00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:42,519
Speaker 3: joined as always by Mike Mayer. We are talking a

14
00:00:42,520 --> 00:00:45,120
Speaker 3: whole bunch of stuff. We're gonna talk some pictures, We're

18
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:55,680
Speaker 3: rounding the bases as always, before we dive into some

19
00:00:55,720 --> 00:00:57,640
Speaker 3: of the trending topics around in the league.

20
00:00:57,840 --> 00:00:58,720
Speaker 4: Mayor, how are you doing?

21
00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:00,520
Speaker 3: How are now that we're like a couple week because

22
00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:02,120
Speaker 3: like that first week, it's okay, it could be.

23
00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:02,720
Speaker 4: Kind of a fluke.

24
00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:05,119
Speaker 3: You never know, like you know, it's really small sample size.

25
00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:07,120
Speaker 3: A couple weeks in. How are your teams looking for

26
00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:08,759
Speaker 3: the twenty twenty five fantasy season.

27
00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:11,240
Speaker 2: It's kind of a mixed bag of everything. There's a

28
00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:13,360
Speaker 2: couple leagues I'm doing really well. There's at least one

29
00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:17,039
Speaker 2: league I'm doing really poorly, and the other few I'm

30
00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:20,400
Speaker 2: like average, two above average. But you know, across my

31
00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:23,400
Speaker 2: I think I'm in eight leagues. I'm doing fairly well

32
00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:27,000
Speaker 2: in most of them, maybe one or two. I got

33
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:30,120
Speaker 2: some work to do. I'm in trouble, especially one one

34
00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:32,480
Speaker 2: that we're in together. I'm near the bottom. It's my

35
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:34,160
Speaker 2: hitting that's really holding me back. I do have some

36
00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:35,920
Speaker 2: players coming back that can help me soon, but it's

37
00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:37,120
Speaker 2: not looking great right now.

38
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:39,640
Speaker 3: I was gonna say, you and I are in two

39
00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:42,800
Speaker 3: leagues together, and I am performing very well in both

40
00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:43,040
Speaker 3: of them.

41
00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:45,040
Speaker 4: They are probably the two best leagues I am in

42
00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:45,480
Speaker 4: this year.

43
00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:49,440
Speaker 3: I have other leagues where I'm not doing so hot,

44
00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:54,200
Speaker 3: including the Fantasy pros. Like in house Work League, I

45
00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:55,080
Speaker 3: am in dead last.

46
00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:57,800
Speaker 2: So that's are you're dead last? Me? You and Kelly

47
00:01:57,800 --> 00:01:59,920
Speaker 2: were like the top three performing teams last week.

48
00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:03,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, my first my first two weeks were.

49
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:05,440
Speaker 3: First of all, they counted the first half week as

50
00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:06,960
Speaker 3: a full week, and I just had a bad like

51
00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:09,360
Speaker 3: three days, and so that hurt me because it's a

52
00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:11,280
Speaker 3: categories league.

53
00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:13,800
Speaker 4: So I went like, you know, one and nine or something,

54
00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:15,160
Speaker 4: and then I had.

55
00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:16,760
Speaker 2: Like May, so you got to count that for this week.

56
00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:19,359
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I had a very poor second week. I

57
00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:20,880
Speaker 3: was a good I had a good third week. But

58
00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:24,560
Speaker 3: there's only so much he can bounce back, so a

59
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:26,400
Speaker 3: lot of work to do in that one. But yeah,

60
00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:28,600
Speaker 3: let's let's side into some of the stuff going on

61
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:31,480
Speaker 3: around baseball. I put in you told me before we

62
00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:33,880
Speaker 3: started recording that you don't really have a strong, you

63
00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:36,920
Speaker 3: know take on this situation. But like we have to

64
00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:39,480
Speaker 3: just mention Spencer Stryder finally returning, Like this is a

65
00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:42,200
Speaker 3: guy who, prior to getting hurt, was the like as

66
00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:44,920
Speaker 3: consensus of an sp one as you can get in

67
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:46,360
Speaker 3: fantasy baseball.

68
00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:47,680
Speaker 4: You know, really no.

69
00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:51,680
Speaker 3: Red flags at all, just you know, an elite, elite,

70
00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:56,720
Speaker 3: elite fantasy ace. And Stryder went five innings, two runs,

71
00:02:56,760 --> 00:02:59,360
Speaker 3: one walk, five strikeouts, gave up a home run. He

72
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:02,920
Speaker 3: threw ninety Evan pitches in his first outing back. Obviously

73
00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:05,360
Speaker 3: he had a couple of reheb starts in there to

74
00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:07,799
Speaker 3: build up the workload. But you know this is over

75
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:11,680
Speaker 3: a year you last saw him, and he looked like

76
00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:16,320
Speaker 3: not too far off version of Spencer Strider. What was

77
00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:19,000
Speaker 3: your kind of takeaway from watching that or checking the

78
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:19,520
Speaker 3: box score?

79
00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:22,760
Speaker 2: Well, my first take was I actually tweeted about it

80
00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:25,000
Speaker 2: how annoyed I am because I live in Georgia, where

81
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:27,680
Speaker 2: I should be able to watch the Braves, but they

82
00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:30,000
Speaker 2: are not on local television because of like a you know,

83
00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:33,519
Speaker 2: contract dispute, but then also blacked out on MLB TV,

84
00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:35,920
Speaker 2: So the Braves are the one team I can't watch live.

85
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:39,480
Speaker 2: So I had to watch his back. I know some

86
00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:40,960
Speaker 2: people were out there, they were a little concerned. The

87
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:43,840
Speaker 2: velocity was down like a mile per hour. I thought

88
00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:46,480
Speaker 2: it looked fine, you know, like obviously he didn't look

89
00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:49,480
Speaker 2: like the elite, elite, elite version of Spencer Strider. But

90
00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:52,280
Speaker 2: I thought like, this is what a first start back

91
00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:54,480
Speaker 2: looks like for a good picture, you know, like they

92
00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:56,440
Speaker 2: don't always come out and throw eight shut out at inns.

93
00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:57,920
Speaker 2: Sometimes you go out there he throw five innings, you

94
00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:00,680
Speaker 2: don't have your best stuff and it's fine. Like he

95
00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:03,920
Speaker 2: didn't get rocked. He didn't look amazing. I don't think

96
00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:06,680
Speaker 2: the velocity was down enough that it's like concerning, because

97
00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:09,200
Speaker 2: he still got a few fastballs up over ninety seven

98
00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:11,880
Speaker 2: miles an hour. I think, I think that's going to

99
00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:14,120
Speaker 2: be just fine. I think, you know, even if that's

100
00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:16,440
Speaker 2: where he sits most of the season, I think he'll

101
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:18,839
Speaker 2: be okay at that. You know, it's not like he's

102
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:20,640
Speaker 2: you know, he through ninety three to ninety four. Now

103
00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:22,080
Speaker 2: he's down at like ninety one, where it could be

104
00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:24,719
Speaker 2: a problem. Which is kind of funny to say that

105
00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:26,880
Speaker 2: now because like you know, in the nineties, you'll be like, wow,

106
00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:32,360
Speaker 2: ninety one, that's great. But yeah, I know some people

107
00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:35,360
Speaker 2: are a little worried. I'm not that worried. I think

108
00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:36,159
Speaker 2: he looked fine.

109
00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:42,000
Speaker 3: So I guess the real question is how many pitchers

110
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:43,600
Speaker 3: would you rather have than him rest of season?

111
00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:45,080
Speaker 4: If the season started today.

112
00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:48,159
Speaker 3: You're presuming you have him for the quote unquote whole year.

113
00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:51,960
Speaker 3: The rest of they going forward, where is he? I mean,

114
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:54,480
Speaker 3: I'll tell you in ECR and rest of season rankings,

115
00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:57,280
Speaker 3: which isn't always updated that quickly, but for what it's worth,

116
00:04:57,360 --> 00:04:59,560
Speaker 3: he's at a sorry picture thirteen.

117
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:01,200
Speaker 4: Actually it's twelve.

118
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:02,760
Speaker 3: Because Otani's ahead of him just because of the way

119
00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:04,640
Speaker 3: the rankings look, but obviously a Tani we're not looking

120
00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:07,000
Speaker 3: at as a picture, so so really the twelfth highest

121
00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:10,239
Speaker 3: ranked picture rest of season. There are definitely names ahead

122
00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:12,400
Speaker 3: of him that I would rather have him than that.

123
00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:16,480
Speaker 3: The names immediately ahead of him are Michael King, Corbyn Burns,

124
00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:18,080
Speaker 3: still and ceased, Jacob de Gram.

