1
00:00:19,640 --> 00:00:23,440
Speaker 1: Fish and Filtered Episode seventy. You have a packed episode today,

2
00:00:23,440 --> 00:00:27,000
Speaker 1: a lot to talk about with our bold predictions. We

3
00:00:27,080 --> 00:00:30,960
Speaker 1: did these last year. It was Isaac Elin myself. They

4
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:34,560
Speaker 1: didn't go too well, you know, that's that's why they're bold.

5
00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:36,200
Speaker 1: You know, we were shooting for the stars. We're gonna

6
00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:38,920
Speaker 1: see what happens. But we're gonna do this again. Each

7
00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:40,600
Speaker 1: of us are gonna have four predictions, and we have

8
00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:43,920
Speaker 1: a special guest on Alex Carver Fish on the Farm.

9
00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:47,040
Speaker 1: So I'm excited to do this, Isaac. We're just less

10
00:00:47,040 --> 00:00:48,599
Speaker 1: than a week away from opening day more or less

11
00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:51,840
Speaker 1: when this comes out. So excited to watch Sandy versus

12
00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:56,160
Speaker 1: schemes now confirmed by the pirates. So yeah, it should

13
00:00:56,160 --> 00:00:57,160
Speaker 1: be a good It should be a good one. And

14
00:00:57,240 --> 00:00:59,240
Speaker 1: I'm excited for March twenty seven.

15
00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:02,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, we're recording this on Tuesday, March eighteenth. The Marlins

16
00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:06,360
Speaker 2: have about, i want to say, five more spring games,

17
00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:08,720
Speaker 2: not including the Yankee game on March twenty fifth.

18
00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:10,160
Speaker 3: Yeah.

19
00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:12,920
Speaker 2: Really, now's the perfect time to go over these bold predictions.

20
00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:16,480
Speaker 2: And today we have two of our elder staff members

21
00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:19,320
Speaker 2: are founder mister Eli Sussan and the founder of Fish

22
00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:21,480
Speaker 2: on the Farm, Alex Carver st It's going to be

23
00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:24,640
Speaker 2: a fun time and it's bold predictions are always a

24
00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:26,160
Speaker 2: good time, so I'm very excited to get into it.

25
00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:29,560
Speaker 1: I'm glad you said the two most elder members of

26
00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:32,440
Speaker 1: Fish on first, because I think that's how well we'll

27
00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:36,880
Speaker 1: determine the order. We'll go from oldest to youngest. We'll

28
00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:39,280
Speaker 1: start with Carver, then we'll go with Eli Isaac, and

29
00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:42,520
Speaker 1: I'll wrap it up. So we're doing four each, and

30
00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:45,399
Speaker 1: let's make them bold boys. I think we should, uh,

31
00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:47,800
Speaker 1: we should shoot for the stars with all these So

32
00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:49,040
Speaker 1: Carter take us away.

33
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:51,520
Speaker 3: Wow, thanks for having me on.

34
00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:54,680
Speaker 4: I appreciate I know what I would go with, but

35
00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:56,360
Speaker 4: I know that Isaac wants to do it, so I

36
00:01:57,040 --> 00:01:58,800
Speaker 4: and he has a little bit more insight than me

37
00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:01,200
Speaker 4: because he's watched this guy a little bit. But I

38
00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:02,600
Speaker 4: will go with the guy who's gonna start in the

39
00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:04,680
Speaker 4: minor leagues, and I'll go with Augusta Ramirez.

40
00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:06,600
Speaker 3: This is gonna be my first bull prediction.

41
00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:11,160
Speaker 4: Augustin Ramirez will come up this season as soon as

42
00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:14,120
Speaker 4: he is eligible, and I will say for my first

43
00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:16,680
Speaker 4: bull prediction that he hits twenty home runs in the

44
00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:20,760
Speaker 4: major leagues. That is Augusta Ramirez hitting twenty home runs

45
00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:23,320
Speaker 4: for the Marlins powers in the tank. I don't think

46
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:25,000
Speaker 4: he will spend as much time as you guys think

47
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:27,000
Speaker 4: that he will at catcher. I think they're going to

48
00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:31,480
Speaker 4: take that defensive burden off of him, and I will

49
00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:33,120
Speaker 4: say that he will be in the lineup as a

50
00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:35,520
Speaker 4: bat first, and I think that he will hit a

51
00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:37,400
Speaker 4: lot of home runs even in Miami.

52
00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:39,160
Speaker 3: I don't care. I don't care.

53
00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:42,720
Speaker 4: This guy is a power or first bat that is

54
00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:45,200
Speaker 4: for real. He showed it to Spring with eggs and velocities.

55
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:49,360
Speaker 4: I like Augustin Ramirez in Major League Baseball to hit twenty.

56
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:49,959
Speaker 3: Home runs this season.

57
00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:53,919
Speaker 2: Okay, well, well, I'm with you in the sense that

58
00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:55,520
Speaker 2: he's gonna have enough time in the big league to

59
00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:59,200
Speaker 2: accumulate them many home runs. And I think the ballparks

60
00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:01,360
Speaker 2: that they're gonna play in will certainly help, you know,

61
00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:03,880
Speaker 2: all over the nleast, it's pretty hit her friendly for

62
00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:06,240
Speaker 2: especially right handed hitters. So yeah, I like it. I

63
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:09,480
Speaker 2: have an Augusty Ramirez related prediction, but I might save

64
00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:10,200
Speaker 2: it for the end.

65
00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:13,840
Speaker 5: So anyway, Well, on was the time many Marlins rookie

66
00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:17,320
Speaker 5: hit twenty plus home Earns as I think. I know

67
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:20,800
Speaker 5: Stanton did it in an abbreviated season, kind of similar

68
00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:24,040
Speaker 5: to Augustine. It was fifteen years ago when Stanton hit

69
00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:26,800
Speaker 5: twenty two. But there are not a ton of examples,

70
00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:28,720
Speaker 5: especially guys that haven't even had a taste of the

71
00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:32,120
Speaker 5: big league yet. In his case, where this would be,

72
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:34,960
Speaker 5: it'd be very impressive, and I'm not totally I'm not

73
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:37,120
Speaker 5: against it at all. I could see that possibility happening,

74
00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:39,880
Speaker 5: just because for as high as we were last season

75
00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:41,520
Speaker 5: on him, I think his stock has only gone up

76
00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:43,720
Speaker 5: this spring. The quality of his at bats and the

77
00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:45,320
Speaker 5: raw power is awesome.

78
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:49,040
Speaker 2: Justin Moore in twenty fifteen and this his rookie year.

79
00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:51,040
Speaker 2: He had some cup of coffee at twenty fourteen, but

80
00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:53,320
Speaker 2: in his rookie year, Justin Boor hit twenty three, So

81
00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:53,720
Speaker 2: there you go.

82
00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:57,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, so yeah, No, I mean, Augustin's had an awesome spring.

83
00:03:57,440 --> 00:03:59,880
Speaker 1: He showed a lot of capture two defensively, like it's

84
00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:04,240
Speaker 1: improvement there. Honestly, I know you're still not totally convinced, Carver,

85
00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:06,160
Speaker 1: but but I think you know he'll stick there for now.

86
00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:08,600
Speaker 1: They're gonna want him there obviously. I mean, so they

87
00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:11,400
Speaker 1: traded him to do and yeah, he's he's out a

88
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:13,200
Speaker 1: fun spring, and you know what we're talking about, like

89
00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:15,800
Speaker 1: guys who could potentially, you know, force force the front

90
00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:17,560
Speaker 1: office's hand. I was like, that was one of the

91
00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:20,000
Speaker 1: guy I mentioned, and not that he forced it, but

92
00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:22,440
Speaker 1: he definitely showed that this guy's more than major league ready,

93
00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:25,640
Speaker 1: at least on the offensive side. So Artie Eli take

94
00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:26,119
Speaker 1: us away.

95
00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:30,039
Speaker 5: I will start with my least bold prediction here. I

96
00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:31,680
Speaker 5: want to get one on the board that I think

97
00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:35,960
Speaker 5: is reasonably bold, but also one that is more attainable,

98
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:39,400
Speaker 5: and that is Exavier Edwards, building upon his awesome half

99
00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:41,320
Speaker 5: season last year over the course of a full season,

100
00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:44,839
Speaker 5: putting up at least four wins above replacement. But fan

101
00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:47,960
Speaker 5: grafts accounting, now, if you simply double what he did

102
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:49,560
Speaker 5: last year, he gets there. He put up two point

103
00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:51,360
Speaker 5: two last year. He could simply double that and he

104
00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:54,200
Speaker 5: gets there. The thing is, he hit three twenty eight

105
00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:58,839
Speaker 5: last season and his babbit was through the roof. He's

106
00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:00,560
Speaker 5: not going to sustain that. I think everybody's in an

107
00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:03,560
Speaker 5: agreement on that. Yet, when you look at any projections

108
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:06,520
Speaker 5: on him, the most optimistic one I saw from Steamer

109
00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:09,200
Speaker 5: had him at three point two, which is where I

110
00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:12,040
Speaker 5: get to this number and feel sufficiently bold. It's well

111
00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:15,200
Speaker 5: above any projection. It would also be the highest number

112
00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:19,719
Speaker 5: for any Marlin shorts in a season since Hanley Ramirez

113
00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:21,560
Speaker 5: going back all that time.

114
00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:22,280
Speaker 6: It's even.

115
00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:26,320
Speaker 5: Of what Jose Race did in his Marlin season. It's

116
00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:30,480
Speaker 5: above anything that Mickey Roe did and his defensively fueled

117
00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:35,800
Speaker 5: success during his Marlin tenure. But Edwards, most of this

118
00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:37,680
Speaker 5: is about his offense. It's about him still being a

119
00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:40,200
Speaker 5: very good hitter. He's been an on base machine in

120
00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:43,480
Speaker 5: the spring in a way that I think is somewhat sustainable.

121
00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:45,440
Speaker 5: Even if the hits go down, the walks are going

122
00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:47,440
Speaker 5: to be there once it gets on. He's a hyper

123
00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:50,760
Speaker 5: efficient based dealer. He's been very forthcoming the spring about

124
00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:53,360
Speaker 5: how he wants to steal bases just as frequently as

125
00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:55,600
Speaker 5: he did last year, which would put on pace to

126
00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:57,680
Speaker 5: be one of the league's most valuable base runners in

127
00:05:57,720 --> 00:05:59,880
Speaker 5: a way that it is also going to be reflected

128
00:05:59,880 --> 00:06:04,240
Speaker 5: in his value. I think his defense is viable at

129
00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:06,120
Speaker 5: this point. It did not look pretty for most of the

130
00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:09,159
Speaker 5: last year. Even watching as we're recording this the most

131
00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:11,480
Speaker 5: recent spring game, there are still times where his arm

132
00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:14,120
Speaker 5: strength does hold him back and some of his other

133
00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:17,880
Speaker 5: mechanics when it comes to all aspects of being a

134
00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:21,120
Speaker 5: shorts up. Yet I think, all things considered, that won't

135
00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:22,800
Speaker 5: drag down his value too much. And I think he

136
00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:25,599
Speaker 5: gets this number in a way that would probably make

137
00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:28,200
Speaker 5: him the most valuable overall position player on the Marlins

138
00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:28,680
Speaker 5: this season.

139
00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:32,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, seventy games last year and he had two more

140
00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:35,880
Speaker 4: on Baseball Reference. I don't know what it was on pangraphs.

141
00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:36,360
Speaker 3: He said four.

142
00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:38,680
Speaker 4: I don't know what was on Panagrafts, but a two

143
00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:43,279
Speaker 4: were view war I guess I should say. But yeah,

144
00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:45,320
Speaker 4: I definitely could see it. This guy's going to play

145
00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:46,919
Speaker 4: the whole year. He's going to be on the Marlins

146
00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:50,440
Speaker 4: all year long. That speed is just amazing. I don't

147
00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:53,560
Speaker 4: see that diminishing anytime soon in his age twenty five season.

148
00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:55,120
Speaker 4: I guess this is coming into so I don't think

149
00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:57,240
Speaker 4: that's going to diminish. I think that his defense will

150
00:06:57,240 --> 00:06:59,560
Speaker 4: get better, Actually, I really do. I think that his

151
00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:01,640
Speaker 4: defense is going to get better, especially as they spends

152
00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:05,000
Speaker 4: more time middle endfields, so especially shorts up, so if

153
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:07,200
Speaker 4: he spends a lot of time there, I really do

154
00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:10,160
Speaker 4: think that it's not gonna come by way of power.

155
00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:12,600
Speaker 4: I really don't think that he's gonna come into a

156
00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:16,280
Speaker 4: huge power search. But I do think that with the

157
00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:19,920
Speaker 4: multitude of speed that he provides, and if he gets

158
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:22,160
Speaker 4: more comfortable in the infield, which just seems like he

159
00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:26,200
Speaker 4: is doing, I like Xavier Edwards, I think he's going

160
00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:27,480
Speaker 4: to be the best player on this team.

161
00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:29,960
Speaker 3: I can see this happening for sure.

162
00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:37,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, Well, two of mine are already taken off

163
00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:39,320
Speaker 2: the board, not exactly the same thing, but two players

164
00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:41,680
Speaker 2: that was focused on it. But I am going to

165
00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:47,000
Speaker 2: go with a Carver aided one. Mister Ryan Weathers rocking

166
00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:49,200
Speaker 2: a new number, rocking a new body. I think that

167
00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:50,920
Speaker 2: he's going to strike out at least two hundred batters

168
00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:53,480
Speaker 2: this inning. I think this is it's a very very

169
00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:55,840
Speaker 2: bold one because even if he's thrown two hundred and

170
00:07:55,880 --> 00:07:58,080
Speaker 2: forty two and he's in his major league career and

171
00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:01,080
Speaker 2: he has not struck out two hundred guys in those innings,

172
00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:05,560
Speaker 2: he struck out only one hundred and ninety eight. So

173
00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:07,400
Speaker 2: this bring he is striking out about her purning. But

174
00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:09,520
Speaker 2: I do think this is all health related. If he

175
00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:12,240
Speaker 2: is healthy he makes twenty eight to thirty two starts.

