00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:46,440
Speaker 2: it live on YouTube, it was there, but it's better

36
00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:49,280

39
00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:56,520
Speaker 2: the thing. Joe Rico, how are you, my friend? I

40
00:01:56,560 --> 00:01:59,680
Speaker 2: know you were traveling around different portions of Canada and

41
00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:01,720
Speaker 2: now you were back on It was weird hearing you

42
00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:03,720
Speaker 2: say you're like man as on the West Coast, and

43
00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:06,080
Speaker 2: you know, to me, that's like that's where I am,

44
00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:08,760
Speaker 2: California versus New York. But you were talking about it.

45
00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:10,320
Speaker 2: What Toronto versus Vancouver.

46
00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:14,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, I was out in Vancouver. You're visiting a friend

47
00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:17,320
Speaker 3: and I was. It was only only three hours, so

48
00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:20,320
Speaker 3: it's not super extreme like I've been to Europe before

49
00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:22,720
Speaker 3: and then those are like six hours. It's really brutal.

50
00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:25,000
Speaker 3: But I just kept pushing back my flight and I

51
00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:27,079
Speaker 3: came back and landed at like four in the morning,

52
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:28,720
Speaker 3: and I was just I missed the whole night of sleep.

53
00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:30,280
Speaker 3: So I'm still trying to catch up from that, but

54
00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:32,320
Speaker 3: happy to get back into the swing of things. I

55
00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:33,640
Speaker 3: know it was kind of a bad time for me

56
00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:36,280
Speaker 3: to take off in terms of like where we are

57
00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:38,040
Speaker 3: in the baseball season, so I'm kind of playing catch

58
00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:41,279
Speaker 3: up a little bit, but lots to talk about. Unfortunately,

59
00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:43,840
Speaker 3: we have a lot to talk about today with the injuries.

60
00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:46,359
Speaker 2: We do have a lot to talk about. Hopefully we'll

61
00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:48,160
Speaker 2: be talking with you guys. I see our boy Fred

62
00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:50,919
Speaker 2: Dinger's in here saying, what's that fellas, what is Upfred?

63
00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:53,800
Speaker 2: We have kind of a chat area where we're going

64
00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:56,280
Speaker 2: to be taking questions and if we do like last week,

65
00:02:56,320 --> 00:02:58,000
Speaker 2: if you guys listened, we had a couple of people

66
00:02:58,080 --> 00:02:59,880
Speaker 2: want to come up on the board. They wanted to

67
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:02,359
Speaker 2: chat with us. People can do that. You can do that.

68
00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:04,560
Speaker 2: That's kind of the cool thing about all of this.

69
00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:09,160
Speaker 2: But yes, injuries, it's the plague. It always happens every

70
00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:12,000
Speaker 2: single year. It What is ironic about it is it

71
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:14,600
Speaker 2: feels like it's in like a timespan. Like obviously you

72
00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:17,079
Speaker 2: look over like the entire season, you get the scope

73
00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:19,400
Speaker 2: of it, but there's always like a couple of weeks

74
00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:21,720
Speaker 2: and it's usually at some point early maybe it's you

75
00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:24,480
Speaker 2: week three, or sometimes it's the first week where you're

76
00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:27,360
Speaker 2: just like, give me a break, give me a break

77
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:31,600
Speaker 2: with injuries. Mounds of injuries today alone, right before we started.

78
00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:36,280
Speaker 2: Wyat Langford officially put on the iel. Justin Steele has

79
00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:39,200
Speaker 2: some shoulder discomfort. He says it shouldn't be too long.

80
00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:41,520
Speaker 2: He is on the eel. It's left and right. Could

81
00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:45,280
Speaker 2: tell Marte looks like it might be till May. Tons

82
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:48,240
Speaker 2: and tons of injuries, but just real quick, let's talk

83
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:51,080
Speaker 2: about the injury that almost was a big scare and

84
00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:55,040
Speaker 2: would have caused panic. Fernando Tatis Junior last night, or

85
00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:58,320
Speaker 2: as we're recording this last night, pulls through a swing.

86
00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:02,200
Speaker 2: He'd I think it said, I might be inversing this,

87
00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:04,160
Speaker 2: like he heard it like on a slide, and then

88
00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:06,120
Speaker 2: the swing or it was the sling swing, and then

89
00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:09,520
Speaker 2: he came back in and left. But the visual is

90
00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:13,320
Speaker 2: he had this really big swing. As he does it

91
00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:16,799
Speaker 2: actually seemed very Corby and Carrol like, with a big

92
00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:20,920
Speaker 2: follow through only his arm and bam, he's grabbing at

93
00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:23,000
Speaker 2: it and then he leaves the game and there's a

94
00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:27,280
Speaker 2: collective oh god. The positive news, unlike all the other

95
00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:30,080
Speaker 2: injuries that are not positive at this point, is that

96
00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:33,839
Speaker 2: he says he's okay. Manager says he's okay. He's not

97
00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:36,560
Speaker 2: going to require an iel stint or anything like that.

98
00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:39,240
Speaker 2: So great, awesome, We're all happy about that. But I

99
00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:41,040
Speaker 2: brought this up on leading off today and I want

100
00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:43,799
Speaker 2: to get your take on it. Are you worried though?

101
00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:47,680
Speaker 2: Did this open up a can of absolute chaos and

102
00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:51,960
Speaker 2: worry for you? Because it's not even April tenth. He's

103
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:55,479
Speaker 2: already swung through so aggressively that there's a little sting

104
00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:59,159
Speaker 2: in there. This was on this surgically repaired shoulder. This

105
00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:01,520
Speaker 2: just kind of reminds and it feels very like corbing

106
00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:04,520
Speaker 2: Carol esque that this could be looming all year and

107
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:07,520
Speaker 2: not many guys have been hotter than Fernando Tatis Junior.

108
00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:10,200
Speaker 2: So Arico, the question is is do you have any

109
00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:13,039
Speaker 2: long standing worry because of this and would this make

110
00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:15,240
Speaker 2: you react in any crazy way.

111
00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:19,280
Speaker 3: It's hard to be comforted by it because it's the

112
00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:21,520
Speaker 3: same shoulder that he has had problems with, the same

113
00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:24,400
Speaker 3: shoulder that he had surgery on in twenty twenty two.

114
00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:27,240
Speaker 3: So I wonder what this is going to mean the

115
00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:28,960
Speaker 3: rest of the season, if it's going to be something

116
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:31,520
Speaker 3: that does kind of hamper the power, if it potentially

117
00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:33,080
Speaker 3: means he's not going to be willing to steal as

118
00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:35,440
Speaker 3: much because he's worried about the slides. If they're going

119
00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:37,040
Speaker 3: to give him some days off here and there to

120
00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:39,120
Speaker 3: kind of mitigate some of the some of the potential

121
00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:42,799
Speaker 3: reinjury risk, it does worry me. At the same time,

122
00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:44,880
Speaker 3: I don't know if you're really going to be trying

123
00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:47,520
Speaker 3: to trade him necessarily, like to this point of the season.

124
00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:50,520
Speaker 3: Looking at the player raider on fangrafs, he's the number

125
00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:54,600
Speaker 3: four player for the season. So I don't know if

126
00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:56,839
Speaker 3: you're really trying to get off of him right now

127
00:05:57,040 --> 00:05:59,320
Speaker 3: based off of it. But if you can trade him

128
00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:01,360
Speaker 3: and get another fur round player back, if you are

129
00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:03,600
Speaker 3: worried and you're trying to get like a Kyle Tucker

130
00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:06,480
Speaker 3: or a player of that ilk back for him, I

131
00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:09,880
Speaker 3: don't mind it. I don't really know how this is

132
00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:11,840
Speaker 3: going to affect him in the long run, but considering

133
00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:14,679
Speaker 3: it's the same shoulder that has bothered him in the past,

134
00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:16,640
Speaker 3: I wouldn't blame somebody for trying to just get off

135
00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:18,720
Speaker 3: of it before this potentially gets worse, as long as

136
00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:21,080
Speaker 3: you're not taking a huge haircut, like I wouldn't sell

137
00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:23,640
Speaker 3: him for seventy seventy cents on the dollar. But if

138
00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:25,599
Speaker 3: you're getting a you know, an equal kind of first

139
00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:27,800
Speaker 3: round player back, I would be okay with it.

