1 00:00:05,360 --> 00:00:08,720 Speaker 1: Hello, everybody, Welcome into the cycle. Part two of the week. 2 00:00:08,760 --> 00:00:11,240 Speaker 2: We were talking some bylows and sell highs. 3 00:00:11,240 --> 00:00:13,920 Speaker 1: We're also talking some waiver ads that Mayor and I 4 00:00:13,960 --> 00:00:16,000 Speaker 1: think you should be looking at Mayor. 5 00:00:16,079 --> 00:00:17,159 Speaker 2: Let's dive right in. 6 00:00:17,280 --> 00:00:19,320 Speaker 1: We will start where we always do for this section, 7 00:00:19,800 --> 00:00:23,040 Speaker 1: with our favorite buy lows who you got for us. 8 00:00:23,680 --> 00:00:26,200 Speaker 3: So my by low for this week is Christian Walker, 9 00:00:26,600 --> 00:00:29,640 Speaker 3: and it's a little concerning because he's an older player, 10 00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:31,040 Speaker 3: and with an older player who's off to a really 11 00:00:31,080 --> 00:00:34,559 Speaker 3: slow start, you always worry is this more than a 12 00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:36,639 Speaker 3: slow start? Is this kind of the beginning of the end, 13 00:00:37,080 --> 00:00:39,920 Speaker 3: And for Christian Walker, I don't think so. I think 14 00:00:40,479 --> 00:00:43,320 Speaker 3: there's still a lot of production to come. The one 15 00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:46,000 Speaker 3: thing I noticed while kind of researching this is that 16 00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:50,080 Speaker 3: his bat speed looks fine. So not like an obvious 17 00:00:50,080 --> 00:00:52,640 Speaker 3: concern you would, you know, if you were kind of 18 00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:55,040 Speaker 3: looking at a player as like, you know, maybe the 19 00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:56,800 Speaker 3: end is coming, you might see like a decline of 20 00:00:56,800 --> 00:01:00,360 Speaker 3: batspeed there, But his bat speed looks fine. I just 21 00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:04,040 Speaker 3: think it's kind of like a new new situation, new team, 22 00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:06,440 Speaker 3: new ballpark, new everything, and he's just kind of like 23 00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:08,920 Speaker 3: off to a slow start, and I think he's going 24 00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:10,720 Speaker 3: to turn around. I think you're going to probably still 25 00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:12,440 Speaker 3: end up with close to thirty home runs and an 26 00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:16,800 Speaker 3: average around two fifty. And I think you can buy 27 00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:18,800 Speaker 3: really low right now because there are you know, I've 28 00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:21,839 Speaker 3: seen on our discord and in the comments that people 29 00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:24,400 Speaker 3: are talking about dropping Christian Walker, and so if you 30 00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:26,080 Speaker 3: want to drop him, please go ahead and I'll pick 31 00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:26,479 Speaker 3: him up. 32 00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:32,360 Speaker 1: So, setting aside dropping him because obviously you'll be happy 33 00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:35,480 Speaker 1: to pick him up in that scenario, what would you 34 00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:38,400 Speaker 1: be willing to get rid of to acquire him right now? 35 00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:40,039 Speaker 2: What type of player? 36 00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:42,600 Speaker 1: If you want to throw ou specific names, definitely you can, 37 00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:44,760 Speaker 1: But who are the types of players that you'd be 38 00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:45,200 Speaker 1: looking to? 39 00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:45,440 Speaker 2: Say? 40 00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:47,640 Speaker 1: Like, I will move on from this person to go 41 00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:48,640 Speaker 1: get Christian Walker. 42 00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:50,200 Speaker 3: So when I run him up in the article, I 43 00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:53,200 Speaker 3: included a few names, So how about I shoot those 44 00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:55,400 Speaker 3: back at you and you tell me which player you 45 00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:59,720 Speaker 3: would rather have rest of season? Okay, So the first 46 00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:01,760 Speaker 3: name my poot was Marcus Simeon. Would you rather have 47 00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:03,200 Speaker 3: Marcus Simon or Christian Walker? 48 00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:05,120 Speaker 2: I'd rather have Christian Walker. 49 00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:07,720 Speaker 3: How about Bryce Miller? 50 00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:10,840 Speaker 2: We were just talking about Miller before we started recording. 51 00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:14,680 Speaker 1: I really liked Miller coming into the year. I think 52 00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:18,400 Speaker 1: I'd rather have Miller. But if I had a strong 53 00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:22,200 Speaker 1: need at first base, which is very possible, and I 54 00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:25,720 Speaker 1: had depth at pitching, then I might I would consider it, 55 00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:27,320 Speaker 1: but I would rather in a vacuum have Miller. 56 00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:31,799 Speaker 3: How about Freddy Peralta, I think I'd rather have Walker, 57 00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:35,200 Speaker 3: And then last one is Bailey over. 58 00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:39,000 Speaker 2: I would I like Bailey over. 59 00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:41,560 Speaker 1: I think I'd rather have Walker, though, so I think 60 00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:43,960 Speaker 1: I am buying your case of him as a by 61 00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:47,040 Speaker 1: low given that most of those names I would agree 62 00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:47,840 Speaker 1: with making that trade. 63 00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:50,520 Speaker 3: Yeah, And I tried to pair those. I looked at 64 00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:53,920 Speaker 3: our fantasy baseball trade value chart and tried to pick 65 00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:56,280 Speaker 3: people like in similar tiers that I thought would match 66 00:02:56,320 --> 00:02:59,560 Speaker 3: up as I kind of like, you know, fair trade offers. 67 00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:01,200 Speaker 3: I would do you agree that they're all kind of 68 00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:03,119 Speaker 3: like in the same kind of area as like fair 69 00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:03,840 Speaker 3: trade offers. 70 00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:06,000 Speaker 1: None of them stuck out to me as like this 71 00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:08,639 Speaker 1: is like a disrespectful offer or anything like that. 72 00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:10,359 Speaker 2: I think those are all reasonable. 73 00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:13,040 Speaker 1: I feel those are all trades that you would not 74 00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:15,480 Speaker 1: get laughed at for making in most leagues. 75 00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:18,240 Speaker 3: I would think perfect iailed it. 76 00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:21,919 Speaker 2: Then you did fine. A passing grade. 77 00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:26,840 Speaker 1: All right, My favorite BILO is Gunner Henderson, who I 78 00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:30,840 Speaker 1: wanted to highlight because obviously anybody who invested in Gunner 79 00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:34,280 Speaker 1: Henderson invested quite a bit in him in draft season, 80 00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:37,000 Speaker 1: so they're probably not just like looking to get out, 81 00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:38,240 Speaker 1: you know, no matter what. 82 00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:40,480 Speaker 2: But I wanted to highlight. 