176
00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:14,200
Speaker 2: I can see a world where he's in the one

177
00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:16,160
Speaker 2: seventy five to one to ninety five range.

178
00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:17,520
Speaker 1: Hence the boldness.

179
00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:19,120
Speaker 2: I'm in a round up and say that he has

180
00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:21,680
Speaker 2: a first two hundred strikeout season since just a few

181
00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:24,560
Speaker 2: years ago when sanduelle Contra had a two hundred strikeout season.

182
00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:26,200
Speaker 2: I won't say two hundred innings is I think that's

183
00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:28,720
Speaker 2: a little bit too bold, But two hundred strikeouts maybe

184
00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:31,120
Speaker 2: average eleven ks per nine. I think it's doable.

185
00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:34,640
Speaker 5: Off the top of my head, I think that would

186
00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:38,839
Speaker 5: shatter the Marlins. Well, I think it's hasus Lozardo right now.

187
00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:42,120
Speaker 1: Who had two AA and twenty FI.

188
00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:46,439
Speaker 5: The first name that came to mind with a lefty

189
00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:49,400
Speaker 5: Marlin starter. I don't know what what is wrong with me.

190
00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:51,240
Speaker 5: The first thing that came to mind was one Caleb

191
00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:53,960
Speaker 5: Smith in twenty nine. He got to a number that

192
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:56,720
Speaker 5: like only al Lader had gone to. So Lizardo shattered that.

193
00:08:56,840 --> 00:08:59,400
Speaker 5: But actually wasn't that large long ago that Caleb Smith

194
00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:02,760
Speaker 5: was on the short list of lefty strikeout artists in

195
00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:06,040
Speaker 5: Marlin's history. So I hope that Weather's I would say

196
00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:11,920
Speaker 5: that he is a worthy successor that'd be more impressive,

197
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:14,000
Speaker 5: and I think he has the talent to get there. Yeah,

198
00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:15,160
Speaker 5: with the adjustments he's made.

199
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:19,240
Speaker 1: Alrighty, alrighty. So I'm gonna start with this one. It's

200
00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:23,440
Speaker 1: already bold enough. I think the Marlins will have multiple

201
00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:26,920
Speaker 1: All Stars this season, so Sandy has to be the lock.

202
00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:29,280
Speaker 1: But if another one of these pitchers like a Ryan

203
00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:31,600
Speaker 1: Weathers or you know, Xavier Edwards is having a really

204
00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:33,959
Speaker 1: good year, you never know if they could just slip

205
00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:35,679
Speaker 1: in there. I mean, we saw twenty twenty two they

206
00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:37,480
Speaker 1: had three All Stars and they were not a very

207
00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:40,920
Speaker 1: good baseball team. So I'll go with that. I don't

208
00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:43,720
Speaker 1: we'll see the hits. I mean, Sandy should still be

209
00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:45,880
Speaker 1: on the Marlins by then, and then there's a lot

210
00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:47,800
Speaker 1: of other pitchers that could really make a name for themselves,

211
00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:50,800
Speaker 1: like a Weather's. If Xavier Edwards is having himself a

212
00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:52,280
Speaker 1: nice year, I mean he's got to get in the

213
00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:54,520
Speaker 1: same thing goes with like a more beat. So I

214
00:09:54,559 --> 00:09:57,120
Speaker 1: think they'll have multiple All Stars and representing the Marlins

215
00:09:57,120 --> 00:09:57,959
Speaker 1: in Atlanta this year.

216
00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:01,280
Speaker 2: And I know it won't count technic, but if Sandy

217
00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:03,680
Speaker 2: is traded before the All Star game. I will still

218
00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:05,360
Speaker 2: give it to you. I'll still give you Sandy because

219
00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:06,719
Speaker 2: I think that counts.

220
00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:09,120
Speaker 1: Alrighty Carver, back to you.

221
00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:13,320
Speaker 3: What do I want to go with here? All right,

222
00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:14,000
Speaker 3: we'll go with this.

223
00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:16,120
Speaker 4: This this one is you guys are gonna say it's

224
00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:18,760
Speaker 4: really bold and you're gonna blame it on me loving

225
00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:21,640
Speaker 4: this picture. But I do love this picture. I will

226
00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:27,240
Speaker 4: say that josh Acnes leads Marlinton saves josh Agnes, who

227
00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:30,240
Speaker 4: throws one hundred miles an hour, ninety seven ninety eight

228
00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:35,280
Speaker 4: sitting this this picture will come up very shortly. The

229
00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:39,559
Speaker 4: Marlins don't have a bonafide closure. I mean you can

230
00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:41,240
Speaker 4: look at Bender, you can look at some other guys

231
00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:44,200
Speaker 4: that are on the team, Tonoko, you can look at

232
00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:46,400
Speaker 4: some of these other guys. They don't really have a

233
00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:49,360
Speaker 4: true closure. I think josh Acnes is a true closure.

234
00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:52,040
Speaker 4: So I think that josh Acnes will make his way

235
00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:54,959
Speaker 4: with the Jumbo Shrimp to start the season. Unfortunately, that's

236
00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:57,240
Speaker 4: what he's gonna have to do. I think he starts

237
00:10:57,240 --> 00:10:59,280
Speaker 4: there and is up very shortly as one of the

238
00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:01,920
Speaker 4: first guys up and leads the Marlins, who won't have

239
00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:03,520
Speaker 4: a ton of saves but I think he will lead

240
00:11:03,559 --> 00:11:07,079
Speaker 4: the Marlins and saves Josh Acnes leads the Marlins and

241
00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:08,120
Speaker 4: saves in twenty twenty five.

242
00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:10,520
Speaker 1: I hope you're right.

243
00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:14,320
Speaker 5: I yeah, I thought something along those lines, just in

244
00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:16,920
Speaker 5: terms of the current options they have in their pen.

245
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:19,080
Speaker 5: Right now, it's really muddled in terms of who's going

246
00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:21,199
Speaker 5: to do that. There were times last year where Fouchet

247
00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:25,319
Speaker 5: was extremely impressive. Antonoko where right now and both of

248
00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:28,080
Speaker 5: them are healthy. There's Anthony Bender in the mix, But

249
00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:32,880
Speaker 5: I think for real this time. Schumacher last year would

250
00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:34,679
Speaker 5: say that they didn't have a set closer, and then

251
00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:36,760
Speaker 5: very early in the year he would settle on somebody.

252
00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:39,040
Speaker 5: In this case, it really does feel closer by committee,

253
00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:41,440
Speaker 5: at least early on the in the year, until somebody

254
00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:44,440
Speaker 5: steps up and fills that void. I was toying round

255
00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:46,800
Speaker 5: with the idea of Andrew Nardi, even though he's going

256
00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:48,520
Speaker 5: to be out for a while, that once he comes back,

257
00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:51,520
Speaker 5: felt like he has the potential to move into that

258
00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:53,320
Speaker 5: role by the middle of the year and lead in

259
00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:55,760
Speaker 5: this category. With Acnes, it's more of an uphill climb,

260
00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:57,520
Speaker 5: just because he still has more to show in the

261
00:11:57,600 --> 00:11:58,200
Speaker 5: upper miners.

262
00:11:58,240 --> 00:11:59,880
Speaker 6: I think before they give him that opportunity.

263
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:04,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's not like any of those big time relievers

264
00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:08,000
Speaker 2: are having great springs either in Tinoco and Bender and Fauchet.

265
00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:11,880
Speaker 2: They are struggling. So all right, fair enough.

266
00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:14,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, it supposed to be like one of that Anthony

267
00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:17,240
Speaker 1: Maldonada situation, you know, where he comes up really early

268
00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:19,240
Speaker 1: like you did, and the Factus gets off to that

269
00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:22,640
Speaker 1: type of start that Maldonado did, I mean, and obviously

270
00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:26,680
Speaker 1: performs better than mal Maldonada did. Yeah, I mean he could.

271
00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:28,319
Speaker 1: He could go up there and he could do his thing.

272
00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:31,040
Speaker 1: And that's the guy who throws gas, as carl mentioned,

273
00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:34,160
Speaker 1: and he's in their top thirty. So yeah, good good

274
00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:34,880
Speaker 1: stuff there, Carver.

275
00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:37,960
Speaker 5: Already, Eli, I always have to include a negative one

276
00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:41,400
Speaker 5: in my bold predictions. I guess this qualifies for the

277
00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:44,280
Speaker 5: Marlins pitching staff to allow the most walks in the

278
00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:47,200
Speaker 5: National League this year. I made it the National League.

279
00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:49,520
Speaker 5: That makes it not quite as bold, just because it

280
00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:51,800
Speaker 5: chops out the White Sox. The White Sox far and

281
00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:55,000
Speaker 5: away led the majors last year in walks. The Marlins

282
00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:57,240
Speaker 5: were high up there. I think they were sixth most

283
00:12:57,679 --> 00:13:00,760
Speaker 5: in the big leagues last year and third in the NL,

284
00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:03,199
Speaker 5: and I don't think that's going to improve a whole lot.

285
00:13:03,880 --> 00:13:06,880
Speaker 5: The thing is, in terms of stuff wise, there's been

286
00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:08,560
Speaker 5: a lot of good stories coming out of spring training,

287
00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:12,200
Speaker 5: Sandy throwing as hard as ever, Ryan Weathers throwing harder

288
00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:15,280
Speaker 5: than ever, etc. I'm just not convinced, looking to cross

289
00:13:15,280 --> 00:13:19,000
Speaker 5: this group that the control is all that good. This

290
00:13:19,080 --> 00:13:23,080
Speaker 5: kind of branches off of Alex's previous point about his

291
00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:25,280
Speaker 5: prediction about Augustine Ramirez spending a lot of time in

292
00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:28,040
Speaker 5: the big leagues. I don't have a high regard for

293
00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:30,480
Speaker 5: him as a framer or as a receiver in general,

294
00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:33,040
Speaker 5: and I think there could be some borderline pitches more

295
00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:35,240
Speaker 5: so than usual that go against Marlin's pitchers in these

296
00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:37,839
Speaker 5: close counts. We don't have the challenge system yet to

297
00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:41,040
Speaker 5: overcome some of those mistakes in a way that I

298
00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:42,920
Speaker 5: think is going to add up and make things more difficult.

299
00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:45,160
Speaker 5: This is mainly on the pitchers, though, and just the

300
00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:47,680
Speaker 5: group that they've assembled when it comes to Sandy, even

301
00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:51,120
Speaker 5: with Yuri coming back mid season, with these Tommy John's

302
00:13:51,160 --> 00:13:53,720
Speaker 5: survivors and their first year back in action, I think

303
00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:56,120
Speaker 5: that is one of the bigger question mark is whether

304
00:13:56,200 --> 00:13:59,240
Speaker 5: they can command and really dot their stuff as precisely

305
00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:01,839
Speaker 5: as they did before their injury. Even the spring, Ryan

306
00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:04,120
Speaker 5: Weathers has been a great story. Ryan Weathers has walked

307
00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:07,880
Speaker 5: eight guys in eleven innings or something like that. Not

308
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:10,199
Speaker 5: to mention one of the other ones who's going to

309
00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:11,679
Speaker 5: be a staple of this rotation, at least for the

310
00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:14,320
Speaker 5: first half of the season, Cal Quantrill. He led the

311
00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:17,959
Speaker 5: NL individually in walks last season with the Rockies, and

312
00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:20,400
Speaker 5: this spring that continues to be an issue as well.

313
00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:22,200
Speaker 5: They're gonna give him a long leash to try to

314
00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:25,760
Speaker 5: re establish himself. There's nothing I've seen in camp that

315
00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:28,520
Speaker 5: makes you confident that he is going to be all

316
00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:30,440
Speaker 5: that efficient. So I think this is a group that

317
00:14:30,760 --> 00:14:33,640
Speaker 5: overall has good raw stuff and might actually and should

318
00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:36,360
Speaker 5: have better results overall than last year's pitching staff does.

319
00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:38,840
Speaker 5: I think this is going to be something that holds

320
00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:41,400
Speaker 5: him back. In addition to the other obvious flaws with

321
00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:44,120
Speaker 5: this Marlins group, mainly on the position player side, I

322
00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:46,560
Speaker 5: think this is an issue on the pitching side in

323
00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:49,280
Speaker 5: terms of control, where they're going to be giving out

324
00:14:49,280 --> 00:14:51,800
Speaker 5: a lot more free passes than your accustoms is saying,

325
00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:53,040
Speaker 5: and it's going to come back to bite them a

326
00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:53,440
Speaker 5: little bit.

327
00:14:56,680 --> 00:15:02,960
Speaker 2: All right, my second bold, we're gonna go I made

328
00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:05,360
Speaker 2: a similar one last year about Griff and co nine.

329
00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:07,720
Speaker 1: Oh no, don't take much an.

330
00:15:07,640 --> 00:15:10,280
Speaker 2: Unlikely player to come up and hit a home run.

331
00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:15,120
Speaker 2: Jacob Barry is gonna come up and hit his first

332
00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:17,680
Speaker 2: big league home run in twenty twenty five. He's gonna

333
00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:21,560
Speaker 2: get an opportunity show off some third base skills, maybe

334
00:15:21,560 --> 00:15:23,480
Speaker 2: place int dh first base. I don't know where they're

335
00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:26,440
Speaker 2: gonna put him defensively, but I think they're gonna see him.

