1
00:00:05,640 --> 00:00:08,399
Speaker 1: Welcome in if riding to Fantasy pros MLB. It's time

2
00:00:08,440 --> 00:00:10,559
Speaker 1: to make some trades. It is me, Joey p Joe

3
00:00:10,560 --> 00:00:12,600
Speaker 1: pisif here with me, of course is the Welsh, and

4
00:00:12,640 --> 00:00:15,840
Speaker 1: this is our last big trade video heading into the

5
00:00:15,960 --> 00:00:18,400
Speaker 1: latter part of the season, the stretch run. So if

6
00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:20,400
Speaker 1: you're in it, if you're out of it, or even

7
00:00:20,440 --> 00:00:23,079
Speaker 1: if you're looking ahead and keeper leagues, we're gonna do

8
00:00:23,120 --> 00:00:25,919
Speaker 1: our best to help you make the right moves to

9
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:28,160
Speaker 1: do just that, which is success for the short and

10
00:00:28,360 --> 00:00:30,200
Speaker 1: the long term. We're gonna have all the success we

11
00:00:30,240 --> 00:00:32,479
Speaker 1: possibly can. And Welsh, I want to start with a

12
00:00:32,479 --> 00:00:35,840
Speaker 1: guy who's probably been one of the more disappointing assets

13
00:00:36,560 --> 00:00:40,760
Speaker 1: that we've seen all season long, Mookie Bets top five

14
00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:44,920
Speaker 1: overall selection, just eleven home runs on the season, six RBI.

15
00:00:45,159 --> 00:00:48,000
Speaker 1: And let's be honest too, the last thirty days of

16
00:00:48,080 --> 00:00:49,960
Speaker 1: not being kind to Mookie Bets, if you look at

17
00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:52,080
Speaker 1: some of the numbers for him, he has just one

18
00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:54,960
Speaker 1: home run over his last twenty five games here for him,

19
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:57,400
Speaker 1: actually just two home runs. Pardon me, he's hitting a

20
00:00:57,400 --> 00:01:01,760
Speaker 1: buck eighty six over that period. Ops, Welsh, it's five

21
00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:04,240
Speaker 1: to oh seven now, I was concerned about Mookie Bets

22
00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:06,440
Speaker 1: going into the season because he had that illness or

23
00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:08,520
Speaker 1: he lost all the weight, and I thought, man, it's

24
00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:11,000
Speaker 1: a long season. This seems like a bad situation. But

25
00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:14,240
Speaker 1: then things started to go okay for him. But it

26
00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:16,800
Speaker 1: has not been very good towards the end of June

27
00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:19,120
Speaker 1: and beginning of July from Mookie Bets. But I want

28
00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:21,200
Speaker 1: to bet on the talent of a player at Mookie

29
00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:24,720
Speaker 1: Bets is extraordinary talent. Hopefully this All Star break is

30
00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:27,760
Speaker 1: exactly what he needs to reset. So if I'm looking

31
00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:30,560
Speaker 1: for a big time impact bat, a guy who can

32
00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:33,400
Speaker 1: do it all, I think Mookie Bets is worth that risk.

33
00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:34,279
Speaker 1: What do you think?

34
00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:36,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think I agree with you too, because the

35
00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:39,400
Speaker 2: sentiment around him too is just so bad. Just like

36
00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:41,360
Speaker 2: you know, when you look at the first round, he

37
00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:43,600
Speaker 2: is probably at the tippy top or like right at

38
00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:45,560
Speaker 2: the cusp. I think who the Rodriguez was one of

39
00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:47,880
Speaker 2: those who we were buying in the last video that

40
00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:50,040
Speaker 2: we did. But I think Mooki is kind of in

41
00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:52,800
Speaker 2: that spot where the batting average is struggled. He's not

42
00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:56,320
Speaker 2: stealing bases, the homer, everything just looks very mediocre. But

43
00:01:56,840 --> 00:01:59,480
Speaker 2: you know, a lot of the metrics are just still there.

44
00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:03,560
Speaker 2: He's got expected batting average that's fifteen points higher. It's

45
00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:06,000
Speaker 2: really one of the lowest he's had in the last

46
00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:08,040
Speaker 2: like five or six years, but it is still higher.

47
00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:11,200
Speaker 2: He's not striking out. He does this launch angle sweet

48
00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:12,600
Speaker 2: spot thing where he gets the ball in the air

49
00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:14,799
Speaker 2: and pulls it. He's doing a decent job of that.

