40
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:02,000
Speaker 2: You doing I'm good, We're doing good.

41
00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:06,800
Speaker 1: You You were the early introduction for me into playing

42
00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:09,160
Speaker 1: in the OTNO leagues. You are I think you're a

43
00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:12,320
Speaker 1: great Dynasty player, you're very active in trade talks in

44
00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:15,920
Speaker 1: that and uh, we are going into year two of ATO,

45
00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:19,919
Speaker 1: so we're not using this time to talk necessarily about that,

46
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:23,280
Speaker 1: but it's a it's a very similar structure, just maybe

47
00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:25,519
Speaker 1: a little bit more detailed with like arbitration type of

48
00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:28,280
Speaker 1: stuff out there, which has been fun. But just real quick,

49
00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:31,720
Speaker 1: how has that transformed your dynasty game? As we're going

50
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:34,160
Speaker 1: to get into some Dynasty buys here, you know that

51
00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:37,200
Speaker 1: that format. I say the format, and I people be like, well,

52
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:39,840
Speaker 1: what's the It's not like it's scoring necessarily different. It's

53
00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:42,920
Speaker 1: just a it's on fangrass platform and you know, like

54
00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:47,120
Speaker 1: I said, there's a few more bigger detailed information pieces

55
00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:49,240
Speaker 1: that go into it for Dynasty, which are pretty great.

56
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:52,760
Speaker 1: Is it kind of transformed your process in approaching Dynasty

57
00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:53,360
Speaker 1: leagues at all?

58
00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:57,239
Speaker 2: Yeah, It's definitely made me think more about player values,

59
00:02:57,520 --> 00:03:00,360
Speaker 2: as like, you don't get hooked to a guy because

60
00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:02,720
Speaker 2: a lot of the time when we're playing Dynasty, where

61
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:05,960
Speaker 2: it's like, oh I had Elie de la Cruz when

62
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:08,720
Speaker 2: he was an a ball and now I have him forever. Yeah,

63
00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:10,840
Speaker 2: me right, and you just get hooked into a guy

64
00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:11,120
Speaker 2: and you.

65
00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:12,880
Speaker 1: Keep a pretty great feeling, though I will point out

66
00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:14,320
Speaker 1: that it's a pretty great feeling when it is.

67
00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:18,160
Speaker 2: Like that, yeah, exactly. But the so odd New it

68
00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:20,320
Speaker 2: kind of it's almost like stocks, right, You almost want

69
00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:23,959
Speaker 2: to play your guys like stocks, where once people once

70
00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:26,480
Speaker 2: a player has a certain value, then maybe they're not

71
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:29,080
Speaker 2: worth it as much anymore. So, Hey, I have Ellie

72
00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:31,440
Speaker 2: de la Cruz, but oh, because of arbitration, now he's

73
00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:35,200
Speaker 2: twenty bucks, so maybe he's not the value that he

74
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:37,840
Speaker 2: would be in other dynasty leagues. So it kind of

75
00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:41,960
Speaker 2: just provides like, like a value. It makes you think

76
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:44,320
Speaker 2: more about the players even if you're not playing Got New.

77
00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:45,840
Speaker 2: But if you play odd New in some leagues and

78
00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:48,360
Speaker 2: you're in a non New league, it still puts that

79
00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:51,120
Speaker 2: idea in your head of, oh, this guy is at

80
00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:55,000
Speaker 2: a certain value right now, and maybe I can you know,

81
00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:58,280
Speaker 2: use that value to leverage another type of trade or

82
00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:02,400
Speaker 2: deal based on me thinking, hey, this guy's value is

83
00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:05,000
Speaker 2: up or down or above the market below the market

84
00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:07,880
Speaker 2: at this time. So when you play odd New, it

85
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:10,480
Speaker 2: just puts in your mind like, Okay, this guy is

86
00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:15,280
Speaker 2: averaging twelve dollars on New, but he's eighteen dollars or whatever.

87
00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:18,359
Speaker 2: It just gives kind of like a basis or a

88
00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:21,800
Speaker 2: line of like what's good versus what's bad when you're

89
00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:23,800
Speaker 2: valuing certain guys for Dynasty.

90
00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:25,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, and the best thing I'd say for everybody is

91
00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:28,120
Speaker 1: it's like an auction. You start with auction. That's how

92
00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:32,120
Speaker 1: that goes. Everything is normal, the platform, normal matchups, normal scoring,

93
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:34,960
Speaker 1: all that type of stuff. The biggest difference after the

94
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:38,880
Speaker 1: auction is that everybody has the opportunity to throw arbitration

95
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:42,800
Speaker 1: dollars on players. So I got smacked this year with

96
00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:46,760
Speaker 1: like my Harper, and then everybody was the entire season,

97
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:48,839
Speaker 1: every human being was trying to get Jackson holiday from

98
00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:51,360
Speaker 1: me and offering me forty dollars players, which I never

99
00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:54,960
Speaker 1: bit on, but then people hit me with arbitration after.

100
00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:56,960
Speaker 1: But then you get to hit them with arbitration. So

101
00:04:57,000 --> 00:04:58,640
Speaker 1: that's how it goes. So you know, your one dollar

102
00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:01,440
Speaker 1: player can become nine dollars by the end of arbitration.

103
00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:03,760
Speaker 1: And that's kind of what Tim is talking about here.

104
00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:09,560
Speaker 1: That is an interesting value perspective of Dynasty. Money or not,

105
00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:13,640
Speaker 1: that doesn't change necessarily the players that we're looking at

106
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:18,120
Speaker 1: at buying and usually the dynasty buys are players that

107
00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:21,120
Speaker 1: haven't had the big breakouts, except in some cases where

108
00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:24,000
Speaker 1: some of these players might be just undervalue. There's actually

109
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:25,640
Speaker 1: a pitcher in here you and I were talking about

110
00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:27,799
Speaker 1: off air that has been a i would say, pretty

111
00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:30,440
Speaker 1: highly dynasty valued player for some time and is at

112
00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:32,520
Speaker 1: his all time low. So we are going to be

113
00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:36,279
Speaker 1: talking about dynasty buys. These are Tim's Dynasty buys here,

114
00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:38,520
Speaker 1: and I'm excited to do that. You can check them

115
00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:40,440
Speaker 1: over on the Fantasy ace Ball Podcast and we'll talk

116
00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:42,440
Speaker 1: a little bit more about that later. We have to

117
00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:44,800
Speaker 1: set out positionally. We've got a lot to get to,

118
00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:47,640
Speaker 1: so Tim, let's jump into it, and let's talk about

119
00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:50,520
Speaker 1: our first player catcher. This is a great one. You

120
00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:54,560
Speaker 1: are buying bow Naylor in Dynasty, So talk to us

121
00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:57,360
Speaker 1: a tiny bit about why you want to buy him

122
00:05:57,400 --> 00:05:58,800
Speaker 1: as your dynasty catcher right now.

123
00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:03,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, so a little bit stealthy because everyone thinks about

124
00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:06,839
Speaker 2: Adli and even like Jen your Diaz is very popular

125
00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:11,080
Speaker 2: right now and Frankie Alvarez, uh so Naylor's kind of

126
00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:14,080
Speaker 2: taking a back seat because you have these tiers. Okay,

127
00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:16,360
Speaker 2: we had Adli and now we've got Alvarez and then

128
00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:19,479
Speaker 2: next is Sallas. But then when it's it's like, okay,

129
00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:22,640
Speaker 2: everyone's forgotten about Bo, right, So Bo is just kind

130
00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:25,800
Speaker 2: of hidden in there. And I do my f scores.

131
00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:27,560
Speaker 2: I'm not really going to get into it, but I

132
00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:30,760
Speaker 2: basically just look at every single player and kind of

133
00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:34,000
Speaker 2: like ops, plus I take certain skills and try to see, Okay,

134
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:36,960
Speaker 2: if it's above a hundred, it's good. Uh So, just

135
00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:40,200
Speaker 2: to put this into perspective, the only catcher with over

136
00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:44,560
Speaker 2: one hundred power and speed besides JT. Real Muto is

137
00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:47,600
Speaker 2: Bo Naylor. So you can get steals and you can

138
00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:50,280
Speaker 2: get power from Bo, and he's kind of like I

139
00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:52,640
Speaker 2: would almost say he's like an OBP version of JT.

140
00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:55,279
Speaker 2: Real Muto. Is he's not going to hit for the

141
00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:58,440
Speaker 2: average that JT hits for, but he's gonna get on

142
00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:01,840
Speaker 2: base a lot. So from eight fifteen, and I talked

143
00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:04,520
Speaker 2: about this a lot on the Fantasy Aaseball podcast from

144
00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:08,000
Speaker 2: August fifteenth on Bo Naylor hit two eighty six three

145
00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:11,200
Speaker 2: ninety four six oh four with seven homers in four

146
00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:15,440
Speaker 2: steals and why is August fifteenth so important? That's really

147
00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:18,000
Speaker 2: about the date when he started getting regular playing time.

148
00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:21,360
Speaker 2: He was sitting probably two three times a week before

149
00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:24,160
Speaker 2: that point in time, and then they finally decided let's

150
00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:27,000
Speaker 2: just play bo every single day, and that's when he

151
00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:29,680
Speaker 2: was really able to catch on a tear. I mean,

152
00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:32,160
Speaker 2: the thing you can talk about, is that a heater

153
00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:35,320
Speaker 2: or is it? Hey, this guy's playing regularly now, so

154
00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:37,640
Speaker 2: he's able to get into a groove and finally kind

155
00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:39,520
Speaker 2: of like do what he was doing in the minors

156
00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:40,640
Speaker 2: at the major league level.

