Speaker 1: There are nine times of minus three. Al right, so whatever,
Speaker 1: so idiots coming around, bell might have a deal. Let's go. Great.
Speaker 1: Unfortunately I woke up to some bad news. What's what's
Speaker 1: what's what's wrong? I also will up to Frank very bad.
Speaker 1: I actually woke up to a text from you regarding Hazy.
Speaker 1: Was not happy. Bad news. Good thing we have a
Speaker 1: doctor of inside injuries coming up. Also, Matt Olsen Hey
Speaker 1: with a pitch today on his hand, missed that left.
Speaker 1: I was in the bathroom heaven late. Yeah, we got
Speaker 1: a little more baseball today to watch though, you know
Speaker 1: he had had a little more. We had a little
Speaker 1: extra baseball to watch today, Greg. Yeah, Yeah, it was cool,
Speaker 1: It was fun. It was s on pace for a
Speaker 1: hundred and sixty two saves. How about that bumped Mingo Santana.
Speaker 1: Yesterday we talked about you know, we talked about Hunter Strickland,
Speaker 1: Jim Sannas. I was all about Hunter Strickland. Well, no
Speaker 1: one knew who was going to be and I think
Speaker 1: Anthony Scorzak is hurt now. So just leaves one. There
Speaker 1: was one I loved. Hut. How's everything else going here?
Speaker 1: How did you sleep or could you not sleep because
Speaker 1: you were too excited the turtles? And I'll be honestly,
Speaker 1: I just left. I had another dream Network. I had
Speaker 1: a dream that we were regarding me being no, you
Speaker 1: were in it the So I had a dream that
Speaker 1: we were doing something and it might have been the
Speaker 1: Tip Drill, not Tip Drill. It might have been the
Speaker 1: NBA Fantasy Hour where I was using my game show
Speaker 1: Mike and I was getting yelled at because it just
Speaker 1: didn't sound good, and everyone's just so mad at me,
Speaker 1: just starting to concern me that dreamed so much about work.
Speaker 1: Everyone was just telling me they were just so mad
Speaker 1: at me that my game show mic wasn't working. So
Speaker 1: it seems like it's been working quite well. I woke
Speaker 1: up upset that I couldn't use it anymore, and then
Speaker 1: I realized it was it was a dream. I used
Speaker 1: to wor use Word up magazine, used to read Word
Speaker 1: Up magazine. You're all over the place, all over the place.
Speaker 1: Oh man, what's going on? Buddy? I'm good man. Things
Speaker 1: are good. The lizard things very annoying. Now we will
Speaker 1: go We both will come to that at four to
Speaker 1: six weeks with what was deeming this shoulder store noess,
Speaker 1: is that what it is? So the same thing is
Speaker 1: like Sevorino what that's rotator cuff story is a little
Speaker 1: bit different. Hopefully Dr A we'll answer that question for us.
Speaker 1: We're not We're probably not gonna be happy by that.
Speaker 1: I mean, my initial thought was, well, is this a
Speaker 1: real injury or is this like a service time thing?
Speaker 1: But the Oakland's need him. Their rotation is not good.
Speaker 1: So as of now, all the news that we have
Speaker 1: is he's being shut down for four to six weeks
Speaker 1: with a muscle strain in his left shoulder. Greg, I
Speaker 1: don't know about you, but muscle strain sounds better than
Speaker 1: like rotator cuff. What do you think better? I agree
Speaker 1: with you. Muscle muscle strain definitely sounds better. Happen so
Speaker 1: late in camp now we might not seem until the
Speaker 1: end of May. It's four to six weeks. That's okay.
Speaker 1: I mean that's okay. Like I know we wanted the
Speaker 1: sort of the Brake camp, but like theoretically he comes
Speaker 1: up in June, like, all good. I mean that's a
Speaker 1: big difference. Stuf, No, it's not. It's not. I don't
Speaker 1: know about everyone else. I was expecting him up middle
Speaker 1: of April, fiddle to end of April. Fine, how many
Speaker 1: ins you think this year? You didn't a hundred fifty innings?
Speaker 1: Did you? For those listening that Franks is shaking, he said, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I did. That is what I was expecting. Let's see
Speaker 1: what the fan graps projected. Yeah, what what is fan
Speaker 1: guys for? Jeffer LAZARDA Because I thought that was realistic.
Speaker 1: They didn't need him they need him that much. I
Speaker 1: didn't really think in between. Al Right, I gotta do
Speaker 1: some dude. Fan gra has projected a hundred and twelve,
Speaker 1: but last season he had ninety two one oh eight.
Speaker 1: He pitched a hundred and eight innings in the minors.
Speaker 1: Why couldn't you jumped to one thirty one forty one
Speaker 1: oh eight to one? You could do that is fine?
Speaker 1: He still can get to one thirty Yeah, I mean maybe. Okay,
Speaker 1: if you're still drafting this weekend and we are, we
Speaker 1: have a on Sunday, you have a draft to night.
Speaker 1: That's a joke that a phone on the Thursday of March. Man,
Speaker 1: is you having a draft? I didn't plan this, correct,
Speaker 1: I'm not the commissioner. We have it on in the background.
Speaker 1: I could be watching my pops. He's in the league.
Speaker 1: Here's a question that we have to get into later
Speaker 1: on the show. We certainly will um where's his Lazaro? Now?
Speaker 1: He was basically going wherever Chris Paddock went. He's Lazardo
Speaker 1: wet and you're looking pretty much like thirteen four exactly
Speaker 1: what I was gonna sat round Zardo for three dollars
Speaker 1: in auction. Paddock will still Paddocks still goes there. Obviously
Speaker 1: over the weekend he went for an average of six
Speaker 1: dollars in the NFBC auctions. Didn't get him at a
Speaker 1: bit of a discount, now, y'all four bucks that's what
Speaker 1: we paid from last week. We so was much higher.
Speaker 1: I think you're getting Lazardo as a one or two
Speaker 1: dollar guy now probably so. Yeah, because people don't buy
Speaker 1: the injury optimism. They don't know what he's coming back.
Speaker 1: I hear you, but you've actually kind of talked me
Speaker 1: into this. Now have because it comes up in let's
Speaker 1: say late May early June. It sucks they have to
Speaker 1: wait for him, but you might have him for the
Speaker 1: rest of the year now a hundred and thirty n
Speaker 1: the rest of the season. I understand you. I mean
Speaker 1: I don't know about everyone. I don't know what rather
Speaker 1: have him for the back end for for the of course,
Speaker 1: no doubt about that. But the shoulder muscle strain not great.
Speaker 1: It's just it's not it's not like it's an ankle.
