We can't 0:00:59.200 --> 0:01:03.960 do do do to time. That's Frank Stamvill. I'm Greg Saus. 0:01:04.120 --> 0:01:07.040 We appreciate you guys joining us here over the two 0:01:07.040 --> 0:01:09.839 hour show. One hour down, one hour to go. Lat 0:01:09.880 --> 0:01:12.400 Sadler will join us at one twenty. We're twenty minutes 0:01:12.400 --> 0:01:14.400 from now. If you're listening on the podcast, I learned 0:01:14.440 --> 0:01:16.880 it makes sense because I was listening at different times, 0:01:16.920 --> 0:01:18.920 you know, Frank, so I get it now, man. But 0:01:19.000 --> 0:01:22.399 Shadow has stayed in the NL West heads over to 0:01:22.440 --> 0:01:24.679 San Diego to be their starting third basement ten years, 0:01:24.680 --> 0:01:27.440 three hundred billion dollars. Does the fantasy value change where 0:01:27.480 --> 0:01:30.759 you drafted him, Frank, I don't think it changes all 0:01:30.760 --> 0:01:32.959 that much. I actually think, uh, I think we're gonna 0:01:33.000 --> 0:01:34.679 see his adp rise a little bit now that he 0:01:34.680 --> 0:01:36.440 has a home, gonna hit in the middle of that 0:01:36.480 --> 0:01:39.120 lineup for the San Diego Patres also saw a tweet 0:01:39.200 --> 0:01:43.199 from Derek Carti which compared the the right handed batter 0:01:43.319 --> 0:01:47.920 wOBA for Baltimore Camden Yards versus San Diego and Petco 0:01:48.080 --> 0:01:51.520 and Camdon Yards was fourteen and Petco was eighteen. So 0:01:51.680 --> 0:01:53.320 really not all that big of a change when it 0:01:53.320 --> 0:01:56.440 comes to wOBA for right handed batters. So, Manny Machado, 0:01:56.560 --> 0:01:58.680 I think we'll be fine. Gregory's a little bit more 0:01:58.720 --> 0:02:02.920 about the motivate seen here or Machado. But I see 0:02:02.920 --> 0:02:05.720 a lot of the same numbers from Eronado that I 0:02:05.840 --> 0:02:09.000 do with Machado, and you're getting dual position eligibility, and 0:02:09.040 --> 0:02:11.440 you're also getting, in my opinion, tend of twelve stone basis. 0:02:11.840 --> 0:02:14.160 So I think he should be going in that ten 0:02:14.240 --> 0:02:16.040 to twelve range. All right, Fair enough, there you even 0:02:16.080 --> 0:02:17.640 a little bit higher. There you go with many Machado 0:02:17.680 --> 0:02:19.320 towards the end of the first round. Other big story 0:02:19.360 --> 0:02:21.920 at the moment, Mike Mustakis signs a one year timillion 0:02:21.919 --> 0:02:24.360 dollar deal with the Brewers with an option for twenty. 0:02:24.480 --> 0:02:26.639 He's expected to not be their starting third baseman again, 0:02:26.680 --> 0:02:29.000 but rather they're starting second base. Frank and I just 0:02:29.080 --> 0:02:31.000 had the discussion last hour. Go back check that out 0:02:31.000 --> 0:02:34.239 on demand. Where we rank Mike Mustakis. I'm a little 0:02:34.240 --> 0:02:35.920 bit higher on him than Frankie is, but we're kind 0:02:35.960 --> 0:02:39.080 of close to the same range. Today's show was supposed 0:02:39.080 --> 0:02:40.480 to be a catcher only show. Of course, we had 0:02:40.520 --> 0:02:42.040 the breaking news, which is important to get to you, 0:02:42.240 --> 0:02:44.079 But for the next hour we are going to spend 0:02:44.120 --> 0:02:47.000 it on catcher rankings. As we said, Lad Settler will 0:02:47.080 --> 0:02:51.280 join us coming up at about one twenty. Now, everybody's 0:02:51.320 --> 0:02:55.440 Tier one, Frank has J c Real, Muto, Gary Sanchez, 0:02:55.520 --> 0:02:57.560 and then I'd say everybody else. Is that is that 0:02:57.600 --> 0:03:01.119 fair to say? In my opinion, that is just Tier 0:03:01.200 --> 0:03:04.000 one and then Tier two starts with this whole big 0:03:04.080 --> 0:03:08.639 next group. Um, look, catcher