00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:05,280
Speaker 1: The Ultimate Outfield. Let's talk to the pros. Welcome in

2
00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:08,480
Speaker 1: everybody to Fantasy pros. This is the Fantasy Baseball Podcast.

3
00:00:08,520 --> 00:00:11,600
Speaker 1: It's me Joey P joe Pisapia and today it's all

4
00:00:11,600 --> 00:00:14,600
Speaker 1: about the outfield. That's right, it's the Ultimate Outfield Guide.

5
00:00:14,600 --> 00:00:17,080
Speaker 1: We're going to talk about all the sleepers, the bus,

6
00:00:17,079 --> 00:00:19,599
Speaker 1: the must haves, all of that with me, and of

7
00:00:19,640 --> 00:00:22,160
Speaker 1: course the Welsh follow him on the Twitter machine net.

8
00:00:22,400 --> 00:00:25,200
Speaker 1: Is it the Welsh? No question mark, It's more of

9
00:00:25,239 --> 00:00:29,479
Speaker 1: a definitive, constant searching for the true inner Welsh in

10
00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:32,560
Speaker 1: all of us. And speaking of inner Welsh's essential. Yeah,

11
00:00:32,680 --> 00:00:36,680
Speaker 1: you had some existential zen time at camp, not not

12
00:00:36,720 --> 00:00:39,960
Speaker 1: summer camp or day camp, but at Rangers Camp and

13
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:42,199
Speaker 1: Seattle Camp. So before we get to all of that,

14
00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:45,040
Speaker 1: I want to know, were you in there massaging Jacob

15
00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:48,960
Speaker 1: de Gram's side injury over Rangers Camp? What did you see?

16
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:52,280
Speaker 1: I saw you your tweeted some Julio Rodriguez VP. That

17
00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:53,640
Speaker 1: was very exciting. How did that go?

18
00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:57,800
Speaker 2: Everything was great because it wasn't band camp. No, uh yeah, summer.

19
00:00:57,480 --> 00:00:58,760
Speaker 1: Camp can be fun.

20
00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:00,880
Speaker 2: You know those camp up on Friday. Now that I'm

21
00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:03,040
Speaker 2: thinking about it, it's a good point. Yeah. No. So

22
00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:06,679
Speaker 2: the Thursday I was over at Rangers camp and the

23
00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:10,039
Speaker 2: minute I walked in, the rumor was spreading that Jacob

24
00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:13,800
Speaker 2: de Gram had little HURDI hurt here or there. I

25
00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:15,959
Speaker 2: will tell you though, what I was told was he

26
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:17,880
Speaker 2: threw today. I did not go over to Rangers camp,

27
00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:20,560
Speaker 2: but I got to go and watch all the pitchers

28
00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:23,600
Speaker 2: through a session. Andrew Heini, Nadi Evaldi, some of the prospects,

29
00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:25,920
Speaker 2: Kumar Rocker, Jack Lighter, which I put a tweet out

30
00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:28,400
Speaker 2: if you want to check out the Jack Lighter VP session.

31
00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:31,600
Speaker 2: Catchers are there no hitters today? I went to Mariner's

32
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:34,640
Speaker 2: camp and as we're recording this and everybody was there.

33
00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:37,080
Speaker 2: I got what a couple of people were like. I

34
00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:38,760
Speaker 2: didn't realize that Welsh was going to be the first

35
00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:41,200
Speaker 2: person with a Julio shot this year, but I got

36
00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:43,959
Speaker 2: the first photo of him out in the outfield Jared

37
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:47,280
Speaker 2: Klnick and Julio Rodriguez VP. I talked to a couple

38
00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:50,440
Speaker 2: of prospects, pretty much everybody. Almost everybody was out at

39
00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:53,600
Speaker 2: camp really good spirits. Johanil Suarez was in good spirits.

40
00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:56,120
Speaker 2: JP Crawford was that there. Knew Colton Wong was working

41
00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:58,240
Speaker 2: with those guys who were kind of in groups but cool.

42
00:01:58,240 --> 00:01:58,360
Speaker 1: You know.

43
00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:00,280
Speaker 2: Julio was the talk of the town because he'll be

44
00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:03,600
Speaker 2: leaving soon for WBC. Bought some really great VP sessions

45
00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:07,680
Speaker 2: and maybe some other good notes. It is freezing, though, Joe.

