Greg Sauceman hopefully will be joining 0:01:43.440 --> 0:01:46.040 me at some point here on the show as well. 0:01:46.520 --> 0:01:49.919 Yesterday we played a little bit who is this Year's Blank? 0:01:50.280 --> 0:01:53.320 We did it from a positive perspective. We looked at 0:01:53.360 --> 0:01:57.480 some potential breakout players, maybe a closure that can surprise 0:01:57.600 --> 0:02:00.360 us late in drafts today. None of that not gonna 0:02:00.560 --> 0:02:03.440 We're not looking at the positive anymore. We've done the 0:02:03.440 --> 0:02:05.520 good stuff. Now we gotta get into the bad stuff. 0:02:05.520 --> 0:02:07.840 We gotta look at the other side. Who is this 0:02:08.000 --> 0:02:12.440 year's rank. Well, look at an early round hitter that 0:02:12.560 --> 0:02:15.120 might be able to let us down this upcoming season. 0:02:15.360 --> 0:02:18.000 We might look into, uh, We're not might. We are 0:02:18.040 --> 0:02:20.600 going to look into an early round starting pitcher that 0:02:20.680 --> 0:02:23.320 might let us down here in as well. And we'll 0:02:23.360 --> 0:02:27.480 also get into an early round closer who could potentially 0:02:27.560 --> 0:02:30.640 lose his job early on in the season. Again, this 0:02:30.720 --> 0:02:33.919 is the Fantasy BFS live on a hump day here 0:02:33.919 --> 0:02:36.600 on the Sports Grid Network. We're gonna get into some 0:02:36.680 --> 0:02:39.520 of the news and notes in the Fantasy Baseball world. 0:02:39.760 --> 0:02:43.919 Franklin Barretto, Josh James, some Lorda's Guriel notes as well. 0:02:43.919 --> 0:02:47.160 We'll do that all here on the Fantasy BFFs right 0:02:47.200 --> 0:03:04.520 after this news day update done by Sean Gstamon Sports 0:03:04.520 --> 0:03:11.560 Grade News Update, I'm John Blossomtia with your PFF news update. Alright, 0:03:11.600 --> 0:03:15.320 major League Baseball news. The Cubs are committed to batting 0:03:15.720 --> 0:03:20.440 Chris Bryant leadoff. The announced that Earlier this week, also 0:03:20.520 --> 0:03:22.840 some news that Red Sox have agreed to a minor 0:03:22.960 --> 0:03:27.399 league deal with catcher Jonathan lou Croix. Now some other 0:03:27.400 --> 0:03:31.519 baseball news making waves. That is Rob Manfred, the MLB Commissioner, 0:03:32.120 --> 0:03:35.920 on Sunday with called Ravage of ESPN a long interview, 0:03:36.200 --> 0:03:40.040 he made some mistakes, notably calling the World Series Trophy 0:03:40.120 --> 0:03:43.720 a piece of metal. Well, Rob Manfred corrected that mistake, 0:03:43.760 --> 0:03:47.880 and he spoke about it today. In an effort to 0:03:48.360 --> 0:03:53.680 make a rhetorical point, I referred to the World Series 0:03:53.760 --> 0:03:57.880 Trophy in a disrespectful way, and I want to apologize 0:03:57.920 --> 0:04:00.280 for that. There's no excuse for it. Um, I made 0:04:00.320 --> 0:04:02.000 a mistake. I was trying to make a point, but 0:04:02.040 --> 0:04:04.080 I should have made it in a more effective way. 0:04:04.480 --> 0:04:08.280 And again I want to apologize. Florida also making news, 0:04:08.360 --> 0:04:12.160 Lebron Jade's Los Angeles Lakers superstar called out Rob man 0:04:12.200 --> 0:04:16.320 Fred said listen to your players. He was upset about 0:04:16.440 --> 0:04:18.359 the cheating scandal. He went on say, listen. I know 0:04:18.400 --> 0:04:20.760 I don't play baseball, but I am in sports, and 0:04:20.800 --> 0:04:22.840 I know if someone cheated me out of winning the 0:04:22.880 --> 0:04:26.520 title and I found out about it, I would be effing. 