Speaker 2: in twenty twenty three that I simply positively must.
Speaker 1: Have in Fantasy Baseball.
Speaker 2: Number ten Andres Muno's relief pitcher Seattle Mariners. Now, he
Speaker 2: doesn't have the gig yet, but it's only a matter
Speaker 2: of time before this fireballer takes over the closer role
Speaker 2: for the Seattle Mariners.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Paul Siewald held down that role last.
Speaker 2: Year, but Andres Munos is special on a twenty four
Speaker 2: years old This kid last year through sixty five innings,
Speaker 2: struck out an incredible ninety six hitters and had just
Speaker 2: a walk rate of six percent. This guy is the goods,
Speaker 2: could be the second coming in Seattle of Edwin Diaz,
Speaker 2: and it's only a matter of time before he takes
Speaker 2: over that role for the MS. Don't sleep on this player.
Speaker 2: He's going in an average ADP of one sixty nine overall,
Speaker 2: and that is just unbelievable value for a guy who
Speaker 2: might end up with the lion's share of the safe.
Speaker 2: Not to mention the incredible strikeout and peripheral stats you're
Speaker 2: gonna get with Munno's as well. Number nine Andrew Vaughn,
Speaker 2: first base outfielder for the Chicago White Sox. Now, speaking
Speaker 2: of twenty four year old breakouts, Andrew Vaughn is finally
Speaker 2: going to get to play his natural position of first
Speaker 2: base every day for the first time in his young
Speaker 2: big league career. He was one of the most polished
Speaker 2: college hitters coming out of the draft a few years ago,
Speaker 2: and he basically spent zero time in the minor leagues.
Speaker 2: He has been learning on the fly ever since, and
Speaker 2: last year he's coming off a seventeen homer seventy six
Speaker 2: RBI season. But for the first time ever, he's gonna
Speaker 2: play first base every day, his natural position, and I
Speaker 2: think that is going to let this kid relax into
Speaker 2: his natural abilities and finally see what all the upside
Speaker 2: and all the hype was about coming out of the
Speaker 2: draft a few years ago. Vaughn is coming in drafts
Speaker 2: at a discount, and he brings you dual eligibility as well,
Speaker 2: first base and outfield. Number eight Luis Severino, starting pitcher
Speaker 2: for the New York Yankees the twenty nine year old
Speaker 2: Yankees starter is going outside of the top thirty starting
Speaker 2: pitchers right now in ADP, and there's not a lot
Speaker 2: of pitchers that have the upside of Severino, not to
Speaker 2: mention the fact he's playing on a good offensive team
Speaker 2: and a good defensive team, and the path to the
Speaker 2: win should be pretty good for Severino. He's had not
Speaker 2: won but two seasons with over two hundred and twenty
Speaker 2: strikeouts in his career, and yes, he has had some
Speaker 2: injuries in the last few years, including Tommy John last year, though,
Speaker 2: over the nineteen starts one hundred and two innings, the
Speaker 2: guy struck out one hundred and twelve batters, walked just
Speaker 2: thirty and had a three to one eight ERA in a.
Speaker 1: Competitive Al East.
Speaker 2: Severino's pitching for a contract this year, and you know
Speaker 2: what that means. It's time to let all hang out.
Speaker 2: So twenty twenty three could be a year where Severino
Speaker 2: regains Ace like status, and at his current ADP, he
Speaker 2: is an incredible value.
Speaker 1: For any fantasy rotation.
Speaker 2: Number seven Corbyn Carroll, outfielder for the Arizona Diamondbacks. Now,
Speaker 2: it's not every year where I get super excited about rookies,
Speaker 2: but Corbyn Carroll is one of these guys to get
Speaker 2: excited about.
Speaker 1: In his minor league career, in one hundred and forty
Speaker 1: two games.
Speaker 2: He had a three ten batting average, with a four
Speaker 2: to twenty six OBP, a five eighty eight slugging and
Speaker 2: ops over a thousand. Not only does this guy have
Speaker 2: incredible speed and the chance to steal thirty bases this year,
Speaker 2: but don't sleep on the power just because he's a
Speaker 2: player smaller in stature. I am telling you this guy
Speaker 2: has lightning quick hands and can absolutely get the ball
Speaker 2: out of the ballpark. He has a real shot at
Speaker 2: going twenty thirty as a rookie this year, and he's
Speaker 2: already the top of the betting board as rookie of the.
Speaker 1: Year in the National League.
