1
00:00:05,320 --> 00:00:08,240
Speaker 1: Welcome in everybody to Fantasy pros MLB. This is the

2
00:00:08,280 --> 00:00:11,000
Speaker 1: Fantasy Baseball podcast. It is me, Joey p Joe Pi's

3
00:00:11,400 --> 00:00:14,280
Speaker 1: with me is the Welsh. We've got real baseball happening

4
00:00:14,320 --> 00:00:17,040
Speaker 1: in less than twelve hours from now. Of us recording

5
00:00:17,480 --> 00:00:21,119
Speaker 1: is incredibly important, perhaps some might say even the most

6
00:00:21,120 --> 00:00:24,000
Speaker 1: important show of the season. That's right, it's the all

7
00:00:24,079 --> 00:00:26,400
Speaker 1: sleeper team. We're gonna talk about this and Welsh. This

8
00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:30,240
Speaker 1: feels right. We're talking about sleepers baseball. That counts as back.

9
00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:32,600
Speaker 1: Royce Lewis is hurt. It feels like we're in the

10
00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:33,320
Speaker 1: thick of the season.

11
00:00:34,120 --> 00:00:36,440
Speaker 2: Everything is normal. You're one hundred percent right about that.

12
00:00:36,479 --> 00:00:39,040
Speaker 2: Someone had a friend texts me like, oh man, it's

13
00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:42,640
Speaker 2: March and Royce Lewis gets hurt. It's baseball season. I'm like, yeah,

14
00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:46,000
Speaker 2: he gets hurt in March, April, May, June, July. It

15
00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:48,120
Speaker 2: all seems about the same. But you're one hundred percent rights.

16
00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:50,760
Speaker 2: People are watching this. We should have our first game

17
00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:53,640
Speaker 2: just like we all love it, our first game on

18
00:00:53,680 --> 00:00:56,960
Speaker 2: the West Coast being played at three thirty am. The

19
00:00:57,600 --> 00:01:01,400
Speaker 2: great reasons why ESPN, you know, really fought hard to

20
00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:03,840
Speaker 2: re up that deal. With MLB, but yes it is

21
00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:07,600
Speaker 2: actual baseball. Royce Lewis is hurt. All is kind of

22
00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:08,280
Speaker 2: right in the world.

23
00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:10,520
Speaker 1: I saw an amazing stat this morning when I got up,

24
00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:12,760
Speaker 1: I was going to the gym and I heard I

25
00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:15,880
Speaker 1: heard this come through there where it was twenty four

26
00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:19,600
Speaker 1: games I think combined, where Carlos Corea, Byron Buxton and

27
00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:21,320
Speaker 1: Royce Lewis were all on the field at the same

28
00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:23,919
Speaker 1: time last year for the Twins. By the way, kids,

29
00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:25,720
Speaker 1: the Twins are still at the top of the board

30
00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:29,240
Speaker 1: for that division. I don't understand why the Cleveland Guardians

31
00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:31,160
Speaker 1: eighty two and a half is the win total last

32
00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:33,200
Speaker 1: year they won ninety three games. Are they ten games

33
00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:36,160
Speaker 1: worse than last year? I don't think so. Smash that over.

34
00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:38,960
Speaker 1: It's still plus. That's from Uncle Joey. Let's get into

35
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:41,559
Speaker 1: the all sleeper team here. Where we got the catcher,

36
00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:43,559
Speaker 1: we got the infield, we got three outfielders, a couple

37
00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:46,360
Speaker 1: starting pitchers, and of course a relief pitcher. We're going

38
00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:48,760

Speaker 1: pretty good, is right? Well? You know Jerry? Yeah.

57
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:40,880
Speaker 2: Also, thinking about this last year on this show that

58
00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:43,760
Speaker 2: we did, we ha's some pretty great names and if

59
00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:46,640
Speaker 2: you think back to the you know, the names and

60
00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:49,840
Speaker 2: the values we had. Jaron Duran was on this as

61
00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:53,240
Speaker 2: Jackson Merrill, I believe was on my sleeper list at

62
00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:56,560
Speaker 2: that time, so you know, we didn't hit all of them.

63
00:02:56,560 --> 00:02:59,480
Speaker 2: Of course, I probably had the all bust team of

64
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:01,840
Speaker 2: Logan Gill, which is lol sleeper.

65
00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:03,440
Speaker 3: But we got some.

66
00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:05,600
Speaker 2: We got some good ones today and I just want

67
00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:07,640
Speaker 2: to let everybody know I'm going to go deeper on this.

68
00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:09,920
Speaker 2: I've kind of bounced around with sleepers. I think the

69
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:12,840
Speaker 2: term sleeper is always kind of goofy because you know,

70
00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:15,440
Speaker 2: there's so much information out there, there's so many people

71
00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:18,080
Speaker 2: curating that it's like everybody kind of knows everybody. But

72
00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:20,720
Speaker 2: I don't think the term sleeper has to just be

73
00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:23,720
Speaker 2: post four hundred or three hundred players. So I've kind

74
00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:26,160
Speaker 2: of bounced around just to let everybody know some guys

75
00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:28,040
Speaker 2: that are even in, like you know, the one fifties

76
00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:30,600
Speaker 2: that I think are still being slept on. But today

77
00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:32,839
Speaker 2: I went with a deeper list. I think I've got

78
00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:36,200
Speaker 2: only one player. I think technically it's two that are

79
00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:39,440
Speaker 2: inside the top two fifty, but one is like right there.

80
00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:42,280
Speaker 2: Otherwise we're talking threes and four hundred. This is the

81
00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:45,000
Speaker 2: deep all Welsh sleeper team for me.

82
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:47,920
Speaker 1: I think I go one sub two hundred ADP guy.

83
00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:50,400
Speaker 1: Everybody else's twos and threes. So let's get after it.

84
00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:52,760
Speaker 1: Let's get after the names, and let's start at the

85
00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:54,560
Speaker 1: catcher position. Here, we're going to go around the dime

86
00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:57,000
Speaker 1: in here, Wels, who is your sleeper catcher for twenty

87
00:03:57,040 --> 00:03:57,480
Speaker 1: twenty five.

88
00:03:57,720 --> 00:03:59,440
Speaker 2: Well, there's a lot of names I like to draft.

89
00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:02,320
Speaker 2: I think your name is probably the top guy in

90
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:05,280
Speaker 2: the sleeper market. The guy I'm drafting the most and

91
00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:08,960
Speaker 2: the All Welsh team is Austin Wells. Wilson Gatres. Austin Wells,

92
00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:12,280
Speaker 2: who I've talked about. Your guy is probably the top

93
00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:14,000
Speaker 2: of the sleeper list. But I got one more for

94
00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:15,760
Speaker 2: you in two catcher leagues that I was trying to

95
00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:17,560
Speaker 2: take in a lot of spots, and this is a

96
00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:22,200
Speaker 2: deeper name. ADP almost in the three hundreds at two ninety,

97
00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:24,920
Speaker 2: probably being held up a little bit by like NFBC.

98
00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:29,120
Speaker 2: But I'm going with Joey Bart throwback Joey Bart with

99
00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:32,040
Speaker 2: Pittsburgh Pirates, who looks like he's kind of locked in

100
00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:35,120
Speaker 2: to be the catcher this year. Obviously they've got Henry Davis.

101
00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:39,039
Speaker 2: Henry Davis also can kind of move around play outfield positionally,

102
00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:41,200
Speaker 2: But Joey Bart's having a great spring. He's hitting three

103
00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:44,040
Speaker 2: point fifty seven. We're seeing a bunch of power three

104
00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:47,000
Speaker 2: homers so far this spring and a six to eight

105
00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:50,680
Speaker 2: walk to strikeout ratio, So I mean, you're just seeing really,

106
00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:53,799
Speaker 2: really good contact numbers. He's going to be the primary catcher.

107
00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:56,440
Speaker 2: He had a pretty good run at the end of

108
00:04:56,520 --> 00:05:00,400
Speaker 2: last season as well, in totally had thirteen homers with

109
00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:03,000
Speaker 2: the two sixty five average in like two hundred and

110
00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:06,680
Speaker 2: fifty at bats last season as a whole, so I'm

111
00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:09,839
Speaker 2: really feeling good about that. He ended the season with

112
00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:13,120
Speaker 2: a two eighty average post All Star, breaking around just

113
00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:15,720
Speaker 2: under two hundred at bats, he had seven homers, two

114
00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:19,080
Speaker 2: eighty three p forty OVP. He's carrying a good season,

115
00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:22,599
Speaker 2: a good second half of the season over into a

116
00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:24,560
Speaker 2: really good spring on a Pirates team that I think

117
00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:26,960
Speaker 2: is kind of sneaky, you know, pending where they end

118
00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:29,880
Speaker 2: up putting him. There's some prime RBI opportunities with guys

119
00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:33,279
Speaker 2: like Brian Reynolds and Onnell Cruz. I really like the

120
00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:36,000
Speaker 2: prospects of Joey Bart potentially being able to push to

121
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:37,520
Speaker 2: be a top twelve catcher, if.

122
00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:40,440
Speaker 3: Not in two catcher leagues. He is my sleeper catcher.

123
00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:43,320
Speaker 1: I like this one. And I love the post type

124
00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:45,480
Speaker 1: guys too. We heard about Joey Bart for so many years,

125
00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:47,640
Speaker 1: and sometimes it doesn't work out. You know, it's funny.

126
00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:49,960
Speaker 1: I think for a lot of hitters too, getting out

127
00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:51,360
Speaker 1: of San Francisco tends to be a good thing. I

128
00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:53,480
Speaker 1: always wondered what Brandon Belt would have looked like if

129
00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:55,880
Speaker 1: he played somewhere else back in the day, Right, remember

130
00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:56,640
Speaker 1: Brandon when he.

131
00:05:56,640 --> 00:05:58,160
Speaker 2: Was young enough, because he went and played. I think

132
00:05:58,200 --> 00:05:59,880
Speaker 2: it was like Toronto and I just did no.

