And how serious Frank is 0:02:36.720 --> 0:02:39.320 taking this cross I already missed a bunch of players 0:02:39.320 --> 0:02:42.320 on this Fantasy pros sheet on January is when he's 0:02:42.320 --> 0:02:45.200 second for a mock You don't think Frank Stamford is 0:02:45.240 --> 0:02:50.919 dedicated to fantasy baseball. Look at this, people, Well, thank 0:02:50.960 --> 0:02:53.320 you getting my word. I'm so happy that you didn't 0:02:53.320 --> 0:02:54.880 you didn't rip it. Now that I've I've missed every 0:02:54.919 --> 0:02:56.880 draft pick. Well this is I'm not gonna be able 0:02:56.880 --> 0:03:00.000 to pay attention to this anymore.

James are back? 0:03:17.280 --> 0:03:21.160 Maybe watching Zion Williamson's debut tonight to sleep a little 0:03:21.200 --> 0:03:24.920 better tonight, Let's go. We're there, man, the the debut 0:03:25.400 --> 0:03:31.519 of Zion Williamson tonight in the NBA from time on EESPN, 0:03:31.880 --> 0:03:34.120 it's gonna be great, and Frank, we're gonna talk about it. 0:03:34.120 --> 0:03:36.760 Not by ourselves tonight. We will not be by ourselves. 0:03:36.800 --> 0:03:40.360 We have Christian Clark of Noah dot Com The Times 0:03:40.400 --> 0:03:43.560 picking you enjoining us later in the show to talk 0:03:43.600 --> 0:03:46.440 about the debut of Zion Williamson. What we can expect tonight, 0:03:46.800 --> 0:03:48.680 what we can expect for the rest of the season. 0:03:48.720 --> 0:03:50.520 There's a bunch of people that have question marks about 0:03:50.600 --> 0:03:53.080 Zion Williamson, Greg, I am not one of those people 0:03:53.080 --> 0:03:55.880 that personally I think he's going to be awesome. You know. 0:03:55.920 --> 0:03:59.240 Maybe the only question I have is regarding his body 0:03:59.320 --> 0:04:03.560 type and the mass with which his body comes with obviously, 0:04:04.200 --> 0:04:06.400 and how that might hold up long term. So we 0:04:06.520 --> 0:04:08.520 try and get some answers out of Christian Clark later 0:04:08.560 --> 0:04:09.960 on in the show. I'm happy to do that, but 0:04:10.200 --> 0:04:13.600 until we get there, Greg, we're talking baseball. We spent 0:04:13.640 --> 0:04:16.120 a lot of time baseball one second, but we spent 0:04:16.160 --> 0:04:20.400 a lot of time on UM the Grizzlies, righty talking 0:04:20.440 --> 0:04:22.720 off air on air, SMA, other stuff we do about 0:04:22.839 --> 0:04:25.760 what Memphis does and how they're in the playoffs at 0:04:25.800 --> 0:04:28.919 the moment. Belicians, who were the worst team in the 0:04:29.000 --> 0:04:31.320 league of the first month of the season, like Nicks, 0:04:31.400 --> 0:04:34.240 like bad three and a half games out. Now you're 0:04:34.279 --> 0:04:36.479 eleven and five in their last sixteen games. Zion Williams 0:04:36.560 --> 0:04:40.880 is back, Drew Holiday's back, Brandon Ingram's back, Alonzo balls back. 0:04:42.120 --> 0:04:44.720 A Lonzo ball has been back, Greg, he's balling out 0:04:44.800 --> 0:04:47.120 in the month of January. No pun intended, but a 0:04:47.120 --> 0:04:49.400 Lonzo ball is playing really well. Drew Holiday just came 0:04:49.400 --> 0:04:51.440 back in his last game, scored thirty six points in 0:04:51.440 --> 0:04:54.839 that game. How you get Zion Ingram is playing at 0:04:54.839 --> 0:04:56.560 an All Star level? Brandon Ingram should be an All 0:04:56.560 --> 0:04:59.000 Star too, Yes he should. I know that. You you're 0:04:59.040 --> 0:05:01.120 probably one of those people who last at people who 0:05:01.200 --> 0:05:03.040 vote for the All Star Game, and I'm one of 0:05:03.040 --> 0:05:05.400 those people. But I voted for Brandon Ingram. I think 0:05:05.400 --> 0:05:06.960 he deserves to be an All Star. So I don't. 0:05:07.000 --> 0:05:10.640 I don't think I laugh. No, you definitely don't. I don't. 0:05:11.279 --> 0:05:13.280 I don't think it's wrong with that. I just voted 0:05:13.279 --> 0:05:15.080 for a bunch of people that a I like and 0:05:15.160 --> 0:05:17.719 I think are deserving. So I voted for Bamata Bio obviously, 0:05:17.760 --> 0:05:19.920 and like Jimmy. You imagine if the Pelicans see in 0:05:20.040 --> 0:05:23.719 the playoffs as that faced the Lakers, right, Alonzo, ball 0:05:24.680 --> 0:05:27.360 Ay Davis, the whole thing. How cool would that be? 0:05:27.839 --> 0:05:29.640 That would be very cool. It would be a lot 0:05:29.640 --> 0:05:31.560 of fun. Here, Greg, what's happening? Oh my god, I'm 0:05:31.560 --> 0:05:34.480 missing a bunch of draft picks here. Where's the focus here, Bud? 0:05:35.080 --> 0:05:38.039 The focus is on everything, Greg, That's where the focus 0:05:38.120 --> 0:05:41.080 is on. Come on, I know, but I want to 0:05:41.080 --> 0:05:42.640 see which players are going. I want to see where 0:05:42.640 --> 0:05:45.520 everyone's being drafted. I haven't really participated in too many 0:05:45.600 --> 0:05:48.640 drafts in general yet. Oh, Nelson Cruise. You know I 0:05:48.680 --> 0:05:51.000 love Nelson Cruise. Greg had him on your list. I 0:05:51.000 --> 0:05:54.799 didn't get him. Sorry, well, you distracted me. I'm sorry. 0:05:54.800 --> 0:05:56.920 We're on a live show at the moment we are. 0:05:57.080 --> 0:05:59.120 Would you like to? Would you like talk about who 0:05:59.120 --> 0:06:02.680 I'm drafting right now? Really? So you don't want to 0:06:02.720 --> 0:06:05.279 do this at all? Why are we been doing this stuff? 0:06:05.279 --> 0:06:06.760 I wanted stuff. I wanted to get to to be 0:06:06.800 --> 0:06:09.000 honest with you, because the biggest news in baseball yesterday, 0:06:09.240 --> 0:06:11.680 Well today it's Luis Rojasty, new manager of the New 0:06:11.760 --> 0:06:15.839 York Metropolitans, the son of Phelipe. Something crazy here, Greg, 0:06:17.040 --> 0:06:19.360 I keep going, all right, I'll take this guy for now. 0:06:19.400 --> 0:06:21.320 I just took Reese Hoskins in the eighth round. Greg, 0:06:21.400 --> 0:06:23.839 Let's do the great value, doesn't it. He's my starting 0:06:23.839 --> 0:06:27.080 first basement. Why wouldn't he be hoss like? Awesome? I 0:06:27.120 --> 0:06:28.280 gotta read you my team. I don't care if you 0:06:28.279 --> 0:06:32.240 don't want to know. I want your reaction, Luis. It 0:06:32.279 --> 0:06:34.960 doesn't matter. This is what matters right now, Greg. Through 0:06:35.000 --> 0:06:40.680 eight rounds, my team is Reese Hoskins, Mike Mustakis, Javier Bayas, 0:06:41.240 --> 0:06:47.200 Bryce Harper, Mookie Betts, Shane Bieber, Luis Severino, and you Darvish. 