Speaker 1: listening to the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. Did let me
Speaker 1: just become best friends? Fantasy best Friends Forever? Our number
Speaker 1: two best friends forever Fantasy Sports Radio Network that worth
Speaker 1: out great. Alongside like stamfle and GRG Sassman, we're joined
Speaker 1: by the closer. Christ. How you feeling Chris? What's up?
Speaker 1: What's up? I'm feeling good. I just sleep last night.
Speaker 1: Good good Friday at a draft last night. Again I
Speaker 1: almost forgot about So here's the issue. Most people, they
Speaker 1: sleep really well on the weekends and they come in
Speaker 1: Monday and all right, I slept great, kind of refreshed.
Speaker 1: You don't know, that's part of the issue. And they
Speaker 1: stay up real late on the weekend. Yeah, that's kind
Speaker 1: of the issue. I think. Yeah, it kind of fund
Speaker 1: the crux and you're sleeping profitable. Yeah, you throw yourself off,
Speaker 1: stay stay up late on the weekend. You got to
Speaker 1: try and find some waiting to catch. On the weekdays,
Speaker 1: you wake up early. Obviously you're in here making graphics.
Speaker 1: My theory is that if I don't sleep a lot
Speaker 1: during the weekend, that I'll be tired and go to
Speaker 1: sleep early on the weekdays. It doesn't usually work out
Speaker 1: like that, though, I'm saying, so it's time to change
Speaker 1: the theory. You need a new formula. Enough of success,
Speaker 1: yere vntra. I actually got a question in the chat
Speaker 1: that wanted me to ask how you're doing. Make sure
Speaker 1: that you're okay, because in the draft that people participated
Speaker 1: with you last last night, they said you didn't take
Speaker 1: Azzi Albis. Sure that you're okay. They everybody was expecting
Speaker 1: me to grab Ausi Albies at this one point, and
Speaker 1: I said, I don't really need him, had Jose Ramirez.
Speaker 1: I didn't really need Azzi Albies. I needed pitching, so
Speaker 1: I went pitching for a closed Albis. I think I
Speaker 1: took Roberto Sona something like that. Get a closing, get
Speaker 1: close cloth closing, gets closer. Yeah, it's Roto draft. That's
Speaker 1: my first Roto draft last night in years years. It
Speaker 1: was fun but glad you enjoy anybody. And it was simple,
Speaker 1: you know simple, uh, you know stats that you need
Speaker 1: to competing against. Jim was in this draft. Jim Day
Speaker 1: was in this draft. We had the mailman who Rock
Speaker 1: Caft is, the Ron Cafferty is the commissioner. Shout out
Speaker 1: to him. He did a good job and it was fun.
Speaker 1: It was fun, did a good time, went quick relatively,
Speaker 1: and I think I did all right. Sure, So that's
Speaker 1: it I had. I had a home league draft last
Speaker 1: night as well, eating against our our own Michael Florio,
Speaker 1: the one with your father in it. Yes, my dad,
Speaker 1: isn't it Actually I can read you some of my
Speaker 1: dad's players. Is that while he's drafted, I'm thinking Ventro
Speaker 1: would love this team. Oh yeah, Ventro would love this team. Actually,
Speaker 1: we debated yesterday what should my dad do? He ended
Speaker 1: up taking my track. Actually he took Mike trap first
Speaker 1: overall at the two three you have to take pitching.
Speaker 1: He doesn't have his fourth and fifth round picks because
Speaker 1: he's keepers, so he ended up he got Strasberg and Burials.
Speaker 1: Mind you keeper league. So a lot of pictures were
Speaker 1: already taken. They were kept, so that's not bad. The
Speaker 1: second third in this draft is more like the fourth fifth.
Speaker 1: We ends up with Strasburg and Burrios. I like that.
Speaker 1: But he also he got Josh got Josh Bell. That's
Speaker 1: my boy, guy, he got speaking of your dad. By
Speaker 1: the way, come in the studio next week, coming in
Speaker 1: studio Tuesday. How about that Tuesday season predictions? We can
Speaker 1: do some season predictions teams. Oh, I like that. Do
Speaker 1: you see team over under team over unders with him
Speaker 1: and awards with him? That's fun. I like that. I
Speaker 1: would like to do that. Of course, pick some teams
Speaker 1: who would have win division. Yeah, we'll do all of it. Actually,
Speaker 1: last year I predicted, correctly Jacob the Ground would win
Speaker 1: the L did I also predicted Gary Sanchez would win
Speaker 1: the a L M v P. I just did not think.
Speaker 1: I think, I think Aaron Judge, there's your law of averages. Yeah,
Speaker 1: get one right on real wrong. That's a tough one. Florio.
Speaker 1: Pick Blake's not win the Scion actual, yes, my guy,
Speaker 1: all right, so look at that. Uh tear it up
Speaker 1: to predict both young's. Now you have to get something
Speaker 1: right this year. Try my last year. I think Aaron
Speaker 1: Judge is the m v P. Jolice Severino has a
Speaker 1: side hung and Glaver Torre. Hey, that wasn't bad though,
Speaker 1: I mean those guys all didn't. Maybe you should go
Speaker 1: back to the Yankee well again he probably Carlin. Yeah,
Speaker 1: James Pats who did win a le rookie deal issue,
Speaker 1: that would be shoheyo, Tani, we'll eat out Miguel and
Speaker 1: Hard can do her m h. I don't know. I
Speaker 1: can do with your dad. My dad also drafted Joy Lucazy.
Speaker 1: That was another round likely. Yeah, what do you get him? Late?
Speaker 1: Probably right? He got him. I've that's awesome. I guess
Speaker 1: in then I got him really last night? Yeah, I
Speaker 1: got him like the nineteenth round last so nobody is
Speaker 1: to the show. He ended up with Matt Strom and
Speaker 1: Domingo Santana. There you go. League Spoty got Austin Hayes.
Speaker 1: Who do you like better? His team or your team?
Speaker 1: I love Mike, you love your team? Have you ever
Speaker 1: said I don't like my team very early? The pitching staff,
Speaker 1: I'm cool with that. I got it Ward of Rodriguez
Speaker 1: as well. I can't even be bomb don't do that.
Speaker 1: Let and Greg. I got a Greg guy, got Wade
Speaker 1: Miley on the bench. I loo, how Wade Miley is
Speaker 1: the Greg guys? Guy, way, those are your guys? Are
Speaker 1: they not? Come on? I would say Murphy is one
Speaker 1: of his guys. I got Murphy on this team too.
Speaker 1: I got Gregory Polanco very late keeper draft that cash
Speaker 1: him on the injured list to get on there. The one,
Speaker 1: the one takeaway from the team that I don't really like.