Speaker 1: It's not he broke his ankle here. I had people
Speaker 1: asking me today already on Twitter, Greg, do you drop
Speaker 1: lose art? What do you do well? Because you can't
Speaker 1: put him on the injured list. You're saying, yeah, what
Speaker 1: if you just have him on your bench and you don't,
Speaker 1: he's not gonna be DL eligible or i L eligible
Speaker 1: because he's gonna go in the minor league injured. He's
Speaker 1: not gonna go. So obviously, if you have a minor
Speaker 1: league spot, you could just stash him there. Of course,
Speaker 1: what if you don't, do you just hold onto him?
Speaker 1: I say, yes, I think the talent is there. So
Speaker 1: it's a really funny question because for me, right now,
Speaker 1: I have an inn A spot, right so Jesus Lazardo,
Speaker 1: I could I could put him there right now, and
Speaker 1: and he's actually not eligible yaho. So the way we
Speaker 1: do it is YEAHO in the second we have one.
Speaker 1: We have we have one, and I think that's fine.
Speaker 1: So I'm stashing essentially stashing there. We're actually stashing a
Speaker 1: random player there because yeah, who doesn't have them in
Speaker 1: their system yet? For us? Bizarre? I know so, And
Speaker 1: well I'll get we get to the AI up after
Speaker 1: the break, yeah or dr right'll get the a Tani
Speaker 1: up date later in the hour. But Lozardo, he's eligible
Speaker 1: to be put there, so I can put him there.
Speaker 1: Or the guy that's replacing him there. But I haven't
Speaker 1: picked up anybody to replace him yet. So you asked me, like,
Speaker 1: would I dropped Lizardo At some point the answer may
Speaker 1: very quickly become yes, but justice, But right now I
Speaker 1: have an empty roster spot because I draft Lazardo put
Speaker 1: him in my minor eleague spots. So I have an
Speaker 1: empty roster spot and I have not filled it yet.
Speaker 1: One of the reasons is because we have um a
Speaker 1: maximum pickup list of four players per week, and technically
Speaker 1: this week doesn't end to like April four, so that's
Speaker 1: a really long time for four pickups, so I don't
Speaker 1: want to waste one. And the second thing is I
Speaker 1: don't necessarily know who pick up who to pick up
Speaker 1: someone in our league, Like listened to the BFFs yesterday,
Speaker 1: grabbed Trevor Waivers. Trevor Richards off of Waivers, so he's gone,
Speaker 1: Like Michael Pineta, for instance, he's still out there. There's
Speaker 1: a couple of other pictures were big Mike looked yesterday?
Speaker 1: He did? He did. I don't want to waste that
Speaker 1: for one of my four pickups. He's always has been,
Speaker 1: he's been working out. I don't want to waste one
Speaker 1: of my four pickups on Pineda quite yet, so I'm waiting.
Speaker 1: So if I have to drop Lozardo, I will. I'm
Speaker 1: not doing it yet. I'm waiting. I'm being cautious. I'm
Speaker 1: not trying to just the over zealous here by picking
Speaker 1: up players you have to Would you rather have these
Speaker 1: guys over Lozardo? Tyler SAgs, Yes, you too. Alan mceugh yes,
Speaker 1: John Gray yes, at my yes, Ross Stripling, Yes, I'd
Speaker 1: really like to pair raw Strippling up with Hazru s Lazardo.
Speaker 1: That makes sense because you get some early season starts
Speaker 1: out of raw Strippling while all these guys are on
Speaker 1: the deal like i'd like. I'd like to long. Is
Speaker 1: that gonna take it? I'd like to pair them up
Speaker 1: by dealing. That would be great. I have all the
Speaker 1: Dodgers pitchers backs back. What about Rick Portello? Do you
Speaker 1: think about that? Greg? You're any closer? So that's where
Speaker 1: I dropped Lozardo too. I dropped fifty four my starting
Speaker 1: picture right, and I have for comparisons sake, I have
Speaker 1: Chris Paddock at forty five. I'm a Paddock at forty five.
Speaker 1: Lazardo is affairs that warranted. If not, you know as
Speaker 1: you shouldn't, it shouldn't be a farther discomancy potentially, you think, so, Yeah,
Speaker 1: they have Chris Paddock higher my ringings. I'm just beyond
Speaker 1: Madison Bumgarder bumping at forty four might be the third round?
Speaker 1: Jeff jet faces, Do I have Bumguard too low? I
Speaker 1: don't really want anything to do with him? Agreed? No,
Speaker 1: I think I think pais what about Tyler Glass now
Speaker 1: last now versus Lizardo? Right? I think I'd rather was
Speaker 1: ever really buying into the hype last now because there
Speaker 1: was a little bit of hype. I think I'd rather
Speaker 1: have Lizardo. Yeah, last look, he just I understand, picking
Speaker 1: up right where he left off where he normally does.
Speaker 1: The control looks terrible in the spring. He's giving up
Speaker 1: home runs. And that's what's so bad about Tyler Glass
Speaker 1: now is last year when he came over to the Raidings,
Speaker 1: everyone was excited. He started pitch better, he didn't walk
Speaker 1: as many guys. He's still around three walks for nine,
Speaker 1: but he gives up a ton of home runs. You
Speaker 1: know what why it's so bad because he walks everybody
Speaker 1: so it's not solo home runs that Tyler Glasstow was
Speaker 1: given up. He's given up two run homers. Do you
Speaker 1: run homers? He give enough grand slams because he walked
Speaker 1: so many batters about. I was never I was never
Speaker 1: really in on class now for this season, just because
Speaker 1: their mechanical issues. He's six ft eide, he can repeat
Speaker 1: his delivery to me. He reminds me a lot of
Speaker 1: a Tances, right, but Tances super wild. She say, maybe
Speaker 1: he goes to the bullpen is much better. That's always
Speaker 1: been a question mark with class. Now he's probably better
Speaker 1: in you know, short spurts. One inning here, maybe a
Speaker 1: swimming man relief picture, two winnings. But he's just too wild.
Speaker 1: The mechanics are always off. The pedigree is there. I
Speaker 1: think he's talented, but he's never been able to really
Speaker 1: show signs of ConTroll at the start. Pure Absolutely, we
Speaker 1: know and they knowing this about Tyler Glass now, I
Speaker 1: know we wanted to put it all together. We have
Speaker 1: not seen it yet, which is where wise value is
Speaker 1: not nearly as high as it could be given this
Speaker 1: pedigree and the spot have Carlos Martinez type upside. Yes, absolutely,
Speaker 1: Oh I totally agree with that. If ever learned how
Speaker 1: to you know, harness, some of it we don't know.
