1
00:00:00,560 --> 00:00:17,119
Speaker 1: Baseball is back. Let's talk to the pros. Welcome in everybody,

2
00:00:17,120 --> 00:00:20,200
Speaker 1: the fantasy pros. This is the Fantasy Baseball Podcast. And

3
00:00:20,440 --> 00:00:24,640
Speaker 1: B Joey p Joe Pisapia with me is insider the Welsh.

4
00:00:24,680 --> 00:00:27,160
Speaker 1: That's right, he's now an MLB insider because he's down

5
00:00:27,200 --> 00:00:31,280
Speaker 1: there in spring training on the fields. He's shagging flies,

6
00:00:31,360 --> 00:00:33,760
Speaker 1: he's getting dan. And we've got a great guest for

7
00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:37,800
Speaker 1: you today from CBS. My dude, Frank Staffle's gonna join

8
00:00:37,920 --> 00:00:41,640
Speaker 1: us and today baseball is back. When last week left you,

9
00:00:42,120 --> 00:00:44,680
Speaker 1: it was a somber tone. Paul Sport and the Welsh

10
00:00:44,720 --> 00:00:46,760
Speaker 1: were in a quite a dust up. It was very

11
00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:51,000
Speaker 1: reminiscent of Jose Bautista and rugnett o'dor going at it.

12
00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:53,760
Speaker 1: We didn't think baseball is happening. We've come back here

13
00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:57,840
Speaker 1: this week with a fresh attitude.

14
00:00:58,080 --> 00:00:59,600
Speaker 2: Are you gonna say I took it on the chin?

15
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:00,240
Speaker 1: Okay?

16
00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:02,520
Speaker 2: No, yes, Sde I take it on the chin. I'm Batista.

17
00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:03,400
Speaker 2: I took it on the chin.

18
00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:05,759
Speaker 1: I think not because you took it on the chin

19
00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:09,319
Speaker 1: just because Paul Sporer was swinging. Paul Sporer was swinging

20
00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:11,600
Speaker 1: and he was basically didn't care what he was swinging.

21
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:14,680
Speaker 2: He was just the air, just that nothing he was.

22
00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:16,480
Speaker 1: He was swinging at the air and he was and

23
00:01:16,520 --> 00:01:18,160
Speaker 1: he would say, go ahead, you talk, and then he

24
00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:19,880
Speaker 1: would swing again at you. And I felt like, that's

25
00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:21,320
Speaker 1: kind of why he has to be a door in

26
00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:23,800
Speaker 1: this that you not that you couldn't throw a punch, Mosh.

27
00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:26,440
Speaker 1: I believe you're a big, strong guy. But anyway, we've

28
00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:29,600
Speaker 1: got transactions to talk about, we got injuries to talk about,

29
00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:33,080
Speaker 1: we have got draft day bargains to talk about. Frank Stanfel,

30
00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:35,199
Speaker 1: I am so grateful to have you on the show.

31
00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:38,560
Speaker 1: Everybody knows Frank. Frank is super famous. He hosts, obviously

32
00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:42,000
Speaker 1: the Fantasy Baseball Today pod over at CBS. Frank, how

33
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:44,280
Speaker 1: are you feeling now that baseball is back?

34
00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:47,280
Speaker 3: Relieved but also overwhelmed.

35
00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:49,360
Speaker 4: There is so much going on right now in the

36
00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:51,840
Speaker 4: baseball world, so we're reacting to it in real time.

37
00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:56,480
Speaker 4: All these trades, signings, tatis, motorcycles. Everything's going crazy right now.

38
00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:58,160
Speaker 4: But I'm happy to be here two of my favorite

39
00:01:58,160 --> 00:01:59,080
Speaker 4: people in the industry.

40
00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:00,920
Speaker 3: And I really do mean that. I'm not just saying

41
00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:01,480
Speaker 3: are you.

42
00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:05,920
Speaker 2: Are you allowed to have that beard with that hat

43
00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:07,600
Speaker 2: on I thought there was a Yankee rule where you

44
00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:09,519
Speaker 2: can't have that rookie beard. I'm pretty sure you gotta

45
00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:10,360
Speaker 2: shave that off, Frank.

46
00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:13,320
Speaker 4: Honestly, I was growing it out until baseball was back,

47
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:14,480
Speaker 4: and now I just kind of like it.

48
00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:17,040
Speaker 2: So it looks kind of rookie. I think Frank might

49
00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:18,960
Speaker 2: be throwing the punches here. It's it's a Fantasy Pro

50
00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:21,440
Speaker 2: sandwich with CBS in the middle. Gotta love it, love.

51
00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:23,359
Speaker 1: I do, kind of. I do kind of see the

52
00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:24,399
Speaker 1: rookie thing he's got.

53
00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:26,160

57
00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:36,520
Speaker 1: the hat of the beard, everything comes with it. It's

58
00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:38,000
Speaker 1: like a whole thing. He just puts it on for

59
00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:39,600

92
00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:17,919
Speaker 1: So let's get kicking here, and let's start off with

93
00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:21,279
Speaker 1: the big news. Fernando Tatists Junior may have surgery, may

94
00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:24,480
Speaker 1: not have surgery. I don't know, Frank, you are our

95
00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:27,279
Speaker 1: guests today. Well surely failed us because he saw Fernando

96
00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:30,040
Speaker 1: Tatis's brother and he didn't ask him what the deal is.

97
00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:31,600
Speaker 3: And you failed to today.

98
00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:33,960
Speaker 1: You know you're a failure today. Well, so I'm gonna

99
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:37,119
Speaker 1: go to you instead, Frank Tatist. This new is obviously huge.

100
00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:39,359
Speaker 1: Let's say he does have the surgery. Let's live in

101
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:42,240
Speaker 1: that hypothetical world. He could miss all the way up

102
00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:45,320
Speaker 1: and not be back until June. Where does this bump

103
00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:48,000
Speaker 1: Fernando Tatists down in your redraft rankings right now.

104
00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:50,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, So I'm currently ranking him as if he is

105
00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:53,120
Speaker 4: going to have surgery and miss all that time. So

106
00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:56,800
Speaker 4: I moved him down to seventeen in my shortstop rankings,

107
00:04:56,839 --> 00:04:59,280
Speaker 4: which sounds like a massive drop it is. I mean,

108
00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:02,000
Speaker 4: he was my number one overall player, and rightfully so.

109
00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:04,640
Speaker 4: Even last year dealing with the shoulder injury, he was fantastic.

110
00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:07,240
Speaker 4: He was like the fifth overall player in Rodo regardless

111
00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:09,279
Speaker 4: of that. So I got him just behind Willie Damas

112
00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:13,080
Speaker 4: and Dansby Swanson, just ahead of Jake Croninworth and Chris Taylor.

113
00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:16,120
Speaker 4: We did a mock draft last night and he went

114
00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:18,920
Speaker 4: eighty fifth overall, So I think he's kind of scaring

115
00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:22,599
Speaker 4: like eighty to one twenty range right now overall. And

116
00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:26,440
Speaker 4: it's just a tough situation because it's a fluid situation.

117
00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:29,080
Speaker 3: There's details coming out. We don't know if he's gonna.

118
00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:30,480
Speaker 4: Have the surgery, but if he does, that's where I

119
00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:32,080
Speaker 4: have him ranked as of now.

120
00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:33,880
Speaker 1: That's where I have him too. I moved him down.

121
00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:36,960
Speaker 1: I think he's at ninety overall or somewhere there. Also,

122
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:40,000
Speaker 1: I think I have him at shortstop sixteen or fifteen. Overall,

123
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:41,880
Speaker 1: I can't remember exactly where, but I moved him basically

124
00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:44,240
Speaker 1: behind Bobby Wood Junior because I think that's my threshold.

125
00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:46,280
Speaker 1: It's do I want to take a full season of

126
00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:48,480
Speaker 1: the rookie who I really believe in, or half a

127
00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:50,880
Speaker 1: season of tatist. I think I want the rookie because

128
00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:52,440
Speaker 1: I want the games. I want the volume. It's one

129
00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:54,400
Speaker 1: thing in season long roto, but well, these head to

130
00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:56,960
Speaker 1: head leagues, this kind of a time miss can absolutely

131
00:05:57,000 --> 00:06:00,560
Speaker 1: crush you. So where have you had to adjust with tattoos?

132
00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:02,440
Speaker 1: And what's your instincts? Tell you here? If you've got

133
00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:04,480
Speaker 1: a draft coming up this weekend, you kind of have

134
00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:05,800
Speaker 1: to make some hard choices here.

135
00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:07,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, I'm with you, guys. I did kind of

136
00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:09,120
Speaker 2: the same thing. I want to say. I've got him

137
00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:11,920
Speaker 2: at like eighty six eighty seven. I also put him

138
00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:15,279
Speaker 2: right below Wit And actually in the discord there's a

139
00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:18,560
Speaker 2: private little Chris welsh Ama room and our boy elc

140
00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:21,080
Speaker 2: and asked this exact question, and I said the same thing.

141
00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:24,800
Speaker 2: I said, Listen, at this point, I believe Bobby Wood

142
00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:26,599
Speaker 2: Junior is going to start the year. He's been working

143
00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:30,039
Speaker 2: third base with the Majors there's an incentive now for

144
00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:32,520
Speaker 2: teams to have these guys beyond the opening day roster

145
00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:34,840
Speaker 2: makes all the sense in the world. So you know

146
00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:37,839
Speaker 2: two and a half months. I mean we're talking like, okay,

147
00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:42,320
Speaker 2: scenario is probably two maybe just under worst case scenario

148
00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:44,840
Speaker 2: could be three months into the season or even beyond.

149
00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:46,799
Speaker 2: I mean, what if there's also like a shoulder surgery

150
00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:49,920
Speaker 2: and what that takes away? That that all that is

151
00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:52,400
Speaker 2: a juice worth the squeeze. He's awesome when he's out there,

152
00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:54,400
Speaker 2: but the time missed, even if it's roto, even if

153
00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:56,320
Speaker 2: it's counting on the back end, I think, you know,

154
00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:59,760
Speaker 2: a best ball or something is completely different. But I'm

155
00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:02,080
Speaker 2: not it's super interested, though I do acknowledge this. One

156
00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:05,440
Speaker 2: thing is that when I get into drafts, because someone

157
00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:08,039
Speaker 2: asked me about this, I do feel like, probably after

158
00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:10,520
Speaker 2: the fourth round, he's gonna be on my radar. You know,

159
00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:13,080
Speaker 2: you're gonna see his name another one. I don't think

160
00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:15,679
Speaker 2: we're gonna talk about him, but you know, Ronald d'cunya

161
00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:19,680
Speaker 2: didn't exactly get the most rousing endorsement this past week,

162
00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:22,080
Speaker 2: and we talked about him last week Joe in. Hey,

163
00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:23,840
Speaker 2: you know if we're miss games. Blah blah blah. That's

164
00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:26,160
Speaker 2: not happening. And then they came out and said they

165
00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:28,720
Speaker 2: hope he's back by May. It could be late May.

166
00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:31,560
Speaker 2: So Ronald d'acunya is in a similar situation that you're

167
00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:33,720
Speaker 2: gonna be into the third round and you might see

168
00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:36,560
Speaker 2: Akunya and Tatisa on your draft board. It's going to

169
00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:40,080
Speaker 2: be enticing. Let somebody else be the one that does

170
00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:42,960
Speaker 2: the overreach, because to Frank's point, like when he said

171
00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:47,120
Speaker 2: Dansby and Willia Domis, those sound gross, those sound super

172
00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:50,480
Speaker 2: gross like, but the production you're gonna get from them

173
00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:54,440
Speaker 2: for three months is anything with very little risk compared

174
00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:57,280
Speaker 2: to what you have with Tatis. So the sad, unfortunate

175
00:07:57,320 --> 00:07:58,840
Speaker 2: news is we I think we got to dump him

176
00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:02,239
Speaker 2: down past seventy five, and then you know God willing

177
00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:03,800
Speaker 2: to you in the format you play in and how

178
00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:06,000
Speaker 2: you can cover for him if you want to jump in.

179
00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:08,840
Speaker 1: I could see on Frank's face that he was not

180
00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:10,800
Speaker 1: happy about your disparaging of Willia.

181
00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:13,640
Speaker 2: Toms back Willia Dominus, but like black, like who wants

182
00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:15,360
Speaker 2: Willia Domas is like your top guy.

183
00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:17,360
Speaker 1: Frank, Save it save it for Save it for the

184
00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:20,280
Speaker 1: draft day bargains. Frank, save it for that. Don't worry.

185
00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:23,160
Speaker 1: You can unleash on Welsh later. Let's talk about matt Olsen.

186
00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:28,440
Speaker 1: Matt Olson apparently on the move, and the Oakland A's

187
00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:31,480
Speaker 1: are making moves, and matt Olsen moves to the Atlanta Braves,

188
00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:35,000
Speaker 1: a better home ballpark certainly for him, and then they

189
00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:38,199
Speaker 1: signed to an eight year extension. Not too shabby. I mean,

190
00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:41,240
Speaker 1: Matt Olson forty dingers last year, one hundred and one hundred.

191
00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:43,000
Speaker 1: It's a pretty darn good player. And now all of

192
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:46,480
Speaker 1: a sudden he is moving to the Atlanta Braves. And

193
00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:48,520
Speaker 1: Frank I was looking in the prop for him was

194
00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:50,960
Speaker 1: thirty to one to lead the league in home runs.

195
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:53,120
Speaker 1: I was jumping on that yesterday. I think that's a

196
00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:55,880
Speaker 1: fantastic one. But from a fantasy standpoint here this means

197
00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:58,040
Speaker 1: if Freddy Freeman's not coming back. So how do you

198
00:08:58,120 --> 00:09:01,040
Speaker 1: unpack this year for matt Olsen, this that the Braves made.

199
00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:03,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think overall it's a net positive, right, he

200
00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:07,400
Speaker 4: moves to a seemingly better ballpark, a better lineup around

201
00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:10,520
Speaker 4: him as well. Interestingly enough, you look on stackcast, you

202
00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:13,760
Speaker 4: scroll down, they show how many home runs he would

203
00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:16,560
Speaker 4: hit in each ballpark right. So last year he hit

204
00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:18,920
Speaker 4: thirty nine home runs overall, and if he played all

205
00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:22,160
Speaker 4: of his games in Atlanta and all of his batted

206
00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:23,840
Speaker 4: balls were hit the exact same way, he only.

207
00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:25,640
Speaker 3: Would have had thirty four home runs. So I found

208
00:09:25,679 --> 00:09:26,240
Speaker 3: that interesting.

209
00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:28,960
Speaker 4: Overall, I still think it's a better park shift for him,

210
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:30,320
Speaker 4: it's a better lineup around him.

211
00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:32,040
Speaker 3: He was awesome last year.

212
00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:34,559
Speaker 4: He made huge strides in terms of strikeout rate against

213
00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:37,200
Speaker 4: left handed pitching, and that's really what afforded him the

214
00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:40,200
Speaker 4: ability to break out and have the best season of

215
00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:44,800
Speaker 4: his career. However, I worry about guys changing leagues, especially

216
00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:48,320
Speaker 4: players that are being drafted this early too. I mean,

217
00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:50,040
Speaker 4: his ADP is in the middle of the third round

218
00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:52,559
Speaker 4: right now, and that skill set as well. I get

219
00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:55,920
Speaker 4: it the power, it's enticing, but in a categories league,

220
00:09:55,920 --> 00:09:58,040
Speaker 4: I'm typically looking for some kind of speed in my

221
00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:01,360
Speaker 4: first three four rounds and points league I'm probably looking

222
00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:03,800
Speaker 4: for pitching at that point, So he's just not a

223
00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:06,599
Speaker 4: skill set that I typically target in that part of

224
00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:08,679
Speaker 4: the draft. And I do worry that there could be

225
00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:11,120
Speaker 4: a transition period here going from the American League to

226
00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:11,880
Speaker 4: the National league.

227
00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:13,280
Speaker 3: We saw it with Francisco Lindoram.

228
00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:16,440
Speaker 4: Honestly, we've seen it with a bunch of stars basically

229
00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:18,360
Speaker 4: as long as we've been playing this game. So I

230
00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:20,800
Speaker 4: worry a little bit for Matt Olson. I'm not going

231
00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:22,120
Speaker 4: to be the one drafting in the third.