Speaker 2: So it's time to be aggressive on Corbyn Carroll, especially
Speaker 2: in a year where outfield doesn't look all that great
Speaker 2: in terms of player pool depth.
Speaker 1: So Corbyn Carroll is a must have. Number six.
Speaker 2: Christian Xavier is starting pitcher for the Houston Astros. Not
Speaker 2: only is Javier an elite starting pitcher, but he also
Speaker 2: qualifies a relief pitcher as well. From some of those
Speaker 2: appearances in twenty twenty two. Christian Xavier was absolutely filthy
Speaker 2: last season. One hundred and forty eight innings, one hundred
Speaker 2: and ninety two strikeouts, are you kidding me? Two five
Speaker 2: four ERA, and a point nine to five whip. He
Speaker 2: was one of my favorite players going into last season
Speaker 2: if you watched any of our videos and guess that's
Speaker 2: what He was one of my favorite players going into
Speaker 2: this year also, and he's still coming at a relative
Speaker 2: discount considering people are still concerned about how many innings
Speaker 2: you're gonna get out of him. I think you're probably
Speaker 2: looking for about one to seventy five out of Christian
Speaker 2: Javier this year, and right now he's currently going as
Speaker 2: the sixty fourth player overall. That still makes him a
Speaker 2: value for a very good Houston Astros team. Christian Javier
Speaker 2: is going to be an ace in twenty twenty three,
Speaker 2: and I simply must have him.
Speaker 1: Number five.
Speaker 2: Ozzi Alby's second baseman, Atlanta Braves am I the only
Speaker 2: person that remembers when Ozzie Alby's was absolutely kicking button
Speaker 2: taking names in twenty twenty one. The guy had thirty homers,
Speaker 2: drove into one hundred and six runs, stole twenty bases,
Speaker 2: and scored one hundred and three runs.
Speaker 1: By the way, it was the third time in his
Speaker 1: career that.
Speaker 2: He had scored over one hundred runs in a season,
Speaker 2: and now, after a down injury plague twenty twenty two,
Speaker 2: Ozzi Alby's all of a sudden, is persona non grata
Speaker 2: in twenty twenty three. I'm not even sure what that means,
Speaker 2: but I do know that Ozzi Alby's is going at
Speaker 2: player fifty one overall, and that's just absurd. Second base
Speaker 2: is rough this year. You want a guy with power
Speaker 2: speed upside. He's coming off a shoulder surgery cleanup, so
Speaker 2: he should be healthy and ready to go this year
Speaker 2: opening day. Ozzi Alby's is an absolute steal in every
Speaker 2: single format, and I do not know for the life
Speaker 2: of me why he is dragging behind the ADP. But
Speaker 2: don't you drag in not drafting him. Take Ozzi Alby's.
Speaker 2: He is a must have second basement for twenty twenty
Speaker 2: three because he gives you every single category you could
Speaker 2: possibly ask for, and he does it all at second
Speaker 2: base for goodness sakes. Number four Francisco Lindor, shortstop, New
Speaker 2: York Mets. Now I understand that shortstop is generally seen
Speaker 2: as a deep position in twenty twenty three, but I
Speaker 2: don't care. I still want elite talent, and Francisco Lindor
Speaker 2: is just that. Last year he had two to seventy,
Speaker 2: but he scored ninety eight runs, drove in one hundred
Speaker 2: and seven, stole sixteen bases, and also hit twenty six
Speaker 2: home runs playing one hundred and sixty one games. Did
Speaker 2: you hear me? One hundred and sixty one games? Who
Speaker 2: does that anymore? Image League Baseball?
Speaker 1: I don't know, but I understand.
Speaker 2: Twenty twenty one was a disappointment for a lot of
Speaker 2: people that made a big investment in Lindor, but that
Speaker 2: dude lived up to the hype in twenty twenty two.
Speaker 2: He plays on a fantastic Mets roster in twenty twenty three,
Speaker 2: and to me, he is still a relative value at
Speaker 2: ADP twenty nine overall. So Francisco Lindor is a player
Speaker 2: that I absolutely must have despite the depth at shortstop.
Speaker 2: I want Lindor on my roster in every format I
Speaker 2: can get him. Number Three Spencer Streyder, starting pitcher of
Speaker 2: the Atlanta Braves. Now like Christian Haavier, Spencer Strider also
Speaker 2: qualifies at reliever. So if you have those mandatory ARPA spots,
Speaker 2: ooh we Spencer Strider can be incredibly valuable.