is still not still huge 0:03:08.720 --> 0:03:11.919 drop off after you know the eighth catcher. Both in 0:03:12.080 --> 0:03:14.160 terms of talent and ADP. The eighth catcher right now 0:03:14.240 --> 0:03:16.079 is Buster Posey. I have nothing to do with and 0:03:16.080 --> 0:03:18.000 I'll tell you why later on the show. What I'm 0:03:18.120 --> 0:03:20.200 trying to understand. That's trying to cut you off, but 0:03:20.240 --> 0:03:22.120 what I'm trying to understand. And I looked at j. 0:03:22.240 --> 0:03:25.639 Tiro Meto's numbers in preparation about the show. They're awesome, 0:03:25.760 --> 0:03:27.799 right like HER's a really really was bet was was 0:03:27.840 --> 0:03:31.880 awesome going to Philadelphia like a ton to absolutely like 0:03:31.960 --> 0:03:34.920 the whole runs should go up. Um has a good average, 0:03:35.840 --> 0:03:38.440 Rianny's runs and everything should go watch there so much 0:03:38.520 --> 0:03:40.440 like about j j C. Really needs in the prime 0:03:40.480 --> 0:03:41.800 of his career. I get it. He's the number one 0:03:41.840 --> 0:03:44.120 catch off the board. You have no disagreement for me, 0:03:45.640 --> 0:03:50.240 say I should sucked last year like he was horrible? 0:03:51.320 --> 0:03:53.160 Did he wind up batting two hundred or now? How 0:03:53.240 --> 0:03:55.320 bad was he? Greg? I WoT you're ready to tell me? 0:03:55.920 --> 0:03:57.440 He was under two one on alright, So he wound 0:03:57.480 --> 0:04:02.200 up batting one eight six luestion. He struck out twenty 0:04:02.320 --> 0:04:06.120 five percent of the time, eighteen bombs. Eighteen bombs of course, 0:04:06.200 --> 0:04:09.160 over just eight ten gimes. Gary Sanche just hits the 0:04:09.200 --> 0:04:12.840 crap out of the ball. But these numbers remind me 0:04:13.040 --> 0:04:17.359 of like William Rosario when he was on the Rockies 0:04:17.400 --> 0:04:21.000 all those years ago, right, like a ton of bombs, 0:04:21.560 --> 0:04:23.920 not this bad of an average, and there was a 0:04:23.960 --> 0:04:25.400 guy that you were drafted. Is like, you know you're 0:04:25.480 --> 0:04:28.719 five ten catcher, but you believe the Gary Sanche has 0:04:28.760 --> 0:04:30.880 and many people believe, not just you, the Gary Sanche 0:04:30.960 --> 0:04:34.080 is in these jat real Metu do hear him trying 0:04:34.120 --> 0:04:35.359 to figure out why, Like, I know what he did 0:04:35.400 --> 0:04:37.280 two years ago. We've had at two seventy eight, had 0:04:37.360 --> 0:04:41.600 thirty three homers. Ninety eight was upside and then the 0:04:41.680 --> 0:04:43.680 next year you see the downside. So that's why I 0:04:43.760 --> 0:04:45.720 like Rio Muto as the first catcher off the board, 0:04:45.760 --> 0:04:48.279 because he's safer. Gary Sanches even be in this here 0:04:48.320 --> 0:04:51.280 he was god awful last year. Luto doesn't have the 0:04:51.400 --> 0:04:56.560 upside that Gary Sanchez head. He doesn't have as much 0:04:56.600 --> 0:04:59.200 as I love Rio Muto and look I can, I 0:04:59.279 --> 0:05:02.200 can ain't the picture for you actually have it over 0:05:02.240 --> 0:05:04.680 on my Patreon if you go on and read about 0:05:04.960 --> 0:05:08.760 the real Muto trade. I mean his splits home versus 0:05:08.800 --> 0:05:12.640 a way outside of Marlins Park We're even more drastic 0:05:12.760 --> 0:05:15.880 than when Christian Yellis was traded away, So I understand 0:05:16.040 --> 0:05:17.720 what he might be able to do. He has the 0:05:17.760 --> 0:05:20.560 ability to hit three, but he's not gonna hit thirty 0:05:20.640 --> 0:05:22.720 three home runs. He doesn't have that kind of upside. 0:05:22.880 --> 0:05:24.960 We saw that upside out of Gary Sanchez. So my 0:05:25.040 --> 0:05:29.760 opinion Santis higher upside, real Muto, safer floor, safer player overall. 