15
00:00:48,280 --> 00:00:50,159
Speaker 2: week to go until the Winter meetings, I say, there's

16
00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:52,440
Speaker 2: a non zero chance that we get some action again

17
00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:53,720
Speaker 2: during this call.

18
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:59,000

19
00:00:59,040 --> 00:01:03,480
Speaker 1: Hymn Book is after the Rule five draft. The Rule

20
00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:06,000

00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:10,679
Speaker 2: In this episode, we are going to break down several

22
00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:13,640
Speaker 2: Yankees prospects that we need to talk about headed into

23
00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:17,120
Speaker 2: next year, among them George Lombard Junior. We're gonna talk

24
00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:20,319
Speaker 2: about Spencer Jones and find out if he's legit, if

25
00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:23,360
Speaker 2: the power numbers can translate. We're gonna talk about the

26
00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:27,039
Speaker 2: return of Chase Hampton. We're gonna talk about Elmer Rodriguez,

27
00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:30,360
Speaker 2: who used to be known as Elmer Rodriguez Cruz. But

28
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:32,600
Speaker 2: we think, I think, with an unanimous decision, that we've

29
00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:34,640
Speaker 2: decided he's dropped the cruise because that's what it's showing

30
00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:36,959
Speaker 2: up like everywhere. And then we're gonna look way ahead

31
00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:41,679
Speaker 2: at Dax Kilby and I'm gonna get Josh's pick for

32
00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:45,720
Speaker 2: a general prospect to break out this year. So let's

33
00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:50,360
Speaker 2: begin with George Lombard. I proclaim this that summer up

34
00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:55,400
Speaker 2: George first pick a couple of years ago, twenty sixth

35
00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:59,400
Speaker 2: overall pick. He looked incredible in spring training last year.

36
00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:03,280
Speaker 2: He's got the prototypical shortstop body six' two one ninety

37
00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:07,560
Speaker 2: and his defense has been. Fantastic and What i've seen,

38
00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:10,280
Speaker 2: him he's known for having a high BASEBALL. IQ i

39
00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:11,960
Speaker 2: saw him hit for some. Power he didn't hit for

40
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:13,760
Speaker 2: a lot of power in the minor, leagues and he

41
00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:17,320
Speaker 2: only hit two thirty six through his first two minor league.

42
00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:21,880
Speaker 2: Campaigns how does the industry View George Lombard junior at

43
00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:25,160
Speaker 2: this point and is he still looking like a stud

44
00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:28,440
Speaker 2: or is he starting to kind of feel, like you,

45
00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:30,560
Speaker 2: know he might not live up to expectations after a

46
00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:33,919
Speaker 2: couple of down years, statistically well mean.

47
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:37,079
Speaker 1: A, COUPLE i mean he had one half of a down. Year.

48
00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:41,360
Speaker 1: STATISTICALLY i think he he annihilated at HIGH a this

49
00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:44,280
Speaker 1: year and then you know struggle as a twenty year

50
00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:46,400
Speaker 1: old In DOUBLE, a which will happen from time to.

51
00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:49,720
Speaker 1: Time that that's. NATURAL i said it in a chat this,

52
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:52,640
Speaker 1: morning like if you take the best college sophomore and

53
00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:55,520
Speaker 1: throw him in The Eastern, league he's going to. STRUGGLE

54
00:02:56,120 --> 00:03:01,360
Speaker 1: i think right now the industry isn't as high on

55
00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:04,920
Speaker 1: him as it, was BUT i think it's still like

56
00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:07,840
Speaker 1: all of very good sort of type, player like a

57
00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:10,120
Speaker 1: fifty five grid player instead of a sixty or sixty

58
00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:13,080
Speaker 1: five so a really, good maybe one Time all star.

59
00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:16,240
Speaker 1: Player because of the polish that comes to the skill,

60
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:19,359
Speaker 1: set there's stuff to. Improve they're pretty candid about the

61
00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:21,800
Speaker 1: fact that he needs to improve his bat path to

62
00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:24,480
Speaker 1: get to velocity up in the. Zone he needs to get,

63
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:27,079
Speaker 1: stronger he needs to improve his bat. Speed but there's

64
00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:29,079
Speaker 1: a lot of skills. There now he's got to get

65
00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:32,560
Speaker 1: more of his man body to accentuate those and turn

66
00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:32,919
Speaker 1: them into.

67
00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:35,920

Speaker 1: lot of good, there AND i WOULDN'T i. Understand AND

131
00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:47,719
Speaker 1: i saw a lot of sentiment this morning in the

132
00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:53,159
Speaker 1: chatter this. Afternoon there was a little uh panic about

133
00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:56,920
Speaker 1: kind of his rough start at DOUBLE a this, year

134
00:06:56,960 --> 00:06:59,120
Speaker 1: a rough finish at DOUBLE, a which is whatever it

135
00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:03,120
Speaker 1: happens rough and hi a last year. Too if he

136
00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:06,640
Speaker 1: starts like a house of fire in twenty twenty, six

137
00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:08,320
Speaker 1: that wouldn't surprise me at. All.

