All right, gentlemen, 57 00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:30,160 Speaker 1: let's kick things off here. Let's let Bloomfield go first, 58 00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:32,240 Speaker 1: because I want him to feel like he's going first 59 00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:35,200 Speaker 1: for a change in life. Here, Bloomfield, let's start with 60 00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:39,000 Speaker 1: Cole Reagan's. Obviously, we know the big strikeout potential is 61 00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:42,799 Speaker 1: that Ryan. Obviously we had some hiccups last year in 62 00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:45,080 Speaker 1: the season in terms of health and at times in 63 00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:48,079 Speaker 1: terms of performance. So why is the industry wrong about 64 00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:49,720 Speaker 1: Cole Reagan's in your opinion. 65 00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:52,880 Speaker 4: I think because where Cole Reagan's is going in drafts. 66 00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:53,680 Speaker 4: He's your anchor. 67 00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:56,960 Speaker 3: He has to be your anchor, right given the recent 68 00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:01,520 Speaker 3: ADP and looking at the innings pitched history for Cole Reagan's, 69 00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:05,000 Speaker 3: the injury history does not scream anchor. He's got one 70 00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:08,360 Speaker 3: year of over one hundred innings in his entire career 71 00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:11,360 Speaker 3: coming off of a shoulder injury that cost him pretty 72 00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:13,720 Speaker 3: much half of twenty twenty five. Yes, he did return 73 00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:16,160 Speaker 3: for three starts at the end of last season. 74 00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:17,359 Speaker 4: Yes, he has. 75 00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:20,080 Speaker 3: Looked pretty good this spring, so maybe fall off a 76 00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:22,680 Speaker 3: little bit. But I just think you're paying an a 77 00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:25,639 Speaker 3: level price for someone who's pretty brittle. 78 00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:28,400 Speaker 4: And that's my biggest reason. It's not performance. 79 00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:30,760 Speaker 3: And you look at the kind of surface ratios for 80 00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:32,200 Speaker 3: Cole Reagan's last year, they weren't good. 81 00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:33,440 Speaker 4: I think the skills are just fine. 82 00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:35,800 Speaker 3: I think Cole Reagan's on a per enning basis is 83 00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:39,480 Speaker 3: completely legit. It's the can you trust this guy over 84 00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:41,680 Speaker 3: a full season or even a half season given the 85 00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:44,640 Speaker 3: recent injury issues. That's my biggest beef with Cole Reagan's. 86 00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:46,640 Speaker 5: Yeah, Bloomfield, I think it's interesting because one thing I 87 00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:48,520 Speaker 5: want to throw at you is you were using the 88 00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:51,120 Speaker 5: word anchor, but like when he is out there and 89 00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:53,840 Speaker 5: he's healthy, he is an anchor, Like he is an 90 00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:56,680 Speaker 5: actual anchor. You kept using that word. So the only 91 00:03:56,760 --> 00:04:01,040 Speaker 5: thing that's holding him back here is the theoretic injury history, 92 00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:03,400 Speaker 5: which I can appreciate because like the guys that are 93 00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:07,040 Speaker 5: hurt right now, I'm out. I'm out on Blake Snell. 94 00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:09,000 Speaker 5: I want no part of it. I want no part 95 00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:11,920 Speaker 5: of Brandon wood Druff, those guys that have this mystery stuff. 96 00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:13,200 Speaker 5: I guess I'm a hypocrite because I kind of like 97 00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:16,760 Speaker 5: Zack Wheeler a little bit, but like Cole Reagan's has 98 00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:20,279 Speaker 5: the anchor upside to literally lead your fantasy team. But 99 00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:23,800 Speaker 5: it's just the risk versus reward that takes you out. 100 00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:27,080 Speaker 4: That is exactly it. Give me, and maybe it's just 101 00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:29,120 Speaker 4: the way that I draft. If I'm taking my first 102 00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:32,000 Speaker 4: starting picture, I want someone who and I know being 103 00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:34,000 Speaker 4: in the business of trying to predict picture injuries is 104 00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:36,480 Speaker 4: shaky at best, but give me. 105 00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:38,719 Speaker 3: Give me a Freddy Perolta, give me a Logan Web, 106 00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:40,680 Speaker 3: give me those boring guys that I know I can 107 00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:43,800 Speaker 3: I can count on throughout the entire season, and not 108 00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:46,760 Speaker 3: just a parending per start look like he agreed. 109 00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:47,960 Speaker 4: With oh me and Babba. 110 00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:49,520 Speaker 2: I'm I'm glad you brought. 111 00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:52,960 Speaker 4: Up we are not sympatico on Cole Reagan's. 112 00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:56,000 Speaker 1: Okay, right, I'm glad you brought up the Freddy Peralta 113 00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:58,200 Speaker 1: issue in there too, because this was literally conversation I 114 00:04:58,200 --> 00:04:59,960 Speaker 1: feel like we had yesterday the day before on the show. 115 00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:01,839 Speaker 2: It was recently. But you know, you got a guy 116 00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:02,919 Speaker 2: like Reagans, who I know a couple of. 117 00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:05,040 Speaker 1: Years ago, right, full season, hundred and eighty ings, two 118 00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:08,239 Speaker 1: hundred and twenty strikeouts, awesome, But Freddy Peralta is basically 119 00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:10,560 Speaker 1: going in the same exact range, and he's got three 120 00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:12,560 Speaker 1: straight years of two hundred strikeouts and is he alreadys 121 00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:14,840 Speaker 1: gonna be in the mid threes probably somewhere around there, 122 00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:17,000 Speaker 1: and the whip's gonna be good, and he's pitching for 123 00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:17,640 Speaker 1: a contract. 