Speaker 1: Was it? I don't know? Was it? Happy Friday? Greg?
Speaker 1: How you doing, buddy? How did you sleep last night?
Speaker 1: I slept really, I slept really well. Oh no, I
Speaker 1: had oh I remember it now. So I had this
Speaker 1: dream and I was like, I gotta tell yeah, wait still, Frank,
Speaker 1: what this dream was about? I could not remember it
Speaker 1: until right now. We don't know what it was. Of course,
Speaker 1: your boy and this guy in charge of tot Wars.

Speaker 1: All of a sudden, they put whoever runs it, who
Speaker 1: runs tot Wars. It's a collection of individual jeff Ericson,
Speaker 1: it was jeff Errickson. Jeff Ericson stepped down and I
Speaker 1: took over it, and I was like, Frank is gonna

Speaker 1: I woke up historical laughing that I was in ar,
Speaker 1: happy that you were somewhat dreaming about me and in
Speaker 1: fantasy baseball. I was, that's how far we can today.
Speaker 1: I woke up. I had the biggest couple of weeks ago.
Speaker 1: Greg didn't even want to talk baseball, and then he
Speaker 1: dreaming about it. It would be the first thing you
Speaker 1: change when it comes to tot Wars. Great everything. What
Speaker 1: does that mean? Oh, the are is a bunch of
Speaker 1: fantasy leagues. I would put money in it. The least
Speaker 1: should be for money. That's the first thing I would do.
Speaker 1: I know that cost money to make money, but they
Speaker 1: should be for money. The experts is it in the industry,
Speaker 1: claim a pride to do it. Everyone running that person
Speaker 1: right now? Some of the notions should we make more money?

Speaker 1: who started the day in the lead at six under.
Speaker 1: He still at six under even through six holes. So
Speaker 1: that that's your w g C leaderboard Mexico City Round
Speaker 1: number two. Let's head over to baseball, and we have
Speaker 1: some spring training action. Top of the first inning, Rangers

Speaker 1: to his manager Louis Rojas, So stay tuned on that.
Speaker 1: Sesspitis missed all of last season with hell surgery. See
Speaker 1: if he makes it full return this season. That is
Speaker 1: your BFF sports Grade news update. Now back to Gregor
Speaker 1: frank other sports grade. The Pelicans a five and a
Speaker 1: half point favoriteccording to what Shaun just said. That's over.
Speaker 1: At four, we get more injury news now, dude, it's
Speaker 1: just think everyone's piling on the Pelicans tonight. This is
Speaker 1: the problem though, Greg, that I've noticed at least, and
Speaker 1: we'll get into fantasy baseball, of course, I feel like
Speaker 1: the Pelicans are somewhat being overvalued with Zion Williamson. Don't
Speaker 1: get me wrong. I'm very excited about combination being overvalued
Speaker 1: and Lili, Yeah, for sure. Like Lillard's been ridiculous since
Speaker 1: the start of the new year. The guy has been
Speaker 1: like dropping fifty points like every other game. Basically, it's
Speaker 1: been awesome points five and a half point dogs at
Speaker 1: home are Portland, Greag, we got MSG after this, he's
Speaker 1: still gonna back up the New Orleans Pelicans. I don't know.
Speaker 1: I'm not allowed to change. You might have to rethink
Speaker 1: things there. That's a lot of points, man, it's a
Speaker 1: lot of a lot of points off. That's one thing guarantee.
Speaker 1: That's an absolutely couldn't reward on that. Let's move into baseball,
Speaker 1: and now's the news and headlines on today's show. Let's
Speaker 1: let's at least bring that up on today's show. Oh,
Speaker 1: we're gonna have our second edition of Multiple Things here.
Speaker 1: It will be the second edition of the white Board
Speaker 1: series with Frank Stanford. We preview picked number one earlier
Speaker 1: this week on Monday, we go to pick number twelve
Speaker 1: here to end the week. So we begin and end
Speaker 1: one to twelve. That's what we'll do later on in
Speaker 1: the program. Also here we will get into money in
Speaker 1: the Bank at Triple Threat Match of pictures and where
Speaker 1: they're going similar adp s. I don't freak and I
Speaker 1: feel differently about the players that are involved in today's
Speaker 1: Money in the Bank contest, So we'll get into that
Speaker 1: coming out, you know, just about ten minutes from now.
Speaker 1: Before we do any of that, though, let's get some
Speaker 1: of the headlines for today, Frank, and that takes us now.
Speaker 1: It begins us well in St. Louis were Paul gold
Speaker 1: Schmidt have a bit of an elbow injury. He says
Speaker 1: it's not a big deal, He's gonna be fine. I've
Speaker 1: been down here for Goldschmit. Really started out cold, got
Speaker 1: hot as the season went on, as he normally does.
Speaker 1: He's usually a pretty slow starter. Are you in on
Speaker 1: Paul gold Schmidt here? No, I'm not in on Paul
Speaker 1: gold Schmith this upcoming season. Greg. That's why I actually
Speaker 1: hate to see this news because whenever there's an injury
Speaker 1: to a player that you weren't in on, that means
Speaker 1: they're gonna fall down the draft board, and players who
Speaker 1: were you were you were in on are going to
Speaker 1: slightly move up the draft board. It was the same
Speaker 1: thing with a u Henyo Suarez. I wasn't going to
Speaker 1: be on Suarez at his draft costs before he had.
Speaker 1: He has slipped a little bit, so maybe I'll look
Speaker 1: more into Suarez now, But Paul gold Schmidt is someone
Speaker 1: that I was not looking at. Greg. The batting average
Speaker 1: has come way down from where it has been, and
Speaker 1: then you're just off all Cardinals. You don't want to.
Speaker 1: I don't think that they're a good team, which is
Speaker 1: crazy to say, because they're like a great organization obviously,
Speaker 1: and they always find a way to win like eighty
Speaker 1: five plus games and they're right in the thick of things.
Speaker 1: But I mean, outside of Jack Flaherty, I don't think
Speaker 1: that they're pitching staff is great. They're trying to make
Speaker 1: Carlos Martinez a starting pitcher again. They're throwing him back
Speaker 1: in the rotation. Um, who's their closer right now? Is
Speaker 1: the Giovanni Diegos. Andrew Miller hasn't been great the past
Speaker 1: couple of seasons. I don't think the lineup is very
Speaker 1: good either. Maybe he'll get better once they call up
Speaker 1: some of these young kids, Dylan Carlson someone they're very
Speaker 1: excited about. Paul Goldschman now k percentage up over back
Speaker 1: to back years. His chase rate was the highest of
Speaker 1: his career. Last year barrel percentage was down. He had
Speaker 1: to sixty. Greg, you have to think, oh, well he
Speaker 1: got unlucky, right, Paul Goldchman normally it's two eighty two
Speaker 1: nine expected batting average to sixty two. Well, there's stole
Speaker 1: a lot of bases, right, it's Paul Golchman does no,
Speaker 1: doesn't steal basis anymore, Greg, So three bases. Where's Paul
Speaker 1: Goldchman in your it's first base rankings? That is a
Speaker 1: fair question. And I'm going to stall while I pull
Speaker 1: that up for you. Uh, and my first base ranks,
Speaker 1: I have Paul gold Schmidt at number seven, whereas he's
Speaker 1: like the fifth starting the fifth, first basement off the
Speaker 1: board usually after after how you just driving him I
Speaker 1: don't way lower seven. Should I lower him more? So?