0:06:47.279 --> 0:06:50.039 He's really awesome. Why you Darvish? Though? He was the 0:06:50.160 --> 0:06:52.520 last picture in that tier and it was about to end, 0:06:52.520 --> 0:06:55.320 and I wanted a third starter, so I but Syndergard 0:06:55.400 --> 0:06:57.599 was already gone. Grank, he was already gone. Charlie Morton 0:06:57.640 --> 0:06:59.440 was already gone. I really wanted Morton. I just missed 0:06:59.480 --> 0:07:02.719 out on him to like that. Morton's your boy, Morton 0:07:02.880 --> 0:07:06.080 is Morton went at the end of the fourth round. 0:07:06.080 --> 0:07:07.920 He's climbing up, man. I saw him going to third 0:07:08.000 --> 0:07:10.400 round of a draft. Yesterday, Jesus saw Matt Olsen go 0:07:10.400 --> 0:07:13.000 in the third round of tweeting about that. Crazy. That's 0:07:13.000 --> 0:07:14.760 a little bit nuts. It's crazy. All right. Now you 0:07:14.760 --> 0:07:17.000 can talk about whatever you were talking about. The Mets 0:07:17.000 --> 0:07:21.680 new manager, that's Louis Rojas Feliu, brother of Moissy's alu Uh. 0:07:21.840 --> 0:07:24.400 They stayed inside the organization. They hired a guy that 0:07:24.440 --> 0:07:26.480 they saw us a fast riser, somebody that interviewed the 0:07:26.520 --> 0:07:31.040 first time, and that's who they went with. Luis Rojas. 0:07:31.120 --> 0:07:34.560 The new manager was the quality control coach last year 0:07:35.720 --> 0:07:37.720 and doesn't have some kind of minor league experience as well. 0:07:37.880 --> 0:07:40.200 He's he's been in the minor league system for the 0:07:40.240 --> 0:07:41.880 Mets doing stuff for a very long time. It's kind 0:07:41.920 --> 0:07:44.520 of surprising to me that Eduardo Perez made it to 0:07:44.920 --> 0:07:49.440 basically the finals between himself and Carlos Beltron, and he 0:07:49.480 --> 0:07:51.480 didn't end up getting this job. Well, maybe that's kind 0:07:51.480 --> 0:07:54.720 of weird. Maybe that's not true. We UIs Rojas was 0:07:54.720 --> 0:07:58.320 the other candidate. That's true, you know, give it Louis 0:07:58.440 --> 0:08:01.080 Rojas here doesn't be a tough over Frank. I can 0:08:01.120 --> 0:08:03.520 see it's good already to show, all right, when we 0:08:03.560 --> 0:08:05.200 take a break here, when we come back, I have 0:08:05.280 --> 0:08:07.360 to ask Frank some stuff about the Atlanta Braves, in 0:08:07.400 --> 0:08:10.560 particular Marcelo Student, their newest signing, pitching, some other guys 0:08:10.600 --> 0:08:12.480 on the Braves I have questions about. Hopefully Frank has 0:08:12.480 --> 0:08:18.200 answer that. Let me paying attention. Why no NFL season 0:08:18.360 --> 0:08:20.200 is now upon us and you can become the eighth 0:08:20.200 --> 0:08:23.360 person away one million dollars in a Fandeler Draft Kings 0:08:23.440 --> 0:08:25.840 tournament by setting their lineups using the Daily Order dot 0:08:25.880 --> 0:08:29.120 Com DFS line of optimizer.

Last year, maybe not 0:08:52.040 --> 0:08:55.840 the unluckiest, but definitely one of the most unlucky players. Normally, 0:08:55.960 --> 0:09:00.920 when we look at prolific hitters in baseball, their numbers 0:09:00.920 --> 0:09:03.360 are the batting averages high, the home runs are high, 0:09:03.640 --> 0:09:06.960 the slugging percentage on base percentage is all high, and 0:09:07.120 --> 0:09:09.960 they're expected numbers are a little bit lower. That was 0:09:10.040 --> 0:09:12.760 not the case with Marcelo Zuna. I mean, he had 0:09:12.760 --> 0:09:15.680 to forty one last year. His expected batting average was 0:09:15.720 --> 0:09:19.280 tight eight that is insane. His slugging percentage was four 0:09:19.360 --> 0:09:24.280 seventy two solid slugging percentage, expected slug five forty eight, 0:09:25.120 --> 0:09:27.840 three thirty six woll but expected woll but three eighty two. 0:09:27.840 --> 0:09:30.000 He was extremely unlucky last year, and now he joins 0:09:30.000 --> 0:09:33.680 the lineup where Ronald acuna, Azzi, Albi's and Freddie Freeman 0:09:33.720 --> 0:09:36.160 are hitting ahead of him. And you're getting him outside. 0:09:35.720 --> 0:09:39.160 He's going around pick one ten right now in NFBC 0:09:39.320 --> 0:09:41.760 a DP. You know what he is. He's a four 0:09:41.800 --> 0:09:44.400 category contributor. Maybe he'll give you a handful of stolen basis, 0:09:44.440 --> 0:09:47.720 not much more than that. But he seems like a 0:09:47.760 --> 0:09:49.839 good value right now. It seems like someone that can 0:09:50.480 --> 0:09:52.920 Maybe he doesn't do exactly what Donaldson did last year 0:09:52.920 --> 0:09:54.840 at the Braves, but I don't see why he can't 0:09:54.840 --> 0:09:58.240 come close. Right, So the obvious question, who would you 0:09:58.320 --> 0:10:03.880 rather have Marcelo Zuna or Reese Hoskins. Well, considering how 0:10:03.920 --> 0:10:07.920 I took Reese Hoskins over Marcelo Zuna in this draft, um, 0:10:08.520 --> 0:10:11.200 I guess the answer. The answers Reese Hoskins. But I 0:10:11.200 --> 0:10:13.720 think Reece Hoskins actually goes way after him. An ADP, Right, 0:10:14.000 --> 0:10:16.280 that's not true. Really, they're close. One oh eight for 0:10:16.360 --> 0:10:20.600 Marcelo Zuna one eleven Freeze Hoskins. Okay, the biggest difference 0:10:20.800 --> 0:10:24.200 is Zoona is gonna give a better batting average. Obviously, 0:10:24.200 --> 0:10:26.120 in the n OFBC you play rotal leagues. Those are 0:10:26.160 --> 0:10:30.240 five outfielders. So if you look at position scarcity, um, 0:10:30.400 --> 0:10:32.559 and you're off that this year, right, after last year's 0:10:34.160 --> 0:10:36.240 I'm all over the place. The reason I just took 0:10:36.280 --> 0:10:38.760 Reese Hoskins because he's like the last first basement left 0:10:38.800 --> 0:10:41.760 that I liked. That was okay, it was like the 0:10:41.800 --> 0:10:43.200 drop off of it wasn't like you needed to take 0:10:43.200 --> 0:10:44.839 an outfielder in the first round because I have five. 0:10:44.840 --> 0:10:46.960 Oh my god, I'm gonna die. No, no, no, no no, 0:10:46.960 --> 0:10:49.480 no no. We did not last year that I did 0:10:49.480 --> 0:10:53.400 not do that, Greg Um. So look, I think you'll 0:10:53.400 --> 0:10:55.360 get a better batting average out of Marcelo Zuna. I 0:10:55.360 --> 0:10:57.920 think you'll get similar power numbers, maybe better home runs 0:10:57.920 --> 0:10:59.880 out of Reese Hoskins. Both really good line up. They're 0:10:59.880 --> 0:11:03.880 going to drive in r BIS and the run scored 0:11:04.080 --> 0:11:06.920 maybe slightly in favor of Marcelo Zuna. Like, who's line 0:11:06.960 --> 0:11:08.600 up do you think is better? The Phillies are the Braves? 