232
00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:24,600
Speaker 1: Round, all right, Welsherre, You're gonna be the one drafting

233
00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:27,079
Speaker 1: with a third round seems like, you know, thirty five

234
00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:29,439
Speaker 1: ninety five ninety five is a pretty good bid. That

235
00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:32,160
Speaker 1: sounds like a pretty great third round player to me.

236
00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:35,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, Frank said it pretty much how I would have

237
00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:36,720
Speaker 2: said it as well, Like, I actually think this is

238
00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:39,040
Speaker 2: a good positive for the support that's around that. I

239
00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:42,000
Speaker 2: think there's a higher IRBI opportunity. There's a lot of

240
00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:44,840
Speaker 2: just offensive support that's across this team. Much different team

241
00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:49,480
Speaker 2: Oakland to the Atlanta Braves, but from a roster construction standpoint,

242
00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:52,120
Speaker 2: that's not when I'm looking at first basement. I pass

243
00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:54,040
Speaker 2: on Matt Olson all the time. If he were to fall,

244
00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:56,320
Speaker 2: I'd be interested. He's not going to fall because now

245
00:10:56,360 --> 00:10:58,000
Speaker 2: he's a brave. He's gotten out of Oakland and he's

246
00:10:58,040 --> 00:10:59,800
Speaker 2: going to be a brave. And Franks All's right, there's

247
00:10:59,840 --> 00:11:02,360
Speaker 2: a transitional thing. Another guy to thrown there, Manny Machado

248
00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:05,560
Speaker 2: from a couple of years ago. We see that transitional change.

249
00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:08,520
Speaker 2: I think this could be a little bit different. But

250
00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:10,480
Speaker 2: you know, you say that, and you go and look

251
00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:12,600
Speaker 2: at Manny Machado and all the guys they had around

252
00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:15,760
Speaker 2: that he had the same thing. He's just not as

253
00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:18,240
Speaker 2: fun as he is. He's not in that target range.

254
00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:20,559
Speaker 2: I love Pee Alonzo, but kind of same thing. I

255
00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:23,160
Speaker 2: like that big, big in power, but I would like

256
00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:25,000
Speaker 2: it to fall a little bit, and Olsen does not.

257
00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:26,920
Speaker 2: And the trade is not going to change anything, So

258
00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:31,240
Speaker 2: net positive. I agree with draft target due to his cost,

259
00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:32,320
Speaker 2: probably not for me.

260
00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:36,079
Speaker 1: Shout out to Pee Alonzo. Two car flips three times

261
00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:37,840
Speaker 1: in an accident, he walks away from it.

262
00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:39,640
Speaker 2: He kicked a windshield out.

263
00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:45,080
Speaker 1: Ab Pe Alonzo, Ladies and gentleman, that's my dude right there.

264
00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:47,840
Speaker 1: All right. There were some trades too. The Mariners acquired

265
00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:52,160
Speaker 1: outfielder Jesse Winker and third baseman a Canio Suarez from

266
00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:55,640
Speaker 1: the Reds. They got Justin Dunn, Brandon Williamson, Jake Freeley,

267
00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:58,240
Speaker 1: back Welsh. What do you make of this trade here?

268
00:11:58,280 --> 00:12:01,160
Speaker 1: Obviously the Reds are shedding Anna Salary. Who knows if

269
00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:04,440
Speaker 1: Castillo is next, but Jesse Winker and Suarez, I mean,

270
00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:07,080
Speaker 1: two players that we've liked in fantasy over the years

271
00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:09,720
Speaker 1: and different years. Certainly last year Waker was tremendous. But

272
00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:12,160
Speaker 1: now you're moving him out of Cincinnati. What are your

273
00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:14,199
Speaker 1: thoughts here on what this does to their fantasy value?

274
00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:16,439
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, you know, it's funny. When Winker was

275
00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:18,160
Speaker 2: in the minors, his big thing was he was like

276
00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:21,400
Speaker 2: a high, high contact hitter who really struggled to find

277
00:12:21,440 --> 00:12:23,199
Speaker 2: his power in the miners. Then when he came up,

278
00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:25,400
Speaker 2: he had these short little burst where it was like, oh,

279
00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:27,120
Speaker 2: he hit eight homers and one hundred and fifty eight

280
00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:28,640
Speaker 2: bats and we kind of got excited. Then he kind

281
00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:32,520
Speaker 2: of found himself. I don't obviously love the ballpark change

282
00:12:32,640 --> 00:12:35,520
Speaker 2: for him, but I still think this is an overall

283
00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:39,120
Speaker 2: positive because the Reds not a great, great team. It's

284
00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:41,840
Speaker 2: a great ballpark. Seattle's not gonna be playing in Seattle

285
00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:44,120
Speaker 2: for every single game, just half of them. I like

286
00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:46,120
Speaker 2: the team. I like the team construction. I like it's

287
00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:48,160
Speaker 2: being aggressive. He's going to hit right in the middle

288
00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:50,720
Speaker 2: of the order. If you get bounced backs from guys

289
00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:54,120
Speaker 2: like Jared Kelnick, you've got a running team RBI. I

290
00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:57,160
Speaker 2: think it's better RBI opportunity in Seattle than there is

291
00:12:57,280 --> 00:13:00,560
Speaker 2: in Cincinnati. But I think it's it's just it's kind

292
00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:02,280
Speaker 2: of like middle line, Like I don't see the reason

293
00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:04,200
Speaker 2: to really dump him off because of a tiny bit

294
00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:07,400
Speaker 2: of a power tick down where I think run an

295
00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:09,960
Speaker 2: RBI opportunity can be there. So it's just it's a

296
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:11,000
Speaker 2: flat line for me.

297
00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:15,360
Speaker 1: And Frank Your Yankees acquired Josh Donaldson and Isaiah Kiner

298
00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:18,400
Speaker 1: Filefa for Geo or Schella and Gary Sanchez. What are

299
00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:21,520
Speaker 1: your thoughts on this one? Because Josh Donaldson in New

300
00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:24,120
Speaker 1: York City, to me, is not a good marriage in

301
00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:27,079
Speaker 1: terms of the media and what I know of Josh Donaldson.

302
00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:29,280
Speaker 1: So I think this is a peculiar It makes sense

303
00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:32,080
Speaker 1: on paper. I'm a little worried about this one in practice?

304
00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:35,400
Speaker 1: Or is it just get Gary Sanchez out of town? Oh?

305
00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:38,199
Speaker 3: I mean, as a Yankee fan, I was ecstatic that.

306
00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:41,199
Speaker 4: I don't have to watch Sanchez try to catch balls.

307
00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:44,440
Speaker 4: I mean he didn't really do much catching actually, but yeah,

308
00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:46,640
Speaker 4: so throw up here Yankee perspective. I'm fine with the movie.

309
00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:48,640
Speaker 4: It kind of caught me off guard. It didn't really

310
00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:50,560
Speaker 4: think that they needed to upgrade third base. They get

311
00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:53,720
Speaker 4: their stopgap shortstop because obviously they are very excited about

312
00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:56,480
Speaker 4: the prospects that are coming. Anthony Volpi the shortstop of

313
00:13:56,520 --> 00:13:58,800
Speaker 4: the future there, so they get, you know, likely one

314
00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:01,760
Speaker 4: year out of Isaiah kind of le Donaldson I already

315
00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:04,240
Speaker 4: liked for fantasy because it felt like he was under value.

316
00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:07,439
Speaker 4: He's going around pick two hundred according to Fantasy Pros ADP,

317
00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:09,959
Speaker 4: and he was really good last year. I mean, you know,

318
00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:12,520
Speaker 4: hit around two fifty twenty six home runs eight twenty

319
00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:15,560
Speaker 4: seven ops. He still walks a lot, strikeout rate is decent,

320
00:14:15,640 --> 00:14:18,240
Speaker 4: and now the team context and the ballpark is much better.

321
00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:20,520
Speaker 4: So now moving over to the Yankees, I think we're

322
00:14:20,520 --> 00:14:22,000
Speaker 4: gonna start to see a little bit of attacks. I

323
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:24,520
Speaker 4: think he moves up probably like thirty forty spots in ADP,

324
00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:27,360
Speaker 4: but I'd still be willing to take him there, especially

325
00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:29,840
Speaker 4: with the third base position looking as bad as it is.

326
00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:33,160
Speaker 4: So if you miss out on Chris Bryan and Anthony

327
00:14:33,160 --> 00:14:35,160
Speaker 4: Rendon and Alex Bregman and those guys going in the

328
00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:38,120
Speaker 4: middle round, I think Josh Donaldson is a great fallback

329
00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:39,000
Speaker 4: option and.

330
00:14:38,960 --> 00:14:40,880
Speaker 3: Then kinder Fileffa. You know, if you're playing a deeper

331
00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:42,640
Speaker 3: rodo categories league.

332
00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:44,640
Speaker 4: I think he could be like a ten homer, two

333
00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:48,800
Speaker 4: eighty hitter, twenty plus steals, and again the context for

334
00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:50,640
Speaker 4: the team is really good. So if you do play

335
00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:52,280
Speaker 4: in a deeper format and you need some speed late,

336
00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:53,440
Speaker 4: I think IKF is fine.

337
00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:55,680
Speaker 2: I'm glad you brought him up because that was I

338
00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:58,960
Speaker 2: wanted to talk about him, because I almost put him

339
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:01,000
Speaker 2: in the next section. What we're gonna talk about when

340
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:04,120
Speaker 2: we're kind of talking about bargains, not just to poke

341
00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:08,240
Speaker 2: at Paul Spor and our ongoing Isaiah kind of Palifa

342
00:15:08,560 --> 00:15:12,000
Speaker 2: beef or anything like that, but because he I mean,

343
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:13,960
Speaker 2: this is a guy that is going to stay on

344
00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:16,560
Speaker 2: the field. He can run. If the team is going

345
00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:18,320
Speaker 2: to allow him to run, he's gonna get that every day,

346
00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:21,320
Speaker 2: and he's positioned his position eligibility is gonna work in

347
00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:23,560
Speaker 2: his favor. Where I mean, josh Donlinson get hurts all

348
00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:25,320
Speaker 2: the time, he can move over to third. The thing

349
00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:28,000
Speaker 2: we don't know one hundred percent, but what if he

350
00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:30,720
Speaker 2: got some catcher run again and he got that eligibility

351
00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:32,680
Speaker 2: into the season. That was what was so enticing about

352
00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:36,040
Speaker 2: him in Yahoo last year that I think the steel

353
00:15:36,080 --> 00:15:38,760
Speaker 2: potential could uptick. And you actually, I think gave a

354
00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:41,520
Speaker 2: pretty aggressive line. If he were ten ish Holmer's twenty

355
00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:44,960
Speaker 2: stolen bases, he's probably I think I saw some of

356
00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:48,280
Speaker 2: the roster resource depth charts like around I think seven

357
00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:51,120
Speaker 2: or eight or something like that. You're gonna get run opportunity.

358
00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:53,760
Speaker 2: He's gonna be kind of devoid in RBI. I think

359
00:15:53,880 --> 00:15:56,680
Speaker 2: posts like two point fifty or wherever he is. He's

360
00:15:56,800 --> 00:15:58,240
Speaker 2: kind of a I don't know if I want to

361
00:15:58,280 --> 00:15:59,720
Speaker 2: go as far as bargain. That's why I didn't put

362
00:15:59,800 --> 00:16:01,920
Speaker 2: him in, but I think he's close to that. If

363
00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:03,520
Speaker 2: you're looking for a little bit deeper league in a

364
00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:06,480
Speaker 2: middle infield for an uptick and stolen bases, and I

365
00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:08,240
Speaker 2: don't know, God knows, man, he could jump into a

366
00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:10,520
Speaker 2: little bit more power. Maybe he gets pushed up in

367
00:16:10,560 --> 00:16:12,520
Speaker 2: the lineup if there's injuries. I mean, there's a lot

368
00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:15,280
Speaker 2: of possibilities with him and his position eligibility is really

369
00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:16,880
Speaker 2: going to help, and he might get some more spots

370
00:16:16,880 --> 00:16:17,560
Speaker 2: with the Yankees.

371
00:16:18,520 --> 00:16:21,040
Speaker 1: One year deal for Nelson Cruz for the Nationals. This

372
00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:23,280
Speaker 1: makes sense to me, Guys, because if you're the Nationals,

373
00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:25,760
Speaker 1: you give Soto some support there for a few months,

374
00:16:25,760 --> 00:16:28,040
Speaker 1: and then you trade them off and basically you spent

375
00:16:28,160 --> 00:16:30,160
Speaker 1: money to get prospects, right, I mean Welsh that that's

376
00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:31,720
Speaker 1: pretty much what his cruise deal is, isn't it?

377
00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:34,440
Speaker 2: Well? I mean, I think on paper for US is

378
00:16:34,440 --> 00:16:37,360
Speaker 2: what it looks like. But he mentioned that the reason

379
00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:40,000
Speaker 2: he came here was because he was sold maybe a

380
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:42,240
Speaker 2: bill of goods, but he was sold that the team

381
00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:45,080
Speaker 2: still plans to make more moves, that they still plan

382
00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:47,800
Speaker 2: to make this team competitive. And I know, yeah, I

383
00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:51,160
Speaker 2: could see that. Oh that that's smug, like I right, like,

384
00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:54,320
Speaker 2: look that you just give er. But I would say

385
00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:57,360
Speaker 2: this though, so many more of the fringe teams are

386
00:16:58,160 --> 00:17:00,160
Speaker 2: that's a really good roberts Niro. By the way, that

387
00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:02,480
Speaker 2: looks like Facebook Robert D. Niro. If there was ever

388
00:17:02,520 --> 00:17:05,720
Speaker 2: a reason besides my baseball ism, Ken Griffy eight bit

389
00:17:05,800 --> 00:17:08,840
Speaker 2: hat to look at is Joe's de Niro face right now.

390
00:17:08,840 --> 00:17:13,720
Speaker 2: But the fringe teams in each division are more palatable

391
00:17:13,720 --> 00:17:17,159
Speaker 2: to potentially jump into the playoffs now with expanded that.

392
00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:19,280
Speaker 2: I don't think the Nationals, I don't think it's silly,

393
00:17:19,320 --> 00:17:21,639
Speaker 2: it's regardless of us looking at the dumb roster, but

394
00:17:21,680 --> 00:17:23,199
Speaker 2: look at the pitching that they have. This is a

395
00:17:23,240 --> 00:17:25,960
Speaker 2: team that is kind of pot committed to make a

396
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:28,360
Speaker 2: stab at it unless they can unload. And guess what

397
00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:29,880
Speaker 2: they showed us, They're not going to take a stab

398
00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:32,040
Speaker 2: at it because they signed Nelson Cruz. I think they

399
00:17:32,119 --> 00:17:33,520
Speaker 2: still got a bullet or two to make, and I

400
00:17:33,560 --> 00:17:34,920
Speaker 2: think they're going to make a run. So you say

401
00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:37,879
Speaker 2: trade candidate. If they lose and Corbyn is back to

402
00:17:37,920 --> 00:17:41,560
Speaker 2: two pitches and both unsuccessful and Strasbourg back on the

403
00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:44,480
Speaker 2: il okay, Yeah, then Cruz is absolutely going to get

404
00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:47,119
Speaker 2: probably slung over to the Padres or something like that.

405
00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:49,480
Speaker 2: But I don't know. Nelson Cruz's words to me make

406
00:17:49,520 --> 00:17:52,120
Speaker 2: it seem like he's going to be there for a bit,

407
00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:53,000
Speaker 2: and I like the move.

408
00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:56,320
Speaker 1: All right, Frank, We've got left handed pitcher Carlos for

409
00:17:56,440 --> 00:17:59,639
Speaker 1: Don saying a two year deal with the excuse me,

410
00:17:59,800 --> 00:18:01,520
Speaker 1: your Giants. I've been in football all day, the San

411
00:18:01,520 --> 00:18:06,199
Speaker 1: Francisco Giants for forty four million dollars. So obviously a

412
00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:08,879
Speaker 1: spectacular season for Carlos, wrote Don last year, especially the

413
00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:12,080
Speaker 1: first half, it was actually fantastic. Then a little bit

414
00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:14,800
Speaker 1: of miss time, a little bit of regression, which was

415
00:18:14,880 --> 00:18:16,880
Speaker 1: going to happen because he was so far off the chart.