124 00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:20,240 Speaker 2: He's on a very good team. Like, I don't know. 125 00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:22,360 Speaker 2: To me, this was just doesn't equate in my head. 126 00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:25,080 Speaker 1: If I'm starting a rotation, right, I feel way better 127 00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:27,440 Speaker 1: about Parolta than I do about Reagan's. I'm not saying 128 00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:29,440 Speaker 1: I don't like Reagan's as a number two. Like if 129 00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:32,760 Speaker 1: I had if I was like going like maybe pocket aces, okay, 130 00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:34,880 Speaker 1: made Ragan's is that second guy because of the big upside, 131 00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:37,080 Speaker 1: but as my like big stand alone he's the front 132 00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:38,000 Speaker 1: of my rotation guy. 133 00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:39,960 Speaker 2: I would rather have Parolta, and. 134 00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:42,040 Speaker 4: I think and Joseph and the Chatmick's a good point. 135 00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:43,520 Speaker 3: If you draft Reagan's need to make sure you have 136 00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:45,960 Speaker 3: good pitching death because you may be losing him for 137 00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:46,360 Speaker 3: some time. 138 00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:48,880 Speaker 4: And I agree, and I generally like where I'm coming from. 139 00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:51,480 Speaker 3: Typically I draft in the kind of the deeper the league, 140 00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:53,640 Speaker 3: the tougher the replacement level, the more I'm willing to 141 00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:57,400 Speaker 3: go for those kind of boring types, the Webs, the Paraltas. 142 00:05:57,400 --> 00:05:59,960 Speaker 3: If you're in a twelve team or a ten team 143 00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:02,120 Speaker 3: mixed where you're kind of shooting for upside and replacement 144 00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:04,520 Speaker 3: is better, I can see Reagans. But but yeah, you need, 145 00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:08,039 Speaker 3: definitely need to build some some stability if you take 146 00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:08,839 Speaker 3: Reagan's this early. 147 00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:11,400 Speaker 5: And one thing I want to add, Hardy brought up, 148 00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:13,520 Speaker 5: can we get some context of who's around.

The picture in front is wrong. 154 00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:26,880 Speaker 5: It's Hunter Green obviously because he's gone and that's a mess. 155 00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:29,760 Speaker 5: But Jacob de Gram is the pick right after Freddy 156 00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:34,200 Speaker 5: Peralta is eight picks after You've kind of Got kind 157 00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:37,840 Speaker 5: of a fall.

I'm a big Roman Anthony guy. 175 00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:21,160 Speaker 1: And it's funny because Bubba, I don't know if you're 176 00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:23,560 Speaker 1: negative or positive about this year, and you just said 177 00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:25,240 Speaker 1: that they are wrong. So let's talk about why you 178 00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:27,200 Speaker 1: think this is wrong here for Roman Anthony. 179 00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:30,600 Speaker 6: For me, it's it's kind of the stat line that 180 00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:32,840 Speaker 6: we're looking at with Roman Anthony right now. We're seeing, 181 00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:35,480 Speaker 6: you know, let's say a twenty twenty player if things 182 00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:37,800 Speaker 6: go well right now, we haven't seen the full ceiling 183 00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:40,280 Speaker 6: from Roman Anthony. If you're an OBP league, it's awesome. 184 00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:44,240 Speaker 6: He's great in OBP. Not gonna deny that for one second. 185 00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:46,840 Speaker 2: But like last year, we two ninety two batting averageing 186 00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:47,720 Speaker 2: too bad either. 187 00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:49,200 Speaker 6: Last year, but you go throughout the minus hat two 188 00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:51,520 Speaker 6: sixty ninety two, seventy two to twenty eight at times 189 00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:53,240 Speaker 6: like there's there's been good in bads. There's been a 190 00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:56,280 Speaker 6: lot of fluctuations there for Roman Anthony Anthony, and it's 191 00:07:56,280 --> 00:07:58,640 Speaker 6: been a lot of like fifteen sixteen seasons, we haven't 192 00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:01,119 Speaker 6: even had a twenty twenty season in the minor league. 193 00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:04,000 Speaker 6: So to me, it's just the hype trains reel. Maybe 194 00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:06,400 Speaker 6: the ceiling finally gets there someday. Because he's only twenty 195 00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:09,679 Speaker 6: two years old, there's no denying that he can't still develop. 196 00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:10,880 Speaker 2: We haven't seen it yet. 197 00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:14,400 Speaker 6: And where you're drafting Roman Anthony, there have proven commodities 198 00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:18,240 Speaker 6: like what we've seen his profile be Michael Harris does 199 00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:20,280 Speaker 6: the same thing. And I'm not saying go draft Michael Harris, 200 00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:22,160 Speaker 6: but you can get Michael Harris probably forty or fifty 201 00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:25,120 Speaker 6: picks later, depending on what formats you're in. So what 202 00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:27,840 Speaker 6: skill set we have seen so far with Roman Anthony, 203 00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:30,600 Speaker 6: you are drafting for a ceiling we have not seen yet. 204 00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:34,319 Speaker 6: Where at pick fifty four, you have so many proven 205 00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:36,240 Speaker 6: commodities at that point in time, and I just I 206 00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:37,040 Speaker 6: don't take the chance. 