I got a 0:01:09.880 --> 0:01:12.240 great guest for us later on in the show in 0:01:12.520 --> 0:01:16.319 studio we're gonna hear from Stomic Gross, who produced the 0:01:16.520 --> 0:01:21.119 Sleepless in America documentary for National Geographic. If you've been 0:01:21.120 --> 0:01:23.800 listening to Speeds the Spitting Statistician, you know that I 0:01:23.880 --> 0:01:26.440 care about these West coast to East coast flights, these 0:01:26.480 --> 0:01:28.959 back to back schedules. Well, Tomic is gonna join us 0:01:28.959 --> 0:01:30.479 a little bit later on in the show, and we're 0:01:30.480 --> 0:01:33.440 gonna find out the actual impact. Let me tell you something. 0:01:33.440 --> 0:01:36.800 He's gonna be talking about some studies, absolutely incredible. Benny 0:01:36.880 --> 0:01:40.440 Riccardi and Tony Sencata, they need to understand this for 0:01:40.480 --> 0:01:43.160 their DFS lineup block. I'm telling you some real good 0:01:43.200 --> 0:01:46.880 information later on. As usual, in this last week of 0:01:47.000 --> 0:01:49.320 the preseason, before we hit opening Day this Sunday in 0:01:49.320 --> 0:01:52.680 Major League Baseball, Speeds the Spitting Statistician will preview and 0:01:52.720 --> 0:01:54.640 give his spotlight on a team. Today it is the 0:01:54.720 --> 0:01:57.840 San Francisco Giants. And also, as you know, we are 0:01:57.880 --> 0:01:59.920 getting down to it when it comes to the TV 0:02:00.040 --> 0:02:02.760 Greatest of All Time tournament, so we got some matchups 0:02:02.760 --> 0:02:05.760 in the animated region to preview as well. If you 0:02:05.760 --> 0:02:07.640 want to hit me up at any point this hour, 0:02:07.760 --> 0:02:10.560 you can do that At eight four four eight, four, three, six, eight, 0:02:10.639 --> 0:02:13.520 seven nine. Follow us at F and T s Y Radio. 0:02:13.919 --> 0:02:16.600 Follow me at Spitting Speeds. We're gonna give you everything 0:02:16.639 --> 0:02:19.240 you need to win your league and win that cash. 0:02:19.240 --> 0:02:21.679 But we get started with, as always, top five that 0:02:21.800 --> 0:02:23.080 are alive. I want to start with a couple of 0:02:23.080 --> 0:02:25.760 news and notes from Major League Baseball, like I said 0:02:25.960 --> 0:02:28.160 last week before the season, and we have found that 0:02:28.200 --> 0:02:31.560 the Dodgers pitcher Julio Urias will start the season in 0:02:31.680 --> 0:02:33.680 the minors. Okay, a lot of people thought he might 0:02:33.720 --> 0:02:36.960 have made that opening rotation. Speeds was not one of them. 0:02:37.000 --> 0:02:39.080 I think he uh he, I thought he was gonna 0:02:39.080 --> 0:02:40.400 start in the minors. He is going to start in 0:02:40.440 --> 0:02:41.880 the minors. But I tell you what, I like this 0:02:41.919 --> 0:02:46.000 move because these new young kids who winds up happening 0:02:46.080 --> 0:02:48.360 is they have an innings limit on them as they're 0:02:48.480 --> 0:02:51.080 you know, stretching themselves out. And I would hate for 0:02:51.080 --> 0:02:52.960 you to have your reus on your team and then 0:02:52.960 --> 0:02:56.000 he hits his innings cap right when you need him 0:02:56.040 --> 0:02:58.560 in uh, you know, July or August, competing for Fantasy 0:02:58.680 --> 0:03:02.520 Baseball championship or layoff run. So keep your eye on him. 0:03:02.520 --> 0:03:04.600 He will get called up. I'd say, right after that 0:03:04.680 --> 0:03:08.160 service time is up. Urban Santana will be the opening 0:03:08.200 --> 0:03:11.120 day starter for the Minnesota Twins. I