46
00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:10,880
Speaker 2: It was thirty seven degrees when I got into camp,

47
00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:13,639
Speaker 2: and I was wearing shorts like a dummy.

48
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:17,280
Speaker 1: In a like it was sixty seven degrees in Jersey today.

49
00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:18,440
Speaker 1: I was loving life.

50
00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:21,040
Speaker 2: I told you going on, I told you, and I

51
00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:23,440
Speaker 2: told Bogman this part of why de Gram got pushed

52
00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:27,040
Speaker 2: on Wednesday as well. It snowed the night before like

53
00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:29,920
Speaker 2: in our general area, and it was in the mid thirties,

54
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:32,400
Speaker 2: low forties when camp opened up, and it was wet,

55
00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:33,880
Speaker 2: and the rangers are just like, we're not going to

56
00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:36,400
Speaker 2: put him out there because he had suffered. I think

57
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:38,920
Speaker 2: they just said, like a little discomfort. But again, like

58
00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:41,000
Speaker 2: I said, he I think he threw today, and I

59
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:43,560
Speaker 2: think that is optimistic. I am not going to let

60
00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:46,280
Speaker 2: you screw with me and get me off the Jacob

61
00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:49,600
Speaker 2: de Grim band. So I'm being attacked by everybody. Kelly,

62
00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:53,160
Speaker 2: the Wonky Penguin attacked me online. You were the first

63
00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:56,600
Speaker 2: person to give me I told you so a message.

64
00:02:56,760 --> 00:02:58,680
Speaker 1: Wow, it wasn't as much I told you so as

65
00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:01,600
Speaker 1: so much as I mean, I do not wish him ill.

66
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:04,360
Speaker 1: I love Jacob de Grom, but it's I'm just not

67
00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:06,799
Speaker 1: drafting him, or should I say I'm not drafting him

68
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:10,239
Speaker 1: where he's going. It's absurd. He's outside my top twenty.

69
00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:12,240
Speaker 1: SP's for a reason because I like guys who take

70
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:14,480
Speaker 1: the ball every fifth days. Now we're going to talk.

71
00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:18,440
Speaker 1: That's right, that's right, I can, and it's easy. It

72
00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:20,880
Speaker 1: is easy. That's a whole other show. We have The

73
00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:23,760
Speaker 1: Starting Pitcher Ultimate Guide coming next week with Nick Pollock

74
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:26,280
Speaker 1: joining us, so stay tuned for that. In the meantime,

75
00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:28,400
Speaker 1: it's about the outfield, so let's get after it before

76
00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:31,040
Speaker 1: we do. Just to remind you, the Draft Assistant the

00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:32,360
Speaker 1: All right, let's talk about some of the outfielders that

100
00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:34,960
Speaker 1: have the tools to make our fantasy teams. Let's talk

101
00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:36,880
Speaker 1: a little bit about the sleepers. Let's talk about the

102
00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:39,599
Speaker 1: players that are a little underrated, and we'll start with

103
00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:41,400
Speaker 1: the Welsh. Welsh, who do you have or are you

104
00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:43,720
Speaker 1: just gonna do three outfielders. Who's number one on your

105
00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:47,320
Speaker 1: list of guys that are under valued underappreciated sleepers in

106
00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:48,120
Speaker 1: twenty twenty three.

107
00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:50,480
Speaker 2: Now, I do want to say, I do think it's

108
00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:53,320
Speaker 2: the sleeper and then the last section we're doing of

109
00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:55,520
Speaker 2: like the must halves, they kind of intertwine. So I

110
00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:57,440
Speaker 2: want everybody to know this, like every guy that I'm

111
00:04:57,480 --> 00:05:01,120
Speaker 2: going to mention as my sleepers are players that are

112
00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:04,599
Speaker 2: like must haves for me. So hopefully you guys understand

113
00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:07,160
Speaker 2: that this is probably the highest of the ranked players.

114
00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:09,760
Speaker 2: But on my sleeper list, a guy that I think

115
00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:12,479
Speaker 2: can be a top twenty outfielder and I really just

116
00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:16,479
Speaker 2: kind of sat on stupidly in the offseason is Taylor Ward.

117
00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:19,599
Speaker 2: Taylor Ward on Fantasy pros ADP. If you guys, go

118
00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:24,120
Speaker 2: and look thirty two in outfield right now, a beautiful

119
00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:27,960
Speaker 2: red Baseball Savant page in the upper at least eighty

120
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:31,159
Speaker 2: percent tileent just about everything, just I mean, expected slug

121
00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:34,240
Speaker 2: was eighty nine percent tile. His ex wOBA was inside

122
00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:37,640
Speaker 2: the top ten percent last year with the three sixty one.

