Mock drafts are very fun on Twitch, 66 00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:16,920 Speaker 1: so I enjoy that. Let's jump in. We've got a 67 00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:20,080 Speaker 1: couple questions loaded up here. What I want to do, though, 68 00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:22,519 Speaker 1: is I want to get your take on Roki Sazaki. 69 00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:24,800 Speaker 1: I think that's kind of the big news from the 70 00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:28,880 Speaker 1: Tokyo series. Everyone, I cautiously say with baited breath, was 71 00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:31,400 Speaker 1: waiting to see what was Roki going to look like. 72 00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:36,200 Speaker 1: I Joe have been a pretty prominent fader of Sazaki 73 00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:39,800 Speaker 1: this whole time, mainly because it's like I wasn'n interested 74 00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:43,200 Speaker 1: in the cost of top thirty sp I think there's 75 00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:46,280 Speaker 1: some stuff questions on him, even though that splitter is 76 00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:50,240 Speaker 1: like absolutely ridiculous, and also there's just a lot of 77 00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:53,080 Speaker 1: questions about like his long term viability with some of 78 00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:56,480 Speaker 1: the injury stuff. Not necessarily the injury came into play, 79 00:03:56,520 --> 00:04:01,560 Speaker 1: but Roki Sazaki's debut was less than he threw a 80 00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:03,880 Speaker 1: slider four times that actually worked out. He had some 81 00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:06,480 Speaker 1: zone there, but he was under fifty percent zone percentage, 82 00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:08,840 Speaker 1: so that means a fastball was not getting in the zone. 83 00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:11,000 Speaker 1: It was under fifty percent of the time. All of 84 00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:14,800 Speaker 1: the splitters he threw, only one was in the zone. 85 00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:18,320 Speaker 1: itIt a zero swing rate against It really didn't do 86 00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:20,800 Speaker 1: any of the damage. He walked a bunch. He looked 87 00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:24,840 Speaker 1: kind of erratic. Joe had a pretty harsh reaction to that. 88 00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:29,039 Speaker 1: What's your fantasy reaction for drafts that are like a 89 00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:31,839 Speaker 1: week away after seeing Roki Sazaki. I know, I don't 90 00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:33,479 Speaker 1: know where you were as far as like what his 91 00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:37,080 Speaker 1: ecr ADP was of pitchers, But do you think this 92 00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:40,919 Speaker 1: outing warrants any type of big change to the ranking 93 00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:42,160 Speaker 1: that maybe you had already had. 94 00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:46,600 Speaker 3: I don't want to overreact too much. 95 00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:48,200 Speaker 2: I mean, this was about as bad as it could 96 00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:50,839 Speaker 2: have been, though, Like he threw only forty four percent 97 00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:52,760 Speaker 2: of his pitches for strikes five walks. 98 00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:53,680 Speaker 3: It was really bad. 99 00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:56,719 Speaker 2: But at the same time, a little early in the year, 100 00:04:57,160 --> 00:04:59,440 Speaker 2: i'd to be starting up the season like they've starting 101 00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:02,200 Speaker 2: a couple of weeks early. So I don't know that 102 00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:05,440 Speaker 2: we could take any pitcher's performance at face value necessarily. 103 00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:06,719 Speaker 3: Maybe they're not fully ready. 104 00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:09,000 Speaker 2: We saw yesterday they're not letting guys even get up 105 00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:12,160 Speaker 2: into the eighty ninety pitch range. So I think that's 106 00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:14,719 Speaker 2: a little premature to like sound all the alarm bells 107 00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:16,920 Speaker 2: on Roki. But I think you're probably going to see 108 00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:18,719 Speaker 2: a little bit of a discount in drafts over the 109 00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:21,480 Speaker 2: next couple of weeks. If you are a Rokie believer, 110 00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:24,159 Speaker 2: and you should probably still be a believer. Just because 111 00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:26,920 Speaker 2: of one bad start, the first start that he's had 112 00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:31,839 Speaker 2: against major league hitters, I wouldn't be full blown panic mode, 113 00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:34,560 Speaker 2: but it also wasn't really that encouraging. I think you 114 00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:36,479 Speaker 2: can knock him down a couple of spots maybe, but 115 00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:39,360 Speaker 2: I wouldn't overreact and say he's undraftable or anything because 116 00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:41,760 Speaker 2: of this bad start. In a lot of leagues, specifically 117 00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:44,359 Speaker 2: on the NFBC, you have this kind of free look. 118 00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:46,799 Speaker 2: You don't have to put him into your lineups because 119 00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:49,159 Speaker 2: there's the first two weeks are being grouped in with 120 00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:51,680 Speaker 2: these couple of games, so you can actually bench him 121 00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:54,839 Speaker 2: in some formats. Won't you have to make that decision, 122 00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:56,919 Speaker 2: or if you're able to, you can make that decision. 123 00:05:56,960 --> 00:06:00,240 Speaker 3: But I'm not fully panicking about Roki after just one start. Yet. 124 00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:01,320 Speaker 1: Where did you have him ranked? 125 00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:04,680 Speaker 2: I had him at twenty four, but that's probably a 126 00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:06,160 Speaker 2: little too high. I think I'm going to move him 127 00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:09,200 Speaker 2: to like twenty eight, twenty nine maybe, but even I 128 00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:11,960 Speaker 2: don't want to overreact. Even that feels like maybe overreacting, 129 00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:14,880 Speaker 2: Like I think twenty five twenty six is probably about right. 130 00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:16,240 Speaker 2: But I think I'm higher on him than you at 131 00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:16,840 Speaker 2: that point though. 132 00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:19,080 Speaker 1: Right, I'm sorry, which one? What did you say it was? 133 00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:23,520 Speaker 3: I'm going to move him to twenty six looking. 