Oh, I'm not laughing at you, Craig, 0:02:11.560 --> 0:02:14.160 I'm laughing with you. So we fired Craig Mish, but 0:02:14.240 --> 0:02:15.760 you still host the fs T. Do you want to 0:02:15.800 --> 0:02:20.200 know who you hosted it with? Um? I do want 0:02:20.200 --> 0:02:23.480 to know. So I guess it was FST with Frank 0:02:23.520 --> 0:02:29.040 Staffle and my dad Rob. Susan's right, it was you 0:02:29.120 --> 0:02:31.880 and Rob hosted f S Day whenever the Fantasy League 0:02:31.919 --> 0:02:35.959 gets a fresh pair of socks, sir. So that was 0:02:37.160 --> 0:02:40.760 We worked on some wedding album stuff. Very it was fun. 0:02:40.840 --> 0:02:43.680 We were all the same side, which was nice. It's hard, man, 0:02:43.919 --> 0:02:47.480 it's really hard. Wedding album. Oh you're creating your Yeah, 0:02:47.560 --> 0:02:50.160 you gotta pick out pictures before you like, Yeah, officially done. 0:02:50.160 --> 0:02:51.840 I'll tell you about it during the update and somebody 0:02:51.840 --> 0:02:54.400 else cares um. But we got that. We got Relief 0:02:54.440 --> 0:02:56.880 Picture rankings, our debut. With the rankings, we're going backwards. 0:02:56.919 --> 0:02:59.320 Everybody else that starts to catcher, we don't. We started 0:02:59.320 --> 0:03:01.320 the Relief Picture akings. We had some NBA to talk 0:03:01.320 --> 0:03:04.320 about as well before we do any of that. Shan 0:03:04.360 --> 0:03:14.640 Glassmachia your sports trading us up. I'm John Glossomakia with 0:03:14.880 --> 0:03:18.839 your sports trade news update. All right. Kobe Bryant remembered 0:03:19.280 --> 0:03:22.679 right now going on at the Staples Center in Los Angeles. 0:03:23.120 --> 0:03:27.040 His widow, Vanessa Bryant calls Kobe m v P of 0:03:27.160 --> 0:03:30.840 girls Dad's and she went on to say, God knew 0:03:31.400 --> 0:03:34.120 that Gianna and Kobe couldn't be together on the start 0:03:34.160 --> 0:03:36.760 without each other. He had to bring them home. And 0:03:36.920 --> 0:03:40.840 you have them together, babe, you take care of our 0:03:41.280 --> 0:03:44.760 g end. Quote. So a lot of emotions raging right 0:03:44.800 --> 0:03:47.280 now at the Staples Center as they remember Kobe and 0:03:47.320 --> 0:03:50.960 Gianna Bryant. Let's go over to the NHL and they 0:03:51.000 --> 0:03:54.480 trade deadline. One of the more key names on the 0:03:54.520 --> 0:03:58.680 waiver wire or the trade rumor mill was Chris Criter. 0:03:58.920 --> 0:04:01.200 He was, of of course, the New York Rangers forward. 0:04:01.880 --> 0:04:05.120 He's no longer on the trade rumor mill. He is 0:04:05.160 --> 0:04:07.600 locked up for seven years. Of twenty eight year old 0:04:07.720 --> 0:04:11.920 signed a six point five annual average value deal with 0:04:11.960 --> 0:04:14.160 the New York Rangers. He has four goals and one 0:04:14.160 --> 0:04:17.440 assists in sixty games this season. Set to break a 0:04:17.480 --> 0:04:20.040 career high in both categories. He is now a New 0:04:20.080 --> 0:04:22.919 York ranger for the next seven years. We think he 0:04:23.040 --> 0:04:25.360 is locked up, so he is no longer on the 0:04:25.400 --> 0:04:27.960 trade rumor Mill All right, let's go over to the 0:04:28.080 --> 0:04:32.520 Rodal world and MLB hands a road lest the Angels closer. 0:04:32.640 --> 0:04:35.240 That's what Joe Madden, the manager said today. He's pretty 0:04:35.240 --> 0:04:38.680 safe bet to begin the season as the team's closer. 