50
00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:18,079
Speaker 2: He's still got an over ninety percent zone contact even

51
00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:21,160
Speaker 2: if it's down. So it's like, wherever the downticks are,

52
00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:24,239
Speaker 2: a lot of who Mookie bets is is still there.

53
00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:27,640
Speaker 2: So if ninety five percent of the Mookie that we

54
00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:30,080
Speaker 2: know is still there, then I think it's it's in

55
00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:32,360
Speaker 2: a safer place to start betting on. Like who we

56
00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:35,280
Speaker 2: know him from before, which is, you know, a thirty

57
00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:37,639
Speaker 2: plus home run guy. He struggled at home this year,

58
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:39,639
Speaker 2: which seems like a kind of a weird thing. I

59
00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:41,760
Speaker 2: think he can bounce back. He's only two thirty eight

60
00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:44,880
Speaker 2: at home, which why that's important that they're one of

61
00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:47,720
Speaker 2: the best ballpark for rein headed hitters, for pull side homers,

62
00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:49,600
Speaker 2: and that is something that he specifically does. I talked

63
00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:51,760
Speaker 2: about launch angle, sweet spot. He is able to hit

64
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:53,160
Speaker 2: the ball in away where he gets it in the

65
00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:56,280
Speaker 2: air and he drops bombs at home, and I think

66
00:02:56,320 --> 00:02:58,240
Speaker 2: he's going to kind of get back to that. He's

67
00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:02,200
Speaker 2: also weirdly struggled against slow lighters this year, like oddly,

68
00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:05,680
Speaker 2: it's like he's really really hitting poorly, but expected batting

69
00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:08,560
Speaker 2: averages really on most all pitch types are higher. So

70
00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:11,280
Speaker 2: I think, like we could talk about all the like,

71
00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:14,080
Speaker 2: you know, the logistics of why he's Mookie Betts. I

72
00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:15,760
Speaker 2: think that's another way we put it, Like we know

73
00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:18,240
Speaker 2: it's a Dodgers team who's gonna go hamm in the

74
00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:21,080
Speaker 2: second half. Mookie Betts has always been a first round

75
00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:23,840
Speaker 2: ish talent. He's really struggling. I think people are letting go,

76
00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:27,960
Speaker 2: and I think there are many metrics that are working

77
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:30,120
Speaker 2: in his favor to say that it is a goodbye.

78
00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:32,360
Speaker 2: So that's kind of the layman's way to just go

79
00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:34,760
Speaker 2: about giving a little bit of justification on why you

80
00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:36,960
Speaker 2: should buy a player like Mookie Bets.

81
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:39,600
Speaker 1: I'd also be buying Roman Anthony. Over his first one

82
00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:42,120
Speaker 1: hundred bats in the big leagues, it's very easy to

83
00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:44,080
Speaker 1: look and say, oh, two home runs and two steals,

84
00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:46,360
Speaker 1: two sixty four batting average, a seven to seventy seven

85
00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:48,880
Speaker 1: ops E I think to really get excited about or

86
00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:51,120
Speaker 1: see here, But I think that's wrong. I think if

87
00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:53,000
Speaker 1: you look at what he's been doing lately the last

88
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:55,800
Speaker 1: fifteen games, he's think three seventy three over that span

89
00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:58,240
Speaker 1: with a four to thirty nine OBP and a five

90
00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:00,920
Speaker 1: twenty five slugging Roman Anthony starting to figure it out.

91
00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:03,640
Speaker 1: The Red Sox are getting hot. Alex Bregman is back

92
00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:07,360
Speaker 1: in that lineup now. I think this Red Sox renaissance

93
00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:09,520
Speaker 1: is for real, and I think Anthony is gonna be

94
00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:11,600
Speaker 1: one of these guys I would even say is really

95
00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:12,960
Speaker 1: in the think of it. You can get ten to

96
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:14,320
Speaker 1: one on him for Rookie of the Year right now

97
00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:16,400
Speaker 1: in the American League. All of a sudden, Jacob Wilson's

98
00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:18,400
Speaker 1: going back to the pack a little bit here in

99
00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:21,039
Speaker 1: that race too. I could see Roman Anthony really making

100
00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:22,880
Speaker 1: a run of this in the second half, especially if

101
00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:25,360
Speaker 1: the Red Sox get carried not only to the playoffs

102
00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:29,359
Speaker 1: but maybe even dare I say, the American League East title.

