1
00:00:10,840 --> 00:00:18,520
Speaker 1: This last he's time to say your legs. The girls,

2
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:33,880
Speaker 1: Prizzy sitting here. We will sit in tows the gunner.

3
00:00:36,280 --> 00:00:36,959
Speaker 1: Welcome to.

4
00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:43,880
Speaker 2: Wednesday, July twenty seventh. Welcome to the Just Baseball Show.

5
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:47,680
Speaker 2: It's the mail Bag. I'm Peter Oppel. That's Arm Lighton.

6
00:00:48,080 --> 00:00:50,599
Speaker 2: We're doing a late night record. Honestly, thank you. Arm.

7
00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:54,440
Speaker 2: It's about eleven pm Eastern over there on the West coast.

8
00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:56,720
Speaker 2: You were just at Fenway. You were just checking out

9
00:00:56,720 --> 00:01:00,080
Speaker 2: some prospects before we get into all the questions. Did

10
00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:01,320
Speaker 2: you see today, dude?

11
00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:05,560
Speaker 1: It was dog Day. I'm over in South Carolina and

12
00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:08,480
Speaker 1: it was dog Day for the Charleston River Dogs low A.

13
00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:12,520
Speaker 1: Every Tuesday they have a just just bring your dog

14
00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:13,840
Speaker 1: to the park and then they also do like a

15
00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:17,240
Speaker 1: big you know, pet adoption kind of just call to action.

16
00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:19,600
Speaker 1: There's a bunch of puppies everywhere and it was really

17
00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:22,360
Speaker 1: hard to like leave there and not adopt one. So cool.

18
00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:23,959
Speaker 1: It was just like another reminder. I know they do

19
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:27,040
Speaker 1: it in the big leagues, but the minor league dogs

20
00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:30,400
Speaker 1: everywhere just like running around in the concourse. It was

21
00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:33,480
Speaker 1: super cool. Didn't really see that many exciting prospects. I

22
00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:36,080
Speaker 1: wanted to see Carson Williams. He ended up getting the

23
00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:38,840
Speaker 1: day off anyways, But a lot of dogs, a lot

24
00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:42,000
Speaker 1: of baseball. I enjoyed it. I did miss Yankees Mets,

25
00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:45,280
Speaker 1: but I think you kind of wish you missed that.

26
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:48,000
Speaker 2: Huh, yeah, well you were playing with dogs. I was

27
00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:50,840
Speaker 2: over here just wallowing in my own tiers at all

28
00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:53,720
Speaker 2: the missed opportunities that the Yankees had were recording. Right

29
00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:56,920
Speaker 2: after Game one of the Subway Series between Yankees and

30
00:01:56,960 --> 00:01:59,720
Speaker 2: the Mets, Jordan Montgomery got smashed like I thought he

31
00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:02,160
Speaker 2: would be. And this is why you never parlay. You know,

32
00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:04,360
Speaker 2: I had the over and I had the Yankees. If

33
00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:07,000
Speaker 2: I straight bet them would have came out okay, but

34
00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:10,200
Speaker 2: instead we lost. And that's why you never parlay people.

35
00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:13,320
Speaker 2: But at the end of the day, this is about baseball,

36
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:15,959
Speaker 2: and the Yankees were not playing very good baseball. Talk

37
00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:20,360
Speaker 2: about missed opportunities. The Anthony Rizzo stolen base, the KF

38
00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:25,000
Speaker 2: getting picked off, leaving eighteen runners in scoring position. Not

39
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:27,120
Speaker 2: a good game for the New York Yankees. And I

40
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:29,120
Speaker 2: thought I had a funny tweet. I said, Joey Gallo,

41
00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:30,880
Speaker 2: you got to give credit to him, and that ab

42
00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:33,399
Speaker 2: versus Edwin Diaz. He struck out on five pitches rather

43
00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:35,680
Speaker 2: than three. He at least gave them a battle. And

44
00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:37,720
Speaker 2: did I take his over under on foul balls and

45
00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:39,520
Speaker 2: that a bat at zero point five? Yes, I did

46
00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:40,959
Speaker 2: take it, so at least we got to win there.

47
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:44,320
Speaker 2: That's obviously hypothetical. I mean, what a disaster that was.

48
00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:47,359
Speaker 2: But we move on because we have plenty of questions

49
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:50,320
Speaker 2: in this mailbag, asked on our Instagram and on our

50
00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:54,239
Speaker 2: Twitter Twitter at just bb Media and on our instagram

51
00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:59,120
Speaker 2: at Just Baseball Show. Let's get you straight into it

52
00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:01,560
Speaker 2: unless you have anything you want to talk about beforehand.

53
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:03,440
Speaker 2: There is some news, but I feel like with some

54
00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:05,600
Speaker 2: of the questions we can kind of interject the new

55
00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:06,440
Speaker 2: news of the day.

56
00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:08,320
Speaker 1: Yeah there was, you know, I want to talk about

57
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:10,680
Speaker 1: Drew Jones obviously, but we can get to that when

58
00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:13,399
Speaker 1: we get to the Dbacks question. Obviously, like unfortunate news

59
00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:15,480
Speaker 1: coming out of there, so we'll talk about that there.

60
00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:18,600
Speaker 1: But no, man, I'm excited a lot of really good

61
00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:21,040
Speaker 1: questions we talked about this last time. So not to

62
00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:23,680
Speaker 1: sound like a broken record, but it is pretty awesome

63
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:27,080
Speaker 1: and humbling seeing how many questions come in, because again,

64
00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:28,840
Speaker 1: like you remember how hard were you used to have

65
00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:30,800
Speaker 1: to work for questions? You know, we ut have to

66
00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:34,239
Speaker 1: like repost it, you know, just like almost beg people

67
00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:36,200
Speaker 1: for questions. We'd end up sending it in the staff chat.

68
00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:38,040
Speaker 1: Half of our questions would be from our own staff.

69
00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:40,960
Speaker 1: And now there's so many coming in, Like, if we

70
00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:43,960
Speaker 1: didn't get to your question, please keep asking them. We

71
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:45,520
Speaker 1: will get to them. We try to mix it up.

72
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:48,040
Speaker 1: We have some of the usual suspects that get on here,

73
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:50,440
Speaker 1: but we like to mix it up. It's just so

74
00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:53,440
Speaker 1: cool to see all of the new questions and also

75
00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:57,120
Speaker 1: just so many questions coming in back from when we

76
00:03:57,120 --> 00:03:59,920
Speaker 1: were like basically fabricating our own questions for the original.

77
00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:03,600
Speaker 2: Thank you guys so much for listening again to the

78
00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:05,680
Speaker 2: Just Baseball Show. We're going to keep you covered here

79
00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:08,720
Speaker 2: with all baseball news, especially during the trade deadline, and

80
00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:12,360
Speaker 2: especially on just baseball dot com. We have articles coming

81
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:16,360
Speaker 2: out every single second a trade basically what is it

82
00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:19,839
Speaker 2: a deadline? Needs for every single every team. On Just

83
00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:22,080
Speaker 2: baseball dot com, we're coming out with videos on state

84
00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:23,920
Speaker 2: of the division, trying to give you guys the best

85
00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:27,000
Speaker 2: baseball content. And yes, this was the mail bag where

86
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:29,440
Speaker 2: we got the most questions we've ever been asked. We

87
00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:32,600
Speaker 2: shortened it to eight because there are eight loaded questions

88
00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:35,640
Speaker 2: and hopefully you know there was multiple questions on the

89
00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:39,040
Speaker 2: same team, so hopefully we basically talk about the whole league.

90
00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:42,320
Speaker 2: So let's get straight to it. Arm first question was

91
00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:47,159
Speaker 2: asked on Twitter, and that comes from Henry Hayes at

92
00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:49,600
Speaker 2: Henry Hayes and you can find all of the tags

93
00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:53,200
Speaker 2: in our episode description, so question number one. Every year,

94
00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:56,839
Speaker 2: it seems under the radar deadline acquisition helps a World

95
00:04:56,880 --> 00:04:59,880
Speaker 2: Series team. An example Jorge Solaer for the Braves and

96
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:03,359
Speaker 2: twenty twenty one, Daniel Hudson in twenty nineteen, Nate Valdi

97
00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:06,640
Speaker 2: in twenty eighteen. Who can be the under the radar

98
00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:11,880
Speaker 2: deadline acquisition for a contender? His guests was Jose Cantana.

99
00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:13,800
Speaker 2: I want to throw that over to you first because

100
00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:15,680
Speaker 2: we were talking about this one pre record, because I

101
00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:20,240
Speaker 2: don't think there's one solid answer because we've seen now

102
00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:22,880
Speaker 2: so many teams say all right, you know what, we're

103
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:25,760
Speaker 2: going to be sellers. Notably the Marlins seemed to be

104
00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:29,560
Speaker 2: in that boat. The Tigers came out and said everyone's

105
00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:32,279
Speaker 2: on the market. So there's a lot of answers here.

106
00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:34,279
Speaker 2: Who are some of the guys that you saw first?

107
00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:36,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, so you know, I don't know if he's for

108
00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:38,880
Speaker 1: sure getting traded because he has another year of control,

109
00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:40,520
Speaker 1: but I think it would be smart for the Dbacks

110
00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:43,120
Speaker 1: to trade him. Christian Walker is a guy that if

111
00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:45,560
Speaker 1: he goes to the right environment, and I know he's

112
00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:47,280
Speaker 1: in a good environment now and we're seeing what he's doing,

113
00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:49,440
Speaker 1: but if he kind of stays in a hitter friendly spot,

114
00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:52,440
Speaker 1: I could see this guy just getting crazy hot over

115
00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:54,640
Speaker 1: the second half and really kind of putting a team

116
00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:55,880
Speaker 1: on his back with the way that he can just

117
00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:58,400
Speaker 1: leave the yard. In spurts twenty two homers in ninety

118
00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:00,680
Speaker 1: four games this year. He's striking out the least he's

119
00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:02,600
Speaker 1: ever struck out in his career. He's walking the most

120
00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:05,120
Speaker 1: he's ever walked in his career. And what's crazy is

121
00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:07,360
Speaker 1: he's hitting two zero five Peter. He is a one

122
00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:10,479
Speaker 1: ninety two babbit, So I mean, I know that a

123
00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:12,279
Speaker 1: lot of his hits are a home runs, which you

124
00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:15,719
Speaker 1: know doesn't count towards babbit. So naturally, a guy that

125
00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:19,200
Speaker 1: has a lot of home runs as contributing to a

126
00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:21,480
Speaker 1: portion of their hits they'll have a lower babbit, but

127
00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:24,120
Speaker 1: still Christian Walker is a guy that could continue to hit,

128
00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:26,480
Speaker 1: could continue to get hotter, and I like him as

129
00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:29,359
Speaker 1: an option. And then within Merrifield, he's somebody that's just

130
00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:32,920
Speaker 1: so talented. I know he's getting older, but he's still fast.

131
00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:35,520
Speaker 1: He still I think has a lot of the abilities

132
00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:38,120
Speaker 1: that he has always had, maybe a change of scenery,

133
00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:41,839
Speaker 1: his defensive versatility, his speed, his bat to ball skills.

134
00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:43,800
Speaker 1: This is a guy that could really get hot in

135
00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:45,960
Speaker 1: the right situation, and I think could carry a team.

136
00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:48,400
Speaker 1: And I'm hoping because I like what Merrifield, but he

137
00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:50,880
Speaker 1: seems to just have kind of gone stale in Kansas City.

138
00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:53,280
Speaker 2: I love those two picks, and I'm gonna have two

139
00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:57,040
Speaker 2: guys from the same team, both offensive players, because there's

140
00:06:57,080 --> 00:06:59,159
Speaker 2: a ton of relievers kind of similar to that Daniel

141
00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:02,520
Speaker 2: Hudson over there in Washington that could definitely make an impact.

142
00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:04,480
Speaker 2: But these are two Tigers that I feel like they

143
00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:06,919
Speaker 2: just need a different spot to hit. We look at

144
00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:09,680
Speaker 2: Kamerica Ballpark as one of the biggest ballparks in baseball,

145
00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:11,720
Speaker 2: really tough to hit there, and then when you combine

146
00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:14,720
Speaker 2: that with how dreadful this whole. Tiger's offense has been

147
00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:17,000
Speaker 2: as a whole, nobody can get going, and I feel

148
00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:19,960
Speaker 2: like that's resulting down the lineup. Oh yeah, There's two

149
00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:22,560
Speaker 2: guys that really do like, who are having really down seasons,

150
00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:24,920
Speaker 2: who I feel like teams can get for cheap and

151
00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:28,480
Speaker 2: they're actually really good players. First is Heimerk Candelario. Heimer

152
00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:31,360
Speaker 2: Candelario has always been a good player, especially at third base.

153
00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:34,280
Speaker 2: But the biggest one, the biggest one, and this is

154
00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:35,960
Speaker 2: a guy who I've really liked for a long time.

155
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:38,040
Speaker 2: I've talked him up in fantasy. I feel like he

156
00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:40,280
Speaker 2: has great play discipline and he's always just been a

157
00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:43,480
Speaker 2: solid player in Major League Baseball. That's Robbie Grossman again

158
00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:46,680
Speaker 2: on the Detroit Tigers. He's an outfielder right now. He's

159
00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:48,560
Speaker 2: got a two h five average, he's got a three

160
00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:51,200
Speaker 2: thirteen on base percentage and a two seventy eight sluging.

161
00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:54,360
Speaker 2: But that's key there because last season he was one

162
00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:58,600
Speaker 2: of five players with twenty home runs, twenty stolen bases,

163
00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:01,080
Speaker 2: and a walk right over to ten percent. He's still

164
00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:05,000
Speaker 2: walking over eleven percent this season. It's just he's not

165
00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:07,200
Speaker 2: hitting the ball hard. He hasn't gotten going he's been

166
00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:10,920
Speaker 2: dealing with injuries all season long. Get him out of

167
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:16,120
Speaker 2: Detroit and he, I feel, in the right situation, could

168
00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:20,600
Speaker 2: be a well above average outfielder or a contender, and

169
00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:23,960
Speaker 2: not just a fourth outfielder, but a really good cog

170
00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:27,920
Speaker 2: in a lineup. Just get Robbie Grossman out of Detroit,

171
00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:30,040
Speaker 2: and I feel like he can make a huge impact.

172
00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:31,720
Speaker 2: And we're going to talk about a lot of teams

173
00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:34,120
Speaker 2: that need outfield help. We've been talking about Andrew Bennettendy

174
00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:37,640
Speaker 2: now feels like for forever years, feels like even though

175
00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:40,320
Speaker 2: he's just starting to get hot. But Robbie Grossman, I

176
00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:44,880
Speaker 2: feel could be just as impactful as an Andrew Bennettendee.

177
00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:48,480
Speaker 2: I really do think so. For the all around game.

178
00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:51,720
Speaker 2: Talking home runs, we're talking speed. It's not like him

179
00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:54,480
Speaker 2: defensively is that much worse than Ben Attendee either, And

180
00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:58,199
Speaker 2: the ability to get on base. I really like Robbie Grossman.

181
00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:00,120
Speaker 2: Maybe it's a little bit of a far stretch to

182
00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:02,880
Speaker 2: say more than Benettendee, but Robbie Grossman is going to

183
00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:04,800
Speaker 2: be a hell of a lot cheaper than he.

184
00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:07,960
Speaker 1: Will well, and why can't he be this year's Zeddi Rosario?

185
00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:10,280
Speaker 1: You know, I think if he again gets in the

186
00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:13,800
Speaker 1: right situation and really you know, finds himself in a

187
00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:17,080
Speaker 1: spot where he's reinvigorated, because we know Detroit just kind

188
00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:19,600
Speaker 1: of feels like a graveyard right now with the field

189
00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:22,520
Speaker 1: and also with the lineup, like you mentioned, I would

190
00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:25,160
Speaker 1: love I would be calling on Grossman. I agree if

191
00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:27,920
Speaker 1: I'm a team, if the price is cheap. Obviously, I

192
00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:30,120
Speaker 1: don't imagine that the price will be that expensive, given

193
00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:32,120
Speaker 1: that he's you know, free agent after this year, and

194
00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:34,240
Speaker 1: he's cheap at about you know, five million, So it

195
00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:36,679
Speaker 1: would be whatever's left on that deal. I'm interested to

196
00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:39,040
Speaker 1: see who goes and makes that more lower key deal,

197
00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:41,920
Speaker 1: and it could be maybe the Toronto Blue Jays who

198
00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:44,000
Speaker 1: are looking for a lefty bat. That would be an

199
00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:46,120
Speaker 1: interesting landing spot if they decide to go a little

200
00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:48,560
Speaker 1: bit lower key with an addition, but I like that pick.

201
00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:50,959
Speaker 1: One other guy is Daniel Bard on the pitching side.

