And of course today 0:00:58.800 --> 0:01:00.480 just to run through the positions, for you. It's a 0:01:00.520 --> 0:01:04.440 twelve team five y five your standard roto categories. We're 0:01:04.480 --> 0:01:06.319 gonna do it theoretically is head to head too, so 0:01:06.400 --> 0:01:08.840 maybe some of those like single category guys are gonna 0:01:08.840 --> 0:01:10.600 be a little inflated in value. We'll see how it 0:01:10.640 --> 0:01:12.800 all shakes out. But we're gonna do the full infield 0:01:12.800 --> 0:01:16.000 four outfielders, two utils. Then we're gonna also have a 0:01:16.040 --> 0:01:18.880 middle infield spot and a corner infield spot. Nine pictures. 0:01:19.240 --> 0:01:21.080 I just left it open to nine pictures so everyone 0:01:21.120 --> 0:01:23.720 can choose their own adventure here. Because I am all 0:01:23.720 --> 0:01:26.679 about liberty. That's what I'm about. Uh, all right, So 0:01:26.880 --> 0:01:30.600 without further ado, we're gonna jump into it and begin 0:01:30.880 --> 0:01:33.680 the draft. I'm gonna be drafting from the four spot, 0:01:34.120 --> 0:01:37.600 uh because I like that area there. It's perfect. Bogs, 0:01:37.800 --> 0:01:39.640 You're gonna be drafting from two just because you didn't 0:01:39.640 --> 0:01:41.360 want to be the jerk who just took Otani. I 0:01:41.400 --> 0:01:44.679 respect that about you, Welsh. You are drafting a little 0:01:44.680 --> 0:01:46.520 bit further down today. You are at one eleven and 0:01:46.640 --> 0:01:49.240 Joe Rico in between us at one oh eight. So 0:01:49.880 --> 0:01:52.280 without further ado, let's get to the draft. Here, show 0:01:52.320 --> 0:01:55.480 Aotani on the board, here with a few seconds left, 0:01:55.640 --> 0:01:58.160 and Scott Bogman it two. What are you looking to 0:01:58.200 --> 0:01:59.080 do with that spot here? 0:01:59.600 --> 0:02:00.760 Yeah, it's Bobby Wit. 0:02:00.960 --> 0:02:03.280 I have gone a little bit back and forth because 0:02:03.840 --> 0:02:10.320 Aaron Judge just dominates three categories unbelievably really four. But 0:02:11.560 --> 0:02:13.800 the stolen base is just too much for Bobby Wit. 0:02:14.040 --> 0:02:15.919 So it's gotta be Bobby at number two. 0:02:16.320 --> 0:02:18.760 Okay, all right, Bobby Wit off the board at one 0:02:18.760 --> 0:02:21.480 o two. Aaron Judge goes right after him. That's next 0:02:21.480 --> 0:02:23.480 to me here, now, Wan Soda. Of course, if this 0:02:23.520 --> 0:02:25.919 is obp League, I might pivot that way. But you 0:02:26.000 --> 0:02:27.280 know what I'm gonna do. I'm gona take a guy 0:02:27.280 --> 0:02:30.200 who doesn't get enough respect. I love Elliot Lacruz, super exciting, 0:02:30.240 --> 0:02:31.959 lots of stolen bases, but you know, El steals a 0:02:31.960 --> 0:02:34.360 lot of bags. Jose Ramirez and he plays third base. 0:02:34.400 --> 0:02:37.720 Two give me Jose Ramirez at four. I'm happy with that. 0:02:38.160 --> 0:02:41.160 After that pick goes off the board, one oh five 0:02:42.320 --> 0:02:45.680 goes to Juan Soto, then Tarik Skooble at one six. 0:02:45.760 --> 0:02:48.720 Look at that team going early for the pitching Team seven, 0:02:49.000 --> 0:02:52.919 named after George Costanza's son, is up next year. Team 0:02:53.040 --> 0:02:55.920 seven go aheads and selects Mookie bets Joe Rico. You're 0:02:55.960 --> 0:02:56.760 on the clock at one o eight? 0:02:56.760 --> 0:02:57.880 Would you do addtioning? 