Speaker 1: I haven't one spot ahead of Josh Bell, But I
Speaker 1: think Josh Bell has a bunch of question marks too.
Speaker 1: Doesn't he rough second half? Well? He acts? The thing
Speaker 1: is he ended the season really well, like August September.
Speaker 1: It was like June July brutal, Yeah, very bad, and
Speaker 1: then auguste care That's that's a good point. But Josh
Speaker 1: Bell probably a player you want the points leagu right,
Speaker 1: good plate discipline, watch a lot doubles streaky. Not a
Speaker 1: good line up either. There in Pittsburgh who got nine?
Speaker 1: So I have Goldschmidt seven, Josh Bell eight. I have
Speaker 1: Dtail Mayhew nine. You could argue that he should probably
Speaker 1: be higher. Fine, and then I have Max Mounsey at ten.
Speaker 1: I like Max Moncy wearing Paul Goldchman. Well that's because
Speaker 1: you played in ob P. For me, he's probably gonna
Speaker 1: hit like. Max Moncy is great in OBA and Paul
Speaker 1: Goldschmidt is too. He still walks a lot. But I
Speaker 1: don't know, man, it's something about Paul Goldschmian. It just
Speaker 1: seems like one of these years it might just fall
Speaker 1: completely on his face. Not a lot of protection in
Speaker 1: the lineup to the RBI. We thought that was last
Speaker 1: year for a lot of the year. So you know
Speaker 1: what's crazy. Hogel Schmid is the eighth first basement off
Speaker 1: the board, so I guess I'm not really down on him.
Speaker 1: He said it was fifth a few willmas again. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and NBC he's the eight first basement off the board.
Speaker 1: I have him at seven. Maybe I should find a
Speaker 1: way to move him lower. I don't really want. I
Speaker 1: just told you how. Move them behind Josh Bell and
Speaker 1: d G the next next month, all right, talk me
Speaker 1: into it, alright. Other news and notes from camp. Carlos
Speaker 1: Carrasco hurt again, which is frustrating. Not um serious thing
Speaker 1: like when he battled last year. But he is banking
Speaker 1: up um and certainly someone you want to see bounced
Speaker 1: back have a nice spring, not of a good start. No,
Speaker 1: he's not, and we reported we not. We reported like
Speaker 1: the BFS are out there on the field watching Carlos Carrasco,
Speaker 1: but we saw the We're not. That is a factual statement.
Speaker 1: But the reports yesterday or that he left he was
Speaker 1: dealing with a leg injury. He was on crutches. It
Speaker 1: comes out today that it is a hip issue. It's minor.
Speaker 1: I saw last night lyde Settler, who competes in a
Speaker 1: ton of NFBC drafts. He's a great high stakes player,
Speaker 1: tweeted out that Parlos, Carrasco, and Severino went in around
Speaker 1: fifteen and sixteen respectively. Round fifteen. Sure I have a
Speaker 1: shot of calls Carrasco there? Why not? Absolutely? I think
Speaker 1: there's gonna be some correction. He's gonna about Stecca. Right
Speaker 1: when do we come back? A couple of news notes.
Speaker 1: I want to get to Frank was tweeting out trade Turner,
Speaker 1: so he wants to reveal when he was tweeting about.
Speaker 1: And then we'll get into this week's money in the
Speaker 1: bank contest the ground a lot more on the way.

Speaker 1: for hanging out having too much fun. I need it
Speaker 1: mans around. I heard on FT this week you got
Speaker 1: a big weekend plan. You have no fiance, which means
Speaker 1: a whole lot of sitting on your couch and drafting.
Speaker 1: No draft this weekend, Greg, nothing planned yet, but look
Speaker 1: there's some time to change that. It's time to get
Speaker 1: in alve getting in a draft. There is no fiance
Speaker 1: this weekend. She's off to ball bustin. I shipped her
Speaker 1: up to Boston Grand going out tonight night on the
Speaker 1: tap with my brother. He was Johnny Stamfull and Johnny
Speaker 1: be on his phone looking wrestling backdowns all the night.
Speaker 1: There's no one thing. He watches a lot of SmackDown.
Speaker 1: If he does, it's on demand, it's not live. I
Speaker 1: can tell you that much he loves wrestling. I don't.
Speaker 1: I don't think he loves it that much. I don't know, man,
Speaker 1: he really loves wrestling, but I don't really handling his
Speaker 1: plans on a Friday to watch SmackDown. Johnny Snaffle, Johnny
Speaker 1: Staffle loves wrestling, dude. You know what, I'm gonna have
Speaker 1: him send me a picture of Legitimately. He has two
Speaker 1: cases in his room of real wrestling belts, the offensive one,
Speaker 1: like three fifty plus dollar belts, no joke. He asked
Speaker 1: my parents for them, like every holiday, Birthday, Christmas, he
Speaker 1: wants a belt. I mean, it's a sick collection. He's
Speaker 1: like the yellow Intercontinental title. He has the Smoking Skull
Speaker 1: w w F, the heavy one. He's like it's leather
Speaker 1: and it's like the real championship. He has like twelve
Speaker 1: of them lined up in like a glass case. It's
Speaker 1: pretty sick. Well, yeah, he loves wrestling, but not on
Speaker 1: a Friday. He's hanging out with me. We're not watching SmackDown.
Speaker 1: I'll tell you that. Just go out after SmackDown, well
Speaker 1: my pre game and watch SmackDown. If that's there, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna I'm gonna text Well watching some highlights of the
Speaker 1: Royals and Rangers, Greg who were playing right now. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna get a text from Frank. I cannot wait. It's
Speaker 1: gonna be him on the couch looking at Rangers, Royals
Speaker 1: box scores and Johnny Stanfell screaming at his TV at
Speaker 1: Roman Reins. I can't wait for It's gonna be awesome. Alright,
Speaker 1: you have you tweet about trade Turner at last night?
Speaker 1: What were you tweeting? Yeah, I just wanted to make
Speaker 1: it known. I've I saw the report that he might
Speaker 1: move down in the lineup, he might bet third, and
Speaker 1: I tweeted this out. In his career, Trade Turner has
Speaker 1: average one stolen base every twelve plate appearances while batting leadoff.
