Speaker 1: we've heard you bagging us one just now. Didn't touch
Speaker 1: one thing. You guys are too quiet. We're not quiet,
Speaker 1: which it's commercially we were quiet. I'll tell you. It's
Speaker 1: Chris Ventur. He's the closing. What's up, Chris? So what
Speaker 1: are we doing? Breath? Yeah, a little bit stairs, Yeah,
Speaker 1: because I had to finish my work. I was like,
Speaker 1: I'm finishing this. I don't care. I like that finished. Yeah.
Speaker 1: My dad was freaking out a little bit. He says,
Speaker 1: where's Chris supposed to be here? All too Franks are
Speaker 1: here too, Franks Stample's that's that's one. That's two. That's one.
Speaker 1: So Frank has made the joke that we were talking
Speaker 1: about our um our division winners here and franksly, we
Speaker 1: put up my laptop. We don't. We both laughed at
Speaker 1: that during the commercial, so he he liked that joke,
Speaker 1: so so we uh he said it again, sir. We
Speaker 1: didn't have as much of a reaction the second time,
Speaker 1: and there was a third time for everybody get the joke.
Speaker 1: Now there's there's Franks lapt So I like it. I
Speaker 1: like the old school waste, like the old school waste.
Speaker 1: So should we close our latimes then? I mean we could.
Speaker 1: I know every team in every division, so I don't
Speaker 1: really need to look at it. I'm good over unders.
Speaker 1: I don't know over unders. You don't know. That's okay,
Speaker 1: So let's go to bed of division. We're gonna start
Speaker 1: in the American League East. I'm gonna give you the division.
Speaker 1: You gotta give me the ax I want to start.
Speaker 1: We'll go right around the table Frank Stanford Jr. Up
Speaker 1: or the American League East of Division here obviously with
Speaker 1: the Yankees and Red Sox and defending World Series champion
Speaker 1: Red Sox. But I think the Yankees are gonna win
Speaker 1: and it's not a homer. Pick'll find out why later on.
Speaker 1: But you know the Red Sox, I don't They tried
Speaker 1: to cut payroll a little bit after they win the
Speaker 1: World Series. They don't bring back Craig Kimber. I have
Speaker 1: concerns about the bullpen. Is the offense gonna live up
Speaker 1: to what they did last year as well? Same thing
Speaker 1: goes for the starting pitching. Can Chris Sales stay healthy?
Speaker 1: You know, Yankees are dealing with the Sevareino injury, but
Speaker 1: they bring in James Paxxon. I think the pitching will
Speaker 1: be better. I think they have some depth. They've lengthened
Speaker 1: the lineup at DJ le Mayhew. So I think it's
Speaker 1: very close. I need this division is close, But I'll
Speaker 1: take the Yankees. Chris Venta same Frank too, Yankees. I'll
Speaker 1: take the yan and yeah, it's not no, it's not
Speaker 1: a homeward thing. I'll pick the Red Sox if I
Speaker 1: think they're better. They're not better. They're they're bullpens stinks
Speaker 1: and that's going to kill them there, I mean kill
Speaker 1: them side by side. Yankees bullpen versus Red Sox. It's
Speaker 1: not even close. It's not even close. A L Central.
Speaker 1: We go over to Big Frank Stafel or Little Frank
Speaker 1: staff Frank devil senor. We got Cleveland Indians come, a
Speaker 1: really good team and they got great pitching, great pitching,
Speaker 1: Ventures agrees Little Frank. I will also take the Cleveland
Speaker 1: Indians on the back of their pitching. Please get well soon,
Speaker 1: holds the mirrors Indians across the board. I'm also taking
Speaker 1: the Indians. So not much fun here yet. Let's go
Speaker 1: to the A L West. Boring from the AL West feeling.
Speaker 1: We're also the Astros through this division, Frank h surprise
Speaker 1: and rise. Greg. I will also take the Houston nash Rows.
Speaker 1: All right, this is who is your first AL wild card.
Speaker 1: I'm not ready. You have to be ready. This is
Speaker 1: this is your turn. Not ready. This is a little
Speaker 1: bit more of a thinka you know what I'm saying,
Speaker 1: you do? This is coming. Yeah, I guess I would
Speaker 1: go with the Boston Red Sox socks. I get another
Speaker 1: clean sweet we should do we are doing the first one.
Speaker 1: I'm also going with the Red Sox. Frank, you go
Speaker 1: going to Red Sox, Greg, we have great show here
Speaker 1: going ale wild card too, rank, Well, you know where
Speaker 1: I'm going with this, Greg, going with my Minnesota Twinkies.
Speaker 1: I've been very excited about the lineup, the movies that
Speaker 1: they've made in the off season. I think they probably
Speaker 1: have to acquire some more starting pitching. Maybe they bring
Speaker 1: in a guy like Dallas Kaiko um like the bullpen
Speaker 1: to see what happens here. But yeah, I'm really really
Speaker 1: excited about the Twins lineup. They beat up on everyone
Speaker 1: else in the division. I think it's actually close between
Speaker 1: them and the Indians. The Twins the second wild card.
Speaker 1: All right, Frank me too, I also have the Minnesota Twins.
Speaker 1: It's like echo in here. It sounds like, uh, you're
Speaker 1: a ready, I'm gonna go with the Twins, right. I mean,
Speaker 1: I don't like any other team. I hate to keep
Speaker 1: sweeping it, but we're gonna do. We're gonna do. Also,
Speaker 1: a dog horse pick. You want to make a horse pick,
Speaker 1: you could have picked them over the wild the Twins.
Speaker 1: I don't want to do that because it's too well,
Speaker 1: I'm not picking the Twin controversy. I'm not picking the Twins.
Speaker 1: White Sox. You know I got my kid so I
Speaker 1: don't think the White Sox are gonna know I got
Speaker 1: you know, I got my dog horse d It's not
Speaker 1: my wild card, Kampa Bay Rays going under the race.
Speaker 1: That's not That's not right at it. You're the wild
Speaker 1: card in the AL. It's a Mike Trouts. The Angels
Speaker 1: be your second wild card. You're you're remaining consistent from yesterday.
Speaker 1: You took the over for the Angels and you said that, Mike,
Speaker 1: they were gonna do it on the act of correct. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that means they're also going to do it on the
Speaker 1: back of Trevor k Hill, Matt Harvey, Felix pa in
Speaker 1: their fifth starting pitchers. And you name that player, Greg, Well,
Speaker 1: it's not it is I can because his name is
Speaker 1: Chris Stratton. That is correct, Chris Stratton bad. Yeah, there
Speaker 1: you go. It sounds like a playoff team to me, Greg,
Speaker 1: other other than Jose Barrios, who's the Twins pitchers? Gibson right,
Speaker 1: Mike right, could be nice, could be nice. You know,
Speaker 1: this is what we're talking about. He could do it.
