4
00:00:15,120 --> 00:00:17,560
Speaker 1: just got to hang out with for an entire week

5
00:00:17,600 --> 00:00:22,040
Speaker 1: in Las Vegas. I came out unscathed. Welsh not so much.

6
00:00:22,200 --> 00:00:26,159
Speaker 1: But you gotta get that hand sanitizer, Welsh. It's a

7
00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:27,800
Speaker 1: dirty place, Las Vegas. That's what.

8
00:00:27,960 --> 00:00:30,800
Speaker 2: Well, when you go to bed at nine pm every

9
00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:33,279
Speaker 2: single night, Joey, you're probably gonna do a little bit

10
00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:35,520
Speaker 2: better than us in Vegas who were out a little

11
00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:36,400
Speaker 2: later than nine pm.

12
00:00:36,560 --> 00:00:38,400
Speaker 1: I did not go to bed at nine pm. I

13
00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:40,760
Speaker 1: did go to bed at around midnight. And some of

14
00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:42,880
Speaker 1: the other guys went out there to play. That's that's

15
00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:47,640
Speaker 1: their prerogative. My wallet is full, my lungs are empty.

16
00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:50,800
Speaker 1: So I'm a happy boy right now. But we are

Speaker 1: trying to figure out, we're happy to help you out

35
00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:37,000
Speaker 1: with those. I see Wonky Penguin is here with us.

36
00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:41,000
Speaker 1: It's like coming home. She's right, Kelly's right, it is

37
00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:42,960
Speaker 1: like coming home. I love the Wonky pengu I'm gonna

38
00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:45,480
Speaker 1: get to see the Wonky Penguin. She's coming up in March,

39
00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:48,480
Speaker 1: so that's gonna be a good time there. But let's

40
00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:50,440
Speaker 1: start with some news here. I see the questions filtering in.

41
00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:51,720
Speaker 1: We're gonna get to the questions. I want to start

42
00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:53,040
Speaker 1: with some news here. I want to start with Lad

43
00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:56,760
Speaker 1: Guerrero Junior because I think that is not surprising. We'll

44
00:01:56,760 --> 00:01:59,040
Speaker 1: do a wellness check on Joel Rico because Vlad Guerreau

45
00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:02,040
Speaker 1: did not sign an extension. What a shock with the

46
00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:04,440
Speaker 1: Toronto Blue Jays. I think the guys that have a

47
00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:07,040
Speaker 1: monstrous year, I think money talks. I think he started

48
00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:09,680
Speaker 1: to smell it last year at the end, and it

49
00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:12,080
Speaker 1: feels like Vlad is going to go out there, test

50
00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:15,480
Speaker 1: that market and get paid. Welsh, I'm looking for big things,

51
00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:19,000
Speaker 1: especially with Santander now in that lineup and with a

52
00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:21,600
Speaker 1: hopeful bounce back of bobus Shit, I think that Toronto

53
00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:24,680
Speaker 1: lineup is going to be a lot better than people realize. Also,

54
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:26,760
Speaker 1: at the top of that lineup, some questions going on

55
00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:29,680
Speaker 1: who's going to lead off? Could it be Springer? It

56
00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:32,840
Speaker 1: might even be Wagner, It could be Andre Samenez too,

57
00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:34,959
Speaker 1: who might be in that mix. So let's talk about

58
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:38,359
Speaker 1: the Vlattie contract. Your thoughts and what you think about

59
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:41,120
Speaker 1: that leadoff spot. How valuable it is it to one

60
00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:42,760
Speaker 1: of those three guys potentially?

61
00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:45,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I don't think Vlattie is going to

62
00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:48,160
Speaker 2: re sign, even though he wants to be, you know,

63
00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:52,360
Speaker 2: there for life. He was like, were they close? No,

64
00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:55,200
Speaker 2: not even close, And the blue Jays thought they were

65
00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:58,240
Speaker 2: competitive for the blue Jays. So someone's gonna come in

66
00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:01,600
Speaker 2: and they're going to offer six hundred million, and it's

67
00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:03,360
Speaker 2: just Blue Jays are not going to get there. And

68
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:06,160
Speaker 2: I think I don't know if to pull the trigger

69
00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:08,120
Speaker 2: in the season if the season falls away from them

70
00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:09,359
Speaker 2: and they know they're not going to resign. But I

71
00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:11,400
Speaker 2: do think the team is strong. I think Santander is

72
00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:13,680
Speaker 2: in line for a big, strong season. I'll tell you,

73
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:16,079
Speaker 2: I think he's kind of a trade target, little bit

74
00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:19,600
Speaker 2: batting average, susceptible. He might hurt you. And I'm also

75
00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:22,880
Speaker 2: here for the bounce back of Bobachett. You'll see in

76
00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:25,920
Speaker 2: the Expert Consensus Ranks, which are available on Fantasy Pros

77
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:28,400
Speaker 2: right now. You can check out ECR. You also can

78
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:31,760
Speaker 2: see the individual rankers. I am probably one of the

79
00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:33,959
Speaker 2: highest on Bobachett because I really do think he's gonna

80
00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:36,880
Speaker 2: bounce back and I think he's a huge, huge benefit

81
00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:38,920
Speaker 2: to your fantasy team as low as he's going. So

82
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:41,240
Speaker 2: it's a good spot kind of across the board.

83
00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:44,280
Speaker 1: My friend, Yes, look Fred Dinger back here. It's good

84
00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:46,480
Speaker 1: to see Freddie. Look, it is like seeing all the

85
00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:48,800
Speaker 1: old friends. James, A's got a question and then we're

86
00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:50,240
Speaker 1: going to go to Boston. I guess they in the

87
00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:53,200
Speaker 1: American Leaguees. We've got some more stuff heating up there.

88
00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:57,120
Speaker 1: James keep Sandy al Contra or Boden Francis in the

89
00:03:57,160 --> 00:04:00,640
Speaker 1: sixteenth round. It's a Contra for me, it's not close.

90
00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:02,760
Speaker 1: I like Francis, I'm very intrigued by him, but at

91
00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:05,120
Speaker 1: the same time, I can't go that route. I mean

92
00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:07,920
Speaker 1: our Contra coming back. He's had a long enough time away.

93
00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:10,480
Speaker 1: He's already they named the opening day starter. That feels

94
00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:12,040
Speaker 1: good to me. Welsh, where do you go here?

95
00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:13,600
Speaker 2: Did you say you're al Contra?

96
00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:16,120
Speaker 1: Al Contra all the way? Zero chill for me.

97
00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:17,400
Speaker 2: I do like.

98
00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:19,680
Speaker 1: And he's gonna get traded to this year. You know

99
00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:21,640
Speaker 1: he's gonna get dealt. I'm telling you that's coming.

100
00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:24,360
Speaker 2: That shift, that'll be a great thing. I will tell you.

101
00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:29,680
Speaker 2: I'm not one hundred percent sure if al Contra is

102
00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:31,920
Speaker 2: even gonna be like really in play for the Cubs.

103
00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:33,760
Speaker 2: There's a great video that's out there. I think he

104
00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:37,200
Speaker 2: I think he took Shotto Emonaga just deep in some

105
00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:39,960
Speaker 2: of those early practices, and I love the tool set.

106
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:42,760
Speaker 2: It's just about opportunity for him. Here's my problem with

107
00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:45,120
Speaker 2: Bowden Francis is Bowden Francis had we.

108
00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:47,680
Speaker 1: Talked about the same talking about the pitcher Sandy al Contra.

109
00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:49,640
Speaker 1: Who are you talking about? Oh?

110
00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:51,719
Speaker 2: I think this is Do you think this is a

111
00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:52,599
Speaker 2: Sandy al Contra.

112
00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:55,280
Speaker 1: I've talked you assume because last year he got him cheap.

113
00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:59,159
Speaker 1: So James, I'm assuming you're saying Sandy al Contra. That's

114
00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:02,560
Speaker 1: I'm listening to Welsh going what Sandy doing grabbing a bat?

115
00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:03,760
Speaker 1: Is he changing position?

116
00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:07,800
Speaker 2: Contra? If we go to Kevin al Contra, this is

117
00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:10,160
Speaker 2: Bowden Francis. I just want to point this out real

118
00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:13,080
Speaker 2: quick because I agree with you. Tru this okay, Sam,

119
00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:16,200
Speaker 2: don't even ask this question. This ridiculous question, James, is

120
00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:19,799
Speaker 2: a ridiculous question. Sandy al Contra by four million miles.

121
00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:22,360
Speaker 2: But the reason he's asking the question is because of

122
00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:25,440
Speaker 2: the second half by Bowden Francis. I thought Kevin al

123
00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:27,880
Speaker 2: Contra was like a real question. But he had a

124
00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:30,640
Speaker 2: one eight e R in the second half, fifty eight

125
00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:34,360
Speaker 2: strikeouts to eight walks, over sixty five innings Bowden did,

126
00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:36,880
Speaker 2: and this pretty phenomenal stuff. I mean, you know, there

127
00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:39,880
Speaker 2: were some decent strikeout numbers, especially in the second half.

128
00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:43,680
Speaker 2: He's a good late keeper, but not over Sandy.

129
00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:47,080
Speaker 1: Not okay, thank goodness. I was like, what I thought,

130
00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:48,680
Speaker 1: maybe Las Vegas changed you.

131
00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:53,239
Speaker 2: First rospect guy, I went to Contra mister Cross.

132
00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:55,960
Speaker 1: That guy goes right to you know, the the youngest players.

133
00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:58,480
Speaker 1: They already's talking about them. Uh okay. I did the

134
00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:00,320
Speaker 1: right up for both these guys. In fancy his bow

135
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:02,320
Speaker 1: Black book on Amazon right now, you can go check

136
00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:04,520
Speaker 1: that out. I do all the picture profiles, and francis

137
00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:08,320
Speaker 1: stunning profile. Like I'm very excited about him this year.

138
00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:10,640
Speaker 1: But look, Sandy's already be named O big day starter.

139
00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:13,920
Speaker 1: Sandy is a cy young candidate. You can't go past there. Also,

140
00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:17,040
Speaker 1: speaking of cy young candidates returning from Tommy John, look

141
00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:20,920
Speaker 1: at this segue Sean McClanahan. Uh you saw him throw

142
00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:22,320
Speaker 1: a bull No, you didn't see him through a bullpen.

143
00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:24,720
Speaker 2: I didn't see it. Ap I didn't. I didn't fly

144
00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:25,880
Speaker 2: to Florida.

145
00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:27,400
Speaker 1: That's right there with Arizona.

146
00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:29,400
Speaker 2: With all this stuff going on with planes, I don't

147
00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:31,039
Speaker 2: want to get on a plane again. I'm lucky I

148
00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:34,840
Speaker 2: got home at this point. But no, uh, we were

149
00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:38,480
Speaker 2: talking off air, Sea Sea. Mcclanahan's really important here. I

150
00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:40,840
Speaker 2: was very like timid about I loved him, one of

151
00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:42,440
Speaker 2: my favorite pictures. I think I had him like number

152
00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:45,960
Speaker 2: one in Dynasty two years ago that injury. He was

153
00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:49,560
Speaker 2: really struggled right before the injury, probably because of the

154
00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:51,479
Speaker 2: injury and then coming back, there was just still some

155
00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:53,560
Speaker 2: questions like what was this going to look like? We

156
00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:55,960
Speaker 2: we had had some more affirmatives about Sandy al Contra.

157
00:06:56,279 --> 00:06:59,080
Speaker 2: Two things make me feel great. A. They already announced

158
00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:01,360
Speaker 2: McClanahan is good go. They're not going to have any

159
00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:04,800
Speaker 2: type of limitation. A. That's awesome for me. B Through

160
00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:08,000
Speaker 2: a session just the other day, we're talking February ninety seven,

161
00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:10,160
Speaker 2: ninety eight. I love seeing that he's already on the

162
00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:11,680
Speaker 2: top of the v Low. It's one of the best

163
00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:14,680
Speaker 2: change ups in baseball. Just getting a full season with

164
00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:18,720
Speaker 2: like very minimal maybe holding back makes me feel way better.

165
00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:21,160
Speaker 2: And he is a freaking steel man, and I think

166
00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:23,520
Speaker 2: I had him too. Low. I'm going to take a

167
00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:23,880
Speaker 2: look here.