don't know if 0:03:11.120 --> 0:03:13.600 that's good news or bad news for the Twins. Yeah, 0:03:13.600 --> 0:03:16.960 I think Urban Santana is a rosterable picture, maybe as 0:03:17.000 --> 0:03:19.000 an sp for but the fact that he is the 0:03:19.040 --> 0:03:22.360 opening day quote unquote ace for the Twins does not 0:03:22.600 --> 0:03:26.240 bold Well. We have another opening day start announcement, this 0:03:26.280 --> 0:03:28.880 one for the San Diego Padres. Your list shot scene 0:03:29.360 --> 0:03:32.160 is going to get the start for the San Diego Padres. 0:03:32.240 --> 0:03:35.360 Let me tell you something right now, anybody that just 0:03:35.440 --> 0:03:38.120 realized that Major League Baseball the slates are now live 0:03:38.160 --> 0:03:41.200 on Fan Duel and on Draft Kings, I'm telling you 0:03:41.280 --> 0:03:44.680 right now, my opening day slate will be stacking some 0:03:44.800 --> 0:03:48.760 Dodgers against shah Sin on that Monday slate. Carlos Worldon 0:03:48.920 --> 0:03:50.960 looks like well, he will start the season on the 0:03:51.080 --> 0:03:53.520 d L. He got a second m R. I good 0:03:53.520 --> 0:03:56.400 news is that they showed no structural damage, but that 0:03:56.480 --> 0:03:59.360 original diagnosis looks to be correct. That is versitis in 0:03:59.440 --> 0:04:01.760 his arm. You will probably start and miss most of 0:04:01.840 --> 0:04:04.440 April on the d L. We have a trade in 0:04:04.600 --> 0:04:07.920 Major League Baseball today, as well, the Temper Bay Rays. 0:04:07.920 --> 0:04:10.960 They get Peter Borgeous from the Chaie Socks for the 0:04:11.040 --> 0:04:13.960 player to be named later. And I gotta ask you, 0:04:14.080 --> 0:04:17.080 Frankie standfull, how do you feel about the infamous player 0:04:17.160 --> 0:04:19.960 to be named later? I kinda, I kinda wish I 0:04:20.040 --> 0:04:22.760 was a player to be named later. No, well, Dan, 0:04:22.839 --> 0:04:25.080 we can't trade you, you know, to be part of 0:04:25.120 --> 0:04:27.440 any trades. We need you around here. I appreciate that. 0:04:27.520 --> 0:04:30.440 Now Monday through Friday, seven eight p m. Here on 0:04:30.480 --> 0:04:33.760 the Fantasy Freestyle on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network, A Frankie, 0:04:33.760 --> 0:04:36.400 we got some news and notes in the NFL as well. 0:04:36.440 --> 0:04:38.720 It looks like the Saints are taking a long, hard 0:04:38.800 --> 0:04:41.279 look at Malcolm Butler to see if they want to 0:04:41.320 --> 0:04:44.719 maybe try to acquire him via trade or ready to 0:04:44.800 --> 0:04:47.520 pounce if he does not sign his tender with the 0:04:47.520 --> 0:04:50.680 New England Patriots. And you know what, I realized, these 0:04:50.720 --> 0:04:54.400 Saints and the Patriots have had joint practices, you know, 0:04:54.440 --> 0:04:57.080 in training camp for the last few years. And then 0:04:57.200 --> 0:04:59.560 what do you see? You see the trade of Brandon 0:04:59.640 --> 0:05:02.480 Cooks from the Saints to the Pats. I think Bill 0:05:02.520 --> 0:05:05.239 Belichick is using this strategically to get a good look 0:05:05.480 --> 0:05:07.919 at some guys that he may target in the future. 0:05:08.120 --> 0:05:10.080 I think it's an interesting strategy. Keep an eye on 0:05:10.120 --> 0:05:13.960 which teams have joint practices once we head into August. 