125
00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:19,680
Speaker 4: I'd rather have.

126
00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:24,679
Speaker 3: Him than maybe all of those guys. Cease is maybe

127
00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:26,880
Speaker 3: the one that I would think about, but I definitely

128
00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:29,200
Speaker 3: rather have Strider than Corban Burns from what we've seen.

129
00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:31,680
Speaker 3: I mean, I think Strider is less of an injury

130
00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:33,080
Speaker 3: risk than Jacob de Gram.

131
00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:36,000
Speaker 4: And Michael King said, you know, some good, some.

132
00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:38,760
Speaker 3: Bad, but I'm pretty sure i'd rather have Strider as

133
00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:42,400
Speaker 3: like that SP eight ish range is what first jumps

134
00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:42,800
Speaker 3: out to me.

135
00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:44,000
Speaker 4: What do you think about that?

136
00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:47,360
Speaker 2: I in my rankings, I moving him up to SP five,

137
00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:49,960
Speaker 2: So SB six five, okay if you include Otani, but

138
00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:52,840
Speaker 2: SP five I only have Skiens, schoolbl Crochet, and Wheeler

139
00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:56,200
Speaker 2: ahead of him, and then I have Strider and then

140
00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:57,600
Speaker 2: you know the rest of the rest of the list.

141
00:05:57,600 --> 00:05:59,120
Speaker 2: But yeah, I wand him up.

142
00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:00,760
Speaker 4: So I think that's fair.

143
00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:04,360
Speaker 3: The one name that is ahead of like even Crochet

144
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:08,960
Speaker 3: that you didn't mention his logan Gilbert in ECR, he's fourth, Okay,

145
00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:09,320
Speaker 3: so you have.

146
00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:10,279
Speaker 4: Him right after Strider.

147
00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:13,760
Speaker 3: Okay, Yeah, I think that's sale in Reagan's like it's worth,

148
00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:17,360
Speaker 3: you know, thinking about more. I think I'd probably rather

149
00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:20,160
Speaker 3: have Reagans than Strider, but I totally get the case

150
00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:23,200
Speaker 3: for reversing those I think that's like the tier i'd

151
00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:27,760
Speaker 3: have him in, and I imagine that ECR will move

152
00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:29,840
Speaker 3: up with Strider, Like, what do you see a couple

153
00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:32,800
Speaker 3: more starts under his belt? Because there was I know

154
00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:36,560
Speaker 3: you mentioned the velocity, but like, I'm pretty thoroughly unconcerned

155
00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:38,280
Speaker 3: about what we saw. What about I'll just ask you

156
00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:40,520
Speaker 3: one last thing on him. Is he somebody that you

157
00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:44,560
Speaker 3: would be looking to include in trades either are you

158
00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:46,440
Speaker 3: worried about some kind of injury you want to sell him?

159
00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:48,200
Speaker 3: It sounds like no base on where you're ranking him,

160
00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:51,640
Speaker 3: or would you be saying like, hey, let's let's make

161
00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:53,600
Speaker 3: it offer for him as if he is an ace

162
00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:56,520
Speaker 3: like actually pay up by high to get him in

163
00:06:56,560 --> 00:06:57,000
Speaker 3: your roster.

164
00:06:57,800 --> 00:06:59,520
Speaker 2: So I think about this a lot with like a player,

165
00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:01,479
Speaker 2: because you I'm so, if you have Spencer Strider, you

166
00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:05,760
Speaker 2: probably drafted him and waited and you know now you're

167
00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:07,720
Speaker 2: happy because he's here. So do you want to just

168
00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:11,040
Speaker 2: get rid of him already? I think the answer is

169
00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:13,600
Speaker 2: only if it's a cell high like because a lot

170
00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:16,000
Speaker 2: of times, like a you know, a player that was hurt,

171
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:18,280
Speaker 2: he comes back, you start getting trade offers like pretty

172
00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:20,400
Speaker 2: much imediately, and you're like, hold on, bucko, like I'm

173
00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:22,360
Speaker 2: the one who drafted this guy and stashed him, like

174
00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:24,080
Speaker 2: I'm gonna you know, reap the benefits. Now you're not

175
00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:26,720
Speaker 2: going to trade for him. I'd be willing to sell

176
00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:28,680
Speaker 2: high because you know, there's always with any picture, there's

177
00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:32,640
Speaker 2: injury concern, and especially coming off of Tommy John surgery,

178
00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:34,560
Speaker 2: the thing that's most likely to happen coming off of

179
00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:38,240
Speaker 2: Tommy John surgery is getting Tommy John surgery again. So

180
00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:42,800
Speaker 2: there's always you know, concern there. But yeah, it would

181
00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:44,360
Speaker 2: have to be a cell high for me because for me,

182
00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:48,400
Speaker 2: I invested at him, I drafted him, and I think

183
00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:51,360
Speaker 2: a lot of people were worried that, you know, he

184
00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:54,200
Speaker 2: might not return till like May or June. But then

185
00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:56,520
Speaker 2: you know, as we started getting into fantasy draft season,

186
00:07:57,160 --> 00:07:58,680
Speaker 2: we start to see, hey, this guy's throwing off a

187
00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:00,800
Speaker 2: mound already, and it starts to think, hey, this guy

188
00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:03,920
Speaker 2: might be back by mid April. And that's exactly what happened.

189
00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:05,720
Speaker 2: And so you probably got a pretty good discount on

190
00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:09,000
Speaker 2: him depending on like when you drafted, because he's already back.

191
00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:11,600
Speaker 2: So yeah, I'm definitely holding. But you know, if you

192
00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:14,520
Speaker 2: want to, you know, make me a godfather offer, you know,

193
00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:15,840
Speaker 2: I'll listen.

194
00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:18,559
Speaker 4: By the way, just because I'm looking.

195
00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:21,680
Speaker 3: The name right after him currently in ECR is Yamamoto.

196
00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:23,440
Speaker 3: I think he should be hired to like I would.

197
00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:26,680
Speaker 3: I would rather have Yamamoto than like from again, from

198
00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:29,560
Speaker 3: what we've seen from Corbin Burns, I couldn't have been

199
00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:32,480
Speaker 3: more out on Jacob de Gram in draft season. I

200
00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:35,840
Speaker 3: would rather have Galvamodo than him, just total lack of

201
00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:38,760
Speaker 3: trust there. Also not like he's been you know, stellar

202
00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:41,920
Speaker 3: to start the year anyway, even aside from the injury stuff.

203
00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:45,160
Speaker 3: Like so, I think Aavamoto is another guy that should

204
00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:47,720
Speaker 3: should move up a handful of spots as well.

205
00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:49,199
Speaker 4: In my opinion, I.

206
00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:51,080
Speaker 3: Want to remind everybody that if you want a chance

215
00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:18,080
Speaker 3: I want to look at an article on ESPN dot

216
00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:20,719
Speaker 3: com where they did their ACE rankings. This is a

217
00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:24,280
Speaker 3: few days ago, but it's since our last episode of recording,

218
00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:26,720
Speaker 3: and I just kind.

219
00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:29,000
Speaker 4: Of wanted to run through the list and see what

220
00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:29,520
Speaker 4: you thought.

221
00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:34,840
Speaker 3: Obviously, this is more just general ACE discussion than you know,

222
00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:40,000
Speaker 3: specifically fantasy driven but you know, obviously they're the best

223
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:42,480
Speaker 3: pictures in one are probably going to be near the

224
00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:44,480
Speaker 3: top of the best pictures in the other. And since

225
00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:46,880
Speaker 3: we kind of start off talking about Strider, I wanted

226
00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:49,880
Speaker 3: to kind of take a step back and evaluate. You know,

227
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:51,439
Speaker 3: in the last five years, there's been a lot of

228
00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:54,520
Speaker 3: changeover of who the true aces in baseball are. So

229
00:09:54,559 --> 00:09:58,000
Speaker 3: I think it's an interesting time to kind of reevaluate

230
00:09:58,040 --> 00:10:00,120
Speaker 3: reset and say, who are you know the guys at

231
00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:02,840
Speaker 3: the top. So in the ESPN article, which you know,

232
00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:06,000
Speaker 3: anybody can just go google it, they have a number

233
00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:09,280
Speaker 3: one Scooball hard to deny that coming off AlSi young.

234
00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:13,480
Speaker 3: Number two Paul Skeens obviously like aggressive given how little

235
00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:16,480
Speaker 3: experience he is, but hard to watch him and disagree

236
00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:20,400
Speaker 3: with him as that being too high. Zach Wheeler the

237
00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:24,440
Speaker 3: elder Statesmen here almost thirty five years old and not

238
00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:28,200
Speaker 3: the strongest start to his year like the last couple outings,

239
00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:29,480
Speaker 3: but obviously we still have a lot of.

