We're gonna wrap up 0:01:23.040 --> 0:01:24.920 the relief picture position. I know some people last week 0:01:24.959 --> 0:01:28.760 we're asking us about holds, categories and some relief pictures 0:01:28.760 --> 0:01:30.400 that you can target there, so we'll do some of that. 0:01:30.680 --> 0:01:33.720 We'll also talk to Virginia zakas of inside injuries, get 0:01:33.760 --> 0:01:37.360 some updates on Luis Savarino, obviously the latest there, and 0:01:37.360 --> 0:01:38.800 then the rest of the show, we're really gonna talk 0:01:38.800 --> 0:01:41.319 about some of those injured players and how they're being 0:01:41.440 --> 0:01:43.960 valued thus far through I mean, we have a lot 0:01:44.000 --> 0:01:46.040 of ADP data, so we'll see where a lot of 0:01:46.040 --> 0:01:48.080 those injured players are going, what we expect from them 0:01:48.120 --> 0:01:51.200 this year, when they're gonna return, how they're gonna return, 0:01:51.520 --> 0:01:54.120 what they're gonna contribute, a whole bunch of stuff going on, 0:01:54.400 --> 0:02:01.639 and with that I will come in. Yeah, this is 0:02:01.720 --> 0:02:07.720 the Fantasy best Friends Forever Here the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. 0:02:07.760 --> 0:02:12.800 Frank's Happy Birthday, to the Dawn, to your father, appreciate 0:02:12.840 --> 0:02:16.040 you watching. Did he make the Fantasy basketball playoffs? He's 0:02:16.040 --> 0:02:19.680 gonna make it. We're in two leagues together. He finishes 0:02:19.840 --> 0:02:21.320 one of the top seeds and one of them and 0:02:21.360 --> 0:02:25.840 finished last place in the other one. So listen, he 0:02:25.880 --> 0:02:28.720 went to championship. Well worth it, you know it will be. 0:02:29.520 --> 0:02:31.840 And that is the more expensive league anyway, So all right, 0:02:31.840 --> 0:02:33.360 it's one of that. That's that's the one that matters 0:02:33.400 --> 0:02:35.280 more of course. Uh so, yeah, So on the show 0:02:35.280 --> 0:02:37.240 that I Frank mentioned it, we'll talk to between Zaka 0:02:37.280 --> 0:02:39.000 is inside injuries. We're actually gonna do a whole hour 0:02:39.320 --> 0:02:41.760 on guys that are injured and where do you draft 0:02:41.840 --> 0:02:44.480 them because we always are so hesitant, right like, we 0:02:44.520 --> 0:02:46.320 stay away because we don't know how to deal with 0:02:46.320 --> 0:02:49.240 this and a lot of the times makes sense, I 0:02:49.280 --> 0:02:52.239 get it, but some of the times you're getting a 0:02:52.280 --> 0:02:54.239 nazed discounts on these guys. So we're gonna take a 0:02:54.280 --> 0:02:56.720 look at some where some of these injured guys are 0:02:56.840 --> 0:02:59.799 going and see what we can do. So that's kind 0:02:59.800 --> 0:03:02.000 of the injured guys, um. But I wanted to start 0:03:02.000 --> 0:03:04.280 almost where we left off yesterday, frankief you didn't mind 0:03:05.320 --> 0:03:09.200 and relievers, Like we did a lot of these guys 0:03:09.240 --> 0:03:11.440 that get saves and the quantity, and we made it 0:03:11.480 --> 0:03:13.480 through all the ones we wanted to. Shockingly like, we 0:03:13.520 --> 0:03:15.560 did a really nice job over the two hours going 0:03:15.600 --> 0:03:19.120 over all the relievers. But we also got some breaking news. 0:03:20.639 --> 0:03:25.760 It is rosel To injured, removed from the lineup today 0:03:26.000 --> 0:03:32.400 dealing with side soreness. General left side soreness. Removed from 0:03:32.400 --> 0:03:35.760 the line of today. Alex Bregman, another one removed from 0:03:35.760 --> 0:03:38.440 the line up yesterday, was dealing with a back injury. 