WEBVTT - Live Fantasy Baseball Expert Q&A | Draft Advice, Strategy, and Keeper Decisions (Ep. 928) 0:00:05.440 --> 0:00:10.120 Welcome in everybody to Fantasy Bros. MLB. This, of course 0:00:10.400 --> 0:00:12.760 is Fantasy Bros MLB Live. It is me, Joey p 0:00:12.960 --> 0:00:15.040 Joe Pi's appear with me as though well should. I 0:00:15.120 --> 0:00:17.560 just got to hang out with for an entire week 0:00:17.600 --> 0:00:22.040 in Las Vegas. I came out unscathed. Welsh not so much. 0:00:22.200 --> 0:00:26.159 But you gotta get that hand sanitizer, Welsh. It's a 0:00:26.160 --> 0:00:27.800 dirty place, Las Vegas. That's what. 0:00:27.960 --> 0:00:30.800 Well, when you go to bed at nine pm every 0:00:30.800 --> 0:00:33.279 single night, Joey, you're probably gonna do a little bit 0:00:33.280 --> 0:00:35.520 better than us in Vegas who were out a little 0:00:35.560 --> 0:00:36.400 later than nine pm. 0:00:36.560 --> 0:00:38.400 I did not go to bed at nine pm. I 0:00:38.440 --> 0:00:40.760 did go to bed at around midnight. And some of 0:00:40.800 --> 0:00:42.880 the other guys went out there to play. That's that's 0:00:42.920 --> 0:00:47.640 their prerogative. My wallet is full, my lungs are empty. 0:00:47.920 --> 0:00:50.800 So I'm a happy boy right now. But we are 0:00:50.840 --> 0:00:53.120 ecstatic as we are back here hanging out with you guys, 0:00:53.120 --> 0:00:55.480 taking questions, talking all of you.

I see Wonky Penguin is here with us. 0:01:37.959 --> 0:01:41.000 It's like coming home. She's right, Kelly's right, it is 0:01:41.080 --> 0:01:42.960 like coming home. I love the Wonky pengu I'm gonna 0:01:42.959 --> 0:01:45.480 get to see the Wonky Penguin. She's coming up in March, 0:01:45.560 --> 0:01:48.480 so that's gonna be a good time there. But let's 0:01:48.480 --> 0:01:50.440 start with some news here. I see the questions filtering in. 0:01:50.440 --> 0:01:51.720 We're gonna get to the questions. I want to start 0:01:51.720 --> 0:01:53.040 with some news here. I want to start with Lad 0:01:53.080 --> 0:01:56.760 Guerrero Junior because I think that is not surprising. We'll 0:01:56.760 --> 0:01:59.040 do a wellness check on Joel Rico because Vlad Guerreau 0:01:59.160 --> 0:02:02.040 did not sign an extension. What a shock with the 0:02:02.080 --> 0:02:04.440 Toronto Blue Jays. I think the guys that have a 0:02:04.520 --> 0:02:07.040 monstrous year, I think money talks. I think he started 0:02:07.080 --> 0:02:09.680 to smell it last year at the end, and it 0:02:09.760 --> 0:02:12.080 feels like Vlad is going to go out there, test 0:02:12.120 --> 0:02:15.480 that market and get paid. Welsh, I'm looking for big things, 0:02:15.560 --> 0:02:19.000 especially with Santander now in that lineup and with a 0:02:19.120 --> 0:02:21.600 hopeful bounce back of bobus Shit, I think that Toronto 0:02:21.680 --> 0:02:24.680 lineup is going to be a lot better than people realize. Also, 0:02:24.720 --> 0:02:26.760 at the top of that lineup, some questions going on 0:02:26.960 --> 0:02:29.680 who's going to lead off? Could it be Springer? It 0:02:29.760 --> 0:02:32.840 might even be Wagner, It could be Andre Samenez too, 0:02:32.880 --> 0:02:34.959 who might be in that mix. So let's talk about 0:02:35.120 --> 0:02:38.359 the Vlattie contract. Your thoughts and what you think about 0:02:38.400 --> 0:02:41.120 that leadoff spot. How valuable it is it to one 0:02:41.160 --> 0:02:42.760 of those three guys potentially? 