134 00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:25,280 Speaker 1: At what did you wait? What did you have him at? 135 00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:28,680 Speaker 2: I had him at initially, I had him at nineteen 136 00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:31,080 Speaker 2: and then twenty two, and then he's gonna come down 137 00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:32,680 Speaker 2: a little bit more. Maybe I was a little bit 138 00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:35,320 Speaker 2: overly optimistic. Maybe I'm a little overly optimistic, but. 139 00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:39,080 Speaker 1: My headphones are. Yeah, you and I are. We were 140 00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:41,080 Speaker 1: in different stratus spheres. If you had him inside the 141 00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:46,160 Speaker 1: top twenty, I had him at thirty nine, so we were, like, 142 00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:48,800 Speaker 1: you know, completely off. I moved him down a couple 143 00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:51,520 Speaker 1: more spots because you know, like, I mean, hey, the 144 00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:54,159 Speaker 1: guy he went against justin steel, Like, I'm not sure 145 00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:57,279 Speaker 1: I saw much out of that where it's like, well, 146 00:06:57,480 --> 00:07:00,279 Speaker 1: especially the walks, take the walks for instance, he's not 147 00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:02,880 Speaker 1: hitting the zone and he is going to be stacking 148 00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:05,120 Speaker 1: some walks early on. I think we saw that with 149 00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:08,839 Speaker 1: Senga in like, you know, his early start of the career, 150 00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:11,440 Speaker 1: you're not going to go deep into games. Like maybe 151 00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:14,239 Speaker 1: he's gonna have some outings where he goes five strikes 152 00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:16,400 Speaker 1: out eight and stuff like that, but he's gonna throw 153 00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:18,920 Speaker 1: a ton of pitches. And you know, if you're in 154 00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:22,200 Speaker 1: that like Dylan ces Blake Snelly, like you're gonna just 155 00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:25,520 Speaker 1: throw tons and tons of pitches early on. I also 156 00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:28,000 Speaker 1: don't think they're gonna be comfortable with him and that 157 00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:31,520 Speaker 1: stuff going deep into games at any point. So if 158 00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:34,600 Speaker 1: you're gonna be capped around eighty to ninety pitches, how 159 00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:36,000 Speaker 1: often are you going to get to the six for 160 00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:39,160 Speaker 1: quality starts or even the fifth? And so I was 161 00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:41,160 Speaker 1: already kind of fading. So I've got him a little 162 00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:43,840 Speaker 1: outside the top forty. Joe moved him to fifty, and 163 00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:46,960 Speaker 1: Kelly Kirby had him in the forties, so we're this 164 00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:48,760 Speaker 1: might be one of those cases where like you have 165 00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:50,120 Speaker 1: a rank and you're like, oh, I don't know, I'm 166 00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:52,120 Speaker 1: kind of indifferent, but you sound like you are like 167 00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:56,040 Speaker 1: aunt you are on him, even though maybe your words 168 00:07:56,040 --> 00:07:58,000 Speaker 1: are a little less or a little more pessimistic. 169 00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:01,080 Speaker 2: I guess the ranking would a little bit too bullish 170 00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:03,760 Speaker 2: and it doesn't necessarily equate with where I feel on 171 00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:04,320 Speaker 2: him mentally. 172 00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:05,800 Speaker 3: That's why he's coming down a little bit. 173 00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:09,360 Speaker 2: But at the same time, like his walk rate through 174 00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:11,920 Speaker 2: his time in Japan was five to seven percent. Do 175 00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:15,280 Speaker 2: I think he's gonna be a twelve thirteen percent walk rate? 176 00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:16,400 Speaker 3: Guy, I don't. 177 00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:18,200 Speaker 2: I think that even if it does trend up a 178 00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:20,520 Speaker 2: little bit, you can still live with that. Even if 179 00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:23,200 Speaker 2: it is in the let's call it nine percent, he's 180 00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:26,120 Speaker 2: gonna be getting a boatload of strikeouts most likely. I 181 00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:28,600 Speaker 2: mean spring was a very small sample size, but twenty 182 00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:31,680 Speaker 2: six percent strikeout rate in Japan twenty eight thirty nine. 183 00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:32,240 Speaker 3: Thirty five. 184 00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:35,320 Speaker 2: I think that we may be panicking a little bit 185 00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:38,320 Speaker 2: too soon here on Roki. Like the main part of it, 186 00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:40,840 Speaker 2: I think is that, and we saw it kind of 187 00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:43,400 Speaker 2: with all the pitchers except for Yamamoto, that it may 188 00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:45,679 Speaker 2: be a little bit too early to actually be taking 189 00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:49,360 Speaker 2: away anything from this, like yeah, I don't know, you know, 190 00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:51,679 Speaker 2: like they're they're starting the season early because it's like 191 00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:52,480 Speaker 2: a promotional tool. 192 00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:55,200 Speaker 1: For me, it's an exhibition it's an exhibition game. That's 193 00:08:55,240 --> 00:08:58,080 Speaker 1: like the main thing that everyone needs to understand is 194 00:08:58,120 --> 00:09:00,720 Speaker 1: it is an exhibition game. And I'm complete with you 195 00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:03,559 Speaker 1: on a lot of that, and we might be open 196 00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:07,079 Speaker 1: to like maybe overreacting, but I already had him at 197 00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:09,600 Speaker 1: thirty nine prior to this, and so this to me 198 00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:11,839 Speaker 1: was like, there's kind of a confirmation because one of 199 00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:15,000 Speaker 1: the first things in the chat we had, Jay Rive 200 00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:17,839 Speaker 1: said our walk's going to be an issue with Suzaki, 201 00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:20,640 Speaker 1: and I think, like, yeah, I think so. Like he 202 00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:24,560 Speaker 1: was predominantly fastball splitter, and in this outing he was 203 00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:26,720 Speaker 1: not able to throw the splitter for strikes and the 204 00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:30,439 Speaker 1: fastball had also struggled with strike, Like that's a bad equation. 