103
00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:31,919
Speaker 1: I think Roman Anthony right now this might be the

104
00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:34,960
Speaker 1: last chance to buy him for any redraft league.

105
00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:38,000
Speaker 2: I actually like the betting angle to that too, because

106
00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:40,840
Speaker 2: they're on a big run. He's an important piece of it.

107
00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:43,880
Speaker 2: He's hitting you in a really important part of the lineup.

108
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:46,880
Speaker 2: His profile looks really great. Fifty five percent hard hit

109
00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:49,640
Speaker 2: with a double digit barrel. That is chef's kiss. That

110
00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:52,200
Speaker 2: is exactly what you want. He's doing this all also

111
00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:55,400
Speaker 2: while not getting the ball really like pulling it in

112
00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:57,719
Speaker 2: the air. He's got an eight percent pull rate, which sucks,

113
00:04:57,720 --> 00:05:00,480
Speaker 2: and his launch angles three like those are both so

114
00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:02,880
Speaker 2: that what I'm getting at is there's a there's room

115
00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:05,880
Speaker 2: for improvement on that. And as far as pitch types go,

116
00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:08,080
Speaker 2: he's hitting over two to eighty against off speed and

117
00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:11,880
Speaker 2: breaking off speed and fastballs. He's breaking pitches. He's struggling,

118
00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:14,440
Speaker 2: but he's got an expected batting average. All right, I'm sorry,

119
00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:18,760
Speaker 2: it's the inverse. He's really beneficial on breaking pitches. It

120
00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:21,520
Speaker 2: is the fastballs that it's like around two fifty but

121
00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:24,200
Speaker 2: expected to eighty five. So I just think the quality

122
00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:26,920
Speaker 2: of contact again, layming it back like, the profile looks good.

123
00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:29,520
Speaker 2: The quality of contact is solid, and Roman Anthony's gonna

124
00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:32,120
Speaker 2: be a big piece of the Red Sox being successful

125
00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:34,359
Speaker 2: in the second half. So kind of a good rookie

126
00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:36,320
Speaker 2: bye right now and a great rookie bet.

127
00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:38,279
Speaker 1: Yes, I love the two have I already bet him

128
00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:40,680
Speaker 1: to win that award. I bet Misserroowski too when he

129
00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:44,560
Speaker 1: was ten to one. That's looking pretty decent, so fingers crossed.

130
00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:47,280
Speaker 1: I learned my lesson last year. You know, I flew

131
00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:49,080
Speaker 1: too coast to the sun two years ago. I got

132
00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:51,160
Speaker 1: them both right, Corb and Carol Gunner Henderson got the

133
00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:53,719
Speaker 1: duo bet and felt so good. I felt cocky Welsh.

134
00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:55,920
Speaker 1: But I was like Icarus last year and I melted

135
00:05:56,839 --> 00:05:58,880
Speaker 1: just way too early, and on Rookie of the Year.

136
00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:01,160
Speaker 1: So I waited to lost break ish to get a

137
00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:03,800
Speaker 1: feel for it. Wait until June ish July, and then

138
00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:06,560
Speaker 1: I'm making my moves. And my moves were Miserowski number one,

139
00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:08,640
Speaker 1: number two, Roman Anthony, where you get him right now?

140
00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:11,000
Speaker 1: Our last buy? And I know this is asking a

141
00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:14,120
Speaker 1: lot because he's been here before, and I know he

142
00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:16,800
Speaker 1: threw up another stinker this past week. I get it.

143
00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:20,880
Speaker 1: But I can't get away from the deeper metrics on

144
00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:23,720
Speaker 1: Dylan ceas I just can't. He's got an eleven k

145
00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:26,600
Speaker 1: per nine, his walk rate is still at a reasonable

146
00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:30,039
Speaker 1: three walk per nine his expected era is still so

147
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:32,840
Speaker 1: much lower than his actual era is there is at

148
00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:36,119
Speaker 1: four to eight eight. The I can't imagine the cease

149
00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:38,760
Speaker 1: manager and I have zero shares this year. I can't

150
00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:41,000
Speaker 1: imagine where they're at, the frustrations they're at. Because the

151
00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:43,960
Speaker 1: expected era is three six, the fifth is three six nine,

152
00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:46,440
Speaker 1: and the X fIF is three four to three. All

153
00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:50,080
Speaker 1: of these metrics continue to scream, give Dylan Sees a break.