336
00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:28,880
Speaker 2: They gotta see all right, six overall pick. We gotta

337
00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:32,040
Speaker 2: see what they have. And he's gonna pull one out

338
00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:33,880
Speaker 2: from the left side of the batter's box. He's gonna

339
00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:35,840
Speaker 2: pull one out at home in Miami.

340
00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:39,240
Speaker 1: Alrighty, Hey, that'll help ELI on the call of contest.

341
00:15:38,960 --> 00:15:39,600
Speaker 5: So it will.

342
00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:45,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, alrighty. I'm gonna go one with Connor Norby. I

343
00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:48,120
Speaker 1: think mister Norby will have himself a thirty thirty season.

344
00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:51,200
Speaker 1: He wanted to thirty home runs either. He said that's

345
00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:55,800
Speaker 1: a goal of his pass berger from last season. And

346
00:15:55,920 --> 00:15:57,920
Speaker 1: you know they've been they've been talking a lot of

347
00:15:57,960 --> 00:16:00,360
Speaker 1: game about the Marlins trying to see a lot more

348
00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:02,760
Speaker 1: basis trying to be all you know, caused some having

349
00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:05,240
Speaker 1: in the bass paths. I could see Norby getting in

350
00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:07,760
Speaker 1: on the action. You know, it says bold as it

351
00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:10,520
Speaker 1: gets with Norby, But Jesus, when was the last time

352
00:16:10,560 --> 00:16:12,600
Speaker 1: one had a thirty thirty season. It's been a very

353
00:16:12,640 --> 00:16:13,120
Speaker 1: long time.

354
00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:17,400
Speaker 2: So Norby, he has never stolen more than sixteen bases

355
00:16:17,400 --> 00:16:18,480
Speaker 2: in his professional career.

356
00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:21,080
Speaker 1: Well, we'll see what happens. He's gonna have one hundred

357
00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:22,960
Speaker 1: and sixty two games to do and hopefully.

358
00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:27,840
Speaker 2: Yes, okay, I think the thirty home runs is extremely bold,

359
00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:30,760
Speaker 2: much less with the thirty stolen bases, but that's probably

360
00:16:30,760 --> 00:16:32,720
Speaker 2: the definitely the boldest one we have so far.

361
00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:35,880
Speaker 1: So kudos to you. Yeah, there's more where that came from.

362
00:16:35,880 --> 00:16:38,280
Speaker 1: Alrighty Carver, let's do it.

363
00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:43,600
Speaker 4: I'll go with hobby er son Noha. Hobby er son

364
00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:46,480
Speaker 4: Noha I think spends the whole year on the team.

365
00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:48,720
Speaker 4: He is very easy to get into games. I think

366
00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:51,720
Speaker 4: he plays in at least one hundred and twenty games.

367
00:16:51,760 --> 00:16:55,120
Speaker 4: I would say at least I would say that hobbyer

368
00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:58,720
Speaker 4: Sonoha gets into at least that many games, and I

369
00:16:58,760 --> 00:17:00,000
Speaker 4: think he holds down at least.

370
00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:01,800
Speaker 3: To seventy five batting average.

371
00:17:01,920 --> 00:17:05,080
Speaker 4: So I think Javier Sanoah has that easy contact skill.

372
00:17:05,280 --> 00:17:08,720
Speaker 4: He's fast, he stills bases. That's beyond the point. But

373
00:17:08,840 --> 00:17:10,439
Speaker 4: I think my bold predition for this one is that

374
00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:13,040
Speaker 4: he gets into that many games and hits two seventy

375
00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:15,480
Speaker 4: five plus. I know nobody likes batting average, but that's

376
00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:18,240
Speaker 4: this guy's forte is batting average. He gets on base,

377
00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:21,320
Speaker 4: he will play in one hundred and twenty games and hit.

378
00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:24,119
Speaker 3: Two seventy five plus. JABERSNOA. It' stun.

379
00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:28,840
Speaker 5: All right, It's been interesting from the beginning we're coming

380
00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:30,680
Speaker 5: into camp. I didn't think he would be on the roster.

381
00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:34,000
Speaker 5: I thought they would go with Ronnie Simon or any

382
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:36,760
Speaker 5: other random utility guy to plug that gap. And as

383
00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:40,040
Speaker 5: as spring went along, and we're speaking today, after Ronnie

384
00:17:40,040 --> 00:17:42,680
Speaker 5: Simon was officially reassigned to minally camp, which makes it

385
00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:45,040
Speaker 5: seemingly a formality that Snoah is going to make the team.

386
00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:47,960
Speaker 5: It's it's an interesting spot because the way they developed

387
00:17:48,040 --> 00:17:50,600
Speaker 5: him is unique. You just do not see guys all

388
00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:54,720
Speaker 5: throughout their minor league career playing three, well more than three,

389
00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:57,879
Speaker 5: but generally second days and shortstop and center field basically

390
00:17:57,920 --> 00:18:00,640
Speaker 5: in a rotation from a very eight instead of given

391
00:18:00,680 --> 00:18:03,280
Speaker 5: an opportunity to settle in somewhere. And he's done it,

392
00:18:03,320 --> 00:18:05,800
Speaker 5: and he's performed offensively during the course of it, as

393
00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:09,720
Speaker 5: you've spoken to. So that is he's such a fascinating guy,

394
00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:13,560
Speaker 5: because I had my doubts about Xavier Edwards when he

395
00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:16,199
Speaker 5: was coming up with some of the same offensive profile

396
00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:17,920
Speaker 5: where it's a lot of contact but it's very little

397
00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:22,200
Speaker 5: power and it's possible to translate. Yeah, with him, there's

398
00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:25,640
Speaker 5: not a ton of discipline. It's all about his contact

399
00:18:25,640 --> 00:18:27,240
Speaker 5: skills and whether he can put the balls in the

400
00:18:27,280 --> 00:18:30,360
Speaker 5: right places. So I'm excited to see that, and I

401
00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:35,520
Speaker 5: do think that is sufficiently bold in your return.

402
00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:39,920
Speaker 6: Mine is going to be against.

403
00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:44,600
Speaker 5: The general assumption that everybody has that it's a ticking time.

404
00:18:44,840 --> 00:18:48,160
Speaker 5: It's a ticking clock on Sandy's Marlin's career. I don't

405
00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:54,560
Speaker 5: think he gets rung. That's mine. I think Sandy is

406
00:18:54,840 --> 00:18:57,000
Speaker 5: staying put at least through the ends of the twenty

407
00:18:57,000 --> 00:18:58,439
Speaker 5: twenty five regular season.

408
00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:01,800
Speaker 6: It before or that. It's not a lock.

409
00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:04,560
Speaker 5: That is command is where it needs to people see

410
00:19:04,600 --> 00:19:07,520
Speaker 5: how that plays out. There could be I think there

411
00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:09,960
Speaker 5: is a combination of factors where he performs at such

412
00:19:09,960 --> 00:19:12,480
Speaker 5: a level and they get the offer that is fair

413
00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:15,159
Speaker 5: in order to make that trade in July or even sooner,

414
00:19:15,480 --> 00:19:17,760
Speaker 5: the way that Bendix made so many trades last year.

415
00:19:18,400 --> 00:19:23,280
Speaker 5: One of the other concerns surrounding this is, as Ken

416
00:19:23,359 --> 00:19:27,320
Speaker 5: Rosenthal just reminded the public with the Marlins payroll situation,

417
00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:30,400
Speaker 5: Sandy is their highest paid player, and they are already

418
00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:34,120
Speaker 5: in the hot water with the players' union by having

419
00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:36,880
Speaker 5: the lowest pay roll in the sport, being so far

420
00:19:36,920 --> 00:19:38,679
Speaker 5: below what they should be spending based on what they

421
00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:43,000
Speaker 5: receive from revenue sharing from other teams. Moving Sandy, whether

422
00:19:43,040 --> 00:19:45,040
Speaker 5: it's two thirds of the way through the year or

423
00:19:45,080 --> 00:19:47,639
Speaker 5: even earlier. I mean, that's millions of more dollars that

424
00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:48,720
Speaker 5: they'd be unloading in.

425
00:19:48,680 --> 00:19:50,000
Speaker 6: A particular type of deal.

426
00:19:51,720 --> 00:19:53,720
Speaker 5: I just think it will be hard to find a

427
00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:58,160
Speaker 5: deal that they're totally comfortable with from a return perspective,

428
00:19:58,200 --> 00:20:00,639
Speaker 5: but also one that I think that something in the

429
00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:04,640
Speaker 5: back of their minds not going to I don't even

430
00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:06,159
Speaker 5: know the exact words to put on this.

431
00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:07,400
Speaker 6: Maybe they're not.

432
00:20:07,320 --> 00:20:12,320
Speaker 5: Embarrassed by the payroll situation they are putting themselves in

433
00:20:12,440 --> 00:20:16,840
Speaker 5: a really that it'd be really hard to defend from

434
00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:20,679
Speaker 5: the players Union's perspective if they lower the payroll as

435
00:20:20,760 --> 00:20:23,360
Speaker 5: much as they have, given what they're receiving from revenue

436
00:20:23,359 --> 00:20:25,920
Speaker 5: sharing and Sandy aside from being their best asset, these

437
00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:29,000
Speaker 5: their highest paid guy. Maybe there's a scenario where they

438
00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:32,040
Speaker 5: pay out everything he's owed the rest of this year,

439
00:20:32,280 --> 00:20:35,240
Speaker 5: and that only increases what they would receive in return

440
00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:37,720
Speaker 5: from another team. At the same time, I don't know

441
00:20:37,760 --> 00:20:41,760
Speaker 5: if they're going to get a true can't miss future

442
00:20:41,840 --> 00:20:44,640
Speaker 5: superstar to headline a package in return, because those guys

443
00:20:44,640 --> 00:20:45,960
Speaker 5: so rarely get traded.

444
00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:46,440
Speaker 6: In the first place.

445
00:20:47,119 --> 00:20:49,399
Speaker 5: It's hard to find common grounds on a player like

446
00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:51,800
Speaker 5: this when they still have two and a half years. Well,

447
00:20:51,840 --> 00:20:53,800
Speaker 5: at this moment they three years, but even at two

448
00:20:53,840 --> 00:20:56,679
Speaker 5: and a half years of club control, of cheap club control,

449
00:20:56,720 --> 00:20:58,720
Speaker 5: it is hard to find common ground on these deals.

450
00:21:00,560 --> 00:21:04,080
Speaker 5: I'm sure that Bendix is always listening, They're always exploring

451
00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:07,880
Speaker 5: having conversations about this type of stuff. I still think

452
00:21:07,880 --> 00:21:10,880
Speaker 5: that there's enough things that could go wrong or could

453
00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:13,160
Speaker 5: get in the way of the Marlins finding a deal

454
00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:14,880
Speaker 5: that they're comfortable with that they just kicked. This count

455
00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:18,000
Speaker 5: can down the Road into the off season instead, and

456
00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:21,280
Speaker 5: then he likely gets traded there the final year of

457
00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:22,160
Speaker 5: the Sandy experience.

458
00:21:22,200 --> 00:21:23,720
Speaker 6: But I think he gets all the way through this

459
00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:24,640
Speaker 6: season in Miami.

460
00:21:26,040 --> 00:21:27,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, he took mine.

461
00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:34,200
Speaker 2: So yeah, all right, Isaac, alrighty. I don't know how

462
00:21:34,200 --> 00:21:37,840
Speaker 2: confident I am with this one, but I'm gonna stick

463
00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:40,520
Speaker 2: with it. Let me just confirm one thing before we

464
00:21:40,560 --> 00:21:45,640
Speaker 2: go with it. Yes, alrighty, let's go. I think Lake

465
00:21:45,720 --> 00:21:50,359
Speaker 2: Bakar Boker is gonna lead the Marlins bullpen in f

466
00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:53,480
Speaker 2: war this year. I think that half of the guys

467
00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:57,280
Speaker 2: who I think will have maybe a higher WAR will

468
00:21:57,280 --> 00:22:02,840
Speaker 2: get traded and Fauchet Cronin tooko. I think Baker has

469
00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:04,840
Speaker 2: some special stuff and I think that's someone that is

470
00:22:04,880 --> 00:22:06,760
Speaker 2: gonna be with the team for the whole year, gonna

471
00:22:06,760 --> 00:22:09,479
Speaker 2: be used in a myriad of different ways, and I

472
00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:11,480
Speaker 2: think that's someone that is gonna surprise a lot of people.

473
00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:14,000
Speaker 2: He's projected currently by Fangres to have a negative point

474
00:22:14,040 --> 00:22:17,600
Speaker 2: one war. I think he produces at least half a

475
00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:19,919
Speaker 2: win to a win, and he leads the Marlins bullpen

476
00:22:19,960 --> 00:22:20,720
Speaker 2: in that category.

477
00:22:21,359 --> 00:22:22,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, he was pretty good towards the end of the year,

478
00:22:23,040 --> 00:22:27,720
Speaker 1: so that's that's a good one, alrighty, I will go

479
00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:29,920
Speaker 1: with one that I think Carver may take. So I'm

480
00:22:29,920 --> 00:22:32,640
Speaker 1: gonna take it now just in case. Thomas White will

481
00:22:32,680 --> 00:22:37,560
Speaker 1: debut in twenty twenty five with the Marlins. So I, dude,

482
00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:41,119
Speaker 1: the stuff is there. That guy is so good. I mean,

483
00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:42,720
Speaker 1: if the Marlins are well, they will be out of

484
00:22:42,760 --> 00:22:45,280
Speaker 1: it by you know, late into the season. You may

485
00:22:45,320 --> 00:22:46,760
Speaker 1: as well call him up. See what you got. He's

486
00:22:46,760 --> 00:22:49,720
Speaker 1: gonna start in double A. Thomas White will debut with

487
00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:51,080
Speaker 1: the Marlins in twenty twenty five.