202
00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:53,360
Speaker 1: I mean, what he what he's doing as basically the

203
00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:56,600
Speaker 1: closer for the Colorado Rockies, you know, really being able

204
00:09:56,640 --> 00:09:58,880
Speaker 1: to lock games down at altitude. I would love to

205
00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:00,880
Speaker 1: see what Bard could do really good stuff, you know,

206
00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:03,559
Speaker 1: in another environment. But that's a guy that I think

207
00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:07,680
Speaker 1: could be an important piece for a World Series contender

208
00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:09,560
Speaker 1: in the bullpen. And I'm interested to see if anybody

209
00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:10,920
Speaker 1: can prime away from Colorado.

210
00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:13,760
Speaker 2: And one more because this conversation is very fun. Another

211
00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:17,559
Speaker 2: starter when you're talking about Christian Walker. I really think

212
00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:20,480
Speaker 2: that Meryl Kelly could be an impact arm for a team.

213
00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:22,960
Speaker 2: The command looks incredible, a guy who can eat innings,

214
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:25,400
Speaker 2: a guy who's been there before. I like what Meryl

215
00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:27,520
Speaker 2: Kelly has been doing. Meryl Kelly is one of the

216
00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:30,160
Speaker 2: least sexy names on the trade market, but could ends

217
00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:33,840
Speaker 2: up being a great option there for a contender if

218
00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:36,600
Speaker 2: they need a big time starting pitcher. Let's move on

219
00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:39,880
Speaker 2: to question number two, and this one is really based

220
00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:43,320
Speaker 2: around you because it's about your Marlins, and you just

221
00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:46,160
Speaker 2: wrote a great article on Just Baseball dot com. You

222
00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:48,559
Speaker 2: broke down what the Marlins need to do at the

223
00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:50,480
Speaker 2: trade deadline, so make sure to go check that out

224
00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:53,880
Speaker 2: on Just Baseball dot com. But question number two comes

225
00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:57,439
Speaker 2: from Kevin underscore Barrel on Twitter, and this question actually

226
00:10:57,480 --> 00:11:00,480
Speaker 2: got the most likes of twerpost because I think Kevin

227
00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:01,400
Speaker 2: is a big Marlins fan.

228
00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:03,720
Speaker 1: Right, yeah, you're back. He does a great job with

229
00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:07,120
Speaker 1: fist stripes. Kevin does an awesome job, so he's got

230
00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:10,200
Speaker 1: his own little following there and he's been hosting Twitter spaces.

231
00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:12,440
Speaker 1: I know if Marlins fans stuck in the deadline, so

232
00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:14,200
Speaker 1: I know a lot of people are looking at Kevin

233
00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:16,160
Speaker 1: for deadline stuff. So they probably saw the question. They're like,

234
00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:18,880
Speaker 1: they better answer this one. So I'm excited to answer it.

235
00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:23,559
Speaker 2: Shout out, Kevin, which prospects can the Marlins get? Who

236
00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:26,520
Speaker 2: will be major leaguers as soon as they are dealt

237
00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:30,800
Speaker 2: to the Marlins, and which major leaguers can they acquire?

238
00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:34,280
Speaker 2: I also want to open this question up because Pablo Lopez,

239
00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:37,080
Speaker 2: you just wrote an article about him as well, possibly

240
00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:40,959
Speaker 2: where he's going to go. So this is more you know,

241
00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:44,040
Speaker 2: what could they get for Pablo Lopez? What could the

242
00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:47,200
Speaker 2: Marlins get? Could they get big league talent? You know?

243
00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:52,760
Speaker 2: Is it more prospect base? They need need bats and

244
00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:56,000
Speaker 2: emphasize that enough They read them. And I saw the

245
00:11:56,040 --> 00:11:58,080
Speaker 2: tweet today I think it was from Hayman that you know,

246
00:11:58,080 --> 00:12:01,360
Speaker 2: they're listening on everybody except Sandy al Contra. And I've

247
00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:04,880
Speaker 2: also thought to myself, well, they can't be listening on Jazz,

248
00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:08,920
Speaker 2: no no, But why did he say it was just Sandy.

249
00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:11,480
Speaker 2: Of course they aren't listening on Jazz, right, I.

250
00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:14,480
Speaker 1: Would imagine they're not, But like I think they're they're

251
00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:16,960
Speaker 1: they're not going to hang the phone up if that. Like,

252
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:18,719
Speaker 1: if you ask on Sandy, they're gonna be like, no

253
00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:20,640
Speaker 1: if they if you ask on Jazz, are gonna be like,

254
00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:22,600
Speaker 1: what do you got? But I think it's almost gonna

255
00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:24,480
Speaker 1: be one of those things where they're just not not

256
00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:26,679
Speaker 1: keen on it. But Sandy, it's like, don't even waste

257
00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:30,440
Speaker 1: your freaking time. You know, Jazz does struggle to stay healthy,

258
00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:33,559
Speaker 1: but still, I mean, this is one of their only bats.

259
00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:39,719
Speaker 1: Only young control impactful bats. So you know that's the

260
00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:42,000
Speaker 1: thing if you're trading Pablo Lopez, and you'll see in

261
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:44,120
Speaker 1: the piece I'm talking about the only reason I would

262
00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:46,360
Speaker 1: trade Pablo from the Marlins is that he is like

263
00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:49,560
Speaker 1: your most He's your ace in your back pocket, where

264
00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:52,360
Speaker 1: you're like, this is the guy that can get you

265
00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:56,160
Speaker 1: the impactful big league or close to big league prospect talent.

266
00:12:56,400 --> 00:12:59,160
Speaker 1: Then nobody else on your roster is going to be

267
00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:01,480
Speaker 1: able to get you right, like Anthony Bass might get

268
00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:03,600
Speaker 1: you a decent middle level prospect he's not getting you

269
00:13:03,880 --> 00:13:06,880
Speaker 1: a close to big league ready center fielder. But I

270
00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:08,960
Speaker 1: keep looking at the Yankees, man, which is funny enough,

271
00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:11,040
Speaker 1: and I'm not even just saying that because I record

272
00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:13,640
Speaker 1: a podcast with you, like multiple times a week, but

273
00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:16,360
Speaker 1: really it's I look at the Yankees and they have

274
00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:19,319
Speaker 1: multiple guys that I think fit really well. And I

275
00:13:19,480 --> 00:13:23,400
Speaker 1: never thought I would say Estevan Florial, but Florial has

276
00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:26,720
Speaker 1: looked really good this year. He's still relatively young, He's

277
00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:30,440
Speaker 1: a good defender and center. His exavlos are phenomenal. He's putting,

278
00:13:30,559 --> 00:13:33,280
Speaker 1: i would say, putting up the best offensive season we've

279
00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:35,080
Speaker 1: really seen in his minor league career. Unless you want

280
00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:37,440
Speaker 1: to go back to like rookie ball. Something's quick for

281
00:13:37,480 --> 00:13:39,240
Speaker 1: this guy. We've seen a lot of guys start to

282
00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:41,160
Speaker 1: click at the big or through the minor leagues and

283
00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:44,760
Speaker 1: the Yankee system, and I think Florial if the Marlins

284
00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:47,480
Speaker 1: trade for him, he would plug straight into center field.

285
00:13:47,520 --> 00:13:48,920
Speaker 1: I think they could give him a go right away.

286
00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:50,880
Speaker 1: Obviously that's not the only piece you'd want, like an

287
00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:53,199
Speaker 1: Austin Wells or somebody else, and maybe even ever since

288
00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:55,800
Speaker 1: Pereira and maybe the Marlins have to throw in bass

289
00:13:55,840 --> 00:13:58,400
Speaker 1: on top of that, but I think there's a framework

290
00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:00,959
Speaker 1: there that makes a lot of sense. I also would

291
00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:03,240
Speaker 1: love to see the Marlins try to prime Mason Win

292
00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:07,040
Speaker 1: away from the Saint Louis Cardinals. Mason Win's young, but

293
00:14:07,160 --> 00:14:09,240
Speaker 1: already at the Double A level, already holding his own,

294
00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:11,280
Speaker 1: could potentially be in the big leagues by next year.

295
00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:13,560
Speaker 1: They're looking for a short stop that could end up

296
00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:16,959
Speaker 1: being their long term shortstop. I would love to see

297
00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:19,000
Speaker 1: the Marlins try to go get a Mason Win as well.

298
00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:22,640
Speaker 2: Humor Marlins fans for a second, because we need major leaguers.

299
00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:27,360
Speaker 2: I know they're probably hearing Estevan Florial, like everything you're

300
00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:29,800
Speaker 2: saying is correct. He has been one of the guys

301
00:14:29,800 --> 00:14:32,200
Speaker 2: who I've been surprised by the most in the Yankee system,

302
00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:35,360
Speaker 2: and so I always thought he'd be I didn't never

303
00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:37,800
Speaker 2: gave up hope exactly. I thought he'd be around major

304
00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:39,880
Speaker 2: league gavers, that he'd be a big league center fielder

305
00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:42,840
Speaker 2: someday play some defense. But man, he looks like he

306
00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:46,760
Speaker 2: could actually be a really good bat. So I'm just

307
00:14:46,760 --> 00:14:50,040
Speaker 2: thinking about, for example, like what would you do for

308
00:14:50,120 --> 00:14:53,160
Speaker 2: Dylan Carlson a bat like that? I mean, would a

309
00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:57,080
Speaker 2: Pablo Lopez Dylan Carlson swap maybe make some sense or

310
00:14:57,120 --> 00:14:58,840
Speaker 2: do you think that the Cardinals would have to give

311
00:14:58,920 --> 00:15:01,000
Speaker 2: up more than Carlson or where you at on that? Like,

312
00:15:01,040 --> 00:15:03,560
Speaker 2: what are some other because you know, Marlins fans they

313
00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:06,040
Speaker 2: need major league bats to have proved it, you know

314
00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:06,840
Speaker 2: they do.

315
00:15:07,240 --> 00:15:09,320
Speaker 1: Look, if they could do Carlson, I think you got

316
00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:12,280
Speaker 1: to do it. I almost think it's roughly straight up.

317
00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:14,440
Speaker 1: You know, maybe maybe the Cardinals add a little bit more,

318
00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:16,960
Speaker 1: you know, maybe they add a pitching prospect or one

319
00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:19,320
Speaker 1: other guy another one that I was kicking the tires

320
00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:21,680
Speaker 1: on I was seeing Cubs fans talk about wanting to

321
00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:23,960
Speaker 1: add controllable pitching. I think the Cubs are pretty focused

322
00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:27,520
Speaker 1: on competing in twenty three and twenty four. What about

323
00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:31,520
Speaker 1: like a Christopher Morell. Christopher Morell looks really good. He's

324
00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:33,840
Speaker 1: made swing adjustments, and he has been one of the

325
00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:35,920
Speaker 1: best rookies at the big league level this year. I mean,

326
00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:38,120
Speaker 1: we talk about Michael Harris a lot. Michael Harris has

327
00:15:38,160 --> 00:15:40,440
Speaker 1: been nuclear, but Morell is one of the best throwing

328
00:15:40,520 --> 00:15:41,840
Speaker 1: arms they're going to see in the outfield. He's a

329
00:15:41,840 --> 00:15:45,120
Speaker 1: plus defender and center and he's raking. Morell would be

330
00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:47,480
Speaker 1: a guy from the Cubs that if the Marlins could

331
00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:49,240
Speaker 1: somehow pull that deal off. I don't know if the

332
00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:51,400
Speaker 1: Cubs would be willing to part with him. But they

333
00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:53,520
Speaker 1: also have Brendan Davis and Triple who's on the Men

334
00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:55,400
Speaker 1: that's going to be back soon. They've got a lot

335
00:15:55,400 --> 00:15:56,960
Speaker 1: of other guys in the farm system. They have Pete

336
00:15:56,960 --> 00:15:59,080
Speaker 1: crow Armstrong coming up, you know, a lot faster than

337
00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:01,080
Speaker 1: they thought he was. Maybe they're willing to trade a

338
00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:03,000
Speaker 1: Christopher Morrell because they don't have a lot of pitching

339
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:06,040
Speaker 1: in their system that would be a big leaguer now

340
00:16:06,040 --> 00:16:08,120
Speaker 1: that I would love to see them get because I

341
00:16:08,120 --> 00:16:10,320
Speaker 1: think you can feel pretty confident that Morell would be

342
00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:12,040
Speaker 1: able to plug in and give you a lot better

343
00:16:12,040 --> 00:16:14,480
Speaker 1: than what you're getting with years of control and still

344
00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:16,640
Speaker 1: a lot of upside. I would love to see them

345
00:16:16,640 --> 00:16:18,000
Speaker 1: go get somebody like that.

346
00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:21,080
Speaker 2: So the Marlins have not performed very well this year,

347
00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:23,480
Speaker 2: but they're not one of the bottom dwellers. And our

348
00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:28,840
Speaker 2: question number three comes from Jake or Jack excuse me,

349
00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:33,720
Speaker 2: underscore Weber underscore one on Twitter. What should be some

350
00:16:33,880 --> 00:16:37,920
Speaker 2: of the goals for bottom dwelling teams like the Royals,

351
00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:42,200
Speaker 2: like the Tigers like the Reds, and he added the Cubs. Cubs,

352
00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:43,760
Speaker 2: Feds probably don't want to hear their day with the

353
00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:45,440
Speaker 2: bottom dwellers, but at the end of the day, this

354
00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:48,200
Speaker 2: is where they stand. And there's a couple others for

355
00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:51,800
Speaker 2: the second half of the season. And I think that

356
00:16:51,920 --> 00:16:55,600
Speaker 2: question kind of pertains to you know, maybe who how

357
00:16:55,640 --> 00:16:59,760
Speaker 2: do you sell effectively at the trade deadline to make

358
00:16:59,800 --> 00:17:02,360
Speaker 2: it so your fans are like, okay, we have a

359
00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:05,760
Speaker 2: solid direction. For example, like let's start with the Reds here,

360
00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:08,920
Speaker 2: Like the Reds could really make a killing trading away

361
00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:13,639
Speaker 2: Luis Castillo trading away Brandon Drory trading away Tyler Mallley.

362
00:17:13,720 --> 00:17:17,639
Speaker 2: Even in lower term guys like Donovan Solano, guys like that,

363
00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:21,040
Speaker 2: what is your key? Because you know, I don't mean

364
00:17:21,080 --> 00:17:23,760
Speaker 2: to offend you, but you've been in a situation like

365
00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:27,360
Speaker 2: this media tids what has gone wrong and what has

366
00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:31,000
Speaker 2: gone right in these types of scenarios.

367
00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:36,960
Speaker 1: You know, yeah, I think there's a few. God bring

368
00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:39,320
Speaker 1: it back, some bad memories. This is I saw it

369
00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:42,520
Speaker 1: talking baseball. By the way, they posted like the Hayman

370
00:17:42,560 --> 00:17:46,200
Speaker 1: sweet and they're like Marlin's fire sale again. I'm like, no, relax,

371
00:17:46,320 --> 00:17:49,320
Speaker 1: it's not a firesale man. Like, I get it. I

372
00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:51,280
Speaker 1: get it. They've done this a lot of times. We're

373
00:17:51,320 --> 00:17:54,040
Speaker 1: not there yet, you know. I think number one is

374
00:17:54,720 --> 00:17:57,520
Speaker 1: get abs for your prospects and hope that they continue

375
00:17:57,520 --> 00:17:59,439
Speaker 1: to develop. I mean that's number one, right, Like if

376
00:17:59,440 --> 00:18:01,680
Speaker 1: you're the if you're the Reds, or that would be

377
00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:05,120
Speaker 1: innings as well, right, see Nick Lodolo progress, Sea Hunter

378
00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:08,280
Speaker 1: Green progress, and then hopefully see some of your prospects

379
00:18:08,359 --> 00:18:10,560
Speaker 1: get up there and start to hit a little bit more.

380
00:18:10,800 --> 00:18:13,880
Speaker 1: But maximize the return on those guys. Right, you got

381
00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:15,480
Speaker 1: to trade a Brandon Drewy, you got to trade a

382
00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:18,800
Speaker 1: Leuis Castillo. And I think it's really just identifying those

383
00:18:18,840 --> 00:18:21,320
Speaker 1: prospects that you really think. You know, you only get

384
00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:23,399
Speaker 1: one shot to trade Louis Castillo, so you better not

385
00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:25,440
Speaker 1: mess up, right. I mean, the Marlins got one shot

386
00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:27,560
Speaker 1: at trading Miguel Caberre. We talked about it last podcast.

387
00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:29,240
Speaker 1: They messed it up. You know, it is what it is.

388
00:18:29,280 --> 00:18:31,880
Speaker 1: They were two highly regarded prospects. But you get one shot,

389
00:18:31,880 --> 00:18:33,720
Speaker 1: you better not mess it up. So you got to

390
00:18:33,760 --> 00:18:35,960
Speaker 1: sort through all of the different packages you're being offered

391
00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:37,720
Speaker 1: and make sure it's right. But I think when you're

392
00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:39,439
Speaker 1: looking at a team in the second half of the season,

393
00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:43,080
Speaker 1: it's really just can you get experience for your minor

394
00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:44,879
Speaker 1: leaguers and can you help develop them at the big

395
00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:47,320
Speaker 1: league level. That's the biggest win because then it gives

396
00:18:47,320 --> 00:18:49,080
Speaker 1: you an idea of what you're going with next year.