0:05:30.360 --> 0:05:32.440 Um I would still draft him as my first catcher 0:05:32.440 --> 0:05:35.039 off the board. Gary Sanchez has a lower downside than 0:05:35.080 --> 0:05:37.960 Real Muto, and we saw that last year. Why is 0:05:38.200 --> 0:05:40.560 the reason he's still in this tier, Greg is just 0:05:40.680 --> 0:05:42.960 because of what he can do, the ability to hit 0:05:43.760 --> 0:05:47.120 to thirty plus home runs. He's the only catcher that 0:05:47.160 --> 0:05:49.400 can do that. And because of that upside in the 0:05:49.480 --> 0:05:51.240 Yankees line up, hitting in the middle of that order 0:05:51.800 --> 0:05:54.480 with as many RBI opportunities as he's gonna have hit 0:05:54.640 --> 0:05:56.920 ninety r b i s two years ago, seventy nine 0:05:57.040 --> 0:05:59.479 runs scored. Because of all those counting stats, I mean, 0:05:59.520 --> 0:06:01.480 you just don't see that from a catcher. That is 0:06:01.520 --> 0:06:04.400 the reason why he is still in this top tier. 0:06:04.480 --> 0:06:06.559 The strikeouts were up last year, but the swinging strike 0:06:06.640 --> 0:06:10.840 rate as actually wasn't, so I do think, you know, 0:06:11.200 --> 0:06:14.159 the batting average was a little bit unlucky. The babbit 0:06:14.320 --> 0:06:16.760 was down last year. The expected batting average was actually 0:06:17.320 --> 0:06:20.719 three compared to his three. Still not good. But Gary 0:06:20.760 --> 0:06:23.880 Sanders a career to fifty two hitter in his brief career, 0:06:24.040 --> 0:06:26.160 so I think he's closer to that. Even if he's 0:06:26.160 --> 0:06:28.760 a two forty hitter to fifty hitter. I think you 0:06:28.800 --> 0:06:33.840 can hit you know, thirty homers seventy runs a d 0:06:34.000 --> 0:06:38.520 r BIS from a catcher. It's it's hard to it's 0:06:38.560 --> 0:06:41.640 hard to dispute those kind of numbers, that kind of 0:06:41.720 --> 0:06:44.039 projection great. So that's why he's still in this tier 0:06:44.279 --> 0:06:47.960 and rightfully should be. I still think JT. Real Mutos 0:06:47.960 --> 0:06:51.080 the number number one catcher. He's the first catcher off 0:06:51.120 --> 0:06:53.120 the board. These guys year one and two. J C 0:06:53.320 --> 0:06:55.880 number one, Gary Sanders number two. Where do you take them? 0:06:57.640 --> 0:06:58.880 Not just like I know the number one, like I 0:06:58.920 --> 0:07:01.640 can tell you where they're where people are taking them. 0:07:01.760 --> 0:07:04.360 I'm not gonna have them because I just don't pay 0:07:04.480 --> 0:07:07.800 that price for a catcher. So Real Muto, you're gonna 0:07:07.880 --> 0:07:11.320 have to You're gonna have to use a fourth round 0:07:11.360 --> 0:07:17.120 price tegnet In in the in the NFBC right now, 0:07:17.240 --> 0:07:21.120 which is two catchers, it's the rotistory format. He's going PICKT. Nine. 0:07:21.520 --> 0:07:24.200 So in a fifteen team league, that's the middle of 0:07:24.240 --> 0:07:26.440 the fourth round. In a twelve team league, that's the 0:07:26.560 --> 0:07:30.880 end of the fourth So that's a territory for J. C. 0:07:31.040 --> 0:07:34.000 Real Muto. I've heard. I've heard some people say that 0:07:34.040 --> 0:07:35.760 he should be going higher than that, that he should 0:07:35.760 --> 0:07:38.960 be a third round pick, because again, these stats away 0:07:39.000 --> 0:07:41.640 from Marlins Park are drastically different. Greg we're talking to 0:07:41.880 --> 0:07:45.040 forty four in Marlins Park in his career with sis 0:07:45.320 --> 0:07:50.280 away re ten batting average eight fifty two ops. The 0:07:50.360 --> 0:07:54.520 isolated power goes up by fifty four points, the babbit 0:07:54.600 --> 