Cooner 0:47:22.280 --> 0:47:25.080 and Lindor. And that's the skill set that I'm looking 0:47:25.120 --> 0:47:28.040 for now. Frank he rings the theme here with with 0:47:28.080 --> 0:47:30.640 Matt's team. To Greg, I mean, there's injury risk, but 0:47:30.680 --> 0:47:32.879 there's a big upside because that's what you've heard about. 0:47:32.880 --> 0:47:35.600 Doll is all right. Well, his downside he's he hasn't 0:47:35.600 --> 0:47:38.000 been able to stay healthy. But if he's hitting clean 0:47:38.080 --> 0:47:40.600 up every single day for Colorado, he has the ability 0:47:40.680 --> 0:47:42.759 to hit dirty home runs and steal you know, ten 0:47:42.800 --> 0:47:45.520 of fifteen cases. So it's very clear here, Matt, is 0:47:45.560 --> 0:47:47.960 that something that you knew coming in or you are 0:47:47.960 --> 0:47:49.600 you a little bit more risk averse you're willing to 0:47:49.640 --> 0:47:52.000 take these risks because you take Lindoor in the second, 0:47:52.160 --> 0:47:54.680 we know what his upside is. Synderguard again, you know 0:47:54.719 --> 0:47:57.200 what the upside is Paxton. It seems like there's a 0:47:57.280 --> 0:48:00.160 real theme here where if these guys hit, you have 0:48:00.200 --> 0:48:02.319 a chance for some big money, but you also don't 0:48:02.320 --> 0:48:04.319 know they're like you're getting them at a discount because 0:48:04.320 --> 0:48:07.239 they do have that those injury risk backgrounds. Yeah, well, 0:48:07.280 --> 0:48:09.600 I mean Lindoor was just something I just couldn't pass 0:48:09.640 --> 0:48:13.440 on Syndegard. What's to say Syndegard can't have a season 0:48:13.560 --> 0:48:17.840 like Trevor Bower had later nobody used the talent and 0:48:18.239 --> 0:48:21.600 uh that he has. And you know guys like Paxson. 0:48:21.719 --> 0:48:25.080 I think Paxson is gonna be phenomenal this year. I 0:48:25.120 --> 0:48:27.920 think the move to look you'd rather him being whatever 0:48:28.040 --> 0:48:30.680 safe gold Field is called now. But he's on the Yankee. 0:48:30.800 --> 0:48:33.520 He's left handed in the Yankee stated, so that should 0:48:33.520 --> 0:48:36.440 help him. He's a beast, he's a competitor. I don't 0:48:36.480 --> 0:48:38.960 think he's gonna wealth under the New York pressure. I 0:48:38.960 --> 0:48:41.400 think he's actually gonna thrive in it. So hopefully he 0:48:41.440 --> 0:48:44.279 can stay healthy. But I'm not gonna pass on good 0:48:44.320 --> 0:48:47.640 players that you know mayor may or may not. If 0:48:47.640 --> 0:48:50.759 he's a guy right next to him that's equally and 0:48:50.920 --> 0:48:53.040 has a better you know, health track record, that I'll 0:48:53.080 --> 0:48:56.239 make the exception. But the game is also changing these 0:48:56.320 --> 0:48:59.040 younger players. Why I'm willing to go in a lot 0:48:59.040 --> 0:49:01.800 more more younger guy. Look at the last five years, 0:49:02.000 --> 0:49:04.399 Look at how these guys come up. Look at what 0:49:04.840 --> 0:49:08.720 Ron Soto did it nineteen and he played a games. 0:49:08.920 --> 0:49:11.719 You're telling me, Blad Guerrero can't do that. You know, 0:49:11.840 --> 0:49:14.680 one of the best backs where we've heard about a 0:49:14.719 --> 0:49:16.920 long time. So if he plays in a hundred and 0:49:17.280 --> 0:49:20.520 a hundred thirty games, he can't do that. So I 0:49:20.800 --> 0:49:23.120 think the game's changing. You've got to be more aggressive 0:49:23.160 --> 0:49:25.520 on these guys, and if you know they're gonna have 0:49:25.560 --> 0:49:27.600 a spot. So maybe it's not for the first month, 0:49:27.600 --> 0:49:29.799 in the first couple of weeks, but from then on 0:49:30.400 --> 0:49:33.840 you gotta get invested in. Yeah, I get it, I 0:49:33.880 --> 0:49:36.439 completely get it. I'm staring at the draft board and 0:49:37.160 --> 0:49:40.920 you mentioned Yek and Frank. You've been all over pweek 0:49:41.000 --> 0:49:43.359 a lot to spring, and I've kind of backed off 0:49:43.400 --> 0:49:45.680 a bit, and you want to pay attention to spring training, 0:49:46.080 --> 0:49:48.480 y'asel if he's gotten it done, particularly this weekend, and 0:49:48.560 --> 0:49:51.960 think m yesterday, did he hit a grand slam of 0:49:52.920 --> 0:49:55.800 to run home on off brad hand? He's the same game, correct. 