168
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:26,920
Speaker 1: I want to say yeah, I want to say they're

169
00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:29,600
Speaker 1: in that fifty range, like fifty to sixty. I think

170
00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:31,160
Speaker 1: from what I saw over the weekend. I don't know

171
00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:34,320
Speaker 1: if that's changed. Fifty to sixty one in the overall

172
00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:36,520
Speaker 1: pitching ranks. Right now in Fantasy pros.

173
00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:41,160
Speaker 2: He's won twenty five overall. That's the pitch ranks.

174
00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:43,920
Speaker 1: But while you're looking for that ranking, look, look, these

175
00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:45,440
Speaker 1: are two guys. Both of them I picked up in

176
00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:48,920
Speaker 1: my home league last year and in the draft where

177
00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:50,760
Speaker 1: I paid a buck for one and two bucks for

178
00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:52,600
Speaker 1: the other one and just stashed them because I was

179
00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:54,840
Speaker 1: a rebuilding team. And I'm so glad that I did,

180
00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:56,960
Speaker 1: because now I've got both of those guys who could

181
00:07:57,080 --> 00:07:58,080
Speaker 1: very well be aces.

182
00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:00,640
Speaker 2: I think that was Sandy by the way, he was thirty.

183
00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:03,400
Speaker 2: He's thirty eight, so he's higher than you were saying.

184
00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:06,760
Speaker 2: But I still think that's too low. I think McClanahan

185
00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:10,120
Speaker 2: legit has top twenty sp I still think there's gonna

186
00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:12,920
Speaker 2: be some type of like I mean, in a full world,

187
00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:14,240
Speaker 2: like you could be a top five pitcher.

188
00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:16,840
Speaker 1: Oh, but like it's going to take let's wait and see,

189
00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:18,800
Speaker 1: how you know, Let's let's let's wait and see him

190
00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:20,960
Speaker 1: throw the hitters, and like you know, getting some game action,

191
00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:22,800
Speaker 1: all that stuff, and then I agree, it's gonna be

192
00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:24,720
Speaker 1: a meteorc rise in ADP for all of them. If

193
00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:27,320
Speaker 1: you're in early best balls, take advantage now. If you're

194
00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:29,760
Speaker 1: in early drafts, take advantage now. It's going to change.

195
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:32,000
Speaker 1: The other thing that's interesting with McClanahan too, is how

196
00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:34,000
Speaker 1: this you know, new ballpark situation is going to play

197
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:36,320
Speaker 1: out for them. So being you know, away from Tampa,

198
00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:38,880
Speaker 1: which was a pitcher haven, it's gonna be a little

199
00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:42,640
Speaker 1: different now being outdoors in that in that ballpark. So

200
00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:45,880
Speaker 1: mclann han's a good enough picture. Doesn't matter to a

201
00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:48,080
Speaker 1: certain degree, but I am curious to see how it

202
00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:50,240
Speaker 1: all plays out because we don't know at the end

203
00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:52,640
Speaker 1: of the day, and it can't be as good probably

204
00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:55,720
Speaker 1: as the situation he was pitching an indoors. So let's

205
00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:58,320
Speaker 1: go to car Lows, good friend of the show. Yes,

206
00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:01,240
Speaker 1: I got a question. Is Elido Cruz a number one

207
00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:01,960
Speaker 1: round pick?

208
00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:05,840
Speaker 2: He's trolling? He's trolling. Carlos is a troll. Carlos always trolls.

209
00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:08,160
Speaker 2: I'm trying to remember who did Carlos.

210
00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:09,520
Speaker 1: Troll me about the Brandon fought.

211
00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:12,520
Speaker 2: No, I don't know if it was Brandon fought. Carlos

212
00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:16,040
Speaker 2: definitely trolled last year the brand fought guy. It might

213
00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:18,880
Speaker 2: have been, but I mean he also said all jokes aside, Uh,

214
00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:22,160
Speaker 2: great season, Yes, breaking news, Elie de la Cruz is

215
00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:24,160
Speaker 2: a one round pick.

216
00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:27,280
Speaker 1: Or however, I think we have the graphic here? H

217
00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:27,880
Speaker 1: oh it is.

218
00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:30,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's Carlos right there. He was the Brandon five. Yeah,

219
00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:34,559
Speaker 2: let's read. This is what Carlos said. Go back, go back, no,

220
00:09:34,679 --> 00:09:35,080
Speaker 2: go back to.

221
00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:38,120
Speaker 1: Don't worry, seth, I got this one, seth ar.

222
00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:41,199
Speaker 2: You want a great if you want a great pitcher

223
00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:45,200
Speaker 2: performance today, Joe Musgrove, Charlie Morton, Garrett Crochet, Carlos Prasco.

224
00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:47,600
Speaker 2: But if you want to lose points, listen to Welsh

225
00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:50,679
Speaker 2: and go ahead and pick up Brandon fought. Oh what

226
00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:54,000
Speaker 2: was the stat line after stupid Carlos said his comment

227
00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:59,160
Speaker 2: six and he's seven strikeouts and boom goes to dynamite.

228
00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:00,680
Speaker 2: Look at your actually do love you?

229
00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:01,600
Speaker 1: I do love so good.

230
00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:03,160
Speaker 2: It was a better time.

231
00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:06,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, this offseason was not kind to you. I mean,

232
00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:10,199
Speaker 1: I guess it was tough there, tough for you there.

233
00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:14,200
Speaker 1: Let's talk about Boston too. I saw Scott White had

234
00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:15,640
Speaker 1: a great tweet about this, so I don't want to

235
00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:16,760
Speaker 1: take credit for it, but he had a Game of

236
00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:20,440
Speaker 1: Thrones related tweet. Uh. You know the line that Taiwan

237
00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:23,080
Speaker 1: Lanister says, if you have to say that you're king,

238
00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:26,280
Speaker 1: then you're not the king, right, so if Raphael Devers

239
00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:27,920
Speaker 1: it was the same was the picture of Taiwen Lantis

240
00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:29,560
Speaker 1: and it said if you have to say you're the

241
00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:31,680
Speaker 1: third baseman, then you're not the third baseman. And I

242
00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:36,280
Speaker 1: thought that was very clever. Alex Bregman taking grounders at third, like,

243
00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:38,360
Speaker 1: it makes sense to move Devers off of there. It's

244
00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:41,920
Speaker 1: going to make your team infinitely better defensively. You can

245
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:45,120
Speaker 1: put Devers at DH or you want to play Cossas

246
00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:47,400
Speaker 1: at DH and Devors at first, Like, however you want

247
00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:50,120
Speaker 1: to shake it, but to move Bregman to third, it

248
00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:52,520
Speaker 1: opens up Christian Campbell at second base sooner than later,

249
00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:55,679
Speaker 1: which I think is something that they would like to do.

250
00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:58,280
Speaker 1: So will are you going to read too much into

251
00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:01,679
Speaker 1: this early ground ball? I mean, are we overreacting here

252
00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:04,719
Speaker 1: or is this something really that we should be kind

253
00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:06,840
Speaker 1: of figuring out? Because right now, Rafael Devers is doing

254
00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:10,240
Speaker 1: separate workouts in both field and cage work during his

255
00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:14,240
Speaker 1: shoulder rehab, but the separate workouts, again we're not sure exactly.

256
00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:17,080
Speaker 1: Is that also him maybe taking some work at first

257
00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:19,439
Speaker 1: base a little bit and not wanting the public to see.

258
00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:23,080
Speaker 2: I mean, that's pretty speculative. I don't know. I think

259
00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:25,240
Speaker 2: the only issue out of all of this, or the

260
00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:29,679
Speaker 2: thing to read into, is that Raphael Devers was adamant

261
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:32,240
Speaker 2: that he is a third baseman, and also his teammate

262
00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:34,960
Speaker 2: Tristan Costs has just came in, and you know, it's like, hey,

263
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:37,560
Speaker 2: we could just like isolate these incidents and stuff like that,

264
00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:40,560
Speaker 2: and cost this is like av yesk me Devas should

265
00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:42,440
Speaker 2: be the third basement. By the way, we should never

266
00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:44,960
Speaker 2: bring up the prospects. He's like, don't bring up Anthony,

267
00:11:45,040 --> 00:11:47,640
Speaker 2: don't bring up Campbell. It just makes it messy. What

268
00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:50,240
Speaker 2: I'm getting at is like Bregman playing at second and third,

269
00:11:50,520 --> 00:11:53,839
Speaker 2: completely normal, Campbell running second, playing the outfield. This is

270
00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:57,040
Speaker 2: all normal for flexibility, position, flexibility across the board. So

271
00:11:57,400 --> 00:12:00,480
Speaker 2: it's not you know, it's nothing crazy. He did something

272
00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:03,960
Speaker 2: to watch. It's gonna be a show. It's probably they

273
00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:06,400
Speaker 2: should probably do some type of hard knock show and

274
00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:07,040
Speaker 2: follow the Red.

275
00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:10,079
Speaker 1: Why doesn't MLB do that? They got a million hours?

276
00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:15,320
Speaker 2: Aren't hits art hits scrap? How HBO hard hits Baseball

277
00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:16,840
Speaker 2: Boston Red Sox twenty.

278
00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:18,760
Speaker 1: Need to pitch this to MLB network. Let's get on there.

279
00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:20,880
Speaker 1: Let's pitch us to MLB network. We'll shoot it. We'll

280
00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:22,800
Speaker 1: do it. It'll be fun. I mean, think about all.

281
00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:25,000
Speaker 1: I mean, do I have to watch Baseball Seasons nineteen

282
00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:26,440
Speaker 1: eighty one for the thousandth time?

283
00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:28,319
Speaker 2: I mean, Thankers says they did follow last year. I

284
00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:28,760
Speaker 2: don't remember.

285
00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:30,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, Fred, if we didn't see it, it doesn't matter,

286
00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:33,760
Speaker 1: it didn't happen, by the way, And Carlos, we love you,

287
00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:36,960
Speaker 1: by the way, we're just give your car back here

288

00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:43,320
Speaker 2: like we love Yeah, it's not too much where it's like,

292
00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:47,080
Speaker 2: it's just playful and fun enough.

293
00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:49,200
Speaker 1: I can't believe you didn't remember that Carlos was the

294
00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:51,200
Speaker 1: one that gave us the Brandon Fop moment last year.

295
00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:54,200
Speaker 2: I remember Carlos, I just didn't remember what the moment.

296
00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:57,760
Speaker 1: Well, there producer says he wants your workout routine, so

297
00:12:57,880 --> 00:13:01,200
Speaker 1: you have to give him that too. It involves it

298
00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:03,560
Speaker 1: involves funians. Seth, that's what it involved.

299
00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:06,000
Speaker 2: I don't like funians. Actually, let's say ironic. You pick that.

300
00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:07,200
Speaker 2: That would be something I do.

319
00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:02,040
Speaker 1: let's get to some more questions. Rene's out of question here,

320
00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:07,360
Speaker 1: Reagan's Crochet or Gilbert ooh blows. Took a lot of

321
00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:10,800
Speaker 1: lumps last year on the logan Gilbert Traine just want

322
00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:11,240
Speaker 1: to say.

323
00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:13,280
Speaker 2: I did, I did. I did get a little bit

324
00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:15,120
Speaker 2: of that, and it was relative. Renee had said, pick

325
00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:18,199
Speaker 2: one of these three starting pictures to be your ace.

326
00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:21,120
Speaker 2: Mine is pretty clear if you've watched any of our

327
00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:23,600
Speaker 2: offseason shows. By the way, we got a litany of

328
00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:26,720
Speaker 2: incredible shows already on the YouTube channel. To make sure

329
00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:27,560
Speaker 2: you're locked into it.

330
00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:28,160
Speaker 1: It's a big word.

331
00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:32,080
Speaker 2: I'm stupid, dummy, I don't I know.

332
00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:34,480
Speaker 1: A few more working out for you.

333
00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:37,680
Speaker 2: All right, Well, if you've been following those videos, there's

334
00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:41,720
Speaker 2: one picture I take all the time. It is Garrett Crochet.

