1
00:00:05,480 --> 00:00:08,680
Speaker 1: What's up, friends, and welcome back to Fantasy Pros MLB.

2
00:00:08,800 --> 00:00:11,680
Speaker 1: This is the Fantasy Baseball Podcast. I am Chris Welsh,

3
00:00:11,760 --> 00:00:16,200
Speaker 1: joined by Joe Rico, and we are crazy people because

4
00:00:16,239 --> 00:00:17,840
Speaker 1: we're mock drafting in December.

5
00:00:17,880 --> 00:00:18,280
Speaker 2: That's right.

6
00:00:18,320 --> 00:00:22,479
Speaker 1: We are firing up the Fantasy Pros Draft simulator, the

7
00:00:22,560 --> 00:00:26,560
Speaker 1: MUDs as we call it, the multi User Draft Interface,

8
00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:29,280
Speaker 1: so muddy, we could call that right there. But we

9
00:00:29,360 --> 00:00:32,640
Speaker 1: are in the Fantasy Pros world and we are going

10
00:00:32,720 --> 00:00:35,159
Speaker 1: to be drafting with a couple of our great Fantasy

11
00:00:35,159 --> 00:00:38,600
Speaker 1: Pros people we work with. I completely forgot what the

12
00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:40,720
Speaker 1: term would be. Our co workers would be a good

13
00:00:40,760 --> 00:00:42,199
Speaker 1: one here. It's the end of December. It's a very

14
00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:44,040
Speaker 1: difficult time right now. A couple of our coworkers. We've

15
00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:45,879
Speaker 1: got Kelly Kirby, we got Mike Mayer in with us,

16
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:49,479
Speaker 1: and we've got the robots, yes, the ghost in the machine.

17
00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:51,440
Speaker 1: The Fantasy Pros is going to be drafting with us.

18
00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:55,040
Speaker 1: We are going to be going through a standard five

19
00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:58,440
Speaker 1: by five, no bench. We are going to do five outfielder.

20
00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:01,040
Speaker 1: We are going to do corner and middle. We're gonna

21
00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:03,200
Speaker 1: do a few relievers in there. We're gonna try to

22
00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:05,960
Speaker 1: give you a really good perspective of what the early

23
00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:08,000
Speaker 1: values are. That's gonna be the biggest test to this

24
00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:11,040
Speaker 1: mock draft. When you're mock drafting in December, you're really

25
00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:14,560
Speaker 1: you know, getting an understanding of the values, or you're

26
00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:17,240
Speaker 1: experimenting in the world of jumping into like you know,

27
00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:19,959
Speaker 1: the early drafts of maybe NFBC and stuff like that.

28
00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:21,840
Speaker 1: But we are going to give you a good idea

29
00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:25,559
Speaker 1: of the evaluations and a preview of the draft board

30
00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:27,880
Speaker 1: and the draft system at Fantasy Pros for the coming year.

31
00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:30,039
Speaker 1: Mister Joe Rico, thank you so much. You are a

32
00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:33,680
Speaker 1: company man, absolutely freaking decked out and pro stuff.

33
00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:36,919
Speaker 2: What's up, buddy, I'm doing well, man. It's Christmas season

34
00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:39,720
Speaker 2: watching all these little Christmas specials. I got a bone

35
00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:41,520
Speaker 2: to pick with you because I was doing the Fantasy

36
00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:45,280
Speaker 2: Pro Show yesterday. You're a Charlie Brown hater. You are

37
00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:47,720
Speaker 2: a Charlie Brown hater. I couldn't even believe my ears.

38
00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:49,400
Speaker 2: I mean, it's one of them. I haven't seen it

39
00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:51,520
Speaker 2: this year, so maybe it's one of those ones that

40
00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:53,280
Speaker 2: doesn't hold up as much. But it's a classic.

41
00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:56,120
Speaker 1: No, that's fine, one hundred percent. I'm not a Charlie

42
00:01:56,120 --> 00:02:00,320
Speaker 1: Brown hater. I what I simply said was the Charlie

43
00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:04,680
Speaker 1: Brown Christmas Special might hands down be the one thing

44
00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:07,640
Speaker 1: that hold It holds up less than anything I've ever

45
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:09,760
Speaker 1: watched that I can recall, Like there are things that

46
00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:12,520
Speaker 1: take you into their era and stuff like that, the

47
00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:15,480
Speaker 1: perception of like, hey, Charlie Brown's Christmas and all that,

48
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:17,920
Speaker 1: like I know, the Pumpkin One and everything. I was

49
00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:20,920
Speaker 1: just astonished rewatching it with my kids. I was like,

50
00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:24,079
Speaker 1: this is atrocious. And there's some pretty great animation of

51
00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:26,519
Speaker 1: that time. That's simply what I was saying, and a

52
00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:29,400
Speaker 1: little grinchy in the holiday spirit. But it doesn't hold up.

53
00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:32,160
Speaker 1: It doesn't hold it. It's a rough watch. The storytelling,

54
00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:35,280
Speaker 1: the all of it is just it's not great. And

55
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:38,600
Speaker 1: I'll probably just go back to National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation.

56
00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:40,480
Speaker 2: I got to watch it this year. I'm just going through,

57
00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:42,959
Speaker 2: like the Grin Show. I watched Home Alone yesterday, just

58
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:46,079
Speaker 2: getting into the getting into that holiday spirit here as

59
00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:48,120
Speaker 2: we start our drafts for the year. But I mean

60
00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:50,359
Speaker 2: I've already started drafting months ago, so this is more

61
00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:52,640
Speaker 2: just just another practice round.

62
00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:56,560
Speaker 1: Really well, yeah, Joey's been crazy, and we're talking about

63
00:02:56,560 --> 00:02:58,240
Speaker 1: the holidays, but we're moving into the new year, and

64
00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:00,120
Speaker 1: that's what this is going to be all about. You

65
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:01,959
Speaker 1: can get into, like, you know, some early drafts that

66
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:04,520
Speaker 1: are going on. There's Gladiators from NFBC. You can get

67
00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:06,800
Speaker 1: into early best balls. I know you've already taken down

68
00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:10,680
Speaker 1: six seven of those. I'm just about to jump into

69
00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:12,040
Speaker 1: the way. I like to wait a little bit longer.

70
00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:15,000
Speaker 1: I like to make sure that I've really really honed

71
00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:17,440
Speaker 1: in my rank process before i start jumping into like

72
00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:21,200
Speaker 1: real serious money stuff. But we are going to tackle

73
00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:23,320
Speaker 1: some of the early perception and that's going to be

74
00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:24,440
Speaker 1: the thing that's going to open up a lot of

75
00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:27,359
Speaker 1: people's minds in what's happening in those early best balls

76
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:30,440
Speaker 1: and Gladiators and DC's and what's going to happen when

77
00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:33,360
Speaker 1: you guys start drafting. There's a host of new crazy

78
00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:35,400
Speaker 1: things that are going to be going on, and hopefully

79
00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:37,560
Speaker 1: we'll be able to do that as we go through

80
00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:40,040
Speaker 1: this draft live here. In just one second, I want

81
00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:43,280
Speaker 1: to remind you guys to get locked in early this year.

82
00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:47,560
Speaker 1: Go to my playbook, go to Fantasy Pros right now,

83
00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:50,880
Speaker 1: and get locked into my playbook because next thing you

84
00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:53,120
Speaker 1: know it, Draft Wizard's going to be up. You're going

85
00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:55,440
Speaker 1: to want my playbook for end season, and we are

86
00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:58,600
Speaker 1: going to have all the draft simulator set up here

87
00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:01,920
Speaker 1: for you guys draft the MUDs as I mentioned it

88
00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:05,040
Speaker 1: to you, and that's gonna be the big, big, big

89
00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:08,040
Speaker 1: important one because today's live mock draft is done using

90
00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:12,000
Speaker 1: our Draft Wizard mock draft lobby just like you'll see today.

91
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:14,440
Speaker 1: Our multi user drafts allow you to practice quick and

92
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:18,520
Speaker 1: fun mock drafts against both real and CPU opponents using

93
00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:21,520
Speaker 1: the same easy to use interface as our mock draft simulator.

94
00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:25,000
Speaker 1: While the mock Draft Lobby isn't available for public use yet,

95
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:29,080
Speaker 1: our mock draft simulator tool is open at fantasypros dot

96
00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:32,880

97
00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:36,440
Speaker 1: your upcoming fantasy baseball drafts. Again, that's Fantasypros dot Com

98

Speaker 1: down multiple drafts in minutes and you can start figuring

100
00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:47,640
Speaker 1: out and preparing what you want to do. So let's

101
00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:50,520
Speaker 1: get to what we're going to do. We've got this

102
00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:53,479
Speaker 1: mock draft all set up here. Mike Mayer's in the

103
00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:56,880
Speaker 1: one spot. We've got Kelly Kirby at four, Joe, we've

104
00:04:56,920 --> 00:04:59,760
Speaker 1: got you at seven. I am drafting at eleven. Right

105
00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:02,599
Speaker 1: before or I hit start on this bad boy. Any

106
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:05,080
Speaker 1: quick thought process of how you want to attack this

107
00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:06,119
Speaker 1: from that seven spot.

108
00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:08,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, I like to be at least in the middle.

109
00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:10,640
Speaker 2: I don't like to be on the turns because then

110
00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:12,400
Speaker 2: you miss out on the runs off it's starting pitcher,

111
00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:14,640
Speaker 2: if it's closer, it's whatever. So I like to be

112
00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:16,320
Speaker 2: in the middle for this draft. I got to choose

113
00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:18,960
Speaker 2: my spot, so I went just after the middle because

114
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:21,840
Speaker 2: I do think that there are maybe seventeen or eighteen

115
00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:24,480
Speaker 2: first round worthy players, so I can get myself potentially

116
00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:26,560
Speaker 2: two of them drafting. Maybe it's better to be a

117
00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:30,800
Speaker 2: little farther down eight, nine, ten, guarantee yourself whatever, Julio,

118
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:34,159
Speaker 2: Carrol Combo or Jordan and Carol or whatever. But I

119
00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:35,719
Speaker 2: do like to be kind of in the middle and

120
00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:38,120
Speaker 2: a little slightly more towards the back end here. So

121
00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:40,479
Speaker 2: I like where I am. I'm going to plan for

122
00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:42,640
Speaker 2: some of course, some five category bats here in the

123
00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:43,239
Speaker 2: first couple.

124
00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:45,120
Speaker 1: Rounds, and that's kind of what I was looking at,

125
00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:47,880
Speaker 1: is like I think there's some really really great value.

126
00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:49,760
Speaker 1: At the end of drafts, we're doing a twelve team.

127
00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:51,719
Speaker 1: The only thing I didn't mention about the whole process,

128
00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:54,400
Speaker 1: you know, roto maybe being a little bit more king

129
00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:56,960
Speaker 1: fifteen team would make sense. But again, you know, just

130
00:05:57,000 --> 00:05:59,440
Speaker 1: as a nice little promotional tool to the simulator and

131
00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:01,839
Speaker 1: the lobby, you can have so much customization. I set

132
00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:04,640
Speaker 1: this up in minutes, was able to put how many teams,

133
00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:08,080
Speaker 1: what the positions by quick clicks the time, and you

134
00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:10,479
Speaker 1: can invite as many people as you want to throw

135
00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:12,279
Speaker 1: out there, or you can just have the robots draft.

136
00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:14,920
Speaker 1: So I'm at eleven here, I'm going to be looking

137
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:17,400
Speaker 1: at probably some combination of the really great value bats

138
00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:19,000
Speaker 1: that are going to fall out. Let's see where the

139
00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:21,360
Speaker 1: pitchers go, Let's see where the values are, and let's

140
00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:24,000
Speaker 1: start this bad boy up. We have got our dear

141
00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:26,520
Speaker 1: friend Mike Mayer, who's going to be on the clock

142
00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:31,720
Speaker 1: here drafting one show. Hey Otani, sixty seven percent expert consensus.

143
00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:35,240
Speaker 1: So far as the number one player doesn't have a position,

144
00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:37,600
Speaker 1: it's going to just be U two, which is probably

145
00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:41,880
Speaker 1: the slight little negative to it. But his production and

146
00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:43,840
Speaker 1: performance is great, and I've said this before I think

147
00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:45,600
Speaker 1: there are four really great ways you can go in

148
00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:50,320
Speaker 1: drafts for extremes, the overall Otani, the best positional Wit.

149
00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:52,680
Speaker 1: You want all the homers, Judge, you want all the

150
00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:55,440
Speaker 1: stolen bases, Ellie. I think those four are a great

151
00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:57,960
Speaker 1: way that you can tackle this into your drafts. And

152
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:00,280
Speaker 1: this bad boy has started up, Mike Mayor is on

153
00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:03,440
Speaker 1: the clock, and I would suspect Otani is going to

154
00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:04,800
Speaker 1: be our top dog.

155
00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:05,919
Speaker 2: Here are you on?

156
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:07,520
Speaker 1: Are you on Otani at util?

157
00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:09,960
Speaker 2: Yeah? Yeah, I don't mind it. I mean, especially hell,

158
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:11,520
Speaker 2: if you get him as a pitcher too. There's some

159
00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:13,400
Speaker 2: sites where you'll get both of those stats. If it's

160
00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:16,720
Speaker 2: a daily league, then he's easily number one. If you're

161
00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:19,400
Speaker 2: just talking about the offensive stats, I don't really mind

162
00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:21,600
Speaker 2: going with Bobby Wit, especially if you are somebody who's

163
00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:23,840
Speaker 2: going to do like a bunch of drafts. Let's say

164
00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:25,680
Speaker 2: you get the number one pick like ten times. I

165
00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:29,080
Speaker 2: probably would take both of them evenly, maybe sixty percent

166
00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:32,280
Speaker 2: Otani forty percent Wit. But Bobby Wit, I mean, thirty

167
00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:36,720
Speaker 2: thirty season, hitting well over three hundred on the upper trajectory,

168
00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:39,160
Speaker 2: there's no injury concerns. It's not crazy to consider him

169
00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:40,120
Speaker 2: as the first overall pick.

170
00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:42,559
Speaker 1: I don't think no, and I don't think it's crazy,

171
00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:44,080
Speaker 1: and that's definitely not what I'm saying. I don't I

172
00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:46,440
Speaker 1: don't think it is a wild crazy thing. It's just,

173
00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:50,280
Speaker 1: you know, I think from a statistical not worry about

174
00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:53,800
Speaker 1: positional standpoint, Otani makes all the sense in the world.

175
00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:57,960
Speaker 1: So first pick is up here and we do have Otani.

