25
00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:43,959
Speaker 1: for the new logo. Part of this redesign was the

26
00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:47,360
Speaker 1: new logo, the sleeker, sexier logo. So make sure, especially

27
00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:50,279
Speaker 1: on Apple, that you're following the channel with the new logo.

28
00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:53,160
Speaker 1: That's the one that is continuing to be updated all

29
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:56,040
Speaker 1: throughout the year. And we are on the precipice of

30
00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:57,760
Speaker 1: the start of the new season. The reason that we

31
00:01:57,800 --> 00:02:01,400
Speaker 1: know that is because of the news coming out on

32
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:06,640
Speaker 1: Monday of non roster invitees to twenty twenty four Marlins

33
00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:10,720
Speaker 1: spring training. Before getting into the NRIs, I do want

34
00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:14,560
Speaker 1: to remind you about who is actually on this Marlins

35
00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:17,600
Speaker 1: roster to begin with. So those are the ones that

36
00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:20,760
Speaker 1: it goes without saying they have the inside track to

37
00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:23,920
Speaker 1: make the Marlins opening day roster. The Marlins have a

38
00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:28,040
Speaker 1: full forty man for the moment right as pitchers and

39
00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:30,720
Speaker 1: catchers report, they'll be opening up one spot when they

40
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:34,000
Speaker 1: can move Sandy al Contra to the sixty day il.

41
00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:37,520
Speaker 1: Other than that, it is jam packed. It is not

42
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:40,680
Speaker 1: a good forty man roster. We've been pretty blunt about

43
00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:42,960
Speaker 1: that how many of these players on this forty man

44
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:46,239
Speaker 1: seem to be expendable ones that you can't really trust

45
00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:49,960
Speaker 1: all that far. It is relatively experienced forty man roster.

46
00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:54,040
Speaker 1: Ninety percent of these guys have major league experience, and

47
00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:58,080
Speaker 1: because of that, when we talk about these NRIs, they

48
00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:00,720
Speaker 1: have kind of an uphill climb in order to crack

49
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:03,359
Speaker 1: this because that means they have to leap over players

50
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:06,359
Speaker 1: that already on the forty man Thirty six of these

51
00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:09,120
Speaker 1: guys have played in the big leagues before. A couple

52
00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:11,600
Speaker 1: of them have been called up to the big leagues

53
00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:13,960
Speaker 1: and haven't played during those short stints. But you can

54
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:17,560
Speaker 1: actually say that ninety thirty eight out of forty have

55
00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:20,440
Speaker 1: at least been on a major league active roster at

56
00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:23,480
Speaker 1: some point. You have to be really impressive during a

57
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:26,760
Speaker 1: relatively short sample size during spring training in order to

58
00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:29,560
Speaker 1: leap over them. Injuries tend to be a pretty big factor,

59
00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:33,239
Speaker 1: and there have been i think one recent year with

60
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:36,040
Speaker 1: the Marlins, where none of the nri's actually made the

61
00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:39,440
Speaker 1: opening day roster. The vast majority of the time, historically,

62
00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:41,480
Speaker 1: at least one of them does step up and That's

63
00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:44,080
Speaker 1: why we dive into this, because we think odds are

64
00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:46,200
Speaker 1: at least one of these guys will find their way

65
00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:50,360
Speaker 1: onto the Marlins opening day roster, which is coming up

66
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:54,560
Speaker 1: in fifty one days. As of this recording, it is

67
00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:57,680
Speaker 1: coming in fast and furious. Here so quickly the full

68
00:03:57,760 --> 00:04:00,560
Speaker 1: list that'll go through of these NRIs. In addition to

69
00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:03,760
Speaker 1: forty men roster, this now brings the total up to

70
00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:07,320
Speaker 1: sixty players that we're gonna definitely be seeing at the

71
00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:10,480
Speaker 1: start of spring. Trending in Jupiter to run through them.

72
00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:15,800
Speaker 1: Right handed pitchers Elvis Alvarado, matt Ian Drese, Robert Arias,

73
00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:20,000
Speaker 1: Jeff Lindgren, Kyle Tyler, left handed pitchers Pat Monteverde and

74
00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:26,200
Speaker 1: Devin Smeltzer, Catchers Will Banfield, Bennett Hosteler, Paul McIntosh, Johnny Parada,

75
00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:32,880
Speaker 1: infielders Jacob Barry, Jose Devers, Tristan Gray, Troy Johnston, Trey Mancini,

76
00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:38,760
Speaker 1: Javier Sonoa, and outfielders Griffin Conine, Marty Costas, Jonathan Davis.

