Speaker 1: x L days. He as well. I'd sleep last night.
Speaker 1: It's so great, you know. I slept. I slept great.
Speaker 1: I had a one dream that I remembered where I
Speaker 1: was on a bus with my mom and sister, on
Speaker 1: a bus right as bus my mom and sister. And
Speaker 1: last night I had a few beers here with a
Speaker 1: friend that it randomly saw us during the NBA Fantasy
Speaker 1: Hour and then I went home. We had cheestaks for dinner.
Speaker 1: It was like delicious, right messy night for so I
Speaker 1: had a dream and the bust of my mom saying
Speaker 1: that I needed to go on the thirty two for
Speaker 1: thirty diet isn't the real thing? I was like, do
Speaker 1: you know who you're talking to? It's your's it's me.
Speaker 1: I'm going to go do on this third what? And
Speaker 1: it was like you have to like the gym like
Speaker 1: thirty two times in thirty days, and like are you out?
Speaker 1: What is wrong with you? Terribly? What are you kidding me?
Speaker 1: Would anyone do that? You gotta do it for the wedding?
Speaker 1: Like this, this isn't happening. So I welcome angry, I dit,
Speaker 1: but it's not real. Sound good? Have you ever heard
Speaker 1: the term Greg shed to wed? I? I have? Yes?
Speaker 1: Are you shedding to wed right now? Greg? I'm not
Speaker 1: on the white at the moment. Given the three beers
Speaker 1: and cheese steak I had last night, Frank oh Man,
Speaker 1: and we're just gonna pick up where you left off
Speaker 1: last night tonight. Maybe he'll say it's gonna be a
Speaker 1: fun night night. Well should be, it should be a
Speaker 1: good time. Um, I'm a little we'll see how it goes.
Speaker 1: So goes all before the show officially starts four, we
Speaker 1: can get into waiver wires. Twelve team leagues, fifteen team leagues,
Speaker 1: we'll talk about nixons ll a little bit. Did what how?
Speaker 1: Did you sleep very well? Which is a change of pace.
Speaker 1: It's good I slept well. Um, if anyone was listening
Speaker 1: to the Morning After, I feel like you have to
Speaker 1: separate myself a little bit from you, Greg, because I
Speaker 1: am now being lumped into the things that you like
Speaker 1: means that I like them. And Gabe was talking a
Speaker 1: lot about how the assumption was that I also liked
Speaker 1: Maroon five along with you. That's not the case. I'm starting.
Speaker 1: I'm starting to get lumped in with the with the
Speaker 1: pop top forties, Greg Susman musical choice that is just
Speaker 1: not true. I don't know man gave speaks gospel. I'm
Speaker 1: all over the place. Ye Metallic six or seven times.
Speaker 1: I would love a Metallic a halftime show, I said, well,
Speaker 1: but I understand what they try to do with the
Speaker 1: halftime show. They're trying trying to appeal to everybody who's
Speaker 1: not a football fan just sitting there and watched. It's
Speaker 1: not for us. I don't watch it. I watched wrestling
Speaker 1: instead this year. It was very good. I don't know,
Speaker 1: I gotta start to establish something here because everyone's starting
Speaker 1: to think that I liked Taylor Swift and I like,
Speaker 1: come round five. It's just not true. Guys. Come on,
Speaker 1: I don't know. I gotta establish myself somehow. So I'm like,
Speaker 1: that's all. I had to get that off my chest.
Speaker 1: Do you feel like he got off your test now?
Speaker 1: Feeling a little bit better? All right, so let's um,
Speaker 1: it's way over wide Friday. There is no Michael Florio today.
Speaker 1: He was too busy for us. Remember his friends were
Speaker 1: coming like an hour or two, so we had to
Speaker 1: get ready, right. Yeah, I believe that was what it is.
Speaker 1: He was at the Angels game last night. I saw
Speaker 1: a bunch of videos. I retweeted the video. I am
Speaker 1: pretty jealous that you got to see the Handsel Robusts
Speaker 1: Undertaker thing live because that looked awesome. The music was
Speaker 1: blasting to undertake your feel like that would just get
Speaker 1: me pumped. Cool, that would get me pumped. Files at
Speaker 1: the game. He also got to see my Trout home run.
Speaker 1: So that's cool. It's not cool. He texted me last
Speaker 1: week and said, I'm going to Toronto and the Angels.
Speaker 1: I get to see Trout versus Vlad Glad was not
Speaker 1: in the lineup. Oh poor Mike. That's what you get
Speaker 1: from ditchings. Sorry Mike, Sorry, but he's not here today.
Speaker 1: He's not here. An that you're definitely join us an
Speaker 1: hour too, also, an hour too. It's gonna be fun.
Speaker 1: It's gonna be a fun hour too, because we're gonna
Speaker 1: play a game today and we're gonna have somebody when
Speaker 1: tickets to the Yankee game tonight. We have tickets to
Speaker 1: give away on the show. I am the first time. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you want do you do? You want the tickets? Well?
Speaker 1: Can we can? We bring everybody? Uh, there are four tickets.
Speaker 1: Now you want to separate you want to separate them
Speaker 1: in two and two and you want to give somebody
Speaker 1: four tickets away. Um, there's a good question. I agree,
Speaker 1: m M, I guess it. Let's let's basics off of well,
Speaker 1: what are you gonna do? Are you gonna give them away?
Speaker 1: You're gonna do some kind of trivia or some kind
Speaker 1: of so pre planned for today's show. I have an
Speaker 1: around the horn set up for you and Chris to
Speaker 1: play against each other. I have set this up. I
Speaker 1: have all my questions here with my answers. I was
Speaker 1: going to include Alex in the game as well, and
Speaker 1: I can include the audience participant as well, or I
Speaker 1: could have whoever calls in try to. It's got a
Speaker 1: text message, so we'll help with this during the break.
Speaker 1: All right, we have an update. We're away. We're gonnaway
Speaker 1: Yankee tickets. I have still definitely give it away. We're
Speaker 1: definitely giving away Ankazy. It was a great up date. Um,
Speaker 1: we will definitely have away a tickets. An hour to
Speaker 1: the game will be adjusted. I have a hole around
Speaker 1: the horse set up. It's gonna be a blast um,
Speaker 1: and I think we might I might leave out adventure
Speaker 1: and just have somebody versus you and if they beat you,
Speaker 1: they get the tickets. That's going on. Want of thinking, Okay, Yankees,
Speaker 1: Twinston I too. It's fun game, James Paxson, potentially the
Speaker 1: return of Miguel and Harst. So it's gonna be awesome,
Speaker 1: good Yankee tickets. So we'll let you know when we
Speaker 1: open the phone. Lines for that, so get ready for
Speaker 1: it to be really fun. So we really really fun show.
Speaker 1: Get to the waibor wire before we get any of that,
Speaker 1: though already on the waiver wire. Not really. There's nobody
Speaker 1: that you're gonna spend a jillion dollars on, I don't
Speaker 1: think besides one name that really stands out if he's
Speaker 1: available in your league, and that for me is Alex Verduga.
Speaker 1: We talked a lot about these guys that we're gonna
Speaker 1: mention today on the show throughout the week, but now
Speaker 1: we're gonna tell you, like who you could drop for them,
Speaker 1: how much you want to spend on that stuff like that.
Speaker 1: So Verdugo is probably the number one guy on the
Speaker 1: list for me here with a j pollock out indefinitely
Speaker 1: essentially with this elbow injury, Verdugo at own in Yahoo
Speaker 1: leagues right now. How much of your budget do you
Speaker 1: think you should be spending on Alex Roduga? I can
Speaker 1: see going let's say twelve to on the aggressive side.
