The weekend is here, t G. 0:01:08.280 --> 0:01:10.920 I f There's nothing I can think of that I 0:01:10.920 --> 0:01:14.119 would rather do and talk about catchers with you here 0:01:14.120 --> 0:01:16.080 on a Friday. Great. Thank you, buddy. I appreciate that. 0:01:16.120 --> 0:01:18.480 I appreciate that I have to sleep last night, man, 0:01:18.880 --> 0:01:21.160 really really well. Great week of sleep. Every week I 0:01:21.160 --> 0:01:25.080 feel refreshed. The only one was Judy. You know what's it? 0:01:25.520 --> 0:01:28.280 She uh? She knocked you off the pedestal left one day. 0:01:28.319 --> 0:01:30.680 I had a great sleep overall though I felt I 0:01:30.720 --> 0:01:32.520 feel great, I was really tired this morning that I I 0:01:32.560 --> 0:01:35.560 could have slept much longer, right, that's me every morning. Yeah, 0:01:35.600 --> 0:01:37.920 I know. I was really proud of myself. I made 0:01:37.920 --> 0:01:41.959 a homemade pesto last night, no help. I showed it 0:01:42.000 --> 0:01:44.240 to Sonder downstairs. She was impressed. Judy was like, this 0:01:44.280 --> 0:01:45.560 is the best pest that you've ever made. Do you 0:01:45.600 --> 0:01:49.520 make it from scratch? That's impressive because I buy like 0:01:49.560 --> 0:01:53.200 a creamy pesto package. So I made my own babyl pesto. 0:01:53.240 --> 0:01:54.480 Put it a little bit of cream because I was 0:01:54.480 --> 0:01:56.120 in the move of the cream you got. I mean, 0:01:56.160 --> 0:01:58.640 come on, we're always in the movie. Honestly, the cream 0:01:58.720 --> 0:02:02.000 the way I did it, you didn't need it. Look 0:02:02.040 --> 0:02:06.360 at this guy a little pat on the back during 0:02:06.360 --> 0:02:08.120 the breaker I should have probably put in the air. 0:02:09.320 --> 0:02:12.360 Yeah that's why I said, you know, wait to the break, Greg, 0:02:12.400 --> 0:02:16.000 but just slide it over here. Yeah, it looks pretty good. 0:02:16.480 --> 0:02:18.200 It looks pretty good. What do you got some fresh MutS? 0:02:18.320 --> 0:02:24.960 Obviously chicken in there, bow ties, some fresh mus, chicken pesto.

Let's head to 0:03:18.000 --> 0:03:21.359 the Arnold Palmer Invitational. They're playing that at the Bay 0:03:21.440 --> 0:03:25.200 Hill Golf Course in Orlando, Florida right now.

An upset alert. 0:03:45.920 --> 0:03:48.560 Looks like Northern Iowall will go down to Drake. They 0:03:48.560 --> 0:03:51.720 are the number one seed in the Missouri Valley Tournament. 0:03:51.800 --> 0:03:55.760 Quarterfinal action seventies seven fifty six Drake looking to put 0:03:55.760 --> 0:03:58.960 the finishing touches on a win here with sixteen seconds 0:03:59.040 --> 0:04:02.120 left in the second half. After that, the second game 0:04:02.400 --> 0:04:05.640 in the Missouri Valley Conference, you have Southern Illinois and Bradley. 0:04:05.680 --> 0:04:08.240 Bradley the five and a half point favorite one twenty 0:04:08.280 --> 0:04:11.160 four and a half your total in that one. Let's 0:04:11.200 --> 0:04:14.960 head head over to some NFL news. Austin Ekeler has 0:04:15.000 --> 0:04:19.920 agreed to a four year, fifteen million in guarantee contract 0:04:19.960 --> 0:04:22.680 that's twenty four and a half million overall with the 0:04:22.720 --> 0:04:27.040 Los Angeles Chargers. Eckler had a breakout year last season, 0:04:27.120 --> 0:04:30.719 finishing with one thousand, five hundred and fifty yards from scrimmage, 0:04:30.960 --> 0:04:35.919 including eleven total touchdowns. So once again the understricted free agent, 0:04:36.120 --> 0:04:39.360 Austin Ekeler has agreed to go back to the Chargers 0:04:39.520 --> 0:04:42.440 four year deal twenty four and a half but fifteen 0:04:42.560 --> 0:04:46.960 million in guarantees. That is according to e espn Adam Schefter. 