83 00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:42,520 Speaker 1: What percent I don't know if you've looked at his 84 00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:45,320 Speaker 1: statcast page or not, I hope you haven't yet. What 85 00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:48,520 Speaker 1: percentile do you think his average exit velocity is? And 86 00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:49,960 Speaker 1: also just if you want to throw out a number 87 00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:52,360 Speaker 1: of guess of what you think it actually is. And 88 00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:55,000 Speaker 1: he's had forty three played appearances since coming back from 89 00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:55,800 Speaker 1: the AL. 90 00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:58,560 Speaker 3: I have not looked at it, but since you're asking, 91 00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:00,960 Speaker 3: it feels like a trick, unless you want me to 92 00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:03,000 Speaker 3: think it's a trick, in which case it's not a trick. 93 00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:05,720 Speaker 2: Reverse reverse Reversee. 94 00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:10,440 Speaker 3: Yeah, let's go with eighty eighth percentile exit velocity. 95 00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:15,360 Speaker 1: His average EGX velocity is ninety nine point three miles 96 00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:20,200 Speaker 1: per hour. It is one one hundredth percentile in base baseball. 97 00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:24,040 Speaker 1: His hard hit rate is also one hundredth percentile, sixty 98 00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:27,599 Speaker 1: nine point two percent hard hit rate. Fat speed is 99 00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:28,920 Speaker 1: its typical, very high. 100 00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:30,600 Speaker 2: Interestingly, some of the. 101 00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:35,000 Speaker 1: His stackcast page is either blue or red. There's not 102 00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:38,120 Speaker 1: a lot of kind of gray area middle ground. So 103 00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:39,960 Speaker 1: like his barrel rate and his sweet spot rate are 104 00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:43,880 Speaker 1: actually fairly low. He's striking out a ton. That's not 105 00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:46,039 Speaker 1: going to last though. His striker rates thirty seven point 106 00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:48,640 Speaker 1: two percent his career high before this was his rookie 107 00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:51,359 Speaker 1: season at twenty five point eight percent. That's going to 108 00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:54,360 Speaker 1: come down. The walk rate is a career low, that's 109 00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:57,040 Speaker 1: going to come up. And he is hitting the absolute 110 00:04:57,080 --> 00:05:00,520 Speaker 1: crapitable I'm telling you Mayor again somebody who watches Oriols 111 00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:03,520 Speaker 1: game every single night. It feels like he has one 112 00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:06,920 Speaker 1: or two at bats where he hits an absolute missile 113 00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:10,159 Speaker 1: right at a fielder's glove. And it is crazy how 114 00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:13,040 Speaker 1: much it's happened. Right now, he's lying is his bat 115 00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:15,560 Speaker 1: average is two fourteen, is ops is five to forty three. 116 00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:17,800 Speaker 1: He has not hit a home run yet. He has 117 00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:20,440 Speaker 1: two stolen bases despite not getting on base that often. 118 00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:23,159 Speaker 2: His obie b's two thirty three. Those numbers are all 119 00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:23,720 Speaker 2: going to go up. 120 00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:28,200 Speaker 1: And I put him in this segment to say Gunner 121 00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:33,440 Speaker 1: Henderson before this injury and stretch was borderline unattainable in 122 00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:36,440 Speaker 1: most leagues. I think he is still going to cost 123 00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:39,960 Speaker 1: a pretty penny, but he might actually be attainable with. 124 00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:40,880 Speaker 2: This very slow start. 125 00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:45,000 Speaker 1: If somebody's kind of feeling early desperation mode or they're like, listen, 126 00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:47,520 Speaker 1: I just want to get out from the Gunner Henderson business. 127 00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:48,479 Speaker 2: I'm worried. 128 00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:51,920 Speaker 1: You know, last year was not an outlier for him, 129 00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:54,080 Speaker 1: but it's not like he has the longest track record 130 00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:57,080 Speaker 1: of major league success yet this. 131 00:05:56,960 --> 00:05:59,160 Speaker 2: Early in his career. Is still only twenty three years old. 132 00:05:59,839 --> 00:06:03,400 Speaker 1: I'm putting him here to say zero percent concerned those 133 00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:05,039 Speaker 1: hits are going to start falling. He's hitting the ball 134 00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:07,839 Speaker 1: too hard for them not to. I think his numbers 135 00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:09,320 Speaker 1: are going to look worse than they were last year 136 00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:10,920 Speaker 1: by the end of the season because he's had this 137 00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:15,240 Speaker 1: slow start I expect, but his pace there will be 138 00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:17,480 Speaker 1: there will come a moment soon where that luck is 139 00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:19,960 Speaker 1: going to flip and his pace is going to look 140 00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:23,520 Speaker 1: just like it did last year, a borderline forty twenty pace, 141 00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:25,720 Speaker 1: which is which is what he was close to last year. 142 00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:31,480 Speaker 1: I would trade good players, I would trade borderline studs 143 00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:35,000 Speaker 1: if I thought I could get Gunner Henderson In return. 144 00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:36,560 Speaker 3: All right, I'll trying to see where your breaking point is. 145 00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:38,160 Speaker 3: The one thing about him which I think you're right, 146 00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:40,120 Speaker 3: his swinging. Not only is he striking out a ton, 147 00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:43,279 Speaker 3: his swinging strike rate his way up. It's over fifteen percent. 148 00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:45,080 Speaker 3: It was below ten percent last year, so he just 149 00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:45,880 Speaker 3: has to start well. 150 00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:48,359 Speaker 1: The other thing I'll quickly say on that too, is like, 151 00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:51,920 Speaker 1: remember he didn't play in the last however many weeks 152 00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:54,520 Speaker 1: of spring because of this injury, So like this really 153 00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:57,159 Speaker 1: is his spring, just getting that timing down. Like we 154 00:06:57,279 --> 00:06:59,400 Speaker 1: kind of roll our eyes at spring training SATs and stuff, 155 00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:02,280 Speaker 1: but the actual act of getting those at bats is important. 156 00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:06,280 Speaker 1: So I'm like keeping that in mind, even aside from 157 00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:08,880 Speaker 1: the fact that some of the underlying numbers are still 158 00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:12,440 Speaker 1: not just better than we've shown, but like among the 159 00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:13,400 Speaker 1: best in baseball. 160 00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:16,960 Speaker 3: So how good of a player are we talking? Would 161 00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:20,800 Speaker 3: you trade Bryce Harper? Yes? 162 00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:22,440 Speaker 2: I would trade Bryce Harper for Gunnar. 