0:02:57.960 --> 0:02:59.920 I don't usually do because it doesn't usually fall off, 0:03:00.160 --> 0:03:02.680 But I took Ellie dela Cruz. I'm a little bit 0:03:02.720 --> 0:03:06.560 concerned about like top five, top four valuation on him 0:03:06.600 --> 0:03:09.320 because the batting average isn't quite what the rest of 0:03:09.360 --> 0:03:11.880 the field gives you in that range. But I'm probably 0:03:11.919 --> 0:03:13.639 still getting like a two to sixty batting average with 0:03:13.760 --> 0:03:15.799 like sixty steals here, And to get him at the 0:03:15.880 --> 0:03:17.600 eighth pick that feels like a like a nice drop 0:03:17.639 --> 0:03:18.519 for ally, So I'll take that. 0:03:19.639 --> 0:03:21.720 I think it's an incredible drop box. Don't you think 0:03:21.800 --> 0:03:23.440 like that's a great value here, especially in. 0:03:23.480 --> 0:03:26.640 This system the head to head, I mean, I usually 0:03:26.720 --> 0:03:29.799 goes where you pick at four Joe debating eight, It 0:03:29.960 --> 0:03:31.000 was pretty surprising. 0:03:31.520 --> 0:03:33.760 There you have it. So after Ellie de la Cruz 0:03:33.800 --> 0:03:37.080 goes to Joe Rico, Team nine up next Kyle Tucker, 0:03:37.200 --> 0:03:40.960 Gunner Henderson at one ten. Welsh selects Fernando Tatis at 0:03:41.000 --> 0:03:43.720 one eleven. Then Francisco Lindor goes at the turn with 0:03:43.800 --> 0:03:48.360 Juli Rodriguez, and then Welsh comes back around with Corbyn Carrol. 0:03:48.520 --> 0:03:51.760 Tatis and Corbyn Carrol. Let's talk about it, Welsh, how 0:03:51.760 --> 0:03:52.360 do you feel well? 0:03:52.400 --> 0:03:55.160 We got to talk about lock it up. We're done. 0:03:55.400 --> 0:03:58.360 We're done for Tatis fallen to me. By the way, 0:03:58.440 --> 0:04:01.680 all the projection systems are out. Can see ATC the 0:04:02.120 --> 0:04:06.960 bat X bat X very very favorable to Fernando Tatis Junior. 0:04:07.040 --> 0:04:07.360 This year. 0:04:07.360 --> 0:04:10.280 You're closing in on a thirty thirty guy, especially when 0:04:10.320 --> 0:04:11.800 healthy and out there, and then I get to go 0:04:11.880 --> 0:04:13.960 and pair him with Corby and Carrol, all the stolen 0:04:14.000 --> 0:04:16.480 bases that bounce back on average, We're gonna have twenty 0:04:16.520 --> 0:04:19.680 plus homers, tons of runs. I got two really good 0:04:19.760 --> 0:04:23.799 categorical players that aren't like the biggest on batting average, 0:04:23.800 --> 0:04:25.600 something I'm gonna pay attention to later. But I've got 0:04:25.600 --> 0:04:27.560 all the stolen bases in the world. I've got great 0:04:27.600 --> 0:04:31.920 homers run RBI. That's like the prototypical start we talked 0:04:31.920 --> 0:04:34.040 about on the wheel. If you start like Julio and 0:04:34.120 --> 0:04:37.520 Corbyn Carrol, I freaking love it, especially in a head 0:04:37.520 --> 0:04:38.640 to head for both of these guys. 0:04:39.480 --> 0:04:43.640 Okay, continuing on after that incredible start there for Welsh 0:04:43.680 --> 0:04:46.240 Ronald Acunia Junior, who might miss it looks like the 0:04:46.320 --> 0:04:48.600 opening of the season. It seems like maybe the entire 0:04:48.680 --> 0:04:50.920 month of April. We'll see as we get more reports, 0:04:50.960 --> 0:04:54.360 bring trading start in any minute. Now, Jordan Alvarez goes 0:04:54.360 --> 0:04:56.120 next to two oh four than jul Rico. You took 0:04:56.160 --> 0:04:59.880 your boy vlad Guerrero Junior. Look at you, Yah, Homer. Honestly, though, 0:05:00.200 --> 0:05:02.360 that's a pretty good value here, So you're just kind 0:05:02.400 --> 0:05:06.200 of soaking it all in at the one eight spot here. 0:05:06.400 --> 0:05:08.360 Yeah, I think the pairing makes a lot of sense too, because, 0:05:08.360 --> 0:05:09.720 like I said, the batting average is a bit of 0:05:09.760 --> 0:05:11.800 a concern. With Ellie, who had the highest batting or 0:05:12.000 --> 0:05:14.760 highest expected batting average in baseball last year, it was flatty. 