0:11:09.160 --> 0:11:12.680 Both really good braves? Is the first? Is my first inkling? Sure? 0:11:12.840 --> 0:11:16.760 Stand by the Braves? Actually, yeah, okay, I would take 0:11:16.760 --> 0:11:19.199 Marcellos Doverese Hoskins. I like, I think they're close, and 0:11:19.240 --> 0:11:22.840 then they're close. Better lineup. Five outfielders could play when 0:11:22.880 --> 0:11:27.480 it's that close. Four no three category contributors. But Ozuna 0:11:27.480 --> 0:11:29.959 is going to be better in batting average. So in hindsight, yeah, 0:11:30.000 --> 0:11:31.400 I mean I think it Una is probably the better 0:11:31.400 --> 0:11:34.439 player in a vacuum than Reese Hoskins. You also know 0:11:34.559 --> 0:11:37.040 nothing nothing. You got twelve stile mass last year to Marcellosina. 0:11:37.559 --> 0:11:39.800 Really yeah, it's got to be a career high. It 0:11:40.000 --> 0:11:42.880 is very much care okay, because I was the highest 0:11:42.920 --> 0:11:45.439 of his career previously was where he had five for 0:11:45.480 --> 0:11:51.400 the Marlins. Interesting, it's not nothing, Frankie, it is not nothing. 0:11:51.679 --> 0:11:54.720 I'm sorry, I'm on the clock paying attention. This is bad. Okay. Now, 0:11:54.840 --> 0:11:56.800 if this Max Freed is my fourth starting ficture, I'm 0:11:56.800 --> 0:11:59.200 glad Max. I'm gonna get into Max Freed. And that 0:11:59.240 --> 0:12:00.880 was part of the planning the show to talk about 0:12:00.880 --> 0:12:02.920 Max Free. We'll do that in a second. Not alright, 0:12:02.960 --> 0:12:04.439 I'm back again. I had to make a draft pick. 0:12:04.440 --> 0:12:08.000 I got Max Freed. Okay, So you had uh last 0:12:08.080 --> 0:12:10.200 year was about at two forty three with an average 0:12:10.280 --> 0:12:12.320 Haskin's bed at two twenty six. But as you said, 0:12:12.840 --> 0:12:16.040 extremely unlucky was Marcello Zuna last year that could go 0:12:16.120 --> 0:12:19.360 up o b P a little bit less than um 0:12:19.480 --> 0:12:21.720 then Reese Hoskins last season. If you look at the 0:12:21.760 --> 0:12:25.040 hard hit percentage. So I'll pull up now forty percent 0:12:25.160 --> 0:12:29.360 or hit percentage last year, four more selos percentage. He 0:12:29.400 --> 0:12:31.640 was really good last year. If he gets a little 0:12:31.640 --> 0:12:33.800 bit luckier, in a little bit better of a lineup 0:12:34.160 --> 0:12:36.720 or solos, you know, just steal where he's going at 0:12:36.800 --> 0:12:40.040 pick one O eight at the moment. Now, I want 0:12:40.040 --> 0:12:41.280 to get some Max freem. I don't want to do 0:12:41.280 --> 0:12:42.920 that yet because I want to talk about this line 0:12:43.000 --> 0:12:45.320 up for the Braves. Wish you love. I've run it 0:12:45.360 --> 0:12:46.920 up last week, but now that they're talking about the 0:12:46.920 --> 0:12:49.760 Braves and it's worth talking about again. Geraldakunia the number 0:12:49.800 --> 0:12:53.240 one overall pick. I said yes last week, and then 0:12:53.280 --> 0:12:55.439 I'm going to stand by that. And it's because of 0:12:55.520 --> 0:12:59.080 the stolen basis Mike Trout. You know, eleven solen bases 0:12:59.160 --> 0:13:01.640 last year. He's been a little banged up the past 0:13:01.679 --> 0:13:03.960 couple of seasons as well. Ronald Lacuna in his first 0:13:04.000 --> 0:13:06.680 full season with the Atlanta Braves, he goes thirty thirty. 