I can't do 0:00:32.800 --> 0:00:34.840 the math. Welsh, you can work on that. In the meantime. 0:00:35.000 --> 0:00:37.959 Today we're gonna be running through a headhead roto categories. 0:00:38.159 --> 0:00:40.800 Nine pitchers.

We also have 0:00:43.400 --> 0:00:46.760 three outfielders, two utility spots, and nine open pitcher slots. 0:00:46.760 --> 0:00:49.360 It's gonna be five by five, the old school style. 0:00:49.360 --> 0:00:51.440 We'll do some obp mocks, we'll do a lot of 0:00:51.479 --> 0:00:53.760 other things as well. But we got some friends joining 0:00:53.840 --> 0:00:57.320 us too, The Wonky Penguin, Mister Buster, just name a 0:00:57.320 --> 0:01:00.080 few of the fun folks here and our listeners.

It's a special time of year, 0:01:08.440 --> 0:01:11.959 our first mock, and I have specifically not mocked yet. 0:01:12.200 --> 0:01:14.679 I wanted to have my first mock of twenty twenty 0:01:14.680 --> 0:01:17.360 four with my good friend Welsh. So I hope that 0:01:17.400 --> 0:01:18.080 means something to you. 0:01:18.280 --> 0:01:19.360 It does, of course it does. 0:01:19.360 --> 0:01:22.120 I'm actually very excited too because I have been and 0:01:22.200 --> 0:01:24.600 I have been using draft Wizard.

Who is the most hateful. I'm just 0:01:42.240 --> 0:01:44.440 hoping you do a good enough job. 0:01:44.400 --> 0:01:46.240 That you love your own draft. That's what I. 0:01:46.160 --> 0:01:48.440 Want to say. I always try to say that I 0:01:48.480 --> 0:01:50.920 love me some me. I would love some Welsh approval, 0:01:50.960 --> 0:01:53.520 some Welsh disapproval and that could be fun. We'll talk 0:01:53.520 --> 0:01:56.200 about the insights when everything's all done and the dust settles. 0:01:56.240 --> 0:01:59.120 But also remindered everybody out there, if you have fantasy 0:01:59.120 --> 0:02:02.960 baseball leagues, ye, please sink them for free?

Now. 0:02:48.720 --> 0:02:50.760 I'm in the one spot, Welsh, Where did you take 0:02:51.120 --> 0:02:55.639 your position? Should I say in the draft board today? 0:02:55.720 --> 0:02:58.560 Well, I took one of my favorite KDS spots. So 0:02:58.639 --> 0:03:01.120 the Kentucky Derby system if you guys play like that, 0:03:01.160 --> 0:03:02.920 if you do, you know the NFBC stuff has that 0:03:03.000 --> 0:03:05.359 where you when you get your pick, you don't actually 0:03:05.480 --> 0:03:07.320 make your pick. You get to pick where you are 0:03:07.400 --> 0:03:09.760 in the draft. And I picked five because I think 0:03:09.800 --> 0:03:13.359 five is a phenomenal spot because I'm getting the best 0:03:13.639 --> 0:03:16.840 of a first round talent that's left over, most likely 0:03:16.919 --> 0:03:18.720 going to be a Corbyn Carol or a Mookie bet 0:03:18.800 --> 0:03:22.079 So I love five. I jumped into it completely being 0:03:22.120 --> 0:03:25.000 a cheater here and I am ready to do this. 0:03:25.400 --> 0:03:27.600 Well. I mean, if anybody's cheating, it's me because I'm 0:03:27.639 --> 0:03:29.919 one and I'm taking Ronald Acunia. Last year, we did 0:03:29.919 --> 0:03:32.600 say a lot of debates. I would say, you know 0:03:32.639 --> 0:03:34.280 who you really want to take first? I was a 0:03:34.280 --> 0:03:36.520 big Julio guy. Julio did come on strong in the 0:03:36.560 --> 0:03:39.720 second half, but it's it's hard not to take Ronaldalkunya first. 