140
00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:30,280
Speaker 2: An interesting one maybe like a Gunner Henderson who had

141
00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:33,440
Speaker 2: the injury has kind of started off slow, That might

142
00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:35,880
Speaker 2: be one. Maybe you pare down a tiny bit and

143
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:38,560
Speaker 2: like a Lindor or something like that. My take with

144
00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:41,119
Speaker 2: it is I don't look and I go, oh, there's

145
00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:42,920
Speaker 2: going to be a suppression of power. I know. I

146
00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:44,960
Speaker 2: think the power is great. He's stealing more bases, his

147
00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:47,599
Speaker 2: legs feel healthy. The thing that would stand out to

148
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:51,040
Speaker 2: me is like Tatisa's one motor like one mode and

149
00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:54,640
Speaker 2: it is go mode. So like, I don't worry that

150
00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:56,520
Speaker 2: we're going to lose anything. I'm just worried we're going

151
00:06:56,560 --> 00:06:58,400
Speaker 2: to lose him that it's like he's just going to

152
00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:01,479
Speaker 2: keep going and then there is a reactvation. I will

153
00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:03,800
Speaker 2: tell you even all of that though, I'm not going

154
00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:05,479
Speaker 2: to make any move, but I do think that question

155
00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:07,159
Speaker 2: is going to start to come up. I don't know

156
00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:09,920
Speaker 2: if you could even get it Gunner or Lindor or

157
00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:13,560
Speaker 2: something or an Alvarez. It might have to be like

158
00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:16,120
Speaker 2: a two part trade. But I guess the question just

159
00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:18,880
Speaker 2: alliance around, like, oh, did this just remind you that

160
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:20,600
Speaker 2: this is going to be floating all season and maybe

161
00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:24,280
Speaker 2: you want to consolidate or do you just say it's

162
00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:26,960
Speaker 2: an absolute nothing burger since he's not hurt and maybe

163
00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:28,960
Speaker 2: it's you know, it's just a talking point at this point.

164
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:32,880
Speaker 2: Maybe it's just absolutely nothing. I think it is kind

165
00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:34,360
Speaker 2: of a nothing, but just keep it in the back

166
00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:36,119
Speaker 2: of your mind, I'm not making a move. It sounds

167
00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:38,400
Speaker 2: like you would you would consider, like would you trade

168
00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:39,880
Speaker 2: your tatist to get Lindor.

169
00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:43,760
Speaker 3: I think I probably would. Lindor doesn't come with a

170
00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:46,880
Speaker 3: lot of the same risks. I think that's kind of

171
00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:49,640
Speaker 3: where I'd need to get the value back, though I'm

172
00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:51,680
Speaker 3: not getting like a third or a fourth round player

173
00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:54,200
Speaker 3: back for him. It would need to be a top

174
00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:56,960
Speaker 3: fifteen or twenty player based on ADP. We're still early

175
00:07:57,080 --> 00:07:59,400
Speaker 3: enough into the season that I wouldn't necessarily just look

176
00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:01,720
Speaker 3: at rankings and try and get so to shrimp for

177
00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:04,600
Speaker 3: him or something. But if you're getting back another first

178
00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:06,880
Speaker 3: round early second round type of player, if you can

179
00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:08,680
Speaker 3: get a Churio, if you can get a yord On,

180
00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:11,480
Speaker 3: if you can get a Julio, a Carol somebody like that,

181
00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:13,640
Speaker 3: then I'm be okay with it. But I'm not trying

182
00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:15,600
Speaker 3: to trade him and then lose out on several rounds

183
00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:17,000
Speaker 3: of value just for him to be okay.

184
00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:17,440
Speaker 1: Yeah.

185
00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:19,960
Speaker 2: Is that as a possibility, Yeah, And I think you

186
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:21,800
Speaker 2: definitely got to just see more of it. But I

187
00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:23,520
Speaker 2: think he's one of those few players, like I think

188
00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:26,680
Speaker 2: if Corbyn Carroll did that exact same thing. Everyone want

189
00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:28,400
Speaker 2: to be like, here we go, you know, because you

190
00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:30,320
Speaker 2: saw how the struggles were. Here we go. He did

191
00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:34,520
Speaker 2: the shoulder. This was Tatisa's surgically repaired. So you know,

192
00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:36,120
Speaker 2: I'm saying all this to be like, I don't really

193
00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:37,959
Speaker 2: worried about it, but I understand where people are and

194
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:40,400
Speaker 2: the question is going to start arising. But you know,

195
00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:42,480
Speaker 2: he was amazingly one of the few, at least at

196
00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:44,800
Speaker 2: this moment that looks like he's not when, by the way,

197
00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:47,040
Speaker 2: we'd even mention his own team Jackson Merrill just hit

198
00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:51,360
Speaker 2: the il cronin Worth got hurt. It was a bloody,

199
00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:55,559
Speaker 2: bloody Tuesday, man like it was. The last two days

200
00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:59,920
Speaker 2: have been absolutely brutal in the in the injury market,

201
00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:02,920
Speaker 2: and hopefully you got enough depth and people are gonna

202
00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:05,480
Speaker 2: have to make some pretty tough decisions. Our boy mctunda

203
00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:08,360
Speaker 2: is in the house, always a peanut and cracker jack

204
00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:11,000
Speaker 2: on leading off and now here hanging with us. Mctunda,

205
00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:11,520
Speaker 2: what's up.

206
00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:13,320
Speaker 4: How's it going, guys?

207
00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:14,800
Speaker 2: I'm doing pretty good? What you got?

208
00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:15,640
Speaker 3: Well?

209
00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:19,880
Speaker 4: I can you rank the three young pitchers there in

210
00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:23,280
Speaker 4: Cleveland there? I have them on my Dynasty League somebody

211
00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:29,040
Speaker 4: just offered me, uh, Tanner Biby for Gavin Williams. But

212
00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:31,480
Speaker 4: Logan Outlands also floating up there as well too. So

213
00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:34,319
Speaker 4: who do you like for like a dynasty purpose?

214
00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:36,320
Speaker 2: What was it you were you were going to get

215
00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:39,680
Speaker 2: Bibby to trade away Gavin Williams or was it in verse?

216
00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:41,240
Speaker 4: In verse?

217
00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:44,240
Speaker 2: So you would yeah, so you would be trading Biby

218
00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:49,640
Speaker 2: to get Gavin Williams. Correct, Okay, uh, Logan Allen, Yeah,

219
00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:54,240
Speaker 2: Logan Allen is not in the discussion. Frankly, Gavin Williams

220
00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:57,599
Speaker 2: isn't really in the discussion. Joey Joe PSP and I

221
00:09:57,640 --> 00:09:59,880
Speaker 2: were looking at Gavin Williams. It's kind of been off

222
00:09:59,880 --> 00:10:01,920
Speaker 2: to a little bit of a slow start. We're not

223
00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:04,160
Speaker 2: seeing a ton of the like big crazy whift stuff.

224
00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:07,160
Speaker 2: He has this really weird pitch mix thing. I think

225
00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:09,280
Speaker 2: it was. I'd have to look at a savant page

226
00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:10,719
Speaker 2: right now, but I think he's the guy. I was

227
00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:13,319
Speaker 2: looking at that through like six different pitches and it's

228
00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:15,800
Speaker 2: down to three right now, and he's just really honed

229
00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:18,800
Speaker 2: in his pitch mix with some varying results. I'm not

230
00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:21,199
Speaker 2: really sure we need to go into any even analysis though,

231
00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:25,240
Speaker 2: it's pretty clearly Tanner Bibby right now. Gavin Williams, not

232
00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:27,840
Speaker 2: even in the big push, would jump over him at

233
00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:29,880
Speaker 2: this point. Arico, You feel any different.

234
00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:32,280
Speaker 3: No, I mean Bibby hasn't been off to a good start,

235
00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:35,280
Speaker 3: but that would be a buying opportunity for me. For really,

236
00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:37,760
Speaker 3: any solid player top one hundred, top one hundred and

237
00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:40,240
Speaker 3: fifty player who's been off to a slow start, I

238
00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:42,160
Speaker 3: would be trying to buy on them for the most part.

239
00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:45,040
Speaker 3: And you look at Bibby six fifty two ERA one

240
00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:48,079
Speaker 3: point thirty four whip. The strikeouts haven't been there. It's

241
00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:50,280
Speaker 3: still a very small sample size though. I've been a

242
00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:52,000
Speaker 3: big Bibby guy for a long time, and I've been

243
00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:54,880
Speaker 3: kind of out on Williams, mostly because of the injury concerns,

244
00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:57,439
Speaker 3: but he also hasn't really been off to a great start.

245
00:10:57,440 --> 00:11:02,000
Speaker 3: But I think i'd have byby forty spots easily ahead

246
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:02,840
Speaker 3: in pitching rankings.