123
00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:42,760
Speaker 2: He made improvements against fastballs and off speed this past year.

124
00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:45,440
Speaker 2: Where you know you want to look at like exit

125
00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:48,320
Speaker 2: velocity on hits. Every single hit in twenty twenty one

126
00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:52,080
Speaker 2: against the variations of pitches had about an exit velocity

127
00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:55,000
Speaker 2: around eighty seven except for off speed, which is eighty

128
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:58,680
Speaker 2: three percent. Check this out. In twenty twenty two, fastballs

129
00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:01,839
Speaker 2: went up by four miles per hour on average on

130
00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:05,239
Speaker 2: his exit velocity, and the off speed went by about

131
00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:07,800
Speaker 2: seven miles per hour. So he's just hitting the ball

132
00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:09,560
Speaker 2: harder even though he doesn't pop off on a hard

133
00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:11,880
Speaker 2: hit percentage. And he still put up pretty great numbers

134
00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:14,960
Speaker 2: twenty three homers, five stolen bases while hitting two eighty

135
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:18,080
Speaker 2: one the expected batting average, I think is going to

136
00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:20,640
Speaker 2: kind of keep him boosted. It's not like too far

137
00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:23,200
Speaker 2: down where it's like from two eighty one down to

138
00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:25,880
Speaker 2: two sixty eight. It's in the range you want. EV's

139
00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:28,239
Speaker 2: went up. He had a career high MAXIV one twelve.

140
00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:30,320
Speaker 2: All this stuff is to like sit here and tell

141
00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:33,680
Speaker 2: you listen, Taylor Ward is being undervalued, and you've got

142
00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:36,919
Speaker 2: Mike Trout, Shoheyo Tani, Anthony Rindon returning a lot of

143
00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:40,440
Speaker 2: pieces out there for RBI opportunities. I think where he's

144
00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:42,520
Speaker 2: going outside the top one hundred he really does have

145
00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:45,600
Speaker 2: top twenty outfield upside. So he's a sleeper this year

146
00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:47,240
Speaker 2: and he should be a target of yours.

147
00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:50,360
Speaker 1: I don't mind where he's going in draft right now,

148
00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:52,919
Speaker 1: but I love it. I love We're already off to

149
00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:54,800
Speaker 1: a start where we're going to disagree about something. I

150
00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:59,119
Speaker 1: don't love Taylor Ward period. And here's why.

151
00:06:59,160 --> 00:06:59,600
Speaker 2: What he did.

152
00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:01,719
Speaker 1: It was a big chunk of the season last year

153
00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:05,520
Speaker 1: from July to August, where he hit around two hundred.

154
00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:07,599
Speaker 1: He struck out forty eight times in the two months

155
00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:09,520
Speaker 1: he had an OBP under three hundred. This is when

156
00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:11,360
Speaker 1: everybody was talking about, oh, he's the greatest thing ever

157
00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:12,880
Speaker 1: in the first two months of the season, and I said,

158
00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:17,400
Speaker 1: wait until the adjustments come. And the league did adjust

159
00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:19,640
Speaker 1: to him in a huge way. Now, to his credit,

160
00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:22,840
Speaker 1: he did adjust back all the way in September. September

161
00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:24,880
Speaker 1: he had three forty five. It was a stunning month

162
00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:26,960
Speaker 1: for him. He had nine to seventy two ops. So

163
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:29,720
Speaker 1: he brought everything around. But really, I mean you could

164
00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:31,520
Speaker 1: even throw June into this mix too, because June was

165
00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:34,880
Speaker 1: not great for him. He was an incredible starter. April

166
00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:38,960
Speaker 1: and May he was outstanding, thousand ops. Everything you could

167
00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:42,120
Speaker 1: possibly want. And then the next three months he was

168
00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:45,640
Speaker 1: a drag. Okay, so that's my only thing with Taylor Ward,

169
00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:46,920
Speaker 1: and you know me to play a lot of head

170
00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:48,840
Speaker 1: to head. That stuff bothers me about him. If you're

171
00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:50,840
Speaker 1: playing roto, it's less of an issue with me. I

172
00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:52,640
Speaker 1: can already tell you want to fight me, so let's go.

173
00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:53,120
Speaker 1: Let's fight.