0:05:14.800 --> 0:05:16.880 He hit three twenty three or three twenty two or something. 0:05:17.160 --> 0:05:18.440 So even if I don't get that, even if he's 0:05:18.480 --> 0:05:20.560 hitting three hundred, I'm getting more of the power where 0:05:20.640 --> 0:05:22.200 Allie gives me more at the speed. So it's a 0:05:22.279 --> 0:05:24.760 nice balance for those first two picks. And they both 0:05:24.800 --> 0:05:26.600 went a little bit later than you generally see. So 0:05:26.920 --> 0:05:28.440 I'll take the value all day, and I don't know 0:05:28.480 --> 0:05:30.279 how many more years I get to take Vladimir Guerrero 0:05:30.320 --> 0:05:32.600 while he's been wearing a Blue Jay's jersey. So I'll 0:05:32.640 --> 0:05:34.120 take the chance now while I can. 0:05:35.560 --> 0:05:38.600 I know one. All right, let's move on to the 0:05:38.680 --> 0:05:40.520 rest of the draft here. Sorry, I don't want to 0:05:40.520 --> 0:05:41.240 be a DeBie Downer. 0:05:41.279 --> 0:05:42.000 It's just swamp. 0:05:42.160 --> 0:05:45.800 Keep me a real wah wah. I just watched that 0:05:45.880 --> 0:05:48.160 sketch last weekend. By the way, it's still funny, especially 0:05:48.160 --> 0:05:51.520 the one in Disneyland when when she's just miserable about 0:05:51.600 --> 0:05:53.920 everything and they can't keep as very face. It's so good. 0:05:54.000 --> 0:05:54.279 Swamp. 0:05:54.680 --> 0:05:57.920 Yeah, do you know that was it? Feline aids is 0:05:57.960 --> 0:06:02.280 the biggest killer in domestic cats. I don't know. It's 0:06:02.279 --> 0:06:05.800 always funny. Jared Durant at two oh six. Uh, Paul 0:06:05.880 --> 0:06:08.120 Skeen's all Team six going for the pitching. Look at 0:06:08.160 --> 0:06:11.680 this Skeens and Scooble. My god, what a rotation that is. 0:06:11.960 --> 0:06:13.920 Bryce Harper at two o eight, So he's off the board. 0:06:13.960 --> 0:06:16.400 I pivot to Freddy Freeman. So I've got the corners 0:06:16.440 --> 0:06:19.839 here with Freddy Freeman and Jose Ramirez. Aaron Judge goes next, 0:06:20.040 --> 0:06:23.680 Zach Wheeler. I'm sorry the team has Aaron Judge selects 0:06:23.720 --> 0:06:26.680 Zach Wheeler to ten. Then Jackson Cherio at two eleven two. 0:06:26.760 --> 0:06:29.720 I was debating Cheerio hoping he might slide back to me. 0:06:30.000 --> 0:06:33.320 He did not, Unfortunately. Then at the turn Trey Turner 0:06:33.440 --> 0:06:35.840 goes at two twelve, Matt Olsen at three oh one, 0:06:36.200 --> 0:06:38.760 which brings us back to Scott Bogman, who just took Cheerio. 0:06:38.880 --> 0:06:41.599 Will break him down and bogs what you're gonna do next? 0:06:41.640 --> 0:06:43.120 So let's lay that out for everybody. 