0:13:07.040 --> 0:13:09.280 Maybe the stolen basis come back a little bit, but 0:13:09.360 --> 0:13:11.760 I think he's going to come close to that. Trout's 0:13:11.760 --> 0:13:14.120 gonna give you a better batting average, but the stolen 0:13:14.160 --> 0:13:16.880 bases are so so so hard to come by. It's close, 0:13:16.880 --> 0:13:19.160 you're splitting hairs. But give me Ronald D. CuNi over 0:13:19.160 --> 0:13:22.160 my Trout. It's crazy, It's absolutely crazy, And I get it, man, 0:13:23.120 --> 0:13:25.559 like he's got a better shot doing it's It seems 0:13:25.600 --> 0:13:27.520 to be Ronald Kunio is so much more comfortable in 0:13:27.520 --> 0:13:29.960 that leadoff spot than anywhere else. And I think that 0:13:30.000 --> 0:13:34.080 a Kunia, certainly in the conversation like Trout, is this 0:13:34.200 --> 0:13:36.400 the year he goes too? Not for me? I was 0:13:36.520 --> 0:13:39.960 thinking number one, probably Joe Madden reinfigorates him a little bit? 0:13:40.480 --> 0:13:43.720 Is that what's gonna happen here? Greg? Why not? Oh? Man? 0:13:43.880 --> 0:13:46.920 So all right, I mean you're not taking yellows over 0:13:46.920 --> 0:13:48.760 Trout either, right, Like that would just be what's the 0:13:48.800 --> 0:13:51.040 point of that? Yellow says the knee injury as well, 0:13:51.320 --> 0:13:53.800 So I would go Trout trying to Kunia clearly, Uh, 0:13:53.880 --> 0:13:58.640 your first too. Now. I wanted to stay with the 0:13:58.720 --> 0:14:01.240 Raves lineup because in name that, and again I haven't 0:14:01.840 --> 0:14:03.760 you all over my research yet here, but I think 0:14:03.840 --> 0:14:06.320 I really wanted to know about Frankie. It was Austin 0:14:06.400 --> 0:14:08.599 Riley when he got called up last year. He was 0:14:08.640 --> 0:14:10.600 a big deal, Like, oh my god, Austin Riley's coming out. 0:14:10.600 --> 0:14:12.840 We've been waiting, We've been waiting. We're winning. Got off 0:14:12.880 --> 0:14:15.880 to a fast start and then he went back down. 0:14:16.280 --> 0:14:18.319 He is he going to play every day? He's a 0:14:18.320 --> 0:14:21.080 starting third basement now with Josh Donaldson out, He's a 0:14:21.160 --> 0:14:23.800 d V currently in the NFBC. He's two seventy eight. 0:14:24.200 --> 0:14:27.040 That's costing me nothing. He's going around Brendan McKay, Garrett Richards, 0:14:27.520 --> 0:14:31.560 Phil Myers, and Dylan Bundy. So it's costing you nothing. 0:14:31.760 --> 0:14:34.040 Did you have Austin Riley? Does you have a job 0:14:34.960 --> 0:14:38.240 as of now? I know you love Ross Resource, I 0:14:38.280 --> 0:14:42.640 think use But they have Johan Camargo as he's starting 0:14:42.680 --> 0:14:44.560 third basement of the Atlanta Braves right now. Then Johan 0:14:44.600 --> 0:14:46.880 Camargo is gonna stand in the way of Austin Riley. No, 0:14:46.960 --> 0:14:48.760 I don't think so either, right, I think you know, 0:14:48.800 --> 0:14:50.880 if Austin Riley plays well in the spring, I mean 0:14:50.920 --> 0:14:53.360 he had major deficiencies last year when he came up 0:14:53.400 --> 0:14:54.760 to the Major league. Love I mean, he took the 0:14:54.800 --> 0:14:56.640 league by storm here the first month he was here. 0:14:56.920 --> 0:15:00.600 He was great, mashing home runs, Butcher and the outfield 0:15:00.960 --> 0:15:03.520 his natural position is third base, which you know, maybe 0:15:03.560 --> 0:15:05.600 that don't even help him at the dish. We've talked 0:15:05.600 --> 0:15:07.360 about that before, where you know, when guys have to 