Speaker 2: I just you know, the fielding and the betting over
Speaker 2: for ground balls. I'm a d h only at this
Speaker 2: point in my career.

Speaker 2: running afterwards, that's a whole other story. That's a whole
Speaker 2: I don't know how big the bases are. That's the
Speaker 2: whole thing we're going to dive into. But today it's
Speaker 2: all about the Rodo formats. And because Mason's in so
Speaker 2: many drafts and so much going on, he's the perfect
Speaker 2: person to have on today for the show to get

Speaker 2: to business. We have selected our spots. Welsh is such
Speaker 2: a wonderful guy. He didn't take the one spot. He
Speaker 2: took the two, so he wasn't gonna be you know.
Speaker 2: He's like, well, you know, I don't want to make
Speaker 2: it too easy. I'll just go with the two spot.
Speaker 2: Mason is in the middle. He's the man in the
Speaker 2: middle at one o six. I took the turn at ten.
Speaker 2: So Welsh, we are going to kick things off here?
Speaker 2: What are you looking for? Is it just the Ronald
Speaker 2: Acunya star does your typical Welsh beginning?
Speaker 6: If he's there, by the way, maybe a world record
Speaker 6: of the longest I went on a podcast without talking.
Speaker 5: That was a world I didn't say one word. We
Speaker 5: went five minutes.
Speaker 4: Proud of you.
Speaker 6: I was actually worried if you were still with us,
Speaker 6: you I was just going to keep rolling with it,
Speaker 6: like you're just going to keep going. If you hadn't
Speaker 6: thrown it to me, I wouldn't have said a word.
Speaker 6: I was gonna see how long I could go on
Speaker 6: the over under all the rest of the episodes we
Speaker 6: ever do, will be unders.
Speaker 5: If Ronald Acunya is there, he's my number one.
Speaker 6: I'm taking him. I might pivot a little bit. Aaron
Speaker 6: Judge goes number one. I don't have to worry about it.
Speaker 6: The pivot I was thinking about was Josi Ramirez. We've
Speaker 6: talked about the position scarcity at third base. It stinks
Speaker 6: you get Rosie Ramirez. You've got your five tools. A
Speaker 6: little bit low on batting average. I don't care that much. Actually,
Speaker 6: justin I'd be really curious during this to talk about you.
Speaker 6: Kind of famously a couple of years ago, talked about
Speaker 6: the punt average in Rodo. We don't just have to
Speaker 6: punt anything, but you jumped in and you are pretty
Speaker 6: prominent about the punting average. Not that Jose Aermeres is
Speaker 6: a punt average guy, but he kind of qualifies into
Speaker 6: that area. But I'm going to stick with my number
Speaker 6: one guy at two, Ronald Kunya.
Speaker 3: It's amazing you mentioned that because I just wrote an
Speaker 3: article for Fantasy Bruse about punting and I have a
Speaker 3: whole section in there about punting average, so and I
Speaker 3: think it should be up or maybe going up soon.
Speaker 3: So definitely go check out that article if you want
Speaker 3: to learn more about punting average and why could be
Speaker 3: such a useful tool in Rodo.
Speaker 1: Ah, look at that. I love the seamless plugging. It's
Speaker 1: so good company, man, right.
Speaker 2: A company man, and I'm so glad to have you
Speaker 2: here part of it. Slowly but surely we're like Cartman's
Speaker 2: trapper keeper. We start to absorb everyone we possibly can
Speaker 2: into our little Fantasy pros family. Trey Turner goes at
Speaker 2: one oh three, Jose Ermera's at one o four, My dude,
Speaker 2: Julio at one o five. Mason, Yeah, almost had him,
Speaker 2: he was right there.
Speaker 1: You just missed him. So where do you go next?
Speaker 1: At one oh six?
Speaker 3: Oh, I think it's pretty easy, especially in a format
Speaker 3: like this where Shoe Ohtani is a pitcher and a hitter,
Speaker 3: to have the kind of flexibility to kind of go
Speaker 3: back and forth between the two. Even in a weekly league,
Speaker 3: it's it's such a nice advantage. But in a daily
Speaker 3: league he's easily the number one player in Fantasy. So
Speaker 3: Joyotani at six is a pretty easy snag.
Speaker 1: All right.
Speaker 2: So after that it goes O Tani, Alvarez, Juan Soto,
Speaker 2: Kyle Tucker.
Speaker 1: Then it is to me.
Speaker 2: So I have got some big options on the board here.
Speaker 2: I'm going to wait on pitching, especially because it's a
Speaker 2: ten man league that's typically my m oh, you know,
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go ahead and roll the dice here with
Speaker 2: Mike Trout, and I know Vladdie's still out there too.
Speaker 2: I might come back and take him with my second
Speaker 2: pick here, but I just want to lock in Trout
Speaker 2: here in the more shallow league of more apt to
Speaker 2: have a little bit more risk on my teams because
Speaker 2: the replacement value is just a little easier, and outfield
Speaker 2: is still dreadful. If you're twelve man, ten person league,
Speaker 2: doesn't matter, it's still all terrible. You got to find
Speaker 2: outfield some way. So now it's a matter of do
Speaker 2: I want to go with the infielder. I want to
Speaker 2: go back to a position like second base outfield where
Speaker 2: I can get a guy like Mooky Bets, or take
Speaker 2: flat because first base is so tricky. I'm gonna go
Speaker 2: ahead and take Flatty and start my team out with
Speaker 2: Trout and Vlatty. I'm gonna pass up Mooky Bets.
Speaker 6: You're shocking me on this one. I mean, no Molky Bets,
Speaker 6: no Freddie Freeman, no Bobby Witt Junior. You just like
Speaker 6: throw the gauntlet down and you're like, let's go Trout
Speaker 6: in Vladimir Guerrero, screw those ranks.
Speaker 5: I threw the ranks.
Speaker 1: I love it.
Speaker 2: Look, it might not like me on the way back,
Speaker 2: it might yell at me, but you know what, I'm
Speaker 2: gonna give this a whirl here, Vladden Trout's a pretty good
Speaker 2: start if everyone stays healthy and does what they're.
Speaker 1: Supposed to do.
Speaker 2: Bobby Witt was in that conversation, but then he took
Speaker 2: a picture at you at spring training, and now all
Speaker 2: of a sudden, this stock went down a couple o.
Speaker 5: Come on, it's a great picture. Such a nice it's
Speaker 5: a great picture.
Speaker 2: But you know, friends of the Welsh, I don't know
Speaker 2: Mookie Bets at two o two, then Boba Shett at
Speaker 2: two o three, Freeman at two o four, Bobby Witt
Speaker 2: still on the board.
Speaker 1: I almost took a Mason.
Speaker 3: Are you going to oh man, No, I'm gonna take
Speaker 3: Manny Machado.
Speaker 6: Uh.
Speaker 3: I just don't know that you get any safer than
Speaker 3: Many Machado. You honestly should be a first round pick.
Speaker 3: And we talked about the positional scarcity at third base.
Speaker 3: Another article I wrote about at fantasypros dot com. Go
Speaker 3: check down on it. It is definitely up. That came
Speaker 3: out last week. So uh yeah, I mean, I love
Speaker 3: many Machado. He's just about as safe as you can be.
Speaker 3: He has the speed component, which I think everybody kind
Speaker 3: of forgets that he actually steals bases too. But he's
Speaker 3: always gonna hit thirty home runs, gonna hit for a
Speaker 3: decent average in a great lineup.
Speaker 2: Love Mady Machado, all right, and many Machado hopefully won't
Speaker 2: opt out of your roster at some point in the season.
Speaker 2: Bobby Witt finally goes to two oh six quarter runs
Speaker 2: a two oh seven tatist just before Welsh. It's gonna
Speaker 2: be one of those kind of days, Welsh. I feel like,
Speaker 2: all right, two oh nine, Welsh, what do you got
Speaker 2: for us? Ten seconds left on the clock.
Speaker 5: Yeah, exactly what I'm gonna do here. There's two third basemen.
Speaker 6: I really like, I'm gonna get one coming back because
Speaker 6: they're not gonna take two. So I'm gonna take Pete Alonzo,
Speaker 6: who's number one on my board for big power at
Speaker 6: first base, and I know I'll at least get one,
Speaker 6: and I get a choice of both because Garrett Cole
Speaker 6: and Paul Goldschmidt went back to back great picks there.
Speaker 6: I've got a huge, huge power here, and I'm starting
Speaker 6: off with Pete Alonso and Ronald Acunya. Akunyi gave me
Speaker 6: the stolen bases that I want. I've got eleap power
Speaker 6: in here, and at third base I actually prioritize Austin
Speaker 6: Riley over Rafael Devers. In most formats, the fantasy pros
Speaker 6: wants me to take Raphael Devers, and the batting average
Speaker 6: is a little bit of a tick up, and I'm
Speaker 6: actually gonna pivot that way over Austin Riley in this
Speaker 6: instance because pet Alan if I had taken if I
Speaker 6: had taken gold Schmidt, I would have gone.
Speaker 5: With my guy, Austin Riley.
Speaker 6: I think these guys are one two, So I'm gonna
Speaker 6: go with Devers, even though I have Austin Riley over,
Speaker 6: just as a little uptick on the batting average, and
Speaker 6: I got my third base locked up here. So three
Speaker 6: straight hitters, U d'acunia Alonso endeavors for me.
Speaker 2: Love the Alonzo pick two, Garrett Cole at two to ten,
Speaker 2: Gold Schmid before Devs. After that, Jacob de Gram, Austin
Speaker 2: Riley and only Austin Riley. Then Michael Harris three to
Speaker 2: zero six. Justin Mason, You're on.
Speaker 3: The clock, oh, So this is a play where I
Speaker 3: actually what the guy I really want to take I
Speaker 3: think will be available in the fourth round for me.
Speaker 4: So I'm gonna.
Speaker 3: Pivot a little bit and kind of go with the system.
Speaker 3: Sometimes you gotta do that. Maybe you like a guy
Speaker 3: more than others, but on the draft ranks that you're using,
Speaker 3: let's say, using it's guys a little bit higher, he's
Speaker 3: not going to make it.
Speaker 4: Bacting.
Speaker 3: That's osel too. They talk about a position that it's scarce.
Speaker 3: I think second base is worse than third base by
Speaker 3: a lot. And something I talked about in the article
Speaker 3: that I wrote for Fantasypros dot com.
Speaker 1: I want you to take a shot.
