WEBVTT - 12-Team Roto Mock Draft (Ep. 915) 0:00:05.480 --> 0:00:08.680 What's up, friends, and welcome back to Fantasy Pros MLB. 0:00:08.800 --> 0:00:11.680 This is the Fantasy Baseball Podcast. I am Chris Welsh, 0:00:11.760 --> 0:00:16.200 joined by Joe Rico, and we are crazy people because 0:00:16.239 --> 0:00:17.840 we're mock drafting in December. 0:00:17.880 --> 0:00:18.280 That's right. 0:00:18.320 --> 0:00:22.479 We are firing up the Fantasy Pros Draft simulator, the 0:00:22.560 --> 0:00:26.560 MUDs as we call it, the multi User Draft Interface, 0:00:26.800 --> 0:00:29.280 so muddy, we could call that right there. But we 0:00:29.360 --> 0:00:32.640 are in the Fantasy Pros world and we are going 0:00:32.720 --> 0:00:35.159 to be drafting with a couple of our great Fantasy 0:00:35.159 --> 0:00:38.600 Pros people we work with. I completely forgot what the 0:00:38.680 --> 0:00:40.720 term would be. Our co workers would be a good 0:00:40.760 --> 0:00:42.199 one here. It's the end of December. It's a very 0:00:42.200 --> 0:00:44.040 difficult time right now. A couple of our coworkers. We've 0:00:44.040 --> 0:00:45.879 got Kelly Kirby, we got Mike Mayer in with us, 0:00:46.000 --> 0:00:49.479 and we've got the robots, yes, the ghost in the machine. 0:00:49.479 --> 0:00:51.440 The Fantasy Pros is going to be drafting with us. 0:00:51.760 --> 0:00:55.040 We are going to be going through a standard five 0:00:55.120 --> 0:00:58.440 by five, no bench. We are going to do five outfielder. 0:00:58.680 --> 0:01:01.040 We are going to do corner and middle. We're gonna 0:01:01.080 --> 0:01:03.200 do a few relievers in there. We're gonna try to 0:01:03.200 --> 0:01:05.960 give you a really good perspective of what the early 0:01:06.080 --> 0:01:08.000 values are. That's gonna be the biggest test to this 0:01:08.040 --> 0:01:11.040 mock draft. When you're mock drafting in December, you're really 0:01:11.600 --> 0:01:14.560 you know, getting an understanding of the values, or you're 0:01:14.640 --> 0:01:17.240 experimenting in the world of jumping into like you know, 0:01:17.280 --> 0:01:19.959 the early drafts of maybe NFBC and stuff like that. 0:01:20.120 --> 0:01:21.840 But we are going to give you a good idea 0:01:21.840 --> 0:01:25.559 of the evaluations and a preview of the draft board 0:01:25.600 --> 0:01:27.880 and the draft system at Fantasy Pros for the coming year. 0:01:27.920 --> 0:01:30.039 Mister Joe Rico, thank you so much. You are a 0:01:30.160 --> 0:01:33.680 company man, absolutely freaking decked out and pro stuff. 0:01:33.680 --> 0:01:36.919 What's up, buddy, I'm doing well, man. It's Christmas season 0:01:37.040 --> 0:01:39.720 watching all these little Christmas specials. I got a bone 0:01:39.760 --> 0:01:41.520 to pick with you because I was doing the Fantasy 0:01:41.520 --> 0:01:45.280 Pro Show yesterday. You're a Charlie Brown hater. You are 0:01:45.319 --> 0:01:47.720 a Charlie Brown hater. I couldn't even believe my ears. 0:01:47.760 --> 0:01:49.400 I mean, it's one of them. I haven't seen it 0:01:49.400 --> 0:01:51.520 this year, so maybe it's one of those ones that 0:01:51.520 --> 0:01:53.280 doesn't hold up as much. But it's a classic. 0:01:54.200 --> 0:01:56.120 No, that's fine, one hundred percent. I'm not a Charlie 0:01:56.120 --> 0:02:00.320 Brown hater. I what I simply said was the Charlie 0:02:00.360 --> 0:02:04.680 Brown Christmas Special might hands down be the one thing 0:02:04.720 --> 0:02:07.640 that hold It holds up less than anything I've ever 0:02:07.680 --> 0:02:09.760 watched that I can recall, Like there are things that 0:02:09.840 --> 0:02:12.520 take you into their era and stuff like that, the 0:02:12.600 --> 0:02:15.480 perception of like, hey, Charlie Brown's Christmas and all that, 0:02:15.520 --> 0:02:17.920 like I know, the Pumpkin One and everything. I was 0:02:18.080 --> 0:02:20.920 just astonished rewatching it with my kids. I was like, 0:02:21.120 --> 0:02:24.079 this is atrocious. And there's some pretty great animation of 0:02:24.160 --> 0:02:26.519 that time. That's simply what I was saying, and a 0:02:26.560 --> 0:02:29.400 little grinchy in the holiday spirit. But it doesn't hold up. 0:02:29.400 --> 0:02:32.160 It doesn't hold it. It's a rough watch. The storytelling, 0:02:32.240 --> 0:02:35.280 the all of it is just it's not great. And 0:02:35.360 --> 0:02:38.600 I'll probably just go back to National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation. 