207 00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:39,680 Speaker 1: There's a cluster of guys there. Again, this is another 208 00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:41,960 Speaker 1: conversation than Welshould I had yesterday of the show. So 209 00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:44,680 Speaker 1: it's good to get a third opinion here. It's Wyatt Langford, 210 00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:48,000 Speaker 1: Roman Anthony, Jackson Merrill actually given for making five, Riley 211 00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:50,440 Speaker 1: Green and Jaron Durant. There's five guys here in this 212 00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:52,800 Speaker 1: clump of outfielders, and everyone kind of has their favorite 213 00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:55,719 Speaker 1: flavor I like Roman, Anthony and Langford. I prefer them 214 00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:59,480 Speaker 1: over Meryl out of those guys, Langford, Anthony, Meryl, Riley 215 00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:01,720 Speaker 1: Green Durant. Are you in on any of this grouping 216 00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:02,320 Speaker 1: here or. 217 00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:03,480 Speaker 2: Is this the time of the draft where you're going 218 00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:04,319 Speaker 2: in opposite direction. 219 00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:06,360 Speaker 6: I usually end up getting my first picture like a 220 00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:10,280 Speaker 6: Freddie Peralta, as you mentioned. But if you do, I 221 00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:12,320 Speaker 6: love the white Langford. He's been banged up, so you 222 00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:14,600 Speaker 6: have to play the entry concerns, but that is legit 223 00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:17,320 Speaker 6: twenty twenty, maybe twenty five to twenty five type guy, 224 00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:19,079 Speaker 6: maybe thirty thirty if things really click, if you want 225 00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:22,600 Speaker 6: to play ceiling games like Roman Anthony, I love Whyitt Langford. 226 00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:24,800 Speaker 2: I think it's funny. As teammate Jaron Duran's right there. 227 00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:27,600 Speaker 6: Jaron Durant's proven twice now that he's got power, he's 228 00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:29,400 Speaker 6: got speed, he can hit for it okay average, like 229 00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:31,560 Speaker 6: we know who he is. It feels like he's an 230 00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:33,520 Speaker 6: it in the middle of that order in Boston, which 231 00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:36,120 Speaker 6: is a pretty good batting order. So definite options there 232 00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:38,400 Speaker 6: that we've got more proven commodities, which I'm going to 233 00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:39,920 Speaker 6: take at that point in the draft. 234 00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:42,440 Speaker 2: Well, what are your thoughts on Roman Anthony. 235 00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:45,240 Speaker 1: I mean, I know, you know, we both I believe 236 00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:47,319 Speaker 1: we're in on him this year. Are you where Bubba 237 00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:49,280 Speaker 1: is where it's like, hey, you're kind of drafting him 238 00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:50,280 Speaker 1: at ceiling at this point. 239 00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:52,839 Speaker 5: I'm a pretty big Roman Anthony guy. I've been pretty 240 00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:55,640 Speaker 5: vocal about it, like, here's my problem with it. And 241 00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:57,560 Speaker 5: because this is what I agree with Bubba. If you 242 00:09:57,600 --> 00:10:00,640 Speaker 5: are looking at the projection stat line, that's doesn't deserve 243 00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:02,560 Speaker 5: that stat line does not deserve to be going where 244 00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:05,200 Speaker 5: it's going. So I could not agree. 245 00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:05,400 Speaker 2: More with that. 246 00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:07,520 Speaker 5: But my problem is is I don't think the stat 247 00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:10,079 Speaker 5: line is correct. I think one of the things you're 248 00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:13,160 Speaker 5: looking at, you were looking at absolutely elite barrel fifteen percent, 249 00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:15,880 Speaker 5: elite hard hit sixty percent. And you know what that 250 00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:17,840 Speaker 5: really reminded me of. And I said this like for 251 00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:19,439 Speaker 5: quite a long time, even in the back end of 252 00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:24,200 Speaker 5: last year, this was just Nick Kurtz without some of 253 00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:26,640 Speaker 5: the big loud counting stats. Another thing Roman Anthony hasn't 254 00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:28,400 Speaker 5: learned to do is like get the ball in the air. 255 00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:30,960 Speaker 5: But he got on base more. He was hitting at 256 00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:32,880 Speaker 5: the top of the order. He's going to score runs 257 00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:34,880 Speaker 5: in Boston he's probably going to be the lead off guy. 258 00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:37,240 Speaker 5: He walks. It was like thirteen percent of the time. 259 00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:40,720 Speaker 5: If there is progression to be had with his profile, 260 00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:42,760 Speaker 5: and he goes from a seven degree launch angle guy 261 00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:45,240 Speaker 5: to a ten degree pulls ball a little bit, strikes 262 00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:47,600 Speaker 5: out a little bit less, you're looking at a thirty 263 00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:50,000 Speaker 5: five home run guy. Like that's the type of profile 264 00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:52,120 Speaker 5: that he has. So I really like Roman Anthony. 