0:05:14.040 --> 0:05:17.760 For the Indianapolis Colts, Chuck Pagano has said that getting 0:05:17.800 --> 0:05:21.440 a young running back is paramount as they look to 0:05:21.520 --> 0:05:23.560 the NFL Draft. It makes me wonder if they will 0:05:23.680 --> 0:05:26.719 spend a first round pick on someone like, you know, 0:05:26.800 --> 0:05:30.119 Christian McCaffrey, Dalvin Cook, Leonard four Nette. I'm even hearing 0:05:30.160 --> 0:05:32.800 some reports that have Alvin Kamara running back out of 0:05:32.839 --> 0:05:35.920 Tennessee in the front first round. I like it. I'm 0:05:35.920 --> 0:05:37.680 telling you, I think that's cool. But if I'm the 0:05:37.720 --> 0:05:40.440 Indianapolis Colts, I'm looking to build up that defense and 0:05:40.480 --> 0:05:43.280 I'm looking to build up that offensive line. So Mr 0:05:43.320 --> 0:05:46.240 Andrew Luck and be up all night to get Lucky. 0:05:46.560 --> 0:05:49.719 Interesting though, I will say this, Jim Ursay gave some 0:05:49.800 --> 0:05:52.599 quotes owner of the Colts yesterday. He said that it 0:05:52.720 --> 0:05:56.360 is not I repeat, is not a win or else 0:05:56.560 --> 0:06:00.560 situation this year for head coach Chuck Pagano. I kind 0:06:00.560 --> 0:06:02.359 of think it should be. I mean, they fired the 0:06:02.360 --> 0:06:05.320 GM in this offseason. Andrew Luck is entrenched as the 0:06:05.400 --> 0:06:09.400 highest paid player in football? So who else's head will 0:06:09.520 --> 0:06:13.040 roll if the Indianapolis Colts do not impress like I 0:06:13.080 --> 0:06:16.000 think they need to and that imminently winnable division that 0:06:16.240 --> 0:06:20.640 is the a f C south over in Baltimore. Uh 0:06:20.920 --> 0:06:24.520 Mr Harbaugh says that Terrence West is his lead back. 0:06:24.600 --> 0:06:27.680 That right now, Terrence West is his number one back. 0:06:27.760 --> 0:06:30.480 I think he's gonna be in a committee. But Terrence 0:06:30.480 --> 0:06:32.280 West is probably the first guy you want to get 0:06:32.320 --> 0:06:37.000 in Baltimore unless it's a PPR league. Okay, don't forget. 0:06:37.360 --> 0:06:41.080 The Baltimore Ravens signed Danny Woodhead from the San Diego 0:06:41.279 --> 0:06:44.839 I mean Los Angeles super Chargers in the off season. 0:06:44.920 --> 0:06:48.120 Danny Woodhead is a beast in PPR formats. And if 0:06:48.160 --> 0:06:51.360 you remember, Kenneth Dixon, the young promising back, rookie back 0:06:51.440 --> 0:06:54.159 last year, was suspended. He's gonna miss the fourth first 0:06:54.240 --> 0:06:57.760 the first four games for violating those performs enhancing drugs. 0:06:57.760 --> 0:07:00.479 He got suspended there. Also in the NFL, Ryan Tannehill 0:07:00.520 --> 0:07:04.440 they're reporting, has no restrictions. He'll be fine going into 0:07:04.440 --> 0:07:06.600 O T A S. They say he feels like a percent. 0:07:06.680 --> 0:07:09.200 Remember after that what looks like a pretty gruesome knee 0:07:09.200 --> 0:07:13.120 injury late in the season as we keep me moving vance. 0:07:13.240 --> 0:07:16.360 Joseph New, head coach of the Denver Broncos, has come 0:07:16.360 --> 0:07:18.800 out and said that listen, this Tony Romo stuff is 0:07:18.840 --> 0:07:22.880 a quote unquote non issue. Okay. They like the young, 0:07:22.960 --> 0:07:25.520 developing quarterbacks they have there in Paxton Lynch and of 0:07:25.520 --> 0:07:28.720 course the starter out of Northwestern, Trevor Simeon. So it 0:07:28.760 --> 0:07:31.080 looks like they're gonna go to war with Simeon see 0:07:31.120 --> 0:07:33.559 if they could develop and bring Lynch along. That Tony 0:07:33.680 --> 0:07:37.040 Romo is a non starter. We keep it in news 0:07:37.080 --> 0:07:40.320 for you know, I guess on the decline