Speaker 1: That's a sample over fifteen d plate appearances. While batting
Speaker 1: in every other spot in the order. In his career,
Speaker 1: tray Turner has ever once solen base every nineteen point
Speaker 1: seven plate appearances, just over five hundred and fifty plate
Speaker 1: appearances combined in every other spot in the lineup outside
Speaker 1: of leadoff. So assuming that he gets six d and
Speaker 1: fifty plate appearances, Greg, I you know, fired up the
Speaker 1: old calculator app here on the computer. Your times nineteen
Speaker 1: nineteen point seven. I'm saying this wrong. Take six hundred fifty, Yeah,
Speaker 1: divided by nineteen point seven. This is why I'm not
Speaker 1: I'm not the math guy, and you're projected thirty three
Speaker 1: stolen bases for Trade Turner. Greg, would you be happy
Speaker 1: with thirty three stolen bases from Trade Turner if you
Speaker 1: took him in the first round? I agree, I don't
Speaker 1: because the power is not enough right and need footy
Speaker 1: stas from him. The power is not there, like it's
Speaker 1: not enough for your take. The power went up last year. Sure,
Speaker 1: I guess there's a chance that it keeps trending up.
Speaker 1: I don't know. Maybe it was just juice ball related anywhere.
Speaker 1: He's only twenty six years old. Everyone's just assuming the
Speaker 1: juice ball is gone. I tell you, nobody knows it
Speaker 1: was gone in the postseason for sure. You know where
Speaker 1: a guy is with him in the auction Yamada. We
Speaker 1: already went over this key boo him down reserve rounds.
Speaker 1: It might be able to get him in the reserva.
Speaker 1: You want to know what it do? You know what
Speaker 1: his a DP is? Right? No? Wow, he goes late
Speaker 1: almost him him. I'm with you, so it burnt me
Speaker 1: everywhere last year. I'm back. If someone wins a dollar,
Speaker 1: I'm going to I'm not on three, I'll go to alright.
Speaker 1: Maybe I'm just saying it's reserved rounds. Come on, Greg,
Speaker 1: don't even mention the name. Don't even say the initials
Speaker 1: c K. I don want nobody to know. New underwear
Speaker 1: brand coming out carder Key Boom, c K BFFs go
Speaker 1: kill boom. We should make a cologne line harder Key Boom.
Speaker 1: I like this jokes guy Calvin Klein and my joke. Yes,
Speaker 1: all right, Greg, you can only be your joke. Greg
Speaker 1: can only make Calvin Klein jokes. He's the only one
Speaker 1: that can ask about crappy players on this. When I
Speaker 1: bring up some trap, it's like, what about Taoscar Hernandez.
Speaker 1: When I'm asking Greg about someone relevant, He's like, who's
Speaker 1: that I've never heard of? That guy you probably name
Speaker 1: is someone irrelevant. And if I don't know he's irrelevant,
Speaker 1: that's oh yeah, that's gotta be true, you know that? Um?
Speaker 1: All right, any more news to notice, you know, Let's
Speaker 1: do some fun. She's on the fun. It's too Friday.
Speaker 1: Let's have some fun. And this week it's time once
Speaker 1: again to find out who he's Money in the bank.
Speaker 1: Here comes the money. Here we go money talk, Here
Speaker 1: comes the money cheating Money in the bank. This week
Speaker 1: here on the bf F S Frank, let's get right
Speaker 1: into it. This week, we're facing off again some of
Speaker 1: the pictures that are going in the third and fourth round.
Speaker 1: It's Chris Paddock, aur Nolah and Noah's s God No,
Speaker 1: it's Nderguard Aaronola, two players that were seen as top
Speaker 1: twelve pictures probably just a year ago. Chris Paddock, of
Speaker 1: course alone. Hazy's Lazardo was the hottest name uh Young
Speaker 1: picture wise that was being drafted last season. Now it's
Speaker 1: Paddock and Aaronola going in similar spots. Well, now a
Speaker 1: Synderguard goes about a round later than both of them. Frank,
Speaker 1: let's start with my guy, Noah Syndergard. He's a player
Speaker 1: that I believe, despite going last on this list, he's
Speaker 1: a guy I would want want, I would want most
Speaker 1: of my team for me. I'll reveal it right now
Speaker 1: for me, Noah's Syndergard is Mr Buney in the bank.
Speaker 1: We'll just get right to the chase while you're at it.
Speaker 1: When it comes to no Syndergard is extremely frustrating, and
Speaker 1: we spoke about him with Nick Pollock of Picture List.
Speaker 1: I forgot the acronym that he uses for him, but
Speaker 1: basically it was along the lines of Noah Synderguard has
Speaker 1: all the stuff in the world but doesn't know how
Speaker 1: to pitch. Hopefully having Rene Rivera as his dedicated catcher. Well,
Speaker 1: I actually helped him because last year with Wilson Ramos
Speaker 1: as his catcher, Noah Syndergard had an ear a over
Speaker 1: five in games that Wilson Ramos was his catcher. In
Speaker 1: Noa Syndergard's career, Greg, with Renee Rivera as his catcher,
Speaker 1: thirty games, a hundred and eighty innings pitch that might
Speaker 1: be a full season out of Noah Syndergard. Would you
Speaker 1: like these numbers? Greg, let me know a two six
Speaker 1: five e r A. There's no whip here, but sive
Speaker 1: ar a. How about two hundred and five strikeouts and
Speaker 1: a hundred eight pitch and he's pitched, could not have
Speaker 1: any more in He'll say that Renee Rivera is going
Speaker 1: to be the dedicated catcher for Noah Syndergard this year.
Speaker 1: But I understand why some people might be out on him, Greg.
Speaker 1: He tinkers with his pitch makes he relies on his
Speaker 1: fastball sometimes a little bit too much. He should be
Speaker 1: throwing his breaking pitches more. I think he has all
Speaker 1: the talent in the world. We all know that about
Speaker 1: Noah Synderguard. They called the guy Thor for a reason.
Speaker 1: I mean, he's built like an Adonis, and normally I
Speaker 1: don't usually like that because guys like Aaron Judge and
Speaker 1: Giancarlos Stanton are hurt all the time. Right, Syndergard has
Speaker 1: dealt with his own injuries managed just a healthy last year.
Speaker 1: You didn't get the performance out of him that you
Speaker 1: were hoping for, But there is a world, Greg, and
Speaker 1: I realized that a range of outcomes where he does
Speaker 1: put it all together, manages to stay healthy with Renee
Speaker 1: Rivera as his catcher and puts up you know, bow
Speaker 1: three's e r a a good whip, two hundred strikeouts
Speaker 1: dred eighty to two endings pitched. That does remain a
Speaker 1: possibility for Noah Syndergard. Greg, But let's talk a little
Speaker 1: bit about some of these other candidates as well. Sure,
Speaker 1: I mean that everything he just positive, Syndard, other than
Speaker 1: the way he's built well and the fact that he
Speaker 1: sucked last year, Greg, how about that? Sure he's stunk well,
Speaker 1: he got better, He got better, and look, no Arno
Speaker 1: has been healthier the past couple of years. Like that,
Speaker 1: you can depend on him for more volume than you
Speaker 1: can with Noahs Syndergard. I want to tell you, look
Speaker 1: at Chris Paddock here three point three three and you're
Speaker 1: going right in the paddock god Man, I had the
Speaker 1: notes worthy for Chris Paddock. Greg all Right, Aaron last
Speaker 1: year one up with a three eight seven a three
Speaker 1: A two x fit. He was not great. His fastball
Speaker 1: was the worst of his career. It got smacked around
Speaker 1: last year, Greg, And we know he has a great curveball.