0:02:43.520 --> 0:02:45.960 Yeah, I mean, I don't think Vlattie is going to 0:02:46.040 --> 0:02:48.160 re sign, even though he wants to be, you know, 0:02:48.240 --> 0:02:52.360 there for life. He was like, were they close? No, 0:02:52.720 --> 0:02:55.200 not even close, And the blue Jays thought they were 0:02:55.240 --> 0:02:58.240 competitive for the blue Jays. So someone's gonna come in 0:02:58.760 --> 0:03:01.600 and they're going to offer six hundred million, and it's 0:03:01.639 --> 0:03:03.360 just Blue Jays are not going to get there. And 0:03:03.840 --> 0:03:06.160 I think I don't know if to pull the trigger 0:03:06.160 --> 0:03:08.120 in the season if the season falls away from them 0:03:08.120 --> 0:03:09.359 and they know they're not going to resign. But I 0:03:09.400 --> 0:03:11.400 do think the team is strong. I think Santander is 0:03:11.400 --> 0:03:13.680 in line for a big, strong season. I'll tell you, 0:03:13.720 --> 0:03:16.079 I think he's kind of a trade target, little bit 0:03:16.560 --> 0:03:19.600 batting average, susceptible. He might hurt you. And I'm also 0:03:19.720 --> 0:03:22.880 here for the bounce back of Bobachett. You'll see in 0:03:22.960 --> 0:03:25.920 the Expert Consensus Ranks, which are available on Fantasy Pros 0:03:26.000 --> 0:03:28.400 right now. You can check out ECR. You also can 0:03:28.400 --> 0:03:31.760 see the individual rankers. I am probably one of the 0:03:31.800 --> 0:03:33.959 highest on Bobachett because I really do think he's gonna 0:03:33.960 --> 0:03:36.880 bounce back and I think he's a huge, huge benefit 0:03:36.960 --> 0:03:38.920 to your fantasy team as low as he's going. So 0:03:39.200 --> 0:03:41.240 it's a good spot kind of across the board. 0:03:41.280 --> 0:03:44.280 My friend, Yes, look Fred Dinger back here. It's good 0:03:44.320 --> 0:03:46.480 to see Freddie. Look, it is like seeing all the 0:03:46.520 --> 0:03:48.800 old friends. James, A's got a question and then we're 0:03:48.800 --> 0:03:50.240 going to go to Boston. I guess they in the 0:03:50.280 --> 0:03:53.200 American Leaguees. We've got some more stuff heating up there. 0:03:53.480 --> 0:03:57.120 James keep Sandy al Contra or Boden Francis in the 0:03:57.160 --> 0:04:00.640 sixteenth round. It's a Contra for me, it's not close. 0:04:00.680 --> 0:04:02.760 I like Francis, I'm very intrigued by him, but at 0:04:02.760 --> 0:04:05.120 the same time, I can't go that route. I mean 0:04:05.160 --> 0:04:07.920 our Contra coming back. He's had a long enough time away. 0:04:07.960 --> 0:04:10.480 He's already they named the opening day starter. That feels 0:04:10.520 --> 0:04:12.040 good to me. Welsh, where do you go here? 0:04:12.520 --> 0:04:13.600 Did you say you're al Contra? 0:04:13.720 --> 0:04:16.120 Al Contra all the way? Zero chill for me. 0:04:16.800 --> 0:04:17.400 I do like. 0:04:17.760 --> 0:04:19.680 And he's gonna get traded to this year. You know 0:04:19.760 --> 0:04:21.640 he's gonna get dealt. I'm telling you that's coming. 0:04:21.640 --> 0:04:24.360 That shift, that'll be a great thing. I will tell you. 0:04:25.160 --> 0:04:29.680 I'm not one hundred percent sure if al Contra is 0:04:29.760 --> 0:04:31.920 even gonna be like really in play for the Cubs. 0:04:31.920 --> 0:04:33.760 There's a great video that's out there. I think he 0:04:33.839 --> 0:04:37.200 I think he took Shotto Emonaga just deep in some 0:04:37.240 --> 0:04:39.960 of those early practices, and I love the tool set. 0:04:40.000 --> 0:04:42.760 It's just about opportunity for him. Here's my problem with 0:04:42.800 --> 0:04:45.120 Bowden Francis is Bowden Francis had we. 0:04:45.040 --> 0:04:47.680 Talked about the same talking about the pitcher Sandy al Contra. 