0:01:54.360 --> 0:01:56.520
<v Speaker 2>the thing. Joe Rico, how are you, my friend? I

0:01:56.560 --> 0:01:59.680
<v Speaker 2>know you were traveling around different portions of Canada and

0:01:59.720 --> 0:02:01.720
<v Speaker 2>now you were back on It was weird hearing you

0:02:01.760 --> 0:02:03.720
<v Speaker 2>say you're like man as on the West Coast, and

0:02:03.760 --> 0:02:06.080
<v Speaker 2>you know, to me, that's like that's where I am,

0:02:06.280 --> 0:02:08.760
<v Speaker 2>California versus New York. But you were talking about it.

0:02:08.760 --> 0:02:10.320
<v Speaker 2>What Toronto versus Vancouver.

0:02:11.840 --> 0:02:14.160
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I was out in Vancouver. You're visiting a friend

0:02:14.760 --> 0:02:17.320
<v Speaker 3>and I was. It was only only three hours, so

0:02:17.400 --> 0:02:20.320
<v Speaker 3>it's not super extreme like I've been to Europe before

0:02:20.360 --> 0:02:22.720
<v Speaker 3>and then those are like six hours. It's really brutal.

0:02:22.760 --> 0:02:25.000
<v Speaker 3>But I just kept pushing back my flight and I

0:02:25.040 --> 0:02:27.079
<v Speaker 3>came back and landed at like four in the morning,

0:02:27.120 --> 0:02:28.720
<v Speaker 3>and I was just I missed the whole night of sleep.

0:02:28.720 --> 0:02:30.280
<v Speaker 3>So I'm still trying to catch up from that, but

0:02:30.760 --> 0:02:32.320
<v Speaker 3>happy to get back into the swing of things. I

0:02:32.320 --> 0:02:33.640
<v Speaker 3>know it was kind of a bad time for me

0:02:33.720 --> 0:02:36.280
<v Speaker 3>to take off in terms of like where we are

0:02:36.280 --> 0:02:38.040
<v Speaker 3>in the baseball season, so I'm kind of playing catch

0:02:38.080 --> 0:02:41.279
<v Speaker 3>up a little bit, but lots to talk about. Unfortunately,

0:02:41.360 --> 0:02:43.840
<v Speaker 3>we have a lot to talk about today with the injuries.

0:02:43.960 --> 0:02:46.359
<v Speaker 2>We do have a lot to talk about. Hopefully we'll

0:02:46.360 --> 0:02:48.160
<v Speaker 2>be talking with you guys. I see our boy Fred

0:02:48.240 --> 0:02:50.919
<v Speaker 2>Dinger's in here saying, what's that fellas, what is Upfred?

0:02:51.639 --> 0:02:53.800
<v Speaker 2>We have kind of a chat area where we're going

0:02:53.880 --> 0:02:56.280
<v Speaker 2>to be taking questions and if we do like last week,

0:02:56.320 --> 0:02:58.000
<v Speaker 2>if you guys listened, we had a couple of people

0:02:58.080 --> 0:02:59.880
<v Speaker 2>want to come up on the board. They wanted to

0:03:00.080 --> 0:03:02.359
<v Speaker 2>chat with us. People can do that. You can do that.

0:03:02.360 --> 0:03:04.560
<v Speaker 2>That's kind of the cool thing about all of this.

0:03:04.639 --> 0:03:09.160
<v Speaker 2>But yes, injuries, it's the plague. It always happens every

0:03:09.160 --> 0:03:12.000
<v Speaker 2>single year. It What is ironic about it is it

0:03:12.000 --> 0:03:14.600
<v Speaker 2>feels like it's in like a timespan. Like obviously you

0:03:14.600 --> 0:03:17.079
<v Speaker 2>look over like the entire season, you get the scope

0:03:17.120 --> 0:03:19.400
<v Speaker 2>of it, but there's always like a couple of weeks

0:03:19.480 --> 0:03:21.720
<v Speaker 2>and it's usually at some point early maybe it's you

0:03:21.880 --> 0:03:24.480
<v Speaker 2>week three, or sometimes it's the first week where you're

0:03:24.520 --> 0:03:27.360
<v Speaker 2>just like, give me a break, give me a break

0:03:27.360 --> 0:03:31.600
<v Speaker 2>with injuries. Mounds of injuries today alone, right before we started.

0:03:31.600 --> 0:03:36.280
<v Speaker 2>Wyat Langford officially put on the iel. Justin Steele has

0:03:36.320 --> 0:03:39.200
<v Speaker 2>some shoulder discomfort. He says it shouldn't be too long.

0:03:39.320 --> 0:03:41.520
<v Speaker 2>He is on the eel. It's left and right. Could

0:03:41.520 --> 0:03:45.280
<v Speaker 2>tell Marte looks like it might be till May. Tons

0:03:45.280 --> 0:03:48.240
<v Speaker 2>and tons of injuries, but just real quick, let's talk

0:03:48.280 --> 0:03:51.080
<v Speaker 2>about the injury that almost was a big scare and

0:03:51.080 --> 0:03:55.040
<v Speaker 2>would have caused panic. Fernando Tatis Junior last night, or

0:03:55.040 --> 0:03:58.320
<v Speaker 2>as we're recording this last night, pulls through a swing.

0:03:58.600 --> 0:04:02.200
<v Speaker 2>He'd I think it said, I might be inversing this,

0:04:02.440 --> 0:04:04.160
<v Speaker 2>like he heard it like on a slide, and then

0:04:04.200 --> 0:04:06.120
<v Speaker 2>the swing or it was the sling swing, and then

0:04:06.320 --> 0:04:09.520
<v Speaker 2>he came back in and left. But the visual is

0:04:09.840 --> 0:04:13.320
<v Speaker 2>he had this really big swing. As he does it

0:04:13.320 --> 0:04:16.799
<v Speaker 2>actually seemed very Corby and Carrol like, with a big

0:04:16.880 --> 0:04:20.920
<v Speaker 2>follow through only his arm and bam, he's grabbing at

0:04:20.960 --> 0:04:23.000
<v Speaker 2>it and then he leaves the game and there's a

0:04:23.040 --> 0:04:27.280
<v Speaker 2>collective oh god. The positive news, unlike all the other

0:04:27.360 --> 0:04:30.080
<v Speaker 2>injuries that are not positive at this point, is that

0:04:30.200 --> 0:04:33.839
<v Speaker 2>he says he's okay. Manager says he's okay. He's not

0:04:33.880 --> 0:04:36.560
<v Speaker 2>going to require an iel stint or anything like that.

0:04:36.640 --> 0:04:39.240
<v Speaker 2>So great, awesome, We're all happy about that. But I

0:04:39.320 --> 0:04:41.040
<v Speaker 2>brought this up on leading off today and I want

0:04:41.080 --> 0:04:43.799
<v Speaker 2>to get your take on it. Are you worried though?

0:04:44.040 --> 0:04:47.680
<v Speaker 2>Did this open up a can of absolute chaos and

0:04:47.720 --> 0:04:51.960
<v Speaker 2>worry for you? Because it's not even April tenth. He's

0:04:52.000 --> 0:04:55.479
<v Speaker 2>already swung through so aggressively that there's a little sting

0:04:55.520 --> 0:04:59.159
<v Speaker 2>in there. This was on this surgically repaired shoulder. This

0:04:59.279 --> 0:05:01.520
<v Speaker 2>just kind of reminds and it feels very like corbing

0:05:01.600 --> 0:05:04.520
<v Speaker 2>Carol esque that this could be looming all year and

0:05:05.000 --> 0:05:07.520
<v Speaker 2>not many guys have been hotter than Fernando Tatis Junior.

0:05:07.560 --> 0:05:10.200
<v Speaker 2>So Arico, the question is is do you have any

0:05:10.240 --> 0:05:13.039
<v Speaker 2>long standing worry because of this and would this make

0:05:13.120 --> 0:05:15.240
<v Speaker 2>you react in any crazy way.

0:05:16.279 --> 0:05:19.280
<v Speaker 3>It's hard to be comforted by it because it's the

0:05:19.279 --> 0:05:21.520
<v Speaker 3>same shoulder that he has had problems with, the same

0:05:21.560 --> 0:05:24.400
<v Speaker 3>shoulder that he had surgery on in twenty twenty two.

0:05:24.560 --> 0:05:27.240
<v Speaker 3>So I wonder what this is going to mean the

0:05:27.240 --> 0:05:28.960
<v Speaker 3>rest of the season, if it's going to be something

0:05:29.000 --> 0:05:31.520
<v Speaker 3>that does kind of hamper the power, if it potentially

0:05:31.520 --> 0:05:33.080
<v Speaker 3>means he's not going to be willing to steal as

0:05:33.120 --> 0:05:35.440
<v Speaker 3>much because he's worried about the slides. If they're going

0:05:35.480 --> 0:05:37.040
<v Speaker 3>to give him some days off here and there to

0:05:37.120 --> 0:05:39.120
<v Speaker 3>kind of mitigate some of the some of the potential

0:05:39.200 --> 0:05:42.799
<v Speaker 3>reinjury risk, it does worry me. At the same time,

0:05:43.279 --> 0:05:44.880
<v Speaker 3>I don't know if you're really going to be trying

0:05:44.920 --> 0:05:47.520
<v Speaker 3>to trade him necessarily, like to this point of the season.