240
00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:30,000
Speaker 4: Faith in him.

241
00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:33,840
Speaker 3: Garrett Crochet at four, Chris Sail at five, and then

242
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:37,000
Speaker 3: Framber at six. So the list goes deeper, but that's

243
00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:42,240
Speaker 3: their Tier one, the slam dunk aces. I'm guessing you

244
00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:46,000
Speaker 3: will largely agree with the top five. Obviously, Sale just

245
00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:48,120
Speaker 3: has kind of the question of like health, but he's

246
00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:51,600
Speaker 3: coming off the CI like was awesome last year, so

247
00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:54,920
Speaker 3: I think that was top five are pretty pretty valid. Framber,

248
00:10:55,040 --> 00:10:58,600
Speaker 3: I did not expect to see as a Tier one ACE.

249
00:10:58,760 --> 00:10:59,760
Speaker 4: What did you think about that?

250
00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:02,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a name that jumps out, I think. You know,

251
00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:05,040
Speaker 2: my first thought was like, maybe you can argue against Sale,

252
00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:06,280
Speaker 2: but I was like, well, he did just win the

253
00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:07,800
Speaker 2: cy Young So as much as I want to like

254
00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:11,640
Speaker 2: kind of fade him this year, hard to hard to

255
00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:13,840
Speaker 2: deny how he bounced back with the Braves last year,

256
00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:18,080
Speaker 2: But yeah, franber Valdez, like he's a really good picture,

257
00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:19,560
Speaker 2: but I don't know if he belongs in that like

258
00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:24,319
Speaker 2: tier one like ace you know conversation, especially because he

259
00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:28,440
Speaker 2: and like I don't want to kind of like you know,

260
00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:31,200
Speaker 2: speak out against like his style of pitching, because you know,

261
00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:34,120
Speaker 2: there was some really good pictures in history who you know,

262
00:11:34,280 --> 00:11:37,480
Speaker 2: like relied on contact and he's not like even that extreme.

263
00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:38,960
Speaker 2: But like we don't think of him as like being

264
00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:42,960
Speaker 2: like super dominant with like huge strikeout numbers. He's just

265
00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:45,199
Speaker 2: like a really really good pitcher, and I would say

266
00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:48,640
Speaker 2: he is an ACE. But to have him this high

267
00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:50,160
Speaker 2: above some of the other names on the list, I

268
00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:52,839
Speaker 2: think is a little interesting. Especially even if you wanted

269
00:11:52,840 --> 00:11:55,560
Speaker 2: to have him at like six after a tier break,

270
00:11:57,040 --> 00:11:58,520
Speaker 2: we would have like more of an argument, But to

271
00:11:58,559 --> 00:12:01,520
Speaker 2: include him in this top tier is pretty intriguing.

272
00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:03,800
Speaker 3: Do you think he definitely belongs even in the top twelve.

273
00:12:04,559 --> 00:12:06,040
Speaker 3: I think it's fair to call him an ace, like

274
00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:09,200
Speaker 3: is he is capable of being a team's best picture.

275
00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:13,000
Speaker 3: But I might get to twelve names before I came

276
00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:15,040
Speaker 3: up with him, if I was sitting down and saying,

277
00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:18,480
Speaker 3: like thinking true real world like these are like the

278
00:12:18,679 --> 00:12:21,480
Speaker 3: aces like let alone tier one, But this list only

279
00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:23,440
Speaker 3: goes twelve step, which is why I use that number.

280
00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:25,600
Speaker 3: I'm not sure I would have expected to see him

281
00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:28,079
Speaker 3: on the list even if he still would be inside

282
00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:30,600
Speaker 3: the top you know, twenty or twenty five or whatever

283
00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:33,240
Speaker 3: would get you in the range of like still an ace,

284
00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:36,440
Speaker 3: but not like a slam dunk tier one type of guy.

285
00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:38,400
Speaker 2: I think he belongs in the list a lot more

286
00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:40,079
Speaker 2: than one of the other pictures on this list. I

287
00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:41,319
Speaker 2: can tell you that I.

288
00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:43,000
Speaker 3: Wonder if we agree on who that other picture is.

289
00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:44,480
Speaker 3: Let's look at some more of the rest of the

290
00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:47,000
Speaker 3: list in tier two and this is just labeled as

291
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:50,640
Speaker 3: the second tier aces at number seven, Cole Reagan's number eight,

292
00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:54,760
Speaker 3: Logan Gilbert number nine, Corbyn Burns number ten, Dylan Cease

293
00:12:54,960 --> 00:13:00,480
Speaker 3: number eleven, Christopher Sanchez and number twelve Spencer Strider, mayor

294
00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:03,480
Speaker 3: I wonder which name it is that you think doesn't belong.

295
00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:05,640
Speaker 2: I think we're getting a little out of ahead of

296
00:13:05,679 --> 00:13:09,000
Speaker 2: our skis on this. Christopher Sanchez love to includ him

297
00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:11,000
Speaker 2: in this ACE conversation, like he's been a nice story,

298
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:12,920
Speaker 2: he's been really good. I don't know that he belongs,

299
00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:15,800
Speaker 2: like not even on list ahead of Spencer Strider, like

300
00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:16,680
Speaker 2: what are we doing here?

301
00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:19,920
Speaker 3: Uh? And and some of the other names who aren't

302
00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:23,160
Speaker 3: on the list like that. It clearly some of the

303
00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:26,240
Speaker 3: guys on here, like Strider and Sale have injury risks.

304
00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:27,800
Speaker 3: So if you're not if you're willing to set aside

305
00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:30,640
Speaker 3: injury risk, I think Hunter Green should be on there

306
00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:33,640
Speaker 3: ahead of him. I just mentioned Yamamoto on the fantasy side.

307
00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:37,160
Speaker 3: I think he I would certainly take ahead of Christopher Sanchez.

308
00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:39,199
Speaker 3: I mean, I think you make cases for some of

309
00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:42,240
Speaker 3: these other guys that didn't make the list, like Freed,

310
00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:48,760
Speaker 3: Schwellingback King, Kirby Schwellenbach, Logan Webb even like I I mean,

311
00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:50,720
Speaker 3: Garret Cole's out for the year. They mentioned him in

312
00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:54,679
Speaker 3: the kind of honorable mention. But yeah, Sanchez was like

313
00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:58,320
Speaker 3: like Franmber was like an eyebrow razor in tier one.

314
00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:01,680
Speaker 3: Sanchez is like an eye opener on this list.

315
00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:03,800
Speaker 2: Of them all. I think Strollenbag is an interesting case

316
00:14:03,880 --> 00:14:06,040
Speaker 2: just because like he's had in terms of like timeline

317
00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:09,520
Speaker 2: and performance, he's had kind of like this same rise

318
00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:13,680
Speaker 2: as Christopher Sanchez, just better and so like, I don't

319
00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:16,520
Speaker 2: know how you include Christopher Sanchez based on that track

320
00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:19,000
Speaker 2: record and not Spencer Swellenbach.

321
00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:23,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, that was that was surprising anybody that you would

322
00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:25,160
Speaker 3: want to make the case for being higher because we

323
00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:27,560
Speaker 3: talked about a couple of idioms that we thought were maybe,

324
00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:32,000
Speaker 3: you know, a little too high and it should be lower.

325
00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:34,120
Speaker 4: Who would you raise on this list?

326
00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:36,520
Speaker 3: I mean, Strider is like kind of an obvious one

327
00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:39,040
Speaker 3: because the only reason he's twelve is because of the

328
00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:39,880
Speaker 3: injury stuff.

329
00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:41,800
Speaker 4: Is anybody else?

330
00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:43,800
Speaker 3: I mean Reagan's I wonder if he's more of like

331
00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:47,160
Speaker 3: a like a fantasy Ace than a real life Ace.

332
00:14:47,200 --> 00:14:50,640
Speaker 3: But I'm actually not sure my thought process and even

333
00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:55,480
Speaker 3: saying that, like he is really good, he should be higher.

334
00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:57,920
Speaker 2: I think you could flip Logan Gilbert and fran ber

335
00:14:58,000 --> 00:14:59,320
Speaker 2: Valdez and I'd be okay with that.

336
00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:04,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, I wo'd agree with that too. For sure Corbyn

337
00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:06,760
Speaker 3: Burns will move on after this. I just thought it

338
00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:08,200
Speaker 3: was kind of an interesting article and want to get

339
00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:08,600
Speaker 3: your opinion.

