It took me 0:03:26.639 --> 0:03:29.080 strangely long time to get home, but finally got home, 0:03:29.120 --> 0:03:30.680 I watch the end of the Syracuse game, I went 0:03:30.720 --> 0:03:33.720 to bed. I have not slept as well in I 0:03:33.760 --> 0:03:37.000 can't tell you how long. No, I did not wake 0:03:37.080 --> 0:03:38.560 up to my long one off, and I woke up 0:03:38.600 --> 0:03:41.360 so refreshed as a wow. I think you had this 0:03:41.360 --> 0:03:43.200 warning if you drink last night, had a cold beers 0:03:43.720 --> 0:03:46.080 had had a cold home, But it wasn't like. I 0:03:46.120 --> 0:03:49.280 woke up feeling right like I had a beer here 0:03:50.160 --> 0:03:52.480 um to celebrate, and then I had a beer at 0:03:52.480 --> 0:03:55.800 the concert. That was it just col just too and 0:03:56.160 --> 0:04:00.880 I slept. I had a weird dream that intersected wrestling 0:04:01.080 --> 0:04:04.240 with Game of Thrones, which is kind of cool. Like 0:04:04.320 --> 0:04:06.520 some of these wrestlers were like down, but like their 0:04:06.560 --> 0:04:09.760 eyes were like it was like frozen and they blew 0:04:09.840 --> 0:04:15.000 like the night the Yeah, yeah, it's like it was awesome. 0:04:15.040 --> 0:04:17.720 I woke up. So I woke up. This wasn't dreaming 0:04:17.720 --> 0:04:22.640 about work. I woke up feeling incredibly like refreshed and 0:04:22.720 --> 0:04:25.039 I ready to go. And I had to say, like, 0:04:25.080 --> 0:04:26.640 it's not normally how I feel on Monday's Like on 0:04:26.680 --> 0:04:28.039 Monday I wake up, I'm like, all right, I'm ready 0:04:28.040 --> 0:04:29.760 for the week, and then by Tuesday Wednesday, it's like 0:04:29.800 --> 0:04:33.800 a disaster. Today I woke up feeling great. Of course, 0:04:33.839 --> 0:04:35.839 I woke up to a text message from Vona saying 0:04:36.120 --> 0:04:39.480 water was everything and everything was broken. That wasn't great. 0:04:40.760 --> 0:04:43.920 Um sorry, yeah, yeah, it's basically the window popped open 0:04:43.920 --> 0:04:46.240 because the ball the wind last night and all the 0:04:46.320 --> 0:04:49.200 rain came on everything on the remote side. Everything was 0:04:49.240 --> 0:04:52.680 down this morning. First I'm hearing about this, Frank, your 0:04:52.680 --> 0:04:56.200 life seems to be good.

After we're done. 0:05:09.000 --> 0:05:11.560 There were records and videos. They're gonna go out and 0:05:11.560 --> 0:05:14.320 watch college basketball and it's gonna be a great day. Yeah. 0:05:14.360 --> 0:05:16.560 I don't really care as much about college basketball, but 0:05:16.640 --> 0:05:18.240 I'm as long as you're happy, I'm happy. But now 0:05:18.360 --> 0:05:20.839 now you're happy. That now that's straight. So tomorrow at 0:05:20.880 --> 0:05:24.480 twelve ten, when Maryland plays L s U O M, 0:05:24.640 --> 0:05:25.920 whill you be ready for because you don't have it.