Speaker 1: He's better than everybody else in the age of theyring that.
Speaker 1: I don't know. Angel can bring Day whoever brings in
Speaker 1: Dallas Kaiko. When the second walk off, what are the if?
Speaker 1: Then he then know. But if it's an AL team,
Speaker 1: that will be my second walk team brings in Kaiko
Speaker 1: because I was I'm with Frank Sina. It was between
Speaker 1: the Rays and the Twins for me, really close. All right, ed, Alias,
Speaker 1: let's start with Frank Stafell Sr. Philadelphia Philly Lilly's. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm going the same route. No, I'm sorry, I'm sorry
Speaker 1: New York Mets Colleges. I will make it three for
Speaker 1: three with different teams. I will go with the Nationals.
Speaker 1: I want to take the Braves. Well, considering I took
Speaker 1: the under yesterday Greg at eighty five and a half,
Speaker 1: I will be not not be taking the Atlanta Braves,
Speaker 1: I will also be taking the Washington national Really, you're
Speaker 1: with me on the National National League East team. Look
Speaker 1: to have the pitching. I think there's a little Ben
Speaker 1: sim Ben Samon's Bill Simmons Patrick Ewing theory here. What's that?
Speaker 1: So that His theory is that when you lose your
Speaker 1: best player for whatever reason, things get better subtraction. And
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna have a Brice get that line
Speaker 1: the Nats. It's good talented rotations good. It's a good team.
Speaker 1: Anthony Rendon, Victor Robs. A lot of people are excited
Speaker 1: about ROAs with you, all right, they bring in Brian Doeser.
Speaker 1: I mean, what's not to like about the National? Frank,
Speaker 1: you go next win the NL Central, to win the
Speaker 1: NL Central. I took the over on the team yesterday. Again.
Speaker 1: I think there's a really tough division to the NL
Speaker 1: Eastern NL Central I think are probably the two toughest.
Speaker 1: There's a lot of parody in both of these division.
Speaker 1: We're gonna take the St. Louis Cardinals, the Cardinals, Chicago Cubs.
Speaker 1: Why do you like the Cups? The best team? M
Speaker 1: v p um That is my m VP, by the way,
Speaker 1: and then spoiler alert and then my no. The rotation.
Speaker 1: The rotation solid and it's deep, and I like that
Speaker 1: tends a little week. Honestly, why Hendricks doesn't suck? He's
Speaker 1: not doesn't. He's not very good either, But these are
Speaker 1: like your your three, four or five starters. They're not that.
Speaker 1: I went down the Marlins line up yesterday and you
Speaker 1: were telling me how good every pressure wasn't bad. All
Speaker 1: I say is all I'm saying, is he good? Blest,
Speaker 1: He's the worst linrotation. Right when you Jarvish pitch last year,
Speaker 1: we're haunting, we're counting on you, Darvish, We're not counting
Speaker 1: on him. But he just told me you just three four,
Speaker 1: Dark is the two or Lester should't even be the one.
Speaker 1: So that's time you told about But Darvish, right when
Speaker 1: he pitches, he could be one of the best pitches.
Speaker 1: And he pitched last year and he sucked. Well, he's hurt,
Speaker 1: but then he got hurt. He's probably already cars he's
Speaker 1: already here, he's probably gonna get hurt. I agree with that, sure,
Speaker 1: But whatever he could give him, he could give you. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Hamal is a solid dude. He's still a solid pit.
Speaker 1: They don't have an ace, that's an issue. They don't,
Speaker 1: but they have a deeper They have a deep rotation
Speaker 1: with guys that have experienced and have been good pitches.
Speaker 1: Many is. There was a tweet that someone that you
Speaker 1: read from someone that said you can interchange their one
Speaker 1: through five. You can. They do have quality from top
Speaker 1: to bi. I don't like John Lester Hendricks is what
Speaker 1: he is. He's fine. What should I start? You know,
Speaker 1: he's bad. He's the world yesterday together and I told
Speaker 1: you players to avoid, and John Lester was one of them.
Speaker 1: If you're paying attention, I paid attention. I just messed up,
Speaker 1: probably so old you don't remember from it, just messed up.
Speaker 1: I'm taking. I'm taking the car. I don't like the
Speaker 1: Cubs either. I don't even have them in interesting. Nobody takes,
Speaker 1: Nobody takes the Ruwers, nobody takes. No one takes the
Speaker 1: Brewer went game seven the NLCS last year and they
Speaker 1: won the divisions. Look, the bullpens banged up, Greg, there's
Speaker 1: no Cory enable it. It's just Josh Hayder. A lot
Speaker 1: of the guys who were in the bullpen last year
Speaker 1: and now in the rotation. I'm sorry the Bruis don't
Speaker 1: have Junior Guerda to to go. You know, fifteen and
Speaker 1: seven with three to L Right, all right, you have
Speaker 1: to mix and match with a lot of young kids.
Speaker 1: They're opening they started, I mean you're bashing the Cubs. Greg,
Speaker 1: They're opening day started. Is Wholis shot seen? So man,
Speaker 1: I didn't pick the Brewers, the Cardinals, Cardinals and l West.
Speaker 1: I'll go first to the Dodges. Well, Greg, you know
Speaker 1: the Padres are in this division, right, this is a
Speaker 1: crazy division. I just want to jump on the bandwag
Speaker 1: to do it. My national league team jump. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: buy a Padres hat jump brown and yellow one by
Speaker 1: the way, jump who else? I also have the dock,
Speaker 1: so I thought me too, all right, and should my hat?
Speaker 1: See rocks Rocky rocks over the Rockies all day. See
Speaker 1: rock confidently, confidently, Oh Freeland, that's what he does. I
Speaker 1: know you love her. I love those two. They're one, two, three.
Speaker 1: Gray's gonna break out. It's about time it's gonna happen.
Speaker 1: I heard the same thing from Michael Floria lives now
Speaker 1: you're here. Didn't work out. I like John Gray to
Speaker 1: start the year against the Marlins. I don't know what
Speaker 1: he does after that, and l wild card Frank staffle
Speaker 1: Sor will begin with you first one. I got the
Speaker 1: Milwaukee Brewers, all right, makes sense? Absolutely? Venture fighting Phils
Speaker 1: Phillies are it makes sense. Frank, Let's go Mets. Your
Speaker 1: first and now wild card spot goes to the Metsies.
Speaker 1: So I have the Mets and the nation. I agree
Speaker 1: with venture. My first wild start car spot goes to
Speaker 1: the Phillies. I'm with the adventure. I go with the
Speaker 1: Phillies there, Yeah, wild card too, I said, n L
Speaker 1: wild card. I love that. Don's calling you out here
Speaker 1: too about oh my god, and L wild card too.
Speaker 1: I will say that this goes to between several teams here.