335
00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:44,960
Speaker 2: Garrett Crochet. I also I am in tout. I just

336
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:47,800
Speaker 2: took Garrett Crochet. It's a fifteen team draft and hold

337
00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:52,840
Speaker 2: industry just murderers across the board of industry people, and

338
00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:54,800
Speaker 2: I snapped up Crochet at the back end of the

339
00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:57,160
Speaker 2: second round a little bit early, but I wanted, you know,

340
00:14:57,160 --> 00:14:58,720
Speaker 2: in that format, I wanted to make sure to get

341
00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:02,120
Speaker 2: the high end strikeouts. Really can't go wrong. Gilbert proved

342
00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:05,520
Speaker 2: me wrong. I thought, the you know, like the fastball,

343
00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:07,920
Speaker 2: you want this like big popping fastball to let the

344
00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:10,920
Speaker 2: splitters really dominate. And I remember talking to Eno about

345
00:15:10,920 --> 00:15:12,480
Speaker 2: this last year and he agreed with me. But then

346
00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:14,440
Speaker 2: it was like, oh, well, the fastball just got better,

347
00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:17,440
Speaker 2: and then the splitter was great. And Reagan's is Reagans

348
00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:19,360
Speaker 2: as well. I mean, these are all really great. At

349
00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:22,560
Speaker 2: least two of them high end strikeout options. Gilbert probably

350
00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:25,880
Speaker 2: the lowest floor. Maybe Crochet is going to be a

351
00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:29,360
Speaker 2: little bit more susceptible in a hitter friendly environment, but

352
00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:31,800
Speaker 2: him also might lead the league in strikeouts, and there

353
00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:34,680
Speaker 2: are tons and tons of win opportunities with this offensive

354
00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:39,200
Speaker 2: support getting out of Chicago. So I love Garrett Crochet.

355
00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:43,320
Speaker 2: I've got him at I think SP four in my rank.

356
00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:45,920
Speaker 2: So Crochet is my pick. Are you different from me?

357
00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:49,960
Speaker 1: I would still go Gilbert personally. Again, Gilbert's the most

358
00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:52,400
Speaker 1: expensive probably of these three, I would think, although you

359
00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:54,040
Speaker 1: never know, I mean, some of these expert drafts. You're

360
00:15:54,040 --> 00:15:56,480
Speaker 1: seeing people you don't go early for Crochet. Crochet has

361
00:15:56,480 --> 00:16:00,280
Speaker 1: got incredible potential. My question is, was it look want

362
00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:02,200
Speaker 1: to get to one hundred and fifty innings and pass

363
00:16:02,320 --> 00:16:04,400
Speaker 1: that again? And I think I think it'll be okay,

364
00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:07,480
Speaker 1: like he had what one I think last year? You know,

365
00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:09,760
Speaker 1: I think it'll be okay. Is it gonna be different

366
00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:12,960
Speaker 1: environment for him? Will game matter more? More pressure, different

367
00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:15,200
Speaker 1: kind of media, the whole that like, I mean, different

368
00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:17,240
Speaker 1: kind of attention, different kind of pressure. I think he's

369
00:16:17,320 --> 00:16:19,360
Speaker 1: up for it. Crochet is the big swing. I'll say

370
00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:21,880
Speaker 1: this right, Crochet is the big swing. If you want

371
00:16:21,880 --> 00:16:23,960
Speaker 1: to go for the moon, if you want to play

372
00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:26,800
Speaker 1: it safer, it's Gilbert. Look, all three of them are good.

373
00:16:26,840 --> 00:16:28,960
Speaker 1: You could even say, if it's in a salary cap draft,

374
00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:32,080
Speaker 1: whoever comes cheaper it would be the best answer, because

375
00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:33,160
Speaker 1: I don't think at the end of the day they're

376
00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:36,960
Speaker 1: gonna be all that far apart in relative position value.

377
00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:40,760
Speaker 2: And consensus ranks. Right now, it's actually the answer is Gilbert.

378
00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:41,560
Speaker 2: I just want to throw.

379
00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:43,120
Speaker 1: Out I'm not surprised. I mean, Gilbert would be a

380
00:16:43,160 --> 00:16:43,840
Speaker 1: love choice too.

381
00:16:44,280 --> 00:16:46,920
Speaker 2: I'm actually surprised about this Gilbert's four. I didn't realize this.

382
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:50,480
Speaker 2: Gilbert is SP four on the consensus ranks on Fantasy pros,

383
00:16:50,880 --> 00:16:55,400
Speaker 2: Crochet is eight and Reagan's is nine. I am very

384
00:16:55,440 --> 00:16:57,040
Speaker 2: pro Crochet as far as that group.

385
00:16:57,320 --> 00:17:00,280
Speaker 1: A big crocheer, big big knitter, big crocheer. He loves

386
00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:02,160
Speaker 1: all of it. By the way, A set sent me

387
00:17:02,160 --> 00:17:03,520
Speaker 1: the link for this Red Sox thing, but it was

388
00:17:03,520 --> 00:17:06,720
Speaker 1: about last year's team. I want something that's like Hard Knocks,

389
00:17:06,760 --> 00:17:09,000
Speaker 1: where I'm watching two weeks of spring training and you're

390
00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:10,760
Speaker 1: giving me all the stuff and all the things going

391
00:17:10,760 --> 00:17:11,560
Speaker 1: on behind the sea.

392
00:17:11,840 --> 00:17:15,199
Speaker 2: MLB's a free weekly live. Yeah, it catches up for

393
00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:16,720
Speaker 2: the last week like hard.

394
00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:19,320
Speaker 1: Right, like Hard Knocks does. That's what we want here.

395
00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:20,800
Speaker 1: That's what we're looking for.

396
00:17:21,119 --> 00:17:25,040
Speaker 2: Hot hits. It's Boston on Netflix.

397
00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:27,520
Speaker 1: There you go. You'll get a little glitchy there. For

398
00:17:27,600 --> 00:17:29,080
Speaker 1: a second, I thought I was gonna have to get

399
00:17:29,080 --> 00:17:32,760
Speaker 1: Popping Welsh out there. Joey Navarro, good friend of the show.

400
00:17:32,800 --> 00:17:34,960
Speaker 1: I need help for my last keeper this year, either

401
00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:37,800
Speaker 1: Jackson Cheerio for a thirteenth, Devin Willis for a twenty second,

402
00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:40,040
Speaker 1: or Junior Kaminara for in eighteenth. My first keeper is

403
00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:43,520
Speaker 1: Ellie for a third Jackson Cheerio for me, Bro, I

404
00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:45,399
Speaker 1: love what I saw in the second half. I'm not

405
00:17:45,480 --> 00:17:47,000
Speaker 1: letting that guy go back to the pool. I can

406
00:17:47,040 --> 00:17:50,240
Speaker 1: always find saves, Kem and Aro. Very intriguing player, but

407
00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:53,239
Speaker 1: still some work to do. So it's Cheerio for me.

408
00:17:53,480 --> 00:17:55,920
Speaker 1: Still good costs on all these guys, But Cheerio is

409
00:17:55,960 --> 00:17:57,000
Speaker 1: my answer. What's your as wesh?

410
00:17:57,840 --> 00:18:01,600
Speaker 2: It's easy runaway jack Ex and Churio. Cavin Arrow's a

411
00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:04,679
Speaker 2: really good value in the eighteenth, but it's Cheerio.

412
00:18:05,280 --> 00:18:07,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, I would I would agree with that. All right,

413
00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:10,240
Speaker 1: let's go to Coconut. Head. Is Ali Ruchman a keeper

414
00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:14,600
Speaker 1: in a twelve team, five keeper dynasty league? You know,

415
00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:16,520
Speaker 1: it depends on what the rest of the roster looks like.

416
00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:19,040
Speaker 1: Head like, I don't know. I mean, it's it's a

417
00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:22,760
Speaker 1: tricky one for me. If it's a two catcher league.

418
00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:24,960
Speaker 2: Did you say it depends what it looks like? Head?

419
00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:27,960
Speaker 2: Did you go, hey, Head?

420
00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:31,760
Speaker 1: You know, all right, you want to go on Coco.

421
00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:34,639
Speaker 2: Coconut Maybe, Guy, I'm.

422
00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:37,359
Speaker 1: Gonna go with Coco instead. Coco. You know, for me,

423
00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:41,840
Speaker 1: I if it's a two catcher league, more so, I

424
00:18:42,080 --> 00:18:45,720
Speaker 1: would say probably no, for me, five keepers at a

425
00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:48,000
Speaker 1: twelve team league, I gotta imagine, And again it depends

426
00:18:48,040 --> 00:18:50,119
Speaker 1: on the other names out there, but I don't know.

427
00:18:50,200 --> 00:18:52,000
Speaker 1: I don't think that's where I'm going. How about you,

428
00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:53,439
Speaker 1: it's close.

429
00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:56,880
Speaker 2: I mean that's that's sixty players in a twelve team

430
00:18:56,880 --> 00:18:58,720
Speaker 2: with five So sixty players off the board and of

431
00:18:58,800 --> 00:19:03,439
Speaker 2: dynasty is somewhere between, probably like fifty and eighty. Depending

432
00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:06,240
Speaker 2: you're looking at everybody else's ranks, you could have an advantage.

433
00:19:06,680 --> 00:19:09,080
Speaker 2: I would imagine the person that has William Contreras is

434
00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:11,520
Speaker 2: going to keep him, So that's one catcher off the board.

435
00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:16,320
Speaker 2: But if it's like should I keep Tristan Cassis or Adley?

436
00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:18,520
Speaker 2: I would take Cassius or even if you start pushing

437
00:19:18,520 --> 00:19:20,880
Speaker 2: down some of the maybe a few of the younger names.

438
00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:24,480
Speaker 2: So it's a fringy, yes, you can keep him, But

439
00:19:24,760 --> 00:19:27,120
Speaker 2: I would say if it's a over another top fifty guy,

440
00:19:27,119 --> 00:19:30,880
Speaker 2: here's a really interesting one. What about Adley versus Lawrence Butler?

441
00:19:31,160 --> 00:19:34,399
Speaker 2: Because Butler was great, but he's unproved, he's unproven in

442
00:19:34,440 --> 00:19:37,439
Speaker 2: a line, and it's gonna he has a half season

443
00:19:37,480 --> 00:19:41,480
Speaker 2: of improvement, So are you willing to chew off Adley

444
00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:43,440
Speaker 2: for that half season of Butler.

445
00:19:43,080 --> 00:19:45,560
Speaker 1: I am, and I'll tell you why. Because of the

446
00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:48,240
Speaker 1: ballpark shift right playing in Sacramento, I think it's a

447
00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:51,520
Speaker 1: much more favorable ballpark. I really like that lineup. I

448
00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:53,199
Speaker 1: like what I saw out of bla Day. I think,

449
00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:55,320
Speaker 1: you know, Jacob Wilson's coming. They got all these prospects

450
00:19:55,359 --> 00:19:57,600
Speaker 1: coming through there. I think this is a much longer

451
00:19:57,680 --> 00:20:01,919
Speaker 1: better lineup than people realize. And I think Butler showed

452
00:20:01,960 --> 00:20:04,639
Speaker 1: you big time tools right. And if it's a Roto

453
00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:07,120
Speaker 1: situation too, the stolen bases are gonna matter. Like I mean,

454
00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:09,800
Speaker 1: Butler was the hottest guy in baseball for what a

455
00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:11,600
Speaker 1: good six weeks span in July and August. I mean,

456
00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:15,040
Speaker 1: the guy was just unreal. So I'm in. I'm I'm

457
00:20:15,080 --> 00:20:19,160
Speaker 1: there for Lawrence Butler, and I'll roll that dice with him. Rutchman,

458
00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:21,880
Speaker 1: I gotta see. I gotta see him have a dominant season.

459
00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:24,240
Speaker 1: Yet he's had a nice season and a disappointing season. I

460
00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:26,000
Speaker 1: think a little bit I want to see. I want

461
00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:28,199
Speaker 1: to see it'll put all together before I'm keeping him. Jordan,

462
00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:30,280
Speaker 1: By the way, I love that we have so many

463
00:20:30,320 --> 00:20:34,600
Speaker 1: people here already. We barely advertise this today. Everybody's here

464
00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:37,240
Speaker 1: hanging out with us already. I love you people. You

465
00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:38,800
Speaker 1: guys are the best. This is very long.