Normally I bitch about the bracket. 0:05:55.040 --> 0:05:57.480 I will I bitch and I moan and I complain 0:05:58.200 --> 0:06:01.320 that they got screening the a screwed up draw and listen, 0:06:01.400 --> 0:06:04.159 I'm annoyed that they're in Duke side, of course, but 0:06:04.440 --> 0:06:09.760 playing d C not get screwed. It didn't. I'm very 0:06:09.760 --> 0:06:13.599 excited again, Greg, as long as you're happy. That's not 0:06:13.640 --> 0:06:18.880 true pollocks here, isn't it? I think so? Having guys high, 0:06:18.880 --> 0:06:21.680 I'm sorry you hear all that you have any college 0:06:22.400 --> 0:06:25.560 relation or anything regarding brackets that you want to get 0:06:25.560 --> 0:06:29.080 off your chest before we act. My sister went to Michigan, 0:06:29.360 --> 0:06:33.800 so I'm a I'm a huge Michigan fani. Let's do it. Yeah, 0:06:34.680 --> 0:06:36.440 we're gonna win this year. This is it, we finally 0:06:36.440 --> 0:06:40.000 got it, has more swag than anyone else. Everything's great, Honestly, 0:06:40.000 --> 0:06:42.000 I kind of want Eggy to die, but that's okay. 0:06:42.440 --> 0:06:47.480 Oh no, come on, man, I hate that guy. I 0:06:47.560 --> 0:06:50.920 really really really hate that guy. You know some prestigious college. 0:06:51.440 --> 0:06:53.960 I went to Brandeis University, so we're not really a 0:06:54.080 --> 0:06:57.799 D one school and we actually don't have a football team, 0:06:58.120 --> 0:07:01.200 so pretty easy to refer Michigan. Yeah, that's fair, to 0:07:01.200 --> 0:07:06.360 be honest, Greg, I've never heard of it. Right, it's 0:07:06.440 --> 0:07:10.280 Nelson Figueroa. He went there. I it's ten miles due 0:07:10.280 --> 0:07:15.320 west of Boston. Oh, it's not like it's I don't 0:07:15.320 --> 0:07:19.040 really consider like Harvard or like you of Boston College, 0:07:19.040 --> 0:07:21.680 and brandis is all right, that's fair, that's fair. What's 0:07:21.680 --> 0:07:24.680 going on well a little bit worse because in my 0:07:24.720 --> 0:07:27.360 college is just all right now. I like brand No, 0:07:27.440 --> 0:07:29.160 I like Branda. I'm saying, it's not like I don't. 0:07:29.280 --> 0:07:32.160 They don't like my passing around. I'm having fun, you know, 0:07:32.200 --> 0:07:33.600 I'm great. Frank. I was really good to see you 0:07:33.600 --> 0:07:35.720 at at Towers last week. It was a lot of fun. 0:07:35.760 --> 0:07:38.000 It's not great to see me, n I saw you well. 0:07:38.320 --> 0:07:40.440 I talked to Frank a lot. You just you gave 0:07:40.440 --> 0:07:44.200 me the handshake and you went away busy. I think 0:07:44.240 --> 0:07:48.360 they do. And I understand that Peters doesn't. He doesn't 0:07:48.360 --> 0:07:51.320 want to chat. I went over to Fully's and we 0:07:51.320 --> 0:07:54.520 were chatting it up. We got to guarding Chris Archer 0:07:54.640 --> 0:07:57.200 talking about some other pictures as well. So but it 0:07:57.280 --> 0:07:59.760 was a great time here on Friday at spring creening 0:07:59.840 --> 0:08:02.480 is kind of coming to a head here Greg. We 0:08:02.560 --> 0:08:06.000 can so there's a little there's there's more things sorted out. 0:08:06.800 --> 0:08:07.960 So I thought it was a good time to get 0:08:08.040 --> 0:08:13.520 Nick Cone talk about and do you want to I 0:08:13.600 --> 0:08:15.120 do want a quick on the day before we get 0:08:15.120 --> 0:08:17.160 in a pocket. I honestly desperately needed this to be 0:08:17.160 --> 0:08:18.840 have a draft Sunday. We're gonna do the draft lottery 0:08:18.880 --> 0:08:22.160 coming up an hour