He is Frank Standfell. 0:01:05.319 --> 0:01:09.679 I am Greg Susman's having a happy Monday to you. 0:01:10.319 --> 0:01:14.200 Here to talk about the deepest position in fantasy baseball today, 0:01:14.560 --> 0:01:16.640 the third base position. Yes, we are here to talk 0:01:16.720 --> 0:01:19.240 about the third base position. But before we do, I 0:01:19.319 --> 0:01:22.240 just leave. But I slept very well. It was tough 0:01:22.280 --> 0:01:23.640 to get out of bed. I don't know. I didn't 0:01:23.640 --> 0:01:27.559 stay up too late. Nothing crazy last night. Just man 0:01:27.760 --> 0:01:29.959 alarm went off today. It was tough getting out of bed. 0:01:30.440 --> 0:01:32.720 How about you something well? I was I was up 0:01:32.760 --> 0:01:35.240 thinking about work pretty early and I was like very 0:01:35.319 --> 0:01:37.800 up before my alarm went off. Taking with the third 0:01:37.840 --> 0:01:40.559 base ranks early in the morning. Greg, No, not really, 0:01:40.600 --> 0:01:42.000 I was just thinking about the whole stuff I had 0:01:42.040 --> 0:01:44.000 to do before anyone was like, oh, man, I gotta 0:01:44.040 --> 0:01:47.360 do my third base ranks, right, So I you know, 0:01:47.400 --> 0:01:50.360 I just I was just often about very early. I 0:01:50.400 --> 0:01:54.120 was in College Park, Maryland over the weekend. It was 0:01:54.160 --> 0:01:57.600 cool being back. Nostalgic. Not so cool with the result, 0:01:58.200 --> 0:02:01.320 but cool being back. Oh does that mean Maryland actually played? 0:02:01.360 --> 0:02:02.840 Is that why you were there? You went to a game? Yes? 0:02:03.160 --> 0:02:07.440 What happened? Who they face? Oh? College game Day? Was there? 0:02:07.640 --> 0:02:11.720 What happened? They lost? They were very badly. The first 0:02:11.760 --> 0:02:13.680 time out, the under sixteen time out was the first 0:02:13.720 --> 0:02:18.200 time basketball. It would be down nine nothing. They wind 0:02:18.280 --> 0:02:21.400 up tying the game three Michigan State. They went on 0:02:21.440 --> 0:02:24.040 a seven point run. Michigan stay good. Yeah there it 0:02:24.160 --> 0:02:28.400 was good. Um, Maryland, Maryland good. I didn't think so 0:02:28.880 --> 0:02:31.400 that was wrong. Um. In the second half, they never 0:02:31.400 --> 0:02:35.440 got closer than nine any point, and you were there 0:02:35.440 --> 0:02:37.040 to watch it all in person. It was very bad. 0:02:37.280 --> 0:02:39.040 I'm sorry. Greg. Well, outside of that, that was the 0:02:39.040 --> 0:02:41.560 rest of your weekend. It was awesome because after the game, 0:02:41.880 --> 0:02:44.239 we got like two beers and a mixed drink. It 0:02:44.360 --> 0:02:46.680 was like a fifteen dollars total, and I was like 0:02:46.919 --> 0:02:49.280 I love color. I haven't seen these prices since. How 0:02:49.320 --> 0:02:52.080 was it called? It was fantastic and you just you know. 0:02:52.080 --> 0:02:54.560 I'll tell you some off gap, but that's fine. Come on, 0:02:54.680 --> 0:02:56.640 we got a third base ranks. I want some updates, 0:02:56.840 --> 0:02:59.480 some pictures that were worried about Blake Snell for all that. 0:03:00.000 --> 0:03:12.000 Alex Pisano with your news updab I am Alex Passano 0:03:12.080 --> 0:03:15.079 with your sport grid news update here on the fantasy 0:03:15.200 --> 0:03:18.400 bfs in the NFL, that Jaguars will use their franchise 0:03:18.480 --> 0:03:21.680 tag on defensive end yannick In Gotuay leads. Sources told 0:03:21.840 --> 0:03:24.360 ESPNS Adam Schefter the tag will allow them to trade 0:03:24.400 --> 0:03:27.160 him if that's what they decide on or forced to do. 0:03:27.400 --> 0:03:29.960 Fun facts for you, Greggy uh In Gotay is a 0:03:30.040 --> 0:03:33.320 Maryland Terrapin graduate. There you go, right there. In Gottway 0:03:33.320 --> 0:03:36.280 tweeted on Monday morning that his time in Jacksonville is over. 