61
00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:56,400
Speaker 3: I don't know what eight years of being friends and

62
00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:58,480
Speaker 3: working together for I don't know, it's sixteen and a half,

63
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:01,720
Speaker 3: close to ten, right, we finally got to be in

64
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:04,720
Speaker 3: a room together drinking whiskey last week in Arizona.

65
00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:05,720
Speaker 1: It was glorious.

66
00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:08,000
Speaker 3: You know, sometimes you meet people and you're like, this

67
00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:11,919
Speaker 3: person's different than I imagined in person. Nope, completely the same.

68
00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:15,120
Speaker 3: And Paul, you know what we almost did. We almost

69
00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:17,240
Speaker 3: just held up our phones and zoomed across the table

70
00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:19,200
Speaker 3: from each other, just because that's how we're used to

71
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:19,480
Speaker 3: see it.

72
00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:23,120
Speaker 5: Yeah, because it was. It was weird being right there

73
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:26,200
Speaker 5: and he could reach out and touch him. But no,

74
00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:29,280
Speaker 5: I agree, Welsh, meeting you in person, not putting on

75
00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:32,600
Speaker 5: airs on his shows. He's exactly who you get. So

76
00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:33,960
Speaker 5: if you like him on the show, you're gonna love

77
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:36,000
Speaker 5: him in person, because we've hung out many a time

78
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:36,480
Speaker 5: and I love.

79
00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:37,840
Speaker 4: The yeah or the end.

80
00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:40,560
Speaker 5: You don't like him on the show, then you're not

81
00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:41,360
Speaker 5: gonna like him in person.

82
00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:43,320
Speaker 4: Definitely not going to like me in person. It was fun,

83
00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:44,400
Speaker 4: and I'm sure.

84
00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:46,120
Speaker 5: People feel that way about me too. There's plenty of

85
00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:47,280
Speaker 5: people that do not like me.

86
00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:49,440
Speaker 3: Well, I think that's how I think that's kind of

87
00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:51,960
Speaker 3: r m O right, Like we're kind of the unlikable

88
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:55,040
Speaker 3: rebels of fantasy Baseball, where we have different ideas and

89
00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:57,480
Speaker 3: we kind of break away from the norm. But but Welsh,

90
00:03:57,520 --> 00:03:59,240
Speaker 3: I knew you were much taller than me. I already

91
00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:01,240
Speaker 3: knew that going in so there was no surprise there.

92
00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:03,280
Speaker 3: But I gotta say, man, it was really nice to

93
00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:05,760
Speaker 3: finally connect with you in person after all these years,

94
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:09,119
Speaker 3: have a couple fine whiskeys with you and hang out.

95
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:11,440
Speaker 3: Plus you got to meet my even more Italian cousin,

96
00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:12,400
Speaker 3: which I'm sure was a trip.

97
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:14,280
Speaker 1: And we all went to breakfast the next day.

98
00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:17,040
Speaker 6: Dude, I'm telling you, we can do our own podcast

99
00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:20,680
Speaker 6: on the conversations that were had on on that entire

100
00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:23,359
Speaker 6: dinner and breakfast with just I mean, I was just

101
00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:26,440
Speaker 6: surrounded by Italian It was It was an intense in

102
00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:27,960
Speaker 6: a very good way, but it.

103
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:30,280
Speaker 5: Was a good Italian No.

104
00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:34,920
Speaker 6: We we had pancakes the next There's been a very

105
00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:38,120
Speaker 6: heated discussion of pancakes versus waffles. Joe Pisa has joined

106
00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:40,840
Speaker 6: me in the pancake ordering. There were no waffles that

107
00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:41,880
Speaker 6: were ordered, so I just want.

108
00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:44,719
Speaker 5: To waffles are way better. Pancakes are lazy waffles.

109
00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:46,119
Speaker 4: But see my debate.

110
00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:50,120
Speaker 6: My argument has always been if a waffle's done right,

111
00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:53,920
Speaker 6: it's better. But waffles are hit or miss, like they

112
00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:55,480
Speaker 6: can meet you crunchy and banakes.

113
00:04:56,680 --> 00:04:59,320
Speaker 5: I don't I don't think they are. Have Nick Pollock

114
00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:00,840
Speaker 5: make you some pan cakes and let's see how you

115
00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:04,120
Speaker 5: enjoy those. Are you familiar with with that psychopath's uh

116
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:06,400
Speaker 5: plan of attack with a with a pancake?

117
00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:07,800
Speaker 4: Doesn't he not eat it with syrup?

118
00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:11,800
Speaker 5: No? He likes runny pancakes.

119
00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:14,279
Speaker 4: Oh what first off, liquid pancake.

120
00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:18,600
Speaker 5: If you're ever describing anything as runny, that's food. Oh

121
00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:22,440
Speaker 5: just just leave, just leave the premises like lead the eggs.

122
00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:25,440
Speaker 5: That's so vile to me. But yeah, he likes them

123
00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:28,000
Speaker 5: like a little undercooked or something. I don't know.

124
00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:31,120
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, so don't don't say that they're poisoning.

125
00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:35,240
Speaker 5: Yeah, don't say that they're never wrong versions.

126
00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:36,320
Speaker 4: I feel very special.

127
00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:39,039
Speaker 6: I have meant all of you in person, like I

128
00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:42,160
Speaker 6: don't if you and Sport hung out and had time

129
00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:44,960
Speaker 6: to many times. Okay, yeah, so like this is amazing,

130
00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:47,080
Speaker 6: Like it's not that common that all of these great,

131
00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:49,760
Speaker 6: you know, fantasy minds get to be together, but we've

132
00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:54,200
Speaker 6: all actually been friends in person. I don't want to

133
00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:56,039
Speaker 6: be around Nick anymore though. If that's the case with

134
00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:57,279
Speaker 6: the running pancakes, I'm.

135
00:05:57,120 --> 00:05:59,800
Speaker 5: Telling you, I went to think he's such a nice

136
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:02,480
Speaker 5: and so great and all that and so smart. Blah

137
00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:05,640
Speaker 5: blah blah. You have some have fun with your snot pancakes. Okay,

138
00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:06,520
Speaker 5: so he's like.

139
00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:10,920
Speaker 6: Let me tell you about that's w and running pancakes.

140
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:13,320
Speaker 3: It's also more like the idea of him ordering it out,

141
00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:14,840
Speaker 3: like it's one thing if you do in your own house,

142
00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:15,799
Speaker 3: like that's your business.

143
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:18,440
Speaker 1: But if you're going out breakfast.

144
00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:19,800
Speaker 5: Don't finish it. And then like, what do you mean,

145
00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:22,040
Speaker 5: like when you're cooking the pancakes, don't quite finish it.

146
00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:23,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, it takes ten minutes.

147
00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:27,400
Speaker 6: Just come back in seven and seven and slop them

148
00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:29,520
Speaker 6: on the plate, onto the plate.

149
00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:32,840
Speaker 1: I'll sur this sort of attempt to change this conversation,

150
00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:35,800
Speaker 1: Paul Sport, How are you holding up in terms of

151
00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:38,960
Speaker 1: non breakfast related things with no baseball? I know it's

152
00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:42,599
Speaker 1: March eighth that we're recording this, and we expected to

153
00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:45,160
Speaker 1: have spring training and going hot and heavy right now

154
00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:47,360
Speaker 1: not so much. How are you holding up through the crisis.

155
00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:50,720
Speaker 5: It's not great. You know, I'm not particularly thrilled about it.

156
00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:54,159
Speaker 5: I fell for the little bit of excitement last week

157
00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:57,279
Speaker 5: or whatever, two weeks ago, whenever that was now, But

158
00:06:57,360 --> 00:06:59,400
Speaker 5: I know there's been a little bit more excitement drummed

159
00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:01,680
Speaker 5: up today with which is March eighth? If you're listening

160
00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:03,599
Speaker 5: to this not exactly when it comes out, or I

161
00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:06,000
Speaker 5: don't know exactly when it's coming out, but I'm not

162
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:08,320
Speaker 5: getting in on that hype now. When a deal happens,

163
00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:10,440
Speaker 5: it happens. I'll just kind of play wait and see.

164
00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:13,600
Speaker 5: My livelihood is tied to it, right. We work in

165
00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:16,119
Speaker 5: the you know, with the game, and we need games

166
00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:19,880
Speaker 5: to be playing. But I am fortunate that if they

167
00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:22,680
Speaker 5: push this further and they are complete clowns about it,

168
00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:25,680
Speaker 5: I've got Twitch, I've got MLB the show still coming out,

169
00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:28,080
Speaker 5: I've got things that I can do that are baseball related.

170
00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:31,400
Speaker 5: So some of my brethren who are entirely tied to

171
00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:34,920
Speaker 5: games being played and writing about it, whether it's as

172
00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:37,880
Speaker 5: a reporter for the on the field game or fantasy

173
00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:41,920
Speaker 5: folks like us, I feel worse for them because there

174
00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:44,800
Speaker 5: isn't necessarily a backup plan and what happens if this

175
00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:48,559
Speaker 5: pushes into June or July and maybe places stop stop

176
00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:50,840
Speaker 5: paying and say, hey, we got a shelvy for a

177
00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:53,240
Speaker 5: little bit. So stuff like that really bums me out.

178
00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:55,000
Speaker 5: You know, we had it during the pandemic, but that

179
00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:57,400
Speaker 5: was more of everyone was kind of feeling the pain together.

180
00:07:57,440 --> 00:07:59,480
Speaker 5: We could kind of come together and say, hey, we're

181
00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:01,920
Speaker 5: all in this together, will make it. But now it

182
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:05,760
Speaker 5: might be like just the baseball folks, right, because we're

183
00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:08,840
Speaker 5: having our own issue over here, and it's it's so

184
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:12,680
Speaker 5: sad and and there's no both sides. There's no the

185
00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:15,480
Speaker 5: players are in this too. If you're ever starting down

186
00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:18,360
Speaker 5: that path, you've lost me. I'm just I'm not going

187
00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:21,560
Speaker 5: to hear it, because why should they have to give

188
00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:26,480
Speaker 5: every single time? The owners are billionaires? Just because billionaire

189
00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:28,840
Speaker 5: and millionaire rhyme doesn't mean they're close. They couldn't be

190
00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:32,880
Speaker 5: further apart. And so I think it's all on the

191
00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:34,040
Speaker 5: owners entirely.

192
00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:36,920
Speaker 1: All right, Well do you get that same feely too?

193
00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:38,040
Speaker 1: It's it all on the owners for you.

194
00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:44,000
Speaker 6: I mean the owners are the ones that have the

195
00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:48,200
Speaker 6: stop like they have the hammer, right, yeah, yeah.

196
00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:51,160
Speaker 5: Did the lockout. They're the ones whole like it's all

197
00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:51,840
Speaker 5: on them.

198
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:52,320
Speaker 1: Yeah.

199
00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:56,600
Speaker 6: My only disagreement, it's not even a disagreement because I

200
00:08:56,600 --> 00:08:58,480
Speaker 6: think I do sit a little bit on the side

201
00:08:58,520 --> 00:09:01,800
Speaker 6: of like both parties are are playing a game right now,

202
00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:03,040
Speaker 6: like maybe.

203
00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:06,240
Speaker 5: The end result versus Goliath would reason for Goliath.

204
00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:09,599
Speaker 4: I'm not necessarily sure that that it's like that. It

205
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:10,679
Speaker 4: might be more.

206
00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:13,520
Speaker 6: It might be more like Batman versus Superman and they're

207
00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:14,520
Speaker 6: both screaming for Martha.

208
00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:16,679
Speaker 4: Though no, no, but but but here's the only thing

209
00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:18,280
Speaker 4: I'm saying is is, at the end.

210
00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:21,480
Speaker 6: Of the day, there is a result that I believe

211
00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:25,160
Speaker 6: is tied to the owners needing to fix. But there's

212
00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:28,760
Speaker 6: a game being played in this. The players are playing

213
00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:31,160
Speaker 6: a game as well. I'm I'm all ownership here, this

214
00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:34,199
Speaker 6: is owner but the games the players are also playing

215
00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:37,360
Speaker 6: negotiating tactics. They're playing the same public tactics. Maybe have

216
00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:39,839
Speaker 6: the necessity that they have, but it is.

217
00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:41,959
Speaker 5: Yeah, because they don't have the leverage, so they have

218
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:44,520
Speaker 5: to play whatever they they have.

219
00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:46,880
Speaker 6: Leverage they have, they have, they have leverage for their play.

220
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:49,920
Speaker 6: But again, I don't want this to sound like I'm.

221
00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:51,600
Speaker 5: I know it does.

222
00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:53,559
Speaker 1: You're such a man.

223
00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:58,280
Speaker 5: Trying to both sides. It is a bad take. I'm sorry,

224
00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:01,000
Speaker 5: I love you, man, but that's a garbage that the players,

225
00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:03,760
Speaker 5: they don't have anywhere near the same leverage. Their play

226
00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:06,680
Speaker 5: is not leverage. The owners don't care. They're already cancling gifts.

227
00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:08,520
Speaker 5: They don't care at all. They don't care about that.

228
00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:10,280
Speaker 4: Oh, they don't care right now. They don't care right now.

229
00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:12,480
Speaker 6: They're gonna care in a couple of weeks when the

230
00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:16,040
Speaker 6: bill comes due from the television companies like Jason Hayward

231
00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:16,480
Speaker 6: put out.

232
00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:18,920
Speaker 4: But but you know what, this it's similar again.

233
00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:23,280
Speaker 6: I am one hundred percent in that the crux of

234
00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:27,360
Speaker 6: the villain here, the ultimate villain is the owners. But

235
00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:31,600
Speaker 6: like all stories, there's not a suit. There's not one

236
00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:34,920
Speaker 6: hero and there's not one villain. Sometimes everyone's playing similar roles.

237
00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:38,240
Speaker 6: My only argument is is there's kind of stories.

238
00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:39,040
Speaker 4: What's up.

239
00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:41,920
Speaker 5: This is not one of those stories. It's David versus Golith.

240
00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:44,600
Speaker 4: I'm sorry, and again maybe that is the case.

241
00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:47,439
Speaker 6: My only thing is is when the players start to

242
00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:50,600
Speaker 6: play the games, that's where I'm like, listen, there's two

243
00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:52,559
Speaker 6: sides doing this at the end of the day, the

244
00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:56,679
Speaker 6: owners that the players have to acquiesce to what the

245
00:10:56,720 --> 00:10:59,200
Speaker 6: owners will allow, which is the problem here. The owners

246
00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:02,719
Speaker 6: do hold back the car they own, the hands off

247
00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:03,760
Speaker 6: on both sides thing.

248
00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:05,559
Speaker 5: And I don't want to derail the entire pot on this,

249
00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:08,760
Speaker 5: but like that's why it's not a both good job.

250
00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:13,000
Speaker 5: I just want to equal play here because it's still

251
00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:15,240
Speaker 5: all in it. They locked them out. They didn't come

252
00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:17,760
Speaker 5: to the barnaining table for six weeks. Yes, the players

253
00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:19,319
Speaker 5: are going to have some tactics. They have to try

254
00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:21,240
Speaker 5: to get any ounce of leverage they can. Again, it's

255
00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:23,880
Speaker 5: David versus Goliath. They'ven got to get that rock and

256
00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:26,480
Speaker 5: shoot it. So, yeah, you can say that they're playing

257
00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:27,439
Speaker 5: some games, but I don't.

258
00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:27,800
Speaker 1: I don't.

259
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:31,160
Speaker 5: I don't have any objection to them using whatever that

260
00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:33,840
Speaker 5: they can't because they have negative leverage at this point.

261
00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:36,360
Speaker 5: So I mean, the last piece on it, I'll leave you,

262
00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:37,400
Speaker 5: leave you with the last word.

263
00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:39,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, No, I mean I would, just I don't like that.

264
00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:41,040
Speaker 4: It's a guard. I don't think what I said is

265
00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:42,760
Speaker 4: a garbage to take at all. It's they're they're playing

266
00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:43,040
Speaker 4: the game.

267
00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:46,720
Speaker 6: Eighty percent of this is on the ownership. But like

268
00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:47,520
Speaker 6: not everybody.

269
00:11:47,679 --> 00:11:52,120
Speaker 4: There's not Rosie Rainbow puppy dogs over here. And in

270
00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:55,080
Speaker 4: every side of everything, be it political, be it sports,

271
00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:57,559
Speaker 4: being anything, everybody is playing roles in it.

272
00:11:57,800 --> 00:12:00,920
Speaker 5: We'll save this for offline. Yeah, text me what what

273
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:05,079
Speaker 5: the players are doing that's problematic in any capacity, because I.

274
00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:07,200
Speaker 1: Want to see I don't wait for those I can't

275
00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:10,240
Speaker 1: wait for those texts to leak into the public domain.

276
00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:12,880
Speaker 3: By the way, Rosy Rainbow Unicorns is also my MB

277
00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:13,560
Speaker 3: the show name.

278
00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:17,920
Speaker 1: If anybody wants to play, we can do it publicly.

279
00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:21,079
Speaker 5: But I'm just saying like, let's move forward in this pod.

280
00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:24,840
Speaker 5: Text me what you think they're doing wrong. No, I'll

281
00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:26,760
Speaker 5: hear you out. But I just don't any tour.

282
00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:30,120
Speaker 3: I don't think it's And look, I actually am more

283
00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:32,840
Speaker 3: on I'm more on the player side than on the

284
00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:36,240
Speaker 3: other side. With that as the difficult thing I think

285
00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:40,480
Speaker 3: is the perception of the MLB union is so powerful.