Speaker 1: I played third base Chicken I lost. I love it,
Speaker 1: I love it. I got mikeel Franco's started third I
Speaker 1: don't love it. I don't know we love it. He
Speaker 1: was on the tier that we that we said our
Speaker 1: third basement. All right, So what happened was I was
Speaker 1: debating Mustakis and Chapman in the sixth round keeper draft.
Speaker 1: I was beating both of them. So you know what
Speaker 1: I said, I'll take whoever comes back to me. Came
Speaker 1: back to David dal David d and you had heard pick.
Speaker 1: So it's like, all right, I don't want to which
Speaker 1: way was it going? It was it was going the
Speaker 1: short wave. So that's why I was like, oh, you know,
Speaker 1: I got well, I would have known the I would
Speaker 1: have done the same thing to David Dahl, and I
Speaker 1: got him as my third outfielder. I said, all right,
Speaker 1: let me see if I can get one of these
Speaker 1: third bases. That's actually that's actually surprising that neither of
Speaker 1: them came back to you. That's that sucks your guy
Speaker 1: to take one of them. Yes, he took Michael Stock.
Speaker 1: This is the show. Like that, this is the show
Speaker 1: the moose. He did a good job. Sounds like great.
Speaker 1: You want to lunch bet we were talking about it
Speaker 1: during the break. I want to lunch eat. Alonso will
Speaker 1: start on the opening day roster New York Men. Got it.
Speaker 1: I got it for me. Let's go mats. I don't
Speaker 1: know that, um, Pete Alonso gonna start an opening day roster.
Speaker 1: Start on the opening day roster. I mean he's gotta start,
Speaker 1: I would say at first, basis no reason to have
Speaker 1: on the bench. Yeah, I know, Dominic Smith is having
Speaker 1: a big spring, and look, maybe he hasn't had a
Speaker 1: fair shake, but Pete Alonso's crushing it in the spring.
Speaker 1: I think he has thirty home run upside. The thing
Speaker 1: I worried about what Peter Alonzo is where's the batting average?
Speaker 1: Going to settle in it because it was very good
Speaker 1: in double A. Last year when he went up to
Speaker 1: triple A came down, the strikeouts went up. I think
Speaker 1: he'll you know, he'll probably be around like strikeout right guy.
Speaker 1: It's the ball very hard, so we might be able
Speaker 1: to overcome that. The difference is if he's a two
Speaker 1: thirty hitter verse being a two sixty, because I can
Speaker 1: see both outcomes from Pete Alonzo, a guy who's gonna
Speaker 1: I expect to strike out about a quarter of the time, probably,
Speaker 1: but I'm excited about it. You think he would settle it.
Speaker 1: Do you think he's closer to thirty or closer to sixty?
Speaker 1: You're optimistic? Excuse me, I don't want he doesn't like Peter.
Speaker 1: Where you at on Pete Alonzo venture. I like him
Speaker 1: a lot, and I think that the average maybe the
Speaker 1: first year isn't gonna be what you want, but I
Speaker 1: think the power will be there so you'll be okay
Speaker 1: with it. What are you getting him? Brand? He had
Speaker 1: like a four fifty ft home run two weekends ago.
Speaker 1: The power is about it. He's got six home runs
Speaker 1: on the spring already. I believe m. I mean that's tops. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I mean he's crushing it, so I just think he's
Speaker 1: gonna go through slumps. You're gonna get your fast hair. So,
Speaker 1: especially as a rookie, ye first exposure to two major
Speaker 1: league pitching, That's why I worry a little bit more
Speaker 1: about the batting average. Who would you, guys rather have
Speaker 1: the Battle of New York? Luke Voit for Pete Alonso.
Speaker 1: He's very close. It's very close. I'll take mm hmmm.
Speaker 1: I would take Alonzo Anso too. Yeah, I'll stick with Lucavo.
Speaker 1: I was in that situation last night. I think Luke
Speaker 1: Void's playing time is gonna be That's what I was
Speaker 1: thinking too. That is how I was thinking between Voit
Speaker 1: and uh Alonzo. At one point, they were lingering on
Speaker 1: the board for a long time and I was like,
Speaker 1: which one do I want? Though? End up with either neither.
Speaker 1: I just continued to pass on that. You're like, I'll
Speaker 1: get them later on. It never happened. I just kept
Speaker 1: passing until I got Bell later much later. Ended up
Speaker 1: with Justin Smoke is my corner life at c J.
Speaker 1: Crony know, I love CJ. Let's go twins. What do
Speaker 1: you like My middle infielder as well. What do you
Speaker 1: like c Jet thirty home runs last year, man, I
Speaker 1: think that goes under the radar. People might worry about
Speaker 1: the playing time for c J. Crone because they signed
Speaker 1: Margan Gonzalez. Remember, Gilson knows out for the first month
Speaker 1: of the season, so marwgn Zalaz could play third base.
Speaker 1: Plus he can move around. If you want to give
Speaker 1: someone else a day off, you give Scope a day off.
Speaker 1: Here you can play Marrow at second You could give
Speaker 1: Marrow Gonzalez a day in the outfield. All right, maybe
Speaker 1: c J. Crone, you know, doesn't play one game out
Speaker 1: of the week because they put Marwin Gonzalaz at first base.
Speaker 1: I still think c J. Crone is gonna play the
Speaker 1: majority of the time. He made games last year. He
Speaker 1: get thirty home runs, flies under the radar. And I'm
Speaker 1: very bullish on this Twins lineup. If he's sitting in
Speaker 1: the middle of this lineup, I mean he might have
Speaker 1: the opportunity to driving runs. This year hit thirty bombs,
Speaker 1: so maybe more, But it all depends on his perfect
Speaker 1: corner infielder. Here's the problem, right, his one thing that
Speaker 1: everybody likes him, why he's in the Major's power right.
Speaker 1: Everything else though, is a problem. To fifty three last
Speaker 1: year wasn't bad, but I'm expected. But like other power hitters,
Speaker 1: he's not gonna completely sink your batting average like it
Speaker 1: d to fifty to sixty. He did last year last
Speaker 1: year to fifty three, but I think that's going down.
Speaker 1: I don't think he's gonna be a career over to
Speaker 1: fifty hitter. I think he's more along along two in
Speaker 1: his career. He's a two sixty hitter for his career.
Speaker 1: And that's that's over two thousand plate appearances. What some
Speaker 1: crazy sample size river Blues. By the way, going back
Speaker 1: to the Lukeway for a second, you guys, I wanted
Speaker 1: to finish the chrome you went away from. You went
Speaker 1: away from Luke before I was ready, so I was
Speaker 1: trying to cut it in here. Okay, what do you
Speaker 1: got Luke's what's going on? The Yankees beat is very
Speaker 1: good chance, Luke Boyd's say, the All Star starter at
Speaker 1: first basis in the American League, very good chance, very
Speaker 1: good chance. That's the American League first base in the
Speaker 1: American League? Why not serious? What about Jose breve Right?