138
00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:13,040
Speaker 2: Nice, well let's talk about somebody else who's gotten a

139
00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:15,920
Speaker 2: lot of big expectations because he's a very big man's

140
00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:20,800
Speaker 2: pomp Pumps Spencer, jones who hit thirty five home runs

141
00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:25,840
Speaker 2: and drove in eighty runs this year in the minor.

142
00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:28,200
Speaker 2: Leagues he had one hundred and seventy nine, strikeouts though

143
00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:31,440
Speaker 2: good speed stole twenty nine. Bases my question to you,

144
00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:35,240
Speaker 2: is Is Spencer jones a guy who's on the verge

145
00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:37,080
Speaker 2: of taking a major step or is he on the

146
00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:42,000
Speaker 2: verge of losing his prospect status or. Both he radically

147
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:44,640
Speaker 2: altered his stance last year and he went on one

148
00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:46,800
Speaker 2: of those tears like you wouldn't. BELIEVE i, Mean i'm

149
00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:49,400
Speaker 2: sure you're familiar with. This he went absolutely ballistic for

150
00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:51,560
Speaker 2: about three weeks there where it seemed like he was

151
00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:54,000
Speaker 2: hitting a home run every day and these weren't wall.

152
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:56,040
Speaker 2: Scrapers he was hitting the ball four hundred and forty

153
00:07:56,040 --> 00:07:58,000
Speaker 2: four hundred and fifty. Feet it seemed like about every

154
00:07:58,080 --> 00:08:01,800
Speaker 2: five or six at. Bats, so, well where Is Spencer

155
00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:05,120
Speaker 2: jones right now in the eyes of the industry in

156
00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:06,680
Speaker 2: terms of a, prospect.

157
00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:13,440
Speaker 1: Super high? RISK i understand he can do what he

158
00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:17,280
Speaker 1: did in that little stretch before the trade deadline where he,

159
00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:19,280
Speaker 1: went you, know he became the best hitter in the

160
00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:21,640
Speaker 1: in the. SPORT i would, caution, like you, KNOW i

161
00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:24,840
Speaker 1: watched all those home runs and a lot of them

162
00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:27,440
Speaker 1: were like eighty nine to ninety two down the. Middle

163
00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:29,880
Speaker 1: like he got a lot of cookies and he knew what's.

164
00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:33,400
Speaker 1: Doing he did Take Andrew painter deep on decided to

165
00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:36,559
Speaker 1: be not a. Cookie but you, know there was a

166
00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:39,760
Speaker 1: lot of a lot of noise in that whole sample,

167
00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:43,400
Speaker 1: there and they'll admit that even during that sample, size

168
00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:46,080
Speaker 1: there was not a whole lot of great swing. Decisions

169
00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:49,840
Speaker 1: and from a personal you know, standpoint you, KNOW i

170
00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:51,760
Speaker 1: put him out this this. Morning he's number six in

171
00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:54,720
Speaker 1: the system with a thirty hit, tool and that's a

172
00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:56,360
Speaker 1: future Gride like right, now if you put him in

173
00:08:56,360 --> 00:09:00,120
Speaker 1: the big, leagues it'd be a twenty hit tool and

174
00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:04,200
Speaker 1: he just needs to make more. Contact that's really the

175
00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:06,240
Speaker 1: long and short of. It the STAT i have in

176
00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:10,520
Speaker 1: here was among PLAYERS i believe with one hundred or

177
00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:13,280
Speaker 1: more plate, appearances his forty two point six percent with,

178
00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:16,520
Speaker 1: rate according to our, data was tied for the very

179
00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:20,080
Speaker 1: worst in the, sport which you, know it's not what you,

180
00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:22,640
Speaker 1: want and just for, people.

181
00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:29,040
Speaker 2: Just for people who who, who just for people who don't,

182
00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:32,600
Speaker 2: Understand like the scouting grade, system what is a twenty hit? Tool,

183
00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:35,520
Speaker 2: right it's a twenty to eighty, Scale so twenty would

184
00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:37,160
Speaker 2: be basically bottom of the.

185
00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:40,760
Speaker 1: List, yes not basically it would be the worst of the.

186
00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:43,560
Speaker 1: Worst it'd be you're hitting one.

187
00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:49,120
Speaker 2: Hundreds, okay so not Even Joey gallo really just but

188
00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:49,920
Speaker 2: with that kind of.