397
00:18:49,280 --> 00:18:51,720
Speaker 1: Like if if MJ. Melendez is raking, if Nick Prado

398
00:18:51,800 --> 00:18:54,639
Speaker 1: is raking, if Vinie Pascentino's raking down the stretch of

399
00:18:54,640 --> 00:18:57,040
Speaker 1: this season here, then maybe they can feel a little

400
00:18:57,080 --> 00:18:59,040
Speaker 1: bit better and going into the offseason and say, hey,

401
00:18:59,080 --> 00:19:01,159
Speaker 1: let's go like sign Pitcher or too. Maybe we can

402
00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:03,640
Speaker 1: actually be Bobby Wood of course included in that, maybe

403
00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:05,840
Speaker 1: we can be a little bit, you know, closer to

404
00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:07,520
Speaker 1: competing this coming year than we thought we would be.

405
00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:09,640
Speaker 1: And I think the Reds it's similar to if Hunter

406
00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:12,600
Speaker 1: Green and Nicolodelo Shove, I think you could feel a

407
00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:15,520
Speaker 1: little bit better about next year even to hold your

408
00:19:15,560 --> 00:19:18,159
Speaker 1: own and be somewhat competitive. So I think that's the

409
00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:19,840
Speaker 1: number one thing you got to be looking at.

410
00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:22,400
Speaker 2: And I think the Royals are a very interesting team too,

411
00:19:22,440 --> 00:19:24,680
Speaker 2: because to your point, they have a lot of prospects

412
00:19:24,880 --> 00:19:27,480
Speaker 2: right there on the rise. You know, the window is

413
00:19:27,560 --> 00:19:30,080
Speaker 2: not quite open, but I think we can see it

414
00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:34,000
Speaker 2: start to creep open. Who are some guys because we

415
00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:37,600
Speaker 2: talked about Whip Merrifield, like we're just going through the roster, Like,

416
00:19:37,640 --> 00:19:39,600
Speaker 2: who are some of the guys that you see that

417
00:19:39,680 --> 00:19:43,080
Speaker 2: they could probably deal and end up getting a return first.

418
00:19:43,119 --> 00:19:45,720
Speaker 2: I mean, we could talk about Andrew Bennattendi because that's clear,

419
00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:48,640
Speaker 2: but a guy like Hunter Dozer as well at over

420
00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:51,640
Speaker 2: a third base could be a big power back for somebody.

421
00:19:51,800 --> 00:19:55,080
Speaker 2: You know, some of their relievers like Barlow Stamont, guys

422
00:19:55,200 --> 00:19:58,040
Speaker 2: like that, you can get decent size returns from them.

423
00:19:58,320 --> 00:20:00,760
Speaker 2: Really boost up that pharmacist and say, you know what,

424
00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:04,680
Speaker 2: we're rebuilding team right now. And that's okay because remember

425
00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:08,840
Speaker 2: in twenty fifteen when those same Royals did the job,

426
00:20:09,359 --> 00:20:11,600
Speaker 2: Am I am? I being stupid? Was a twenty fifteen

427
00:20:11,680 --> 00:20:13,159
Speaker 2: or twenty six I'm pretty sure of twenty fifteen.

428
00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:16,720
Speaker 1: Well they made it fifteen and sixteen, right.

429
00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:20,439
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think we're baseball podcasts we should know this.

430
00:20:20,480 --> 00:20:23,480
Speaker 2: But regardless, we understand that the Royals are making their

431
00:20:23,480 --> 00:20:25,639
Speaker 2: way through it, and we know that the window was

432
00:20:25,800 --> 00:20:29,359
Speaker 2: opening soon, especially with all these bats and Brady Singer

433
00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:33,159
Speaker 2: looked really really good in his last start. You know,

434
00:20:33,560 --> 00:20:35,960
Speaker 2: I just don't know about the pitching long term, like

435
00:20:36,280 --> 00:20:38,560
Speaker 2: use some of the bats that you have now, use

436
00:20:38,680 --> 00:20:43,200
Speaker 2: some of these relief pitchers, and get as much pitching

437
00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:45,920
Speaker 2: as you can. For a Royals fan to look back

438
00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:50,680
Speaker 2: on this deadline, I think it's really trading away anyone

439
00:20:50,760 --> 00:20:53,760
Speaker 2: over thirty years ago, and if you can get exciting

440
00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:56,960
Speaker 2: pitching prospects, that's a win for the Cats rule.

441
00:20:57,040 --> 00:20:59,040
Speaker 1: So there you go. And it was it was fifteen,

442
00:20:59,080 --> 00:21:00,800
Speaker 1: it was fourteen and five fifteen. By the way, they

443
00:21:00,840 --> 00:21:05,760
Speaker 1: won it in fifteen. They lost to the Giants in fourteen. No, yeah,

444
00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:08,040
Speaker 1: you know you were correct when they won it. You

445
00:21:08,119 --> 00:21:12,080
Speaker 1: were you were correct. So here here's the thing with

446
00:21:12,119 --> 00:21:14,800
Speaker 1: the Royals, And this is a clear cut one because

447
00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:17,760
Speaker 1: with the Reds, I would say, you know, just maximize return.

448
00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:20,920
Speaker 1: With the Royals, get as many freaking pitchers as you can.

449
00:21:22,080 --> 00:21:24,120
Speaker 1: I liked the trade that they made where they traded

450
00:21:24,160 --> 00:21:27,040
Speaker 1: the thirty fifth overall pick for Drew Waters, a pitching

451
00:21:27,040 --> 00:21:29,119
Speaker 1: prospects in Kaufman who actually really like I think he's

452
00:21:29,119 --> 00:21:32,600
Speaker 1: looked really good, and then CJ. Alexander. So they've already

453
00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:35,240
Speaker 1: started that Domino effect. But when you're trading Ben Attendi,

454
00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:37,040
Speaker 1: when you're trading some of these other guys, I think

455
00:21:37,080 --> 00:21:39,760
Speaker 1: Michael A. Taylor, assuming he's healthy, can get you, you know,

456
00:21:39,880 --> 00:21:41,760
Speaker 1: maybe a sneaky return if you package him with a

457
00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:46,240
Speaker 1: reliever or something. Get as many starting pitchers as you can,

458
00:21:46,359 --> 00:21:49,679
Speaker 1: because you can't develop starters, and you continue to see

459
00:21:49,920 --> 00:21:53,680
Speaker 1: the stock drop on all of their young pitching prospects

460
00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:56,359
Speaker 1: because they can't develop them. Get as many as you

461
00:21:56,440 --> 00:21:58,800
Speaker 1: can and hope that some of them pan out despite

462
00:21:58,840 --> 00:22:01,080
Speaker 1: your worst efforts to run their career or your best

463
00:22:01,080 --> 00:22:03,840
Speaker 1: efforts to ruin their career. Like the Royals have just

464
00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:06,680
Speaker 1: not developed pitching. Well, they're like the Marlins of hitting.

465
00:22:07,680 --> 00:22:09,560
Speaker 1: That's the number one way for the Royals to the

466
00:22:09,640 --> 00:22:11,120
Speaker 1: number one way for the Royals to have a good

467
00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:14,720
Speaker 1: a good second half is offensive prospects. Continue to get AB's,

468
00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:17,520
Speaker 1: which they're doing. I'm glad they caught up Vinnie. I'm

469
00:22:17,520 --> 00:22:20,480
Speaker 1: glad they traded Santana. And number two is get as

470
00:22:20,600 --> 00:22:22,360
Speaker 1: many freaking pitching prospects as you can.

471
00:22:23,040 --> 00:22:25,480
Speaker 2: Let's just end quickly with the Cubs because in my opinion,

472
00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:29,360
Speaker 2: they're still the most confusing team. Correct, What is a succes.

473
00:22:29,359 --> 00:22:34,399
Speaker 2: What does a successful deadline look for for the Chicago Cubs,

474
00:22:34,840 --> 00:22:38,840
Speaker 2: Because you know, trading Ian happ is probably smart, Trading

475
00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:42,720
Speaker 2: Wilson Contreras is smart. But you just said earlier in

476
00:22:42,760 --> 00:22:46,240
Speaker 2: the podcast that they might want to add controllable starters

477
00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:50,639
Speaker 2: as well. Like what's going on? I don't know the direction.

478
00:22:50,840 --> 00:22:53,600
Speaker 2: I haven't for a long time. I've really tried to

479
00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:56,240
Speaker 2: look into it, and I continue to come up empty

480
00:22:56,240 --> 00:22:58,960
Speaker 2: in analysis. I just don't know what they're doing. I

481
00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:00,240
Speaker 2: don't know what the plan is.

482
00:23:00,720 --> 00:23:03,040
Speaker 1: Did you see they're like hug from Ian happen Wilson

483
00:23:03,080 --> 00:23:07,439
Speaker 1: Contrera's today, Yeah, like like a very long embrace in

484
00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:09,600
Speaker 1: the dugout, which was sad, but like that was clearly

485
00:23:09,640 --> 00:23:12,640
Speaker 1: like ritings on the wall, you know, one of them

486
00:23:12,680 --> 00:23:17,960
Speaker 1: is gone or both. I think a direction would be nice,

487
00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:20,280
Speaker 1: you know, And maybe they have it and they're just

488
00:23:20,320 --> 00:23:22,199
Speaker 1: they're keeping their you know, their cards close to their

489
00:23:22,240 --> 00:23:26,119
Speaker 1: vest very but a direction would be nice.

490
00:23:26,600 --> 00:23:26,800
Speaker 2: You know.

491
00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:29,080
Speaker 1: I think you got to move on from from the

492
00:23:29,119 --> 00:23:31,360
Speaker 1: wisdoms of the world. You got to move on from

493
00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:34,840
Speaker 1: those guys and and really just start to get those

494
00:23:34,920 --> 00:23:37,320
Speaker 1: young guys up there, right, Like I want to see

495
00:23:37,320 --> 00:23:39,160
Speaker 1: what they have with some of their prospects. I want

496
00:23:39,160 --> 00:23:40,520
Speaker 1: to I want to see some of those guys get

497
00:23:40,560 --> 00:23:44,320
Speaker 1: some more abs. But I really just I want to

498
00:23:44,320 --> 00:23:46,360
Speaker 1: see a healthy Nco Horner because he has looked really

499
00:23:46,359 --> 00:23:47,960
Speaker 1: good when he is when he is on the field.

500
00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:50,480
Speaker 1: But just a queer direction. I think you got to

501
00:23:50,560 --> 00:23:54,000
Speaker 1: trade Contraras, and you gotta trade Hap and maybe Happy

502
00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:55,880
Speaker 1: you can you can hold on to since he's under

503
00:23:55,920 --> 00:23:58,920
Speaker 1: control for one more year. Contraras. I don't think they're

504
00:23:58,960 --> 00:24:01,199
Speaker 1: extending him. I think that's been pretty clear. I know.

505
00:24:01,560 --> 00:24:03,560
Speaker 1: I think it was a Jack that said he think

506
00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:05,280
Speaker 1: he thinks they might be able to pull it off.

507
00:24:05,440 --> 00:24:09,000
Speaker 1: I don't think. So get what you can get now.

508
00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:11,639
Speaker 1: He's the best offensive catcher in baseball so far this

509
00:24:11,720 --> 00:24:14,320
Speaker 1: year for the most part, and I think you're going

510
00:24:14,400 --> 00:24:16,199
Speaker 1: to maximize that return. But like, let's see what a

511
00:24:16,240 --> 00:24:19,960
Speaker 1: direction is like, give us something, because if they kind

512
00:24:19,960 --> 00:24:22,200
Speaker 1: of stay stuck in the middle, I don't really understand

513
00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:24,560
Speaker 1: what they're going to do here. They've got some assets,

514
00:24:24,560 --> 00:24:26,440
Speaker 1: you've got to trade. David Robertson right, You got to

515
00:24:26,440 --> 00:24:28,240
Speaker 1: trade some of those guys that you know have no

516
00:24:28,359 --> 00:24:31,040
Speaker 1: part of the long term future. Patrick wisdom again as

517
00:24:31,080 --> 00:24:33,600
Speaker 1: one of those guys as well. And just hope that

518
00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:36,520
Speaker 1: Suzuki and your other guys can stay healthy and just

519
00:24:36,520 --> 00:24:39,679
Speaker 1: continue to develop. But what do you do with Marcus Strouman, Like,

520
00:24:39,720 --> 00:24:42,080
Speaker 1: what's the deal with him? Is he opting out? What

521
00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:44,240
Speaker 1: do you opt out after such a bad year? Like,

522
00:24:44,280 --> 00:24:46,480
Speaker 1: They've got a lot of interesting things to figure out.

523
00:24:47,119 --> 00:24:49,439
Speaker 1: But I think they've got to sell on those guys

524
00:24:49,440 --> 00:24:51,040
Speaker 1: and do it before it's too late.

525
00:24:51,600 --> 00:24:54,120
Speaker 2: Totally agree. And another guy like Frank Schwindel, like it's

526
00:24:54,119 --> 00:24:56,359
Speaker 2: time to move off. A guy like that, even a

527
00:24:56,440 --> 00:24:57,840
Speaker 2: Rafael or Tega, they.

528
00:24:57,680 --> 00:24:58,760
Speaker 1: Can kind of yeah to.

529
00:24:59,080 --> 00:25:01,080
Speaker 2: Like these kind of guys is that you know, they

530
00:25:01,080 --> 00:25:02,760
Speaker 2: aren't the sexiest names in the world, but at the

531
00:25:02,800 --> 00:25:03,960
Speaker 2: end of the day, they're going to give you a

532
00:25:03,960 --> 00:25:06,480
Speaker 2: decent prospect return. I just don't want them to kind

533
00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:10,240
Speaker 2: of stand pat and just kind of pretend that they're

534
00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:13,159
Speaker 2: contending when in reality I think they're riding is on

535
00:25:13,280 --> 00:25:15,480
Speaker 2: the wall here, that they aren't very good. And just

536
00:25:15,520 --> 00:25:19,400
Speaker 2: to end it and this Cubs talk, go follow JB's

537
00:25:19,400 --> 00:25:22,600
Speaker 2: stats in info on Twitter. Our guy Colby is running

538
00:25:22,640 --> 00:25:24,800
Speaker 2: it headed up by the Mats. Jack called him the Mats.

539
00:25:24,840 --> 00:25:27,239
Speaker 2: I do like that. Two of our guys working on

540
00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:29,960
Speaker 2: just giving you the best stats that they find during

541
00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:32,440
Speaker 2: this MLB season, and this one was on Patrick Wisdom.

542
00:25:32,840 --> 00:25:36,399
Speaker 2: Patrick Wisdom is the MLB's current strikeout king. He currently

543
00:25:36,440 --> 00:25:38,840
Speaker 2: has one hundred and twenty nine strikeouts and three hundred

544
00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:41,320
Speaker 2: and seventy two played appearances to give him a thirty

545
00:25:41,320 --> 00:25:44,440
Speaker 2: three point nine percent rate. If he could replicate Mark

546
00:25:44,480 --> 00:25:47,199
Speaker 2: Reynolds six hundred and sixty two plate appearances from his

547
00:25:47,320 --> 00:25:50,280
Speaker 2: record two hundred and twenty three strikeout season, he would

548
00:25:50,359 --> 00:25:54,399
Speaker 2: break this single season record with two hundred and twenty

549
00:25:54,400 --> 00:25:56,879
Speaker 2: eight strikeouts. Reading that set, I just think to myself,

550
00:25:56,880 --> 00:25:59,000
Speaker 2: how is Gallo not on there? But Gallagers probably hasn't

551
00:25:59,040 --> 00:25:59,240
Speaker 2: hit it.

552
00:26:00,560 --> 00:26:02,720
Speaker 1: This is actually incredible because an he walks a little

553
00:26:02,720 --> 00:26:05,080
Speaker 1: bit more, walks a little bit more. Yeah, I'd rather

554
00:26:05,080 --> 00:26:08,960
Speaker 1: see those abs go to like anybody else, don't hurt

555
00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:12,960
Speaker 1: anybody else. Yeah it went once. Brennan's healthy, like yank

556
00:26:13,040 --> 00:26:16,200
Speaker 1: him up. I don't even care if now he's hurt. Unfortunately,

557
00:26:16,280 --> 00:26:18,720
Speaker 1: he's got he's got to get back. But I would

558
00:26:18,800 --> 00:26:20,880
Speaker 1: I would love to see them, you know, make a trade,

559
00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:23,720
Speaker 1: get an infield prospect, get some other guys, and get

560
00:26:23,720 --> 00:26:25,520
Speaker 1: those guys AB's and see how it goes. I mean,

561
00:26:25,600 --> 00:26:27,959
Speaker 1: Nick Magical is already back healthy and you know, swinging

562
00:26:27,960 --> 00:26:29,919
Speaker 1: it back in triple A. Bring that guy back up

563
00:26:29,960 --> 00:26:30,880
Speaker 1: and just see what he can do.

564
00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:31,440
Speaker 2: Uh.

