Now, you always find great articles 13 00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:36,120 Speaker 1: on Fantasy Pros each week covering some of the biggest pickups. 14 00:00:36,120 --> 00:00:39,400 Speaker 1: But today these are my bad boys. This is where 15 00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:41,880 Speaker 1: I'm turning my sites on the Waiver Wire this week. 16 00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:44,280 Speaker 1: The top player to be paying attention to on the 17 00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:48,680 Speaker 1: Waiver Wire is CJ. Abrams if he's still available. Looked 18 00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:53,120 Speaker 1: over at CBS's numbers. Sixty percent ownership on CBS, which 19 00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:55,280 Speaker 1: if you play the translation game on a lot of 20 00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:59,040 Speaker 1: other platforms, that's less ESPN, Yahoo, it's not going to 21 00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:00,840 Speaker 1: be that same number. It's quite a bit less, and 22 00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:04,520 Speaker 1: he has been pretty awesome. Last fourteen days. Abrams has 23 00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:07,679 Speaker 1: eight stolen bases while hitting three point eighty nine. He's 24 00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:11,040 Speaker 1: got a homer and a twelve percent K percentage. That's 25 00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:14,240 Speaker 1: what I get really excited about, is that K percentage 26 00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:17,680 Speaker 1: going down. Twelve runs scored in eleven games. He also 27 00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:22,000 Speaker 1: has hits in it looks like nine of his last 28 00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:24,959 Speaker 1: ten games. He has been the stolen base leader over 29 00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:27,479 Speaker 1: the last two weeks. He's hitting the ball a ton 30 00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:32,720 Speaker 1: harder and he might be a super sneaky quiet fifteen homer, 31 00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:35,200 Speaker 1: twenty five stolen base guy by the end of the year. 32 00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:37,440 Speaker 1: But the main thing we're paying attention to is the 33 00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:39,800 Speaker 1: quality of the contact. He might be moving up in 34 00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:43,000 Speaker 1: the lineup. He scores runs, hits a few homers, and 35 00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:45,720 Speaker 1: is aggressive on the base paths right now. And that 36 00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:48,240 Speaker 1: twelve percent K percentage is what I keep coming back 37 00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:50,000 Speaker 1: to because that has been something that has been holding 38 00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:52,840 Speaker 1: him back. If that's going to lower while having better 39 00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:56,400 Speaker 1: quality of contact, CJ. Abrams in head to head can 40 00:01:56,440 --> 00:01:58,560 Speaker 1: be a game changer, especially in the playoffs, for those 41 00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:01,880 Speaker 1: stolen bases if you're behind it, stolen bases as well. CJ. 42 00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:04,000 Speaker 1: Abrams is going to be someone you're gonna want to 43 00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:06,200 Speaker 1: take a look at. Who else are we looking on 44 00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:07,800 Speaker 1: the wire? Well, this is gonna be another one of 45 00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:10,280 Speaker 1: those big ownership ones, and frankly you had to kind 46 00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:12,200 Speaker 1: of get ahead of it before, but I know there's 47 00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:14,480 Speaker 1: still some people that are looking at it. The ownership 48 00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:16,760 Speaker 1: is probably the highest of anybody on this list because 49 00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:20,080 Speaker 1: he's around seventy five percent on CBS. That means he's 50 00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:23,079 Speaker 1: still available there and probably in a lot of other places. 51 00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:27,120 Speaker 1: I think Christian in Karnasci owned Strand is a twelve 52 00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:30,000 Speaker 1: team option, especially on the corner infield. The Reds have 53 00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:33,200 Speaker 1: said that they're gonna have him playing third base, first base. 54 00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:35,880 Speaker 1: We've already seen him DH. We could throw out the 55 00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:38,079 Speaker 1: potential maybe of outfield, but either way, what we're doing 56 00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:40,800 Speaker 1: is we're looking for actual playing time from Strand. So 57 00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:42,560 Speaker 1: far this season in the miners, he had hit three 58 00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:44,959 Speaker 1: thirty one with twenty homers, a couple of stolen bases, 59 00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:48,360 Speaker 1: and a four hundred OBP. He's already gotten a couple 60 00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:52,400 