0:04:48.080 --> 0:04:49.640 Who are you talking about? Oh? 0:04:49.960 --> 0:04:51.719 I think this is Do you think this is a 0:04:51.760 --> 0:04:52.599 Sandy al Contra. 0:04:52.720 --> 0:04:55.280 I've talked you assume because last year he got him cheap. 0:04:55.560 --> 0:04:59.159 So James, I'm assuming you're saying Sandy al Contra. That's 0:04:59.200 --> 0:05:02.560 I'm listening to Welsh going what Sandy doing grabbing a bat? 0:05:02.839 --> 0:05:03.760 Is he changing position? 0:05:04.600 --> 0:05:07.800 Contra? If we go to Kevin al Contra, this is 0:05:07.839 --> 0:05:10.160 Bowden Francis. I just want to point this out real 0:05:10.200 --> 0:05:13.080 quick because I agree with you. Tru this okay, Sam, 0:05:13.279 --> 0:05:16.200 don't even ask this question. This ridiculous question, James, is 0:05:16.200 --> 0:05:19.799 a ridiculous question. Sandy al Contra by four million miles. 0:05:19.839 --> 0:05:22.360 But the reason he's asking the question is because of 0:05:22.400 --> 0:05:25.440 the second half by Bowden Francis. I thought Kevin al 0:05:25.480 --> 0:05:27.880 Contra was like a real question. But he had a 0:05:27.960 --> 0:05:30.640 one eight e R in the second half, fifty eight 0:05:30.680 --> 0:05:34.360 strikeouts to eight walks, over sixty five innings Bowden did, 0:05:34.720 --> 0:05:36.880 and this pretty phenomenal stuff. I mean, you know, there 0:05:36.880 --> 0:05:39.880 were some decent strikeout numbers, especially in the second half. 0:05:39.920 --> 0:05:43.680 He's a good late keeper, but not over Sandy. 0:05:43.920 --> 0:05:47.080 Not okay, thank goodness. I was like, what I thought, 0:05:47.080 --> 0:05:48.680 maybe Las Vegas changed you. 0:05:49.040 --> 0:05:53.239 First rospect guy, I went to Contra mister Cross. 0:05:53.279 --> 0:05:55.960 That guy goes right to you know, the the youngest players. 0:05:55.960 --> 0:05:58.480 They already's talking about them. Uh okay. I did the 0:05:58.640 --> 0:06:00.320 right up for both these guys. In fancy his bow 0:06:00.360 --> 0:06:02.320 Black book on Amazon right now, you can go check 0:06:02.320 --> 0:06:04.520 that out. I do all the picture profiles, and francis 0:06:05.360 --> 0:06:08.320 stunning profile. Like I'm very excited about him this year. 0:06:08.680 --> 0:06:10.640 But look, Sandy's already be named O big day starter. 0:06:10.760 --> 0:06:13.920 Sandy is a cy young candidate. You can't go past there. Also, 0:06:14.040 --> 0:06:17.040 speaking of cy young candidates returning from Tommy John, look 0:06:17.080 --> 0:06:20.920 at this segue Sean McClanahan. Uh you saw him throw 0:06:20.920 --> 0:06:22.320 a bull No, you didn't see him through a bullpen. 0:06:22.640 --> 0:06:24.720 I didn't see it. Ap I didn't. I didn't fly 0:06:24.800 --> 0:06:25.880 to Florida. 0:06:25.960 --> 0:06:27.400 That's right there with Arizona. 0:06:27.720 --> 0:06:29.400 With all this stuff going on with planes, I don't 0:06:29.400 --> 0:06:31.039 want to get on a plane again. I'm lucky I 0:06:31.040 --> 0:06:34.840 got home at this point. But no, uh, we were 0:06:34.839 --> 0:06:38.480 talking off air, Sea Sea. Mcclanahan's really important here. I 0:06:38.560 --> 0:06:40.840 was very like timid about I loved him, one of 0:06:40.839 --> 0:06:42.440 my favorite pictures. I think I had him like number 0:06:42.440 --> 0:06:45.960 one in Dynasty two years ago that injury. He was 0:06:46.320 --> 0:06:49.560 really struggled right before the injury, probably because of the 0:06:49.600 --> 0:06:51.479 injury and then coming back, there was just still some 0:06:51.600 --> 0:06:53.560 questions like what was this going to look like? We 0:06:53.560 --> 0:06:55.960 we had had some more affirmatives about Sandy al Contra. 