488
00:22:52,760 --> 00:22:54,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, I was gonna say the same thing.

489
00:22:55,080 --> 00:22:56,919
Speaker 4: I was actually even gonna say that he would debut

490
00:22:56,960 --> 00:22:59,520
Speaker 4: before September, which I think that he could after the deadline.

491
00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:01,200
Speaker 4: Like I I think that guy's gonna push us with

492
00:23:01,840 --> 00:23:04,240
Speaker 4: so much that the Marlins aren't going to be able

493
00:23:04,280 --> 00:23:07,040
Speaker 4: to deny him. So I was gonna say him that

494
00:23:07,160 --> 00:23:09,920
Speaker 4: is a great, a great, a great pick. I do

495
00:23:09,960 --> 00:23:12,639
Speaker 4: think that Thomas White will be on the Marlins. It

496
00:23:12,680 --> 00:23:14,640
Speaker 4: is bold, but I because they don't have any reason

497
00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:17,040
Speaker 4: to start the clock, especially in a lost season. But

498
00:23:18,080 --> 00:23:20,199
Speaker 4: this organization has proved that if you're ready, they're going

499
00:23:20,240 --> 00:23:23,840
Speaker 4: to challenge you. So I like this pick. I think

500
00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:26,719
Speaker 4: that it's true. I really do think that Thomas will

501
00:23:26,760 --> 00:23:30,360
Speaker 4: be here I think before September, but if it's when

502
00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:33,560
Speaker 4: Ross Priss fan whatever, But yeah, there's I don't think

503
00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:35,359
Speaker 4: there's any reason to hold this guy back anymore, and

504
00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:38,960
Speaker 4: I think they will continue to prove it awesome long.

505
00:23:39,320 --> 00:23:40,960
Speaker 4: I mean, he's only going to go to Double A,

506
00:23:41,400 --> 00:23:44,720
Speaker 4: presumably go to Double A to start the season, so

507
00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:47,960
Speaker 4: it's gonna be his first taste of the Upper Miners.

508
00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:50,359
Speaker 4: But this guy's just so far advanced. And I mean

509
00:23:50,400 --> 00:23:53,879
Speaker 4: he's hitting one hundred miles an hour, like with the

510
00:23:53,920 --> 00:23:56,639
Speaker 4: six stuff that he has, continuing to improve sweeper, all

511
00:23:56,640 --> 00:23:57,360
Speaker 4: the stuff that he's doing.

512
00:23:57,400 --> 00:23:59,280
Speaker 3: It's it's just great. I mean that this guy is

513
00:23:59,520 --> 00:24:01,399
Speaker 3: is so far ahead that I don't think there's a

514
00:24:01,400 --> 00:24:02,840
Speaker 3: reason to hold him back, and I think the Marlins

515
00:24:02,840 --> 00:24:05,920
Speaker 3: won't do that. I really don't think the Marlins will

516
00:24:05,960 --> 00:24:08,920
Speaker 3: do that. So I like this. It is bold, yes,

517
00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:09,520
Speaker 3: but I do like.

518
00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:14,400
Speaker 1: To pick already up here last one Carver, since.

519
00:24:14,280 --> 00:24:17,040
Speaker 3: You took that one, I'll go Max Meyer. I love

520
00:24:17,080 --> 00:24:17,560
Speaker 3: Max Meyer.

521
00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:19,840
Speaker 4: I know Isaac's gonna hate this, but I like Max Meyer.

522
00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:22,680
Speaker 4: I think Max Meyer is for real and the improvements

523
00:24:22,680 --> 00:24:24,639
Speaker 4: that he's made I think are for real. So all

524
00:24:24,680 --> 00:24:26,680
Speaker 4: of mine are going to be player centric. But I

525
00:24:27,080 --> 00:24:29,159
Speaker 4: really like Max Meyer. I think he sticks as a

526
00:24:29,200 --> 00:24:32,000
Speaker 4: starter the whole year. I think that he has a

527
00:24:32,080 --> 00:24:36,080
Speaker 4: sub for R with a lower fit, and I really

528
00:24:36,080 --> 00:24:37,720
Speaker 4: do think that his whip will be like under one

529
00:24:37,760 --> 00:24:39,920
Speaker 4: point four. So I think this is going to be

530
00:24:39,960 --> 00:24:43,080
Speaker 4: a solid pitcher. Put him down for me for a

531
00:24:43,160 --> 00:24:46,040
Speaker 4: three point seventy five e R A and a one

532
00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:48,320
Speaker 4: point three to five whip. That's going to be my

533
00:24:48,600 --> 00:24:51,960
Speaker 4: Max Meyer projection for this season. This guy's going to

534
00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:55,720
Speaker 4: be really good. The improvements that he's made are there.

535
00:24:56,040 --> 00:24:58,680
Speaker 4: I think that he is solid. So yeah, three point

536
00:24:58,680 --> 00:25:01,840
Speaker 4: seventy five R, I think with a lower fit because

537
00:25:01,840 --> 00:25:04,120
Speaker 4: I don't think this in field will do him any favors,

538
00:25:04,800 --> 00:25:07,919
Speaker 4: but I think that his his his true ability to.

539
00:25:07,920 --> 00:25:09,480
Speaker 3: Throw these new pitches are going to be there.

540
00:25:09,640 --> 00:25:13,240
Speaker 4: So three point seven five ERA one point three five whip,

541
00:25:13,240 --> 00:25:15,399
Speaker 4: which is an underrated stat that I really still go

542
00:25:15,440 --> 00:25:18,040
Speaker 4: by for pitchers, especially starters. This is gonna be a

543
00:25:18,119 --> 00:25:20,560
Speaker 4: quality starting pitcher for the Marlins. I really do believe

544
00:25:20,640 --> 00:25:23,600
Speaker 4: Max Meyer still, even though he's undersized, even though he's

545
00:25:23,600 --> 00:25:25,440
Speaker 4: had all these problems with injuries, even.

546
00:25:25,280 --> 00:25:27,480
Speaker 3: Though there's so many question marks about him.

547
00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:29,800
Speaker 4: Going into the season. I really do believe in these improvements.

548
00:25:30,040 --> 00:25:32,320
Speaker 4: I believe in his confidence, which has always been there.

549
00:25:32,760 --> 00:25:35,720
Speaker 4: Max Meyer's a stud. He's gonna be good this year.

Speaker 2: What makes this prediction Bowl to me is the whip.

557
00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:11,479
Speaker 2: I think that's gonna be tough Thera, you know, I

558
00:26:11,480 --> 00:26:13,840
Speaker 2: really hope I agree. I do like the improvements. It's

559
00:26:13,880 --> 00:26:15,840
Speaker 2: just so tough for the guy that's returning from an

560
00:26:15,880 --> 00:26:19,040
Speaker 2: injury like that, who really saw crazy fluctuation and stuff

561
00:26:19,119 --> 00:26:22,040
Speaker 2: last year. Velocity, the fastoot vollscity. He doesn't even to

562
00:26:22,040 --> 00:26:23,960
Speaker 2: be back. But they're also not really letting him throw

563
00:26:23,960 --> 00:26:27,520
Speaker 2: that many pitches. It's extremely early in spring training. I

564
00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:29,960
Speaker 2: like it. I hope, I hope you're right on this one,

565
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:31,760
Speaker 2: because if they can get some value out of him

566
00:26:31,960 --> 00:26:33,399
Speaker 2: one of my bold predictions was gonna be that they

567
00:26:33,440 --> 00:26:37,120
Speaker 2: trade him, so I certainly hope that this comes to fruition.

568
00:26:39,200 --> 00:26:41,920
Speaker 5: I'll go with a prospect one for my final pick

569
00:26:42,240 --> 00:26:45,119
Speaker 5: because I had some overlap with others who've already mentioned

570
00:26:45,119 --> 00:26:48,240
Speaker 5: and want to be unique here. Over the course of

571
00:26:48,280 --> 00:26:51,119
Speaker 5: the season. I think he could say after the draft

572
00:26:51,160 --> 00:26:54,320
Speaker 5: and the trade deadline, I believe that Dylan Head will

573
00:26:54,320 --> 00:26:57,880
Speaker 5: be our top rank tomorrowin's hitting prospect. By then, He's

574
00:26:57,880 --> 00:27:00,199
Speaker 5: somebody that's kind of fluctuated on our list, and he

575
00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:02,359
Speaker 5: was acquired nearly a year ago because of course, he

576
00:27:02,400 --> 00:27:05,840
Speaker 5: got injured almost immediately after coming to the Marlins, had surgery,

577
00:27:06,320 --> 00:27:07,240
Speaker 5: was gone for a while.

578
00:27:07,640 --> 00:27:09,160
Speaker 6: Well, it's pretty impressive this.

579
00:27:09,080 --> 00:27:11,639
Speaker 5: Spring, both physically and from what we've been able to

580
00:27:11,640 --> 00:27:14,399
Speaker 5: get glimpses of as a hitter, to say nothing of

581
00:27:14,440 --> 00:27:17,000
Speaker 5: the plus plus speed that he already has a high

582
00:27:17,080 --> 00:27:20,840
Speaker 5: likelihood that he sticks in center field. So knock on wood,

583
00:27:20,840 --> 00:27:22,920
Speaker 5: we get a fully healthy year from Head this year,

584
00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:26,359
Speaker 5: initially at low A Jupiter as as this would suggest,

585
00:27:26,400 --> 00:27:28,720
Speaker 5: I think he gets promoted during the season to Hi

586
00:27:29,160 --> 00:27:32,240
Speaker 5: Bullboy at some point and continues to just be a

587
00:27:32,280 --> 00:27:36,200
Speaker 5: really great all around player over there. His competition at

588
00:27:36,200 --> 00:27:37,960
Speaker 5: this moment, the way that we have it right now

589
00:27:38,040 --> 00:27:42,800
Speaker 5: is starblind Caba. We ride ahead of Andrew Salas, and

590
00:27:42,800 --> 00:27:45,840
Speaker 5: then Augustine Ramirez, who we all expet to graduate. As

591
00:27:45,840 --> 00:27:48,359
Speaker 5: we get deeper into the year, Davidson Dealeles Santos is

592
00:27:48,440 --> 00:27:52,680
Speaker 5: up there as well. Joe Mack. We'll see exactly how

593
00:27:52,720 --> 00:27:55,600
Speaker 5: soon he graduates. But even assuming that he's prospectialgical, I

594
00:27:55,600 --> 00:27:58,160
Speaker 5: think Dylan Head could just surpass him as an overall

595
00:27:58,200 --> 00:28:00,960
Speaker 5: player who's even a little bit younger than mac Is.

596
00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:03,240
Speaker 5: He's a little bit older than Caba and Salas, but

597
00:28:03,680 --> 00:28:05,880
Speaker 5: I think he's he has the potential to be as

598
00:28:05,880 --> 00:28:08,400
Speaker 5: good as all of them. So I know that our

599
00:28:08,480 --> 00:28:10,960
Speaker 5: vignians internally have kind of bounced around a little bit,

600
00:28:11,240 --> 00:28:13,760
Speaker 5: just because it's so hard to in the absence of

601
00:28:13,760 --> 00:28:16,600
Speaker 5: information with somebody that just hasn't played very much in

602
00:28:16,680 --> 00:28:19,879
Speaker 5: professional baseball to this point due to injuries. Now that

603
00:28:19,920 --> 00:28:22,440
Speaker 5: he's fully healthy, I'm really impressed, and I think he's

604
00:28:22,440 --> 00:28:25,240
Speaker 5: going to have a breakout year if he hasn't already

605
00:28:25,240 --> 00:28:26,560
Speaker 5: broken it. I think's gonna have the kind of year

606
00:28:26,560 --> 00:28:29,560
Speaker 5: that makes him a consensus top one hundred overall prospect

607
00:28:29,600 --> 00:28:32,920
Speaker 5: in the game and somebody that is right on the

608
00:28:32,960 --> 00:28:35,520
Speaker 5: horizon or somebody that we could watch in twenty twenty six.

609
00:28:35,560 --> 00:28:37,480
Speaker 5: We're only think twenty twenty seven in the big leagues.

610
00:28:37,480 --> 00:28:39,760
Speaker 5: But I think this is going to be really successful

611
00:28:39,800 --> 00:28:41,080
Speaker 5: all around here for Dylanhead.

612
00:28:42,280 --> 00:28:43,680
Speaker 2: Don't you don't think you can make it the Double

613
00:28:43,720 --> 00:28:44,240
Speaker 2: A this year?

614
00:28:44,400 --> 00:28:49,640
Speaker 5: Towards the end the best case scenario, maybe he gets there. Yeah,

615
00:28:49,720 --> 00:28:52,560
Speaker 5: it's it's within the realm of possibility. Yeah, I agree

616
00:28:53,240 --> 00:28:54,480
Speaker 5: a whole lot of time at HIA.