247
00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:04,800
Speaker 2: Personally, Yeah, I feel like that guy who's trying to

248
00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:07,200
Speaker 2: do that to you. Mcdonda is like, oh, but like,

249
00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:10,440
Speaker 2: you know, the Nick Pollock talked about Gavin Williams, or

250
00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:12,600
Speaker 2: you know, Ino Sarah's talked about Gavin it's like no,

251
00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:16,600
Speaker 2: all of them would say, byby, and I was right, Gavin,

252
00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:20,040
Speaker 2: is he's really The pitch mix is super interesting. Last

253
00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:26,040
Speaker 2: year he threw forcing fastball fifty one percent of the time, curveball, cutter, slider,

254
00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:29,200
Speaker 2: change up, and sinker barely a sinker. He threw the

255
00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:32,200
Speaker 2: two sinkers. So let's call it five pitches, four of

256
00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:35,320
Speaker 2: which were double digit percentile. This year he's throwing three

257
00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:39,400
Speaker 2: pitches forcing fastball, sweeper, and curveball. So it looks like

258
00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:42,679
Speaker 2: he's taken and scrapped the cutter and the slider and

259
00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:46,120
Speaker 2: he's just turned you know, and those had different degrees

260
00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:50,320
Speaker 2: of v loos. The sweeper looks a lot closer to

261
00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:53,080
Speaker 2: the slider, but he so he cut the cutter. Sweeper

262
00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:55,800
Speaker 2: is now the second most used pitch. And then his curveball,

263
00:11:55,840 --> 00:12:00,319
Speaker 2: which was fourteen percent last year. I'm sorry, yeah, yeah, no,

264
00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:02,800
Speaker 2: I'm right about that. Curveball was second most used last year.

265
00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:04,880
Speaker 2: It's now the third most use. He's using it five

266
00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:07,520
Speaker 2: percent less of the time. So blah blah blah, Welsh,

267
00:12:07,559 --> 00:12:10,120
Speaker 2: what does it all mean. It's that the fastball is

268
00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:14,120
Speaker 2: upticked right now, it's getting hit. He's getting big whiffs

269
00:12:14,160 --> 00:12:16,400
Speaker 2: on the sweeper, nothing's happening with the curveball, and it's

270
00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:18,079
Speaker 2: just a three pitch mix. I think he's trying to

271
00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:21,120
Speaker 2: learn what you know, his variety is going to be.

272
00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:22,800
Speaker 2: So all of that to say, there's a little Gavin

273
00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:26,920
Speaker 2: Williams breakdown. It ain't over Tanner Biby, ain't over no

274
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:29,760
Speaker 2: Tanner Biby, ma'am. Let's get to some of the questions

275
00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:33,000
Speaker 2: that are in the chat here. So cal Kid, I

276
00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:36,640
Speaker 2: just want oh, this is funny. He's like, I just

277
00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:39,280
Speaker 2: want someone to see this.

278
00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:40,200
Speaker 3: This is this.

279
00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:44,800
Speaker 2: Is his roster, he says, I have Langford, McClain, Profar,

280
00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:49,679
Speaker 2: Cow's Aer, Josh Lowe, Blake Snell, Zach Efflyn, Royce Lewis

281
00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:51,880
Speaker 2: all on my roster. Well all on your eye, l

282
00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:55,000
Speaker 2: and Profar shouldn't be on your roster anymore. You can

283
00:12:55,040 --> 00:13:00,319
Speaker 2: cut him. That's gross, dude. And that's four of his outfielders,

284
00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:04,760
Speaker 2: or that you've got two of your infielders. Kind of

285
00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:06,880
Speaker 2: couldn't quite see that coming. I mean, Royce Luci know

286
00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:09,000
Speaker 2: there's injury stuff. You know, there's stuff with Snell, none

287
00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:15,600
Speaker 2: of the other McLain a little bit, but bo Arico, I.

288
00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:17,960
Speaker 3: Mean I got like some shares of pretty much all

289
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:20,200
Speaker 3: of these guys spread out here and there, but for

290
00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:23,600
Speaker 3: one roster to take that hit, like you mentioned, it's

291
00:13:23,640 --> 00:13:26,200
Speaker 3: like half the infield, half the outfield his sp one

292
00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:31,480
Speaker 3: probably sp three with Flyn, Like that's sil It's tough

293
00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:33,480
Speaker 3: to come back from that. You got to be super

294
00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:35,120
Speaker 3: active on the waiver wire. And I hope for your

295
00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:37,640
Speaker 3: sake you have unlimited IEL because that'd be a tough

296
00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:39,680
Speaker 3: decisions to make if you only have like three spots

297
00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:41,160
Speaker 3: or something. I don't even know what you would.

298
00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:42,960
Speaker 2: Do there, dude, totally no, I was just thinking the

299
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:46,320
Speaker 2: exact same thing. There are plenty of spots where like

300
00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:49,439
Speaker 2: you don't have unlimited IYEL and it is three and

301
00:13:49,559 --> 00:13:53,160
Speaker 2: like who are the muss? Like you gotta keep Snell,

302
00:13:53,280 --> 00:13:57,760
Speaker 2: you gotta keep Langford, and then like who's and then

303
00:13:57,920 --> 00:14:00,600
Speaker 2: is it McLain. So then you're cutting guys like Cowser,

304
00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:04,280
Speaker 2: low E, Flyn, like Royce Lewis. Yeah, probably that probably

305
00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:04,480
Speaker 2: is what.

306
00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:06,480
Speaker 3: I wouldn't feel good about it. I wouldn't feel good

307
00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:09,520
Speaker 3: about it. But Cowser's out like two months. Royce Lewis

308
00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:12,079
Speaker 3: is probably gonna be back soon, but who knows, how

309
00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:14,839
Speaker 3: long that will last. I love Eflyn. I wouldn't want

310
00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:18,560
Speaker 3: to cut Eflin, but it's just like Langford, you have

311
00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:20,240
Speaker 3: to keep Snell. You have to keep And then i'd

312
00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:22,480
Speaker 3: argue McClain is also kind of in that kind of

313
00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:24,760
Speaker 3: half to territory. The other guys are either going to

314
00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:27,120
Speaker 3: be out too long, Like with Josh Lowe, it's going

315
00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:29,200
Speaker 3: to be half the season probably. I've cut him in

316
00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:31,480
Speaker 3: a lot of places already. It's just it's just a

317
00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:34,840
Speaker 3: bad situation. So really, so Cal Kid heart goes out

318
00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:35,760
Speaker 3: to you, my friend.

319
00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:39,160
Speaker 2: T's and ps to so Cal Kid one hundred percent.

320
00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:43,040
Speaker 2: Dexter said, rank these pitchers rest of season. We have

321
00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:47,920
Speaker 2: Casey Miz, Dustin May, Rhys Olsen, and the aforementioned Gavin Williams.

322
00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:49,760
Speaker 2: So let's rank these in order.

323
00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:53,560
Speaker 3: Mister Joe Rico, I would go with Dustin May at

324
00:14:53,560 --> 00:14:56,600
Speaker 3: the top. I'm still believing in the stuff. I still believe,

325
00:14:56,760 --> 00:14:58,880
Speaker 3: you know, pitching for the Dodgers, you're gonna get double

326
00:14:58,920 --> 00:15:02,160
Speaker 3: digit wins pretty and then after him, i'd go with

327
00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:04,800
Speaker 3: the two Tigers. I think it kind of depends on

328
00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:06,720
Speaker 3: your own feel, but I think i'd probably put myes

329
00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:08,800
Speaker 3: ahead of Olsen. Just ever so slightly based on what

330
00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:11,440
Speaker 3: we've seen, and then i'd have Gavin Williams bringing up

331
00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:12,000
Speaker 3: the rear there.

332
00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:15,000
Speaker 2: I don't think it's and I didn't realize that I.

333
00:15:14,920 --> 00:15:17,960
Speaker 3: Am kind of out on him. I think it's just

334
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:20,280
Speaker 3: the injury concerns. I feel like at some point this year,

335
00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:22,000
Speaker 3: the stuff that he dealt with last season is going

336
00:15:22,040 --> 00:15:23,920
Speaker 3: to keep him out for a long time. If you've

337
00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:26,080
Speaker 3: got enough to a great start along the lines of

338
00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:27,920
Speaker 3: what Mice has done, then I'd probably feel a little

339
00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:31,480
Speaker 3: bit differently. But I haven't been overly encouraged based on

340
00:15:31,520 --> 00:15:33,400
Speaker 3: really anything. I know the spring looked good, but it's

341
00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:35,720
Speaker 3: such a small sample. I don't really want to read

342
00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:37,520
Speaker 3: too much into that. If you wanted to keep him

343
00:15:37,520 --> 00:15:39,240
Speaker 3: third on that list, i'd be okay with it, but

344
00:15:40,160 --> 00:15:42,760
Speaker 3: May for sure ahead, and I think My's for sure

345
00:15:42,760 --> 00:15:43,480
Speaker 3: ahead as well.