416
00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:19,679
Speaker 1: And this is what I struggle with, Frank, because the

417
00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:21,520
Speaker 1: Giants have had a really good history of plucking some

418
00:18:21,560 --> 00:18:25,280
Speaker 1: of these guys and them continuing or having success there

419
00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:27,280
Speaker 1: for the first time. So does the fact that the

420
00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:31,000
Speaker 1: Giants went after him and that group specifically give you

421
00:18:31,320 --> 00:18:35,280
Speaker 1: cautious optimism for his value this year and maybe beyond.

422
00:18:36,040 --> 00:18:39,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, So I actually really like the circumstances here for Carlsurdan,

423
00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:41,360
Speaker 4: not only signing with the San Francisco Giants, they've done

424
00:18:41,359 --> 00:18:42,120
Speaker 4: great work with.

425
00:18:42,560 --> 00:18:45,480
Speaker 3: Really not just pitchers but hitters as well.

426
00:18:45,520 --> 00:18:47,600
Speaker 4: I mean, they've just done fantastic the past couple of

427
00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:51,120
Speaker 4: years with Brandon Crawford and Eva Longoria and Brandon Belt

428
00:18:51,119 --> 00:18:53,480
Speaker 4: and Buster Posey getting as much as they can under

429
00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:57,240
Speaker 4: those guys, but most recently Kevin Gosman Drew Smiley was

430
00:18:57,280 --> 00:18:58,920
Speaker 4: really good there as well. They got a lot out

431
00:18:58,920 --> 00:19:01,920
Speaker 4: of Alex Wood, and now Carlos Hordan jumps into the mix.

432
00:19:02,040 --> 00:19:04,679
Speaker 3: I love the contract that they gave him to me.

433
00:19:04,840 --> 00:19:06,800
Speaker 4: That was more than anything else here is the fact

434
00:19:06,800 --> 00:19:10,200
Speaker 4: that they were okay committing forty four million dollars over

435
00:19:10,280 --> 00:19:13,440
Speaker 4: two years when he wasn't even given the qualifying offer

436
00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:15,680
Speaker 4: by the Chicago White Sox. So I always found that

437
00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:18,199
Speaker 4: curious the White Fox didn't give it to him. And

438
00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:20,600
Speaker 4: then another team goes out and what I consider a

439
00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:22,879
Speaker 4: pretty smart team in the San Francisco Giants, they go

440
00:19:22,880 --> 00:19:25,520
Speaker 4: out and to give him two years in each year

441
00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:28,120
Speaker 4: is worth more than that qualifying offer. And on top

442
00:19:28,160 --> 00:19:30,400
Speaker 4: of that, he was just ridiculous last year. So there's

443
00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:31,840
Speaker 4: a lot of moving parts here. He dealt with the

444
00:19:31,840 --> 00:19:34,159
Speaker 4: shoulder injury. It's been an issue for him. You know,

445
00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:37,359
Speaker 4: all throughout his career, velocity was down. Over his final

446
00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:39,479
Speaker 4: four Stars, he was like down at like ninety two

447
00:19:39,520 --> 00:19:41,240
Speaker 4: to ninety three, whereas for most of the season he

448
00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:42,200
Speaker 4: was around ninety six.

449
00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:43,320
Speaker 3: I'm with you, Joe.

450
00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:44,960
Speaker 4: I mean, he's a tough one for me to figure out.

451
00:19:45,080 --> 00:19:47,800
Speaker 4: I've been much lower on him basically all off season.

452
00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:50,760
Speaker 4: I have moved him up, but not enough. I think

453
00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:52,560
Speaker 4: people there's always going to be someone in a draft

454
00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:55,159
Speaker 4: who likes Carlos Horddan more than me, and as a result,

455
00:19:55,280 --> 00:19:56,760
Speaker 4: I'm probably not going to wind up with a lot

456
00:19:56,800 --> 00:19:57,680
Speaker 4: of them.

457
00:19:57,960 --> 00:20:01,320
Speaker 1: Clayton Kershaw goes back to the Dodgers one year seventeen million.

458
00:20:01,560 --> 00:20:04,000
Speaker 1: It's important for the Dodgers too and Welsh. This also

459
00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:05,840
Speaker 1: feels like, as we get the Trevor Bower news that

460
00:20:05,840 --> 00:20:09,080
Speaker 1: there's gonna be an investigation there, this seemed like just

461
00:20:09,119 --> 00:20:11,080
Speaker 1: a smart thing for all parties to come to an

462
00:20:11,080 --> 00:20:13,240
Speaker 1: agreement there. What are your thoughts on Kershaw this year

463
00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:15,680
Speaker 1: in terms of I know, last year you were somebody

464
00:20:15,720 --> 00:20:17,680
Speaker 1: that I remember talking to that was, you know, very

465
00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:21,000
Speaker 1: pro drafting Kershaw. I was still on the fence about it.

466
00:20:21,080 --> 00:20:23,080
Speaker 1: So are you ready to go down that well again

467
00:20:23,119 --> 00:20:23,520
Speaker 1: this year?

468
00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:26,760
Speaker 2: Yeah? Absolutely. I think this is one of the best

469
00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:29,320
Speaker 2: case scenarios you could possibly have. It's a situation for

470
00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:31,920
Speaker 2: lots of wins. It's a team he's familiar with, there's

471
00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:35,359
Speaker 2: no transitional period. It's a great offense still to be seen.

472
00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:37,920
Speaker 2: If they are going to spend more. You don't love

473
00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:40,680
Speaker 2: that the Dodgers, well you can look at it both ways.

474
00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:43,560
Speaker 2: Doesn't say you don't love that the Dodgers might occasionally

475
00:20:43,560 --> 00:20:45,639
Speaker 2: throw in a six man rotation or a deep bullpen

476
00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:47,520
Speaker 2: or something like that, but actually works in favor of

477
00:20:47,520 --> 00:20:50,159
Speaker 2: a guy like Kershaw. You know, you don't have to

478
00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:53,120
Speaker 2: hate the idea of him having an occasional start skipped

479
00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:55,840
Speaker 2: or you know, maybe him going only five or something

480
00:20:55,880 --> 00:20:57,600
Speaker 2: like that, because you want him to be clean, you

481
00:20:57,680 --> 00:20:59,359
Speaker 2: want him to be healthy, and you want to be

482
00:20:59,359 --> 00:21:01,200
Speaker 2: able to make through me. Can you really count past

483
00:21:01,240 --> 00:21:04,120
Speaker 2: one fifty? I think it's the best case scenario when

484
00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:06,119
Speaker 2: he pitches. And this is like a big key for me.

485
00:21:06,200 --> 00:21:08,320
Speaker 2: With a lot of guys, I know, we get bogged

486
00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:10,000
Speaker 2: down and we kind of say the same things. We're like, oh,

487
00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:12,479
Speaker 2: the guys, you know, blah blah blah, never gonna draft him.

488
00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:14,359
Speaker 2: You know, Jacob's grom just not gonna touch him, Never

489
00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:16,000
Speaker 2: gonna draft it, He's never gonna be healthy. We always

490
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:19,080
Speaker 2: do that stuff. But like when Kershaw is going, he's

491
00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:21,280
Speaker 2: one of the best. Now, if it's only for one

492
00:21:21,320 --> 00:21:22,840
Speaker 2: hundred and thirty innings and it gets you at a

493
00:21:22,840 --> 00:21:26,560
Speaker 2: critical time, that sucks. But guess what cost. It's a

494
00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:29,119
Speaker 2: beautiful cost right now. So I'm all for it. And

495
00:21:30,280 --> 00:21:32,800
Speaker 2: you know, I'm not really sure if it is like

496
00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:35,440
Speaker 2: dictating what's going on with Bauer that the Bower thing

497
00:21:35,480 --> 00:21:36,600
Speaker 2: is like continuously getting out.

498
00:21:36,600 --> 00:21:38,080
Speaker 1: Oh, I think if you're the Dodgers. You want to

499
00:21:38,080 --> 00:21:39,879
Speaker 1: cover yourself and make sure you have somebody in that

500
00:21:39,920 --> 00:21:42,200
Speaker 1: third spot in that rotation, because after the third spot

501
00:21:42,280 --> 00:21:45,920
Speaker 1: you've got guys you're you're optimistic about that. You hope

502
00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:48,640
Speaker 1: things go well, but you're not exactly sold on everybody

503
00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:50,919
Speaker 1: there at four and five. So I think every rotation

504
00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:52,239
Speaker 1: is like that. I mean the Mets are like that.

505
00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:55,200
Speaker 1: And when speaking of the Mets, you're talking about Creton Kershaw,

506
00:21:55,240 --> 00:21:57,520
Speaker 1: who is number thirty eight overall in terms of pitchers

507
00:21:57,520 --> 00:21:59,800
Speaker 1: on Fantasy Pros. Thirty seven is Chris Bassett, who is

508
00:21:59,840 --> 00:22:03,120
Speaker 1: now New York Met, part of the Oakland jettising of players.

509
00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:05,960
Speaker 1: So this is another really important one because of the

510
00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:09,160
Speaker 1: Jacob deGrom potential health issues right that are looming over

511
00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:11,919
Speaker 1: everyone who drafts him this year. Max Schurz are at

512
00:22:11,920 --> 00:22:13,800
Speaker 1: the top of that rotation with him is great, but really,

513
00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:17,240
Speaker 1: you know, you had a knee surgery for Taiwan Walker,

514
00:22:17,280 --> 00:22:19,880
Speaker 1: he had, Carls Carrasco was not healthy all year last year.

515
00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:23,760
Speaker 1: So getting somebody to stabilize this rotation, I mean to me,

516
00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:26,520
Speaker 1: Chris Bassett is a slam dunk last year one hundred

517
00:22:26,520 --> 00:22:28,880
Speaker 1: and fifty seven innings. He had twelve wins, one hundred

518
00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:31,240
Speaker 1: and fifty nine ks, thirty nine walks, three fifteen ERA,

519
00:22:31,359 --> 00:22:33,160
Speaker 1: a one zero six whip. Frank, what do you think

520
00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:35,399
Speaker 1: of this Chris Bassett addition to that Mets rotation.

521
00:22:36,440 --> 00:22:39,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, so overall, I think he's annually undervalued. He's got

522
00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:41,280
Speaker 4: a three point two to three ERA since the start

523
00:22:41,320 --> 00:22:45,000
Speaker 4: of twenty eighteen, that is fifteenth among qualified starting pitchers.

524
00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:47,040
Speaker 4: But you dig a little bit deeper and you look

525
00:22:47,040 --> 00:22:49,680
Speaker 4: at the career splits, and I kind of worry about

526
00:22:49,720 --> 00:22:52,800
Speaker 4: Chris Bassett. Not that he's moving to a much worse ballpark,

527
00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:55,320
Speaker 4: but Oco really is one of the best places to

528
00:22:55,400 --> 00:22:58,160
Speaker 4: pitch in baseball. So in his career a two point

529
00:22:58,200 --> 00:23:00,880
Speaker 4: five to eight ERA in Oakland, a four point three

530
00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:03,520
Speaker 4: four e RA on the road. So again, another one

531
00:23:03,560 --> 00:23:06,080
Speaker 4: moving from the AL to the NL universal DH Now

532
00:23:06,119 --> 00:23:07,959
Speaker 4: I wonder if there's a bit of a transition period.

533
00:23:08,359 --> 00:23:11,119
Speaker 4: H I think he's fine where he's going, but you know,

534
00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:13,960
Speaker 4: much like he's going to stabilize the Mets rotation. I

535
00:23:14,040 --> 00:23:17,040
Speaker 4: think that's what you're relying on him to do in

536
00:23:17,040 --> 00:23:19,280
Speaker 4: in your fantasy rotation, right, and he's a stabilizer. I

537
00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:21,760
Speaker 4: don't think that he has like tremendous upside or anything. Uh,

538
00:23:21,760 --> 00:23:24,160
Speaker 4: he's fine. I worry a little bit about a transition

539
00:23:24,200 --> 00:23:25,040
Speaker 4: period for him as well.

540
00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:26,280
Speaker 2: Let me ask for who do you want?

541
00:23:26,359 --> 00:23:26,520
Speaker 1: Wait?

542
00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:28,480
Speaker 2: Wait, wait, Yeah, you're gonna do what I was gonna do.

543
00:23:28,560 --> 00:23:30,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm gonna do it. I'm gonna do it. You're

544
00:23:30,280 --> 00:23:32,560
Speaker 1: gonna do. Who do you want? Chris Bassett or Clayton Kershaw?

545
00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:34,520
Speaker 1: Ad let's go.

546
00:23:35,359 --> 00:23:38,840
Speaker 4: I will take the upside of Clayton Kershaw on a

547
00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:41,880
Speaker 4: per star basis. I still think he's better. Swinging trike

548
00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:43,800
Speaker 4: rate was the best of his career last year, Like

549
00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:48,080
Speaker 4: we're talking about a Hall of Famer like Perennial Cy

550
00:23:48,160 --> 00:23:50,960
Speaker 4: young contender and a swinging strike rate was actually the

551
00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:52,399
Speaker 4: best that it's ever been last year.

552
00:23:52,440 --> 00:23:53,880
Speaker 3: So I'll take him. But it's close.

553
00:23:54,680 --> 00:23:58,399
Speaker 1: It's funny, well because because if you look around, you know,

554
00:23:58,520 --> 00:24:01,040
Speaker 1: the e ra for Bassett was better, the strikeouts were

555
00:24:01,040 --> 00:24:03,919
Speaker 1: more because he threw more innings. But you're right, it

556
00:24:03,960 --> 00:24:05,920
Speaker 1: had to head. I think I would take Kershaw because

557
00:24:05,960 --> 00:24:08,320
Speaker 1: the start by start in Rodo. I think it's more

558
00:24:08,320 --> 00:24:10,639
Speaker 1: of a discussion. I'd probably take Kershaw. But I know

559
00:24:10,680 --> 00:24:12,080
Speaker 1: what you're doing Welsh, right, Yeah, no.

560
00:24:12,119 --> 00:24:14,440
Speaker 2: I mean I'm glad we were both like, well, it's

561
00:24:14,480 --> 00:24:16,280
Speaker 2: funny we have like three hosts here. We all have

562
00:24:16,320 --> 00:24:18,560
Speaker 2: that host mindset where I'm like, not, let me, let

563
00:24:18,640 --> 00:24:20,600
Speaker 2: me ask a question because it's one hundred percent what

564
00:24:20,640 --> 00:24:23,000
Speaker 2: I was gonna say is this is a really good one.

565
00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:26,080
Speaker 2: In my own personal ranks, I've got Kershaw a couple

566
00:24:26,320 --> 00:24:28,879
Speaker 2: sp spots higher than Bassett, and I like Bassett. I

567
00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:32,560
Speaker 2: like the destination again targeting, you know, especially boring pictures.

568
00:24:32,560 --> 00:24:35,040
Speaker 2: A lot of like these boring like Nathan Uvaldi, Charlie Moore.

569
00:24:35,080 --> 00:24:37,600
Speaker 2: These guys are boring, but they're really good for teams,

570
00:24:38,119 --> 00:24:41,680
Speaker 2: team construction, and Bassett is really good for that as well.

571
00:24:41,720 --> 00:24:43,440
Speaker 2: Going to a place where you're gonna be able to

572
00:24:43,480 --> 00:24:47,040
Speaker 2: stack on wins. But in both formats, I'm gonna take

573
00:24:47,040 --> 00:24:49,960
Speaker 2: Clayton Kershaw. You get the win format. He's also I

574
00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:52,160
Speaker 2: think one of just the best pitchers when he's on

575
00:24:52,840 --> 00:24:55,480
Speaker 2: health seems to be there. He was actually over at

576
00:24:55,560 --> 00:24:58,879
Speaker 2: the Players Association training facility out here in Mesa for

577
00:24:58,920 --> 00:25:01,280
Speaker 2: a couple of days, you know, getting some private work

578
00:25:01,280 --> 00:25:03,800
Speaker 2: in as well. Seems healthy. So it is Kershaw on

579
00:25:03,880 --> 00:25:06,560
Speaker 2: both friends for me. But I'm are we sweeping it, Joe? Yeah,

580
00:25:06,560 --> 00:25:07,440
Speaker 2: you said you're taking cursing.