0:03:36.320 --> 0:03:38.920 Here's a quick quote from the tweet. The Jaguars are 0:03:38.960 --> 0:03:40.960 aware I no longer have interests in signing a long 0:03:41.080 --> 0:03:44.840 term contract in Jacksonville. The franchise tag carriage an approximate 0:03:44.880 --> 0:03:49.520 salary of nineteen point three million dollars in in the NBA. 0:03:49.560 --> 0:03:51.839 The New York Knicks have officially named former player agent 0:03:51.920 --> 0:03:55.160 Leon Rose and as their new president. In a letter 0:03:55.200 --> 0:03:57.640 to the team's fans, Rose said that he will support 0:03:57.680 --> 0:04:00.480 interim coach Mike Miller and his staff. I want to 0:04:00.480 --> 0:04:02.600 thank Mike. This is a quote from Leon Rose. I 0:04:02.640 --> 0:04:05.760 want to thank Mike for his continued leadership and professionalism 0:04:05.840 --> 0:04:08.640 during this period. While noting that the Knicks have young talent, 0:04:08.840 --> 0:04:12.080 Rose continued, nothing about this is easy or quick, so 0:04:12.160 --> 0:04:16.120 I ask you for your continued patients. This was a 0:04:16.160 --> 0:04:20.080 part one of three part tweet from Rose to the 0:04:20.160 --> 0:04:22.359 Knicks fans. Rose has been one of the top agents 0:04:22.360 --> 0:04:26.400 in basketball for decades, with clients including Joel Embid, Chris Paul, 0:04:26.480 --> 0:04:30.000 Devin Booker, and Kyle Kuzma, and in Major League Baseball, 0:04:30.000 --> 0:04:33.000 Guys Randing Nationallygue MVP. Cody Bellinger was a late scratch 0:04:33.200 --> 0:04:36.200 in the Dodgers spring training lineup on Monday with side discomfort. 0:04:36.360 --> 0:04:39.279 He took part in Albert Pooh Holes, his annual charity event, 0:04:39.480 --> 0:04:43.000 held in Scottsdale, Arizona, on Sunday, but Dodgers manager Dave 0:04:43.120 --> 0:04:45.520 Roberts said Monday he did not believe Bellinger's side sword 0:04:45.520 --> 0:04:47.800 and this had anything to do with the golf swings. 0:04:47.920 --> 0:04:50.400 He said he expects Bellinger to return this week. He 0:04:50.440 --> 0:04:53.239 got a full slate of NBA, NHL, and college hoops tonight. 0:04:53.360 --> 0:04:55.480 Some games you want to look at the Portland Trailblazers 0:04:55.560 --> 0:04:58.479 visiting the Orlando Magic. Magic your seven point favorites. The 0:04:58.520 --> 0:05:01.560 total two one. Also, the Milwaukee Bucks take on the 0:05:01.600 --> 0:05:03.880 Miami Heat. Bucks are your four and a half point favorites. 0:05:03.920 --> 0:05:07.200 The total is two. I'm Alex Passano and this has 0:05:07.240 --> 0:05:09.919 been your sports grid news update. Now back to the 0:05:09.920 --> 0:05:14.200 Fantasy b FF's all right back here. B f f's 0:05:14.520 --> 0:05:19.159 Frank Greg and job Alex uh Frankie Blake Snell over 0:05:19.200 --> 0:05:22.880 the weekend and a quarter zone shot in his elbow 0:05:23.920 --> 0:05:27.560 doesn't seem good. That seems terrible. He said. He was 0:05:27.600 --> 0:05:30.200 fine pitching even afterwards, get a little more soreness, so 0:05:30.200 --> 0:05:31.880 he wanted to be cautious and he's not sure if 0:05:31.880 --> 0:05:35.640 he'll be ready for opening day. He is not going 0:05:35.680 --> 0:05:37.279 to be ready for opening day. Greg, and this is 0:05:37.320 --> 0:05:39.719 one of your keepers. I take it ready, it is, Frank. 0:05:42.120 --> 0:05:45.720 So we did get an update earlier today. Noon Raise 0:05:45.800 --> 0:05:49.000 manager Kevin Cass said Monday that Blake Snell it's quote 0:05:49.000 --> 0:05:52.960 feeling good and remains on track to play catch on Tuesday. 0:05:53.040 --> 0:05:55.680 So obviously something to monitor here when it comes to 0:05:55.720 --> 0:05:58.840 Blake's now. And again just another picture that is going 0:05:58.880 --> 0:06:00.839 to fall down draft boards right now due to injury. 