Speaker 1: You have a lot of the other ones are Nationally Freeman,
Speaker 1: smidt Rizzo, Hoskins, Ellinger. I can play uf Daniel Murphy,
Speaker 1: Joey Vado. That's true. It could have been mad Olson,
Speaker 1: but now I don't know what's going on with medals
Speaker 1: correct tagal r mac Carpenter. All right, Greg, he has
Speaker 1: a chance. I mean it's very good. He just name
Speaker 1: twenty nationally first basement, I have Frank significant That's that's
Speaker 1: what I expecting to be much better. That's one one
Speaker 1: guy you're telling me it's pretty good. There's gotta Benas
Speaker 1: ranked over him as well, but he's more of a deed.
Speaker 1: I would take Boyd has a better chance than Edwood.
Speaker 1: At this point, I again wins on his way out
Speaker 1: act accordingly, Cabrera could be Migel. I still I like, look,
Speaker 1: really as now has a second or third best chance.
Speaker 1: That's pretty good. That's a very good chance. I had
Speaker 1: a second or third best chance. That's a very good chance.
Speaker 1: That's a good call. I would still take Void over
Speaker 1: Peter Crone. I like, I like, yeah, like crony spines.
Speaker 1: Do you know what made me like him even more?
Speaker 1: The fact that I have the support from high stakes
Speaker 1: player from this past weekend. He got him everywhere, but
Speaker 1: Carol got him everywhere obviously, um irrespected player. J. Crone
Speaker 1: made me feel even better. But we're forgetting two first basements.
Speaker 1: That's gonna get in voids way, Matt Olson and call Santana,
Speaker 1: possibly Santana if they voted based on points league scoring,
Speaker 1: but everything else to jump up to. Also remember AMers,
Speaker 1: he's just so boring. Remember All Star Game is in
Speaker 1: Cleveland this year. I believe that's want to remind you
Speaker 1: of that. You also have justin smoke. Um, but Crone,
Speaker 1: he's the biggest problem. Doesn't walk When you're a power heady,
Speaker 1: you need to walk. Yeah, I mean see a powerlet
Speaker 1: hit that doesn't verage. It doesn't matter to me in
Speaker 1: Roto for Rhodo, if you can hit to sixty thirty
Speaker 1: home runs, that's fine, especially where he's going give me that.
Speaker 1: As it's to sixty then he's okay, Yeah, perfectly fine.
Speaker 1: You just gotta hope that average doesn't dip to like
Speaker 1: two thirty. I don't think it will. I think we
Speaker 1: have enough sample size from you might be to fifty.
Speaker 1: I don't even goes below two fifty. I think I
Speaker 1: think C J. Crones range of batting averages to fifty
Speaker 1: spin you're gonna go it's highest. I'm gonna say to sixty. Okay,
Speaker 1: close enough. This year it is in Cleveland, Greg the
Speaker 1: All Star Game logo is a guitar. Let's let's uh,
Speaker 1: because of fame is in Cleveland. Yeah, let's say a
Speaker 1: phone call in three seven at night. You're interested in
Speaker 1: taking the phone call, We're gonna take the phone call
Speaker 1: for guys. Stephen Massachusetts, what's up, Steve? Hey, what's up? Guys?
Speaker 1: How much? Man? How you doing? I'm doing all right.
Speaker 1: So I did a draft right before the season started,
Speaker 1: like like for those uh the games on Wednesday, and uh,
Speaker 1: with all what all the news of all these guys
Speaker 1: like making the roster, like padd Doc and like Pete Alonso.
Speaker 1: I wanted to get your thoughts on those guys because
Speaker 1: I have like like a couple of extra bench spots
Speaker 1: like I have Ian Hatt and I can even like
Speaker 1: drop him to like Peter Alonso, and I could even
Speaker 1: like get like Paddock once. Uh, Carlos Martinez has to
Speaker 1: go on the ihouse spot. And then I have another
Speaker 1: question about like a future guy that could be coming back,
Speaker 1: who's on the I l right now, but I wanted
Speaker 1: to get your thoughts on those guys first. Okay, so
Speaker 1: Paddick is a free agent in your league. If I'm
Speaker 1: deciding between Paddock and Pete Alonso, I would drop Ian
Speaker 1: Hab for either of them right now. I would definitely
Speaker 1: pick up Paddock first. I would wait until Carlos Martinez
Speaker 1: goes in the island and try and pick up Peter Alonso.
Speaker 1: To me, we'll put more of a priority on Paddock
Speaker 1: over all, no question about it. Depends on your roster
Speaker 1: to no, you know, just have the upside starting pitcher
Speaker 1: reddened up. There's a lot of upside first basement that
Speaker 1: you could get. We just look at c J. Crone
Speaker 1: that could only maybe do what Peter Odser could do.
Speaker 1: Chris Paddock is an upside pitcher. Really excites me more.
Speaker 1: Yeah in San Diego. Um, I don't know. I'm I'm
Speaker 1: pretty close with both of them though, like I half
Speaker 1: for either one though, Oh yeah, absolutely yeah. Jimmy Jimmy Nelson, Uh,
Speaker 1: you gots big on him when he comes back, because
Speaker 1: he's looking pretty good at spring right now, And I
Speaker 1: just wanted to know if I should stash him because
Speaker 1: he's maybe he has like the upside of like all
Speaker 1: the other Brewers pictures because he had that breakout season
Speaker 1: and then I know we have like that Tommy John
Speaker 1: and he was trying to push like to come back
Speaker 1: last year and it didn't work out. But should I
Speaker 1: like try to stash him and see if I can
Speaker 1: get anything novel? Yes, So we actually spoke about Jimmy
Speaker 1: Nelson in the first hour today and yesterday's show as well.
Speaker 1: I'd go as far as to say this, Greg, I'd
Speaker 1: rather stash Jimmy Nelson than Carlos Martinez. Yes, I'm just
Speaker 1: tasting stashing one of them on the I l well,
Speaker 1: it's just one. You don't even know if he's gonna
Speaker 1: be in the rotation with you. Might be in the bullpen,
Speaker 1: but that means he might be a closer you Haven. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I do like the prospects of Martins. I love I'm
Speaker 1: just I'm falling, I'm I love with you. I could
Speaker 1: also draw up a college glass now I'll do yeah
Speaker 1: glass now yeah, alright, Steve, we appreciate the cald buddy. Well,

Speaker 1: last night, let me get by CCR Bona and every
Speaker 1: question what did you say? Five bucks? So remember every
Speaker 1: word in this slover trying it's I try to do
Speaker 1: it last night and I couldn't do it moth people
Speaker 1: pay Harriet's Dreaman Norris, ded Shanna, Johnny Ray, North Pacific,
Speaker 1: South Pacific, Joe do you know the words? That's it.