Speaker 1: I still do have some concerns about his game overall.
Speaker 1: I think he's a great player. I think he's gonna
Speaker 1: right now. He's a guy that as a plus hit tool,
Speaker 1: he's gonna hit for a batting average. He's gonna hit
Speaker 1: for a lot of doubles. I don't know if the
Speaker 1: power is there yet. He strikes me as a guy
Speaker 1: that as he gets older, will grow into his power
Speaker 1: as long as he performs. I'm not really worried about
Speaker 1: aj Pollock because Polck has always hurt. Even if he
Speaker 1: comes back after the chance that he reinjures himself. And
Speaker 1: if Alex Verdugo just takes off while Pollock is gone
Speaker 1: and he's gonna find a way to stay in the lineup,
Speaker 1: They're gonna find ways for him to stay in the
Speaker 1: lineup for as long as possible if he is performing,
Speaker 1: and I think he can. He's holding his own against
Speaker 1: lefty so far this year. I know the Dodgers like
Speaker 1: to do lots of splitsy type things, but overall, I
Speaker 1: do like his game. I expect batting average. Obviously, there
Speaker 1: could be counting stats if he's hitting in the middle
Speaker 1: of the Dodgers lineup. He stole a base the other day,
Speaker 1: so that maybe that's another wrinkle that he's adding to
Speaker 1: his game. Overall, I don't know that the power will
Speaker 1: be vast at first, but a couple of years down
Speaker 1: the line. Potentially it is you want to be aggressive,
Speaker 1: Greg Um, Well, if you're in a five outfieler league
Speaker 1: and really need an outfaller, I could see going higher
Speaker 1: than that, but that's kind of where I settle in
Speaker 1: right now. So yeah, I think that for to go
Speaker 1: you really lead it out right that if he hits,
Speaker 1: he's going to stay in the line up. Some of
Speaker 1: the carter keeping really need to start doing a sap um.
Speaker 1: But we wanted him. We said before you run of
Speaker 1: the waiver wire, if anybody got hurt, and then somebody didn't,
Speaker 1: I know, we're now done with April. You're into the
Speaker 1: second month. Ten percent. Is that enough? That's my question?
Speaker 1: Is it enough? Should you go closer to if he
Speaker 1: the must own? I think it comes down to need again,
Speaker 1: which is what I said. You know, if you need
Speaker 1: if you play in a five outfielder league and you
Speaker 1: really need an atfeeler, even if you don't play in
Speaker 1: the five outfield of the league, if if it turns
Speaker 1: out you know you had Stanton on your team, or
Speaker 1: you just have guys that are slumping and it's just
Speaker 1: not working out right now, you need an out feeler.
Speaker 1: I could see going above fifteen percent, maybe closer to
Speaker 1: that twenty percent that Gregg's talking about. But it feels
Speaker 1: like every week we have at least one or two
Speaker 1: players that we come on here and we talk about
Speaker 1: ten percent. If you're gonna be aggressive, the thing is
Speaker 1: you can't You can't afford to do it every week,
Speaker 1: So you kind of have to pick and choose your spots.
Speaker 1: If you've been aggressive already in the first month of
Speaker 1: the season on guys like Glynn Frasier, Mike Saroka, Carter
Speaker 1: Key Boom, you might not be able to afford to
Speaker 1: be really aggressive. Where with Alex Verdugo right now, which
Speaker 1: me myself, I'm personally learning from because in the main event,
Speaker 1: I don't have a lot of money left. It's a
Speaker 1: fifteen team league, Alex Verdugo is not available, it's not
Speaker 1: a great waiver wider week overall, So I think at
Speaker 1: least for this week, I'll be all right, But overall,
Speaker 1: I really got to be smart about where I pick
Speaker 1: and choose my spot. So if you've been aggressive with
Speaker 1: some of these other guys earlier on in the season,
Speaker 1: I don't know that you can afford to put down
Speaker 1: that twenty percent that we're talking about on Alex Verdugo.
Speaker 1: But overall, Greg, it comes down to need. If you
Speaker 1: really need an outfielder, I can see doing it. But
Speaker 1: as of now, I settling at that twelve to the
Speaker 1: question is do you drop A J. Pollock for Alex Verdugo.
Speaker 1: Klow hesitation there. I'm just not really an AJ Pollock guy.
Speaker 1: We have, We have enough of us sample size now
Speaker 1: with him. He's been hurt every year. This this is
Speaker 1: an elbow infection. Something has happened to his elbow. You
Speaker 1: heard it from Dr A yesterday. He's it's a surgically
Speaker 1: repaired elbow. He has like a metal plate in his
Speaker 1: elbow and somewhere along the line there's an infection. So
Speaker 1: we don't really know how long he's gonna be out
Speaker 1: if this is something that's gonna linger, and even if
Speaker 1: it's not an elbow, this is a guy who, once
Speaker 1: he comes back, he's an extremely high injury risk because
Speaker 1: he's had so many other things go on with him
Speaker 1: in the past. I didn't really love the signing of
Speaker 1: A J. Pollock when he went to the Dodgers. Kind
Speaker 1: of spoke about this, Greg when we were talking about
Speaker 1: Verdugo two or three weeks ago. Um, it didn't really
Speaker 1: make sense that they signed Pollock unless they don't really
Speaker 1: trust Verdugo yet. But now he was starting to push
Speaker 1: playing time against Polock anyway, So overall I just didn't
Speaker 1: really understand the signing of Pollock in a vacuum. Yes,
Speaker 1: I would drop him for Alex Verdugo. Would you drop
Speaker 1: your boy Malex Smith or Alex Verdugo? Um? I think
Speaker 1: it depends on need. If this guy will not stop amazing,
Speaker 1: if you need stolen bases, you know, I don't think
Speaker 1: Alex Verdugo is gonna give you that. In a vacuum, Greg, yes,
Speaker 1: that was a you're looking for. Overall, I wouldn't want
Speaker 1: to drop Malex Smith. I would still try and find
Speaker 1: someone else because I do still believe that he has
Speaker 1: forty stolen base upside and I don't gonna stand by that.
Speaker 1: Would you if you just want someone who's gonna help you? Now?
Speaker 1: Would you drop j Bruster Alex for Alex? Okay? Would
Speaker 1: you drop Ryan O'Hearn yes? Would you drop hmm? Kyle
Speaker 1: Schober yes? One more? Would you drop Dan vogel Bach
Speaker 1: for him? Mm? Hmm? No, Okay I don't know, gosh
Speaker 1: I would either, would you drop Eulie Guriel for him? No?
Speaker 1: I don't have any shares of Gurriel, so I don't
Speaker 1: really know what he's been up to. But I feel
Speaker 1: like some people have been asking if they can drop him.
Speaker 1: So let's see. Let's dive in here, grety, let's see
Speaker 1: what we're Uli Gurriel is up to this season. Um
Speaker 1: mine drive rate is a career high right now, by
Speaker 1: far thirty one percent. I mean that is massive. He's
Speaker 1: actually hitting more flyballs this year, but he has he
Speaker 1: has a two sixty babbit, much lower than his to
Speaker 1: nine career babbit. Um m hmm. I think I would
Speaker 1: drop Eulie Guriel for Alex Verdugo. But overall, just looking
Speaker 1: at the battle ball day, I do think better days
Speaker 1: are coming for Guriel. Without looking, don't scroll up, just
Speaker 1: say where you are there? How old is Uliet? On
Speaker 1: June nine, one month from now, he'll be thirty five
Speaker 1: years old. I knew he was older because when he
Speaker 1: came over he wasn't a young prospect, ready to play player.