163 00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:27,239 Speaker 1: Okay, Ignoring positional scarcity type. 164 00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:29,920 Speaker 3: Questions, all right, let's try some I like to do 165 00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:32,520 Speaker 3: a lot of like picture for hitter trades because a 166 00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:35,160 Speaker 3: lot of times I think in reality, like I either 167 00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:37,520 Speaker 3: have pitching or need pitching or have hitting or need hitting, 168 00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:41,280 Speaker 3: So I'm flipping one for the other. How about Gara. 169 00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:45,240 Speaker 2: Corchet Man, that's an interesting one. 170 00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:47,280 Speaker 1: So there are when you said Pitcher, there are a 171 00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:50,160 Speaker 1: couple of names that I was like, definitely I would 172 00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:52,560 Speaker 1: not trade, and that's Schooble and Schemes. 173 00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:54,280 Speaker 2: And then there was. 174 00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:59,200 Speaker 1: Like, I think, I like, like anybody after Crochet, I 175 00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:01,800 Speaker 1: definitely would Wheler and Crochet were the two where I'm like, 176 00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:06,880 Speaker 1: I would think about it. I probably wouldn't trade wheelershe 177 00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:08,800 Speaker 1: Crochet is a really it's a really good one to 178 00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:12,360 Speaker 1: throw out because I think he could be like he 179 00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:14,480 Speaker 1: could finish his sp one this year and it wouldn't 180 00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:16,840 Speaker 1: my job wouldn't be on the floor, and I wouldn't 181 00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:20,080 Speaker 1: want to give up that guy for Gunner. But I 182 00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:22,280 Speaker 1: think in a vacuum, I would like, if we were 183 00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:24,440 Speaker 1: drafting today, I would draft Gunner ahead of Crochet. So 184 00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:25,240 Speaker 1: I think I should I have. 185 00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:27,800 Speaker 3: To say yes, Okay, So that seems like that's where 186 00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:29,320 Speaker 3: the line is. I was going to keep going, but 187 00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:31,720 Speaker 3: like Logan Gilbert Spencer Stride on the. 188 00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:33,680 Speaker 2: On the picture side, that is the line. 189 00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:36,880 Speaker 1: Anybody after Crochet I would trade for Gunner I will 190 00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:39,800 Speaker 1: say right now, there's no name you can throw out that. 191 00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:42,080 Speaker 1: I mean, like, I guess Strider maybe, but that's like 192 00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:44,040 Speaker 1: a question of how much you believe in the health. 193 00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:47,000 Speaker 1: So like setting that aside, there's no picture I wouldn't 194 00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:50,240 Speaker 1: trade for Gunner. Besides those top four maybe five guys. 195 00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:52,280 Speaker 3: Did you have Gunner? You probably did Gunner ahead of 196 00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:53,400 Speaker 3: Lindor coming into the year. 197 00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:56,920 Speaker 1: I did have him ahead coming into the year, and 198 00:08:57,000 --> 00:08:58,560 Speaker 1: I would still have him ahead. 199 00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:03,360 Speaker 3: What about lad again, ignoring positional. 200 00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:06,920 Speaker 1: Yeah, ignoring positional that, that's like a very close one. 201 00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:10,440 Speaker 1: I would rather have Gunner because of the steels going forward, 202 00:09:11,559 --> 00:09:14,800 Speaker 1: and I expect the power numbers to be largely similar 203 00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:16,240 Speaker 1: once Gunnar gets going. 204 00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:20,319 Speaker 3: How about Kyle Tucker. 205 00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:21,880 Speaker 2: I'd probably rather have Tucker. 206 00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:24,920 Speaker 1: Here's an interesting one, and we don't have to like 207 00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:27,360 Speaker 1: just throw out every single name, but here, how about everybody? 208 00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:31,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, I could solve this by saying where 209 00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:32,160 Speaker 2: he's right. 210 00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:35,600 Speaker 1: Now? I was gonna say, an interesting one for me 211 00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:38,240 Speaker 1: would be Churio, because you know, I was extremely high 212 00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:40,600 Speaker 1: on him coming into the year. He was going like 213 00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:44,640 Speaker 1: around round and a half later than Gunner in drafts. 214 00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:46,720 Speaker 1: He's been good He's going to give you both power 215 00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:48,400 Speaker 1: and speed like I expect Gunner to do. 216 00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:54,280 Speaker 2: He is an interesting one. I would probably trade Jackson Curio. 217 00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:56,200 Speaker 1: For Gunner Henderson today though if I could, but that 218 00:09:56,240 --> 00:09:58,000 Speaker 1: one would be like a very close one in terms 219 00:09:58,040 --> 00:09:59,640 Speaker 1: of how I viewed them rest of season. 220 00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:01,960 Speaker 3: I've go Rid eleven and Chario at fifteen. 221 00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:04,800 Speaker 2: So you would also make that deal, neyep. 222 00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:08,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, And anyways, I don't need to tell people Gunners good. 223 00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:10,400 Speaker 1: I'm just telling you that don't be don't be afraid 224 00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:16,080 Speaker 1: of this really really poor start. The good times are 225 00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:21,520 Speaker 1: coming soon. I can promise you that. All right, let's 226 00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:22,200 Speaker 1: go to our cell highs. 227 00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:22,600 Speaker 2: Who do you got? 228 00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:25,840 Speaker 3: So? My cell high is Michael Bush? And it's because 229 00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:30,000 Speaker 3: I kind of like Michael Bush. But I also he's 230 00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:32,400 Speaker 3: offten a really strong start. I'm not sure what his 231 00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:34,600 Speaker 3: value is, but I think it's probably near its peak 232 00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:38,320 Speaker 3: right now. He's batting clean up in that lineup every day, 233 00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:41,760 Speaker 3: which is great to see after a strong start with 234 00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:47,280 Speaker 3: some power, still not really hitting lefties that great, which 235 00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:49,480 Speaker 3: is interesting because I wrote him up in our Bilow 236 00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:53,280 Speaker 3: Cell High article on the site, and the interesting thing 237 00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:56,000 Speaker 3: is that he actually had a decent batting average against 238 00:10:56,080 --> 00:10:59,960 Speaker 3: lefties last year, but only one home run last year 239 00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:02,880 Speaker 3: against lefties. The other twenty we're all against righty's, and 240 00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:07,600 Speaker 3: this year he's got really poor numbers against lefties, and 241 00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:10,000 Speaker 3: I kind of think we're going to continue to see 242 00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:13,400 Speaker 3: him not in the lineup against lefties on a pretty 243 00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:16,439 Speaker 3: regular basis, which kind of takes away some of his value, 244 00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:20,160 Speaker 3: especially you think about, you know, if you're in a 245 00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:21,840 Speaker 3: daily league, fine, you can kind of flip him in 246 00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:23,800 Speaker 3: out of your lineup and get most of his stats. 