54
00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:24,920
Speaker 2: Fantasy Pros, Come and join us. Let's jump into this,

55
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:27,359
Speaker 2: mister Joe Rico, we got the people hanging with us.

56
00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:30,400
Speaker 2: I'm excited to answer more fantasy baseball questions and we

57
00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:33,440
Speaker 2: have baseball going on live. Actually, you know what is

58
00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:36,880
Speaker 2: just a quick ado. Let's do this real quick. It

59
00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:40,000
Speaker 2: is Happy Spencer Strider Day. Spencer Strider is back. He

60
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:43,160
Speaker 2: is pitching as we are recording this. It was an

61
00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:47,000
Speaker 2: incredible first inning. It's waivered a tiny bit, three strikeouts,

62
00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:49,799
Speaker 2: three innings. He's giving up a lot of hard hit

63
00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:53,960
Speaker 2: balls though, mister Spencer Strider already six through three innings.

64
00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:58,400
Speaker 2: He is as we would expect, primary fastball slider. The

65
00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:02,400
Speaker 2: good news is there's there's no heavy, heavy decreases on

66
00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:05,359
Speaker 2: his stuff. His fastballs down a tiny bit, his slider's

67
00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:09,919
Speaker 2: down a tiny bit. No probably you know, news to anybody.

68
00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:12,919
Speaker 2: He's not getting whiffs on the fastball, which I think

69
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:15,440
Speaker 2: is kind of interesting though, nineteen percent whiff rate through

70
00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:18,840
Speaker 2: three innings. He's had twenty one swing so they are

71
00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:22,880
Speaker 2: swinging through their shoes on the fastball for perspective, twenty

72
00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:26,680
Speaker 2: one swings on thirty six fastballs thrown, but only four whiffs.

73
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:31,440
Speaker 2: He's killing the blue Jays with the with the slider though,

74
00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:34,560
Speaker 2: seventy one percent whiff rate early on, but still trying

75
00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:36,960
Speaker 2: to find his feet under him. Any early takes on

76
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:39,000
Speaker 2: what you're seeing out of Spencer Strider going against your

77
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:40,120
Speaker 2: Blue Jays.

78
00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:43,720
Speaker 4: Nothing that's gonna sway me really one way or the other.

79
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:48,440
Speaker 4: Fifteen percent swing strike rate so far through sixty pitches.

80
00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:52,280
Speaker 4: While we're talking, it's it's about what you'd expect from him.

81
00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:53,800
Speaker 4: I think we need to give him a couple of

82
00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:56,120
Speaker 4: starts to find his sea legs again. But you know,

83
00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:59,360
Speaker 4: this has been about what I would have expected. I

84
00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:01,920
Speaker 4: saw vat to mak Brow Junior just got caught stealing second.

85
00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:04,920
Speaker 4: But in terms of Strider so far, three innings, one

86
00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:07,880
Speaker 4: and run, three strikeouts, Maybe I'd hope for a couple

87
00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:10,560
Speaker 4: more strikeouts, but I'm not going to overreact one way

88
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:12,680
Speaker 4: or another. I'm just very happy that he's back. At

89
00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:14,920
Speaker 4: this point, I was thinking we're probably going to get

90
00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:16,480
Speaker 4: into May. They were going to slow play him a

91
00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:19,000
Speaker 4: little bit, but maybe some of the early struggles force

92
00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:20,479
Speaker 4: their hand a little bit. I don't think they're going

93
00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:22,080
Speaker 4: to rush him and put him back out there when

94
00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:24,360
Speaker 4: he's injured. But I'm just very happy to see him

95
00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:25,120
Speaker 4: back on the mound.

96
00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:28,279
Speaker 2: It's a pretty big win for early Strider drafters. I

97
00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:31,080
Speaker 2: know you were saying your big committed league you did

98
00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:34,040
Speaker 2: on NFBC. You ended up getting him around one hundred.

99
00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:38,000
Speaker 2: He obviously vaulted kind of way up as soon as

100
00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:40,120
Speaker 2: we know, he was able to get into spring training

101
00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:42,040
Speaker 2: and we saw the stuff was there, and he's had

102
00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:44,719
Speaker 2: really good minor league assignments. I think this is a

103
00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:47,000
Speaker 2: tough matchup. You know, Blue Jay's a really tough team

104
00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:49,240
Speaker 2: to strike out. Their offense is getting hot. They beat

105
00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:52,760
Speaker 2: up Spencer Schwellenbach. Strider's got to kind of find that

106
00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:55,240
Speaker 2: mix he was getting guys on the fastball. He was

107
00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:58,040
Speaker 2: doing classic stuff early on in the start. If whoever's

108
00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:01,000
Speaker 2: listening didn't watch it, it was be you with fastballs

109
00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:03,880
Speaker 2: and in two strike counts throwing the slider. The slider

110
00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:06,760
Speaker 2: is really off the zone right now. It sounds like

111
00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:10,920
Speaker 2: an under thirty percent zone percentage, so he's not really

112
00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:12,800
Speaker 2: showing them that he's throwing it for strike. So as

113
00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:15,080
Speaker 2: the game went on, I think you're getting a little

114
00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:17,839
Speaker 2: bit less takes on that, and you're going to have

115
00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:20,200
Speaker 2: to start pounding the fastball. So I think that's just

116
00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:23,200
Speaker 2: getting your sea legs under you. I think you might

117
00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:24,680
Speaker 2: have said that it's a good way to put it.

118
00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:27,840
Speaker 2: I think it's pretty encouraging for Spencer Strider here, all

119
00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:31,640
Speaker 2: the Spencers in Atlanta. All right, let's get to some

120
00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:33,840
Speaker 2: of our listeners that are hanging in here. Opportunities where

121
00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:36,040
Speaker 2: people can raise their hand and talk, or you can

122
00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:39,320
Speaker 2: drop stuff in the chat, and let's kick it off

123
00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:42,719
Speaker 2: with our boy Hal stashing Mayo and Kurts in the

124
00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:46,839
Speaker 2: NA with Matt Shaw on the bench. Should I drop

125
00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:51,160
Speaker 2: Shaw or Mayo or hold hoping Kurts is called up soon.

126
00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:54,520
Speaker 2: So the idea there is, let's get Kurts off of

127
00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:56,880
Speaker 2: that NA, So I can na Matt Shaw? Or do

128
00:05:56,960 --> 00:05:59,320
Speaker 2: you think you drop one of those guys right now?

129
00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:02,320
Speaker 2: Because it like what it kind of seems like he

130
00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:04,880
Speaker 2: wants to na Shaw, but it's like, hey, should I

131
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:06,680
Speaker 2: just drop one of these guys because I can't take

132
00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:08,560
Speaker 2: this dead spot with Matt Shaw on the bench. So

133
00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:09,800
Speaker 2: what are you doing in that situation?

134
00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:12,840
Speaker 4: Show, I think you're just dropping Shaw for now. I

135
00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:14,960
Speaker 4: think if you're looking at guys to stash, there are

136
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:16,880
Speaker 4: a couple of decent options. We mentioned a couple of

137
00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:17,760
Speaker 4: them on the Waiver Show.

138
00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:18,839
Speaker 3: I guess you.

139
00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:21,440
Speaker 4: Can't stash Henderson anymore. You can stash Matthews. I mean,

140
00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:24,000
Speaker 4: Bubba cham was probably already gone. But I think Shaw,

141
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:28,200
Speaker 4: you know, it's probably not gonna get right for him

142
00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:30,720
Speaker 4: this season in terms of being a standard league. I'm

143
00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:32,800
Speaker 4: not sure how deep this league is, but for ten

144
00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:34,680
Speaker 4: and twelve team league players, I think we can just

145
00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:36,640
Speaker 4: kind of write him off for the rest of the season.

146
00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:39,640
Speaker 4: That might be a little extreme, but he was really

147
00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:41,640
Speaker 4: not looking great. He was at the bottom of the order.

148
00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:43,359
Speaker 4: I think Shaw, you can you can kind of just

149
00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:45,280
Speaker 4: move on from him at this point. Is that am

150
00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:47,359
Speaker 4: I being unreasonable. Is that too soon to say that.

151
00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:50,280
Speaker 2: I don't think you're being unreasonable. The only thing here

152
00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:53,720
Speaker 2: he said, it's a twelve team. If you have the ability,

153
00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:58,280
Speaker 2: I would be interested in waiting a couple days because

154
00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:00,359
Speaker 2: then if you could stash Matt Shaw. I'm I'm going

155
00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:02,560
Speaker 2: to just take an assumption that there's not like a

156
00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:05,400
Speaker 2: robust amount of if you have two NA spots, I

157
00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:07,920
Speaker 2: bet a lot of the like main guys are taken.