0:03:39.720 --> 0:03:41.800 By a landslide. This year, so I'm going to do that. 0:03:41.840 --> 0:03:43.680 The power of the speed, everything is there for Ronald 0:03:43.720 --> 0:03:46.440 Acunia Junior, and I feel good about doing that this year. 0:03:46.480 --> 0:03:48.680 Now that being said, I am going to be putting 0:03:48.720 --> 0:03:51.080 money again just like I did last year for al 0:03:51.200 --> 0:03:55.360 MVP on Julio Rodriguez. But I'm drafting one, not two. 0:03:55.440 --> 0:03:57.160 So I'm going to take Ronald Cuneia last year, coming 0:03:57.200 --> 0:03:59.839 off a year with forty one homers, one hundred and six, 0:04:00.480 --> 0:04:03.360 one hundred and forty nine run score, seventy three stolen bases. 0:04:03.440 --> 0:04:05.440 I don't think he's going to repeat that, but if 0:04:05.440 --> 0:04:07.520 he gets even eighty five percent of it, well she's 0:04:07.520 --> 0:04:09.360 still the number one pick. Let's go through the rest 0:04:09.360 --> 0:04:12.680 of the board here. After I took Ronaldocunya, Julia Rodriguez, 0:04:12.720 --> 0:04:16.960 then Bobby Wood Junior, Corbin Carol, and then Welsh you took. 0:04:16.800 --> 0:04:18.840 Who Like I said, I took Milki Bets. 0:04:18.839 --> 0:04:21.080 I was taking one of Caroler Betts, whoever felt I 0:04:21.120 --> 0:04:24.360 have seen some instances where Bobby Witt does. I do 0:04:24.440 --> 0:04:26.200 love being able to get one of those big core 0:04:26.279 --> 0:04:29.080 four because you get the stolen bases. I'm not going 0:04:29.160 --> 0:04:32.520 crazy heavy chasing stolen bases this year like you need to. 0:04:32.720 --> 0:04:35.360 But the awesome thing is you get like great batting average, 0:04:35.360 --> 0:04:37.400 you get power and everything like that. But Mooki, I 0:04:37.440 --> 0:04:40.360 get the qualification at second and outfield. 0:04:40.000 --> 0:04:40.800 Big homers. 0:04:40.960 --> 0:04:43.520 He's gonna be leading off with Otani and Freddie Freeman 0:04:43.560 --> 0:04:49.040 hitting behind him. To me, the core five you can interchange, though, 0:04:49.279 --> 0:04:51.120 you know, like Ronald Kune is number one. I'm not 0:04:51.120 --> 0:04:53.640 gonna get cute and try to do anything funky with it. 0:04:53.960 --> 0:04:57.200 But after that, any mixture of those five is fantastic. 0:04:57.279 --> 0:04:59.039 And then I think just the tears kind of change 0:04:59.080 --> 0:05:01.039 a little bit so I can move them over to 0:05:01.160 --> 0:05:04.320 second or what is kind of a thin outfield. This year, 0:05:04.560 --> 0:05:06.720 I have had a couple mocks and drafts where I've 0:05:06.760 --> 0:05:09.120 put Mooki in the outfield when all is said and done, 0:05:09.240 --> 0:05:10.760 so we'll see what ends up happening. 0:05:10.880 --> 0:05:12.400 As this is a nice surprise. 0:05:12.680 --> 0:05:16.080 Kyle Tucker goes six, which is not but Spencer Streider 0:05:16.400 --> 0:05:19.400 going in at seven, and I've seen that pitching thing 0:05:19.839 --> 0:05:22.160 kind of creep in where sometimes you want them more 0:05:22.200 --> 0:05:25.280 at the wheel. People are not letting Spencer Strider fall 0:05:25.320 --> 0:05:27.240 too much. So he goes seven in our mock. 0:05:27.160 --> 0:05:29.320 Here, Okay, I love Stryder. I'm not taking pictures in 0:05:29.360 --> 0:05:31.400 the first two rounds of any draft, not over top 0:05:31.480 --> 0:05:34.440 to you, not over Tatis who went next to of course, 0:05:34.560 --> 0:05:37.280 our good friend Kelly, the Wonky Penguin, so that I'm 0:05:37.279 --> 0:05:39.880 sure she's very excited. I'm sure she's gonna slack message 0:05:39.920 --> 0:05:42.280 me during the draft here, houtside she is for that pick. 0:05:42.320 --> 0:05:44.080 I'm sure she's gonna win this too. By the way, 0:05:44.200 --> 0:05:46.679 I'm gonna call the shot already that wonky Penguin's probably 0:05:46.720 --> 0:05:48.920 going to win this mock draft because she always does. 0:05:49.000 --> 0:05:50.920 But as we continue on here, you make a great 0:05:50.960 --> 0:05:54.360 point about outfield being a little sparse. It's another reason 0:05:54.400 --> 0:05:56.080 why you being able to lock in a top spot 0:05:56.080 --> 0:05:57.880 this year with taking a Kuni or Julio makes a 0:05:57.920 --> 0:06:00.559 lot of sense as well. Said the flexibility of Mookie 0:06:00.520 --> 0:06:03.359 Betts is fantastic as well. Uh Tatista another guy that 0:06:03.360 --> 0:06:04.800 gives you that. But I'll tell you what man I 0:06:04.800 --> 0:06:07.159 think when you're looking at the board this year, what 0:06:07.279 --> 0:06:10.320 makes it, You know, using the Draft Wizard product, which 0:06:10.360 --> 0:06:12.320 is so great, is you know when you go to 0:06:12.360 --> 0:06:15.240 the pick predictor, you can see you know the percentages 0:06:15.279 --> 0:06:16.840 of what players or what positions are going to make 0:06:16.839 --> 0:06:19.080 it back to you. And the pick Predictor is something 0:06:19.080 --> 0:06:20.960 that if you have the premium feature, you can link 0:06:21.000 --> 0:06:23.760 to all of your leagues for your specific draft, so 0:06:23.960 --> 0:06:25.839 it can go with you to your draft, not just 0:06:25.880 --> 0:06:27.680 in the mock drafts. And that's something I think a 0:06:27.680 --> 0:06:29.960 lot of people are still learning about the incredible products 0:06:30.000 --> 0:06:31.840 we have here for everybody because we want you to 0:06:31.880 --> 0:06:34.440 be successful. But during football season, this is all I used, 0:06:34.480 --> 0:06:37.080 was the pick Predictor going through I get the screenshot 0:06:37.160 --> 0:06:39.960 basically in my in my brain, whether it's you know, 0:06:40.040 --> 0:06:42.240 on the app or on the desktop version, where I 0:06:42.279 --> 0:06:44.800 am looking at the players, I see the full list. 0:06:44.880 --> 0:06:47.680 I see where my personal drops off drops off are 0:06:48.200 --> 0:06:51.000 or drop offs are something to that effect. And of 0:06:51.080 --> 0:06:52.719 course when you use the cheat sheet creator too, I 0:06:52.720 --> 0:06:54.480 can use my own cheat sheets, you can use yours. 0:06:54.480 --> 0:06:57.320 We can make hybrids between ourselves or other experts, or 0:06:57.360 --> 0:06:58.760 use the ECR to do that as well. 0:06:58.880 --> 0:07:03.400 The excitement around making this like an hour infomercial about 0:07:03.400 --> 0:07:05.280 it isn't an intentional thing. 0:07:05.520 --> 0:07:07.280 We just there's a sham wow you get too. I'm 0:07:07.279 --> 0:07:08.760 pretty sure the shamwoll comes with the. 0:07:09.040 --> 0:07:12.560 Damn this draft is not a leak, but like we 0:07:12.600 --> 0:07:14.720 actually just did another walk through just kind of getting 0:07:14.760 --> 0:07:16.840 revised of all this stuff, and it is pretty cool. 0:07:16.880 --> 0:07:20.200 I love the predictor versus the Experts agreement which you 0:07:20.240 --> 0:07:22.920 can use. There's a button if you guys are watching 0:07:23.000 --> 0:07:25.920 on the video side, the set draft strategy, you can 0:07:25.960 --> 0:07:30.240 actually set your own strategy, and the bots as well, 0:07:30.240 --> 0:07:32.320 where you can get in and have like stolen. 