The next era 21 00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:03,040 Speaker 1: is yours, and now, without further ado, here are the 22 00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:05,560 Speaker 1: names to add for Week six in Major League Baseball. 23 00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:09,000 Speaker 1: The first guy on this week's list is Jaron Duran, 24 00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:11,679 Speaker 1: outfield er four of the Boston Red Sox. It seems 25 00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:13,880 Speaker 1: to be that twenty twenty three might be the year 26 00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:16,720 Speaker 1: of redemption for prospects that have failed in the past, 27 00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:19,760 Speaker 1: and Jared Duran is definitely one of those guys. So far, 28 00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:22,120 Speaker 1: of fifteen games with the Red Sox since being called up, 29 00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:25,480 Speaker 1: he has got two homers, eleven ribies, two steals, and 30 00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:28,200 Speaker 1: he's hitting almost four hundred. Now, of course that's not 31 00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:30,840 Speaker 1: going to last. That's gonna come back down, but it's 32 00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:33,680 Speaker 1: great to see a little power, a little speed, and 33 00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:35,720 Speaker 1: all of the things that we were excited about Jared 34 00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:38,480 Speaker 1: Duran last year starting to show at the major league level. 35 00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:40,920 Speaker 1: You got to watch the strikeout rate still a little 36 00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:43,400 Speaker 1: on the higher side, but still. Duran is a young 37 00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:45,840 Speaker 1: athletic player who should be able to continue use that 38 00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:49,520 Speaker 1: athleticism as the season goes on. And right now he 39 00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:51,840 Speaker 1: is rostered in roughly half of your league, So you 40 00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:54,600 Speaker 1: better get on this because Jared Duran's not gonna last 41 00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:58,320 Speaker 1: too much longer. Now, speaking of prospect redemption stories, I 42 00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:02,000 Speaker 1: offer you, ladies and gentlemen, Nick Senzel, outfielder slash third 43 00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:05,600 Speaker 1: baseman of the Cincinnati Reds. He is roster and roughly 44 00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:08,519 Speaker 1: thirty percent of leagues already, and it has been a 45 00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:10,600 Speaker 1: wild road for Nick Senzel. This is a player that 46 00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:13,000 Speaker 1: has spent more time on the il than actual time 47 00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:15,720 Speaker 1: playing Major League baseball. And no, that's not an exaggeration, folks, 48 00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:19,120 Speaker 1: that is a true stat. Over eighteen games this year though, 49 00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:21,680 Speaker 1: in sixty at bats, he's got three homers, twelve RBI, 50 00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:24,880 Speaker 1: two steals, hitting two ninety, and he's also got almost 51 00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:27,760 Speaker 1: an even k walk ratio. Senzel was one of the 52 00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:31,239 Speaker 1: most polished college hitters in his class, taken second overall 53 00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:33,200 Speaker 1: that year in the draft. I thought he was going 54 00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:35,919 Speaker 1: to be a slam dunk easy transition to the major leagues. 55 00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:38,760 Speaker 1: It's never been that case, and injuries have really hindered 56 00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:41,760 Speaker 1: his development. Perhaps he's turned a corner. Perhaps this is 57 00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:44,120 Speaker 1: just an anomaly and a really good stretch here of 58 00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:46,359 Speaker 1: a couple of weeks, But regardless, I think it's worth 59 00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:49,280 Speaker 1: throwing a few bucks on Senzel. Just to see if 60 00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:51,680 Speaker 1: he is indeed more of a late bloomer. After all 61 00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:55,920 Speaker 1: these injuries are hopefully behind him, Perhaps Senzel could contribute 62 00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:58,760 Speaker 1: to your fantasy team in twenty twenty three. This next 63 00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:03,600 Speaker 1: one is my Bay j Wan Bay, outfielder, second baseman 64 00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:06,560 Speaker 1: for the Pittsburgh Pirates. Now he's rossing roughly half of 65 00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:08,680 Speaker 1: leagues already, and this is much more of a rodo 66 00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:11,160 Speaker 1: play because this is not a player with a lot 67 00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:14,239 Speaker 1: of power or necessarily a great batting average. He's hitting 68 00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:16,639 Speaker 1: just two forty seven on the year, but Jiwan Bay 69 00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:19,720 Speaker 1: is on pace for over fifty stolen bases this season, 70 00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:21,959 Speaker 1: so just wrap your mind around that. If he is 71 00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:24,679 Speaker 1: still somehow floating around, he might be more of a 72 00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:28,000 Speaker 1: two category player. He does have seventeen runs scored this year, 73 00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:30,840 Speaker 1: so that's also a little helpful. But Jiwan Bey is 74 00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:33,959 Speaker 1: absolutely gonna contribute, and nowadays, with the way stolen bases 75 00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:36,800 