340
00:15:08,640 --> 00:15:12,720
Speaker 4: But Burns is the one. What do you make of him.

341
00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:16,680
Speaker 3: For fantasy purposes moving forward? Because his stuff has gotten

342
00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:19,840
Speaker 3: worse the last few years, it hasn't mattered. He's still

343
00:15:19,880 --> 00:15:23,560
Speaker 3: been a very productive fantasy pitcher. Now the first year

344
00:15:23,560 --> 00:15:25,960
Speaker 3: in Arizona like off to another slow start. He's on

345
00:15:26,040 --> 00:15:29,720
Speaker 3: the wrong side of thirty. This article mentions that his

346
00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:35,240
Speaker 3: cutter velocity is starting to slip. I watched a lot

347
00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:37,360
Speaker 3: of him obviously last year, like you know, when he

348
00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:39,680
Speaker 3: was on the Orioles, and it felt like he wasn't

349
00:15:39,680 --> 00:15:43,120
Speaker 3: as good as like Cy young winner in Milwaukee Corbyn Burns,

350
00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:45,640
Speaker 3: but he was still like clearly an ace. I wonder

351
00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:48,160
Speaker 3: if we're just like trending in the wrong direction with him,

352
00:15:48,520 --> 00:15:51,000
Speaker 3: Like when you think about him the rest of season in

353
00:15:51,080 --> 00:15:53,360
Speaker 3: fantasy rankings, where would you have a guy like Burns

354
00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:54,800
Speaker 3: just given what we've seen to start the year.

355
00:15:55,480 --> 00:15:57,080
Speaker 2: I mean, I was not very high on him coming

356
00:15:57,120 --> 00:15:59,000
Speaker 2: into the year for all the reasons you just mentioned,

357
00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:01,240
Speaker 2: Like we're kind of seeing like there were there are

358
00:16:01,320 --> 00:16:03,320
Speaker 2: enough red flags to be concerned, right, Like we already

359
00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:05,520
Speaker 2: have enough concerns about most pitchers coming into the year.

360
00:16:05,560 --> 00:16:09,880
Speaker 2: I don't need extra ones. Like with some of like

361
00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:13,080
Speaker 2: the kind of like declining performance last year was like

362
00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:14,960
Speaker 2: the first year, like there were points leass year, like

363
00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:16,720
Speaker 2: he did not look dominant at all. He struck out

364
00:16:16,760 --> 00:16:19,960
Speaker 2: lesson about a printing. I still have him my top

365
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:23,720
Speaker 2: twelve for now. I don't know, I just feel like

366
00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:26,640
Speaker 2: I have to like to move him down just like

367
00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:28,480
Speaker 2: based on like he's still finished with like a two

368
00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:30,440
Speaker 2: point nine two er last year. It's still really good,

369
00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:32,440
Speaker 2: still one hundred and eighty one strikeouts in one hundred

370
00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:35,680
Speaker 2: ninety four innings. But we've seen the k rate decline

371
00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:39,840
Speaker 2: for what four or five years now, and some of it,

372
00:16:39,920 --> 00:16:41,960
Speaker 2: like it's not like kind of like a fluke thing

373
00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:44,280
Speaker 2: like some of his other like you mentioned, like velocity

374
00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:46,960
Speaker 2: and other things are kind of on the decline too

375
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:49,600
Speaker 2: and have been for a while. So it doesn't seem

376
00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:52,840
Speaker 2: like a temporary blit. It seems like a trend and

377
00:16:52,920 --> 00:16:56,680
Speaker 2: something that you know, he's he's been really good despite it.

378
00:16:56,720 --> 00:16:58,280
Speaker 2: He's kind of like you know, I don't know if

379
00:16:58,280 --> 00:17:00,080
Speaker 2: you would call it like learn to pitch around it.

380
00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:03,080
Speaker 2: But you know he's he's been adjusting, but you know,

381
00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:05,680
Speaker 2: another slow start. I think there are reasons to be concerned.

382
00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:09,120
Speaker 2: He doesn't have that deep you know, super Wall in

383
00:17:09,480 --> 00:17:12,280
Speaker 2: Baltimore behind him anymore. Now he's out in the in

384
00:17:12,320 --> 00:17:15,560
Speaker 2: the heat in Arizona, and uh yeah, I think there's

385
00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:17,399
Speaker 2: a lot of reason to be to be worried.

386
00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:25,240
Speaker 5: It's the Smucker's Uncrustables podcast with your host Uncrustables. Okay,

387
00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:29,040
Speaker 5: today's guest is rough around the Edges. Please welcome, crust

388
00:17:29,359 --> 00:17:32,600
Speaker 5: Thanks for having me today's topic. He's round with soft

389
00:17:32,600 --> 00:17:35,560
Speaker 5: pillowy bread hey, filled with delicious PEBMJ.

390
00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:37,399
Speaker 4: Are you talking about yourself?

391
00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:39,040
Speaker 5: And you can take him anywhere?

392
00:17:39,359 --> 00:17:41,800
Speaker 4: Why do you invite? And we are out of time?

393
00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:44,000
Speaker 4: Are you really cutting me off?

394
00:17:44,560 --> 00:17:46,640
Speaker 5: Uncrustables are the best part of the sandwich?

395
00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:51,520
Speaker 3: Sorry, crust our next topic here. We talked a little

396
00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:53,159
Speaker 3: bit last week because I had him as a pickup.

397
00:17:53,720 --> 00:17:56,600
Speaker 3: It looks like the A's are shuffling their lineup around

398
00:17:56,760 --> 00:17:58,560
Speaker 3: even more to make room for.

399
00:17:58,560 --> 00:17:59,760
Speaker 4: Their top prospect Nick.

400
00:18:01,400 --> 00:18:01,600
Speaker 2: Again.

401
00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:03,160
Speaker 3: We talked about him as a pick up last week,

402
00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:06,399
Speaker 3: but in the last since the last time we've recorded,

403
00:18:06,440 --> 00:18:08,800
Speaker 3: we've seen you know Brent Rooker playing in the outfield,

404
00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:12,480
Speaker 3: like some somebody had to move to make room between

405
00:18:12,560 --> 00:18:16,200
Speaker 3: DH first and then somebody going to the outfield, and

406
00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:18,760
Speaker 3: and it looks like the A's are are setting things

407
00:18:18,840 --> 00:18:22,160
Speaker 3: up to make that room for him. He's been awesome.

408
00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:24,639
Speaker 3: I think that while we were recording last week, he

409
00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:28,720
Speaker 3: hit another home run in the minors. First base is

410
00:18:28,760 --> 00:18:32,000
Speaker 3: not the strongest position in Fantasy this year. There are

411
00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:34,439
Speaker 3: still some great names at the top, so like obviously

412
00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:36,480
Speaker 3: you know, we're not talking about him in the level

413
00:18:36,560 --> 00:18:40,800
Speaker 3: of like Vlattie, Harper, Olsen Freeman, Alonso, Josh Naylor, those

414
00:18:40,800 --> 00:18:44,480
Speaker 3: are the top six. At what point do I get

415
00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:45,960
Speaker 3: to a name and I'm gonna keep reading names in

416
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:47,959
Speaker 3: ECR at the position, At what point do I get

417
00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:51,040
Speaker 3: to a name where you think you would reasonably consider

418
00:18:51,119 --> 00:18:53,480
Speaker 3: ranking Kurts as soon as he gets called up in

419
00:18:53,560 --> 00:18:55,280
Speaker 3: terms of rest of the season at first base, because

420
00:18:55,320 --> 00:19:00,160
Speaker 3: the next names after Naylor, Cody Bellinger, Salvador Perez, Christian Walker,

421
00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:05,760
Speaker 3: Tristan Cassis, Wilson Contreras, Jake Berger, Jan or Diez.

422
00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:07,080
Speaker 2: Am I supposed to stop you or you're just gonna

423
00:19:07,800 --> 00:19:08,240
Speaker 2: I thought you were.

424
00:19:08,280 --> 00:19:09,200
Speaker 4: I thought you were going to stop.

425
00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:12,680
Speaker 2: Okay, Tristan Cassas you I would gladly have Nick Kurtz

426
00:19:12,760 --> 00:19:13,760
Speaker 2: or Tristan.