0:05:48.160 --> 0:05:50.520
<v Speaker 3>Looking at the player raider on fangrafs, he's the number

0:05:50.520 --> 0:05:54.600
<v Speaker 3>four player for the season. So I don't know if

0:05:54.600 --> 0:05:56.839
<v Speaker 3>you're really trying to get off of him right now

0:05:57.040 --> 0:05:59.320
<v Speaker 3>based off of it. But if you can trade him

0:05:59.320 --> 0:06:01.360
<v Speaker 3>and get another fur round player back, if you are

0:06:01.400 --> 0:06:03.600
<v Speaker 3>worried and you're trying to get like a Kyle Tucker

0:06:04.080 --> 0:06:06.480
<v Speaker 3>or a player of that ilk back for him, I

0:06:06.520 --> 0:06:09.880
<v Speaker 3>don't mind it. I don't really know how this is

0:06:09.880 --> 0:06:11.840
<v Speaker 3>going to affect him in the long run, but considering

0:06:11.880 --> 0:06:14.679
<v Speaker 3>it's the same shoulder that has bothered him in the past,

0:06:14.680 --> 0:06:16.640
<v Speaker 3>I wouldn't blame somebody for trying to just get off

0:06:16.640 --> 0:06:18.720
<v Speaker 3>of it before this potentially gets worse, as long as

0:06:18.720 --> 0:06:21.080
<v Speaker 3>you're not taking a huge haircut, like I wouldn't sell

0:06:21.160 --> 0:06:23.640
<v Speaker 3>him for seventy seventy cents on the dollar. But if

0:06:23.680 --> 0:06:25.599
<v Speaker 3>you're getting a you know, an equal kind of first

0:06:25.680 --> 0:06:27.800
<v Speaker 3>round player back, I would be okay with it.

0:06:27.960 --> 0:06:30.280
<v Speaker 2>An interesting one maybe like a Gunner Henderson who had

0:06:30.320 --> 0:06:33.440
<v Speaker 2>the injury has kind of started off slow, That might

0:06:33.520 --> 0:06:35.880
<v Speaker 2>be one. Maybe you pare down a tiny bit and

0:06:36.000 --> 0:06:38.560
<v Speaker 2>like a Lindor or something like that. My take with

0:06:38.640 --> 0:06:41.119
<v Speaker 2>it is I don't look and I go, oh, there's

0:06:41.200 --> 0:06:42.920
<v Speaker 2>going to be a suppression of power. I know. I

0:06:42.960 --> 0:06:44.960
<v Speaker 2>think the power is great. He's stealing more bases, his

0:06:45.040 --> 0:06:47.599
<v Speaker 2>legs feel healthy. The thing that would stand out to

0:06:47.600 --> 0:06:51.040
<v Speaker 2>me is like Tatisa's one motor like one mode and

0:06:51.120 --> 0:06:54.640
<v Speaker 2>it is go mode. So like, I don't worry that

0:06:54.720 --> 0:06:56.520
<v Speaker 2>we're going to lose anything. I'm just worried we're going

0:06:56.560 --> 0:06:58.400
<v Speaker 2>to lose him that it's like he's just going to

0:06:58.480 --> 0:07:01.479
<v Speaker 2>keep going and then there is a reactvation. I will

0:07:01.480 --> 0:07:03.800
<v Speaker 2>tell you even all of that though, I'm not going

0:07:03.880 --> 0:07:05.479
<v Speaker 2>to make any move, but I do think that question

0:07:05.520 --> 0:07:07.159
<v Speaker 2>is going to start to come up. I don't know

0:07:07.200 --> 0:07:09.920
<v Speaker 2>if you could even get it Gunner or Lindor or

0:07:09.920 --> 0:07:13.560
<v Speaker 2>something or an Alvarez. It might have to be like

0:07:13.600 --> 0:07:16.120
<v Speaker 2>a two part trade. But I guess the question just

0:07:16.120 --> 0:07:18.880
<v Speaker 2>alliance around, like, oh, did this just remind you that

0:07:18.920 --> 0:07:20.600
<v Speaker 2>this is going to be floating all season and maybe

0:07:20.640 --> 0:07:24.280
<v Speaker 2>you want to consolidate or do you just say it's

0:07:24.280 --> 0:07:26.960
<v Speaker 2>an absolute nothing burger since he's not hurt and maybe

0:07:26.960 --> 0:07:28.960
<v Speaker 2>it's you know, it's just a talking point at this point.

0:07:29.000 --> 0:07:32.880
<v Speaker 2>Maybe it's just absolutely nothing. I think it is kind

0:07:32.880 --> 0:07:34.360
<v Speaker 2>of a nothing, but just keep it in the back

0:07:34.400 --> 0:07:36.119
<v Speaker 2>of your mind, I'm not making a move. It sounds

0:07:36.160 --> 0:07:38.400
<v Speaker 2>like you would you would consider, like would you trade

0:07:38.440 --> 0:07:39.880
<v Speaker 2>your tatist to get Lindor.

0:07:40.760 --> 0:07:43.760
<v Speaker 3>I think I probably would. Lindor doesn't come with a

0:07:43.760 --> 0:07:46.880
<v Speaker 3>lot of the same risks. I think that's kind of

0:07:46.880 --> 0:07:49.640
<v Speaker 3>where I'd need to get the value back, though I'm

0:07:49.640 --> 0:07:51.680
<v Speaker 3>not getting like a third or a fourth round player

0:07:51.720 --> 0:07:54.200
<v Speaker 3>back for him. It would need to be a top

0:07:54.280 --> 0:07:56.960
<v Speaker 3>fifteen or twenty player based on ADP. We're still early

0:07:57.080 --> 0:07:59.400
<v Speaker 3>enough into the season that I wouldn't necessarily just look

0:07:59.440 --> 0:08:01.720
<v Speaker 3>at rankings and try and get so to shrimp for

0:08:01.800 --> 0:08:04.600
<v Speaker 3>him or something. But if you're getting back another first

0:08:04.720 --> 0:08:06.880
<v Speaker 3>round early second round type of player, if you can

0:08:06.880 --> 0:08:08.680
<v Speaker 3>get a Churio, if you can get a yord On,

0:08:09.120 --> 0:08:11.480
<v Speaker 3>if you can get a Julio, a Carol somebody like that,

0:08:11.560 --> 0:08:13.640
<v Speaker 3>then I'm be okay with it. But I'm not trying

0:08:13.640 --> 0:08:15.600
<v Speaker 3>to trade him and then lose out on several rounds

0:08:15.600 --> 0:08:17.000
<v Speaker 3>of value just for him to be okay.

0:08:17.240 --> 0:08:17.440
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:08:17.560 --> 0:08:19.960
<v Speaker 2>Is that as a possibility, Yeah, And I think you

0:08:20.000 --> 0:08:21.800
<v Speaker 2>definitely got to just see more of it. But I

0:08:21.840 --> 0:08:23.520
<v Speaker 2>think he's one of those few players, like I think

0:08:23.560 --> 0:08:26.680
<v Speaker 2>if Corbyn Carroll did that exact same thing. Everyone want

0:08:26.760 --> 0:08:28.400
<v Speaker 2>to be like, here we go, you know, because you

0:08:28.440 --> 0:08:30.320
<v Speaker 2>saw how the struggles were. Here we go. He did

0:08:30.360 --> 0:08:34.520
<v Speaker 2>the shoulder. This was Tatisa's surgically repaired. So you know,

0:08:34.559 --> 0:08:36.120
<v Speaker 2>I'm saying all this to be like, I don't really

0:08:36.120 --> 0:08:37.959
<v Speaker 2>worried about it, but I understand where people are and

0:08:38.000 --> 0:08:40.400
<v Speaker 2>the question is going to start arising. But you know,

0:08:40.559 --> 0:08:42.480
<v Speaker 2>he was amazingly one of the few, at least at

0:08:42.480 --> 0:08:44.800
<v Speaker 2>this moment that looks like he's not when, by the way,

0:08:44.840 --> 0:08:47.040
<v Speaker 2>we'd even mention his own team Jackson Merrill just hit

0:08:47.080 --> 0:08:51.360
<v Speaker 2>the il cronin Worth got hurt. It was a bloody,

0:08:52.080 --> 0:08:55.559
<v Speaker 2>bloody Tuesday, man like it was. The last two days

0:08:55.559 --> 0:08:59.920
<v Speaker 2>have been absolutely brutal in the in the injury market,

0:09:00.160 --> 0:09:02.920
<v Speaker 2>and hopefully you got enough depth and people are gonna

0:09:02.960 --> 0:09:05.480
<v Speaker 2>have to make some pretty tough decisions. Our boy mctunda

0:09:05.720 --> 0:09:08.360
<v Speaker 2>is in the house, always a peanut and cracker jack

0:09:08.440 --> 0:09:11.000
<v Speaker 2>on leading off and now here hanging with us. Mctunda,

0:09:11.080 --> 0:09:11.520
<v Speaker 2>what's up.

0:09:12.520 --> 0:09:13.320
<v Speaker 4>How's it going, guys?

0:09:13.400 --> 0:09:14.800
<v Speaker 2>I'm doing pretty good? What you got?

0:09:15.400 --> 0:09:15.640
<v Speaker 3>Well?

0:09:16.640 --> 0:09:19.880
<v Speaker 4>I can you rank the three young pitchers there in

0:09:20.200 --> 0:09:23.280
<v Speaker 4>Cleveland there? I have them on my Dynasty League somebody

0:09:23.320 --> 0:09:29.040
<v Speaker 4>just offered me, uh, Tanner Biby for Gavin Williams. But

0:09:29.240 --> 0:09:31.480
<v Speaker 4>Logan Outlands also floating up there as well too. So

0:09:31.679 --> 0:09:34.319
<v Speaker 4>who do you like for like a dynasty purpose?

0:09:34.640 --> 0:09:36.320
<v Speaker 2>What was it you were you were going to get

0:09:36.480 --> 0:09:39.680
<v Speaker 2>Bibby to trade away Gavin Williams or was it in verse?

0:09:40.800 --> 0:09:41.240
<v Speaker 4>In verse?