247 00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:27,240 Speaker 3: But if I'm in a weekly lineup league where I 248 00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:28,840 Speaker 3: have to kind of you know, said it, what if 249 00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:31,400 Speaker 3: I you know, I'm facing two or three lefties that week, 250 00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:33,440 Speaker 3: or Michael Bush is facing two or three lefties that week, 251 00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:35,840 Speaker 3: can you just stick him in your lineup for you know, 252 00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:39,400 Speaker 3: three or four games. He's batting twenty four right now 253 00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:41,439 Speaker 3: with four home runs, Like I said, already, you know, 254 00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:44,959 Speaker 3: hitting in the middle of that order, and I think 255 00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:46,360 Speaker 3: I would try to flip him. And some of the 256 00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:49,760 Speaker 3: names I included, I'll flip it back to you because 257 00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:52,319 Speaker 3: I wrote a bunch of names, and I actually was 258 00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:55,440 Speaker 3: workshopping this with Kelly because not only is she a 259 00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:57,200 Speaker 3: really good analyst, but she's also a Cubs fan. So 260 00:11:57,320 --> 00:11:58,400 Speaker 3: I was like, tell me if I'm in the right 261 00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:01,319 Speaker 3: ballpark here for like a Michael Bush trade, because like, 262 00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:03,959 Speaker 3: am I overvaluing undervaluing him? And these are the names 263 00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:07,440 Speaker 3: I landed on. So would you rather have Michael Bush 264 00:12:07,520 --> 00:12:09,360 Speaker 3: or Brandon Fought rest of season? 265 00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:11,520 Speaker 2: I'd rather have Fought. 266 00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:21,880 Speaker 3: How about Mackenzie Gore, I'd rather Gore. Clay Holmes. 267 00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:25,760 Speaker 1: Honestly depends on the format. I'm pretty skeptical of him. 268 00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:28,640 Speaker 1: I was really high on Holmes in draft season. I'm 269 00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:31,320 Speaker 1: pretty skeptical of him going deep enough into games to 270 00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:35,439 Speaker 1: be super valuable in more points formats, but I think 271 00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:38,720 Speaker 1: he will be good the ning he pitches, So for me, 272 00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:41,600 Speaker 1: that's format dependent. I think I would probably rather have 273 00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:43,120 Speaker 1: Holmes than. 274 00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:46,719 Speaker 3: However, in point formats, he's also a spark, which can 275 00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:48,839 Speaker 3: be helpful, and you know, especially for the two start 276 00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:54,840 Speaker 3: week unless he gets minus seventeen points. Like to interact it. Yeah, 277 00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:58,760 Speaker 3: a pitcher off to a slow start, you say, Kakuchi, I. 278 00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:03,520 Speaker 1: Think I'd rather have Bush, but I don't think that's 279 00:13:03,559 --> 00:13:06,440 Speaker 1: like off on the range. 280 00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:08,880 Speaker 3: And then the one hitter I included was Tailor board, 281 00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:11,080 Speaker 3: I'd rather I want to trade for Tailor Ward if 282 00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:11,520 Speaker 3: I can. 283 00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:16,040 Speaker 1: I think I'd probably rather have Bush, but I wouldn't 284 00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:20,080 Speaker 1: argue strongly that you're wrong if you prefer Ward. 285 00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:24,240 Speaker 3: Well, there you go. That's my that's my cell High. 286 00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:26,960 Speaker 3: I just think he's after a really strong start, and 287 00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:28,400 Speaker 3: like I said, like the value was kind of like 288 00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:31,560 Speaker 3: at its peak because I rostered Michael Bush a bunch 289 00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:33,120 Speaker 3: of last year and there were just stretchers where I 290 00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:34,360 Speaker 3: just I couldn't use him and I had to, like 291 00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:35,800 Speaker 3: you know, he was like on and off my roster. 292 00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:38,760 Speaker 3: And even though I think he's probably a little bit 293 00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:40,360 Speaker 3: better this year, and obviously the clubs are buying in, 294 00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:43,560 Speaker 3: they're patting him clean up every day, I just think 295 00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:45,319 Speaker 3: the leftiest thing is going to be continued to be 296 00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:47,520 Speaker 3: a problem unless he really improves in that in that area, 297 00:13:47,559 --> 00:13:50,240 Speaker 3: and I don't know that he's going to, at least 298 00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:50,760 Speaker 3: not this year. 299 00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:55,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that's that's totally fair. We'll go to 300 00:13:55,280 --> 00:13:55,920 Speaker 2: my cell High. 301 00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:58,720 Speaker 1: The only pitcher on our Bilos Eye segment so far 302 00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:03,520 Speaker 1: today I Kevin Gosman, and it's it. 303 00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:04,959 Speaker 2: He has pitched well. 304 00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:09,400 Speaker 1: But I wonder if like I was somebody who was saying, 305 00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:11,240 Speaker 1: I think he could be a nice bounce back this year. 306 00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:12,960 Speaker 2: It looked like the velocity was back up. 307 00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:15,240 Speaker 1: In spring, and he was somebody I was interested in 308 00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:18,400 Speaker 1: investing him. And so I wonder if other folks who 309 00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:21,920 Speaker 1: had that same approach and did draft him are sitting 310 00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:26,120 Speaker 1: here saying he's the RAS two forty nine. You know, 311 00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:29,960 Speaker 1: his whip is zero point seventy to one. Gosman's back. 312 00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:33,920 Speaker 1: The strikeouts are not there. Twenty strikeouts and twenty five 313 00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:37,000 Speaker 1: in a thirds innings, and a lot of the strikeouts came. 314 00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:41,280 Speaker 2: Literally half of them came. Is that literally? 315 00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:41,480 Speaker 1: Half? 316 00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:42,440 Speaker 2: Am I doing my math right? 