0:07:31.920 --> 0:07:33.800 Based heavy stuff. It's really cool we're. 0:07:33.720 --> 0:07:35.720 Implementing all of this and it's something else you can 0:07:35.760 --> 0:07:38.400 see the five minutes as you could just go in 0:07:38.560 --> 0:07:42.200 and have the automated system draft and it's going to 0:07:42.280 --> 0:07:45.560 draft off of combination of ADP and ECR. But we 0:07:45.600 --> 0:07:47.960 also invited our friends so you can have cool mixtures. 0:07:48.000 --> 0:07:50.040 So that's why you can do a lot of unique 0:07:50.040 --> 0:07:53.600 stuff and even set draft strategies. So the draft ends 0:07:53.720 --> 0:07:56.120 up having a board like let's say Yahoo. So that's 0:07:56.120 --> 0:07:57.560 the cool stuff that we're doing here. 0:07:57.600 --> 0:07:58.360 But let's pick it. 0:07:58.400 --> 0:08:00.000 Let's just got to pick up on these picks because 0:08:00.080 --> 0:08:01.360 crazy stuff is starting to happen. 0:08:01.720 --> 0:08:03.200 Something exciting might happen for me. 0:08:03.280 --> 0:08:06.320 Something is after Strider goes Wonkey took Tatis than Freddie 0:08:06.320 --> 0:08:09.600 Freeman Showiotani, Aaron Judge at the turn at one twelve, 0:08:09.680 --> 0:08:12.320 Juan Soto, follow by Garrett Cole, all the Yankees right there. 0:08:12.360 --> 0:08:14.000 That's kind of a fun start to a team that 0:08:14.080 --> 0:08:15.920 I understand you want to go with a picture at 0:08:15.920 --> 0:08:17.880 the turn. I get it because it's a long time 0:08:17.880 --> 0:08:21.080 before players get back to that. I'm cool with, not me, 0:08:21.240 --> 0:08:25.640 not at one, Matt Olsen, Jose Ramirez. Trey Turner goes 0:08:25.680 --> 0:08:28.160 next at two oh four. Pretty interesting value for Turner. 0:08:28.440 --> 0:08:30.840 Let's talk about him because last season was tricky when 0:08:30.880 --> 0:08:33.720 it came to Trey Turner two sixty six batting average. Now, 0:08:33.760 --> 0:08:36.200 he did steal thirty bases, he had twenty six on runs, 0:08:36.240 --> 0:08:37.760 but wels, we all know the first half of the 0:08:37.840 --> 0:08:40.560 year was just not what we expect for Turner. But 0:08:40.600 --> 0:08:42.400 at the end of the day, he did match his 0:08:42.440 --> 0:08:45.720 twenty twenty two run score. He did actually supersede his 0:08:45.800 --> 0:08:47.880 twenty one homers from the previous year. He fell short 0:08:47.920 --> 0:08:50.640 in RBI by twenty five or so in the stolen 0:08:50.679 --> 0:08:52.360 bases where they are the batting average dip. So any 0:08:52.400 --> 0:08:54.319 concerns with Trey Turner heading into twenty. 0:08:54.040 --> 0:08:57.600 Four, I mean concerns versus like investment, Like, yeah, I 0:08:57.600 --> 0:08:59.040 think the stolen bases. 0:08:58.720 --> 0:09:00.199 Are starting to tick down. 0:09:00.440 --> 0:09:03.240 So if you're starting to give comparisons, like he doesn't 0:09:03.320 --> 0:09:07.360 have that big advantage of stolen bases against let's say 0:09:07.520 --> 0:09:10.800 Matt Olson's power or Jose Ramirez, Jose Ramirez is about 0:09:10.800 --> 0:09:13.280 the same, probably a position you would rather fill those at. 0:09:13.320 --> 0:09:16.280 So I have less interest in him this year. 0:09:16.480 --> 0:09:17.600 And my concern is. 0:09:17.679 --> 0:09:19.760 Just I still think he's a solid player, but I 0:09:19.760 --> 0:09:22.400 don't think he is going to live in this elite 0:09:22.679 --> 0:09:26.800 territory and he's surrounded by players that do elite things. 