0:09:41.600 --> 0:09:44.240
<v Speaker 2>So you would yeah, so you would be trading Biby

0:09:44.280 --> 0:09:49.640
<v Speaker 2>to get Gavin Williams. Correct, Okay, uh, Logan Allen, Yeah,

0:09:50.080 --> 0:09:54.240
<v Speaker 2>Logan Allen is not in the discussion. Frankly, Gavin Williams

0:09:54.240 --> 0:09:57.599
<v Speaker 2>isn't really in the discussion. Joey Joe PSP and I

0:09:57.640 --> 0:09:59.880
<v Speaker 2>were looking at Gavin Williams. It's kind of been off

0:09:59.880 --> 0:10:01.920
<v Speaker 2>to a little bit of a slow start. We're not

0:10:01.960 --> 0:10:04.160
<v Speaker 2>seeing a ton of the like big crazy whift stuff.

0:10:04.200 --> 0:10:07.160
<v Speaker 2>He has this really weird pitch mix thing. I think

0:10:07.200 --> 0:10:09.280
<v Speaker 2>it was. I'd have to look at a savant page

0:10:09.320 --> 0:10:10.719
<v Speaker 2>right now, but I think he's the guy. I was

0:10:10.760 --> 0:10:13.319
<v Speaker 2>looking at that through like six different pitches and it's

0:10:13.320 --> 0:10:15.800
<v Speaker 2>down to three right now, and he's just really honed

0:10:15.800 --> 0:10:18.800
<v Speaker 2>in his pitch mix with some varying results. I'm not

0:10:18.840 --> 0:10:21.199
<v Speaker 2>really sure we need to go into any even analysis though,

0:10:21.320 --> 0:10:25.240
<v Speaker 2>it's pretty clearly Tanner Bibby right now. Gavin Williams, not

0:10:25.360 --> 0:10:27.840
<v Speaker 2>even in the big push, would jump over him at

0:10:27.840 --> 0:10:29.880
<v Speaker 2>this point. Arico, You feel any different.

0:10:30.080 --> 0:10:32.280
<v Speaker 3>No, I mean Bibby hasn't been off to a good start,

0:10:32.360 --> 0:10:35.280
<v Speaker 3>but that would be a buying opportunity for me. For really,

0:10:35.320 --> 0:10:37.760
<v Speaker 3>any solid player top one hundred, top one hundred and

0:10:37.800 --> 0:10:40.240
<v Speaker 3>fifty player who's been off to a slow start, I

0:10:40.240 --> 0:10:42.160
<v Speaker 3>would be trying to buy on them for the most part.

0:10:42.240 --> 0:10:45.040
<v Speaker 3>And you look at Bibby six fifty two ERA one

0:10:45.040 --> 0:10:48.079
<v Speaker 3>point thirty four whip. The strikeouts haven't been there. It's

0:10:48.120 --> 0:10:50.280
<v Speaker 3>still a very small sample size though. I've been a

0:10:50.280 --> 0:10:52.000
<v Speaker 3>big Bibby guy for a long time, and I've been

0:10:52.080 --> 0:10:54.880
<v Speaker 3>kind of out on Williams, mostly because of the injury concerns,

0:10:54.920 --> 0:10:57.439
<v Speaker 3>but he also hasn't really been off to a great start.

0:10:57.440 --> 0:11:02.000
<v Speaker 3>But I think i'd have byby forty spots easily ahead

0:11:02.000 --> 0:11:02.840
<v Speaker 3>in pitching rankings.

0:11:02.840 --> 0:11:04.800
<v Speaker 2>Personally, Yeah, I feel like that guy who's trying to

0:11:04.800 --> 0:11:07.200
<v Speaker 2>do that to you. Mcdonda is like, oh, but like,

0:11:07.320 --> 0:11:10.440
<v Speaker 2>you know, the Nick Pollock talked about Gavin Williams, or

0:11:10.480 --> 0:11:12.600
<v Speaker 2>you know, Ino Sarah's talked about Gavin it's like no,

0:11:13.480 --> 0:11:16.600
<v Speaker 2>all of them would say, byby, and I was right, Gavin,

0:11:16.720 --> 0:11:20.040
<v Speaker 2>is he's really The pitch mix is super interesting. Last

0:11:20.120 --> 0:11:26.040
<v Speaker 2>year he threw forcing fastball fifty one percent of the time, curveball, cutter, slider,

0:11:26.720 --> 0:11:29.200
<v Speaker 2>change up, and sinker barely a sinker. He threw the

0:11:29.280 --> 0:11:32.200
<v Speaker 2>two sinkers. So let's call it five pitches, four of

0:11:32.240 --> 0:11:35.320
<v Speaker 2>which were double digit percentile. This year he's throwing three

0:11:35.320 --> 0:11:39.400
<v Speaker 2>pitches forcing fastball, sweeper, and curveball. So it looks like

0:11:39.480 --> 0:11:42.679
<v Speaker 2>he's taken and scrapped the cutter and the slider and

0:11:42.720 --> 0:11:46.120
<v Speaker 2>he's just turned you know, and those had different degrees

0:11:46.480 --> 0:11:50.320
<v Speaker 2>of v loos. The sweeper looks a lot closer to

0:11:50.360 --> 0:11:53.080
<v Speaker 2>the slider, but he so he cut the cutter. Sweeper

0:11:53.160 --> 0:11:55.800
<v Speaker 2>is now the second most used pitch. And then his curveball,

0:11:55.840 --> 0:12:00.319
<v Speaker 2>which was fourteen percent last year. I'm sorry, yeah, yeah, no,

0:12:00.360 --> 0:12:02.800
<v Speaker 2>I'm right about that. Curveball was second most used last year.

0:12:02.880 --> 0:12:04.880
<v Speaker 2>It's now the third most use. He's using it five

0:12:04.920 --> 0:12:07.520
<v Speaker 2>percent less of the time. So blah blah blah, Welsh,

0:12:07.559 --> 0:12:10.120
<v Speaker 2>what does it all mean. It's that the fastball is

0:12:10.240 --> 0:12:14.120
<v Speaker 2>upticked right now, it's getting hit. He's getting big whiffs

0:12:14.160 --> 0:12:16.400
<v Speaker 2>on the sweeper, nothing's happening with the curveball, and it's

0:12:16.400 --> 0:12:18.079
<v Speaker 2>just a three pitch mix. I think he's trying to

0:12:18.240 --> 0:12:21.120
<v Speaker 2>learn what you know, his variety is going to be.

0:12:21.200 --> 0:12:22.800
<v Speaker 2>So all of that to say, there's a little Gavin

0:12:22.800 --> 0:12:26.920
<v Speaker 2>Williams breakdown. It ain't over Tanner Biby, ain't over no

0:12:27.000 --> 0:12:29.760
<v Speaker 2>Tanner Biby, ma'am. Let's get to some of the questions

0:12:29.760 --> 0:12:33.000
<v Speaker 2>that are in the chat here. So cal Kid, I

0:12:33.240 --> 0:12:36.640
<v Speaker 2>just want oh, this is funny. He's like, I just

0:12:36.679 --> 0:12:39.280
<v Speaker 2>want someone to see this.

0:12:39.280 --> 0:12:40.200
<v Speaker 3>This is this.

0:12:40.559 --> 0:12:44.800
<v Speaker 2>Is his roster, he says, I have Langford, McClain, Profar,

0:12:45.040 --> 0:12:49.679
<v Speaker 2>Cow's Aer, Josh Lowe, Blake Snell, Zach Efflyn, Royce Lewis

0:12:49.760 --> 0:12:51.880
<v Speaker 2>all on my roster. Well all on your eye, l

0:12:52.360 --> 0:12:55.000
<v Speaker 2>and Profar shouldn't be on your roster anymore. You can

0:12:55.040 --> 0:13:00.319
<v Speaker 2>cut him. That's gross, dude. And that's four of his outfielders,

0:13:00.400 --> 0:13:04.760
<v Speaker 2>or that you've got two of your infielders. Kind of

0:13:04.760 --> 0:13:06.880
<v Speaker 2>couldn't quite see that coming. I mean, Royce Luci know

0:13:06.880 --> 0:13:09.000
<v Speaker 2>there's injury stuff. You know, there's stuff with Snell, none

0:13:09.040 --> 0:13:15.600
<v Speaker 2>of the other McLain a little bit, but bo Arico, I.

0:13:15.520 --> 0:13:17.960
<v Speaker 3>Mean I got like some shares of pretty much all

0:13:18.000 --> 0:13:20.200
<v Speaker 3>of these guys spread out here and there, but for

0:13:20.320 --> 0:13:23.600
<v Speaker 3>one roster to take that hit, like you mentioned, it's

0:13:23.640 --> 0:13:26.200
<v Speaker 3>like half the infield, half the outfield his sp one

0:13:26.720 --> 0:13:31.480
<v Speaker 3>probably sp three with Flyn, Like that's sil It's tough

0:13:31.520 --> 0:13:33.480
<v Speaker 3>to come back from that. You got to be super

0:13:33.480 --> 0:13:35.120
<v Speaker 3>active on the waiver wire. And I hope for your

0:13:35.160 --> 0:13:37.640
<v Speaker 3>sake you have unlimited IEL because that'd be a tough

0:13:37.679 --> 0:13:39.680
<v Speaker 3>decisions to make if you only have like three spots

0:13:39.760 --> 0:13:41.160
<v Speaker 3>or something. I don't even know what you would.

0:13:40.960 --> 0:13:42.960
<v Speaker 2>Do there, dude, totally no, I was just thinking the

0:13:43.000 --> 0:13:46.320
<v Speaker 2>exact same thing. There are plenty of spots where like

0:13:46.360 --> 0:13:49.439
<v Speaker 2>you don't have unlimited IYEL and it is three and

0:13:49.559 --> 0:13:53.160
<v Speaker 2>like who are the muss? Like you gotta keep Snell,

0:13:53.280 --> 0:13:57.760
<v Speaker 2>you gotta keep Langford, and then like who's and then

0:13:57.920 --> 0:14:00.600
<v Speaker 2>is it McLain. So then you're cutting guys like Cowser,

0:14:00.800 --> 0:14:04.280
<v Speaker 2>low E, Flyn, like Royce Lewis. Yeah, probably that probably

0:14:04.320 --> 0:14:04.480
<v Speaker 2>is what.