Speaker 1: When it comes to Arnold, the command was really out
Speaker 1: of whack last year for Aaronola. The walks per nine
Speaker 1: up over three and a half. You're not used to that.
Speaker 1: Still got a ton of strikeout, still got a ton
Speaker 1: of ground balls, but with those walks going up it
Speaker 1: also we also saw his whip balloon til one to
Speaker 1: seven uh from eighteen Greg, he had a three three
Speaker 1: five e r A out of Aaronola, a three to
Speaker 1: nine x fit over a strikeout per ending two point
Speaker 1: four walks per nine, really good groundball rate, a one
Speaker 1: on four whip and a twenty eight percent hard contact
Speaker 1: rate last year. The hard contact for Aaronola just has
Speaker 1: to get back to relying more so on that curveball.
Speaker 1: The command has to come back for the fastball. Again.
Speaker 1: He doesn't have a great fastball. It's like he has
Speaker 1: to use that pitch to set up his secondary pitches.
Speaker 1: Curveball change up as well. He gotta get back to
Speaker 1: mixing things up, and he's gotta command his pitch is better.
Speaker 1: There's no doubt about it when it comes to Noah.
Speaker 1: But for me, Greg, the track record for Noah from
Speaker 1: eighteen is nearly on par with Noah synder Guard, if
Speaker 1: not better, And he's been able to stay healthier than
Speaker 1: Synderguard as well. So if he can get back to
Speaker 1: that picture that he was the four seasons before, then
Speaker 1: I think nobody can really pay off where he's going
Speaker 1: right now. As you mentioned, the walks really went up
Speaker 1: last last year three point five six, very uncharacteristic for him.
Speaker 1: Walked per nine. That's almost over a walk, way over
Speaker 1: a walk more he's ever given up his career per
Speaker 1: nine eight. Strike has also went up at the first
Speaker 1: year with real moods. I wonder if that has something
Speaker 1: to do with it. Could be really just not going
Speaker 1: anywhere I'm there. The home runs for nine also went
Speaker 1: up man one point to zero. Juice ball related possibly
Speaker 1: home on the five ball ratio, also related highest home
Speaker 1: in the fly ball ratio of his career at seventeen
Speaker 1: point four. I don't you mentioned this to me last year,
Speaker 1: that eighteen if you look at all the numbers for
Speaker 1: Aaron Nola, always the outlier, and we thought, all right,
Speaker 1: My response is I really like that last year was
Speaker 1: we got better. He's never gonna give again. That's not
Speaker 1: gonna happen. That's the thing, right, So he never is
Speaker 1: going to do that again. That may have been the
Speaker 1: year of his career. And the way I responded to
Speaker 1: you last year as well, he just got better that
Speaker 1: that that's it. And you said, well what if he didn't,
Speaker 1: what if there's just an outlier? And I think it was.
Speaker 1: I think the picture that you saw last year was
Speaker 1: a kind of picture that you will see again, at
Speaker 1: least for Syndergard. The walks or less strike has we're
Speaker 1: a little bit less as well. The ex fit was
Speaker 1: actually exactly the same at three point eight. I think
Speaker 1: Noah Syndergard has more of an ability to be better
Speaker 1: than he has better stuff than Aaronoa, there's no doubt
Speaker 1: about put it together, but more of an injury risk
Speaker 1: than Aaronola as well, only inning He's no Syndergard pitched
Speaker 1: last year. It was close to season last year. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but that's the thing. He's never done it, you know,
Speaker 1: like all together with a full season of like the
Speaker 1: production we're used to. You would only do that for
Speaker 1: like a hundred and fifty innings. I got welcome back, Frank,
Speaker 1: give you more on Chris Paddock and he'll tell you
Speaker 1: who his Mr Money in the bank is. Here we go, Money.

Speaker 1: Blue Here Friday, let's go. Let's break it down, baby.
Speaker 1: All right, we're going through our Nola and Noah Syndergard.
Speaker 1: I've already told everybody my Mr Money in the Bank
Speaker 1: right there. It's Noah Syndergard. But there is one player
Speaker 1: left h in the triple threat draft matchup, and that
Speaker 1: is Chris Padck, the player that actually had the best
Speaker 1: season in twenty nineteen, better than Aaronola, better than Nowihs
Speaker 1: Synderguard except for the X fit, which was higher than
Speaker 1: both of them. Extra for Chris Paddock over four ERA
Speaker 1: A at three point three three. He went nine in
Speaker 1: seven last year, pitching forty innings nine point eight strikeouts
Speaker 1: per nine under two walks for nine. Very very good.
Speaker 1: They're the Babbitt was extremely low at two thirty seven,
Speaker 1: although you know it wasn't really high throughout his minors career. Frank,
Speaker 1: Chris Paddock is going the earliest out of those three.
Speaker 1: Does that mean you would draft him the earliest of
Speaker 1: those three? Well, Greg, you're gonna have to wait and
Speaker 1: find out after I'm done analyzing Chris Paddock. You mentioned
Speaker 1: the e r A and the X fit. The X
Speaker 1: fit was higher than the e r A a a little
Speaker 1: bit over for a zero point nine eight whip. I mean,
Speaker 1: let's not understate that this guy had a sub one
Speaker 1: whip last year as a rookie, his first season in
Speaker 1: major League Baseball with the juice all as well, maintained
Speaker 1: a whip under one case per nine over nine nearly
Speaker 1: ten at nine point seven nine the walks for nine
Speaker 1: under two. The guy has phenomenal command. Sheriff Chris Paddock.
Speaker 1: Shout out to Matt Modica. Believe he still has Chris
Speaker 1: Paddock as his Twitter avatar as well. It's how much
Speaker 1: he loves Chris Paddock. We know how great the command
Speaker 1: is when it comes to Paddock seventy one first pitch
Speaker 1: strike percentage. He establishes the strike early in the count
Speaker 1: as well. Um basically fastball changeup combination last year has
Speaker 1: like a Vulcan changeup, they call it. I almost want
Speaker 1: to choose him just because he uses something called a
Speaker 1: Vulcan changeup. G sounds awesome. He needs to continue working
Speaker 1: on the curveball. The only thing about ten and a
Speaker 1: half percent of the time last year, and it really
Speaker 1: wasn't a great curveball. But everything we've heard in the
Speaker 1: off season Greg is that exactly is what he's doing,
Speaker 1: is he's working on the curveball. He's developing it. He's
Speaker 1: called it a quote top shelf curveball. Heading into the season,
Speaker 1: somebody to pay attention to throughout curveball. But Greg, I
Speaker 1: really do believe that if this curveball just becomes adequate,
Speaker 1: it's all over for everybody in the league. I mean,
Speaker 1: look what he did with just a fastball, changeup combination
Speaker 1: throws mid nineties. That change up keeps everyone all balance.
Speaker 1: And then if he mixes in a curveball that he
Speaker 1: just uses ten to fifteen percent of the time and
Speaker 1: it's just a solid curveball, then I do think that
Speaker 1: you're gonna see the e r A stabilize out, the
Speaker 1: babbit might go up a little bit, the X fit
Speaker 1: dropped down, and he's just going to progress as a
Speaker 1: starting pitcher. I love everything that I saw from last year.