158
00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:12,520
Speaker 2: So if there's not a ton, I feel I'm going

159
00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:14,440
Speaker 2: to wake I'm just gonna say this right now. I

160
00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:16,640
Speaker 2: feel like I'm going to wake up one morning. I

161
00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:18,440
Speaker 2: live on the West Coast. This stuff kind of happens

162
00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:20,960
Speaker 2: a little bit before me. It's gonna be before leading off,

163
00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:23,120
Speaker 2: and we're gonna have the news that Nick Kurts is

164
00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:25,040
Speaker 2: being called up. Like I just feel like I'm gonna

165
00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:26,560
Speaker 2: wake up to that, and I feel like it's gonna

166
00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:29,520
Speaker 2: happen like Friday. So because I have that gut feeling

167
00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:33,040
Speaker 2: me personally, if I can, I would try to hold

168
00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:34,960
Speaker 2: two or three days to see if Kurtz gets a

169
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:36,840
Speaker 2: call up or we get news, so then you can

170
00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:38,800
Speaker 2: in a Matt Shaw. But there is a part of

171
00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:41,560
Speaker 2: me to what you're saying. It might not be for

172
00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:43,560
Speaker 2: this year. We don't know, but I do think Manshaw

173
00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:45,880
Speaker 2: is super talented and I don't want to write him off.

174
00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:47,880
Speaker 2: So if I had the ability to wait a tiny bit,

175
00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:52,440
Speaker 2: that is what I would do. If it's just too dire, Yeah,

176
00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:54,800
Speaker 2: then I think I think Mayo's there. I'm sorry, Shaw

177
00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:56,360
Speaker 2: is the guy to cut. I don't think there's a

178
00:07:56,360 --> 00:07:58,840
Speaker 2: spot for Mayo right now, but he's phenomenal in the

179
00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:02,000
Speaker 2: minor leagues. And you know the Orioles. We were talking

180
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:04,880
Speaker 2: about this on I think it was leading off. They're

181
00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:08,960
Speaker 2: pitching issues. It's like Eflyn is probably a month and

182
00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:11,520
Speaker 2: it wasn't the worst news, but it's not great. Grayson

183
00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:16,000
Speaker 2: Rodriguez is still super super far behind Bradish isn't anytime close.

184
00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:19,680
Speaker 2: Like they could probably use being aggressive and making a move,

185
00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:22,680
Speaker 2: and maybe Kobe Mayo would be at that. But that's

186
00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:25,560
Speaker 2: a long way to say, like you're not being unreasonable.

187
00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:28,160
Speaker 2: But that's how I would personally approach that tough one.

188
00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:28,920
Speaker 2: It's a tough one.

189
00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:32,240
Speaker 3: They should have made. They should have made trades throughout

190
00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:34,560
Speaker 3: the last year plus. They have too many prospects.

191
00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:37,360
Speaker 4: It's just it seems so obvious, especially when you look

192
00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:41,120
Speaker 4: at the starting rotation right now. The joke Morton, Kramer,

193
00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:43,160
Speaker 4: Sagano and Povich, it's a it's a complete joke.

194
00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:46,240
Speaker 2: And well also look at what they did with Corbyn

195
00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:48,520
Speaker 2: Burns that you know, we got the official numbers like

196
00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:51,160
Speaker 2: they weren't even really competitive with Corbyn Burns and trying

197
00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:51,760
Speaker 2: to get him back.

198
00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:54,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah, crazy. I just don't know what. I

199
00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:56,040
Speaker 4: don't know what they've they've essentially they're in the basement

200
00:08:56,040 --> 00:08:58,480
Speaker 4: of the American League East. Things might stay that way.

201
00:08:58,800 --> 00:08:59,079
Speaker 3: Yeah.

202
00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:00,800
Speaker 2: By the way, how said he can wait a few

203
00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:03,640
Speaker 2: days hoping for Kurtz That that's how I would probably

204
00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:08,320
Speaker 2: approach it. Tay, it's a good one. Would you trade

205
00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:13,480
Speaker 2: Kiren Paris to get Marcus Simeon? I think you actually

206
00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:17,120
Speaker 2: were a I know Joe is like heavily trading on Paris.

207
00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:18,920
Speaker 2: I don't actually no, I'm not remembering where you are

208
00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:21,839
Speaker 2: on that. But Marcus Simien has not turned anything around yet.

209
00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:25,760
Speaker 2: He's hitting one eight, one seventeen, He's got one homer,

210
00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:28,280
Speaker 2: he has a sub two hundred OVP, a sub two

211
00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:32,240
Speaker 2: hundred slug. It's as bad as it always is, or

212
00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:35,040
Speaker 2: it can be, though some of the underlying metrics are

213
00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:37,000
Speaker 2: kind of there. He's not striking out a ton, it's

214
00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:38,760
Speaker 2: under twenty percent. He's just not hitting the ball and

215
00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:41,559
Speaker 2: barreling it. But it's super low. Babub What say you

216
00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:45,000
Speaker 2: would you trade a red hot Kiren Paris for the

217
00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:48,960
Speaker 2: ultimate underperforming Marcus Simen. This is the epitome of cell

218
00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:51,320
Speaker 2: high by low or by low Sell high.

219
00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:52,160
Speaker 3: Yeah.

220
00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:54,560
Speaker 4: I think at the end of the day, I would

221
00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:57,680
Speaker 4: still be willing to do this. You know, somebody, I

222
00:09:57,720 --> 00:09:59,800
Speaker 4: forget who was. Somebody posted some stats the other day

223
00:09:59,840 --> 00:10:02,439
Speaker 4: of what the season looked like at this time last year,

224
00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:04,920
Speaker 4: and there are so many anomalies that you see. I mean,

225
00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:07,959
Speaker 4: Miles Straw has more home runs than Vladimir Guerrero Junior. Right,

226
00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:09,760
Speaker 4: we need to put things in the context of the

227
00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:14,480
Speaker 4: small sample size that we've seen. So I think Paris

228
00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:16,280
Speaker 4: is going to come down to earth. I think Semion

229
00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:19,199
Speaker 4: is going to figure things out again. How much more

230
00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:21,520
Speaker 4: valuable Semi are going to be. I think honestly between

231
00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:23,679
Speaker 4: them it might be kind of close. Just with you

232
00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:26,920
Speaker 4: factor in the age related decline with Semion, maybe boost

233
00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:28,840
Speaker 4: up Paris a little bit based on what we've seen

234
00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:31,160
Speaker 4: so far in his offseason work with with the judges,

235
00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:35,120
Speaker 4: hitting coach or swing trainer, whoever that guy was. I

236
00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:37,559
Speaker 4: think they're fairly close. I think if you're trading Paris

237
00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:40,640
Speaker 4: right now, you might be able to get back Semion

238
00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:41,560
Speaker 4: and something else.

239
00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:44,000
Speaker 3: The hype seems to be kind of all over.

240
00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:46,079
Speaker 4: The place with with Karen Parris. There's a lot of

241
00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:48,560
Speaker 4: people who are like fully bought in. I guess it

242
00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:51,599
Speaker 4: depends on that specific owner. But I think at the

243
00:10:51,679 --> 00:10:53,640
Speaker 4: end of the day, the long winded way of saying, yes,

244
00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:55,800
Speaker 4: I would probably make this trade.

245
00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:57,559
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think I would do the same thing. I'm

246
00:10:57,720 --> 00:11:00,560
Speaker 2: a bit more optimistic, I think than most on Kyriene Paris.

247
00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:04,760
Speaker 2: I just I guess I need a longer sample size

248
00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:06,920
Speaker 2: to see what the reality of him looks like, because

249
00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:09,240
Speaker 2: everything was just absurd. He's starting to come down a

250
00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:11,800
Speaker 2: tiny bit, but it's still seventeen percent barrel, fifty eight

251
00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:15,120
Speaker 2: percent hard to hit, strikeouts around twenty five percent. He's

252
00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:18,880
Speaker 2: absolutely destroying left handers right now. It's very I mean,

253
00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:21,079
Speaker 2: I guess it's only seven at bat or it is

254
00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:22,920
Speaker 2: low at bats, but he's got four hits in seven.

