0:00:39.440 --> 0:00:58.640
<v Speaker 1>I'm going for you, true Mariano. Yeah, this is the

0:00:58.840 --> 0:01:02.960
<v Speaker 1>Fantasy as Friends Forever. Here the Fantasy Sports Radio Network

0:01:03.000 --> 0:01:06.840
<v Speaker 1>alongside for Frankie Stanfeld, I am Greg salesman. Franky, what's

0:01:06.840 --> 0:01:09.040
<v Speaker 1>going on about Greggy? I had to do my best

0:01:09.080 --> 0:01:14.880
<v Speaker 1>Gym Day impersonation coming in today, obviously, had the Metallica?

0:01:15.400 --> 0:01:19.800
<v Speaker 1>Had the Metallica going to represent Marianna rivera first unanimous

0:01:19.840 --> 0:01:23.120
<v Speaker 1>Hall of Famer obviously going to be a very polarizing

0:01:23.160 --> 0:01:26.880
<v Speaker 1>topic on Twitter, some people debating um that he should

0:01:26.920 --> 0:01:29.520
<v Speaker 1>not be the first unanimous Hall of Famer because he's

0:01:29.560 --> 0:01:32.440
<v Speaker 1>a closer. Everyone has their thoughts that on and so forth.

0:01:32.560 --> 0:01:35.120
<v Speaker 1>Doesn't matter. He's the best closer of all time. He's

0:01:35.120 --> 0:01:37.560
<v Speaker 1>in the Hall of Fame and rightfully so, so I

0:01:37.560 --> 0:01:39.720
<v Speaker 1>thought we would celebrate that with a little intro. Greggy,

0:01:39.760 --> 0:01:42.279
<v Speaker 1>I love how it's what I'm talking about the Yankees yesterday.

0:01:42.319 --> 0:01:43.800
<v Speaker 1>I started off the show like, oh, of course Greg

0:01:43.800 --> 0:01:46.319
<v Speaker 1>talked about the Yankees, and there's Frank putting an intro

0:01:46.480 --> 0:01:50.960
<v Speaker 1>in not only wearing folks a Yankees Bernie Williams jersey,

0:01:51.080 --> 0:01:52.440
<v Speaker 1>but you can also take a look at his pinch

0:01:52.440 --> 0:01:56.360
<v Speaker 1>stripe socks and then he's put on with the blue

0:01:56.440 --> 0:01:59.280
<v Speaker 1>with the matching sneakers. Of course, that's right. There you go,

0:02:00.480 --> 0:02:03.360
<v Speaker 1>There you go. I was draft in fantasy Baseball based

0:02:03.400 --> 0:02:05.240
<v Speaker 1>on whether you're Yankee or not. Greg, I was about

0:02:05.240 --> 0:02:07.480
<v Speaker 1>to get excited about Marianna Rivera, Megan the whole face

0:02:07.520 --> 0:02:11.560
<v Speaker 1>I was pumped from. I was pumped um that it

0:02:11.680 --> 0:02:13.959
<v Speaker 1>mattered to him so much to be the unanimous, which

0:02:13.960 --> 0:02:16.720
<v Speaker 1>was really cool. Seeing Martino's video, which we probably should play,

0:02:16.760 --> 0:02:19.120
<v Speaker 1>by the way, did you ever cut that for us? No?

0:02:19.200 --> 0:02:20.480
<v Speaker 1>I thought you guys were gonna use it on the

0:02:20.520 --> 0:02:22.040
<v Speaker 1>morning after. Yeah, we need you to cut it to

0:02:22.080 --> 0:02:24.520
<v Speaker 1>make that happen, But he didn't remind me. I was

0:02:24.560 --> 0:02:27.520
<v Speaker 1>here for two hours. Never brought it up, thought you

0:02:27.520 --> 0:02:33.520
<v Speaker 1>did it. Nope, alright, it happens, man, it's a miscommunication

0:02:33.520 --> 0:02:36.160
<v Speaker 1>on our part. Yeah, Martino was there. You've seen the

0:02:36.200 --> 0:02:38.440
<v Speaker 1>video on Twitter. It's from Martino. It's like if you

0:02:38.480 --> 0:02:41.360
<v Speaker 1>see my reaction to Mariano getting the call, that's from

0:02:41.400 --> 0:02:45.120
<v Speaker 1>our guy Martino, video producer here at the Fantasy Sports Network.

0:02:45.120 --> 0:02:47.480
<v Speaker 1>He helps out, helps out with the morning show a lot,

0:02:47.520 --> 0:02:51.440
<v Speaker 1>obviously helps you out within the NBA in the morning. Um,

0:02:51.520 --> 0:02:53.880
<v Speaker 1>and yeah, he was there to our film Marianna. He

0:02:53.960 --> 0:02:56.679
<v Speaker 1>was our executi producer of College Football Today all season long.

0:02:57.000 --> 0:02:59.960
<v Speaker 1>So yeah, Martino, Um, Alex, when are you in your

0:03:00.040 --> 0:03:04.000
<v Speaker 1>doing Roger Clemens or something? Good? Back to you on that,

0:03:04.040 --> 0:03:06.360
<v Speaker 1>All right, appreciate it. But Roger Clemens, who's not in

0:03:06.360 --> 0:03:08.400
<v Speaker 1>the whole of fame greg and never will be because

0:03:08.400 --> 0:03:11.440
<v Speaker 1>he was a certainly seems it certainly seems to be

0:03:11.440 --> 0:03:17.560
<v Speaker 1>the case at least four now, uh, Jeff like slow

0:03:17.680 --> 0:03:20.320
<v Speaker 1>like incrementally, So they didn't. That was the problem. So

0:03:20.360 --> 0:03:23.639
<v Speaker 1>based on the based on how slowly they're building, right,

0:03:23.880 --> 0:03:25.320
<v Speaker 1>I think, what do they have left? Like three years?

0:03:25.440 --> 0:03:27.959
<v Speaker 1>They each they have three years left. But there was

0:03:28.000 --> 0:03:29.600
<v Speaker 1>no jump from last year to this year, there wasn't

0:03:29.600 --> 0:03:33.880
<v Speaker 1>like an increase, like it wasn't drastic enough. Yeah, and

0:03:34.200 --> 0:03:36.800
<v Speaker 1>only moves two or three percent. Basically, everybody that like

0:03:37.080 --> 0:03:38.960
<v Speaker 1>you read like all like the John Hayleans that can

0:03:39.040 --> 0:03:41.920
<v Speaker 1>Rosenthals and so on and so forth. Um, they're on

0:03:42.000 --> 0:03:44.440
<v Speaker 1>those ballots. It's all the private people like their boots

0:03:44.480 --> 0:03:47.320
<v Speaker 1>private that do not vote for them. And Jefferson interviewed

0:03:47.600 --> 0:03:51.920
<v Speaker 1>fifteen of them, um and basically they all said, we're

0:03:51.960 --> 0:03:54.040
<v Speaker 1>not even will never change our mind. You cannot get us,

0:03:54.720 --> 0:03:57.040
<v Speaker 1>and it's gonna be very, very tough, unfortunately. Never like

0:03:57.120 --> 0:03:59.600
<v Speaker 1>the eighty year old guys who are like, well, I mean,

0:03:59.720 --> 0:04:01.720
<v Speaker 1>Sarah don't get home steries are a little bit different

0:04:01.720 --> 0:04:03.120
<v Speaker 1>like that. They weren't like to get off my long

0:04:03.160 --> 0:04:04.840
<v Speaker 1>guys over there, I'm not going to vote for Marion

0:04:04.960 --> 0:04:06.880
<v Speaker 1>Rivera's I'm not even Who are the people who are

0:04:06.880 --> 0:04:11.920
<v Speaker 1>not voting for steroid abusers those times? Yes, it's the

0:04:11.960 --> 0:04:14.560
<v Speaker 1>old guys, And it's just as certain people that don't

0:04:14.560 --> 0:04:18.360
<v Speaker 1>believe steroid abusers should get in. I don't hate that

0:04:18.400 --> 0:04:20.600
<v Speaker 1>logic as so much as I hate like the guy

0:04:20.640 --> 0:04:22.480
<v Speaker 1>didn't want to vote for Mariana like that was just stupid.

0:04:22.600 --> 0:04:24.080
<v Speaker 1>So then why is Bud See in the Hall Fame?

0:04:24.960 --> 0:04:29.760
<v Speaker 1>I agree, you can't have one without the other, do

0:04:29.800 --> 0:04:32.960
<v Speaker 1>you know, with you like he you know, oh, closed

0:04:32.960 --> 0:04:34.760
<v Speaker 1>an eye to what was going on in baseball, but

0:04:34.800 --> 0:04:38.640
<v Speaker 1>it also drove to like the best ratings television rates,

0:04:38.680 --> 0:04:40.880
<v Speaker 1>Like look at where television ratings are now with baseball.

0:04:41.000 --> 0:04:43.560
<v Speaker 1>Nobody wants to watch baseball, butbody also talk about baseball.

0:04:44.200 --> 0:04:46.159
<v Speaker 1>But during that time, as as you can spend the

0:04:46.160 --> 0:04:48.400
<v Speaker 1>next day talk about in the nineties, in the early

0:04:48.400 --> 0:04:51.159
<v Speaker 1>two thousand's, that's when I mean you could argue baseball

0:04:51.200 --> 0:04:57.880
<v Speaker 1>was at its peak, right dig long ball everybody like

0:04:57.920 --> 0:04:59.880
<v Speaker 1>everybody likes all wrong except for except for the do

0:05:00.160 --> 0:05:02.520
<v Speaker 1>was that have these Hall of Fame ballots? Apparently, Well,

0:05:02.839 --> 0:05:04.800
<v Speaker 1>it wasn't about the home runs rank. It's about the

0:05:04.800 --> 0:05:08.800
<v Speaker 1>way they achieved that. Okay, But Barry Bonds was still

0:05:08.880 --> 0:05:11.440
<v Speaker 1>one of the best baseball players, even when like you

0:05:11.480 --> 0:05:14.440
<v Speaker 1>can find like you can find the time in his

0:05:14.640 --> 0:05:17.920
<v Speaker 1>long timeline of like NL career when he started using steroids,

0:05:18.000 --> 0:05:19.919
<v Speaker 1>even up until that point, if you just kind of

0:05:19.960 --> 0:05:23.560
<v Speaker 1>take what he was doing and extrapolate it, he's still

0:05:23.600 --> 0:05:27.920
<v Speaker 1>a Hall of Famer. Absolutely and that's why he continues

0:05:27.960 --> 0:05:30.040
<v Speaker 1>to get votes. All his head was like three times

0:05:30.040 --> 0:05:32.400
<v Speaker 1>bigger than it wasn't that that's why he continues to

0:05:32.400 --> 0:05:34.320
<v Speaker 1>get votes. To Roger Clemens contin used to get votes

0:05:34.360 --> 0:05:38.120
<v Speaker 1>and Sammy Sosa does not. Sammy Sosa's numbers are ridiculous.

0:05:38.440 --> 0:05:40.159
<v Speaker 1>But they think that if you took the stories away

0:05:40.160 --> 0:05:42.920
<v Speaker 1>from Sammy Sosa, he would be terrible. What Sammy Sosa

0:05:43.000 --> 0:05:45.440
<v Speaker 1>was like every trick in the book, right, didn you

0:05:45.480 --> 0:05:47.760
<v Speaker 1>have like the cork bat and like everything else you

0:05:47.760 --> 0:05:51.160
<v Speaker 1>could think of? Absolutely, Manny Ramirez felt multiple tests. I

0:05:51.400 --> 0:05:53.919
<v Speaker 1>actually wrote an article about this, not an article, I

0:05:53.960 --> 0:05:57.440
<v Speaker 1>wrote um an essay about this in College Greg which

0:05:57.480 --> 0:06:00.839
<v Speaker 1>which really grinded my gears about like a logic with

0:06:00.920 --> 0:06:02.840
<v Speaker 1>the Baseball Hall of Fame and kind of like how

0:06:03.440 --> 0:06:07.360
<v Speaker 1>um P E. D s and steroids are like the

0:06:07.360 --> 0:06:09.240
<v Speaker 1>worst thing that ever happened. What about the guys who

0:06:09.240 --> 0:06:11.320
<v Speaker 1>were using like amphetamines in the sixth season in the

0:06:11.360 --> 0:06:15.200
<v Speaker 1>seventies and like, you know, absolutely they're they're not to

0:06:15.240 --> 0:06:18.480
<v Speaker 1>the same level performance and hnting drugs at the at

0:06:18.520 --> 0:06:23.680
<v Speaker 1>the time, performance and dancing drugs. These guys put amphetamines

0:06:23.720 --> 0:06:27.240
<v Speaker 1>in their coffee every morning, in the clubhouse in order

0:06:27.240 --> 0:06:28.880
<v Speaker 1>to wake up, to get a joke for the day,

0:06:28.920 --> 0:06:30.880
<v Speaker 1>to get to get hyped up for their baseball game.

0:06:31.680 --> 0:06:34.279
<v Speaker 1>You're using performance and hancing drugs as well. It's just like,

0:06:34.320 --> 0:06:36.240
<v Speaker 1>come on, dude's preaching the choir man like, I'm on

0:06:36.279 --> 0:06:39.280
<v Speaker 1>your side here. I need to get it off. Okay.

0:06:39.720 --> 0:06:42.240
<v Speaker 1>We never really talked about it. I understand, I understand,

0:06:42.240 --> 0:06:44.640
<v Speaker 1>but it just pisses me off. Dot Holiday gets in

0:06:44.839 --> 0:06:48.599
<v Speaker 1>as Della's, Edgar Martinez, and Mike Messina all of them

0:06:48.720 --> 0:06:51.719
<v Speaker 1>get into the Hall of Fame this year. Very nice class.

0:06:51.760 --> 0:06:54.120
<v Speaker 1>Next year's class we be interesting. Derek Teter the only

0:06:54.160 --> 0:06:56.640
<v Speaker 1>big name that is joining the ballot put machine in

0:06:56.680 --> 0:07:00.880
<v Speaker 1>the Hall of Fame and not Roger Clemens. Do done, Brake,

0:07:01.040 --> 0:07:04.279
<v Speaker 1>Sure you go? Sure we've seen is going in as

0:07:04.279 --> 0:07:08.560
<v Speaker 1>an oriole Right? Is that was that announced? I'm not officially,

0:07:08.880 --> 0:07:11.440
<v Speaker 1>I don't think. But when I saw them like tweet

0:07:11.440 --> 0:07:13.480
<v Speaker 1>out the photos of like the players in their jerseys,

0:07:13.760 --> 0:07:16.560
<v Speaker 1>it was Messina in Orioles alright, kind of assumed, so

0:07:16.640 --> 0:07:19.880
<v Speaker 1>I would assume him too, And I'm okay, and I'm okay,

0:07:19.920 --> 0:07:22.480
<v Speaker 1>and I'm okay with that. Otherwise, Yankee fan that's fine.