466
00:20:38,840 --> 00:20:40,679
Speaker 2: Producers had to remind us, by the way, because we

467
00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:43,400
Speaker 2: came back from Megas. Hey the Lawron's.

468
00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:45,640
Speaker 1: You got a live stream on Wednesday four o'clock. We're like, oh,

469
00:20:45,680 --> 00:20:48,840
Speaker 1: what you know, Well, she's all hungover. He lost all

470
00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:49,400
Speaker 1: his money.

471
00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:53,800
Speaker 2: At the hungover. I'm sick. You're sick in Vegas.

472
00:20:54,760 --> 00:20:57,960
Speaker 1: Jordan Jordan choked by the way. You want me to

473
00:20:57,960 --> 00:20:59,240
Speaker 1: call him by his last name, or you want to

474
00:20:59,240 --> 00:20:59,800
Speaker 1: stick with Jordan?

475
00:21:00,320 --> 00:21:02,280
Speaker 2: You know what, head and choke, let'sn't choke.

476
00:21:02,440 --> 00:21:06,040
Speaker 1: Let's just chances. James would is a top twenty pick

477
00:21:06,119 --> 00:21:10,040
Speaker 1: next season. I would say very good on a scale

478
00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:13,840
Speaker 1: of one to five. Five being the fact that he

479
00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:15,879
Speaker 1: was a he'd be a twenty A top twenty over

480
00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:17,840
Speaker 1: pick next year, I would say four and a half stars.

481
00:21:17,960 --> 00:21:19,000
Speaker 1: That's where I'm going there.

482
00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:23,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, like I could give you like arbitrary percentages.

483
00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:26,879
Speaker 2: I would say, like, you know, like forty percent chance,

484
00:21:26,960 --> 00:21:28,960
Speaker 2: forty five percent chance. I mean maybe that's even a

485
00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:33,320
Speaker 2: little too high. Projections are pretty favorable in James Wood's favor.

486
00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:36,399
Speaker 2: I really think he's improved his back to ball skills

487
00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:38,280
Speaker 2: left and he's hitting left his n righties, which I

488
00:21:38,280 --> 00:21:41,400
Speaker 2: think is so key to him. Big exit velocities, strikeout

489
00:21:41,480 --> 00:21:44,560
Speaker 2: numbers obviously got to come down, but like he's a

490
00:21:44,600 --> 00:21:48,240
Speaker 2: big tools player, he's probably gonna easily steal twenty. I

491
00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:50,520
Speaker 2: think he could be a thirty twenty guy. But in

492
00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:52,800
Speaker 2: that same token, it's funny, that's how I thought about

493
00:21:52,800 --> 00:21:55,520
Speaker 2: o'eil Cruz last year, and Cruz improved his batting average

494
00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:58,000
Speaker 2: but was stealing more bases than hitting homers. So I

495
00:21:58,040 --> 00:22:00,760
Speaker 2: don't know. I think the floor for James would twenty twenty.

496
00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:04,119
Speaker 2: The ceiling could be thirty thirty, and what's the gap

497
00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:06,720
Speaker 2: between that. You know, getting him outside the top twenty

498
00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:09,200
Speaker 2: and inside it's pretty good. So maybe when I say

499
00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:11,359
Speaker 2: forty percent doesn't sound like a lot to you guys,

500
00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:13,840
Speaker 2: that is like you got to crack the top twenty.

501
00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:16,919
Speaker 2: He definitely can get there. It's a pretty good high probability,

502
00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:20,119
Speaker 2: and that is why I'm investing in him. Him on

503
00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:22,680
Speaker 2: the upside, play Langford with a little bit of the floor,

504
00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:24,920
Speaker 2: Give me one of those players in every single draft

505
00:22:24,960 --> 00:22:25,200
Speaker 2: I do.

506
00:22:25,240 --> 00:22:27,640
Speaker 1: We've got a celebrity of the chat friend of mine,

507
00:22:27,720 --> 00:22:30,679
Speaker 1: Trevor Sikama. I can only assume this is Trevor. Trevor,

508
00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:32,800
Speaker 1: how you doing, buddy? Saw you on NFL Network. If

509
00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:35,560
Speaker 1: it's you, trev I know you're big sports guy. Hi.

510
00:22:36,160 --> 00:22:40,160
Speaker 1: So Trevor wants to go keep Tetis for Churio. This

511
00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:43,200
Speaker 1: is a very tempting here. It's very tempting to take Cheerio.

512
00:22:44,119 --> 00:22:46,800
Speaker 1: But I think I would lean towards Tetus for this year,

513
00:22:46,880 --> 00:22:49,840
Speaker 1: like I'm always trying to win. Right now, you could,

514
00:22:50,680 --> 00:22:54,840
Speaker 1: you know, see another sophomore adjustment phase potentially here at Cheerio.

515
00:22:54,960 --> 00:22:56,960
Speaker 2: But I think tech we got something better from Trevor.

516
00:22:57,000 --> 00:22:59,800
Speaker 2: He gave us, He gave us more fur more information.

517
00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:01,560
Speaker 2: This will help here. By the way, I thought this

518
00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:03,600
Speaker 2: was when I saw it. The TJ. Sikimo is a

519
00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:04,119
Speaker 2: picture for.

520
00:23:05,760 --> 00:23:09,960
Speaker 1: Kama, who is a draft genius. You know there out there.

521
00:23:09,840 --> 00:23:11,400
Speaker 2: No I understand, but I'm saying there's not so many

522
00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:13,960
Speaker 2: Skimas out there. But there's a picture TJ. Sikima. So

523
00:23:14,160 --> 00:23:16,840
Speaker 2: shout out but Tatis for thirty five, now Cheerio for

524
00:23:16,880 --> 00:23:19,320
Speaker 2: twenty six. And it looks like we also got Kittel

525
00:23:19,359 --> 00:23:23,040
Speaker 2: for twenty seven. These schemes for twenty in there. Yeah,

526
00:23:23,080 --> 00:23:24,720
Speaker 2: so it looks like I was.

527
00:23:24,680 --> 00:23:26,960
Speaker 1: Clearly watching the channel. That's all I could say from

528
00:23:27,040 --> 00:23:28,000
Speaker 1: looking at this team.

529
00:23:28,400 --> 00:23:31,520
Speaker 2: I feel like he's locked into maybe Skeens and Strider,

530
00:23:32,119 --> 00:23:35,280
Speaker 2: and then he's choosing between Cheerio and Tatis. With that question.

531
00:23:35,440 --> 00:23:38,960
Speaker 2: Based on this, I would take the discount I think

532
00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:41,240
Speaker 2: with Cheerio. I really like Tatis, but I don't think

533
00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:44,000
Speaker 2: Cheerio's that far off from Tatis, and that discount could

534
00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:47,800
Speaker 2: be pretty big. But I also personally would probably go Tatis,

535
00:23:47,880 --> 00:23:49,359
Speaker 2: Churio and Scheme.

536
00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:51,679
Speaker 1: That's what I would just see that. That's what I

537
00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:54,159
Speaker 1: would be doing too. I would be going Skiens to

538
00:23:54,359 --> 00:23:56,679
Speaker 1: I would throw Kittel Marte back in the pile and

539
00:23:56,760 --> 00:24:00,679
Speaker 1: realize its Strider. Although at nine dollars extremely tempting. That

540
00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:03,040
Speaker 1: would be one where again you throw him back in there,

541
00:24:03,080 --> 00:24:05,600
Speaker 1: and what you go draft him for twice as much.

542
00:24:05,840 --> 00:24:07,760
Speaker 1: At least you know he isn't going to be back,

543
00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:10,280
Speaker 1: you know, till good three months into the season if

544
00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:12,320
Speaker 1: there's no setbacks. And I think that's always a hard

545
00:24:12,320 --> 00:24:13,800
Speaker 1: thing too, because you look at a guy like Strider

546
00:24:13,800 --> 00:24:15,639
Speaker 1: and you know what the upside is you've seen it.

547
00:24:15,640 --> 00:24:18,719
Speaker 1: It's spectacular. But at the same time, you also have

548
00:24:18,800 --> 00:24:20,920
Speaker 1: to understand while he's he's going to miss a significant

549
00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:23,520
Speaker 1: portion of the season. You don't know if there's a setback.

550
00:24:23,560 --> 00:24:25,680
Speaker 1: And when you only have a limited amount of keepers,

551
00:24:25,920 --> 00:24:27,760
Speaker 1: you keep that guy and things don't go well where

552
00:24:27,800 --> 00:24:29,439
Speaker 1: it gets pushed back and he doesn't come back for

553
00:24:29,480 --> 00:24:32,200
Speaker 1: another like an extra month or six weeks. That really

554
00:24:32,200 --> 00:24:36,320
Speaker 1: crushes you. So I'm with Welsh cheerio tatis schemes. I

555
00:24:36,440 --> 00:24:38,439
Speaker 1: keep those big three and I roll and then I

556
00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:41,520
Speaker 1: figure the rest out there. Good stuff there. Here's here's

557
00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:44,960
Speaker 1: another question we've got here too. This one is from Hawk.

558
00:24:45,560 --> 00:24:50,639
Speaker 1: Keep Lindor in the third or Ozuna in the seventeenth.

559
00:24:50,720 --> 00:24:53,240
Speaker 2: I mean those are like two different, completely scoped things.

560
00:24:53,280 --> 00:24:55,520
Speaker 2: A Zuna is like just whether or not you believe.

561
00:24:55,240 --> 00:24:58,359
Speaker 1: Ozuna can continue to do what he's been doing, or

562
00:24:58,400 --> 00:25:00,879
Speaker 1: do you believe that Lindor continues to be a premium player.

563
00:25:02,280 --> 00:25:04,119
Speaker 2: Okay, I'll give you an answer. If I'm gonna give

564
00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:06,080
Speaker 2: a couple of an actually it's your job. Well I

565
00:25:06,119 --> 00:25:08,120
Speaker 2: could not. I could just be like, get out of here, Hawk.

566
00:25:09,880 --> 00:25:14,400
Speaker 2: If this is a low amount of keepers, I really

567
00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:16,840
Speaker 2: just don't care about the discount. I'm taking Lindorf. This

568
00:25:16,960 --> 00:25:20,400
Speaker 2: is like three keepers, four keepers. I'm keeping Lindor because

569
00:25:20,400 --> 00:25:25,120
Speaker 2: he's the best player, middle infield, first round talent. If

570
00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:29,160
Speaker 2: this is like you need to save on the discount,

571
00:25:29,960 --> 00:25:31,879
Speaker 2: I guess I can't. You know what, I can't not

572
00:25:32,040 --> 00:25:35,200
Speaker 2: keep Lindor here. I'm a he said, four keepers, keeping

573
00:25:35,240 --> 00:25:37,800
Speaker 2: Lindor third. He's the best player. Ozuna is a really

574
00:25:37,800 --> 00:25:42,000
Speaker 2: good value. I think he's gonna like, well, Lindor. I agree,

575
00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:44,520
Speaker 2: it's well gonna push over the seventeenth round value. But

576
00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:45,320
Speaker 2: Lindor's the play.

577
00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:47,400
Speaker 1: Lindor's the play for me to give me the premium

578
00:25:47,440 --> 00:25:49,720
Speaker 1: guys at a slight discount over the guys that have

579
00:25:49,760 --> 00:25:52,000
Speaker 1: had good seasons. But I mean, I know Ozuna in

580
00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:53,920
Speaker 1: the past too. We've seen him have good years and

581
00:25:53,960 --> 00:25:56,840
Speaker 1: then disappear. You know, I don't think Lindor's disappeared. And

582
00:25:57,040 --> 00:25:59,359
Speaker 1: the idea of Lindor hitting in front of one soda

583
00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:03,680
Speaker 1: this year is six to midnight baby, like all day soon.

584
00:26:03,720 --> 00:26:07,000
Speaker 2: It's going to destroy that rank value. But Lindor is

585
00:26:07,040 --> 00:26:09,119
Speaker 2: also going to beat his and he's a first round talent,

586
00:26:09,200 --> 00:26:09,840
Speaker 2: So there you go.