617
00:28:55,240 --> 00:28:57,200
Speaker 4: I think it'll be a slow start, but I don't

618
00:28:57,240 --> 00:28:59,560
Speaker 4: disagree with this Bowl prediction. I think it'll be a

619
00:28:59,600 --> 00:29:01,920
Speaker 4: slow start, especially with cold weather months. I think he

620
00:29:01,960 --> 00:29:04,960
Speaker 4: does start with this sky card, but I think with

621
00:29:05,040 --> 00:29:08,280
Speaker 4: cold weather months it'll be unless the Marlins protect him

622
00:29:08,280 --> 00:29:09,680
Speaker 4: and put him back in Jupiter and then two months

623
00:29:09,680 --> 00:29:11,560
Speaker 4: into the season they put him up there. That could

624
00:29:11,600 --> 00:29:14,120
Speaker 4: be the thing too, but it's extremely hard to hit

625
00:29:14,160 --> 00:29:16,440
Speaker 4: there early in the season, So I think it starts

626
00:29:16,480 --> 00:29:19,560
Speaker 4: slow and then he picks it up. Because this guy

627
00:29:19,560 --> 00:29:21,200
Speaker 4: has shown a ton of improvement and I really do

628
00:29:21,320 --> 00:29:24,120
Speaker 4: like the bat so physical projections there. He's done a

629
00:29:24,160 --> 00:29:26,520
Speaker 4: lot of work in the off season with physicality. I

630
00:29:26,520 --> 00:29:28,480
Speaker 4: think he spent the time off well while he was injured,

631
00:29:28,520 --> 00:29:31,400
Speaker 4: So I love this pick. I think it is a

632
00:29:31,440 --> 00:29:33,880
Speaker 4: bold pick because there are a lot of talented hitting

633
00:29:33,920 --> 00:29:36,480
Speaker 4: prospects that have come up in this organization, like Caaba.

634
00:29:38,280 --> 00:29:40,520
Speaker 4: There are others as well that are ranked over him

635
00:29:40,560 --> 00:29:43,120
Speaker 4: that we have in the top thirty. But I don't

636
00:29:43,120 --> 00:29:45,160
Speaker 4: think this is out of the realm of possibility. I

637
00:29:45,240 --> 00:29:47,480
Speaker 4: think it's bold because of the trajectory of his season

638
00:29:47,480 --> 00:29:50,240
Speaker 4: and where he'll begin versus where he'll go. The Marlins

639
00:29:50,280 --> 00:29:52,600
Speaker 4: have a lot of players that barely got time that

640
00:29:52,720 --> 00:29:55,520
Speaker 4: are going to need to spend time in Jupiter and

641
00:29:55,600 --> 00:29:57,520
Speaker 4: probably get pushed up pretty quickly as well.

642
00:29:57,600 --> 00:29:58,800
Speaker 3: So I think this guy, I don't.

643
00:29:58,640 --> 00:30:01,320
Speaker 4: Think there's pressure on him to succeed, but I think

644
00:30:01,360 --> 00:30:04,080
Speaker 4: that there's roster movement questions that I think that he

645
00:30:04,080 --> 00:30:06,840
Speaker 4: will be involved in. So I think that it's definitely

646
00:30:06,840 --> 00:30:08,960
Speaker 4: possible that he starts the season. I think he probably

647
00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:11,200
Speaker 4: will start the season in Deloit, deal with those cold

648
00:30:11,200 --> 00:30:14,320
Speaker 4: weather months, and then probably project from there as one

649
00:30:14,320 --> 00:30:16,640
Speaker 4: of the top hitting prospects in the league and in

650
00:30:16,680 --> 00:30:17,440
Speaker 4: this organization.

651
00:30:17,600 --> 00:30:19,880
Speaker 3: So I like this pick. I think it's really good.

652
00:30:20,200 --> 00:30:21,720
Speaker 4: I just think there's a lot of traffic for him

653
00:30:21,720 --> 00:30:23,960
Speaker 4: to navigate where Den Orleans won't be able to start

654
00:30:24,040 --> 00:30:24,520
Speaker 4: him in Jupiter.

655
00:30:24,560 --> 00:30:26,840
Speaker 3: I think he'll start in Deloit, but we'll see what

656
00:30:26,840 --> 00:30:27,360
Speaker 3: happens with that.

657
00:30:27,800 --> 00:30:31,120
Speaker 4: But yeah, I really like Dylan had really really has

658
00:30:31,200 --> 00:30:33,880
Speaker 4: a ton a ton of potential. Offseason looks good. He

659
00:30:33,920 --> 00:30:36,720
Speaker 4: looks good right now physically, he's looked good in camp.

660
00:30:37,800 --> 00:30:39,280
Speaker 4: I think it's gonna be a slow start. I don't

661
00:30:39,280 --> 00:30:41,200
Speaker 4: think anybody should read into that, but I think this

662
00:30:41,240 --> 00:30:42,960
Speaker 4: is a good pick, a bulb one, but I think it's.

663
00:30:42,880 --> 00:30:44,920
Speaker 1: A good pick. Yeah, and he was one of our

664
00:30:44,920 --> 00:30:47,239
Speaker 1: biggest rises on the list, you know when we did

665
00:30:47,240 --> 00:30:49,360
Speaker 1: this past update, at least on the position player side,

666
00:30:49,440 --> 00:30:52,280
Speaker 1: So you know, I mean, I do agree that he

667
00:30:52,440 --> 00:30:54,720
Speaker 1: should start in High but they'll probably start him in Jupiter,

668
00:30:54,880 --> 00:30:57,720
Speaker 1: just not just avoid the cold weather. But I was

669
00:30:57,720 --> 00:31:00,560
Speaker 1: talking to someone about this, and it's just like most

670
00:31:00,680 --> 00:31:04,120
Speaker 1: you know, it's closest to Miami. It's like it makes

671
00:31:04,160 --> 00:31:05,920
Speaker 1: more sense there's gonna be more people there. You know,

672
00:31:05,960 --> 00:31:07,960
Speaker 1: Belloyd's like in the middle of nowhere, so like you

673
00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:10,480
Speaker 1: prefer to have your guys there where there's I don't know,

674
00:31:10,520 --> 00:31:12,040
Speaker 1: it just makes more sense to start them there, and

675
00:31:12,080 --> 00:31:14,040
Speaker 1: again the injury too, so you just want to see

676
00:31:14,040 --> 00:31:18,080
Speaker 1: how he starts. So I like this bold prediction, all right,

677
00:31:18,120 --> 00:31:19,040
Speaker 1: Isaac last one.

678
00:31:21,040 --> 00:31:23,920
Speaker 2: He has had an incredible spring training on both sides

679
00:31:23,960 --> 00:31:28,000
Speaker 2: of the ball. Even today he's made some incredible plays. Oh,

680
00:31:28,080 --> 00:31:31,600
Speaker 2: I'm trying to figure out how to put this to

681
00:31:31,640 --> 00:31:35,160
Speaker 2: make it as bold as possible, because I you would

682
00:31:35,160 --> 00:31:38,200
Speaker 2: think it's bold, but I want to add something to it.

683
00:31:38,440 --> 00:31:40,840
Speaker 2: I think Otto Lopez gonna be a Gold Globe finalist

684
00:31:41,360 --> 00:31:46,120
Speaker 2: at second base and while also producing at least four

685
00:31:46,160 --> 00:31:51,800
Speaker 2: point zero f war. He grew two point six b

686
00:31:51,920 --> 00:31:54,880
Speaker 2: war last year while playing in I think it was

687
00:31:54,880 --> 00:31:57,160
Speaker 2: one hundred and nine one hundred and seventeen ball games.

688
00:31:57,680 --> 00:32:01,120
Speaker 2: If he really produces offensively the way that he has

689
00:32:01,120 --> 00:32:03,239
Speaker 2: shown a little bit in spring training, a little bit

690
00:32:03,240 --> 00:32:05,600
Speaker 2: of muscle, added a little more extra base hit power,

691
00:32:05,640 --> 00:32:07,760
Speaker 2: a little bit over the fence power to go along

692
00:32:07,880 --> 00:32:10,480
Speaker 2: with his elite second base defense. Up the middle playing

693
00:32:10,480 --> 00:32:13,360
Speaker 2: every single day is presumably I don't see why he

694
00:32:13,360 --> 00:32:15,840
Speaker 2: can't reach four war. That's a special play. And up

695
00:32:15,840 --> 00:32:17,800
Speaker 2: the middle, that's probably the best up the middle tandem

696
00:32:17,800 --> 00:32:21,160
Speaker 2: you've had since Hanley and Ugla there, I say, at

697
00:32:21,240 --> 00:32:24,600
Speaker 2: Jabouria d Gordon, it's a it's a pretty nice tandem

698
00:32:24,600 --> 00:32:27,040
Speaker 2: they got there. Maybe not great defensively on the short

699
00:32:27,160 --> 00:32:29,440
Speaker 2: up side, but there's two really special players in their

700
00:32:29,440 --> 00:32:30,840
Speaker 2: own way.

701
00:32:31,200 --> 00:32:31,520
Speaker 3: I don't know.

702
00:32:31,600 --> 00:32:34,239
Speaker 4: I just I like Anto and y Ask. You're right

703
00:32:34,280 --> 00:32:36,320
Speaker 4: about the defense at the plate. It I just don't

704
00:32:36,360 --> 00:32:38,080
Speaker 4: think he walks enough. This is one of my main

705
00:32:38,120 --> 00:32:41,080
Speaker 4: things for him. He just doesn't really get on base

706
00:32:41,200 --> 00:32:44,480
Speaker 4: enough with walks. And if you're relying on a guy

707
00:32:44,520 --> 00:32:47,280
Speaker 4: who is what I mean, he's not a huge dude

708
00:32:47,320 --> 00:32:49,080
Speaker 4: at all. I mean, you're relying on this guy who's

709
00:32:49,120 --> 00:32:52,240
Speaker 4: kind of lanky, he's a middle infielder, he's five eleven. Like,

710
00:32:52,560 --> 00:32:55,479
Speaker 4: I really don't see him tapping into huge power, especially

711
00:32:55,520 --> 00:32:57,600
Speaker 4: in Loan Depot. Maybe in the rest of the Naly

712
00:32:57,640 --> 00:33:00,880
Speaker 4: East maybe then yeah, I know they go everywhere.

713
00:33:01,000 --> 00:33:01,400
Speaker 3: I don't know.

714
00:33:01,480 --> 00:33:03,440
Speaker 4: I just don't I don't know if he will do

715
00:33:03,600 --> 00:33:05,680
Speaker 4: enough offensively to put up that kind of a de

716
00:33:05,800 --> 00:33:08,080
Speaker 4: war or that kind of an f war. But it's

717
00:33:08,080 --> 00:33:10,560
Speaker 4: not out of the realm with possibility if he surprises offensively.

718
00:33:10,640 --> 00:33:14,360
Speaker 4: So this is definitely a bold prediction for sure. I

719
00:33:14,440 --> 00:33:15,880
Speaker 4: just don't see it in the bat. I see it

720
00:33:15,920 --> 00:33:17,480
Speaker 4: in the defense. I just don't see it in the bat.

721
00:33:18,080 --> 00:33:20,040
Speaker 4: I will stick to what I've always said about this player,

722
00:33:20,080 --> 00:33:22,880
Speaker 4: and I like Otto Lopez. On a good team, on

723
00:33:22,920 --> 00:33:25,920
Speaker 4: a contending team, he's more of a utility player. I

724
00:33:25,960 --> 00:33:28,520
Speaker 4: really do believe that. Yes, the defense is elite, I

725
00:33:28,600 --> 00:33:30,560
Speaker 4: understand that, but I think on a contending team and

726
00:33:30,560 --> 00:33:32,720
Speaker 4: on a really good team, he's more of a utility

727
00:33:32,720 --> 00:33:35,240
Speaker 4: style player. I just don't think he does enough offensively

728
00:33:35,240 --> 00:33:37,160
Speaker 4: with the bat. Doesn't walk enough, like I said before,

729
00:33:37,520 --> 00:33:39,040
Speaker 4: But it's not out of the realm of possibility. If

730
00:33:39,080 --> 00:33:40,440
Speaker 4: he proved me wrong, he could be right.

731
00:33:40,960 --> 00:33:45,040
Speaker 2: He has hit in almost every stop of his professional career.

732
00:33:45,120 --> 00:33:47,080
Speaker 2: He has hit pretty well. But I do agree with

733
00:33:47,120 --> 00:33:49,640
Speaker 2: you about the limitations. Can we agree that the Gold

734
00:33:49,680 --> 00:33:51,720
Speaker 2: Glove finalist wasn't bold enough, right?

735
00:33:52,240 --> 00:33:57,280
Speaker 1: I was just about to to say he will win

736
00:33:57,320 --> 00:33:59,720
Speaker 1: the Gold Glove and put up four f war That's

737
00:33:59,760 --> 00:34:01,960
Speaker 1: the adjustment I would make for that one.

738
00:34:02,040 --> 00:34:03,800
Speaker 4: Now, there's a lot of good infielders in the league, though,

739
00:34:03,840 --> 00:34:05,440
Speaker 4: so I don't know if I mean that would have

740
00:34:05,480 --> 00:34:07,160
Speaker 4: been old enough as it is to say he will

741
00:34:07,200 --> 00:34:07,880
Speaker 4: win the Gold Love.

742
00:34:07,960 --> 00:34:10,160
Speaker 3: He should have been a finalist last season, but he was,

743
00:34:10,360 --> 00:34:11,759
Speaker 3: I mean, I don't think he was right.

744
00:34:11,840 --> 00:34:12,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean.

745
00:34:12,719 --> 00:34:16,319
Speaker 2: Bryce Terrang won it last year and along. I don't

746
00:34:16,360 --> 00:34:18,560
Speaker 2: know how all of these grades out, but I think

747
00:34:18,760 --> 00:34:20,480
Speaker 2: Google final there's only three of them run. We thought

748
00:34:20,480 --> 00:34:22,319
Speaker 2: Miguel Roha is going to be a finalist. It's not

749
00:34:22,360 --> 00:34:24,959
Speaker 2: easy to be a Google finalist, one in the middle

750
00:34:25,080 --> 00:34:27,200
Speaker 2: endfield of you know.

751
00:34:27,760 --> 00:34:29,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, I just I just don't see it offensively.

752
00:34:29,640 --> 00:34:31,759
Speaker 4: But if he proves, I mean, he's had a great spring,

753
00:34:31,840 --> 00:34:34,480
Speaker 4: so you're right about that, So we'll see what happens

754
00:34:34,480 --> 00:34:34,759
Speaker 4: with him.