176
00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:01,360
Speaker 1: Wit goes to Soto go three. Kelly is on the

177
00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:05,240
Speaker 1: clock here and eighty three percent expert consents is so

178
00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:07,040
Speaker 1: far in the early ranks. A lot of this powered

179
00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:09,960
Speaker 1: by our expert consensus rankers, which as the season goes on,

180
00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:12,840
Speaker 1: they're gonna keep going up and up. We have air

181
00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:15,760
Speaker 1: Gunner Henderson going to Kelly. Aaron Judge was eighty seven

182
00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:19,120
Speaker 1: percent consensus. It went Judge and then Ellie. You are

183
00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:19,920
Speaker 1: now up. Joe.

184
00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:23,400
Speaker 2: I'm gonna take care of a weaker position in third base.

185
00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:26,800
Speaker 2: Talked about the five category prowess I'm looking for in

186
00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:29,240
Speaker 2: the first round. I'm gonna go Jose Ramirez, gonna keep

187
00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:31,320
Speaker 2: it simple. I mean, I could have gone Mookie beats

188
00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:33,800
Speaker 2: Kyle Tucker, but I feel like Hoose Rimir is one

189
00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:35,240
Speaker 2: of those guys you can pretty much write the numbers

190
00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:37,040
Speaker 2: down in pen before the season. You know what, He's

191
00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:39,360
Speaker 2: gonna do some variants in the runs in RBIs but

192
00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:40,840
Speaker 2: so safe. It's such a weak position.

193
00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:46,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, I love that Mookie bets Kyle Tucker, Fernando Tatis Junior.

194
00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:49,360
Speaker 1: That's pretty core. I mean, honestly, you would have loved

195
00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:51,600
Speaker 1: one of those falling. But that's what's so great about

196
00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:54,199
Speaker 1: so like ten looks like a really good spot. It's

197
00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:57,240
Speaker 1: gonna feel homery. Corbyn Carol is sitting there. I kind

198
00:08:57,240 --> 00:09:00,280
Speaker 1: of love and I've talked about this combination potential of

199
00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:03,840
Speaker 1: you could go Corbyn, Carroll and Julio Rodriguez on the wheel.

200
00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:06,440
Speaker 1: I also have the potential of jumping in in the

201
00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:10,679
Speaker 1: sp market if you were to ever do or all

202
00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:15,560
Speaker 1: do the pocket ASA strategy. Scooble and Skeens might be

203
00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:18,840
Speaker 1: the ultimate of all time. They're also a huge safety net.

204
00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:22,400
Speaker 1: But it's a battle of what are you comfortable with

205
00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:26,120
Speaker 1: on the hitters versus what are you comfortable with investment

206
00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:29,400
Speaker 1: on the pitchers? And I just I can't quite pull

207
00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:32,520
Speaker 1: the trigger on that, but oh my, I just got

208
00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:35,800
Speaker 1: sniped by the system. As I said that, I would

209
00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:39,280
Speaker 1: say Julio or Skins and they both just went on

210
00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:41,800
Speaker 1: the wheel. That's a phenomenon. So now I am staring

211
00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:44,920
Speaker 1: at this possibility of maybe I do take the top

212
00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:50,040
Speaker 1: sp I like Lindor, a lot yard on Alvarez is

213
00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:53,120
Speaker 1: as safe as safe can be. You know what, I

214
00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:56,560
Speaker 1: am going to do this. It is the top of

215
00:09:56,640 --> 00:10:00,440
Speaker 1: the board here. Lindor is being pushed at me. Man,

216
00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:05,559
Speaker 1: what do you think Scooble or Lindor stolen bases overall

217
00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:08,960
Speaker 1: production or get that sp I'm tempted to lock up

218
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:09,680
Speaker 1: the sp.

219
00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:11,679
Speaker 2: I think it's I mean, if it were me, I'd

220
00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:14,120
Speaker 2: probably go Schooble. But Jordan Alvarez is kind of like

221
00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:16,680
Speaker 2: the mirror of Corbyn Carrol because you're not getting steals.

222
00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:18,600
Speaker 2: The Carrol could give you forty steals and then you're

223
00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:22,880
Speaker 2: getting forty homers from Jordan. It's definitely I mean, I

224
00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:24,360
Speaker 2: know I didn't help you out too much there, I

225
00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:24,800
Speaker 2: just give you.

226
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:26,880
Speaker 1: Well, no, I'm I'm gonna I'm gonna do it like

227
00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:29,319
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with scoobl I really thought Julio was

228
00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:31,160
Speaker 1: going to be my lock and if not, go schemes.

229
00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:33,520
Speaker 1: But you know, get the top pitcher I've got a

230
00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:35,960
Speaker 1: fifty plus stolen based guy in Corbyn Carroll and pretty

231
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:39,240
Speaker 1: comfortable with that, so I go schooble the next team.

232
00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:41,920
Speaker 1: It's still a little bit high Ronald Acunya going in

233
00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:44,559
Speaker 1: the second round. He's kind of falling in more of

234
00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:47,280
Speaker 1: the higher stick stuff into like the third we had

235
00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:51,559
Speaker 1: Lindor Vladimir Gerrera Junior, and then you just got gifted

236
00:10:51,679 --> 00:10:52,599
Speaker 1: Jordan Alvarez.

237
00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:56,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, two o six. He shouldn't crazy all quite that far.

238
00:10:56,880 --> 00:10:58,720
Speaker 2: Now the lineup around him is not what it was

239
00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:01,640
Speaker 2: even a week ago, but I still think that he

240
00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:03,920
Speaker 2: is a pretty damn safe pick there middle of the

241
00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:05,719
Speaker 2: second round. Later he fell, I mean, he could be

242
00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:07,520
Speaker 2: a first round pick and it wouldn't really shock me

243
00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:10,000
Speaker 2: if he went eleven or twelve. But getting him middle

244
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:11,640
Speaker 2: of the second that is a gift.

245
00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:13,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, I was thinking about, Yeah, there's always

246
00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:15,720
Speaker 1: been this debate that's gone on just forever about like

247
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:21,480
Speaker 1: Vladimir Gera Junior or Joran Alvarez, and people struggle with that,

248
00:11:21,559 --> 00:11:25,120
Speaker 1: and it's like they're just both incredibly great picks. So

249
00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:28,120
Speaker 1: you know, it's like just a phenomenal spot picking up

250
00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:30,839
Speaker 1: the last couple. Let's see we had, if I can

251
00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:34,720
Speaker 1: get back to it, we had. You took Alvarez, Duran, Shurio.

252
00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:38,040
Speaker 1: Kelly went with Freddie Freeman, which is a really solid pick.

253
00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:38,520
Speaker 2: This late.

254
00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:40,760
Speaker 1: Bryce Harper, who I would have went with a head,

255
00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:44,680
Speaker 1: went three, Zach Wheeler, Mayer did the wheel of Jackson

256
00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:49,400
Speaker 1: Merrill and Chris Sale. I love the Chris Sale pick.

257
00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:51,560
Speaker 1: I'm a little bit lower on Jackson Maryral. I don't

258
00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:53,720
Speaker 1: know if I'm going to pull the trigger on Jackson Merrill.

259
00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:57,079
Speaker 1: In the second round. The last couple went Trey Turner, Olsen,

260
00:11:57,400 --> 00:12:02,560
Speaker 1: Kelly got seized. So another pitcher, Jazz Chisholm, Raphael Devers, Joe,

261
00:12:02,559 --> 00:12:04,720
Speaker 1: you're on the clock. I want to talk about Meryl

262
00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:06,720
Speaker 1: for a second, but let's wait till after your pick.

263
00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:09,319
Speaker 1: So what are we doing on the clock here? And

264
00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:12,080
Speaker 1: then let's go to maryl Yeah.

265
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:17,160
Speaker 2: I don't mind Meryll or debating. Yeah, I'm just kind

266
00:12:17,160 --> 00:12:19,720
Speaker 2: of debating a couple of different picks here. I don't

267
00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:24,280
Speaker 2: mind Merrill. I think the second round is he's fully priced.

268
00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:27,880
Speaker 2: You need him to absolutely smash at that rate, and

269
00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:32,520
Speaker 2: there is some risk, you know, just coming off of

270
00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:35,360
Speaker 2: that massive rookie season, he could regress a little bit.

271
00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:37,439
Speaker 2: I think he's gonna be fine, but the second round

272
00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:40,360
Speaker 2: feels a little a little bit much for me, especially

273
00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:42,320
Speaker 2: in a twelve team or fifteen teamer. If he sneaks

274
00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:44,120
Speaker 2: in the back end, the second round okay, but top

275
00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:46,200
Speaker 2: twenty four for me is a little rich.

276
00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:48,840
Speaker 1: You took my guy. I was going to go with

277
00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:51,679
Speaker 1: Corey Seeger or Katel Marte who went right after you.

278
00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:54,320
Speaker 1: Garrett Crochet would have been a phenomenal sp pick. Kind

279
00:12:54,320 --> 00:12:55,880
Speaker 1: of glad I took Scoogle because that would have been

280
00:12:55,880 --> 00:12:58,520
Speaker 1: who I wanted in this range. And then William Contreras

281
00:12:58,559 --> 00:13:01,880
Speaker 1: insane catcher value. Talk about Corey Seeger while I'm up here,

282
00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:05,400
Speaker 1: because like the production was there, you look at like

283
00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:07,720
Speaker 1: the underlying stuff, it was all there. It's just the

284
00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:10,360
Speaker 1: injuries are consistent. So I was gonna take him though.

285
00:13:10,679 --> 00:13:12,800
Speaker 2: He's coming off of a year where, I mean, most

286
00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:15,360
Speaker 2: of the Rangers were not quite what they were the

287
00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:18,120
Speaker 2: year prior, coming off of the long World Series run.

288
00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:21,199
Speaker 2: It was a bit of a quote unquote down year,

289
00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:22,839
Speaker 2: and it was still like a one for thirty five

290
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:27,360
Speaker 2: WRC plus thirty plus homers are almost guaranteed. The injuries

291
00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:29,160
Speaker 2: are a bit of a concern, but in the third round,

292
00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:31,160
Speaker 2: pairing him with who I have I think have a

293
00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:34,120
Speaker 2: pretty safe base there to start off with Jay Ramon

294
00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:37,920
Speaker 2: Alvarez and then Seeger gives me I think forty home

295
00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:40,000
Speaker 2: run upside in a lineup that should be quite a

296
00:13:40,040 --> 00:13:41,600
Speaker 2: bit better this year than it was last year.

297
00:13:42,520 --> 00:13:45,439
Speaker 1: Garrett Crochet William contrast, I went with Austin Riley, who

298
00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:49,520
Speaker 1: I value in that same Raphael Dever's ish range of

299
00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:53,600
Speaker 1: third baseman, and then it went to Ozzy Albi's Garrett

300
00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:56,760
Speaker 1: Cole on the wheel. So I am back up, and

301
00:13:56,800 --> 00:13:59,640
Speaker 1: I don't love this territory. If I'm being honest with you,

302
00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:03,720
Speaker 1: I really really don't. So I'm gonna do something I

303
00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:06,120
Speaker 1: don't usually do. But it's fourth round. I've got a

304
00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:08,280
Speaker 1: pretty or yeah, it's fourth round. I've got a pretty

305
00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:11,240
Speaker 1: big fall here. I'm gonna go with the top closer

306
00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:12,720
Speaker 1: in the fourth round. I'm gonna go with a manual

307
00:14:12,760 --> 00:14:15,520
Speaker 1: class A pairing that with one of the top pitchers,

308
00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:17,880
Speaker 1: so I've got to essentially at the top of their

309
00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:19,760
Speaker 1: position and one of the best stolen base guys. So

310
00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:22,920
Speaker 1: I'm going for balance there. What are your thoughts on

311
00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:24,760
Speaker 1: a manual class I know you're about to come up here.

312
00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:27,480
Speaker 2: You're up. Yeah. I took Cole Reagan's as my ACE,

313
00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:30,880
Speaker 2: and based on the way the software is set up currently,

314
00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:32,800
Speaker 2: I'm not sure if that's going to maintain. But he

315
00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:35,120
Speaker 2: has a relief picture eligibility still from the year prior

316
00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:35,680
Speaker 2: at that may not.

317
00:14:35,920 --> 00:14:38,280
Speaker 1: It won't, it won't. That's that'll be the I can

318
00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:40,280
Speaker 1: tell you right now. There are some positional things that

319
00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:42,280
Speaker 1: are going to adjust into the new year. Again, that's

320
00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:44,640
Speaker 1: why the software is not up. It's a it's a

321
00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:47,440
Speaker 1: hack for you, but it won't be for the regular.

322
00:14:47,200 --> 00:14:48,400
Speaker 2: So for now I can put them in the relief

323
00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:50,400
Speaker 2: picture spot and then get that taken care of with

324
00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:52,800
Speaker 2: one of them. But for Class A, I think he's

325
00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:56,120
Speaker 2: still incredibly safe. The strikeout rate maybe isn't quite what

326
00:14:56,320 --> 00:14:59,400
Speaker 2: you want with the elite closer like the rest of them,

327
00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:02,960
Speaker 2: it's fairly the average actually, but I mean the ratios,

328
00:15:03,280 --> 00:15:05,760
Speaker 2: the potential for forty plus saves, I think he is

329
00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:08,640
Speaker 2: definitely I haven't done relief pitcher rankings, but he's definitely

330
00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:10,960
Speaker 2: in that top two or three there with Williams and Hater,

331
00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:14,720
Speaker 2: I mean maybe even maybe even Edwin Diaz like there's

332
00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:17,400
Speaker 2: a cluster of elite closers, and he's definitely among them.

333
00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:21,840
Speaker 1: After Reagan's I went Machado Schwarberg, That's who I was considering,

334
00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:24,600
Speaker 1: Michael King very high in the fourth round of Kelly Kirby.

335
00:15:24,880 --> 00:15:28,680
Speaker 1: Pete Alonso followed up that pick Willia Damas, Mike Mayer,

336
00:15:28,760 --> 00:15:32,320
Speaker 1: went Mason Miller and Taoscar Hernandez. On the four or

337
00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:35,760
Speaker 1: five wheel, Blake Snell, who I did want a pretty

338
00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:40,400
Speaker 1: considerable amount, Altuve, Pablo Lopez, Michael Harris, c J Abrams.

339
00:15:40,400 --> 00:15:44,080
Speaker 1: You took Devin Williams, Royce Lewis, Marcusimi, and Jacob de Brom.