565
00:26:31,480 --> 00:26:33,520
Speaker 1: At this point, I don't see why you need the

566
00:26:33,600 --> 00:26:35,720
Speaker 1: Raphael or take as of the world, you know, getting

567
00:26:35,760 --> 00:26:37,200
Speaker 1: that bats when you know they're not part of your

568
00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:38,040
Speaker 1: long term future.

569
00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:42,280
Speaker 2: Absolutely, let's move on to some contenders and now it's

570
00:26:42,280 --> 00:26:44,399
Speaker 2: going to start getting fun. Even though hopefully that was

571
00:26:44,440 --> 00:26:47,560
Speaker 2: fun for bottom dwelling teams fans, you know that we

572
00:26:47,640 --> 00:26:48,320
Speaker 2: got your back here.

573
00:26:48,560 --> 00:26:50,080
Speaker 1: I'm used to playing in the mud man.

574
00:26:51,240 --> 00:26:52,840
Speaker 2: I'm not as used to playing in the mud team,

575
00:26:53,160 --> 00:26:54,639
Speaker 2: but I try my best because I do like to

576
00:26:54,640 --> 00:26:58,919
Speaker 2: sport all teams in baseball. Question number four, what moves

577
00:26:58,960 --> 00:27:02,720
Speaker 2: do you think the Brewers could make to separate themselves

578
00:27:02,720 --> 00:27:05,960
Speaker 2: from the Cardinals and the Padres to get them closer

579
00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:09,439
Speaker 2: to elite contenders in the NL like the Braves, the Mets,

580
00:27:09,440 --> 00:27:11,960
Speaker 2: and the Dodgers. And that was asked by Creamer Brendan

581
00:27:12,480 --> 00:27:20,719
Speaker 2: on Twitter. So I'm looking at this Brewers lineup today

582
00:27:20,760 --> 00:27:24,160
Speaker 2: and it's hard to say, Okay, they should move off

583
00:27:24,240 --> 00:27:26,480
Speaker 2: rowdy tells at first base and go at one soda,

584
00:27:26,520 --> 00:27:29,520
Speaker 2: because it's not like Rowdy Teles is that bad, but

585
00:27:29,880 --> 00:27:33,040
Speaker 2: one so or one soda. Josh Bell is clearly better.

586
00:27:33,680 --> 00:27:37,639
Speaker 2: You know, in right field, left field, you know is

587
00:27:37,680 --> 00:27:41,920
Speaker 2: Andrew mccutch and the answer there, Hunter Renfro was dhing

588
00:27:42,640 --> 00:27:47,399
Speaker 2: pretty good. Luisa Riaz is at third base pretty good.

589
00:27:48,520 --> 00:27:51,160
Speaker 2: It's hard to say, oh, yeah, go get this guy,

590
00:27:51,160 --> 00:27:54,119
Speaker 2: but then bench this guy. They're just seem like they're

591
00:27:54,240 --> 00:27:59,119
Speaker 2: average starters. But if they're talking about outfield, because I

592
00:27:59,240 --> 00:28:02,000
Speaker 2: still do think they should add an outfielder. Jonathan Davis

593
00:28:02,080 --> 00:28:04,439
Speaker 2: is getting a lot of run in center field, and

594
00:28:04,480 --> 00:28:08,520
Speaker 2: the dude can just defend like nobody's business. But a

595
00:28:08,600 --> 00:28:11,719
Speaker 2: six hundred oh psn't cut an arm. Six hundred oh

596
00:28:11,720 --> 00:28:13,840
Speaker 2: ps an't gonna cut it. There's a lot of great

597
00:28:13,880 --> 00:28:16,679
Speaker 2: defensive center fielders, like even if Michael A. Taylor seems

598
00:28:16,680 --> 00:28:18,840
Speaker 2: like he would even be a better option, he can

599
00:28:18,840 --> 00:28:22,080
Speaker 2: defend just as well as as Jonathan Davis too. So

600
00:28:22,400 --> 00:28:24,800
Speaker 2: I look around the league and a guy like Robbie

601
00:28:24,800 --> 00:28:28,240
Speaker 2: Grossman makes the most sense in the world because you

602
00:28:28,280 --> 00:28:31,320
Speaker 2: still have these outfielders there, but you add a guy

603
00:28:31,840 --> 00:28:35,920
Speaker 2: like Robbie Grossman, maybe even a high Mere Candelario at

604
00:28:35,960 --> 00:28:38,840
Speaker 2: third base, so you're able to move maybe Luisa Rias

605
00:28:38,880 --> 00:28:41,840
Speaker 2: to second base because as as good as the glove

606
00:28:41,920 --> 00:28:44,320
Speaker 2: is with Colton Wong, like how much are you loving

607
00:28:44,360 --> 00:28:47,040
Speaker 2: his offense right now? That's what I was kind of

608
00:28:47,080 --> 00:28:49,280
Speaker 2: looking at. But you look at the lineup. You know,

609
00:28:49,320 --> 00:28:52,600
Speaker 2: you got Yelichen left. I mean, you got Willy Adamas

610
00:28:52,600 --> 00:28:56,440
Speaker 2: at short, but then it's Rowdy Telez, then it's Andrew McCutcheon.

611
00:28:56,600 --> 00:28:59,040
Speaker 2: It's just the lineup, doesn't scam it. We know the

612
00:28:59,080 --> 00:29:02,240
Speaker 2: pitching is great, and we know that even the bullpen

613
00:29:02,360 --> 00:29:04,200
Speaker 2: is great. I mean, Josh Hitter has been struggling. Like

614
00:29:04,240 --> 00:29:07,000
Speaker 2: that's that's an under the radar type story that Josh

615
00:29:07,040 --> 00:29:08,200
Speaker 2: Hater's walking a four.

616
00:29:08,040 --> 00:29:10,600
Speaker 1: E ra I know, which is crazy, but at the

617
00:29:10,640 --> 00:29:13,360
Speaker 1: same time, like I'm not worrying about that until like

618
00:29:13,800 --> 00:29:19,440
Speaker 1: it's actually insane run home runs, yeah, yeah, yeah, but no,

619
00:29:19,960 --> 00:29:22,600
Speaker 1: here's the weird thing is like what you said was

620
00:29:23,320 --> 00:29:26,680
Speaker 1: there's not one guy that's truly sucking exactly, but there's

621
00:29:26,680 --> 00:29:29,080
Speaker 1: no one that's that good. So it's like you can't

622
00:29:29,160 --> 00:29:31,120
Speaker 1: who are you swapping out? There's are just a bunch

623
00:29:31,120 --> 00:29:34,120
Speaker 1: of ninety five to one oh three WRC plus guys

624
00:29:34,120 --> 00:29:36,480
Speaker 1: and you're like, okay, well who are you plugging and playing?

625
00:29:36,480 --> 00:29:39,400
Speaker 1: And ultimately the great defenders are going to get the nod.

626
00:29:39,640 --> 00:29:42,120
Speaker 1: But like when when Jace Peterson is one of your

627
00:29:42,200 --> 00:29:44,920
Speaker 1: f four leaders among position players, like, you're you're in trouble.

628
00:29:44,960 --> 00:29:48,200
Speaker 1: Like that's not a team that's winning a postseason series,

629
00:29:48,440 --> 00:29:50,680
Speaker 1: or at least winning two of them. I would be

630
00:29:50,720 --> 00:29:52,600
Speaker 1: shocked if they won one of them, because again, the

631
00:29:52,640 --> 00:29:55,680
Speaker 1: pitching is good, but as you see, starting pitchers get

632
00:29:55,680 --> 00:29:58,120
Speaker 1: worn down in the postseason sometimes and you know they

633
00:29:58,160 --> 00:30:00,440
Speaker 1: get they're out by the fifth and then and you know,

634
00:30:00,920 --> 00:30:03,240
Speaker 1: you gotta score runs. You gotta score runs, and if

635
00:30:03,280 --> 00:30:04,720
Speaker 1: you're not scoring runs, it canna be hard to win.

636
00:30:05,360 --> 00:30:08,280
Speaker 1: I think the outfield is the obvious spot to upgrade,

637
00:30:08,320 --> 00:30:11,160
Speaker 1: because that could be outfield slash DH of course, so

638
00:30:11,600 --> 00:30:14,360
Speaker 1: you know, of course I was looking at just DH wise.

639
00:30:14,400 --> 00:30:16,640
Speaker 1: Of course, Josh Bell would be wonderful. I would love

640
00:30:16,640 --> 00:30:19,200
Speaker 1: to see them out of Josh Bell, that would be great.

641
00:30:19,520 --> 00:30:22,280
Speaker 1: But outfield wise, I think there's a lot of different

642
00:30:22,320 --> 00:30:25,040
Speaker 1: guys you can look at. Of course, Ben Attendee seems

643
00:30:25,040 --> 00:30:26,880
Speaker 1: to make a lot of sense. As well. I think

644
00:30:26,880 --> 00:30:29,160
Speaker 1: the power would tick up a little bit given that

645
00:30:29,200 --> 00:30:31,320
Speaker 1: he'd be playing, you know, in a little bit more

646
00:30:31,360 --> 00:30:35,040
Speaker 1: of a bandbox of a field. But I look around

647
00:30:35,040 --> 00:30:38,680
Speaker 1: the league and Ian happ in division. Are they doing that?

648
00:30:38,840 --> 00:30:41,920
Speaker 1: I don't know. You look at some other options bat wise,

649
00:30:42,040 --> 00:30:44,760
Speaker 1: Ramon Wreano, you know that's an upgrade. I would like

650
00:30:44,800 --> 00:30:47,160
Speaker 1: to see him in there, But you know, would they

651
00:30:47,200 --> 00:30:49,800
Speaker 1: do that? I don't know. Christian Walker, that's one where

652
00:30:49,840 --> 00:30:52,560
Speaker 1: I think could be a really underrated edition because he

653
00:30:52,560 --> 00:30:56,200
Speaker 1: would instantly be their best power hitter. They don't need

654
00:30:56,240 --> 00:30:58,840
Speaker 1: to break the bank. No, it's not that hard to

655
00:30:58,840 --> 00:31:01,320
Speaker 1: get a bat that's better than they've got. Christian Walker

656
00:31:01,360 --> 00:31:03,160
Speaker 1: would instantly be one of their best hitters, and that

657
00:31:03,200 --> 00:31:05,840
Speaker 1: kind of puts things in perspective. How about a Brandon Drury.

658
00:31:06,160 --> 00:31:09,680
Speaker 1: Brandon Drury has been very clearly and here's the thing,

659
00:31:09,720 --> 00:31:11,480
Speaker 1: He's been above average bat on the road. So I'm

660
00:31:11,480 --> 00:31:14,080
Speaker 1: not gonna fully, you know, discredit him with with the

661
00:31:14,240 --> 00:31:16,840
Speaker 1: with the Great American Ballpark benefit, he's been like a

662
00:31:16,840 --> 00:31:20,120
Speaker 1: one eighteen wrcplusky on the road. It's a hitters park

663
00:31:20,120 --> 00:31:21,960
Speaker 1: in Milwaukee, it's more the same. I know, it's not

664
00:31:22,080 --> 00:31:24,480
Speaker 1: quite as nice as Great American, but it's still nice.

665
00:31:24,520 --> 00:31:27,680
Speaker 1: Brandon Drury can play all over, as we know, so

666
00:31:27,800 --> 00:31:29,760
Speaker 1: you don't have to worry as much about who you're

667
00:31:29,760 --> 00:31:31,160
Speaker 1: gonna take out and who you're gonna put in. You

668
00:31:31,160 --> 00:31:33,600
Speaker 1: can move them around and do what you want. I

669
00:31:33,640 --> 00:31:36,440
Speaker 1: think Drury's a perfect fit. Again. I know it's indivision,

670
00:31:36,480 --> 00:31:37,840
Speaker 1: but I don't think that's going to really stop you

671
00:31:37,880 --> 00:31:39,080
Speaker 1: there with Brandon Drury.

672
00:31:39,160 --> 00:31:41,800
Speaker 2: And they really need right handed bats that can hit

673
00:31:41,800 --> 00:31:43,960
Speaker 2: a lefty. I mean, if you can find or verse

674
00:31:43,960 --> 00:31:46,560
Speaker 2: splitz lefty who can hit other lefties, that would be great.

675
00:31:46,600 --> 00:31:48,760
Speaker 2: But the Brewers have been one of the worst offenses

676
00:31:48,800 --> 00:31:51,320
Speaker 2: this year against left handed pitching. They have a six

677
00:31:51,320 --> 00:31:54,320
Speaker 2: to sixty five OPS as a team versus a seven

678
00:31:54,480 --> 00:31:57,720
Speaker 2: forty eight OPS against righty's. That's a bat that they

679
00:31:57,720 --> 00:32:00,120
Speaker 2: need to have. And I was even on the I

680
00:32:00,120 --> 00:32:03,800
Speaker 2: was on the phone with Ryan today, you know, does

681
00:32:03,800 --> 00:32:07,240
Speaker 2: everything here at just baseball teams? And what I was

682
00:32:07,520 --> 00:32:10,240
Speaker 2: what I was talking to him about was the Dan

683
00:32:10,320 --> 00:32:15,120
Speaker 2: vogelback trade that I understand that the Mets are not done.

684
00:32:15,280 --> 00:32:17,680
Speaker 2: Because I kind of freaked out on yesterday's podcast and

685
00:32:17,680 --> 00:32:19,760
Speaker 2: I kind of wanted to just sit there and kind

686
00:32:19,800 --> 00:32:21,840
Speaker 2: of have him not walking off the ledge because at

687
00:32:21,800 --> 00:32:23,040
Speaker 2: the end of the day, like it's not that big

688
00:32:23,040 --> 00:32:24,720
Speaker 2: of a deal. But I was just like, I didn't

689
00:32:24,760 --> 00:32:26,640
Speaker 2: like the move because I feel like the Mets need

690
00:32:26,680 --> 00:32:28,560
Speaker 2: to add a bat that can really hit a lefty,

691
00:32:28,760 --> 00:32:31,280
Speaker 2: and vogel Back has been great against righty's but can't

692
00:32:31,320 --> 00:32:33,520
Speaker 2: hit a lefty to save his life. I understand that

693
00:32:33,560 --> 00:32:36,880
Speaker 2: they're not done, but moves like that just don't really

694
00:32:36,880 --> 00:32:38,840
Speaker 2: make much sense to me. When you're trading away a

695
00:32:38,880 --> 00:32:40,920
Speaker 2: reliever who has been performing well.

696
00:32:41,480 --> 00:32:41,920
Speaker 1: Is he the.

697
00:32:41,880 --> 00:32:44,200
Speaker 2: Greatest reliever in the world. Of course not, but he's

698
00:32:44,240 --> 00:32:46,880
Speaker 2: pitched very well since he's got called up. He's still

699
00:32:46,920 --> 00:32:50,000
Speaker 2: pretty young. That trade just didn't make much sense to me.

700
00:32:50,440 --> 00:32:52,760
Speaker 2: And I don't want the Brewers to then go add

701
00:32:52,800 --> 00:32:55,720
Speaker 2: maybe a lefty bat that can't hit a lefty at all.

702
00:32:56,120 --> 00:32:59,360
Speaker 2: They need a guy like Christian Walker that makes the

703
00:32:59,400 --> 00:33:01,960
Speaker 2: most sense. I was talking about Robbie Grossman again, who's

704
00:33:01,960 --> 00:33:05,120
Speaker 2: a switch hitter who can at least add some positional versatility,

705
00:33:05,160 --> 00:33:07,719
Speaker 2: or not positional, I mean, you could add some versatility

706
00:33:07,720 --> 00:33:10,760
Speaker 2: from both sides of the plate for you. So that's

707
00:33:10,760 --> 00:33:12,479
Speaker 2: what I was thinking there. At least with the Dan

708
00:33:12,560 --> 00:33:15,080
Speaker 2: Vogelback trade, and kind of, while we're on the subject, quickly,

709
00:33:15,120 --> 00:33:16,560
Speaker 2: what do you think about that before we get back

710
00:33:16,600 --> 00:33:17,080
Speaker 2: to the Brewers.

711
00:33:17,120 --> 00:33:19,360
Speaker 1: I was shocked that they moved to holderman Et. You know,

712
00:33:20,080 --> 00:33:24,560
Speaker 1: I get it, it's another bat, but is he moving

713
00:33:24,600 --> 00:33:27,000
Speaker 1: the needle? No? I almost rather have the bullpen arm

714
00:33:27,080 --> 00:33:28,080
Speaker 1: with control.

715
00:33:27,880 --> 00:33:30,280
Speaker 2: His shirtcut on three pitches against Alberta brew.

716
00:33:31,920 --> 00:33:34,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was surprised by it. I didn't really get it.

717
00:33:34,560 --> 00:33:37,520
Speaker 1: We'll see what else they do, but it didn't really

718
00:33:37,560 --> 00:33:39,160
Speaker 1: seem to make that much sense for me. I don't

719
00:33:39,160 --> 00:33:41,880
Speaker 1: know how that moves the needle for them. Vogel Back

720
00:33:41,920 --> 00:33:46,440
Speaker 1: obviously not very mobile. It's just the bat, And I

721
00:33:46,480 --> 00:33:48,000
Speaker 1: don't really know if they needed a guy like that.