77
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:41,200
Speaker 1: A lot of these guys were actually in the organization

78
00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:44,880
Speaker 1: last year. It's only seven of them coming truly from

79
00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:47,719
Speaker 1: the outside for this competition. I'm going to dive into

80
00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:51,039
Speaker 1: six of these twenty players on this episode that I

81
00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:55,280
Speaker 1: feel are superlative for one particular reason or another. That's

82
00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:59,760
Speaker 1: the title this episode, NRI Superlatives. Well, we'll go with

83
00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:04,159
Speaker 1: first is the youngest one of the bunch, Javier Sonoa.

84
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:08,400
Speaker 1: That is his unique trait. He's going to be twenty

85
00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:11,720
Speaker 1: one years old for almost the entirety of this twenty

86
00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:15,120
Speaker 1: twenty four season, not turning twenty two until September. The

87
00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:20,160
Speaker 1: second youngest player in camp overall, behind only a Yori Perez.

88
00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:24,320
Speaker 1: There's a difference of five months age wise between them

89
00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:28,920
Speaker 1: and Sonoah is from the same international signing class as Perez.

90
00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:32,720
Speaker 1: That was a class that was headlined by Jose Salas,

91
00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:35,760
Speaker 1: Junior Sanchez, Ian Lewis. Those three guys took up the

92
00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:40,279
Speaker 1: vast majority of Marlin's bonus pool that year. And yet

93
00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:43,440
Speaker 1: it's Perez that's already kind of cemented himself as a

94
00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:47,560
Speaker 1: big league starter, and now Sonoah who is also ready

95
00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:52,880
Speaker 1: coming up to big league camp. The last season split

96
00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:56,440
Speaker 1: it between low A and Hie. I would say I

97
00:05:56,480 --> 00:05:58,160
Speaker 1: was clamoring for him to get up to Hya a

98
00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:00,440
Speaker 1: little bit sooner. It was only thirty games at the

99
00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:03,600
Speaker 1: end of the year. What stood out is his incredible

100
00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:06,560
Speaker 1: bats of ball skills. He had a seven percent strikeout

101
00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:08,680
Speaker 1: rate in High A. He had a seven point four

102
00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:12,400
Speaker 1: in LOWA. The only real struggles he's had so far

103
00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:13,800
Speaker 1: in his career. I guess he had a little bit

104
00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:16,240
Speaker 1: of struggles in the DSL at the start of his

105
00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:18,960
Speaker 1: professional career, and then a little bit in Jupiter in

106
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:22,880
Speaker 1: twenty twenty two. Last year was super impressive for the

107
00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:26,000
Speaker 1: standards of hitting prospects in this organization, where so few

108
00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:29,600
Speaker 1: guys had actually good years at age appropriate levels. This

109
00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:34,360
Speaker 1: is somebody as a twenty year old who had barely

110
00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:37,440
Speaker 1: ever whiffed on the ball. He hit over three hundred

111
00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:40,400
Speaker 1: in Low A in a solid two sixty seven at

112
00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:43,120
Speaker 1: High A. By w RC plus you combine both levels,

113
00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:47,360
Speaker 1: he's slightly over one hundred. That is in itself impressive

114
00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:50,560
Speaker 1: because this guy's an up the middle player. They listed him,

115
00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:53,679
Speaker 1: as I mentioned, as an infielder on this spring roster.

116
00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:57,080
Speaker 1: I find that kind of curious because he overall has

117
00:06:57,120 --> 00:06:59,760
Speaker 1: played more games in center field than he has in

118
00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:03,400
Speaker 1: the infield spots as of late last year. It is

119
00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:07,240
Speaker 1: highly unusual to see a prospect that this young alternate

120
00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:11,720
Speaker 1: between catcher, center fields, second base, and shortstop during the

121
00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:13,640
Speaker 1: course of the season. The fact that all three of

122
00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:16,400
Speaker 1: those positions are still on the table for him, through

123
00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:19,840
Speaker 1: my eyes, I think he's really solid at just about

124
00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:22,600
Speaker 1: all them. Shortstop is going to be the biggest push

125
00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:24,400
Speaker 1: for is going to be kind of the biggest if

126
00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:27,440
Speaker 1: about him, because if he is a shortstop, that himself

127
00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:31,360
Speaker 1: really raises his floor. But he's super fast. Last year

128
00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:34,280
Speaker 1: stole thirty seven bases, and I think that was second

129
00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:38,680
Speaker 1: to the organization behind only Nassim Nunez the year before.

130
00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:41,960
Speaker 1: He was at eighteen. Year before he's eleven. The efficiency

131
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:45,120
Speaker 1: of his base stealing could improve a little bit, as

132
00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:47,120
Speaker 1: is usually the kids of the youngest guy in camp.

133
00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:51,239
Speaker 1: His chances of actually making the roster are essentially non existent.