340
00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:47,480
Speaker 1: I'm up, So let's hear your take on Devin Williams.

341
00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:50,520
Speaker 2: Yeah. I don't think that much changes going to New York.

342
00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:54,080
Speaker 2: I don't love that, you know, lefties essentially have a

343
00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:55,920
Speaker 2: Little League park to hit in. But I don't think

344
00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:59,240
Speaker 2: much changes in terms of like, his talent is undeniable.

345
00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:02,400
Speaker 2: I don't want to make like crazy comps, but he's

346
00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:04,800
Speaker 2: one of the best relief pitchers I've ever seen in

347
00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:06,960
Speaker 2: my life. I mean, every single year he's giving you

348
00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:10,560
Speaker 2: sub to era is ridiculous, strikeout rates, ridiculous stuff. Numbers

349
00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:12,760
Speaker 2: wherever he's pitching. Even if he was in Colorado, I

350
00:16:12,760 --> 00:16:14,840
Speaker 2: think I'd still be pretty interested at this range and

351
00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:17,440
Speaker 2: getting him in the fourth walking down one or actually, no,

352
00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:19,080
Speaker 2: I got him in the fifth, didn't I be getting

353
00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:21,560
Speaker 2: of the fifth? So yeah, I'll absolutely take that.

354
00:16:21,880 --> 00:16:25,360
Speaker 1: I just took James Wood, followed up Santander and Zach Gallon.

355
00:16:25,560 --> 00:16:27,160
Speaker 1: I'm gonna take one of my favorite players in the

356
00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:30,480
Speaker 1: sixth round. Still, I hate passing up this other h

357
00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:34,440
Speaker 1: take O'Neill Cruz. I can't ever quit O'Neill Cruz, and

358
00:16:34,480 --> 00:16:37,240
Speaker 1: I get to slot him in its shortstop played shortstop,

359
00:16:37,640 --> 00:16:39,520
Speaker 1: move to center field into the year, so he's gonna

360
00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:43,960
Speaker 1: have dual position eligibility, good average, twenty twenty season thing,

361
00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:46,480
Speaker 1: he's gonna tap into more power. So I took James

362
00:16:46,520 --> 00:16:50,240
Speaker 1: Wood and him. I'm going for big, big counting stats.

363
00:16:50,280 --> 00:16:52,960
Speaker 1: I've got three guys at Steel twenty three guys that

364
00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:55,520
Speaker 1: can hit over two hundred. I might be a little

365
00:16:55,520 --> 00:16:58,200
Speaker 1: susceptible in batting average. That's something I'm gonna pay attention to.

366
00:16:59,080 --> 00:17:02,440
Speaker 1: Cleaning up those last picks after that, because we in

367
00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:05,320
Speaker 1: between you, we had Santan, Darren Gallen, Luis Castillo, Josh

368
00:17:05,359 --> 00:17:08,920
Speaker 1: Hater Valdez, Yamamoto. We're in a big pitching run going

369
00:17:08,920 --> 00:17:11,640
Speaker 1: on right now, Logan Webb, even Naga, Kelly Kirby took

370
00:17:11,600 --> 00:17:15,679
Speaker 1: a white Langford who I almost took Ryan Hellsley. You

371
00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:18,600
Speaker 1: went with Yamamoto. Is that your second sp That is

372
00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:19,960
Speaker 1: because you took Coll Reagans.

373
00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:23,080
Speaker 2: Right after Reagan's. Yeah. Yamoto, in the drafts I've been

374
00:17:23,119 --> 00:17:25,480
Speaker 2: in this year is usually a third round pick, so

375
00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:28,679
Speaker 2: getting him in the sixties feels like really good bargain.

376
00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:31,639
Speaker 2: He's usually going in SP one territory. But I have

377
00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:35,320
Speaker 2: like co aces there with Reagan's and the Ammoto especially

378
00:17:35,359 --> 00:17:38,120
Speaker 2: not going early pitching quote unquote early first three rounds

379
00:17:38,119 --> 00:17:39,919
Speaker 2: were hitters. I'm pretty happy with that.

380
00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:44,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, And point out early drafts and like NFBC and stuff,

381
00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:47,560
Speaker 1: you're going to play like upside, big stolen bases, big

382
00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:50,960
Speaker 1: strikeouts and stuff like that. Pitchers go higher, catchers go higher.

383
00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:54,040
Speaker 1: Catchers kind of ruin the system a little bit of

384
00:17:54,080 --> 00:17:56,919
Speaker 1: values because an FBC and two catcher systems. So just

385
00:17:56,920 --> 00:17:58,080
Speaker 1: some things to point out here.

386
00:17:58,359 --> 00:18:00,879
Speaker 2: Hate you got your league, man, I hate two catcher leagues,

387
00:18:00,920 --> 00:18:01,359
Speaker 2: I really do.

388
00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:05,520
Speaker 1: I hate this round. Everybody just taking my guys. Nola

389
00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:09,000
Speaker 1: and Vientos went to Mayor Teleglasstan was one. I wanted

390
00:18:09,040 --> 00:18:12,480
Speaker 1: Brent Rooker to Kelly, I like, and you took Johann Duran,

391
00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:14,600
Speaker 1: So I'm up, why don't you break us down on

392
00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:16,120
Speaker 1: that is your second closer?

393
00:18:16,160 --> 00:18:19,800
Speaker 2: I believe? Yeah. I mean there's a lot of drafts

394
00:18:19,800 --> 00:18:23,040
Speaker 2: I've done this year where I've waited way too long

395
00:18:23,080 --> 00:18:25,360
Speaker 2: on closer and then you're going with like a Calvin

396
00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:28,479
Speaker 2: Fouchet or somebody is your sp two, And I mean

397
00:18:28,480 --> 00:18:30,119
Speaker 2: half of people probably just said who is that? And

398
00:18:30,119 --> 00:18:33,680
Speaker 2: I wouldn't blame them. So I try sometimes, especially when

399
00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:35,280
Speaker 2: we have a little bit more freedom in these mocks,

400
00:18:35,280 --> 00:18:37,520
Speaker 2: to try out some different builds and going with a

401
00:18:37,560 --> 00:18:40,320
Speaker 2: couple of early closers. I like what I've done so far.

402
00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:43,159
Speaker 2: I've got two absolute shutdown arms, Williams and Durant, and

403
00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:44,840
Speaker 2: I don't have to worry about it at all. And

404
00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:46,840
Speaker 2: that's been something for me in the early drafting I've

405
00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:49,640
Speaker 2: done where I'm sitting there in the eighth, ninth, tenth, eleventh,

406
00:18:49,800 --> 00:18:51,960
Speaker 2: through like fifteenth round thinking I need another closer. I

407
00:18:51,960 --> 00:18:53,960
Speaker 2: need another closer. Now I can just focus on the

408
00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:55,879
Speaker 2: team and I have to worry about that positional stuff.

409
00:18:57,160 --> 00:18:59,960
Speaker 1: I just took Jordan Westburgh, one of my favorite break

410
00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:02,440
Speaker 1: out candidates who already had like just a big breakout

411
00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:06,239
Speaker 1: year last year, insanely great slider of baseball savant. If

412
00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:08,520
Speaker 1: you care about looking at that good hard hit numbers,

413
00:19:08,560 --> 00:19:12,320
Speaker 1: barrel numbers, they're making the right feel or the I

414
00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:15,320
Speaker 1: guess i'd be left field wall. They're bringing it down

415
00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:17,720
Speaker 1: for right handed hitters, so it's an advantage for right

416
00:19:17,720 --> 00:19:20,119
Speaker 1: handed hitters in general. It's a huge boost for Jordan

417
00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:24,240
Speaker 1: Westburg talking them about eighty three. Just for people's perspective,

418
00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:25,960
Speaker 1: it's about where you're gonna have to take a guy

419
00:19:25,960 --> 00:19:27,359
Speaker 1: like him, and I think that's one that's going to

420
00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:31,040
Speaker 1: like open people's eyes, like, whoa, you know, Jordan Westburg.

421
00:19:31,160 --> 00:19:35,520
Speaker 1: That seems like a brand new one here. I currently

422
00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:38,720
Speaker 1: have my technically qualifies at second here probably shouldn Onneil

423
00:19:38,760 --> 00:19:42,080
Speaker 1: Cruz Riley. I've got two outfielders. I've got one starting pitcher,

424
00:19:42,119 --> 00:19:46,960
Speaker 1: one closer. I'm very tempted to go starting pitcher here.

425
00:19:47,080 --> 00:19:49,600
Speaker 1: I'm gonna do this. This is going gonna seem weird.

426
00:19:50,359 --> 00:19:52,679
Speaker 1: I'm going to go with Luis Robert and I just

427
00:19:52,720 --> 00:19:57,160
Speaker 1: want to throw this out Luise Robert gross year insanely

428
00:19:57,480 --> 00:20:02,399
Speaker 1: bad underlying stats XBA like two ten. Everything fell apart,

429
00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:04,800
Speaker 1: but it fell apart so much as I've been doing

430
00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:08,920
Speaker 1: some of this work, it seems like the outlier more

431
00:20:08,960 --> 00:20:10,960
Speaker 1: than it is anything else. I've kind of come to

432
00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:12,520
Speaker 1: terms of that. I don't know if Robert's ever gonna

433
00:20:12,520 --> 00:20:15,280
Speaker 1: become like that second round overall talent. It was so

434
00:20:15,560 --> 00:20:19,359
Speaker 1: bad it reeks to me of the injury, the lack

435
00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:21,920
Speaker 1: of care and play on a team that was losing,

436
00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:24,840
Speaker 1: And it's such an outlier that I actually don't think

437
00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:28,879
Speaker 1: the bad K numbers and with numbers and underlying data

438
00:20:29,119 --> 00:20:31,240
Speaker 1: is as bad as it truly is. And he still

439
00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:33,200
Speaker 1: put up big counting stats, So I kind of think

440
00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:35,399
Speaker 1: it's a it's a sneakier little pick out there. So

441
00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:37,800
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with Luis Robert from my third outfielder

442
00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:42,639
Speaker 1: here bevia picks a Rosarina Ozuna Holiday, you took Christian Walker,

443
00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:46,199
Speaker 1: we had jan your Diaz, Brian Reynolds, Roley, Lawrence Butler,

444
00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:50,200
Speaker 1: who I really considered, Gossman, Doyle, and then the ninth

445
00:20:50,280 --> 00:20:53,679
Speaker 1: round started with munyez Ober and Netto Why don't you

446
00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:55,920
Speaker 1: talk to us about Walker and then what you're thinking

447
00:20:55,960 --> 00:20:56,960
Speaker 1: about doing coming up here?

448
00:20:57,640 --> 00:20:59,840
Speaker 2: I mean, I've just seen so much data with Walker.

449
00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:03,800
Speaker 2: He is essentially Matt Olsen and Pete Alonzo without the

450
00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:06,520
Speaker 2: name brand value, that hard hit data, a lot of

451
00:21:06,560 --> 00:21:08,560
Speaker 2: the underlying numbers. If you just were to take the

452
00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:10,159
Speaker 2: three of them, put them in an Excel sheet and

453
00:21:10,160 --> 00:21:12,880
Speaker 2: look at every they're like the same player. And you're

454
00:21:12,920 --> 00:21:14,800
Speaker 2: paying quite a bit less for Christian Walker than you

455
00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:16,560
Speaker 2: are for the other two. I'm not sure where he's

456
00:21:16,560 --> 00:21:19,080
Speaker 2: gonna play yet, which does worry me a little bit,

457
00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:22,200
Speaker 2: but I do think he ends up probably a Yankee stadium.

458
00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:24,080
Speaker 2: Do you think there's no chance of a reunion in

459
00:21:24,119 --> 00:21:26,679
Speaker 2: the desert or what are you thinking there with I.

460
00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:29,200
Speaker 1: Think there is a chance. I mean you say Yankee stadium,

461
00:21:29,240 --> 00:21:30,840
Speaker 1: But they just brought in Cody Bellinger, and I know

462
00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:33,359
Speaker 1: Tody could be the outfielder, but he might end up

463
00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:35,680
Speaker 1: being the first baseman when it's all said and done

464
00:21:35,720 --> 00:21:38,200
Speaker 1: with Jason Dimingez. So I think it's kind of open

465
00:21:38,280 --> 00:21:41,359
Speaker 1: right now. I think Walker might be too expensive for

466
00:21:41,400 --> 00:21:44,199
Speaker 1: the Diamondbacks, but I know there are some conversations around it.

467
00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:47,040
Speaker 1: You sneaky little sneaker.

468
00:21:47,119 --> 00:21:47,159
Speaker 3: You.

469
00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:50,119
Speaker 1: You just took Shane McLanahan in the ninth, which was

470
00:21:50,119 --> 00:21:52,600
Speaker 1: definitely in my queue. Hunter Brown had been in, Mike

471
00:21:52,680 --> 00:21:57,679
Speaker 1: que Kelly Kirby, took Robert Swarez, Tristan Cassis, Profar, Alex Bregman.

472
00:21:57,720 --> 00:21:59,320
Speaker 1: That was a pretty brutal round of a bunch of

473
00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:01,520
Speaker 1: like really good late sleepers, And that's kind of the

474
00:22:01,560 --> 00:22:05,640
Speaker 1: sneaky thing. I think sp is crazy deep right here.

475
00:22:06,560 --> 00:22:08,600
Speaker 1: I invested a second round pick in a starting pitcher

476
00:22:09,160 --> 00:22:11,439
Speaker 1: and I haven't taken another one yet outside of relief.

477
00:22:11,920 --> 00:22:14,119
Speaker 1: That's this is where I want to rectify that in

478
00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:16,679
Speaker 1: this round which I'm up. I forgot that I'm up

479
00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:20,679
Speaker 1: here because there are quite a few really really good

480
00:22:20,800 --> 00:22:23,600
Speaker 1: valued starting pitchers. So I'm going to double tap here,

481
00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:29,760
Speaker 1: all right, I am going to go, oh man, I'm

482
00:22:29,840 --> 00:22:32,040
Speaker 1: really struggling with this. Actually, which one I wanted to do?

483
00:22:32,119 --> 00:22:36,040
Speaker 1: I gotta think Joe Ryan, Joe Ryan just elite underlying

484
00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:39,959
Speaker 1: stats too. Fastball ended up having just big strikeout numbers.