346
00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:47,800
Speaker 2: I would go May at the top as well. I

347
00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:50,120
Speaker 2: would go who did you have? Did you have Mies

348
00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:50,600
Speaker 2: or Olsen?

349
00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:50,880
Speaker 4: It too?

350
00:15:52,160 --> 00:15:54,120
Speaker 3: I had Mies at too, but I don't have a

351
00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:56,400
Speaker 3: huge problem if somebody wants to go with Olsen, no,

352
00:15:56,680 --> 00:15:57,280
Speaker 3: I would.

353
00:15:57,080 --> 00:15:59,440
Speaker 2: Go May and Mie, and I actually feel like that's

354
00:15:59,480 --> 00:16:01,440
Speaker 2: kind of like a tier group, but I would have

355
00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:03,880
Speaker 2: Williams at three and then Ulson at four, and I

356
00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:06,640
Speaker 2: think those two are really close. But May and Mis,

357
00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:10,080
Speaker 2: I'm very much in on my's. Like I said, Dustin,

358
00:16:10,120 --> 00:16:12,200
Speaker 2: May and Mis are both out of the streamer territory

359
00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:15,120
Speaker 2: for me, especially with like how Miz's splitter is working

360
00:16:15,160 --> 00:16:17,480
Speaker 2: and he's throwing strikes and he's setting up this splitter

361
00:16:17,520 --> 00:16:20,440
Speaker 2: better than ever. I'm very, very encouraged by that, and

362
00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:23,440
Speaker 2: I think, you know, that's going to continue for the

363
00:16:23,440 --> 00:16:25,400
Speaker 2: most part in like a really positive way. And I

364
00:16:25,400 --> 00:16:29,400
Speaker 2: think some of the like missed opportunity for Mys of

365
00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:33,160
Speaker 2: like you know, six man rotation or pushes and stuff like.

366
00:16:33,280 --> 00:16:34,880
Speaker 2: That's why those two get really close. And then I

367
00:16:34,920 --> 00:16:37,320
Speaker 2: would go Williams and Olsen. So that's how that's why

368
00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:39,400
Speaker 2: I would rank that bad boy. You guys can come

390
00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:43,840
Speaker 2: All right, a couple more questions here, would you trade

391
00:17:44,760 --> 00:17:48,520
Speaker 2: Ozzie Albi's for Royce Lewis? I'm getting Albi's Now, here's

392
00:17:48,560 --> 00:17:52,720
Speaker 2: the caveat in a twelve team dynasty Because Redraft we

393
00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:55,360
Speaker 2: both were like, no, this is a head to head

394
00:17:55,359 --> 00:17:58,119
Speaker 2: category league. It might it probably still is, no, by

395
00:17:58,119 --> 00:18:02,280
Speaker 2: the way, but would you trade your Royce Lewis to

396
00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:03,960
Speaker 2: get Albi's in a dynasty.

397
00:18:05,320 --> 00:18:08,879
Speaker 3: I wouldn't think twice about it. Personally, Yeah, I'm taking Alby's.

398
00:18:09,240 --> 00:18:11,680
Speaker 3: I'm not dealing with as much. I mean, Albi's has

399
00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:13,640
Speaker 3: missed some time over the years, but I don't think

400
00:18:13,680 --> 00:18:17,119
Speaker 3: he's nearly as injury plagued as Royce Lewis seems to be.

401
00:18:17,560 --> 00:18:19,359
Speaker 3: He got a better lineup. I mean, what we've seen

402
00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:21,040
Speaker 3: from both of them over the course of a full

403
00:18:21,080 --> 00:18:24,360
Speaker 3: season could be like in the thirty home run ten

404
00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:27,120
Speaker 3: stolen based type of range. But I feel like Albie's

405
00:18:27,160 --> 00:18:29,360
Speaker 3: gives me a higher floor, and we've seen that ceiling

406
00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:33,160
Speaker 3: of you know, second round fantasy production from him. We've

407
00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:35,359
Speaker 3: seen him put together healthy seasons. He's played one hundred

408
00:18:35,359 --> 00:18:37,120
Speaker 3: and fifty eight hundred and sixty one hundred and fifty

409
00:18:37,160 --> 00:18:40,480
Speaker 3: six hundred and forty eight. For me, it's easily Albi's,

410
00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:41,159
Speaker 3: what about you?

411
00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:44,840
Speaker 2: Easy? I don't even need to go too crazy into it.

412
00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:47,720
Speaker 2: Like Royce Lewis has got like some sky high potential

413
00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:52,520
Speaker 2: average rely sunk last year. He is perpetually injured. He's

414
00:18:52,520 --> 00:18:56,439
Speaker 2: shown no ability to keep injured. I think I have

415
00:18:56,480 --> 00:18:58,760
Speaker 2: to look at my dynasty list here, but like, let

416
00:18:58,760 --> 00:18:59,960
Speaker 2: me see if I can pull it up real quick.

417
00:19:00,560 --> 00:19:03,040
Speaker 2: What's the age gap on this? Like just a couple

418
00:19:03,280 --> 00:19:06,440
Speaker 2: I mean you have to consider the age gap. Sorry,

419
00:19:06,440 --> 00:19:08,480
Speaker 2: I'm trying to pull this up here on my Dynasty list, hey,

420
00:19:08,520 --> 00:19:12,440
Speaker 2: little fake cheap plug for my Patreon in this league

421
00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:15,040
Speaker 2: dot com where I've got my top four hundred dynasty

422
00:19:15,040 --> 00:19:18,000
Speaker 2: in top five hundred prospects all for fantasy. But I've

423
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:21,240
Speaker 2: also got some Dynasty information on fantasy pros for absolutely

424
00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:22,920
Speaker 2: free if you would like to check it out. But

425
00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:25,360
Speaker 2: let's tick a look here because I have ages on

426
00:19:25,480 --> 00:19:28,240
Speaker 2: my Dynasty list just so it's easy.

427
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:33,240
Speaker 3: To he I'll be and Ryce Lewis is about to

428
00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:34,920
Speaker 3: be twenty six, So it's like a two and a

429
00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:35,960
Speaker 3: half year age gap.

430
00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:38,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's not that big. It's not that big where

431
00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:41,960
Speaker 2: like they you know, hey, it's five years of different production.

432
00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:45,120
Speaker 2: You're kind of arguing, like prime for Albi's, I've also

433
00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:48,120
Speaker 2: got them. Let me look at my ranks here, I've

434
00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:51,199
Speaker 2: got them decently separated. I got Albi's like still in

435
00:19:51,240 --> 00:19:54,399
Speaker 2: the top fifty range, updates coming soon. Royce is like

436
00:19:55,480 --> 00:19:57,919
Speaker 2: just around the hundreds a little bit more inside, so

437
00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:02,159
Speaker 2: I very much favor him our why guy in a

438
00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:05,760
Speaker 2: ten team points league? I traded Xavier Edwards and Matt

439
00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:10,080
Speaker 2: Shaw for Mark Ventos. What are your thoughts? Joey is

440
00:20:10,119 --> 00:20:13,919
Speaker 2: a big buy on Mark Vento's right now, I am not.

441
00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:17,400
Speaker 2: And this is a points league and Xavier Edwards does

442
00:20:17,600 --> 00:20:21,080
Speaker 2: not strike out, leads off and hits a bunch. I

443
00:20:21,119 --> 00:20:22,040
Speaker 2: would not have done that.

444
00:20:23,080 --> 00:20:26,119
Speaker 3: What about you? I agree? I agree? Well, I mean

445
00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:28,680
Speaker 3: Vento's with the strikeouts. It depends on the scoring a

446
00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:30,880
Speaker 3: little bit. Every points league has their own way to score,

447
00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:31,480
Speaker 3: but I think.

448
00:20:31,359 --> 00:20:34,280
Speaker 2: You have a strikeout negative vent To's is more valuable.

449
00:20:34,320 --> 00:20:36,920
Speaker 2: But strikeout, Yeah, like this is a no brainer. I'd

450
00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:37,880
Speaker 2: rather have Edwards.

451
00:20:39,200 --> 00:20:41,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think I agree there on that front. Shaw.

452
00:20:42,359 --> 00:20:44,880
Speaker 3: I don't really know how to feel about Shaw at

453
00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:47,720
Speaker 3: this point. I don't think we can really know exactly

454
00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:49,679
Speaker 3: what he's going to be yet after just ten games.

