Speaker 1: through NFL, it takes you through MLB drafts next year two.

17
00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:51,000
Speaker 1: So get on that. So, without further ado, let's hit

18
00:00:51,080 --> 00:00:53,159
Speaker 1: the waiver wire hard in Week four and add some

19
00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:57,200
Speaker 1: players to our rosters. Let's kick things off with Patrick Wisdom,

20
00:00:57,240 --> 00:01:00,600
Speaker 1: third baseman for the Chicago Cubs roster and roughly sixty

21
00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:03,200
Speaker 1: three percent of leagues. Now, Patrick Wisdom does have a

22
00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:05,400
Speaker 1: high strikeout rate, but he is off to a tourred

23
00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:08,679
Speaker 1: start this April with eight home runs and thirteen RBI,

24
00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:12,280
Speaker 1: hitting two eighty one. He also has an incredible hard

25
00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:15,840
Speaker 1: hit rate around sixty five percent, which ranks highest in

26
00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:18,720
Speaker 1: the league, as does his ninety five point nine miles

27
00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:22,120
Speaker 1: per hour average exit velocity. Now we know there's downside

28
00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:24,680
Speaker 1: in streakiness when it comes to Patrick Wisdom, and yes,

29
00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:27,640
Speaker 1: this recent run of pitcher she's face is probably a

30
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:30,800
Speaker 1: little underwhelming, but it doesn't matter. Third base is a

31
00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:32,760
Speaker 1: tough spot. If he's still available in your league, and

32
00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:36,160
Speaker 1: roughly about thirty plus percent he is, Patrick Wisdom is

33
00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:38,959
Speaker 1: worth adding and continue to ride to the hot streak

34
00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:43,600
Speaker 1: until eventually it goes cold. Domingo Herman, starting pitcher for

35
00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:46,800
Speaker 1: the New York Yankees, forty three percent rostered. It was

36
00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:49,680
Speaker 1: a rough start to the season for Dimingo Herman, who

37
00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:52,040
Speaker 1: gave up five earned runs in his first seven innings,

38
00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:55,200
Speaker 1: but last week against the Minnesota Twins, that six inning

39
00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:58,480
Speaker 1: performance with eleven strikeouts and zero walks was certainly eye opening.

40
00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:00,720
Speaker 1: The Yankees need help with starting pay. They're running a

41
00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:03,600
Speaker 1: little thin right now with injuries to guys like Carlos

42
00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:07,520
Speaker 1: Rodan still lingering. So in the meantime and possibly the

43
00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:10,360
Speaker 1: long term, Dimingo Herman is a guy worth adding because

44
00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:12,320
Speaker 1: the Yankees we know are going to be a good team,

45
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:14,240
Speaker 1: know they're going to be a contender. There will be

46
00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:16,560
Speaker 1: some bumps along the road, but the way starting pitchers

47
00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:20,320
Speaker 1: are dropping like flies recently, Dimingo Herman is certainly worth

48
00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:22,240
Speaker 1: adding to any roster, and the fact that he's still

49
00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:25,600
Speaker 1: available in so many leagues is frankly shocking considering you

50
00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:27,880
Speaker 1: have seen upside from him in the past with the

51
00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:31,359
Speaker 1: New York Yankees. That includes an eighteen win season back

52
00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:34,880
Speaker 1: in twenty nineteen. Zach Nedo shortstopped for the Los Angeles

53
00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:38,280
Speaker 1: Angels of Anaheim forty five percent rostered now. Nedell got

54
00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:41,040
Speaker 1: off to a great start in DOUBLEA this year over

55
00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:43,960
Speaker 1: his first seven games, hitting over four hundred with a

56
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:48,440
Speaker 1: five hundred OBP and a thirteen hundred OPS. But it's

57
00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:50,840
Speaker 1: been a little rocky road in his early debut. He

58
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:53,280
Speaker 1: skipped Triple A all together. And this is a guy

59
00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:55,040
Speaker 1: that was just drafted a few years ago. It is

60
00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:57,560
Speaker 1: worth noting though, that it wasn't like the Angels called

61
00:02:57,639 --> 00:02:59,760
Speaker 1: him up because it was an injury and they were desperate.

62
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:02,760
Speaker 1: They felt he was ready. So give him some time,

63
00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:05,160
Speaker 1: give him some patience, and see if Netto can develop

64
00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:07,880
Speaker 1: into something of a regular, everyday player that you feel

65
00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:10,040
Speaker 1: good about in fantasy. He does have a little bit

66
00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:12,280
Speaker 1: of speed as well in those roto leagues, and he's

67
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:15,000
Speaker 1: got some pop. Despite the fact that he's more diminutive

68
00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:18,360
Speaker 1: in terms of size, zach Netto has upside. Zach Netto

69
00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:21,040
Speaker 1: is here for the Angels, and apparently he's gonna get

70
00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:23,679
Speaker 1: a pretty long look. So be patient at him now,

71
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:25,799
Speaker 1: keep him on your bench, and if he starts to hit,

72
00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:28,920
Speaker 1: he becomes either a trade bait piece or potentially your

73
00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:32,120
Speaker 1: next starting middle infielder. Sticking with the Angels, let's talk

74
00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:36,400
Speaker 1: about Jose Kihada, the relief pitcher for the Angels, rostered

75
00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:39,080
Speaker 1: in just twenty two percent of leagues. Now, it's worth

76
00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:42,440
Speaker 1: noting that Kihada has two saves already on the year,

77
00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:44,800
Speaker 1: and he's also got some holds as well, with three

78
00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:48,160
Speaker 1: going into the recording of this video. Kahada so far

79
00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:50,440
Speaker 1: on the season has six strikeouts and seven innings, and

80
00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:54,160
Speaker 1: typically teams don't like to have lefties as closers, but

81
00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:57,200
Speaker 1: you know what, if he's their best option eventually, over time,

82
00:03:57,280 --> 00:04:00,400
Speaker 1: Kihada might actually be the guy for saves as the

83
00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:03,000
Speaker 1: season drags on. And if you are desperately looking for

84
00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:05,800
Speaker 1: somebody to fill that relief pitcher spot or to get

85
00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:08,760
Speaker 1: some saves off the waiver wire, cheap Gahata is your guy.