286
00:12:40,679 --> 00:12:43,200
Speaker 3: All the money is guaranteed. Compared to the other sports,

287
00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:46,360
Speaker 3: it's a very different structure where they have, I guess,

288
00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:49,880
Speaker 3: comparatively speaking, so much more on their side than other

289
00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:55,040
Speaker 3: players unions and other sports by comparison that it is true,

290
00:12:55,559 --> 00:12:58,360
Speaker 3: it doesn't matter for this telling you about the perception,

291
00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:01,240
Speaker 3: I think. I think the perception you've already got the

292
00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:03,880
Speaker 3: best deal. Well, I think it's you've already got the

293
00:13:03,880 --> 00:13:08,160
Speaker 3: best deal in sports. Why are you fighting over again?

294
00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:11,640
Speaker 3: For the lay person's perspective, it's the.

295
00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:14,079
Speaker 5: Billionaire Because you can just flip it right on its head.

296
00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:16,960
Speaker 5: The billionaires have exponentially more money, and yet they're fighting

297
00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:21,640
Speaker 5: for everything. It's much worse that the owners are doing

298
00:13:21,679 --> 00:13:26,000
Speaker 5: it because billionaires watch billionaire versus millionaire Rice. Google that

299
00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:27,880
Speaker 5: and you find out the difference between the two. Again,

300
00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:30,080
Speaker 5: just because they rhyme doesn't mean they're anywhere in the

301
00:13:30,080 --> 00:13:31,040
Speaker 5: same stratosphere.

302
00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:34,360
Speaker 6: And the close analogy I could give because I agree,

303
00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:36,079
Speaker 6: like you've got to take a stand. And that's why, like,

304
00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:38,199
Speaker 6: I don't think there's a problem with all of the things

305
00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:40,320
Speaker 6: that are going on. I just don't look at this

306
00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:42,720
Speaker 6: as like, well, that's the hero and that's the villain,

307
00:13:42,760 --> 00:13:45,120
Speaker 6: and there's no bad is done here and all the

308
00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:47,920
Speaker 6: bad is there. It's like no, it's like like a

309
00:13:47,960 --> 00:13:50,719
Speaker 6: court case then text the bad that the players have done.

310
00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:55,160
Speaker 4: But again, let me just finish. Let me finish to thank.

311
00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:57,360
Speaker 3: Everybody for being here on the podcast today. It's been

312
00:13:57,400 --> 00:13:59,640
Speaker 3: a fun show, and let me just finish.

313
00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:02,000
Speaker 6: My last things go ahead, it's just last thing and

314
00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:03,320
Speaker 6: we can move on because I want to talk about

315
00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:06,920
Speaker 6: this either. It's ridiculous you are black and white about this.

316
00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:08,880
Speaker 6: I am not black and white about this. You are like,

317
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:10,959
Speaker 6: tell me the things that are wrong. I'm just saying

318
00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:13,680
Speaker 6: I look at this like a court case where you've

319
00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:16,320
Speaker 6: got a plaintiff and you've got to defend it, okay,

320
00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:19,800
Speaker 6: and then in between there there are scuzzy lawyers doing

321
00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:24,280
Speaker 6: scuzy lawyer things to make everybody uncomfortable and to win

322
00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:27,040
Speaker 6: their side whatever they have to do. And that's the

323
00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:30,280
Speaker 6: only I'm only looking at. Like everyone's playing the games

324
00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:34,560
Speaker 6: with tactics. And sometimes the plaintiffs look really gross because

325
00:14:34,680 --> 00:14:36,640
Speaker 6: or the defendants either way, whichever type of case you're

326
00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:39,520
Speaker 6: looking at, but everybody's playing this game that makes it

327
00:14:39,560 --> 00:14:42,120
Speaker 6: all feel a little bit eh, And it's like, do

328
00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:44,640
Speaker 6: we have every little best interest in there?

329
00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:46,000
Speaker 4: That's all that I'm saying.

330
00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:50,400
Speaker 3: This is why I just want to This is why

331
00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:53,640
Speaker 3: you should also be subscribing to our Fantasy pros MLB

332
00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:57,800
Speaker 3: channel because during that last salvel from Welsh, spot actually

333
00:14:57,800 --> 00:15:01,680
Speaker 3: took his glasses off and began the glasses And that

334
00:15:01,800 --> 00:15:03,880
Speaker 3: is one of my favorite like techniques of when you're

335
00:15:03,880 --> 00:15:06,640
Speaker 3: listening to somebody and you're ready, it's it's very uh,

336
00:15:06,720 --> 00:15:08,800
Speaker 3: it's very talking about Southern lawyer like.

337
00:15:10,760 --> 00:15:13,680
Speaker 1: I do to y'alla.

338
00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:16,080
Speaker 3: I must say, mister Welsh does make a very convincing

339
00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:20,440
Speaker 3: Please if I speak mister Welsh.

340
00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:25,760
Speaker 7: You going on, I get like, so it sounds bad,

341
00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:27,840
Speaker 7: but I guess the only reason I took any of

342
00:15:27,840 --> 00:15:30,320
Speaker 7: that stance was when you were just like, hey, listen,

343
00:15:30,480 --> 00:15:33,000
Speaker 7: it's one, there's no and it's just like I just

344
00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:35,680
Speaker 7: don't necessarily that we.

345
00:15:35,640 --> 00:15:38,280
Speaker 5: Could disagree, and we can disagree and we're still friends

346
00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:42,280
Speaker 5: because like, well, no, we were never friends to start,

347
00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:44,840
Speaker 5: but like that, we can definitely have dis even even

348
00:15:44,840 --> 00:15:49,080
Speaker 5: stark disagreements here. But I can't let you just go

349
00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:51,800
Speaker 5: with the nebulous. I can't tell you what's wrong with them.

350
00:15:51,800 --> 00:15:53,800
Speaker 5: I just know that they're doing something wrong. That's what

351
00:15:53,880 --> 00:15:55,840
Speaker 5: I'm saying. You'd have to give me the things that

352
00:15:55,920 --> 00:15:57,840
Speaker 5: well that they're possibly doing. But let's actually move forward.

353
00:15:57,920 --> 00:16:00,800
Speaker 5: Let's let's put a it's a great combo. Put it

354
00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:01,960
Speaker 5: if you want to go.

355
00:16:02,360 --> 00:16:04,920
Speaker 1: What we'll do is we'll have fantasy pros after dark.

356
00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:06,960
Speaker 3: We really get to let everybody just fight this out

357
00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:08,360
Speaker 3: and use all the language they want.

358
00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:11,160
Speaker 5: A few red bulls, you pop a few whiskeys, and

359
00:16:11,160 --> 00:16:11,480
Speaker 5: it's all.

360
00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:14,400
Speaker 3: And look, right now, everyone's a loser, as Paul is

361
00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:16,800
Speaker 3: talking about, that's the business lockout.

362
00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:18,960
Speaker 1: We all know everyone's a loser. But but let's talk

363
00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:21,880
Speaker 1: about maybe some lockout winners. Let's transition. See what I

364
00:16:21,920 --> 00:16:23,920
Speaker 1: did there, look at a lot of beautiful transition.

365
00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:26,440
Speaker 5: I just but a real doesn't even address their segue.

366
00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:28,000
Speaker 5: They just Rhyde right on. No.

367
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:31,720
Speaker 3: No, I want everybody constantly aware I am just incredibly needy,

368
00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:34,320
Speaker 3: and I need everyone to prove at all times love me,

369
00:16:34,520 --> 00:16:38,200
Speaker 3: love me, like me, showering me with keyses, just like

370
00:16:38,440 --> 00:16:40,520
Speaker 3: that old character on Seinfeld. I love that guy, the

371
00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:44,520
Speaker 3: John Polito, John Polito who played the who's like the

372
00:16:44,560 --> 00:16:47,920
Speaker 3: super of the building. I love that guy. Anyway, Uh say,

373
00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:49,840
Speaker 3: you got your Seinfeld reference in as well. So let's

374
00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:52,480
Speaker 3: talk about lockout winners. So obviously, because the season is

375
00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:54,400
Speaker 3: getting pushed back, we're still gonna have a month, you know,

376
00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:56,480
Speaker 3: whenever they do come up with an agreement, we're gonna

377
00:16:56,480 --> 00:16:58,760
Speaker 3: have a month before we get to the actual baseball

378
00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:00,920
Speaker 3: being played anyway, which I think is actually smart because

379
00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:03,080
Speaker 3: I want everybody be healthy and get to the season

380
00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:03,800
Speaker 3: in one piece.

381
00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:06,840
Speaker 1: So Welsh, who is a winner because of the lock

382
00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:09,800
Speaker 1: at right now? From a fantasy standpoint.

383
00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:12,160
Speaker 6: I think probably the number one that we've all gone to.

384
00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:15,040
Speaker 6: And it's a first round pick, and it's a guy

385
00:17:15,080 --> 00:17:18,439
Speaker 6: that maybe at one point was even floating outside of

386
00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:20,840
Speaker 6: the first round in the early stages due to injury,

387
00:17:21,160 --> 00:17:23,359
Speaker 6: and as time has gone on, he's ticked up, ticked up,

388
00:17:23,359 --> 00:17:25,240
Speaker 6: ticked up. And then when we started to realize, hey

389
00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:28,480
Speaker 6: we might actually miss some games, we can go and

390
00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:31,159
Speaker 6: just completely maybe wash our brains of the injury that

391
00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:34,720
Speaker 6: Ronald d'cunie is coming back from. Because you know, I

392
00:17:34,760 --> 00:17:36,879
Speaker 6: think all the fun videos that are out there of

393
00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:40,160
Speaker 6: him swinging and looking healthy, that's great, but we've all

394
00:17:40,280 --> 00:17:42,960
Speaker 6: gone down that road before in fantasy where you'll play

395
00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:44,840
Speaker 6: fantasy basketball. It's like, hey, KWHI Leonard. You know he'll

396
00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:46,399
Speaker 6: be out there, he's good, take a number one overall,

397
00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:48,359
Speaker 6: and then he's out for two months or whatever. So

398
00:17:48,680 --> 00:17:51,040
Speaker 6: I think that's floated around with us. It's really fun

399
00:17:51,040 --> 00:17:53,200
Speaker 6: to see him out doing BP, but he's coming back

400
00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:55,680
Speaker 6: from a serious injury that probably was going to take

401
00:17:55,800 --> 00:17:56,320
Speaker 6: at least.

402
00:17:56,240 --> 00:17:58,680
Speaker 4: A month, like legitimately a month away, but was still

403
00:17:58,680 --> 00:17:59,720
Speaker 4: getting him first round buzz.

404
00:17:59,800 --> 00:18:05,400
Speaker 6: Now that you have the ideal spot where you're gonna

405
00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:08,160
Speaker 6: have a week gone, maybe another week and then they'll

406
00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:12,200
Speaker 6: just back end it. Ronald d'acunya missing maybe a week.

407
00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:14,719
Speaker 6: Maybe I'm missing nothing at all, but maybe missing a

408
00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:18,199
Speaker 6: handful of weeks at most has moved him from what

409
00:18:18,280 --> 00:18:20,399
Speaker 6: I think has been more of a back end of

410
00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:22,439
Speaker 6: the first round. Even though in some like you know,

411
00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:24,840
Speaker 6: like Rod or n FBCS, I've seen him go like

412
00:18:24,880 --> 00:18:25,399
Speaker 6: at ten and.

413
00:18:26,200 --> 00:18:27,200
Speaker 4: Even a little bit higher.

414
00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:30,240
Speaker 6: He's now firmly in that top six or top five

415
00:18:30,320 --> 00:18:32,280
Speaker 6: with those miss games, and I think he is just

416
00:18:32,359 --> 00:18:35,840
Speaker 6: the clear beneficiary of any player we could pick on

417
00:18:35,880 --> 00:18:38,679
Speaker 6: this entire list. And I know, Paul, you're gonna at

418
00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:39,920
Speaker 6: least agree with me on that one.

419
00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:42,520
Speaker 5: Yeah, well, that is the number one for sure.

420
00:18:42,600 --> 00:18:43,600
Speaker 1: Let me follow that up.

421
00:18:43,720 --> 00:18:46,080
Speaker 3: Let's say the season starts May first. Let's just throw

422
00:18:46,080 --> 00:18:48,520
Speaker 3: out a date there. Would you take Ronald A. Kunya

423
00:18:48,520 --> 00:18:49,359
Speaker 3: as a top three player?

424
00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:50,440
Speaker 1: Welsh?

425
00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:51,959
Speaker 4: Uh, Yeah, yeah, I would say.

426
00:18:51,960 --> 00:18:53,040
Speaker 6: I was about to say, if you were gonna say

427
00:18:53,080 --> 00:18:55,680
Speaker 6: number one over odd say no, but top three, I'm

428
00:18:55,800 --> 00:18:58,600
Speaker 6: very comfortable with it. It's kind of a mush of

429
00:18:58,680 --> 00:19:01,640
Speaker 6: players in that very good much by the way, where

430
00:19:01,640 --> 00:19:04,840
Speaker 6: you got like Turner and Tatis and Jose Ramiro. I

431
00:19:04,880 --> 00:19:07,119
Speaker 6: had the third pick in TGFBI, and I gave a

432
00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:09,840
Speaker 6: real hard thought to Jose Ramirez and I moved off

433
00:19:09,840 --> 00:19:11,639
Speaker 6: of it and I went to Soto. But I know

434
00:19:11,680 --> 00:19:14,280
Speaker 6: there's the vlad guys out there, and Acunya goes right

435
00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:17,359
Speaker 6: in that and Acunya probably if if you want to

436
00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:21,240
Speaker 6: delete any of your like injury concerns, yeah, it's a

437
00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:22,080
Speaker 6: no brainer.

438
00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:22,640
Speaker 4: Top three.

439
00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:24,639
Speaker 6: If you're a little bit tenuous and you're like, oh,

440
00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:26,640
Speaker 6: you know, first pick, am I going to really pass

441
00:19:26,680 --> 00:19:27,680
Speaker 6: on Jan Soto for that?

442
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:30,840
Speaker 4: I would say move to top five? But yeah, I

443
00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:31,640
Speaker 4: think three is on the tip.

444
00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:35,280
Speaker 6: If I was doing TGFBI right now and I like

445
00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:37,680
Speaker 6: right right now, I think I would have taken Acunya

446
00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:39,960
Speaker 6: three overall and instead of Sodo, I think I would

447
00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:41,600
Speaker 6: have done that. Just take my shot, because that's a

448
00:19:41,680 --> 00:19:43,919
Speaker 6: league where you know, you just you kind of have

449
00:19:44,040 --> 00:19:45,040
Speaker 6: to go all or nothing.

450
00:19:45,119 --> 00:19:45,280
Speaker 1: You know.

451
00:19:45,320 --> 00:19:47,240
Speaker 6: It's a little ricky Bobby, if you're not first your

452
00:19:47,320 --> 00:19:49,920
Speaker 6: last type of thing. It probably would have went with Acunya.

453
00:19:50,280 --> 00:19:51,399
Speaker 6: If I were doing it today.

454
00:19:52,040 --> 00:19:54,119
Speaker 1: All right, spor, who's a winner for you? Give me

455
00:19:54,119 --> 00:19:55,560
Speaker 1: one of your winners from the lockout?

456
00:19:55,800 --> 00:19:57,640
Speaker 5: Well, this is on Welsh's list too, but he can't

457
00:19:57,680 --> 00:19:58,840
Speaker 5: have all the good he so I had to go

458
00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:01,879
Speaker 5: justin Berlander as well. It's pretty obvious. Why you know

459
00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:04,600
Speaker 5: he's coming back from TJ. He's already on the better

460
00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:06,600
Speaker 5: cycle than a lot of guys, right, A lot of

461
00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:09,320
Speaker 5: guys come back in that fourteen to fifteen month window

462
00:20:10,440 --> 00:20:13,040
Speaker 5: and then kind of need their amp up and have

463
00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:14,760
Speaker 5: ups and downs, kind of the way we saw Chris

464
00:20:14,760 --> 00:20:17,760
Speaker 5: Sale last year when he returned. Well, JV already had

465
00:20:17,800 --> 00:20:20,760
Speaker 5: his back in October or no, what would that have been?

466
00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:24,960
Speaker 5: Was it March of twenty?

467
00:20:27,040 --> 00:20:29,200
Speaker 1: I believe you're right. I have to go double check.

468
00:20:29,240 --> 00:20:32,359
Speaker 1: Well he double check on that. Well, Paul expands upon Verlander.

469
00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:35,520
Speaker 3: But either way, because he didn't have it right away

470
00:20:35,560 --> 00:20:37,080
Speaker 3: after it happened, there was a little bit of a.

471
00:20:37,119 --> 00:20:40,840
Speaker 6: Week older collateral on September.

472
00:20:40,320 --> 00:20:44,120
Speaker 5: Thirtieth, so it was September thirty five, twenty, so it's

473
00:20:44,119 --> 00:20:46,600
Speaker 5: gonna say October of twenty. I should have stuck with that. Anyway,

474
00:20:46,760 --> 00:20:49,800
Speaker 5: it's been well over a year at this point. And yeah,

475
00:20:49,800 --> 00:20:52,080
Speaker 5: because he did have that sixth inning start in twenty twenty,

476
00:20:52,119 --> 00:20:54,360
Speaker 5: he waited, he tried to figure it out, then had

477
00:20:54,359 --> 00:20:56,600
Speaker 5: to go and get the TJ. He's the way back.