134
00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:53,920
Speaker 1: I don't see a path here. The Marlins don't want

135
00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:56,000
Speaker 1: to rush him on the forty man any earlier than

136
00:07:56,040 --> 00:07:58,440
Speaker 1: they have to. If he is even better than they

137
00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:00,440
Speaker 1: thought he was, than they'll want to be careful with

138
00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:04,000
Speaker 1: his service time and ensure that they have six more

139
00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:07,320
Speaker 1: years of control even beyond this year. I think realistically

140
00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:10,040
Speaker 1: his eta to the big league is going to be

141
00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:11,680
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five, It would be a pretty big shock

142
00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:15,200
Speaker 1: if he makes any major league appearances this season. It does.

143
00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:17,640
Speaker 1: It is quite a statement though that he is an

144
00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:20,360
Speaker 1: NRI as somebody that even in his international class was

145
00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:24,280
Speaker 1: not among the higher profile guys. So he's come a

146
00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:26,680
Speaker 1: long way since. Then'm glad to see him rewarded for

147
00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:31,280
Speaker 1: the big year that he had in twenty twenty three. Then,

148
00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:34,480
Speaker 1: on the other end of the spectrum, the oldest NRI

149
00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:37,599
Speaker 1: in Marlins camp, Matt Andrees. This was one of the

150
00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:40,320
Speaker 1: earlier NRIs reported off the top of my head, I

151
00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:44,960
Speaker 1: think in December, and maybe even earlier than that, because

152
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:47,480
Speaker 1: the joke was he was one of many players that

153
00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:51,080
Speaker 1: came in that early on in this offseason with a

154
00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:56,200
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay Rays connection. I'm using his Angels photo that

155
00:08:56,360 --> 00:08:59,120
Speaker 1: was taken in what twenty twenty in His most recent

156
00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:00,880
Speaker 1: big league experience was in twenty twenty one, but he

157
00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:03,920
Speaker 1: started his major league career with the Rays and that

158
00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:08,640
Speaker 1: was way back in twenty fifteen. At this point, now

159
00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:12,320
Speaker 1: thirty four years old. He turns thirty five in August.

160
00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:17,280
Speaker 1: In different times where he was kind of, yeah, at

161
00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:19,400
Speaker 1: his best, you could say that he was a back

162
00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:22,640
Speaker 1: end starter for the Rays. He made nineteen starts in

163
00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:26,560
Speaker 1: twenty sixteen. He made seventeen and twenty seventeen overall with

164
00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:30,120
Speaker 1: a big league career four to sixty three ERA, so

165
00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:32,840
Speaker 1: it's a little bit worse than Lee average. The FIP

166
00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:35,719
Speaker 1: is more encouraging for his career a four point two

167
00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:37,800
Speaker 1: to one fifth because he throws a lot of strikes

168
00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:42,280
Speaker 1: even though he doesn't throw especially hard, below average velocity,

169
00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:46,600
Speaker 1: especially for a starting pitch, even for a starting pitcher,

170
00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:50,280
Speaker 1: but the strike up rate that was pretty close to

171
00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:53,520
Speaker 1: Lee average during his career overall twenty one point seven

172
00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:57,440
Speaker 1: percent of the time. But he's been a journeyman as

173
00:09:57,480 --> 00:10:01,360
Speaker 1: of late. After leaving the Rays, went to the Diamondbacks,

174
00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:05,079
Speaker 1: then the Angels, then Boston and Seattle. This past year

175
00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:09,000
Speaker 1: he was with the Dodgers Triple A affiliate. So he

176
00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:14,280
Speaker 1: is the kind of just that bulk that you could

177
00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:16,560
Speaker 1: say he's a little bit, potentially a little bit more

178
00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:18,199
Speaker 1: than a mop up guy, but he's going to be

179
00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:20,520
Speaker 1: able to give you length if you really needed. He

180
00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:24,200
Speaker 1: spent last year as a starter in Triple A, so

181
00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:28,000
Speaker 1: there's not going to be a particular ending slimmit for him.

182
00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:31,320
Speaker 1: Always good to have a body like that. I think

183
00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:33,120
Speaker 1: more than a few of you have been clamoring for

184
00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:36,480
Speaker 1: the Marlins to get an actual veteran who's of major

185
00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:40,040
Speaker 1: league quality, who can do that instead of somebody that

186
00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:43,520
Speaker 1: was kind of struggling frankly at Triple A last year.

187
00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:47,080
Speaker 1: You see if I can get those numbers with Triple A. Yeah,

188
00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:49,760
Speaker 1: he had a six oh five era he was playing

189
00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:51,400
Speaker 1: in the PCL, So you need to take that with

190
00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:54,160
Speaker 1: a grain of salt. Like league adjusted, it's still bad,

191
00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:57,839
Speaker 1: but it's not quite as alarming as six oh five

192
00:10:57,920 --> 00:11:01,440
Speaker 1: My team on the surface last year playing in the

193
00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:06,200
Speaker 1: super hitter friendly environments. Anyway, Matta injuries, he's the gray

194
00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:11,199
Speaker 1: beard of this group. Then going to the most accomplished

195
00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:16,520
Speaker 1: player of these NRIs, pretty easy one here, Trey Mancini.