Speaker 1: We don't. We don't know that he will. Rols Martinez
Speaker 1: was a guy when he came up. Now here's a
Speaker 1: guy like, who is that Collinsworth? Yes, here's a guy, Um,
Speaker 1: let me talk this guy. That's Rolls Martinez. It felt
Speaker 1: like they kept messing with his mechanics a little bit.
Speaker 1: When I first came up. They moved them different sides
Speaker 1: of the rubber to try and figure out starting the
Speaker 1: bull started actually starting the bull. So I don't know.
Speaker 1: I think I like the Tampa. I like the Tampa
Speaker 1: Bay raises a fit because it seems like if any
Speaker 1: team can figure it out, it might be them. But
Speaker 1: he hasn't done much in the spring to fire confidence.
Speaker 1: I agree, And that's why I dropped. You asked me
Speaker 1: who I'd rather have to me? It was Lozzardah, so
Speaker 1: I guess I should dropped Glass. Now my rankings, I
Speaker 1: think we didn't. You ripped the crap at him. You
Speaker 1: probably should should do something about that. So that's where
Speaker 1: we're atig that's Lozardo. Um, we meagine Hunter stricked them
Speaker 1: before you see anything else in that game. There's a
Speaker 1: bunch actually in that game with Mitch out of your
Speaker 1: degording and more. We should mention Ryan Healey. We haven't
Speaker 1: really talked, especially in a only or fifteen teamers, but
Speaker 1: you know what I think we should do. You could
Speaker 1: start Ryan Heally. How about this Greg Parry, Ryan Healey
Speaker 1: with Vladimir Guerrero. Love it because you know that is
Speaker 1: gonna miss the first month seas. Yeah, yeah, yeah, pair
Speaker 1: Ryan Healey. First month of season. You'll get him, hopefully
Speaker 1: you get you know, once Kyle Sega returns Ryan Healey,
Speaker 1: his playing time might get jumbled up a little bit
Speaker 1: by then you have Vladimir Guero. Great, love the paring.
Speaker 1: What I do think though, Frank, after we talk to
Speaker 1: Drys coming up next, I want to write down what
Speaker 1: we learned over the two days in Japan because think
Speaker 1: there's a lot here. There's a bunch of offense which
Speaker 1: is which is obviously very fun. So I think we
Speaker 1: should get into its legit. Man, there's a lot of
Speaker 1: guys hunter legit. We'll talk about all of this. I
Speaker 1: cut up a little bit. When we come back. We're

Speaker 1: we're looking for. Did you go You probably went to
Speaker 1: some prestigious college. Do you have any rooting interests in
Speaker 1: March Madness? Um? Yes, Uh, I have a very extensive
Speaker 1: family that are extremely competitive. So this is our sixteenth
Speaker 1: year of the March Madness Showdown? So who do you have?
Speaker 1: Do you have winning winning it all? You know who
Speaker 1: I have? It's like who everyone has in the final four?
Speaker 1: I do have, Um, Tennessee, the big question remains, uh,
Speaker 1: do you pick Maryland or Belmont in the first round?
Speaker 1: I picked Maryland? Mo Man dr A thank you, thank you, Doc.
Speaker 1: It's you know, he's a he's a smart man talk.
Speaker 1: I know we emails you this morning. I don't know
Speaker 1: you're able to get to. The big news coming out
Speaker 1: as we woke up was about Jesus Lazardo and Lizardo
Speaker 1: hurt himself a muscle strain in that shoulder. What does
Speaker 1: that mean? Yeah, this is something that they have to
Speaker 1: take extremely sensitively. Um, it's throwing shoulder left rotator cuff strain. Um.
Speaker 1: We right now we're thinking it's a grade one. We
Speaker 1: feel more information about it. But even like you know,
Speaker 1: a throwing shoulder for a grade one is more like
Speaker 1: a grade three almost for um, you know, other athletes.
Speaker 1: It's so sensitive because that's the only thing that's important
Speaker 1: in a picture right there. So um there, He's what
Speaker 1: we're predicting is that he's definitely going to require at
Speaker 1: least six to eight weeks of an HTR right now,
Speaker 1: based on that prediction of the injury severity of grade
Speaker 1: one to two. We will adjust it as it goes on,
Speaker 1: but at least at least eight weeks at six eight weeks,
Speaker 1: and I'd say leaning towards towards, you know, toward eight weeks,
Speaker 1: and I would put the timetable at the beginning of June,
Speaker 1: Greg now, eight weeks until he's back, or eight weeks
Speaker 1: until he starts throwing again, eight weeks, eight weeks, um
Speaker 1: until he starts throwing again, a couple more weeks of rehab,
Speaker 1: you know, take a less ten weeks. Yeah, that might
Speaker 1: be the middle of June, end of June. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: the god So this is a disaster. Alright, Alright, we'll
Speaker 1: just start over the disaster. No, no, Doc, you know,
Speaker 1: we we asked you about Lazar that you mentioned the
Speaker 1: rotator cuff, let's let's move into Savorino here. We haven't
Speaker 1: spoken to you in a couple of weeks. What's the
Speaker 1: latest song? We said? Even know, I know he uh,
Speaker 1: he finally started throwing terday, twenty five throws from a
Speaker 1: distance of sixty feet. That was yesterday. They've already ruled
Speaker 1: him out for the month of April. They're optimistic that
Speaker 1: he can return in May. But kind of similar to
Speaker 1: dealing with the with the rotator cuff here, what do
Speaker 1: you guys have on Savorino? Yeah, so the optimal recovery
Speaker 1: time for a throwing uh sort of rotator cuff strain um.
Speaker 1: Right now, he was at a grade two. We moved
Speaker 1: him down to a grade one. But still it's four
Speaker 1: to six weeks, so you know, he's probably April twenty
Speaker 1: six is what we're looking at right now, maybe April
Speaker 1: twentie right now, we're targeting right around April. Okay, that's good,
Speaker 1: right around May, that's good. How much will this affect
Speaker 1: his h performance though? Yeah, yeah, that was just about
Speaker 1: to say that. Yeah, it was you know, the first
Speaker 1: the first we'll see how he gets off the mound
Speaker 1: when he first starts. If he looks pretty good, it
Speaker 1: probably buys him a good amount of gay games and
Speaker 1: innings all the way up till maybe August and September,
Speaker 1: and then you know, obviously postseason will be an issue
Speaker 1: with this. This is not I mean, this will flare
Speaker 1: up again and they'll probably take some extensive time off
Speaker 1: again to be ready for the playoffs. So, uh, from
Speaker 1: a fantasy perspective, you know, if he looks pretty good
Speaker 1: at the end of April when he comes back, and
Speaker 1: you know of all intentions that he will look pretty good, um,
Speaker 1: you know, you're probably is gonna take some time off
Speaker 1: sometime in August to be ready for the postseason. If
Speaker 1: the Yankees make the postseason, that's what they're trying to do,
Speaker 1: So look for an extensive period of time off in August.