Speaker 6: Everybody everything references take it. Take a shot, and guess what.
Speaker 6: We're all on the floor by the end of the draft.
Speaker 3: Take my boy, which I wrote an article about, on
Speaker 3: the floor.
Speaker 5: During your draft.
Speaker 2: So I say, well, she's the hardest working man in
Speaker 2: Fantasy Pros. We gonna step up our game er, you know, Okay,
Speaker 2: geez uh. Normally I typically don't go pushing for the
Speaker 2: picture of this early Welsh knows this. But the guy
Speaker 2: that I want the most is still out there. So
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go ahead and take Spencer Schreider off the board.
Speaker 2: You're gonna go pound the outfield some more. Here two
Speaker 2: guys still on the board there for me, Randy Rose
Speaker 2: Arena out there, Luis Robert out there, two guys, and
Speaker 2: I'm very very high on I'm a little light in
Speaker 2: the stone bases right now, I feel like potentially, so
Speaker 2: I'm gonna give that slight lean over to a rose Arena,
Speaker 2: even though I'm gonna lose some of the batting average.
Speaker 2: But I have pretty good BA there with Laddie, So
Speaker 2: I think we're gonna go ahead and take a Rose
Speaker 2: Raine and gets no.
Speaker 1: Stone bases, and uh, I guess that might have been
Speaker 1: the guy. And I'm gonna write an article about this.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Ozzy Albi's goes next at four h two, Marcus
Speaker 2: Simmia four roh three, no one earn out of four
Speaker 2: oh four, and angry Justin Mason at four oh five.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, that one that really hurts at stake because
Speaker 3: that's who I would have taken in the third round
Speaker 3: overall to day, but I just assumed he'd make it
Speaker 3: back me never fear. When Justin Mason is on a podcast,
Speaker 3: he talks about Cedric Mullens.
Speaker 4: So Cedric Mullins is the next pick. He's got the speed,
Speaker 4: he leads off. He is that fill in for Rosarina
Speaker 4: for me.
Speaker 2: Okay, so Cedric Mullins is certainly a good pivot. There
Speaker 2: can't throw Justin Mason off. He's always on his game.
Speaker 2: Aaron Nola goes a four h six Shy mcclannan four
Speaker 2: oh seven oh and Edwin Diaz right before the Welsh.
Speaker 2: Now four oh nine Welsh. It's time to regroup and
Speaker 2: make a pick here forty seconds on the clock.
Speaker 5: With Danahan hurt me.
Speaker 6: That was where I was gonna go. He's at the
Speaker 6: top of my list. He's a top five sp for me.
Speaker 6: I love everything that he's changed this year. I don't
Speaker 6: worry about the injuries. I love the change up, but
Speaker 6: I hate not having him on my team. I probably
Speaker 6: would have pivoted to Edwin Diaz. I got two guys
Speaker 6: that I don't mean to do this, especially in a
Speaker 6: roto format, but it's ten team. There are elite hitters here,
Speaker 6: and I'm gonna go with Jazz Chisholm, and then I'm
Speaker 6: gonna hope that Corey Seeger is gonna pop back and
Speaker 6: then I'm gonna have gone five straight rounds in hitting,
Speaker 6: which really really, by the way, shows the change in
Speaker 6: what's happened with the pitching overall. But he didn't go,
Speaker 6: so Manuel Classe and Matt Olsen just went on the turn.
Speaker 6: I really do hate passing up pitching in this point,
Speaker 6: and shortstop is pretty deep, but Corey Seeker is just
Speaker 6: too hard for me to pass up here. So I
Speaker 6: have an entire infield locked in Pete Lonzo Jazz Chism,
Speaker 6: Corey Singer, Devers, and Ronald d'acunya. I'm gonna have to
Speaker 6: start thinking about pitching pretty hard in these next couple rounds.
Speaker 2: Well, you know, but you have that leeway. I'm surprised
Speaker 2: that I went for Strida. If it wasn't Strider, I
Speaker 2: don't think I would have bucked my pitching trend. I
Speaker 2: was pretty set on just locking in my hitting for
Speaker 2: the first four rounds or so. But you know, I'd
Speaker 2: have done it if he came back to me one final.
Speaker 2: And I think that's again part of knowing who I'm
Speaker 2: drafting with. And you have to know that Kevin Gosman
Speaker 2: goes at five, ZHO three, Dylan Cease at five oh four,
Speaker 2: justin Verlanders. So a little pitching run here justin Mason.
Speaker 2: Are you going to continue it at five o six?
Speaker 4: I wasn't planning on.
Speaker 3: I was planning on doing kind of what the Welsh
Speaker 3: is doing, which was not take a starting pitcher in
Speaker 3: my first five picks. But I just feel like Brandon
Speaker 3: Woodruff is too good of a value at this point.
Speaker 3: I have him as a top five pitcher this year,
Speaker 3: so pat are getting him in the fifth round after
Speaker 3: I've already loaded up on heels like a steal.
Speaker 2: Everything is coming up Millhouse for me because Louis Robert
Speaker 2: is still on the board, so I'm loving this. I
Speaker 2: almost took him in the last round. Now he's still
Speaker 2: around for me. I think the projections are way too
Speaker 2: low on him. We gotta get arial Cone on the
Speaker 2: phone and see what the real projections are after wood
Speaker 2: or if Bryce Harper goes at five oh seven, which
Speaker 2: is nuts five eight, sureser Urius at five oh nine,
Speaker 2: this is perfect. So Robert, come to me, my friend,
Speaker 2: come hang out. And then I've got a choice here
Speaker 2: do I start looking at closers because Josh Hater's on
Speaker 2: the board. That's a thought I really like Carlos Rodon
Speaker 2: though as well with the Yankees. So I'm gonna go
Speaker 2: ahead and get another starting pitcher. So I got Strider, Rodin,
Speaker 2: Robert Rose, Reina Trout, and Vlattie starting this team. Gonna
Speaker 2: have to find some more steals, but go ahead.
Speaker 5: Very surprised you took Robert. I don't think I realized
Speaker 5: you're a Robert guy.
Speaker 7: Money on him, long shot, MVP last You're just like,
Speaker 7: you're like ooh Jacob deGrom Byron Buckster and they get
Speaker 7: hurt blah, and then just like Luis Robert, you're just
Speaker 7: so happy.
Speaker 1: Just a boy.
Speaker 2: He's still got a two in front of his first
Speaker 2: one hundred games. Ever, that's fine, He's just a boy.
Speaker 2: Shane Bieber goes next Schwarber cause Zach Wheeler and then
Speaker 2: six oh five, Justin Mason back on the clock with
Speaker 2: thirty seconds.
Speaker 3: I really thought you were gonna might be again by
Speaker 3: taking Josh Hater. But yeah, I thought long ah, yeah, easily,
Speaker 3: a top three closer would not surprise me. If he's
Speaker 3: the number one closer in baseball this year again after
Speaker 3: kind of getting all the off the field stuff worked out,
Speaker 3: So uh, I like Josh Getter a lot as a closer.
Speaker 1: Look.
Speaker 2: If I'm gonna buck my trend and not and go
Speaker 2: early pitching to go early closer too, that's just way
Speaker 2: too off. Joey p Brand like, I can't do that
Speaker 2: and still come do the shows anymore with a straight face.
Speaker 2: Jordan Romano at six oh six, Alec Minoa six oh seven,
Speaker 2: Starling Martee at six eight.
Speaker 1: Nice value. They're Welsh six oh nine, so.
Speaker 5: I definitely would have taken Hayter.
Speaker 6: There's still really good closers on the board, but in
Speaker 6: a ten man league, I feel like I don't I
Speaker 6: don't feel the necessity to reach, especially for a lot
Speaker 6: of these guys at fifteen Team Roto, like, you're gonna
Speaker 6: see me going for Hater and going Freedwin Diez and
Speaker 6: going for a class A would have been someone I
Speaker 6: really would have targeted. I just don't feel that way.
Speaker 6: There are two pictures I really like on the board.
Speaker 6: I don't have any, So I'm gonna lock up Christian Javier,
Speaker 6: which is above the player that the system wanted me
Speaker 6: to take. They wanted me to take Luis Castillo, and
Speaker 6: I'm staring at Luis Castillo, but ooh my guy, Zach
Speaker 6: Gallon is there and I just can't pass up. I'm
Speaker 6: gonna go Gallen and Christian Javier and get my two
Speaker 6: dudes and feel pretty good about it.
Speaker 5: Did I hurt your feelings?
Speaker 1: Justin?
Speaker 3: I have Zach Gallen as a top ten picture, a
Speaker 3: starting picture this year.
Speaker 4: I love Zach Gollan.
Speaker 3: He is on just about every single one of my
Speaker 3: teams so far, And like Joe mentioned, I've already drafted
Speaker 3: like ten teams already this.
Speaker 1: I was gonna say, you did ten today probably.
Speaker 6: I was over at Dimonbacks camp today too, and I
Speaker 6: was like Gallen was there and I was like, oh,
Speaker 6: please throw, please throw, And then it was Madison Bumgardner
Speaker 6: and I was.
Speaker 1: Like, already, watch him take the peak.
Speaker 2: It's always a Bombloja Menez at seven o three atteleast
Speaker 2: Garcia seven oh four, Rutchman seven o five, twenty seconds
Speaker 2: from Mason left at seven oh six.
Speaker 4: I guess I'll take Louise Castillo.
Speaker 2: Perfectly fine consolation prize. Yeah, Carlo's career at seven o seven.
Speaker 2: Devin Williams Alex Bregman almost made it to me. Oh
Speaker 2: I really wanted Bregman. That would have been sweet. I
Speaker 2: really wanted that, but alas it was not meant to be.
Speaker 2: So now I've got to go ahead and take some
Speaker 2: pivots here. Take a look around at what's on the board. Uh,
Speaker 2: you know, I'm not gonna go closer here where he
Speaker 2: said that the suggestions it's telling me Max Freed already
Speaker 2: gone pitcher here, and you Darvish and those kind of guys.
Speaker 2: A lot of closers out there too. But it'said, I'm
Speaker 2: gonna go for some more offense. Is it too early
Speaker 2: to take Cormyn Carrol?
Speaker 1: It is? So I need stolen bases. Let's get some
Speaker 1: help here.
Speaker 5: Such it I'm done. I'm I was trying to hold
Speaker 5: my face and I was trying to be like, yeah,
Speaker 5: maybe it's a little too early. Maybe have Corbyn, you're
Speaker 5: the worst.