to um. But I definitely needed 0:08:22.360 --> 0:08:24.280 to talk to you today, Nick, because Frank came in 0:08:24.320 --> 0:08:25.840 here this morning. He's like, hey, like I gives Nick's 0:08:25.920 --> 0:08:27.280 ideas and what I wanted to talk about? Like you 0:08:27.280 --> 0:08:29.080 have any ideas, Frank? I have not looked at bat 0:08:29.120 --> 0:08:34.079 baseball three days, like college basketball, so focused. So who 0:08:34.080 --> 0:08:35.760 you talking about? Like? Are you kidding me? Right now? 0:08:36.040 --> 0:08:37.360 This is what you think my head is at. So 0:08:37.400 --> 0:08:40.760 thank god you are on this program to help me 0:08:41.000 --> 0:08:44.959 get back. I need it, man, I need it. So um. 0:08:45.120 --> 0:08:49.960 Big story command of yesterday to me is the news 0:08:50.160 --> 0:08:55.040 regarding Corey Kennebell and he has a something with the UCL. 0:08:55.080 --> 0:08:58.040 It doesn't seem fully torn, seems partially torn. They don't 0:08:58.040 --> 0:09:00.160 know that it's Tommy John but it's not great up 0:09:00.679 --> 0:09:05.560 and that means Knable's hurt. That means Jeremy Jeffers is hurt. 0:09:06.000 --> 0:09:07.840 And Craig Counsel came out and said, yeah, we can't 0:09:07.920 --> 0:09:10.640 use Josh had the same way that we've been using him, 0:09:10.640 --> 0:09:14.400 which means we maybe look at Josh Hayter as a 0:09:14.440 --> 0:09:20.000 closer unless Gregg Kimberll gets signed by Milwaukee, a lot 0:09:20.080 --> 0:09:22.199 of question marks, Frank, when it comes to Milwaukee will 0:09:22.200 --> 0:09:24.800 then Yeah. I mean it started with Jeffers a couple 0:09:24.800 --> 0:09:26.920 of weeks ago. Now Corey Kinnable. I was starting to 0:09:26.920 --> 0:09:29.360 move Knable up my draft board because once Jeffers goes 0:09:29.360 --> 0:09:31.760 down it seemed like there was a clearer path and 0:09:31.800 --> 0:09:34.080 I think a DP kind of reflected that as well, 0:09:34.600 --> 0:09:36.760 with Cannable moving up the draft board a little bit. 0:09:36.800 --> 0:09:39.719 But now with this issue, look, I can't even touch, uh, 0:09:39.800 --> 0:09:42.640 you know, or think about drafting Corey Kinnable. It doesn't 0:09:42.640 --> 0:09:46.000 sound good with this UCL issue. They've been talking to 0:09:46.280 --> 0:09:50.920 Craig Kimberl will see what happens there. But as of now, 0:09:51.080 --> 0:09:52.959 like if the season started today and they're in the 0:09:53.000 --> 0:09:55.679 same opportunity, I think it's going to Josh Hayder. So 0:09:55.840 --> 0:09:57.439 you know, I'll kind of throw this back your way, 0:09:57.520 --> 0:09:59.680 Greg and we'll get nixed thoughts in it as well. 0:10:00.280 --> 0:10:02.920 Josh Hayter, what are the closer? And we knew going 0:10:03.040 --> 0:10:06.160 in that he was, I mean he would he would 0:10:06.160 --> 0:10:08.360 be one of the top of three relievers drafted off 0:10:08.360 --> 0:10:10.199 the board at least it might be. I agree, you 0:10:10.200 --> 0:10:12.280 could go ahead and chat. You could lock up that 0:10:12.400 --> 0:10:14.959 Josh Hayter was something beady closer all season long and 0:10:15.040 --> 0:10:17.840 get you your fifty saves or whatnot. He would be 0:10:17.880 --> 0:10:20.079 the top of the lead off the board, top three. 