755
00:34:34,960 --> 00:34:37,480
Speaker 5: Yeah, I still don't know what's make exactly about how

756
00:34:37,560 --> 00:34:40,440
Speaker 5: streaky he was offensively last year, where he was very

757
00:34:40,480 --> 00:34:43,319
Speaker 5: good for the first couple of months and then he

758
00:34:43,560 --> 00:34:46,720
Speaker 5: was the worst hitter on the team for another month

759
00:34:46,760 --> 00:34:48,719
Speaker 5: plus stretch right in the middle there, and then at

760
00:34:48,719 --> 00:34:51,439
Speaker 5: the end he was better than ever. His last couple

761
00:34:51,400 --> 00:34:55,640
Speaker 5: of months were excellent offensively, especially relative the position. All

762
00:34:55,640 --> 00:34:58,520
Speaker 5: through it all, the contact hitting is there, and the

763
00:34:58,640 --> 00:35:02,520
Speaker 5: athleticism overall is good. Yeah, I'm kind of on the

764
00:35:02,560 --> 00:35:05,480
Speaker 5: fence where I think it's reasonable to expect him to

765
00:35:05,800 --> 00:35:08,640
Speaker 5: do what he did last season. I'm just not sure

766
00:35:09,000 --> 00:35:13,400
Speaker 5: about where that improvement comes from offensively unless someone just

767
00:35:13,640 --> 00:35:16,239
Speaker 5: cuts out whatever bothered him in the middle of last year.

768
00:35:16,280 --> 00:35:18,120
Speaker 5: But that's something in the middle of last season where

769
00:35:18,360 --> 00:35:20,840
Speaker 5: every single at that was a ground ball and sometimes

770
00:35:20,880 --> 00:35:24,440
Speaker 5: it was seeing a single and most times it wasn't out.

771
00:35:24,640 --> 00:35:26,480
Speaker 5: I think I just have to assume moving forward, he's

772
00:35:26,520 --> 00:35:29,920
Speaker 5: gonna be susceptibul to those kind of ebbs and flows again.

773
00:35:30,239 --> 00:35:31,080
Speaker 5: But we shall see.

774
00:35:31,120 --> 00:35:32,600
Speaker 6: He's very easy to root.

775
00:35:32,440 --> 00:35:36,960
Speaker 1: For alrighty, So I'm gonna have to repeat up layer unfortunately,

776
00:35:37,000 --> 00:35:38,720
Speaker 1: but I think this one will be a little bolder

777
00:35:38,760 --> 00:35:42,400
Speaker 1: than the one ELI did so right now, Juan Pierre

778
00:35:42,440 --> 00:35:44,880
Speaker 1: holds the record for most stolen bases in a single

779
00:35:44,880 --> 00:35:48,240
Speaker 1: season in franchise history. I think Xavier Edwards will break

780
00:35:48,239 --> 00:35:50,839
Speaker 1: that record. So the record's currently sixty five. I think

781
00:35:51,000 --> 00:35:55,320
Speaker 1: Edwards surpasses that, so leaying off, he's gonna get on

782
00:35:55,360 --> 00:35:57,840
Speaker 1: base a lot. I think he's gonna do it. I

783
00:35:57,840 --> 00:35:59,919
Speaker 1: think it's a really good shot at it. If there's

784
00:35:59,920 --> 00:36:01,400
Speaker 1: anyone who could do it, I think it's him on

785
00:36:01,440 --> 00:36:04,279
Speaker 1: this game. So we'll go with with Edwards breaking the

786
00:36:04,320 --> 00:36:07,640
Speaker 1: stolen base record in a single season in franchise history.

787
00:36:08,000 --> 00:36:10,960
Speaker 2: Love it, Love everything, about it. I wasnna try and

788
00:36:11,000 --> 00:36:12,960
Speaker 2: add an Edwards one. I guess we were going to

789
00:36:13,000 --> 00:36:16,080
Speaker 2: get a little bit repetitive, but he told us on

790
00:36:16,200 --> 00:36:19,000
Speaker 2: media day, Kevin, you were there, his personal goal is

791
00:36:19,040 --> 00:36:22,440
Speaker 2: to steal at least sixty bags. I think the question

792
00:36:22,600 --> 00:36:24,440
Speaker 2: is does he get on base enough. He definitely did

793
00:36:24,520 --> 00:36:27,040
Speaker 2: last year, but I would like to see that walkway

794
00:36:27,080 --> 00:36:29,040
Speaker 2: to prove a little bit. He just hits so much that, yeah,

795
00:36:29,040 --> 00:36:31,600
Speaker 2: he's on base percentages through the roof, so yes, as

796
00:36:31,640 --> 00:36:33,719
Speaker 2: long as he's hitting and just walking a little bit,

797
00:36:33,760 --> 00:36:36,520
Speaker 2: and he shouldn't be on base plenty of times to

798
00:36:37,040 --> 00:36:37,839
Speaker 2: reach sixty five.

799
00:36:39,200 --> 00:36:40,759
Speaker 4: And you've seen it in camp too, the work that

800
00:36:40,760 --> 00:36:44,560
Speaker 4: they're doing with first and secondary leads. I think that

801
00:36:44,840 --> 00:36:46,719
Speaker 4: multiple days that I was there this spring, they have

802
00:36:46,840 --> 00:36:50,880
Speaker 4: been working on just that, just base running, just first

803
00:36:50,880 --> 00:36:53,040
Speaker 4: and secondary leads, which I don't think Edwards has a

804
00:36:53,080 --> 00:36:54,640
Speaker 4: ton to work on in that capacity. I just think

805
00:36:54,640 --> 00:36:58,800
Speaker 4: he's so fast that he's just an instinctive base runner

806
00:36:58,840 --> 00:37:02,280
Speaker 4: that I think is definitely of this of that peak,

807
00:37:02,520 --> 00:37:05,200
Speaker 4: I really do. I think that's sixty five stolen bases though,

808
00:37:05,239 --> 00:37:07,120
Speaker 4: no matter who you're talking about, no matter what player

809
00:37:07,160 --> 00:37:11,960
Speaker 4: you're talking about, is a a large, a large pedestal

810
00:37:12,000 --> 00:37:15,440
Speaker 4: to climb. But I think that amongst anybody on this roster,

811
00:37:15,560 --> 00:37:17,320
Speaker 4: I think, and amongst a lot of guys in the

812
00:37:17,400 --> 00:37:18,839
Speaker 4: league and a lot of guys that we've seen play

813
00:37:18,840 --> 00:37:21,360
Speaker 4: for the Marlins, this player is definitely worthy of it

814
00:37:21,360 --> 00:37:23,040
Speaker 4: because he just gets on base so much. As Isaac

815
00:37:23,080 --> 00:37:27,239
Speaker 4: just said, so I think it's definitely possible that this

816
00:37:27,239 --> 00:37:29,360
Speaker 4: guy has three hundred plus and skills sixty bags. That

817
00:37:29,400 --> 00:37:31,759
Speaker 4: would be absolutely amazing. So I think it's a Bowl

818
00:37:31,800 --> 00:37:34,440
Speaker 4: prediction because that's a huge pedestal, but a good one.

819
00:37:35,040 --> 00:37:37,799
Speaker 5: My hesitation with that is just remembering the season that

820
00:37:37,800 --> 00:37:41,240
Speaker 5: Ellie de Lacruz had last year. Early on, it seems

821
00:37:41,280 --> 00:37:44,000
Speaker 5: like he was on pace for a hundred. He was

822
00:37:44,360 --> 00:37:47,160
Speaker 5: on he was doing what we had not seen anybody

823
00:37:47,280 --> 00:37:50,759
Speaker 5: do for decades since like Ricky Anderson, early on he was.

824
00:37:50,960 --> 00:37:53,040
Speaker 5: He ends up staying healthy the whole year, He ends

825
00:37:53,120 --> 00:37:55,920
Speaker 5: up being a really productive player the entire year. And

826
00:37:55,960 --> 00:37:57,640
Speaker 5: do you know where he finished Elie de la Cruz

827
00:37:57,719 --> 00:38:00,239
Speaker 5: last year? He finished at sixty seven, and so much

828
00:38:00,239 --> 00:38:02,960
Speaker 5: went right for him as an offensive player and health wise,

829
00:38:03,320 --> 00:38:05,960
Speaker 5: and it seems like he was going to leave everybody

830
00:38:05,960 --> 00:38:08,680
Speaker 5: else in the dust, and yet he winds up right there.

831
00:38:08,880 --> 00:38:11,360
Speaker 5: It's been so long, figure about the Marlins, but across

832
00:38:11,440 --> 00:38:14,839
Speaker 5: all franchises, it's been so rare for anybody to get

833
00:38:14,880 --> 00:38:16,960
Speaker 5: to that number. There's such a big gap between even

834
00:38:17,520 --> 00:38:21,000
Speaker 5: like fifty and sixty, there's a limit where just physically

835
00:38:21,080 --> 00:38:24,279
Speaker 5: you really feel it. As the season goes on, even

836
00:38:24,320 --> 00:38:26,840
Speaker 5: if you were getting on base, the guys just sometimes

837
00:38:26,880 --> 00:38:29,799
Speaker 5: subconsciously they just make the decisions that maybe I'm not

838
00:38:29,800 --> 00:38:31,880
Speaker 5: going to steal here in August the same way that

839
00:38:31,960 --> 00:38:35,600
Speaker 5: it would in April, and it slows down, they'll be

840
00:38:35,840 --> 00:38:37,920
Speaker 5: I can see it. It is the fact that is

841
00:38:37,960 --> 00:38:41,840
Speaker 5: on his mind tells you something, OLP. But yeah, that

842
00:38:41,920 --> 00:38:43,879
Speaker 5: helps that he's actually might go out of his way

843
00:38:43,920 --> 00:38:46,520
Speaker 5: to do it even if it's not in the team's

844
00:38:46,560 --> 00:38:49,359
Speaker 5: best interest every single time. But I admire that that's

845
00:38:49,400 --> 00:38:52,480
Speaker 5: something that makes the season like this more entertaining. That

846
00:38:52,480 --> 00:38:56,440
Speaker 5: these players have their own goals in mind that keep

847
00:38:56,480 --> 00:38:58,480
Speaker 5: them motivated even during the dog days.

848
00:38:58,760 --> 00:39:00,839
Speaker 6: So well, the.

849
00:39:00,840 --> 00:39:05,560
Speaker 4: Other thing too about this subject is, yes, this is

850
00:39:05,560 --> 00:39:07,520
Speaker 4: a fast player, Yes this is the guy who gets

851
00:39:07,520 --> 00:39:07,879
Speaker 4: on BASI.

852
00:39:07,960 --> 00:39:09,720
Speaker 3: Yes, this is the guy who has a good contact skill.

853
00:39:10,280 --> 00:39:14,520
Speaker 4: His babbit last year was just astronomical, and I don't

854
00:39:14,560 --> 00:39:16,520
Speaker 4: even think for a player like this is sustainable. He

855
00:39:16,600 --> 00:39:21,000
Speaker 4: babbit three ninety eight, which is insane. Like, I don't

856
00:39:21,000 --> 00:39:23,320
Speaker 4: think he's going to repeat a three ninety eight babbit

857
00:39:23,520 --> 00:39:26,400
Speaker 4: like that. I don't think that's going to happen. I

858
00:39:26,480 --> 00:39:28,360
Speaker 4: think he's closer to what he did in the minors,

859
00:39:28,360 --> 00:39:30,200
Speaker 4: which is like a three fifty three sixty, which is

860
00:39:30,239 --> 00:39:33,279
Speaker 4: still high but is sustainable for a guy that is

861
00:39:33,320 --> 00:39:36,120
Speaker 4: as fast as he is. But to babbit almost four

862
00:39:36,239 --> 00:39:39,759
Speaker 4: hundred is not repeatable. So I don't think he's going

863
00:39:39,800 --> 00:39:42,480
Speaker 4: to babbit that high, which will probably limit on base

864
00:39:42,600 --> 00:39:45,640
Speaker 4: numbers especially. I know a lot of people say that

865
00:39:45,680 --> 00:39:48,840
Speaker 4: line of protection is a myth. The Marlins will not

866
00:39:48,960 --> 00:39:52,200
Speaker 4: have a ton behind him. I don't think, unfortunately, even

867
00:39:52,239 --> 00:39:54,480
Speaker 4: if he leads off, so I think that that's something

868
00:39:54,480 --> 00:39:56,399
Speaker 4: to keep it in mind as well, that maybe he'll

869
00:39:56,400 --> 00:39:57,040
Speaker 4: walk a little bit more.

870
00:39:57,080 --> 00:39:58,760
Speaker 3: Maybe you'll have more more.

871
00:39:58,600 --> 00:40:00,759
Speaker 4: Opportunity for stile in basis because walk a little bit more,

872
00:40:00,760 --> 00:40:02,239
Speaker 4: because they're gonna fitch around him at the top of

873
00:40:02,239 --> 00:40:02,600
Speaker 4: the lineup.

874
00:40:02,719 --> 00:40:03,919
Speaker 3: That's a possibility too.