0:02:38.680 --> 0:02:40.480 I got to watch it this year. I'm just going through, 0:02:40.520 --> 0:02:42.959 like the Grin Show. I watched Home Alone yesterday, just 0:02:43.000 --> 0:02:46.079 getting into the getting into that holiday spirit here as 0:02:46.120 --> 0:02:48.120 we start our drafts for the year. But I mean 0:02:48.120 --> 0:02:50.359 I've already started drafting months ago, so this is more 0:02:50.480 --> 0:02:52.640 just just another practice round. 0:02:52.680 --> 0:02:56.560 Really well, yeah, Joey's been crazy, and we're talking about 0:02:56.560 --> 0:02:58.240 the holidays, but we're moving into the new year, and 0:02:58.240 --> 0:03:00.120 that's what this is going to be all about. You 0:03:00.160 --> 0:03:01.959 can get into, like, you know, some early drafts that 0:03:02.000 --> 0:03:04.520 are going on. There's Gladiators from NFBC. You can get 0:03:04.520 --> 0:03:06.800 into early best balls. I know you've already taken down 0:03:07.680 --> 0:03:10.680 six seven of those. I'm just about to jump into 0:03:10.720 --> 0:03:12.040 the way. I like to wait a little bit longer. 0:03:12.080 --> 0:03:15.000 I like to make sure that I've really really honed 0:03:15.040 --> 0:03:17.440 in my rank process before i start jumping into like 0:03:17.520 --> 0:03:21.200 real serious money stuff. But we are going to tackle 0:03:21.320 --> 0:03:23.320 some of the early perception and that's going to be 0:03:23.320 --> 0:03:24.440 the thing that's going to open up a lot of 0:03:24.440 --> 0:03:27.359 people's minds in what's happening in those early best balls 0:03:27.360 --> 0:03:30.440 and Gladiators and DC's and what's going to happen when 0:03:30.480 --> 0:03:33.360 you guys start drafting. There's a host of new crazy 0:03:33.360 --> 0:03:35.400 things that are going to be going on, and hopefully 0:03:35.440 --> 0:03:37.560 we'll be able to do that as we go through 0:03:37.600 --> 0:03:40.040 this draft live here. In just one second, I want 0:03:40.040 --> 0:03:43.280 to remind you guys to get locked in early this year. 0:03:43.760 --> 0:03:47.560 Go to my playbook, go to Fantasy Pros right now, 0:03:47.680 --> 0:03:50.880 and get locked into my playbook because next thing you 0:03:50.880 --> 0:03:53.120 know it, Draft Wizard's going to be up. You're going 0:03:53.200 --> 0:03:55.440 to want my playbook for end season, and we are 0:03:55.480 --> 0:03:58.600 going to have all the draft simulator set up here 0:03:58.800 --> 0:04:01.920 for you guys draft the MUDs as I mentioned it 0:04:01.960 --> 0:04:05.040 to you, and that's gonna be the big, big, big 0:04:05.080 --> 0:04:08.040 important one because today's live mock draft is done using 0:04:08.080 --> 0:04:12.000 our Draft Wizard mock draft lobby just like you'll see today. 0:04:12.000 --> 0:04:14.440 Our multi user drafts allow you to practice quick and 0:04:14.560 --> 0:04:18.520 fun mock drafts against both real and CPU opponents using 0:04:18.560 --> 0:04:21.520 the same easy to use interface as our mock draft simulator. 