205 00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:33,720 Speaker 1: Now when he the fastball's nasty, and when he starts 206 00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:36,600 Speaker 1: throwing it for strikes, like, that's going to do well, 207 00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:38,640 Speaker 1: and maybe that's going to set the splitter out, you know, 208 00:09:38,679 --> 00:09:40,520 Speaker 1: like which chicken or the egg is going to do it. 209 00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:43,000 Speaker 1: But I just still think there's going to be some 210 00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:45,720 Speaker 1: walk issues throughout the year because there's not like he 211 00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:48,280 Speaker 1: doesn't lean on that slider. He threw it four of 212 00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:50,920 Speaker 1: them seven percent of the time, So I'm not sure. 213 00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:54,240 Speaker 1: While it's still like a little bit overblown. I think 214 00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:57,280 Speaker 1: there's some real potential, like, oh, he's not going five 215 00:09:57,440 --> 00:10:00,280 Speaker 1: or you know, now this inning is more efficient, but 216 00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:02,240 Speaker 1: he's not striking out guys. I'm just not sure it 217 00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:05,240 Speaker 1: warrant like an ECR one, this will be the last 218 00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:08,400 Speaker 1: on this but Strider is still ranked ahead of him. 219 00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:11,520 Speaker 1: No way. I'll thank Striider missing the first couple of 220 00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:13,640 Speaker 1: weeks and coming back after that outing than I would 221 00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:16,560 Speaker 1: banking on Sazaki for the season and maybe that'll look 222 00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:17,480 Speaker 1: silly at the end of the year. 223 00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:21,360 Speaker 2: Oh, I would take Strider over Sazaki. I had Sazaki 224 00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:25,240 Speaker 2: one spot ahead of Strider on my previous rankings and 225 00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:28,480 Speaker 2: it's I mean, I haven't updated it since Stryder had 226 00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:30,559 Speaker 2: his first outing of spring the other day where he 227 00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:31,400 Speaker 2: looked fantastic. 228 00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:33,319 Speaker 3: I know he wasn't facing a full. 229 00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:36,600 Speaker 2: Blown major league lineup, but I think Spencer Streider can 230 00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:38,760 Speaker 2: be considered a top twenty starting pitcher for me at 231 00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:41,080 Speaker 2: this point, top twenty, top twenty five, especially if you're 232 00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:45,040 Speaker 2: in an IL league. Sazaki, I'm not as worried as 233 00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:47,160 Speaker 2: you guys are, but I also have to bring him 234 00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:49,199 Speaker 2: down a couple spots, like regardless of the start. I 235 00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:50,800 Speaker 2: think I just had him a little bit too high. 236 00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:52,080 Speaker 1: I kind at the end of the day is like, 237 00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:54,560 Speaker 1: even if he's awesome, like I'm not gonna be like, 238 00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:57,240 Speaker 1: oh I sucked or good. I'm just indifferent, Like I'm 239 00:10:57,240 --> 00:10:59,320 Speaker 1: not interested. I won't have the share. So like, if 240 00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:02,280 Speaker 1: he's really good, I'll be like, oh, dang, I missed out. 241 00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:04,400 Speaker 1: And if he's really bad, it'll be like I don't 242 00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:06,160 Speaker 1: think it'll be quite I told you so, It'll just 243 00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:09,840 Speaker 1: be like, yeah, I'm just not invested. He's for better 244 00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:12,400 Speaker 1: or for worse, he is not the player that I 245 00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:15,880 Speaker 1: have super interest in because that middle tier of pitchers, 246 00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:22,000 Speaker 1: there are massive upside slash question pitchers across the board, 247 00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:24,960 Speaker 1: and it's like where Roki Sazaki's there and what the 248 00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:27,720 Speaker 1: upside could be. You also have Shane McClanahan, you have 249 00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:31,280 Speaker 1: Sandy al Contra, you have Spencer Schreider. I'd rather bank 250 00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:34,040 Speaker 1: on all of those guys and their potential upside of 251 00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:36,040 Speaker 1: what we've seen before, then I would with Roki Suzaki. 252 00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:37,880 Speaker 1: So just takes me out of it, but you are 253 00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:41,360 Speaker 1: right after that outing. This weekend of drafts is probably 254 00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:44,040 Speaker 1: gonna see a little bit of a down tick. Shout 255 00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:46,679 Speaker 1: out to my boy BILOCKI said, I'm just here hanging 256 00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:50,120 Speaker 1: out with Welsh. Hadn't done fantasy baseball in twenty years. 257 00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:52,840 Speaker 1: That's crazy. Well, time to get on, Bilaki. The Fantasy 258 00:11:52,840 --> 00:11:56,319 Speaker 1: pros tools maybe can help you out. Check out Draft Assistant, 259 00:11:56,760 --> 00:11:58,880 Speaker 1: you can check out the Wizard, you can get in. 260 00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:01,160 Speaker 1: We were thinking of doing a mock where we were 261 00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:04,080 Speaker 1: going to have Derek Brown and Andrew Erickson go against 262 00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:07,319 Speaker 1: a piece of PNI and they know zero about baseball, 263 00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:09,040 Speaker 1: but just by using the tools and see how they 264 00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:10,920 Speaker 1: rank out, I think they would probably do pretty good. 265 00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:13,920 Speaker 2: Joe, Yeah, Draft Wizard can be a pretty powerful tool. 266 00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:15,640 Speaker 2: We had it in our mock that we did. I 267 00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:18,000 Speaker 2: forget it was last week or the week before, but 268 00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:20,440 Speaker 2: the guy whose name is escaping me joined up in 269 00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:21,480 Speaker 2: one of our mock draft. 270 00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:23,880 Speaker 1: Black Drafter Yeah, was a fresh one. 271 00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:26,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, and he st I believe one hundred or ninety 272 00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:28,880 Speaker 2: eight and won the mock draft. So I mean that's 273 00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:31,520 Speaker 2: a bit of a plug there for the Draft Wizard. 