0:07:23.280 --> 0:07:26.880
<v Speaker 1>Doesn't bother me. Come on, every not every guy has

0:07:26.880 --> 0:07:28.800
<v Speaker 1>to go in a Yankee. Maroto Rivera actually the first

0:07:28.840 --> 0:07:32.520
<v Speaker 1>Yankee that was either drafted by the team or signed

0:07:33.600 --> 0:07:37.480
<v Speaker 1>signed as a free not a free agent signed as

0:07:37.520 --> 0:07:40.320
<v Speaker 1>a amateur by the Yankees to going to the Hall

0:07:40.360 --> 0:07:43.680
<v Speaker 1>of Fame. Um, sus, I need seventy four actually, so

0:07:43.720 --> 0:07:45.840
<v Speaker 1>it's a little long, and it was voted in back

0:07:45.880 --> 0:07:47.520
<v Speaker 1>to back years of that. You know that that's correct.

0:07:48.280 --> 0:07:50.160
<v Speaker 1>Next year, it's been a long time coming, a long

0:07:50.200 --> 0:07:52.800
<v Speaker 1>time coming. Wait for the for the Derrek Cheater haters

0:07:52.800 --> 0:07:54.440
<v Speaker 1>to come out next year as well. If he was

0:07:54.480 --> 0:07:56.720
<v Speaker 1>a Pittsburgh pirate, would he be a first ballot Hall

0:07:56.800 --> 0:08:01.200
<v Speaker 1>of Famer? I mean some slack by the way, carry

0:08:01.240 --> 0:08:05.280

0:08:05.560 --> 0:08:10.960
<v Speaker 1>Terry Rose yere from DFS NBA DFS tonight. Also all

0:08:11.000 --> 0:08:12.840
<v Speaker 1>we're kind of getting things off our chest. Man. I'm

0:08:12.840 --> 0:08:15.840
<v Speaker 1>not gonna I'm not gonna think I think it's just me.

0:08:17.520 --> 0:08:18.920
<v Speaker 1>I didn't wake up on the wrong side of the bed.

0:08:18.960 --> 0:08:20.760
<v Speaker 1>I slept on the same side of bed that I

0:08:20.800 --> 0:08:23.920
<v Speaker 1>do every single day. I'm not gonna start a fight

0:08:24.000 --> 0:08:30.480
<v Speaker 1>with the frenzy guys again for what you know. You

0:08:30.840 --> 0:08:33.600
<v Speaker 1>lead off the show yesterday, I'm talking about hard hit

0:08:33.720 --> 0:08:36.920
<v Speaker 1>rates and putting me to sleeps. Someone on the network

0:08:36.920 --> 0:08:39.679
<v Speaker 1>has to talk about fantasy baseball. We are the fantasy

0:08:39.840 --> 0:08:44.960
<v Speaker 1>sports network and obviously transitioning into gambling and gaming as well.

0:08:45.400 --> 0:08:47.800
<v Speaker 1>But somebody on the network has to talk about fantasy baseball.

0:08:47.800 --> 0:08:49.080
<v Speaker 1>We're not just gonna sit here and act like it

0:08:49.080 --> 0:08:52.520
<v Speaker 1>doesn't exist. You can't talk about fantasy baseball without talking

0:08:52.559 --> 0:08:55.200
<v Speaker 1>about the saber metrics hats like it's just you can't

0:08:55.200 --> 0:08:57.160
<v Speaker 1>do it. Nowadays, we can do We're talking about the

0:08:57.160 --> 0:09:00.160
<v Speaker 1>back of a baseball card rate. We can every at

0:09:00.200 --> 0:09:02.400
<v Speaker 1>home runs. But Greg, we take it a step further.

0:09:02.440 --> 0:09:04.839
<v Speaker 1>We tell you why an average will go up or

0:09:04.880 --> 0:09:09.240
<v Speaker 1>down based on bad but based on hard hit you knows. Well.

0:09:09.280 --> 0:09:11.240
<v Speaker 1>What I'm saying is that we can do better. Frank

0:09:11.440 --> 0:09:13.559
<v Speaker 1>is explaining what those things mean and why they important.

0:09:14.120 --> 0:09:16.600
<v Speaker 1>That's what we can do better, all right, So let's

0:09:16.600 --> 0:09:17.840
<v Speaker 1>get into it for today. I had a lot of

0:09:17.840 --> 0:09:19.960
<v Speaker 1>fun on yesterday's show, so today we wanted to do

0:09:20.040 --> 0:09:23.280
<v Speaker 1>more of the same. Some other players that have changed

0:09:23.320 --> 0:09:25.400
<v Speaker 1>teams in the past couple of months that you maybe

0:09:25.559 --> 0:09:28.880
<v Speaker 1>didn't know or maybe just forgot about. As I have

0:09:30.160 --> 0:09:31.880
<v Speaker 1>one of them is a greggy guy, or seems to

0:09:31.880 --> 0:09:34.480
<v Speaker 1>be a greggy guy early on here. Well, the one

0:09:34.520 --> 0:09:36.520
<v Speaker 1>of these guys is a greggy guy for sure, because

0:09:36.520 --> 0:09:37.840
<v Speaker 1>I haven't one of my team every year it would

0:09:37.840 --> 0:09:40.760
<v Speaker 1>be a f guy and the other one, as I

0:09:40.920 --> 0:09:43.320
<v Speaker 1>will now, I'm confused. Get my toe into the water.

0:09:43.480 --> 0:09:46.560
<v Speaker 1>I have carloson down every year, dude, Carlos. As I

0:09:46.559 --> 0:09:49.520
<v Speaker 1>did my toes into the water, You're like, I'm gonna

0:09:49.559 --> 0:09:54.199
<v Speaker 1>draft Jean's a girl getting into that, dude. Sorry. As

0:09:54.200 --> 0:09:56.480
<v Speaker 1>I've did my toes into the water here and started

0:09:56.520 --> 0:09:58.840
<v Speaker 1>some fantasy baseball research, I'm like, you know what, I

0:09:58.920 --> 0:10:01.760
<v Speaker 1>think I really like cigarette this year. And Frank turned

0:10:01.760 --> 0:10:06.839
<v Speaker 1>to me and gives me this a very confident headshake. Yes,

0:10:06.920 --> 0:10:09.080
<v Speaker 1>that's really think I was on the right track with

0:10:09.120 --> 0:10:11.320
<v Speaker 1>some of the research I was doing, Like I said,

0:10:11.679 --> 0:10:15.920
<v Speaker 1>really just kind of diving in slowly and finding some

0:10:16.000 --> 0:10:18.200
<v Speaker 1>guys that I really liked, Jane Sagura being one of them,

0:10:18.360 --> 0:10:21.280
<v Speaker 1>his teammate Reeves Hoskins this morning being another. Let me

0:10:21.280 --> 0:10:24.520
<v Speaker 1>start with who was now a member of the Philadelphia Phillies.

0:10:24.559 --> 0:10:27.280
<v Speaker 1>Here and he was traded over to Philadelphia for who, Frank,

0:10:28.679 --> 0:10:33.760
<v Speaker 1>he was traded for. I mean, this was a pretty

0:10:33.760 --> 0:10:36.360
<v Speaker 1>complicated trade at the time. But let's see, it was

0:10:36.440 --> 0:10:39.440
<v Speaker 1>Jeane Sagurro, Wan Nicasio and James Pazzos to the Phillies,

0:10:39.800 --> 0:10:46.839
<v Speaker 1>Carlos Santana and JP Crawford went to went to Seattle,

0:10:47.240 --> 0:10:50.320
<v Speaker 1>and then it was Edwin and Carnacione who went to

0:10:51.080 --> 0:10:53.839
<v Speaker 1>It was it was all over them. It was Incarnacion

0:10:53.960 --> 0:10:58.600
<v Speaker 1>went from Cleveland to Seattle then, which sent Carlo Santana

0:10:59.320 --> 0:11:03.480
<v Speaker 1>back to the Indians, and Yandy Diaz, who was on

0:11:03.520 --> 0:11:06.600
<v Speaker 1>the Indians went to the Rays along with Cole Sulzer.

0:11:07.040 --> 0:11:11.120
<v Speaker 1>So Sigura to the Phillies, Arl Santana and JP Crawford

0:11:11.160 --> 0:11:13.600
<v Speaker 1>at the time to the Mariners. JP Crawford stays with

0:11:13.600 --> 0:11:17.960
<v Speaker 1>the Mariners, Parl Santana now from the Indians, from the

0:11:17.960 --> 0:11:21.040
<v Speaker 1>Mariners back to the Indians, Edwin and Karnassi onto the Mariners,

0:11:21.160 --> 0:11:24.240
<v Speaker 1>Yandy Diaz to the Rays. It was this whole big,

0:11:24.240 --> 0:11:29.880
<v Speaker 1>convoluted thing. But that's basically the takeaway there perfect the

0:11:30.000 --> 0:11:33.800
<v Speaker 1>job all right broken down. Now let's talk about the

0:11:33.800 --> 0:11:36.199
<v Speaker 1>important parts of that here, Frank, which Jean Sagura is

0:11:36.240 --> 0:11:38.240
<v Speaker 1>now remember the Phillies, and this dude like for being

0:11:38.280 --> 0:11:39.520
<v Speaker 1>as good as he is. He's played for a lot

0:11:39.520 --> 0:11:43.240
<v Speaker 1>of teams, uh in his short career, um from the Brewers,

0:11:43.440 --> 0:11:47.400
<v Speaker 1>the Reds, the Brewers, Diamondbacks, the Mariners, and now is

0:11:47.440 --> 0:11:49.320
<v Speaker 1>a member of the Philadelphia Phillies. I said I was

0:11:49.360 --> 0:11:52.120
<v Speaker 1>in on him and he should shook your head, Yeah

0:11:51.920 --> 0:11:54.160
<v Speaker 1>you should be. What makes you like Jean Sagara going

0:11:54.200 --> 0:11:57.400
<v Speaker 1>into this year, Well, he's kind of like the forgotten man.

0:11:57.640 --> 0:12:01.640
<v Speaker 1>You know a lot of people for gotten son, Jean Siagura.

0:12:01.800 --> 0:12:04.160
<v Speaker 1>You look at the a d P sixty sixty nine,

0:12:04.200 --> 0:12:06.760
<v Speaker 1>he's around that range. He's one of these you know,

0:12:06.800 --> 0:12:08.840
<v Speaker 1>you get him in the fifth, sixth round of fifteen

0:12:08.880 --> 0:12:14.120
<v Speaker 1>team drafts um. But he's you know, he's one of

0:12:14.160 --> 0:12:16.559
<v Speaker 1>these guys where you could get stolen basis from him

0:12:16.600 --> 0:12:21.360
<v Speaker 1>in Rhodo and he doesn't kill you everywhere else, Like

0:12:21.440 --> 0:12:23.440
<v Speaker 1>he gives you a little bit of everything. I looked

0:12:23.440 --> 0:12:25.760
<v Speaker 1>at this at least a three d batting average, eight

0:12:25.840 --> 0:12:27.840
<v Speaker 1>run scored and twenty stolen bases in each of the

0:12:27.880 --> 0:12:31.280
<v Speaker 1>past three seasons. Is a three oh eight average during

0:12:31.280 --> 0:12:33.960
<v Speaker 1>that time. That's eighth best in all baseball two and

0:12:34.000 --> 0:12:37.160
<v Speaker 1>seventy three runs scored. That's twenty one in baseball. Seventy

0:12:37.200 --> 0:12:39.920
<v Speaker 1>five stolen bases over the past three years, that's eleventh

0:12:40.120 --> 0:12:43.160
<v Speaker 1>best in all of baseball. Now, I know these stolen

0:12:43.160 --> 0:12:46.000
<v Speaker 1>bases have trended downwards three years in a row, back

0:12:47.080 --> 0:12:49.240
<v Speaker 1>thirty three with the Diamondbacks, that went down to twenty

0:12:49.240 --> 0:12:51.320
<v Speaker 1>two and went down to twenty last year. But he

0:12:51.440 --> 0:12:54.480
<v Speaker 1>was dealing with lower leg injuries believing an anklely at

0:12:54.480 --> 0:12:56.679
<v Speaker 1>a shin injury at one point. And that's another thing

0:12:57.440 --> 0:13:01.360
<v Speaker 1>you can he's gonna miss sometime. He's averaged a hundred

0:13:01.400 --> 0:13:04.079
<v Speaker 1>and forty two games per season over the past six years,

0:13:04.080 --> 0:13:06.319
<v Speaker 1>so he misses on average twenty games per year. You

0:13:06.400 --> 0:13:09.160
<v Speaker 1>gotta bake that in as well. But to me, Greg,

0:13:09.200 --> 0:13:14.880
<v Speaker 1>he's safe for to ninety batting average, ten to fifteen

0:13:14.920 --> 0:13:17.360
<v Speaker 1>home runs. He doesn't kill you in the RBI department.

0:13:17.360 --> 0:13:19.200
<v Speaker 1>That's where like normally, if you want a draft guy

0:13:19.240 --> 0:13:21.600
<v Speaker 1>who gives you stolen bases, they kill you in the

0:13:21.720 --> 0:13:23.240
<v Speaker 1>r B i s and the home runs. He gives

0:13:23.240 --> 0:13:24.839
<v Speaker 1>you a ten to fifteen home runs, he gives you

0:13:24.920 --> 0:13:26.640
<v Speaker 1>sixty plus r BIS. You look at what he's done

0:13:26.679 --> 0:13:28.760
<v Speaker 1>over the past three years, So I think a realistic

0:13:28.760 --> 0:13:30.559
<v Speaker 1>projector for him. What I wrote down here was to

0:13:31.400 --> 0:13:34.160
<v Speaker 1>thirteen home runs, eighty five runs scored, sixty five r BI,

0:13:34.400 --> 0:13:37.960
<v Speaker 1>twenty stolen basis, he's gonna hit a top a pretty

0:13:38.000 --> 0:13:40.240
<v Speaker 1>good Phillies line up, which could get even better if

0:13:40.240 --> 0:13:42.600
<v Speaker 1>Bryce Harper or Many Machado were to join this lineup.