Speaker 1: of bats and guess what first hit knocked it. Hitting 61 00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:54,880 Speaker 1: three thirty three in the early onset isn't anything to 62 00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:58,400 Speaker 1: be freaking out about. But he's getting playing time. They've 63 00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:02,120 Speaker 1: moved theoretically Spencer's not into hopefully a platoon role, but 64 00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:04,320 Speaker 1: they're moving him to playing more outfield because they want 65 00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:06,760 Speaker 1: to give him time third base and first base, getting 66 00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:09,919 Speaker 1: him in the lineup as much as possible. Maybe there's 67 00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:11,920 Speaker 1: gonna be some righty sits here, but the more that 68 00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:13,920 Speaker 1: he hits, the more that he plays. He hits the 69 00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:17,239 Speaker 1: ball really hard in a hitter friendly environment. Christian and 70 00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:20,920 Speaker 1: karnassion Strand, though there's a part of me that feels 71 00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:23,360 Speaker 1: like all these reds can't be amazing, and maybe this 72 00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:25,400 Speaker 1: is the guy to bet against. I just think in 73 00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:27,079 Speaker 1: the landscape of where we are with a lot of 74 00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:29,560 Speaker 1: these corner infielders, if you're looking for big pop, Christian 75 00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:32,440 Speaker 1: in karnassion Strand or Cees would be someone I'm taking 76 00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:34,800 Speaker 1: a look at. If he is floating out on the 77 00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:36,400 Speaker 1: wire for you, if he didn't already pick him up 78 00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:39,320 Speaker 1: coming in at number three, then however you want to 79 00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:41,160 Speaker 1: space these out here. This is actually one of my 80 00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:46,160 Speaker 1: favorites twins. Alex Kiroloff Alex Kiloff. Since July fourth, batting 81 00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:49,360 Speaker 1: three forty five, He's got ten hits, two homers, ten 82 00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:53,960 Speaker 1: RBIs scored five runs over an eight games span. He 83 00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:57,960 Speaker 1: has also hit in six of his last eight games. 84 00:03:58,200 --> 00:03:59,920 Speaker 1: This is something we have been waiting for. This to 85 00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:02,640 Speaker 1: push those two homers, this is big. It's very important 86 00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:04,760 Speaker 1: for him to make that turnaround. Over the last four games, 87 00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:07,840 Speaker 1: Kierlof has actually only struck out three total times, and 88 00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:09,120 Speaker 1: if you want to move it back to his last 89 00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:13,520 Speaker 1: six games, he's still only struck out three total times 90 00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:16,479 Speaker 1: over the last three sixteenth, seventeen to eighteenth of July, 91 00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:19,400 Speaker 1: all multi hit games. He's making better quality of contact 92 00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:21,640 Speaker 1: while some of the other guys are struggling. He is 93 00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:24,560 Speaker 1: a smart, smart hitter. Dad's a hitting coach. I say 94 00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:26,240 Speaker 1: that all the time, but this is one of those 95 00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:28,200 Speaker 1: guys you want to believe in and he's starting to 96 00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:32,279 Speaker 1: turn it around. His ownership is really low twenty eight 97 00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:34,880 Speaker 1: percent over on CBS's platform. Kind of what I'm using 98 00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:36,719 Speaker 1: for this for you guys to know, so he is 99 00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:39,960 Speaker 1: readily available out there, and with this pickup is someone 100 00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:41,600 Speaker 1: I would be looking at getting in my lineup. If 101 00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:44,160 Speaker 1: you've got some dead weight. Now I've already kind of 102 00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:46,320 Speaker 1: made the case for some players you're looking for if 103 00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:49,679 Speaker 1: you're trying to build your power. This guy strikes out 104 00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:52,640 Speaker 1: a decent amount, but he is still someone I'm looking 105 00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:55,320 Speaker 1: at because things have started to heat up. Who am 106 00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:58,920 Speaker 1: I talking about? I'm talking about Jake Berger. Jake Berger 107 00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:02,760 Speaker 1: over the last t two weeks