Speaker 1: This is what makes it hard tough, real tough, tough,
Speaker 1: total opposite of the al. I was gonna say it
Speaker 1: goes to the wet go with the Cubs, And five
Speaker 1: minutes he did, he did, Why are you making the playoffs?
Speaker 1: Wild card game? All right? I have the Milwaukee Brewers.
Speaker 1: This was a really tough call. You spent five minutes
Speaker 1: before that bashing the Brewers talking about Uli seen starting
Speaker 1: exactly right. But the but their offense is better than
Speaker 1: the Chicago Cubs'll find out. Frank Nationals. Alright, the Nats
Speaker 1: my dog horses. The Rockies dark horses. They made the
Speaker 1: playoffs last dark horse division winning. I was in a
Speaker 1: dark horse. If they made the playoffs last year and
Speaker 1: so many days, too many teams day, and it's not
Speaker 1: really a dark horse. Many good teams given a dark horse,
Speaker 1: then what a dark horse? Tell me? The Padres? I
Speaker 1: honestly thought about putting the Padres. That's dark You want
Speaker 1: to me the Reds. That's a dark horse, the dog horse,
Speaker 1: thension winner. They ain't gonna da I don't have no
Speaker 1: faith in them, not actually, No matter how much they have,
Speaker 1: no matter how much they have, they change things. They're
Speaker 1: gonna be better than they were, but they're not gonna
Speaker 1: be enough. It's not gonna be enough to get them
Speaker 1: into playoffs. Well, second wild Card, I'll go. Padres doing it,
Speaker 1: I'm doing it. I like it. You don't have the
Speaker 1: Dodgers making the playoffs. You have the Rockies, don't have
Speaker 1: the Dodgers. Dodgers, no Cardinals, known, no Nationals. This and
Speaker 1: these teams are all gonna beat each other up. And
Speaker 1: you we've seen him baseball before, where a top team
Speaker 1: all of a sudden drops to become the middle of
Speaker 1: the road team. What happens with the Dodgers already dealing
Speaker 1: with a lot of injuries, The Cardinals want sprises me.
Speaker 1: I don't like their rotation. You don't have the Dodgers, right,
Speaker 1: I don't have any lives. I don't like the Cardinals
Speaker 1: rotation gets a little too weak already. That's where that's
Speaker 1: where it ends to Hudson. That's where it ends, though,
Speaker 1: Wayne Right, Mica walk on, but probably see Alex Rays
Speaker 1: in the rotation. Maybe maybe by the time he gets
Speaker 1: in the rotation, they already be out of the playoffs.
Speaker 1: Good though line is nice. It's it's good, it's not great.
Speaker 1: The Bruise lineup blows their line up out of the water.
Speaker 1: I think, I don't think so. I don't know. They
Speaker 1: have a good heart, they have a good heart. Of
Speaker 1: the line up back ends not that good. Colton Wong,
Speaker 1: who's in the back back for the that's the only
Speaker 1: one that's bad in the line Same with Colton Long.
Speaker 1: That's not true. Yes, it is partners that other guys
Speaker 1: I don't trust. In the Cardinal what's his name, Harrison Bader,
Speaker 1: I don't trust him, but they're not expecting exactly. That's
Speaker 1: another hole in the lineup. So you have you have
Speaker 1: the holes in the line up in the brew Crew
Speaker 1: and the brew Crew. I just can't trust them with
Speaker 1: their pitching. So they're not making the playoffs for me either.
Speaker 1: You might be able to argue that the Cardinals best
Speaker 1: hitters are at least as good or better than the Brewers.
Speaker 1: I just got I feel like they got a little
Speaker 1: more quality and yellow like you guys are arguing that
Speaker 1: two teams that are not in ventures playoffs, you don't
Speaker 1: have the Cardinals or Brewers, Cubs. There's too many good teams.
Speaker 1: I think the Cubs are unbelievable. I think that one
Speaker 1: of the best teams. Have no Cardinals, no Brewers, no Dodgers, Rockies.
Speaker 1: I'm doing San Diego is the backup wild card team.
Speaker 1: Probably aren't gonna make it past that walk all around though,
Speaker 1: and they got the Phillies, who I think so much
Speaker 1: better this yield. How could you have the padres over
Speaker 1: some of these teams, like they don't have pitching. You
Speaker 1: just buying it. I'm buying crazy construng like the fourth half.
Speaker 1: He's a beast. People don't realize it yet. Is he
Speaker 1: alrighty was bad, but he always though he's developing a
Speaker 1: third picture what we'll see and his and his second
Speaker 1: pitch is lights out lights I don't know what called slider.
Speaker 1: It's like a slider changeut. He's filled. He doesn't throw
Speaker 1: hard though, That's the thing I don't like. He throws
Speaker 1: like low nineties, but he will. He's young, he's twenty
Speaker 1: years old. I mean, I wanted to take the pot.
Speaker 1: This is a team that's trying to make moves. They
Speaker 1: start in Tatis's. They got Machado, they got old boy
Speaker 1: at Closer like I mean boy Kurby Yates. They're ready
Speaker 1: to make moves. The Padres. I'm believing in it. I'm
Speaker 1: on it. I'm believing it. He believes, he believes. What
Speaker 1: could you do? You got to do is believe that right,
Speaker 1: and you got a in eighties six too, he believed
Speaker 1: all right, World series picks, Let's do it, frank save it.
Speaker 1: After the break, we'll either World Series picks, We'll give
Speaker 1: you our World Series winner. We'll get into Scions VPS,
Speaker 1: the rookies of the year. And I'm sure if Franksine

Speaker 1: Thank Davy waiting all fast break for this pack. Who
Speaker 1: I feel like, you're really not that excidem pre being sarcastic,
Speaker 1: not at all. I picks four. The World Series are
Speaker 1: Houston Astros going up against the Washington National Nats versus Astros,
Speaker 1: and your champion is Battle of Pitching. I'm gonna take
Speaker 1: the Houston Astros the Astros. The Astros are also my champion. Actually,
Speaker 1: everything that I do, he wants to draft the same
Speaker 1: players went first. Players. Now he wants to snipe. Now
Speaker 1: he wants to snipe my picks. Well, you went first, though,
Speaker 1: so he takes my he's taking my picks. So if
Speaker 1: you went second, you would have been taking his pick. Correct,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be taking everybody, to be fair, if you
Speaker 1: would have watched Doc Jock on Monday, I announced this.
Speaker 1: Thank you've paid attention on our programming on the network.
Speaker 1: All right, well you know what, next time, I'll just
Speaker 1: have I have Chris Venture edit all the NBA. Oh
Speaker 1: you're long done by the time Dot Jock start. I
Speaker 1: think you are Dot checking out on Monday nights. But anyway,
Speaker 1: Astros will win the World Series. But they will not
Speaker 1: be playing the Nationals especi as they do like the Nationals.