Speaker 1: It's not Joe to mash you right there you go anyway,
Speaker 1: So yesterday Chris and I had a conversation with Frank
Speaker 1: about Jimmy Nelson where Frank slavered over him. Then for
Speaker 1: the first hour I had to sit and listen to
Speaker 1: Frank slaver over Jimmy Nelson, and then Nick and then
Speaker 1: Nick Pollock was was not slavering as much but slight slaver.
Speaker 1: I think, yeah, he was interested. He was interested, but
Speaker 1: it wasn't like a full on slaver like Frank was.
Speaker 1: And this is my version of you being slimy and Chris,
Speaker 1: I think we spent most of yesterday together on the
Speaker 1: same side saying, listen, this guy is hurt. He's not
Speaker 1: going to come back and just be the same time
Speaker 1: that he was in hasn't pitching a year and a half,
Speaker 1: hasn't pitched in a year and a half. That give
Speaker 1: me a guy that that that's healthy right now. I
Speaker 1: cannot guarantee that Jimmy Nelson is gonna just be Jimmy Nelson,
Speaker 1: and we need to see him get back on the mountain, right.
Speaker 1: We definitely did that. So that was you and I right,
Speaker 1: And Frank was like, like, this guy still is he?
Speaker 1: How do you know he's going to a pitch this year?
Speaker 1: How do you know how many stars Drew palm Red
Speaker 1: is gonna give you before he gets hurt? You know
Speaker 1: what I do know he's hurt too. No, no, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: I know that one guy's currently healthy and in the rotation.
Speaker 1: I know one of the healthy and in the rotation.
Speaker 1: Doesn't mean that he's going to not hurt you more
Speaker 1: than he's gonna have, but he's healthy. Right now, What
Speaker 1: is Jimmy Nelson? What's going on Jimmy Nelson? Frank, why
Speaker 1: don't give to their art listeners and viewers update? Well,
Speaker 1: Jimmy Elson is doing just fine. Really, Oh, Jimmy Nelson
Speaker 1: is dealing with elbow soreness. We just got this before
Speaker 1: the break, so uh during the break. So I know,
Speaker 1: I told Steve mass Chuttes will pick up Jimmy Nelson.
Speaker 1: Don't do that. Now it's a little bit more pessimistic. Now.
Speaker 1: This is from Tom Rod court Ruer's right hand pitcher
Speaker 1: Jimmy Nelson has some elbow storeness. After Thursday, outing will
Speaker 1: back off a bit, but not considered serious Greg, So
Speaker 1: we'll be all right here. So this is the first
Speaker 1: is the first time that Frank's ever heard of an
Speaker 1: elbow injury and and been not worried, been not worried.
Speaker 1: We started off the week talking about how if I
Speaker 1: was choosing between Fulton, Image, Severino and Kershaw, I would
Speaker 1: take Faulty. Said, let's do that on Monday before we
Speaker 1: even talked to drs Tuesday, and the way we talked
Speaker 1: to dr yesterday. Plus, you're taking Faulty because of the
Speaker 1: value that correct You're not telling is the best you'll
Speaker 1: taking the value taking the value correct me, Nelson's a
Speaker 1: great value and we'll continue to because it's only gonn
Speaker 1: slide down draft boards. Even more, he's gonna be the
Speaker 1: last pick of the should slide down, drink off the
Speaker 1: ear and the miners in the in the I l
Speaker 1: whatever it is. I can't trusting out of twelve team,
Speaker 1: but anything deeper than that fifteen team roto leagues for sure.
Speaker 1: I have shares of Jimmy Nelson. I'm holding on joy.
Speaker 1: I mean, if you could stick him in sure, But
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know he he may not come
Speaker 1: back back. Of course, he's gonna feel a little something.
Speaker 1: He'll be all right. He's already got an issue, a problems,
Speaker 1: an issue already. Rich Hill, about you called and we
Speaker 1: knew that was gonna happen too. Was on the show
Speaker 1: today next week. Okay, his mom is intent. His mom.
Speaker 1: It's very nice after. He's coming back though. He was
Speaker 1: going to visit us a big time. He doesn't need
Speaker 1: to come to be fair, to be fair in l A.
Speaker 1: Why aren't you coming here? Yeah, Well, if you're a
Speaker 1: real Mets fan, maybe you would come for the season opener.
Speaker 1: He usually does because he lived the Queens a little
Speaker 1: bit different. Now he'll go to games a little bit harder.
Speaker 1: I saw him when they played the Dodgers. Well. In
Speaker 1: our home league draft chat last night, he was talking
Speaker 1: to a buddy that we have that lives in errors own.
Speaker 1: He said, quote, I'm out here next weekend so we
Speaker 1: can watch rich Hill pitch against the Diamondbacks. I guess
Speaker 1: that won't be happening, Mike, that probably will not be happening,
Speaker 1: doesn't It doesn't seem that way. Well, this is exactly
Speaker 1: why the because of injuries. And this is the same
Speaker 1: thing with Jimmy Nelson. And this is what I told
Speaker 1: him when he called in. I said, just wait for
Speaker 1: someone in your league to drop Ridge Hill. Don't even
Speaker 1: draft him. He didn't say that, because it happens every year.
Speaker 1: He gets hurt early on in the season. He sucks
Speaker 1: every year in April, in May, and then he's awesome
Speaker 1: in the second half. Wait for someone to drop him
Speaker 1: and then pick him up because early he got dropped
Speaker 1: in our fifteen team league last year and we picked
Speaker 1: him up at that point. Sure, I'll read the rewards
Speaker 1: of rich Hill. I'm not gonna use draft capital take
Speaker 1: him in the tenth round of a draft like no, no, no,
Speaker 1: no no. He felt real far and last night's drift,
Speaker 1: I'll tell you that I skipped them many times. I
Speaker 1: want I wanted to in my draft to Tuesday and
Speaker 1: get him. I wanted him. And then is before news
Speaker 1: of injury though, of course obviously um speed of injuries.
Speaker 1: Another guy that Frank Las is injured, Stolling Marte was
Speaker 1: scribed with lower back discomfort. We talked to that a
Speaker 1: little bit yesterday in the show him the next week
Speaker 1: off he'll be fine. Have you ever heard this much
Speaker 1: injury optimism from selling Marte Luis Savarino dead things? It
Speaker 1: doesn't look very supposedly by the way of the rumor
Speaker 1: um that I read that my um frontexted meeting regards
Speaker 1: about Olsen was hammate boone. That's what people are nervous about.
Speaker 1: I haven't seen it would be very bad. That's what
Speaker 1: Stanton had a couple of years ago. So again I
Speaker 1: haven't seen that. I haven't seen it anywhere, so I
Speaker 1: have not been able to collaborate that traver rate that robbery.