Speaker 1: We hear that you're just like, I'm good, and I
Speaker 1: think a lot of the times, Greg, when we have
Speaker 1: injury optimism with players, we hear a timetable when we say,
Speaker 1: all right, well, Savoreno is gonna be back in May,
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden we just think, all right,
Speaker 1: well we'll have him from May till the rest right
Speaker 1: end of the season. Wait, fine, but you don't really
Speaker 1: factor in the possibility of all right, well, let's give
Speaker 1: him a two three week break here because we need
Speaker 1: him for the postseason. I mean, obviously the Yankees have
Speaker 1: to make it to the postseason first, but um, they
Speaker 1: you know, they have their their sights set on that,
Speaker 1: they have their sights set on October, so they need
Speaker 1: Severino for then more than anything else. I wouldn't surprise
Speaker 1: me if all right, yeah, we're get them back in May.
Speaker 1: Might see another I Els didn't later on in the
Speaker 1: season at a different points. They rest him up and
Speaker 1: make sure he's good to go when when they need
Speaker 1: him most in the postseason. Absolutely kind of worries me.
Speaker 1: And and what I wrote about on my Patreon is
Speaker 1: I'm much more likely to be in on Severino in
Speaker 1: a keeper league dynasty. Maybe I'm aggressive there, but Redraft,
Speaker 1: I think there's a little nugget that I can give
Speaker 1: you guys here about pictures and and and the injury analytics.
Speaker 1: So anytime you have a rotator cross strain on a
Speaker 1: throwing shoulder of a picture, you almost always historical data
Speaker 1: shows that there's always a flare up or there's an
Speaker 1: intentional rest because of the sort of the length and
Speaker 1: the grind of the season, especially starting pictures. Um, so
Speaker 1: you have to factor two to four week hiat at
Speaker 1: some point else in the season in that regard. So
Speaker 1: just that's like a rule of thumb. It's proven with
Speaker 1: historical data, and so you should definitely, you know, as
Speaker 1: a fantasy player, always factor that in kidding me. After that,
Speaker 1: we're talking to Dr A from Inside Injuries and Doc
Speaker 1: whenever we bring up Seborino. It seems like we are
Speaker 1: almost contractually obligated to bring up Clayton Kershaw. And we
Speaker 1: talked to you about Kershaw quite a bit. But the
Speaker 1: news surrounding Kersha has been pretty good, Like he says,
Speaker 1: he basically just needs to get his army game shape
Speaker 1: and he should be back towards the end of April.
Speaker 1: Not unlike Seborino, velocity has been declining. Obviously, his his
Speaker 1: back is not in great shape. You've been off Seborino
Speaker 1: thus far, any positive news, I'm sorry, Kershaw thus far
Speaker 1: a positive news surrounding Clayton Kershaw. So with this particular injury, UM,
Speaker 1: it looks like he's doing very well from a recovery standpoint,
Speaker 1: He's hitting his optimal recovery time. Uh. And they are
Speaker 1: in the beginning part of April in for this particular injury.
Speaker 1: But like you said, the back injury for a arting
Speaker 1: picture is a really big worrisome factor for us on
Speaker 1: India algorithm, and and so we are we really have
Speaker 1: downgraded Kershaw for this season. I know he's a big name,
Speaker 1: and I know he's an incredible talent, et cetera. But
Speaker 1: you know, the back will catch up to him this year.
Speaker 1: And he's one year older, um, and so his injury
Speaker 1: right now, I mean, his i RC is very high
Speaker 1: right now because he's still trying to come back from
Speaker 1: this uh shoulder injury. But by the time you know
Speaker 1: that he's healed from this particular injury, his IRC will
Speaker 1: probably be right around thirty. So unfortunately, a third of
Speaker 1: the season is really in jeopardy with Clayton Kershaw because
Speaker 1: of the back, not the shoulder, but the back. That's
Speaker 1: what we thought. Now you're dealing with those things in conjunction.
Speaker 1: You have the back that's been a chronic injury. Right shoulder. Now,
Speaker 1: I remember last year, Dock and I'll never forget this.
Speaker 1: You said it wouldn't surprise you if in a couple
Speaker 1: of years CLAYT. Kirsha runds up in the bullpen. You know,
Speaker 1: I remember you said that last year so and and
Speaker 1: it's due to this chronic back injury, and now he
Speaker 1: has the shoulder in conjunction with that. It's just I
Speaker 1: think there's too much risk to take on your Greg.
Speaker 1: You know, if if we had another picture that and
Speaker 1: his name wasn't Clayton Kershaw and his velocity was decreasing
Speaker 1: and his skills were declined, and you know he you know,
Speaker 1: we wouldn't even be having this conversation. Absolutely because his
Speaker 1: name is Clayton Kershaw. Doc. I feel like whenever we
Speaker 1: talk about Marino, we bring up Kershaw, and we also
Speaker 1: bring up Mike Fulton Nevitch, who has uh was the
Speaker 1: Big Three exactly, was dealing with elbow soreness the past
Speaker 1: couple of weeks. He threw a bullpen on Sunday. I've
Speaker 1: seen some reports that he could return mid April. What
Speaker 1: do you guys have on Mike Fulton Nivitch. So this
Speaker 1: is a not even a grade one injury right now,
Speaker 1: So that's great news for him. I mean, he's at
Speaker 1: an elevated injury risk of nine. It's going to be
Speaker 1: going down. Projection A Lee probably down to thirteen percent
Speaker 1: very low to low injury risk category and right now
Speaker 1: he's at above average category, only four percentage points away
Speaker 1: from peak. So, um, you know, we haven't coming back
Speaker 1: in mid to uh late April, and that and the
Speaker 1: Braves look like they had they're right on schedule. So
Speaker 1: you know, this type of injury, um, you know it's
Speaker 1: it's it's minor than you know. We're predicting it to
Speaker 1: be pretty minor, and he should be ready to go,
Speaker 1: you know, for all intents and purposes. Um, sort of
Speaker 1: the middle to end of April. So super positive news
Speaker 1: coming out from Mike fultonvit you're gonna be aggressive with
Speaker 1: him tonight and over the weekend. Actually you were very high,
Speaker 1: were very high Mike keeper draft uh two nights ago.
