1
00:00:05,320 --> 00:00:07,440
Speaker 1: What's up, friends, and welcome back to Fantasy Pros. This

2
00:00:07,600 --> 00:00:09,479
Speaker 1: is the Fantasy MLB Channel.

3
00:00:09,520 --> 00:00:10,280
Speaker 2: I am Chris Welsh.

4
00:00:10,360 --> 00:00:13,400
Speaker 1: That is Ryan Wormley, and today we are talking about

5
00:00:13,440 --> 00:00:18,040
Speaker 1: fantasy baseball dynasty targets. If you love you some Dynasty baseball,

6
00:00:18,120 --> 00:00:20,720
Speaker 1: we got you covered. If you have been thinking about

7
00:00:20,720 --> 00:00:25,520
Speaker 1: getting into the Dynasty baseball space, first do it. Second,

8
00:00:25,840 --> 00:00:27,920
Speaker 1: we'll help you out with some of our favorite targets

9
00:00:28,080 --> 00:00:31,360
Speaker 1: from the top end of drafts down to a guy

10
00:00:31,360 --> 00:00:34,360
Speaker 1: that actually is not even in minor league or major

11
00:00:34,440 --> 00:00:37,080
Speaker 1: league baseball, a drafted prospect that's going to be coming

12
00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:39,720
Speaker 1: up soon. We got a lot for you, mister Ryan Wormley.

13
00:00:39,720 --> 00:00:42,280
Speaker 1: We haven't done any baseball recently, but when we do,

14
00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:44,240
Speaker 1: you and I are doing Dynasty together.

15
00:00:44,720 --> 00:00:47,440
Speaker 3: Oh yeah. We were talking about some off season baseball

16
00:00:47,479 --> 00:00:50,160
Speaker 3: shows that we could be doing as a team, and

17
00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:52,080
Speaker 3: I kind of raised my hand and said, if there

18
00:00:52,159 --> 00:00:53,920
Speaker 3: is a show I want to be on, it's a

19
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:56,720
Speaker 3: Dynasty show with Welsh. It's something I always enjoy talking

20
00:00:56,720 --> 00:00:59,800
Speaker 3: with you about. Obviously, you have a big well of knowledge,

21
00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:02,640
Speaker 3: deep well of knowledge when it comes to prospects and everything,

22
00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:05,240
Speaker 3: so I always find it very informative and insightful to

23
00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:08,000
Speaker 3: learn from you. I actually would sort of frame my

24
00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:11,000
Speaker 3: participation in this episode as of course I have thoughts

25
00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:12,960
Speaker 3: and opinions on these players are going to be talking about.

26
00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:14,960
Speaker 3: But when I put together the names from my list

27
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:16,880
Speaker 3: that I wanted to choose as targets, part of it

28
00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:18,400
Speaker 3: is because I do believe in them, and part of

29
00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:20,840
Speaker 3: it is because I want to hear your feedback and

30
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:23,240
Speaker 3: know what you think about these guys too. Am I

31
00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:25,360
Speaker 3: crazy for including some of these names? Are you in

32
00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:27,440
Speaker 3: total agreement with some of these names? We'll see how

33
00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:29,200
Speaker 3: it goes throughout the show. We've got eight each of

34
00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:31,880
Speaker 3: them here. But yeah, I'm looking forward to the show

35
00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:34,480
Speaker 3: and just just talking baseball. I mean, it's been several

36
00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:37,640
Speaker 3: months of football only for me, so it's fun, like

37
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:39,400
Speaker 3: a nice refreshing change of pace here to get a

38
00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:41,920
Speaker 3: little baseball talk go and especially during the winter meetings.

39
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:44,360
Speaker 1: Well, we're gonna rewire your brain. It's time to rewire

40
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:47,320
Speaker 1: your brain and everybody else that's watching, not only I mean,

41
00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:50,200
Speaker 1: obviously this has like a redraft perspective to it, but

42
00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:52,560
Speaker 1: you know, these are guys we've already done a Dynasty

43
00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:54,680
Speaker 1: Ranks episode, So go back and check it out if

44
00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:57,200
Speaker 1: you want on the podcast and the YouTube channel, where

45
00:01:57,360 --> 00:01:59,600
Speaker 1: kind of going through what my top one hundred looks like.

46
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:02,360
Speaker 2: These are going to be in the draft target.

47
00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:05,320
Speaker 1: Range that go you know, inside the top ten all

48
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:07,960
Speaker 1: the way out inside the two hundred. So these are

49
00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:10,880
Speaker 1: targets in Dynasty that we are heavily and obviously you're

50
00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:12,640
Speaker 1: going to kind of see that in my ranks. If

51
00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:15,840
Speaker 1: I'm ranking someone in a dynasty higher than others, that's

52
00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:18,040
Speaker 1: you know, kind of like a pseudo targets. But when

53
00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:21,040
Speaker 1: being asked that question, these are players that we are

54
00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:23,200
Speaker 1: jumping into. If you guys want to check out a

55
00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:26,000
Speaker 1: new update coming very very shortly here, but we've already

56
00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:28,200
Speaker 1: got the Dynasty ranks over on Fantasy pro, So go

62
00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:41,120
Speaker 1: jump in.

63
00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:44,560
Speaker 2: We have got eight targets each from.

64
00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:47,000
Speaker 1: High to low, and Ryan, why don't we start with

65
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:51,240
Speaker 1: your first one? I was gonna maybe give you some

66
00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:53,800
Speaker 1: crap about it because this is like your dude, but

67
00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:57,000
Speaker 1: I think this is a fantastic player to talk about.

68
00:02:57,440 --> 00:03:01,040
Speaker 1: Number one on your Dynasty targets is from your beloved

69
00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:02,320
Speaker 1: Baltimore Orioles.

70
00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:04,919
Speaker 3: It had to be, right, first time talking baseball in

71
00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:06,919
Speaker 3: a while, it had to be a Baltimore oriole. It's

72
00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:08,959
Speaker 3: Gunner Henderson. I think he could have made a case

73
00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:11,240
Speaker 3: for a couple of different Orioles on this list. Maybe

74
00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:13,400
Speaker 3: I will do that, stick around and to find out.

75
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:16,040
Speaker 3: But the reason that I went with Gunner is because

76
00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:18,160
Speaker 3: he if you look at these rankings, and this is

77
00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:21,320
Speaker 3: not going to be as strictly this guy's undervalued episode,

78
00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:23,640
Speaker 3: but it was something I looked at in terms of

79
00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:25,720
Speaker 3: what roughly would be the cost to get a player

80
00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:28,200
Speaker 3: like this, whether in a startup draft or in a trade.

81
00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:30,560
Speaker 3: Gunner is not ranked inside the top ten in our

82
00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:33,440
Speaker 3: consensus Dnasty rankings on the site or top twelve in

83
00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:35,320
Speaker 3: the Dynasty rankings on the site. He's not ranked as

84
00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:38,040
Speaker 3: a first round player. He's just outside. He's thirteenth. But

85
00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:39,680
Speaker 3: I think that's wrong. I think he should be in

86
00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:41,920
Speaker 3: the first round. I know the power was down this

87
00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:44,480
Speaker 3: last year. It was a weird year in Baltimore for

88
00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:47,400
Speaker 3: a lot of reasons. Obviously, Brandon Hyde fired early, a

89
00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:50,000
Speaker 3: lot of players at down seasons. They have the fourth

90
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:52,960
Speaker 3: best odds to win the MLB Draft lottery coming up

91
00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:55,360
Speaker 3: later today. Like it was not the season people expected,

92
00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:58,440
Speaker 3: so I'm kind of willing to write off a lot

93
00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:00,880
Speaker 3: of those struggles. They made some change to the coaching

94
00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:04,240
Speaker 3: staff that I'm really excited about. On the hitter perspective,

95
00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:07,600
Speaker 3: I'm hoping the power comes back. One thing that Craig

96
00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:11,280
Speaker 3: Albernaz has talked about their new manager is not obviously

97
00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:14,040
Speaker 3: they want everybody to get better in as many areas

98
00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:17,760
Speaker 3: as they can, but rather than over focused on fixing weaknesses,

99
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:20,880
Speaker 3: he wants players to lean into what makes them great,

100
00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:24,039
Speaker 3: and I think with Gunner that's gonna be hitting more

101
00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:26,039
Speaker 3: home runs. He hit a lot of balls really hard

102
00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:27,760
Speaker 3: on the ground last year. If you look at some

103
00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:30,400
Speaker 3: of the underlying metrics, they're still pretty strong and honestly,

104
00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:33,360
Speaker 3: like largely pretty similar to in a lot of areas,

105
00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:35,200
Speaker 3: not every area, but in a lot of areas pretty

106
00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:37,599
Speaker 3: similar to what they were in twenty twenty four. But

107
00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:40,400
Speaker 3: he had twenty fewer homers. He did steal ten more bases.

108
00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:42,839
Speaker 3: I think that number could go even higher. With Albernaz

109
00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:45,520
Speaker 3: coming from the Guardian system, I'm expecting a bounce back

110
00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:47,360
Speaker 3: Yere where he's a clear first round pick. So if

111
00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:49,480
Speaker 3: you can get him valued as like a second round

112
00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:51,600
Speaker 3: type of player in Dynasty, I'm all over it.

113
00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:56,440
Speaker 1: So I'm a little bit torn because I loved Gunner

114
00:04:56,760 --> 00:04:58,640
Speaker 1: last year and coming into this year like this was

115
00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:01,480
Speaker 1: one of my guys. Incredible speed. He's near the tippy

116
00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:06,200
Speaker 1: top of bat speed numbers. Bat speed isn't its own

117
00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:09,600
Speaker 1: singular correlative stat, and that's a funny thing. And the

118
00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:12,960
Speaker 1: fun thing about baseball is most of everything is not

119
00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:15,120
Speaker 1: what like a lot of people spend time being like, oh,

120
00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:17,560
Speaker 1: you know, average is stupid, Era is stupid, and it's like,

121
00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:19,919
Speaker 1: all right, you can find singular stats that are maybe stupid.

122
00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:22,640
Speaker 1: All the ones that you really love. I also don't

123
00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:24,720
Speaker 1: think can work singularly. I think you have to look

124
00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:26,560
Speaker 1: at the hole. So the reason I say that is like,

125
00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:30,080
Speaker 1: coming into last year, the thing that you had to

126
00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:31,839
Speaker 1: love when you put a couple of your favorite stats

127
00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:35,200
Speaker 1: together was you had a high percentage barrel percentage with

128
00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:38,480
Speaker 1: a high end hard hit percentage with an expected batting

129
00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:41,560
Speaker 1: average that was supportive with a super super fast bat

130
00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:44,600
Speaker 1: for a guy that was stealing bases, hitting for average,

131
00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:47,320
Speaker 1: and hitting significant homers. I loved all of those things.

132
00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:50,279
Speaker 1: We definitely saw a downtick this past year, and I

133
00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:53,640
Speaker 1: think it opens up the possibility of, like, who is

134
00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:56,520
Speaker 1: Gunner Henderson? You know, Year one it was a lot

135
00:05:56,520 --> 00:05:59,400
Speaker 1: of Homer's little stolen bases average kind of stunk. Last

136
00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:01,160
Speaker 1: year it was a bunch of homers with a high

137
00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:03,919
Speaker 1: end batting average. And this year things did drop. He

138
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:07,000
Speaker 1: dropped significant barrel percentage, his heart hit rate went down,

139
00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:10,479
Speaker 1: nothing crazy or anything like that, but he also struggled

140
00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:12,760
Speaker 1: versus lefties a little bit more. So.

141
00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:14,880
Speaker 2: I guess my ultimate take.

142
00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:17,240
Speaker 1: Is is I actually think there's a by opportunity on

143
00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:20,320
Speaker 1: Gunner Henderson. The consensus Dynasty ranks, he's a little bit

144
00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:22,760
Speaker 1: lower because of me. I'm going to be one of

145
00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:25,640
Speaker 1: the heavy ones on that, because I am worried that

146
00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:26,919
Speaker 1: we might be in like a little bit of a

147
00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:28,920
Speaker 1: capped space of his overall value.

148
00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:29,960
Speaker 2: But I won't deny that.

149
00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:33,360
Speaker 1: Like, regardless of some of those drops, he did decrease

150
00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:35,960
Speaker 1: his k percentage, he still hit the ball. His average

151
00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:38,080
Speaker 1: ex of velocity was still over ninety two, which was

152
00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:41,160
Speaker 1: pretty awesome, and his expected batting average was a little

153
00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:44,160
Speaker 1: bit higher than where he's at. I think, based on

154
00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:47,440
Speaker 1: a post first round valuation, Gunner Henderson is a target

155
00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:50,240
Speaker 1: and I'm kind of down with it. The player that

156
00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:53,440
Speaker 1: I have is also a shortstop and he is ranked higher.

157
00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:57,040
Speaker 1: But curious that your take on this target, La Day

158
00:06:57,080 --> 00:07:00,440
Speaker 1: La Cruz I put on here now. Led Cruise is

159
00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:04,560
Speaker 1: obviously a tremendously valuable player. I think coming into last

160
00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:06,120
Speaker 1: year he was seeing as like a top two or

161
00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:09,480
Speaker 1: three overall guy kind of capped out this year. The

162
00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:14,560
Speaker 1: power numbers stalled out, significant decrease in stolen bases, he

163
00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:18,240
Speaker 1: went from sixty seven down to thirty seven year over year.

164
00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:21,480
Speaker 1: Some of the hitting metrics, again, like the best word

165
00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:23,200
Speaker 1: you can kind of use is like things kind of

166
00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:27,200
Speaker 1: stalled out. But like Gunner Henderson, you saw a slight

167
00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:29,640
Speaker 1: decrease in his barrel percentage. You saw his hard hit

168
00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:32,320
Speaker 1: rate go down, and his expected batting average not quite up.

169
00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:35,240
Speaker 1: Here's my take on it, though, And obviously we're we've

170
00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:37,720
Speaker 1: just focused on two like super super high end players.

171
00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:42,120
Speaker 1: But my take is is the perception around Ellie daily

172
00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:45,720
Speaker 1: Cruz is as negative as it's probably been in eighteen months,

173
00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:49,000
Speaker 1: I think, or so because oh, he stopped stealing bases

174
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:51,120
Speaker 1: and his batting average isn't getting better and maybe there's

175
00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:52,920
Speaker 1: not a lot of home run potential, and he did

176
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:57,000
Speaker 1: decrease here and there, but ultimately he also lowered his

177
00:07:57,000 --> 00:08:01,600
Speaker 1: strikeout percentage by around six percent. On it is him

178
00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:05,120
Speaker 1: having an overall approach change. He lost his ability to

179
00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:06,920
Speaker 1: pull the ball in the air as much as he

180
00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:07,960
Speaker 1: was the year prior.

181
00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:09,520
Speaker 2: But what did he do.

182
00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:13,520
Speaker 1: He increased his own contact percentage, He was able to

183
00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:16,120
Speaker 1: decrease his strikeouts, and I think that was that was

184
00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:20,400
Speaker 1: an adjustment into becoming an overall better hitter. He also

185
00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:23,800
Speaker 1: underperformed against off speed pitches, which if you look at

186
00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:27,920
Speaker 1: the expected batting average between fastballs, breaking pitches and off speed,

187
00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:31,640
Speaker 1: it's just all it's better overall across the board than

188
00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:33,600
Speaker 1: it was last year. So my point is is becoming

189
00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:37,200
Speaker 1: an overall quality hitter that I think will regain those

190
00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:39,600
Speaker 1: stolen bases and I think we can get another twenty

191
00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:42,280
Speaker 1: five fifty season out of Elie day La Cruz. So

192
00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:44,400
Speaker 1: you know, if he's ranked in the top four or

193
00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:45,600
Speaker 1: five by a dynasty owner.

194
00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:46,480
Speaker 2: That doesn't really help.

195
00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:49,160
Speaker 1: But I think in some spaces he's like going after

196
00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:51,679
Speaker 1: guys like Akunya and Julio Rodriguez.

197
00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:52,320
Speaker 2: I think there's a.

198
00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:54,880
Speaker 1: Lot of upside on La Day La Cruz. These are

199
00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:59,400
Speaker 1: two valuable, close to first round those shortstop targets that

200
00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:03,440
Speaker 1: I would, you know, whether it's a refresh or a

201
00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:05,200
Speaker 1: normal dynasty legue, I'd be looking to trade for.

202
00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:07,920
Speaker 3: I think these I mean, I don't think we would

203
00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:09,920
Speaker 3: get much argument with this. I think they're very clearly

204
00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:12,079
Speaker 3: you know, the second and third best short stops you

205
00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:14,199
Speaker 3: can have a dynasty obviously Bobby, with Junior being the

206
00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:18,800
Speaker 3: other guy inside that top three. If this was like

207
00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:23,000
Speaker 3: a tapering off down season, like still getting twenty two

208
00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:26,200
Speaker 3: homers and thirty seven stolen bases and a non creating

209
00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:30,199
Speaker 3: batting average, is like sure, Like that's if that's the downside.