Speaker 1: You're the worst.
Speaker 4: I am.
Speaker 1: It's something I've become accustomed to.
Speaker 2: And I still need some more stolen bases, and I
Speaker 2: need some help in the middle infield. So I'll take
Speaker 2: Tommy Edmond two and hopefully that combination will help put
Speaker 2: me over the top of this roto make up for
Speaker 2: some of the lack of stolen bases. And look, Carol's
Speaker 2: got some pop two. So we've talked about in the
Speaker 2: show many many times. Ryan Presley eight oh two, Framber
Speaker 2: is the color of my energy at eight oh three,
Speaker 2: to Oscar Ornandez at eight o four Mason eight oh five,
Speaker 2: forty seven seconds on the clock.
Speaker 3: All right, So I'm gonna lean into my punt batting
Speaker 3: average kind of strategy for a roto league and take
Speaker 3: someone who probably not gonna hit for a great average.
Speaker 3: We don't know he gets the ball really hard. The
Speaker 3: Babbitt could be. We know he's gonna hit a lot
Speaker 3: of home runs, we know he's gonna steal a lot
Speaker 3: of bases. And I'm talking about mister O'Neill Cruz.

Speaker 2: And now back to the action Max free at eight
Speaker 2: oh six you Darvish eight oh seven, Sal Perez Ad
Speaker 2: eight oh eight, Welsh eight oh nine, forty three seconds.
Speaker 6: Oh Kanye with the eight oh eights man. There's a
Speaker 6: great outfielder that's still on the board. But I also
Speaker 6: have an opportunity to double tap closers if I want,
Speaker 6: because I've kind of moved away from it. La la
Speaker 6: la la la, I am I can't. I just don't
Speaker 6: think I'm gonna pass up Springer. I don't care about
Speaker 6: the little injury tag yet We're gonna go Springer. Hopefully
Speaker 6: this guy Dansby Swanson under Jimenez, so I can come back.
Speaker 6: And I like the starting pitchers that are there, and
Speaker 6: there are a few closers that are still on the board.
Speaker 6: I'm gonna lock up a closer even in this ten
Speaker 6: man and I'm gonna go with Ryan Helsley with the Cardinals,
Speaker 6: and that's gonna be my first closer on the port here.
Speaker 1: All right, there you have it.
Speaker 2: After Hellsley goes to Welsh obviously, Swanson and at Menez
Speaker 2: went at a ten and nine oh one. Hellsley, Iglesias, Gunner,
Speaker 2: Henderson I was hoping made it back to me, did not.
Speaker 2: Wander Franco did not make it back to be either.
Speaker 2: Justin Mason at nine oh six.
Speaker 1: You are on the clock.
Speaker 3: Well, when you have the opportunity to stack an offense,
Speaker 3: sometimes you just have to stack the Pittsburgh Pirates offense.
Speaker 3: Until Ryan Reynolds, who just underrated this draft season, I
Speaker 3: think people are downgrading him being on the Pirates. He
Speaker 3: may not even be on the Pirates will come open.
Speaker 3: You could be on the Dodgers or the Yankees for
Speaker 3: all we know. But I actually think the top out
Speaker 3: that Pirates lineup is gonna be pretty decent with Reynolds
Speaker 3: in it. So I like Brian Reynolds a lot.
Speaker 2: All right, So after Reynolds, Musgrove a bray you bogarts.
Speaker 2: Now it is to me looking at some of the
Speaker 2: pitchers that around there too, you can try to bolster
Speaker 2: this rotation of mine a little bit. I've been talking
Speaker 2: a lot about seven renals, so we have to put
Speaker 2: my money where my mouth is.
Speaker 1: An entry on him.
Speaker 2: But Tyler Glass now sell out there as well, So
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go take him first here and then kind
Speaker 2: of take another evaluation on the board. I was hoping
Speaker 2: Henderson would make it to me, but unfortunately he did not.
Speaker 2: Looking around here again at the needs of my team,
Speaker 2: still pretty open there at the shortstop, third base, could
Speaker 2: use some infield help as well outfield. I'm good. I'm
Speaker 2: good on the outfield. We also have two utility spots here. Also,
Speaker 2: still some warm bodies there at shortstop that I think
Speaker 2: are pretty darn good. I think I'm gonna go in
Speaker 2: for the power here. I'm gonna go take Willia Domas
Speaker 2: now might.
Speaker 1: Be a little bit of a reach. Oh didn't give
Speaker 1: me the reach. Look at that the draft wizard didn't
Speaker 1: yell at me for a change. I'm nice. I'm gonna ye.
Speaker 5: You are annoying. I annoy you.
Speaker 6: Are they we should have like a little We need
Speaker 6: a bot. We need annoying Joe bot that we can
Speaker 6: make a part of draft wizard that like somehow you
Speaker 6: can input and it's like if your friends take these
Speaker 6: players annoying.
Speaker 5: Joe Bot comes in.
Speaker 6: And he's like, hey, it's like a South Park, like
Speaker 6: the Canadian Like everybody, I'm wearing my.
Speaker 2: Canada shirt today to be fair, just say, you know,
Speaker 2: to be fair. All right, let's go catch everybody up
Speaker 2: on the draft. Robbie Ray, Felix Matti's the Byron Bucks
Speaker 2: did at ten o four and then tenno five Justin
Speaker 2: Mason with twenty six seconds on the clock.
Speaker 3: Oh, I'm a little bit warm, and I'm gonna try
Speaker 3: to hope that the guy I really want comes back
Speaker 3: around to me. It didn't work out last time, but
Speaker 3: this time it's the Welsh on the turn and not Joe.
Speaker 3: So uh, I'm gonna take Nathaniel Lowe, who's just a
Speaker 3: guy who made some really really good steps and closing
Speaker 3: holes in the top of his swings. So I love
Speaker 3: Nathaniel low It's kind of a good power source.
Speaker 5: What did that mean, By the way, what do you mean?
Speaker 5: I'm on so.
Speaker 6: Locked Your guys gonna be back there because I'm on
Speaker 6: the wild.
Speaker 1: Funny Joe did it last time?
Speaker 4: Joe did it last time. So he trust you more.
Speaker 1: I trust you more.
Speaker 4: We've known each other for longer.
Speaker 1: Sir, Wow, Wow, look at that all right?
Speaker 2: So, Kelly Jansen, Tristan McKenzie, Pasquentino, the Welsh, you are
Speaker 2: up next.
Speaker 1: And just for the record, Lowe is one of my dudes.
Speaker 1: I love that pick, Mason.
Speaker 2: I think these was there a more underrated unhralded twenty
Speaker 2: seven home run season last year than that guy, I
Speaker 2: don't think.
Speaker 1: So.
Speaker 6: Now you guys got some sneaky picks in there. I
Speaker 6: was actually going to I wanted Willia Domas. I was
Speaker 6: gonna lock in one of those first basement because we
Speaker 6: got those utail spots. I can't pass up Tim Anderson here.
Speaker 6: I think it's too good of a value. I was
Speaker 6: already looking at a short stop. We get Camilla Deval
Speaker 6: and Willem Contreras. This is back where I'm a little
Speaker 6: bit torn. I got an sp that I really want,
Speaker 6: and there's a reliever that I really want.
Speaker 5: I'm gonna take the risk.
Speaker 6: I'm gonna take the starting pictures since I've only got two,
Speaker 6: and you're gonna give me George Kirby all day every year.
Speaker 2: So I figured the Kirby pick was coming pretty soon.
Speaker 2: So after Tim Anderson, Camille Deval, William contrerast, then George Kirby,
Speaker 2: Hendrick's Webb, and then Mason's up at eleven oh six.
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, so the guy wanted came back to me.
Speaker 3: It's the guy that I think is gonna have a
Speaker 3: major breakout this year, and that Saya, Suzuki.
Speaker 1: And Welsh loved this.
Speaker 5: That's a great pick.
Speaker 1: He was.
Speaker 3: He was the only player in Major League Baseball in
Speaker 3: the second half last year that at a top twenty
Speaker 3: five barrel percentage and a top twenty five zone contact.
Speaker 3: He's going to break out this year.
Speaker 2: All right, there you have it, Ayes, I definitely need
Speaker 2: to get some sort of saves here, So at least
Speaker 2: I'm gonna take Clay Holmes here. Gave me the reach
Speaker 2: alert seventy one percent chance we would make it back.
Speaker 5: I'm not so sure about that. That's why I was
Speaker 5: considering taking Joe House.
Speaker 1: He ain't making it back to me.
Speaker 2: So looking at my roster right now, so I've got first,
Speaker 2: sick and short locked up. Still looking at third and
Speaker 2: then the corner middle infield spots. Still pretty good on
Speaker 2: the outfield the suggested pick right now is actually a
Speaker 2: guy that I wanted to consider before. So I'm going
Speaker 2: to continue to drive home the Yankees' pitching staff. I
Speaker 2: guess that's what I'm gonna have here. I'll have Holmes,
Speaker 2: I'll have my boy, Carlos Rodon and Luis Severino. So
Speaker 2: there you go, Severino on the team with Tyler O'Neil,
Speaker 2: then Reyese, Hoskins, Logan Gilbert. So the Mariners are gone.
Speaker 2: Justin Mason, he's an old Mariner himself. Twelve oh five,
Speaker 2: you were actually the model for the Gordon's Fisherman. I
Speaker 2: don't think a lot of people knew that.
Speaker 4: It's very, very true.
Speaker 6: Yeah, you're kind of like you're kind of like the
Speaker 6: poster child for modeling two for Fantasy Baseball.
Speaker 1: That's actually say.
Speaker 5: You're a great model. You've always modeled for you.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we now have sold I think five total Justin
Speaker 3: Mason bathing suits. So like you're only seven away from
Speaker 3: doing a calendar, Joe.
Speaker 1: I will get on that right after the show.
Speaker 6: You guys have a Fantasy Pros big meeting, corporate meeting together.
Speaker 6: Maybe you could surprise everybody a little Yeah, Justin Mason
Speaker 6: bathing suit come out right.
Speaker 2: I'm all for that calendar whenever comes out eighteen seconds
Speaker 2: on the clock.
Speaker 3: Oh, I'm gonna I'm gonna take a closers to kind
Speaker 3: of go into this closer run a little bit and
Speaker 3: grab David Bednard just stacking those pirates.
Speaker 1: Great, there you go, man, you love your pirates. I
Speaker 1: love this.