0:04:47.360 --> 0:04:50.640 Other news making the rounds today, we had uh the 0:04:50.760 --> 0:04:53.400 Steph Kirbery come back last night the two time m 0:04:53.480 --> 0:04:56.120 v P after missing fifty eight games with a broken 0:04:56.200 --> 0:04:59.360 left hand. They finished with twenty three points in twenty 0:04:59.400 --> 0:05:02.880 seven minutes of first game Actress October, but the Warriors 0:05:02.880 --> 0:05:06.360 lost to the rot to one thirteen. And in baseball, 0:05:06.400 --> 0:05:09.039 the Los Angeles Angels have fired their long time visiting 0:05:09.080 --> 0:05:13.040 club house manager Brian Harkins after an internal investigation confirmed 0:05:13.240 --> 0:05:16.920 suspicions that he was providing fault doctoring substances to opposing 0:05:17.360 --> 0:05:20.599 pictures as according to ESPN as well. That's your BFF 0:05:20.720 --> 0:05:25.159 sports grade news update. Now back to Gregg and Frank. Guys, already, 0:05:25.160 --> 0:05:27.400 welcome back to the show. Here we're gonna talk about 0:05:27.440 --> 0:05:31.280 catchers from a fantasy baseball perspective. Today. We got a 0:05:31.360 --> 0:05:34.080 very big special interview that Greg Susman conducted. We'll get 0:05:34.120 --> 0:05:36.120 to that later on in the show as well. But 0:05:36.240 --> 0:05:38.680 like we do every day here on the BFS, we 0:05:38.760 --> 0:05:41.160 give you a little snippet of the NBA tip drill. 0:05:41.360 --> 0:05:43.479 You can find that on the sports Scrade YouTube page 0:05:43.520 --> 0:05:47.680 every single day, also on the NBA Fantasy Twitter as well. 0:05:47.960 --> 0:05:51.600 And Greg Sussman met up with Ricky Sanders of Delhi 0:05:51.680 --> 0:05:54.320 Rodad dot com earlier today to talk about tonight's NBA 0:05:54.400 --> 0:06:07.479 DFS Late at Center. We got Nikola on top tonight. 0:06:07.560 --> 0:06:10.440 You're not worried about the defensive presence of James Johnson 0:06:10.440 --> 0:06:15.640 and nas Read. I'm not worried about any defensive presence 0:06:15.720 --> 0:06:18.480 on the Minnesota Timberwolves. Right now. They have the defense 0:06:18.560 --> 0:06:21.479 that ranks dead last in defensive efficiency with you know, 0:06:21.520 --> 0:06:23.880 since Karl Anthony Towns has been out and since the 0:06:24.000 --> 0:06:27.599 Angel Russell was acquired. I mean, not only do you 0:06:27.680 --> 0:06:31.120 have this unbelievable matchup against a bad defense, but you 0:06:31.200 --> 0:06:34.479 have no Evan Fournier tonight, who's listed as doubtful. You 0:06:34.520 --> 0:06:37.599 could get a starting lineup. I don't think Terence Ross starts. 0:06:37.640 --> 0:06:39.440 He could start, but you couldn't get one with like 0:06:39.560 --> 0:06:45.400 James Ennis and Gary Clark in there alongside Buchevich. So basically, 0:06:45.400 --> 0:06:47.919 you know, Aaron Gordon not a high usage player either. 0:06:48.279 --> 0:06:51.640 Basically the entire offense could run through Nicola Bouchevich tonight, 0:06:52.000 --> 0:06:54.440 especially for you know stretches, you know, the beginning of 0:06:54.440 --> 0:06:57.279 each half where he is playing alongside the starters. I 0:06:57.320 --> 0:07:00.240 think you'll see, you know, mid thirties fits from Terence Raw, 0:07:00.480 --> 0:07:03.480 who obviously is a high usage player, but Nikola booge 0:07:03.480 --> 0:07:06.480 Fitch almost a percent rates guy across the board. He 0:07:06.640 --> 0:07:09.720 has priced at just eight four hundred. That's cheap for 0:07:10.160 --> 0:07:12.720 him in this matchup, even if Forgner was active with 0:07:12.840 --> 0:07:15.200 Pornier on the bench. I think this is just a 