581
00:25:08,400 --> 00:25:10,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know me. I'm a head to head dude.

582
00:25:10,080 --> 00:25:12,760
Speaker 1: I'll go for this season long stuff. Not for me.

583
00:25:13,160 --> 00:25:16,720
Speaker 1: I need more action. But look, I mean you're right.

584
00:25:16,760 --> 00:25:19,200
Speaker 1: Start by star Basis. He's playing Kershaw. He's all famer, right,

585
00:25:19,240 --> 00:25:21,760
Speaker 1: So I think that ADP is a little screw right now.

586
00:25:21,800 --> 00:25:24,000
Speaker 1: We'll see, We'll see how that changes things. Let's take

587

00:26:54,680 --> 00:26:57,240
Speaker 1: with spring trining on, not only come signings and there's

617
00:26:57,280 --> 00:26:59,680
Speaker 1: still a lot of the guys out there, but also

618
00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:03,960
Speaker 1: come injuries. So Zach Wheeler experiencing shoulder soreness during his

619
00:27:04,040 --> 00:27:06,880
Speaker 1: throwing program in December. All the way back there, Jack

620
00:27:06,920 --> 00:27:10,040
Speaker 1: Flaherty just got sent for medical evaluation on his right shoulder.

621
00:27:10,440 --> 00:27:13,560
Speaker 1: So Welsh, you want to take one of these? How

622
00:27:13,600 --> 00:27:16,199
Speaker 1: you feeling about some of these pitchers? I mean, this

623
00:27:16,320 --> 00:27:17,760
Speaker 1: is the thing. I almost feel like we're getting to

624
00:27:17,840 --> 00:27:20,520
Speaker 1: a point where it's zero SP is going to be

625
00:27:20,560 --> 00:27:23,520
Speaker 1: my new theory of drafting baseball teams, Like you know,

626
00:27:23,600 --> 00:27:26,119
Speaker 1: the zero RB theories got to drag itself over. But

627
00:27:26,160 --> 00:27:26,720
Speaker 1: what do you think?

628
00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:29,960
Speaker 2: Well? And also throwing Zach Gallen who Zach Gallon Allen

629
00:27:30,040 --> 00:27:31,639
Speaker 2: and another one the l issues which I think he

630
00:27:31,680 --> 00:27:34,480
Speaker 2: spoke on it today over at the Diamondbacks facility. You know,

631
00:27:35,359 --> 00:27:37,359
Speaker 2: I agree with you, But part of the thing I

632
00:27:37,400 --> 00:27:40,600
Speaker 2: don't like is that with what you're saying, like a

633
00:27:40,600 --> 00:27:42,680
Speaker 2: lot of the fun guys that you want to take

634
00:27:42,760 --> 00:27:44,320
Speaker 2: kind of on that back end, those are the ones

635
00:27:44,359 --> 00:27:46,440
Speaker 2: that seem to be struggling, like not Wheeler. Like Wheeler's

636
00:27:46,480 --> 00:27:48,480
Speaker 2: kind of the elite range, but Flerty has been a

637
00:27:48,520 --> 00:27:51,639
Speaker 2: really kind of popular one for me. When I start

638
00:27:51,680 --> 00:27:53,520
Speaker 2: to really want to dip into that picture range, like

639
00:27:53,560 --> 00:27:55,600
Speaker 2: he's there and it's like, oh, you know top sp

640
00:27:55,760 --> 00:27:58,200
Speaker 2: one upside, Now you take him off the board one

641
00:27:58,359 --> 00:28:01,680
Speaker 2: thousand percent. Gallon is one of those guys as well.

642
00:28:02,920 --> 00:28:05,359
Speaker 2: This is just a funny anecdotal thing. But you know,

643
00:28:05,440 --> 00:28:07,639
Speaker 2: I love like I love to draft Blake Snell and

644
00:28:07,680 --> 00:28:10,399
Speaker 2: I also do my impersonation of him. Oh man, I

645
00:28:10,440 --> 00:28:13,520
Speaker 2: got to get paid. This is Blake Snell here. I

646
00:28:13,560 --> 00:28:20,360
Speaker 2: saw him yesterday two days ago at Padres Qadre Yo

647
00:28:20,520 --> 00:28:22,760
Speaker 2: Joey p I got, I swear to god, he talked

648
00:28:22,800 --> 00:28:24,800
Speaker 2: like this yesterday. He's like, oh man, I gotta go

649
00:28:24,920 --> 00:28:27,240
Speaker 2: back in the inside. So he's coming back, and so

650
00:28:27,359 --> 00:28:29,120
Speaker 2: I wanted to talk to him and he just got

651
00:28:29,160 --> 00:28:31,880
Speaker 2: done throw and he goes, oh man, I gotta go inside.

652
00:28:31,960 --> 00:28:33,959
Speaker 2: I'm hot. I got hot out here. And he went

653
00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:36,000
Speaker 2: inside because he was warm, and I was just like,

654
00:28:36,359 --> 00:28:39,040
Speaker 2: come on, Blake, you're warm. You're warm in Arizona. Like

655
00:28:39,280 --> 00:28:40,840
Speaker 2: I don't want to give him a soft rating or

656
00:28:40,840 --> 00:28:43,640
Speaker 2: anything like that, but I like Blake. But beside the point,

657
00:28:43,880 --> 00:28:46,160
Speaker 2: guys like Gallon and Flairty, those are targets. Those are

658
00:28:46,200 --> 00:28:48,400
Speaker 2: targets that I want. And now that you're getting, you know,

659
00:28:48,560 --> 00:28:51,400
Speaker 2: we're getting the repercussions of the lockout, where players couldn't

660
00:28:51,400 --> 00:28:53,720
Speaker 2: speak to any of their trainers, they couldn't speak with

661
00:28:53,760 --> 00:28:56,440
Speaker 2: the organization to go through. I mean, Tatisa is another

662
00:28:56,440 --> 00:28:58,800
Speaker 2: example of that that I do worry a little bit

663
00:28:58,880 --> 00:29:02,000
Speaker 2: overall on pitching. As we've been pumping them up. How

664
00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:04,280
Speaker 2: many more guys you know, over the next week, how

665
00:29:04,280 --> 00:29:05,600
Speaker 2: many more guys are we going to get? Like, oh,

666
00:29:05,640 --> 00:29:08,200
Speaker 2: little sore arm over here, a little thing over here

667
00:29:08,560 --> 00:29:10,920
Speaker 2: that I don't know if I've decided is that a

668
00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:14,320
Speaker 2: punt sp strategy or is that, oh my god, cling

669
00:29:14,440 --> 00:29:17,240
Speaker 2: to the top guys, similar to what you're doing with closers,

670
00:29:17,520 --> 00:29:21,240
Speaker 2: cling to the guys that you know right now, sans Wheeler,

671
00:29:21,640 --> 00:29:24,280
Speaker 2: and then try not to dip your toes too far in,

672
00:29:24,680 --> 00:29:26,440
Speaker 2: you know, to like, Oh, I'm gonna build my rotation

673
00:29:26,480 --> 00:29:28,880
Speaker 2: about all these other guys, and you're going to get Darvish,

674
00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:32,960
Speaker 2: Kershaw and Gallon and then you're gonna have absolutely nobody

675
00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:35,400
Speaker 2: pitching for you in June. So I don't know, I'm

676
00:29:35,400 --> 00:29:36,760
Speaker 2: not sure if I'm gonna punt.

677
00:29:37,280 --> 00:29:39,920
Speaker 1: Frank, how scared you specifically have Wheeler two? Because last

678
00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:41,840
Speaker 1: year was the big breakout. Now you got to pay

679
00:29:41,840 --> 00:29:44,280
Speaker 1: the premium. So he is being drafted as a top

680
00:29:44,280 --> 00:29:46,360
Speaker 1: guy because he performed like a top guy last year,

681
00:29:46,800 --> 00:29:48,920
Speaker 1: even though the track record has told you he's up

682
00:29:48,960 --> 00:29:50,520
Speaker 1: and down for his career. Now you throw in a

683
00:29:50,560 --> 00:29:53,200
Speaker 1: potential shoulder issue. What does that do to his draft stock?

684
00:29:54,200 --> 00:29:56,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, so I lowered him from I had him as

685
00:29:56,080 --> 00:29:58,560
Speaker 4: my SP four and I moved him down to SP twelve,

686
00:29:58,720 --> 00:30:01,960
Speaker 4: so just behind Lucas Shilito and Aaron Nola.

687
00:30:02,080 --> 00:30:03,320
Speaker 3: It might be an overreaction.

688
00:30:03,440 --> 00:30:06,280
Speaker 4: I saw that he threw a bullpen yesterday and then

689
00:30:06,480 --> 00:30:09,840
Speaker 4: curiously enough, you know we're doing this Tuesday, March fifteenth. Uh,

690
00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:12,160
Speaker 4: they came out and said that now he's the flu,

691
00:30:12,320 --> 00:30:13,720
Speaker 4: so he's not gonna throw his next bullpen.

692
00:30:13,840 --> 00:30:14,960
Speaker 3: So I don't know, it seems a little.

693
00:30:15,040 --> 00:30:17,040
Speaker 1: He's got the flu in his shoulder. That's the problem.

694
00:30:17,360 --> 00:30:20,080
Speaker 3: That sale a couple of years ago.

695
00:30:20,080 --> 00:30:21,760
Speaker 4: Remember he was like sick and then oh he needed

696
00:30:21,760 --> 00:30:23,000
Speaker 4: Tommy John like a week later.

697
00:30:23,040 --> 00:30:24,440
Speaker 3: Oh that's funny how that worked out.

698
00:30:24,960 --> 00:30:27,239
Speaker 1: I had the same thing. I think, Well, you remember, right,

699
00:30:27,280 --> 00:30:29,200
Speaker 1: I had a stuffy nose. The next thing you do,

700
00:30:29,280 --> 00:30:31,600
Speaker 1: I had a complete acl redo.

701
00:30:31,680 --> 00:30:34,040
Speaker 2: That's that You're like, You're like, oh, yeah, I had

702
00:30:34,040 --> 00:30:35,960
Speaker 2: some sniffles and then I broke my foot, and You're like,

703
00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:37,120
Speaker 2: what what's the correlation?

704
00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:39,000
Speaker 3: Who let me?

705
00:30:39,240 --> 00:30:42,200
Speaker 2: So you said you have forgive Wheeler at twelve yep,

706
00:30:42,640 --> 00:30:43,880
Speaker 2: is you have Bieber ahead.

707
00:30:44,760 --> 00:30:49,120
Speaker 4: I have Bieber ahead of him, Sanduel Contra, Julio Rias, Lucasgilito,

708
00:30:49,240 --> 00:30:50,000
Speaker 4: and Aaron Nola.

709
00:30:50,160 --> 00:30:52,600
Speaker 3: So met like the three four turn in a twelve

710
00:30:52,600 --> 00:30:53,120
Speaker 3: team league.

711
00:30:53,240 --> 00:30:57,160
Speaker 2: So how far off, and especially with some of the

712
00:30:57,200 --> 00:31:00,320
Speaker 2: new news would you consider? Right he is rob Ray

713
00:31:00,360 --> 00:31:02,520
Speaker 2: in that category. I'm just curious, like, is Robbie Ray

714
00:31:02,560 --> 00:31:04,640
Speaker 2: in that range where you go, there's too much fear

715
00:31:05,280 --> 00:31:08,480
Speaker 2: with Wheeler right now that Ray in Seattle might be

716
00:31:09,120 --> 00:31:10,160
Speaker 2: a better bet.

717
00:31:10,360 --> 00:31:12,480
Speaker 4: So he is the very next starting pitcher that I

718
00:31:12,480 --> 00:31:14,920
Speaker 4: have behind Zach Wheeler. And to me, that was like

719
00:31:14,920 --> 00:31:17,800
Speaker 4: the cutoff where I'm still willing to take the risk,

720
00:31:18,040 --> 00:31:20,280
Speaker 4: the health risk with Zach Wheeler because I think that

721
00:31:20,320 --> 00:31:22,520
Speaker 4: there's a bunch of just overall risk with Robbie Ray

722
00:31:22,560 --> 00:31:22,880
Speaker 4: as well.

723
00:31:23,600 --> 00:31:26,080
Speaker 1: Not me. Give me Robbie Ray all day over Zach

724
00:31:26,080 --> 00:31:28,560
Speaker 1: Wheeler right now. I am. I am content. I did it.

725
00:31:28,600 --> 00:31:30,920
Speaker 1: In the last Mock Draft episode, if you remember Welsh,

726
00:31:31,040 --> 00:31:33,240
Speaker 1: I was like, I'm good, let's go. Robbie Ray could

727
00:31:33,240 --> 00:31:36,040
Speaker 1: be my dude. I'm I'm away from pitching.

728
00:31:35,800 --> 00:31:36,960
Speaker 2: You like those typererrys?

729
00:31:37,000 --> 00:31:40,920
Speaker 1: I know I do, got those tight pants on. All right.

730
00:31:40,960 --> 00:31:43,880
Speaker 1: A couple other things to talk about before we shift

731
00:31:43,880 --> 00:31:46,400
Speaker 1: gears to the draft day bargains, and we'll get to

732
00:31:46,440 --> 00:31:48,360
Speaker 1: those guys in second half of the show as promised.

733
00:31:48,680 --> 00:31:50,920
Speaker 1: So no more ten day, I l It's going to

734
00:31:51,000 --> 00:31:53,640
Speaker 1: be the fifteen day again, which I think is important. Welsh,

735
00:31:53,920 --> 00:31:57,480
Speaker 1: How does that impact in your opinion transactions now because

736
00:31:57,800 --> 00:31:59,960
Speaker 1: we all thought, oh great, this is gonna be a

737
00:32:00,080 --> 00:32:03,440
Speaker 1: saving grace for baseball. We're gonna get guys back faster. No, no, no,

738
00:32:03,480 --> 00:32:06,160
Speaker 1: what happened was just everybody went to the il all

739
00:32:06,160 --> 00:32:08,480
Speaker 1: the time. Now that we're pushing it back to the fifteen,

740
00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:11,200
Speaker 1: are we going to get a better version of fantasy

741
00:32:11,240 --> 00:32:11,760
Speaker 1: because of that?

742
00:32:12,560 --> 00:32:15,160
Speaker 2: Oh boy? I mean, I don't know if that's necessarily

743
00:32:15,200 --> 00:32:16,960
Speaker 2: going to be the case. I think you're gonna have

744
00:32:17,040 --> 00:32:19,960
Speaker 2: similar arguments now. Okay to one thing I just thought

745
00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:22,480
Speaker 2: about is they are so limiting calling up and down.

746
00:32:22,520 --> 00:32:25,600
Speaker 2: There's not you can't do the Oliveris thing where you

747
00:32:25,640 --> 00:32:27,760
Speaker 2: have three hundred and forty seven call ups in a

748
00:32:27,800 --> 00:32:30,800
Speaker 2: season you're gonna be restricted to like five. So maybe

749
00:32:31,120 --> 00:32:33,960
Speaker 2: if you take that on top of like really need

750
00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:37,000
Speaker 2: to be discerning the iel stints, it actually could a

751
00:32:37,040 --> 00:32:39,200
Speaker 2: little bit more. The only thing I worry about is

752
00:32:39,520 --> 00:32:42,440
Speaker 2: you've got, you know, less of a spring that, especially

753
00:32:42,440 --> 00:32:44,840
Speaker 2: maybe early on. I don't feel like that's necessarily going

754
00:32:44,920 --> 00:32:46,960
Speaker 2: to be the case. I think teams are going to

755
00:32:46,960 --> 00:32:49,880
Speaker 2: play it very saferly on. If there's anything lingering, I

756
00:32:49,880 --> 00:32:52,160
Speaker 2: think they're gonna throw guys out. You've got your minor

757
00:32:52,200 --> 00:32:54,520
Speaker 2: leaguers that can come up. I'm just not sure you're

758
00:32:54,560 --> 00:32:56,640
Speaker 2: going to see a better fantasy early. I think the

759
00:32:56,720 --> 00:33:00,480
Speaker 2: opportunity for a better fantasy game is in the back

760
00:33:00,520 --> 00:33:03,160
Speaker 2: half of the year, as the playoff stretch comes in.