0:10:20.120 --> 0:10:23.120 I completely agree with you. Now, if they signed Kimbroll, 0:10:23.280 --> 0:10:25.200 it's not a disaster because Hayter is gonna be a hater, 0:10:25.520 --> 0:10:28.480 but you probably won't steal many saves as he would 0:10:28.520 --> 0:10:30.719 have with a Connabel with the Jefferies in the back 0:10:30.800 --> 0:10:32.880 end of the bullpen. With Kimberal, Nick, you have to 0:10:32.880 --> 0:10:36.079 believe that Kimberal's the guy hater is gonna have his role, 0:10:36.120 --> 0:10:38.680 which is fine, but it's kind of submithed as a 0:10:38.679 --> 0:10:42.160 middle innings guy. Yeah. No, I agree with all of this. 0:10:42.480 --> 0:10:45.600 I really firmly believe kimber will go to the Brewers. 0:10:45.679 --> 0:10:47.680 It doesn't It makes the most sense in the world. 0:10:47.720 --> 0:10:49.559 Kimberro has often said that he doesn't want to sit out. 0:10:49.600 --> 0:10:51.520 He wants to play this year. He'll take a one 0:10:51.600 --> 0:10:53.760 year deal. If the Brewers want off from that, he'll 0:10:53.760 --> 0:10:55.120 take it. He just wants to get going. It's a 0:10:55.120 --> 0:10:57.760 week away from the season. I I guarantee you they 0:10:57.800 --> 0:11:01.240 were talking last week. They're just finalizing the contra right now. Kimberrell, 0:11:01.480 --> 0:11:05.120 I would say, plus chance, he's he's closing for the Brewers. 0:11:05.480 --> 0:11:07.520 So if you want to take the chance on Hater 0:11:07.640 --> 0:11:11.040 now with the Knebel news, that's fair. I would be 0:11:11.120 --> 0:11:13.360 very surprised if he actually does turn into that night 0:11:13.480 --> 0:11:15.240 in the Guy. Now. There is one thing that is 0:11:15.320 --> 0:11:17.520 very interesting to me that ties into all of this 0:11:18.360 --> 0:11:21.199 is Council came out and said the starting rotation for 0:11:21.240 --> 0:11:25.200 the Brewers, it's not what we expected. Chase Anderson is out, 0:11:25.679 --> 0:11:28.480 we have Corbyn Burns in there, we Brandon Woodriffin there, 0:11:28.480 --> 0:11:30.680 we have peral to all these high upside guys are 0:11:30.679 --> 0:11:33.840 in there. And it's a little surprising given that Jefferson 0:11:33.920 --> 0:11:36.480 kannebl are out. They could use Carpet Purtins in that 0:11:36.520 --> 0:11:39.760 bullpen really badly. So that even to me points a 0:11:39.800 --> 0:11:42.520 little more that they have faith that Craig Kimberle is 0:11:42.920 --> 0:11:46.120 going to be signing with the Brewers and meaning that 0:11:46.160 --> 0:11:48.600 Hater is going to be that fireman guy again. It's 0:11:48.600 --> 0:11:50.280 not gonna be just like last year because they don't 0:11:50.280 --> 0:11:52.800 have as many options as well, So they can't just 0:11:52.920 --> 0:11:54.719 instantly just go cool, We'll go Hater and everything else 0:11:54.720 --> 0:11:55.840 will be fine. They have to be a little bit 0:11:55.880 --> 0:11:58.920 more selective. But I still I still expect Hater not 0:11:59.000 --> 0:12:00.600 to be the de fact that closed or in Milwaukee 0:12:00.640 --> 0:12:02.880 and to be more of that fireman for the entire season. 0:12:03.160 --> 0:12:05.880 Let's get into the rotation with Milwaukee a little bit 0:12:05.920 --> 0:12:09.680 here where Corvin Burns in the rotation, Brandon Woodruff in 0:12:09.679 --> 0:12:12.240 the rotation. I've been kind of on random Woodrofe until 0:12:12.280 --> 0:12:14.600 he got kind of she lacked in his last start. Um, 0:12:14.640 --> 0:12:17.320 Brandon Woodrifs the one that interests me the most. What 0:12:17.400 --> 0:12:21.120 do you know about him? And is their fantasy relevance here? Sure, 0:12:21.559 --> 0:12:23.440 he's definitely someone I would take a flyer on in 0:12:23.480 --> 0:12:25.640 a twelve team or why not? I would say, if 0:12:25.640 --> 0:12:28.120 I had to give a comp to Woodruffe, it's not 0:12:28.160 --> 0:12:30.559 a good one. You're not gonna hear good comps from 0:12:30.559 --> 0:12:34.199 me today. Brandon Woodriff compares to Vents of Alaska's for 0:12:34.280 --> 0:12:37.240 me because it's a lot of fastballs and that's how 0:12:37.240 --> 0:12:39.640 he gets the strikeouts. But the secondary stuff is lacking. 