317 00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:42,840 Speaker 3: Yes? 318 00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:45,680 Speaker 2: Literally? Half? I was like leaking a different number. Half 319 00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:46,840 Speaker 2: of them gave in that one. 320 00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:49,120 Speaker 1: The excellent start that he had against the Red Sox, 321 00:14:49,160 --> 00:14:50,880 Speaker 1: it was a superb start, you know, not taking that 322 00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:54,560 Speaker 1: away from him. The rest of his season has been good, 323 00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:59,280 Speaker 1: like very startable, but not some elite ace. And if 324 00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:01,880 Speaker 1: you are if you think there's anybody in your league 325 00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:04,760 Speaker 1: who's looking at this as like Kevin Gossman is kind 326 00:15:04,760 --> 00:15:08,280 Speaker 1: of back and expecting the era where he I mean, 327 00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:11,280 Speaker 1: prior to last season, he had three straight years of 328 00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:14,560 Speaker 1: two hundred plus strikeouts if you can trade him as 329 00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:18,000 Speaker 1: a guy that people are expecting that out of, you 330 00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:19,920 Speaker 1: should do that because you're not going to get that 331 00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:20,280 Speaker 1: this year. 332 00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:21,680 Speaker 2: I feel very strongly about that. 333 00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:25,040 Speaker 1: His FIP is a lot higher than what his era 334 00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:28,840 Speaker 1: is now it's three eighty four compared to that era 335 00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:33,120 Speaker 1: of two forty nine. I think Kevin Goslain is a 336 00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:35,040 Speaker 1: good picture. So it's not like I'm saying dumping med 337 00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:37,920 Speaker 1: Ay cost, but if you can get somebody to trade 338 00:15:37,920 --> 00:15:40,320 Speaker 1: for him as like not an ace. Nobody thinks he's 339 00:15:40,360 --> 00:15:43,120 Speaker 1: an ace, but as maybe a better picture than he is, 340 00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:47,360 Speaker 1: especially given that I'm worried about those strikeouts, then would 341 00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:49,520 Speaker 1: I would be willing to make that move. Like not 342 00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:52,520 Speaker 1: to mention the fact that he's in his mid thirties now, 343 00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:55,240 Speaker 1: like you never know with injuries and how he'll last 344 00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:58,480 Speaker 1: throughout the season. You know when you get when you 345 00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:00,520 Speaker 1: get up to that age. But I think that whip's 346 00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:01,960 Speaker 1: going up. I mean it's definitely going to go up. 347 00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:04,920 Speaker 1: It's not going to stay seventy one. I think that 348 00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:07,000 Speaker 1: era is definitely going to finish in the three's, not 349 00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:07,760 Speaker 1: the twos. 350 00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:08,920 Speaker 2: And I think he's going to. 351 00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:13,160 Speaker 1: Be not a lot under but under under a strikeout 352 00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:15,040 Speaker 1: peraining by the time we get to the end of 353 00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:17,480 Speaker 1: the season, and all that added up. If you find 354 00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:19,760 Speaker 1: somebody who's more of a believer than me, I think 355 00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:20,480 Speaker 1: you make that deal. 356 00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:24,160 Speaker 3: Yeah. His like you mentioned, his FIP is three eight 357 00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:26,840 Speaker 3: four x Rap three eight eight, Sierra three seven five 358 00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:30,800 Speaker 3: x Era three three three. It's interesting that his K 359 00:16:30,880 --> 00:16:33,400 Speaker 3: per nine is down from eight eight oh six to 360 00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:37,920 Speaker 3: seven point eleven. His K percentage is actually slightly up. 361 00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:39,520 Speaker 3: It was twenty one point four percent last year and 362 00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:41,600 Speaker 3: sitting at twenty two percent this year, So it's kind 363 00:16:41,640 --> 00:16:42,200 Speaker 3: of hard. 364 00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:44,760 Speaker 1: But still well down from twenty twenty three and before. 365 00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:48,080 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, because because he had that stretch where it 366 00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:51,960 Speaker 1: was like starting in twenty nineteen, it was K rate 367 00:16:52,120 --> 00:16:54,760 Speaker 1: was twenty five percent. I'm not gonna read the decimals, 368 00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:57,360 Speaker 1: but about twenty five percent, thirty two percent, twenty nine percent, 369 00:16:57,400 --> 00:17:00,600 Speaker 1: twenty eight percent, thirty one percent. Then las year dropped 370 00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:02,840 Speaker 1: all way down to twenty one and then twenty two 371 00:17:02,920 --> 00:17:03,680 Speaker 1: so far this year. 372 00:17:04,080 --> 00:17:06,320 Speaker 3: Yeah, well, even even looking at like twenty twenty three 373 00:17:06,320 --> 00:17:08,720 Speaker 3: and twenty twenty four, like side by side, it's kind 374 00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:11,040 Speaker 3: of a drastic drop because he threw like the same 375 00:17:11,040 --> 00:17:13,480 Speaker 3: amount of innings one eighty five versus one eighty one. 376 00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:16,239 Speaker 3: But in one one of those years he struck out 377 00:17:16,280 --> 00:17:18,720 Speaker 3: two hundred and thirty seven and the next one to 378 00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:22,760 Speaker 3: one and sixty two, So a massive, massive difference despite 379 00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:24,080 Speaker 3: the innings being almost identical. 380 00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:27,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, so again, I like Gosman, actually have him in 381 00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:31,760 Speaker 1: a number of leagues. But I'm trying to sell high, 382 00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:34,720 Speaker 1: not sell, but sell high if I can, uh, if 383 00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:35,159 Speaker 1: I can do that. 384 00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:38,320 Speaker 3: I like that. I like that you you wrote up 385 00:17:38,359 --> 00:17:40,679 Speaker 3: two players for our article for this week, and then 386 00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:43,760 Speaker 3: chose two different players for this segment. 387 00:17:43,840 --> 00:17:46,119 Speaker 1: Well, the article, the the players I wrote up in 388 00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:50,280 Speaker 1: the article, which everybody should go check out fantasypros dot com. 389 00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:53,879 Speaker 1: What are players I picked last week on the show. 390 00:17:54,119 --> 00:17:55,920 Speaker 1: That's still When it came down to write the article, 391 00:17:55,920 --> 00:17:58,360 Speaker 1: I hadn't really started prepping for this week yet, and 392 00:17:58,440 --> 00:18:01,480 Speaker 1: so rather than do that, I was like, everything I 393 00:18:01,520 --> 00:18:03,480 Speaker 1: said on the show last week still applies. So I'm 394 00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:04,879 Speaker 1: just gonna put Brent Rooker again. 395 00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:06,679 Speaker 2: Who is a picture? Oh? 396 00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:10,000 Speaker 1: I put Lodola right, yeah yeah yeah, And we talked 397 00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:11,520 Speaker 1: about those guys last week, so I wanted to mix 398 00:18:11,560 --> 00:18:13,640 Speaker 1: it up, But yes I did. I did that thought 399 00:18:13,680 --> 00:18:17,760 Speaker 1: did cross my mind.

