1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:04,280
Speaker 1: Let's win some leagues. Let's talk to the pros. Welcome

2
00:00:04,280 --> 00:00:07,240
Speaker 1: in everybody to Fantasy Pros. This is the Fantasy Baseball Podcast.

3
00:00:07,240 --> 00:00:09,559
Speaker 1: It is B Joey, b Joe Pi Zapia, and today

4
00:00:09,760 --> 00:00:11,680
Speaker 1: we're going to take a look at league winners that's

5
00:00:11,800 --> 00:00:15,120
Speaker 1: right outside the top one hundred eightyp Because of course,

6
00:00:15,120 --> 00:00:16,919
Speaker 1: the guys in the top one hundred are good. We

7
00:00:16,960 --> 00:00:18,800
Speaker 1: know they're gonna help you win leagues. But who are

8
00:00:18,840 --> 00:00:21,439
Speaker 1: some of the other contributors outside that top one hundred

9
00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:23,520
Speaker 1: that you want a draft to make sure you have

10
00:00:23,640 --> 00:00:26,000
Speaker 1: on your roster because they might help you bring home

11
00:00:26,040 --> 00:00:27,680
Speaker 1: the gold. And to help me do it, of course,

12
00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:30,640
Speaker 1: is my co host though Welsh, you're not a guest.

13
00:00:30,680 --> 00:00:32,640
Speaker 1: I decided yesterday. I don't know why I'm calling you

14
00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:34,879
Speaker 1: a guest. I don't know what the hell's going on.

15
00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:37,680
Speaker 1: But it is three sixteen, which means happy stone cold

16
00:00:37,720 --> 00:00:41,040
Speaker 1: Steve Austin day and in you know, typical stone cold

17
00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:45,960
Speaker 1: Steve Austin form. But we got a stunner yesterday leading

18
00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:49,160
Speaker 1: up until today, which is what which is Edwin Diaz

19
00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:53,239
Speaker 1: unfortunately looking like he is going to be unavailable for

20
00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:55,400
Speaker 1: quite some time for the New York Mets. As of

21
00:00:55,440 --> 00:00:57,400
Speaker 1: recording this, we don't have clarity of what the injury

22
00:00:57,440 --> 00:00:58,080
Speaker 1: is exactly.

23
00:00:58,200 --> 00:00:58,840
Speaker 2: We know it's a THEE.

24
00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:01,200
Speaker 1: We don't know how long he's gonna be out, but Welsh,

25
00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:02,680
Speaker 1: we have to speculate here.

26
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:04,280
Speaker 2: Autavino's still in that bullpen.

27
00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:06,360
Speaker 1: I know they're gonna watch Zach Britton throw that's another

28
00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:08,840
Speaker 1: name that's been on the radar, and Welsh before we

29
00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:09,800
Speaker 1: get to the replacements.

30
00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:11,080
Speaker 2: I just want to throw this out, man.

31
00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:14,000
Speaker 1: This is why when we do these mock drafts, everybody

32
00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:16,640
Speaker 1: sees me wait on closer because it's the one thing

33
00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:20,160
Speaker 1: that you can replace easily on the waiver wire, saves

34
00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:22,960
Speaker 1: or saves. You'll never replace the peripherals of a guy

35
00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:25,600
Speaker 1: like Edwin Diaz. Of course he is super special. But

36
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:27,600
Speaker 1: to me, that's why I always just wait on closer

37
00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:30,760
Speaker 1: because eventually there's turnover, Guys lose jobs, guys get hurt,

38
00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:34,120
Speaker 1: guys get traded, and eventually saves comes around again. But

39
00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:36,480
Speaker 1: who is going to save games for the Mets here

40
00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:38,679
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty three, because I think that is now

41
00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:39,399
Speaker 1: wide open.

42
00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:42,000
Speaker 3: Yeah. My only counter to that is, like that is

43
00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:46,080
Speaker 3: actually one more lockdown closer off the board and that

44
00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:49,040
Speaker 3: is one less that's on the table. So I would

45
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:51,080
Speaker 3: actually say this could be an argument to taking the

46
00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:53,040
Speaker 3: top guys. So here I would tell you this. I

47
00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:55,120
Speaker 3: don't think I ever took Edwin Diaz once. I never

48
00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:57,680
Speaker 3: was the first to pull the trigger on the closers.

49
00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:01,160
Speaker 3: I was a semi reactor to them, like I'd love

50
00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:03,000
Speaker 3: to get Class A, but what do you see in

51
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:04,960
Speaker 3: most of my drafts, I end up best at getting

52
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:07,800
Speaker 3: like Jeorde Romano or Ryan Presley and trying to do

53
00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:11,280
Speaker 3: something like that. So, like your point is good, I

54
00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:14,720
Speaker 3: still think this is just an argument for taking closers

55
00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:17,440
Speaker 3: a little bit early because what I think is gonna

56
00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:19,360
Speaker 3: ultimately happen. I could be wrong. We just don't know

57
00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:21,679
Speaker 3: anything right now. It looked really bad what happened to Edwin.

58
00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:22,480
Speaker 3: If people don't know.

59
00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:25,080
Speaker 1: It was a while, folks.

60
00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:27,480
Speaker 3: It was in a celebration. It was literally Puerto Rico

61
00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:31,079
Speaker 3: winning or no, yeah, it was Puerto Rico, right, yeah,

62
00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:33,880
Speaker 3: Puerto Rico beat Dominican Republic and it was after the

63
00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:36,240
Speaker 3: game winning and they jumped around and celebrated, and he

64
00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:38,080
Speaker 3: had to be carried off because he hurt his knee.

65
00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:41,560
Speaker 3: I don't think they're gonna label a closer. I think

66
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:44,000
Speaker 3: you're gonna get the classic by committee, and I think

67
00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:47,160
Speaker 3: it's gonna be both versions of Ottavino and David Robertson.

68
00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:50,160
Speaker 3: I think Ottavino is the guy that I'm like making

69
00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:52,120
Speaker 3: the choice for. If you looked at like roster stuff,

70
00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:54,119
Speaker 3: he was set up to be the eighth guy. David

71
00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:56,600
Speaker 3: Robertson the seventh. I do think they would kind of

72
00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:58,840
Speaker 3: go into a committee. And that's my point. You would

73
00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:01,240
Speaker 3: want closers that are locked and nodding committees, and this

74
00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:04,000
Speaker 3: is now one more committee. So yes, you could easily

75
00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:06,480
Speaker 3: go and pick these guys up, but now you have

76
00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:08,760
Speaker 3: no assurances. Maybe they'll give us a gift and they'll

77
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:11,600
Speaker 3: say Adam Anavino is the guy, and there's no question.

78
00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:14,560
Speaker 3: Maybe they'll make a big trade to someone that's kind

79
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:16,920
Speaker 3: of like SIMMI not that they would do this, but

80
00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:19,200
Speaker 3: like you know, the Mariners, Paul Seawald gets traded and

81
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:21,440
Speaker 3: all of a sudden and just Munnos is a lockdown

82
00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:24,920
Speaker 3: closer and Paul Seawald now is I just don't anticipate it.

83
00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:29,440
Speaker 3: But boy, I remember like in the WBC, this one

84
00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:31,800
Speaker 3: hurt a lot of complainers and.

85
00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:35,640
Speaker 1: Look, injuries happen, and spring training injuries happen. Franciscoldend Door

86
00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:38,560
Speaker 1: closed his hand in a hotel room door.

87
00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:42,080
Speaker 2: I mean, like, it's just look, these things can happen.

88
00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:44,320
Speaker 1: The only thing about the WBC that I actually saw

89
00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:47,760
Speaker 1: one person make a cogent comment about it, which was, really,

90
00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:53,240
Speaker 1: these are very high level games that these guys are playing,

91
00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:56,600
Speaker 1: where maybe their bodies just aren't physically ready for the

92
00:03:56,600 --> 00:03:59,240
Speaker 1: emotion and the physicality of what these games are. And

93
00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:02,360
Speaker 1: that actually is the only cojin point that I've heard

94
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:05,600
Speaker 1: where the WBC does put guys in danger. And that's right,

95
00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:07,920
Speaker 1: because look, there's nobody watching these games doesn't think these

96
00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:10,360
Speaker 1: guys are trying and giving it everything they've got, and

97
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:12,360
Speaker 1: there's every reason to believe that their bodies aren't quite

98
00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:15,000
Speaker 1: up to one hundred percent ramped up for the intensity

99
00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:16,039
Speaker 1: of these moments.

100
00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:17,960
Speaker 3: This wasn't a thing that happened in game and he

101
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:19,560
Speaker 3: blew his arm out there, but it wasn't.

102
00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:21,520
Speaker 2: It happened in celebration, and again.

103
00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:22,840
Speaker 3: Us frat all over type thing.

104
00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:25,240
Speaker 2: Look it is, it just sucks. It's Kendrews Morales.

105
00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:27,240
Speaker 1: Remember years ago when he hit that Grand Slam and

106
00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:30,400
Speaker 1: he walked off, and he walked off without his knee ligaments.

107
00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:32,599
Speaker 1: After when he stepped on home plate, we jumped on

108
00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:33,760
Speaker 1: it like these things just happen.

109
00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:34,279
Speaker 2: It sucks.

110
00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:37,040
Speaker 1: Move on here, we get to go, all right, so

111
00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:39,400
Speaker 1: let's continue on with our league winners. Before we do that,

Speaker 2: Be there, baby, for all of them.

124
00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:16,560
Speaker 3: Yes, the whole time. Joe four Wards, Right, Well, I.

125
00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:18,360
Speaker 1: Told you, I told you guests the other day, because

126
00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:20,440
Speaker 1: I still treat you nicely, whereas I'm tough on the

127
00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:21,000
Speaker 1: other guys.

128
00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:22,520
Speaker 2: But I'm sure by may.

129
00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:24,920
Speaker 3: That change if I bring I think there's a couple

130
00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:26,320
Speaker 3: of players that might bring up today that you might

131
00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:29,640
Speaker 3: start getting tough on me. Okay, talking about well, let's.

132
00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:29,839
Speaker 2: Start with that.

133
00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:32,560
Speaker 1: Let's start with your number ten, outside the top one

134
00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:33,239
Speaker 1: hundred ADP.

135
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:35,800
Speaker 2: It could be a league winner in twenty twenty three.

136
00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:38,680
Speaker 3: Okay. So the league winner is very specific here, and

137
00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:42,160
Speaker 3: it doesn't always necessarily mean the players that I am

138
00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:44,200
Speaker 3: obsessed with getting. But I did do this in a

139
00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:47,159
Speaker 3: mock the other day at number ten. If you want

140
00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:49,640
Speaker 3: to talk about real league winning, I think.

141
00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:50,240
Speaker 2: You have to.