174
00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:57,120
Speaker 2: No, No, not at all. I disagree to your point. Actually,

175
00:07:57,160 --> 00:07:59,160
Speaker 2: think what you're saying is really important because one thing

176
00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:01,920
Speaker 2: that happens a lot with like full season stuff many

177
00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:04,720
Speaker 2: people do is you look at the like the totality

178
00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:06,320
Speaker 2: of it, and you're just like, oh, okay, this is cool.

179
00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:07,640
Speaker 2: Because you look at the first half he hit two

180
00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:09,000
Speaker 2: eighty six. You look at the second half, he at

181
00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:12,480
Speaker 2: two eighty seven. That variance isn't like a problem. But

182
00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:16,440
Speaker 2: to your point, there were two completely unserviceable months. Two

183
00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:21,280
Speaker 2: July and August were of No, you wasn't great. No, No,

184
00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:23,920
Speaker 2: June was two fifty six. He was Okay, it wasn't fantastic.

185
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:26,320
Speaker 2: But like my counter to it is kind of exactly

186
00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:28,920
Speaker 2: what you said. He ended the season strong. He had

187
00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:32,480
Speaker 2: three of the six months that he hit over three hundred,

188
00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:34,920
Speaker 2: a fine month of two fifty six. Not everything's going

189
00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:37,360
Speaker 2: to be great, and he had two really garbage months,

190
00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:39,360
Speaker 2: But this is just a guy that puts the ball,

191
00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:42,440
Speaker 2: that puts a bat on the ball, consistently, makes pretty

192
00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:44,800
Speaker 2: good hard contact, made big changes, put still put up

193
00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:47,840
Speaker 2: good numbers even in those two stinky months. He hit

194
00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:51,040
Speaker 2: six homers, only one stolen base in that time. That

195
00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:53,160
Speaker 2: I just think you know that X woe, but tells

196
00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:54,800
Speaker 2: you a decent amount on the story as well that

197
00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:56,280
Speaker 2: this guy's going to continue to hit and there's a

198
00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:58,880
Speaker 2: lot of people around him. I won't disagree that. Like,

199
00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:02,600
Speaker 2: if he starts going up and up and then you

200
00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:04,520
Speaker 2: have to you have like no room for growth as

201
00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:06,400
Speaker 2: far as his value goes, that's kind of kind of suck.

202
00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:08,040
Speaker 2: But I don't think that's where.

203
00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:10,559
Speaker 1: He's going now. I can tolerate. I can tolerate him now,

204
00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:13,680
Speaker 1: especially in season long roto in any head to head

205
00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:16,520
Speaker 1: format in suspicious because when you're not good for two

206
00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:19,200
Speaker 1: and a half months of a season, that is a problem.

207
00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:21,640
Speaker 1: And you said, you use the word yourself unstartable almost

208
00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:23,280
Speaker 1: that was pretty much where he was. All Right, I'm

209
00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:25,360
Speaker 1: gonna start things off here with Trey Mancini, I'm gonna

210
00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:27,600
Speaker 1: cut this guy some slack, Okay. I think he's still

211
00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:29,640
Speaker 1: working his way back. I mean, you know, he had

212
00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:33,400
Speaker 1: a an okay season last year eighteen bombs, sixty three RBI.

213
00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:36,120
Speaker 1: He split time. Obviously, he got traded to the Houston Astros,

214
00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:38,600
Speaker 1: which was fantastic. Now he's been playing for the Cubs,

215
00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:41,360
Speaker 1: I think he's being kind of underappreciated. He also qualifies

216
00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:43,520
Speaker 1: at more than one spot, which I also think is

217
00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:46,120
Speaker 1: still an intriguing piece of this puzzle. He is right

218
00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:50,199
Speaker 1: now going around outfielder number sixty six off the board. Actually,

219
00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:52,400
Speaker 1: he's moved up a little bit over the last twenty

220
00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:55,400
Speaker 1: four hours since we put the show together, so that's encouraging.

221
00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:57,439
Speaker 1: But I look at this guy as you know, you're

222
00:09:57,440 --> 00:10:00,640
Speaker 1: looking for some cheap power late. Getting him a ballpark

223
00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:02,960
Speaker 1: like the Cubs, I think is a good situation for him.