0:09:26.920 --> 0:09:28.920 Or I would rather get those stolen bases at a 0:09:28.960 --> 0:09:30.880 third base with Ramirez and I would with Turner, or 0:09:30.920 --> 0:09:32.800 like I said, the Power with Olsen, or you can 0:09:32.800 --> 0:09:35.680 buy back in on the bat that Wonkee took Bryce Harper. 0:09:35.720 --> 0:09:38.520 Actually Wonky took Bryce Harper over Jordan Alvarez, which I 0:09:38.559 --> 0:09:40.920 think is a really kind of unique thing here. But 0:09:41.160 --> 0:09:44.080 if you're talking about overall offensive skills, I think Turner 0:09:44.120 --> 0:09:48.240 went from an elite standout to a solid contributor amongst 0:09:48.280 --> 0:09:49.600 a bunch of other really great players. 0:09:49.800 --> 0:09:52.040 He was in the conversation for one on one last year, 0:09:52.679 --> 0:09:55.120 and I think last year or too, was a certain 0:09:55.160 --> 0:09:57.480 amount of the first year of a big contract press. 0:09:57.559 --> 0:09:59.080 I mean we see it all the time, Solid Harper. 0:09:59.240 --> 0:10:01.440 You know his teammate who just went two five. So 0:10:01.840 --> 0:10:04.240 Alvarez goes to two o six. Welsh, you are now 0:10:04.240 --> 0:10:06.480 on the clock. Cory Seger, one of your favorite things 0:10:06.559 --> 0:10:09.200 just went. That's a real kick in the nuts for you. 0:10:09.360 --> 0:10:10.520 So what do you want to do here? How do 0:10:10.520 --> 0:10:10.880 you pivot? 0:10:11.040 --> 0:10:14.440 Yeah? Nut kicked to get a Rochambeaud there in the draft. 0:10:14.480 --> 0:10:16.880 I was like, oh my gosh, Alvarez Seger and they 0:10:16.920 --> 0:10:18.880 just went back to back. 0:10:19.960 --> 0:10:21.920 I loved Seeger's ability for. 0:10:21.880 --> 0:10:25.160 The batting average. God, that would have been really, really great. 0:10:25.200 --> 0:10:28.800 I'm just taking a peek here. Austin Riley is the predictor. 0:10:28.960 --> 0:10:32.120 Experts agree. I love Austin Riley for the big power 0:10:32.200 --> 0:10:35.400 with Mookie at third, I'm staring over here. 0:10:35.960 --> 0:10:40.040 Oh man, all right, tough times, Welsh, come on, we're 0:10:40.040 --> 0:10:40.679 gonna go Riley. 0:10:40.679 --> 0:10:42.280 I love Riley, I love Riley. I'm just not going 0:10:42.360 --> 0:10:43.040 to overthink it. 0:10:43.160 --> 0:10:46.440 Riley goes. Then Marcus Simeon goes. I know who I've 0:10:46.440 --> 0:10:49.280 got my ion, So Welsh, I can only imagine you 0:10:49.320 --> 0:10:51.440 know who that is? And I'm gonna be upset if 0:10:51.440 --> 0:10:52.839 he doesn't make it to a lot of thing. He's 0:10:52.880 --> 0:10:56.000 going to no no, Ozzy Albi's is the guy that 0:10:56.040 --> 0:10:57.920 I really want to pick up here. That's the guy 0:10:57.960 --> 0:10:59.320 that I would like. You know how I felt about 0:10:59.320 --> 0:11:02.160 Ozar Ozzi Albi's last year. I thought it was an 0:11:02.160 --> 0:11:05.160 incredibly ridiculous value you were getting on him. And guess 0:11:05.240 --> 0:11:08.280 what I was right, thirty three homers, he had one 0:11:08.320 --> 0:11:11.320 hundred and nine ribbies, ninety six run scored, thirteen steals. 