Speaker 1: They can't get over the hump. They will be playing
Speaker 1: the St. Louis Cardinals will now though without Bryce Hart,
Speaker 1: they will be playing the St. Louis Cardinals. The Cardinals too, well,
Speaker 1: actually those are the two teams same. Cardinals are always
Speaker 1: a good same between me and the Nations, the NLCS
Speaker 1: right there, I agree with the National Cardinal. I agree
Speaker 1: with you, Frank Okay, well, I couldn't make up my mind,
Speaker 1: so I gotta I got a two way scenario. The
Speaker 1: Astros taken out the Cardinals, and I got the Yankees
Speaker 1: taking out the Philadelphia Phillies. Which one is your first?
Speaker 1: Which one is your official pick? You only have one first,
Speaker 1: the first one if you're following me, all right, surprise
Speaker 1: Chris Ventra, Yes, what's your World Series? Brick wild Um,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with the Astros over the Cubs. So
Speaker 1: you have we are all taking I had the Astros,
Speaker 1: I've had the Astros in my head. One of us
Speaker 1: are taking the Houston Astros to win the World Serious.
Speaker 1: The best team, the best team. The best has already hurt.
Speaker 1: You might not start an opening day. He's dealing with
Speaker 1: a neck injury. He's always hurt. He's always he's always hurt. Now,
Speaker 1: I think the lineup is still I don't care about
Speaker 1: the regular season. They'll get by. I mean, you know,
Speaker 1: it's still really good and lots of death. They bring
Speaker 1: in Michael Brantley, by Tyler White. They have guys they
Speaker 1: don't have Kyle Tucker. Astros are tied with the Red
Speaker 1: Sox for the second best odds to win the World Series.
Speaker 1: Looking at that now six and a half. At six
Speaker 1: and a half, guess right, Yankees are the best ots
Speaker 1: in the World Series or six to one. But you
Speaker 1: know what great I think, you know, as as strong
Speaker 1: as we feel about the Nationals and Cardinals, that's worth
Speaker 1: throwing a little wager on because you're getting both of
Speaker 1: them at one. For you. Ventra Rocky one, I didn't
Speaker 1: pick him to go to the World to your team.
Speaker 1: Now you can either the Cardinals or Cardinals at plus
Speaker 1: seven fifty to win the National League and the Nationals
Speaker 1: at plus eight fifty to win the National League. Kind
Speaker 1: of interested, yes, kind of interested. All right, let's go
Speaker 1: to the cy Young Award next, gentlemen, look at the

Speaker 1: a few weeks ago. Though I said it, I didn't
Speaker 1: know that. You guys have stop now you know I
Speaker 1: didn't want it. I'm telling you my tweet. All right,
Speaker 1: and Ela Young Award, I'm gonna go first, and everyone
Speaker 1: call me me. I'm going with Walker Bueller. Walker Bueller
Speaker 1: is my pickie, and I'm worried about Annings limit here
Speaker 1: form Walker h He told me last He told me
Speaker 1: Blake's now went won eight last year and won it
Speaker 1: first time. Now, pretty ridiculous season going Walker Bueller. Frank
Speaker 1: who got Walker Bueller? All right? I'm actually going with
Speaker 1: the clear that we had a big debate about during
Speaker 1: our starting picture preview against Walker Bueller guard for back
Speaker 1: to back New York Mets. You think he's gonna pitch
Speaker 1: the innings? Actually, you know, we'll see what happens. But um, actually,
Speaker 1: remember Greg, I chose Jacob Degram correctly last year. He
Speaker 1: get back to back met starting pitchers here for the
Speaker 1: National League. Frank sor, Hey, I have Scarza and de Gram,
Speaker 1: but I'm gonna go with Skarza. Alright, Max s Curzer, guy,
Speaker 1: I didn't pick like he pick. He didn't pick him
Speaker 1: first pick. He let him on the board. From my trouts,
Speaker 1: I did at least the other was interested in Szer
Speaker 1: and Andram and syndagds boring and he got, oh we
Speaker 1: look hazy Arno. All right, that's a good one. I
Speaker 1: like that one. Going to carry that team. Alright, Syndages
Speaker 1: actually an interesting one because he was hurt your a
Speaker 1: l m VP. We go to Frank's senior first again.
Speaker 1: I have two people again between Bregman and Trout. Bregman
Speaker 1: and Trout. He got I think, I think, I think
Speaker 1: I want to go with Bregman. Alex Bregman. Bregman, that's good,
Speaker 1: that's you are. Guy over Wager Talk likes Alex Bregman
Speaker 1: is his favorite. The really argue that, look, he's gotten
Speaker 1: better every single year. He gets better from what he
Speaker 1: did last year. And in the Astros are as good
Speaker 1: as we expect him to win the World Series. I
Speaker 1: will go next and I just left the same player
Speaker 1: I selected last year to win the MVP didn't. But
Speaker 1: I'll win it this year. And it's Aaron Judge. I
Speaker 1: know it that we have so many, we have so many.
Speaker 1: We know each other very well. Frank m all right.
Speaker 1: I hope so you got him in the NFBC main event.
Speaker 1: He's I am going to go with Jose Ramirez. Ramirez, Okay,
Speaker 1: who needs a shin or a knee? Right? Like that VP?
Speaker 1: He's not he's coming to play an open end day?
Speaker 1: What do you mean? I wouldn't you know? What if
Speaker 1: they him a couple of days to make sure that
Speaker 1: he's completely healthy, I'll take I'll take that too. But
Speaker 1: Christ you're an l m v P. You already now?
Speaker 1: Ova abvi, i'vi Bias nobody. The only guy close, I
Speaker 1: would say is Chris Bryant. That's the only one of
Speaker 1: the one I might. I might. I would bet on
Speaker 1: that because he's probably love so the nl m V
Speaker 1: love the Cups players. Yes, so Bias is one? What
Speaker 1: is what is Bryant? I would like? I like that
Speaker 1: bet Bryant or Bias briant one. All right, you wanna
Speaker 1: change it? No, No, I'm just saying I'm gonna bet
Speaker 1: on both of them, probably Frank Senior, I'm sure you
Speaker 1: have two for this. You have to Aronado and gold Schmidt,
Speaker 1: and the winner is Eronado Nolan, My guy, Nolan ar
Speaker 1: second high six to one. Alright, right, standfall if he
Speaker 1: picked myne very angry mine, he's not on the board yet,
Speaker 1: is not on the board yet. Oh god, they're gonna
Speaker 1: pick the same one. He's actually at thirty to one.
Speaker 1: Same guy, I know it in the same guy. I
Speaker 1: said it on, I said it on, I said it on.
Speaker 1: Did you really choose this player? What is that? Ready?
Speaker 1: D Come on? I tweeted us out weeks ago. Are
Speaker 1: you guys really the same the copycat man? Copycat te
Speaker 1: this weeks ago? And think why Anthony Rendon is gonna
Speaker 1: is gonna win it? There's so many guys you both.