485
00:22:39,960 --> 00:22:42,040
Speaker 1: Just love everything I saw. Grayson just went so that

486
00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:45,720
Speaker 1: made my decision easier. Max Freed is a good pick here,

487
00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:49,080
Speaker 1: but I'm going to pivot, and I'm going to go

488
00:22:49,119 --> 00:22:52,520
Speaker 1: with Spencer Swallenbach with the Atlanta Braves. I love him

489
00:22:52,560 --> 00:22:55,440
Speaker 1: and I've got him ranked really really high, great K

490
00:22:55,520 --> 00:22:59,040
Speaker 1: numbers across the board, splitter with sick fastball, just was

491
00:22:59,119 --> 00:23:02,560
Speaker 1: on everybody all year long. So you know, Yankee Stadium

492
00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:05,040
Speaker 1: a little less friendly. I mean, Freed's gonna be fine

493
00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:06,960
Speaker 1: with it as ground ball pitcher. But I like the

494
00:23:07,080 --> 00:23:10,639
Speaker 1: combination of Swellenbach adding with Joe Ryan to just have

495
00:23:10,720 --> 00:23:13,679
Speaker 1: like elite strikeouts areco What do you think about Schwellenbach

496
00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:14,360
Speaker 1: this high?

497
00:23:14,520 --> 00:23:18,280
Speaker 2: I would have taken him overt Freed. Freed worries me.

498
00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:21,920
Speaker 2: Man like that elbow. Two consecutive years of four arm injuries.

499
00:23:22,240 --> 00:23:23,920
Speaker 2: I did a show last year with Eno where he

500
00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:27,200
Speaker 2: broke down the percentages of each injury recurring, and it's

501
00:23:27,240 --> 00:23:29,960
Speaker 2: like eighty five percent chance that he eventually has surgery.

502
00:23:30,359 --> 00:23:31,879
Speaker 2: So I think that's a It is a bit of

503
00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:33,280
Speaker 2: a risk, and I'm not sure it's gonna be this year,

504
00:23:33,320 --> 00:23:35,720
Speaker 2: next year, what's going to happen? But Freed scares me.

505
00:23:35,760 --> 00:23:39,360
Speaker 2: Schwellenbach what he showed last year, incredible command, great strikeout rate,

506
00:23:39,400 --> 00:23:41,960
Speaker 2: great team context. Like he's going a little bit later

507
00:23:41,960 --> 00:23:45,360
Speaker 2: than I thought he would, so in the tenth round, absolutely,

508
00:23:45,400 --> 00:23:45,919
Speaker 2: no question.

509
00:23:46,080 --> 00:23:49,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, third sp we had Exavier Edwards go after. That's

510
00:23:49,800 --> 00:23:52,439
Speaker 1: a big stolen based chase that someone's doing. But you

511
00:23:52,440 --> 00:23:54,119
Speaker 1: know what, he's going to hit the top of the lineup.

512
00:23:54,160 --> 00:23:57,560
Speaker 1: We had Junior Cameronaro Tovar, you took Salsuzuki, Mike Trout

513
00:23:57,600 --> 00:23:59,960
Speaker 1: went after. Roki Sazaki is going to be a big one.

514
00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:03,000
Speaker 1: Cody Bellinger was actually a target of mind Volpi I

515
00:24:03,080 --> 00:24:05,000
Speaker 1: believe we had because it moved on a sunny gray.

516
00:24:05,040 --> 00:24:08,159
Speaker 1: Will Smith just quick thoughts, I know you're coming up.

517
00:24:08,200 --> 00:24:10,400
Speaker 1: I don't want to distract you through your pick here.

518
00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:14,399
Speaker 1: I'm curious at your pick of Riley Green and also

519
00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:16,399
Speaker 1: Roki Sazaki.

520
00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:20,320
Speaker 2: Sazaki and this is also like my NFBC brain. But

521
00:24:20,359 --> 00:24:23,800
Speaker 2: he's going in the top like six rounds every single

522
00:24:23,800 --> 00:24:26,080
Speaker 2: time pretty much. I think his ADP is settling in

523
00:24:26,119 --> 00:24:28,960
Speaker 2: around the seventies once he signs. Jack that up a

524
00:24:29,040 --> 00:24:31,600
Speaker 2: round or too, So any shares you can get up

525
00:24:31,600 --> 00:24:33,359
Speaker 2: Sazaki outside of the top one hundred. I'm not going

526
00:24:33,400 --> 00:24:35,000
Speaker 2: to pretend to be an expert on him because we

527
00:24:35,040 --> 00:24:37,480
Speaker 2: haven't seen a lot of him. There's not as much

528
00:24:37,560 --> 00:24:39,399
Speaker 2: data on him, as we have on players who've been

529
00:24:39,400 --> 00:24:41,080
Speaker 2: in the major leagues the last couple of years. But

530
00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:45,439
Speaker 2: from all accounts, he is a generational talent. I think

531
00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:47,439
Speaker 2: it was Baseball America who put an eighty grade on

532
00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:49,520
Speaker 2: one of his pitches yesterday, and that was kind of

533
00:24:49,520 --> 00:24:51,640
Speaker 2: a big deal. Like that doesn't barely happen very often.

534
00:24:51,680 --> 00:24:54,080
Speaker 2: So like this kid is incredibly talented. He's like twenty one,

535
00:24:54,160 --> 00:24:56,240
Speaker 2: twenty two. He's going to go to a good situation

536
00:24:56,640 --> 00:24:58,080
Speaker 2: if you can get him after pick one hundred. Do

537
00:24:58,119 --> 00:24:58,920
Speaker 2: it every single time.

538
00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:02,200
Speaker 1: I think I might agree with you on that. All right,

539
00:25:02,280 --> 00:25:04,960
Speaker 1: I am up here there are again. I think we're

540
00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:08,320
Speaker 1: in an SP territory. We mentioned being afraid I'm gonna

541
00:25:08,400 --> 00:25:10,520
Speaker 1: jump on Max Freed here now that I'm getting a value,

542
00:25:10,560 --> 00:25:14,439
Speaker 1: he's my SP. Four Adulas and Bogerts went behind me,

543
00:25:15,160 --> 00:25:21,280
Speaker 1: and I am in a I'm in a tunnel of chaos,

544
00:25:21,280 --> 00:25:25,360
Speaker 1: a vacuum here. On one hand, I have a personal

545
00:25:25,400 --> 00:25:29,639
Speaker 1: friend of mine. On the other hand, I have what

546
00:25:29,840 --> 00:25:32,080
Speaker 1: is like a top ten SP who's coming off of

547
00:25:32,119 --> 00:25:33,800
Speaker 1: an injury and who pitched at the end of the year,

548
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:37,280
Speaker 1: justin Steele. I feel obligated to take my friend Justin Steele,

549
00:25:38,760 --> 00:25:40,720
Speaker 1: But I think Justin will understand I'm gonna take Sandy

550
00:25:40,720 --> 00:25:43,720
Speaker 1: el Contra. I'm I hope maybe Justin'll fall back, Probably

551
00:25:43,760 --> 00:25:46,560
Speaker 1: not now, but Sandial Contra coming off of this injury,

552
00:25:46,640 --> 00:25:51,160
Speaker 1: him and Shane McClanahan or two relatively undervalued players. Sandy's

553
00:25:51,520 --> 00:25:53,520
Speaker 1: velo was up before the end of the year. He

554
00:25:53,600 --> 00:25:55,960
Speaker 1: was throwing some looks like he's going to be healthy

555
00:25:56,000 --> 00:25:59,040
Speaker 1: and get to push his innings this year. Also trade potential.

556
00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:01,879
Speaker 1: There's been some trade talks. I love the prospects of

557
00:26:01,880 --> 00:26:05,760
Speaker 1: getting Sandy, especially as my sp four. You scoffed, but

558
00:26:05,800 --> 00:26:08,000
Speaker 1: you can't take him with McClanahan, you can't have all

559
00:26:08,040 --> 00:26:10,840
Speaker 1: the posts Tommy John starting pitchers, or you don't want

560
00:26:10,880 --> 00:26:11,320
Speaker 1: them at least.

561
00:26:11,400 --> 00:26:14,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, you technically probably shouldn't. I feel like with him

562
00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:16,200
Speaker 2: because he was healthy at the end of last season.

563
00:26:16,200 --> 00:26:19,920
Speaker 2: If the Marlins were a team that was even somewhat

564
00:26:19,960 --> 00:26:22,600
Speaker 2: serious and they were competing for anything down the stretch,

565
00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:25,880
Speaker 2: I think he probably would have returned. But because they

566
00:26:25,920 --> 00:26:28,600
Speaker 2: were already officially eliminated, there was no point in risking it.

567
00:26:28,640 --> 00:26:31,239
Speaker 2: But he had another six months of recovery onto that

568
00:26:31,720 --> 00:26:33,320
Speaker 2: I don't see him as big of a risk as

569
00:26:33,359 --> 00:26:36,200
Speaker 2: a lot of people do. So I'll probably be maybe

570
00:26:36,359 --> 00:26:38,280
Speaker 2: overweight to the field on Sandy this year, is the

571
00:26:38,280 --> 00:26:39,080
Speaker 2: best way to put it.

572
00:26:40,320 --> 00:26:41,879
Speaker 1: I like that, all right, So let's see if I

573
00:26:41,920 --> 00:26:45,280
Speaker 1: can potentially pick back up where we were. So in

574
00:26:45,320 --> 00:26:48,080
Speaker 1: that round I took so it was a twelfth round.

575
00:26:48,080 --> 00:26:51,240
Speaker 1: I took Sandy and went Ersag Pasquentino literally top of

576
00:26:51,280 --> 00:26:55,080
Speaker 1: my cue, Brandon Nemo, Contreras terrang Luke Weaver probably not

577
00:26:55,160 --> 00:26:57,800
Speaker 1: great losing his job. Jake Berger also at the top

578
00:26:57,800 --> 00:27:00,800
Speaker 1: of my que that went to Kelly Radon Indy, Mike

579
00:27:00,880 --> 00:27:04,040
Speaker 1: Mayer went Luis Garcia, Jason Dimingez back to back. Diminga's

580
00:27:04,040 --> 00:27:10,040
Speaker 1: pick is freaking phenomenal. After that, we had Kelly taking

581
00:27:10,200 --> 00:27:14,120
Speaker 1: Justin Steele, Horner, Finnegan, you took Jared Jones, wu Cronenworth

582
00:27:14,640 --> 00:27:18,680
Speaker 1: and Low. Did you want our friend of the show

583
00:27:18,840 --> 00:27:21,359
Speaker 1: Justin Steele? Are you happy with that Jared Jones pick?

584
00:27:22,200 --> 00:27:24,360
Speaker 2: No. I like Steel a lot. I mean, he's been

585
00:27:24,480 --> 00:27:27,280
Speaker 2: so consistent the last I mean since he entered the league.

586
00:27:27,280 --> 00:27:28,960
Speaker 2: He's one of the most consistent pitchers. But there was

587
00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:32,159
Speaker 2: also some arm trouble in September I don't think it

588
00:27:32,160 --> 00:27:34,119
Speaker 2: was that serious, like he made his last start. I

589
00:27:34,200 --> 00:27:37,879
Speaker 2: believe still doesn't give me that warm fuzzy feeling though,

590
00:27:37,960 --> 00:27:40,200
Speaker 2: to draft a guy who did have some arm trouble

591
00:27:40,240 --> 00:27:42,960
Speaker 2: down the stretch. So I actually don't think I've landed

592
00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:45,440
Speaker 2: on Justin Steele this year. The price is reasonable enough.

593
00:27:45,480 --> 00:27:48,280
Speaker 2: There's just something that worries me a little bit there

594
00:27:49,480 --> 00:27:51,399
Speaker 2: with anybody who had any kind of arm problem. But

595
00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:52,800
Speaker 2: I think we're getting to the point where it's pretty

596
00:27:52,800 --> 00:27:54,320
Speaker 2: hard to find a picture who hasn't had some kind

597
00:27:54,359 --> 00:27:56,000
Speaker 2: of arm problem, And at this price, I think it's

598
00:27:56,040 --> 00:27:57,639
Speaker 2: definitely a fair range to take a shot on him.

599
00:27:57,680 --> 00:27:59,280
Speaker 2: For sure. It's probably later than he should be going

600
00:27:59,359 --> 00:27:59,920
Speaker 2: if we're being on it.

601
00:28:00,760 --> 00:28:02,920
Speaker 1: Man, I can't believe I'm gonna do this. I'm taking

602
00:28:02,960 --> 00:28:05,800
Speaker 1: an empty stat but I need batting average to carry

603
00:28:05,880 --> 00:28:09,080
Speaker 1: back up Luisa Rise. I'm gonna let Louisa Rise push

604
00:28:09,160 --> 00:28:11,240
Speaker 1: my team up just a tiny bit. I really have

605
00:28:11,320 --> 00:28:15,320
Speaker 1: taken some some risky shots where I might be tanking

606
00:28:15,359 --> 00:28:19,040
Speaker 1: batting average, but I have some pretty intense stolen bases

607
00:28:19,080 --> 00:28:22,160
Speaker 1: on my team. I've got Carol Wood, Robert, I've got

608
00:28:22,160 --> 00:28:25,400
Speaker 1: some big homers and Riley Oneo Cruz. I will say

609
00:28:25,440 --> 00:28:28,080
Speaker 1: I probably need to bulk up on the power a

610
00:28:28,119 --> 00:28:30,520
Speaker 1: little bit more if I'm that's just my personal feeling.

611
00:28:30,560 --> 00:28:33,320
Speaker 1: If I am gonna end up taking a guy like

612
00:28:33,400 --> 00:28:37,080
Speaker 1: Luisa Rise, which is just a bit risky, there are

613
00:28:37,160 --> 00:28:42,360
Speaker 1: quite a few players I like here. I don't oh Man,

614
00:28:42,400 --> 00:28:43,720
Speaker 1: all right, I'm gonna see if I can slip a

615
00:28:43,720 --> 00:28:46,600
Speaker 1: guy by. I'm gonna take a closer. I'm gonna take

616
00:28:47,080 --> 00:28:49,680
Speaker 1: Pete Fairbanks here. I needed a second closer. We got

617
00:28:49,680 --> 00:28:52,080
Speaker 1: two RP spots. I'm gonna play a risk to see

618
00:28:52,120 --> 00:28:53,720
Speaker 1: if I can get my guy to fall back to me.

619
00:28:53,800 --> 00:28:57,040
Speaker 1: So we'll see if it ends up happening. Kirby Gates, Kakuchi,

620
00:28:57,080 --> 00:28:59,440
Speaker 1: this is probably gonna be a relatively reliever round. Joe,

621
00:28:59,440 --> 00:29:00,640
Speaker 1: what are you thinking about doing here?