a fifty seven percent 108 00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:05,280 Speaker 1: hard hit percentage, one of the best in baseball, and 109 00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:08,960 Speaker 1: has the sixth hardest hit ball in baseball over that 110 00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:11,960 Speaker 1: time at one hundred and thirteen miles an hour. Not 111 00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:15,720 Speaker 1: too shabby. Also, with Berger since July fourth, he's that 112 00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:18,080 Speaker 1: kind of two week marker, hitting two sixty five with 113 00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:23,120 Speaker 1: three homers, nine RBI, six runs, and he's got hits 114 00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:26,320 Speaker 1: in four of his last five games, including two homers 115 00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:29,880 Speaker 1: over his last three games. Now, obviously like those strikeouts 116 00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:32,200 Speaker 1: are something that can minimalize him in general, but he 117 00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:34,599 Speaker 1: only has two strikeouts over his last four games. This 118 00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:37,679 Speaker 1: team might be looking to unload some more players, which 119 00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:40,159 Speaker 1: if they do, could give the opportunity for Burger to 120 00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:42,320 Speaker 1: move more in the lineup. But we've also heard Berger 121 00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:44,479 Speaker 1: in some potential other trade rumors. If he were to 122 00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:46,240 Speaker 1: go in a better hitting environment. He's one of the 123 00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:48,600 Speaker 1: biggest hard hit guys in the league right now. As 124 00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:50,760 Speaker 1: I just laid out by the fifty seven percent last 125 00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:52,520 Speaker 1: two week hard hit percentage, I think we've got a 126 00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:55,080 Speaker 1: decent shot at thirty plus homers on Jake Berger this year, 127 00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:57,000 Speaker 1: whether it's with the White Sox or another team. And 128 00:05:57,040 --> 00:05:59,240 Speaker 1: he's under fifty percent owned in a lot of leagues. 129 00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:01,480 Speaker 1: So again, a lot of corner infield stuff. If you're 130 00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:06,160 Speaker 1: looking for speed, a't cj Abrams, if you're looking for power, Strand, 131 00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:09,800 Speaker 1: kiroll Off and Burger, different forms of all of this, 132 00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:11,839 Speaker 1: but all guys that you can start looking at to 133 00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:14,040 Speaker 1: fill out your roster.

So 155 00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:18,520 Speaker 1: rare where the next era is yours? All right? So 156 00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:20,600 Speaker 1: we're not done with the waivers, because how about some 157 00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:23,280 Speaker 1: pitchers I did not talk about them? Well, how about 158 00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:27,200 Speaker 1: now talk about Grayson Rodriguez again. This is another one 159 00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:28,920 Speaker 1: of those players you probably wanted to take a look at. 160 00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:31,720 Speaker 1: He has tied for that ownership seventy five percent over 161 00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:34,800 Speaker 1: on the CBS, maybe less than some other spots and 162 00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:38,120 Speaker 1: also maybe a little bit less after his most recent 163 00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:40,600 Speaker 1: outing because if he didn't watch the whole thing. You 164 00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:43,600 Speaker 1: might have been a little disturbed by those runs happening again. 165 00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:45,560 Speaker 1: He kind of fell apart in the fifth inning, but 166 00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:47,560 Speaker 1: we saw some big changes when he went down to 167 00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:50,080 Speaker 1: the miners. He got rid of that cutter. He threw 168 00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:52,760 Speaker 1: one cutter in his start backup in the Majors, and 169 00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:55,160 Speaker 1: that helped his command quite a bit. We also saw 170 00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:57,840 Speaker 1: Grayson top one hundred and one miles per hour on 171 00:07:57,920 --> 00:08:00,840 Speaker 1: the fastball. That was a full mile pro uptick on 172 00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:03,760 Speaker 1: his fastball, and we saw a two mile an hour 173 00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:07,280 Speaker 1: bump on his slider this game. His slider had a 174 00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:10,400 Speaker 1: fifty percent WITHFF rate. Most recent one he pitched, which 175 00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:12,920 Speaker 1: was great fastball wasn't as effective, but it was a 176 00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:15,720 Speaker 