I am Greg Susman. It's going on about 0:01:12.800 --> 0:01:16.440 how's it going? Happy Friday, Happy Nixton Zel Day, Gregy 0:01:16.959 --> 0:01:19.119 x L days. He as well. I'd sleep last night. 0:01:19.600 --> 0:01:23.679 It's so great, you know. I slept. I slept great. 0:01:23.760 --> 0:01:26.280 I had a one dream that I remembered where I 0:01:26.319 --> 0:01:29.120 was on a bus with my mom and sister, on 0:01:29.240 --> 0:01:32.280 a bus right as bus my mom and sister. And 0:01:33.400 --> 0:01:35.280 last night I had a few beers here with a 0:01:35.280 --> 0:01:37.640 friend that it randomly saw us during the NBA Fantasy 0:01:37.640 --> 0:01:41.920 Hour and then I went home. We had cheestaks for dinner. 0:01:42.000 --> 0:01:46.080 It was like delicious, right messy night for so I 0:01:46.160 --> 0:01:48.840 had a dream and the bust of my mom saying 0:01:48.840 --> 0:01:50.600 that I needed to go on the thirty two for 0:01:50.800 --> 0:01:54.520 thirty diet isn't the real thing? I was like, do 0:01:54.520 --> 0:01:56.720 you know who you're talking to? It's your's it's me. 0:01:56.880 --> 0:01:59.280 I'm going to go do on this third what? And 0:01:59.320 --> 0:02:01.240 it was like you have to like the gym like 0:02:01.360 --> 0:02:04.280 thirty two times in thirty days, and like are you out? 0:02:04.640 --> 0:02:07.640 What is wrong with you? Terribly? What are you kidding me? 0:02:07.680 --> 0:02:10.000 Would anyone do that? You gotta do it for the wedding? 0:02:10.600 --> 0:02:14.960 Like this, this isn't happening. So I welcome angry, I dit, 0:02:15.320 --> 0:02:18.280 but it's not real. Sound good? Have you ever heard 0:02:18.280 --> 0:02:22.000 the term Greg shed to wed? I? I have? Yes? 0:02:22.360 --> 0:02:24.800 Are you shedding to wed right now? Greg? I'm not 0:02:24.880 --> 0:02:27.160 on the white at the moment. Given the three beers 0:02:27.360 --> 0:02:30.440 and cheese steak I had last night, Frank oh Man, 0:02:30.560 --> 0:02:32.680 and we're just gonna pick up where you left off 0:02:32.760 --> 0:02:35.679 last night tonight. Maybe he'll say it's gonna be a 0:02:35.680 --> 0:02:38.200 fun night night. Well should be, it should be a 0:02:38.200 --> 0:02:43.359 good time. Um, I'm a little we'll see how it goes. 0:02:45.280 --> 0:02:49.480 So goes all before the show officially starts four, we 0:02:49.480 --> 0:02:52.480 can get into waiver wires. Twelve team leagues, fifteen team leagues, 0:02:52.680 --> 0:02:55.760 we'll talk about nixons ll a little bit. Did what how? 0:02:55.760 --> 0:02:58.600 Did you sleep very well? Which is a change of pace. 0:02:58.720 --> 0:03:01.720 It's good I slept well. Um, if anyone was listening 0:03:01.760 --> 0:03:03.480 to the Morning After, I feel like you have to 0:03:03.480 --> 0:03:06.600 separate myself a little bit from you, Greg, because I 0:03:06.639 --> 0:03:09.920 am now being lumped into the things that you like 0:03:10.919 --> 0:03:14.160 means that I like them. And Gabe was talking a 0:03:14.160 --> 0:03:17.720 lot about how the assumption was that I also liked 0:03:17.760 --> 0:03:23.040 Maroon five along with you. That's not the case. I'm starting. 0:03:23.040 --> 0:03:25.800 I'm starting to get lumped in with the with the 0:03:25.840 --> 0:03:30.840 pop top forties, Greg Susman musical choice that is just 0:03:30.880 --> 0:03:35.040 not true. I don't know man gave speaks gospel. I'm 0:03:35.080 --> 0:03:39.120 all over the place. Ye Metallic six or seven times. 