0:13:42.640 --> 0:13:44.320
<v Speaker 1>But if you just look at the top right now,

0:13:44.320 --> 0:13:48.120
<v Speaker 1>it's he's our Hernandez, Jean Sigura, Andrew McCutcheon, Reese Hoskins,

0:13:48.600 --> 0:13:51.840
<v Speaker 1>they have a few other names there. Makes massive contact.

0:13:51.920 --> 0:13:54.160
<v Speaker 1>He doesn't strike out a lot. He could be better

0:13:54.200 --> 0:13:56.199
<v Speaker 1>for points leagues if he walked more, but he is

0:13:56.200 --> 0:13:58.400
<v Speaker 1>a very aggressive swinger at the plate. But he also

0:13:58.440 --> 0:14:00.640
<v Speaker 1>does make a lot of contact. Eighty eight percent of

0:14:00.679 --> 0:14:02.640
<v Speaker 1>the time, Gregg he made contact last year That was

0:14:02.760 --> 0:14:06.600
<v Speaker 1>fifth best in all of baseball. So for all those reasons,

0:14:07.600 --> 0:14:09.000
<v Speaker 1>I think he's safe. I think he's, you know, one

0:14:09.000 --> 0:14:10.840
<v Speaker 1>of these guys where he'll give you twenty five still

0:14:10.840 --> 0:14:12.719
<v Speaker 1>on basis and doesn't kill you in any of the

0:14:12.760 --> 0:14:14.760
<v Speaker 1>power stats. Well, you're telling me before, Frank, is you

0:14:14.800 --> 0:14:17.280
<v Speaker 1>want in those first three rounds to get speed, to

0:14:17.320 --> 0:14:19.560
<v Speaker 1>get basically five to players and you didn't have to

0:14:19.600 --> 0:14:21.360
<v Speaker 1>take him in the third. Well, that was what I

0:14:21.400 --> 0:14:23.960
<v Speaker 1>was getting to that he's probably not somebody that grabbing

0:14:24.000 --> 0:14:25.400
<v Speaker 1>the third round. So if you grab a guy that

0:14:25.600 --> 0:14:30.920
<v Speaker 1>is strictly powers very solidly in the middle of the

0:14:30.960 --> 0:14:33.480
<v Speaker 1>fifth round of a fifteen team dress if you're strictly

0:14:33.480 --> 0:14:35.640
<v Speaker 1>going on power in that third or fourth round and

0:14:35.640 --> 0:14:36.960
<v Speaker 1>you want to pick up a little bit a little

0:14:36.960 --> 0:14:38.920
<v Speaker 1>bit of speed later on, not that much later on,

0:14:39.040 --> 0:14:42.000
<v Speaker 1>but like slightly later on. That's what a guy like

0:14:42.080 --> 0:14:44.080
<v Speaker 1>Jeans Cigar is. I think what I made me like

0:14:44.200 --> 0:14:47.640
<v Speaker 1>Sigur the most. You kind of know what you're getting, right,

0:14:47.720 --> 0:14:50.120
<v Speaker 1>You're gonna get close to double digit home runs or

0:14:50.160 --> 0:14:52.200
<v Speaker 1>ten to fifteen runs, we'll call it. You're gonna get

0:14:53.040 --> 0:14:55.720
<v Speaker 1>stolen basis playing for Gabe Katler now on affiliate team

0:14:55.760 --> 0:14:57.840
<v Speaker 1>that is going to be aggressive. We talked about yesterday

0:14:57.880 --> 0:15:00.320
<v Speaker 1>Frank on the base paths right like, we think that

0:15:00.880 --> 0:15:03.720
<v Speaker 1>is actually something that worries me because the Phillies only

0:15:04.600 --> 0:15:08.160
<v Speaker 1>Phillies only attempted They attempted the twenty four most stone

0:15:08.200 --> 0:15:10.880
<v Speaker 1>basis last year, so they were they were in the

0:15:10.880 --> 0:15:13.440
<v Speaker 1>lower third of the league and Gabe Kapler you know,

0:15:13.440 --> 0:15:14.840
<v Speaker 1>he's one of these guys where he's big on the

0:15:14.840 --> 0:15:18.480
<v Speaker 1>analytics and wherever the analytics kind of like moved stolen basis.

0:15:18.480 --> 0:15:20.320
<v Speaker 1>Over the past couple of years, they've kind of shied

0:15:20.360 --> 0:15:23.360
<v Speaker 1>away from stolen basis. You know, let's not let's not

0:15:23.480 --> 0:15:25.280
<v Speaker 1>run into out on the base paths when we have

0:15:25.360 --> 0:15:27.840
<v Speaker 1>guys like McCutcheon or Reese Hoskins or you know, if

0:15:27.840 --> 0:15:30.880
<v Speaker 1>they get Bryce Harper coming up, which could potentially turn

0:15:30.960 --> 0:15:34.520
<v Speaker 1>a Reese Hoskins to run Homer, Whereas if you run

0:15:34.520 --> 0:15:36.840
<v Speaker 1>into an out on the base pass, it turns into

0:15:36.880 --> 0:15:39.640
<v Speaker 1>a solo Homer. Um, you know, just not giving up

0:15:39.800 --> 0:15:41.800
<v Speaker 1>easy outs on the base pass. And it's not like

0:15:41.880 --> 0:15:45.680
<v Speaker 1>he's had a great conversion ratio year twenty stolen basis

0:15:45.720 --> 0:15:48.080
<v Speaker 1>and eleven called stealings, So I understand people might have

0:15:48.160 --> 0:15:50.560
<v Speaker 1>some worry in that regard. But again, I do think

0:15:50.560 --> 0:15:52.160
<v Speaker 1>the fact that he was dealing with a lower leg

0:15:52.200 --> 0:15:54.360
<v Speaker 1>injury kind of contributed to some of that last year.

0:15:54.440 --> 0:15:58.600
<v Speaker 1>I think personally he's still safe for stone base and

0:15:58.600 --> 0:16:01.520
<v Speaker 1>I think that's what a good safe number. And I'm

0:16:01.520 --> 0:16:04.720
<v Speaker 1>gonna asking for thirty to thirty five. What you're looking

0:16:04.760 --> 0:16:07.880
<v Speaker 1>for for Sigura. UM the other things, particularly points leads

0:16:07.880 --> 0:16:09.640
<v Speaker 1>and you pointed out Frank, which is how much contact

0:16:09.640 --> 0:16:12.040
<v Speaker 1>he makes eight percent of the time, top five, you know,

0:16:12.080 --> 0:16:16.360
<v Speaker 1>all baseball. It's unbelievable. The guy doesn't strike out. And

0:16:16.400 --> 0:16:19.000
<v Speaker 1>I was looking today about walk rate and k rate

0:16:19.040 --> 0:16:21.840
<v Speaker 1>in general, um and why he doesn't walk. That he

0:16:21.840 --> 0:16:24.960
<v Speaker 1>also doesn't strike out was wild to me, and I

0:16:25.000 --> 0:16:26.880
<v Speaker 1>was like, okay, how sustainable as that? And you go

0:16:26.920 --> 0:16:30.160
<v Speaker 1>back in his career and it's always around lower like

0:16:30.280 --> 0:16:34.240
<v Speaker 1>he does not strike out. And if you're just a

0:16:34.240 --> 0:16:36.800
<v Speaker 1>guy that's gonna make contact with his speed, especially on

0:16:36.800 --> 0:16:39.240
<v Speaker 1>the ground, like I'm okay with that. A guy that's

0:16:39.240 --> 0:16:42.000
<v Speaker 1>going to make contact and get on bees, good things happen.

0:16:42.160 --> 0:16:44.920
<v Speaker 1>And we talked yesterday about run scoring and particularly Charlie

0:16:44.920 --> 0:16:47.800
<v Speaker 1>Blackman and why we may want to take him over

0:16:47.880 --> 0:16:54.080
<v Speaker 1>some other guys. Jee Siagura basically averages eighty runs scored.

0:16:54.120 --> 0:16:56.440
<v Speaker 1>It feels like on a given season and in that

0:16:56.520 --> 0:16:59.120
<v Speaker 1>line of which should be pretty good with Philadelphia. Segura

0:16:59.160 --> 0:17:02.640
<v Speaker 1>is gonna bat right above season Hernande's right below sees

0:17:02.680 --> 0:17:07.720
<v Speaker 1>Hernande's there's between CCSR and there's a lot to like

0:17:07.800 --> 0:17:10.680
<v Speaker 1>there With Jean sagura Um. The o b P also

0:17:10.800 --> 0:17:14.159
<v Speaker 1>really good in ob P leagues, around a three hit

0:17:14.280 --> 0:17:17.679
<v Speaker 1>over the last couple of years. I like he's just safe,

0:17:17.800 --> 0:17:20.000
<v Speaker 1>and there's something to be said about a safe short stop.

0:17:20.240 --> 0:17:22.480
<v Speaker 1>Let's take a break. When we come back, the other

0:17:22.520 --> 0:17:24.520

<v Speaker 1>this current generation, Lebron took control of that young guard.

0:19:07.200 --> 0:19:09.800
<v Speaker 1>Wade was amazing what he was just a hair below Lebron,

0:19:09.840 --> 0:19:11.800
<v Speaker 1>and even Lebron was kind of ahead of Kobe once

0:19:11.880 --> 0:19:13.920
<v Speaker 1>Kobe started hitting towards the end of his career. And

0:19:13.920 --> 0:19:16.280
<v Speaker 1>then you've got Lebron for the most part saying ahead

0:19:16.280 --> 0:19:17.680
<v Speaker 1>of Kevin Durant and him, I beat him, but he

0:19:17.680 --> 0:19:19.720
<v Speaker 1>can't get over the hump of feeding him all out

<v Speaker 1>All right, Frankie, you gave the details over the trade.

0:20:23.440 --> 0:20:26.400
<v Speaker 1>The other members going over to Philadelphia James Potto's uh

0:20:26.400 --> 0:20:31.359
<v Speaker 1>and Pizzos and one to Coasto Bullpen pieces um for Philadelphia.

0:20:32.400 --> 0:20:35.960
<v Speaker 1>Now going over to Seattle. The one was staying in

0:20:36.040 --> 0:20:40.280
<v Speaker 1>Seattle was JP Crawford, former top prospect or Philadelphia longtime

0:20:40.359 --> 0:20:43.520
<v Speaker 1>top prospect. But the more you dove into those numbers,

0:20:44.040 --> 0:20:47.320
<v Speaker 1>especially in the high miners, wasn't exactly a fantasy friendly

0:20:47.359 --> 0:20:50.600
<v Speaker 1>output for JP Crawford. Has anything change for him in

0:20:50.680 --> 0:20:54.080
<v Speaker 1>Seattle fantasy perspective, well as of right now, he's not

0:20:54.119 --> 0:20:57.640
<v Speaker 1>even projected to start at short stop because they signed

0:20:57.680 --> 0:21:00.920
<v Speaker 1>Tim Beckham. So for now, I mean, we'll probably see

0:21:01.000 --> 0:21:03.879
<v Speaker 1>JP Crawford at some point, Like there's clearly something they

0:21:03.920 --> 0:21:05.440
<v Speaker 1>liked about him, And you're right, he was a top

0:21:05.440 --> 0:21:08.040
<v Speaker 1>prospect for a while here, probably more so known for

0:21:08.119 --> 0:21:11.560
<v Speaker 1>his defense than anything in Triple A. He did hit

0:21:11.600 --> 0:21:15.040
<v Speaker 1>fifteen home runs, only bad at two forty three. But um,

0:21:15.080 --> 0:21:17.720
<v Speaker 1>at the major league level, he just he hasn't shown

0:21:17.840 --> 0:21:24.200
<v Speaker 1>much in UH. In just about two five plate appearances

0:21:24.240 --> 0:21:26.399
<v Speaker 1>at the major league level, he has three home runs.

0:21:26.400 --> 0:21:29.000
<v Speaker 1>He's bad at two fourteen. He strikes out a lot.

0:21:29.280 --> 0:21:32.680
<v Speaker 1>He does walk a lot, which is something worth noting.

0:21:32.800 --> 0:21:36.399
<v Speaker 1>But there's some guys who are like, it just doesn't

0:21:36.440 --> 0:21:38.879
<v Speaker 1>work out. Maybe he needed a change his scenery. Maybe

0:21:38.880 --> 0:21:41.880
<v Speaker 1>that'll help him out. Um, you know, maybe a team

0:21:41.960 --> 0:21:43.600
<v Speaker 1>like the Mariners who are a little bit more aggressive

0:21:43.600 --> 0:21:45.760
<v Speaker 1>on the base pass like maybe like exploit some of

0:21:45.760 --> 0:21:48.359
<v Speaker 1>that athleticism for him. I just needed a new beginning.

0:21:48.359 --> 0:21:50.040
<v Speaker 1>It wasn't working out with the Phillies. It took forever

0:21:50.080 --> 0:21:52.000
<v Speaker 1>for him to make it to the major league level.

0:21:52.119 --> 0:21:54.680
<v Speaker 1>They seemed um, they seemed hesitant to ever really give

0:21:54.760 --> 0:21:56.800
<v Speaker 1>him a shot. I think it won't be long in

0:21:56.840 --> 0:21:58.879
<v Speaker 1>Seattle before they do him a shot. But he hasn't

0:21:58.920 --> 0:22:02.080
<v Speaker 1>really done much um at the major league level to

0:22:02.080 --> 0:22:04.920
<v Speaker 1>give us confidence miners. He showed a little bit of pop,

0:22:04.960 --> 0:22:07.920
<v Speaker 1>but really not great batting average or stolen bases either.

0:22:08.880 --> 0:22:11.120
<v Speaker 1>I don't I don't have high hopes for JP crow

0:22:12.920 --> 0:22:14.800
<v Speaker 1>in all. Honestly, there's just not much here. As I

0:22:14.840 --> 0:22:17.600
<v Speaker 1>said that makes you excited about JP Crawford. He has

0:22:17.640 --> 0:22:19.919
<v Speaker 1>not put it together in the high level miners in

0:22:19.920 --> 0:22:22.359
<v Speaker 1>the major leagues quite yet, and there's just enough enough

0:22:22.400 --> 0:22:26.000
<v Speaker 1>other guys to make it work. Interested in Tim Beccam,

0:22:26.040 --> 0:22:30.360
<v Speaker 1>I know we weren't talking about Timham today, not really. Um.