133
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:02,520
Speaker 1: I mean, like like in his prime, like early days,

134
00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:04,080
Speaker 1: before all the injuries and stuff. I was like, man,

135
00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:05,680
Speaker 1: we can just get this guy out of San Francisco.

136
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:07,880
Speaker 1: What would he look like? Yeah, the Toronto days by Yeah,

137
00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:09,320
Speaker 1: he was a beat up old man.

138
00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:12,000
Speaker 3: I can't do the neck thing. He had the biggest nets,

139
00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:12,839
Speaker 3: like a giraffe.

140
00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:16,080
Speaker 1: Not as much as Mike Glennon, but you know, I digress.

141
00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:18,520
Speaker 1: My catcher is Ivan Herrera. No surprise here from the

142
00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:21,360
Speaker 1: Saint Louis Cardinals. Talk about a good spring. He's having one,

143
00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:23,520
Speaker 1: hitting three forty eight with a four to eighty four

144
00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:27,400
Speaker 1: OBP twelve twenty three ops. He's got a homer in

145
00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:30,520
Speaker 1: about thirty one played appearances as of recording this look.

146
00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:32,640
Speaker 1: Last year he hit three hundred three to seventy two OBP.

147
00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:35,720
Speaker 1: It's not a joke, it's not a fluke. He was

148
00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:37,320
Speaker 1: a two eighty hitter in the minor leagues, a three

149
00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:39,320
Speaker 1: ninety two OBP. And I think he could do a

150
00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:42,080
Speaker 1: lot worse. Is he gonna have enormous power? No, it's

151
00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:44,560
Speaker 1: not gonna be his game. But especially in roatle leagues

152
00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:47,680
Speaker 1: where you're trying to make up some ground and batting average,

153
00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:50,240
Speaker 1: what a great opportunity to do it from the catcher spot,

154
00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:51,720
Speaker 1: you know. I mean, you can find some guys that

155
00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:53,880
Speaker 1: will hit your twenty home runs at catcher. Finding a

156
00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:56,000
Speaker 1: guy who's gonna get three hundred it's a little bit

157
00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:58,520
Speaker 1: tougher to find. And now that Hivan Herrera is going

158
00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:00,159
Speaker 1: to be the main guy over there, I think he

159
00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:02,080
Speaker 1: is a tremendous selection here.

160
00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:04,280
Speaker 2: Well we hope that's what we hope. The only thing

161
00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:07,120
Speaker 2: that the Cardinals get funky sometime. Pedro Pejas is kind

162
00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:09,600
Speaker 2: of floating around there. But like Herrera is the guy.

163
00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:11,560
Speaker 2: And as I mentioned, this is a guy that I

164
00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:13,680
Speaker 2: would have picked for this had you not, because I

165
00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:17,000
Speaker 2: think like his underlying bad skills are going to be

166
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:20,120
Speaker 2: able to hold off Pedro Payos from being like any

167
00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:22,520
Speaker 2: any type of the main guy. Well, they need also

168
00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:23,160
Speaker 2: just not come.

169
00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:26,200
Speaker 1: In more of the Cardinals later in the show. We'll

170
00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:28,680
Speaker 1: talk about that my first basement. And I know we

171
00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:31,160
Speaker 1: you know some leagues he's DH, but I'm going to

172
00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:33,920
Speaker 1: bend the rules a little bit here. The man child,

173
00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:36,880
Speaker 1: Kyle Manzardo. We've been waiting for this guy, you know,

174
00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:39,920
Speaker 1: came up through the Tampa system. We talk about, you know,

175
00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:41,960
Speaker 1: spring training doesn't mean anything except for the players that

176
00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:44,240
Speaker 1: means everything to and I think Kyle Manzarro is one

177
00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:46,440
Speaker 1: where it means something. You know, last year he was

178
00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:47,960
Speaker 1: really kind of getting his feet wet here with the

179
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:50,960
Speaker 1: Cleveland Guardians. This year, he's going to be hitting right

180
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:53,040
Speaker 1: after Jose Ramirez. He's going to have a lot of

181
00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:55,560
Speaker 1: opportunities to drive in runs. Huan's ahead of him as

182
00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:57,400
Speaker 1: well in this lineup. This is a good spot here

183
00:07:57,600 --> 00:08:02,160
Speaker 1: for Manzardo and soar the spring. The adjustments that he's

184
00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:04,320
Speaker 1: made this offseason, He's talked at length about them. I've

185
00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:07,200
Speaker 1: seen a few interviews with Manzarro. They're working hit in

186
00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:09,600
Speaker 1: three sixty eight with a ten to seventy three ops

187
00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:12,320
Speaker 1: currently three homers and seven RBI. Now he's going to

188
00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:14,800
Speaker 1: strike out a little bit, but Welsh, you know, if

189
00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:17,080
Speaker 1: you're looking for some power at the corner spots here

190
00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:20,240
Speaker 1: or utility spots depending on your league rules, I think

191
00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:22,000
Speaker 1: Manzardo is a guy that can give that to you.

192
00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:23,720
Speaker 1: I could see a path for him to hit twenty

193
00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:25,960
Speaker 1: five thirty homers this year. I love the spot in

194
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:28,760
Speaker 1: the batting order that matters. Who matters to you as

195
00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:32,480
Speaker 1: a sleeper. Potentially, Manzarto is the thirty seventh first basement

196
00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:35,880
Speaker 1: off the board three forty seven overall. Who is your

197
00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:39,000
Speaker 1: first baseman? Because he is even deeper than mine.

198
00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:40,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is the deepest play. I've talked a lot

199
00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:42,800
Speaker 2: about him. I would have picked common Zarto too. I

200
00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:44,439
Speaker 2: think that was a good one. But the guy I've

201
00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:47,800
Speaker 2: been talking a lot about qualifies it's potential in some places,

202
00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:50,280
Speaker 2: maybe just outfield, he also does qualify in first base

203
00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:54,040
Speaker 2: in some spots. It's Arizona Diamondbacks Peven Smith, and this

204
00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:56,559
Speaker 2: has been one I've been pretty vocal about. He has

205
00:08:56,640 --> 00:09:01,160
Speaker 2: got an a four fifty nine. This is eightyp's I

206
00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:03,319
Speaker 2: pulled up I don't remember if this is rank or ADPs,

207
00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:06,480
Speaker 2: but it's post four hundred either way. And I've again

208
00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:09,000
Speaker 2: I've talked at length about, you know, the spot where

209
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:11,880
Speaker 2: he gets to be the strong side platoon guy. He's

210
00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:14,960
Speaker 2: their new Jock Peterson, and he played like Jock Peterson.

211
00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:21,520
Speaker 2: Great contact numbers, high contact rate, good fiftieth percentile evs

212
00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:24,560
Speaker 2: of over one hundred versus Righty's, which is the strong

213
00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:25,839
Speaker 2: side platoon he'll go against.

214
00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:26,400
Speaker 3: Last year, he.

215
00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:30,000
Speaker 2: Hit two point eighty two, crushed eight homers in just

216
00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:34,080
Speaker 2: over one hundred at bats. He also played appearances. He

217
00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:36,840
Speaker 2: also hit two seventy two in the second half last season.

218
00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:39,280
Speaker 2: And as long as they make the commitment to keeping

219
00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:41,880
Speaker 2: him in the strong side platoon, which they've pretty much done,

220
00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:44,360
Speaker 2: then you know, if he gets four hundred and fifty

221
00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:47,120
Speaker 2: plate appearances, you might see twenty plus homers out of him.

222
00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:50,640
Speaker 2: He's super cheap, he's absolutely free. He might have multi

223
00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:54,440
Speaker 2: position qualifications. And the only worry that's out there is

224
00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:56,680
Speaker 2: you've got Randall Gritchick, who's going to play the small

225
00:09:56,720 --> 00:09:59,000
Speaker 2: side platoon. And then if they try to mess around

226
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:00,599
Speaker 2: and if they just say, well you want lords to

227
00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:02,720
Speaker 2: come out of the you know, the outfield, and maybe

228
00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:04,959
Speaker 2: DH maybe that takes a few at bats, but it

229
00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:06,920
Speaker 2: does seem like they're pretty committed to it. And he's

230
00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:09,800
Speaker 2: had a good spring as well. He's hitting two seventy three,

231
00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:13,200
Speaker 2: He's got a couple homers, walks and strikeouts are there.

232
00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:15,120
Speaker 2: It's just a very solid spring that I think they

233
00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:16,160
Speaker 2: feel comfortable with it.

234
00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:17,840
Speaker 3: He is three.

235
00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:21,360
Speaker 2: Ninety nine, and if he does what Jock Peterson did

236
00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:25,280
Speaker 2: last season, we're I mean, we're talking about more than

237
00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:27,120
Speaker 2: doubling his fantasy values.

238
00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:29,760
Speaker 3: So he is my deep sleeper at first base this year.

239
00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:32,200
Speaker 1: Let's continue on the diamond second base. Welsh, who do

240
00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:33,199
Speaker 1: you have all.

241
00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:34,679
Speaker 3: Right over at second base?

242
00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:37,240
Speaker 2: Scrolling back to it, I was actually shocked that you

243
00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:40,360
Speaker 2: didn't pick this guy. I am going with Thiro Estrada,

244
00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:44,400
Speaker 2: thiro Strada with the Colorado Rockies. I'm glad that you

245
00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:46,960
Speaker 2: left him for me, because you know, picking like deeper

246
00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:48,200
Speaker 2: names are not quite there.

247
00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:49,800
Speaker 3: Obviously, speaking of guy's right.

248
00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:51,400
Speaker 1: You want to get out of San Francisco and see

249
00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:53,800
Speaker 1: what they could do in a place like Colorado. I

250
00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:56,160
Speaker 1: mean that's pretty fun. Wasn't stampfl wasn't this one of

251
00:10:56,160 --> 00:10:58,120
Speaker 1: his guys? On the U. I want to say, what's

252
00:10:58,160 --> 00:10:59,040
Speaker 1: in Fantasy Fest? Right?

253
00:10:59,120 --> 00:10:59,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly.

254
00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:03,360
Speaker 1: He was in my mix. I felt like, well, Frank

255
00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:04,880
Speaker 1: talked about him. I don't want to talk about I'm

256
00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:07,160
Speaker 1: glad you talked about him because I was gonna pick him.