0:11:11.360 --> 0:11:13.920 Now we'll see if I get him. Still two more 0:11:13.920 --> 0:11:16.160 picks to get there. Mister Buster's on the clock right now, 0:11:16.360 --> 0:11:20.960 I think that, And there it is Rafael Devers, Vladdie Junior, 0:11:21.160 --> 0:11:24.199 I get my Azzi Alby's. I'm so excited. Well, good 0:11:24.440 --> 0:11:28.280 good times. Now I could go picture here, take Corbin Burns, 0:11:28.520 --> 0:11:30.720 Pete Alonso on the board as well. But as a 0:11:30.760 --> 0:11:33.880 loser met fan that you know hates life, that's a 0:11:33.880 --> 0:11:35.880 tough thing for me. You know, you gotta separate your 0:11:35.880 --> 0:11:37.720 fan of. But at the same time, it's you know, 0:11:38.160 --> 0:11:40.959 it's a difficult time here. Cody Bellinger Goldschmid also first 0:11:41.000 --> 0:11:44.000 Basement available. Jose al Tuve Nico Horner on the second 0:11:44.000 --> 0:11:46.400 base side, but I already have that filled shortstops Lindor, 0:11:46.760 --> 0:11:48.480 so I could add more Stone bases, but I think 0:11:48.480 --> 0:11:51.520 I'm pretty good there. Third base is kind of tough 0:11:51.600 --> 0:11:54.120 as well, because you're gonna have, you know, after the 0:11:54.160 --> 0:11:57.000 Gunner Henderson group, Welsh, you took Austin Riley, you saw 0:11:57.040 --> 0:12:00.000 Devers go. As much as I love Dela Cruz, Machado's hurt, 0:12:00.040 --> 0:12:02.320 you know you're gonna buy into Royce. Lewis Henderson is 0:12:02.360 --> 0:12:05.040 intriguing here as well. I'm gonna stick to my guns 0:12:05.080 --> 0:12:07.960 here go a little bit later on the pitching instead, 0:12:07.960 --> 0:12:10.439 I'm gonna take another outfielder. I'm gonna go ahead with 0:12:10.520 --> 0:12:13.680 Louis Robert instead and go that route. So it was 0:12:13.720 --> 0:12:16.679 tough there between Alonso, who doesn't give you any steals, 0:12:16.720 --> 0:12:18.200 but it gives you a leap power. But I feel like 0:12:18.520 --> 0:12:20.200 I'm off to a pretty good start with the guys 0:12:20.200 --> 0:12:21.880 that I have. They give me a little bit of everything, 0:12:22.000 --> 0:12:24.720 and I like best available here. That's where I'm going. 0:12:24.760 --> 0:12:26.800 So we'll see if Draft Wizard likes me or not. 0:12:27.160 --> 0:12:29.120 Zach Wheeler goes next at three zero two, so he 0:12:29.200 --> 0:12:31.640 goes ahead of Corbyn Burns. Is that surprising to you? 0:12:31.679 --> 0:12:32.560 Who? And the what? 0:12:33.040 --> 0:12:35.120 And then you threw me off. You threw me off 0:12:35.160 --> 0:12:36.959 with Luis Robert. Did who go ahead of who? 0:12:37.000 --> 0:12:40.640 And the way Zach Wheeler went ahead of Corbin Burns. 0:12:40.720 --> 0:12:41.440 I was just curious. 0:12:41.520 --> 0:12:46.480 No, if that's surprising necessarily as it as, it's like 0:12:46.520 --> 0:12:48.640 not something I would do, like I would go with Burns. 0:12:48.640 --> 0:12:49.719 But Wheeler is up there. 0:12:49.720 --> 0:12:52.120 I mean, Wheeler hits every face that he is one 0:12:52.160 --> 0:12:55.440 of the top tier pitchers, top I guess five corps, 0:12:55.840 --> 0:12:58.640 So I'm not really surprised about it. I would have 0:12:58.960 --> 0:13:00.640 kind of liked Corbyn Burns fall back to me, I 0:13:00.640 --> 0:13:02.800 did to tell you, Luis Robert, you threw me off 0:13:03.160 --> 0:13:05.760 because there's a couple of things I'm battling here. There's 0:13:05.800 --> 0:13:09.000 a guy that I think is an immense value, and 0:13:09.040 --> 0:13:10.760 we're also in the mid third round in Ellie is 0:13:10.800 --> 0:13:12.800 still out there, and I mean I have taken l 0:13:12.920 --> 0:13:17.200 Ellie is a big steam shot and he's falling in ours. 0:13:17.280 --> 0:13:19.720 Well, you're on the clock, baby, get time to do it, 0:13:19.800 --> 0:13:21.719 because I don't think if I'm looking at the pick 0:13:21.800 --> 0:13:24.440 predictor he's gonna make it back to you. I think 0:13:24.520 --> 0:13:26.480 it's a seventy five percent chance he does not. 0:13:27.000 --> 0:13:30.360 But we said this on the Ario Cohen episode. I 0:13:30.400 --> 0:13:33.520 think a core piece to drafts is Michael Harris style. 