Speaker 1: Did not know that. How about the playing time? What's
Speaker 1: the playing time been like for he has? I do
Speaker 1: like this tool that, yeah, who has when if you
Speaker 1: click on their name, you can just kind of see
Speaker 1: how often they play. Uh, since played every game, but
Speaker 1: one pretty much plays every day. And it's a really
Speaker 1: good lineup. So you asked me or Verdugo, I would
Speaker 1: take Verdugo, but maybe try and find someone else to
Speaker 1: drop instead of Gore yea. I think better days are
Speaker 1: coming for him. If Verdugo is your top guy that's
Speaker 1: on the waiver wire hitter wise, who's next? Assuming that
Speaker 1: has Yeller isn't out there, so I don't want We
Speaker 1: talked about him a lot this week. If Verdigo is
Speaker 1: not out there, who's another hitter that you would say
Speaker 1: I'm interested in significantly? Probably Nate low of the Tampa
Speaker 1: Bay Rays. Uh. This is a guy that I've been
Speaker 1: scouting since before the season. I mentioned his name, I
Speaker 1: believe when we were doing the first base preview, I
Speaker 1: was constantly telling you, guys off the air, the attention
Speaker 1: to Nathaniel low Pay attention to Nathaniel Lowe. I like
Speaker 1: what he did last year. He made huge strides, he
Speaker 1: hit for batting average, he hit for power um in
Speaker 1: triple A last season. This guy hit Uh, you know
Speaker 1: what now I'm used using a mill dot com. I
Speaker 1: don't like fangraphs from prospects. But he hit. He had
Speaker 1: twenty seven home runs last year, UM and he was
Speaker 1: clearly raking this year, so they're gonna give him an
Speaker 1: opportunity to play. He's only twenty three years old. So
Speaker 1: let's see last season overall, in he crossed three levels,
Speaker 1: he hit three thirty seven home runs. That's what I thought.
Speaker 1: It was three thirty and Triple A specifically he only
Speaker 1: had to sixty, but that was twenty eight games. This year,
Speaker 1: in twenty one games in Triple A he had three
Speaker 1: hundred with three homers. So nice little blend of hit.
Speaker 1: Tool can hit for batting average, offers a little bit
Speaker 1: of pop as well. He's obviously gonna hitting good ballparks
Speaker 1: playing in the American League East. I like Nate low
Speaker 1: Greg He's he's probably the next one up after Alex Verdugo.
Speaker 1: If we're just talking about young players who have upside.
Speaker 1: Everyone else who's kind of on the waiver wider this week,
Speaker 1: they're kind of like retreads. It's like guys you pick up,
Speaker 1: guys you drop all the time. But I think outside
Speaker 1: of Verdugo, Nate Low is probably the next hitter that
Speaker 1: has the most staying power. How much we talked about
Speaker 1: Nila Mm hmmm, say like seven eight percent? Yeah, I
Speaker 1: was thinking the same thing. I was thinking the same
Speaker 1: thing about seven eight or so. Is what I'm doing
Speaker 1: for Nate Low? Nothing significant or super significant. I should
Speaker 1: say I was going over the players to drop a
Speaker 1: moment ago Frank. Same questions kind of abound, Right would
Speaker 1: you drop J Bruce form? Um? Yeah, I think I
Speaker 1: would Bruce like just empty power right now? The Seattle
Speaker 1: Mariner's lineup overall is getting cold. Um, he's striking out
Speaker 1: of a ton. He gives your power, But I'd rather
Speaker 1: take a shot on the unknown the upside of Nate
Speaker 1: Low instead. Okay, what about some of the other guys
Speaker 1: that I named Your boy Malex Smith's very different obviously, Um,
Speaker 1: I said J Bruce before. Did you drop Jerrickson profar
Speaker 1: for him? Mm hmm. It's a good one. Um, I
Speaker 1: don't think I would. That's a closer one. You're just
Speaker 1: having me. Guys. It wasn't even really asserted profile guy
Speaker 1: coming into the season, and he became one. I don't
Speaker 1: think I would do that. Let's talk about some pictures
Speaker 1: to pick up. There's not much out there this week,

Speaker 1: you want to? When you want to? I want shot
Speaker 1: to Sequila with Rob Sussman. You know I like tequila?
Speaker 1: Come on, sometimes you like to kill it most of
Speaker 1: the time I do. Have you ever met a time
Speaker 1: when I didn't like if you asked me, Hey, Frank,
Speaker 1: do you want a tequila shot? Have I ever turned
Speaker 1: you down? Wasn't Floria that doesn't like toe kuilla that much?
Speaker 1: They made drink at Christmas party? I thought that was you.
Speaker 1: I was making a drink. No, it wasn't. It was
Speaker 1: not me. Okay, no issues here, Greg cool anyway? Uh?
Speaker 1: Hitting wise? Is there anybody else? Is there anybody else
Speaker 1: out there they were supposed to pick up before we
Speaker 1: move on to pictures? Yeah, I'm looking at some of
Speaker 1: the most added hitters right now on who um they
Speaker 1: any Santana If he was dropped. I could see picking
Speaker 1: him back up, but I still do have concerns long term.
Speaker 1: Sure you want to ride him always hot, that's fine.
Speaker 1: I wouldn't drop anybody of serious value for Danny Santana.
Speaker 1: The most added hitter on Yahoo right now is your
Speaker 1: Don Alvarez of the Houston Astros. He's been added in
Speaker 1: eight thousand leagues. Yeah, guys, I understand he's crushing it
Speaker 1: right now in the minors, but where is he gonna play?
Speaker 1: That seems to be the biggest question and problem right now. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean that was that was a huge issue for
Speaker 1: Kyle Tucker too, that we had coming into the year.
Speaker 1: To be fair, You're Don Alvarez has severely outperformed Kyle
Speaker 1: Tucker to start the season. I mean, this guy is
Speaker 1: is absolutely raking Greg. He's hitting four oh two. I
Speaker 1: mean these numbers are as he's sitting four oh two
Speaker 1: slugging percentage. He's got a fourteen one o p s,
Speaker 1: twelve homers, thirties, six ribbies. If you have a bench spot,
Speaker 1: are you stashing this guy right now? Probably, especially like
Speaker 1: as you see some of the other top prospects go up.
Speaker 1: Glad send Zel, he Boom Albert certainly SEUs me that
Speaker 1: next guy, right. So I actually wrote on my Patreon
Speaker 1: last night about the next wave of prospects that's coming
Speaker 1: that I to be up in the major sooner rather
Speaker 1: than later. I did not include your Don Alvarez just
Speaker 1: because I don't know where he's gonna play unless they
Speaker 1: just call him up and let him be the d
Speaker 1: H every day, because they've kind of mixed and match.
Speaker 1: They've used like Tyler White, They've used Tony Camp here
Speaker 1: and there. They'll put Jake Murisnick in the outfield, and
Speaker 1: they move Josh Reddick to d H. So I guess
Speaker 1: that's kind of a revolving door right now, they could
Speaker 1: put your Don Alvarez as the designated hitter. I mean
Speaker 1: maybe that's maybe that's a spot where it works great.
Speaker 1: Like I don't think Josh Reddick is going anywhere yet.
Speaker 1: I think as long as he's performing well, which he
Speaker 1: is right now. He's hitting a were three hundred, well
Speaker 1: over three hundred, um, I don't think they're gonna take
Speaker 1: him out of the lineup. Can you see your Don
Speaker 1: Alvarez coming in and just playing d H every day?
Speaker 1: For it? Seem greggy No, I don't think so. I
Speaker 1: don't don't think we're at that point with your donna.
