Speaker 1: see my friend after a fun weekend of World Baseball

28
00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:16,920
Speaker 1: Classic Action. I love WBC. Shoot it into my veins.

29
00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:19,360
Speaker 1: I want it all year round. In fact, I want

30
00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:21,479
Speaker 1: to say, going into next year, if we have a lockdown,

31
00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:24,000
Speaker 1: we don't have baseball. I want a best out of

32
00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:27,280
Speaker 1: four to seven series between all the countries all summer long,

33
00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:30,040
Speaker 1: where we just watch these teams play series against each other.

34
00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:33,080
Speaker 1: That's what I want all summer and that'll satiate my

35
00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:36,240
Speaker 1: baseball needs. Because this has been absolutely electric. I have

36
00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:38,319
Speaker 1: loved every second of WBC. Welsh.

37
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:43,240
Speaker 2: Oh Mela, Yes, the WBC has.

38
00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:46,560
Speaker 1: Been Italy in my case. You know, just guys, they

39
00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:47,000
Speaker 1: got my heart.

40
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:49,160
Speaker 3: You want to you can totally be a trader to

41
00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:49,520
Speaker 3: your country.

42
00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:51,920
Speaker 1: Espresso shots in the dugouts in my heart. I thought

43
00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:52,480
Speaker 1: it was a funny y.

44
00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:55,320
Speaker 2: Have I any screaming for wine after its amazing?

45
00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:55,440
Speaker 1: No?

46
00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:57,000
Speaker 2: I mean the dudes are fired up.

47
00:01:57,040 --> 00:02:00,480
Speaker 3: It's it is incredible, and I wish we could have

48
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:02,440
Speaker 3: more of it, for sure. I don't know if we

49
00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:05,200
Speaker 3: can quite get to the plans where thank Bogman and

50
00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:07,559
Speaker 3: Rico are both like, let's scrap the All Star Game

51
00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:10,160
Speaker 3: and do that. You can't do that mid season and whatever,

52
00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:11,919
Speaker 3: But yeah, I wish there were more of it. These

53
00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:16,880
Speaker 3: guys are fired up. It's phenomenal baseball. And watching that lineup,

54
00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:19,360
Speaker 3: I don't know if you've ever you haven't seen an

55
00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:21,920
Speaker 3: All Star Game with a better lineup, especially that mattered

56
00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:24,440
Speaker 3: of USA versus the Dominican where it was just from

57
00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:28,560
Speaker 3: top to bottom, absolutely stacked across the board. So, hey,

58
00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:31,200
Speaker 3: we are, we're living the good life of baseball in

59
00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:35,440
Speaker 3: twenty twenty six. Cross our fingers we have any baseball

60
00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:36,600
Speaker 3: in twenty twenty seven.

61
00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:39,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, and for everybody in the comments already, I know

62
00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:44,880
Speaker 1: WBC is formed by Major League Baseball and the Players Association.

63
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:46,720
Speaker 1: I know they're basically the ones who run it, so

64
00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:48,919
Speaker 1: if they're striking, they can't do it. But don't Robbie

65
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:52,040
Speaker 1: of my dreams and hope, Okay, who knows, maybe somebody

66
00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:53,720
Speaker 1: else will coming and be like, you know, we want

67
00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:54,960
Speaker 1: to do a tournament with all the things you guys

68
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:56,239
Speaker 1: aren't working. You want to go do some stuff. I

69
00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:58,200
Speaker 1: want to play some baseball this year. Somebody else can

70
00:02:58,240 --> 00:02:59,760
Speaker 1: come do it and call it something else. I don't care.

71
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:02,480
Speaker 1: I just want it. I want some sort of baseball

72
00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:05,640
Speaker 1: in the summertime next year. If the millionaires and billionaires

73
00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:07,399
Speaker 1: are fighting against each other, all right, we're not gonna

74

Speaker 1: awesome Fantasy Baseball Trophy. All right, let's get to the

90
00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:48,400
Speaker 1: catcher for our teams. Well, I just wanted to kick

91
00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:50,240
Speaker 1: things off here. Who's the catcher for your all sleeper

92
00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:52,160
Speaker 1: team for twenty twenty six? Yes.

93
00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:56,480
Speaker 3: In the ever expanding landscape of what is a sleeper

94
00:03:56,600 --> 00:03:59,000
Speaker 3: out there? Yes, I actually think to be honest, if

95
00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:02,120
Speaker 3: you break out has become more of the traditional sense

96
00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:04,120
Speaker 3: of like what sleepers used to be. So at this

97
00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:06,480
Speaker 3: point I look at sleepers and I'm giving all this

98
00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:08,960
Speaker 3: caveats because I think this is like a named player.

99
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:11,360
Speaker 3: No one doesn't know this player. But I look at

100
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:14,080
Speaker 3: like the sleepers is a little bit more of an

101
00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:16,680
Speaker 3: ADP based value based thing, like we are sleeping that

102
00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:18,520
Speaker 3: we don't think this player is going to perform at

103
00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:20,800
Speaker 3: this level. They cost super cheap, and that is why

104
00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:24,320
Speaker 3: Ali Rutchman is my all sleeper catcher, and I think

105
00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:26,240
Speaker 3: I can call him a sleeper at this point because

106
00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:27,080
Speaker 3: people are done.

107
00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:28,120
Speaker 2: People are just done with him.

108
00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:30,719
Speaker 3: Nineteen and twenty homers over the last two years, batting

109
00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:34,000
Speaker 3: average is tanked. He's now outside of the top ten

110
00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:36,760
Speaker 3: catchers in a ten catcher league, he actually might not go,

111
00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:38,640
Speaker 3: you know, so, I mean he is going to go

112
00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:40,919
Speaker 3: obviously in a twelve and fifteen, but he is so

113
00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:42,680
Speaker 3: far back there, and I think he legit has an

114
00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:47,960
Speaker 3: opportunity to regain that top five catcher eligibility or you know,

115
00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:51,719
Speaker 3: value if you will, doesn't with doesn't strike out. His

116
00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:54,640
Speaker 3: batting profile has been relatively mediocre. I think this is

117
00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:56,599
Speaker 3: a year with a lot of that new line of protection,

118
00:04:56,680 --> 00:05:00,280
Speaker 3: specifically Pete Alonzo, that that can adjust. He's all is

119
00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:01,479
Speaker 3: getting the ball in the air and barreling.

120
00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:02,359
Speaker 2: He just needs to make a.

121
00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:04,839
Speaker 3: Few of those changes to get back to being a

122
00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:08,200
Speaker 3: potential like two seventy with twenty five homer catcher, and

123
00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:10,440
Speaker 3: I think that's who he can be. And frankly, I

124
00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:12,839
Speaker 3: just think we are all sleeping on him and getting

125
00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:16,400
Speaker 3: super excited about every other catcher around him. He is

126
00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:18,440
Speaker 3: almost free ninety nine. You can get him at the

127
00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:20,560
Speaker 3: back half of the draft, and there's not many of

128
00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:23,120
Speaker 3: those catchers that can be top five or three at

129
00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:25,479
Speaker 3: their position. So even though he is a name we

130
00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:27,160
Speaker 3: all know, I think we're sleeping on Adley.

131
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:30,560
Speaker 1: I would agree, because I am raising my hand as

132
00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:32,599
Speaker 1: somebody who's out on him, so that must mean that

133
00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:36,400
Speaker 1: I represent clearly a large base of people who probably

134
00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:38,320
Speaker 1: are out on him at this point. All Right, My

135
00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:41,640
Speaker 1: catcher here is Moist is about the steros of the

136
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:45,320
Speaker 1: Chicago Cubs, and I like what the Cubs did this offseason.

137
00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:47,800
Speaker 1: They added some pitching with Cabrera. I think they've got

138
00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:49,880
Speaker 1: a pretty steady one through five, especially when Steel comes

139
00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:52,440
Speaker 1: back there. If you can get healthy at some point,

140
00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:57,320
Speaker 1: you've got the Alex Bregman signing, you've got peak row arms,

141
00:05:57,400 --> 00:05:59,159
Speaker 1: or I have a breakout season. I have some questions

142
00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:01,280
Speaker 1: about the second half, some questions about the lefty still,

143
00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:04,200
Speaker 1: but just putting all that aside, I think Ballisterios is

144
00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:07,719
Speaker 1: a piece that really fits in interestingly into this lineup.

145
00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:09,680
Speaker 1: And what I'm trying to do is look for good

146
00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:12,400
Speaker 1: offensive ecosystem for guys, especially young players right where I

147
00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:14,520
Speaker 1: want them to come in there and I want them

148
00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:17,520
Speaker 1: to be able to hit the ground running basically and

149
00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:19,920
Speaker 1: have some line of protection around them. I think Ballisterios

150
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:22,400
Speaker 1: is going to have that. So for me, this is

151
00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:25,320
Speaker 1: I think a good investment late that, especially in those

152
00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:27,680
Speaker 1: two catcher formats you can eventually, as long as he

153
00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:30,040
Speaker 1: qualifies there still in your league that you can find

154
00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:32,560
Speaker 1: a way there to say, okay, you know what, as

155
00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:34,040
Speaker 1: he sorts to come along in his development at the

156
00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:36,680
Speaker 1: major league level in a really good Cubs line up,

157
00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:39,799
Speaker 1: there that potentially that Bolisterios is someone who can tribute

158
00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:42,800
Speaker 1: to your fantasy squad as well. First base, this should

159
00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:44,880
Speaker 1: be fun Welsh, who's your first basement on your all

160
00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:47,560
Speaker 1: sleeper team? Because I think you and I might have

161
00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:49,200
Speaker 1: the same fella.

162
00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:53,240
Speaker 2: Oh do we have the same fella? We do? Fun,

163
00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:55,159
Speaker 2: I wasn't looking at yours, I don't think.

164
00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:57,320
Speaker 1: But don't look at mine and say I don't stop

165
00:06:57,320 --> 00:06:58,839
Speaker 1: looking at mine, Welsh.

166
00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:00,120
Speaker 2: I'll show you.

167
00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:04,039
Speaker 1: Well clearly I asked let's talk about him at first.

168
00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:06,080
Speaker 1: So that's already just a better.

169
00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:08,839
Speaker 3: So if it is late in the season, so it

170
00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:11,160
Speaker 3: is tough for you to not know some of the

171
00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:13,480
Speaker 3: sleeper we've been talking about them. So just just a

172
00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:15,320
Speaker 3: preparation for the people that roll their eyes being like

173
00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:20,119
Speaker 3: but Andrew andrew On was very popular in the Fantasy Fest.

174
00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:22,680
Speaker 3: He came up in two different segments. And Andrew On,

175
00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:24,760
Speaker 3: I think at this point it's just kind of become

176
00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:26,760
Speaker 3: like an easier pick, but he is the pick that

177
00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:30,440
Speaker 3: comes to mind when I am looking at first base. Obviously,

178
00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:33,000
Speaker 3: last year he was night and day different from going

179
00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:36,520
Speaker 3: to the White Sox to the Brewers. Completely regained and

180
00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:38,960
Speaker 3: the profile looks phenomenal, I mean just that time, because

181
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:41,320
Speaker 3: the profile wasn't that great with the White Sox. He's

182
00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:44,600
Speaker 3: back up as like a top twenty percentile and expected

183
00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:48,000
Speaker 3: slug expected batting average. He hit two fifty four last year.