210
00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:32,839
Speaker 3: And if you want to frame for both these guys really,

211
00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:34,600
Speaker 3: because I think you could talk about them in tandem

212
00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:37,040
Speaker 3: if you wanted to frame Gunner and Ellie as like

213
00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:41,079
Speaker 3: having these steps back in some fashion this season, they

214
00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:43,640
Speaker 3: were what twenty three and twenty four, twenty two and

215
00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:45,920
Speaker 3: twenty three, Like I don't know what Ellie's birthday is,

216
00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:50,720
Speaker 3: but very very young, and that like that's okay to

217
00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:52,960
Speaker 3: have a step back when you're still getting some level

218
00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:55,680
Speaker 3: of production there. I have very little doubt in my

219
00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:59,280
Speaker 3: mind that both of these shortstops can outperform where they're

220
00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:02,240
Speaker 3: currently being value over the next you know, half decade.

221
00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:04,960
Speaker 3: And I think they're good byes, both of them. I

222
00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:07,640
Speaker 3: agree like Ellie should be ranked higher than Gunner, but

223
00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:11,120
Speaker 3: I think they should be pretty close. And again, Wit

224
00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:13,720
Speaker 3: is the only short stop like really even in the

225
00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:15,680
Speaker 3: conversation for me with these two.

226
00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:17,960
Speaker 1: All right, well let's go to number two on both

227
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:19,520
Speaker 1: of our list, and this is this will be an

228
00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:22,319
Speaker 1: interesting collection. You're actually gonna jump in with your first

229
00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:25,280
Speaker 1: picture that's going to jump on the board pictures in Dynasty.

230
00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:27,400
Speaker 1: You are always like a little bit dicey, But I

231
00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:29,760
Speaker 1: actually think it's even better that we're having this conversation

232
00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:33,680
Speaker 1: of targets because it's like I lean in Dynasty to

233
00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:36,840
Speaker 1: give me some of the older pictures that are devalued

234
00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:38,480
Speaker 1: because of their age. I think those are some of

235
00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:40,840
Speaker 1: the better values. But you and I have both picked

236
00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:43,560
Speaker 1: a couple of young pitchers. So my number two is

237
00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:45,240
Speaker 1: not gonna be a picture, but yours is. So come

238
00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:48,240
Speaker 1: in with your number two Dynasty target starting pitcher in

239
00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:48,679
Speaker 1: the NL.

240
00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:51,000
Speaker 3: Yeah. And by the way, just like in terms of

241
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:53,160
Speaker 3: how these are numbered, I basically put them in order

242
00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:55,280
Speaker 3: of where they are ranked in the consensus ranking. So

243
00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:57,280
Speaker 3: there might be guys later that, like I like better

244
00:10:57,320 --> 00:10:59,640
Speaker 3: at cost is going to kind of clarify for that everybody.

245
00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:01,600
Speaker 3: But the number two guy that we're talking about here,

246
00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:05,120
Speaker 3: Hunter Green, a player that I loved coming into last season.

247
00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:08,320
Speaker 3: I was all over Hunter Green in twenty twenty five

248
00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:11,040
Speaker 3: drafts and it looked really good, you know, early on.

249
00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:13,640
Speaker 3: Of course, the injury bug strikes again. He ended up

250
00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:16,120
Speaker 3: just pitching one hundred and seven and two thirds innings.

251
00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:17,960
Speaker 3: The most he's pitched in his career was one hundred

252
00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:19,640
Speaker 3: and fifteen and a third innings in twenty twenty four.

253
00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:22,480
Speaker 3: So the durability stuff has been a concern. Obviously. He

254
00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:24,960
Speaker 3: throws so hard that that will kind of always be

255
00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:26,920
Speaker 3: in the back of your mind, especially when thinking about

256
00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:31,280
Speaker 3: it from the Dynasty perspective. But Hunter Green was very

257
00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:33,600
Speaker 3: good last year, went healthy in the same way, he

258
00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:35,760
Speaker 3: was very good. If you look at his twenty twenty

259
00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:37,720
Speaker 3: four sets. In fact, it was better than his twenty

260
00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:40,600
Speaker 3: twenty four stats. When he was actually pitching, his ERA

261
00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:42,840
Speaker 3: was almost identical two seventy five, the year before two

262
00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:46,880
Speaker 3: seventy six. Last year, expected era was almost identical as well.

263
00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:51,280
Speaker 3: Just over three his FIP was better by about two

264
00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:54,480
Speaker 3: tenths of a run, and his expected FIP just looking

265
00:11:54,679 --> 00:11:58,680
Speaker 3: on fangrafts better by almost a full run. He's just

266
00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:00,880
Speaker 3: a very very good pitcher. I think it's notable that

267
00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:03,880
Speaker 3: his home run to fly ball rate actually almost doubled

268
00:12:04,040 --> 00:12:06,320
Speaker 3: from twenty twenty four to twenty twenty five, and it didn't,

269
00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:08,760
Speaker 3: you know, have a large impact on the runs he

270
00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:11,400
Speaker 3: was allowing. It was still the same era, so maybe

271
00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:13,199
Speaker 3: a little bit of flukiness there. It was a pretty

272
00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:15,040
Speaker 3: low number in twenty twenty four. Out he could expect

273
00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:17,439
Speaker 3: going forward his home run rate to be closer to

274
00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:19,319
Speaker 3: what it was in twenty twenty five, honestly, But the

275
00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:21,480
Speaker 3: point is it didn't matter. He didn't need that fluky

276
00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:24,240
Speaker 3: low rate to not be allowing lots of runs, strikes

277
00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:26,280
Speaker 3: out a lot of batters. Really good picture, and he's

278
00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:29,280
Speaker 3: ranked ouside the top fifty, and I recognize that there's

279
00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:32,520
Speaker 3: always going to be a durability concern with him, and

280
00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:35,120
Speaker 3: just with all pictures in general from a dynasty perspective.

281
00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:38,320
Speaker 3: But dude is going into his twenty sixth age, twenty

282
00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:41,640
Speaker 3: sixth season is really really good. I'm hoping he's healthy

283
00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:43,719
Speaker 3: and he can get him for rank just outside the

284
00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:44,280
Speaker 3: top fifty.

285
00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:46,880
Speaker 2: I'm in on that, yeah, And that's something I would

286
00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:47,280
Speaker 2: note too.

287
00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:50,120
Speaker 1: Maybe the most important aspects that are attached to his

288
00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:54,640
Speaker 1: health here are his vel increases. His forcing fastball went

289
00:12:54,679 --> 00:12:58,000
Speaker 1: from ninety seven point six the prior year to ninety

290
00:12:58,120 --> 00:12:59,880
Speaker 1: nine point five. That is a two mile pro how

291
00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:03,480
Speaker 1: increase on his four seen fastball, even though he didn't

292
00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:05,480
Speaker 1: have like a big whiff increase on it, But that

293
00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:08,440
Speaker 1: came with his slider. His slider was eighty six point

294
00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:11,760
Speaker 1: eight the year prior eighty nine point seven, so that

295
00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:14,360
Speaker 1: is a three mile prior increase. That also saw a

296
00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:19,600
Speaker 1: seven percent with increase and hitters only had a batting

297
00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:21,560
Speaker 1: average of one to fifty six against it. And then

298
00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:25,160
Speaker 1: he also upticked his split finger, which he started adding

299
00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:28,080
Speaker 1: I believe the year prior he started throwing that in

300
00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:30,439
Speaker 1: a little bit more so, it's a true three pitch arsenal.

301
00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:33,200
Speaker 1: There's just some injury issues and not favorable ballpark. But

302
00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:35,440
Speaker 1: he is still young and like the prime might still

303
00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:37,240
Speaker 1: be in front of him coming in.

304
00:13:37,240 --> 00:13:39,480
Speaker 3: At he did I want to just quickly ask you,

305
00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:42,839
Speaker 3: welsh On on Green there was a big not a big,

306
00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:44,400
Speaker 3: but there was a change in his walk rate. It

307
00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:46,360
Speaker 3: was he was nine percent range each of his first

308
00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:48,440
Speaker 3: three seasons and then down to six percent last year.

309
00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:50,000
Speaker 3: Do you think that's something that is going to We're

310
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:51,240
Speaker 3: going to look back on his fluky or do you

311
00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:53,160
Speaker 3: think that is sustainable for him? Because I do think

312
00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:53,960
Speaker 3: that helped him a lot.

313
00:13:55,320 --> 00:13:57,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that's sustainable. I mean, but also like

314
00:13:58,000 --> 00:13:59,840
Speaker 1: we'll know. I think we'll know pretty early on if

315
00:13:59,840 --> 00:14:02,520
Speaker 1: that walk rate jumps over, you know, nine to ten

316
00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:05,640
Speaker 1: percent and he's less effective with the slider. I think

317
00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:10,520
Speaker 1: him throwing harder, and I mean really like the fastball

318
00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:11,839
Speaker 1: is going to be a big key to it is

319
00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:13,960
Speaker 1: if he is going to be able to have that

320
00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:16,240
Speaker 1: level of fastball that he had, he's going to find

321
00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:18,520
Speaker 1: success with his other pitches. He had a twenty run

322
00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:20,400
Speaker 1: value on his fastball that might be one of the

323
00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:24,520
Speaker 1: highest in all of baseball. So that's an incredibly intensely

324
00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:26,920
Speaker 1: good number, so coming in at number two for me,

325
00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:30,160
Speaker 1: this is a big named young player. And this is

326
00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:32,120
Speaker 1: kind of like in the Elle range, and I'm going

327
00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:36,040
Speaker 1: to start ticking down in my valuations of players, but

328
00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:38,680
Speaker 1: I just want to continuously hit this one home. This

329
00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:42,680
Speaker 1: is a player that comes in around the second round

330
00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:47,360
Speaker 1: of Dynasty, and it is Roman Anthony. Roman Anthony anywhere

331
00:14:47,400 --> 00:14:50,520
Speaker 1: between fifteen and twenty five. I think on most Dynasty

332
00:14:50,760 --> 00:14:55,640
Speaker 1: valuations and a new refresh like Dynasty Draft, I think

333
00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:58,640
Speaker 1: drafting him in the second round has immensely great value.

334
00:14:58,960 --> 00:15:01,640
Speaker 1: But my big and I've been on this for like

335
00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:04,840
Speaker 1: eight months, when I look at Roman Anthony, I see

336
00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:08,920
Speaker 1: a profile that is absolutely representative of what we got

337
00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:12,400
Speaker 1: out of Nick Kurtz. But Nick Kurtz had the big

338
00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:15,400
Speaker 1: counting stats obviously, thirty plus homers and all that. A

339
00:15:15,520 --> 00:15:18,320
Speaker 1: little concerning k percentage, but everything was great. You look

340
00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:22,920
Speaker 1: at Roman Anthony. He didn't qualify, but his percentiles, his

341
00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:25,040
Speaker 1: hard hit percentage would be one of the hardest in

342
00:15:25,040 --> 00:15:26,440
Speaker 1: the league. And by the way, this isn't a guy

343
00:15:26,480 --> 00:15:27,280
Speaker 1: that just had like.

344
00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:29,040
Speaker 2: You know, forty eight bats.

345
00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:30,600
Speaker 1: He had two hundred and fifty seven at bats in

346
00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:33,320
Speaker 1: the majors, had a sixty percent hard hit rate, a

347
00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:36,400
Speaker 1: fifteen percent fifteen and a half percent barrel rate. Those

348
00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:38,960
Speaker 1: are elite of elite, and remember what I talked about before,

349
00:15:38,960 --> 00:15:41,520
Speaker 1: you're looking for those connections. Add that with one of

350
00:15:41,560 --> 00:15:45,480
Speaker 1: the fastest bats in baseball run seventy five miles per hour,

351
00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:48,239
Speaker 1: a little over seventy five miles per hour, which is fantastic.

352
00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:50,840
Speaker 1: He doesn't get the ball in the air a ton

353
00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:53,800
Speaker 1: right now, but he hits it incredibly hard. He's got

354
00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:57,000
Speaker 1: a batting average it's pretty supportive, a not great k

355
00:15:57,040 --> 00:15:59,920
Speaker 1: percentage at twenty seven percent, but he's pairing that with

356
00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:03,040
Speaker 1: thirteen percent walk rate. These are better than Nick Kurtz.

357
00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:05,760
Speaker 1: My main point to this is I think Roman Anthony

358
00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:08,520
Speaker 1: is just a step away from being what Nick Kurtz

359
00:16:08,600 --> 00:16:10,440
Speaker 1: is right now, and you're getting a round value out

360
00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:12,000
Speaker 1: of him. I think he's one of the next big

361
00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:15,800
Speaker 1: premium young superstars. He's twenty one years old. He's hitting

362
00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:17,760
Speaker 1: at the top of the Red Sox lineup wherever that's

363
00:16:17,800 --> 00:16:21,280
Speaker 1: going to be, and I think maybe not in all instances.

364
00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:22,760
Speaker 1: I just want everyone to be aware of that. In

365
00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:26,560
Speaker 1: some instances, because of the lack of counting stats, Roman

366
00:16:26,560 --> 00:16:29,360
Speaker 1: Anthony's value might not be equated to where it should be.

367
00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:30,920
Speaker 1: There are some people that are going to be on

368
00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:32,120
Speaker 1: it and they're going to know it, and they're gonna

369
00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:34,200
Speaker 1: be like, Nope, Roman Anthony's a first round value. But

370
00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:36,160
Speaker 1: if you're talking in the trademarket, I would love to

371
00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:38,640
Speaker 1: get some Roman Anthony because I think you can sell

372
00:16:38,680 --> 00:16:40,560
Speaker 1: a little bit of what the red Sox are and

373
00:16:40,560 --> 00:16:43,360
Speaker 1: what his counting stats were not. But the underlying profile

374
00:16:43,480 --> 00:16:46,480
Speaker 1: is there is an elite, elite player that really shouldn't

375
00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:48,480
Speaker 1: have a major gap between him and Nick Kurts. So

376
00:16:48,520 --> 00:16:50,800
Speaker 1: I just I love Roman Anthony. He's definitely a dynasty

377
00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:52,080
Speaker 1: target in whatever capacity.

378
00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:56,160
Speaker 3: I think it totally agreed a great call, very very

379
00:16:56,200 --> 00:16:59,240
Speaker 3: high expectations for Anthony moving forward. For me, like even

380
00:16:59,280 --> 00:17:02,200
Speaker 3: if if he he had been worse this last year,

381
00:17:02,320 --> 00:17:04,600
Speaker 3: I would still be interested by him, just like that.

382
00:17:04,760 --> 00:17:06,919
Speaker 3: When you have that kind of pedigree, I'm always going

383
00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:09,080
Speaker 3: to be interested in that, you know, going into year

384
00:17:09,119 --> 00:17:13,080
Speaker 3: two after getting through that kind of initial adjustment period.

385
00:17:13,080 --> 00:17:14,840
Speaker 3: Mayor and I talked in the cycle a lot about

386
00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:17,680
Speaker 3: just like how consistent it is that these top prospects

387
00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:20,119
Speaker 3: need their adjustment periods when they first get up to

388
00:17:20,119 --> 00:17:22,760
Speaker 3: the big leagues these days, and if anybody is at

389
00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:26,920
Speaker 3: all anchored to his slow start, like in June, take

390
00:17:26,960 --> 00:17:29,640
Speaker 3: advantage of that. And if they're not there, doesn't hurt

391
00:17:29,680 --> 00:17:32,240
Speaker 3: to try. But like I agree that it's a great target.

392
00:17:32,359 --> 00:17:34,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, and by the way, he had two ten in June.

393
00:17:34,320 --> 00:17:37,040
Speaker 1: He proceeded to hit over three hundred yeah, three months

394
00:17:37,040 --> 00:17:39,520
Speaker 1: of the season while also hitting lefties and righty right

395
00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:42,360
Speaker 1: He's and lefties fantastic, like two seventy.

396
00:17:42,040 --> 00:17:43,560
Speaker 2: Eight or more. It's really great.

397
00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:46,440

421
00:18:39,560 --> 00:18:42,320
Speaker 1: All right, number three on the list. You have a

422
00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:44,960
Speaker 1: very polarizing player. This is an anti Joe piece of

423
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:47,120
Speaker 1: pia player that's going to come up, and then it's

424
00:18:47,160 --> 00:18:49,320
Speaker 1: going to be followed by one of the most attached

425
00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:53,159
Speaker 1: to me Welsh players from last season. But sell us

426
00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:55,119
Speaker 1: and I'm going to give it away. Sell us on

427
00:18:55,280 --> 00:18:58,239
Speaker 1: Michael Harris as your as number three, at least from

428
00:18:58,280 --> 00:19:00,720
Speaker 1: the valuation standpoint of your dynas ste targets.