0:04:39.000 --> 0:04:42.000 Last year he saved twenty three games with a two 0:04:42.080 --> 0:04:45.600 point four three e R, a seventy five K, sixteen 0:04:45.720 --> 0:04:49.279 walks in seventy two and two thirds innings. Last seasons 0:04:49.760 --> 0:04:52.880 hands a road least now the closer, according to Joe 0:04:52.920 --> 0:04:56.599 Mann and the Angels owner. So that's some BFFs news 0:04:56.680 --> 0:05:00.000 right there. And friend Mill Rays, the Cleveland Indians outfielder 0:05:00.040 --> 0:05:03.760 has dropped eighteen pounds in the off season. He hit 0:05:03.839 --> 0:05:07.320 over thirty home runs for the Padres last year or so. 0:05:07.880 --> 0:05:11.679 He isn't known to be a defensive liability. Losing eighteen 0:05:11.720 --> 0:05:15.560 pounds might help in your fantasy traps there. If you 0:05:15.640 --> 0:05:19.440 are a big Friend Mobrays fan, that is your BFF 0:05:19.520 --> 0:05:22.200 sports grid news update for this hour. Now back to 0:05:22.360 --> 0:05:26.040 Greg and Frank take it away all right, Thanks so much, Sean. 0:05:26.120 --> 0:05:27.640 And we mentioned at the top of the show we're 0:05:27.680 --> 0:05:30.359 gonna be talking about closers and relief pitchers here in 0:05:30.440 --> 0:05:33.120 terms of fantasy baseball. But before we do all that, 0:05:33.400 --> 0:05:35.640 we did want to jump a little bit into the 0:05:35.800 --> 0:05:39.640 NBA here. Earlier today, our own Greg Sussman spoke with 0:05:39.720 --> 0:05:44.799 Daily Rhodo's Ricky Sanders about tonight's NBA DFS slate. Here's 0:05:44.800 --> 0:05:54.799 who you should be building your lineups around tonight. Let's 0:05:55.200 --> 0:05:57.720 complete the Philly triffect to hear with you. Well embed 0:05:57.760 --> 0:06:01.520 at center, Dude Emvite Janice Dodges. How are you pulling 0:06:01.560 --> 0:06:05.440 this off? Well, we didn't mention Kendrick not a point 0:06:05.440 --> 0:06:07.640 guard who's under five k, which is just a crazy 0:06:07.680 --> 0:06:10.679 price tag for him. So again, if you're playing Richardson 0:06:10.760 --> 0:06:12.640 and you're playing him all of a sudden, you can 0:06:12.760 --> 0:06:16.159 pull it off with relative ease. But look, I mean 0:06:17.000 --> 0:06:20.240 Joel embiid against this Atlanta Hawks team that again allows 0:06:20.320 --> 0:06:23.200 a ton of stocks. It's just a great setup in itself. 0:06:23.600 --> 0:06:26.400 And then you have Ben Simmons out of rotation, and 0:06:26.480 --> 0:06:29.120 without Ben Simmons, Joel embiad isp posted to like a 0:06:29.200 --> 0:06:34.240 thirty five percent usage rate, a rebound rate that's gone up. 0:06:34.360 --> 0:06:37.160 We haven't had a twenty five percent rebound rate baseline 0:06:37.200 --> 0:06:39.880 on Daily Rhodo. Obviously, Ben Simmons a good rebounder, and 0:06:40.440 --> 0:06:44.200 you know as a point guard, and you look at 0:06:44.240 --> 0:06:48.160 this matchup, I mean, it's just great. This Hawks team 0:06:48.160 --> 0:06:50.919 has not covered center as well all year long. You know, 0:06:51.040 --> 0:06:54.240 Joel Embiid could get you those blocks, and that's beyond 0:06:54.600 --> 0:06:57.960 you know, we haven't projected with a high usage rate, 0:06:58.520 --> 0:07:02.760 high assist rate, a high rebound rates rate. In fact, 0:07:02.760 --> 0:07:06.159 with Ben Simmons out, So Joel Embiid just does everything. 0:07:06.200 --> 0:07:08.320 It's a great spot for him. It's a great matchup, 0:07:08.440 --> 0:07:10.960 and it he really doesn't matter. With Tobias Harris, I 0:07:11.000 --> 0:07:13.480 think he's gonna be the focal point of his offense. Hey, 0:07:13.480 --> 0:07:15.080 you haven't. I got an opportunity to talk to Ricky 0:07:15.120 --> 0:07:17.600 earlier today you will be the sixers. That's where we're looking. 