265 00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:53,120 Speaker 4: To be fair. 266 00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:55,400 Speaker 5: What you said, maybe you are paying him kind of 267 00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:57,840 Speaker 5: at the cost. It's similar to why at Langford you 268 00:10:57,960 --> 00:11:00,000 Speaker 5: paid kind of the high cost for what you thought 269 00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:01,920 Speaker 5: you get out of lank for last year. He kind 270 00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:04,319 Speaker 5: of returned value and guess what he's like right back 271 00:11:04,360 --> 00:11:06,360 Speaker 5: to where he was last season. That might be the 272 00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:08,440 Speaker 5: same case with Roman Anthony. But the thing that I 273 00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:10,760 Speaker 5: really like about him is I think he's gonna get 274 00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:13,319 Speaker 5: on base. I think he's at least a four category player. 275 00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:15,800 Speaker 5: And if he goes thirty ten with let's say a 276 00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:18,880 Speaker 5: two seventy average and he's ninety ninety, that's going to 277 00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:21,920 Speaker 5: more than pay for like the fifty range of what 278 00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:24,319 Speaker 5: you're getting him overall. But I'm just a big I'm 279 00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:25,360 Speaker 5: a big Roman Anthony guy. 280 00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:25,719 Speaker 2: This year. 281 00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:28,160 Speaker 5: But I also kind of don't know if he falls 282 00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:29,760 Speaker 5: in the range of where I want to draft him, 283 00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:31,600 Speaker 5: because I go like, hit or hit or hit her, 284 00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:34,520 Speaker 5: and then fourth round is like a really common pitcher range. 285 00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:37,200 Speaker 5: So that does screw me sometimes, but I'm trying to 286 00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:38,680 Speaker 5: get my shares, all right. 287 00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:40,480 Speaker 1: We got super chats flying in, so I want to 288 00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:42,199 Speaker 1: make sure we get to those real quick. Ryan, give 289 00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:44,640 Speaker 1: me your take on Roman Anthony here before we move 290 00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:45,280 Speaker 1: on to Bradish. 291 00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:49,840 Speaker 3: I'll amend Welsh's sentence ever so slightly. Nick Kirtz without 292 00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:52,120 Speaker 3: the fly balls, and when you get Nick Kurtz without 293 00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:53,880 Speaker 3: the fly balls, you just don't get any home runs. 294 00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:57,240 Speaker 3: Like it's just very hard to have a mega home 295 00:11:57,320 --> 00:12:00,000 Speaker 3: run total when you only hit fly balls thirty percent 296 00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:00,520 Speaker 3: of the time. 297 00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:03,160 Speaker 4: And that's what Anthony did last year. And maybe this changes. 298 00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:06,360 Speaker 3: I'm sure Roman Anthony, you know, at some point in 299 00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:09,319 Speaker 3: his career will probably be like a top two round pick, 300 00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:13,800 Speaker 3: potentially even top pick. I think the market is just 301 00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:16,439 Speaker 3: banking on a lot of growth that happened in year two, 302 00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:18,319 Speaker 3: and a lot of that growth is baked into the price. 303 00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:19,840 Speaker 4: Again, it's not the player, it's the price. 304 00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:23,280 Speaker 3: It's it's someone who Leah, you look at the projection 305 00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:25,800 Speaker 3: and we can disagree with the projection. Sure that some 306 00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:28,760 Speaker 3: of these prospects can can kind of exceed those very quickly, 307 00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:31,400 Speaker 3: but I just I need to see it from someone 308 00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:33,640 Speaker 3: before I make a top sixty pick on them. 309 00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:36,040 Speaker 1: Yesterday we did one of my favorite shows on the 310 00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:39,240 Speaker 1: channel here, which is the described as Players twenty twenty 311 00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:40,720 Speaker 1: six season, and three words are less sweet. 312 00:12:40,920 --> 00:12:42,320 Speaker 2: It's a fun little game we play here. 313 00:12:42,760 --> 00:12:45,560 Speaker 1: And my three words for Kyle Bradish were be very 314 00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:49,040 Speaker 1: careful because I like Kyle bradsh the talent. My problem 315 00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:52,560 Speaker 1: is Kyle Bradish is the ADP. So Bubba, it feels 316 00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:54,040 Speaker 1: like you kind of in that same boat. 317 00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:55,240 Speaker 2: Let's talk about why. 318 00:12:55,360 --> 00:12:57,640 Speaker 6: You pretty much kneeled all of my concerns. Like, I 319 00:12:57,679 --> 00:13:00,960 Speaker 6: think his skill set it's an ace, is an absolute ace. 320 00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:03,880 Speaker 6: But he's coming off. You know Tommy John Surgery, We 321 00:13:03,880 --> 00:13:07,320 Speaker 6: saw him. He threw thirty two innings last year at 322 00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:10,080 Speaker 6: the big league level. If you want to combine the 323 00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:12,760 Speaker 6: minor leagues with them, we saw fifty four innings pitch 324 00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:15,600 Speaker 6: last year. Fifty four Like, how far do you let 325 00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:18,640 Speaker 6: him roam that? That's the million dollar question? Is it 326 00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:20,760 Speaker 6: one hundred and thirty innings is one hundred and fiftys 327 00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:23,679 Speaker 6: if you had one to fifty plus, maybe worth it. 328 00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:25,719 Speaker 6: I'm just worried they're not. They've already talked they're going 329 00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:27,800 Speaker 6: to work on limiting his innings if it's a six 330 00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:30,360 Speaker 6: man rotation, if it's skipping to start here, like they 331 00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:33,520 Speaker 6: want him for the postseason. And now you're you talked 332 00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:36,360 Speaker 6: Reagan's at ADP fifty one, so we're twenty eight picks later. 