Speaker 1: But that's the rumor, hammate, but hopefully not. What could
Speaker 1: that mean? Hammate? Bone was if you swing the bat
Speaker 1: weird you can break a bone in your hand, right
Speaker 1: if you actually how long would you be? Okay? And
Speaker 1: had this a couple of years ago, I don't remember that.
Speaker 1: That sounds like an accurate timetable, and that would that
Speaker 1: would actually rush people drafting metals. I mean we have
Speaker 1: them great, yeah, but we you know, we also have
Speaker 1: your guy and when we're Flora, we have Robinson Cano
Speaker 1: in Yahoo has first base eligibility. He does crazy, so
Speaker 1: we we'll figure it out. But you know, if he
Speaker 1: does miss time, who's the biggest beneficiary there? Had Pender
Speaker 1: play every day for sure, Mark Canna, I mean I'm
Speaker 1: talking about like only probably Mark Hanna. I would think
Speaker 1: probably Marc greg I got some news here. The starting
Speaker 1: rotation for the Dodgers opening senteries has been confirmed. It
Speaker 1: will be engine ryou Stripling, Meda, and Bueller in that order.
Speaker 1: So Walker, Bueller we'll be going the first time through
Speaker 1: here in the rotation, which is kind of what we
Speaker 1: thought the dogs when we re read like the tax
Speaker 1: and reread the kind of information there, it was kind
Speaker 1: of what we thought, right well, it was either going
Speaker 1: to be towards the end of the first time through
Speaker 1: the second time through, but he's gonna given the injuries
Speaker 1: are like, all right, we need an so they have
Speaker 1: Walker Dealer. And another note, Nick Senzel has been reassigned
Speaker 1: to minor league. Nick Senzel going to the minor leagues,
Speaker 1: not starting the season in the majors, which is good
Speaker 1: for you. It's not Jesse Winker fans out there. It's
Speaker 1: a good thing for you. Do you think Winker's the
Speaker 1: odd man out? Not necessarily. He's had a bad spring,
Speaker 1: which is the only thing that worries me because I
Speaker 1: think those are the players where you actually do have
Speaker 1: to pay attention to the spring, because obviously there's positions.
Speaker 1: There's so many players for the Cincinnati Reds in the outfield,
Speaker 1: from Scott Debler to camp A Winker, Senzel Wage obviously,
Speaker 1: so those are the guys that you have to pay
Speaker 1: attention to. UH, Jesse Winker has not had a good spring. Um,
Speaker 1: I would be lying if I said it doesn't worry
Speaker 1: me at all, because it kind of does. UM. I
Speaker 1: have him in a few locations, but they seem very
Speaker 1: scited about him, andor David Bell came out early in UH,
Speaker 1: early in camp and said, we want Winker to get
Speaker 1: Really I thought he might platoon because he's a left end.
Speaker 1: Then you got Kemp as a right he maybe platoon them.
Speaker 1: So I think it's likely kemping center though that's the thing, Well,
Speaker 1: you're not gonna play, So the my thought process is
Speaker 1: like Senzel was just gonna take plaintime away from everybody
Speaker 1: outside of I think Chler will start and and that's
Speaker 1: what you've said, and maybe they want Senzel to get
Speaker 1: more experience at the center field position because he's an infielder.
Speaker 1: His entire career. So I think that just having one
Speaker 1: of these after there's gone only helps a guy like Winker,
Speaker 1: only help Scotti, Cheveler, helps everybody. He's not there right now,
Speaker 1: but I mean it hurts for people who invest in Senzel.
Speaker 1: But he shouldn't be he shouldn't be gone for a while.
Speaker 1: Three weeks. I don't know if he's a three week guy.
Speaker 1: I don't want to guarantee that. No, it's not for sure,
Speaker 1: because I know the first date that you can get
Speaker 1: called up is April twelfth, April around their range Shout
Speaker 1: Out to the Bench with Bubba podcast he had James
Speaker 1: Anderson wrote a wire on and I was listening to
Speaker 1: that on the way in today Greg and apparently they
Speaker 1: were talking about, well, Senzel could just come up whenever
Speaker 1: he's first eligible, but that game is actually a Mexico series,
Speaker 1: so they're not gonna call Nick Senzel up to a
Speaker 1: Mexico series. So maybe slightly after that, you know, April
Speaker 1: would be great something like that. Yeah, i'd be happy
Speaker 1: with that. I just hope it doesn't link for a
Speaker 1: while and then all of a sudden he's not up
Speaker 1: till may You know what I mean? I would stink. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and he's actually climbing up draft boards a little bit.
Speaker 1: People are excited about him, but he had a lot
Speaker 1: of injury issues the last a couple of years. I'm
Speaker 1: not as excited as everyone else on Senzel this year.
Speaker 1: Maybe it's one of those things where, like, prove it
Speaker 1: to me this year, stay healthy, I'll be on you
Speaker 1: next year and everything. Like, you know, if everything works out,
Speaker 1: then he'll be drafted as a top sixties. I think
Speaker 1: he's prepared for the majors though, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: I know, but I also love the multiple position eligibility
Speaker 1: in a lot of leagues, so that to get a
Speaker 1: late round guy like that who could also be a
Speaker 1: stud is great, you know, because he could fill in
Speaker 1: a lot of spots outfield, second base, shortstop. He has
Speaker 1: those eligibilities on Yahoo. That's a great pick in the
Speaker 1: late rounds. That's why you want to see him come
Speaker 1: up and see what he can do. You're a little
Speaker 1: bit more optimistic than me on sense. Yeah, like sends
Speaker 1: a lot. Like sends it a lot. By the way,
Speaker 1: Brewers have signed a reliever and it is not Craig Kimberal.