427
00:19:13,560 --> 00:19:17,480
Speaker 3: Cases because that puts him as as tenth at the

428
00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:19,760
Speaker 3: at his position. Now, there might be other names that

429
00:19:19,800 --> 00:19:21,640
Speaker 3: you would actually you think are too low and would

430
00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:23,720
Speaker 3: move up. There's a lot of guys on this list

431
00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:27,200
Speaker 3: who have multiple position eligibility to you know, like Burger

432
00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:30,560
Speaker 3: and parade As is eligible a third and Arias and

433
00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:33,520
Speaker 3: second and stuff like that. But it sounds like you

434
00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:35,679
Speaker 3: see him as a borderline top ten first baseman as

435
00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:36,639
Speaker 3: soon as he gets called up.

436
00:19:37,240 --> 00:19:39,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's one of those things where it's an upside play.

437
00:19:39,080 --> 00:19:40,760
Speaker 2: Like there is a lot of concern with what we've

438
00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:42,440
Speaker 2: seen with the young hitters coming up in the last

439
00:19:42,520 --> 00:19:45,080
Speaker 2: few years, where they, you know, just look incredible in

440
00:19:45,119 --> 00:19:47,040
Speaker 2: the minors and then come up and struggle in the majors.

441
00:19:47,119 --> 00:19:50,280
Speaker 2: He looks the part, you know, it's just destroying minor

442
00:19:50,359 --> 00:19:53,879
Speaker 2: league pitching. And I think there's just a case to

443
00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:55,719
Speaker 2: make where a lot of the players on that you

444
00:19:55,760 --> 00:19:57,280
Speaker 2: just mentioned like we kind of like know what they

445
00:19:57,280 --> 00:19:59,600
Speaker 2: are or we can expect the production. Like Christian Walker,

446
00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:02,760
Speaker 2: someone w talk about he's off to a look a

447
00:20:02,800 --> 00:20:06,640
Speaker 2: slow start, and you know, like a Jake Berger also

448
00:20:06,680 --> 00:20:10,879
Speaker 2: off to a slow start, Wilson Cadreres, And then like

449
00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:14,160
Speaker 2: there's hitters like Vinnie Pascentino where it's like we kind

450
00:20:14,160 --> 00:20:16,200
Speaker 2: of like know what he is, Like he's a good hitter,

451
00:20:16,560 --> 00:20:19,360
Speaker 2: Like I don't think there's a massive ceiling there. Nick

452
00:20:19,400 --> 00:20:21,880
Speaker 2: Kurtz might have a massive ceiling, And so there's kind

453
00:20:21,880 --> 00:20:25,119
Speaker 2: of like that mystery box element where you're like, you know,

454
00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:28,640
Speaker 2: I'm all rank him aggressively just for the chance that

455
00:20:28,840 --> 00:20:30,080
Speaker 2: you know, he kind of breaks out and you get

456
00:20:30,080 --> 00:20:33,040
Speaker 2: this huge power potential because like if he looks half

457
00:20:33,080 --> 00:20:34,720
Speaker 2: as good as he in the majors as he does

458
00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:37,040
Speaker 2: in the miners, like we're talking about a league winner here,

459
00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:40,160
Speaker 2: and so yeah, I think you have to be aggressive

460
00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:42,720
Speaker 2: on him just for you know, just for the chance.

461
00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:45,760
Speaker 3: So what about some of the names that are further

462
00:20:45,840 --> 00:20:47,600
Speaker 3: down the list that I didn't get to because they're

463
00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:50,119
Speaker 3: still ranked probably a bit too low, but who are

464
00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:52,440
Speaker 3: off to strong starts, not the guys that we expected

465
00:20:52,440 --> 00:20:54,000
Speaker 3: to be good and who off to slow starts. With

466
00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:56,320
Speaker 3: the reverse because guys who are ranked a lot lower

467
00:20:56,400 --> 00:21:01,320
Speaker 3: but who are playing well. Tyler Soderstrom Spencer Torkle, Michael Bush,

468
00:21:01,359 --> 00:21:04,720
Speaker 3: Ben Rice. Where does he fade in amongst those guys?

469
00:21:04,720 --> 00:21:07,560
Speaker 3: Would you rather make the upside swing with Kurtz or

470
00:21:07,880 --> 00:21:09,960
Speaker 3: would you rather just bump some of those guys way

471
00:21:10,040 --> 00:21:13,040
Speaker 3: up who have had early steps of a possible breakout

472
00:21:13,080 --> 00:21:13,440
Speaker 3: this year?

473
00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:16,159
Speaker 2: So Soderstrom is the name that jumps out that I

474
00:21:16,200 --> 00:21:20,320
Speaker 2: already bumped into him up to my top ten. So yeah, Soderstrom,

475
00:21:20,359 --> 00:21:23,600
Speaker 2: I think like I I in some ways based on

476
00:21:23,640 --> 00:21:26,280
Speaker 2: the hot start, like we're hoping Nick Kurtz comes up

477
00:21:26,280 --> 00:21:27,800
Speaker 2: and looks like Tyler Soderstrum.

478
00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:31,639
Speaker 3: So oh if he plays like Soderstrom, it's an A

479
00:21:31,800 --> 00:21:33,360
Speaker 3: plus Grand Slam, Like that's a win.

480
00:21:33,640 --> 00:21:37,439
Speaker 2: Yeah. So in that case, like I don't want the

481
00:21:37,480 --> 00:21:41,240
Speaker 2: mystery box, I want the boat, you know, Like yeah,

482
00:21:42,160 --> 00:21:46,359
Speaker 2: So Sodastrim is probably the line there. Like Ben Rice,

483
00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:48,400
Speaker 2: I you know, he's been a fun story. He plays

484
00:21:48,400 --> 00:21:50,480
Speaker 2: in a great ballpark. I just hope that he continues

485
00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:52,240
Speaker 2: to play every day. You know, you never know with

486
00:21:52,680 --> 00:21:55,240
Speaker 2: who's coming back to that Yankees lineup. They already have

487
00:21:55,280 --> 00:21:59,000
Speaker 2: gold Schmid in for his base, so I worry about

488
00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:01,760
Speaker 2: him losing playing times again lefties, But you know, he's

489
00:22:01,760 --> 00:22:03,600
Speaker 2: someone I picked up you know, we mentioned earlier in

490
00:22:03,680 --> 00:22:06,719
Speaker 2: the ESPN Fantasy League for Fantay Spurs that you and

491
00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:08,199
Speaker 2: I are in. I picked him up there. He's my

492
00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:11,880
Speaker 2: util for now, so happy with his production. But yeah,

493
00:22:11,880 --> 00:22:17,000
Speaker 2: there's a certain appeal of Nick Kurtz that you know,

494
00:22:18,680 --> 00:22:20,479
Speaker 2: I think I'd rather have Kurts than some of them.

495
00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:27,840
Speaker 3: What were the other namess, Turklesen, Rice, Michael Bush good

496
00:22:27,840 --> 00:22:28,640
Speaker 3: game a couple of days ago.

497
00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:30,080
Speaker 4: I think Soderstrom is the best of that group.

498
00:22:30,119 --> 00:22:33,080
Speaker 2: Like, yeah, I think it would be, and then I'd

499
00:22:33,080 --> 00:22:35,240
Speaker 2: probably rather have Kurts than those other guys.

500
00:22:36,040 --> 00:22:37,679
Speaker 3: The other thing about Kurtz, by the way, he is

501
00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:40,800
Speaker 3: an excellent I mean in the minors, so we'll see

502
00:22:40,800 --> 00:22:43,080
Speaker 3: how it develops. But like his reputation, is an excellent

503
00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:46,800
Speaker 3: defensive first baseman. So once he is up, you would expect,

504
00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:49,080
Speaker 3: like even if his bat is taking some time to adjust,

505
00:22:49,119 --> 00:22:51,600
Speaker 3: which we have seen in recent years, that the glove

506
00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:52,960
Speaker 3: will keep him in the line up every day.

507
00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:56,560
Speaker 2: Last part, Sorry, speaking that before we move on talking

508
00:22:56,600 --> 00:22:58,840
Speaker 2: about Tyler Soderstrom. There have been some whispers that he

509
00:22:58,880 --> 00:23:01,480
Speaker 2: could play some third base, which would be really good

510
00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:03,560
Speaker 2: for fantasy. If he got third base eligibility.

511
00:23:04,240 --> 00:23:06,520
Speaker 3: I would be really annoying myself for not picking him

512
00:23:06,600 --> 00:23:09,159
Speaker 3: up in more leagues if he becomes third base eligible,

513
00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:11,040
Speaker 3: because that third base is a black hole for me

514
00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:14,199
Speaker 3: on every roster I have in Fantasy this year, I

515
00:23:14,240 --> 00:23:16,320
Speaker 3: did not like go heavy. Well, I've Bregmant in a

516
00:23:16,359 --> 00:23:18,440
Speaker 3: couple of places, which is fine, but like outside of

517
00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:19,840
Speaker 3: the leagues where I have Bregmant, I do not.