Speaker 1: How is he as a fielder, I couldn't tell you,
Speaker 1: so I don't. I don't think they're gonna call up
Speaker 1: a guy. What does it matter? Like if they have
Speaker 1: the d H available, then they'll just make him a
Speaker 1: d H. Yeah. Fielding has has rated a forty five
Speaker 1: out of eighty according to MLB dot com pretty bad,
Speaker 1: not great, pretty bad. Um fourteen walks in nineteen strikeouts.
Speaker 1: He's absolutely mashing. I can't deny that, but I just
Speaker 1: I do I do have concerns about where would he play.
Speaker 1: It's a really good lineup obviously with Houston. Um, I
Speaker 1: mean you could stash him. I just I don't know
Speaker 1: when he's gonna be up just because the prospect is mashing, Greg,
Speaker 1: I mean, we've seen the sport. Just because the guy
Speaker 1: is hitting well, he doesn't always get called up. If
Speaker 1: that was the case, last should have been called hip
Speaker 1: last year didn't happen. So he's the most He's in
Speaker 1: number one and by far he's number one added player
Speaker 1: on Yahoo. What was he ranked prospect wise coming into there?
Speaker 1: He is the third ranked prospect in the Houston Ashrolls organization.
Speaker 1: Oh all right, where is he? Like Baseball Like America.
Speaker 1: Uh well, that's according to MLB dot Com. I don't.
Speaker 1: I don't have Baseball America in front of me right now.
Speaker 1: I don't even know if he's the top one prospect overall. Yeah,
Speaker 1: pretty legit. Who would you rather own? You're an Alvarez
Speaker 1: or Mitch Keller. Mitch Keller on your list? I like
Speaker 1: Mitch Keller. I was gonna write about him last night,
Speaker 1: but overall, I don't. I don't think he's that close.
Speaker 1: He might be more of a second half of the
Speaker 1: season call up because he still has a lot of
Speaker 1: issues with walks, which is something that I was reminded
Speaker 1: of last night when I was looking through his game log.
Speaker 1: So he struggles to walk. Per nine is a little
Speaker 1: bit high. The cape for nine is also very good.
Speaker 1: He has legit swinging miss stuff, and I think he's
Speaker 1: gonna be a good picture. But I think they're gonna
Speaker 1: leave him down in the minors greg until he starts
Speaker 1: to improve this lack of control that we've seen in
Speaker 1: the minor leagues. I mean, that's why you're in the
Speaker 1: minors to try and find tool your craft, and I
Speaker 1: just don't think he's there yet, so I think he's
Speaker 1: more of a second half of the season call up.
Speaker 1: That's why I did not include him in my Atreon
Speaker 1: article last night. So I would I would always stash
Speaker 1: her down Albarets ahead of him. Okay, by one last question,
Speaker 1: we have a minor league spot, Yes, for sure pick him.
Speaker 1: Question understand right, should you own your Don Alvarez over
Speaker 1: Kyle Tucker like we do that exact dilemma. We don't
Speaker 1: know that Alvarez will be up before soccer. We do
Speaker 1: not know that he'll get the shot before will. I
Speaker 1: think based on the way he's playing, Greg, you can't
Speaker 1: just go based on prospect pedigree here because Kyle Tucker
Speaker 1: is not getting it done. He's got six homers, he's
Speaker 1: got five steals. That's all great, but he's matings. To me,
Speaker 1: it would be a travesty if they had an injury
Speaker 1: and they needed to call up a hitter, if they
Speaker 1: called up Kyle Tucker over your Don Alvarez. I just
Speaker 1: I wouldn't agree with that move personally. It doesn't matter
Speaker 1: if you agree with it. I think that if anything
Speaker 1: were to happen, you're don Alvarez is getting called it
Speaker 1: before the way that he's performing. So if you're saying that,
Speaker 1: then your answer is clear that you should own Alvarez
Speaker 1: over Kyle Tucker. I believe has more long term ups.
Speaker 1: I said, though, Okay, he's had this top prospect status
Speaker 1: for years. We should we know what the power speed
Speaker 1: combination is and he's not gonna steal bases Preston Tucker?
Speaker 1: Is that actually his brother? So I'm stashing Kyle Tucker
Speaker 1: and two of my home leagues where we have minor
Speaker 1: league spots, Greg, Should I be stashing your Don Alvarez
Speaker 1: over him? Probably? This is a keeper league, So that's
Speaker 1: I have an eye on the future too. So that's
Speaker 1: why right now at least, I'm choosing to stash Kyle Tucker.
Speaker 1: So when one league have Kyle Tucker and he's Luzardo
Speaker 1: as my two minor leaguers in my two home leagues,
Speaker 1: you're both a lot. You're a lot of status two
Speaker 1: minor leaguers, and then the other one I have Kyle
Speaker 1: Tucker and Bobichette. Should I be stashing your Don over
Speaker 1: is over Bobichette probably broke his hand? Is that is that? Keep? Really? Yeah?
Speaker 1: They're both keeper. So that's why I have like an
Speaker 1: eye on the future. If you're just playing for this
Speaker 1: year and you want a prospect to stash, it might
Speaker 1: be even to help you this year and you're done.
Speaker 1: Overs is probably at the top of the list, And
Speaker 1: I'll let you in a little sneak peek behind the
Speaker 1: pay paywall. Greg. The prospect that I said I think
Speaker 1: gets the call next is Ryan mount Castle of the
Speaker 1: Baltimore Orioles, who does have good bats to ball skills
Speaker 1: and he's added power over the past couple of years.
Speaker 1: He has an eighteen home run season in the minor
Speaker 1: leagues under his belt. He's sitting right around three hundred
Speaker 1: so far this season, and the Baltimore Orioles clearly have
Speaker 1: an eye on the future, which might be the end
Speaker 1: of Chris Davis unfortunately. But I think I do think
Speaker 1: Ryan mount Castle is the next prospect to get called up. Okay,
Speaker 1: Ryan mount Castle the next big prospect to get called up.
Speaker 1: According to our own Frankie Stamfle what um fifteen team
Speaker 1: leagues hit or wise, there's one more than twelve teams
Speaker 1: you get catcher. James McCann is a catcher that's probably
Speaker 1: the best out there right now for you ll owned
Speaker 1: about swel percent of Yahoo leagues. And it's funny. Uh,
Speaker 1: Frank was working on the fifteen team, guys. I was
Speaker 1: working on the twelve team. Guys. We both put James
Speaker 1: McCann in here, and I think he's available in either
Speaker 1: the main event or my great Fantasy Baseball invitation. I
Speaker 1: was looking at a catch him. I was looking at
Speaker 1: a catch in our work league. And I think that
Speaker 1: Tony walters ahead of him. I don't know, Colorado. That
Speaker 1: doesn't seem like a good idea, but I thought it
Speaker 1: was Colorado, Like why not? You know? Anyway, it's we
Speaker 1: did not afore see James mccannn basically just coming in
Speaker 1: here and completely stealing. Yeah, and and he has. He's
Speaker 1: batting really, really well right now. He's earlier this year
Speaker 1: starts than he was splitting time with Williams in gestio.
Speaker 1: And now you're right, Frank, he's starting more often than not.
Speaker 1: He's played like the last six games for this White
Speaker 1: Sox team. Um d aging some, but he's playing every day,
Speaker 1: and you want to catch it that's performing and playing
Speaker 1: every day right now. That Cherry's McCann and he's available everywhere.