257
00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:09,480
Speaker 1: But in case you missed it, any of the Fantasy Fest,

258
00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:11,080
Speaker 1: you can go back and watch it on the YouTube channel.

259
00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:12,920
Speaker 1: We've got all the channel up there now, the playlist

260
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:15,280
Speaker 1: rather yeah, so that's all available so you can get

261
00:11:15,559 --> 00:11:17,640
Speaker 1: if you haven't done any research, you haven't done any work,

262
00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:20,360
Speaker 1: you can go watch that for two hours, three hours

263
00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:22,480
Speaker 1: and just get like ready to go for all of

264
00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:24,480
Speaker 1: your drafts. Got a great group of guests on there.

265
00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:26,679
Speaker 1: But well, let's get back to estrata, because I know

266
00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:28,640
Speaker 1: what Frank was talking about was, Hey, this was a

267
00:11:28,640 --> 00:11:31,520
Speaker 1: guy who was really consistent last year, was very injured.

268
00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:33,839
Speaker 1: Now he finds himself in Colorado and all of a

269
00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:36,680
Speaker 1: sudden with a lot more upside and zero cost.

270
00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:39,719
Speaker 2: Well, you talk about previous consistency, so let's throw out

271
00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:42,480
Speaker 2: twenty twenty four, which it's a little bit revisionist, but whatever,

272
00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:45,280
Speaker 2: he was injured the previous two seasons he had hit

273
00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:48,000
Speaker 2: fourteen homers. In each of those seasons and stolen more

274
00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:51,280
Speaker 2: than twenty bases in both of those seasons. Now go

275
00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:54,480
Speaker 2: put him in the friendliest hitting ballpark in all of baseball.

276
00:11:54,559 --> 00:11:58,880
Speaker 2: That's a really good sign. This spring also really great.

277
00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:03,280
Speaker 2: He's hitting four hundred so far this spring. Solid the

278
00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:05,480
Speaker 2: stolen base He's got a couple stolen bases in there,

279
00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:08,400
Speaker 2: and based on that lineup, yeah, he could hit lower

280
00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:10,959
Speaker 2: in it, but there's opportunities where they could pop him

281
00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:12,720
Speaker 2: up higher. I think he's gonna be aggressive on the

282
00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:16,200
Speaker 2: base paths. He's got an opportunity to be in that lineup,

283
00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:20,480
Speaker 2: and if I can get even ten twenty, or if

284
00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:22,040
Speaker 2: he plays out how he used to be, you could

285
00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:25,160
Speaker 2: be looking at fifteen twenty five at an ADP that

286
00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:29,319
Speaker 2: is outside the top three hundred. He's the thirty second

287
00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:35,480
Speaker 2: second baseman. It is outside three nineteen. So far, he's free,

288
00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:37,720
Speaker 2: and I think he's a great, great bet. We're not

289
00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:40,319
Speaker 2: really chasing stolen bases quite like we used to before,

290
00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:43,200
Speaker 2: but second base can get a little eh, it can

291
00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:45,160
Speaker 2: get a little bit questionable when you get deeper. This

292
00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:48,840
Speaker 2: is a guy with a full opportunity power potential could

293
00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:51,280
Speaker 2: come up in Colorado and there's no reason they're not

294
00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:53,360
Speaker 2: going to steal. You saw Brenton Doyle do it. I

295
00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:55,240
Speaker 2: think you'll see thyro Astrata do it as well.

296
00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:57,679
Speaker 1: My second basement is actually not gonna be playing much

297
00:12:57,679 --> 00:12:59,480
Speaker 1: second base this year. He's moving to first base for

298
00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:02,920
Speaker 1: the Detroit Tigers, and he's being drafted currently very late

299
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:05,760
Speaker 1: at two thirty nine overall the twenty third second baseman

300
00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:07,920
Speaker 1: going off the board Cold Keith. So he's moving to

301
00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:11,040
Speaker 1: first base, knocking Spencer Toorkles and out of that shot

302
00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:14,720
Speaker 1: and into now the DH spot. And I just want

303
00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:18,240
Speaker 1: to say, you know, the Tigers over the years have

304
00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:20,240
Speaker 1: invested a lot of time, energy and money in Spencer

305
00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:23,760
Speaker 1: Toarkles in so if Cold Keith is bouncing him from

306
00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:26,240
Speaker 1: his everyday position, they guess what y'all should be paying

307
00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:26,840
Speaker 1: attention to this.

308
00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:29,199
Speaker 2: I'm shocked at Charcolson, by the way, has not been

309
00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:32,080
Speaker 2: traded to because they're talking about lah Henry mLOY playing's

310
00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:35,040
Speaker 2: backup at first like he's done, he's cook cooked.

311
00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:38,640
Speaker 1: Well, we shall see. But right now, Cold Keith's slayd

312
00:13:38,640 --> 00:13:41,240
Speaker 1: to hit fifth right now in that Tiger's lineup, which

313
00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:43,920
Speaker 1: is actually pretty decent because he's going to have this

314
00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:47,080
Speaker 1: Riley Green, Glaber, Torres, Kerry Carpenter mix ahead of him.

315
00:13:47,280 --> 00:13:49,200
Speaker 1: Lineup placements really good for him. Again, I'm a big

316
00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:52,240
Speaker 1: guy about lineup placement when it comes to productivity in fantasy.

317
00:13:52,280 --> 00:13:54,839
Speaker 1: I think it's something that is under discussed a little bit.

318
00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:57,640
Speaker 1: And Cold Keith is out an accid. He's sitting three

319
00:13:57,720 --> 00:14:00,559
Speaker 1: hundred this spring. If you go back minor league record here,

320
00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:03,960
Speaker 1: three hundred hitter in two hundred and thirty nine games

321
00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:06,680
Speaker 1: of the minor leagues, A three eighty two OVP, A

322
00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:09,920
Speaker 1: five twelve slugging. That, my friends, is elite. We're talking

323
00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:12,200
Speaker 1: almost a nine hundred ops right there for Cold Keith.

324
00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:14,320
Speaker 1: So this guy can hit. He is still very young.

325
00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:16,400
Speaker 1: There's still maybe more of a plateau with the power.

326
00:14:16,640 --> 00:14:19,120
Speaker 1: He's got some pop in that bat too. So at

327
00:14:19,160 --> 00:14:21,560
Speaker 1: twenty two, soon to be twenty three years old, Cold

328
00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:23,120
Speaker 1: Keith to me makes a lot of sense as a

329
00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:26,000
Speaker 1: sleeper this year. And he gives you a little position flexibility,

330
00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:28,440
Speaker 1: right you know, little first base, little second base injuries

331
00:14:28,440 --> 00:14:31,000
Speaker 1: are gonna happen, So I love him as a second baseman,

332
00:14:31,080 --> 00:14:33,480
Speaker 1: as your middle infield kind of situation there as you're

333
00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:36,480
Speaker 1: looking in those formats, but look, just as a bench bat,

334
00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:40,520
Speaker 1: even very valuable potential player, you could util you can first. Second,

335
00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:43,240
Speaker 1: we'll see how the season goes for him. Next on

336
00:14:43,280 --> 00:14:46,200
Speaker 1: my list at third base, Luis Ranguifo of the Los

337
00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:49,400
Speaker 1: Angeles Angels of Anaheim. Now Ranguifo all of a sudden

338
00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:52,040
Speaker 1: is getting some good medicals, and that's what we want here.

339
00:14:52,120 --> 00:14:54,680
Speaker 1: That's the I think most important thing is the health

340
00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:57,080
Speaker 1: because we all know if you're not healthy, well you

341
00:14:57,160 --> 00:15:00,240
Speaker 1: got nothing. So that is what we're striving for here.

342
00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:02,160
Speaker 1: And this is a guy who also qualifies in some

343
00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:05,360
Speaker 1: leagues at multiple positions, qualifies the second, qualifies at third.

344
00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:07,360
Speaker 1: He was dealing with the hamstring issue, but he's going

345
00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:10,240
Speaker 1: to be on track for opening day. Last year, in

346
00:15:10,360 --> 00:15:13,360
Speaker 1: seventy eight games, he stole twenty four bases, did it

347
00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:15,760
Speaker 1: six home runs? If he can give you, let's say,

348
00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:19,400
Speaker 1: thirty five steals and a dozen home runs this year,

349
00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:22,200
Speaker 1: and I'm not trying to extrapol eight even ten home runs,

350
00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:24,440
Speaker 1: that would be great. But he also at three hundred,

351
00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:26,840
Speaker 1: find me guys with batting average with a little bit

352
00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:30,040
Speaker 1: of pop and thirty steel upside, and I'm very happy.

353
00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:31,640
Speaker 1: I think he is a great guy to slide in.

354
00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:33,560
Speaker 1: And it's funny we wash because I'm starting to come

355
00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:35,520
Speaker 1: around to some of these cheaper guys on the Angels,

356
00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:40,760
Speaker 1: like Netto, like Rangifo late in drafts because they're productive hitters.

357
00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:43,240
Speaker 1: The Angels are going to score some runs this year.

358
00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:44,640
Speaker 1: Even though we don't like the Angels to win a

359
00:15:44,680 --> 00:15:47,400
Speaker 1: ton of games, it doesn't mean they're not useful in fantasy,

360
00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:50,400
Speaker 1: and they are dirt cheap at third base. Who made

361
00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:51,880
Speaker 1: your all sleeper team, Welsh?

362
00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:53,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, I like Luis string Guifa. I think that's a

363
00:15:53,720 --> 00:15:54,320
Speaker 3: really good pick.

364
00:15:54,360 --> 00:15:56,040
Speaker 2: We just wanted him to be healthy and get out

365
00:15:56,080 --> 00:15:59,560
Speaker 2: there and frankly, you know now that you just sparked

366
00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:01,480
Speaker 2: it for me sleeper that I'll just throw out there

367
00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:04,880
Speaker 2: for people. Is a guy that could push Luise Ringifo

368
00:16:04,920 --> 00:16:07,000
Speaker 2: off a third base, so he's playing other spots. Could

369
00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:09,600
Speaker 2: be Christian Moore. If Christian Moore breaks, sure, he's just

370
00:16:09,640 --> 00:16:10,400
Speaker 2: kind of free at this.