0:22:30.640 --> 0:22:32.879
<v Speaker 1>He was injured for a lot of last year with

0:22:33.000 --> 0:22:36.320
<v Speaker 1>the with the Baltimore Orios. The year before that kind

0:22:36.359 --> 0:22:38.359
<v Speaker 1>of everything came together where I think that was the

0:22:38.440 --> 0:22:41.760
<v Speaker 1>year he played for Tampa Bay and Baltimore runs that

0:22:41.840 --> 0:22:44.040
<v Speaker 1>year to seventy eight, but strikes out a lot, doesn't

0:22:44.040 --> 0:22:47.400
<v Speaker 1>walk all that much either. Um, it could be an

0:22:47.400 --> 0:22:50.600
<v Speaker 1>interesting source of power from the middle infield position, but

0:22:50.960 --> 0:22:53.520
<v Speaker 1>of a battle ball profile. Regrets last year didn't hit

0:22:53.520 --> 0:22:56.120
<v Speaker 1>the ball all that hard. It just seems like that

0:22:56.160 --> 0:22:58.159
<v Speaker 1>one year we have twenty two home runs with the

0:22:58.240 --> 0:23:01.399
<v Speaker 1>raising Orioles combined in kind of the out wire in

0:23:01.440 --> 0:23:03.960
<v Speaker 1>his career. I think this is one of those situations

0:23:04.000 --> 0:23:06.840
<v Speaker 1>where the Mariners will give him an opportunity to play

0:23:06.840 --> 0:23:09.440
<v Speaker 1>early on, and if he can produce anything, then they'll

0:23:09.640 --> 0:23:11.879
<v Speaker 1>try and flip him at the deadline for whatever they

0:23:11.920 --> 0:23:14.119
<v Speaker 1>can get. Um and if that doesn't work out, if

0:23:14.119 --> 0:23:15.960
<v Speaker 1>he struggles early on, Ben will just give it up

0:23:16.000 --> 0:23:17.959
<v Speaker 1>to JP Crawford. Makes sense to me, all right. So

0:23:18.040 --> 0:23:20.000
<v Speaker 1>the other part of the trade was Carlos Santana and

0:23:20.040 --> 0:23:23.040
<v Speaker 1>he was traded to Seattle and then immediately un immediately

0:23:23.040 --> 0:23:26.040
<v Speaker 1>but close to it, from the Seattle over to Cleveland

0:23:26.520 --> 0:23:30.560
<v Speaker 1>where Seattle picked up Edwin and Carnassium and Carlos Santana

0:23:30.560 --> 0:23:35.520
<v Speaker 1>after one year hiatus returns to the Indians. Santana's line

0:23:35.600 --> 0:23:38.400
<v Speaker 1>last year the same as it is every year where

0:23:38.440 --> 0:23:41.679
<v Speaker 1>he had twenty four homers, had ad runs scored, he

0:23:41.720 --> 0:23:43.880
<v Speaker 1>had over a d r v I. His walk rate

0:23:43.960 --> 0:23:46.439
<v Speaker 1>was excellent. He didn't strike out all that much. Uh.

0:23:46.520 --> 0:23:48.680
<v Speaker 1>The average lower than it has been in the last

0:23:48.680 --> 0:23:50.800
<v Speaker 1>couple of years, but the ov P writing line where

0:23:50.800 --> 0:23:54.479
<v Speaker 1>it always is around three fifty two three sixty. The

0:23:54.560 --> 0:23:56.919
<v Speaker 1>drop in average can be explained as a low babbitt

0:23:57.280 --> 0:24:00.280
<v Speaker 1>babbit over the bath over his careers about to six year,

0:24:00.320 --> 0:24:03.840
<v Speaker 1>so UM last year was two thirty. That's why he

0:24:03.920 --> 0:24:06.959
<v Speaker 1>dropped about twenty about yeah, about thirty points here um

0:24:07.000 --> 0:24:10.920
<v Speaker 1>in average. Carlo Santana despite the age franc at thirty

0:24:11.280 --> 0:24:14.280
<v Speaker 1>thirty three in early April. You know what you're getting.

0:24:14.520 --> 0:24:16.960
<v Speaker 1>Have you seen? Do you see any signs of decline

0:24:17.040 --> 0:24:20.520
<v Speaker 1>or any signs of change that Carlo Santana owners can

0:24:20.520 --> 0:24:23.000
<v Speaker 1>be expecting when they draft him. No, I mean I

0:24:23.000 --> 0:24:28.000
<v Speaker 1>think you kind of rightfully outlined Carlos Santana, especially for Rhodo,

0:24:28.080 --> 0:24:31.800
<v Speaker 1>Like you know what you're gonna get to batting average

0:24:31.840 --> 0:24:34.320
<v Speaker 1>points is where you want him, right Like, he's much

0:24:34.359 --> 0:24:38.080
<v Speaker 1>more valuable in points leagues than he is in rhodo leagues.

0:24:38.320 --> 0:24:40.520
<v Speaker 1>And when we say points leagues, those are leagues that

0:24:40.920 --> 0:24:43.399
<v Speaker 1>you know, you get a point per single you get,

0:24:43.840 --> 0:24:46.840
<v Speaker 1>you lose points for strikeouts. It's kind of comparable to

0:24:47.040 --> 0:24:49.240
<v Speaker 1>And if you haven't played fantasy baseball before, if you're

0:24:49.240 --> 0:24:52.919
<v Speaker 1>transitioning from fantasy football to fantasy baseball, that might be

0:24:52.960 --> 0:24:54.560
<v Speaker 1>the league that you kind of want to get into

0:24:54.640 --> 0:24:59.080
<v Speaker 1>because rodo a little bit more uh complicated. You know,

0:24:59.080 --> 0:25:01.399
<v Speaker 1>you're trying to figure out more stats. You gotta figure

0:25:01.400 --> 0:25:02.960
<v Speaker 1>out what you need in order to move up and

0:25:03.000 --> 0:25:06.000
<v Speaker 1>move down in the standings. So um, if you're just

0:25:06.040 --> 0:25:08.720
<v Speaker 1>transitioning from fantasy football to fantasy baseball, points leagues are

0:25:08.760 --> 0:25:11.920
<v Speaker 1>are easier in my opinion and more comparable. But he's

0:25:12.000 --> 0:25:14.320
<v Speaker 1>much better in points leagues just because of his plate discipline.

0:25:14.320 --> 0:25:17.800
<v Speaker 1>He walks so much. Since two thousand and eleven when

0:25:17.840 --> 0:25:20.359
<v Speaker 1>he became a full time player, greg a fifteen point

0:25:20.440 --> 0:25:23.760
<v Speaker 1>two percent walk rate for Carlos Santanna's that's fourth most

0:25:23.840 --> 0:25:27.119
<v Speaker 1>in baseball, behind Vado, Aaron Judge who's only played the

0:25:27.160 --> 0:25:30.359
<v Speaker 1>past two years, and Jose Battisa. The problem is during

0:25:30.359 --> 0:25:33.239
<v Speaker 1>that same span, his batting averages to forty six. So

0:25:33.320 --> 0:25:36.600
<v Speaker 1>for Rhodo, if you're a two forty two, two fifty

0:25:36.640 --> 0:25:40.120
<v Speaker 1>batting average guy and you give me twenty five homers. Yes,

0:25:40.200 --> 0:25:42.920
<v Speaker 1>the runs and r B I s are they're helpful.

0:25:43.040 --> 0:25:44.720
<v Speaker 1>You know that you're gonna get eight plus out of

0:25:44.720 --> 0:25:46.840
<v Speaker 1>both of those categories from Carlo Santana as long as

0:25:46.880 --> 0:25:48.879
<v Speaker 1>he's in the lineup and he is expected to hit

0:25:48.880 --> 0:25:51.479
<v Speaker 1>in the middle of a pretty good Cleveland Indians lineup,

0:25:51.800 --> 0:25:54.119
<v Speaker 1>or I mean, remember with the guy with Santanna and

0:25:54.119 --> 0:25:58.240
<v Speaker 1>Cleveland he let off for a while and manager there,

0:25:58.359 --> 0:26:00.720
<v Speaker 1>I don't expect him to eitherland doors are gonna lead off.

0:26:00.800 --> 0:26:03.080
<v Speaker 1>I just wanted to note it at least it is

0:26:03.080 --> 0:26:05.280
<v Speaker 1>worth mentioning. And he was pretty good in that role,

0:26:05.359 --> 0:26:07.440
<v Speaker 1>just because the ob P gets on bass as much

0:26:07.440 --> 0:26:10.680
<v Speaker 1>as he does. But Francisco Lindora had an awesome, awesome

0:26:10.680 --> 0:26:13.920
<v Speaker 1>season last year, um and that was as a leadoff hitter,

0:26:14.000 --> 0:26:15.679
<v Speaker 1>So I don't really see them going away from that

0:26:15.920 --> 0:26:19.760
<v Speaker 1>roster resource right now for what it's worth. As Lindoor Kittness,

0:26:19.880 --> 0:26:23.160
<v Speaker 1>Jose Ramirez, Carlos Santana and then Jake Bowers, who I'm

0:26:23.160 --> 0:26:25.720
<v Speaker 1>sure we'll get into as well, but the ADP for

0:26:26.280 --> 0:26:28.080
<v Speaker 1>I can very much see Carlos kind of betting two

0:26:28.119 --> 0:26:31.199
<v Speaker 1>in that lineup. And not Jason Kitness that could make

0:26:31.240 --> 0:26:34.480
<v Speaker 1>sense as well. Lindoor San Santana back to back switch hitters,

0:26:34.520 --> 0:26:36.239
<v Speaker 1>and then you have actually would be back to back

0:26:36.280 --> 0:26:40.560
<v Speaker 1>to back switch hittersor Santana and Jose Aramirez that could work,

0:26:40.920 --> 0:26:44.560
<v Speaker 1>could drive up the run scoring opportunities for Carlos Santana

0:26:44.640 --> 0:26:48.240
<v Speaker 1>as well. The rest of this lineup not so great.

0:26:48.840 --> 0:26:50.959
<v Speaker 1>Give me the rest of the lineup they have as

0:26:51.000 --> 0:26:53.440
<v Speaker 1>of right now, they have Tyler Naquin playing right field

0:26:53.480 --> 0:26:57.280
<v Speaker 1>for this team as a platoon player with Jordan Luplo,

0:26:57.480 --> 0:26:59.560
<v Speaker 1>and then they have Roberto Perez is the cashier, John

0:26:59.600 --> 0:27:02.480
<v Speaker 1>Gomes is no longer, they're Leone's Martine as a center fielder,

0:27:02.560 --> 0:27:05.760
<v Speaker 1>Greg Allen left field. So that's why you you hear

0:27:05.920 --> 0:27:09.480
<v Speaker 1>names like Trevor Bauer and Corey Cluber floated around with

0:27:10.280 --> 0:27:15.400
<v Speaker 1>with the Indians because Harbor they need outfield Hillnce Harbor

0:27:15.480 --> 0:27:18.720
<v Speaker 1>they probably should, but for whatever reason, uh, you know,

0:27:19.000 --> 0:27:21.080
<v Speaker 1>teams don't want to give out these big long contracts

0:27:21.200 --> 0:27:24.560
<v Speaker 1>right now. And you know we're kind of seeing that

0:27:24.680 --> 0:27:26.800
<v Speaker 1>as like a trigger trigger down effect. For all three years,

0:27:26.800 --> 0:27:28.560
<v Speaker 1>it's like it's been a slow it's been a slow

0:27:28.640 --> 0:27:31.840
<v Speaker 1>offseason for for for the MLB and for the hot stove,

0:27:31.920 --> 0:27:34.760
<v Speaker 1>which is not very hot right now. But that's why

0:27:34.760 --> 0:27:36.560
<v Speaker 1>it kind of makes sense for the Indians to float

0:27:36.560 --> 0:27:39.639
<v Speaker 1>out a guy like Corey Kluber or Trevor Bauer to

0:27:39.720 --> 0:27:41.520
<v Speaker 1>see what you could get in return, Like this has

0:27:41.560 --> 0:27:45.000
<v Speaker 1>been an organization that just turns out pitching prospects and

0:27:45.119 --> 0:27:47.560
<v Speaker 1>that you know, these guys have turned into pretty good pictures.

0:27:47.600 --> 0:27:50.560
<v Speaker 1>Like remember they took Carlos Carrasco from the Philadelphia Philies

0:27:50.600 --> 0:27:52.760
<v Speaker 1>as kind of like a reclamation project, and they made

0:27:52.840 --> 0:27:55.359
<v Speaker 1>him awesome. Corey Kluber was a guy who was a

0:27:55.440 --> 0:27:57.600
<v Speaker 1>late bloomer in his career with the Indians, came up

0:27:57.600 --> 0:28:00.840
<v Speaker 1>when he was seven and ended up being awesome. Trevor

0:28:00.880 --> 0:28:02.760
<v Speaker 1>Bauer they got from a Diamondbacks. They turned him into

0:28:02.800 --> 0:28:05.639
<v Speaker 1>an awesome picture. Levinger is awesome as well. And and

0:28:05.760 --> 0:28:08.000
<v Speaker 1>people are you know, getting excited about Shane Bieber, who

0:28:08.080 --> 0:28:09.680
<v Speaker 1>is you know, the last guy in the sortation. So

0:28:10.160 --> 0:28:12.639
<v Speaker 1>it would have surprised me one bit. I expect, I

0:28:12.720 --> 0:28:15.840
<v Speaker 1>fully expect one of Uber or Bauer to be moved

0:28:16.320 --> 0:28:18.600
<v Speaker 1>at some point because they need outfield help. You know

0:28:18.720 --> 0:28:21.840
<v Speaker 1>something you've heard the padres as a potential landing spot

0:28:21.920 --> 0:28:25.840
<v Speaker 1>for Corey Klueber. And that's because why the Padres have

0:28:25.920 --> 0:28:29.800
<v Speaker 1>a glut of outfielders. They have Hunter Renfro, they have

0:28:30.760 --> 0:28:33.639
<v Speaker 1>Frand Marais, they have Frankie Cordero, they have Will Myers.

0:28:33.760 --> 0:28:36.760
<v Speaker 1>They you know, they have so many outfielders. So something

0:28:36.840 --> 0:28:40.240
<v Speaker 1>between those two clubs could make sense. But just getting

0:28:40.280 --> 0:28:42.280
<v Speaker 1>back to karl Santana just much better in points leads

0:28:42.280 --> 0:28:44.360
<v Speaker 1>because he doesn't strike out much, he walks a lot.