0:06:43.640 --> 0:06:46.120 Yeah, it's gonna be kadtel Marte. I hate second base. 0:06:46.160 --> 0:06:49.240 I've had issues with it in previous mocks, and uh, 0:06:49.480 --> 0:06:52.240 Kazel falling to me here in the third round is 0:06:52.320 --> 0:06:55.000 a gift as far as I'm concerned. So to start 0:06:55.080 --> 0:06:57.880 with Cheerio and Kate tell Marte makes me a pretty 0:06:57.880 --> 0:06:59.880 happy boy. I am excited about this team. 0:07:00.160 --> 0:07:00.360 Sure. 0:07:00.720 --> 0:07:03.240 Yeah. It feels a little almost like like the Lord 0:07:03.279 --> 0:07:04.960 of the Rings. It's a gift moment. There is that 0:07:05.040 --> 0:07:06.640 the gift you're gonna use for that pick. It feels 0:07:06.720 --> 0:07:08.719 like it that is my gift, just a little bit. 0:07:09.040 --> 0:07:11.480 Katel Marte goes off the board to Bogman at three 0:07:11.680 --> 0:07:15.080 oh three. Chris Sale. That puts me on the clock here. 0:07:15.440 --> 0:07:17.400 Jackson Merrill coming off a really good season. He is 0:07:17.440 --> 0:07:20.520 incredibly tempting, gives me some stolen bases, gives me average. 0:07:20.960 --> 0:07:22.880 Do I worry about a sophomore slump a little bit, 0:07:23.440 --> 0:07:25.040 But you know what, I think I've seen enough where 0:07:25.040 --> 0:07:26.560 I'm just gonna lock that day. And that's also the 0:07:26.640 --> 0:07:31.360 suggestion from Draft Wizard to Dever still around, Chishom, still around, tempting, 0:07:31.400 --> 0:07:33.680 but chishm I feel like always has an injury issue. 0:07:33.680 --> 0:07:35.320 So I'm gonna go ahead and take Jackson Merril here. 0:07:35.360 --> 0:07:37.440 So I've got my corners, I got an outfielder. I 0:07:37.600 --> 0:07:40.160 like the way this is going. After Merrill goes off 0:07:40.240 --> 0:07:42.600 the board, Ralph Field dever is no surprise at three 0:07:42.680 --> 0:07:46.320 oh five, and Willia doms at three to six, and 0:07:46.400 --> 0:07:48.560 then Manny machadoa three o seven, which brings us back 0:07:48.560 --> 0:07:51.040 to Joe Rico, who's got Dela Cruz and Vlad Guerrero. 0:07:51.120 --> 0:07:53.920 A great start to that team. Joe, you're pivoting to pitching. 0:07:53.960 --> 0:07:55.800 You're gonna continue to pound the offense. 0:07:56.000 --> 0:07:58.200 No, I'm gonna continue with the offense here, and I'm 0:07:58.200 --> 0:08:00.400 gonna take care of another kind of scarcep position with 0:08:00.480 --> 0:08:02.840 third base. Continue the trend here, we've seen Devers and 0:08:02.880 --> 0:08:04.400 Machada go off the board, and I am going to 0:08:04.440 --> 0:08:06.560 take Austin Riley, really buying into the bounce back for 0:08:06.680 --> 0:08:08.640 him and for the Braves as a whole. So I 0:08:08.640 --> 0:08:10.320 couldn't be happier through my first three picks. 0:08:11.320 --> 0:08:13.120 And Riley started to bounce back last year, and then 0:08:13.120 --> 0:08:15.680 obviously the injury. But hopefully it's all just about health 0:08:15.720 --> 0:08:17.280 for the Atlanta Braves this year. Right, you get a 0:08:17.320 --> 0:08:19.880 coony back eventually, Albi's missed a ton of time last year. 0:08:20.400 --> 0:08:23.280 Riley seems all kinds of confused. Everything that could have 0:08:23.360 --> 0:08:26.040 gone wrong for the Braves, a team that typically everything 0:08:26.080 --> 0:08:28.680 goes right for really did. So the Austin Riley bounce 0:08:28.760 --> 0:08:30.920 back here in the third round certainly seems like a value. 