0:03:38.600 --> 0:03:41.520 So the Houston Astros here we go. I think it's 0:03:41.520 --> 0:03:44.080 a it's a great day to talk about injuries because 0:03:44.080 --> 0:03:46.960 now we're getting even more Greg so mosel To already 0:03:47.000 --> 0:03:48.560 a guy that I was kind of avoiding. I don't 0:03:48.560 --> 0:03:50.840 know about you. I did this little right up for 0:03:50.880 --> 0:03:53.320 Fantasy Pros where they asked a bunch of experts. That 0:03:53.320 --> 0:03:56.920 would be me. I'm an expert. Um ask you know who, 0:03:56.960 --> 0:03:59.280 who's a player going in a hitter going inside the 0:03:59.320 --> 0:04:02.360 top third hitters? Oh, you were avoiding and why? And 0:04:02.520 --> 0:04:05.840 my pick was and my reason was, I don't think 0:04:05.840 --> 0:04:07.200 that he's going to run as much as he has 0:04:08.120 --> 0:04:11.840 before last year, basis in each of his last six seasons. 0:04:11.960 --> 0:04:13.600 I just if he's not gonna give you thirty store 0:04:13.600 --> 0:04:15.760 basis or even close at thirty store basis, if he's 0:04:15.760 --> 0:04:18.560 not even given twenty stolen basis, is he returning that 0:04:18.600 --> 0:04:20.719 you know, early second round value. And now we're already 0:04:20.720 --> 0:04:23.720 dealing with a with a left side injury for for 0:04:23.839 --> 0:04:27.039 Josale two Bay two, So I just thought I'd keep 0:04:27.160 --> 0:04:29.840 keep the injury news going. Greg sprinkle that on top 0:04:29.880 --> 0:04:33.840 here a little. I don't know what is that Injury Bay, 0:04:34.040 --> 0:04:38.480 Salt Bay? No, you don't like that Salt Bay school. 0:04:38.600 --> 0:04:40.919 I've never did. I've never been there. I kind of 0:04:40.960 --> 0:04:43.400 wanted to, I've never done. Is he still a thing? 0:04:43.800 --> 0:04:46.960 I think so. I know a lot of like famous athletes. 0:04:47.000 --> 0:04:48.760 Go visit his restaurant wherever it is. I don't know 0:04:48.760 --> 0:04:52.360 where it is. I've looked him on Instagram. He first 0:04:52.360 --> 0:04:55.040 of all, he's hilarious. He owns the Salt Bay thing 0:04:55.880 --> 0:05:00.160 and owns it. Every single post that he puts on Instagram, 0:05:00.200 --> 0:05:04.280 there's like hashtag salt, hashtag salt. But like ease, he 0:05:04.320 --> 0:05:08.760 embraces the brand. Maybe you should embrace like sasamania. Morow 0:05:09.440 --> 0:05:11.479 not gonna start yelling about stuffing. No, no no, it says, 0:05:11.520 --> 0:05:13.880 everyone yells me. Just stop yelling. I'm just like, okay, 0:05:13.920 --> 0:05:16.760 that's true. The happy medium. There is no happy medium 0:05:16.760 --> 0:05:20.440 for great, there's not either. He's you know today, Greg's 0:05:20.480 --> 0:05:23.000 a little like lax. He's like maybe a little tired. 0:05:23.000 --> 0:05:26.880 Have you sleep us now? You're right better than I happen? Alright, 0:05:26.880 --> 0:05:29.200 because you seem a little like down. I mean today 0:05:29.320 --> 0:05:32.640 I think I'm getting this right, Murphy's law. Anything that 0:05:32.720 --> 0:05:35.400 can go wrong will go wrong. Pretty much. The theme 0:05:35.440 --> 0:05:37.919 of today so far hasn't been a great day, hasn't 0:05:37.960 --> 0:05:42.640 been a great day, has been a great week. Hopefully 0:05:42.640 --> 0:05:44.400 that turns around because you know, we got some drafts 0:05:44.400 --> 0:05:46.800 coming up that we need to uh study up on together. 