0:12:39.640 --> 0:12:41.520 There isn't a big wid pitch there. It's just really 0:12:41.559 --> 0:12:44.559 too and they don't really impress me. How Woodroffe is 0:12:44.559 --> 0:12:46.560 going to succeed is with good fastball command on a 0:12:46.559 --> 0:12:49.120 given day. I don't actually believe that Woodriff has the 0:12:49.160 --> 0:12:52.280 best basketball command, and that makes me inherently a little 0:12:52.400 --> 0:12:56.080 skeptical of a long season uh of success for Woodroff. 0:12:56.080 --> 0:12:57.200 I think it's gonna be a bit of what I 0:12:57.200 --> 0:12:59.120 call it cherry bomb, where they can be super sweet 0:12:59.360 --> 0:13:01.720 or blow up in your face a lot like his 0:13:01.800 --> 0:13:06.440 teammate Freddy Peralta. So actually, out of those rotation guys, 0:13:06.480 --> 0:13:08.480 would your facing the one I'm targeting, I think Corborn 0:13:08.559 --> 0:13:11.480 Burns has the best chance of turning into a starter 0:13:11.559 --> 0:13:13.679 you can trust for the entirety of the year if 0:13:13.720 --> 0:13:17.000 the Brewers actually are sold on him staying in the rotation, 0:13:17.400 --> 0:13:18.800 if they don't go after Kimber, I want to be 0:13:18.840 --> 0:13:21.600 surprised if Burns is the one that falls out to 0:13:21.679 --> 0:13:27.560 be a reliever once Nelson returns. Let me, actually, before 0:13:27.600 --> 0:13:30.040 I kind of bounce off of what you said about 0:13:30.080 --> 0:13:32.160 Corby Burren, you mentioned Jimmy Nelson. I need to kind 0:13:32.160 --> 0:13:34.360 of jump on that. Freaking I got a bit of 0:13:34.360 --> 0:13:38.040 a heated debate yesterday and it was in regards to 0:13:38.200 --> 0:13:40.120 Jimmy Nelson, and it kind of led to Jimmy Nelson 0:13:40.200 --> 0:13:43.559 versus Drew palmeran's conversation and listen, I'd try to Jimmy 0:13:43.600 --> 0:13:45.560 Nelson that rookie year. I was really excited about him 0:13:45.559 --> 0:13:49.600 back in I guess, yeah, obviously he was much better 0:13:49.640 --> 0:13:53.080 in seventeen. Missed all of last year eighteen, not starting 0:13:53.080 --> 0:13:56.040 this season in the rotation. He's building up our strength 0:13:56.080 --> 0:14:00.000 and whatnot in twenty nineteen. I'm trying to temp from 0:14:00.080 --> 0:14:03.280 expectations were Gimmy, yes, you wanted a flyer on him, 0:14:03.400 --> 0:14:06.200 Absolutely no issue. But this is a guy we have 0:14:06.320 --> 0:14:09.120 that seen pitch consistently. Of course, in a year and 0:14:09.120 --> 0:14:11.920 a half, it gets a lot to ask for to 0:14:12.160 --> 0:14:14.120 assume he's just gonna be Jimmy Nelson again. The same 0:14:14.120 --> 0:14:17.000 with Jimmy Nelson. We saw Frank is a little bit 0:14:17.000 --> 0:14:20.880 more optimistic when it comes to Nelson. What say you, Yeah, 0:14:20.960 --> 0:14:22.760 it's I keep going back and forth a bit. I 0:14:22.800 --> 0:14:24.360 think early in the off season and we were all 0:14:24.400 --> 0:14:27.040 really excited about it because he missed the entirety of 0:14:27.040 --> 0:14:30.360 two eighteen and we thought he'd be pitching then alright, fine, 0:14:30.400 --> 0:14:32.320 then take off the entire season. You should be all 