154
00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:52,760
Speaker 1: Hopefully he resets his brain and he comes back and

155
00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:55,720
Speaker 1: makes some adjustments to whatever is not going well for him,

156
00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:58,320
Speaker 1: or maybe it's just dumb luck. I don't know, but

157
00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:00,160
Speaker 1: I'm gonna die on this hill this year, and I

158
00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:02,360
Speaker 1: know I'm gonnaupset some people when I say buy Dylan Sees,

159
00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:04,000
Speaker 1: But I'm going to buy him for the stretch run

160
00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:06,120
Speaker 1: because there's not a lot of pitchers that I think

161
00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:08,120
Speaker 1: have that kind of talent, that kind of upside, that

162
00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:10,640
Speaker 1: are going to be available via trade who have struggled

163
00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:13,400
Speaker 1: consistently in that first half of the season. Ceases all

164
00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:16,400
Speaker 1: of those things, but all of the deeper numbers scream

165
00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:19,040
Speaker 1: that he could be better than what that three to

166
00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:20,120
Speaker 1: nine record shows you.

167
00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:24,040
Speaker 2: So this is a tough one. But I'm gonna side

168
00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:26,320
Speaker 2: with you on this, and this is I'm going to

169
00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:28,880
Speaker 2: take an L with it too, because I brought up

170
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:30,960
Speaker 2: and we broke caught up Dylan Cez like a month

171
00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:34,000
Speaker 2: ago and it has not worked. And that's an L

172
00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:36,720
Speaker 2: because he has not turned it around. But why this

173
00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:39,960
Speaker 2: is doable right now is because he's at an all

174
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:42,840
Speaker 2: time load Dylan Ceese. You know, as people were putting

175
00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:45,520
Speaker 2: Zach Allen out to past year, people are now replacing

176
00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:48,320
Speaker 2: that with Dylan Cees. Dylan Ceze is done. He has

177
00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:52,440
Speaker 2: not recouped a couple string of good games. He's got

178
00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:54,840
Speaker 2: an almost five VRA. He's in i think the top

179
00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:58,720
Speaker 2: five of worst qualified starter eras out there like it's bad.

180
00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:02,000
Speaker 2: He's giving up too many barrels. So the reason you

181
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:05,200
Speaker 2: can jump into those waters now is you're getting You're

182
00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:07,200
Speaker 2: almost at the point where it's like you can only

183
00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:10,000
Speaker 2: go up. I mean hopefully not your ear a going up,

184
00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:12,480
Speaker 2: but you can only go up. But also to what

185
00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:14,600
Speaker 2: you're saying, like the expected numbers are telling us still

186
00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:18,040
Speaker 2: a story over a run better expected era around three

187
00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:20,480
Speaker 2: and a half. His strikeouts are the same as they

188
00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:23,480
Speaker 2: were last year. Twenty nine Elite percent. He's not walking

189
00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:25,040
Speaker 2: a whole lot more, He's just giving up a lot

190
00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:28,440
Speaker 2: more barreled contact. But the difference now is that cost

191
00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:30,760
Speaker 2: should be so much cheaper. So if you bought before,

192
00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:33,120
Speaker 2: think you got to kind of hold because it's not

193
00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:36,880
Speaker 2: worth cutting bait. But he is at such a frickin'

194
00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:39,280
Speaker 2: low right now that I think, like why not you

195
00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:43,400
Speaker 2: could probably you could probably get him for sps that

196
00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:45,280
Speaker 2: are in the forties, probably some guys that you picked

197
00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:47,200
Speaker 2: up off the wire at this point. Now, that's where

198
00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:49,640
Speaker 2: the level of frustration is, and there's still a really

199
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:53,040
Speaker 2: great second half upside for a guy like Dylan.

200
00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:56,199
Speaker 1: Cees agreed one hundred percent. Man, Again, it's a leap

201
00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:57,840
Speaker 1: of faith, but that's what you gotta do to win

202
00:08:57,920 --> 00:09:01,040
Speaker 1: championship sometimes and sometimes price anding, like we talked about

203
00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:03,640
Speaker 1: on Talent pays off. I mean, look at last week

204
00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:06,480
Speaker 1: we talked about Julia Rodriguez buying him mister second half.