761
00:33:03,400 --> 00:33:06,840
Speaker 2: There's more teams that are available to go call ups

762
00:33:06,880 --> 00:33:09,720
Speaker 2: and call and senddowns. Might be at a limited point

763
00:33:10,000 --> 00:33:11,760
Speaker 2: that I think that's the point where teams are going

764
00:33:11,800 --> 00:33:14,080
Speaker 2: to be very discerning about il stons. But I'd also

765
00:33:14,120 --> 00:33:16,120
Speaker 2: throw out, like, how much is it going to piss

766
00:33:16,120 --> 00:33:17,440
Speaker 2: you off if a team doesn't want to put a

767
00:33:17,480 --> 00:33:19,680
Speaker 2: guy on a IL and they skip a start because

768
00:33:19,680 --> 00:33:21,120
Speaker 2: he can't pitch because he's hurt, But they don't want

769
00:33:21,120 --> 00:33:22,680
Speaker 2: to put on the il for fifteen days, and now

770
00:33:22,680 --> 00:33:25,560
Speaker 2: all of a sudden you can't even do a pickup.

771
00:33:25,720 --> 00:33:28,280
Speaker 2: So consider that where if a team like let's say

772
00:33:28,320 --> 00:33:30,280
Speaker 2: let's just say cursh Off for example, you know he's

773
00:33:30,320 --> 00:33:31,760
Speaker 2: got a little lingering thing, but they're like, we don't

774
00:33:31,760 --> 00:33:33,160
Speaker 2: want to lose him for two weeks. We just want

775
00:33:33,160 --> 00:33:35,479
Speaker 2: to push the start out. So instead of where before

776
00:33:35,880 --> 00:33:38,360
Speaker 2: il stent you get a free guy for ten days,

777
00:33:38,560 --> 00:33:40,560
Speaker 2: now you won't because they don't want to do that.

778
00:33:40,680 --> 00:33:42,080
Speaker 2: So you know, it can go both ways.

779
00:33:42,680 --> 00:33:45,400
Speaker 1: These are the important conversations we're having here. Another one too,

780
00:33:45,520 --> 00:33:48,600
Speaker 1: is Toronto right now, if you're not vaccinated, you can't

781
00:33:48,600 --> 00:33:51,640
Speaker 1: go play. Also, I just saw this come around too

782
00:33:51,680 --> 00:33:54,120
Speaker 1: on Vaccined players from the Yankees and Mets would not

783
00:33:54,120 --> 00:33:56,720
Speaker 1: be eligible to play home games under the current COVID

784
00:33:56,800 --> 00:33:59,760
Speaker 1: nineteen rules in New York City. Now those rules could change,

785
00:33:59,800 --> 00:34:02,560
Speaker 1: but Frank, as of right now, that seems like kind

786
00:34:02,560 --> 00:34:04,840
Speaker 1: of a big deal to me. How about you trying

787
00:34:04,840 --> 00:34:06,479
Speaker 1: to make your fancy lineup. Don't you kind of need

788
00:34:06,520 --> 00:34:07,920
Speaker 1: those guys? Dude?

789
00:34:08,080 --> 00:34:08,799
Speaker 3: What a mess?

790
00:34:08,840 --> 00:34:08,960
Speaker 1: You know.

791
00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:11,040
Speaker 3: I'm wearing my TGFBI shirt right now.

792
00:34:11,239 --> 00:34:14,080
Speaker 4: And recently wrapped up the draft and I think two

793
00:34:14,080 --> 00:34:17,040
Speaker 4: of my first three picks for Fernando Tatis and Aaron Judge.

794
00:34:17,200 --> 00:34:20,600
Speaker 4: So just a complete mess of a situation. And you

795
00:34:20,600 --> 00:34:22,520
Speaker 4: know it's developing right now. We'll see what happens.

796
00:34:22,560 --> 00:34:22,759
Speaker 3: I mean.

797
00:34:22,760 --> 00:34:25,520
Speaker 4: There was another report that, uh, they the teams believe

798
00:34:25,600 --> 00:34:28,160
Speaker 4: that this will be quote handled, the situation will be

799
00:34:28,200 --> 00:34:29,799
Speaker 4: handled by opening day, which is.

800
00:34:30,040 --> 00:34:32,319
Speaker 1: That also makes me want to make Robert de Niro face.

801
00:34:32,400 --> 00:34:34,400
Speaker 2: That sounds like New York like that sounds like a

802
00:34:34,440 --> 00:34:37,120
Speaker 2: manhandling the mofiel, Like, yeah, yeah, I handle this. When

803
00:34:37,120 --> 00:34:38,840
Speaker 2: I handle this COVID vaccine stuff.

804
00:34:38,920 --> 00:34:43,439
Speaker 1: Let's go, Joey, we'll talk about me work it out.

805
00:34:43,880 --> 00:34:46,120
Speaker 4: The problem is like there was a there was a

806
00:34:46,200 --> 00:34:49,520
Speaker 4: video someone asked Aaron Judge today if he was vaccinated

807
00:34:49,760 --> 00:34:53,040
Speaker 4: and his answer was like it's a yes or no question,

808
00:34:53,080 --> 00:34:54,439
Speaker 4: and he just kind of like beat around the bush

809
00:34:54,440 --> 00:34:56,200
Speaker 4: and he's like, oh, you know, we'll handle it, you

810
00:34:56,200 --> 00:34:56,440
Speaker 4: know what.

811
00:34:56,600 --> 00:34:58,120
Speaker 1: Look, I think we've all learned. I don't want to

812
00:34:58,120 --> 00:35:00,000
Speaker 1: make there's not a political show here. I'm just saying

813
00:35:00,680 --> 00:35:02,880
Speaker 1: this is important to talk about from a fancy perspective,

814
00:35:02,880 --> 00:35:05,799
Speaker 1: because if you can't play Aaron Judge because if let's

815
00:35:05,840 --> 00:35:07,520
Speaker 1: just use him as an example. If he's not right,

816
00:35:07,520 --> 00:35:08,920
Speaker 1: this is the easy question. If he asked me and

817
00:35:08,920 --> 00:35:10,440
Speaker 1: I say, yes, I am right, it's very easy. And

818
00:35:10,480 --> 00:35:13,000
Speaker 1: I have no one who hems in Hawes. Typically they

819
00:35:13,040 --> 00:35:14,840
Speaker 1: either don't want to have a conversation about it for

820
00:35:14,880 --> 00:35:16,760
Speaker 1: one reason or other, they don't want to stir up something,

821
00:35:17,000 --> 00:35:20,320
Speaker 1: or they're not so if I can't play Aaron Judge,

822
00:35:20,840 --> 00:35:23,400
Speaker 1: I agree, I think it's going to be handled. But

823
00:35:23,400 --> 00:35:26,080
Speaker 1: it's certainly something right now that under the current rules,

824
00:35:26,120 --> 00:35:28,120
Speaker 1: it's something we have to talk about because they've got

825
00:35:28,120 --> 00:35:29,759
Speaker 1: have a huge impact, especially in Ina. Some of those

826
00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:33,600
Speaker 1: daily transaction leagues try to move guys all over the place.

827
00:35:33,800 --> 00:35:36,440
Speaker 2: I think I heard Geo wasn't Gee or or Sella

828
00:35:36,600 --> 00:35:38,279
Speaker 2: and then he just got traded. You got to wonder like,

829
00:35:38,320 --> 00:35:40,520
Speaker 2: did that play a little bit of a role and

830
00:35:40,640 --> 00:35:40,960
Speaker 2: that is.

831
00:35:41,080 --> 00:35:45,320
Speaker 1: I doubt it, but it's not impossible. It's not impossible. Also,

832
00:35:45,360 --> 00:35:47,840
Speaker 1: we have to use insider. Chris Welsh was at the

833
00:35:47,840 --> 00:35:50,960
Speaker 1: field today. He's got some breaking news. He tweeted it earlier.

834
00:35:51,040 --> 00:35:53,200
Speaker 1: But you've got a guy a prospect of the White

835
00:35:53,200 --> 00:35:55,880
Speaker 1: Sox working out a different position. So this is why

836
00:35:55,960 --> 00:35:58,080
Speaker 1: we love having Welsh on the show. You know, he

837
00:35:58,200 --> 00:36:00,440
Speaker 1: is Ken Rosenthal without the bowt t or.

838
00:36:00,560 --> 00:36:01,200
Speaker 2: Or maybe he does.

839
00:36:01,239 --> 00:36:03,080
Speaker 1: I don't know. I haven't seen you could pull off

840
00:36:03,120 --> 00:36:05,960
Speaker 1: the boat tie. I think a lot of you think

841
00:36:05,960 --> 00:36:08,760
Speaker 1: Welsh could pull off the boat tie. I think good.

842
00:36:10,360 --> 00:36:12,200
Speaker 2: You know what, I'll try it sometime if someone wants

843
00:36:12,200 --> 00:36:14,439
Speaker 2: to send me a bow tie, like, I'll pub some coming.

844
00:36:14,640 --> 00:36:16,440
Speaker 2: Like I wish I could pull more things off, like

845
00:36:16,560 --> 00:36:18,520
Speaker 2: I barely think I can pull off hats like I've

846
00:36:18,520 --> 00:36:20,640
Speaker 2: tried cowboy hats. It's awful. I don't think I'm a

847
00:36:20,800 --> 00:36:22,160
Speaker 2: pull off type of guy.

848
00:36:22,040 --> 00:36:24,839
Speaker 1: But boy hats. No baseball cap yet it's bow ties. Yes,

849
00:36:24,920 --> 00:36:26,000
Speaker 1: I think we can agree on that.

850
00:36:26,040 --> 00:36:28,480
Speaker 3: I did I give us.

851
00:36:28,400 --> 00:36:30,239
Speaker 1: The inside scoop because we might have a guy who

852
00:36:30,239 --> 00:36:32,959
Speaker 1: I don't say changing positions, but maybe might be getting

853
00:36:32,960 --> 00:36:34,160
Speaker 1: a look to spring in a position.

854
00:36:34,480 --> 00:36:34,719
Speaker 2: Maybe.

855
00:36:34,760 --> 00:36:34,920
Speaker 1: Yeah.

856
00:36:34,960 --> 00:36:36,919
Speaker 2: So I was over at the White Sox facility today.

857
00:36:36,960 --> 00:36:38,839
Speaker 2: I got to see Chris Rose by the way now

858
00:36:38,880 --> 00:36:40,400
Speaker 2: with John Boy Media and talk with him for a

859
00:36:40,440 --> 00:36:43,319
Speaker 2: little bit. All the guys are out there. They were

860
00:36:43,320 --> 00:36:46,600
Speaker 2: doing hitting drills and they've got kind of a glut

861
00:36:46,640 --> 00:36:49,720
Speaker 2: of corn field outfield players. They also just signed Josh Harrison,

862
00:36:49,719 --> 00:36:51,719
Speaker 2: who was speaking with the media, and I go over

863
00:36:51,719 --> 00:36:53,759
Speaker 2: to one of the side fields. It's there's like the

864
00:36:53,800 --> 00:36:55,600
Speaker 2: big main fields and there's kind of like a private

865
00:36:55,680 --> 00:36:57,640
Speaker 2: it's only an infield. A lot of the teams have

866
00:36:57,760 --> 00:37:01,320
Speaker 2: these diamondbacks have them and it's just Ane and working

867
00:37:01,320 --> 00:37:04,400
Speaker 2: over there is Pevin Smith at first and Andrew Vaughn

868
00:37:04,560 --> 00:37:06,919
Speaker 2: at second base, and I was like, wait a minute,

869
00:37:07,520 --> 00:37:09,160
Speaker 2: you know, because sometimes you get guys that just like

870
00:37:09,160 --> 00:37:11,399
Speaker 2: go over to second during BP and they just doing

871
00:37:11,880 --> 00:37:16,360
Speaker 2: But no, this was three coaches working with Vaughn, talking

872
00:37:16,480 --> 00:37:18,440
Speaker 2: him through each one and they would hit it to

873
00:37:18,480 --> 00:37:21,320
Speaker 2: Gavin that then could roll it over, you know, and

874
00:37:21,560 --> 00:37:24,239
Speaker 2: Andrew Vaughn could play the full run. And I got

875
00:37:24,280 --> 00:37:26,840
Speaker 2: some video of it. I tweeted it out and after

876
00:37:26,920 --> 00:37:29,480
Speaker 2: it was asked, someone asked, Hey, are you going to

877
00:37:29,520 --> 00:37:31,000
Speaker 2: be playing in the outfield this year? And he kind

878
00:37:31,000 --> 00:37:33,000
Speaker 2: of himmed in hoddle over. He's like, you know, we'll

879
00:37:33,040 --> 00:37:34,600
Speaker 2: see where they want to play me. And then he goes,

880
00:37:34,760 --> 00:37:36,600
Speaker 2: I just want to play wherever the coaches want me.

881
00:37:37,000 --> 00:37:39,600
Speaker 2: And this is literally him coming off of running second

882
00:37:39,600 --> 00:37:42,160
Speaker 2: base drills where they talk with him. They were doing

883
00:37:42,200 --> 00:37:44,319
Speaker 2: full grounders I mean, we were doing the full thing,

884
00:37:44,440 --> 00:37:46,959
Speaker 2: So just something to consider out there that I don't

885
00:37:46,960 --> 00:37:50,040
Speaker 2: think they're stuck or they really know what position he's

886
00:37:50,120 --> 00:37:52,919
Speaker 2: going to play. Doesn't sound like outfield might be the lock,

887
00:37:53,040 --> 00:37:55,719
Speaker 2: and I think they're just trying to get positioned flexibility.

888
00:37:55,719 --> 00:37:57,960
Speaker 2: But I think they got Lori Garcia there and Josh Harrison,

889
00:37:58,280 --> 00:38:00,960
Speaker 2: but Andrew Vaughn working at second base, So keep an

890
00:38:01,000 --> 00:38:03,800
Speaker 2: eye on that, maybe some future flexibility or just major

891
00:38:03,880 --> 00:38:05,600
Speaker 2: questions about, you know, how the hell they can get

892
00:38:05,680 --> 00:38:06,280
Speaker 2: him in the lineup.

893
00:38:07,040 --> 00:38:09,920
Speaker 1: We've still got Freddy Freeman, Carlos Correa, Chris Bryan, and

894
00:38:09,960 --> 00:38:11,560
Speaker 1: a host of other free agents he had to sign.

895
00:38:11,640 --> 00:38:14,040

Speaker 2: Yeah, we drop my Welsh bomb.

901

Speaker 1: Sorry, that's right, Welsh bombs all over again. Look, you

902
00:38:29,560 --> 00:38:31,719
Speaker 1: got the good footage out there. He's out there in

903
00:38:31,800 --> 00:38:35,120
Speaker 1: Arizona in the heat. He could stand it. Lake Snell

904
00:38:35,160 --> 00:38:36,960
Speaker 1: connot Welsh is still out there.

905
00:38:36,960 --> 00:38:40,400
Speaker 2: Man, it was so hot, Joe. It was so hot, man.

906
00:38:40,840 --> 00:38:42,799
Speaker 2: Maybe I'll write a rap song about it.

907
00:38:43,120 --> 00:38:45,440
Speaker 1: Dang, he was so hot. Well, Frank, you know how

908
00:38:45,480 --> 00:38:46,279
Speaker 1: hot it was out there?

909
00:38:47,080 --> 00:38:49,160
Speaker 2: Getting hot in her sounds hot?

910
00:38:49,280 --> 00:38:53,720
Speaker 1: Right? All right, let's go with some draft day bargains

911
00:38:53,800 --> 00:38:56,200
Speaker 1: right now, Frank, let's start with you. Who is a

912
00:38:56,280 --> 00:38:58,439
Speaker 1: draft day bargain. We'll get ten of these, five each

913
00:38:58,480 --> 00:39:00,560
Speaker 1: for the boys. Here, give me your first one that

914
00:39:00,600 --> 00:39:03,040
Speaker 1: you think is going a little later than he should

915
00:39:03,040 --> 00:39:04,960
Speaker 1: and you think is actually a good return on investment.