333 00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:38,520 Speaker 6: That's great, but we're still talking about a guy that 334 00:13:38,640 --> 00:13:40,600 Speaker 6: your SP two or SP three. If you're aggressive, you 335 00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:42,920 Speaker 6: still need these guys to perform as close to an 336 00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:45,200 Speaker 6: ace as possible. And if he's going to be limited, 337 00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:47,160 Speaker 6: that's going to take a big part out of it. 338 00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:49,240 Speaker 6: I think he's really really good, but the price tax 339 00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:51,800 Speaker 6: is too high for me. Like people loved him, like 340 00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:54,280 Speaker 6: eighty p seventy nine is nice, there's leagues where he 341 00:13:54,280 --> 00:13:56,959 Speaker 6: goes even higher than that, Like people love Kyle Braddist 342 00:13:56,960 --> 00:13:58,079 Speaker 6: this year or they hate him. 343 00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:01,560 Speaker 1: Well, Bub, what's so fascinating to me, Bob, is that 344 00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:04,240 Speaker 1: you got a picture right ahead of him, an ADP 345 00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:06,560 Speaker 1: back to back Franburvaldez. Now I know it's a new 346 00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:08,640 Speaker 1: place for him, so we can talk about that too. 347 00:14:08,679 --> 00:14:11,400 Speaker 1: But two hundred one innings, one hundred ninety innings, one 348 00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:13,880 Speaker 1: hundred and seventy six, one hundred and ninety two innings, 349 00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:17,400 Speaker 1: Like we're talking workhorse kind of guy now. And look, 350 00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:19,000 Speaker 1: I understand he might not be as sexy in some 351 00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:21,400 Speaker 1: of the counting stats as maybe Bradisch could be. But 352 00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:24,440 Speaker 1: I'm talking about durability being the best ability. He takes 353 00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:26,040 Speaker 1: the ball over a fifth day, and to me, that's 354 00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:28,160 Speaker 1: that's where I struggle. It's it's like, even if you 355 00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:30,160 Speaker 1: don't love franber Valdez, I think you got to respect 356 00:14:30,160 --> 00:14:32,720 Speaker 1: the fact that he's going in an ADP right around 357 00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:34,560 Speaker 1: Kyle bradsh where I think you know what you're getting 358 00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:37,840 Speaker 1: in the Franburvaldez investment, Whereas Kyle Bradish it's still so 359 00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:40,720 Speaker 1: many questions and so much more of a premium to 360 00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:42,480 Speaker 1: get there. Ryan, what are your thoughts on Bradish? 361 00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:45,800 Speaker 3: It's interesting to compare me and Bubba go at this 362 00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:48,000 Speaker 3: all the time. I'm a bratish guy, so it's interesting 363 00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:51,800 Speaker 3: just to compare this conversation the way for this love 364 00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:56,840 Speaker 3: it we just talked about, like, yeah, we we we 365 00:14:57,240 --> 00:15:00,240 Speaker 3: have on Bubba in the bloom we have we we 366 00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:01,960 Speaker 3: track all these we call him beer bets, and we 367 00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:04,800 Speaker 3: settle up the first pitch Arizona. Every year all of 368 00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:08,880 Speaker 3: our player debates, Kyle Bradish and Cole Reagan's are involved 369 00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:12,720 Speaker 3: in separate ones for me, and this is just how 370 00:15:12,760 --> 00:15:15,040 Speaker 3: I evaluate pitching like it's And it's just interesting how 371 00:15:15,080 --> 00:15:17,560 Speaker 3: this dovetails off of the cold Reagan's conversation that we 372 00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:21,120 Speaker 3: just had. Cole Reagan's had the shoulder injury and just 373 00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:25,160 Speaker 3: kind of I'll use air quotes, healed it with rest, 374 00:15:25,160 --> 00:15:27,840 Speaker 3: where Kyle Bradish actually had the surgery, had Tommy John 375 00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:30,720 Speaker 3: he had a larger sample post injury when he came 376 00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:33,560 Speaker 3: back throwing those fifty one innings compared to Cole Reagan's 377 00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:37,040 Speaker 3: at thirteen innings that we saw from him after he 378 00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:38,480 Speaker 3: returned from the shoulder injury. 379 00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:40,120 Speaker 4: And I just think someone. 380 00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:43,920 Speaker 3: Who like Bradish, who gets the surgery, gets it fixed 381 00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:47,280 Speaker 3: and looks honestly looks dominant. I mean it was a 382 00:15:47,640 --> 00:15:49,840 Speaker 3: He's got one of the best strikeout rates in all 383 00:15:49,880 --> 00:15:52,200 Speaker 3: of baseball over the last few years, Kyle Bradish. And 384 00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:55,200 Speaker 3: I know it's a limited sample because of the Tommy John, 385 00:15:55,240 --> 00:15:57,400 Speaker 3: but he got the surgery, he got fixed. He looked 386 00:15:57,400 --> 00:15:59,840 Speaker 3: really good last year. I don't see why Kyle Brad 387 00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:03,360 Speaker 3: is any kind of health risk. I think I think 388 00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:04,560 Speaker 3: he's I think he's fixed. 389 00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:07,920 Speaker 4: There are valid concerns about the potential six man rotation. 390 00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:10,880 Speaker 3: We all know how six man rotation goes. Someone gets 391 00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:13,360 Speaker 3: hurt and becomes a five man rotation. So I think 392 00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:15,440 Speaker 3: if you get one hundred and sixty hundred and seventy 393 00:16:15,520 --> 00:16:18,720 Speaker 3: innings from Bratish, I think that's what I'm kind of expecting. 394 00:16:19,040 --> 00:16:21,720 Speaker 3: I think this guy is a low end ace that 395 00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:22,800 Speaker 3: you're getting at pick eighty. 396 00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:25,160 Speaker 1: All right, we're gonna get to one of Welsh's guys, 397 00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:26,760 Speaker 1: and then Ryan's got another guy who wants to talk 398 00:16:26,760 --> 00:16:28,400 Speaker 1: about two. Before we do, let's jump into some of 399 00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:30,320 Speaker 1: these super chats so we can kind of stay on 400 00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:33,960 Speaker 1: top of things. Twelve team roto three keepers can keep 401 00:16:34,120 --> 00:16:38,120 Speaker 1: kurts Burns, Keishaw or Mizerowski for my final three picks, 402 00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:40,040 Speaker 1: or I can keep two of those and keep show 403 00:16:40,080 --> 00:16:41,960 Speaker 1: hey the pitcher in the twelfth round. 