142
00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:52,360
Speaker 3: And I said this very early in the preseason, You've

143
00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:54,599
Speaker 3: got to talk about Adoberto Mondesi. As gross as it

144
00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:58,039
Speaker 3: all is, you've got an adyp that is putting him

145
00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:01,920
Speaker 3: at two thirty four. He actually, in projections, is a

146
00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:03,920
Speaker 3: guy that can steal all the bases, can lead the

147
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:07,359
Speaker 3: league in stolen bases. It's a shortstop. There's a really

148
00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:09,960
Speaker 3: decent potential he can move up in a lineup in Boston.

149
00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:11,840
Speaker 3: Right now, they might have to manufacture a lot. So

150
00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:14,359
Speaker 3: we want to talk about like league winning. Here a

151
00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:17,159
Speaker 3: guy posts two hundred that could lead the league in

152
00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:22,200
Speaker 3: stolen bases that can hit double digit homers. That's what this.

153
00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:25,440
Speaker 3: This is like a definitive reason behind this. So Alibertomondesy

154
00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:28,200
Speaker 3: for me, is an easy idea of a league winner.

155
00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:28,760
Speaker 2: Will he be?

156
00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:30,880
Speaker 3: He's probably the biggest question mark as far as my

157
00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:33,040
Speaker 3: list goes, but he was actually like the first person

158
00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:35,279
Speaker 3: I thought of because he gets this. Joe, what do

159
00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:36,039
Speaker 3: you have at ten?

160
00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:39,000
Speaker 1: Well, first, I just want to say, is a very

161
00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:41,120
Speaker 1: risky one. But again, it costs you almost nothing that

162
00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:42,280
Speaker 1: the ADPs.

163
00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:43,600
Speaker 2: At, so I get it. I'm not too mad.

164
00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:45,760
Speaker 1: I will roll my eyes a little though on the

165
00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:48,800
Speaker 1: YouTube channel about Alberto Mondesi because he's already hurt. He's

166
00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:49,680
Speaker 1: already doing with injuries.

167
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:52,440
Speaker 3: The twenty players we have between you and I, right,

168
00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:55,799
Speaker 3: I believe this is the fourth lowest ADP of any

169
00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:59,200
Speaker 3: single player, and there's no player of these twenty besides

170
00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:01,520
Speaker 3: him or the other nine team that could lead the

171
00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:03,040
Speaker 3: league in a category.

172
00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:06,520
Speaker 1: You're right, and the rule changes help him potentially. I'm

173
00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:08,680
Speaker 1: rolling my eyes, but at the same time I hear

174
00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:11,600
Speaker 1: what you're saying. I would say, depending on where he

175
00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:13,000
Speaker 1: hits in the line up by a three hundred percent

176
00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:15,239
Speaker 1: and how much in terms of that bats the Boston

177
00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:17,040
Speaker 1: Red Sox are gonna give you. All right, let's take

178
00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:18,520

194
00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:06,800
Speaker 1: to the action next for me, code I Sanga too

195
00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:08,800
Speaker 1: eighty eight? How in the hell is his adp still

196
00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:11,360
Speaker 1: too eighty eight. Welsh, I don't know, this is ridiculous.

197
00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:14,200
Speaker 1: Let's get in on this guy. I keep telling everybody

198
00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:17,320
Speaker 1: the Mets rotation. He's solidified as the number three guy.

199
00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:19,960
Speaker 1: At the worst case scenario, he's really good for a

200
00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:21,480
Speaker 1: few months, and if you still don't believe in him,

201
00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:23,880
Speaker 1: you could swap him into trade. But to me, Senga

202
00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:25,920
Speaker 1: is one of these guys the ghost forkball. Everybody's been

203
00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:29,080
Speaker 1: talking about it. It looks really good. Sometimes we get

204
00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:32,360
Speaker 1: pictures who come over from Japan who struggle, and sometimes

205
00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:34,480
Speaker 1: we get them that come over and they dominate, like

206
00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:36,280
Speaker 1: the Hideo Nomos of the world, to go out there

207
00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:38,760
Speaker 1: and win Rookie of the Year. Seng is an interesting

208
00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:41,760
Speaker 1: wager for that. But in terms of fantasy, I'm gonna

209
00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:43,600
Speaker 1: tell you right now, I think he's worth the investment

210
00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:46,920
Speaker 1: because you have very little to lose at this ADP Welsh.

211
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:48,880
Speaker 1: Let's go to you for another picture for your number

212
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:49,640
Speaker 1: nine player.

213
00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:52,679
Speaker 3: Yeah, someone I was a crazy crazy on earlier in

214
00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:54,360
Speaker 3: the year. But you know what, when you're looking at

215
00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:57,800
Speaker 3: pictures that have that like top fifteen to twenty upside

216
00:08:57,800 --> 00:09:00,480
Speaker 3: as far as SP's goes or you know, even I

217
00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:03,000
Speaker 3: suppose like that you're looking at those aces. The White

218
00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:05,280
Speaker 3: Socks are actually a place that you can dig. And

219
00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:07,840
Speaker 3: lance Lynn is someone that has really jumped up to me.

220
00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:11,760
Speaker 3: Lancelyn's ADP right now on Fantasy pros ADP the consensus

221
00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:14,600
Speaker 3: you guys can go check out is one thirty right now.

222
00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:18,200
Speaker 3: Last year he had an unsustainable left on base percentage

223
00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:21,880
Speaker 3: of sixty eight percent, seventy five percent is his career.

224
00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:25,520
Speaker 3: You also had an over average home run to flyball ratio,

225
00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:28,040
Speaker 3: which has been pretty manageable. Strikeouts were lower than they've

226
00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:31,360
Speaker 3: been really since twenty seventeen, and Vila was a tiny

227
00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:33,360
Speaker 3: bit dipped. All of that seems to have come back

228
00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:36,079
Speaker 3: at spring. Stats looked good in the WBC, look good

229
00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:38,960
Speaker 3: in spring. Lance Lynn is a great bounce back candidate

230
00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:42,960
Speaker 3: who you're getting post one twenty five, and he's got

231
00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:45,520
Speaker 3: the potential to be as far as even inside the

232
00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:48,400
Speaker 3: top ten of SPS. He can stack some wins. White

233
00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:51,560
Speaker 3: Sox have been underwhelming, but you get a discount on

234
00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:55,280
Speaker 3: everybody named not named Dylan Cees and I'm all about

235
00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:57,240
Speaker 3: that right now. So Lancelyn is number nine as a

236
00:09:57,320 --> 00:09:59,360
Speaker 3: league winner, Joe number nine for you.

237
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:02,600
Speaker 1: Anslynn made my list as well, so more on him

238
00:10:02,679 --> 00:10:06,400
Speaker 1: later to come. My number nine guy is Jordan Walker,

239
00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:09,000
Speaker 1: third base eligible, but he's probably gonna play the outfield

240
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:11,520
Speaker 1: for the Saint Louis Cardinals. He is at one ninety

241
00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:14,200
Speaker 1: eight right now. I think it just eat patience with

242
00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:17,080
Speaker 1: Jordan Walker. Everything is there. I think the opportunity will

243
00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:19,520
Speaker 1: present itself, and if it doesn't present itself right away

244
00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:22,560
Speaker 1: in April, I would not panic about drafting him at

245
00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:24,960
Speaker 1: one ninety eight still, I would just keep him on

246
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:28,000
Speaker 1: my bench, wait and see how April goes, because I

247
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:30,440
Speaker 1: do think eventually you're going to get four good months

248
00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:33,040
Speaker 1: out of Jordan Walker at minimum, and I think that's

249
00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:35,640
Speaker 1: worth the selection of Jordan Walker. The guy has power.

250
00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:37,480
Speaker 1: They have a need for him in the middle of

251
00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:39,880
Speaker 1: this order without a doubt, and I think it's high

252
00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:42,520
Speaker 1: time one of these young outfield prospects of the Saint

253
00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:46,079
Speaker 1: Louis Cardins finally hits. And I mean that literally and figuratively.

254
00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:47,520
Speaker 1: And I think Jordan Walker is the guy to break

255
00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:49,360
Speaker 1: the mold, they really do. I like what I see

256
00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:51,640
Speaker 1: out of him. I compared him a lot to Jermaine die.

257
00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:53,040
Speaker 1: You reminds me a lot of that player, and I

258
00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:55,040
Speaker 1: think that this is a guy that you were going

259
00:10:55,040 --> 00:10:59,120
Speaker 1: to see sooner than later impact Fantasy baseball, and the

260
00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:01,080
Speaker 1: fact that you could still qualify and at third base

261
00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:05,440
Speaker 1: in most leagues is huge Welsh. That alone, there's so

262
00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:08,760
Speaker 1: little depth there at first and third. You need corner guys.

263
00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:10,920
Speaker 1: You can get by in April picking some guys off

264
00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:13,240
Speaker 1: off the waiver wire, but Walker is a better long

265
00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:16,120
Speaker 1: term twenty twenty three investments. So I want Jordan Walker

266
00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:18,599
Speaker 1: on my team. Let's go to number eight for you,

267
00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:21,920
Speaker 1: abuding guys that I actually drafted yesterday.

268
00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:24,080
Speaker 3: On our Yeah, and funny fact, I want to mention

269
00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:26,480
Speaker 3: to the guy you just had in Jordan Walker. I

270
00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:28,280
Speaker 3: just had a draft yesterday, a mock draft where he

271
00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:31,040
Speaker 3: went inside the top eighty. I mean he is moving up. Oh,

272
00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:33,640
Speaker 3: I know, I know. It's crazy that and that's the

273
00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:35,520
Speaker 3: assumption of him having a job. Also, I want to

274
00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:37,640
Speaker 3: give you credit here for the list you put together,

275
00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:39,520
Speaker 3: because I didn't even see that you had Lancelon on it.

276
00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:41,880
Speaker 3: I had to pivot so many times off of this

277
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:44,920
Speaker 3: rate list that you made because half of these guys

278
00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:46,959
Speaker 3: were on mind. Now half of these guys were on mind,

279
00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:48,240
Speaker 3: Jordan Walker would have been on mine.

280
00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:51,200
Speaker 1: Like the same guys because we're smart, we're good at this,

281
00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:52,760
Speaker 1: so we want everybody else.

282
00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:53,959
Speaker 2: To be good at this. That's what we're trying to

283
00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:54,319
Speaker 2: do here.

284
00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:58,360
Speaker 1: We're trying to make baseball fun and informative, and you know,

285
00:11:58,520 --> 00:12:00,400
Speaker 1: make sure that Like I think it also speaks to

286
00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:02,600
Speaker 1: something we debate a lot on a lot of guys,

287
00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:04,600
Speaker 1: but with Wells and I are both on a player.

288
00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:06,559
Speaker 1: I think it's always something you should notice, and I

289
00:12:06,559 --> 00:12:08,680
Speaker 1: think you should take notice and be aggressive on those players.

290
00:12:08,679 --> 00:12:11,320
Speaker 1: And some of these guys we are and this guy

291
00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:13,160
Speaker 1: we are both in on too, because I think he

292
00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:15,120
Speaker 1: is being underappreciated.