Speaker 1: So my question to you, Frank is would you drop
Speaker 1: Beef Casti over James McCann. Yeah, definitely I would. I'm
Speaker 1: just looking at the batleballs data right now for James
Speaker 1: mccainn he's absolutely mashing. Not something that you can normally
Speaker 1: say about a catcher let alone. You know, James McCain
Speaker 1: is probably a second catcher in most leagues where you
Speaker 1: start two of him. He's got a forty one point
Speaker 1: seven percent hard hit rate percent line driver you guys
Speaker 1: like league average line drive rate is he's five percentage
Speaker 1: points over that. So he's absolutely mashing. He puts the
Speaker 1: ball in the air percent of the time, walking more
Speaker 1: this ease here, hitting three sixty five s. He had
Speaker 1: a home run off David Price last night. Absolutely, Greg,
Speaker 1: this guy should be owning all two catcher leagues, okay,
Speaker 1: James McCanns, maybe even one catcher leagues. If you were
Speaker 1: rolling with a guy like Wellington Casto, yeah I would
Speaker 1: make that move. Or if you were rolling Williams studio,
Speaker 1: who is hurt, has the hamstring injury, need a replacement
Speaker 1: for him. That's why I picked Tony Walters. James mccainn
Speaker 1: only fifteen percent owned right now, you should I would
Speaker 1: rather own James mccannon than Tony. It's crazy because there's
Speaker 1: deciding between the two of them. We should ask me Greg, Well,
Speaker 1: I didn't, and this is how you end up doing
Speaker 1: the things that you do. Greg, I don't know to
Speaker 1: tell you. I think my last pickup now whatever you
Speaker 1: did this last time and then we got Carter keep
Speaker 1: them called up and you're like, no, I used all
Speaker 1: my pickups to do it. Welcome to the squad, Jim
Speaker 1: mccann'let Jim mccannon. That's not Jim McCann. Oh, I don't
Speaker 1: know if I want to do this. I was gonna
Speaker 1: drop a start and he starting on Sunday A. Right
Speaker 1: while you're doing that, I'm gonna remind anyone who's listening
Speaker 1: or watching right now if you want to get in
Speaker 1: the DFS contest tonight. One of these times, we're gonna
Speaker 1: fill up enough spots for this contest to run play
Speaker 1: every week. Well, well, last week the culprits were Venturum
Speaker 1: and Steve not surprising, they didn't set their lineups. If
Speaker 1: they would have, it would have ran for money. Those
Speaker 1: were the two that we were missing. How do we
Speaker 1: do last How do I do last week? I don't know.
Speaker 1: What's a good question? Actually, overall, if you want to play,
Speaker 1: hit me up, send me your fan to user name
Speaker 1: will get you in here. I tweeted out the link
Speaker 1: last night too, so you can just click on that.
Speaker 1: Have you been contests in the past, you're already in it.
Speaker 1: Just go to the friends tab on FanDuel and set
Speaker 1: your line up. Just two dollar entry, top three positions
Speaker 1: play out. Please. We wanted to run for money like
Speaker 1: him in fourth last week? What do I do? God?
Speaker 1: You won? Did I again? Yeah? Not surprising. I'm I'm
Speaker 1: on a hot treak. I one yesterday too. I know
Speaker 1: a synderguard in my lineup? So what did you do
Speaker 1: better than me? Everything? It's usual? It was Lind That
Speaker 1: was really it, head Lind Door. I think you hit
Speaker 1: two home runs last Friday night and I we do
Speaker 1: have twenty members in here now, all right, So people
Speaker 1: just have to set their line up. Set your lineup. People.
Speaker 1: If there are people who are in this who do
Speaker 1: not set their lineup by let's say four or five pm,
Speaker 1: maybe again together tweeting the link back out, So let's
Speaker 1: fill this up one of those. We're also and our
Speaker 1: over two. We're giving away Yankee tickets, so be a
Speaker 1: looking up for that Yankee tickets for tonight. Pretty good
Speaker 1: seats too, right, really good seats, really good seats and
Speaker 1: a great game. Well maybe not from the Twins perspective.
Speaker 1: They have Kyle Gibson on the mound. What could be
Speaker 1: very good if you're like me and Greg, that's us
Speaker 1: stage Faxton on the mount tonight. Have we got an
Speaker 1: update from Agil and I have not seen it yet.
Speaker 1: Nothing yet. On who you're starting, I'm not gonna tell you.
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna tell everybody. There are some There are
Speaker 1: some interesting pictures though tonight. There's a lot of guys
Speaker 1: that I like, you look trying to get if you
Speaker 1: want to get any Rockies or d Backs in your
Speaker 1: lineup tonight, Greg, Oh my gosh, like Nick Ahmed's thirty
Speaker 1: dollars because they play in Colorado. Two starting pictures that
Speaker 1: I like, serious trying to do this one. I'll tell
Speaker 1: you one not to use Oay Tyler Anderson. I'm not
Speaker 1: gonna use Tyler and not use Tyler Anderson tonight being
Speaker 1: a pictures Frank, who's the must grow sneaky tonight. I
Speaker 1: do like, who's the top picture on the board to
Speaker 1: pick up of the waivers? Um. I guess it depends
Speaker 1: what you need because there are two star picking good picture.
Speaker 1: You need a good starting picture or reliever greg both
Speaker 1: would be helpful. Okay, So the top starting pitcher that
Speaker 1: I will give you that I think has legitimate staying
Speaker 1: power for me at least is Martine Perez. I'm a
Speaker 1: big fan of Martine Perez. We've talked about him this week.
Speaker 1: He's gonna end up having two starts next week, two
Speaker 1: very good matchups as well. I believe one of them
Speaker 1: is the Tigers. The other one might be the Blue Jays.
Speaker 1: Um and even with lad in the lineup, they haven't
Speaker 1: been hitting well and they're prone to striking out a lot.
Speaker 1: But Martine Perez did the other night against the Houston
Speaker 1: Astros just really earned my respect. That was a great start.
Speaker 1: He goes eight innings. I believe you had seven strikeouts.
Speaker 1: The velocity is up this year about two miles per hour.
Speaker 1: He's he's sitting where in the past he's been three,
Speaker 1: and he's using a cutter more around thirty percent of
Speaker 1: the time. So for me, Greg, it's Martine Perez. I
Speaker 1: don't think there's anyone worth breaking the bank for really
Speaker 1: this week, but if Martine Perez is out there fix
Speaker 1: something like that, and to me the top reliever. A
Speaker 1: lot of people have been asking the way, do I
Speaker 1: pick up robots? Do I pick up Kelly? Do I
Speaker 1: pick up a Melio? Pagans me it is Handsel robleist
Speaker 1: because and we spoke about this a lot yesterday. You
Speaker 1: go back and listen to our interview with Brad Ziegler.
Speaker 1: He kind of led us inside the mind of a
Speaker 1: reliever and how things are going in both the Angels
Speaker 1: and the Rangers bullpens. But I do think at some
Speaker 1: point this hear Jose Laclerk will be the closer again
Speaker 1: for the Rangers, whether or not it's because he's performing
Speaker 1: well again and they just want him in that role,
Speaker 1: or they trade away Shawn Kelly. With the Angels, they're
Speaker 1: not tied down to using Cody Allen. The Rangers situation
Speaker 1: is different. They have a young reliever and le clerk.
Speaker 1: They gave him a contract extension. They are tied to
Speaker 1: him somewhat for the future. The Angels are not Cody Allen.
Speaker 1: One year deal. He hasn't performed well, he's hurt. I
Speaker 1: think Handsel Roblist has staying power as the closer. How
Speaker 1: great will he be in that closer role? I do
Speaker 1: have my concerns. This is a guy who's giving up
Speaker 1: a lot of walks, given up a lot of home
Speaker 1: runs looking at you in the past. But they made
Speaker 1: a entrance video for this guy for crying out loud
Speaker 1: and awesome one at that with the Undertakers theme song.
Speaker 1: So they seem to like him a decent amount. And
Speaker 1: he has performed well so far this year. So if
Speaker 1: I had to give you one reliever, who's the top reliever?