Speaker 1: are taking off here in Major League Baseball in twenty 76 00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:39,360 Speaker 1: twenty three, he almost can't have enough of them. He 77 00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:41,200 Speaker 1: might be a player you have to roster just to 78 00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:44,400 Speaker 1: block somebody else from taking him, because he can contribute there, 79 00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:47,600 Speaker 1: especially in those head to head category leagues, Jiwan Bae 80 00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:49,880 Speaker 1: can be a helpful guy to have, and he may 81 00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:51,960 Speaker 1: be useful in those head to head category leagues. Two 82 00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:53,920 Speaker 1: in good matchups where you know the pitchers don't have 83 00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:56,000 Speaker 1: a good pickoff move or the catchers are bad at 84 00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:58,680 Speaker 1: throwing guys out. Bay is a stolen base machine so 85 00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:01,160 Speaker 1: far this year. And again, let me reiterate, you can't 86 00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:04,200 Speaker 1: get enough steals right now. Next on the list another 87 00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:08,440 Speaker 1: young pitcher, Bryce Miller of the Seattle Mariners, rostered in 88 00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:11,800 Speaker 1: about thirty percent of leagues already. Now when it comes 89 00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:14,960 Speaker 1: to Bryce Miller, although he did have a good spring, 90 00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:17,000 Speaker 1: things were rough for him in Double A. He was 91 00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:19,480 Speaker 1: pitching to a six ERA there before getting the call 92 00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:22,680 Speaker 1: after some injuries opened some spots here with Robbie Ray 93 00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:24,920 Speaker 1: going on the IL for the year, and Bryce Miller 94 00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:26,800 Speaker 1: is going to get a good long look. It was 95 00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:29,560 Speaker 1: a great first look for him in that initial start. 96 00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:33,000 Speaker 1: Six innings, ten strikeouts, two hits. So get ready to 97 00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:36,440 Speaker 1: pay for Bryce Miller. But again because the Seattle Mariners 98 00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:38,480 Speaker 1: say that they're going to give him a long leash. 99 00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:40,719 Speaker 1: If he does struggle or is a little up and down, 100 00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:43,760 Speaker 1: as most young pitchers are, he's still worth a decent 101 00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:46,680 Speaker 1: sized fab investment, So get ready to pay, but get 102 00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:49,000 Speaker 1: ready to play Bryce Miller because it seems like he 103 00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:52,360 Speaker 1: might get a nice long run this rotation, regardless of performance, 104 00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:55,440 Speaker 1: and that's a good thing. Hopefully this first start is 105 00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:57,440 Speaker 1: a harbinger of good things to come in the future 106 00:04:57,640 --> 00:05:00,360 Speaker 1: for Bryce Miller. Ed last this week on the list. 107 00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:05,320 Speaker 1: Carlos Estevez of the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, the 108 00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:07,800 Speaker 1: relief pitcher. Now he's rostered in over sixty percent of 109 00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:10,120 Speaker 1: leagues already. And I know a couple weeks ago, I 110 00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:13,760 Speaker 1: told you to pick up Kehata in this grouping of closers, 111 00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:16,200 Speaker 1: and guess what. Now he is out with an elbow injury, 112 00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:19,760 Speaker 1: and Carlos Estevez is six for six and save opportunities. 113 00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:22,000 Speaker 1: This Angels bullpen might be the bane of my existence 114 00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:24,880 Speaker 1: all year long, but we're always looking for saves, and 115 00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:26,960 Speaker 1: right now he's the guy that's getting them. So far 116 00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:29,000 Speaker 1: in the season. He's also had a nice strikeout rate, 117 00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:31,760 Speaker 1: two eighteen k's and just fourteen to two thirds innings 118 00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:33,880 Speaker 1: with a one point two to three ERA and a 119 00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:37,480 Speaker 1: one zero two whip. I'm hoping finally Estevez is the 120 00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:39,320 Speaker 1: guy but as you can tell, I'm also a little 121 00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:41,920 Speaker 1: frustrated with this bullpen right now, but it seems like 122 00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:44,920 Speaker 1: with the other guys hurt, Stevez as a clear path, 123 00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:46,760 Speaker 1: and as long as he continues to pitch the way 124 00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:49,440 Speaker 1: he has so far over his first fourteen appearances on 125 00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:53,160 Speaker 1: the season, Estevez is gonna hopefully keep this job. I hope, 126 00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:55,000 Speaker 1: because if I have to come back next week with 127 00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:58,240 Speaker 1: another Angels reliever, I don't know if I can mentally 128 00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:00,599 Speaker 1: handle it. Well. There you have it, every everybuddy. Those 129 00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:02,840 Speaker 1: are the guys to add in Week six in Major 130 00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:05,640 Speaker 1: League Baseball.