0:05:46.839 --> 0:05:50.159 We have an auction next Thursday. I think tomorrow tomorrow 0:05:50.200 --> 0:05:52.000 after work, I think things will turn around for me. 0:05:52.040 --> 0:05:55.359 I'm going to a brewery in Brooklyn. You know you 0:05:55.360 --> 0:05:58.599 have plans tomorrow. Um but and this is a pity invite, 0:05:58.600 --> 0:06:01.120 by the way, just real wise that, oh, Frank, you 0:06:01.120 --> 0:06:04.400 live close to bok. I actually was not hearing about 0:06:04.400 --> 0:06:08.480 it right now. I was actually going tom So yesterday 0:06:08.680 --> 0:06:10.520 as we were leaving, you said, hey, we really got 0:06:10.520 --> 0:06:12.640 to come up with the time to go over the 0:06:12.680 --> 0:06:15.640 draft so to do some research and sit and talk. 0:06:15.680 --> 0:06:17.880 And I'm at that moment occurred to me, was like, Hey, 0:06:18.400 --> 0:06:20.480 I'm gonna frank out if you want to doing Friday 0:06:20.560 --> 0:06:22.960 night because it's gonna be well relatively close to where 0:06:22.960 --> 0:06:25.560 he lives. We like drinking beer. This is a perfect 0:06:25.560 --> 0:06:29.760 opportunity to do this. What are you doing this? Grim Brewery? 0:06:30.160 --> 0:06:32.880 Grim Brewery? I never heard of it. It's like a 0:06:32.920 --> 0:06:39.719 half hour from here. M yeah, Metropolitan not it's not 0:06:39.760 --> 0:06:42.560 too far, not far from me at all. You wanna come, 0:06:43.520 --> 0:06:47.760 uh before you go wherever you do whatever you're doing, No, 0:06:47.920 --> 0:06:49.840 because that wouldn't really make sense because of what I 0:06:49.920 --> 0:06:52.680 have to do is the city. So yeah, I go 0:06:52.720 --> 0:06:56.560 back to Brooklyn. Are you going straight from here? Opens 0:06:56.560 --> 0:06:59.400 at five o'clock. I'm hoping to leave here around then 0:07:00.440 --> 0:07:02.240 this is this is right and Williamsburg. It's close to 0:07:02.240 --> 0:07:04.400 where I live. So yeah, so I'm doing that, and 0:07:04.440 --> 0:07:06.479 then evidently it's close to like another one. You're taking 0:07:06.480 --> 0:07:08.280 the L train there, I'd imagine. Really, I thought I 0:07:08.240 --> 0:07:10.760 did take the A C E there. The Google map 0:07:10.800 --> 0:07:15.040 stole there close to the close to the L train though, 0:07:16.640 --> 0:07:19.680 I'll figure out tomorrow. I'm excited to do that. I 0:07:19.680 --> 0:07:22.840 also had an Inner Borrow Breweries right around there as well. 0:07:23.600 --> 0:07:25.920 It sounds a little more familiar. It's more a bit 0:07:25.920 --> 0:07:30.480 more popular inter Borrow. Yes, like Inner Burrows, Yeah, I 0:07:30.520 --> 0:07:33.360 got it, Greg, but not Burrows for that just b 0:07:33.560 --> 0:07:36.120 or b o r oh. I think that's right there 0:07:36.160 --> 0:07:40.400 as well, inter Borrow Spirits and ales that at the 0:07:40.440 --> 0:07:42.520 place that kind of just sounds like a liquor store. 0:07:43.960 --> 0:07:48.120 I'm not making this brewery somewhere close to that, never less, 0:07:48.120 --> 0:07:50.160 That's what I'm doing tomorrow, Frank, So you're really welcome 0:07:50.200 --> 0:07:53.360 to come, of course. I actually passed this every day 0:07:53.480 --> 0:07:56.800 on the bus. Really. Yeah, well I never even noticed 0:07:56.840 --> 0:08:01.440 that it was the brewery. Is just look, uh, it 0:08:01.560 --> 0:08:03.920 might be. It kind of just when I passed it, it 0:08:03.840 --> 0:08:05.320 it just kind of just looks like a warehouse, so 0:08:06.160 --> 0:08:08.800 it definitely could be. Yeah, that's pretty cool. So I'm 0:08:08.800 --> 0:08:12.840 really hoping my day turns around like then, you're just 0:08:12.840 --> 0:08:16.600 gonna drink yourself to oblivion and that everybing gets better. 0:08:16.880 --> 0:08:18.520 All I want to do, man, that's all I want 0:08:18.520 --> 0:08:20.920 to do. All right, let's start. Um, let's start with 0:08:20.920 --> 0:08:22.760 these relievers before we get the injury guys. Virginia z 0:08:22.960 --> 0:08:24.560 is coming up at the bottom of the hour. We 0:08:24.600 --> 0:08:27.080 don't have necessarily the like b I don't I don't 0:08:27.120 --> 0:08:28.800 think recommends on here is he? Like, I don't think 0:08:28.800 --> 0:08:30.400 I have a breaken on here. I put almost all 0:08:30.400 --> 0:08:34.079 starting pictures on here for the most part late yesterday. Yeah, 0:08:34.120 --> 0:08:36.320 it's mostly all starting pictures this week because we did 0:08:36.360 --> 0:08:38.120 a lot of that. Um, A couple of other guys, 0:08:38.200 --> 0:08:40.080 these Astrois guys are still ingering by next week, then 0:08:40.080 --> 0:08:42.680 we'll definitely, yes, absolutely, but let's start with the relievers. 