293
00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:17,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, and we're also the most humble, the most humble.

294
00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:20,439
Speaker 3: Jose Miranda is the player at number eight who I've

295
00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:24,040
Speaker 3: talked just lit me at in the entire offseason. I

296
00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:27,120
Speaker 3: love the contact skills. I really really think this is

297
00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:29,720
Speaker 3: a middle of the order type of bat, and if

298
00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:32,480
Speaker 3: it progresses to that level, I would not be shocked

299
00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:34,360
Speaker 3: if this team at some point was to run out

300
00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:37,280
Speaker 3: of Jose Miranda even at three, maybe at two, but

301
00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:40,520
Speaker 3: a great, great two strike a hitter. There's twenty plus

302
00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:43,680
Speaker 3: power in their multi position eligible qualifies at third, which

303
00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:46,079
Speaker 3: really stinks this year and you can put them over

304
00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:49,520
Speaker 3: at first You know, the league winning thing is tough

305
00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:52,480
Speaker 3: because you look at players like can they do everything

306
00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:55,160
Speaker 3: for you? He doesn't do everything for you, but you're

307
00:12:55,160 --> 00:12:57,960
Speaker 3: getting him post one fifty and the impact of what

308
00:12:58,040 --> 00:13:00,680
Speaker 3: he does at third base and just overall on the

309
00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:03,880
Speaker 3: power numbers in a great offense in Minnesota. I think

310
00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:06,280
Speaker 3: this is one of those guys that has easy potential

311
00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:07,920
Speaker 3: to jump inside the top one hundred and can be

312
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:11,640
Speaker 3: a league winner, whether it is your corner, your corner spots,

313
00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:13,760
Speaker 3: or you're putting over at third base. So Jose Miranda

314
00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:16,840
Speaker 3: number eight for me, number eight for you, Joe is whom.

315
00:13:17,040 --> 00:13:19,400
Speaker 1: Well, he is my fallback, by the way yesterday you

316
00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:21,240
Speaker 1: saw that at first base. If things don't go my way,

317
00:13:21,280 --> 00:13:23,520
Speaker 1: I'll take Miranda and I'll hopefully get twenty something home

318
00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:26,280
Speaker 1: runs out of him in some decent counting stats. For me.

319
00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:30,959
Speaker 1: Number eight is Katel Marte, second baseman, slash outfield, slash,

320
00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:34,040
Speaker 1: dh slash whatever for the Arizona Diamondbacks, And I think

321
00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:35,920
Speaker 1: Marte is going to benefit from the team starting to

322
00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:37,520
Speaker 1: get a little better around him and a little bit

323
00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:38,600
Speaker 1: more athletic.

324
00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:38,880
Speaker 2: Around him too.

325
00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:41,040
Speaker 1: The Diamondbacks kind of struggled the last few years, but

326
00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:43,440
Speaker 1: a good team on the field, and I think they

327
00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:46,160
Speaker 1: acquired Christian Walker few years ago. That's been a good addition.

328
00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:48,920
Speaker 1: You see Corbyn, Carroll and McCarthy coming up. This is

329
00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:52,200
Speaker 1: a much more dynamic team in Arizona than we've seen

330
00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:54,480
Speaker 1: in many, many years. So I think that looking at

331
00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:58,280
Speaker 1: Katel Marte, the surrounding pieces help you know sort of

332
00:13:58,280 --> 00:14:02,520
Speaker 1: the was it the all the waves bring the boat

333
00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:06,920
Speaker 1: to the shore some stupid thing I'm asking the wrong metaphor, right.

334
00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:09,920
Speaker 3: You just started to create your own welshis.

335
00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:12,720
Speaker 1: Because tides raise the shore of the boats and the

336
00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:13,520
Speaker 1: things with the.

337
00:14:13,760 --> 00:14:17,000
Speaker 3: We sell sea cells by the seashore pretty much.

338
00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:19,360
Speaker 1: But here's the thing with Marte. Second base also a

339
00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:22,360
Speaker 1: tough position. I'm not chasing his peak season. I'm not

340
00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:24,480
Speaker 1: thinking he's gonna hit thirty bombs. I'm not thinking he's

341
00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:26,160
Speaker 1: gonna hit three twenty or something like that.

342
00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:27,760
Speaker 2: But can he give you a.

343
00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:31,000
Speaker 1: Solid, productive season across the board in a bunch of categories.

344
00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:33,400
Speaker 1: I think the answer is yes. And I think he's

345
00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:35,200
Speaker 1: one of these players that people have been so in

346
00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:38,200
Speaker 1: on in some years and been disappointed that the market

347
00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:40,000
Speaker 1: right now, when you look at where he's being drafted

348
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:42,680
Speaker 1: at one ninety four, Marcu's pretty much given up. And

349
00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:44,040
Speaker 1: I think he's still too young of a player to

350
00:14:44,080 --> 00:14:46,640
Speaker 1: give up on completely. And I think if you invest

351
00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:48,400
Speaker 1: in him and he plays one hundred and fifty games,

352
00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:50,640
Speaker 1: I do think he can help win you a league.

353
00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:53,040
Speaker 1: Because second base and middle infield we talk about all

354
00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:56,240
Speaker 1: the time. You know, shortstops loaded second base not so much.

355
00:14:56,560 --> 00:14:58,880
Speaker 1: Here's a fallback option if things don't go your way,

356
00:14:58,880 --> 00:15:01,000
Speaker 1: and that is Katel Marte. All right, let's go to

357
00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:03,560
Speaker 1: number seven, a guy that you and I seem to

358
00:15:03,560 --> 00:15:06,440
Speaker 1: be fighting over lately and we both lost out yesterday

359
00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:09,800
Speaker 1: on the Draft show to John Legaza on Jad Martinez.

360
00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:11,680
Speaker 3: Now, what happened to you? Just there a second? By

361
00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:13,520
Speaker 3: the way, you turned into a like Philly, You've got

362
00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:14,840
Speaker 3: Philly oundre. You're like, hey, I know.

363
00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:17,400
Speaker 1: I knew, you know, what's happening to my face starting

364
00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:23,240
Speaker 1: to go again. It's been a rough couple weeks of illness, sickness, tired,

365
00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:27,000
Speaker 1: time change. Now nobody cares. Nobody cares about my complaint.

366
00:15:27,080 --> 00:15:30,120
Speaker 3: It just it was one of those like Joe personality, what.

367
00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:31,520
Speaker 1: You want to do is you want a draft Kitael

368
00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:34,160
Speaker 1: Marte and then get a hoogie and watch him like,

369
00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:35,760
Speaker 1: hit him runs the whole time.

370
00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:38,240
Speaker 3: You are right, though, Jadi Martinez is a player that

371
00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:41,080
Speaker 3: you and I have both been trying to attack at

372
00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:43,960
Speaker 3: all costs. It's something about the Dodgers and what they're

373
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:45,840
Speaker 3: able to do overall. He's also going to hit a

374
00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:47,560
Speaker 3: prominent spot in the lineup. But if you're going to

375
00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:50,160
Speaker 3: be hitting behind like Freddie Freeman and Mookie Betts, give

376
00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:52,760
Speaker 3: me that all day. It was a down year last year,

377
00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:55,240
Speaker 3: he still hit two seventy four, though the power numbers

378
00:15:55,480 --> 00:15:58,160
Speaker 3: kind of tanked a little bit, But again, Dodgers are

379
00:15:58,200 --> 00:16:00,600
Speaker 3: a great hope for bounce back that that exes got

380
00:16:00,640 --> 00:16:03,440
Speaker 3: him at twenty three homers with a two sixty nine

381
00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:05,920
Speaker 3: batting average, and he is an afterthought because he's DH

382
00:16:05,960 --> 00:16:09,200
Speaker 3: only for so many people. He goes at one ninety one.

383
00:16:09,520 --> 00:16:12,080
Speaker 3: If you get twenty five homers, your pro I mean,

384
00:16:12,080 --> 00:16:14,480
Speaker 3: what do the beat projections have They've got seventy four

385
00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:16,680
Speaker 3: eighty on the run in RBIs if you get close

386
00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:19,320
Speaker 3: to eighty five eighty five with near twenty five homers

387
00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:22,040
Speaker 3: and a two seventy five batting average that is going

388
00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:25,520
Speaker 3: to smash smash the costs that you get him at.

389
00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:27,880
Speaker 3: So one ninety one, it's a no brainer.

390
00:16:28,040 --> 00:16:28,280
Speaker 2: JD.

391
00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:31,120
Speaker 3: Martinez all day long. Number seve right.

392
00:16:30,920 --> 00:16:33,960
Speaker 1: Next on my list is somebody that, of course I've

393
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:36,200
Speaker 1: talked about at nauseum, and I'm just gonna keep driving

394
00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:39,280
Speaker 1: this home because I just think it's correct. One seventy

395
00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:41,840
Speaker 1: actually moved to one sixty nine this morning on the

396
00:16:41,880 --> 00:16:46,440
Speaker 1: big board. There you go, Andres Munio's reliever for the

397
00:16:46,520 --> 00:16:49,440
Speaker 1: Seattle Mariners. Like every video, he's in everything.

398
00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:51,680
Speaker 3: I tried to put him in mind here by the way,

399
00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:53,200
Speaker 3: and then I looked over and I was like, God,

400
00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:55,360
Speaker 3: Joe's got him on here like I tried to do it.

401
00:16:55,640 --> 00:16:57,960
Speaker 3: He was gonna get him way higher though, way higher

402
00:16:57,960 --> 00:17:00,000
Speaker 3: than you. I'm gonna tell everybody I was gonna put

403
00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:01,600
Speaker 3: him at two on this pe.

404
00:17:01,640 --> 00:17:04,760
Speaker 1: Well minor based on the way I did. My list

405
00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:09,080
Speaker 1: was descending ADP. So the further you're going, so I

406
00:17:09,080 --> 00:17:11,080
Speaker 1: started out, and as we get closer to one hundred,

407
00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:12,440
Speaker 1: I think these guys might be able to help you

408
00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:13,480
Speaker 1: a little more because there.

409
00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:15,080
Speaker 2: Is still a range of outcomes.

410
00:17:15,080 --> 00:17:17,399
Speaker 1: As my friend Derek Brown likes to say, where you

411
00:17:17,400 --> 00:17:19,520
Speaker 1: know sea Wald just stays the closer.

412
00:17:19,600 --> 00:17:20,840
Speaker 2: It could happen now.

413
00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:23,520
Speaker 1: The foot issue he had, the foot surgery, Munnos he's

414
00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:28,240
Speaker 1: been throwing bullpens now. Live batting practice session was scheduled

415
00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:29,639
Speaker 1: for Monday, so that was good.

416
00:17:30,680 --> 00:17:31,280
Speaker 2: It's just a.