86
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:10,960
Speaker 1: Does he have to close a role on Lockdown? Not

87
00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:14,280
Speaker 1: quite yet, but this is about being proactive, not reactive.

88
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:17,440
Speaker 1: So let's end him now while he's cheaper before everybody

89
00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:20,880
Speaker 1: else does if he gets announced as the formal closer

90
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:23,240
Speaker 1: the rest of the season. Let's take a break from

91
00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:26,280
Speaker 1: Los Angeles Angels shell we and to talk about Mauricio Dubon,

92
00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:29,839
Speaker 1: outfielder for the Houston Astros, rostered in just around twenty

93
00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:32,479
Speaker 1: percent of leagues. Now, Chas McCormick just went on the

94
00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:34,640
Speaker 1: il he was doing with some vision issues and some

95
00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:37,000
Speaker 1: back issues. He was a guy. Originally I was gonna

96
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:38,919
Speaker 1: tell you to add You might want to add him anyway,

97
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:42,400
Speaker 1: but Mauricio Dubon might be an early interesting ad as well.

98
00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:44,679
Speaker 1: In fourteen games so far this year, he has eleven

99
00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:46,640
Speaker 1: run scored. They're not afraid to hit him at the

100
00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:48,360
Speaker 1: top of the order, and he's hitting three to twenty

101
00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:49,720
Speaker 1: eight on the season, So he can help you with

102
00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:52,760
Speaker 1: batting average at least in the early going. Right now,

103
00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:54,880
Speaker 1: he's reaching base at a three fifty seven clip. And

104
00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:56,560
Speaker 1: I'm telling you, as long as he continues to hit

105
00:04:56,600 --> 00:04:58,719
Speaker 1: towards the top of this lineup, Duban could be a

106
00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:02,120
Speaker 1: very useful quiet piece in deeper leagues and again help

107
00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:05,040
Speaker 1: you in roto batting average, which is always a terrible deficit.

108
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:08,000
Speaker 1: Dubon is more of a short term ad, whereas McCormick

109
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:09,800
Speaker 1: more of the long term variety. So why would add

110
00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:12,280
Speaker 1: mcormick stick him on the IL pick up Dubon as

111
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:14,600
Speaker 1: well for cheap plug him in, and then when McCormick

112
00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:16,279
Speaker 1: comes back, you can make the decision of who you

113
00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:18,919
Speaker 1: want to play. What a fun game. I promise I

114
00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:21,640
Speaker 1: wouldn't talk more Angels, but you know what, I'm a liar.

115
00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:25,960
Speaker 1: One more Griffin Canning, starting pitcher for the Angels, rostered

116
00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:28,200
Speaker 1: in just ten percent of leagues. Now, if you look

117
00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:31,000
Speaker 1: at Gryffin Canning in the grand scheme of things, he

118
00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:33,080
Speaker 1: has two hundred and eighteen strikeouts and two hundred and

119
00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:36,679
Speaker 1: fourteen innings. The problem is he has eighty one walks

120
00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:38,600
Speaker 1: to go along with it, so at times the command

121
00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:41,480
Speaker 1: could be a little off. But considering the upside of

122
00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:43,720
Speaker 1: Gryffin Canning, in the fact he's just twenty six years old,

123
00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:45,040
Speaker 1: and also the way some of the guys in the

124
00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:48,159
Speaker 1: Angels rotation have pitched outside of chohel TONI this year,

125
00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:51,080
Speaker 1: I think Canning is worth a speculative ad and to

126
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:54,080
Speaker 1: see where things take it from there. As of recording this,

127
00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:56,400
Speaker 1: he has a start against the Yankees today, so barring

128
00:05:56,480 --> 00:05:59,680
Speaker 1: him getting absolutely obliterated, I would still add him even

129
00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:02,040
Speaker 1: if he's just kind of middling, because Gryffincanning is the

130
00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:04,000
Speaker 1: kind of picture that if you have him on your

131
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:06,320
Speaker 1: bench and eventually an injury opens up a spot or

132
00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:09,040
Speaker 1: he starts to find some consistency, he could be a

133
00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:13,080
Speaker 1: pretty reliable to start pitcher as time goes on. So Gryffincanning,

134
00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:15,039
Speaker 1: because of the upside, because of what he offers, and

135
00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:17,240
Speaker 1: because of the price right now, I think you could

136
00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:19,160
Speaker 1: sneak him through the waiver wire and I would not

137
00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:21,120
Speaker 1: be shocked if he end up making more starts than

138
00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:24,360
Speaker 1: you realize for the Angels in twenty twenty three. There

139
00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:26,640
Speaker 1: I'm done. No more Angels. I got it out of

140
00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:28,919
Speaker 1: my system. Well, there you have it. Those are the

141
00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:30,880
Speaker 1: names to add in week four in MLB. Who are

142
00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:33,240