255
00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:25,280
Speaker 2: It's a five hundred average. He's hitting three twenty four

256
00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:28,760
Speaker 2: against righties right now, he's hitting homers across both, but

257
00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:32,160
Speaker 2: like what is him versus lefties? Look like he's not

258
00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:34,400
Speaker 2: really striking out right now and he's killing it. Will

259
00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:36,840
Speaker 2: he continue to kill it? All of that again to say,

260
00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:40,400
Speaker 2: I have a belief in Kyen Paris, but I have

261
00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:42,720
Speaker 2: a very strong belief in Buying Low and Marcus Simon

262
00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:44,560
Speaker 2: really at all times, like I think he's just like

263
00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:47,800
Speaker 2: an easy by Low. We know he starts slow, he

264
00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:50,480
Speaker 2: is getting older, and you talk about age declines that's

265
00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:53,000
Speaker 2: out there. Maybe it look silly and foolish, but I'm

266
00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:57,000
Speaker 2: doing that trade understanding that Karen Paris was free ninety

267
00:11:57,080 --> 00:11:58,520
Speaker 2: nine and I have the potential to get like a

268
00:11:58,559 --> 00:12:00,800
Speaker 2: top five second basement. And he could argue, you have

269
00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:03,959
Speaker 2: a top five second basement in Karen Parris. I just

270
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:05,720
Speaker 2: don't think it's going to be at that level. I

271
00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:06,760
Speaker 2: just think at the end of the year, we're going

272
00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:09,000
Speaker 2: to look and be like, man, there's a good season

273
00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:11,280
Speaker 2: for Karen Paris. But what's going to happen when he

274
00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:13,520
Speaker 2: starts to go through it? If he goes through it,

275
00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:15,400
Speaker 2: which I think we all kind of assume, so I

276
00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:19,440
Speaker 2: would do that trade. Tay Swifties says, regarding Nick Kurtz,

277
00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:22,280
Speaker 2: what's a realistic four year expectation outlook asking for a

278
00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:26,120
Speaker 2: keeper league any reasonable comps? Do you anticipate Kurt's exceeding

279
00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:29,440
Speaker 2: soda Strom long term? I'll kind of start with that,

280
00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:32,080
Speaker 2: because I know I do. On the prospect side a

281
00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:34,840
Speaker 2: bit more. I think that's pretty tough to say what

282
00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:38,079
Speaker 2: the full four year expectation is. But I have Nick

283
00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:41,040
Speaker 2: Kurtz as a top twelve prospect right now, so I

284
00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:44,480
Speaker 2: have him high dynasty. I've got him higher than Sodastrom.

285
00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:47,920
Speaker 2: But like I might not have the best read on

286
00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:51,240
Speaker 2: Sodastrom right now, he is the most ridiculous player in baseball.

287
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:56,680
Speaker 2: He might scream sell, especially now that we've hit a

288
00:12:56,679 --> 00:13:00,240
Speaker 2: fever pitch on him, but his hitting profile is really great.

289
00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:03,240
Speaker 2: And here's the other thing with Sodastrum, he lowered the

290
00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:05,640
Speaker 2: strikeout rate right now, it's like eighteen percent, and that's

291
00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:07,439
Speaker 2: something I think Kurts can be. I think Kurts can

292
00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:11,760
Speaker 2: be a good, average, lower strikeout guy. He's got light

293
00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:14,880
Speaker 2: tower power. He's a first base only prospect. What comes

294
00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:17,200
Speaker 2: to mind is a Matt Olsen type of player. But

295
00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:19,200
Speaker 2: Matt Olsen took a couple of years. But I think

296
00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:23,079
Speaker 2: legitimately Kurtz can be like a two sixty plus twenty

297
00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:29,319
Speaker 2: five home run regular, and that's playing the medium range.

298
00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:30,880
Speaker 2: Who could he be at the top, He could be

299
00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:33,240
Speaker 2: a thirty five home run guy. He's in a really

300
00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:36,320
Speaker 2: hitter friendly ballpark for a couple of years. Rookies struggle

301
00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:37,959
Speaker 2: with getting the ball in the air, So I'm kind

302
00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:39,959
Speaker 2: of throwing it around. Let me just tell you, as

303
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:45,200
Speaker 2: far as keepers go, I think he is once he's up,

304
00:13:45,880 --> 00:13:48,120
Speaker 2: he smells like a top eight. If you have an

305
00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:51,199
Speaker 2: eight keeper league, he's that. Is he a top four?

306
00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:52,360
Speaker 3: Nah?

307
00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:54,760
Speaker 2: I don't think so. There's probably better guys. But I

308
00:13:54,800 --> 00:13:58,600
Speaker 2: think he can legitimately be like a poor man's Matt

309
00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:01,720
Speaker 2: Olsen right now. So hopefully that answers it. What say

310
00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:04,360
Speaker 2: you on Nick Kurtz? Prospects can be really tough, especially

311
00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:07,000
Speaker 2: when you're not the biggest prospect guy in the planet, Like,

312
00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:09,760
Speaker 2: how do you go about evaluating what a four year

313
00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:12,480
Speaker 2: production for him would be when that's not like your bag.

314
00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:14,800
Speaker 4: I think you can get a decent baseline if you

315
00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:18,200
Speaker 4: look at the zips projection system that my colleague Danzenborski

316
00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:21,120
Speaker 4: does at Fangrafts. It goes and it looks ahead for

317
00:14:21,160 --> 00:14:23,440
Speaker 4: twenty twenty five, twenty twenty six, and twenty twenty seven.

318
00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:25,880
Speaker 3: It gives you a projection looking forward.

319
00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:29,440
Speaker 4: A lot of the time with rookies slash prospects, the

320
00:14:29,520 --> 00:14:32,080
Speaker 4: projections aren't that rosy, and you kind of have to

321
00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:35,480
Speaker 4: factor in the growth yourself. But the projections that Zips

322
00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:37,520
Speaker 4: has for him for this year is the seven hundred

323
00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:39,880
Speaker 4: ops with eleven homers in one hundred and four games.

324
00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:42,160
Speaker 4: In twenty twenty six, they project that to go up

325
00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:44,720
Speaker 4: to seven fourteen ops and then by twenty twenty seven

326
00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:46,240
Speaker 4: seven to fifty ops.

327
00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:47,640
Speaker 3: And that is being a.

328
00:14:47,640 --> 00:14:50,280
Speaker 4: Little bit more conservative, like I said, like projections for

329
00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:52,920
Speaker 4: these guys without any major league example sizes are usually

330
00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:56,840
Speaker 4: not the greatest, but Zips does seem to like him

331
00:14:56,880 --> 00:14:59,600
Speaker 4: quite a bit. They project the two to seventy batting

332
00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:01,400
Speaker 4: average with in the next couple of years as well

333
00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:04,680
Speaker 4: not striking out a ton, good on base rate. Like

334
00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:07,160
Speaker 4: there's a lot to really like here, and if you

335
00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:09,880
Speaker 4: factor in the potential growth like well just mentioned that ballpark,

336
00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:12,000
Speaker 4: I think Matt Olsen is a great comp I think

337
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:14,040
Speaker 4: that that could be what he turns into. A guy

338
00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:16,840
Speaker 4: who gives you thirty plus home runs consistently while hitting

339
00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:19,960
Speaker 4: somewhere in the two fifty to sixty range. That actually

340
00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:21,680
Speaker 4: might have been exceed what Elsin's done for a lot

341
00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:23,960
Speaker 4: of his career. But I think that's a pretty perfect

342
00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:24,640
Speaker 4: compy put there.

343
00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:24,800
Speaker 3: Well.

344
00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:26,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, and the A's I think have done a good

345
00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:31,320
Speaker 2: job about understanding their environment, understanding their hitters. And you know,

346
00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:33,280
Speaker 2: we've kind of odd at like man look at like

347
00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:36,520
Speaker 2: Brent Rooker, he's really bad. Like I think they understand

348
00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:38,360
Speaker 2: both of those things. And you're going to get a

349
00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:40,680
Speaker 2: guy like Nick Kurtz and a hitter friendly environment that

350
00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:42,040
Speaker 2: it's going to be like we just got to get Nick.