417
00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:33,320
Speaker 1: Matter of ramp up now and how fast that can

418
00:17:33,359 --> 00:17:35,240
Speaker 1: happen for him, And I do believe it when you're

419
00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:38,840
Speaker 1: looking at the k percentage, which is just absurd, the

420
00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:41,159
Speaker 1: thirty seven percent, when you look at what he did

421
00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:43,600
Speaker 1: last year, the two four, nine and sixty five innings,

422
00:17:43,760 --> 00:17:46,600
Speaker 1: the point a nine whip, it's only a matter of time.

423
00:17:46,800 --> 00:17:48,960
Speaker 1: Paul Seewald is a good reliever, but to me, you

424
00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:52,160
Speaker 1: want a lockdown, closer guy. I think Seawald is more

425
00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:55,360
Speaker 1: of the matchup guy and Munios is more of the flamethrowing,

426
00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:57,280
Speaker 1: get three outs and the game is over and you

427
00:17:57,320 --> 00:17:58,720
Speaker 1: make it an eight inning game kind of guy. And

428
00:17:58,760 --> 00:18:01,480
Speaker 1: I do think this is just something over time where

429
00:18:01,520 --> 00:18:03,680
Speaker 1: he wins out and it could be sooner than later,

430
00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:05,240
Speaker 1: and don't worry about the ramp up. See if ramp

431
00:18:05,280 --> 00:18:08,800
Speaker 1: ups for relievers much easier than starting pitchers, So it's

432
00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:12,439
Speaker 1: not like he needs three weeks in order to get ready.

433
00:18:12,560 --> 00:18:13,399
Speaker 2: He really doesn't.

434
00:18:13,400 --> 00:18:15,240
Speaker 1: He needs a minimum amount of innings to go there

435
00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:17,520
Speaker 1: and be useful for the Mariners. So that's why he

436
00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:19,720
Speaker 1: is number seven on my list because there is still

437
00:18:19,760 --> 00:18:22,720
Speaker 1: some downside. Good list so far? Next and I did

438
00:18:22,720 --> 00:18:25,120
Speaker 1: it again? So for what are we doing here? What

439
00:18:25,160 --> 00:18:27,679
Speaker 1: the hell is wrong with me today? I am so

440
00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:30,560
Speaker 1: tired when I just keep doing shows anyway, it doesn't matter.

441
00:18:30,640 --> 00:18:32,280
Speaker 3: I love, I actually think we could do. It's gonna

442
00:18:32,280 --> 00:18:33,640
Speaker 3: be like a drinking game. It'd be like how many

443
00:18:33,640 --> 00:18:35,000
Speaker 3: different voices come out of you?

444
00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:37,639
Speaker 1: So for what are we doing? All right, let's go

445
00:18:37,680 --> 00:18:39,520
Speaker 1: to it. This is the best name to say in

446
00:18:39,560 --> 00:18:42,040
Speaker 1: that voice too. Number six Anthony Volpi.

447
00:18:42,840 --> 00:18:45,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's a good prospect, Like I don't have a

448
00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:47,879
Speaker 3: lot of prospects on this list. Jordan Walker would have

449
00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:49,720
Speaker 3: court of course made it. And there's so many of

450
00:18:49,760 --> 00:18:51,920
Speaker 3: these guys that come at such big costs. But if

451
00:18:51,960 --> 00:18:55,280
Speaker 3: you let's get back to like the context and the

452
00:18:55,320 --> 00:18:57,880
Speaker 3: idea of what this episode is is it's league winners.

453
00:18:58,200 --> 00:19:00,560
Speaker 3: So where do league winners usually come from? They come

454
00:19:00,560 --> 00:19:05,920
Speaker 3: from deeper ADPs. Anthony Volpi is the one prospect, not Colas,

455
00:19:05,960 --> 00:19:09,000
Speaker 3: knock megal Vargas, not any of that. He's the one

456
00:19:09,119 --> 00:19:12,480
Speaker 3: prospect that really sits out here with a crazy low

457
00:19:12,520 --> 00:19:16,400
Speaker 3: ADP because there's no guarantees. But the chatter is getting

458
00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:19,119
Speaker 3: bigger and bigger, and the articles are becoming more and

459
00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:21,720
Speaker 3: more about Anthony Volpy needing to break teams. You're also

460
00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:24,040
Speaker 3: seeing some big writers. I think Peter Gammons did this,

461
00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:27,760
Speaker 3: which means you're getting upper people in the organization blush

462
00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:31,760
Speaker 3: national Anthony. Yeah, that Anthony Volpi should break with this team,

463
00:19:32,080 --> 00:19:34,920
Speaker 3: and it's becoming a big piece of the conversation that listen,

464
00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:38,560
Speaker 3: if Anthony Volpe does break, he is a twenty twenty

465
00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:42,560
Speaker 3: potential player instantly. The Batex, they're just low on prospects

466
00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:46,320
Speaker 3: in under sixty games, has six homers, eight stolen bases.

467
00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:48,600
Speaker 3: You project that out and you just double it, and

468
00:19:48,600 --> 00:19:50,359
Speaker 3: that gets you only to one hundred and twenty games.

469
00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:52,679
Speaker 3: You're looking at a fourteen to sixteen season. If you

470
00:19:52,720 --> 00:19:55,679
Speaker 3: get a full year, you're gonna get to twenty twenty

471
00:19:55,720 --> 00:19:59,199
Speaker 3: in that great ballpark. So it's riskier, but this is

472
00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:02,159
Speaker 3: the first this guy down the ADP list, that is,

473
00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:04,720
Speaker 3: of all twenty players are technically nineteen because we have

474
00:20:04,760 --> 00:20:08,080
Speaker 3: one holdover at three forty seven right now the end

475
00:20:08,119 --> 00:20:11,679
Speaker 3: of your drafts. Maybe I think right now you snag Volpi.

476
00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:13,680
Speaker 3: If he doesn't make the roster, you can cut him

477
00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:15,359
Speaker 3: and move on, but you take him at the end

478
00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:17,600
Speaker 3: because if he does break camp, this is a twenty

479
00:20:17,640 --> 00:20:19,840
Speaker 3: twenty player and a player that people are going to

480
00:20:19,960 --> 00:20:23,280
Speaker 3: dump fab on. When he does actually make it, Anthony

481
00:20:23,359 --> 00:20:24,480
Speaker 3: Velope could be a league winner.

482
00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:27,760
Speaker 1: I only want Anthony Volpi to break camp if he's

483
00:20:27,800 --> 00:20:30,359
Speaker 1: gonna play every day, which again I just not the

484
00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:32,639
Speaker 1: only way they would do it. I mean he's gotta

485
00:20:32,640 --> 00:20:34,119
Speaker 1: be an everyday player then, and I don't know what

486
00:20:34,160 --> 00:20:35,840
Speaker 1: that means. Then, like what do you do with like

487
00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:38,280
Speaker 1: do you move Glabor Torres the third? You don't want

488
00:20:38,280 --> 00:20:41,359
Speaker 1: to do that necessarily, and like you want like you

489
00:20:41,359 --> 00:20:43,280
Speaker 1: want Oswald braz you want all these guys you got

490
00:20:43,280 --> 00:20:44,800
Speaker 1: Donaldson still floating around there.

491
00:20:45,320 --> 00:20:45,919
Speaker 2: Then I don't know.

492
00:20:46,240 --> 00:20:48,720
Speaker 3: The one thing though, with Volby, I think you can

493
00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:51,040
Speaker 3: still hold just for a tiny bit, because if you

494
00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:53,520
Speaker 3: do think about like arbitrational, like super two type of

495
00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:56,640
Speaker 3: stuff that I think in the first month, especially if

496
00:20:56,640 --> 00:20:59,120
Speaker 3: he just balls out at Triple A, he's coming back up.

497
00:20:59,119 --> 00:21:01,560
Speaker 3: So if you have the ability to hold, you could

498
00:21:01,560 --> 00:21:03,639
Speaker 3: avoid being the guy that has to dump a top waiver,

499
00:21:03,680 --> 00:21:06,720
Speaker 3: wire spot or fab to get him, because I don't

500
00:21:06,800 --> 00:21:09,600
Speaker 3: think when May comes around he's going to be in

501
00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:11,960
Speaker 3: the miners anymore, regardless of what's going on, whether he

502
00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:14,000
Speaker 3: breaks camp or not. So another thing to think about.

503
00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:16,480
Speaker 3: And Michael Harris was able to be a league winner

504
00:21:16,560 --> 00:21:19,080
Speaker 3: last year without coming up at the start of the year,

505
00:21:19,119 --> 00:21:20,360
Speaker 3: and Volpi can do the same thing.

506
00:21:20,760 --> 00:21:22,359
Speaker 1: Yeah, he'd be a dark horse for Rookie of the

507
00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:24,040
Speaker 1: Year for sure if he got every day at batsby

508
00:21:24,080 --> 00:21:25,960
Speaker 1: absolutely the Memorial.

509
00:21:25,560 --> 00:21:27,000
Speaker 2: Day, even even by then.

510
00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:29,679
Speaker 1: And I keep telling everybody from what I watched him

511
00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:32,080
Speaker 1: play in person, he reminds me of Pedroita, that same

512
00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:35,560
Speaker 1: skill set. He's got a little bit stronger of a

513
00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:38,160
Speaker 1: lower half, you know, like Padroya wasn't a big workout guy.

514
00:21:38,160 --> 00:21:40,200
Speaker 1: We all knew if Dustin Pedroya was a workout guy,

515
00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:42,199
Speaker 1: he would have been Anthony Volpey like if we had

516
00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:44,240
Speaker 1: to take it a little bit more physical care of himself,

517
00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:46,720
Speaker 1: but that same sort of style of play, same kind

518
00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:50,919
Speaker 1: of intensity, same sort of statistical setup too, where you

519
00:21:50,960 --> 00:21:52,520
Speaker 1: know he's going to give you some you know, fifteen

520
00:21:52,560 --> 00:21:54,639
Speaker 1: stone bases. He's going to give you more power than

521
00:21:54,640 --> 00:21:57,880
Speaker 1: you realize. Volpi's a really special talent. There's no doubt

522
00:21:57,880 --> 00:21:58,239
Speaker 1: about that.

523
00:21:58,280 --> 00:21:58,640
Speaker 2: All right.

