1
00:00:06,040 --> 00:00:08,719
Speaker 1: Welcome in everybody to Fantasy Pros. This is the Fantasy

2
00:00:08,760 --> 00:00:11,840
Speaker 1: Baseball Podcast and it's made Joey p Joe pe Zapia,

3
00:00:11,920 --> 00:00:13,720
Speaker 1: and today we're gonna take a look at what you

4
00:00:13,800 --> 00:00:17,640
Speaker 1: really want to know, league winners and probably Welsh's hair.

5
00:00:17,720 --> 00:00:19,599
Speaker 1: If you're watching on YouTube, you'll look at the hair.

6
00:00:19,760 --> 00:00:21,960
Speaker 1: You look at the league winners. Nothing else matters at

7
00:00:21,960 --> 00:00:23,239
Speaker 1: the end of the day. So we're gonna be taking

8
00:00:23,280 --> 00:00:24,799
Speaker 1: a look here. Welsh has a list of ten. I

9
00:00:24,800 --> 00:00:26,120
Speaker 1: have a list of ten, and we're gonna go through

10
00:00:26,120 --> 00:00:28,120
Speaker 1: them here for you. Some of these players we've talked

11
00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:31,120
Speaker 1: about before, some really not so much. And we've got

12
00:00:31,120 --> 00:00:33,239
Speaker 1: a really interesting way of breaking this down. So all

13
00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:36,839
Speaker 1: of my players are going to be post one fifty

14
00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:39,640
Speaker 1: ADP and above. I'm talking about the guys that could

15
00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:41,240
Speaker 1: win you a league that you really don't see coming.

16
00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:44,280
Speaker 1: But Welsh is starting his somewhere around pick one hundred,

17
00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:46,680
Speaker 1: but he's going even deeper than mine mine stopping about

18
00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:49,720
Speaker 1: two seventy five. His are going well into the four hundreds.

19
00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:51,680
Speaker 1: So between the two of us, these are gonna be

20
00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:53,920
Speaker 1: twenty names that you should be targeting in your drafts.

21
00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:58,280
Speaker 1: Varying ADPs but really post one hundred, this is where

22
00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:00,320
Speaker 1: you could potentially win your league. In Welsh what we

23
00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:02,800
Speaker 1: always say, right, it's easy to draft, like the first

24
00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:05,080
Speaker 1: ten rounds, it's pretty simple. It's when we get to

25
00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:07,680
Speaker 1: the back end of the draft, the last six seven rounds,

26
00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:09,880
Speaker 1: where you could really make a difference if you're willing

27
00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:12,120
Speaker 1: to be patient, willing to put in the work, or

28
00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:14,480
Speaker 1: at the very least have us do the work for you. Yeah.

29
00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:18,880
Speaker 2: And also the idea behind league winners was very specific

30
00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:20,680
Speaker 2: to me and how I order these players because we've

31
00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:25,160
Speaker 2: done lots of varying degrees of these episodes of breakouts sleepers.

32
00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:28,720
Speaker 2: I would say league winners in my mind probably is

33
00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:31,800
Speaker 2: the close cousin to sleepers, but I have to be

34
00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:33,640
Speaker 2: very distinctive about it. I'll give you a prime example,

35
00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:36,039
Speaker 2: a player that I almost put on this when I

36
00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:38,440
Speaker 2: was doing it, was like Michael Waka. But Michael Waka

37
00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:40,600
Speaker 2: is not a league winner. I do think he can

38
00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:43,240
Speaker 2: be a sleeper based on his ADP. He's a player

39
00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:45,760
Speaker 2: that I'm drafted. There's another episode, you know, the players

40
00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:48,160
Speaker 2: that are on every player that's on our team. We're

41
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:51,280
Speaker 2: drafting a ton of shares up. That's different. Michael Waka

42
00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:54,000
Speaker 2: is not a league winner, so you're going for really

43
00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:57,520
Speaker 2: big upside. You're going for cost that can equate to

44
00:01:57,600 --> 00:02:01,720
Speaker 2: this player absolutely going nuts, but it also could blow

45
00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:03,840
Speaker 2: up in your face a little bit. The league winner

46
00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:06,360
Speaker 2: is a do or die situation. And I will tell

47
00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:08,360
Speaker 2: you you said I have varying degrees. I probably have

48
00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:12,720
Speaker 2: a three hundred eightyp difference between the number one guy,

49
00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:15,960
Speaker 2: which we sorted this by ADP and the furthest back player.

50
00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:17,960
Speaker 2: But a lot of these guys are younger players, and

51
00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:21,320
Speaker 2: it's probably no shock that league winning players are going

52
00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:23,640
Speaker 2: to be players that are just buried down there that,

53
00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:28,480
Speaker 2: given the opportunity, without a big track record, could absolutely explode.

54
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:31,080
Speaker 2: So lots of different names popped up on this list,

55
00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:33,239
Speaker 2: but I tried to be very specific because this guy

56
00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:35,480
Speaker 2: has to win me my league, So how do they

57
00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:39,760
Speaker 2: win the league? Right, it's no expectation to absolute blow up.

58
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:42,080
Speaker 1: And it's the absolute potential for blow up, which is

59
00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:43,560
Speaker 1: why they're on the list now. And that we're not

60
00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:45,600
Speaker 1: saying all these guys are going to blow up, because

61
00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:47,959
Speaker 1: we've been around way too long to know that that's

62
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:50,120
Speaker 1: not going to be the case. But it's about the

63
00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:52,359
Speaker 1: potential for that, which is really exciting. And again I

64
00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:54,680
Speaker 1: want to thank everybody's watched all of our coverage and

65
00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:56,360
Speaker 1: listen to all the shows and watch us over on

66
00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:58,400
Speaker 1: YouTube if you haven't already subscribed to fans of ros

67
00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:01,720

68
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:03,280
Speaker 1: joins us all the time. I want to tell a

69
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:05,359
Speaker 1: quick story here at the top. I want to shout

70
00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:08,680
Speaker 1: out a buddy of mine, Jim pal of mine, who

71
00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:11,160
Speaker 1: was also the bus driver for my youngest daughter for

72
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:13,079
Speaker 1: a few years, who is a huge fan of the

73
00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:15,440
Speaker 1: show and the day he put it together that I

74
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:17,320
Speaker 1: was the one waiting outside the bus stop with my

75
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:20,000
Speaker 1: daughter every morning, he shows me. He says, hey, is

76
00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:22,400
Speaker 1: this you shows me you and me on an episode

77
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:24,160
Speaker 1: of Leading Off. He says, I love this show. I

78
00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:26,440
Speaker 1: watched the show every day. I ran to him in

79
00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:28,800
Speaker 1: the gym today. Guess what. He was literally watching the

80
00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:32,000
Speaker 1: draft between you, Me, Bogman and Kelly Kirby from the

81
00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:34,680

00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:36,120
Speaker 1: lot of folks out there, and he said something to me.

83
00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:37,880
Speaker 1: He says, like, you guys are the most fun there

84
00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:39,760
Speaker 1: is in fantasy baseball, and we try to do that.

Speaker 1: We try to be fun but also informative. But we're

86
00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:44,280
Speaker 1: trying to give you a little bit of fun because

87
00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:47,000
Speaker 1: the fun is important. It's fantasy baseball. It's supposed to

88
00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:48,720
Speaker 1: be a good time. So that's what Welsh and I

00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:58,400
Speaker 1: Off Live starts Thursday the twenty eighth. We're gonna be

00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:07,040
Speaker 1: you keep saying, and you were really excited about the muskle.

96
00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:09,160
Speaker 2: I like the look of the mustache. I actually gotta

97
00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:11,720
Speaker 2: be honest with you. I kind of like my mustache mustache, Like,

98
00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:15,360
Speaker 2: lie here, this is causing strife in my house and

99
00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:16,160
Speaker 2: this is being.

100
00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:18,479
Speaker 1: Saved looking sexy with the beard. Baby.

101
00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:20,240
Speaker 2: Ask my wife the same thing. I was like, isn't

102
00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:22,479
Speaker 2: this a good look? She's like no, I don't know.

103
00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:24,400
Speaker 1: I think she's wrong, But then again, I do have

104
00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:26,280
Speaker 1: to see your face in person. All right, let's get

105
00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:29,560
Speaker 1: to the top ten league winners and Welsh. Let's start

106
00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:31,800
Speaker 1: with ten through eight. The guys that made your list,

107
00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:33,760
Speaker 1: the ADP and why they're on this list for you.

108
00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:36,080
Speaker 2: All right, So here are the three players at ten. Again,

109
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:38,719
Speaker 2: this is a descending ADP. This is the only player

110
00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:42,000
Speaker 2: outside the four hundreds. I've got Matt Manning. Now, Matt

111
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:45,960
Speaker 2: Manning has increased his fastball velocity. He's finally healthy. That's

112
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:48,480
Speaker 2: kind of the big key has had a phenomenal spring.

113
00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:51,360
Speaker 2: That's really the other thing. He's had a really great spring.

114
00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:55,160
Speaker 2: His fastball usually sitting around ninety three, it's been up

115
00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:57,520
Speaker 2: to ninety four. I think I've even seen the reports.

116
00:04:57,520 --> 00:04:59,960
Speaker 2: Maybe there's a splitter that's going on there. But we're

117
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:02,560
Speaker 2: we're hoping that we are going to get the return

118
00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:05,320
Speaker 2: the thirty five percent fifth percentage slider player in twenty

119
00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:07,960
Speaker 2: twenty two. Everything decreased last year, but the fastball is

120
00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:11,520
Speaker 2: more effective. He looks more effective, and he is free.

121
00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:14,120
Speaker 2: I think it's him or Casey Myz that are going

122
00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:15,680
Speaker 2: to be the player that's going to break back out.

123
00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:17,360
Speaker 2: And I'm getting Casey mis had a little bit of

124
00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:19,760
Speaker 2: a rough spring. Ton of walks. That's not been Matt

125
00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:22,080
Speaker 2: Manning over eleven k per nine. He came in at

126
00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:24,360
Speaker 2: number ten, number eight. As a player I have talked

127
00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:27,680
Speaker 2: about a decent amount. It's Michael Busch with the Chicago Cubs,

128
00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:30,680
Speaker 2: and Michael Busch has had a decent spring. The average

129
00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:32,400
Speaker 2: has not been there, the strikeouts have been a little

130
00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:34,760
Speaker 2: bit up, but he's got two homers and two stolen bases.

131
00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:36,679
Speaker 2: And here's been the big key that I've been talking about.

132
00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:39,359
Speaker 2: Would he be able to keep his spot? Pete ko

133
00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:43,120
Speaker 2: Armstrong was sent down to me. That is Cody Bellinger

134
00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:45,719
Speaker 2: in centerfield. It's not gonna be Mike Talkman. They also

135
00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:48,120
Speaker 2: don't have a bunch of lefties with Michael Busch. They

136
00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:50,839
Speaker 2: have four lefties on the active hitting roster, so Michael

137
00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:53,599
Speaker 2: Bush is even more valuable there between DH and first.