371
00:16:10,560 --> 00:16:12,760
Speaker 1: Christian Moore and Cam Smith, those are the two guys

372
00:16:12,760 --> 00:16:15,840
Speaker 1: at the hot corner too, especially that if they want

373
00:16:15,920 --> 00:16:18,000
Speaker 1: Cam Smith to start taking some balls in the outfield.

374
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:20,320
Speaker 1: But he qualifies at the third base, like you know,

375
00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:23,600
Speaker 1: those guys are going to enter this season at some

376
00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:26,200
Speaker 1: point and maybe than you think to.

377
00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:29,560
Speaker 2: Be frank like cam Smith belongs to Joe and Christian

378
00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:31,760
Speaker 2: Moore to me like that, like of what we've told

379
00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:34,400
Speaker 2: her about those actually would have been really good sleepers

380
00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:34,920
Speaker 2: to have here.

381
00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:36,520
Speaker 1: So just well we mentioned that on the show, so

382
00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:39,160
Speaker 1: officially they are like the alternate third baseman, but I

383
00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:41,200
Speaker 1: wanted to give somebody that, you know, I think it

384
00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:43,520
Speaker 1: was a little more practical. But if you're shooting the

385
00:16:43,520 --> 00:16:46,560
Speaker 1: moon here and you're in deeper leagues or those drafted holes, whatever,

386
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:48,600
Speaker 1: and you got to be rostering these guys.

387
00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:51,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, and the guy that I'm picking with the Brewers

388
00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:54,400
Speaker 2: is Joey Ortiz. Joey Ortiz also probably not going to

389
00:16:54,400 --> 00:16:56,120
Speaker 2: be playing third base, though they're talking about all these

390
00:16:56,120 --> 00:17:00,000
Speaker 2: different like combinations of maybe Orties a short, maybe ad second,

391
00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:02,040
Speaker 2: they can move around, but he's a third baseman from

392
00:17:02,120 --> 00:17:04,920
Speaker 2: last season. And Joy Artiz is my pick has had

393
00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:09,160
Speaker 2: again not to like pick necessarily on springs and focus

394
00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:10,879
Speaker 2: on springs, but we're also not looking at players that

395
00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:11,520
Speaker 2: came out of nowhere.

396
00:17:11,600 --> 00:17:11,919
Speaker 3: Last year.

397
00:17:11,920 --> 00:17:14,639
Speaker 2: He had eleven homers, eleven stolen bases and kind of

398
00:17:14,640 --> 00:17:18,040
Speaker 2: really spattered playing time. He was really bad at the

399
00:17:18,080 --> 00:17:20,560
Speaker 2: back half of the season or the what was it,

400
00:17:20,840 --> 00:17:23,760
Speaker 2: July and August, we're rough, hitting under two hundred, but

401
00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:25,320
Speaker 2: then he picked it back up and hit like two

402
00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:28,520
Speaker 2: sixty or two fifty in September. He's having a great spring,

403
00:17:28,600 --> 00:17:31,639
Speaker 2: hitting three forty five tons of extra base hits. He

404
00:17:31,680 --> 00:17:34,800
Speaker 2: has ten hits in spring. Six of those are extra bases,

405
00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:38,280
Speaker 2: two doubles, two triples, two homers. He's also been aggressive

406
00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:41,359
Speaker 2: on the bass paths. He's stolen three so far, and

407
00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:44,359
Speaker 2: the walk to strikeout ratios right there. He's really showing

408
00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:47,240
Speaker 2: off just a little bit more power, great plate discipline, and.

409
00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:50,200
Speaker 3: He will be playing all this season. And that's like the.

410
00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:53,600
Speaker 2: Really big key not to do it all the time

411
00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:55,480
Speaker 2: where it's like twenty twenty, twenty twenty, but it's like,

412
00:17:55,560 --> 00:17:57,680
Speaker 2: I don't think it's out of the realm of possibility

413
00:17:57,720 --> 00:17:59,840
Speaker 2: that it goes one way or the other. Maybe he's

414
00:17:59,880 --> 00:18:03,640
Speaker 2: a seventeen homer, fifteen stolen base guy. He could move

415
00:18:03,760 --> 00:18:06,640
Speaker 2: up and down the lineup. He's got position flexibility which

416
00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:10,359
Speaker 2: he might add into this season. Listen, third base also

417
00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:13,160
Speaker 2: gets pretty gross. As you start to move down you're

418
00:18:13,160 --> 00:18:15,520
Speaker 2: looking for like a corner infielder who's also gonna have

419
00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:18,520
Speaker 2: multiple spots. Joey Ortiz, I think is a sneaky guy

420
00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:20,840
Speaker 2: who could put in I really think the power could

421
00:18:20,880 --> 00:18:22,919
Speaker 2: be the sneaky thing. The more that if you asked me,

422
00:18:23,040 --> 00:18:25,200
Speaker 2: is he gonna steal more hit more homers? I wouldn't

423
00:18:25,240 --> 00:18:27,960
Speaker 2: be shocked if he's a twenty fifteen guy this season.

424
00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:30,159
Speaker 2: If you have a couple of big power months and

425
00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:32,720
Speaker 2: he's putting in some RBIs so. Joey Ortiz is my

426
00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:33,880
Speaker 2: sleeper third baseman.

427
00:18:34,240 --> 00:18:36,440
Speaker 1: I picked him up my home league last year, and

428
00:18:36,680 --> 00:18:39,200
Speaker 1: he was very useful for me. You know, he had

429
00:18:39,240 --> 00:18:42,879
Speaker 1: some moments for sure, and I was waiting for Junior

430
00:18:42,880 --> 00:18:46,120
Speaker 1: Cavanaro most of the season last year, so I needed

431
00:18:46,119 --> 00:18:48,879
Speaker 1: to fill some holes at the third base spot. Moving

432
00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:52,080
Speaker 1: on to the shortstop position, Well, should you have over

433
00:18:52,119 --> 00:18:54,280
Speaker 1: there that you think could be of value?

434
00:18:54,680 --> 00:18:57,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, again, like I could play around and try to

435
00:18:57,080 --> 00:18:59,400
Speaker 2: like create some as you get later, but this guy

436
00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:01,359
Speaker 2: just keeps pop up and out. And I guess apologies

437
00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:03,000
Speaker 2: because we've talked about him in a lot of spots.

438
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:04,840
Speaker 2: There's a little bit of an injury thing which maybe

439
00:19:04,880 --> 00:19:07,400
Speaker 2: took a little bit of the flavor off the top

440
00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:10,520
Speaker 2: of everybody getting excited. But I'm going with Trevor story

441
00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:13,240
Speaker 2: at two fifty nine, So we're post two point fifty

442
00:19:13,520 --> 00:19:17,359
Speaker 2: with Trevor's story. The injuries are still in our face,

443
00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:20,000
Speaker 2: and him having that little scare the other day kind

444
00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:23,880
Speaker 2: of I think re reminds everybody like, hey, at any time,

445
00:19:23,920 --> 00:19:27,080
Speaker 2: this can go away. But the thing to also remember

446
00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:32,479
Speaker 2: is the huge offensive potential upside. Again, looking at spring

447
00:19:32,560 --> 00:19:34,480
Speaker 2: so far, because he's missed so much time. As of

448
00:19:34,520 --> 00:19:37,960
Speaker 2: recent he's hitting over four hundred. We're seeing homers get

449
00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:40,560
Speaker 2: out of the ballpark and they've already told us. Alex

450
00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:43,000
Speaker 2: Corus said that he's going to hit inside the top

451
00:19:43,119 --> 00:19:46,159
Speaker 2: five of that lineup. So again you've got Jaron Duran,

452
00:19:46,359 --> 00:19:51,359
Speaker 2: Rafael Devers, Tristan Cassis, and Alex Bregman all hitting in

453
00:19:51,359 --> 00:19:53,399
Speaker 2: that spot and he's going to be hitting at five

454
00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:57,719
Speaker 2: most likely huge RBI opportunity. We'll see if the stolen

455
00:19:57,720 --> 00:20:00,159
Speaker 2: bases come back a little bit. But as far as

456
00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:03,840
Speaker 2: the offensive potential, there is real five categories that are

457
00:20:03,840 --> 00:20:06,160
Speaker 2: in play. The homers are still there, he can still

458
00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:09,240
Speaker 2: run some RBI in runs. This team is gonna score

459
00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:11,919
Speaker 2: a bunch and if that batting average gets back. He

460
00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:14,760
Speaker 2: hit two fifty five and very little last year, but

461
00:20:15,040 --> 00:20:16,080
Speaker 2: prior to that he had hit.

462
00:20:16,040 --> 00:20:16,680
Speaker 3: Under two forty.

463
00:20:16,680 --> 00:20:18,720
Speaker 2: If he's a two sixty guy this season with all

464
00:20:18,800 --> 00:20:22,080
Speaker 2: that offensive protection, two fifty is gonna look silly, but

465
00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:24,680
Speaker 2: it's built in like that way because he has missed

466
00:20:24,680 --> 00:20:26,760
Speaker 2: so much time. The injuries are still out there and

467
00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:29,000
Speaker 2: the average is kind of sunk. But he is a

468
00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:32,160
Speaker 2: real twenty twenty potential guy and not just a ton

469
00:20:32,240 --> 00:20:35,240
Speaker 2: of those that like, we can really pretend and be

470
00:20:35,320 --> 00:20:36,720
Speaker 2: like if this worked out and this worked out and

471
00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:38,680
Speaker 2: blah blah blah, they could get this way. Trevor Story

472
00:20:38,720 --> 00:20:40,080
Speaker 2: is like, he just needs to play games. If he

473
00:20:40,119 --> 00:20:42,240
Speaker 2: plays games, he's gonna be close to a twenty twenty guy.

474
00:20:42,240 --> 00:20:45,359
Speaker 2: And that's reality. So post two to fifty, Trevor Story

475
00:20:45,440 --> 00:20:46,200
Speaker 2: is my sleeper pick.