0:49:55.840 --> 0:49:58.759 I mean you're talking about value one of the one 0:49:58.760 --> 0:50:00.920 of the top ten starting pitch in baseball and then 0:50:00.920 --> 0:50:03.160 one of the top ten relievers, and pwea does it 0:50:03.160 --> 0:50:05.360 against both those guys. Again, like you don't want to 0:50:05.360 --> 0:50:07.080 buy in the spring training that much. We know what 0:50:07.120 --> 0:50:09.560 the talent level is for Puig. He just needs to 0:50:09.640 --> 0:50:11.600 keep his head on straight and he needs to stay healthy. 0:50:11.640 --> 0:50:13.960 And I think in a contract year, look, I know 0:50:14.000 --> 0:50:15.920 that there's been a lot of studies done when it 0:50:15.920 --> 0:50:18.560 comes to contract years. You can't look at ya c 0:50:18.760 --> 0:50:21.560 l pe everything that he's ever done, everything he's ever 0:50:21.600 --> 0:50:24.439 been about, and tell me that you can't buy into 0:50:24.440 --> 0:50:26.439 the fact that this guy wants to get paid Greg, 0:50:27.160 --> 0:50:29.520 like you kid so and we know that the talent 0:50:29.600 --> 0:50:31.640 levels there. And now he moves over to the best 0:50:31.680 --> 0:50:34.080 ballpark he's ever played in, in a really good lineup, 0:50:34.120 --> 0:50:35.520 and he's gonna be in the middle of the lineup. 0:50:35.600 --> 0:50:37.319 I mean, the upside is immense. And I told you 0:50:37.400 --> 0:50:39.839 this heading into the draft, Greg, I know what pulls 0:50:39.920 --> 0:50:41.600 Zach Wheeler up the board, I take him in the 0:50:41.600 --> 0:50:44.200 fourth round. I was considering taking Pleak there, and I 0:50:44.280 --> 0:50:46.640 know it's pulling guys up the board, but you gotta 0:50:46.719 --> 0:50:49.640 get your guys. And I think that Pug has that 0:50:49.800 --> 0:50:52.400 legitimate upside where you know, it wouldn't surprise me one 0:50:52.400 --> 0:50:54.560 bit if he it's two eighty with thirty home runs 0:50:54.560 --> 0:50:56.560 and fifteen stolen bases is yere. And if he's in 0:50:56.560 --> 0:50:58.200 the middle of the red lineup, you know the counting 0:50:58.200 --> 0:51:01.080 sets are gonna be there too, So I'm gonna be 0:51:01.160 --> 0:51:03.439 continued to be very aggressive with Peek. He was someone 0:51:03.480 --> 0:51:05.520 that I considered. It just so happened that I wanted 0:51:05.560 --> 0:51:07.680 starting pitching at that point in the fourth round, so 0:51:07.760 --> 0:51:10.719 I go with Zach Wheeler. But he was in consideration there. 0:51:11.120 --> 0:51:13.600 It was really it was Wheeler. It was we were 0:51:13.640 --> 0:51:16.040 looking at Paxton and Tweak. Those were the three picks 0:51:16.040 --> 0:51:17.640 that we were looking at in the at the beginning 0:51:17.640 --> 0:51:20.000 of the fourth It's interesting because yeah, yeah, go ahead, 0:51:20.239 --> 0:51:22.600 real quick, a jump in. Like when he said about 0:51:22.600 --> 0:51:26.400 taking Preak there, I look, if Patrion wasn't there, I 0:51:26.480 --> 0:51:29.080 was taking Peak. That's the only reason why I didn't 0:51:29.120 --> 0:51:32.360 take Peak. I figured to send the guard Paxson Combo. 0:51:32.680 --> 0:51:35.680 I was rolling on that, but I was praying would 0:51:35.680 --> 0:51:38.680 make it back. It's interesting because I was looking at 0:51:38.719 --> 0:51:41.839 my rankings, watching the draft unfold, listening to you Frank, 0:51:41.920 --> 0:51:44.279 listening to you Matt, and one guy I actually had 0:51:44.400 --> 0:51:47.680 higher than TWEE was George Springer, and I obviously you 0:51:47.719 --> 0:51:50.200 let the Singer go. You took David Doll instead. I've 0:51:50.200 --> 0:51:52.319 been on Springer a lot to Spring and now and 0:51:52.360 --> 0:51:55.240 I've been all squee and I'm thinking should I reverse 0:51:55.360 --> 0:52:00.239 that