quarterbacks or 0:07:40.400 --> 0:07:43.520 backup quarterbacks. I don't know if you saw this, Frankie, 0:07:43.520 --> 0:07:46.920 but Jay Cutler is currently unemployed, but it does not 0:07:47.120 --> 0:07:50.400 seem to matter because he's enjoying himself. It looks like 0:07:50.640 --> 0:07:53.360 if you check Twitter, you may have seen some pictures 0:07:53.720 --> 0:07:57.360 of him on the beach showing his bare ass. How 0:07:57.400 --> 0:08:00.600 do you feel about that, Frankie Stamfell, I actually havn't 0:08:00.800 --> 0:08:03.600 seeked out these pictures. Seek them out? Come on, and 0:08:03.680 --> 0:08:06.400 you're not following this. What's his wife's name? That Christian 0:08:06.440 --> 0:08:10.400 Cavalieri is at her? I think that's She's like beach 0:08:10.480 --> 0:08:12.960 kind of yeah, yeah, yeah, So maybe that's what they 0:08:13.000 --> 0:08:15.000 do on the beach. But here's what I'm thinking. It 0:08:15.000 --> 0:08:17.720 brings me to our first pole question of the day 0:08:17.920 --> 0:08:20.680 here on the Fantasy Freestyle. It made me thinking, you know, 0:08:20.760 --> 0:08:23.480 you got Cutler in the news, Romo in the news. 0:08:23.800 --> 0:08:26.920 Now that free agency has sort of settled down, there 0:08:26.960 --> 0:08:30.400 are a couple of quarterbacks out there that don't really 0:08:30.400 --> 0:08:33.160 have a seat now that the music has stopped. So 0:08:33.200 --> 0:08:35.760 the first poll question today on the Fantasy Freestyle is 0:08:35.880 --> 0:08:39.000 who would you prefer your team go get as a 0:08:39.280 --> 0:08:42.040 backup quarterback if it was obvious to them and the 0:08:42.080 --> 0:08:44.560 money was there and they knew that they were there 0:08:44.559 --> 0:08:47.920 to be the backup for your team. Would you prefer 0:08:48.080 --> 0:08:51.679 Jay Cutler, would you prefer Tony Romo? Or how about this? 0:08:51.720 --> 0:08:56.480 What about the blacklisted Colin Kaepernick? Obviously the NFL owners 0:08:56.480 --> 0:08:59.480 have done something aligned and around um with you know, 0:08:59.520 --> 0:09:03.160 forty five to basically shut him out. If Geno Smith 0:09:03.160 --> 0:09:04.920 can get a job, I don't see why Kaepernick can 0:09:04.920 --> 0:09:07.760 get a job. Or is it my boy r G 0:09:08.040 --> 0:09:10.760 three that you would want to maybe bring in as 0:09:10.840 --> 0:09:12.800 a backup. That's the poll up there, right now you 0:09:12.840 --> 0:09:15.200 can check it out at F and T s Y Radio. 0:09:15.520 --> 0:09:17.760 We want to hear your thoughts. Will be checking in 0:09:18.120 --> 0:09:21.240 on that throughout the show, keeping it moving here Top 0:09:21.280 --> 0:09:23.440 five Dead or Alive. You're listening to Day Martinez here 0:09:23.480 --> 0:09:26.240 on the Fantasy Freestyle on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. 0:09:26.280 --> 0:09:29.439 My next topic, now, we know the Raiders are moving 0:09:29.480 --> 0:09:32.400 to Las Vegas. We've heard about this already. I personally 0:09:32.400 --> 0:09:35.120 think it is a sad day in football because that 0:09:35.240 --> 0:09:38.280 is a fan base that has been so loyal with 0:09:38.320 --> 0:09:40.920 the Black Hole and the Silver and Black, whether they 0:09:40.920 --> 0:09:44.360 were in l A or in Oakland. Um, but check 0:09:44.400 --> 0:09:46.760 this out. This move to l A is going to 0:09:46.840 --> 0:09:49.280 have some ripple effects. I'm sure you've heard. When you 0:09:49.280 --> 0:09:51.080 think Vegas, you wonder, well, why haven't they been in 0:09:51.160 --> 0:09:54.719 Vegas ever before? And obviously the answer is because of 0:09:54.720 --> 0:09:59.000 the concerns around potential gambling and scandal and point shaving. 