0:06:00.880 --> 0:06:04.919 Luis Savourno after the year, Chris Sale with the flu 0:06:05.120 --> 0:06:07.560 is obviously falling down draft boards, going to start the 0:06:07.640 --> 0:06:10.480 year on the I L Mike Clevinger. Uh, We've actually 0:06:10.520 --> 0:06:13.320 seen some positive reports from cleve I saw just last week. 0:06:13.360 --> 0:06:15.520 I mean he was ramping up his throwing activity. Guy 0:06:15.560 --> 0:06:17.680 looks like he's ready to pitch right now. Hopefully they 0:06:17.680 --> 0:06:20.040 don't push him too quickly. But some good news there 0:06:20.040 --> 0:06:22.440 out of Clevinger. And then obviously everything that's going on 0:06:22.480 --> 0:06:24.560 with Blake Snow Greig gets a Cornzon shot in his 0:06:24.680 --> 0:06:28.200 left elbow, his throwing arm, the same elbow where he 0:06:28.279 --> 0:06:31.920 had a clean up last year mid season. Man, this 0:06:32.640 --> 0:06:35.120 this is a scary situation. Look, I think if you're 0:06:35.160 --> 0:06:37.040 going into perhaps you're gonna get him a bit of 0:06:37.080 --> 0:06:39.279 a value. Same thing when it comes to auctions. I 0:06:39.279 --> 0:06:41.839 think he went for like eighteen dollars in labor yesterday 0:06:41.839 --> 0:06:45.480 in the mixed the twelve team mixed auction yesterday, um, 0:06:45.520 --> 0:06:47.880 which obviously is much lower than he would have gone 0:06:47.920 --> 0:06:51.960 for normally. But um, there's a there's risk, there's there's 0:06:52.000 --> 0:06:54.320 obviously a big reward, but I would say right now 0:06:54.600 --> 0:06:57.480 the uh, the risk outweighs the reward in my opinion 0:06:57.560 --> 0:06:59.280 when it comes to Blake Snow. Yeah, you know, I 0:06:59.600 --> 0:07:01.719 get very nervous where it comes to these picture injuries 0:07:01.720 --> 0:07:04.039 and they normally more often than not come back to 0:07:04.080 --> 0:07:06.960 bite you in the ass and other times like you're fine, 0:07:07.560 --> 0:07:11.400 but what reserving shot ready like this would be a 0:07:11.440 --> 0:07:13.760 fifteen d fifteen a d Elston he had he and 0:07:13.880 --> 0:07:17.120 you have to work his way back up. It's really 0:07:17.160 --> 0:07:21.040 really scary as the Blake Snell Uh, as a Blake 0:07:21.080 --> 0:07:24.080 Snell owner here, do you hear out what to do? 0:07:24.120 --> 0:07:27.400 I wouldn't pay eighteen dollars from I couldn't. Just to 0:07:27.520 --> 0:07:30.840 put that in perspective, Blake Snell went for eighteen dollars 0:07:30.960 --> 0:07:34.480 yesterday and then trying to see someone else who went 0:07:34.520 --> 0:07:37.280 for a simone price like Clevinger went for seventeen, Granky 0:07:37.360 --> 0:07:40.440 went for nineteen, so her Shaw twenty. So at an 0:07:40.440 --> 0:07:44.000 eighteen dollar price tag, that's someone who based on these 0:07:44.000 --> 0:07:46.960 other prices is like a fourth, fifth round starting pitcher. 0:07:47.760 --> 0:07:49.760 Still might be too much risk to take on there 0:07:49.760 --> 0:07:51.320 when it comes to Blake's Now, there was more going 0:07:51.360 --> 0:07:54.520 on of course last night. Is there more going around 0:07:54.560 --> 0:07:57.679 the last weekend in regards to fantasy baseball? Before we continue, 0:07:57.800 --> 0:08:00.720 let's talk a little fantasy basketball for this evening. For Yeah, 0:08:00.720 --> 0:08:03.120 and I know earlier today you met up with not 0:08:03.200 --> 0:08:05.360 met up with you, you did the tip drill with 0:08:05.440 --> 0:08:08.000 Drew dig Meyer of Deli Rodo dot com. And obviously 0:08:08.080 --> 0:08:11.440 Drew and those guys have been phenomenal all season long 0:08:11.480 --> 0:08:14.000 and especially recently when it comes to the NBA tip draw. 0:08:14.040 --> 0:08:15.640 I know you had a chance to speak to him 0:08:15.640 --> 0:08:18.160 about who he's targeting at the center position tonight. Let's 0:08:18.160 --> 0:08:30.640 take a