196
00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:20,600
Speaker 1: So that news about him signing came out last week,

197
00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:24,480
Speaker 1: maybe the week before a World Series champion with the

198
00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:27,240
Speaker 1: Houston Astros, but far more notably, you remember Hit from

199
00:11:27,240 --> 00:11:32,480
Speaker 1: his days with the Baltimore Orioles five seasons, parts of six, yeah,

200
00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:35,319
Speaker 1: parts of six seasons to start his career. There was

201
00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:38,320
Speaker 1: a gap in between when he was battling cancer and

202
00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:40,839
Speaker 1: great that he beat that and got back on the field.

203
00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:44,000
Speaker 1: And returned as an everyday player, just not quite as

204
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:47,440
Speaker 1: effective an everyday player as he was prior to those

205
00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:51,000
Speaker 1: health issues. Overall, for his career a slash line of

206
00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:54,760
Speaker 1: two sixty three three twenty eight, four forty eight. There's

207
00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:57,640
Speaker 1: a one oh nine w RC plus that is six

208
00:11:57,720 --> 00:12:01,400
Speaker 1: point three fangrass wins above replacement in eight hundred and

209
00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:05,760
Speaker 1: thirty one major league games. Yeah, he's been durable outside

210
00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:10,840
Speaker 1: of that really freaky and scary cancer diagnosis, playing at

211
00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:13,480
Speaker 1: least one hundred and forty games every year from twenty

212
00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:16,880
Speaker 1: seventeen to twenty twenty two, with twenty twenty taken out

213
00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:20,280
Speaker 1: of that. At his best in twenty nineteen, thirty five

214
00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:24,120
Speaker 1: home runs, ninety seven runs batted in one hundred and

215
00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:29,840
Speaker 1: six runs scored as well. Not particularly good athlete even

216
00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:33,360
Speaker 1: at his best, only two career stolen bases, and he's

217
00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:36,480
Speaker 1: generally been a below average base runner every single year

218
00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:41,280
Speaker 1: of his career. His value kind of comes down to

219
00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:46,040
Speaker 1: hard line drives, singles, doubles, and home runs. Early in

220
00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:48,000
Speaker 1: his career, the home runs are there. Recently, they just

221
00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:51,040
Speaker 1: haven't been. He had only eighteen in twenty twenty two,

222
00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:54,040
Speaker 1: and last year in over a half season with the Cubs,

223
00:12:54,320 --> 00:12:57,800
Speaker 1: he had four homers, so they cut him, even though

224
00:12:57,840 --> 00:12:59,719
Speaker 1: it was in just the first year of a two

225
00:12:59,800 --> 00:13:04,520
Speaker 1: year deal fourteen million dollars. The yeah, the unflattering truth

226
00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:07,840
Speaker 1: is that he was awfully similar to the Cubs version

227
00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:10,640
Speaker 1: of Gene Sigura last year. That's kind of how bad

228
00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:14,000
Speaker 1: things got. It was a similar contract to Segura, not

229
00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:17,640
Speaker 1: yea a different type of player, not quite as it's

230
00:13:17,640 --> 00:13:19,959
Speaker 1: not quite as old, so that is what made it

231
00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:22,320
Speaker 1: a little bit surprising. But at the same time, because

232
00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:25,000
Speaker 1: he struggled so much laid in twenty twenty two with

233
00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:27,040
Speaker 1: the Astros, it didn't come out of nowhere. This is

234
00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:29,360
Speaker 1: kind of a continuation of a trend where if you

235
00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:33,920
Speaker 1: go back to the last one hundred and thirty games for Mantini,

236
00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:38,200
Speaker 1: it's like a seventy five seventy six WRC plus over

237
00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:41,720
Speaker 1: a very big sample. And that's why he's a minor

238
00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:43,720
Speaker 1: league deal. Well, it's also a minor league deal because

239
00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:46,199
Speaker 1: the Cubs are still paying him right so these players

240
00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:50,640
Speaker 1: can't get double paid as well. With the Marlins, it's

241
00:13:50,679 --> 00:13:55,000
Speaker 1: a pretty no brainer bounce back candidate. Potentially, if he

242
00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:57,560
Speaker 1: just bounces back to what he was with the Orioles

243
00:13:57,559 --> 00:14:00,239
Speaker 1: in early twenty twenty two. Well, he had one nineteen

244
00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:04,000
Speaker 1: WRC plus of the Orioles before getting traded as well.