351
00:15:42,080 --> 00:15:43,240
Speaker 2: You got to get the ball in the air, like

352
00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:47,920
Speaker 2: you're gonna have. He has some monster ninetieth percentile evs

353
00:15:48,040 --> 00:15:51,400
Speaker 2: and fiftieth percentile evs and that you know, the top

354
00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:54,520
Speaker 2: fifty percent of hits and whatnot. Like he's going to

355
00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:56,280
Speaker 2: barrow the ball. He's going to get the ball in

356
00:15:56,320 --> 00:15:59,040
Speaker 2: the air, hopefully at best here and he hits the

357
00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:02,280
Speaker 2: ball really hard, gonna fly in Sacramento, And my god,

358
00:16:02,320 --> 00:16:03,840
Speaker 2: if you get him up in the next week or so.

359
00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:08,080
Speaker 2: He is going to fly fly as the summer months

360
00:16:08,080 --> 00:16:10,280
Speaker 2: go on. So that's the expectation. That's why we're all

361
00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:13,280
Speaker 2: pretty high. Dexter had said, can you talk about Anthony Kurtz,

362
00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:15,600
Speaker 2: Bubba Chandler and if there must adds in ten team leagues?

363
00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:19,680
Speaker 2: Dropping guys like Resouls and Paul gold Schmidt, Volpi, So again,

364
00:16:19,880 --> 00:16:22,800
Speaker 2: very prospect heavy right now. You letting go of Olsen,

365
00:16:22,920 --> 00:16:25,840
Speaker 2: Schmidt or Volpi for all prospects that are not up

366
00:16:25,880 --> 00:16:27,600
Speaker 2: in a ten team league. I think that's hard to do.

367
00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:30,320
Speaker 2: Kurtz is one. I probably would, but I don't think

368
00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:34,600
Speaker 2: I'm dropping Volpi. I might drop Resouls and for Bubba

369
00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:37,520
Speaker 2: Chandler because I think he soon. Anthony's the one. I

370
00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:40,600
Speaker 2: don't think I'm making a move quite yet on Goldie.

371
00:16:40,760 --> 00:16:41,320
Speaker 2: What say you?

372
00:16:42,280 --> 00:16:46,480
Speaker 4: I think you're probably okay to just keep who you

373
00:16:46,560 --> 00:16:48,680
Speaker 4: have if you want it to move on from Olsen

374
00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:52,120
Speaker 4: to Stash Kurtz, I think I'd be okay with that.

375
00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:56,600
Speaker 3: But even Roman Anthony, like, I don't know what the

376
00:16:56,600 --> 00:16:57,440
Speaker 3: Red Sox are going to do.

377
00:16:57,480 --> 00:17:00,800
Speaker 4: Their offense hasn't been amazing what he's done in Triple

378
00:17:00,840 --> 00:17:03,360
Speaker 4: A so far this year he's got what is it,

379
00:17:03,400 --> 00:17:06,160
Speaker 4: a nine to forty one? Ohps, He's barreling the crap

380
00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:08,320
Speaker 4: out of the ball. I feel like he's gonna take

381
00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:09,480
Speaker 4: Rafael a spot.

382
00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:11,200
Speaker 3: At some point.

383
00:17:11,840 --> 00:17:13,880
Speaker 4: Well, if I would rather have Anthony or Kurtz rest

384
00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:15,560
Speaker 4: of season, I think honestly that one is going to

385
00:17:15,600 --> 00:17:18,919
Speaker 4: be closer than people probably realize. But I think that

386
00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:20,640
Speaker 4: Olsen would be the drop. If you're going to drop

387
00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:22,359
Speaker 4: one of those three guys there, I think.

388
00:17:22,280 --> 00:17:24,640
Speaker 2: It's probably the end of the day. In a ten team,

389
00:17:24,720 --> 00:17:28,080
Speaker 2: you could all of that because there's probably good available guys.

390
00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:29,840
Speaker 2: I think Kurtz is the only one that I'm like

391
00:17:29,960 --> 00:17:33,159
Speaker 2: actively doing. Anthony's picked it back up. I mean it

392
00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:35,119
Speaker 2: took a short amount of time too. I mean, like

393
00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:36,959
Speaker 2: less than a week ago he was hitting like a

394
00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:40,080
Speaker 2: Buck sixteen or whatever it was Buck sixty. But he's

395
00:17:40,359 --> 00:17:42,320
Speaker 2: starting to get back in. I think the problem with

396
00:17:42,480 --> 00:17:45,320
Speaker 2: him is, like he is really blocked the Red Sox.

397
00:17:45,320 --> 00:17:47,040
Speaker 2: I don't think they want to give up on Raphael

398
00:17:47,080 --> 00:17:49,439
Speaker 2: anytime soon. The defensive play he made the other day, like,

399
00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:51,000
Speaker 2: I don't think you can get Anthony in for that.

400
00:17:51,040 --> 00:17:54,639
Speaker 2: They got Yoshida coming back. William is a he's going

401
00:17:54,720 --> 00:17:56,879
Speaker 2: to be the strong side platoon guy even if Anthony

402
00:17:56,960 --> 00:17:58,120
Speaker 2: were to come up. So I just don't know where

403
00:17:58,119 --> 00:18:02,880
Speaker 2: he fits right now. So the aggressiveness order is Kurtz,

404
00:18:03,080 --> 00:18:06,000
Speaker 2: Bubba Chandler and then Anthony. But ten team leagues do

405
00:18:06,119 --> 00:18:08,920
Speaker 2: allow you to do a little bit more, which is nice. Friends.

425
00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:07,600
Speaker 2: we leave off new Nuah says was offered Chris Sale

426
00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:11,000
Speaker 2: and Bogarts for Camonaro and Brandon Lau. He's got Machado

427
00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:13,680
Speaker 2: and Kirby and Pablo Lopez on the iel.

428
00:19:14,119 --> 00:19:14,680
Speaker 3: This is a.

429
00:19:14,600 --> 00:19:17,720
Speaker 2: Redraft head to head catch which cats? Which side do

430
00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:22,640
Speaker 2: you want? So Machado? I think he mean he has

431
00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:24,760
Speaker 2: Machado for third base and then he's got Kirby and

432
00:19:24,760 --> 00:19:28,240
Speaker 2: Lopez that are on the iel. He is getting Sale

433
00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:31,239
Speaker 2: in bogarts, he's giving up camon Aro and Lao. What

434
00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:31,720
Speaker 2: do you think?

435
00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:39,359
Speaker 5: It's the Smuckers Uncrustables podcast with your host Uncrustables. Okay,

436
00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:43,160
Speaker 5: today's guest is rough around the edges. Please welcome crust

437
00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:46,720
Speaker 5: thanks for having me. Today's topic. He's round with soft,

438
00:19:46,720 --> 00:19:50,639
Speaker 5: pillowy bread hey filled with delicious peebnjay. Are you talking

439
00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:53,160
Speaker 5: about yourself? And you can take him anywhere?

440
00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:55,920
Speaker 2: Why do you invite? And we are out of time?

441
00:19:56,800 --> 00:19:59,800
Speaker 2: Are you really cutting me off? Uncrustables are the best

442
00:19:59,800 --> 00:20:00,760
Speaker 2: part of the sandwich.

443
00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:04,720
Speaker 3: Sorry, crust I think I'm doing that trade.

444
00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:07,160
Speaker 4: We just talked about Chris Sale yesterday as a solid

445
00:20:07,160 --> 00:20:10,479
Speaker 4: by low ogarts. I think it is just a pretty

446
00:20:10,560 --> 00:20:15,000
Speaker 4: solid roto slash category league player where he's gonna still

447
00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:16,520
Speaker 4: get his stats at the end of the season. You're

448
00:20:16,560 --> 00:20:18,880
Speaker 4: gonna be looking at like seventeen home or seventeen steels,

449
00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:21,679
Speaker 4: something like that, decent batting average, and I think you

450
00:20:21,760 --> 00:20:24,160
Speaker 4: need the pitching right now. With Lopez going down, Kirby

451
00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:26,399
Speaker 4: probably isn't gonna be up for too much longer, but

452
00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:29,080
Speaker 4: I think it would be a good idea to reinforce

453
00:20:29,119 --> 00:20:31,600
Speaker 4: your staff with another ace, and you already have third

454
00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:34,080
Speaker 4: base coverage, So I think I'm taking that deal.

455
00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:36,960
Speaker 2: I think I am actually doing that as well. Machada

456
00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:40,960
Speaker 2: gets you good coverage. You're gonna have reinforcements in Kirby

457
00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:43,480
Speaker 2: probably the next couple of weeks, hopefully Lopez as well.