189
00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:53,840
Speaker 1: Power, no, no, Again i've said this before when that

190
00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:56,720
Speaker 1: that name comes, Up Joey gallo never struck out two

191
00:09:56,800 --> 00:10:00,360
Speaker 1: hundred times in the minor. Leagues, wow That's jones did

192
00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:02,200
Speaker 1: that last Year and if he doesn't have the back

193
00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:04,640
Speaker 1: injury this past, year he might have done it. Again,

194
00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:09,440
Speaker 1: yo this is a bigger concern For Spencer jones than

195
00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:14,200
Speaker 1: it ever was For Joey, Gallo and Unlike gallo or

196
00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:19,920
Speaker 1: unlike Like, Jones gallo had elite outfield defense and. ATHLETICISM i,

197
00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:21,480
Speaker 1: MEAN i think we talked about this last TIME i.

198
00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:26,160
Speaker 1: TALKED i Saw Joey gallo play shortstop and make The

199
00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:29,200
Speaker 1: jeter jump. Throw like that's the kind of athlete we

200
00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:32,440
Speaker 1: are talking. About i've seen him play center, Field i've

201
00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:34,640
Speaker 1: seen him do all sorts of. Things that's not the

202
00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:36,079
Speaker 1: player That Spencer jones.

203
00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:40,839
Speaker 2: Is, well what About Spencer jones on? Defense his you,

204
00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:44,440
Speaker 2: know ability to play center? Field you know his? Speed

205
00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:47,040
Speaker 2: what about the other tools that come along With Spencer.

206
00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:51,079
Speaker 1: Jones he's he's a promulent to use a word that's

207
00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:54,960
Speaker 1: not a, word center fielder with an average. ARM i,

208
00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:57,480
Speaker 1: mean you got better outfielder if you read this the

209
00:10:57,520 --> 00:10:59,840
Speaker 1: list this, morning and the best center field defender in

210
00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:03,440
Speaker 1: system right now Is Dylan. Lewis like this Is he's

211
00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:09,120
Speaker 1: a great Above Spencer jones in terms of fielding. Speed Like,

212
00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:12,040
Speaker 1: JONES i think his best spot is going to wind

213
00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:12,319
Speaker 1: up in a.

214
00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:17,600
Speaker 2: Quarter, Okay, WELL i don't want to Depress yankees fans too,

215
00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:20,960
Speaker 2: much but it's. OKAY i do want to talk about

216
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:23,200
Speaker 2: another guy who might get their hopes up a little.

217
00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:26,600
Speaker 2: Bit this is a guy THAT i am very interested

218
00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:29,600
Speaker 2: in seeing how he, develops and this Is Chase. Hampton,

219
00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:32,520
Speaker 2: now he was supposed to make his debut last, year

220
00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:34,880
Speaker 2: probably would have made his debut last year had he

221
00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:37,439
Speaker 2: not gotten. Injured this is a guy who had pretty

222
00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:40,480
Speaker 2: good numbers in the minor. Leagues two eight batting average

223
00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:42,640
Speaker 2: against one hundred and sixty one strikeouts in one hundred

224
00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:45,040
Speaker 2: and twenty five and a third innings coming off Of

225
00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:48,640
Speaker 2: Tommy john. Surgery so you, know he's not fresh in

226
00:11:48,679 --> 00:11:50,600
Speaker 2: a lot of fans'. Minds nobody got to watch him

227
00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:53,720
Speaker 2: at all last. Year tell us About Chase hampton as a?

228
00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:56,520
Speaker 2: Pitcher is he that next breakthrough?

229
00:11:56,600 --> 00:12:03,160
Speaker 1: Guy we'll SEE i. AGAIN i wrote this morning in

230
00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:09,000
Speaker 1: chat THAT i hope this surgery cleared up whatever else ailed.

231
00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:12,040
Speaker 1: Him only Time i've ever seen him personally was in

232
00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:16,760
Speaker 1: twenty four and he looked. Terrible IF i didn't know

233
00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:19,040
Speaker 1: who he, WAS i would have you, know IF i

234
00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:21,079
Speaker 1: were a, SCOUT i would have put an organizational player

235
00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:25,600
Speaker 1: great On that's how bad it, was but now that

236
00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:27,520
Speaker 1: then you get the surgery and you, Understand, okay there

237
00:12:27,559 --> 00:12:30,760
Speaker 1: was probably something behind that. Problem at his, best you,

238
00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:32,320
Speaker 1: know he WAS i believe he was in the top one.

239
00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:33,880
Speaker 1: Hundred he might have been pretty good in the top one,

240
00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:36,920
Speaker 1: Hundred but then he got the arm, injury AND i

241
00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:40,199
Speaker 1: believe there was a leg injury and a core injury

242
00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:43,240
Speaker 1: and all sorts of. Things and part of the reason

243
00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:45,719
Speaker 1: he's in the ten right now is just because The

244
00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:48,880
Speaker 1: yankees have graduated guys like Do minyaz and war And,

245
00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:52,600
Speaker 1: schlitler and they've TRADED i think twelve guys at the.

