Here are the 0:01:04.680 --> 0:01:08.760 Fantasy Sports Radio Network alongside Freggie staff Well, I am 0:01:08.880 --> 0:01:15.600 Gregg Gregg. A happy Tuesday. I got a little Game 0:01:15.640 --> 0:01:18.280 of Thrones trail out there, so that was a nice little, uh, 0:01:18.480 --> 0:01:21.840 nice little morning today. Happy about that. You know where 0:01:21.840 --> 0:01:23.720 we're at in the in the time of year. This 0:01:23.760 --> 0:01:26.240 is every year we hit this point, Greg, where it's 0:01:26.240 --> 0:01:28.480 spring training is going on. You're watching some of these 0:01:28.520 --> 0:01:32.000 games and you see the sun beating down the weather 0:01:32.080 --> 0:01:34.560 looks great. Like we're at that time right now where 0:01:35.600 --> 0:01:37.959 although it's only March, and like we're basically in the 0:01:38.000 --> 0:01:41.000 middle of winter. It feels like windows should be over 0:01:41.760 --> 0:01:43.640 at least, That's how I feel. So I'm getting out 0:01:43.640 --> 0:01:47.800 of like bed today, and you know, come outside degree point. 0:01:48.520 --> 0:01:51.680 This is the time where you know, things gotta start 0:01:51.680 --> 0:01:53.560 to rush a little bit right about now. So and 0:01:53.560 --> 0:01:56.000 then we always get like one more snowstorm, we do. 0:01:56.120 --> 0:01:59.720 You're absolutely right. And I will say this because I've 0:02:00.040 --> 0:02:01.800 I look in the city for for a little while now, 0:02:02.160 --> 0:02:06.440 and like I remember being like absolutely frozen walking to work. 0:02:06.480 --> 0:02:08.440 I can't feel your face, can't feel your ears, can't 0:02:08.440 --> 0:02:12.280 feel her anything. And I've only felt like that this 0:02:12.400 --> 0:02:16.080 year once or twice. Like it hasn't been a brutally 0:02:16.280 --> 0:02:21.720 bad winter of act insanely insanely cold temperature, but it 0:02:21.800 --> 0:02:24.320 just feels it's gone for a while, like did You're 0:02:24.360 --> 0:02:26.280 right about that. You're right about that. It hasn't been 0:02:26.360 --> 0:02:29.799 a brutal winter, Like we have some snow on the 0:02:29.800 --> 0:02:32.959 ground right now, but we haven't been like blasted. That's 0:02:33.000 --> 0:02:37.400 why I like everything evens out right Murphy's law, like 0:02:37.400 --> 0:02:40.600 we're gonna get blasted again before like March is over 0:02:41.240 --> 0:02:44.040 at least, I feel like that isn't that Newton's law 0:02:44.360 --> 0:02:47.440 You're trying to think Newton's law, what's Murphy's law? And 0:02:47.560 --> 0:02:50.680 looking up, I'm not sure like you're talking about like 0:02:51.200 --> 0:02:53.520 I think you're talking about Newton's law. That's what you're 0:02:53.520 --> 0:02:56.800 referring to. Right, anything that can go wrong, we'll go 0:02:56.880 --> 0:02:59.560 wrong with Murphy's law. Which law. That's how you're trying, 0:02:59.600 --> 0:03:03.679 that's how you're first everything every action will have an 0:03:03.880 --> 0:03:07.640 equal opposite reaction. I thought everything evens out right. Yeah, 0:03:07.720 --> 0:03:11.799 that's that's new. There's too many laws, all right, we 0:03:11.960 --> 0:03:14.480 just laid that on the table right now. Too many laws. 0:03:15.120 --> 0:03:19.840 Murphy's law is still kind of applicable to me. Is 0:03:19.880 --> 0:03:23.400 an adage or epigram that is typically stated as anything 0:03:23.400 --> 0:03:25.400 that can go wrong will go wrong. So there you go. 0:03:25.520 --> 0:03:27.960 That's not like we're talking No, it's exactly what I meant. 