404 00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:43,280 Speaker 2: Welsh, which way you want to go with this? 405 00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:46,160 Speaker 5: Well, that's pretty easy. We're gonna do well. I guess 406 00:16:46,200 --> 00:16:48,040 Speaker 5: because it's just Pitcher. Maybe that's not as easy. But 407 00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:52,760 Speaker 5: Kurtz Burns and I'm timpt to goo boy, I'm timed 408 00:16:52,800 --> 00:16:54,840 Speaker 5: to say Showani as I'm gonna. 409 00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:56,400 Speaker 1: Say, then you can only keep I think Kurtz and 410 00:16:56,400 --> 00:16:58,920 Speaker 1: Otani from if I'm reading this correctly, No, he says. 411 00:16:58,760 --> 00:17:02,080 Speaker 5: You can keep keep two of them and the picture listen. 412 00:17:02,280 --> 00:17:05,639 Speaker 5: Like from a keeper perspective, Kurtz, Burns and Miz makes 413 00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:08,280 Speaker 5: a lot of sense, and that's probably the longevity of it. 414 00:17:08,320 --> 00:17:10,359 Speaker 5: I have some questions about Miz, but as I said 415 00:17:10,359 --> 00:17:12,560 Speaker 5: on the Three Word Show, maybe we're just a year 416 00:17:12,600 --> 00:17:14,680 Speaker 5: early on Miz. So I think from like the full 417 00:17:14,760 --> 00:17:17,919 Speaker 5: dynasty perspective, Kurtz, Burns and Miss is probably the easy answer. 418 00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:19,879 Speaker 5: But I think you could swap Miss and o Tani 419 00:17:19,960 --> 00:17:21,919 Speaker 5: if you're a little bit more win. Now, Kurtz and 420 00:17:21,920 --> 00:17:24,159 Speaker 5: Burns are not even a question, not like the biggest 421 00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:26,000 Speaker 5: Kishow guy, so he's kind of the odd man out. 422 00:17:26,600 --> 00:17:28,439 Speaker 1: All right, let's get to another one here. This is 423 00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:30,680 Speaker 1: from Josh missed you guys aw, we missed you too. 424 00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:33,040 Speaker 1: I just found out my nemesis from the same league 425 00:17:33,040 --> 00:17:33,639 Speaker 1: watches you as well. 426 00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:37,080 Speaker 2: Let's go to a very popular.

Why don't you take this one? 507 00:20:27,040 --> 00:20:29,560 Speaker 5: And he says Vlad would have to be a util. 508 00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:32,800 Speaker 5: He's already keeping Roman, Kurtz and Camonaro. 509 00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:33,520 Speaker 2: Good keeper grouping. 510 00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:35,320 Speaker 4: I would keep. I would keep. 511 00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:38,639 Speaker 5: Cheerio on that, but I have I got no problem 512 00:20:38,680 --> 00:20:39,919 Speaker 5: if you want to keep Lad. But you already got 513 00:20:39,920 --> 00:20:42,240 Speaker 5: the first basement in Kurt's long term, so I think 514 00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:44,480 Speaker 5: Cheerio would be the pretty easy answer there. 515 00:20:44,560 --> 00:20:46,480 Speaker 2: And this is such a great team because Joseph never 516 00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:48,480 Speaker 2: misses a show. This is what happens. See when you 517 00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:49,680 Speaker 2: hang out with us a fantasy rose. 518 00:20:50,040 --> 00:20:52,560 Speaker 5: You have rosters like this, so damn good keepers to 519 00:20:52,560 --> 00:20:54,040 Speaker 5: be choosing from. He's like, hey, how about all that 520 00:20:54,160 --> 00:20:56,600 Speaker 5: second round picks? I have to throw three of them back, Like, 521 00:20:56,640 --> 00:20:57,880 Speaker 5: good lord, good job, dude. 522 00:20:57,920 --> 00:21:00,560 Speaker 2: Yeah I really did all We got one more, just knucking. 523 00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:03,520 Speaker 1: Let's go to Peter's sixteen team points league, I have 524 00:21:03,560 --> 00:21:05,879 Speaker 1: the fourth overall. Who would your prioritize as a second 525 00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:08,399 Speaker 1: bat with my second pick or you would you go 526 00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:10,520 Speaker 1: with a pitcher with that many teams? 527 00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:10,800 Speaker 2: Ryan? 528 00:21:10,800 --> 00:21:12,800 Speaker 1: How do you assess this when you're in deeper leagues? 529 00:21:13,600 --> 00:21:17,439 Speaker 1: Obviously you know it could be very tricky. Investment in 530 00:21:17,520 --> 00:21:19,600 Speaker 1: pitching is important, but at the same time, the replacement 531 00:21:19,680 --> 00:21:21,959 Speaker 1: value is also not there if they get hurt, so 532 00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:22,680 Speaker 1: it's very tricky. 533 00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:24,880 Speaker 2: You gotta invest wisely. So which way would you go here? 534 00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:25,240 Speaker 2: For Peter? 535 00:21:25,800 --> 00:21:27,800 Speaker 3: Just sometimes it depends kind of how Earli are drafting. 536 00:21:27,800 --> 00:21:29,800 Speaker 3: The closer we get to opening day, we've seen some 537 00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:31,359 Speaker 3: of these pitchers go through and make a couple of 538 00:21:31,359 --> 00:21:33,399 Speaker 3: starts since spring training. The more confident that we know 539 00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:36,439 Speaker 3: that that are at least healthy right now. So like 540 00:21:36,520 --> 00:21:39,080 Speaker 3: you hit on the head, Joe, replacement level in these 541 00:21:39,400 --> 00:21:42,240 Speaker 3: in these deeper leagues for pitching is just absolutely brutal 542 00:21:42,280 --> 00:21:44,400 Speaker 3: when you're trying to comb waiver wire every single week. 543 00:21:44,480 --> 00:21:46,879 Speaker 3: So I think taking a picture in this with your 544 00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:48,080 Speaker 3: second pick is totally fine. 545 00:21:48,160 --> 00:21:49,680 Speaker 1: I also don't know just what kind of leagues where 546 00:21:49,680 --> 00:21:51,760 Speaker 1: I don't go for the like the the guys that 547 00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:53,520 Speaker 1: I have questions about to Peter, I just want to 548 00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:55,560 Speaker 1: put that like, guys, you're like, man one hundred innings 549 00:21:55,560 --> 00:21:58,680 Speaker 1: is dicey, Like, don't take that guy, Yeah, don't don't 550 00:21:58,720 --> 00:21:58,960 Speaker 1: do that. 551 00:21:59,000 --> 00:21:59,320 Speaker 2: Go ahead. 