875
00:40:04,280 --> 00:40:06,320
Speaker 4: I just don't think that he will get on base

876
00:40:06,880 --> 00:40:09,480
Speaker 4: nearly as much as he did last year at that

877
00:40:09,680 --> 00:40:12,799
Speaker 4: three wor did he hit three twenty eight. I think

878
00:40:12,840 --> 00:40:15,719
Speaker 4: that's probably gonna come down. So not to necessarily say

879
00:40:15,760 --> 00:40:17,719
Speaker 4: that he can't do three hundred, that's a possibility for

880
00:40:18,040 --> 00:40:20,560
Speaker 4: a two contact guy. I just think with that babbot

881
00:40:20,640 --> 00:40:23,560
Speaker 4: coming down, less chances on base, especially with the two

882
00:40:23,640 --> 00:40:25,920
Speaker 4: contact stuff. I don't think he's gonna walk a totally

883
00:40:26,440 --> 00:40:28,440
Speaker 4: much higher amount than he did, even with the line

884
00:40:28,440 --> 00:40:31,640
Speaker 4: of protection meaning what it is. So I it's a

885
00:40:31,640 --> 00:40:34,720
Speaker 4: bold prediction for sure, but I would expect his babbitt

886
00:40:34,760 --> 00:40:36,759
Speaker 4: definitely to come down, which will limit those chances.

887
00:40:38,000 --> 00:40:41,520
Speaker 1: So before we wrap up, just what other predictions that

888
00:40:41,600 --> 00:40:43,160
Speaker 1: you guys have that you guys may have left on

889
00:40:43,200 --> 00:40:44,839
Speaker 1: the back burner. I have a couple of eyesak, I'm

890
00:40:44,880 --> 00:40:46,440
Speaker 1: sure you do as well as Eli, and.

891
00:40:46,640 --> 00:40:49,040
Speaker 5: I had a highly specific one that this would be

892
00:40:49,040 --> 00:40:52,480
Speaker 5: the year the Marlins throw their first combined no hitter

893
00:40:52,719 --> 00:40:57,400
Speaker 5: in team history. They have had six conventional no hitters

894
00:40:57,480 --> 00:41:01,000
Speaker 5: at the top of my head, Lighter brown On, Burnett,

895
00:41:03,640 --> 00:41:03,960
Speaker 5: ann A.

896
00:41:03,960 --> 00:41:06,480
Speaker 2: Baal, Henderson and volcz.

897
00:41:06,320 --> 00:41:09,160
Speaker 5: Alvarez and volz So. But all those guys want the

898
00:41:09,200 --> 00:41:11,759
Speaker 5: distance in today's day and age. I think this is

899
00:41:11,760 --> 00:41:15,920
Speaker 5: an emerging organizational philosophy that where they're gonna maximize the

900
00:41:16,120 --> 00:41:18,960
Speaker 5: effectiveness every inning and every picture out there, but not

901
00:41:19,400 --> 00:41:21,360
Speaker 5: the longevity that these starters have.

902
00:41:21,719 --> 00:41:22,880
Speaker 6: This is a year where.

903
00:41:22,960 --> 00:41:26,120
Speaker 5: Even if Sandy is absolutely humming, and even if Ryan

904
00:41:26,120 --> 00:41:27,719
Speaker 5: Weathers whoever you want to put in there, is on

905
00:41:27,760 --> 00:41:29,520
Speaker 5: top of their game. I don't think we're gonna see

906
00:41:29,520 --> 00:41:31,160
Speaker 5: any complete games from Marlin's pitchers.

907
00:41:31,280 --> 00:41:33,919
Speaker 2: Yeah, no complete games.

908
00:41:34,480 --> 00:41:36,760
Speaker 5: I do think there are gonna be situations, and it

909
00:41:36,800 --> 00:41:39,200
Speaker 5: even matches up with the negative one I made earlier

910
00:41:39,520 --> 00:41:42,560
Speaker 5: where there's gonna be some control issues with this team,

911
00:41:42,560 --> 00:41:44,400
Speaker 5: but there're gonna be certain nights where they're just unhittable

912
00:41:44,440 --> 00:41:46,440
Speaker 5: with the stuff that they have and all the work

913
00:41:46,440 --> 00:41:49,040
Speaker 5: they've put in on pitch design this past off season

914
00:41:49,120 --> 00:41:50,879
Speaker 5: is gonna pay off in a way that shuts down

915
00:41:50,920 --> 00:41:52,960
Speaker 5: the opposition. So they've never had a combined to no

916
00:41:53,000 --> 00:41:54,960
Speaker 5: note in the team's history. They haven't had a no

917
00:41:54,960 --> 00:41:57,640
Speaker 5: no at all since volk Is nearly eight years ago

918
00:41:57,719 --> 00:42:00,479
Speaker 5: at this point, and I think I can see several

919
00:42:00,520 --> 00:42:02,600
Speaker 5: different guys being at the front of that ed, but

920
00:42:02,600 --> 00:42:04,759
Speaker 5: it would be combined effort with a couple of pin

921
00:42:04,920 --> 00:42:06,000
Speaker 5: Arms involved.

922
00:42:06,640 --> 00:42:09,359
Speaker 1: Yeah, I had. I had another Edwards one just in case.

923
00:42:09,400 --> 00:42:11,320
Speaker 1: I said he would win the batting title, so he

924
00:42:11,320 --> 00:42:14,359
Speaker 1: would snap Lewis Riise's streak at least on the National

925
00:42:14,440 --> 00:42:17,080
Speaker 1: League side. And then I had that Griffin Conan would

926
00:42:17,080 --> 00:42:20,120
Speaker 1: had twenty five homers, and I said Royn Weathers would

927
00:42:20,120 --> 00:42:21,840
Speaker 1: win the cy young but you guys already had her

928
00:42:21,840 --> 00:42:24,239
Speaker 1: Weathers once. I didn't want to repeat that. But any

929
00:42:24,320 --> 00:42:25,640
Speaker 1: any on your end, Isaac.

930
00:42:25,960 --> 00:42:28,279
Speaker 2: Yeah, I had another Xavier one as well. I had

931
00:42:28,360 --> 00:42:31,279
Speaker 2: him winning the title, and I had him accruing at

932
00:42:31,400 --> 00:42:35,399
Speaker 2: least three war more than Louise Arise in twenty twenty five,

933
00:42:36,040 --> 00:42:38,799
Speaker 2: just to you know, there's always these comparisons, so the

934
00:42:38,960 --> 00:42:41,320
Speaker 2: anger when a Rise was traded and hey we have

935
00:42:41,360 --> 00:42:43,160
Speaker 2: a Rise at home and Xavier Edwards, and I just

936
00:42:43,160 --> 00:42:46,080
Speaker 2: want people to realize how much more valuable Xavier Edwards

937
00:42:46,160 --> 00:42:49,000
Speaker 2: is than Louise Rise. So I had that one. Once

938
00:42:49,040 --> 00:42:50,640
Speaker 2: Eli went with a four war there was no way

939
00:42:50,680 --> 00:42:52,520
Speaker 2: for it for me to do that. And the other

940
00:42:52,560 --> 00:42:55,080
Speaker 2: one I had was obviously Ramirez receiving NL Rookie of

941
00:42:55,080 --> 00:43:00,719
Speaker 2: the Year votes. I'm probably gonna quote tweet are a

942
00:43:00,840 --> 00:43:02,919
Speaker 2: report on this with that I do think he's gonna

943
00:43:02,920 --> 00:43:04,960
Speaker 2: get Rookie of the Year votes, but Carver took that

944
00:43:05,040 --> 00:43:06,319
Speaker 2: one and that was pretty much Yet.

945
00:43:07,120 --> 00:43:09,759
Speaker 5: I had another Augustine related one that he was going

946
00:43:09,840 --> 00:43:14,759
Speaker 5: to out Homer Jazz, given that they were that jazz.

947
00:43:15,239 --> 00:43:16,120
Speaker 2: In that ballpark.

948
00:43:16,880 --> 00:43:18,839
Speaker 5: Despite the ballpark is in and even though he's coming

949
00:43:18,880 --> 00:43:22,040
Speaker 5: off a career high in Homer's last season, that it

950
00:43:22,040 --> 00:43:24,319
Speaker 5: doesn't mean that he's totally passed the injury issues he've

951
00:43:24,320 --> 00:43:26,520
Speaker 5: had s had before. And it was even more so,

952
00:43:26,600 --> 00:43:30,840
Speaker 5: of course, a flattering prediction for what Augustine is going

953
00:43:30,920 --> 00:43:34,160
Speaker 5: to do. Carver put his total over twenty, and I'm

954
00:43:34,239 --> 00:43:36,520
Speaker 5: kind of aligned with that, as honestly gets called the

955
00:43:36,560 --> 00:43:39,320
Speaker 5: relatively early in the year. Whether it's the d H

956
00:43:39,400 --> 00:43:41,919
Speaker 5: or catch er both, you guys have known. I haven't

957
00:43:41,960 --> 00:43:44,800
Speaker 5: mentioned it too much on this show, but I'm still

958
00:43:45,000 --> 00:43:48,000
Speaker 5: a little skeptical about what the Liam Hicks season looks

959
00:43:48,040 --> 00:43:50,000
Speaker 5: like as it plays out. It's so hard for guys,

960
00:43:50,120 --> 00:43:53,239
Speaker 5: for catchers, especially to skip a whole level and play

961
00:43:53,239 --> 00:43:55,879
Speaker 5: in the big leagues and to play only part time

962
00:43:55,880 --> 00:43:58,759
Speaker 5: and have success. I think there's a lot of circumstances

963
00:43:58,760 --> 00:44:00,920
Speaker 5: that would lead to Augustine coming up early in the year,

964
00:44:01,239 --> 00:44:05,080
Speaker 5: playing close to every day and having immediate success. Right there.

965
00:44:05,840 --> 00:44:08,480
Speaker 1: Alrighty, last thing I want to dive into right before

966
00:44:08,480 --> 00:44:10,640
Speaker 1: we wrap up is just the news with Edward who

967
00:44:10,640 --> 00:44:13,719
Speaker 1: will begin the season on the isle. Edward Cabrera tough

968
00:44:13,760 --> 00:44:16,399
Speaker 1: blow obviously, just because you know the stuff is there.

969
00:44:16,440 --> 00:44:19,239
Speaker 1: He struggled a lot this spring, but Connor Gillespie will

970
00:44:19,280 --> 00:44:21,920
Speaker 1: most likely take that spot. We don't need to make

971
00:44:21,960 --> 00:44:24,600
Speaker 1: a corresponding movement. I'm just guessing is once Cabrera officially

972
00:44:24,600 --> 00:44:27,360
Speaker 1: goes on the il, they'll just, I believe, add Gillespie

973
00:44:27,440 --> 00:44:30,000
Speaker 1: there for now. But Isaac obviously a tough blow. You

974
00:44:30,040 --> 00:44:31,680
Speaker 1: don't want to start your you know, your season with

975
00:44:31,719 --> 00:44:35,520
Speaker 1: a rotation already down a man. But Glespie's been pretty

976
00:44:35,520 --> 00:44:37,720
Speaker 1: good the spring. He had a pretty good start again

977
00:44:37,760 --> 00:44:41,560
Speaker 1: today when we're recording this, so not the worst situation

978
00:44:41,640 --> 00:44:43,160
Speaker 1: that could have happened for the Marlins. But again, this

979
00:44:43,239 --> 00:44:45,439
Speaker 1: is a guy who we'll see. He has to face

980
00:44:45,480 --> 00:44:48,279
Speaker 1: the Mets, so you know, if everything lines up as

981
00:44:48,320 --> 00:44:49,280
Speaker 1: we expect.

982
00:44:50,239 --> 00:44:54,680
Speaker 2: Death taxes and a weird spring training issue with Edward Cabrera,

983
00:44:54,719 --> 00:44:57,160
Speaker 2: whether it's a finger injury or a nail injury or

984
00:44:57,200 --> 00:45:00,600
Speaker 2: a visa issues. Something always seems to to go wrong

985
00:45:00,719 --> 00:45:02,759
Speaker 2: with edwar Carbrera in the month of March. I don't

986
00:45:02,800 --> 00:45:05,560
Speaker 2: know what it is, but once again it has happened

987
00:45:05,600 --> 00:45:07,799
Speaker 2: in twenty twenty five. And you know what, the way

988
00:45:07,840 --> 00:45:09,759
Speaker 2: he was pitching prior to the injury. I don't know

989
00:45:09,800 --> 00:45:11,239
Speaker 2: if that had anything to do with the way he

990
00:45:11,280 --> 00:45:14,000
Speaker 2: was performed, but he just could not get out in

991
00:45:14,040 --> 00:45:16,120
Speaker 2: any great for League appearance that he had. He did

992
00:45:16,160 --> 00:45:20,000
Speaker 2: not look good. That is someone who President of Baseball

993
00:45:20,000 --> 00:45:23,400
Speaker 2: Operations Peter Bendix, was very, very bullish on. He had

994
00:45:23,480 --> 00:45:26,440
Speaker 2: high expectations for him. New pitching staff, new coaching staff,

995
00:45:26,719 --> 00:45:29,160
Speaker 2: maybe they could unlock it something that mels Ottomeyer couldn't do.

996
00:45:29,880 --> 00:45:31,520
Speaker 2: It didn't look like it was going in that direction

997
00:45:31,719 --> 00:45:34,520
Speaker 2: all of March. So it is tough just because you

998
00:45:34,560 --> 00:45:37,680
Speaker 2: know how special the stuff is. Sanuel contrast, said that

999
00:45:37,719 --> 00:45:40,120
Speaker 2: he's got the best stuff on the entire organization. The

1000
00:45:40,160 --> 00:45:43,120
Speaker 2: former number one overall prospect just has not gone the

1001
00:45:43,120 --> 00:45:45,239
Speaker 2: way any of us thought after a pretty decent twenty

1002
00:45:45,280 --> 00:45:49,160
Speaker 2: twenty one rookie campaign. But it's just it's tough to

1003
00:45:49,200 --> 00:45:52,960
Speaker 2: see yet another strange injury. As you can see out

1004
00:45:52,960 --> 00:45:55,520
Speaker 2: here the inflame nerve in the right biceps in twenty

1005
00:45:55,560 --> 00:45:58,160
Speaker 2: twenty one. The b says fatigue in twenty twenty two.