455
00:20:49,680 --> 00:20:51,680
Speaker 3: But I think we know Edwards is going to be

456
00:20:51,720 --> 00:20:54,560
Speaker 3: a big contact guy who's going to be probably hitting

457
00:20:54,560 --> 00:20:56,920
Speaker 3: close to three hundred. That's kind of what he's always done,

458
00:20:56,960 --> 00:20:58,600
Speaker 3: and I think in the points league that is more

459
00:20:58,680 --> 00:21:01,040
Speaker 3: valuable now. The home runs a lot of the time

460
00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:03,159
Speaker 3: at points leagues, it's like eight or ten points for

461
00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:05,840
Speaker 3: a home run, and Biento's could make it close if

462
00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:08,600
Speaker 3: he does get the thirty thirty five homers, but the

463
00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:11,040
Speaker 3: strikeout negatives is really going to mitigate some of that

464
00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:13,479
Speaker 3: boost you get from the homers. So I personally am

465
00:21:13,520 --> 00:21:15,920
Speaker 3: on Welsh's side here. I probably wouldn't have taken that deal.

466
00:21:16,040 --> 00:21:19,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm open to Van Too's like kind of break

467
00:21:19,760 --> 00:21:21,679
Speaker 2: him back and stuff. I'm just not confident he's going

468
00:21:21,760 --> 00:21:23,639
Speaker 2: to hit for high average. He does have big power,

469
00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:25,720
Speaker 2: but I don't know man Edwards get more at bats,

470
00:21:25,760 --> 00:21:28,000
Speaker 2: makes a lot of contact still on bases aren't much,

471
00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:32,600
Speaker 2: and obviously the team context for runs. But I'm on Edward.

472
00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:34,399
Speaker 2: I think Edwards straight up for Van Too's in a

473
00:21:34,440 --> 00:21:38,440
Speaker 2: points league makes sense. If you're also getting Matt Shaw, well,

474
00:21:38,480 --> 00:21:40,440
Speaker 2: I guess he got them. I would have rathered both

475
00:21:40,480 --> 00:21:43,160
Speaker 2: of those guys. I think you didn't need to add

476
00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:45,159
Speaker 2: Matt Shaw for Viento's if you did it, but I

477
00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:50,080
Speaker 2: would lean on Vento's side. Elsback said, Boba sheet for

478
00:21:50,160 --> 00:21:55,159
Speaker 2: someone like Perdomo or Matt Shaw. Absolutely not, not in

479
00:21:55,200 --> 00:21:57,960
Speaker 2: any context, not in Dynasty, not in real life, not

480
00:21:58,080 --> 00:22:01,240
Speaker 2: in fantasy. Boba shed over all of them.

481
00:22:01,480 --> 00:22:04,159
Speaker 3: Yeah, easily was hitting over three hundred. He's in the

482
00:22:04,160 --> 00:22:06,119
Speaker 3: top of the order, he's scoring runs, He's in a

483
00:22:06,119 --> 00:22:09,160
Speaker 3: contract year. I'm also a big bow guy, even though

484
00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:12,080
Speaker 3: I'm I try to leave the Toronto bias out of it.

485
00:22:12,320 --> 00:22:14,360
Speaker 3: I was a huge bow fan coming into the year.

486
00:22:14,440 --> 00:22:17,600
Speaker 3: The price was good. Yeah, this is an easy, easy

487
00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:18,360
Speaker 3: bow side.

488
00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:21,960
Speaker 2: For me, Easy bows for me. Trade my Brandon Lao.

489
00:22:22,040 --> 00:22:25,679
Speaker 2: This is from Bunk trading Brandon Lau for Marcus Simeon

490
00:22:25,720 --> 00:22:28,639
Speaker 2: in a categories league. This is a great question because

491
00:22:28,680 --> 00:22:33,680
Speaker 2: obviously Simeon is in his eye struggle early on phase.

492
00:22:34,080 --> 00:22:37,679
Speaker 2: Brandon Law looks great and dominant, and we've had people

493
00:22:37,800 --> 00:22:40,760
Speaker 2: push like why is Brandon Low not higher and ranked higher?

494
00:22:40,800 --> 00:22:43,479
Speaker 2: So this is a high performing player with an injury

495
00:22:43,520 --> 00:22:48,040
Speaker 2: history versus an underperforming which we kind of know always

496
00:22:48,080 --> 00:22:50,399
Speaker 2: type of guy. But you know, like Simeon kind of

497
00:22:50,440 --> 00:22:52,720
Speaker 2: gets it back outside of last year's batting average. So

498
00:22:52,760 --> 00:22:55,480
Speaker 2: what side would you take here, Brandon Lau or Marcus Simeon.

499
00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:02,560
Speaker 3: It feels fairly, but I think I'd still probably go

500
00:23:02,600 --> 00:23:06,119
Speaker 3: with Semion. The lineup in Tampa hasn't been quite as

501
00:23:06,160 --> 00:23:08,080
Speaker 3: good as I was expecting. It to be. That was

502
00:23:08,080 --> 00:23:10,040
Speaker 3: one of the things I was really kind of banking on,

503
00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:12,840
Speaker 3: was that the offense would just be fantastic in that park.

504
00:23:12,880 --> 00:23:15,600
Speaker 3: They've been okay, and Lao has been one of the

505
00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:18,720
Speaker 3: ones who's been very good. But I think I'm still

506
00:23:18,840 --> 00:23:21,680
Speaker 3: kind of deferring to where we were in the preseason

507
00:23:21,720 --> 00:23:23,520
Speaker 3: in terms of our thought process on a player. For

508
00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:26,159
Speaker 3: the most part, you know, you're slightly changing valuations on

509
00:23:26,760 --> 00:23:28,560
Speaker 3: guys like soder shrim and other guys who are kind

510
00:23:28,560 --> 00:23:31,880
Speaker 3: of breaking out, but I'm still leading with the top

511
00:23:31,920 --> 00:23:34,080
Speaker 3: one hundred guy over a guy like Brandon Lao, who

512
00:23:34,119 --> 00:23:36,040
Speaker 3: was going close to one hundred picks later, we're still

513
00:23:36,040 --> 00:23:38,600
Speaker 3: talking about you know, fifty at bat sample sizes some

514
00:23:38,640 --> 00:23:40,800
Speaker 3: guys is not even quite that large. I feel like

515
00:23:40,800 --> 00:23:43,240
Speaker 3: Semion will turn it around, and I know with Brandon

516
00:23:43,280 --> 00:23:45,640
Speaker 3: Lao he's gonna end up missing twenty thirty games at

517
00:23:45,640 --> 00:23:47,920
Speaker 3: some point of the season. So I think it's relatively close.

518
00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:49,680
Speaker 3: But personally I'm taking the semi inside.

519
00:23:50,160 --> 00:23:52,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, me too. I think he said it well, like

520
00:23:52,760 --> 00:23:56,640
Speaker 2: kind of going back to early preseason stuff. Here's another

521
00:23:56,640 --> 00:23:59,200
Speaker 2: way that I look at it. If you get him,

522
00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:04,040
Speaker 2: cool thing is you have had those two horrific weeks.

523
00:24:05,040 --> 00:24:07,080
Speaker 2: Not a part of your lineup and not a part

524
00:24:07,080 --> 00:24:10,560
Speaker 2: of your roster. You know, he the guy that traded

525
00:24:10,640 --> 00:24:14,280
Speaker 2: him away. They had to eat that. There's some stuff

526
00:24:14,320 --> 00:24:17,879
Speaker 2: on Simeon, Like you know, his strikeouts are up a

527
00:24:17,880 --> 00:24:20,920
Speaker 2: little bit. His expected batting average just sucks, even though

528
00:24:20,920 --> 00:24:23,159
Speaker 2: it's sixty points higher than what he's hitting. It sucks.

529
00:24:24,160 --> 00:24:28,480
Speaker 2: But you'll see not one for one, but like expected

530
00:24:28,480 --> 00:24:32,800
Speaker 2: batting average can sometimes tail hard hit percentage, his hard

531
00:24:32,840 --> 00:24:35,320
Speaker 2: hit percentage is down. But what are the other things.

532
00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:37,840
Speaker 2: He's barreling the same amount. He's hitting the ball as

533
00:24:37,880 --> 00:24:39,920
Speaker 2: hard as usual. He's getting the ball in the air,

534
00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:43,480
Speaker 2: you know, more than ever. Really, a lot of that

535
00:24:43,520 --> 00:24:45,960
Speaker 2: stuff looks good. It still looks kind of like him.