224
00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:05,960
Speaker 1: He'll be a little bit newer to that league also,

225
00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:07,880
Speaker 1: and if you look at some of the bottom feed

226
00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:10,680
Speaker 1: or pitching, you're gonna get there from the Reds at times,

227
00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:13,280
Speaker 1: from the Pittsburgh Pirates at times. I think this is

228
00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:16,040
Speaker 1: a good situation for him to kind of rediscover a

229
00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:18,040
Speaker 1: little bit of that power upside. So I think this

230
00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:20,000
Speaker 1: is a player that's a big sleeper for me. I'm

231
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:22,480
Speaker 1: going to put him in that grouping. The next guy

232
00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:25,280
Speaker 1: on your list, Welsh is a player that I don't

233
00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:27,480
Speaker 1: know if we've left a mock draft without you getting

234
00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:29,640
Speaker 1: so far, so I can only imagine we're going there.

235
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:30,760
Speaker 1: So let's do it.

236
00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:33,800
Speaker 2: This is the number one player that you could say

237
00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:35,760
Speaker 2: should be on my must haves as well, because I

238
00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:38,160
Speaker 2: have this player everywhere. I talked about him on CBS,

239
00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:40,280
Speaker 2: I talked about him a lot of places. It's just

240
00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:42,360
Speaker 2: I think the values there and it's largs Newpar, So

241
00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:43,760
Speaker 2: no one's going to be shocked if they've heard me

242
00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:48,160
Speaker 2: talk about Lars Newpar. He was phenomenal. Plate presence is

243
00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:51,000
Speaker 2: in general fourteen percent walk rate, which was awesome. He

244
00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:54,720
Speaker 2: had a top ten percent exit velocity. Another one of

245
00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:57,280
Speaker 2: these guys that is just like big hard hit numbers

246
00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:01,240
Speaker 2: xwelve but eighty second percent time. And last season his

247
00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:04,120
Speaker 2: batting average it kind of stunk, but he had an

248
00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:07,200
Speaker 2: almost twenty percent differential between his batting average and is

249
00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:11,440
Speaker 2: expected higher two twenty batting average with a two forty

250
00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:15,880
Speaker 2: seven expected batting average. Also in over four hundred expected slug.

251
00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:19,200
Speaker 2: All of those things are good. Those are good. He

252
00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:23,320
Speaker 2: had fourteen homers in just under three hundred at bats,

253
00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:26,160
Speaker 2: and he had some stolen bases. And I think it's

254
00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:28,400
Speaker 2: Stubby Clapp, who is the one of the hitting coaches

255
00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:30,000
Speaker 2: for the Cardinals. It's a great name. It's an all

256
00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:32,440
Speaker 2: time name. He's funny too, because he's like five foot one.

257
00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:33,920
Speaker 2: I saw him in the Arizona Follig a couple of

258
00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:36,200
Speaker 2: years ago. He's so nice. There was a BP session

259
00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:38,520
Speaker 2: not to create all chaos, but people do know I

260
00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:41,360
Speaker 2: like Lars Nubar, and I got tweeted or added to

261
00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:44,760
Speaker 2: this on Twitter that during the first BP session, out

262
00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:47,199
Speaker 2: of five I think it was five pitches, Lars Nubar

263
00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:50,600
Speaker 2: hit four homers and Stubby Clapp looked over and went

264
00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:55,160
Speaker 2: check please for Lars Nubar. Lars is a phenomenal, almost

265
00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:58,320
Speaker 2: George Springer like type of leadoff hitter with big power.

266
00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:00,840
Speaker 2: He can run. I think the run totals are going

267
00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:03,679
Speaker 2: to be up there. The question is playing time, of course,

268
00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:06,280
Speaker 2: because they're loaded. I just don't think Lars is someone

269
00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:09,120
Speaker 2: that we have to worry about. Fifty first in Fantasy

270
00:12:09,160 --> 00:12:12,280
Speaker 2: pros outfielder adp I have him higher. I probably have

271
00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:14,760
Speaker 2: him one of the highest as far as the ECR

272
00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:17,360
Speaker 2: rankers go. He's going to be on all of my teams,

273
00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:19,160
Speaker 2: and hopefully I'm not going to regret it by him

274
00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:21,400
Speaker 2: coming out. But he is an absolute sleeper, and I

275
00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:23,480
Speaker 2: really do think twenty ten is on the table with

276
00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:24,240
Speaker 2: the Cardinals.