Speaker 1: Great home roads, was great against both lefties and right
Speaker 1: e's as well. If I'm projecting him, I think he's
Speaker 1: given you three five, maybe three six e r A
Speaker 1: a hundred and seventy to eighty innings pitched. I really
Speaker 1: like what I saw at a Chris Paddock last year,
Speaker 1: and I really like him going into this year. Greg
Speaker 1: Hey is my money in the bank winner Chris Paddick.
Speaker 1: Here we go, money talks. You drive Chris Paddock, and
Speaker 1: you're going to be money in the bank this fantasy
Speaker 1: baseball season. Greg, I like Aaron Nola, but I worry
Speaker 1: about the command issues last year, worry about that fastball,
Speaker 1: and I just worry about No Sindergarten general. Is he
Speaker 1: ever going to put it all together? I don't mind
Speaker 1: any of these players, in fact, I like all of them.
Speaker 1: But if we're splitting hairs and choosing the player who
Speaker 1: is going to return the most money on his investment,
Speaker 1: that's going to be Chris Pattick. We'll see obviously rookie
Speaker 1: last season. As you mentioned, Frankie, will you get better? Well,
Speaker 1: that's the question we're gonna have to ask ourselves here,
Speaker 1: uh during draft Monk for me, don't think no Synderguard,
Speaker 1: especially because you're getting him around later. All right, And
Speaker 1: with that, it is now time for the continuation of
Speaker 1: Frank's White Boys series. Let you know how this works. Basically,
Speaker 1: Frank is going to take a pick once a week
Speaker 1: twice a week, depending on what we got going on,
Speaker 1: and he's going to draft three rounds with this pick,
Speaker 1: both in a rhodo format as well as a head
Speaker 1: to head format, and he wants you to get an
Speaker 1: idea of the players that will be there and how
Speaker 1: to build your team. The idea here is for you
Speaker 1: ultimately to get an understanding of a what pick that
Speaker 1: you want in the draft and be well, what the
Speaker 1: team looked like here. So we're gonna get started in
Speaker 1: just a few moments. I know Frank's getting ready over there,
Speaker 1: so let's make sure the camera next to Frank is
Speaker 1: facing him so he's ready to rock here and we
Speaker 1: will get right it'll it'll be this one here, So
Speaker 1: I'll move over there. We'll get right into it. Follow me, everybody, Alex,
Speaker 1: follow me over here. There we go. Let's get into
Speaker 1: this here. It is the money in the bank cop
Speaker 1: contest here Chris Paddock. Frank's winner for me, the clear
Speaker 1: champion Frank was Noah Syndergarden. He's the guy who's going
Speaker 1: to have the best year and he's costing you the
Speaker 1: least at the moment. We did number one earlier in
Speaker 1: the week for the white Board series. Number one overall
Speaker 1: pick was Ronald Kunia and then he followed up with
Speaker 1: a couple of pictures different pictures, which was interesting. Uh. There,
Speaker 1: that was number one overall. Now we go to the
Speaker 1: other side. We started with one, and now we move
Speaker 1: on to number twelve. Sean, are we ready to go
Speaker 1: with alright? So with that we throw it over to
Speaker 1: Frank Sample with the white board series. Thanks Greg, and
Speaker 1: I had a lot of fun earlier in the week
Speaker 1: doing the number one pick, but we gotta go to
Speaker 1: the back end of the draft with the number twelve pick.
Speaker 1: Of course, we're doing this for twelve team leagues. I
Speaker 1: know a lot of people play in the NFBC and
Speaker 1: they play in fifteen team leagues. I participate in a
Speaker 1: ton of them myself, but most people play in twelve
Speaker 1: team leagues. So that's what we're going to attack today,
Speaker 1: the last pick of the first round if you play
Speaker 1: in a twelve team league. Again, well, we did this
Speaker 1: during the the fantasy football season, and we would pick
Speaker 1: two different teams up against each other and then ask
Speaker 1: you which one you liked more at the end of
Speaker 1: the white board today, like we did with the number
Speaker 1: one pick, we're gonna do it from a Rhodo perspective,
Speaker 1: and we're also going to do it from a head
Speaker 1: to head points perspective, and I'll kind of break down
Speaker 1: why there are differences in the players that we are
Speaker 1: going to draft. So reg you know, that I like pitching.
Speaker 1: You know that I like to get the and that's
Speaker 1: exactly what we're going to do. Frankly on both sides.
Speaker 1: A little foreshadowing here, but with the twelve pick, the
Speaker 1: first pick, if you have last pick, your number one
Speaker 1: pick if you have the last pick, is Justin Verlander.
Speaker 1: No surprise here, Greg, and I guess there's a chance
Speaker 1: he could be drafted by then, but according to a DP,
Speaker 1: he is available here with the twelfth pick, I want
Speaker 1: to get a starting pitcher because by the time it
Speaker 1: comes back to in the third fourth round range, you're
Speaker 1: gonna be looking at someone like Patrick Corbyn, Luis Castile.
Speaker 1: Those guys are fine and you can still build a
Speaker 1: pitching stuff around them. I would just feel better personally
Speaker 1: if I have one of those horses that anchor in
Speaker 1: a Justin Verlander. I'm not worried about Verlander when it
Speaker 1: comes to the age. When it comes to the cheating scandal, Greg,
Speaker 1: this guy has had a sub one whip in each
Speaker 1: of the past two seasons while with the Houston Astros,
Speaker 1: and he just continues to get better. I mean, the
Speaker 1: guy is like a fine one right now in terms
Speaker 1: of real life baseball Fantasy baseball. He's likely going to
Speaker 1: give you a sub three whip. He's gonna get to
Speaker 1: a lot of wins. He's been extremely durable, going over
Speaker 1: two endings repeatedly in his career. I'm gonna take Justin
Speaker 1: Verlander with my first of two picks here at the
Speaker 1: back end of the first round. If you have the
Speaker 1: twelve pick in a twelve team league, starting off the
Speaker 1: second round on the wheel here, you know, I like
Speaker 1: to get stolen basis to Greg, I like to get
Speaker 1: someone who can do it all. Who is someone who
Speaker 1: can do it all that's going at this point in
Speaker 1: the draft. Well, it could have been Fernando Tatis Jr.
Speaker 1: But it's not Fernando Tatis Jr. It's Jose Ramirez. We're
Speaker 1: just hoping that Jose Ramirez is fine after you got
Speaker 1: hit by a pitch in spring training the other day.
Speaker 1: And I think this is a great way to start
Speaker 1: off your draft because you give yourself a base with
Speaker 1: starting pitching and Josi Ramirez. Well, he might not be
Speaker 1: a five category contributor because I don't know how great
Speaker 1: the batting average is gonna be. I probably project him
Speaker 1: for a two seventy to two seventy five batting average.
Speaker 1: It doesn't hurt your average, but he's gonna give you
Speaker 1: stolen basis. I'm midst everything that was happening last year.