476
00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:48,240
Speaker 1: All right for me? At short stop, we're going back

477
00:20:48,240 --> 00:20:51,879
Speaker 1: to San Francisco, let's go with Tyler Fitzgerald. Now, Fitzgerald

478
00:20:51,960 --> 00:20:55,200
Speaker 1: last season pretty good work. Hit two eighty seventeen steels,

479
00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:59,120
Speaker 1: fifteen homers, played ninety six games. In terms of where

480
00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:01,960
Speaker 1: he hits in the lineup a little trickier, he does

481
00:21:02,280 --> 00:21:06,159
Speaker 1: qualify at second base as well. But we're in a

482
00:21:06,200 --> 00:21:10,159
Speaker 1: spot where you're looking at the future here, right, So

483
00:21:11,119 --> 00:21:13,879
Speaker 1: with Jung Huli, who is going for an MRI on

484
00:21:13,920 --> 00:21:17,280
Speaker 1: the back now, who knows, maybe Fitzgerald ends up playing

485
00:21:17,280 --> 00:21:19,920
Speaker 1: some outfield. Maybe they starts shuffling some guys around too again,

486
00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:22,239
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, maybe Fitzgerald finds himself not

487
00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:24,359
Speaker 1: hitting out of the nine hole, but somewhere else. And

488
00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:26,680
Speaker 1: I think that would be very intriguing for me. Another

489
00:21:26,760 --> 00:21:29,720
Speaker 1: player with a good track record in the minor leagues.

490
00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:32,600
Speaker 1: That's very important to me. Eight twenty three ops, two

491
00:21:32,680 --> 00:21:35,280
Speaker 1: sixty five hitter. He's a guy that definitely has some speed,

492
00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:36,520
Speaker 1: so we can help you out late. And I think

493
00:21:36,520 --> 00:21:38,280
Speaker 1: when you're trying to make up some ground with someone

494
00:21:38,320 --> 00:21:40,879
Speaker 1: bases later on, because now you really do have to

495
00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:43,000
Speaker 1: load up. You know, you can't just have that one

496
00:21:43,040 --> 00:21:46,040
Speaker 1: guy and be good at steals now because everybody's stealing bases.

497
00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:48,680
Speaker 1: With the rules changes, you got to continue to pile upon.

498
00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:50,640
Speaker 1: If you go back and watch the Ladies Mock Draft Show,

499
00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:53,440
Speaker 1: you'll see me just continuing to pile on steals, pile

500
00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:56,959
Speaker 1: on steals because I could, and guys like Fitzgerald are

501
00:21:56,960 --> 00:21:59,200
Speaker 1: going to go a long way for that, so I'm

502
00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:01,520
Speaker 1: really curious to see. I'm rooting for Jung Houley. He

503
00:22:01,600 --> 00:22:04,119
Speaker 1: was originally on this team that I put together, but

504
00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:07,720
Speaker 1: now the injury again has me concerned, so he's still

505
00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:10,119
Speaker 1: in that back burner for me, but Fitzgerald could be

506
00:22:10,119 --> 00:22:12,080
Speaker 1: a guy that benefits from that. Now we're gonna get

507
00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:15,000
Speaker 1: to the outfielders on our all sleeper team for twenty

508
00:22:15,080 --> 00:22:18,399
Speaker 1: twenty five. Before we do, I want to talk to

537
00:23:32,920 --> 00:23:35,960
Speaker 1: let's go to the outfield Welsh. Give me your three outfielders,

538
00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:39,200
Speaker 1: where they're being drafted and why they made your sleeper list.

539
00:23:39,359 --> 00:23:41,920
Speaker 2: All right, We've got two that are outside the two fifty,

540
00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:44,879
Speaker 2: and I got one outside the four hundred range. Number

541
00:23:44,920 --> 00:23:48,919
Speaker 2: one Jake McCarthy. The reason that you can wait on

542
00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:53,440
Speaker 2: stolen bases is there your stolen bases plentiful later in drafts.

543
00:23:53,720 --> 00:23:56,040
Speaker 2: Victor Revlis has been a very popular name I've talked about,

544
00:23:56,080 --> 00:23:59,040
Speaker 2: but he's inside the top two hundred now, but Jake

545
00:23:59,160 --> 00:24:02,640
Speaker 2: McCarthy McCarthy is not. He is at two forty seven,

546
00:24:02,680 --> 00:24:04,760
Speaker 2: so he's like right there at that two point fifty marker.

547
00:24:05,240 --> 00:24:09,200
Speaker 2: The thing I love about him too, no bad lefty splits.

548
00:24:09,200 --> 00:24:11,640
Speaker 2: He can hit Bert versus both. He's got really good

549
00:24:11,640 --> 00:24:15,240
Speaker 2: contact numbers. He's aggressive on the base paths. The thing

550
00:24:15,280 --> 00:24:17,840
Speaker 2: that could maybe halt out is you know what this

551
00:24:17,920 --> 00:24:19,680
Speaker 2: team wants to do with that. They just still have

552
00:24:19,720 --> 00:24:22,719
Speaker 2: a heavy outfield rotation. They didn't trade Alec Thomas, they

553
00:24:22,760 --> 00:24:24,560
Speaker 2: still got a lot of guys. But McCarthy has just

554
00:24:24,640 --> 00:24:26,239
Speaker 2: proven to be a guy that's going to be out

555
00:24:26,280 --> 00:24:28,679
Speaker 2: there all the time. And the stolen base is the

556
00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:31,000
Speaker 2: ten to thirty potential you can get out of him

557
00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:33,600
Speaker 2: with great, great defense, He's just not going to come

558
00:24:33,600 --> 00:24:36,359
Speaker 2: off the field a bunch so cheap stolen bases. I

559
00:24:36,440 --> 00:24:40,680
Speaker 2: love the prospects of getting Jake McCarthy number two. Garrett Mitchell,

560
00:24:40,720 --> 00:24:43,240
Speaker 2: who I've talked about a bunch. Garrett Mitchell comes in

561
00:24:43,600 --> 00:24:47,600
Speaker 2: at two sixty four on this he's the sixty ninth outfielder.

562
00:24:47,680 --> 00:24:50,080
Speaker 2: Jake McCarthy was the sixty second, so we're really down

563
00:24:50,119 --> 00:24:54,640
Speaker 2: there and Garrett Mitchell, this is a true twenty potential guy.

564
00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:57,840
Speaker 2: If you want to extrapolate last season, eight homers, eleven

565
00:24:57,920 --> 00:24:58,639
Speaker 2: stolen bases.

566
00:24:58,680 --> 00:24:59,840
Speaker 3: He hit two fifty.

567
00:24:59,560 --> 00:25:03,720
Speaker 2: Five just under two hundred at bats, So if you

568
00:25:03,760 --> 00:25:06,240
Speaker 2: were to extrapolate that, you're looking at twenty four homers

569
00:25:06,240 --> 00:25:09,440
Speaker 2: in over thirty stolen bases. So at twenty thirty season, obviously,

570
00:25:09,480 --> 00:25:11,680
Speaker 2: that's going to be hard to put together. He has

571
00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:14,560
Speaker 2: bad strikeout numbers, and I can be honest with these. Again,

572
00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:16,919
Speaker 2: he's having a great spring. You're seeing the power go,

573
00:25:17,240 --> 00:25:20,000
Speaker 2: you're seeing aggressive bass pass. He's out there, he's healthy,

574
00:25:20,200 --> 00:25:22,639
Speaker 2: but he's still striking out a bunch. So if that

575
00:25:22,720 --> 00:25:24,920
Speaker 2: had come down, I think we would be talking about

576
00:25:24,920 --> 00:25:26,000
Speaker 2: Sky's the limit.

577
00:25:25,760 --> 00:25:27,879
Speaker 3: Type of stuff. But it's still over thirty percent.

578
00:25:27,640 --> 00:25:30,600
Speaker 2: Strikeout rate, but he walks double digit percentage of the time,

579
00:25:31,080 --> 00:25:33,560
Speaker 2: good barrel numbers, and I think he's going to carry

580
00:25:33,600 --> 00:25:36,040
Speaker 2: that over into the season. If he can stay healthy,

581
00:25:36,359 --> 00:25:38,800
Speaker 2: you're gonna get stolen bases, You're gonna get power. He's

582
00:25:38,840 --> 00:25:41,359
Speaker 2: probably the best combination, and I think he is just

583
00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:45,480
Speaker 2: a free play. And then finally, my deep outfield play

584
00:25:45,520 --> 00:25:50,919
Speaker 2: here at outside four hundred, outside the top one hundred outfielders.

585
00:25:50,960 --> 00:25:55,719
Speaker 2: When you look over on Fantasy pros, Victor Scott the second,

586
00:25:55,760 --> 00:25:59,040
Speaker 2: My boy, Victor Scott. You're talking post hype sleeper. As

587
00:25:59,080 --> 00:26:01,960
Speaker 2: everybody he loved Victor Scott. Last year it was kind

588
00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:05,439
Speaker 2: of a big failure. And this season, taking it into spring,

589
00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:08,879
Speaker 2: he's hitting three seventy one. He's showing off his power,

590
00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:13,760
Speaker 2: thirteen hits, five extra base hits, two homers, triple couple doubles.

591
00:26:14,119 --> 00:26:18,920
Speaker 2: OBP is almost five hundred, and he's attempted seven stolen bases.

592
00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:23,080
Speaker 2: In forty two plate appearances, he's stolen five. Ali Marmarle

593
00:26:23,119 --> 00:26:27,200
Speaker 2: has talked about how awesome his transition into this offseason

594
00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:30,199
Speaker 2: has been. He was working on gaining muscle this past season.

595
00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:33,280
Speaker 2: He's trying to hit consistently, and the guys behind him,

596
00:26:33,600 --> 00:26:36,960
Speaker 2: like Mike Siani, stunk, so obviously the Cardinals could do

597
00:26:37,040 --> 00:26:39,680
Speaker 2: something weird. But Victor Scott looks like he is primed

598
00:26:39,680 --> 00:26:43,320
Speaker 2: to take that spot at in center field for the Cardinals. Now,

599
00:26:43,320 --> 00:26:44,960
Speaker 2: he might hit lower in the lineup, but he's one

600
00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:47,280
Speaker 2: of the most aggressive base stealers in all of baseball.