184
00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:51,280
Speaker 3: His barrel rate was at forty seven percent I'm sorry,

185
00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:54,000
Speaker 3: twelve percent. His hard hit rate was forty seven point

186
00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:56,960
Speaker 3: seven percent, and I mean the barrel rate was a

187
00:07:57,000 --> 00:07:59,040
Speaker 3: career high, but the hard hit was at the tippy top.

188
00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:01,440
Speaker 3: He was striking out, he gets the ball in the air,

189
00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:04,560
Speaker 3: he's found a new home, and he is still going

190
00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:07,280
Speaker 3: super late like he was going undrafted in some spots.

191
00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:10,200
Speaker 3: So this is a very trendy popular sleeper. But if

192
00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:13,000
Speaker 3: we're making an all sleeper team, he's got to be

193
00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:13,800
Speaker 3: the first baseman.

194
00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:15,720
Speaker 2: And obviously you agreed.

195
00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:17,960
Speaker 1: I absolutely agree. I know he had Justin Mason on

196
00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:19,880
Speaker 1: for the Fancy Fest. If you mentioned that, he can

197
00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:22,280
Speaker 1: of course and go back and watch over on the

198
00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:24,760
Speaker 1: YouTube channel too, But with Vaughn last year, it was

199
00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:27,160
Speaker 1: just that whole get him out of a bad spot

200
00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:29,720
Speaker 1: in the White Sox organization. Like I like Andrew Vaughan

201
00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:31,920
Speaker 1: as a college player coming out to the big leagues.

202
00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:34,800
Speaker 1: I thought he would be a good, solid kind of

203
00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:37,520
Speaker 1: slugging first basement, that mid level round, a Christian Walker

204
00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:40,160
Speaker 1: ish like something like that. That's the path that I

205
00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:41,880
Speaker 1: always taught was going to be there for Andrew Vaughn,

206
00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:44,360
Speaker 1: and clearly it wasn't. Now this is a guy that

207
00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:46,360
Speaker 1: did miss developmental time, right, they push him to the

208
00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:49,200
Speaker 1: major leagues very quickly, and that has really not worked

209
00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:50,400
Speaker 1: out for a lot of the White Sox. The Alloy

210
00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:52,960
Speaker 1: Jimenez situation didn't work out. I'm hoping that we get

211
00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:54,840
Speaker 1: a bounce back here from Louise Robert and now he's

212
00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:57,400
Speaker 1: in a new position here with the New York Mets

213
00:08:57,400 --> 00:08:59,559
Speaker 1: as opposed to being with the Chicago White Sox. That

214
00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:01,880
Speaker 1: organize just so far as it's been death for good

215
00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:05,920
Speaker 1: performance all around. But when you go back and you

216
00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:09,400
Speaker 1: look at the splits last year, the switch that flipped

217
00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:12,920
Speaker 1: for Andrew Vaughn was just obvious and extrapolating is dangerous.

218
00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:15,520
Speaker 1: You know, I don't like to do that necessarily because

219
00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:16,880
Speaker 1: you know, you can't say, well, if the guy did

220
00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:18,840
Speaker 1: this over seventy games, you'll do it over one hundred

221
00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:21,199
Speaker 1: and fifty. No, it's baseball. There's a lot more than that.

222
00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:23,720
Speaker 1: But I think what you saw was a much more

223
00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:25,360
Speaker 1: we watched him play. It was a much more comfortable

224
00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:27,760
Speaker 1: version of Andrew Vaughn taking better at bats. So I

225
00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:30,800
Speaker 1: do think there's a twenty home run upside here for him. Absolutely.

226
00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:33,040
Speaker 1: I don't think he's gonna hit three h eight the

227
00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:35,800
Speaker 1: way he did for Milwaukee, but can he hit two

228
00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:38,959
Speaker 1: sixty five and give me twenty something bombs? And depending

229
00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:40,920
Speaker 1: on where he hits in the order consistently, can he

230
00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:42,840
Speaker 1: drive in some runs too? I think he can. I

231
00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:45,440
Speaker 1: think he needs to. I think, you know, this Milwaukee

232
00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:47,840
Speaker 1: team is still kind of a work in progress. And

233
00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:49,760
Speaker 1: for me, Andrew vaugh is a player I agree with

234
00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:52,960
Speaker 1: Welsh that is forgotten about. He's not my starting first baseman,

235
00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:54,839
Speaker 1: but I think he's a real asset, a corner and

236
00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:56,800
Speaker 1: I'm sure Welsh agrees too, which is why we both

237
00:09:56,840 --> 00:10:00,320
Speaker 1: highlighted him and the ADP. Welsh is just way too low.

238
00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:02,560
Speaker 1: I mean, I think that Andrew Vonans is going way

239
00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:04,640
Speaker 1: too far out of that zone. When you look at

240
00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:06,719
Speaker 1: how many guys I feel confident are gonna hit twenty

241
00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:08,520
Speaker 1: bombs and give me a two sixty average, is kind

242
00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:11,599
Speaker 1: of like be in that productive range, you know, like

243
00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:13,440
Speaker 1: you can get them way after a guy like Alc Burlson,

244
00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:15,040
Speaker 1: who I think is kind of the same profile in

245
00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:16,520
Speaker 1: terms of like perfectly.

246
00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:19,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's interesting, Yeah, definitely, Like I would say that

247
00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:22,319
Speaker 3: Andry Vaughn is defverally more my corner infield than any spot.

248
00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:25,080
Speaker 3: But if I're playing in a deeper league, I'm okay

249
00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:27,679
Speaker 3: if I because sometimes you got to sacrifice when you're

250
00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:31,200
Speaker 3: playing like fifteen team, highly competitive, maybe a good bench,

251
00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:33,079
Speaker 3: like you might have to take a position and you

252
00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:36,080
Speaker 3: got to sacrifice that. And I think first base would

253
00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:37,680
Speaker 3: be one of those because of Andrew Vaughn that I

254
00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:39,640
Speaker 3: would be comfortable with, because you don't want to sacrifice

255
00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:41,280
Speaker 3: too much because you need your power at a first

256
00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:45,800
Speaker 3: base projections by the way, atc or, I mean.

257
00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:47,600
Speaker 2: How about this, how about go to the bad X.

258
00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:49,679
Speaker 3: The bad X is the most aggressive and only one

259
00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:53,000
Speaker 3: hundred and twenty nine projected games, which is like you

260
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:55,880
Speaker 3: know wherever they're getting the game projection from twenty two

261
00:10:55,920 --> 00:10:58,560
Speaker 3: homers with a two fifty six batting average, that is

262
00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:01,760
Speaker 3: the most aggressive. So that's Derek Carti system, the most

263
00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:04,839
Speaker 3: aggressive of any projection system, and they're at like tippy

264
00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:07,800
Speaker 3: top of the most accurate. So Andrew Vaughn very very good,

265
00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:08,480
Speaker 3: late bet.

266
00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:11,600
Speaker 1: Also just looking at the consensus rankings here on Fantasy Bros.

267
00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:13,040
Speaker 1: And you can look at them too, depending on where

268
00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:16,199
Speaker 1: you're drafting. Two seventy three overall in the consensus, right,

269
00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:19,080
Speaker 1: three point fifty two on Yahoo like he is so

270
00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:21,480
Speaker 1: on three ten in ESPN, So he's buried on a

271
00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:24,760
Speaker 1: couple sites too, and I think you should pay attention

272
00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:27,640
Speaker 1: to that. Whereas like compared to CBS, he's at two

273
00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:30,680
Speaker 1: sixty four, right, so where you know, you might get

274
00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:32,880
Speaker 1: a little sharper with some of the paid leagues over

275
00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:34,640
Speaker 1: there as supposed to like some other spots where it's

276
00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:38,000
Speaker 1: free sharper ADP. But take advantage on those other sites

277
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:40,440
Speaker 1: where he's basically just out there floating around. All right,

278
00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:41,880
Speaker 1: So we got the catchers, we've got the first base.

279
00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:44,920
Speaker 1: Let's go around here for second base. And you chose

280
00:11:45,559 --> 00:11:46,960
Speaker 1: New York met Welsh.

281
00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:49,880
Speaker 3: What yeah, I mean continuing my theme, you get my

282
00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:52,240
Speaker 3: theme of what my sleepers are this year is it

283
00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:56,040
Speaker 3: is true like we are sleeping on their value, not

284
00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:59,719
Speaker 3: that they are these unknown people anymore.

285
00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:01,240
Speaker 1: But forgotten.

286
00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:05,840
Speaker 3: Definitely forgotten and there are no more unknown players or

287
00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:08,160
Speaker 3: anything like that. But Marcus Simeon is the guy that

288
00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:10,800
Speaker 3: kind of jumps out to me with a super super

289
00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:13,840
Speaker 3: low ADP. Obviously a bat year last year hitting two

290
00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:17,040
Speaker 3: thirty fifteen homers, eleven stolen bases. He did that in

291
00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:20,400
Speaker 3: under five hundred at bats. But he goes to the

292
00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:22,840
Speaker 3: he goes over to the Mets. There's again and not

293
00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:24,880
Speaker 3: that like lineup protection means anything, and not that he

294
00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:27,480
Speaker 3: it really changes. You know, you went from having you know,

295
00:12:27,559 --> 00:12:31,240
Speaker 3: Corey Seeker and Wyatt Langford, but you're going in with

296
00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:33,920
Speaker 3: Francisco Lindor and Juan Soto and you're gonna hit at

297
00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:35,080
Speaker 3: the tippy top of the lineup.

298
00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:35,959
Speaker 2: That's what he does.

299
00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:37,839
Speaker 3: But one of the things I've kind of been arguing

300
00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:40,800
Speaker 3: about with Marcus Simeon is in one hand, there is

301
00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:44,280
Speaker 3: a falling knife syndrome of like, is this the old

302
00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:47,120
Speaker 3: guy that is finally tapering down and you don't want

303
00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:48,760
Speaker 3: to be the one trying to grab it as he's

304
00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:51,720
Speaker 3: you know, as his production is coming down on the

305
00:12:51,800 --> 00:12:55,000
Speaker 3: other token. I look at Marcus Simeon and I go,

306
00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:57,280
Speaker 3: when you compare the last couple of years, there really

307
00:12:57,360 --> 00:12:59,720
Speaker 3: isn't an outlier. And to me, that's the thing where

308
00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:02,800
Speaker 3: it's like, well, maybe last year, maybe the environment there's

309
00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:06,000
Speaker 3: open stuff about him and Corey seeger fighting, and you know,

310
00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:08,760
Speaker 3: the hitting environment wasn't super great in Texas. But you

311
00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:10,720
Speaker 3: go and look at the profile and it's like he

312
00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:13,360
Speaker 3: still barrels the same. He still is a hard hit

313
00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:15,800
Speaker 3: the same. He got the ball in the air actually

314
00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:17,400
Speaker 3: a little bit better than he had done before. He's

315
00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:19,480
Speaker 3: not striking out more, he's still pulling the ball in

316
00:13:19,480 --> 00:13:22,439
Speaker 3: the air. He's still doing all the Marcus Simeon stuff,

317
00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:25,480
Speaker 3: all the Marcus Simeon stuff that made him like a

318
00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:28,520
Speaker 3: close to twenty twenty guy. Now maybe he's not quite

319
00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:32,160
Speaker 3: the same, but he is going absolutely free, like Adlee Rutchman.