0:07:56.560 goes up by almost a hundred and now he goes 0:07:56.600 --> 0:07:58.400 to one of the best hitting hitting ballparks in the 0:07:58.480 --> 0:08:00.720 league in Citizens Bank Park, and he's gonna hit in 0:08:00.760 --> 0:08:03.280 the middle of the lineup with the Philadelphia Philiates, with 0:08:03.320 --> 0:08:07.120 Reese Hopkins potentially Bryce Harper as well. So people are 0:08:07.160 --> 0:08:09.720 making the argument that you're actually getting real Muto at 0:08:09.720 --> 0:08:12.000 of value right now in the fourth round, that he 0:08:12.040 --> 0:08:14.680 should be going in the third round based on you 0:08:14.720 --> 0:08:16.880 know what, he might be able to do my you know, 0:08:17.040 --> 0:08:22.440 realistic projection for real Muto to eighty you know, twenty 0:08:22.520 --> 0:08:25.520 two to twenty five home runs. And he's also going 0:08:25.560 --> 0:08:28.440 to be in that at seventy no no more. Who 0:08:28.760 --> 0:08:30.640 have more than that eighty to eighty five RBIs Because 0:08:30.640 --> 0:08:31.840 he's gonna be in the middle of this line up, 0:08:32.000 --> 0:08:33.480 he doesn't give you as many stolen basis as he 0:08:33.480 --> 0:08:35.200 wants to. He'll probably give you like five to seven 0:08:35.240 --> 0:08:38.880 sotule basis JT. Real Muto, those numbers are hard to argue. 0:08:39.440 --> 0:08:41.360 He's the first catcher. He's going in the fourth round. 0:08:41.400 --> 0:08:47.560 Gary Sanchez is going pick fifty seven, so on average, 0:08:48.160 --> 0:08:50.439 eight to ten picks later than JT. Real Muto, so 0:08:50.559 --> 0:08:52.839 one so one round later, he's still if it's a 0:08:52.880 --> 0:08:55.000 fifteen team league, still lee in the fourth round pick 0:08:55.040 --> 0:09:01.400 fifty seven? How come you don't take them there? Because 0:09:01.400 --> 0:09:03.480 you're just passing up on so much other great talent. 0:09:03.600 --> 0:09:05.280 Who the other guys go? Who are the guys with me? 0:09:05.360 --> 0:09:07.240 Fam is going in the fourth round? Who are the 0:09:07.280 --> 0:09:09.599 guys going between J. C. Realmuto and Gary Sanches? Like? 0:09:09.640 --> 0:09:15.480 What's that group? Carlos Correa, Patrick corbin Au handing Us 0:09:15.480 --> 0:09:18.000 Squarez and James Paxson. Those are the players going in between. 0:09:20.800 --> 0:09:25.360 Is awesome. Squarretz is awesome. It's awesome, and also will 0:09:25.400 --> 0:09:27.600 plays in a great ballpark inside of a great lineup. 0:09:28.640 --> 0:09:33.280 I don't take these guys because I I can't pass up. Also, 0:09:33.360 --> 0:09:35.360 I mean, look captured, they're more prone to injury than 0:09:35.360 --> 0:09:37.120 any other position. Sure, and think about all like the 0:09:37.160 --> 0:09:39.920 foul balls that are being fouled off them. H Gary 0:09:40.000 --> 0:09:43.200 Sanchez was injured last year. He only played eighty nine games. 0:09:43.280 --> 0:09:44.920 He's yet to play more than a d and twenty 0:09:44.960 --> 0:09:46.960 two games in any season, so you have to worry 0:09:47.000 --> 0:09:49.240 about that as well. And there were just you know, 0:09:49.280 --> 0:09:51.560 there are some catchers, uh, I like later on, I'd 0:09:51.640 --> 0:09:55.280 rather wait. I'd rather take the three to five round 0:09:55.320 --> 0:09:58.520 difference and get a guy like Wilson Ramos or he 0:09:58.600 --> 0:10:00.040 has mindy ground out a little bit later on on, 0:10:00.360 --> 0:10:03.240 or like even a Wilson co Tratrist to a certain extent. 