524
00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:01,000
Speaker 1: Before we continue on with the list, just want to

525
00:22:01,040 --> 00:22:03,760

00:23:00,760 --> 00:23:03,520
Speaker 1: all of your drafts. Let's go on to the next

548
00:23:03,520 --> 00:23:06,040
Speaker 1: guy on the list, and for me, guess what, it's

549
00:23:06,040 --> 00:23:10,360
Speaker 1: another reliever. It's Jandran of the Minnesota Twins at one

550
00:23:10,520 --> 00:23:13,120
Speaker 1: forty eight. Now, this is another one of these electric

551
00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:15,280
Speaker 1: guys where I'm just trying to look for. You see,

552
00:23:15,359 --> 00:23:18,760
Speaker 1: he's about thirty spots higher than Munos in ADP because

553
00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:22,080
Speaker 1: I think people feel like, you know, lore Lopez is

554
00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:24,359
Speaker 1: the closer sort of kind of. This is another one

555
00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:26,840
Speaker 1: of these guys that's just simply electric. Eighty nine streakouts

556
00:23:26,920 --> 00:23:30,680
Speaker 1: last year, just sixteen walks. The control is impeccable, he's

557
00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:33,400
Speaker 1: practically unhittable, a point nine to eight whip, a one

558
00:23:33,520 --> 00:23:36,639
Speaker 1: eight six era. I just think it's kind of funny

559
00:23:36,640 --> 00:23:39,159
Speaker 1: that you know, him and Munhos are floating around, and

560
00:23:39,240 --> 00:23:41,560
Speaker 1: if you take both of those guys, you know they're

561
00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:43,520
Speaker 1: going to give you peripherals. And I do think eventually

562
00:23:43,520 --> 00:23:45,840
Speaker 1: they're gonna give you saves two. Last year he did

563
00:23:45,880 --> 00:23:48,000
Speaker 1: have eight saves, So I think Toron's just a matter

564
00:23:48,080 --> 00:23:51,439
Speaker 1: of time Welsh before he takes over. So a lot

565
00:23:51,480 --> 00:23:53,639
Speaker 1: of guys were talking about taking over spots here in

566
00:23:53,680 --> 00:23:56,600
Speaker 1: the relief area, which brings us to our top five

567
00:23:57,000 --> 00:23:59,520
Speaker 1: and top five. Who cracks number five for you, Welsh

568
00:23:59,520 --> 00:24:00,719
Speaker 1: on your list league winners.

569
00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:03,760
Speaker 3: Well, technically is another prospect, but unlike Volpi, Volpi was

570
00:24:03,760 --> 00:24:05,480
Speaker 3: a guy that did not touch the majors. This guy

571
00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:09,680
Speaker 3: did touch the majors. Does still have that qualification. Miguel Vargas.

572
00:24:09,760 --> 00:24:11,879
Speaker 3: Miguel Vargas has been someone I'm trying to swoop up

573
00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:14,639
Speaker 3: in every way I can. He has an adyp on

574
00:24:14,720 --> 00:24:18,640
Speaker 3: Fantasy Bros of two forty two leagues, pending of course

575
00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:20,680
Speaker 3: sometimes he goes in in the top of one to

576
00:24:20,760 --> 00:24:22,959
Speaker 3: eighty or so. He's going to be the second baseman

577
00:24:22,960 --> 00:24:25,240
Speaker 3: for the Dodgers, which is going to give him, most

578
00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:29,879
Speaker 3: likely by May, in all formats, first and second base eligibility.

579
00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:31,800
Speaker 3: You might even have some outfield that are out there.

580
00:24:32,240 --> 00:24:35,720
Speaker 3: He's a great patient hitter, and like you are very

581
00:24:35,760 --> 00:24:38,440
Speaker 3: focused on the White Sox a lot in your kind

582
00:24:38,440 --> 00:24:40,959
Speaker 3: of in your team here, I'm a Dodger guy. I've

583
00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:43,120
Speaker 3: been breaking out a lot of the Dodgers players because

584
00:24:43,119 --> 00:24:45,840
Speaker 3: I think there's undervalued guys. At two forty two, Miguel

585
00:24:45,920 --> 00:24:48,680
Speaker 3: Vargas is like an absolute no brainer for where he's

586
00:24:48,680 --> 00:24:50,359
Speaker 3: going to get to play, the opportunity he's going to

587
00:24:50,440 --> 00:24:53,320
Speaker 3: get the type of patient hitter that he is. And

588
00:24:53,400 --> 00:24:55,480
Speaker 3: you know, even in projections they might be a little

589
00:24:55,480 --> 00:24:58,040
Speaker 3: bit low, but I think if you play a full season,

590
00:24:58,280 --> 00:25:01,320
Speaker 3: the lowest you're going to see is a fifteen ten season,

591
00:25:01,680 --> 00:25:04,119
Speaker 3: and getting those extra stolen bases at second base is

592
00:25:04,119 --> 00:25:06,560
Speaker 3: gonna be awesome. It's a really thin position. If Miguel

593
00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:09,600
Speaker 3: Vargas hits peak, you're gonna be talking about probably like

594
00:25:09,640 --> 00:25:11,840
Speaker 3: a twenty five to fifteen guy, and he's gonna crack

595
00:25:11,920 --> 00:25:15,639
Speaker 3: top fifty overall fantasy production with those Dodgers. So Miguel

596
00:25:15,720 --> 00:25:18,760
Speaker 3: Vargas has the makings of being a league winner, especially

597
00:25:18,800 --> 00:25:19,680
Speaker 3: based on his cost.

598
00:25:20,320 --> 00:25:22,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, two forty two is a pretty good cost, all right.

599
00:25:22,800 --> 00:25:25,280
Speaker 1: And it's funny you mentioned that I'm fading the Dodgers

600
00:25:25,280 --> 00:25:28,600
Speaker 1: this year, especially at their cost, and I'm in on

601
00:25:28,680 --> 00:25:31,000
Speaker 1: the Mariners and I'm in on the White Sox a lot.

602
00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:32,440
Speaker 1: So those are the teams you've.

603
00:25:32,359 --> 00:25:34,280
Speaker 3: Better go make a White Sox team bet with How

604
00:25:34,359 --> 00:25:35,679
Speaker 3: much makes.

605
00:25:35,560 --> 00:25:38,800
Speaker 1: You think I haven't already? All right, Hello, I've already

606
00:25:38,960 --> 00:25:40,359
Speaker 1: believe me. And there's gonna be a show on that

00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:16,879
Speaker 1: I love that in it.

622
00:26:16,960 --> 00:26:17,960
Speaker 2: I think it made a couple.

623
00:26:19,600 --> 00:26:21,520
Speaker 1: I think I locked it in a plus seven hundred

624
00:26:21,560 --> 00:26:23,680
Speaker 1: and I think after the extension it moved to five.

625
00:26:23,920 --> 00:26:25,040
Speaker 2: It might even be lower now.

626
00:26:25,320 --> 00:26:26,760
Speaker 3: I got it like about four to one. But I've

627
00:26:26,760 --> 00:26:29,480
Speaker 3: been making some future bets. I'm not a big big

628
00:26:29,520 --> 00:26:31,440
Speaker 3: futures bet like on the season. I, oh.

629
00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:33,639
Speaker 1: You know, that's my jam, that is your Jenkin.

630
00:26:33,680 --> 00:26:34,480
Speaker 3: But I'm doing a few.

631
00:26:34,960 --> 00:26:38,879
Speaker 1: Joey P loves the futures bets. Joey P pretty pretty

632
00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:41,359
Speaker 1: pretty good on the futures bets. All right, let's and

633
00:26:41,400 --> 00:26:43,639
Speaker 1: I want everybody out there to make money with me,

634
00:26:43,720 --> 00:26:46,159
Speaker 1: So please go watch the video, check it out, and

635
00:26:46,200 --> 00:26:48,280
Speaker 1: go make some investments. Because everything that I'm talking about

636
00:26:48,280 --> 00:26:50,480
Speaker 1: I've invested in. So I'm not one of these people says.

637
00:26:50,280 --> 00:26:51,000
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, go do this.

638
00:26:51,119 --> 00:26:53,879
Speaker 1: No, no, no, I'm doing it with you together. We're a

639
00:26:53,880 --> 00:26:55,600
Speaker 1: team here. All right, let's go to the next one.

640
00:26:55,640 --> 00:26:57,840
Speaker 1: You're top five for me, Freddy Peralta. This is boom

641
00:26:57,880 --> 00:27:00,200
Speaker 1: er Bus. You know, Nick Pollock scared the crap of

642
00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:01,520
Speaker 1: me a couple weeks ago, and we had him on

643
00:27:02,440 --> 00:27:04,040
Speaker 1: him and Alex Faster are gonna come on next week

644
00:27:04,040 --> 00:27:06,199
Speaker 1: and debate some pictures. But you know what, I've been

645
00:27:06,240 --> 00:27:09,000
Speaker 1: watching this very carefully. Steve Gardner kind of put me

646
00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:10,960
Speaker 1: at ease. We got him on about Freddy Parlta some

647
00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:13,919
Speaker 1: other people we've talked about Freddy Parlta with I have

648
00:27:13,960 --> 00:27:16,080
Speaker 1: to buy back in because the strikeout potential is just

649
00:27:16,119 --> 00:27:18,560
Speaker 1: too big. In those leagues where you know you're head

650
00:27:18,600 --> 00:27:20,919
Speaker 1: to head, strikeout categories are head to head points and

651
00:27:20,920 --> 00:27:23,159
Speaker 1: they're two points. I think Freddy parolt is just one

652
00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:24,960
Speaker 1: of those guys that, if he is right and the

653
00:27:24,960 --> 00:27:28,399
Speaker 1: shoulder is not an issue, you're looking at practically a

654
00:27:28,520 --> 00:27:30,679
Speaker 1: number two fantasy starter, and you're getting him at one

655
00:27:30,800 --> 00:27:33,520
Speaker 1: forty three overall. I mean that's an absurd price. That's

656
00:27:33,560 --> 00:27:36,399
Speaker 1: like a fifth starter practically. So I've got to take

657
00:27:36,440 --> 00:27:39,080
Speaker 1: a chance on Freddy Perlta. Yes, there's enormous risk with

658
00:27:39,160 --> 00:27:41,320
Speaker 1: the health. Yes there's risk with the innings.

659
00:27:41,320 --> 00:27:43,879
Speaker 2: I get all that. But the Milwaukee Brewers are kind

660
00:27:43,920 --> 00:27:44,679
Speaker 2: of a weird team right now.

661
00:27:44,720 --> 00:27:46,080
Speaker 1: I think a lot of people are looking at them

662
00:27:46,080 --> 00:27:48,600
Speaker 1: and saying, ah, you know, they can't compete with the Cardinals.

663
00:27:48,640 --> 00:27:50,720
Speaker 2: There's a little chaos going on. Corbyn Burns is on

664
00:27:50,760 --> 00:27:51,280
Speaker 2: his way out.

665
00:27:52,040 --> 00:27:54,040
Speaker 1: I think it's that chaos I want to take advantage

666
00:27:54,040 --> 00:27:55,920
Speaker 1: of because I kind of like the offseason they had.

667
00:27:56,040 --> 00:27:58,560
Speaker 2: I like adding Winker, I like adding Contreres.

668
00:27:58,880 --> 00:28:00,640
Speaker 1: I like what they've done here in the last couple

669
00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:03,800
Speaker 1: of years, adding guys like Teleez and Willia Domas who

670
00:28:03,840 --> 00:28:05,800
Speaker 1: we love here on the show. This is a really

671
00:28:05,840 --> 00:28:08,240
Speaker 1: good pitching staff if everybody's healthy. And Freddy Perraulta to

672
00:28:08,320 --> 00:28:10,240
Speaker 1: me is one of those guys. It is boom Er Bust.