320
00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:34,360
Speaker 3: Maybe not quite like Andrevon at this point, but like

321
00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:37,240
Speaker 3: Adley Ruchmand. My theme for a couple of these, especially

322
00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:40,199
Speaker 3: my infield, there's been players that, as you mentioned, are

323
00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:42,600
Speaker 3: kind of forgotten at this point. So I think he's

324
00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:44,600
Speaker 3: a really good value for a position that a lot

325
00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:47,719
Speaker 3: of people are uncomfortable with. And I think you can

326
00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:51,560
Speaker 3: get twenty fifteen worse twenty ten with a two fifty

327
00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:54,679
Speaker 3: average out of him this year, and with the possibility

328
00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:57,120
Speaker 3: that maybe that's bigger, maybe that's even bigger hitting in

329
00:13:57,200 --> 00:14:01,040
Speaker 3: between guys like Soto and Francisco Lindoor. So I like

330
00:14:01,280 --> 00:14:04,600
Speaker 3: Marcus Simeon as a really late, you know, sleeper, even

331
00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:05,439
Speaker 3: though we know the name.

332
00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:08,079
Speaker 1: My sleeper second basement is actually all on Welsh's all

333
00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:11,400
Speaker 1: breakout team, So this is fun. Caleb Durbin of the

334
00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:13,800
Speaker 1: Boston Red Sox. Now, now Durbin showed you he can

335
00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:17,160
Speaker 1: steal some bases, having a great spring so far too,

336
00:14:17,240 --> 00:14:20,240
Speaker 1: hitting over four hundred and twelve games, thirty seven played appearances,

337
00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:23,040
Speaker 1: stealing bases there as well. He's got three steals already.

338
00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:25,640
Speaker 1: You look at where he's going in terms of draft stock,

339
00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:28,400
Speaker 1: it is again very free. So when you look at

340
00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:31,000
Speaker 1: Caleb Durbin here, he's a two hundred and thirty seventh

341
00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:34,120
Speaker 1: player in the consensus ADP SO post two hundred player.

342
00:14:34,680 --> 00:14:37,840
Speaker 1: I think the base is somewhere around ten home runs

343
00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:40,080
Speaker 1: and twenty stone bases, and I think the upside is

344
00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:42,920
Speaker 1: somewe around fifteen home runs and twenty five stone bases.

345
00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:45,080
Speaker 1: He's playing for the Boston Red Sox now, I think

346
00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:47,560
Speaker 1: playing in that American League East too, some of those

347
00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:50,200
Speaker 1: ballpark factors are more friendly as well, so I think

348
00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:52,400
Speaker 1: that's going to be positive potentially for him. But he's

349
00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:54,080
Speaker 1: like a ballplayer kind of throw back, another one of

350
00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:56,000
Speaker 1: these guys that we talked about on the last show,

351
00:14:56,040 --> 00:15:00,640
Speaker 1: but plays hard, you know, is aggressive, you know, get dirty.

352
00:15:00,640 --> 00:15:01,960
Speaker 1: He's a guy that you come in the you know,

353
00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:04,760
Speaker 1: from the you know from the game, and he's got

354
00:15:04,760 --> 00:15:06,600
Speaker 1: dirtle over him. Right. That's Cale Durbin And I like

355
00:15:06,720 --> 00:15:08,760
Speaker 1: that about him, and I think that stuff shows up

356
00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:11,720
Speaker 1: in the box score. He is the ultra elite talent.

357
00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:14,760
Speaker 1: I don't think so, but I think in the right

358
00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:17,160
Speaker 1: placement in the batting order, potentially along with the power

359
00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:19,440
Speaker 1: speed combination, like the powers a little lighter, but the

360
00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:22,600
Speaker 1: stone bases are definitely there. The aggressions are definitely there too,

361
00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:25,080
Speaker 1: And I think he can be a helpful, useful player

362
00:15:25,120 --> 00:15:27,520
Speaker 1: too because he is right now, so they to be

363
00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:30,960
Speaker 1: that everyday guy in the infield here for the Boston

364
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:33,960
Speaker 1: Red Sox. All right, so we're halfway around the diamond here,

365
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:36,880
Speaker 1: we've gone to catcher, first base, second base. Let's turn

366
00:15:36,920 --> 00:15:38,440
Speaker 1: the corner and go all the way to the hot corner.

367
00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:40,800
Speaker 1: And what do you have here at third base? Welsh.

368
00:15:40,920 --> 00:15:44,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, this is the final piece in our collection of

369
00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:47,600
Speaker 3: like just old names that we all knew that just

370
00:15:47,640 --> 00:15:50,880
Speaker 3: people do not care about anymore. Another popular name on

371
00:15:50,920 --> 00:15:54,000
Speaker 3: the channel Max Munsey. Max Munsey with nineteen homers, four

372
00:15:54,040 --> 00:15:57,880
Speaker 3: stolen bases last year, the most prominent thing at this point.

373
00:15:57,880 --> 00:16:01,040
Speaker 3: It's almost getting like trophy. Uh you know, and Arico

374
00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:03,560
Speaker 3: has been at the tippy top of putting in everybody's

375
00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:05,960
Speaker 3: face in the best way. Like Arico gets the credit

376
00:16:06,040 --> 00:16:09,800
Speaker 3: for putting this on, but it's hard to ignore Max Munsey.

377
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:12,360
Speaker 3: And and as mentioned, you know, Max Montsey got the

378
00:16:12,400 --> 00:16:14,400
Speaker 3: glasses at the end of April last year. Then he

379
00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:16,760
Speaker 3: proceeds to like hit three hundred and two fifty and

380
00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:19,440
Speaker 3: then he gets hurt and misses some time. But the

381
00:16:19,760 --> 00:16:21,720
Speaker 3: you know, the most telling thing about Munsi was how

382
00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:24,760
Speaker 3: he said that he could start seeing spin. That's wild,

383
00:16:24,840 --> 00:16:27,440
Speaker 3: that that was the effect of the glasses. And that's

384
00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:30,000
Speaker 3: enough to be like well, this is a guy if

385
00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:32,120
Speaker 3: he's seeing the spin, if he can keep that average

386
00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:34,960
Speaker 3: at around two fifty, which he hit two forty three

387
00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:37,880
Speaker 3: last year, then he's going to be a monster because

388
00:16:38,160 --> 00:16:40,240
Speaker 3: he bear Again you know the things I'm looking for.

389
00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:42,120
Speaker 2: Do they hit the herd, do hit the ball hard?

390
00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:42,760
Speaker 2: Do they barrel?

391
00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:43,960
Speaker 3: And then do they get it in the air. He

392
00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:45,760
Speaker 3: does all those things while being one of the most

393
00:16:45,760 --> 00:16:51,400
Speaker 3: elite poll hitters in baseball. He legitimately could hit thirty

394
00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:54,400
Speaker 3: plus homers this year, going like outside the top two hundred.

395
00:16:54,480 --> 00:16:57,320
Speaker 3: Like his ADP is wildly low. He's a great corner

396
00:16:57,360 --> 00:17:01,720
Speaker 3: and field option. And again, my of these players are

397
00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:04,879
Speaker 3: being slept on from the return value that they could have.

398
00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:07,320
Speaker 3: People just don't care. They don't Not that you want

399
00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:09,199
Speaker 3: to plan your draft around any of these guys, but

400
00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:11,879
Speaker 3: you know what, you can make plans around some of

401
00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:14,520
Speaker 3: these guys because they can be the player when you

402
00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:17,199
Speaker 3: have to pivot in other directions. Knowing you can, you know,

403
00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:20,840
Speaker 3: back up on Andrew Vaughner or have a backup plan

404
00:17:20,880 --> 00:17:23,680
Speaker 3: in Max Munsey. They're the protection pieces. I think Max

405
00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:26,159
Speaker 3: Munsey is one of the few thirty plus home run

406
00:17:26,280 --> 00:17:28,159
Speaker 3: hitters that you can get so late. So he is

407
00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:29,520
Speaker 3: my all sleeper third baseman.

408
00:17:29,960 --> 00:17:32,399
Speaker 1: All right, my sleeper third baseman. I'm going with a

409
00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:34,760
Speaker 1: guy who qualifies there. But to Welsh's point about some

410
00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:36,920
Speaker 1: of these like veteran names that you already know that

411
00:17:37,040 --> 00:17:39,200
Speaker 1: kind of get forgotten about. How about post type sleeper

412
00:17:39,200 --> 00:17:42,800
Speaker 1: prospect guys. How about Jordan Lawler of your Arizona diamondback. See,

413
00:17:42,920 --> 00:17:44,520
Speaker 1: you got a met guy in there. It's a little

414
00:17:44,520 --> 00:17:46,480
Speaker 1: diamondback guy in there. There's nothing but love on this

415
00:17:46,560 --> 00:17:49,600
Speaker 1: program today, and it feels good. It feels good deep

416
00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:54,000
Speaker 1: inside Welsh. Lawler proved a lot in Triple A last year.

417
00:17:54,320 --> 00:17:57,359
Speaker 1: There was nothing left to prove in Triple A. He

418
00:17:57,440 --> 00:18:00,280
Speaker 1: was crushing the ball everywhere. You got the call, then

419
00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:02,000
Speaker 1: go well for him at the major league level, I

420
00:18:02,040 --> 00:18:03,479
Speaker 1: know they're trying him out there in the outfield two

421
00:18:03,520 --> 00:18:04,600
Speaker 1: to make them more versati, to get him in the

422
00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:06,000
Speaker 1: line up more. And I think that's a good sign

423
00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:08,560
Speaker 1: for him as well. So for me. Jordan Lawler is

424
00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:11,479
Speaker 1: one of these guys that he's only twenty three years old. Folks.