look at that on tonight's NBA dfeste. Let's 0:08:30.640 --> 0:08:32.400 move over to the center here. And this one another 0:08:32.440 --> 0:08:35.520 obvious one for us as Incleuveland Tristan Thompson. He's not 0:08:35.559 --> 0:08:39.199 expected to play, which means increased playing time for Andre 0:08:39.320 --> 0:08:41.480 Drummond tonight. The top matchup though it gets ready to 0:08:41.480 --> 0:08:44.440 go there, Yeah, that's the big thing with Andrea Drummond. Now, 0:08:44.480 --> 0:08:45.920 you know the press texts dipped all the way down 0:08:45.960 --> 0:08:48.440 to seventy. And that's in large part because when you 0:08:48.480 --> 0:08:51.280 have Tristan Thompson playing behind you, they have to regulate 0:08:51.360 --> 0:08:53.920 Andre Drummond's minutes more than they did in Detroit. You know, 0:08:53.920 --> 0:08:56.760 he's playing kind of low thirties, uh sometimes, you know, 0:08:56.800 --> 0:08:58.800 struggling to get up at the thirty minutes because Tris 0:08:58.880 --> 0:09:01.439 and Thompson behind him was it needs to play eighteen 0:09:01.480 --> 0:09:03.800 to twenty five minutes on each and every night. So 0:09:03.880 --> 0:09:06.520 you remove Tristan Thompson from that equation, fins out that 0:09:06.559 --> 0:09:08.200 front court for the Calves a little bit and gives 0:09:08.200 --> 0:09:10.360 that minutes upside Andre Drummond to get back into the 0:09:10.360 --> 0:09:13.679 thirty thirty six range. He's always handled his own pretty 0:09:13.679 --> 0:09:15.800 well against Rudy Gobert. We think he'll be able to 0:09:15.840 --> 0:09:18.720 do so tonight. And the seventy price tag is miles 0:09:18.800 --> 0:09:20.680 away from the price tags you were paying for Andre 0:09:20.760 --> 0:09:23.000 Drummond in Detroit earlier in the season, so we think 0:09:23.000 --> 0:09:29.400 he's severely under priced here. Bff's there, Andre Jonman, the 0:09:29.440 --> 0:09:31.440 guy you don't want to get in your lab tonight. 0:09:31.440 --> 0:09:34.040 Without Tristan Thompson expected to play for Cleveland rank yeah, 0:09:34.080 --> 0:09:35.800 I think that makes a lot of sense obviously what 0:09:35.880 --> 0:09:38.599 Drew dick Meyer said about Tristan Thompson. Since German was 0:09:38.600 --> 0:09:41.439 traded over to the Cleveland Cavs obviously had to split 0:09:41.480 --> 0:09:43.240 some time there, which are just in Thompson still playing 0:09:43.240 --> 0:09:47.160 around twenty five minutes to night with him expected out tonight, 0:09:47.160 --> 0:09:49.920 we should expect Andre Drummond to get back into the 0:09:50.000 --> 0:09:53.400 thirties in minutes and obviously had a suppressed price tag. 0:09:53.679 --> 0:09:55.400 He's someone that you should be building your lineups around, 0:09:55.440 --> 0:09:57.600 especially at the center position. All right, So heading back 0:09:57.640 --> 0:10:00.400 to fantasy baseball, though, Frank, I was just so anxious 0:10:00.400 --> 0:10:02.240 and answy to talk to you about publicks. Now, what 0:10:02.280 --> 0:10:04.319 else did I miss over the weekend about players gonna 0:10:04.400 --> 0:10:08.760 hurt like Aaron Judge. Yeah, Aaron Judge on Friday apparently 0:10:08.840 --> 0:10:12.320 extend some discomfort again while swinging, and I know that 0:10:12.360 --> 0:10:14.040 he was going to undergo some test today. I haven't 0:10:14.040 --> 0:10:16.720 seen any results or anything mentioned about Aaron Judge so far. 0:10:16.880 --> 0:10:18.440 We can check that out during the break and see 0:10:18.440 --> 0:10:21.480 if anything. There's nothing on Aaron Judge. All right, so 0:10:21.520 --> 0:10:23.360 we'll have to pay attention and to see I know 0:10:23.440 --> 0:10:25.640 that he is someone who's going for cheaper prices right 0:10:25.640 --> 0:10:28.440 now at auctions and slipping non draft boards because again 0:10:29.240 --> 0:10:31.360 his dealt with