478
00:20:56,640 --> 00:20:59,879
Speaker 5: He's in Unicorn. To me, wherein you can't necessarily apply

479
00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:03,560
Speaker 5: normal things. So I'm not saying he's necessarily unquestionably going

480
00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:05,439
Speaker 5: to come back. But I'm betting on Justin Berlander as

481
00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:07,760
Speaker 5: though he's going to come back and be an absolute monster.

482
00:21:08,040 --> 00:21:11,560
Speaker 5: Normally I don't come back with TJ return guys. But

483
00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:14,199
Speaker 5: the reason I'm more interested in JV is because of

484
00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:17,160
Speaker 5: the extra time he's had to kind of figure things out.

485
00:21:17,359 --> 00:21:20,600
Speaker 5: I also put some credence in Houston, giving him twenty

486
00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:23,199
Speaker 5: five mil with a twenty five million player option for

487
00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:26,360
Speaker 5: next right. So they're committing fifty mil. Doesn't mean they're right.

488
00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:29,440
Speaker 5: Teams have invested in guys who end up getting hurt before.

489
00:21:29,480 --> 00:21:32,240
Speaker 5: That's not unheard of. But there has to be a

490
00:21:32,280 --> 00:21:35,440
Speaker 5: measure of confidence there for them to do that with Verlander,

491
00:21:35,680 --> 00:21:37,600
Speaker 5: and so that's why I'm pretty confident in him. I've

492
00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:40,080
Speaker 5: been drafting him as though he's ready to go. I

493
00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:42,600
Speaker 5: guarantee you the second steps on the spring training mount

494
00:21:42,600 --> 00:21:45,919
Speaker 5: and starts throwing upper nineties bbies, He's skyrocketing up everybody

495
00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:48,920
Speaker 5: else's board. I've just cut out that middleman, and I'm

496
00:21:48,960 --> 00:21:52,560
Speaker 5: already drafting him there. I understand the kids, yeah, but

497
00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:54,000
Speaker 5: I've pushed him way up.

498
00:21:54,680 --> 00:21:57,479
Speaker 3: The consensus right now in Verlander on Fantasy pros dot Com,

499
00:21:57,560 --> 00:22:00,000
Speaker 3: or you look at all the consensus ADPs from all

500
00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:02,760
Speaker 3: different sites right now, he's the thirty fourth pitcher going

501
00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:06,160
Speaker 3: off the board. He's going behind Blake Snell and Carlos Verdon. Now, personally,

502
00:22:06,160 --> 00:22:09,359
Speaker 3: I would take Verlander already over those two guys, but

503
00:22:09,440 --> 00:22:12,360
Speaker 3: they build Trevor Rodgers, Dylan Cees overall. He's at one

504
00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:12,960
Speaker 3: oh six.

505
00:22:13,040 --> 00:22:17,160
Speaker 1: But Paul, would you take moving Wow Verlander over Rogers

506
00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:19,160
Speaker 1: of the Marlins, Trevor Rodgers.

507
00:22:19,440 --> 00:22:23,439
Speaker 5: Trevor Rodgers I think is directly behind him. I have

508
00:22:23,520 --> 00:22:25,240
Speaker 5: them twenty and twenty one respectively.

509
00:22:25,880 --> 00:22:26,439
Speaker 4: That's funny.

510
00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:29,840
Speaker 6: I have Rogers two spots behind Verlander, and sp as

511
00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:31,360
Speaker 6: well I have over him.

512
00:22:31,359 --> 00:22:31,520
Speaker 7: I have.

513
00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:34,159
Speaker 6: I have Verlander inside my top one hundred, and I

514
00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:36,760
Speaker 6: think I've had it for quite a while. I didn't

515
00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:39,040
Speaker 6: move him crazy crazy because kind of like what Paul

516
00:22:39,080 --> 00:22:41,199
Speaker 6: was saying, because I completely agree. You know, behind the

517
00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:42,919
Speaker 6: table here that was my number two, that was my

518
00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:47,600
Speaker 6: number two on beneficiaries because of this and I that's.

519
00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:49,679
Speaker 3: Behind the table like like in the Secretary and the

520
00:22:49,720 --> 00:22:52,080
Speaker 3: perch thread is that sare is what he meant, but

521
00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:53,240
Speaker 3: I like behind him a lot of stuff.

522
00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:55,280
Speaker 1: The after show for this show is gonna be amazing.

523
00:22:55,320 --> 00:22:57,160
Speaker 4: I just want to say, yeah, please set on this couch.

524
00:22:57,200 --> 00:23:01,080
Speaker 4: I'm gonna take you and the Erlanders side.

525
00:23:01,119 --> 00:23:04,679
Speaker 6: I've always been there with Paul kind of since the beginning,

526
00:23:04,680 --> 00:23:05,959
Speaker 6: so I've kind of priced that in.

527
00:23:06,200 --> 00:23:08,680
Speaker 4: I've priced that bad boy in this entire time.

528
00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:10,439
Speaker 5: And we haven't had the draft him there. So if

529
00:23:10,440 --> 00:23:12,240
Speaker 5: you were doing drafts in the Winteract, we weren't. We

530
00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:15,719
Speaker 5: weren't picking him twentieth, but that's how we felt about him.

531
00:23:15,960 --> 00:23:18,880
Speaker 6: My rank is staying kind of representative of that. And yeah,

532
00:23:18,880 --> 00:23:20,320
Speaker 6: I've got him inside the top one hundred. And I

533
00:23:20,359 --> 00:23:22,159
Speaker 6: think you said Blake Snell as well. I actually got

534
00:23:22,240 --> 00:23:24,199
Speaker 6: him one spot ahead of Blake. I just moved him

535
00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:27,560
Speaker 6: ahead of Snell, you know, due to I think he's

536
00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:29,080
Speaker 6: gonna get a majority of the time. And like Paul said,

537
00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:31,880
Speaker 6: the minute he gets out there and throws skyrocketing value.

538
00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:33,639
Speaker 6: It's the same thing I've talked about with like Bobby Witt.

539
00:23:33,760 --> 00:23:35,880
Speaker 6: You know, Bobby WIT's fun. I think he's not fun

540
00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:38,639
Speaker 6: right now because we're not seeing anything. And but the

541
00:23:38,680 --> 00:23:40,800
Speaker 6: minute he gets out there and crushes the spring training

542
00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:43,360
Speaker 6: home run. Bobby Witt is going to move back up

543
00:23:43,359 --> 00:23:45,920
Speaker 6: into that like top eighty seventy five, and everyone will

544
00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:47,919
Speaker 6: talk themselves back into it instead of him going like

545
00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:48,760

578
00:25:28,040 --> 00:25:29,800
Speaker 3: put Verlander on your list as well, So give me

579
00:25:29,840 --> 00:25:32,640
Speaker 3: the third guy who's a winner Welsh for you on

580
00:25:32,720 --> 00:25:34,080
Speaker 3: your lockout winners.

581
00:25:34,600 --> 00:25:37,280
Speaker 6: Yeah, the third one I've got is Shane McClanahan with

582
00:25:37,440 --> 00:25:39,879
Speaker 6: Tampa Bay. So on a couple friends, I went with McClanahan.

583
00:25:40,280 --> 00:25:41,240
Speaker 4: This is one of these.

584
00:25:41,080 --> 00:25:44,120
Speaker 6: Guys that you know the Rays typically and you could

585
00:25:44,160 --> 00:25:46,639
Speaker 6: probably put this to any young pitcher. I think you

586
00:25:46,680 --> 00:25:49,640
Speaker 6: could put Alec Manoa in there. You could put any

587
00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:53,119
Speaker 6: of these guys, guys that could have their innings limited

588
00:25:53,840 --> 00:25:57,000
Speaker 6: or a team managing their innings throughout the season where

589
00:25:57,000 --> 00:25:58,960
Speaker 6: they might push the guy. You know, maybe they skip

590
00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:01,280
Speaker 6: the start. Every team does it different. Some shut down,

591
00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:03,239
Speaker 6: most they're trying to move away from that. Most are

592
00:26:03,240 --> 00:26:04,719
Speaker 6: trying to like skip starts so you can get them

593
00:26:04,720 --> 00:26:05,320
Speaker 6: throughout the year.

594
00:26:05,800 --> 00:26:08,840
Speaker 4: Those type of pictures are gonna benefit, And McClanahan is

595
00:26:08,840 --> 00:26:11,639
Speaker 4: one I picked because I feel like he's a step

596
00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:15,120
Speaker 4: above maybe the Manoah's and the.

597
00:26:15,200 --> 00:26:17,640
Speaker 6: Bases and stuff like that, maybe as far as innings go,

598
00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:20,359
Speaker 6: but now I think it can move from a management

599
00:26:20,359 --> 00:26:22,720
Speaker 6: where I'm just hypothetically thrown out here. Maybe they didn't

600
00:26:22,720 --> 00:26:24,880
Speaker 6: want him to go over one seventy five for this year.

601
00:26:25,119 --> 00:26:27,040
Speaker 6: Well now that is probably going to be a full

602
00:26:27,080 --> 00:26:28,800
Speaker 6: workload of any of these guys. So I feel like

603
00:26:28,840 --> 00:26:32,080
Speaker 6: Shane McClanahan bumps up just a couple more notches because

604
00:26:32,080 --> 00:26:33,800
Speaker 6: I don't think there's any management that has to be

605
00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:34,280
Speaker 6: done with him.

606
00:26:34,280 --> 00:26:35,720
Speaker 4: But like I said, you could.

607
00:26:35,560 --> 00:26:39,440
Speaker 6: Just take you know, super young, two year range pictures

608
00:26:39,520 --> 00:26:42,160
Speaker 6: that could be facing any type of a workload management

609
00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:43,640
Speaker 6: and I would put those guys in there.

610
00:26:43,640 --> 00:26:45,280
Speaker 4: But I just picked my planahanf.

611
00:26:45,480 --> 00:26:47,920
Speaker 3: It's funny because you look at the NFBC ADP on

612
00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:51,000
Speaker 3: Fantasy Pros too, mcclanahan's going at a one to twelve overall,

613
00:26:51,359 --> 00:26:54,639
Speaker 3: Verlinder at one oh six. So if they're both on

614
00:26:54,640 --> 00:26:56,320
Speaker 3: the board, who would rather take in a draft?

615
00:26:56,720 --> 00:26:59,080
Speaker 4: Actually, haven't Klanan higher? I got him just a couple.

616
00:26:59,160 --> 00:27:00,639
Speaker 4: I got a couple notch higher.

617
00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:03,080
Speaker 6: Actually, you know what, as far as an sp goes,

618
00:27:03,520 --> 00:27:06,040
Speaker 6: he is two sp spots higher.

619
00:27:06,280 --> 00:27:08,760
Speaker 4: But they're within the same ten overall picks.

620
00:27:08,760 --> 00:27:11,399
Speaker 6: If you're looking at that, you know, okay, so and

621
00:27:11,440 --> 00:27:13,119
Speaker 6: you know who's in between them, Alec Manoa.

622
00:27:13,160 --> 00:27:14,520
Speaker 4: I got Alec Manoan between there.

623
00:27:15,840 --> 00:27:20,040
Speaker 6: I think it's something you might see me actually, more

624
00:27:20,119 --> 00:27:25,080
Speaker 6: application go Verlander with my team construction also spring training,

625
00:27:25,160 --> 00:27:26,960
Speaker 6: as we get more clarity on what's going on with

626
00:27:27,040 --> 00:27:29,560
Speaker 6: the season, you might see an adjustment. I could see

627
00:27:29,640 --> 00:27:32,159
Speaker 6: Verlander for myself pop in especially. Hey, you get him

628
00:27:32,200 --> 00:27:34,640
Speaker 6: out there, you see him healthy. Verlander's one of those

629
00:27:34,640 --> 00:27:36,640
Speaker 6: few guys you have in this where you can get

630
00:27:36,640 --> 00:27:39,160
Speaker 6: a guy in the one hundred overall range that could

631
00:27:39,160 --> 00:27:40,960
Speaker 6: be a top five overall pitcher. You can't take that

632
00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:43,080
Speaker 6: away from Verlander, regardless of his age. At this point,

633
00:27:43,280 --> 00:27:45,800
Speaker 6: Max is still doing it. So Verlander, I actually could

634
00:27:45,800 --> 00:27:49,520
Speaker 6: see myself popping up. But McClanahan and Minoa specifically, those

635
00:27:49,640 --> 00:27:52,760
Speaker 6: are two high, high strikeout guys on very good teams

636
00:27:52,800 --> 00:27:55,280
Speaker 6: as well that I think, you know, wins could benefit them.

637
00:27:55,320 --> 00:27:58,119
Speaker 6: So I got Minno, I got McLanahan just a notch ahead.

638
00:27:58,440 --> 00:28:01,080
Speaker 3: All right, So you've got Rondakun. You adjustin Verlander and

639
00:28:01,119 --> 00:28:04,240
Speaker 3: Shane McClanahan as your lockout winners. Paul, you also had

640
00:28:04,320 --> 00:28:08,080
Speaker 3: Verlander give me two other beneficiaries of the lockout in

641
00:28:08,119 --> 00:28:08,560
Speaker 3: your mind.

642
00:28:08,800 --> 00:28:11,480
Speaker 5: Well, I got Shane Boz the other Shane there in

643
00:28:12,040 --> 00:28:15,040
Speaker 5: Tampa Bay. And it's not that he's necessarily gonna get

644
00:28:15,040 --> 00:28:16,080
Speaker 5: a ton of innties. I think he's going to be

645
00:28:16,119 --> 00:28:18,679
Speaker 5: on the Shane McClanahan plan if they had a full season,

646
00:28:18,760 --> 00:28:22,360
Speaker 5: so kind of take what McClanahan did. However, if it's

647
00:28:22,359 --> 00:28:27,159
Speaker 5: a shortened season, he'll play a larger percentage of the

648
00:28:27,200 --> 00:28:29,000
Speaker 5: innings out there, So I think it does kind of

649
00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:31,440
Speaker 5: help some of those young guys who could be facing

650
00:28:31,480 --> 00:28:34,840
Speaker 5: some of the some of the innings shortening there to

651
00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:36,760
Speaker 5: where if they don't have to do it as much

652
00:28:36,800 --> 00:28:38,880
Speaker 5: and they can they can kind of manage it better,

653
00:28:39,200 --> 00:28:42,840
Speaker 5: then they can play a higher percentage of the season's innings.

654
00:28:42,880 --> 00:28:45,040
Speaker 5: And then the other one's just old dudes in general. Right,

655
00:28:45,120 --> 00:28:46,680
Speaker 5: So you can commit, you make the case for young

656
00:28:46,760 --> 00:28:49,080
Speaker 5: dudes getting it because they won't get be limited, but

657
00:28:49,120 --> 00:28:52,520
Speaker 5: then old dudes just because break down. You know, they

658
00:28:52,560 --> 00:28:54,960
Speaker 5: get hurt. And it's not that you can't get hurt.

659
00:28:55,120 --> 00:28:56,920
Speaker 5: I remember there was a little bit of like, it's

660
00:28:56,920 --> 00:28:59,120
Speaker 5: a two month season, I'll take every injured guy, Well,

661
00:28:59,240 --> 00:29:02,880
Speaker 5: they can still get I understand the concept there, but

662
00:29:02,960 --> 00:29:04,600
Speaker 5: you don't want to take it too far. And all

663
00:29:04,640 --> 00:29:09,680
Speaker 5: I mean is that in the shortened season, it doesn't

664
00:29:09,760 --> 00:29:12,280
Speaker 5: lower their chances to get hurt. But I'll be more

665
00:29:12,280 --> 00:29:14,200
Speaker 5: inclined to take a gamble on a guy like that

666
00:29:14,440 --> 00:29:16,720
Speaker 5: because if he only has to make it through four

667
00:29:16,760 --> 00:29:19,160
Speaker 5: months instead of six, I might have a better chance

668
00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:21,440
Speaker 5: at getting a full season from that guy. So that's

669
00:29:21,440 --> 00:29:24,120
Speaker 5: why I put old dudes as my third.

670
00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:25,960
Speaker 3: I don't know what the ADP is for old dudes.

671
00:29:25,960 --> 00:29:29,040
Speaker 3: But for Shane Boz, he is pitcher thirty nine overall.

672
00:29:29,600 --> 00:29:32,400
Speaker 3: Zach Gallon is pitcher thirty seven. Who would rather have

673
00:29:32,560 --> 00:29:33,400
Speaker 3: Gallon or Boz?

674
00:29:33,720 --> 00:29:35,520
Speaker 5: I've Gallon substantially higher.

675
00:29:35,960 --> 00:29:37,960
Speaker 3: See I do too, And I think it's kind of

676
00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:39,480
Speaker 3: odd that they're that close.

677
00:29:39,560 --> 00:29:41,440
Speaker 1: Well, did you think that ADP is a little off too?

678
00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:42,160
Speaker 5: Well?

679
00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:44,440
Speaker 1: To again, Gallon is a.

680
00:29:44,360 --> 00:29:46,640
Speaker 3: Thirty seventh pitcher going off the board at one twenty four,

681
00:29:46,720 --> 00:29:48,960
Speaker 3: and Shane Boz is going at one twenty eight. Overall

682
00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:52,280
Speaker 3: consensus ADP pitcher number thirty nine. So the only guy

683
00:29:52,400 --> 00:29:54,920
Speaker 3: between them and the pitcher is Kershaw, but he doesn't

684
00:29:54,920 --> 00:29:56,080
Speaker 3: have a landing spot yet.

685
00:29:56,120 --> 00:29:58,080
Speaker 4: So I'm looking because I'm looking at my own.