Speaker 1: This guy was absolutely absurd last year.
Speaker 2: In one hundred and thirty one and two thirds innings,
Speaker 2: he struck out two hundred and two guys.
Speaker 1: Let that sink. In two hundred and two.
Speaker 2: Strikeouts and one hundred and thirty one innings, he had
Speaker 2: eleven wins, just forty five walks, a two to eight
Speaker 2: zero ERA and a point nine to nine whip. I
Speaker 2: gotta tell you, he's surprised even me. I thought he'd
Speaker 2: end up being maybe a hot end closer someday, but
Speaker 2: Spencer Strider proved me wrong. He is a rotation guy
Speaker 2: all the way, and he's probably in that range of
Speaker 2: one hundred and fifty to one hundred and sixty innings
Speaker 2: this year with an incredible K percentage of thirty eight
Speaker 2: point three.
Speaker 1: Spencer Strider is elite.
Speaker 2: He's going as the seventh pitcher off the board, and
Speaker 2: you know what, I'm not afraid. I'm going all in,
Speaker 2: jumping in with two feet into the pool and the
Speaker 2: water is just fine.
Speaker 1: When it comes to Spencer Stryder.
Speaker 2: In twenty twenty three number two Fernando Tattis Junior, shortstop
Speaker 2: for the San Diego Padres.
Speaker 1: I get it.
Speaker 2: Twenty twenty two was a lost year, but it was
Speaker 2: a year of learning and growth, hopefully for Fernando Tattis Junior.
Speaker 2: He has struggled with injuries, he has struggled with maturity issues,
Speaker 2: but he doesn't struggle when it comes to actually putting
Speaker 2: the bat on the ball. In twenty twenty one, he
Speaker 2: played one hundred and thirty games. He had forty two bombs,
Speaker 2: scored ninety nine runs, drove in ninety seven and twenty
Speaker 2: five steals with a two point eighty two batting average. Now, look,
Speaker 2: I understand Forando Tattis comes with some risk and he's
Speaker 2: gonna miss the first few weeks of the season filling
Speaker 2: out the rest of his suspension. But this is a
Speaker 2: player with top five overall upside. Let me say that again,
Speaker 2: top five overall upside, and he's going an ADP of
Speaker 2: twenty once I'm in that second round. Heck, if I'm
Speaker 2: even at the turn at twelve in drafts, I am
Speaker 2: taking Fernando Tattis Junior because this guy is a league winner.
Speaker 2: Not to mention the fact, he is playing an absolutely
Speaker 2: loaded lineup in San Diego this year. So, Fernando Tattis Junior,
Speaker 2: this is the last time you're coming at a discount.
Speaker 2: And guess what, I'm gonna have all the shares of
Speaker 2: Fernando Tattis Junior. And so should you in twenty twenty three,
Speaker 2: because the risk is well worth the reward. And my
Speaker 2: number one must have player for twenty twenty three is
Speaker 2: Julio Rodriguez, center fielder for the Seattle Mariners. Now, look,
Speaker 2: I understand it's big time draft capital, but come on,
Speaker 2: we're talking about you gotta have a first round pick
Speaker 2: where you gotta spend some money in salary cap drafts.
Speaker 2: So who are you gonna target as the building block
Speaker 2: foundation of your rosters in twenty twenty three, And for me,
Speaker 2: it's Julio Rodriguez. We have barely scratched the surface of
Speaker 2: how good this player is. The age is ridiculous. At
Speaker 2: just twenty two years old. Last year, Julio Rodriguez put
Speaker 2: on a show twenty eight homers, seventy five ribies. He
Speaker 2: had twenty four doubles, twenty five seals, hit two eighty
Speaker 2: four with an eight to fifty two ops in one
Speaker 2: hundred and thirty two games. Julio Rodriguez has a real
Speaker 2: chance to go thirty thirty, maybe even push the envelope
Speaker 2: to forty forty and twenty twenty three. If I have
Speaker 2: a top five pick in the draft, I'm taking Julio.
Speaker 2: If I've got the number one pick in the draft,
Speaker 2: I'm taking Julio because Julio is my number one must
Speaker 2: have for twenty twenty three Fantasy Baseball. Well, there you
Speaker 2: have it, everybody. Those are my top ten must haves
Speaker 2: in twenty twenty three. Who are your must haves in
Speaker 2: twenty twenty three? I want to know the players you
Speaker 2: simply positively must have, so drop them in the comments below.