Speaker 1: Now Walker Bueller is healthy, but they've been very very
Speaker 1: cautious with Walker Bueler had the Dodgers, given that he
Speaker 1: pushed his workload last year. He said he didn't feel right,
Speaker 1: but he pitched okay, and he was back on the mount.
Speaker 1: It might have been dead arm. He didn't exactly say that,
Speaker 1: but I know some people were speculating on dead arm guard.
Speaker 1: What do you what can you tell us doc about
Speaker 1: Walker Bueller. So I love when people say dead arm,
Speaker 1: especially not you guys, but like just you know, uh,
Speaker 1: it's there's no actual translation into medicine for dead arm,
Speaker 1: you know. So Um, you know Walker Buler, obviously he
Speaker 1: was workhorse last year, and obviously that's gonna take a
Speaker 1: toll you know, chronically, uh there, you know, for this season,
Speaker 1: but you know, total offseason to recover. UM has to
Speaker 1: go through their appropriate precautions. Most likely will be on
Speaker 1: a pitch count again, I mean not again, but this
Speaker 1: pitch account, like so many other pictures, are UM to
Speaker 1: maybe decrease the number of innings and pictures that he throws.
Speaker 1: Um um, you know, this year, just so that they
Speaker 1: can preserve the long term future of this guy. Um.
Speaker 1: But you know, right now, I mean we don't see
Speaker 1: really anything that can hold him back. You know, he's
Speaker 1: that peak and he's less than ten percent i r C,
Speaker 1: which is in a low risk category. So there's nothing
Speaker 1: that we're seeing right now. Pretty good, Pretty good. I
Speaker 1: want to get away from the pictures here. I want
Speaker 1: to get an update on Francisco Indoor, who ran it
Speaker 1: near full strength, full effort in a minor league game yesterday,
Speaker 1: still dealing with this calf. I remember when we first
Speaker 1: had you on right after this injury happened. I believe
Speaker 1: you you guys were a little bit more pessimistic about
Speaker 1: it. It It could affective stolen base this year obviously. Uh
Speaker 1: that you know he needs his legs, it is. They're
Speaker 1: a huge part of what what we want from him
Speaker 1: for fantasy purposes this season. I see that he hasn't
Speaker 1: been ruled out for Opening Day and he's trying to
Speaker 1: make that happen. Something like that scares me, Doc, because
Speaker 1: we're in this for the long haul. It's like if
Speaker 1: we missed the first week or two of the season
Speaker 1: with Lindor, that's fine. I want him completely healthy. I
Speaker 1: see like he's pushing for opening Day. Something like that
Speaker 1: scares me. What do you guys have on Francisco Lindoor.
Speaker 1: Uh So, the biggest thing with him is the fact
Speaker 1: that he did We did say that this great three
Speaker 1: cap strain that he had back in February on February
Speaker 1: the eight would take at least eight to nine weeks
Speaker 1: optimal recovery time, and he has passed through that. He's made,
Speaker 1: you know, pretty good strides from his recovery standpoint. Um.
Speaker 1: And so originally our HTR is March and you know,
Speaker 1: eight days away, and so that's good for opening day. However,
Speaker 1: cap strain, especially for a speedy guy and a short stop,
Speaker 1: these things tend to recur. That's why we were kind
Speaker 1: of very concerned about the ability for his stolen base
Speaker 1: count total this year because, um, you know, this is
Speaker 1: an injury that will recur um and or have a
Speaker 1: associated injury which maybe hamstring or calf, etcetera. So because
Speaker 1: it was a great three in our opinion it was
Speaker 1: a great three, that means there was some tearing of
Speaker 1: the muscle and that is going to relate the scar
Speaker 1: tissue that's relate to recurrence of injury, etcetera. So, um,
Speaker 1: you know, even though he'll be ready to go, um,
Speaker 1: you know, from a recurrent injury standpoint, um, he's still
Speaker 1: gonna stay right around right. This is why we need
Speaker 1: a dock on every week kind of bring us back
Speaker 1: down to earth. Slapped me back in because we get
Speaker 1: so excited about it. I was getting excited about Lindor
Speaker 1: again and then I needed to hear that to try
Speaker 1: and I'll me down a little bit. Well, let me
Speaker 1: ask another about another guy that I've been excited about,
Speaker 1: and that was Aaron Hicks whose back injury. He was
Speaker 1: hurt and then he was okay, but he had a
Speaker 1: quarter shot, corrozone shot, and then he was okay. Then
Speaker 1: the quarter zone shot and now he's okay. What's going
Speaker 1: on with Aaron Hicks? Well, um, I mean, you know,
Speaker 1: the back is the back is the back. I don't
Speaker 1: even want to focus on the back because you know what, Um,
Speaker 1: you know, Aaron Hicks is again great talent, just signed
Speaker 1: a seventy million dollar extension and for seven years. Also
Speaker 1: just you know for seven years. Uh that's two thousand
Speaker 1: and uh six. You know it's so uh intercostal strain, hamstring,
Speaker 1: ankle injuries all throughout two thousand and eighteen. He missed
Speaker 1: about thirty games, but didn't really play well, and a
Speaker 1: lot of them because of all these injuries old bleak strains,
Speaker 1: hamstring strains, all previous years, back injuries, etcetera. He's gonna
Speaker 1: get a lot of You're gonna hear about him and
Speaker 1: getting a lot of quarter zone shoots. The problem with
Speaker 1: this is is that when you're getting a lot of
Speaker 1: quarter zone shots in the beginning of the season. The
Speaker 1: likelihood after a hundred and sixty games season, there's just
Speaker 1: a time where you just have too many quarter zone
Speaker 1: shots and it's just not going to be effective anymore.
Speaker 1: And so there will be a bunch of injuries that
Speaker 1: he's going to have to deal with this year. He
Speaker 1: will spend more time on the d L than last year. Uh.
Speaker 1: And you know his we're expecting him right now when
Speaker 1: he starts the season probably be at an I R
Speaker 1: C of fort, which means he's gonna miss probably, you know, uh,
Speaker 1: seventies seventy five games this year. That's great. After season, Greg,
Speaker 1: we're so we're having so much fun and you just
Speaker 1: bring us down and it's not great. Doc. No, that's good.
Speaker 1: That's why we need the DOC. Here. I want to
Speaker 1: ask you about two Angels starting pitchers in particular, Andrewheny
Speaker 1: and Tyler SAgs. These guys have all the talent in
Speaker 1: the world, Doc, but they're always hurt. Specifically Andrewhini dealing
Speaker 1: with the elbow injury. He's kind of been shut down
Speaker 1: here in Angels camp. Tyler Skaggs did make another start recently,
Speaker 1: was dealing with forearm tightness. So what do you have
Speaker 1: on those two guys, I know they're always banged up,
Speaker 1: but they are super talented. Yeah, you know with Um Andrewheny.