246
00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:55,600
Speaker 1: Deadline like if they didn't do anything at the. Deadline

247
00:12:55,600 --> 00:12:58,520
Speaker 1: first of, all there would be pitchforks still lining up

248
00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:02,160
Speaker 1: At Brian cashman's. Office but you have a guy Like Griffin,

249
00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:04,360
Speaker 1: herron who was among the minor league leaders in the

250
00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:07,200
Speaker 1: era in, there or a guy Like Raphael, flores or

251
00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:09,840
Speaker 1: maybe A Parks harbor or A Rock riggio in. There

252
00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:12,240
Speaker 1: it's just not a very deep system right. Now there's

253
00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:14,199
Speaker 1: some good stuff at the. Top but WHEN i got

254
00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:16,840
Speaker 1: down past, EIGHT i was, Like, OKAY i don't have

255
00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:19,280
Speaker 1: a lot of choices right. Now i've got a few,

256
00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:23,559
Speaker 1: names but like nobody who really performed or was healthy

257
00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:26,240
Speaker 1: or anything like. That sound, like you know. What they

258
00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:29,200
Speaker 1: protected him on the forty man, roster which tells me

259
00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:31,040
Speaker 1: they think he has a chance to impact the big

260
00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:33,560
Speaker 1: league roster this. YEAR i think he's gonna be delayed

261
00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:36,760
Speaker 1: past minor past opening day while he's still. Rehabs, yeah, yeah.

262
00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:39,080
Speaker 1: YadA but if they think he's got a chance to

263
00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:41,560
Speaker 1: thlee in the big leagues this, year it's good enough for. Me.

264
00:13:42,679 --> 00:13:46,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, well we need somebody to break. Through here is

265
00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:50,720
Speaker 2: another guy that we can talk. About Elmer rodriguez twenty

266
00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:53,840
Speaker 2: one years, old two point five to nine career era

267
00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:57,560
Speaker 2: in the minor leagues. Now he was acquired from The

268
00:13:57,600 --> 00:14:01,520
Speaker 2: Red sox as part of The Carlos narvaya. Deal in

269
00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:03,960
Speaker 2: terms of pitching, prospects he's the guy THAT i watched

270
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:06,560
Speaker 2: the most highlights. OF i think his stuff is. ELECTRIC

271
00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:09,840
Speaker 2: i like those kind of lanky guys who throw. HARD

272
00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:11,679
Speaker 2: i don't know something about those guys like. That it

273
00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:14,160
Speaker 2: reminds me of like a pedro or something like. That

274
00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:18,160
Speaker 2: what are your thoughts On Elma rodriguez and where he

275
00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:20,320
Speaker 2: stands as a prospect headed into twenty twenty.

276
00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:24,120
Speaker 1: Six, well he Ain't pedro Because pedro was five to

277
00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:27,960
Speaker 1: seven and this guy's sixty, four so there's a there's

278
00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:31,040
Speaker 1: a big difference. There but he's got a lot of.

279
00:14:31,080 --> 00:14:33,720
Speaker 1: STUFF i, mean there's the only PLUS i have listed

280
00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:35,720
Speaker 1: on his card or two plus that are control in the,

281
00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:38,280
Speaker 1: fastball which is, great but he's also doesn't have anything

282
00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:42,040
Speaker 1: below a fifty. Here he's got a huge, arsenal like

283
00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:45,320
Speaker 1: a lot of prospects. NOWADAYS i, mean there's, one, two, three, four,

284
00:14:45,560 --> 00:14:49,800
Speaker 1: five six pitches in that, mix, fastball, curveball, slider, sweeper, cutters,

285
00:14:49,840 --> 00:14:52,120
Speaker 1: splitter so he's got a lot of. Answer there are

286
00:14:52,120 --> 00:14:54,040
Speaker 1: two seamer in there, too but we don't separate out two,

287
00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:56,760
Speaker 1: seamers SO i think it's a seven pitch. Mix he

288
00:14:57,200 --> 00:14:59,680
Speaker 1: has a lot of answers for a lot of, problems

289
00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:01,760
Speaker 1: AND i do think he sees the big leagues at

290
00:15:01,800 --> 00:15:04,080
Speaker 1: some point this. Year he's got to get a handle

291
00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:05,720
Speaker 1: on the big league. Baseball, first you got to get

292
00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:08,240
Speaker 1: a handle on the auto strike, zone which you know

293
00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:12,640
Speaker 1: has messed with many a picture of his. Stature so

294
00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:14,960
Speaker 1: there's a there's a couple of small hurdles in his,

295
00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:17,840
Speaker 1: Way BUT i do think the guy has a chance

296
00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:20,120
Speaker 1: to get to the big leagues this year, summer sometime

297
00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:23,360
Speaker 1: in the summertime and impact the big league. Roster AND

298
00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:27,440
Speaker 1: i said this, morning upside of like a three, Start

299
00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:29,400
Speaker 1: so you, know it's not like it not like A.