injuries in the past, had the oblique 0:10:31.440 --> 0:10:34.120 last year, has the shoulder right now, had surgery on 0:10:34.160 --> 0:10:36.840 the other shoulder a couple of years ago. You don't 0:10:36.840 --> 0:10:38.440 know if he's going to be ready for opening day. 0:10:38.480 --> 0:10:40.800 They still they keep saying that there's a chance that 0:10:40.840 --> 0:10:43.040 he could be ready for opening Day, but obviously that's 0:10:43.040 --> 0:10:44.680 all up in the air right now. When it comes 0:10:44.679 --> 0:10:47.360 to Aaron Judge and another one, Greig, where if he's 0:10:47.360 --> 0:10:49.400 good to go by opening day, or even if he 0:10:49.440 --> 0:10:51.720 misses the first week or so, you're gonna get him 0:10:51.720 --> 0:10:54.319 at a massive discount when it comes to Fantasy baseball. 0:10:54.360 --> 0:10:57.280 So he was typically someone I wasn't targeting because he 0:10:57.320 --> 0:10:58.920 was still a second third round pick and I didn't 0:10:58.920 --> 0:11:01.400 really like that price. Say if he starts falling into 0:11:01.400 --> 0:11:04.520 the four fifth round and you know you're getting him 0:11:04.520 --> 0:11:06.719 at that value, then maybe there's a chance that I 0:11:06.760 --> 0:11:08.960 do jump in on him right at that cost. We 0:11:09.000 --> 0:11:11.200 talked to last week we're doing our outfielders. How you 0:11:11.200 --> 0:11:13.840 commented how high I have Aaron Judge, and I said, 0:11:13.920 --> 0:11:17.520 if your mains hurt, it all changes. It's scary right now, 0:11:17.760 --> 0:11:20.120 and I don't see how I can keep him where 0:11:20.160 --> 0:11:24.120 I have them, which was outfielder there number ten, you're 0:11:24.120 --> 0:11:26.120 not driving. Here's the top swelve outfielder right now, there's 0:11:26.120 --> 0:11:28.080 no there's no way. I'll have to figure out where 0:11:28.080 --> 0:11:29.760 I'm going to drop him. I don't know where that's 0:11:30.160 --> 0:11:33.360 going to be quite yet, but it's probably gonna be 0:11:33.360 --> 0:11:36.760 closer to He has ten play that much. So over 0:11:36.800 --> 0:11:40.640 the weekend his a DP was thirty two, So it 0:11:40.679 --> 0:11:42.720 really hasn't fallen that far. I thought it would have, 0:11:42.800 --> 0:11:44.559 you know, dropped a little bit further than that. But 0:11:45.040 --> 0:11:48.320 those are from drafts one from Friday through yesterday, and 0:11:48.400 --> 0:11:50.959 his a DP is at thirty two, so still you know, 0:11:51.120 --> 0:11:53.520 solid third round pick. When it comes to Fantasy Baseball, 0:11:54.120 --> 0:11:58.559 that seems like too big of a price action you 0:11:58.559 --> 0:12:01.440 would spend. H don't fifteen bucks? Can we get him 0:12:01.440 --> 0:12:09.800 in fifteen bucks? Probably? Not? Alright? Alright? Where I want 0:12:09.840 --> 0:12:12.480 to be the next Daily Fantasy Millionaire.

I 0:12:56.200 --> 0:12:59.240 did see that. I'm so sorry and I felt terrible 0:12:59.320 --> 0:13:04.040 because I woke up yesterday in a little breakfast prep myself, 0:13:04.080 --> 0:13:07.840 got everything ready to watch Joe Musgrove against the Toronto 0:13:07.880 --> 0:13:13.079 Blue Perfect Sundown Pirates broadcast is talking about how Joe 0:13:13.120 --> 0:13:16.760 Musgrove is hitting nine miles per hour consistently on the gun. 0:13:17.240 --> 0:13:19.679 The fastball Vello was up late last year. That's when 0:13:19.679 --> 0:13:22.840 he started performing well. The breaking pitches look great. And then, 0:13:22.880 --> 0:13:26.160 of course, late last night on a Sunday evening, Greg, 0:13:26.360 --> 0:13:29.719 we got the news Joe Musgrove is dealing with shoulder discomfort. 