0:14:04.520 --> 0:14:06.480
<v Speaker 3>I wouldn't feel good about it. I wouldn't feel good

0:14:06.520 --> 0:14:09.520
<v Speaker 3>about it. But Cowser's out like two months. Royce Lewis

0:14:09.600 --> 0:14:12.079
<v Speaker 3>is probably gonna be back soon, but who knows, how

0:14:12.080 --> 0:14:14.839
<v Speaker 3>long that will last. I love Eflyn. I wouldn't want

0:14:14.840 --> 0:14:18.560
<v Speaker 3>to cut Eflin, but it's just like Langford, you have

0:14:18.640 --> 0:14:20.240
<v Speaker 3>to keep Snell. You have to keep And then i'd

0:14:20.320 --> 0:14:22.480
<v Speaker 3>argue McClain is also kind of in that kind of

0:14:22.560 --> 0:14:24.760
<v Speaker 3>half to territory. The other guys are either going to

0:14:24.800 --> 0:14:27.120
<v Speaker 3>be out too long, Like with Josh Lowe, it's going

0:14:27.200 --> 0:14:29.200
<v Speaker 3>to be half the season probably. I've cut him in

0:14:29.200 --> 0:14:31.480
<v Speaker 3>a lot of places already. It's just it's just a

0:14:31.520 --> 0:14:34.840
<v Speaker 3>bad situation. So really, so Cal Kid heart goes out

0:14:34.880 --> 0:14:35.760
<v Speaker 3>to you, my friend.

0:14:36.440 --> 0:14:39.160
<v Speaker 2>T's and ps to so Cal Kid one hundred percent.

0:14:39.440 --> 0:14:43.040
<v Speaker 2>Dexter said, rank these pitchers rest of season. We have

0:14:43.240 --> 0:14:47.920
<v Speaker 2>Casey Miz, Dustin May, Rhys Olsen, and the aforementioned Gavin Williams.

0:14:47.960 --> 0:14:49.760
<v Speaker 2>So let's rank these in order.

0:14:49.800 --> 0:14:53.560
<v Speaker 3>Mister Joe Rico, I would go with Dustin May at

0:14:53.560 --> 0:14:56.600
<v Speaker 3>the top. I'm still believing in the stuff. I still believe,

0:14:56.760 --> 0:14:58.880
<v Speaker 3>you know, pitching for the Dodgers, you're gonna get double

0:14:58.920 --> 0:15:02.160
<v Speaker 3>digit wins pretty and then after him, i'd go with

0:15:02.200 --> 0:15:04.800
<v Speaker 3>the two Tigers. I think it kind of depends on

0:15:04.840 --> 0:15:06.720
<v Speaker 3>your own feel, but I think i'd probably put myes

0:15:06.760 --> 0:15:08.800
<v Speaker 3>ahead of Olsen. Just ever so slightly based on what

0:15:08.840 --> 0:15:11.440
<v Speaker 3>we've seen, and then i'd have Gavin Williams bringing up

0:15:11.440 --> 0:15:12.000
<v Speaker 3>the rear there.

0:15:12.280 --> 0:15:15.000
<v Speaker 2>I don't think it's and I didn't realize that I.

0:15:14.920 --> 0:15:17.960
<v Speaker 3>Am kind of out on him. I think it's just

0:15:18.000 --> 0:15:20.280
<v Speaker 3>the injury concerns. I feel like at some point this year,

0:15:20.320 --> 0:15:22.000
<v Speaker 3>the stuff that he dealt with last season is going

0:15:22.040 --> 0:15:23.920
<v Speaker 3>to keep him out for a long time. If you've

0:15:23.920 --> 0:15:26.080
<v Speaker 3>got enough to a great start along the lines of

0:15:26.080 --> 0:15:27.920
<v Speaker 3>what Mice has done, then I'd probably feel a little

0:15:27.920 --> 0:15:31.480
<v Speaker 3>bit differently. But I haven't been overly encouraged based on

0:15:31.520 --> 0:15:33.400
<v Speaker 3>really anything. I know the spring looked good, but it's

0:15:33.400 --> 0:15:35.720
<v Speaker 3>such a small sample. I don't really want to read

0:15:35.720 --> 0:15:37.520
<v Speaker 3>too much into that. If you wanted to keep him

0:15:37.520 --> 0:15:39.240
<v Speaker 3>third on that list, i'd be okay with it, but

0:15:40.160 --> 0:15:42.760
<v Speaker 3>May for sure ahead, and I think My's for sure

0:15:42.760 --> 0:15:43.480
<v Speaker 3>ahead as well.

0:15:44.160 --> 0:15:47.800
<v Speaker 2>I would go May at the top as well. I

0:15:47.840 --> 0:15:50.120
<v Speaker 2>would go who did you have? Did you have Mies

0:15:50.200 --> 0:15:50.600
<v Speaker 2>or Olsen?

0:15:50.640 --> 0:15:50.880
<v Speaker 4>It too?

0:15:52.160 --> 0:15:54.120
<v Speaker 3>I had Mies at too, but I don't have a

0:15:54.240 --> 0:15:56.400
<v Speaker 3>huge problem if somebody wants to go with Olsen, no,

0:15:56.680 --> 0:15:57.280
<v Speaker 3>I would.

0:15:57.080 --> 0:15:59.440
<v Speaker 2>Go May and Mie, and I actually feel like that's

0:15:59.480 --> 0:16:01.440
<v Speaker 2>kind of like a tier group, but I would have

0:16:01.560 --> 0:16:03.880
<v Speaker 2>Williams at three and then Ulson at four, and I

0:16:03.880 --> 0:16:06.640
<v Speaker 2>think those two are really close. But May and Mis,

0:16:06.720 --> 0:16:10.080
<v Speaker 2>I'm very much in on my's. Like I said, Dustin,

0:16:10.120 --> 0:16:12.200
<v Speaker 2>May and Mis are both out of the streamer territory

0:16:12.200 --> 0:16:15.120
<v Speaker 2>for me, especially with like how Miz's splitter is working

0:16:15.160 --> 0:16:17.480
<v Speaker 2>and he's throwing strikes and he's setting up this splitter

0:16:17.520 --> 0:16:20.440
<v Speaker 2>better than ever. I'm very, very encouraged by that, and

0:16:20.480 --> 0:16:23.440
<v Speaker 2>I think, you know, that's going to continue for the

0:16:23.440 --> 0:16:25.400
<v Speaker 2>most part in like a really positive way. And I

0:16:25.400 --> 0:16:29.400
<v Speaker 2>think some of the like missed opportunity for Mys of

0:16:29.480 --> 0:16:33.160
<v Speaker 2>like you know, six man rotation or pushes and stuff like.

0:16:33.280 --> 0:16:34.880
<v Speaker 2>That's why those two get really close. And then I

0:16:34.920 --> 0:16:37.320
<v Speaker 2>would go Williams and Olsen. So that's how that's why

0:16:37.360 --> 0:16:39.400
<v Speaker 2>I would rank that bad boy. You guys can come

0:17:40.400 --> 0:17:43.840
<v Speaker 2>All right, a couple more questions here, would you trade

0:17:44.760 --> 0:17:48.520
<v Speaker 2>Ozzie Albi's for Royce Lewis? I'm getting Albi's Now, here's

0:17:48.560 --> 0:17:52.720
<v Speaker 2>the caveat in a twelve team dynasty Because Redraft we

0:17:52.760 --> 0:17:55.360
<v Speaker 2>both were like, no, this is a head to head

0:17:55.359 --> 0:17:58.119
<v Speaker 2>category league. It might it probably still is, no, by

0:17:58.119 --> 0:18:02.280
<v Speaker 2>the way, but would you trade your Royce Lewis to

0:18:02.280 --> 0:18:03.960
<v Speaker 2>get Albi's in a dynasty.

0:18:05.320 --> 0:18:08.879
<v Speaker 3>I wouldn't think twice about it. Personally, Yeah, I'm taking Alby's.

0:18:09.240 --> 0:18:11.680
<v Speaker 3>I'm not dealing with as much. I mean, Albi's has

0:18:11.720 --> 0:18:13.640
<v Speaker 3>missed some time over the years, but I don't think

0:18:13.680 --> 0:18:17.119
<v Speaker 3>he's nearly as injury plagued as Royce Lewis seems to be.

0:18:17.560 --> 0:18:19.359
<v Speaker 3>He got a better lineup. I mean, what we've seen

0:18:19.400 --> 0:18:21.040
<v Speaker 3>from both of them over the course of a full

0:18:21.080 --> 0:18:24.360
<v Speaker 3>season could be like in the thirty home run ten

0:18:24.400 --> 0:18:27.120
<v Speaker 3>stolen based type of range. But I feel like Albie's

0:18:27.160 --> 0:18:29.360
<v Speaker 3>gives me a higher floor, and we've seen that ceiling

0:18:29.400 --> 0:18:33.160
<v Speaker 3>of you know, second round fantasy production from him. We've

0:18:33.160 --> 0:18:35.359
<v Speaker 3>seen him put together healthy seasons. He's played one hundred

0:18:35.359 --> 0:18:37.120
<v Speaker 3>and fifty eight hundred and sixty one hundred and fifty

0:18:37.160 --> 0:18:40.480
<v Speaker 3>six hundred and forty eight. For me, it's easily Albi's,

0:18:40.600 --> 0:18:41.159
<v Speaker 3>what about you?

0:18:42.200 --> 0:18:44.840
<v Speaker 2>Easy? I don't even need to go too crazy into it.

0:18:44.880 --> 0:18:47.720
<v Speaker 2>Like Royce Lewis has got like some sky high potential

0:18:48.320 --> 0:18:52.520
<v Speaker 2>average rely sunk last year. He is perpetually injured. He's

0:18:52.520 --> 0:18:56.439
<v Speaker 2>shown no ability to keep injured. I think I have

0:18:56.480 --> 0:18:58.760
<v Speaker 2>to look at my dynasty list here, but like, let

0:18:58.760 --> 0:18:59.960
<v Speaker 2>me see if I can pull it up real quick.