0:28:44.560 --> 0:28:47.000
<v Speaker 1>But for Rhodo, you see the NFBC A DP one

0:28:47.600 --> 0:28:50.320
<v Speaker 1>point nine seven, you're getting him for basically nothing. The

0:28:50.440 --> 0:28:53.440
<v Speaker 1>problem is, if you're a fantasy baseball player who likes

0:28:53.480 --> 0:28:55.400
<v Speaker 1>to take a shot on like upside plays late in

0:28:55.440 --> 0:28:58.400
<v Speaker 1>your draft, Carlos Santana doesn't really fit that bill. But

0:28:59.040 --> 0:29:01.640
<v Speaker 1>well it stir construction if you do have other guys

0:29:01.920 --> 0:29:04.400
<v Speaker 1>on your team that are a little risky year, like

0:29:04.440 --> 0:29:06.240
<v Speaker 1>if you took a lot of upside shots earlier on

0:29:06.360 --> 0:29:07.840
<v Speaker 1>in the draft and you want a guy who you

0:29:07.880 --> 0:29:13.120
<v Speaker 1>can pencil in for Tooty too fifty and eighty, that's

0:29:13.160 --> 0:29:16.360
<v Speaker 1>carl Santana. It's crazy cart going and pick two eight

0:29:16.520 --> 0:29:19.200
<v Speaker 1>right now, which is so late, and it's crazy to

0:29:19.280 --> 0:29:21.600
<v Speaker 1>because he does what he does every year. My draft

0:29:21.680 --> 0:29:24.120
<v Speaker 1>last year just boring, like it feels if you could

0:29:24.120 --> 0:29:26.960
<v Speaker 1>find those guys like even later than that. I don't

0:29:27.000 --> 0:29:29.440
<v Speaker 1>even know if that's true. Like let's look at who's

0:29:29.440 --> 0:29:31.280
<v Speaker 1>going around here. Yeah, I'm doing just that, Like he's

0:29:31.280 --> 0:29:33.440
<v Speaker 1>going to Martinez doesn't have a job as of right

0:29:33.480 --> 0:29:37.320
<v Speaker 1>now with the Cardinals. Joey Wendel surprised some people last year.

0:29:37.560 --> 0:29:39.800
<v Speaker 1>This is a name to watch, Greig who is going

0:29:39.840 --> 0:29:43.440
<v Speaker 1>to be a hype guy. Jarrett Hampson with the Colorado

0:29:43.560 --> 0:29:46.440
<v Speaker 1>Rockies was a hot name prospect for the Rockies last year.

0:29:46.520 --> 0:29:49.320
<v Speaker 1>Stole a ton of basis in the minor leagues, and

0:29:49.520 --> 0:29:51.960
<v Speaker 1>I do believe as right now he's he does have

0:29:52.160 --> 0:29:56.040
<v Speaker 1>a starting role with the Colorado Rockies, but with everybody

0:29:56.160 --> 0:29:58.920
<v Speaker 1>trying to find stolen bases, where they starting Garret Empson

0:30:01.320 --> 0:30:05.800
<v Speaker 1>second base because who wasn't there anymore? There was gonna

0:30:05.800 --> 0:30:08.720
<v Speaker 1>play first base? Okay, Yeah, as of right now, they

0:30:08.760 --> 0:30:11.000
<v Speaker 1>have Daniel Murphy at first, they have Garrett Hampson at

0:30:11.080 --> 0:30:13.800
<v Speaker 1>second base, They have Trevors Story at short and they

0:30:13.880 --> 0:30:16.920
<v Speaker 1>have Ian Desmond in the outfield and Ryan McMahon and

0:30:17.120 --> 0:30:19.000
<v Speaker 1>Ry melt happier are kind of the odd names out

0:30:19.200 --> 0:30:22.160
<v Speaker 1>with David dal starting in right field. So Garrett Hampson,

0:30:22.320 --> 0:30:24.680
<v Speaker 1>who was going after Carl Santana right now, that is

0:30:24.720 --> 0:30:27.240
<v Speaker 1>a name to watch out for. It's funny. What are

0:30:27.240 --> 0:30:28.920
<v Speaker 1>you looking? Where are you looking at? Ust root um

0:30:29.320 --> 0:30:32.560
<v Speaker 1>an FBC from so I'm looking you just right NFBC,

0:30:32.720 --> 0:30:34.600
<v Speaker 1>A DP and Google. Have I have it? All? I

0:30:34.680 --> 0:30:38.160
<v Speaker 1>go from January one and we're looking at the same thing,

0:30:38.200 --> 0:30:40.440
<v Speaker 1>and I have Garrett Hampson actually going twenty spots higher

0:30:40.960 --> 0:30:45.120
<v Speaker 1>January one, nineteen to one nineteen, Gregor do you have that?

0:30:45.760 --> 0:30:49.560
<v Speaker 1>Not the problem? You found the problem? What was what

0:30:49.720 --> 0:30:53.000
<v Speaker 1>was your end date in the adp uh correct, it

0:30:53.080 --> 0:30:55.479
<v Speaker 1>was the beginning date which was one oh one two.

0:30:58.200 --> 0:31:02.240
<v Speaker 1>That was not helpful. I all, um nahen eighty nine

0:31:02.280 --> 0:31:04.719
<v Speaker 1>not to you know, who's comparable to Carl Santano goes

0:31:04.760 --> 0:31:07.240
<v Speaker 1>right around him, Corey Dickerson. Yeah, like Corey Dickerson is

0:31:07.280 --> 0:31:08.920
<v Speaker 1>still going to have a role with the with the

0:31:08.960 --> 0:31:11.640
<v Speaker 1>Pittsburgh Pirates. You can argue has a better batting average

0:31:12.120 --> 0:31:14.840
<v Speaker 1>upside there what kind of similar players? So how you

0:31:14.880 --> 0:31:16.680
<v Speaker 1>wrought him off? Because that given an opportunity to bring

0:31:16.720 --> 0:31:20.240
<v Speaker 1>out doesn't hole excited Lonnie Baseball were very excited now

0:31:20.640 --> 0:31:25.160
<v Speaker 1>in Pittsburgh Corey Dickerson every day is he going to Yeah? Man,

0:31:26.000 --> 0:31:29.880
<v Speaker 1>you know he crushes right E's I don't do this.

0:31:30.040 --> 0:31:34.200
<v Speaker 1>You know who loved does it all that? Nanda loved

0:31:34.360 --> 0:31:38.480
<v Speaker 1>Lonnie Baseball when love is his nickname. When I texted

0:31:38.600 --> 0:31:40.959
<v Speaker 1>when there's always like a two week stretch every year

0:31:41.000 --> 0:31:44.000
<v Speaker 1>where lions isn't all takes over and he sucks for

0:31:44.040 --> 0:31:47.240
<v Speaker 1>the rest of you when he um when Lonnie is

0:31:47.240 --> 0:31:49.520
<v Speaker 1>an old simon Pittsburgh, I texted, no, no, and he

0:31:49.720 --> 0:31:54.640
<v Speaker 1>was so excited. Nanda loves the reclamation projects too, right, Like,

0:31:55.240 --> 0:31:58.400
<v Speaker 1>what was the dude Eric Cooper who was on the

0:31:58.480 --> 0:32:01.280
<v Speaker 1>Yankees a couple of years ago, now with the Miami

0:32:01.360 --> 0:32:08.560
<v Speaker 1>Marlins chest to play Gods lineup? Man, have you looked

0:32:08.560 --> 0:32:12.080
<v Speaker 1>at the Pirates line up yet? Greg? Oh my goodness,

0:32:13.480 --> 0:32:17.160
<v Speaker 1>gone back in basement? You know what? You know what

0:32:17.240 --> 0:32:18.800
<v Speaker 1>I do like on the Pirates and we just kind

0:32:18.840 --> 0:32:25.080
<v Speaker 1>of jumping all around. But why not, umdzis to catch

0:32:25.120 --> 0:32:27.200
<v Speaker 1>us who you know? In a small sample size, he

0:32:27.240 --> 0:32:28.680
<v Speaker 1>played like the final two or three months of the

0:32:28.720 --> 0:32:31.120
<v Speaker 1>season where he was an everyday player, Francisco Savelli was

0:32:31.120 --> 0:32:33.520
<v Speaker 1>dealing with injuries, good batting average, he get like ten

0:32:33.600 --> 0:32:36.600
<v Speaker 1>or twelve home runs, like battball profile looked good for

0:32:36.720 --> 0:32:39.640
<v Speaker 1>him as well. I'm really really hoping that Francisco Savelli

0:32:39.840 --> 0:32:42.640
<v Speaker 1>gets shipped out here because his name has been floated

0:32:42.680 --> 0:32:45.400
<v Speaker 1>out there in trade rumors. One problem was one of

0:32:45.440 --> 0:32:48.080
<v Speaker 1>those rumors was the Dodgers, and they traded for Russell Martin,

0:32:48.240 --> 0:32:51.280
<v Speaker 1>But the Dodgers have also still been in on Real Muto.

0:32:51.520 --> 0:32:54.040
<v Speaker 1>I just really hope that Servelli gets shipped out. Not

0:32:54.160 --> 0:32:56.120
<v Speaker 1>that Survelli is bad, because you know he is what

0:32:56.200 --> 0:32:58.560
<v Speaker 1>he is like he was. Savelli was one of these

0:32:58.600 --> 0:33:01.200
<v Speaker 1>launch ango guys last year who was actively trying to

0:33:01.280 --> 0:33:03.320
<v Speaker 1>lift the ball more and it worked out for him.

0:33:03.360 --> 0:33:05.520
<v Speaker 1>But why SDS was a guy who was a little

0:33:05.520 --> 0:33:07.160
<v Speaker 1>bit excited about last year based on what he did

0:33:07.200 --> 0:33:10.400
<v Speaker 1>in a small say, do they have any prospects? They

0:33:10.440 --> 0:33:14.800
<v Speaker 1>are like ready, No, what's going on with the Pirates organization?

0:33:14.920 --> 0:33:18.960
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. They're interesting organization because last year you

0:33:19.000 --> 0:33:21.080
<v Speaker 1>would have thought they would be sellers and they end

0:33:21.160 --> 0:33:26.360
<v Speaker 1>up buying chrisus Archer. They thought there was they thought

0:33:26.360 --> 0:33:28.240
<v Speaker 1>there was value there. I like Chris Archer too, who's

0:33:28.240 --> 0:33:31.200
<v Speaker 1>that this morning? Actually ended up taking took him in

0:33:31.320 --> 0:33:32.720
<v Speaker 1>my in my best ball. I took him at the

0:33:32.800 --> 0:33:34.560
<v Speaker 1>end of the seventh round. Is my third starting pitcher

0:33:34.600 --> 0:33:38.400
<v Speaker 1>off the board? Good? Um, all right, Glen's going back

0:33:38.400 --> 0:33:40.040
<v Speaker 1>to the Indians here and actually back to the Rais

0:33:40.080 --> 0:33:42.960
<v Speaker 1>as well. Where you said, Carlos Santana right now projecting

0:33:43.000 --> 0:33:45.600
<v Speaker 1>you hit right in front of Jake Bowers person on

0:33:45.680 --> 0:33:47.480
<v Speaker 1>the scene last year for Tampa and we thought this

0:33:47.560 --> 0:33:50.520
<v Speaker 1>was potentially a long term solution at first base for

0:33:50.680 --> 0:33:53.400
<v Speaker 1>the Raise. Ultimately not to be. Bowers goes to Cleveland,

0:33:53.600 --> 0:33:57.320
<v Speaker 1>effectively replacing Edwin or Carnacion in the lineup. What do

0:33:57.360 --> 0:34:01.600
<v Speaker 1>you think about Jake Bowers. So, Jake Bowers, I was

0:34:01.680 --> 0:34:05.320
<v Speaker 1>a little it was a little thrown off frankly that

0:34:05.520 --> 0:34:07.640
<v Speaker 1>the that the Tampa Bay Rays gave up on him

0:34:07.720 --> 0:34:10.359
<v Speaker 1>a little bit too quickly. But the Rays are one

0:34:10.400 --> 0:34:12.759
<v Speaker 1>of these forward thinking organizations. So if there's something that

0:34:12.800 --> 0:34:14.560
<v Speaker 1>they saw in Jake Bowers last year that kind of

0:34:14.600 --> 0:34:16.879
<v Speaker 1>put him off him, I kind of trust Tampa Bay

0:34:17.040 --> 0:34:18.840
<v Speaker 1>just based on what they've done over the pasteons with

0:34:19.000 --> 0:34:21.920
<v Speaker 1>like going to the opener and ziggies with everyone else's

0:34:21.960 --> 0:34:24.880
<v Speaker 1>Zagging's almost like Tampa Bay can't afford to get that

0:34:24.960 --> 0:34:27.320
<v Speaker 1>one wrong. They have to get right. Like he was.

0:34:27.480 --> 0:34:29.839
<v Speaker 1>He was one of their top hitting prospects for a while.

0:34:30.120 --> 0:34:31.640
<v Speaker 1>And he was a guy that we talked about before

0:34:31.680 --> 0:34:34.800
<v Speaker 1>the season last year who from the first base position

0:34:34.920 --> 0:34:36.880
<v Speaker 1>offers some stolen base upside could have been like a

0:34:36.960 --> 0:34:40.920
<v Speaker 1>fifteen fifteen guy possibly got there, saw some stolen basis

0:34:41.040 --> 0:34:43.400
<v Speaker 1>at the minor league level. Um I really liked his

0:34:43.560 --> 0:34:45.840
<v Speaker 1>eye at the plate at the minor league level consistently

0:34:45.880 --> 0:34:48.719
<v Speaker 1>over ten percent walk right career three sixty one o

0:34:48.840 --> 0:34:52.160
<v Speaker 1>b P and the miners the problem. Here's here's the problem. Greag.

0:34:52.560 --> 0:34:54.799
<v Speaker 1>Last year he hit two oh one at the major

0:34:54.880 --> 0:34:59.799
<v Speaker 1>league level, twenty seven percent strikeout right. Now, you look

0:34:59.840 --> 0:35:01.960
<v Speaker 1>at and and this is where we'll kind of explain

0:35:02.400 --> 0:35:06.160
<v Speaker 1>some of these numbers. Bad it bat is batting average

0:35:06.360 --> 0:35:09.640
<v Speaker 1>on balls in play. It's kind of predictive for actual

0:35:09.760 --> 0:35:13.960
<v Speaker 1>batting average. So he hit two oh one last year,

0:35:14.000 --> 0:35:16.600
<v Speaker 1>were they to fifty two badd And the reason why

0:35:16.640 --> 0:35:18.160
<v Speaker 1>the batting average was much lower than the bat it

0:35:18.280 --> 0:35:20.279
<v Speaker 1>was because he stuck out twenty seven percent of the time.