0:04:21.760 --> 0:04:25.000 While the mock Draft Lobby isn't available for public use yet, 0:04:25.440 --> 0:04:29.080 our mock draft simulator tool is open at fantasypros dot 0:04:29.120 --> 0:04:32.880 com slash draft Wizard. It's fast, free way to practice 0:04:32.920 --> 0:04:36.440 your upcoming fantasy baseball drafts. Again, that's Fantasypros dot Com 0:04:36.440 --> 0:04:42.320 slash draft Wizard that gets you set. You can put 0:04:42.360 --> 0:04:45.200 down multiple drafts in minutes and you can start figuring 0:04:45.200 --> 0:04:47.640 out and preparing what you want to do. So let's 0:04:47.680 --> 0:04:50.520 get to what we're going to do. We've got this 0:04:50.640 --> 0:04:53.479 mock draft all set up here. Mike Mayer's in the 0:04:53.520 --> 0:04:56.880 one spot. We've got Kelly Kirby at four, Joe, we've 0:04:56.920 --> 0:04:59.760 got you at seven. I am drafting at eleven. Right 0:04:59.760 --> 0:05:02.599 before or I hit start on this bad boy. Any 0:05:02.720 --> 0:05:05.080 quick thought process of how you want to attack this 0:05:05.120 --> 0:05:06.119 from that seven spot. 0:05:06.600 --> 0:05:08.320 Yeah, I like to be at least in the middle. 0:05:08.720 --> 0:05:10.640 I don't like to be on the turns because then 0:05:10.640 --> 0:05:12.400 you miss out on the runs off it's starting pitcher, 0:05:12.400 --> 0:05:14.640 if it's closer, it's whatever. So I like to be 0:05:14.680 --> 0:05:16.320 in the middle for this draft. I got to choose 0:05:16.320 --> 0:05:18.960 my spot, so I went just after the middle because 0:05:19.000 --> 0:05:21.840 I do think that there are maybe seventeen or eighteen 0:05:21.960 --> 0:05:24.480 first round worthy players, so I can get myself potentially 0:05:24.520 --> 0:05:26.560 two of them drafting. Maybe it's better to be a 0:05:26.600 --> 0:05:30.800 little farther down eight, nine, ten, guarantee yourself whatever, Julio, 0:05:31.000 --> 0:05:34.159 Carrol Combo or Jordan and Carol or whatever. But I 0:05:34.200 --> 0:05:35.719 do like to be kind of in the middle and 0:05:35.800 --> 0:05:38.120 a little slightly more towards the back end here. So 0:05:38.400 --> 0:05:40.479 I like where I am. I'm going to plan for 0:05:40.520 --> 0:05:42.640 some of course, some five category bats here in the 0:05:42.640 --> 0:05:43.239 first couple. 0:05:43.120 --> 0:05:45.120 Rounds, and that's kind of what I was looking at, 0:05:45.320 --> 0:05:47.880 is like I think there's some really really great value. 0:05:47.880 --> 0:05:49.760 At the end of drafts, we're doing a twelve team. 0:05:49.760 --> 0:05:51.719 The only thing I didn't mention about the whole process, 0:05:51.920 --> 0:05:54.400 you know, roto maybe being a little bit more king 0:05:54.440 --> 0:05:56.960 fifteen team would make sense. But again, you know, just 0:05:57.000 --> 0:05:59.440 as a nice little promotional tool to the simulator and 0:05:59.480 --> 0:06:01.839 the lobby, you can have so much customization. I set 0:06:01.880 --> 0:06:04.640 this up in minutes, was able to put how many teams, 0:06:04.839 --> 0:06:08.080 what the positions by quick clicks the time, and you 0:06:08.080 --> 0:06:10.479 can invite as many people as you want to throw 0:06:10.520 --> 0:06:12.279 out there, or you can just have the robots draft. 0:06:12.400 --> 0:06:14.920 So I'm at eleven here, I'm going to be looking 0:06:15.000 --> 0:06:17.400 at probably some combination of the really great value bats 0:06:17.400 --> 0:06:19.000 that are going to fall out. Let's see where the 0:06:19.040 --> 0:06:21.360 pitchers go, Let's see where the values are, and let's 0:06:21.400 --> 0:06:24.000 start this bad boy up. We have got our dear 0:06:24.040 --> 0:06:26.520 friend Mike Mayer, who's going to be on the clock 0:06:26.560 --> 0:06:31.720 here drafting one show. Hey Otani, sixty seven percent expert consensus. 