0:10:03.360 --> 0:10:06.560 But um, yeah, I'd rather just wait and get one 0:10:06.600 --> 0:10:09.839 of those guys as my catchers. Um, it's just I 0:10:10.080 --> 0:10:12.320 can't pass up on some of the players that are 0:10:12.360 --> 0:10:14.280 going in that range, and some of some guys that 0:10:14.280 --> 0:10:16.839 are even going after them Ozzy Albis, James and Tommy 0:10:16.920 --> 0:10:19.079 Fan as of right now, we love Tommy Fan in 0:10:19.200 --> 0:10:22.040 rodo you need five outfielders, you're gonna take a starting 0:10:22.120 --> 0:10:26.800 catcher before potentially your second outfielder. That's why I can't 0:10:26.800 --> 0:10:29.040 do it. It's lineup construction. There's people that can pull 0:10:29.080 --> 0:10:32.520 it off. I've seen, you know, I've seen people win 0:10:32.960 --> 0:10:36.599 drafting catcher early. I've never been one to do it. 0:10:36.800 --> 0:10:40.040 I can't take a catcher earlier than the let's say 0:10:40.040 --> 0:10:43.679 eighth round, that'll be you know, eight nine round, that's 0:10:43.679 --> 0:10:47.679 when I'm gonna target my first catcher. Right. What about you? 0:10:47.720 --> 0:10:51.080 Will you ever own one of these guys? I don't 0:10:51.120 --> 0:10:53.679 want to say never, dude, to be honest with you, 0:10:55.080 --> 0:10:58.760 it's it's ultimately gonna be as a look at the 0:10:58.800 --> 0:11:05.160 labor results here, Um, it's ultimately going to be who's there? 0:11:06.720 --> 0:11:09.559 You know? Um? Let me here. We're all right. So 0:11:09.600 --> 0:11:11.520 we're gonna have flag coming up in a couple of 0:11:11.520 --> 0:11:14.800 minutes with the dr roto in the fourth round, the 0:11:14.880 --> 0:11:16.640 end of the fourth round. That's exactly where he went 0:11:16.679 --> 0:11:19.000 in the toutward draft in hole okay, see end of 0:11:19.040 --> 0:11:24.520 the fourth wife. So compared to n FBC ADP actually 0:11:24.559 --> 0:11:26.040 got some of a discount there. He went to pick 0:11:26.080 --> 0:11:29.040 fifty seven the end of the fourth round, Gary Sanchez 0:11:29.120 --> 0:11:31.520 middle of the seventh. The labor went at the end 0:11:31.559 --> 0:11:33.400 of the fifth round in the tout war draft in hold, 0:11:33.440 --> 0:11:37.520 so he went at pig See, which is still later 0:11:37.600 --> 0:11:39.920 than his ADP right now. So this he's there in 0:11:39.960 --> 0:11:41.440 the seventh round, like I would take him. I had 0:11:41.480 --> 0:11:42.480 no issue at the pick in the middle of the 0:11:42.480 --> 0:11:45.360 seventh beautiful, but listen to the guys, what don't He 0:11:45.440 --> 0:11:50.000 went around though, Scooter Jeannette, who just talked about Mitch Hannagher, 0:11:50.880 --> 0:11:55.520 A J. Pollock. Those are the hitters, Nelson Cruz, tr 0:11:55.640 --> 0:11:58.120 as Shaw, those are the hitters. And this is why 0:11:58.200 --> 0:11:59.679 I can't take This is why I can't take the 0:11:59.760 --> 0:12:02.439 better And you're like those hitters like I'd rather probably 0:12:02.440 --> 0:12:05.240 have them. The Gary Sanchez people freak out about the 0:12:05.240 --> 0:12:07.280 catcher position. They want to have one of the elite options. 0:12:07.320 --> 0:12:08.760 And if you're one of those people, like this is 0:12:08.800 --> 0:12:10.360 where you're gonna have to pay up for. It's for 0:12:10.480 --> 0:12:13.440 either Rio Muto or Gary Sanchez. It's the fourth fifth 0:12:13.520 --> 0:12:16.400 round price tag. But again in the tout words draft 0:12:16.480 --> 0:12:19.160 in hold. You went ahead of Bogar's he want ahead 0:12:19.160 --> 0:12:22.400 of Lorenzo Kane. You want to get ahead of HANDIGERI, 0:12:23.080 --> 0:12:27.600 Heno Suarez, Michael kinfordo Ad, Alberto Monazi, David Dahl, Ozzy 0:12:27.640 --> 0:12:31.160 Albi's on ahead of all those guys. And then Gary 0:12:31.200 --> 0:12:33.840 Sanche is just one ahead of you know, he want 0:12:33.840 --> 0:12:37.319 ahead of David Price, her Man Marquees, Zach Ranky, Zach Wheeler. 