Speaker 2: Stay in ar brand uh Stephen Kuan at twelve oh six.
Speaker 2: I know Welsh is super upset that he can't take
Speaker 2: him twelve oh seven, Kirk Jeremy Pania and the Welsh
Speaker 2: at twelve oh nine.
Speaker 1: Okey doke.
Speaker 6: I got quite a few players, bet I mean Bednar
Speaker 6: was definitely in the like near the top of the
Speaker 6: list if ten teams league. I feel a little bit more
Speaker 6: comfortable with this again with the saves. Even if I'm
Speaker 6: bottom bottom barreling, I'm not too too worried about it.
Speaker 6: I got two outfielders, I've got a couple of util spots.
Speaker 5: I still got to.
Speaker 6: Fill up this offense and only three starting pitchers, which
Speaker 6: is kind of where my conundrum is. So I am
Speaker 6: gonna take one of my starting pictures. We talked a
Speaker 6: lot about yes, he's my impression, but he had one
Speaker 6: of the best, most phenomenal second halves, and if he
Speaker 6: just stops wearing that change up, I think we're gonna
Speaker 6: be elite. Blake Snell into the rotation for my fourth SPU.
Speaker 6: We had Wilson Contreras and then MJ. Melendez, and that
Speaker 6: left pretty much everybody else that I was vying for.
Speaker 6: And I'm looking at the outfield and there's quite a
Speaker 6: few guys that I am locked into. I've I'd be
Speaker 6: okay with this with Jake McCarthy, but you've got Christian
Speaker 6: Yelich's still out there. And we also talked about Taylor
Speaker 6: Ward on the bounce back, and there's a few other
Speaker 6: players here, but we're at pick one twenty two.
Speaker 5: I kind of feel.
Speaker 6: Good about having a little double double on Christian Yelich.
Speaker 6: So I'm gonna lock in Christian Yelich as my third outfielder.
Speaker 6: I think I've take off a lot of the mitigated
Speaker 6: risk that comes with Christian Yelig and if I get
Speaker 6: even the projected fifteen to fifteen, I feel good because
Speaker 6: I don't think Jake McCarthy is going to have the
Speaker 6: power output that most projections do.
Speaker 2: All right, Contrerists Melendez go at the turn. Then you
Speaker 2: took Yelich Santander Goes at thirteen oh three, de La
Speaker 2: Cruz at thirteen oh four, Kershaw thirteen oh five, Justin
Speaker 2: Mason at thirteen oh six.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I feel like I need a third starting pitcher
Speaker 3: to go with the two that I've gotten so far.
Speaker 3: In there's a guy who has been previously a top
Speaker 3: twenty five, top thirty starter before started the year flow
Speaker 3: last year but ended in the second half. He was
Speaker 3: again a top twenty five starter, proving in the first
Speaker 3: half was not age, not degradation and skills, but just
Speaker 3: you know, getting over that injury.
Speaker 4: I'm talking about Lanceln. So yeah, love me some Lancelin.
Speaker 2: One of my sleepers on yesterday's show that we recorded.
Speaker 2: I just you know, the guy was tremendous over his
Speaker 2: last fourteen starts. First seven that as bad as you
Speaker 2: could possibly be. After that, it was all fine. Trevor
Speaker 2: Story at thirteen oh seven, that's a that's a bad
Speaker 2: pick at the bot there. I'll have to scratch that out.
Speaker 2: One hundred Green at thirteen oh eight, CJ Cron at
Speaker 2: thirteen oh nine. Then it comes back to me, Oh goodness, cratious,
Speaker 2: what do I want here. You know, this is the
Speaker 2: point time where you think you just start taking the
Speaker 2: best guys on the board that you feel comfortable with.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go ahead and take Torus because it needs
Speaker 2: some more help in the middle infield. He should not
Speaker 2: still be on the board. So get a price and
Speaker 2: force there. I got a steal with the three claps.
Speaker 2: We love that pick. There you go, Joe Ryan. Next
Speaker 2: up for me. Continue to build that pitching staff out
Speaker 2: as well. So I am now has there.
Speaker 6: Been Has there been a pitcher by the way, Mason
Speaker 6: that has had more love in the last five days
Speaker 6: in Joe Ryan. I feel like it's been the Joe
Speaker 6: Ryan Show. It's so funny, how like there's this turnstyle
Speaker 6: of fantasy analysis that goes on, and like, Joe Ryan
Speaker 6: is the cup right now, the cup of tea that
Speaker 6: everybody wants to sip from.
Speaker 2: Well, let's pause the draft to talk about that for
Speaker 2: a second. Mason, what do you think I know he
Speaker 2: had nick on the other day. His his po ug
Speaker 2: stat on Joe Ryan was four forty eight.
Speaker 1: Does that bother you at all?
Speaker 5: Yeah? Does a four to forty eight plug bother you?
Speaker 4: I have no idea what that means, So.
Speaker 5: What do you mean you don't know that you don't
Speaker 5: know what the plug is.
Speaker 3: I don't know what You're not plugged in. I'm not
Speaker 3: plugged in. I am a lifetime member to Pittreless Plus,
Speaker 3: but I do not know what the plug is.
Speaker 1: My biggest issue with with Mason. Don't feel bad because
Speaker 1: it's not going to make it up. It's not.
Speaker 4: Oh thank god.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we're doing a thing this year where we are.
Speaker 2: We created a statistic called x plug and we wanted
Speaker 2: to see if we could trip up Nick Pollock with
Speaker 2: it yesterday. Now, of course Nick is a true professional,
Speaker 2: so he was not tripped off. He recognized right away
Speaker 2: and he was, you know, giving us crap, And I said,
Speaker 2: you passed the test, so now you get to create
Speaker 2: your own. So he wanted it based off pictureless.
Speaker 1: He thought you might, yeah.
Speaker 6: There's the LVG that was on there and change it
Speaker 6: to plug so we can.
Speaker 2: Still maintain it. So, Mason, you also passed the test.
Speaker 2: So that'll pause real quick. We'll get some of your
Speaker 2: questions in the chat. You now can create a new
Speaker 2: statistic of your own and make one up for our
Speaker 2: next guest on the next show, and I'll look at
Speaker 2: and see who that's going to be in a second.
Speaker 2: So Joe Ryan, think about a stat and at the
Speaker 2: end of the show you can create a new statu
Speaker 2: or you can continue the X plug or the plug
Speaker 2: or some version of that if you want.
Speaker 1: Our next guest is Jason Collette.
Speaker 4: Actually, who's going to be on Oh perfect perfect.
Speaker 2: Think about long and hard Joe Ryan, give us your
Speaker 2: thoughts about him, and I'll unpause this draft.
Speaker 3: I like Joe Ryan a lot. I think the only
Speaker 3: concern is with his fly ball percentage. If we get
Speaker 3: a live ball this year, if everybody gets the Goldilocks balls,
Speaker 3: how many of those balls are going to go out
Speaker 3: with the park?
Speaker 4: So that could be a real big issue for him.
Speaker 3: Let's see, Oh, it starts in fifteen seconds, so I
Speaker 3: got plenty of time, got plenty of time.
Speaker 2: Also, Brian C in the chat says as Welsh, he
Speaker 2: looks thirty but uses phrases from the eighteen fifties. That's
Speaker 2: because he was on the original Oregon Trail. Why is
Speaker 2: Harper so low, Well, because he's missing three months plus. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I mean that's I'm not touching him near ADP. I
Speaker 2: think it's crazy and the bookish Brian, What is the
Speaker 2: latest you have taken a picture this year?
Speaker 1: Joey p for me.
Speaker 2: Usually I don't go past the fourth. After the fourth round,
Speaker 2: I'm locking in pictures. But again, it was more of
Speaker 2: the specific picture here. But I'm okay, especially in these
Speaker 2: ten teamers, to push that envelope because I really love
Speaker 2: the guys from SP ten to SP thirty, Like that
Speaker 2: range is so much fruit, all right, speaking of delicious fruits.
Speaker 2: I don't know if that transition makes sense, but justin Mason,
Speaker 2: you're back up to make a pick. Christian Walker gone,
Speaker 2: Bassett gone, McCarthy gone. At fourteen oh four, fourteen oh five,
Speaker 2: you are up with twenty three seconds.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm gonna take Taylor Ward. I just feel like
Speaker 3: this is too good a value. I believe in what
Speaker 3: we saw in the second half or when he was
Speaker 3: healthy last year.
Speaker 4: So I'm a big fan of Taylor Ward this year.
Speaker 2: Max Munsey goes next. Nick Casti I was at fourteen
Speaker 2: oh seven. I thought he would last a little longer.
Speaker 2: I like him on the bounce back fourteen oh eight.
Speaker 2: Sean Murphy Chris Welsh fourteen oh nine.
Speaker 1: What do you got?
Speaker 6: I gotta tell you that comment. I when I read
Speaker 6: that comment live of I look in my thirties, but
Speaker 6: I absolutely died.
Speaker 5: That got me.
Speaker 6: That was a good one, and I appreciate someone saying
Speaker 6: that I look in my thirdie still because that's.
Speaker 1: Were of the old timey sayings.
Speaker 6: You were saying, I'm not like every about airy Sash
Speaker 6: Parrell air.
Speaker 1: Isn't that nice? Sest bro. I got my mock draft that.
Speaker 5: About that prohibition everybody. I don't know.
Speaker 1: All right?
Speaker 5: That actually completely distracted me.
Speaker 6: One of my I've lost my train of thought on
Speaker 6: the whole thing. One of my pictures that is near
Speaker 6: the top one hundred over, I think is a fantastic
Speaker 6: value here. It's Nicolodola with the reds. I love Nikolado.
Speaker 6: I've talked a lot about the curve ball forty six
Speaker 6: percent wiff rate. I liken that. I think he can
Speaker 6: even be better than what Hunter Green is, and Hunter
Speaker 6: Green's a big candidate to bust out. Chris Bryant went
Speaker 6: for the next pick and then could tell Marte and
Speaker 6: I was looking a long heart at Chris Bryant.
Speaker 5: I wouldn't have minded that.
Speaker 6: I think what I'm gonna do here, I've got a
Speaker 6: couple of pictures. I want to get another reliever. This
Speaker 6: isn't the best reliever reliever, but Daniel Bard still gets saves,
Speaker 6: and that's a little bit of a constant. So I'm
Speaker 6: gonna take Daniel Bard, even though I really like a
Speaker 6: few other speculative guys. But I'm trying to win this
Speaker 6: mock fellas.