300
00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:32,000
Speaker 1: Schlitzler but nobody at this time last year if you

301
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:33,640
Speaker 1: told Me schlitler was going to do what he did

302
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:36,440
Speaker 1: toward the end of the, season everybody would have said

303
00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:36,640
Speaker 1: you were.

304
00:15:36,640 --> 00:15:40,640
Speaker 2: Insane but, YEAH i don't think anybody saw that. COMING i,

305
00:15:40,680 --> 00:15:44,080
Speaker 2: mean we were talking about The schlitzler thing about how

306
00:15:44,120 --> 00:15:46,800
Speaker 2: he suddenly developed, velocity and you were telling, me the

307
00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:50,280
Speaker 2: guys just develop. Velocity now it's just something that. Happens

308
00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:53,400
Speaker 2: what Does Elmer rodriguez need to? Develop is it just

309
00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:57,320
Speaker 2: the secondary? Stuff, Basically, no it's it's not even.

310
00:15:57,400 --> 00:16:00,120
Speaker 1: That it's just how to use what he, has and

311
00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:01,760
Speaker 1: how to learn how to set up hitters instead of

312
00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:05,200
Speaker 1: out stuffing, them how to you use this pitch in

313
00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:08,160
Speaker 1: discount and that pitch in, discount and just kind of

314
00:16:08,520 --> 00:16:11,960
Speaker 1: putting the final codes of polish on himself before he's.

315
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:17,160
Speaker 1: Ready there's lots of stuff the that that just needs

316
00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:19,280
Speaker 1: to come together that really makes a big difference in

317
00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:21,960
Speaker 1: those small, moments you, know like sometimes you'll hear something

318
00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:25,400
Speaker 1: that we'll say, like, uh he needs to feel his position. Better,

319
00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:29,880
Speaker 1: okay like, THAT i don't THINK i need to tell

320
00:16:29,920 --> 00:16:32,560
Speaker 1: you when that has come up in the in the recent.

321
00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:35,680
Speaker 1: Past these things make a big.

322
00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:39,680
Speaker 2: Difference are to cover, FIRST.

323
00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:44,240

324
00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:47,280

00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:51,480
Speaker 1: the playoffs LIKE PfP first day of spring. Training there's

326
00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:53,760
Speaker 1: all sorts of things that need to be done that

327
00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:56,480
Speaker 1: aren't necessarily things you see on a scouting card or

328
00:16:56,480 --> 00:17:00,240
Speaker 1: you see on the highlights or things like that in the.

329
00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:04,040
Speaker 1: Future so he's, close BUT i wouldn't expect, him you,

330
00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:04,720
Speaker 1: know In.

331
00:17:04,960 --> 00:17:08,359
Speaker 2: April, okay so there is somebody who's you, know probably

332
00:17:08,359 --> 00:17:10,000
Speaker 2: a little bit further. Away BUT i got to talk

333
00:17:10,040 --> 00:17:11,840
Speaker 2: about this guy because of the way you wrote about.

334
00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:15,399
Speaker 2: Him Dax. KILBY i have a nephew Named. DAX i

335
00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:19,440
Speaker 2: love that. Name, Uh and apparently this guy has some

336
00:17:19,520 --> 00:17:22,240
Speaker 2: freakish back to ball. Skills tell us who The yankees

337
00:17:22,320 --> 00:17:23,800
Speaker 2: drafted here In Dax.

338
00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:29,119
Speaker 1: Kilby they got a STUD i, Mean i'll put it this,

339
00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:33,000
Speaker 1: way LIKE i my rolodex is filled with more scouts

340
00:17:33,040 --> 00:17:35,639
Speaker 1: than you guys can. Imagine and when this guy started

341
00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:38,359
Speaker 1: playing in The Florida State, LEAGUE i got texts from not,

342
00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:42,440
Speaker 1: one not, two but three scouts from outside organizations not

343
00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:44,919
Speaker 1: affiliated with The yankees at, all, saying, hey you have

344
00:17:45,119 --> 00:17:47,359
Speaker 1: him way too low on your list right. Now we

345
00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:49,679
Speaker 1: slotted him in at like fifteen or something because he

346
00:17:49,760 --> 00:17:52,960
Speaker 1: wasn't super high on our draft, board but he. STARTED i,

347
00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:54,920
Speaker 1: MEAN i had a conversation the other day with a

348
00:17:54,920 --> 00:17:58,280
Speaker 1: scout who put it puts it in a lot simple.