429
00:19:01,080 --> 00:19:03,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, this was the one that I was expecting some

430
00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:06,679
Speaker 3: real pushback on. Here. Sall be curious to see what

431
00:19:06,680 --> 00:19:08,560
Speaker 3: well folks in the comments think of this in addition

432
00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:10,639
Speaker 3: to what you think. The thing with Harris for me

433
00:19:10,760 --> 00:19:12,760
Speaker 3: is like, this is somebody that was going, you know,

434
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:16,960
Speaker 3: as an earliest round pick last year. He is twenty

435
00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:20,160
Speaker 3: four years old. He had stretches where he looked kind

436
00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:22,200
Speaker 3: of like the guy that we saw when he first

437
00:19:22,240 --> 00:19:26,040
Speaker 3: came into Major League baseball, particularly in July and August.

438
00:19:26,119 --> 00:19:30,600
Speaker 3: He was really really good this last season, and I

439
00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:34,520
Speaker 3: want to invest in players who are still young, who

440
00:19:34,520 --> 00:19:38,520
Speaker 3: have shown flashes of being really productive in fantasy, who

441
00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:41,040
Speaker 3: are ranked outside the top one hundred. He's one hundred

442
00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:45,080
Speaker 3: and tenth in the early consensus you know, dynasty rankings here,

443
00:19:45,560 --> 00:19:48,240
Speaker 3: and being outside the top one hundred, I am just

444
00:19:48,359 --> 00:19:50,399
Speaker 3: very in on him. Again. The second half of the

445
00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:52,639
Speaker 3: year was definitely, definitely better than it was in the first,

446
00:19:52,640 --> 00:19:55,680
Speaker 3: particularly in July and August. In July he hit three

447
00:19:55,720 --> 00:19:59,399
Speaker 3: oh one, his OPS was eight fifty. In August it

448
00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:01,280
Speaker 3: was even better. He hit three eleven, his OPS was

449
00:20:01,320 --> 00:20:04,320
Speaker 3: eight eighty five. He had eight home runs in August.

450
00:20:04,920 --> 00:20:08,040
Speaker 3: It would not surprise me if we get to the

451
00:20:08,160 --> 00:20:11,239
Speaker 3: end of this season and we say, hey, some of

452
00:20:11,280 --> 00:20:14,679
Speaker 3: these struggles that Harris had were a guy who was

453
00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:18,080
Speaker 3: twenty two, twenty three years old figuring it out. We

454
00:20:18,119 --> 00:20:20,040
Speaker 3: know he kind of came in a hot to start

455
00:20:20,080 --> 00:20:23,439
Speaker 3: his big league career, you know, having nineteen home runs

456
00:20:23,480 --> 00:20:26,240
Speaker 3: and twenty solen bases back in twenty twenty two, he

457
00:20:26,280 --> 00:20:28,800
Speaker 3: was twenty one years old. I think it's reasonable that

458
00:20:28,840 --> 00:20:30,760
Speaker 3: he might have had some ups and downs in the

459
00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:34,040
Speaker 3: years since then. He has had exactly twenty stolen bases

460
00:20:34,160 --> 00:20:36,760
Speaker 3: in three of his four seasons in Major League Baseball.

461
00:20:36,800 --> 00:20:39,720
Speaker 3: He's had between sixteen and twenty home runs in those

462
00:20:39,760 --> 00:20:42,320
Speaker 3: four seasons. So there's a level of consistency in terms

463
00:20:42,359 --> 00:20:44,000
Speaker 3: of the power speed that I think there is still

464
00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:47,280
Speaker 3: upside for given that he is only twenty was, you know,

465
00:20:47,280 --> 00:20:50,160
Speaker 3: twenty four years old. This past season, we've seen him

466
00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:52,919
Speaker 3: hit nearly three hundred twice. I know it was the

467
00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:55,000
Speaker 3: worst average that we saw this last year, but it

468
00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:57,000
Speaker 3: was a really, really slow start to the year that

469
00:20:57,119 --> 00:21:00,199
Speaker 3: kind of dragged him down throughout that second half. So

470
00:21:00,880 --> 00:21:03,320
Speaker 3: it's less that hey, I found this one stat and

471
00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:06,000
Speaker 3: it's why I'm buying, and you should be too, And

472
00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:08,399
Speaker 3: it's more, this is a guy that I am willing

473
00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:10,880
Speaker 3: to bet on at the cost that it's going to take.

474
00:21:11,119 --> 00:21:13,200
Speaker 3: And I think that there is a real ceiling there,

475
00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:15,240
Speaker 3: maybe not a he's ever going to be a first

476
00:21:15,280 --> 00:21:18,439
Speaker 3: round pick type of ceiling, but a getting value for

477
00:21:18,440 --> 00:21:19,959
Speaker 3: where he's ranked type of a ceiling.

478
00:21:20,320 --> 00:21:22,119
Speaker 1: Yeah, they could almost have a theme that's going to

479
00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:23,879
Speaker 1: go on because I think like my next two players

480
00:21:23,880 --> 00:21:25,320
Speaker 1: are going to come up or kind of like I

481
00:21:25,480 --> 00:21:27,719
Speaker 1: just love the valuation of it. And I'm gonna say you,

482
00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:29,360
Speaker 1: I'm actually with you on this one because I think

483
00:21:29,400 --> 00:21:33,040
Speaker 1: Michael Harris's value is so low because he has not

484
00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:36,560
Speaker 1: had a season where it's like he's beating the expectations.

485
00:21:36,560 --> 00:21:39,000
Speaker 1: We've had continuous years of like, oh, look what he did?

486
00:21:39,040 --> 00:21:40,439
Speaker 1: Could we do but nope, and then it kind of

487
00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:43,320
Speaker 1: falls apart. So I think there's a there's a fatigue

488
00:21:43,320 --> 00:21:45,840
Speaker 1: factor that's going on. What I'll say about Michael Harris,

489
00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:48,480
Speaker 1: I'm impressed that he was statistically still able to have

490
00:21:48,560 --> 00:21:50,480
Speaker 1: this great year while kind of struggling. I mean, he

491
00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:53,800
Speaker 1: had a twenty twenty season while having his worst batting

492
00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:56,720
Speaker 1: average year. But it can't be understated. Like you mentioned,

493
00:21:57,000 --> 00:21:59,560
Speaker 1: of how bad the first and second half splits are.

494
00:21:59,640 --> 00:22:01,480
Speaker 2: He hit two ten in.

495
00:22:01,480 --> 00:22:05,040
Speaker 1: The first half pre All Star Break, one fifty eight,

496
00:22:05,080 --> 00:22:07,760
Speaker 1: two forty seven, two forty five, and one forty eight

497
00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:11,800
Speaker 1: through June horrifically bad. Then a monstrous comeback in the

498
00:22:11,880 --> 00:22:15,320
Speaker 1: second half, hitting two ninety nine, hitting three hundred both

499
00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:19,200
Speaker 1: June and August. Unfortunately it kind of fell apart in September,

500
00:22:19,280 --> 00:22:22,040
Speaker 1: but the power numbers really jumped up in the second

501
00:22:22,119 --> 00:22:25,159
Speaker 1: half as well, and the expected home run totals if

502
00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:28,440
Speaker 1: you look at Baseball Savant actually giving him almost two

503
00:22:28,520 --> 00:22:31,639
Speaker 1: more homers than he hit. I'd also say, uh, the

504
00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:35,639
Speaker 1: contact percentage went way up according to Baseball Savant, eighty

505
00:22:35,680 --> 00:22:38,840
Speaker 1: one point six percent zone contact percentage in twenty twenty

506
00:22:38,840 --> 00:22:42,520
Speaker 1: four eighty eight point two this past season. Heavily infect

507
00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:46,280
Speaker 1: affected by the second half. And I don't know if

508
00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:48,040
Speaker 1: this is going to be a trend. Sometimes when you

509
00:22:48,080 --> 00:22:51,080
Speaker 1: look at like actual numbers versus expected numbers, you could

510
00:22:51,080 --> 00:22:53,440
Speaker 1: do it with Babbit two. They're just players that underperform.

511
00:22:53,480 --> 00:22:56,280
Speaker 1: Like if you see a guy's batting average is this,

512
00:22:56,640 --> 00:22:58,680
Speaker 1: and they're expected as this, but it does that every

513
00:22:58,720 --> 00:23:01,200
Speaker 1: single year. He's just additionally going to be a player

514
00:23:01,200 --> 00:23:05,399
Speaker 1: that underperforms and saying this because last year hit two

515
00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:09,879
Speaker 1: fifty seven against fastballs two ninety eight expected against fastballs.

516
00:23:10,080 --> 00:23:12,159
Speaker 1: It was almost the same as this past year. So

517
00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:16,399
Speaker 1: there is this underperforming factor of him seeing fastballs.

518
00:23:15,880 --> 00:23:17,920
Speaker 2: That he that he's continuously doing.

519
00:23:17,960 --> 00:23:19,600
Speaker 1: But he's starting to hit the ball a little bit

520
00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:22,240
Speaker 1: harder and the secondaries are all. He actually has a

521
00:23:22,240 --> 00:23:24,680
Speaker 1: two to fifty expected bating average against every single pitch

522
00:23:24,720 --> 00:23:27,480
Speaker 1: type or better. So I think he's like a solid hitter.

523
00:23:27,600 --> 00:23:29,639
Speaker 1: I think the value is really good. So I'm with

524
00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:31,720
Speaker 1: you on Michael Harris, even though he's not like a

525
00:23:32,240 --> 00:23:35,640
Speaker 1: super popular name now super popular name. Last year, someone

526
00:23:35,680 --> 00:23:40,480
Speaker 1: I really really liked was Spencer Schwellenbach. Obviously, injury took

527
00:23:40,560 --> 00:23:43,320
Speaker 1: him out for the season. Before he ended up getting hurt,

528
00:23:43,359 --> 00:23:46,240
Speaker 1: he did have seventeen starts under his belt, one hundred

529
00:23:46,280 --> 00:23:49,200
Speaker 1: and ten innings, had a sub one whip, but the

530
00:23:49,280 --> 00:23:50,800
Speaker 1: K percentage.

531
00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:51,760
Speaker 2: Kind of took a little bit of a downtick.

532
00:23:51,880 --> 00:23:54,120
Speaker 1: He went from twenty five point four down to twenty

533
00:23:54,200 --> 00:23:56,119
Speaker 1: four point nine.

534
00:23:56,400 --> 00:23:59,080
Speaker 2: But at the end of the day, like who.

535
00:23:58,960 --> 00:24:01,480
Speaker 1: Spencer Schwellenbach was and why we were buying on him,

536
00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:04,200
Speaker 1: was still in play super low walk guy, only four

537
00:24:04,240 --> 00:24:07,520
Speaker 1: point one percent walk percentage. His RA was good, his

538
00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:12,560
Speaker 1: expected era numbers looked really solid. His his slider was

539
00:24:12,560 --> 00:24:15,560
Speaker 1: getting hit like a tiny bit up, but everything else

540
00:24:15,680 --> 00:24:18,479
Speaker 1: low batting averages against is actually under two point fifty

541
00:24:18,480 --> 00:24:19,160
Speaker 1: on every.

542
00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:20,600
Speaker 2: Pitch type that he throws. And by the way, he

543
00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:21,480
Speaker 2: threw six.

544
00:24:21,320 --> 00:24:24,680
Speaker 1: Different pitches ten percent or more of the time, high

545
00:24:24,760 --> 00:24:29,000
Speaker 1: with percentages on his top three usage pitches. And he

546
00:24:29,160 --> 00:24:31,680
Speaker 1: just think the injury took him out. We saw velo

547
00:24:31,920 --> 00:24:33,120
Speaker 1: increases last year.

548
00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:34,360
Speaker 2: My biggest worry would be.

549
00:24:34,359 --> 00:24:37,440
Speaker 1: That he doesn't have that stuff coming off of an injury.

550
00:24:37,800 --> 00:24:41,200
Speaker 1: But I think he's a phenomenal price because of the

551
00:24:41,320 --> 00:24:44,040
Speaker 1: last year or the lost half part of the season.

552
00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:46,600
Speaker 1: This is a guy that's like an easy top ten

553
00:24:46,880 --> 00:24:49,040
Speaker 1: dynasty sp and I think he might have moved out

554
00:24:49,040 --> 00:24:51,399
Speaker 1: of that market. So I'm really on a buyback of

555
00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:53,879
Speaker 1: Spencer Schwellenbach to recoup. I don't know if you have

556
00:24:53,920 --> 00:24:55,080
Speaker 1: any feelings on him, though.

557
00:24:55,440 --> 00:24:57,480
Speaker 3: Not strong feelings. I agree with the call. I was

558
00:24:57,480 --> 00:25:01,560
Speaker 3: going to ask you what kin ceiling you would have

559
00:25:01,600 --> 00:25:05,400
Speaker 3: on Schwellenbach, like if like best case scenario, like this

560
00:25:05,480 --> 00:25:07,960
Speaker 3: thing goes, you know fully healthy as well as we

561
00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:10,879
Speaker 3: can hope for next year. Do you think there's like

562
00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:15,400
Speaker 3: a SP two SP three type of finish like in

563
00:25:15,520 --> 00:25:19,040
Speaker 3: the cards for him that like overall yeah yeah, second

564
00:25:19,040 --> 00:25:21,680
Speaker 3: picture yeah yeah, yeah, overall? Or do you think it's

565
00:25:21,720 --> 00:25:24,000
Speaker 3: more like I think this guy's going to consistently be

566
00:25:24,440 --> 00:25:26,560
Speaker 3: in the back half of the top ten and he's

567
00:25:26,560 --> 00:25:28,160
Speaker 3: a value at that rating right now.

568
00:25:28,720 --> 00:25:29,879
Speaker 2: It might be a little bit more of that.

569
00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:32,679
Speaker 1: I think Brian Wu is a prime example of it.

570
00:25:32,720 --> 00:25:34,760
Speaker 1: Brian Wu was like, hey, look at these really, you know,

571
00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:38,840
Speaker 1: Goodie low walks twenty one percent K percentage, But if

572
00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:41,359
Speaker 1: he can be a little bit more aggressive and then

573
00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:42,959
Speaker 1: he can add K percentage, Well, this year I think

574
00:25:42,960 --> 00:25:44,800
Speaker 1: it was like twenty seven percent. That's the same thing

575
00:25:44,840 --> 00:25:47,960
Speaker 1: I think can happen. We saw a whiff increase for

576
00:25:48,119 --> 00:25:52,119
Speaker 1: Schwellenbach on his for seam, his slider, and his split finger.

577
00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:56,000
Speaker 1: His top three pitches that he uses all had increase.

578
00:25:56,280 --> 00:25:58,400
Speaker 1: I guess his split finger he used more this year,

579
00:25:58,440 --> 00:25:59,880
Speaker 1: So that's kind of a lie. It's about the same

580
00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:03,600
Speaker 1: in the forties, but you saw with increases and maybe

581
00:26:03,600 --> 00:26:07,119
Speaker 1: the point of that is he started using his split

582
00:26:07,160 --> 00:26:10,280
Speaker 1: finger as the third most used pitch, which was the

583
00:26:10,400 --> 00:26:12,720
Speaker 1: number one with pitch. So my point is is like,

584
00:26:12,840 --> 00:26:16,000
Speaker 1: you've got a guy that has incredible command, runs low

585
00:26:16,040 --> 00:26:20,280
Speaker 1: eras runs low, whips, doesn't walk players, and he's got

586
00:26:20,320 --> 00:26:22,639
Speaker 1: pitches that are increasing that K percentage.

587
00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:23,479
Speaker 2: So what's the upside?

588
00:26:23,520 --> 00:26:25,399
Speaker 1: I think the upside is like where Brian Wu like

589
00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:28,680
Speaker 1: twenty seven to twenty eight percent k really low walks

590
00:26:28,720 --> 00:26:29,960
Speaker 1: on a team that's going to have a lot of

591
00:26:30,040 --> 00:26:33,119
Speaker 1: run support two Braves players were picking. I think the

592
00:26:33,200 --> 00:26:38,040
Speaker 1: upside though, is like can he beat Crochet, Scooble and Skins. Nah,

593
00:26:38,119 --> 00:26:39,919
Speaker 1: now you can't do that, But can he be like

594
00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:42,520
Speaker 1: what we wanted George Kirby to be? Can he be

595
00:26:42,640 --> 00:26:44,480
Speaker 1: like where Brian Wu is going? I think he can,

596
00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:47,600
Speaker 1: and I just don't think he's got that hyper that excitement.