673
00:28:10,680 --> 00:28:13,040
Speaker 1: I will take a shot in Freddy Perlta at one

674
00:28:13,200 --> 00:28:15,600
Speaker 1: forty three for sure. Let's go top four for you.

675
00:28:15,960 --> 00:28:18,919
Speaker 1: I've got zero shares of this next guy, Welsh, but

676
00:28:19,359 --> 00:28:21,600
Speaker 1: everybody we have on the show wants to talk about him,

677
00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:23,840
Speaker 1: and everybody seems to be right, and I guess I'm wrong.

678
00:28:23,840 --> 00:28:24,679
Speaker 2: It's Taylor Ward.

679
00:28:25,080 --> 00:28:28,080
Speaker 3: Taylor Ward one of those guys that, like you said,

680
00:28:28,080 --> 00:28:30,480
Speaker 3: every single person wants. But he's outside the top one

681
00:28:30,560 --> 00:28:33,520
Speaker 3: hundred right now. A low strikeout rate, which you like,

682
00:28:33,600 --> 00:28:36,000
Speaker 3: good batting average at two eighty one. Last year projections

683
00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:38,480
Speaker 3: at least in the two sixties, twenty three and five

684
00:28:38,560 --> 00:28:42,560
Speaker 3: last year projections have him beating those numbers. Double digit

685
00:28:42,600 --> 00:28:45,560
Speaker 3: walk percentages, and if I'm telling you, twenty five ten,

686
00:28:45,680 --> 00:28:47,840
Speaker 3: twenty five to fifteen puts you in a spot where

687
00:28:47,880 --> 00:28:49,680
Speaker 3: you're gonna be a top fifty or seventy five overall

688
00:28:49,680 --> 00:28:52,280
Speaker 3: player Taylor Ward is that he's the highest on my

689
00:28:52,400 --> 00:28:54,000
Speaker 3: list of any of the players I picked, but it's

690
00:28:54,040 --> 00:28:56,760
Speaker 3: one twenty two to ADP right now. He can float

691
00:28:56,800 --> 00:29:00,520
Speaker 3: a little bit higher if all things work out. This

692
00:29:00,640 --> 00:29:03,640
Speaker 3: is that sandwich hitter between like Mike Trout and Otani.

693
00:29:03,680 --> 00:29:05,680
Speaker 3: I'm not saying he'll physically hit between them, but if

694
00:29:05,680 --> 00:29:08,840
Speaker 3: he's hitting right after them, the opportunities are going to

695
00:29:08,880 --> 00:29:12,280
Speaker 3: be immense, immense for Taylor Ward this year. And if

696
00:29:12,320 --> 00:29:14,760
Speaker 3: he can, if he can stay healthy and we can

697
00:29:14,800 --> 00:29:16,560
Speaker 3: get maybe more than one hundred and thirty five games,

698
00:29:16,560 --> 00:29:19,560
Speaker 3: we could play that full season. I'm optimistic you're gonna

699
00:29:19,680 --> 00:29:22,520
Speaker 3: minimum get a twenty five to ten season. And though

700
00:29:22,560 --> 00:29:25,240
Speaker 3: it may not be the biggest league league winning it

701
00:29:25,600 --> 00:29:27,720
Speaker 3: at a position that's a little bit questionable, an outfield,

702
00:29:27,840 --> 00:29:29,720
Speaker 3: it really has the potential to be like a solid

703
00:29:29,760 --> 00:29:32,360
Speaker 3: outfielder two coming up. And you know, like I said,

704
00:29:32,360 --> 00:29:35,360
Speaker 3: break maybe that top seventy five overall. So Taylor Ward

705
00:29:35,680 --> 00:29:36,360
Speaker 3: making the list.

706
00:29:36,800 --> 00:29:38,480
Speaker 2: Get ready for my White Sox run.

707
00:29:38,520 --> 00:29:40,400
Speaker 3: Well, this is what I'm ready.

708
00:29:40,760 --> 00:29:42,400
Speaker 1: Number four, Lucas Giolito.

709
00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:44,160
Speaker 2: We've talked about him so much of the podcast.

710
00:29:44,160 --> 00:29:45,520
Speaker 1: Well I'm not going to be labor it too much.

711
00:29:45,560 --> 00:29:49,280
Speaker 1: But he's going at one forty one forty. That's nuts,

712
00:29:49,400 --> 00:29:52,520
Speaker 1: okay for a guy who's had multiple two hundred inning seasons,

713
00:29:52,520 --> 00:29:54,800
Speaker 1: for a guy who's had multiple seasons of three and

714
00:29:54,840 --> 00:29:58,560
Speaker 1: a half eras or lower in the American League. Come on, man,

715
00:29:58,680 --> 00:30:00,760
Speaker 1: like it. Just it was bad last last year. He

716
00:30:00,920 --> 00:30:03,920
Speaker 1: was overweight, the mechanics got off. Just crumple it up,

717
00:30:03,960 --> 00:30:05,680
Speaker 1: throw it out the window. Let's never talk about it again,

718
00:30:05,840 --> 00:30:09,200
Speaker 1: and let's just move on, because leaving Lucas Giolito to

719
00:30:09,200 --> 00:30:10,440
Speaker 1: the one forties is absurd.

720
00:30:10,720 --> 00:30:12,080
Speaker 2: If you're like me and you want to hit.

721
00:30:12,040 --> 00:30:16,160
Speaker 1: Hitting early in your drafts, is the perfect guy, along

722
00:30:16,160 --> 00:30:17,840
Speaker 1: with guys like Peralta and some of the guys at

723
00:30:17,840 --> 00:30:20,400
Speaker 1: Welsh Is gonna mention next to go ahead and load

724
00:30:20,440 --> 00:30:22,320
Speaker 1: up your rotation with these guys, because they've been there

725
00:30:22,320 --> 00:30:24,400
Speaker 1: and done that. They've pitched like aces. It was just

726
00:30:24,400 --> 00:30:27,280
Speaker 1: a year ago this time where Lucas Giolito was looked

727
00:30:27,280 --> 00:30:29,680
Speaker 1: at in fantasy as basically like he's a one a starter,

728
00:30:30,040 --> 00:30:32,400
Speaker 1: like he's not quite elite maybe, but he's right at

729
00:30:32,160 --> 00:30:35,160
Speaker 1: that room where we want to put him in that conversation.

730
00:30:35,680 --> 00:30:36,959
Speaker 2: Now one bad season. He's not.

731
00:30:37,240 --> 00:30:39,280
Speaker 1: I'm not buying it, but I am buying human drafts.

732
00:30:39,360 --> 00:30:43,000
Speaker 1: Lucas Giolito one forty, number three for you, Welsh top three.

733
00:30:43,080 --> 00:30:45,640
Speaker 1: We're getting sexy year, and this is the Welsh guy

734
00:30:45,840 --> 00:30:47,040
Speaker 1: I feel like of the offseason.

735
00:30:47,120 --> 00:30:48,520
Speaker 3: You said, by the way, if Anyon wants to check

736
00:30:48,560 --> 00:30:50,080
Speaker 3: out on my Instagram. I had to a picture with

737
00:30:50,160 --> 00:30:52,840
Speaker 3: Lucas Gielito the other day and said, I will make

738
00:30:52,920 --> 00:30:55,680
Speaker 3: him look even skinnier. He is huge man. He makes

739
00:30:55,720 --> 00:30:56,440
Speaker 3: me feel sure.

740
00:30:56,480 --> 00:30:58,680
Speaker 1: If you're a tall guy we've hung out, I'm short,

741
00:30:58,720 --> 00:31:00,880
Speaker 1: you're tall, but he is taller than you.

742
00:31:00,920 --> 00:31:03,440
Speaker 4: So that's really It was like, I'm like Lucas and

743
00:31:03,480 --> 00:31:06,480
Speaker 4: also he lost all that weight well, and he looked

744
00:31:06,520 --> 00:31:08,480
Speaker 4: and he also like, you know, he lost a bunch

745
00:31:08,480 --> 00:31:10,440
Speaker 4: of weight, and then standing next to me, it'll look

746
00:31:10,480 --> 00:31:11,680
Speaker 4: like he lost like eighty pounds.

747
00:31:11,680 --> 00:31:15,560
Speaker 3: It's incredible. But where this is your White Sox run,

748
00:31:15,880 --> 00:31:18,320
Speaker 3: this is the Welsh run, So I don't need to

749
00:31:18,360 --> 00:31:21,080
Speaker 3: go crazy about this. Number three. Jeffrey Springs, you should

750
00:31:21,080 --> 00:31:23,800
Speaker 3: know that was coming. Jeffrey Springs of the chains throwing

751
00:31:23,840 --> 00:31:26,600
Speaker 3: more change ups this past year. Strikeout numbers in the

752
00:31:26,640 --> 00:31:30,840
Speaker 3: same equivalent range of like you, Darvish, effectiveness was in

753
00:31:30,880 --> 00:31:33,040
Speaker 3: the same general range as like Zach Gallon. He had

754
00:31:33,040 --> 00:31:35,080
Speaker 3: a really low era. He had an ex fip Sierra

755
00:31:35,200 --> 00:31:38,400
Speaker 3: that was also in the low threes. He's getting just

756
00:31:38,480 --> 00:31:40,680
Speaker 3: a bunch of movement on pitches and he's going to

757
00:31:40,720 --> 00:31:43,400
Speaker 3: be this year. There's been a little bit of an uptick.

758
00:31:43,480 --> 00:31:44,960
Speaker 3: I think we saw and I saw a couple of

759
00:31:44,960 --> 00:31:46,880
Speaker 3: people talking Tovie about it was like the slider or

760
00:31:46,880 --> 00:31:50,720
Speaker 3: something that was getting more movement, which is just absurd.

761
00:31:51,160 --> 00:31:53,640
Speaker 3: And he's going to be in this full front line starter.

762
00:31:53,760 --> 00:31:55,680
Speaker 3: I am all about Jeffery Springs. I think he's one

763
00:31:55,720 --> 00:31:59,040
Speaker 3: of the biggest smashing deals. One eighty five is crazy.

764
00:31:59,360 --> 00:32:01,480
Speaker 3: Also in many spots can be a spark for you

765
00:32:01,520 --> 00:32:04,560
Speaker 3: a starting pitcher as relief pitcher. Jeffrey Springs has to

766
00:32:04,600 --> 00:32:06,240
Speaker 3: be on all my teams. So when he's not, I

767
00:32:06,280 --> 00:32:08,239
Speaker 3: get grouchy about it. Like what happened in the mock

768
00:32:08,320 --> 00:32:10,479
Speaker 3: draft that Joe and I did where he swooped in.

769
00:32:10,840 --> 00:32:14,240
Speaker 3: Jeffrey Springs no doubt league winner for me at number three.