0:12:38.160 --> 0:12:40.079 There's some proven talent there that you're passing up on. 0:12:40.160 --> 0:12:41.840 I can't do it. By the way, the White Sox 0:12:41.880 --> 0:12:46.600 have released Yonder, Alonso Um and John Jay. No they 0:12:46.640 --> 0:12:51.079 have it. I'm reading. No, they haven't say I'm just kidding. 0:12:51.480 --> 0:12:54.360 I'm just kidding all that just for Machado. All right, 0:12:54.400 --> 0:12:56.720 there you go, and it didn't happen. Um sit here, Leo, 0:12:56.760 --> 0:12:59.000 Gary Sances. Two of your to put the two top guys, 0:13:00.000 --> 0:13:05.839 top guys out the Wrestling Reference or Frank um outside 0:13:06.559 --> 0:13:09.040 a real musical and with Shado. A lot of the 0:13:09.160 --> 0:13:10.640 names that in your Tier two, which you can read 0:13:10.679 --> 0:13:16.160 on Frank's Patreon right now, Wilson Roams, Monty Grandale, Salvador Perez, Wilson, 0:13:16.240 --> 0:13:19.240 and trays Yeada Molina, Buster Posey, Like, this crew of 0:13:19.360 --> 0:13:23.559 dudes has been around for like twenty years. These six 0:13:23.760 --> 0:13:28.160 guys the same You're only talking about Yadia Molinas. Of 0:13:28.200 --> 0:13:31.280 these guys have been the same guys forever. And this 0:13:31.400 --> 0:13:32.839 is the tier that I'm gonna live in to get 0:13:32.880 --> 0:13:35.559 my first catcher, makes sense. I'm gonna get next, next, 0:13:36.200 --> 0:13:39.959 Randal Perez, all right, and even Yadia Malina to a 0:13:40.000 --> 0:13:42.280 certain extent because he's just get him. Like, I think 0:13:42.320 --> 0:13:46.360 he gives you similar production to guys like Wilson Tariers 0:13:46.360 --> 0:13:49.880 and Buster Posey. And it's because of the name value, 0:13:49.920 --> 0:13:54.560 especially with Wilson Trayers that he goes much higher than 0:13:54.600 --> 0:13:58.040 a guy like and Yadia Malina had like all season surgery. 0:13:58.160 --> 0:14:01.080 You know, he's not he's like a million years old. 0:14:01.240 --> 0:14:03.400 But every single year people sleep on him. And every 0:14:03.440 --> 0:14:06.640 single year Yahia Melina puts up numbers, and you know, 0:14:06.679 --> 0:14:09.760 people forget about him. Wilson Ramos as of right now, 0:14:09.960 --> 0:14:13.240 I have as my my third ranked cash or Greg 0:14:13.559 --> 0:14:16.320 and look, he's going over to Milwaukee. It's a better 0:14:16.600 --> 0:14:18.920 hitter's ballpark than whether he was at with the Los 0:14:18.960 --> 0:14:22.760 Angeles Dodgers. But he's he's safe, he's a safe power 0:14:22.880 --> 0:14:25.760 source from a catcher position, maybe one of the safest. 0:14:25.800 --> 0:14:28.720 I'll say you know him in Salvador Perez and Gary Schances, 0:14:28.760 --> 0:14:31.600 those are the safest power options from the catcher position. 0:14:31.800 --> 0:14:33.840 Has monte Garandel at least twenty two home runs in 0:14:33.880 --> 0:14:36.600 three straight seasons. He has seventy three home runs since 0:14:37.840 --> 0:14:41.520 that is second most among catchers, behind only Salvador Perez. 0:14:42.160 --> 0:14:44.680 Forty hard hit rate last year was the highest of 0:14:44.760 --> 0:14:47.160 his career. Always has good walk rate, so you could 0:14:47.240 --> 0:14:49.360 draft him in your O B P league, Greg, you 0:14:49.400 --> 0:14:51.840 can draft him in head to head points leagues because 0:14:51.880 --> 0:14:54.320 he walks a lot. The strikeout rate a little bit high. 0:14:54.480 --> 0:14:56.560 You know, he's in the mid twenties in terms of 0:14:56.680 --> 0:15:00.280 k rate, but twenty three hey rate was actually lois 0:15:01.600 --> 0:15:06.640 last year. Greg, So grand um safe bed for power. 