Speaker 1: Okay, trying to win the mock.
Speaker 2: Stanton goes after Buard could tell Marte and Chris Bryant,
Speaker 2: by the way, went the term before in between Welsh's
Speaker 2: picks stand at fifteen oh three, then Freddy praul to
Speaker 2: at fifteen oh four, and the Fear of God was
Speaker 2: putting us yesterday by Nick Pollock on that show. Go
Speaker 2: check it out about Freddy pearl to the shoulder Ian
Speaker 2: happ at fifteen oh five, and Justin Mason up next
Speaker 2: with the next big You.
Speaker 3: Know, there's a picture that a lot of people are
Speaker 3: scared of because of injuries in similar ways to like
Speaker 3: Freddy Peralta, But I'm not very scared because all his
Speaker 3: injuries last year were really really fluky. That's Chris Sale
Speaker 3: who looked really really good after coming back from Tommy
Speaker 3: John surgery, but miss time with a ribb injury after
Speaker 3: falling off of a bike. I got here with a comebacker.
Speaker 3: I think he's gonna come out and just be electric
Speaker 3: this year. Give me all the shares of Chrysale.
Speaker 1: Okay, all the shares of Chris Sale. You can have them.
Speaker 1: I don't want any of them.
Speaker 2: Scott Barlow at fifteen oh seven, Ahmed Versario with fifteen
Speaker 2: oh eight, Giolito fifteen oh nine, Oh so close. All right,
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go ahead and just look, I'm gonna get
Speaker 2: hammered on this by the Draft Wizard.
Speaker 1: I don't care.
Speaker 2: I'm taking andres Munios, just doing it. I need closer help,
Speaker 2: that's what I need.
Speaker 5: So went there.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, I was worried when.
Speaker 2: You were talking it up. I said, oh no, I'm
Speaker 2: not gonna gonna get him. Uh So, I got my
Speaker 2: fallback plan. It's not gonna project enough. It's gonna hurt
Speaker 2: me in saves on the Draft Wizard. But again, this
Speaker 2: is just projecting into the future. Looking at the suggestions here.
Speaker 2: Ryan Malcastle on the board, decent pick, Charlie Morton. I
Speaker 2: could certainly go there too. Brandon Nimmo also available. He
Speaker 2: helps me in a couple of spots as well, but
Speaker 2: I'm still a little behind on the power, so I'm
Speaker 2: gonna go ahead and take Ryan Malcastle and try to
Speaker 2: get another twenty five on Bronz. I guess what I got,
Speaker 2: the three claps again.
Speaker 1: Hooray.
Speaker 2: Jimmy Dougan told me to avoid those. But here in
Speaker 2: the draft, Wizard, do you want to get them? Ryan
Speaker 2: Mountcastle goes to me, then Corona Worth, Meryfield and Rizzo
Speaker 2: between Mason and myself, Scott Barlow, Ahmed Rosario, Gilito all
Speaker 2: off the board. So after Rizzo at sixteen oh four,
Speaker 2: Mason's up next at sixteen oh five.
Speaker 3: A little touring here, a number of guys I really like,
Speaker 3: but I think I'm gonna go back to the starting
Speaker 3: pitching well and take Jordan Montgomery, who again was fantastic,
Speaker 3: got through Wos, traded to Saint Louis, has the best
Speaker 3: infield defense in the majors behind him, a great park
Speaker 3: to pitch and still good, a great vision a pitch.
Speaker 4: Love Jordan Montgomery this year?
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay Montgomery, followed by Stevenson Jesu's Lozardo great conversation
Speaker 2: yesterday about his ex blog on the show, Tony Gonsol
Speaker 2: in sixteen oh eight. Well you're up at sixteen oh nine.
Speaker 2: Well you are up at sixteen oh nine.
Speaker 1: Can you read?
Speaker 5: I am back? I am back.
Speaker 1: Okay, there you go.
Speaker 5: The whole world stopped.
Speaker 1: The entire whole world stopped. I'll stop the world that
Speaker 1: I'd melt with you. The difference.
Speaker 6: It's getting better all the time. Yeah, all the time,
Speaker 6: my friend. All right, Hopefully that wasn't too awkward.
Speaker 5: I am torn because I.
Speaker 6: Have quite a few players that I want and I
Speaker 6: don't know if I can fit them all in, Joe,
Speaker 6: so we are going.
Speaker 1: To into your team or into me. That was kind
Speaker 1: of scary.
Speaker 2: Second, like, you got ten seconds make a pick before
Speaker 2: it gets awkward.
Speaker 4: I can't.
Speaker 5: I just can't pass up Rowdy to us.
Speaker 6: I'm gonna lock that up with a big power. That
Speaker 6: one's going to hurt me because it's going to take
Speaker 6: someone I really want away. Your Henniel Suarez Alexis Diaz
Speaker 6: went another of the kind of last remaining big closers
Speaker 6: that are on the board.
Speaker 5: As far as pictures go.
Speaker 6: I've got one, two, three for five starting pitchers, two closers.
Speaker 6: I want to shore up a little bit more. And
Speaker 6: there's a couple guys that I really like on here,
Speaker 6: plus another hitter, but I think I can sneak him in.
Speaker 6: I'm gonna go with Charlie Morton, old but assured with
Speaker 6: the strikeouts. Give me Charlie Morton in here, and I
Speaker 6: will cross some fingers that things come my way.
Speaker 1: All right, So old man Morton goes in between.
Speaker 2: You had Suarez and DS off the board seventeen oh three.
Speaker 2: After Welsh takes Morton, you get Fairbanks Andrew Vaughn, one
Speaker 2: of my guys, my sneaky picks. He is off the board,
Speaker 2: and you go Horner off the board seventeen oh six.
Speaker 2: Who's off the board next An onto Mason's team.
Speaker 4: Ooh, I'm really torn on a number of different guys.
Speaker 4: Here's a torn here.
Speaker 1: Everyone's torn up.
Speaker 5: Everyone's really emotion Natalie and bergbay Man very very much.
Speaker 3: This is gonna be a little bit of I think
Speaker 3: it's gonna be a reach to the family to pro software.
Speaker 3: But I really like Jonathan India as a bounce back
Speaker 3: guy this year. I'm gonna hit high up in that
Speaker 3: red line up in that part, really really interesting.
Speaker 4: Got a target at a week position at second base.
Speaker 2: Okay, So after Indie Duran Diaz Nimo, I like that
Speaker 2: pick too. I think Indians a great value there all right,
Speaker 2: seventeen ten looking around the house, seeing what's available here.
Speaker 1: It's telling me to take Seawall.
Speaker 2: But I'm not gonna do that because they've already put
Speaker 2: my money where Munnos is, so I'm not gonna do that.
Speaker 6: Clerk, I'll tell you, Joe, I have been overt rangers
Speaker 6: Camp a whole bunch. Jose Leclerk has worked with all
Speaker 6: the main starters and has been treated very much in
Speaker 6: closer variety over Barlow over there.
Speaker 5: Just if it means anything to anybody.
Speaker 1: If they're curious, it does and not.
Speaker 2: He's one of my fallback closers and that's actually who
Speaker 2: I was lined up, but gave me the reach.
Speaker 1: But that's okay.
Speaker 2: I'm at peace with that. Looking around at what is
Speaker 2: needed continuously on my team. Now, I'm trying to fill
Speaker 2: the rest of the roster spots. I still need a
Speaker 2: third basement, and boy, that third base well does dry up.
Speaker 2: It is gross out there.
Speaker 1: It's terrible.
Speaker 2: You always get to that point of draft where you
Speaker 2: make a pick and you hate it, but because it's Rodo.
Speaker 2: I need more power here too. I'll take the twenty
Speaker 2: nine homers in the A three RBIs or whatever he's
Speaker 2: gonna give me an suffer Matt Chapman's batting average and
Speaker 2: hope for the best here.
Speaker 1: It's gross.
Speaker 2: In a head to head, I would never do this,
Speaker 2: but in Rono, hopefully the ebbs and flows will not
Speaker 2: be too bad. So I'll go ahead, and I got
Speaker 2: a steal, so I'm I'm back in the game here. Polonco, Hannager,
Speaker 2: Renfro starting to think Hanneger and Renfro were becoming one
Speaker 2: person this year, getting that feeling, wellsh I feel like they're.
Speaker 6: Atle bit more powery. Yeah, I mean they might be
Speaker 6: two guys where it's like if they were one guy,
Speaker 6: it would be a monster fantasy asset.
Speaker 1: Yeah. They they might play eighty five games between them
Speaker 1: two Jeff.
Speaker 5: Foo and Hanniger like the same player on the same team.
Speaker 1: Confused, Mason, you're up at eighteen oh five.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think I need a little bit more power too,
Speaker 3: So I'm gonna grab a guy who we know has
Speaker 3: power as any full time role in Cleveland, and that's
Speaker 3: Josh Bell.
Speaker 1: So okay, Josh Bell.
Speaker 2: Next here for Mason. Let's continue on and see what
Speaker 2: comes next, bringing up the board. So after Mason takes Bell,
Speaker 2: then you get Pablo Lopez, another one of my guys,
Speaker 2: Brandon Allow at eighteen oh seven, Louise Arise at eighteen
Speaker 2: oh eight, and then the Wow Shitt eighteen oh nine.
Speaker 6: So my plan has worked. These are my guys. You
Speaker 6: should be able to guess if you listen to anything
Speaker 6: I do anywhere, of the two players that are about
Speaker 6: to come, because they're both available. I don't expect the
Speaker 6: system to love these because they're not quite showing up,
Speaker 6: but I have to have them. And I'm actually gonna
Speaker 6: be sneaky knowing this platform that Jeffrey Springs is much
Speaker 6: higher than the next guy I'm taking. And if you
Speaker 6: don't know I'm taking Lars Newtbar next, then you don't
Speaker 6: know me. As Dustin May and Merle Kelly just went.
Speaker 6: So I am running running to the draft room to
Speaker 6: get my large newbar and I locked up both players,
Speaker 6: and I literally couldn't be happier.
Speaker 4: Now.
Speaker 1: I almost took Springs when I felt it.
Speaker 5: I felt it residently going to and I was like.
Speaker 1: Look, I don't want Welsh to just walk off the show.
Speaker 1: That would just be upset.
Speaker 5: I felt it coming, man.
Speaker 1: It was close.