0:13:30.679 --> 0:13:33.360 So do with that what you will. I mean, most 0:13:33.360 --> 0:13:35.680 people he's more nothing more than a back end rotation 0:13:35.720 --> 0:13:38.400 piece anyway, your SP five, R s P six, maybe 0:13:38.440 --> 0:13:40.080 even if you're playing a twelve team league, he's one 0:13:40.080 --> 0:13:43.199 of your bench starting pitchers. But somebody I was targeting 0:13:43.200 --> 0:13:46.160 once again is Joe Musgrove. Let's see what comes out 0:13:46.160 --> 0:13:49.679 of this, Greig. I'm sorry, Frankie, right, okay, all Rlet's 0:13:49.679 --> 0:13:52.200 move over our third DAS rankings. Frank And this is 0:13:52.240 --> 0:13:55.360 the first time this season we have a different player 0:13:55.880 --> 0:14:00.280 at number one. This is weird. This is years for 0:14:00.360 --> 0:14:03.000 me for a couple of reasons. Your number one overall 0:14:03.080 --> 0:14:07.679 third baseman, my number one here is Alex Bregman. Your 0:14:07.760 --> 0:14:11.080 number one third basement overall is Josie Ramirez. And this 0:14:11.240 --> 0:14:15.000 is weird for me because I am the Josie Ramirez guy. 0:14:15.320 --> 0:14:18.200 You know that about me. I've been on Josie Ramirez forever. 0:14:19.120 --> 0:14:21.440 And I'm also the guy that likes to ignore first 0:14:21.480 --> 0:14:24.520 half like they don't matter. He's just say, hey, the 0:14:24.560 --> 0:14:26.520 second half was great, Like who cares about the first half. 0:14:27.840 --> 0:14:34.080 I can't do that right now, because we saw how 0:14:34.160 --> 0:14:38.320 bad that Jose Ramirez can be. You yourself, as a 0:14:38.440 --> 0:14:42.760 Jose Ramirez owner, suffered through that first half. Where he 0:14:42.840 --> 0:14:46.000 batted under two hundred for most of the half. Still ran, 0:14:46.760 --> 0:14:52.040 but he couldn't fine, he couldn't hit a damn thing. Now, 0:14:52.080 --> 0:14:54.920 the second half was un freaking real, and he's one 0:14:54.920 --> 0:14:57.280 of the only players legitimately there's a chance to go 0:14:57.920 --> 0:15:01.080 if not forty forty, and you're getting him way later 0:15:01.120 --> 0:15:03.640 than you're getting Trout and yell at Nacunia, you know, 0:15:03.720 --> 0:15:10.680 and way later. But that slump was really disgusting, Frank 0:15:11.600 --> 0:15:15.480 and if he middles out somewhere, I'm going to rather 0:15:15.560 --> 0:15:20.440 have Alex Bregman. I feel safer drafting Alex Bregman that 0:15:20.640 --> 0:15:24.000 I do no one A Ronando because those start home 0:15:24.080 --> 0:15:27.200 road splits and Josier mirrors, because we know how bad 0:15:27.280 --> 0:15:30.240 that slump can be. Alex Bregman is not going to 0:15:30.360 --> 0:15:34.240 hit the depths that Jose Ramirez did. You're not getting 0:15:34.320 --> 0:15:37.680 stolen basis. I get that, and everything else you should 0:15:38.480 --> 0:15:41.800 better average. I like Alex Bregman more than I like 0:15:41.840 --> 0:15:44.400 the other two guys, which is, by the way, he 0:15:44.520 --> 0:15:47.120 is third in your poll right now through the top 0:15:47.160 --> 0:15:49.760 third basement. The first baseman you want to draft, it's 0:15:49.920 --> 0:15:52.640 Arnadano by far and away number one you have by far, 0:15:53.200 --> 0:15:56.680 then Jose Ramirez, then Alex Bregman. Alex Bregman is my 0:15:56.840 --> 0:15:58.880 number one overall third basement and I think some people 0:15:58.960 --> 0:16:01.400 might be scared off by the whole cheating scandal when 0:16:01.400 --> 0:16:06.760 it comes to you're not wrong, uh. Injury risk also 0:16:06.840 --> 0:16:08.880 going up with those hit by pitches, Greg. But I 0:16:08.880 --> 0:16:10.800 will preface this by saying, in a head to head 0:16:10.800 --> 0:16:13.080 points league, Alex Bregman should be the number one third 0:16:13.080 --> 0:16:15.240 baseman off the board. In fact, he should probably be 0:16:15.520 --> 0:16:17.880 a top ten pick overall, maybe even higher than that. 0:16:17.920 --> 0:16:19.800 He was the number one hitter in head to head 0:16:19.800 --> 0:16:22.400 points leagues