458
00:20:43,840 --> 00:20:46,480
Speaker 2: Sale kind of he's like one of the number one

459
00:20:46,520 --> 00:20:49,680
Speaker 2: buys right now. You know, stats don't look super great,

460
00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:52,439
Speaker 2: but underlying it's still Chris Sale. Maybe he has a

461
00:20:52,440 --> 00:20:56,520
Speaker 2: good bridge gap to you getting those guys back Bogarts.

462
00:20:56,920 --> 00:21:00,480
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm assuming Camonaro is probably your quarnering. I

463
00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:02,880
Speaker 2: guess Bogarts is not going to qualify there, but he's

464
00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:04,840
Speaker 2: a good service, believe, and if it's util I like

465
00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:08,560
Speaker 2: this trade a lot. I'm very much into that. All right,

466
00:21:08,680 --> 00:21:10,680
Speaker 2: We'll see if I can get to say yeah yeah quickly.

467
00:21:10,760 --> 00:21:14,520
Speaker 4: Well, So, Spencer Stryder's velo seems to be falling throughout

468
00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:16,879
Speaker 4: the start. I'm just kind of keeping track of it

469
00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:19,440
Speaker 4: here in the background. And his fastball in the third

470
00:21:19,440 --> 00:21:22,440
Speaker 4: and fourth inning, He's thrown some fastballs in the ninety three,

471
00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:25,320
Speaker 4: ninety four, ninety five range when he was starting out,

472
00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:29,159
Speaker 4: you know, ninety seven ninety six, So it looks like

473
00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:31,399
Speaker 4: even through just fifty sixty pitches, he's not able to

474
00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:32,520
Speaker 4: hold that velocity right.

475
00:21:32,359 --> 00:21:34,639
Speaker 2: Now, Yeah, I'm looking. So in the first inning it

476
00:21:34,840 --> 00:21:38,080
Speaker 2: was ninety seven. It's a lot of like ninety seven's

477
00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:41,080
Speaker 2: with ninety seven point nine somewhere between, let's call it

478
00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:44,680
Speaker 2: ninety six and ninety eight right in there. So then

479
00:21:44,760 --> 00:21:47,240
Speaker 2: jumping up to what you're saying, in the most recent inning,

480
00:21:47,800 --> 00:21:51,560
Speaker 2: we have ninety five ninety six. That's okay. There was

481
00:21:51,600 --> 00:21:54,960
Speaker 2: a little run there, especially with Kirk. I see ninety four,

482
00:21:55,440 --> 00:22:00,399
Speaker 2: ninety four, ninety five, that's Bassett here. Yeah, look like

483
00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:02,800
Speaker 2: it dipped a tiny bit. There's a fastball he threw

484
00:22:02,840 --> 00:22:06,000
Speaker 2: at ninety three. It was actually that was that that

485
00:22:06,160 --> 00:22:09,240
Speaker 2: fourth inning? Yeah, fourth inning. It looks like it pared

486
00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:11,680
Speaker 2: down something interesting to watch. He's not carrying the vello

487
00:22:11,800 --> 00:22:14,040
Speaker 2: in a little bit later. That would be where you

488
00:22:14,080 --> 00:22:16,760
Speaker 2: would hope a guy like him would would go to

489
00:22:16,800 --> 00:22:18,720
Speaker 2: some secondaries. But he's kind of a two pitch. But yeah,

490
00:22:18,720 --> 00:22:22,320
Speaker 2: he's topped at ninety seven point nine today, so not

491
00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:25,520
Speaker 2: quite one hundred percent healthy. That also or just you know,

492
00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:27,720
Speaker 2: back into rear form to me is like, man, if

493
00:22:27,720 --> 00:22:30,000
Speaker 2: you can get any buys on him, I really do

494
00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:32,919
Speaker 2: love it. But yeah, very interesting to monitor with the

495
00:22:33,320 --> 00:22:35,000
Speaker 2: Do you take anything away from that when you see

496
00:22:35,040 --> 00:22:37,119
Speaker 2: Velos a little bit later drop, I'm not sure I

497
00:22:37,119 --> 00:22:38,719
Speaker 2: don't do it with Strider. I'm not gonna say I'm

498
00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:41,200
Speaker 2: not sure one hundred percent don't with Strider coming off

499
00:22:41,240 --> 00:22:43,040
Speaker 2: of injury. But it's not something you love.

500
00:22:43,560 --> 00:22:46,159
Speaker 4: No, not that I love to see at all, especially

501
00:22:46,440 --> 00:22:48,600
Speaker 4: after like if it was like at ninety some odd

502
00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:52,120
Speaker 4: pitches he starts to lose some ticks. Okay, first start back,

503
00:22:52,200 --> 00:22:55,680
Speaker 4: but at the sixty pitch mark, fifty sixty pitch mark,

504
00:22:55,800 --> 00:22:58,000
Speaker 4: it's something a monitor, it's not there's no move to

505
00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:00,119
Speaker 4: be made. You're not obviously dropping or trading it or

506
00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:02,800
Speaker 4: anything like that. But if we start to see consistently

507
00:23:02,840 --> 00:23:05,359
Speaker 4: Strider in the ninety four ninety five range, that would

508
00:23:05,400 --> 00:23:06,760
Speaker 4: be a bit of a concern.

509
00:23:06,760 --> 00:23:08,120
Speaker 3: And he's averaging ninety five today.

510
00:23:08,119 --> 00:23:10,360
Speaker 4: He's topped out at ninety eight minimum of ninety three,

511
00:23:10,440 --> 00:23:12,199
Speaker 4: so we're gonna have to keep a close eye on

512
00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:12,560
Speaker 4: that one.

513
00:23:12,720 --> 00:23:14,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, and it's through four actually, so it looks like

514
00:23:14,840 --> 00:23:17,040
Speaker 2: that fourth inning. It looks like the third inning is

515
00:23:17,040 --> 00:23:19,800
Speaker 2: where the velo really dipped, and I think that was

516
00:23:19,840 --> 00:23:21,880
Speaker 2: coming back through the lineup, and then the fourth inning

517
00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:24,879
Speaker 2: it popped back a tiny bit, not a bunch, didn't

518
00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:27,320
Speaker 2: give up any new hard hits. So through four innings

519
00:23:27,320 --> 00:23:30,280
Speaker 2: it was four strikeouts, one and run, four hits, six

520
00:23:30,760 --> 00:23:33,320
Speaker 2: hard hit balls. The hard hit balls were spread out

521
00:23:33,359 --> 00:23:35,720
Speaker 2: every The top five in the order all have a

522
00:23:35,720 --> 00:23:37,960
Speaker 2: hard hit against Stryder by the way on the big guys.

523
00:23:37,960 --> 00:23:40,440
Speaker 2: So just a I like that we're doing that interesting

524
00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:43,560
Speaker 2: look on it's like a live spencer Strider breakdown. All right,

525
00:23:43,560 --> 00:23:45,280
Speaker 2: this is an essay. Let's see if we can do this.

526
00:23:46,040 --> 00:23:50,439
Speaker 2: Six player league got for my pitching Hellsley Miller, Alvarado

527
00:23:50,840 --> 00:23:55,480
Speaker 2: RPS with Crochet, Fried Gallen, Gilbert, Gore, Schwellenbach, Holmes, Strider.

528
00:23:55,880 --> 00:23:56,480
Speaker 2: It's really good.

529
00:23:56,560 --> 00:23:58,359
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's an it's a hell of a staff.

530
00:23:58,440 --> 00:24:00,000
Speaker 2: So it looks like this is like, what do you

531
00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:03,000
Speaker 2: think it's amazing? Do I have too many closers? No,

532
00:24:03,400 --> 00:24:05,920
Speaker 2: got lots of options on the waiver wire like Glass

533
00:24:05,960 --> 00:24:09,400
Speaker 2: Now Ryan, I don't know who Berby is. I'm gonna

534
00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:11,919
Speaker 2: guess Kirby and more starting pitchers that aren't obvious in

535
00:24:11,960 --> 00:24:13,879
Speaker 2: the league number one on the power ranking but number

536
00:24:13,880 --> 00:24:17,240
Speaker 2: four this week. And then he says Tyler Molly.

537
00:24:18,480 --> 00:24:20,800
Speaker 3: Myank goodness, that's obviously.