601
00:26:47,359 --> 00:26:50,000
Speaker 2: If he plays the whole season and he hits for average,

602
00:26:50,200 --> 00:26:52,160
Speaker 2: you're probably looking at a guy that's going to steal

603
00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:55,280
Speaker 2: forty to fifty bases, and I might be underselling him.

604
00:26:55,320 --> 00:26:57,199
Speaker 2: It's just all going to be about being consistent, and

605
00:26:57,200 --> 00:27:00,360
Speaker 2: he's showing that this spring. I love the prospects Victor

606
00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:02,639
Speaker 2: Scott again, another guy that you can get cheap stolen

607
00:27:02,680 --> 00:27:05,320
Speaker 2: bases from, and he looks primed to take that spot

608
00:27:05,480 --> 00:27:08,120
Speaker 2: unless the Cardinals ruin it. So again I am going

609
00:27:08,160 --> 00:27:11,399
Speaker 2: with Jake McCarthy, Garrett Mitchell, and Victor Scott as my

610
00:27:11,440 --> 00:27:12,719
Speaker 2: three sleeper outfielders.

611
00:27:13,040 --> 00:27:15,640
Speaker 1: Well, we asked me he had a overlap there because

612
00:27:15,840 --> 00:27:18,640
Speaker 1: I had Garrett Mitchell on my list too, so I

613
00:27:18,840 --> 00:27:21,000
Speaker 1: think he was also another guy that we talked about

614
00:27:21,320 --> 00:27:23,679
Speaker 1: on the Sleeper Show too, So you know, I'm not

615
00:27:23,720 --> 00:27:26,840
Speaker 1: going to reiterate. I'm with Welsh everything he said. All

616
00:27:26,880 --> 00:27:28,199
Speaker 1: the good reasonings there, and you can go back and

617
00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:29,920
Speaker 1: watch Fantasy Fest too, because I want to say, was

618
00:27:29,960 --> 00:27:32,560
Speaker 1: he on Towers list? He was on somebody else's no.

619
00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:34,520
Speaker 3: I Bubba really liked. Oh you know, it's funny about

620
00:27:34,520 --> 00:27:34,960
Speaker 3: this too.

621
00:27:35,280 --> 00:27:37,119
Speaker 2: I just want to point out we really tried to

622
00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:40,240
Speaker 2: not have the same guys. Now you I put the

623
00:27:40,280 --> 00:27:42,479
Speaker 2: next guy you're gonna say on my list and then went,

624
00:27:42,560 --> 00:27:44,680
Speaker 2: oh crap, you had it. I didn't even see Garrett Mitchell.

625
00:27:44,920 --> 00:27:47,840
Speaker 2: Garrett Mitchell's a crew play. The next guy in your

626
00:27:47,880 --> 00:27:49,560
Speaker 2: list is a crew play as well. I took him

627
00:27:49,600 --> 00:27:50,760
Speaker 2: off because you had him.

628
00:27:51,040 --> 00:27:53,000
Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, look, I got two other outfielders. One is

629
00:27:53,040 --> 00:27:55,879
Speaker 1: Matt Waalner at two sixty six, right around Garrett Mitchell,

630
00:27:55,920 --> 00:27:59,879
Speaker 1: and he's again platoon wise on the correct side of

631
00:27:59,920 --> 00:28:02,560
Speaker 1: that applatoon for more at bats, but at the same

632
00:28:02,600 --> 00:28:05,200
Speaker 1: time hitting leadoff here for the Twin teams. That's important.

633
00:28:05,760 --> 00:28:07,920
Speaker 1: It's a lot of runs score potentially. He does have

634
00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:11,480
Speaker 1: some power again, more of a bat that you're looking

635
00:28:11,560 --> 00:28:13,480
Speaker 1: later in the drafts is more of a util bat

636
00:28:13,520 --> 00:28:15,480
Speaker 1: because you want those outfielders to play every day like

637
00:28:15,520 --> 00:28:17,640
Speaker 1: Garrett Mitchell. I would take because I think he's gonna

638
00:28:17,640 --> 00:28:19,680
Speaker 1: be every day player as Wellner. I'm not exactly sure yet,

639
00:28:19,720 --> 00:28:22,960
Speaker 1: although as the Twins' injuries will continue to mount, because

640
00:28:22,960 --> 00:28:25,639
Speaker 1: that's what happens with the Minnesota Twins every single damn season.

641
00:28:26,640 --> 00:28:28,360
Speaker 1: Maybe there will be some more at bats for him.

642
00:28:28,359 --> 00:28:30,359
Speaker 1: Either way, it's a good scenario. And the third guy

643
00:28:30,400 --> 00:28:32,840
Speaker 1: in there is Alec Burlson, who is a guy that

644
00:28:33,560 --> 00:28:35,480
Speaker 1: last year off the waiver wire. I don't know how

645
00:28:35,520 --> 00:28:38,360
Speaker 1: many times we did waiver wire bits. I did waiver

646
00:28:38,400 --> 00:28:40,520
Speaker 1: wire videos and Perlson was in it, and people just

647
00:28:40,560 --> 00:28:43,040
Speaker 1: weren't picking them up. He ended last year playing one

648
00:28:43,120 --> 00:28:46,120
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty two games right twenty one homer, seventy

649
00:28:46,160 --> 00:28:49,240
Speaker 1: at RBI, scored seventy runs, had nine steals for good measure,

650
00:28:49,280 --> 00:28:51,840
Speaker 1: hit two sixty nine. This year, he's gonna primary DH,

651
00:28:51,920 --> 00:28:54,600
Speaker 1: but he's Dell. Qualifies at outfield, qualifies at first base,

652
00:28:54,640 --> 00:28:58,040
Speaker 1: so he qualifies everywhere. And again I think he is

653
00:28:58,120 --> 00:29:01,120
Speaker 1: just a very nice player to have. I likened him

654
00:29:01,160 --> 00:29:06,000
Speaker 1: last year statistically, not compwise physically, but statistically to Ben Zobrist.

655
00:29:06,240 --> 00:29:08,240
Speaker 1: Ben Zobrist every year was going to give you fifteen

656
00:29:08,280 --> 00:29:11,920
Speaker 1: home runs, seventy five to seventy five, maybe just fall

657
00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:14,520
Speaker 1: shy of ten stolen bases or somewhere in that range.

658
00:29:14,600 --> 00:29:16,800
Speaker 1: Hit about two sixty five to seventy five, maybe a

659
00:29:16,800 --> 00:29:18,640
Speaker 1: two to eighty on a good year. But he was

660
00:29:18,680 --> 00:29:21,880
Speaker 1: just gonna be there and be productive and probably qualify

661
00:29:21,920 --> 00:29:24,240
Speaker 1: at a bunch of different spots, little outfield, little infield.

662
00:29:24,600 --> 00:29:27,040
Speaker 1: Those guys are really useful, and Burlson could be one

663
00:29:27,040 --> 00:29:29,560
Speaker 1: of those guys. But the real trick here is figuring

664
00:29:29,560 --> 00:29:31,920
Speaker 1: out what the Cardinals plan is. And that brings us

665
00:29:31,960 --> 00:29:35,960
Speaker 1: to our Microsoft Chasing Challenges segment for today. And just

666
00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:38,720
Speaker 1: like the athletes to push boundaries and redefine what's possible

667
00:29:38,760 --> 00:29:42,480

Speaker 1: Microsoft empowers you with the expertise to say bring it on.

672
00:29:55,280 --> 00:29:57,000
Speaker 1: And today we're going to highlight the challenges of the

673
00:29:57,000 --> 00:29:58,920
Speaker 1: Saint Louis Cardinals because they've got a bit of an

674
00:29:58,920 --> 00:30:01,920
Speaker 1: identity crisis. They've been one of the most steady organizations

675
00:30:01,960 --> 00:30:05,200
Speaker 1: in baseball since well since I was certainly around. I

676
00:30:05,280 --> 00:30:07,760
Speaker 1: remember the Cardinals of the eighties being a team that

677
00:30:07,840 --> 00:30:11,760
Speaker 1: I absolutely hated. Why because they were incredibly annoying. All

678
00:30:11,800 --> 00:30:14,240
Speaker 1: they did was slap the ball, round steel bases, play

679
00:30:14,280 --> 00:30:17,000
Speaker 1: little ball, never hit home runs, and beat the crap

680
00:30:17,040 --> 00:30:19,000
Speaker 1: out of you. That's what they did. And then the

681
00:30:19,040 --> 00:30:22,920
Speaker 1: Cardinals evolved to the Albert Poohols years as well, where

682
00:30:22,960 --> 00:30:26,560
Speaker 1: they were perennially in the playoffs, the great Mark Maguire

683
00:30:26,640 --> 00:30:29,240
Speaker 1: years even before that. Right, this is a team that

684
00:30:29,320 --> 00:30:31,920
Speaker 1: has taken veterans in the past like Larry Walker and

685
00:30:31,960 --> 00:30:33,960
Speaker 1: Jim Edmonds and made them part of these teams that

686
00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:36,680
Speaker 1: went on playoff runs. And even recently it seemed like

687
00:30:36,720 --> 00:30:39,239
Speaker 1: they were doing the same thing Paul Goldschman, Nolan aronaut Or, Right,

688
00:30:39,280 --> 00:30:41,760
Speaker 1: the Cardinals were the best at saying, hey, we can

689
00:30:41,840 --> 00:30:44,800
Speaker 1: take your superstars and remake them and continue to build

690
00:30:44,800 --> 00:30:48,280
Speaker 1: from within. But last year, last year the wheels came

691
00:30:48,320 --> 00:30:50,640
Speaker 1: off the pitching staff meeting age I think was fifty

692
00:30:50,680 --> 00:30:53,280
Speaker 1: seven years old, and Sonny Gray, although great at the

693
00:30:53,320 --> 00:30:56,120
Speaker 1: top of this rotation, were waiting for Quinn Matthews to

694
00:30:56,120 --> 00:30:57,400
Speaker 1: show up. And I don't see a whole lot in

695
00:30:57,400 --> 00:31:00,400
Speaker 1: between to get excited about this lineup and used to

696
00:31:00,480 --> 00:31:02,120
Speaker 1: not have a lot of star power in it. There's

697
00:31:02,200 --> 00:31:05,280
Speaker 1: questions when Nolan Aeronauta was going to get traded, and

698
00:31:05,720 --> 00:31:07,600
Speaker 1: if he's going to get traded, and if he is

699
00:31:07,640 --> 00:31:10,800
Speaker 1: anything close to the player that he once was, we're

700
00:31:10,840 --> 00:31:12,880
Speaker 1: in a bad spot here in Saint Louis. The Cardinals

701
00:31:12,960 --> 00:31:15,560
Speaker 1: are looking at a losing season potentially coming up here again.