686
00:29:58,280 --> 00:30:01,520
Speaker 6: The ADP actually of bos is similar to where I

687
00:30:01,600 --> 00:30:05,640
Speaker 6: have it, But I've got Gallon higher. I've got Gallon. Yeah,

688
00:30:05,640 --> 00:30:08,600
Speaker 6: So I've got Gallon as my pitcher, I believe thirty

689
00:30:08,680 --> 00:30:09,760
Speaker 6: eight or thirty.

690
00:30:09,560 --> 00:30:11,840
Speaker 4: Seven, and Boss is a couple notches lower.

691
00:30:12,160 --> 00:30:14,560
Speaker 3: All right, Well, let's get to some of the losers then,

692
00:30:14,960 --> 00:30:17,480
Speaker 3: some people who the lockout could potentially hurt in terms

693
00:30:17,480 --> 00:30:18,280
Speaker 3: of their value.

694
00:30:18,840 --> 00:30:20,880
Speaker 1: Who do you see as being somebody that might fit

695
00:30:20,920 --> 00:30:21,320
Speaker 1: that bill?

696
00:30:21,920 --> 00:30:24,960
Speaker 6: So the injury thing is really interesting one because I

697
00:30:24,960 --> 00:30:26,720
Speaker 6: don't know if I've if I've come to terms with

698
00:30:26,800 --> 00:30:29,880
Speaker 6: like what side benefits what you know, the old dudes, So,

699
00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:32,160
Speaker 6: like like Paul was saying, the old dudes that there's

700
00:30:32,280 --> 00:30:34,479
Speaker 6: less games for them to get hurt could be a benefit,

701
00:30:34,560 --> 00:30:36,760
Speaker 6: especially specifically the older guys that have a little bit

702
00:30:36,800 --> 00:30:40,120
Speaker 6: of injury proneness and the old guys going to be.

703
00:30:40,040 --> 00:30:42,280
Speaker 3: A DH in the National League too. Let's not forget

704
00:30:42,360 --> 00:30:43,760
Speaker 3: about that. That's a huge difference.

705
00:30:43,920 --> 00:30:45,680
Speaker 6: But you can also look at it the other way,

706
00:30:45,760 --> 00:30:49,640
Speaker 6: where those same guys losing that percentage of the season

707
00:30:49,720 --> 00:30:52,440
Speaker 6: is a bigger deal. So the guy that jumped out

708
00:30:52,480 --> 00:30:54,400
Speaker 6: to me when I thought about this was not an

709
00:30:54,400 --> 00:30:56,720
Speaker 6: old dude. But I think you got to just inherently

710
00:30:56,760 --> 00:31:00,240
Speaker 6: look at the injury prone guys and one of the

711
00:31:00,240 --> 00:31:03,600
Speaker 6: most impactful injury prone guys that I actually I played

712
00:31:03,600 --> 00:31:04,920
Speaker 6: around with this on both sides of it, but I

713
00:31:04,960 --> 00:31:08,600
Speaker 6: picked out a Berto Mondese. Mondsey has just been a

714
00:31:08,640 --> 00:31:11,560
Speaker 6: disaster as far as games played the entire his time,

715
00:31:11,720 --> 00:31:12,480
Speaker 6: entire career, he.

716
00:31:12,520 --> 00:31:13,400
Speaker 4: Just has not got them in.

717
00:31:13,680 --> 00:31:16,000
Speaker 6: He's now in a spot which could work in his

718
00:31:16,040 --> 00:31:18,760
Speaker 6: benefit where the team is just like we we don't

719
00:31:18,800 --> 00:31:20,360
Speaker 6: see him playing more than one hundred games.

720
00:31:20,400 --> 00:31:22,920
Speaker 4: We can't even find that commitment, which is good.

721
00:31:23,280 --> 00:31:25,160
Speaker 6: I wonder, when you know push comes to shove, if

722
00:31:25,160 --> 00:31:28,000
Speaker 6: they're actually going to follow that. If Nicky Lopez continues

723
00:31:28,040 --> 00:31:30,640
Speaker 6: to go and wherever Bobby Witt is, you know, when

724
00:31:30,680 --> 00:31:32,920
Speaker 6: you get him out there, Mondesy could be a game changer.

725
00:31:32,920 --> 00:31:35,080
Speaker 6: And that's what's weird about this is Mondessey can win

726
00:31:35,120 --> 00:31:38,520
Speaker 6: you an entire month, but with how injury prone he is,

727
00:31:38,640 --> 00:31:41,320
Speaker 6: and there's not a rhyme reason when it happens. If

728
00:31:41,320 --> 00:31:43,800
Speaker 6: he goes down with the stolen bases that are needed,

729
00:31:44,400 --> 00:31:46,600
Speaker 6: that's bad. That's even worse than normal. You know, if

730
00:31:46,640 --> 00:31:47,880
Speaker 6: he can only get one hundred games in and one

731
00:31:47,960 --> 00:31:49,760
Speaker 6: hundred and sixty two, what if you end up getting

732
00:31:49,840 --> 00:31:52,320
Speaker 6: fifty in the one hundred game season. There's not time

733
00:31:52,360 --> 00:31:54,080
Speaker 6: for him to come back on the back end of

734
00:31:54,080 --> 00:31:56,440
Speaker 6: a year. And I don't know this for a hundred percent,

735
00:31:56,440 --> 00:31:57,720
Speaker 6: in fact, I have to go look, but I feel

736
00:31:57,720 --> 00:32:01,000
Speaker 6: like typically his injuries have happened early you're on in seasons.

737
00:32:01,200 --> 00:32:02,640
Speaker 6: So if that is going to be the case and

738
00:32:02,680 --> 00:32:05,080
Speaker 6: he's going to miss those games, it's brutal. Now he's

739
00:32:05,200 --> 00:32:07,400
Speaker 6: unique in that he could play thirty games and he

740
00:32:07,400 --> 00:32:09,760
Speaker 6: could probably still finish top five and stolen bases.

741
00:32:09,880 --> 00:32:12,760
Speaker 5: Yeah, like he did in twenty you know that last month,

742
00:32:12,800 --> 00:32:14,600
Speaker 5: like if he'd he played most of the full sea

743
00:32:14,680 --> 00:32:16,400
Speaker 5: most of that season is not a full seasons.

744
00:32:16,680 --> 00:32:18,320
Speaker 4: He was a number one overall player, and I think

745
00:32:18,360 --> 00:32:19,720
Speaker 4: it was August and that.

746
00:32:20,320 --> 00:32:23,360
Speaker 5: September because he was a disaster in August and that

747
00:32:23,480 --> 00:32:26,160
Speaker 5: was he was. It wasn't even injury. It was utterly

748
00:32:26,240 --> 00:32:28,520
Speaker 5: awful play from Mond to see, and then he had

749
00:32:28,520 --> 00:32:32,200
Speaker 5: that amazing sprint there pun intended because he's obviously a speedster,

750
00:32:32,600 --> 00:32:34,760
Speaker 5: you know, So I think it's a good call. You see,

751
00:32:34,840 --> 00:32:36,960
Speaker 5: I left my list, Plank. I struggled here with with

752
00:32:37,040 --> 00:32:41,360
Speaker 5: Lockow outside of where you went with some of your guys,

753
00:32:41,440 --> 00:32:43,280
Speaker 5: and I'm curious to see on your other two side

754
00:32:43,360 --> 00:32:45,200
Speaker 5: rather just kind of go off of those, because the

755
00:32:45,240 --> 00:32:48,000
Speaker 5: best I could think was the injury prone dudes like

756
00:32:48,080 --> 00:32:50,280
Speaker 5: Mond that you're talking about, because if they missed a

757
00:32:50,280 --> 00:32:52,440
Speaker 5: big chunk, then there's no time for them to catch.

758
00:32:52,440 --> 00:32:54,520
Speaker 5: So I could have put like Bucks in there or Monday.

759
00:32:54,720 --> 00:32:57,840
Speaker 5: These guys that have been chronically injured that you have

760
00:32:57,920 --> 00:32:59,920
Speaker 5: to be yeah, that you have to be nervous about

761
00:33:00,760 --> 00:33:03,440
Speaker 5: just in general, but even more so if the season

762
00:33:03,480 --> 00:33:07,080
Speaker 5: is shortened, because it cuts their potential time to get back.

763
00:33:07,280 --> 00:33:08,520
Speaker 5: So that's why I didn't have names. But so I'm

764
00:33:08,520 --> 00:33:10,800
Speaker 5: interested in your other two, especially in your reasoning behind them.

765
00:33:10,840 --> 00:33:13,240
Speaker 3: Well, before we move on to the next names, Mondesy

766
00:33:13,360 --> 00:33:16,080
Speaker 3: right now is going at sixty nine overall, Alex Bregman

767
00:33:16,120 --> 00:33:16,720
Speaker 3: at seventy.

768
00:33:17,520 --> 00:33:19,080
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know where you guys are.

769
00:33:19,240 --> 00:33:22,200
Speaker 3: I'm well onto the Alex Bregman side of things because

770
00:33:22,200 --> 00:33:24,720
Speaker 3: I feel like if you draft Mondesy for that one thing,

771
00:33:24,800 --> 00:33:26,560
Speaker 3: and I know that one thing is dwindling and it's

772
00:33:26,560 --> 00:33:27,960
Speaker 3: hard to find stolen bases in Roe.

773
00:33:27,960 --> 00:33:29,720
Speaker 1: Oh so you want to take that shot, I get it.

774
00:33:30,160 --> 00:33:32,400
Speaker 3: But I'm looking at Alex Bregman as a guy who's

775
00:33:32,440 --> 00:33:34,960
Speaker 3: had a superior career. I just can't wrap my mind

776
00:33:35,000 --> 00:33:36,640
Speaker 3: around those guys going back to back and you.

777
00:33:36,640 --> 00:33:40,760
Speaker 5: Paul No, and I'm much high. I'm very big on

778
00:33:40,800 --> 00:33:44,400
Speaker 5: the Bregman breakout, Org Bregman rebound. If he's house, it's

779
00:33:44,440 --> 00:33:44,960
Speaker 5: coming yep.

780
00:33:45,480 --> 00:33:47,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, all right, So Welsh, who else did you think

781
00:33:47,520 --> 00:33:49,000
Speaker 3: really kind of fits this bill of people who were

782
00:33:49,040 --> 00:33:51,600
Speaker 3: the lockout might hurt them, so you know, Mondsey's one

783
00:33:51,640 --> 00:33:51,840
Speaker 3: of them.

784
00:33:51,880 --> 00:33:52,280
Speaker 1: Who else?

785
00:33:52,640 --> 00:33:54,680
Speaker 6: Yeah, So I mean I was really picking a party.

786
00:33:54,800 --> 00:33:57,080
Speaker 6: So the second one people are not gonna like, and

787
00:33:57,520 --> 00:33:59,560
Speaker 6: it really it's probably gonna be a big tweety one

788
00:33:59,600 --> 00:34:01,320
Speaker 6: for me because he's gonna come up a little bit

789
00:34:01,440 --> 00:34:03,720
Speaker 6: later too. But I've also been kind of vocal about it.

790
00:34:03,760 --> 00:34:07,880
Speaker 6: I picked Onell Cruz now On'ell Cruz Top one of

791
00:34:07,880 --> 00:34:10,359
Speaker 6: the top prospects with the Pittsburgh Pirates. He came up

792
00:34:10,400 --> 00:34:12,960
Speaker 6: for a cup of coffee, he had a couple of bombs.

793
00:34:12,560 --> 00:34:13,560
Speaker 4: Looked really good there.

794
00:34:13,840 --> 00:34:17,239
Speaker 6: Projection systems are wild with him, and I think we've talked.

795
00:34:17,239 --> 00:34:19,680
Speaker 6: I've talked about this in a couple different places, James

796
00:34:19,680 --> 00:34:22,319
Speaker 6: Anderson and I actually specifically talked about it on one

797
00:34:22,320 --> 00:34:25,000
Speaker 6: of my show's prospect one where ONEO Cruz is really

798
00:34:25,040 --> 00:34:28,200
Speaker 6: interesting in you know, projection models. Most of them are

799
00:34:28,280 --> 00:34:31,480
Speaker 6: just you know, atrocious in dealing with minor leagues. You know,

800
00:34:31,520 --> 00:34:33,239
Speaker 6: they can only give you so much and what they

801
00:34:33,239 --> 00:34:34,920
Speaker 6: can project off of minor leagues. But then you've got

802
00:34:34,920 --> 00:34:36,839
Speaker 6: ONEO Cruz who is like this little bit a cup

803
00:34:36,840 --> 00:34:38,960
Speaker 6: of coffee that they can work off of, and it

804
00:34:39,080 --> 00:34:42,560
Speaker 6: seems like off of that very short stint, projections really

805
00:34:42,640 --> 00:34:45,000
Speaker 6: jumped at him, essentially giving him a twenty twenty season.

806
00:34:45,080 --> 00:34:46,799
Speaker 4: But here's my thing with him.

807
00:34:47,520 --> 00:34:50,960
Speaker 6: The Pirates are not competing, of course, but if you

808
00:34:51,000 --> 00:34:54,360
Speaker 6: do have more expanded playoffs early on in years, everybody

809
00:34:54,440 --> 00:34:56,759
Speaker 6: is kind of on a flat surface here, you know

810
00:34:56,760 --> 00:34:59,640
Speaker 6: they're going to be competing in some capacity. I don't

811
00:34:59,680 --> 00:35:03,319
Speaker 6: know if the Pirates really want to press. I think

812
00:35:03,360 --> 00:35:06,120
Speaker 6: everybody's assuming oneil Cruz just has the job given. I'm

813
00:35:06,120 --> 00:35:09,360
Speaker 6: not necessarily sure that's the case. Also, if early struggles

814
00:35:09,480 --> 00:35:12,759
Speaker 6: Onio Cruz has this, he has this ability if you ever.

815
00:35:12,680 --> 00:35:14,120
Speaker 4: Watch him, I don't know how many people are actually

816
00:35:14,120 --> 00:35:16,440
Speaker 4: watch him. He looks lackadaisical.

817
00:35:16,480 --> 00:35:19,359
Speaker 6: He doesn't look like he's having fun when he's out there,

818
00:35:19,360 --> 00:35:21,719
Speaker 6: and that it rubs people like a weird way, and I.

819
00:35:21,680 --> 00:35:23,000
Speaker 4: Don't know how that's all gone.

820
00:35:23,360 --> 00:35:25,680
Speaker 6: He can kind of get off into weird, streaky modes

821
00:35:25,680 --> 00:35:28,480
Speaker 6: as well. He's big, six foot seven shortstop that they're

822
00:35:28,520 --> 00:35:30,640
Speaker 6: working him in it right now. And my only take

823
00:35:30,800 --> 00:35:34,160
Speaker 6: is of a short season not having a whole lot

824
00:35:34,200 --> 00:35:37,200
Speaker 6: of runway because he can't practice, he can't do anything

825
00:35:37,600 --> 00:35:38,640
Speaker 6: getting him out there.

826
00:35:38,880 --> 00:35:39,800
Speaker 4: What if he struggles.

827
00:35:39,920 --> 00:35:41,440
Speaker 6: You know, how long are they going to just let

828
00:35:41,520 --> 00:35:43,560
Speaker 6: that sit around? You know, the development of these young

829
00:35:43,560 --> 00:35:45,560
Speaker 6: guys is very important, especially for the pirates. Are they

830
00:35:45,600 --> 00:35:47,279
Speaker 6: going to let him struggle at the major league level?

831
00:35:47,320 --> 00:35:49,239
Speaker 6: I don't think he's at that place yet. They might

832
00:35:49,280 --> 00:35:52,400
Speaker 6: also consider positional stuff he could work out.

833
00:35:52,520 --> 00:35:54,080
Speaker 4: He could be the savior of.

834
00:35:54,080 --> 00:35:56,319
Speaker 6: All fantasy teams when it's all said and done. But

835
00:35:56,360 --> 00:35:58,120
Speaker 6: I look at a rookie with a very short sample

836
00:35:58,160 --> 00:36:01,120
Speaker 6: size with very big hopes for fantasy owners because of

837
00:36:01,160 --> 00:36:03,839
Speaker 6: projections off of a short stint that I don't know

838
00:36:03,880 --> 00:36:06,560
Speaker 6: if he makes the opening day roster, I don't know

839
00:36:06,600 --> 00:36:09,359
Speaker 6: if he can continue up if he struggles, And I

840
00:36:09,400 --> 00:36:13,120
Speaker 6: think a lockout that takes him away from training with

841
00:36:13,200 --> 00:36:14,520
Speaker 6: the team and coaches seeing.

842
00:36:14,360 --> 00:36:16,520
Speaker 4: Him is not great for a young guy like this.

843
00:36:16,600 --> 00:36:17,840
Speaker 4: So that was my take on it.

844
00:36:17,880 --> 00:36:19,839
Speaker 6: I think it's it's one most people won't like because

845
00:36:19,840 --> 00:36:21,240
Speaker 6: everyone wants him to succeed.

846
00:36:21,280 --> 00:36:22,560
Speaker 4: Because he's so late in draft.

847
00:36:22,640 --> 00:36:24,960
Speaker 6: You can get in the projections, but I think this

848
00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:27,520
Speaker 6: is one of those guys that could be negatively affected.

849
00:36:27,680 --> 00:36:27,879
Speaker 5: Paul.