916
00:39:05,480 --> 00:39:09,440
Speaker 4: All right, I'm gonna go with the old, boring veteran,

917
00:39:09,840 --> 00:39:12,200
Speaker 4: Charlie Morton, who has an ADP of eighty six point

918
00:39:12,239 --> 00:39:15,359
Speaker 4: two and feels like he's just being undervalued because he's

919
00:39:15,400 --> 00:39:17,560
Speaker 4: thirty eight years old. But you look at what he

920
00:39:17,600 --> 00:39:20,000
Speaker 4: did last year three point three four Era one oh

921
00:39:20,080 --> 00:39:24,240
Speaker 4: four whip over two hundred strikeouts, and really from twenty

922
00:39:24,320 --> 00:39:26,719
Speaker 4: seventeen on he's been fantastic.

923
00:39:26,760 --> 00:39:27,640
Speaker 3: Three three four.

924
00:39:27,480 --> 00:39:30,719
Speaker 4: Era one one three whip well over a strikeout per ending.

925
00:39:30,880 --> 00:39:32,800
Speaker 4: He did have that blip in the short and twenty

926
00:39:32,800 --> 00:39:34,879
Speaker 4: twenty he dealt with the shoulder injury, but he bounced back.

927
00:39:34,960 --> 00:39:38,000
Speaker 4: Last year velocity was fine swinging strike rate was awesome

928
00:39:38,320 --> 00:39:40,600
Speaker 4: back with the Atlanta Braves. Yes, he's coming back from

929
00:39:40,880 --> 00:39:43,200
Speaker 4: the broken leg, but so far he's been good in

930
00:39:43,520 --> 00:39:46,040
Speaker 4: training camp. He's been throwing bullpens, and I think that

931
00:39:46,040 --> 00:39:47,800
Speaker 4: we're gonna start to see his price actually rise.

932
00:39:47,640 --> 00:39:48,080
Speaker 3: A little bit.

933
00:39:48,280 --> 00:39:50,080
Speaker 4: I think people were worried about, you know, where's the

934
00:39:50,120 --> 00:39:52,719
Speaker 4: health with Charlie Morton at his age. But I think

935
00:39:52,719 --> 00:39:54,680
Speaker 4: as people start to see him healthy in inspring game,

936
00:39:54,719 --> 00:39:56,640
Speaker 4: so he's probably even gonna rise a little bit. So

937
00:39:56,840 --> 00:39:58,799
Speaker 4: if you're drafting now, I would say, try and get

938
00:39:58,840 --> 00:39:59,960
Speaker 4: as much Charlie Morton as you can.

939
00:40:00,800 --> 00:40:03,080
Speaker 1: Charlie Morton I feel better about than Zach Wheeler. I

940
00:40:03,120 --> 00:40:05,239
Speaker 1: don't care you've broken leg and all. I feel more

941
00:40:05,840 --> 00:40:08,120
Speaker 1: at ease with Charlie Morton towards the top of my

942
00:40:08,200 --> 00:40:09,839
Speaker 1: rotation than I do Zach Wheeler. I don't know, maybe

943
00:40:09,840 --> 00:40:11,239
Speaker 1: because I'm a Mett fan and I've seen so much

944
00:40:11,239 --> 00:40:13,880
Speaker 1: bad Zach Wheeler in my life. But where was this

945
00:40:14,000 --> 00:40:16,920
Speaker 1: Charlie Morton in his twenties and early thirties. This is

946
00:40:16,920 --> 00:40:18,319
Speaker 1: the thing I want to know, Frank. I mean, it

947
00:40:18,360 --> 00:40:20,680
Speaker 1: is stunning, right, This was a guy who's you know,

948
00:40:20,760 --> 00:40:22,600
Speaker 1: going one hundred and fifty seven innings, he could barely

949
00:40:22,640 --> 00:40:24,520
Speaker 1: strike out one hundred and twenty five guys, and then,

950
00:40:24,760 --> 00:40:27,600
Speaker 1: as you were saying, twenty seventeen happens, and ever since then,

951
00:40:27,640 --> 00:40:29,399
Speaker 1: we're looking a one hundred and sixty three k's two

952
00:40:29,480 --> 00:40:32,960
Speaker 1: oh one, two forty last year, two sixteen. Just a

953
00:40:33,000 --> 00:40:34,919
Speaker 1: stunning turnaround of a career so late.

954
00:40:35,960 --> 00:40:39,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, So he had a huge uptick in velocity. I

955
00:40:39,200 --> 00:40:41,080
Speaker 4: think that the Houston Astros, I mean, they've done this

956
00:40:41,120 --> 00:40:43,240
Speaker 4: with a few other pitchers, but they really just found

957
00:40:43,320 --> 00:40:44,600
Speaker 4: a way to get the most out of him. And

958
00:40:44,640 --> 00:40:47,439
Speaker 4: he's always had that ridiculous curve ball too, So those

959
00:40:47,440 --> 00:40:50,360
Speaker 4: things in conjunction together, I mean, uh, this is the

960
00:40:50,360 --> 00:40:51,759
Speaker 4: best that we've ever seen a pitch for really the

961
00:40:51,760 --> 00:40:54,600
Speaker 4: twilight of his career. So yeah, the velocity and that

962
00:40:54,960 --> 00:40:57,879
Speaker 4: big hook together, it's it's worked very well for Charlie Morton.

963
00:40:57,960 --> 00:41:01,879
Speaker 1: So I'm in SPA T twenty six on the board. Gimme, gimme,

964
00:41:02,040 --> 00:41:04,120
Speaker 1: I'm all over it all right, Welsh, give me your

965
00:41:04,120 --> 00:41:05,600
Speaker 1: first guy for a draft day bargain.

966
00:41:05,960 --> 00:41:07,879
Speaker 2: So I've actually kind of teetered around with this guy

967
00:41:07,920 --> 00:41:10,080
Speaker 2: because there's this guy, and then I kind of think

968
00:41:10,120 --> 00:41:13,279
Speaker 2: there's another version of him forty picks later, which makes

969
00:41:13,360 --> 00:41:16,279
Speaker 2: him an even better bargain. But just follow me here.

970
00:41:16,360 --> 00:41:18,920
Speaker 2: The guy I picked kind of trying to follow Frank's

971
00:41:18,920 --> 00:41:21,320
Speaker 2: model as well, of like little high, little medium, a

972
00:41:21,320 --> 00:41:22,719
Speaker 2: little bit low. I kind of like how he did

973
00:41:22,719 --> 00:41:25,239
Speaker 2: that with the bargains, because bargains are completely different for

974
00:41:25,280 --> 00:41:27,440
Speaker 2: all of us. But a draft day bargain I feel

975
00:41:27,480 --> 00:41:32,000
Speaker 2: like is Ela Jmenez, Eloy Jimenez. We've talked about Joe

976
00:41:32,320 --> 00:41:36,839
Speaker 2: just because this is a high four category player that

977
00:41:36,880 --> 00:41:40,120
Speaker 2: you're getting into the fifties or the sixties. I believe

978
00:41:40,120 --> 00:41:43,200
Speaker 2: he was fifty seven fifty six last I looked on

979
00:41:43,239 --> 00:41:46,400
Speaker 2: the ECR on Fantasy Pros. Then he can go even past.

980
00:41:46,480 --> 00:41:48,480
Speaker 1: Nine today Welsh, if you could believe it. I don't

981
00:41:48,480 --> 00:41:49,680
Speaker 1: know what happened, but yeah.

982
00:41:49,480 --> 00:41:51,200
Speaker 2: I mean he went down three spots from when I

983
00:41:51,560 --> 00:41:53,880
Speaker 2: last checked it this which is literally last night. But

984
00:41:53,880 --> 00:41:56,480
Speaker 2: we're talking like mid thirty homers. You got the good

985
00:41:56,520 --> 00:41:59,120
Speaker 2: runs in the RBI. Now the difference the guy I

986
00:41:59,239 --> 00:42:00,680
Speaker 2: wanted to pick, and I kind of want to throw

987
00:42:00,760 --> 00:42:02,320
Speaker 2: him in here because I don't believe I want to

988
00:42:02,320 --> 00:42:04,560
Speaker 2: make sure I didn't incept any brains here yet I

989
00:42:04,560 --> 00:42:06,720
Speaker 2: know we're not talking about him is fran will Reys,

990
00:42:06,840 --> 00:42:10,239
Speaker 2: Because fran will Reys, to me is one of the

991
00:42:10,239 --> 00:42:13,280
Speaker 2: most absolute power targets you need to have in your draft.

992
00:42:13,440 --> 00:42:16,359
Speaker 2: The problem he has is not every format pretty much

993
00:42:16,360 --> 00:42:19,480
Speaker 2: just Yahoo. Is he going to qualified outfield? Uh? If

994
00:42:19,520 --> 00:42:22,200
Speaker 2: you get the outfield eligibility, then I think you're looking

995
00:42:22,239 --> 00:42:25,640
Speaker 2: at like the cheaper bargain version of Eloy with a

996
00:42:25,640 --> 00:42:28,440
Speaker 2: little bit of batting average risk but his util. So

997
00:42:28,520 --> 00:42:30,680
Speaker 2: that's why I didn't jump onto it. You get more

998
00:42:30,680 --> 00:42:34,280
Speaker 2: batting average and you get an actual fielder with Eloy

999
00:42:34,400 --> 00:42:37,000
Speaker 2: right now, where fran Mil you're stuck to util. That

1000
00:42:37,120 --> 00:42:40,000
Speaker 2: takes away Otani, or if you take Otani, you can't

1001
00:42:40,000 --> 00:42:42,680
Speaker 2: have fran Mill and that also takes one of Nelson Cruz,

1002
00:42:42,680 --> 00:42:45,040
Speaker 2: who's kind of a bargain. So I didn't mean to

1003
00:42:45,040 --> 00:42:47,080
Speaker 2: like add two in here, but I wanted it to

1004
00:42:47,120 --> 00:42:49,360
Speaker 2: be frand Mill because it's like, holy crap, this is

1005
00:42:49,400 --> 00:42:53,080
Speaker 2: a solid three category high category guy with a little

1006
00:42:53,120 --> 00:42:57,640
Speaker 2: sub fourth. Eloy is four solid categories and probably one

1007
00:42:57,680 --> 00:43:00,480
Speaker 2: of the better offenses. And if he's healthy, he's still young.

1008
00:43:00,520 --> 00:43:03,000
Speaker 2: He's by the way, Eloy, he is a younger than

1009
00:43:03,040 --> 00:43:05,839
Speaker 2: franmil Reyis, which is like unbelievable to think about.

1010
00:43:05,960 --> 00:43:08,000
Speaker 1: Eloy is still so young and we haven't even scratched

1011
00:43:08,000 --> 00:43:09,799
Speaker 1: the surface of how good that kid is. And I think,

1012
00:43:10,200 --> 00:43:12,200
Speaker 1: you know, last year, people just kind of rote them

1013
00:43:12,239 --> 00:43:14,120
Speaker 1: off because of the injury, I feel like, and he

1014
00:43:14,200 --> 00:43:17,280
Speaker 1: didn't talk about him and Robert was all the buzz instead.

1015
00:43:17,360 --> 00:43:19,759
Speaker 1: But Jimenez is an incredible talent. I love friend mil too.

1016
00:43:19,760 --> 00:43:21,680
Speaker 1: I wish the run score was a little higher. It's

1017
00:43:21,680 --> 00:43:23,080
Speaker 1: the only thing, like even a couple years ago when

1018
00:43:23,080 --> 00:43:25,240
Speaker 1: he had thirty seven bombs, he only scored sixty nine runs.

1019
00:43:25,480 --> 00:43:28,120
Speaker 1: And even last year thirty Dingers one hundred and fifteen games,

1020
00:43:28,160 --> 00:43:30,279
Speaker 1: fifty seven runs scored. But I'm with you. I like

1021
00:43:30,320 --> 00:43:32,120
Speaker 1: both these guys. I want both of them on my team.

1022
00:43:32,360 --> 00:43:34,480
Speaker 1: And just to get an idea to fran mil Reyis

1023
00:43:34,800 --> 00:43:38,520
Speaker 1: is at one fifty one thirteen excuse me overall in

1024
00:43:38,520 --> 00:43:39,480
Speaker 1: the ECR Oh.

1025
00:43:39,480 --> 00:43:40,880
Speaker 2: It's a really I thought he just looked and he

1026
00:43:41,040 --> 00:43:43,680
Speaker 2: I had him at ninety six. What am I looking at?

1027
00:43:43,719 --> 00:43:47,239
Speaker 1: Maybe I'm looking I'm looking at the ECR ADP consensus

1028
00:43:47,360 --> 00:43:48,400
Speaker 1: right now. That's where I'm at.

1029
00:43:48,680 --> 00:43:51,239
Speaker 2: Okay, Well, I see on the Fantasy Baseball rankings for

1030
00:43:51,280 --> 00:43:53,279
Speaker 2: mixed leagues. I see him at ninety six, regardless of

1031
00:43:53,320 --> 00:43:54,600
Speaker 2: the point he's there. And you know what, I look

1032
00:43:54,600 --> 00:43:58,680
Speaker 2: at Eloy as I look at Eloy as the backstop

1033
00:43:58,719 --> 00:44:01,319
Speaker 2: to Jordan Alvarez, like everybody wants Jordan Alvarez in the

1034
00:44:01,320 --> 00:44:03,160
Speaker 2: second round it with a give me, give me four

1035
00:44:03,200 --> 00:44:07,160
Speaker 2: category that's Eloy, Like Eloy was Jordan before Jordan was

1036
00:44:07,400 --> 00:44:10,400
Speaker 2: And you can get that thirty picks later. And I,

1037
00:44:10,560 --> 00:44:12,319
Speaker 2: you know, I want to prioritize speed as much as

1038
00:44:12,400 --> 00:44:14,719
Speaker 2: I can on the early front of drafts. So you know,

1039
00:44:14,760 --> 00:44:16,759
Speaker 2: let's say I get a top hitter, I'd like to

1040
00:44:16,760 --> 00:44:19,480
Speaker 2: get another speedy type of guy in the second round.

1041
00:44:19,680 --> 00:44:22,920
Speaker 2: I might start looking at pitchers, starting pitchers and closers

1042
00:44:22,920 --> 00:44:24,720
Speaker 2: in the third and fourth, and you might have Eloy

1043
00:44:24,800 --> 00:44:25,879
Speaker 2: sitting there in the fifth or sixth.

1044
00:44:25,920 --> 00:44:26,120
Speaker 1: For you.

1045
00:44:26,160 --> 00:44:30,040
Speaker 2: I think I registered the absolute best bargain pick of

1046
00:44:30,120 --> 00:44:32,560
Speaker 2: him in TGFBI. I got the lowest of any in

1047
00:44:32,600 --> 00:44:36,080
Speaker 2: any single league at ninety three. It's an absolute steal.

1048
00:44:36,440 --> 00:44:39,280
Speaker 2: It's it's everything you want out of Jordan Alvarez.

1049
00:44:38,800 --> 00:44:42,160
Speaker 1: But just cheaper. All right, Frank, give me another name

1050
00:44:42,200 --> 00:44:44,560
Speaker 1: on your list of draft day bargains.

1051
00:44:44,360 --> 00:44:46,080
Speaker 4: All right, So I'm gonna go with a first basement,

1052
00:44:46,120 --> 00:44:49,200
Speaker 4: and he's part of a quartet, a group that I

1053
00:44:49,239 --> 00:44:50,760
Speaker 4: have dubbed the profit pocket.

1054
00:44:50,920 --> 00:44:52,719
Speaker 3: So these are just undervalue.

1055
00:44:52,800 --> 00:44:57,000
Speaker 4: All four stable, all more of these first basement, in

1056
00:44:57,000 --> 00:44:59,680
Speaker 4: my opinion, are undervalued. It's Reese Haskins, It's Joey Vado,

1057
00:45:00,080 --> 00:45:01,480
Speaker 4: It's Josh Bell, and it's CJ.

1058
00:45:01,560 --> 00:45:01,799
Speaker 3: Crohn.

1059
00:45:01,840 --> 00:45:04,040
Speaker 4: And if I miss out on you know the Matdilson's,

1060
00:45:04,040 --> 00:45:06,080
Speaker 4: which I'm very likely to do. Pete Alonzo, this is

1061
00:45:06,160 --> 00:45:09,480
Speaker 4: typically the group that I target and Reese Hoskins. For him,

1062
00:45:09,520 --> 00:45:12,400
Speaker 4: it's really just been health. But when he's played, especially

1063
00:45:12,440 --> 00:45:14,240
Speaker 4: last year, he was very good. He hit two forty

1064
00:45:14,239 --> 00:45:16,720
Speaker 4: seven lower batting average. But if you play in OBP

1065
00:45:16,920 --> 00:45:20,040
Speaker 4: or any type of points league, Hoskins excels in that format.