0:08:42.679 --> 0:08:44.800 Brank we talked really, the only guy we talked about 0:08:44.800 --> 0:08:46.679 really was Josh Had. Out of the guys that are 0:08:46.679 --> 0:08:49.400 gonna get you holds for the most part um because 0:08:49.480 --> 0:08:53.000 Hayter is amazing and Frankasm I believe is his nights 0:08:53.040 --> 0:08:56.080 rank reliever. Give her take. It might have changed since then. No, 0:08:56.120 --> 0:08:57.640 I don't think I'm ever going to own him. It 0:08:57.720 --> 0:08:59.440 just seems like that's where you should be, right because 0:08:59.440 --> 0:09:01.600 he's so I'm gonna yeah, But we've seen guys be 0:09:01.640 --> 0:09:03.679 down in the past and then not as downar the 0:09:03.720 --> 0:09:06.800 next year, you know, So you know, I don't know 0:09:06.840 --> 0:09:08.360 if I don't think that's gonna be the case for him. 0:09:08.360 --> 0:09:10.760 I think he's still gonna be really, really good. I mean, 0:09:10.840 --> 0:09:12.520 his his delivery and stuff. It's just like the way 0:09:12.559 --> 0:09:14.320 he pitches, it's so hard to pick up and his 0:09:14.360 --> 0:09:17.160 stuff is absolutely filthy. I think it's gonna translate. But 0:09:17.200 --> 0:09:18.800 I mean, you're right, I mean, from year to year, 0:09:18.840 --> 0:09:21.640 it's pretty hard to project relief pictures. I mean, these 0:09:21.640 --> 0:09:24.640 guys some sometimes they'll just they'll emerge out of nowhere 0:09:24.640 --> 0:09:27.679 and then the next the next year, you know, they 0:09:27.679 --> 0:09:29.600 take a back seat. I don't necessarily think that's gonna 0:09:29.600 --> 0:09:31.160 be the case for Josh had I still think he's 0:09:31.200 --> 0:09:33.560 gonna be really, really good. I don't know that I'm 0:09:33.559 --> 0:09:36.559 gonna own him. He's just I rank him this highly 0:09:36.600 --> 0:09:39.120 because he's really dominant, and I still think they can 0:09:39.160 --> 0:09:41.120 pick up like ten of fifteen saves along the way. 0:09:41.360 --> 0:09:45.360 So let me let me ask this, outside of Josh Hayter, 0:09:46.720 --> 0:09:49.559 who are you looking to next? If you want holes, 0:09:49.600 --> 0:09:51.960 if you're looking for a dominant reliever that's gonna give 0:09:52.000 --> 0:09:53.719 you holes and really help you in the e R 0:09:53.800 --> 0:09:57.400 A wit and strikeout category, where do you head to next? 0:09:57.600 --> 0:10:01.560 And how early do you do it? So, I mean 0:10:02.160 --> 0:10:05.040 it's gonna it's gonna sound like a Homer here, but 0:10:05.679 --> 0:10:08.080 I think Dylan Patances, right, I think Dylan Patances has 0:10:08.080 --> 0:10:09.280 to be up there as one of the top guys. 0:10:09.280 --> 0:10:11.000 I mean, he's just been so dominant for so long 0:10:11.040 --> 0:10:13.920 and he gets so many strikeouts. He's a legit three 0:10:13.960 --> 0:10:17.040 category contributor in RHODO. Not gonna help and saves unless 0:10:17.040 --> 0:10:19.199 something happens with Chapman I do think that he would 0:10:19.200 --> 0:10:21.120 be the direct replacement the next man up in the 0:10:21.160 --> 0:10:23.760 Yankees bullpen if anything were to happen to Chapman. We 0:10:23.800 --> 0:10:26.360 saw that last year as well. But with Patances, you 0:10:26.400 --> 0:10:29.160 do get legitimate like e. R A whip numbers, and 0:10:29.200 --> 0:10:32.280 