Speaker 1: He's finally gonna hit thirty home runs and the fact
Speaker 1: that he carried the Nationals to win that division without
Speaker 1: Bryce Harper in a tough stout division. They're going to
Speaker 1: give him the m v P. You're getting him a
Speaker 1: thirty two one right now. The other guy that I
Speaker 1: like at thirty one, Franksine, You'll give you a second
Speaker 1: one too. I like Cody Bellinger thirty one. You know
Speaker 1: els I like at thirty to one, good but one
Speaker 1: the brave, surprising people. He gets thirty home runs and
Speaker 1: you know steal problem is not gonna make the playoffs.
Speaker 1: It's exactly right because I don't have them in the
Speaker 1: playoffs exactly I would. I would bet On Rendon and
Speaker 1: Bellinger thirty one. Who happens? How does bel and jer
Speaker 1: How does Bellinger? Rendon thirty one? And a heny O
Speaker 1: Suarez one? Like? What are we doing? What is that
Speaker 1: they're not the same? Reason why that MLB the Show
Speaker 1: has Mac Munsey ninety power and bell and seventy power
Speaker 1: makes no sense. There's no sense logics. Tweeting a snapshot
Speaker 1: snapshots of of his MLB the shot show experience last night,
Speaker 1: Max Monty has more power than by Harper has eight four.
Speaker 1: It makes zero sense. Favorite to win the National League MVP.
Speaker 1: I like that too. I would put a little shackle
Speaker 1: on Harper. Let's go to the Rookies of the Year, gentlemen,
Speaker 1: your American League Rookie of the Year I will go first,
Speaker 1: and I will say, Vladimir Guerrero Jr. I'm changing my
Speaker 1: pigs because I don't want right. Then you can probably
Speaker 1: take my pick. Then well, persons said that I'm sticking
Speaker 1: all right, Then she really comes down to two, right Eloy,
Speaker 1: just two players? Anym you want? Was he after me?
Speaker 1: Danny Jansen? Yeah, that would be something. Kyle Tucker. That's
Speaker 1: a that's a real sleeper. Though. Vladimir Guerrero is the
Speaker 1: only one that goes with Eloy. I like that can
Speaker 1: do with though in the American League, realistically, if you
Speaker 1: had to give a pick outside of the lawyer Vladim Vladimgrood,
Speaker 1: so LAZARDA would have started the year on side, it
Speaker 1: could be LAZARDA would have been Josh James if he
Speaker 1: Josh James, Forrest Whitley, those guys. But there's really nobody
Speaker 1: right now. It looks like it's gonna be Eloy of Las,
Speaker 1: Austin Hayes is in a rookie. Is a rookie, Auston
Speaker 1: he's dealing with an injury. You know it was actually
Speaker 1: give a bold prediction. He might be Actually he's not.
Speaker 1: I don't think I give a bold prediction for Fantasy pros,
Speaker 1: and I said, Auston Hayes wins the American League Rookie
Speaker 1: of the Year with thirty and hits thirty home runs.
Speaker 1: I hit you? What do I hits you? Bold predictions
Speaker 1: Fantasy pros. I don't know. The emailed me and asked me.
Speaker 1: I didn't ask me. Probably I don't submit rankings that
Speaker 1: make sense. But Jonathan Isaaca, Greg Mingo, Horan, Brent honeywellbably
Speaker 1: not enough interesting. There's really great options outside of Eloy
Speaker 1: and the last not to be all chalky and for
Speaker 1: the amount of games played too. Let's look to the
Speaker 1: n L Rookie of the Year award. We'll start with
Speaker 1: Frank Sr. Victor road Less. I believe he does well.
Speaker 1: Would you say it was it was under thirty at
Speaker 1: bats hundred and thirty at bats or fifty innings pitched
Speaker 1: or to service time thing if they've been on the
Speaker 1: roster for for really really long time afterget only had
Speaker 1: fifty nine at bats. Yeah, played in twenty one games.
Speaker 1: All right, who's up next? Up next is Frank from
Speaker 1: mine San Diego Padres. It was just announced that he
Speaker 1: made the opening day roster. You all know who I'm
Speaker 1: taking and it's Chris Paddock. It's not Fernando Tatio at that.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, let's go Paddick. I like it though,
Speaker 1: that's the problem. He's gonna be awesome Chris Paddock, all right,
Speaker 1: what I think you're getting him at thirty to one
Speaker 1: as well? When actually is what it is, right venture,
Speaker 1: I was also going to go to Paddock Paddock, I
Speaker 1: am I'm going to go with Paddy Chris. Passion is
Speaker 1: actually a little bit closer because robots could be awesome,
Speaker 1: tease could be awesome. So it's a little bit tougher here. Nationally, Yeah,
Speaker 1: there's no standout like like Bladden or year. Right, um
Speaker 1: Toto last year? So that was close last year? All right,
Speaker 1: you want one? Yeah, they're too great players. You want one?
Speaker 1: And so I like, you have three words for it,
Speaker 1: just three ready, Let's go Nats. Let's go nuts, Let's
Speaker 1: go nuts. Yeah, you have the Mets coming in last
Speaker 1: place in the division. Somehow, I didn't say last Pete
Speaker 1: Alonzo's not bad. One would be a different. That's a
Speaker 1: really good one, actually a little different. What are they
Speaker 1: what are his odds? Frank, don't they don't have the
Speaker 1: Rekie of your handal sports book. But someone tweeted me
Speaker 1: the other day that they were getting Chris Paddock at
Speaker 1: thirty one. I love it. I really like it. There you, Uh,
Speaker 1: what else you got for it? What? What? What else
Speaker 1: for us? Right? Sing? Any predictions? Anything else? I get

Speaker 1: what I have. Your picture, you come back picture of
Speaker 1: the year. Michael pineda. Wow, he's buying it. You know,
Speaker 1: I thought you only choose Yankees and former Yankees and
Speaker 1: Yankee draft picks and Garrett Cole. There you go, well Yankee,
Speaker 1: you know I have two picks for a National League
Speaker 1: picture as well, the National League. All right, well, wait
Speaker 1: and else I'm scrolling through my ranking. I'm on the
Speaker 1: American League is what we're looking for. Guess American League?
Speaker 1: That's the venture? What am I looking at? The American League? Stuff? First? Uh?
Speaker 1: Comeback player of the year orn't Jakobe Elsbury? No, okay,
Speaker 1: I got one from Frank jose A bra You would
Speaker 1: be a good one for Frank wherever you come back
Speaker 1: from from being a garbage list. It wasn't so bad.
Speaker 1: Least he's not gonna be comeback player of the year.
Speaker 1: I'll give you a picture. Great Aaron Sanchez, shirking League.