587
00:26:10,240 --> 00:26:13,320
Speaker 1: Like that. You like concise. That's the Welsh right there.

588
00:26:13,359 --> 00:26:16,760
Speaker 1: Adam points league Gunner, Henderson or Lindor. I think I

589
00:26:16,800 --> 00:26:17,720
Speaker 1: know Welsh will say.

590
00:26:17,520 --> 00:26:19,679
Speaker 2: Here Gunner, it's always Gunner.

591
00:26:19,760 --> 00:26:21,919
Speaker 1: Yeah, I would agree here. I would agree on that

592
00:26:21,960 --> 00:26:22,520
Speaker 1: one too.

593
00:26:22,400 --> 00:26:24,280
Speaker 2: To Gunner and tout always Gunner.

594
00:26:24,440 --> 00:26:26,720
Speaker 1: There you go, Oh so tout happened for you already.

595
00:26:27,480 --> 00:26:30,760
Speaker 2: We're in it right now. I'm three rounds in sop.

596
00:26:31,600 --> 00:26:35,480
Speaker 2: We're in a slow draft, OBP. I started Gunner because

597
00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:38,080
Speaker 2: I took the sixth spot. I took Gunner over Jose

598
00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:40,919
Speaker 2: Ramirez just for a little bit of a tiny bit

599
00:26:40,920 --> 00:26:43,160
Speaker 2: of obb push, and then I decided to go crochet

600
00:26:43,160 --> 00:26:44,760
Speaker 2: on the back, and then I went closer in the

601
00:26:44,800 --> 00:26:47,600
Speaker 2: third round. So doing a very draft and hody type

602
00:26:47,600 --> 00:26:47,880
Speaker 2: of thing.

603
00:26:48,280 --> 00:26:51,280
Speaker 1: Mike was a Mike good to be back, Mike Carlos.

604
00:26:51,359 --> 00:26:54,320
Speaker 1: Let's get Carlos a real thing here. So Otani and

605
00:26:54,359 --> 00:26:58,280
Speaker 1: Judge are gone. Who's your number three? Bobby Wit for me?

606
00:26:58,440 --> 00:27:02,000
Speaker 1: Zero chill hesitation there for me, Carlos, you ZiT o.

607
00:27:02,280 --> 00:27:04,199
Speaker 2: Bobby Wit always bym Bobby Witch should be too.

608
00:27:04,240 --> 00:27:05,800
Speaker 1: I was gonna say I would take him over Judge.

609
00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:09,399
Speaker 1: I'm okay, I'm having some early investments this year in

610
00:27:09,480 --> 00:27:12,639
Speaker 1: Bobby Witt for MVP. By the way, I'm writing this

611
00:27:12,760 --> 00:27:16,840
Speaker 1: narrative about the Royals, and I think there's fatigue with

612
00:27:16,840 --> 00:27:20,679
Speaker 1: Aaron Judge a little bit, just saying and I like

613
00:27:20,760 --> 00:27:23,600
Speaker 1: how things are. I think Josey Ramirez and I think

614
00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:25,919
Speaker 1: Bobby Witt are really intriguing, both of them because they

615
00:27:25,960 --> 00:27:28,080
Speaker 1: really are the standalone guys, and I think they're gonna

616
00:27:28,119 --> 00:27:30,880
Speaker 1: get a ton more of attention this year. So look

617
00:27:30,920 --> 00:27:33,920
Speaker 1: at those two guys for early MVP. When you're trying

618
00:27:33,960 --> 00:27:36,600
Speaker 1: to invest early, we're gonna be betting stuff too. By

619
00:27:36,640 --> 00:27:39,520
Speaker 1: the way, you know we were talking before about Draft Wizard.

620
00:27:39,560 --> 00:27:41,879
Speaker 1: I also want to remind everybody about the Draft Assistant.

621
00:27:42,240 --> 00:27:45,040
Speaker 1: So if you use the Draft Assistant, it's going to

622
00:27:45,240 --> 00:27:48,480
Speaker 1: make your decision making process so much easier. It's going

623
00:27:48,520 --> 00:27:52,160
Speaker 1: to connect directly to your draft. So once again, download

624
00:27:52,160 --> 00:27:54,480

Speaker 1: it for free? And you're gonna get real time suggestions

00:27:57,040 --> 00:27:59,639

629
00:28:04,080 --> 00:28:06,800
Speaker 1: to tell you the player after you. You know, the

630
00:28:06,840 --> 00:28:09,280
Speaker 1: two picks after you already have closers, so don't take

631
00:28:09,280 --> 00:28:12,120
Speaker 1: one here you can wait on the return. Draft Assistant

632

Speaker 2: Welsh are drafting with you. You can put in Joe and

Speaker 2: Welsh's ranks. You could be powered by us, and it's

642
00:28:40,640 --> 00:28:43,680
Speaker 2: like having us draft your team for better or for worse.

643
00:28:43,720 --> 00:28:45,600
Speaker 1: By the way, all right, we're gonna try to bang

644
00:28:45,640 --> 00:28:47,800
Speaker 1: out some more quot We did not expect this much

645
00:28:47,840 --> 00:28:51,200
Speaker 1: love on February nineteenth. I gotta be honest with you,

646
00:28:51,240 --> 00:28:53,880
Speaker 1: which is very exciting. It makes us very excited for

647
00:28:54,320 --> 00:28:56,040
Speaker 1: what's coming here. So let's try to get through here.

648
00:28:56,080 --> 00:28:57,560
Speaker 2: Christian bosses will be very happy.

649
00:28:57,600 --> 00:29:00,760
Speaker 1: Is Cody Bellinger a steal at ADP. I don't want

650
00:29:00,760 --> 00:29:02,880
Speaker 1: to use the word steal yet because I don't think

651
00:29:02,880 --> 00:29:06,480
Speaker 1: it's quite steel, but I do think it's a value position, flexibility,

652
00:29:06,680 --> 00:29:09,360
Speaker 1: love the ballpark factor for him. Two. New York's not

653
00:29:09,400 --> 00:29:10,920
Speaker 1: going to be too big of a stage because Cody

654
00:29:10,920 --> 00:29:14,400
Speaker 1: Bellinger does not care. So I'm in on Bellinger at

655
00:29:14,440 --> 00:29:16,320
Speaker 1: his ADP. I don't know if I use the word steal.

656
00:29:16,440 --> 00:29:17,600
Speaker 1: Welsh your thoughts.

657
00:29:17,920 --> 00:29:19,640
Speaker 2: I'm not going to use the word steel because I

658
00:29:19,720 --> 00:29:23,080
Speaker 2: think there are there's a mass quantity of first base

659
00:29:23,080 --> 00:29:26,280
Speaker 2: eligible players that are going so much later than what

660
00:29:26,360 --> 00:29:29,480
Speaker 2: I think their production is. Christian Walker toes the line

661
00:29:29,520 --> 00:29:32,320
Speaker 2: of being a value Cassis toes the line, Josh Naylor,

662
00:29:32,360 --> 00:29:35,440
Speaker 2: they're right there, and then you got Goldie Goldie in

663
00:29:35,480 --> 00:29:38,520
Speaker 2: like the one forties with Bellinger in there, there's upwards

664
00:29:38,520 --> 00:29:41,600
Speaker 2: of between four and six first basemen. They're just really

665
00:29:41,640 --> 00:29:45,600
Speaker 2: really good value. So I'm very much into all of

666
00:29:45,600 --> 00:29:47,479
Speaker 2: those guys being it. But I'm not going to single

667
00:29:47,520 --> 00:29:51,560
Speaker 2: out because also Bellinger's still weird profilely stuff. We'll see

668
00:29:51,560 --> 00:29:54,480
Speaker 2: if New York cures it all, but he's definitely in

669
00:29:54,520 --> 00:29:55,280
Speaker 2: one of those good ones.

670
00:29:55,400 --> 00:29:57,240
Speaker 1: Ark I got an answer for this question, how do you

671
00:29:57,240 --> 00:29:59,560
Speaker 1: get on a mock draft live stream with the Welsh

672
00:29:59,560 --> 00:30:02,760
Speaker 1: and Joey, I'll tell you by joining our discord. Go

675
00:30:08,480 --> 00:30:10,160
Speaker 1: And then when we do the mock drafts for the shows,

676
00:30:10,400 --> 00:30:12,160
Speaker 1: we'll post in there and say, hey, we need twelve

677
00:30:12,200 --> 00:30:14,680
Speaker 1: people for our mock or whatever we need this. You know,

678
00:30:14,800 --> 00:30:17,440
Speaker 1: high of this day, RK. If you're fast enough on

679
00:30:17,480 --> 00:30:19,080
Speaker 1: the trigger, you can get in there. The football ones

680
00:30:19,080 --> 00:30:23,000
Speaker 1: are insane. They literally fill in four seconds. It's crazy.

681
00:30:23,440 --> 00:30:25,680
Speaker 1: So baseball you got a little bit more time. It's

682
00:30:25,720 --> 00:30:28,080
Speaker 1: more like thirty to forty seconds. So you're pretty good

683
00:30:28,120 --> 00:30:30,360
Speaker 1: on there. I will tag the channel in them. We've

00:30:36,600 --> 00:30:39,200
Speaker 1: live this year. Stay tuned for that. It's gonna be

688
00:30:39,280 --> 00:30:42,080
Speaker 1: very exciting. No, it's not on you know, CBS or

689
00:30:42,120 --> 00:30:46,160
Speaker 1: ABC or any of those major networks yet Sunday. Thanks

690
00:30:46,600 --> 00:30:49,719
Speaker 1: not for hit Pieza, Pa Welsh. It's gonna be amazing,

691
00:30:49,760 --> 00:30:52,200
Speaker 1: all right, TJ. Two part question here for TJ. Let's say,

692
00:30:52,320 --> 00:30:54,040
Speaker 1: would you keep Gilbert for a second or quant for

693
00:30:54,080 --> 00:30:58,560
Speaker 1: a twenty second and then other keepers are Ramirez for

694
00:30:58,640 --> 00:31:01,240
Speaker 1: a first and Sale for a ten and then the

695
00:31:01,320 --> 00:31:03,560
Speaker 1: other option here. Oh no, it's the same key. Just

696
00:31:03,600 --> 00:31:05,680
Speaker 1: put it in there twice. TJ just really wanted I

697
00:31:05,680 --> 00:31:09,240
Speaker 1: thought there was more information there. Look, man, you've already

698
00:31:09,280 --> 00:31:14,040
Speaker 1: got Jose Ramirez, You've got Sale Gilbert and Sales incredible

699
00:31:14,160 --> 00:31:17,800
Speaker 1: value there, an incredible one to two punch. I would say, yes,

700
00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:20,120
Speaker 1: Kwan is a nice player, but I want impact guys,

701
00:31:20,120 --> 00:31:21,240
Speaker 1: and Gilbert's an impact guy.

702
00:31:21,280 --> 00:31:24,240
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, Yeah, a best piece of strategy. This is

703
00:31:24,240 --> 00:31:27,680
Speaker 2: at least just for me. If you have a small

704
00:31:27,800 --> 00:31:32,480
Speaker 2: keeper set up anywhere from one to four, five toes

705
00:31:32,520 --> 00:31:35,000
Speaker 2: of the line, I'm keeping the best players. I don't

706
00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:36,240
Speaker 2: worry about money values.

707
00:31:36,280 --> 00:31:36,360
Speaker 3: Now.

708
00:31:36,400 --> 00:31:38,360
Speaker 2: If you play in a keeper that's like eight, and

709
00:31:38,440 --> 00:31:42,160
Speaker 2: I know eight is you're inching closer to dynasty, but

710
00:31:42,200 --> 00:31:44,400
Speaker 2: you're not quite there. Eight. I'm going to care more

711
00:31:44,440 --> 00:31:46,600
Speaker 2: about my values, Like, holy crap, now I have picks,

712
00:31:46,640 --> 00:31:49,280
Speaker 2: you know whatever, three through five. If I'm only keeping

713
00:31:49,320 --> 00:31:52,000
Speaker 2: three players or two players or four players. I'm really

714
00:31:52,040 --> 00:31:54,520
Speaker 2: going to be more hyper focused on the best because

715
00:31:54,600 --> 00:31:57,040
Speaker 2: Kwan and Gilbert are I think Kwan's a really good

716
00:31:57,040 --> 00:31:59,520
Speaker 2: piece for your fantasy team this year. They're not close

717
00:32:00,120 --> 00:32:03,880
Speaker 2: the best player. Go in with Sale Gilbert and uh,

718
00:32:05,040 --> 00:32:06,960
Speaker 2: come on, you're gonna feel really good. You're gonna get an.