0:06:31.760 --> 0:06:35.240 So far as the number one player doesn't have a position, 0:06:35.640 --> 0:06:37.600 it's going to just be U two, which is probably 0:06:37.640 --> 0:06:41.880 the slight little negative to it. But his production and 0:06:41.920 --> 0:06:43.840 performance is great, and I've said this before I think 0:06:43.839 --> 0:06:45.600 there are four really great ways you can go in 0:06:45.680 --> 0:06:50.320 drafts for extremes, the overall Otani, the best positional Wit. 0:06:50.720 --> 0:06:52.680 You want all the homers, Judge, you want all the 0:06:52.680 --> 0:06:55.440 stolen bases, Ellie. I think those four are a great 0:06:55.440 --> 0:06:57.960 way that you can tackle this into your drafts. And 0:06:58.000 --> 0:07:00.280 this bad boy has started up, Mike Mayor is on 0:07:00.360 --> 0:07:03.440 the clock, and I would suspect Otani is going to 0:07:03.520 --> 0:07:04.800 be our top dog. 0:07:04.839 --> 0:07:05.919 Here are you on? 0:07:06.000 --> 0:07:07.520 Are you on Otani at util? 0:07:07.880 --> 0:07:09.960 Yeah? Yeah, I don't mind it. I mean, especially hell, 0:07:10.000 --> 0:07:11.520 if you get him as a pitcher too. There's some 0:07:11.560 --> 0:07:13.400 sites where you'll get both of those stats. If it's 0:07:13.400 --> 0:07:16.720 a daily league, then he's easily number one. If you're 0:07:16.760 --> 0:07:19.400 just talking about the offensive stats, I don't really mind 0:07:19.440 --> 0:07:21.600 going with Bobby Wit, especially if you are somebody who's 0:07:21.600 --> 0:07:23.840 going to do like a bunch of drafts. Let's say 0:07:23.880 --> 0:07:25.680 you get the number one pick like ten times. I 0:07:25.720 --> 0:07:29.080 probably would take both of them evenly, maybe sixty percent 0:07:29.120 --> 0:07:32.280 Otani forty percent Wit. But Bobby Wit, I mean, thirty 0:07:32.360 --> 0:07:36.720 thirty season, hitting well over three hundred on the upper trajectory, 0:07:36.720 --> 0:07:39.160 there's no injury concerns. It's not crazy to consider him 0:07:39.160 --> 0:07:40.120 as the first overall pick. 0:07:40.160 --> 0:07:42.559 I don't think no, and I don't think it's crazy, 0:07:42.600 --> 0:07:44.080 and that's definitely not what I'm saying. I don't I 0:07:44.120 --> 0:07:46.440 don't think it is a wild crazy thing. It's just, 0:07:46.880 --> 0:07:50.280 you know, I think from a statistical not worry about 0:07:50.280 --> 0:07:53.800 positional standpoint, Otani makes all the sense in the world. 0:07:53.920 --> 0:07:57.960 So first pick is up here and we do have Otani. 0:07:58.320 --> 0:08:01.360 Wit goes to Soto go three. Kelly is on the 0:08:01.440 --> 0:08:05.240 clock here and eighty three percent expert consents is so 0:08:05.240 --> 0:08:07.040 far in the early ranks. A lot of this powered 0:08:07.040 --> 0:08:09.960 by our expert consensus rankers, which as the season goes on, 0:08:10.200 --> 0:08:12.840 they're gonna keep going up and up. We have air 0:08:13.160 --> 0:08:15.760 Gunner Henderson going to Kelly. Aaron Judge was eighty seven 0:08:15.760 --> 0:08:19.120 percent consensus. It went Judge and then Ellie. You are 0:08:19.160 --> 0:08:19.920 now up. Joe. 0:08:20.320 --> 0:08:23.400 I'm gonna take care of a weaker position in third base. 0:08:23.520 --> 0:08:26.800 Talked about the five category prowess I'm looking for in 0:08:26.840 --> 0:08:29.240 the first round. I'm gonna go Jose Ramirez, gonna keep 0:08:29.240 --> 0:08:31.320 it simple. I mean, I could have gone Mookie beats 0:08:31.400 --> 0:08:33.800 Kyle Tucker, but I feel like Hoose Rimir is one 0:08:33.800 --> 0:08:35.240 of those guys you can pretty much write the numbers 0:08:35.280 --> 0:08:37.040 down in pen before the season. You know what, He's 0:08:37.080 --> 0:08:39.360 gonna do some variants in the runs in RBIs but 0:08:39.480 --> 0:08:40.840 so safe. It's such a weak position. 0:08:41.720 --> 0:08:46.480 Yeah, I love that Mookie bets Kyle Tucker, Fernando Tatis Junior. 0:08:46.520 --> 0:08:49.360 That's pretty core. I mean, honestly, you would have loved 0:08:49.360 --> 0:08:51.600 one of those falling. But that's what's so great about 0:08:51.640 --> 0:08:54.199 so like ten looks like a really good spot. It's 0:08:54.200 --> 0:08:57.240 gonna feel homery. Corbyn Carol is sitting there. I kind 0:08:57.240 --> 0:09:00.280 of love and I've talked about this combination potential of 0:09:00.360 --> 0:09:03.840 you could go Corbyn, Carroll and Julio Rodriguez on the wheel. 