Speaker 1: I'm back player of the year. It's a picture Aaron Sanchez.
Speaker 1: All right, I have an answer for that. So Marcus Stroman,
Speaker 1: one of my teams. Stroman to your dad, show your dad.
Speaker 1: All right, we go back to you a venture. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'll go Korea. Even though he's heard already. I mean
Speaker 1: that counts, Carlos, How do you count? How do you
Speaker 1: descide about to come back? A guy that was like
Speaker 1: pretty simpically hurt last year, it comes back. He's pretty
Speaker 1: secleply gonna hurt and bad last year. So it melded
Speaker 1: into one thing like Frank. Frank was the judge. He said, fine,
Speaker 1: you're right, like Correa has a comeback, all right, I
Speaker 1: got one ready to hit her in a picture. Dustin Petroya,
Speaker 1: that's that's a that's a deep one. Yeah, it's come
Speaker 1: back because he didn't play like Dustina. There's my head, Frank, interesting,
Speaker 1: keep scrolling all How about this Greg I don't know
Speaker 1: if he qualifies. He wasn't. I'll let you know. He qualified,
Speaker 1: not to expectation. I don't th he qualifies. He was
Speaker 1: just like he's too young. Iron Buckston, that's my pick.
Speaker 1: He was terrible last year. This is he's always terrible.
Speaker 1: Back from if he hits home runs and so he
Speaker 1: don't even come back player of the year, he'll just
Speaker 1: be good. It'll just be good for once. Try again.
Speaker 1: That one that counts. It's a good one. Cabrera. I
Speaker 1: need I need a picture from you. Venture. Yeah, let's
Speaker 1: go with ah Tigers. I'm trying to think about it. Oh,
Speaker 1: Michael former, he's out all year. I have none. I
Speaker 1: have none. That's it. That's it. He's done. There will
Speaker 1: be no comeback Player of the Year in the air
Speaker 1: pure there will be no comeback player I'm gonna give you,
Speaker 1: like Darrell Cotton, what wait he has, he has nothing
Speaker 1: to come back from either. He's right. When you're out,
Speaker 1: You're right. It's hard. This is the hard cast. I'm

Speaker 1: Isn't a special Olympics something that you would almost say,

Speaker 1: Before we continue on the phone lines seven nine, and
Speaker 1: it's our guy Nathan in j Jersey or some man
Speaker 1: herea up Frank? What's up? Guys? Then please say what's
Speaker 1: up to Frank sor as well? Oh Frank, m hmm.
Speaker 1: We're waiting, So all right, So yeah, so you didn't
Speaker 1: say I don't what's up? Frank theater? There you go. Yeah.
Speaker 1: So I made three Fantasy baseball leagues this year, so
Speaker 1: um so one of them one of them I have Judge,
Speaker 1: you know, one of them. I have Trout the Otherose
Speaker 1: my other league I have Judge My third one, I
Speaker 1: have Springer. So how did those out of those three
Speaker 1: out heelers, who do you think will have the biggest
Speaker 1: here and plus uh? In my opinion, I think Judge
Speaker 1: will be running, will be competing for the MVP this
Speaker 1: year with Trout. So I don't know about Springer. But
Speaker 1: what do you with all out of those three out dealers,
Speaker 1: who do you think we'll have the biggest here? Mike Trout.
Speaker 1: She's the best player in baseball. I'm gonna take Mike
Speaker 1: Trout as well, Greg, and he's earned that contract he's
Speaker 1: mentioned that he was given. He just needs to stay healthy.
Speaker 1: He's best player in baseball. Could easily hit forty home
Speaker 1: runs with twenty seven basses, and you think you expect
Speaker 1: him to carry the Los Angeles Angels all the way
Speaker 1: to the wild Cards. So we'll see if that can happen.
Speaker 1: But that's obviously Mike Trout. I do think that, you know,
Speaker 1: it could be him and Judge battling out for the
Speaker 1: A L m v P. Again, Judge just needs to
Speaker 1: stay healthy, which I think he will. I think he'll
Speaker 1: be fine. He has the upside to hit, you know,
Speaker 1: fifty home runs. We've seen him do it already in
Speaker 1: a great lineup in a great ballpark. Yankees are gonna
Speaker 1: win a ton of games, So yeah, I think he'll
Speaker 1: be up there for a L m v P. Lord Springer.
Speaker 1: To me, he's more of a compiler, right. He's gonna
Speaker 1: play me a lot, obviously, but he's gonna hit all right,
Speaker 1: maybe to thirty home runs, steal you know, eight to
Speaker 1: ten basses, you know, decent batting average to sixty seventies,
Speaker 1: something like that. But to me, he's not really in
Speaker 1: the same conversation as these others. I agree with you.
Speaker 1: I actually agree an l comeback player of the Year
Speaker 1: with hitter and with picture. Well begin with you, for example,
Speaker 1: what's our my dad? All right, we'll go beere with you,
Speaker 1: Frank Staff, hitter doing picture. We'll do a hitter first.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with the grandy man, Curtis. We're talking
Speaker 1: about the Modelins line up. He said he's not so bad, Greg,
Speaker 1: he's not so bad. He's come back player of the year.
Speaker 1: Cording of your pops that that's young players didn't do anything.
Speaker 1: Only guys have a line up that you said that that,
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, my ams got a good line of So
Speaker 1: they're not bad. I do like Brimston, think so Frank.
Speaker 1: You gotta like Brenton and Castro Neil Walker and I
Speaker 1: don't know about him. Brinson lose, lose Briton. He's young. Yeah,
Speaker 1: well he got speed, but you don't got no pop.
Speaker 1: I'm I'm I'm a power every but he knows I'm power.
Speaker 1: Pounds of power, a pound immunion on that model. I
Speaker 1: got one. I'm back player in the National League hitter
Speaker 1: Jung Hogang Jung Hogan. That'll work all right, We're five
Speaker 1: dingers by the really behind the Jungle Gang thing. Huh
Speaker 1: play every day? Okay, Jungle one Chris Bryant. That counts,
Speaker 1: that counts. Look very popular, picks Korea Chris Bryant, but
Speaker 1: probably was terrible last year. I'm picking guys who are
Speaker 1: actually good before you should take Josh Bell. He sucked
Speaker 1: last year. I didn't come back. He's not last year.
Speaker 1: He's not Bosh Bell was not good. He twelve home
Speaker 1: run but he was never really good enough to even
Speaker 1: say he's a comeback place. I mean, we're drafting and
Speaker 1: based on what he did two years ago, I think
Speaker 1: Josh Bell is a comeback place. I guess. I guess
Speaker 1: you could say that from the first season, but it
Speaker 1: was a rookie year. I'm gonna say, I'm gonna go
Speaker 1: along your lines. Then I'll just say Daniel Murphy, that's good.