157
00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:43,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, and as you said, I mean he stole double

158
00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:46,480
Speaker 1: digit bases in two different levels, two thousand and one

159
00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:50,400
Speaker 1: and two thousand and twenty two levels, Like in twenty

160
00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:53,560
Speaker 1: twenty two he ended up stealing twenty bases twenty twenty one,

161
00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:56,360
Speaker 1: it was ten twenty nineteen seventy five. So I mean,

162
00:07:56,440 --> 00:07:59,640
Speaker 1: he's kept that increase. Athletic guy, there's some big power

163
00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:02,360
Speaker 1: numbers in there. Hit eleven homers in sixty seven games.

164
00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:06,440
Speaker 1: Strikeouts are nothing crazy. He's not exactly his brother. He

165
00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:09,840
Speaker 1: did not light up a lot of the underlying metrics

166
00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:13,280
Speaker 1: expected stats. He overperformed unexpected stats, and it was low

167
00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:16,280
Speaker 1: hard hit. But he is an impressive athlete that's going

168
00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:18,640
Speaker 1: to be given more of an opportunity, and I think

169
00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:21,320
Speaker 1: this is sneaky, as you said, the Ramuto like finding

170
00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:24,560
Speaker 1: opportunities for play. I've always said this, when you find

171
00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:29,040
Speaker 1: players that overperformed categories that that position doesn't give you,

172
00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:31,440
Speaker 1: that is an advantage. It's less and what I'm talking

173
00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:35,439
Speaker 1: about stolen bases. Really that's less now with how widespread

174
00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:38,200
Speaker 1: stolen bases are increasing. But you find stolen bases at

175
00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:40,720
Speaker 1: third base, that's fun. You find stolen bases at the

176
00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:43,640
Speaker 1: catching position, it's very fun, especially when there's twenty home

177
00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:47,920
Speaker 1: run potential power Steamer projection hasn't put him up in

178
00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:50,240
Speaker 1: that range, except they're just not projecting the playing time.

179
00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:53,360
Speaker 1: Ninety seven games, fourteen homers. That's what you guys can

180
00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:55,920
Speaker 1: sit on with a better batting average, which I think

181
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:58,319
Speaker 1: is a key point here. Going over to first base

182
00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:03,440
Speaker 1: two great one. I'm in when I'm not in. I

183
00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:06,840
Speaker 1: wrote in the Fantasy Black Book, Joe Pisapias Fantasy Black Book,

184
00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:08,280
Speaker 1: which people are gonna be able to check out. I

185
00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:11,360
Speaker 1: covered the entire infield and there are all the reasons

186
00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:14,440
Speaker 1: in the world to love the young guy. I don't

187
00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:16,559
Speaker 1: want to say all your names every single time. I

188
00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:18,199
Speaker 1: want you to be able to say them. And then

189
00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:21,880
Speaker 1: there's the more old, krusty boring, not super old veteran,

190
00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:24,240
Speaker 1: but veteran in here. So talk to us about the

191
00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:27,160
Speaker 1: first the two first basemen that you like. You'll know

192
00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:29,040
Speaker 1: which one I'm in on, and you guys will probably

193
00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:31,080
Speaker 1: know which one I'm not in on here, So why

194
00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:32,040
Speaker 1: are these buys for you?

195
00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:35,000
Speaker 2: Yeah? So I wanted to talk about Spencer Torkolsen and

196
00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:39,240
Speaker 2: Nate low So. Tork I was just so out on

197
00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:41,160
Speaker 2: last year. At the beginning of the year, I was like,

198
00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:44,280
Speaker 2: I don't know, he's not doing it. I was very

199
00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:47,520
Speaker 2: down on him. Obviously. Tiger's Ballpark and this is the

200
00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:51,080
Speaker 2: main thing to keep in mind. His ballpark rating for

201
00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:55,240
Speaker 2: Ridy's is last in power has a seventy nine park

202
00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:59,720
Speaker 2: factor for Ridy's in Detroit, worst ballpark in baseball for Riety's.

203
00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:02,440
Speaker 2: And this is kind of what we saw from Tortos

204
00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:05,160
Speaker 2: in last year. He hit thirty one homers, twenty on

205
00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:07,839
Speaker 2: the road and eleven at home. But this is where

206
00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:10,120
Speaker 2: he really started to figure it out. In August. In

207
00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:14,880
Speaker 2: September he hit sixteen homers total, but seven of them

208
00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:17,920
Speaker 2: were at home, so seven of his eleven homers that

209
00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:20,400
Speaker 2: he hit the whole season at home or in the

210
00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:22,960
Speaker 2: last two months of the season. So that makes me

211
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:26,640
Speaker 2: think maybe he figured out something with the ballpark, like hey,

212
00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:28,760
Speaker 2: if I hit the ball a certain way, or if

213
00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:31,800
Speaker 2: I pull it to a certain area, it's more likely

214
00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:35,160
Speaker 2: to go out of the stadium. Just seeing that makes

215
00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:37,320
Speaker 2: it provides me more confidence that he's going to be

216
00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:39,800
Speaker 2: more consistent at home next year, which is just the

217
00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:42,480
Speaker 2: biggest thing with Tiger's hitters. It's like, what can you

218
00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:43,600
Speaker 2: do with Tigers hitters?

219
00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:45,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, one thing I'd add in this is something I

220
00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:48,480
Speaker 1: put in the Black Book. He had, you know, the

221
00:10:48,520 --> 00:10:50,960
Speaker 1: batting average issues, but they were lifted up by hard

222
00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:53,480
Speaker 1: hit numbers. He had a fourteen point one percent barrel rate,

223
00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:56,920
Speaker 1: which was fifth best among first basemen when you look

224
00:10:57,000 --> 00:11:01,000
Speaker 1: at that, when you look at those other four barrel percentage,

225
00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:03,200
Speaker 1: I was Olsen, Harper, Alonso, and then there's like a

226
00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:06,920
Speaker 1: weird outlier of Belt only Olsen had a higher hard

227
00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:10,920
Speaker 1: hit percentage than Torkulsen. And one thing that I kind

228
00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:14,000
Speaker 1: of dug of that same group, if you're looking at

229
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:17,760
Speaker 1: like optimism for batting average to taking those same guys, Alonzo, Harper, Olsen.

230
00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:20,680
Speaker 1: Thorklsen had the best in zone contact percentage of all

231
00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:23,320
Speaker 1: those players at eighty two point four percent, and he

232
00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:26,920
Speaker 1: had a pretty wildly higher expected batting average of two

233
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:28,719
Speaker 1: fifty one, So you get two fifty one with those

234
00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:32,199
Speaker 1: big hard hit numbers. He's creating a floor for himself,

235
00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:37,120
Speaker 1: which I really like, I just haven't loved Nate Low,

236
00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:40,160
Speaker 1: and I'm really curious about that for you, because obviously,

237
00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:43,800
Speaker 1: like he he's established himself as like, hey, I don't

238
00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:45,880
Speaker 1: chase and I'm pretty safe. I got, you know, maybe

239
00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:48,920
Speaker 1: better opp guy twelve percent walk rate, but he's like

240
00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:52,680
Speaker 1: mightily struggled against lefties. His hard hit percentage on a

241
00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:55,920
Speaker 1: three year low, its Kid continued to dip down to

242
00:11:55,960 --> 00:11:59,640
Speaker 1: forty one point six percent, and of qualified first baseman

243
00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:02,400
Speaker 1: he thirty fifth. He ranked thirty fifth of forty five

244
00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:06,000
Speaker 1: of barrel percentage, which barrel percentage can be like overplated,

245
00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:08,080
Speaker 1: but like I really pay attention to that with big

246
00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:10,760
Speaker 1: sluggers and home run hitters. So I'm just kind of

247
00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:13,800
Speaker 1: down on Low. But that's maybe more from a this

248
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:17,040
Speaker 1: year thing, which you have to be focused on in Dynasty.

249
00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:19,360
Speaker 1: It's not just necessarily about this year, but you and

250
00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:21,120
Speaker 1: I were talking off air, and I'll let you explain it.

251
00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:23,760
Speaker 1: Maybe it's not even so much about low being this

252
00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:28,640
Speaker 1: big production boost like Torkolsen is. Maybe it's just about

253
00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:32,400
Speaker 1: people letting some certain players slide that can fill out

254
00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:32,839
Speaker 1: your team.

255
00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:36,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly. Like I'm not in love with him. I

256
00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:40,480
Speaker 2: just think he's solid and he's falling a lot like

257
00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:43,560
Speaker 2: his ADP this year. I mean we're talking Dynasty before

258
00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:47,199
Speaker 2: his ADP. This year, he's nineteenth for first basement. I've

259
00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:49,360
Speaker 2: got him at thirteenth. And one of the things when

260
00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:51,800
Speaker 2: I was doing my f scores is he more or

261
00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:55,200
Speaker 2: less is like the same guy as Spencer Steer. The

262
00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:58,920
Speaker 2: difference is, you know, Steers has great American ballpark helping him,

263
00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:02,080
Speaker 2: but even with those parks, they're very close to the

264
00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:04,640
Speaker 2: same guys. Do you have some position eligibility that bumps

265
00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:07,160
Speaker 2: him up a little bit, so that helps, But I

266
00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:09,280
Speaker 2: think you can kind of expect from both guys, like

267
00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:13,480
Speaker 2: around twenty homers and eighty ish plus runs an RBI

268
00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:16,520
Speaker 2: each and he's in a good lineup, and if you

269
00:13:16,559 --> 00:13:19,480
Speaker 2: can get him at a very good discount, he's still

270
00:13:19,480 --> 00:13:22,480
Speaker 2: only twenty eight like he had twenty three or twenty

271
00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:24,559
Speaker 2: four homers a couple of years ago. So we can

272
00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:26,880
Speaker 2: see that home run rate bounce back up a little

273
00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:29,160
Speaker 2: bit from last year. And I just think it's you know,

274
00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:32,080
Speaker 2: I don't love him. I just think that he's cheap

275
00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:33,920
Speaker 2: right now for what he brings to the table.

