I know it sounds crazy, but we're here. 29 00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:15,920 Speaker 1: Let's get after it. Let's kick things off in a 30 00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:18,720 Speaker 1: big way this week with a big prospect. That's Ellie 31 00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:22,400 Speaker 1: dela Cruz of the Cincinnati Reds, shortstop rostered and almost 32 00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:23,440 Speaker 1: sixty percent of a league. 33 00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:25,160 Speaker 2: So you get better get on this one. Okay, do 34 00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:26,759 Speaker 2: it as soon as you can. And if you have. 35 00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:29,920 Speaker 1: Weekly waivers, well, guess what, it's time to open up 36 00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:31,960 Speaker 1: the purse strings because this guy's going to be a 37 00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:35,160 Speaker 1: difference maker. So far at Triple A this year, Ellie 38 00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:39,000 Speaker 1: de la Cruz has eleven homers, thirty three RBI and 39 00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:40,200 Speaker 1: also eleven steals. 40 00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:41,679 Speaker 2: He's hitting an incredible. 41 00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:44,120 Speaker 1: Three oh four four to oh one OBP six fifty 42 00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:47,280 Speaker 1: nine slugging with a ten sixty one ops. That's the 43 00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:49,560 Speaker 1: stuff dreams are made of, boys and girls. So you 44 00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:52,000 Speaker 1: want to add Ellie de la Cruz because it's only 45 00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:54,760 Speaker 1: a matter of time before the Cincinnati Reds do Elie 46 00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:56,880 Speaker 1: Dela Cruz really has nothing left to prove a triple A. 47 00:01:57,040 --> 00:01:59,760 Speaker 1: He is still young, we know this, just twenty one 48 00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:01,920 Speaker 1: year years old. He just can get a beer to 49 00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:04,120 Speaker 1: celebrate if he does get the big call up. But 50 00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:06,720 Speaker 1: the potential for him the rest of the season to 51 00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:09,440 Speaker 1: make a big Fantasy impact is there. It's there in 52 00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:12,160 Speaker 1: points leagues, it's there in roto leagues. Yes, he still 53 00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:13,519 Speaker 1: strikes out a little bit too much. 54 00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:14,280 Speaker 2: That's okay. 55 00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:16,960 Speaker 1: We will take the power in the Speak combination, and 56 00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:19,440 Speaker 1: we will take all the talent. It'll be very easy 57 00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:21,720 Speaker 1: for the Reds to move some other pieces around to 58 00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:24,320 Speaker 1: make room for Ellie Dela Cruz. And so far the 59 00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:27,680 Speaker 1: rumors are true. He is going to be up sooner 60 00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:31,640 Speaker 1: than later. So be aggressive, get Ellie Dela Cruz, and 61 00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:34,920 Speaker 1: hopefully this guy can be a potential league winner in 62 00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:36,080 Speaker 1: twenty twenty three. 63 00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:37,359 Speaker 2: Next up on the. 64 00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:41,040 Speaker 1: List is a second chance for Jake McCarthy, outfielder for 65 00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:44,520 Speaker 1: the Arizona Diamondbacks. Rostered in about forty percent of leagues, 66 00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:47,239 Speaker 1: so the beginning of the season for Jake McCarthy did 67 00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:50,520 Speaker 1: not go very well. He basically found himself hitting under 68 00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:53,720 Speaker 1: two hundred in his first twenty two games and looked 69 00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:55,640 Speaker 1: nothing like the player we saw at the end of 70 00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:58,519 Speaker 1: twenty twenty two. However, it looks like he's right of 71 00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:01,440 Speaker 1: the ship because when he got sent down to Triple A. Yes, 72 00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:04,000 Speaker 1: I know it's the PCL, but still, he hit three 73 00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:06,560 Speaker 1: thirty three with a four to nineteen OBP and a 74 00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:08,920 Speaker 1: five thirty three slugging, not to mention a nine to 75 00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:12,280 Speaker 1: fifty two ops with four bombs and seventeen homers. 76 00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:14,160 Speaker 2: He also stole four bases. 77 00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:16,400 Speaker 1: So what you like about McCarthy is the fact that 78 00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:19,200 Speaker 1: he has that stolen base capability and he also has 79 00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:20,680 Speaker 1: got a little pop to go along with it. 80 00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:23,000 Speaker 2: Now, since he's been recalled by the d Backs. 