719
00:32:06,960 --> 00:32:09,160
Speaker 1: MVP and tu Cy Young's I mean that had to

720
00:32:09,200 --> 00:32:10,680
Speaker 1: help a way to start any league. I don't care

721
00:32:10,720 --> 00:32:13,440
Speaker 1: what it'll be solid the big dance, I can't tell.

722
00:32:13,560 --> 00:32:16,160
Speaker 1: I think it's just a little Debbie will Ferrell picture,

723
00:32:16,680 --> 00:32:18,560
Speaker 1: but it could be a little I don't think it's

724
00:32:18,560 --> 00:32:20,320
Speaker 1: a Jackson Holiday little Debbie.

725
00:32:20,440 --> 00:32:23,080
Speaker 2: I make this really big. Let's see that is? I

726
00:32:23,080 --> 00:32:26,960
Speaker 2: think little? Yeah, I think that's just a not so little.

727
00:32:26,840 --> 00:32:30,080
Speaker 1: To not so little Debbie. ESPN. The ten team Rodo

728
00:32:30,200 --> 00:32:33,200
Speaker 1: Keeper League can select up to ten current keeper selected

729
00:32:33,440 --> 00:32:38,200
Speaker 1: Albe's Gestures and Cheerio Harris, James Wood Wheeler, Nola Schwellenbach.

730
00:32:38,240 --> 00:32:40,959
Speaker 1: I could also keep Devin Williams, Royce or Heal. So

731
00:32:40,960 --> 00:32:41,760
Speaker 1: who do you want to keep?

732
00:32:43,240 --> 00:32:44,800
Speaker 2: So we got to add two of the three. That's

733
00:32:44,800 --> 00:32:46,400
Speaker 2: how we could have asked the question. Two of these

734
00:32:47,160 --> 00:32:53,680
Speaker 2: keep Devin Williams I know you have Wheeler Nola's don't do.

735
00:32:54,200 --> 00:32:57,680
Speaker 1: You dirty, little minx. You you want to keep Lewis and

736
00:32:57,720 --> 00:33:00,200
Speaker 1: get all dirty and twenty twenty five, I know you do.

737
00:33:01,160 --> 00:33:04,280
Speaker 2: Now, I really don't making him super gross. I like Royce.

738
00:33:05,080 --> 00:33:08,880
Speaker 2: He's super gross. Now. I just did a show and x.

739
00:33:08,840 --> 00:33:11,880
Speaker 1: FIP and all those numbers are screamingshion this year screaming.

740
00:33:11,960 --> 00:33:13,600
Speaker 2: The only thing I want to throw out is I

741
00:33:13,640 --> 00:33:15,880
Speaker 2: did a show go check it out in this league

742
00:33:15,920 --> 00:33:17,320
Speaker 2: where we did ranks, and we looked at all the

743
00:33:17,400 --> 00:33:19,680
Speaker 2: ranks across the board, and there's a couple spots where

744
00:33:19,760 --> 00:33:22,160
Speaker 2: Royce is ranked really high. I believe ESPN might be

745
00:33:22,160 --> 00:33:25,040
Speaker 2: the spot that has him like crazy, crazy high. You

746
00:33:25,080 --> 00:33:27,240
Speaker 2: already have three pitchers and that I think I would

747
00:33:27,240 --> 00:33:29,320
Speaker 2: go with Royce and just seeing if he bounces back.

748
00:33:29,680 --> 00:33:32,560
Speaker 2: I kind of think everybody hates heal a little too much.

749
00:33:32,600 --> 00:33:35,360
Speaker 2: There's still big strikeout potential, but I probably would go

750
00:33:35,400 --> 00:33:37,480
Speaker 2: with Royce on that one. And Devin Williams is a

751
00:33:37,480 --> 00:33:37,840
Speaker 2: no brainer.

752
00:33:37,920 --> 00:33:40,920
Speaker 1: All the original little Debbie right here. Oh boy, I'm

753
00:33:40,960 --> 00:33:43,120
Speaker 1: looking for a bounce back. It's my second year in

754
00:33:43,160 --> 00:33:44,800
Speaker 1: the league and things are gonna go much better than

755
00:33:44,880 --> 00:33:46,280
Speaker 1: last year, I'm Jackson.

756
00:33:45,960 --> 00:33:48,040
Speaker 2: Holiday, I'm the starting second base.

757
00:33:49,640 --> 00:33:51,560
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be so much better. Guys, you can depend

758
00:33:51,600 --> 00:33:56,040
Speaker 1: on me this year. It's gonna be great. He's so energetic.

759
00:33:56,320 --> 00:33:59,320
Speaker 1: I love that about him. Just an energetic guy. You

760
00:33:59,320 --> 00:34:02,360
Speaker 1: know what, We need the energy here to do baseball season.

761
00:34:02,400 --> 00:34:05,720
Speaker 1: It's a long season. It's a fresh season here. Ezekiel Tovar,

762
00:34:05,840 --> 00:34:07,840
Speaker 1: Freddie wants to know what's the ceiling look like. Hey,

763
00:34:07,840 --> 00:34:10,239
Speaker 1: Tovar was one of my guys last year, and I

764
00:34:10,320 --> 00:34:13,279
Speaker 1: was very pleased. I thought he would be solid, and

765
00:34:13,360 --> 00:34:17,239
Speaker 1: he was. He was well out performing as ADP. I

766
00:34:17,239 --> 00:34:18,960
Speaker 1: think we just saw last year is pretty much what

767
00:34:19,080 --> 00:34:20,879
Speaker 1: you're going to get again until the lineup gets better

768
00:34:20,920 --> 00:34:23,239
Speaker 1: around him, like until things really start to pop for

769
00:34:23,280 --> 00:34:25,600
Speaker 1: this offense. And I don't necessarily know that's going to happen.

770
00:34:25,600 --> 00:34:29,520
Speaker 1: Mayetolia happens, and you know, Doyle has another good season

771
00:34:30,360 --> 00:34:32,279
Speaker 1: and it can collectively rise him a little bit more.

772
00:34:32,440 --> 00:34:33,920
Speaker 1: But I think we just saw last year is what

773
00:34:34,000 --> 00:34:36,080
Speaker 1: you should expect to be buying it. I wouldn't be

774
00:34:36,120 --> 00:34:38,920
Speaker 1: buying him thinking there's another level quite yet to Tovar.

775
00:34:39,120 --> 00:34:39,600
Speaker 1: What do you think?

776
00:34:39,680 --> 00:34:42,520
Speaker 2: Wesh, Yeah, I'm not sure like there's a part of

777
00:34:42,520 --> 00:34:44,520
Speaker 2: me that my reaction was going to be, like it's

778
00:34:44,560 --> 00:34:47,520
Speaker 2: like a Carlos Korea ish type, Like he runs a

779
00:34:47,520 --> 00:34:50,400
Speaker 2: little bit more, but his running regressed. He was single

780
00:34:50,400 --> 00:34:54,360
Speaker 2: digitsolen bases last year the power went up. You know,

781
00:34:54,400 --> 00:34:57,120
Speaker 2: he uses Colorado to a decent degree. He doesn't have

782
00:34:57,200 --> 00:34:59,400
Speaker 2: crazy home road splits, but he also doesn't walk. So

783
00:35:00,080 --> 00:35:02,759
Speaker 2: I actually think you're looking like the ceiling is a

784
00:35:02,800 --> 00:35:05,480
Speaker 2: little bit more. I would say it's thirty ten, thirty

785
00:35:05,520 --> 00:35:07,520
Speaker 2: ten with like a two seventy five average, which is

786
00:35:07,560 --> 00:35:10,640
Speaker 2: really good. Maybe you're starting to become Willia Damas. Maybe

787
00:35:10,680 --> 00:35:13,319
Speaker 2: Willia Damas would be the ceiling for him. I'm just

788
00:35:13,440 --> 00:35:16,719
Speaker 2: not so sure we get there because he still is

789
00:35:16,840 --> 00:35:20,400
Speaker 2: like a frickin' whiff king thirty three point five percent

790
00:35:20,400 --> 00:35:22,960
Speaker 2: whiff rate, it was bottom ten percentile of the league.

791
00:35:23,080 --> 00:35:26,000
Speaker 2: He doesn't walk. Those things are not good. So I

792
00:35:26,239 --> 00:35:28,440
Speaker 2: think you're kind of sealing it seeing it. But the

793
00:35:28,440 --> 00:35:30,239
Speaker 2: ceiling is like a thirty ten.

794
00:35:30,400 --> 00:35:32,960
Speaker 1: Great question for Christian Hernandez, what round are you guys

795
00:35:33,000 --> 00:35:34,560
Speaker 1: taking your first closer? And I don't want to say

796
00:35:34,600 --> 00:35:37,600
Speaker 1: round necessarily, but the pool that I'm swimming in, and

797
00:35:37,600 --> 00:35:40,359
Speaker 1: you'll see it on the mock drafts. It's the Ben Joyce, Fairbanks,

798
00:35:40,520 --> 00:35:43,800
Speaker 1: Jordan Romano. I want that last here because the worst

799
00:35:43,800 --> 00:35:45,960
Speaker 1: thing you can do is overpay for the guys in

800
00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:49,120
Speaker 1: the middle. I'm just gonna wait get that bottom third group.

801
00:35:49,160 --> 00:35:51,000
Speaker 1: I'll get two guys there and then I'll play the

802
00:35:51,000 --> 00:35:54,000
Speaker 1: waiver wire. Welsh just took one now in the first round.

803
00:35:54,080 --> 00:35:54,680
Speaker 1: He's he's dead.

804
00:35:54,960 --> 00:35:56,080
Speaker 2: I didn't take it in the first round.

805
00:35:56,080 --> 00:35:56,400
Speaker 3: I did.

806
00:35:57,160 --> 00:36:00,920
Speaker 2: I want to say that I'm more likely in eighty

807
00:36:00,960 --> 00:36:04,040
Speaker 2: percent of my leagues, I'm gonna probably go later. I'm

808
00:36:04,080 --> 00:36:07,080
Speaker 2: gonna be looking at like the Andris Munnos. Maybe I

809
00:36:07,160 --> 00:36:10,080
Speaker 2: take one a little bit higher. I'll take like a

810
00:36:10,160 --> 00:36:12,919
Speaker 2: somewhere between closer eight and twelve, and then maybe i'll

811
00:36:12,920 --> 00:36:16,120
Speaker 2: take like one more between like fifteen and twenty. I

812
00:36:16,160 --> 00:36:20,480
Speaker 2: like Jordan Romano. Ryan Walker just got confirmed on his

813
00:36:20,920 --> 00:36:23,120
Speaker 2: closing role and then a later one, so I'm a

814
00:36:23,160 --> 00:36:25,919
Speaker 2: little bit more invested. But in tout draft and Hold,

815
00:36:25,920 --> 00:36:28,160
Speaker 2: I just took Emmanuel Classe in the third round because

816
00:36:28,160 --> 00:36:31,360
Speaker 2: it's a fifteen team industry. I had a huge swing

817
00:36:31,400 --> 00:36:33,600
Speaker 2: coming back. Draft and Holder a little bit different. So

818
00:36:34,000 --> 00:36:37,120
Speaker 2: it's sometimes league dependent. Most of the time, it's gonna

819
00:36:37,120 --> 00:36:39,680
Speaker 2: be later investments around is kind of tough to say.

820
00:36:39,680 --> 00:36:42,160
Speaker 2: I don't know, like probably like the eighth or ninth

821
00:36:42,239 --> 00:36:43,000
Speaker 2: or something like that. Love this.

822
00:36:43,160 --> 00:36:45,320
Speaker 1: I prepared all this other stuff thinking that, you know,

823
00:36:45,360 --> 00:36:46,880
Speaker 1: it's just gonna be you made today, and look at

824
00:36:46,880 --> 00:36:47,919
Speaker 1: all these people, look at all.