0:03:39.200 --> 0:03:41.520 I would love a Metallic a halftime show, I said, well, 0:03:41.560 --> 0:03:43.360 but I understand what they try to do with the 0:03:43.360 --> 0:03:46.120 halftime show. They're trying trying to appeal to everybody who's 0:03:46.160 --> 0:03:49.000 not a football fan just sitting there and watched. It's 0:03:49.000 --> 0:03:51.440 not for us. I don't watch it. I watched wrestling 0:03:51.440 --> 0:03:55.480 instead this year. It was very good. I don't know, 0:03:55.480 --> 0:03:57.720 I gotta start to establish something here because everyone's starting 0:03:57.720 --> 0:04:01.160 to think that I liked Taylor Swift and I like, 0:04:01.240 --> 0:04:03.240 come round five. It's just not true. Guys. Come on, 0:04:03.800 --> 0:04:06.400 I don't know. I gotta establish myself somehow. So I'm like, 0:04:09.520 --> 0:04:12.040 that's all. I had to get that off my chest. 0:04:12.240 --> 0:04:13.520 Do you feel like he got off your test now? 0:04:14.280 --> 0:04:17.280 Feeling a little bit better? All right, so let's um, 0:04:17.600 --> 0:04:19.920 it's way over wide Friday. There is no Michael Florio today. 0:04:19.920 --> 0:04:21.600 He was too busy for us. Remember his friends were 0:04:21.600 --> 0:04:23.000 coming like an hour or two, so we had to 0:04:23.040 --> 0:04:26.400 get ready, right. Yeah, I believe that was what it is. 0:04:26.440 --> 0:04:27.920 He was at the Angels game last night. I saw 0:04:27.920 --> 0:04:30.680 a bunch of videos. I retweeted the video. I am 0:04:30.720 --> 0:04:34.200 pretty jealous that you got to see the Handsel Robusts 0:04:34.279 --> 0:04:38.159 Undertaker thing live because that looked awesome. The music was 0:04:38.240 --> 0:04:40.120 blasting to undertake your feel like that would just get 0:04:40.160 --> 0:04:42.040 me pumped. Cool, that would get me pumped. Files at 0:04:42.040 --> 0:04:43.600 the game. He also got to see my Trout home run. 0:04:43.680 --> 0:04:46.680 So that's cool. It's not cool. He texted me last 0:04:46.680 --> 0:04:48.960 week and said, I'm going to Toronto and the Angels. 0:04:49.160 --> 0:04:53.839 I get to see Trout versus Vlad Glad was not 0:04:53.920 --> 0:04:57.600 in the lineup. Oh poor Mike. That's what you get 0:04:57.600 --> 0:05:02.040 from ditchings. Sorry Mike, Sorry, but he's not here today. 0:05:02.120 --> 0:05:04.840 He's not here. An that you're definitely join us an 0:05:04.839 --> 0:05:07.800 hour too, also, an hour too. It's gonna be fun. 0:05:08.160 --> 0:05:10.480 It's gonna be a fun hour too, because we're gonna 0:05:10.480 --> 0:05:14.800 play a game today and we're gonna have somebody when 0:05:14.800 --> 0:05:16.919 tickets to the Yankee game tonight. We have tickets to 0:05:16.920 --> 0:05:21.120 give away on the show. I am the first time. Yeah, 0:05:21.240 --> 0:05:24.040 you want do you do? You want the tickets? Well? 0:05:24.040 --> 0:05:27.039 Can we can? We bring everybody? Uh, there are four tickets. 0:05:27.720 --> 0:05:29.480 Now you want to separate you want to separate them 0:05:29.480 --> 0:05:30.920 in two and two and you want to give somebody 0:05:30.920 --> 0:05:36.400 four tickets away. Um, there's a good question. I agree, 0:05:37.400 --> 0:05:41.680 m M, I guess it. Let's let's basics off of well, 0:05:41.720 --> 0:05:43.039 what are you gonna do? Are you gonna give them away? 0:05:43.040 --> 0:05:44.400 You're gonna do some kind of trivia or some kind 0:05:44.400 --> 0:05:50.000 of so pre planned for today's show. I have an 0:05:50.000 --> 0:05:53.240 around the horn set up for you and Chris to 0:05:53.240 --> 0:05:55.600 play against each other. I have set this up. I 0:05:55.600 --> 0:05:58.400 have all my questions here with my answers. I was 0:05:58.440 --> 0:06:01.480 going to include Alex in the game as well, and 0:06:01.520 --> 0:06:07.320 I can include the audience participant as well, or I 0:06:07.360 --> 0:06:17.520 could have whoever calls in try to. It's got a 0:06:17.560 --> 0:06:21.680 text message, so we'll help with this during the break. 