0:35:20.719 --> 0:35:23.799
<v Speaker 1>But based on his forty heart hit rate. So he's

0:35:23.840 --> 0:35:25.879
<v Speaker 1>hitting the ball hard, but the balls that he's hitting,

0:35:26.520 --> 0:35:30.640
<v Speaker 1>we're not leading to hits based on his two bad

0:35:30.800 --> 0:35:32.680
<v Speaker 1>Why was that? So you look into that and why

0:35:32.800 --> 0:35:35.040
<v Speaker 1>was that happening? He pulled the ball ball fifty one

0:35:35.400 --> 0:35:38.560
<v Speaker 1>of the time. He's a lefty who doesn't hit lefties well,

0:35:38.760 --> 0:35:41.640
<v Speaker 1>who hit won seventy six against lefties, who was getting

0:35:42.560 --> 0:35:45.120
<v Speaker 1>just hitting the ball hard but into the shift all

0:35:45.160 --> 0:35:47.560
<v Speaker 1>the time. This is where baseball is going. And I

0:35:47.640 --> 0:35:49.400
<v Speaker 1>think that's kind of like why you see the Yankees

0:35:49.480 --> 0:35:51.600
<v Speaker 1>not signing a lot of left handed bats is that

0:35:51.719 --> 0:35:54.600
<v Speaker 1>they want an already lineup. It's because it's a little

0:35:54.600 --> 0:35:57.520
<v Speaker 1>bit harder to shift against righties nowadays, and and right

0:35:57.600 --> 0:36:00.479
<v Speaker 1>eass can hit both right e's and left like that's

0:36:00.840 --> 0:36:02.279
<v Speaker 1>the hitters that they're trying like. They bring a guy

0:36:02.320 --> 0:36:04.080
<v Speaker 1>like d J. L. Mayhew, a guy who can hit

0:36:04.120 --> 0:36:06.000
<v Speaker 1>both rights and lefties. And I think that's where baseball

0:36:06.080 --> 0:36:09.359
<v Speaker 1>is going right now, where if you're a lefty, great,

0:36:09.400 --> 0:36:12.640
<v Speaker 1>you hit the ball hard. Look at Jake Bowers, it's

0:36:12.640 --> 0:36:14.279
<v Speaker 1>his first year in the majors and he hit the

0:36:14.320 --> 0:36:16.640
<v Speaker 1>ball hard over the time. It's a very good mark.

0:36:16.920 --> 0:36:18.799
<v Speaker 1>But his bed was to fifty two because he's hitting

0:36:18.800 --> 0:36:21.360
<v Speaker 1>it into the shift every single time, which led to

0:36:21.440 --> 0:36:23.239
<v Speaker 1>a two one batting average, and he struck out a lot.

0:36:23.280 --> 0:36:25.920
<v Speaker 1>So I think that kind of put that opened up

0:36:25.960 --> 0:36:27.759
<v Speaker 1>the eyes of the rais and they're like, this isn't

0:36:27.760 --> 0:36:30.160
<v Speaker 1>gonna work, Like this isn't where baseball is going right now,

0:36:30.239 --> 0:36:32.839
<v Speaker 1>So they try and take a reclamation project of their

0:36:32.880 --> 0:36:36.319
<v Speaker 1>own in the Andandy Diaz, who if they can help

0:36:36.440 --> 0:36:38.000
<v Speaker 1>him learn how to lift the ball a little bit,

0:36:38.080 --> 0:36:40.360
<v Speaker 1>because right now he crushes the ball. He hits the

0:36:40.360 --> 0:36:43.320
<v Speaker 1>ball extremely hard. The problem is it's into the ground

0:36:43.400 --> 0:36:45.280
<v Speaker 1>every single time. He hits a ton of ground balls.

0:36:45.320 --> 0:36:47.720
<v Speaker 1>So if you teach this guy how to hit line drives,

0:36:47.960 --> 0:36:49.680
<v Speaker 1>even line drives, that's all you need for him, and

0:36:49.719 --> 0:36:51.680
<v Speaker 1>then he could potentially be a three hitter and he'll

0:36:51.719 --> 0:36:53.279
<v Speaker 1>he'll hit a ton of doubles, kind of like a

0:36:53.360 --> 0:36:55.320
<v Speaker 1>U leaguerril, Like you get that out of him. And

0:36:55.400 --> 0:36:57.640
<v Speaker 1>if you've seen pictures of Dandy Diaz after the trade,

0:36:58.000 --> 0:37:00.879
<v Speaker 1>this guy is yoked up greg like he he has

0:37:00.960 --> 0:37:02.960
<v Speaker 1>power there, you just kind of need to get it

0:37:03.040 --> 0:37:05.320
<v Speaker 1>out of him. I think that's the way that baseball

0:37:05.400 --> 0:37:07.279
<v Speaker 1>is trending right now. And That's why you see a

0:37:07.360 --> 0:37:09.440
<v Speaker 1>team like the Raids give up on Jake Bauer so earlier.

0:37:10.040 --> 0:37:12.719
<v Speaker 1>Hey there you good? Annousis there from Frank Standfell When

0:37:12.800 --> 0:37:15.240
<v Speaker 1>we come back, there was another Indian that was traded

0:37:16.080 --> 0:37:19.040
<v Speaker 1>to the Indians last offseason. Now it's not like the Braves.

0:37:19.160 --> 0:37:21.160
<v Speaker 1>Let's talk about Josh Donaldton and what we think of

0:37:21.320 --> 0:37:24.319

<v Speaker 1>conflict of Barry Bonds and Roderi Clemens? Once again? Guys do,

0:39:14.440 --> 0:39:16.800
<v Speaker 1>by the way, have never been found guilty of anything,

0:39:16.920 --> 0:39:19.280
<v Speaker 1>have never failed a drug test. How am I supposed

0:39:19.280 --> 0:39:22.000
<v Speaker 1>to take the Hall of Fame seriously without those two

0:39:22.080 --> 0:39:24.839

0:40:31.640 --> 0:40:36.520
<v Speaker 1>the words. I'm happy it was Greg Sussman and producers co. Yeah,

0:40:36.680 --> 0:40:39.239
<v Speaker 1>it's like a little band. Let's make sure band that

0:40:39.320 --> 0:40:41.319

0:41:46.600 --> 0:41:51.000
<v Speaker 1>frank So. In September last year, the Indians traded for

0:41:51.440 --> 0:41:53.880
<v Speaker 1>people killing me the chat that's happening to have a

0:41:53.960 --> 0:42:00.440
<v Speaker 1>bright smile on your right. No one said anything, Greg

0:42:00.800 --> 0:42:04.080
<v Speaker 1>making sure so. Last September, after missing almost the entire

0:42:04.200 --> 0:42:06.920
<v Speaker 1>season with an injury, Josh Donaldson was traded over to

0:42:07.000 --> 0:42:11.280
<v Speaker 1>Cleveland became their starting third basement uh into the playoffs. Ultimately,

0:42:11.360 --> 0:42:14.399
<v Speaker 1>he turned it into a twenty three million dollar one

0:42:14.480 --> 0:42:17.040
<v Speaker 1>year contract with the Atlanta Braves, where he is slated

0:42:17.080 --> 0:42:19.640
<v Speaker 1>to that second I believe in that Braves line up

0:42:19.719 --> 0:42:24.960
<v Speaker 1>directly behind Ronald Kuna. Donaldson one year at age thirty

0:42:25.080 --> 0:42:27.520
<v Speaker 1>three is of starting third basement in Atlanta. Are you

0:42:27.719 --> 0:42:32.480
<v Speaker 1>buying for example, No, okay, I'm not buying Josh Donaldson

0:42:32.560 --> 0:42:34.560
<v Speaker 1>based on his current a DP at ninety nine right

0:42:34.600 --> 0:42:38.239
<v Speaker 1>around pick one. Look, if Josh Donaldson does bounce back

0:42:38.239 --> 0:42:39.920
<v Speaker 1>this year, it's gonna be on somebody else's team. It's

0:42:39.920 --> 0:42:41.759
<v Speaker 1>not gonna be on mine. I don't know that there's

0:42:41.760 --> 0:42:44.680
<v Speaker 1>a player going inside the top one D picks. Maybe

0:42:44.719 --> 0:42:47.080
<v Speaker 1>like Adalbert home Mondessey is one of those guys too,

0:42:47.160 --> 0:42:50.480
<v Speaker 1>who has a wider range of outcomes and possibilities than

0:42:50.600 --> 0:42:53.640
<v Speaker 1>Josh Donaldson. It's just it's hard to look at anything

0:42:53.680 --> 0:42:56.320
<v Speaker 1>he's done last year the past couple of years, and

0:42:56.480 --> 0:42:58.839
<v Speaker 1>kind of build that into your projection for this year,

0:42:58.920 --> 0:43:02.839
<v Speaker 1>because it's all relative to whether or not he's over

0:43:02.960 --> 0:43:06.239
<v Speaker 1>the shoulder injury, because it's obvious that that hampered his

0:43:06.360 --> 0:43:09.520
<v Speaker 1>play last year could easily hamper his play this year

0:43:09.560 --> 0:43:11.080
<v Speaker 1>if that shoulder was still a thing. If you remember

0:43:11.120 --> 0:43:13.000
<v Speaker 1>watching him last year, you couldn't even throw the ball

0:43:13.000 --> 0:43:15.319
<v Speaker 1>across the diamond. He's a third basement. He was three

0:43:15.440 --> 0:43:18.879
<v Speaker 1>hopping the ball to first base. So, um, it's gonna

0:43:18.880 --> 0:43:21.880
<v Speaker 1>be completely health related for Josh Johnson. Is it possible

0:43:21.920 --> 0:43:23.919
<v Speaker 1>that he bounces back and it's to seventy with thirty

0:43:23.960 --> 0:43:26.080
<v Speaker 1>home runs and nine d r B. I, yeah, it's

0:43:26.080 --> 0:43:29.200
<v Speaker 1>certainly possible. What I would would I say it's probable.

0:43:29.280 --> 0:43:32.280
<v Speaker 1>Probably not, I don't. I don't think it's very likely.

0:43:32.480 --> 0:43:35.759
<v Speaker 1>You know, it's just around that range. Um, I'll take

0:43:35.800 --> 0:43:37.279
<v Speaker 1>some of these other guys. You know, we'll get into

0:43:37.320 --> 0:43:39.839
<v Speaker 1>Incarnacion as well, who's on Seattle for now, and he'll

0:43:39.840 --> 0:43:41.960
<v Speaker 1>probably end up somewhere else, but he's going something like

0:43:42.040 --> 0:43:44.880
<v Speaker 1>thirty picks later. I'd rather do that, Like I'd rather

0:43:44.960 --> 0:43:49.200
<v Speaker 1>take the savings the discount on Incarnacione thirty picks later. Um,

0:43:49.400 --> 0:43:51.560
<v Speaker 1>just because I'm pretty sure I know what I'm gonna

0:43:51.560 --> 0:43:55.080
<v Speaker 1>get from Incarnacion at that point, whereas Josh Donaldson, you're

0:43:55.160 --> 0:43:57.960
<v Speaker 1>kind of hoping Josh Donaldson just does what Edwin Incarnacion

0:43:58.040 --> 0:44:00.360
<v Speaker 1>does right, just like with a better batting average. So

0:44:01.120 --> 0:44:04.479
<v Speaker 1>there's just too much risk built into donald Donaldson for me. Greg,

0:44:04.640 --> 0:44:07.759
<v Speaker 1>He's missed hifty nine games over the past few seasons. Yeah,

0:44:09.040 --> 0:44:11.480
<v Speaker 1>it was so good about Josh Donaldson for his m

0:44:11.560 --> 0:44:14.040
<v Speaker 1>VP season and and then a couple of years before

0:44:14.080 --> 0:44:15.920
<v Speaker 1>and after that was he played a hundred fifty five

0:44:15.960 --> 0:44:18.520
<v Speaker 1>games in all four of those seasons one ft eight,

0:44:18.560 --> 0:44:20.600
<v Speaker 1>one ft eight and a hundred fifty five and he

0:44:20.680 --> 0:44:23.400
<v Speaker 1>was uber consistent, hitting about thirty home runs or more

0:44:23.520 --> 0:44:25.360
<v Speaker 1>in all of those seasons. His first two years of

0:44:25.360 --> 0:44:27.120
<v Speaker 1>the Blue Jayson and he was just ridiculous, right with

0:44:27.160 --> 0:44:29.160
<v Speaker 1>all over hundred run scored, over hundred r v i

0:44:29.280 --> 0:44:31.919
<v Speaker 1>s and the average that was very good. Um ov

0:44:32.040 --> 0:44:34.759
<v Speaker 1>P that was even better, and he was fantastic. But

0:44:34.800 --> 0:44:36.840
<v Speaker 1>at thirty three years old now, the injuries have certainly

0:44:36.880 --> 0:44:39.319
<v Speaker 1>seemed to hatch up. I think Frank hit the nail

0:44:39.360 --> 0:44:40.719
<v Speaker 1>on the head and said, hey, when you can get

0:44:40.800 --> 0:44:45.279
<v Speaker 1>Edwin and Carnassion two and three rounds later, and those

0:44:45.360 --> 0:44:47.880
<v Speaker 1>numbers are pretty much what you're hoping. Josh Donaldson gives you,

0:44:48.320 --> 0:44:50.960
<v Speaker 1>why wouldn't you rather have an Edwin and Cornassio. I

0:44:51.080 --> 0:44:54.040
<v Speaker 1>agree with you. I like Eddie, and we've seen that

0:44:54.120 --> 0:44:55.879
<v Speaker 1>if you have legitimate power, as a guy like Edwin

0:44:55.960 --> 0:44:59.239
<v Speaker 1>and Cornasion does, and he does stay in Seattle, it's

0:44:59.280 --> 0:45:01.200
<v Speaker 1>not like a black whole, right Like Nelson Cruise was

0:45:01.239 --> 0:45:05.080
<v Speaker 1>always fine in Seattle. So I think that comparable players too, exactly,

0:45:05.280 --> 0:45:07.000
<v Speaker 1>So I think there is something to say about and

0:45:07.080 --> 0:45:09.840
<v Speaker 1>winning Carnascio, not just completely falling off a cliff himself.