0:07:15.280 --> 0:07:19.200 crazy cheap price tag. Give me all the Nikola Bouchevitch tonight, 0:07:20.520 --> 0:07:24.400 all the vote tonight against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Evan Fournier 0:07:24.520 --> 0:07:26.760 could be out for the rest of the year. Vugin 0:07:26.960 --> 0:07:30.080 and Gordon are going to eat. Vucci. Main has been 0:07:30.080 --> 0:07:32.600 a mainstay for the Orlando Magic over the past couple 0:07:32.600 --> 0:07:35.680 of seasons. Obviously one of the elite players at the 0:07:35.680 --> 0:07:38.520 centered position. So you're playing over on Fandel only get 0:07:38.520 --> 0:07:41.480 one center used that spot on Vucci Main tonight. Actually, 0:07:41.720 --> 0:07:44.280 or like Timberwolves in that game, Frank, why is that? 0:07:45.360 --> 0:07:47.720 I think they're playing well right now. You're big on Nasri, 0:07:47.960 --> 0:07:51.040 their home dog. Nasri in a good spot, all right? 0:07:51.680 --> 0:07:55.600 I mean normally choosing the Timberwolves Greg in a good 0:07:55.640 --> 0:07:57.560 spot never ends. Well, it doesn't. We'll see if it 0:07:57.600 --> 0:08:00.200 does tonight. We shall see, all right. Today on the show, 0:08:00.280 --> 0:08:03.680 we're gonna review the catcher version, our final position and utility. 0:08:03.760 --> 0:08:07.440 We're gonna it's our final position of the of the season. Uh. 0:08:07.560 --> 0:08:09.160 Next wee We've got a fun week of shows plan 0:08:09.280 --> 0:08:11.640 for you. G np A Cheny will be here on Thursday. 0:08:11.840 --> 0:08:13.680 We have an auction previous Wednesday. We'll get back to 0:08:13.680 --> 0:08:15.880 the white Board series on Monday. So we got a 0:08:15.920 --> 0:08:18.920 lot of fun stuff next week. But today we start 0:08:18.960 --> 0:08:21.000 some of fun stuff because interview exact Gallant as you mentioned, 0:08:21.040 --> 0:08:24.400 which is awesome. Oh, Greg, so pumped got to talk 0:08:24.440 --> 0:08:27.360 to one of the hype guys himself, Zach Gallon. Will 0:08:27.400 --> 0:08:29.480 hear that later on in the show the final segment 0:08:29.640 --> 0:08:32.920 around three forty five pm Eastern time. Here on the show, 0:08:33.280 --> 0:08:36.080 Zac Gallen one of the Helium starting pitchers this season, 0:08:36.080 --> 0:08:38.079 one of the hype guys as we like to call him. 0:08:38.200 --> 0:08:41.920 In that group with Max Freed and Frankie Mantas, Hayes's 0:08:42.000 --> 0:08:44.760 Lazardodn Nelson Lamett, we have a good group of five 0:08:44.840 --> 0:08:47.120 or six starting pitchers that we expect to take a 0:08:47.200 --> 0:08:50.240 huge step forward this year and potentially break out. And 0:08:50.320 --> 0:08:52.920 Greg Sussman had the opportunity to speak with Zach Gallant, 0:08:52.920 --> 0:08:54.400 so we will hear that later on in the show. 0:08:54.679 --> 0:08:57.000 I'm very excited, Greg, I know you are. Frank I 0:08:57.000 --> 0:08:59.199 know how hurt you were the you weren't part of 0:08:59.200 --> 0:09:02.679 the interview. It's duty calls. You know, Craig Mish, you're 0:09:02.679 --> 0:09:05.280 in the bathroom that long. No, Craig Mish likes a 0:09:05.360 --> 0:09:07.280 joke about me taking the hot air balloon from one 0:09:07.320 --> 0:09:10.640 studio to the other. That is not true. So I 0:09:10.720 --> 0:09:13.360 was in transit on my way here, missed out on 0:09:13.360 --> 0:09:17.439 the interview. I have faith in the world. Sweet time 0:09:17.520 --> 0:09:22.840 coming from Poard authority here sweet ash time. Greg, you 0:09:22.880 --> 0:09:25.199 don't know any of the details. What do you mean 0:09:25.240 --> 0:09:27.840 I took my sweet time. You're waiting for the train. 