Speaker 1: I understand he was a letdown for a lot of
Speaker 1: people earlier on in the season, wound up, you know,
Speaker 1: pulling it all together, and still had over twenty home runs,
Speaker 1: over twenty stolen basis. He was still giving you speed
Speaker 1: all the while. Second half of the season, you look
Speaker 1: at the numbers and he stopped lifting the ball. He
Speaker 1: got to home run happy, goes back to the second
Speaker 1: half of where he was just trying to hit too
Speaker 1: many home runs. He was lifting the ball too much.
Speaker 1: He got back to his normal approach, hitting line drives,
Speaker 1: pulling the ball, and naturally the ball started to go
Speaker 1: out of the ballpark again. He didn't have to try
Speaker 1: to do anything differently, just be who you are, Joseer Mires,
Speaker 1: and I think he's gonna do that again this upcoming season. Greg,
Speaker 1: I would tab him for home runs to thirty stolen bases,
Speaker 1: good counting stats and a solid batting average at eighty.
Speaker 1: Do you have a problem, Greg, with either one of
Speaker 1: Justin Verlander or whose are Mirons don't have a problem
Speaker 1: with either. Ranthom My question was the suicidal you put
Speaker 1: Justin Burlander on the board. Was there no thought given
Speaker 1: a Max Scherzer in this spot? Well, I think it's
Speaker 1: a fair a question, right, because if Max Scherzer is healthy,
Speaker 1: which is the biggest question, Uh, he could be better
Speaker 1: than Justin Verlander on a per star basis. But I
Speaker 1: think that they're close enough Greg that I will take
Speaker 1: the picture who has been more durable. We are not
Speaker 1: worried about any back or neck issues even in the
Speaker 1: World Series, sure as it was dealing with that issue
Speaker 1: missed some time throughout the regular season last year as well.
Speaker 1: So I think they're close enough on a per game basis.
Speaker 1: Where give me the guy who is healthier, who has
Speaker 1: been more durable, and that is Justin Verlander. Was there
Speaker 1: any thought, let's throw it out there, of taking Verlander
Speaker 1: and Max schers are back to back. It's thirteen in
Speaker 1: a roto draft. I wouldn't do it. Maybe in the
Speaker 1: head to head points league, it's something that I would
Speaker 1: look into it. Yes, well you are about to find
Speaker 1: out right about that, but I would not go with
Speaker 1: two starting pitchers there at the back end of the
Speaker 1: first round. I want to get something offensively for you know,
Speaker 1: in my five by five leagues, you can pump the
Speaker 1: offensive categories, and especially if you get someone I can
Speaker 1: give you those stolen bases without hurting you any where else.
Speaker 1: That's what I would want to do with Jose Ra Mirrors.
Speaker 1: There are a lot of great hitters in that range,
Speaker 1: Alex Bregman, but he doesn't give you anything and stolen
Speaker 1: basis So for me, I'm going to opt for someone
Speaker 1: who do you taking Ramrors over? I would take Ramirez
Speaker 1: over Bregman and no one Arronado. He's my number one
Speaker 1: third base because there is no speed of course, really
Speaker 1: comes to Ronado and when it comes to Bregman. I
Speaker 1: get it. Man, I think I think it makes sense.
Speaker 1: It's funny because I'm really proud of you. You're going
Speaker 1: against your gut, which is this guy killed me last year.
Speaker 1: I can't do it again, and here you are jumping
Speaker 1: right back in Josieerra Mirrors. I agree with it. I'm
Speaker 1: buying the second half is the real josieer Mirrors because
Speaker 1: we saw it so often the the year prior to
Speaker 1: the year before that first half an aberration. It'll be fine.
Speaker 1: I like Josier Mirrors. It's a great starts of the team. Man,
Speaker 1: I can't start my team with Justin Verlander and Josie
Speaker 1: ra mirrors or Max Scherzer and Josie Ramirez. Feel really
Speaker 1: good about myself. I like that, Frankie. Yeah, absolutely, Gregg,
Speaker 1: and we'll talk more about the head to head points
Speaker 1: side of things we come back after the break. Obviously
Speaker 1: here again on the rural side. Number twelve pick started
Speaker 1: team with Justin Verlander and Josie Era mirrs. It's pretty
Speaker 1: good start, Gregor, all right, let's take a break. When
Speaker 1: we come back, we're gonna get into the head to
Speaker 1: head side. As Frankie mentioned, we'll find out who he's
Speaker 1: taking at the turn there and then we'll do the
Speaker 1: turn after that on both sides. To wrap up the show,
Speaker 1: really coast coast up next to the ground or BFFs

Speaker 1: What's going on? You're wrapping up the show? You have
Speaker 1: to really coast to coast coming your way next, Scotty
Speaker 1: Evase with Mike Carver regularly, here be a fun night
Speaker 1: as we get you ready for a fury while they're
Speaker 1: obviously a game on the show yesterday. Uh, Frank, we
Speaker 1: go back over to you in the Rhodo side of things.
Speaker 1: You let off with Justin Burlander and Jose Ramirez. Let's
Speaker 1: move on the head to head side of things, shall we. Yeah,
Speaker 1: let's move over to the head to head points side
Speaker 1: of things again. I play in two head to head
Speaker 1: points leagues. Let's make it three now that I have
Speaker 1: joined out wards. But my longest standing trying what what
Speaker 1: greet you? Uh, my longest standing home league is a
Speaker 1: head to head points league. So I actually do really
Speaker 1: really enjoy this format. And I stressed with the first
Speaker 1: overall pick taking Garrett Cole, because you need starting pitching.
Speaker 1: It is so valuable in a head to head points league.
Speaker 1: Depending on how your points league is set up. Again,
Speaker 1: in the league that I play, we get a point
Speaker 1: per out. You get I would make three points per
Speaker 1: ending pitched. You get bonuses for quality starts for wins,
Speaker 1: half a point for strike out as well, and you
Speaker 1: lose points for things like hits and and earned runs
Speaker 1: as well. But pictures typically get more points in this format.
Speaker 1: So you gotta get at least one, maybe two. I'll
Speaker 1: let you know in a second. If Justin Verlander is there,
Speaker 1: he might be gone because pitching gets pulled up the
Speaker 1: board in a head to head point league. According to
Speaker 1: a DP, Verlander is going to be there. So for
Speaker 1: today's exercise, I will take Justin Verlander. But if he
Speaker 1: were gone, I've got to get at least one starting
Speaker 1: pitcher here. Whether it's Walker Bueller, whether it's Max Scherzer.
Speaker 1: You cannot escape either of your first two picks in
Speaker 1: a head to head points league without a starting picture.
Speaker 1: I cannot stress that enough. So for all the reasons
Speaker 1: I said, you're taking Justin Verlander on this side, you
Speaker 1: will also take Justin Verlander in the head to head
Speaker 1: points league because of the volume, the endings, pitch to
Speaker 1: strike outs, equality starts, the wins, everything that Justin Verlander does.