825
00:36:47,800 --> 00:36:51,480
Speaker 2: This, No, we gotta roll questions. Maybe I love this Sean.

826
00:36:51,280 --> 00:36:55,239
Speaker 1: Malone, Churio or Altuve for Dynasty three Outfielder League and

827
00:36:55,280 --> 00:36:59,560
Speaker 1: already have Judge and Julio, So so what have a

828
00:36:59,600 --> 00:37:02,320
Speaker 1: great out field? Have three number one outfielders? Don't invest

829
00:37:02,400 --> 00:37:05,719
Speaker 1: in guys who are in their mid thirties, you know,

830
00:37:06,040 --> 00:37:08,560
Speaker 1: at this stage in their careers. I just I don't

831
00:37:08,560 --> 00:37:10,800
Speaker 1: think it's necessary. Show like I understand the thought process

832
00:37:10,840 --> 00:37:12,880
Speaker 1: which are like, hey, I've already got to elite outfielders

833
00:37:12,880 --> 00:37:15,000
Speaker 1: in theory, but Julio again needs to put together a

834
00:37:15,040 --> 00:37:18,080
Speaker 1: whole good season. I would be having Julio, I'll be

835
00:37:18,120 --> 00:37:20,960
Speaker 1: having Cherio, I'll be having Judge and not overthinking this one.

836
00:37:21,000 --> 00:37:22,120
Speaker 1: How about you Welsh?

837
00:37:23,080 --> 00:37:25,400
Speaker 2: It's not even close. I also like that it's he

838
00:37:25,520 --> 00:37:30,880
Speaker 2: was spelled similar to the tasty long treat of a chiro. Ah,

839
00:37:30,960 --> 00:37:32,160
Speaker 2: have you had it? When the last time he had

840
00:37:32,200 --> 00:37:32,560
Speaker 2: a churo.

841
00:37:33,400 --> 00:37:35,880
Speaker 1: Actually, I will tell you. First of all, I love cheero's.

842
00:37:36,719 --> 00:37:40,960
Speaker 1: Second of all, there's a breakfast place near me, Bridgewater Cafe.

843
00:37:41,000 --> 00:37:43,160
Speaker 1: Shout out a Bridgewater Cafe. Maybe they'll give me a DiscT.

844
00:37:43,200 --> 00:37:46,960
Speaker 1: Probably not, but great breakfast spot. They do a little

845
00:37:47,000 --> 00:37:49,840
Speaker 1: like dessert breakfast thing where it's like a churo bowl.

846
00:37:50,800 --> 00:37:53,040
Speaker 1: It's a bowl made out of churros basically, and they

847
00:37:53,040 --> 00:37:55,600
Speaker 1: put the vanilla ice cream in there. Oh it's so good.

848
00:37:55,680 --> 00:37:59,120
Speaker 2: Well that sounds amazing. I feel like my history with cheerros.

849
00:37:59,160 --> 00:38:00,879
Speaker 2: I haven't had one in forever. I'm like, oh my god,

850
00:38:00,920 --> 00:38:02,319
Speaker 2: that looks great, and then I have it and I'm

851
00:38:02,360 --> 00:38:04,839
Speaker 2: like that was underwhelming. So I haven't had one.

852
00:38:05,600 --> 00:38:09,160
Speaker 1: And in Philly great place too, a Mexican restaurant that

853
00:38:09,160 --> 00:38:10,880
Speaker 1: I like to go to in Philadelphia where on the

854
00:38:10,920 --> 00:38:14,440
Speaker 1: menu they have a churro that's got chocolate piped inside

855
00:38:14,440 --> 00:38:16,360
Speaker 1: of it too, so when you open it up or

856
00:38:16,360 --> 00:38:20,399
Speaker 1: you bite into it, it's like oozing chocolate. Yeah. I mean,

857
00:38:20,560 --> 00:38:22,520
Speaker 1: I would think we out in Arizona. You're getting good cheerros.

858
00:38:22,560 --> 00:38:23,439
Speaker 1: What the hell's going on? Man?

859
00:38:23,800 --> 00:38:24,920
Speaker 2: I haven't had one a long time, don't know I

860
00:38:24,920 --> 00:38:25,480
Speaker 2: shall look around.

861
00:38:25,520 --> 00:38:26,560
Speaker 1: I don't know. You gotta get out more.

862
00:38:26,560 --> 00:38:29,040
Speaker 2: We got cheerio, We got cheerio.

863
00:38:29,239 --> 00:38:31,160
Speaker 1: Not enough churros here on the show. We're gonna get more.

864
00:38:31,160 --> 00:38:33,239
Speaker 1: All right, let's get a Scott's question here, Hunter Brown, Glass,

865
00:38:33,400 --> 00:38:36,960
Speaker 1: Now Freed or Louis Castillo need to e ra a

866
00:38:37,160 --> 00:38:39,000
Speaker 1: whip K's wins and quality starts.

867
00:38:40,440 --> 00:38:41,480
Speaker 2: These are good choices.

868
00:38:41,600 --> 00:38:45,640
Speaker 1: So this is the wheel of health, is what this

869
00:38:45,760 --> 00:38:46,800
Speaker 1: is with Freed and Glass.

870
00:38:46,800 --> 00:38:46,960
Speaker 3: Now.

871
00:38:47,800 --> 00:38:49,200
Speaker 2: I love Glass.

872
00:38:49,239 --> 00:38:49,399
Speaker 1: Now.

873
00:38:49,560 --> 00:38:52,200
Speaker 2: My problem for Glass now here is to me, he

874
00:38:52,360 --> 00:38:54,399
Speaker 2: is a de gram light And what I mean by

875
00:38:54,440 --> 00:38:56,319
Speaker 2: that is no. But this is what I mean by

876
00:38:56,360 --> 00:38:58,040
Speaker 2: it is South funny.

877
00:38:58,160 --> 00:38:59,759
Speaker 1: I just you just call it me, that's all.

878
00:39:00,120 --> 00:39:03,640
Speaker 2: When he's pitching, he's incredible. He's like a top twelve

879
00:39:03,880 --> 00:39:06,680
Speaker 2: sp But the injury things are out there. So for

880
00:39:06,800 --> 00:39:10,359
Speaker 2: me personally, I'm taking the upside of Glass. Now, I'm

881
00:39:10,400 --> 00:39:13,480
Speaker 2: not interested in Max Freed in New York. Hunter Brown

882
00:39:14,040 --> 00:39:16,000
Speaker 2: definitely could be the pick. I think I might go

883
00:39:16,080 --> 00:39:19,040
Speaker 2: safety with Luis Castillo. There's some trade rumors out there,

884
00:39:19,040 --> 00:39:22,080
Speaker 2: but you're still in one of the best ballparks. Tiny

885
00:39:22,239 --> 00:39:25,560
Speaker 2: ish regressiony stuff, but like I love the staff. They

886
00:39:25,560 --> 00:39:28,040
Speaker 2: did pick up a few pieces on offense, the ballpark

887
00:39:28,120 --> 00:39:30,920
Speaker 2: is gonna maintain some stuff. I think Castillo actually provide

888
00:39:30,920 --> 00:39:33,000
Speaker 2: you a little bit of a floor. Glass now is

889
00:39:33,040 --> 00:39:38,040
Speaker 2: a huge upside. Hunter Brown is probably the best upside

890
00:39:38,200 --> 00:39:40,879
Speaker 2: without the injury like Glass Now. But I'm gonna take

891
00:39:40,920 --> 00:39:44,279
Speaker 2: it upside as Glass Now floors Castillo. I wouldn't kill

892
00:39:44,280 --> 00:39:46,040
Speaker 2: you if he did. Hunter Brown and Castillo either, but

893
00:39:46,200 --> 00:39:47,319
Speaker 2: I'm just a my glass down.

894
00:39:47,360 --> 00:39:48,640
Speaker 1: So Freed is the outside looking in.

895
00:39:49,280 --> 00:39:51,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, freeda isn't He's fourth on this list to me?

896
00:39:52,200 --> 00:39:54,560
Speaker 1: I agree, this would that would be my three as

897
00:39:54,560 --> 00:39:56,680
Speaker 1: well if you throw out. And again, when I wrote

898
00:39:56,800 --> 00:39:58,839
Speaker 1: up the Black Book Picture Profiles, you know, digging deep

899
00:39:58,840 --> 00:40:01,640
Speaker 1: into Hunter Brown season, God, that first month was just

900
00:40:01,719 --> 00:40:03,839
Speaker 1: so bad. We're talking about e Rain, You're six. I mean,

901
00:40:03,840 --> 00:40:06,000
Speaker 1: people are dropping him. The rest of the year was

902
00:40:06,080 --> 00:40:08,919
Speaker 1: magical for that guy. The Houston Ashers are still gonna

903
00:40:08,920 --> 00:40:12,040
Speaker 1: be a competitive team. Uh So, Castillo and Brown definitely

904
00:40:12,040 --> 00:40:13,719
Speaker 1: for me, and then Freedom Glass. So it is it

905
00:40:13,800 --> 00:40:16,040
Speaker 1: is just rolling the dice with the health of those guys.

906
00:40:16,360 --> 00:40:18,600
Speaker 1: I'll roll the dice with the Dodger guy and just hope,

907
00:40:18,800 --> 00:40:21,319
Speaker 1: I mean, we'll ever see one hundred and eighty inning

908
00:40:21,360 --> 00:40:22,880
Speaker 1: season from Tyler Glasstan Welsh.

909
00:40:22,880 --> 00:40:26,000
Speaker 2: Ever, I mean, if we do, we'll probably never see

910
00:40:26,040 --> 00:40:29,080
Speaker 2: another season after that. The arm will just like strassog

911
00:40:29,200 --> 00:40:29,680
Speaker 2: esque too.

912
00:40:29,719 --> 00:40:31,440
Speaker 1: It's like, you know, we're you're just waiting and waiting,

913
00:40:31,440 --> 00:40:33,359
Speaker 1: and he has that one glorious year and it puts

914
00:40:33,360 --> 00:40:36,399
Speaker 1: it all together. But it's tough. Here's a good one

915
00:40:36,400 --> 00:40:40,959
Speaker 1: from Adam Devers, Riley or Machado and why oh oh,

916
00:40:41,080 --> 00:40:42,839
Speaker 1: Adam Taskmaster look at.

917
00:40:42,800 --> 00:40:46,799
Speaker 2: Very aggressive there. I would go with Raphael Devers on

918
00:40:46,840 --> 00:40:51,160
Speaker 2: this one. Why I know it's very aggressive. I love

919
00:40:51,160 --> 00:40:54,279
Speaker 2: the ballpark. He is the third baseman. By the way,

920
00:40:54,320 --> 00:40:56,880
Speaker 2: They've got more run support in front. I'm not gonna

921
00:40:57,320 --> 00:40:59,759
Speaker 2: whether he's hitting in front of Bregman or Bregman's hitting

922
00:40:59,760 --> 00:41:02,400
Speaker 2: in front of him. There's more run support. Duran, you know,

923
00:41:02,480 --> 00:41:06,800
Speaker 2: took such a big step up. You've got a crazy amount.

924
00:41:06,840 --> 00:41:09,040
Speaker 2: If you're looking at his hitting profile of like top ten,

925
00:41:09,360 --> 00:41:11,480
Speaker 2: top five percent tile of the league, one of the best,

926
00:41:11,520 --> 00:41:15,000
Speaker 2: and hard hit, thirteen percent barrel rate batting average, his

927
00:41:15,080 --> 00:41:18,120
Speaker 2: expected batting average supported his actual batting average. So you've

928
00:41:18,120 --> 00:41:21,239
Speaker 2: got high average, high runs, high RBI, high homers. I

929
00:41:21,239 --> 00:41:23,840
Speaker 2: think Riley has some of that with some injury stuff,

930
00:41:24,160 --> 00:41:28,600
Speaker 2: and Machado's on the I think he's looking in on

931
00:41:28,640 --> 00:41:30,840
Speaker 2: both of these two guys. To me, this is Devers,

932
00:41:30,920 --> 00:41:34,439
Speaker 2: Riley and then Machato. I think Riley and Devers could

933
00:41:34,480 --> 00:41:37,040
Speaker 2: be maybe a coin flip. And maybe you don't like

934
00:41:37,040 --> 00:41:39,040
Speaker 2: Devers because of the weird stuff going on. Maybe the

935
00:41:39,080 --> 00:41:42,240
Speaker 2: team throws him at DH and then he struggles mentally,

936
00:41:42,360 --> 00:41:44,160
Speaker 2: like I could see all that stuff. But I think

937
00:41:44,200 --> 00:41:47,759
Speaker 2: Devers has been just a pillar of consistency and him

938
00:41:47,760 --> 00:41:49,160
Speaker 2: and Riley are a big coin flip.