138
00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:55,920
Speaker 2: He's going to continue to keep going. The homers are

139
00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:57,640
Speaker 2: going to be there. I think you can get twenty

140
00:05:57,640 --> 00:06:01,520
Speaker 2: five homers and is ADP eighty right now according to

141
00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:03,960
Speaker 2: Fantasy Pros. And I will tell you this, we are

142
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:07,479
Speaker 2: doing descending order, but this player actually might be one

143
00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:10,520
Speaker 2: of the top league winners in all of baseball. If

144
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:14,679
Speaker 2: the best case scenario works out. Victor Scott the second

145
00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:17,520
Speaker 2: with the Saint Louis Cardinals. Victor Scott having a great

146
00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:20,960
Speaker 2: spring as we're recording this, still vying for an opportunity

147
00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:24,080
Speaker 2: to break with the camp three point sixty seven in

148
00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:27,120
Speaker 2: spring an only twelve percent k rate. He's already stolen

149
00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:32,880
Speaker 2: four bases. Victor Scott could even lead baseball in stolen

150
00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:35,640
Speaker 2: bases if he starts from day one with that batting average.

151
00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:37,080
Speaker 2: So that's why I say you want to talk about

152
00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:40,120
Speaker 2: league winners. Victor Scott, if from at least day one

153
00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:42,480
Speaker 2: and hits around two fifty two to sixty, is going

154
00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:45,240
Speaker 2: to steal probably no less than fifty stolen bases. There's

155
00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:48,160
Speaker 2: even some home run potential in there. Victor Scott one

156
00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:51,520
Speaker 2: of the best league winning potential players you could draft.

157
00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:53,920
Speaker 2: And his ADP I actually screwed it up. He is

158
00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:57,440
Speaker 2: the second highest ADP three eighty seven of all players.

159
00:06:57,480 --> 00:06:59,400
Speaker 2: Get him. On the back end, we talk about the

160
00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:02,159
Speaker 2: bench player. What's the perfect bench player to take it's

161
00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:05,760
Speaker 2: Victor Scott especially. We all need some for stolen bases.

162
00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:08,479
Speaker 1: And Steve Gardner on the Fantasy Fest. You can go

163
00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:12,080
Speaker 1: back and listen or watch. We have all the segments

164
00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:15,520
Speaker 1: segmented out see what I did. They're over on YouTube,

165
00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:18,880
Speaker 1: from Steve Gardner to Pinowski to Ino Saras, and Steve

166
00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:21,280
Speaker 1: was talking about Victor Scott too for the same thing too, Hey,

167
00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:22,760
Speaker 1: look for cheap steals the end of the draft. You

168
00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:24,520
Speaker 1: don't want to go with a Sturry Ruiz or somebody

169
00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:27,680
Speaker 1: like that and waste draft capital. There's Victor Scott ten

170
00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:30,080
Speaker 1: through eight. For me, I'm gonna start with number two,

171
00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:32,520
Speaker 1: seventy four on the big board right now. He just

172
00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:35,160
Speaker 1: got sent down, but I don't care. It's Paul Skeens,

173
00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:36,680
Speaker 1: and I love the fact he just got sent down.

174
00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:38,200
Speaker 1: I didn't think it was gonna make the team. But

175
00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:41,760
Speaker 1: there's always that collective. Oh no, Paul Skeen's got sent down.

176
00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:45,560
Speaker 1: The season is six months long, Folks went back to

177
00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:48,400
Speaker 1: twenty ten because I think the only thing that we

178
00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:50,480
Speaker 1: have in recent memory that reminds me of this Paul

179
00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:53,880
Speaker 1: Skean situation is Steven Strasbourg. Now, I hope that Skeens

180
00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:57,320
Speaker 1: has a better path in his future than Steven Strasburg

181
00:07:57,360 --> 00:08:00,160
Speaker 1: gat However, well hope he makes as much money. I

182
00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:02,960
Speaker 1: that you go. But at the same point, he made

183
00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:06,840
Speaker 1: his debut in June that year, right, he threw sixty

184
00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:09,920
Speaker 1: eight innings a two ninety one era. He struck out

185
00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:12,920
Speaker 1: ninety two guys and walked seventeen. Now, if you're talking

186
00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:15,560
Speaker 1: about Layton drafts, in those you know, fifteen, sixteen, seventeen

187
00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:18,680
Speaker 1: rounds where people drafting Scherzer, people drafting Kershaw. Now just

188
00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:20,800
Speaker 1: think about this. If Paul Skeenes comes up at the

189
00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:23,160
Speaker 1: end of June and gives you these kind of numbers

190
00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:25,200
Speaker 1: down the stretch here and then eventually gets shut down

191
00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:27,160
Speaker 1: in September, So it might hurt you when you get

192
00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:31,400
Speaker 1: to playoff situations. But Welsh, those are some incredible stats

193
00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:34,680
Speaker 1: to give you in a sixty seventy inning span, which

194
00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:37,440
Speaker 1: I think he can give you elite level numbers there,

195
00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:40,439
Speaker 1: and much cheaper ADP than the other guys that I mentioned,

196
00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:42,320
Speaker 1: those veterans that are already hurt. So Skeens is a

197
00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:43,760
Speaker 1: guy I just took him in our last draft we

198
00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:45,679
Speaker 1: did live with Michael Goovier. You can watch out on

199
00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:48,079
Speaker 1: the channel as well. Mason Miller at two fifty nine

200
00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:50,440
Speaker 1: is number nine for me. I don't see why he

201
00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:53,080
Speaker 1: would not be the closer. It is the best way

202
00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:55,160
Speaker 1: I've said this before, I'm going to say one last

203
00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:57,400
Speaker 1: time for everybody to hear. This is what you want

204
00:08:57,400 --> 00:08:59,520
Speaker 1: to do with Mason Miller. Give him a clean ninth

205
00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:03,680
Speaker 1: inning budget his innings. Give him non stress. One, two, three,

206
00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:05,880
Speaker 1: You sit back down. You're not getting up and down

207
00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:07,920
Speaker 1: the bullpen a million times. You're not having this guy

208
00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:10,720
Speaker 1: warm up. That's a recipe for disaster with Mason Miller.

209
00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:13,400
Speaker 1: You figure the a's, you keep it simple, stupid, and

210
00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:15,320
Speaker 1: all you do is you make him the closer. You

211
00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:17,080
Speaker 1: let him pitch no more than two days in a row.

212
00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:18,679
Speaker 1: If it has to be a save for three days

213
00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:20,360
Speaker 1: in a row and the Oakland Days are winning three games,

214
00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:22,439
Speaker 1: you should dance a jig and be very happy Oakland.

215
00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:24,840
Speaker 1: But somebody else can shut it down that day. Mason

216
00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:26,559
Speaker 1: Miller is a guy you can get some saves and

217
00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:29,719
Speaker 1: strikeouts later. And the only way to really make sure

218
00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:31,640
Speaker 1: you put him in plastic is to make him the closer.

219
00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:34,439
Speaker 1: Number two eighteen, Number eight for me, another guy just

220
00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:37,800
Speaker 1: drafted in the last draft. We just wrapped up Logan Ohapi,

221
00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:40,959
Speaker 1: the catcher of the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim. Love

222
00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:43,640
Speaker 1: this guy. Last year. I know Frank Stamfle one of

223
00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:46,079
Speaker 1: our guys again on fest talked about this guy. We

224
00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:48,800
Speaker 1: talked about him last year, A love o Hoppy. I

225
00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:51,200
Speaker 1: think he's got power. I think he's got the ability

226
00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:53,040
Speaker 1: to hit somewhere in that two to fifty range. And

227
00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:55,280
Speaker 1: for me, this is a player that I'm very excited

228
00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:57,320
Speaker 1: to draft everywhere, and I think you should be too.

229
00:09:57,360 --> 00:09:59,199
Speaker 1: I think this is an opportunity here with Ohapi to

230
00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:01,800
Speaker 1: make up some ground here in two catcher leagues. I

231
00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:04,560
Speaker 1: think's extremely valuable. And he's going right now on that

232
00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:07,480
Speaker 1: fringe of catcher one, if you will, in those two

233
00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:10,040
Speaker 1: catcher leagues, which I think is just absurd. So ten

234
00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:13,800
Speaker 1: schemes nine Mason Miller and at two eighteen Logan Ohoppy.

235
00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:15,400
Speaker 1: Let's take a quick break in the action and tell

00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:18,600
Speaker 1: now back to the action Welsh seven through five for

254
00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:20,280
Speaker 1: you on the league winners, who do you have?

255
00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:22,880
Speaker 2: I will tell you one thing. Had I gotten to

256
00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:25,840
Speaker 2: this sheet first, you have about half of the players

257
00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:26,720
Speaker 2: I would have put on.

258
00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:31,440
Speaker 1: That's good because agreeing on these guys, because we sometimes

259
00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:33,400
Speaker 1: disagree on players, the fact that we agree on as

260
00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:35,640
Speaker 1: many as we do on this list, I think that's

261
00:11:35,679 --> 00:11:38,040
Speaker 1: worthy of note for the people watching and listening today.

262
00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:40,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, and Mason Miller was the one of that group

263
00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:42,880
Speaker 2: that you just said that instantly was like, Oh, I

264
00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:45,040
Speaker 2: got to put him on there because of where his

265
00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:48,440
Speaker 2: draft value is. Also a sneaky starting pitcher that could

266
00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:50,120
Speaker 2: have closers. So I like that, all right. So going

267
00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:54,200
Speaker 2: to mind seven, six, and five, these are all young

268
00:11:54,240 --> 00:12:00,440
Speaker 2: guys and they're upside to varying degrees, Sinai, Rafaela is

269
00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:03,120
Speaker 2: number seven on the list at three point thirty two,

270
00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:05,720
Speaker 2: and I say, like the varying degrees of upside people

271
00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:09,040
Speaker 2: are getting at, they're so cheap that the impact that

272
00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:11,360
Speaker 2: I believe they're gonna get to, whether you agree or not,

273
00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:14,400
Speaker 2: is why these guys can be league winners. In Rafaela

274
00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:17,319
Speaker 2: really could be a uniquely special guy. He's a guy

275
00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:19,319
Speaker 2: that could go twenty twenty. He's had a solid spring

276
00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:22,520
Speaker 2: three homers, two stolen bases, hitting two seventy nine. Strike

277
00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:24,880
Speaker 2: up rate hasn't been a problem. He's actually walked more,

278
00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:27,720
Speaker 2: which isn't crazy. But if he plays in the middle infield,

279
00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:29,959
Speaker 2: there's some talk about him maybe playing some second, some

280
00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:31,720
Speaker 2: short while also playing outfield.

281
00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:32,200
Speaker 1: Eight.

282
00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:36,160
Speaker 2: The batex projections have event nine homers with fourteen stolen

283
00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:39,440
Speaker 2: bases in a two fifty six average in ninety nine games.