425
00:18:11,560 --> 00:18:13,560
Speaker 1: We need to slow our role, We need to chill

426
00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:15,240
Speaker 1: out a little bit. He's having a good spring. He's

427
00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:17,080
Speaker 1: got four homers this spring Welsh, I don't know if

428
00:18:17,080 --> 00:18:19,320
Speaker 1: you've seen him play live in person or not, hitting

429
00:18:19,359 --> 00:18:22,480
Speaker 1: two seventy eight three eighty one OBP. Again, small sample,

430
00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:25,000
Speaker 1: it's eleven games at spring training. But when you have

431
00:18:25,080 --> 00:18:27,200
Speaker 1: young players that get called up to the big leagues

432
00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:29,560
Speaker 1: and struggle, what you want to see the next year

433
00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:32,840
Speaker 1: is that they come in there ready to go, gaining

434
00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:36,000
Speaker 1: that confidence in spring seeing the baseball well, hitting the

435
00:18:36,040 --> 00:18:38,240
Speaker 1: baseball well. Jordan Lawler's doing that, and if he adds

436
00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:41,400
Speaker 1: in that outfield eligibility too, he becomes a more flexible,

437
00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:44,440
Speaker 1: versatile player for your bench. Laula right now in terms

438
00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:47,320
Speaker 1: of ADP has fallen like so far below where he

439
00:18:47,359 --> 00:18:49,440
Speaker 1: should be. In terms of talent, He's a three hundred

440
00:18:49,440 --> 00:18:51,359
Speaker 1: and twenty first player right now. I mean that is

441
00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:54,240
Speaker 1: just talk about free ninety nine. That is like free

442
00:18:54,320 --> 00:18:56,560
Speaker 1: ninety nine with another like I don't know, fifty percent

443
00:18:56,560 --> 00:18:58,399
Speaker 1: off coupon you come back with some Cole's cash or

444
00:18:58,440 --> 00:18:59,640
Speaker 1: something like that. That's where Jordan.

445
00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:00,880
Speaker 2: Leywler is ninety nine.

446
00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:02,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, you can get into the whole other post high prospect,

447
00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:04,760
Speaker 1: but Lawl there's only twenty three. We need to be

448
00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:07,280
Speaker 1: more patient with these guys, And this is the perfect time,

449
00:19:07,359 --> 00:19:08,960
Speaker 1: especially in the diacety leagues, to buy back you on

450
00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:11,800
Speaker 1: Lawler too, because I do think long term they still

451
00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:13,640
Speaker 1: see him as an asset, and if not that he's

452
00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:15,720
Speaker 1: an asset that somebody else is gonna look at and say, oh,

453
00:19:15,800 --> 00:19:18,239
Speaker 1: let's pluck him off, give him a job because he

454
00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:20,320
Speaker 1: can be in major league players. Still, he's still got

455
00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:22,359
Speaker 1: plenty of power, He's still got plenty of batting average

456
00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:25,520
Speaker 1: and hit tool. I like Jordan Lawler, and so should you. Well,

457
00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:28,240
Speaker 1: who do you like at shortstop for our all sleeper

458
00:19:28,280 --> 00:19:29,400
Speaker 1: team twenty twenty six?

459
00:19:30,040 --> 00:19:32,639
Speaker 3: All Right, this is a little bit maybe more traditional

460
00:19:32,680 --> 00:19:34,399
Speaker 3: sense because of how I'm gonna sell it to you.

461
00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:38,399
Speaker 3: Jacob Wilson. So you're not sleeping on who Jacob Wilson is.

462
00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:41,920
Speaker 3: Jacob Wilson is actually probably one of the like top

463
00:19:42,840 --> 00:19:46,560
Speaker 3: like best real life baseball players versus fantasy. You know,

464
00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:49,080
Speaker 3: like Luisa rise was that for a long time, way

465
00:19:49,119 --> 00:19:52,200
Speaker 3: better real life guy than they are in fantasy. Jacob

466
00:19:52,359 --> 00:19:55,000
Speaker 3: is towing that line because he's got this like superstar

467
00:19:55,640 --> 00:19:56,520
Speaker 3: niss to him.

468
00:19:56,560 --> 00:19:58,199
Speaker 2: But you know, it's just low stats.

469
00:19:58,240 --> 00:19:59,959
Speaker 3: Last year in one hundred and twenty five games, three

470
00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:03,199
Speaker 3: ten homers, sixty plus run in RBI, but he hit

471
00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:06,080
Speaker 3: three eleven. So in the same vein of what I've

472
00:20:06,080 --> 00:20:09,760
Speaker 3: talked about with Nolan Shanwell, where I mentioned, like Nolan Shanwell,

473
00:20:09,800 --> 00:20:11,800
Speaker 3: he's not on this because he was on my breakouts.

474
00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:13,120
Speaker 3: I think he's going to break out, but he could

475
00:20:13,119 --> 00:20:15,840
Speaker 3: have been a sleeper. And that's why I said, you know,

476
00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:18,679
Speaker 3: my breakout team is probably the best version of the

477
00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:22,320
Speaker 3: traditional sense of what a sleeper is. But Jacob Wilson,

478
00:20:22,320 --> 00:20:24,919
Speaker 3: I think can fall along that exact same line. Like

479
00:20:25,160 --> 00:20:27,800
Speaker 3: he's one of those guys where he is a simple

480
00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:32,360
Speaker 3: adjustment away from being a more prominent power hitter, from

481
00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:34,880
Speaker 3: being a more prominent base stealer. He can steal those

482
00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:36,800
Speaker 3: bases if he wants to. I mean, he's in the

483
00:20:36,840 --> 00:20:39,880
Speaker 3: eighty eighth percentile of sprint speed or I'm sorry, he's

484
00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:42,280
Speaker 3: in the right at the bottom half. But he has

485
00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:44,600
Speaker 3: got that ability to jump up there if he wanted to.

486
00:20:44,640 --> 00:20:48,239
Speaker 3: But my big key is here, He's still hitting in

487
00:20:48,240 --> 00:20:51,040
Speaker 3: that little baby minor league ballpark. He's still going to

488
00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:53,919
Speaker 3: be hitting there this year. Last year, not only did

489
00:20:53,920 --> 00:20:56,200
Speaker 3: he hit over three hundred there, but he smacked seven

490
00:20:56,240 --> 00:20:58,840
Speaker 3: of those homers, but he was also hitting those on

491
00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:00,320
Speaker 3: the road during the spring.

492
00:21:00,400 --> 00:21:01,120
Speaker 2: He hasn't seen the.

493
00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:03,159
Speaker 3: Results, but what you have seen is him trying to

494
00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:04,720
Speaker 3: pull the ball more. He's getting the ball in the

495
00:21:04,720 --> 00:21:07,439
Speaker 3: ground less during spring, he's pulling the ball more that

496
00:21:07,560 --> 00:21:10,359
Speaker 3: the way he makes contact. He is like top one

497
00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:14,160
Speaker 3: percentile in whiffs. He is the lowest strikeout rate seven

498
00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:17,480
Speaker 3: point five percent. All he has got to do is

499
00:21:17,560 --> 00:21:20,160
Speaker 3: make those simple little adjustments where you're getting the ball

500
00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:22,280
Speaker 3: and you're barreling at a tiny bit more and you

501
00:21:22,359 --> 00:21:24,479
Speaker 3: pull it in the air because you're playing in a

502
00:21:24,680 --> 00:21:28,280
Speaker 3: crazy small minor league ballpark that I don't think it's

503
00:21:28,280 --> 00:21:30,920
Speaker 3: out of the realm of possibility. He hits twenty homers,

504
00:21:31,119 --> 00:21:34,119
Speaker 3: he can steal ten bases, He's got a three hundred

505
00:21:34,119 --> 00:21:36,280
Speaker 3: plus average plus and he goes eighty eighty.

506
00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:37,720
Speaker 2: So the reason that.

507
00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:40,360
Speaker 3: This is the sleeper that he is is because this

508
00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:43,560
Speaker 3: becomes this year's Eraldo Perdomo. I use him as the

509
00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:47,560
Speaker 3: example that the batting average, the runs, the RBI, he

510
00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:51,520
Speaker 3: can be a top eight, top ten, maybe top five

511
00:21:51,640 --> 00:21:54,480
Speaker 3: shortstop if he can just get those counting stats up.

512
00:21:54,600 --> 00:21:57,200
Speaker 3: Got a little bit bigger this offseason and I think

513
00:21:57,240 --> 00:22:01,480
Speaker 3: he's a prime example of a sleeper, of a shortstop sleeper,

514
00:22:01,480 --> 00:22:03,120
Speaker 3: and he's gonna be mine on my all team.

515
00:22:03,720 --> 00:22:07,000
Speaker 1: All right now. When it comes to the shortstop position here,

516
00:22:07,400 --> 00:22:10,920
Speaker 1: I've talked a lot about Kevin McGonagall, and that was

517
00:22:10,960 --> 00:22:12,399
Speaker 1: gonna be the guy that I was gonna put on here.

518
00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:13,840
Speaker 1: But I feel like I've done so many videos and

519
00:22:13,880 --> 00:22:15,680
Speaker 1: so much stuff there they're actually gonna change it. I'm

520
00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:18,200
Speaker 1: gonna make a game time decision here. Well, I'm gonna

521
00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:20,280
Speaker 1: change mine here because I've been so much to Ken

522
00:22:20,320 --> 00:22:22,600
Speaker 1: McGonagall talk, and I everyone's like, Joe, if you talk

523
00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:24,800
Speaker 1: about kevinmcgonagall again, I'm gonna be bored. So I don't

524
00:22:24,840 --> 00:22:26,480
Speaker 1: want you to be bored. Instead, I'm gonna go take

525
00:22:26,520 --> 00:22:28,880
Speaker 1: a page out of Welsh's book here, I gotta take

526
00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:31,320
Speaker 1: a guy that I think is the reaction in the

527
00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:35,399
Speaker 1: market has been too negative and it's a long season,

528
00:22:35,680 --> 00:22:37,679
Speaker 1: and it's a long season for Jackson Holiday to come

529
00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:39,919
Speaker 1: back and find himself again. Last year he was a

530
00:22:39,920 --> 00:22:42,000
Speaker 1: guy that I was making my bold predictions about that

531
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:43,840
Speaker 1: he would be a twenty twenty player. He fell just

532
00:22:43,880 --> 00:22:47,440
Speaker 1: short of that. Seventeen seventeen, He's already taken VP, He's

533
00:22:47,480 --> 00:22:50,119
Speaker 1: already kind of back feeling his way out. Lindor was

534
00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:52,560
Speaker 1: back on the field this weekend, You're seeing Cortman Kara

535
00:22:52,680 --> 00:22:56,800
Speaker 1: working his way back. It's only mid March, okay, So

536
00:22:57,160 --> 00:22:58,919
Speaker 1: the fact that it happened when it happened was the

537
00:22:58,960 --> 00:23:02,240
Speaker 1: best case scenario. So at worst you get a slow

538
00:23:02,320 --> 00:23:05,399
Speaker 1: April maybe out of Jackson Holiday, where they baby him

539
00:23:05,440 --> 00:23:08,080
Speaker 1: a little bit and maybe it takes another couple of

540
00:23:08,080 --> 00:23:10,040
Speaker 1: weeks for the power to come back. It still leaves

541
00:23:10,119 --> 00:23:13,520
Speaker 1: us four plus months potentially of a good version of

542
00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:16,440
Speaker 1: Jackson Holiday. So I think that the hate has gone

543
00:23:16,480 --> 00:23:18,959
Speaker 1: a little bit too far in terms of drop. You know,

544
00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:22,280
Speaker 1: Corman Carolina was elite. Francis goes to the elite, so

545
00:23:22,280 --> 00:23:25,159
Speaker 1: people are willing to buy into that. But we guy