274 00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:33,199 Speaker 2: It really does help you out. Even if you're somebody 275 00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:35,760 Speaker 2: who's a lot more casual. Maybe you're a bigger football 276 00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:37,480 Speaker 2: fan and you just kind of want to dip your 277 00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:40,560 Speaker 2: toes into the baseball waters. Hit up the draft wizard man, 278 00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:43,040 Speaker 2: start hitting those mock drafts. It'll really really be a 279 00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:44,160 Speaker 2: massive tool for you guys. 280 00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:48,200 Speaker 1: B to B Barney has a question that's very relative 281 00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:50,360 Speaker 1: to a big piece of news. He goes thoughts on 282 00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:53,880 Speaker 1: Jared Jones. Jared Jones, this is a little bit of 283 00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:56,240 Speaker 1: an update because we did talk MAB. We talked about 284 00:12:56,280 --> 00:12:59,000 Speaker 1: some of this stuff on Leading Off, on the special 285 00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:03,040 Speaker 1: edition Leading Off, But what I didn't know is Joe 286 00:13:03,120 --> 00:13:05,880 Speaker 1: was like, hey, Jared Jones, he's seeking you know, he's 287 00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:08,640 Speaker 1: going to be talking to a doctor about the arm. 288 00:13:08,679 --> 00:13:13,720 Speaker 1: He had some elbow inflammation or discomfort. And I was like, okay, well, 289 00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:17,240 Speaker 1: here's the deal. The second opinion is where I panic. 290 00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:20,800 Speaker 1: I don't want to react until we find out. Well, 291 00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:24,679 Speaker 1: some digging, it looks like he is going for a 292 00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:28,040 Speaker 1: second opinion that the discomfort had already kind of happened, 293 00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:31,480 Speaker 1: and this is more of a second opinion before they 294 00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:36,040 Speaker 1: move forward. Now I'm really worried. Maybe it'll be nothing, 295 00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:38,319 Speaker 1: And I pray to God because I've been very very 296 00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:40,679 Speaker 1: pro Jerry Jones. You know, one hundred and thirty stuff 297 00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:44,120 Speaker 1: plus on the fastball and the slider, like really ready 298 00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:48,080 Speaker 1: to take a next step this year. Second opinion absolutely 299 00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:51,440 Speaker 1: terrifies me, and I'm going to have to move him down. Obviously, 300 00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:53,920 Speaker 1: we'll have to find out B to B Barney asked 301 00:13:54,040 --> 00:13:58,000 Speaker 1: should I pick somebody up now? Options though were lighter 302 00:13:58,080 --> 00:14:01,920 Speaker 1: Max Mayer, Casey Mize, or stash of Bubba Chandler or 303 00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:05,319 Speaker 1: hold for now. So any take you have on Jared Jones, 304 00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:08,160 Speaker 1: maybe you're not scared or you're absolutely more terrified than 305 00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:09,760 Speaker 1: I am. And then what do you think about those 306 00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:13,600 Speaker 1: options versus doing it right now and picking up one 307 00:14:13,640 --> 00:14:14,360 Speaker 1: of those guys. 308 00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:16,440 Speaker 3: I think that he's probably toast. 309 00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:18,640 Speaker 2: As much as I hate to say it, I literally 310 00:14:18,880 --> 00:14:20,160 Speaker 2: you might have heard if you were in the stage 311 00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:23,440 Speaker 2: before we started recording. I drafted him last night on 312 00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:25,920 Speaker 2: a team as my SP four in a twelve team league. 313 00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:28,240 Speaker 2: I think it was picked one forty five or so. 314 00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:31,240 Speaker 2: Felt pretty good about it. He was a fallback after 315 00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:34,320 Speaker 2: I got sniped on Flaherty. But this Sunday, when we're 316 00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:37,000 Speaker 2: making our waiver pickups and drops, there's a very good chance, 317 00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:39,200 Speaker 2: even if we don't hear anything, that I'm probably gonna 318 00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:41,600 Speaker 2: cut Jared Jones loose. I don't think we're gonna get 319 00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:44,640 Speaker 2: much out of him at this point. I mean, maybe 320 00:14:44,640 --> 00:14:49,000 Speaker 2: we do, maybe we do, but roster space is so valuable. 321 00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:52,400 Speaker 2: You know, those are non il leagues, and I'm gonna 322 00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:55,760 Speaker 2: hold him for an indefinite amount of time where I 323 00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:57,440 Speaker 2: don't know what he's gonna look like when he comes back. 324 00:14:57,440 --> 00:14:59,320 Speaker 2: He dealt with a lot injury last year, and when 325 00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:02,560 Speaker 2: he returned he did look good. I think that he's 326 00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:05,160 Speaker 2: going under the knife. That's probably what's going to happen here, 327 00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:08,760 Speaker 2: unless he gets some great opinion on the second opinion. 328 00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:10,400 Speaker 2: But like you don't go to get a second opinion 329 00:15:10,440 --> 00:15:12,400 Speaker 2: because the first opinion is so great. It's because the 330 00:15:12,440 --> 00:15:15,560 Speaker 2: first opinion was probably you need Tommy John surgery. And 331 00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:17,040 Speaker 2: now he's going to go and try and get somebody 332 00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:19,200 Speaker 2: who can say, well, if you rest for six weeks, 333 00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:20,120 Speaker 2: maybe you can get through it. 334 00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:21,040 Speaker 3: Blah blah blah. 335 00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:23,240 Speaker 2: We've seen so many examples of the last couple of 336 00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:26,480 Speaker 2: years about how that usually does not work. So I 337 00:15:26,480 --> 00:15:28,280 Speaker 2: don't think it's crazy to drop him now. If you 338 00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:30,960 Speaker 2: want to wait for the news, then I wouldn't hold 339 00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:31,720 Speaker 2: that against you either. 340 00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:34,600 Speaker 1: But do you think those do you think those options 341 00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:39,560 Speaker 1: though lighter Meyer Mize or stashing above a Chandler, those 342 00:15:39,640 --> 00:15:41,560 Speaker 1: are the type of guys to make that move. Now. 343 00:15:41,800 --> 00:15:44,080 Speaker 1: One other thing that came out just before you answer 344 00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:46,840 Speaker 1: was I think it was one of the Pittsburgh Beat 345 00:15:46,880 --> 00:15:50,000 Speaker 1: reporters was kind of talking about that. The first two 346 00:15:50,160 --> 00:15:53,440 Speaker 1: options that the pirates might go to, I think it 347 00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:56,360 Speaker 1: was more in the terms of short term was actually 348 00:15:56,840 --> 00:16:00,680 Speaker 1: Thomas Harrington and I have Carmen I can't say his 349 00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:05,120 Speaker 1: last name, Midjoski, whatever, but it wasn't Bubba. But they 350 00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:07,680 Speaker 1: might if there's a long term issue go to Bubba. 