0:09:59.040 --> 0:10:01.600 You've heard of these things. Is now it's not only 0:10:01.640 --> 0:10:04.040 the players though. Okay, there was an article out there. 0:10:04.080 --> 0:10:09.040 Did you know that NFL referees are not allowed to 0:10:09.160 --> 0:10:13.040 even go to the city of Las Vegas as soon 0:10:13.040 --> 0:10:15.440 as the preseason starts until the end of the Super Bowl, 0:10:15.600 --> 0:10:18.839 they're not allowed to set foot in Las Vegas for 0:10:18.840 --> 0:10:21.080 fear of perception and of scandal, or they're gonna have 0:10:21.120 --> 0:10:24.079 to change that rule as the Raiders have moved to 0:10:24.160 --> 0:10:26.440 Las Vegas. But I gotta tell you something. I think 0:10:26.480 --> 0:10:30.800 that whole perception is absolutely ridiculous. This rule has been 0:10:30.840 --> 0:10:33.319 around for a long time and people thought that we 0:10:33.320 --> 0:10:35.240 shouldn't have a team in Las Vegas. I'm gonna tell 0:10:35.280 --> 0:10:37.000 you something. I'm a lot of things, but I am 0:10:37.040 --> 0:10:40.600 not concerned about that. This is not the days when, 0:10:40.720 --> 0:10:44.439 like you know, when when the mob was controlling Vegas. 0:10:44.720 --> 0:10:47.079 You know, this is not Hyman Roth and that sort 0:10:47.120 --> 0:10:49.520 of stuff in Vegas. Let me let me tell you something. 0:10:49.679 --> 0:10:51.760 In these days, if you want to gamble, you can 0:10:51.840 --> 0:10:54.800 use that new thing called the interwebs and you can 0:10:54.840 --> 0:10:57.160 still gamble. It don't matter where you set foot. And 0:10:57.240 --> 0:10:59.680 I gotta also tell you, listen, what are you worried 0:10:59.720 --> 0:11:03.200 about visiting teams coming and wiling out in Vegas? Like 0:11:03.280 --> 0:11:05.640 you can't get anything done in New York City, in 0:11:05.679 --> 0:11:09.520 Los Angeles, in New Orleans, in Miami. These are all 0:11:09.640 --> 0:11:14.000 cities where players, young players, rookie players can get into 0:11:14.040 --> 0:11:16.720 some some dirt. I gotta call it. Shout out to 0:11:16.720 --> 0:11:21.199 the unicorn hashtag personal responsibility. If these athletes, whatever control 0:11:21.240 --> 0:11:24.720 they have, whatever that locker room is, this should not matter. 0:11:25.080 --> 0:11:28.439 I am all for the Raiders, you know, or a 0:11:28.480 --> 0:11:30.120 team moving in Vegas. I don't think we have to 0:11:30.160 --> 0:11:34.680 worry about like what concerns might happen. Okay. I do 0:11:34.800 --> 0:11:38.520 feel bad for the Oakland Radars fans because now for 0:11:38.559 --> 0:11:41.480 the next two seasons, as the Raiders are improving, getting 0:11:41.520 --> 0:11:44.600 better and better, they know they're in essence lame duck fans. 0:11:44.760 --> 0:11:47.640 And I saw a report today actually that they realize 0:11:47.679 --> 0:11:50.600 that and they may move to San Antonio as an 0:11:50.640 --> 0:11:53.400 interim home, okay, as a temporary home for the two 0:11:53.400 --> 0:11:57.040 thousand eighteen and two thousand nineteen season before their stadium 0:11:57.160 --> 0:11:59.880 is ready in Las Vegas. If you want to talk 0:11:59.880 --> 0:12:01.320 to me about this or any of the moves that 0:12:01.320 --> 0:12:03.520 we've mentioned so far, hollerd me at eight four four, 0:12:03.640 --> 0:12:06.000 eight four, three, six, eight seven nine. But let's keep 