you get a lot of strikeouts too, So I don't 0:10:32.440 --> 0:10:36.720 think that's just like, uh, I don't think that's a 0:10:36.720 --> 0:10:39.120 homwer thing, Greg, what do you think? I think both. 0:10:39.520 --> 0:10:41.920 I think both Telebatances and Zach Brittan are both on 0:10:41.960 --> 0:10:43.839 this list for guys that are gonna I mean Britain 0:10:43.880 --> 0:10:46.080 not gonna get as many strikeouts, definitely gonna get hold 0:10:46.160 --> 0:10:49.440 for sure. I mean like holes are tricky, right, Like 0:10:49.920 --> 0:10:51.599 I was trying to look this up yesterday. Do you 0:10:51.640 --> 0:10:53.360 even know what the definition of a hole is? Greg? 0:10:53.640 --> 0:10:55.480 It's just like protecting a three run lead in a 0:10:55.480 --> 0:10:57.480 safe situation. I thought it was. That's what I thought 0:10:57.480 --> 0:11:00.000 it was too. I don't really, to be perfectly honest, 0:11:00.000 --> 0:11:01.920 I don't have a lot of experience playing with holds, 0:11:02.120 --> 0:11:03.920 but I would never do it. I just imagine that 0:11:04.000 --> 0:11:05.920 they're really good set up men, and you want to 0:11:05.960 --> 0:11:09.520 target players target He set up pictures on teams that 0:11:09.559 --> 0:11:11.600 are gonna win a lot of games because obviously you'll 0:11:11.600 --> 0:11:15.000 get more opportunities for for holds that way. So I think, 0:11:15.040 --> 0:11:18.959 I guess just targeting relievers on winning teams that are 0:11:18.960 --> 0:11:21.439 really dominant. Ryan Pressley is another one that comes to mind. 0:11:21.480 --> 0:11:24.720 We mentioned him yesterday. You know, I think he could 0:11:24.760 --> 0:11:26.480 be in the conversation if something would have to a 0:11:26.559 --> 0:11:28.800 Sono or if if it'll soon have faltered. I know 0:11:28.800 --> 0:11:31.400 Hector Rondon is there and he has closing experience as well, 0:11:31.440 --> 0:11:34.280 but Ryan Pressley once he joined the Astros last year, 0:11:34.480 --> 0:11:36.760 you know these Astros, everything they touched turns to gold. 0:11:36.960 --> 0:11:39.160 He develops this, you know, a new breaking pitch that 0:11:39.200 --> 0:11:42.040 he's using, and he throws a to a zero point 0:11:42.120 --> 0:11:44.839 seven seven e R eight with his Astro stint last year. 0:11:44.880 --> 0:11:49.560 So I would put Ryan Pressley in that conversation as well. 0:11:49.600 --> 0:11:52.640 Even Adam Outavino, right, all the Yankees guys, Yeah, I 0:11:52.679 --> 0:11:55.000 think all that. But like I agree with you, You're 0:11:55.040 --> 0:11:57.600 you're picking really good teams and you're saying, hey, I 0:11:57.640 --> 0:11:59.520 want their dominant relievers. I think the same toil be 0:11:59.559 --> 0:12:02.280 said for even the Red Sox, right, Like we don't 0:12:02.280 --> 0:12:03.840 know who the closer is there. It's a closure by 0:12:03.840 --> 0:12:05.560 a committee, and the Cubs said yesterday they're a closer 0:12:05.559 --> 0:12:10.080 recommittee too. But the point being, like the Cubs really 0:12:10.080 --> 0:12:12.440 said that. Joe Maddens, I believe he came out and 0:12:12.440 --> 0:12:16.040 said that yesterday. Yeah, there goes pedro Strope. I guess, 0:12:16.360 --> 0:12:17.960 but I mean I think pedro Strope will still get 0:12:18.000 --> 0:12:20.240 the majority of them. But doesn't Well what I'm saying 0:12:20.280 --> 0:12:22.640 he's like, doesn't there go pedro Strop because maybe those 0:12:22.640 --> 0:12:24.640 are the situations that are even better than the Yankees, 0:12:24.640 --> 0:12:26.640 because you're getting a guy that in a holds league, 0:12:26.640 --> 0:12:28.160 I have a lot of options. To remember, they signed 0:12:28.160 --> 0:12:32.040 Brad Brock, Carl Edwards is an amazing reliever. There's