0:08:31.160 --> 0:08:34.960 Jass Chishom goes next to Team nine. Team ten goes 0:08:34.960 --> 0:08:38.079 ahead and selects Pete Alonzo Welsh. You went picture with 0:08:38.160 --> 0:08:39.719 Garrett Crochet, I know you're on the boards and I 0:08:39.800 --> 0:08:41.600 to let you make that pick. Ozzie Albi's and Corey 0:08:41.640 --> 0:08:44.280 Seger go with the turn. So to begin the fourth round, 0:08:44.320 --> 0:08:47.480 it's Corey Seeger Welsh, Garrett Crochet, what's the next pick 0:08:47.520 --> 0:08:49.439 here at four h two, and let's talk about both. 0:08:49.640 --> 0:08:51.719 Ah Man, Well, it's gonna be Corey Seger, and I 0:08:51.800 --> 0:08:54.040 did get a They think it's a reach. 0:08:54.120 --> 0:08:54.520 I do not. 0:08:54.679 --> 0:08:57.960 I've got Garrett Crochet inside my top five SPS logan, 0:08:57.960 --> 0:09:01.240 Gilbert's on the board, Corbyn Burns, Dylan's, so you know, 0:09:01.360 --> 0:09:03.559 maybe in this system, I should have taken Seeger and 0:09:03.600 --> 0:09:05.679 I probably would have got Garrett Crochet back. But I 0:09:05.880 --> 0:09:08.800 did not think I was getting Garrett Crochet with with 0:09:08.920 --> 0:09:11.199 a Rico right in front of me, So that was 0:09:11.240 --> 0:09:14.520 a big get. I kind of don't want to do 0:09:14.840 --> 0:09:19.079 the back to back double tap pictures here, even though 0:09:19.080 --> 0:09:21.120 there are some really good pictures. I just think there's 0:09:21.160 --> 0:09:24.760 some fantastic value. So Corey Seer was like a thousand 0:09:24.840 --> 0:09:26.760 percent the guy that I wanted. So I'm gonna pivot 0:09:27.200 --> 0:09:29.120 and we're gonna keep building on this team. We're going 0:09:29.160 --> 0:09:31.360 with Michael Harris. We're gonna take Michael Harris. I got 0:09:32.000 --> 0:09:35.000 a killer outfield which can really fall apart. I got 0:09:35.040 --> 0:09:37.120 all the stolen bases in the world, and I've got 0:09:37.160 --> 0:09:40.040 a potential league leader in strikeouts with Garrett Crochet. But 0:09:40.080 --> 0:09:42.120 I'm gonna have to build my infield because my infield 0:09:42.200 --> 0:09:44.040 is dvoit right now, I have nobody. 0:09:45.240 --> 0:09:47.720 I don't like Michael Harris. Still I can't. I can't 0:09:47.720 --> 0:09:49.559 wrap my mind around it. And I'm actually surprised that 0:09:49.600 --> 0:09:51.640 you would take him here over guys like Wood and Langford, 0:09:51.640 --> 0:09:55.000 who I think have a higher potential overall ceiling. I 0:09:55.120 --> 0:09:57.199 love you, I don't like. I don't like Michael Harris, 0:09:57.280 --> 0:09:58.640 and that's h wrap my mind around. 0:09:58.679 --> 0:10:00.120 Well, it's fine, he had a great second half, but 0:10:00.280 --> 0:10:03.199 like I've already got Tatis and Carrol, so I don't 0:10:03.320 --> 0:10:06.640 really need to play for even more upside when I'm 0:10:06.640 --> 0:10:09.040 already gonna get a higher batting average twenty twenty guy 0:10:09.040 --> 0:10:11.120 out to Michael Harris. Maybe I'm leaving something off the 0:10:11.120 --> 0:10:13.720 board a little bit, but there's strikeout issues are theoretical 0:10:13.760 --> 0:10:17.680 ones with Woods, we saw a bad first half with Langford. 0:10:17.760 --> 0:10:19.720 I'm not trying to downplay because I would one hundred 0:10:19.720 --> 0:10:22.120 percent take those guys in a heartbeat. But for this construction, 0:10:22.720 --> 0:10:25.719 like Michael Harris as a twenty twenty potential with really 0:10:25.720 --> 0:10:28.160 good average makes sense for this team. Did I upset you, 0:10:28.240 --> 0:10:28.640 al Rico? 0:10:29.720 --> 0:10:32.120 Yes, I'm not impressed. Right now, I'm not impressed. 