0:06:23.000 --> 0:06:25.360 All right, we have an update. We're away. We're gonnaway 0:06:25.400 --> 0:06:28.000 Yankee tickets. I have still definitely give it away. We're 0:06:28.000 --> 0:06:32.640 definitely giving away Ankazy. It was a great up date. Um, 0:06:32.720 --> 0:06:34.800 we will definitely have away a tickets. An hour to 0:06:35.120 --> 0:06:36.840 the game will be adjusted. I have a hole around 0:06:36.839 --> 0:06:38.760 the horse set up. It's gonna be a blast um, 0:06:39.160 --> 0:06:41.560 and I think we might I might leave out adventure 0:06:41.640 --> 0:06:44.200 and just have somebody versus you and if they beat you, 0:06:44.400 --> 0:06:46.919 they get the tickets. That's going on. Want of thinking, Okay, Yankees, 0:06:46.960 --> 0:06:49.800 Twinston I too. It's fun game, James Paxson, potentially the 0:06:49.839 --> 0:06:52.720 return of Miguel and Harst. So it's gonna be awesome, 0:06:52.760 --> 0:06:54.599 good Yankee tickets. So we'll let you know when we 0:06:54.680 --> 0:06:58.240 open the phone. Lines for that, so get ready for 0:06:58.240 --> 0:06:59.839 it to be really fun. So we really really fun show. 0:07:00.680 --> 0:07:02.120 Get to the waibor wire before we get any of that, 0:07:02.160 --> 0:07:05.359 though already on the waiver wire. Not really. There's nobody 0:07:05.400 --> 0:07:07.599 that you're gonna spend a jillion dollars on, I don't 0:07:07.720 --> 0:07:10.440 think besides one name that really stands out if he's 0:07:10.440 --> 0:07:13.640 available in your league, and that for me is Alex Verduga. 0:07:14.000 --> 0:07:15.840 We talked a lot about these guys that we're gonna 0:07:15.840 --> 0:07:18.200 mention today on the show throughout the week, but now 0:07:18.240 --> 0:07:20.080 we're gonna tell you, like who you could drop for them, 0:07:20.120 --> 0:07:22.000 how much you want to spend on that stuff like that. 0:07:22.440 --> 0:07:25.560 So Verdugo is probably the number one guy on the 0:07:25.600 --> 0:07:28.800 list for me here with a j pollock out indefinitely 0:07:28.920 --> 0:07:34.400 essentially with this elbow injury, Verdugo at own in Yahoo 0:07:34.480 --> 0:07:37.120 leagues right now. How much of your budget do you 0:07:37.120 --> 0:07:41.640 think you should be spending on Alex Roduga? I can 0:07:41.720 --> 0:07:48.480 see going let's say twelve to on the aggressive side. 0:07:48.520 --> 0:07:51.960 I still do have some concerns about his game overall. 0:07:52.000 --> 0:07:53.720 I think he's a great player. I think he's gonna 0:07:54.480 --> 0:07:58.000 right now. He's a guy that as a plus hit tool, 0:07:58.040 --> 0:07:59.840 he's gonna hit for a batting average. He's gonna hit 0:07:59.880 --> 0:08:01.600 for a lot of doubles. I don't know if the 0:08:01.640 --> 0:08:03.400 power is there yet. He strikes me as a guy 0:08:03.440 --> 0:08:06.040 that as he gets older, will grow into his power 0:08:06.600 --> 0:08:08.960 as long as he performs. I'm not really worried about 0:08:09.000 --> 0:08:11.800 aj Pollock because Polck has