597
00:26:47,680 --> 00:26:51,520
Speaker 1: That's what is kind of most fascinating. You picked speaking fascinating,

598
00:26:51,560 --> 00:26:55,320
Speaker 1: you picked a super super crazy one, no power all

599
00:26:55,400 --> 00:26:59,600
Speaker 1: speed number four on your list. Is this outfielder that

600
00:26:59,680 --> 00:27:01,000
Speaker 1: a lot of people is. I think it would be

601
00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:04,399
Speaker 1: polarizing in drafts, in redraft because you're drafting knowing that

602
00:27:04,440 --> 00:27:06,400
Speaker 1: you're taking an albatross in some spots.

603
00:27:07,119 --> 00:27:12,400
Speaker 3: I am just sort of philosophically comfortable with taking somebody

604
00:27:12,440 --> 00:27:15,600
Speaker 3: who is a zero in some categories if I know

605
00:27:15,680 --> 00:27:20,040
Speaker 3: that they are truly elite, not really good, not you know,

606
00:27:20,080 --> 00:27:24,359
Speaker 3: one of the best, truly elite difference maker in another category.

607
00:27:24,640 --> 00:27:27,960
Speaker 3: And I think Chandler Simpson is that. So the caveat

608
00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:30,320
Speaker 3: here is some people have, like you know, you might

609
00:27:30,359 --> 00:27:34,199
Speaker 3: be in like a dynasty points league where there's like

610
00:27:34,920 --> 00:27:37,919
Speaker 3: specific scoring settings where you just can't really afford to

611
00:27:37,920 --> 00:27:41,040
Speaker 3: have somebody who has no power. So the caveat is,

612
00:27:41,040 --> 00:27:43,480
Speaker 3: if you're in that type of league, obviously, don't you know,

613
00:27:43,560 --> 00:27:45,679
Speaker 3: go out and aggressively get Chandler Simpsons. I recognize that

614
00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:48,560
Speaker 3: there are leagues where this will not work. But if

615
00:27:48,600 --> 00:27:51,680
Speaker 3: you have a team where you are capable of handling

616
00:27:51,880 --> 00:27:54,520
Speaker 3: or scoring setting where you're capable of handling getting a

617
00:27:54,560 --> 00:27:58,520
Speaker 3: complete like literally a zero in a category like home runs,

618
00:27:59,080 --> 00:28:01,679
Speaker 3: I think he can steel Like I think fifty stolen

619
00:28:01,680 --> 00:28:05,159
Speaker 3: bases in a full season is likely for him. I

620
00:28:05,200 --> 00:28:07,640
Speaker 3: think it's possible to aim even higher. I don't see

621
00:28:07,640 --> 00:28:10,520
Speaker 3: why he couldn't get eighty if the Rays let him

622
00:28:10,840 --> 00:28:13,320
Speaker 3: an It's not like that's his only category because he

623
00:28:13,400 --> 00:28:15,159
Speaker 3: hits for a high batting average. He goes into the

624
00:28:15,200 --> 00:28:18,159
Speaker 3: ball very hard, but he was pretty consistent like months

625
00:28:18,160 --> 00:28:21,280
Speaker 3: to month looking through last season. Obviously, these are somewhat

626
00:28:21,359 --> 00:28:23,520
Speaker 3: smaller played appearance numbers because he wasn't in the big

627
00:28:23,600 --> 00:28:25,600
Speaker 3: leagues the whole season, But you know, batting average by

628
00:28:25,640 --> 00:28:28,120
Speaker 3: month three hundred and two, seventy seven, three eighteen three ten,

629
00:28:28,160 --> 00:28:30,480
Speaker 3: two seventy seven three zho eight. It wasn't like he

630
00:28:30,600 --> 00:28:34,200
Speaker 3: was carried by a particularly hot month. It was consistently

631
00:28:34,240 --> 00:28:38,680
Speaker 3: a good batting average. I would I'm hopeful that we'll

632
00:28:38,680 --> 00:28:40,840
Speaker 3: see as he gets kind of more used to big

633
00:28:40,920 --> 00:28:44,320
Speaker 3: league pitching that maybe the batting numbers actually get even better.

634
00:28:44,440 --> 00:28:45,920
Speaker 3: And the more he gets on base, of course, the

635
00:28:45,920 --> 00:28:47,480
Speaker 3: more he can do what you really have before, which

636
00:28:47,520 --> 00:28:50,360
Speaker 3: is the steals, and hopefully maybe score some more runs

637
00:28:50,360 --> 00:28:52,400
Speaker 3: as well. He scored fifty three runs last year, so

638
00:28:52,400 --> 00:28:54,240
Speaker 3: in a category format, I would hope that number would

639
00:28:54,240 --> 00:28:56,960
Speaker 3: go up too. But really, what this is I am

640
00:28:57,000 --> 00:29:00,680
Speaker 3: somebody who likes going after these meg get elite in

641
00:29:00,720 --> 00:29:03,200
Speaker 3: a specific category. As long as they are at zeros

642
00:29:03,200 --> 00:29:05,360
Speaker 3: everywhere else they can be zero at least one other place.

643
00:29:05,520 --> 00:29:07,960
Speaker 3: He has a zero in power. I don't he's he's

644
00:29:07,960 --> 00:29:10,000
Speaker 3: obviously not a zero in something like batting average. I

645
00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:13,000
Speaker 3: think he can score more runs, and he can. I'd

646
00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:15,880
Speaker 3: be surprised if he didn't lead the league in stolen bases, frankly,

647
00:29:16,040 --> 00:29:17,440
Speaker 3: And this is the guy who's ranked outside the top

648
00:29:17,480 --> 00:29:20,200
Speaker 3: one thirty. So I get that. The last two in

649
00:29:20,240 --> 00:29:23,040
Speaker 3: particular of Michael Harris and then Jadler Simpson is like

650
00:29:23,920 --> 00:29:27,560
Speaker 3: gonna maybe raise some eyebras here. But these are the

651
00:29:27,560 --> 00:29:28,880
Speaker 3: types of players that I like going after.

652
00:29:29,280 --> 00:29:31,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think he's interesting. He's a three category player.

653
00:29:31,680 --> 00:29:33,280
Speaker 1: You know, you're hoping that he can be more of

654
00:29:33,320 --> 00:29:35,680
Speaker 1: an elite runs guy. He's a great batting average, great

655
00:29:35,680 --> 00:29:36,360
Speaker 1: stolen based guy.

656
00:29:36,360 --> 00:29:37,000
Speaker 2: I completely agree.

657
00:29:37,040 --> 00:29:40,080
Speaker 1: I think he's a league leading stolen based player because

658
00:29:40,520 --> 00:29:44,040
Speaker 1: high batting average, it's supported by his expected numbers, does

659
00:29:44,080 --> 00:29:47,480
Speaker 1: not strike also, does not strike out, does not whiff.

660
00:29:47,720 --> 00:29:49,240
Speaker 1: You'd love to see him get on base a little

661
00:29:49,280 --> 00:29:50,920
Speaker 1: bit more with his walks. He only had a round

662
00:29:50,920 --> 00:29:53,400
Speaker 1: a four percent walk rate, but if you saw an

663
00:29:53,400 --> 00:29:55,520
Speaker 1: increase to like if he could double that to eight percent,

664
00:29:55,640 --> 00:29:57,200
Speaker 1: keep his batting average, or they could be a high

665
00:29:57,280 --> 00:30:00,840
Speaker 1: end three category players. It's a little bit more nuanced,

666
00:30:00,840 --> 00:30:02,920
Speaker 1: but if you want to win stolen bases every single week.

667
00:30:03,120 --> 00:30:04,640
Speaker 1: And I have said this for a couple of years.

668
00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:08,920
Speaker 1: I think batting average is the most forgot in draft

669
00:30:09,880 --> 00:30:12,480
Speaker 1: statistical category over the last couple of years. Where it

670
00:30:12,560 --> 00:30:13,960
Speaker 1: used to kind of be this thing where people are like,

671
00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:16,400
Speaker 1: could you even punt it in rodo? Now it's to

672
00:30:16,440 --> 00:30:17,800
Speaker 1: the point where it's like I just don't think enough

673
00:30:17,800 --> 00:30:20,240
Speaker 1: attention and it's it's something you can capture, is my

674
00:30:20,280 --> 00:30:22,400
Speaker 1: main point. It's like batting average is something you can capture,

675
00:30:22,400 --> 00:30:24,280
Speaker 1: whether it's a head to head or a roto format

676
00:30:24,360 --> 00:30:28,040
Speaker 1: in Chanlier Simpson helps you. Another Florida outfielder is my pick.

677
00:30:28,520 --> 00:30:30,960
Speaker 1: I love me some Kyle Stowers.

678
00:30:31,280 --> 00:30:31,800
Speaker 2: Kyle Stout.

679
00:30:32,040 --> 00:30:35,280
Speaker 1: You know Kyle Stowers very well is a traded Baltimore

680
00:30:35,320 --> 00:30:39,240
Speaker 1: Orioles prospect over to the Marlins this past year. An

681
00:30:39,280 --> 00:30:43,000
Speaker 1: absolutely beautiful hitting profile. He's got some k problems. He

682
00:30:43,080 --> 00:30:44,880
Speaker 1: struck out twenty seven percent of the time. He's got

683
00:30:44,880 --> 00:30:48,520
Speaker 1: some whift problems. But if you want the combinations, you're

684
00:30:48,560 --> 00:30:50,760
Speaker 1: going to see me a lot Like give me high barrel,

685
00:30:50,800 --> 00:30:52,400
Speaker 1: give me highet a hard hit, and then he puts

686
00:30:52,400 --> 00:30:52,960
Speaker 1: some bat speed.

687
00:30:53,040 --> 00:30:54,800
Speaker 2: He clicks all of those.

688
00:30:54,840 --> 00:30:56,400
Speaker 1: One of the best barrel rates in the league at

689
00:30:56,520 --> 00:31:00,840
Speaker 1: nineteen percent this past year. Batting average is pretty supported.

690
00:31:01,040 --> 00:31:03,480
Speaker 1: He hit two eighty eight with the two seventy, hit

691
00:31:03,560 --> 00:31:06,680
Speaker 1: twenty five homers in just under four hundred at bats,

692
00:31:06,840 --> 00:31:09,560
Speaker 1: chips in a couple stolen bases. I think you're looking

693
00:31:09,680 --> 00:31:13,440
Speaker 1: at a perennial thirty ten guy, if not just thirty homers.

694
00:31:13,560 --> 00:31:15,840
Speaker 1: He's going to chip in on the runs and RBI.

695
00:31:16,320 --> 00:31:18,360
Speaker 1: Marlins are trying to be a little bit more aggressive

696
00:31:18,360 --> 00:31:19,880
Speaker 1: in general, and I think he's in middle of the

697
00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:22,400
Speaker 1: order bat that I want out there really at every

698
00:31:22,440 --> 00:31:25,400
Speaker 1: single point. I just love the profile. He's also not

699
00:31:25,640 --> 00:31:29,320
Speaker 1: just like a fastball hitter. He kind of hit across

700
00:31:29,320 --> 00:31:31,760
Speaker 1: the board two ninety five against fastballs, two seventy three

701
00:31:31,800 --> 00:31:34,280
Speaker 1: against breaking pitches, and two eighty eight against off speed.

702
00:31:34,680 --> 00:31:36,680
Speaker 1: Love that pulls the ball in the air. Kyle Stowers,

703
00:31:36,960 --> 00:31:40,840
Speaker 1: that's my guy. I think his name value is just lower.

704
00:31:40,960 --> 00:31:42,640
Speaker 1: I think he's got upside to be a top fifty

705
00:31:42,720 --> 00:31:45,960
Speaker 1: Dynasty guy, and I think he's valued somewhere like outside

706
00:31:45,960 --> 00:31:48,160
Speaker 1: the top seventy five, maybe even top one hundred, just

707
00:31:48,160 --> 00:31:49,320
Speaker 1: because people haven't caught on.

708
00:31:49,440 --> 00:31:51,320
Speaker 2: So love me some Kyle Stowers.

709
00:31:51,600 --> 00:31:55,200
Speaker 3: Who do you think won that trade, because obviously, for

710
00:31:55,240 --> 00:31:58,160
Speaker 3: a while looked very obvious that it was the Marlins,

711
00:31:58,440 --> 00:31:59,560
Speaker 3: by the way, Kyle, I.

712
00:31:59,760 --> 00:32:00,520
Speaker 2: Remember what it was.

713
00:32:00,600 --> 00:32:04,120
Speaker 3: It was it was Stours and Connor Norby for and

714
00:32:04,200 --> 00:32:07,640
Speaker 3: so at first it's like, okay for Trevor Rodgers, right, yes,

715
00:32:07,800 --> 00:32:12,120
Speaker 3: who was not good early obviously but was like basically

716
00:32:12,160 --> 00:32:14,440
Speaker 3: looks like the al Cy Young the second half of

717
00:32:14,480 --> 00:32:17,640
Speaker 3: the season. Like, I mean, it's really interesting how that

718
00:32:17,680 --> 00:32:20,400
Speaker 3: trade is kind of shaped from when it happened, because

719
00:32:20,440 --> 00:32:22,640
Speaker 3: Stowars is a guy who I liked and a lot

720
00:32:22,640 --> 00:32:24,560
Speaker 3: of Orioles fans liked, but there was just clearly no

721
00:32:24,680 --> 00:32:27,959
Speaker 3: room for him in this crowded prospect pipeline in Baltimore,

722
00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:30,320
Speaker 3: Like it was very fair to trade him, even if

723
00:32:30,360 --> 00:32:32,440
Speaker 3: you liked him as a prospect. Now, he was better

724
00:32:32,520 --> 00:32:34,280
Speaker 3: last year than I expected him to be, but to

725
00:32:34,320 --> 00:32:37,560
Speaker 3: your point, like it happening in Miami, him not having

726
00:32:37,560 --> 00:32:39,840
Speaker 3: maybe the same level of prospect pedigree as and these

727
00:32:39,840 --> 00:32:42,040
Speaker 3: other guys. I do think that some of the name

728
00:32:42,160 --> 00:32:44,320
Speaker 3: value isn't quite there, but I think it's really fun.

729
00:32:44,360 --> 00:32:47,160
Speaker 3: I actually like consider talking about Rogers today. It ended

730
00:32:47,200 --> 00:32:49,280
Speaker 3: up not really being a fit for my list, but

731
00:32:50,200 --> 00:32:53,040
Speaker 3: he's really fascinating because he had such an insane second half.

732
00:32:53,080 --> 00:32:55,760
Speaker 3: So Stowers and Rogers both being in that trade, I

733
00:32:55,800 --> 00:32:57,000
Speaker 3: think it's kind of really interesting to look.

734
00:32:57,080 --> 00:32:58,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it makes it better. It's it's almost

735
00:32:58,920 --> 00:33:01,600
Speaker 1: like Gallon jazz Ish where it was like, oh, this

736
00:33:01,680 --> 00:33:03,760
Speaker 1: trade just works, or you know the diamond I mean,

737
00:33:03,800 --> 00:33:05,600
Speaker 1: I guess I'm talking Diamonbacks, you're talking Oriols, but the

738
00:33:05,640 --> 00:33:09,400
Speaker 1: Diamondbacks also did the like var show for Gabrielle Moreno Lorts,

739
00:33:09,440 --> 00:33:10,959
Speaker 1: and it's like, oh, these trades just kind of work out.

740
00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:13,160
Speaker 1: I think that's a workout for both sides trade because

741
00:33:13,200 --> 00:33:15,800
Speaker 1: Trevor Rodgers has popped back. But I'll take the Marlin

742
00:33:15,880 --> 00:33:18,080
Speaker 1: side because I think Connor Norby's pretty underrated. Yeah, well

743
00:33:18,080 --> 00:33:20,920
Speaker 1: I like Norby too, Yeah, and love Kyle Stowers all right,

744
00:33:21,520 --> 00:33:25,520
Speaker 1: Number five on the list, Big big pop this season

745
00:33:25,560 --> 00:33:28,440
Speaker 1: for this player, and in redraft he is being valued

746
00:33:28,440 --> 00:33:30,719
Speaker 1: by virtue of players that have been pushed off the position.

747
00:33:30,960 --> 00:33:33,520
Speaker 1: It's like the number two or three overall second baseman.

748
00:33:33,680 --> 00:33:36,360
Speaker 1: You're going with Bryce Terrang as a Dynasty target.

749
00:33:36,840 --> 00:33:39,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, And this is one where I mentioned at the

750
00:33:39,080 --> 00:33:41,080
Speaker 3: top of the show that I was really curious to

751
00:33:41,120 --> 00:33:44,320
Speaker 3: hear your opinion on some of my names to Michael,

752
00:33:44,360 --> 00:33:46,720
Speaker 3: Harris is one of those names, and Terrang is another

753
00:33:46,960 --> 00:33:50,760
Speaker 3: where you know, it's interesting because he's he's still pretty young.