0:07:17.680 --> 0:07:21.560 No Ben Simmons tonight, Harris's questionable. So before you check 0:07:22.040 --> 0:07:23.360 to finalize your line ups, I don't know what to 0:07:23.400 --> 0:07:26.680 Daily Order dot Com to set them. Yeah, it's a 0:07:26.720 --> 0:07:28.920 great point. Look, whenever Ben Simmons is out, Greg you're 0:07:28.920 --> 0:07:30.920 looking to build your teams around some of those seventies 0:07:30.920 --> 0:07:32.520 sixers players, and it makes a lot of sense. You 0:07:32.600 --> 0:07:35.360 heard it from Ricky Sanders. Joel embiid usage rate up 0:07:35.400 --> 0:07:38.800 over thirty five per cent when Ben Simmons is not 0:07:38.920 --> 0:07:41.960 on the floor. So you're looking to fill out your 0:07:42.200 --> 0:07:44.440 DFS lineups tonight trying to figure out who to build 0:07:44.440 --> 0:07:47.360 around Greg, I think Joel and beat the process makes 0:07:47.360 --> 0:07:49.200 the most sense, of course. Not trust it, man, you 0:07:49.200 --> 0:07:51.760 gott trust the process. There you go Daily Order dot Com. 0:07:51.880 --> 0:07:54.960 Make sure you check that out. But be four lineups 0:07:55.080 --> 0:07:58.880 lock tonight, righty? Should we start our relief as your rankings? Yeah? Yeah, 0:07:58.960 --> 0:08:02.920 let's do it all right? So I have I have rankings. 0:08:03.840 --> 0:08:07.240 Greg has rankings, Frank rankings. No, No, what are you 0:08:07.240 --> 0:08:08.600 talking about? Right? What is this right here that I'm 0:08:08.600 --> 0:08:11.320 looking at? That's Fantasy Pros rankings. Rank No, those are 0:08:11.400 --> 0:08:14.920 my rankings, which go on Fantasy Pross whatever. Five most 0:08:14.960 --> 0:08:19.200 accurate rank about nine. I haven't released the yet. I 0:08:19.200 --> 0:08:21.720 believe I saw they did. Well, then I'm not on it. 0:08:21.760 --> 0:08:23.400 I did. I'm not even kidding. I did see it. 0:08:23.560 --> 0:08:25.760 Did I don't know? I did see they did? Then 0:08:26.520 --> 0:08:28.520 ruses on it. I did not rank very highly and 0:08:28.720 --> 0:08:32.600 rhonases on it. Now you piqued my interest. All right, anyway, 0:08:32.720 --> 0:08:34.600 if you look over here on my computer, look at 0:08:34.600 --> 0:08:37.640 this color CODEDE sheet. I got my color codes ready 0:08:37.679 --> 0:08:39.920 to rock with the relief pitchers, considering this is the 0:08:39.960 --> 0:08:44.840 only show draft accuracy out yet. I saw draft projections. 0:08:44.920 --> 0:08:49.000 Then I saw raft projection injections. I saw I'm I'm 0:08:49.000 --> 0:08:50.280 not even making it up. I don't even know what 0:08:50.280 --> 0:08:51.800 that means. Then I will find it during the break 0:08:51.800 --> 0:08:53.680 for you. All right, Well, they haven't released the twenty 0:08:53.800 --> 0:08:57.960 nineteen draft accuracy rankings from last year. We're still waiting 0:08:57.960 --> 0:09:00.800 on those. All right, I'm sure I finished, like number one, 0:09:01.080 --> 0:09:03.000 Chris MENI got something, that's how I know. And I 0:09:03.080 --> 0:09:07.079 saw this a color coded movie. You want? This is 0:09:07.120 --> 0:09:08.960 what I'm gonna do is better room may that's Venmo, 0:09:09.040 --> 0:09:11.880 Greg solid. I don't know what do you charge for 0:09:11.920 --> 0:09:14.560 that nowadays? You know cool? A couple of suckles were good, 0:09:14.600 --> 0:09:19.640 A couple of cecles. You rather have w W E 0:09:19.760 --> 0:09:22.839 network or the Greg network. So I was was trying 0:09:22.880 --> 0:09:29.439 to make these rankings, uh previously five minutes ago, and um, 0:09:29.480 --> 0:09:31.440 I have a really hard time this year. And this 0:09:31.480 --> 0:09:33.920 is what I'm hoping to use the show for trying 0:09:33.920 --> 0:09:36.160 to figure out like where the first here ends and 0:09:36.160 --> 0:09:38.040 the next year begins, and then that's here after that. 0:09:38.160 --> 0:09:40.280 Like I'm all about tears, you know that about me, 0:09:40.760 --> 0:09:42.600 But it's really hard for me to kind of figure 0:09:42.640 --> 0:09:46.400 out who's elite and who's not because I really think 0:09:46.480 --> 0:09:50.560 that truly, every closer on the board I think hasn't 0:09:50.600 --> 0:09:54.840 been wrong with them as like a welt, And because 0:09:54.920 --> 0:09:57.439 of that, I don't my tears are like much larger. 