276
00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:35,560
Speaker 1: Could you give us the I know you said you

277
00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:36,880
Speaker 1: want to get into it. Could you give this a

278
00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:39,760
Speaker 1: ten cent tour of F scores? So if you're referring

279
00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:42,000
Speaker 1: to it, I think i'd be helpful for people, like,

280
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:44,240
Speaker 1: like I said, ten cent tour of what people should

281
00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:45,880
Speaker 1: wrap their head around. F scores are.

282
00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:49,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, So basically the F scores I take for hitters

283
00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:53,600
Speaker 2: and pitchers, different categories. For hitters, I've got contact, discipline, power, speed,

284
00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:56,719
Speaker 2: and durability. And I take each of those five categories.

285
00:13:57,040 --> 00:13:59,080
Speaker 2: And what I do is I have certain stats that

286
00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:02,680
Speaker 2: play into it, like barrel rate, whatever. I have stats

287
00:14:02,679 --> 00:14:04,640
Speaker 2: that I picked that I think are very good, and

288
00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:09,400
Speaker 2: I use those to determine each skill. And so each skill,

289
00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:13,440
Speaker 2: if you're one hundred, just like OPS plus or WRC plus,

290
00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:17,040
Speaker 2: if you're one hundred, your league average, right, And so

291
00:14:17,280 --> 00:14:20,080
Speaker 2: basically that's what that gives. And I go through every

292
00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:22,520
Speaker 2: single player in the offseason, and it takes me, like

293
00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:25,040
Speaker 2: I probably spent three or four hundred hours like manually

294
00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:27,600
Speaker 2: entering data, which is not the funnest thing in the

295
00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:31,480
Speaker 2: world to do. But I've got Nate Low one spot

296
00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:34,000
Speaker 2: ahead of Spencer Steer in my first base rankings, and

297
00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:36,440
Speaker 2: they're more or less the same guy. Steer has a

298
00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:39,200
Speaker 2: little bit better speed, Low has a little bit better

299
00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:43,320
Speaker 2: plate discipline and a slightly higher contact tool as for

300
00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:46,240
Speaker 2: my f scores, but they're pretty much in the same range,

301
00:14:46,280 --> 00:14:49,120
Speaker 2: like they're both right about right next to each other,

302
00:14:49,160 --> 00:14:52,800
Speaker 2: and that's including Steer's ballpark lift. So Steer, obviously the

303
00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:56,320
Speaker 2: position eligibility might add some value to him over Low,

304
00:14:56,680 --> 00:15:00,240
Speaker 2: But when you're drafting and you're looking at like six

305
00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:04,120
Speaker 2: seven spots of ranking difference, I think Low is pretty

306
00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:08,000
Speaker 2: solid down the road versus guys like can he do it?

307
00:15:08,080 --> 00:15:11,920
Speaker 2: Yandi Diaz does, and Yandi Diaz is going higher? Can

308
00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:14,320
Speaker 2: you do it? Vinn p is gonna do he probably,

309
00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:16,440
Speaker 2: and he's gonna go quite a bit higher. So there

310
00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:19,080
Speaker 2: are guys going higher than Low, and I think you

311
00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:20,760
Speaker 2: can just get good value on him.

312
00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:24,640
Speaker 1: So it's like a Fantasy WRC plus type of thing. Yeah, basically,

313
00:15:24,880 --> 00:15:26,960
Speaker 1: but is it tied to positions or is it just

314
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:28,720
Speaker 1: tied to overall, because then that would be more of

315
00:15:28,760 --> 00:15:29,560
Speaker 1: a fantasy war.

316
00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:34,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's tied to overall. So basically, I take the average,

317
00:15:34,760 --> 00:15:36,760
Speaker 2: like I'm doing when I'm taking my stats, I'll take

318
00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:38,880
Speaker 2: the average. Okay, what is the average batting average from

319
00:15:38,960 --> 00:15:42,240
Speaker 2: last year? And then or what is the average contact rate?

320
00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:46,080
Speaker 2: Like I don't use batting average as a as a indicator,

321
00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:48,800
Speaker 2: but like barrel rate, what's the average barrel rate? So then, oh,

322
00:15:48,920 --> 00:15:53,120
Speaker 2: this guy's barrel rate was seventeen percent higher than average,

323
00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:56,240
Speaker 2: So that's going to help their power rating and my power.

324
00:15:55,920 --> 00:15:59,400
Speaker 1: Go on more or less. That's great. Yeah, no, it's great.

325
00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:02,200
Speaker 1: I just of people that kind of have a understanding

326
00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:03,720
Speaker 1: of that. As we are moving forward, let's go over

327
00:16:03,760 --> 00:16:06,960
Speaker 1: to second base. Here to great names, to young names.

328
00:16:07,360 --> 00:16:10,640
Speaker 1: Matt McClain, who ended up missing some time, but was

329
00:16:10,760 --> 00:16:13,000
Speaker 1: you know, there was a little small moment where someone

330
00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:15,520
Speaker 1: could be like, hey, Matt McLean is chasing Corbyn Carroll

331
00:16:15,640 --> 00:16:19,120
Speaker 1: was never happening, but it was getting there. And Edward Julian.

332
00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:21,280
Speaker 1: So I didn't let you name these two. I'll the

333
00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:23,400
Speaker 1: other ones, but I got too excited about these guys.

334
00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:26,120
Speaker 1: These were your two buys. I'm a little bit indifferent.

335
00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:31,040
Speaker 1: Matt McClean pretty wildly overplayed a lot of his expected stats.

336
00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:34,400
Speaker 1: I think there's a lot of regression built into his

337
00:16:34,480 --> 00:16:36,600
Speaker 1: profile from year one, but that doesn't mean you're not

338
00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:40,960
Speaker 1: going to overplay your your potential regression. I really love

339
00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:42,720
Speaker 1: Edward Julian because I think he might be a little

340
00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:45,400
Speaker 1: bit on the opposite opposite end with really good barrel

341
00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:47,600
Speaker 1: rates and stuff like that. So talk to us about

342
00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:49,560
Speaker 1: the byes for both of these players.

343
00:16:49,880 --> 00:16:52,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, so that's the big thing on McClean, right, everyone's

344
00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:56,040
Speaker 2: concerned he had a three eighty five babbit. I'm honestly

345
00:16:56,160 --> 00:16:59,040
Speaker 2: not that concerned about that. He is going to regress,

346
00:16:59,080 --> 00:17:00,840
Speaker 2: but I don't think he's going to regrets that much.

347
00:17:01,040 --> 00:17:03,840
Speaker 2: Eat high babbobs through his hole like a triple A.

348
00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:06,320
Speaker 2: He had a three eighty five babbit there too, so

349
00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:09,360
Speaker 2: he's always run high babbobs. And one of the things

350
00:17:09,480 --> 00:17:12,000
Speaker 2: that is going to make him run high babbbs is

351
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:15,240
Speaker 2: that he had a ninety fourth percentile sweet spot percentage

352
00:17:15,600 --> 00:17:19,720
Speaker 2: and then ninetieth percentile speed sprint speed. So when you

353
00:17:19,800 --> 00:17:22,720
Speaker 2: run fast and you hit the ball in the right spot,

354
00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:24,800
Speaker 2: You're gonna get a lot of line drives. So you've

355
00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:28,720
Speaker 2: got a guy here who hits line drives. The sweet

356
00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:33,879
Speaker 2: spot percentage is really important for like quality contact, not

357
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:35,680
Speaker 2: just contact. Are they putting the bat on the ball,

358
00:17:35,840 --> 00:17:38,000
Speaker 2: but that's how you get quality contact. Are you hitting

359
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:40,840
Speaker 2: the ball in the right spot? Are those sweet spot

360
00:17:40,880 --> 00:17:43,919
Speaker 2: balls are gonna go to holes in the field? Right,

361
00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:45,600
Speaker 2: You're gonna hit the ball hard enough that it hits

362
00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:47,720
Speaker 2: a hole in the field instead of being caught or

363
00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:49,960
Speaker 2: whatever when you make contact on them. So McClain is

364
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:52,400
Speaker 2: gonna run a high Babbitt because of those things. And

365
00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:54,600
Speaker 2: you could see even what happened with the Reds when

366
00:17:54,640 --> 00:17:57,400
Speaker 2: mcclan was hurt, like he is the catalyst of that lineup,

367
00:17:57,720 --> 00:18:00,520
Speaker 2: like everybody else in that lineup started flowing when he

368
00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:03,199
Speaker 2: was out, and him hitting at the top of that

369
00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:06,920
Speaker 2: lineup with these all these young guys coming around, your

370
00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:08,719
Speaker 2: Ellie de la Cruz is going to get better. All

371
00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:10,199
Speaker 2: these guys are gonna get better, and they're all going

372
00:18:10,280 --> 00:18:12,040
Speaker 2: to grow with McLain. With McLain at the top of

373
00:18:12,080 --> 00:18:14,399
Speaker 2: the lineup in the best ballpark in baseball to hit

374
00:18:14,440 --> 00:18:19,040
Speaker 2: in great American smallpark. Uh So McClain, I think he's

375
00:18:19,600 --> 00:18:22,520
Speaker 2: even at five ADP as a second baseman. I think

376
00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:24,760
Speaker 2: he's still buy I'm still gonna go get him. I'm

377
00:18:24,760 --> 00:18:27,320
Speaker 2: not expecting major regression in the batting.