536
00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:48,240
Speaker 2: He's just not hitting any off speed stuff right now.

537
00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:49,679
Speaker 2: And I think the team as a whole is just

538
00:24:49,760 --> 00:24:52,919
Speaker 2: they're really it's a Burger and Adulus and Simeon. So

539
00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:55,359
Speaker 2: I say all of that to say, I'm totally down

540
00:24:55,400 --> 00:24:58,800
Speaker 2: and I am into getting a value on Marcus Simeon.

541
00:24:58,920 --> 00:25:02,439
Speaker 2: So I would do that trade. Uh see what else

542
00:25:02,480 --> 00:25:05,919
Speaker 2: do we have here? Big C? Would you drop Jason

543
00:25:05,920 --> 00:25:10,520
Speaker 2: Adam for Max Meyer? Jose Soriano or Hayden Wiznski, Las

544
00:25:10,560 --> 00:25:12,840
Speaker 2: Steele and Jackson Merril this week was able to add

545
00:25:12,920 --> 00:25:16,199
Speaker 2: Jose Alvarado. Good on you, Luke Jackson and McGill. This

546
00:25:16,280 --> 00:25:18,560
Speaker 2: is an ESPN points league. Not sure if dropping Wells

547
00:25:18,680 --> 00:25:22,000
Speaker 2: or Shay Langliers is worth it with catcher with catchers

548
00:25:22,040 --> 00:25:26,639
Speaker 2: have done in a twelve team Max, so I'm not

549
00:25:26,680 --> 00:25:29,600
Speaker 2: really sure. The last part of the catchers, I think Alvarado,

550
00:25:29,680 --> 00:25:31,119
Speaker 2: it was one thing we were going to talk about.

551
00:25:31,119 --> 00:25:34,280
Speaker 2: Alvarado is kind of in that must pick up territory.

552
00:25:34,320 --> 00:25:36,480
Speaker 2: I also like getting Luke Jackson, even though I'm not

553
00:25:36,520 --> 00:25:39,880
Speaker 2: a big closer points guy. But back to the question,

554
00:25:39,920 --> 00:25:41,960
Speaker 2: would you drop Jason Adam who is more of a

555
00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:44,439
Speaker 2: save and holds guy who does place them in points

556
00:25:44,480 --> 00:25:52,920
Speaker 2: for Max, Soriano or wiz Nesky.

557
00:25:50,040 --> 00:25:53,000
Speaker 3: I think I would kind of lean towards Max Meyer.

558
00:25:53,080 --> 00:25:57,720
Speaker 3: I like them all. With McGill, I'm wondering if that's

559
00:25:57,800 --> 00:26:03,040
Speaker 3: Tyler or Trevor. It's probably Tyler. I don't I agree

560
00:26:03,040 --> 00:26:05,520
Speaker 3: with you that you don't need to like air yourself

561
00:26:05,560 --> 00:26:07,720
Speaker 3: with closers or relief pitchers in a points lead because

562
00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:10,640
Speaker 3: they just don't really rack up as many as many

563
00:26:10,680 --> 00:26:14,240
Speaker 3: points as starting pitchers Jason Adam. Maybe he gets that

564
00:26:14,320 --> 00:26:16,600
Speaker 3: job at some point. But Suarez has been really good

565
00:26:16,680 --> 00:26:19,280
Speaker 3: and I don't really see that happening for the time being.

566
00:26:19,320 --> 00:26:21,240
Speaker 3: So I don't see that you're getting many safe points

567
00:26:21,280 --> 00:26:24,359
Speaker 3: out of him. I probably drop him for Max Meyer.

568
00:26:24,400 --> 00:26:26,400
Speaker 3: I like what Max Meyer's done. He was a breakout

569
00:26:26,440 --> 00:26:29,400
Speaker 3: candidate in spring. He's actually pitching today. I wonder what's

570
00:26:29,920 --> 00:26:31,280
Speaker 3: going on, and he's doing great.

571
00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:34,840
Speaker 2: Actually, of course I was on the Mets side. He's

572
00:26:35,040 --> 00:26:40,160
Speaker 2: held the Mets to no runs, like four hits. I

573
00:26:40,240 --> 00:26:42,840
Speaker 2: think they may have just scored. Yeah, they just scored,

574
00:26:42,880 --> 00:26:44,600
Speaker 2: so they've got the lead, of course, because I had

575
00:26:44,600 --> 00:26:47,199
Speaker 2: the first five on the Mets. I'm an idiot not

576
00:26:47,240 --> 00:26:50,199
Speaker 2: getting a ton of whiffs. But they're just not doing

577
00:26:50,359 --> 00:26:54,760
Speaker 2: anything with it either, he is. I'm just looking at

578
00:26:54,800 --> 00:26:58,719
Speaker 2: it all right now. Slider looks good. It's getting whiffs

579
00:26:58,720 --> 00:27:01,280
Speaker 2: and called strikes. The ass ball. He's putting it in

580
00:27:01,320 --> 00:27:04,320
Speaker 2: the zone and it's it's getting hit hard a little bit,

581
00:27:04,320 --> 00:27:06,920
Speaker 2: but no impact. His velo's down, but it doesn't matter.

582
00:27:07,080 --> 00:27:10,680
Speaker 2: Pitch mix looks good. He's throwing five different pitches right now.

583
00:27:10,800 --> 00:27:14,240
Speaker 2: He's keeping them off of everything. Low Vilos on the

584
00:27:14,280 --> 00:27:18,000
Speaker 2: sinker that looks really good. Max Meyer is sneaky right now.

585
00:27:18,240 --> 00:27:20,240
Speaker 2: He's getting a little bit of run support, which you

586
00:27:20,280 --> 00:27:22,720
Speaker 2: know the stupid Mets are not doing. I actually kind

587
00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:26,600
Speaker 2: of was leading with Neski, but I think Meyer and

588
00:27:26,680 --> 00:27:29,520
Speaker 2: Wiznski are like one in two on that. I probably

589
00:27:29,520 --> 00:27:32,240
Speaker 2: wouldn't pick up a Sorano. I'd actually, if you have

590
00:27:32,359 --> 00:27:36,440
Speaker 2: three closers, I'd just go drop like McGill and Adam

591
00:27:36,520 --> 00:27:41,320
Speaker 2: and pick up was Neski and Max Meyer. Yeah you

592
00:27:41,359 --> 00:27:41,800
Speaker 2: agree with that?

593
00:27:42,040 --> 00:27:43,359
Speaker 3: With that, I'd live with that.

594
00:27:43,440 --> 00:27:45,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, Okay, you're down, good, Marico's down.

595

00:28:43,240 --> 00:28:47,000
Speaker 2: slash our YouTube dot com, slash Fantasy Pros MLB. I

615
00:28:47,040 --> 00:28:49,080
Speaker 2: was like, what did I just mess up there? That's

616
00:28:49,080 --> 00:28:53,240
Speaker 2: what it was, all right? Oh migtanda, just real quick,

617
00:28:53,400 --> 00:28:56,320
Speaker 2: he said he needs your opinion on Vlatti's new contract

618
00:28:56,400 --> 00:29:00,440
Speaker 2: as a Blue Jay Homer, how excited are you for this? Like,

619
00:29:00,560 --> 00:29:03,400
Speaker 2: especially from is this going to bring other free agents

620
00:29:03,440 --> 00:29:05,200
Speaker 2: to actually come and play for the Blue Jays.

621
00:29:06,960 --> 00:29:09,720
Speaker 3: I don't know how much it's gonna do on that front.

622
00:29:09,760 --> 00:29:12,680
Speaker 3: But I landed off the plane. I didn't have any

623
00:29:12,680 --> 00:29:14,600
Speaker 3: Wi Fi, and as soon as we touched down, every

624
00:29:14,720 --> 00:29:17,360
Speaker 3: notification start flooding in and I see the pass in

625
00:29:17,400 --> 00:29:18,720
Speaker 3: one of the top and before I clicked on it.

626
00:29:18,760 --> 00:29:20,880
Speaker 3: I was like, please, because we see the whole weekend,

627
00:29:20,960 --> 00:29:23,480
Speaker 3: We're seeing all these rumors and it's imminent he might sign,

628
00:29:23,600 --> 00:29:25,720
Speaker 3: it might not. And then it was just me and

629
00:29:25,720 --> 00:29:27,320
Speaker 3: my buddies are all Toronto guy. So as soon as

630
00:29:27,360 --> 00:29:29,240
Speaker 3: the plane lands, it's like middle of the night, and

631
00:29:29,280 --> 00:29:31,920
Speaker 3: I get this huge adrenaline rush and I just jump out,

632
00:29:31,960 --> 00:29:34,120
Speaker 3: yeah on the plane. I'm sure people were really appreciative

633
00:29:34,120 --> 00:29:35,760
Speaker 3: of that in the middle of the night, but I

634
00:29:35,800 --> 00:29:36,720
Speaker 3: am excited.