Who is your 406 00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:40,600 Speaker 1: favorite hitter? 407 00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:44,920 Speaker 3: So, my favorite hitter, I went pretty deep this week. 408 00:18:45,080 --> 00:18:47,280 Speaker 3: I haven't. I haven't always gone the deepest in previous weeks. 409 00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:49,359 Speaker 3: This one, I would, I would argue, was pretty deep. 410 00:18:50,480 --> 00:18:54,920 Speaker 3: Chase my draft who. I think it's a pretty good hitter, 411 00:18:55,119 --> 00:19:00,320 Speaker 3: pretty good contact hitter who like maybe not the most power, 412 00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:02,359 Speaker 3: maybe not the most speed. I just think he's a 413 00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:04,680 Speaker 3: really good hitter. And the note I wanted to add 414 00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:06,159 Speaker 3: when I was writing it up this morning is that 415 00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:09,879 Speaker 3: today he's betting leadoff. Obviously not the best lineup. He's 416 00:19:09,920 --> 00:19:12,840 Speaker 3: on the White Sox, but still, you know, he was 417 00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:17,600 Speaker 3: kind of like he came up, he was betting like seventh, sixth, fifth, sixth, fifth, leadoff, 418 00:19:18,280 --> 00:19:21,159 Speaker 3: and so there's value, you know, if especially for a 419 00:19:21,160 --> 00:19:23,080 Speaker 3: player like him who's just going to get on base. 420 00:19:23,320 --> 00:19:27,159 Speaker 3: He's actually the one, ironically who broke up the Garrett 421 00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:31,000 Speaker 3: Crochet no hitter the other day, ironically because he was 422 00:19:31,040 --> 00:19:33,119 Speaker 3: one of the big pieces in that gar Crochet trade. 423 00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:35,520 Speaker 3: And so he's the one who broke up the no hitter. 424 00:19:36,280 --> 00:19:39,680 Speaker 3: And so far he's beat in two eighty six again, 425 00:19:39,680 --> 00:19:42,960 Speaker 3: no horme runs, no steals in one hundred and twenty 426 00:19:43,040 --> 00:19:46,480 Speaker 3: two games, and the miners in twenty twenty four seven 427 00:19:46,520 --> 00:19:48,720 Speaker 3: home runs, thirteen steals, but a two ninety three average. 428 00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:49,800 Speaker 3: So I think he's a guy who's going to get 429 00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:52,639 Speaker 3: on base. He's going to run a little bit when 430 00:19:52,680 --> 00:19:54,240 Speaker 3: the weather gets warm, where he might you know, I 431 00:19:54,280 --> 00:19:57,840 Speaker 3: think his ceiling is probably ten home runs fifteen solen bases, 432 00:19:57,880 --> 00:20:01,000 Speaker 3: and even that might be a little optimistic. But if 433 00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:03,560 Speaker 3: he's betting leadoff, he can give you a nice little 434 00:20:03,840 --> 00:20:06,440 Speaker 3: batting average boost and he might score some runs even 435 00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:09,360 Speaker 3: though it's a bad lineup. And I'm in a bunch 436 00:20:09,359 --> 00:20:11,199 Speaker 3: of leagues where I can use some batting average, and 437 00:20:11,240 --> 00:20:13,479 Speaker 3: I can use a player who just you know, like 438 00:20:13,720 --> 00:20:15,159 Speaker 3: we mentioned a bunch of players who are off to 439 00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:19,719 Speaker 3: slow starts. He's someone who's hitting now and who I 440 00:20:19,760 --> 00:20:22,640 Speaker 3: think you know, I would like to add, because he's 441 00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:26,760 Speaker 3: just got really good like plate disibin back to to 442 00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:30,639 Speaker 3: ball like his his walk rate is usually like much 443 00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:32,359 Speaker 3: higher than a strikeout rate, which you don't see a 444 00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:37,040 Speaker 3: lot of. So just like a really like solid, great 445 00:20:37,080 --> 00:20:38,000 Speaker 3: plan at the plate hitter. 446 00:20:39,920 --> 00:20:41,360 Speaker 2: I think this is a good call. 447 00:20:41,359 --> 00:20:41,600 Speaker 3: I don't. 448 00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:45,400 Speaker 1: I don't really have any pushback on this one. I 449 00:20:45,440 --> 00:20:49,600 Speaker 1: and like you said, kind of super available, kind of 450 00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:52,399 Speaker 1: looking deeper. So yeah, I don't have anything to disagree 451 00:20:52,440 --> 00:20:55,359 Speaker 1: with you on. I went a little deeper as well. 452 00:20:56,800 --> 00:21:00,520 Speaker 1: I went Jake Mangum. I have pronounce them that right, right, 453 00:21:01,440 --> 00:21:03,040 Speaker 1: you guys catch. 454 00:21:02,840 --> 00:21:03,640 Speaker 3: Me on vacach. 455 00:21:03,840 --> 00:21:05,280 Speaker 2: I believe so he's one. 456 00:21:05,320 --> 00:21:07,120 Speaker 3: I always read it as magnum, So. 457 00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:11,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, I caught myself there. Yeah. 458 00:21:11,160 --> 00:21:14,520 Speaker 1: At any rate, this is like strictly a stolen bases 459 00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:17,439 Speaker 1: play and batting average, I think to a degree, but 460 00:21:18,480 --> 00:21:20,359 Speaker 1: clearly not somebody you're ever going to get any power 461 00:21:20,359 --> 00:21:22,879 Speaker 1: out of. He does not have a single barrel on 462 00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:29,159 Speaker 1: the season. It's literally barrel percentage of zero. But despite that, 463 00:21:29,520 --> 00:21:32,520 Speaker 1: he's batting three twenty seven. He has seven stolen bases already. 464 00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:35,399 Speaker 1: His on base percentage is over three point fifty. I 465 00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:37,960 Speaker 1: think this is largely who he is as a player. 466 00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:40,520 Speaker 1: So if you can afford a guy who's not going 467 00:21:40,560 --> 00:21:43,439 Speaker 1: to hit a single home run this season, quite by 468 00:21:43,800 --> 00:21:46,680 Speaker 1: his launch angle is negatives on the season right now, 469 00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:48,800 Speaker 1: Like that's this is the type of player areas he 470 00:21:48,840 --> 00:21:52,040 Speaker 1: doesn't walk a ton, but he also basically never strikes out, 471 00:21:52,680 --> 00:21:55,720 Speaker 1: and he is so fast I really expect, Like his 472 00:21:55,760 --> 00:21:58,200 Speaker 1: batting average on balls and play this year is three 473 00:21:58,280 --> 00:22:01,439 Speaker 1: sixty four. That's very in line with what it was 474 00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:03,919 Speaker 1: in the minors. Like, this is somebody who, with his 475 00:22:04,040 --> 00:22:06,439 Speaker 1: speed and the fact that he doesn't strike out, I 476 00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:10,760 Speaker 1: think can sustain quality batting averages even without you know, 477 00:22:10,880 --> 00:22:14,520 Speaker 1: barreling of the ball every time out there and having 478 00:22:14,600 --> 00:22:16,639 Speaker 1: kind of the stat cast page that would make you 479 00:22:16,640 --> 00:22:18,679 Speaker 1: think the batting average is going to be high. I 480 00:22:18,720 --> 00:22:21,119 Speaker 1: think he's one of those outlier types, just given that 481 00:22:21,119 --> 00:22:24,080 Speaker 1: he doesn't strike out and is a ninetieth percentile sprint 482 00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:26,880 Speaker 1: speed type of a guy, and every time he's on base, 483 00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:28,679 Speaker 1: you're expecting a stolen base. I don't think he's been 484 00:22:28,680 --> 00:22:30,520 Speaker 1: caught yet this year. If he has, then I didn't 485 00:22:30,840 --> 00:22:33,800 Speaker 1: then I missed that. I don't know that he's going 486 00:22:33,880 --> 00:22:35,439 Speaker 1: to get a ton of playing time the whole season. 487 00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:38,480 Speaker 1: He could get market corrected by Chandler Simpson at some point, 488 00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:44,280 Speaker 1: but for now, if you need stolen bases, take advantage 489 00:22:44,440 --> 00:22:46,760 Speaker 1: it would be. This is not a pick him up 490 00:22:46,760 --> 00:22:48,200 Speaker 1: to be a league winner the rest of the way. 491 00:22:48,280 --> 00:22:50,439 Speaker 1: This is pick him up, get some batting average, get 492 00:22:50,480 --> 00:22:52,199 Speaker 1: some steals out of him, and then be willing to 493 00:22:52,240 --> 00:22:53,680 Speaker 1: drop him when the time comes. 494 00:22:54,520 --> 00:22:57,159 Speaker 3: He's also twenty nine years old, making I believe his 495 00:22:57,760 --> 00:23:00,760 Speaker 3: MLB debut this season at twenty nine years old, So 496 00:23:00,760 --> 00:23:03,240 Speaker 3: shout out to him for sticking with it. This feels 497 00:23:03,280 --> 00:23:05,960 Speaker 3: like a raised player, just like a guy with a 498 00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:07,919 Speaker 3: specific skill set that they were just like, you know, 499 00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:10,560 Speaker 3: this fits this, This broken toy fits perfectly with what 500 00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:13,680 Speaker 3: we got going on down here. And maybe who knows 501 00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:15,639 Speaker 3: that that's stein Bernerfield, Maybe he might sneak out of 502 00:23:15,920 --> 00:23:17,560 Speaker 3: a few home runs down there in the summer if 503 00:23:17,560 --> 00:23:20,200 Speaker 3: he's still in the lineup. Like you said, it's a 504 00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:22,600 Speaker 3: short term play. Who knows how long he's going to 505 00:23:22,640 --> 00:23:24,280 Speaker 3: be in the lineup. But seven Stone bases, it's seven 506 00:23:24,320 --> 00:23:26,640 Speaker 3: Stone bases and those you know, those those count Fore. 507 00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:29,640 Speaker 1: You're in any league that soul bases matter which most 508 00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:32,960 Speaker 1: leagues do, he will get you the stolen bases. And 509 00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:36,520 Speaker 1: I think be a good batting average guy too. You 510 00:23:36,560 --> 00:23:38,439 Speaker 1: mentioned that you need batting average in a lot of places, 511 00:23:38,520 --> 00:23:41,000 Speaker 1: like I think he will help you there too, even 512 00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:43,720 Speaker 1: if not to the same degree as the as the steals. 