538
00:24:20,320 --> 00:24:22,840
Speaker 2: A ten team league. So no, you should keep pace

539
00:24:22,920 --> 00:24:27,200
Speaker 2: with that incredible pictures. Long term, I would rather have

540
00:24:28,160 --> 00:24:32,159
Speaker 2: Joe Ryan over Holmes. And if you had to, you

541
00:24:32,240 --> 00:24:36,200
Speaker 2: got to cut Gore for Kirby. Well, glass now is

542
00:24:36,240 --> 00:24:38,640
Speaker 2: also glass? Now you have to add glass now? Now

543
00:24:38,680 --> 00:24:42,919
Speaker 2: I'm cutting homes are Kirby now for Glass now? And

544
00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:46,639
Speaker 2: then I'm watching to pick up Kirby in about a

545
00:24:46,680 --> 00:24:48,880
Speaker 2: week and I'm dropping the other one. That's how I'm

546
00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:49,320
Speaker 2: doing this.

547
00:24:49,840 --> 00:24:51,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm totally there with you.

548
00:24:51,560 --> 00:24:53,280
Speaker 4: I think he said, I think it's a six man league,

549
00:24:53,320 --> 00:24:55,120
Speaker 4: just based on six player league.

550
00:24:55,119 --> 00:24:57,239
Speaker 2: I oh, that says six player league. I didn't even

551
00:24:57,240 --> 00:24:57,440
Speaker 2: see that.

552
00:24:57,520 --> 00:25:00,280
Speaker 3: You're right, six and that would be fun. That looks

553
00:25:00,280 --> 00:25:01,879
Speaker 3: like a fun league to play. And you've seen glass

554
00:25:01,920 --> 00:25:02,800
Speaker 3: now on the waiver wire.

555
00:25:02,880 --> 00:25:06,760
Speaker 2: Man, I'm pretty firm. I used to, you know, like

556
00:25:06,800 --> 00:25:09,320
Speaker 2: on your high horse about fantasy, you'd be like, I'm

557
00:25:09,359 --> 00:25:11,760
Speaker 2: gonna play in deeper leagues, and you know deeper leagues

558
00:25:11,760 --> 00:25:15,400
Speaker 2: you're real competitive. Yeah, yeah, yeah, a little bit. Fifteen

559
00:25:15,440 --> 00:25:19,320
Speaker 2: team I'll tell you. As somebody that just plays lots

560
00:25:19,359 --> 00:25:22,320
Speaker 2: of stuff all the time, because you know, I'm a

561
00:25:22,359 --> 00:25:26,080
Speaker 2: fantasy analyst and stuff, there's something beautiful about a ten

562
00:25:26,119 --> 00:25:29,560
Speaker 2: team league. I firmly say, if you're someone that plays

563
00:25:29,600 --> 00:25:31,680
Speaker 2: in multiple leagues, get a ten team league in there,

564
00:25:31,720 --> 00:25:33,480
Speaker 2: just to feel good, because like, I play in so

565
00:25:33,560 --> 00:25:36,439
Speaker 2: many deep leagues and it's you know, it's keepers and

566
00:25:36,520 --> 00:25:39,400
Speaker 2: re drafts, and it's fifteen or sixteen even in football

567
00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:42,280
Speaker 2: as well. There's just something so great about ten team

568
00:25:42,359 --> 00:25:44,960
Speaker 2: leagues with great waiver wires on there I highly I

569
00:25:44,960 --> 00:25:46,959
Speaker 2: don't know a sixteen six man would be awesome, but

570
00:25:47,040 --> 00:25:49,679
Speaker 2: ten team leagues are totally have to be in your

571
00:25:49,720 --> 00:25:52,280
Speaker 2: repertoire of fun if you're playing in multiple But that's

572
00:25:52,320 --> 00:25:53,000
Speaker 2: just my take on it.

573
00:25:53,080 --> 00:25:56,600
Speaker 4: Totally home league is ten teams and that's my most

574
00:25:56,760 --> 00:25:57,880
Speaker 4: the league I enjoyed the most.

575
00:25:58,200 --> 00:26:00,959
Speaker 2: Yeah, the Fantasy pros, the the whole company. We have

576
00:26:01,080 --> 00:26:03,320
Speaker 2: multiple leagues across and they're all ten team leagues and

577
00:26:03,359 --> 00:26:06,760
Speaker 2: it's great. It's it really is. Let's see we had

578
00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:09,679
Speaker 2: it's look at another prospect one Bazana, Noah Schultz twenty

579
00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:12,720
Speaker 2: twenty five ETA or am I wasting roster spots drafted

580
00:26:12,720 --> 00:26:14,360
Speaker 2: in the last rounds in a four year ten team

581
00:26:14,440 --> 00:26:16,640
Speaker 2: keeper league. I'm and win now window when last year

582
00:26:16,680 --> 00:26:18,800
Speaker 2: and can compete for the next two to three years.

583
00:26:19,359 --> 00:26:22,359
Speaker 2: I do not think Banzana and Schultz are gonna do

584
00:26:22,880 --> 00:26:25,760
Speaker 2: anything of big impact this year. If I had to

585
00:26:25,800 --> 00:26:28,159
Speaker 2: pick one, it's Bizana because I don't think there's a

586
00:26:28,200 --> 00:26:31,440
Speaker 2: lockdown second basement in Cleveland. He's killing it. He should

587
00:26:31,480 --> 00:26:34,600
Speaker 2: be in Triple A. So could he come up in

588
00:26:34,760 --> 00:26:38,000
Speaker 2: JUNI or July. Yes, I do think that's a possibility.

589
00:26:38,600 --> 00:26:42,959
Speaker 2: Noah's Schultz. I'm less optimistic on they could do anything.

590
00:26:43,080 --> 00:26:45,040
Speaker 2: I'm not saying they won't, but what are the White

591
00:26:45,040 --> 00:26:47,399
Speaker 2: Socks playing for right now? And he's in Double A,

592
00:26:47,760 --> 00:26:49,840
Speaker 2: and why would they want to start clocks and push

593
00:26:49,920 --> 00:26:52,480
Speaker 2: these guys have a big healthy season because he's been unhealthy.

594
00:26:52,520 --> 00:26:56,040
Speaker 2: So I think Noah's Schultzen are in a redraft perspective,

595
00:26:56,160 --> 00:26:59,760
Speaker 2: is wasting space. Bazana maybe not. I guess it just

596
00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:03,240
Speaker 2: ends on who's out there in redraft. I put together

597
00:27:03,320 --> 00:27:05,880
Speaker 2: on my I have an in this League dot com

598
00:27:05,880 --> 00:27:09,159
Speaker 2: into my Patreon. I do a weekly twenty five redrafts

599
00:27:10,080 --> 00:27:14,240
Speaker 2: for prospects for redraft. Banzana is on that list, Noah

600
00:27:14,280 --> 00:27:16,959
Speaker 2: Schultz is not. So it depends on the people. But

601
00:27:17,280 --> 00:27:19,199
Speaker 2: I would at least probably dump no A. Shultz right

602
00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:21,359
Speaker 2: now unless it's a keeper. Oh you did say it's

603
00:27:21,359 --> 00:27:22,080
Speaker 2: a keeper league?

604
00:27:23,880 --> 00:27:25,359
Speaker 3: How many keepers? How many keepers?

605
00:27:25,359 --> 00:27:30,960
Speaker 2: Though you know it's a ten team keeper league. If

606
00:27:30,960 --> 00:27:34,159
Speaker 2: you don't have any designation for prospects, I'm going to

607
00:27:34,200 --> 00:27:35,960
Speaker 2: stand to what I said. I think Schultz is actually

608
00:27:36,040 --> 00:27:40,280
Speaker 2: kind of a waste. If you have no prospect keeper designations,

609
00:27:40,400 --> 00:27:41,440
Speaker 2: I think that makes it tough.

610
00:27:41,920 --> 00:27:42,080
Speaker 1: Tough.

611
00:27:42,160 --> 00:27:44,520
Speaker 2: Keep leagues are difficult. It' difficult with prospects and everything

612
00:27:44,560 --> 00:27:46,800
Speaker 2: like that. Bazana would be I would hold Bazana in

613
00:27:46,840 --> 00:27:48,720
Speaker 2: that in that I think he could maybe produce now

614
00:27:49,240 --> 00:27:52,720
Speaker 2: or this year at some point, and that from a

615
00:27:52,800 --> 00:27:55,239
Speaker 2: keeper's perspective, he might be kind of fun. All right,

616
00:27:55,480 --> 00:27:57,639
Speaker 2: you want to plow through a couple of these other ones, Joey.

617
00:27:57,680 --> 00:27:59,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, what do we got here? Would you drop?