Speaker 1: Pncil robost one starting pitcher for me, Greg, it's Martine Perez.
Speaker 1: Al Right, how much you dropping on him? To six percent?
Speaker 1: If you need a reliever, I would be a little
Speaker 1: bit more aggressive. Would you rather own Robost or Tye Buttery?
Speaker 1: I will stick with Robosts. I think what we've seen
Speaker 1: is a pretty good indication. Last night they had a
Speaker 1: four run lead. Ancil Robosts still came in the ninth ending.
Speaker 1: Wasn't a safe situation, but they're using him in the
Speaker 1: ninth inning for now already. Would you drop for Martine Perez?
Speaker 1: Would you drop Aaron Sanchez after what happened last night?
Speaker 1: I love Aaron Sanchez. Well, last night you probably didn't
Speaker 1: love Aaron Sanchez, did you, Frank? I didn't have him
Speaker 1: in any line up I did. It was poor, it
Speaker 1: went poorly. I'm sorry. Um, yeah, I would do that.
Speaker 1: I would make that move. The drop Zach would hurt
Speaker 1: my heart the entire last Would you drop drop back
Speaker 1: Brad Peacock for him? Yes, I don't know. That's close, man.

Speaker 1: Back with you all the fantasy best friends forever Fantasy
Speaker 1: Sports Radio Network. I gotta start a moss pitting here now, Hey,
Speaker 1: That's how I'll earn my respect, good respect, no respect.
Speaker 1: How are you, Gregy? Would you? Would you drop? Would
Speaker 1: Martine Perez? Now? I like Martine Perez though you always
Speaker 1: have really terrible since spring. That's sure you were loving
Speaker 1: him this spring. He's doing something different, Greg, and it
Speaker 1: reminds me a lot of Ecock's former teammate Charlie Important.
Speaker 1: A lot of people made that comp I see some
Speaker 1: of it. He's not getting as many swings and miss
Speaker 1: and not getting nearly as many strikeouts. But Martine Perez,
Speaker 1: he's been pretty effective. Man, talking about that Pecock got
Speaker 1: blown up the other day seven and runs. You mean
Speaker 1: Martine Perez talking that saves. By the way, you mentioned
Speaker 1: Hanzo rob Lass. Should we once again mentioned I p
Speaker 1: K Ian Patrick Kennedy. Nobody calls him I p K.
Speaker 1: It's not true, that's false. Who calls him I PK.
Speaker 1: Here's a Yankee prospect we all used to call him
Speaker 1: I p K. Well, you know I wasn't around back then. Greg.
Speaker 1: When was he actually the one of the top prospects.
Speaker 1: It must have been like early two thousands, so there's
Speaker 1: a big Yankee prospects. Was Phil a huge Joba Chamberlain
Speaker 1: and Ian Kennedy, so that era it was probably when
Speaker 1: I was in high school. I would say, yes, I
Speaker 1: wasn't as in tune with prospect shock back then. But
Speaker 1: you know you're already having like your third kid. I
Speaker 1: have not that you know of. I don't know a
Speaker 1: single kid. Uh yeah. Ian Kennedy, he looks like the
Speaker 1: closing for the Royals right now. While he peralta continues
Speaker 1: to struggle in the back end there, Brad Boxburger, I
Speaker 1: know a lot of people wanted Richard Lovelady to be
Speaker 1: a thing because of you did you wanted? It wasn't me,
Speaker 1: it was Florida, it was you know, let's let's keep
Speaker 1: it really great. Plus he's a lefty, so it's a
Speaker 1: little bit harder for him to earn a the closer's
Speaker 1: job there. Um yeah, I think Ian Kennedy is a guy.
Speaker 1: It's the problem in the Royals are not gonna win
Speaker 1: a lot of games, so how many same opportunities are
Speaker 1: you really going to get? And there's still a chance
Speaker 1: that they mix it up, and for whatever reason, they
Speaker 1: work in a guy like Peralta, So there's just there's
Speaker 1: more unknown there and they're just a bad team. So yes,
Speaker 1: I would take Robless over Ian Kennedy. Um, I think
Speaker 1: it's a little bit closer between Kennedy and Sean Kelly
Speaker 1: at he's the guy for now. Uh yeah, it probably
Speaker 1: would take Seawan Kelly too because the Rangers are hold
Speaker 1: Sean Kelly over Hans a robust thing. I didn't tell
Speaker 1: you to do that though, Just drop go out on
Speaker 1: like your own volition. Greg and like you make these
Speaker 1: moves and then you try and kind of flip the
Speaker 1: script like I told you to do it. I told
Speaker 1: you to pick up James McCanns. Just now, I told
Speaker 1: you to pick up hindsil Roblists. You don't listen to me.
Speaker 1: Should drop Sean Kelly Fords, you listen to me, Greg,
Speaker 1: you'd be doing a lot better, all right, Should drop
Speaker 1: Sean Kelly for hands Robiss, Yes, now I feel annoys man.
Speaker 1: Now minnois all right, So keep Sean Kelly. I don't
Speaker 1: want Sean Kelly. So why did you pick him up?
Speaker 1: I don't know. It's your own faults. This is so annoying, Frank.
Speaker 1: I'll mentioned a few other twelve team league adds here
Speaker 1: while you do your own little thing over. I'm back.
Speaker 1: I'm not doing anything. Jared I cough, who overall has
Speaker 1: been performing really well. And then Anthony Disclafani. We've talked
Speaker 1: about this at nauseum um the past couple of days.
Speaker 1: Two starts next week against the Giants, and the Giants
Speaker 1: doesn't get better than that. And then he disked Lafani
Speaker 1: and he's actually performing quite well. I believe he has
Speaker 1: like a zero point eight one ear a over his
Speaker 1: last time of the year. Man, whe everyone get excited
Speaker 1: about Anthony desk Lafani, he lets down. He's throwing his
Speaker 1: curveball more this year, Greg, and he's got fastball swinging.
Speaker 1: Strike rate is up. There's a bit to like about
Speaker 1: the start him now while it's still call him Cincinnati.
Speaker 1: That's so I can say I do like him. I
Speaker 1: picked him up in a few leagues. It's a two
Speaker 1: star pitcher next week, all right, just Sclafani your guy
Speaker 1: as a tow start pitcher four next week. One guy
Speaker 1: I added he owned in Yahoo leagues is Chris Bassett.
Speaker 1: Now I think briefly mentioned Bassett last week. He had
Speaker 1: two starts thus far this year, and he's pitch really
Speaker 1: well in both them. What five innings, allowed zero runs
Speaker 1: in his first start, Picker, but win with seven strikeouts.
Speaker 1: His next start, he went seven innings and allowed just
Speaker 1: to run, struck out nine. The quality start didn't get
Speaker 1: to win as Toronto came back. But Chris Bassett Man
Speaker 1: even on him. I'm interested. He's like this journeyman. I
Speaker 1: can't even call him a prospect. He's just a journeyman
Speaker 1: that the Opland ages are trying to find any pictures
Speaker 1: that they can throw out there and his first two stars,
Speaker 1: he gets sixteen strikeouts in twelve inings pat when we
Speaker 1: wonder and run. Now, he did go against Texas tough lineup,
Speaker 1: but that game was in Oko, so it's a little
Speaker 1: bit easier to to navigate through that line up when
Speaker 1: it's not in Arlington, Texas and they are prone to
Speaker 1: striking out, and the same thing for Toronto. They strike
Speaker 1: out a ton. So he had sixteen strikeouts in those
Speaker 1: two starts there. His swinging strike erate is massive. Again,
Speaker 1: it's only been two starts, but it's fourteen point four
Speaker 1: per cent. I'm looking at his usage, not really doing
Speaker 1: things that differently than before. To me, he's more of
Speaker 1: a fifteen team ad than it's twelve team add Gregg,
Speaker 1: I don't know. I wouldn't even rank him in the
Speaker 1: same category as guys like Perezfani and I Cough. I
Speaker 1: would take all three of those guys ahead of him.