702
00:31:16,080 --> 00:31:18,920
Speaker 1: And that's not something Saint Louis is useful or use too,

703
00:31:19,040 --> 00:31:21,320
Speaker 1: I should say. And that's going to be a big

704
00:31:21,360 --> 00:31:23,880
Speaker 1: problem and a reset unless the Jordan Walkers of the

705
00:31:23,920 --> 00:31:26,120
Speaker 1: world and some other guys like Mason, Wynn and Herrera

706
00:31:26,200 --> 00:31:27,959
Speaker 1: and some of the guys Welsh was talking about as

707
00:31:27,960 --> 00:31:31,240
Speaker 1: well start to step forward. Cardinals might find themselves kind

708
00:31:31,240 --> 00:31:33,240
Speaker 1: of spit in their wheels in this division, but the

709
00:31:33,360 --> 00:31:35,360
Speaker 1: challenge is going to be how quickly they can dig

710
00:31:35,400 --> 00:31:38,440

716
00:31:56,000 --> 00:31:58,880
Speaker 1: All right, Welsh, let's get to the pitchers on our list.

717
00:31:58,920 --> 00:32:02,120
Speaker 1: Give me three starter and a reliever for a good

718
00:32:02,240 --> 00:32:04,760
Speaker 1: measure on our All Sleeper team for twenty twenty five.

719
00:32:05,320 --> 00:32:09,200
Speaker 2: All right, starting with Walker Buehler, who has got a

720
00:32:09,240 --> 00:32:13,600
Speaker 2: two twenty six rank here SP sixty nine on the list,

721
00:32:13,760 --> 00:32:17,600
Speaker 2: way down there. Obviously, last season in the regular season

722
00:32:17,800 --> 00:32:20,560
Speaker 2: with what he got over five ERA did not look

723
00:32:20,600 --> 00:32:24,360
Speaker 2: good in seventy five innings. He definitely bounced back during

724
00:32:24,400 --> 00:32:26,000
Speaker 2: the playoffs, which I think is a big key. And

725
00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:28,600
Speaker 2: then if you take the innings he had last year

726
00:32:28,720 --> 00:32:31,959
Speaker 2: with the playoff innings, I think it really pushes him

727
00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:33,560
Speaker 2: in a really good direction to be able to get

728
00:32:33,600 --> 00:32:35,560
Speaker 2: significant innings this year on a Red Sox team that

729
00:32:35,560 --> 00:32:37,200
Speaker 2: I think is gonna win a lot, and I think

730
00:32:37,280 --> 00:32:39,560
Speaker 2: Walker Buehler, as much as I'm in on Garrett Crochet,

731
00:32:39,640 --> 00:32:41,160
Speaker 2: Walker Buehler is going to be a piece of that.

732
00:32:41,440 --> 00:32:43,880
Speaker 2: He's had a couple starts in spring. He's looked good.

733
00:32:44,520 --> 00:32:47,160
Speaker 2: Two starts, five innings, he struck out seven, he's only

734
00:32:47,240 --> 00:32:50,360
Speaker 2: walked one. He's given up four hits and one earned run.

735
00:32:50,520 --> 00:32:53,360
Speaker 2: The stuff is there, the fastballs back. I just think

736
00:32:53,600 --> 00:32:57,240
Speaker 2: it's a really like I am hyper focused on Garrett

737
00:32:57,280 --> 00:33:00,760
Speaker 2: Crochet clearly, but like he's a really good bet and

738
00:33:00,800 --> 00:33:02,760
Speaker 2: he's a really good bet for a source of wins

739
00:33:02,800 --> 00:33:05,600
Speaker 2: as well and a lot of run support, and I

740
00:33:05,600 --> 00:33:08,280
Speaker 2: think outside the top two hundred we're still sleeping on him.

741
00:33:08,320 --> 00:33:13,400
Speaker 2: Number two Tom Tomo, Yuki Sugano with the Baltimore Orioles.

742
00:33:13,440 --> 00:33:16,800
Speaker 1: Easy for me to say, I've been doing really good.

743
00:33:16,880 --> 00:33:21,200
Speaker 2: We got we got Sigano. There, Sigano. It's been pretty simple.

744
00:33:21,240 --> 00:33:23,680
Speaker 2: He's just been striking everybody out in spring. He really

745
00:33:23,680 --> 00:33:26,920
Speaker 2: hasn't been hit. He's an older pitcher, I believe thirty

746
00:33:26,960 --> 00:33:30,080
Speaker 2: five years old. The league is not caught up to him.

747
00:33:30,120 --> 00:33:33,880
Speaker 2: These guys usually, especially coming over coming over from like

748
00:33:33,960 --> 00:33:37,440
Speaker 2: Japan and whatnot, you'll see these guys have some early success.

749
00:33:37,120 --> 00:33:38,200
Speaker 3: Until the league catches up.

750
00:33:38,240 --> 00:33:40,640
Speaker 2: But I'm kind of optimistic with where the strikeout numbers

751
00:33:40,680 --> 00:33:42,560
Speaker 2: are and how he's hiding the ball that you know

752
00:33:42,800 --> 00:33:45,200
Speaker 2: we might get a season long run. Looks like they're

753
00:33:45,200 --> 00:33:47,840
Speaker 2: going to push innings. They need him because Grayson's out.

754
00:33:48,120 --> 00:33:52,320
Speaker 2: So Sigano, with a rank out almost outside the three

755
00:33:52,400 --> 00:33:56,040
Speaker 2: hundreds at two ninety seven SP eighty eight is my

756
00:33:56,160 --> 00:33:58,440
Speaker 2: number two starting pitcher, and number three is with the

757
00:33:58,440 --> 00:34:02,560
Speaker 2: Atlanta Braids, Grant Home, who is three h seven pitcher

758
00:34:02,720 --> 00:34:06,360
Speaker 2: ninety three is being converted into a starting pitcher and

759
00:34:06,640 --> 00:34:09,040
Speaker 2: from a relief pitcher. And the thing that's working really

760
00:34:09,040 --> 00:34:11,760
Speaker 2: well is he's upticked his change up and his changeup

761
00:34:11,760 --> 00:34:15,040
Speaker 2: has put up some really great different stuff. Plus metrics

762
00:34:15,200 --> 00:34:18,719
Speaker 2: have graded out that that change up to be really high.

763
00:34:18,719 --> 00:34:20,319
Speaker 2: And it was like a pitchy through one percent of

764
00:34:20,360 --> 00:34:22,160
Speaker 2: the time last year. So far in spring it looks

765
00:34:22,200 --> 00:34:24,719
Speaker 2: like it's around like eight percent. And what's so great

766
00:34:24,760 --> 00:34:27,319
Speaker 2: about that is with his slider and curveball, those had

767
00:34:27,400 --> 00:34:30,320
Speaker 2: forty percent with rates last season. Now you throw a

768
00:34:30,400 --> 00:34:32,359
Speaker 2: change up there that's going to get high WIF rates.

769
00:34:32,680 --> 00:34:36,200
Speaker 2: His fastball sitting ninety four ninety five, he's got three

770
00:34:36,280 --> 00:34:39,400
Speaker 2: punch out pitches. He's walking a little bit, but he

771
00:34:39,560 --> 00:34:42,160
Speaker 2: is free right now and he might stack some wins

772
00:34:42,160 --> 00:34:44,520
Speaker 2: with Atlanta, and we might see some strikeouts pile up

773
00:34:44,560 --> 00:34:46,440
Speaker 2: as well. So I'm going to go with a deep

774
00:34:46,600 --> 00:34:50,440
Speaker 2: play in Grant Homes and then finally my relief pitcher.

775
00:34:50,840 --> 00:34:52,719
Speaker 2: We're going deep here for a guy that does not

776
00:34:52,800 --> 00:34:55,520
Speaker 2: have a solidified closer role, but I truly think he can.

777
00:34:55,840 --> 00:34:59,239
Speaker 2: It is aj Puck at two seventy four on the

778
00:34:59,280 --> 00:35:02,080
Speaker 2: overall thirty two as far as relief pitchers go, and

779
00:35:02,080 --> 00:35:05,279
Speaker 2: I've just been pretty steadfast, regardless of seeing Justin Martinez

780
00:35:05,320 --> 00:35:08,120
Speaker 2: throw n you know, one hundred and three or whatever

781
00:35:08,160 --> 00:35:10,239
Speaker 2: in every single game. At the end of the day,

782
00:35:10,400 --> 00:35:13,160
Speaker 2: AJ Puck has been phenomenal this spring, and I think

783
00:35:13,160 --> 00:35:15,040
Speaker 2: he's going to be their fireman. So there will be

784
00:35:15,080 --> 00:35:17,080
Speaker 2: some times where he's not gonna get some saves. They

785
00:35:17,200 --> 00:35:19,640
Speaker 2: might even just list out Justin Martinez as the guy,

786
00:35:19,680 --> 00:35:22,320
Speaker 2: but he can get a little erratic. I think AJ

787
00:35:22,440 --> 00:35:24,440
Speaker 2: Puck is going to walk out of this team being

788
00:35:24,480 --> 00:35:27,000
Speaker 2: the leader in saves. I would not be shocked to

789
00:35:27,000 --> 00:35:29,600
Speaker 2: see over twenty. I'm not putting my expectations in that

790
00:35:29,680 --> 00:35:32,000
Speaker 2: he's gonna lead the league, but he's going after all

791
00:35:32,040 --> 00:35:34,360
Speaker 2: of the big guys. He's towards the end of your draft,

792
00:35:34,400 --> 00:35:36,480
Speaker 2: and if you've already gotten two established closers, I think

793
00:35:36,520 --> 00:35:38,439
Speaker 2: AJ Puck is a great bet on a guy that's

794
00:35:38,480 --> 00:35:41,440
Speaker 2: either a gonna take the job or b be a

795
00:35:41,440 --> 00:35:43,480
Speaker 2: guy that's gonna get a decent amount of saves and

796
00:35:43,560 --> 00:35:46,360
Speaker 2: really help your ratios with big strikeouts. So AJ Puck

797
00:35:46,719 --> 00:35:50,000
Speaker 2: is my reliever and my starters again. Walker Buehler, Tomo

798
00:35:50,080 --> 00:35:52,320
Speaker 2: Yuki Sagano and Grant Holmes.