0:09:28.120 --> 0:09:29.600 As soon as I got down there, the train came. 0:09:29.840 --> 0:09:31.480 I don't believe it. He's like, quote, I'm waiting for 0:09:31.520 --> 0:09:34.200 the one minute. I just to wait. It wasn't as 0:09:34.200 --> 0:09:35.760 soon as you got down there, that wasn't I have 0:09:35.880 --> 0:09:38.400 time this out before, Greg. Taking the train if you 0:09:38.480 --> 0:09:43.000 have one stops faster than walking from forty second Street 0:09:43.120 --> 0:09:46.240 to thirty fifth Street something in the pouring rain. You 0:09:46.440 --> 0:09:50.319 just ate seven eleven pizza. You could have walked seven blocks. 0:09:51.240 --> 0:09:54.200 I do. I could use a word, but I'm telling 0:09:54.240 --> 0:09:56.520 you I have timed it out, and it's faster. Taking 0:09:56.520 --> 0:09:59.679 the train. I tried my best. It's fascinating. The train 0:09:59.760 --> 0:10:01.800 for me. I walk. The bus came a little bit 0:10:01.880 --> 0:10:04.480 later today than usual too, so that also kind of 0:10:04.520 --> 0:10:09.000 contributed to the the late arrival. So I'm sad, but Greg, 0:10:09.000 --> 0:10:10.760 I have faith in you. You had the opportunity to 0:10:10.800 --> 0:10:13.720 talk to Zack Gallan. Shout out to Seawan Guastamakia. Producer 0:10:13.720 --> 0:10:16.920 downstairs hooked us up with the interview with Zach. Can't 0:10:16.960 --> 0:10:18.560 mean to tell you the interview that Shawn schedule for 0:10:18.600 --> 0:10:21.280 next week. Oh no, let's tell me. It's Joe Musgrove 0:10:21.880 --> 0:10:25.120 who didn't get get out of the only ending that 0:10:25.160 --> 0:10:27.680 he tried to pitch today, Greg, he did not, And 0:10:27.720 --> 0:10:30.280 it's not Joe mush Well, that would have been great. 0:10:30.400 --> 0:10:32.000 We've been trying to get Joe Musgrove on the show 0:10:32.040 --> 0:10:34.000 for like five years now. We try to get Joe 0:10:34.040 --> 0:10:35.960 must grow Wade a long time ago, we did, we didn't. 0:10:36.200 --> 0:10:39.080 Now I don't really want to talk to him, all right, Yeah, 0:10:39.320 --> 0:10:43.239 is what it is? Greg, Catcher, Catcher you're excited. No, sorry, 0:10:44.120 --> 0:10:46.040 we'll try to make it work here. Obviously, if you're 0:10:46.040 --> 0:10:48.400 playing Rhodo leagues, you have to start two catchers, which 0:10:49.040 --> 0:10:53.920 you know everyone one catcher. Sure, I mean, honestly, it 0:10:53.960 --> 0:10:56.120 might be better than starting two catchers, Greg, some of 0:10:56.120 --> 0:10:58.160 those second catchers you start are going to hurt you 0:10:58.360 --> 0:11:00.960 more than they can help you. Hopefully we can find 0:11:00.960 --> 0:11:03.360 a few sleepers that will not do that, you know, 0:11:03.360 --> 0:11:05.680 guys that will actually help you this upcoming season. But 0:11:05.920 --> 0:11:08.400 we're gonna dive into the Gary Sanchez Real Muto and 0:11:08.640 --> 0:11:11.800 kind of give you our top targets at the catch 0:11:11.800 --> 0:11:13.880 our position this upcoming season. So after the break, I 0:11:13.880 --> 0:11:15.360 think the question that we're gonna have to ask our 0:11:15.520 --> 0:11:18.160 not ask ourselves, but answer for everybody is when do 0:11:18.240 --> 0:11:19.880 you take a catcher right or in an auction? How 0:11:19.960 --> 0:11:22.480 much do you spend on a catcher? Because everybody knows 0:11:22.480 --> 0:11:24.839 the top catchers are Jay c Real Mito and it's 0:11:24.840 --> 0:11:27.160 Gary Sanchez. He has money ground. Now we'll we'll go 0:11:27.280 --> 0:11:29.319 trais right like we know this salavador for us, you 0:11:29.360 --> 0:11:32.080 know you really like it's like when do you do it? 0:11:32.360 --> 0:11:34.199 When you Jay c Real meetso is a top