0:09:04.080 --> 0:09:06.440 I also have the potential of jumping in in the 0:09:06.520 --> 0:09:10.679 sp market if you were to ever do or all 0:09:10.880 --> 0:09:15.560 do the pocket ASA strategy. Scooble and Skeens might be 0:09:15.640 --> 0:09:18.840 the ultimate of all time. They're also a huge safety net. 0:09:19.160 --> 0:09:22.400 But it's a battle of what are you comfortable with 0:09:23.679 --> 0:09:26.120 on the hitters versus what are you comfortable with investment 0:09:26.160 --> 0:09:29.400 on the pitchers? And I just I can't quite pull 0:09:29.440 --> 0:09:32.520 the trigger on that, but oh my, I just got 0:09:32.600 --> 0:09:35.800 sniped by the system. As I said that, I would 0:09:35.800 --> 0:09:39.280 say Julio or Skins and they both just went on 0:09:39.320 --> 0:09:41.800 the wheel. That's a phenomenon. So now I am staring 0:09:41.880 --> 0:09:44.920 at this possibility of maybe I do take the top 0:09:45.120 --> 0:09:50.040 sp I like Lindor, a lot yard on Alvarez is 0:09:50.080 --> 0:09:53.120 as safe as safe can be. You know what, I 0:09:53.160 --> 0:09:56.560 am going to do this. It is the top of 0:09:56.640 --> 0:10:00.440 the board here. Lindor is being pushed at me. Man, 0:10:01.280 --> 0:10:05.559 what do you think Scooble or Lindor stolen bases overall 0:10:05.559 --> 0:10:08.960 production or get that sp I'm tempted to lock up 0:10:09.000 --> 0:10:09.680 the sp. 0:10:09.800 --> 0:10:11.679 I think it's I mean, if it were me, I'd 0:10:11.679 --> 0:10:14.120 probably go Schooble. But Jordan Alvarez is kind of like 0:10:14.160 --> 0:10:16.680 the mirror of Corbyn Carrol because you're not getting steals. 0:10:16.760 --> 0:10:18.600 The Carrol could give you forty steals and then you're 0:10:18.600 --> 0:10:22.880 getting forty homers from Jordan. It's definitely I mean, I 0:10:22.920 --> 0:10:24.360 know I didn't help you out too much there, I 0:10:24.440 --> 0:10:24.800 just give you. 0:10:25.000 --> 0:10:26.880 Well, no, I'm I'm gonna I'm gonna do it like 0:10:26.960 --> 0:10:29.319 I'm gonna go with scoobl I really thought Julio was 0:10:29.360 --> 0:10:31.160 going to be my lock and if not, go schemes. 0:10:31.200 --> 0:10:33.520 But you know, get the top pitcher I've got a 0:10:33.559 --> 0:10:35.960 fifty plus stolen based guy in Corbyn Carroll and pretty 0:10:36.000 --> 0:10:39.240 comfortable with that, so I go schooble the next team. 0:10:39.559 --> 0:10:41.920 It's still a little bit high Ronald Acunya going in 0:10:41.960 --> 0:10:44.559 the second round. He's kind of falling in more of 0:10:44.600 --> 0:10:47.280 the higher stick stuff into like the third we had 0:10:47.360 --> 0:10:51.559 Lindor Vladimir Gerrera Junior, and then you just got gifted 0:10:51.679 --> 0:10:52.599 Jordan Alvarez. 0:10:53.040 --> 0:10:56.800 Yeah, two o six. He shouldn't crazy all quite that far. 0:10:56.880 --> 0:10:58.720 Now the lineup around him is not what it was 0:10:58.760 --> 0:11:01.640 even a week ago, but I still think that he 0:11:01.760 --> 0:11:03.920 is a pretty damn safe pick there middle of the 0:11:03.920 --> 0:11:05.719 second round. Later he fell, I mean, he could be 0:11:05.720 --> 0:11:07.520 a first round pick and it wouldn't really shock me 0:11:07.840 --> 0:11:10.000 if he went eleven or twelve. But getting him middle 0:11:10.000 --> 0:11:11.640 of the second that is a gift. 0:11:11.880 --> 0:11:13.440 Yeah, you know, I was thinking about, Yeah, there's always 0:11:13.480 --> 0:11:15.720 been this debate that's gone on just forever about like 0:11:18.000 --> 0:11:21.480 Vladimir Gera Junior or Joran Alvarez, and people struggle with that, 0:11:21.559 --> 0:11:25.120 and it's like they're just both incredibly great picks. So 0:11:25.440 --> 0:11:28.120 you know, it's like just a phenomenal spot picking up 0:11:28.160 --> 0:11:30.839 the last couple. Let's see we had, if I can 0:11:30.880 --> 0:11:34.720 get back to it, we had. You took Alvarez, Duran, Shurio. 