Speaker 1: Uh you know, the elbow inflammation, that's always a red
Speaker 1: flag when you know, when we hear that those words
Speaker 1: left elbow inflammation because you know the m RID does
Speaker 1: not show structural damage. Well it does show damage, but
Speaker 1: that's just not structural you know. So remember I've always
Speaker 1: talked about these little phrases, etcetera. So there is a strain,
Speaker 1: there's a demon, there could be like you know, there's
Speaker 1: stuff there, it's just not structurally damaged, like a complete
Speaker 1: tear of anything. So, uh, here's the problem. Starting picture,
Speaker 1: throwing shoulder, throwing elbow is the most the maximum amount
Speaker 1: of torque. This is hugely concerning for us at inside
Speaker 1: injuries with Andrewhini. Just to let you know, he's put
Speaker 1: into high injury risk category now, and you know, this
Speaker 1: is something that fantasy players definitely need to you know,
Speaker 1: consider because this is a big red flag. Tyler Skaggs,
Speaker 1: the forearm fatigue is is you know, not as uh
Speaker 1: serious in our books as Um. You know, the elbow
Speaker 1: injury to Andrewheny. However, it is a throwing elbow slash
Speaker 1: forum type injury. It does put him into l elevated
Speaker 1: injury risk UM right around, so you know, for him
Speaker 1: to be making you know of the starts. If you're
Speaker 1: okay with that, then you should go with Tyler Skaggs.
Speaker 1: But the injury to UM, you know, Andrew Heini is
Speaker 1: a big red flag. One last question for you do
Speaker 1: before we let you go. Dylan Matances said he needs
Speaker 1: to start on the I L because he hasn't been
Speaker 1: able to work that shoulder off. He started camp late,
Speaker 1: he had a child. I don't know if that's real.
Speaker 1: That's an excuse. But what's up with Dylan Matances and
Speaker 1: how healthy will he be? The keyword here is impingement UM,
Speaker 1: and that's where we've targeted that. You know, they called
Speaker 1: it impingement, and they don't typically say impingement, you know,
Speaker 1: and that really concerns me because when you have impingement,
Speaker 1: that is a long drawn out process to get to that,
Speaker 1: and that will recur over and over and over and
Speaker 1: over again. Patances is going to have this problem pop up.
Speaker 1: This is a definite void if you're a fantasy player.
Speaker 1: So I own him in my main event team. Greg
Speaker 1: Oh is that what you're doing to just drop him?
Speaker 1: Should you have spots? Do not have DL spots. It's
Speaker 1: a thirty man roster. I have seven seven bench spots.
Speaker 1: I might not have a toy screat It sucks because
Speaker 1: I think Patances is super talented. But that is not
Speaker 1: A rine impingement is a difficult diagnosis, guys. It's it's
Speaker 1: it's where they're spurring on the clavicle and the chromean
Speaker 1: process and it basically pushes down into the rotator er cough.
Speaker 1: He's gonna have to have surgery to fix it eventually,
Speaker 1: and that's the problem. That's an issue. He's a free
Speaker 1: agent after this year, so we'll be long for but
Speaker 1: this year we'll see about that now dry inside injuries.
Speaker 1: We appreciate the time as always. We also appreciate the
Speaker 1: good news, not so much the bad news. We'll do
Speaker 1: again next week. Thanks for joining us, man, all right,
Speaker 1: good to be with you, guys. When we come back,
Speaker 1: I'll give you a show with Tony Off. We'll break
Speaker 1: down what we've learned over the last two days in

Speaker 1: Is this another one of those things where you just
Speaker 1: kind of missed out on it during your childhood. Old
Speaker 1: Girls wasn't everything, wasn't Golden Girls like much much older
Speaker 1: than us. I don't know. I watched it a lot
Speaker 1: when I was growing up. Golden Girls is like the
Speaker 1: seven of my grandparents and stuff, right any mutch the
Speaker 1: Golden Girls, you don't know anything about them. So if
Speaker 1: I asked you who was your favorite, you wouldn't have
Speaker 1: an answer to that, obviously. No, I don't even know.
Speaker 1: I don't know. I can't know. I don't know if
Speaker 1: any of the girls are any of them far faster
Speaker 1: Golden Girl, I don't know. I don't know Betty White.
Speaker 1: Come on, Greg, you gotta know Betty White. I know
Speaker 1: bet you know she was a Golden Girl. Then what's
Speaker 1: for those watching, for those listening on the radio. I mean,
Speaker 1: I'm making faces at you right now. Greg. You don't
Speaker 1: know any of the Golden Girls at all. You don't,
Speaker 1: I don't understand. I don't know what to tell you.
Speaker 1: No cartoons, no Golden Girls. It was just rooting on
Speaker 1: his terms as a little child. As long as the
Speaker 1: terms we have. Anyone downstairs who've seen the Golden girls.
Speaker 1: I mean, I feel like Vona has to love the
Speaker 1: Golden Girl. Why are we talking about the golden girls?
Speaker 1: You know which march madness is on talking about golden girls.
Speaker 1: I'm not doing this anymore, not love golden girls. Who's

Speaker 1: I watched it live? Any each year? O memories as
Speaker 1: a child? You're talking about childhood, Frank m M. Nothing
Speaker 1: crazy stands out to me for each year. I remember
Speaker 1: a couple of years ago when I worked at MLB
Speaker 1: dot com he got his three thousand pitch or Eclipse
Speaker 1: three thousand as a member of the Marlins. It was
Speaker 1: very cool. Absolutely that stands out to me. You know,
Speaker 1: each year, obviously winning that m VP his first season,
Speaker 1: along with the Rookie of the Year, incredibly impressive. How
Speaker 1: good he was was remarkable, how consistent he was one
Speaker 1: that was only you were thirty at that point I
Speaker 1: was ten. How consistent he was throughout his career, the
Speaker 1: arm was always ridiculous. That was awesome, that was very
Speaker 1: very cool. I thought, I'm looking at his yearly games played.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna talk about an iron man. Yeah, I played
Speaker 1: a million games. Yeah, his first listen to four six
Speaker 1: eight years, never played below a hundred fifty seven games.
Speaker 1: He's great. Man. I don't tell you. I mean, you
Speaker 1: don't have to tell me anything. Yeah, man, he's really good.