622
00:29:00,680 --> 00:29:03,959
Speaker 2: In round fourteen, I'm gonna take a bit of a chance,

623
00:29:04,120 --> 00:29:07,400
Speaker 2: but I'm gonna go Spencer Strider fifth sp At this

624
00:29:07,480 --> 00:29:10,320
Speaker 2: point of the draft, I know it's risky. I know

625
00:29:10,360 --> 00:29:13,600
Speaker 2: it's risky, but I think especially in leagues where you

626
00:29:13,600 --> 00:29:15,320
Speaker 2: guys are going to have IL spots, which is the

627
00:29:15,360 --> 00:29:18,360
Speaker 2: majority of people play in leagues with IL spots. At

628
00:29:18,360 --> 00:29:20,120
Speaker 2: that point of the draft, Okay, you got to stick

629
00:29:20,160 --> 00:29:22,280
Speaker 2: them on the shelf for a month, even two months,

630
00:29:22,400 --> 00:29:24,040
Speaker 2: you pick up somebody else and then maybe you get

631
00:29:24,040 --> 00:29:27,040
Speaker 2: four months of Spencer Stryder. I pick one fifty one sixty.

632
00:29:28,040 --> 00:29:29,560
Speaker 2: I kind of love it, to be honest, even though

633
00:29:29,640 --> 00:29:33,280
Speaker 2: I don't say that it's without its risks. I like that.

634
00:29:33,800 --> 00:29:36,520
Speaker 1: Friends, we're already talking about behind the scenes, we're talking

657
00:30:40,160 --> 00:30:46,160
Speaker 1: Looks like I am up This round went Pepio, manaia Ohapi,

658
00:30:46,280 --> 00:30:51,840
Speaker 1: Johannio Springer, Lane, Thomas Lao, Josh Low, Langaliers Burlson, and

659
00:30:51,960 --> 00:30:56,280
Speaker 1: Real Muto. You took mister Josh Low. Pretty good combination speed,

660
00:30:56,880 --> 00:31:00,480
Speaker 1: not pizza hut taco bell, but you know, speed and power. Josh,

661
00:31:01,120 --> 00:31:03,440
Speaker 1: Did he fill out a positional need of outfield for you?

662
00:31:03,480 --> 00:31:04,360
Speaker 1: Were you low on outfield?

663
00:31:04,480 --> 00:31:07,080
Speaker 2: He filled out a categorical need for me. He's my

664
00:31:07,120 --> 00:31:10,800
Speaker 2: fourth outfielder. But speed, I've I mean, I'm going to

665
00:31:10,840 --> 00:31:14,280
Speaker 2: probably handily be at the top of the power projections

666
00:31:14,320 --> 00:31:18,360
Speaker 2: with Walker Seeger, Jay ram Alvarez, a Zuki Green. But

667
00:31:18,840 --> 00:31:21,280
Speaker 2: the stolen bases of those guys I just mentioned there's

668
00:31:21,320 --> 00:31:24,840
Speaker 2: a lot of maybe not zeros, but really low numbers,

669
00:31:24,840 --> 00:31:26,160
Speaker 2: and I think I need a guy who has the

670
00:31:26,200 --> 00:31:29,000
Speaker 2: potential for thirty five forty steals and you get the

671
00:31:29,080 --> 00:31:32,040
Speaker 2: huge park upgrade coming this year as well for those

672
00:31:32,160 --> 00:31:35,200
Speaker 2: raised bats. So I love me some Josh Low. If

673
00:31:35,200 --> 00:31:37,080
Speaker 2: you're pushing pick two hundred, for sure.

674
00:31:37,200 --> 00:31:39,520
Speaker 1: I think it's like a killer Bylow. So the guy

675
00:31:39,560 --> 00:31:41,640
Speaker 1: wanted to fall back Louise Heel. I know people are

676
00:31:41,640 --> 00:31:43,800
Speaker 1: weird about Louis Heel. They didn't want to trade him.

677
00:31:44,280 --> 00:31:47,360
Speaker 1: He is still considered one of their top pitchers. He

678
00:31:47,400 --> 00:31:49,719
Speaker 1: gets to move down the rotation. He's going to get

679
00:31:49,760 --> 00:31:52,520
Speaker 1: to push more innings this year. I think Louis Heel's

680
00:31:52,560 --> 00:31:54,560
Speaker 1: in a great spot, especially for strikeouts. I got a

681
00:31:54,560 --> 00:31:56,920
Speaker 1: good core of starting pitchers that he's like my SP

682
00:31:57,040 --> 00:31:59,080
Speaker 1: five or six. I really wanted him to push back,

683
00:31:59,120 --> 00:32:02,280
Speaker 1: and I want all the shares of Tyler O'Neal I

684
00:32:02,280 --> 00:32:06,520
Speaker 1: can get Baltimore Oriole Right handed hitters are going to

685
00:32:06,560 --> 00:32:09,720
Speaker 1: have an increase this year. How about a thirty plus

686
00:32:09,760 --> 00:32:12,600
Speaker 1: home run guy who talked about in an interview. Tyler

687
00:32:12,600 --> 00:32:16,760
Speaker 1: O'Neal mentioned recently that he wouldn't have signed with Baltimore.

688
00:32:16,800 --> 00:32:19,760
Speaker 1: He didn't even consider Baltimore until they move those dimensions.

689
00:32:20,040 --> 00:32:23,480
Speaker 1: Analytical hitter understands who he is gonna pull that ball

690
00:32:23,600 --> 00:32:26,760
Speaker 1: more thirty five plus Homer. I mean, this is a

691
00:32:26,840 --> 00:32:28,640
Speaker 1: huge power potential. Might not even show up in the

692
00:32:28,680 --> 00:32:32,520
Speaker 1: projections right now. He's my fourth outfielder. Love getting Tyler

693
00:32:32,560 --> 00:32:35,040
Speaker 1: O'Neil here, because, like I said before in my construction,

694
00:32:35,960 --> 00:32:37,880
Speaker 1: I don't love Louis. I'm not a big Louis Riis guy,

695
00:32:38,720 --> 00:32:41,080
Speaker 1: and he does hurt you in some aspects. But if

696
00:32:41,120 --> 00:32:43,960
Speaker 1: I can stack up some more power, I can kind

697
00:32:43,960 --> 00:32:45,800
Speaker 1: of mitigate what he takes away from me because I

698
00:32:45,800 --> 00:32:48,400
Speaker 1: have elite speed and I'm still building in some good power.

699
00:32:48,400 --> 00:32:51,520
Speaker 1: I need that batting average there. Joey, Joe, you ended

700
00:32:51,600 --> 00:32:54,200
Speaker 1: up this pass round taking Zach Eflin. We also had

701
00:32:54,520 --> 00:32:59,120
Speaker 1: Alexis Diaz, Stevenson, Copeck, Kowser, Rafaela love that pick, Mayor went,

702
00:32:59,200 --> 00:33:02,800
Speaker 1: Jimenez and Rob Ray, Rangifo and Boz talk to us

703
00:33:02,800 --> 00:33:04,560
Speaker 1: about your pick and what you're looking at doing coming up.

704
00:33:04,600 --> 00:33:07,280
Speaker 1: Are you getting into the territory of like you've got

705
00:33:07,280 --> 00:33:09,320
Speaker 1: some positional needs? You got to feel pretty quick here.

706
00:33:09,440 --> 00:33:11,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, second base is one that I don't usually like

707
00:33:11,680 --> 00:33:14,520
Speaker 2: to wait this late on, but that's generally speaking in

708
00:33:14,560 --> 00:33:17,000
Speaker 2: a fifteen team context. In a twelve team er, there's

709
00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:19,920
Speaker 2: still some options I shouldn't wait too too far. But

710
00:33:20,400 --> 00:33:22,640
Speaker 2: that's the next thing that really needs to be taken

711
00:33:22,680 --> 00:33:25,520
Speaker 2: care of. The Zach Eflin pick. For anybody who's followed

712
00:33:25,560 --> 00:33:27,800
Speaker 2: me for the last few years knows that I have

713
00:33:27,840 --> 00:33:29,960
Speaker 2: an irrational love of Zach Efflin. I think it's the

714
00:33:29,960 --> 00:33:34,080
Speaker 2: whip you can get from him. Now the park, the

715
00:33:34,120 --> 00:33:36,520
Speaker 2: ball coming in in Baltimore is not my favorite thing,

716
00:33:36,520 --> 00:33:38,080
Speaker 2: but I don't think it hurts him too too much,

717
00:33:38,720 --> 00:33:40,360
Speaker 2: and I think that he is another guy that should

718
00:33:40,360 --> 00:33:42,280
Speaker 2: be going a little bit earlier than he is. One

719
00:33:42,360 --> 00:33:45,160
Speaker 2: eighties feels too late for Zach Eflin. He was disappointing

720
00:33:45,200 --> 00:33:47,080
Speaker 2: last year because of what he did in twenty twenty three,

721
00:33:47,120 --> 00:33:48,920
Speaker 2: but if you look at the numbers, they're still very

722
00:33:49,040 --> 00:33:49,840
Speaker 2: very good.

723
00:33:50,800 --> 00:33:53,680
Speaker 1: All right, eure up. We had Tolia, we had Tanner,

724
00:33:53,720 --> 00:33:57,400
Speaker 1: Scott go, Chris Sanchez. I love that Tolia pick. Some absurd,

725
00:33:57,640 --> 00:34:01,040
Speaker 1: absurd hard hit numbers and hitting in Colorado also not

726
00:34:01,120 --> 00:34:05,160
Speaker 1: some great. Brenton Doyle has some of the heaviest home

727
00:34:05,240 --> 00:34:07,840
Speaker 1: road splits, which gets you worried about hitters. Sometimes. We

728
00:34:07,880 --> 00:34:10,000
Speaker 1: didn't really see that with Tolio. There's like forty plus

729
00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:14,040
Speaker 1: home run potential with him, but not to compare necessarily too.

730
00:34:14,040 --> 00:34:16,200
Speaker 1: But like Doyle was like two hundred on the road

731
00:34:16,239 --> 00:34:18,480
Speaker 1: and three hundred at home if I remember correct, They

732
00:34:18,480 --> 00:34:21,080
Speaker 1: don't believe Tolia had as extreme home road splits. So

733
00:34:21,280 --> 00:34:23,000
Speaker 1: just throwing that out there that I actually really love

734
00:34:23,040 --> 00:34:25,919
Speaker 1: that as like a sneaky pick. In Tolia, you ended

735
00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:29,040
Speaker 1: up going with who did you? Oh, you went with

736
00:34:29,120 --> 00:34:32,799
Speaker 1: Zach Gelloff. We had Rainaldo Edmund and Boden Francis Win.

737
00:34:32,880 --> 00:34:35,640
Speaker 1: That's a pretty fun pick. Are you buying the bounce

738
00:34:35,719 --> 00:34:38,399
Speaker 1: back of Galoff? I guess around two hundred, it's kind

739
00:34:38,400 --> 00:34:39,080
Speaker 1: of easier to buy.

740
00:34:39,160 --> 00:34:42,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, still needing steals, still needing a second basement with

741
00:34:42,360 --> 00:34:46,000
Speaker 2: the park up grade. I mean, I think it's a

742
00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:49,480
Speaker 2: good buy back opportunity for Gelloff. Not my favorite target

743
00:34:49,520 --> 00:34:53,200
Speaker 2: as a starting second baseman, but considering I kind of

744
00:34:53,200 --> 00:34:55,160
Speaker 2: messed up and left that one a little bit too long,

745
00:34:55,440 --> 00:34:57,000
Speaker 2: I'll take it. I will say, though, I'm going to

746
00:34:57,040 --> 00:34:59,439
Speaker 2: be like the technology is going to hate my draft

747
00:34:59,440 --> 00:35:01,240
Speaker 2: because it's like three picks in a row and labeled

748
00:35:01,239 --> 00:35:03,359
Speaker 2: as reaches. So I'm on the lookout for eleventh out

749
00:35:03,360 --> 00:35:04,680
Speaker 2: of twelfth place in this year.

750
00:35:04,960 --> 00:35:07,480
Speaker 1: Well again I will. I'll say, like you guys all

751
00:35:07,600 --> 00:35:10,560
Speaker 1: can't come into the multi user interface that we're doing

752
00:35:10,560 --> 00:35:12,440
Speaker 1: here where you can like add all these other people,

753
00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:15,160
Speaker 1: so you will experience if you do the draft simulator,

754
00:35:15,800 --> 00:35:19,240
Speaker 1: the ranks of especially the consensus ranks that are being posted,

755
00:35:19,280 --> 00:35:21,960
Speaker 1: they're still coming up, so as they go the reaches

756
00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:24,359
Speaker 1: will start differentiating. You know, some of those reaches are

757
00:35:24,360 --> 00:35:26,200
Speaker 1: going to be powered by like Mayor and Kirby and

758
00:35:26,239 --> 00:35:29,200
Speaker 1: myself and Scott White posted his because I have a

759
00:35:29,200 --> 00:35:32,279
Speaker 1: few as well. I just took Esock Parades and that

760
00:35:32,600 --> 00:35:35,520
Speaker 1: definitely could seem like a reach. Give me him back

761
00:35:35,560 --> 00:35:38,880
Speaker 1: in Houston like Cubs, eh, But now you go and

762
00:35:38,880 --> 00:35:41,239
Speaker 1: put me in a low left field for a guy.

763
00:35:41,400 --> 00:35:44,800
Speaker 1: I mean, that's how Alex Bregman lived. Alex Bregman lived

764
00:35:45,000 --> 00:35:47,560
Speaker 1: by pulled fly balls, get it up in the air,

765
00:35:47,560 --> 00:35:50,680
Speaker 1: big launch angles. That's the only way that esoch Prates lives.

766
00:35:50,680 --> 00:35:52,440
Speaker 1: And he did it in Tampa Bay, couldn't do it

767
00:35:52,480 --> 00:35:55,399
Speaker 1: in Chicago. So I'm back. I just took him and

768
00:35:55,480 --> 00:35:58,320
Speaker 1: then I followed him up with Dansby Swanson, who I

769
00:35:58,360 --> 00:35:59,920
Speaker 1: get to put in middle endfield, Not that I'm a

770
00:36:00,120 --> 00:36:03,600
Speaker 1: necessarily enamored, but solid twenty ten guy that I can

771
00:36:03,640 --> 00:36:06,680
Speaker 1: put in my middle infield and not having to be

772
00:36:06,719 --> 00:36:09,920
Speaker 1: a starter, just trying to round out this offense overall.

773
00:36:09,960 --> 00:36:11,000
Speaker 1: What do you think about Esac?