245
00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:08,160
Speaker 1: Like there is, this was a pretty no brainer guy

246
00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:10,600
Speaker 1: to bring in for a team that, as you know,

247
00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:15,000
Speaker 1: is still really insecure with its offense. Mancini primarily a

248
00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:17,200
Speaker 1: first baseman, he has played the corner of outfield spots

249
00:14:17,240 --> 00:14:20,680
Speaker 1: in the past. I would say his if he just

250
00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:24,200
Speaker 1: simply mashes enough in the spring, then he's gonna force

251
00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:27,080
Speaker 1: his way on the roster. Also, if he shows that

252
00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:32,320
Speaker 1: he still has some juice in his legs to patrol

253
00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:35,560
Speaker 1: the outfield at a passable level, I think that'll be

254
00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:40,000
Speaker 1: a pretty important factor too. It's hard to I'm generally

255
00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:42,000
Speaker 1: not a huge fan of the idea of rostering to

256
00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:47,320
Speaker 1: first base only players, but if he can at least

257
00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:49,680
Speaker 1: fake it in the outfield this stage of his career,

258
00:14:49,760 --> 00:14:52,400
Speaker 1: now entering his age thirty two season, I think that

259
00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:55,240
Speaker 1: would be a pretty important factor to keep him going.

260
00:14:55,920 --> 00:14:59,840
Speaker 1: On the other end of the spectrum, looking at my

261
00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:03,480
Speaker 1: favorite sleeper here, the player that is probably know the

262
00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:06,320
Speaker 1: least about that, I would say among all these players,

263
00:15:06,560 --> 00:15:08,560
Speaker 1: he was high up there on my list of ones

264
00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:11,040
Speaker 1: who I had not heard of prior to him being signed.

265
00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:18,360
Speaker 1: Elvis Alvarado, twenty four year old reliever who throws one

266
00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:20,840
Speaker 1: hundred mile per hour sinkers. That's kind of the skinny

267
00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:24,160
Speaker 1: on him. That's what makes him really notable. Pitched in

268
00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:27,480
Speaker 1: the Dominican Winter League this past year. Prior to that,

269
00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:31,560
Speaker 1: he was in the Tigers organization. But he's bounced around

270
00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:34,360
Speaker 1: a little bit. He started his pro career with the Gnats,

271
00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:37,080
Speaker 1: then went to Seattle, and then he was in the

272
00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:40,280
Speaker 1: Tigers organization the last two years. He's been a reliever

273
00:15:40,640 --> 00:15:43,400
Speaker 1: from the jump in his pro career. Never really had

274
00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:47,240
Speaker 1: much illusions about starting which watching him like, there's the

275
00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:51,000
Speaker 1: makings of four different pitches here. The sinker is the headliner.

276
00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:54,120
Speaker 1: That's why he throws most often. That's what gets results about.

277
00:15:54,960 --> 00:15:59,800
Speaker 1: It's an exceptional combo of velo and armside movement that

278
00:15:59,840 --> 00:16:03,480
Speaker 1: he gets on that pitch. It's at times it's a

279
00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:07,440
Speaker 1: good strikeout pitch, like this past year across three different levels,

280
00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:11,760
Speaker 1: his strikeout rate was twenty six percent something around there.

281
00:16:12,280 --> 00:16:15,960
Speaker 1: But even more so, it's about avoiding the barrel of

282
00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:18,400
Speaker 1: the bat and getting some soft contact. He could throw

283
00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:20,320
Speaker 1: four seamers at the top of the zone because of

284
00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:22,320
Speaker 1: how much movement he gets on his sinker. The four

285
00:16:22,360 --> 00:16:25,760
Speaker 1: steamer is a distinct pitch when it doesn't have that movement,

286
00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:28,040
Speaker 1: and it's when it's in a different eye level that

287
00:16:28,080 --> 00:16:31,560
Speaker 1: he throws it at. He's got a slider low eighties,

288
00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:34,160
Speaker 1: low to mid eighties, and then I've seen a couple

289
00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:36,480
Speaker 1: of change ups of him. That seems to be the

290
00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:40,760
Speaker 1: weakest offering in his bunch as well. Always been a reliever.

291
00:16:41,520 --> 00:16:43,680
Speaker 1: I don't I think that itself is still staying. I

292
00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:45,760
Speaker 1: still find I do find it intriguing though, that he

293
00:16:45,800 --> 00:16:49,200
Speaker 1: could potentially have a deeper pitch mix than other guys.

294
00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:53,720
Speaker 1: He for the most party lives and dies with that sinker.