546
00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:27,159
Speaker 1: like Jackson Holliday who's had some struggles early on in

547
00:23:27,240 --> 00:23:29,600
Speaker 1: his career, people are less willing to do that. And

548
00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:32,760
Speaker 1: I think that's a little unfortunate because Jackson Holiday right

549
00:23:32,800 --> 00:23:34,400
Speaker 1: now is one hundred and sixty six player are going

550
00:23:34,440 --> 00:23:36,560
Speaker 1: off the board, and I don't think he's the you know,

551
00:23:36,640 --> 00:23:40,199
Speaker 1: outside top one fifty player. I just don't. So, if anything,

552
00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:41,920
Speaker 1: I think a twenty two year old kid who still

553
00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:43,560
Speaker 1: has a ton of upside. And I think the team

554
00:23:43,600 --> 00:23:46,160
Speaker 1: got better last year, certainly in the off season, adding

555
00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:48,080
Speaker 1: Pete Alonso to the middle of that order and a

556
00:23:48,080 --> 00:23:50,399
Speaker 1: healthy gunner Henderson goes a long way, and they added

557
00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:52,119
Speaker 1: Taylor Ward like all of a sudden, Like there's a

558
00:23:52,119 --> 00:23:54,680
Speaker 1: lot to like here. If Jackson Holiday can somehow find

559
00:23:54,680 --> 00:23:56,480
Speaker 1: a way to scratch at the top of that order

560
00:23:56,800 --> 00:24:00,359
Speaker 1: and be productive and stay there, he could score eighty

561
00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:03,359
Speaker 1: five runs even in a shortened season. Okay, So I

562
00:24:03,359 --> 00:24:05,800
Speaker 1: think Jackson Holiday again has pushed a little bit too far.

563
00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:08,040
Speaker 1: He's almost become a sleeper because of the injury, and

564
00:24:08,080 --> 00:24:11,920
Speaker 1: I think the market reaction is actually too negative on him.

565
00:24:11,960 --> 00:24:13,679
Speaker 1: So I want to flip that script around a little bit.

566
00:24:13,880 --> 00:24:15,800
Speaker 1: Speaking of scripts, I got a script to read here too,

567
00:24:15,840 --> 00:24:18,440
Speaker 1: because if you're playing fantasy baseball this year, the place

568
00:24:18,480 --> 00:24:20,399
Speaker 1: to do it is obviously at fan Tracks. So if

569
00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:22,800
Speaker 1: you haven't already create your league of fan tracks, or

570
00:24:22,800 --> 00:24:24,080
Speaker 1: if you have a league and you don't like how

571
00:24:24,119 --> 00:24:26,000
Speaker 1: things are going there, move it over to fan tracks.

572
00:24:26,040 --> 00:24:28,800
Speaker 1: Because fan tracks never stops. It goes three hundred and

573
00:24:28,880 --> 00:24:32,159
Speaker 1: sixty five days a year. They have an incredible system

574
00:24:32,200 --> 00:24:34,480
Speaker 1: set up where you can choose any scoring system you like.

575
00:24:34,800 --> 00:24:36,680
Speaker 1: So if you play in any head to head formats,

576
00:24:36,760 --> 00:24:39,160
Speaker 1: points or roto you can do whatever you want there.

577
00:24:39,240 --> 00:24:41,480
Speaker 1: You can have it your way, the ultimate customization in

578
00:24:41,560 --> 00:24:45,639
Speaker 1: terms of rosters, scoring, playoffs, consolations, and more. And plus,

579
00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:47,760

585
00:25:04,840 --> 00:25:06,920
Speaker 1: we made our way through the infield. Let's go to

586
00:25:06,920 --> 00:25:09,959
Speaker 1: the outfield. Give me your three outfielders for your all

587
00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:12,720
Speaker 1: sleeper team for twenty twenty six.

588
00:25:13,320 --> 00:25:15,520
Speaker 3: All right, the probably at the very beginning of the year,

589
00:25:15,800 --> 00:25:17,560
Speaker 3: I think one of the first guys I talked about

590
00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:19,760
Speaker 3: as a sleeper, and I feel like it's just been

591
00:25:19,920 --> 00:25:23,359
Speaker 3: like quiet and the spring hasn't like brought up any excitement.

592
00:25:23,880 --> 00:25:26,399
Speaker 3: But Dylan Cruz has been one of the top players

593
00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:28,399
Speaker 3: I've talked about from the very very beginning, and then

594
00:25:28,440 --> 00:25:30,120
Speaker 3: we just, you know, kind of moved on and talked

595
00:25:30,119 --> 00:25:32,440
Speaker 3: about others. But in a poorish year last year where

596
00:25:32,440 --> 00:25:34,280
Speaker 3: he only hit two oh eight, he still had ten

597
00:25:34,320 --> 00:25:38,480
Speaker 3: homers and seventeen stolen bases, a lot of mediocre stuff

598
00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:42,560
Speaker 3: in the profile, but still things with just a small

599
00:25:42,560 --> 00:25:46,680
Speaker 3: adjustment or two can re launch the excitement that was

600
00:25:46,760 --> 00:25:49,560
Speaker 3: Dylan Cruz. Because Dylan Cruz kind of an all fields hitter,

601
00:25:49,920 --> 00:25:52,560
Speaker 3: made a lot of contact in college and things have

602
00:25:52,600 --> 00:25:55,840
Speaker 3: been a little bit tougher. But as he struggled hitting

603
00:25:55,880 --> 00:25:57,960
Speaker 3: only two oh eight, he hit an almost ten percent

604
00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:00,960
Speaker 3: barrel rate. He had XBA and expect a batting average

605
00:26:00,960 --> 00:26:03,080
Speaker 3: that was closer to two forty. He had a max

606
00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:05,719
Speaker 3: ev of over one hundred and eleven, so you know,

607
00:26:05,760 --> 00:26:07,840
Speaker 3: he could tap into the hard hit when he needed.

608
00:26:08,040 --> 00:26:11,080
Speaker 3: He was barreling the ball. Eight degree launch angle was

609
00:26:11,119 --> 00:26:13,040
Speaker 3: one of the key things he needed to change get

610
00:26:13,040 --> 00:26:14,640
Speaker 3: the ball in the air, and he needed to pull

611
00:26:14,720 --> 00:26:15,760
Speaker 3: the ball in the air.

612
00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:16,600
Speaker 2: But again he.

613
00:26:16,560 --> 00:26:19,080
Speaker 3: Did all of this with really poor results. He had

614
00:26:19,200 --> 00:26:22,800
Speaker 3: monster counting stats. So I think Dylan Cruz, we are

615
00:26:22,800 --> 00:26:24,840
Speaker 3: in like a post hype world where people are just

616
00:26:24,920 --> 00:26:27,920
Speaker 3: kind of out and they're just not interested in him anymore.

617
00:26:28,280 --> 00:26:31,240
Speaker 3: And I think, you know, there's still solid zone contact.

618
00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:33,560
Speaker 3: He's a little like James Wood and that it's like

619
00:26:33,600 --> 00:26:35,080
Speaker 3: you wish James would would just get the ball in

620
00:26:35,119 --> 00:26:36,879
Speaker 3: the air and pull it. I think Dylan Cruz can

621
00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:38,720
Speaker 3: start doing that and be a leader at the middle

622
00:26:38,720 --> 00:26:40,520
Speaker 3: of that order. So I think Dylan Cruz is a

623
00:26:40,560 --> 00:26:42,840
Speaker 3: really good value this year and a sleeper.

624
00:26:43,320 --> 00:26:44,479
Speaker 2: I love Addison Barger.

625
00:26:44,840 --> 00:26:48,560
Speaker 3: Barger's breakout started last year twenty one homers, he hit

626
00:26:48,600 --> 00:26:51,720
Speaker 3: two forty three, stole a couple bases. This year he

627
00:26:51,720 --> 00:26:54,320
Speaker 3: should get all the opportunity while qualifying at third base

628
00:26:54,359 --> 00:26:56,760
Speaker 3: and outfield, which is really great eligibility.

629
00:26:57,280 --> 00:26:59,200
Speaker 2: I love the profile for Barger.

630
00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:03,600
Speaker 3: Barger had had an almost ninety two mile per hour

631
00:27:03,840 --> 00:27:07,119
Speaker 3: average ex velocity last year. In spring he's around ninety

632
00:27:07,160 --> 00:27:10,120
Speaker 3: three big hard hit numbers, fifty percent hard hit rate,

633
00:27:10,160 --> 00:27:11,720
Speaker 3: gets the ball in the air. He's going to get

634
00:27:11,720 --> 00:27:14,280
Speaker 3: all the opportunity all season long and maybe fill the

635
00:27:14,320 --> 00:27:17,600
Speaker 3: shoes of what Bobashett brought for that offense. And I

636
00:27:17,600 --> 00:27:20,600
Speaker 3: think Barger is just like continuously going way too late

637
00:27:20,680 --> 00:27:23,520
Speaker 3: because he's third in outfield eligible. So I think Barger

638
00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:26,520
Speaker 3: is definitely being slept on. And then the final one,

639
00:27:26,720 --> 00:27:28,800
Speaker 3: This is kind of an interesting one because he's come

640
00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:30,920
Speaker 3: up in a couple different spots, is like, hey, don't

641
00:27:30,960 --> 00:27:33,840
Speaker 3: draft this player because of this player, but we're still

642
00:27:33,880 --> 00:27:37,320
Speaker 3: just sleeping on Kerry Carpenter. Kerry Carpenter twenty six homers

643
00:27:37,400 --> 00:27:39,800
Speaker 3: last year, which definitely is not a sleepy number, hit

644
00:27:39,840 --> 00:27:43,159
Speaker 3: two fifty two, has an incredible profile. He's kind of

645
00:27:43,200 --> 00:27:45,800
Speaker 3: been thrown into the platoon stuff, but he's still like

646
00:27:45,880 --> 00:27:48,160
Speaker 3: going outside of the top one fifty. I think he's

647
00:27:48,200 --> 00:27:50,639
Speaker 3: a great piece for lineups. I think this is in

648
00:27:50,680 --> 00:27:54,080
Speaker 3: a general sense, he's a guy that is just always

649
00:27:54,080 --> 00:27:56,640
Speaker 3: being slept on. When you're hitting twenty six homers, when

650
00:27:56,640 --> 00:27:58,960
Speaker 3: you're on the precipice of being a thirty home run hitter,

651
00:27:59,040 --> 00:28:01,320
Speaker 3: no one wants you and go as a fifth outfielder.

652
00:28:01,680 --> 00:28:03,840
Speaker 3: That's what I love about him. So I think, you know,

653
00:28:03,920 --> 00:28:06,000
Speaker 3: these guys are all being slept on to kind of

654
00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:09,080
Speaker 3: different degrees. I don't know if i'd want Cruiz, Barger

655
00:28:09,160 --> 00:28:11,760
Speaker 3: and Carpenter's moutfielders, but you know what, if I had

656
00:28:11,800 --> 00:28:14,240
Speaker 3: a five outfielder and those were three, four five, I

657
00:28:14,280 --> 00:28:16,520
Speaker 3: think I'm doing okay because I would presumably have two

658
00:28:16,520 --> 00:28:20,440
Speaker 3: great other outfielders there. So I really love Kerry Carpenter.