770
00:32:14,720 --> 00:32:17,240
Speaker 1: All right, another White Sox, the second one here on

771
00:32:17,360 --> 00:32:21,840
Speaker 1: my list, Andrew vaugh first base outfielder. I have done

772
00:32:21,920 --> 00:32:24,880
Speaker 1: multiple videos, multiple podcasts. We've talked about Andre vaugh Okay,

773
00:32:25,280 --> 00:32:28,320
Speaker 1: Andrew vaugh coming out of college was a can't miss bat.

774
00:32:28,360 --> 00:32:31,080
Speaker 1: I mean, the guy just absolutely crushed NCAA. Like, yeah,

775
00:32:31,160 --> 00:32:33,840
Speaker 1: like an ops of eleven hundred, you can get four

776
00:32:33,880 --> 00:32:36,160
Speaker 1: hundred one year. It's nuts. Like, this guy is a

777
00:32:36,200 --> 00:32:38,960
Speaker 1: pure hitter. They asked him to play the outfield, They

778
00:32:38,960 --> 00:32:42,240
Speaker 1: asked him to DH. Converting to DH is not easy.

779
00:32:42,320 --> 00:32:44,720
Speaker 1: It is not a day off. Okay, it's really hard,

780
00:32:44,760 --> 00:32:47,040
Speaker 1: especially for young players to make that transition to just

781
00:32:47,240 --> 00:32:49,960
Speaker 1: hitting four times a game and staying loose and all that.

782
00:32:50,240 --> 00:32:51,840
Speaker 1: So they really put him through the ringer, and they

783
00:32:51,920 --> 00:32:53,400
Speaker 1: never put him through the minor leagues. He had like

784
00:32:53,440 --> 00:32:55,160
Speaker 1: fifty games in the minor leagues, and I was like, okay,

785
00:32:55,280 --> 00:32:58,000
Speaker 1: let's bring you up here because they're a very aggressive organization.

786
00:32:58,480 --> 00:33:00,280
Speaker 2: Some of the projections on Andrewvaughn.

787
00:32:59,840 --> 00:33:02,440
Speaker 1: I think are really light, Like ATC has been twenty

788
00:33:02,480 --> 00:33:03,760
Speaker 1: one home runs and seventy five rebies.

789
00:33:03,760 --> 00:33:04,480
Speaker 2: I think that's really light.

790
00:33:04,520 --> 00:33:06,360
Speaker 1: But if you look at zips, they've got him for

791
00:33:06,440 --> 00:33:10,080
Speaker 1: twenty eight homers eighty two RBI. If you can get

792
00:33:10,120 --> 00:33:12,560
Speaker 1: that at a player one thirty four. We talk about

793
00:33:12,600 --> 00:33:14,840
Speaker 1: first base being light, in the corner spots being light.

794
00:33:15,280 --> 00:33:19,720
Speaker 1: Andrew Vaughn has position eligibility. Andrew Vaughn does have thirty

795
00:33:19,720 --> 00:33:21,960
Speaker 1: home run upside. Yeah, I said it, thirty home run

796
00:33:22,040 --> 00:33:24,440
Speaker 1: upside if everything breaks right. And I think getting back

797
00:33:24,480 --> 00:33:27,440
Speaker 1: to his natural position of first base mentally just puts

798
00:33:27,480 --> 00:33:29,320
Speaker 1: him at ease. And I think as long as he

799
00:33:29,320 --> 00:33:31,360
Speaker 1: gets in that five or six spot in the batting order,

800
00:33:31,640 --> 00:33:33,480
Speaker 1: things are going to go really well for Andrew Vaughn

801
00:33:33,520 --> 00:33:36,200
Speaker 1: because I think people just lose patience with players and

802
00:33:36,240 --> 00:33:39,200
Speaker 1: they don't give him enough credit for learning on the job.

803
00:33:39,320 --> 00:33:41,959
Speaker 1: And that's what he's been doing for two years and

804
00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:45,080
Speaker 1: he hasn't failed. He just hasn't blown the doors off

805
00:33:45,120 --> 00:33:47,480
Speaker 1: because he's still a very young player. So I think

806
00:33:47,600 --> 00:33:50,000
Speaker 1: was asking a lot of him to develop at the

807
00:33:50,040 --> 00:33:52,440
Speaker 1: major league level against top tier pitching. It's asking a

808
00:33:52,480 --> 00:33:54,840
Speaker 1: lot of any prospect, and the White Sox I think

809
00:33:54,880 --> 00:33:57,000
Speaker 1: asks too much of Andrew vaugh Not everybody comes in

810
00:33:57,120 --> 00:34:00,200
Speaker 1: and as Julio Rodriguez so Andrew on this year, what

811
00:34:00,400 --> 00:34:05,200
Speaker 1: it's breakout time time for number two on your list?

812
00:34:05,200 --> 00:34:06,160
Speaker 2: Here? Welsh? Who is it?

813
00:34:06,360 --> 00:34:11,080
Speaker 3: Large new Bar of course not Lars newpar I almost

814
00:34:11,160 --> 00:34:13,440
Speaker 3: I'm almost new Bar. I gotta teel you like, we

815
00:34:13,520 --> 00:34:15,440
Speaker 3: got to stop doing these type of lists because it's

816
00:34:15,480 --> 00:34:17,760
Speaker 3: like I just have to bring him up in every aspect.

817
00:34:17,800 --> 00:34:20,279
Speaker 1: You know, the qualifications again one share because I got

818
00:34:20,360 --> 00:34:21,200
Speaker 1: zero shares of you.

819
00:34:21,200 --> 00:34:22,720
Speaker 2: You should get one this year.

820
00:34:22,800 --> 00:34:24,560
Speaker 3: Just for you when you talk about it. Just so

821
00:34:24,680 --> 00:34:26,759
Speaker 3: happens that two of my favorite players this year have

822
00:34:26,880 --> 00:34:30,040
Speaker 3: post one eighty one hundred AP so they fall into

823
00:34:30,080 --> 00:34:32,720
Speaker 3: so many of these categories of like breakout and sleeper,

824
00:34:33,080 --> 00:34:35,880
Speaker 3: and they're going to fall into this and league winners.

825
00:34:35,880 --> 00:34:38,080
Speaker 3: This is the type of guy and large new Bar.

826
00:34:38,200 --> 00:34:40,120
Speaker 3: You guys know I you know he's worked so hard

827
00:34:40,120 --> 00:34:41,920
Speaker 3: in the last two years on the hard hit with

828
00:34:42,040 --> 00:34:44,480
Speaker 3: drive line two straight years. Last year it was about

829
00:34:44,760 --> 00:34:47,799
Speaker 3: really barreling and hitting I'm sorry, hitting it hard, hard,

830
00:34:47,800 --> 00:34:50,719
Speaker 3: hard hard. This year it's about barreling those hard hits

831
00:34:50,760 --> 00:34:52,840
Speaker 3: he talked about with you know Sorrius a couple of

832
00:34:52,880 --> 00:34:55,360
Speaker 3: weeks ago. I just believe all the changes that he

833
00:34:55,400 --> 00:34:59,040
Speaker 3: has made is going to be fruitful. Expected batting average

834
00:34:59,120 --> 00:35:02,520
Speaker 3: higher lalast year, I think, and projections have him around

835
00:35:02,560 --> 00:35:06,520
Speaker 3: hitting two forty. They're not crazy optimistic. Statistically roughly on

836
00:35:06,560 --> 00:35:09,520
Speaker 3: a full season twenty ten from the bat X, I

837
00:35:09,560 --> 00:35:11,879
Speaker 3: think he could push thirty. I think he could steal

838
00:35:11,880 --> 00:35:13,399
Speaker 3: a little bit more, and I think he could lead

839
00:35:13,400 --> 00:35:16,200
Speaker 3: off for the Cardinals. Lars Newbar is a no brainer.

840
00:35:16,200 --> 00:35:20,080
Speaker 3: It's a one eighty five ADP incredible. Since March first

841
00:35:20,120 --> 00:35:23,359
Speaker 3: on NFBC drafts, he has never gone inside the top

842
00:35:23,400 --> 00:35:26,279
Speaker 3: one sixty. I have him in the one thirties. I'm

843
00:35:26,280 --> 00:35:28,239
Speaker 3: all about Lars Newpar. I think he's a league winner

844
00:35:28,280 --> 00:35:30,759
Speaker 3: at it again, that position that stinks Taylor Ward. Lars

845
00:35:30,880 --> 00:35:33,440
Speaker 3: Newpar will be on a lot of my teams as

846
00:35:33,480 --> 00:35:36,520
Speaker 3: hopefully my outfielder three to four. They might even be

847
00:35:36,560 --> 00:35:38,920
Speaker 3: two to three. Pinning the type of format, Lars Newpar

848
00:35:39,000 --> 00:35:40,160
Speaker 3: number two, no shock.

849
00:35:40,560 --> 00:35:42,239
Speaker 1: Some of the minor league numbers on him just hold

850
00:35:42,280 --> 00:35:45,080
Speaker 1: me back a little bit. But again, maybe he's made

851
00:35:45,120 --> 00:35:48,640
Speaker 1: that jump like it happened sometimes. You know, sometimes players

852
00:35:48,640 --> 00:35:50,719
Speaker 1: they're you know, up and down the minor leagues and

853
00:35:50,760 --> 00:35:53,480
Speaker 1: then they just something clicks or something fixing their swing

854
00:35:53,840 --> 00:35:55,799
Speaker 1: and they make that jump. Maybe that's what Newpar had.

855
00:35:55,800 --> 00:35:57,319
Speaker 1: But iDrive line helps a little bit more.

856
00:35:57,400 --> 00:35:59,560
Speaker 3: Two straight years the drive line that it helps us.

857
00:35:59,800 --> 00:36:02,759
Speaker 1: The number two for me, I mentioned it before lance Lynn.

858
00:36:02,800 --> 00:36:04,160
Speaker 1: So there's my run of white Sox.

859
00:36:04,160 --> 00:36:04,560
Speaker 2: There you go.

860
00:36:04,640 --> 00:36:07,200
Speaker 1: So Gelido, Vaughn and lance Lynn. He's number two. He's

861
00:36:07,200 --> 00:36:09,239
Speaker 1: going at one twenty nine. All the reasons that Welsh

862
00:36:09,320 --> 00:36:11,279
Speaker 1: already mentioned. So I won't belabor it. But once again

863
00:36:11,320 --> 00:36:14,080
Speaker 1: a player that has proven himself, and he proved it

864
00:36:14,120 --> 00:36:15,839
Speaker 1: last year of his last fourteen starts with a two

865
00:36:15,880 --> 00:36:17,360
Speaker 1: and a half VRA. I don't care if his THERA

866
00:36:17,560 --> 00:36:19,640
Speaker 1: was seven when he came back from the injury. I

867
00:36:19,640 --> 00:36:22,640
Speaker 1: don't care it was six starts. You look at the

868
00:36:22,680 --> 00:36:25,040
Speaker 1: body of work and it's a big body. When you're

869
00:36:25,080 --> 00:36:27,680
Speaker 1: looking at the body of lance Lynn. It's good enough.