774
00:36:11,840 --> 00:36:14,399
Speaker 2: I think it's funny that the Astros traded a top

775
00:36:14,480 --> 00:36:17,440
Speaker 2: ten player in baseball for a guy who just specifically

776
00:36:17,440 --> 00:36:20,359
Speaker 2: fits into their ballpark. I think that's kind of like

777
00:36:20,400 --> 00:36:23,279
Speaker 2: a bizarre move for them to make because Parades is

778
00:36:23,280 --> 00:36:26,279
Speaker 2: an okay player, but as kind of I mean, the

779
00:36:26,320 --> 00:36:28,839
Speaker 2: prospect they got back is supposed to be fantastic as well.

780
00:36:29,160 --> 00:36:29,880
Speaker 1: Cam Smith is.

781
00:36:30,080 --> 00:36:30,279
Speaker 2: Yeah.

782
00:36:30,360 --> 00:36:33,080
Speaker 1: Cam Smith is like absolutely no joke, big, big, hard

783
00:36:33,080 --> 00:36:36,040
Speaker 1: to hit stuff. He hit over three hundred in his debut,

784
00:36:36,360 --> 00:36:38,880
Speaker 1: Homers were starting to crush, great college bat, had some

785
00:36:38,920 --> 00:36:40,920
Speaker 1: swing and mis issues. Looked like that was kind of fixed.

786
00:36:41,080 --> 00:36:44,920
Speaker 1: Huge analytical team. So Cam Smith was a huge get

787
00:36:46,280 --> 00:36:49,279
Speaker 1: in a nutshell to Tucker. It doesn't make sense, but

788
00:36:49,320 --> 00:36:50,799
Speaker 1: you have to remember Tucker's on a one year deal,

789
00:36:50,840 --> 00:36:52,279
Speaker 1: so that's why it did. They got like a top

790
00:36:52,400 --> 00:36:54,960
Speaker 1: ish prospect and they got a player that literally will

791
00:36:55,040 --> 00:36:56,480
Speaker 1: thrive where they play.

792
00:36:56,560 --> 00:36:59,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, Parides could hit thirty home runs like pretty easily,

793
00:36:59,200 --> 00:37:00,600
Speaker 2: and even last year was a bit of a down.

794
00:37:00,680 --> 00:37:02,120
Speaker 2: I mean, it looks like more of a down here

795
00:37:02,120 --> 00:37:04,560
Speaker 2: because of once you got Chicago, he didn't really do anything.

796
00:37:05,000 --> 00:37:08,400
Speaker 2: Still Salid WRC plus it was like one ten range

797
00:37:08,440 --> 00:37:10,480
Speaker 2: or so. He's still much better than league average. I

798
00:37:10,520 --> 00:37:12,560
Speaker 2: think he's a thirty home run bat. It's just kind

799
00:37:12,600 --> 00:37:14,200
Speaker 2: of weird the way the teams are doing things, Like

800
00:37:14,200 --> 00:37:16,280
Speaker 2: they bring in Kyle Tucker and then they trade Bellinger

801
00:37:16,320 --> 00:37:18,160
Speaker 2: immediately after. Like you'd figure you'd get one year of

802
00:37:18,200 --> 00:37:20,560
Speaker 2: bell or one year of Tucker. You'd want to have

803
00:37:20,760 --> 00:37:23,880
Speaker 2: Bellinger there as well instead of trading him for you know,

804
00:37:23,960 --> 00:37:26,880
Speaker 2: a minor league reliever essentially. But weird stuff going on.

805
00:37:26,960 --> 00:37:29,399
Speaker 2: Until teams have fully completed their moves, you never really

806
00:37:29,480 --> 00:37:30,080
Speaker 2: know what they're up to.

807
00:37:31,000 --> 00:37:33,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, well you're up right now. The last couple picks

808
00:37:33,760 --> 00:37:37,760
Speaker 1: last round we had after Dansby, Jock Paania, Kerry Carpenter,

809
00:37:38,160 --> 00:37:40,719
Speaker 1: you took Bryson Stott, Brandon Fott went in the low

810
00:37:40,760 --> 00:37:46,799
Speaker 1: two hundreds, poor Hodge, Diaz Woodruff, Shanwell and who was

811
00:37:47,080 --> 00:37:49,480
Speaker 1: our last one? The system moved out to e Valdi

812
00:37:49,719 --> 00:37:51,319
Speaker 1: and then we started the next round ten Or Haw

813
00:37:51,680 --> 00:37:54,040
Speaker 1: Hellyo Ramos. That was when I was looking at David Bednar,

814
00:37:54,120 --> 00:37:59,960
Speaker 1: Taj Bradley, Jansen, Parker Meadows, right before you, Jake McCarthy, Estevez, Glabor, Torres, McKenzie.

815
00:38:00,360 --> 00:38:03,360
Speaker 1: I'm up a boy. Was I looking at Parker Meadows

816
00:38:03,360 --> 00:38:04,840
Speaker 1: And I don't know if you were at all before

817
00:38:04,880 --> 00:38:06,200
Speaker 1: taking Jake McCarthy.

818
00:38:06,560 --> 00:38:09,480
Speaker 2: No, I'm still kind of I think with McCarthy. Now,

819
00:38:09,480 --> 00:38:13,200
Speaker 2: I've completed the speed that I needed to get. I

820
00:38:13,239 --> 00:38:15,480
Speaker 2: got Stot, I got Gellof, I got McCarthy, I got

821
00:38:15,560 --> 00:38:18,640
Speaker 2: Lao kind of makes up for the power heavy build. Initially,

822
00:38:18,680 --> 00:38:20,920
Speaker 2: I wasn't looking at Meadows, but I do like Parker

823
00:38:20,920 --> 00:38:22,919
Speaker 2: Meadows quite a bit. And I also wonder just hearing

824
00:38:22,960 --> 00:38:25,040
Speaker 2: the name for ever going to see Austin Meadows again.

825
00:38:25,080 --> 00:38:26,319
Speaker 2: I wonder if he's going to be a guy that

826
00:38:26,360 --> 00:38:27,879
Speaker 2: pops out of the scene or if we're just kind

827
00:38:27,880 --> 00:38:30,520
Speaker 2: of seeing the last of him. At this point, it

828
00:38:30,600 --> 00:38:31,120
Speaker 2: feels like.

829
00:38:31,080 --> 00:38:33,640
Speaker 1: We I don't know if we've seen the last, but

830
00:38:33,719 --> 00:38:37,600
Speaker 1: it feels like we're in the final stages of seeing

831
00:38:37,600 --> 00:38:39,239
Speaker 1: the last. I'm gonna go with this is gonna be

832
00:38:39,360 --> 00:38:42,400
Speaker 1: util play Trevor story. You just got to stay healthy.

833
00:38:42,440 --> 00:38:44,200
Speaker 1: But it's a twenty twenty play. I get him around

834
00:38:44,239 --> 00:38:47,279
Speaker 1: two thirty. I love that for my util and I've

835
00:38:47,320 --> 00:38:49,239
Speaker 1: also created some flexibility. I just want to throw out

836
00:38:49,239 --> 00:38:52,400
Speaker 1: to you guys that member Onio Cruz qualifies at outfield.

837
00:38:52,400 --> 00:38:54,640
Speaker 1: In short, I have an outfield spot open. I could

838
00:38:54,640 --> 00:38:57,040
Speaker 1: move Cruise to outfield, and now I have Dansby Swanson

839
00:38:57,080 --> 00:38:59,240
Speaker 1: and Trevor's story at short and middle. So that little

840
00:38:59,239 --> 00:39:02,640
Speaker 1: tiny bit of flex position flexibility I get down with that.

841
00:39:02,760 --> 00:39:05,920
Speaker 1: I can definitely get down with that. I have left

842
00:39:06,000 --> 00:39:09,680
Speaker 1: a catcher, I've got technically an outfielder, and I have

843
00:39:09,800 --> 00:39:12,640
Speaker 1: one pitching spot. So those are my last couple spots

844
00:39:12,640 --> 00:39:14,480
Speaker 1: that I've got to fill out here. There's quite a

845
00:39:14,520 --> 00:39:17,320
Speaker 1: few interesting pitchers that are still sitting on the board.

846
00:39:17,320 --> 00:39:20,239
Speaker 1: I don't know if I feel like locked in that

847
00:39:20,280 --> 00:39:22,759
Speaker 1: I need to get any of them. I'm going to

848
00:39:22,880 --> 00:39:27,439
Speaker 1: jump in take my outfielder. I'm a sucker. I'm gonna

849
00:39:27,440 --> 00:39:31,120
Speaker 1: take Byron Buxton two thirty playing in the outfield, hopefully

850
00:39:31,160 --> 00:39:33,120
Speaker 1: a bounce back. I don't love any of the outfielders

851
00:39:33,200 --> 00:39:36,160
Speaker 1: right here, but I just I kind of can't quit him.

852
00:39:36,200 --> 00:39:38,560
Speaker 1: That's my fifth outfielder, easily expendable. So I've got two

853
00:39:38,600 --> 00:39:42,360
Speaker 1: more spots. I'll have the catcher and last spot to

854
00:39:42,400 --> 00:39:43,760
Speaker 1: fill out. What do you have left to fill?

855
00:39:44,640 --> 00:39:46,840
Speaker 2: So just a Jung Hu Lee who is going to

856
00:39:46,880 --> 00:39:51,280
Speaker 2: function as a fifth outfielders last utility bat. Him and McCarthy,

857
00:39:51,280 --> 00:39:53,920
Speaker 2: however you want to arrange them, Let's call him the

858
00:39:54,040 --> 00:39:56,600
Speaker 2: utility bat. So I have a corner infield spot and

859
00:39:56,640 --> 00:39:58,480
Speaker 2: a pitching spot left at this point.

860
00:39:59,600 --> 00:40:02,520
Speaker 1: All right, So Mike, let's see we just had Kelly Kirby.

861
00:40:02,560 --> 00:40:05,760
Speaker 1: Go Jeffrey Springs, who was traded to the A's again.

862
00:40:05,840 --> 00:40:08,560
Speaker 1: Ballpark might not be like the worst thing in the world.

863
00:40:08,600 --> 00:40:11,080
Speaker 1: Kind of love Jeffrey Springs, but don't love the destination

864
00:40:11,120 --> 00:40:13,920
Speaker 1: a whole bunch. Mike Mayor just went Nolan Jones. He's

865
00:40:13,960 --> 00:40:16,279
Speaker 1: on the clock for the last round. I guess this

866
00:40:16,400 --> 00:40:18,160
Speaker 1: is twenty two. I thought it was twenty one rounds.

867
00:40:19,560 --> 00:40:23,040
Speaker 1: He just took. Jorgees Solaire was one I was also

868
00:40:23,160 --> 00:40:26,160
Speaker 1: looking at. So Jorgees Silaire, Austin Wells, Cutter, Crawford. Kelly's

869
00:40:26,200 --> 00:40:28,719
Speaker 1: on the clock. You are up, and you're gonna have

870
00:40:28,800 --> 00:40:31,400
Speaker 1: your final two picks coming up here. You're on the

871
00:40:31,400 --> 00:40:33,879
Speaker 1: clock now, Joe after Kelly took, Mike kel Garcia, Tyler

872
00:40:33,920 --> 00:40:36,040
Speaker 1: Fitzgerald went, and Clark Schmidt.

873
00:40:37,360 --> 00:40:39,319
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean Josh Young was who I wanted in

874
00:40:39,320 --> 00:40:43,480
Speaker 2: that final that final corner spot there, that's a little disappointing.

875
00:40:44,800 --> 00:40:46,160
Speaker 2: So I need to do a little bit of a

876
00:40:46,200 --> 00:40:48,640
Speaker 2: pivot here and I might shoot for some upside with

877
00:40:48,760 --> 00:40:52,800
Speaker 2: Kyle Manzardo. It looks like they are orchestrating things so

878
00:40:52,880 --> 00:40:54,719
Speaker 2: that he will have a role. That's why they got

879
00:40:54,840 --> 00:40:57,680
Speaker 2: rid of Spencer Horwitz. I think right after they acquired

880
00:40:57,719 --> 00:40:59,640
Speaker 2: him they didn't want to further clog up first base.

881
00:40:59,800 --> 00:41:03,000
Speaker 2: I think that Mansarto especially, I think it's September hit

882
00:41:03,000 --> 00:41:04,680
Speaker 2: like two eighty with five home runs, like you seem

883
00:41:04,680 --> 00:41:07,080
Speaker 2: to figure things out. Looks like he's gonna play every day,

884
00:41:07,160 --> 00:41:09,960
Speaker 2: So I like that as a utility spot, our corner

885
00:41:10,000 --> 00:41:12,439
Speaker 2: infield spot. I guess, yeah, I like that.

886
00:41:12,600 --> 00:41:16,400
Speaker 1: I am going to yeah, we'll do this, and I

887
00:41:16,440 --> 00:41:19,360
Speaker 1: should take a young guy out here. We're going to

888
00:41:19,400 --> 00:41:22,320
Speaker 1: tap Jackson Job, who I could cheat in the relief

889
00:41:22,360 --> 00:41:24,799
Speaker 1: pitching spot if I end up wanting to looks like

890
00:41:25,120 --> 00:41:27,400
Speaker 1: I think early projections around one hundred and forty innings

891
00:41:27,400 --> 00:41:29,400
Speaker 1: of the Tigers. I really love that. My last spot's

892
00:41:29,400 --> 00:41:33,200
Speaker 1: a catcher. Love Sean Murphy, Travis Darnault out of there.

893
00:41:33,560 --> 00:41:35,960
Speaker 1: Probably Drake Baldwin going to be in there. So I'll

894
00:41:35,960 --> 00:41:38,080
Speaker 1: take that high powered offense. Give me a catcher and

895
00:41:38,080 --> 00:41:40,319
Speaker 1: a high powered offense. That's my final pick for my

896
00:41:40,360 --> 00:41:43,879
Speaker 1: final construction. After these last couple of picks, we are

897
00:41:43,920 --> 00:41:46,000
Speaker 1: going to jump over just for a couple of minutes

898
00:41:46,000 --> 00:41:48,319
Speaker 1: when we are going to see the system give us

899
00:41:48,520 --> 00:41:51,440
Speaker 1: the grades. Which again that's something that's I it's my

900
00:41:51,480 --> 00:41:54,359
Speaker 1: one of my personal favorites about this where it'll give

901
00:41:54,400 --> 00:41:57,040
Speaker 1: you some insights on your teams. You can see experts

902
00:41:57,040 --> 00:42:00,000
Speaker 1: who love or dislike yours, and especially as the experts

903
00:42:00,040 --> 00:42:02,280
Speaker 1: come on. It's really one of my absolute favorite things.