0:15:07.440 --> 0:15:10.680 change their position play the outfield. With Reese Hoskins as well, 0:15:10.760 --> 0:15:13.960 right when he had to play the outfield, Um, we 0:15:13.960 --> 0:15:16.360 saw the uh. We saw the production come down for 0:15:16.400 --> 0:15:19.760 Reese Hoskins. So just where two years old, there was 0:15:19.760 --> 0:15:23.120 a chance Austin Riley breaks camp as a starting third 0:15:23.120 --> 0:15:26.600 baseman for the Atlanta Braves. It wouldn't surprise me if 0:15:26.600 --> 0:15:29.680 he spends the first month or so down while he 0:15:29.720 --> 0:15:32.440 works on his defense. If he's playing well in the spring, 0:15:32.480 --> 0:15:34.160 then I think he will have a shot. It also 0:15:34.200 --> 0:15:40.480 wouldn't surprise me if he look you want to find 0:15:40.560 --> 0:15:43.600 lottery tickets late that have upside, especially power potential. This 0:15:43.720 --> 0:15:45.480 is someone that can hit over thirty home runs if 0:15:45.520 --> 0:15:47.560 he plays every single day in a really good Atlanta 0:15:47.600 --> 0:15:55.280 Braves lineup. Well, So he played eighty games last years you, um, 0:15:55.400 --> 0:15:59.400 I'm gonna say he hit eighteen home runs last year? 0:15:59.680 --> 0:16:02.040 Have an I haven't done any Austin Riley research yet, 0:16:02.080 --> 0:16:04.880 So he had eat eating homewards last year in eighty games. 0:16:04.920 --> 0:16:08.640 Pretty good. The problem, of course, is at the plate 0:16:08.720 --> 0:16:11.280 with the discipline. He only walked five percent of the 0:16:11.320 --> 0:16:13.320 time in the Major League after walking ten percent of 0:16:13.320 --> 0:16:15.080 the time in Triple AT to start off the year. 0:16:15.080 --> 0:16:17.680 Over forty games, the strikeout percentage went way up from 0:16:17.720 --> 0:16:20.400 triple AT to the major strikeout rate in Triple A 0:16:20.840 --> 0:16:24.320 over thirty six percent in the majors, And that obviously 0:16:24.320 --> 0:16:26.400 affect that his average was just twenty six and his 0:16:26.440 --> 0:16:28.640 on base percentage was terrible given that he didn't walk 0:16:28.840 --> 0:16:31.640 at to seventy nine. Is there any way to tell 0:16:31.720 --> 0:16:34.280 Frank Ken Austin Riley improves those areas you look at 0:16:34.280 --> 0:16:35.800 the hard hit percentage was good, forty two and a 0:16:35.840 --> 0:16:39.880 half percent. That's good. Line drivers at that's good too. 0:16:39.920 --> 0:16:42.400 When he made contact the ball went far. He just 0:16:42.440 --> 0:16:44.680 didn't make contact enough. Is there a way? And I'm 0:16:44.720 --> 0:16:47.120 sure you're looking at swinging strike percentage and that kind 0:16:47.160 --> 0:16:49.040 of stuff to say, like, hey, if he's just a 0:16:49.080 --> 0:16:50.840 little bit more patient and he lets the ball has 0:16:50.880 --> 0:16:52.800 come to him and he isn't swinging everything because his 0:16:53.240 --> 0:16:55.760 chase rate was over forty one percent, for god's sake, 0:16:57.080 --> 0:16:58.960 why can't he be a lot better? Right? Like, no, 0:16:59.080 --> 0:17:01.440 the quality of contact is great, it's just how often 0:17:01.480 --> 0:17:03.400 does he make contact? That's what it comes down to. 0:17:03.520 --> 0:17:06.560 I think in a sophomore year. This is someone who, 0:17:06.600 --> 0:17:08.560 you know, last