205
00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:08,840
Speaker 1: He had a pretty damn good weekend. So hopefully you

206
00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:11,200
Speaker 1: listened last Tuesday when the show came out. Before we

207

220
00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:50,720
Speaker 1: start with Caleb Durbin on the sell highs here Welsh,

221
00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:52,679
Speaker 1: and look, this is not a knock on what the

222
00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:54,520
Speaker 1: kid's been able to do, because the kid has been

223
00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:58,240
Speaker 1: really exciting. Caleb Durbin has been I think better than

224
00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:01,520
Speaker 1: you could have possibly asked him to be. I just

225
00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:03,400
Speaker 1: don't think it's enough. I think at the end of

226
00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:06,280
Speaker 1: the day, we are still going to get a replacement here,

227
00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:09,040
Speaker 1: and I still say Juhenio Suarez is that guy. So

228
00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:11,440
Speaker 1: I don't want to knock what Caleb Durban has been

229
00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:14,280
Speaker 1: able to do. I think we can all step back

230
00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:16,440
Speaker 1: and say, hey, good job, buddy. I mean, he's in

231
00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:20,359
Speaker 1: three sixty five over the last thirty days. That's incredible.

232
00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:22,200
Speaker 1: He's got two home runs, He's got a nine oh

233
00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:25,040
Speaker 1: eight ops. I just don't know if that's exactly who

234
00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:28,840
Speaker 1: the Caleb Durban profile, considering he's a two to sixty

235
00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:31,600
Speaker 1: one hitter this season. So I think the Brewers are

236
00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:33,320
Speaker 1: for real. They're gonna go get another bat, and I

237
00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:35,640
Speaker 1: think Caleb Durban, unfortunately, is gonna be the odd man out.

238
00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:36,959
Speaker 1: What do you think. I think this is the time

239
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:39,040
Speaker 1: to get out before the next two weeks hit and

240
00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:40,520
Speaker 1: he gets replaced.

241
00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:42,920
Speaker 2: What this speaks more to of is not that you

242
00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:45,360
Speaker 2: can get a great value for Caleb Durbin and that

243
00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:47,160
Speaker 2: you need to figure it out. If you're relying on

244
00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:49,800
Speaker 2: Caleb Durban, you probably need to get out. I think

245
00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:51,440
Speaker 2: I agree with you. I think they're gonna go and

246
00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:53,360
Speaker 2: make a move. I think Swarez would be a great fit.

247
00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:56,240
Speaker 2: Caleb Durban can then become like a super util guy.

248
00:10:56,760 --> 00:10:58,960
Speaker 2: I would feel different if I was seeing the Caleb

249
00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:01,080
Speaker 2: Durban that I saw in the al that broke the

250
00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:05,679
Speaker 2: single season stolen based record all time. Even he's just

251
00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:08,079
Speaker 2: not stealing at an incredibly great clip, but he is

252
00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:10,520
Speaker 2: hitting well, hitting three forty six in July two ninety

253
00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:12,880
Speaker 2: six this past month. I just don't think it's enough

254
00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:15,480
Speaker 2: for them to make the commitment so in that, I

255
00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:16,839
Speaker 2: don't know if you can get a whole lot for

256
00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:19,679
Speaker 2: Caleb Durban, sure I would probably sell that. I think

257
00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:22,079
Speaker 2: they're gonna probably move on and he becomes more of

258
00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:24,040
Speaker 2: a super util guy that I don't want to like,

259
00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:25,320
Speaker 2: you know, rely on.

260
00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:28,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think super util is probably very useful for

261
00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:31,480
Speaker 1: the Milwaukee Brewers as they make their playoff stretch. Run. Here,

262
00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:34,920
Speaker 1: who's got the best era in baseball over the last

263
00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:37,680
Speaker 1: thirty days. I bet you didn't know. It was Lucas Giolito.

264
00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:41,319
Speaker 1: Point eight three. That's how good he has been over

265
00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:43,600
Speaker 1: his last five starts. Thirty two winnings, twenty one hits,

266
00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:47,280
Speaker 1: thirty three strikeouts, seven walks. Now, look, this has been great.

267
00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:49,240
Speaker 1: If you pick him up off the waiver wire, you

268
00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:52,320
Speaker 1: can't possibly be happier than what Lucas Giolito has given you.