0:10:34.320 --> 0:10:36.400 Logan Gilbert goes next to four h three, then jose 0:10:36.400 --> 0:10:38.719 Al twove at four oh four. There's rumors too, we're 0:10:38.720 --> 0:10:41.280 still waiting for Bregman to sign that maybe Altuve goes 0:10:41.280 --> 0:10:43.240 to the outfield. We'll see if that happens. Y a Urrico, 0:10:44.000 --> 0:10:45.840 let's talk about your selection of four oh five. Would 0:10:45.840 --> 0:10:45.959 you do? 0:10:46.559 --> 0:10:48.640 So? I went with Cole Reagan's I wanted. 0:10:48.679 --> 0:10:50.319 I was hoping that Crochet would get to me, but 0:10:50.480 --> 0:10:52.600 the same thing that happened in our last mock, Welsh 0:10:52.640 --> 0:10:56.079 takes him right before I suck at Trebek. Yeah, he 0:10:56.200 --> 0:10:58.040 got him in there, So I was trying to play 0:10:58.080 --> 0:10:59.880 the board a little bit. I'm a huge de Gram guy, 0:11:00.000 --> 0:11:02.080 and anybody heard me speak or see me on social 0:11:02.120 --> 0:11:03.800 media this year knows that I'm a big to Graham guy. 0:11:03.880 --> 0:11:06.000 I figured he would fall back, so I took Cole 0:11:06.080 --> 0:11:08.400 Reagan's in the fourth. Who I love love Cole Reagan's, 0:11:08.520 --> 0:11:10.120 and I was thinking I'd get the Gram in the fifth, 0:11:10.200 --> 0:11:12.800 but he went one pick before you, Joe, So I'm 0:11:12.840 --> 0:11:14.959 totally fine with Cole Reagan's as the acre. I've already 0:11:14.960 --> 0:11:18.160 built a solid offensive corps and then I get a 0:11:18.280 --> 0:11:20.320 super star. I mean a superstar pitcher in the making. 0:11:20.360 --> 0:11:22.439 If he's not already there yet, then he's he's well 0:11:22.480 --> 0:11:22.880 in his way. 0:11:24.200 --> 0:11:27.280 Dylan Cees goes next in what is quite the pitcher run, 0:11:27.360 --> 0:11:30.560 so Reagans Cese Burns de Gram. Then I took Blake 0:11:30.559 --> 0:11:33.680 Snell at four oh nine. Class A goes at four ten. 0:11:34.200 --> 0:11:36.520 Scott Bogman continues the pitching we're on at four eleven. 0:11:36.559 --> 0:11:38.760 Then whyitet Langford at the four to twelve turn five 0:11:38.800 --> 0:11:41.840 oh one? William Contreras boggs, you're up next. You took Cole. 0:11:41.840 --> 0:11:43.200 Who'd you take with five oh two? 0:11:43.920 --> 0:11:47.560 I'm getting I'm getting hosed here because I had Snell 0:11:47.640 --> 0:11:50.520 and class A in my cue. My last two guys left, 0:11:50.679 --> 0:11:54.880 and you took Snell and then class Man oh Man, 0:11:55.080 --> 0:11:57.480 and then I was like, okay, let's go with Garrett 0:11:57.480 --> 0:11:59.640 Cole and whyaet Langford? So I take Cole first because 0:11:59.640 --> 0:12:03.400 the pitch went and then Langford went a pick right 0:12:03.480 --> 0:12:05.320 after me. So I'm just gonna go ahead and double 0:12:05.360 --> 0:12:08.000 tap pitching. I'm gonna go with Garrett Cole and George Kirby. 0:12:08.240 --> 0:12:11.120 Not the sexiest staff, but I got my two aces 0:12:11.200 --> 0:12:11.719 here well. 0:12:11.760 --> 0:12:13.520 But certainly I think when you have coal in the 0:12:13.559 --> 0:12:15.920 back of your mind. That health is still floating around 0:12:15.920 --> 0:12:17.520 there for you too, right like, I. 0:12:17.559 --> 0:12:18.440 Mean, yeah, it happens. 