0:11:34.880 --> 0:11:38.040 Kelly went with Freddie Freeman, which is a really solid pick. 0:11:38.080 --> 0:11:38.520 This late. 0:11:39.040 --> 0:11:40.760 Bryce Harper, who I would have went with a head, 0:11:40.920 --> 0:11:44.680 went three, Zach Wheeler, Mayer did the wheel of Jackson 0:11:44.720 --> 0:11:49.400 Merrill and Chris Sale. I love the Chris Sale pick. 0:11:49.440 --> 0:11:51.560 I'm a little bit lower on Jackson Maryral. I don't 0:11:51.600 --> 0:11:53.720 know if I'm going to pull the trigger on Jackson Merrill. 0:11:53.800 --> 0:11:57.079 In the second round. The last couple went Trey Turner, Olsen, 0:11:57.400 --> 0:12:02.560 Kelly got seized. So another pitcher, Jazz Chisholm, Raphael Devers, Joe, 0:12:02.559 --> 0:12:04.720 you're on the clock. I want to talk about Meryl 0:12:04.760 --> 0:12:06.720 for a second, but let's wait till after your pick. 0:12:07.080 --> 0:12:09.319 So what are we doing on the clock here? And 0:12:09.360 --> 0:12:12.080 then let's go to maryl Yeah. 0:12:13.000 --> 0:12:17.160 I don't mind Meryll or debating. Yeah, I'm just kind 0:12:17.160 --> 0:12:19.720 of debating a couple of different picks here. I don't 0:12:19.760 --> 0:12:24.280 mind Merrill. I think the second round is he's fully priced. 0:12:24.320 --> 0:12:27.880 You need him to absolutely smash at that rate, and 0:12:29.080 --> 0:12:32.520 there is some risk, you know, just coming off of 0:12:32.559 --> 0:12:35.360 that massive rookie season, he could regress a little bit. 0:12:35.440 --> 0:12:37.439 I think he's gonna be fine, but the second round 0:12:37.480 --> 0:12:40.360 feels a little a little bit much for me, especially 0:12:40.360 --> 0:12:42.320 in a twelve team or fifteen teamer. If he sneaks 0:12:42.360 --> 0:12:44.120 in the back end, the second round okay, but top 0:12:44.160 --> 0:12:46.200 twenty four for me is a little rich. 0:12:47.160 --> 0:12:48.840 You took my guy. I was going to go with 0:12:48.960 --> 0:12:51.679 Corey Seeger or Katel Marte who went right after you. 0:12:51.679 --> 0:12:54.320 Garrett Crochet would have been a phenomenal sp pick. Kind 0:12:54.320 --> 0:12:55.880 of glad I took Scoogle because that would have been 0:12:55.880 --> 0:12:58.520 who I wanted in this range. And then William Contreras 0:12:58.559 --> 0:13:01.880 insane catcher value. Talk about Corey Seeger while I'm up here, 0:13:01.920 --> 0:13:05.400 because like the production was there, you look at like 0:13:05.440 --> 0:13:07.720 the underlying stuff, it was all there. It's just the 0:13:07.760 --> 0:13:10.360 injuries are consistent. So I was gonna take him though. 0:13:10.679 --> 0:13:12.800 He's coming off of a year where, I mean, most 0:13:12.800 --> 0:13:15.360 of the Rangers were not quite what they were the 0:13:15.400 --> 0:13:18.120 year prior, coming off of the long World Series run. 0:13:19.600 --> 0:13:21.199 It was a bit of a quote unquote down year, 0:13:21.200 --> 0:13:22.839 and it was still like a one for thirty five 0:13:23.000 --> 0:13:27.360 WRC plus thirty plus homers are almost guaranteed. The injuries 0:13:27.360 --> 0:13:29.160 are a bit of a concern, but in the third round, 0:13:29.240 --> 0:13:31.160 pairing him with who I have I think have a 0:13:31.160 --> 0:13:34.120 pretty safe base there to start off with Jay Ramon 0:13:34.160 --> 0:13:37.920 Alvarez and then Seeger gives me I think forty home 0:13:37.960 --> 0:13:40.000 run upside in a lineup that should be quite a 0:13:40.040 --> 0:13:41.600 bit better this year than it was last year. 0:13:42.520 --> 0:13:45.439 Garrett Crochet William contrast, I went with Austin Riley, who 0:13:45.520 --> 0:13:49.520 I value in that same Raphael Dever's ish range of 0:13:49.840 --> 0:13:53.600 third baseman, and then it went to Ozzy Albi's Garrett 0:13:53.600 --> 0:13:56.760 Cole on the wheel. So I am back up, and 0:13:56.800 --> 0:13:59.640 I don't love this territory. If I'm being honest with you, 0:14:00.040 --> 0:14:03.720 I really really don't. So I'm gonna