0:19:00.560 --> 0:19:03.040
<v Speaker 2>What's the age gap on this? Like just a couple

0:19:03.280 --> 0:19:06.440
<v Speaker 2>I mean you have to consider the age gap. Sorry,

0:19:06.440 --> 0:19:08.480
<v Speaker 2>I'm trying to pull this up here on my Dynasty list, hey,

0:19:08.520 --> 0:19:12.440
<v Speaker 2>little fake cheap plug for my Patreon in this league

0:19:12.440 --> 0:19:15.040
<v Speaker 2>dot com where I've got my top four hundred dynasty

0:19:15.040 --> 0:19:18.000
<v Speaker 2>in top five hundred prospects all for fantasy. But I've

0:19:18.000 --> 0:19:21.240
<v Speaker 2>also got some Dynasty information on fantasy pros for absolutely

0:19:21.240 --> 0:19:22.920
<v Speaker 2>free if you would like to check it out. But

0:19:23.000 --> 0:19:25.360
<v Speaker 2>let's tick a look here because I have ages on

0:19:25.480 --> 0:19:28.240
<v Speaker 2>my Dynasty list just so it's easy.

0:19:28.000 --> 0:19:33.240
<v Speaker 3>To he I'll be and Ryce Lewis is about to

0:19:33.280 --> 0:19:34.920
<v Speaker 3>be twenty six, So it's like a two and a

0:19:34.960 --> 0:19:35.960
<v Speaker 3>half year age gap.

0:19:36.240 --> 0:19:38.640
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's not that big. It's not that big where

0:19:38.640 --> 0:19:41.960
<v Speaker 2>like they you know, hey, it's five years of different production.

0:19:42.080 --> 0:19:45.120
<v Speaker 2>You're kind of arguing, like prime for Albi's, I've also

0:19:45.200 --> 0:19:48.120
<v Speaker 2>got them. Let me look at my ranks here, I've

0:19:48.160 --> 0:19:51.199
<v Speaker 2>got them decently separated. I got Albi's like still in

0:19:51.240 --> 0:19:54.399
<v Speaker 2>the top fifty range, updates coming soon. Royce is like

0:19:55.480 --> 0:19:57.919
<v Speaker 2>just around the hundreds a little bit more inside, so

0:19:58.000 --> 0:20:02.159
<v Speaker 2>I very much favor him our why guy in a

0:20:02.240 --> 0:20:05.760
<v Speaker 2>ten team points league? I traded Xavier Edwards and Matt

0:20:05.800 --> 0:20:10.080
<v Speaker 2>Shaw for Mark Ventos. What are your thoughts? Joey is

0:20:10.119 --> 0:20:13.919
<v Speaker 2>a big buy on Mark Vento's right now, I am not.

0:20:14.920 --> 0:20:17.400
<v Speaker 2>And this is a points league and Xavier Edwards does

0:20:17.600 --> 0:20:21.080
<v Speaker 2>not strike out, leads off and hits a bunch. I

0:20:21.119 --> 0:20:22.040
<v Speaker 2>would not have done that.

0:20:23.080 --> 0:20:26.119
<v Speaker 3>What about you? I agree? I agree? Well, I mean

0:20:26.200 --> 0:20:28.680
<v Speaker 3>Vento's with the strikeouts. It depends on the scoring a

0:20:28.680 --> 0:20:30.880
<v Speaker 3>little bit. Every points league has their own way to score,

0:20:30.960 --> 0:20:31.480
<v Speaker 3>but I think.

0:20:31.359 --> 0:20:34.280
<v Speaker 2>You have a strikeout negative vent To's is more valuable.

0:20:34.320 --> 0:20:36.920
<v Speaker 2>But strikeout, Yeah, like this is a no brainer. I'd

0:20:36.960 --> 0:20:37.880
<v Speaker 2>rather have Edwards.

0:20:39.200 --> 0:20:41.840
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I think I agree there on that front. Shaw.

0:20:42.359 --> 0:20:44.880
<v Speaker 3>I don't really know how to feel about Shaw at

0:20:44.880 --> 0:20:47.720
<v Speaker 3>this point. I don't think we can really know exactly

0:20:47.800 --> 0:20:49.679
<v Speaker 3>what he's going to be yet after just ten games.

0:20:49.680 --> 0:20:51.680
<v Speaker 3>But I think we know Edwards is going to be

0:20:51.720 --> 0:20:54.560
<v Speaker 3>a big contact guy who's going to be probably hitting

0:20:54.560 --> 0:20:56.920
<v Speaker 3>close to three hundred. That's kind of what he's always done,

0:20:56.960 --> 0:20:58.600
<v Speaker 3>and I think in the points league that is more

0:20:58.680 --> 0:21:01.040
<v Speaker 3>valuable now. The home runs a lot of the time

0:21:01.040 --> 0:21:03.159
<v Speaker 3>at points leagues, it's like eight or ten points for

0:21:03.240 --> 0:21:05.840
<v Speaker 3>a home run, and Biento's could make it close if

0:21:05.840 --> 0:21:08.600
<v Speaker 3>he does get the thirty thirty five homers, but the

0:21:08.640 --> 0:21:11.040
<v Speaker 3>strikeout negatives is really going to mitigate some of that

0:21:11.240 --> 0:21:13.479
<v Speaker 3>boost you get from the homers. So I personally am

0:21:13.520 --> 0:21:15.920
<v Speaker 3>on Welsh's side here. I probably wouldn't have taken that deal.

0:21:16.040 --> 0:21:19.720
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I'm open to Van Too's like kind of break

0:21:19.760 --> 0:21:21.679
<v Speaker 2>him back and stuff. I'm just not confident he's going

0:21:21.760 --> 0:21:23.639
<v Speaker 2>to hit for high average. He does have big power,

0:21:23.680 --> 0:21:25.720
<v Speaker 2>but I don't know man Edwards get more at bats,

0:21:25.760 --> 0:21:28.000
<v Speaker 2>makes a lot of contact still on bases aren't much,

0:21:28.240 --> 0:21:32.600
<v Speaker 2>and obviously the team context for runs. But I'm on Edward.

0:21:32.600 --> 0:21:34.399
<v Speaker 2>I think Edwards straight up for Van Too's in a

0:21:34.440 --> 0:21:38.440
<v Speaker 2>points league makes sense. If you're also getting Matt Shaw, well,

0:21:38.480 --> 0:21:40.440
<v Speaker 2>I guess he got them. I would have rathered both

0:21:40.480 --> 0:21:43.160
<v Speaker 2>of those guys. I think you didn't need to add

0:21:43.200 --> 0:21:45.159
<v Speaker 2>Matt Shaw for Viento's if you did it, but I

0:21:45.200 --> 0:21:50.080
<v Speaker 2>would lean on Vento's side. Elsback said, Boba sheet for

0:21:50.160 --> 0:21:55.159
<v Speaker 2>someone like Perdomo or Matt Shaw. Absolutely not, not in

0:21:55.200 --> 0:21:57.960
<v Speaker 2>any context, not in Dynasty, not in real life, not

0:21:58.080 --> 0:22:01.240
<v Speaker 2>in fantasy. Boba shed over all of them.

0:22:01.480 --> 0:22:04.159
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, easily was hitting over three hundred. He's in the

0:22:04.160 --> 0:22:06.119
<v Speaker 3>top of the order, he's scoring runs, He's in a

0:22:06.119 --> 0:22:09.160
<v Speaker 3>contract year. I'm also a big bow guy, even though

0:22:09.200 --> 0:22:12.080
<v Speaker 3>I'm I try to leave the Toronto bias out of it.

0:22:12.320 --> 0:22:14.360
<v Speaker 3>I was a huge bow fan coming into the year.

0:22:14.440 --> 0:22:17.600
<v Speaker 3>The price was good. Yeah, this is an easy, easy

0:22:17.600 --> 0:22:18.360
<v Speaker 3>bow side.

0:22:18.240 --> 0:22:21.960
<v Speaker 2>For me, Easy bows for me. Trade my Brandon Lao.

0:22:22.040 --> 0:22:25.679
<v Speaker 2>This is from Bunk trading Brandon Lau for Marcus Simeon

0:22:25.720 --> 0:22:28.639
<v Speaker 2>in a categories league. This is a great question because

0:22:28.680 --> 0:22:33.680
<v Speaker 2>obviously Simeon is in his eye struggle early on phase.

0:22:34.080 --> 0:22:37.679
<v Speaker 2>Brandon Law looks great and dominant, and we've had people

0:22:37.800 --> 0:22:40.760
<v Speaker 2>push like why is Brandon Low not higher and ranked higher?

0:22:40.800 --> 0:22:43.479
<v Speaker 2>So this is a high performing player with an injury

0:22:43.520 --> 0:22:48.040
<v Speaker 2>history versus an underperforming which we kind of know always

0:22:48.080 --> 0:22:50.399
<v Speaker 2>type of guy. But you know, like Simeon kind of

0:22:50.440 --> 0:22:52.720
<v Speaker 2>gets it back outside of last year's batting average. So

0:22:52.760 --> 0:22:55.480
<v Speaker 2>what side would you take here, Brandon Lau or Marcus Simeon.

0:22:58.000 --> 0:23:02.560
<v Speaker 3>It feels fairly, but I think I'd still probably go

0:23:02.600 --> 0:23:06.119
<v Speaker 3>with Semion. The lineup in Tampa hasn't been quite as

0:23:06.160 --> 0:23:08.080
<v Speaker 3>good as I was expecting. It to be. That was

0:23:08.080 --> 0:23:10.040
<v Speaker 3>one of the things I was really kind of banking on,

0:23:10.200 --> 0:23:12.840
<v Speaker 3>was that the offense would just be fantastic in that park.