722
00:33:48,240 --> 00:33:50,920
Speaker 1: So yeah, that one was a head scratcher for me.

723
00:33:51,000 --> 00:33:53,280
Speaker 1: But yeah, I would love to see a Brandon Drury

724
00:33:53,320 --> 00:33:55,480
Speaker 1: or Christian Walker type in Milwaukee. They don't need to

725
00:33:55,480 --> 00:33:58,600
Speaker 1: break the bank again, and their system's gotten a lot better.

726
00:33:59,080 --> 00:34:01,120
Speaker 1: They can afford to make a trade here or there,

727
00:34:01,160 --> 00:34:04,000
Speaker 1: and I think they it doesn't have to be a blockbuster.

728
00:34:04,400 --> 00:34:08,319
Speaker 2: And to my misspoke spoke, I don't even know how

729
00:34:08,360 --> 00:34:13,480
Speaker 2: to speak. My misspokenness about about the about the positional

730
00:34:13,560 --> 00:34:16,680
Speaker 2: versatility with Robbie Grossman, like Brandon Drury gives you that

731
00:34:16,719 --> 00:34:19,080
Speaker 2: positional versus. He could play third base, he could play

732
00:34:19,120 --> 00:34:21,319
Speaker 2: second base and just add some pop another guy who

733
00:34:21,360 --> 00:34:24,200
Speaker 2: hits a lefty. That's a great addition there. And I

734
00:34:24,200 --> 00:34:27,440
Speaker 2: wouldn't worry about an in division trade there because not

735
00:34:27,480 --> 00:34:30,000
Speaker 2: like Brandon Drury is that much of an impact play.

736
00:34:30,120 --> 00:34:32,760
Speaker 2: He has been a rental. He's a rental a Luis

737
00:34:32,800 --> 00:34:35,439
Speaker 2: Castillo to the Cardinals. That's when it's like, oh, will

738
00:34:35,480 --> 00:34:37,360
Speaker 2: they truly trade in division?

739
00:34:37,719 --> 00:34:37,919
Speaker 1: Now?

740
00:34:38,280 --> 00:34:40,520
Speaker 2: Anything else on the Brewers before we move on to

741
00:34:40,960 --> 00:34:43,080
Speaker 2: one of the more exciting questions that we have on

742
00:34:43,120 --> 00:34:44,680
Speaker 2: this entire mailbag, probably the most.

743
00:34:44,920 --> 00:34:47,080
Speaker 1: I feel like we've been asking asking the fucking Brewers

744
00:34:47,080 --> 00:34:48,960
Speaker 1: to add a at a bat for two years now.

745
00:34:49,120 --> 00:34:51,440
Speaker 1: I mean, like, you saw what happened in last year's postseason.

746
00:34:51,520 --> 00:34:53,080
Speaker 1: I know it was more than just the bat, but

747
00:34:54,080 --> 00:34:55,640
Speaker 1: at a at a freaking.

748
00:34:57,160 --> 00:34:59,640
Speaker 2: They pitched great, they didn't hit, pitch pretty well a

749
00:34:59,680 --> 00:35:00,719
Speaker 2: series and just went home.

750
00:35:01,640 --> 00:35:04,239
Speaker 1: They're like, oh wow, I am shocks that we can't hit.

751
00:35:04,680 --> 00:35:07,360
Speaker 1: And even though we don't have hitters like Christian awich

752
00:35:07,400 --> 00:35:09,359
Speaker 1: is not gonna He's still a fine bat but he's

753
00:35:09,360 --> 00:35:12,080
Speaker 1: not gonna be MVP lch. Maybe last year you could

754
00:35:12,120 --> 00:35:14,640
Speaker 1: hold your breath a little bit and hope it's not coming,

755
00:35:14,880 --> 00:35:16,480
Speaker 1: So go get somebody else.

756
00:35:17,239 --> 00:35:20,160
Speaker 2: And I love Willia Dummas, but if he's the best

757
00:35:20,200 --> 00:35:23,840
Speaker 2: bat on it's not even close. You're in trouble. You

758
00:35:23,920 --> 00:35:26,879
Speaker 2: are in trouble. As much as he's been good this year,

759
00:35:27,360 --> 00:35:33,399
Speaker 2: you are in trouble. This question, I love create your

760
00:35:33,600 --> 00:35:39,400
Speaker 2: favorite lineup of current players with three lefties, three rights,

761
00:35:39,600 --> 00:35:43,680
Speaker 2: and three switch hitters. This was asked by Andrew and

762
00:35:43,719 --> 00:35:47,480
Speaker 2: I don't want to mispronounced bisycer b I E s

763
00:35:47,760 --> 00:35:50,840
Speaker 2: e c k e r on ig. Shout out you

764
00:35:50,960 --> 00:35:54,759
Speaker 2: Andrew for the phenomenal question. So what we could do

765
00:35:54,920 --> 00:35:57,520
Speaker 2: is we could list our three best lefties, three best rights,

766
00:35:57,520 --> 00:36:00,200
Speaker 2: and three best switch hitters, or we could fill out

767
00:36:00,239 --> 00:36:02,560
Speaker 2: a team. How do you want to do this?

768
00:36:04,080 --> 00:36:05,600
Speaker 1: So I had it set up where I was just

769
00:36:05,760 --> 00:36:09,120
Speaker 1: my three favorite guys to watch of like each lefty,

770
00:36:09,239 --> 00:36:10,040
Speaker 1: righty switch.

771
00:36:10,280 --> 00:36:11,000
Speaker 2: Okay, I don't like it.

772
00:36:11,040 --> 00:36:12,000
Speaker 1: That was the way I did it.

773
00:36:12,120 --> 00:36:14,120
Speaker 2: I like it. Let's let's roll with that because we

774
00:36:14,160 --> 00:36:16,360
Speaker 2: can kind of maybe just put them in positions and

775
00:36:16,400 --> 00:36:18,440
Speaker 2: maybe shout out some other guys in other positions that

776
00:36:18,480 --> 00:36:20,400
Speaker 2: we do like that we would have added to the team.

777
00:36:20,440 --> 00:36:22,800
Speaker 2: But let's just stick to what the three best lefties,

778
00:36:23,080 --> 00:36:26,160
Speaker 2: the three best rightis and the three best switch hitters

779
00:36:26,160 --> 00:36:27,719
Speaker 2: in all of baseball right now?

780
00:36:28,800 --> 00:36:32,239
Speaker 1: So what did you So? Here's my thing. I went

781
00:36:32,320 --> 00:36:35,319
Speaker 1: with the three guys I enjoy watching the most, which

782
00:36:35,360 --> 00:36:38,960
Speaker 1: is Jordon Alvarez, Rafael Devers and Freddie Freeman from the

783
00:36:39,040 --> 00:36:43,000
Speaker 1: left side. I love Jordon because I mean, who doesn't

784
00:36:43,040 --> 00:36:45,719
Speaker 1: love what Jordon does. He does so much damage while

785
00:36:45,800 --> 00:36:48,200
Speaker 1: not striking out. And that's the same thing with Rafael

786
00:36:48,280 --> 00:36:51,200
Speaker 1: Devers when you defy what is done in today's game,

787
00:36:51,239 --> 00:36:55,120
Speaker 1: which is usually power at the expense of contact. I

788
00:36:55,280 --> 00:36:57,120
Speaker 1: you know, it's I don't hate it. I'm not one

789
00:36:57,120 --> 00:36:58,800
Speaker 1: of those like boomers that's being get pissed about it.

790
00:36:58,880 --> 00:37:01,600
Speaker 1: But you're not. You're not unique, you know. And Han

791
00:37:01,600 --> 00:37:05,160
Speaker 1: Alvarez Rafaeldevers are incredibly unique. Freddie Freeman's swing is so

792
00:37:05,880 --> 00:37:09,840
Speaker 1: unique in itself. It's just different. I love that the

793
00:37:09,840 --> 00:37:11,839
Speaker 1: way it looks like an uppercut, but it's really not.

794
00:37:11,960 --> 00:37:14,279
Speaker 1: The way he uses the whole field. I mean you

795
00:37:14,280 --> 00:37:17,120
Speaker 1: talked about on the last podcast, He's He's been dynamite

796
00:37:17,760 --> 00:37:19,880
Speaker 1: so far this year for the Dodgers. Those are my

797
00:37:19,960 --> 00:37:22,359
Speaker 1: three favorite lefties to watch right now.

798
00:37:22,840 --> 00:37:26,560
Speaker 2: So I like how you phrased that, because I'm sure

799
00:37:26,640 --> 00:37:30,040
Speaker 2: if you were talking about the best three lefties in baseball,

800
00:37:30,080 --> 00:37:33,360
Speaker 2: Juan Soto would be in that absoluteation. Maybe even a

801
00:37:33,440 --> 00:37:36,600
Speaker 2: Bryce Harper would be in that conversation. Because this is

802
00:37:36,600 --> 00:37:40,520
Speaker 2: how I did it. My three best lefties in baseball.

803
00:37:40,560 --> 00:37:42,480
Speaker 2: I think this is a good this is your favorite

804
00:37:42,480 --> 00:37:44,239
Speaker 2: to watch, And I'm just gonna say, well, I think

805
00:37:44,280 --> 00:37:47,239
Speaker 2: are the three best left handed hitters in baseball. I

806
00:37:47,400 --> 00:37:50,880
Speaker 2: went with jord On Alvarez, I went with Juan Soto,

807
00:37:51,040 --> 00:37:53,960
Speaker 2: and I'm still going with Bryce Harper. I agree, I

808
00:37:54,000 --> 00:37:56,920
Speaker 2: still think those are the three best left handed hitters

809
00:37:56,920 --> 00:38:01,920
Speaker 2: in baseball, with clear honorable mentions to Rafael Devers, Freddie Freeman.

810
00:38:02,040 --> 00:38:04,360
Speaker 2: I mean, we could continue to go down the lineup.

811
00:38:04,600 --> 00:38:07,560
Speaker 2: I mean, there's so many good left handed hitters in baseball,

812
00:38:07,800 --> 00:38:10,960
Speaker 2: but those really were I guess the five that I

813
00:38:11,160 --> 00:38:14,520
Speaker 2: was really looking at as the three best lefties. Let's

814
00:38:14,600 --> 00:38:16,360
Speaker 2: move over, Yeah, go ahead, do you have any I.

815
00:38:16,400 --> 00:38:18,800
Speaker 1: Was gonna say? I agree those are the three best lefties.

816
00:38:18,800 --> 00:38:22,640
Speaker 1: And Bryce Harper for me is like I could throw

817
00:38:22,680 --> 00:38:25,000
Speaker 1: him in there too. In terms of guys, I really

818
00:38:25,080 --> 00:38:28,480
Speaker 1: enjoyed to watch because he has just become such a

819
00:38:28,480 --> 00:38:31,239
Speaker 1: complete hitter now as he's aged and just continues to

820
00:38:31,280 --> 00:38:34,480
Speaker 1: get better and better and better and age like fine wine.

821
00:38:34,520 --> 00:38:37,040
Speaker 1: I mean, I just I love watching that guy hit two.

822
00:38:37,320 --> 00:38:39,879
Speaker 1: I agree, those are the three best hitters, but yeah,

823
00:38:39,960 --> 00:38:41,279
Speaker 1: go on, So.

824
00:38:41,280 --> 00:38:44,600
Speaker 2: Now let's move on to your three favorite right handed

825
00:38:44,680 --> 00:38:48,840
Speaker 2: hitters to watch, because I have my three best righties

826
00:38:48,960 --> 00:38:52,920
Speaker 2: and this one might not. It shouldn't shock some people,

827
00:38:52,960 --> 00:38:55,000
Speaker 2: but it's definitely gonna have people in the comments saying,

828
00:38:55,000 --> 00:38:56,879
Speaker 2: what about this guy? What about this guy? Because there's

829
00:38:56,920 --> 00:38:59,120
Speaker 2: so many good ones, especially in the lefties too. I mean,

830
00:38:59,239 --> 00:39:02,160
Speaker 2: Switchers is a little bit more straightforward, but these lefties

831
00:39:02,160 --> 00:39:04,239
Speaker 2: and righties people are either not gonna like this or

832
00:39:04,280 --> 00:39:06,560
Speaker 2: love it, probably the former.

833
00:39:06,719 --> 00:39:10,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, So my three favorite to watch right now Mike

834
00:39:10,640 --> 00:39:13,439
Speaker 1: Trout obviously, but just the way he commands to strike

835
00:39:13,560 --> 00:39:16,440
Speaker 1: zone is pretty impressive, and just the swing is just stupid.

836
00:39:16,520 --> 00:39:21,040
Speaker 1: He's pretty good Manny Machado this year has been a wonderful,

837
00:39:21,360 --> 00:39:24,120
Speaker 1: wonderful watch like I will stop what I'm doing to

838
00:39:24,120 --> 00:39:27,080
Speaker 1: watch Manny Machado ABIs because not only is he hitting

839
00:39:27,120 --> 00:39:29,919
Speaker 1: the ball as hard as ever, he's going the other way.

840
00:39:30,040 --> 00:39:33,160
Speaker 1: He's like inside out swinging and like he's using the

841
00:39:33,200 --> 00:39:36,400
Speaker 1: whole field. He looks like just the most advanced version

842
00:39:36,400 --> 00:39:39,600
Speaker 1: of Manny Machatda we've ever seen, even like his his

843
00:39:39,800 --> 00:39:42,719
Speaker 1: fooled swings have looked good. I mean, this guy has

844
00:39:42,800 --> 00:39:48,320
Speaker 1: just turned into the most well rounded, advanced, just mature

845
00:39:48,440 --> 00:39:50,960
Speaker 1: hitter that we've seen from Machada, which I love. And

846
00:39:50,960 --> 00:39:54,279
Speaker 1: then Trey Turner. Trey Turner was just a speedy guy.

847
00:39:54,640 --> 00:39:58,439
Speaker 1: Now we're watching him just impact the baseball. Another dude

848
00:39:58,440 --> 00:40:01,360
Speaker 1: that can slap it in the ground, burned a first base,

849
00:40:01,719 --> 00:40:04,120
Speaker 1: or hit it four fifty like. That's what I love

850
00:40:04,160 --> 00:40:06,120
Speaker 1: about Turner. So you don't know what you're gonna get

851
00:40:06,160 --> 00:40:07,920
Speaker 1: any at bad. It could be a tank or it

852
00:40:07,920 --> 00:40:11,080
Speaker 1: could be a slapped ball that he beats out, and

853
00:40:11,120 --> 00:40:13,000
Speaker 1: that always keeps me on my toes. So those are

854
00:40:13,000 --> 00:40:14,960
Speaker 1: my three favorite rities to watch.

855
00:40:15,320 --> 00:40:17,640
Speaker 2: I really like that you mentioned Trade Turner because I

856
00:40:17,680 --> 00:40:20,640
Speaker 2: feel like he hasn't gotten enough love this entire year.

857
00:40:21,080 --> 00:40:25,279
Speaker 2: Because Jack and I were speaking, I think he's better

858
00:40:25,320 --> 00:40:28,720
Speaker 2: than Carlos Korea, and with Fernando Tuchmans Junior on the shelf,

859
00:40:29,120 --> 00:40:31,120
Speaker 2: Trey Turner is the best shortstop in baseball.

860
00:40:32,520 --> 00:40:35,960
Speaker 1: Yeah right, yeah, I mean, dude, now that he's sitting

861
00:40:35,960 --> 00:40:38,200
Speaker 1: for power, what hole can you poke in?

862
00:40:38,239 --> 00:40:42,520
Speaker 2: Trey Turner's can't defense slightly and his playoff aptitude. He

863
00:40:42,640 --> 00:40:44,920
Speaker 2: was not good with the Dodgers last year, and Jack

864
00:40:44,960 --> 00:40:47,960
Speaker 2: and I were also talking about this. Trey Turner is

865
00:40:48,080 --> 00:40:50,320
Speaker 2: due to be a free agent. I think the Dodgers

866
00:40:50,360 --> 00:40:52,920
Speaker 2: and this is kind of a simplistic take, but I

867
00:40:53,000 --> 00:40:56,920
Speaker 2: kind of believe it. If Trey Turner doesn't perform in

868
00:40:56,920 --> 00:41:02,839
Speaker 2: the postseason again this year, will they resign him? Or

869
00:41:04,080 --> 00:41:06,279
Speaker 2: if he does perform well in the postseason, are they, like,

870
00:41:06,280 --> 00:41:10,080
Speaker 2: you know what, he's earned it. That's how close I

871
00:41:10,120 --> 00:41:11,920
Speaker 2: feel like it's going to be with a guy like

872
00:41:12,000 --> 00:41:14,439
Speaker 2: Trey Turner. But at the end of the day, he's

873
00:41:14,480 --> 00:41:18,040
Speaker 2: been so freaking good for the Daughters during the regular season,

874
00:41:18,080 --> 00:41:19,960
Speaker 2: and he is just such a good player. When I

875
00:41:19,960 --> 00:41:23,239
Speaker 2: say defense, if we're talking about pitfalls of the superstars

876
00:41:23,239 --> 00:41:25,560
Speaker 2: of baseball, he still plays fine defense. I mean, he's

877
00:41:25,560 --> 00:41:27,759
Speaker 2: not terrible over there, but I wouldn't say that he's

878
00:41:27,920 --> 00:41:29,960
Speaker 2: great like a career or someone like that.