Speaker 2: Dustin May at eighteen ten, Merle Kelly at nineteen oh one,
Speaker 2: then the newt Bar is open for Welsh at nineteen
Speaker 2: oh two, Luis Garcia nineteen oh three. Verdu Go bright
Speaker 2: like a diamond in his mouth. Boy, that was the
Speaker 2: way to spend your money there, right, Astrat at nineteen
Speaker 2: oh five, and Mason at nineteen oh six. You saw
Speaker 2: those pictures, right, well, she saw the Verdugo.
Speaker 5: And oh yeah, yeah, yeah, girl, Okay, yeah. It was
Speaker 5: a little abrupt how you did that?
Speaker 1: It caught me off guard, very upsetting. Well, it's a
Speaker 1: little abrupt.
Speaker 2: When I saw it on the social media and it
Speaker 2: was a little a little scary, I was like, wow.
Speaker 1: Well look at that. That's a lot. All right, Mason,
Speaker 1: who you got here? Fifteen seconds?
Speaker 3: I'm taking Brady Singer, another one of my guys. I
Speaker 3: like him as a pitcher. I don't know that the
Speaker 3: system's gonna like him as much for me, but I
Speaker 3: think he's going to be a top thirty thirty five
Speaker 3: starter this year.
Speaker 1: Love that pick. I think that's a tremendous pick.
Speaker 2: There By you Justin Mason, beautiful work as always, all right,
Speaker 2: So I got some utility spots here left to put
Speaker 2: out there. You know it's gonna take up solid player.
Speaker 2: Ty France is a solid player. It's a suggestion. I
Speaker 2: like ty France.
Speaker 1: There. Oh, I got another steal on draft Wizard's liking me.
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 2: I feel like I never win the draft. I'm like second, third,
Speaker 2: fourth place. I never win the draft. Don't know if
Speaker 2: it's going to be the winner this this one today
Speaker 2: we shall see. I don't like Alec Bowman. I'm not
Speaker 2: going to go that route there. I do need a catcher.
Speaker 2: I tend to wait on catcher for quite a while.
Speaker 2: But last we are getting towards the nitty and the
Speaker 2: gritty here, as it were, Oscar Gonzalez is out there
Speaker 2: looking around to some other players here, Cabrian Hayes, well,
Speaker 2: not a big fan of the Wells, dried up.
Speaker 1: Boys and girls. I just go ahead and take some
Speaker 1: more steals too. Could do that here with Von Griss
Speaker 1: and that's interesting pick there Coast to take Miranda, Josh Naylor,
Speaker 1: all those guys out there. But I don't know. It's
Speaker 1: so many ways to go. It's only fifteen seconds. Oh,
Speaker 1: the time is going on me. What will I do.
Speaker 1: I'm going to go ahead and I'll.
Speaker 2: Take another picture here and I'll take Garcia and just
Speaker 2: continue to round out that staff here a little bit.
Speaker 2: So give me Garcia and Houston. I don't love that pick.
Speaker 2: I'm not happy about it. I got forced in the
Speaker 2: time who we had him, and I had him in
Speaker 2: the queue and I thought, Okay, he'll make it to
Speaker 2: the next one on me, you know, I thought for Joey, he's.
Speaker 1: Moving up, he is moving up.
Speaker 2: So now I'm mad that Senga goes right after Seawald,
Speaker 2: so he was the one in the back pocket and
Speaker 2: then someone picked my pocket.
Speaker 1: So I'm mad at Team eight.
Speaker 2: Raspisen at twenty oh four, Justin Mason up at twenty
Speaker 2: oh five.
Speaker 3: Well, when you're drafting this point of draft, it's just
Speaker 3: gonna tend team league. What are you shooting for? You
Speaker 3: shooting for upside, shooting for a guy who could just
Speaker 3: absolutely explode. I'll give you first round value this late
Speaker 3: in the draft. There's one guy that can definitely do
Speaker 3: that because he's been a former first round pick.
Speaker 4: That's Cody Bellinger.
Speaker 2: Oh oh, the Cody Bellinger. I'm so mad about code
Speaker 2: I Senger right now. I can't believe he didn't make
Speaker 2: it back to me.
Speaker 1: I'm so mad about that. Oh now, that's that's it.
Speaker 1: That's it. That's where the draft ended.
Speaker 2: By the way, everybody, don't forget if you're watching, I'm
Speaker 2: sure you subscribe to the Fantasy Pro's YouTube channel on MLB,
Speaker 2: and don't forget if you drop a comment here in
Speaker 2: the chat, we're gonna pick somebody lucky to win a
Speaker 2: free upgrade our premium product of Fantasy Pro, so make
Speaker 2: sure you check that out as well. Let's go to
Speaker 2: the next selection on the board. Justin and Mason just
Speaker 2: took Cody Bellinger, then Miranda Lemayhew Drury Welsh up with
Speaker 2: twenty eight seconds and twenty oh nine pick.
Speaker 5: I'm this is not my guy.
Speaker 6: Guys, but we're at one ninety nine and ky Brian
Speaker 6: Hayes has not gone and that's third base stinks and
Speaker 6: I get some stolen bases.
Speaker 5: I'm just not going to pass that up because I.
Speaker 6: Did want Jose, Miranda there, Brios and Molly went right
Speaker 6: after that.
Speaker 1: Woh.
Speaker 6: By the way, system says that was an eighty three
Speaker 6: percent reach. On key Brian Hayes.
Speaker 1: That really wild.
Speaker 6: That sounds broken, that's crazy, that seems broken, that's wild.
Speaker 2: The power projections are very low for him. But look,
Speaker 2: you know it's you stop Justin Mason from taking all
Speaker 2: of the pirates.
Speaker 1: I think that's the only good thing.
Speaker 4: Well, I couldn't afford to take another pirate.
Speaker 2: Legitimately, Jose Burrios, Tyler, Molly Welsh up at twenty one
Speaker 2: oh two.
Speaker 6: Yeah, you talk about upside anytime we're going to start,
Speaker 6: you know, especially looking at pitchers that are rookies, it's
Speaker 6: not gonna help in projections. But this is a bench player.
Speaker 6: Grayson Rodriguez is an absolute steal at two o two
Speaker 6: for if he was going to break camp with that team,
Speaker 6: and I think he can push one hundred and thirty
Speaker 6: hundred and forty innings. And I was talking with you know,
Speaker 6: he know's got him in the top in the forty
Speaker 6: range as far as sp So this is a steel
Speaker 6: steel steel, I think.
Speaker 2: Okay, So after you took Grayson Rodriguez, Vaughan Grissom, who
Speaker 2: I was considering in my last pick at twenty oh three,
Speaker 2: twenty one oh four, excuse me, I like Baueme Walker
Speaker 2: buller A twenty one oh five, Justin Mason twenty one
Speaker 2: oh six. We're into the bench realm now pretty much?
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I mean the only guy who I mean, I guess
Speaker 3: wouldn't be on my bench would be a catcher. And
Speaker 3: I mean, I hate taking a catcher this early in
Speaker 3: a ten team league, but I guess, I guess I'll
Speaker 3: take Danny Jansen, who am really really good at the
Speaker 3: second half last year.
Speaker 2: So yeah, I look, if you aren't going to do it,
Speaker 2: I was John Gray who in my eye on he's gone,
Speaker 2: Harrison's gone off, all the all the Texas Rangers are gone.
Speaker 2: At twenty one ten, I'm still on tilt from the
Speaker 2: code I Sanga thing.
Speaker 4: Guys.
Speaker 5: Honestly, I'm just I could tell I can again, we
Speaker 5: can feel mad.
Speaker 2: I was like, I got this in my back pocket.
Speaker 2: He's still so low in ADP. I guess people must
Speaker 2: be listening to the show Welsh. That's all I can
Speaker 2: think of. Red Debt Meers will be on my team.
Speaker 2: I will take him for some pitching depths, and that
Speaker 2: was my backup plan.
Speaker 1: So I have to pivot there.
Speaker 2: Okay, now looking around, what the suggestion is Oscar Gonzales.
Speaker 2: It gives me a little bit of everything. That's the
Speaker 2: highest guy on the board. So I'm going to listen
Speaker 2: to the draft wizard and see if that helps me.
Speaker 4: Here.
Speaker 1: Oh, I got another steal. That's a lot of steels, Welsh.
Speaker 2: I have never gotten this many positive reactions ever from
Speaker 2: the draft Wizard.
Speaker 5: It might be, oh, just a draft wizard.
Speaker 1: You may not in life.
Speaker 2: Life forget, however, Travis Darnault at twenty two oh two,
Speaker 2: and then we have Phillips Heeney Justin Mason at twenty
Speaker 2: two oh five.
Speaker 3: All right, so I was saying, you should shoot for upside.
Speaker 3: But what I need right now some ratio stabilization, and
Speaker 3: really get that. You get that from Miles Nicholas again
Speaker 3: on the Cardinals, getting that great defense behind him. Not
Speaker 3: gonna give a lot of strikeouts, but he's gonna give
Speaker 3: you wins, and he's gonna give you good ratio help.
Speaker 2: All right, So help with the ratios is on its way.
Speaker 2: Schreiber Bader Rogers goes next, Welsh at twenty two oh nine.
Speaker 5: You're up.
Speaker 6: Well, there's not a lot of good players left. That's
Speaker 6: the bad news for everybody. Most of the players that
Speaker 6: are good, they.
Speaker 5: Are far gone.
Speaker 6: So we're having to play a little bit of a
Speaker 6: reaching game here, and.
Speaker 5: I've got I have a util spot.
Speaker 6: I gotta catch you guys kind of ruin the catching
Speaker 6: anything I could do sneaky with the catching spot, unfortunately,
Speaker 6: so I can't play around with that. I think I'm
Speaker 6: gonna go with This might be a little of a
Speaker 6: Homer pick, but he has a couple of position qualifications
Speaker 6: stolen bases near twenty at util.
Speaker 5: I'm gonna go with.
Speaker 6: Josh Rojas is one of my picks here. And then
Speaker 6: we have Lance McCullers and Tyler Anderson is in there,
Speaker 6: and then it comes back to me for just another
Speaker 6: group of not good players, like what happened? This is
Speaker 6: a ten team league? Where have all the good players
Speaker 6: and the cowboys gone friends? Because I don't see them.
Speaker 2: I don't know even a ten team league. And it's
Speaker 2: kind of crazy how that drop off is there this year.
Speaker 2: And we can only hope that the shift and you know,
Speaker 2: some of the other changes and some of these younger
Speaker 2: players a little bit more time in the big leagues,
Speaker 2: like that offense kind of rejuvenates in twenty twenty three,
Speaker 2: because if you're just looking at projection wise.