1: setup pitch. So we see v low up, we see 177 00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:18,560 Speaker 1: better command. The problem ultimately is going to be how 178 00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:21,120 Speaker 1: far he can go into games, but hopefully this team 179 00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:25,600 Speaker 1: can manage him into five. Grayson Rodriguez has huge strikeout potential, 180 00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:27,920 Speaker 1: and if he can go deeper into games, not just wins, 181 00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:30,520 Speaker 1: but quality starts would also be on the table. Grayson 182 00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:33,280 Speaker 1: Rodriguez is somebody. If he is sitting on the wire, 183 00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:35,160 Speaker 1: we need to be jumping in on because we are 184 00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:37,560 Speaker 1: still waiting for what that next batch of those rookie 185 00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:40,360 Speaker 1: pitchers are ultimately going to look like. How about another 186 00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:45,959 Speaker 1: pitcher with low ownership, we're talking twenty percent over on CBS, 187 00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:49,480 Speaker 1: Cutter Crawford. Cutter Crawford has actually been pretty sneaky. Three 188 00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:52,920 Speaker 1: seven ERA on the season, an eight point nine K 189 00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:56,440 Speaker 1: per nine. He set around the twenty four percentile range 190 00:08:56,520 --> 00:09:00,120 Speaker 1: K percentage range. Over the last thirty days, he has 191 00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:02,120 Speaker 1: been pretty good. Now, Zra was a little bit more 192 00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:05,680 Speaker 1: inflated over those thirty day markers, but regardless of that 193 00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:09,080 Speaker 1: ERA at three seven four, he has a better expected 194 00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:13,600 Speaker 1: ERA at three five six. The average ev against is 195 00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:16,800 Speaker 1: the lowest of his career, getting quite low. Launch angle 196 00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:18,840 Speaker 1: is lower than it is last year, and we're seeing 197 00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:22,040 Speaker 1: him more effective. Another stabilizer for the ERA a three 198 00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:24,880 Speaker 1: eight four sier era, which we like to see and 199 00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:28,559 Speaker 1: a twelve point eight swinging strike percentage which is not phenomenal, 200 00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:31,680 Speaker 1: but it is a full percent and a half higher 201 00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:34,920 Speaker 1: than it was last year. Cut Of Crawford might be 202 00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:37,360 Speaker 1: more streamy at the end of the day, He might 203 00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:38,880 Speaker 1: be someone that you want to look at as a 204 00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:41,600 Speaker 1: streaming option instead of just throwing him out in any 205 00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:45,240 Speaker 1: matchup whatsoever. But his last start against Chicago Cubs, he 206 00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:48,480 Speaker 1: struck out nine, going six, giving up only one hit, 207 00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:51,800 Speaker 1: and over his last three he hasn't given up more 208 00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:53,480 Speaker 1: than three earned runs. It's really going to be about 209 00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:55,680 Speaker 1: how deep he goes into games, but I will note 210 00:09:55,800 --> 00:09:58,120 Speaker 1: he has gone at least five and two thirds in 211 00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:01,280 Speaker 1: three of his last four games and picked up two wins. 212 00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:03,880 Speaker 1: So Cutter Crawford might be a nice streaming option if 213 00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:05,880 Speaker 1: you can go pick him up in the right spots. 214 00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:08,280 Speaker 1: You also can take a look at some bigger splits 215 00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:10,640 Speaker 1: at home. It's been a little bit dirtier at five six, 216 00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:14,080 Speaker 1: but a two four eight ERA on the road, So 217 00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:18,360 Speaker 1: if you see a decent offensive matchup against on the road, 218 00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:21,440 Speaker 1: Cutter Crawford might be a must start. The final pitcher 219 00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:23,000 Speaker 1: I'm gonna talk to you about on the waiver wire 220 00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:25,719 Speaker 1: is Reese Olsen with the Detroit Tigers. This team in 221 00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:28,439 Speaker 1: general is a little bit dicey, but Reese Olsen has 222 00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:30,079 Speaker 1: a nine to three to one k P nine on 223 00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:32,840 Speaker 1: the year with a sub two walk percentage. But he's 224 00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:35,720 Speaker 1: only got one win one win in thirty eight innings pitched. 