284
00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:41,360
Speaker 2: You span that out you could be looking at a

285
00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:43,680
Speaker 2: fifteen twenty five guy, and if you wanted to play

286
00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:47,120
Speaker 2: the Steamer numbers, by the way, fourteen homers, seventeen stolen

287
00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:49,679
Speaker 2: bases in one hundred and twenty games. You're closing in

288
00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:52,439
Speaker 2: on a twenty twenty bat that could have in and

289
00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:55,840
Speaker 2: outfield eligibility, Saidani Rafaela at three thirty two. I love

290
00:12:56,240 --> 00:12:58,679
Speaker 2: coming in at number six with an ADP of two

291
00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:02,559
Speaker 2: ninety nine. Is the San Diego Padres new center fielder

292
00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:03,760
Speaker 2: has to say short stop because.

293
00:13:03,559 --> 00:13:07,640
Speaker 1: He does qualify in some leagues. There, so's Jackson Merril.

294
00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:10,600
Speaker 2: I love Jackson Merrill. We talked about him on the

295
00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:12,520
Speaker 2: fan Fest with Steve Gardner. I think he is a

296
00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:15,680
Speaker 2: sneaky rookie of the year bet Now, his counting stats

297
00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:19,400
Speaker 2: don't pop necessarily even projections. The bat X is eight

298
00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:22,280
Speaker 2: and eight in ninety six games, so you're probably closing

299
00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:25,920
Speaker 2: in on fifteen to fifteen. But at almost free with

300
00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:28,559
Speaker 2: a high batting average, they've got him at two fifty seven.

301
00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:31,440
Speaker 2: He legit might hit twot eighty for this team, score

302
00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:33,920
Speaker 2: decent amount of runs. The power is starting to go,

303
00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:36,000
Speaker 2: and I think he could steal a little bit more

304
00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:38,600
Speaker 2: than he had in the minor leagues in twenty twenty three,

305
00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:42,160
Speaker 2: he did steal fifteen bases in around one hundred and

306
00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:44,880
Speaker 2: ten games. On a full season, he can steal twenty.

307
00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:46,680
Speaker 2: He can hit between ten and fifteen. I think he

308
00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:48,360
Speaker 2: can score a bunch of runs, and he's got middle

309
00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:51,760
Speaker 2: infield eligibility. Jackson Merrill could be one of those league

310
00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:55,000
Speaker 2: winning guys because of his flexibility in the numbers. And

311
00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:59,280
Speaker 2: then coming in at number five is Colt Keith with

312
00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:02,240
Speaker 2: the Detroit Tighs, who looks like he is locked into

313
00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:04,600
Speaker 2: that middle endfield spot so much so that roster resource

314
00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:06,720
Speaker 2: has moved him closer to the middle of the lineup

315
00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:09,480
Speaker 2: where he can qualify at second and third base. He

316
00:14:09,559 --> 00:14:11,880
Speaker 2: hit two eighty seven in triple A last year with

317
00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:16,040
Speaker 2: thirteen homers in sixty seven games. Projections are pretty friendly.

318
00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:19,320
Speaker 2: You've got steamer with fourteen homers with a two to

319
00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:21,560
Speaker 2: sixty one batting average a one hundred and seventeen. His

320
00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:24,280
Speaker 2: power is being under sold right now, as long as

321
00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:26,280
Speaker 2: the strikeouts don't become an issue, which by the way,

322
00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:29,200
Speaker 2: he's only got a eighteen percent strikeout rate in spring training.

323
00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:31,640
Speaker 2: He can hit twenty five plus. He is a guy

324
00:14:31,640 --> 00:14:33,680
Speaker 2: that can push top one hundred value. All three of

325
00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:36,760
Speaker 2: these players with the stolen base and power potential, they

326
00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:40,600
Speaker 2: can be top one hundred fantasy bets that are almost free,

327
00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:43,520
Speaker 2: especially in like twelve man leagues. So I think Colt

328
00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:46,120
Speaker 2: Keith has a chance, especially from the power department, to

329
00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:47,040
Speaker 2: be a league winner.

330
00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:50,040
Speaker 1: I think there's a lot of value late in the

331
00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:53,000
Speaker 1: middle infield especially, I mean anywhere from Zach Gehloff all

332
00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:56,720
Speaker 1: the way down to what was it three eighty right,

333
00:14:57,160 --> 00:15:00,280
Speaker 1: we're three thirty two for Rafaela, right. I mean there's

334
00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:02,160
Speaker 1: there's a lot of value here late. So if you

335
00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:04,320
Speaker 1: have to make up ground, you know, I mean, Volpi's

336
00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:06,480
Speaker 1: been a guy that we've talked about before, you know,

337
00:15:06,560 --> 00:15:08,160
Speaker 1: some of the guys that I'm gonna talk about next. Like,

338
00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:10,040
Speaker 1: there's a lot of these guys that were floating out

339
00:15:10,040 --> 00:15:11,880
Speaker 1: there that have a lot of upsides. So if you're

340
00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:15,160
Speaker 1: playing in those middle infield leagues, don't freak out if

341
00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:17,360
Speaker 1: the board doesn't go your way. Early on, I.

342
00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:20,200
Speaker 2: Almost put Volpy on this and I didn't even I

343
00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:22,960
Speaker 2: didn't even actually get my connection until you just said

344
00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:24,680
Speaker 2: that that all three of those players that I just

345
00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:28,720
Speaker 2: gave you are middle infield options. Because Rafaela looks like

346
00:15:28,760 --> 00:15:32,000
Speaker 2: he's gonna get that qualification. You've already got Jackson Merrill

347
00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:33,960
Speaker 2: who's got it, and Colt Keith has got it, and

348
00:15:33,960 --> 00:15:37,160
Speaker 2: you're gonna get extra qualifications with all those players. That

349
00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:40,160
Speaker 2: is what is unique about those three players. But there's

350
00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:42,680
Speaker 2: handfuls of middle infielders that you like to make bets on.

351
00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:47,000
Speaker 2: These are the guys though, with sky high upside and

352
00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:49,040
Speaker 2: I didn't even get that middle infield catch. All right,

353
00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:50,440
Speaker 2: what do you got in your group?

354
00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:52,640
Speaker 1: Well, I'm sticking with the theme here starting at number

355
00:15:52,640 --> 00:15:55,120
Speaker 1: seven for me, Junior kemen Aro. I've talked about them

356
00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:57,000
Speaker 1: all the time. I'm gonna keep talking about them. Qualifies

357
00:15:57,040 --> 00:15:58,800
Speaker 1: at third and shortstop. I don't think it's gonna be

358
00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:00,600
Speaker 1: very long. I think this guy's ready go. And even

359
00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:03,120
Speaker 1: if it's not till let's say Memorial Day, that still

360
00:16:03,160 --> 00:16:05,920
Speaker 1: gives you two thirds of the season of Camonaro. And

361
00:16:05,960 --> 00:16:08,560
Speaker 1: if he is as advertised, which I believe he is,

362
00:16:09,080 --> 00:16:11,440
Speaker 1: he could make a huge impact. I like the bat.

363
00:16:11,560 --> 00:16:13,040
Speaker 1: I think the bat is a little bit more ready

364
00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:15,120
Speaker 1: than Jackson Cherio, who's gonna start from day one. That's

365
00:16:15,160 --> 00:16:18,360
Speaker 1: my opinion. Some people don't share that opinion, but I

366
00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:21,000
Speaker 1: do from all the film I've been able to watch

367
00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:23,560
Speaker 1: on camon Aro. He's somebody that I kept in my

368
00:16:23,640 --> 00:16:26,080
Speaker 1: home league for a couple bucks. I can only keep

369
00:16:26,120 --> 00:16:28,120
Speaker 1: eight guys, and I kept him because he was a buck.

370
00:16:28,160 --> 00:16:30,080
Speaker 1: And you know what, I'm keeping that guy because the

371
00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:32,520
Speaker 1: upside is just far too much. So even though I

372
00:16:32,520 --> 00:16:35,880
Speaker 1: have to be patient, I'm gonna practice what I'm preaching

373
00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:38,320
Speaker 1: here when it comes to Camonaro. So I'm telling everybody again,

374
00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:40,240
Speaker 1: I just drafted him in the last draft we just

375
00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:43,240
Speaker 1: did on Fantasy Bros. I drafted Jackson Merril too much

376
00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:46,600
Speaker 1: to Welsh's chagrin. I drafted Skeins, I drafted a hoppy.

377
00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:49,200
Speaker 1: I'm showing you these are the guys that I'm targeting

378
00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:50,720
Speaker 1: late that I think could make a huge impact. And

379
00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:53,560
Speaker 1: if Cameron Aro ends up hitting somewhere around like six

380
00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:55,360
Speaker 1: in that order, which I think is very possible, that

381
00:16:55,400 --> 00:16:57,120
Speaker 1: could be a great spot for him, and he could

382
00:16:57,120 --> 00:17:00,920
Speaker 1: be exactly what they're missing trying to solve the problem

383
00:17:00,920 --> 00:17:02,760
Speaker 1: with Wander Franco not being there anymore, and that's a

384
00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:04,960
Speaker 1: big problem for this offense, and Campanio is the solution

385
00:17:05,040 --> 00:17:08,320
Speaker 1: at number six, Ezekiel Tovar at two to oh one.

386
00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:11,040
Speaker 1: Tovar is a player Welsh and I have talked about,

387
00:17:11,080 --> 00:17:13,000
Speaker 1: and I know Welsh is excited just the way I am.

388
00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:15,280
Speaker 1: He's having a really good spring. Just to recap those

389
00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:19,600
Speaker 1: numbers in the spring, he is slashing currently pretty well there,

390
00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:21,640
Speaker 1: he's actually up to right now. I'm going to bring

391
00:17:21,680 --> 00:17:23,399
Speaker 1: up those numbers in a second here, but in spring

392
00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:26,600
Speaker 1: training he is a two ninety four, three twenty four,

393
00:17:26,760 --> 00:17:30,040
Speaker 1: five eighty eight slugging. Again, spring doesn't mean everything, but

394
00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:33,119
Speaker 1: Tovar looks a little stronger in the lower half. You

395
00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:34,879
Speaker 1: could see he's put some work in there. He is

396
00:17:34,920 --> 00:17:36,919
Speaker 1: a very young player still. I mean keep that in

397
00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:39,439
Speaker 1: mind too. These guys are only twenty one twenty two

398
00:17:39,520 --> 00:17:42,840
Speaker 1: years old. So Tovar is a player. Great environment, the

399
00:17:42,880 --> 00:17:45,440
Speaker 1: OBP probably gonna lag behind a little bit, but I

400
00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:47,280
Speaker 1: think there's a lot of room to improve in banning average.