0:09:57.440 --> 0:10:00.640 They're literally impacts of ten. Franc I literally have two 0:10:00.760 --> 0:10:03.080 packs of ten for the first nineteen or you know, 0:10:03.200 --> 0:10:10.560 essentially pac ten the first nineteen relief pictures off my board. Yeah, 0:10:10.600 --> 0:10:12.880 I mean, look, the closer position is always a tough 0:10:12.920 --> 0:10:15.640 one to figure out for fantasy purposes. And obviously if 0:10:15.679 --> 0:10:18.679 you play in Rhodo or head to Add Categories, saves 0:10:18.720 --> 0:10:20.800 count for a lot more. Honestly, if you play in 0:10:20.840 --> 0:10:23.000 head to Add Categories, I would probably just punt some 0:10:23.120 --> 0:10:26.040 on bases and punt saves. But that's just me. I 0:10:26.080 --> 0:10:27.960 know that there's a lot of strategy built around, you know, 0:10:28.160 --> 0:10:30.520 getting those elite relievers in that type of format if 0:10:30.559 --> 0:10:32.280 you want to and head to head points leagues, they're 0:10:32.280 --> 0:10:36.480 not nearly as valuable. But yeah, Greg, look, I think 0:10:36.480 --> 0:10:38.880 the position now is harder to figure out than ever 0:10:38.920 --> 0:10:43.400 before because as we go through today and try and 0:10:43.440 --> 0:10:46.960 figure out, you know, every team's closing situation, you're gonna 0:10:46.960 --> 0:10:50.480 see that there's at least five, six, seven teams that 0:10:50.520 --> 0:10:53.120 are going to have multiple closers or don't have a 0:10:53.200 --> 0:10:56.240 set closer right now. Gabe Kapler's out in San Francisco. 0:10:56.480 --> 0:10:58.480 If you watch the BFFs the past couple of years, 0:10:58.559 --> 0:11:00.920 you know, I hate Gabe Kapitler because he can never 0:11:00.920 --> 0:11:02.880 figure out who his closure is gonna be. You know, 0:11:03.120 --> 0:11:05.360 he changes it up every single day based on match. 0:11:05.400 --> 0:11:07.080 So it was based on this, based on that, you know, 0:11:07.160 --> 0:11:10.120 analytics for his closers. Uh, And now, well, I guess 0:11:10.160 --> 0:11:12.320 he's got a fun job to figure out who's gonna 0:11:12.360 --> 0:11:14.160 use out there in San Francisco because A they're not 0:11:14.160 --> 0:11:15.880 gonna win a lot of games, Greg, and B I 0:11:15.880 --> 0:11:18.840 don't think they really have that many great relievers in general. 0:11:18.960 --> 0:11:24.040 So like most years, I would say this year is uh, 0:11:24.080 --> 0:11:26.040 it's an interesting situation trying to figure out all these 0:11:26.040 --> 0:11:28.520 closing situations. There's a lot of question marks. This year, 0:11:28.559 --> 0:11:31.120 We're gonna break down, starting at the top. When we 0:11:31.200 --> 0:11:35.679 come back the BFS roll on here on Monday. After this, 0:11:39.760 --> 0:11:42.520 I want to be the next Daily Fantasy Millionaire.