0:12:18.559 --> 0:12:21.280 That's why I want it's now right, so me too, 0:12:21.679 --> 0:12:24.439 That's why I took him. All right, let's continue to 0:12:24.520 --> 0:12:26.160 look here. This is a tough one for me. Michael 0:12:26.240 --> 0:12:28.200 King's still on the board. I do love Michael King. Again, 0:12:28.240 --> 0:12:31.480 there's trade rumors about Ceas, trade rumors about King. There's 0:12:31.480 --> 0:12:33.319 still some pitchers on the board that I feel pretty 0:12:33.320 --> 0:12:36.400 good about. But you know what, not first your last, 0:12:36.480 --> 0:12:38.199 So I want to go ahead and take a shot here. 0:12:38.600 --> 0:12:40.439 Draft wars are telling me the biggest boost here, and 0:12:40.520 --> 0:12:42.760 I love this, especially when you sink your leagues here. 0:12:43.160 --> 0:12:45.840 You'll see this during your actual live drafts. It sinks 0:12:45.880 --> 0:12:48.160 to everything, fan track, CBS, you name it. It sinks 0:12:48.240 --> 0:12:50.880 up there and you will get all these little tiny 0:12:51.120 --> 0:12:52.800 bells and whistles. I tell you, hey, this player's the 0:12:52.800 --> 0:12:55.720 biggest boost to your roster right now. And although Taeoscarnandez 0:12:55.760 --> 0:12:57.439 is very interesting, I'm gonna take James Wood in the 0:12:57.520 --> 0:12:59.439 upside here. So give me Wood at five oh four. 0:13:00.200 --> 0:13:04.480 I realize phrasing next to five oh five, O'Neil Cruz. 0:13:04.800 --> 0:13:06.840 Then Michael King goes off the board to Team six. 0:13:06.920 --> 0:13:09.280 Here what a pitching staff for Team six? Scooble schemes, 0:13:10.160 --> 0:13:13.199 Corbyn Burns, Michael kidding, Team six, you better draft some all? 0:13:13.400 --> 0:13:16.400 Is that the sporer bot? I feel like potentially, I'm 0:13:16.440 --> 0:13:18.880 not sure what that is. I miss Paul. We got 0:13:19.000 --> 0:13:21.240 to get Paul in the show soon. Marcus Simeon goes next. 0:13:21.280 --> 0:13:24.040 Who I was also contemplating at five oh seven, five 0:13:24.120 --> 0:13:26.040 oh eight, Joe Rico, you're on the clock. What are 0:13:26.040 --> 0:13:27.160 you doing well? 0:13:27.240 --> 0:13:29.679 You mentioned his name when you were debating outfielders there. 0:13:29.679 --> 0:13:31.679 I'm gonna go with ta Oscar Hernandez. He's going back 0:13:31.720 --> 0:13:33.600 to a great spot. He's going to be right behind 0:13:33.640 --> 0:13:36.680 that big three headed monster in Los Angeles of Otani, 0:13:36.720 --> 0:13:39.080 Bets and Freeman, and I think easily another thirty homers 0:13:39.080 --> 0:13:41.280 one hundred RBI season in coming, and with four outfielders, 0:13:41.320 --> 0:13:42.839 you don't want to leave it too long, so I 0:13:42.920 --> 0:13:44.319 need to start taking care of that. He is my 0:13:44.360 --> 0:13:46.560 first outfielder, all right. 0:13:46.640 --> 0:13:49.120 Can also see the top suggestions here on Draft Wizard. 0:13:49.200 --> 0:13:51.400 It's gonna tell you also the pick predictor who's going 0:13:51.480 --> 0:13:53.280 to make it back to you who's not, which is 0:13:53.400 --> 0:13:55.880 really super helpful in those live drafts. Again, if you 0:13:55.960 --> 0:13:58.000 want to dominate your leagues, this is how you do it. 0:13:58.080 --> 0:14:01.199 You use Draft Wizard. Download it today. Next up here 0:14:01.480 --> 0:14:05.600 after Ti Oscar goes, C J. Abrams goes, Devin Williams goes. 0:14:05.720 --> 0:14:08.120 I know Welsh loves to take closers. The top suggestion 0:14:08.280 --> 0:14:10.000 I think right now might be Edwin Diaz, but I 0:14:10.040 --> 0:14:12.480 don't think that's a Welsh style pick. I just don't 0:14:12.520 --> 0:14:13.120 feel it now. 0:14:13.160 --> 0:14:14.960 I know what I'm gonna double tap here. I did 0:14:16.200 --> 0:14:18.480 I did want on Ao Cruiz with this pick. So 0:14:18.880 --> 0:14:21.120 I'm gonna go with I'm gonna there's great pictures, there's 0:14:21.160 --> 0:14:23.240 great closers. I'm gonna pivot off of both of those. 