850
00:36:28,000 --> 00:36:29,800
Speaker 6: I mean, well, I know you have the same feeling

851
00:36:29,760 --> 00:36:31,840
Speaker 6: about Cruse. Yeah, because I just said eno on and

852
00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:34,480
Speaker 6: I know Eno loves him. We did it on itl

853
00:36:34,520 --> 00:36:36,680
Speaker 6: but are you in the same space with me.

854
00:36:37,239 --> 00:36:39,120
Speaker 5: I'm kind of in between the two of you where

855
00:36:39,160 --> 00:36:41,520
Speaker 5: I feel like the height might be getting a little

856
00:36:41,560 --> 00:36:43,920
Speaker 5: bit too much. First off, we've got him penciled in

857
00:36:44,360 --> 00:36:46,480
Speaker 5: I'm off your resource as the opening day starter, and

858
00:36:46,480 --> 00:36:49,359
Speaker 5: I don't think that's anywhere close to a guarantee, and

859
00:36:49,400 --> 00:36:51,120
Speaker 5: so we're just kind of having him come up and

860
00:36:51,840 --> 00:36:54,200
Speaker 5: be ready. And I think that steamer number that came out,

861
00:36:54,200 --> 00:36:56,840
Speaker 5: you know they released their projections first two eighty one,

862
00:36:57,000 --> 00:36:59,799
Speaker 5: twenty one and fourteen really got the juices phone for

863
00:36:59,800 --> 00:37:02,120
Speaker 5: a Neil Cruz for folks, and I think it might

864
00:37:02,160 --> 00:37:05,560
Speaker 5: have set an unrealistic expectation. So which has me hewing

865
00:37:05,640 --> 00:37:08,560
Speaker 5: closer to you Welsh where it's like, hey, there's plenty

866
00:37:08,600 --> 00:37:11,840
Speaker 5: of risk here. He had a week at Triple A.

867
00:37:12,000 --> 00:37:15,000
Speaker 5: Now it was the sickest week ever. He hit fife

868
00:37:15,040 --> 00:37:18,120
Speaker 5: twenty four six fifty five, twelve eighty six tot maighty

869
00:37:18,120 --> 00:37:20,440
Speaker 5: six was not the ops. That was the slung because

870
00:37:20,440 --> 00:37:23,799
Speaker 5: he had five homers in o'neo Cruz twenty nine played appearances,

871
00:37:24,120 --> 00:37:26,399
Speaker 5: but that's six games at Triple A. I don't care

872
00:37:26,440 --> 00:37:29,719
Speaker 5: how good it was. It's only sixty two. Actually, no way.

873
00:37:29,719 --> 00:37:32,279
Speaker 5: He had twenty other games, excuse me, thirty five more

874
00:37:32,280 --> 00:37:34,600
Speaker 5: games at Double A back in twent nineteen, so he's

875
00:37:34,680 --> 00:37:36,759
Speaker 5: kind of figured out Double A. But I'm not so

876
00:37:36,800 --> 00:37:38,719
Speaker 5: sure that O'Neal Cruz doesn't need a little bit more

877
00:37:38,719 --> 00:37:41,839
Speaker 5: seasoning at Triple A. And I don't know that it'd

878
00:37:41,880 --> 00:37:43,920
Speaker 5: be out of pocket if the Pirates said, we'll give

879
00:37:44,000 --> 00:37:45,560
Speaker 5: him a couple of weeks there. And I'm more than

880
00:37:45,600 --> 00:37:48,360
Speaker 5: willing to call out when teams are doing blatant service

881
00:37:48,360 --> 00:37:53,040
Speaker 5: time manipulation. But I don't think that O'Neill Cruz is lockedloaded, unquestioned,

882
00:37:53,080 --> 00:37:55,160
Speaker 5: ready to go the way like a Chris Bryant was,

883
00:37:55,760 --> 00:37:57,800
Speaker 5: or the way even that I think like a Bobby

884
00:37:57,840 --> 00:38:00,600
Speaker 5: Wit is to. I think, I mean went at the

885
00:38:00,719 --> 00:38:03,200
Speaker 5: very least if we didn't have these stupid rules. Is

886
00:38:03,239 --> 00:38:05,800
Speaker 5: deserving of a chance. Right when you play that well,

887
00:38:05,960 --> 00:38:07,920
Speaker 5: even for sixty two games, which is what he had

888
00:38:07,920 --> 00:38:10,680
Speaker 5: at Triple A last year, you get a call. But

889
00:38:10,840 --> 00:38:13,880
Speaker 5: our game incentivize is not doing that, which is really silly.

890
00:38:14,520 --> 00:38:16,920
Speaker 6: Yeah, I agree, that's very stupid, and just let the

891
00:38:16,960 --> 00:38:19,880
Speaker 6: Pirates just as an organization as well, Like they have

892
00:38:20,000 --> 00:38:23,080
Speaker 6: so much banked into you know, this future class for

893
00:38:23,160 --> 00:38:26,600
Speaker 6: them to make any missteps or you know, to I

894
00:38:26,680 --> 00:38:30,320
Speaker 6: just I don't I see Onell Cruz as the starter,

895
00:38:30,520 --> 00:38:33,640
Speaker 6: the same way Camilla Duval is the closer in San Francisco.

896
00:38:33,800 --> 00:38:35,359
Speaker 4: It's just not a guarantee. It's just not one hundred

897
00:38:35,360 --> 00:38:36,160
Speaker 4: percent guarantee.

898
00:38:36,680 --> 00:38:39,320
Speaker 3: Well, look, I think we're confusing the ideas of starter

899
00:38:39,400 --> 00:38:40,719
Speaker 3: out of the gate and are they going to play

900
00:38:40,719 --> 00:38:42,160
Speaker 3: the most games of that position this year?

901
00:38:42,239 --> 00:38:42,479
Speaker 1: Right?

902
00:38:42,719 --> 00:38:44,319
Speaker 3: Probably at the end of the day, Cruise might play

903
00:38:44,320 --> 00:38:47,799
Speaker 3: the most games for Pittsburgh at that pransition, But how

904
00:38:47,840 --> 00:38:49,640
Speaker 3: many are going to miss it if the season shorter.

905
00:38:50,400 --> 00:38:52,680
Speaker 3: You're talking about percentages. That gets a little wonky there.

906
00:38:52,719 --> 00:38:54,040
Speaker 3: I know you've got one more. I want to throw

907
00:38:54,080 --> 00:38:56,160
Speaker 3: one at you guys too. I think the other potential

908
00:38:56,160 --> 00:38:58,719
Speaker 3: losers here are the remaining free agents, because they think

909
00:38:58,719 --> 00:39:02,600
Speaker 3: the remaining free agents are going to get you know,

910
00:39:02,640 --> 00:39:04,120
Speaker 3: there's some that are gonna sign in a flurry, and

911
00:39:04,160 --> 00:39:06,319
Speaker 3: then some that aren't, and they're gonna be late into

912
00:39:06,320 --> 00:39:08,239
Speaker 3: some of these camps, very late, a couple of weeks

913
00:39:08,239 --> 00:39:11,880
Speaker 3: into whatever the spring training becomes. So for me, I

914
00:39:11,920 --> 00:39:14,000
Speaker 3: want to throw those guys out there, especially those lower

915
00:39:14,000 --> 00:39:16,640
Speaker 3: to your free agents, almost like that mccutcheons and fans

916
00:39:16,640 --> 00:39:18,279
Speaker 3: of the world, Like those guys I think are gonna

917
00:39:18,280 --> 00:39:20,759
Speaker 3: have a tough time finding spots right away. And if

918
00:39:20,760 --> 00:39:23,200
Speaker 3: they're slow into spring training again, some of these veterans,

919
00:39:23,200 --> 00:39:25,120
Speaker 3: they need their at bats. They're used to a certain routine.

920
00:39:25,120 --> 00:39:27,759
Speaker 3: They're out of that routine. It's something to keep in

921
00:39:27,840 --> 00:39:30,360
Speaker 3: mind as you're doing Best Ball drafts or you're drafting early.

922
00:39:30,520 --> 00:39:32,600
Speaker 3: Just remember those guys who don't have homes right now.

923
00:39:32,840 --> 00:39:34,680
Speaker 3: I mean even to the pittress to a certain extent,

924
00:39:34,760 --> 00:39:36,799
Speaker 3: guys like Carlos Rodan, like I would you know if

925
00:39:36,840 --> 00:39:38,239
Speaker 3: he was in a spot, you knew where he was

926
00:39:38,239 --> 00:39:40,560
Speaker 3: gonna be, you knew what his throwing program was, Maybe

927
00:39:40,560 --> 00:39:42,279
Speaker 3: feel a little bit more confident. But right now I

928
00:39:42,280 --> 00:39:44,880
Speaker 3: think those are guys that are definitely losers from the lockout.

929
00:39:44,880 --> 00:39:46,840
Speaker 3: Well's give me one more before we start talking about

930
00:39:47,040 --> 00:39:48,560
Speaker 3: some more exciting things than this.

931
00:39:48,840 --> 00:39:50,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, the only other one. It's kind of in the

932
00:39:50,480 --> 00:39:51,160
Speaker 4: same respect.

933
00:39:51,280 --> 00:39:55,000
Speaker 6: I've been very pro like this season is and this

934
00:39:55,080 --> 00:39:56,680
Speaker 6: is months ago, by the way, it was, I was

935
00:39:56,719 --> 00:39:59,000
Speaker 6: very pro like this is the year that all those

936
00:39:59,080 --> 00:40:02,520
Speaker 6: rookies that disappoint you last year can rebound. I'm a

937
00:40:02,560 --> 00:40:04,600
Speaker 6: buyer back into those guys because I remember you had

938
00:40:04,600 --> 00:40:07,840
Speaker 6: these guys that popped up during the quarantine boom.

939
00:40:07,680 --> 00:40:10,880
Speaker 4: And keep Brian Hayes, and they rocked it. Dylan Carlson's

940
00:40:10,880 --> 00:40:11,439
Speaker 4: a little bit different.

941
00:40:11,480 --> 00:40:13,239
Speaker 6: He's been kind of like median line and then last

942
00:40:13,280 --> 00:40:17,279
Speaker 6: year disappointment Bowman and Hayes, specifically Kelnick the other one

943
00:40:17,280 --> 00:40:19,000
Speaker 6: you got to throw in there. These are guys that

944
00:40:19,040 --> 00:40:23,120
Speaker 6: had maybe the weirdest transition of time played. And also

945
00:40:23,160 --> 00:40:26,120
Speaker 6: this is a little bit of that like maturations process

946
00:40:26,120 --> 00:40:29,080
Speaker 6: of you know, teams learning how to readjust these guys

947
00:40:29,440 --> 00:40:30,359
Speaker 6: that these are.

948
00:40:30,280 --> 00:40:31,759
Speaker 4: Players I want to buy back in on because they're

949
00:40:31,800 --> 00:40:32,239
Speaker 4: so cheap.

950
00:40:32,280 --> 00:40:35,200
Speaker 6: They're all cheap based off of previous costs and really

951
00:40:35,239 --> 00:40:36,360
Speaker 6: where the production can go.

952
00:40:36,520 --> 00:40:38,960
Speaker 4: But now you take this away.

953
00:40:38,800 --> 00:40:43,840
Speaker 6: You take more serious time needed away, specifically from Alec

954
00:40:43,920 --> 00:40:46,080
Speaker 6: Bohm for me, and that one has me a little

955
00:40:46,120 --> 00:40:46,520
Speaker 6: bit worried.

956
00:40:46,560 --> 00:40:49,279
Speaker 4: I think bowm is I interviewed him a couple of.

957
00:40:49,280 --> 00:40:51,520
Speaker 6: Years ago, and I've openly talked to how he's like,

958
00:40:51,600 --> 00:40:53,719
Speaker 6: it's not a big analytical guy. He does something in

959
00:40:53,760 --> 00:40:55,960
Speaker 6: the offseason. He told me this, This was almost a

960
00:40:56,000 --> 00:40:59,360
Speaker 6: direct quote. He said, I don't do analytics in season.

961
00:40:59,440 --> 00:41:02,080
Speaker 6: I do thatt all off season. He wasn't interested. Now again,

962
00:41:02,120 --> 00:41:03,440
Speaker 6: this is a couple of years ago, but he's like,

963
00:41:03,480 --> 00:41:06,680
Speaker 6: I'm not interested in making those adjustments in season. Okay, well,

964
00:41:06,880 --> 00:41:08,680
Speaker 6: what analytics do you think a guy who's not into

965
00:41:08,719 --> 00:41:11,040
Speaker 6: analytics has been doing in the off season. Of course

966
00:41:11,040 --> 00:41:13,919
Speaker 6: this can change. You get under the wings of Price,

967
00:41:13,960 --> 00:41:15,600
Speaker 6: Harper and stuff like that, all of that can change.

968
00:41:15,600 --> 00:41:17,319
Speaker 6: But I look at that and I go, man, this

969
00:41:17,400 --> 00:41:19,919
Speaker 6: is a time for hit for to be under the microscope.

970
00:41:20,000 --> 00:41:20,920
Speaker 4: He's a contact.

971
00:41:20,960 --> 00:41:23,200
Speaker 6: He's a contact ish hitter with raw power who doesn't

972
00:41:23,200 --> 00:41:25,200
Speaker 6: try to hit for power. Get back to that.

973
00:41:25,680 --> 00:41:27,080
Speaker 4: Just hitting two eighty two.

974
00:41:27,040 --> 00:41:29,359
Speaker 6: Ninety you're gonna run into twenty five plus homers. I

975
00:41:29,400 --> 00:41:31,680
Speaker 6: really love the buy back on him, but I kind

976
00:41:31,719 --> 00:41:33,719
Speaker 6: of think this is a is a worrisome spot for

977
00:41:33,800 --> 00:41:36,040
Speaker 6: him to be away from all of this, really really

978
00:41:36,080 --> 00:41:39,200
Speaker 6: needed maturation time for him as a prospect going into

979
00:41:39,239 --> 00:41:41,160
Speaker 6: like year two, even though it's like the third season.

980
00:41:41,400 --> 00:41:43,160
Speaker 4: So I picked That's why I picked aloccol.

981
00:41:43,480 --> 00:41:47,480
Speaker 3: All right, let's move on to the next group of questions.

982
00:41:47,480 --> 00:41:49,320
Speaker 3: Here because this is some fun and I want to

983
00:41:49,360 --> 00:41:51,600
Speaker 3: have some fun here. We've talked about lockouts, We've talked

984
00:41:51,600 --> 00:41:54,239
Speaker 3: about losers. There were a couple winners also, but you.

985
00:41:54,239 --> 00:41:56,080
Speaker 6: Know, I go to talk about who wins the players

986
00:41:56,080 --> 00:41:57,480
Speaker 6: of the owners again you want to do.

987
00:41:57,480 --> 00:41:59,480
Speaker 4: Let's let me know of that. That was fine.

988
00:41:59,719 --> 00:42:02,239
Speaker 3: I mean, you're gonna rock of soccer robots with the

989
00:42:02,239 --> 00:42:03,600
Speaker 3: two of you guys. Honestly, I think it was a

990
00:42:03,640 --> 00:42:06,040
Speaker 3: great discussion. I really do, because I think that you

991
00:42:06,120 --> 00:42:07,239
Speaker 3: both brought up just.

992
00:42:07,400 --> 00:42:10,120
Speaker 6: Roast that put me in view that I mus want

993
00:42:10,120 --> 00:42:12,080
Speaker 6: to point out that was Paul's Muhammad Ali think he

994
00:42:12,239 --> 00:42:13,960
Speaker 6: put me in the corner and boxed me, and he

995
00:42:14,120 --> 00:42:15,279
Speaker 6: made me be like.

996
00:42:15,520 --> 00:42:20,239
Speaker 3: Cro and then he climbed glasses watching you squirm. And

997
00:42:20,239 --> 00:42:22,600
Speaker 3: now he's putting on chapstick as you're talking about the

998
00:42:22,640 --> 00:42:23,080
Speaker 3: next thing.

999
00:42:24,200 --> 00:42:24,719
Speaker 1: Even more on.

1000
00:42:24,760 --> 00:42:26,840
Speaker 5: By the way, before we get in this one, I

1001
00:42:27,280 --> 00:42:29,160
Speaker 5: feel like we should have changed the definition a little

1002
00:42:29,160 --> 00:42:31,759
Speaker 5: bit on this right one. It should have been a

1003
00:42:32,960 --> 00:42:35,920
Speaker 5: established veteran who had fallen off it went. But you

1004
00:42:35,920 --> 00:42:37,560
Speaker 5: just want to break out picture. That's fine, that's fine.

1005
00:42:37,880 --> 00:42:40,319
Speaker 3: Uh, you can do both. You could be an overt cheek.

1006
00:42:40,560 --> 00:42:42,680
Speaker 3: No one said you have to you so low, that's right.

1007
00:42:42,880 --> 00:42:45,320
Speaker 3: I mean you didn't bring any losers to the table.

1008
00:42:45,360 --> 00:42:48,480
Speaker 4: You might blame in the man again, Paul out here

1009
00:42:48,480 --> 00:42:50,919
Speaker 4: blaming the man again? Okay, yeah, what else?

1010
00:42:51,080 --> 00:42:55,720
Speaker 5: What else? I don't focus on? I mean I'm talking

1011
00:42:55,800 --> 00:42:57,920
Speaker 5: with a couple right now, but I don't focus on it.

1012
00:42:58,400 --> 00:42:59,920
Speaker 1: All right, Well, let's get you to focus here.