Next week, we're that's that time 0:12:23.120 --> 0:12:25.920 of year. We're getting the mark. Next week's March. We 0:12:26.040 --> 0:12:28.280 basically have to do two weeks worth of ranking shows. 0:12:28.280 --> 0:12:30.960 Grego's next. We're gonna have to spend like two days 0:12:30.960 --> 0:12:34.280 on out fielders, two days I'm starting pitchers. That's the 0:12:34.360 --> 0:12:38.760 next two weeks, right, and then next week what's up 0:12:38.760 --> 0:12:42.720 the draft? Next week? No, right, it's not what draft auction? Draft? No, no, no, 0:12:43.559 --> 0:12:49.160 the auction is after it's like Thursday. I got on 0:12:49.240 --> 0:12:55.280 my calendar here March March twelfth. Next week's the fifth 0:12:55.360 --> 0:12:58.280 ready that I wasn't so crazy to ask. You're not 0:12:58.360 --> 0:13:01.520 far off. You didn't realize that was close? Yeah, you're 0:13:01.600 --> 0:13:03.640 You're not wrong. There's two weeks from this. Thursday is 0:13:03.640 --> 0:13:09.240 our first draft of the year. I mean, good times. 0:13:09.400 --> 0:13:12.520 I'm already nervous. Why we're gonna crush you? We already? 0:13:12.559 --> 0:13:15.800 You already have a list? Do I do the list? 0:13:15.800 --> 0:13:19.080 Hashtag list um. Who was listening to the show Dane 0:13:19.200 --> 0:13:22.160 Dane Martears listen to the show last week and he 0:13:22.160 --> 0:13:24.040 heard of our strategy a little bit about how I 0:13:24.040 --> 0:13:27.120 want to piss everybody off. He enjoyed the show, he 0:13:27.160 --> 0:13:30.720 says me. He says, let's succeed every year. He's not wrong. 0:13:32.720 --> 0:13:35.600 All I do is have fun. Let's go greatly jumping right. 0:13:35.840 --> 0:13:38.480 Let's jump right in here today and let's get into 0:13:38.480 --> 0:13:41.920 the closers. As I mentioned my top tier and asked 0:13:41.920 --> 0:13:43.679 Frank right before the show starting, where is the top 0:13:43.720 --> 0:13:46.520 tier end? And he's like, there's four guys and then 0:13:46.520 --> 0:13:48.839 there's everybody else. But I was looking at the four 0:13:48.880 --> 0:13:52.600 guys and I'm like, I think there's issues. So for me, 0:13:53.880 --> 0:13:57.920 I got like nine guys. I feel very comfortable draking 0:13:57.920 --> 0:13:59.560 any of these guys. I don't want to spend on 0:13:59.640 --> 0:14:02.080 any of the top four because I like the other 0:14:02.200 --> 0:14:05.640 six more just as much. And to be fair, I've 0:14:05.679 --> 0:14:07.720 done two drafts already, Greg, and I have not wound 0:14:07.800 --> 0:14:10.480 up with either of the top four closures that I 0:14:10.520 --> 0:14:13.839 have in that top tier um anyway, So I mean 0:14:13.880 --> 0:14:15.720 that's not how That's usually what I do when it 0:14:15.720 --> 0:14:18.559 comes to relief pictures in rhoto leagues and head to 0:14:18.640 --> 0:14:21.760 end categories leagues. I am going to more often than 0:14:21.800 --> 0:14:24.240 not to wait for those top five or six to go. 0:14:24.360 --> 0:14:27.240 I'll wind up with one of my top ten closers Greg, 0:14:27.400 --> 0:14:30.680 then I'll probably jump in the eleven to fifteen range, 0:14:31.040 --> 0:14:33.280 and then maybe just add a few more speculative guys 0:14:33.280 --> 0:14:35.440 swords the back end of the draft. But more often 0:14:35.440 --> 0:14:37.040 than not, I don't wind up with one of the 0:14:37.080 --> 0:14:40.680 top five closures, Greg, because the value is just too high. 0:14:41.200 --> 0:14:44.000 So here's the thing. I got nineteen guys. As I 0:14:44.040 --> 0:14:47.800 mentioned that I like nineteen of them, I want two 0:14:47.840 --> 0:14:49.920 of the nineteen. That's fair. I think that makes a 0:14:49.920 --> 0:14:52.040 lot of sense. Yeah, And I'm not gonna spend up 0:14:52.560 --> 0:14:54.720 for the number one closer, who is Josh Hayter this 0:14:54.760 --> 0:14:57.320 year coming off the board. And I'm not gonna spend 0:14:57.360 --> 0:15:00.560 up for Curbs, who's traditionally number two, And there might 0:15:00.640 --> 