401
00:17:47,320 --> 00:17:48,600
Speaker 1: I think there's a lot of room for him to

402
00:17:48,680 --> 00:17:51,439
Speaker 1: improve as well in the power departments. At two oh one,

403
00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:54,800
Speaker 1: I think Tovar is now more ready for year two,

404
00:17:55,119 --> 00:17:58,040
Speaker 1: whereas some guys tend to have that sophomore slump. I

405
00:17:58,080 --> 00:18:01,000
Speaker 1: think Tovar came in uged a little bit as a rookie,

406
00:18:01,040 --> 00:18:02,399
Speaker 1: and I think the second year for him is going

407
00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:04,639
Speaker 1: to be much improved. At two hundred and one, he

408
00:18:04,760 --> 00:18:07,159
Speaker 1: is a complete value. And then at one ninety four

409
00:18:07,160 --> 00:18:11,719
Speaker 1: at number five, showed up Imanaga, pitcher for the Chicago Cubs.

410
00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:13,719
Speaker 1: At one ninety four, Welsh, this is a guy that

411
00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:16,720
Speaker 1: if he is right at that two spot for the

412
00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:19,360
Speaker 1: Cubs behind Justin Steele, I think the Cubs can win

413
00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:22,160
Speaker 1: this division. I really do. I think they are right there.

414
00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:24,679
Speaker 1: They're ready to compete. Bellinger coming back is huge. But

415
00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:27,720
Speaker 1: while everybody's chasing Yamamoto up top, I'm looking at this

416
00:18:27,760 --> 00:18:30,200
Speaker 1: guy going around two hundred, I'm saying, give me Imanaga.

417
00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:32,520
Speaker 1: He's just a better return on my draft capital. I'm

418
00:18:32,560 --> 00:18:35,439
Speaker 1: not saying he's the same pitcher as Yamamoto. He's not necessarily,

419
00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:38,199
Speaker 1: but he handled major league hitters in the WBC a

420
00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:41,040
Speaker 1: couple of years ago. His stats are impeccable. He's thirty

421
00:18:41,119 --> 00:18:43,800
Speaker 1: years old. I think he is ready for the major leagues,

422
00:18:44,040 --> 00:18:46,600
Speaker 1: and I think, especially in the first half of the year,

423
00:18:47,160 --> 00:18:49,399
Speaker 1: I think hitters are going to struggle to pick him

424
00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:51,720
Speaker 1: up and figure out exactly what's going on there. Now,

425
00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:53,760
Speaker 1: we'll see what the second half brings. But if he

426
00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:56,000
Speaker 1: can give you great stats in the first half and

427
00:18:56,080 --> 00:18:58,240
Speaker 1: then just kind of continue to build on that in

428
00:18:58,280 --> 00:19:01,480
Speaker 1: the second, that is league win potential with the starting pitcher.

429
00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:03,720
Speaker 1: Now you likeke Minauga as well? Is that a guy

430
00:19:03,800 --> 00:19:05,520
Speaker 1: you've been targeting and gotten any shares of.

431
00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:08,520
Speaker 2: One hundred thousand percent? I will tell you those three

432
00:19:08,560 --> 00:19:11,440
Speaker 2: guys you just listed off to me are a murderer's

433
00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:14,719
Speaker 2: row of players that can win your leagues. I've been

434
00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:17,480
Speaker 2: a little bit less dern, but I have of Ezekiel

435
00:19:17,480 --> 00:19:20,520
Speaker 2: tow Far. I'm sorry I have moved in a more

436
00:19:20,520 --> 00:19:23,240
Speaker 2: positive direction. But Junia Camenero is at the tippy top

437
00:19:23,240 --> 00:19:27,240
Speaker 2: of the list, and Chota Imanaga absolutely is that player.

438
00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:29,680
Speaker 2: I mean the WBC stuff plus fastball was at the

439
00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:33,200
Speaker 2: tippy top. His command has been on point this year.

440
00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:35,640
Speaker 2: His release point is going to screw up a whole

441
00:19:35,640 --> 00:19:38,440
Speaker 2: lot of hitters, as it has done in spring. This

442
00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:41,440
Speaker 2: is a guy that has probably been criminally underrated. And

443
00:19:41,480 --> 00:19:43,880
Speaker 2: it's funny I've had like him and Brandon Fought moving

444
00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:46,080
Speaker 2: up and up, and just recently on my ranks, I

445
00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:50,000
Speaker 2: moved Imanaga quite a bit up. He is a absolute

446
00:19:50,119 --> 00:19:52,119
Speaker 2: target you've got to have simply for the upside. And

447
00:19:52,359 --> 00:19:54,080
Speaker 2: this isn't me, but I know a lot of people

448
00:19:54,119 --> 00:19:56,320
Speaker 2: like to do this. If what you're saying is is

449
00:19:56,480 --> 00:19:58,320
Speaker 2: you'll see a lot of these guys that come over

450
00:19:58,800 --> 00:20:01,240
Speaker 2: that will dominate for a month or two, and then

451
00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:02,919
Speaker 2: when the league starts to catch up a little bit

452
00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:05,159
Speaker 2: and teams have better game plans, maybe they can you know,

453
00:20:05,359 --> 00:20:06,159
Speaker 2: get on with it.

454
00:20:06,280 --> 00:20:08,200
Speaker 1: Singa Like Singa came over and it was kind of

455
00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:09,639
Speaker 1: the opposite. He kind of struggled a little bit with

456
00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:12,000
Speaker 1: the controller early on, and then something really clicked. I

457
00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:13,520
Speaker 1: don't know it was a confidence, I don't know what

458
00:20:13,560 --> 00:20:15,600
Speaker 1: it was, but man, towards a lot of part of

459
00:20:15,640 --> 00:20:17,080
Speaker 1: the year, he really settled.

460
00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:18,399
Speaker 2: In well the command, the command stuck in, and the

461
00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:19,320
Speaker 2: k's came down.

462
00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:21,360
Speaker 1: I think Single was a player on this list last

463
00:20:21,400 --> 00:20:24,159
Speaker 1: year for us, if memory serves, and it's that same logic. Now,

464
00:20:24,200 --> 00:20:26,600
Speaker 1: I'm not saying he's got the same strikeout upside of

465
00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:30,640
Speaker 1: you know, Senga, but think about how many leagues code

466
00:20:30,680 --> 00:20:32,480
Speaker 1: I Single won people last year of being a guy

467
00:20:32,480 --> 00:20:34,400
Speaker 1: that you drafted a fourth or a fifth starter who

468
00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:36,560
Speaker 1: performed like a one for most of the season in

469
00:20:36,640 --> 00:20:37,840
Speaker 1: terms of strikeouts especially.

470
00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:39,600
Speaker 2: And the thing I was gonna say is the thing

471
00:20:39,680 --> 00:20:42,400
Speaker 2: I don't do that I think some people could look

472
00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:45,320
Speaker 2: with him and IgA is if he dominates in that

473
00:20:45,359 --> 00:20:48,240
Speaker 2: first month, you could move him until the league starts

474
00:20:48,280 --> 00:20:48,720
Speaker 2: to catch up.

475
00:20:48,760 --> 00:20:50,520
Speaker 1: I mean that can win you're your league two because

476
00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:53,920
Speaker 1: when somebody overpays, that's an opportunity for you to take

477
00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:56,600
Speaker 1: more talent, more players and win your league. So there's

478
00:20:56,680 --> 00:20:58,720
Speaker 1: more reasons why guys are on this list. And that's

479
00:20:58,760 --> 00:21:00,840
Speaker 1: a great point that you just made. If this guy

480
00:21:00,920 --> 00:21:04,359
Speaker 1: is above your expectations and you're worried about regression, guess

481
00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:06,960
Speaker 1: what turn him into something else or more than he's worth.

482
00:21:07,040 --> 00:21:08,760
Speaker 1: And next thing you know, you might be in a

483
00:21:08,800 --> 00:21:12,440
Speaker 1: really good spot there potentially spring training for him. So far,

484
00:21:12,760 --> 00:21:15,760
Speaker 1: again a bit of a mixed bag. But the strikeout

485
00:21:15,760 --> 00:21:18,800
Speaker 1: potential welsh for Imanaga. By the way, should we talk

486
00:21:18,840 --> 00:21:22,760
Speaker 1: about that. Nineteen strikeouts to two walks so far. I mean,

487
00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:25,400
Speaker 1: that's pretty good last time I checked in. Oh wait,

488
00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:28,600
Speaker 1: how many innings up? Nine nine innings. It's a lot

489
00:21:28,600 --> 00:21:30,120
Speaker 1: of us we get missed there for me and Naga.

490
00:21:30,119 --> 00:21:32,320
Speaker 1: All right, let's get to three more guys on Welsh's

491
00:21:32,320 --> 00:21:34,760
Speaker 1: list here, let's get to four to three and two

492
00:21:34,880 --> 00:21:37,000
Speaker 1: and then we'll announce our number ones after this. So

493
00:21:37,119 --> 00:21:40,240
Speaker 1: who's number four. It's a favorite of Welsh's, a favorite

494
00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:42,080
Speaker 1: of mine. A guy at one p seventy six.

495
00:21:42,160 --> 00:21:45,600
Speaker 2: His name is Jared Duran. As a matter of fact,

496
00:21:45,680 --> 00:21:48,280
Speaker 2: you cannot be four to three or two on my

497
00:21:48,320 --> 00:21:50,800
Speaker 2: list unless your first name starts with Jay. So this

498
00:21:50,840 --> 00:21:53,800
Speaker 2: is triple J. Not any Jeff Jarrett stuff in here.

499
00:21:53,840 --> 00:21:57,400
Speaker 2: It's Jared Duran coming in at four, who I love,

500
00:21:57,440 --> 00:21:59,919
Speaker 2: and he is one of the big massive targets for me.

501
00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:02,640
Speaker 2: Twenty four stolen bases, eight homers, and one hundred games

502
00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:06,400
Speaker 2: last year, hitting two ninety five in spring, he's hitting

503
00:22:06,440 --> 00:22:09,720
Speaker 2: three twenty. His strikeouts are under twenty percent in spring.

504
00:22:09,800 --> 00:22:11,159
Speaker 2: You don't take that for whatever it is, but you

505
00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:14,240
Speaker 2: love to I love to see strikeout numbers, specifically, more

506
00:22:14,280 --> 00:22:16,240
Speaker 2: than I care about like counting stats, like I love

507
00:22:16,280 --> 00:22:18,520
Speaker 2: Boneo Cruz, but everyone's like seven homers in spring. I

508
00:22:18,520 --> 00:22:20,720
Speaker 2: don't really care about that. I care about some of

509
00:22:20,760 --> 00:22:24,120
Speaker 2: the intangibles. Strikeouts are those big hard hit number. Last year,

510
00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:26,480
Speaker 2: I'm hoping the barrel percentage is going to increase like

511
00:22:26,520 --> 00:22:29,359
Speaker 2: his launch angle did. But this is a guy in

512
00:22:29,400 --> 00:22:32,439
Speaker 2: a friendly ballpark who can be a fifteen to thirty

513
00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:36,760
Speaker 2: twenty thirty five type of player with his EIGHTYP at

514
00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:40,080
Speaker 2: one seventy six outside the top one fifty. If Duran

515
00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:42,600
Speaker 2: becomes let's just say, on the high end, a twenty

516
00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:45,480
Speaker 2: thirty player, he's gonna be like a top fifty player.