0:23:12.880 --> 0:23:15.600
<v Speaker 3>They've been okay, and Lao has been one of the

0:23:15.640 --> 0:23:18.720
<v Speaker 3>ones who's been very good. But I think I'm still

0:23:18.840 --> 0:23:21.680
<v Speaker 3>kind of deferring to where we were in the preseason

0:23:21.720 --> 0:23:23.520
<v Speaker 3>in terms of our thought process on a player. For

0:23:23.560 --> 0:23:26.159
<v Speaker 3>the most part, you know, you're slightly changing valuations on

0:23:26.760 --> 0:23:28.560
<v Speaker 3>guys like soder shrim and other guys who are kind

0:23:28.560 --> 0:23:31.880
<v Speaker 3>of breaking out, but I'm still leading with the top

0:23:31.920 --> 0:23:34.080
<v Speaker 3>one hundred guy over a guy like Brandon Lao, who

0:23:34.119 --> 0:23:36.040
<v Speaker 3>was going close to one hundred picks later, we're still

0:23:36.040 --> 0:23:38.600
<v Speaker 3>talking about you know, fifty at bat sample sizes some

0:23:38.640 --> 0:23:40.800
<v Speaker 3>guys is not even quite that large. I feel like

0:23:40.800 --> 0:23:43.240
<v Speaker 3>Semion will turn it around, and I know with Brandon

0:23:43.280 --> 0:23:45.640
<v Speaker 3>Lao he's gonna end up missing twenty thirty games at

0:23:45.640 --> 0:23:47.920
<v Speaker 3>some point of the season. So I think it's relatively close.

0:23:47.960 --> 0:23:49.680
<v Speaker 3>But personally I'm taking the semi inside.

0:23:50.160 --> 0:23:52.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, me too. I think he said it well, like

0:23:52.760 --> 0:23:56.640
<v Speaker 2>kind of going back to early preseason stuff. Here's another

0:23:56.640 --> 0:23:59.200
<v Speaker 2>way that I look at it. If you get him,

0:23:59.680 --> 0:24:04.040
<v Speaker 2>cool thing is you have had those two horrific weeks.

0:24:05.040 --> 0:24:07.080
<v Speaker 2>Not a part of your lineup and not a part

0:24:07.080 --> 0:24:10.560
<v Speaker 2>of your roster. You know, he the guy that traded

0:24:10.640 --> 0:24:14.280
<v Speaker 2>him away. They had to eat that. There's some stuff

0:24:14.320 --> 0:24:17.879
<v Speaker 2>on Simeon, Like you know, his strikeouts are up a

0:24:17.880 --> 0:24:20.920
<v Speaker 2>little bit. His expected batting average just sucks, even though

0:24:20.920 --> 0:24:23.159
<v Speaker 2>it's sixty points higher than what he's hitting. It sucks.

0:24:24.160 --> 0:24:28.480
<v Speaker 2>But you'll see not one for one, but like expected

0:24:28.480 --> 0:24:32.800
<v Speaker 2>batting average can sometimes tail hard hit percentage, his hard

0:24:32.840 --> 0:24:35.320
<v Speaker 2>hit percentage is down. But what are the other things.

0:24:35.400 --> 0:24:37.840
<v Speaker 2>He's barreling the same amount. He's hitting the ball as

0:24:37.880 --> 0:24:39.920
<v Speaker 2>hard as usual. He's getting the ball in the air,

0:24:40.400 --> 0:24:43.480
<v Speaker 2>you know, more than ever. Really, a lot of that

0:24:43.520 --> 0:24:45.960
<v Speaker 2>stuff looks good. It still looks kind of like him.

0:24:46.000 --> 0:24:48.240
<v Speaker 2>He's just not hitting any off speed stuff right now.

0:24:48.280 --> 0:24:49.679
<v Speaker 2>And I think the team as a whole is just

0:24:49.760 --> 0:24:52.919
<v Speaker 2>they're really it's a Burger and Adulus and Simeon. So

0:24:52.960 --> 0:24:55.359
<v Speaker 2>I say all of that to say, I'm totally down

0:24:55.400 --> 0:24:58.800
<v Speaker 2>and I am into getting a value on Marcus Simeon.

0:24:58.920 --> 0:25:02.439
<v Speaker 2>So I would do that trade. Uh see what else

0:25:02.480 --> 0:25:05.919
<v Speaker 2>do we have here? Big C? Would you drop Jason

0:25:05.920 --> 0:25:10.520
<v Speaker 2>Adam for Max Meyer? Jose Soriano or Hayden Wiznski, Las

0:25:10.560 --> 0:25:12.840
<v Speaker 2>Steele and Jackson Merril this week was able to add

0:25:12.920 --> 0:25:16.199
<v Speaker 2>Jose Alvarado. Good on you, Luke Jackson and McGill. This

0:25:16.280 --> 0:25:18.560
<v Speaker 2>is an ESPN points league. Not sure if dropping Wells

0:25:18.680 --> 0:25:22.000
<v Speaker 2>or Shay Langliers is worth it with catcher with catchers

0:25:22.040 --> 0:25:26.639
<v Speaker 2>have done in a twelve team Max, so I'm not

0:25:26.680 --> 0:25:29.600
<v Speaker 2>really sure. The last part of the catchers, I think Alvarado,

0:25:29.680 --> 0:25:31.119
<v Speaker 2>it was one thing we were going to talk about.

0:25:31.119 --> 0:25:34.280
<v Speaker 2>Alvarado is kind of in that must pick up territory.

0:25:34.320 --> 0:25:36.480
<v Speaker 2>I also like getting Luke Jackson, even though I'm not

0:25:36.520 --> 0:25:39.880
<v Speaker 2>a big closer points guy. But back to the question,

0:25:39.920 --> 0:25:41.960
<v Speaker 2>would you drop Jason Adam who is more of a

0:25:42.000 --> 0:25:44.439
<v Speaker 2>save and holds guy who does place them in points

0:25:44.480 --> 0:25:52.920
<v Speaker 2>for Max, Soriano or wiz Nesky.

0:25:50.040 --> 0:25:53.000
<v Speaker 3>I think I would kind of lean towards Max Meyer.

0:25:53.080 --> 0:25:57.720
<v Speaker 3>I like them all. With McGill, I'm wondering if that's

0:25:57.800 --> 0:26:03.040
<v Speaker 3>Tyler or Trevor. It's probably Tyler. I don't I agree

0:26:03.040 --> 0:26:05.520
<v Speaker 3>with you that you don't need to like air yourself

0:26:05.560 --> 0:26:07.720
<v Speaker 3>with closers or relief pitchers in a points lead because

0:26:07.760 --> 0:26:10.640
<v Speaker 3>they just don't really rack up as many as many

0:26:10.680 --> 0:26:14.240
<v Speaker 3>points as starting pitchers Jason Adam. Maybe he gets that

0:26:14.320 --> 0:26:16.600
<v Speaker 3>job at some point. But Suarez has been really good

0:26:16.680 --> 0:26:19.280
<v Speaker 3>and I don't really see that happening for the time being.

0:26:19.320 --> 0:26:21.240
<v Speaker 3>So I don't see that you're getting many safe points

0:26:21.280 --> 0:26:24.359
<v Speaker 3>out of him. I probably drop him for Max Meyer.

0:26:24.400 --> 0:26:26.400
<v Speaker 3>I like what Max Meyer's done. He was a breakout

0:26:26.440 --> 0:26:29.400
<v Speaker 3>candidate in spring. He's actually pitching today. I wonder what's

0:26:29.920 --> 0:26:31.280
<v Speaker 3>going on, and he's doing great.

0:26:31.400 --> 0:26:34.840
<v Speaker 2>Actually, of course I was on the Mets side. He's

0:26:35.040 --> 0:26:40.160
<v Speaker 2>held the Mets to no runs, like four hits. I

0:26:40.240 --> 0:26:42.840
<v Speaker 2>think they may have just scored. Yeah, they just scored,

0:26:42.880 --> 0:26:44.600
<v Speaker 2>so they've got the lead, of course, because I had

0:26:44.600 --> 0:26:47.199
<v Speaker 2>the first five on the Mets. I'm an idiot not

0:26:47.240 --> 0:26:50.199
<v Speaker 2>getting a ton of whiffs. But they're just not doing

0:26:50.359 --> 0:26:54.760
<v Speaker 2>anything with it either, he is. I'm just looking at

0:26:54.800 --> 0:26:58.719
<v Speaker 2>it all right now. Slider looks good. It's getting whiffs

0:26:58.720 --> 0:27:01.280
<v Speaker 2>and called strikes. The ass ball. He's putting it in

0:27:01.320 --> 0:27:04.320
<v Speaker 2>the zone and it's it's getting hit hard a little bit,

0:27:04.320 --> 0:27:06.920
<v Speaker 2>but no impact. His velo's down, but it doesn't matter.

0:27:07.080 --> 0:27:10.680
<v Speaker 2>Pitch mix looks good. He's throwing five different pitches right now.

0:27:10.800 --> 0:27:14.240
<v Speaker 2>He's keeping them off of everything. Low Vilos on the

0:27:14.280 --> 0:27:18.000
<v Speaker 2>sinker that looks really good. Max Meyer is sneaky right now.

0:27:18.240 --> 0:27:20.240
<v Speaker 2>He's getting a little bit of run support, which you

0:27:20.280 --> 0:27:22.720
<v Speaker 2>know the stupid Mets are not doing. I actually kind

0:27:22.720 --> 0:27:26.600
<v Speaker 2>of was leading with Neski, but I think Meyer and

0:27:26.680 --> 0:27:29.520
<v Speaker 2>Wiznski are like one in two on that. I probably

0:27:29.520 --> 0:27:32.240
<v Speaker 2>wouldn't pick up a Sorano. I'd actually, if you have

0:27:32.359 --> 0:27:36.440
<v Speaker 2>three closers, I'd just go drop like McGill and Adam

0:27:36.520 --> 0:27:41.320
<v Speaker 2>and pick up was Neski and Max Meyer. Yeah you

0:27:41.359 --> 0:27:41.800
<v Speaker 2>agree with that?