754
00:33:50,840 --> 00:33:55,080
Speaker 3: He's like twenty six, I think, and yet in Dynasty

755
00:33:55,480 --> 00:33:59,640
Speaker 3: he's ranked lower than he is in Redraft. He's down

756
00:33:59,720 --> 00:34:01,840
Speaker 3: at like like two B eight. He's one hundred and

757
00:34:01,840 --> 00:34:04,440
Speaker 3: fortieth overall, and the consensus, Frank, he's looking at right now,

758
00:34:06,200 --> 00:34:08,960
Speaker 3: and I just think that's too low. This is somebody

759
00:34:08,960 --> 00:34:11,759
Speaker 3: who maybe the home runs come down to earth, you know,

760
00:34:11,920 --> 00:34:14,279
Speaker 3: back a little, but like I thought, he looked just

761
00:34:14,320 --> 00:34:17,359
Speaker 3: like a better power hitter this season. Obviously, going from

762
00:34:17,400 --> 00:34:19,640
Speaker 3: seven home runs in twenty twenty four to eighteen in

763
00:34:19,680 --> 00:34:22,360
Speaker 3: twenty twenty five, the soul and bases came down, but

764
00:34:22,400 --> 00:34:24,440
Speaker 3: they were still, you know, in the mid twenties. I

765
00:34:24,440 --> 00:34:26,520
Speaker 3: think there's room for that to get back over thirty.

766
00:34:26,680 --> 00:34:29,759
Speaker 3: It would not surprise me if this upcoming season, you know,

767
00:34:29,920 --> 00:34:33,000
Speaker 3: he takes maybe if the power jump is real, it

768
00:34:33,000 --> 00:34:35,359
Speaker 3: wouldn't surprise me if he maybe gets close to like

769
00:34:35,719 --> 00:34:38,600
Speaker 3: a twenty five to thirty type of season. That's the

770
00:34:38,680 --> 00:34:41,160
Speaker 3: high end outcome, right, I'm not saying that's definitely gonna happen.

771
00:34:41,360 --> 00:34:43,960
Speaker 3: The batting average got better too. It was too eighty eight.

772
00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:46,239
Speaker 3: His expected batting average was down at two sixty four,

773
00:34:46,480 --> 00:34:48,160
Speaker 3: so a little bit of regression possible there, but it

774
00:34:48,200 --> 00:34:50,480
Speaker 3: was still higher than it had been the previous couple

775
00:34:50,520 --> 00:34:53,759
Speaker 3: of seasons. And this was somebody who was, you know,

776
00:34:53,760 --> 00:34:56,680
Speaker 3: first on draft pick, and I think I believe the

777
00:34:56,719 --> 00:34:58,360
Speaker 3: sentiment was that he kind of fell a bit in

778
00:34:58,400 --> 00:35:00,960
Speaker 3: twenty eighteen. He was expected to go higher than he did.

779
00:35:01,000 --> 00:35:05,120
Speaker 3: He went twenty first overall in that draft class. So

780
00:35:05,160 --> 00:35:07,360
Speaker 3: somebody with a bit of pedigree who it felt like

781
00:35:07,400 --> 00:35:08,919
Speaker 3: take a step forward. This would not be the first

782
00:35:08,920 --> 00:35:12,440
Speaker 3: time somebody in their mid twenties developed some new power

783
00:35:12,480 --> 00:35:14,759
Speaker 3: we hadn't seen before. Still kept some of the speed.

784
00:35:14,800 --> 00:35:16,040
Speaker 3: The Brewers are a team that are going to be

785
00:35:16,040 --> 00:35:19,480
Speaker 3: willing to run. So I just really like Terrang and

786
00:35:19,520 --> 00:35:22,839
Speaker 3: I think he's undervalued. And I'm I'm really, like I said,

787
00:35:22,840 --> 00:35:24,799
Speaker 3: most of all, kind of curious what you think about him.

788
00:35:25,320 --> 00:35:27,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think, like, I think there's a lot of

789
00:35:27,000 --> 00:35:29,719
Speaker 1: reason to be excited about Bryce String. He's still only

790
00:35:29,719 --> 00:35:31,720
Speaker 1: twenty six years old. You know, you're kind of stepping

791
00:35:31,719 --> 00:35:32,520
Speaker 1: into the prime.

792
00:35:33,280 --> 00:35:34,200
Speaker 2: He took big.

793
00:35:34,000 --> 00:35:36,520
Speaker 1: Steps this past year obviously, as you mentioned, like you

794
00:35:36,560 --> 00:35:40,120
Speaker 1: tripled his barrel percentage. He hit the ball hard forty

795
00:35:40,120 --> 00:35:43,080
Speaker 1: seven percent. The year prior it was twenty nine percent.

796
00:35:43,120 --> 00:35:46,000
Speaker 1: I think the big key is he changed the profile

797
00:35:46,040 --> 00:35:49,200
Speaker 1: of the hitter that he was with that though it

798
00:35:49,360 --> 00:35:51,600
Speaker 1: cost some stuff, you know, his ks went up from

799
00:35:51,640 --> 00:35:55,000
Speaker 1: seventeen to twenty almost twenty three percent. He lost significant

800
00:35:55,080 --> 00:35:59,640
Speaker 1: zone contact percentage from like ninety down to eighty four percent.

801
00:36:00,080 --> 00:36:03,440
Speaker 1: I think the reason I bring those up is I

802
00:36:03,520 --> 00:36:07,000
Speaker 1: don't personally really buy the power with Bryce terrain, Like

803
00:36:07,040 --> 00:36:08,960
Speaker 1: I don't know if I buy the bat. I think

804
00:36:09,600 --> 00:36:12,600
Speaker 1: guy stole fifty bases like he can steal thirty. So

805
00:36:12,719 --> 00:36:14,680
Speaker 1: the argument of like, I think he could be a

806
00:36:14,680 --> 00:36:16,680
Speaker 1: fifteen to thirty guy, and I think that makes him

807
00:36:16,719 --> 00:36:19,200
Speaker 1: relatively valuable. The problem is that I still think he's

808
00:36:19,239 --> 00:36:20,360
Speaker 1: playing at a premium position.

809
00:36:20,400 --> 00:36:20,919
Speaker 2: I think that.

810
00:36:20,880 --> 00:36:24,040
Speaker 1: Boosts his value to a level that I don't particularly like,

811
00:36:24,080 --> 00:36:26,160
Speaker 1: because I just I don't really buy the power. It's

812
00:36:26,239 --> 00:36:29,360
Speaker 1: low barrel, it's not elite hard hit. He doesn't pull

813
00:36:29,400 --> 00:36:31,279
Speaker 1: the ball a whole bunch. He doesn't get the ball

814
00:36:31,320 --> 00:36:33,880
Speaker 1: in the air either. I used to not believe in

815
00:36:33,920 --> 00:36:34,520
Speaker 1: guys like CJ.

816
00:36:34,600 --> 00:36:35,040
Speaker 2: Abrams.

817
00:36:35,080 --> 00:36:36,799
Speaker 1: But the thing that Abrams would do, even though he

818
00:36:36,960 --> 00:36:39,759
Speaker 1: would have like a six to seven per barrel percentage

819
00:36:39,800 --> 00:36:42,399
Speaker 1: and weird hard hit rate, dude would get the ball

820
00:36:42,400 --> 00:36:45,160
Speaker 1: in the air. He lifted sixteen seventeen degree launch angle

821
00:36:45,239 --> 00:36:47,720
Speaker 1: train doesn't really do that. So I think his homers

822
00:36:47,719 --> 00:36:51,600
Speaker 1: are kind of volatile. But listen, he's a eighty five

823
00:36:51,760 --> 00:36:54,560
Speaker 1: eighty five guy with twelve to fifteen homers, a thirty

824
00:36:54,600 --> 00:36:56,840
Speaker 1: stolen bases in a two eighty ninety average.

825
00:36:57,200 --> 00:36:57,960
Speaker 2: He's valuable.

826
00:36:58,040 --> 00:37:00,160
Speaker 1: I just don't know if he'll be worth because of

827
00:37:00,200 --> 00:37:03,719
Speaker 1: the position, specifically another guy who's getting a ton of

828
00:37:03,760 --> 00:37:06,280
Speaker 1: hype this year, and boy, there's a lot of trade rumors,

829
00:37:06,280 --> 00:37:08,120
Speaker 1: and the trade stuff could even make him go up.

830
00:37:09,000 --> 00:37:10,399
Speaker 1: I don't know if it'll matter, but it's a twenty

831
00:37:10,400 --> 00:37:11,960
Speaker 1: six year old pitcher that I love. It's M and

832
00:37:12,000 --> 00:37:14,040
Speaker 1: she and I've just fallen re fallen in love with

833
00:37:14,080 --> 00:37:16,239
Speaker 1: em and she and two eight to two ERA this

834
00:37:16,320 --> 00:37:19,160
Speaker 1: past year and twelve games started fifteen total he played

835
00:37:19,200 --> 00:37:21,640
Speaker 1: in had a point ninety seven whips, so a sub

836
00:37:21,680 --> 00:37:25,240
Speaker 1: one whip thirty, almost thirty one percent k percentage, seven

837
00:37:25,280 --> 00:37:30,120
Speaker 1: percent walk rate, his expected era is supportive of where

838
00:37:30,160 --> 00:37:33,000
Speaker 1: he was at. He gotta love his slider had a

839
00:37:33,040 --> 00:37:36,319
Speaker 1: forty three percent whift percentage. He was really good with

840
00:37:36,320 --> 00:37:39,360
Speaker 1: it last year. No pitch he threw double digit percentage

841
00:37:39,400 --> 00:37:42,360
Speaker 1: of the time, So it's three pitches forcing fastball, slider,

842
00:37:42,400 --> 00:37:45,080
Speaker 1: and change up. Had a batting average over two fifteen.

843
00:37:45,360 --> 00:37:48,080
Speaker 1: In fact, two of them were under two hundred. His

844
00:37:48,160 --> 00:37:49,520
Speaker 1: stuff just looked elite.

845
00:37:49,680 --> 00:37:52,800
Speaker 2: He was punching out guys left and right. Looks like a.

846
00:37:52,920 --> 00:37:56,160
Speaker 1: Front ish line type of starter, and I just don't

847
00:37:56,160 --> 00:37:58,439
Speaker 1: think the perception has caught up with him as well.

848
00:37:58,480 --> 00:38:00,960
Speaker 1: Though there are rumors of, like, you know, would the

849
00:38:01,000 --> 00:38:03,440
Speaker 1: Dodgers make a splash and Shehan would be at the

850
00:38:03,480 --> 00:38:06,000
Speaker 1: forefront of it. They may not, and they just may

851
00:38:06,080 --> 00:38:09,000
Speaker 1: let him be a full on starter this season. And

852
00:38:09,040 --> 00:38:12,120
Speaker 1: I think there's just absolute win potential with high end

853
00:38:12,200 --> 00:38:14,640
Speaker 1: K percentage if he stays with the Dodgers. There's just

854
00:38:14,680 --> 00:38:16,680
Speaker 1: a lot to like about him and she In He's

855
00:38:16,719 --> 00:38:19,359
Speaker 1: the type of guy that's got well inside the top

856
00:38:19,400 --> 00:38:22,880
Speaker 1: one hundred value that maybe just not there in a

857
00:38:22,920 --> 00:38:25,839
Speaker 1: lot of perceived dynasty league. So I think he could

858
00:38:25,880 --> 00:38:27,440
Speaker 1: be got and that would be a player I'd be

859
00:38:27,440 --> 00:38:30,000
Speaker 1: trying to target, whether it's redraft or in trades right now,

860
00:38:30,080 --> 00:38:32,439
Speaker 1: is Ema chi Hin because we might be going into

861
00:38:32,560 --> 00:38:34,879
Speaker 1: the next stratosphere of his value very soon.

862
00:38:36,960 --> 00:38:39,560
Speaker 3: He's definitely a good pitcher. Like, I totally agree you've

863
00:38:39,560 --> 00:38:41,719
Speaker 3: made the sale. I'm not arguing that do you have

864
00:38:41,840 --> 00:38:45,319
Speaker 3: any concerns just with investing in dynasty in general with

865
00:38:45,600 --> 00:38:48,560
Speaker 3: Dodgers pitching, just because they're so deep and some of

866
00:38:48,600 --> 00:38:50,799
Speaker 3: the usage stuff, like he could very easily do a

867
00:38:50,800 --> 00:38:54,000
Speaker 3: phantom injury. I mean, the regular season doesn't matter to

868
00:38:54,080 --> 00:38:56,680
Speaker 3: this team, let alone the fact that maybe he could

869
00:38:56,680 --> 00:38:58,839
Speaker 3: get traded to a worse team that has fear win

870
00:38:58,920 --> 00:39:01,239
Speaker 3: on opportunities. I guess for me, it's just like I'm

871
00:39:01,239 --> 00:39:03,520
Speaker 3: not even saying that this is a bad investment. I

872
00:39:03,520 --> 00:39:06,880
Speaker 3: don't disagree with the pick. I'm just curious, like any

873
00:39:06,920 --> 00:39:11,160
Speaker 3: consternation on the just the usage and like how many

874
00:39:11,200 --> 00:39:13,200
Speaker 3: innings are we actually going to get out of Emichian.

875
00:39:13,480 --> 00:39:15,480
Speaker 1: I think it's a fair question because they're all like

876
00:39:15,520 --> 00:39:19,400
Speaker 1: six man rotations, and Batani obviously takes up some space.

877
00:39:21,280 --> 00:39:25,360
Speaker 1: I almost view Emmett Shehan similar to the same vibe

878
00:39:25,360 --> 00:39:28,280
Speaker 1: of and Andy Pahas. Remember when PAHs was like coming

879
00:39:28,360 --> 00:39:29,920
Speaker 1: up and they're like, yeah, he's good and he can

880
00:39:30,000 --> 00:39:32,320
Speaker 1: hit some homers, but man, they got so many players

881
00:39:32,360 --> 00:39:34,560
Speaker 1: and platoons and how are they going to find a spot?

882
00:39:34,600 --> 00:39:36,040
Speaker 1: And they spend money and then all of a sudden,

883
00:39:36,120 --> 00:39:38,080
Speaker 1: like he did and he had like twenty plus homers

884
00:39:38,120 --> 00:39:40,160
Speaker 1: and double digit stolen bait and it's just like he

885
00:39:40,200 --> 00:39:42,320
Speaker 1: came through. I think you can have all the questions

886
00:39:42,320 --> 00:39:46,120
Speaker 1: about Imachian, but it also looks like if he stays

887
00:39:46,120 --> 00:39:47,920
Speaker 1: on this team, he's just a guy that's going to

888
00:39:47,960 --> 00:39:51,160
Speaker 1: be entrenched in that rotation. Now, you know, like if

889
00:39:51,200 --> 00:39:52,920
Speaker 1: they go to a six man rotation that's less than

890
00:39:52,960 --> 00:39:55,960
Speaker 1: ideal and they could baby players and stuff like that.

891
00:39:56,280 --> 00:39:57,560
Speaker 2: I think those are fair questions.

892
00:39:57,560 --> 00:40:00,320
Speaker 1: It just doesn't really take away from like focus in

893
00:40:00,400 --> 00:40:03,160
Speaker 1: Dynasty more on the talent than I am, like a

894
00:40:04,280 --> 00:40:07,279
Speaker 1: short term destination or a short term issue that they're

895
00:40:07,320 --> 00:40:09,279
Speaker 1: dealing with. Like talent is going to pop through, So

896
00:40:09,400 --> 00:40:11,040
Speaker 1: I don't want to pay like a top fifty value,

897
00:40:11,080 --> 00:40:12,120
Speaker 1: top fifteen sp.

898
00:40:12,120 --> 00:40:12,719
Speaker 2: Or anything like that.

899
00:40:12,840 --> 00:40:15,640
Speaker 1: But like, if Shean can do what he did again

900
00:40:15,680 --> 00:40:17,160
Speaker 1: this year, even if he's a three and a half

901
00:40:17,239 --> 00:40:19,560
Speaker 1: yur guy, thirty percent k percentage, like he's going to

902
00:40:19,600 --> 00:40:22,520
Speaker 1: strike out two hundred, so I want to be kind

903
00:40:22,520 --> 00:40:23,319
Speaker 1: of aggressive on him.

904
00:40:23,360 --> 00:40:25,160
Speaker 2: But it is like it is a super super fair

905
00:40:25,280 --> 00:40:26,359
Speaker 2: question that you're bringing up.