0:04:26.839 --> 0:04:29.360 I rate and quote that's Lebron James so not making 0:04:29.400 --> 0:04:31.920 it easier on rob Man tread. That's for sure, all right, 0:04:32.000 --> 0:04:36.120 some NBA news. It's official. Jonathan b Line is out 0:04:36.160 --> 0:04:39.839 as Cleveland Cavs head coach. He went forty losses. He 0:04:39.880 --> 0:04:42.960 had fourteen wins in just a half season. He did 0:04:42.960 --> 0:04:46.080 sign a five year deal, but they negotiated out he 0:04:46.120 --> 0:04:48.840 will be paid just for the time served in a 0:04:48.880 --> 0:04:50.880 little bit more on the first year of that deal. 0:04:50.920 --> 0:04:54.640 So Jonathan b Line out as coach of the Cleveland Cavaliers. JB. 0:04:54.839 --> 0:04:58.440 Bickerstaff takes over. That will be as soon as tomorrow 0:04:58.440 --> 0:05:02.400 when the players get BA. So that is your BFFs 0:05:02.520 --> 0:05:07.040 news update out back. So Frank standfold in the studio, 0:05:07.120 --> 0:05:11.640 take it away, Frank, thanks launch on. Appreciate the news update. 0:05:11.720 --> 0:05:14.520 You might have saw a little flash across the screen. 0:05:14.600 --> 0:05:17.920 The screen there, you know that was somebody consider him 0:05:18.120 --> 0:05:21.320 a superhero. I consider him my co host. It is 0:05:21.640 --> 0:05:25.880 Greg Sussman now joining the party. Greggy. I did you 0:05:25.920 --> 0:05:27.760 sleep last night? But it's all right, man, I slept 0:05:27.760 --> 0:05:30.560 all right better than the night before, which is a plus. 0:05:30.880 --> 0:05:32.640 Feel good man, feeling good? How din to be here? 0:05:32.800 --> 0:05:34.600 A lot of fun to things to talk about today, 0:05:34.920 --> 0:05:37.560 and I'm decided to do so. Frank, Happy hump Day 0:05:37.560 --> 0:05:40.039 to you, but happy Wednesday. We got some Thursday, which 0:05:40.040 --> 0:05:43.039 is the frustrating part. I wish it were Thursday. I said, 0:05:43.040 --> 0:05:45.840 that's frustrating. Not Thursday yet. No, not there yet. But 0:05:46.120 --> 0:05:48.080 a lot going on today, Frank and I wanted to 0:05:48.080 --> 0:05:50.200 get into some of it before we got into, uh, 0:05:50.240 --> 0:05:53.080 the players that we are avoiding this year. Not all 0:05:53.120 --> 0:05:54.960 the players were avoiding the whole show on that, like 0:05:55.000 --> 0:05:56.960 the players that really can pin appointment, Like you know what, 0:05:58.120 --> 0:06:00.240 this is the guy I don't want, probably not gonna 0:06:00.240 --> 0:06:02.680 have this guy on my team right exactly before we 0:06:02.720 --> 0:06:04.840 do that. The guy that I asked you about previously 0:06:05.440 --> 0:06:08.400 was lorda Scariel. I know, Frank, can you tell me 0:06:08.440 --> 0:06:10.719 if I should like this player because he's in a 0:06:10.760 --> 0:06:13.200 line of that we like as Vladimir Gurero Junior has 0:06:13.240 --> 0:06:15.359 not Davi Chett Jr. And he's hit right in the 0:06:15.360 --> 0:06:19.599 middle of it, and he's gonna have multiple position eligibility. 0:06:19.960 --> 0:06:23.320 He's gonna hit third and now it comes out here 0:06:23.320 --> 0:06:25.360 maybe the first basement. Sometimes he's gonna play some second 0:06:25.360 --> 0:06:29.200 Mason outfield, Like dude, this guy could be good. People 0:06:29.200 --> 0:06:32.320 seem to like his brother Juley Gariel, So Frank, should 0:06:32.360 --> 0:06:37.640 I like Lorda Scuriel. I am interested in Lorda Scuriel. 0:06:37.680 --> 0:06:39.600 You look at the lineup as you mentioned, Greg, everyone's 0:06:39.600 --> 0:06:43.560 excited about Bobichette and Vladimir Guerrero Junior as well as 0:06:43.560 --> 0:06:46.520 well as Cavin Biggio. Right, so we have a bunch 0:06:46.520 --> 0:06:48.840 of second generation players here on this team. It's a 0:06:48.880 --> 0:06:50.880 good line of good ballpark to hit in, and there 0:06:50.880 --> 0:06:52.680 are other really good ballparks to hit in in the 0:06:52.800 --> 0:06:58.320 American League East as well. I'm I'm slightly interested in 0:06:58.360 --> 0:07:01.600 Lord A's Greilo. The problem is the a DP where 0:07:01.600 --> 0:07:04.040 he's going right now. There's a lot of players that 0:07:04.080 --> 0:07:05.920 I also like in that range. So in the month 0:07:05.920 --> 0:07:09.400 of February, he's going around pick one thirty five, so 0:07:09.440 --> 0:07:12.160 you're gonna have to take him. Oh that's you, Uli Gurio. 