0:06:56.279 --> 0:06:59.080 Two things make me feel great. A. They already announced 0:06:59.120 --> 0:07:01.360 McClanahan is good go. They're not going to have any 0:07:01.360 --> 0:07:04.800 type of limitation. A. That's awesome for me. B Through 0:07:04.800 --> 0:07:08.000 a session just the other day, we're talking February ninety seven, 0:07:08.120 --> 0:07:10.160 ninety eight. I love seeing that he's already on the 0:07:10.200 --> 0:07:11.680 top of the v Low. It's one of the best 0:07:11.720 --> 0:07:14.680 change ups in baseball. Just getting a full season with 0:07:14.800 --> 0:07:18.720 like very minimal maybe holding back makes me feel way better. 0:07:18.760 --> 0:07:21.160 And he is a freaking steel man, and I think 0:07:21.200 --> 0:07:23.520 I had him too. Low. I'm going to take a 0:07:23.520 --> 0:07:23.880 look here. 0:07:24.000 --> 0:07:26.920 I want to say yeah, I want to say they're 0:07:26.920 --> 0:07:29.600 in that fifty range, like fifty to sixty. I think 0:07:29.640 --> 0:07:31.160 from what I saw over the weekend. I don't know 0:07:31.160 --> 0:07:34.320 if that's changed. Fifty to sixty one in the overall 0:07:34.320 --> 0:07:36.520 pitching ranks. Right now in Fantasy pros. 0:07:36.520 --> 0:07:41.160 He's won twenty five overall. That's the pitch ranks. 0:07:41.200 --> 0:07:43.920 But while you're looking for that ranking, look, look, these 0:07:43.920 --> 0:07:45.440 are two guys. Both of them I picked up in 0:07:45.440 --> 0:07:48.920 my home league last year and in the draft where 0:07:49.080 --> 0:07:50.760 I paid a buck for one and two bucks for 0:07:50.800 --> 0:07:52.600 the other one and just stashed them because I was 0:07:52.640 --> 0:07:54.840 a rebuilding team. And I'm so glad that I did, 0:07:54.920 --> 0:07:56.960 because now I've got both of those guys who could 0:07:57.080 --> 0:07:58.080 very well be aces. 0:07:58.720 --> 0:08:00.640 I think that was Sandy by the way, he was thirty. 0:08:00.680 --> 0:08:03.400 He's thirty eight, so he's higher than you were saying. 0:08:03.760 --> 0:08:06.760 But I still think that's too low. I think McClanahan 0:08:06.880 --> 0:08:10.120 legit has top twenty sp I still think there's gonna 0:08:10.120 --> 0:08:12.920 be some type of like I mean, in a full world, 0:08:12.960 --> 0:08:14.240 like you could be a top five pitcher. 0:08:14.320 --> 0:08:16.840 Oh, but like it's going to take let's wait and see, 0:08:16.840 --> 0:08:18.800 how you know, Let's let's let's wait and see him 0:08:18.800 --> 0:08:20.960 throw the hitters, and like you know, getting some game action, 0:08:21.040 --> 0:08:22.800 all that stuff, and then I agree, it's gonna be 0:08:22.840 --> 0:08:24.720 a meteorc rise in ADP for all of them. If 0:08:24.720 --> 0:08:27.320 you're in early best balls, take advantage now. If you're 0:08:27.360 --> 0:08:29.760 in early drafts, take advantage now. It's going to change. 