906
00:40:27,000 --> 00:40:30,400
Speaker 1: Speaking of guys like Immachian, Bryce, Terrang, how do you

Speaker 3: Who Aiden Miller of the Phillies, a player who coming

931
00:41:28,160 --> 00:41:30,839
Speaker 3: out of high school I liked a lot and fell

932
00:41:30,880 --> 00:41:32,200
Speaker 3: a little bit because he had I think it was

933
00:41:32,200 --> 00:41:35,560
Speaker 3: at a wrist injury his senior season, so he didn't

934
00:41:35,560 --> 00:41:38,320
Speaker 3: get to really hit as much something like that, and

935
00:41:38,440 --> 00:41:40,239
Speaker 3: it snapped some of his power. So the Phillies kind

936
00:41:40,239 --> 00:41:42,520
Speaker 3: of took advantage with him falling in that first round.

937
00:41:42,960 --> 00:41:47,160
Speaker 3: And I feel like in some of the conversations I've

938
00:41:47,160 --> 00:41:50,439
Speaker 3: had with friends that I played Dynasty Baseball with, there's

939
00:41:50,480 --> 00:41:53,319
Speaker 3: a little less shine on Aiden Miller now than there

940
00:41:53,400 --> 00:41:55,479
Speaker 3: was a year ago. And I don't totally get why.

941
00:41:56,160 --> 00:41:58,560
Speaker 3: Maybe that's just like the small sample size and it's

942
00:41:58,560 --> 00:42:02,640
Speaker 3: an anecdotal story and not perceived by everybody else, because

943
00:42:02,640 --> 00:42:05,000
Speaker 3: if you look at his stats, they're largely, like very

944
00:42:05,120 --> 00:42:07,960
Speaker 3: in line with what he did in twenty twenty four.

945
00:42:08,080 --> 00:42:10,400
Speaker 3: You know, the walk rate went up a couple percentage spots,

946
00:42:10,400 --> 00:42:13,080
Speaker 3: so did the strikeout rate. You know, if you look

947
00:42:13,080 --> 00:42:15,640
Speaker 3: at if you look at Fangrass. It's like very very

948
00:42:15,680 --> 00:42:19,279
Speaker 3: similar numbers in every category, like isolated powerpap up. It's

949
00:42:19,320 --> 00:42:21,800
Speaker 3: like with the way to runs great A plus is

950
00:42:21,800 --> 00:42:23,120
Speaker 3: like within four of each other. This is of course

951
00:42:23,120 --> 00:42:26,200
Speaker 3: at two different minor league levels, but it's just remarkable,

952
00:42:26,200 --> 00:42:29,760
Speaker 3: Like it looks very similar, except for he stole thirty

953
00:42:29,760 --> 00:42:32,399
Speaker 3: six more bases than he did in Toy twenty four,

954
00:42:32,440 --> 00:42:35,400
Speaker 3: so they unlocked his speed and his base running ability

955
00:42:35,920 --> 00:42:37,719
Speaker 3: in a much different way than they had in his

956
00:42:37,760 --> 00:42:41,080
Speaker 3: first couple of minor league seasons. And it seems like

957
00:42:41,200 --> 00:42:44,799
Speaker 3: and I actually like kind of personally, not that I

958
00:42:44,840 --> 00:42:49,800
Speaker 3: am some like, you know, super perfect talent evaluator, personally,

959
00:42:49,880 --> 00:42:52,440
Speaker 3: I do still feel like he probably should end up

960
00:42:52,480 --> 00:42:54,799
Speaker 3: at third, But the Phillies are talking about him like

961
00:42:54,800 --> 00:42:56,799
Speaker 3: he's going to stick at shortstop, like they're happy with

962
00:42:56,880 --> 00:42:58,640
Speaker 3: him there. I know when he was drafted there was

963
00:42:58,680 --> 00:43:01,759
Speaker 3: talk about him moving, but he see he has been

964
00:43:01,800 --> 00:43:05,239
Speaker 3: a shortstop so far through the miners. And and if

965
00:43:05,239 --> 00:43:07,560
Speaker 3: you're gonna give me a guy who is the miner's

966
00:43:07,560 --> 00:43:10,920
Speaker 3: stealing close to sixty bases in a season with fourteen

967
00:43:10,960 --> 00:43:13,320
Speaker 3: home runs, obviously this is in you know, one hundred

968
00:43:13,320 --> 00:43:16,239
Speaker 3: and sixteen games is total he played in twenty twenty five.

969
00:43:16,680 --> 00:43:18,600
Speaker 3: With some of these other numbers, I see, like, I

970
00:43:19,000 --> 00:43:21,839
Speaker 3: just don't think that the prospect chie should have come

971
00:43:21,880 --> 00:43:24,399
Speaker 3: off at all. I still really like Miller. I love

972
00:43:24,480 --> 00:43:26,839
Speaker 3: investing him in dynasty leagues, and I think he's gonna

973
00:43:26,880 --> 00:43:28,799
Speaker 3: be a really productive player at the big league level

974
00:43:28,840 --> 00:43:30,960
Speaker 3: and that could maybe come as soon as this season.

975
00:43:31,480 --> 00:43:33,279
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think the team is going to move on

976
00:43:33,360 --> 00:43:35,880
Speaker 1: from Bome, and I think that opens up an opportunity

977
00:43:37,239 --> 00:43:39,160
Speaker 1: all inters of purposes of maybe what I know I

978
00:43:39,160 --> 00:43:41,279
Speaker 1: think he is the transition is happening to third base.

979
00:43:41,360 --> 00:43:42,600
Speaker 2: Just let me just put it at that.

980
00:43:43,000 --> 00:43:44,840
Speaker 3: I hope that's that is the case, because that's what

981
00:43:44,880 --> 00:43:45,480
Speaker 3: I want to see.

982
00:43:45,880 --> 00:43:46,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, he suffered.

983
00:43:47,120 --> 00:43:50,040
Speaker 1: He actually had another little injury that kept him from

984
00:43:50,040 --> 00:43:52,400
Speaker 1: going to the Arizona Fall League so he could stay healthy.

985
00:43:53,320 --> 00:43:54,960
Speaker 1: I think he could end up being kind of like

986
00:43:54,960 --> 00:43:58,400
Speaker 1: a Michael Frank Michael Garcia, Michael Franco, not that Michael

987
00:43:58,480 --> 00:44:02,960
Speaker 1: Franco former Philly third base, but Michael Garcia, where it's

988
00:44:03,000 --> 00:44:05,000
Speaker 1: like you can get the fifteen to twenty homers, you

989
00:44:05,040 --> 00:44:06,520
Speaker 1: can get some elite stolen bases.

990
00:44:06,560 --> 00:44:08,160
Speaker 2: He stole like to a crazy degree.

991
00:44:08,160 --> 00:44:08,480
Speaker 3: This year.

992
00:44:08,520 --> 00:44:08,959
Speaker 2: I agree.

993
00:44:08,960 --> 00:44:11,120
Speaker 1: If there is any prospects shying that's off, I think

994
00:44:11,200 --> 00:44:13,319
Speaker 1: maybe it's that people just aren't talking about him. We've

995
00:44:13,360 --> 00:44:16,239
Speaker 1: had an offseason of it's Kevi McGonagall, and it's you know,

996
00:44:16,239 --> 00:44:20,120
Speaker 1: he's just made, and it's Connor Griffin. Obviously that Aiden Miller,

997
00:44:20,200 --> 00:44:21,880
Speaker 1: like he just kind of whimpered out at the end

998
00:44:21,920 --> 00:44:24,120
Speaker 1: of the year with the injury. Was no Arizona Fall League.

999
00:44:24,160 --> 00:44:26,680
Speaker 1: But I do think he's a Boem trade away from

1000
00:44:26,719 --> 00:44:29,120
Speaker 1: being an actual option at the major So I really

1001
00:44:29,120 --> 00:44:32,239
Speaker 1: do love this one. I have got a former prospect

1002
00:44:32,560 --> 00:44:34,960
Speaker 1: and this is my next two are very much.

1003
00:44:34,880 --> 00:44:36,840
Speaker 2: A buy back opportunity.

1004
00:44:37,760 --> 00:44:42,080
Speaker 1: These players, this one particularly, we'll just say Jack Caglion.

1005
00:44:42,880 --> 00:44:46,000
Speaker 1: He still got a lot of name value, but boy,

1006
00:44:46,040 --> 00:44:48,680
Speaker 1: this season I think took some of it off, where

1007
00:44:48,680 --> 00:44:50,920
Speaker 1: he ended up only being able to hit one fifty

1008
00:44:51,080 --> 00:44:55,440
Speaker 1: seven two thirty seven OBP in over two hundred at bats,

1009
00:44:55,440 --> 00:44:58,480
Speaker 1: miss some time transition to the outfield. Obviously, there's some

1010
00:44:58,560 --> 00:45:00,799
Speaker 1: great raw skills that are floating out there, but I

1011
00:45:00,920 --> 00:45:03,440
Speaker 1: just think the negativity of like Jack ag Leone was

1012
00:45:03,440 --> 00:45:05,040
Speaker 1: a guy that was probably seen as like a top

1013
00:45:05,040 --> 00:45:07,360
Speaker 1: two or three overall prospect inside the top fifty. I

1014
00:45:07,400 --> 00:45:09,040
Speaker 1: think he's well outside of that, and I think in

1015
00:45:09,080 --> 00:45:11,960
Speaker 1: some spots his age might be keeping him because he's

1016
00:45:12,000 --> 00:45:14,279
Speaker 1: only twenty two, but he might be outside the top

1017
00:45:14,360 --> 00:45:16,680
Speaker 1: one hundred. We did a live show out here in

1018
00:45:16,719 --> 00:45:21,000
Speaker 1: Phoenix and Inosarus came on and kind of expressed his

1019
00:45:21,080 --> 00:45:23,520
Speaker 1: love even in redraft for this season on Jack Cagleon,

1020
00:45:23,600 --> 00:45:26,040
Speaker 1: and I think that should kind of trickle over into

1021
00:45:26,040 --> 00:45:29,319
Speaker 1: the dynasty spot the bright spots, because there was just

1022
00:45:29,480 --> 00:45:33,040
Speaker 1: so many negatives, you know, like he is batting average stunk,

1023
00:45:33,080 --> 00:45:35,600
Speaker 1: his XBA wasn't great, He did not get the ball

1024
00:45:35,719 --> 00:45:39,000
Speaker 1: in the air. He had a under one seventy one

1025
00:45:39,160 --> 00:45:42,040
Speaker 1: average against all pitch types. Like those are some big

1026
00:45:42,080 --> 00:45:44,879
Speaker 1: negatives outside of the counting stats. The positives though, twelve

1027
00:45:44,920 --> 00:45:47,640
Speaker 1: percent barrel rate, one of the fastest bats in baseball,

1028
00:45:47,920 --> 00:45:51,520
Speaker 1: he hit the ball okay from like a hard hit perspective,

1029
00:45:51,640 --> 00:45:53,759
Speaker 1: really struck out twenty two percent of the time. I

1030
00:45:53,800 --> 00:45:56,160
Speaker 1: think there's a lot that can work in favor of

1031
00:45:56,239 --> 00:45:58,600
Speaker 1: Jack Cagleon. By the way, I'd point out he had

1032
00:45:58,600 --> 00:46:03,960
Speaker 1: a one seventy two bat that is astronomically low, like

1033
00:46:04,160 --> 00:46:07,359
Speaker 1: not even close, like even on the lower end guys.

1034
00:46:07,080 --> 00:46:08,760
Speaker 2: Could be is two fifty two sixty.

1035
00:46:09,120 --> 00:46:12,040
Speaker 1: That is like the if you want to laymansy, look

1036
00:46:12,080 --> 00:46:13,880
Speaker 1: at it like as a as a luck perspective that

1037
00:46:13,920 --> 00:46:15,759
Speaker 1: it can bounce back in the next direction. Listen, I

1038
00:46:15,840 --> 00:46:19,279
Speaker 1: think Jack Kaglione can hit two forty and hit thirty

1039
00:46:19,320 --> 00:46:21,279
Speaker 1: plus homers in regular playing time, which he will get

1040
00:46:21,320 --> 00:46:22,959
Speaker 1: this year. I think it's a great time to buy

1041
00:46:23,000 --> 00:46:25,200
Speaker 1: on him before everything starts hyping back up.

1042
00:46:25,440 --> 00:46:27,680
Speaker 2: And I would do so with CAGs.

1043
00:46:29,200 --> 00:46:32,359
Speaker 3: Yeah, I agree like Kaglion and also the next guy

1044
00:46:32,400 --> 00:46:34,440
Speaker 3: that you have on your list, Like I am just

1045
00:46:34,480 --> 00:46:37,319
Speaker 3: a huge, huge fan. It's like, probably my number one

1046
00:46:37,320 --> 00:46:41,480
Speaker 3: strategy is buying low on elite prospects who really struggled

1047
00:46:41,560 --> 00:46:43,680
Speaker 3: in their in their first opportunities in the big leagues.

1048
00:46:43,760 --> 00:46:46,520
Speaker 3: Like I and a lot of people like see it

1049
00:46:46,560 --> 00:46:48,040
Speaker 3: the same way. So I'm not saying I'm like going

1050
00:46:48,040 --> 00:46:49,279
Speaker 3: out on a limb here or that you can take

1051
00:46:49,280 --> 00:46:51,480
Speaker 3: advantage of every league with that, but it is just

1052
00:46:51,960 --> 00:46:55,200
Speaker 3: a tried and true strategy that I'm willing to miss

1053
00:46:55,200 --> 00:46:58,160
Speaker 3: on guys that fit that category a few times because

1054
00:46:58,160 --> 00:47:00,000
Speaker 3: i know I'm gonna hit big on some other guys,

1055
00:47:00,200 --> 00:47:02,719
Speaker 3: So I'm all in on both of the names that

1056
00:47:02,719 --> 00:47:04,160
Speaker 3: you have here. I know we only talk about one here,

1057
00:47:04,200 --> 00:47:05,440
Speaker 3: but yeah.

1058
00:47:04,960 --> 00:47:06,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, But I'd also just point out, like I think

1059
00:47:06,680 --> 00:47:08,920
Speaker 1: it's a really great statement to say. This would be

1060
00:47:08,960 --> 00:47:11,120
Speaker 1: like a classic like in the comments of you know

1061
00:47:11,160 --> 00:47:12,520
Speaker 1: what would be the common comment.

1062
00:47:12,360 --> 00:47:15,520
Speaker 2: Like I'd love for someone detrue Jock. It's like, yeah,

1063
00:47:15,520 --> 00:47:16,000
Speaker 2: well guess what.

1064
00:47:16,040 --> 00:47:18,319
Speaker 1: But like we're not and not every league is the same,

1065
00:47:18,360 --> 00:47:20,520
Speaker 1: and there are people that are like really in tuned.

1066
00:47:20,800 --> 00:47:23,080
Speaker 1: There are people that have built in strategies, but from

1067
00:47:23,120 --> 00:47:25,640
Speaker 1: an overarching perspective, like we want to talk about these things,

1068
00:47:25,680 --> 00:47:27,760
Speaker 1: and I think it is a tried and trude great

1069
00:47:27,840 --> 00:47:29,960
Speaker 1: It doesn't always work, by the way, like you could

1070
00:47:30,200 --> 00:47:31,560
Speaker 1: how many years could you have done it with Jordan

1071
00:47:31,640 --> 00:47:33,919
Speaker 1: Walker and it still doesn't work or Joe Adell until

1072
00:47:33,920 --> 00:47:37,439
Speaker 1: it finally does. But even in the redraft time, there'll

1073
00:47:37,440 --> 00:47:39,560
Speaker 1: be a lot of people that is like avoid prospects,

1074
00:47:40,040 --> 00:47:42,840
Speaker 1: let people draft them high, then dump them when they stink,

1075
00:47:42,920 --> 00:47:44,839
Speaker 1: and then pick them up when things kind of bounce back.

1076
00:47:44,880 --> 00:47:47,799
Speaker 1: The same should be said in Dynasty, like I want

1077
00:47:47,800 --> 00:47:50,719
Speaker 1: to look for some intangible players that had really like

1078
00:47:50,840 --> 00:47:54,360
Speaker 1: maybe poorish debuts and buy them at absolute rock bottom.