517
00:22:45,600 --> 00:22:49,440
Speaker 2: And that is three hundred x you know on your value.

518
00:22:49,480 --> 00:22:52,119
Speaker 2: That's huge on Jared Durant. So I think Jared Durant

519
00:22:52,119 --> 00:22:53,600
Speaker 2: is one of the players you've got to target. He

520
00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:56,439
Speaker 2: could be a league winner. He's cheap stolen bases, getting

521
00:22:56,600 --> 00:22:58,960
Speaker 2: you know, twenty to thirty stolen or plus stolen bases

522
00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:01,399
Speaker 2: outside the top one fifty. He is key. I love

523
00:23:01,800 --> 00:23:07,000
Speaker 2: Jaron Durant. Next up these two Jackson Holiday So this

524
00:23:07,119 --> 00:23:09,680
Speaker 2: is the second of the Jays. Looks like he is

525
00:23:09,840 --> 00:23:13,440
Speaker 2: locked in to be the second base slash shortstop. However,

526
00:23:13,440 --> 00:23:15,639
Speaker 2: this team ends up wanting to move him around, but

527
00:23:15,760 --> 00:23:17,840
Speaker 2: all indications are he is going to break camp with

528
00:23:17,880 --> 00:23:21,440
Speaker 2: this team. He's hit three hundred in spring, couple stolen bases, homers,

529
00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:24,720
Speaker 2: We've also seen that warning track power start to commit.

530
00:23:24,840 --> 00:23:26,960
Speaker 2: He just launched. I think it was a double against

531
00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:28,960
Speaker 2: Spencer Strider the other day, so you could really see

532
00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:31,920
Speaker 2: the contact skills. The strikeout numbers in spring don't matter.

533
00:23:31,960 --> 00:23:33,520
Speaker 2: This is a guy walked one hundred times in the

534
00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:37,480
Speaker 2: spring and his ADP is still far back one seventy two.

535
00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:41,160
Speaker 2: You're not getting that with Jackson Cherio. You're not getting

536
00:23:41,160 --> 00:23:42,920
Speaker 2: that with White Langford. You're not getting with any of

537
00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:46,840
Speaker 2: those rookies that have a locked in spot. People keep

538
00:23:46,880 --> 00:23:50,399
Speaker 2: talking about I don't know about Jackson Holidays potential for power.

539
00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:53,080
Speaker 2: Well guess what. The guy might steal thirty to forty

540
00:23:53,119 --> 00:23:55,240
Speaker 2: bases this year, play all season long, hit for a

541
00:23:55,320 --> 00:23:59,160
Speaker 2: high average score runs and there is twenty home run

542
00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:01,480
Speaker 2: potential in that back. Now, it might not materialize this year,

543
00:24:01,520 --> 00:24:05,320
Speaker 2: but the guy might hit forty doubles. Jackson Holiday is

544
00:24:05,359 --> 00:24:08,800
Speaker 2: the type of player that can be a league winner

545
00:24:09,160 --> 00:24:12,159
Speaker 2: simply off of the eligibility and the return on value,

546
00:24:12,240 --> 00:24:14,119
Speaker 2: and that leads to number two on the list. It

547
00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:17,680
Speaker 2: should be a pretty obvious one. It's Jackson Churio. Now

548
00:24:17,720 --> 00:24:21,360
Speaker 2: I mentioned you know the cost is different, but it's

549
00:24:21,400 --> 00:24:24,440
Speaker 2: not astronomical. In some cases, we've seen Churio go inside

550
00:24:24,480 --> 00:24:26,960
Speaker 2: the top one hundred, but the ADP across sites have

551
00:24:27,040 --> 00:24:29,400
Speaker 2: them on average at one thirty four, and I think

552
00:24:29,440 --> 00:24:32,720
Speaker 2: you can understand why. Jackson Churio is a league winner.

553
00:24:32,960 --> 00:24:36,280
Speaker 2: Forty three stolen bases, twenty two homers last year in

554
00:24:36,359 --> 00:24:39,040
Speaker 2: Double A. He's hit two eighty three this spring. His

555
00:24:39,080 --> 00:24:41,800
Speaker 2: strikeout rate has actually stayed around twenty percent in spring,

556
00:24:41,840 --> 00:24:46,080
Speaker 2: which is phenomenal. Projections fourteen homers, eighteen stolen bases by

557
00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:49,120
Speaker 2: the Batex, fifteen homers, twenty one stolen bases by ATC

558
00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:51,960
Speaker 2: with a two to fifty batting average. They don't project

559
00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:54,800
Speaker 2: all the games as long as Pat Murphy doesn't do

560
00:24:54,880 --> 00:24:57,280
Speaker 2: the old school thing like he mentioned, like he's still

561
00:24:57,359 --> 00:25:00,439
Speaker 2: in the mix. We see Jackson Turio every day. Jackson

562
00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:05,119
Speaker 2: Trio is a legit thirty thirty potential, probably more realistically

563
00:25:05,440 --> 00:25:08,159
Speaker 2: in the twenties. He's gonna steal a bunch into the

564
00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:10,440
Speaker 2: thirties or forties. I mean, I'm looking at Jaron Duran

565
00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:12,800
Speaker 2: maybe putting up some of those numbers. Trio costs more,

566
00:25:13,080 --> 00:25:16,120
Speaker 2: but this is a superstar in the making. It's outside

567
00:25:16,119 --> 00:25:18,440
Speaker 2: the top one hundred, and usually we are paying sky

568
00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:21,560
Speaker 2: high prices. Corbyn Carroll went up into the top fifty

569
00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:25,640
Speaker 2: last year. There's more risk, but Jackson Holiday and Jackson

570
00:25:25,720 --> 00:25:29,400
Speaker 2: Turio are two of the most obvious league winning names

571
00:25:29,520 --> 00:25:32,360
Speaker 2: that don't come at the costs that we're used to

572
00:25:32,600 --> 00:25:34,520
Speaker 2: for some of the most hyped up prospects.

573
00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:36,800
Speaker 1: Thirty percent of the names in your listener named Jackson too,

574
00:25:36,920 --> 00:25:40,120
Speaker 1: Jackson Merril as well, So pretty much just good guy Jackson's.

575
00:25:40,359 --> 00:25:41,959
Speaker 1: You know you're in your draft too, and you look

576
00:25:42,040 --> 00:25:44,560
Speaker 1: at search bar, you looking for somebody draft Danny Jackson.

577
00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:47,320
Speaker 2: It's like, you know, like there's like baby names like

578
00:25:47,400 --> 00:25:49,920
Speaker 2: Aiden was super popular like five years ago, just like

579
00:25:49,960 --> 00:25:50,920
Speaker 2: this year there it's Al.

580
00:25:50,880 --> 00:25:53,920
Speaker 1: Jackson's all Jackson's this year. I love Duran. I've tried

581
00:25:53,920 --> 00:25:55,680
Speaker 1: to take as many shares as i can. Holiday is

582
00:25:55,680 --> 00:25:57,399
Speaker 1: a player for me that I feel is going to

583
00:25:57,480 --> 00:26:00,400
Speaker 1: be more valuable in head to head points and people

584
00:26:00,440 --> 00:26:03,399
Speaker 1: realize too because of that doubles gap hitter that he

585
00:26:03,480 --> 00:26:05,560
Speaker 1: is the contact you mentioned too, a guy that walked

586
00:26:05,560 --> 00:26:08,560
Speaker 1: a lot in the minor leagues. I'm not concerned at

587
00:26:08,560 --> 00:26:10,520
Speaker 1: all about the contact. I'm not concerned at all about

588
00:26:10,520 --> 00:26:12,720
Speaker 1: the hit tool. The power I do think is going

589
00:26:12,800 --> 00:26:16,000
Speaker 1: to drag. But in points league specifically, which is where

590
00:26:16,040 --> 00:26:18,760
Speaker 1: I prefer to play. He's more of I think, an

591
00:26:18,760 --> 00:26:21,480
Speaker 1: appealing player early on than he would be necessarily in

592
00:26:21,560 --> 00:26:23,840
Speaker 1: some of those rotal formats where you're looking for the

593
00:26:23,880 --> 00:26:26,359
Speaker 1: power speed combination, although the speed's there as well for him.

594
00:26:26,400 --> 00:26:27,919
Speaker 2: But you know what's funny is like I kind of

595
00:26:27,960 --> 00:26:31,000
Speaker 2: see him similar to Bobby Witt in his rookie year,

596
00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:34,159
Speaker 2: and production wise, Bobby Wit like twenty homers, thirty stolen

597
00:26:34,160 --> 00:26:36,760
Speaker 2: bases and he was going inside the top seventy five.

598
00:26:37,240 --> 00:26:40,880
Speaker 2: I think Holiday is like a fifteen thirty stolen based

599
00:26:40,880 --> 00:26:42,439
Speaker 2: guy with a bunch of runs. So it's like a

600
00:26:42,520 --> 00:26:45,600
Speaker 2: tiny bit different but not much yet. It's like sixty

601
00:26:45,640 --> 00:26:48,119
Speaker 2: to seventy spots lower in eightyp So that's how I'm

602
00:26:48,160 --> 00:26:51,520
Speaker 2: approaching Jackson Holiday because I think his hit floor is

603
00:26:51,560 --> 00:26:53,439
Speaker 2: maybe as low as any of the players. I know

604
00:26:53,440 --> 00:26:55,320
Speaker 2: we're going to talk about one of the most exciting

605
00:26:55,359 --> 00:26:59,800
Speaker 2: rookies here shortly, but I mean from a pure batted

606
00:26:59,800 --> 00:27:02,600
Speaker 2: ball skills and their approach at the play, Jackson Holliday

607
00:27:02,680 --> 00:27:04,080
Speaker 2: might be the best beat of all of them, which

608
00:27:04,119 --> 00:27:06,639
Speaker 2: I think gives him a floor of stolen bases and

609
00:27:06,680 --> 00:27:08,399
Speaker 2: the power will be in question if he if he

610
00:27:08,480 --> 00:27:12,159
Speaker 2: hits eight homers and steals thirty five bases, he's Nico

611
00:27:12,280 --> 00:27:14,520
Speaker 2: Horner in the out and at short stops. I was

612
00:27:14,600 --> 00:27:17,760
Speaker 2: essentially the same player. But guess what sixteen to seventy

613
00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:19,600
Speaker 2: spots lower than Nico Horner.

614
00:27:19,760 --> 00:27:22,600
Speaker 1: A lot different. Adp all right, number four through two

615
00:27:22,640 --> 00:27:25,240
Speaker 1: on my list, starting at one eighty two at Twartal Rodriguez.