0:08:30.000 --> 0:08:32.000 The other thing that's interesting with McClanahan too, is how 0:08:32.040 --> 0:08:34.000 this you know, new ballpark situation is going to play 0:08:34.000 --> 0:08:36.320 out for them. So being you know, away from Tampa, 0:08:36.320 --> 0:08:38.880 which was a pitcher haven, it's gonna be a little 0:08:38.880 --> 0:08:42.640 different now being outdoors in that in that ballpark. So 0:08:43.240 --> 0:08:45.880 mclann han's a good enough picture. Doesn't matter to a 0:08:45.880 --> 0:08:48.080 certain degree, but I am curious to see how it 0:08:48.120 --> 0:08:50.240 all plays out because we don't know at the end 0:08:50.280 --> 0:08:52.640 of the day, and it can't be as good probably 0:08:53.200 --> 0:08:55.720 as the situation he was pitching an indoors. So let's 0:08:55.720 --> 0:08:58.320 go to car Lows, good friend of the show. Yes, 0:08:58.400 --> 0:09:01.240 I got a question. Is Elido Cruz a number one 0:09:01.320 --> 0:09:01.960 round pick? 0:09:02.280 --> 0:09:05.840 He's trolling? He's trolling. Carlos is a troll. Carlos always trolls. 0:09:06.120 --> 0:09:08.160 I'm trying to remember who did Carlos. 0:09:07.760 --> 0:09:09.520 Troll me about the Brandon fought. 0:09:10.840 --> 0:09:12.520 No, I don't know if it was Brandon fought. Carlos 0:09:12.559 --> 0:09:16.040 definitely trolled last year the brand fought guy. It might 0:09:16.040 --> 0:09:18.880 have been, but I mean he also said all jokes aside, Uh, 0:09:19.320 --> 0:09:22.160 great season, Yes, breaking news, Elie de la Cruz is 0:09:22.200 --> 0:09:24.160 a one round pick. 0:09:24.240 --> 0:09:27.280 Or however, I think we have the graphic here? H 0:09:27.400 --> 0:09:27.880 oh it is. 0:09:27.960 --> 0:09:30.520 Yeah, there's Carlos right there. He was the Brandon five. Yeah, 0:09:30.920 --> 0:09:34.559 let's read. This is what Carlos said. Go back, go back, no, 0:09:34.679 --> 0:09:35.080 go back to. 0:09:36.080 --> 0:09:38.120 Don't worry, seth, I got this one, seth ar. 0:09:38.600 --> 0:09:41.199 You want a great if you want a great pitcher 0:09:41.280 --> 0:09:45.200 performance today, Joe Musgrove, Charlie Morton, Garrett Crochet, Carlos Prasco. 0:09:45.280 --> 0:09:47.600 But if you want to lose points, listen to Welsh 0:09:47.640 --> 0:09:50.679 and go ahead and pick up Brandon fought. Oh what 0:09:50.760 --> 0:09:54.000 was the stat line after stupid Carlos said his comment 0:09:54.360 --> 0:09:59.160 six and he's seven strikeouts and boom goes to dynamite. 0:09:59.320 --> 0:10:00.680 Look at your actually do love you? 0:10:00.840 --> 0:10:01.600 I do love so good. 0:10:02.240 --> 0:10:03.160 It was a better time. 0:10:03.440 --> 0:10:06.360 Yeah, this offseason was not kind to you. I mean, 0:10:07.480 --> 0:10:10.199 I guess it was tough there, tough for you there. 0:10:10.440 --> 0:10:14.200 Let's talk about Boston too. I saw Scott White had 0:10:14.200 --> 0:10:15.640 a great tweet about this, so I don't want to 0:10:15.640 --> 0:10:16.760 take credit for it, but he had a Game of 0:10:16.800 --> 0:10:20.440 Thrones related tweet. Uh. You know the line that Taiwan 0:10:20.520 --> 0:10:23.080 Lanister says, if you have to say that you're king, 0:10:23.120 --> 0:10:26.280 then you're not the king, right, so if Raphael Devers 0:10:26.400 --> 0:10:27.920 it was the same was the picture of Taiwen Lantis 0:10:28.120 --> 0:10:29.560 and it said if you have to say you're the 0:10:29.559 --> 0:10:31.680 third baseman, then you're not the third baseman. And I 0:10:31.679 --> 0:10:36.280 thought that was very clever. Alex Bregman taking grounders at third, like, 0:10:36.400 --> 0:10:38.360 it makes sense to move Devers off of there. It's 0:10:38.440 --> 0:10:41.920 going to make your team infinitely better defensively. You can 0:10:42.000 --> 0:10:45.120 put Devers at