0:03:28.360 --> 0:03:30.800 You know, we're talking about there's no snow on the 0:03:30.800 --> 0:03:32.480 ground that it hasn't been a bad winter through, which 0:03:32.520 --> 0:03:34.680 means everything is about to go wrong. Greg, we hope 0:03:34.680 --> 0:03:36.600 we're not on the fantasy baseball drafts. By the way, 0:03:37.240 --> 0:03:41.560 two weeks from tonight is our GST draft, which will 0:03:41.560 --> 0:03:44.200 only be part of if you pay Adams, Yes, anybody, 0:03:45.000 --> 0:03:46.280 I mean, why don't I don't. I don't used to. 0:03:46.640 --> 0:03:49.120 I don't know. I said, you're like the highest ranking 0:03:49.120 --> 0:03:53.080 official like myself, Michael Florio. What's the difference. We're all 0:03:53.080 --> 0:03:55.960 pay equally. I know, but so it's different. You're responsible 0:03:57.200 --> 0:03:59.880 like I don't. I really don't. If I can you Kin, 0:04:00.080 --> 0:04:01.880 just Ben move you the money and you can PayPal. 0:04:02.040 --> 0:04:05.280 I I did that last year. What's the difference, Well, 0:04:05.960 --> 0:04:09.320 I didn't. I told you my duty. I told you 0:04:08.880 --> 0:04:15.320 I paid. Are you pay both? Wow? What can't Florida 0:04:15.440 --> 0:04:19.920 do it? Great question? Get him on the line, Floria, 0:04:19.960 --> 0:04:22.239 if you're listening. Is it gonna be from a urinal again? 0:04:22.360 --> 0:04:24.520 I don't need you. I don't need to get the bathroom. Hey, 0:04:24.880 --> 0:04:28.760 I like Kyle Andricks more than cold hamals. I don't 0:04:28.760 --> 0:04:31.279 need like I don't need. I'm just like the PayPal. 0:04:31.279 --> 0:04:32.560 I don't money in the account. I don't want to 0:04:32.560 --> 0:04:35.120 think about it. That's all it is. It's just it's easier. 0:04:36.080 --> 0:04:39.000 There's like too many money apps now cash kind I 0:04:39.040 --> 0:04:41.960 don't get I get caught up too much constantly, like 0:04:42.040 --> 0:04:45.560 moving money around in and out of bank accounts. It's annoying, 0:04:46.279 --> 0:04:50.240 thistles money, having a cold hard cash. Everyone's rid of it. 0:04:50.320 --> 0:04:53.160 Man like stadiums game. He's cash stadiums anymore. It's crazy. 0:04:53.440 --> 0:04:55.400 Speaking of stadiums, I was at the NET game last night. 0:04:55.400 --> 0:04:59.000 You see some Dirk You not how to? I mean 0:04:59.040 --> 0:05:00.279 I didn't even know if she was there. How how 0:05:00.360 --> 0:05:03.800 was I supposed to know? Greg? Where is big time? 0:05:03.839 --> 0:05:06.839 She's too big? So yeah, I didn't know she was there. 0:05:07.240 --> 0:05:10.720 I ended up on the nets broadcast, had no idea 0:05:09.800 --> 0:05:12.400 between and they just saw you on TV. It's pretty cool. 0:05:12.960 --> 0:05:14.680 They were probably doing that thing where they show everyone 0:05:14.720 --> 0:05:17.000 who's like paying respect to dirt because everyone, like everyone 0:05:17.240 --> 0:05:19.719 was standing up with their phones out, Like I thought, 0:05:19.720 --> 0:05:22.760 there's a forty point game, and and cried the entire 0:05:22.800 --> 0:05:25.560 crowd is changing like m v P for Dirk whenever 0:05:25.600 --> 0:05:28.680 he touches the ball. I thought more broken was died. 0:05:28.760 --> 0:05:32.120 I thought they were showing. They were just showing the 0:05:32.160 --> 0:05:34.120 celebrities are at the game, which why they showed you. 0:05:34.800 --> 0:05:37.320 Oh yeah that's too Yeah they showed it. They showed 0:05:37.320 --> 