870
00:36:27,840 --> 00:36:29,759
Speaker 1: It's good enough for me to invest in. And if

871
00:36:29,800 --> 00:36:31,759
Speaker 1: you gave me a think about this, like if you

872
00:36:31,840 --> 00:36:34,400
Speaker 1: went early, hitting right, and you ended up with a

873
00:36:34,440 --> 00:36:39,000
Speaker 1: pitching staff that let's say had Alec Manoa, then Giolito

874
00:36:39,040 --> 00:36:41,960
Speaker 1: and lance Lynn, I guarantee you that dog will hunt.

875
00:36:42,040 --> 00:36:43,239
Speaker 2: I guarantee you you will be.

876
00:36:43,200 --> 00:36:45,880
Speaker 1: Competitive in that league. You'll also be competitive in the

877
00:36:45,880 --> 00:36:48,400
Speaker 1: craft service table too, because those are some big boys

878
00:36:48,440 --> 00:36:52,759
Speaker 1: that are gonna well, not Gielito anymore. All salads for Gilito.

879
00:36:52,920 --> 00:36:55,200
Speaker 2: So he's gone Keto he's gone completely different now.

880
00:36:55,239 --> 00:36:59,080
Speaker 1: But seriously, lance Lynn, this guy's a stud, okay, and

881
00:36:59,200 --> 00:37:01,719
Speaker 1: the White Sox have chancy or I think in this

882
00:37:02,080 --> 00:37:04,919
Speaker 1: turnover they've had last season at the manager spot too.

883
00:37:05,400 --> 00:37:06,920
Speaker 1: I think you might get a different feel from this

884
00:37:06,960 --> 00:37:10,920
Speaker 1: White Sox team. And I think they're very dangerous if healthy,

885
00:37:11,120 --> 00:37:15,120
Speaker 1: especially with Jimenez and Robert healthy. My goodness, those are

886
00:37:15,120 --> 00:37:17,960
Speaker 1: two really special talents. And I think the offense is

887
00:37:17,960 --> 00:37:20,640
Speaker 1: going to be there potentially for lance Lynn and Gilito two,

888
00:37:20,880 --> 00:37:23,440
Speaker 1: which brings us to our number ones Welsh one of

889
00:37:23,480 --> 00:37:25,680
Speaker 1: our favorite things. This is like Oprah's Favorite Things list.

890
00:37:25,719 --> 00:37:28,160
Speaker 1: I feel like, so go ahead hit them with number one.

891
00:37:28,520 --> 00:37:30,360
Speaker 1: Top player outside of the one hundred of could be

892
00:37:30,400 --> 00:37:31,000
Speaker 1: a league winner.

893
00:37:31,600 --> 00:37:34,160
Speaker 3: You get an ace, You get an ace, and you

894
00:37:34,160 --> 00:37:38,279
Speaker 3: get an ace when you take read debt meers outside

895
00:37:38,360 --> 00:37:41,920
Speaker 3: the top two hundred read debtmers. This spring has shown

896
00:37:42,000 --> 00:37:46,480
Speaker 3: an increased velo on his slider low eighties into the

897
00:37:46,520 --> 00:37:48,920
Speaker 3: mid eighties, pushing eighty eight. We are almost in a

898
00:37:48,960 --> 00:37:52,279
Speaker 3: power slider, my friends. Last year, fastball sitting in that

899
00:37:52,440 --> 00:37:57,160
Speaker 3: low nineties, high eighties. This year it's been sitting mid nineties,

900
00:37:57,200 --> 00:38:00,520
Speaker 3: pumping even ninety six ninety seven. Those are incredible changes.

901
00:38:00,640 --> 00:38:03,160
Speaker 3: Last year he got sent down for a bit, comes

902
00:38:03,200 --> 00:38:05,879
Speaker 3: back up. July had a one ERA, June had an

903
00:38:05,960 --> 00:38:09,640
Speaker 3: under three ERA this spring. With the command, he's definitely

904
00:38:09,640 --> 00:38:13,160
Speaker 3: a command pumping type of pitcher. With those VELO increases,

905
00:38:13,239 --> 00:38:16,480
Speaker 3: it is a huge boon. And when you're talking about

906
00:38:17,000 --> 00:38:20,280
Speaker 3: a pitcher outside the top two hundred on a big,

907
00:38:20,480 --> 00:38:23,640
Speaker 3: powerful offensive team what they've been lacking, you might walk

908
00:38:23,680 --> 00:38:27,239
Speaker 3: into extra wins if those if the velo numbers with

909
00:38:27,360 --> 00:38:30,680
Speaker 3: that command end up working out, you could be pushing

910
00:38:30,760 --> 00:38:34,240
Speaker 3: a very low three three ERA. I think Reed Debtmers

911
00:38:34,520 --> 00:38:37,360
Speaker 3: could push top fifteen sp this year, and if that

912
00:38:37,480 --> 00:38:41,560
Speaker 3: happens post two hundred, he is the epitome of league

913
00:38:41,600 --> 00:38:44,799
Speaker 3: winners right here. This is the Kyle Wright last year,

914
00:38:44,840 --> 00:38:47,640
Speaker 3: where Kyle Wright was almost undrafted and pleasures out. Reed

915
00:38:47,640 --> 00:38:50,399
Speaker 3: Debtmers has the potential to be the Kyle Wright this year.

916
00:38:50,440 --> 00:38:53,040
Speaker 3: So he's my number one league winner.

917
00:38:53,480 --> 00:38:53,960
Speaker 2: I like that.

918
00:38:54,000 --> 00:38:55,440
Speaker 1: I like that a lot in detmvers is a big

919
00:38:55,520 --> 00:38:58,400
Speaker 1: target of mine. My number one guy. My surprise with

920
00:38:58,440 --> 00:39:01,920
Speaker 1: people number one twenty seven, Nick Castillanos, that's right, he's

921
00:39:01,960 --> 00:39:04,799
Speaker 1: going outside the top one hundred. Last year he was

922
00:39:04,840 --> 00:39:08,239
Speaker 1: going well within the top seventy five. Nick Casianos because

923
00:39:08,239 --> 00:39:10,200
Speaker 1: he was coming off a monster season. He got a

924
00:39:10,200 --> 00:39:12,600
Speaker 1: lot of hype because you know, he's a free agent

925
00:39:12,680 --> 00:39:15,960
Speaker 1: coming off a thirty four ninety five, one hundred season.

926
00:39:15,960 --> 00:39:17,560
Speaker 2: That's a pretty good season. Last time I.

927
00:39:17,600 --> 00:39:19,799
Speaker 1: Checked, and things didn't go well, you're one of a

928
00:39:19,800 --> 00:39:23,120
Speaker 1: big contract. Oh what a surprise. Let's just dial up

929
00:39:23,120 --> 00:39:24,400
Speaker 1: back a little bit. Let's go back in the way

930
00:39:24,440 --> 00:39:26,320
Speaker 1: back machine. Let's look at some of the slugging percentages

931
00:39:26,360 --> 00:39:28,520
Speaker 1: for him. Okay, in twenty twenty one, five seventy six

932
00:39:28,560 --> 00:39:31,160
Speaker 1: and twenty twenty four eighty six and twenty nineteen five

933
00:39:31,280 --> 00:39:34,360
Speaker 1: twenty nine in twenty eighteen, five hundred in twenty seventeen

934
00:39:34,400 --> 00:39:37,360
Speaker 1: to four ninety in twenty sixteen, four ninety six. You

935
00:39:37,400 --> 00:39:39,120
Speaker 1: see where I'm going with this, folks, You see where

936
00:39:39,120 --> 00:39:42,719
Speaker 1: I'm going. Let's not hyperventilate about a down season. It

937
00:39:42,840 --> 00:39:47,440
Speaker 1: happened sometimes. Philadelphia is a very home run friendly environment.

938
00:39:47,719 --> 00:39:50,160
Speaker 1: It's a very good offense. Bryce Harper is out of

939
00:39:50,160 --> 00:39:52,880
Speaker 1: this lineup. That's gonna move Castianos up into the probably

940
00:39:52,880 --> 00:39:55,080
Speaker 1: the five spot. That's where he seems to be projected

941
00:39:55,160 --> 00:39:57,920
Speaker 1: right now. And as my voice tends to go. Maybe

942
00:39:57,960 --> 00:40:00,040
Speaker 1: this was the whole thing all along my brain. I

943
00:40:00,040 --> 00:40:01,960
Speaker 1: ain't just wanted to go to Philadelphia for this number

944
00:40:01,960 --> 00:40:04,520
Speaker 1: one spot the entire time. Who knows that when my

945
00:40:04,640 --> 00:40:07,759
Speaker 1: voice goes, I become a resident of South Philadelphia. But

946
00:40:07,760 --> 00:40:10,839
Speaker 1: these things happen. I will say this about Casianos. You're

947
00:40:10,840 --> 00:40:14,239
Speaker 1: looking for a player in oltfield spot where we're looking

948
00:40:14,280 --> 00:40:17,200
Speaker 1: for outfielders all the time. At one twenty seven, he

949
00:40:17,280 --> 00:40:19,160
Speaker 1: has a chance to get back to thirty home runs.

950
00:40:19,200 --> 00:40:21,239
Speaker 1: He has a chance to get back to eighty five

951
00:40:21,400 --> 00:40:24,280
Speaker 1: eighty five sort of potential here. And he's a player

952
00:40:24,280 --> 00:40:26,799
Speaker 1: that historically in terms of batting average, has always been

953
00:40:26,800 --> 00:40:29,839
Speaker 1: pretty solid. So Nick Casianos has been a good hitter

954
00:40:29,880 --> 00:40:32,480
Speaker 1: since his days in Detroit. I am not worried at all.

955
00:40:32,560 --> 00:40:34,560
Speaker 1: He's had some down moments before in his career and

956
00:40:34,600 --> 00:40:37,000
Speaker 1: bounce back. In fact, if you look at twenty twenty,

957
00:40:37,040 --> 00:40:39,160
Speaker 1: which I know is the COVID year, his batting average

958
00:40:39,160 --> 00:40:40,759
Speaker 1: is at two twenty five. The next year he came

959
00:40:40,800 --> 00:40:43,360
Speaker 1: back at three to ZHO nine. So let's not panic

960
00:40:43,360 --> 00:40:46,960
Speaker 1: about Nick Casianos. He is just a year and change

961
00:40:47,000 --> 00:40:50,000
Speaker 1: removed from a dramatically good season in fact, the best

962
00:40:50,239 --> 00:40:52,880
Speaker 1: of his career. Let's just chalk it up to the

963
00:40:52,920 --> 00:40:54,920
Speaker 1: first year in a new city with a big contract,

964
00:40:54,920 --> 00:40:57,200
Speaker 1: in a lot of expectations. But Casianos, I think is

965
00:40:57,239 --> 00:41:00,560
Speaker 1: going to be just fine. Let's recap the names. The

966