Speaker 1: That works. No, he was hurt the whole thing. Whatever
Speaker 1: you mean, Colorado the work, thank you. It works better
Speaker 1: than Jong Ho Kan Kong was never good? What when
Speaker 1: was he? And also he didn come back from injury.
Speaker 1: He came out from d u I he's still coming
Speaker 1: back from is he not? Deely? He's got potential, all right,
Speaker 1: let's five and a hundred and three games. Was that
Speaker 1: good enough to qualify as like a comeback player? It's
Speaker 1: crazy to come back. I don't like that, all right,
Speaker 1: you and l come back picture of the year. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna go Alex Ress. Obviously we never't see what it
Speaker 1: could be, but obviously they missed all the last year,
Speaker 1: So I'll go Alex Rass. No, my pick is Greg
Speaker 1: It's pretty easy. When I talked about it early on
Speaker 1: in the show, Jose Quintana is back this year a
Speaker 1: sub four year. I'll go as far as say sub
Speaker 1: three point eight, Okay, Frank, I like Jake the Snake
Speaker 1: Ariana Jake Arietta, Alright, like I like that. One's good one.
Speaker 1: Do you like it? John Gray? John, Okay, I like
Speaker 1: everybody staying on brand there. I got no issues. I
Speaker 1: have no issues with pictures. All right, this chat wants
Speaker 1: to do anything else? Chris, what the chat wants to
Speaker 1: do anything else? Um? I don't know. I don't think so.
Speaker 1: I think they're good. I think we we filled in
Speaker 1: what they needed us to do. They like it, they're
Speaker 1: happy about it. I teased this before. By the way,
Speaker 1: Gregory Polanco played five minutes in a a minor league game yesterday,
Speaker 1: which means he's come back sooner rather than later. I
Speaker 1: was wrong about that potential, you guys by greg Planco.
Speaker 1: If he's available, I own him in a keeper league. Um.
Speaker 1: And it's what we told people to do, right, like
Speaker 1: draft him in a keeper league, because then you have
Speaker 1: him for a good value next year if he's here
Speaker 1: to play all season. But for Gregory Planco, I just
Speaker 1: worry about early on in the season. The shoulder is
Speaker 1: gonna affect his production. The same thing happened to Michael
Speaker 1: Kinfordo last year, So I think he might be able
Speaker 1: to help us closer to the mid season. Greg maybe
Speaker 1: in the second half of the year. I just worry
Speaker 1: that when he first comes back, it's gonna it's gonna
Speaker 1: be hard him to lift the ball and and display
Speaker 1: some of that power that he showed last year because
Speaker 1: he is coming back from my shoulder. I worry about
Speaker 1: that when it comes to Yeah, it's hard to know
Speaker 1: where to draft him. I've been talking to him in
Speaker 1: some drafts, like I want him because I know, especially
Speaker 1: keep like you said, but and he's honestly, he's worth it,
Speaker 1: like he could have a big, monster year where he
Speaker 1: has great value, Like he has that potential. That's why
Speaker 1: I want to talk to him. Problems. I don't know
Speaker 1: where to get him because I love Polanco last year
Speaker 1: because like you said, Yeah, you know, like you said,
Speaker 1: he might be out, you know, longer than we expect.
Speaker 1: He could come back and not be effective for a
Speaker 1: good month or so before he gets back into things.
Speaker 1: Baseball is like that. You need to constantly be doing
Speaker 1: it to stay in the groove, you know, to stay
Speaker 1: in a flow and get momentum, and it might take
Speaker 1: him a while. So I'm worried about that. So I
Speaker 1: usually wait too long and he gets drifted over me,
Speaker 1: But I like Polanco. We also rated Gregory Planco in
Speaker 1: his career, so I don't know that we've overrated him.
Speaker 1: He just hasn't. But you have to remember when you're
Speaker 1: drafting him and you're rushing to pick him up whatnot.
Speaker 1: There was that time in the middle of the summer
Speaker 1: you dropped him last year like that, like that's where
Speaker 1: we were. And obviously you regretted that because he went
Speaker 1: on towards second half of the most part. But he
Speaker 1: was so bad for a time last year that you
Speaker 1: dropped him. So coming back from this major, major shoulder surgery,
Speaker 1: how doing to get that power back? How do you
Speaker 1: get back to playing every day? We said before Tempory
Speaker 1: the expectations, and I think you have to do so
Speaker 1: for Gregory Polanco as well. Yeah, and here here was
Speaker 1: his month by month production. I mean, Marks April last
Speaker 1: year hit one, but he also hit six homers, so
Speaker 1: he gave you some hop. But he was striking sight
Speaker 1: times and twenty six games that wasn't great. And then
Speaker 1: in May he had to thirty two and only hit
Speaker 1: two home runs and he still struck out twenty four
Speaker 1: times in twenty three games. And then this is where
Speaker 1: everything started to turn around. Junie at three oh six July,
Speaker 1: three oh one, August only to eighteen and then September
Speaker 1: at four or nine. Did he come back from injury
Speaker 1: last year going into the season, I think he had
Speaker 1: a full I think he was hurt fully healthy. I
Speaker 1: thought he was fully healthy in the last healthy was like,
Speaker 1: finally he had a fully healthy off season. That's why
Speaker 1: I was buying in last year. And so it took
Speaker 1: him two months just to get back into the group
Speaker 1: of things. Well, so what he was doing last year
Speaker 1: was he was trying to lift the ball too much.
Speaker 1: He really brought into the launch angle revolution. He's trying
Speaker 1: to hit a bunch of fly balls. But if you
Speaker 1: look at Gregory Polanco, his frame, he's not one of
Speaker 1: these guys fly ball is fifty percent of the time,
Speaker 1: Like that's Joey gallow that's Cody Bellinger, someone like that.
Speaker 1: He's a guy that can actually hit. Blanco was a guy.
Speaker 1: All right, maybe he hits fort at the time, he'll
Speaker 1: hit fly balls. You want him like twenty drives, yeah,
Speaker 1: line drive and a fly ball hitter. If he gives
Speaker 1: you homers steals. Last year, early on in the season,
Speaker 1: was trying to lift the ball too much early on. Mhmm.
Speaker 1: Then I think everything kind of evened out and his
Speaker 1: production started to come as the season one of Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, listen, I think he even has power if
Speaker 1: he just hits the way he wants to hit. He
Speaker 1: doesn't have to do launch angle thing. Because he had
Speaker 1: twenty two homers without using all that stuff. I think
Speaker 1: he has the potential of thirty on on his best year,
Speaker 1: and then he could steal bags on top of it.
Speaker 1: He has a lot of talent if he fills out,
Speaker 1: you know a little bit. He's gotta fill out a
Speaker 1: little more. And he's not he's not old. But I
Speaker 1: don't think he lived up to our expectations from when
Speaker 1: he came up, like he was one of these top prospects.