always hurt. Even if he 0:08:11.800 --> 0:08:13.840 comes back after the chance that he reinjures himself. And 0:08:13.840 --> 0:08:16.200 if Alex Verdugo just takes off while Pollock is gone 0:08:16.320 --> 0:08:18.119 and he's gonna find a way to stay in the lineup, 0:08:18.240 --> 0:08:20.320 They're gonna find ways for him to stay in the 0:08:20.360 --> 0:08:23.360 lineup for as long as possible if he is performing, 0:08:23.360 --> 0:08:25.360 and I think he can. He's holding his own against 0:08:25.400 --> 0:08:27.080 lefty so far this year. I know the Dodgers like 0:08:27.120 --> 0:08:30.240 to do lots of splitsy type things, but overall, I 0:08:30.320 --> 0:08:33.080 do like his game. I expect batting average. Obviously, there 0:08:33.120 --> 0:08:34.920 could be counting stats if he's hitting in the middle 0:08:35.120 --> 0:08:37.520 of the Dodgers lineup. He stole a base the other day, 0:08:37.559 --> 0:08:39.440 so that maybe that's another wrinkle that he's adding to 0:08:39.480 --> 0:08:42.400 his game. Overall, I don't know that the power will 0:08:42.440 --> 0:08:45.360 be vast at first, but a couple of years down 0:08:45.360 --> 0:08:48.600 the line. Potentially it is you want to be aggressive, 0:08:48.679 --> 0:08:52.840 Greg Um, Well, if you're in a five outfieler league 0:08:52.880 --> 0:08:54.800 and really need an outfaller, I could see going higher 0:08:54.800 --> 0:08:56.440 than that, but that's kind of where I settle in 0:08:56.480 --> 0:09:00.400 right now. So yeah, I think that for to go 0:09:00.679 --> 0:09:02.240 you really lead it out right that if he hits, 0:09:02.240 --> 0:09:03.520 he's going to stay in the line up. Some of 0:09:03.520 --> 0:09:06.880 the carter keeping really need to start doing a sap um. 0:09:06.920 --> 0:09:12.040 But we wanted him. We said before you run of 0:09:12.040 --> 0:09:15.079 the waiver wire, if anybody got hurt, and then somebody didn't, 0:09:15.559 --> 0:09:17.439 I know, we're now done with April. You're into the 0:09:17.480 --> 0:09:20.960 second month. Ten percent. Is that enough? That's my question? 0:09:21.120 --> 0:09:24.480 Is it enough? Should you go closer to if he 0:09:24.600 --> 0:09:28.440 the must own? I think it comes down to need again, 0:09:28.520 --> 0:09:30.520 which is what I said. You know, if you need 0:09:30.559 --> 0:09:32.120 if you play in a five outfielder league and you 0:09:32.200 --> 0:09:33.840 really need an atfeeler, even if you don't play in 0:09:33.880 --> 0:09:35.520 the five outfield of the league, if if it turns 0:09:35.520 --> 0:09:37.600 out you know you had Stanton on your team, or 0:09:37.640 --> 0:09:39.520 you just have guys that are slumping and it's just 0:09:39.520 --> 0:09:41.240 not working out right now, you need an out feeler. 0:09:41.280 --> 0:09:44.000 I could see going above fifteen percent, maybe closer to 0:09:44.360 --> 0:09:47.920 that twenty percent that Gregg's talking about. But it feels 0:09:47.960 --> 0:09:49.760 like every week we have at least one or two 0:09:49.760 --> 0:09:51.480 players that we come on here and we talk about 0:09:52.679 --> 0:09:56.360 ten percent. If you're gonna be aggressive, the thing is 0:09:56.400 --> 0:09:58.160 you can't You can't afford to do it every week, 0:09:58.640 --> 0:10:00.439 So you kind of have to pick and choose your spots. 