351 00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:10,760 Speaker 1: Because my initial reaction was, listen, if Jared Jones is out, 352 00:16:10,840 --> 00:16:13,000 Speaker 1: especially for like a month or so, I think you 353 00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:17,120 Speaker 1: unleashed Bubba Chandler even though like the Spring statistically wasn't great. 354 00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:19,600 Speaker 1: The stuff was phenomenal, But I'm not sure that they 355 00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:22,280 Speaker 1: go that direction. So do any of those guys warrant 356 00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:24,640 Speaker 1: you just cut and bait now because you're like, oh, 357 00:16:24,680 --> 00:16:26,600 Speaker 1: I have to have MYZ or I have to have 358 00:16:26,600 --> 00:16:27,400 Speaker 1: Bubba Chandler. 359 00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:30,080 Speaker 3: I don't know how to feel about MYZ. 360 00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:31,880 Speaker 2: I don't know if these strikeout gains and Spring are 361 00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:34,960 Speaker 2: legit he's never been a big strikeout guy. I think 362 00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:37,720 Speaker 2: in a deeper league I wouldn't mind him, But I 363 00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:39,840 Speaker 2: think Max Meyer is probably the way I'm leaning. I 364 00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:42,120 Speaker 2: think everybody's kind of sold me on him. When we 365 00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:45,280 Speaker 2: did our Fantasy Fest panel with Lance Brasdowski, he was 366 00:16:45,280 --> 00:16:48,080 Speaker 2: talking about Max Meyer. Really the Marlin's rotation as a 367 00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:50,720 Speaker 2: whole is being very strong, and I've been a Meyer 368 00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:52,360 Speaker 2: guy for a long time. If I was personally going 369 00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:54,080 Speaker 2: to make a move, would probably be that route. I 370 00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:56,960 Speaker 2: don't really believe in Lighter. I don't know that he's 371 00:16:57,000 --> 00:16:59,120 Speaker 2: that good as of now. I think the command is 372 00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:01,560 Speaker 2: going to be a big problem for him. And with Chandler, 373 00:17:01,640 --> 00:17:03,320 Speaker 2: you might pick him up and you might have to 374 00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:04,960 Speaker 2: wait on him for a couple months, and that might 375 00:17:04,960 --> 00:17:06,840 Speaker 2: be the same thing as Jerret Jones at that point. 376 00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:08,720 Speaker 2: Like let's say they don't go for surgery with Cherry 377 00:17:08,840 --> 00:17:11,959 Speaker 2: Jones and they try and do the Avin Williams, Garrett 378 00:17:11,960 --> 00:17:14,119 Speaker 2: cole Rest and rehabilitation thing. Then you might just be 379 00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:16,880 Speaker 2: holding both of them potentially or either one of them 380 00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:19,480 Speaker 2: for a couple months, waiting for the return or waiting 381 00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:21,439 Speaker 2: for the call up. So from this group, for me, 382 00:17:21,520 --> 00:17:22,639 Speaker 2: personally it's Max Meyer. 383 00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:25,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm not sure any of them make me go 384 00:17:25,840 --> 00:17:30,040 Speaker 1: ballistic to make this move. Maybe Casey meies. I'm gonna 385 00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:33,000 Speaker 1: just wait out a tiny bit because if I think 386 00:17:33,040 --> 00:17:35,920 Speaker 1: all those guys are in the same general space, if 387 00:17:35,960 --> 00:17:38,600 Speaker 1: I felt better about Chandler making the team, he would 388 00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:40,800 Speaker 1: be the one I would immediately go to. But you 389 00:17:40,880 --> 00:17:44,879 Speaker 1: got multiple reporters. Cody Duncan, who's a Pirates blogger, says, 390 00:17:45,040 --> 00:17:47,560 Speaker 1: you know, Thomas Harrington, they feel really confident now about 391 00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:50,199 Speaker 1: making the team. We've heard that a couple times, so 392 00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:52,720 Speaker 1: you know, Harrington would be kind of in that range 393 00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:54,320 Speaker 1: where I'd be comfortable streaming. But I think these are 394 00:17:54,320 --> 00:17:57,320 Speaker 1: all streaming guys, So just wait till the news is official, 395 00:17:57,359 --> 00:17:59,159 Speaker 1: because also maybe you can put him on the el 396 00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:02,240 Speaker 1: but it looks really devastating the words too, By the way, 397 00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:06,800 Speaker 1: the official this is the statement Shelton said. Jones informed 398 00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:09,280 Speaker 1: the Pirates who's experiencing discomfort in his right elbow and 399 00:18:09,400 --> 00:18:12,760 Speaker 1: Sunday after his most recent bullpen. Pirates Senior director of 400 00:18:12,760 --> 00:18:17,680 Speaker 1: sports Medicine, Tom Tomsky informed reporters Wednesday morning after Shelton's 401 00:18:17,680 --> 00:18:21,720 Speaker 1: press conference, the club performed medical imaging on Jones and 402 00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:25,720 Speaker 1: is currently waiting a second opinion. That's what's bad, and 403 00:18:25,760 --> 00:18:28,159 Speaker 1: those are the official words of it, so be on 404 00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:31,520 Speaker 1: the lookout for that not fantastic.

That's fantracks dot com 422 00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:37,720 Speaker 1: slash Fantasy pros. All right, we got some other questions 423 00:19:37,760 --> 00:19:40,960 Speaker 1: in the chat. Let's see what's going on. Jay Rivey 424 00:19:41,359 --> 00:19:45,840 Speaker 1: asked chances of Cam Smith making the team. I am 425 00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:49,640 Speaker 1: very optimistic about this. They did not make a move. 426 00:19:49,920 --> 00:19:53,320 Speaker 1: They could have made a move. I'm I'm one hundred 427 00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:57,159 Speaker 1: percent leaning on yes. But here is my slight caveat Joe. 428 00:19:57,840 --> 00:20:00,040 Speaker 1: I think it would be a rough look if this 429 00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:03,280 Speaker 1: team has Josel Tuve and left and then they were 430 00:20:03,280 --> 00:20:05,879 Speaker 1: to go put Cam Smith in right field. That is 431 00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:10,200 Speaker 1: a not great defensive experience outfield that I'm not sure 432 00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:11,840 Speaker 1: the team is willing to do. And to me, that's 433 00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:13,760 Speaker 1: the only thing that would hold them off because they 434 00:20:13,800 --> 00:20:15,600 Speaker 1: look like they want to go to Bonn at second, 435 00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:19,240 Speaker 1: Paradis at third, though they could put Pardi's at second 436 00:20:19,560 --> 00:20:22,520 Speaker 1: and have Cam Smith in at third. All of that aside, 437 00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:24,480 Speaker 1: Eileen that he is going to make the team, and 438 00:20:24,520 --> 00:20:26,480 Speaker 1: I am drafting him at the end of drafts as such, 439 00:20:26,520 --> 00:20:27,120 Speaker 1: what say. 440 00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:29,760 Speaker 2: You, yeah, I'm willing to take him. The price is 441 00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:32,159 Speaker 2: a little spicy. In my league last night, in the 442 00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:34,840 Speaker 2: twelve team league. I think it was the twenty like 443 00:20:35,240 --> 00:20:36,760 Speaker 2: he went in the starting rounds. It wasn't even a 444 00:20:36,800 --> 00:20:39,080 Speaker 2: reserve round pick, I think round twenty one or twenty two. 445 00:20:39,200 --> 00:20:41,360 Speaker 2: So you are having to pay up a little bit, 446 00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:43,119 Speaker 2: but I think it is probably worth it. 447 00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:44,560 Speaker 3: If you look at what he's done in spring. 