0:27:42.040 --> 0:27:43.359
<v Speaker 3>With that, I'd live with that.

0:27:43.440 --> 0:27:45.680
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, Okay, you're down, good, Marico's down.

0:27:46.080 --> 0:27:46.280

<v Speaker 2>slash our YouTube dot com, slash Fantasy Pros MLB. I

0:28:47.040 --> 0:28:49.080
<v Speaker 2>was like, what did I just mess up there? That's

0:28:49.080 --> 0:28:53.240
<v Speaker 2>what it was, all right? Oh migtanda, just real quick,

0:28:53.400 --> 0:28:56.320
<v Speaker 2>he said he needs your opinion on Vlatti's new contract

0:28:56.400 --> 0:29:00.440
<v Speaker 2>as a Blue Jay Homer, how excited are you for this? Like,

0:29:00.560 --> 0:29:03.400
<v Speaker 2>especially from is this going to bring other free agents

0:29:03.440 --> 0:29:05.200
<v Speaker 2>to actually come and play for the Blue Jays.

0:29:06.960 --> 0:29:09.720
<v Speaker 3>I don't know how much it's gonna do on that front.

0:29:09.760 --> 0:29:12.680
<v Speaker 3>But I landed off the plane. I didn't have any

0:29:12.680 --> 0:29:14.600
<v Speaker 3>Wi Fi, and as soon as we touched down, every

0:29:14.720 --> 0:29:17.360
<v Speaker 3>notification start flooding in and I see the pass in

0:29:17.400 --> 0:29:18.720
<v Speaker 3>one of the top and before I clicked on it.

0:29:18.760 --> 0:29:20.880
<v Speaker 3>I was like, please, because we see the whole weekend,

0:29:20.960 --> 0:29:23.480
<v Speaker 3>We're seeing all these rumors and it's imminent he might sign,

0:29:23.600 --> 0:29:25.720
<v Speaker 3>it might not. And then it was just me and

0:29:25.720 --> 0:29:27.320
<v Speaker 3>my buddies are all Toronto guy. So as soon as

0:29:27.360 --> 0:29:29.240
<v Speaker 3>the plane lands, it's like middle of the night, and

0:29:29.280 --> 0:29:31.920
<v Speaker 3>I get this huge adrenaline rush and I just jump out,

0:29:31.960 --> 0:29:34.120
<v Speaker 3>yeah on the plane. I'm sure people were really appreciative

0:29:34.120 --> 0:29:35.760
<v Speaker 3>of that in the middle of the night, but I

0:29:35.800 --> 0:29:36.720
<v Speaker 3>am excited.

0:29:36.320 --> 0:29:39.240
<v Speaker 2>Screaming my plane is not like the best idea or

0:29:39.240 --> 0:29:40.160
<v Speaker 2>in an airport.

0:29:39.920 --> 0:29:42.760
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, not the best. It just landed, so I think

0:29:42.800 --> 0:29:45.120
<v Speaker 3>everybody knew we were okay, but yeah, I'm sure it

0:29:45.160 --> 0:29:46.840
<v Speaker 3>wasn't the smartest idea. We'll see if I'm on any

0:29:46.880 --> 0:29:49.880
<v Speaker 3>watch lists next time I try to fly. But I

0:29:50.040 --> 0:29:52.640
<v Speaker 3>was very happy, like this is a move that needed

0:29:52.680 --> 0:29:54.959
<v Speaker 3>to get done. Was it an overpay? I don't know.

0:29:55.000 --> 0:29:57.800
<v Speaker 3>He's making twenty eight million right now. He boosted up

0:29:57.840 --> 0:30:01.000
<v Speaker 3>for the thirty five million. The length is a little

0:30:01.000 --> 0:30:03.400
<v Speaker 3>bit long, but I would rather just have him be

0:30:03.600 --> 0:30:06.000
<v Speaker 3>a solo blue Jay for his whole career. You're going

0:30:06.040 --> 0:30:09.480
<v Speaker 3>to look at that Baseball reference page Toronto, Toronto Toronto, Toronto, Toronto,

0:30:09.520 --> 0:30:11.040
<v Speaker 3>and there's going to not be any crap at the

0:30:11.040 --> 0:30:13.280
<v Speaker 3>bottom of it unless he gets traded later on. But

0:30:13.320 --> 0:30:16.440
<v Speaker 3>that's besides the point. We have a star to build around,

0:30:16.920 --> 0:30:19.520
<v Speaker 3>a superstar. Vladdie is on a Hall of Fame trajectory.

0:30:19.560 --> 0:30:22.520
<v Speaker 3>We've seen it a couple times now. Two of his

0:30:22.600 --> 0:30:25.800
<v Speaker 3>full seasons at this point have been MVP caliber campaigns.

0:30:26.120 --> 0:30:27.560
<v Speaker 3>And if you let him go, the team has to

0:30:27.560 --> 0:30:29.880
<v Speaker 3>fully reset with a bad farm system with a bad

0:30:29.920 --> 0:30:32.040
<v Speaker 3>team around him, and they have a lot of money

0:30:32.080 --> 0:30:33.720
<v Speaker 3>coming off the books over the next couple of years

0:30:33.720 --> 0:30:36.720
<v Speaker 3>with Springer, with Bassett, with Gosman, with bo Rios is

0:30:36.720 --> 0:30:39.040
<v Speaker 3>still a couple of years, but they can start putting

0:30:39.080 --> 0:30:41.680
<v Speaker 3>the pieces together to build around Vladdie. Whereas if he

0:30:41.720 --> 0:30:45.240
<v Speaker 3>had gone, this team is starting from zero and you're

0:30:45.320 --> 0:30:47.719
<v Speaker 3>essentially looking at a bottom five or seven team in

0:30:47.760 --> 0:30:50.120
<v Speaker 3>line with kind of like where the White Sox and

0:30:50.200 --> 0:30:51.800
<v Speaker 3>Rockies and Marlins would have been. So I think this

0:30:51.960 --> 0:30:55.200
<v Speaker 3>changes the trajectory of the team and gives them another

0:30:55.320 --> 0:30:58.280
<v Speaker 3>ten years of potential contention as long as they put

0:30:58.320 --> 0:31:00.560
<v Speaker 3>pieces around. And I've been a huge critic of the

0:31:00.560 --> 0:31:02.680
<v Speaker 3>front office, but I think this is a good move,

0:31:02.720 --> 0:31:05.000
<v Speaker 3>even if the term is maybe a little bit long,

0:31:05.040 --> 0:31:06.880
<v Speaker 3>but I'm not going to get bogged down. I don't

0:31:06.920 --> 0:31:09.120
<v Speaker 3>really care if we're paying him for those last couple

0:31:09.160 --> 0:31:11.160
<v Speaker 3>of years in this thirties, so the next decade he

0:31:11.200 --> 0:31:14.080
<v Speaker 3>should be fantastic. I couldn't be happier as a Blue

0:31:14.120 --> 0:31:14.520
<v Speaker 3>Jay fan.

0:31:15.320 --> 0:31:18.440
<v Speaker 2>You need to get that off your chest, right good.

0:31:18.560 --> 0:31:19.920
<v Speaker 3>I haven't done a podcast in a week.

0:31:20.000 --> 0:31:23.480
<v Speaker 2>Man, in a week, I could tell I'm happy for you,

0:31:23.560 --> 0:31:25.400
<v Speaker 2>and we'll see if it brings in some more guys,

0:31:25.440 --> 0:31:27.280
<v Speaker 2>even though it looks like Boba Shitt's probably on his

0:31:27.320 --> 0:31:30.280
<v Speaker 2>way out. All right, last couple we'll just bang through

0:31:30.280 --> 0:31:32.320
<v Speaker 2>these bad boys and then now you guys come and

0:31:32.360 --> 0:31:35.000
<v Speaker 2>join us on the YouTube. Q and a Wilson Contreras,

0:31:35.080 --> 0:31:38.680
<v Speaker 2>Yannier or Wells. Moving forward, you got to pick one

0:31:38.720 --> 0:31:42.800
<v Speaker 2>of those catchers. People are not loving. Wilson Contreras. Yannier

0:31:42.880 --> 0:31:46.160
<v Speaker 2>has been a nothing burger, and Wells was off early

0:31:46.960 --> 0:31:50.480
<v Speaker 2>like a hot start, but you know, things haven't been

0:31:50.520 --> 0:31:52.560
<v Speaker 2>going absolutely ballistic. So if you had to pick one

0:31:52.560 --> 0:31:54.719
<v Speaker 2>of those catchers rest of season, who you going with?

0:31:56.360 --> 0:31:59.240
<v Speaker 3>I'm still going Wilson Contreras. I think a lot of

0:31:59.240 --> 0:32:01.720
<v Speaker 3>it comes down to do the played appearances, like he

0:32:01.880 --> 0:32:04.520
<v Speaker 3>is going to outpace the other guy is there strictly

0:32:04.560 --> 0:32:08.000
<v Speaker 3>because he is going to be playing at first base. Now,

0:32:08.080 --> 0:32:09.960
<v Speaker 3>I wonder if maybe they mix him in behind the

0:32:09.960 --> 0:32:11.880
<v Speaker 3>dish a little bit. With Ivon Herrera out for the

0:32:11.880 --> 0:32:14.880
<v Speaker 3>next month, it's gonna be Paez mostly. I wonder if

0:32:15.000 --> 0:32:18.000
<v Speaker 3>Wilson gets in enough just to keep that eligibility for

0:32:18.040 --> 0:32:20.280
<v Speaker 3>another year. That's a potential. I'm not sure if that's

0:32:20.280 --> 0:32:23.240
<v Speaker 3>gonna happen or not, but he would be my choice. Regardless.