0:12:06.000 --> 0:12:08.000 it moving here. Top five that are live on the 0:12:08.000 --> 0:12:12.080 Fantasy Freestyle. The Wouldn't Award finalists in college basketball have 0:12:12.280 --> 0:12:17.480 come out. Uh, the All American teams have been announced, 0:12:17.600 --> 0:12:19.400 and I think it's interesting that there are very few 0:12:19.400 --> 0:12:22.480 players from teams that are still playing. I think that 0:12:22.559 --> 0:12:25.160 part of what happens with this one and done culture 0:12:25.520 --> 0:12:28.880 in college basketball is that if you have anybody who 0:12:28.920 --> 0:12:32.120 like actually is nice and it's still there, they are 0:12:32.160 --> 0:12:35.320 in position where they can dominate some games. The only 0:12:35.440 --> 0:12:37.880 person who is on a team still playing is Nigel 0:12:37.880 --> 0:12:40.400 Williams Gross at a Gonzaga. This is a guy who 0:12:40.400 --> 0:12:43.160 got sixteen point seven points a game, five point nine 0:12:43.200 --> 0:12:46.240 rebounds the game, four point six assists a game. Um, 0:12:46.280 --> 0:12:49.400 you know, all American to be sure, and the only 0:12:49.440 --> 0:12:53.760 All American still playing. Only first team All Americans, shall 0:12:53.840 --> 0:12:56.920 I say? Other Wooden Award finalists are Josh Hart at 0:12:56.920 --> 0:12:59.680 a Villanova eighteen points seven points a game, leading the 0:12:59.679 --> 0:13:02.640 defense the national champions from the guard position, calebs want 0:13:02.679 --> 0:13:04.800 to get out of perdue. This guy eighteen and a 0:13:04.840 --> 0:13:07.440 half points a game in twelve boards a game for 0:13:07.520 --> 0:13:09.280 the boil Makers. A lot of people thought that was 0:13:09.360 --> 0:13:11.800 your team that maybe could have made a run. Frank 0:13:11.880 --> 0:13:15.640 Mason leading to Kansas Jayhawks with over twenty points a game. 0:13:15.920 --> 0:13:19.920 And then yes, that team is rounded out by Mr 0:13:20.360 --> 0:13:24.400 Lonzo Ball from u c l A leading the second 0:13:24.440 --> 0:13:27.079 highest scoring offense in the country almost ninety points a 0:13:27.120 --> 0:13:29.439 game U C l A and rated by Draft Express 0:13:29.480 --> 0:13:33.040 as the second best overall prospect for the NBA. You 0:13:33.080 --> 0:13:37.240 hear that, You hear that LaVar Ball the second best prospect. 0:13:37.240 --> 0:13:39.000 Don't get it twisted, though. We're gonna talk a little 0:13:39.000 --> 0:13:41.600 bit more about Mr Ball a little bit later on 0:13:41.679 --> 0:13:43.880 in the show when we put the Fun and Functional 0:13:43.920 --> 0:13:47.040 Sports Radio. The second team, though, had some people still playing. 0:13:47.120 --> 0:13:50.360 Dylan Brooks out of Oregon watched that yesterday's show, Donnie 0:13:50.360 --> 0:13:53.120 Burns and I talked about Dylan brook Brooks as a wingman. 0:13:53.559 --> 0:13:56.400 Mike Camp in the league. Is Jimmy Butler someone who's 0:13:56.400 --> 0:13:58.560 a big kind of guard that can play the wing. 0:13:58.640 --> 0:14:01.400 Watch out for Dylan Brooks. You got Justin Jackson out 0:14:01.400 --> 0:14:04.160 of Carolina who is still playing on the second team 0:14:04.160 --> 0:14:07.080 along with Josh Jackson, Luke Kennard and the true study 0:14:07.120 --> 0:14:10.000 at Kentucky, Malik Monk. Last thing I want to tell 0:14:10.040 --> 0:14:11.520 you here on Top five Dead or Alive on the 0:14:11.559 --> 0:14:14.080 Fantasy Freestyle in the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. You know, 0:14:14.280 --> 0:14:16.800 our new president has done away with a lot of 0:14:16.840 --> 0:14:21.080 traditions and a lot of institutional memory. To be quite frank, 0:14:21.120 --> 0:14:25.000 but there is one tradition that will remain Monday Opening 0:14:25.080 --> 0:14:29.000 Day in Washington, d C. It will be five throwing 0:14:29.040 --> 0:14:33.200 out the first pitch at the Washington Nationals home opener. 