0:10:00.480 --> 0:10:02.920 If you've been aggressive already in the first month of 0:10:02.920 --> 0:10:05.960 the season on guys like Glynn Frasier, Mike Saroka, Carter 0:10:06.080 --> 0:10:08.920 Key Boom, you might not be able to afford to 0:10:09.040 --> 0:10:12.000 be really aggressive. Where with Alex Verdugo right now, which 0:10:12.559 --> 0:10:15.319 me myself, I'm personally learning from because in the main event, 0:10:15.400 --> 0:10:17.000 I don't have a lot of money left. It's a 0:10:17.000 --> 0:10:19.840 fifteen team league, Alex Verdugo is not available, it's not 0:10:19.920 --> 0:10:22.040 a great waiver wider week overall, So I think at 0:10:22.120 --> 0:10:24.520 least for this week, I'll be all right, But overall, 0:10:24.559 --> 0:10:25.920 I really got to be smart about where I pick 0:10:25.960 --> 0:10:28.439 and choose my spot. So if you've been aggressive with 0:10:28.480 --> 0:10:30.240 some of these other guys earlier on in the season, 0:10:30.280 --> 0:10:32.000 I don't know that you can afford to put down 0:10:32.040 --> 0:10:35.160 that twenty percent that we're talking about on Alex Verdugo. 0:10:35.200 --> 0:10:36.960 But overall, Greg, it comes down to need. If you 0:10:37.000 --> 0:10:39.160 really need an outfielder, I can see doing it. But 0:10:39.240 --> 0:10:41.480 as of now, I settling at that twelve to the 0:10:41.920 --> 0:10:44.959 question is do you drop A J. Pollock for Alex Verdugo. 0:10:45.679 --> 0:10:50.000 Klow hesitation there. I'm just not really an AJ Pollock guy. 0:10:50.080 --> 0:10:52.520 We have, We have enough of us sample size now 0:10:52.559 --> 0:10:54.920 with him. He's been hurt every year. This this is 0:10:54.960 --> 0:10:57.480 an elbow infection. Something has happened to his elbow. You 0:10:57.559 --> 0:11:00.800 heard it from Dr A yesterday. He's it's a surgically 0:11:00.840 --> 0:11:03.160 repaired elbow. He has like a metal plate in his 0:11:03.240 --> 0:11:06.560 elbow and somewhere along the line there's an infection. So 0:11:06.600 --> 0:11:08.079 we don't really know how long he's gonna be out 0:11:08.080 --> 0:11:10.560 if this is something that's gonna linger, and even if 0:11:10.559 --> 0:11:12.120 it's not an elbow, this is a guy who, once 0:11:12.120 --> 0:11:14.520 he comes back, he's an extremely high injury risk because 0:11:14.520 --> 0:11:16.240 he's had so many other things go on with him 0:11:16.320 --> 0:11:18.400 in the past. I didn't really love the signing of 0:11:18.400 --> 0:11:20.240 A J. Pollock when he went to the Dodgers. Kind 0:11:20.240 --> 0:11:22.360 of spoke about this, Greg when we were talking about 0:11:22.440 --> 0:11:25.760 Verdugo two or three weeks ago. Um, it didn't really 0:11:25.760 --> 0:11:28.760 make sense that they signed Pollock unless they don't really 0:11:28.760 --> 0:11:31.840 trust Verdugo yet. But now he was starting to push 0:11:31.880 --> 0:11:34.040 playing time against Polock anyway, So overall I just didn't 0:11:34.080 --> 0:11:37.280 really understand the signing of Pollock in a vacuum. Yes, 0:11:37.320 --> 0:11:41.120 I would drop him for Alex Verdugo. Would you drop 0:11:41.200 --> 0:11:48.000 your boy Malex Smith or Alex Verdugo? Um? I think 0:11:48.000 --> 0:11:51.960 it depends on need. If this guy will not stop amazing, 0:11:52.040 --> 0:11:54.400 if you need stolen bases, you know, I don't think 0:11:54.440 --> 0:11:58.480 Alex Verdugo is gonna give you that. In a vacuum, Greg, yes, 0:11:59.640 --> 0:12:01.720 that was a you're looking for. Overall, I wouldn't want 0:12:01.720 --> 0:12:03.600 to drop Malex Smith. I would still try and find 0:12:03.600 --> 0:12:06.160 someone else because I do still believe that he has 