269
00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:55,920
Speaker 1: But this is unsustainable. It can't possibly be this good

270
00:11:56,520 --> 00:11:59,880
Speaker 1: for much longer. So I'm not trying to just completely

271
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:01,760
Speaker 1: run a muck here and get rid of him. But

272
00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:04,680
Speaker 1: when you're talking about selling players at their peak, this

273
00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:07,440
Speaker 1: is it. This is the peak of Lucas Giolito. And

274
00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:09,360
Speaker 1: if you think you know what you saw in the

275
00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:11,960
Speaker 1: beginning of the year was scary and you're probably right,

276
00:12:12,559 --> 00:12:14,840
Speaker 1: this is the time where you can flip an asset

277
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:17,040
Speaker 1: and get out from under Lucas Giolito. So I'm not

278
00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:19,040
Speaker 1: saying you have detroy him. I'm saying this is the

279
00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:22,120
Speaker 1: peak value. So Welsh, I know you've had a tough

280
00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:25,000
Speaker 1: relationship with Lucas Giolino this season, but he has been

281
00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:29,120
Speaker 1: absolutely brilliant over the last month or so. If you

282
00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:31,360
Speaker 1: want to hold on to him, cool, But if you

283
00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:32,960
Speaker 1: want to kick the tires on a trade where you

284
00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:35,680
Speaker 1: can bring back something bigger in a package deal, this

285
00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:36,440
Speaker 1: is your moment.

286
00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:40,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm willing to kick the tires. I would say,

287
00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:41,880
Speaker 2: like him being a three and a half year aa

288
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:44,640
Speaker 2: is is not unheard of. He was that for years

289
00:12:44,679 --> 00:12:46,880
Speaker 2: and years back in twenty twenty one, but it's been

290
00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:49,680
Speaker 2: a long time. You know, he's becoming a completely different player.

291
00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:52,600
Speaker 2: I do think he you know, he found a fix

292
00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:55,520
Speaker 2: in his foreseen fastball. He's an important cog to the

293
00:12:55,559 --> 00:12:58,079
Speaker 2: Red Sox right now, but as you said, there's an

294
00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:02,040
Speaker 2: overrun higher exp than his current which would make him

295
00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:04,560
Speaker 2: close to Dylan Ces's current era at four to seven

296
00:13:04,559 --> 00:13:08,520
Speaker 2: to three. His expected batting averages against are pretty much

297
00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:10,560
Speaker 2: all higher. He's already giving up a two to ninety

298
00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:13,480
Speaker 2: batting average with his four seen fastball, but all the

299
00:13:13,520 --> 00:13:16,480
Speaker 2: other secondary stuff it's quite a bit higher. So I

300
00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:17,760
Speaker 2: have a little bit of worry that he's going to

301
00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:19,480
Speaker 2: come back down to earth. I actually think he could

302
00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:22,400
Speaker 2: still be relatively valuable. But if somebody is looking at

303
00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:24,760
Speaker 2: that three three era and the Red Sox winning and

304
00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:27,199
Speaker 2: willing to overpay, I am going to listen because some

305
00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:29,280
Speaker 2: regression does seem likely for Giolito.

306
00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:31,520
Speaker 1: All Right, the last guy we're gonna talk about here,

307
00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:34,240
Speaker 1: and then we're gonna give you some keeper love as well,

308
00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:37,880
Speaker 1: Jose Barrios. I want to talk about him because I

309
00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:39,880
Speaker 1: know he's just kind of like your league average pitcher.

310
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:42,000
Speaker 1: Some days are good, some days are less good. But

311
00:13:42,679 --> 00:13:45,320
Speaker 1: looking ahead here, you know, the last couple starts for

312
00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:47,760
Speaker 1: him have been a little checkered. For me, hasn't been great.

313
00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:50,360
Speaker 1: The last start against the Athletics on the road not

314
00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:53,079
Speaker 1: good either. So for his last seven games is era

315
00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:56,760
Speaker 1: is approaching four. Again, the expected ERA is higher than

316
00:13:56,800 --> 00:13:59,480
Speaker 1: the actual ERA. On the season as well, he's also been,

317
00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:02,040
Speaker 1: you know, worse on the road. He's got an ERA

318
00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:04,800
Speaker 1: over four on the road this year. So to me,

319
00:14:04,920 --> 00:14:06,439
Speaker 1: this is another one of these players where if I

320
00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:10,480
Speaker 1: can flip Burrios for somebody who is more exciting or

321
00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:13,160
Speaker 1: dare I say, more reliable on a consistent start to

322
00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:15,439
Speaker 1: start basis, I'd like to do it because I think

323
00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:18,160
Speaker 1: the overall picture is, hey, this is a solid picture

324
00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:21,160
Speaker 1: on a contending team. But from a fantasy perspective, I

325
00:14:21,160 --> 00:14:22,760
Speaker 1: think there might be other ways to go. What do

326
00:14:22,760 --> 00:14:24,520
Speaker 1: you think about Barrios and what his value might be

327
00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:25,080
Speaker 1: on the market?