904
00:42:02,360 --> 00:42:04,919
Speaker 1: And the big key at this point is will I

905
00:42:05,000 --> 00:42:07,719
Speaker 1: love my own draft the most because my ranks are

906
00:42:07,760 --> 00:42:10,080
Speaker 1: up there. That's going to be the big key to

907
00:42:10,160 --> 00:42:13,080
Speaker 1: this whole bad boy oh who had that sneaky pick?

908
00:42:13,120 --> 00:42:16,560
Speaker 1: Team five just took Matt Shaw super sneaky pick. Saw

909
00:42:16,560 --> 00:42:19,239
Speaker 1: he went inside the top two hundred of a December NFBC.

910
00:42:19,600 --> 00:42:22,480
Speaker 1: Looks like he's locked into that job. Shout out to

911
00:42:22,560 --> 00:42:25,160
Speaker 1: that pick. That's very good. System. Hated my draft though,

912
00:42:25,719 --> 00:42:28,040
Speaker 1: I ended up getting like a C grade here. So

913
00:42:28,760 --> 00:42:32,520
Speaker 1: we'll do a quick analysis of our own teams. Oh man,

914
00:42:32,560 --> 00:42:36,640
Speaker 1: what a brutal win here. Coming in the bottom is

915
00:42:36,800 --> 00:42:40,239
Speaker 1: me Chris Welsh at the very bitty bottom. Joe you

916
00:42:40,320 --> 00:42:44,360
Speaker 1: came in at seven, Kelly Kirby at three. Mike Mayor.

917
00:42:44,560 --> 00:42:47,200
Speaker 1: Mike Mayor won the draft behind the scenes too, we'd

918
00:42:47,200 --> 00:42:50,920
Speaker 1: actually done this other thing and Kelly won it, and

919
00:42:51,040 --> 00:42:52,919
Speaker 1: Kelly was like, oh great, I win and I'm out.

920
00:42:52,960 --> 00:42:55,640
Speaker 1: And now Mike Mayor ends up winning the team.

921
00:42:56,880 --> 00:42:59,200
Speaker 2: He scored perfect. He scored one hundred.

922
00:43:00,719 --> 00:43:04,799
Speaker 1: One thousand percent. It's loved by my community. Team. Let's

923
00:43:04,800 --> 00:43:08,279
Speaker 1: look at yours, Joey, your insights. You pull up your

924
00:43:08,280 --> 00:43:10,279
Speaker 1: team because we'll give you. I'm going to just give

925
00:43:10,320 --> 00:43:13,200
Speaker 1: out what the roster construction is of your team. The

926
00:43:13,360 --> 00:43:16,320
Speaker 1: quick insights, you were top four in stolen based average

927
00:43:16,360 --> 00:43:19,680
Speaker 1: and eer. When we're looking at your team, you know

928
00:43:19,760 --> 00:43:21,520
Speaker 1: it had a couple of reaches. I wouldn't worry about

929
00:43:21,520 --> 00:43:24,440
Speaker 1: the reaches right now. It did say you drafted one

930
00:43:24,480 --> 00:43:26,600
Speaker 1: player in the top three of their position. That was

931
00:43:26,640 --> 00:43:30,880
Speaker 1: Josier Ramirez, Joe Pisa Pia on the expert consensus ranks,

932
00:43:31,000 --> 00:43:35,320
Speaker 1: loved you the most. Mike Mayer also loved, and I

933
00:43:35,400 --> 00:43:38,279
Speaker 1: also loved. Who did not love is Kelly Kirby and

934
00:43:38,280 --> 00:43:41,040
Speaker 1: Andy Barns from Yahoo. So those are some dislikes on

935
00:43:41,080 --> 00:43:43,560
Speaker 1: your team, though I guess we don't have the grete

936
00:43:43,600 --> 00:43:46,200
Speaker 1: up yet. That'll be coming. I was curious that, like

937
00:43:46,239 --> 00:43:49,359
Speaker 1: what the overall scoring system of it, let's hear your team,

938
00:43:49,440 --> 00:43:52,359
Speaker 1: Let's hear what the construction of your team ended up being.

939
00:43:53,719 --> 00:43:57,760
Speaker 2: So I started Jose Ramirez, Jordan Alvarez, and Corey Seeger

940
00:43:57,920 --> 00:44:00,480
Speaker 2: as the offensive base, went with Cole Ray Baigans and

941
00:44:00,520 --> 00:44:03,440
Speaker 2: Devin Williams as the next two picks, and then Yamamoto,

942
00:44:03,880 --> 00:44:08,080
Speaker 2: Joan Duran, Christian Walker followed that up with Shane McClanahan,

943
00:44:08,320 --> 00:44:13,040
Speaker 2: Saya Suzuki, Riley Green, Wilson Contrerez who is catcher eligible

944
00:44:13,080 --> 00:44:15,560
Speaker 2: that will be playing first base. So like that Jared

945
00:44:15,640 --> 00:44:19,360
Speaker 2: Jones in the thirteenth round, followed by Spencer Strider, Josh Lowe,

946
00:44:19,719 --> 00:44:23,360
Speaker 2: Zach Eflin, and then another Zach and Geloff, Bryson Stott,

947
00:44:23,440 --> 00:44:26,359
Speaker 2: Jake McCarthy, Jung Hu Lee, Kyle Manzardo and then I

948
00:44:26,480 --> 00:44:28,000
Speaker 2: ended out with DJ Hurts.

949
00:44:29,280 --> 00:44:32,080
Speaker 1: So let me ask you your favorite and least favorite

950
00:44:32,680 --> 00:44:35,680
Speaker 1: pick or part of this, like really early construction, because

951
00:44:35,719 --> 00:44:39,239
Speaker 1: I look at this, I love your infield. I kind

952
00:44:39,239 --> 00:44:42,319
Speaker 1: of like the late value of Bryson Stott. I think

953
00:44:42,320 --> 00:44:46,040
Speaker 1: that's ridiculous. Your outfield, I think is really strong, and

954
00:44:46,080 --> 00:44:48,320
Speaker 1: I think that's something that fades with a lot of people.

955
00:44:48,680 --> 00:44:51,880
Speaker 1: You got your closers, which with a good investment, I

956
00:44:51,960 --> 00:44:54,360
Speaker 1: think you did a great job of values on you have.

957
00:44:54,440 --> 00:44:57,400
Speaker 1: You have some injury risk though on your pitchers. You

958
00:44:57,400 --> 00:45:02,080
Speaker 1: know mcclanahemy Yamamoto, Jared Jones, you actually have an incredibly

959
00:45:02,200 --> 00:45:06,840
Speaker 1: risky high It's a low floor high upside. I don't

960
00:45:07,000 --> 00:45:11,760
Speaker 1: love your corner middle of Kyle Manzarto and Gelloff, especially

961
00:45:11,760 --> 00:45:14,080
Speaker 1: in the twelve Man. I think that kind of struggled.

962
00:45:14,120 --> 00:45:16,120
Speaker 1: But everything is give and take, like you can't nothing

963
00:45:16,400 --> 00:45:18,680
Speaker 1: can be all perfect. So that's how I kind of

964
00:45:18,719 --> 00:45:23,719
Speaker 1: foresee it. I would probably wait your pitcher injuries as

965
00:45:23,760 --> 00:45:26,640
Speaker 1: a much bigger negative if I had to pick a negative.

966
00:45:26,960 --> 00:45:30,120
Speaker 1: While saying that, I thought your offensive construction, besides that

967
00:45:30,160 --> 00:45:33,800
Speaker 1: corner middle was like really strong, particularly with a couple picks,

968
00:45:33,800 --> 00:45:36,600
Speaker 1: but what's your favorite let's say pick and least favorite

969
00:45:36,600 --> 00:45:37,800
Speaker 1: pick or part of the construction.

970
00:45:38,560 --> 00:45:41,200
Speaker 2: I think the favorite has to be Wilson Contrerez and

971
00:45:41,239 --> 00:45:44,560
Speaker 2: say is Suzuki, Like those guys are big targets of mine.

972
00:45:45,160 --> 00:45:48,719
Speaker 2: Suzuki if he stays healthy, like he is one of

973
00:45:48,719 --> 00:45:51,480
Speaker 2: the best twenty or twenty five hitters in baseball, I

974
00:45:51,520 --> 00:45:55,319
Speaker 2: think he's a five category guy going well after a

975
00:45:55,320 --> 00:45:57,680
Speaker 2: lot of the other ones. And now we've swapped Cody

976
00:45:57,719 --> 00:46:01,600
Speaker 2: Bellinger for Kyle Tucker mentioned Wilson Contreras. He's going to

977
00:46:01,640 --> 00:46:04,000
Speaker 2: be playing first base, So catch your eligible guy that

978
00:46:04,040 --> 00:46:07,080
Speaker 2: you're getting. I love that, probably gonna be playing one

979
00:46:07,120 --> 00:46:09,879
Speaker 2: hundred and thirty five games, hopefully one hundred and forty

980
00:46:09,920 --> 00:46:12,759
Speaker 2: games maybe if things break right. So I love those

981
00:46:12,800 --> 00:46:15,840
Speaker 2: two picks. I got them both later than we're generally seeing.

982
00:46:16,560 --> 00:46:19,799
Speaker 2: The Manzardo and Geloff pairing, I admit, is a little

983
00:46:19,800 --> 00:46:22,799
Speaker 2: bit weak. It's more just shooting for upside, especially with Manzarto,

984
00:46:23,360 --> 00:46:28,279
Speaker 2: and the pitching depth is maybe not the depth, but

985
00:46:28,560 --> 00:46:31,080
Speaker 2: the riskiness of the arms that I took. I can

986
00:46:31,239 --> 00:46:36,040
Speaker 2: understand what you're talking about. McClanahan. I don't know how

987
00:46:36,080 --> 00:46:38,320
Speaker 2: exactly to feel about these guys coming off of Tommy John,

988
00:46:38,880 --> 00:46:41,640
Speaker 2: the mcclanahan's of the world, the alcntras. I feel like

989
00:46:41,640 --> 00:46:45,560
Speaker 2: they're relatively safe. But that's also like maybe there's a

990
00:46:45,560 --> 00:46:47,200
Speaker 2: bananappeal on the floor a couple feet in front of

991
00:46:47,239 --> 00:46:48,160
Speaker 2: me that I'm gonna.

992
00:46:48,040 --> 00:46:50,360
Speaker 1: There's a little bit, you know, I was doing my analysis.

993
00:46:50,520 --> 00:46:52,439
Speaker 1: I'm on starting pitchers right now, and I'm pretty deep

994
00:46:52,440 --> 00:46:55,799
Speaker 1: into it. I love McClanahan more than most people. I

995
00:46:55,880 --> 00:46:58,520
Speaker 1: have for a long time, but there is something startling

996
00:46:58,560 --> 00:47:00,400
Speaker 1: when you're like, Okay, you can't look at his twenty

997
00:47:00,400 --> 00:47:02,719
Speaker 1: four because he didn't pitch. Let's look at twenty twenty three.

998
00:47:03,800 --> 00:47:06,000
Speaker 1: K percentage is down like five percent, you know, like

999
00:47:06,080 --> 00:47:10,040
Speaker 1: it was a dramatically down K percentage. And yes, you

1000
00:47:10,040 --> 00:47:11,920
Speaker 1: could be like all right leading up to that, so

1001
00:47:11,960 --> 00:47:13,520
Speaker 1: like I don't care about like what the second half

1002
00:47:13,600 --> 00:47:15,600
Speaker 1: numbers are because leading up to it, the arm issue

1003
00:47:15,600 --> 00:47:18,000
Speaker 1: was probably going. But the whole year it was like

1004
00:47:18,160 --> 00:47:21,360
Speaker 1: really dramatic decreases. So I am worried about Shane McClanahan

1005
00:47:21,360 --> 00:47:23,520
Speaker 1: a little bit. But that's why I'm saying, like, you know,

1006
00:47:23,640 --> 00:47:27,200
Speaker 1: upside is fun and stuff like that. Way too risky

1007
00:47:27,239 --> 00:47:29,440
Speaker 1: of it, and I don't think like, come February, you

1008
00:47:29,440 --> 00:47:33,040
Speaker 1: would put together this risky of a class of starting pitchers.

1009
00:47:33,200 --> 00:47:35,640
Speaker 2: This is the thing with starting pitchers is right now

1010
00:47:35,719 --> 00:47:37,640
Speaker 2: we're looking at the pool and we're like, oh my god,

1011
00:47:37,760 --> 00:47:39,839
Speaker 2: like there's a lot of arms, and then we're gonna

1012
00:47:39,840 --> 00:47:42,080
Speaker 2: lose fifteen or twenty of them to injury by March.

1013
00:47:42,160 --> 00:47:44,799
Speaker 2: So maybe it'll be McClanahan, maybe it'll be Strider. I

1014
00:47:44,800 --> 00:47:46,920
Speaker 2: mean Strider. Hopefully he doesn't get hurt again by March,

1015
00:47:47,160 --> 00:47:49,080
Speaker 2: but there'll be a couple of guys who get hurt,

1016
00:47:49,120 --> 00:47:52,680
Speaker 2: and you know, the pool be thinned out. So looking

1017
00:47:52,719 --> 00:47:55,279
Speaker 2: at these teams now taking some shots, hoping guys stay

1018
00:47:55,280 --> 00:47:57,000
Speaker 2: healthy by the time it gets to March. Where I'm

1019
00:47:57,040 --> 00:48:00,920
Speaker 2: doing my more expensive main drafts, probably will play it

1020
00:48:00,960 --> 00:48:01,720
Speaker 2: a little bit safer.

1021
00:48:02,560 --> 00:48:04,080
Speaker 1: But the nice thing with a guy like Strider too

1022
00:48:04,160 --> 00:48:05,960
Speaker 1: is it's like a cheaper cost. It's like if you

1023
00:48:06,000 --> 00:48:07,880
Speaker 1: could get a guy like a Schemes, you know, you

1024
00:48:08,200 --> 00:48:10,200
Speaker 1: eat a month and then you get the rest of

1025
00:48:10,200 --> 00:48:13,359
Speaker 1: the year production. If that's like what Strider is, and

1026
00:48:13,480 --> 00:48:15,440
Speaker 1: you are paying the cost, which is outside the top

1027
00:48:15,440 --> 00:48:17,800
Speaker 1: one hundred, it actually is good I like Strider. I

1028
00:48:17,800 --> 00:48:19,320
Speaker 1: actually think Strayder could be a good pick. It's just

1029
00:48:19,360 --> 00:48:22,120
Speaker 1: when you paired it with the amount of hurt pitchers,

1030
00:48:22,160 --> 00:48:25,279
Speaker 1: that's the risk here. So I ranked garbage. I ranked it.