Speaker 1: It's kind of sour.
Speaker 5: It's a little bit. It's a little bit, all right.
Speaker 6: I kind of want to thinking about starting to get
Speaker 6: tricky around here. But I think there's a pretty good
Speaker 6: value on the board still at pitcher, and this can
Speaker 6: be another bench pitcher. I'm gonna go with Patrick Sandoval.
Speaker 6: I'm gonna lock in with the Angels.
Speaker 4: I think it's a.
Speaker 6: Pretty good upside, especially outside the top two hundred and
Speaker 6: I finally got some clappity claps with a seal, so
Speaker 6: Fantasy is very happy with me.
Speaker 1: Thank you, clappity claps for Welsh everybody.
Speaker 2: Joey Manes is at twenty three to oh three, Montas four,
Speaker 2: Pore Lopez next, Justin Mason at twenty three oh six.
Speaker 4: A little torn on what to do here.
Speaker 5: Name me one good player, Justin, Name me one good
Speaker 5: player that you.
Speaker 4: Well, you gotta remember.
Speaker 3: I'm used to I'm used to like fifteen, teen to
Speaker 3: fifty round drafted holds right now. So everybody looks good
Speaker 3: to me. These guys actually still play, so it's a
Speaker 3: different thing. I'm gonna take a guy that I don't
Speaker 3: think I've taken much this year. Oh you know, Actually, no,
Speaker 3: I'm not. I'm gonna go I'm gonna take another starting pitcher.
Speaker 3: I'm just gonna pretty much clean sweep the Cardinals rotation
Speaker 3: and take Jack Flaherty go get huge upside if he's healthy,
Speaker 3: could be a top twenty five starting pitcher.
Speaker 1: Do you think Flaherty is that guy?
Speaker 4: This?
Speaker 7: Like?
Speaker 1: Is that a risk that you are going to take?
Speaker 1: In some leagues on Floerting?
Speaker 3: Uh, yeah, I've taken it a few times because it's
Speaker 3: going so late. Like it's just you know, it's a
Speaker 3: it's a worthy gamble. You just can't take a lot
Speaker 3: of risks, right, so you got to kind of pick
Speaker 3: and choose the ones you're willing to take, all.
Speaker 2: Right, So Kybert Ruiz goes next, then Hughes Turner up
Speaker 2: to me. I'm gonna go ahead and take Aidy Martinez Caauz.
Speaker 2: He shouldn't be on the board anymore.
Speaker 4: That's who I was gonna take too.
Speaker 1: Ah, some other interesting guy.
Speaker 2: You know, I still light on safe, so I'll go
Speaker 2: ahead and take Finn again and just kind of Grinn
Speaker 2: and Barrett here Cabrera, McMahon, Martin Perez, Justin Mason at
Speaker 2: twenty four five as we're getting to the nitty gritty here.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, I think I need another closer as well.
Speaker 3: So I'm trying to decide between which of the two
Speaker 3: guys I want to take. I think I'm gonna go
Speaker 3: with Alex Lang. I'm pretty sure he's gonna get the
Speaker 3: job there in Detroit. He's got the best skills of
Speaker 3: the guys left in that bullpen. So Alex Slang decent,
Speaker 3: like you know, third closer.
Speaker 2: Okay, looking next here for you the Welsh. As I
Speaker 2: continue to move on, we have Lang than Guriel Jonaheim
Speaker 2: as we like to call him here on the show,
Speaker 2: Alex Cobb and the Welsh at twenty four or.
Speaker 5: Nine h Jonaheim.
Speaker 6: So I've definitely I don't care about the projections here
Speaker 6: though they're they're relatively favorable. And I started to get
Speaker 6: worried because this guy started to pop up and he
Speaker 6: started to show his face and.
Speaker 5: I did not want that to happen on here, and
Speaker 5: that is Oh did he go?
Speaker 6: Is that gonna screw me? Everything just got weird here.
Speaker 6: I am looking for Miguel Vargas.
Speaker 4: There he is.
Speaker 6: I don't know why he didn't go on my queue
Speaker 6: here Miguel Vargas a little bit lower as far as
Speaker 6: like lift goes, but he's gonna have that second base job.
Speaker 6: Projections are not nuts, hairline fracture and the pinky not
Speaker 6: worried about it because he could play this weekend. Give
Speaker 6: me Miguel Vargas as a bench bat. That is the
Speaker 6: best way you could approach one of those guys. And
Speaker 6: then then Bauer go and then back to you at
Speaker 6: twenty five two.
Speaker 5: Yep, and coming back here. Things are not easy in
Speaker 5: other world, shoe. Things don't come.
Speaker 4: Easy to us.
Speaker 6: There's still a bat to be had. I don't have
Speaker 6: a catcher, and I've already got two bench two bitch
Speaker 6: starting pitchers here.
Speaker 5: Gosh, I hate all these players.
Speaker 6: I'm gonna just lock this in, not that it even matters,
Speaker 6: but I'm gonna get my catcher. I'm gonna get yas money,
Speaker 6: grand doll. I actually saw Gabriel Marino today, But Carson
Speaker 6: Kelly is still their kind of big catcher that they're
Speaker 6: working with. He was working with everybody as he's gonna
Speaker 6: be out there, but he's not gonna be the number
Speaker 6: one catcher. So yes, miney Grendel is the next best.
Speaker 6: I really really got.
Speaker 5: Kind of screwed on Catcher. I did it to myself being.
Speaker 2: Like, oh yeah, I did it to myself as well.
Speaker 1: I was gonna take Jansen when Mason took him, but
Speaker 1: and then.
Speaker 2: After that, I was like, well it's gone now, so
Speaker 2: I'm just gonna let it go. Josh Young, great pick
Speaker 2: there at twenty five oh three, Love that Ashby at
Speaker 2: twenty five oh four, Shawman, Andy Ah twenty four five,
Speaker 2: The Reclamation Project Justin Mason twenty five oh six.
Speaker 1: You're up.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think I'm just gonna go with the guy
Speaker 3: who's gonna best help my chances it beating you guys
Speaker 3: in this draft, which I don't know if that's gonna
Speaker 3: happen or not. But fanasy pros recommending, have you have
Speaker 3: your bias? You know, another one of those punt batting
Speaker 3: average kind of guys. I don't care about the batting average,
Speaker 3: but he'll give you everything else.
Speaker 4: So have you bias, my dude, Raider.
Speaker 1: All right, So bias is the next guy there? All right?
Speaker 2: So I have to finally and Barrett and take a
Speaker 2: Catcher here. Gosh, not a fan of any of these
Speaker 2: guys that are still out there. What do you think, well,
Speaker 2: I mean now you I mean Moreno, I know wasn't
Speaker 2: gonna help me win this draft. So to speak from
Speaker 2: a projection standpoint, SHA's the guy in Oakland, but it's
Speaker 2: telling me Christian Vasquez. So I'm just gonna go ahead
Speaker 2: and take the Christian Baskut was the guy that I've
Speaker 2: had in the past many many times. And it's fine.
Speaker 2: I'll go ahead and just throw Josh Nayler on the
Speaker 2: bench to there, just another bat here, and we'll see
Speaker 2: what unfolds. Melanson Suarez, Jordan Walker goes at twenty six
Speaker 2: oh four, Mason at twenty six five, your final pick.
Speaker 3: All right, I don't I don't think this guy is
Speaker 3: necessarily gonna help me win.
Speaker 4: Oh except for did he just go a? Is the question?
Speaker 1: I know.
Speaker 5: I had that with migl Vigus, like did he ego?
Speaker 4: He did? I just got just got sniped on Jordan
Speaker 4: Walker right before.
Speaker 5: Yeah, great pick, there you go by Robot.
Speaker 4: Yes, stupid robot. All right, No, I have no idea
Speaker 4: what to do?
Speaker 1: What about it? I did all these fifty player drafting,
Speaker 1: the players.
Speaker 5: Just so good.
Speaker 3: All right, Well, I guess I could just like, you know,
Speaker 3: take like the best player left on the board.
Speaker 4: Right now, and that is somebody.
Speaker 3: I'm take Riley Green. Here's another upside pick. Uh, you know,
Speaker 3: like I don't know that he's gonna take a huge
Speaker 3: mass of stuff forward, but he could and I could
Speaker 3: win the draft, could.
Speaker 2: Win the draft and and the hearts and minds of
Speaker 2: the people. Sonny Gray goes next. Go ahead, Welsh, you're
Speaker 2: up for that last pick there.
Speaker 5: I decided to go with Indre beIN and Tendee.
Speaker 6: That was actually a little bit of a play to
Speaker 6: try to help my projections. I was watching some of
Speaker 6: the categories on Fantasy Bros. Cool thing you can do
Speaker 6: when you do the drafts. If you click over categories,
Speaker 6: you can watch it go. I was dominating hitting. Then
Speaker 6: I went pitching heavy, pitching up. My hitting started to
Speaker 6: come down.
Speaker 1: I did.
Speaker 6: They don't like it, guys. I don't think I'm gonna
Speaker 6: get a very good grade this one, which I actually
Speaker 6: really like this team.
Speaker 1: I'm ad eighty six out of one hundred, So would
Speaker 1: they give you?
Speaker 5: I got an eighty out of one hundred because I
Speaker 5: really fell off. I punted. I punted batting average. Essentially.
Speaker 6: I think I was like the second to whatever worst here,
Speaker 6: and I was unfortunately beat by you. And it is
Speaker 6: a Travis DJO when we talk about what just happened
Speaker 6: with Justin Mason too.
Speaker 2: Justin Mason almost broke the Wizard ninety nine number one.
Speaker 2: That good?
Speaker 4: Is that good? Pretty good?
Speaker 1: It's pretty good. Mason's good, very good.
Speaker 2: All of your all of your experience and your many,
Speaker 2: many deep hundred player leagues is shown here, which is
Speaker 2: why we wanted you on the show.
Speaker 1: We wanted you to show everybody the way to do it.
Speaker 5: So tell us the second aipot, by the way, he's
Speaker 5: like an.
Speaker 2: Let your draft the most to by the way, more
Speaker 2: than any other expert who was that.
Speaker 1: I'm just out of curiousity.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna guess it was Justin Mason. No, Josh Shepherd
Speaker 3: of Shepherdson of Fantasy Pros.
Speaker 4: Right there you go.