year at Triple A was striking out 0:17:08.600 --> 0:17:11.520 twenty percent of the time. You look at every other season, however, 0:17:11.600 --> 0:17:14.199 you know eighteen and the years before that. You know 0:17:14.240 --> 0:17:18.600 he did hover around twenty percent the years before that. 0:17:18.760 --> 0:17:21.359 So look, he cut down his strikeouts at Triple A 0:17:21.520 --> 0:17:23.800 last year, which helped him, you know, bring his batting 0:17:23.840 --> 0:17:25.560 average up. He's got to do that at the major 0:17:25.640 --> 0:17:28.040 league level. He's got to become better in terms of 0:17:28.040 --> 0:17:30.640 plate discipline. A lot of young players who come up 0:17:31.040 --> 0:17:33.400 have that issue. So you're right, when he makes contact. 0:17:33.600 --> 0:17:37.360 His quality of contact is no joke over hard hit rate. 0:17:37.720 --> 0:17:41.159 H he has the percent flyball that's maybe even a 0:17:41.200 --> 0:17:43.639 little bit too high as well. Maybe he's swinging for 0:17:43.680 --> 0:17:45.960 the fences too much. But if he can just cut 0:17:45.960 --> 0:17:50.119 down that strikeout right to his batting average goes up 0:17:50.160 --> 0:17:53.760 to fifty right there. First name of the sleeper list, 0:17:53.840 --> 0:17:56.919 you're in fair enough can knock you on that one. 0:17:56.960 --> 0:17:59.399 We'll come back. We'll hit on the braves pitching, and 0:17:59.480 --> 0:18:01.960 he just took Max Freed. He likes Mike Folton Evitch 0:18:02.000 --> 0:18:03.800 as well.

He's a guy I like coming out 0:19:29.000 --> 0:19:31.520 spring training last year because I believe it was like 0:19:31.520 --> 0:19:33.160 Freddie Freeman was like, this guy is the best picture 0:19:33.160 --> 0:19:35.639 we have and well for a lot of the season, 0:19:35.720 --> 0:19:39.120 eventually like it. Max Freed going one forty right now 0:19:39.400 --> 0:19:41.920 over on the nfb CE. What do you like about 0:19:41.920 --> 0:19:47.160 Max Freed? Well, what I like about Max Freed was that, um, 0:19:47.200 --> 0:19:49.680 the strikeouts were great. The strikeout minus walk cread. I mean, 0:19:49.720 --> 0:19:53.160 this guy nine over nine case per nine, two point 0:19:53.200 --> 0:19:56.080 five walks for nine last year, four point zero two 0:19:56.119 --> 0:19:58.399 year A he was unlucky three point three two x 0:19:58.400 --> 0:20:00.920 fip greg in his first full season over a hundred 0:20:00.960 --> 0:20:03.439 and sixty five innings pitch last year. He's still just 0:20:03.480 --> 0:20:06.000 twenty six years old. There's a lot to like here. 0:20:06.280 --> 0:20:09.600 He's basically fastball, curveball. But his curveball is nasty. It's 0:20:09.640 --> 0:20:13.200 one of the best in the league already. I would 0:20:13.240 --> 0:20:16.840 say that pretty confidently, right, So he's got some he's 0:20:16.880 --> 0:20:20.040 got the swing and miss curveball, he's got a mid 0:20:20.200 --> 0:20:23.919 nineties fastball, and he had he got enough under his 0:20:23.960 --> 0:20:26.720 belt last year. You know, he had seventeen wins a 0:20:26.760 --> 0:20:29.640 hundred and sixty five point two endings pitch. So with 0:20:29.760 --> 0:20:32.480 that team's offense, should get some wins as well. The 0:20:32.520 --> 0:20:34.880 problem is he's moving up the draft board right now. 0:20:35.280 --> 0:20:39.720