1031
00:48:25,320 --> 00:48:27,560
Speaker 1: Did not like the system of what I put together here.

1032
00:48:27,800 --> 00:48:30,359
Speaker 1: I did say I took I'm going to say two.

1033
00:48:30,520 --> 00:48:33,200
Speaker 1: It's putting Bucks in as a top DH. But Riley

1034
00:48:33,200 --> 00:48:35,760
Speaker 1: and Tarik Skouble, I don't think it's acknowledging a manual

1035
00:48:35,800 --> 00:48:39,439
Speaker 1: Class A because I got multiple positions inside the top

1036
00:48:39,560 --> 00:48:43,040
Speaker 1: of their spot top three projected to be top four

1037
00:48:43,080 --> 00:48:44,960
Speaker 1: in saves. It really didn't like the other stuff. But

1038
00:48:45,000 --> 00:48:48,600
Speaker 1: I will say expert opinion me it love. I love

1039
00:48:48,640 --> 00:48:50,399
Speaker 1: my draft the most, of course I figured I would.

1040
00:48:50,560 --> 00:48:53,160
Speaker 1: Mike Mayer also liked it. Pierre Camu liked it, with

1041
00:48:53,280 --> 00:48:55,880
Speaker 1: James Wood. Andy Barns also did not like mes so

1042
00:48:55,920 --> 00:48:58,000
Speaker 1: Andy is very mad at us right now and a

1043
00:48:58,080 --> 00:48:59,800
Speaker 1: piece of p I hated it. Didn't like Class A,

1044
00:49:00,080 --> 00:49:03,719
Speaker 1: James Wood, Corbyn Carroll, he's just being a hater here.

1045
00:49:04,160 --> 00:49:06,880
Speaker 1: When we take a look at my team, Sean Murphy

1046
00:49:06,880 --> 00:49:10,640
Speaker 1: at Ketcher, my infield, Luis Arrise, Jordan Westberg's qualifying at second,

1047
00:49:11,000 --> 00:49:13,160
Speaker 1: I can't remember he's actually going to or not. I

1048
00:49:13,160 --> 00:49:16,640
Speaker 1: don't think he is Oneal Cruz at Short, Austin Reiley.

1049
00:49:16,760 --> 00:49:20,360
Speaker 1: My corner Middle eastac Parateiees Dansby Swanson. My outfield was

1050
00:49:20,400 --> 00:49:23,680
Speaker 1: Corbyn Carroll, James Wood, Luis, Robert Tyler, O'Neil Byron Buckson,

1051
00:49:23,760 --> 00:49:27,640
Speaker 1: Trevor Story at U Till, my pitching, Trek Scugle, Max Fried,

1052
00:49:27,680 --> 00:49:31,680
Speaker 1: Spencer Swellenbach, Joe Ryan Sandale, Contra, Luis Heel Jackson job

1053
00:49:31,920 --> 00:49:35,160
Speaker 1: with Emmanuel Class and Pete Fairbanks. So you know, I

1054
00:49:35,160 --> 00:49:37,960
Speaker 1: look at this team and I have way too much

1055
00:49:38,040 --> 00:49:41,200
Speaker 1: inherent hitting risk. I think I think my batting average,

1056
00:49:41,239 --> 00:49:43,320
Speaker 1: I just I didn't do a good job at the

1057
00:49:43,320 --> 00:49:45,680
Speaker 1: batting average with some of the risk pieces that I have.

1058
00:49:45,760 --> 00:49:47,960
Speaker 1: I think I have way more power production than I

1059
00:49:48,000 --> 00:49:50,480
Speaker 1: mean given credit for same thing with stolen bases. But

1060
00:49:51,000 --> 00:49:54,000
Speaker 1: you know, I like, if Robert fails, he's going to

1061
00:49:54,120 --> 00:49:56,520
Speaker 1: just drag down my whole team. If he boosts back up,

1062
00:49:56,560 --> 00:49:58,680
Speaker 1: it's going to be huge. Trevor Story has got some

1063
00:49:58,840 --> 00:50:02,839
Speaker 1: injury kind of woes in there, and just a rise

1064
00:50:03,000 --> 00:50:04,759
Speaker 1: just kind of stands out is like, I don't know

1065
00:50:04,760 --> 00:50:07,240
Speaker 1: what that's going to be. I love my pitching staff

1066
00:50:07,280 --> 00:50:09,879
Speaker 1: I think I put together and I'm shocked I didn't

1067
00:50:09,920 --> 00:50:13,680
Speaker 1: get great better an a class starting pitcher slash closer

1068
00:50:13,800 --> 00:50:17,200
Speaker 1: set up there. So I am extremely happy with my pitching.

1069
00:50:17,520 --> 00:50:19,120
Speaker 1: I'm not as happy with my hitting, and that's not

1070
00:50:19,160 --> 00:50:21,359
Speaker 1: a good way to leave a draft. Joe, give me

1071
00:50:21,360 --> 00:50:23,360
Speaker 1: the same thing as there something you love and hate

1072
00:50:23,400 --> 00:50:24,799
Speaker 1: about the team I constructed.

1073
00:50:25,440 --> 00:50:27,719
Speaker 2: The thing that worries me the most. I won't say

1074
00:50:27,719 --> 00:50:29,279
Speaker 2: that I hate it because I've done it myself a

1075
00:50:29,280 --> 00:50:31,760
Speaker 2: few times and I alluded to it earlier is falling

1076
00:50:31,800 --> 00:50:33,640
Speaker 2: behind a little bit on my second closer, and I

1077
00:50:33,640 --> 00:50:36,160
Speaker 2: think Pete Fairbanks is a concern.

1078
00:50:36,320 --> 00:50:36,919
Speaker 1: It's a good point.

1079
00:50:37,000 --> 00:50:39,160
Speaker 2: The numbers fell for him last year a little bit.

1080
00:50:39,160 --> 00:50:41,399
Speaker 2: They're going to a more hitter friendly park, and there's

1081
00:50:41,440 --> 00:50:44,319
Speaker 2: also like six different options in Tampa that could close.

1082
00:50:44,360 --> 00:50:47,160
Speaker 2: It could be Useeta. I mean, Rasmussen's probably going back

1083
00:50:47,160 --> 00:50:49,520
Speaker 2: to the rotation, but I don't know for sure. They

1084
00:50:49,880 --> 00:50:52,200
Speaker 2: signed somebody the other day that I saw people hyping

1085
00:50:52,280 --> 00:50:55,160
Speaker 2: up as another sub three era reliever, so he'll probably

1086
00:50:55,160 --> 00:50:57,480
Speaker 2: be the next Billy Wagner or something.

1087
00:50:57,560 --> 00:50:59,959
Speaker 1: But one of the things with that I will point

1088
00:50:59,920 --> 00:51:01,920
Speaker 1: out for a second, how do we had bench, I

1089
00:51:02,000 --> 00:51:04,839
Speaker 1: was gonna take aj Puck. Also, I think there's some

1090
00:51:04,880 --> 00:51:07,600
Speaker 1: in just this instance, Like you know, if Tanner Scott

1091
00:51:07,600 --> 00:51:09,160
Speaker 1: had a home and I knew he's gonna be a closer,

1092
00:51:09,160 --> 00:51:10,759
Speaker 1: it might have considered him. There were a couple that

1093
00:51:10,800 --> 00:51:12,920
Speaker 1: I just stared at. Kirby Gates is sitting out there.

1094
00:51:12,920 --> 00:51:15,320
Speaker 1: He doesn't have a home that I think the market

1095
00:51:15,400 --> 00:51:18,480
Speaker 1: for closers right now is a little bit wonky. But

1096
00:51:18,560 --> 00:51:21,160
Speaker 1: to your point, it was it was like a struggle.

1097
00:51:21,760 --> 00:51:26,160
Speaker 1: What's something about the construction that you dug? I think

1098
00:51:26,200 --> 00:51:29,000
Speaker 1: you do have a more nothing good Lord with that

1099
00:51:29,200 --> 00:51:30,040
Speaker 1: pause there.

1100
00:51:31,320 --> 00:51:33,120
Speaker 2: I think you have more balance than you give yourself

1101
00:51:33,160 --> 00:51:35,919
Speaker 2: credit for. Because I think if you are looking at

1102
00:51:35,960 --> 00:51:39,560
Speaker 2: like the true power bats you got, I mean O'Neil Cruz.

1103
00:51:40,080 --> 00:51:42,040
Speaker 2: I'm not sure about the in game power necessarily, but

1104
00:51:42,080 --> 00:51:44,720
Speaker 2: he could very easily hit thirty plus homers. Same with Riley,

1105
00:51:44,760 --> 00:51:48,359
Speaker 2: same with Parades Carol, twenty five would probably twenty five,

1106
00:51:48,440 --> 00:51:52,760
Speaker 2: Lou Bob thirty, O'Neil like thirty. You got speed spread

1107
00:51:52,800 --> 00:51:55,120
Speaker 2: out with I mean a little bit in Westburg, you

1108
00:51:55,200 --> 00:51:59,719
Speaker 2: got cruise. Carol is a huge cushion there would like

1109
00:51:59,760 --> 00:52:03,680
Speaker 2: that average is a little bit high variance, because Carol

1110
00:52:03,719 --> 00:52:05,720
Speaker 2: could hit two thirty or he could hit two ninety

1111
00:52:05,760 --> 00:52:07,920
Speaker 2: and neither outcome would really surprise me. And there's a

1112
00:52:07,920 --> 00:52:10,000
Speaker 2: couple of guys where there is some potential. The same

1113
00:52:10,040 --> 00:52:11,480
Speaker 2: with lou Bob. I mean if lou Bob hit two

1114
00:52:11,560 --> 00:52:14,360
Speaker 2: seventy or two twenty, neither ones really surprised me. So

1115
00:52:14,400 --> 00:52:16,320
Speaker 2: a little bit of high variance with the batting average,

1116
00:52:16,320 --> 00:52:19,440
Speaker 2: but I think it's a pretty well balanced offense. And

1117
00:52:19,480 --> 00:52:21,319
Speaker 2: even your pitching, I think is like you said, you

1118
00:52:21,360 --> 00:52:24,760
Speaker 2: got Tarik Skooble Freed is not somebody that I'm terribly

1119
00:52:24,840 --> 00:52:27,480
Speaker 2: interested in, but you got him I think well after ADP,

1120
00:52:27,680 --> 00:52:31,160
Speaker 2: So no real complaints there. Sandy I love would have

1121
00:52:31,200 --> 00:52:34,520
Speaker 2: probably taken him if I didn't already have McClanahan. And

1122
00:52:34,520 --> 00:52:37,560
Speaker 2: we've alluded to the compounded risk there. But I think

1123
00:52:37,640 --> 00:52:40,880
Speaker 2: I think you did a really good job. Safe enough

1124
00:52:40,960 --> 00:52:43,800
Speaker 2: team with upside and pretty balanced. So I can't really

1125
00:52:44,040 --> 00:52:45,399
Speaker 2: can't really complain about it too much.

1126
00:52:46,360 --> 00:52:48,600
Speaker 1: We'll do a quick look. We apologize to Kelly here.

1127
00:52:48,840 --> 00:52:51,239
Speaker 1: Kelly did finish three, so Kelly got to come on

1128
00:52:51,320 --> 00:52:53,160
Speaker 1: to get your analysis here. You didn't win, you did

1129
00:52:53,160 --> 00:52:55,120
Speaker 1: win the last one, So shout out Kelly did win.

1130
00:52:55,480 --> 00:52:57,759
Speaker 1: I just want to give a quick quick look to

1131
00:52:57,800 --> 00:52:59,680
Speaker 1: Mike Mayer because he did win. Piece of PA loved

1132
00:52:59,680 --> 00:53:01,719
Speaker 1: his team. It said he is projected in the top

1133
00:53:01,760 --> 00:53:05,000
Speaker 1: four of Homer, stolen bases, wins, saves, k ERA, and

1134
00:53:05,040 --> 00:53:08,960
Speaker 1: the best of run, RBI and whip. That's nine. That's

1135
00:53:09,320 --> 00:53:12,440
Speaker 1: it's top four and nine of the top ten categories.

1136
00:53:12,440 --> 00:53:15,360
Speaker 1: That's why he crushed it. He projected at the tippy

1137
00:53:15,360 --> 00:53:19,040
Speaker 1: top across the board. And that team quickly was Will Smith,

1138
00:53:19,040 --> 00:53:22,919
Speaker 1: that catcher, Vientos, Luis Garcia Merrill who's qualifying at short

1139
00:53:22,920 --> 00:53:26,520
Speaker 1: which shouldn't by the way, and Colt Keith, Nolan Jones

1140
00:53:26,560 --> 00:53:30,200
Speaker 1: and Mason Wynn on corner. Middle Outfield is taoscar Doyle Yelich,

1141
00:53:30,280 --> 00:53:34,120
Speaker 1: Jason Dimingez, Solaier andresiman Is at util. Pitching was Chris sale,

1142
00:53:34,120 --> 00:53:37,920
Speaker 1: Aaron Nola, Ivaldi, Hawk, Robbie Ray also had Otani. I

1143
00:53:37,920 --> 00:53:40,400
Speaker 1: forgot about that. That's they slotted him kind of weird,

1144
00:53:40,880 --> 00:53:43,960
Speaker 1: Andres Munios and Ryan Pepio. That's actually probably why they

1145
00:53:43,960 --> 00:53:47,000
Speaker 1: slotted him a little bit weird. It's a pretty good construction.

1146
00:53:47,360 --> 00:53:49,560
Speaker 1: There's a couple players I'm actually not super into him,

1147
00:53:49,600 --> 00:53:53,160
Speaker 1: not into Jones. I'm not into Brenton Doyle. I love Domingas,

1148
00:53:53,160 --> 00:53:55,480
Speaker 1: I love the Otani build in here, but I think

1149
00:53:55,520 --> 00:53:58,840
Speaker 1: the system was messing around with although Tani just a

1150
00:53:58,840 --> 00:54:01,439
Speaker 1: tiny bit more. But that is what the number one

1151
00:54:01,600 --> 00:54:07,080
Speaker 1: constructed team looks like. What is your number one team construction?

1152
00:54:07,200 --> 00:54:08,759