now? And I don't know. Well, it comes down too, 0:52:01.600 --> 0:52:04.440 what are you expecting from Springer? Because like this, this 0:52:04.480 --> 0:52:07.239 crew of guys that would write in this fifth round 0:52:07.360 --> 0:52:11.000 is really interesting to me. Eddie Rosario, y'all peg, Tommy fam, 0:52:11.080 --> 0:52:14.200 David Dald, George Springer, like those five guys are obviously 0:52:14.280 --> 0:52:15.920 very similar. That's why they went back to back. And 0:52:15.960 --> 0:52:18.240 I have no idea how to rank them, no idea. 0:52:18.320 --> 0:52:20.239 I think Springer gets pushed down the draft board a 0:52:20.239 --> 0:52:22.120 little bit now because it's just a lack of stolen 0:52:22.120 --> 0:52:25.040 basis that he's given. Now in the Spring, he's stolen 0:52:25.080 --> 0:52:26.600 three bases. We know that he lost weight in the 0:52:26.640 --> 0:52:29.040 off season, and the Houston Astros are saying they want 0:52:29.040 --> 0:52:31.040 to be more aggressive on the basis this year. So 0:52:31.400 --> 0:52:33.520 I think Springer is fast enough. I think he's a 0:52:33.520 --> 0:52:37.959 good enough athlete. Stolen basis for the for the most part, 0:52:38.040 --> 0:52:41.799 here are not a matter of skill and speed. It's 0:52:41.800 --> 0:52:45.680 a matter of team philosophy and willingness to do so 0:52:45.760 --> 0:52:47.759 and aggressiveness. It's you know, there are a lot of 0:52:47.760 --> 0:52:50.200 guys that can steal twenty to thirty basses, but with 0:52:50.239 --> 0:52:52.320 the way baseball has been trending, they don't want players 0:52:52.400 --> 0:52:55.440 running into outs when you have big boppers at the plate, 0:52:55.680 --> 0:52:57.879 because then you know, all of a sudden, you know what, 0:52:57.880 --> 0:52:59.640 what could have been a two run home run turned 0:52:59.640 --> 0:53:01.359 into us solo home run, And so they don't want 0:53:01.400 --> 0:53:03.959 these guys running into outs. It comes down to aggressiveness. 0:53:04.239 --> 0:53:06.520 If the if the Astros are going to be more aggressive, 0:53:06.840 --> 0:53:09.600 then I think Springer has the talent. I think he 0:53:09.600 --> 0:53:12.520 has the athleticism to steal fifteen to twenty bases, but 0:53:12.640 --> 0:53:15.000 we haven't seen him do that, so you're kind of 0:53:15.200 --> 0:53:17.880 you know, what do you really expect from Springer? The 0:53:17.920 --> 0:53:20.359 batting average, it will be fine. I mean, he's gonna 0:53:20.400 --> 0:53:23.080 be to sixty five, maybe to seventy. He'll score a 0:53:23.080 --> 0:53:25.440 lot of runs. Hard hit rate was down last year. 0:53:25.800 --> 0:53:27.799 He's gonna give you runs. I think he's just kind 0:53:27.800 --> 0:53:29.520 of a boring player. I think he gets a little 0:53:29.520 --> 0:53:32.000 bit overhyped because he's he heard his name for so 0:53:32.040 --> 0:53:34.480 long and he plays for the Houston Astros. But I 0:53:34.480 --> 0:53:36.160 think he's all right going to spot. I don't really 0:53:36.160 --> 0:53:38.080 have a problem with taking some of these other names 0:53:38.120 --> 0:53:41.759 ahead of him. Yeah. I think with Springer, it's more 0:53:41.760 --> 0:53:44.680 about if you want the floor, you take Springer. If 0:53:44.680 --> 0:53:47.880 you want a ceiling, you take doll And. Yeah, like 0:53:47.880 --> 0:53:49.880 Frank said, he's stole three bases this year in the 0:53:49.880 --> 0:53:53.640 best shape of his life. Maybe that will change things. 