Speaker 1: I think he's more of a fifteen team. Who does
Speaker 1: Baskett face next week? I think that's Pittsburgh tomorrow. Who
Speaker 1: really ATE's face late next week? Cincinnati early face. They
Speaker 1: are facing Cleveland, so be him against Cleveland, him against
Speaker 1: Trevor Bauer. That's what I'm seeing right now on May ten. Um,
Speaker 1: it's in Cleveland's line up. Even with the additions of
Speaker 1: Francisco Lindor, they still haven't been great. Nope, not firing yet. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but I don't know. I don't I don't love that
Speaker 1: start overall against power in the Indians, I don't love it.
Speaker 1: But I've keeping bade basket like in a fifteen team league. Again,
Speaker 1: if you need to starting pitching, you need streaming in
Speaker 1: the right matchup. Cleveland hasn't been getting it done. I
Speaker 1: could see starting him and maybe a fift team league
Speaker 1: because he starting the shallower than that. Obviously he's starting
Speaker 1: in the twelve team. He's a streamer when up picking
Speaker 1: him up, Like, I don't love the Cleveland start. If
Speaker 1: you could, would you pick him up for tomorrow start
Speaker 1: against Pittsburgh. Okay, so that's a stream that you would do,
Speaker 1: especially at Pittsburgh. It's a good ballpark to pitching loses
Speaker 1: the d H. He's normally he normally is used to
Speaker 1: pitching against the d H in the American League. Um, yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm fine with that. I'm finding a stream against Pittsburgh. Okay, Um,
Speaker 1: you pick him up over any of the pictures we mentioned,
Speaker 1: I would. I'd rather have all those guys over Bassett,
Speaker 1: But I think I do think he bass Its next,
Speaker 1: probably because the only other picture that I have on
Speaker 1: my list for this week is Tyler Beaty, who's making
Speaker 1: his twenty nineteen debut tomorrow, right tonight. So bed is
Speaker 1: starting tonight for the Giants. Four top prospects um for
Speaker 1: them pitch well thus far introval A, we've kind of
Speaker 1: been winning for not only get called up, but given
Speaker 1: a real opportunity, what do you expect to beat? He
Speaker 1: has strikeout upside, and I think he has talent. You know,
Speaker 1: he throws at mid nineties fastballs. I was reading into
Speaker 1: him last night. His favorite or most useful rather secondary
Speaker 1: offering is a changeup, So he has that fastball changeup combination.
Speaker 1: He can reach mid nineties with his fastball, but he's
Speaker 1: just struggled so much with command, and it's just that's
Speaker 1: been the biggest bugaboo for him. I think he has talent,
Speaker 1: but he hasn't really been able to limit the walks.
Speaker 1: Greg last year in the minors across three levels, the
Speaker 1: guy pitched eighty innings. He was used as a eleven starts,
Speaker 1: and he had twenty four relief appearances in fifty nine
Speaker 1: walks and eighty and his pitched he did average over
Speaker 1: a strikeout for ending. Again, I think he's talented. Maybe
Speaker 1: his long term future is out of the bullpen, where
Speaker 1: you know you only need him to get through one ending.
Speaker 1: He throws hard, he'll get you a strikeout. Maybe struggles
Speaker 1: with command, but that's all right because it's only one
Speaker 1: or two innings. Maybe that's his long term future. And
Speaker 1: you're right, he was a former top prospect, former first
Speaker 1: round pick. He's opt to way down the ranks in
Speaker 1: terms of the San Francisco Giants um prospects overall, just
Speaker 1: their top prospects, not that they have a great farm system.
Speaker 1: So that tells you everything that you need to know
Speaker 1: about Tyler Beatty. I think he he has upside, but
Speaker 1: he just hasn't really been able to put it together.
Speaker 1: And I don't know if pitching in at the major
Speaker 1: league level is gonna be where he figures out how
Speaker 1: to put it together. Greg. So to me, he's more
Speaker 1: of just a guy that I'm paying attention to, I'm scouting.
Speaker 1: We do normally, say in deeper leagues, I'd rather pick
Speaker 1: up someone one week earlier rather than one week late.
Speaker 1: So if you're playing the fifteen teamer and you have
Speaker 1: someone that's useless on your bench, you want to take
Speaker 1: a shot on him. If he pitches okay tonight, then
Speaker 1: that's fine. I don't have a problem with it, as
Speaker 1: long as you're not dropping anybody of value in a
Speaker 1: fifteen teamer anything shallower than that. He's nothing more than
Speaker 1: a scout for me right now, even like the main event.
Speaker 1: I'm asuming he's out there, very very deep league three
Speaker 1: rounds sonday us say he pitches relatively well tonight, Let's
Speaker 1: say equality, Oh that's great, which the quality start. He's
Speaker 1: not gonna leave the rotation? Is there no reason for
Speaker 1: him the late rotation? And he has upside because he
Speaker 1: pitches in San Francisco Ballpark? So would you would you
Speaker 1: be in the bidding on that? Maybe a small bid,
Speaker 1: Like here's what I have on my bench right now,
Speaker 1: I have Pablo Lopez. I'm not dropping Pabo Lopez for him.
Speaker 1: Aaron Sanchez, as bad as he's been, I still think
Speaker 1: he has more upside. At least we've seen him do
Speaker 1: it at the major league level. We haven't seen Tyler
Speaker 1: Beatty do it at the major league level, so I
Speaker 1: would keep Aaron Sanchez over him, and then my guy Greg,
Speaker 1: who you're probably gonna crush me for right now, and
Speaker 1: I'm still holding on. I'm not dropping it for Tyler Beaty.
Speaker 1: Right The Brewers need pitching, So once Jimmy Nelson is
Speaker 1: ready to go, he's gonna be in the rotation. If
Speaker 1: he's ever ready. What's Jimmy Nelson is ready to go?
Speaker 1: Where are you the one that's gonna tell me? He
Speaker 1: told me that it's gonna be their opening day and
Speaker 1: it wasn't opening days. Oh, a week or two in April.
Speaker 1: I didn't say that, I leave he told me April
Speaker 1: pretty probably said mid to late April. It spoiler alert,
Speaker 1: it's not April anymore. Okay, Who is the arguments latest
Speaker 1: update at a triple A soon? Who is the argument
Speaker 1: over Jimmy Nelson versus who? Do you remember? Who? I
Speaker 1: don't remember? Who have Anthony Swarzak? Would you would you
Speaker 1: drop Anthony Swarzak for Tyler Beaty? I think probably. I
Speaker 1: don't think I would, just because there's still a chance
Speaker 1: you get some saves out of Swarzac. You do he
Speaker 1: even start Swarzack that he's on my bench right now?
Speaker 1: Probably would I was behind the strikeout, so I just
Speaker 1: started reloading out on a bunch of starting pitchers in
Speaker 1: my line up. Here's uh, he's actually we forgot to
Speaker 1: put on the list that that should have been on
Speaker 1: the list, and that's Griffin Canning. Griffin Canning on of
Speaker 1: the leaves right now. I mean his first start against
Speaker 1: Toronto earlier this. I'm interested to see what the bidding
Speaker 1: is for him in the main event, because he's gonna
Speaker 1: he's gonna go for a decent amount of money. It
Speaker 1: looks like he's going to His next start is expected
Speaker 1: to come on Tuesday. I believe in Detroit. You're supposed
Speaker 1: to have a two star week next week. If things
Speaker 1: work out for him, we'll say so, Brad Ausmis does.