0:05:38.920 a Rod on the big screen. He was there at 0:05:38.920 --> 0:05:40.400 the game. He was front row. I mean they showed me, 0:05:40.440 --> 0:05:44.960 how are your seats nomen awesome? And I was like 0:05:45.000 --> 0:05:49.040 ten rows behind, Like that's awesome. Sick was right in 0:05:49.080 --> 0:05:51.039 the middle of the court too. And how about this 0:05:51.080 --> 0:05:56.040 gig unlimited food, unlimited food. I didn't take enough advantage 0:05:56.040 --> 0:05:59.280 of it. I mean I did. I had bonless Buffalo wings, 0:05:59.640 --> 0:06:03.880 Nathan's fries, very good, unlimited, not unlimited booze. She made 0:06:03.880 --> 0:06:05.800 sure that she stressed that. She's like, we can't give 0:06:05.800 --> 0:06:11.599 you unlimited drinks, so yes, and not alcoholic beverage. That's great, 0:06:12.040 --> 0:06:13.680 we need to We probably do that again before the 0:06:13.760 --> 0:06:15.480 end of the season, but like I should go this 0:06:15.520 --> 0:06:23.120 time in what there was excuse brother, um, all right, 0:06:23.200 --> 0:06:25.559 I love that about the nets and the Mavericks and whatnot. 0:06:25.680 --> 0:06:28.280 Let's let's do what people are here for, which is 0:06:28.279 --> 0:06:31.159 some of these late rast staring pictures. So, as promised, 0:06:31.160 --> 0:06:33.240 Florio sent me his point in league rankings. I'm giving 0:06:33.279 --> 0:06:35.839 him full credit for this, but I have then taken 0:06:35.920 --> 0:06:38.839 his rankings and separated it into my own rankings, moving 0:06:38.839 --> 0:06:40.880 people up and down, color coding it as I do. 0:06:41.080 --> 0:06:44.120 And as I turned my computer around Greg Selsman's rankings 0:06:44.480 --> 0:06:48.480 boom available on Venmo absolutely for a small fee that 0:06:48.520 --> 0:06:51.559 will be about one cent less than Chris Venter's charging. 0:06:52.800 --> 0:06:58.440 Whatever that is to be perfectly, honest, I'm not ready. 0:06:58.880 --> 0:07:01.599 I don't know later it was great. So anyway, Yeah, 0:07:01.640 --> 0:07:04.240 so we have talked a lot about rankings, and I've 0:07:04.279 --> 0:07:07.560 tried to use that to move guys up and down 0:07:07.560 --> 0:07:09.360 to my board based on like guys I like. Obviously 0:07:09.360 --> 0:07:11.520 Floria has his own ranks and franks his own rankings, 0:07:11.640 --> 0:07:14.520 but I wanted to be prepared. I wanted to um, 0:07:14.600 --> 0:07:16.400 I have my own rankings for own reasons. So here 0:07:16.440 --> 0:07:20.320 they are, once again polar coded, as I do all rankings. 0:07:20.320 --> 0:07:22.720 It's pretty cool, right, we're doing a great job, gregs funny. 0:07:23.360 --> 0:07:25.120 Can we dive into second rankings? Let's do it right now, 0:07:25.200 --> 0:07:27.960 let's get right in the story pictures, shall I? We shall? 0:07:28.240 --> 0:07:30.600 All right? So we we've hit problems. I don't Actually, 0:07:31.040 --> 0:07:34.120 here's the one problem with my rankings. I don't have 0:07:34.160 --> 0:07:37.160 like numbers next to them, like who the first, second, 0:07:37.200 --> 0:07:38.960 and third, Like, I don't have any of those. It's 0:07:38.960 --> 0:07:40.440 just an order of the guys that I like it. 0:07:41.200 --> 0:07:44.840 So we got through what thirty forty story pictures already 0:07:44.920 --> 0:07:47.400 something like that? Yeah, I think we ended around like 0:07:47.520 --> 0:07:52.120 Robbie Ray David Price is yesterday, which is right around me. Okay, 0:07:52.280 --> 0:07:54.440 so this whole tier. I feel