1066
00:45:20,200 --> 00:45:22,840
Speaker 4: He hit twenty seven homers in one hundred and seven games.

1067
00:45:22,840 --> 00:45:25,560
Speaker 4: That is a one hundred and fifty game pace of

1068
00:45:25,680 --> 00:45:28,319
Speaker 4: thirty seven homers ninety nine RBI. I just think that

1069
00:45:28,400 --> 00:45:31,560
Speaker 4: he provides a similar skill set to what you're asking

1070
00:45:31,600 --> 00:45:34,280
Speaker 4: Pete Alonzo or Matt Olsen to do, and you're getting

1071
00:45:34,360 --> 00:45:37,920
Speaker 4: him about sixty seventy picks later. So give me the

1072
00:45:37,920 --> 00:45:40,640
Speaker 4: profit pocket, give me Reeese Hoskins, Vodo Josh Bell.

1073
00:45:40,760 --> 00:45:42,120
Speaker 3: I think they're all undervalued right now.

1074
00:45:42,880 --> 00:45:45,480
Speaker 1: I would agree with Hoskins too. I think it's unfair.

1075
00:45:45,560 --> 00:45:47,759
Speaker 1: I think the negativities arounding him is lingered longer than

1076
00:45:47,760 --> 00:45:49,479
Speaker 1: it should have because last year was a pretty darn

1077
00:45:49,520 --> 00:45:51,959
Speaker 1: productive season for him. All right, let's go to another

1078
00:45:51,960 --> 00:45:53,600
Speaker 1: one for your list. Wells, who you.

1079
00:45:53,480 --> 00:45:58,360
Speaker 2: Got in the ever you know, crazy chase of closers

1080
00:45:58,400 --> 00:46:01,239
Speaker 2: that we're doing this year. I'm trying to help the

1081
00:46:01,239 --> 00:46:05,439
Speaker 2: Fantasy procr and if you draft early closers, just a hint,

1082
00:46:05,480 --> 00:46:08,440
Speaker 2: you're the ranker is probably gonna be me. That's gonna

1083
00:46:08,520 --> 00:46:11,000
Speaker 2: like it. I drafted closers early in ours and it

1084
00:46:11,040 --> 00:46:13,440
Speaker 2: was like, guess what the Welsh likesure draft. I'm like, oh, thanks, man,

1085
00:46:13,480 --> 00:46:15,799
Speaker 2: that's really cool. I'm trying to push those up because

1086
00:46:15,840 --> 00:46:17,960
Speaker 2: you got to get them. Especially if it's rodo head

1087
00:46:18,000 --> 00:46:19,839
Speaker 2: to head, You've got a little bit more wiggle room.

1088
00:46:19,960 --> 00:46:21,759
Speaker 2: There's so many question marks, and I'm not going to

1089
00:46:21,840 --> 00:46:25,040
Speaker 2: deny that there isn't a question mark with this guy

1090
00:46:25,200 --> 00:46:28,840
Speaker 2: simply because the team, but he performed well, and the

1091
00:46:28,880 --> 00:46:31,680
Speaker 2: closer I'm talking about I see at least and you

1092
00:46:31,719 --> 00:46:33,920
Speaker 2: can tell me if I'm wrong. Here a one thirty

1093
00:46:34,040 --> 00:46:38,360
Speaker 2: seven ECR right now of Jordan Romano with the Blue Jays,

1094
00:46:38,440 --> 00:46:41,000
Speaker 2: and the blue Jays are going to be primed and

1095
00:46:41,160 --> 00:46:44,080
Speaker 2: ready for wins, wins, wins, and that is what you want.

1096
00:46:44,080 --> 00:46:47,360
Speaker 2: You want closers with stability, you know, you want closers

1097
00:46:47,360 --> 00:46:49,960
Speaker 2: with great stuff, obviously, and you want closers on teams

1098
00:46:50,120 --> 00:46:52,279
Speaker 2: that are going to put him in save situations, so

1099
00:46:52,560 --> 00:46:55,759
Speaker 2: where people are paying up sickly for Mark Malanson with

1100
00:46:55,800 --> 00:46:58,560
Speaker 2: the Diamondbacks, where he might save ten by the time

1101
00:46:58,600 --> 00:47:00,480
Speaker 2: the trade deadline comes because the dim actually going to

1102
00:47:00,520 --> 00:47:04,080
Speaker 2: be atrocious. I guy like Jordan Romano is cheaper. He's

1103
00:47:04,080 --> 00:47:07,600
Speaker 2: not being drafted as a top five closer. He's more

1104
00:47:07,760 --> 00:47:09,840
Speaker 2: likely than not going to be outside the top one hundred.

1105
00:47:09,840 --> 00:47:12,560
Speaker 2: If you got a league that's, you know, pushing up closers,

1106
00:47:12,640 --> 00:47:15,319
Speaker 2: it might change. I've seen people take Diegos ahead of him.

1107
00:47:15,480 --> 00:47:19,279
Speaker 2: I think Romano is a super super value closer if

1108
00:47:19,320 --> 00:47:20,920
Speaker 2: you don't want to pay the high price, or if

1109
00:47:20,920 --> 00:47:24,960
Speaker 2: you do pay the high price atc Ario, Cohen's projection

1110
00:47:25,080 --> 00:47:28,920
Speaker 2: system hasn't projected at twenty eight saves five wins. You're

1111
00:47:28,960 --> 00:47:31,399
Speaker 2: looking at eleven and a half k per nine on

1112
00:47:31,400 --> 00:47:33,640
Speaker 2: one of the better teams in the league, and they

1113
00:47:33,640 --> 00:47:36,840
Speaker 2: got pitchers that can take him deep. I like Jordan Romano.

1114
00:47:36,880 --> 00:47:39,160
Speaker 2: I think in a crazy closer market, he is a

1115
00:47:39,200 --> 00:47:40,240
Speaker 2: target and he's a bargain.

1116
00:47:41,160 --> 00:47:43,600
Speaker 1: Now we tease this earlier, Frank Stamfel, this is your

1117
00:47:43,640 --> 00:47:46,200
Speaker 1: opportunity to defend the honor of Willia doms And I

1118
00:47:46,239 --> 00:47:47,040
Speaker 1: am right behind you.

1119
00:47:47,200 --> 00:47:48,879
Speaker 2: I like him for I like him.

1120
00:47:49,120 --> 00:47:51,799
Speaker 1: Just no, you don't, No, you don't. Don't pretend him

1121
00:47:51,840 --> 00:47:53,680
Speaker 1: is your guys.

1122
00:47:54,600 --> 00:47:58,239
Speaker 4: Yeah, adp on Willia Domas one thirty six point eight

1123
00:47:58,239 --> 00:48:01,160
Speaker 4: would not surprise me one bit if he he outperforms

1124
00:48:01,200 --> 00:48:04,400
Speaker 4: Carlos Correa, who's going fifty spots ahead of him right now.

1125
00:48:04,680 --> 00:48:07,640
Speaker 4: As a member of the Rays, Adamis hit two nineteen

1126
00:48:07,719 --> 00:48:10,840
Speaker 4: with a six twenty four OPS at home, and he

1127
00:48:10,920 --> 00:48:13,560
Speaker 4: spoke about how he couldn't see the ball in Tropicana

1128
00:48:13,640 --> 00:48:15,960
Speaker 4: Field and it really affected him. He hit two ninety

1129
00:48:15,960 --> 00:48:19,160
Speaker 4: one with an eight fifty eight ops everywhere else while

1130
00:48:19,160 --> 00:48:21,399
Speaker 4: he was a member of Tampa Bay. Then last year

1131
00:48:21,760 --> 00:48:24,600
Speaker 4: ninety nine games with the Brewers, he basically just picked

1132
00:48:24,680 --> 00:48:26,399
Speaker 4: up where he left off. When he was on the road,

1133
00:48:26,400 --> 00:48:29,600
Speaker 4: he hit two eighty five twenty homers, four steals in

1134
00:48:29,680 --> 00:48:33,880
Speaker 4: eight eighty six ops. And from the point that he

1135
00:48:34,000 --> 00:48:37,040
Speaker 4: joined the Brewers on May twenty second on, here's where

1136
00:48:37,040 --> 00:48:39,640
Speaker 4: he ranked among short stops seventh and batting average tied

1137
00:48:39,680 --> 00:48:43,239
Speaker 4: for third, and home runs fourth and ops. So maybe

1138
00:48:43,280 --> 00:48:45,360
Speaker 4: it's I'm just trusting a small sample sized thing. You know,

1139
00:48:45,400 --> 00:48:47,680
Speaker 4: it's right around one hundred games. But regardless, I like

1140
00:48:47,760 --> 00:48:50,399
Speaker 4: the ballpark. I like the lineup. They've lengthened it, They've

1141
00:48:50,680 --> 00:48:53,240
Speaker 4: added Andrew McCutcheon and just overall a lot of players

1142
00:48:53,239 --> 00:48:55,880
Speaker 4: there that I like. Colton Wong, Luis Arius, I like

1143
00:48:55,960 --> 00:48:57,839
Speaker 4: him there too, Christian Yellich if he can bounce back.

1144
00:48:57,880 --> 00:48:59,960
Speaker 3: So I'm buying the adjustments.

1145
00:49:00,200 --> 00:49:02,279
Speaker 4: How great he was with the Brewers all park line up,

1146
00:49:02,280 --> 00:49:03,359
Speaker 4: Give me Willia Damas and.

1147
00:49:03,360 --> 00:49:06,560
Speaker 2: Let me throw in this as well, with all the jokes.

1148
00:49:06,600 --> 00:49:11,080
Speaker 2: Aside Willia Domas, what could be a winning strategy is

1149
00:49:11,120 --> 00:49:13,000
Speaker 2: if you want to reach a little bit to ensure

1150
00:49:13,000 --> 00:49:17,239
Speaker 2: yourself to get Fernando Tatis Junior. Yeah no, you get

1151
00:49:17,239 --> 00:49:20,319
Speaker 2: William Domas, you get Dansby Swanson, or if you really

1152
00:49:20,360 --> 00:49:24,440
Speaker 2: screw up, you get Brandon Crawford. That's how you cover yourself.

1153
00:49:24,480 --> 00:49:26,839
Speaker 2: If you want to take Tatis earlier than the rest

1154
00:49:26,840 --> 00:49:29,160
Speaker 2: of your league mates, beware it might not happen, but

1155
00:49:29,320 --> 00:49:32,200
Speaker 2: they are the prime that's the prime guy to pair with.

1156
00:49:32,640 --> 00:49:35,280
Speaker 1: Fernando Tatis took the words right out of my mouth,

1157
00:49:35,719 --> 00:49:39,160
Speaker 1: gotcha exactly. Once again, we're in lockstep. So now that

1158
00:49:39,200 --> 00:49:41,360
Speaker 1: Welsh went to go get his Willia Doms shinebox, you

1159
00:49:41,400 --> 00:49:43,280
Speaker 1: can come back and give us another player here, because

1160
00:49:43,480 --> 00:49:46,680
Speaker 1: I'm with Frank, Let's go Willia Doms all day.

1161
00:49:47,360 --> 00:49:49,719
Speaker 2: My number three actually talked about him last week going

1162
00:49:49,760 --> 00:49:51,840
Speaker 2: through it's really hard trying to find like your best

1163
00:49:51,840 --> 00:49:53,879
Speaker 2: best bargains. But I'm gonna just kind of come back

1164
00:49:53,880 --> 00:49:55,799
Speaker 2: to a guy that we talked about in last episode

1165
00:49:56,040 --> 00:49:58,320
Speaker 2: or with spor I'm sorry the Sport episode where you

1166
00:49:58,360 --> 00:50:00,399
Speaker 2: would say, like, who's the next Cedric Mullen and that's

1167
00:50:00,440 --> 00:50:03,160
Speaker 2: like a really big undertaking and task. But I had

1168
00:50:03,160 --> 00:50:06,239
Speaker 2: mentioned this guy from July to September had the six

1169
00:50:06,400 --> 00:50:10,080
Speaker 2: most hits in baseball during that period. I believe it

1170
00:50:10,120 --> 00:50:13,040
Speaker 2: was a six Sommers, seven stolen bases or seven and

1171
00:50:13,120 --> 00:50:18,200
Speaker 2: eight Amitrosario with the Guardians. I just think post two hundred,

1172
00:50:18,200 --> 00:50:21,280
Speaker 2: a guy that's got twenty stolen based potential, fifteen plus

1173
00:50:21,280 --> 00:50:24,200
Speaker 2: homer potential. He had a great end of the season

1174
00:50:24,239 --> 00:50:26,239
Speaker 2: as far as hits. He might be at the top

1175
00:50:26,280 --> 00:50:28,560
Speaker 2: of a lineup with guys hitting behind him like Jose

1176
00:50:28,680 --> 00:50:31,239
Speaker 2: Ramirez and franmil Reyis. I think he's a bargain and

1177
00:50:31,320 --> 00:50:33,120
Speaker 2: I think he's a target, especially when you're trying to

1178
00:50:33,120 --> 00:50:35,080
Speaker 2: play around with stolen bases, depending how you did earlier

1179
00:50:35,120 --> 00:50:37,640
Speaker 2: in draft. Guys like I almost put Andrew Benintendi on

1180
00:50:37,640 --> 00:50:39,800
Speaker 2: this list, but I kind of like Amitersari just like

1181
00:50:39,840 --> 00:50:42,879
Speaker 2: a notch higher position flexibility. You're probably gonna get short

1182
00:50:42,880 --> 00:50:45,479
Speaker 2: stop and outfield, and you know, I mean, bad things

1183
00:50:45,480 --> 00:50:47,600
Speaker 2: could happen. You might not get the great counting stats,

1184
00:50:47,600 --> 00:50:50,000
Speaker 2: but I don't know. I think worst case scenario, you're

1185
00:50:50,200 --> 00:50:54,040
Speaker 2: probably touching the twenty stolen bases power. That'll be a

1186
00:50:54,040 --> 00:50:56,080
Speaker 2: major question. But you know, people are paying like top

1187
00:50:56,120 --> 00:50:58,640
Speaker 2: one hundred almost for Miles Straw and I know he's

1188
00:50:58,640 --> 00:51:01,200
Speaker 2: elite stolen bases, but a metroso kind of covers you.

1189
00:51:01,320 --> 00:51:03,040
Speaker 2: He's a little bit more of a five tool player.

1190
00:51:03,120 --> 00:51:06,200
Speaker 2: So post two hundred amedros Ario draft day bargain in

1191
00:51:06,200 --> 00:51:07,680
Speaker 2: my eyes, that's.

1192
00:51:07,520 --> 00:51:09,479
Speaker 1: Another good one. All right, Frank, back to you, who's

1193
00:51:09,560 --> 00:51:11,839
Speaker 1: number four on your list of draft day bargains.

1194
00:51:12,560 --> 00:51:14,160
Speaker 3: So I'm going with Lord Escuriel.

1195
00:51:14,280 --> 00:51:16,719
Speaker 4: He's got an ADP of one forty point two and

1196
00:51:16,760 --> 00:51:19,000
Speaker 4: he's been very inconsistent throughout the course of his career.

1197
00:51:19,200 --> 00:51:21,319
Speaker 3: Same thing. Last year. He got off to a slow start.

1198
00:51:21,360 --> 00:51:23,319
Speaker 4: First two months, he hit two forty nine just four

1199
00:51:23,360 --> 00:51:25,440
Speaker 4: homers six thirty two OPS.

1200
00:51:25,600 --> 00:51:27,960
Speaker 3: Turns out he was actually playing through a knee injury.

1201
00:51:28,280 --> 00:51:32,520
Speaker 4: From June on, he hit two ninety one seventeen homers

1202
00:51:32,560 --> 00:51:35,160
Speaker 4: in eight sixty seven OPS, hitting the ball much harder.