0:32:23.280 --> 0:32:25.200
<v Speaker 3>You're gonna get more played appearances out of him. But

0:32:25.200 --> 0:32:27.600
<v Speaker 3>I also think the production what we've seen from him

0:32:27.640 --> 0:32:29.479
<v Speaker 3>over the last several years. If there's anything you can

0:32:29.520 --> 0:32:33.320
<v Speaker 3>say about Wilson, contreres its consistency pretty much every single year.

0:32:33.360 --> 0:32:34.760
<v Speaker 3>Last year he did miss a little bit of time,

0:32:34.760 --> 0:32:37.960
<v Speaker 3>but he's been a twenty home run, sixty RBI, five,

0:32:38.000 --> 0:32:42.080
<v Speaker 3>stolen base two forty five guy pretty much every year

0:32:42.160 --> 0:32:45.400
<v Speaker 3>going back to like twenty seventeen, and I think that

0:32:45.440 --> 0:32:47.000
<v Speaker 3>you can kind of bank on that. Even though he

0:32:47.080 --> 0:32:49.560
<v Speaker 3>started off very slow. This is just a buying opportunity

0:32:49.560 --> 0:32:51.640
<v Speaker 3>for me. Is he going to strike out forty three

0:32:51.640 --> 0:32:53.840
<v Speaker 3>percent of the time when he's been a twenty four

0:32:53.880 --> 0:32:56.400
<v Speaker 3>percent guy. No, is he going to be walking four

0:32:56.440 --> 0:32:58.480
<v Speaker 3>percent of the time when he's been ten percent for

0:32:58.520 --> 0:33:01.520
<v Speaker 3>his career. No, these are just all sample sizes. He's

0:33:01.560 --> 0:33:04.680
<v Speaker 3>had forty three at bats. Anybody panicking on Wilson or

0:33:04.720 --> 0:33:07.240
<v Speaker 3>even panicking on yainor Diaz would I would buy both

0:33:07.280 --> 0:33:08.840
<v Speaker 3>of them, But for me personally, I think I would

0:33:08.880 --> 0:33:11.000
<v Speaker 3>just I would go with Contreras.

0:33:10.520 --> 0:33:13.240
<v Speaker 2>Samsi's like you said it earlier in the show, like

0:33:13.400 --> 0:33:16.960
<v Speaker 2>not getting too far off of our preseason valuation. I

0:33:16.960 --> 0:33:19.440
<v Speaker 2>think that's kind of important. There are some instances leagues

0:33:19.520 --> 0:33:21.560
<v Speaker 2>kind of change, you know, because we're now in this

0:33:21.600 --> 0:33:23.240
<v Speaker 2>stage where like if you're in a ten team league,

0:33:23.240 --> 0:33:25.360
<v Speaker 2>could you drop a Casus, could you drop a Viento?

0:33:25.400 --> 0:33:27.360
<v Speaker 2>It's like, yeah, probably you probably could. In a ten

0:33:27.360 --> 0:33:29.440
<v Speaker 2>team league and a twelve team it makes it a

0:33:29.480 --> 0:33:32.280
<v Speaker 2>little bit tougher, and I'm still not making any drastic decisions,

0:33:32.280 --> 0:33:34.360
<v Speaker 2>But for the most part, you know, I'm in a

0:33:34.440 --> 0:33:37.520
<v Speaker 2>league where Yanire the Fantasy pros actual league. Yani is

0:33:37.560 --> 0:33:39.680
<v Speaker 2>just sitting out there, but it's like I'm just kind

0:33:39.680 --> 0:33:41.360
<v Speaker 2>of waiting for him to get going. But it's like

0:33:41.360 --> 0:33:43.280
<v Speaker 2>a ten team league. It's a ten team company league,

0:33:43.280 --> 0:33:44.920
<v Speaker 2>so I don't I don't feel the push that I got.

0:33:45.120 --> 0:33:46.800
<v Speaker 2>You know, I'll just go with like hot hands right

0:33:46.800 --> 0:33:50.880
<v Speaker 2>now until he starts rocking. But I would also go

0:33:50.920 --> 0:33:54.320
<v Speaker 2>with Wilson Contrera's last one is our boy, Fred Dinger.

0:33:54.640 --> 0:33:57.280
<v Speaker 2>I need to add some sp depth in a fifteen

0:33:57.400 --> 0:34:00.600
<v Speaker 2>team keeper league. Thoughts on a J. Smith with Shaver,

0:34:00.960 --> 0:34:04.200
<v Speaker 2>Tyler Molly or Tobias Harris. If you could only pick

0:34:04.280 --> 0:34:07.080
<v Speaker 2>up one of those guys. Tyler Molly's actually pitching right now,

0:34:07.200 --> 0:34:09.840
<v Speaker 2>got a little run support from Corey Seeger hitting a

0:34:09.880 --> 0:34:13.279
<v Speaker 2>bomb early on against Shota, Tobias Myers is close to

0:34:13.320 --> 0:34:16.000
<v Speaker 2>coming back, and a J. Smith Shaver in that rotation.

0:34:16.040 --> 0:34:17.239
<v Speaker 2>If you can only pick one of those in a

0:34:17.320 --> 0:34:19.640
<v Speaker 2>keeper who would you take? You?

0:34:19.719 --> 0:34:22.239
<v Speaker 3>Said Tobias Harris at first, Do you have a basketball

0:34:22.280 --> 0:34:22.600
<v Speaker 3>on the mind?

0:34:23.000 --> 0:34:25.880
<v Speaker 2>Did I did? I? Yeah, yeah, say the former small forward.

0:34:26.000 --> 0:34:28.520
<v Speaker 2>I do that all the time because I'm a multi

0:34:28.520 --> 0:34:31.080
<v Speaker 2>sport type of person. Yes, Tobias Meyers, I'm.

0:34:31.680 --> 0:34:33.640
<v Speaker 3>I'm just messing with you. I'm just messing with you.

0:34:33.719 --> 0:34:35.439
<v Speaker 2>I thank you for me all the freaking time.

0:34:35.480 --> 0:34:40.360
<v Speaker 3>Now, I don't know that the ceiling is terribly high

0:34:40.360 --> 0:34:44.040
<v Speaker 3>with Tobias Myers or Molly, I think, especially if from

0:34:44.080 --> 0:34:46.520
<v Speaker 3>a keeper standpoint in a deeper league, I think I'm

0:34:46.520 --> 0:34:51.080
<v Speaker 3>going with a J. Smith Shaver. We've seen some instances

0:34:51.080 --> 0:34:52.799
<v Speaker 3>where he kind of looks like he could put it

0:34:52.840 --> 0:34:55.600
<v Speaker 3>together at some point. It hasn't happened yet for him.

0:34:56.640 --> 0:34:58.520
<v Speaker 3>You know, his couple starts this year so far haven't

0:34:58.520 --> 0:35:00.640
<v Speaker 3>been that great. But I think think from a long

0:35:00.760 --> 0:35:03.360
<v Speaker 3>term context, I trust him more than the other guys,

0:35:03.640 --> 0:35:05.919
<v Speaker 3>especially Molly Molly. I just don't really trust the health

0:35:05.960 --> 0:35:08.560
<v Speaker 3>and Myers. Myers could be a decent back end guy,

0:35:08.560 --> 0:35:10.759
<v Speaker 3>but if you're shooting for upside, I think smith Shover

0:35:10.880 --> 0:35:11.680
<v Speaker 3>is probably the way to go.

0:35:12.200 --> 0:35:15.480
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, Molly's not in this unless I'm just like

0:35:15.920 --> 0:35:18.000
<v Speaker 2>I'm trying to play for like some wins and it's

0:35:18.080 --> 0:35:22.480
<v Speaker 2>arrangers and stuff. If that's the only context, which almost

0:35:22.520 --> 0:35:23.719
<v Speaker 2>is like, I don't even care if it's a keeper

0:35:23.719 --> 0:35:27.360
<v Speaker 2>because I'm not going to keep him. Smith Shover's the youngest,

0:35:27.680 --> 0:35:30.320
<v Speaker 2>highest potential. But I will tell you there's a little

0:35:30.360 --> 0:35:33.640
<v Speaker 2>part of me that feels like maybe it's Tobias Myers

0:35:33.680 --> 0:35:37.440
<v Speaker 2>and not Tobias Harris. Obviously he hasn't pitched so far

0:35:37.480 --> 0:35:39.759
<v Speaker 2>this year, but it's just a good year. Last year

0:35:39.840 --> 0:35:43.160
<v Speaker 2>I expected Era was in the fours. I don't know, man,

0:35:44.080 --> 0:35:46.000
<v Speaker 2>I guess that would go Smith Schover. He just hasn't

0:35:46.000 --> 0:35:48.439
<v Speaker 2>been great. His walks are through the roof right now.

0:35:48.520 --> 0:35:50.680
<v Speaker 2>The k percentage isn't up, Like we're not seeing a

0:35:50.719 --> 0:35:55.480
<v Speaker 2>ton of progression at this moment. So maybe you kind

0:35:55.480 --> 0:35:57.000
<v Speaker 2>of almost break it down where it's like, well, hey,

0:35:57.040 --> 0:36:00.480
<v Speaker 2>guess what Molly might be the best wins play, might

0:36:00.520 --> 0:36:02.960
<v Speaker 2>be the best overall play, and Smith Shaver is the

0:36:02.960 --> 0:36:05.960
<v Speaker 2>best long term play. So maybe you can adjust accordingly

0:36:06.360 --> 0:36:09.279
<v Speaker 2>Fred to your team context and that's how you could

0:36:09.280 --> 0:36:11.719
<v Speaker 2>play it. But Molly's kind of on the back end

0:36:11.760 --> 0:36:14.080
<v Speaker 2>there for me, and there you go. That is the

0:36:14.120 --> 0:36:17.160