like we we kind 0:07:54.440 --> 0:07:58.040 of hit um, it's here right after it's here. Five. 0:07:59.000 --> 0:08:04.240 Haven't really talked about the guy who uh ed Wara, Rodriguez, Valdi, 0:08:04.360 --> 0:08:07.560 like we brought their names up, Nick Pavetta, Joe must Grove, 0:08:08.680 --> 0:08:12.000 Andrew Heeney. That's really like, those are the hype guys 0:08:12.040 --> 0:08:16.000 this year? Yeah, so I have those guys all kind 0:08:16.000 --> 0:08:19.240 of similar. Um, some of her in my tier five, 0:08:19.280 --> 0:08:21.320 some of her in my Tier six. Just how I'm 0:08:21.360 --> 0:08:24.200 broken it up. Um, But if you want to start 0:08:24.240 --> 0:08:27.200 with Rodriguez and Bieber and Pavetta, we could go into 0:08:27.200 --> 0:08:32.040 that if that's cool. Alright, So I have Beeber higher 0:08:32.080 --> 0:08:35.679 as well. But going into draft season, when I asked 0:08:35.720 --> 0:08:37.640 Frank a, right, who the hype guys this year? Let's 0:08:37.720 --> 0:08:39.760 really have one of the first conversations I asked before 0:08:39.760 --> 0:08:43.040 I looked at the ranking, before I studied anything, who 0:08:43.040 --> 0:08:46.160 were this year's hype guys? And the two answers he 0:08:46.200 --> 0:08:49.600 gave me were Shane Bieber and Nick Pavetta. We've talked 0:08:49.640 --> 0:08:51.839 a lot about Shane Bieber and what's good with him, 0:08:51.840 --> 0:08:54.480 and you look at every advanced metrick. He doesn't walk. 0:08:54.480 --> 0:08:57.440 Anybody strikes a ton of guys out. He's gonna be awesome. 0:08:57.480 --> 0:09:01.200 Like I love Shane Beeber. This year, Um, everything in 0:09:01.200 --> 0:09:03.320 the minors has been consistent. We give you the Dians pedigree. 0:09:03.360 --> 0:09:04.599 We's talk a lot about Shane Baber. I don't I 0:09:04.600 --> 0:09:06.520 don't think we need to go with Beaver. But the 0:09:06.559 --> 0:09:08.959 other guy we talked that he gave to me besides 0:09:08.960 --> 0:09:12.079 Shane Beaver Biever was Nick Pavetta. And this one was 0:09:12.120 --> 0:09:14.640 kind of a prize to me, just on the surface, 0:09:14.720 --> 0:09:17.440 like Pavetta, like I've heard his name banded about for 0:09:17.480 --> 0:09:19.760 a while. You look at Philly, it's not a great ballpark. 0:09:19.880 --> 0:09:24.680 Obviously you have Arietta there, you have arian Nola there. 0:09:24.800 --> 0:09:28.800 Of course, um you have my man. Did Evelasquez there 0:09:29.080 --> 0:09:32.599 my man? And it's like, okay, I like LASKI. I 0:09:32.600 --> 0:09:35.640 always leave Nivelaska working with a mental health coach in 0:09:35.640 --> 0:09:39.240 the off season. I got. I moved them up, and 0:09:39.000 --> 0:09:40.520 I don't think to move him up high enough. To 0:09:40.520 --> 0:09:42.640 be honest with you, I love Evelaska and move to 0:09:42.640 --> 0:09:44.719 another tier. This is this is the best part of 0:09:44.840 --> 0:09:46.960 having rankings. I can move backs up and down. I 0:09:46.960 --> 0:09:50.400 will agree with what Modica said, is drafting right now 0:09:50.840 --> 0:09:52.319 you know, if you do some Best Ball drafts or 0:09:52.320 --> 0:09:54.400 even mock drafts, that's how you figure out how to 0:09:54.480 --> 0:09:57.280 rank players, Because when you're actually on the spot and 0:09:57.320 --> 0:09:58.960 you have to decide, oh, do I want you know 0:09:59.080 --> 0:10:01.520 Nick Pavetto, or do I wanted Wardon Rodriguez? Do I 0:10:01.520 --> 0:10:03.679 want Nick Pavetta, or do I want Shane Bieber. When 0:10:03.679 --> 