0:45:10.480 --> 0:45:12.320
<v Speaker 1>Josh Donaldson and he's telling me he was going to

0:45:12.360 --> 0:45:14.680
<v Speaker 1>play a hundred and fifty five games. I would buy it.

0:45:14.840 --> 0:45:16.359
<v Speaker 1>I would be, you know, Josh Donaldson. But I think

0:45:16.400 --> 0:45:19.360
<v Speaker 1>the Braves signed him not even expecting that either, because

0:45:19.440 --> 0:45:21.440
<v Speaker 1>they have third base options behind him, like a guy

0:45:21.480 --> 0:45:24.440
<v Speaker 1>like Johan Camargo played very well lest years. So I

0:45:24.520 --> 0:45:26.359
<v Speaker 1>think Josh Donaldson is going to be kind of one

0:45:26.400 --> 0:45:28.960
<v Speaker 1>of these maintenance guys for the Braves, you know, kind

0:45:29.000 --> 0:45:30.680
<v Speaker 1>of close. So like what's going on with Kawhi Leonard

0:45:30.719 --> 0:45:32.480
<v Speaker 1>with the Toronto Raptors right now, maybe not to that

0:45:32.640 --> 0:45:35.200
<v Speaker 1>same extent, but would it surprised me if Josh donald

0:45:35.239 --> 0:45:37.520
<v Speaker 1>is sitting out a game or two per week to

0:45:37.600 --> 0:45:40.839
<v Speaker 1>try and keep him healthy to maximize his value, call

0:45:40.960 --> 0:45:45.360
<v Speaker 1>him Quai why Donaldson? Yeah, they like it. Yeah, I

0:45:45.400 --> 0:45:47.600
<v Speaker 1>mean that's that's my realistic expectation. He's not gonna be

0:45:47.640 --> 0:45:49.200
<v Speaker 1>on my team. He goes off, He's gonna be on

0:45:49.280 --> 0:45:52.000
<v Speaker 1>someone else's team. Why Donaldton is no back to backs?

0:45:52.760 --> 0:45:54.760
<v Speaker 1>No back to backs? Well, it's pretty hard in baseball

0:45:54.760 --> 0:45:56.919
<v Speaker 1>not to play back. That would be an issue for sure.

0:45:57.120 --> 0:46:03.600
<v Speaker 1>Why Leonard by the way, No, and I either drafted

0:46:03.680 --> 0:46:05.719
<v Speaker 1>him in one of my home leagues, greg in a

0:46:05.800 --> 0:46:08.359
<v Speaker 1>weekly league, and it kills you in a weekly league

0:46:08.360 --> 0:46:10.000
<v Speaker 1>because you can't even fill someone else in this spot.

0:46:10.080 --> 0:46:13.320
<v Speaker 1>You have to play him. Like, what's going on with

0:46:13.480 --> 0:46:19.279
<v Speaker 1>Kawai Leonard? He hasn't played to to three games in

0:46:19.280 --> 0:46:22.160
<v Speaker 1>a row now four, I think four in a row.

0:46:22.960 --> 0:46:27.439
<v Speaker 1>They're saying he's expected to return on Friday. But what's

0:46:27.440 --> 0:46:31.480
<v Speaker 1>crazy is the games one of the Raptors don't play him,

0:46:31.600 --> 0:46:35.400
<v Speaker 1>they win, so like it's kind of justified. It, it's

0:46:35.480 --> 0:46:37.840
<v Speaker 1>kind of justified they keep winning games without him, And

0:46:37.880 --> 0:46:40.680
<v Speaker 1>I think that kind of speaks volumes to uh was

0:46:40.680 --> 0:46:43.279
<v Speaker 1>it Nick Nurse there? I think it speaks volumes to

0:46:43.280 --> 0:46:44.680
<v Speaker 1>the job that Nick Nurse has done with this team

0:46:44.719 --> 0:46:47.880
<v Speaker 1>this year in terms of the development with guys like Ascalciackum,

0:46:48.280 --> 0:46:49.920
<v Speaker 1>Sergeibaka has had a bounce back here. I don't know

0:46:49.920 --> 0:46:51.800
<v Speaker 1>how we got into like Kawhi Leonard, but it just

0:46:51.840 --> 0:46:57.120
<v Speaker 1>kind of frustrates me. Why Donald Um anything else. Yeah,

0:46:57.120 --> 0:47:00.799
<v Speaker 1>I have a lot on edwinas and actually twenty six

0:47:01.480 --> 0:47:04.239
<v Speaker 1>a DP right now. Just Baran has first based eligibility.

0:47:04.320 --> 0:47:07.200
<v Speaker 1>Played twenty three games there last year. Since two thousand twelve,

0:47:07.200 --> 0:47:10.040
<v Speaker 1>two hundred sixty three home runs, that's the most in baseball,

0:47:10.600 --> 0:47:13.080
<v Speaker 1>extremely consistent, only hit thirty two last year, but he

0:47:13.080 --> 0:47:15.560
<v Speaker 1>played a hundred and thirty seven games, So if he

0:47:15.600 --> 0:47:17.520
<v Speaker 1>played a hundred and fifty, he's probably still in that

0:47:17.600 --> 0:47:20.400
<v Speaker 1>thirty five thirty six home run range. He is thirty

0:47:20.480 --> 0:47:22.920
<v Speaker 1>six years old, so I understand people who might have

0:47:23.000 --> 0:47:24.440
<v Speaker 1>a bit of a worry, but you're getting a pretty

0:47:24.440 --> 0:47:28.279
<v Speaker 1>big discount on on Anchor Nazi on this year at

0:47:28.360 --> 0:47:31.200
<v Speaker 1>pick you know, a hundred and twenty five, hundred and

0:47:31.320 --> 0:47:34.160
<v Speaker 1>thirty whereas in years passed. Remember last year he took

0:47:34.200 --> 0:47:36.399
<v Speaker 1>him on the four or five swing in fifteen team league,

0:47:36.480 --> 0:47:41.080
<v Speaker 1>so they're you know, you're spending sixty pick sixty five,

0:47:41.200 --> 0:47:43.600
<v Speaker 1>he's going double that, and you know he's a guy

0:47:43.640 --> 0:47:45.640
<v Speaker 1>who has power that it doesn't matter where he goes.

0:47:45.680 --> 0:47:48.440
<v Speaker 1>His power is going to travel. I understand people might

0:47:48.520 --> 0:47:50.920
<v Speaker 1>have uh concerns about him because the average and the

0:47:51.000 --> 0:47:53.520
<v Speaker 1>strikeouts have been going the wrong way three years in

0:47:53.520 --> 0:47:55.120
<v Speaker 1>a row now, and I do think that there's a

0:47:55.200 --> 0:47:57.160
<v Speaker 1>chance at some point that like he could just fall

0:47:57.200 --> 0:47:59.279
<v Speaker 1>off a cliff. I don't think that he's there yet.

0:47:59.320 --> 0:48:01.439
<v Speaker 1>He's one of only four team players last year were

0:48:01.480 --> 0:48:03.439
<v Speaker 1>part of the forty forty club. You remember the forty

0:48:03.719 --> 0:48:07.839
<v Speaker 1>club from last year, Greg hard hit rate, fly ball rate,

0:48:08.000 --> 0:48:11.200
<v Speaker 1>so that means pretty consistently you can expect a favorite

0:48:11.320 --> 0:48:13.720
<v Speaker 1>um a fair amount of home runs from said players.

0:48:13.800 --> 0:48:15.960
<v Speaker 1>So he was one of only fourteen players who have

0:48:16.000 --> 0:48:18.560
<v Speaker 1>a bat atball profile who looked like that. I still

0:48:18.600 --> 0:48:20.239
<v Speaker 1>believe in the power. I think a fair projection for

0:48:20.360 --> 0:48:24.960
<v Speaker 1>him to forty thirty five on runs Andy plus r

0:48:25.000 --> 0:48:27.520
<v Speaker 1>B I S and you're getting that thirty picks later

0:48:27.520 --> 0:48:31.360
<v Speaker 1>and Josh Donaldson, Okay, there you go. Josh Donaldson going earlier,

0:48:32.600 --> 0:48:36.040
<v Speaker 1>stay in Seattle for now, and then Jerry would have

0:48:36.040 --> 0:48:39.239
<v Speaker 1>traded him already. Yeah, he's not gonna get traded before

0:48:39.280 --> 0:48:41.960
<v Speaker 1>spring training or before the season. He could be a

0:48:42.000 --> 0:48:45.960
<v Speaker 1>guy that's moved at like the deadline, or I'm just

0:48:46.000 --> 0:48:48.360
<v Speaker 1>trying to feel not last season Seattle. I'm trying to

0:48:48.440 --> 0:48:51.640
<v Speaker 1>figure out if I'm worried enough about the Mariners line

0:48:51.680 --> 0:48:54.120
<v Speaker 1>up to the point where it affects Hanniger. Because I

0:48:54.239 --> 0:48:56.600
<v Speaker 1>was the fair question. I was debating taking Haneger last

0:48:56.640 --> 0:48:58.319
<v Speaker 1>night in its Best Ball Draft as my outfield too.

0:48:58.320 --> 0:49:00.360
<v Speaker 1>I ended up going with Tommy Fam instead. You like

0:49:00.480 --> 0:49:03.480
<v Speaker 1>Tommy Fam. Pretty excited about Tommy Fam this year. He's

0:49:03.480 --> 0:49:05.799
<v Speaker 1>a guy who just crosses the ball, hits it extremely hard,

0:49:06.400 --> 0:49:08.480
<v Speaker 1>and he does walk a lot as well, also strikes

0:49:08.480 --> 0:49:10.640
<v Speaker 1>out a decent bit. But Man, based on what he

0:49:10.680 --> 0:49:12.680
<v Speaker 1>did with Tampa Bay last year, doesn't have to worry

0:49:12.680 --> 0:49:14.560
<v Speaker 1>about being on the Cardinals this year, worrying about when

0:49:14.560 --> 0:49:16.680
<v Speaker 1>he's gonna play. He's gonna play every single day with

0:49:16.800 --> 0:49:19.920
<v Speaker 1>the Tampa Bay Ray. So I took Fam over Haneger,

0:49:19.960 --> 0:49:22.120
<v Speaker 1>but I was debating those two guys. Ennagar did a

0:49:22.200 --> 0:49:25.320
<v Speaker 1>lot of great things last year. But should we worry

0:49:25.320 --> 0:49:27.600
<v Speaker 1>about the Mariners lineup? Greg on paper, I don't think

0:49:27.600 --> 0:49:29.719
<v Speaker 1>it's as bad. It's kind of crazy. Just looking at

0:49:29.800 --> 0:49:31.480
<v Speaker 1>Tommy Fam for just the second now, I was like

0:49:32.000 --> 0:49:33.560
<v Speaker 1>he was looking at hard hit right, and obviously he

0:49:33.640 --> 0:49:37.600
<v Speaker 1>was very high up there. Um, but I remember people

0:49:37.640 --> 0:49:39.640
<v Speaker 1>being disappointed with Tommy Fam. Maybe he's just the Cardinals

0:49:39.640 --> 0:49:41.680
<v Speaker 1>being disappointed. He literally had the same exact year the

0:49:41.760 --> 0:49:44.000
<v Speaker 1>year before, like you had ten less stolen basis, but

0:49:44.040 --> 0:49:47.640
<v Speaker 1>everything else is literally the same. It's crazy. Yeah, and

0:49:47.680 --> 0:49:49.360
<v Speaker 1>he steals bases. You want to talk about trying to

0:49:49.400 --> 0:49:52.439
<v Speaker 1>find stolen bases. It's fans of a guy who's gonna

0:49:52.480 --> 0:49:57.640
<v Speaker 1>be what where's he hitting? Um yeah, I'll probably hit

0:49:57.680 --> 0:49:59.440
<v Speaker 1>at the top, you know, first or second in the lineup,

0:49:59.480 --> 0:50:01.439
<v Speaker 1>just based on much he walks. I think that's fair.

0:50:02.040 --> 0:50:03.239
<v Speaker 1>I don't. I don't know if he'll be in the

0:50:03.280 --> 0:50:04.920
<v Speaker 1>middle of that lineup. I do think a guy like

0:50:05.440 --> 0:50:08.280
<v Speaker 1>g Man joys in the middle of the Raised lineup.

0:50:08.640 --> 0:50:12.440
<v Speaker 1>As of now, they have Kevin Kiermyer, Tommy Fam, Joey Wendell,

0:50:12.480 --> 0:50:17.120
<v Speaker 1>Absale Garcia who was just I love, and then towards

0:50:17.120 --> 0:50:18.360
<v Speaker 1>the bottom of the line up, you do have some

0:50:18.480 --> 0:50:22.560
<v Speaker 1>upside place here. William Domas batting six, Austin Meadows batting seventh.

0:50:22.680 --> 0:50:25.560
<v Speaker 1>So some interesting names here for the Tampa Bay race, definitely,

0:50:25.560 --> 0:50:28.520
<v Speaker 1>and they trained for Mike's Nino speaking man. They're one

0:50:28.520 --> 0:50:31.000
<v Speaker 1>of these teams that, like, when everyone is doing one thing,

0:50:31.360 --> 0:50:33.400
<v Speaker 1>you just go the other way. It's crazy. Speaking of

0:50:33.520 --> 0:50:36.680
<v Speaker 1>interesting names, the other Braves before we move off of them,

0:50:36.920 --> 0:50:39.080
<v Speaker 1>they let a Braves resigned one on our own yesterday,

0:50:39.160 --> 0:50:41.960
<v Speaker 1>resetting Nick Markekes for one years, six million dollars and

0:50:42.160 --> 0:50:46.080
<v Speaker 1>taking themselves out of the running for Bryce Harpor. Markekres

0:50:46.080 --> 0:50:48.279
<v Speaker 1>made the first All Star team of his career last year,

0:50:48.440 --> 0:50:51.160
<v Speaker 1>but there were resurgence in Atlanta. Good clubhouse guy, more

0:50:51.200 --> 0:50:54.160
<v Speaker 1>importantly as a good fantasy guy last year. For years

0:50:54.200 --> 0:50:56.520
<v Speaker 1>people have slept the Markakas. I know Floria was publing

0:50:56.560 --> 0:50:58.719
<v Speaker 1>him out last year. Say hey and points league, this

0:50:58.840 --> 0:51:00.799
<v Speaker 1>guy's good. He doesn't strike out, he makes a lot

0:51:00.840 --> 0:51:04.399
<v Speaker 1>of content, and he was great early on in the season.