0:13:33.800 --> 0:13:36.760 I went in the ninety percentile. He wasn't the percentage 0:13:36.760 --> 0:13:39.760 of agreement, but I wanted one of Robert or Michael Harris. 0:13:39.800 --> 0:13:42.240 So when you took Robert, you gave me anxiety because 0:13:42.240 --> 0:13:43.360 I was like, I don't know if I can give 0:13:43.360 --> 0:13:44.120 you either one of them. 0:13:44.559 --> 0:13:47.000 I like that. I like that I gave you anxiety 0:13:47.000 --> 0:13:48.760 for a change in the balk That's a good thing 0:13:48.800 --> 0:13:50.760 to me. So after Wheeler goes at three zero. 0:13:50.600 --> 0:13:52.559 Two, Wait, how do I give you anxiety? 0:13:53.240 --> 0:13:55.880 Oh? Because you always take guys that I want. Oh, okay, 0:13:55.920 --> 0:13:57.920 this is what we do. I never take Welsh guys. 0:13:57.920 --> 0:13:59.679 I feel like, but now I'm glad that I did. 0:13:59.720 --> 0:14:01.480 I was around, I was like, you know what, It 0:14:01.559 --> 0:14:03.280 kept sticking in my brain. Even though it's only three 0:14:03.320 --> 0:14:05.599 outfielders in this one, we have the two utility spots. 0:14:05.960 --> 0:14:08.199 I want to get outfield locked down. I hate outfield 0:14:08.200 --> 0:14:09.360 this year. It's gross. 0:14:09.600 --> 0:14:10.200 Uh. 0:14:10.240 --> 0:14:12.400 Pete Alonzo at three oho three, Corbyn Burns at three 0:14:12.440 --> 0:14:15.720 oh four, Michael Harris to the Welsh at three oh five, 0:14:15.840 --> 0:14:18.160 So Welsh's we continue to look through here, Francisco Lindor 0:14:18.200 --> 0:14:19.840 on the board, Bobachette on the board, Elie de la 0:14:19.840 --> 0:14:22.320 Cruz on the board, and Gunner Henderson. Those are the 0:14:22.360 --> 0:14:26.800 top recommendations over here at shortstop Kevin Gossman. Luis Castillo 0:14:26.920 --> 0:14:30.280 also in the mix here for you, have you found 0:14:30.320 --> 0:14:32.560 that you are building most of these teams now where 0:14:32.600 --> 0:14:34.960 you're going hitting early and then starting to Pivotso pitching, 0:14:34.960 --> 0:14:36.920 where do you have any early pitching team so far? 0:14:38.320 --> 0:14:40.600 So I have one team I've done where I went 0:14:40.800 --> 0:14:44.120 third fourth round, but that was the fifteen team Draft Champions. 0:14:44.120 --> 0:14:46.840 I went third fourth round pitching, so I double tapped there. 0:14:47.320 --> 0:14:50.600 For the most part, I'm three rounds of hitting, especially 0:14:50.600 --> 0:14:53.600 in a twelve team. I'm you're gonna have to give 0:14:53.600 --> 0:14:55.840 me a big value to go into pitching. There are 0:14:55.880 --> 0:14:59.680 pitchers I like, and this next comeback around unless there 0:14:59.760 --> 0:15:01.920 is some talent that falls, I'll be honest with you, Like, 0:15:01.920 --> 0:15:04.480 if Ellie falls back to me, I'm gonna just take 0:15:04.480 --> 0:15:07.600 that risk in the fourth rown. Gunner is someone that's 0:15:07.640 --> 0:15:10.200 falling in this draft. But then we're in a lot 0:15:10.200 --> 0:15:12.600 of pictures