0:07:12.800 --> 0:07:16.240 Excuse me, Lord Gurria, Dan just command f the Guria 0:07:16.320 --> 0:07:22.400 can't do that one fifty three going right around Salvador Perez, 0:07:22.440 --> 0:07:24.800 who was a catcher target of mine, Greg, Not surprise, 0:07:24.880 --> 0:07:29.080 he's ancient. You know, I love my oldies. Orde Polanco, 0:07:29.440 --> 0:07:34.600 Scott Kingery, Byron Buxton, Like every other player, he was 0:07:34.800 --> 0:07:37.080 a fair range to be to be part of. Last year, 0:07:37.080 --> 0:07:39.800 he played just eighty four games and hit twenty whole runs. Frank, 0:07:40.360 --> 0:07:43.400 if he played hundred and sixty eight games, he would 0:07:43.440 --> 0:07:45.880 have home runs. That's what he was closed on pace 0:07:45.960 --> 0:07:47.120 four and he doesn't have to do that. He made 0:07:47.160 --> 0:07:49.360 essentially half a season at twenty home runs. If here's 0:07:49.360 --> 0:07:51.600 something we can get legitimately thirty five home runs at 0:07:51.600 --> 0:07:57.520 this spot middle linfield eligibility potentially, I'm interested. So you 0:07:57.560 --> 0:07:59.320 asked me the other day, why did he struggle in 0:07:59.320 --> 0:08:01.679 the second half? That's correct, and I'm trying to figure 0:08:01.720 --> 0:08:04.280 that out of myself and I'm looking at it right now. 0:08:04.600 --> 0:08:06.680 The hard hit rate dropped a little bit in the 0:08:06.720 --> 0:08:09.880 second half, not enough to really make a difference. I mean, 0:08:09.880 --> 0:08:12.920 he was still over hard contact rate in the second 0:08:12.960 --> 0:08:15.440 half of the season. His line drive rate went down 0:08:15.440 --> 0:08:18.760 about three percent. He started hitting more groundballs that seems 0:08:18.760 --> 0:08:21.480 like an issue. Went from thirty eight percent groundball rate 0:08:21.480 --> 0:08:23.880 in the first half to forty two percent in the 0:08:23.960 --> 0:08:26.680 second half, and his home run to fly ball ratio 0:08:27.280 --> 0:08:32.480 dropped massively in the first half ten point eight percent 0:08:32.920 --> 0:08:37.040 in the second half of the season, so it shouldn't 0:08:37.040 --> 0:08:39.319 have dropped off that much based on this hard contact rate. 0:08:40.600 --> 0:08:42.439 So there are there are, there are still questions when 0:08:42.440 --> 0:08:45.200 it comes to Lord as Guriel of this upcoming season, right, 0:08:45.320 --> 0:08:47.720 so that I don't know that possible. I don't know 0:08:47.720 --> 0:08:52.160 what that's like, an indifferent that TBD TB d on 0:08:52.160 --> 0:08:54.880 on Lord of Gouriel to be determined to be determined 0:08:55.080 --> 0:08:59.600 on Lord. Okay, next for us here fright today, Chris Bryant, 0:08:59.679 --> 0:09:02.280 A hey, cool hit and leadoff? Is that changing any 0:09:02.360 --> 0:09:06.160 for you? Uh? Doesn't really? I mean he's a good 0:09:06.160 --> 0:09:09.480 O b P uh contributors, so I guess that makes sense. 0:09:09.480 --> 0:09:11.160 He obviously has a really good eye at the plate. 