0:15:06.960 --> 0:15:10.600 I have his projection, you know to forty three home runs, 0:15:10.840 --> 0:15:12.800 sixty five r b I s. You get that from 0:15:12.800 --> 0:15:15.200 a catcher, do you feel pretty good about it? And 0:15:15.280 --> 0:15:17.560 he goes over to Milwaukee too, Yeah, Milwaukee's obviously spot 0:15:17.600 --> 0:15:18.560 you want to be in. One of the reasons that 0:15:18.600 --> 0:15:21.000 we both really like Um, we both really like Mike 0:15:21.040 --> 0:15:23.480 Gustakas as well. You're in a really good lineup, You're 0:15:23.480 --> 0:15:25.400 in a really good park. You're gonna play every day. 0:15:25.840 --> 0:15:27.560 Like that's a lot of at also right, Like you're 0:15:27.600 --> 0:15:29.760 obviously a better ballpark than you were in l A. 0:15:30.320 --> 0:15:32.760 And you don't really have to worry about the Austin 0:15:32.880 --> 0:15:35.480 Barnes factor anymore, which is which is a thing going 0:15:35.560 --> 0:15:38.400 into last season if you can remember, Um, Yes, Monny 0:15:38.440 --> 0:15:40.640 Grandalla is one of those guys. And I've owned Gondela 0:15:40.640 --> 0:15:43.920 a lot and he's warning year, didn't you I did. 0:15:44.160 --> 0:15:46.280 I've had the last couple of years in different leagues, 0:15:46.720 --> 0:15:50.680 but yes, I've never actually owned him. Is one of 0:15:50.840 --> 0:15:55.880 the streakiest hitters in all of baseball. Better for Roto, 0:15:56.240 --> 0:15:58.080 much better for Roto. I mean he just wanted like again, 0:15:58.120 --> 0:16:01.400 I'm not We talked about stats and like other things 0:16:02.160 --> 0:16:05.520 and like I had to look into what other things 0:16:05.560 --> 0:16:07.360 are in place, and maybe some of them were like 0:16:07.520 --> 0:16:09.720 the yips that Grendal had to deal with them whatnot, 0:16:10.200 --> 0:16:13.800 but the Austin bars always on his ass, worry about that. 0:16:13.960 --> 0:16:16.160 In Milwaukee, they signed him to you know, it was 0:16:16.200 --> 0:16:17.400 only a one year deal, but they gave him a 0:16:17.400 --> 0:16:18.880 good amount of money, and money they wanted him to 0:16:18.880 --> 0:16:21.960 be the catcher, and they've consistently made it known throughout 0:16:21.960 --> 0:16:24.360 the off season they want no holes in the lineup. 0:16:24.600 --> 0:16:26.320 Why did they go out sign a guy like Michaelsaki 0:16:26.360 --> 0:16:29.120 is absolutely they want no holes. I'm looking at this 0:16:29.160 --> 0:16:31.160 line up? Does bother you? Does it bother the Grandell 0:16:31.240 --> 0:16:35.560 is probably about what eight seven? Does that bother you? No? 0:16:35.800 --> 0:16:37.760 Because look Luke who's bating ahead of him, He's still 0:16:37.760 --> 0:16:40.160 gonna have great RBI opportunities right ahead of him, four 0:16:40.240 --> 0:16:43.760 or five or four the four or five six just 0:16:43.840 --> 0:16:50.320 ahead him, Travis Shaw, Ryan Brown, Michaelsakis, who catch the 0:16:50.360 --> 0:16:53.480 picture Amy catches right now. Yeah, you know, I don't 0:16:53.480 --> 0:16:56.600 even think it's a worry either. I think Grandell was good, 0:16:56.720 --> 0:16:58.680 like in rodal Leagues, like, I love the honest money 0:16:58.720 --> 0:17:02.320 Grandell I just just bothers me too much in points leaves, 0:17:02.680 --> 0:17:07.520 That's all. But you know here there's nothing wrong with him. Yeah, 0:17:07.680 --> 0:17:10.440 something wrong. I still I still kind of like, alright, 0:17:10.440 --> 0:17:13.840 we come back, We'll get back to like Wilson Romols 0:17:13.880 --> 0:17:17.359 and some catchers in this tier. Absolutely why I hate 0:17:17.400 --> 0:17:21.440 bust and Posey let a strong word tot wars have 0:17:21.520 --> 0:17:30.760 Vanty Machado stick around more right after us, Daily Rodo 0:17:30.960 --> 0:17:34.760 dot com learned from the game's best DFS players.