1013
00:43:00,080 --> 00:43:02,640
Speaker 3: So we're gonna ask some fun loaded questions and help

1014
00:43:02,719 --> 00:43:04,799
Speaker 3: everybody kind of get some perspective for the twenty twenty

1015
00:43:04,800 --> 00:43:07,600
Speaker 3: two baseball season. I can ask you the question, who's

1016
00:43:07,600 --> 00:43:10,520
Speaker 3: the next Robbie Ray, the next breakout pitcher? And if

1017
00:43:10,560 --> 00:43:12,919
Speaker 3: you wanted to find it as a veteran who takes

1018
00:43:12,920 --> 00:43:15,080
Speaker 3: the next step forward, that's fine. If you want to

1019
00:43:15,360 --> 00:43:18,719
Speaker 3: do both and overachieve, that's fine. So who is that

1020
00:43:18,719 --> 00:43:20,720
Speaker 3: guy for you? And if you have a veteran, please

1021
00:43:20,719 --> 00:43:23,040
Speaker 3: help our listening audience. They'd love to hear all the

1022
00:43:23,080 --> 00:43:24,279
Speaker 3: genius of Paul sport here.

1023
00:43:24,360 --> 00:43:26,160
Speaker 5: I think, like one of the obvious ones that a

1024
00:43:26,200 --> 00:43:27,840
Speaker 5: lot of people have been saying that kind of fits

1025
00:43:27,880 --> 00:43:31,040
Speaker 5: his mold a little bit better is like Andrew Heeney, Like,

1026
00:43:31,800 --> 00:43:34,280
Speaker 5: you know, a guy who's had some success, like fits

1027
00:43:34,280 --> 00:43:38,080
Speaker 5: of success crusty way at the back of the ADP.

1028
00:43:38,360 --> 00:43:39,719
Speaker 5: If I told you he was a cy young winner

1029
00:43:39,760 --> 00:43:41,239
Speaker 5: right now, you'd laugh, which is what you would have

1030
00:43:41,239 --> 00:43:43,160
Speaker 5: done if I had told you Robbie Ray was last year.

1031
00:43:43,280 --> 00:43:45,120
Speaker 5: So that's all I meant by that, But you made

1032
00:43:45,120 --> 00:43:46,880
Speaker 5: it break out picture. So I'm gonna go with my

1033
00:43:46,920 --> 00:43:52,120
Speaker 5: boy Patrick Standibal. Now. I'm not particularly concerned by the

1034
00:43:52,160 --> 00:43:55,160
Speaker 5: injury from last year because what I have learned about

1035
00:43:55,200 --> 00:43:59,480
Speaker 5: stress fractures via some chatter on Twitter with folks is

1036
00:43:59,520 --> 00:44:04,439
Speaker 5: that generally a young person's thing injury and not one

1037
00:44:04,480 --> 00:44:08,080
Speaker 5: that is particularly concerning long term, So that the back

1038
00:44:08,160 --> 00:44:10,160
Speaker 5: injury that cost him time last year limited him to

1039
00:44:10,239 --> 00:44:13,520
Speaker 5: eighty seven games shouldn't be a major issue. When it

1040
00:44:13,560 --> 00:44:15,440
Speaker 5: says that he should be one hundred percent by a spring,

1041
00:44:16,120 --> 00:44:18,760
Speaker 5: that is what he should be. So we'll see. Obviously,

1042
00:44:18,760 --> 00:44:22,680
Speaker 5: I'll pivot if necessary. But on the talent, the breakout

1043
00:44:22,719 --> 00:44:25,640
Speaker 5: was there last year was really really impressive. Fifteen percent

1044
00:44:25,680 --> 00:44:28,000
Speaker 5: swinging strike rates. He'd always had some good swinging strike

1045
00:44:28,080 --> 00:44:30,439
Speaker 5: rates in his first two samples, which were just over

1046
00:44:30,680 --> 00:44:33,640
Speaker 5: or just under forty innings a piece in nineteen and twenty,

1047
00:44:33,800 --> 00:44:36,280
Speaker 5: but the strikeouts hadn't quite been there, jumped to twenty

1048
00:44:36,280 --> 00:44:38,759
Speaker 5: six percent last year. Does need to rain in the

1049
00:44:38,760 --> 00:44:41,719
Speaker 5: homers a bit, for sure, so does Robbie Ray. Right,

1050
00:44:41,800 --> 00:44:43,360
Speaker 5: Even Robby Ray last year had a little bit of

1051
00:44:43,360 --> 00:44:45,360
Speaker 5: a home issuy, so even that parallel kind of works

1052
00:44:45,520 --> 00:44:49,120
Speaker 5: also a lefty, But I really think Patrick Sandival can

1053
00:44:49,160 --> 00:44:51,480
Speaker 5: have kind of the full breakout. I don't know if

1054
00:44:51,480 --> 00:44:54,640
Speaker 5: you guys are like me. Neither of you are Al

1055
00:44:54,680 --> 00:44:56,719
Speaker 5: West fans, so you don't have to worry about it

1056
00:44:56,800 --> 00:44:58,959
Speaker 5: conflicting with your team. But I root for the angel

1057
00:44:59,040 --> 00:45:00,960
Speaker 5: to make the playoffs just to have Otani and Trout

1058
00:45:00,960 --> 00:45:03,200
Speaker 5: in the playoffs. So I stay pretty dialed in on

1059
00:45:03,239 --> 00:45:06,520
Speaker 5: their team just because I really want to will Otani

1060
00:45:06,520 --> 00:45:09,480
Speaker 5: and Trout into the playoffs and Sandoval breaking out would

1061
00:45:09,520 --> 00:45:13,600
Speaker 5: be coossal for their pitching needs. Obviously, Thor would be

1062
00:45:13,680 --> 00:45:16,200
Speaker 5: a big part of that, Otani continuing to stay healthy,

1063
00:45:16,320 --> 00:45:18,680
Speaker 5: but I think Patrick Sandoval could be a major key

1064
00:45:19,160 --> 00:45:21,640
Speaker 5: in finally getting us those two guys to the playoffs.

1065
00:45:22,280 --> 00:45:25,239
Speaker 3: Well, if they expand to fourteen teams in the playoffs,

1066
00:45:25,320 --> 00:45:27,440
Speaker 3: you know, let's expand to us ever many teams it

1067
00:45:27,480 --> 00:45:29,239
Speaker 3: takes to get Otani and Trout in the playoffs. I

1068
00:45:29,280 --> 00:45:32,440
Speaker 3: think that's pretty much what the marketing situation is.

1069
00:45:32,400 --> 00:45:34,040
Speaker 4: Right the way they've been building their staff. It might

1070
00:45:34,080 --> 00:45:35,400
Speaker 4: need to be twenty or twenty.

1071
00:45:35,120 --> 00:45:38,640
Speaker 3: Five, but I'm with you. I think it's good for

1072
00:45:38,640 --> 00:45:40,239
Speaker 3: baseball when those guys are all in there. I mean,

1073
00:45:40,280 --> 00:45:41,880
Speaker 3: you want to see those guys in the big stage.

1074
00:45:42,160 --> 00:45:43,640
Speaker 3: You know, the fact that Mike Trust's been in three

1075
00:45:43,640 --> 00:45:45,640
Speaker 3: playoff games in his career is just atrocious.

1076
00:45:45,680 --> 00:45:46,400
Speaker 5: This is terrible.

1077
00:45:46,520 --> 00:45:48,200
Speaker 3: It's a bad job by the Angels first and foremost.

1078
00:45:48,239 --> 00:45:50,239
Speaker 3: Let's blame the Angels because they deserve it for that.

1079
00:45:50,280 --> 00:45:51,680
Speaker 3: You know, if you can't surround the best player in

1080
00:45:51,719 --> 00:45:53,719
Speaker 3: baseball with enough to get to the playoffs, that's a

1081
00:45:53,760 --> 00:45:56,480
Speaker 3: big problem. Well how about you. What's your answer to

1082
00:45:56,520 --> 00:45:57,960
Speaker 3: this question, Who's the next Robbie Ray?

1083
00:45:58,280 --> 00:46:00,839
Speaker 6: Well, my guy probably also, like when Paul probably saw

1084
00:46:00,840 --> 00:46:03,760
Speaker 6: my guy, I didn't go that route, and I struggle.

1085
00:46:03,400 --> 00:46:05,560
Speaker 4: With this one. I would also say, like, I'm not.

1086
00:46:05,800 --> 00:46:09,040
Speaker 6: Picture guru like Paul would be, or really a lot

1087
00:46:09,040 --> 00:46:10,399
Speaker 6: of these guys wells like.

1088
00:46:10,520 --> 00:46:11,600
Speaker 1: I would say Nick Pollock.

1089
00:46:11,640 --> 00:46:16,279
Speaker 3: But now that I understand it, yeah, running Paul in

1090
00:46:16,320 --> 00:46:18,200
Speaker 3: the industry, all credibility is gone.

1091
00:46:18,360 --> 00:46:22,280
Speaker 6: Yeah, no, running pancake Pollock is no longer on whatsoever.

1092
00:46:25,200 --> 00:46:25,640
Speaker 5: Yeah, that.

1093
00:46:27,200 --> 00:46:28,200
Speaker 4: Does have a good stat that.

1094
00:46:28,120 --> 00:46:30,799
Speaker 6: I'm actually I'm gonna use pancake Pollocks one of his

1095
00:46:30,920 --> 00:46:31,520
Speaker 6: metrics here.

1096
00:46:31,800 --> 00:46:32,640
Speaker 4: I struggle with this one.

1097
00:46:32,719 --> 00:46:36,120
Speaker 6: I think, I'm I'm I'm good at deciphering through pictures

1098
00:46:36,160 --> 00:46:37,279
Speaker 6: and and where we need to go.

1099
00:46:37,320 --> 00:46:39,000
Speaker 4: But breakouts is a whole nother ball.

1100
00:46:39,640 --> 00:46:42,239
Speaker 5: Breakout pick though, like, Okay, you know, I think it

1101
00:46:42,239 --> 00:46:44,240
Speaker 5: would have been harder maybe to find like that krusty

1102
00:46:44,320 --> 00:46:46,560
Speaker 5: veteran type to like be the actual Robby Ray. But but

1103
00:46:46,680 --> 00:46:48,280
Speaker 5: just being breakout, I think you nailed it because.

1104
00:46:48,080 --> 00:46:52,520
Speaker 6: I couldn't find a good crusty veteran that I wanted

1105
00:46:52,480 --> 00:46:55,200
Speaker 6: to guys that jumped to my brain Marcus Stroman, but

1106
00:46:55,239 --> 00:46:57,240
Speaker 6: the k's aren't there, Sean, and I didn't.

1107
00:46:57,280 --> 00:46:59,880
Speaker 5: He didn't hit the depths like those guys didn't hit

1108
00:46:59,920 --> 00:47:03,520
Speaker 5: the depths of Ray. Taiwan Walker's one that I would say,

1109
00:47:03,560 --> 00:47:05,200
Speaker 5: I can't quit Tywan Walker. I love.

1110
00:47:05,239 --> 00:47:06,319
Speaker 1: There are a couple of n'd either.

1111
00:47:06,480 --> 00:47:08,640
Speaker 3: I think if Taiwan Walker could just you know, I

1112
00:47:08,680 --> 00:47:11,000
Speaker 3: think last year, which is on twenty twenty, you saw

1113
00:47:11,000 --> 00:47:12,600
Speaker 3: the breakout right and you saw him do the same

1114
00:47:12,640 --> 00:47:14,440
Speaker 3: exact thing in the second half of the first half

1115
00:47:14,480 --> 00:47:16,279
Speaker 3: of last year, and I think in the second half

1116
00:47:16,280 --> 00:47:18,040
Speaker 3: he just wore out. Just watching him pitch as much

1117
00:47:18,040 --> 00:47:19,799
Speaker 3: as I did, I didn't think it was anything wrong

1118
00:47:19,840 --> 00:47:22,040
Speaker 3: with Tywan Walker. I just think he just didn't have

1119
00:47:22,080 --> 00:47:24,800
Speaker 3: the stamina to continue to do it over thirty starts.

1120
00:47:24,840 --> 00:47:27,719
Speaker 1: And I think maybe that another guy too, Maybe he's

1121
00:47:27,719 --> 00:47:29,720
Speaker 1: a winner from the last season. There's another winner.

1122
00:47:29,880 --> 00:47:31,960
Speaker 5: Yeah, there you go. Let's get to your breakout. Though,

1123
00:47:31,960 --> 00:47:34,000
Speaker 5: this is a great pick. Don't don't sell yourself short.

1124
00:47:34,120 --> 00:47:34,879
Speaker 5: I really like this pick.

1125
00:47:34,960 --> 00:47:36,160
Speaker 6: Yeah, I was just looking at some other guy like

1126
00:47:36,160 --> 00:47:37,480
Speaker 6: Blake's noew, but that didn't qualify.

1127
00:47:37,520 --> 00:47:39,160
Speaker 4: So the guy that I honed in on is someone

1128
00:47:39,200 --> 00:47:39,759
Speaker 4: that you.

1129
00:47:39,760 --> 00:47:42,200
Speaker 1: Guys would want to say young. That doesn't right, No, it.

1130
00:47:42,120 --> 00:47:43,839
Speaker 4: Doesn't con That's why I didn't pick him.

1131
00:47:44,200 --> 00:47:47,480
Speaker 6: But this is actually one of, ironically, the first player

1132
00:47:47,520 --> 00:47:50,720
Speaker 6: I ever met and spoke to in the Arizona follagu

1133
00:47:50,719 --> 00:47:52,520
Speaker 6: when I started covering it, and he was a Boston

1134
00:47:52,560 --> 00:47:55,319
Speaker 6: Red Sox at that time. Michael Kopek is who I

1135
00:47:55,400 --> 00:47:57,719
Speaker 6: decided to go with. He was used, obviously in like

1136
00:47:57,719 --> 00:48:01,160
Speaker 6: a multi inning kind of relief role, and the idea

1137
00:48:01,200 --> 00:48:03,239
Speaker 6: would be to restretch him out after he had some

1138
00:48:03,280 --> 00:48:05,400
Speaker 6: injury stuff. He's so fascinating to watch and watch him

1139
00:48:05,440 --> 00:48:08,400
Speaker 6: through almost every level of the minor leagues where he struggled.

1140
00:48:07,960 --> 00:48:10,560
Speaker 4: For two years. He looked just awkward.

1141
00:48:10,560 --> 00:48:12,799
Speaker 6: And that's it's always what I've preached to about, like

1142
00:48:13,200 --> 00:48:16,000
Speaker 6: learning about pitchers in the minor leagues as they mature through,

1143
00:48:16,239 --> 00:48:18,360
Speaker 6: especially these big power guys. And then all of a

1144
00:48:18,400 --> 00:48:20,160
Speaker 6: sudden he went from not being able to throw a

1145
00:48:20,200 --> 00:48:21,719
Speaker 6: change up in the minors and he was just throwing

1146
00:48:21,760 --> 00:48:24,040
Speaker 6: the freight fast fall to just getting it all done.

1147
00:48:24,120 --> 00:48:27,160
Speaker 6: So get him into his starting role this year. I

1148
00:48:27,200 --> 00:48:29,359
Speaker 6: think could do a lot of wonders, and he kind

1149
00:48:29,400 --> 00:48:32,680
Speaker 6: of mirrors in my mind that Robbie Ray thing, where, Okay,

1150
00:48:32,719 --> 00:48:34,440
Speaker 6: what can we pick, what's the thing that we can

1151
00:48:34,480 --> 00:48:36,439
Speaker 6: pick that can make this guy elite? Get that home

1152
00:48:36,560 --> 00:48:39,600
Speaker 6: run rate down, get it down to a big, big degree.

1153
00:48:39,640 --> 00:48:42,080
Speaker 6: He's top fifteen in CSW last year he had a

1154
00:48:42,120 --> 00:48:46,600
Speaker 6: thirty four point one. That's obviously to a metric that

1155
00:48:46,640 --> 00:48:48,759
Speaker 6: you find over on Pitchreless. He was top fifteen and

1156
00:48:48,840 --> 00:48:53,080
Speaker 6: top forty in swinging strike percentage, and he mirrored this

1157
00:48:53,120 --> 00:48:54,480
Speaker 6: is a really interesting one. When I was just kind

1158
00:48:54,480 --> 00:48:57,680
Speaker 6: of going through. He mirrored Trevor Rodgers in so many

1159
00:48:57,719 --> 00:49:00,279
Speaker 6: ways to me. When I looked Trevor Rodgers had a

1160
00:49:00,320 --> 00:49:03,520
Speaker 6: thirty one point csw thirty four point one to Copec.

1161
00:49:03,600 --> 00:49:07,480
Speaker 6: They both had fifteen point three swinging strike percentages. But

1162
00:49:07,560 --> 00:49:10,800
Speaker 6: the big difference between those two a five point five

1163
00:49:11,760 --> 00:49:13,839
Speaker 6: home I think it was home run to fly ball rate. Yeah,

1164
00:49:14,000 --> 00:49:16,920
Speaker 6: a five point five and a fourteen point four for Copec,

1165
00:49:17,080 --> 00:49:19,880
Speaker 6: huge home run rate differences. Rogers also more of a

1166
00:49:19,880 --> 00:49:21,880
Speaker 6: ground ball pitcher. So I look at Copek and I

1167
00:49:21,960 --> 00:49:24,080
Speaker 6: go get him into starting rotation, get him one hundred

1168
00:49:24,080 --> 00:49:24,920
Speaker 6: and fifty plus.

1169
00:49:24,640 --> 00:49:28,480
Speaker 4: Innings, just get that home run rate down.