81 00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:26,119 Speaker 1: In his first six games, he's got four RBI, he's 82 00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:29,640 Speaker 1: only struck out three times, has two walks, and five 83 00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:32,480 Speaker 1: stolen bases. That's right, count him five. That's almost a 84 00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:34,480 Speaker 1: steal per game. He's hitting four hundred. Now, that's not 85 00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:37,000 Speaker 1: gonna last either. But the whole point is something was 86 00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:39,600 Speaker 1: off with Jake McCarthy, and it seems like the Diamondbacks 87 00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:42,400 Speaker 1: organization has got him back on track. With all the 88 00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:44,240 Speaker 1: injuries we've had in the outfit in the last few weeks, 89 00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:46,960 Speaker 1: including Cedric Mullins. This could be a really good opportunity 90 00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:49,240 Speaker 1: to pick up McCarthy for just a few bucks, plug 91 00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:51,360 Speaker 1: him into your lineup and see if you can fill 92 00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:53,560 Speaker 1: that void that a guy like Mullins has left. With 93 00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:56,280 Speaker 1: the pop and the speed and maybe a better batting 94 00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:58,920 Speaker 1: average to boot. So it's time to give Jake McCarthy 95 00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:01,600 Speaker 1: a second chance. Find it in your hearts and find 96 00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:03,600 Speaker 1: him on your waiver wire and add him to your 97 00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:06,800 Speaker 1: team in Week ten. Let's head back to Cincinnati for 98 00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:09,560 Speaker 1: another addition for our Week ten waiver wire, and it's 99 00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:13,480 Speaker 1: starting pitcher Ben Lively of the Reds. Rostered in about 100 00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:16,600 Speaker 1: twenty five percent of leagues, so Ben Lively has had 101 00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:18,839 Speaker 1: a good little run here and it's very quiet because 102 00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:21,720 Speaker 1: the Reds are still a team that frankly flies under 103 00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:24,040 Speaker 1: the radar. Over his last three outings, a thirty one 104 00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:27,000 Speaker 1: year old has a two point zero eight ERA, a 105 00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:28,440 Speaker 1: nine to whip. 106 00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:29,400 Speaker 2: And twenty two k's. 107 00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:32,440 Speaker 1: There's just five walks in his last seventeen innings. So 108 00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:35,040 Speaker 1: the trick is, can he sustain anything close to this 109 00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:36,280 Speaker 1: over a long period of time. 110 00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:38,240 Speaker 2: That's kind of an unknown. 111 00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:40,480 Speaker 1: The good part is he's probably not going to cost 112 00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:42,599 Speaker 1: you much to find out, and we always need to 113 00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:45,360 Speaker 1: add starting pitching as often as we can. Ben Lively 114 00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:47,680 Speaker 1: is not a prospect. He's thirty one years old, he's 115 00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:48,880 Speaker 1: had injuries, he's had. 116 00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:49,800 Speaker 2: All kinds of issues. 117 00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:51,960 Speaker 1: But if he's kind of found himself later in his 118 00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:54,280 Speaker 1: career and he could just stay hot for another half 119 00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:56,960 Speaker 1: a dozen starts, who knows how helpful that can be 120 00:04:57,200 --> 00:04:58,560 Speaker 1: by the time you look up at the end of 121 00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:01,520 Speaker 1: your standing. So once again, just like McCarthy, spend a 122 00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:03,680 Speaker 1: few bucks on Ben Lively. See if you can keep 123 00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:05,880 Speaker 1: this trend going, because if he can, he could be 124 00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:08,000 Speaker 1: an asset, and who knows, he might even become a 125 00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:10,279 Speaker 1: trade chip if he does it for two straight months, 126 00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:12,440 Speaker 1: and you can get out of the Ben Lively business. 127 00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:14,400 Speaker 1: But he got to get into the business first, So 128 00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:16,160 Speaker 1: try to add him this week, see if he can 129 00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:18,559 Speaker 1: work him into the rotation, because so far, so good 130 00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:21,360 Speaker 1: when it comes to Ben Lively for the Cincinnati Reds, 131 00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:22,760 Speaker 1: let's add some power. 132 00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:23,560 Speaker 2: In Week ten. 133 00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:28,279 Speaker 1: Nolan Jones of the Colorado Rockies outfielder rostered in about 134 00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:31,200 Speaker 1: twenty five percent of leagues, now here you go. Nolan 135 00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:33,680 Speaker 1: Jones is a player that really has nothing left to 136 00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:36,239 Speaker 1: prove a triple A. He had three point fifty six 137 00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:39,000 Speaker 1: there with a for eighty one obp, a seven eleven 138 00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:41,880 Speaker 1: slugging that is a big gulpe of slugging boys and girls, 139 00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:44,800 Speaker 1: and an eleven ninety three ops. He also had twelve 140 00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:48,440 Speaker 1: bombs forty two RBI. He stole five bases for good measure, 141 00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:52,159 Speaker 1: and he also scored thirty eight runs at thirty nine games. 142 00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:55,160 Speaker 1: He probably even calls his mom on the weekends, he 143 00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:57,520 Speaker 1: is that good of a boy. But Nolan Jones so 144 00:05:57,560 --> 00:05:59,960 Speaker 1: far finally got the call up and he's looked okay, 145 00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:02,680 Speaker 1: hitting two sixty seven over his first five games. He's 146 00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:04,880 Speaker 1: already popped his first big league home run. A super 147 00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:07,360 Speaker 1: exciting there. On that front, it's a matter of playing 148 00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:09,080 Speaker 1: time and leaving the kid alone. 