Speaker 1: It's Alex Wilson. Who they signed, so maybe they're not
Speaker 1: going to get a Kimberle direction. Look, if kimber wants
Speaker 1: as much money as he was talking about, he wanted
Speaker 1: a long term deal now at this point, maybe he'll
Speaker 1: just take a one year deal at a high a
Speaker 1: a V. If that's something they were offering. Let's say,
Speaker 1: you know, if if the Brewers coming in and they're like,
Speaker 1: we'll give you one year, twenty two million, you're closer
Speaker 1: for this, maybe kimberll takes it. But if not, as
Speaker 1: of right now, if the season started today, Greg Josh
Speaker 1: Hayters absolutely absolutely also starting today, the closer in it Alanna,
Speaker 1: I know we're talking about splitting time with him and
Speaker 1: aj mintor Youna remember Mints and Pitched. He's still hurt
Speaker 1: from and Dave O'Brien tweeted this out. He's the Atlanta
Speaker 1: Beat reporter that the force from his seatbelt strap hurt
Speaker 1: his shoulder after he's in a minor car wreck and
Speaker 1: that's what has caused him to be out. That's that's
Speaker 1: not great. Yeah, you can't really So this Guyana will,
Speaker 1: you know, have an opportunity to really run away with
Speaker 1: this job. But this guy, you know, was dealing with
Speaker 1: a shoulder thing last year as well, right, Greg Hanna
Speaker 1: was out for a month of the sign out for
Speaker 1: a month or two in the summer. Yeah, I feel
Speaker 1: like I've read somewhere that Braves are going to be
Speaker 1: a little castes with him in terms of you using
Speaker 1: so that might limit his uh save upside as well. Yeah,
Speaker 1: are you interested in because of this moving him up
Speaker 1: the board? I am not. I'm not really I'd move
Speaker 1: up a little bit, A little bit, I move a
Speaker 1: little rather have right now, Greg, this Guyana or Hunter
Speaker 1: Stricklet we've seen games already, the closer for the Mariners. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I like the security as Jim about that. You know,
Speaker 1: if he's changed his tune, Greg, If if I asked
Speaker 1: you who in this Braves bullpen like if he can't
Speaker 1: go back to back days and a j Mint is
Speaker 1: not healthy, who is who's here that's gonna get save
Speaker 1: opportunity and Winkler? I know some people were talking about
Speaker 1: him last year he enters Jesse Biddle feels like he's
Speaker 1: been a prospect forever. Oh sign him. All indications it
Speaker 1: doesn't seem like the Braves want to spend much money
Speaker 1: inside of what they did with Donaldson, they had the
Speaker 1: opportunity to sign Dallas Kaiko. It's not Kimber, but it
Speaker 1: seems like you're not hearing a lot about that now.
Speaker 1: I don't think they want to spend that much more.
Speaker 1: Their parrol has gone down since last year. Interestingly enough,
Speaker 1: I know, I know they said Donaldson, but they have
Speaker 1: a lot of young players in their lineup. But I
Speaker 1: think it's interesting, like because Donaldson he made is playing,
Speaker 1: but he made the playoffs. Your window is now and
Speaker 1: your paris going down. Spend job of the brain. I
Speaker 1: don't I don't disagree and you will. About Dallas Kaiko,
Speaker 1: I don't think he's great. I think he's actually regressing
Speaker 1: a little bit here. They can use another veteran arm
Speaker 1: like that, you know, near the top of the rotation
Speaker 1: you have if you have a Tehran Kaiko Galman and
Speaker 1: then you you mix it up Bussan or something like that.
Speaker 1: I know that they have a lot of arms, like
Speaker 1: young arms. Kyle right right, tearing it up in this
Speaker 1: Max Free has been good too record, So we'll see
Speaker 1: what they do. As of right now, Rosster resource has
Speaker 1: Max Freed in the bullpen. Any chance he's he's save upgrade. No, no, no,
Speaker 1: he'll be more of a long reliever, potential starter. If
Speaker 1: someone goes down, I think the next man up would
Speaker 1: be Dan Winkle. I think we we have her. Craig
Speaker 1: Himberroll rumored back to Atlanta at one point before the
Speaker 1: way before the Milwaukee stuff came out. So see, you know,
Speaker 1: I think somewhere Kaio thing is weird too, like is
Speaker 1: clearly good enough A star somewhere absolutely makes a lot
Speaker 1: of sense too, right, shout to make some noises year.
Speaker 1: But I think he wants I think he just wants
Speaker 1: too much money. Still. Remember there was a rumor that
Speaker 1: he turned down a pretty substantial deal from the Astros
Speaker 1: last year. I think they offered him like five or
Speaker 1: seventy five or something like that. There's also a massive
Speaker 1: mistakes turning down a big deal of the asterisk, yes,
Speaker 1: which is you know when we were talking, we talked
Speaker 1: about this a couple of weeks ago. The agents have
Speaker 1: not been doing a great job. What happened with Michael stockis, well,
Speaker 1: that's a couple of years he hasn't you know, he
Speaker 1: hasn't done great well. That's why all these guys are
Speaker 1: now signing extensions that all these extensions for sale, about
Speaker 1: to get a monster one yesterday's one yesterday. You see
Speaker 1: even some of these younger players, a mans gets an extension, Supposedly,
Speaker 1: Verlander and Cole think it makes us nobody wants to
Speaker 1: get every agency. I'm sure you would, Frank, sure you
Speaker 1: would get him and pinch stripes acted by the new
Speaker 1: year King. Yes he wasn't. Remember that was one of
Speaker 1: the first years I was following the draft. Garry Cole
Speaker 1: got drafted and he never signed. I got a question, guys, sure,
Speaker 1: Speaking of closers, the Philly situation, Okay, Dave Robertson right
Speaker 1: now getting drafted as the closer. Yeah, I don't get
Speaker 1: that either. Sarranthony Domingo's is way better at this point.
Speaker 1: I think I don't know what I think he should
Speaker 1: be the closest. I don't know if I agree with that,
Speaker 1: but I don't know. And it's been it's Gave Kahler,
Speaker 1: and I just don't know that they're gonna have a
Speaker 1: set closer, but I really don't. I don't know. I
Speaker 1: don't think they're gonna try. It's just gonna go back
Speaker 1: and forth. Whoever's fresh last year? And why would he
Speaker 1: go away from what he agree with. So but the
Speaker 1: question is should there be this much of a discrepancy? Exactly,
Speaker 1: that's the real question. Even Robertson is going at pick
Speaker 1: one sixty seven over the past two days in the Wow,
Speaker 1: Sir Anthony Domingius is going exactly. I'm always I'm taking
Speaker 1: Domingos every time he picks difference. Would you rather have
Speaker 1: Domingus at the value or do you think a question
Speaker 1: that might split it? David Robertson might get to me,
Speaker 1: No question, it's Dominiez at that value. Like Robertson where
Speaker 1: he's being drafted, he being drafted is a bona fide closer.
Speaker 1: He's not that, absolutely not. So that's why you can
Speaker 1: be domini is all those because later no question, tons
Speaker 1: of potential to mean on the Phillies, Gordon Hicks, David Robertson,
Speaker 1: Jordan Hicks, Hicks. You don't know if he's going to
Speaker 1: be the closer you get either stand by Alex Ranson
Speaker 1: might have the closer that I've said that Robertson or
Speaker 1: Will Smith. I don't know who the closer is in
Speaker 1: San Francisco either neither. I think there's a good chance
Speaker 1: to Will Smith. That's traded to. That's a really tough one. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's a really tough one because I could easily see
Speaker 1: them given the contract trying to get Molansen to do
Speaker 1: it again. Molansen right for the past two days right there,
Speaker 1: because of what people saw in Japan. Guess where Hunter
Speaker 1: he moved up the board significantly. Yeah, it's not just significant.
Speaker 1: What is he moves that that's to that's crazy, not
Speaker 1: to signific it's very signic where people but like that's
Speaker 1: one of those easies to pay and what you got
Speaker 1: on six ahead he's ahead of David roberts Chaszy should be. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he's the closer. All right, that's the way. That's the lottery.