0:10:05.880 you're actually in that position where you have to make 0:10:05.920 --> 0:10:09.320 that decision yourself and and do the research, that's when 0:10:09.360 --> 0:10:11.160 you kind of figure out, like where these guys should 0:10:11.160 --> 0:10:14.839 be ranked. So definitely true. So with that being said, 0:10:16.640 --> 0:10:18.959 as I mentioned on the surface, I didn't get the 0:10:19.080 --> 0:10:22.679 Nick Pavetta love. Are you in on Nick Pavetta? You love? 0:10:22.720 --> 0:10:30.200 And like everybody else does I? I like Nick Pavetta. Um, 0:10:30.240 --> 0:10:34.520 I have him. I am thirty four, that's starting pictures. 0:10:34.679 --> 0:10:37.480 So I have Shane Bieber twenty five. I have Pavetta thirty, 0:10:37.640 --> 0:10:39.880 so pretty significantly farther. Okay, so I'm moving back to 0:10:39.880 --> 0:10:42.599 where I had him that Okay, there's a lot to 0:10:42.679 --> 0:10:44.480 like here. Look the case for nine last year for 0:10:44.960 --> 0:10:47.680 Nick Pavetta ten point three, the wolfsper nine were under 0:10:47.800 --> 0:10:51.640 three solid groundball right nearly forty seven percent. What you're 0:10:51.679 --> 0:10:54.000 looking at here is that the EARRA indicators were much 0:10:54.080 --> 0:10:56.120 better than the four point seven seven ear A, So 0:10:56.400 --> 0:10:58.040 don't let that scare you off too much. The x 0:10:58.080 --> 0:11:03.160 fit was three point four to and the Sierra the 0:11:03.240 --> 0:11:07.199 extro was three point five one. So there's like, by 0:11:07.280 --> 0:11:10.800 all indications, his stuff played up to a you know, 0:11:10.920 --> 0:11:13.360 sub three six e r A. He's gonna definitely have 0:11:13.440 --> 0:11:16.240 run support with the Phillies lineup this year. Uh, he 0:11:16.280 --> 0:11:18.360 didn't allow that much hard contact. He was right around 0:11:18.400 --> 0:11:21.439 thirty two percent, which was better than league average twelve 0:11:21.559 --> 0:11:24.400 percent swinging strike rad I mean, that was good enough 0:11:24.440 --> 0:11:27.800 for top twenty among starting pitchers last year. Over sixty 0:11:27.880 --> 0:11:31.360 percent first pitch strike sixty three percent. I mean, these 0:11:31.400 --> 0:11:33.079 are all marks that he's hitting right, Like if you 0:11:33.200 --> 0:11:36.600 have the if you're over eleven swing crade, if you're 0:11:36.679 --> 0:11:39.679 over sixty pst pitch strike, that means you know, three 0:11:39.720 --> 0:11:41.960 out of five batters that you're facing, you're getting ahead 0:11:41.960 --> 0:11:44.800 in the count. I mean, typically that's what you want. Uh. 0:11:44.840 --> 0:11:46.800 And then he's getting people to chase pitches over thirty 0:11:46.840 --> 0:11:48.760 percent of the time, which is better than league average 0:11:48.760 --> 0:11:52.720 as well. He's got a mid nineties fastball, which definitely 0:11:52.800 --> 0:11:55.880 needs some work. I mean it's it's fast, but it's 0:11:55.920 --> 0:11:58.839 like Louise Casile, like people bomb the fastball. But he 0:11:58.920 --> 0:12:01.360 has two legits. I canary pitches with the curveball and 0:12:01.440 --> 0:12:04.920 the slider to swing and miss pitches. So I understand 0:12:04.960 --> 0:12:08.079 why people like Nick Pavetta. Last year, I got a 0:12:08.120 --> 0:12:09.800 little bit of a John Gray vibe from him, And 0:12:09.840 --> 0:12:12.079 I know he doesn't pitch in corps Field, but it 0:12:12.200 --> 0:12:14.520 was like every like all year long, people were freaking 0:12:14.520 --> 0:12:17.040 out about Pavetta, like how good he should be, But 0:12:17.120 --> 0:12:20.280 it never really came to fruition. He's still young enough 0:12:20.320 --> 0:12:22.600 where like it could happen, like he could easily break 0:12:22.600 --> 0:12:24.559 out this Year's only twenty six years old, so he 0:12:24.600 --> 0:12:26.880 could take that next step where it actually comes to fruition. 