1170
00:49:28,960 --> 00:49:31,439
Speaker 6: And this is a twelve plus k per nine type

1171
00:49:31,440 --> 00:49:34,480
Speaker 6: of guy, elite strikeouts on a great team, for wins,

1172
00:49:34,800 --> 00:49:35,880
Speaker 6: a solid bullpen.

1173
00:49:36,000 --> 00:49:38,400
Speaker 4: What if they kept Kimberl and they had Liam Hendrix.

1174
00:49:38,719 --> 00:49:40,880
Speaker 6: This is a guy that goes five or six innings

1175
00:49:40,880 --> 00:49:43,600
Speaker 6: and he might have fifteen, He might have fifteen wins,

1176
00:49:43,800 --> 00:49:46,239
Speaker 6: and he might touch two hundred plus strikeouts this year,

1177
00:49:46,360 --> 00:49:48,959
Speaker 6: and he's going well past the top one hundred.

1178
00:49:49,040 --> 00:49:49,120
Speaker 5: Oh.

1179
00:49:49,160 --> 00:49:50,320
Speaker 1: Look, I draft him everywhere.

1180
00:49:50,440 --> 00:49:51,960
Speaker 3: But I think with Kopek, I think he's also one

1181
00:49:51,960 --> 00:49:53,760
Speaker 3: of those young guys who thinks that in every situation

1182
00:49:53,920 --> 00:49:55,880
Speaker 3: he can just you know, go ahead and beat you

1183
00:49:55,920 --> 00:49:58,520
Speaker 3: at the fastball. And that's true in the lower levels

1184
00:49:58,520 --> 00:50:00,360
Speaker 3: of the minor leagues. When you get to the made leagues,

1185
00:50:00,360 --> 00:50:01,719
Speaker 3: I think that's less true. That's something you got to

1186
00:50:01,719 --> 00:50:03,480
Speaker 3: start to figure out a little bit more.

1187
00:50:03,520 --> 00:50:03,600
Speaker 7: So.

1188
00:50:03,600 --> 00:50:05,120
Speaker 3: I think that's why the home run rates a little

1189
00:50:05,120 --> 00:50:06,840
Speaker 3: on the higher side. You gotta you gotta adjust a

1190
00:50:06,880 --> 00:50:08,680
Speaker 3: little bit. These hears are a little smarter.

1191
00:50:08,760 --> 00:50:10,520
Speaker 1: They can hit ninety eight, some of these guys.

1192
00:50:10,560 --> 00:50:12,279
Speaker 6: So that's what he's been learning to do. You know

1193
00:50:12,360 --> 00:50:14,960
Speaker 6: that they put on a bulkin roll because of the injury.

1194
00:50:15,040 --> 00:50:17,120
Speaker 6: He had just come in before the injury, learning to

1195
00:50:17,160 --> 00:50:20,360
Speaker 6: throw two different breaking balls, you know, two different offspeed

1196
00:50:20,360 --> 00:50:22,920
Speaker 6: pitches to go with the fastball. Three pitches off of

1197
00:50:23,000 --> 00:50:25,840
Speaker 6: Tommy John with the support Michael Kopek.

1198
00:50:25,920 --> 00:50:26,479
Speaker 4: That's my guy.

1199
00:50:27,000 --> 00:50:28,600
Speaker 1: All right, let's pick up the pace with some of these.

1200
00:50:28,640 --> 00:50:30,040
Speaker 1: I want to get a lot of these answers in

1201
00:50:30,080 --> 00:50:30,720
Speaker 1: from you guys.

1202
00:50:30,760 --> 00:50:33,360
Speaker 3: So who's the ex salper as the guy who breaks

1203
00:50:33,400 --> 00:50:35,440
Speaker 3: out in terms of power and has a monster home

1204
00:50:35,520 --> 00:50:36,120
Speaker 3: run season.

1205
00:50:36,360 --> 00:50:37,239
Speaker 1: Who do you think fits that?

1206
00:50:37,280 --> 00:50:38,840
Speaker 5: Bill Welsh?

1207
00:50:38,920 --> 00:50:41,200
Speaker 4: This one, I really I super, super struggle with this.

1208
00:50:41,280 --> 00:50:42,800
Speaker 4: I went with Eloy. I went with Eloy him. And

1209
00:50:43,000 --> 00:50:45,040
Speaker 4: maybe this is cheap, maybe this isn't a fun one.

1210
00:50:45,200 --> 00:50:51,000
Speaker 3: You just wanted me to say, a high contact guy

1211
00:50:51,080 --> 00:50:52,400
Speaker 3: with pure raw power.

1212
00:50:52,960 --> 00:50:55,000
Speaker 6: He just makes all the sense into me. He's never

1213
00:50:55,400 --> 00:50:57,800
Speaker 6: gotten that big push. And by the way, Eli feels

1214
00:50:57,800 --> 00:50:59,520
Speaker 6: like he's played for like twelve years.

1215
00:51:00,000 --> 00:51:03,160
Speaker 4: He doesn't. I know, it's crazy.

1216
00:51:03,160 --> 00:51:05,880
Speaker 6: And in that time, and then you know he comes

1217
00:51:05,880 --> 00:51:08,239
Speaker 6: off of like short season and then he stuffers through

1218
00:51:08,239 --> 00:51:10,920
Speaker 6: an injury all last year. I think people forget what

1219
00:51:11,000 --> 00:51:13,319
Speaker 6: a power hitter Eloy himan As is. He's a second

1220
00:51:13,400 --> 00:51:15,919
Speaker 6: round type of talent that I think you could get back.

1221
00:51:15,920 --> 00:51:18,200
Speaker 6: I think people are projecting, you know, twenty eight to

1222
00:51:18,239 --> 00:51:20,239
Speaker 6: thirty two. I think we could get forty plus on

1223
00:51:20,280 --> 00:51:22,239
Speaker 6: a healthy Eloy Him in a season. So I'll go my

1224
00:51:22,360 --> 00:51:23,799
Speaker 6: power breakout as Eloy I.

1225
00:51:24,280 --> 00:51:26,760
Speaker 3: All right, who fits that bill for you? Here Sport

1226
00:51:26,800 --> 00:51:28,480
Speaker 3: in the next breakout power bat.

1227
00:51:29,120 --> 00:51:31,040
Speaker 5: ELOI is a really good pick, by the way, because

1228
00:51:31,080 --> 00:51:34,080
Speaker 5: you know, Sal was an established guy and and so

1229
00:51:34,200 --> 00:51:36,600
Speaker 5: he's kind of jumping to another level. I went a

1230
00:51:36,600 --> 00:51:39,279
Speaker 5: little deeper, and I went with a catcher because I

1231
00:51:39,320 --> 00:51:40,919
Speaker 5: didn't have a perfect one here, But I really believe

1232
00:51:40,920 --> 00:51:43,880
Speaker 5: in Tyler Stevenson's power breakout potential six' four to two

1233
00:51:43,920 --> 00:51:48,319
Speaker 5: and a quarter sixty five scouted raw power on our

1234
00:51:48,360 --> 00:51:50,920
Speaker 5: player profile At, fangrafts which tells me that it's in

1235
00:51:51,000 --> 00:51:52,480
Speaker 5: the Bat he just needs to kind of get some,

1236
00:51:52,600 --> 00:51:54,799
Speaker 5: lyft kind of figure it out come into his. Own

1237
00:51:54,800 --> 00:51:57,040
Speaker 5: we see catchers take a little bit of. Time to be,

1238
00:51:57,040 --> 00:51:58,799
Speaker 5: honest it might not even happen this. Year he might

1239
00:51:58,880 --> 00:52:00,919
Speaker 5: kind of be more like last year at a few

1240
00:52:00,920 --> 00:52:03,520
Speaker 5: homers type deal and then bust through with like mid

1241
00:52:03,520 --> 00:52:06,680
Speaker 5: to high twenties the following. Year i'm not predicting, this

1242
00:52:06,760 --> 00:52:09,360
Speaker 5: but as like A Holy smokes kind of like the

1243
00:52:09,360 --> 00:52:12,200
Speaker 5: Way sala. DID i Think Tyler stevenson could hit, thirty

1244
00:52:12,239 --> 00:52:14,440
Speaker 5: and he hit ten last, year so that would be

1245
00:52:14,520 --> 00:52:17,440
Speaker 5: a pretty substantial. Boost What i'm projecting him for is

1246
00:52:17,480 --> 00:52:19,520
Speaker 5: more in like the eighteen to twenty two, range which

1247
00:52:19,560 --> 00:52:22,040
Speaker 5: is still a pretty significant. Jump but if you're talking

1248
00:52:22,040 --> 00:52:24,279
Speaker 5: about a guy who could really just rock, it and

1249
00:52:24,360 --> 00:52:25,799
Speaker 5: that catcher as, Well that's WHY i went With.

1250
00:52:25,840 --> 00:52:28,640
Speaker 1: TEASON i like that we always need more catchers who can.

1251
00:52:28,760 --> 00:52:29,399
Speaker 1: Hit that's for damn.

1252
00:52:29,440 --> 00:52:32,400

Speaker 5: i wasn't worried about Kell, nick and SO i was

1264
00:52:53,600 --> 00:52:55,680
Speaker 5: wrong on. That so maybe because we have confidence In,

1334
00:55:50,560 --> 00:55:52,759

1335
00:55:52,840 --> 00:55:54,720
Speaker 6: IS i was just you, know going through picking and, choosing,

1336
00:55:54,760 --> 00:55:57,279
Speaker 6: like how do you really find these? Guys this was

1337
00:55:57,320 --> 00:56:01,160
Speaker 6: Interesting From june To september of Last i'm At, rosario

1338
00:56:01,880 --> 00:56:03,759
Speaker 6: not a big power, guy really not a much of

1339
00:56:03,800 --> 00:56:05,879
Speaker 6: anything guy at this. Point one of those like, Cheap

1340
00:56:05,920 --> 00:56:09,239
Speaker 6: i'll just get some cheap stolen, bases multi position eligible,

1341
00:56:09,280 --> 00:56:11,000
Speaker 6: though shortstop and, outfield which is.

1342
00:56:11,040 --> 00:56:11,560
Speaker 4: Kind of fun with.

1343
00:56:11,680 --> 00:56:16,279
Speaker 6: Him but From june To, September rosario had the six

1344
00:56:16,480 --> 00:56:19,600
Speaker 6: most hits in baseball with ninety. Seven he had more

1345
00:56:19,680 --> 00:56:23,600
Speaker 6: hits Than Trey turner Or. Bobaschett he also played the

1346
00:56:23,719 --> 00:56:26,839
Speaker 6: second least games of the top ten in hits last.

1347
00:56:26,840 --> 00:56:28,960
Speaker 6: Season he Only Tray turner played less games in the

1348
00:56:28,960 --> 00:56:31,400
Speaker 6: top ten of all the hits From june To. September

1349
00:56:31,440 --> 00:56:33,839
Speaker 6: in that same, time this is what stood out when

1350
00:56:33,840 --> 00:56:35,600
Speaker 6: you're really BECAUSE i think we all did the same.

1351
00:56:35,640 --> 00:56:37,319
Speaker 6: Thing when you See Cedric, mullen you, think all, RIGHT

1352
00:56:37,360 --> 00:56:39,320
Speaker 6: i need a power speed kind of out of nowhere

1353
00:56:39,400 --> 00:56:44,200
Speaker 6: Guy rosario in that same time seven homers and eight stolen.

1354
00:56:44,239 --> 00:56:47,200
Speaker 6: Bases this was under a seventy five game period that

1355
00:56:47,280 --> 00:56:50,040
Speaker 6: he ended the season on when he was really questionable

1356
00:56:50,040 --> 00:56:51,960
Speaker 6: in kind of dicey where he would. PLAY i think

1357
00:56:51,960 --> 00:56:53,360
Speaker 6: it's a table. SETTER i think he's the top of

1358
00:56:53,360 --> 00:56:56,640
Speaker 6: the order. Guy he ended just hitting the crap out

1359
00:56:56,680 --> 00:56:59,120
Speaker 6: of the. Ball he showed more power than he's ever shown.

1360
00:56:59,160 --> 00:57:01,719
Speaker 6: Before he can steel. BASES i don't think he's going

1361
00:57:01,760 --> 00:57:03,719
Speaker 6: to go thirty, thirty BUT i don't think it's out

1362
00:57:03,719 --> 00:57:05,960
Speaker 6: of the realm of possibility that he's a fifteen to

1363
00:57:06,120 --> 00:57:08,319
Speaker 6: thirty type of guy next, year like a little Mini

1364
00:57:08,360 --> 00:57:12,240
Speaker 6: Starling marte that you get in just the dirt. Rounds

1365
00:57:12,320 --> 00:57:14,520
Speaker 6: so he's a great, late stolen based, option and he's

1366
00:57:14,520 --> 00:57:16,760
Speaker 6: going to be my Next Cedric, mullins biggest jump.

1367
00:57:16,840 --> 00:57:21,400
Speaker 5: Hitter and if you're familiar with real quick on a,

1368
00:57:21,480 --> 00:57:23,760
Speaker 5: man if you're familiar with How justin got, there you

1369
00:57:23,880 --> 00:57:26,400
Speaker 5: followed a lot of the. THINGS a guy on a

1370
00:57:26,440 --> 00:57:29,400
Speaker 5: lower end Team cleveland better Than, baltimore but lower, end

1371
00:57:29,600 --> 00:57:31,720
Speaker 5: batting at the top of the, order who showed some

1372
00:57:31,800 --> 00:57:35,400
Speaker 5: things late that suggests that the opportunity is. Coming So

1373
00:57:35,480 --> 00:57:36,560
Speaker 5: rosario was an excellent.

1374
00:57:36,600 --> 00:57:39,439
Speaker 6: PICK i want to point out That paul just went

1385
00:58:04,800 --> 00:58:08,640
Speaker 5: first for. Them bad team should be given, nothing but

1386

Speaker 5: six played appearances with seven homers and for steals two

1388
00:58:14,080 --> 00:58:16,680
Speaker 5: seventy three sixty four to four eighty nine slash. LINE

1389
00:58:16,720 --> 00:58:18,840
Speaker 5: i think he's going to lead off. There that lineup

1390
00:58:18,840 --> 00:58:21,240
Speaker 5: does not run very, deep it's not very, good but

1391
00:58:21,440 --> 00:58:23,120
Speaker 5: he's at the good part of it there at the

1392
00:58:23,160 --> 00:58:26,480
Speaker 5: top With Say, Sernandez Won, Soto Josh bell behind, him

1393
00:58:26,560 --> 00:58:28,520
Speaker 5: so that he should score plenty of. RUNS i don't

1394
00:58:28,520 --> 00:58:30,400
Speaker 5: know what he'll drive in because he's a leadoff, hitter

1395
00:58:30,440 --> 00:58:32,880
Speaker 5: AND i, MEAN i Think mullins himself barely drove in,

1396
00:58:32,920 --> 00:58:34,680
Speaker 5: anything So i'm not worried about. That BUT i think

1397
00:58:34,720 --> 00:58:37,080
Speaker 5: he could be like a twenty twenty type guy and

1398
00:58:37,200 --> 00:58:39,960

00:59:39,640 --> 00:59:42,800
Speaker 6: Starter this was this WILD i mean most guys share, Something.

1426
00:59:42,640 --> 00:59:44,959
Speaker 1: So you do what The cardinals did With Alex, rayes.

00:59:44,880 --> 00:59:46,760
Speaker 4: And, yeah well it's the same type of.

1428
00:59:46,760 --> 00:59:48,439
Speaker 6: Thing but this is obviously a guy like they would

1429
00:59:48,480 --> 00:59:50,320
Speaker 6: love to keep stretching, up but they've got so much

1430
00:59:50,320 --> 00:59:51,080
Speaker 6: depth they don't need to do.

1431
00:59:51,120 --> 00:59:52,640
Speaker 4: It so what do you do with a guy that's

1438
01:00:05,880 --> 01:00:09,439
Speaker 6: ERA i, mean that's all these pictures go. Through something

1439
01:00:09,480 --> 01:00:11,240
Speaker 6: similar to, that but that is to a hyperd. Degree

1440
01:00:11,240 --> 01:00:13,160
Speaker 6: he can't go late into he can't go. Late he's

1441
01:00:13,200 --> 01:00:15,800
Speaker 6: got injury prone problems through the. Roof they don't have a.

1442
01:00:15,840 --> 01:00:18,520

1446
01:00:25,640 --> 01:00:28,840

1459
01:00:54,000 --> 01:00:57,160
Speaker 5: money put it, elsewhere and you have your closer right.

1460
01:00:57,200 --> 01:00:59,440
Speaker 5: There like you talked about his third time, through his

1461
01:00:59,480 --> 01:01:02,760
Speaker 5: second time through isn't even as, good but he only needs.

1462
01:01:02,760 --> 01:01:04,440
Speaker 4: One was his second time? Through by the WAY i gave,

1463
01:01:04,440 --> 01:01:05,040
Speaker 4: you that was the second?

1464
01:01:05,040 --> 01:01:08,600
Speaker 5: Time, yeah oh, Yeah so that's he doesn't have the

1465
01:01:08,640 --> 01:01:11,320
Speaker 5: pitches to get. THROUGH i never believed that that twenty

1466
01:01:11,440 --> 01:01:13,120
Speaker 5: was the start of something big for. Him it was,

1467
01:01:13,160 --> 01:01:15,240
Speaker 5: awesome it's fun to, watch but it was sixty nine

1468
01:01:15,240 --> 01:01:17,320
Speaker 5: innings and they were very. Nice but To Nelson, lamett

1469
01:01:17,640 --> 01:01:18,959
Speaker 5: he should be their, closer.