518
00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:21,400
Speaker 4: Have a good third baseman anywhere.

519
00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:24,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, all right, so there are last topic here in

520
00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:28,360
Speaker 3: rounding the bases was going to be a different topic,

521
00:23:28,440 --> 00:23:31,080
Speaker 3: and then you kind of backed out at the last second.

522
00:23:31,119 --> 00:23:33,240
Speaker 3: He said, you got a little too busy, and so

523
00:23:33,480 --> 00:23:36,720
Speaker 3: you changed it up. We're gonna look at some transactions

524
00:23:36,720 --> 00:23:40,360
Speaker 3: from some of our SYNCD league data on Fantasy Pro.

525
00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:42,800
Speaker 3: So these are teams that have sec third leagues through

526
00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:45,960
Speaker 3: my playbook on Fantasy Pros, and we can get information

527
00:23:46,119 --> 00:23:48,320
Speaker 3: about some of the most added players, some of the

528
00:23:48,320 --> 00:23:52,040
Speaker 3: most dropped players, and some of the most traded players.

529
00:23:52,480 --> 00:23:55,240
Speaker 4: We'll start with the most added. At the top of

530
00:23:55,240 --> 00:23:57,359
Speaker 4: the list. We have Bobby Miller.

531
00:23:58,720 --> 00:24:01,720
Speaker 3: He's number one on the list. I'm looking at some

532
00:24:01,760 --> 00:24:03,040
Speaker 3: of the other pictures here.

533
00:24:02,720 --> 00:24:04,800
Speaker 2: Probably going to be one of the most dropped next week.

534
00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:11,919
Speaker 3: Yeah, Hesea Kintana, Hower, Molly, you know, Merril, Kelly, jakerb

535
00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:13,720
Speaker 3: and some of the pictures on the list before we

536
00:24:13,760 --> 00:24:17,119
Speaker 3: get to the hitters. From the picture standpoint, what do

537
00:24:17,160 --> 00:24:18,240
Speaker 3: you make of those names?

538
00:24:18,800 --> 00:24:20,800
Speaker 2: Well, Bobby Miller was picked up because he was He

539
00:24:20,840 --> 00:24:23,760
Speaker 2: made his debut for the Dodgers, it did not go well,

540
00:24:24,200 --> 00:24:27,040
Speaker 2: and he's probably going back to the miners. You know,

541
00:24:27,080 --> 00:24:30,080
Speaker 2: the Dodgers have a bunch of injuries right now, but

542
00:24:30,119 --> 00:24:32,800
Speaker 2: they also just have a gazillion pitchers and so they're

543
00:24:32,840 --> 00:24:34,879
Speaker 2: not going to have any time for struggles. You know,

544
00:24:35,280 --> 00:24:37,280
Speaker 2: I was really high on Bobby Miller a year or

545
00:24:37,280 --> 00:24:39,240
Speaker 2: two ago, and it just like I don't know what happened,

546
00:24:39,520 --> 00:24:42,639
Speaker 2: but the he's off the rails now. So he was.

547
00:24:42,720 --> 00:24:45,399
Speaker 2: He was picked up. It's like speculative ad you know,

548
00:24:45,600 --> 00:24:47,000
Speaker 2: by a ton of people. I'm sure they're like, hey,

549
00:24:47,040 --> 00:24:49,320
Speaker 2: here's a good young pitcher pitching on the Dodgers, and

550
00:24:49,800 --> 00:24:52,240
Speaker 2: well it didn't go well, so he's going to be

551
00:24:52,240 --> 00:24:55,639
Speaker 2: one of the most dropped. Jose Kintana off to a

552
00:24:55,680 --> 00:24:58,960
Speaker 2: really strong start, not striking out a ton of guys,

553
00:24:59,080 --> 00:25:01,520
Speaker 2: but a really good numb two strong starts. Other than that,

554
00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:03,920
Speaker 2: Tyler Molly is an interesting one. We talked about a

555
00:25:03,920 --> 00:25:05,840
Speaker 2: little bit last week as a picture that we liked.

556
00:25:07,400 --> 00:25:09,560
Speaker 2: There was actually a special on him on MLB Network

557
00:25:09,600 --> 00:25:11,480
Speaker 2: this morning where they're kind of like talking about how

558
00:25:11,480 --> 00:25:14,359
Speaker 2: he doesn't have this elite fastball, but he has an

559
00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:17,160
Speaker 2: elite fastball with rate right now. I would say almost

560
00:25:17,240 --> 00:25:21,000
Speaker 2: an unsustainable fastball with rate right now for a guy

561
00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:22,800
Speaker 2: who doesn't have like an electric fastball. He's just kind

562
00:25:22,800 --> 00:25:24,400
Speaker 2: of doing it with like smoking mirrors. So I don't

563
00:25:24,400 --> 00:25:26,920
Speaker 2: know how sustainable that is, even though he's a pitcher

564
00:25:26,960 --> 00:25:29,640
Speaker 2: that I like and who's pitching really well right now.

565
00:25:31,520 --> 00:25:33,760
Speaker 3: Some of the hitters on the most Added players list,

566
00:25:33,840 --> 00:25:36,720
Speaker 3: a couple of Rays are first and second amongst the hitters,

567
00:25:36,800 --> 00:25:40,720
Speaker 3: Jonathan Ronda and Cameron Meisner. Just keeping it to those

568
00:25:40,760 --> 00:25:43,000
Speaker 3: two for SUO, would you rather have between those two?

569
00:25:43,560 --> 00:25:48,800
Speaker 2: Probably Aronda just for the you know, the profile there.

570
00:25:48,920 --> 00:25:51,440
Speaker 2: The thing that concerns me is about like all Rays

571
00:25:51,560 --> 00:25:53,040
Speaker 2: kind of in that tier in general, is that like

572
00:25:53,119 --> 00:25:55,879
Speaker 2: they have so many of these guys that the second

573
00:25:55,920 --> 00:25:57,520
Speaker 2: one of these guys gets cold, they're just going to

574
00:25:57,600 --> 00:25:59,560
Speaker 2: rotate another guy in and just piece it together. Like

575
00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:02,880
Speaker 2: and you know, I know you like, is his name

576
00:26:02,920 --> 00:26:04,800
Speaker 2: Chandler Simpson? Is that his first name?

577
00:26:05,320 --> 00:26:05,560
Speaker 4: Yes?

578
00:26:05,800 --> 00:26:07,360
Speaker 2: Yeah. Down in the miners, they have like a few

579
00:26:07,400 --> 00:26:09,679
Speaker 2: guys who could just come up at a moment's notice

580
00:26:09,720 --> 00:26:12,040
Speaker 2: and then like these guys are you know gone, So

581
00:26:12,080 --> 00:26:14,320
Speaker 2: they're really kind of just for me, I would think

582
00:26:14,359 --> 00:26:18,280
Speaker 2: streaming options. I know Ronda's kind of been around for

583
00:26:18,280 --> 00:26:20,920
Speaker 2: a while and he's been like when he's in the lineup,

584
00:26:20,920 --> 00:26:22,480
Speaker 2: he doesn't really play against lefties, but when he's in

585
00:26:22,480 --> 00:26:24,320
Speaker 2: the lineup against right he's been in cleanup, which is

586
00:26:24,359 --> 00:26:27,760
Speaker 2: pretty nice. And the numbers are you know, very strong

587
00:26:27,840 --> 00:26:29,920
Speaker 2: to start, like, he's not gonna hit four hundred all year,

588
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:31,120
Speaker 2: but he is right now.

589
00:26:32,600 --> 00:26:35,439
Speaker 3: Looking at the most dropped players list Easton Lucas, who

590
00:26:35,440 --> 00:26:37,920
Speaker 3: I believe we talked about on last week's episode as

591
00:26:37,960 --> 00:26:40,600
Speaker 3: a possible pickup, or at least you talked about him

592
00:26:40,600 --> 00:26:41,560
Speaker 3: as a possible pickup.

593
00:26:42,080 --> 00:26:44,320
Speaker 4: He is now by far the most draft player.