349
00:17:58,359 --> 00:18:00,760
Speaker 1: Term but what does this guy do that's really that's

350
00:18:00,840 --> 00:18:03,119
Speaker 1: really stands. Out, well he hits the ball, hard and

351
00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:06,040
Speaker 1: he hits the ball, often WHICH i, mean it's really

352
00:18:06,119 --> 00:18:09,480
Speaker 1: as simple as. That he's got a really strong ability

353
00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:12,720
Speaker 1: to not swing and miss and not. Chase there's gonna

354
00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:14,760
Speaker 1: be a lot of guys who don't swing and, miss

355
00:18:15,320 --> 00:18:17,600
Speaker 1: but they will chase a. Lot and the chase doesn't

356
00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:21,080
Speaker 1: necessarily mean a miss means like if you guys remember

357
00:18:21,119 --> 00:18:23,280
Speaker 1: a guy like guy that name the Name billion's, studio

358
00:18:23,640 --> 00:18:26,280
Speaker 1: he could hick, anything but he would chase a lot

359
00:18:26,320 --> 00:18:28,480
Speaker 1: of stuff out of his own be weak. Contact you

360
00:18:28,560 --> 00:18:30,280
Speaker 1: just don't get a lot of swinging miss this. Guy

361
00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:33,360
Speaker 1: when he, swings he has the ability to make, contact

362
00:18:33,359 --> 00:18:35,760
Speaker 1: he has the ability to damage and if he's a freak.

363
00:18:35,880 --> 00:18:40,560
Speaker 1: Athlete to hear these guys on the inside gush over

364
00:18:40,680 --> 00:18:45,399
Speaker 1: him is SOMETHING i haven't seen or heard in a.

365
00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:48,800
Speaker 1: While the question, here Will dak's get to DOUBLE a this?

366
00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:51,960
Speaker 1: Season i'm not gonna go all out and say, Yes

367
00:18:52,359 --> 00:18:56,840
Speaker 1: but the way the minor league calendar, works if, he you, know,

368
00:18:56,920 --> 00:18:59,840
Speaker 1: CONTINUES i think he starts back at low. End if

369
00:18:59,840 --> 00:19:03,320
Speaker 1: he hits there and hits it HIGH, a then he

370
00:19:03,359 --> 00:19:05,480
Speaker 1: could get to DOUBLE a for. That, camuo like the

371
00:19:05,560 --> 00:19:08,440
Speaker 1: studs in the last few, years do get too low

372
00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:10,840
Speaker 1: way over the last couple of weeks or, months depending on,

373
00:19:11,280 --> 00:19:13,840
Speaker 1: weeks usually depending on who's in the playoffs and who's.

374
00:19:13,880 --> 00:19:16,439
Speaker 1: Not and it's usually just to get a cum or,

375
00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:21,879
Speaker 1: accumulated familiar with a summer set or something like, that

376
00:19:21,920 --> 00:19:24,119
Speaker 1: and here's where you're gonna, live here's where the wa wai, is,

377
00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:28,240
Speaker 1: whatever all those good. Things but it wouldn't be out

378
00:19:28,280 --> 00:19:31,040
Speaker 1: of the question for a guy like that to get

379
00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:34,120
Speaker 1: to DOUBLE a by seasons. END i wouldn't like bank.

380
00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:38,680
Speaker 2: Oors, Well i'm very excited to see A yankee prospect

381
00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:41,120
Speaker 2: and with a left handed, swing that's a contact. Hitter.

382
00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:45,919
Speaker 1: Again And i'll say this the WAY i wrote the,

383
00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:50,119
Speaker 1: list it was. INTENTIONALLY i said at the end of

384
00:19:50,119 --> 00:19:54,520
Speaker 1: the summation that there's a non zero chance that this

385
00:19:54,520 --> 00:19:56,240
Speaker 1: guy is the number one prospect by the end of

386
00:19:56,240 --> 00:19:58,959
Speaker 1: the year in the. SYSTEM i, mean that's assuming you, Know,

387
00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:05,719
Speaker 1: Rodriguez Crew rodriguez And lombard stay in the. System this

388
00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:09,280
Speaker 1: guy could leap both of. THEM i there was ten

389
00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:11,520
Speaker 1: percent of me that wanted to put him number one right.