0:14:32.360 --> 0:14:34.920 ready to go and back to normal by the time 0:14:34.960 --> 0:14:37.240 spring training hits and the verular season. And that's not 0:14:37.280 --> 0:14:40.200 really what we've seen. Uh. It sounds like he'll need 0:14:40.280 --> 0:14:42.480 till the middle of April, maybe a little bit later 0:14:42.520 --> 0:14:45.240 than that, to return into the rotation. He just pitched yesterday, 0:14:45.240 --> 0:14:48.480 I believe was four innings abound, fifty seven pitches. My 0:14:48.560 --> 0:14:52.360 memory serves me right where he was touching well, he 0:14:52.440 --> 0:14:55.160 was sitting ninety four last year with that sinker. That 0:14:55.240 --> 0:14:57.480 does give me a little bit hesitation. He's obviously still 0:14:57.560 --> 0:14:59.360 ramping up a little bit, so that could get better. 0:15:00.000 --> 0:15:02.800 I'm a little hesitant. I mean, the guy killed it 0:15:02.800 --> 0:15:06.640 with his curveball, had that consistent sinker that was cruising 0:15:06.640 --> 0:15:08.240 for him. I mean, this was a very very bad 0:15:08.280 --> 0:15:10.800 pitch for him in two thousand sixteen, turned it around, 0:15:10.800 --> 0:15:12.880 was a very positive one for in two thousand seventeen. 0:15:13.440 --> 0:15:16.600 I'm hesitant to invest in him. The one benefit you 0:15:16.680 --> 0:15:18.600 do get getting Nelson is that he will be on 0:15:18.640 --> 0:15:21.280 the i L entering the year, and there are very 0:15:21.320 --> 0:15:24.480 few good i L spots early in the season. I 0:15:24.480 --> 0:15:27.080 would say Andrew Heaney is a decent one that you 0:15:27.120 --> 0:15:28.760 can just stash in that because he'll be back in 0:15:28.960 --> 0:15:31.480 two three weeks. That's easy saying with Nelson, I don't 0:15:31.480 --> 0:15:32.840 want to go for the guys that are going to 0:15:32.920 --> 0:15:35.560 be out until the middle of July or something like that, 0:15:35.680 --> 0:15:37.520 like Dinelson Lamett. I think that's just a kind of 0:15:37.520 --> 0:15:39.160 a waste because you will have to go through those 0:15:39.200 --> 0:15:41.760 aisle spots during the year. So I like Nelson in 0:15:41.800 --> 0:15:45.640 that respect. I don't expect two seventeen again. At the 0:15:45.680 --> 0:15:47.440 same time, I can see a three seven ear ay 0:15:47.560 --> 0:15:51.000 with a twenty three K rates. Maybe it would obviously 0:15:51.120 --> 0:15:53.600 upside for more, but I think he can help you 0:15:53.720 --> 0:15:56.080 when he is pitching. It's just not the massive impact 0:15:56.080 --> 0:15:58.920 that we thought we'd be getting this late in drafts. 0:15:59.000 --> 0:16:01.240 That also becoming one of those d L guys as well. 0:16:01.320 --> 0:16:02.720 So whatever he can use there that he could be 0:16:02.720 --> 0:16:06.960 at sixt eight weeks. That's what I heard. Yeah, and 0:16:07.040 --> 0:16:09.280 I did. I didn't think I made that up, did I. 0:16:09.280 --> 0:16:11.480 I haven't seen anything yet. I was looking into it 0:16:11.600 --> 0:16:14.440 last night. The last thing that I saw was they 0:16:14.480 --> 0:16:17.280 weren't gonna be able to figure it out until they 0:16:17.280 --> 0:16:20.240 get back from Tokyo. Maybe making Maybe I'm making that up, 0:16:20.240 --> 0:16:22.480 but I didn't see I didn't see an official timetable 0:16:22.520 --> 0:16:25.280 we get from mad Olson. That would be terrible because 0:16:25.280 --> 0:16:28.320 I have him everywhere. It was very excited about him. Uh. 0:16:28.360 --> 0:16:30.880 If I were ranking the brewers starting pitchers here, I 0:16:30.920 --> 0:16:34.240 would just I would go to me, it's Jimmy Nelson, 0:16:34.680 --> 0:16:38.960 would druff. I think it's close between Burns and Freddy Peralta. 