618
00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:03,840
Speaker 4: Uhbitch t stash Bubba Chandler. I would not do that

619
00:28:03,920 --> 00:28:06,880
Speaker 4: a ten team league. I just I couldn't get behind

620
00:28:06,920 --> 00:28:09,359
Speaker 4: it boo, which has been amazing. I mean, we're saying this.

621
00:28:09,640 --> 00:28:11,440
Speaker 4: He's starting tonight against the Yankees, and now that I've

622
00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:13,600
Speaker 4: said this, I've probably doomed him to a bad start.

623
00:28:13,640 --> 00:28:15,800
Speaker 3: But couldn't do that, could you?

624
00:28:16,119 --> 00:28:18,359
Speaker 2: I don't think so. But like in a ten team league,

625
00:28:18,359 --> 00:28:20,800
Speaker 2: you have the ability to because there's gonna be good

626
00:28:20,800 --> 00:28:23,080
Speaker 2: options that are out there. We be on the lookout.

627
00:28:23,320 --> 00:28:25,159
Speaker 2: Joe and I just did a waiver wire video. We

628
00:28:25,200 --> 00:28:27,600
Speaker 2: talked about some hitters and some pictures some of the

629
00:28:27,600 --> 00:28:29,720
Speaker 2: pitchers that are out there, Especially like a ten team league,

630
00:28:29,720 --> 00:28:32,919
Speaker 2: you're probably more likely to have the Jose Sorianos and

631
00:28:32,920 --> 00:28:35,359
Speaker 2: stuff like that out there. That I could see, but like,

632
00:28:35,400 --> 00:28:37,679
Speaker 2: I'm not sure I would waste a roster spot on Bubba.

633
00:28:37,680 --> 00:28:41,040
Speaker 2: Bubba's also been a little little walk heavy early on,

634
00:28:41,200 --> 00:28:42,880
Speaker 2: so he might be one of those dudes that's like

635
00:28:43,560 --> 00:28:47,240
Speaker 2: four innings, eight strikeouts, two walks and trouble get during five.

636
00:28:47,320 --> 00:28:50,240
Speaker 2: I would keep with Bubitch right now, Sterling says someone

637
00:28:50,280 --> 00:28:52,600
Speaker 2: dropped Rasmussen. Should I drop any of the following to

638
00:28:52,640 --> 00:28:54,400
Speaker 2: pick him up? This is a head to head points

639
00:28:54,520 --> 00:28:59,360
Speaker 2: keeper on Yahoo? Would you drop Puck McGill, Shane Smith

640
00:28:59,440 --> 00:29:02,600
Speaker 2: was nesky byby story Burger or Jackson Holiday to pick

641
00:29:02,640 --> 00:29:05,240
Speaker 2: up rass Mussen in a points keeper league.

642
00:29:05,200 --> 00:29:07,800
Speaker 3: AJ Puck, I drop Ajpuck for him out of that group.

643
00:29:08,160 --> 00:29:11,200
Speaker 2: I dropped Shane Smith out of that easy. I mean

644
00:29:11,640 --> 00:29:14,680
Speaker 2: he has has two RP slots. Though Puck is big

645
00:29:14,720 --> 00:29:20,120
Speaker 2: strikeouts and gets the primary saves in Arizona, I'm dropping Smith.

646
00:29:20,960 --> 00:29:22,440
Speaker 3: Is he getting the primary saves though?

647
00:29:22,560 --> 00:29:26,200
Speaker 2: I mean Justin Martinez just didn't get to save the

648
00:29:26,280 --> 00:29:27,720
Speaker 2: other day and they went back to Puck. I mean,

649
00:29:27,960 --> 00:29:30,440
Speaker 2: I think it's it's not one closer. They're going to

650
00:29:30,520 --> 00:29:33,440
Speaker 2: go to guys, but Puck is like to those two,

651
00:29:33,720 --> 00:29:35,840
Speaker 2: Puck is the high leverage guy. And also in a

652
00:29:35,840 --> 00:29:38,520
Speaker 2: points league, he's gonna get innings with strikeouts. So that's

653
00:29:38,520 --> 00:29:41,320
Speaker 2: why to me, this is easy. Like I'll get rid

654
00:29:41,360 --> 00:29:43,400
Speaker 2: of the White Sox even though he's been good. I'll

655
00:29:43,440 --> 00:29:45,400
Speaker 2: get rid of the White Sox starting pitcher who's going

656
00:29:45,480 --> 00:29:48,640
Speaker 2: to struggle to ever get wins and run support. I

657
00:29:48,680 --> 00:29:51,000
Speaker 2: would keep because if you have to have our peace spots,

658
00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:52,520
Speaker 2: I just don't want to get rid of Puck right now.

659
00:29:53,360 --> 00:29:55,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, No, I think that's fair, okay, and.

660
00:29:56,120 --> 00:29:58,880
Speaker 2: Mass Musen should be RP eligible in that a little sparp,

661
00:29:58,960 --> 00:30:02,080
Speaker 2: so that's fun. Sour grape, says Luis Robert or Kurtz

662
00:30:02,120 --> 00:30:05,240
Speaker 2: for a bench spot on my Dynasty Keeper League six

663
00:30:05,320 --> 00:30:07,360
Speaker 2: by six category. Oh, Luis Robert.

664
00:30:07,080 --> 00:30:10,200
Speaker 3: Still, yeah, it's got to be lou Bob. Yeah, disrespects

665
00:30:10,200 --> 00:30:12,239
Speaker 3: gone a little bit too far. I think I get it.

666
00:30:13,160 --> 00:30:16,720
Speaker 2: Let's see Elziba, says Victor Scott or Stephen.

667
00:30:16,400 --> 00:30:23,640
Speaker 3: Kuan, probably Kwan, probably Kuan.

668
00:30:23,960 --> 00:30:27,000
Speaker 2: It's Kwan. I mean, Victor Scott's fun, but he's getting pushed,

669
00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:28,560
Speaker 2: you know, he gets pushed down the lineup nup Bar

670
00:30:28,640 --> 00:30:30,720
Speaker 2: is still at the top. Kwan is just such a

671
00:30:30,720 --> 00:30:37,360
Speaker 2: great contact hitter. Environment's pretty good, Relliant. The only the

672
00:30:37,360 --> 00:30:39,760
Speaker 2: only way Scott pushes that is if you're like, I'm

673
00:30:39,920 --> 00:30:43,080
Speaker 2: desperate for stolen bases, but in points leagues, Kwan's better.

674
00:30:43,080 --> 00:30:46,040
Speaker 2: In category leagues, Kuwan's probably gonna chip in more outside

675
00:30:46,080 --> 00:30:49,080
Speaker 2: of stolen bases. So I would go with him, Brisco,

676
00:30:49,240 --> 00:30:51,880
Speaker 2: this will be I think our final one in here.

677
00:30:52,120 --> 00:30:55,920
Speaker 2: Brisco says thoughts on Ben Rice and Jonathan Ronda's hot start.

678
00:30:56,000 --> 00:31:01,160
Speaker 2: Do we think it's legit? I am a firm Ben

679
00:31:01,280 --> 00:31:04,080
Speaker 2: Rice believer. If he were available in your ten team

680
00:31:04,120 --> 00:31:08,320
Speaker 2: leagues out there, make him not available. I'm not quite

681
00:31:08,320 --> 00:31:10,959
Speaker 2: as big as Ronda. We talked about him wh leading off.

682
00:31:10,960 --> 00:31:12,520
Speaker 2: We got him in the waiver wire video. If you

683
00:31:12,560 --> 00:31:16,040
Speaker 2: want to have a short little take on it, Joe

684
00:31:16,040 --> 00:31:18,600
Speaker 2: of Ronda, let's do a Ronda versus Ben Rice for you.

685
00:31:19,520 --> 00:31:21,840
Speaker 4: So yeah, I've gone on a lot about Ronda today.

686
00:31:21,880 --> 00:31:24,160
Speaker 4: I'd like him a lot. I think he's really solid.

687
00:31:24,240 --> 00:31:26,920
Speaker 4: The hard hit data is good, the ballpark is good,

688
00:31:27,920 --> 00:31:31,360
Speaker 4: Ben Rice, I mean, this is this is star type

689
00:31:31,360 --> 00:31:34,240
Speaker 4: of stuff what we're seeing from him. Five home runs

690
00:31:34,240 --> 00:31:36,560
Speaker 4: in a couple steals already, He's got a three eighty.

691
00:31:36,320 --> 00:31:37,400
Speaker 3: Five on base rate.