0:09:11.440 --> 0:09:13.679 Look at his career nearly twelve percent walk great, that 0:09:13.720 --> 0:09:15.559 makes a lot of sense. Three five O b P 0:09:16.000 --> 0:09:19.080 in his career. The problem greg from a fantasy perspective, 0:09:19.080 --> 0:09:20.880 and I guess we kind of have to just accept 0:09:20.920 --> 0:09:23.599 it at this point is he's been batting second the 0:09:23.600 --> 0:09:26.440 past couple of years, so as RBI output has already 0:09:26.440 --> 0:09:29.760 been down recently last year seventy seven r b I. 0:09:29.880 --> 0:09:32.040 The year before that fifty two, of course, he was hurt, 0:09:32.080 --> 0:09:34.400 only played a hundred and two games in eighteen uh 0:09:34.440 --> 0:09:37.600 and then seventy three RBI back in seen. He has 0:09:37.640 --> 0:09:40.760 not had more than seventy seven ribbies in a single 0:09:40.800 --> 0:09:44.200 season since. Interesting. I think that if you told the 0:09:44.280 --> 0:09:47.960 average baseball fan that about Chris Bryant, wouldn't you get that? Yeah, 0:09:48.000 --> 0:09:51.480 like they would get surprised that. So, um, that's something 0:09:51.480 --> 0:09:54.720 that you just have to keep in consideration. I don't 0:09:54.720 --> 0:09:57.200 think I'm ever gonna own Chris Bryant. Just you know 0:09:57.240 --> 0:10:00.199 where he's going in that fifth round range altar, get 0:10:00.200 --> 0:10:02.559 a Manny Machado around there. I usually look at a 0:10:02.600 --> 0:10:05.520 first basement around there, someone like jose A Brew you know, 0:10:05.559 --> 0:10:09.280 I like jose A Brady a Ton and like he's 0:10:09.400 --> 0:10:13.920 a fine you know, three category contributor. Maybe gives your 0:10:13.920 --> 0:10:17.000 home runs, gives your runs, but to eight two Like 0:10:17.120 --> 0:10:19.720 it's a good batting average, it's not a great batting 0:10:19.720 --> 0:10:22.080 average doesn't help you in RB. I doesn't give you 0:10:22.080 --> 0:10:26.160 stolen basis. Chris Bryant is fine, probably a better points 0:10:26.200 --> 0:10:29.120 league player, probably a better O b P format. I 0:10:29.120 --> 0:10:31.920 know that you played in ob P format. So where 0:10:31.920 --> 0:10:34.280 where walks count? Someone something in the league like that, 0:10:34.320 --> 0:10:36.440 I think that's where you should be targeting Chris Bryant, 0:10:36.440 --> 0:10:37.880 but did you go before the break? One more piece 0:10:37.920 --> 0:10:40.760 of news before we get to that commercial, and that 0:10:40.960 --> 0:10:43.439 is Frankly Briano four top prospect for the Open Age. 0:10:43.480 --> 0:10:45.040 We heard about him for years as a short stop 0:10:45.080 --> 0:10:47.839 prospect and he's just twenty four years old, and maybe 0:10:47.880 --> 0:10:50.320 it's gonna fits the Rafie Devers category we're talking about yesterday. 0:10:50.400 --> 0:10:52.920 He's just twenty four years old and it's probably the 0:10:52.920 --> 0:10:55.960 favorites to be the starting second Nation. Jerrickson profile is 0:10:55.960 --> 0:10:57.800 now in San Diego. We talked off how we kind 0:10:57.800 --> 0:11:00.079 of like Jackson profile this year in San Diego. What 0:11:00.120 --> 0:11:03.000 about guy that's replacing only to potentially replace him in 0:11:03.040 --> 0:11:06.360 Franklin Rodo. It's like a base interesting power speed combination. 0:11:06.440 --> 0:11:08.439 Look at what he did last year, nineteen homers in 0:11:08.559 --> 0:11:12.360 fifteen steels with the batting average in Triple A. He 0:11:12.440 --> 0:11:14.960 has played about eighty games at the major league level 0:11:14.960 --> 0:11:17.840 and has a one eight nine batting average. I wish 0:11:17.880 --> 0:11:20.760 the A's would just give him the opportunity they are 0:11:20.960 --> 0:11:22.960 just let him play. I think they are on little 0:11:22.960 --> 0:11:25.640 more about, you know, looking over his shoulder. Given an opportunity, 0:11:25.800 --> 0:11:27.120 it will be interesting to see what they do with 0:11:27.160 --> 0:11:29.440 Jorge Matteo as well. He's out of options. All right, 0:11:29.480 --> 0:11:31.600 at good point there, all right, more on the way next, 0:11:31.640 --> 0:11:36.680 You're gonna havefs.