0:14:33.440 --> 0:14:35.520 I'm all about this tradition. I don't care what you 0:14:35.520 --> 0:14:37.880 feel about the president. I think the president should be 0:14:37.880 --> 0:14:39.480 able to throw out the first pitch. But it makes 0:14:39.520 --> 0:14:43.920 me wonder he got four percent of the vote in Washington, 0:14:44.040 --> 0:14:48.480 d C. I wonder what's gonna happen in that crowd. 0:14:48.480 --> 0:14:50.280 I will say this. You know, at least it will 0:14:50.320 --> 0:14:53.000 be a huge crowd. It will be a sold out crowd. 0:14:53.160 --> 0:14:55.600 There will be no debating the crowd size on this. 0:14:55.840 --> 0:14:58.000 But you know, and Bryce Harper last year was trying 0:14:58.000 --> 0:15:00.440 to make baseball grade again, you know, will bring in 0:15:00.440 --> 0:15:02.280 a little bit more fun. He was trying to do that. 0:15:02.520 --> 0:15:04.800 So I wonder. But the biggest question I have for you, 0:15:05.000 --> 0:15:07.160 we all know about hands. Do you think he can 0:15:07.200 --> 0:15:10.160 palm a baseball? That's my question. So if you want 0:15:10.200 --> 0:15:12.360 to talk to me about any of that, holler at 0:15:12.400 --> 0:15:15.280 eight four four eight four three six eight seven nine 0:15:15.440 --> 0:15:18.600 when we come back. Speed Spotlight today is on the 0:15:18.640 --> 0:15:22.160 San Francisco Giants will preview the Giants. It's not an 0:15:22.160 --> 0:15:24.400 even number year, but I still think they can make 0:15:24.400 --> 0:15:26.880 a run.

I 0:17:01.160 --> 0:17:04.080 want to talk a little bit about the San Francisco Giants, 0:17:04.119 --> 0:17:07.399 my man, Frankie Standfell. Feel free to chime in the 0:17:07.440 --> 0:17:09.080 way I've been doing it because you know, I know 0:17:09.359 --> 0:17:12.200 it's been it's been a long time. I shoulding left you, Frankie. 0:17:12.440 --> 0:17:14.399 But um, what I do is I first look at 0:17:14.400 --> 0:17:16.000 the offense a couple of people. I might want to 0:17:16.040 --> 0:17:18.360 spotlight a couple of people that I think are good 0:17:18.400 --> 0:17:20.560 and rosterable where I think you need to get them. 0:17:20.720 --> 0:17:22.359 Then I turned it to the you know, to the 0:17:22.440 --> 0:17:26.199 arms rotation bullpen. I give people a um, you know, 0:17:26.200 --> 0:17:28.520 I give people a diamond and a fool gaze. That's 0:17:28.520 --> 0:17:30.320 how we do it on the Fantasy Freestyle. I'll tell 0:17:30.320 --> 0:17:32.600 you who's the foul gayze, who you need to forget about, 0:17:32.760 --> 0:17:34.320 and I tell you who the diamond and the rough 0:17:34.440 --> 0:17:37.520 is then, because I need to give you what you 0:17:37.520 --> 0:17:39.480 need to win your leagues and win that cash. Another 0:17:39.520 --> 0:17:42.040 way to win some cash is on these baseball over 0:17:42.160 --> 0:17:44.199 unders for the wind totals. So I'll tell you what 0:17:44.320 --> 0:17:45.920 Vegas has as a wind total for the Giants, and 0:17:45.960 --> 0:17:48.320 I'll tell you what I would do with that. So 0:17:48.400 --> 0:17:50.800 let's start it off to San Francisco Giants. Let me 0:17:50.800 --> 0:17:55.160 tell you something. This is not a powerful team. Okay. 0:17:55.359 --> 0:17:59.040 The guy Brandon Belt led the Giants last year with 0:17:59.240 --> 0:18:03.280 seventeen home runs. That is not a high total. Eduardo 0:18:03.440 --> 0:18:07.440 Nunez was second on the team with sixteen home runs. Granted, 0:18:07.880 --> 0:18:10.480 granted that Mr Pennce did not play a full season. 