do something I 0:14:03.720 --> 0:14:06.120 don't usually do. But it's fourth round. I've got a 0:14:06.160 --> 0:14:08.280 pretty or yeah, it's fourth round. I've got a pretty 0:14:08.440 --> 0:14:11.240 big fall here. I'm gonna go with the top closer 0:14:11.240 --> 0:14:12.720 in the fourth round. I'm gonna go with a manual 0:14:12.760 --> 0:14:15.520 class A pairing that with one of the top pitchers, 0:14:15.520 --> 0:14:17.880 so I've got to essentially at the top of their 0:14:17.920 --> 0:14:19.760 position and one of the best stolen base guys. So 0:14:19.760 --> 0:14:22.920 I'm going for balance there. What are your thoughts on 0:14:22.920 --> 0:14:24.760 a manual class I know you're about to come up here. 0:14:24.840 --> 0:14:27.480 You're up. Yeah. I took Cole Reagan's as my ACE, 0:14:27.800 --> 0:14:30.880 and based on the way the software is set up currently, 0:14:30.880 --> 0:14:32.800 I'm not sure if that's going to maintain. But he 0:14:32.800 --> 0:14:35.120 has a relief picture eligibility still from the year prior 0:14:35.120 --> 0:14:35.680 at that may not. 0:14:35.920 --> 0:14:38.280 It won't, it won't. That's that'll be the I can 0:14:38.320 --> 0:14:40.280 tell you right now. There are some positional things that 0:14:40.360 --> 0:14:42.280 are going to adjust into the new year. Again, that's 0:14:42.280 --> 0:14:44.640 why the software is not up. It's a it's a 0:14:44.680 --> 0:14:47.440 hack for you, but it won't be for the regular. 0:14:47.200 --> 0:14:48.400 So for now I can put them in the relief 0:14:48.400 --> 0:14:50.400 picture spot and then get that taken care of with 0:14:50.440 --> 0:14:52.800 one of them. But for Class A, I think he's 0:14:52.800 --> 0:14:56.120 still incredibly safe. The strikeout rate maybe isn't quite what 0:14:56.320 --> 0:14:59.400 you want with the elite closer like the rest of them, 0:14:59.400 --> 0:15:02.960 it's fairly the average actually, but I mean the ratios, 0:15:03.280 --> 0:15:05.760 the potential for forty plus saves, I think he is 0:15:05.880 --> 0:15:08.640 definitely I haven't done relief pitcher rankings, but he's definitely 0:15:08.680 --> 0:15:10.960 in that top two or three there with Williams and Hater, 0:15:11.120 --> 0:15:14.720 I mean maybe even maybe even Edwin Diaz like there's 0:15:14.720 --> 0:15:17.400 a cluster of elite closers, and he's definitely among them. 0:15:18.560 --> 0:15:21.840 After Reagan's I went Machado Schwarberg, That's who I was considering, 0:15:22.240 --> 0:15:24.600 Michael King very high in the fourth round of Kelly Kirby. 0:15:24.880 --> 0:15:28.680 Pete Alonso followed up that pick Willia Damas, Mike Mayer, 0:15:28.760 --> 0:15:32.320 went Mason Miller and Taoscar Hernandez. On the four or 0:15:32.360 --> 0:15:35.760 five wheel, Blake Snell, who I did want a pretty 0:15:36.360 --> 0:15:40.400 considerable amount, Altuve, Pablo Lopez, Michael Harris, c J Abrams. 0:15:40.400 --> 0:15:44.080 You took Devin Williams, Royce Lewis, Marcusimi, and Jacob de Brom. 0:15:44.160 --> 0:15:47.480 I'm up, So let's hear your take on Devin Williams. 0:15:47.880 --> 0:15:50.520 Yeah. I don't think that much changes going to New York. 0:15:51.160 --> 0:15:54.080 I don't love that, you know, lefties essentially have a 0:15:54.080 --> 0:15:55.920 Little League park to hit in. But I don't think 0:15:56.000 --> 0:15:59.240 much changes in terms of like, his talent is undeniable. 0:16:00.720 --> 0:16:02.400 I don't want to make like crazy comps, but he's 0:16:02.400 --> 0:16:04.800 one of the best relief pitchers I've ever seen in 0:16:04.800 --> 0:16:06.960 my life. I mean, every single year he's giving you 0:16:07.000 --> 0:16:10.560 sub to era is ridiculous, strikeout rates, ridiculous stuff. Numbers 0:16:10.920 --> 0:16:12.760 wherever he's pitching. Even if he was in Colorado, I 0:16:12.760 --> 0:16:14.840 think I'd still be pretty interested at this range and 0:16:14.880 --> 0:16:17.440 getting him in the fourth walking down one or actually, no, 0:16:17.480 --> 0:16:19.080 I got him in the fifth, didn't I be getting 0:16:19.080 --> 0:16:21.560 of the fifth? So yeah, I'll absolutely take that. 0:16:21.880 --> 0:16:25.360 I just took James Wood, followed up Santander and Zach Gallon. 