692
00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:40,440
Speaker 4: The data is you have to like double check it,

693
00:31:40,520 --> 00:31:43,160
Speaker 4: refresh your pages because he looks wrong. Sixty two percent

694
00:31:43,240 --> 00:31:46,760
Speaker 4: hard hit rate, twenty five percent barel rate to this point.

695
00:31:46,840 --> 00:31:49,000
Speaker 4: Last year it was a fifteen percent barrel rate. So

696
00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:51,680
Speaker 4: it's not like this is completely out of nowhere. But

697
00:31:51,720 --> 00:31:53,400
Speaker 4: I think the biggest part of it is that he's

698
00:31:53,480 --> 00:31:56,000
Speaker 4: leading off for the Yankees. The concern coming into the

699
00:31:56,040 --> 00:31:58,440
Speaker 4: year a little bit was platoon risk. When they faced

700
00:31:58,440 --> 00:32:01,440
Speaker 4: the lefty last on Friday the eleventh, he padded second.

701
00:32:01,560 --> 00:32:03,600
Speaker 4: So if he's gonna be alternating first or second in

702
00:32:03,640 --> 00:32:06,720
Speaker 4: that order, hitting right ahead of guys like Judge and

703
00:32:06,800 --> 00:32:09,840
Speaker 4: Bellinger and Jazz Chisholm, I think Rice is the choice

704
00:32:09,880 --> 00:32:11,720
Speaker 4: between the two of them. But Ronda is also like

705
00:32:11,720 --> 00:32:14,120
Speaker 4: I mentioned earlier, Ronda by WRC plus has been the

706
00:32:14,120 --> 00:32:16,720
Speaker 4: best hitter in baseball this year. So they're both great pickups,

707
00:32:16,840 --> 00:32:18,240
Speaker 4: but I would go with Rice if I had to

708
00:32:18,240 --> 00:32:18,800
Speaker 4: just choose one.

709
00:32:19,160 --> 00:32:23,160
Speaker 2: Samsey, Samsey's I think Rice can that leadoff spot, that

710
00:32:23,360 --> 00:32:27,479
Speaker 2: hitting profile in Yankee Stadium. I think he We're going

711
00:32:27,520 --> 00:32:30,160
Speaker 2: to look back and you know, I mean, it's a

712
00:32:30,160 --> 00:32:32,600
Speaker 2: long season to go, but I think at worse, we're

713
00:32:32,640 --> 00:32:34,960
Speaker 2: gonna be like, oh hey, top five best pickups of

714
00:32:34,960 --> 00:32:37,160
Speaker 2: this year. Ben Rice is in there right now. He

715
00:32:37,240 --> 00:32:39,400
Speaker 2: looks like one of the best. Tyler Soderstrom is probably

716
00:32:39,400 --> 00:32:41,400
Speaker 2: like number one, But I think ben Rice is like

717
00:32:41,400 --> 00:32:44,120
Speaker 2: a very close behind two quick ones in here. IPO

718
00:32:44,240 --> 00:32:46,920
Speaker 2: said Cam Smith or Kurtz when he arrives, what do

719
00:32:46,920 --> 00:32:47,520
Speaker 2: you think Joe.

720
00:32:47,560 --> 00:32:51,760
Speaker 4: Would probably take the chance on Hurtz. Smith has not

721
00:32:51,920 --> 00:32:55,600
Speaker 4: been terribly impressive to this point. He's been fine, I guess,

722
00:32:55,680 --> 00:32:59,720
Speaker 4: but you know, what are we looking at? Two fourteen

723
00:32:59,720 --> 00:33:02,160
Speaker 4: pack average, one homer one steal? I think I would

724
00:33:02,200 --> 00:33:03,680
Speaker 4: take a shot on the upside with Kurtz.

725
00:33:04,200 --> 00:33:07,320
Speaker 2: The Big Dance except or Decline got offered Lindor and

726
00:33:07,360 --> 00:33:12,440
Speaker 2: Adolice Garcia for Bets and Alvarados. You're trading Bets to

727
00:33:12,560 --> 00:33:16,320
Speaker 2: get Lindor essentially, and then you got to give away

728
00:33:16,320 --> 00:33:19,320
Speaker 2: the closer for Philly to get Adolice Garcia. I am

729
00:33:19,480 --> 00:33:20,560
Speaker 2: a no on that.

730
00:33:21,120 --> 00:33:27,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think it's it's relatively even. I think if

731
00:33:27,360 --> 00:33:30,840
Speaker 4: you're like really set for saves, maybe you do it.

732
00:33:30,880 --> 00:33:32,520
Speaker 3: But I think I'm with Twelsh.

733
00:33:33,040 --> 00:33:35,360
Speaker 2: Okay, a couple more keep coming in here. What's a

734
00:33:35,400 --> 00:33:38,240
Speaker 2: good comp for I think you mean, like a trade

735
00:33:38,280 --> 00:33:40,600
Speaker 2: comp for de Grom willing to pair Jazz or Ozzy

736
00:33:40,720 --> 00:33:44,680
Speaker 2: into a blockbuster. So that's an interesting one. So I

737
00:33:44,680 --> 00:33:47,360
Speaker 2: guess what is the I guess, like, what's the trade

738
00:33:47,400 --> 00:33:50,480
Speaker 2: like willing to pair Jazz or Ozzy to do oh?

739
00:33:50,480 --> 00:33:52,640
Speaker 2: I think he's saying to Gram and one of those,

740
00:33:52,680 --> 00:33:55,280
Speaker 2: to go get something. So you're gonna pair Jazz or

741
00:33:55,320 --> 00:33:57,640
Speaker 2: Ozzy with your Grom. The only problem is is you're

742
00:33:57,680 --> 00:34:01,400
Speaker 2: pairing you did Jazz. You're pairing two underperforming players to

743
00:34:01,520 --> 00:34:03,760
Speaker 2: go and try to get what you know, Like if

744
00:34:03,760 --> 00:34:06,360
Speaker 2: you're trading away to Gram and one of those, like

745
00:34:06,400 --> 00:34:08,480
Speaker 2: what are you trying to get? And how do you

746
00:34:08,520 --> 00:34:09,000
Speaker 2: approach it?

747
00:34:09,040 --> 00:34:09,200
Speaker 3: Too?

748
00:34:09,239 --> 00:34:10,560
Speaker 2: Because they're both underperforming.

749
00:34:10,640 --> 00:34:15,640
Speaker 4: Joe, Yeah, I think if I'm trading like de Gram

750
00:34:15,680 --> 00:34:18,720
Speaker 4: with either of them, I'm gonna want more in return

751
00:34:18,760 --> 00:34:19,960
Speaker 4: than most people are gonna want.

752
00:34:19,800 --> 00:34:20,759
Speaker 3: To be willing to give up.

753
00:34:20,840 --> 00:34:24,680
Speaker 4: I would want to have probably gonna sound kind of crazy,

754
00:34:24,680 --> 00:34:26,680
Speaker 4: but i'd want a first round player coming back. Jazz

755
00:34:26,800 --> 00:34:30,320
Speaker 4: was going mid second de Grom I think is still

756
00:34:30,360 --> 00:34:33,160
Speaker 4: gonna be fine. I'm a little worried, Don't get me wrong,

757
00:34:33,160 --> 00:34:34,640
Speaker 4: I'm a little worried, but I think de Gram is

758
00:34:34,640 --> 00:34:36,799
Speaker 4: still gonna end up being perfectly fine by the end

759
00:34:36,840 --> 00:34:37,320
Speaker 4: of the season.

760
00:34:37,680 --> 00:34:40,920
Speaker 2: You'd have to get like a not not quite underperforming,

761
00:34:40,960 --> 00:34:43,840
Speaker 2: but you'd have to be like like like Julio, Like

762
00:34:43,920 --> 00:34:47,479
Speaker 2: Julio hasn't knocked off any doors for anybody, Like that's

763
00:34:47,480 --> 00:34:49,640
Speaker 2: the type because you're not gonna get Carol, You're not

764
00:34:49,680 --> 00:34:51,719
Speaker 2: You're probably not gonna get Gunner, You're not gonna get

765
00:34:51,719 --> 00:34:54,120
Speaker 2: any real first rounders, So you'd have to target like

766
00:34:54,160 --> 00:34:56,640
Speaker 2: an underperformed I gotta be honest with you, I just

767
00:34:56,640 --> 00:34:59,200
Speaker 2: don't see how it works, especially if you're trying to

768
00:34:59,200 --> 00:35:02,440