879
00:41:30,480 --> 00:41:32,200
Speaker 1: You know what's wild too, is as you were talking

880
00:41:32,200 --> 00:41:33,839
Speaker 1: about that, I wanted to pull up like that that

881
00:41:33,960 --> 00:41:37,640
Speaker 1: World Series run in nineteen with the Nationals, and he

882
00:41:37,760 --> 00:41:41,759
Speaker 1: wasn't that good. He struggled in the World Series. I mean,

883
00:41:41,920 --> 00:41:44,239
Speaker 1: he had some big hits and big spots, and ultimately

884
00:41:44,280 --> 00:41:47,680
Speaker 1: he was with a starter in an important position on

885
00:41:47,719 --> 00:41:50,040
Speaker 1: a World Series winner. So you can only fault him

886
00:41:50,040 --> 00:41:52,360
Speaker 1: so much. But yeah, I mean, he disappeared in the

887
00:41:52,400 --> 00:41:55,880
Speaker 1: postseason last year, and I do wonder if that's a factor.

888
00:41:56,320 --> 00:41:59,880
Speaker 1: That being said, yeah, he is legitimately the best shortstop

889
00:42:00,080 --> 00:42:03,480
Speaker 1: baseball right now, and man, I mean I'm interested to

890
00:42:03,520 --> 00:42:05,480
Speaker 1: see how much money he gets and whether the Dodgers

891
00:42:05,480 --> 00:42:08,000
Speaker 1: are going to pay it. I think they ultimately will,

892
00:42:08,080 --> 00:42:10,080
Speaker 1: because I don't know if you can replace that kind

893
00:42:10,120 --> 00:42:13,120
Speaker 1: of production. If anybody can, it's the Dodgers. But I

894
00:42:13,120 --> 00:42:14,960
Speaker 1: don't know how many teams will really be willing to

895
00:42:15,760 --> 00:42:18,439
Speaker 1: beat that offer that he's going to get as well.

896
00:42:18,560 --> 00:42:21,080
Speaker 1: I mean, do the Yankees circle back or are they

897
00:42:21,160 --> 00:42:23,399
Speaker 1: kind of just keen on Volpi being the guy shorts off?

898
00:42:23,400 --> 00:42:26,359
Speaker 1: Like how many teams can really pay him, it would

899
00:42:26,400 --> 00:42:30,080
Speaker 1: be interesting. But that being said, yeah, Turner is unbelievable.

900
00:42:30,360 --> 00:42:31,920
Speaker 1: You can't really poke a hole in his game, like

901
00:42:31,960 --> 00:42:33,360
Speaker 1: I said, And moving.

902
00:42:33,080 --> 00:42:37,360
Speaker 2: Into my best three writings and just a reminder, Paul

903
00:42:37,400 --> 00:42:41,440
Speaker 2: Goldschmidt is a guy who deserves credit here, but he

904
00:42:41,480 --> 00:42:44,560
Speaker 2: didn't make my three best writings in Baseball because I'm

905
00:42:44,640 --> 00:42:47,480
Speaker 2: not just being so recent, right, this is not just

906
00:42:47,600 --> 00:42:50,840
Speaker 2: this season. I'm looking at who do I want it

907
00:42:50,920 --> 00:42:56,000
Speaker 2: to plate as a righty who's shown it to me

908
00:42:56,160 --> 00:43:01,880
Speaker 2: year over year, and those three are Mike Trout, Aaron Judge,

909
00:43:02,800 --> 00:43:07,040
Speaker 2: and Mookie Betts. Those are the three. But I have

910
00:43:07,120 --> 00:43:08,920
Speaker 2: to shout out Austin Riley for a second.

911
00:43:09,000 --> 00:43:10,640
Speaker 1: Arm. Yeah he rakes again.

912
00:43:11,080 --> 00:43:17,799
Speaker 2: He is so good he is. And I mentioned him

913
00:43:17,840 --> 00:43:21,279
Speaker 2: before Akunya for a reason, even though Akunya deserves donable mention,

914
00:43:21,440 --> 00:43:27,239
Speaker 2: of course, But man, this guy Arm has to be

915
00:43:27,360 --> 00:43:30,239
Speaker 2: considered with the best third basement in baseball. He was

916
00:43:30,239 --> 00:43:32,520
Speaker 2: one of the best defenders in the entire sport last

917
00:43:32,560 --> 00:43:35,239
Speaker 2: year and now he can't get out. He started off

918
00:43:35,320 --> 00:43:38,600
Speaker 2: kind of slow, but that doesn't even matter. Now he

919
00:43:38,880 --> 00:43:42,239
Speaker 2: is one of the best hitters in all of baseball.

920
00:43:43,160 --> 00:43:46,080
Speaker 2: I mean, he's seventh the next Wolba. Do you know

921
00:43:46,120 --> 00:43:47,960
Speaker 2: what he's sitting all of baseball and he had a

922
00:43:48,000 --> 00:43:48,760
Speaker 2: slow start.

923
00:43:48,560 --> 00:43:50,480
Speaker 1: To the year, do you know what he's sitting in

924
00:43:50,560 --> 00:43:56,880
Speaker 1: July seven hundred, close four, twenty four with ten pumps.

925
00:43:57,600 --> 00:44:00,880
Speaker 2: He's incredible day in and day out. He hits a

926
00:44:00,880 --> 00:44:03,600
Speaker 2: home run or hits the ball hard every single day.

927
00:44:03,640 --> 00:44:05,480
Speaker 2: It doesn't matter if you're lefty, it doesn't matter if

928
00:44:05,480 --> 00:44:07,400
Speaker 2: you're a righty. I mean, Matt Olson's been killing the

929
00:44:07,440 --> 00:44:11,600
Speaker 2: ball too, but Austin Riley is unfucking believable.

930
00:44:11,880 --> 00:44:13,319
Speaker 1: And I mean we're talking about a guy that, with

931
00:44:13,360 --> 00:44:15,759
Speaker 1: the way he finished last year, was was, you know,

932
00:44:15,800 --> 00:44:18,080
Speaker 1: not an MVP candidate, but one of the guys that

933
00:44:18,120 --> 00:44:20,319
Speaker 1: we were like, oh, he belongs in the guys that

934
00:44:20,360 --> 00:44:23,080
Speaker 1: get votes conversation. Right, It's gonna be the same story

935
00:44:23,080 --> 00:44:25,000
Speaker 1: this year. I mean, he's gonna hit more home runs yet.

936
00:44:25,000 --> 00:44:27,239
Speaker 1: Thirty three home runs last year is twenty eight this year.

937
00:44:28,320 --> 00:44:31,080
Speaker 1: The batting average, almost everything else looks roughly the same,

938
00:44:31,360 --> 00:44:35,480
Speaker 1: WRC plus is twenty three points higher. He's gonna beat

939
00:44:35,520 --> 00:44:37,279
Speaker 1: his f war totals from last year. This guy's gonna

940
00:44:37,280 --> 00:44:42,000
Speaker 1: get MVP votes. And we're talking about gold Schmidt and Machado,

941
00:44:42,120 --> 00:44:45,000
Speaker 1: And I mean, this is a dark horse for the MVP.

942
00:44:46,400 --> 00:44:48,759
Speaker 1: The MVP, especially with the Braves being one of the

943
00:44:48,800 --> 00:44:50,960
Speaker 1: best teams in baseball. This is a dark horse for

944
00:44:51,040 --> 00:44:54,520
Speaker 1: the NL MVP. If he hits forty home runs, which

945
00:44:54,520 --> 00:44:57,719
Speaker 1: I think he's well on his way to doing with average,

946
00:44:57,800 --> 00:45:01,759
Speaker 1: with fine defense or better than fine defense on baseball's

947
00:45:02,080 --> 00:45:04,839
Speaker 1: top three team, this guy could be an MVP.

948
00:45:05,400 --> 00:45:08,360
Speaker 2: Could be an MVP. Let's move over to switch hitters.

949
00:45:08,920 --> 00:45:11,400
Speaker 2: This one's a little bit tougher. I have a couple

950
00:45:11,400 --> 00:45:13,759
Speaker 2: of names I want to throw at you because I'm

951
00:45:13,760 --> 00:45:18,040
Speaker 2: not sold that these are the top three, because Francisco

952
00:45:18,120 --> 00:45:21,200
Speaker 2: Lindor did not make mind because if we're just looking

953
00:45:21,200 --> 00:45:23,840
Speaker 2: at offense at the end of the day, he's like

954
00:45:23,880 --> 00:45:26,239
Speaker 2: a seven to fifty oh PS guy. Yeah, that's the

955
00:45:26,239 --> 00:45:29,560
Speaker 2: reality of the situation. So what I went with what

956
00:45:29,680 --> 00:45:32,960
Speaker 2: I thought are the three best switch hitters in baseball.

957
00:45:33,239 --> 00:45:35,760
Speaker 2: Jose Ramirez is number one in an ach not even close,

958
00:45:35,960 --> 00:45:39,560
Speaker 2: not even fucking close. So Jose A. Ramirez number two.

959
00:45:39,640 --> 00:45:42,359
Speaker 2: I put Josh Bell, Yeah, and I wanted to throw

960
00:45:42,400 --> 00:45:44,800
Speaker 2: that at you because at number three, I have kateel Marte.

961
00:45:44,960 --> 00:45:47,040
Speaker 1: Yep. That's what I have, is that what you have.

962
00:45:47,160 --> 00:45:49,799
Speaker 1: That's literally those are my three favorite because that's that's

963
00:45:49,800 --> 00:45:53,919
Speaker 1: how that's how extreme switch hitting has become, where it's

964
00:45:53,920 --> 00:45:57,400
Speaker 1: like either you excel at it or you can't really

965
00:45:57,480 --> 00:45:59,400
Speaker 1: do it. And you see guys like Cidrich Mullins give

966
00:45:59,400 --> 00:46:04,560
Speaker 1: it up supposed to hard. Now Marte offensively. You know,

967
00:46:04,560 --> 00:46:06,600
Speaker 1: in terms of switch hitting, is just is just more

968
00:46:06,640 --> 00:46:10,560
Speaker 1: productive Josh Bell. I'm sold at this point that Josh

969
00:46:10,600 --> 00:46:13,840
Speaker 1: Bell has figured out how to kind of replicate something

970
00:46:13,880 --> 00:46:15,839
Speaker 1: close to what we saw in twenty nineteen. I mean,

971
00:46:15,920 --> 00:46:17,839
Speaker 1: it's not like he just came out of nowhere with this.

972
00:46:18,239 --> 00:46:19,880
Speaker 1: He had to rediscover it. I think he had to

973
00:46:19,920 --> 00:46:22,440
Speaker 1: adjust to the league adjusting to him, and he's clearly

974
00:46:22,480 --> 00:46:25,360
Speaker 1: done that. Those are the three best switch hitters in baseball,

975
00:46:25,400 --> 00:46:26,960
Speaker 1: I think, and I think they're kind of almost in

976
00:46:27,000 --> 00:46:31,640
Speaker 1: their own department. Lindora is a wonderful baseball player, but

977
00:46:31,680 --> 00:46:33,840
Speaker 1: if we're talking pure offense, I think those are the

978
00:46:33,880 --> 00:46:35,880
Speaker 1: three best, most consistent switch hitters.

979
00:46:36,440 --> 00:46:38,480
Speaker 2: That was such a fun conversation. All right, let's move

980
00:46:38,520 --> 00:46:42,080
Speaker 2: on to the next question. Back to trade deadline reports.

981
00:46:42,239 --> 00:46:43,520
Speaker 2: We had to be a little of fun there where

982
00:46:43,520 --> 00:46:47,600
Speaker 2: we're back making mocks. Question number six, how do you

983
00:46:47,680 --> 00:46:52,880
Speaker 2: guys feel about a potential moreno for scooball swap or

984
00:46:52,960 --> 00:46:57,279
Speaker 2: other mock trades for Trek Scooble, asked by Noah Bsl

985
00:46:57,440 --> 00:47:01,759
Speaker 2: on Twitter. And if you haven't heard, the Tigers, and

986
00:47:01,840 --> 00:47:06,239
Speaker 2: this was reported by Ken Rosenthal on The Athletic, they

987
00:47:06,280 --> 00:47:10,200
Speaker 2: got the door open and anybody is available. You probably

988
00:47:10,200 --> 00:47:12,520
Speaker 2: heard that from this earlier conversation. We were talking about

989
00:47:12,520 --> 00:47:14,920
Speaker 2: all the Tigers that could get moved. But Trek Scooble

990
00:47:15,000 --> 00:47:17,200
Speaker 2: is a guy who is now on the market, who

991
00:47:17,239 --> 00:47:21,400
Speaker 2: is now an unrestricted free agent, not next year, not

992
00:47:21,520 --> 00:47:25,320
Speaker 2: the year after, not the year after, twenty twenty sevent

993
00:47:25,400 --> 00:47:28,840
Speaker 2: He's currently making a bit over seven hundred thousand dollars

994
00:47:28,920 --> 00:47:31,480
Speaker 2: a year. Yes, he has a three eight eight eer,

995
00:47:31,719 --> 00:47:34,400
Speaker 2: but the peripherals look great and he is their only

996
00:47:34,560 --> 00:47:39,040
Speaker 2: good picture at the moment, so it seems trivial to

997
00:47:39,200 --> 00:47:44,600
Speaker 2: even mock trade for him. But the Tigers are listening,

998
00:47:44,920 --> 00:47:48,320
Speaker 2: so it is worth talking about what a potential package

999
00:47:48,800 --> 00:47:51,680
Speaker 2: could look like for a guy like Trek scoobl because

1000
00:47:51,719 --> 00:47:53,800
Speaker 2: you don't see a guy like this on the market

1001
00:47:53,840 --> 00:47:54,880
Speaker 2: almost ever.

1002
00:47:56,000 --> 00:47:57,839
Speaker 1: Yeah, what was weird about it too. Is It wasn't

1003
00:47:57,960 --> 00:48:00,400
Speaker 1: just like similar to the Marlin situation where it was

1004
00:48:00,600 --> 00:48:03,920
Speaker 1: Marlin's listening on anybody. It was like he was specifically

1005
00:48:04,040 --> 00:48:06,440
Speaker 1: named in the report. It was like, they're listening on

1006
00:48:06,560 --> 00:48:10,239
Speaker 1: Tarik Scooble. So I was like, what, you know, I

1007
00:48:11,160 --> 00:48:14,480
Speaker 1: can understand the approach of where as a front office

1008
00:48:14,560 --> 00:48:18,240
Speaker 1: right now, we will listen to anything right which.

1009
00:48:18,040 --> 00:48:21,080
Speaker 2: Is specific probably what they should do. And it's the

1010
00:48:21,200 --> 00:48:24,719
Speaker 2: Alavila Their GM declined to comment. He's got to be

1011
00:48:24,760 --> 00:48:25,960
Speaker 2: one of the worst gms in baseball.

1012
00:48:26,200 --> 00:48:28,279
Speaker 1: He's got to be. And also deconing to comment kind

1013
00:48:28,320 --> 00:48:30,600
Speaker 1: of just tells you what you need to know. If

1014
00:48:30,600 --> 00:48:32,759
Speaker 1: you weren't trading Schooble, you'd be like, oh no, no, no, no, no,

1015
00:48:33,120 --> 00:48:35,200
Speaker 1: we're not trading Schooble like that. You know you would

1016
00:48:35,200 --> 00:48:38,080
Speaker 1: comment on that. So I don't understand why you would

1017
00:48:38,080 --> 00:48:41,799
Speaker 1: trade a lefty who is proven to at the very

1018
00:48:41,920 --> 00:48:45,279
Speaker 1: least be this which is a high threes, high strikeout

1019
00:48:45,560 --> 00:48:49,160
Speaker 1: you know, solid left danded bitcher under control until twenty

1020
00:48:49,239 --> 00:48:53,200
Speaker 1: twenty seven, as you mentioned, who will get better surely,

1021
00:48:53,239 --> 00:48:55,680
Speaker 1: and a lot of the peripherals, like you said, point

1022
00:48:55,680 --> 00:48:57,640
Speaker 1: towards him being better than what he's doing right now?

1023
00:48:58,520 --> 00:49:00,920
Speaker 1: Why would you trade that guy when you know, I

1024
00:49:01,320 --> 00:49:04,920
Speaker 1: do feel good about what they're building system wise, pitching

1025
00:49:04,960 --> 00:49:07,800
Speaker 1: like that, you know, getting a Jackson job. Tim Addams

1026
00:49:07,800 --> 00:49:11,719
Speaker 1: development has been really, really strong, Wilmer Flores has been

1027
00:49:11,760 --> 00:49:14,960
Speaker 1: really good. But I mean, come on, riees Oulsen has

1028
00:49:15,000 --> 00:49:18,200
Speaker 1: even been good. But like you're branking on that, you know,

1029
00:49:18,280 --> 00:49:21,480
Speaker 1: I think it's crazy, especially with the struggles of Matt Manning,

1030
00:49:21,480 --> 00:49:22,960
Speaker 1: with the struggles of some of the other guys, with

1031
00:49:23,040 --> 00:49:26,280
Speaker 1: Casey Maiz on the il, you know, with Tommy John surgery,

1032
00:49:27,120 --> 00:49:29,440
Speaker 1: what are you training Schooble for? The only way I

1033
00:49:29,440 --> 00:49:31,640
Speaker 1: would do it is in that mock trade like a Moreno.