We don't normally. 0:12:19.880 --> 0:12:23.839 The problem is, don't steal basis. If nobody steals basis, 0:12:23.840 --> 0:12:25.520 I feel like we don't normally like these many players 0:12:25.559 --> 0:12:27.800 at the same time. Um, I'm trying to be open mind. 0:12:27.880 --> 0:12:30.439 Best of these old guys. The year they were finally 0:12:30.440 --> 0:12:33.080 on the same page. Like last place, guaranteed, I don't agree. 0:12:33.320 --> 0:12:34.520 Like last year. We thought we had a plan and 0:12:34.559 --> 0:12:37.440 we did very, very poorly. We didn't do poorly. We did. 0:12:37.800 --> 0:12:40.640 Actually looked back at the notes that I had for 0:12:40.720 --> 0:12:42.959 that auction going into that night. We wound up with 0:12:43.000 --> 0:12:45.400 a lot of those players, and we were prepared for sure. 0:12:45.440 --> 0:12:47.560 We had a plan. We extuecute. We had Ronald Dacunia 0:12:48.440 --> 0:12:50.160 pretty damn good. He was awesome. You know what. We 0:12:50.160 --> 0:12:54.760 also hadvor Bauer. We executed the plan. You can say 0:12:54.760 --> 0:12:56.640 a lot about us. We went in the auction of 0:12:56.679 --> 0:12:59.080 the plan and we executed it. Yes, I'm pretty sure 0:12:59.120 --> 0:13:00.960 our plan was to piss eybody else in the off 0:13:00.960 --> 0:13:02.680 in the auction, not a year before exactly what we did. 0:13:02.679 --> 0:13:04.719 I let me piece the people off last year. Year 0:13:04.760 --> 0:13:06.839 before we pisched people off. I would do that last year. 0:13:07.280 --> 0:13:08.760 I was too nice last year. It was part of 0:13:08.760 --> 0:13:12.240 my problem. So we have to go full Carlos Correa. 0:13:12.480 --> 0:13:14.319 We got to go into the auction. And I think 0:13:14.320 --> 0:13:15.880 it's told on he. I think I should just like 0:13:15.880 --> 0:13:18.839 walk in front of Collette and just like shut I mouth, 0:13:20.840 --> 0:13:25.800 like if he doesn't hear you, like just seven, that's 0:13:25.800 --> 0:13:28.120 not like that. Yes, let's walk right up to him. 0:13:28.480 --> 0:13:31.720 It's crazy right here. Later year in the industry, like 0:13:31.760 --> 0:13:33.720 you can't, I've said people like me. I don't care. 0:13:34.240 --> 0:13:38.360 I'll be the guy we like Frank, we don't like Greg? Alright, 0:13:38.400 --> 0:13:43.920 cool that works? You like the good cop backgup? Sure so, 0:13:44.160 --> 0:13:46.800 Mark Canna. But people I think are probably gonna start 0:13:46.840 --> 0:13:49.040 to hate us just by associated. Hate me by association 0:13:49.120 --> 0:13:54.400 doesn't have a two years agoin anyway, Mark Canna, we're in, yes, 0:13:54.640 --> 0:13:56.880 fourth fifth outfielder in the Rodal League. Love. I'm mean 0:13:57.040 --> 0:13:59.959 Kell Martin, you're on him? Like Kell Martin, he's still basis. 0:14:00.480 --> 0:14:06.480 Mhmm about pen not many Greg? What about Adam burto Mondescy? Greg? 0:14:06.480 --> 0:14:09.439 You don't like him? Well? How about Time of the VR? 0:14:09.960 --> 0:14:13.200 I don't help this? Like Jonathan VR, I don't really 0:14:13.200 --> 0:14:17.040 liked really Okay, wonder what an I want to get 0:14:17.040 --> 0:14:19.200 to you before we figure out who this year's blank is? 0:14:19.760 --> 0:14:21.720 UH was Josh James. He was a hype guy for 0:14:21.720 --> 0:14:23.960 a litt while last spring, and then it was clear 0:14:23.960 --> 0:14:25.560 he wasn't really gonna be in the rotation on that 0:14:25.680 --> 0:14:29.960 I called Brad Peacock all Spring got that right, and 0:14:30.280 --> 0:14:32.400 unfortunately he couldn't survive as a star. He kept getting 0:14:32.480 --> 0:14:34.400 hurt and this year Dusty Baker is not even messing 0:14:34.400 --> 0:14:36.320 with him. So Josh Jams to be the rotation. The 0:14:36.320 --> 0:14:38.240 cool