390
00:20:11,560 --> 00:20:14,880
Speaker 1: Now and now he brought me into into their board

391
00:20:15,040 --> 00:20:17,960
Speaker 1: and he showed me their little magnetic depth chart. Board

392
00:20:19,560 --> 00:20:21,119
Speaker 1: it would be a non zero chance he'd be at

393
00:20:21,119 --> 00:20:24,560
Speaker 1: the top of it right. Now like that's how effusive

394
00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:28,800
Speaker 1: their praise was over this young. Man but in the,

395
00:20:28,920 --> 00:20:34,000
Speaker 1: end WHAT i said, Was, Okay lombard has Mastered LOW,

396
00:20:34,040 --> 00:20:36,440
Speaker 1: a and he's done really good things At HI. A

397
00:20:37,080 --> 00:20:40,159
Speaker 1: he's got a chance to be pretty good. TOO i

398
00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:42,280
Speaker 1: don't want to just throw what he And rodriguez have

399
00:20:42,359 --> 00:20:45,200
Speaker 1: done in the trash immediately and jump.

400
00:20:45,280 --> 00:20:50,639
Speaker 2: Him, yeah, Well i'm. Excited i'm. Excited i'm. EXCITED i am.

401
00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:54,280
Speaker 1: TOO i think you'll see them in the breakout game

402
00:20:54,359 --> 00:20:54,840
Speaker 1: at the very.

403
00:20:54,800 --> 00:20:58,360
Speaker 2: Least do you think that he's gonna hit for more

404
00:20:58,400 --> 00:21:00,480
Speaker 2: power as he as he kind of puts on. MUSCLE i,

405
00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:02,720
Speaker 2: mean he looks like he's a he's a pretty lanky.

406
00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:05,040
Speaker 2: Kid but generally if he hit the ball hard like,

407
00:21:05,119 --> 00:21:09,000
Speaker 2: that the power will. COME i, mean he hits the ball.

408
00:21:09,119 --> 00:21:12,880
Speaker 1: Hard. Now i'm trying to bring up his data right

409
00:21:12,920 --> 00:21:18,000
Speaker 1: now for. You it's it's pretty darn. Good let me

410
00:21:18,240 --> 00:21:22,680
Speaker 1: just AND i know this is great, podcasting but the

411
00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:25,440
Speaker 1: the it's not a slap hitter right. Now it's a

412
00:21:25,480 --> 00:21:27,520
Speaker 1: guy who when he hits, it he hits the barrel

413
00:21:27,720 --> 00:21:30,919
Speaker 1: and he produces exit d loos that are better than

414
00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:34,440
Speaker 1: you'd expect for a guy his age and. Size let's,

415
00:21:34,440 --> 00:21:37,000
Speaker 1: say bringing up The yankees on our little cheat sheet

499
00:25:53,200 --> 00:25:55,000
Speaker 1: him shut him. Down but WHEN i talked to some

500
00:25:55,040 --> 00:25:57,399
Speaker 1: of their people during the, summer it was kind of, Like,

501
00:25:57,400 --> 00:26:00,239
Speaker 1: hey just watch this. Guy this guy might be might

502
00:26:00,280 --> 00:26:03,040
Speaker 1: be the real, deal and he'll be somewhere in the

503
00:26:03,040 --> 00:26:05,440
Speaker 1: eleven to twenty. Range for, THIS i haven't written it,

504
00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:07,280
Speaker 1: Yet so if you want to hack my computer and

505
00:26:07,320 --> 00:26:08,239
Speaker 1: try to find, it it's not.

506
00:26:08,280 --> 00:26:13,840
Speaker 2: THERE i don't have the tax skills for. That, yeah you.

507
00:26:13,760 --> 00:26:18,240
Speaker 1: Could probably find better targets than my. Computer but in any,

508
00:26:18,240 --> 00:26:22,640
Speaker 1: case in any, case, yeah that would be the guy

509
00:26:22,680 --> 00:26:26,720
Speaker 1: where THAT i would kind of zero in. On and

510
00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:30,879
Speaker 1: you Mentioned, Legrand, HEY i think He's i've said this

511
00:26:30,880 --> 00:26:33,320
Speaker 1: for two or three years. Now the industry thinks Hees Dellan.

512
00:26:33,359 --> 00:26:37,280
Speaker 1: Betansas that's kind of what we're talking. About that's the

513
00:26:37,320 --> 00:26:41,040
Speaker 1: upside at the very. Least AND i understand that's not a,

514
00:26:41,080 --> 00:26:44,200
Speaker 1: starter but that's the, best one of the best relievers

515
00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:46,840
Speaker 1: in baseball for a very long, time very long, time

516
00:26:46,880 --> 00:26:49,560
Speaker 1: but a long. Time and you'll take that every day

517
00:26:49,560 --> 00:26:51,399
Speaker 1: of the. WEEK i Think yankees fans remember how Good

518
00:26:51,480 --> 00:26:54,159
Speaker 1: Dellan betances was in that spurt or four or five

519
00:26:54,240 --> 00:26:57,480
Speaker 1: years or whatever it. Was that's WHY i have him

520
00:26:57,480 --> 00:27:00,359
Speaker 1: Over hess because that kind of impact reliever is a

521
00:27:00,359 --> 00:27:03,600
Speaker 1: little more, VALUABLE i think than a four, starter WHICH

522
00:27:03,600 --> 00:27:06,440
Speaker 1: i think is what has can. Be it's, big kind

523
00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:08,800
Speaker 1: of not going to knock you out with, anything but

524
00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:10,439
Speaker 1: he'll heeds some innnings for.