225 00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:38,800 Speaker 1: That's kept him down it's a sub four ERA with 226 00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:43,120 Speaker 1: a better x FIP at three six zero expected era 227 00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:45,600 Speaker 1: is about where the ERA is at right now, so 228 00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:47,240 Speaker 1: you can kind of expect that to stay in the 229 00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:50,720 Speaker 1: same general range. The twelve swinging strike percentage is also 230 00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:54,040 Speaker 1: again not elite, but we showing the ability for elite 231 00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:56,959 Speaker 1: command in not walking to go with some of those strikeouts. 232 00:10:57,080 --> 00:10:59,839 Speaker 1: This is another one of those guys that we want 233 00:10:59,880 --> 00:11:01,880 Speaker 1: to put a focus on. He actually also has a 234 00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:04,559 Speaker 1: similar road split better than home. It's a three one 235 00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:07,640 Speaker 1: eight ERA on the road four five seven at home, 236 00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:11,400 Speaker 1: So when you're playing teams like the Royals and bad offenses, 237 00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:13,959 Speaker 1: I would want to end up picking him up. He's 238 00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:16,120 Speaker 1: also kind of had a two split year, a four 239 00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:18,760 Speaker 1: to seven era in June but a two to one 240 00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:21,560 Speaker 1: to nine ERA here in July. I would take a 241 00:11:21,559 --> 00:11:24,840 Speaker 1: look at Rie Soulsen. Also low ownership in general that 242 00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:27,080 Speaker 1: you can use as a streaming option. A lot of 243 00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:29,600 Speaker 1: these guys I talk to you about are more streaming 244 00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:31,760 Speaker 1: options in general. That's kind of what the waivers is 245 00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:34,319 Speaker 1: looking like until the trade deadline comes down. So let 246 00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:36,520 Speaker 1: me throw one last thing at you. If you want 247 00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:38,920 Speaker 1: to start speculating on some of these players that are 248 00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:40,839 Speaker 1: going to get traded, there's one thing that we all 249 00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:43,480 Speaker 1: know is gonna happen. We are going to get new values. 250 00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:45,440 Speaker 1: They are going to be players. They're going to end 251 00:11:45,559 --> 00:11:48,720 Speaker 1: up getting playing time because other guys left. One I 252 00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:51,440 Speaker 1: might take a look at is Matt Mrvis. Matt Murvis 253 00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:53,920 Speaker 1: with the cup simply because Cody Bellinger does look like 254 00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:56,840 Speaker 1: he might be a trade option. There's floating his name around. 255 00:11:57,080 --> 00:11:59,160 Speaker 1: Matt Murvis could come back up. He's doing a lot 256 00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:00,960 Speaker 1: of the similar things he was doing at Triple A 257 00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:03,320 Speaker 1: last year. He was doing them again, starting to hit 258 00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:06,520 Speaker 1: for more power again, not having insane strikeout numbers, and 259 00:12:06,559 --> 00:12:09,160 Speaker 1: he's going to get another opportunity. If you missed out 260 00:12:09,160 --> 00:12:11,960 Speaker 1: on Strand, if you missed out on Kirilaf Jake Berger 261 00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:13,720 Speaker 1: is not an option you play in a deeper league. 262 00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:15,280 Speaker 1: You might be able to get ahead of the curve 263 00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:17,880 Speaker 1: and a guy like Matt Mrvis right now who will 264 00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:20,640 Speaker 1: get some more playing time if Cody Bellinger has moved. 265 00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:22,000 Speaker 1: I think there's a lot of other guys we could 266 00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:24,880 Speaker 1: speculate on the Cardinals move. I think Jordan Walker becomes 267 00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:27,560 Speaker 1: exponentially more valuable, but that might be more about a 268 00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:30,400 Speaker 1: trade that you might want to make, and plenty more. 269 00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:32,320 Speaker 1: But we'll be back next week because we're actually going 270 00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:35,439 Speaker 1: to talk about trade options that you're going to want 271 00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:37,400 Speaker 1: to look for for the rest of the season as 272 00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:40,120 Speaker 1: the series kind of winds down. Hopefully you guys have 273 00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:42,640 Speaker 1: enjoyed all of them. From Piezapm myself.