DH or you want to play Cossas 0:10:45.120 --> 0:10:47.400 at DH and Devors at first, Like, however you want 0:10:47.400 --> 0:10:50.120 to shake it, but to move Bregman to third, it 0:10:50.160 --> 0:10:52.520 opens up Christian Campbell at second base sooner than later, 0:10:52.559 --> 0:10:55.679 which I think is something that they would like to do. 0:10:56.280 --> 0:10:58.280 So will are you going to read too much into 0:10:58.320 --> 0:11:01.679 this early ground ball? I mean, are we overreacting here 0:11:01.760 --> 0:11:04.719 or is this something really that we should be kind 0:11:04.720 --> 0:11:06.840 of figuring out? Because right now, Rafael Devers is doing 0:11:06.880 --> 0:11:10.240 separate workouts in both field and cage work during his 0:11:10.280 --> 0:11:14.240 shoulder rehab, but the separate workouts, again we're not sure exactly. 0:11:14.400 --> 0:11:17.080 Is that also him maybe taking some work at first 0:11:17.080 --> 0:11:19.439 base a little bit and not wanting the public to see. 0:11:20.559 --> 0:11:23.080 I mean, that's pretty speculative. I don't know. I think 0:11:23.160 --> 0:11:25.240 the only issue out of all of this, or the 0:11:25.280 --> 0:11:29.679 thing to read into, is that Raphael Devers was adamant 0:11:30.000 --> 0:11:32.240 that he is a third baseman, and also his teammate 0:11:32.280 --> 0:11:34.960 Tristan Costs has just came in, and you know, it's like, hey, 0:11:35.000 --> 0:11:37.560 we could just like isolate these incidents and stuff like that, 0:11:37.600 --> 0:11:40.560 and cost this is like av yesk me Devas should 0:11:40.559 --> 0:11:42.440 be the third basement. By the way, we should never 0:11:42.520 --> 0:11:44.960 bring up the prospects. He's like, don't bring up Anthony, 0:11:45.040 --> 0:11:47.640 don't bring up Campbell. It just makes it messy. What 0:11:47.640 --> 0:11:50.240 I'm getting at is like Bregman playing at second and third, 0:11:50.520 --> 0:11:53.839 completely normal, Campbell running second, playing the outfield. This is 0:11:53.840 --> 0:11:57.040 all normal for flexibility, position, flexibility across the board. So 0:11:57.400 --> 0:12:00.480 it's not you know, it's nothing crazy. He did something 0:12:00.480 --> 0:12:03.960 to watch. It's gonna be a show. It's probably they 0:12:03.960 --> 0:12:06.400 should probably do some type of hard knock show and 0:12:06.400 --> 0:12:07.040 follow the Red. 0:12:07.480 --> 0:12:10.079 Why doesn't MLB do that? They got a million hours? 0:12:10.120 --> 0:12:15.320 Aren't hits art hits scrap? How HBO hard hits Baseball 0:12:15.400 --> 0:12:16.840 Boston Red Sox twenty. 0:12:16.600 --> 0:12:18.760 Need to pitch this to MLB network. Let's get on there. 0:12:18.840 --> 0:12:20.880 Let's pitch us to MLB network. We'll shoot it. We'll 0:12:20.880 --> 0:12:22.800 do it. It'll be fun.

I 0:12:28.360 --> 0:12:28.760 don't remember. 0:12:28.840 --> 0:12:30.640 Yeah, well, Fred, if we didn't see it, it doesn't matter, 0:12:30.640 --> 0:12:33.760 it didn't happen, by the way, And Carlos, we love you, 0:12:33.800 --> 0:12:36.960 by the way, we're just give your car back here 0:12:36.960 --> 0:12:37.760 in the chat here. 0:12:37.640 --> 0:12:40.520 Carlos is just enough troll, like he's just the right note, 0:12:40.600 --> 0:12:43.320 like we love Yeah, it's not too much where it's like, 0:12:43.400 --> 0:12:45.400 oh well, we're gonna have to mute you. It's just 0:12:45.559 --> 0:12:47.080 it's just playful and fun enough. 