Speaker 1: We're gonna take a second picture. No, we are not
Speaker 1: going to take a second onon picture because you can
Speaker 1: actually get a really good one or two later on
Speaker 1: at the three four turns, So we'll wait a little
Speaker 1: bit on that. I want to anchor my team with
Speaker 1: another hitter here as well. I am not going to
Speaker 1: take Jose Ramirez, while he is also pretty good points
Speaker 1: league because he has a good point discipline, he doesn't
Speaker 1: strike out, he hits a lot of doubles. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: take Alex Bregman here at the overall pick, with the
Speaker 1: second round pick of the of the number twelve pick
Speaker 1: in this draft. And Alex Bregman in a points league
Speaker 1: was the number one hitter last year. He hits a
Speaker 1: ton of doubles. He had more walks than strikeouts last year.
Speaker 1: If you worry about the cheating incident when it comes
Speaker 1: to Alex Bregman and you're worried about his performance falling off,
Speaker 1: first of all, you probably shouldn't, but if you do,
Speaker 1: maybe just go in a different direction, I would take
Speaker 1: a hitter here still one of Jose Ramirez or A
Speaker 1: Bregman or Nolan Arronado. For me, Alex Bregman is the
Speaker 1: hitter you should take in a head to head points league.
Speaker 1: He was the number one hitter and points leagues last year. Greg,
Speaker 1: even if he regresses a little bit, I still think
Speaker 1: he's going to be really good. So in Rhodo ball
Speaker 1: team league, last pick Dustin Verlander and Jose Ramirez on
Speaker 1: the Rhodo side, and head to head points league, Justin
Speaker 1: Verlander and Alex Bregman. Greg, is that all right with you?
Speaker 1: It's funny because we went from Hoosier like you talked
Speaker 1: me a Hosier mirrors on the other side. Then he
Speaker 1: went to Alex Bregman here. Of course, you never want
Speaker 1: to hit her in points leads last year. I don't
Speaker 1: know what about the steels, but we've talked so much
Speaker 1: about this early past couple of weeks. How this kind
Speaker 1: of in a head to head categories leage you can
Speaker 1: put steals, right, you don't, you just don't need it.
Speaker 1: Points leaves kind of the same thing. You don't really
Speaker 1: work fantasy points, so right, It's not like in fantasy basketball,
Speaker 1: where like blocks are were a lot of points, it
Speaker 1: steals are a lot of points in fantasy basketball, fantasy
Speaker 1: baseball well in two points, and they're so rare anyway
Speaker 1: that you can get by without them. I'm cool with
Speaker 1: Alex Bregman. I also told you earlier in draft season.
Speaker 1: I'm an only Houranado guy, but diving in a little
Speaker 1: bit deeper here, Bregman is a better player and the
Speaker 1: best player here at third base in points lead over
Speaker 1: No l Aronado. As much as that hurts me to say,
Speaker 1: I agree with that, Frank, I'm cool with it, all right.
Speaker 1: So Justin Berlandard Alex Bregman in the head to head
Speaker 1: points league. Coming back over here in Rhodo, you have
Speaker 1: the last pick in the draft. At the three four turn.
Speaker 1: You're looking at picks thirty six and thirty seven. Normally
Speaker 1: I only set up your first three picks. I'm feeling
Speaker 1: a little generous here today on a Friday, we'll do
Speaker 1: the thirty six and thirty seven overall pick. If you
Speaker 1: play in a roto league, Greg, I love the base
Speaker 1: of stats that Justin Verlander gives you so much that
Speaker 1: I am not going to take a second starting pitcher
Speaker 1: at the three four turn, because at the five six
Speaker 1: turn later on I pick sixty, you get someone like
Speaker 1: Chris Paddick or no A synder Guard or Aaronola or
Speaker 1: Zak Granky, And I don't mind any of those pictures
Speaker 1: as my second starting pitcher in a Roto league. So
Speaker 1: I'm going to double down on hitting here and I'm
Speaker 1: gonna get a few players that I think can contribute
Speaker 1: across the board. So let's start this off with pick
Speaker 1: thirty six. We're gonna take Austin Meadows of the Tampa
Speaker 1: Bay Rays, someone who can do a little bit of everything.
Speaker 1: We saw last year the breakout season from Meadows. There
Speaker 1: was a lull in the middle there, but ended up
Speaker 1: finishing out strong. That he's someone who can hit to
Speaker 1: eight plus thirty home runs, maybe even more power than that.
Speaker 1: It doesn't hurt you anywhere, and the fifteen so on
Speaker 1: basis performed well against left handed pitching last year, even
Speaker 1: as a left handed batter. Really like to see that
Speaker 1: out of Austin Meadows. He just has to stay healthy,
Speaker 1: something that you do worry about with Meadows. He did
Speaker 1: have some injuries earlier in his minor league career, but
Speaker 1: stayed healthy for the most part last year with the
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay Rays. We're gonna double down on hitters here,
Speaker 1: Gregg and I mentioned, I want to get someone who
Speaker 1: could do it all, and to me, that is Javier
Speaker 1: bayas Man. I'm gonna take Austin Meadows and Javier Bias.
Speaker 1: Pair these two guys together. I actually think that they're
Speaker 1: pretty similar players in terms of what they're going to
Speaker 1: give you. They're not similar in terms of plate discipline.
Speaker 1: Nobody is like Javier Bias. He is one of a kind.
Speaker 1: He swings and misses a lot. He doesn't walk. His
Speaker 1: plate discipline is terrible. I tried to doubt him in
Speaker 1: the past and he made me look completely foolish. Now
Speaker 1: you're getting him in the third fourth round. The guy
Speaker 1: was a borderline first round pick last year. Greg He's
Speaker 1: been extremely consistent between a two seventy and two ninety
Speaker 1: batting average each of the past three seasons. He gives
Speaker 1: you thirty home runs, good counting SATs. Say what you
Speaker 1: will about the Chicago Cubs, their lineup is still pretty
Speaker 1: damn good. There was a report lier today Javier Bias
Speaker 1: the thumb injury from last year is behind him. He's
Speaker 1: fully healthy, he's good to go. I think he gives
Speaker 1: you twelve to fifteen stolen bass. I think both of
Speaker 1: these guys, Greg, Greg give you a little bit of everything.
Speaker 1: I don't mind the starting pitchers that you can get
Speaker 1: a little bit later on at the five six turn,
Speaker 1: at the seven eight turn. And because of that, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna double down on hitters here, Borlander, Jose Miris, Austin Meadows,
Speaker 1: Javier Bias, any issues. Yeah, because in the past you
Speaker 1: have said the third fourth round is your sweet spot
Speaker 1: for pitching, right, use a lot of guys you really
Speaker 1: like here. And we talked about it before, Chris Paddock,
Speaker 1: that was Syndergaard, Aaron Nola, Massa hero to not. I'm
Speaker 1: sorry you, Darvish, h Luisa Varrino was in this cruise,
Speaker 1: that Greggy, all those guys, that's time it gets back.