378
00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:28,919
Speaker 1: App talk to us about Julian because this is one

379
00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:30,879
Speaker 1: of my This is one of my favorites, because I

380
00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:34,760
Speaker 1: think what is going to scare people obviously, is is

381
00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:37,399
Speaker 1: the batting average. I think the strikeout really are the

382
00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:39,560
Speaker 1: strikeouts I shouldn't say even the batting are like the

383
00:18:39,560 --> 00:18:41,240
Speaker 1: strikeouts are going to be something that's just going to

384
00:18:41,320 --> 00:18:43,479
Speaker 1: keep people off. He hit two sixty three. He had

385
00:18:43,480 --> 00:18:46,600
Speaker 1: a pretty regressive like XBA, which I think was two

386
00:18:46,680 --> 00:18:50,800
Speaker 1: thirty six. But Bobo's top ten percent dial, his barrel

387
00:18:50,800 --> 00:18:53,800
Speaker 1: percentage and hard hit were great. Actually, the thirteen point

388
00:18:53,840 --> 00:18:56,120
Speaker 1: one percent barrel rate and forty four point nine percent

389
00:18:56,119 --> 00:18:58,160
Speaker 1: hard hit rate ranked him inside the top five at

390
00:18:58,160 --> 00:19:01,679
Speaker 1: the position if he qualified. He just needed to, you know,

391
00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:05,320
Speaker 1: get there. So the underlying stuff is there with because

392
00:19:05,359 --> 00:19:07,840
Speaker 1: he's an interesting guy because I you know, got to

393
00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:09,479
Speaker 1: see so much of him in the arison a Falliague

394
00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:13,520
Speaker 1: two years ago, where it's a high strikeout rate, but

395
00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:17,280
Speaker 1: he is not a chase necessarily guy, like he keeps

396
00:19:17,320 --> 00:19:19,880
Speaker 1: his bat. It's very similar to what Cavin Bigio did

397
00:19:19,920 --> 00:19:22,960
Speaker 1: from years ago. Like he gets very selective. He doesn't

398
00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:27,000
Speaker 1: swing early, he drives counts, and then he gets really aggressive.

399
00:19:27,040 --> 00:19:29,680
Speaker 1: I think he needs to change that. But like I'm

400
00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:31,840
Speaker 1: down for something like that. I'm down for a guy

401
00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:34,600
Speaker 1: like that, who this isn't a pitch recognition issue. This

402
00:19:34,760 --> 00:19:38,240
Speaker 1: is a selectiveness issue, and he's got all the underlying metrics.

403
00:19:38,240 --> 00:19:41,880
Speaker 1: So like, I really love buying Edward Julian, assuming he's

404
00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:44,520
Speaker 1: coming in at a pretty cheap cost, So you know, give

405
00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:46,080
Speaker 1: us your ten cent tour on Julian.

406
00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:48,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, so he was actually a huge shot to me.

407
00:19:48,840 --> 00:19:50,679
Speaker 2: So when I take all these guys and I'm doing

408
00:19:50,720 --> 00:19:52,920
Speaker 2: my F scores, I kind of like make a plan

409
00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:55,480
Speaker 2: where I'm like, okay, I like when I was writing

410
00:19:55,480 --> 00:19:58,639
Speaker 2: everyone's name down for second base, I had Julian around

411
00:19:58,680 --> 00:20:02,320
Speaker 2: like fifteen to twenty for second basement, right, which is

412
00:20:02,320 --> 00:20:05,280
Speaker 2: probably where most people have him in ADP. But my

413
00:20:05,560 --> 00:20:09,359
Speaker 2: F scores put him as the sixth best second basement,

414
00:20:09,440 --> 00:20:11,919
Speaker 2: which is insane. Like I don't know if I'm going

415
00:20:11,960 --> 00:20:14,720
Speaker 2: to draft him six out of second basement. But that's

416
00:20:14,720 --> 00:20:16,679
Speaker 2: where my f scores have him, and a lot of

417
00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:19,480
Speaker 2: that has to do with his plate skills. Like you mentioned,

418
00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:22,600
Speaker 2: he has a ridiculously high k rate for the chase rate.

419
00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:24,320
Speaker 2: Like I don't know if I've ever seen a player

420
00:20:24,359 --> 00:20:27,199
Speaker 2: with a thirty one percent strikeout rate and only a

421
00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:31,480
Speaker 2: seventeen percent chase rate. That's exactly right, Yeah, two and two.

422
00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:34,200
Speaker 2: It's like a one plus two equals four. Here. It's

423
00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:34,960
Speaker 2: like something is off.

424
00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:38,119
Speaker 1: Yeah, and people like listen, you can understand, like sometimes

425
00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:41,439
Speaker 1: guys can have low k rates with high chase rates,

426
00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:44,640
Speaker 1: but having a really high strikeout rate with a low

427
00:20:44,760 --> 00:20:48,119
Speaker 1: chase rate, that's more of the oddity. And it's what

428
00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:50,680
Speaker 1: I told you. Some players have had this, Like I said,

429
00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:53,119
Speaker 1: Calvin Bigio was an example of this. I want to

430
00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:57,640
Speaker 1: say maybe Carlos Santana at some time. Maybe I'm misremembered,

431
00:20:57,680 --> 00:20:59,280
Speaker 1: but you'll see these guys that will have these like

432
00:20:59,359 --> 00:21:02,240
Speaker 1: higher walk rate and it's just they get really selective.

433
00:21:02,560 --> 00:21:06,800
Speaker 1: They don't drive balls early, they won't get into early counts,

434
00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:09,520
Speaker 1: and then they drive themselves into two strike counts because

435
00:21:09,520 --> 00:21:12,480
Speaker 1: they're very selective to their pitch. And that's something you

436
00:21:12,520 --> 00:21:14,680
Speaker 1: can work on. Over time. Those are guys that I buy.

437
00:21:14,680 --> 00:21:17,480
Speaker 1: But it is such a weird oddity to his strikeouts

438
00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:21,199
Speaker 1: that I think is kind of built into projections. I

439
00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:23,879
Speaker 1: didn't look into this, and projections are going to be

440
00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:27,040
Speaker 1: actually be very interesting once we get like the bat

441
00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:31,640
Speaker 1: projections from Derek Cardy and even like atc in there,

442
00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:34,920
Speaker 1: but they're still projecting like a twenty nine point three percent.

443
00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:37,399
Speaker 1: I mean, the dude walked fifteen point seven percent of

444
00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:40,120
Speaker 1: the time while striking out thirty one point four Those

445
00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:43,280
Speaker 1: are that's an oddity. I actually think the strikeouts could

446
00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:47,240
Speaker 1: come down dramatically if that is his off season focus,

447
00:21:47,880 --> 00:21:50,480
Speaker 1: and I'm really hoping it is, because if it becomes

448
00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:53,600
Speaker 1: a twenty four percent strikeout guy with a fifteen percent

449
00:21:53,680 --> 00:21:57,560
Speaker 1: walk rate, this is where and why he's gonna pop up,

450
00:21:57,680 --> 00:21:59,840
Speaker 1: especially like I said, with the barrel and the hard hit.

451
00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:01,560
Speaker 1: This is why he's going to pop up on a

452
00:22:01,560 --> 00:22:04,640
Speaker 1: system like yours as a major buy. So I would want,

453
00:22:04,720 --> 00:22:07,040
Speaker 1: like you're saying, I want to buy him before this happens.

454
00:22:07,280 --> 00:22:08,240
Speaker 1: That's what I want to do.

455
00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:11,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's a killer in points leagues because of the walks,

456
00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:14,120
Speaker 2: and I think he's going to get those strikeouts down.

457
00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:16,320
Speaker 2: I mean that Chase rate just shows that over time,

458
00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:19,520
Speaker 2: that's something that is going to just go down. And

459
00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:21,960
Speaker 2: Umps on top of it is another thing. Right, you

460
00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:24,240
Speaker 2: have a young guy, a rookie come in, umps are

461
00:22:24,280 --> 00:22:26,480
Speaker 2: going to call strikes on him that might not be strikes.

462
00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:28,879
Speaker 2: And then the more that he's in the league, the

463
00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:30,879
Speaker 2: longer he's in the league, and the better of a

464
00:22:31,240 --> 00:22:33,240
Speaker 2: kind of a name brand he gets with the Umps,

465
00:22:33,440 --> 00:22:36,080
Speaker 2: they're gonna give him those calls instead of the calls

466
00:22:36,119 --> 00:22:37,840
Speaker 2: going the other way against him. So that's something that

467
00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:40,639
Speaker 2: you see with like young guys versus like older guys

468
00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:42,280
Speaker 2: coming in the league. I feel like every year there's

469
00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:44,960
Speaker 2: a couple guys, like a couple of rookies that come

470
00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:47,440
Speaker 2: in and they just get rocked by ups. Like you'll

471
00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:49,800
Speaker 2: see really bad strike calls against them all year and

472
00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:51,760
Speaker 2: you're just like, the Umps just hate this guy. But

473
00:22:51,840 --> 00:22:53,639
Speaker 2: it's like, no, it's a rookie. He just needs to

474
00:22:53,640 --> 00:22:56,439
Speaker 2: build this rapport with them. They need to learn like, no,

475
00:22:56,560 --> 00:22:58,840
Speaker 2: actually he sees the strike zone maybe better than the

476
00:22:58,920 --> 00:23:02,160
Speaker 2: UMP does. That's what's going on here. The main thing

477
00:23:02,240 --> 00:23:04,240
Speaker 2: with Julian that a lot of people are concerned about

478
00:23:04,280 --> 00:23:07,359
Speaker 2: is the lefty splits. But he played fifty games in

479
00:23:07,400 --> 00:23:10,480
Speaker 2: August in September between the two months, so I think

480
00:23:10,520 --> 00:23:12,920
Speaker 2: that we're kind of seeing the Twins try to work

481
00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:15,119
Speaker 2: him in against the lefties. That that's what we were

482
00:23:15,119 --> 00:23:17,040
Speaker 2: seeing at the end of the year. So as far

483
00:23:17,080 --> 00:23:19,200
Speaker 2: as like people saying, oh, he's a platoon guy, blah

484
00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:22,480
Speaker 2: blah blah, I'm not really so concerned about that. And

485
00:23:22,520 --> 00:23:25,840
Speaker 2: if he's playing more games, he's going to walk into

486
00:23:25,880 --> 00:23:28,960
Speaker 2: more power. Like he only had three hundred and thirty

487
00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:31,960
Speaker 2: eight at bats last year with sixteen homers. And he

488
00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:34,200
Speaker 2: had a really bad month too. I can't can't remember

489
00:23:34,280 --> 00:23:35,800
Speaker 2: off the top of my head. It was Junior July.