last year. That was Alex Bregman. And I 0:16:22.440 --> 0:16:24.360 really do like no Erronado as well. I think you 0:16:24.400 --> 0:16:26.560 can make the argument for any of these three third 0:16:26.560 --> 0:16:29.000 baseman to be the number one third baseman this year, 0:16:29.160 --> 0:16:33.200 Greg Nolan. Erronado's average offensive line over the past five 0:16:33.240 --> 0:16:37.680 seasons three d batting average, forty home runs, one and 0:16:37.680 --> 0:16:41.360 four runs scored, one and twenty four ribbies and three 0:16:41.360 --> 0:16:44.840 stolen bases. He is as elite of a four category 0:16:44.840 --> 0:16:47.320 contributor as you can find. Of course, there is risk 0:16:47.440 --> 0:16:50.280 that he could be traded away from Colorado, which would 0:16:50.280 --> 0:16:52.840 affect his overall production because his home road splits, as 0:16:52.840 --> 0:16:55.840 Greg mentioned, are very stark. He's much better in coors Field, 0:16:56.120 --> 0:16:58.160 like most hitters who played for the Rockies, So how 0:16:58.200 --> 0:16:59.680 you have to keep that in mind. As of now, 0:16:59.720 --> 0:17:01.640 it looks like Nolan Arronado is going to stay put 0:17:01.680 --> 0:17:05.119 with the Colorado Rockies and Alex Bregman, the guy just 0:17:05.160 --> 0:17:07.000 continues to get better and better. Say what you want 0:17:07.000 --> 0:17:08.960 about him, whether it's cheating related or not. I guess 0:17:08.960 --> 0:17:11.800 we're gonna find out this upcoming season. But look in 0:17:11.840 --> 0:17:16.320 two thousand, eighteen eighties sixty homers up over a hundred, runs, 0:17:16.520 --> 0:17:20.520 over a hundred Ribbies, ten Stone bass p s. Last year, 0:17:20.560 --> 0:17:27.960 Greg ops over a thousand and twenty two runs, hundred 0:17:28.000 --> 0:17:30.320 and twelve r b I's five steals and stole basis 0:17:30.359 --> 0:17:31.600 are coming down. I don't know if you're gonna get 0:17:31.640 --> 0:17:35.160 many steals out of Bregman anymore. UM and Craig Miss 0:17:35.240 --> 0:17:37.240 actually spoke with him on Fantasy Supports today. We had 0:17:37.240 --> 0:17:39.560 an interview with Alex Bregman and said he's focused on 0:17:39.600 --> 0:17:41.960 getting off to a quicker start because the past couple 0:17:41.960 --> 0:17:43.760 of seasons he really gets off to a slow start. 0:17:43.960 --> 0:17:47.200 Had absolutely ridiculous second half last year with an OPS 0:17:47.240 --> 0:17:49.960 over eleven hundred. If he gets off to a faster start, 0:17:50.240 --> 0:17:52.359 and of course there is an opportunity for Alex Bregman 0:17:52.440 --> 0:17:55.600 to have a even better season. Maybe it's three fifteen, 0:17:55.680 --> 0:17:58.320 three twenty with forty home runs and and the rest 0:17:58.320 --> 0:18:00.960 of those county sets. Greg from me, I do have 0:18:01.040 --> 0:18:04.440 Jose Aramirez first, because uh, these are for Roto rankings 0:18:04.440 --> 0:18:07.359 five by five, and I just think the ability to 0:18:07.400 --> 0:18:10.879 get thirty stolen bases what we saw out of him. 0:18:10.920 --> 0:18:13.680 You know, from July one on last year and only 0:18:13.960 --> 0:18:17.840 forty nine games, he finally figured out stop trying to 0:18:17.920 --> 0:18:20.399 lift the ball so much. Zira miror Is, You're a 0:18:20.480 --> 0:18:22.320 great hitter the way that you are. You don't need 0:18:22.359 --> 0:18:25.000 to change a single thing. In the first half, Greg, 0:18:25.240 --> 0:18:29.120 his flyball percentage was nearly fifty percent from July one 0:18:29.200 --> 0:18:32.439 on the fly ball percentage was he lowered it nine 0:18:32.480 --> 0:18:35.439 percentage points, started hitting more line drives, started pulling the 0:18:35.480 --> 0:18:37.720 ball more. That is what made Jose Aramire is a 0:18:37.720 --> 0:18:40.240 great player. A couple of seasons ago. You brought up 0:18:40.280 --> 0:18:43.840 that upside, Greg, someone that can flirt at type season. 