thing now that Josh James could stay in the 0:14:38.320 --> 0:14:40.880 rotation if he wins the job. You know Dusty Baker's 0:14:40.880 --> 0:14:43.320 gonna throw him at the for a hundred, right. There's 0:14:43.320 --> 0:14:46.480 no like Eat England or Pitch liand It when it 0:14:46.520 --> 0:14:49.200 comes to Josh James this year. You don't think James 0:14:49.280 --> 0:14:51.760 Quick is gonna have any input on not wearing out 0:14:51.800 --> 0:14:54.920 the arm and shoulder of Josh James. G No, No, 0:14:55.200 --> 0:14:58.440 I don't. Dusty Baker, old school manager. We definitely couldn't 0:14:58.560 --> 0:15:01.840 give an f man. Look. It'll be crazy to see 0:15:01.840 --> 0:15:03.760 if to actually do something that with someone like Lands 0:15:03.760 --> 0:15:06.080 of Colors, because the guy obviously has dealt with a 0:15:06.080 --> 0:15:08.160 lot of injuries. And I would be surprised if my 0:15:08.240 --> 0:15:14.360 Colors more than Josh James was great last year in 0:15:14.400 --> 0:15:17.080 a swing man role, more so in Release sixty one 0:15:17.120 --> 0:15:20.200 and pitched k per nine over fourteen last year. The 0:15:20.280 --> 0:15:24.080 underlying numbers three seven, seven x fit, sixteen percent swinging 0:15:24.120 --> 0:15:26.960 strike rate and back in eighteen. Greg The reason why 0:15:27.000 --> 0:15:29.920 people liked him going into last year's season in twenty 0:15:30.040 --> 0:15:34.640 nineteen was eighteen made seventeen starts at triple a three 0:15:34.720 --> 0:15:38.480 forty er, a one o nine whip twelve point nine 0:15:38.560 --> 0:15:40.840 case per nine does struggle a little bit with the walks, 0:15:41.120 --> 0:15:44.320 and Craig Mish actually revealed this to me earlier today. 0:15:44.320 --> 0:15:47.120 Apparently he had a problem with sleep apnea, which they 0:15:47.200 --> 0:15:49.160 just figured out a couple of years ago, which is 0:15:49.200 --> 0:15:52.160 why he can throw harder. Now he can potentially go 0:15:52.240 --> 0:15:55.080 deeper into games as well. So if you're looking for 0:15:55.440 --> 0:15:59.120 a deep sleeper, late round flyer, you're sleepers. He did 0:15:59.120 --> 0:16:02.560 there unintended of what I was going for. But if 0:16:02.560 --> 0:16:05.200 you're doing one of these drafted holds right now, I 0:16:05.200 --> 0:16:07.280 would look at Josh James as someone who does have 0:16:07.400 --> 0:16:10.240 massive strike out upside. And for reference, he went in 0:16:10.280 --> 0:16:13.640 the twenty first round of the NFBC Draft Champions Draft 0:16:13.640 --> 0:16:15.480 that I am doing right now. Greg, Okay, Josh James, 0:16:15.560 --> 0:16:16.840 I like it. I think he has a good spray. 0:16:16.880 --> 0:16:19.360 I see the adv rising for him. Yeah, he's already 0:16:19.360 --> 0:16:21.400 on the move. He was, you know, I think probably 0:16:21.400 --> 0:16:23.400 outside the top thirty rounds last week when I did 0:16:23.400 --> 0:16:25.480 a draft, and again he went in round twenty one. 0:16:25.600 --> 0:16:28.120 We'll see what happens with Forest Whitley, because I think 0:16:28.120 --> 0:16:29.560 there's a chance you know, he could be called up 0:16:29.560 --> 0:16:32.880 early this season if he performs. He wasn't good last year, 0:16:32.960 --> 0:16:34.720 was not good last year, and he was hurt last year. 0:16:34.760 --> 0:16:37.600 So he does have some obstacles to overcome to get 0:16:37.640 --> 0:16:41.120 into the Houston Astros rotation. But as of now, it 0:16:41.160 --> 0:16:42.880 looks like Josh James is the front runner for that 0:16:42.920 --> 0:16:45.880 five spot. Josh James somebody we are definitely looking at. 0:16:46.040 --> 0:16:49.800 I also just kind of stumble upon somebody named Harold Castro. 