448 00:20:44,640 --> 00:20:48,840 Speaker 2: He has been unbelievably good all throughout spring training. 449 00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:50,400 Speaker 3: Will he carry that over? 450 00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:53,000 Speaker 2: Probably not to the same degree, almost certainly he won't 451 00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:53,639 Speaker 2: to the same degree. 452 00:20:53,640 --> 00:20:54,080 Speaker 3: But in this. 453 00:20:54,119 --> 00:20:57,680 Speaker 2: Lineup, I don't think he'll have that much trouble cracking 454 00:20:57,720 --> 00:20:59,320 Speaker 2: the top half of it or so. Like if you 455 00:20:59,320 --> 00:21:02,400 Speaker 2: look at six through nine, I mean, Payne is very good, 456 00:21:02,440 --> 00:21:05,400 Speaker 2: but McCormick, Dubon and Myers at the end of it, 457 00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:07,639 Speaker 2: I think there's a chance he ends up batt in 458 00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:09,720 Speaker 2: sixth if he does make the team. So I think 459 00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:11,119 Speaker 2: he does make the team, and I think that he 460 00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:12,679 Speaker 2: is a worthy player to. 461 00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:13,359 Speaker 3: Take a chance on. 462 00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:15,160 Speaker 2: I just don't want to get carried away if he's 463 00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:18,280 Speaker 2: going inside of the top twenty rounds or so, that's 464 00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:21,119 Speaker 2: where I would probably tap out. But he's been so 465 00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:23,840 Speaker 2: good in spring. Like he is a fan, you're much 466 00:21:23,960 --> 00:21:26,240 Speaker 2: more prospect incline than I am, but like the minor 467 00:21:26,320 --> 00:21:29,439 Speaker 2: league track record fairly small sample size is good. What 468 00:21:29,520 --> 00:21:32,720 Speaker 2: he did in college was great, thirty two played appearances 469 00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:35,320 Speaker 2: and three home runs already in spring he's walking a lot. 470 00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:37,480 Speaker 2: They kind of need him. Like the bottom half of 471 00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:39,600 Speaker 2: this lineup, like I said, is pretty bad. I think 472 00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:42,280 Speaker 2: they kind of need another offensive piece there. Maybe they 473 00:21:42,280 --> 00:21:44,119 Speaker 2: go to sacrifice a little bit of the defense, Like 474 00:21:44,200 --> 00:21:45,800 Speaker 2: Jake Myers is a really good defender. 475 00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:48,720 Speaker 3: He's probably staying out there. Maybe it's maybe it's. 476 00:21:48,680 --> 00:21:51,000 Speaker 2: Chas McCormick who loses some playing time if he does 477 00:21:51,040 --> 00:21:52,919 Speaker 2: make the opening day lineup. Who do you think would 478 00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:54,960 Speaker 2: be removed from it for him? Would it be McCormick, 479 00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:55,520 Speaker 2: you think. 480 00:21:55,680 --> 00:21:59,360 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that's probable. I also think he might 481 00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:02,160 Speaker 1: play this like super util role where you know, they 482 00:22:02,240 --> 00:22:04,359 Speaker 1: roll him in the outfield, they could roll him at 483 00:22:04,359 --> 00:22:07,600 Speaker 1: third base, like he provides some position flexibility. You know, 484 00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:09,960 Speaker 1: he maybe doesn't play every single day, but it's not 485 00:22:10,119 --> 00:22:12,280 Speaker 1: enough to be like, oh, we're not getting this guy again. 486 00:22:12,320 --> 00:22:14,520 Speaker 1: He might not like throwing this out here. He may 487 00:22:14,560 --> 00:22:17,040 Speaker 1: not be a starter for this team. They may send 488 00:22:17,080 --> 00:22:19,280 Speaker 1: him down to Double A. It's a pretty aggressive thing, 489 00:22:19,320 --> 00:22:22,160 Speaker 1: but you get that extra pick. So I think McCormick 490 00:22:22,480 --> 00:22:24,960 Speaker 1: would probably be one of the guys and maybe there's 491 00:22:24,960 --> 00:22:27,800 Speaker 1: some type of platoon situation. Just want to throw out 492 00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:31,399 Speaker 1: when you say twenty rounds, that's around two forty. So 493 00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:34,840 Speaker 1: the players that are going outside to forty, there are 494 00:22:34,840 --> 00:22:36,440 Speaker 1: some players like I don't want to say that they're 495 00:22:36,440 --> 00:22:40,240 Speaker 1: not You've got like Rehys Hoskins, Nate Lowe, Jake McCarthy, 496 00:22:40,280 --> 00:22:42,800 Speaker 1: A couple of players are like Michael Bush, Jung Hu Lee. 497 00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:45,639 Speaker 1: Those are guys that are outside of that, Garrett Mitchell. 498 00:22:45,720 --> 00:22:48,080 Speaker 1: But I'd also say like there's a big handful of 499 00:22:48,119 --> 00:22:50,200 Speaker 1: those that I'm not sure that it takes me off 500 00:22:50,320 --> 00:22:53,000 Speaker 1: if he's going outside of like two forty, that the 501 00:22:53,040 --> 00:22:55,200 Speaker 1: player pool is enough to not take that risk. I 502 00:22:55,200 --> 00:22:58,119 Speaker 1: wouldn't do it if I took like James Wood and 503 00:22:58,119 --> 00:23:00,600 Speaker 1: then Jason Dominguez and then like like if I had 504 00:23:00,640 --> 00:23:02,679 Speaker 1: a lot of risk. But there's a ton of upside 505 00:23:02,680 --> 00:23:05,480 Speaker 1: with cam Smith. There are definitely some players in there 506 00:23:05,520 --> 00:23:07,960 Speaker 1: that aren't exactly replaceable. But you know, as you move 507 00:23:08,040 --> 00:23:11,040 Speaker 1: down it's like, okay, well, you know, are you are 508 00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:13,160 Speaker 1: you going to be upset that you took him over 509 00:23:13,320 --> 00:23:17,560 Speaker 1: Jake Cronenworth or Kit Cabert Ruiz or Connor Norby, Like, 510 00:23:17,560 --> 00:23:19,200 Speaker 1: I'm not so sure about that, so you can take 511 00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:21,200 Speaker 1: some inherent risk. I'm for it, but he also hasn't 512 00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:23,600 Speaker 1: made the team, so there's nothing guaranteed. There a couple 513 00:23:23,600 --> 00:23:26,399 Speaker 1: more questions. Our boy mccunda have the first pick in 514 00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:29,679 Speaker 1: our dynasty head to head six by five, so I 515 00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:34,639 Speaker 1: guess best available? What is the six I'm guessing maybe 516 00:23:34,640 --> 00:23:38,520 Speaker 1: they added OBP to it. On the offense best available. 517 00:23:38,520 --> 00:23:42,920 Speaker 1: The options are Spincer Schwellenbach, Sazaki or Ronel Blanco ten 518 00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:49,240 Speaker 1: team league. That is well with it being dynasty Sazaki versus. 