295
00:16:54,040 --> 00:16:56,520
Speaker 1: This past year, he finally made his first appearance at

296
00:16:56,560 --> 00:16:59,000
Speaker 1: the Double A level, and it was only one game

297
00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:00,320
Speaker 1: at the end of the season. It was only one

298
00:17:00,400 --> 00:17:03,560
Speaker 1: ending at the very end of the season, but stands

299
00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:05,320
Speaker 1: out to me. It's just how well he was pitching

300
00:17:05,440 --> 00:17:08,160
Speaker 1: heading into this. He has momentum. You could say, I mean,

301
00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:11,000
Speaker 1: you could chop up these sample sizes any way you want.

302
00:17:11,040 --> 00:17:14,040
Speaker 1: I do find it interesting that he has had twenty

303
00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:20,080
Speaker 1: one consecutive scoreless appearances, all them really short ones. Still

304
00:17:20,320 --> 00:17:24,560
Speaker 1: twenty one straight scoreless between minor league season and winter ball.

305
00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:27,440
Speaker 1: It was fourteen games in the Winter League. Was the

306
00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:31,040
Speaker 1: last seven of the twenty twenty three regular season that

307
00:17:31,119 --> 00:17:33,920
Speaker 1: was scoreless. I mean, that's pretty notable to me. When

308
00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:35,480
Speaker 1: I say a comp a sleeper, I don't mean a

309
00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:37,960
Speaker 1: sleeper to make the opening day roster. That'd be a

310
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:41,840
Speaker 1: pretty massive upset because, as you know we've talked about

311
00:17:41,840 --> 00:17:44,879
Speaker 1: with this Marlins forty man, it's not only full, but

312
00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:48,479
Speaker 1: it is full of relievers. It's full of also a

313
00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:50,960
Speaker 1: couple of starters that are gonna a couple of relievers

314
00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:53,480
Speaker 1: that are gonna pretend to be starters. But it's twenty

315
00:17:53,480 --> 00:17:55,560
Speaker 1: three pitchers on this forty man. It's a lot of

316
00:17:55,600 --> 00:18:00,760
Speaker 1: other pitchers that have good V low and solid breaking ball.

317
00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:03,919
Speaker 1: So he's pretty far in line. I'd say his chances

318
00:18:03,920 --> 00:18:07,040
Speaker 1: of making the open day roster there a little bit

319
00:18:07,040 --> 00:18:09,439
Speaker 1: better than Javi or Sonoa. They're still really low. I

320
00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:11,919
Speaker 1: mean it as somebody that we didn't really know anything

321
00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:15,320
Speaker 1: about that could be by the end of the season,

322
00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:16,480
Speaker 1: he could be up in the big leagues, and I

323
00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:18,600
Speaker 1: think long term he could be a better player than

324
00:18:19,440 --> 00:18:21,760
Speaker 1: we currently know him to be. I think he's somebody

325
00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:26,240
Speaker 1: that by the end of the year could be up

326
00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:28,159
Speaker 1: in the big leagues and then he could stick around

327
00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:30,720
Speaker 1: for a number of years as at the very least

328
00:18:30,840 --> 00:18:34,080
Speaker 1: a middle reliever in this pen. But it's a really

329
00:18:34,119 --> 00:18:38,480
Speaker 1: fun pitch. It's that sinker, and he was up to

330
00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:42,040
Speaker 1: one hundred. He was sitting high nineties, really sitting like

331
00:18:42,160 --> 00:18:45,719
Speaker 1: ninety eight, ninety seven, ninety eight on average during the

332
00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:48,320
Speaker 1: course of a winter ball. Needs to iron out his

333
00:18:48,359 --> 00:18:51,199
Speaker 1: control a little bit, but he's a lot closer to

334
00:18:51,920 --> 00:18:54,879
Speaker 1: being a passable strike thrower than you might expect for

335
00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:58,200
Speaker 1: somebody that hasn't really had much of a chance in

336
00:18:58,240 --> 00:19:04,560
Speaker 1: the high miners until coming over here. To finish us off,

337
00:19:04,600 --> 00:19:06,120
Speaker 1: we want to talk about the ones who are most

338
00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:09,200
Speaker 1: likely to actually make the cuts and actually push for

339
00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:13,160
Speaker 1: Marlin's opening day jobs. Almost every year, not every year,

340
00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:15,639
Speaker 1: but almost every year, one of these NRIs sneaks out

341
00:19:15,760 --> 00:19:17,280
Speaker 1: to the forty man. Somehow, we know they're going to

342
00:19:17,359 --> 00:19:20,399
Speaker 1: create a little bit of wiggle room once moving Sandy

343
00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:23,720
Speaker 1: al Contra to the sixty day IL, so there's gonna

344
00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:27,080
Speaker 1: be some wiggle room, and unfortunately there are almost always

345
00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:31,720
Speaker 1: some additional injuries that happened during the course of spring training.