490
00:23:36,240 --> 00:23:38,480
Speaker 2: He had a month where he his fly ball rate

491
00:23:38,560 --> 00:23:42,159
Speaker 2: was like less than twenty percent. It's just atrocious. If

492
00:23:42,200 --> 00:23:44,120
Speaker 2: you're hitting the ball in the ground sixty percent, you're

493
00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:46,280
Speaker 2: not going to hit for power. And he still walked

494
00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:47,480
Speaker 2: away with sixteen homers.

495
00:23:47,520 --> 00:23:52,280
Speaker 1: Over it was August twelve percent flyball rate in August

496
00:23:52,359 --> 00:23:55,640
Speaker 1: he had where he had never had an under twenty

497
00:23:55,760 --> 00:23:59,680
Speaker 1: two percent and average twenty seven percent in the first

498
00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:02,200
Speaker 1: half versus essentially twenty two percent in the second half.

499
00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:03,560
Speaker 1: So that was an outlier. Also, you know what I

500
00:24:03,560 --> 00:24:05,680
Speaker 1: would add to that too. Let's see what the twins do.

501
00:24:05,800 --> 00:24:08,240
Speaker 1: There's all these rumors abou Jorge Polanco potentially being a

502
00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:11,200
Speaker 1: trade option. If Polanco goes to me, that tells even

503
00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:13,160
Speaker 1: a tiny bit more of a story that this team

504
00:24:13,200 --> 00:24:16,440
Speaker 1: is comfortable with Julian every day and not needing any

505
00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:19,159
Speaker 1: type of split thing going on. Let's jump over to

506
00:24:19,720 --> 00:24:22,520
Speaker 1: we're gonna pair these two together because there's a similarity here.

507
00:24:22,800 --> 00:24:26,280
Speaker 1: You're third and short, so we're taking the left side

508
00:24:26,320 --> 00:24:30,640
Speaker 1: of the infield because you picked two guys that are

509
00:24:30,760 --> 00:24:35,480
Speaker 1: still prospect eligible, that both made their debuts this past year.

510
00:24:35,520 --> 00:24:37,960
Speaker 1: And these are your buys, tim They're not going to

511
00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:40,920
Speaker 1: come cheap, but you want these players in dynasty. So

512
00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:43,160
Speaker 1: these are your dynasty buys at short and third.

513
00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:47,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, so I short, I have Jordan Lawler here. I

514
00:24:47,040 --> 00:24:51,280
Speaker 2: think now is the best time. This is your last chance. Really,

515
00:24:51,320 --> 00:24:53,480
Speaker 2: it's like it's like last call, last call Forde Jordan

516
00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:56,280
Speaker 2: Lawler right now because right now he's not projected to

517
00:24:56,320 --> 00:24:59,639
Speaker 2: break the you know, break camp with the team thanks

518
00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:03,040
Speaker 2: to a Hennyo Suarez joining the team. So like that

519
00:25:03,240 --> 00:25:06,840
Speaker 2: really just like is giving anyone who really wants Lawler.

520
00:25:07,119 --> 00:25:10,119
Speaker 2: This Suarez acquisition a chance to go get him because

521
00:25:10,400 --> 00:25:13,399
Speaker 2: trust me and you know as a DBAGS fan, Although

522
00:25:13,400 --> 00:25:16,320
Speaker 2: Perdomo is not going to stop Jordan Lawler from coming

523
00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:18,520
Speaker 2: up and starting a shortstop like, he is not going

524
00:25:18,600 --> 00:25:21,080
Speaker 2: to be the reason if they really want Lawler. If

525
00:25:21,119 --> 00:25:23,840
Speaker 2: you know, if Lawler has a killer spring, there's a

526
00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:27,359
Speaker 2: chance in my mind that Perdomo can easily move to

527
00:25:27,440 --> 00:25:31,280
Speaker 2: second and you move Marte back to the outfield or whatever,

528
00:25:31,320 --> 00:25:33,200
Speaker 2: you've got a DH spot open. There's all kinds of

529
00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:33,960
Speaker 2: things you get.

530
00:25:34,760 --> 00:25:37,080
Speaker 1: Want them to do. I want them to do that

531
00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:39,680
Speaker 1: what you're saying, I do think this is nick I

532
00:25:39,760 --> 00:25:42,359
Speaker 1: met all over again, because Perdomo is a plus defender

533
00:25:42,760 --> 00:25:45,959
Speaker 1: and he overperformed through the root. You don't even want

534
00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:48,600
Speaker 1: to look at his underlying stats. Perdoma did. There's also

535
00:25:48,600 --> 00:25:51,479
Speaker 1: an all star. So like to what you're saying, I

536
00:25:51,600 --> 00:25:55,439
Speaker 1: do think Perdomo actually could hold Lawler back, but more

537
00:25:55,960 --> 00:25:59,640
Speaker 1: in a platoony type of role where instead of playing

538
00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:02,199
Speaker 1: let's say six of seven days, he's playing four to

539
00:26:02,240 --> 00:26:04,879
Speaker 1: five a couple days at shortstop for'd almost moving over

540
00:26:04,960 --> 00:26:07,959
Speaker 1: to second. Johannio is dhing one day. It's also going

541
00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:09,960
Speaker 1: to be very important to pay attention. If the Diamonbacks

542
00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:12,159
Speaker 1: were to sign a JD. Martinez, that will take the

543
00:26:12,240 --> 00:26:15,439
Speaker 1: DH spot away from a guy like Johanniol Suarez. If

544
00:26:15,480 --> 00:26:18,040
Speaker 1: they were to sign a Solaire, Solayer can move into

545
00:26:18,080 --> 00:26:20,280
Speaker 1: the outfield, they can really like, they can move some

546
00:26:20,280 --> 00:26:24,040
Speaker 1: stuff around. So to your point, though, I one thousand

547
00:26:24,080 --> 00:26:27,000
Speaker 1: percent agree, this is the last opportunity to buy Lawlor

548
00:26:27,080 --> 00:26:30,520
Speaker 1: if this is gonna work, and the cost is pretty cheap.

549
00:26:30,600 --> 00:26:33,399
Speaker 1: So this is the difference between your drafts or buying

550
00:26:33,440 --> 00:26:36,199
Speaker 1: in your leagues. This is somebody we both agree like.

551
00:26:36,280 --> 00:26:39,000
Speaker 1: This is twenty twenty potential, and he will get at

552
00:26:39,080 --> 00:26:41,560
Speaker 1: bats this year. I do believe that he will get

553
00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:44,480
Speaker 1: four hundred plus at bats. What the Diamondbacks do in

554
00:26:44,520 --> 00:26:47,200
Speaker 1: the next forty five days is probably going to be

555
00:26:47,320 --> 00:26:50,480
Speaker 1: very imperative to what it looks like that we can

556
00:26:50,560 --> 00:26:53,320
Speaker 1: guess before spring to There's a million things can happen

557
00:26:53,320 --> 00:26:56,520
Speaker 1: when spring training goes on and when the season starts,

558
00:26:56,800 --> 00:27:00,280
Speaker 1: but but we can start projecting the next thirty days

559
00:27:00,280 --> 00:27:01,920
Speaker 1: to forty five days are probably really important.

560
00:27:02,200 --> 00:27:05,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly. And then Cameron Aro for a third base,

561
00:27:06,400 --> 00:27:09,160
Speaker 2: I think there's a really good shot he's gonna break camp.

562
00:27:09,160 --> 00:27:11,040
Speaker 2: I mean, they already brought him up. And once you

563
00:27:11,560 --> 00:27:13,240
Speaker 2: once you bring someone up and they're already on the

564
00:27:13,280 --> 00:27:16,320
Speaker 2: forty man, they've already you know, they've already played. There's

565
00:27:16,320 --> 00:27:19,159
Speaker 2: no benefit really to putting him down. I feel like

566
00:27:19,440 --> 00:27:21,200
Speaker 2: when you bring a guy up and then send it

567
00:27:21,320 --> 00:27:24,200
Speaker 2: back down, it almost does more harm than good. We've

568
00:27:24,200 --> 00:27:27,320
Speaker 2: seen in the past of some of these prospects. At

569
00:27:27,320 --> 00:27:29,840
Speaker 2: this point, I think they just you know, they're gonna

570
00:27:29,840 --> 00:27:32,960
Speaker 2: bring him up. And third base is just a dynasty group.