0:15:02.640 number one and two also, I just don't see myself 0:15:02.640 --> 0:15:04.720 spending up. I'm gonna wait and wait and wait and 0:15:04.800 --> 0:15:06.800 take two of my top nine team. So let's go 0:15:06.840 --> 0:15:08.160 through some of the top guys. I want to tell 0:15:08.160 --> 0:15:12.880 you why I'm like pausing rather than drafting these players, 0:15:12.920 --> 0:15:15.360 because like I think they have welts and number one, 0:15:15.480 --> 0:15:17.680 we have Josh Hayden, number two, Curvy eighth, number three 0:15:17.760 --> 0:15:21.000 or all this, Chapman, number four, Roberto oh soona and 0:15:21.040 --> 0:15:22.760 that's like the consensus top four, right, That's what you 0:15:22.840 --> 0:15:25.320 told me, that top serious, correct, That's what it is 0:15:25.360 --> 0:15:28.320 for me. Okay, So those are the top four. Now 0:15:28.920 --> 0:15:31.920 the reason I don't want to spend up for them, 0:15:32.040 --> 0:15:34.720 I will go with the ones that are clearer to me. 0:15:35.560 --> 0:15:38.600 Rollis Chapman a lot of miles on that arm. We've 0:15:38.600 --> 0:15:40.800 seen him be pulled in the closer roll before, we've 0:15:40.840 --> 0:15:42.600 seen him go on the I l a couple of 0:15:42.680 --> 0:15:46.920 times elbow injuries, shoulder injuries. You wonder if all of 0:15:47.040 --> 0:15:50.040 these pitches, all of these years, and that knee issue 0:15:50.080 --> 0:15:53.760 that always recurs, you wonder if it catches up to 0:15:53.840 --> 0:15:56.520 him at some point. Again, not I I don't like. 0:15:56.560 --> 0:15:59.320 Are all the Chapman's right. Number three closer issues are 0:15:59.360 --> 0:16:03.480 about Herby Yates led the MLB and saves last year 0:16:03.520 --> 0:16:05.160 with forty one saves. We were just talking about it 0:16:05.200 --> 0:16:09.840 during the break, Frank forty one saves he had. But 0:16:10.480 --> 0:16:12.440 I believe it's a free agent to be or is 0:16:12.480 --> 0:16:15.120 this just the year left? The Padres thought about trading 0:16:15.160 --> 0:16:18.240 him last year at the deadline. They didn't this year. 0:16:18.240 --> 0:16:20.840 If they fall out of it, they're going to just 0:16:21.040 --> 0:16:23.520 like they did Brad Hand before him. And if Kurby 0:16:23.560 --> 0:16:26.360 Yates goes, somebody else will stop up. Amilio Pagan. I 0:16:26.440 --> 0:16:30.000 just traded for very good, very good reliever, Herby Yates, 0:16:30.000 --> 0:16:33.840 the number two. Costing what he costs, it doesn't seem 0:16:33.840 --> 0:16:36.360 worth it to me. And then you have Josh Hayder, 0:16:36.680 --> 0:16:39.720 who is amazing the best reliever in baseball. Oh right, 0:16:40.360 --> 0:16:43.360 he has all these multi inning appearances. They deploy him 0:16:43.400 --> 0:16:45.800 whenever they want to. This is the issue we said 0:16:45.800 --> 0:16:48.080 with him coming in the last season, and they had 0:16:48.200 --> 0:16:50.960 a bunch of relievers in Milwaukee that could wind up 0:16:51.000 --> 0:16:53.960 getting this job at some point or stealing saves. Hayter's 0:16:53.960 --> 0:16:55.640 the guy, He's the number one guy. He's the best 0:16:55.640 --> 0:16:58.320 out of these players. What if you're just specifically looking 0:16:58.360 --> 0:17:01.400 for saves at you have questions when it comes to 0:17:01.480 --> 0:17:04.680 Josh had Finally, Ronny at the top four is a Rhodo, 0:17:04.800 --> 0:17:09.359 So he's a cheater. Well they got that's all you got. Well, 0:17:09.400 --> 0:17:12.159 it's worth mentioning that our own Craig miss who was 0:17:12.160 --> 0:17:15.600 still on Fantasy Sports today by the way, him Greg's 0:17:15.640 --> 0:17:19.080 dad did not replace Craig