635
00:29:36,320 --> 00:29:39,240
Speaker 2: Screaming my plane is not like the best idea or

636
00:29:39,240 --> 00:29:40,160
Speaker 2: in an airport.

637
00:29:39,920 --> 00:29:42,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, not the best. It just landed, so I think

638
00:29:42,800 --> 00:29:45,120
Speaker 3: everybody knew we were okay, but yeah, I'm sure it

639
00:29:45,160 --> 00:29:46,840
Speaker 3: wasn't the smartest idea. We'll see if I'm on any

640
00:29:46,880 --> 00:29:49,880
Speaker 3: watch lists next time I try to fly. But I

641
00:29:50,040 --> 00:29:52,640
Speaker 3: was very happy, like this is a move that needed

642
00:29:52,680 --> 00:29:54,959
Speaker 3: to get done. Was it an overpay? I don't know.

643
00:29:55,000 --> 00:29:57,800
Speaker 3: He's making twenty eight million right now. He boosted up

644
00:29:57,840 --> 00:30:01,000
Speaker 3: for the thirty five million. The length is a little

645
00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:03,400
Speaker 3: bit long, but I would rather just have him be

646
00:30:03,600 --> 00:30:06,000
Speaker 3: a solo blue Jay for his whole career. You're going

647
00:30:06,040 --> 00:30:09,480
Speaker 3: to look at that Baseball reference page Toronto, Toronto Toronto, Toronto, Toronto,

648
00:30:09,520 --> 00:30:11,040
Speaker 3: and there's going to not be any crap at the

649
00:30:11,040 --> 00:30:13,280
Speaker 3: bottom of it unless he gets traded later on. But

650
00:30:13,320 --> 00:30:16,440
Speaker 3: that's besides the point. We have a star to build around,

651
00:30:16,920 --> 00:30:19,520
Speaker 3: a superstar. Vladdie is on a Hall of Fame trajectory.

652
00:30:19,560 --> 00:30:22,520
Speaker 3: We've seen it a couple times now. Two of his

653
00:30:22,600 --> 00:30:25,800
Speaker 3: full seasons at this point have been MVP caliber campaigns.

654
00:30:26,120 --> 00:30:27,560
Speaker 3: And if you let him go, the team has to

655
00:30:27,560 --> 00:30:29,880
Speaker 3: fully reset with a bad farm system with a bad

656
00:30:29,920 --> 00:30:32,040
Speaker 3: team around him, and they have a lot of money

657
00:30:32,080 --> 00:30:33,720
Speaker 3: coming off the books over the next couple of years

658
00:30:33,720 --> 00:30:36,720
Speaker 3: with Springer, with Bassett, with Gosman, with bo Rios is

659
00:30:36,720 --> 00:30:39,040
Speaker 3: still a couple of years, but they can start putting

660
00:30:39,080 --> 00:30:41,680
Speaker 3: the pieces together to build around Vladdie. Whereas if he

661
00:30:41,720 --> 00:30:45,240
Speaker 3: had gone, this team is starting from zero and you're

662
00:30:45,320 --> 00:30:47,719
Speaker 3: essentially looking at a bottom five or seven team in

663
00:30:47,760 --> 00:30:50,120
Speaker 3: line with kind of like where the White Sox and

664
00:30:50,200 --> 00:30:51,800
Speaker 3: Rockies and Marlins would have been. So I think this

665
00:30:51,960 --> 00:30:55,200
Speaker 3: changes the trajectory of the team and gives them another

666
00:30:55,320 --> 00:30:58,280
Speaker 3: ten years of potential contention as long as they put

667
00:30:58,320 --> 00:31:00,560
Speaker 3: pieces around. And I've been a huge critic of the

668
00:31:00,560 --> 00:31:02,680
Speaker 3: front office, but I think this is a good move,

669
00:31:02,720 --> 00:31:05,000
Speaker 3: even if the term is maybe a little bit long,

670
00:31:05,040 --> 00:31:06,880
Speaker 3: but I'm not going to get bogged down. I don't

671
00:31:06,920 --> 00:31:09,120
Speaker 3: really care if we're paying him for those last couple

672
00:31:09,160 --> 00:31:11,160
Speaker 3: of years in this thirties, so the next decade he

673
00:31:11,200 --> 00:31:14,080
Speaker 3: should be fantastic. I couldn't be happier as a Blue

674
00:31:14,120 --> 00:31:14,520
Speaker 3: Jay fan.

675
00:31:15,320 --> 00:31:18,440
Speaker 2: You need to get that off your chest, right good.

676
00:31:18,560 --> 00:31:19,920
Speaker 3: I haven't done a podcast in a week.

677
00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:23,480
Speaker 2: Man, in a week, I could tell I'm happy for you,

678
00:31:23,560 --> 00:31:25,400
Speaker 2: and we'll see if it brings in some more guys,

679
00:31:25,440 --> 00:31:27,280
Speaker 2: even though it looks like Boba Shitt's probably on his

680
00:31:27,320 --> 00:31:30,280
Speaker 2: way out. All right, last couple we'll just bang through

681
00:31:30,280 --> 00:31:32,320
Speaker 2: these bad boys and then now you guys come and

682
00:31:32,360 --> 00:31:35,000
Speaker 2: join us on the YouTube. Q and a Wilson Contreras,

683
00:31:35,080 --> 00:31:38,680
Speaker 2: Yannier or Wells. Moving forward, you got to pick one

684
00:31:38,720 --> 00:31:42,800
Speaker 2: of those catchers. People are not loving. Wilson Contreras. Yannier

685
00:31:42,880 --> 00:31:46,160
Speaker 2: has been a nothing burger, and Wells was off early

686
00:31:46,960 --> 00:31:50,480
Speaker 2: like a hot start, but you know, things haven't been

687
00:31:50,520 --> 00:31:52,560
Speaker 2: going absolutely ballistic. So if you had to pick one

688
00:31:52,560 --> 00:31:54,719
Speaker 2: of those catchers rest of season, who you going with?

689
00:31:56,360 --> 00:31:59,240
Speaker 3: I'm still going Wilson Contreras. I think a lot of

690
00:31:59,240 --> 00:32:01,720
Speaker 3: it comes down to do the played appearances, like he

691
00:32:01,880 --> 00:32:04,520
Speaker 3: is going to outpace the other guy is there strictly

692
00:32:04,560 --> 00:32:08,000
Speaker 3: because he is going to be playing at first base. Now,

693
00:32:08,080 --> 00:32:09,960
Speaker 3: I wonder if maybe they mix him in behind the

694
00:32:09,960 --> 00:32:11,880
Speaker 3: dish a little bit. With Ivon Herrera out for the

695
00:32:11,880 --> 00:32:14,880
Speaker 3: next month, it's gonna be Paez mostly. I wonder if

696
00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:18,000
Speaker 3: Wilson gets in enough just to keep that eligibility for

697
00:32:18,040 --> 00:32:20,280
Speaker 3: another year. That's a potential. I'm not sure if that's

698
00:32:20,280 --> 00:32:23,240
Speaker 3: gonna happen or not, but he would be my choice. Regardless.

699
00:32:23,280 --> 00:32:25,200
Speaker 3: You're gonna get more played appearances out of him. But

700
00:32:25,200 --> 00:32:27,600
Speaker 3: I also think the production what we've seen from him

701
00:32:27,640 --> 00:32:29,479
Speaker 3: over the last several years. If there's anything you can

702
00:32:29,520 --> 00:32:33,320
Speaker 3: say about Wilson, contreres its consistency pretty much every single year.