0:12:27.440 --> 0:12:29.760 But last year, you remember this Greig, A lot of 0:12:29.800 --> 0:12:32.040 people were just talking about him all year long, like 0:12:32.120 --> 0:12:34.319 how good he should be, like all the underlying numbers. 0:12:34.880 --> 0:12:37.120 He gave me a little bit of a John Gray Field. 0:12:37.800 --> 0:12:40.520 Wasn't pitch in a good hitter's ballpark in the uh 0:12:40.600 --> 0:12:43.440 in Citizens Bank Park with the Phillies. Pretty tough division 0:12:43.440 --> 0:12:45.640 now to like outside of the Marlins he's gonna face 0:12:45.679 --> 0:12:48.320 the Nationals lineup, he's gonna face the Mets lineup, he's 0:12:48.320 --> 0:12:51.400 gonna face the Brains lineup. Pretty tough lineups there too. 0:12:51.520 --> 0:12:54.400 So I like Pavetta. I could see why you know 0:12:54.679 --> 0:12:59.960 he's a breakout candidate. Definitely. I think I've tempered expectations 0:13:00.000 --> 0:13:01.679 a little bit more than other people, though. Yeah, I 0:13:01.720 --> 0:13:03.439 think there's gonna be people that are higher than me 0:13:03.600 --> 0:13:05.200 than Nick pavetda, Like in the leagues that we're doing 0:13:05.240 --> 0:13:08.800 the g S T A D nine days away now, Um, 0:13:09.720 --> 0:13:11.760 people are just gonna be higher on this guy than 0:13:11.840 --> 0:13:14.000 we are. Like, I know, people in an auction, they're 0:13:14.000 --> 0:13:15.920 gonna bid more than we care for. Like I like 0:13:16.040 --> 0:13:18.040 Nick Pavetta, Like I could see why there's a chance 0:13:18.080 --> 0:13:20.559 that he breaks out, Like you also see why he 0:13:20.679 --> 0:13:22.160 may not. Like the good news is there's a good 0:13:22.240 --> 0:13:24.200 chance he could pitch around a hundred and eight hundred 0:13:24.280 --> 0:13:27.439 nine innings like that. That's awesome. Um, how do you 0:13:27.480 --> 0:13:30.439 think how do you think Nick Pavetta goes for in 0:13:30.440 --> 0:13:34.520 an auction? Fifteen teams? I have no I have no 0:13:34.760 --> 0:13:37.199 concept of this at this moment. I'm just I'm thinking of, 0:13:37.320 --> 0:13:39.480 like how much we paid for like last year, for example, 0:13:39.520 --> 0:13:43.079 we got alex Would for like seven eight bucks, so 0:13:43.640 --> 0:13:46.079 I feel like Povetto would this year. It's kind of 0:13:46.120 --> 0:13:47.800 like in the range where alex Wood was last My 0:13:47.920 --> 0:13:51.160 first instinct was like nine, Yeah, that was my first 0:13:51.440 --> 0:13:54.640 ten bucks something like that, which you probably want them 0:13:54.640 --> 0:13:58.040 as like your SP four four yea spen ten dollars 0:13:58.080 --> 0:13:59.439 on them in a fifte team. You know what's really 0:13:59.440 --> 0:14:02.640 interesting because we will said four pretty immediately there, Nick Pavetta, 0:14:02.760 --> 0:14:07.480 right right, yes, before yea, what have I said? And 0:14:08.280 --> 0:14:10.120 I've seen a lot of drafts where Moredcae has done 0:14:10.160 --> 0:14:12.160 he gets paved, he gets him as is four. But 0:14:12.920 --> 0:14:15.200 the funny thing about this, and what's kind of almost 0:14:15.240 --> 0:14:18.280 confirming my beliefs if I would have said, okay, the 0:14:18.320 --> 0:14:20.600 two hype guys, Nick Pavetta, we both said five s befour, 0:14:20.720 --> 0:14:23.200 I'm I give you Shane Bieber to me SP three. 