0:53:53.680 --> 0:53:57.480 But in the past he's been horrendous at his stolen 0:53:57.480 --> 0:53:59.480 base success rate, and it's not even like it's been 0:54:00.080 --> 0:54:02.920 all right, it's been dead. So you know, maybe that 0:54:03.080 --> 0:54:05.040 changed here. You know, maybe he's been working on that. 0:54:05.520 --> 0:54:07.479 And I just don't buy the actuals are gonna become 0:54:07.520 --> 0:54:11.000 of this running gyarden team. Yeah, I get it. You 0:54:11.040 --> 0:54:12.879 don't want to run into Alex when you're on Houston, 0:54:12.920 --> 0:54:14.400 when you have all those guys behind you. I get it. 0:54:14.719 --> 0:54:16.479 This is the name, this is the name, theory Greg. 0:54:16.480 --> 0:54:18.520 It's like, are you buying are you? Are you buying 0:54:18.520 --> 0:54:20.960 the stats here? You're buying the name. George Springer. T 0:54:21.200 --> 0:54:22.600 is more of a name than what he's giving you. 0:54:22.719 --> 0:54:24.439 And look, he's still gonna give you if he stays 0:54:24.480 --> 0:54:26.440 healthy's gonna give you a hundred plus runs. That's It's 0:54:26.440 --> 0:54:29.640 not to say that he's not a bad player. He's 0:54:29.640 --> 0:54:32.040 a good player. But again, some of these other guys 0:54:32.080 --> 0:54:35.520 like we has tremendous upside. You know how I felt 0:54:35.520 --> 0:54:37.959 about Tommy fam rout spring training. I know he's gonna 0:54:37.960 --> 0:54:41.680 play the field today, So all right, crossing the hope 0:54:41.719 --> 0:54:43.560 he comes through that. All right? Because Tommy Fam I 0:54:43.600 --> 0:54:45.520 think he has a ment to upside, but he's always 0:54:45.560 --> 0:54:47.680 been injury prone. If he stays healthy, I think Tommy 0:54:47.680 --> 0:54:51.040 fam has upside. I I you know, I think that 0:54:51.080 --> 0:54:53.040 he's one of these guys that can legitimately break out, 0:54:53.040 --> 0:54:56.279 but he's always been hurt. So again, what said is 0:54:56.600 --> 0:54:59.400 do you want safety? You want floor? All right, Springer, 0:54:59.760 --> 0:55:03.279 But I just I don't think he has much upside. Okay, 0:55:03.440 --> 0:55:05.239 another guy's going right around him. I think have more 0:55:05.800 --> 0:55:09.600 enough might go back and forth. And Eddie Rosario is 0:55:09.640 --> 0:55:12.080 another interesting one. I mean, I've been pumping up the 0:55:12.080 --> 0:55:14.200 Twins lineup. He's gonna be right in the middle of 0:55:14.200 --> 0:55:16.359 it too. He bats lefty. I don't have to worry 0:55:16.360 --> 0:55:18.440 about the splits with him either. He holds his own 0:55:18.440 --> 0:55:20.440 against lefties. I know the second half he came back 0:55:20.520 --> 0:55:22.680 last year, but let's think of let's let's be reminded 0:55:22.680 --> 0:55:24.440 of what he did in that first half last season. 0:55:24.800 --> 0:55:26.680 And you know, he's not gonna steal a ton of bases. 0:55:26.680 --> 0:55:28.840 Maybe he gives you a tend to fifteen, but he 0:55:28.840 --> 0:55:31.640 could hit thirty plus home runs. And again in that lineup, 0:55:31.640 --> 0:55:33.520 if he's batting you know, second or third or wherever 0:55:33.520 --> 0:55:36.600 he is, the counting stats are gonna be plentiful. I'm 0:55:36.600 --> 0:55:38.920 really really bullish on the Twins lineup. I end up 0:55:38.960 --> 0:55:41.479 with Bucksting in this draft, but you know, Nelson Crew 0:55:41.520 --> 0:55:43.719 seems like he's been a little bit undervalued. I also 0:55:43.800 --> 0:55:46.120 end up with Horry Polanco here. I think he's gonna 0:55:46.160 --> 0:55:48.400 lead off. I think he's, you know, a guy that 0:55:48.400 --> 0:55:50.919 can if he stays healthy, he could score eight ninety runs. 0:55:50.960 --> 0:55:53.080 So I'm I'm very much so in on the Twins 0:55:53.080 --> 0:55:55.160 line up. I get why people like Eddie Rosario. I 0:55:55.160 --> 0:55:57.040 get it too, Man, I get it too. He was awesome. 0:55:57.160 --> 0:55:59.520 He was awesome last year, he was awesome the year before. 0:55:59.840 --> 0:56:04.000 I get a name value, Frank, it's not there for 0:56:04.480 --> 0:56:07.200 Eddie Rosario. The numbers are and the numbers will lie. 0:56:07.280 --> 0:56:09.680 At this point, mattmo deca, Man, this has been a blast. 0:56:09.840 --> 0:56:13.680 This hour has gone quicker than ever today, legitimately quicker 0:56:13.719 --> 0:56:16.840 than ever. How a great time in Vegas. Best of 0:56:16.920 --> 0:56:19.319 luck to you was gonna be really interesting thing for Matt. 0:56:19.400 --> 0:56:22.640 What changes from your from this week to next week 0:56:22.920 --> 0:56:25.160 in the NFPC.