1079
00:47:54,400 --> 00:47:56,440
Speaker 1: Jack hagleone is one of those players that you can

1080
00:47:56,480 --> 00:47:58,400
Speaker 1: get not quite as the rock bottom as the next

1081
00:47:58,440 --> 00:48:00,360
Speaker 1: guy that I'm going to talk about, but he is

1082
00:48:00,400 --> 00:48:02,719
Speaker 1: in a much much lower space for a guy that

1083
00:48:02,760 --> 00:48:05,480
Speaker 1: could hit forty homers in his sleep if things work

1084
00:48:05,520 --> 00:48:08,120
Speaker 1: in the right space. So yes, we may not be

1085
00:48:08,160 --> 00:48:11,719
Speaker 1: speaking to your exact league you listening or something like that,

1086
00:48:11,760 --> 00:48:13,919
Speaker 1: but we are speaking in the overarching perspective. All right,

1087
00:48:14,520 --> 00:48:17,600
Speaker 1: last two we have in here, and you just could

1088
00:48:17,600 --> 00:48:20,239
Speaker 1: not help yourself in getting a second Oriole.

1089
00:48:20,200 --> 00:48:23,520
Speaker 3: I had to do it. Dylan Beavers, who I'll go

1090
00:48:23,600 --> 00:48:25,480
Speaker 3: quick on because this isn't the biggest name. I mean,

1091
00:48:25,480 --> 00:48:27,920
Speaker 3: he's ranked outside the top two fifty in our consensus

1092
00:48:28,000 --> 00:48:31,120
Speaker 3: Dynasty rankings, like probably fairly. I just want to point

1093
00:48:31,160 --> 00:48:34,080
Speaker 3: out that this is the exact type of hitter that

1094
00:48:34,200 --> 00:48:36,760
Speaker 3: this iteration of the Orioles and the player development staff

1095
00:48:36,800 --> 00:48:40,200
Speaker 3: under Michael Lias has hit on with at a very

1096
00:48:40,320 --> 00:48:43,319
Speaker 3: high rate. I think he's kind of going. I think

1097
00:48:43,360 --> 00:48:47,040
Speaker 3: there's a chance that his ultimate production is like an

1098
00:48:47,040 --> 00:48:52,359
Speaker 3: outfielder version of Jordan Westberg. And I just think he's

1099
00:48:52,400 --> 00:48:54,319
Speaker 3: ranked too low. This is not somebody that I think

1100
00:48:54,400 --> 00:48:56,080
Speaker 3: is going to be a top twelve outfielder right at

1101
00:48:56,080 --> 00:48:57,960
Speaker 3: any point in his career. Right, This is not a

1102
00:48:58,040 --> 00:49:02,000
Speaker 3: dynasty dart throw that I think is going to become

1103
00:49:02,000 --> 00:49:04,120
Speaker 3: a league winner for you. But I think he's ranked

1104
00:49:04,160 --> 00:49:07,040
Speaker 3: too low. I think when we get a full season

1105
00:49:07,040 --> 00:49:09,040
Speaker 3: out of him, I think everybody's gonna be really impressed.

1106
00:49:09,040 --> 00:49:11,040
Speaker 3: He's got a very good batting eye. You know, he

1107
00:49:11,120 --> 00:49:14,480
Speaker 3: walked up assuming he walked at a high rate with

1108
00:49:14,520 --> 00:49:18,239
Speaker 3: the Orioles in twenty twenty five. He you know, like

1109
00:49:18,360 --> 00:49:19,840
Speaker 3: his walker it actually went up when he got to

1110
00:49:19,840 --> 00:49:21,800
Speaker 3: the big leagues compared to where it was in the minors.

1111
00:49:21,800 --> 00:49:23,880
Speaker 3: Strikeout rate did go up to Again, he's not a

1112
00:49:23,880 --> 00:49:25,839
Speaker 3: perfect player, but you know, there's the top one hundred

1113
00:49:25,920 --> 00:49:29,680
Speaker 3: prospect right now going into the season. I think, like

1114
00:49:30,440 --> 00:49:32,839
Speaker 3: so I talked earlier with Stours how the Orioles had

1115
00:49:32,840 --> 00:49:36,480
Speaker 3: this log jam at outfield, it's really cleared up. So

1116
00:49:36,520 --> 00:49:39,640
Speaker 3: Beavers is going to play every day, and I mean,

1117
00:49:39,680 --> 00:49:42,560
Speaker 3: barring them doing something here in free agency that's that's surprising.

1118
00:49:42,680 --> 00:49:44,719
Speaker 3: But I think he's going to play every day and

1119
00:49:44,800 --> 00:49:46,759
Speaker 3: get a real opportunity. I think he's gonna get on base.

1120
00:49:46,800 --> 00:49:48,520
Speaker 3: I think the lineup's gonna be much improved this year,

1121
00:49:48,560 --> 00:49:52,560
Speaker 3: So he's gonna score runs and have RBI opportunity, and

1122
00:49:52,600 --> 00:49:55,240
Speaker 3: I think he's just going to be a generally good player.

1123
00:49:55,440 --> 00:49:57,480
Speaker 3: Some of the Orioles fans I know kind of compare

1124
00:49:57,560 --> 00:49:59,719
Speaker 3: him to like he's the new Nick mar Cakis because

1125
00:49:59,719 --> 00:50:02,160
Speaker 3: he's kind of like a stoic figure. Also like off

1126
00:50:02,239 --> 00:50:04,000
Speaker 3: the field, I'm not saying he's gonna be as good

1127
00:50:04,040 --> 00:50:05,680
Speaker 3: as Nick mark Cacus, who was an excellent player for

1128
00:50:05,719 --> 00:50:08,520
Speaker 3: a long time, But I just like Beaver's and again,

1129
00:50:08,560 --> 00:50:09,840
Speaker 3: he's the type of player that I really put my

1130
00:50:09,920 --> 00:50:13,200
Speaker 3: trust in the Orioles organization to develop this specific type

1131
00:50:13,200 --> 00:50:16,680
Speaker 3: of hitter, and I'm expecting a good year where like

1132
00:50:16,920 --> 00:50:19,920
Speaker 3: as a very very very deep dart throw al Rookie

1133
00:50:19,960 --> 00:50:21,799
Speaker 3: of the Year pick, Like I don't even hate that.

1134
00:50:21,880 --> 00:50:23,839
Speaker 3: I really think we could see a step forward this year.

1135
00:50:24,080 --> 00:50:26,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, Buddy air Cross feels the same way. He really

1136
00:50:26,640 --> 00:50:28,840
Speaker 1: loves Dylan Beaver's. Yeah, I think there's a lot of

1137
00:50:28,880 --> 00:50:30,880
Speaker 1: good positives in the same vein of like what you

1138
00:50:30,920 --> 00:50:33,080
Speaker 1: looked at with what they gave up in Kyle Stowers,

1139
00:50:33,120 --> 00:50:34,279
Speaker 1: they don't give up here.

1140
00:50:34,880 --> 00:50:35,359
Speaker 2: I will say.

1141
00:50:35,400 --> 00:50:37,560
Speaker 1: Beavers pulls the ball in the air like to an

1142
00:50:37,560 --> 00:50:40,480
Speaker 1: elite level, and that can work really well if the

1143
00:50:40,520 --> 00:50:42,160
Speaker 1: barrel and hard hit numbers come up, and then he

1144
00:50:42,239 --> 00:50:44,880
Speaker 1: might actually be kind of like a repeat, a super

1145
00:50:44,880 --> 00:50:47,560
Speaker 1: super cheap repeat of a Kyle Stowers. All right, So

1146
00:50:47,600 --> 00:50:51,200
Speaker 1: the guy that we were teasing my second by was

1147
00:50:51,239 --> 00:50:53,279
Speaker 1: someone I was very much in on last year and

1148
00:50:53,520 --> 00:50:57,600
Speaker 1: was very much wrong about because things did not work out.

1149
00:50:57,640 --> 00:50:59,279
Speaker 1: But I'm going to go back to the well, at

1150
00:50:59,360 --> 00:51:02,920
Speaker 1: least from a Dinah perspective, to buy Dylan Cruse. Dylan

1151
00:51:02,960 --> 00:51:06,800
Speaker 1: Cruz ended a very poorish year, hit under three hundred bats,

1152
00:51:06,800 --> 00:51:09,160
Speaker 1: did hit ten homers in seventeen stolen bases. The counting

1153
00:51:09,160 --> 00:51:11,399
Speaker 1: stats are actually not that bad even if he had

1154
00:51:11,480 --> 00:51:14,120
Speaker 1: kept stinking and you put a full season on him.

1155
00:51:14,160 --> 00:51:17,200
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, extrapolation is almost a twenty thirty season.

1156
00:51:17,760 --> 00:51:18,600
Speaker 2: The reason we're.

1157
00:51:18,480 --> 00:51:22,200
Speaker 1: Jumping back in is again, yes, there were some like

1158
00:51:22,360 --> 00:51:27,040
Speaker 1: super super negatives on his overall approach, like the strikeout

1159
00:51:27,120 --> 00:51:30,920
Speaker 1: rate went up. There was some overall contact issues, you know,

1160
00:51:31,000 --> 00:51:33,960
Speaker 1: especially from like breaking pitches that really kind of sunk him.

1161
00:51:34,480 --> 00:51:37,920
Speaker 1: But Dylan Cruise improved his barrel percentage, He had an

1162
00:51:37,920 --> 00:51:41,799
Speaker 1: almost ten percent, He improved his average exit velocity. Still

1163
00:51:41,880 --> 00:51:44,200
Speaker 1: kind of low, but eighty nine point seven. He improved

1164
00:51:44,239 --> 00:51:47,919
Speaker 1: his max exit velocity. Love to see those things, and

1165
00:51:48,200 --> 00:51:51,240
Speaker 1: he hadn't expected batting average that was thirty points higher.

1166
00:51:52,800 --> 00:51:54,200
Speaker 2: I think he's way too talented.

1167
00:51:54,280 --> 00:51:56,680
Speaker 1: He's been kind of an all fields type of hitter

1168
00:51:56,840 --> 00:51:59,480
Speaker 1: that I think the power is kind of tough to project.

1169
00:51:59,760 --> 00:52:02,600
Speaker 1: But he was still stealing bases at a pretty elite level.

1170
00:52:02,640 --> 00:52:06,400
Speaker 1: He was also essentially top ten percentile in sprint speed.

1171
00:52:06,680 --> 00:52:09,960
Speaker 1: So given this new opportunity that will probably pop up

1172
00:52:10,000 --> 00:52:13,200
Speaker 1: this year, I think he's got a legitimate chance to

1173
00:52:13,320 --> 00:52:15,560
Speaker 1: come back and be like a twenty thirty guy, you know,

1174
00:52:15,640 --> 00:52:17,879
Speaker 1: maybe worse fifteen to twenty five guy. I think he's

1175
00:52:17,920 --> 00:52:19,759
Speaker 1: going to hit for better average. I think you're going

1176
00:52:19,840 --> 00:52:24,239
Speaker 1: to see some overall improvements. He really struggled against lefties

1177
00:52:24,320 --> 00:52:26,680
Speaker 1: this year, which is I think something he can improve on.

1178
00:52:26,719 --> 00:52:29,040
Speaker 1: He at forty points lower. He was a little bit

1179
00:52:29,080 --> 00:52:32,640
Speaker 1: better in the second half. This is cratered value, like

1180
00:52:32,719 --> 00:52:35,880
Speaker 1: Dylan Cruz is like not in top two hundreds of

1181
00:52:35,880 --> 00:52:37,560
Speaker 1: a lot of dynasty. And if you're willing to give

1182
00:52:37,640 --> 00:52:40,799
Speaker 1: the the thought process of Jason Dimingez can turn this around.

1183
00:52:40,800 --> 00:52:43,480
Speaker 1: I think you should be willing to consider that Dylan

1184
00:52:43,520 --> 00:52:46,319
Speaker 1: Cruz can. He's still only twenty three years old. I

1185
00:52:46,360 --> 00:52:48,160
Speaker 1: want to buy back my shares of Dylan Cruz, and

1186
00:52:48,160 --> 00:52:49,879
Speaker 1: I want to get at a really cheap cost this year.

1187
00:52:51,000 --> 00:52:53,440
Speaker 3: I wouldn't even waste time on this. Like it's the

1188
00:52:53,480 --> 00:52:55,719
Speaker 3: same thing as keg Leione. Like, like I said, I

1189
00:52:55,760 --> 00:52:57,600
Speaker 3: love buying low and guys of this pedigree, And I'll

1190
00:52:57,640 --> 00:53:00,239
Speaker 3: just say, like, you know, in half a season he

1191
00:53:00,320 --> 00:53:03,400
Speaker 3: was pacing for like twenty a twenty thirty five season

1192
00:53:03,480 --> 00:53:06,319
Speaker 3: almost and it was a terrible year. So like, with

1193
00:53:06,360 --> 00:53:09,439
Speaker 3: a little better performance elsewhere, Like I think the power

1194
00:53:09,480 --> 00:53:11,440
Speaker 3: speed numbers can be there, obviously, I think the average

1195
00:53:11,440 --> 00:53:13,560
Speaker 3: can get higher than two eight. This is a great

1196
00:53:13,600 --> 00:53:15,680
Speaker 3: hitter at LSU. Like I totally agree.

1197
00:53:16,320 --> 00:53:19,400
Speaker 1: All right, final ones on the board here we are

1198
00:53:19,440 --> 00:53:21,680
Speaker 1: going with some rookies, and you know, why don't I

1199
00:53:21,719 --> 00:53:22,520
Speaker 1: do mine first?

1200
00:53:22,520 --> 00:53:24,239
Speaker 2: Because I think yours is.

1201
00:53:23,920 --> 00:53:30,120
Speaker 1: Probably the most like unique, yeah, polarizing and interesting because

1202
00:53:30,200 --> 00:53:31,960
Speaker 1: because he is not a guy that has actually even

1203
00:53:32,000 --> 00:53:36,839
Speaker 1: been drafted. This in the prospect world is one of

1204
00:53:36,880 --> 00:53:39,000
Speaker 1: the I think there's a couple really really hot names.

1205
00:53:39,480 --> 00:53:42,680
Speaker 1: Edward Florentino is like a really really popular name, but

1206
00:53:43,080 --> 00:53:46,080
Speaker 1: Edward Florentino is a guy that I think is we're

1207
00:53:46,080 --> 00:53:48,960
Speaker 1: talking like skyrocketing value. He has seen universally as like

1208
00:53:49,000 --> 00:53:52,200
Speaker 1: a top twenty overall prospect in the game. The one

1209
00:53:52,239 --> 00:53:54,440
Speaker 1: I want to throw out to you is Roniel Rodriguez.

1210
00:53:55,320 --> 00:53:58,600
Speaker 1: This past season, as an eighteen year old, Rono Rodriguez

1211
00:53:58,680 --> 00:54:01,960
Speaker 1: hit twenty homers two seventy six with a three ninety

1212
00:54:02,040 --> 00:54:02,840
Speaker 1: nine OBP.

1213
00:54:03,360 --> 00:54:04,120
Speaker 2: He's a catcher.

1214
00:54:04,760 --> 00:54:08,040
Speaker 1: I think using him a little bit at first whatever position,

1215
00:54:08,080 --> 00:54:10,120
Speaker 1: as long as they give him like regular at bats

1216
00:54:10,200 --> 00:54:12,520
Speaker 1: and he doesn't have like catcher at bats. You know,

1217
00:54:12,560 --> 00:54:15,279
Speaker 1: if he's not catching, he's dhing or first base. I

1218
00:54:15,280 --> 00:54:18,040
Speaker 1: think that's a big positive. But the thing about Ronnie

1219
00:54:18,120 --> 00:54:21,760
Speaker 1: Rodriguez why you want to buy now, whether he's seen

1220
00:54:21,800 --> 00:54:26,160
Speaker 1: as like a fortieth overall prospect or fiftieth overall prospect,

1221
00:54:26,360 --> 00:54:29,919
Speaker 1: is he has a chance to absolutely rocket this year.

1222
00:54:30,280 --> 00:54:34,040
Speaker 1: Huge hard hit numbers, great max ev ninetieth percentile evs

1223
00:54:34,239 --> 00:54:36,840
Speaker 1: well above not only like league average but age to

1224
00:54:37,000 --> 00:54:40,800
Speaker 1: level average. We're talking about like a potential future elite

1225
00:54:41,040 --> 00:54:41,640
Speaker 1: power bat.

1226
00:54:41,719 --> 00:54:41,919
Speaker 3: Now.