0:18:44.080 --> 0:18:45.959 I don't know that we'll see the batting average well 0:18:45.960 --> 0:18:50.280 over three anymore. I think he can approach two eighty average, 0:18:50.280 --> 0:18:53.760 twenty five home runs, five stolen bases, really good county 0:18:53.800 --> 0:18:55.919 stacks in the middle of the Cleveland Indians lineup. This 0:18:55.960 --> 0:18:58.200 just comes down to preference. What categories do you want? 0:18:58.400 --> 0:19:00.280 If you trust that you can find stolen bases later 0:19:00.280 --> 0:19:02.920 on in the draft, then go ahead by all means, 0:19:03.000 --> 0:19:05.080 take a Bregman, take a Eranado. I don't have a 0:19:05.080 --> 0:19:07.320 problem with either of those guys. Greg I like building 0:19:07.320 --> 0:19:10.320 out my foundation early on with everything and holds your 0:19:10.359 --> 0:19:12.360 mirrors to me, is one of those players that will 0:19:12.400 --> 0:19:14.679 give you everything. I think he started to figure it 0:19:14.680 --> 0:19:16.840 out there in the second half, and it's frankly, it's 0:19:16.840 --> 0:19:18.560 something that I do trust going into this show. So 0:19:18.600 --> 0:19:20.640 I agree you figured it out in the second half. 0:19:20.680 --> 0:19:22.520 He was amazing. He talked about how he became the 0:19:22.560 --> 0:19:25.040 line drive hit her again. But it's really hard to 0:19:25.040 --> 0:19:27.600 get that first half out of my mind. Like it happened, 0:19:27.840 --> 0:19:30.040 and it wasn't like it happened five years ago. It 0:19:30.320 --> 0:19:35.320 just happened. That's really scary, Like to invest what you're 0:19:35.320 --> 0:19:37.520 gonna have to invest in here as your number one 0:19:37.600 --> 0:19:40.959 overall third basement. You want a little more safety than 0:19:40.960 --> 0:19:44.159 you're a safe player normally. Do you want that? I 0:19:44.200 --> 0:19:46.480 want the safe stolen basis? Greg, That's when it comes 0:19:46.480 --> 0:19:48.679 down to and you know, look, Greg, last year I 0:19:48.720 --> 0:19:51.040 was all over a position scarcity didn't really work out 0:19:51.040 --> 0:19:53.040 for me. I was pulling outfielders up the board. You know, 0:19:53.080 --> 0:19:55.000 maybe this year I'm going a little bit too far 0:19:55.040 --> 0:19:59.439 when it comes to the category scarcity, batting average, stolen basis. 0:19:59.560 --> 0:20:02.880 But I do trust what I saw from Josei miire 0:20:02.960 --> 0:20:05.639 is in that second half. And look, if you don't understand, 0:20:05.680 --> 0:20:07.600 you want someone a little bit more safe. Aeronado is 0:20:07.600 --> 0:20:09.399 the safet of the three. If you want safety, you 0:20:09.440 --> 0:20:11.840 think he's gonna remain in Colorado, then take non Arnado. 0:20:11.840 --> 0:20:13.720 There's no doubt about that. But there is a chance 0:20:14.000 --> 0:20:16.119 that Bregman continues to get even better. And if he 0:20:16.160 --> 0:20:18.239 does get better than what we saw last year, then 0:20:18.280 --> 0:20:20.360 that means he's going to be better than non Arronado. 0:20:20.680 --> 0:20:23.240 And if Josier Miirez is the player he was over 0:20:23.280 --> 0:20:26.560 those final forty nine games for an entire season again, 0:20:26.680 --> 0:20:28.920 then he's more than likely the number one third base 0:20:29.000 --> 0:20:31.560 and he's probably you know, thirty thirty player with a 0:20:31.600 --> 0:20:34.160 good batting average as well. Greg, those final forty nine 0:20:34.160 --> 0:20:36.840 games he had three one awesome. He was awesome, man, 0:20:37.359 --> 0:20:41.120 you know, I love him. I think it's more of 0:20:41.160 --> 0:20:43.439 a type of league format do you play in more 0:20:43.480 --> 0:20:45.120 than anything. I think if you play in Rhodo again, 0:20:45.160 --> 0:20:46.919