571
00:27:33,400 --> 00:27:36,359
Speaker 2: Is a lot of old guys, right, like Jay ram

572
00:27:36,480 --> 00:27:39,239
Speaker 2: Manny Ernato, Like a lot of these third basemen are

573
00:27:39,320 --> 00:27:41,520
Speaker 2: kind of on the older end. You've got Endeavors and

574
00:27:41,600 --> 00:27:43,280
Speaker 2: Riley in their prime, I guess, but a lot of

575
00:27:43,320 --> 00:27:46,600
Speaker 2: the other guys are older, and I feel like you

576
00:27:46,680 --> 00:27:49,320
Speaker 2: should kind of keep that in mind if you're doing

577
00:27:49,359 --> 00:27:51,960
Speaker 2: like a brand new dynasty league or something like that,

578
00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:55,000
Speaker 2: I would think about drafting Cameron Arrow higher than someone

579
00:27:55,040 --> 00:27:57,800
Speaker 2: even like than like Jackson Holiday. And it also depends

580
00:27:57,800 --> 00:28:00,560
Speaker 2: on the league type, because if you're in you know,

581
00:28:00,680 --> 00:28:03,119
Speaker 2: if you're in a regular batting average roto league, maybe

582
00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:07,000
Speaker 2: Holiday you want to go for the batting average but

583
00:28:07,920 --> 00:28:09,760
Speaker 2: I think that in a lot of leagues, Like if

584
00:28:09,800 --> 00:28:13,040
Speaker 2: you're in OPS or OBP or points leagues, you might

585
00:28:13,080 --> 00:28:14,720
Speaker 2: want to go Camonaro over Holiday.

586
00:28:15,200 --> 00:28:17,320
Speaker 1: Yeah. I see that for the big power numbers. But

587
00:28:17,359 --> 00:28:19,440
Speaker 1: what do you say to a team that's like competing,

588
00:28:19,680 --> 00:28:22,440
Speaker 1: Like if it were a fresh draft and you want

589
00:28:22,440 --> 00:28:25,600
Speaker 1: to win now, are you gonna take camin I mean,

590
00:28:25,600 --> 00:28:28,680
Speaker 1: because Camonaro is tough here, because Cameronarow could be top

591
00:28:28,920 --> 00:28:32,440
Speaker 1: twenty in a lot of people's minds for Dynasty could

592
00:28:32,480 --> 00:28:34,159
Speaker 1: be somewhere in the forties. So I mean, are you

593
00:28:34,240 --> 00:28:37,359
Speaker 1: gonna take You're not gonna take caman Aro over Riley,

594
00:28:37,480 --> 00:28:39,680
Speaker 1: I would hope, or or I mean Devers. Is an

595
00:28:39,720 --> 00:28:42,240
Speaker 1: interesting question, like how do you approach win now with

596
00:28:42,360 --> 00:28:44,800
Speaker 1: a guy like Camanara and with Lawler? Kind of like

597
00:28:44,920 --> 00:28:48,160
Speaker 1: what's the limit? Are you saying I want Camanaro over Machado,

598
00:28:48,280 --> 00:28:51,080
Speaker 1: which I think some Dynasty people will be like, yeah,

599
00:28:51,400 --> 00:28:54,640
Speaker 1: But so like, what's what's the range of how you

600
00:28:54,680 --> 00:28:55,560
Speaker 1: deal with a guy like that.

601
00:28:56,160 --> 00:28:59,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm taking I'm taking him over Machado, I'm taking

602
00:28:59,640 --> 00:29:05,239
Speaker 2: over Lewis Devers. Is that might be the line? Like

603
00:29:05,320 --> 00:29:08,719
Speaker 2: the Devers Austin Riley line that I think that's the

604
00:29:08,760 --> 00:29:09,480
Speaker 2: line right there.

605
00:29:09,720 --> 00:29:10,880
Speaker 1: So what do you have him at like three or

606
00:29:10,880 --> 00:29:12,960
Speaker 1: four in your third base Dynasty ranks?

607
00:29:13,200 --> 00:29:15,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, I've got it. I've got yeah, I've got him

608
00:29:15,400 --> 00:29:18,280
Speaker 2: around like five in a tier. So he's he's you know,

609
00:29:18,320 --> 00:29:21,720
Speaker 2: behind Bobby Witt and Ellie and Gunner and Jose. So

610
00:29:21,800 --> 00:29:22,239
Speaker 2: I've got him.

611
00:29:22,320 --> 00:29:23,560
Speaker 1: Okay, ye, there was right.

612
00:29:23,760 --> 00:29:25,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, I've got him grouped there with like Austin Riley

613
00:29:25,880 --> 00:29:26,840
Speaker 2: and Devers.

614
00:29:27,160 --> 00:29:29,280
Speaker 1: Okay, that makes sense. But I mean those are guys

615
00:29:29,280 --> 00:29:31,120
Speaker 1: that you want to buy, and what is interesting about

616
00:29:31,160 --> 00:29:33,480
Speaker 1: you bringing those guys up. We've had a lot of

617
00:29:33,480 --> 00:29:36,800
Speaker 1: focus on like when now versus like one foot in,

618
00:29:36,880 --> 00:29:40,640
Speaker 1: one out and playing for the future. I think specifically

619
00:29:40,720 --> 00:29:43,680
Speaker 1: cam and Aro plays an all Lawler might be a

620
00:29:43,720 --> 00:29:45,720
Speaker 1: little bit like, hey, I want one foot in, one

621
00:29:45,720 --> 00:29:48,800
Speaker 1: foot out. His cost is at his lowest, Camon Arrows

622
00:29:48,880 --> 00:29:51,560
Speaker 1: is not Cavion Arrow's value if if you could argue

623
00:29:51,560 --> 00:29:53,719
Speaker 1: is that it's highest that it's ever been because he's

624
00:29:53,880 --> 00:29:55,800
Speaker 1: he you know, playing time seems to be there. He

625
00:29:55,840 --> 00:29:58,480
Speaker 1: also just came off of an incredibly great Dominican Winner

626
00:29:58,520 --> 00:30:01,720
Speaker 1: League where he was second in as of like you know,

627
00:30:02,120 --> 00:30:04,840
Speaker 1: two weeks ago. So Cam and Arow's cost is at

628
00:30:04,840 --> 00:30:06,840
Speaker 1: an all time high. So whether it's draft or whatever,

629
00:30:06,880 --> 00:30:08,959
Speaker 1: you know how to approach him. But he works for

630
00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:11,080
Speaker 1: that kind of winnish Now team Lawler is a little

631
00:30:11,080 --> 00:30:11,560
Speaker 1: bit tougher.

632
00:30:11,760 --> 00:30:13,520
Speaker 2: He's gonna be one of the guys that hits the

633
00:30:13,560 --> 00:30:16,560
Speaker 2: ground running too. Like I do a lot this offseason,

634
00:30:16,600 --> 00:30:19,240
Speaker 2: I did a ton of research on this transition from

635
00:30:19,640 --> 00:30:22,520
Speaker 2: minor leagues to major leagues, like what do the stats

636
00:30:22,520 --> 00:30:26,160
Speaker 2: actually look like when you're jumping levels? And I had

637
00:30:26,200 --> 00:30:28,160
Speaker 2: some podcasts on it. I did a lot of research

638
00:30:28,200 --> 00:30:31,080
Speaker 2: on it. And Cam and Arrow is just a lot

639
00:30:31,080 --> 00:30:33,400
Speaker 2: of the rookies, there's gonna be a big drop right

640
00:30:33,440 --> 00:30:35,240
Speaker 2: when they come up right, like even from tripa A,

641
00:30:35,360 --> 00:30:37,200
Speaker 2: there's just a big drop. Like Camon Arrow is just

642
00:30:37,200 --> 00:30:39,560
Speaker 2: one of the guys that reads out because of his

643
00:30:39,920 --> 00:30:41,600
Speaker 2: hit tool, because of how hard he hits the ball,

644
00:30:41,920 --> 00:30:44,440
Speaker 2: Like he's just gonna come up and kill it from

645
00:30:44,560 --> 00:30:45,160
Speaker 2: day one.

646
00:30:45,280 --> 00:30:47,640
Speaker 1: And hopefully they give him the opportunity. Moving over to

647
00:30:47,680 --> 00:30:51,080
Speaker 1: the outfield, we have picked maybe the hottest name in

648
00:30:51,160 --> 00:30:54,960
Speaker 1: the prospect world and a guy that I couldn't shut

649
00:30:55,000 --> 00:30:57,760
Speaker 1: up about last year. Apparently you couldn't either, we're both

650
00:30:57,800 --> 00:31:01,360
Speaker 1: still in on your outfield ynasty buys. We got two

651
00:31:01,400 --> 00:31:02,920
Speaker 1: for everybody, so let's hear him.

652
00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:05,240
Speaker 2: All right, So my first guy is White Langford, and

653
00:31:05,240 --> 00:31:08,120
Speaker 2: everyone's like, yeah, yeah, everybody knows about White Langford right now.

654
00:31:08,400 --> 00:31:11,760
Speaker 2: But I think that Langford, especially with this news that

655
00:31:11,800 --> 00:31:14,720
Speaker 2: he's like that, he's probably gonna break camp. Like I

656
00:31:14,760 --> 00:31:17,400
Speaker 2: would be taking Langford over guys like Mike Trout even

657
00:31:17,880 --> 00:31:19,920
Speaker 2: like a one year league, like not even dynasty. But

658
00:31:19,960 --> 00:31:23,120
Speaker 2: if I'm playing in like an FBC, I'm gonna probably

659
00:31:23,120 --> 00:31:26,680
Speaker 2: take him over Mike Trout, over Jazz, over Randy Rosarana,

660
00:31:26,720 --> 00:31:29,400
Speaker 2: and taking him over his teammate Evan Carter. That's how

661
00:31:29,480 --> 00:31:32,640
Speaker 2: high I am on White Langford Dynasty. You're taking him

662
00:31:32,640 --> 00:31:35,840
Speaker 2: over a Dolies like your team is so high. He's

663
00:31:35,920 --> 00:31:40,600
Speaker 2: up in that first tier with guys like Bets. Maybe

664
00:31:40,640 --> 00:31:44,200
Speaker 2: not maybe not with like Tucker and j Rod, but

665
00:31:44,240 --> 00:31:47,120
Speaker 2: he's in that next tier down with like Bets and

666
00:31:47,240 --> 00:31:50,520
Speaker 2: your don At Harper and guys guys like that. That's

667
00:31:50,560 --> 00:31:53,280
Speaker 2: how good he can be. So I just, you know,

668
00:31:53,320 --> 00:31:55,920
Speaker 2: maybe I'm overblowing it a little bit, but I think.