Speaker 1: I like what I saw at Griffin Canny. He had
Speaker 1: a ton of swinging strikes and first already has this
Speaker 1: kind of weird herky jerky delivery that he does sitting
Speaker 1: nine three miles probably with the fastball, uses a slider
Speaker 1: and a curveball, so he has two breaking pitches and
Speaker 1: there were some pretty nice bite on those breaking pitches.
Speaker 1: He wasn't efficient enough. He couldn't even get through five innings.
Speaker 1: But overall, I think the Angels are gonna leave him
Speaker 1: in the rotation because Boiler Alert their pitching sucks. So
Speaker 1: Griffin Canning is going to have a job in the
Speaker 1: Angels rotation and pretty good ballpark to pitching in Anaheim.
Speaker 1: I think in the main event this weekend, Greg, he's
Speaker 1: gonna go for over ten percent. So I think in
Speaker 1: deeper leagues fifteen teamers, that's probably what you're looking at,
Speaker 1: and eleven percent for Griffin Canning. Um, But in your
Speaker 1: twelve teamers and your home leagues. You know your home
Speaker 1: league better than we do. Definitely, if they're aggressive on
Speaker 1: younger players, then you know that you're gonna have to
Speaker 1: maybe eight to ten percent. But overall, in the twelve
Speaker 1: teamer I think he goes for less than you know
Speaker 1: that ten eleven, twelve percent that he's probably gonna go for.
Speaker 1: Team leagues are deep. So I do like him. You
Speaker 1: like him better than this some of the pictures and
Speaker 1: named I like him more than Bassett. I'll take also
Speaker 1: take Martine Perez over him. Well, so we talk about
Speaker 1: I would take mm hmm. I think Griffin Canning has
Speaker 1: higher upside and the Scolfani. But I do like the
Speaker 1: Skolfani a decent amount. But I would say Griffin Canning
Speaker 1: over him. There was one other pictures we talked about. Oh,
Speaker 1: JAREDI cough. Interesting, Um, I'll take a cough. There had
Speaker 1: a great ballpark to picton in Philly, but should get
Speaker 1: a lot of run support. He looked really good, tho
Speaker 1: far I like Jarediko. Before we wrap up the hour,
Speaker 1: we have to talk a cool name of theory. We
Speaker 1: definitely have. We have to talk a cool nan theory
Speaker 1: because sky Bolt is a real human being and he
Speaker 1: was just just called to What did you tell us
Speaker 1: about sky Bolts? Greg, I can tell you nothing about
Speaker 1: sky Bolt other than evidently that's his real name. He's
Speaker 1: an outfielder. For the age. He wasn't one of their
Speaker 1: top top prospects. He's twenty five years old already. Um.
Speaker 1: He was added to the Major League forty men roster
Speaker 1: after last season, began this year playing in Vegas, and
Speaker 1: got promoted today. That's what I can tell you about Skybold.
Speaker 1: Sky Bolts nineteen rank prospect according to MLB Dot com
Speaker 1: in the Oakland A's organization. Sky Bold my Usain Bolt
Speaker 1: impression there, but overall, you give me a little bit
Speaker 1: of a Derek Fisher field, greg Um, not former Nick's
Speaker 1: coach Derek Fisher, UH Houston Astros Derek Fisher. He has
Speaker 1: an interesting power speed combination, struggles a little bit with strikeouts,
Speaker 1: but also walks a decent amount as well. You know,
Speaker 1: he's been consistently over ten percent walkret in the minor
Speaker 1: leagues last year. Nineteen home runs, nineteen stolen bases, but
Speaker 1: hit two sixties. So because of those strikeouts probably limits
Speaker 1: what he could do with the batting average. This year,
Speaker 1: I will say he's been he's been better. He's batting
Speaker 1: three five so he has been making more contact. Six homers,
Speaker 1: twenty seven ribbies so far this year he said eight
Speaker 1: double He's got three stolen bases, so a decent power
Speaker 1: speed combination. And Greg, I don't think you know, Robbie
Speaker 1: Grossman being there is gonna stop Skybolt from getting playing time.
Speaker 1: They like him enough to call him up. I think
Speaker 1: he's gonna play every day. He's a switch hitter, so
Speaker 1: you do not have to worry about splits. I do
Speaker 1: find it interesting Greg that they opted to call him
Speaker 1: up before they call up Dustin Fowler, former prospectedly the
Speaker 1: Yankees who they got in the sunny great trade. Who's
Speaker 1: there is the opening days? It was last year he
Speaker 1: was opening yeah, or he was up at some point
Speaker 1: he was there. He was playing every day, yeah, last year,
Speaker 1: but it just didn't work out. He hasn't necessarily put
Speaker 1: it together yet. So sky Bolt, twelve teamers, I'm not
Speaker 1: doing it, but fifteen teamers. You need five out fielders,
Speaker 1: interesting power, speed combination. I could see taking a shot
Speaker 1: three four, something like that. Look, five out fielders, anyone
Speaker 1: who has a pulse, anyone who starts every single day
Speaker 1: you kind of have your eye on. And he does
Speaker 1: have prospects status and he has an awsome name. So
Speaker 1: we play in what three, four or fifteen teamers who
Speaker 1: have small bids on him? Oh? Will I only give
Speaker 1: this the cool Land theory. That's the only reason. Yeah, nice,
Speaker 1: go us about that, sky Boult no relation to use
Speaker 1: save my understanding other days to talk about earlier in
Speaker 1: the week was pretended jury. How you Kendricks still continues
Speaker 1: to play, still continues to be hot for the uh
Speaker 1: for the Gnats. Yeah, he's absolutely mashing this year too.
Speaker 1: And Brandon Jury. Brian Reynolds, I'm sorry, I Brian Reynolds.
Speaker 1: Brian Reynolds another one here that just has really good
Speaker 1: bats and ball skills. I think he can help you
Speaker 1: with batting average. I think he's gonna play most of
Speaker 1: the time for It's Bergen. You look at his last
Speaker 1: five games, he has a hit and every single one
Speaker 1: he had a he had a clutch home run in
Speaker 1: I believe it was extra endings the other day against
Speaker 1: the Texas Rangers. That was right after the jose La
Speaker 1: Clark implosion. But I think he has some offside. He's
Speaker 1: he's severely outperforming col Tucker right now on the same team.
Speaker 1: So again, five outfielders. We spoke about him a few
Speaker 1: weeks ago when he first got called up a small
Speaker 1: bid here to three whatever. You just want to see
Speaker 1: what he could do. But he was the guy who
Speaker 1: hit for good batting average in the Miners. Came over
Speaker 1: from the Giants and Andrew mccutchon trade. Um wasn't a
Speaker 1: huge prospect for them. I think he was like a
Speaker 1: top ten prospect for the Pittsburgh Pirates. But I think
Speaker 1: he's a guy that can for batting average if nothing else. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think so too. He's getting an opportunity to play
Speaker 1: every day. At the moment, as you said, it's performing
Speaker 1: better than Cold Tucker. I want Corey Dickerson his bag.
Speaker 1: You still play every day? Probably not. Well, let's let's
Speaker 1: get there first, right, let's get there first. Five outfielders.
Speaker 1: That's where you pick up a guy like Brian Reynolds.
Speaker 1: Where did a break? I have a lot of games
Speaker 1: I want to play, and I want to get the
Speaker 1: phone lines rocking. You want to It's night's Yankee game.
Speaker 1: You call it right now at eight four four eight
Speaker 1: four three six eight seven nine eight four four eight
Speaker 1: four three six eight seven nine, we're gonna win six
Speaker 1: naked and rattles m