0:16:25.560 --> 0:16:27.160 I'm gonna take one of my favorite players in the 0:16:27.200 --> 0:16:30.480 sixth round. Still, I hate passing up this other h 0:16:31.880 --> 0:16:34.440 take O'Neill Cruz. I can't ever quit O'Neill Cruz, and 0:16:34.480 --> 0:16:37.240 I get to slot him in its shortstop played shortstop, 0:16:37.640 --> 0:16:39.520 move to center field into the year, so he's gonna 0:16:39.520 --> 0:16:43.960 have dual position eligibility, good average, twenty twenty season thing, 0:16:43.960 --> 0:16:46.480 he's gonna tap into more power. So I took James 0:16:46.520 --> 0:16:50.240 Wood and him. I'm going for big, big counting stats. 0:16:50.280 --> 0:16:52.960 I've got three guys at Steel twenty three guys that 0:16:53.000 --> 0:16:55.520 can hit over two hundred. I might be a little 0:16:55.520 --> 0:16:58.200 susceptible in batting average. That's something I'm gonna pay attention to. 0:16:59.080 --> 0:17:02.440 Cleaning up those last picks after that, because we in 0:17:02.480 --> 0:17:05.320 between you, we had Santan, Darren Gallen, Luis Castillo, Josh 0:17:05.359 --> 0:17:08.920 Hater Valdez, Yamamoto. We're in a big pitching run going 0:17:08.920 --> 0:17:11.640 on right now, Logan Webb, even Naga, Kelly Kirby took 0:17:11.600 --> 0:17:15.679 a white Langford who I almost took Ryan Hellsley. You 0:17:15.720 --> 0:17:18.600 went with Yamamoto. Is that your second sp That is 0:17:18.600 --> 0:17:19.960 because you took Coll Reagans. 0:17:19.680 --> 0:17:23.080 Right after Reagan's. Yeah. Yamoto, in the drafts I've been 0:17:23.119 --> 0:17:25.480 in this year is usually a third round pick, so 0:17:25.560 --> 0:17:28.679 getting him in the sixties feels like really good bargain. 0:17:28.720 --> 0:17:31.639 He's usually going in SP one territory. But I have 0:17:31.760 --> 0:17:35.320 like co aces there with Reagan's and the Ammoto especially 0:17:35.359 --> 0:17:38.120 not going early pitching quote unquote early first three rounds 0:17:38.119 --> 0:17:39.919 were hitters. I'm pretty happy with that. 0:17:40.920 --> 0:17:44.240 Yeah, And point out early drafts and like NFBC and stuff, 0:17:44.240 --> 0:17:47.560 you're going to play like upside, big stolen bases, big 0:17:47.600 --> 0:17:50.960 strikeouts and stuff like that. Pitchers go higher, catchers go higher. 0:17:51.000 --> 0:17:54.040 Catchers kind of ruin the system a little bit of 0:17:54.080 --> 0:17:56.919 values because an FBC and two catcher systems. So just 0:17:56.920 --> 0:17:58.080 some things to point out here. 0:17:58.359 --> 0:18:00.879 Hate you got your league, man, I hate two catcher leagues, 0:18:00.920 --> 0:18:01.359 I really do. 0:18:02.200 --> 0:18:05.520 I hate this round. Everybody just taking my guys. Nola 0:18:05.600 --> 0:18:09.000 and Vientos went to Mayor Teleglasstan was one. I wanted 0:18:09.040 --> 0:18:12.480 Brent Rooker to Kelly, I like, and you took Johann Duran, 0:18:12.600 --> 0:18:14.600 So I'm up, why don't you break us down on 0:18:14.680 --> 0:18:16.120 that is your second closer? 0:18:16.160 --> 0:18:19.800 I believe? Yeah. I mean there's a lot of drafts 0:18:19.800 --> 0:18:23.040 I've done this year where I've waited way too long 0:18:23.080 --> 0:18:25.360 on closer and then you're going with like a Calvin 0:18:25.400 --> 0:18:28.479 Fouchet or somebody is your sp two, And I mean 0:18:28.480 --> 0:18:30.119 half of people probably just said who is that? And 0:18:30.119 --> 0:18:33.680 I wouldn't blame them. So I try sometimes, especially when 0:18:33.680 --> 0:18:35.280 we have a little bit more freedom in these mocks, 0:18:35.280 --> 0:18:37.520 to try out some different builds and going with a 0:18:37.560 --> 0:18:40.320