525
00:27:10,480 --> 00:27:14,159
Speaker 2: You, well what About Roderick. Arius now he's somebody that

526
00:27:14,200 --> 00:27:16,680
Speaker 2: you got a lot of questions about in your chat this.

527
00:27:16,800 --> 00:27:19,199
Speaker 2: MORNING i have not been too impressed with. Him he

528
00:27:19,280 --> 00:27:22,800
Speaker 2: was obviously one of those international signees right After Jason,

529
00:27:22,840 --> 00:27:25,560
Speaker 2: demnez who also hasn't become a. Superstar But i'm still

530
00:27:25,560 --> 00:27:27,600
Speaker 2: optimistic that he's going to be a good. Player what

531
00:27:27,640 --> 00:27:31,720
Speaker 2: are your thoughts On Roderick, Arias.

532
00:27:31,080 --> 00:27:33,680
Speaker 1: He might not even make my thirty quite, honest like

533
00:27:34,359 --> 00:27:36,960
Speaker 1: he has not gotten, better more and much better back to.

534
00:27:37,040 --> 00:27:41,639
Speaker 1: BALL i don't recall him moving To HI a this,

535
00:27:41,720 --> 00:27:44,320
Speaker 1: year which is that's a. Sign if they have you

536
00:27:44,359 --> 00:27:46,320
Speaker 1: do a full repeatable level and they don't even move,

537
00:27:46,359 --> 00:27:50,199
Speaker 1: you that's not. Great he's got that same back to

538
00:27:50,240 --> 00:27:53,679
Speaker 1: ball problems As Spencer jones. Does but These Spencer, jones you,

539
00:27:53,720 --> 00:27:59,080
Speaker 1: know kind of mashed at the lower levels and eventually

540
00:27:59,119 --> 00:28:01,399
Speaker 1: a DOUBLE. A he showed up out of shape this.

541
00:28:01,480 --> 00:28:02,960
Speaker 1: YEAR i, mean the thing that he's got going for

542
00:28:03,040 --> 00:28:04,840
Speaker 1: him right now is he still the best infield arm

543
00:28:04,880 --> 00:28:07,720
Speaker 1: in the. System i'll put it that. Way but someone asked,

544
00:28:07,760 --> 00:28:10,240
Speaker 1: me like as the ship sailed on, Him, yeah kind

545
00:28:10,240 --> 00:28:13,600
Speaker 1: of has right. Now it's, unfortunate but, yeah he Needs

546
00:28:13,680 --> 00:28:16,760
Speaker 1: unless he unless he has a super turnaround this, offseason

547
00:28:17,359 --> 00:28:18,840
Speaker 1: it's kind of hard to see him figuring in the

548
00:28:18,840 --> 00:28:20,000
Speaker 1: big leagues in any form or.

549
00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:23,920

553
00:28:35,520 --> 00:28:39,520
Speaker 1: Huer Bryce. CUNNINGHAM i hope he can get to the

554
00:28:39,560 --> 00:28:42,880
Speaker 1: form that he was before the, injury because the guy

555
00:28:42,960 --> 00:28:45,280
Speaker 1: before the injury was probably gonna be the number two

556
00:28:45,400 --> 00:28:47,960
Speaker 1: or three prospect in the. System but it doesn't sound

557
00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:49,640
Speaker 1: like it was the same guy after the, injury which

558
00:28:50,160 --> 00:28:53,800
Speaker 1: tends to. Happen there's a lot Of If hampton comes

559
00:28:53,840 --> 00:28:57,440
Speaker 1: back really, good that's. Something if thatcher heard comes back

560
00:28:57,480 --> 00:28:59,200
Speaker 1: and shows the form that he, was you, know had

561
00:28:59,200 --> 00:29:02,480
Speaker 1: before he was, drafted that's. Something BUT i would put

562
00:29:02,480 --> 00:29:05,240
Speaker 1: it this, way the system is pretty shallow outside of

563
00:29:05,240 --> 00:29:08,160
Speaker 1: the top right. Now but it's for good. Reasons you

564

567
00:29:17,760 --> 00:29:22,480
Speaker 1: just they're gone right. Now and just sometimes that. Happens

568
00:29:22,120 --> 00:29:24,640