328
00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:28,120
Speaker 2: One hundred percent. This has been on the trade articles

329
00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:32,160
Speaker 2: we do on Fantasy pros. I've had him recently a

330
00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:35,440
Speaker 2: couple of weeks ago that I completely agree. He kind

331
00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:38,720
Speaker 2: of screams out to me, mediocre is definitely the word

332
00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:40,960
Speaker 2: I would use. We talked about some high barrel rates

333
00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:45,040
Speaker 2: on pictures. He's giving up eleven percent bail rate. That's astronomical,

334
00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:48,640
Speaker 2: that's ridiculous. Really a big, hard hit stuff he's given up.

335
00:14:48,640 --> 00:14:52,360
Speaker 2: His MaxV against has been one eighteen. It's over ninety average.

336
00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:56,400
Speaker 2: His expected ERA is a full run higher, strikeouts are low.

337
00:14:56,560 --> 00:14:59,120
Speaker 2: He has about a twelve K minus walk percentage, so

338
00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:00,840
Speaker 2: he has a higher walk great that he's had in

339
00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:04,240
Speaker 2: five years, and his strikeout rate is only twenty percent. So,

340
00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:06,600
Speaker 2: like all that stuff just doesn't match up. I think

341
00:15:06,640 --> 00:15:08,880
Speaker 2: he's gonna get blown up a little bit. I don't

342
00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:11,320
Speaker 2: like him in the second half. Maybe I'll be proven wrong.

343
00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:13,480
Speaker 2: Blue Jays are trying to win games, but this would

344
00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:16,360
Speaker 2: be a guy that I'm definitely trying to move off of,

345
00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:19,280
Speaker 2: hopefully in one for one value. But I think regression

346
00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:20,360
Speaker 2: is coming for Brios.

347
00:15:20,520 --> 00:15:24,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, I do too, And I have my concerns about

348
00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:27,920
Speaker 1: if the don't tell Joel Rico, if the Toronto Blue

349
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:30,360
Speaker 1: Jays can sustain what they've done here so far. It's

350
00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:32,560
Speaker 1: been a fun story. It's been really good. But you know,

351
00:15:32,680 --> 00:15:34,400
Speaker 1: guys like Max Schuers are in that rotation. I just

352
00:15:34,440 --> 00:15:35,720
Speaker 1: don't know if we can get there. And look, the

353
00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:38,040
Speaker 1: strikeout rate for Brios a seven point five to seven

354
00:15:38,160 --> 00:15:40,680
Speaker 1: K per nine, it's not great. The walk rate compared

355
00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:43,400
Speaker 1: to that three point two walk per nine not great,

356
00:15:43,720 --> 00:15:45,960
Speaker 1: and his expected the ra is four to six seven

357
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:48,360
Speaker 1: on that three seven five era. So just to throw

358
00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:51,720
Speaker 1: that out there again, it's not quite as pretty as

359
00:15:51,800 --> 00:15:53,760
Speaker 1: some of the flat stats make it look. When you

360
00:15:53,760 --> 00:15:55,760
Speaker 1: start peeling back the layers of the onion, it starts

361
00:15:55,760 --> 00:15:57,720
Speaker 1: to stink a little bit. So Welsh for those people

362
00:15:57,720 --> 00:16:00,320
Speaker 1: who are playing in leagues with keeper dynasty situation here

363
00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:02,760
Speaker 1: where you're looking forward to next year. Maybe the twenty

364
00:16:02,800 --> 00:16:05,200
Speaker 1: twenty five season did not work out for you, but

365
00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:08,120
Speaker 1: twenty twenty six we're on and we're thinking about the future.