552 00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:01,200 Speaker 5: Well, the only thing I as an ad is because 553 00:22:01,240 --> 00:22:04,119 Speaker 5: your third pick is so close, I'm probably more prone 554 00:22:04,160 --> 00:22:06,640 Speaker 5: if there's a bat that I really like to prioritize 555 00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:08,720 Speaker 5: that bat and then take a picture in the third 556 00:22:08,760 --> 00:22:10,720 Speaker 5: or maybe like a Hunter Brown, because like, I don't 557 00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:13,200 Speaker 5: know if there's a huge difference between I know, love 558 00:22:13,240 --> 00:22:15,919 Speaker 5: people like fall over themselves by Yamamoto, but if Yamamoto 559 00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:18,479 Speaker 5: is like six man and lowered a little bit, like, 560 00:22:18,560 --> 00:22:20,639 Speaker 5: I'll take a Hunter Brown in the third round if 561 00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:22,879 Speaker 5: there's like a really awesome bat in the second. So 562 00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:24,080 Speaker 5: that's how I would kind of look at that. 563 00:22:24,880 --> 00:22:27,639 Speaker 1: All right, Uh, let's get to one of Welsh's guys, 564 00:22:28,040 --> 00:22:31,600 Speaker 1: maybe some positivity where it's bready here, Bubba Chandler. Right 565 00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:34,679 Speaker 1: now is you know, flying around in drafts. There's a 566 00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:37,399 Speaker 1: lot of different opinions here. The ADP is one to 567 00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:40,639 Speaker 1: fifty nine. The expert consensus ranking is fifty five. So 568 00:22:40,840 --> 00:22:43,639 Speaker 1: why is the industry wrong about this? 569 00:22:43,720 --> 00:22:45,879 Speaker 2: Bubba not casey, Bubba we're always right about him. But 570 00:22:45,880 --> 00:22:47,200 Speaker 2: why Bubba Champler, Yeah, big. 571 00:22:47,040 --> 00:22:49,399 Speaker 5: Supporter of Bubba's on this show and whatever. 572 00:22:49,160 --> 00:22:51,000 Speaker 2: Capacity all Bubba network today. 573 00:22:51,080 --> 00:22:53,280 Speaker 5: Well, I mean there's a couple things Like First, if 574 00:22:53,320 --> 00:22:55,720 Speaker 5: you just look at Bubba, Bubba had a tumultuous year 575 00:22:55,920 --> 00:22:58,520 Speaker 5: early on, then gets that late late call up, goes 576 00:22:58,560 --> 00:23:01,720 Speaker 5: in as a bullpen guy, kind of dominates. His first start, 577 00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:03,960 Speaker 5: gets blown up, and then he just proceeds to just 578 00:23:04,520 --> 00:23:07,200 Speaker 5: go ham in his final starts getting in innings. He 579 00:23:07,240 --> 00:23:09,800 Speaker 5: ended up having a twenty five percent k percentage with 580 00:23:09,880 --> 00:23:12,480 Speaker 5: a three percent walk rate, which was absurd and probably 581 00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:17,440 Speaker 5: not sustainable. Necessarily spent the whole offseason with Paul Skeins, which, 582 00:23:17,640 --> 00:23:19,200 Speaker 5: as silly as that can be, I think that does 583 00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:21,720 Speaker 5: mean something. But here's more the important stuff here. He's 584 00:23:21,760 --> 00:23:23,920 Speaker 5: going to get the shot in the rotation. But when 585 00:23:23,920 --> 00:23:27,040 Speaker 5: you go and look on the draft boards, every one 586 00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:29,600 Speaker 5: of them and we have a litany of them, the young, 587 00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:33,440 Speaker 5: exciting rookie slash prospect, the pitchers that are right there. 588 00:23:33,480 --> 00:23:36,200 Speaker 5: You've gotten Nola McClain top one hundred, you've got Chase 589 00:23:36,200 --> 00:23:39,480 Speaker 5: Burn's top one hundred. Treya Savage was dominating this. Maybe 590 00:23:39,480 --> 00:23:41,840 Speaker 5: he's cooling a little bit. Jacob Mizarowski. We keep going 591 00:23:41,880 --> 00:23:45,560 Speaker 5: Cam Schlitzler, They're all going before Bubba Chandler. But when 592 00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:48,960 Speaker 5: you're talking about a dude with an A plus fastball, 593 00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:52,399 Speaker 5: a guy averaging sitting on ninety eight had success as 594 00:23:52,440 --> 00:23:55,199 Speaker 5: the majors is going to have a decent shot to 595 00:23:55,200 --> 00:23:58,520 Speaker 5: get some significant innings this year. You have upside that 596 00:23:58,680 --> 00:24:01,119 Speaker 5: is happening late. One of the biggest things we focus 597 00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:03,480 Speaker 5: on on the ADP is wrong as two things. It's 598 00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:07,720 Speaker 5: injury risks and overpaying into last year for hype. We're 599 00:24:07,760 --> 00:24:09,440 Speaker 5: not doing that in either case here. I mean, maybe 600 00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:10,840 Speaker 5: there could be an injury thing you could do, but 601 00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:13,160 Speaker 5: you're not overpaying on the hype. So I think where 602 00:24:13,400 --> 00:24:16,960 Speaker 5: my strategy this year kind of like Ryan like Bloomfield 603 00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:18,440 Speaker 5: has been saying, where it's like, I don't want to 604 00:24:18,480 --> 00:24:20,760 Speaker 5: take a bunch of risk, want I want boring guys, 605 00:24:20,760 --> 00:24:22,360 Speaker 5: give me Logan Web at the top, and I want 606 00:24:22,359 --> 00:24:24,440 Speaker 5: to take my shots a little bit later on the 607 00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:26,920 Speaker 5: Chase Burns and the Bubba Chandlers, because I think there's 608 00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:29,320 Speaker 5: a mint strikeout upside and I think this is just 609 00:24:29,359 --> 00:24:31,800 Speaker 5: the one guy the industry hasn't really backed with all 610 00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:34,880 Speaker 5: the others, probably because everybody can't be like every single 611 00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:36,439 Speaker 5: one of these rookie pittures is going to be amazing. 612 00:24:36,520 --> 00:24:38,480 Speaker 5: I think Bubba Chandler's got a legitimate shot with that 613 00:24:38,520 --> 00:24:40,879 Speaker 5: fastball in some of those secondaries. So I think the 614 00:24:40,920 --> 00:24:43,600 Speaker 5: ADP is just wrong on him, and he's the type 615 00:24:43,640 --> 00:24:46,400 Speaker 5: of guy you should be targeting, especially after all those 616 00:24:46,440 --> 00:24:46,920 Speaker 5: other guys. 617 00:24:47,640 --> 00:24:47,880 Speaker 4: Ryan. 618 00:24:47,920 --> 00:24:49,679 Speaker 1: It was a weird year for Bubba Chandler because there 619 00:24:49,680 --> 00:24:51,000 Speaker 1: was all that buzz for him to get called up, 620 00:24:51,040 --> 00:24:53,440 Speaker 1: then he didn't get called up, and then it kind 621 00:24:53,440 --> 00:24:55,240 Speaker 1: of felt like he was just pouting or not happy 622 00:24:55,240 --> 00:24:57,480 Speaker 1: about it, and his performance kind of dipped quite a bit. 623 00:24:57,520 --> 00:24:59,160 Speaker 1: You saw him struggle with the control. Then he gets 624 00:24:59,160 --> 00:25:01,960 Speaker 1: called up. He did have a big blow up start 625 00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:04,119 Speaker 1: in September. I do recall that, but Chandler had a 626 00:25:04,119 --> 00:25:06,240 Speaker 1: one point five to seventy a point five to nine 627 00:25:06,240 --> 00:25:08,840 Speaker 1: whip and twenty eight strikeouts one walk in twenty eight 628 00:25:08,880 --> 00:25:11,359 Speaker 1: innings across the six outings around that. So if you 629 00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:13,040 Speaker 1: take that again, it's a terrible thing to do. We 630 00:25:13,359 --> 00:25:16,440 Speaker 1: take that one startup, that's bad, then he's so good. Well, 631 00:25:16,440 --> 00:25:19,160 Speaker 1: that's not how baseball works. You count all the stats. 