Speaker 3: I'm surprised that Justin Mason of Fantasy Pros doesn't like
Speaker 3: it the most. That seems a little weird, But yeah, no,
Speaker 3: I like it a lot. I you know, I play
Speaker 3: these games to win, and clearly I have won this game.
Speaker 1: You clearly had ninety nine about as good as it gets.
Speaker 2: I gotta say, I like my roster quite a bit
Speaker 2: the way it all panned out. Senga is the one
Speaker 2: thing that got away from me.
Speaker 1: Other than that, I'm happy.
Speaker 2: Thumbs up I get from Ariel Cohen and Pat fitz Morris,
Speaker 2: so there you go. Thumbs down from Scott White. Of course,
Speaker 2: Kelly Kirby hates my draft, she always does. I respect
Speaker 2: Kelly for the wonky penguin always hating my draft. Welsh
Speaker 2: who liked your draft and disliked you.
Speaker 6: My number one hater was also Kelly, Kelly just absolutely
Speaker 6: hating on it. The number one like was Jason Keamlowski
Speaker 6: with Fantasy Pros. He liked mine the most, and Kelly
Speaker 6: so Fantasy Pros loved and hated mine the most. And
Speaker 6: again I would tell you I ended up hitting positionally.
Speaker 6: I was fourth in hitting and seventh in pitching, so
Speaker 6: it really kind of went back and forth. Regardless of it.
Speaker 6: In a ten team league, I really like the construction
Speaker 6: of this team. I have power, I've got great stolen bases.
Speaker 6: I love the pitching. Maybe I needed to take one
Speaker 6: more closer, but in ten men you just have you
Speaker 6: have so much more flexibility. Funny enough, I gave you
Speaker 6: crap about Luis Robert what if I had drafted Louis
Speaker 6: Robert at five to two and drafted a short stop
Speaker 6: later instead of Corey Seeger. It says my score would
Speaker 6: have been significantly higher.
Speaker 2: Joe, Yes, Well, reminding everybody too, don't forget. We're not
Speaker 2: doing it today, but you want to get a chance
Speaker 2: to get a premium upgrade, so you can see a
Speaker 2: lot of the tools here on the Draft Wizard. Make
Speaker 2: sure you drop a comment below for that one year
Speaker 2: premium upgrade here at Fantasy Pros. And don't forget if
Speaker 2: you're playing on multiple platforms, you can set all of
Speaker 2: your lineups in one spot on Fantasy Pros. So if
Speaker 2: you got an NFBC team, you got a fan Tracks team,
Speaker 2: you got a team CBS, and there and here, one
Speaker 2: stop shopping. You don't have to go from app to app.
Speaker 2: You just need Fantasy Pros. It is a time saver,
Speaker 2: it is a life saver.
Speaker 1: It's great.
Speaker 2: You can also see all the free agent wires too,
Speaker 2: so our tools are better than anybody out there. So
Speaker 2: if you haven't gotten familiar with them, get to know them.
Speaker 2: Let's get to know Justin Mason's team too. See what
Speaker 2: perfection looks like because ninety nine. I mean, that's about
Speaker 2: as goods against Danny Jansen a catcher, Nathaniel Lowe, my
Speaker 2: dude at first base, Al Twove at second, O'Neil Cruz,
Speaker 2: it's short Manny Machado, Josh Bell, Jonathan India, Cedric Mullens,
Speaker 2: Brian Reynolds, says Uzuki and Taylor Ward. You know what's
Speaker 2: funny about this offense. It doesn't necessarily jump out at
Speaker 2: you and saying this is like, you know what I mean, Like,
Speaker 2: it's not like, oh my god, like this it's bangers.
Speaker 2: It's a lot of guys that just kind of get
Speaker 2: the job done, like the Cedric Mullins, the lunch Pale
Speaker 2: kind of Brian Reynolds guys, which I think is fascinating
Speaker 2: that it shows you, like, just try to get a
Speaker 2: good player at every spot and you're gonna have a
Speaker 2: good team. You have Javier Bayaz, Riley Green. Of course,
Speaker 2: Joel Tani he's pretty good. I'm sure that has something
Speaker 2: to do with getting a good Gray too. Two players
Speaker 2: in one does not hurt Brandon Woodruff, Josh Hater, Luis Castillo, Bedner,
Speaker 2: lance Lynn, Chris Sale, Jordan Montgomery, Brady Singer, Cody Bellinger
Speaker 2: on the bench with Mikolas Flaherty and Lang.
Speaker 1: What are your thoughts on this roster here?
Speaker 3: I mean, I love this roster. You know who doesn't
Speaker 3: like this roster is Joe Pizzapias. Gave me a thumbs down.
Speaker 3: You know what I love about this kind of team
Speaker 3: and like you said, doesn't like like scream of star
Speaker 3: power or like guys with like really big carrying tools
Speaker 3: and fantasy. That's sometimes how you want to build a roster.
Speaker 3: You stay balanced all the way through. In that way,
Speaker 3: if you lose one guy, it's not a massive hit
Speaker 3: to one category, right And this also kind of shows you, hey,
Speaker 3: punting batting average can work. I didn't finish last in
Speaker 3: the in the category, but I was able to load
Speaker 3: up all the other categories. Every single one of my
Speaker 3: hitting categories other than average was top three.
Speaker 4: It propelled me to the victory right here.
Speaker 1: There you go.
Speaker 2: Well, she has Manti Grondel, Alonzo Chisholm, Corey, Seeger Devers,
Speaker 2: t Les, Tim Anderson, Ronald, Acunya, Springer, Yelich, the New Tabar,
Speaker 2: Cabrian Hayes, Benintendo. You do have some more star power obviously,
Speaker 2: Acunya Devers, chisholm Alonzo. That's some big star power there,
Speaker 2: Christian Haaveer and Rotation along with Gallon, Hellsley, Uh, Kirby Blake,
Speaker 2: Snail Lodolo, Charlie Morton, Daniel bar Jeffrey Springs, Grace and
Speaker 2: Rodriguez and on the bench Sandoval, I'm sorry, Rodriguez on
Speaker 2: the bench with Sandoval, Rojas and Vargas. So how do
Speaker 2: you feel about this roster? Looking back on it looks
Speaker 2: pretty solid. This seems like a Welsh team to me.
Speaker 1: And it seems like Welsh is on mute because he
Speaker 1: is a professional here.
Speaker 5: I am on percent on mute, yep, one hundred percent.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 6: Did you know I wrote an article about not putting
Speaker 6: yourself on here. It's coming up on Fantasy Pros really soon.
Speaker 5: I do a video too.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 6: No, this is one hundred percent of me. Team projections
Speaker 6: are not gonna play like super nice with rookies sometimes,
Speaker 6: and I do have to Miguel Vargus and Grace ro Onriguez,
Speaker 6: but they're on the bench. It's exactly what you want
Speaker 6: to do. Also, it is a little bit tougher in
Speaker 6: a roto format. This is always with mock drafts. You
Speaker 6: want to experiment, you should experiment with different draft strategies.
Speaker 6: I didn't take a starting picture until the fifth push
Speaker 6: comes to shove. That's really not necessarily what I'm going
Speaker 6: to do. But then the ten team, I feel like
Speaker 6: I have more flexibility. I think Christian Javier has a
Speaker 6: lot more upside. I think Nick was on here saying
Speaker 6: Javier was this year's Strider and then Hunter Green was
Speaker 6: this year's Christian Javier. I love Jeffrey Springs. I love
Speaker 6: Newt bar which is not necessarily on the rest of
Speaker 6: the crew here, so I don't have a lot of holes.
Speaker 6: The catcher things stunk, A stupid crappy catcher that really
Speaker 6: really stinks. But overall, I really like what I did,
Speaker 6: especially with pushing my pitching back a bit. Blake Snell
Speaker 6: and Nicolodolo at like three four SP that's pretty ideal.
Speaker 6: But you know, I'm gonna lack in the starting pitcher
Speaker 6: department because I waited, But yeah, sign me up.
Speaker 5: Even though I got an eighty grade, I.
Speaker 2: Gotta say, I mean, I got eighty six. But I
Speaker 2: like this team. Vasquez. Obviously, I'm hurting a catcher, but
Speaker 2: that's the catcher who cares Vlad Guerrero Junior, Tommy Edmund
Speaker 2: I got my stolen bases there in the rodo for Man,
Speaker 2: William Damas got some power there, Chapman again power. It's empty,
Speaker 2: but it's season long roto, so it doesn't matter wherever
Speaker 2: he ebbs and flows, Ryan Mountcastle Labor Corp. Is my
Speaker 2: trout A Rosa Rain or Robert and Carroll Holy cowwell,
Speaker 2: I love this outfield trout Rosa Rain and Robert and Carrol.
Speaker 2: I'll go to war with that any day. Jad Martinez
Speaker 2: and Ty France and the utility spots. I like this
Speaker 2: rotation too. Spencer Strider, Carlos Rodan, Glass, now, Severino Holmes,
Speaker 2: Ryan and then Munos Garcia La Clerk on the bench
Speaker 2: is Oscar Gonzalez, Nailor Debt Mers and Finnegan Mason.
Speaker 1: What do you think of that pitching.
Speaker 2: Staff here where I got the two Yankees and Rodn
Speaker 2: and Severino, Joe, Ryan Glass Now and Spencer Stryder.
Speaker 1: What are your thoughts on this group?
Speaker 3: My only issue with that group is the injury risk
Speaker 3: that's kind of inherent in it. With Glass now, Severino Rodan,
Speaker 3: I like Severino Rodon a lot.
Speaker 4: I'm not in on the Tyler Glass now I love.
Speaker 3: I feel like he's gonna be one of these guys
Speaker 3: that is going to be going way too high. As
Speaker 3: we start getting into some of these bigger money in
Speaker 3: home league drafts that happen in March, people are realizing
Speaker 3: like or seeing the upside and not remembering dude has
Speaker 3: never thrown one hundred and thirty innings at the major
Speaker 3: league level in a season, and he's now coming off
Speaker 3: a season where threw like six innings. I don't want
Speaker 3: to anything to do with Tyler Glass.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Glass Night.
Speaker 2: I was one of those guys that I typically don't
Speaker 2: go for, but I went for the upside there because
Speaker 2: I liked how the pitchon was there already and I
Speaker 2: didn't have to rely on him as my number two
Speaker 2: guys my three. I'm a little more looking forward to that.
Speaker 2: I hope everyone's looking forward to to this weekend because