939
00:41:49,239 --> 00:41:51,080
Speaker 1: Like I'm Devers too, but in a draft, if you're

940
00:41:51,080 --> 00:41:55,000
Speaker 1: gonna get Machado cheaper than the three and around later, Okay, Yeah,

941
00:41:55,040 --> 00:41:57,279
Speaker 1: if you talk about value, I'm looking at it from

942
00:41:57,280 --> 00:41:59,319
Speaker 1: the value of taking into account what you just said

943
00:41:59,360 --> 00:42:02,239
Speaker 1: about dev which is is he a little frustrated, is

944
00:42:02,239 --> 00:42:04,000
Speaker 1: he a little annoyed? Is he you know, is he

945
00:42:04,040 --> 00:42:07,799
Speaker 1: taking this personally? Okay, Devers is the choice for me too.

946
00:42:07,840 --> 00:42:10,799
Speaker 1: But if I can just wait another round and pick

947
00:42:10,840 --> 00:42:12,680
Speaker 1: up a chaddo, I'll do that. And typically you can.

948
00:42:12,719 --> 00:42:16,520
Speaker 1: Here's one from Linden Ozuna or Rooker for head hand

949
00:42:16,560 --> 00:42:17,720
Speaker 1: Redraft League.

950
00:42:17,760 --> 00:42:21,960
Speaker 2: So in Redraft, I love Rooker, I like, how'm I

951
00:42:22,000 --> 00:42:24,799
Speaker 2: don't find myself taking a lot of Ozuna, To be

952
00:42:24,840 --> 00:42:27,120
Speaker 2: honest with you, there are a couple of util players

953
00:42:27,120 --> 00:42:29,319
Speaker 2: out there that get that out. But like I don't

954
00:42:29,320 --> 00:42:33,200
Speaker 2: even necessarily care about the minor league ballpark. There are

955
00:42:33,280 --> 00:42:37,279
Speaker 2: some openings there. Left field is five feet shorter, so

956
00:42:37,320 --> 00:42:39,520
Speaker 2: that's going to be a benefit for Brent Rooker. I

957
00:42:39,600 --> 00:42:43,520
Speaker 2: believe centerfield is either the same or five feet shorter. Also,

958
00:42:43,520 --> 00:42:45,439
Speaker 2: you've got a warmer weather, so the ball could travel

959
00:42:45,480 --> 00:42:47,279
Speaker 2: a little bit. And those are just things that are

960
00:42:47,480 --> 00:42:50,040
Speaker 2: propping up a guy that just hit almost three hundred

961
00:42:50,120 --> 00:42:53,000
Speaker 2: with almost forty homers and eleven stolen bases. I think

962
00:42:53,200 --> 00:42:55,640
Speaker 2: his profile is really great. I'd love for the strikeouts

963
00:42:55,640 --> 00:42:58,680
Speaker 2: to come down, but I think everything is shining. I

964
00:42:59,000 --> 00:43:00,719
Speaker 2: kind of want to take him in tout coming up

965
00:43:00,760 --> 00:43:02,439
Speaker 2: here pretty soon, even if it's a fourth or fifth

966
00:43:02,520 --> 00:43:05,000
Speaker 2: round pick. So this is a really easy Britain Rooker.

967
00:43:05,400 --> 00:43:08,520
Speaker 2: You should always like how people used to treat stolen bases.

968
00:43:08,800 --> 00:43:11,800
Speaker 2: I kind of think you should treat power given the opportunity.

969
00:43:12,000 --> 00:43:14,359
Speaker 2: And Rooker comes with average, which is really nice.

970
00:43:14,440 --> 00:43:16,560
Speaker 1: Rooker is going like this right now, and I think

971
00:43:16,560 --> 00:43:19,160
Speaker 1: Ozuna is already at that plateau. And for those of

972
00:43:19,200 --> 00:43:22,400
Speaker 1: you for listen, yeah yeah, you tell only. But also

973
00:43:22,480 --> 00:43:25,520
Speaker 1: you know, I think, like I said, who has the

974
00:43:25,520 --> 00:43:28,359
Speaker 1: bigger opportunity to maybe drop off next year? I don't

975
00:43:28,360 --> 00:43:30,080
Speaker 1: think it's Rooker. I think it would be Ozuna that one.

976
00:43:30,120 --> 00:43:32,120
Speaker 1: That's how I'm looking at that situation of the two.

977
00:43:32,200 --> 00:43:34,280
Speaker 1: Let's get one more in here from a fellow Joe.

978
00:43:34,920 --> 00:43:36,880
Speaker 1: Joe wants to know Joe Newell, Guys, I have to

979
00:43:36,960 --> 00:43:40,400
Speaker 1: keep one of the following pitchers, Schwelly Ober or Bryce Miller.

980
00:43:40,480 --> 00:43:43,560
Speaker 1: Please advise. This is a tough one. It's Ober for me.

981
00:43:45,080 --> 00:43:47,440
Speaker 1: I like where the trend is going. The XCR was

982
00:43:47,480 --> 00:43:50,560
Speaker 1: better than the era last year. I feel like Welsh

983
00:43:50,680 --> 00:43:52,680
Speaker 1: is gonna say Schwellenbach there. But I don't know if

984
00:43:52,680 --> 00:43:54,440
Speaker 1: there's a wrong answer here. I think this is just

985
00:43:55,840 --> 00:43:58,480
Speaker 1: what you think of these players. Swellenbach was very solid

986
00:43:58,520 --> 00:44:00,760
Speaker 1: after a little bit of a shaky begin to the season,

987
00:44:00,880 --> 00:44:02,719
Speaker 1: and I think Bryce Miller is still very good. I

988
00:44:02,719 --> 00:44:05,919
Speaker 1: think Miller waiting for that next gear to kick in there,

989
00:44:06,239 --> 00:44:08,240
Speaker 1: and maybe it will and maybe it won't. In twenty

990
00:44:08,280 --> 00:44:10,000
Speaker 1: twenty five, Where are you going? If you got one

991
00:44:10,040 --> 00:44:12,319
Speaker 1: pick here? Joe yeah, I should say.

992
00:44:12,880 --> 00:44:14,799
Speaker 2: I was about to say, are you asking yourself, Joe?

993
00:44:14,840 --> 00:44:16,000
Speaker 2: Are you talking in the third person?

994
00:44:16,040 --> 00:44:17,919
Speaker 1: So when you're thinking about all of the Joe's out

995
00:44:17,920 --> 00:44:20,400
Speaker 1: there and you're thinking about the pitching options, Joe, No,

996
00:44:20,520 --> 00:44:22,000
Speaker 1: But what do you think wash about this?

997
00:44:22,200 --> 00:44:23,920
Speaker 2: Who are we taking? Ricky? Who's Ricky? Well?

998
00:44:24,000 --> 00:44:24,239
Speaker 1: Ricky?

999
00:44:24,360 --> 00:44:29,640
Speaker 2: Ricky's going to answer this? I miss Ricky. They're all

1000
00:44:29,680 --> 00:44:32,440
Speaker 2: between like six picks of each other in ECR. By

1001
00:44:32,440 --> 00:44:34,760
Speaker 2: the way ranks, Bryce Miller is the number one OBErs

1002
00:44:34,840 --> 00:44:39,920
Speaker 2: number two, Schwellenbach is three. I I think Bryce Miller

1003
00:44:40,000 --> 00:44:42,200
Speaker 2: is the safest. I actually talked to Brace Miller. I

1004
00:44:42,239 --> 00:44:45,480
Speaker 2: got to get out to a camp and he's adding

1005
00:44:45,520 --> 00:44:48,000
Speaker 2: a third and I joked with him because if anyone

1006
00:44:48,040 --> 00:44:50,399
Speaker 2: has following my content, I talked to him two years

1007
00:44:50,400 --> 00:44:52,400
Speaker 2: ago and he said, I've got two sliders now, and

1008
00:44:52,440 --> 00:44:55,040
Speaker 2: he's like, I'm throwing the bullet and I'm throwing the sweeper,

1009
00:44:55,200 --> 00:44:58,040
Speaker 2: and he explained it. Now this year he's throwing a

1010
00:44:58,080 --> 00:45:00,919
Speaker 2: cutter and that's like there's very of a cutter into

1011
00:45:00,960 --> 00:45:03,319
Speaker 2: a slider. So it's like he's got the cutter, he's

1012
00:45:03,360 --> 00:45:06,080
Speaker 2: got the the bullet, which is like a more punch.

1013
00:45:06,239 --> 00:45:08,319
Speaker 2: It's just like, how many versions of this same pitch

1014
00:45:08,320 --> 00:45:10,520
Speaker 2: are you going to keep throwing? What I'm getting at

1015
00:45:10,640 --> 00:45:14,120
Speaker 2: is I love the tinkering he maintains low eras you

1016
00:45:14,120 --> 00:45:15,920
Speaker 2: know this, the split finger could be more of a

1017
00:45:16,520 --> 00:45:18,600
Speaker 2: strikeout pitch if he could get it there. I think

1018
00:45:18,640 --> 00:45:22,719
Speaker 2: he's this safe option here. My ceiling plays Schwellenbach, though

1019
00:45:22,920 --> 00:45:26,600
Speaker 2: I am in love with Schwellenbach high with and K percentages,

1020
00:45:26,680 --> 00:45:29,640
Speaker 2: throws ten five pitches ten percentile more of the or

1021
00:45:29,719 --> 00:45:31,640
Speaker 2: more of the time. I think the K numbers are

1022
00:45:31,680 --> 00:45:33,320
Speaker 2: going to rise. I think he has a chance to

1023
00:45:33,400 --> 00:45:37,080
Speaker 2: be like a top twenty sp They're all close enough

1024
00:45:37,120 --> 00:45:39,480
Speaker 2: that maybe I could just saye Schwellenbach. But I do

1025
00:45:39,560 --> 00:45:42,320
Speaker 2: think Bryce Miller's value is like right there and ironically

1026
00:45:42,440 --> 00:45:44,160
Speaker 2: over to me is the third of that list. So

1027
00:45:44,600 --> 00:45:47,840
Speaker 2: you make your choice, follow Joe, follow safety, or follow

1028
00:45:47,880 --> 00:45:48,400
Speaker 2: my upside.

1029
00:45:48,680 --> 00:45:50,200
Speaker 1: One more for you for Trevor, because I know we'll

1030
00:45:50,239 --> 00:45:52,120
Speaker 1: have the bug Trevor to come on draft shows in

1031
00:45:52,200 --> 00:45:54,320
Speaker 1: the next three weeks. Uh, you have a Moto for

1032
00:45:54,360 --> 00:45:58,520
Speaker 1: eighteen dollars or urroghetty for three YEA, agreed, So there

1033
00:45:58,560 --> 00:45:59,200
Speaker 1: you go, two for two.

1034
00:45:59,320 --> 00:46:01,719
Speaker 2: I mean the getty the good strikeout numbers and that

1035
00:46:01,840 --> 00:46:04,560
Speaker 2: that rotation might be a good value. But yeah, my

1036
00:46:04,640 --> 00:46:06,040
Speaker 2: motor's price isn't like too much.

1037
00:46:06,080 --> 00:46:07,759
Speaker 1: Now, look, if you haven't been watching the channel, you're

1066
00:47:22,120 --> 00:47:26,919
Speaker 1: the draft with you, with obviously no funians because Welsh

1067
00:47:26,960 --> 00:47:28,759
Speaker 1: doesn't like funny in something we found out, So I'll

1068
00:47:28,800 --> 00:47:30,400