1034
00:49:31,960 --> 00:49:33,640
Speaker 1: I think you've got to seriously consider that.

1035
00:49:35,440 --> 00:49:37,319
Speaker 2: But the Blue Jays ain't doing that, are they.

1036
00:49:38,719 --> 00:49:40,960
Speaker 1: How desperate are they? I don't I don't think they're

1037
00:49:41,000 --> 00:49:43,640
Speaker 1: doing it. But how desperate are they? They need pitching

1038
00:49:43,800 --> 00:49:47,279
Speaker 1: bad and now they get one that lasts them till

1039
00:49:47,320 --> 00:49:51,200
Speaker 1: twenty twenty seven. Yeah, you got to consider that. If

1040
00:49:51,239 --> 00:49:53,960
Speaker 1: you're the Jays, you know, you've got Danny Jansen and

1041
00:49:53,960 --> 00:49:58,239
Speaker 1: you've got Alejandro Kirk. I know you love Moreno, but

1042
00:49:58,400 --> 00:50:04,080
Speaker 1: from a team perspective, the subtraction to addition. It does

1043
00:50:04,200 --> 00:50:07,120
Speaker 1: make sense, but how many other teams can really offer that.

1044
00:50:07,239 --> 00:50:09,360
Speaker 1: I don't really see that many other trade partners that

1045
00:50:09,400 --> 00:50:10,440
Speaker 1: make sense in that regard.

1046
00:50:10,960 --> 00:50:13,280
Speaker 2: I know, I think teams are gonna find it difficult

1047
00:50:13,320 --> 00:50:15,000
Speaker 2: to say, you know what, we're going to trade our

1048
00:50:15,080 --> 00:50:19,799
Speaker 2: best prospect in our system, Like think about it. You know,

1049
00:50:20,400 --> 00:50:23,000
Speaker 2: if you're unaware, maybe you know you're a Yankee fan

1050
00:50:23,120 --> 00:50:25,960
Speaker 2: who doesn't know who gabral moreno is. Imagine trading Anthony

1051
00:50:26,040 --> 00:50:29,360
Speaker 2: Volpi for Terrek Scoobel right now, Or you go to

1052
00:50:29,400 --> 00:50:33,160
Speaker 2: the Mets and say, imagine trading Francisco Alvarez for Terrek Scooble.

1053
00:50:33,760 --> 00:50:35,840
Speaker 2: It just doesn't sound right.

1054
00:50:35,800 --> 00:50:41,080
Speaker 1: Like you're like, it's weird. You know you're probably gonna

1055
00:50:41,080 --> 00:50:43,520
Speaker 1: regret it in the future, but you can like understand it.

1056
00:50:43,719 --> 00:50:47,880
Speaker 1: I guess I just I don't want to be a

1057
00:50:47,880 --> 00:50:51,360
Speaker 1: prospect Tuger. I always I always push back on that

1058
00:50:51,440 --> 00:50:55,440
Speaker 1: because the prospects, you're getting a guaranteed good, good player,

1059
00:50:55,520 --> 00:50:57,359
Speaker 1: right and you don't know what the prospect's gonna be.

1060
00:50:57,520 --> 00:50:59,800
Speaker 1: But when you enter this echelon of like the elite

1061
00:50:59,800 --> 00:51:02,560
Speaker 1: of the elite prospects, generally speaking, you know, it's got

1062
00:51:02,600 --> 00:51:05,600
Speaker 1: to really make sense. I think very few teams like

1063
00:51:05,640 --> 00:51:08,000
Speaker 1: the Yankees don't need it. The Ja's might be that

1064
00:51:08,120 --> 00:51:11,400
Speaker 1: desperate and it helps them for the for the foreseeable

1065
00:51:11,440 --> 00:51:14,839
Speaker 1: future as well. The J's that moreno trade I think

1066
00:51:14,920 --> 00:51:19,839
Speaker 1: makes so much sense anybody else. Maybe the Dodgers could

1067
00:51:19,880 --> 00:51:22,600
Speaker 1: put something together, because fuck the Dodgers.

1068
00:51:22,800 --> 00:51:23,839
Speaker 2: They could do whatever they want.

1069
00:51:23,880 --> 00:51:26,520
Speaker 1: They could do whatever the hell they want. That's about it.

1070
00:51:26,840 --> 00:51:29,920
Speaker 2: And I almost feel like sometimes you might listen to

1071
00:51:29,960 --> 00:51:32,400
Speaker 2: this podcast if you're listening and think that we're anti Dodgers,

1072
00:51:32,480 --> 00:51:36,280
Speaker 2: it's just that they are in such an them place.

1073
00:51:37,000 --> 00:51:40,160
Speaker 2: I love them as a franchise. Oh yeah, they do

1074
00:51:40,360 --> 00:51:42,160
Speaker 2: everything perfect.

1075
00:51:43,239 --> 00:51:46,000
Speaker 1: It's like that really good looking nice guy that you're

1076
00:51:46,040 --> 00:51:48,359
Speaker 1: just like, fuck that dude, even though you like him,

1077
00:51:48,400 --> 00:51:51,240
Speaker 1: and it's just like he's good looking, smart and nice,

1078
00:51:51,360 --> 00:51:54,399
Speaker 1: like like what the fuck? Like that's the Dodgers. It's

1079
00:51:54,400 --> 00:51:57,360
Speaker 1: just like it's annoying how perfect they are.

1080
00:51:58,440 --> 00:52:01,560
Speaker 2: Another example, Gavin Law is a guy who maybe they

1081
00:52:01,600 --> 00:52:05,240
Speaker 2: could have missed on. That was their top snope. Dustin

1082
00:52:05,320 --> 00:52:07,319
Speaker 2: may maybe on the shelf, but he's gonna come back

1083
00:52:07,400 --> 00:52:10,480
Speaker 2: throwing turbo sinkers. You got a problem in the bullpena

1084
00:52:10,600 --> 00:52:13,520
Speaker 2: Trianon is coming back. They can make any trade they want.

1085
00:52:13,560 --> 00:52:15,480
Speaker 2: They one of the best farm systems in baseball. They

1086
00:52:15,480 --> 00:52:18,040
Speaker 2: have the highest payroll. They live in sunny LA, where

1087
00:52:18,080 --> 00:52:21,120
Speaker 2: the stadium is packed with fifty thousand fans who all

1088
00:52:21,160 --> 00:52:25,040
Speaker 2: love their team to death. They're a perfect organization. Who

1089
00:52:25,120 --> 00:52:27,280
Speaker 2: is I know you could say, you know they've choked

1090
00:52:27,280 --> 00:52:29,959
Speaker 2: in the playoffs. You know, you could say. I also

1091
00:52:30,040 --> 00:52:32,800
Speaker 2: hate this point, the Mickey Mouse title in twenty twenty.

1092
00:52:33,000 --> 00:52:34,880
Speaker 2: I hate that. Even in the NBA too, with the

1093
00:52:34,960 --> 00:52:38,800
Speaker 2: Lebron Lakers. That doesn't make any sense to me. Every

1094
00:52:38,920 --> 00:52:42,040
Speaker 2: team was under the same rules. It's not that the

1095
00:52:42,120 --> 00:52:45,480
Speaker 2: Dodgers came in middle of the season in one sixty two,

1096
00:52:45,480 --> 00:52:48,440
Speaker 2: only played sixty and then made it to the title. No,

1097
00:52:48,920 --> 00:52:52,360
Speaker 2: they were all under the same yeah thing, Like I

1098
00:52:52,760 --> 00:52:55,280
Speaker 2: never understood that. So the Dodgers are just so perfect.

1099
00:52:55,320 --> 00:52:57,080
Speaker 2: So when we say fuck the Dodgers and all this

1100
00:52:57,160 --> 00:53:00,160
Speaker 2: kind of stuff now, because you can't, you literally cannot

1101
00:53:00,160 --> 00:53:02,680
Speaker 2: any better than what the Dodgers have done over these

1102
00:53:02,680 --> 00:53:04,000
Speaker 2: pasts like half decade.

1103
00:53:04,080 --> 00:53:06,960
Speaker 1: Now. It's funny because they have so many players that like,

1104
00:53:06,960 --> 00:53:08,719
Speaker 1: when I dive into the Dodgers system, It's one of

1105
00:53:08,719 --> 00:53:10,960
Speaker 1: my favorite systems to dive into when I watch them

1106
00:53:10,960 --> 00:53:13,040
Speaker 1: at the big league level. I'm excited when the Dodgers

1107
00:53:13,040 --> 00:53:15,759
Speaker 1: cames on, like I love the Dodgers and when they

1108
00:53:15,760 --> 00:53:17,719
Speaker 1: bring to baseball, but at the same time, fuck them

1109
00:53:17,760 --> 00:53:19,839
Speaker 1: because it's annoying how good they are. And that's that's

1110
00:53:19,840 --> 00:53:21,480
Speaker 1: what I mean by when I say fuck the.

1111
00:53:21,480 --> 00:53:24,960
Speaker 2: Dodgers exactly like normal people would just be like, fuck

1112
00:53:24,960 --> 00:53:28,200
Speaker 2: the Yankees. No, no, fuck the Dodgers. Yeah, the worst version

1113
00:53:28,239 --> 00:53:29,400
Speaker 2: of the Yanke the Yankees.

1114
00:53:29,440 --> 00:53:31,640
Speaker 1: The Yankees give you enough entertainment with the way that

1115
00:53:31,680 --> 00:53:34,080
Speaker 1: they they've flounder. I know that, I know the Dodgers choke,

1116
00:53:34,120 --> 00:53:35,920
Speaker 1: but it's not it's not as funny. It's not as

1117
00:53:35,920 --> 00:53:36,799
Speaker 1: funny when they choke.

1118
00:53:37,000 --> 00:53:42,839
Speaker 2: It really isn't. So any other thoughts on the Schooble situation, because.

1119
00:53:42,880 --> 00:53:45,400
Speaker 1: I don't think there's a team that's really I don't

1120
00:53:45,440 --> 00:53:48,240
Speaker 1: think the teams that are able to do it will

1121
00:53:48,760 --> 00:53:51,160
Speaker 1: unless it's the Jays. It's the only team that seems

1122
00:53:51,160 --> 00:53:55,200
Speaker 1: desperate enough. Even the Cardinals, I don't think they're that desperate.

1123
00:53:55,520 --> 00:53:57,560
Speaker 1: I just don't think there's a team desperate enough to

1124
00:53:57,600 --> 00:53:59,680
Speaker 1: pay for you don't see a pitchure with that many

1125
00:53:59,719 --> 00:54:02,160
Speaker 1: years of control ever hit the market. I don't really

1126
00:54:02,239 --> 00:54:04,840
Speaker 1: understand how a team could put together a package that

1127
00:54:04,880 --> 00:54:05,359
Speaker 1: makes sense.

1128
00:54:05,800 --> 00:54:08,680
Speaker 2: Totally agree. Let's move on to question number seven. The

1129
00:54:08,760 --> 00:54:12,920
Speaker 2: Diamondbacks have a great future with Drew Jones, Corbyn Carroll,

1130
00:54:13,080 --> 00:54:16,120
Speaker 2: Alec Thomas and Jordan Lawler. What do you think about

1131
00:54:16,160 --> 00:54:19,640
Speaker 2: trading Zach Gallon or Merrill Kelly for some infield help

1132
00:54:19,719 --> 00:54:23,719
Speaker 2: like Nolan Gorman or Jordan Walker from the Cardinals. Also,

1133
00:54:24,000 --> 00:54:27,120
Speaker 2: there was a couple of questions about Stone Garrett, who's

1134
00:54:27,719 --> 00:54:31,600
Speaker 2: breaking for them in the minor leagues. That was asked

1135
00:54:31,600 --> 00:54:33,399
Speaker 2: by a couple of different people, but the main one

1136
00:54:33,440 --> 00:54:38,120
Speaker 2: was asked by Andrew Brimley on Twitter. First, let's just

1137
00:54:38,160 --> 00:54:40,680
Speaker 2: touch on Stone Garrett for a second. What have you

1138
00:54:40,760 --> 00:54:43,080
Speaker 2: seen from him? And then we'll move on to potential

1139
00:54:43,160 --> 00:54:44,120
Speaker 2: Diamondback steals.

1140
00:54:44,360 --> 00:54:47,520
Speaker 1: You want to know something funny about Stone Garrett. I

1141
00:54:48,560 --> 00:54:50,680
Speaker 1: can dig up some tweets from a couple of years

1142
00:54:50,680 --> 00:54:53,520
Speaker 1: ago where I was like Stone Garrett, you know, dark

1143
00:54:53,560 --> 00:54:57,000
Speaker 1: horse in the Marlins system, blah blah blah, but just

1144
00:54:57,040 --> 00:55:00,640
Speaker 1: he never kind of like really took the next level. Harland, Yep,

1145
00:55:01,200 --> 00:55:05,720
Speaker 1: they let him walk in minor league free agency, meaning

1146
00:55:05,719 --> 00:55:08,000
Speaker 1: that they didn't even tender him a minor league contract,

1147
00:55:08,120 --> 00:55:10,120
Speaker 1: said no, you're good, he can walk that, or he

1148
00:55:10,239 --> 00:55:12,759
Speaker 1: just wanted out and sign. So he signs with the Diamondbacks.

1149
00:55:12,800 --> 00:55:14,279
Speaker 1: This is his first year or second year in a

1150
00:55:14,320 --> 00:55:17,759
Speaker 1: new system, and he is going off. He made some

1151
00:55:17,800 --> 00:55:22,920
Speaker 1: small swing adjustments, he adjusted his approach, and you know,

1152
00:55:22,960 --> 00:55:26,600
Speaker 1: now he's really just locked in on hunting fastballs. He's

1153
00:55:26,680 --> 00:55:29,400
Speaker 1: laying off breaking balls better than ever. His swing is

1154
00:55:29,440 --> 00:55:32,920
Speaker 1: more efficient, his moves are simpler, and all of a sudden,

1155
00:55:32,960 --> 00:55:37,719
Speaker 1: now he is putting up a ridiculous season and in

1156
00:55:37,800 --> 00:55:41,080
Speaker 1: Triple A right now for the Dbacks. It's just so classic.

1157
00:55:41,320 --> 00:55:43,880
Speaker 1: It's so classic. But we're gonna see him get a chance.

1158
00:55:44,120 --> 00:55:46,880
Speaker 1: I think once David Peralta gets dealt, they'll give him

1159
00:55:46,920 --> 00:55:50,000
Speaker 1: a shot. Dominic Fletcher is another guy that's been raking

1160
00:55:50,040 --> 00:55:54,080
Speaker 1: in that system. System's good. And that's the thing is

1161
00:55:55,040 --> 00:55:57,600
Speaker 1: do they need to trade both? Maybe one of them?

1162
00:55:57,640 --> 00:55:59,759
Speaker 1: I wouldn't trade both, And do they even need to

1163
00:55:59,760 --> 00:56:01,799
Speaker 1: trade one of them? Like what if they held on

1164
00:56:01,880 --> 00:56:05,279
Speaker 1: to them? Are the d Backs that far off? That's

1165
00:56:05,320 --> 00:56:08,880
Speaker 1: the question, Like what do the d Backs? I was

1166
00:56:08,920 --> 00:56:10,640
Speaker 1: thinking about this the other day, like maybe you trade

1167
00:56:10,680 --> 00:56:13,799
Speaker 1: a Christian Walker. But I mean, like Alec Thomas is up,

1168
00:56:13,880 --> 00:56:17,440
Speaker 1: Corbyn Carroll is gonna be up next year, Cantel Martes

1169
00:56:17,480 --> 00:56:21,040
Speaker 1: locked up. They've got some good pieces, Carson Kelly, Dalton

1170
00:56:21,120 --> 00:56:23,600
Speaker 1: VARs show like, this is a good young team. The

1171
00:56:23,680 --> 00:56:26,279
Speaker 1: pitching is is starting to come together better than it

1172
00:56:26,280 --> 00:56:28,480
Speaker 1: ever did, and they've got young pitching prospects that are

1173
00:56:28,520 --> 00:56:30,120
Speaker 1: starting to make their way to the big league level.

1174
00:56:31,640 --> 00:56:33,879
Speaker 1: Do you just kind of start to move forward here?

1175
00:56:34,080 --> 00:56:37,880
Speaker 1: I don't know. I would consider not trading those guys.

1176
00:56:37,960 --> 00:56:40,239
Speaker 1: I wouldn't be shocked if the D back stand pat.