0:16:39.040 --> 0:16:41.480 But I do think like once Jimmy Nelson comes back 0:16:41.520 --> 0:16:45.280 into the rotation, someone's probably gonna get booted here, right Nick, 0:16:45.320 --> 0:16:47.840 Because as of right now, they have Zach Davies in there, 0:16:47.840 --> 0:16:51.320 they have Corbin Burns, they have Freddy Peralta. Freddie Peralta, Um, 0:16:51.360 --> 0:16:53.200 you know made some noise last year, remember that starting 0:16:53.280 --> 0:16:55.400 in Colorado where he just kind of wowed everyone. But 0:16:55.440 --> 0:16:58.440 he throws his fastball like seventy eight percent at a time, 0:16:58.480 --> 0:17:01.600 so kind of reads me a little bit there. Who 0:17:01.640 --> 0:17:03.840 do you think it's the boom real quick? If when 0:17:03.920 --> 0:17:07.359 Jimmy Nilson, Jimmy Nelson comes back, if I had to guess, 0:17:07.400 --> 0:17:09.960 it probably would be Peralta. Concerning he is someone that 0:17:10.040 --> 0:17:12.000 is really good or really bad, it could be Zach Davies, though, 0:17:12.040 --> 0:17:14.560 don't forget that he can be pretty meodoca on his own. 0:17:15.160 --> 0:17:17.119 When we come back, Nigga, answer the question of who 0:17:17.160 --> 0:17:19.919 do you want right now, Drew Palmerans or Jimmy Nelson, 0:17:20.119 --> 0:17:22.480 and well go often to these other pets that we're 0:17:22.480 --> 0:17:24.680 here a little bit about that's guaranteed themselves.

A whole lot 0:20:05.040 --> 0:20:09.040 going on with you right now. So Nick, before we 0:20:09.080 --> 0:20:11.440 continue on to ask the question right this second, who 0:20:11.440 --> 0:20:14.159 would you rather have Jew Palmer Ends or Jimmy Nelson. 0:20:14.359 --> 0:20:18.240 What's your answer, Jimmy Nelson Jr. Palmer Rands, especially for 0:20:18.240 --> 0:20:21.120 a twelve teamer, I feel is he needs to show 0:20:21.160 --> 0:20:24.320 me a lot more secondary pitch. And how about you're 0:20:24.320 --> 0:20:27.159 showing you that he's healthy rather than the one that's well. Now, 0:20:27.200 --> 0:20:29.480 I think he's healthy. I think he's healthy. Last year 0:20:29.480 --> 0:20:31.439 he was averaging about the eighty nine and change on 0:20:31.480 --> 0:20:34.760 his fastbay has already been in spring training. That's essentially 0:20:34.800 --> 0:20:37.320 where he has been for the other years of his career. 0:20:37.480 --> 0:20:40.000 So I think he's healthy again. He he got past 0:20:40.000 --> 0:20:41.960 that dead arm thing, but yeah, it could you know, 0:20:42.000 --> 0:20:43.920 it could show up again. He could hit the d 0:20:44.119 --> 0:20:47.440 L later on as his elbow bothers him again. But honestly, 0:20:47.440 --> 0:20:48.880 for the price that you're playing with Drew palmer Rands, 0:20:48.920 --> 0:20:50.600 that's fine as long as you get some production right 0:20:50.600 --> 0:20:53.639 now from him. Well, Jimmy Nelson has the upside and 0:20:53.720 --> 0:20:56.240 actually being a good starter through the year I think 0:20:56.240 --> 0:20:58.480 we expect more production out of the adit from him. 0:20:58.840 --> 0:21:02.359 Jaw Palmer, you're chasing that three three ear ray or 0:21:02.440 --> 0:21:06.000 so that he used to have. But I always came 0:21:06.040 --> 0:21:07.520 with a ton of regression. It was always a really 0:21:07.560 --> 0:21:10.480 short ips as things. We started about five and five 0:21:10.480 --> 0:21:12.040