513 00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:45,800 Speaker 1: All right, let's look at our favorite pictures? 514 00:23:45,960 --> 00:23:46,320 Speaker 2: Do you have? 515 00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:49,600 Speaker 3: So it was tough this week. It was tough to 516 00:23:49,600 --> 00:23:54,280 Speaker 3: find a picture. I had to dig pretty deep, and 517 00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:57,160 Speaker 3: I was gonna go with Tyler Molly, but I figured 518 00:23:57,480 --> 00:23:59,600 Speaker 3: someone we alreadys talked about a little bit last week. 519 00:24:00,359 --> 00:24:03,720 Speaker 3: His roster percentage is probably already creeping up in your league, 520 00:24:03,720 --> 00:24:06,960 Speaker 3: depending on when waivers run. So I decided to go 521 00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:10,400 Speaker 3: a little bit deeper with a pitcher who is off 522 00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:13,760 Speaker 3: to a strong start. Jose Kintana. Not the sexiest name 523 00:24:13,760 --> 00:24:16,360 Speaker 3: out there. You know, it's kind of been around forever. 524 00:24:17,680 --> 00:24:21,080 Speaker 3: He's in his mid thirties, never had the best stuff, 525 00:24:21,760 --> 00:24:22,640 Speaker 3: Just kind of a guy. 526 00:24:23,560 --> 00:24:26,320 Speaker 2: But you're really selling them, I know. 527 00:24:26,560 --> 00:24:28,760 Speaker 3: But here's the thing. He's off to a strong start. 528 00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:30,440 Speaker 3: I believe he's lined up to be a two star 529 00:24:30,440 --> 00:24:32,760 Speaker 3: pitcher this week, unless I have that wrong. 530 00:24:33,040 --> 00:24:34,720 Speaker 2: I think you're right about that. 531 00:24:34,320 --> 00:24:35,920 Speaker 3: I think yeah. So he's lined up to be a 532 00:24:35,920 --> 00:24:37,879 Speaker 3: two star pitcher this week, so a great streaming option, 533 00:24:38,800 --> 00:24:40,520 Speaker 3: and he's just off to a really good start for 534 00:24:40,560 --> 00:24:42,159 Speaker 3: a brusting that really needs pitching. 535 00:24:41,960 --> 00:24:44,120 Speaker 2: At the Giants at the Cardinals. 536 00:24:44,600 --> 00:24:49,320 Speaker 3: Yeah, that's terrible. You know, Giants ballpark is fine, Cardinals 537 00:24:49,320 --> 00:24:50,879 Speaker 3: are after a good start, so that could be a 538 00:24:50,880 --> 00:24:54,200 Speaker 3: tougher one. But you know, and if you need pitching 539 00:24:54,240 --> 00:24:56,359 Speaker 3: and you need a streamer, he's a pretty good option 540 00:24:56,440 --> 00:24:57,919 Speaker 3: on the waiver wire. And let me tell you, I 541 00:24:58,000 --> 00:24:59,440 Speaker 3: was I spent a lot of time on this because 542 00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:01,040 Speaker 3: I was trying to to find someone better than jose 543 00:25:01,119 --> 00:25:04,000 Speaker 3: Kntana and I couldn't, at least not someone who's likely 544 00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:08,280 Speaker 3: to be available. He's fifteen percent Yahoo, nine percent ESPN, 545 00:25:08,359 --> 00:25:14,000 Speaker 3: twenty six percent CBS, and yeah, like he's probably not 546 00:25:14,080 --> 00:25:17,159 Speaker 3: someone you're gonna keep for, you know, the whole season. 547 00:25:17,160 --> 00:25:19,280 Speaker 3: But if you need a streamer for this week, jose 548 00:25:19,320 --> 00:25:21,320 Speaker 3: Kntana has got two starts coming his way, and he's 549 00:25:21,320 --> 00:25:23,520 Speaker 3: got so far as zero point seventy to one ERA, 550 00:25:23,880 --> 00:25:27,840 Speaker 3: although his expected numbers are multiple runs higher than that. 551 00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:32,680 Speaker 1: It's funny that you looked at the available pictures and thought, well, 552 00:25:32,760 --> 00:25:34,440 Speaker 1: there's a lot of good options, so maybe this guy 553 00:25:34,440 --> 00:25:36,639 Speaker 1: could be a streamer. I did the exact opposite. I 554 00:25:36,680 --> 00:25:38,639 Speaker 1: looked at the pictures and said, well, there's not a 555 00:25:38,640 --> 00:25:40,800 Speaker 1: lot of good options, so let's pick up somebody that 556 00:25:40,840 --> 00:25:42,439 Speaker 1: I think could be good later in the season. 557 00:25:42,640 --> 00:25:44,040 Speaker 2: So I went with Chase Dolander. 558 00:25:44,760 --> 00:25:47,879 Speaker 1: He is basically the same roster percentages as Jose Quintana, 559 00:25:48,320 --> 00:25:51,160 Speaker 1: except for on CBS he's twice as rostered, but Yahoo 560 00:25:51,160 --> 00:25:54,800 Speaker 1: and ESPN he's He's basically identical to your pick, and 561 00:25:55,520 --> 00:25:59,400 Speaker 1: he is obviously like a high level prospect with the Rockies. 562 00:25:59,480 --> 00:26:03,040 Speaker 1: I know with the Rockies is not the most exciting, 563 00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:06,760 Speaker 1: but his strength as a pitcher is the opposite. Actually yes, 564 00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:09,240 Speaker 1: but his strength as a picture is the fastball velocity, 565 00:26:09,280 --> 00:26:11,760 Speaker 1: which I do think plays a little better in Colorado 566 00:26:11,840 --> 00:26:14,880 Speaker 1: than maybe guys who rely on more like breaking ball 567 00:26:14,880 --> 00:26:18,800 Speaker 1: and like movement pitches. So you know, it will be 568 00:26:18,840 --> 00:26:21,159 Speaker 1: an obstacle for him to overcome throughout his career anytime 569 00:26:21,200 --> 00:26:23,760 Speaker 1: he's pitching a home game. But I think he's a 570 00:26:23,800 --> 00:26:27,080 Speaker 1: really talented prospect. I believe he was inside the top 571 00:26:27,119 --> 00:26:30,960 Speaker 1: twenty five on MLB pipeline. Coming into the season, I 572 00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:32,840 Speaker 1: didn't really expect him actually to make his debut as 573 00:26:32,880 --> 00:26:35,240 Speaker 1: early as he did this year, and he already has 574 00:26:35,560 --> 00:26:38,520 Speaker 1: thirteen strikeouts and ten to two thirds innings. The era 575 00:26:38,720 --> 00:26:42,359 Speaker 1: is over five, the whip is over. It's one twenty two. Like, 576 00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:44,040 Speaker 1: I'm not saying that you pick him up and start 577 00:26:44,080 --> 00:26:46,960 Speaker 1: starting him right away. I think the strikeout upside is 578 00:26:47,119 --> 00:26:50,199 Speaker 1: very legitimate, though, and I think as he adjusts to 579 00:26:50,240 --> 00:26:52,359 Speaker 1: the big leagues, he will do a better job of 580 00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:54,080 Speaker 1: keeping the ball in the ballpark, which has been a 581 00:26:54,080 --> 00:26:57,560 Speaker 1: struggle for him so far to start the year. And 582 00:26:57,840 --> 00:26:59,800 Speaker 1: I think he'll be a playable pitcher by the second 583 00:26:59,840 --> 00:27:02,679 Speaker 1: half of the season, if with more upside beyond that. 584 00:27:03,040 --> 00:27:04,679 Speaker 2: So, like I said, you took kind of the. 585 00:27:04,640 --> 00:27:06,040 Speaker 1: Short term view with there not being a lot of 586 00:27:06,040 --> 00:27:07,720 Speaker 1: good options, I took a long term view with there 587 00:27:07,720 --> 00:27:09,640 Speaker 1: not being a lot of good options, and said, if 588 00:27:09,640 --> 00:27:12,159 Speaker 1: you have the ability to have a picture on your 589 00:27:12,200 --> 00:27:14,200 Speaker 1: offer that you're not really looking to start right away, 590 00:27:15,359 --> 00:27:17,400 Speaker 1: but that you can hold on to, I think there's 591 00:27:17,400 --> 00:27:20,359 Speaker 1: real upside going for especially if you need strikeouts. I 592 00:27:20,359 --> 00:27:22,440 Speaker 1: think that's gonna be the category he helps you most 593 00:27:22,480 --> 00:27:25,920 Speaker 1: in what do you make of I mean it's only 594 00:27:25,960 --> 00:27:27,640 Speaker 1: been two starts, but what we've seen so far out 595 00:27:27,640 --> 00:27:28,480 Speaker 1: of dyl Lander. 596 00:27:29,440 --> 00:27:31,119 Speaker 3: I mean, there's lots to like. It's just you know, 597 00:27:31,200 --> 00:27:33,000 Speaker 3: the elephant in the room that you already mentioned is 598 00:27:33,040 --> 00:27:34,879 Speaker 3: that it's you know, Colorado of coursefield. 599 00:27:35,440 --> 00:27:36,919 Speaker 2: But if you're not starting it start to cut you off. 600 00:27:36,960 --> 00:27:39,959 Speaker 1: But if you're not starting him every week anyway, like 601 00:27:40,040 --> 00:27:43,000 Speaker 1: your expectation is not that you could just save him 602 00:27:43,119 --> 00:27:45,800 Speaker 1: for the way starts. If that is enough of a 603 00:27:45,840 --> 00:27:48,080 Speaker 1: concern for you, Like if you're already kind of you're 604 00:27:48,119 --> 00:27:51,280 Speaker 1: not viewing him as an every week starter, then you know, 605 00:27:51,320 --> 00:27:54,000 Speaker 1: I'm not sure how much that matters, like if you're 606 00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:56,359 Speaker 1: picking and choosing your spots with him. 607 00:27:56,520 --> 00:27:59,760 Speaker 3: Yeah, he's a guy who has like great to a 608 00:27:59,800 --> 00:28:01,840 Speaker 3: lead like stuff like if you if you want to 609 00:28:01,840 --> 00:28:03,800 Speaker 3: talk about like the stuff plus model, he has like 610 00:28:03,840 --> 00:28:07,000 Speaker 3: really good stuff. He greades out really well. There really 611 00:28:07,240 --> 00:28:11,280 Speaker 3: strong track record and the miners coming up. It's just 612 00:28:11,320 --> 00:28:14,520 Speaker 3: like I can't get that Colorado stink off my mind 613 00:28:14,560 --> 00:28:17,080 Speaker 3: when when talking about pictures, which like I honestly, you know, 614 00:28:17,160 --> 00:28:18,879 Speaker 3: this is a bigger conversation, Like I think it's a 615 00:28:18,880 --> 00:28:21,480 Speaker 3: real problem with like obviously, like course field has been 616 00:28:21,480 --> 00:28:24,480 Speaker 3: around like forever. It's not going away. But it's not 617 00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:26,639 Speaker 3: just like the way the ball flies there, like the 618 00:28:26,680 --> 00:28:29,760 Speaker 3: ball with pitchers like just doesn't move the same. And 619 00:28:29,800 --> 00:28:31,160 Speaker 3: so like they have to you have to like learn 620 00:28:31,160 --> 00:28:33,600 Speaker 3: how to pitch and course field because like your slider 621 00:28:33,640 --> 00:28:34,800 Speaker 3: doesn't move when your curveballs. 