Mish spoke with Alex Bregman 0:17:19.160 --> 0:17:22.240 over the weekend. We're at I don't know where, somewhere 0:17:22.240 --> 0:17:25.080 at spring training wherever they are, somewhere in Florida, and uh, 0:17:25.119 --> 0:17:27.399 he said that Roberto Soona is going to lead all 0:17:27.440 --> 0:17:29.199 of baseball and saves and subcaraus I can see that. 0:17:29.400 --> 0:17:32.200 Like to me, it's not crazy, you know, cost the least, 0:17:32.840 --> 0:17:35.360 it may lead them and saves like the most. He's 0:17:35.400 --> 0:17:37.359 probably the one that I'm most likely to draft, just 0:17:37.400 --> 0:17:40.040 based on So you look at the adp over at 0:17:40.040 --> 0:17:41.760 the Fantasy pros right now, we're gonna put him in 0:17:41.760 --> 0:17:44.439 white on the on the rankings, and Josh Hayder is 0:17:44.480 --> 0:17:48.200 going off the board at fifty seven overall. So I mean, look, 0:17:48.200 --> 0:17:49.920 that's a steep price that you're talking about. In a 0:17:49.960 --> 0:17:51.840 twelve team league, you have to use a fifth round 0:17:51.840 --> 0:17:53.800 pick on a closer. Mind you, you're gonna get the 0:17:53.800 --> 0:17:55.280 best closer in the game. You're gonna get a ton 0:17:55.320 --> 0:17:58.080 of strikeouts, great ratios from Josh Hayter as well, But 0:17:58.160 --> 0:18:00.200 that is a big price tag to pay up. You're 0:18:00.240 --> 0:18:03.040 passing up on, you know, legit top twenty starting pitchers, 0:18:03.080 --> 0:18:06.160 you're passing up on stolen bases, which are scarce category 0:18:06.640 --> 0:18:08.840 as well. Curby Yates, I'm with you, Greg, I think 0:18:08.880 --> 0:18:12.240 he's awesome. The sub too e er. Last year he's 0:18:12.280 --> 0:18:14.240 ridiculous and we were all over him. I actually wound 0:18:14.359 --> 0:18:17.480 up with a few shares of Curby rates last season. Uh. 0:18:17.600 --> 0:18:20.600 Phenomenal splitter, no doubt about it. We think you raise 0:18:20.680 --> 0:18:24.200 a great point that they already have traded away Brad 0:18:24.240 --> 0:18:26.879 Hand in the past, they were thinking about trading away 0:18:27.119 --> 0:18:30.720 Kirby Yates. Last year they just traded four and they 0:18:30.760 --> 0:18:35.040 gave up some assets together anymore. Amilio Pagan who is 0:18:35.080 --> 0:18:37.880 a phenomenal look in his own right, and they also 0:18:37.920 --> 0:18:40.399 have another name in Andres Munios who came up last year. 0:18:40.560 --> 0:18:42.920 It was like a hundred five miles per hour. They 0:18:42.920 --> 0:18:44.879 actually are projected to have one of, if not the 0:18:44.920 --> 0:18:47.520 best bullpens in the Nationals. There's well, it's on one 0:18:47.520 --> 0:18:50.800 and two for you continue and I'm with you on Osuda. 0:18:50.840 --> 0:18:53.640 I'm most likely to drop chairman oh on a roller. 0:18:53.800 --> 0:18:57.320 Chapman look, he has missed time and the strikeouts were 0:18:57.359 --> 0:18:59.199 down last year, the swinging strike rate was down, the 0:18:59.240 --> 0:19:01.840 velocity was pretty much on par. I mean, doesn't throw 0:19:01.840 --> 0:19:05.960 as hard as he used to, but but you still 0:19:06.000 --> 0:19:07.879 have to worry about the knees in the back of 0:19:07.880 --> 0:19:09.920 your mind a little bit. He has thrown a lot, 0:19:10.320 --> 0:19:12.320 uh look playing for one of the best teams in 0:19:12.359 --> 0:19:14.960 baseball and the Yankees, they have the highest projected over 0:19:15.040 --> 0:19:18.280 under for any team in baseball this upcoming season. They're 0:19:18.320 --> 0:19:20.560 going to win a lot of games, and you know, 0:19:20.600 --> 0:19:23.719 he easily could save forty plus games this upcoming season. 