616
00:27:25,680 --> 00:27:28,160
Speaker 1: Not every guy is, you know, youthful here on this list,

617
00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:31,480
Speaker 1: But EDWARDO. Rodriguez is a player that last year's first

618
00:27:31,520 --> 00:27:34,159
Speaker 1: twelve starts were incredible. Just a recap in case you

619
00:27:34,240 --> 00:27:37,040
Speaker 1: forgot two sixty four ERA over seventy one innings, seventy

620
00:27:37,040 --> 00:27:39,560
Speaker 1: four strikeouts, sixteen walks for the Tigers. He had a

621
00:27:39,600 --> 00:27:43,439
Speaker 1: one point zero one whip over that span. Now I

622
00:27:43,480 --> 00:27:46,480
Speaker 1: understand second half wasn't as good. Things actualize a little

623
00:27:46,480 --> 00:27:49,520
Speaker 1: bit to that three eighty nine mark, But Edward Rodriguez

624
00:27:49,560 --> 00:27:51,639
Speaker 1: is as a track record of always being a solid

625
00:27:51,640 --> 00:27:54,880
Speaker 1: strikeout picture when he was with Boston Red Sox and

626
00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:57,520
Speaker 1: now he finds himself in Arizona, I think that he

627
00:27:57,640 --> 00:27:59,040
Speaker 1: is going to be a guy that's going to give

628
00:27:59,080 --> 00:28:01,760
Speaker 1: you a sub four er again. I don't anticipate it

629
00:28:01,840 --> 00:28:04,000
Speaker 1: being as good as it was though the first twelve

630
00:28:04,040 --> 00:28:06,399
Speaker 1: starts last year. But he's a guy that's going to

631
00:28:06,440 --> 00:28:08,640
Speaker 1: win I think thirteen to fifteen games for you. He's

632
00:28:08,680 --> 00:28:10,560
Speaker 1: going to be competitive. He's going to give you somewhere

633
00:28:10,560 --> 00:28:13,240
Speaker 1: on a strikeout per nine at least. And to get

634
00:28:13,280 --> 00:28:17,240
Speaker 1: a player like that at an ADP somewhere around one

635
00:28:17,480 --> 00:28:19,640
Speaker 1: eighty is nuts to me. Welsh Like, I just think

636
00:28:19,680 --> 00:28:22,879
Speaker 1: that's an incredible value that people are just overlooking. So

637
00:28:23,280 --> 00:28:24,879
Speaker 1: this is a player that's been around a while. He's

638
00:28:24,920 --> 00:28:27,240
Speaker 1: also been very durable, which I think is something outside

639
00:28:27,240 --> 00:28:29,399
Speaker 1: of last year where he did miss some time up

640
00:28:29,480 --> 00:28:32,880
Speaker 1: until then. You know, he did have an issue back

641
00:28:32,920 --> 00:28:34,720
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty where he ended up not playing, and

642
00:28:34,720 --> 00:28:36,959
Speaker 1: that was all fair. He had some issues there post COVID.

643
00:28:37,359 --> 00:28:40,280
Speaker 1: But outside of that, he has given you innings before

644
00:28:40,280 --> 00:28:41,800
Speaker 1: in the past, in fact that he had thrown two

645
00:28:41,880 --> 00:28:44,440
Speaker 1: hundred innings in twenty nineteen, just one hundred and fifty

646
00:28:44,440 --> 00:28:46,800
Speaker 1: two last year unfortunately. But you know, there is a

647
00:28:46,840 --> 00:28:48,720
Speaker 1: track record of this guy going out there and giving

648
00:28:48,760 --> 00:28:51,320
Speaker 1: you mornings than you realize. Also, I'd like to see

649
00:28:51,400 --> 00:28:52,720
Speaker 1: him get back to that this year. I think he

650
00:28:52,800 --> 00:28:55,680
Speaker 1: Can with the Arizona Diamondbacks, and I think he's a

651
00:28:55,680 --> 00:28:58,440
Speaker 1: great value, a great roll of the dice two where again,

652
00:28:58,480 --> 00:29:00,840
Speaker 1: he's basically a free pitcher who I think would be

653
00:29:00,840 --> 00:29:03,120
Speaker 1: more like a middle rotation starter, but he's being drafted.

654
00:29:03,120 --> 00:29:05,320
Speaker 1: It's like a back end guy. Eloya men Is at

655
00:29:05,360 --> 00:29:08,840
Speaker 1: number three at one seventy eight. This takes a lot

656
00:29:08,880 --> 00:29:11,040
Speaker 1: of courage for me, Welsh, but there's money on the line.

657
00:29:11,480 --> 00:29:14,520
Speaker 1: Whenever there's money on the line with a player, I'm listening,

658
00:29:14,560 --> 00:29:17,960
Speaker 1: I'm paying attention. It's not that Eloya Menez isn't a

659
00:29:17,960 --> 00:29:22,000
Speaker 1: good player one hundred and twenty games last year, eighteen homers,

660
00:29:22,040 --> 00:29:25,600
Speaker 1: sixty four RBI, two seventy. The problem is it's constant

661
00:29:25,680 --> 00:29:29,360
Speaker 1: injury issues incomplete seasons. Only eighty four games in twenty

662
00:29:29,360 --> 00:29:32,479
Speaker 1: twenty two, one hundred and twenty last year before that

663
00:29:32,520 --> 00:29:35,000
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty one, fifty five games, so lots of

664
00:29:35,040 --> 00:29:38,920
Speaker 1: issues there. However, projections for him are still relatively mild.

665
00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:42,120
Speaker 1: I mean, twenty five homers eighty RBI right now on

666
00:29:42,160 --> 00:29:44,520
Speaker 1: Fantasy pros to the two seventy five batting average. If he

667
00:29:44,560 --> 00:29:48,280
Speaker 1: gives you just that at an ADP again of one

668
00:29:48,480 --> 00:29:51,400
Speaker 1: seventy eight, Welsh, that's a steal in when we're looking

669
00:29:51,400 --> 00:29:53,720
Speaker 1: for outfielder, especially late in drafts, and if he ends

670
00:29:53,760 --> 00:29:55,680
Speaker 1: up playing more like one hundred and fifty five games,

671
00:29:55,760 --> 00:29:57,000
Speaker 1: he's gonna crush those numbers.

672
00:29:57,000 --> 00:29:58,600
Speaker 2: He's gonna almost put him on this list. By the way,

673
00:29:58,600 --> 00:30:00,520
Speaker 2: I started typing him, and then I was like, ah,

674
00:30:00,680 --> 00:30:02,320
Speaker 2: Joe has them so well.

675
00:30:02,320 --> 00:30:03,920
Speaker 1: Again, I'm glad we see eye to eye. And at

676
00:30:03,960 --> 00:30:06,840
Speaker 1: one seventy five another guy too that I think I'm

677
00:30:06,880 --> 00:30:08,760
Speaker 1: gonna give another shot to. I was very high on

678
00:30:08,840 --> 00:30:12,400
Speaker 1: Hunter Brown last year, and Hunter Brown did not live

679
00:30:12,480 --> 00:30:14,720
Speaker 1: up to my expectations and or any of our expectations

680
00:30:14,720 --> 00:30:17,080
Speaker 1: for that matter, and that happens sometimes with young pitchers.

681
00:30:17,520 --> 00:30:19,880
Speaker 1: But I think there's reasons to be excited about him

682
00:30:19,920 --> 00:30:22,920
Speaker 1: because Brown is another player too having a good spring.

683
00:30:23,400 --> 00:30:25,400
Speaker 1: That goes a long way, because the player like him

684
00:30:25,440 --> 00:30:27,719
Speaker 1: needs to have a good spring. The projections for him

685
00:30:27,760 --> 00:30:29,840
Speaker 1: right now in Fantasy Pros one hundred and fifty three strikeouts,

686
00:30:29,880 --> 00:30:32,560
Speaker 1: A three nine four, ERA one two seven, whip eleven wins.

687
00:30:32,640 --> 00:30:36,520
Speaker 1: Pitch is on a great team. So just that alone. Welsh, again,

688
00:30:36,600 --> 00:30:39,040
Speaker 1: if that's the baseline and he doesn't make any real

689
00:30:39,600 --> 00:30:43,760
Speaker 1: giant leaps forward past that, it's still a good value. However,

690
00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:46,280
Speaker 1: it's hard not to get really excited right now for

691
00:30:46,440 --> 00:30:48,560
Speaker 1: what the upside isn't a player who's pitching for the

692
00:30:48,600 --> 00:30:51,560
Speaker 1: Houston Astros so far, in the seven innings so far

693
00:30:51,600 --> 00:30:54,280
Speaker 1: in spring training, seven strikeouts, just one walk. It's nice

694
00:30:54,280 --> 00:30:56,880
Speaker 1: to see him getting efficient again. That's important. The five

695
00:30:57,120 --> 00:30:59,280
Speaker 1: ra is gonna scare people away. That's why he's buried

696
00:30:59,280 --> 00:31:01,960
Speaker 1: in ADP. But Hunter Brown pitches for a great team.

697
00:31:02,360 --> 00:31:05,600
Speaker 1: He has a rotation spot, and to me, that is

698
00:31:05,640 --> 00:31:07,920
Speaker 1: a huge win where you're looking for some starter pitching

699
00:31:07,960 --> 00:31:10,880
Speaker 1: when you're getting past that group of Michael Kings and

700
00:31:10,880 --> 00:31:12,760
Speaker 1: Bailey OBErs that we like so much. Brown's in that

701
00:31:12,800 --> 00:31:14,360
Speaker 1: next grouping and I think he might be the best

702
00:31:14,360 --> 00:31:15,920
Speaker 1: one of that lot. What do you think about Hunter Brown?

703
00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:19,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm down with that one. He had a tremendous

704
00:31:19,320 --> 00:31:21,720
Speaker 2: start to the year last year and then really fell off,

705
00:31:21,800 --> 00:31:25,160
Speaker 2: kind of as you would expect with rookie pitchers, you know.

706
00:31:25,160 --> 00:31:28,360
Speaker 2: I mean, it's gonna fall apart a little bit. It's

707
00:31:28,400 --> 00:31:31,400
Speaker 2: outside the norm for these guys that can continuously maintain it.

708
00:31:31,480 --> 00:31:33,760
Speaker 2: But so far the spring has been good. Strikeouts have

709
00:31:33,800 --> 00:31:35,880
Speaker 2: been down, but he hasn't been walking at one point

710
00:31:35,880 --> 00:31:38,640
Speaker 2: one to seven walk per nine, which is one, he's

711
00:31:38,640 --> 00:31:41,400
Speaker 2: only walked one in seven and two thirds. He's also

712
00:31:41,640 --> 00:31:44,360
Speaker 2: strikeouts are back there. Era has been maintained. He's only

713
00:31:44,360 --> 00:31:47,280
Speaker 2: given up two earned runs no homer so far this spring,

714
00:31:47,480 --> 00:31:50,000
Speaker 2: and he's been out there three different times. I think

715
00:31:50,080 --> 00:31:52,880
Speaker 2: Hunter Brown is a great bet, especially if he can

716
00:31:52,920 --> 00:31:55,960
Speaker 2: find more consistency, because really it was just about I

717
00:31:56,000 --> 00:31:58,200
Speaker 2: think everything catching up to him at the back end

718
00:31:58,200 --> 00:32:00,600
Speaker 2: of last season and just throwing the out there too.