659
00:28:20,480 --> 00:28:22,480
Speaker 2: I think he's a big key piece at the back.

660
00:28:22,359 --> 00:28:24,879
Speaker 3: End of your lineup. But Barger, Carpenter and Dylan Cruz,

661
00:28:24,920 --> 00:28:26,480
Speaker 3: those are my all sleeper outfielders.

662
00:28:26,480 --> 00:28:29,159
Speaker 1: All right. My guys are all past two seventy in

663
00:28:29,240 --> 00:28:32,240
Speaker 1: terms of ADP. So we're going deep here for the outfield,

664
00:28:32,240 --> 00:28:33,840
Speaker 1: and we're gonna start with another guy who is just

665
00:28:33,840 --> 00:28:36,760
Speaker 1: a professional player, and it's Ryan O'Hearn now of the

666
00:28:36,800 --> 00:28:39,920
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh Pirates. So spring's been very good. He's got a

667
00:28:39,920 --> 00:28:42,480
Speaker 1: couple homers, hitting three sixty, walking as much as he

668
00:28:42,480 --> 00:28:45,760
Speaker 1: strikes out. Sure, I mean he's been mostly platoon ish

669
00:28:45,840 --> 00:28:47,720
Speaker 1: kind of in his career. But I think Ryan O'Hearn

670
00:28:47,800 --> 00:28:49,600
Speaker 1: is a steady guy. You look at the projections, they're

671
00:28:49,600 --> 00:28:52,400
Speaker 1: showing you somewhere around a seventeen to twenty home run

672
00:28:52,440 --> 00:28:55,640
Speaker 1: guy hitting around two sixty, And guess what, that's viable.

673
00:28:55,840 --> 00:28:58,400
Speaker 1: That's a viable util kind of piece in a deeper

674
00:28:58,440 --> 00:29:01,000
Speaker 1: fifteen team league, right right. Hern can help you if

675
00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:03,240
Speaker 1: you have an injury. If you end up drafting him

676
00:29:03,240 --> 00:29:05,480
Speaker 1: and you know you lose a guy at first base

677
00:29:05,480 --> 00:29:07,440
Speaker 1: for a couple of weeks. You got Ryan o'heart on

678
00:29:07,480 --> 00:29:09,680
Speaker 1: your bench. You're in a good spot. I feel like,

679
00:29:09,760 --> 00:29:11,080
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, like well, you know, if I

680
00:29:11,080 --> 00:29:12,680
Speaker 1: gotta miss two weeks of a player, I'll just rather

681
00:29:12,680 --> 00:29:14,600
Speaker 1: than spend some fab I got Ryan O'Hearn on my bench.

682
00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:17,959
Speaker 1: He's a pro, and that lineup's gotten better too. If

683
00:29:17,960 --> 00:29:21,200
Speaker 1: Brian Reynolds bounces back and Marcelo Zuna is healthy this year,

684
00:29:21,200 --> 00:29:23,240
Speaker 1: which he was not last year. The Braves knew he

685
00:29:23,280 --> 00:29:25,520
Speaker 1: wasn't they kept rolling him out there anyway. We were

686
00:29:25,520 --> 00:29:27,640
Speaker 1: all pissed that they kept doing it, but they kept

687
00:29:27,680 --> 00:29:29,880
Speaker 1: doing it because the sky was falling for Atlanta and

688
00:29:29,920 --> 00:29:32,560
Speaker 1: they were running out of bodies. But I think a

689
00:29:32,560 --> 00:29:36,560
Speaker 1: healthy Ozuna, a bounce back from Reynolds, maybe eventually you

690
00:29:36,560 --> 00:29:38,720
Speaker 1: could get Connor Griffin up there. All of a sudden,

691
00:29:38,800 --> 00:29:41,040
Speaker 1: this Pittsburgh offense is not so punch and judy anymore,

692
00:29:41,080 --> 00:29:43,080
Speaker 1: and maybe o'eo cruz will wake up a little bit too.

693
00:29:43,200 --> 00:29:46,480
Speaker 1: You never know, anything's possible. So for me, Ryan O'Hearn

694
00:29:46,520 --> 00:29:48,480
Speaker 1: is definitely one of those guys. The next guy on

695
00:29:48,520 --> 00:29:51,360
Speaker 1: my list is another guy pretty deep in this pool

696
00:29:51,440 --> 00:29:55,240
Speaker 1: a Mickey moniac at two ninety one overall Mickey Moniac.

697
00:29:55,600 --> 00:29:57,600
Speaker 1: I feel like I'm the only one that cares of

698
00:29:57,640 --> 00:30:01,000
Speaker 1: what he did last year in Colorado. I don't. I've

699
00:30:01,040 --> 00:30:03,440
Speaker 1: never been the biggest Mickey Moniac guy. In fact, when

700
00:30:03,480 --> 00:30:05,200
Speaker 1: he was taking number one overall by the Phillies when

701
00:30:05,200 --> 00:30:07,600
Speaker 1: he was a kid, I said, this is a terror.

702
00:30:07,600 --> 00:30:09,400
Speaker 1: I can't believe he's the number one. He's not the

703
00:30:09,400 --> 00:30:11,400
Speaker 1: best player in the country. There's just no way he

704
00:30:11,520 --> 00:30:13,680
Speaker 1: is when you have the whole board. And I was

705
00:30:13,760 --> 00:30:15,840
Speaker 1: right about that, but I was wrong in saying that

706
00:30:15,880 --> 00:30:17,840
Speaker 1: he would never become a useful Major leaguer because at

707
00:30:17,840 --> 00:30:21,200
Speaker 1: the age of twenty seven last year with Colorado, he

708
00:30:21,280 --> 00:30:24,400
Speaker 1: hit two seventy. He had a five hundred slugging. We

709
00:30:24,480 --> 00:30:26,400
Speaker 1: know what Colorado's gonna help to do, which is inflate

710
00:30:26,440 --> 00:30:29,120
Speaker 1: numbers artificially, and I will take that inflation. He had

711
00:30:29,120 --> 00:30:31,440
Speaker 1: an eight twenty four ops. He had twenty four homers

712
00:30:31,520 --> 00:30:34,240
Speaker 1: last year and nine steals. Wesh, if I told you

713
00:30:34,360 --> 00:30:36,640
Speaker 1: almost three hundred you can get a twenty five to

714
00:30:36,640 --> 00:30:39,920
Speaker 1: ten guy, you'd be running to take that. But nobody

715
00:30:39,920 --> 00:30:42,160
Speaker 1: wants to take him. And I understand like there's still

716
00:30:42,160 --> 00:30:44,680
Speaker 1: some work in progress going on in Colorado and who's

717
00:30:44,680 --> 00:30:46,400
Speaker 1: gonna be playing where and how that's going to shake out.

718
00:30:46,560 --> 00:30:48,760
Speaker 1: But I think Mickey Moniac did everything he could to

719
00:30:49,280 --> 00:30:51,240
Speaker 1: get to that point where he deserves that look, and

720
00:30:51,280 --> 00:30:54,080
Speaker 1: he's going to and the next one, Well, he's one

721
00:30:54,160 --> 00:30:55,960
Speaker 1: of my team Italy guys. So I didn't want to

722
00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:58,040
Speaker 1: leave without putting a Team Italy guy in here. Dominic

723
00:30:58,160 --> 00:31:01,840
Speaker 1: canzone and now you throw win the Canzoni. My dude

724
00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:07,000
Speaker 1: left handed bat here for the Seattle Mariners. Another guy

725
00:31:07,000 --> 00:31:09,920
Speaker 1: too playing in the WBC. If you look at some

726
00:31:09,960 --> 00:31:11,800
Speaker 1: of the minor league numbers, here, we're talking about a

727
00:31:11,800 --> 00:31:14,880
Speaker 1: young man who's got the size. He's a six foot kid.

728
00:31:14,920 --> 00:31:18,400
Speaker 1: He's a strong kid. Last year in the major leagues

729
00:31:18,440 --> 00:31:21,720
Speaker 1: eighty two games, he came up, hit three hundred for

730
00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:26,440
Speaker 1: eighty one slugging percent, eight forty oh ps, eleven homers

731
00:31:26,440 --> 00:31:28,920
Speaker 1: for him last year in thirty two RBI, So he

732
00:31:28,960 --> 00:31:31,000
Speaker 1: really came out and just said here we go, and

733
00:31:31,040 --> 00:31:32,920
Speaker 1: he picked up right where he left off in triple A.

734
00:31:33,520 --> 00:31:36,720
Speaker 1: But for some reason, nobody seems to care except me,

735
00:31:36,840 --> 00:31:38,840
Speaker 1: and I don't understand that Welsh like I feel like

736
00:31:38,920 --> 00:31:41,680
Speaker 1: Canzone is a three hundred and seventy fourth guy off

737
00:31:41,680 --> 00:31:44,720
Speaker 1: the board. It's just kind of absurd in deeper leagues,

738
00:31:44,760 --> 00:31:46,640
Speaker 1: like why would he take a young kid who's got talent,

739
00:31:46,840 --> 00:31:49,200
Speaker 1: who's probably gonna find his way into playing time there

740
00:31:49,840 --> 00:31:52,719
Speaker 1: on a semi regular basis with the Seattle Mariners. Do

741
00:31:52,800 --> 00:31:54,400
Speaker 1: you have an answer to that question? Because I can't

742
00:31:54,400 --> 00:31:55,200
Speaker 1: seem to figure it out.

743
00:31:55,640 --> 00:31:58,040
Speaker 3: Well, there's a platoon. There's a big old platoon that's

744
00:31:58,080 --> 00:32:00,800
Speaker 3: going on. Victor Robless has now put into platoon. They've

745
00:32:00,840 --> 00:32:03,160
Speaker 3: got Luke Raley who they like, They've got Canzone now

746
00:32:03,200 --> 00:32:06,440
Speaker 3: to his credit, he could be in the strong side platoon.

747
00:32:06,640 --> 00:32:09,000
Speaker 1: Well he works, really what you want, he's hitting the righties, Like,

748
00:32:09,040 --> 00:32:09,480
Speaker 1: I'll take that.

749
00:32:09,560 --> 00:32:12,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, It's just I don't know if Roe Bliss can

750
00:32:12,160 --> 00:32:14,360
Speaker 3: really honestly be taken out the whole time.

751
00:32:14,400 --> 00:32:15,960
Speaker 2: But they've got two spots between it.

752
00:32:15,960 --> 00:32:17,880
Speaker 3: But they got three or four guys that they're platooning,

753
00:32:17,920 --> 00:32:19,520
Speaker 3: So I think that's probably the problem.

754
00:32:19,640 --> 00:32:21,840
Speaker 1: And it's a Hearn's problem too to a certain extent too.