519 00:23:49,440 --> 00:23:51,600 Speaker 1: Because I was about to say, oh, it's so easy Schwellenbach, 520 00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:55,280 Speaker 1: but from a dynasty perspectives, Sazaki makes that a little 521 00:23:55,280 --> 00:24:02,600 Speaker 1: bit interesting. I'm oh, buddy, I might take Sazaki there, 522 00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:05,359 Speaker 1: but I think Schwellenbach is a good answer. What do 523 00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:07,560 Speaker 1: you think. I know you're not the biggest dynasty guy, 524 00:24:07,640 --> 00:24:10,280 Speaker 1: but Sazaki or Swellenbach, knowing you have years to. 525 00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:17,600 Speaker 2: Keep, I am probably going Schwellenbach. It's very close, though, 526 00:24:17,760 --> 00:24:22,159 Speaker 2: I think that one is. They're about even, but the 527 00:24:22,200 --> 00:24:24,479 Speaker 2: Dodgers just can't keep any pitchers healthy. I think that 528 00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:27,400 Speaker 2: has to factor into it in some respect, like whether 529 00:24:27,480 --> 00:24:29,000 Speaker 2: or not there's any actual noise to that. 530 00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:31,000 Speaker 3: I think there is, Like we have so many. 531 00:24:30,840 --> 00:24:33,480 Speaker 2: Years and years and years of data that shows that 532 00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:36,560 Speaker 2: pretty much every Dodger pitcher has to have a significant 533 00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:39,919 Speaker 2: time throughout their career. So with Suzaki coming in with 534 00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:42,320 Speaker 2: the recommendation from last year that we heard about where 535 00:24:42,359 --> 00:24:44,960 Speaker 2: he was told that he probably should have Tommy John 536 00:24:45,080 --> 00:24:48,240 Speaker 2: with this initial game, that doesn't look great. Like I 537 00:24:48,240 --> 00:24:49,919 Speaker 2: said earlier, I don't want to read too much into it, 538 00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:54,560 Speaker 2: but Schwellenbach I have been very very interested on Justin Mason. 539 00:24:54,560 --> 00:24:57,120 Speaker 2: Has him as a top ten starter this year, wow, 540 00:24:57,200 --> 00:25:00,600 Speaker 2: which I think is bold. But I also I also 541 00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:03,080 Speaker 2: kind of love it. Like he was brilliant last season. 542 00:25:03,119 --> 00:25:05,480 Speaker 2: He has a great team behind him, the command is there, 543 00:25:05,480 --> 00:25:09,439 Speaker 2: he strikes guys out, stuff is great. There's nothing to 544 00:25:09,520 --> 00:25:13,000 Speaker 2: really nick Schwellenbach for. He's only twenty four years old. 545 00:25:13,400 --> 00:25:15,760 Speaker 2: I think he's a lot safer, and I think the 546 00:25:15,760 --> 00:25:19,040 Speaker 2: team context is relatively comparable. The Dodgers are slightly better, 547 00:25:19,080 --> 00:25:21,520 Speaker 2: but does that really matter when you're projecting wins? Maybe 548 00:25:21,560 --> 00:25:24,240 Speaker 2: by one or two, But I think Schwellenbach is the 549 00:25:24,240 --> 00:25:25,680 Speaker 2: safer option between the two of them. 550 00:25:25,840 --> 00:25:27,720 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, and I've got him from a redraft 551 00:25:27,720 --> 00:25:29,960 Speaker 1: perspective right at like twenty so and I've been I've 552 00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:32,880 Speaker 1: been very vocal about Schwellenbach. So you know, the long 553 00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:35,600 Speaker 1: term perspective is which what's really interesting, And it's like, 554 00:25:35,640 --> 00:25:39,040 Speaker 1: if you believe Roki is going to reach that top form, 555 00:25:39,160 --> 00:25:41,679 Speaker 1: that top four might be a top five overall starting pitcher, 556 00:25:41,720 --> 00:25:44,240 Speaker 1: but Schwellenbach might not, especially if he takes those jumps, 557 00:25:44,320 --> 00:25:45,840 Speaker 1: might not be too much further off. All right, a 558 00:25:45,840 --> 00:25:48,520 Speaker 1: couple more questions we got here, And by the way, 559 00:25:49,040 --> 00:25:52,800 Speaker 1: Jay said Schwellenbach dark horse for in Elsai Young for 560 00:25:52,880 --> 00:25:54,399 Speaker 1: their pick. So a lot of people in on that. 561 00:25:55,600 --> 00:25:58,480 Speaker 1: Jay Sonnis in the six by six head to head 562 00:25:58,520 --> 00:26:01,520 Speaker 1: redrafts slugging and qualities arts with a high weekly transaction 563 00:26:01,600 --> 00:26:04,920 Speaker 1: limit and try not to stream pictures non stop chasing 564 00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:07,760 Speaker 1: K's wins and quality starts at the detriment of my 565 00:26:07,800 --> 00:26:10,399 Speaker 1: ear and whip. Do you recommend a pocket aces or 566 00:26:10,680 --> 00:26:15,040 Speaker 1: zero starting picturing type of strategy or any other thoughts? 567 00:26:15,119 --> 00:26:17,960 Speaker 1: So quality starts is in here because you said five 568 00:26:17,960 --> 00:26:19,760 Speaker 1: by five with quality starts, So I don't think you'd 569 00:26:19,760 --> 00:26:22,600 Speaker 1: be chasing wins, You're chasing strikeouts and k's there's some 570 00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:26,760 Speaker 1: transaction limit stuff here. What is what's your path here? 571 00:26:27,320 --> 00:26:29,399 Speaker 1: I don't think you're a big pocket aces guy, but 572 00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:32,399 Speaker 1: would you go heavier Let's maybe move this to like 573 00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:36,720 Speaker 1: two pictures in your top four picks or would you rather, 574 00:26:37,560 --> 00:26:42,280 Speaker 1: you know, like let's say three pictures between picks seven 575 00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:42,960 Speaker 1: and eleven. 576 00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:45,280 Speaker 2: I kind of like to spread it out a little 577 00:26:45,320 --> 00:26:48,320 Speaker 2: bit so that draft I alluded to yesterday, I took 578 00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:50,160 Speaker 2: a picture in the third and in the fourth round 579 00:26:50,160 --> 00:26:53,040 Speaker 2: I took Garrett Crochet and Chris Sale after already having 580 00:26:53,080 --> 00:26:55,679 Speaker 2: Aaron Judge and Jazz Chisholm. I personally kind of like 581 00:26:55,720 --> 00:26:58,639 Speaker 2: to have an offensive base of power and speed, and 582 00:26:58,680 --> 00:26:59,000 Speaker 2: then I. 583 00:26:58,960 --> 00:26:59,840 Speaker 3: Start to worry about this. 584 00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:03,320 Speaker 2: The pitchers pocket Aces is not something that I usually 585 00:27:03,359 --> 00:27:04,920 Speaker 2: want to go for. I think you just miss out 586 00:27:04,960 --> 00:27:07,040 Speaker 2: on so much value at the top of the draft. 587 00:27:07,040 --> 00:27:08,840 Speaker 2: If you can do a pocket Aces in the second 588 00:27:08,880 --> 00:27:11,960 Speaker 2: and third round after having like a Bobbywood junior, and 589 00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:15,080 Speaker 2: then you back that up with like potentially like a 590 00:27:15,119 --> 00:27:17,439 Speaker 2: Skeens and a Crochet or something like that, if it 591 00:27:17,480 --> 00:27:19,359 Speaker 2: works out for you, because Skeens actually fell a little 592 00:27:19,359 --> 00:27:19,640 Speaker 2: bit in. 593 00:27:19,560 --> 00:27:20,400 Speaker 3: This draft yesterday. 594 00:27:20,400 --> 00:27:22,720 Speaker 2: He went in the middle of the second round, so 595 00:27:22,800 --> 00:27:26,600 Speaker 2: did Schooble, So potentially that's something you could do. But 596 00:27:26,720 --> 00:27:28,840 Speaker 2: I think that first pick at least has to be 597 00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:31,000 Speaker 2: a hitter for me, especially if you're picking up the 598 00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:32,880 Speaker 2: front end of the first round and you get a wit, 599 00:27:32,960 --> 00:27:36,199 Speaker 2: you get out Tawny, Jay Ram, Judge, Ellie whatever, and 600 00:27:36,280 --> 00:27:39,000 Speaker 2: then I think in the first five picks you probably 601 00:27:39,040 --> 00:27:41,159 Speaker 2: take two pictures. I've tweeted this out the other day, Like, 602 00:27:41,320 --> 00:27:43,119 Speaker 2: ideally for me, in the first ten rounds, I have 603 00:27:43,200 --> 00:27:46,520 Speaker 2: six hitters, three starters, and one reliever. That's kind of 604 00:27:46,520 --> 00:27:47,879 Speaker 2: the way I want to have the base of my 605 00:27:47,960 --> 00:27:49,720 Speaker 2: team laid out. It will vary a little bit based 606 00:27:49,760 --> 00:27:51,960 Speaker 2: on format, but that's kind of the way I want 607 00:27:51,960 --> 00:27:53,200 Speaker 2: to have the foundation built. 608 00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:56,399 Speaker 1: I'm kind of with you on that. I like a picture. 