Speaker 1: Next staff league. It'll be fun. That's fun. Do it.

Speaker 1: While we want to out first first overall picks the
Speaker 1: first duck out. Oh, actually, I think I'm asking you
Speaker 1: want to go the first duck out is picked twelve
Speaker 1: For the first duck out to pick one, well, fourteen
Speaker 1: would be the first. Um, either one. I like going backwards. Two,
Speaker 1: I'll take backwards. You want to go back four team
Speaker 1: out first fourteen? I got this already right in mention,
Speaker 1: you want Steve to pick. He's the commissioner. He set
Speaker 1: the whole thing up. He's gonna pick the first one
Speaker 1: out close. Don't look, I don't. He can't look. When
Speaker 1: you do that, you gotta look at you gotta look

Speaker 1: you are number four s games. You know what's funny?
Speaker 1: He was gonna pay an extra fifty bucks just to
Speaker 1: have the first pick. He was doing some coluding with him.
Speaker 1: If he would have if we would have won to fourteen,
Speaker 1: he wouldn't have first pick. But he didn't. Should have
Speaker 1: offered more money. All right, Steve for thet pick in
Speaker 1: the twenty nineteen pit draft, he goes to Yang. Yeah, yeah,

Speaker 1: an expert you can't do by yourself. I actually have
Speaker 1: a shoot on Sunday which ends really really close to
Speaker 1: the draft, so he might started for me and then
Speaker 1: we'll continue it. Okay, so shot weekend. We're very business weekend.

Speaker 1: also helping make money. So now Greg, Greg has two
Speaker 1: friends that are getting engaged back to back days tonight
Speaker 1: and tomorrow, and Steve is shooting their engagements. We've got
Speaker 1: about four hours till one of them. Yeah, so Steve

Speaker 1: summer Fridays absolutely, friends, I don't care about watch Madness.
Speaker 1: Clearly one of them really done too. And I asked, like,
Speaker 1: are you nervous? He's more nervous for Buffalo? All right? Oh,
Speaker 1: he should be more nervous because he's he's like sick,
Speaker 1: you know, gosh, he's a sick human being. Kid. Uh,
Speaker 1: this kid that loves Buffalo, he Buffalo bulls. Okay, okay,
Speaker 1: money on it. So someone asked me in the chat earlier,
Speaker 1: can you talk about your cold pick in the second
Speaker 1: seems early. I took Garrit colast Night in the second.
Speaker 1: That's what I well, I had the I had the
Speaker 1: third pick overall of what pick overall? I believe we
Speaker 1: get all the way back and so right, No, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's that's fine though that yeah, I had the third pick,
Speaker 1: and so I got him with the eighth pick of
Speaker 1: the second round. You know the pictures before him with
Speaker 1: Justin Burlander, Chris Sale. You know, I don't think there's
Speaker 1: anything wrong with that. Right higher than that's you. I
Speaker 1: know who I want with ninth overall. I hope you
Speaker 1: don't take him. I think I know who you're thinking
Speaker 1: of it. I all then, No, it wasn't my think
Speaker 1: that overall. I would take him at an overall I'll
Speaker 1: tell you that right now. Right, you know, Frank's may
Speaker 1: fan too. But it's head to head, so things change
Speaker 1: a little bit. It's interesting. Yeah, I know what I
Speaker 1: want head the heads awesome a weekly basis secret. Love it.
Speaker 1: I love it. I know what I want. I think
Speaker 1: maybe get him to like I said loud, because you
Speaker 1: guys all I already said mine out loud. It's not
Speaker 1: fair you pick before me, I know, but all the
Speaker 1: people like everybody picks before you ain't gonna take. Yeah,
Speaker 1: there's actually big news. We spoke about it during the break.
Speaker 1: I actually will be updating my relief picture rankings inside
Speaker 1: the Patreon. Inside the patreons available right now. Subscribe to
Speaker 1: Franky's Patreon last week and of Fantasy drafts. You need
Speaker 1: all the up to date, up to date info, including
Speaker 1: Frank's updated rankings, which he says he's gonna do, so
Speaker 1: make sure you subscribe the patreon. Yes, I'm gonna spend
Speaker 1: spend the rest of today updating the position of rankings.
Speaker 1: I'm updating those on the site. I'm gonna update the
Speaker 1: closure tracker as well. I mean, this look like raft thing.
Speaker 1: It's all colorful based on get that up teams before Sunday. Please. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I got to do it for myself too. Yeah, i'd like,
Speaker 1: do you know what you're going in with? Climbing all
Speaker 1: the way up the board? Alex column now confirmed as
Speaker 1: the closer. What we expected to happen, But I mean
Speaker 1: it's a little bit it's a little bit more helpful
Speaker 1: Greg now that we know for sure he's been named
Speaker 1: the closer. So Alex Column which so yeah, so the
Speaker 1: question becomes when you guys, rather have Alex Columnar or
Speaker 1: Hunter Strickland. I moved them up back to back. I
Speaker 1: have Strickland fifteen and column A sixteen. Yeah, I rather
Speaker 1: have strictly, I think I think they're in the same boat.
Speaker 1: I think the White Sox might actually be a better
Speaker 1: team this year than so I don't disagree with that.
Speaker 1: I'd rather I'd rather have Strickland because if column A
Speaker 1: falters Horere is there Strictly falters, anybody there'll find someone
Speaker 1: if he's that bad, Yes, of course, but like column
Speaker 1: formaly know the first time he falters could be horrare.
Speaker 1: You know what I mean? Well, I don't. We don't
Speaker 1: know how long this question. I have a reliever question
Speaker 1: for you. What do you think about Vino this year?
Speaker 1: I like him as a reliever to fantasility os and
Speaker 1: give you yeah, that makes sense, right holds So that's
Speaker 1: kind of why. And I think a lot of leagues
Speaker 1: actually and to switch you know what matters that Stason Holds,
Speaker 1: David Robertson and Sranthony doming Yes, in the league like
Speaker 1: this and raft the best talent right when it comes
Speaker 1: to the relief pictures because the holds leaders are going
Speaker 1: to give you, you know, thirty to thirty five. Yeah,
Speaker 1: the top holds leaders. Well, Britain is going to be
Speaker 1: the Britain is gonna get the holds. The guess but
Speaker 1: I would think that right. So now Britain steps up
Speaker 1: to the eight role and I would think seven roll.
Speaker 1: That's what I'm thinking. I would say a lot of holes.