0:16:50.280 --> 0:16:52.280 You know who that is? Yes, the outfielder for the 0:16:52.320 --> 0:16:57.720 Miami Marlins. Greg That's incorrect. Harold Castro's one thing. He's 0:16:57.760 --> 0:17:02.960 an outfielder all the Detroit Tigers must be Harold. Who 0:17:03.000 --> 0:17:07.200 am I thinking of? Hold Ramirez? Harold Ramirez the answer, 0:17:07.280 --> 0:17:10.119 So confidently I'm gonna get Harold Ramirez A Harold Castro 0:17:10.200 --> 0:17:12.880 mixed up. Harold Castro last year played nineties seven games 0:17:12.880 --> 0:17:15.400 with the Tigers. Is o BP was missed that one? 0:17:15.600 --> 0:17:17.439 It was three oh five? Is is it would be 0:17:17.440 --> 0:17:20.400 in the second half, like his average is nine one. 0:17:20.560 --> 0:17:24.920 He had five home runs. His strikeout totenter point three percent. 0:17:25.040 --> 0:17:27.720 He's one percentage. It was two point four percent. Great 0:17:27.720 --> 0:17:30.120 open the second half. Harold Castro. There you go. Let's 0:17:30.160 --> 0:17:32.440 let's just do a whole show of Greg Suston finds 0:17:32.480 --> 0:17:34.600 things out on fangrafts that happened last year in the 0:17:34.600 --> 0:17:37.880 baseball season. It's a fun show. It's bunch of last 0:17:37.960 --> 0:17:40.560 I'm looking at the roster resource page for the Tigers 0:17:40.640 --> 0:17:43.520 right now. He is not in the lineup. He is 0:17:43.520 --> 0:17:48.040 not on the bench. They released Harold Castro. We're gonna 0:17:48.040 --> 0:17:51.280 have to do some Harold Castro recent Yes, crack about that. 0:17:51.280 --> 0:17:55.600 Tomorrow on the show, I will ask him about Harold Castro. Alright, fantastic. 0:17:55.760 --> 0:17:57.879 Let me move on. Two names I do know and 0:17:57.920 --> 0:18:00.560 that includes a four Marlin, Jean car a little Stanton. 0:18:00.640 --> 0:18:02.640 Last year, he was drafting as a second round pick 0:18:02.920 --> 0:18:05.720 in his second season in the Ronson. A lot of 0:18:05.760 --> 0:18:08.200 people expect the huge things. They were wrong. He played 0:18:08.200 --> 0:18:10.639 like twelve games for this team and earned the ire 0:18:10.720 --> 0:18:15.320 of Frank Staffel forever Frankie Don. Carlos Stanton claimed yesterday 0:18:15.520 --> 0:18:18.520 he's ready to rock. There are no limitations on him 0:18:18.680 --> 0:18:20.840 and says, yeah, well, the age of a bunch this year. 0:18:21.080 --> 0:18:25.000 Are you back in Jian Carlos Stanton, I am not 0:18:25.040 --> 0:18:27.840 in on Jihan Carlos Stanton. Again, I liked to target 0:18:27.840 --> 0:18:30.680 batting average and stolen bases early on in my drafts, 0:18:30.720 --> 0:18:33.280 and John Carlos Stanton is still going in that fourth 0:18:33.359 --> 0:18:36.360 fifth round range. And look, if everything breaks right for him, 0:18:36.359 --> 0:18:40.000 you know, his ninety fifth percentile outcome is he's probably 0:18:40.040 --> 0:18:42.639 hitting over fifty home runs with a ton of RBIs 0:18:42.920 --> 0:18:44.800 in one of the best lineups in baseball, one of 0:18:44.840 --> 0:18:48.600 the best hitting ballparks in baseball. But I personally have 0:18:49.560 --> 0:18:52.720 question marks and skepticism when it comes to the health. 0:18:52.760 --> 0:18:55.960 How healthy can he be for this upcoming season and 0:18:56.119 --> 0:18:57.960 for the rest of his career. You know, he played 0:18:57.960 --> 0:19:01.960 eighteen games last year. He has another season. He played 0:19:01.960 --> 0:19:04.200 a hundred and nineteen games the year before that, seventy 0:19:04.200 --> 0:19:07.920 four games from eighteen he missed a total of seven games. 