1006
00:45:58,719 --> 00:46:00,800
Speaker 2: He was healthy in twenty three, and then a shoulder

1007
00:46:00,840 --> 00:46:04,719
Speaker 2: issue of twenty four and today i'm this year right

1008
00:46:04,800 --> 00:46:06,080
Speaker 2: middle finger blister.

1009
00:46:05,960 --> 00:46:08,399
Speaker 1: Wasn't twenty twenty three. The visa well.

1010
00:46:08,719 --> 00:46:10,880
Speaker 5: Point about twenty twenty three. That's when he was healthy

1011
00:46:10,960 --> 00:46:13,160
Speaker 5: in the opening day rotation. And if you guys remember

1012
00:46:13,480 --> 00:46:16,280
Speaker 5: his first two starts of that year, he walked thirteen

1013
00:46:16,360 --> 00:46:19,400
Speaker 5: batters towards. So he was healthy and in the rotation.

1014
00:46:19,520 --> 00:46:22,120
Speaker 5: But he just was not effective at least early on

1015
00:46:22,160 --> 00:46:23,919
Speaker 5: in that year. And it was another he got hurt

1016
00:46:23,960 --> 00:46:26,239
Speaker 5: in the middle of that year. He's never had none

1017
00:46:26,239 --> 00:46:28,279
Speaker 5: of these five years. Will look at the last five

1018
00:46:28,280 --> 00:46:31,120
Speaker 5: has he been fully healthy from start to finish. So

1019
00:46:31,239 --> 00:46:35,399
Speaker 5: I've spoken plenty about Edward and my views on him.

1020
00:46:36,320 --> 00:46:39,440
Speaker 5: Fortunately in this case, it's not a severe setback. He's

1021
00:46:39,440 --> 00:46:42,719
Speaker 5: already throwing again. Should only be a couple starts that

1022
00:46:42,760 --> 00:46:44,440
Speaker 5: he misses at the start of the year before he

1023
00:46:44,480 --> 00:46:45,160
Speaker 5: builds back up.

1024
00:46:45,520 --> 00:46:46,160
Speaker 6: We shall see.

1025
00:46:46,320 --> 00:46:50,120
Speaker 5: Just because, as Isaac noted, his effectiveness this spring was awful.

1026
00:46:50,239 --> 00:46:55,680
Speaker 5: So assuming that he looks it's more it goes better

1027
00:46:55,800 --> 00:46:58,399
Speaker 5: during this ramp up period. We should see him mid

1028
00:46:58,440 --> 00:47:01,600
Speaker 5: April back in this parans rotation again and what is

1029
00:47:01,680 --> 00:47:03,960
Speaker 5: yet another make or break year for him, at least

1030
00:47:04,000 --> 00:47:06,919
Speaker 5: as a starter. For sure, he's on a short leash,

1031
00:47:06,920 --> 00:47:09,719
Speaker 5: as we've talked about on previous streams, in order to

1032
00:47:10,280 --> 00:47:12,200
Speaker 5: prove that he can actually take a step forward after

1033
00:47:13,200 --> 00:47:14,960
Speaker 5: really just not doing so the last few years.

1034
00:47:16,200 --> 00:47:20,279
Speaker 1: Talk about Connor GILLESPIEK Carver when you're very high on him, No,

1035
00:47:20,520 --> 00:47:21,320
Speaker 1: just I mean.

1036
00:47:21,920 --> 00:47:24,200
Speaker 3: And it's gonna Is this gonna be a guy that

1037
00:47:24,200 --> 00:47:25,080
Speaker 3: wins the Scion Award?

1038
00:47:25,160 --> 00:47:25,200
Speaker 5: No?

1039
00:47:25,480 --> 00:47:28,480
Speaker 4: But is it this guy that's usable in in rotation

1040
00:47:28,640 --> 00:47:30,640
Speaker 4: at the back end of a rotation for especially for

1041
00:47:30,719 --> 00:47:31,080
Speaker 4: this team.

1042
00:47:31,160 --> 00:47:33,480
Speaker 3: Yeah. I mean he's got like four or five pitches.

1043
00:47:33,520 --> 00:47:36,759
Speaker 4: He elevates with fastball, cutter, he's you know, down low

1044
00:47:36,760 --> 00:47:38,759
Speaker 4: in the zone as you saw today with slider and

1045
00:47:38,880 --> 00:47:41,560
Speaker 4: change up. I think it's usable. I don't think this

1046
00:47:41,600 --> 00:47:43,600
Speaker 4: guy is going to be guy that blows you away whatsoever.

1047
00:47:44,120 --> 00:47:47,080
Speaker 4: But it's usable. And that's what the Marlins need right.

1048
00:47:47,040 --> 00:47:51,080
Speaker 3: Now is usable guys that they can save their prospects for.

1049
00:47:51,320 --> 00:47:53,200
Speaker 4: I mean, they're they're going to use this guy instead

1050
00:47:53,200 --> 00:47:55,359
Speaker 4: of calling up Snelling and that that's exactly what you need.

1051
00:47:55,440 --> 00:47:58,000
Speaker 4: That's exactly what you want out of a guy of

1052
00:47:58,040 --> 00:47:59,840
Speaker 4: this caliber. The Marlins know what they have here. I

1053
00:47:59,840 --> 00:48:03,759
Speaker 4: mean this, this zone capacity here, the fact that he

1054
00:48:03,760 --> 00:48:05,680
Speaker 4: can go near and in and out of the strike

1055
00:48:05,800 --> 00:48:08,120
Speaker 4: zone for strikes and swings and missus five whiffs today.

1056
00:48:08,760 --> 00:48:10,680
Speaker 4: That's all you can ask for out of a fifth starter.

1057
00:48:10,840 --> 00:48:12,680
Speaker 4: So I think he's fine. I don't think he's a

1058
00:48:12,719 --> 00:48:14,200
Speaker 4: cy Young. I don't think he's an ace. I don't

1059
00:48:14,200 --> 00:48:18,080
Speaker 4: think he's you know, necessarily a future cornerstone or anything.

1060
00:48:18,120 --> 00:48:19,640
Speaker 4: But it's a usable arm right now, and that's what

1061
00:48:19,680 --> 00:48:22,520
Speaker 4: the Marlins need, especially as they plug and play because

1062
00:48:22,520 --> 00:48:25,959
Speaker 4: of injuries so and having to and wanting to save

1063
00:48:26,400 --> 00:48:29,640
Speaker 4: you know, prospect contracts. So this is fine. It's not

1064
00:48:29,800 --> 00:48:32,200
Speaker 4: bad at all. And this guy's earned it, so why

1065
00:48:32,239 --> 00:48:34,160
Speaker 4: not have him on the roster. He's earned his spot there.

1066
00:48:34,200 --> 00:48:37,560
Speaker 4: He needs to be there, he should be there. This

1067
00:48:37,600 --> 00:48:39,960
Speaker 4: is totally fine with me. I I like this guy

1068
00:48:40,000 --> 00:48:40,600
Speaker 4: as the fifth starter.

1069
00:48:40,640 --> 00:48:41,240
Speaker 3: It's fine.

1070
00:48:42,480 --> 00:48:44,480
Speaker 1: And the last thing I want to quickly touch on

1071
00:48:44,600 --> 00:48:48,319
Speaker 1: is that Hazy Sanche's injury left oblique string. He will

1072
00:48:48,320 --> 00:48:50,640
Speaker 1: miss the first full miss four weeks, so technically first

1073
00:48:50,640 --> 00:48:53,000
Speaker 1: two weeks of the season. We'll see what that looks like,

1074
00:48:53,120 --> 00:48:56,960
Speaker 1: you know, as this as progresses. So that kind of

1075
00:48:57,040 --> 00:48:59,760
Speaker 1: leaves us to an outfield where it'll probably be ConA

1076
00:48:59,840 --> 00:49:04,440
Speaker 1: and left, Derek Killing, center, Dan Myers and right, and

1077
00:49:04,480 --> 00:49:06,600
Speaker 1: then on the outside looking in, we're still looking at

1078
00:49:06,680 --> 00:49:10,360
Speaker 1: you know, Albert Almore, who remains the final outfielder not

1079
00:49:10,440 --> 00:49:12,120
Speaker 1: on the forty men. I want to say in camp,

1080
00:49:12,480 --> 00:49:13,960
Speaker 1: and this is what I want to talk about real quick,

1081
00:49:13,960 --> 00:49:16,640
Speaker 1: because Kyle Stowers has been awful, Like there's no other

1082
00:49:16,680 --> 00:49:19,200
Speaker 1: way to say it. In thirty at bats he struck

1083
00:49:19,239 --> 00:49:23,360
Speaker 1: out fifteen times. Isaac. I know he've been pretty adamant

1084
00:49:23,400 --> 00:49:26,040
Speaker 1: about it recently. How do you see this all playing out?

1085
00:49:26,080 --> 00:49:28,239
Speaker 1: I really find it hard. They won't have Stowars on

1086
00:49:28,239 --> 00:49:30,680
Speaker 1: the opening day roster, but I mean, the way he's performed,

1087
00:49:30,719 --> 00:49:32,920
Speaker 1: I mean you should keep him down in triple A.

1088
00:49:33,000 --> 00:49:35,120
Speaker 1: And you know al Moore is kind of heated up recently.

1089
00:49:35,120 --> 00:49:38,240
Speaker 1: He could play all three spots. I would perfer Alma

1090
00:49:38,320 --> 00:49:40,479
Speaker 1: over Stours right now, but I don't know if they'll

1091
00:49:40,520 --> 00:49:40,799
Speaker 1: do that.

1092
00:49:40,840 --> 00:49:43,000
Speaker 2: You know, Yeah, there's a couple of things they can

1093
00:49:43,040 --> 00:49:45,520
Speaker 2: do here about just regarding Stours, it's been tough to

1094
00:49:45,560 --> 00:49:47,959
Speaker 2: watch because he has gotten on bass. He has drawn

1095
00:49:48,000 --> 00:49:50,680
Speaker 2: a good a considerable amount of walks, but if it's

1096
00:49:50,680 --> 00:49:53,680
Speaker 2: not a strikeout or a walk, it's directly into the ground.

1097
00:49:53,719 --> 00:49:55,759
Speaker 2: He has not come close to an extra base hit

1098
00:49:56,160 --> 00:49:59,160
Speaker 2: all spring long. I know they acquired him, obviously he

1099
00:49:59,239 --> 00:50:01,239
Speaker 2: was more so about no, but I do think they

1100
00:50:01,280 --> 00:50:04,160
Speaker 2: have some sort of stock in this player, even though

1101
00:50:04,280 --> 00:50:07,560
Speaker 2: Charter Rodgers didn't really work out that well for Baltimore.

1102
00:50:07,880 --> 00:50:09,719
Speaker 2: I don't think it's a four got conclusion that he

1103
00:50:09,760 --> 00:50:11,600
Speaker 2: makes his ball club. I think he's got to show something.

1104
00:50:11,640 --> 00:50:14,080
Speaker 2: Like Eli said on Twitter earlier, they could do a

1105
00:50:14,120 --> 00:50:15,640
Speaker 2: couple of other things. They can have either one of

1106
00:50:15,640 --> 00:50:18,920
Speaker 2: Heroberto Hernandez or Ronnie Simon make the club and sort

1107
00:50:18,960 --> 00:50:21,759
Speaker 2: of insert hiverys Soinoha to get some corner reps. I

1108
00:50:21,800 --> 00:50:23,520
Speaker 2: don't think he's got the arm to play center or

1109
00:50:23,520 --> 00:50:26,000
Speaker 2: even right, but you could sort of have him replace

1110
00:50:26,320 --> 00:50:29,200
Speaker 2: that little outfield void and just really count on Derek

1111
00:50:29,239 --> 00:50:33,280
Speaker 2: Hill and Dane Myers to to at least tread lightlier

1112
00:50:33,320 --> 00:50:36,080
Speaker 2: tread waters because it's gonna be tough the way that

1113
00:50:36,160 --> 00:50:38,960
Speaker 2: cal Stars has been hitting its marine training. But the

1114
00:50:39,000 --> 00:50:42,200
Speaker 2: more likely scenario, I think Slower's gonna hit a home

1115
00:50:42,280 --> 00:50:44,280
Speaker 2: run the next couple of days and he's gonna.

1116
00:50:44,040 --> 00:50:44,520
Speaker 6: Make the club.

1117
00:50:46,160 --> 00:50:49,040
Speaker 1: Alrighty, well, we'll wrap it up there, then one more

1118
00:50:49,040 --> 00:50:51,680
Speaker 1: week of spring training games, and then after that, I mean,

1119
00:50:51,680 --> 00:50:55,400
Speaker 1: we're back in Miami with Marland's the Yankees. Oh and

1120
00:50:55,440 --> 00:50:58,279
Speaker 1: then Marlon's Pirates four game set. I mean, you can

1121
00:50:58,280 --> 00:51:00,960
Speaker 1: ask for a better opening day matchup Sandy and Schemes.

1122
00:51:00,960 --> 00:51:03,600
Speaker 1: After that with Mitch Keller, you're gonna have Jerry Jones

1123
00:51:03,600 --> 00:51:05,200
Speaker 1: in there for the Pirates. It'll be a fun first

1124
00:51:05,239 --> 00:51:07,680
Speaker 1: series for sure. Let's hope it's not an OH four

1125
00:51:07,719 --> 00:51:09,200
Speaker 1: start for the Marlins. I think I don't think it

1126
00:51:09,200 --> 00:51:13,240
Speaker 1: will be. But already we'll wrap it up here from Isaacy,

1127
00:51:13,400 --> 00:51:15,880
Speaker 1: like Carver myself, we'll see you guys in two weeks.

1128
00:51:16,280 --> 00:51:36,080
Speaker 1: Peace out and go Fish