catcher 0:11:34.200 --> 0:11:36.240 on the board, Gary sanch is one of the top 0:11:36.280 --> 0:11:39.240 catchers on the board. When is the right time to 0:11:39.360 --> 0:11:41.200 pull the trigger? Like do you pay up at the 0:11:41.240 --> 0:11:44.480 catcher position? It's not like just like it's not unlike 0:11:44.480 --> 0:11:46.559 the quarterback spot right, like you pay up for quarterback 0:11:46.600 --> 0:11:48.839 advantage of booball you know, it's kind of similar in 0:11:48.880 --> 0:11:53.080 a stats tight end. Greg, that's fair too. Yeah, do 0:11:53.120 --> 0:11:56.520 you like taking Travis Kelsey and Rob Gronkowski for us? 0:11:56.640 --> 0:12:01.240 And maybe you like Muto should really? All right? Where 0:12:01.240 --> 0:12:03.520 do you hear? What? Probably where your Franks thoughts are 0:12:03.520 --> 0:12:06.679 on it or couchal targets? And then when to take 0:12:06.760 --> 0:12:10.160 it so you don't get this out next. I want 0:12:10.200 --> 0:12:12.880 to light the lamp on Draffkings and FanDuel this NHL 0:12:12.960 --> 0:12:16.040 DFS season.

Well well, well, well, not a 0:13:05.679 --> 0:13:09.480 Friday hanging out. Here's our catcher show, Frank. We've been 0:13:09.520 --> 0:13:13.440 waiting all off season for this Moment's exactly right, Craig. 0:13:13.960 --> 0:13:16.000 Nothing else I'd rather do on a Friday. There's no 0:13:16.120 --> 0:13:20.000 place I'd rather be. There's nothing I would rather you 0:13:20.080 --> 0:13:24.920 not do than sing. All right, Frank through one of 0:13:24.920 --> 0:13:28.040 the catcher spot, the top catcher on the board. You 0:13:28.160 --> 0:13:30.679 don't like drafting catcher early because you feel that there 0:13:30.760 --> 0:13:33.520 is obviously not an advantage to it. But don't like 0:13:33.640 --> 0:13:35.839 tight ends where I feel like there's like a good 0:13:35.880 --> 0:13:38.280 amount of solid Like most of the guys on the 0:13:38.320 --> 0:13:43.640 screen for you right now really suck. There's not many 0:13:43.720 --> 0:13:47.280 good players on that list. Well, there are some. They 0:13:47.320 --> 0:13:50.839 can get much later. I don't take j will me 0:13:50.880 --> 0:13:53.960 so because I don't. Catchers don't play every single day, 0:13:54.080 --> 0:13:56.000 and as good as he is, they're also more prone 0:13:56.000 --> 0:13:59.439 to injury than other spots. Where do you feel comfortable 0:13:59.440 --> 0:14:05.960 taking a catcher? Usually around the definitely pass pick one hundred. 0:14:06.080 --> 0:14:09.200 I usually wind up with one of my top seven 0:14:09.280 --> 0:14:11.920 or eight for my first catcher. Again, this is for 0:14:11.920 --> 0:14:14.600 a rotal league. In a twelve team league, I'm probably 0:14:14.640 --> 0:14:16.280 just gonna wait till towards the end and you know 0:14:16.320 --> 0:14:19.960 whoever the best value is out of a Savoneo Perez, Carson, 0:14:20.080 --> 0:14:24.240 Kelly Wilson, Contreris. If someone falls in a one catcher league, sure, 0:14:24.600 --> 0:14:26.720 I want one of my top eight guys in a 0:14:26.800 --> 0:14:29.080 two catcher league. I still want one of my top 0:14:29.080 --> 0:14:31.320 eight guys in my first catcher, and then for my 0:14:31.360 --> 0:14:33.880 second one. Look, it winds up to be top one 0:14:33.880 --> 0:14:36.560 of my top twenty. Uh, that's perfectly fine as my 0:14:36.600 --> 0:14:39.280 second catcher. I really don't put a lot of stock 0:14:39.720 --> 0:14:42.080 into the second catcher, Greg, I'm never gonna be one 0:14:42.120 --> 0:14:44.600 of the people who drafts you know, J. C. Real 0:14:44.640 --> 0:14:47.400 Muto and a Salvador Perez, Like, that's never going to 0:14:47.440 --> 0:14:49.880 be the player that I am, because, as you mentioned, Greg, 0:14:49.880 --> 0:14:53.560 you passed up on so many other position players who 0:14:53.600 --> 0:14:56.640 can contribute across the board more than likely, I mean, 0:14:56.680 --> 0:14:59.000 outside of real Muto, no one's gonna give you stolen 0:14:59.000 --> 0:15:01.760 bases at the catcher because Edition and those players are 0:15:01.760 --> 0:15:04.280 just gonna play more, right obviously, like shortstop outfield their 0:15:04.360 --> 0:15:06.440 first basement. They're going to play more than a catcher. 