0:12:47.120 --> 0:12:49.200 I can't believe you didn't remember that Carlos was the 0:12:49.200 --> 0:12:51.200 one that gave us the Brandon Fop moment last year. 0:12:51.360 --> 0:12:54.200 I remember Carlos, I just didn't remember what the moment. 0:12:54.280 --> 0:12:57.760 Well, there producer says he wants your workout routine, so 0:12:57.880 --> 0:13:01.200 you have to give him that too. It involves it 0:13:01.240 --> 0:13:03.560 involves funians. Seth, that's what it involved. 0:13:03.600 --> 0:13:06.000 I don't like funians. Actually, let's say ironic. You pick that. 0:13:06.000 --> 0:13:07.200 That would be something I do. 0:13:07.920 --> 0:13:09.800 You know, like funny and what's wrong with you?

All right, 0:13:59.320 --> 0:14:02.040 let's get to some more questions. Rene's out of question here, 0:14:02.040 --> 0:14:07.360 Reagan's Crochet or Gilbert ooh blows. Took a lot of 0:14:07.440 --> 0:14:10.800 lumps last year on the logan Gilbert Traine just want 0:14:10.840 --> 0:14:11.240 to say. 0:14:11.160 --> 0:14:13.280 I did, I did. I did get a little bit 0:14:13.320 --> 0:14:15.120 of that, and it was relative. Renee had said, pick 0:14:15.160 --> 0:14:18.199 one of these three starting pictures to be your ace. 0:14:19.040 --> 0:14:21.120 Mine is pretty clear if you've watched any of our 0:14:21.120 --> 0:14:23.600 offseason shows. By the way, we got a litany of 0:14:23.760 --> 0:14:26.720 incredible shows already on the YouTube channel. To make sure 0:14:26.720 --> 0:14:27.560 you're locked into it. 0:14:27.560 --> 0:14:28.160 It's a big word. 0:14:29.400 --> 0:14:32.080 I'm stupid, dummy, I don't I know. 0:14:32.120 --> 0:14:34.480 A few more working out for you. 0:14:34.560 --> 0:14:37.680 All right, Well, if you've been following those videos, there's 0:14:37.680 --> 0:14:41.720 one picture I take all the time. It is Garrett Crochet. 0:14:41.960 --> 0:14:44.960 Garrett Crochet. I also I am in tout. I just 0:14:45.000 --> 0:14:47.800 took Garrett Crochet. It's a fifteen team draft and hold 0:14:47.920 --> 0:14:52.840 industry just murderers across the board of industry people, and 0:14:52.960 --> 0:14:54.800 I snapped up Crochet at the back end of the 0:14:54.840 --> 0:14:57.160 second round a little bit early, but I wanted, you know, 0:14:57.160 --> 0:14:58.720 in that format, I wanted to make sure to get 0:14:58.720 --> 0:15:02.120 the high end strikeouts. Really can't go wrong. Gilbert proved 0:15:02.160 --> 0:15:05.520 me wrong. I thought, the you know, like the fastball, 0:15:05.680 --> 0:15:07.920 you want this like big popping fastball to let the 0:15:08.040 --> 0:15:10.920 splitters really dominate. And I remember talking to Eno about 0:15:10.920 --> 0:15:12.480 this last year and he agreed with me. But then 0:15:12.520 --> 0:15:14.440 it was like, oh, well, the fastball just got better, 0:15:14.600 --> 0:15:17.440 and then the splitter was great. And Reagan's is Reagans 0:15:17.440 --> 0:15:19.360 as well. I mean, these are all really great. At 0:15:19.440 --> 0:15:22.560 least two of them high end strikeout options. Gilbert probably 0:15:22.600 --> 0:15:25.880 the lowest floor. Maybe Crochet is going to be a 0:15:25.920 --> 0:15:29.360 little bit more susceptible in a hitter friendly environment, but 0:15:29.440 --> 0:15:31.800 him also might lead the league in strikeouts, and there 0:15:31.840 --> 0:15:34.680 are tons and tons of win opportunities with this offensive 0:15:34.720 --> 0:15:39.200 support getting out of Chicago. So I love Garrett Crochet. 