719
00:32:01,480 --> 00:32:03,880
Speaker 2: If the Astros do make a bid, if they were

720
00:32:04,120 --> 00:32:08,360
Speaker 2: really truthfully after a guy like Blake Snell, and as

721
00:32:08,360 --> 00:32:10,440
Speaker 2: we're recording this, god knows what can happen, but they

722
00:32:10,480 --> 00:32:13,960
Speaker 2: beef up that rotation. Hunter Brown moving you know, to less,

723
00:32:14,040 --> 00:32:16,400
Speaker 2: higher leverage situations is not the worst thing in the

724
00:32:16,400 --> 00:32:18,680
Speaker 2: world because he might be the best pitcher going up

725
00:32:18,680 --> 00:32:21,600
Speaker 2: against other fives out there. So I'm down with this one.

726
00:32:21,680 --> 00:32:24,280
Speaker 2: Projections over nine k per nine. If he keeps those

727
00:32:24,320 --> 00:32:27,040
Speaker 2: walks under two, watch out he'll make a huge jump

728
00:32:27,120 --> 00:32:27,480
Speaker 2: this year.

729
00:32:28,200 --> 00:32:30,000
Speaker 1: All right, So all that's left is the number one

730
00:32:30,040 --> 00:32:32,520
Speaker 1: for each one of us Welsh Let's start with you

731
00:32:32,520 --> 00:32:35,200
Speaker 1: your number one potential league winner of twenty twenty four.

732
00:32:35,440 --> 00:32:38,560
Speaker 2: All Right, these are buzzy guys that we're both gonna

733
00:32:38,600 --> 00:32:41,520
Speaker 2: mention to you, and I want to preface this that

734
00:32:41,960 --> 00:32:45,480
Speaker 2: the varying degrees of where they are drafted could affect this,

735
00:32:45,720 --> 00:32:47,800
Speaker 2: and because I don't want anyone to roll their eyes

736
00:32:47,840 --> 00:32:49,680
Speaker 2: at these type of things. These guys we're both going

737
00:32:49,760 --> 00:32:54,080
Speaker 2: to talk about have higher ADPs, but based on where

738
00:32:54,120 --> 00:32:56,560
Speaker 2: some of the ADP is and where I continuously get

739
00:32:56,560 --> 00:33:02,080
Speaker 2: this player, Cole Reagan's maybe the league winner. Now if

740
00:33:02,120 --> 00:33:03,880
Speaker 2: you listen to our friends of our pitcher, list of

741
00:33:03,920 --> 00:33:05,920
Speaker 2: the people that love Cole Reagans, Cole Reagan's is getting

742
00:33:05,920 --> 00:33:08,120
Speaker 2: pushed up. Our boy, Vlad saidther was talking about the

743
00:33:08,240 --> 00:33:11,120
Speaker 2: NFBC main event and said, hey, don't be surprised when

744
00:33:11,160 --> 00:33:14,840
Speaker 2: you see Cole Reagans go at three because buzz generates

745
00:33:14,880 --> 00:33:16,719
Speaker 2: a whole lot of the crazy stuff third round, by

746
00:33:16,720 --> 00:33:19,880
Speaker 2: the way, you see the buzz kind of generate a

747
00:33:19,920 --> 00:33:22,520
Speaker 2: whole lot of the upside play that people want to do.

748
00:33:22,920 --> 00:33:24,640
Speaker 2: But in a lot of your guys' drafts out there,

749
00:33:24,720 --> 00:33:27,680
Speaker 2: Cole Reagans is still going outside the top twenty sps.

750
00:33:27,720 --> 00:33:30,120
Speaker 2: He's still going in the eighties or nineties, people aren't

751
00:33:30,160 --> 00:33:32,840
Speaker 2: watching it. This spring, he has an almost eleven k

752
00:33:32,880 --> 00:33:34,960
Speaker 2: per nine. He's gotten hit up a little bit, but really,

753
00:33:35,000 --> 00:33:38,280
Speaker 2: who cares about the actual runs when his walks are

754
00:33:38,320 --> 00:33:41,280
Speaker 2: at about two per nine right now, he's not giving

755
00:33:41,360 --> 00:33:43,920
Speaker 2: up homers and he's gotten over an eleven k per nine.

756
00:33:43,960 --> 00:33:48,080
Speaker 2: We've seen the fastball increase. Cole Reagan's has the stuff

757
00:33:48,600 --> 00:33:50,920
Speaker 2: to be one of the top pitchers in baseball. We

758
00:33:50,920 --> 00:33:53,880
Speaker 2: saw Spencer Strider take the jump of jump. His situation

759
00:33:53,960 --> 00:33:55,400
Speaker 2: is a little bit different because some people are worried

760
00:33:55,400 --> 00:33:57,920
Speaker 2: about him being relieved. We're not worried about that with Reagans.

761
00:33:57,960 --> 00:34:00,680
Speaker 2: But what we've seen is him carry over where he

762
00:34:00,760 --> 00:34:02,960
Speaker 2: was one of the most elite pitchers in the second

763
00:34:03,000 --> 00:34:05,440
Speaker 2: half of last year. He's carried that over into this

764
00:34:05,520 --> 00:34:08,360
Speaker 2: spring where we're seeing the stuff continue to go. Royals

765
00:34:08,440 --> 00:34:11,200
Speaker 2: might be kind of a sneaky team run support and

766
00:34:11,320 --> 00:34:13,399
Speaker 2: wins might be a kind of big key about how

767
00:34:13,480 --> 00:34:16,600
Speaker 2: valuable he can be. But I don't think it's out

768
00:34:16,640 --> 00:34:19,000
Speaker 2: of the realm with possibility to see that Cole Reagan's

769
00:34:19,000 --> 00:34:22,000
Speaker 2: could be a top eight starting pitcher this year. So yes,

770
00:34:22,080 --> 00:34:25,200
Speaker 2: this isn't a two hundred eight or three hundred overall player.

771
00:34:25,360 --> 00:34:27,439
Speaker 2: This is a player as an ADP of ninety six

772
00:34:27,480 --> 00:34:31,120
Speaker 2: according to Fantasy Pros consensus ADP across all the sites.

773
00:34:31,320 --> 00:34:33,800
Speaker 2: That doesn't dictate the one person that listens to a

774
00:34:33,880 --> 00:34:37,640
Speaker 2: certain podcast or whatever. And Jen snags Cole Reagan's up.

775
00:34:37,640 --> 00:34:41,080
Speaker 2: But Reagans could go from SP twenty five to five

776
00:34:41,520 --> 00:34:44,680
Speaker 2: and getting him as your SP three or four could

777
00:34:44,760 --> 00:34:48,000
Speaker 2: make him an absolute league winner this year. So he

778
00:34:48,200 --> 00:34:50,840
Speaker 2: was my definitive number one league winner.

779
00:34:51,840 --> 00:34:53,960
Speaker 1: I love it and I love being aggressive on him,

780
00:34:53,960 --> 00:34:55,799
Speaker 1: and I also agree with you about the Royals too.

781
00:34:55,840 --> 00:34:57,600
Speaker 1: I just talked about them the Sunday TV show on

782
00:34:57,640 --> 00:34:59,800
Speaker 1: Sports Greed. I said, you know, don't be surprised that

783
00:34:59,880 --> 00:35:02,040
Speaker 1: the Royals are kind of like the Pirates of last year.

784
00:35:02,080 --> 00:35:04,040
Speaker 1: They get out of the gate pretty quick and everyone's like,

785
00:35:04,160 --> 00:35:06,360
Speaker 1: where are the Royals coming from? Top half of the

786
00:35:06,360 --> 00:35:08,360
Speaker 1: lineup is good. Bottom half is still a little suspect

787
00:35:08,400 --> 00:35:11,440
Speaker 1: for me once you get past Renfro. But if the

788
00:35:11,440 --> 00:35:14,000
Speaker 1: bottom half that lineup performs and you get Waka and

789
00:35:14,080 --> 00:35:16,719
Speaker 1: Lugo looking like they did anything close to last year.

790
00:35:16,800 --> 00:35:19,240
Speaker 1: On top of Brady Singer, who's made improvements, and Reagan's

791
00:35:19,239 --> 00:35:22,200
Speaker 1: at the top of this rotation that's four starters deep.

792
00:35:22,239 --> 00:35:23,920
Speaker 1: There's not a lot of teams right now they can

793
00:35:23,920 --> 00:35:26,040
Speaker 1: go four starters deep in the American League and they can.

794
00:35:26,239 --> 00:35:27,840
Speaker 1: I mean there's a few at the top of that board.

795
00:35:27,880 --> 00:35:30,920
Speaker 1: But with every day, another pitching injury gets us closer

796
00:35:30,960 --> 00:35:33,600
Speaker 1: and closer to you know, that not being the case.

797
00:35:33,640 --> 00:35:35,480
Speaker 1: So Reagan's is a guy you probably have to be

798
00:35:35,520 --> 00:35:37,279
Speaker 1: a little bit more aggressive on. So if he's going

799
00:35:37,320 --> 00:35:40,120
Speaker 1: as an average ADP of ninety six, i'd move that

800
00:35:40,200 --> 00:35:41,919
Speaker 1: up in your brains. If you want him this year, Welsh,

801
00:35:41,960 --> 00:35:43,759
Speaker 1: I feel like that's you know, if you're drafting this

802
00:35:43,800 --> 00:35:45,080
Speaker 1: last weekend, you have to.

803
00:35:45,080 --> 00:35:47,520
Speaker 2: You have to reach, you know, get your guys Like

804
00:35:47,560 --> 00:35:50,320
Speaker 2: I'm not I don't care about like what the ADP says.

805
00:35:50,719 --> 00:35:53,680
Speaker 2: I'm placing him in that general space where I want

806
00:35:53,719 --> 00:35:55,600
Speaker 2: those big strike up pictures, Like when I get to

807
00:35:55,680 --> 00:35:58,680
Speaker 2: Bobby Miller world, I'm looking at Reagan's and Bobby Miller

808
00:35:58,719 --> 00:36:00,440
Speaker 2: and that tends to get into the city, the your

809
00:36:00,480 --> 00:36:03,160
Speaker 2: seventies overall and the great thing. Now obviously this.

810
00:36:03,080 --> 00:36:05,080
Speaker 1: Camply I would still say Miller over him. I'm more

811
00:36:05,120 --> 00:36:08,359
Speaker 1: confident in the six months when I'm gonna get out

812
00:36:08,360 --> 00:36:11,640
Speaker 1: of Bobby Miller better team, you know, all that stuff.

813
00:36:11,680 --> 00:36:13,560
Speaker 1: But I get it. That's the range now.