0:12:06.800 --> 0:12:09.280 forty stolen base upside and I don't gonna stand by that. 0:12:09.400 --> 0:12:12.080 Would you if you just want someone who's gonna help you? Now? 0:12:12.880 --> 0:12:17.160 Would you drop j Bruster Alex for Alex? Okay? Would 0:12:17.200 --> 0:12:25.480 you drop Ryan O'Hearn yes? Would you drop hmm? Kyle 0:12:25.559 --> 0:12:29.280 Schober yes? One more? Would you drop Dan vogel Bach 0:12:29.360 --> 0:12:37.360 for him? Mm? Hmm? No, Okay I don't know, gosh 0:12:37.360 --> 0:12:41.360 I would either, would you drop Eulie Guriel for him? No? 0:12:41.559 --> 0:12:43.640 I don't have any shares of Gurriel, so I don't 0:12:43.640 --> 0:12:45.800 really know what he's been up to. But I feel 0:12:45.800 --> 0:12:49.040 like some people have been asking if they can drop him. 0:12:49.040 --> 0:12:51.960 So let's see. Let's dive in here, grety, let's see 0:12:52.000 --> 0:12:56.680 what we're Uli Gurriel is up to this season. Um 0:12:56.800 --> 0:12:59.120 mine drive rate is a career high right now, by 0:12:59.200 --> 0:13:01.679 far thirty one percent. I mean that is massive. He's 0:13:01.679 --> 0:13:04.360 actually hitting more flyballs this year, but he has he 0:13:04.400 --> 0:13:06.240 has a two sixty babbit, much lower than his to 0:13:06.679 --> 0:13:12.720 nine career babbit. Um m hmm. I think I would 0:13:12.800 --> 0:13:16.920 drop Eulie Guriel for Alex Verdugo. But overall, just looking 0:13:16.960 --> 0:13:18.920 at the battle ball day, I do think better days 0:13:18.920 --> 0:13:21.720 are coming for Guriel. Without looking, don't scroll up, just 0:13:21.720 --> 0:13:28.480 say where you are there? How old is Uliet? On 0:13:28.640 --> 0:13:31.280 June nine, one month from now, he'll be thirty five 0:13:31.360 --> 0:13:34.880 years old. I knew he was older because when he 0:13:34.920 --> 0:13:38.920 came over he wasn't a young prospect, ready to play player. 0:13:42.040 --> 0:13:44.400 Did not know that. How about the playing time? What's 0:13:44.440 --> 0:13:47.240 the playing time been like for he has? I do 0:13:47.360 --> 0:13:49.120 like this tool that, yeah, who has when if you 0:13:49.120 --> 0:13:50.560 click on their name, you can just kind of see 0:13:50.559 --> 0:13:54.120 how often they play. Uh, since played every game, but 0:13:54.160 --> 0:13:56.360 one pretty much plays every day. And it's a really 0:13:56.360 --> 0:14:00.440 good lineup. So you asked me or Verdugo, I would 0:14:00.440 --> 0:14:04.079 take Verdugo, but maybe try and find someone else to 0:14:04.160 --> 0:14:05.720 drop instead of Gore yea. I think better days are 0:14:05.760 --> 0:14:08.160 coming for him. If Verdugo is your top guy that's 0:14:08.240 --> 0:14:12.280 on the waiver wire hitter wise, who's next? Assuming that 0:14:12.360 --> 0:14:15.600 has Yeller isn't out there, so I don't want We 0:14:15.600 --> 0:14:17.960 talked about him a lot this week. If Verdigo is 0:14:18.000 --> 0:14:20.640 not out there, who's another hitter that you would say 0:14:20.800 --> 0:14:25.320 I'm interested in significantly? Probably Nate low of the Tampa 0:14:25.360 --> 0:14:27.240 Bay Rays. Uh. This is a guy that I've been 0:14:27.240 --> 0:14:29.480 scouting since before the season. I mentioned his name, I 0:14:29.520 --> 0:14:31.600 believe when we were doing the first base preview, I 0:14:31.680 --> 0:14:34.760 was constantly telling you, guys off the air, the attention 0:14:34.800 --> 0:14:37.320 to Nathaniel low Pay attention to Nathaniel Lowe. I like 0:14:37.400 --> 0:14:39.960 what he did last year. He made huge strides, he 0:14:40.040 --> 0:14:43.040 hit for batting average, he hit for power um in 0:14:43.640 --> 0:14:48.080 triple A last season. This guy hit Uh, you know 0:14:48.080 --> 0:14:50.560 what now I'm used using a mill dot com. I 0:14:50.560 --> 0:14:53.600 don't like fangraphs from prospects. But he hit. He had 0:14:53.640 --> 0:14:56.560 twenty seven home runs last year, UM and he was 0:14:56.600 --> 0:14:58.320 clearly raking this year, so they're gonna give him an 0:14:58.320 --> 0:15:02.280 opportunity to play. He's only twenty three years old. So 0:15:02.360 --> 0:15:07.600 let's see last season overall, in he crossed three levels, 0:15:07.640 --> 0:15:10.160 he hit three thirty seven home runs. That's what I thought. 0:15:10.200 --> 0:15:12.280 It was three thirty and Triple A specifically he only 0:15:12.320 --> 0:15:14.560 had to sixty, but that was twenty eight games. This year, 0:15:14.800 --> 0:15:17.480 in twenty one games in Triple A he had three 0:15:17.600 --> 0:15:21.960 hundred with three homers. So nice little blend of hit. 0:15:22.000 --> 0:15:24.280 Tool can hit for batting average, offers a little bit 0:15:24.280 --> 0:15:27.800 of pop as well. He's obviously gonna hitting good ballparks 0:15:27.840 --> 0:15:31.160 playing in the American League East. I like Nate low 0:15:31.200 --> 0:15:35.200 Greg He's he's probably the next one up after Alex Verdugo. 0:15:35.320 --> 0:15:38.000 If we're just talking about young players who have upside. 0:15:38.640 --> 0:15:40.640 Everyone else who's kind of on the waiver wider this week, 0:15:40.640 --> 0:15:43.200 they're kind of like retreads. It's like guys you pick up, 0:15:43.280 --> 0:15:46.240 guys you drop all the time. But I think outside 0:15:46.280 --> 0:15:48.360 of Verdugo, Nate Low is probably the next hitter that 0:15:48.400 --> 0:15:50.880 has the most staying power. How much we talked about 0:15:51.040 --> 0:15:55.960 Nila Mm hmmm, say like seven eight percent? Yeah, I 0:15:56.080 --> 0:15:58.000 was thinking the same thing. I was thinking the same 0:15:58.040 --> 0:16:01.000 thing about seven eight or so. Is what I'm doing 0:16:01.040 --> 0:16:04.680 for Nate Low? Nothing significant or super significant. I should 0:16:04.800 --> 0:16:07.960 say I was going over the players to drop a 0:16:08.000 --> 0:16:13.720 moment ago Frank. Same questions kind of abound, Right would 0:16:13.720 --> 0:16:18.560 you drop J Bruce form? Um? Yeah, I think I 0:16:18.600 --> 0:16:22.320 would Bruce like just empty power right now? The Seattle 0:16:22.360 --> 0:16:27.840 Mariner's lineup overall is getting cold. Um, he's striking out 0:16:27.760 --> 0:16:32.440 of a ton. He gives your power, But I'd rather 0:16:32.440 --> 0:16:35.800 take a shot on the unknown the upside of Nate 0:16:35.840 --> 0:16:38.240 Low instead. Okay, what about some of the other guys 0:16:38.360 --> 0:16:42.760 that I named Your boy Malex Smith's very different obviously, Um, 0:16:42.880 --> 0:16:45.840 I said J Bruce before. Did you drop Jerrickson profar 0:16:46.000 --> 0:16:54.000 for him? Mm hmm. It's a good one. Um, I 0:16:55.520 --> 0:16:59.280 don't think I would. That's a closer one. You're just 0:16:59.280 --> 0:17:03.040 having me. Guys. It wasn't even really asserted profile guy 0:17:03.120 --> 0:17:06.480 coming into the season, and he became one. I don't 0:17:06.480 --> 0:17:08.320 think I would do that. Let's talk about some pictures 0:17:08.320 --> 0:17:09.880 to pick up.