0:15:06.520 --> 0:15:09.280 Even you know, the catcher who plays the most, let's 0:15:09.280 --> 0:15:12.480 say like Emily and last year Wilson Ramos played a ton. 0:15:12.800 --> 0:15:16.240 You're not getting more than like a hundred and thirty games, Max. Yeah, 0:15:16.280 --> 0:15:20.560 probably more realistically, like a hundred and twenty. So look, 0:15:20.680 --> 0:15:23.640 everybody has a price. If JT. Real Muto falls to 0:15:23.680 --> 0:15:26.320 the right price, Craig and I will take it, of course, 0:15:26.360 --> 0:15:28.200 which in a fifteen team league. He felt to me 0:15:28.240 --> 0:15:30.600 in the sixth round. I took him in that draft, 0:15:30.960 --> 0:15:32.880 and I didn't mind the way when my team turned out. 0:15:33.080 --> 0:15:34.600 But more often than not, he goes in the fourth 0:15:34.640 --> 0:15:37.560 and fifth and I just can't invest a catcher position 0:15:37.800 --> 0:15:40.320 at that point because the pictures are passing up on 0:15:40.600 --> 0:15:43.040 the speed the batting average that you're passing up on. 0:15:43.400 --> 0:15:45.760 But more than likely it's after pick one hundred, I'll 0:15:45.760 --> 0:15:48.360 target my first catcher and I'll try to get someone 0:15:48.440 --> 0:15:53.040 like Salvador Perez, Wilson, Ramos, A, Carson Kelly, somebody like that. 0:15:53.600 --> 0:15:55.920 I agree with you. That's kind of the area I 0:15:56.000 --> 0:15:59.280 like to live in as well, a little bit more aggressive. 0:16:00.280 --> 0:16:02.440 My guys. Wilson traish for a long time. You know 0:16:02.560 --> 0:16:04.720 that about me, And he's going where right now the 0:16:04.840 --> 0:16:12.880 n F you say week, he is going Ye, So 0:16:14.600 --> 0:16:19.600 that is last year. I feel like it picks contraris 0:16:19.600 --> 0:16:22.160 in like the thirteenth round, and I felt good about that. 0:16:22.200 --> 0:16:24.440 I think that's really where I want to live ideally, 0:16:24.440 --> 0:16:26.320 and It's pretty similar to where you were talking about 0:16:26.600 --> 0:16:29.840 take a catcher there, but before some of the ones 0:16:29.880 --> 0:16:32.720 like I don't want are the only ones left. We 0:16:32.800 --> 0:16:35.080 have sleepers that we like. I have a whole crew 0:16:35.120 --> 0:16:38.920 of nine to eight and I all think are kind 0:16:38.920 --> 0:16:41.280 of the same. To be honest with you, I want 0:16:41.320 --> 0:16:43.560 one of my eight guys. I'm gonna take that catcher 0:16:43.640 --> 0:16:45.400 to make sure I get one of those eight guys 0:16:45.440 --> 0:16:47.440 like I like Carson Kelly that wants my starting catcher. 0:16:48.360 --> 0:16:51.480 Not really no, especially in one catcher league, right, Like 0:16:51.480 --> 0:16:53.720 I don't want Carson Kelly to be my one catcher 0:16:53.760 --> 0:16:56.200 in a two catcher league. We have talked about this, 0:16:56.280 --> 0:16:58.520 you and I that we want to spend no more 0:16:58.520 --> 0:17:00.920 than ten dollars on two catchers about in the league 0:17:00.920 --> 0:17:03.520 where we are um in the state draft. We're not 0:17:03.560 --> 0:17:05.680 going to invest high draft picks in that. We're gonna 0:17:05.720 --> 0:17:07.040 want a guy just to have me like, all right, 0:17:07.040 --> 0:17:09.800 we're comfortable with this guy. We're not going to messed heavily. 