669
00:31:55,720 --> 00:31:57,960
Speaker 1: I've got him top twenty five. I got him top

670
00:31:57,960 --> 00:32:01,600
Speaker 1: twenty five in Dynasty, he he's up between fifteen and

671
00:32:01,640 --> 00:32:03,520
Speaker 1: twenty five. I think in a lot of people's minds,

672
00:32:03,760 --> 00:32:06,000
Speaker 1: I just think like people might not have wrapped their

673
00:32:06,040 --> 00:32:08,640
Speaker 1: head around like how valuable he is. And again, he

674
00:32:08,720 --> 00:32:10,920
Speaker 1: is one of those that kind of can cut that

675
00:32:10,960 --> 00:32:13,400
Speaker 1: line of being able to help you immediately. You and

676
00:32:13,440 --> 00:32:16,920
Speaker 1: I have not left the large Newt Bar train. We

677
00:32:17,000 --> 00:32:20,160
Speaker 1: are you and I are conducting. You're still you know,

678
00:32:20,240 --> 00:32:23,520
Speaker 1: you do the coal. I'll steer, and then I'll let

679
00:32:23,560 --> 00:32:25,640
Speaker 1: you steer for a bit. I'll fire up some of

680
00:32:25,640 --> 00:32:28,720
Speaker 1: the coal. We are still team large Newt Bar. And

681
00:32:28,760 --> 00:32:31,360
Speaker 1: what a better time to buy than when people are like, oh,

682
00:32:31,440 --> 00:32:32,320
Speaker 1: this didn't work out.

683
00:32:32,600 --> 00:32:36,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly. So his ADP right now in NFBC is

684
00:32:36,640 --> 00:32:40,400
Speaker 2: forty five. I've got him as my twenty seventh outfielder

685
00:32:40,560 --> 00:32:43,640
Speaker 2: just for this year alone. He's still only twenty six. Like,

686
00:32:43,760 --> 00:32:46,000
Speaker 2: just because he got hurt last year, that doesn't mean

687
00:32:46,080 --> 00:32:48,600
Speaker 2: he's not good right like he was he got injured

688
00:32:48,640 --> 00:32:51,520
Speaker 2: Day one. I'm a Cardinals fan, and Opening Day he

689
00:32:51,600 --> 00:32:54,240
Speaker 2: was like stealing a base and injured his hand or

690
00:32:54,240 --> 00:32:56,320
Speaker 2: something like that, and he was not right for like

691
00:32:56,440 --> 00:32:58,640
Speaker 2: a month after the first day of the season, so

692
00:32:58,680 --> 00:33:01,000
Speaker 2: he killed it for Team Japan. Everyone was all over

693
00:33:01,080 --> 00:33:03,200
Speaker 2: him and then he just played the whole year. Last

694
00:33:03,240 --> 00:33:05,280
Speaker 2: year there was one injury to another and he got hurt.

695
00:33:05,320 --> 00:33:07,160
Speaker 2: He hit the il like three or four different times

696
00:33:07,200 --> 00:33:10,040
Speaker 2: last year. So if he comes back and is healthy

697
00:33:10,320 --> 00:33:12,520
Speaker 2: and right now he's projected to hit third in the

698
00:33:12,520 --> 00:33:18,000
Speaker 2: Cardinals lineup, they're projecting Donovan Goldie, new Bar Aeronado, so

699
00:33:18,040 --> 00:33:22,080
Speaker 2: he's hitting third in between Goldi and Aeronado with hopefully

700
00:33:22,120 --> 00:33:25,360
Speaker 2: a healthy team this year. As a Cardinals fan, and

701
00:33:25,680 --> 00:33:27,960
Speaker 2: I think that new Bar is gonna have a big year.

702
00:33:28,240 --> 00:33:31,200
Speaker 2: He's big for OBP, for points leagues like this is

703
00:33:31,320 --> 00:33:33,040
Speaker 2: if you're in a points leaguer OBP league, this is

704
00:33:33,040 --> 00:33:33,800
Speaker 2: a guy you chase.

705
00:33:34,200 --> 00:33:37,480
Speaker 1: I love it. I'm in on pretty much every format

706
00:33:37,520 --> 00:33:40,320
Speaker 1: I want. Finally, we're gonna go to the starting pitchers.

707
00:33:40,320 --> 00:33:44,160
Speaker 1: We have three starting pitchers for you. I tease there

708
00:33:44,240 --> 00:33:47,560
Speaker 1: is a more old krusty name. That boy was really

709
00:33:47,560 --> 00:33:50,280
Speaker 1: fun the last couple of years, and people with the

710
00:33:50,320 --> 00:33:52,800
Speaker 1: injury have just kind of kicked him out. We have

711
00:33:52,880 --> 00:33:55,760
Speaker 1: a young injury guy and we have a huge breakout

712
00:33:55,800 --> 00:33:58,800
Speaker 1: from this past year. So your big three dynasty buys

713
00:33:58,840 --> 00:34:00,840
Speaker 1: that starting pitcher are who.

714
00:34:00,520 --> 00:34:03,480
Speaker 2: We've got Joe Muskrove. I have him coming into the

715
00:34:03,480 --> 00:34:05,920
Speaker 2: season as my number eight starting pitcher, so he's still

716
00:34:05,960 --> 00:34:09,240
Speaker 2: a top ten MSP for me. He's still only thirty

717
00:34:09,239 --> 00:34:11,480
Speaker 2: one years old, so a lot of people, I think,

718
00:34:11,719 --> 00:34:14,040
Speaker 2: think he's older maybe than he really is, because he's

719
00:34:14,040 --> 00:34:17,440
Speaker 2: been around for a while. Over the last three years,

720
00:34:17,520 --> 00:34:20,120
Speaker 2: he has had over a nineteen percent CA minus wall great,

721
00:34:20,520 --> 00:34:22,319
Speaker 2: so three years in a row that's pretty good. It

722
00:34:22,320 --> 00:34:25,359
Speaker 2: shows how consistent he is. Twenty nineteen, twenty twenty one,

723
00:34:25,360 --> 00:34:27,560
Speaker 2: and twenty twenty two he had thirty starts in all

724
00:34:27,600 --> 00:34:30,400
Speaker 2: three of those seasons, so obviously twenty twenty COVID. So

725
00:34:30,440 --> 00:34:32,440
Speaker 2: it's not like he's an injury prone guy either. He

726
00:34:32,480 --> 00:34:34,520
Speaker 2: had an injury last year, but before that he was

727
00:34:34,600 --> 00:34:37,600
Speaker 2: a very consistent starter, put up one hundred and seventy

728
00:34:37,680 --> 00:34:39,839
Speaker 2: hundred eighty innings pretty much every year the last few

729
00:34:39,920 --> 00:34:42,640
Speaker 2: years behind that, and then the Padres have a really

730
00:34:42,719 --> 00:34:45,279
Speaker 2: good defense too, and they're in a pitcher's park, So

731
00:34:45,280 --> 00:34:47,560
Speaker 2: those are things that when you're taking starters you need

732
00:34:47,600 --> 00:34:50,480
Speaker 2: to consider. And then it also depends on if you're

733
00:34:50,520 --> 00:34:53,440
Speaker 2: playing in wins or quality starts leagues. Musgrove is a guy.

734
00:34:53,480 --> 00:34:55,480
Speaker 2: When he starts, he usually goes pretty deep and is

735
00:34:55,520 --> 00:34:59,120
Speaker 2: going to get you quality starts or the padres hopefully

736
00:34:59,400 --> 00:35:01,480
Speaker 2: right for pod fans are going to be better than

737
00:35:01,560 --> 00:35:03,960
Speaker 2: last year, and you'll be able to get a decent

738
00:35:03,960 --> 00:35:06,759
Speaker 2: amount of wins with Musgrove going to the year. So

739
00:35:06,760 --> 00:35:09,520
Speaker 2: I think Musgrove has been very consistent over the long haul,

740
00:35:09,920 --> 00:35:12,520
Speaker 2: and last year with those injuries, people are going to

741
00:35:12,560 --> 00:35:15,359
Speaker 2: think maybe that he's not as consistent as he actually is.

742
00:35:15,840 --> 00:35:18,600
Speaker 1: We've got the two. These are two younger names. I

743
00:35:18,600 --> 00:35:21,879
Speaker 1: love the Musgrove one. I am all in. I'm buying

744
00:35:21,960 --> 00:35:25,240
Speaker 1: Musgrove right now. That age is not does not age

745
00:35:25,280 --> 00:35:27,879
Speaker 1: me out of anything. I think he's a tremendous buy

746
00:35:28,000 --> 00:35:32,040
Speaker 1: because his cost is as low as it's been since

747
00:35:32,080 --> 00:35:33,839
Speaker 1: Pirate days. I mean, that's kind of what it is.

748
00:35:33,880 --> 00:35:36,520
Speaker 1: So give me Joe Musgrove. These two. One I think

749
00:35:36,560 --> 00:35:37,840
Speaker 1: is a very hot name. I think a lot of

750
00:35:37,880 --> 00:35:40,320
Speaker 1: people don't know what to do about this Baltimore Orioles

751
00:35:40,360 --> 00:35:42,480
Speaker 1: starting pitcher. So why don't you walk us through your

752
00:35:42,520 --> 00:35:44,480
Speaker 1: two younger starting pitcher buys.