we got a lot of pictures that are 0:15:12.640 --> 0:15:15.960 going a lot higher that I would consider. There's three particularly, 0:15:16.280 --> 0:15:19.280 so we'll see. We just did have Gunner go Luis Castillo, 0:15:19.640 --> 0:15:23.680 went to Wonkee, Gunner Henderson, and Al Tuvey, and then 0:15:23.760 --> 0:15:26.080 the pictures started going Joe. 0:15:25.840 --> 0:15:29.480 Why they did Lindor, then Gosmin, then Castillo, then Gunner 0:15:29.520 --> 0:15:32.240 Henderson at three zho nine, josel Twove at three to ten, 0:15:32.320 --> 0:15:36.040 Pablo Lopez at three eleven, then at the bottom here 0:15:36.080 --> 0:15:38.200 of the draft at the turn at three twelve, George 0:15:38.280 --> 0:15:40.320 Kirby goes off, and then four oh one we have 0:15:40.400 --> 0:15:44.400 Randy Rose, Arena, Bobaschett, Ellie Dela Cruz at four oh three. 0:15:44.480 --> 0:15:46.520 Did not quite make it to you, Welsh. I don't 0:15:46.520 --> 0:15:49.240 think it would have gone past wonkye Penguin either. Garcia 0:15:49.360 --> 0:15:51.840 from Texas goes next at four oh four. Wonkey's on 0:15:51.880 --> 0:15:54.080 the clock right now. So Welsh, what are you sizing 0:15:54.160 --> 0:15:55.560 up for yourself as you look at the board here? 0:15:55.600 --> 0:15:57.120 Where would you like to go? Is it to a 0:15:57.200 --> 0:16:00.720 gallon or a glass now hopefully? Or you pivoting to 0:16:00.920 --> 0:16:03.040 perhaps I know you love early Relievers, I don't know 0:16:03.040 --> 0:16:04.200 if you love him as much this year. 0:16:04.360 --> 0:16:06.480 No, I don't love him as much, and I'm not 0:16:06.520 --> 0:16:08.840 going to go in the fourth round. Glass now was one. 0:16:08.880 --> 0:16:12.880 He just went CJ. Abrams, and I'm gonna guess Dale 0:16:13.000 --> 0:16:16.080 is gonna go Gallon. So that's gonna really slap me here. 0:16:17.440 --> 0:16:21.960 So I'm probably going to pivot to a Schooba or 0:16:22.000 --> 0:16:24.720 Yamamoto because I don't think Gallen is gonna fall to 0:16:24.760 --> 0:16:25.000 me here. 0:16:25.000 --> 0:16:27.120 But yeah, I can't believe it's we're talking about CJ. 0:16:27.200 --> 0:16:29.480 Abrams in the fourth round. After last year a player 0:16:29.560 --> 0:16:31.160 was going in the you know, outside of the top 0:16:31.160 --> 0:16:33.720 two hundred that we keep telling everybody draft this guy. 0:16:33.760 --> 0:16:35.880 Throw some draft capital, be patient, even if the first 0:16:35.920 --> 0:16:38.040 half sucks and all those things happened. If he stuck 0:16:38.080 --> 0:16:39.960 with it, My god, was he good last year in 0:16:40.040 --> 0:16:42.280 terms of giving you a return on investment eighteen homers, 0:16:42.320 --> 0:16:45.560 forty seven, steals forty seven. I only hit two forty five. Now, 0:16:45.640 --> 0:16:48.000 fourth round to me, I still think it's a little 0:16:48.040 --> 0:16:50.880 early for my personal taste. That's just me. There's some 0:16:50.920 --> 0:16:52.960 other players I like more on that board, like I 0:16:52.960 --> 0:16:56.080 would let Royce Lewis go or Alex Bregman go because 0:16:56.080 --> 0:16:57.560 I know what I'm getting out of those guys. But 0:16:57.640 --> 0:17:00.520 I get it. I understand the sentra abrams, love get it. 0:17:00.520 --> 0:17:02.520 It's just not something I'm ready to do quite yet. 0:17:03.040 --> 0:17:05.640 But Zach Gallon does go off the board. So four 0:17:05.640 --> 0:17:07.000 oh eight, wells you are on the clock. 0:17:07.640 --> 0:17:10.359