632 00:25:19,640 --> 00:25:21,680 Speaker 1: But that being said, where are you at with Bubba 633 00:25:21,720 --> 00:25:22,440 Speaker 1: Chandler this year? 634 00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:24,200 Speaker 4: I think I think Welsh nailed it. 635 00:25:24,240 --> 00:25:26,199 Speaker 3: And then given that the segment is, you know, players 636 00:25:26,240 --> 00:25:28,600 Speaker 3: at the industry the market is wrong about I like 637 00:25:28,640 --> 00:25:31,440 Speaker 3: Bubba Chandler just as much as the rest of the 638 00:25:31,440 --> 00:25:33,480 Speaker 3: the rest of the youths. I call him the rest 639 00:25:33,480 --> 00:25:35,920 Speaker 3: of the youth at starting pitcher and Bubba Chandler's going 640 00:25:36,320 --> 00:25:38,520 Speaker 3: later and I one hundred twenty innings one hundred and 641 00:25:38,520 --> 00:25:40,440 Speaker 3: thirty innings in each of the last two seasons for 642 00:25:40,480 --> 00:25:42,800 Speaker 3: Bubba Chandler. Again, and my common theme is like which 643 00:25:43,119 --> 00:25:45,320 Speaker 3: which pitchers can I at least have. 644 00:25:45,320 --> 00:25:47,240 Speaker 4: The best chance to have bankable volume with? 645 00:25:47,560 --> 00:25:50,240 Speaker 3: And Bubba Chandler's there that I think there's no uncertainty 646 00:25:50,240 --> 00:25:53,000 Speaker 3: with the rotation spot. I think this is a I 647 00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:53,879 Speaker 3: think this is a smash. 648 00:25:53,920 --> 00:25:54,720 Speaker 4: I agree with Welsh. 649 00:25:55,280 --> 00:25:56,359 Speaker 2: All right, let's talk about it. 650 00:25:56,400 --> 00:25:58,280 Speaker 1: Another one of the guys where the industry might be 651 00:25:58,359 --> 00:26:01,879 Speaker 1: wrong about them is Jane would Ryan Bloomfield. You have 652 00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:05,720 Speaker 1: targeted this man who has a lot of talent here, uh, 653 00:26:05,800 --> 00:26:09,439 Speaker 1: certainly power, certainly speed. The team around him still a 654 00:26:09,520 --> 00:26:12,120 Speaker 1: work in progress, to put it kindly, ADP right now 655 00:26:12,119 --> 00:26:15,720 Speaker 1: thirty two, the ECR of twenty eight. So Ryan, why 656 00:26:15,760 --> 00:26:18,000 Speaker 1: are folks wrong about James Wood right now? 657 00:26:18,720 --> 00:26:21,960 Speaker 3: I just think it's because, well, I A obviously the price, 658 00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:22,480 Speaker 3: it's it's a. 659 00:26:22,600 --> 00:26:22,919 Speaker 4: It's a. 660 00:26:23,040 --> 00:26:25,600 Speaker 3: It's an ADP of thirty two and e CR twenty eight. 661 00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:28,560 Speaker 3: So like A's very highly regarded by the industry. 662 00:26:28,640 --> 00:26:29,320 Speaker 4: James Wood is. 663 00:26:29,800 --> 00:26:33,399 Speaker 3: I just I there's some there's some danger in diving 664 00:26:33,440 --> 00:26:36,800 Speaker 3: into half season splits with hitters. I recognize that that, 665 00:26:36,880 --> 00:26:38,520 Speaker 3: but with James Wood, that's what we have to go 666 00:26:38,640 --> 00:26:41,760 Speaker 3: off of. And it was like a near forty percent 667 00:26:41,800 --> 00:26:46,800 Speaker 3: strikeout rate in the second half, Like that is truly horrendous, 668 00:26:47,320 --> 00:26:50,000 Speaker 3: uh for James Wood? Like that, I mean that is 669 00:26:50,040 --> 00:26:52,560 Speaker 3: that is really Like that makes Nick Kurtz look like 670 00:26:53,119 --> 00:26:55,920 Speaker 3: Jacob Wilson forty percent strikeout rate. 671 00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:58,800 Speaker 4: So on top of that, so he has to rectify that. 672 00:26:58,880 --> 00:26:59,800 Speaker 4: James Wood also has a. 673 00:26:59,800 --> 00:27:02,679 Speaker 3: Made ground ball issue that I think is gonna is 674 00:27:02,720 --> 00:27:06,639 Speaker 3: gonna put a pretty low lid on his home run ceiling, 675 00:27:06,680 --> 00:27:09,000 Speaker 3: at least for now. Again, just like with Roman Anthony, 676 00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:10,960 Speaker 3: I think someday James Wood's gonna be really good. 677 00:27:11,280 --> 00:27:12,920 Speaker 4: At this price, you're banking. 678 00:27:12,600 --> 00:27:15,480 Speaker 3: On James Wood being much much better than the second 679 00:27:15,520 --> 00:27:17,399 Speaker 3: half version that we saw, and the way the pitchers 680 00:27:17,400 --> 00:27:20,040 Speaker 3: adjusted to James Wood in the second half last year. 681 00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:22,440 Speaker 3: I at this price, I don't want I don't want 682 00:27:22,440 --> 00:27:23,120 Speaker 3: any part of it. 683 00:27:23,520 --> 00:27:25,520 Speaker 1: Well, Ryan, do you also kind of attribute the second 684 00:27:25,560 --> 00:27:27,200 Speaker 1: half to the fact that he just doesn't have enough 685 00:27:27,240 --> 00:27:28,439 Speaker 1: lineup protection around him? 686 00:27:28,440 --> 00:27:29,600 Speaker 2: I mean, we've seen that happen a. 687 00:27:29,600 --> 00:27:32,600 Speaker 1: Lot where these young players when they're the only piece 688 00:27:32,640 --> 00:27:35,760 Speaker 1: in that lineup, if you don't have somebody hitting behind them, 689 00:27:36,040 --> 00:27:38,320 Speaker 1: you will see them struggle, and you will see frustrations 690 00:27:38,320 --> 00:27:39,479 Speaker 1: and they just kind of compound. 691 00:27:39,520 --> 00:27:41,120 Speaker 2: Because baseball is such a mental game. 692 00:27:41,160 --> 00:27:43,520 Speaker 1: Do you factor that in at all too, Not that 693 00:27:43,640 --> 00:27:46,159 Speaker 1: it's better necessarily on paper this year, but do you 694 00:27:46,160 --> 00:27:48,080 Speaker 1: put that in also to the maturity level of what 695 00:27:48,200 --> 00:27:50,160 Speaker 1: is a player too? It was like I remember Jadie 696 00:27:50,160 --> 00:27:52,000 Speaker 1: Martinez right back in the day when he came up 697 00:27:52,240 --> 00:27:53,959 Speaker 1: not a lot of line of protection around him in Houston. 698 00:27:54,040 --> 00:27:57,080 Speaker 1: He goes to Detroit where Victor Martinez and Miguel Cabrera there, 699 00:27:57,080 --> 00:27:59,680 Speaker 1: and all of a sudden he becomes Jadie Martinez, a 700 00:27:59,720 --> 00:28:01,600 Speaker 1: pretty good player at that. So how about do you 701 00:28:01,640 --> 00:28:04,280 Speaker 1: equate to the lineup protection really failing Wood in this 702 00:28:04,480 --> 00:28:05,280 Speaker 1: line up for the Nats. 703 00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:07,919 Speaker 3: You know, I don't really know, but I also don't 704 00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:09,800 Speaker 3: know that it really matters because it's the same crew 705 00:28:09,840 --> 00:28:13,320 Speaker 3: coming back this year, right, It's gonna be the same context, 706 00:28:13,320 --> 00:28:15,560 Speaker 3: and actually with an even worse pitching staff. I mean, 707 00:28:15,800 --> 00:28:18,120 Speaker 3: the National has just signed Zach Lttel is their quote 708 00:28:18,200 --> 00:28:21,119 Speaker 3: unquote sp one. I know Kid Cavali is starting on 709 00:28:21,200 --> 00:28:23,280 Speaker 3: opening Day, which which is which is nice, But I 710 00:28:23,280 --> 00:28:25,800 Speaker 3: think it's gonna be a similarly brutal team context for 711 00:28:26,560 --> 00:28:27,480 Speaker 3: James Wood this year. 712 00:28:28,440 --> 00:28:32,679 Speaker 1: All right, So great stuff, gentlemen, Casey Bubba, Ryan Bloomfield 713 00:28:32,760 --> 00:28:35,040 Speaker 1: Bubba and the bloom here joining us here.