609 00:27:56,480 --> 00:27:59,560 Speaker 1: I love crochet. In the third round I would probably 610 00:27:59,640 --> 00:28:02,760 Speaker 1: push maybe a little bit further, like let's say a 611 00:28:02,760 --> 00:28:04,600 Speaker 1: pitcher in the third, maybe a picture in the fifth 612 00:28:04,680 --> 00:28:06,920 Speaker 1: or sixth, and then when you get to like seven 613 00:28:07,080 --> 00:28:09,440 Speaker 1: eight in that range, I'm staring at like I'm more 614 00:28:09,440 --> 00:28:13,320 Speaker 1: interested in Strider's McClanahan. I think there's a lot of upside, 615 00:28:13,680 --> 00:28:17,560 Speaker 1: so I wouldn't go with that heavy I don't think Again, unfortunately, 616 00:28:17,560 --> 00:28:19,520 Speaker 1: we're giving you a different answer. It's not pocket ases, 617 00:28:19,560 --> 00:28:22,720 Speaker 1: it's not zero sp strategy like to get a workhorse. 618 00:28:22,760 --> 00:28:24,479 Speaker 1: If there's a good value on a second work ars, 619 00:28:24,520 --> 00:28:27,080 Speaker 1: I'll do it, then wait a bit and then dig 620 00:28:27,119 --> 00:28:30,280 Speaker 1: into that outside the top one hundred sps where you know, 621 00:28:30,280 --> 00:28:31,960 Speaker 1: if you can swoop in like I said of Contra 622 00:28:32,080 --> 00:28:34,560 Speaker 1: or McClanahan for upside, and then there's some other you 623 00:28:34,760 --> 00:28:38,680 Speaker 1: just really good starting pitchers with innings and value. Zach 624 00:28:38,760 --> 00:28:41,160 Speaker 1: Gallon is like a really good value this year. Boy, 625 00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:43,400 Speaker 1: I would have said Jared Jones, he's not Seth Lugo. 626 00:28:43,440 --> 00:28:45,120 Speaker 1: If you're trying to be a little bit safe for 627 00:28:45,200 --> 00:28:48,000 Speaker 1: Brian Wu Jack Flaherty like, and those are all post 628 00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:50,480 Speaker 1: one hundred pittures, I would probably look at that final 629 00:28:50,520 --> 00:28:53,160 Speaker 1: one here, big c. How many relief pictures do you 630 00:28:53,160 --> 00:28:55,320 Speaker 1: think is worth to have in a twelve man with 631 00:28:55,680 --> 00:28:59,960 Speaker 1: two rps, so two closing spots. This is a point 632 00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:03,840 Speaker 1: League headhead points, ESPN daily lineups. Current pictures are Finnigan 633 00:29:03,920 --> 00:29:07,040 Speaker 1: and Jason Adam, So this is a little bit different 634 00:29:07,160 --> 00:29:10,560 Speaker 1: because you the strikeouts are going to play is maybe 635 00:29:10,560 --> 00:29:12,200 Speaker 1: as much as the saves. It sound like, would you 636 00:29:12,200 --> 00:29:15,840 Speaker 1: add to Jordan Romano, Kinley or Ben Joyce for one 637 00:29:15,880 --> 00:29:18,280 Speaker 1: of them, and would you drop Austin Wells for one 638 00:29:18,280 --> 00:29:21,640 Speaker 1: of them and have three relief pitchers. So I think 639 00:29:21,680 --> 00:29:24,040 Speaker 1: there's a different take on this from a category standpoint. 640 00:29:24,360 --> 00:29:26,920 Speaker 1: From a point standpoint, what do you think about Like 641 00:29:27,320 --> 00:29:29,680 Speaker 1: fin Again and Adam it's super late, Like Romano's a 642 00:29:29,720 --> 00:29:32,000 Speaker 1: guy that has a gig. I'd probably drop at this 643 00:29:32,080 --> 00:29:34,640 Speaker 1: point Jason Adam for Romano. I probably dropped Finnigin for 644 00:29:34,680 --> 00:29:35,560 Speaker 1: Kenley Jansen too. 645 00:29:36,440 --> 00:29:39,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, I would drop Jason Adam. Like relievers, especially non 646 00:29:39,680 --> 00:29:42,760 Speaker 2: closing relievers and points leagues don't have a ton of value. 647 00:29:43,320 --> 00:29:45,320 Speaker 2: So Jason Adam maybe he gets that job at some 648 00:29:45,440 --> 00:29:48,040 Speaker 2: point with the Warrior with Suarez, but for now, I 649 00:29:48,040 --> 00:29:51,560 Speaker 2: don't think he's giving you a ton. Romano is interesting, 650 00:29:51,560 --> 00:29:53,360 Speaker 2: but I also don't really buy the health like I 651 00:29:53,360 --> 00:29:55,160 Speaker 2: think o Ryan Kirkering is going to be the closer 652 00:29:55,200 --> 00:29:57,560 Speaker 2: by by mid season, just seeing what he went through 653 00:29:57,560 --> 00:29:59,360 Speaker 2: in Toronto last year, the fact that they didn't re 654 00:29:59,440 --> 00:30:02,160 Speaker 2: sign the home town guy, the worries with the back 655 00:30:02,200 --> 00:30:04,160 Speaker 2: with the arm I worry a lot about. 656 00:30:04,040 --> 00:30:06,280 Speaker 3: Jordan Romano, having watched them for a long time. 657 00:30:06,640 --> 00:30:08,200 Speaker 2: I think I would probably go with ken Lee there 658 00:30:08,240 --> 00:30:10,560 Speaker 2: because Ben Joyce is in the same boat as Jason Adam. 659 00:30:10,600 --> 00:30:12,680 Speaker 2: I think he'll probably have the job at some point, 660 00:30:12,680 --> 00:30:14,840 Speaker 2: like ken Lee is going to be a pretty popular 661 00:30:14,880 --> 00:30:17,120 Speaker 2: trade ship. I would imagine around the All Star break 662 00:30:17,320 --> 00:30:19,560 Speaker 2: and then maybe Ben Joyce closes up for the last 663 00:30:19,560 --> 00:30:22,479 Speaker 2: couple months of the season. But I think for right now, 664 00:30:22,640 --> 00:30:25,680 Speaker 2: I would probably go ken Lee over Jason Adam. Dropping 665 00:30:25,680 --> 00:30:27,840 Speaker 2: Austin Wells depends on who your other catchers are, because 666 00:30:27,840 --> 00:30:30,240 Speaker 2: I think Austin Wells is a really nice late catcher 667 00:30:30,280 --> 00:30:31,840 Speaker 2: to have. If he's your second one and he's sitting 668 00:30:31,880 --> 00:30:33,520 Speaker 2: on the bench, though, then he's kind of just wasting 669 00:30:33,520 --> 00:30:34,360 Speaker 2: a spot at that point. 670 00:30:34,560 --> 00:30:38,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, and I would say this league reeks of like 671 00:30:38,840 --> 00:30:41,360 Speaker 1: saves don't do a ton you were playing if you 672 00:30:41,360 --> 00:30:45,000 Speaker 1: have Jason Adams in there and like Romano and Jansen available, 673 00:30:45,600 --> 00:30:49,280 Speaker 1: that is most likely because you're playing for strikeouts. So 674 00:30:49,400 --> 00:30:51,880 Speaker 1: in this instance, like I'm a little indifferent. If those 675 00:30:51,920 --> 00:30:54,760 Speaker 1: are the guys available out there on the wire, then 676 00:30:54,960 --> 00:30:57,200 Speaker 1: I think you can kind of just play the best hands. 677 00:30:57,440 --> 00:31:01,200 Speaker 1: In a more traditional standpoint, I want a little bit better. 678 00:31:01,600 --> 00:31:05,040 Speaker 1: I want like a top ten ish type of closer 679 00:31:05,240 --> 00:31:08,440 Speaker 1: back in on just Munio specifically, if I get Munya 680 00:31:08,560 --> 00:31:11,360 Speaker 1: and Tanner Scott, that's my ideal situation, I think I'm good, 681 00:31:11,760 --> 00:31:14,680 Speaker 1: And then you can speculate on guys like Adam aj Puck. 682 00:31:14,720 --> 00:31:17,560 Speaker 1: I've talked about you know, you said o Ryan Kirkring, 683 00:31:17,880 --> 00:31:20,080 Speaker 1: Josel Varado's had an insane spring, Like, there's a lot 684 00:31:20,080 --> 00:31:22,440 Speaker 1: of ways you can go. Points leagues are very weird 685 00:31:22,880 --> 00:31:26,600 Speaker 1: to me with closers a lot. Aj Puck would be 686 00:31:26,600 --> 00:31:29,560 Speaker 1: someone in a points league that you know, pushes strikeouts 687 00:31:29,560 --> 00:31:32,720 Speaker 1: that I would really be into. Friends you there, Oh yeah, 688 00:31:32,760 --> 00:31:33,360 Speaker 1: go ahead. 689 00:31:33,600 --> 00:31:35,000 Speaker 2: Sorry, sorry, well she I was just going to say, 690 00:31:35,040 --> 00:31:36,720 Speaker 2: if there are any starting pitchers who are a leaf 691 00:31:36,760 --> 00:31:39,280 Speaker 2: pictuer eligible on the waiver wire, those are almost certainly 692 00:31:39,280 --> 00:31:41,160 Speaker 2: going to be better options than any of the relievers 693 00:31:41,160 --> 00:31:44,000 Speaker 2: you got listed. If there's a Clay Homes, Yeah, you 694 00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:46,320 Speaker 2: know certain guys like that, maybe out in France, even 695 00:31:46,360 --> 00:31:48,680 Speaker 2: a big not even a huge Francis guy, but they 696 00:31:48,720 --> 00:31:51,000 Speaker 2: will accrue more points on a weekly basis than almost 697 00:31:51,000 --> 00:31:53,440 Speaker 2: any reliever especially the non closing relievers. 698 00:31:54,080 --> 00:31:56,640 Speaker 1: You guys can come and ask your questions. Every single week. 699 00:31:56,720 --> 00:31:59,760 Speaker 1: Cleaning up is back on Fantasy Pros and the Fantasy 700 00:31:59,800 --> 00:32:02,680 Speaker 1: Pros Discord.