1227
00:54:42,160 --> 00:54:44,880
Speaker 1: Positionally, like I said, this is like first base or catcher,

1228
00:54:45,320 --> 00:54:47,520
Speaker 1: maybe at some point it can go to like corner outfield,

1229
00:54:47,760 --> 00:54:50,799
Speaker 1: but the bat is live. This is a prospect that

1230
00:54:50,880 --> 00:54:52,719
Speaker 1: is a little bit ways away, but I think can

1231
00:54:52,840 --> 00:54:55,160
Speaker 1: jump from being like a prospect in the forties or

1232
00:54:55,160 --> 00:54:58,560
Speaker 1: fifties to being maybe a top ten overall, huge, huge

1233
00:54:58,560 --> 00:55:01,040
Speaker 1: power potential from age to lef on homers, I mean,

1234
00:55:01,120 --> 00:55:03,560
Speaker 1: eighteen years old put twenty homers up this past season,

1235
00:55:03,960 --> 00:55:07,800
Speaker 1: where a few of these other prospects Luis Pana Jesus

1236
00:55:07,840 --> 00:55:10,239
Speaker 1: made Edward Florentino get a lot of the push. I

1237
00:55:10,280 --> 00:55:12,719
Speaker 1: think Ryno Rodriguez is a great prospect, especially with that

1238
00:55:12,760 --> 00:55:15,120
Speaker 1: catcher tag, to buy in Dynasty right now, even though

1239
00:55:15,120 --> 00:55:17,440
Speaker 1: he does cost more, I would want to get my

1240
00:55:17,560 --> 00:55:20,400
Speaker 1: shares not only from what he could potentially do for

1241
00:55:20,400 --> 00:55:22,200
Speaker 1: me in a couple of years, but also the potential

1242
00:55:22,280 --> 00:55:26,480
Speaker 1: trade value. So in refresh, that's the biggest question people

1243
00:55:26,480 --> 00:55:28,120
Speaker 1: have in Dynasty, by the way, is when you start

1244
00:55:28,160 --> 00:55:30,520
Speaker 1: up a new one, how do you compare the young

1245
00:55:30,600 --> 00:55:33,480
Speaker 1: guys to the older guys. I'm a win now guy,

1246
00:55:33,960 --> 00:55:37,600
Speaker 1: so I am more likely to I'll put higher valuations

1247
00:55:37,600 --> 00:55:39,600
Speaker 1: on like twenty five twenty six year old players and

1248
00:55:39,600 --> 00:55:42,240
Speaker 1: stuff like that. But I'm more willing to probably draft

1249
00:55:42,280 --> 00:55:44,239
Speaker 1: some of these older thirty year old players. You know,

1250
00:55:44,280 --> 00:55:47,160
Speaker 1: if you give me an extra value, if you give

1251
00:55:47,200 --> 00:55:49,399
Speaker 1: me like a round of Jose Ramirez, and if I'm

1252
00:55:49,400 --> 00:55:51,600
Speaker 1: on the wheel and I can get Josier Ramirez, I'll

1253
00:55:51,640 --> 00:55:53,960
Speaker 1: do it, Like give me a three year window. But

1254
00:55:54,000 --> 00:55:55,560
Speaker 1: the reason I'm saying all this is I'm going to

1255
00:55:55,680 --> 00:55:58,800
Speaker 1: build this team that's going to win. Now, I'm gonna

1256
00:55:58,800 --> 00:56:00,920
Speaker 1: want to take a couple shots. Do I want to

1257
00:56:00,960 --> 00:56:03,480
Speaker 1: take a shot on Edward Florence. Yes, I want to

1258
00:56:03,480 --> 00:56:04,839
Speaker 1: take a shot on Ever Florentino. But do I want

1259
00:56:04,880 --> 00:56:06,439
Speaker 1: to take a shot on a guy that's three years

1260
00:56:06,480 --> 00:56:08,439
Speaker 1: away that's going to cost me close to the top

1261
00:56:08,480 --> 00:56:10,680
Speaker 1: one hundreds, Or do I want to take a shot

1262
00:56:10,719 --> 00:56:13,239
Speaker 1: on a guy that has potential to be a top

1263
00:56:13,280 --> 00:56:15,919
Speaker 1: ten prospect that cost me outside of the top two

1264
00:56:15,960 --> 00:56:18,360
Speaker 1: hundred when I've already built my roster. Rohinio Rodriguez is

1265
00:56:18,360 --> 00:56:21,040
Speaker 1: perfect for my type of construction for future valuation. So

1266
00:56:21,120 --> 00:56:23,040
Speaker 1: I really really like him, and I think people should

1267
00:56:23,120 --> 00:56:24,000
Speaker 1: take a look at him.

1268
00:56:24,480 --> 00:56:26,000
Speaker 3: I'm not going to pretend to have like a whole

1269
00:56:26,000 --> 00:56:28,840
Speaker 3: deep dive analysis on Rodriguez, but I think it's a

1270
00:56:28,880 --> 00:56:31,360
Speaker 3: great case and the type of prospect that you describe

1271
00:56:31,400 --> 00:56:33,759
Speaker 3: in terms of like like it's a good type of

1272
00:56:33,800 --> 00:56:37,120
Speaker 3: prospect to be targeting in terms of proximity to the

1273
00:56:37,200 --> 00:56:40,480
Speaker 3: majors and ability, like you can paint a very clear

1274
00:56:40,520 --> 00:56:44,200
Speaker 3: picture of him taking a big leap in rankings this year.

1275
00:56:44,480 --> 00:56:47,319
Speaker 3: Those are the types of guys like prospects are going

1276
00:56:47,320 --> 00:56:50,200
Speaker 3: you're going to miss on prospects aiming high like this,

1277
00:56:50,320 --> 00:56:52,680
Speaker 3: I think is really sharp And like I said, I'm

1278
00:56:52,680 --> 00:56:54,680
Speaker 3: not going to pretend to have like a deep dive here,

1279
00:56:54,719 --> 00:56:57,920
Speaker 3: but yeah, no, I think it's a smart, smart decision.

1280
00:56:57,920 --> 00:57:00,880
Speaker 1: Especially when proximity prospects and dine and stuff are going

1281
00:57:00,920 --> 00:57:02,240
Speaker 1: to get like a little like a lot of people

1282
00:57:02,280 --> 00:57:05,040
Speaker 1: are gonna be more favorable to proximity. This is a

1283
00:57:05,080 --> 00:57:07,840
Speaker 1: guy that is far away but doesn't quite have that

1284
00:57:07,880 --> 00:57:09,560
Speaker 1: he's got to be a top ten guy. But I

1285
00:57:09,680 --> 00:57:12,279
Speaker 1: also get the caveat there are scenarios where someone in

1286
00:57:12,280 --> 00:57:14,920
Speaker 1: the chats like, oh, well, bubbo, okay, you get it.

1287
00:57:15,040 --> 00:57:18,360
Speaker 1: Ronnie Rodriguez is a top twenty valuation from everybody in

1288
00:57:18,400 --> 00:57:21,200
Speaker 1: your league because of said prospect ranker. Okay, that's great,

1289
00:57:21,200 --> 00:57:24,120
Speaker 1: But I think from a universal standpoint, he's not seen

1290
00:57:24,200 --> 00:57:27,040
Speaker 1: in the same space as some of the crazy. Uh,

1291
00:57:27,200 --> 00:57:29,280
Speaker 1: you know, like I said, ever Florentino as an example,

1292
00:57:29,440 --> 00:57:32,520
Speaker 1: and then he's wrapped around these proximity guys. If he's

1293
00:57:32,560 --> 00:57:36,080
Speaker 1: in the forties or fifties, refresh dynasty. You can get

1294
00:57:36,120 --> 00:57:38,440
Speaker 1: him later, and maybe you can even get him if

1295
00:57:38,440 --> 00:57:41,320
Speaker 1: you're trying to rebuild, you can sell some veteran guys.

1296
00:57:42,040 --> 00:57:46,280
Speaker 1: Last target up here, Worm decided, Uh, he's just gonna

1297
00:57:46,320 --> 00:57:48,720
Speaker 1: throw caution to the wind and pick a prospect that

1298
00:57:48,840 --> 00:57:53,840
Speaker 1: is not even a baseball professional baseball player. He's a

1299
00:57:53,960 --> 00:57:54,800
Speaker 1: college player.

1300
00:57:54,880 --> 00:57:56,840
Speaker 3: But he's probably earning some money for nil.

1301
00:57:57,000 --> 00:57:59,680
Speaker 1: Right, that's definitely earning some nil money. That's a good point.

1302
00:58:00,040 --> 00:58:03,200
Speaker 1: He is perceivably the number one overall pick in the

1303
00:58:03,560 --> 00:58:06,360
Speaker 1: this coming year's draft, and you decided to highlight him

1304
00:58:06,400 --> 00:58:10,280
Speaker 1: from a Dynasty target, which I think the intertwining of

1305
00:58:10,320 --> 00:58:12,800
Speaker 1: this is we also need to talk about the valuation

1306
00:58:13,000 --> 00:58:16,520
Speaker 1: of that pick, because not everybody he plays an open

1307
00:58:16,600 --> 00:58:19,959
Speaker 1: universe and some people won't have options till next year.

1308
00:58:20,240 --> 00:58:22,320
Speaker 1: But we can take this guy and the valuation of.

1309
00:58:22,320 --> 00:58:24,720
Speaker 2: The number one overall Dynasty pick in as part of

1310
00:58:24,760 --> 00:58:25,360
Speaker 2: the conversation.

1311
00:58:25,920 --> 00:58:28,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, I wanted to kind of throw Rock Chulawski out

1312
00:58:28,400 --> 00:58:32,200
Speaker 3: here because of the level of prospect he is a

1313
00:58:32,200 --> 00:58:35,160
Speaker 3: lot of evaluators talk about him in the way as

1314
00:58:35,440 --> 00:58:38,480
Speaker 3: like he's the best college shortstop prospect since Troy to Lwitzki,

1315
00:58:38,840 --> 00:58:42,760
Speaker 3: which was twenty five years over twenty twenty over twenty

1316
00:58:42,880 --> 00:58:45,720
Speaker 3: years ago. By the time we get to the draft,

1317
00:58:45,800 --> 00:58:48,760
Speaker 3: and you know, he's a very very good player, very

1318
00:58:48,760 --> 00:58:50,600
Speaker 3: well around. He's going to be the first overall pick

1319
00:58:50,600 --> 00:58:53,560
Speaker 3: in the draft. We are actually like twenty five minutes here,

1320
00:58:53,600 --> 00:58:55,680
Speaker 3: welch as of when we were as record lining out

1321
00:58:55,880 --> 00:58:58,360
Speaker 3: who gets the number one overall pick? And he's a

1322
00:58:58,360 --> 00:59:01,200
Speaker 3: white soccer not yeah, yes, yes, it is the if

1323
00:59:01,200 --> 00:59:03,320
Speaker 3: he's an Oriel or not maybe you know, fingers crossed.

1324
00:59:05,000 --> 00:59:06,960
Speaker 3: He's just an excellent player. It doesn't have a ton

1325
00:59:06,960 --> 00:59:08,800
Speaker 3: of speed, but pretty much just everything else at a

1326
00:59:08,880 --> 00:59:11,680
Speaker 3: high level, more walks and strikeouts. Last year at UCLA,

1327
00:59:11,840 --> 00:59:13,760
Speaker 3: you know, twenty three home runs playing in the Big ten,

1328
00:59:15,160 --> 00:59:19,400
Speaker 3: just like like close to a flawless prospect. That can change, right,

1329
00:59:19,440 --> 00:59:23,160
Speaker 3: like flawless prospects can miss. So there is still riskier

1330
00:59:23,520 --> 00:59:25,360
Speaker 3: picking a guy who's playing in the Big ten, not

1331
00:59:25,520 --> 00:59:27,800
Speaker 3: in the miners or the majors as a target. But

1332
00:59:27,840 --> 00:59:30,440
Speaker 3: I wanted to highlight him because he is such a

1333
00:59:30,440 --> 00:59:32,760
Speaker 3: strong prospect, and I think he's somebody who's going to

1334
00:59:32,760 --> 00:59:35,720
Speaker 3: move very quickly through the miners once he gets drafted.

1335
00:59:36,200 --> 00:59:40,800
Speaker 3: That I think it is worth positioning yourself, depending on

1336
00:59:40,840 --> 00:59:43,920
Speaker 3: how your league does these drafts, to try to acquire him.

1337
00:59:43,960 --> 00:59:48,840
Speaker 3: You know, in one of my dynasty leagues, it's you know,

1338
00:59:49,560 --> 00:59:52,000
Speaker 3: every players have salaries attached them, so there's he's going

1339
00:59:52,040 --> 00:59:54,800
Speaker 3: to be up for a you know, availability in a

1340
00:59:54,840 --> 00:59:58,960
Speaker 3: salary cap draft format the year he's eligible. For others,

1341
00:59:58,960 --> 01:00:00,800
Speaker 3: it might be just having a number one overall pick

1342
01:00:00,880 --> 01:00:03,880
Speaker 3: in at dynasty first year player draft. Whatever it is

1343
01:00:03,920 --> 01:00:06,600
Speaker 3: for you, I think he's a player that is worth

1344
01:00:06,600 --> 01:00:08,840
Speaker 3: positioning yourself for, and I think he's gonna be really good,

1345
01:00:09,240 --> 01:00:11,200
Speaker 3: really quickly. He's that good of a prospect.

1346
01:00:11,720 --> 01:00:15,760
Speaker 1: So the only thing I'll add in here is rock

1347
01:00:16,040 --> 01:00:19,400
Speaker 1: sixty grade hit, sixty grade power, maybe into the sixty

1348
01:00:19,440 --> 01:00:22,400
Speaker 1: fives on both, a plus defender. We still have a

1349
01:00:22,440 --> 01:00:25,520
Speaker 1: college baseball season in front of us. I would, at

1350
01:00:25,560 --> 01:00:28,880
Speaker 1: this moment tell you he is a lock top ten

1351
01:00:29,080 --> 01:00:33,840
Speaker 1: fantasy prospect across most boards. I guess I shouldn't like

1352
01:00:33,920 --> 01:00:36,320
Speaker 1: universally say that. I think most will I think there's

1353
01:00:36,360 --> 01:00:40,439
Speaker 1: a case that Sebastia Walcott kind of goes back and forth.

1354
01:00:40,520 --> 01:00:43,479
Speaker 1: Let's just assume it was Rock versus Walcott. I think

1355
01:00:43,880 --> 01:00:45,480
Speaker 1: there's be a handful of people, and I might be

1356
01:00:45,520 --> 01:00:47,880
Speaker 1: one of those that would consider having Rock over Walcott.

1357
01:00:47,920 --> 01:00:50,000
Speaker 1: So that could mean at this moment, he would be

1358
01:00:50,040 --> 01:00:53,280
Speaker 1: perceivably like a top four I know. I think my

1359
01:00:53,320 --> 01:00:55,480
Speaker 1: buddy James might have I don't know if he does anymore,

1360
01:00:55,520 --> 01:00:57,760
Speaker 1: but has like Walcott at like one or two or whatever.

1361
01:00:58,320 --> 01:01:01,000
Speaker 1: That's a different discussion. But I think Rock is like

1362
01:01:01,040 --> 01:01:04,040
Speaker 1: a top presivably at this moment, a top five prospect

1363
01:01:04,120 --> 01:01:06,560
Speaker 1: in baseball, and he's college and he's proximity and he

1364
01:01:06,600 --> 01:01:09,560
Speaker 1: can move fast, and top five prospects in dynasty are

1365
01:01:09,640 --> 01:01:13,160
Speaker 1: usually right around the top fifty overall. So that is,

1366
01:01:13,560 --> 01:01:15,960
Speaker 1: you know, if you have to give up somebody that

1367
01:01:16,080 --> 01:01:17,840
Speaker 1: is outside the top fifty and you could get the

1368
01:01:17,880 --> 01:01:19,720
Speaker 1: one one, you should do it. It's a slam dunk.

1369
01:01:20,040 --> 01:01:21,960
Speaker 1: Nothing is a slam duck. We have a whole season ahead.

1370
01:01:21,960 --> 01:01:23,919
Speaker 1: Plenty of guys have been those as a universal top

1371
01:01:23,960 --> 01:01:26,320
Speaker 1: guy and then they fail into the season. This is

1372
01:01:26,360 --> 01:01:28,480
Speaker 1: the bet that I'm making. I'm with you, I'm making

1373
01:01:28,520 --> 01:01:30,360
Speaker 1: this on rock. So if you can get that number

1374
01:01:30,360 --> 01:01:32,160
Speaker 1: one overall pick, or you're in some type of universe

1375
01:01:32,160 --> 01:01:33,680
Speaker 1: where you can do it, he's going to be a

1376
01:01:33,680 --> 01:01:35,240
Speaker 1: great bet and he's going to be one of the

1377
01:01:35,320 --> 01:01:39,360
Speaker 1: top top Dynasty picks. And frankly, if he pushes even heavier,

1378
01:01:39,960 --> 01:01:41,800
Speaker 1: I mean, dude could be inside the top twenty five

1379
01:01:42,320 --> 01:01:45,040
Speaker 1: a year from now. That was not an unheard of thing.

1380
01:01:45,040 --> 01:01:45,480
Speaker 2: There you go.

1381
01:01:45,840 --> 01:01:49,080
Speaker 1: Those are sixteen to eight each of us with our

1382
01:01:49,160 --> 01:01:52,400