0:51:04.400 --> 0:51:05.759
<v Speaker 1>It looked like he was kind of buying into like

0:51:05.840 --> 0:51:07.879
<v Speaker 1>hitting more flyballs and trying to hit for more power

0:51:08.040 --> 0:51:11.000
<v Speaker 1>and hit home runs. But it kind of it tailed off.

0:51:11.120 --> 0:51:12.640
<v Speaker 1>It tailed off in a big way. In the second half.

0:51:12.680 --> 0:51:15.239
<v Speaker 1>Like second half, Nick Markekeus was classic market because great

0:51:15.239 --> 0:51:17.840
<v Speaker 1>batting average. Again, makes a lot of contact, but just

0:51:18.040 --> 0:51:21.440
<v Speaker 1>not enough power or anything else really to sustain value

0:51:21.480 --> 0:51:23.720
<v Speaker 1>in a rotissary league. In the points league gets different

0:51:23.760 --> 0:51:26.040
<v Speaker 1>because he doesn't strike out, so you don't lose points

0:51:26.080 --> 0:51:28.480
<v Speaker 1>for that. He has good plate discipline, he still walks,

0:51:28.560 --> 0:51:31.000
<v Speaker 1>he hits a lot of doubles. So for all those reasons,

0:51:31.160 --> 0:51:32.960
<v Speaker 1>and you know he HiT's in a good lineup with

0:51:33.000 --> 0:51:35.120
<v Speaker 1>the Atlanta Braves, so for all those reasons, he's still

0:51:35.200 --> 0:51:38.320
<v Speaker 1>fine for points leagues. I think the biggest takeaway and

0:51:38.719 --> 0:51:41.920
<v Speaker 1>what kind of influences fantasy most here with the with

0:51:42.000 --> 0:51:44.960
<v Speaker 1>the resigning of Nick Markekus is yesterday it was announced

0:51:45.040 --> 0:51:47.520
<v Speaker 1>via David O'Brien, beat writer for the Atlanta Braves, that

0:51:48.719 --> 0:51:52.880
<v Speaker 1>uh Snitker, the manager of the Braves, is leaning towards

0:51:52.920 --> 0:51:56.760
<v Speaker 1>a lineup with ender Incrte, Josh Donaldson, Freddie Freeman, Akuna

0:51:57.080 --> 0:52:02.120
<v Speaker 1>Akuna and then markeks fifth And why is that so

0:52:02.440 --> 0:52:05.520
<v Speaker 1>influential in Fantasy baseball? Last year, Ronald Qunia did most

0:52:05.560 --> 0:52:07.640
<v Speaker 1>of his damage as a leadoff hitter for the Atlanta Braves.

0:52:07.680 --> 0:52:10.120
<v Speaker 1>He had a one thousand, forty three ops as the

0:52:10.200 --> 0:52:12.920
<v Speaker 1>leadoff hitter of the Braves. Fourteen of his sixteen stolen

0:52:12.960 --> 0:52:16.000
<v Speaker 1>bases came in that leadoff spot, whereas in all the

0:52:16.080 --> 0:52:18.719
<v Speaker 1>other um spots in the line, if he only had

0:52:18.719 --> 0:52:21.440
<v Speaker 1>two stolen bases, and his OPS was much better as

0:52:21.480 --> 0:52:24.000
<v Speaker 1>a leadoff hitter than everywhere else. So as of right now,

0:52:24.040 --> 0:52:25.880
<v Speaker 1>it looks like a Conia is gonna bat clean up

0:52:25.960 --> 0:52:28.200
<v Speaker 1>for the Braves, which might limit his stolen base ups.

0:52:28.640 --> 0:52:31.480
<v Speaker 1>All right, good, good little tibet there from Frankie Stanford.

0:52:31.560 --> 0:52:33.440

<v Speaker 1>Frenzy comes your way. Next, Core's Parson Gym Day and

0:52:47.840 --> 0:52:51.280
<v Speaker 1>Chris Venture. We go another four minutes or so here, Frankie,

0:52:51.280 --> 0:52:52.920
<v Speaker 1>I know we want to talk about Daniel Murphy, but

0:52:53.000 --> 0:52:55.360
<v Speaker 1>is there anything else with the because Phillies are, the Braves,

0:52:55.400 --> 0:52:57.759
<v Speaker 1>are the Mariners, the Indians and the else you wanted

0:52:57.800 --> 0:52:59.640
<v Speaker 1>to hit on those kind of four teams where we

0:53:00.080 --> 0:53:04.000
<v Speaker 1>circled around the uh No. Just again, touching on the

0:53:04.080 --> 0:53:07.920
<v Speaker 1>Mariner's lineup, I'm currently weighing whether I think it's good enough.

0:53:08.080 --> 0:53:11.520
<v Speaker 1>I personally, I do think it's I think it's okay.

0:53:11.680 --> 0:53:13.840
<v Speaker 1>Like they have Malex Smith, they still have d Gordon,

0:53:14.320 --> 0:53:16.719
<v Speaker 1>they have Mitch Haniger, they have Kyle Seger, they have

0:53:16.800 --> 0:53:20.000
<v Speaker 1>any Carnacione for now. I don't think the Mariners line

0:53:20.040 --> 0:53:22.239
<v Speaker 1>up is as bad as like at first glance, Like

0:53:22.320 --> 0:53:25.000
<v Speaker 1>if you assume that they're going to trade Incarnacion away,

0:53:25.880 --> 0:53:28.320
<v Speaker 1>I get it, But I do think the Mariners lineup

0:53:28.360 --> 0:53:31.319
<v Speaker 1>could be okay. That was one of the main takeaways here.

0:53:31.880 --> 0:53:34.120
<v Speaker 1>Spoke about the Tampa Bay Ray's lineup a little bit

0:53:34.400 --> 0:53:39.600
<v Speaker 1>with Yandy Diaz. Yandy Diaz as of right now, I

0:53:39.680 --> 0:53:41.960
<v Speaker 1>think they have him starting in the minor leagues, but

0:53:42.160 --> 0:53:44.279
<v Speaker 1>they do not have him on the major league So

0:53:44.360 --> 0:53:47.040
<v Speaker 1>they have right now on Rosster Reachars. I'd be surprised.

0:53:47.520 --> 0:53:50.880
<v Speaker 1>I think I'd be surprised if he's not starting somewhere

0:53:50.960 --> 0:53:54.000
<v Speaker 1>for the Raises here, whether it's third base or first

0:53:54.040 --> 0:53:56.560
<v Speaker 1>base or designated hit it we'll not designated here because

0:53:56.560 --> 0:54:00.279
<v Speaker 1>they signed Garcia for reasons, but I'd be surprised if

0:54:00.320 --> 0:54:04.000
<v Speaker 1>they don't. If Yondi Diaz is not up there, they're

0:54:04.080 --> 0:54:06.400
<v Speaker 1>probably maybe they'll take some time in the minors to

0:54:06.719 --> 0:54:09.640
<v Speaker 1>kind of work out these kinks and kind of do

0:54:09.800 --> 0:54:11.600
<v Speaker 1>whatever they want to do to his swing in order

0:54:11.680 --> 0:54:13.239
<v Speaker 1>for him to like get a little bit more lift

0:54:13.280 --> 0:54:14.680
<v Speaker 1>in that swing. So me, you know, we see him

0:54:14.680 --> 0:54:16.719
<v Speaker 1>a little bit later on, but I mean, he's going

0:54:17.160 --> 0:54:20.320
<v Speaker 1>like the four right now in a DP Andy dazn't

0:54:20.560 --> 0:54:22.279
<v Speaker 1>He's an opportunity to talk about you guy, Charlie Morton,

0:54:23.080 --> 0:54:25.759
<v Speaker 1>Robie Moon. I haven't really looked into Charlie Morton. Frank

0:54:25.800 --> 0:54:27.239
<v Speaker 1>has asked me for like four days in a row,

0:54:27.320 --> 0:54:30.000
<v Speaker 1>can we talking about Charlie Morton? And and because you

0:54:30.120 --> 0:54:32.040
<v Speaker 1>keep shooting me down, I haven't been able to like

0:54:32.120 --> 0:54:34.239
<v Speaker 1>really done a deep dive on Charlie Morton yet. The

0:54:34.280 --> 0:54:36.480
<v Speaker 1>biggest thing with Charlie Morton he goes over to the

0:54:36.520 --> 0:54:38.960
<v Speaker 1>Tampa Bay Rays, who obviously got the most out of

0:54:38.960 --> 0:54:41.040
<v Speaker 1>blakes now he was a sy Young Award winner last year.

0:54:41.239 --> 0:54:44.400
<v Speaker 1>They got the most out of their openers. You might

0:54:44.440 --> 0:54:52.080
<v Speaker 1>says they're openers. They're they're openers. I mean, it's not

0:54:52.200 --> 0:54:55.440
<v Speaker 1>like a opener is not a legit term. They made it.

0:54:55.600 --> 0:54:57.920
<v Speaker 1>They made it a thing. That's why it's not the thing.

0:54:58.640 --> 0:55:00.640
<v Speaker 1>Closer wasn't the thing until it was a thing. Yeah,

0:55:01.160 --> 0:55:02.960
<v Speaker 1>we'll see if opener is more of a thing this year.

0:55:04.000 --> 0:55:06.080
<v Speaker 1>They don't go out and sign to Charlie Morton because

0:55:06.080 --> 0:55:08.400
<v Speaker 1>they want more openers. No, no, Charlie Morton will be

0:55:08.480 --> 0:55:10.759
<v Speaker 1>opener ne Bake Snell. But right now the question will

0:55:10.760 --> 0:55:14.279
<v Speaker 1>be with Tyler glassnow being Tyler glassnow get an opener? Oh,

0:55:14.480 --> 0:55:19.279
<v Speaker 1>Ryan Yarbro and Ryan Yarrow and had openers all season long. Um,

0:55:19.360 --> 0:55:22.520
<v Speaker 1>it'll be interesting to see what happens when guys like um,

0:55:22.840 --> 0:55:28.680
<v Speaker 1>Brent honey wellcome back, when guys like Brity back last year. Right, Yeah,

0:55:28.719 --> 0:55:32.320
<v Speaker 1>he was cheating year. He is terrible. Had he traded

0:55:32.360 --> 0:55:35.560
<v Speaker 1>for you, I don't think he was. He's not on

0:55:35.680 --> 0:55:39.400
<v Speaker 1>the team anymore. He's still on the rate him in

0:55:39.480 --> 0:55:43.399
<v Speaker 1>the minor leagues. So they getting Brent Honeywell back, they're

0:55:43.400 --> 0:55:46.600
<v Speaker 1>getting Hojsie da Leone back, and they got Anthony Banda back,

0:55:46.680 --> 0:55:48.359
<v Speaker 1>three guys they wanted to be starting pictures for them.

0:55:48.520 --> 0:55:51.040
<v Speaker 1>So it happens ultimately, Yeah, I don't think the opener

0:55:51.160 --> 0:55:52.520
<v Speaker 1>was like a long term thing. I think they were

0:55:52.560 --> 0:55:55.480
<v Speaker 1>just I don't know, find ways last year. It's very interesting,

0:55:55.520 --> 0:55:57.319
<v Speaker 1>It's very was very successus. I need to figure out

0:55:57.360 --> 0:56:00.920
<v Speaker 1>what Charlie Morton is. What the the adjustments that the

0:56:00.960 --> 0:56:03.520
<v Speaker 1>Houston Astros made to him as a starting pitcher, will

0:56:03.520 --> 0:56:06.080
<v Speaker 1>they translate to another team. I don't think he's just

0:56:06.160 --> 0:56:08.600
<v Speaker 1>gonna forget everything that he learned while he was with Houston,

0:56:08.920 --> 0:56:13.680
<v Speaker 1>because Houston's very They're always hard as you can fastball velocity,

0:56:14.040 --> 0:56:16.239
<v Speaker 1>the spin rate on the curveball, so on and so forth.

0:56:16.320 --> 0:56:19.000
<v Speaker 1>But you know, is he gonna is he gonna have

0:56:19.080 --> 0:56:22.560
<v Speaker 1>the right stuff greg to get that spin right back,

0:56:22.800 --> 0:56:25.400
<v Speaker 1>because you know, guys like Trevor Bauer speculate that the

0:56:25.480 --> 0:56:28.520
<v Speaker 1>Astros have kind of hidden substance that they use to

0:56:28.640 --> 0:56:31.359
<v Speaker 1>get that spin rate. I think it'll be interesting, man,

0:56:31.400 --> 0:56:32.920
<v Speaker 1>So I gotta look into that a little bit more.

0:56:33.000 --> 0:56:36.000
<v Speaker 1>Jalen Beaks another name to pay attention to. They traded

0:56:36.040 --> 0:56:39.640
<v Speaker 1>for Jalen Beaks last year that Eovaldi trade from Boston,

0:56:39.719 --> 0:56:41.920
<v Speaker 1>who performed very well in the minors as a starting

0:56:41.960 --> 0:56:44.080
<v Speaker 1>pitcher and now comes in here. He was kind of

0:56:44.160 --> 0:56:46.640
<v Speaker 1>used as that like they would have an opener and

0:56:46.680 --> 0:56:48.239
<v Speaker 1>then he would pitch like three or four innings, so

0:56:48.280 --> 0:56:50.120
<v Speaker 1>they were using him in that way. I think he's

0:56:50.160 --> 0:56:52.080
<v Speaker 1>another name to pay attention to as well. With that,

0:56:52.280 --> 0:56:54.600
<v Speaker 1>we say goodbye for now the Fantasy people. Both Frenzies

0:56:54.719 --> 0:56:57.719
<v Speaker 1>up next, Corey Parson, Jim Day, Chris Bentro, and they'll

0:56:57.760 --> 0:57:00.239
<v Speaker 1>have you covered for the next hour or show over.

0:57:00.239 --> 0:57:03.040
<v Speaker 1>Franky stanfil I'm Gregg Sousman, Dr A. We'll join us

0:57:03.080 --> 0:57:05.279
<v Speaker 1>tomorrow on the programs. Look forward to that. Have a

0:57:05.440 --> 0:57:08.360
<v Speaker 1>great afternoon. We'll see tomorrow, we hope.