a 0:12:32.040 --> 0:12:34.600 lot of options there with the Cubs too, and then 0:12:34.679 --> 0:12:36.840 last year they signed Brandon Morrow and he's always hurt 0:12:36.880 --> 0:12:38.520 and he's not gonna be ready to start the seat. 0:12:39.800 --> 0:12:42.160 I'm looking at holds leaders from last year. Greg and 0:12:42.840 --> 0:12:45.920 Adam Montavino was number one with thirty four. Uh, you 0:12:45.960 --> 0:12:48.920 know what, holes go a lot similar to saves here. 0:12:48.920 --> 0:12:50.560 I mean, there was only seven guys that had thirty 0:12:50.559 --> 0:12:53.600 plus holds last year. Last yesterday, when I mentioned saves, 0:12:53.600 --> 0:12:55.600 there was only eleven players who had thirty plus saves 0:12:55.679 --> 0:12:58.320 last year. But you know, I think the high of 0:12:58.360 --> 0:13:02.680 the high for saves and closers are, you know, obviously 0:13:02.800 --> 0:13:05.200 Edwin d haz with fifty seven saves. I mean, there's 0:13:05.200 --> 0:13:07.000 no one here that has like fifty seven holds. It's 0:13:07.000 --> 0:13:09.000 really between thirty and thirty four. And you're looking at 0:13:09.160 --> 0:13:14.320 Adam Davino, Archie Bradley, Tony Watson, Yoshihisa Harno from the 0:13:14.360 --> 0:13:19.760 Arizona Diamondbacks, Chas Row with Tampa Bays, Alvarado Emma Bay 0:13:20.360 --> 0:13:22.280 have good relievers. Is just you don't know who's gonna 0:13:22.280 --> 0:13:24.320 be the closer. I would still put my money on Alvarado. 0:13:24.400 --> 0:13:26.400 I tend to agree with you, and his stuff seems 0:13:26.440 --> 0:13:28.160 to be the best. But what what it was getting 0:13:28.240 --> 0:13:30.000 at is when you look at these dominant relievers, even 0:13:30.760 --> 0:13:33.040 separately from the Yankees, like like, yes, we can talk 0:13:33.040 --> 0:13:36.480 about it just holds. But to me, I would go 0:13:36.640 --> 0:13:40.120 after situations where you're going to get holds and you 0:13:40.280 --> 0:13:43.880 also have the possibility of potentially getting saves, right, so 0:13:44.800 --> 0:13:47.160 you think of a weird closer situation. And I don't 0:13:47.160 --> 0:13:49.760 know why this comes to mind, Frankie, but the White 0:13:49.840 --> 0:13:53.600 Sox with Kelvin Herrera and Alex Colinet, like we assume 0:13:53.640 --> 0:13:55.679 it's Colone right now. That could change. And I think 0:13:55.720 --> 0:13:58.199 your Red Sox example was even better though, because the 0:13:58.280 --> 0:14:00.840 Red Sox are just gonna win more games us, right, 0:14:01.120 --> 0:14:05.320 But Herrera and or column A are probably the better reliever. 0:14:05.520 --> 0:14:08.440 I would think then Matt Barnes or what's his name, 0:14:08.480 --> 0:14:11.520 Ryan Brasier, Right, So I think Matt Barnes is pretty good. 0:14:11.800 --> 0:14:13.480 I'm actually gonna get more. I think he's gonna get 0:14:13.480 --> 0:14:15.240 more strikeouts in both of those guys. So maybe Matt 0:14:15.240 --> 0:14:17.760 Barnes is the guy. Maybe that's really way that saves 0:14:17.800 --> 0:14:20.640 plus hold league or even just like have a hold category, 0:14:20.840 --> 0:14:23.880 like maybe sorry, both friends. I think it's really interesting 0:14:23.960 --> 0:14:27.400 both of them changes and save plus holds leagues, Like 0:14:27.880 --> 0:14:31.120 how much of this would change ranking wise? Like when 0:14:31.600 --> 0:14:33.880 and we talked about that history, Like is that the 0:14:34.040 --> 0:14:36.520 way that fantasy baseball and just baseball in general is 0:14:36.880 --> 0:14:39.640 going towards its trending towards? Is we need to just 0:14:39.680 --> 0:14:42.240 eliminate the saves category and make it saves plus holds 0:14:42.360 --> 0:14:44.240 or if you play in a home league, h you know, 0:14:44.360 --> 