149 00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:10,799 Speaker 2: Are there going to be ups and downs? Yes? 150 00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:13,479 Speaker 1: Does he take too many pitches sometimes you can argue that, 151 00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:15,600 Speaker 1: but he did have thirty three walks in thirty nine 152 00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:19,120 Speaker 1: games despite the high strikeout total two, so sometimes he 153 00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:21,320 Speaker 1: might fall into that loop of not being aggressive enough 154 00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:24,760 Speaker 1: at the plate. Regardless, you want guys in Colorado hitting 155 00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:28,600 Speaker 1: baseballs at alarming rates, and that's what Nolan Jones is doing. So, 156 00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:32,520 Speaker 1: in the words of the immortal Counting Crows, mister Jones 157 00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:38,800 Speaker 1: and me gonna be big stars. Yeah, you can never 158 00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:41,120 Speaker 1: have enough starting pitching. So let's add another one this 159 00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:44,719 Speaker 1: week in Week ten, it's JP Franz of the Houston Astros, 160 00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:47,360 Speaker 1: rostered in almost fifty percent of leagues, so you better 161 00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:50,200 Speaker 1: get on this one. So far, in five starts this year, 162 00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:53,400 Speaker 1: he's one in one over twenty seven innings, twenty six strikeouts, 163 00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:56,080 Speaker 1: eight walks, a one point three whip and a four ERA. 164 00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:58,159 Speaker 1: So I know what you're saying, Why am I excited 165 00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:00,720 Speaker 1: about a four Era? Well, he's been limited in some 166 00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:02,600 Speaker 1: of these starts too in terms of pitch counts, so 167 00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:04,640 Speaker 1: he's probably been about a five inning guy most of 168 00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:07,760 Speaker 1: the time out But JP Franz probably isn't going anywhere 169 00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:09,600 Speaker 1: for the foreseeable future in this rotation. 170 00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:12,560 Speaker 2: Lance mccullor's re injured himself on his rehab. 171 00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:14,679 Speaker 1: So he's not gonna be back anytime soon, if at all, 172 00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:17,840 Speaker 1: in twenty twenty three, and the Astros have more than 173 00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:20,000 Speaker 1: one hole to fill in their rotation, not to mention 174 00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:23,400 Speaker 1: trade targets like Edward or Rodriguez of the Detroit Tigers 175 00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:25,880 Speaker 1: are on the shelf as well, So the Astros are 176 00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:27,440 Speaker 1: gonna have to make do with what they've got. 177 00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:29,680 Speaker 2: JP France is what they've got, and if. 178 00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:32,760 Speaker 1: This offense starts to finally turn things around, JP France 179 00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:35,080 Speaker 1: might be someone who could really be helpful to your 180 00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:38,520 Speaker 1: rotation in Fantasy again, a plug and play matchup two 181 00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:41,120 Speaker 1: start kind of guy who's not gonna cost you too much, 182 00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:43,480 Speaker 1: but it's probably gonna make more starts than you realize 183 00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:46,360 Speaker 1: in the months ahead. So add JP France and plant 184 00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:49,440 Speaker 1: your flag there in the rotation, last, but not least 185 00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:51,680 Speaker 1: in those leagues where you got to look for holds 186 00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:55,160 Speaker 1: and maybe some help with your ratios. What about Ben Joyce, 187 00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:58,000 Speaker 1: the relief pitcher for the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim 188 00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:01,440 Speaker 1: rostered in about fifteen percent of life now, Ben Joyce 189 00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:04,240 Speaker 1: made his MLB debut and it was a pretty good 190 00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:06,920 Speaker 1: one to start. He's already got four strikeouts in his 191 00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:09,560 Speaker 1: first two innings, so he has been absolutely dominant. He's 192 00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:12,760 Speaker 1: also clocking in at one hundred and two Yes, that's right, 193 00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:15,160 Speaker 1: one hundred and two miles an hour. On that fastball 194 00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:16,520 Speaker 1: that is some filthy stuff. 195 00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:18,560 Speaker 2: Is he gonna close? Probably not. 196 00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:21,480 Speaker 1: It looks like Estevez kind of has that role on Lockdown. 197 00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:23,800 Speaker 1: But if you're looking for some help with your ratios 198 00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:26,520 Speaker 1: and deeper leagues, if you're looking for some holds in 199 00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:29,480 Speaker 1: the leagues that reward them, Joyce could be a useful 200 00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:32,520 Speaker 1: piece for the Angels and your fantasy team in those circumstances. 201 00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:35,520 Speaker 1: So add this guy because he's gonna keep getting opportunities 202 00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:37,680 Speaker 1: if he keeps throwing balls over one hundred miles an 203 00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:38,880 Speaker 1: hour at the big league level. 204 00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:40,320 Speaker 2: So there you have it. 205 00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:42,240 Speaker 1: Those are the names to add a Major League Baseball 206 00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:44,360 Speaker 1: in Week ten.