Speaker 1: I've never actually looked at his his yearly production, so
Speaker 1: maybe you don't know how good he was. Being perfectly honest,
Speaker 1: I didn't. I didn't play Fantasy BASEBA when I was
Speaker 1: ten years old. Yeah, a good pick. I sud start
Speaker 1: playing fantasy baseball until two thousand eight, two thousand nine,
Speaker 1: that was my senior year of high school. I started
Speaker 1: playing fantasy baseball in two thousand and three oh three,
Speaker 1: not that I Dada played before I did, though, like
Speaker 1: with my friends, it was like my dad friends, it
Speaker 1: was like oh, three oh four or something like that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: were you in high school then, m yeah, yeah, but
Speaker 1: my dad played before I was in high school. I
Speaker 1: was into it. I didn't. I didn't join the league
Speaker 1: of my friends to my freshman year of high school.
Speaker 1: Did your pops get you into fancy? Yeah? Yeah, same here. Yep.
Speaker 1: Actually my dad used to play when I was a
Speaker 1: kid and he had to mail the team in. It
Speaker 1: was really the internet. Wow, I mean think about it,
Speaker 1: like the The Internet didn't really start popping off until nineties. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so I'm a kid, he's asking this, you know, what
Speaker 1: do you want to name the team? Um? You know
Speaker 1: when he wanted to make pickups and stuff and lineup
Speaker 1: you have to mail it in. It was crazy, That's awesome.
Speaker 1: I got Johnny Stani want to get into it. I
Speaker 1: don't know we was. We signed Johnny up for baseball,
Speaker 1: for t ball, he just wasn't from Yeah, yeah, I

Speaker 1: sixty five and some science test it was like bad science.

Speaker 1: what because they're talking about it. So my dad, So
Speaker 1: my dad said, come on, who's the bass? Like are
Speaker 1: you grabing me? Not? So not you if I tape
Speaker 1: row for you so you can watch it now. So
Speaker 1: that was the raw that Xbox came back and debuted
Speaker 1: with Triple H and d X and the New Age
Speaker 1: Outlaws joined d X as well. That's a great raw.
Speaker 1: And indeed, so I want to start Hunter Strickland because
Speaker 1: there's a lot of questions in regards to Hunter Strickland right,
Speaker 1: he's how good he would be. It will be the
Speaker 1: closer peripherals, all that nonsense. Two games, two saves, he's
Speaker 1: on pace for a hundred and sixty two with them
Speaker 1: probably people a little lone Hunter Shreckland. I think, you know,
Speaker 1: if people for people who haven't drafted yet, he's gonna
Speaker 1: get pulled up aboards big time. Greg And I think,
Speaker 1: you know, he definitely should move up in the rankings
Speaker 1: because he's the closer as of right now. And you know,
Speaker 1: we can only say that about fifteen sixteen guys in baseball,
Speaker 1: and now he's one of them. You know, I had
Speaker 1: Hunter Strickland ranked outside my top thirty. Just looking at
Speaker 1: this now, I feel like I should move him, let's say,
Speaker 1: up to one e two in that area in terms
Speaker 1: of the rankings for for relief pictures, I feel like
Speaker 1: he should be in that Jose Alvarado David Robertson area
Speaker 1: because David Robertson, as good as he is, you don't
Speaker 1: know if he's gonna get every same opportunity he's not.
Speaker 1: I mean, Gabe Kapler employed a closer by committee last year,
Speaker 1: probably gonna do the same this season with David Robertson
Speaker 1: and tr Anthony Dominguez, And you don't know who the
Speaker 1: Rays are gonna have for sure, Hunter Strickland, while you
Speaker 1: know he might not be the best picture of all time,
Speaker 1: the marriage might win not might not win the most
Speaker 1: games this season, he's a closer. Should I have him
Speaker 1: ranked even higher? I mean, how high would you pull
Speaker 1: him on the board? Should he go in like that?
Speaker 1: Cody Allen? So that's where I had him originally, And
Speaker 1: so we talked to Jim and he's like, he's not good.
Speaker 1: You don't do this. He's the guy sport Zack was
Speaker 1: was battling it out for the closer job. What I
Speaker 1: believe Anthony Swarzak has heard Greg. I don't even think
Speaker 1: he's with him right now. He hasn't. He hasn't. He
Speaker 1: didn't pitch in either game, Anthony. Yeah, he's opening a
Speaker 1: year on the on the injured list right shoulder injuries.
Speaker 1: So that was that was the main comp correct. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Also we mentioned briefly at the top of the show,
Speaker 1: Domingo Santana home run yesterday, soul on base today. And
Speaker 1: I don't think I got to this on the air.
Speaker 1: I think I spoke to you guys about it off air.
Speaker 1: I saw a tweet yesterday about Edwin and Carnacione. There
Speaker 1: was him, he was seen giving advice to Domingo Santanana.
Speaker 1: And this these are one of the narratives in baseball
Speaker 1: that I could buy into. When you bring in a veteran,
Speaker 1: both players are from the Dominican Republic. You know, a
Speaker 1: veteran like Edwin and Carnacion, he has a lot of
Speaker 1: knowledge that he can can give to a player like
Speaker 1: Domingo Santana. I mean, they're not that dissimilar. I mean
Speaker 1: they know. Domingo strikes out a lot, he has big
Speaker 1: pop in his bat. Uh, you know, he has more
Speaker 1: speed than a guy like Incarnacion ever had. But you know,
Speaker 1: if there are a few things that he can learn
Speaker 1: here and there from Incarnacione, maybe that's the difference between
Speaker 1: him hitting, you know, twenty five home runs and thirty plus.
Speaker 1: So I buy into things like that big year coming
Speaker 1: for Domingo. Big year, I hope so for Domingo Santana.
Speaker 1: Basically this week though, these these two days, UM, anybody
Speaker 1: you've had in fantasy unfreaking believable you've had in fantasy
Speaker 1: basketball the last couple of days fantasy baseball. This is
Speaker 1: where my head's at today. Obviously I'm not a I'm
Speaker 1: in one place. Um no, my my mind's again in
Speaker 1: in one places, but it's not a fantasy baseball. Anybody
Speaker 1: you've had that's kind of been productive, right, You've got
Speaker 1: the home run today from Mitch Hannigan. Great, you got
Speaker 1: the home run yesterday, fro Chris Davis, home run yesterday
Speaker 1: from Steven Biscotty, stolen base yesterday from he hasn't do
Speaker 1: much right the home run, home run. But but pretty
Speaker 1: much anybody that you've had been pretty successful, even you
Speaker 1: know Kuchi, I don't he didn't get the win, but
Speaker 1: Kakuchi pitch, which okay it was in Japan, hold know not.