0:17:09.840 --> 0:17:11.639 And the same same remains true for me. I'm never 0:17:11.640 --> 0:17:13.280 gonna be the guy that draft shakes really leads out. 0:17:13.440 --> 0:17:15.080 I'm not gonna be the guy that ras Gary Sanchez 0:17:15.119 --> 0:17:17.560 I'm just not gonna do it, Yes, because again you 0:17:17.600 --> 0:17:19.919 pass up on players who play every single day exactly 0:17:19.960 --> 0:17:22.800 and in a better chance of getting stay healthy. Yeah. Look, 0:17:22.920 --> 0:17:26.000 catchers get nicked up all the time. Remember there behind 0:17:26.000 --> 0:17:29.320 the plate, their pitches are getting fouled off their face mask. 0:17:29.640 --> 0:17:31.840 You know, there's balls in the dirt that they're trying 0:17:31.880 --> 0:17:34.800 to you know, drop down and stop from you know, 0:17:34.840 --> 0:17:37.199 being passed balls. And you look, they're constantly taking a 0:17:37.240 --> 0:17:39.720 beating back there. So they are prone to getting more 0:17:40.000 --> 0:17:43.720 of to being more injured consistently. And you know Gary 0:17:43.760 --> 0:17:45.920 Sanchez if you just want to talk about him Greg specifically, 0:17:45.920 --> 0:17:47.520 I mean he's missed a ton of time over the 0:17:47.520 --> 0:17:50.040 past couple of seasons with various different injuries, and a 0:17:50.080 --> 0:17:51.960 lot of it didn't even come you know, playing the 0:17:51.960 --> 0:17:54.199 catcher position a few times, it's just like running the 0:17:54.200 --> 0:17:57.480 first base. He's you know, suffered a few injuries. And look, 0:17:57.960 --> 0:18:00.200 real Muto is the number one catcher and fantasy and 0:18:00.240 --> 0:18:02.840 there's no doubt about it. He's been incredibly durable. Give 0:18:02.880 --> 0:18:05.439 you five, five to ten stolen bases. You look at 0:18:05.480 --> 0:18:09.639 what he did last year, Greg, and it's look, he 0:18:09.720 --> 0:18:12.400 scored ninety two runs as a catcher. I mean, that's 0:18:12.520 --> 0:18:15.800 ridiculous in the Phillies lineup. Obviously, Good Ball Park's hidden. 0:18:15.840 --> 0:18:18.240 He's in a contract. Theoris twenty five home runs last 0:18:18.280 --> 0:18:21.840 year at a massive second half eighty three r bis. 0:18:21.880 --> 0:18:24.600 His runs, RBIs and stolen basis all led catchers, Greg, 0:18:24.800 --> 0:18:27.280 So there's no doubt if you do want to pay 0:18:27.359 --> 0:18:29.800 up at the position, Real Muto is the number one 0:18:29.800 --> 0:18:33.320 guy over Gary Sanchez. Gary Sanchez to me, is just 0:18:34.040 --> 0:18:38.040 so hard to figure out because the batting average fluctuates 0:18:38.119 --> 0:18:42.359 all over the place. The plate discipline is questionable at times. 0:18:42.359 --> 0:18:45.440 He strikes out a lot, He misses time. Last year 0:18:45.440 --> 0:18:47.440 the launch angle went way up. It seemed like all 0:18:47.440 --> 0:18:49.240 he was trying to do was hit home runs. The 0:18:49.240 --> 0:18:52.960 batting average suffered as a result, only hit two thirty two. 0:18:53.440 --> 0:18:55.920 His splits were all messed up, lesson, Like, Gary Sanchez 0:18:56.000 --> 0:18:58.680 is just a weird player to figure out and something 0:18:59.720 --> 0:19:02.719 there's so much like if he has higher upside than 0:19:02.720 --> 0:19:06.080 real Muto, there's like, there's no doubt about that he 0:19:06.080 --> 0:19:09.080 has higher upside. He does. I think if Gary ever 0:19:09.119 --> 0:19:11.359 stayed healthy for like a hundred and thirty plus games, Greg, 0:19:11.920 --> 0:19:16.119 he's giving