814
00:36:13,600 --> 00:36:15,160
Speaker 2: And some of these things can blow up. But the

815
00:36:15,200 --> 00:36:17,480
Speaker 2: thing about you know, putting league winners in here is

816
00:36:17,520 --> 00:36:19,520
Speaker 2: I think the floor all the players we've talked about

817
00:36:19,520 --> 00:36:22,200
Speaker 2: the floor versus the cost is different than us talking

818
00:36:22,239 --> 00:36:24,759
Speaker 2: about breakouts. You know, the next breakout player blah blah blah.

819
00:36:24,800 --> 00:36:27,880
Speaker 2: Now this is like Cole Reagans. Some things could fall apart,

820
00:36:27,920 --> 00:36:30,359
Speaker 2: and guess what he could return back to his normal value.

821
00:36:30,400 --> 00:36:32,480
Speaker 2: I think it's going to be hard, based on what

822
00:36:32,480 --> 00:36:34,600
Speaker 2: we're seeing from his stuff in his strikeout numbers for

823
00:36:34,760 --> 00:36:38,680
Speaker 2: him to have a negative return. But the odds are

824
00:36:38,960 --> 00:36:42,360
Speaker 2: so big for a positive return, and there's pretty solid odds,

825
00:36:42,400 --> 00:36:44,480
Speaker 2: especially if you're looking from overall players near the top

826
00:36:44,520 --> 00:36:48,600
Speaker 2: one hundred, for him to have a massive, massive return

827
00:36:48,680 --> 00:36:50,880
Speaker 2: based on his stuff. So you know, it might be

828
00:36:50,960 --> 00:36:53,680
Speaker 2: kind of eye rolly because oh, Cole Reagan's is buzzy, but.

829
00:36:54,000 --> 00:36:56,479
Speaker 1: He's a league winner, right, Sometimes it's right. Just because

830
00:36:56,480 --> 00:36:58,040
Speaker 1: it's buzzy, he doesn't mean it's wrong. In this year.

831
00:36:58,080 --> 00:36:59,799
Speaker 1: I don't think it's wrong either. Before I get to

00:37:46,719 --> 00:37:49,560
Speaker 1: My number one league winner potentially in twenty twenty four.

851
00:37:49,920 --> 00:37:52,440
Speaker 1: Another buzzy guy, but I don't care. It's wyat Langford,

852
00:37:52,440 --> 00:37:54,760
Speaker 1: who's leading the planet in everything so far this spring,

853
00:37:55,239 --> 00:37:59,760
Speaker 1: one sixty one overall ADP the outfielder for the Texas Rangers.

854
00:37:59,760 --> 00:38:02,800
Speaker 1: Who I mean, this guy has so much upside Welsh

855
00:38:02,840 --> 00:38:06,400
Speaker 1: forty four minor league games, elite level, slash three sixty

856
00:38:06,600 --> 00:38:11,680
Speaker 1: four eighty OBP six seventy seven slugging percentage. It's eleven

857
00:38:11,719 --> 00:38:14,319
Speaker 1: fifty seven ops in case you can do with the

858
00:38:14,320 --> 00:38:17,040
Speaker 1: math at home so far this spring. I'm looking at

859
00:38:17,080 --> 00:38:20,080
Speaker 1: my notes. He is number one in the league in ops,

860
00:38:20,520 --> 00:38:24,239
Speaker 1: RBI slugging percentage. He is number two, tied for number

861
00:38:24,239 --> 00:38:26,240
Speaker 1: two in home runs as of us recording this today.

862
00:38:26,480 --> 00:38:29,440
Speaker 1: He is third in batting average, third and hits. Wyatt

863
00:38:29,520 --> 00:38:34,520
Speaker 1: Langford is destroying baseballs everywhere. He's destroyed baseballs in college,

864
00:38:34,560 --> 00:38:37,080
Speaker 1: he's destroyed baseballs in the minor leagues, and he's going

865
00:38:37,120 --> 00:38:39,160
Speaker 1: to destroy baseball's at the major league level. I'm not

866
00:38:39,200 --> 00:38:41,279
Speaker 1: saying he's a perfect player, but when you're getting a

867
00:38:41,280 --> 00:38:44,280
Speaker 1: player of this magnitude at this stage, at one sixty

868
00:38:44,520 --> 00:38:46,120
Speaker 1: or you know, in this range again, if you have

869
00:38:46,160 --> 00:38:48,160
Speaker 1: to be more aggressive, and you know, I know in

870
00:38:48,200 --> 00:38:50,800
Speaker 1: some spots he's already moved up to the one fifty range.

871
00:38:50,800 --> 00:38:52,239
Speaker 1: I think it's going to be even more than that.

872
00:38:52,520 --> 00:38:56,000
Speaker 1: The Fantasy pros projections seventy one runs, twenty homers, seventy

873
00:38:56,040 --> 00:38:58,320
Speaker 1: three RBI, fourteen stone bases, and a two to sixty

874
00:38:58,360 --> 00:39:01,920
Speaker 1: batting average. Welsh. If that's the floor, I want to

875
00:39:01,920 --> 00:39:03,800
Speaker 1: be walking on it because I think the upside is

876
00:39:03,840 --> 00:39:07,120
Speaker 1: even more. But just that alone, a player of that

877
00:39:07,200 --> 00:39:10,200
Speaker 1: kind of magnitude, of that kind of return on investment,

878
00:39:10,520 --> 00:39:12,640
Speaker 1: You're gonna give me a twenty fourteen player with a

879
00:39:12,680 --> 00:39:15,200
Speaker 1: two to sixty batting average at one point fifty even,

880
00:39:15,680 --> 00:39:18,120
Speaker 1: I'll take that to the bank. White Langford is special.

881
00:39:18,440 --> 00:39:20,560
Speaker 1: He is my preference over Evan Carter. I said it

882
00:39:20,560 --> 00:39:22,760
Speaker 1: way back in February, and I'm gonna say it again.

883
00:39:23,440 --> 00:39:25,480
Speaker 1: White Langford is a guy I want. White Langford, I

884
00:39:25,480 --> 00:39:27,240
Speaker 1: think is the impact player and I think White Langford

885
00:39:27,320 --> 00:39:29,320
Speaker 1: can win people leagues. What do you think about Langford?

886
00:39:29,560 --> 00:39:32,840
Speaker 2: Yeah? I bet him months ago for Rookie of the

887
00:39:32,920 --> 00:39:35,120
Speaker 2: Year over Evan Carter when he was six to one.

888
00:39:35,120 --> 00:39:37,000
Speaker 2: I think it's moved up to like around three and

889
00:39:37,000 --> 00:39:38,839
Speaker 2: a half or three to one or somewhere in there.

890
00:39:38,960 --> 00:39:40,400
Speaker 2: I'm a little I mean, he's hit a lot of

891
00:39:40,400 --> 00:39:42,560
Speaker 2: ground balls in spring, so it's gonna be something to watch.

892
00:39:42,560 --> 00:39:45,240
Speaker 2: But when you were reading off those projections, I legit

893
00:39:45,280 --> 00:39:47,719
Speaker 2: think he can beat at least four of those. I'm

894
00:39:47,760 --> 00:39:49,799
Speaker 2: a little dicey on where the stolen bases are gonna

895
00:39:49,800 --> 00:39:52,600
Speaker 2: go and how the Rangers approach massive stolen bases with him.

896
00:39:52,760 --> 00:39:55,680
Speaker 2: But here's the big positive. He's been hitting like three

897
00:39:55,840 --> 00:39:58,120
Speaker 2: or four in that lineup all season long.

898
00:39:59,080 --> 00:40:01,880
Speaker 1: Of course is not there, so like when Seger comes in,

899
00:40:01,920 --> 00:40:04,000
Speaker 1: I know it's gonna change the dynamic, but if he

900
00:40:04,040 --> 00:40:04,960
Speaker 1: keeps hitting it might not.

901
00:40:05,480 --> 00:40:09,279
Speaker 2: But it changes the dynamic in Carter versus him because

902
00:40:09,320 --> 00:40:12,359
Speaker 2: Seger is their number two and Simeon is their lead

903
00:40:12,360 --> 00:40:14,959
Speaker 2: off guy. That's how they like to roll. So would

904
00:40:15,000 --> 00:40:18,200
Speaker 2: they want to go, you know, maybe versus rightys they

905
00:40:18,239 --> 00:40:22,640
Speaker 2: go Carter Adoles and then Langford, and then versus lefties.

906
00:40:22,960 --> 00:40:26,239
Speaker 2: Carter hits three adulas, maybe the Doles hits three. I mean,

907
00:40:26,360 --> 00:40:28,680
Speaker 2: he's got an opportunity to hit in the top five

908
00:40:28,719 --> 00:40:31,440
Speaker 2: of the order all year long, worst case at six,

909
00:40:31,680 --> 00:40:35,160
Speaker 2: but you're hitting behind guys like Garcia and Seeger. I

910
00:40:35,239 --> 00:40:38,560
Speaker 2: love the floor. He walks a ton, He's got a

911
00:40:38,680 --> 00:40:40,879
Speaker 2: great presence at the plate. You do have to watch

912
00:40:40,960 --> 00:40:43,040
Speaker 2: and make sure that he's got really good quality of

913
00:40:43,080 --> 00:40:45,080
Speaker 2: contact at the major league level, and that's gonna be

914
00:40:45,200 --> 00:40:47,359
Speaker 2: the thing. But I've been at Rangers camp a ton

915
00:40:47,440 --> 00:40:49,560
Speaker 2: and he is always working with the starters at every point.

916
00:40:49,600 --> 00:40:53,240
Speaker 2: He's locked in with Evan Carter and Garcia. He's gonna

917
00:40:53,280 --> 00:40:55,560
Speaker 2: break camp. He's gonna be the guy, and he legit

918
00:40:55,840 --> 00:40:57,360
Speaker 2: could be a league winner. And I think it's a

919
00:40:57,360 --> 00:40:59,680
Speaker 2: good bet. And guess what, like if you want to

920
00:40:59,760 --> 00:41:03,440
Speaker 2: like an him to last year's guy in Corbyn Carroll

921
00:41:03,480 --> 00:41:06,440
Speaker 2: in the cost, it's half as much. I mean, Carol

922
00:41:06,480 --> 00:41:08,799
Speaker 2: was a top forty player. Langford is still going off

923
00:41:08,840 --> 00:41:10,360
Speaker 2: around seventy or eighty in.

924
00:41:10,360 --> 00:41:11,680
Speaker 1: A lot of suns. I don't think it's got a

925
00:41:11,680 --> 00:41:15,000
Speaker 1: lot less impactful as Carol. Carol was everything and more

926
00:41:15,080 --> 00:41:17,439
Speaker 1: and we were aggressive and it still wasn't aggressive enough

927
00:41:17,719 --> 00:41:20,279
Speaker 1: considering if you even more aggressive, you still got more

928
00:41:20,320 --> 00:41:23,399
Speaker 1: than you asked for. So to recap here, Welsh's ten,