703
00:32:33,360 --> 00:32:34,760
Speaker 3: Last year he did miss a little bit of time,

704
00:32:34,760 --> 00:32:37,960
Speaker 3: but he's been a twenty home run, sixty RBI, five,

705
00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:42,080
Speaker 3: stolen base two forty five guy pretty much every year

706
00:32:42,160 --> 00:32:45,400
Speaker 3: going back to like twenty seventeen, and I think that

707
00:32:45,440 --> 00:32:47,000
Speaker 3: you can kind of bank on that. Even though he

708
00:32:47,080 --> 00:32:49,560
Speaker 3: started off very slow. This is just a buying opportunity

709
00:32:49,560 --> 00:32:51,640
Speaker 3: for me. Is he going to strike out forty three

710
00:32:51,640 --> 00:32:53,840
Speaker 3: percent of the time when he's been a twenty four

711
00:32:53,880 --> 00:32:56,400
Speaker 3: percent guy. No, is he going to be walking four

712
00:32:56,440 --> 00:32:58,480
Speaker 3: percent of the time when he's been ten percent for

713
00:32:58,520 --> 00:33:01,520
Speaker 3: his career. No, these are just all sample sizes. He's

714
00:33:01,560 --> 00:33:04,680
Speaker 3: had forty three at bats. Anybody panicking on Wilson or

715
00:33:04,720 --> 00:33:07,240
Speaker 3: even panicking on yainor Diaz would I would buy both

716
00:33:07,280 --> 00:33:08,840
Speaker 3: of them, But for me personally, I think I would

717
00:33:08,880 --> 00:33:11,000
Speaker 3: just I would go with Contreras.

718
00:33:10,520 --> 00:33:13,240
Speaker 2: Samsi's like you said it earlier in the show, like

719
00:33:13,400 --> 00:33:16,960
Speaker 2: not getting too far off of our preseason valuation. I

720
00:33:16,960 --> 00:33:19,440
Speaker 2: think that's kind of important. There are some instances leagues

721
00:33:19,520 --> 00:33:21,560
Speaker 2: kind of change, you know, because we're now in this

722
00:33:21,600 --> 00:33:23,240
Speaker 2: stage where like if you're in a ten team league,

723
00:33:23,240 --> 00:33:25,360
Speaker 2: could you drop a Casus, could you drop a Viento?

724
00:33:25,400 --> 00:33:27,360
Speaker 2: It's like, yeah, probably you probably could. In a ten

725
00:33:27,360 --> 00:33:29,440
Speaker 2: team league and a twelve team it makes it a

726
00:33:29,480 --> 00:33:32,280
Speaker 2: little bit tougher, and I'm still not making any drastic decisions,

727
00:33:32,280 --> 00:33:34,360
Speaker 2: But for the most part, you know, I'm in a

728
00:33:34,440 --> 00:33:37,520
Speaker 2: league where Yanire the Fantasy pros actual league. Yani is

729
00:33:37,560 --> 00:33:39,680
Speaker 2: just sitting out there, but it's like I'm just kind

730
00:33:39,680 --> 00:33:41,360
Speaker 2: of waiting for him to get going. But it's like

731
00:33:41,360 --> 00:33:43,280
Speaker 2: a ten team league. It's a ten team company league,

732
00:33:43,280 --> 00:33:44,920
Speaker 2: so I don't I don't feel the push that I got.

733
00:33:45,120 --> 00:33:46,800
Speaker 2: You know, I'll just go with like hot hands right

734
00:33:46,800 --> 00:33:50,880
Speaker 2: now until he starts rocking. But I would also go

735
00:33:50,920 --> 00:33:54,320
Speaker 2: with Wilson Contrera's last one is our boy, Fred Dinger.

736
00:33:54,640 --> 00:33:57,280
Speaker 2: I need to add some sp depth in a fifteen

737
00:33:57,400 --> 00:34:00,600
Speaker 2: team keeper league. Thoughts on a J. Smith with Shaver,

738
00:34:00,960 --> 00:34:04,200
Speaker 2: Tyler Molly or Tobias Harris. If you could only pick

739
00:34:04,280 --> 00:34:07,080
Speaker 2: up one of those guys. Tyler Molly's actually pitching right now,

740
00:34:07,200 --> 00:34:09,840
Speaker 2: got a little run support from Corey Seeger hitting a

741
00:34:09,880 --> 00:34:13,279
Speaker 2: bomb early on against Shota, Tobias Myers is close to

742
00:34:13,320 --> 00:34:16,000
Speaker 2: coming back, and a J. Smith Shaver in that rotation.

743
00:34:16,040 --> 00:34:17,239
Speaker 2: If you can only pick one of those in a

744
00:34:17,320 --> 00:34:19,640
Speaker 2: keeper who would you take? You?

745
00:34:19,719 --> 00:34:22,239
Speaker 3: Said Tobias Harris at first, Do you have a basketball

746
00:34:22,280 --> 00:34:22,600
Speaker 3: on the mind?

747
00:34:23,000 --> 00:34:25,880
Speaker 2: Did I did? I? Yeah, yeah, say the former small forward.

748
00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:28,520
Speaker 2: I do that all the time because I'm a multi

749
00:34:28,520 --> 00:34:31,080
Speaker 2: sport type of person. Yes, Tobias Meyers, I'm.

750
00:34:31,680 --> 00:34:33,640
Speaker 3: I'm just messing with you. I'm just messing with you.

751
00:34:33,719 --> 00:34:35,439
Speaker 2: I thank you for me all the freaking time.

752
00:34:35,480 --> 00:34:40,360
Speaker 3: Now, I don't know that the ceiling is terribly high

753
00:34:40,360 --> 00:34:44,040
Speaker 3: with Tobias Myers or Molly, I think, especially if from

754
00:34:44,080 --> 00:34:46,520
Speaker 3: a keeper standpoint in a deeper league, I think I'm

755
00:34:46,520 --> 00:34:51,080
Speaker 3: going with a J. Smith Shaver. We've seen some instances

756
00:34:51,080 --> 00:34:52,799
Speaker 3: where he kind of looks like he could put it

757
00:34:52,840 --> 00:34:55,600
Speaker 3: together at some point. It hasn't happened yet for him.

758
00:34:56,640 --> 00:34:58,520
Speaker 3: You know, his couple starts this year so far haven't

759
00:34:58,520 --> 00:35:00,640
Speaker 3: been that great. But I think think from a long

760
00:35:00,760 --> 00:35:03,360
Speaker 3: term context, I trust him more than the other guys,

761
00:35:03,640 --> 00:35:05,919
Speaker 3: especially Molly Molly. I just don't really trust the health

762
00:35:05,960 --> 00:35:08,560
Speaker 3: and Myers. Myers could be a decent back end guy,

763
00:35:08,560 --> 00:35:10,759
Speaker 3: but if you're shooting for upside, I think smith Shover

764
00:35:10,880 --> 00:35:11,680
Speaker 3: is probably the way to go.

765
00:35:12,200 --> 00:35:15,480
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, Molly's not in this unless I'm just like

766
00:35:15,920 --> 00:35:18,000
Speaker 2: I'm trying to play for like some wins and it's

767
00:35:18,080 --> 00:35:22,480
Speaker 2: arrangers and stuff. If that's the only context, which almost

768
00:35:22,520 --> 00:35:23,719
Speaker 2: is like, I don't even care if it's a keeper

769
00:35:23,719 --> 00:35:27,360
Speaker 2: because I'm not going to keep him. Smith Shover's the youngest,

770
00:35:27,680 --> 00:35:30,320
Speaker 2: highest potential. But I will tell you there's a little

771
00:35:30,360 --> 00:35:33,640
Speaker 2: part of me that feels like maybe it's Tobias Myers

772
00:35:33,680 --> 00:35:37,440
Speaker 2: and not Tobias Harris. Obviously he hasn't pitched so far

773
00:35:37,480 --> 00:35:39,759
Speaker 2: this year, but it's just a good year. Last year

774
00:35:39,840 --> 00:35:43,160
Speaker 2: I expected Era was in the fours. I don't know, man,

775
00:35:44,080 --> 00:35:46,000
Speaker 2: I guess that would go Smith Schover. He just hasn't

776
00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:48,439
Speaker 2: been great. His walks are through the roof right now.

777
00:35:48,520 --> 00:35:50,680
Speaker 2: The k percentage isn't up, Like we're not seeing a

778
00:35:50,719 --> 00:35:55,480
Speaker 2: ton of progression at this moment. So maybe you kind

779
00:35:55,480 --> 00:35:57,000
Speaker 2: of almost break it down where it's like, well, hey,

780
00:35:57,040 --> 00:36:00,480
Speaker 2: guess what Molly might be the best wins play, might

781
00:36:00,520 --> 00:36:02,960
Speaker 2: be the best overall play, and Smith Shaver is the

782
00:36:02,960 --> 00:36:05,960
Speaker 2: best long term play. So maybe you can adjust accordingly

783
00:36:06,360 --> 00:36:09,279
Speaker 2: Fred to your team context and that's how you could

784
00:36:09,280 --> 00:36:11,719
Speaker 2: play it. But Molly's kind of on the back end

785
00:36:11,760 --> 00:36:14,080
Speaker 2: there for me, and there you go. That is the

786
00:36:14,120 --> 00:36:17,160