you close to forty home runs and no 0:19:16.240 --> 0:19:19.479 other catcher is doing that. It's not close. I think 0:19:19.480 --> 0:19:22.000 his upside is higher than real Muto, but his downside, 0:19:22.119 --> 0:19:25.960 his floor is way lower than Real Music had hundred 0:19:25.960 --> 0:19:27.480 six games last year. You know there's twenty games he 0:19:27.480 --> 0:19:30.199 has six four hord runs. Yeah, yeah, for sure, j 0:19:30.359 --> 0:19:38.080 zero music last year. He stays healthy the average ship 0:19:38.480 --> 0:19:40.760 you're saying, no, I still rank Real Muto number one. 0:19:40.760 --> 0:19:42.560 I'm just saying the upside for me, in my opinion, 0:19:42.800 --> 0:19:45.880 if everything were to break right right like nine percental 0:19:45.920 --> 0:19:48.640 outcomes for both of these catchers, I think Gary sanchez 0:19:48.720 --> 0:19:51.760 Is upside is higher than that of Real Muto. So 0:19:52.000 --> 0:19:54.399 if you do want an elite catcher, and you know 0:19:54.600 --> 0:19:56.080 you want one of these top two guys, and just 0:19:56.119 --> 0:19:58.920 wait a couple of rounds until after Real Muto goes again. 0:19:59.000 --> 0:20:01.200 Normally he goes in the fourth, fifth round, you can 0:20:01.200 --> 0:20:05.080 wait till the six seventh round for Gary Sanchez and 0:20:05.240 --> 0:20:06.600 you can still wind up with one of the best 0:20:06.680 --> 0:20:10.879 catchers in baseball. Great lineup, great ballpark, YadA, YadA. You've 0:20:10.920 --> 0:20:12.880 heard it a million times when it comes to the Yankees. 0:20:13.240 --> 0:20:15.760 But just know that there are a lot of moving 0:20:15.800 --> 0:20:18.399 parts for Gary Sanchez. Greg, Obviously, we live in the 0:20:18.400 --> 0:20:21.280 New York area and we watch a lot of Yankees games, 0:20:21.600 --> 0:20:24.280 and it seems like every single year there's like a 0:20:24.280 --> 0:20:27.399 timing issue with Gary Sanders because he has the and 0:20:27.400 --> 0:20:30.040 it's always like, oh, he goes into this prolonged slump 0:20:30.080 --> 0:20:31.760 because he can't get his timing down. He has the 0:20:31.760 --> 0:20:34.159 big leg kick. There are just so many moving parts 0:20:34.320 --> 0:20:36.080 when it comes to Gary Sanchez, plus you need him 0:20:36.080 --> 0:20:39.240 to stay healthy. So I'm just washing my hands of it. 0:20:39.280 --> 0:20:42.280 I'm not getting involved with either of the top two catchers. Honestly, Greg, 0:20:42.320 --> 0:20:44.960 I get it. The draft price is too high for me. 0:20:45.160 --> 0:20:47.520 I you would love to own both of these guys, 0:20:47.560 --> 0:20:49.160 right like you would love to have him on the team. 0:20:49.200 --> 0:20:52.000 But the slump with Gary Santras is incredibly frustrating. You know, 0:20:52.040 --> 0:20:54.040 we'll get hot, It'll be a nice street, that's who. 0:20:54.119 --> 0:20:56.360 Thirty batting averages will be very, very annoying. I'd rather 0:20:56.480 --> 0:20:59.840 I'd rather the forty home run guy with a similar 0:21:00.280 --> 0:21:02.879 wait play every day like your boy, Greg. Over the 0:21:02.920 --> 0:21:05.960 past week, Gary Sanchez is going to pick seventy, which 0:21:06.000 --> 0:21:08.960 is just ahead of jose A Bray. You, Victor Roeboys 0:21:09.400 --> 0:21:16.680 Nelson cruise, Luis Robert, how can you a straight face? 0:21:16.800 --> 0:21:18.919 You can't do it, say that you should take a 0:21:19.080 --> 0:21:22.720 catcher who is most likely going to miss time over 0:21:22.880 --> 0:21:25.760 players like this who are gonna give you such consistent production, 0:21:25.840 --> 0:21:29.080 good batting average Robost can give you solen basis, Luis Robert, 0:21:29.480 --> 0:21:32.240