346
00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:37,280
Speaker 1: I already mentioned Trey Mancini, He's the obvious one. With Mancini,

347
00:19:37,320 --> 00:19:39,800
Speaker 1: I think I would give his chances of cracking the

348
00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:45,479
Speaker 1: opening day roster is slightly over fifty percent, especially like

349
00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:50,359
Speaker 1: factoring in his track record and also anticipating that maybe

350
00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:53,640
Speaker 1: somebody is going to get hurt. So many different players

351
00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:57,160
Speaker 1: on this roster, whether it is any of the corner outfielders,

352
00:19:57,480 --> 00:20:02,160
Speaker 1: whether it's first base or any of the DH candidates,

353
00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:05,359
Speaker 1: like anybody from Berger to Bell to de la Cruz

354
00:20:05,440 --> 00:20:08,280
Speaker 1: to Sanchez to ave Garcia. Like, if any of those

355
00:20:08,280 --> 00:20:13,399
Speaker 1: guys get hurt, it creates more room, especially for a

356
00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:16,359
Speaker 1: right handed hitter like Mancini, who had times in his

357
00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:20,399
Speaker 1: career has had really strong production against lefties. So it

358
00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:24,000
Speaker 1: does a little bit to fill the Jorge Solaire void.

359
00:20:24,040 --> 00:20:27,600
Speaker 1: I think Mancini is pretty high up there in terms

360
00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:30,080
Speaker 1: of his opportunity to make the cut. Right behind him,

361
00:20:30,080 --> 00:20:34,439
Speaker 1: i'd have Jonathan Davis JD is back. I think the

362
00:20:34,480 --> 00:20:38,720
Speaker 1: fact that he was essentially non tendered early by the Marlins.

363
00:20:38,720 --> 00:20:41,960
Speaker 1: They waived him, nobody claimed him, became a free agent

364
00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:43,680
Speaker 1: and then he re signed with the team. I'd say

365
00:20:43,720 --> 00:20:47,520
Speaker 1: that is relatively rare to get squeezed off the team's

366
00:20:47,560 --> 00:20:49,920
Speaker 1: forty men roster and then still come back to that team.

367
00:20:49,960 --> 00:20:53,320
Speaker 1: That is somebody that recognizes he'll have a pretty good

368
00:20:53,320 --> 00:20:56,480
Speaker 1: opportunity to make that team, that he has some sort

369
00:20:56,520 --> 00:20:59,200
Speaker 1: of role to play as currently constructed. Like, who's the

370
00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:03,280
Speaker 1: backup center field behind jazzism Junior. You could say it's

371
00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:08,840
Speaker 1: Vidal brew Hahn occasionally, but even he hasn't played a

372
00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:12,960
Speaker 1: ton of center field in his career, and his offense

373
00:21:13,119 --> 00:21:17,000
Speaker 1: is just as suspect as Jonathan Davis is. Maybe it's

374
00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:20,160
Speaker 1: Hey sus Sanchez, maybe it's John. You can put John

375
00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:24,600
Speaker 1: Birdie there in an absolute emergency, but Jonathan Davis would

376
00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:27,679
Speaker 1: be kind of the better fit for backup center field

377
00:21:28,359 --> 00:21:32,720
Speaker 1: pinch running role as well. Who last year he hit

378
00:21:33,520 --> 00:21:35,280
Speaker 1: so much better than people thought he would at the

379
00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:38,840
Speaker 1: big league level. Was an eighty five WRC plus and

380
00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:44,119
Speaker 1: really timely hits, a good situational hitter. Even though we

381
00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:48,080
Speaker 1: have a liability overall at the plate, I think he's

382
00:21:48,119 --> 00:21:51,800
Speaker 1: a pretty solid shot of squeezing in there somehow. And

383
00:21:51,840 --> 00:21:56,000
Speaker 1: then Devin Smeltzer is not a sexy pick right here,

384
00:21:56,080 --> 00:21:59,679
Speaker 1: because he got plenty of opportunities last year and aside

385
00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:02,680
Speaker 1: from that one game he could wistfully remember that one

386
00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:04,919
Speaker 1: game in Cleveland. Aside from that one, he just was

387
00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:09,760
Speaker 1: not very impressive. But they kept defying him, they kept

388
00:22:09,760 --> 00:22:11,879
Speaker 1: outriding him, and he kept coming back. This was a

389
00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:14,280
Speaker 1: player that could have had could have elected free agency

390
00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:16,239
Speaker 1: during the last season if you felt there were other

391
00:22:16,280 --> 00:22:20,400
Speaker 1: opportunities elsewhere. He kept coming back and they as relatively

392
00:22:20,440 --> 00:22:22,920
Speaker 1: early in the offseason, they committed to bringing him back