753
00:35:44,760 --> 00:35:48,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, So, Kyle Bradish I have as my number eighteen

754
00:35:48,760 --> 00:35:53,319
Speaker 2: starter coming into the year and that's that's for one year,

755
00:35:53,440 --> 00:35:56,440
Speaker 2: right for dynasty, I'd probably have him a little bit higher.

756
00:35:56,600 --> 00:35:59,600
Speaker 2: He's twenty seven years old, which throws people off because

757
00:35:59,600 --> 00:36:02,279
Speaker 2: I think he was one of these guys that came

758
00:36:02,360 --> 00:36:04,040
Speaker 2: up and then he wasn't very good when he first

759
00:36:04,080 --> 00:36:05,919
Speaker 2: came up, so a lot of people just wrote him off.

760
00:36:06,480 --> 00:36:08,680
Speaker 2: But last year in the second half, he had a

761
00:36:08,719 --> 00:36:11,560
Speaker 2: two to one four ERA, a ninety three whip, twenty

762
00:36:11,560 --> 00:36:14,280
Speaker 2: point six k minus wall create and a one hundred

763
00:36:14,280 --> 00:36:17,560
Speaker 2: and thirty stuff plus in all of baseball. Last year

764
00:36:17,600 --> 00:36:20,360
Speaker 2: he was second in stuff plus to Corbyn Burns in

765
00:36:20,400 --> 00:36:22,799
Speaker 2: the second half. And on top of it, he has

766
00:36:22,880 --> 00:36:26,719
Speaker 2: three plus pitches, the fastball, slider in curve, and the

767
00:36:26,760 --> 00:36:29,759
Speaker 2: slider has the best stuff plus in baseball of any

768
00:36:29,800 --> 00:36:33,040
Speaker 2: pitch at one seventy seven in the second half per

769
00:36:33,480 --> 00:36:37,879
Speaker 2: you know, stuff plus rankings. So Bradish I think, yeah,

770
00:36:38,080 --> 00:36:39,960
Speaker 2: it's crazy, he's still going to his peak, like he

771
00:36:40,000 --> 00:36:43,120
Speaker 2: could get better even like that second half. I don't

772
00:36:43,120 --> 00:36:46,720
Speaker 2: think it's aberration. I think that all these this stuff

773
00:36:46,760 --> 00:36:48,680
Speaker 2: backs it up. It's not like the Jack Flaherty second

774
00:36:48,680 --> 00:36:50,360
Speaker 2: half that we had a few years back. Yeah, we

775
00:36:50,400 --> 00:36:53,120
Speaker 2: had like a one era. None of the stuff backed

776
00:36:53,160 --> 00:36:54,840
Speaker 2: it up. He had like a four Sierra when he

777
00:36:54,880 --> 00:36:57,319
Speaker 2: had that one era. I'll tell you everything backs up

778
00:36:57,360 --> 00:36:58,120
Speaker 2: that this is legit.

779
00:36:58,320 --> 00:37:00,360
Speaker 1: The one thing I've really been wanting. I mean, the

780
00:37:00,360 --> 00:37:02,160
Speaker 1: the Kreik Kimberl thing I think does say a lot

781
00:37:02,160 --> 00:37:04,520
Speaker 1: about this team as well. Like the thing everybody wants

782
00:37:04,560 --> 00:37:07,399
Speaker 1: to hear is please let that bullpen be locked down

783
00:37:07,440 --> 00:37:11,560
Speaker 1: for these younger Oriole starters. Get Cano. I'm obviously Batista

784
00:37:11,560 --> 00:37:14,879
Speaker 1: being lost stinks, but get Cano, get Kimberl, get something else.

785
00:37:15,320 --> 00:37:17,560
Speaker 1: I also want you. I want to see more consolidation.

786
00:37:17,760 --> 00:37:20,880
Speaker 1: I want them to move like as I want the

787
00:37:20,960 --> 00:37:23,160
Speaker 1: Dambacks to do. I want the Orioles to take a

788
00:37:23,160 --> 00:37:25,440
Speaker 1: couple of those pieces and go and trade for one

789
00:37:25,600 --> 00:37:29,600
Speaker 1: more really great starter that pushes the matchups down a

790
00:37:29,600 --> 00:37:32,799
Speaker 1: little bit for these guys, and maybe consolidate to bring

791
00:37:32,840 --> 00:37:35,120
Speaker 1: in a leadership of a bat to go along with

792
00:37:35,160 --> 00:37:38,080
Speaker 1: guys like Jackson Holiday and Gunner Henderson. And you know,

793
00:37:38,120 --> 00:37:40,960
Speaker 1: maybe Kirstad's gone, maybe Kobe Mayo has to go, which

794
00:37:40,960 --> 00:37:43,560
Speaker 1: will stink for prospect people, but you know, get like

795
00:37:43,640 --> 00:37:46,280
Speaker 1: a big leader bat and then a big starting pitcher,

796
00:37:46,320 --> 00:37:48,160
Speaker 1: and you look at those things and you go, my god,

797
00:37:48,480 --> 00:37:51,359
Speaker 1: if you've got obviously the diamonback's kind of set up

798
00:37:51,360 --> 00:37:53,239
Speaker 1: precedent for this, like young, exciting team. But if you

799
00:37:53,239 --> 00:37:54,799
Speaker 1: have a lot, if you've got run support, you've got

800
00:37:54,840 --> 00:37:59,200
Speaker 1: defensive support, you've got bullpen support. That's where guys like

801
00:37:59,280 --> 00:38:01,839
Speaker 1: Bratish can throw. You can thrive in a situation where

802
00:38:01,840 --> 00:38:04,120
Speaker 1: wins are going to be there, where there's end of

803
00:38:04,400 --> 00:38:08,080
Speaker 1: games support from your bullpen. And you worry a little

804
00:38:08,080 --> 00:38:10,759
Speaker 1: bit when a team is way too young offensively that

805
00:38:10,800 --> 00:38:13,080
Speaker 1: you're going to go through some low lows and maybe

806
00:38:13,160 --> 00:38:15,520
Speaker 1: some high highs that they're making the moves that you

807
00:38:15,560 --> 00:38:17,120
Speaker 1: want to see. I just want to continue to get

808
00:38:17,160 --> 00:38:18,880
Speaker 1: them going that you want to buy now before all

809
00:38:18,920 --> 00:38:21,320
Speaker 1: that starts to happen. I think this is surprisingly actually

810
00:38:21,360 --> 00:38:23,360
Speaker 1: still a good time with bradish. Final one here you

811
00:38:23,440 --> 00:38:26,080
Speaker 1: had Shane Boss very popular in kind of the draft

812
00:38:26,080 --> 00:38:28,240
Speaker 1: community because everybody forgot about Boss.

813
00:38:28,560 --> 00:38:31,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, coming back from injury. He was a top forty

814
00:38:31,400 --> 00:38:33,840
Speaker 2: starter the year before he got hurt, Like everyone was

815
00:38:33,920 --> 00:38:37,200
Speaker 2: drafting him top forty. I think I picked him like

816
00:38:37,480 --> 00:38:41,000
Speaker 2: in the eighth round or something like that of an

817
00:38:41,080 --> 00:38:43,440
Speaker 2: NFBC draft. I was picking him like seven to eighth round.

818
00:38:43,640 --> 00:38:46,759
Speaker 2: So that's how good he is. And when people get hurt,

819
00:38:47,160 --> 00:38:50,399
Speaker 2: they just get forgotten about. He had ridiculous stuff plus

820
00:38:50,480 --> 00:38:53,320
Speaker 2: rankings came minus walk through the roof at every single level.

821
00:38:54,400 --> 00:38:56,440
Speaker 2: I think one of the things with him coming up

822
00:38:56,440 --> 00:38:59,960
Speaker 2: has always been how durable can he be in the minors.

823
00:39:00,520 --> 00:39:04,000
Speaker 2: So if you're drafting him though in the forty to

824
00:39:04,040 --> 00:39:07,480
Speaker 2: fifty range, all those guys have risks, right, and would

825
00:39:07,520 --> 00:39:11,800
Speaker 2: you rather take someone who has high upside? I mean,

826
00:39:11,920 --> 00:39:14,600
Speaker 2: like I'm looking at him in the same range as

827
00:39:14,600 --> 00:39:19,520
Speaker 2: like Walker Bueller. You're looking at him with like Jesus Lozardo,

828
00:39:19,600 --> 00:39:23,520
Speaker 2: maybe Joe Ryan, Shane Bieber, guys like that. Boz has

829
00:39:23,640 --> 00:39:26,680
Speaker 2: higher upside than a guy like Shane Bieber. Right, I

830
00:39:26,680 --> 00:39:29,480
Speaker 2: head picked Shane Bieber or Shane bos Which Shane do

831
00:39:29,520 --> 00:39:32,760
Speaker 2: you want? I'm going Boz. I'm going with this stuff.

832
00:39:33,120 --> 00:39:34,799
Speaker 2: So when you get these risks and you get these

833
00:39:34,840 --> 00:39:38,320
Speaker 2: question marks on guys, I tend to always veer towards

834
00:39:38,360 --> 00:39:40,320
Speaker 2: the stuff over other metrics.

835
00:39:40,440 --> 00:39:43,440
Speaker 1: And I think these are killer names across the board. Again,

836
00:39:44,080 --> 00:39:46,760
Speaker 1: when we're looking at who we're buying, some dynasty buys

837
00:39:46,880 --> 00:39:51,120
Speaker 1: Catcher bo Naylor first Spencer Torkelsen, Nate Low second, Matt McClain,

838
00:39:51,320 --> 00:39:55,160
Speaker 1: Edward Julian third, and short about Junior Camenaro, Jordan Lawler,

839
00:39:55,360 --> 00:39:57,239