0:19:23.960 --> 0:19:25.840 But I'm with you, Greg, I think based on the 0:19:25.880 --> 0:19:28.440 price tag you have to pay for all this, Chapman 0:19:28.800 --> 0:19:30.679 he's I think like some of the names that are 0:19:30.720 --> 0:19:33.119 going behind him are really not that dissimilar, and you 0:19:33.160 --> 0:19:35.040 might be able to get them a few rounds later. 0:19:35.320 --> 0:19:36.919 So I don't really have a problem waiting on him. 0:19:36.920 --> 0:19:40.120 If you want to grab Chapman, I'm fine with it. 0:19:40.680 --> 0:19:43.359 But you still do have to pay a big price 0:19:43.400 --> 0:19:45.439 tag he's going off the board. I pick seventy one 0:19:45.520 --> 0:19:47.679 right now, Greg, So back into the sixth round in 0:19:47.680 --> 0:19:49.760 a twelve team league. Again, that's that's a big price 0:19:49.840 --> 0:19:52.719 to pay for for your first closer. There you go. 0:19:52.960 --> 0:19:54.679 We're all we're on the same page here when it 0:19:54.680 --> 0:19:56.600 comes to Reberto. Assume you be in our favorite of 0:19:56.760 --> 0:19:59.320 this tier. Let's move on. Let's move on. You think 0:19:59.320 --> 0:20:01.240 that tears over here right like, that's where you're stopping. 0:20:01.240 --> 0:20:03.720 You're cutting it off, making a new color. Yeah. I 0:20:03.960 --> 0:20:06.920 don't have a problem with you kind of just keeping 0:20:07.200 --> 0:20:09.600 one big tier for like your top ten. That's fine 0:20:09.880 --> 0:20:12.840 to me. I think that these four are you know, 0:20:12.880 --> 0:20:14.919 if they remain the closest for their respective teams the 0:20:15.040 --> 0:20:17.040 entirety of the season would not surprise me. If they 0:20:17.080 --> 0:20:19.600 all have sub two point five oh e r A 0:20:19.760 --> 0:20:22.760 s really good strikeout numbers, and forty plus saves. I 0:20:22.760 --> 0:20:26.560 would just put those these this group before I have 0:20:26.720 --> 0:20:29.719 less doubt about than the other group of players were 0:20:29.720 --> 0:20:31.600 about to talk about next gree al right, so let's 0:20:31.600 --> 0:20:33.600 get let's get to those next guys. It would just 0:20:33.680 --> 0:20:36.600 keep diving in Frank, because for me, I look at 0:20:36.640 --> 0:20:39.640 these guys that are in the next crew and I'll 0:20:39.680 --> 0:20:41.600 just kind of rattle them off and you could order 0:20:41.640 --> 0:20:45.320 them how you pre For Frank, you got Liam Hendrix 0:20:45.520 --> 0:20:48.600 in here. We talked about him briefly last week. You 0:20:48.720 --> 0:20:51.440 got Kenley Jansen in here. We talked about him briefly 0:20:51.480 --> 0:20:53.240 last week in the same conversation. Guys, we think that 0:20:53.320 --> 0:20:57.960 could be this year's late China. We got Greig Kimberle. 0:20:58.119 --> 0:21:02.760 I believe in this mix. We have Taylor Rogers. I 0:21:02.800 --> 0:21:06.520 believe in this mix. And finally, for me, where my 0:21:06.600 --> 0:21:10.560 top nine ends, I got Edwin Diaz here as well. 0:21:10.760 --> 0:21:13.040 Is there anybody I'm leaving out or anybody that wouldn't 0:21:13.080 --> 0:21:18.080 be in that top nine? So I have the top 0:21:18.119 --> 0:21:19.760 four as the first year, and then I have five 0:21:19.800 --> 0:21:22.239 through eleven for me that are kind of in this 0:21:22.600 --> 0:21:24.800 They could still be really really good, but again they 0:21:24.800 --> 0:21:27.080 have more Awartz than the than the first four that 0:21:27.080 --> 0:21:28.960 we already spoke about. And for me, that group is 0:21:29.000 --> 0:21:33.320 Brad Hand, Taylor Rogers, Ken Giles, Edwin Diaz, Liam Hendrix, 0:21:33.560 --> 0:21:36.480