Speaker 1: He goes four and two thirds and he's pitched three strikeouts,
Speaker 1: is thrown in his first start too, So alright, I mean,
Speaker 1: pretty good start there only only one on the run allowed,
Speaker 1: goes ninety pitches, So that's that's That's how I think.
Speaker 1: One takeaway here that I have Greg, which is maybe
Speaker 1: under the radar. I remember the other day we had
Speaker 1: Gentleman Colin asking us about a only Chad Pinder has
Speaker 1: started both games. Greg started for the ogan A's. Both
Speaker 1: of them have been in left field, and I know
Speaker 1: Chad Pinder was one of these guys who randomly popped
Speaker 1: up on a lot of stat cash starts last year. Greg, So,
Speaker 1: he's gonna have the opportunity to play every single day
Speaker 1: at Pinder Any interest I think in in ale only leagues, yes,
Speaker 1: I don't plays anyone has a pulse, correct, I don't.
Speaker 1: I don't think in deeper mixed leagues. I'm interested yet
Speaker 1: now I don't thirteen home runs in ten games last year.
Speaker 1: He had fifteen home runs two years ago and only
Speaker 1: eighty seven games, Greg, So strikes out a decent amount,
Speaker 1: but if he plays every day, might get closer to
Speaker 1: home runs. Again, This is a only I mean, exactly
Speaker 1: deeper leagues, exactly for your twelve team leagues. I mean,
Speaker 1: I don't think Ad Pinner's on the radar, but it
Speaker 1: is worth mentioning that he has started both games in
Speaker 1: left field, and he took over first base today. Greg,
Speaker 1: you know why because Madelson got hurt. So Matt Olson
Speaker 1: got hit in the hands. That's another player that didn't
Speaker 1: really do anything besides get hurt. Met Olsen and run
Speaker 1: scored today. Okay, smet Olsen got hurt. That's obviously very
Speaker 1: frustrating to us. Hopefully telling serious hope you like break
Speaker 1: his finger and break his hand would be so frustrating.
Speaker 1: Um but all right, but Olson one of those guys that,
Speaker 1: you know, hopefully we get more out of it. They
Speaker 1: did face two left handed starting pitchers. They started both games,
Speaker 1: and then started both of those Rosser resource actually hits
Speaker 1: him as a platoon player. They also want to note
Speaker 1: they faced two left handers, and even deep in the
Speaker 1: game from Matt Olsen, they faced lefty. Medilson stayed in
Speaker 1: the game, so I thought that was good. Medals is
Speaker 1: gonna play every day. But he was one of these players.
Speaker 1: He played every single game last year. So now it
Speaker 1: sucks that you got hit on the hand. We'll see
Speaker 1: what happens with this. We're only speculating, but if he potentially,
Speaker 1: you know, has to miss any time, that's gonna suck
Speaker 1: from add Olsen. But they have Chad Pinder who can
Speaker 1: fill in Jerkson profile who they can move around the
Speaker 1: diamond as well. They have Mark Canna who play against
Speaker 1: left handed pitching. But Medelsen was, you know, someone who
Speaker 1: played every single day last year. I didn't worry about
Speaker 1: splits coming in. I don't worry about him against left
Speaker 1: handed pitching. H just hope that he's healthy. See Medson,
Speaker 1: Mike Fires look particularly terrible, like like like you would expect. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he's pitching is the A's pitching is atrucious, very bad.
Speaker 1: That's why they need a Lozardo. Greg, like, it's really bad.
Speaker 1: You want to know who is in their rotation as
Speaker 1: of right now, Greg, roster Resource has two starting pictures.
Speaker 1: Is there any starter you can make? Fires and Marco
Speaker 1: is strata and they both got two pictures that started
Speaker 1: the past. Gastroto didn't get bombed. What do you give
Speaker 1: a three year and runs not quality the first day?
Speaker 1: I thought, when I woke up today and was looking
Speaker 1: at the box score, when I see Marco Astrada's name,
Speaker 1: I mean, he's just someone I want to play everyone
Speaker 1: against me. Honestly, you gave him three runs, two of
Speaker 1: them are home runs. I mean, this guy is just
Speaker 1: he's a t ball totally totally like the other starters.
Speaker 1: What are the other starters old right now? I mean,
Speaker 1: Roster Resource only has two guys in their rotation. Other
Speaker 1: players that they have inactive include britt Anderson, so he's that. Um.
Speaker 1: They have Frankie Mantas as long relief, who actually wouldn't
Speaker 1: have my attend. Montas Man is one of those guys.
Speaker 1: He was He was a big prospect a couple of
Speaker 1: years ago and then just kind of fell off the
Speaker 1: face of the earth. But we were streaming him at
Speaker 1: some point last year. I know we were, So maybe
Speaker 1: maybe he's one. They have Chris Bassett as inactive, so
Speaker 1: maybe he's in the rotation as well. They have him
Speaker 1: listed as a starting pitcher. Aaron Brooks not Aaron Brooks
Speaker 1: who played in the NBA, former Oregon deductor Aaron Brooks,
Speaker 1: the football player there for that played for the Saints
Speaker 1: would be I don't think so. But Frankie Mantas you
Speaker 1: asked it. Would I have interest in anyone in the
Speaker 1: a's rotation anybody? I think Frankie Mantas is a name
Speaker 1: that outside of him. No thanks, all right, Um, did
Speaker 1: anybody's value go significantly up or down over the last
Speaker 1: two days? I don't think we should judge much based
Speaker 1: on two days. People are very reactionary, very very reactionary.
Speaker 1: I could see Ryan hen See, Domingo Santanna it was
Speaker 1: keeps climbing well. But the only hiddie guy really has
Speaker 1: two hits right. One was the home run was a double.
Speaker 1: I was he it was grand sire. It's a home
Speaker 1: run and he's stottle base though. Just a little reminder, hey,
Speaker 1: I can steel fifteen bases this year. That's it. Nobody
Speaker 1: else moves like the d Gordon move for you at all.
Speaker 1: Liked Gordon, like seeing him at the talblet, the line
Speaker 1: up running really an active target of mind. It's just
Speaker 1: it comes down to roster construction for the weekend. In
Speaker 1: the main event, had a lot of badding. Amrhage had
Speaker 1: power and he steals and get Gordon. But I've been
Speaker 1: a little reminder of de Gordon. That was one. So
Speaker 1: that's good. That was male Smith heard he's gonna lead off.
Speaker 1: So for me, what I what I've learned about the
Speaker 1: last two days. A little reminder of de Gordon, little
Speaker 1: reminder of Steven Piscotti. Those are two things I learned.
Speaker 1: Bencher joined his next BF Hour two rolls on after
Speaker 1: this