1470
01:01:19,520 --> 01:01:23,160
Speaker 1: All, Right paul who was the Next Christian yelich Or Cody?

1471
01:01:23,200 --> 01:01:25,560

1472
01:01:25,600 --> 01:01:27,720
Speaker 3: we like, him and he's just gonna fall from grace.

1473
01:01:27,760 --> 01:01:30,760
Speaker 5: POTENTIALLY i feel really bad about. THIS i almost picture

1474

1477
01:01:41,800 --> 01:01:43,360
Speaker 5: AFL i went, to AND i was, like, YES i

1478
01:01:43,400 --> 01:01:45,520

1479
01:01:45,520 --> 01:01:47,680
Speaker 5: There AND i say discovered for, me not THAT i.

1480
01:01:47,800 --> 01:01:50,160
Speaker 5: Like told the industry About Mookie vats And Brian, doser

1481
01:01:50,240 --> 01:01:52,160
Speaker 5: BUT i didn't know them BEFORE i went down, there

1482
01:01:52,280 --> 01:01:55,120
Speaker 5: and THEN i learned of. Them Austin riley was somebody years.

1483
01:01:55,120 --> 01:01:57,320
Speaker 5: Ago justin And jason AND, I Jason klint AND i

1484
01:01:57,360 --> 01:01:59,200
Speaker 5: have told the story a million. Times we're sitting there

1485
01:01:59,200 --> 01:02:02,360
Speaker 5: having a. Combo it's the opening Night Boom rocket off the.

1486
01:02:02,400 --> 01:02:04,640
Speaker 5: Bat it's one of those head snappers where everyone looks

1487
01:02:04,680 --> 01:02:06,880
Speaker 5: because the sound is. Different AND i know some people

1488
01:02:06,960 --> 01:02:09,520
Speaker 5: roll their eyes at, that but other people know exactly

1489
01:02:09,520 --> 01:02:10,000
Speaker 5: what you're talking.

1490
01:02:10,000 --> 01:02:12,880
Speaker 1: About, no the, Difference, yeah there's definitely a.

1491
01:02:12,880 --> 01:02:16,080
Speaker 5: Difference and hear the difference four. Times he went two

1492
01:02:16,160 --> 01:02:18,240
Speaker 5: for four but the other two were rockets as well

1493
01:02:18,240 --> 01:02:20,320
Speaker 5: and was Like Austin. Riley keep that guy in, mind

1494
01:02:20,480 --> 01:02:23,439
Speaker 5: that was twenty. Seventeen he didn't even make the majors until,

1495
01:02:23,520 --> 01:02:26,400
Speaker 5: nineteen and he wasn't even good until last. Year AND

1496
01:02:26,440 --> 01:02:29,000
Speaker 5: i love what he did AND i feel vindicated about

1497
01:02:29,040 --> 01:02:31,560
Speaker 5: like being early on, him BUT i didn't see a

1498
01:02:31,760 --> 01:02:34,400
Speaker 5: ton of skill changes that say that this is now his.

1499
01:02:34,600 --> 01:02:37,400
Speaker 5: LEVEL i don't think he goes necessarily all the way

1500
01:02:37,400 --> 01:02:40,600
Speaker 5: back to nineteen twenty when he was an eighty FIVE

1501
01:02:40,800 --> 01:02:43,800
Speaker 5: wrc plus. Guy But i'm not super keen on him

1502
01:02:44,080 --> 01:02:46,600
Speaker 5: holding the one thirty FIVE wrc plus the three on,

1503
01:02:46,600 --> 01:02:48,520
Speaker 5: one the three or three average is the biggest issue for.

1504
01:02:48,560 --> 01:02:50,000
Speaker 5: ME i think it'll be a power, guy BUT i

1505
01:02:50,000 --> 01:02:52,320
Speaker 5: think we're gonna see like twenty five and eighty with

1506
01:02:52,520 --> 01:02:55,320
Speaker 5: like a two forty average is really. Possible that's not my,

1507
01:02:55,360 --> 01:02:57,800
Speaker 5: projection but that is the fall off For. Riley that

1508
01:02:57,840 --> 01:03:00,120
Speaker 5: would be my. Concern, now both those guys.

1509
01:03:00,120 --> 01:03:02,640
Speaker 1: Injury freeman doesn't come back To that's another thing.

1510
01:03:02,560 --> 01:03:03,479
Speaker 5: Too to keep counting.

1511
01:03:03,520 --> 01:03:06,440
Speaker 3: Category when you Have Freddy freeman in the in a,

1512
01:03:06,520 --> 01:03:08,600
Speaker 3: lineup you know that's a whole different kind of line of.

1513
01:03:08,640 --> 01:03:10,840
Speaker 3: Protection surrounding it where a guy Like Austin riley can.

1514
01:03:10,880 --> 01:03:14,680
Speaker 3: Thrive now when you're the guy you KNOW i back In,

1515
01:03:14,720 --> 01:03:18,360
Speaker 3: may right, Exactly but all, Right, welsh how about for

1516
01:03:18,440 --> 01:03:20,160
Speaker 3: user a guy that kind of fits that bill in terms,

1517
01:03:20,200 --> 01:03:23,360
Speaker 3: of you, know guy you think is highly regarded or

1518
01:03:23,440 --> 01:03:25,439
Speaker 3: you feel is established, already that you think is gonna

1519
01:03:25,440 --> 01:03:25,560
Speaker 3: have a.

1520
01:03:25,600 --> 01:03:28,720
Speaker 5: DRAW i say one kindy, thing neither of your, injury

1521
01:03:28,800 --> 01:03:30,680
Speaker 5: because like those are hard to. Predict AND i know

1522
01:03:30,720 --> 01:03:33,520
Speaker 5: that those basically were the reasons For yellich And, bellinger so.

1523
01:03:33,440 --> 01:03:35,600
Speaker 3: We HAD i don't know What gelwich's reason was last,

1524
01:03:35,640 --> 01:03:37,080
Speaker 3: year because he kept saying how healthy he.

1525
01:03:37,160 --> 01:03:40,000

Speaker 3: AND i would, say, WELL i Give yellwich your. Pass

1528
01:03:44,200 --> 01:03:46,040
Speaker 3: but you know there's only so much to give him

1529
01:03:46,040 --> 01:03:47,480
Speaker 3: a pass because you keep, saying, No i'm, Healthy i'm.

01:04:06,600 --> 01:04:08,840
Speaker 6: Guys at the end of the, day you, know everybody's

1540
01:04:09,320 --> 01:04:11,840
Speaker 6: chasing stolen bases a couple of. Positions, also you can

1541
01:04:11,920 --> 01:04:15,400
Speaker 6: maybe second and short on. HIM i z a former diamondback.

1542
01:04:15,560 --> 01:04:18,040
Speaker 6: Prospect the only thing that's always rking me About, jazz

1543
01:04:18,040 --> 01:04:19,600
Speaker 6: and it was back when he was with this. Team

1544
01:04:20,040 --> 01:04:24,360
Speaker 6: he's a crazy pull heavy guy who is insanely streaky

1545
01:04:24,440 --> 01:04:27,480
Speaker 6: to The javi Or baya's, mold and he's got really

1546
01:04:27,560 --> 01:04:30,720
Speaker 6: high k rates that he just doesn't have a cushion

1547
01:04:30,800 --> 01:04:32,560
Speaker 6: if he. Struggles SO i look at a guy like

1548
01:04:32,560 --> 01:04:34,720
Speaker 6: that that is being, drafted like in the top seventy

1549
01:04:34,720 --> 01:04:37,720
Speaker 6: five in a very prominent, place being drafted over guys

1550
01:04:37,760 --> 01:04:40,080
Speaker 6: Like javy Or, baia is being drafted over in some

1551
01:04:40,160 --> 01:04:42,760
Speaker 6: cases over guys Like Corey seeker And Carlos korea and

1552
01:04:42,760 --> 01:04:43,880
Speaker 6: stuff like that because of stolen.

1553
01:04:43,920 --> 01:04:47,800
Speaker 4: Bases but it's not a good, team and it's a, crazy.

1554
01:04:47,400 --> 01:04:49,760
Speaker 6: Crazy volatile strikeout guy that if he gets in a

1555
01:04:49,760 --> 01:04:52,680
Speaker 6: bad swing of, it he's not rosterble you, know he's

1556
01:04:52,720 --> 01:04:53,360
Speaker 6: just not going to be.

1557
01:04:53,440 --> 01:04:55,160
Speaker 4: Rosterble if it gets in a really bad, swing is

1558
01:04:55,200 --> 01:04:55,640
Speaker 4: it going to get?

1559
01:04:55,640 --> 01:04:58,200
Speaker 6: There probably. Not he's an electric. Dude they're not going

1560
01:04:58,240 --> 01:04:58,840
Speaker 6: to do anything with.

1561
01:04:58,920 --> 01:05:02,360
Speaker 4: Him But i'm worried that the cost.

1562
01:05:02,120 --> 01:05:05,480
Speaker 6: Of twenty, twenty as far as homers are still in bases,

1563
01:05:05,520 --> 01:05:08,760
Speaker 6: go are going to be a very detrimental batting average

1564
01:05:08,840 --> 01:05:11,840
Speaker 6: and runs AN rbi might be relatively low as, well

1565
01:05:12,200 --> 01:05:15,200
Speaker 6: just based on the. Team SO i think my pick

1566
01:05:15,200 --> 01:05:16,200
Speaker 6: here is going to be.

1567
01:05:16,280 --> 01:05:19,720
Speaker 5: Jazz, Yeah jazzism is a good pick here, too because

1568
01:05:20,080 --> 01:05:22,040
Speaker 5: you didn't even, mention like one of the big takeaway

1569
01:05:22,040 --> 01:05:24,000
Speaker 5: stats about how he had the what was, it like

1570
01:05:24,000 --> 01:05:27,480
Speaker 5: a nine sixty nine ops In april did a ton

1571
01:05:27,520 --> 01:05:29,600
Speaker 5: of his, damage but From may on and he got.

1572
01:05:29,640 --> 01:05:31,400
Speaker 5: Hurt so he started the first half Of may on

1573
01:05:31,440 --> 01:05:33,200
Speaker 5: THE il came back off THE, iol and from that

1574
01:05:33,240 --> 01:05:35,720
Speaker 5: point forward he was a six eighty one guy with

1575
01:05:35,800 --> 01:05:39,720
Speaker 5: fourteen homers and fourteen, Steals and like you, said that

1576
01:05:39,760 --> 01:05:41,440
Speaker 5: passes out to twenty two to twenty, two but with

1577
01:05:41,480 --> 01:05:44,400
Speaker 5: a two thirty six, average and he doesn't get on

1578
01:05:44,480 --> 01:05:47,840
Speaker 5: base enough to supplement the stolen bases with like, walks

1579
01:05:47,880 --> 01:05:50,360
Speaker 5: and that's why people worry about guys who don't take.

1580
01:05:50,400 --> 01:05:52,640
Speaker 5: Walks if you ever, wonder, like what walks aren't? Magic

1581
01:05:52,680 --> 01:05:54,320
Speaker 5: why do you care that much when you're in a

1582
01:05:54,360 --> 01:05:56,440
Speaker 5: slump getting on? Base you can you can still get

1583
01:05:56,480 --> 01:05:58,440
Speaker 5: on base via the. Walk you can, steal and you

1584
01:05:58,480 --> 01:06:00,440
Speaker 5: can score a run if you. Can he didn't get on.

1585
01:06:00,520 --> 01:06:03,320
Speaker 5: Base you can't do a darn thing for a. Being

1586
01:06:03,600 --> 01:06:06,200
Speaker 5: so jazz is a great.

1587
01:06:06,200 --> 01:06:07,800
Speaker 1: Thing, well you can't steal.

1588
01:06:07,840 --> 01:06:10,000
Speaker 5: First that's WHAT i always, Exactly AND i know it's a,

1589
01:06:10,040 --> 01:06:13,120
Speaker 5: cliche but like it's so. True And edie can't. Steal

1590
01:06:13,440 --> 01:06:14,760
Speaker 5: he's a can't steal first kind of.

1591
01:06:14,800 --> 01:06:17,600
Speaker 1: Guy all, right last question, Here this one's.

1592
01:06:17,600 --> 01:06:20,560
Speaker 3: Fun who's the next commissioner of? Baseball well she got

1593
01:06:20,560 --> 01:06:21,880
Speaker 3: an answer for this. One who do you want to

1594
01:06:21,920 --> 01:06:23,640
Speaker 3: see in that? Role because clearly none of us want

1595
01:06:23,640 --> 01:06:24,400
Speaker 3: to See Rob manford.

1596
01:06:24,440 --> 01:06:29,680
Speaker 6: Anymore vince, McMahon, Honestly vince, McMahon because McMahon couldn't come

1597
01:06:29,760 --> 01:06:34,040
Speaker 6: up with any worse ideas than What mamford and baseball.

1598
01:06:34,080 --> 01:06:36,840
Speaker 4: Does guess, What guess What vince has always.

1599
01:06:36,880 --> 01:06:40,520
Speaker 6: Got he's always got guys in the in the, ring always,

1600
01:06:40,560 --> 01:06:43,800
Speaker 6: Working they're always coming up with new innovative. Stuff maybe

1601
01:06:43,840 --> 01:06:45,520
Speaker 6: he's firing a whole bunch of them all the. Time

1602
01:06:45,560 --> 01:06:49,320
Speaker 6: but whatever burning. Churn i'll take a steel cage center

1603
01:06:49,360 --> 01:06:52,560
Speaker 6: field match over expanded bases or pitch clock.

1604
01:06:52,640 --> 01:06:54,360
Speaker 4: Anytime maybe they can do that.

1605
01:06:54,280 --> 01:06:57,080
Speaker 1: Pitch on a, roster, like screw, this you don't want to?

1606
01:06:57,080 --> 01:07:01,840
Speaker 1: Play somebody give me at About vince.

1607
01:07:01,640 --> 01:07:04,120
Speaker 6: McMahon would turn the pitch clock into a royal rumble,

1608
01:07:04,160 --> 01:07:06,280
Speaker 6: clock so that would be the bullpen guy's running.

1609
01:07:06,280 --> 01:07:09,320
Speaker 3: In every two, minutes a new pitcher comes.

1610
01:07:09,320 --> 01:07:10,200

1623
01:07:37,880 --> 01:07:40,040
Speaker 5: kenny AND i don't agree with every one of his

1624
01:07:40,120 --> 01:07:42,840
Speaker 5: ideas for the. Game he's definitely had some takes That i'm,

1625
01:07:42,880 --> 01:07:45,520
Speaker 5: Like i'm not as keen on, that BUT i like

1626
01:07:45,560 --> 01:07:47,640
Speaker 5: a lot of the way he thinks about the, game

1627
01:07:47,720 --> 01:07:51,000
Speaker 5: AND i think he generally loves the. Game so you,

1628
01:07:51,000 --> 01:07:52,320
Speaker 5: know that would make him a bad fit for the

1629
01:07:52,320 --> 01:07:53,920
Speaker 5: owners though they hate the, game so they don't want

1630
01:07:53,920 --> 01:07:54,960
Speaker 5: anybody that he loves the.

1631
01:07:55,000 --> 01:07:55,760

Speaker 5: have aged out of.

1634
01:07:58,800 --> 01:07:59,840
Speaker 1: IT a little bit about him.

1635
01:07:59,840 --> 01:08:02,280
Speaker 5: Too he wrote Fair ball years, ago AND i really

1636
01:08:02,320 --> 01:08:04,080
Speaker 5: liked that. BOOK i read that. BOOK i mean, again

1637
01:08:04,120 --> 01:08:07,200
Speaker 5: it's probably like twenty plus years ago that he wrote, it,

1638
01:08:07,240 --> 01:08:09,360
Speaker 5: though So i'm not sure he might be a little

1639
01:08:09,400 --> 01:08:11,280
Speaker 5: bit too. CRUSTY i, mean it's gonna be an old

1640

1645
01:08:25,640 --> 01:08:29,599

Speaker 3: been a player and has been an.

1647
01:08:31,280 --> 01:08:33,000

Speaker 4: Great wouldn't it be? Great?

1655
01:08:45,240 --> 01:08:47,479
Speaker 6: Too would With jeter stepping down from The marlins for

1656
01:08:47,640 --> 01:08:51,280
Speaker 6: him to just start his own campaign to be, commissioner,

1657
01:08:51,400 --> 01:08:53,760
Speaker 6: like don't even just like silently go, out but like

01:08:58,840 --> 01:08:59,560
Speaker 4: working of.

1661
01:08:59,600 --> 01:09:01,560
Speaker 1: It he's a guy who's been the. Player he's a

1662
01:09:01,560 --> 01:09:02,479
Speaker 1: guy who's been in the b.

1663
01:09:02,680 --> 01:09:04,760
Speaker 3: Market he's a guy that's been in ownership now when

1664
01:09:04,760 --> 01:09:06,800
Speaker 3: he's seen that end of. It AND i think is

1665
01:09:06,840 --> 01:09:09,599
Speaker 3: a reasonable guy THAT i think everybody in baseball. Respects

1666
01:09:09,800 --> 01:09:11,559
Speaker 3: and there's not a lot of those people necessarily that

1667
01:09:11,640 --> 01:09:13,120
Speaker 3: you can look at both sides of this coin and,

1668
01:09:13,120 --> 01:09:16,040
Speaker 3: Say i'm sure ownership people Respect Eric, jeter And i'm,

1669
01:09:16,080 --> 01:09:18,080