0:14:23.240 --> 0:14:28.440 I'm okay with that. It's true. Yeah, I just kind 0:14:28.440 --> 0:14:29.840 of I think there's a little bit more trust in 0:14:29.880 --> 0:14:32.680 Bieber for me. I don't know, but I have it. 0:14:32.760 --> 0:14:34.720 But I have it also, and I'm like, I'm okay 0:14:34.800 --> 0:14:39.480 with Shane Bieber is organizational organizational philosophy, right, maybe, but 0:14:40.120 --> 0:14:42.080 the other you've done such a good job. The Cleveland 0:14:42.080 --> 0:14:45.160 Indians know we've vision a pitchin too. We've hardly on 0:14:45.240 --> 0:14:47.800 this all three days this week, to be fair, or 0:14:47.880 --> 0:14:52.400 two days this weeks only Tuesday. Jesus um. But I 0:14:52.560 --> 0:14:55.240 look at I look at Shane Bieber, and maybe it's 0:14:55.280 --> 0:14:56.840 because I looked at him more closely than I did 0:14:56.960 --> 0:14:58.520 Nick Pavett last year. Maybe it's because he had a 0:14:58.520 --> 0:15:01.200 better year than Nick Pavetta did last year, and there 0:15:01.360 --> 0:15:05.480 is more trust there, and I think it's warranted. Reminder, 0:15:05.560 --> 0:15:07.920 same people had a four point five five year last year. 0:15:08.120 --> 0:15:11.080 These guys are pretty similar, Like spot on, it felt 0:15:11.160 --> 0:15:14.840 like we're drafting Bieber because his underlying numbers were way better, awesome, 0:15:15.000 --> 0:15:16.800 like his ear, like his exfit was three point three. 0:15:17.160 --> 0:15:20.080 Another guy was better than another guy that you keep 0:15:20.160 --> 0:15:23.360 giving out in this range is EDWARDA. Rodriguez, who people 0:15:23.640 --> 0:15:25.400 have loved for a while now, and I've taken shots 0:15:25.440 --> 0:15:28.240 at WARDA. Rodriguez multiple times in the past. Gloria will 0:15:28.280 --> 0:15:30.080 never let you live down that last year at GST, 0:15:30.160 --> 0:15:32.240 when he wanted to draft him, you scoffed at it. 0:15:32.920 --> 0:15:36.040 How did you scoffed at Edward because I'm not let 0:15:36.040 --> 0:15:38.680 you live that down. The problem at Wardo Rodriguez is 0:15:38.840 --> 0:15:40.600 I felt, I just feel like he's never healthy. I 0:15:40.760 --> 0:15:43.760 feel like he's always one bad turn away from reinjuring 0:15:43.840 --> 0:15:46.920 that knee. I don't feel safe at all. Um that 0:15:47.640 --> 0:15:49.840 Reguez and again in a Rodo league it made more sense. 0:15:49.880 --> 0:15:51.280 And I screwed that up in gd D. There's no 0:15:51.360 --> 0:15:53.120 doubt about it. But I scoffed. But I scoffed. I 0:15:53.160 --> 0:15:55.600 mean I wasn't. Really I'm not gonna let you sit 0:15:55.640 --> 0:15:57.680 here and take all in the head. That's fine, but 0:15:58.520 --> 0:16:00.320 I'll take that blame because I know I did it 0:16:00.680 --> 0:16:03.280 in the head to head format. It's like, I don 0:16:03.360 --> 0:16:05.760 know what these numbers safe for Last year they were awesome, 0:16:06.000 --> 0:16:07.560 But don't you feel like he's still kind of has 0:16:07.640 --> 0:16:10.320 to break out and there's some trepidation that he won't 0:16:10.400 --> 0:16:13.160 like and whatever is in this mixed with Beaver, in 0:16:13.240 --> 0:16:15.840 this mixed with Proveta, you're higher on him than than 0:16:15.960 --> 0:16:18.320 I am traditionally. Um, what