799
00:35:53,480 --> 00:35:56,279
Speaker 1: By the way, just a reminder, Grant Holmes qualifies at

800
00:35:56,360 --> 00:35:57,960
Speaker 1: RP in a lot of spots too, So if you're

801
00:35:58,000 --> 00:36:01,719
Speaker 1: trying to game the system, Larbit, don't forget for those

802
00:36:01,719 --> 00:36:05,919
Speaker 1: mandatory RP leagues. You could also play Holmes. There. Nick

803
00:36:05,960 --> 00:36:09,160
Speaker 1: Pollock on our Pitching Guide Ultimate Pitching Guide number two

804
00:36:09,600 --> 00:36:11,520
Speaker 1: that we did, he went on a nice little die

805
00:36:11,600 --> 00:36:14,080
Speaker 1: tribe about Grant Holmes two and he really liked him.

806
00:36:14,120 --> 00:36:15,759
Speaker 1: So you can check out what Nick said on the

807
00:36:15,800 --> 00:36:17,840
Speaker 1: show here again, so on the YouTube channel, you can

808
00:36:17,880 --> 00:36:20,160
Speaker 1: go find it there, just click on the videos. I

809
00:36:20,200 --> 00:36:21,840
Speaker 1: love the Puck one too, because I'm with you one

810
00:36:21,920 --> 00:36:23,960
Speaker 1: hundred percent. He's another one of my favorite lake closers,

811
00:36:24,000 --> 00:36:26,600
Speaker 1: you know me. Joey p loves the lake closer give

812
00:36:26,600 --> 00:36:29,399
Speaker 1: me the light class. Oh and Walker Buller's another one too.

813
00:36:29,440 --> 00:36:32,000
Speaker 1: I just took Walker Buehler in the rat Slam too,

814
00:36:32,080 --> 00:36:35,440
Speaker 1: and they draft in Hold again. It's all upside and

815
00:36:35,480 --> 00:36:37,400
Speaker 1: he's looking pretty good in this spring all right. So

816
00:36:37,520 --> 00:36:40,320
Speaker 1: for me, here are my starting pitchers at two twenty

817
00:36:40,360 --> 00:36:43,880
Speaker 1: five overall. Gavin Williams of the Cleveland Guardians. I know

818
00:36:44,040 --> 00:36:46,600
Speaker 1: every expert. It feels like he's talking about Gavin Williams

819
00:36:46,600 --> 00:36:49,080
Speaker 1: and you know what, it's still not enough. I was

820
00:36:49,080 --> 00:36:52,080
Speaker 1: in a draft last night and Gavin Williams are far

821
00:36:52,120 --> 00:36:54,960
Speaker 1: too late and guess who took him? This guy And

822
00:36:55,160 --> 00:36:57,040
Speaker 1: right now, if you're looking at what he's doing this spring,

823
00:36:57,239 --> 00:37:00,480
Speaker 1: it's not good. It's dominant eight innings so far, giving

824
00:37:00,560 --> 00:37:03,280
Speaker 1: up US five hits. He has sixteen strikeouts and two walks. Welsh,

825
00:37:03,640 --> 00:37:06,600
Speaker 1: Oh my, Gavin Williams is ready. And the fact that

826
00:37:06,600 --> 00:37:08,480
Speaker 1: you've got Gavin Williams and Bobby at the top of

827
00:37:08,480 --> 00:37:11,600
Speaker 1: this rotation. Eventually you hope at some point Bieber comes back.

828
00:37:12,120 --> 00:37:14,600
Speaker 1: But they don't have to all be seven hitting pitchers.

829
00:37:14,640 --> 00:37:16,440
Speaker 1: You know, these guys can be six hitting pitchers and

830
00:37:16,480 --> 00:37:18,520
Speaker 1: turn it over that's that incredible bullpen and still be

831
00:37:18,640 --> 00:37:21,040
Speaker 1: very successful this year. There's still a lot of bridge

832
00:37:21,040 --> 00:37:23,000
Speaker 1: to win. Even if Williams is babied a little bit.

833
00:37:23,239 --> 00:37:27,080
Speaker 1: Nick Lodolo at two thirty, overall, lefties take a little

834
00:37:27,080 --> 00:37:30,279
Speaker 1: bit longer in the pressure cooker, just historically speaking, when

835
00:37:30,320 --> 00:37:32,239
Speaker 1: you look at it, and Lodolo I think is on

836
00:37:32,280 --> 00:37:34,640
Speaker 1: that precipice of being a guy that you could really

837
00:37:34,680 --> 00:37:37,319
Speaker 1: see taking a big step forward he cost you very

838
00:37:37,320 --> 00:37:39,719
Speaker 1: little to find out. He pitches on a very young,

839
00:37:39,760 --> 00:37:43,640
Speaker 1: exciting team, also having a decent spring and Lodolo I

840
00:37:43,640 --> 00:37:45,960
Speaker 1: think is another one of these pictures that I'm looking

841
00:37:45,960 --> 00:37:48,320
Speaker 1: to take a step forward this year. And if he doesn't,

842
00:37:48,560 --> 00:37:50,560
Speaker 1: you cut him, it's not a big deal. But I

843
00:37:50,560 --> 00:37:52,440
Speaker 1: think he has real sleep or potential. We saw the

844
00:37:52,480 --> 00:37:54,600
Speaker 1: strikeout of building the minor leagues and it is high.

845
00:37:54,800 --> 00:37:58,480
Speaker 1: Max Meyer of the Miami Marlins one of our favorites

846
00:37:58,480 --> 00:38:03,160
Speaker 1: on the show historically three overall. Talk about free maybe

847
00:38:03,160 --> 00:38:05,440
Speaker 1: he's free fifty two. That's what he is. He is

848
00:38:06,120 --> 00:38:08,440
Speaker 1: another one who's going to be limitated, like is he

849
00:38:08,480 --> 00:38:11,000
Speaker 1: gonna get to one hundred and fifty innings? Maybe? But

850
00:38:11,120 --> 00:38:13,120
Speaker 1: can he give me one hundred and twenty quality ones?

851
00:38:13,480 --> 00:38:16,160
Speaker 1: I think the answer is yes, and he will to that.

852
00:38:16,480 --> 00:38:20,120
Speaker 2: Lance Brasdowski from the Fantasy Fest checkout the breakout.

853
00:38:20,360 --> 00:38:24,120
Speaker 3: I watched dance. Lance talked about Max. I watched, so

854
00:38:24,280 --> 00:38:25,560
Speaker 3: that's ann to push.

855
00:38:25,480 --> 00:38:28,000
Speaker 1: Even I watched the channel. I mean, come on, even

856
00:38:28,000 --> 00:38:29,880
Speaker 1: if I'm not on, I'm watching the shows because I

857
00:38:29,920 --> 00:38:31,880
Speaker 1: want to hear it. Lance. Lance was terrific. That was

858
00:38:31,920 --> 00:38:35,640
Speaker 1: another mussy one, But Max Meyer another one where we've

859
00:38:35,680 --> 00:38:38,160
Speaker 1: been waiting and he was so electric a couple of

860
00:38:38,200 --> 00:38:40,440
Speaker 1: years ago, then the injuries, then the mismanagement last year.

861
00:38:40,440 --> 00:38:42,480
Speaker 1: I think we're finally done with all of that and

862
00:38:42,560 --> 00:38:45,960
Speaker 1: he's gonna have this rotation spot locked up. So Max, Meyra, Lodolo,

863
00:38:46,000 --> 00:38:49,040
Speaker 1: Gavin Williams, those are my starters, and Jordan Romano at

864
00:38:49,040 --> 00:38:52,200
Speaker 1: two seventeen my closer, and I think Vermano is just

865
00:38:52,239 --> 00:38:54,840
Speaker 1: being forgotten, a very steady closer, very solid for the

866
00:38:54,840 --> 00:38:57,840
Speaker 1: Blue Jays for years again health issues. Now find himself

867
00:38:57,880 --> 00:39:00,000
Speaker 1: with the Phillies in a spot where he's gonna get

868
00:39:00,040 --> 00:39:02,440
Speaker 1: plenty of opportunities for saves because that pitching staff is

869
00:39:02,600 --> 00:39:07,399
Speaker 1: great one through five, potentially really good. And now you're

870
00:39:07,440 --> 00:39:09,840
Speaker 1: talking about handing over a lot of leads, and I

871
00:39:09,840 --> 00:39:11,520
Speaker 1: think the Phillies are gonna win that division, and that's

872
00:39:11,520 --> 00:39:13,560
Speaker 1: a met fan saying it. I think the Braves will

873
00:39:13,560 --> 00:39:15,839
Speaker 1: still continue to get guys back, they might get hot late,

874
00:39:15,880 --> 00:39:18,080
Speaker 1: but I think this is the Phillies division to lose.

875
00:39:18,120 --> 00:39:21,040
Speaker 1: So give me Jordan Romano. So here are the names

876
00:39:21,080 --> 00:39:24,360
Speaker 1: on my all sleeper team for twenty twenty five. Ivan

877