0:14:47.040 a points league should hold be worth the same as 0:14:47.120 --> 0:14:50.040 much as savings, because that then we're looking at just 0:14:50.160 --> 0:14:53.680 drafting the best relie possible reliever, which is how it 0:14:53.720 --> 0:14:57.800 should be. Well again, well, my follow up question is, 0:14:58.920 --> 0:15:01.040 you know how a lot of a lot of leagues 0:15:01.320 --> 0:15:04.360 or people and not really basically but advanced leagues or 0:15:04.400 --> 0:15:08.400 just eliminating wins right, because it's just arbitrary, but arbitrary 0:15:08.440 --> 0:15:12.080 to an extent, they're they're replacing it with quality starts, right, 0:15:12.360 --> 0:15:16.400 which is also arbitrary in its own right. Um, should 0:15:16.520 --> 0:15:19.920 the seething happen to saves like a save, like a 0:15:20.000 --> 0:15:23.800 win like you have because there's times you just have 0:15:23.920 --> 0:15:25.760 the tie runs on deck and you have a reliever 0:15:25.800 --> 0:15:27.080 come in and pitch one pitch and get a save, 0:15:27.160 --> 0:15:30.480 and that's like ridiculous. Obviously, Um, every save is not 0:15:30.520 --> 0:15:32.440 created equal, like every one is not created equally. You 0:15:32.480 --> 0:15:34.800 pitched ninety but eight shut out endings, you deserve a win. 0:15:34.920 --> 0:15:37.680 Sometimes you don't get it. You pitch five inutings of 0:15:37.760 --> 0:15:40.200 six run ball on your team's up thirteen six, Like, 0:15:40.640 --> 0:15:44.240 you don't deserve that one either, So it's very hard. 0:15:44.360 --> 0:15:47.080 I I think saves plus holds on and we said 0:15:47.120 --> 0:15:50.640 this yesterday on the show. I think saves plus holds 0:15:50.720 --> 0:15:53.960 is probably where it should go because you're gonna draft 0:15:54.040 --> 0:15:57.080 the best reliever. It's gonna take a long time, though, 0:15:57.440 --> 0:16:00.320 is it for people. I just don't think it will 0:16:00.320 --> 0:16:02.320 be an industry standard for home leagues. I mean, people 0:16:02.320 --> 0:16:04.760 could do it now whatever they want. Yeah, definitely. I'm 0:16:04.760 --> 0:16:08.960 still I'm still pushing for errors. What Yeah, what do 0:16:09.040 --> 0:16:10.440 you what do you mean? I think error should be 0:16:10.480 --> 0:16:14.240 a category? Why Why is feeling that counted? It's like 0:16:14.840 --> 0:16:17.080 that's like the same reason why most people don't play 0:16:17.080 --> 0:16:19.360 I d P. You know, I don't think like too 0:16:19.440 --> 0:16:21.320 much going on, Like I don't think why you draft 0:16:21.560 --> 0:16:25.680 I play hitter, play hit play hitter case. Well, it's 0:16:25.680 --> 0:16:27.560 all about the play, right you. If you're a wide receiver, 0:16:27.680 --> 0:16:31.040 they fumble, you lose point. People like offense. I don't 0:16:31.040 --> 0:16:33.360 really care about defense. I mean, I'm just kidding in 0:16:33.400 --> 0:16:36.000 my opinion. Yeah, you know, what I always thought is, 0:16:36.040 --> 0:16:37.280 you know, if you play in a point because if 0:16:37.280 --> 0:16:39.160 you get penalized for strikeouts, why don't you get penoize 0:16:39.160 --> 0:16:42.200 for hitting into a double play? It's much worse, worse 0:16:42.240 --> 0:16:45.440 than striking out. I was looking at a few names 0:16:45.520 --> 0:16:47.920 here that are coming to mind from from last year. 0:16:47.920 --> 0:16:50.000 If you're just looking for some holds, I think Craig 0:16:50.080 --> 0:16:52.080 Stammon is another one with the San Diego Padres. He's 0:16:52.120 --> 0:16:56.600 dominant last year obviously. Jeremy Jeffers, you got hurt yesterday, 0:16:56.840 --> 0:17:02.880 Joaquin Storia, Fernando Rodney, it was Oakland, but well, Joe Himenez, 0:17:03.600 --> 0:17:09.360 take a break.