Speaker 1: He gone, He's gone. But all those guys, by the
Speaker 1: time is your pick again in the fifth round, they're
Speaker 1: probably gone. Probably not Greg really going to the NBC
Speaker 1: A d P. Yeah, I pick sixty. They're gonna be
Speaker 1: there in rotal leagues. Okay, even someone like Zach Grenky,
Speaker 1: if you know he could wait a little bit but yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean according to the ADA, I think you can
Speaker 1: get someone like Paddick. You know. The thing is, I
Speaker 1: show you a lot of my draft boards, Greg, that
Speaker 1: are fifteen team draft. That's why you see Paddock and
Speaker 1: and Um Synderguard and Darvish and all these guys. They
Speaker 1: go in the fourth round in a fifteen team round,
Speaker 1: but in a twelve teamer they can last till the
Speaker 1: end of the fifth round the beginning of the six
Speaker 1: So you can actually grab one of those guys a
Speaker 1: little bit later. The pictures you would be looking at
Speaker 1: here Luis Castillo, Patrick Corbyn, those pictures are fine, but
Speaker 1: I don't really think that they're that dissimilar from pictures
Speaker 1: you can get later on. I'm gonna take the hitters
Speaker 1: and really kind of build out my base of hitting stats.
Speaker 1: I know, how any bias is your guy? Obviously have
Speaker 1: to give an outfielder, given that many rotal leaves played
Speaker 1: with five outfields, so you do you need ones one
Speaker 1: here In the first four rounds, Austin Meadows had this
Speaker 1: breakout campaign for Kevin Bay. Let's see if you stay
Speaker 1: healthy here in Frank's go back to you and figure
Speaker 1: out who we're wrapping up our head to head team
Speaker 1: with Okay, so I mentioned on this side we can
Speaker 1: wait on starting pitching head to head points, We're not
Speaker 1: gonna wait on starting pitching. You have to grab another
Speaker 1: one here, just because I want someone who is going
Speaker 1: to give a lot of endings, who's going to give
Speaker 1: me volume, someone who is dependable, and I do think
Speaker 1: that that is Patrick Corbin. Again, He's gone to under
Speaker 1: endings pitch each of the past two seasons, proven himself
Speaker 1: wipe out Slider, one of the best in the game.
Speaker 1: The walks went up last year. I want to see
Speaker 1: those come back down a little bit. Here. In has
Speaker 1: a good team behind him in Washington. He's going to
Speaker 1: get run support. He gets to face the Miami Marlins
Speaker 1: as well. The strikeouts are gonna be solid. I think
Speaker 1: Patrick Corban is a very fine sp two. But in
Speaker 1: a points league, I want someone who's going to give
Speaker 1: you a volume, someone who's a little bit more dependable,
Speaker 1: who's going to give you those endings. Uh. And I
Speaker 1: think it's a perfect combination with someone like Justin Verlander.
Speaker 1: Again in points league. I'm in points leagues. I'm just
Speaker 1: going to stress starting pitching a little bit more than
Speaker 1: I am in Roto leagues because in Roto you can
Speaker 1: find those guys who are good on a per enning basis,
Speaker 1: good on a purse star pieces. Quantity quality over quantity
Speaker 1: in Roto, quantity over quality when it comes to head
Speaker 1: to head points, Greg, I want to grab a hitter here. Okay,
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna take Austin Meadows. I'm not going to
Speaker 1: take Javier Baias. When I'm going to take is actually
Speaker 1: Xander Bogarts of the Boston Red Sox, who did not
Speaker 1: lead the league in doubles last year? If not lead
Speaker 1: the league in doubles last year? I asked Greig throughout
Speaker 1: the break. He actually laughed at me and said, that
Speaker 1: was the most ridiculous question you ever asked. No, because
Speaker 1: no, no no, no, let me describe this. I know you
Speaker 1: have two minutes ago, but like you, just like, hey,
Speaker 1: did Xander Bogers lead league doubles last year? It's a
Speaker 1: fair question. Doing a fantasy baseball show, you think it
Speaker 1: was gonna have that available for you not know what
Speaker 1: you're talking Aboutander, It's easier for you to pull it
Speaker 1: up on your laptop than for me to like hunch
Speaker 1: over here, and I got it. For you. He did not.
Speaker 1: His teammate Rothhaeld never has had more than him last season.
Speaker 1: It makes sense, and leading the league overall was Nick Castiano's. Well,
Speaker 1: Xander Bogarts has to be close. I'd imagine, right, Greg
Speaker 1: had six less doubles than Nick Castianos all right, so
Speaker 1: he was up there, had over fifty doubles last year,
Speaker 1: and again, from a Points League perspective, a really good,
Speaker 1: play disciplined Xander Bogarts continues to get better and better right.
Speaker 1: Kind of reminds me of Anthony Rendon from the shortstop position,
Speaker 1: where he's gonna give you a good batting average. I
Speaker 1: think the power probably takes a step back. He had
Speaker 1: over thirty home runs last year, probably hits twenty five
Speaker 1: seven home runs, really good batting average. Even with Mookie
Speaker 1: Betts out in Boston. I like the Red Sox lineup.
Speaker 1: I think people are kind of undervaluing the Red Sox
Speaker 1: a little bit too much right now with Mookie Betts
Speaker 1: being gone. Doesn't strike out so obviously that helps you
Speaker 1: in a Points league. He's gonna hit doubles. Um. I
Speaker 1: like grabbing two starting pitchers in my first four rounds
Speaker 1: in the Points League I think Xander Bogart's is a
Speaker 1: perfect target from a points league perspective. Greg. Notice I
Speaker 1: don't have an outfielder yet on this side, because in
Speaker 1: the points leads that I play in, UH standard Points league,
Speaker 1: normally you only use three outfielders. Maybe you use four outsiders.
Speaker 1: I'm not really going to put an emphasis on a
Speaker 1: position scarcity. I'm just gonna take players who perform well
Speaker 1: in that format, and Xander Bogarts is one of them. Greg,
Speaker 1: all right, Alexander Bogarts, I feel good about him. Him
Speaker 1: and Hobby Baya is both good picks I think in
Speaker 1: that spot in the Points League, though, I think we're comfortable.
Speaker 1: Lexander Bogart's Frank excellent job, which hems like better? Oh,
Speaker 1: I am going to take that. I really like this season.
Speaker 1: This has all my guys like I loved Meadows last
Speaker 1: year too. Kind of sucks that he's going as high
Speaker 1: as he is this season because I'd like to have
Speaker 1: more shares of him. But someone who I really like
Speaker 1: in Roto this year is Jaby or Bias as well.
Speaker 1: I like the Seam a lot. Obviously. Both teams are great.
Speaker 1: I drafted them ROT a little bit better Jessic, Patrick
Speaker 1: Korby don't even like Patrick Korby. I do not like
Speaker 1: Patrick Corbyn. I was on Corban a couple of years ago.
Speaker 1: Greg Hell tell the people a long time ago. Grows up,
Speaker 1: Nash Frank, I'll drag up a fantastic weekend weekend enjoying
Speaker 1: Theory Wilder. Thanks to Sean and Alex downstairs. We will
Speaker 1: do it all again on Monday as we get our
Speaker 1: position previews, we hope I want to be the next