0:19:08.560 --> 0:19:11.159 If you get that out of stating, then he is 0:19:12.160 --> 0:19:15.280 going to pay off his value. But I just have 0:19:15.400 --> 0:19:17.320 question marks about the health Greg. I mean, can him 0:19:17.320 --> 0:19:20.360 and judge guys that are built the way that they are, 0:19:20.440 --> 0:19:23.520 can they withstand the course of an entire season that 0:19:23.640 --> 0:19:26.320 with a shoulder injury last year and knee injury last year, 0:19:27.280 --> 0:19:29.280 I'm not gonna have any Jihn Carlos Statin. If you're 0:19:29.280 --> 0:19:31.320 swinging for the fences and you want to go for 0:19:31.440 --> 0:19:34.520 upside in your middle rounds, go ahead, But personally I 0:19:34.600 --> 0:19:37.080 prefer someone who is just safer than John Carlos. It's 0:19:37.080 --> 0:19:39.280 funny because he's a guy that really fits the mold 0:19:39.280 --> 0:19:40.680 of what you learned last year, right, a guy that 0:19:40.760 --> 0:19:43.440 can finish as a first round pick that everyone's down 0:19:43.440 --> 0:19:45.280 on for one reason or not. I got it. You 0:19:45.280 --> 0:19:46.800 didn't like him two years again, you didn't like him 0:19:46.880 --> 0:19:50.320 last year. Um at the draft and there's so many injuries, 0:19:50.320 --> 0:19:51.679 Like he is that type of guy. He is that 0:19:51.720 --> 0:19:55.679 type of player like Clayton Kershaw last season. I understand 0:19:55.720 --> 0:19:58.199 why you're so down on him. Yet at Modica has 0:19:58.240 --> 0:20:01.040 pointing this out on Twitter too. How many seasons you 0:20:01.040 --> 0:20:02.840 you're probably looking at the stand grafts page right now. 0:20:03.359 --> 0:20:09.600 How many seasons? And again, if the names Greg would 0:20:09.600 --> 0:20:11.159 just want to strangle me. But of course when he 0:20:11.240 --> 0:20:14.400 does it fun How many seasons do you think John 0:20:14.400 --> 0:20:17.400 Carlos Stanton has over forty home runs? Greg three outside 0:20:17.800 --> 0:20:21.080 one it was the year he hit fifty nine. That's 0:20:21.119 --> 0:20:23.439 like really interesting, stant So he hit thirty eight in 0:20:23.480 --> 0:20:26.320 his first season with the Yankees. He has another season 0:20:26.320 --> 0:20:29.520 with He has two other seasons with thirty seven. If 0:20:29.520 --> 0:20:32.879 you just haven't gotten enough consistency out of gian Carlos 0:20:32.920 --> 0:20:35.680 stan If you're somebody who likes to take risks early 0:20:35.720 --> 0:20:38.200 on in your draft and you're looking for someone who 0:20:38.240 --> 0:20:41.000 can you know, outperform their ADP, I'm not going to 0:20:41.040 --> 0:20:43.560 doubt that from Stanton. He has huge upside. I also 0:20:43.600 --> 0:20:46.800 think that he is incredible downside as well. UM, I 0:20:46.840 --> 0:20:49.240 won't be targeting him. But if you want that upside 0:20:49.240 --> 0:20:51.720 in the fourth fifth round range and Stanton is your guy, 0:20:51.840 --> 0:20:55.639 But who is this year's gian Carlos Stanton? Who's going 0:20:55.680 --> 0:20:58.560 to let us down like Stanton did? We're gonna answer 0:20:58.560 --> 0:21:01.320 that question in a game. We like to call who 0:21:01.400 --> 0:21:10.800 is this year's Giancarlos Stanton? Familiar faces? One out place 0:21:11.040 --> 0:21:14.919 and there you got one out face its pay Who's 0:21:15.040 --> 0:21:18.320 this year's gian Carlos Stanton? Frank, Yesterday we talked a 0:21:18.320 --> 0:21:21.120 lot about Aaron Judge and his injuries and how you're 0:21:21.119 --> 0:21:23.639 a little bit nervous about him. Is he's someone that 0:21:23.640 --> 0:21:26.280 could be this year's gian Carlos Stanton. I think that 0:21:26.359 --> 0:21:29.600 Aaron Judge can be in this category of someone that's 0:21:29.680 --> 0:21:31.600 going in the early rounds and the second third round 0:21:31.680 --> 0:21:34.919 range that can let you down this upcoming season. Not 0:21:34.960 --> 0:21:36.439 really a target of mind. But I'm gonna go in 0:21:36.440 --> 0:21:39.320