755
00:32:21,920 --> 00:32:24,520
Speaker 1: But like to me, a guy just keeps producing and

756
00:32:24,520 --> 00:32:27,160
Speaker 1: he's hot. Platoons be damned. At a certain point you

757
00:32:27,280 --> 00:32:29,360
Speaker 1: let the kid kind of especially because he's young. It's

758
00:32:29,360 --> 00:32:32,320
Speaker 1: more with Canzone than O'Hearn, because Canzone, to me, is

759
00:32:32,360 --> 00:32:34,160
Speaker 1: the guy that you look at it and say, well,

760
00:32:34,200 --> 00:32:36,560
Speaker 1: let's see what he can do. Let's challenge him a

761
00:32:36,600 --> 00:32:38,520
Speaker 1: little bit. And Rictor Roeblesz, I think we know at

762
00:32:38,520 --> 00:32:40,800
Speaker 1: this point what he is. And if the Mariners have

763
00:32:40,840 --> 00:32:43,360
Speaker 1: a young you know, another young stud here coming up

764
00:32:43,360 --> 00:32:45,360
Speaker 1: through the system, then that's very important. All right. Before

765
00:32:45,360 --> 00:32:46,760
Speaker 1: we get to the pictures on our list, and I

766
00:32:46,800 --> 00:32:49,600

Speaker 1: New Jersey, Ohio, Tennessee, Virginia. All right, Welsh, give me

793
00:33:56,040 --> 00:34:00,280
Speaker 1: those threes sps, because I believe it or not. We

794
00:34:00,320 --> 00:34:02,760
Speaker 1: have another overlap here I just realized it. Oh baby,

795
00:34:03,040 --> 00:34:05,000
Speaker 1: look at us, seeing eye to eye so early in

796
00:34:05,000 --> 00:34:06,960
Speaker 1: the season. That can't be good. Can't be good?

797
00:34:07,000 --> 00:34:10,000
Speaker 3: Well, I mean the guy you have has been absolutely

798
00:34:10,040 --> 00:34:13,000
Speaker 3: attached to me. These three pitchers I haven't shut up about.

799
00:34:13,320 --> 00:34:16,399
Speaker 3: If he wanted to call this the all Draft Welsh team.

800
00:34:16,440 --> 00:34:19,560
Speaker 3: These guys are probably on the back to at least

801
00:34:19,600 --> 00:34:21,239
Speaker 3: two of the three are going to be on every

802
00:34:21,280 --> 00:34:23,920
Speaker 3: single team that I put together here. And number one

803
00:34:23,960 --> 00:34:26,920
Speaker 3: is Bubba Chandler. I know we're not sleeping necessarily on

804
00:34:26,960 --> 00:34:30,200
Speaker 3: the name. He is in that weird, you know clump

805
00:34:30,200 --> 00:34:33,200
Speaker 3: of all those really great young pitchers, but as I've

806
00:34:33,200 --> 00:34:35,719
Speaker 3: said the all offseason, and it's kind of continued, he's

807
00:34:35,800 --> 00:34:37,880
Speaker 3: the last of them, and he might be one of

808
00:34:37,920 --> 00:34:41,399
Speaker 3: the best of them. Bubba Chandler dominated when he came

809
00:34:41,480 --> 00:34:43,880
Speaker 3: up in relief. He had his one blip as a starter,

810
00:34:44,239 --> 00:34:48,280
Speaker 3: and then after that first start he really re established himself.

811
00:34:48,280 --> 00:34:50,600
Speaker 3: And you know, it's kind of the same talking points. Unfortunately,

812
00:34:50,640 --> 00:34:52,600
Speaker 3: I've said a lot like he spent the off season

813
00:34:52,680 --> 00:34:55,880
Speaker 3: with Paul Skens. He's got a monster power fastball, His

814
00:34:56,000 --> 00:34:57,759
Speaker 3: slider is going to do a ton of work for

815
00:34:57,840 --> 00:34:59,840
Speaker 3: him this year and he's going to get significant innings.

816
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:02,080
Speaker 3: So for him to be a guy that is still

817
00:35:02,120 --> 00:35:05,480
Speaker 3: going outside the top one fifty, it's surprising. We're in

818
00:35:05,520 --> 00:35:09,320
Speaker 3: this weird space where people aren't crazy excited about rookies.

819
00:35:09,360 --> 00:35:11,160
Speaker 2: It's all pitchers, but it's just not him.

820
00:35:11,520 --> 00:35:15,759
Speaker 3: So Bubba Chandler has been, you know, since December or November,

821
00:35:15,920 --> 00:35:17,160
Speaker 3: one of my top sleepers.

822
00:35:17,640 --> 00:35:18,120
Speaker 2: Number two.

823
00:35:18,200 --> 00:35:20,799
Speaker 3: The other guy, this is a name, but people were

824
00:35:20,880 --> 00:35:22,759
Speaker 3: out on until he signed with the team. And guess what,

825
00:35:23,520 --> 00:35:24,480
Speaker 3: they're still out on him.

826
00:35:24,520 --> 00:35:26,120
Speaker 2: Zach Gallen. Zach Gallen.

827
00:35:26,239 --> 00:35:29,520
Speaker 3: I am one hundred percent putting my faith into the

828
00:35:29,560 --> 00:35:32,760
Speaker 3: August first version of Zach Allen because I was screaming

829
00:35:32,760 --> 00:35:34,480
Speaker 3: about him all year last year after I was at

830
00:35:34,560 --> 00:35:36,960
Speaker 3: Opening Day and he looked awful and I wouldn't shut

831
00:35:37,040 --> 00:35:40,359
Speaker 3: up about it. But August first on he became Gallon again.

832
00:35:40,440 --> 00:35:43,600
Speaker 3: He became the old Zach Gallen. You know what's really promising.

833
00:35:44,000 --> 00:35:46,120
Speaker 3: Once he re signed with the Diamondbacks, he came back.

834
00:35:46,400 --> 00:35:49,040
Speaker 3: His velo is up and it's something that a lot

835
00:35:49,080 --> 00:35:50,960
Speaker 3: of people have been tracking of what his vilos look

836
00:35:51,040 --> 00:35:53,040
Speaker 3: like in spring the last couple of years. It's up

837
00:35:53,080 --> 00:35:55,680
Speaker 3: over ninety four right now, That's a great sign because

838
00:35:55,719 --> 00:35:58,560
Speaker 3: that fastball is going to set up him being able

839
00:35:58,600 --> 00:36:00,640
Speaker 3: to go to the change up and curve, which make

840
00:36:00,719 --> 00:36:02,920
Speaker 3: him great, and he goes deep into games. He is

841
00:36:03,000 --> 00:36:07,160
Speaker 3: going still super late SP six or something like that.

842
00:36:07,480 --> 00:36:10,160
Speaker 3: You and I think he's got way more upside. And

843
00:36:10,200 --> 00:36:13,000
Speaker 3: then finally, the player that we share that I've talked

844
00:36:13,000 --> 00:36:15,080
Speaker 3: about that I think he is the guy you need

845
00:36:15,120 --> 00:36:16,799
Speaker 3: to take at the end of every single draft just

846
00:36:16,800 --> 00:36:19,600
Speaker 3: to see if it works. It's Cody Ponce. The KBO MVP.

847
00:36:20,120 --> 00:36:23,160
Speaker 3: Cody Ponce is out here. He's got this reworked kick

848
00:36:23,320 --> 00:36:26,400
Speaker 3: change up. His fastball VL is up from his last

849
00:36:26,440 --> 00:36:28,839
Speaker 3: major league stint up two to three miles per hour.

850
00:36:29,440 --> 00:36:31,400
Speaker 2: He looks good. I think he's gonna do some whiffs.

851
00:36:31,400 --> 00:36:33,560
Speaker 3: I don't think he's like, you know, a top twenty

852
00:36:33,840 --> 00:36:36,920
Speaker 3: SP but I think he is well worth what you

853
00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:39,080
Speaker 3: usually take at the end. He's a pitcher that you

854
00:36:39,160 --> 00:36:41,319
Speaker 3: draft that you usually draft and you're like, all right,

855
00:36:41,360 --> 00:36:43,960
Speaker 3: I'm gonna make this a streaming spot. I think Cody

856
00:36:43,960 --> 00:36:46,720
Speaker 3: Ponce can be an SP five or six. So Cody

857
00:36:46,719 --> 00:36:49,440
Speaker 3: pont Zach Gallin, Bubba Chandler, my Ale sleeper starters.

858
00:36:49,560 --> 00:36:50,839
Speaker 1: The other thing I would throw in there at Cody

859
00:36:50,840 --> 00:36:53,520
Speaker 1: Ponce when you have those leagues where you have mandatory rps,

860
00:36:53,880 --> 00:36:55,680
Speaker 1: so two he qualifies at RP.

861
00:36:56,000 --> 00:36:58,000
Speaker 2: Yeah if he's a spark, Yeah, he's definitely.

862
00:36:57,680 --> 00:37:00,360
Speaker 1: He's a spark. Like that's that's really important, pecially the

863
00:37:00,360 --> 00:37:01,880
Speaker 1: beginning of the year for people like me who like

864
00:37:01,880 --> 00:37:04,120
Speaker 1: to fade closers. I love having a guy like Cody

865
00:37:04,120 --> 00:37:05,560
Speaker 1: Ponds because I know he will show up once a

866
00:37:05,560 --> 00:37:08,240
Speaker 1: week possibly here for me and give me some points

867
00:37:08,320 --> 00:37:10,640
Speaker 1: or give me some some totals, right, and put some

868
00:37:10,680 --> 00:37:13,440
Speaker 1: stats in the in the board for me, and over

869
00:37:13,520 --> 00:37:15,960
Speaker 1: time then I can find relievers as guys get hurt

870
00:37:16,120 --> 00:37:18,040
Speaker 1: or you know, guys was their job and I'll find

871
00:37:18,040 --> 00:37:20,200
Speaker 1: other relievers. But when you have those mandatory spots and

872
00:37:20,200 --> 00:37:21,279
Speaker 1: all of a sudden you miss out on a run

873
00:37:21,400 --> 00:37:23,000
Speaker 1: or two, it happened and draft for me last night,

874
00:37:23,440 --> 00:37:26,400
Speaker 1: I had Cody Ponce pivot right, Joey Cantillo pivot like

875
00:37:26,480 --> 00:37:27,680
Speaker 1: that's those are the kind of guys.

876
00:37:28,160 --> 00:37:30,759
Speaker 3: Ryan Nelson, I wasson you.

877
00:37:31,000 --> 00:37:32,839
Speaker 1: Get yeah, like, there's a couple of those guys out there.

878
00:37:32,880 --> 00:37:35,920
Speaker 1: You should circle because when you have the mandatory rps,

879
00:37:35,960 --> 00:37:38,239
Speaker 1: it's a little different. Universal work running through depending on

880
00:37:38,280 --> 00:37:38,560
Speaker 1: the depth.

881
00:37:38,600 --> 00:37:42,760
Speaker 3: Then, by the way, sparp is starting picture as relief picture.