1177
00:56:40,440 --> 00:56:42,560
Speaker 2: I wouldn't be shocked if the D back stand pat either.

1178
00:56:42,600 --> 00:56:44,920
Speaker 2: But I do think that they can cash in on

1179
00:56:45,120 --> 00:56:46,360
Speaker 2: Merril Kelly.

1180
00:56:46,239 --> 00:56:48,160
Speaker 1: Kelly, I'm okay, I say hold on to Gallen.

1181
00:56:48,400 --> 00:56:51,080
Speaker 2: I would hold onto Gallon too, because what do you

1182
00:56:51,880 --> 00:56:55,839
Speaker 2: what do you think Gallen is? Is Gallen? I don't

1183
00:56:55,880 --> 00:57:00,799
Speaker 2: think Gallen's an ace. No, is he a who in

1184
00:57:00,880 --> 00:57:03,360
Speaker 2: a playoff rotation? I don't even know about that either.

1185
00:57:03,800 --> 00:57:07,960
Speaker 2: I think he's a really, really strong three. So I

1186
00:57:08,120 --> 00:57:11,320
Speaker 2: still think that you need more pitching. But at the

1187
00:57:11,400 --> 00:57:14,120
Speaker 2: end of the day, Meryl Kelly is thirty three years old,

1188
00:57:14,480 --> 00:57:17,200
Speaker 2: and it's probably time to just move off him. Cash

1189
00:57:17,280 --> 00:57:20,360
Speaker 2: in on a Meryl Kelly right now and is three

1190
00:57:20,400 --> 00:57:24,400
Speaker 2: point zero four era. I mean even all the expected stats,

1191
00:57:24,440 --> 00:57:26,320
Speaker 2: like everything looks great. That's why I think he'd be

1192
00:57:26,360 --> 00:57:28,680
Speaker 2: a great addition for somebody at the deadline. But I

1193
00:57:28,760 --> 00:57:30,760
Speaker 2: just don't know if he works into your future. Maybe

1194
00:57:30,760 --> 00:57:32,840
Speaker 2: he does because he doesn't rely on high v low.

1195
00:57:33,040 --> 00:57:34,960
Speaker 2: He's a command guy. I don't think that's just gonna

1196
00:57:35,040 --> 00:57:39,040
Speaker 2: leave him anytime soon. But it's also funny. I mean,

1197
00:57:39,080 --> 00:57:41,760
Speaker 2: twenty nineteen, when he was thirty years old, was his

1198
00:57:41,800 --> 00:57:44,800
Speaker 2: first season in Major League Baseball, so he might not

1199
00:57:44,880 --> 00:57:47,720
Speaker 2: have as many innings under his belt as a lot

1200
00:57:47,720 --> 00:57:49,960
Speaker 2: of people think he does at age thirty three. You know,

1201
00:57:50,000 --> 00:57:51,840
Speaker 2: could he be a guy who really does last a

1202
00:57:51,880 --> 00:57:55,240
Speaker 2: while with the Diamondbacks and eats up innings for them

1203
00:57:55,280 --> 00:57:56,720
Speaker 2: for a long time guy.

1204
00:57:56,760 --> 00:57:59,120
Speaker 1: He's a sneaky thirty three right.

1205
00:57:59,280 --> 00:58:04,480
Speaker 2: Like he is is older than Bumgarner, which is insane

1206
00:58:05,000 --> 00:58:06,360
Speaker 2: that you would.

1207
00:58:06,600 --> 00:58:09,320
Speaker 1: You would, You would stump so many people on that question,

1208
00:58:10,720 --> 00:58:13,840
Speaker 1: like who's older, Merrill Kelly or Madison Bumgarner? Like are

1209
00:58:13,840 --> 00:58:16,720
Speaker 1: you serious? I wouldn't even blink and i'd say mad bumb.

1210
00:58:16,920 --> 00:58:20,400
Speaker 2: I think that Bum's thrown thousands of innings.

1211
00:58:20,600 --> 00:58:24,800
Speaker 1: Yes, correct, No, I agree, I think Carol or sorry,

1212
00:58:24,920 --> 00:58:28,040
Speaker 1: Kelly is a guy that you could be okay with

1213
00:58:28,120 --> 00:58:31,240
Speaker 1: trading then, noting that he is well over thirty years old, Gallan,

1214
00:58:31,280 --> 00:58:33,080
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't see a need to trade him.

1215
00:58:33,760 --> 00:58:35,360
Speaker 1: I think that's a guy you can you can hold

1216
00:58:35,400 --> 00:58:38,200
Speaker 1: on to. But if the return and look at the market, dude,

1217
00:58:38,200 --> 00:58:43,320
Speaker 1: there's not that many good controllable pitchers on the market.

1218
00:58:43,960 --> 00:58:46,920
Speaker 1: I think Kelly could be an interesting guy for them

1219
00:58:47,320 --> 00:58:49,360
Speaker 1: to potentially look to trade, and I think that he

1220
00:58:49,400 --> 00:58:51,280
Speaker 1: could bring in a good return. Other than that, I

1221
00:58:51,280 --> 00:58:53,439
Speaker 1: don't think they need to go crazy trade Peralta, trade

1222
00:58:53,480 --> 00:58:56,200
Speaker 1: a couple pieces here and there. Uh and maybe Walker

1223
00:58:56,240 --> 00:58:58,560
Speaker 1: and go from there. But uh, I would keep Gallon.

1224
00:58:59,080 --> 00:59:01,680
Speaker 1: It's so hard to find good pitching the Dbacks have

1225
00:59:01,680 --> 00:59:04,160
Speaker 1: struggled to do, so they swap Jazz for Gallon for

1226
00:59:04,200 --> 00:59:06,560
Speaker 1: a reason, hold on a Gallon.

1227
00:59:06,840 --> 00:59:09,040
Speaker 2: But I see why the question was asked because they

1228
00:59:09,040 --> 00:59:12,480
Speaker 2: do need infield help. Because he need a guy like Geraldo.

1229
00:59:12,560 --> 00:59:13,920
Speaker 2: Perdomo is not the answer.

1230
00:59:14,160 --> 00:59:14,600
Speaker 1: No, I don't.

1231
00:59:14,600 --> 00:59:17,160
Speaker 2: I don't love Josh Rojas might be the answer. It

1232
00:59:17,160 --> 00:59:19,440
Speaker 2: could be okay for like a good utility guy, like

1233
00:59:19,480 --> 00:59:23,680
Speaker 2: he's been better, but it's second base. I mean if

1234
00:59:23,720 --> 00:59:26,200
Speaker 2: Cautel Martee isn't playing there and he's playing in the outfield,

1235
00:59:26,200 --> 00:59:29,560
Speaker 2: which maybe he moves back to second with all of

1236
00:59:29,600 --> 00:59:31,520
Speaker 2: these outfielders, may probably makes sense.

1237
00:59:31,600 --> 00:59:33,600
Speaker 1: But maybe they do an old like one of the

1238
00:59:33,720 --> 00:59:37,440
Speaker 1: unique trades where you package a prospect, an outfield prospect

1239
00:59:37,480 --> 00:59:39,720
Speaker 1: like a Dominic Fletcher with a Christian Walker to get

1240
00:59:39,760 --> 00:59:43,040
Speaker 1: a higher profile infield prospect, Like maybe that's something you do.

1241
00:59:43,120 --> 00:59:45,840
Speaker 1: What I do think that Kelly is the easiest way

1242
00:59:45,880 --> 00:59:47,640
Speaker 1: to get an infield prospect, but they might be able

1243
00:59:47,680 --> 00:59:49,440
Speaker 1: to get one with with you know, some of the

1244
00:59:49,480 --> 00:59:52,040
Speaker 1: other guys that they can part with. So I think

1245
00:59:52,120 --> 00:59:54,760
Speaker 1: Kelly's that guy that can really get you the biggest return.

1246
00:59:54,960 --> 00:59:56,720
Speaker 1: But maybe they can pull it off in another way

1247
00:59:57,000 --> 00:59:58,840
Speaker 1: while wear is far away, and that is that is

1248
00:59:58,880 --> 01:00:01,320
Speaker 1: kind of the annoying part about the field situation. They're

1249
01:00:01,400 --> 01:00:03,840
Speaker 1: so loaded in the outfield, So maybe moving from a

1250
01:00:03,840 --> 01:00:07,720
Speaker 1: Fletcher or Stone Garrett type and doing a prospect for

1251
01:00:07,800 --> 01:00:10,000
Speaker 1: prospect kind of deal too could be an option for them.

1252
01:00:10,280 --> 01:00:14,280
Speaker 2: Absolutely. Let's move into our last question question number eight.

1253
01:00:14,280 --> 01:00:16,440
Speaker 2: This is a good one about baseball cards. And it

1254
01:00:16,520 --> 01:00:18,640
Speaker 2: makes sense because we will be doing a break with

1255
01:00:19,320 --> 01:00:22,280
Speaker 2: wild cards, trading our boys, Tea and Kendle. They're going

1256
01:00:22,320 --> 01:00:26,080
Speaker 2: to be breaking on the Whatnot app pulling the new

1257
01:00:26,120 --> 01:00:30,680
Speaker 2: twenty twenty two Bowman hobby box. That's going to be

1258
01:00:30,680 --> 01:00:31,080
Speaker 2: really fun.

1259
01:00:31,120 --> 01:00:32,720
Speaker 1: That's to you, knowing all the words.

1260
01:00:32,880 --> 01:00:35,440
Speaker 2: I'm getting there. I'm getting there. You know, I'm really

1261
01:00:35,520 --> 01:00:37,800
Speaker 2: collecting all these cards and it's so much fun, and

1262
01:00:37,800 --> 01:00:40,160
Speaker 2: I'm learning to lingo. I'm getting better. And if you're

1263
01:00:40,280 --> 01:00:42,800
Speaker 2: like me and want to just have some fun, might

1264
01:00:42,800 --> 01:00:45,000
Speaker 2: as well get that free ten dollars gift card in

1265
01:00:45,080 --> 01:00:48,040
Speaker 2: the episode description to Whatnot and just hang out during

1266
01:00:48,040 --> 01:00:50,600
Speaker 2: the break and let's talk baseball cards. And this one

1267
01:00:50,640 --> 01:00:52,440
Speaker 2: I'm obviously going to throw over to you because you've

1268
01:00:52,440 --> 01:00:54,600
Speaker 2: been doing this now for a very long time. So

1269
01:00:54,720 --> 01:00:57,520
Speaker 2: question number eight, I recently found my childhood collection of

1270
01:00:57,560 --> 01:01:00,480
Speaker 2: baseball cards. What things do I look for or in

1271
01:01:00,480 --> 01:01:03,480
Speaker 2: those cards to see if they have any value to sell?

1272
01:01:03,800 --> 01:01:07,520
Speaker 2: That was asked by Jared Cochran on Twitter. So let's

1273
01:01:07,560 --> 01:01:10,800
Speaker 2: say I give you a big trader Joe's bag full

1274
01:01:10,840 --> 01:01:13,640
Speaker 2: of baseball cards. It's all over the place I found

1275
01:01:13,640 --> 01:01:16,800
Speaker 2: them in my basement. What are what's some advice that

1276
01:01:16,840 --> 01:01:19,560
Speaker 2: you're giving me on what to look for through those?

1277
01:01:20,080 --> 01:01:24,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, so I'm assuming Jared Cochran's not eighty five years old,

1278
01:01:24,640 --> 01:01:27,160
Speaker 1: So the childhood cards are not from the nineteen thirties

1279
01:01:27,240 --> 01:01:31,520
Speaker 1: or forties, you know, if it's modern cards. Number one

1280
01:01:31,520 --> 01:01:33,680
Speaker 1: thing is, you know, it has to be a rookie card,

1281
01:01:33,880 --> 01:01:38,200
Speaker 1: right like it just the cards today are so mass produced,

1282
01:01:38,360 --> 01:01:40,280
Speaker 1: or were for a while and now they've found ways

1283
01:01:40,280 --> 01:01:41,920
Speaker 1: to kind of, you know, make them a little bit

1284
01:01:41,920 --> 01:01:44,480
Speaker 1: more rare that it has to be a rookie card.

1285
01:01:44,560 --> 01:01:47,320
Speaker 1: So you're looking for, you know, notable players, and you're

1286
01:01:47,320 --> 01:01:50,160
Speaker 1: looking for rookie cards or anything with the word Bowman

1287
01:01:50,280 --> 01:01:53,040
Speaker 1: on it, because that's the prospect cards. And as we know,

1288
01:01:53,320 --> 01:01:56,920
Speaker 1: the Bowman cards are are what everybody's hunting, what everybody's breaking.

1289
01:01:56,960 --> 01:01:59,120
Speaker 1: And you know, you could go back and find like

1290
01:01:59,160 --> 01:02:01,840
Speaker 1: Bryce Harper Bowman cards or I have an Albert Puholst

1291
01:02:01,840 --> 01:02:05,480
Speaker 1: Bowman card that I've held onto for for fifteen years

1292
01:02:05,520 --> 01:02:08,960
Speaker 1: now that I know is appreciated quite nicely. So look

1293
01:02:09,000 --> 01:02:13,080
Speaker 1: for Bowman or the rookie card kind of label on there.

1294
01:02:13,280 --> 01:02:15,560
Speaker 1: The number two is the condition. You know, with the

1295
01:02:15,600 --> 01:02:19,160
Speaker 1: newer cards, they've got to be in pretty pristine condition.

1296
01:02:20,040 --> 01:02:22,040
Speaker 1: But yeah, I think the number one thing that you

1297
01:02:22,120 --> 01:02:24,920
Speaker 1: got to look for is rookie card or bowman and

1298
01:02:24,960 --> 01:02:27,560
Speaker 1: if that's the case, then look that up. You can

1299
01:02:27,600 --> 01:02:32,120
Speaker 1: search the card number on the back and PSA has

1300
01:02:32,160 --> 01:02:34,280
Speaker 1: a really awesome database where I can tell you recent

1301
01:02:34,280 --> 01:02:36,240
Speaker 1: cards that have sold for that amount. You can also

1302
01:02:36,280 --> 01:02:39,640
Speaker 1: look on eBay and get the prices that way. That's

1303
01:02:39,680 --> 01:02:42,120
Speaker 1: the way I've always done it, but I'm always I'm

1304
01:02:42,160 --> 01:02:46,080
Speaker 1: always open to anytime anybody has any questions about their

1305
01:02:46,080 --> 01:02:48,400
Speaker 1: collection or something like that. My dms are open. I

1306
01:02:48,440 --> 01:02:51,040
Speaker 1: try to catch up and keep up on there, and

1307
01:02:51,560 --> 01:02:53,760
Speaker 1: I'm happy to answer any questions there. But definitely look

1308
01:02:53,760 --> 01:02:56,400
Speaker 1: for the rookie cards and then make sure those things

1309
01:02:56,400 --> 01:02:58,920
Speaker 1: are sleeved up. Make sure those things are sleeved up,

1310
01:02:58,920 --> 01:03:01,400
Speaker 1: and then look up the car cards by their description

1311
01:03:01,520 --> 01:03:01,959
Speaker 1: on the back.

1312
01:03:02,800 --> 01:03:05,479
Speaker 2: That'll do it. For this episode of The Just Baseball Show,

1313
01:03:05,480 --> 01:03:07,440
Speaker 2: we only had eight questions, but I do feel like

1314
01:03:07,480 --> 01:03:09,680
Speaker 2: we did a good job talking about basically every team

1315
01:03:09,680 --> 01:03:13,320

1331
01:04:00,160 --> 01:04:02,520

Speaker 1: Yeah we're back, Baby, we're back. He's he's got some

Speaker 1: more free time again. Uh, I've got some more free

1334
01:04:09,600 --> 01:04:13,120
Speaker 1: time and we're covering out a schedule. Awesome episode on

1335
01:04:13,720 --> 01:04:18,280
Speaker 1: Jeff picked a tool from each player, uh, basically that

1336
01:04:18,360 --> 01:04:21,000
Speaker 1: he played against or with to build the ultimate player.

1337
01:04:21,080 --> 01:04:24,439
Speaker 1: So we took you know, one guy's power tool, one

1338
01:04:24,440 --> 01:04:27,640
Speaker 1: guy's hit tool, one guy's speed tool, one guy's base

1339
01:04:27,720 --> 01:04:29,600
Speaker 1: running and it's not all the names you would expect,

1340
01:04:30,240 --> 01:04:32,919
Speaker 1: which was what made it really interesting. And at first

1341
01:04:32,960 --> 01:04:36,200
Speaker 1: I'm like whoa, and then he explained it all and

1342
01:04:36,320 --> 01:04:39,200
Speaker 1: obviously he knows better than us, so I was like,

1343
01:04:39,240 --> 01:04:41,760
Speaker 1: all right, And as he explained it, it was really interesting.

1344
01:04:42,280 --> 01:04:45,400
Speaker 1: So like, that was a really awesome episode. We also

1345
01:04:45,440 --> 01:04:48,720
Speaker 1: got a little bit into the Casianos reporter situation. Obviously

1346
01:04:48,840 --> 01:04:52,040
Speaker 1: Jeff took Casianas aside and that was really funny. So