do you think about him 0:16:18.360 --> 0:16:21.560 this year? Yeah? I mean this was another picture from 0:16:21.680 --> 0:16:25.160 last year that made a conscious change. I mean, he 0:16:25.240 --> 0:16:27.200 added a pitch he added a cutter. Last year, he 0:16:27.280 --> 0:16:28.920 threw it nineteen percent at a time, So just just 0:16:29.000 --> 0:16:31.720 to put this in perspective, he threw a four seam 0:16:31.880 --> 0:16:39.800 fastball twenty fifteen between fifty seven and sixty six percent 0:16:39.840 --> 0:16:41.760 of the time. Last year he cut that four seam 0:16:41.840 --> 0:16:45.520 usage down from sixty one percent with the fourth seamer, 0:16:46.880 --> 0:16:49.200 lowered that down to forty two percent. So lowered it 0:16:49.280 --> 0:16:52.600 by nineteen percent, basically took that nineteen percent and added 0:16:52.640 --> 0:16:55.120 a new pitch, a cutter, which was lights out right. 0:16:55.600 --> 0:16:57.480 And I mean, there's a lot to like with him again, 0:16:57.560 --> 0:17:00.280 but he's hitting the benchmarks that we want. Over eleven 0:17:00.920 --> 0:17:04.520 strike it last year, over first pitch strike per today, 0:17:04.720 --> 0:17:09.359 over oh swing and people to chase pitches. There's a 0:17:09.440 --> 0:17:12.040 lot to like. If he stays healthy. You legitimately has 0:17:12.119 --> 0:17:14.520 you know, top thirty, top twenty five starting pitcher up. 0:17:14.840 --> 0:17:16.280 Well here more about I want to run you gains 0:17:16.480 --> 0:17:22.639 other guys in this area.

Is he up there? 0:20:04.000 --> 0:20:05.240 He's not. The I only have the top five and 0:20:05.440 --> 0:20:09.160 in front of its top five, so three or two 0:20:09.160 --> 0:20:12.320 of were soccer. That's the second and fifth is should 0:20:12.359 --> 0:20:16.000 I be able to do? I know this person and 0:20:16.119 --> 0:20:18.600 he's very hard with you. You know, I don't really 0:20:18.640 --> 0:20:21.080 know anyone. What if said someone that kind of has 0:20:21.160 --> 0:20:23.080 like a background, like I know he passed away, but 0:20:23.200 --> 0:20:26.719 like Paul Allen like, so that's the absolute right mindset. 0:20:26.760 --> 0:20:29.000 You're right there, the one who has like that background. 0:20:29.040 --> 0:20:31.720 You are right there. You could not be any closer. Oh, 0:20:31.880 --> 0:20:35.280 Bomber number one there, it is excellent job, Steve Bomber, 0:20:35.400 --> 0:20:38.399 number one. He's worth forty one billion dollars. That's a 0:20:38.480 --> 0:20:46.480 little bit more than us Panthers new owner worth. How much? Um, 0:20:46.840 --> 0:20:50.480 David Tempers number four on this list? Who's that the 0:20:50.520 --> 0:20:54.720 new Panthers owner, Carolina Panthers? Um? Yeah, I thought I 0:20:54.720 --> 0:20:56.879 thought Bomber was gettable for you, and he was all 0:20:56.960 --> 0:20:58.320 right you were before you at the break you were 0:20:58.359 --> 0:21:01.639 talking about Eduardo Rodriguez and what makes him been triguing 0:21:01.720 --> 0:21:04.560 this year? Look, he just he checks a lot of 0:21:04.600 --> 0:21:07.120 the boxes, right, I mean the k per nine over ten. 0:21:07.760 --> 0:21:09.760 The walks have always been an issue. But if he 0:21:09.840 --> 0:21:12.520 continues to up that first pitch strike percentage and get 0:21:12.520 --> 0:21:14.640 ahead of counts, I could see the walks coming back 0:21:14.640 --> 0:21:17.159 a little bit. That's really that's the next step for him, right, 0:21:17.200 --> 0:21:20.240