0:18:10.840 --> 0:18:13.640 Granted Buster Posey had a little bit of a down year, 0:18:13.800 --> 0:18:15.919 But that's what I'm talking about. This is not a 0:18:16.280 --> 0:18:19.840 you know, big time offense. Like for example, I'm previewing 0:18:19.840 --> 0:18:24.040 the Seattle Mariners tomorrow. They have like three or four 0:18:24.119 --> 0:18:25.920 guys that hit thirty home runs. That's not what you're 0:18:25.920 --> 0:18:28.320 gonna see here with San Francisco. And I gotta start 0:18:28.359 --> 0:18:34.120 with Buster Posey himself. Now, listen, I know that everyone 0:18:34.240 --> 0:18:37.560 like automatically considers him the top catcher. I don't know 0:18:37.640 --> 0:18:40.440 if I'm among that group. Okay, did you know last 0:18:40.560 --> 0:18:43.480 year he was actually the fourth rated catcher. He was 0:18:43.480 --> 0:18:46.159 behind Jonathan luke Roix. He was behind Evan Goddess and 0:18:46.240 --> 0:18:49.160 his thirty two home runs. He was behind Wilson Ramos, 0:18:49.160 --> 0:18:52.440 who had a bounce back year for what was the Nationals. 0:18:52.480 --> 0:18:55.200 He's now gonna be with Tampa. So I also think 0:18:56.080 --> 0:18:59.560 that now Posey has sort of gone into a tear. 0:18:59.640 --> 0:19:02.280 He used to be the standalone best catcher out there. 0:19:02.480 --> 0:19:05.000 I'm telling you, I wait a little bit longer. I 0:19:05.040 --> 0:19:07.720 will not be the guy who starts to catcher run 0:19:07.840 --> 0:19:10.160 or who drafts the first catcher. And I gotta league. 0:19:10.359 --> 0:19:12.280 I got a draft coming up in literally an hour. 0:19:12.480 --> 0:19:14.480 I'm telling everybody in my league I will not be 0:19:14.600 --> 0:19:17.560 drafting Buster Posey. He's in this tier with Schwarber, with 0:19:17.600 --> 0:19:21.879 Gary Sanchez, with Lukroix. And here's the other thing. Buster 0:19:21.960 --> 0:19:24.800 Posey has had five straight years of playing over a 0:19:24.880 --> 0:19:27.600 hundred and forty five games. This kid is not a 0:19:27.680 --> 0:19:30.600 kid anymore. I think there is some attrition there. I 0:19:30.600 --> 0:19:32.920 remember last year saying the same thing would happen with 0:19:32.960 --> 0:19:35.119 a guy like Salvador Perez who kept on playing, who 0:19:35.160 --> 0:19:38.760 played into the postseason. And I honestly think it is 0:19:38.840 --> 0:19:42.640 starting to impact Buster Posey. His two eight eight average 0:19:42.680 --> 0:19:46.240 last year was the lowest average of Buster Posey's career. 0:19:46.359 --> 0:19:48.919 When you're drafting Buster Posey, you're expecting him to hit 0:19:48.960 --> 0:19:52.600 three twenty. That is not the case anymore. Okay, so 0:19:52.640 --> 0:19:56.720 I'm a little bit fading Buster Posey. Brandon Crawford led 0:19:56.760 --> 0:19:59.280 the team with eighty four r b I s let 0:19:59.359 --> 0:20:01.280 me tell you too, That's why I like Brandon Crawford 0:20:01.359 --> 0:20:04.560 at shortstop one. He's gonna be in the five hole 0:20:04.840 --> 0:20:06.520 in this lineup. In my opinion, I think he's gonna 0:20:06.520 --> 0:20:08.000 be hitting in the middle of the lineup, and there 0:20:08.040 --> 0:20:11.600