622 00:28:34,840 --> 00:28:36,920 Speaker 1: That's why I actually the fastball velocity is such a 623 00:28:36,920 --> 00:28:39,880 Speaker 1: strong thing for him, possibly translating a little bit better 624 00:28:39,920 --> 00:28:40,560 Speaker 1: in Colorado. 625 00:28:41,760 --> 00:28:43,640 Speaker 3: Yeah, that's the scary part. Other than that, if you know, 626 00:28:43,680 --> 00:28:46,280 Speaker 3: if we're talking about him like on the Pirates or 627 00:28:46,320 --> 00:28:48,640 Speaker 3: like you know, some other like neutral location, I would 628 00:28:48,680 --> 00:28:52,240 Speaker 3: be excited about him. It's just the Colorado stuff is tough. 629 00:28:52,280 --> 00:28:53,480 Speaker 3: But yeah, if you're kind of like. 630 00:28:54,120 --> 00:28:57,120 Speaker 1: I wonder, I haven't looked actually in recent years, so 631 00:28:57,160 --> 00:28:58,640 Speaker 1: I wonder if this is still true. But I know 632 00:28:58,640 --> 00:29:01,280 Speaker 1: at one point, I some of the thought about Cores 633 00:29:01,440 --> 00:29:04,600 Speaker 1: was like it's such a big outfield that it's actually 634 00:29:04,600 --> 00:29:06,959 Speaker 1: more of a better like doubles and triples park than 635 00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:10,000 Speaker 1: home runs necessarily, like obviously the ball still does travel. 636 00:29:10,720 --> 00:29:12,720 Speaker 1: I wonder because home runs have been a problem for 637 00:29:12,800 --> 00:29:14,800 Speaker 1: him in his first two starts. He's given up four 638 00:29:14,800 --> 00:29:18,080 Speaker 1: of them already. I wonder if the home games almost 639 00:29:18,120 --> 00:29:21,000 Speaker 1: maybe play a little to his favor with the outfield 640 00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:23,320 Speaker 1: being as big as it is and cores. That would 641 00:29:23,320 --> 00:29:24,720 Speaker 1: require me to look into it a little more. I 642 00:29:24,760 --> 00:29:26,600 Speaker 1: don't want to speak to out out of hand. 643 00:29:26,640 --> 00:29:28,680 Speaker 2: There, I pulled it up real quick. 644 00:29:28,920 --> 00:29:32,000 Speaker 3: Okay, so let's take a look the if we're just 645 00:29:32,040 --> 00:29:34,960 Speaker 3: talking about I just pulled up the park factors leaderboard 646 00:29:34,960 --> 00:29:41,160 Speaker 3: on Stockcast number one the Rockies of course field, but 647 00:29:41,240 --> 00:29:44,480 Speaker 3: if we're going by just home runs, they are one 648 00:29:44,480 --> 00:29:47,600 Speaker 3: oh seven, which is above average. One hundred is average, 649 00:29:48,800 --> 00:29:50,880 Speaker 3: which puts them in the top nine, So they're like 650 00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:53,000 Speaker 3: not the most and that's this is over the last 651 00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:54,960 Speaker 3: three years, so they're still like top ten. 652 00:29:55,080 --> 00:29:56,760 Speaker 1: So I'm right that it's not to the same degree 653 00:29:56,800 --> 00:29:59,360 Speaker 1: as some of the other stuff with the park factor, 654 00:29:59,440 --> 00:30:01,440 Speaker 1: but it is still an issue. 655 00:30:01,960 --> 00:30:04,120 Speaker 3: Also, triples off the chart two oh three. 656 00:30:04,400 --> 00:30:07,479 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's always been there. Like the triples. It's crazy. 657 00:30:07,520 --> 00:30:10,600 Speaker 1: I've seen so many triples live like relative to how 658 00:30:10,880 --> 00:30:13,200 Speaker 1: common of an occurrence it is in a baseball game, 659 00:30:13,560 --> 00:30:15,600 Speaker 1: and not just since moving to Denver, like even at 660 00:30:15,640 --> 00:30:17,840 Speaker 1: other scenarios. My buddy and I we were like trying 661 00:30:17,880 --> 00:30:19,600 Speaker 1: to count one time, Like every time we go to 662 00:30:19,640 --> 00:30:21,480 Speaker 1: a game, it seems like we see a triple that 663 00:30:21,600 --> 00:30:24,640 Speaker 1: has gotten up since going to Rockies games living out here, 664 00:30:24,680 --> 00:30:27,200 Speaker 1: But yeah, I see a lot of triples. 665 00:30:26,920 --> 00:30:29,200 Speaker 3: Are also were also number two in doubles. Do you 666 00:30:29,240 --> 00:30:31,280 Speaker 3: can you name the park that's number one in doubles? 667 00:30:34,360 --> 00:30:40,240 Speaker 1: My first guess is Fenway, just with the weird dimensions. Okay, yeah, 668 00:30:40,320 --> 00:30:42,200 Speaker 1: I was gonna say, I don't have a second guess 669 00:30:42,240 --> 00:30:43,680 Speaker 1: if it's not Fenway. 670 00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:46,080 Speaker 3: Yeah, a lot of people think Fenway is like a 671 00:30:46,080 --> 00:30:48,000 Speaker 3: big home run park. It's not. It's a blow average 672 00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:49,440 Speaker 3: home run park. Well, it's a doubles park. 673 00:30:49,520 --> 00:30:53,160 Speaker 1: Well, directly down the line is easy, but the rest 674 00:30:53,160 --> 00:30:56,320 Speaker 1: of it is like a pretty deep outfield or the Monster. 675 00:30:56,560 --> 00:31:00,880 Speaker 3: So yeah, well yeah, or the monster or like straightaway 676 00:31:00,920 --> 00:31:03,320 Speaker 3: center to like right center is four twenty huge, Yeah, 677 00:31:03,400 --> 00:31:06,440 Speaker 3: it's a straight away right field is three eighty, but 678 00:31:06,640 --> 00:31:07,520 Speaker 3: like straight. 679 00:31:07,280 --> 00:31:09,160 Speaker 2: Away redfield that's not right down the line right down 680 00:31:09,200 --> 00:31:09,480 Speaker 2: the line. 681 00:31:09,560 --> 00:31:11,120 Speaker 3: No, no, no, I'm talking about like strict like where the 682 00:31:11,200 --> 00:31:13,200 Speaker 3: right fielder plays is three down the line. 683 00:31:13,080 --> 00:31:15,760 Speaker 1: Is like literally literally outside of down the line. That 684 00:31:15,800 --> 00:31:17,400 Speaker 1: whole park is difficult a home. 685 00:31:17,360 --> 00:31:20,000 Speaker 3: Run, Well, it goes like because it's like round yeah, 686 00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:21,720 Speaker 3: after the poll, it goes like straight. 687 00:31:21,440 --> 00:31:25,200 Speaker 1: Back yeah yeah, so uh yeah interesting. 688 00:31:26,120 --> 00:31:27,680 Speaker 3: Oh you want to hit some deep league targets? 689 00:31:27,880 --> 00:31:29,880 Speaker 2: Say, I lost my thought. Yeah, we'll dive back into 690 00:31:29,960 --> 00:31:31,880 Speaker 2: the quickly, right through the deep league targets. 691 00:31:33,120 --> 00:31:37,480 Speaker 3: So we mentioned already for favorite hitters for waivers, Chase 692 00:31:37,480 --> 00:31:41,760 Speaker 3: my draft, Jake Mangum and then pictures Josek and Towna, 693 00:31:41,880 --> 00:31:45,680 Speaker 3: Chase Dollander. Some deep league targets if you need some 694 00:31:45,720 --> 00:31:49,040 Speaker 3: of these. Peven Smith, he's been off to a hot 695 00:31:49,080 --> 00:31:51,400 Speaker 3: start as a hitter. Again, these probably aren't guys you're 696 00:31:51,400 --> 00:31:54,520 Speaker 3: gonna roster forever, but you need help in in deeper leagues. Uh. 697 00:31:54,600 --> 00:31:56,520 Speaker 3: Nick Barntinez is an interesting one. He's off to a 698 00:31:56,560 --> 00:32:00,400 Speaker 3: rough start. He has a two start week coming up. However, 699 00:32:00,880 --> 00:32:03,520 Speaker 3: one of those two stars is at Colorado. The first 700 00:32:03,520 --> 00:32:07,480 Speaker 3: one is against Miami, very favorable spot for him to bounce. 701 00:32:07,520 --> 00:32:09,000 Speaker 2: And it is Colorado, a tough park to pitch in. 702 00:32:09,040 --> 00:32:09,960 Speaker 2: Pull up the park factor. 703 00:32:11,520 --> 00:32:13,680 Speaker 3: I believe it is. I believe it is. Mike or 704 00:32:13,720 --> 00:32:16,600 Speaker 3: Stremsky is a guy I mentioned last week, still available, 705 00:32:16,760 --> 00:32:21,400 Speaker 3: still hitting really well. Cameron Meisner, another one of the 706 00:32:21,400 --> 00:32:24,440 Speaker 3: eight hundred players that the Rays have that are available 707 00:32:24,640 --> 00:32:27,239 Speaker 3: just producing for them right now. Matt Murvis is off 708 00:32:27,240 --> 00:32:29,080 Speaker 3: to a strong star and then Tyler Anderson, who's had 709 00:32:29,080 --> 00:32:32,720 Speaker 3: some recent good recent years, is off to another pretty 710 00:32:32,720 --> 00:32:34,840 Speaker 3: good start. So if you need another pitching option, Tyler 711 00:32:34,880 --> 00:32:36,280 Speaker 3: Anderson should be available for you. 712 00:32:36,880 --> 00:32:38,200 Speaker 1: All Right, We got to wrap up there because we 713 00:32:38,280 --> 00:32:39,920 Speaker 1: went a little long in this segment.