882
00:37:42,800 --> 00:37:45,000
Speaker 3: If people are like, what the hell are you talking about? Like,

883
00:37:45,120 --> 00:37:46,359
Speaker 3: you know, the weird acronym name.

884
00:37:46,480 --> 00:37:48,120
Speaker 1: So I was hoping people would just go to the

885
00:37:48,120 --> 00:37:50,040
Speaker 1: internet and start googling it and see what came up.

886
00:37:50,080 --> 00:37:53,160
Speaker 1: But whatever, that's fine. So Cody Ponce we agree on

887
00:37:53,280 --> 00:37:55,160
Speaker 1: so I won't labor that. I just wanted to add

888
00:37:55,160 --> 00:37:57,279
Speaker 1: that piece on him. The other two guys for me,

889
00:37:57,480 --> 00:38:00,239
Speaker 1: one is a veteran here and it's Aaron Nola. It's

890
00:38:00,640 --> 00:38:02,239
Speaker 1: a good year in a bad year, and a good

891
00:38:02,280 --> 00:38:03,360
Speaker 1: year in a bad year, and a good year in

892
00:38:03,360 --> 00:38:04,520
Speaker 1: a bad year and a good year in bad year.

893
00:38:04,560 --> 00:38:06,120
Speaker 1: That's a beautiful thing about Arnola. You could set your

894
00:38:06,160 --> 00:38:08,640
Speaker 1: watch to him. And the one thing Aronola ever does

895
00:38:08,680 --> 00:38:11,239
Speaker 1: every single year, though, is he makes thirty starts. And

896
00:38:11,280 --> 00:38:13,759
Speaker 1: I think that matters. I pitch very well for Team

897
00:38:13,760 --> 00:38:15,759
Speaker 1: Italy the other day too. Just want to throw that

898
00:38:15,840 --> 00:38:18,080
Speaker 1: out there. He's a pro. He had a bad year,

899
00:38:18,280 --> 00:38:21,520
Speaker 1: He's had bad stretches. And you watch even Aaronola in

900
00:38:21,560 --> 00:38:23,880
Speaker 1: the good seasons, there's always like a run of a

901
00:38:23,920 --> 00:38:25,560
Speaker 1: month or a run of a couple of starts where

902
00:38:25,560 --> 00:38:28,120
Speaker 1: he looks bad. It's just there was too much of

903
00:38:28,120 --> 00:38:30,480
Speaker 1: that last year. And I think that Aaron Nola just

904
00:38:30,480 --> 00:38:33,560
Speaker 1: corrects himself because Aaron Nola is a professional, and Aeronold's

905
00:38:33,600 --> 00:38:35,719
Speaker 1: been doing this a very long time, and I think

906
00:38:35,719 --> 00:38:37,920
Speaker 1: he's probably very dissatisfied with last year. And the good

907
00:38:37,920 --> 00:38:40,719
Speaker 1: thing about Aaron Nola is when he has the bad year,

908
00:38:40,760 --> 00:38:43,479
Speaker 1: he's always cheaper than next year. So if I'm looking

909
00:38:43,520 --> 00:38:46,400
Speaker 1: here for some bench pitching, and I'm looking at these guys,

910
00:38:46,480 --> 00:38:48,560
Speaker 1: these young kids who are gonna have nings limits, I

911
00:38:48,640 --> 00:38:51,040
Speaker 1: look at these guys, were unproven, guys were coming back

912
00:38:51,040 --> 00:38:53,440
Speaker 1: from injuries. I don't have to worry about any of that.

913
00:38:53,480 --> 00:38:55,560
Speaker 1: What Aaron Nola always got to do is get back

914
00:38:55,560 --> 00:38:59,080
Speaker 1: to being league average to better than league average. And

915
00:38:59,080 --> 00:39:02,120
Speaker 1: we already know when he's going well, he's an asset.

916
00:39:02,680 --> 00:39:04,680
Speaker 1: He could be an SP two at times in terms

917
00:39:04,680 --> 00:39:06,959
Speaker 1: of performance level for you for a runner two a year,

918
00:39:07,360 --> 00:39:09,520
Speaker 1: but we also know it can be bad. You're getting

919
00:39:09,560 --> 00:39:12,360
Speaker 1: a discount, you take the discount. To me, it's gone again,

920
00:39:12,560 --> 00:39:15,480
Speaker 1: far too far to the other way, far too much

921
00:39:15,480 --> 00:39:17,200
Speaker 1: to the negative. Like some of these other guys we've

922
00:39:17,200 --> 00:39:20,960
Speaker 1: talked about where he becomes a worthwhile investment and the

923
00:39:21,000 --> 00:39:23,080
Speaker 1: last selection of the show is going to shock a

924
00:39:23,120 --> 00:39:25,960
Speaker 1: lot of people here. But I don't think he is.

925
00:39:26,600 --> 00:39:30,279
Speaker 1: I do not think that this picture is worse than

926
00:39:30,320 --> 00:39:34,040
Speaker 1: the outside the top seventy starting pitchers, and right now

927
00:39:34,040 --> 00:39:37,799
Speaker 1: that's where he's being drafted, outside the top seventy. He

928
00:39:37,880 --> 00:39:41,919
Speaker 1: has a rotation spot, he has some strikeout ability. Dare

929
00:39:41,920 --> 00:39:43,959
Speaker 1: I say he might even have some pedigree. He also

930
00:39:43,960 --> 00:39:45,759
Speaker 1: had a heck of a college careers. Everybody loves to

931
00:39:45,760 --> 00:39:48,080
Speaker 1: point out to me. Now, last year, the ERA was

932
00:39:48,120 --> 00:39:52,000
Speaker 1: better than the expected, THERA was better than the FIP.

933
00:39:52,320 --> 00:39:54,840
Speaker 1: All those are still warning signs for me. Some of

934
00:39:54,840 --> 00:39:57,480
Speaker 1: the inefficiencies with the walks still bother me a little bit.

935
00:39:58,719 --> 00:40:02,880
Speaker 1: But Jack Lyder is not I repeat, not outside of

936
00:40:02,920 --> 00:40:06,720
Speaker 1: the top seventy starting pitchers. I think that's stupid. Okay,

937
00:40:07,040 --> 00:40:09,799
Speaker 1: So to whether I love a player or not, I'm

938
00:40:09,800 --> 00:40:13,960
Speaker 1: a businessman. This is about business for me. So Jack,

939
00:40:14,160 --> 00:40:17,000
Speaker 1: you and I could be friends this year at this ADP.

940
00:40:17,480 --> 00:40:20,480
Speaker 1: We're cool. Bro. You and me will go hang out

941
00:40:20,480 --> 00:40:23,120
Speaker 1: on your dad's boat, maybe do some fishing. Well, you

942
00:40:23,160 --> 00:40:24,799
Speaker 1: could do some fishing. I really don't like to fish.

943
00:40:24,800 --> 00:40:26,600
Speaker 1: I'll just sit there and have a beer and hang out.

944
00:40:27,000 --> 00:40:29,840
Speaker 1: But I'm telling you right now, I think, once again,

945
00:40:30,239 --> 00:40:33,200
Speaker 1: it's not valued enough. The fact that he's in this rotation,

946
00:40:33,760 --> 00:40:35,239
Speaker 1: the fact that I don't think he's got to worry

947
00:40:35,239 --> 00:40:37,120
Speaker 1: about his spot this year and he's gonna have a

948
00:40:37,120 --> 00:40:40,720
Speaker 1: regular offseason into being a major league pitcher, as opposed

949
00:40:40,760 --> 00:40:42,640
Speaker 1: to wondering where am I starting? Am I a minor

950
00:40:42,719 --> 00:40:44,480
Speaker 1: league or my major league? I think that takes a

951
00:40:44,520 --> 00:40:47,080
Speaker 1: toll on a guy too. So despite all the things

952
00:40:47,120 --> 00:40:48,920
Speaker 1: that I still think are warning signs where I don't

953
00:40:48,920 --> 00:40:51,800
Speaker 1: think he's the top fifty guy, He's not the seventy

954
00:40:51,880 --> 00:40:54,520
Speaker 1: fifth best pitcher either on the board. Welsh has this

955
00:40:54,560 --> 00:40:56,920
Speaker 1: shot you are you okay or are you gonna make

956
00:40:56,920 --> 00:40:58,399
Speaker 1: it through the rest of the show, Like where are

957
00:40:58,400 --> 00:40:59,200
Speaker 1: you right now?

958
00:40:59,200 --> 00:41:03,040
Speaker 3: Mentally, I mean, this is hilarious. This is I don't

959
00:41:03,040 --> 00:41:05,360
Speaker 3: even know what this bit is. This, This is you

960
00:41:05,440 --> 00:41:09,160
Speaker 3: getting digging yourself out of the jackney, which I appreciate.

961
00:41:09,280 --> 00:41:11,400
Speaker 1: This is me being a business man. It's not personally. See,

962
00:41:11,600 --> 00:41:14,200
Speaker 1: personal is one thing, but eventually, if you say, like, hey,

963
00:41:14,280 --> 00:41:17,000
Speaker 1: this is such a value, I'm not gonna thumb my

964
00:41:17,120 --> 00:41:20,720
Speaker 1: nose or turn thumb my nose. Did I just welsh

965
00:41:20,719 --> 00:41:23,080
Speaker 1: as them myself, turn my nose up, thumb my nose.

966
00:41:23,160 --> 00:41:24,040
Speaker 1: I think they're the same.

967
00:41:24,440 --> 00:41:25,759
Speaker 2: I'm not going to do it on your nose.

968
00:41:25,880 --> 00:41:28,759
Speaker 3: But but you were the one that was on here

969
00:41:28,800 --> 00:41:31,760
Speaker 3: being like, he's not he shouldn't be in the major leagues.

970
00:41:31,800 --> 00:41:34,520
Speaker 3: He's not worth being a pitcher. He's only there because

971
00:41:34,520 --> 00:41:34,839
Speaker 3: he's next.

972
00:41:35,080 --> 00:41:37,440
Speaker 1: That was two years ago when I was when they

973
00:41:37,480 --> 00:41:39,160
Speaker 1: brought him up and he got his ass kicked around.

974
00:41:39,239 --> 00:41:41,400
Speaker 1: I was right. That was two years I loved it.

975
00:41:41,520 --> 00:41:44,640
Speaker 1: And then last year it was okay, show me now

976
00:41:44,640 --> 00:41:46,560
Speaker 1: that you belong. Two years ago I told you he

977
00:41:46,560 --> 00:41:48,759
Speaker 1: didn't belong. I was right. Last year, I said, show

978
00:41:48,800 --> 00:41:50,640
Speaker 1: me you belong. And it was up and down. Let's

979
00:41:50,680 --> 00:41:53,359
Speaker 1: be honest, it was up and down. There's him up.

980
00:41:53,520 --> 00:41:57,279
Speaker 1: I love it. This year, you draft him because he's cheap.

981
00:41:57,520 --> 00:41:59,960
Speaker 1: That's what you do, and you go win leagues because

982
00:42:00,040 --> 00:42:02,640
Speaker 1: we're about winning here, all right. This is very godfather