594
00:26:44,520 --> 00:26:50,399
Speaker 3: You're Tanner Hawk obviously is dropped a lot in our

595
00:26:50,800 --> 00:26:53,000
Speaker 3: in our head to head points league that you and

596
00:26:53,040 --> 00:26:56,080
Speaker 3: I are both in the way the scoring works. He

597
00:26:56,160 --> 00:27:00,639
Speaker 3: got negative seventeen points. Oh man start against serious and

598
00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:04,480
Speaker 3: I'm facing him, which was superb for me. That was

599
00:27:04,600 --> 00:27:06,920
Speaker 3: that was a joy to watch. So he's number two

600
00:27:06,960 --> 00:27:12,120
Speaker 3: most dropped. There's really four names that are like, by

601
00:27:12,160 --> 00:27:13,159
Speaker 3: far the most dropped.

602
00:27:13,640 --> 00:27:15,360
Speaker 4: Lucas is number one by a mile, and.

603
00:27:15,320 --> 00:27:18,679
Speaker 3: Then how Matt Shaw is number three, and Taiwan Walker

604
00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:22,240
Speaker 3: is number four. Of those four, do you kind of

605
00:27:22,280 --> 00:27:25,720
Speaker 3: agree with like the order of that and are you

606
00:27:25,800 --> 00:27:27,520
Speaker 3: very willing to drop all four? I mean, obviously Shaw

607
00:27:27,560 --> 00:27:29,399
Speaker 3: is not in the majors anymore, so that's an easy one.

608
00:27:29,520 --> 00:27:32,239
Speaker 3: But for those three pitchers, like you know, are you

609
00:27:32,280 --> 00:27:34,240
Speaker 3: are you very willing to drop those guys too.

610
00:27:34,560 --> 00:27:36,920
Speaker 2: I'm pretty willing to drop them. I wouldn't have Easton

611
00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:39,359
Speaker 2: Lucas as the top to drop because he was pitching

612
00:27:39,400 --> 00:27:41,120
Speaker 2: well before the Star and they have like one bad

613
00:27:41,160 --> 00:27:44,960
Speaker 2: start like Tanner how got obliterated And maybe he's just

614
00:27:45,080 --> 00:27:48,120
Speaker 2: not the most dropped because he wasn't on enough rosters,

615
00:27:48,440 --> 00:27:50,360
Speaker 2: whereas Easton Lucas was like, all right, here's a guy

616
00:27:50,359 --> 00:27:52,080
Speaker 2: pitching pretty well, so now everyone.

617
00:27:51,840 --> 00:27:54,360
Speaker 3: Lucas is a guy like you pick somebody up because

618
00:27:54,359 --> 00:27:56,359
Speaker 3: they're doing well and they have a terrible start, and

619
00:27:56,400 --> 00:27:58,600
Speaker 3: that's like, oh, if I'm going to drop somebody to

620
00:27:58,640 --> 00:28:02,240
Speaker 3: make room for somebody, Like, that's a natural person to drop,

621
00:28:02,280 --> 00:28:03,440
Speaker 3: so I get it with him.

622
00:28:03,520 --> 00:28:08,399
Speaker 2: Yeah, and he's like a streamer Taiwan Walker. I'm a

623
00:28:08,400 --> 00:28:11,159
Speaker 2: little interested that he's the most dropped. It must be

624
00:28:11,200 --> 00:28:12,919
Speaker 2: like a lot of daily leagues, just because he's a

625
00:28:12,920 --> 00:28:14,600
Speaker 2: two star pitcher this week, so you would think he

626
00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:17,040
Speaker 2: would be more on the added side. But he did

627
00:28:17,080 --> 00:28:18,920
Speaker 2: just have a bad start, which is probably why he's

628
00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:20,080
Speaker 2: now on the drop list.

629
00:28:20,560 --> 00:28:23,560
Speaker 3: Obviously, Justin Steele dropped as well, out for the season,

630
00:28:23,720 --> 00:28:26,400
Speaker 3: so sad one. He's a fan of Fantasy pros. We're

631
00:28:26,400 --> 00:28:29,520
Speaker 3: a fan of his, so that's when we are sad

632
00:28:29,560 --> 00:28:32,640
Speaker 3: to see get dropped. Yeah, some of the other names

633
00:28:32,680 --> 00:28:37,640
Speaker 3: like Jeffrey Springs, Zach Thine, Victor Scott, Spencer Steer, anybody

634
00:28:37,680 --> 00:28:40,160
Speaker 3: stand out to you. Jackson Holliday is getting dropped a lot.

635
00:28:40,200 --> 00:28:43,680
Speaker 3: He just hit a Grand Slam yesterday, so maybe too

636
00:28:43,800 --> 00:28:46,800
Speaker 3: left center, I think, Yeah, it was like like I

637
00:28:46,840 --> 00:28:48,400
Speaker 3: would call it more just like up the middle. It

638
00:28:48,680 --> 00:28:50,680
Speaker 3: was technically oppo as opposed to a poll, but it

639
00:28:50,720 --> 00:28:51,960
Speaker 3: wasn't like to left field.

640
00:28:52,040 --> 00:28:53,880
Speaker 4: It was like definitely just left of center.

641
00:28:54,120 --> 00:28:56,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think Jeffrey Springs is an interesting one because

642
00:28:56,400 --> 00:28:58,240
Speaker 2: he's a picture that I really liked coming into the year,

643
00:28:59,160 --> 00:29:00,880
Speaker 2: gotten off to kind of a shaky start. But I

644
00:29:00,880 --> 00:29:03,680
Speaker 2: think the tiebreaker there in terms of like, you know,

645
00:29:03,920 --> 00:29:06,080
Speaker 2: keeping him and holding onto him is that ballpark. Because

646
00:29:06,120 --> 00:29:09,560
Speaker 2: that ballpark is just home run Central right now. So

647
00:29:10,520 --> 00:29:12,440
Speaker 2: I kind of don't want a guy who's gotten off

648
00:29:12,440 --> 00:29:13,800
Speaker 2: to a slow start and he's just going to be

649
00:29:13,800 --> 00:29:16,480
Speaker 2: in that ballpark all season, and like it's not even

650
00:29:16,920 --> 00:29:19,040
Speaker 2: we're not about at April yet, Like if that's what's happening

651
00:29:19,040 --> 00:29:21,040
Speaker 2: in April, like what's going to happen in July in

652
00:29:21,080 --> 00:29:25,160
Speaker 2: that in that ballpark? So yeah, I kind of I

653
00:29:25,200 --> 00:29:27,800
Speaker 2: can see. I would probably try to like hold in

654
00:29:27,840 --> 00:29:29,720
Speaker 2: trade Jeffrey Springs, but I get it. If you can't,

655
00:29:29,760 --> 00:29:31,400
Speaker 2: you just have to drop him.

656
00:29:31,800 --> 00:29:34,480
Speaker 4: Number one most traded players. Marcus Simeon, what do you

657
00:29:34,480 --> 00:29:35,000
Speaker 4: think about that?

658
00:29:36,280 --> 00:29:38,800
Speaker 2: I get it, you know, another player of the slow start.

659
00:29:39,120 --> 00:29:41,720
Speaker 2: It's it's possible, like is this it is this the end?

660
00:29:43,240 --> 00:29:45,360
Speaker 2: I get it? Like that. You know there's you like

661
00:29:45,440 --> 00:29:47,920
Speaker 2: the power speed potential, although the speed nevers have been

662
00:29:47,920 --> 00:29:51,920
Speaker 2: down recently, you know, recent years, but there are signs,

663
00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:53,600
Speaker 2: you know, he's kind of like never had like the

664
00:29:53,640 --> 00:29:55,880
Speaker 2: best batted ball data. But he's you know, he's been

665
00:29:55,920 --> 00:29:58,680
Speaker 2: really good the last several years, but it just seemed

666
00:29:58,720 --> 00:30:00,920
Speaker 2: like the last couple of years maybe it wasn't a

667
00:30:00,920 --> 00:30:04,080
Speaker 2: down year, like maybe it's just like, you know, he's

668
00:30:04,120 --> 00:30:07,320
Speaker 2: not a young player and it's not not going in

669
00:30:07,360 --> 00:30:08,200
Speaker 2: the right direction here.

670
00:30:09,320 --> 00:30:11,720
Speaker 3: Other names are the most traded list. Christian Walker We're

671
00:30:11,720 --> 00:30:13,280
Speaker 3: going to talk about a little bit more in our

672
00:30:13,320 --> 00:30:16,600
Speaker 3: next video. Kien Parris. That makes sense. The guy kind

673
00:30:16,600 --> 00:30:18,800
Speaker 3: of comes out of nowhere and is playing amazingly well.