366
00:16:08,600 --> 00:16:10,400
Speaker 1: Who are some of the prospects or young guys that

367
00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:13,000
Speaker 1: you'd like to acquire in those situations. I know, I

368
00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:16,560
Speaker 1: kept talking about Uri Perez last couple of weeks. You know,

369
00:16:16,600 --> 00:16:18,440
Speaker 1: it's like, I think next year this time, we're gonna

370
00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:20,480
Speaker 1: talk about him in that same conversation, like the Skeens

371
00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:23,040
Speaker 1: type of guy. So that's mine. But is there somebody

372
00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:25,120
Speaker 1: else for you or maybe a player or two that

373
00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:27,160
Speaker 1: you think is like, all right, you're looking forward to

374
00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:29,720
Speaker 1: the future right now, these are some of the guys

375
00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:31,000
Speaker 1: that I want to try to get my hands on.

376
00:16:31,560 --> 00:16:34,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, you've got You've got great assets that help someone

377
00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:36,560
Speaker 2: win now, and you've got a top team who's trying

378
00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:39,040
Speaker 2: to buy those and you're trying to, you know, compete

379
00:16:39,080 --> 00:16:41,480
Speaker 2: maybe for next season of the year after. Number one

380
00:16:41,480 --> 00:16:44,800
Speaker 2: player i'm going after is Connor Griffin. Connor Griffin is

381
00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:47,560
Speaker 2: going to be my number one overall prospect once Roman,

382
00:16:47,560 --> 00:16:50,360
Speaker 2: Anthony and Kags have full graduation. He was in the

383
00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:53,320
Speaker 2: futures game. He's moving through the system like crazy. I

384
00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:55,440
Speaker 2: don't know if he'll be viable next season because the

385
00:16:55,440 --> 00:16:57,560
Speaker 2: Pirates aren't competing, but he is going to be at

386
00:16:57,600 --> 00:16:59,160
Speaker 2: the top of the list. I'm also going to throw

387
00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:01,480
Speaker 2: out to Kevin McGough. He might be number one or

388
00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:03,360
Speaker 2: number two on a lot of lists. He had an

389
00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:05,440
Speaker 2: injury early on in the season with the Tigers. He's

390
00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:08,600
Speaker 2: flying through their system. He's a madman with the bat.

391
00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:10,800
Speaker 2: I really like him. And then give me one other

392
00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:12,480
Speaker 2: that I think is cooled for a lot of people,

393
00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:17,080
Speaker 2: Travis Bozana. You have CAGs and you've got Kurts, you

394
00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:19,800
Speaker 2: got Cam Smith, You've got all these guys that were

395
00:17:19,840 --> 00:17:22,720
Speaker 2: just drafted that came up. Charlie Condon struggled all of

396
00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:25,880
Speaker 2: a sudden, He's in the futures game, where's Travis Bizana.

397
00:17:25,920 --> 00:17:28,520
Speaker 2: Travis Bizon's been out here hanging with me. He's been rehabbing.

398
00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:30,440
Speaker 2: He's been hurt for a couple months, out of sight,

399
00:17:30,520 --> 00:17:32,439
Speaker 2: out of mind. He struggled a little bit in his

400
00:17:32,520 --> 00:17:35,200
Speaker 2: double A. He got hurt, and all these guys have

401
00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:37,400
Speaker 2: passed him. So I think he is in the back

402
00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:39,920
Speaker 2: of people's minds. But I think he's going to get

403
00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:42,520
Speaker 2: back running here and his rehabs. He was hitting off

404
00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:47,479
Speaker 2: of Noah Cindergard, showing those leadership skills, taking walks, running,

405
00:17:47,560 --> 00:17:50,000
Speaker 2: playing the field, trying to pull the ball. He's a

406
00:17:50,080 --> 00:17:51,960
Speaker 2: heavy poll hitter. I think he's going to get back

407
00:17:51,960 --> 00:17:54,200
Speaker 2: to it. Really really smart kid. And I think it's

408
00:17:54,200 --> 00:17:57,200
Speaker 2: a fantastic time to buy low on Travis Bizana when

409
00:17:57,200 --> 00:17:59,480
Speaker 2: people are kind of down because he's not doing anything

410
00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:00,959
Speaker 2: and he got.

411
00:18:00,680 --> 00:18:03,359
Speaker 1: Yeah, there you go, last year's number one overall. Pick

412
00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:05,640
Speaker 1: goodbye low on him. That sounds like a good deal.

413
00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:08,560
Speaker 1: All right, that'll do it for us. Hoppy trading. Everybody,