0:15:39.280 --> 0:15:43.320 I've got him at I think SP four in my rank. 0:15:43.440 --> 0:15:45.920 So Crochet is my pick. Are you different from me? 0:15:46.480 --> 0:15:49.960 I would still go Gilbert personally. Again, Gilbert's the most 0:15:49.960 --> 0:15:52.400 expensive probably of these three, I would think, although you 0:15:52.480 --> 0:15:54.040 never know, I mean, some of these expert drafts. You're 0:15:54.040 --> 0:15:56.480 seeing people you don't go early for Crochet. Crochet has 0:15:56.480 --> 0:16:00.280 got incredible potential. My question is, was it look want 0:16:00.280 --> 0:16:02.200 to get to one hundred and fifty innings and pass 0:16:02.320 --> 0:16:04.400 that again? And I think I think it'll be okay, 0:16:04.480 --> 0:16:07.480 like he had what one I think last year? You know, 0:16:07.640 --> 0:16:09.760 I think it'll be okay. Is it gonna be different 0:16:09.880 --> 0:16:12.960 environment for him? Will game matter more? More pressure, different 0:16:13.040 --> 0:16:15.200 kind of media, the whole that like, I mean, different 0:16:15.240 --> 0:16:17.240 kind of attention, different kind of pressure. I think he's 0:16:17.320 --> 0:16:19.360 up for it. Crochet is the big swing. I'll say 0:16:19.400 --> 0:16:21.880 this right, Crochet is the big swing. If you want 0:16:21.880 --> 0:16:23.960 to go for the moon, if you want to play 0:16:23.960 --> 0:16:26.800 it safer, it's Gilbert. Look, all three of them are good. 0:16:26.840 --> 0:16:28.960 You could even say, if it's in a salary cap draft, 0:16:29.000 --> 0:16:32.080 whoever comes cheaper it would be the best answer, because 0:16:32.080 --> 0:16:33.160 I don't think at the end of the day they're 0:16:33.200 --> 0:16:36.960 gonna be all that far apart in relative position value. 0:16:36.560 --> 0:16:40.760 And consensus ranks. Right now, it's actually the answer is Gilbert. 0:16:40.800 --> 0:16:41.560 I just want to throw. 0:16:41.400 --> 0:16:43.120 Out I'm not surprised. I mean, Gilbert would be a 0:16:43.160 --> 0:16:43.840 love choice too. 0:16:44.280 --> 0:16:46.920 I'm actually surprised about this Gilbert's four. I didn't realize this. 0:16:47.000 --> 0:16:50.480 Gilbert is SP four on the consensus ranks on Fantasy pros, 0:16:50.880 --> 0:16:55.400 Crochet is eight and Reagan's is nine. I am very 0:16:55.440 --> 0:16:57.040 pro Crochet as far as that group. 0:16:57.320 --> 0:17:00.280 A big crocheer, big big knitter, big crocheer. He loves 0:17:00.280 --> 0:17:02.160 all of it. By the way, A set sent me 0:17:02.160 --> 0:17:03.520 the link for this Red Sox thing, but it was 0:17:03.520 --> 0:17:06.720 about last year's team. I want something that's like Hard Knocks, 0:17:06.760 --> 0:17:09.000 where I'm watching two weeks of spring training and you're 0:17:09.040 --> 0:17:10.760 giving me all the stuff and all the things going 0:17:10.760 --> 0:17:11.560 on behind the sea. 0:17:11.840 --> 0:17:15.199 MLB's a free weekly live. Yeah, it catches up for 0:17:15.240 --> 0:17:16.720 the last week like hard. 0:17:16.640 --> 0:17:19.320 Right, like Hard Knocks does. That's what we want here. 0:17:19.880 --> 0:17:20.800 That's what we're looking for. 0:17:21.119 --> 0:17:25.040 Hot hits. It's Boston on Netflix. 0:17:25.200 --> 0:17:27.520 There you go. You'll get a little glitchy there. For 0:17:27.600 --> 0:17:29.080 a second, I thought I was gonna have to get 0:17:29.080 --> 0:17:32.760 Popping Welsh out there. Joey Navarro, good friend of the show. 0:17:32.800 --> 0:17:34.960 I need help for my last keeper this year, either 0:17:35.280 --> 0:17:37.800