674
00:30:18,840 --> 00:30:21,920
Speaker 3: Those guys are often good trade candidates. Corman Burns, who

675
00:30:21,920 --> 00:30:26,360
Speaker 3: talked about already Gunner Henderson. I get actually just how

676
00:30:26,440 --> 00:30:28,280
Speaker 3: so low his start has been. But you know, people

677
00:30:28,280 --> 00:30:31,600
Speaker 3: are gonna want to buy into the stud Chris Sale

678
00:30:32,760 --> 00:30:35,560
Speaker 3: Casey my is coming off his first not great start

679
00:30:35,560 --> 00:30:39,680
Speaker 3: here of the season, has been traded a lot. Boba

680
00:30:39,760 --> 00:30:43,320
Speaker 3: Schett somebody that I really liked investing in in draft season.

681
00:30:43,720 --> 00:30:46,880
Speaker 3: You get further down the list, you know, Rookie Sasaki

682
00:30:46,960 --> 00:30:50,360
Speaker 3: an interesting one. Jacob Wilson an interesting one. Raphael Devers

683
00:30:50,360 --> 00:30:52,920
Speaker 3: who stands out to you amongst kind of anybody really

684
00:30:52,920 --> 00:30:53,840
Speaker 3: on the list.

685
00:30:55,280 --> 00:30:58,240
Speaker 2: Sales an interesting one. You know, he probably a lot

686
00:30:58,280 --> 00:31:01,520
Speaker 2: of these trade conversations started, you know, a starter or

687
00:31:01,520 --> 00:31:03,480
Speaker 2: two ago when he was like still like kind of

688
00:31:03,520 --> 00:31:05,160
Speaker 2: like not looking great and people were seeing it if

689
00:31:05,200 --> 00:31:08,880
Speaker 2: they good buy low, which I gets he's someone like

690
00:31:08,960 --> 00:31:11,480
Speaker 2: if I had I would be open to trading, but

691
00:31:11,560 --> 00:31:13,520
Speaker 2: I'm also like, you know, I'm always willing to buy

692
00:31:13,560 --> 00:31:15,520
Speaker 2: low if you're trying to like sell below market value,

693
00:31:15,640 --> 00:31:17,000
Speaker 2: and I'll take a swing, and you know, see if

694
00:31:17,040 --> 00:31:18,560
Speaker 2: he turns it around. And so far it seems like

695
00:31:18,560 --> 00:31:23,160
Speaker 2: he's going to Boba Shitt I think is an interesting one,

696
00:31:23,360 --> 00:31:26,200
Speaker 2: just because like it seemed like heading into the season,

697
00:31:26,280 --> 00:31:27,920
Speaker 2: he was like the hot name in the industry that

698
00:31:27,960 --> 00:31:29,800
Speaker 2: everyone's at all like he's gonna have a bounce back year,

699
00:31:29,840 --> 00:31:32,760
Speaker 2: he's gonna be great, and he has gotten off to

700
00:31:32,760 --> 00:31:35,400
Speaker 2: a pretty good start. But I do wonder like he's

701
00:31:35,400 --> 00:31:37,680
Speaker 2: probably it doesn't think he's gonna run anymore. And so

702
00:31:37,720 --> 00:31:39,680
Speaker 2: I wonder how many of these fantasy managers are kind

703
00:31:39,680 --> 00:31:42,479
Speaker 2: of like, can I cash in on this hot start, like,

704
00:31:42,720 --> 00:31:45,400
Speaker 2: you know, for this player who might be like dare

705
00:31:45,400 --> 00:31:47,320
Speaker 2: I say a little overrated at at the moment, Even

706
00:31:47,320 --> 00:31:49,400
Speaker 2: though I like Boba Shitt but it's like it's like, yeah,

707
00:31:49,440 --> 00:31:51,000
Speaker 2: he's bad in like three or five, but he also

708
00:31:51,040 --> 00:31:53,000
Speaker 2: has no horme runs and those deals, so it's kind

709
00:31:53,000 --> 00:31:55,320
Speaker 2: of like an empty three or five from a fantasy perspective,

710
00:31:56,640 --> 00:31:59,200
Speaker 2: So I could see that being like a sell high situation.

711
00:32:00,920 --> 00:32:03,440
Speaker 3: One player that I was actually surprised isn't on the

712
00:32:03,480 --> 00:32:05,800
Speaker 3: list and we'll wrap up after this was Jung Hu

713
00:32:05,880 --> 00:32:09,400
Speaker 3: Lee of the Giants, who has been good. I mean,

714
00:32:09,400 --> 00:32:11,440
Speaker 3: he's got three home runs and three som bases. His

715
00:32:11,560 --> 00:32:14,440
Speaker 3: ops is over one thousand, he's hitting three thirty eight,

716
00:32:14,440 --> 00:32:18,400
Speaker 3: he's got ten doubles on the season, just twelve strikeouts

717
00:32:18,400 --> 00:32:21,520
Speaker 3: through seventeen games. I mean, he's not a player that

718
00:32:21,840 --> 00:32:23,680
Speaker 3: we've never heard of before, but I feel like we

719
00:32:23,920 --> 00:32:28,080
Speaker 3: haven't really talked about him, like really ever on this show,

720
00:32:28,760 --> 00:32:31,480
Speaker 3: but he's been very good. I was kind of thinking

721
00:32:31,560 --> 00:32:33,880
Speaker 3: we might see him on a most traded list and

722
00:32:33,960 --> 00:32:34,440
Speaker 3: we don't.

723
00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:35,800
Speaker 4: Is he somebody that.

724
00:32:35,760 --> 00:32:38,720
Speaker 3: You would be looking to maybe consider selling high on

725
00:32:38,880 --> 00:32:40,960
Speaker 3: or would you buy high if you don't have him.

726
00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:43,680
Speaker 3: Are you a believer in what he's done so far

727
00:32:43,800 --> 00:32:45,960
Speaker 3: this year? Or is he just more of a hold

728
00:32:46,040 --> 00:32:47,320
Speaker 3: and you know, ride the hot streak?

729
00:32:47,320 --> 00:32:49,880
Speaker 2: While you can, Well, it's interesting that you bring it

730
00:32:49,920 --> 00:32:51,800
Speaker 2: up because he's an am. I looked pretty hard at

731
00:32:51,800 --> 00:32:56,240
Speaker 2: this week when writing the Bilo cell high blurbs I

732
00:32:56,240 --> 00:33:01,000
Speaker 2: had to write for the article, and I remember actually

733
00:33:01,040 --> 00:33:05,880
Speaker 2: going from Marcus Simon's page on stackcast to Jung Huli's page,

734
00:33:06,200 --> 00:33:08,360
Speaker 2: and I was shocked with how much red is on

735
00:33:08,440 --> 00:33:12,080
Speaker 2: Jung Huli's page, And so I was like, well, maybe

736
00:33:12,120 --> 00:33:14,440
Speaker 2: he's not the biggest sell high, Like maybe some of

737
00:33:14,480 --> 00:33:19,000
Speaker 2: this is legit. I don't think it's legit looking enough

738
00:33:19,040 --> 00:33:21,880
Speaker 2: that i'd be willing to buy high, but I think

739
00:33:21,920 --> 00:33:26,840
Speaker 2: if you have him, there's some promising underlying very bright

740
00:33:26,920 --> 00:33:30,520
Speaker 2: red data here that seems like some of it's legit.

741
00:33:31,320 --> 00:33:34,040
Speaker 2: We'll see how long it lasts. But it's like, so

742
00:33:34,120 --> 00:33:36,280
Speaker 2: far it doesn't seem like overly fluky. It's like obviously

743
00:33:36,360 --> 00:33:40,280
Speaker 2: still an incredibly small sample size, and if you want

744
00:33:40,320 --> 00:33:43,000
Speaker 2: to like make me a really good offer, I'd probably

745
00:33:43,040 --> 00:33:45,560
Speaker 2: sell high. But just a lot of times when I'm

746
00:33:45,720 --> 00:33:48,920
Speaker 2: looking at the article, I'm looking for a cell high

747
00:33:49,280 --> 00:33:50,920
Speaker 2: for kind of like an obvious reason, whether it's like

748
00:33:50,960 --> 00:33:53,360
Speaker 2: injury concerns or like, I think these numbers are kind

749
00:33:53,360 --> 00:33:56,560
Speaker 2: of fluky whereas him, I didn't. I didn't end up

750
00:33:56,600 --> 00:33:58,520
Speaker 2: picking him as my cell high just because it looked

751
00:33:58,560 --> 00:34:00,720
Speaker 2: like some of the underlying data looked really good.

752
00:34:02,480 --> 00:34:04,120
Speaker 3: We're wrapp things up there, be sure to check out

753

754
00:34:07,000 --> 00:34:10,120