My name 0:18:00.680 --> 0:18:03.359 is Lily. My mom and dad used to fight about 0:18:03.480 --> 0:18:06.640 money all the time. Then one day I heard them 0:18:06.720 --> 0:18:10.560 talking about this guy, some uncle I never knew, called 0:18:10.720 --> 0:18:14.600 Uncle Sam. Well, they say, this Uncle Sam guy wanted 0:18:14.640 --> 0:18:18.159 them to pay him like a gazillion dollars, and they 0:18:18.200 --> 0:18:21.400 didn't have a gazillion dollars. So they called this company 0:18:21.480 --> 0:18:24.440 they heard on the radio called the Tax Doctor, and 0:18:24.560 --> 0:18:28.120 the tax Doctor worked with Uncle Sam's people. I think 0:18:28.200 --> 0:18:31.680 they're called the I R S and they're able to 0:18:31.800 --> 0:18:33.760 work it out. So my mom and dad didn't have 0:18:33.880 --> 0:18:36.960 to pay Uncle Sam very much money at all. So 0:18:37.280 --> 0:18:40.000 now mom and dad are happy, and I'm happy to 0:18:40.560 --> 0:18:44.159 thanks Tax Doctor.

If we 0:19:10.000 --> 0:19:12.560 paid him a bunch, he's been suspended, he's got an 0:19:12.600 --> 0:19:14.800 injury history, he's got all these miles on it. At 0:19:14.960 --> 0:19:16.800 the irony is that they put the miles on him. 0:19:17.400 --> 0:19:19.560 From this dealer standpoint, well, yeah, you gave him the 0:19:19.600 --> 0:19:22.440 ball four hundred times. Obviously's got a lot of miles. 0:19:22.520 --> 0:19:25.600 Help you get to the playoffs. Saturday's eight am Eastern 0:19:25.680 --> 0:19:28.959 on the Fantasy Sports networking on your popular podcast. Providers 0:19:29.800 --> 0:19:32.320 joined the Experts live on the air every day by 0:19:32.359 --> 0:19:35.840 calling in. At April four, seven nine to join the 0:19:35.960 --> 0:19:49.360 Fantasy Sports Network, Fantasy Best Friends Forever, Fantasy Sports Radio Network. 0:19:50.119 --> 0:19:53.479 Frank Stample, Like Rex Suspan, we are joined right now 0:19:53.600 --> 0:19:56.160 by the road O Gun, one of our favorite High 0:19:56.160 --> 0:19:58.160 six players we have to chat with. It's flat Setler 0:19:58.240 --> 0:20:01.840 was up Flood how much, gentlemen, how are you doing today? 0:20:02.160 --> 0:20:05.760 Not too badly? Not too badly? Eies many Machado day. 0:20:06.080 --> 0:20:07.879 So let's start off right off the bat. What do 0:20:07.960 --> 0:20:09.200 you think of the contract, what do you think of 0:20:09.240 --> 0:20:13.240 the fit, and what does it do to his fantasy value? Man? 0:20:13.359 --> 0:20:15.440 I mean to be honest, I don't think the fantasy 0:20:15.560 --> 0:20:18.959 value changes all that much. You'll probably see a lot 0:20:19.000 --> 0:20:22.000 of people discussing today about how Petco is not a 0:20:22.040 --> 0:20:24.480 great hitting park. Uh. The one thing that is true, 0:20:24.880 --> 0:20:27.200 the Division definitely is tough. You've got some really good 0:20:27.240 --> 0:20:30.400 pitchers there. Obviously Machado got a taste of that last year. 0:20:30.520 --> 0:20:33.000 But it'll balance out a little bit with a couple 0:20:33.040 --> 0:20:35.080 of trips to cores there. So as far as this 0:20:35.160 --> 0:20:37.920 fantasy value is concerned, I don't think it it changes 0:20:37.960 --> 0:20:39.960 all that much. You're still looking at a guy. It's 0:20:40.000 --> 0:20:43.280 gonna get your thirty homers, hundred RBIs um, maybe ten 0:20:43.359 --> 0:20:46.400 steals and a decent batting average. So all in all, 0:20:47.000 --> 0:20:49.520 fifteen to twenty two overall, I think is still a 0:20:49.560 --> 0:20:53.280 good price point for for him. What's going on, Glad, 0:20:53.320 --> 0:20:56.240 it's Frank Stanfel here. I I thought that, you know, 0:20:56.320 --> 0:20:58.640