1203
00:51:35,160 --> 00:51:37,120
Speaker 4: He was doing a better job lifting the ball during

1204
00:51:37,160 --> 00:51:39,440
Speaker 4: that time. He makes a lot of contact. That was

1205
00:51:39,480 --> 00:51:43,160
Speaker 4: even better last year, right around a nineteen percent strikeout rate,

1206
00:51:43,440 --> 00:51:45,080
Speaker 4: and he showed his glimpses right So in.

1207
00:51:45,000 --> 00:51:46,320
Speaker 3: Twenty twenty he was awesome.

1208
00:51:46,520 --> 00:51:48,759
Speaker 4: Shortened season three to zero eight batting average and eight

1209
00:51:48,800 --> 00:51:51,719
Speaker 4: eighty two OPS. And he's really the last opportunity to

1210
00:51:51,800 --> 00:51:55,120
Speaker 4: grab an everyday starting player in one of the best

1211
00:51:55,120 --> 00:51:57,239
Speaker 4: lineups in baseball with the Toronto Blue Jays, and I

1212
00:51:57,280 --> 00:51:58,960
Speaker 4: think he's going to hit right in the middle of

1213
00:51:59,000 --> 00:51:59,520
Speaker 4: that lineup.

1214
00:51:59,600 --> 00:52:01,080
Speaker 3: Lots of RBI opportunities.

1215
00:52:01,560 --> 00:52:03,520
Speaker 4: You know, maybe not a ton of power you're talking about,

1216
00:52:03,520 --> 00:52:06,200
Speaker 4: like twenty five to twenty eight homers, but if he

1217
00:52:06,239 --> 00:52:08,080
Speaker 4: does that and hits for the good batting average, the

1218
00:52:08,160 --> 00:52:09,759
Speaker 4: counting sets are going to be awesome as well. So

1219
00:52:10,040 --> 00:52:12,399
Speaker 4: Lord is Gurriel, I'm in at the ADP one forty

1220
00:52:12,400 --> 00:52:12,799
Speaker 4: point two.

1221
00:52:13,800 --> 00:52:16,920
Speaker 1: Good offensive ecosystems are important. It's important in football, it's

1222
00:52:16,920 --> 00:52:19,719
Speaker 1: important baseball. Toronto's one of them. Last year is the

1223
00:52:19,719 --> 00:52:22,160
Speaker 1: first year he got five hundred bats too, So like

1224
00:52:22,360 --> 00:52:24,440
Speaker 1: one hundred and forty one games from Guriel, that's what

1225
00:52:24,480 --> 00:52:25,920
Speaker 1: you want to see again. If you can repeat that

1226
00:52:26,000 --> 00:52:28,399
Speaker 1: number of games you're looking at, I think another twenty

1227
00:52:28,440 --> 00:52:30,239
Speaker 1: home runs, eighty RBI and like you said, maybe there's

1228
00:52:30,280 --> 00:52:32,719
Speaker 1: room for even more, potentially two seventy six last year.

1229
00:52:33,000 --> 00:52:34,759
Speaker 1: If you can get closer to that three to zero

1230
00:52:34,800 --> 00:52:37,480
Speaker 1: eight number and twenty twenty man, what a value he

1231
00:52:37,480 --> 00:52:39,239
Speaker 1: would be in the one forty range right now on

1232
00:52:39,320 --> 00:52:42,360
Speaker 1: Fantasy pros. The Welsh number four on your list of

1233
00:52:42,440 --> 00:52:44,040
Speaker 1: draft Dave Bargains is a pitcher.

1234
00:52:44,400 --> 00:52:46,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is a guy that I just seem to

1235
00:52:46,160 --> 00:52:48,279
Speaker 2: be targeting a whole lot, and he was kind of

1236
00:52:48,320 --> 00:52:50,680
Speaker 2: an anomial last year and it's John Gray who is

1237
00:52:50,719 --> 00:52:54,000
Speaker 2: with the Texas Rangers. Now, I like, I mean, what

1238
00:52:54,120 --> 00:52:56,719
Speaker 2: a difference of ballparks you're going to go through from

1239
00:52:56,760 --> 00:52:59,600
Speaker 2: Colorado to Texas. You've got a lot of offensive port,

1240
00:53:00,040 --> 00:53:03,360
Speaker 2: great defensive support, I think as well. And he's the

1241
00:53:03,400 --> 00:53:05,799
Speaker 2: anomaly because he was worse on the road than he

1242
00:53:05,880 --> 00:53:07,680
Speaker 2: was at home. He was able to maintain a four

1243
00:53:07,760 --> 00:53:10,719
Speaker 2: era in Colorado where he was five on the road.

1244
00:53:10,960 --> 00:53:13,359
Speaker 2: Really bad run support as well. That and I think

1245
00:53:13,360 --> 00:53:15,200
Speaker 2: you get him in Texas, you get him to be

1246
00:53:15,320 --> 00:53:18,560
Speaker 2: the lead dog. He was really keeping the home run

1247
00:53:18,560 --> 00:53:20,719
Speaker 2: ball down even in Colorado. I think he had a

1248
00:53:20,719 --> 00:53:23,759
Speaker 2: home run rate. What was it, It was, yeah, one

1249
00:53:23,760 --> 00:53:26,560
Speaker 2: point two seven per nine, which is solid. He was

1250
00:53:26,600 --> 00:53:29,960
Speaker 2: a little bit walk heavy, But I like the destination change.

1251
00:53:30,000 --> 00:53:32,240
Speaker 2: He's a number one starter, going to get more starts

1252
00:53:32,239 --> 00:53:34,520
Speaker 2: in there if they pick up some cheap wins. I mean,

1253
00:53:34,560 --> 00:53:36,680
Speaker 2: think about the division as well. Oakland is just going

1254
00:53:36,760 --> 00:53:39,600
Speaker 2: to be taking it out right. John Gray, I think

1255
00:53:39,680 --> 00:53:42,680
Speaker 2: is a bargain at almost two point fifty to round

1256
00:53:42,719 --> 00:53:43,360
Speaker 2: out your rotation.

1257
00:53:44,320 --> 00:53:46,400
Speaker 1: I got John Gray shares everywhere. I think it's I

1258
00:53:46,440 --> 00:53:48,440
Speaker 1: think it's a great value because it doesn't cost you

1259
00:53:48,440 --> 00:53:51,280
Speaker 1: anything to find out. If he has a good April awesome,

1260
00:53:51,320 --> 00:53:53,399
Speaker 1: maybe you found a gym here and he's been able

1261
00:53:53,400 --> 00:53:55,480
Speaker 1: to turn things around at very least be an Inning

1262
00:53:55,560 --> 00:53:57,440
Speaker 1: Zeter kind of guy for you. And if he's terrible,

1263
00:53:57,480 --> 00:53:59,360
Speaker 1: you caught him in April and you move on to the.

1264
00:53:59,440 --> 00:54:01,640
Speaker 2: Prospect pitch, go get like Nicolo Dolo or Hunter Green.

1265
00:54:01,640 --> 00:54:03,479
Speaker 2: If he didn't get drafted, those guys are probably gonna

1266
00:54:03,480 --> 00:54:04,000
Speaker 2: break camp.

1267
00:54:04,120 --> 00:54:07,040
Speaker 1: So exactly exactly, and that great point too, about as

1268
00:54:07,040 --> 00:54:09,959
Speaker 1: Oakland is starting to Jennison players. Also, all right, back

1269
00:54:10,000 --> 00:54:11,719
Speaker 1: to you, Frank, give me the last get on your

1270
00:54:11,719 --> 00:54:13,160
Speaker 1: list of draft day bargains.

1271
00:54:13,360 --> 00:54:15,200
Speaker 3: All Right'm gonna save the best for last.

1272
00:54:15,320 --> 00:54:18,560
Speaker 4: My favorite breakout candidate this entire fantasy baseball season it

1273
00:54:18,640 --> 00:54:21,880
Speaker 4: is Patrick Sandoval, who was inserted into the Angels rotation

1274
00:54:22,280 --> 00:54:25,720
Speaker 4: on May seventeenth last year. He made fourteen starts during

1275
00:54:25,719 --> 00:54:28,120
Speaker 4: that time, three point three to nine ERA one, pin

1276
00:54:28,120 --> 00:54:30,800
Speaker 4: one eight, with eighty six strikeouts over seventy nine and

1277
00:54:30,840 --> 00:54:34,440
Speaker 4: two thirds endings pitched. His fifteen point three percent swinging

1278
00:54:34,440 --> 00:54:37,800
Speaker 4: strike rate in those fourteen starts second best in baseball

1279
00:54:38,040 --> 00:54:41,200
Speaker 4: behind only Corbyn Burns. So the swing and missus filthy,

1280
00:54:41,480 --> 00:54:42,880
Speaker 4: and a lot of it has to do with this

1281
00:54:43,000 --> 00:54:45,839
Speaker 4: changeup that he has. It posted a one thirty nine

1282
00:54:45,920 --> 00:54:49,520
Speaker 4: batting average against with a near twenty nine percent swinging

1283
00:54:49,600 --> 00:54:51,719
Speaker 4: strike rate on that change up alone. So he's got

1284
00:54:51,760 --> 00:54:53,279
Speaker 4: to work on the fastball compan and he struggles a

1285
00:54:53,320 --> 00:54:56,400
Speaker 4: little bit with Walks. Slider is a serviceable pitch. I

1286
00:54:56,400 --> 00:54:58,520
Speaker 4: think the repertoire is there. He's coming off of a

1287
00:54:58,560 --> 00:55:01,120
Speaker 4: stress reaction in his back, so there are some question marks.

1288
00:55:01,280 --> 00:55:02,719
Speaker 4: Is the reason why he's going outside the top two

1289
00:55:02,800 --> 00:55:06,040
Speaker 4: hundred picks. But if he could stay healthy put everything together.

1290
00:55:06,120 --> 00:55:08,680
Speaker 4: I mean, I think there's legit like top twenty starting

1291
00:55:08,719 --> 00:55:10,480
Speaker 4: pitcher upside here for Patrick Sandoval.

1292
00:55:11,160 --> 00:55:13,319
Speaker 1: I love when we bring in an analyst and they

1293
00:55:13,360 --> 00:55:15,680
Speaker 1: all say the same thing. So we had Fast and

1294
00:55:15,760 --> 00:55:18,000
Speaker 1: Pollock on a couple weeks ago they were talking about Sandival.

1295
00:55:18,000 --> 00:55:21,160
Speaker 1: We've got Paul spor on last week talking about Sandaval,

1296
00:55:21,160 --> 00:55:23,680
Speaker 1: and now Frank Stanfaal talking about Sandoval. So Welsh, do

1297
00:55:23,760 --> 00:55:24,719
Speaker 1: you like Sandoval too?

1298
00:55:24,719 --> 00:55:26,000
Speaker 2: I just sure, why not?

1299
00:55:26,120 --> 00:55:29,200
Speaker 1: Let's go all all in, everybody, all of us, We're

1300
00:55:29,200 --> 00:55:31,440
Speaker 1: gonna all held hands with the Patrick Sandoval. But look,

1301
00:55:31,680 --> 00:55:33,960
Speaker 1: if they can get thirty stars out of him and

1302
00:55:34,160 --> 00:55:37,680
Speaker 1: Tani's very good again, and maybe Cinderguard bounces back, maybe

1303
00:55:37,719 --> 00:55:41,239
Speaker 1: just maybe finally get some of those Angels guys finally

1304
00:55:41,600 --> 00:55:44,680
Speaker 1: finally into the playoffs. That'd be nice. All right, Welsh,

1305
00:55:44,800 --> 00:55:46,600
Speaker 1: give us your last guy on your list.

1306
00:55:47,120 --> 00:55:49,880
Speaker 2: Let's turn this hat around. Let's get serious here for

1307
00:55:49,920 --> 00:55:53,439
Speaker 2: a minute. Let's turn this around on baseballs. I'm going

1308
00:55:53,480 --> 00:55:57,040
Speaker 2: with a rookie at two eighty nine on the ECR,

1309
00:55:57,239 --> 00:56:00,319
Speaker 2: a guy that I think legitimately can break up with

1310
00:56:00,360 --> 00:56:02,920
Speaker 2: their team. And it's not Bobby Witt Junior. It is

1311
00:56:02,960 --> 00:56:08,160
Speaker 2: Spencer Torklsen. Spencer Torklsen, whom Miguel Cabrera was just asking

1312
00:56:08,239 --> 00:56:10,400
Speaker 2: camp the other day about playing first base and he

1313
00:56:10,560 --> 00:56:13,120
Speaker 2: was just like, I don't know. He's like, I don't care.

1314
00:56:13,280 --> 00:56:16,640
Speaker 2: I will play DH because I want Torkosen in the lineup.

1315
00:56:17,600 --> 00:56:20,680
Speaker 2: You hear Miguel Cabrera is say, I want Torklsen in

1316
00:56:20,760 --> 00:56:24,560
Speaker 2: the lineup. Now, add incentives to baseball for a guy

1317
00:56:24,600 --> 00:56:26,799
Speaker 2: to break camp on the opening day roster, to get

1318
00:56:26,840 --> 00:56:29,640
Speaker 2: extra picks if they finish in the top two of

1319
00:56:29,840 --> 00:56:32,160
Speaker 2: Rookie of the Year. And guess what's really interesting. Bobby

1320
00:56:32,200 --> 00:56:35,600
Speaker 2: Witt and Spencer Torklsen sure would seem like likely candidates

1321
00:56:35,600 --> 00:56:37,920
Speaker 2: to finish one and two if they do. Though I

1322
00:56:37,920 --> 00:56:40,640
Speaker 2: do think Riley Green is a guy who was just

1323
00:56:40,640 --> 00:56:43,480
Speaker 2: as worthy of breaking camp. Torklsen is like, he's not

1324
00:56:43,560 --> 00:56:45,400
Speaker 2: a big, crazy strikeout guy. He didn't do it in

1325
00:56:45,400 --> 00:56:48,080
Speaker 2: the miners last year. He was sub twenty five percent,

1326
00:56:48,120 --> 00:56:50,800
Speaker 2: which you want. He could walk. He's had some struggles

1327
00:56:50,800 --> 00:56:53,239
Speaker 2: with like low end breaking pitches kind of since he

1328
00:56:53,320 --> 00:56:54,920
Speaker 2: was at ASU. It was the first time I saw

1329
00:56:55,000 --> 00:56:58,520
Speaker 2: him at ASU versus Nick Nonzales just before the pandemic hit.

1330
00:56:58,800 --> 00:57:01,760
Speaker 2: But tork has got in sane rob power, insane thirty

1331
00:57:01,840 --> 00:57:04,040
Speaker 2: thirty five plus home run power. You don't know what

1332
00:57:04,040 --> 00:57:06,120
Speaker 2: the adjustments are going to look like. They could be

1333
00:57:06,120 --> 00:57:08,160
Speaker 2: a little bit wonky, but they got Candelario that can

1334
00:57:08,200 --> 00:57:10,480
Speaker 2: play third. Torkalsen it was playing third, but he's a

1335
00:57:10,560 --> 00:57:13,440
Speaker 2: Natural's a gold glove natural third, first basement. He can

1336
00:57:13,520 --> 00:57:15,880
Speaker 2: play that spot, and you might be throwing him in

1337
00:57:15,880 --> 00:57:19,080
Speaker 2: at five or six in the Tigers lineup early on

1338
00:57:19,320 --> 00:57:22,720
Speaker 2: to break camp. So I think when you talk about speculation,

1339
00:57:23,160 --> 00:57:26,200
Speaker 2: what better thing to do than to speculate on Torque

1340
00:57:26,200 --> 00:57:29,160
Speaker 2: at this point, this late in the draft, even though

1341
00:57:29,200 --> 00:57:31,560
Speaker 2: rookies can be a little bit dicey. That's like a

1342
00:57:31,640 --> 00:57:33,800
Speaker 2: pros pro type of guy. Like, this guy is ready.

1343
00:57:33,800 --> 00:57:35,760
Speaker 2: He is bat ready with a position that's there, with

1344
00:57:36,120 --> 00:57:39,160
Speaker 2: a decent amount of support at least leadership that's around him.

1345
00:57:39,440 --> 00:57:42,040
Speaker 2: So I like speculating on Torkalsen on the back end

1346
00:57:42,080 --> 00:57:42,800
Speaker 2: of drafts. Why not?

1347
00:57:43,720 --> 00:57:47,680
Speaker 1: I agree? So the names on Welsh's list Eloja Menez,