Speaker 1: So Britain's a guy to jump in on. I would
Speaker 1: jump in on before out of the value. Would you
Speaker 1: rather have you rather pay up a little bit more
Speaker 1: for Britain or take Davino a bit later. I'll just
Speaker 1: take the value. I'll take whoever goes last. That okay,
Speaker 1: And I think Attovino actually helps you more for fancy purpose,
Speaker 1: I can give you more strike out. Britain's very good,
Speaker 1: could have an elite ear, a elite whip. He doesn't
Speaker 1: strike out nearly as many batters as I think. This
Speaker 1: is where League should start to trend more saves plus holds.
Speaker 1: Because again we did the relief picture preview. What I
Speaker 1: said was in it saves plus hold League. At that point,
Speaker 1: you're just drafting the best talent, and that's how it
Speaker 1: should be. Like we shouldn't have to draft Cody Allen
Speaker 1: because he might give us thirty saves a four point
Speaker 1: five e r A over Josh Hayter. And that's the problem.
Speaker 1: Like half the team, well not half to I say
Speaker 1: about thirty teams in the league don't know who that
Speaker 1: closure is. You got two or three closes trying to
Speaker 1: figure it out, and you almost don't want to draft
Speaker 1: any of them. If you're in a saves league, you
Speaker 1: draft both three players a team that should be rosterable
Speaker 1: that you just can't hold on a team because they're
Speaker 1: not giving you anything, right, like a guy that's gonna
Speaker 1: give you one inning and two strikeout, it's worthless. Hold
Speaker 1: has no value, right, right, it should go over five
Speaker 1: last year, but he was consistently rostered because he gave
Speaker 1: people the thirty saves and I drafted him last time.
Speaker 1: And Frondsky another one you know who's really Ryan Pressley
Speaker 1: and he was nasty down to stretch for them. So yeah,
Speaker 1: there's a lot of guys there. You go, guys, study up,
Speaker 1: study up when you set up man over the weekend
Speaker 1: and find out just serious for leavers aren't waiting for
Speaker 1: your for your list man and you're you know I
Speaker 1: actually do on the closer tracker? Is I I tracked
Speaker 1: the obviously the guys who expect for the ninth inning,
Speaker 1: but also I put the next man up set up
Speaker 1: relievers do that as well? Have that hopefully done by tonight.
Speaker 1: You're right about that too, which should go in that direction.
Speaker 1: Saves hold should be uh standard thing. Eventually it should
Speaker 1: be a standard. Then we don't want to worry about
Speaker 1: taking and when d has in the fourth round, I
Speaker 1: never do have people do. But would you not rather
Speaker 1: have the fifth best reliever than the third worst closer
Speaker 1: which you might want to roster in a Yeah? Did
Speaker 1: you have Shane Green everywhere? Man? To him? The other
Speaker 1: day in GSC? You have him everywhere? Man? That wasn't
Speaker 1: It wasn't. Yeah, But it's gonna take It's gonna take
Speaker 1: a long time for it to become an industry standard, though,
Speaker 1: I mean usually these things take wait. So in my opinion,
Speaker 1: it's similar to fantasy football superlex have PPR to me
Speaker 1: should be the standard PPR to because full PPR is
Speaker 1: you're overvaluing wide receivers and pass catching running backs who
Speaker 1: might not have that much value for an actual football team.
Speaker 1: You're overvaluing them too much for fantasy. All PPR was
Speaker 1: made because wide receivers did not have enough value in
Speaker 1: the nine in the early two thousands, when running backs
Speaker 1: were dominating fantasy, when the entire first round was running back,
Speaker 1: they needed to create PPR to make wide receivers better.
Speaker 1: Now the spectrum has gone the complete other way. Wide
Speaker 1: receivers are really really good again. Why can't we just
Speaker 1: make it half PPR? And I know this is the
Speaker 1: point that Jake has made about PPR is should you
Speaker 1: really get a point if you catch a screen pass
Speaker 1: and you lose yours, like, you know, a screen pass
Speaker 1: or neg of five yards? Did you gain a Fantasy
Speaker 1: point for that half a point? Yeah, at least have
Speaker 1: a point. It makes sense. Yeah, I like that. I
Speaker 1: feel like four PPR just gives too much value. So
Speaker 1: I would love to see half PPR become the industry
Speaker 1: standard and safe plus holes become the standard rather than Yeah.
Speaker 1: I think so too. I mean there's a lot of
Speaker 1: sense because you're quite frankly, you're rewarding the best relievers,
Speaker 1: like the guys are best at their jobs. We can
Speaker 1: get excited to draft amingez Ryan Pressley, who you mentioned
Speaker 1: like these guys are very valued of their teams, and
Speaker 1: just an arbitrary save category kind of like an arbitrary
Speaker 1: wind category. It doesn't does make sense anymore, right, So
Speaker 1: it's almost like true, almost like kickers in a way, yes,
Speaker 1: a weird way, in a weird way. Yes, you just
Speaker 1: want the guy that's gonna have the most throwing a dart,
Speaker 1: and you want the guys gonna throw a dart the
Speaker 1: most times. Well, I mean you've got more research to
Speaker 1: on closes. You got more that you could project polatively
Speaker 1: from year to year trying to the same reject saves
Speaker 1: because all right, last year, for example, Edwin Diaz had
Speaker 1: fifty seven. The chances of him having over fifty again
Speaker 1: are minimal, well on the mess minimal. And you know what,
Speaker 1: the chances of him even leading the league in saves
Speaker 1: are not great. Yes, I mean saves they can fluctuate
Speaker 1: from year to year. Yeah, it's very hard to the
Speaker 1: worst team in the league could have the most sat
Speaker 1: a saved. It's not you need them a certain amount
Speaker 1: of ron's a certain amount of innings pitch. It's not
Speaker 1: just you coming out there and pitching an inning. Yeah,
Speaker 1: there's a bridge to you and everything. Yeah, there's a lot. Listen,
Speaker 1: I agree, this is where it go. It's gonna be
Speaker 1: saves hold saves plus holds that you're not a big
Speaker 1: march madness guy. No, do you think it would be.
Speaker 1: I don't know. If you're in like the World Cup
Speaker 1: and you're kind of you're betting on stuff, is like
Speaker 1: the king of all that I watch you, You know,
Speaker 1: I just don't know enough. I feel like that's a
Speaker 1: lot of research that I would have to add to
Speaker 1: my repertoire can a lot because I don't like that
Speaker 1: you know half of something. I want to know all
Speaker 1: of it, you know what I mean. That's the best part.
Speaker 1: We all become experts in three days. That's the best
Speaker 1: part of that. It would take you forever. Bruins, have
Speaker 1: that work out for you. Terms and LSU tomorrow at
Speaker 1: twelve ten. It's gonna be awesome for Venture, for Steve,
Speaker 1: for Frank. I want to thank Nick Pollock from Pitchuls
Speaker 1: for joining us one. I thank Bivona, Shawn, Alex, Natalie,
Speaker 1: everybody downstairs having wonder a weekend. We'll see it back
Speaker 1: here on Monday. We hope