393
00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:25,960
Speaker 1: and he wanted to come back. If that's the case,

394
00:22:26,840 --> 00:22:28,920
Speaker 1: and this is a player that they know that they

395
00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:31,680
Speaker 1: can call up in a pinch and use him either

396
00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:34,000
Speaker 1: as a spot starter or as a mop up man,

397
00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:36,800
Speaker 1: and then when they inevitably have to squeez him off

398
00:22:36,840 --> 00:22:39,200
Speaker 1: the forty man, that he's gonna stay around and be

399
00:22:39,240 --> 00:22:42,520
Speaker 1: available to be used later in the year. Then I

400
00:22:42,560 --> 00:22:44,480
Speaker 1: think that shows you that he's gonna be pretty high

401
00:22:44,560 --> 00:22:48,120
Speaker 1: up in line for when they inevitably need this kind

402
00:22:48,160 --> 00:22:53,560
Speaker 1: of filler like player. When injuries pop up, when just

403
00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:55,840
Speaker 1: you have a lot of fatigue on your pitching staff,

404
00:22:55,880 --> 00:22:59,919
Speaker 1: there will be opportunities for somebody like him. Matt Andrees

405
00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:05,680
Speaker 1: is in the same bucket elsewhere on this team. Jeff

406
00:23:05,720 --> 00:23:08,680
Speaker 1: Lindegren on the other NRIs, he's in a similar boat

407
00:23:08,760 --> 00:23:12,480
Speaker 1: as well. But I picked Smelter as the one that

408
00:23:12,720 --> 00:23:15,960
Speaker 1: at the start of the season always injuries have to

409
00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:20,560
Speaker 1: be a factor here, but I think if he is

410
00:23:20,600 --> 00:23:23,200
Speaker 1: on the roster, it'd be pretty short lived. I think

411
00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:26,919
Speaker 1: the usage will be relatively similar to last year, a

412
00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:30,399
Speaker 1: couple of weeks at most with him on the active

413
00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:32,840
Speaker 1: roster and then you just send him down and then

414
00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:36,119
Speaker 1: calm up again when you need it. So that's diving

415
00:23:36,160 --> 00:23:40,440
Speaker 1: deep on six particular guys. I was watching on YouTube

416
00:23:40,560 --> 00:23:43,720
Speaker 1: again one last look at the full group that we

417
00:23:43,800 --> 00:23:46,360
Speaker 1: have so far. There could be additional ones. I do

418
00:23:46,680 --> 00:23:50,480
Speaker 1: still expect there to be additional acquisitions between now and

419
00:23:50,560 --> 00:23:52,959
Speaker 1: the start of the season. This has been so slow

420
00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:56,000
Speaker 1: moving that there just are still dozens and dozens of

421
00:23:56,080 --> 00:23:59,520
Speaker 1: interesting major league free agents on the market, and there

422
00:23:59,520 --> 00:24:01,440
Speaker 1: could be other minor league guys that are worth a

423
00:24:01,480 --> 00:24:04,159
Speaker 1: chot squeezing in here. I believe the limit for a

424
00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:08,240
Speaker 1: spring training group as a whole is seventy five players.

425
00:24:08,560 --> 00:24:11,000
Speaker 1: Marlins are only at sixty, so there is some wiggle

426
00:24:11,080 --> 00:24:15,239
Speaker 1: room to continue adding to this group, and there are

427
00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:17,280
Speaker 1: some interesting names beyond the ones that I mentioned, but

428
00:24:17,480 --> 00:24:19,640
Speaker 1: I just want to be pretty concise with this analysis.

429
00:24:19,680 --> 00:24:21,919
Speaker 1: You can see the full list up on fish on

430
00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:25,360
Speaker 1: First dot com, so there will be this podcast posted there,

431
00:24:25,560 --> 00:24:29,360
Speaker 1: a separate article from Kevin Barral as well, and one

432
00:24:29,359 --> 00:24:33,040
Speaker 1: more look at are Sexy Redesigned website. We appreciate everybody

433
00:24:33,040 --> 00:24:36,680
Speaker 1: that's visited so far this pat The previous week prior

434
00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:39,639
Speaker 1: to my recording was by far a more visited time

435
00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:43,200
Speaker 1: since we became our own site in May of twenty

436
00:24:43,320 --> 00:24:47,520
Speaker 1: twenty three. Once the Marlins actually give us some things

437
00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:50,400
Speaker 1: to cover directly about them, then I think it's gonna

438
00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:53,040
Speaker 1: explode even more and we're gonna make it a place

439
00:24:53,320 --> 00:24:55,960
Speaker 1: where it's really easy to access the information and the

440
00:24:56,040 --> 00:24:59,719
Speaker 1: entertainment that you want relevant to the Marlins. I employ