Speaker 1: Remember that group that they had, right, it was like
Speaker 1: Jose To Taboa came up right away raking. He just
Speaker 1: came up king that kid that was remember that it
Speaker 1: was Remember Pedro Alvarez who That's who it was? It
Speaker 1: was Alvarez, Yeah, together, and then it was like Gregory
Speaker 1: Polanco and Marte came up. Yeah, and Alvarez was coming
Speaker 1: after better in his career. Yeah, Marte has been the
Speaker 1: best of the of the Pirates group of guys. Besides
Speaker 1: mccarton came before cutching game before. It was like oh
Speaker 1: eight or O nine came up around then. But I
Speaker 1: remember alvare As. I was big on Alvarez when he
Speaker 1: was coming up. It's like the power of this kid. Yeah,
Speaker 1: this kid's power was crazy. But he struck out way
Speaker 1: too much and he couldn't survive, couldn't hit, and he
Speaker 1: couldn't play defense. You couldn't save. Were you a patrols guy, Greg,
Speaker 1: of course? And the power was crazy and guy's Vanderbilt. Yeah,
Speaker 1: big boy, he's a power guy. Probably. I had him
Speaker 1: a couple of a couple of years, had him playing
Speaker 1: and uh that I was always like, hit a miss
Speaker 1: you know you're gonna hit a wrong, they're gonna strike out.
Speaker 1: It was is mostly missed. What do you what do
Speaker 1: you think of home run RBI season? That big news.
Speaker 1: By the way, officially metals was placed Ladil this afternoon.
Speaker 1: That's very big. It's very big for you. Oh yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: very big for you. We got him in Yahoo needed
Speaker 1: we need we needed that. Medals officially placed in the
Speaker 1: d l um can't I hit a three run home
Speaker 1: Alize looking for other d L stuff hasn't happened yet,
Speaker 1: but we'll wait on it. Um. What do you think
Speaker 1: about Gregory Polanco this year, Frank, this year, I think
Speaker 1: he might be Wait, he might do pretty well this year.
Speaker 1: Too much in on the pirates, guys, That's probably the
Speaker 1: smartest answer. Their lineup, it's not great. No, no, we're
Speaker 1: talking about I'm no hell, I have no faith. I
Speaker 1: have no faith in any of them. Really. If you
Speaker 1: Martin needs to stay healthy, if the star is aligned
Speaker 1: to them, didn't want I'm not that much in on
Speaker 1: because there's nothing around him, right, But honestly, the stall
Speaker 1: is a line and you had Polanco, Bell and Mate
Speaker 1: in the heart of that lineup. I think it could
Speaker 1: be a pretty decent That's what that happened. Never right
Speaker 1: off the time. That happens because the manager they always
Speaker 1: pitched well warm you know, Chris Archer, he's gonna have
Speaker 1: a good game in Tai's still there. They have Mitch
Speaker 1: Keller coming in the organization to pitching is not bad,
Speaker 1: big name pitching prospect. And look they have some pieces
Speaker 1: on offense. Yeah, you know they still have They have
Speaker 1: to come together he still have you know, see what
Speaker 1: Gregory Polanco could give them, but Josh Bell ju Ho
Speaker 1: gong to. So they basically have to be really big overachievers.
Speaker 1: They have to be big overachievers if they want to
Speaker 1: make noise. Basically super tough, super super tough division. As
Speaker 1: we wait for medlsin's the DL he has, right, I could.
Speaker 1: I can't do anything, So I can't move my line
Speaker 1: up around. You can't do it, yes, but for a
Speaker 1: week one? Yeah, it doesn't. Lets me do it for Sunday.
Speaker 1: I'll do it for Sunday. It gives the I can't
Speaker 1: all right, Well, then that's where it really adders because
Speaker 1: that's when we can make pickups or fabrons on Sunday.
Speaker 1: So al so I was able to do that night?
Speaker 1: Did it? Yeah? Make sure you put mad Olson on
Speaker 1: your your deal when you get home. So what you
Speaker 1: just did? Man? We when we put in for these
Speaker 1: uh free agent guys you put in, we were put
Speaker 1: in for two choices. I got both of them. So
Speaker 1: that was kind of weird. And that's what's screwing up
Speaker 1: my roster right now. I'm sorry Corey Dickerson and Adam Frazer.
Speaker 1: So you are in on the about Dickison. Yeah, Dickison's
Speaker 1: in the heart of that lineup. You put those four
Speaker 1: together like doing bad, I had to fit somebody in. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Nickison's not bad. He's in the huddle the line up.
Speaker 1: He could hit doubles before we wrap up, and would
Speaker 1: mind remind you that with all thirty Major League Baseball

Speaker 1: Now you can tell us about Frank. You skipped it
Speaker 1: that hour ago. I think I do have one more
Speaker 1: I have one more question, more questions. Who do you
Speaker 1: think is gonna be worse and have the worst record
Speaker 1: in baseball? San Francisco Giants or the Texas Ranges. I'll
Speaker 1: take none of the above. Well, yeah, I forgot it
Speaker 1: your Yeah, yeah, damn, Yeah, they're really bad. Yeah. What
Speaker 1: about Miami? Miami, they got crapping is pretty good. I'll
Speaker 1: tell you this. I'll tell you this. Miami is gonn
Speaker 1: and over the number. I don't like the Giant set
Speaker 1: all either, but I don't like Texts. If I had
Speaker 1: to choose between those, who I think Texas probably worth Yeah,
Speaker 1: ta Texts Giants and Giants Giants. Johns have made me
Speaker 1: possibly good a decent rotation. When bum Gardner the Giants
Speaker 1: implode this year, they trade Bummy away, They they trade him.
Speaker 1: It's over. Yeah, they're going to trade those. I mean,
Speaker 1: Palm Rans could be all right, I don't know. It's
Speaker 1: it's we're grabbing for strows here, you know what I'm saying,
Speaker 1: Like hoping for the best, but it's a little bit
Speaker 1: more potential. Texas has no pigeon like nothing. They're completely waking.
Speaker 1: Have some hitting, have some hitting. Yea, it picked up
Speaker 1: Drew Smiley in the in the BC League. So you're
Speaker 1: into smiling. Huh, you don't get hurt. He always gets hurt,
Speaker 1: always gets hurt. I'll see if you could. He does
Speaker 1: have a little potential. Tomorrow on the Fantasy Best Friends Forever,

Speaker 1: Maybe we should ask Dr A if he come on
Speaker 1: in the second hour and kind of as like a
Speaker 1: lineup lock welve to one. Well you get I don't know,
Speaker 1: maybe Drew a Ricky someone in Masson will do it
Speaker 1: as well. That could be cool. Get people, Look, a
Speaker 1: lot of people are gonna be playing tomorrow. Maybe Ricky Les,
Speaker 1: let's let's try to do that. I'm wanna. I'll email