0:14:23.280 --> 0:14:25.760 I'm gonna go with a massive bat in Brent Rooker, 0:14:25.920 --> 0:14:29.000 who's gonna qualify outfield here again, I'm going berserko with 0:14:29.120 --> 0:14:33.360 it because I want the power and I'm gonna do 0:14:33.560 --> 0:14:36.840 this And this is a very positional thing that I'm 0:14:36.880 --> 0:14:42.800 making a change here. I'm gonna get dinged now. I'm 0:14:42.960 --> 0:14:44.160 screwing myself now. 0:14:44.520 --> 0:14:45.320 No, I'm gonna do this. 0:14:45.600 --> 0:14:49.080 Nope, I'm gonna risk it. I gotta take Christian Walker. Sorry, 0:14:49.080 --> 0:14:51.640 I gotta take Christian Walker. I need some infield. I 0:14:51.760 --> 0:14:55.440 have done first base gets kind of obviously him in Houston, 0:14:55.480 --> 0:14:58.400 and that shorter porch is gonna be phenomenal. I'm not 0:14:58.720 --> 0:15:02.080 really doing a great job of doing the batting average thing. 0:15:02.200 --> 0:15:03.800 This is head to head, though, and if you were 0:15:03.880 --> 0:15:06.280 to punt something, I guess I'm kind of leaning into 0:15:06.360 --> 0:15:09.320 maybe this is a punt ish batting average team. I 0:15:09.360 --> 0:15:11.440 wouldn't want to do this in Rodo, but I really 0:15:11.520 --> 0:15:14.880 wanted to stack a big power and Rooker and Christian 0:15:14.920 --> 0:15:16.160 Walker do that for me. 0:15:17.000 --> 0:15:19.360 Okay, fair enough. I need to stack some power up too, 0:15:19.400 --> 0:15:21.000 So I got to think about that with my next pick, 0:15:21.720 --> 0:15:24.760 next one here after, I should say, after Brent Rooker, 0:15:24.840 --> 0:15:26.960 the turnpicks two more pitchers off the board, a closer 0:15:27.000 --> 0:15:30.000 and a starter, Pablo Lopez than Josh Hater six' oh, 0:15:30.080 --> 0:15:33.400 Two Christian walker six' oh, Three Lawrence, butler Then Edwin, 0:15:33.440 --> 0:15:36.000 Diaz Joe. Rico you took a closer To Mason miller 0:15:36.000 --> 0:15:38.160 at six oh? Five would you have Taken diaz if 0:15:38.160 --> 0:15:40.120 you was still? There Was Mason miller higher in your? Ranking? 0:15:40.280 --> 0:15:41.920 NO i Got. MILLER i believe one spot. 0:15:42.000 --> 0:15:43.720 HIGHER i don't have the relief pitcher rankings up right, 0:15:43.760 --> 0:15:46.960 now But i'm slightly more confident In miller after how 0:15:47.080 --> 0:15:49.560 just how dominant he was last. SEASON i feel like 0:15:49.600 --> 0:15:51.480 The a's are going to have probably some more win 0:15:51.600 --> 0:15:53.920 slash save opportunities to this. YEAR i feel like they're 0:15:53.920 --> 0:15:55.600 going to be a little bit. Better so potential for 0:15:55.680 --> 0:15:58.000 thirty to thirty five saves if he stays. Healthy and 0:15:58.080 --> 0:16:00.040 he was kind of JUST i was playing chicken a 0:16:00.040 --> 0:16:02.120 little bit, there waiting for the last closer in that top, 0:16:02.200 --> 0:16:02.680 tier AND i got. 0:16:02.760 --> 0:16:03.480 HIM i was lucky to get. 0:16:03.560 --> 0:16:06.160 Him why are you being a? Slacker why don't you 0:16:06.200 --> 0:16:07.760 have your ranks up? There what are you? 0:16:07.800 --> 0:16:11.720 Doing i'm going for memory with.