277
00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:27,439
Speaker 1: I'm fascinated by your fascination with Lars Nwsbar because it's

278
00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:30,760
Speaker 1: a player who has a three seventy three career slugging

279
00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:32,600
Speaker 1: in the minor leagues over two hundred games. So it

280
00:12:32,640 --> 00:12:35,120
Speaker 1: wasn't like the power was there. Now look, granted, perhaps

281
00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:37,280
Speaker 1: this is something he's finding. And you saw the fourteen

282
00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:39,240
Speaker 1: home runs last year and one hundred and eight major

283
00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:42,880
Speaker 1: league games. That's very important to me. The batting average

284
00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:46,800
Speaker 1: two twenty eight, you know, not the greatest situation too, fifty.

285
00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:48,720
Speaker 2: Expected almost a two fifty expected batting average.

286
00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:50,720
Speaker 1: So you know, I'll tell you what I think. You're right.

287
00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:52,079
Speaker 1: I think it's a player on the rise. I think

288
00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:53,640
Speaker 1: it's a lot of a player too, where people are

289
00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:56,320
Speaker 1: still not sure if they're ready to buy in. So therefore,

290
00:12:56,320 --> 00:12:58,200
Speaker 1: if you're getting him as the fifty first outfielder. Then

291
00:12:58,200 --> 00:12:59,280
Speaker 1: that's a pretty good situation.

292
00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:01,079
Speaker 2: That's kind of my big thing I just wanted to

293
00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:02,920
Speaker 2: throw out is right there, like where does he.

294
00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:05,080
Speaker 1: Move to the range where you don't like him? Like,

295
00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:07,600
Speaker 1: what where does he does if he gets to forty five?

296
00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:09,359
Speaker 1: Or you are you lessons?

297
00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:11,559
Speaker 2: Like I'll tell you this when I'm in drafts and

298
00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:14,800
Speaker 2: I'm around one twenty five overall, I'm starting to look

299
00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:16,600
Speaker 2: at Lar's new part and I'm starting to pay attention

300
00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:18,360
Speaker 2: to the guys that are out there, and I'm gonna

301
00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:21,480
Speaker 2: start going for him. I mean, I think he's a

302
00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:23,559
Speaker 2: guy enough where if he were like inside the top

303
00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:25,800
Speaker 2: thirty or thirty five, I'm gonna be like, all right,

304
00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:28,439
Speaker 2: what are we doing here? But like anywhere in the forties,

305
00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:29,920
Speaker 2: I just think is a deal. I think it's it.

306
00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:32,120
Speaker 2: And I don't think he's gonna rise any higher. Because

307
00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:34,600
Speaker 2: you got Jordan Walker that's sniffing around, you got Dylan

308
00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:38,440
Speaker 2: Carlson who's still out there, Juan ya Pez, Tyler O'Neal.

309
00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:39,960
Speaker 2: I mean, there's a lot of dudes that are out there,

310
00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:42,200
Speaker 2: so I completely acknowledge that. But Lars is a guy

311
00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:44,240
Speaker 2: I think that's gonna come out and He's gonna come

312
00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:44,959
Speaker 2: out winning.

313
00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:47,319
Speaker 1: All right. Next guy on my list as a sleeper

314
00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:51,200
Speaker 1: is somebody that I crushed last year. I absolutely crushed.

315
00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:53,280
Speaker 2: Hate for show. I also want to I do hate

316
00:13:53,280 --> 00:13:55,000
Speaker 2: this one. This is almost one of my busts. And

317
00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:55,720
Speaker 2: I didn't put him on.

318
00:13:56,120 --> 00:13:58,640
Speaker 1: I know, and you know what, at outfield, there's sixty four.

319
00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:01,120
Speaker 1: Just like man seeing me at sixty six. I'll take

320
00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:03,520
Speaker 1: a flyer on Jesse Winker in Milwaukee. It's just a

321
00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:06,320
Speaker 1: much better hitting environment for him, back to where he

322
00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:09,839
Speaker 1: had his best success in the National League Central. And

323
00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:12,360
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say this about Winker that I've always said

324
00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:14,080
Speaker 1: this is a player that had some issues and then

325
00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:17,520
Speaker 1: he had that miraculous first four months of a season

326
00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:19,280
Speaker 1: a couple years ago was All Star. People were talking

327
00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:22,840
Speaker 1: about this guy's an MVP candidate. And then last year

328
00:14:22,880 --> 00:14:25,920
Speaker 1: he gets Delta Seattle. Things just didn't work out there

329
00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:28,760
Speaker 1: for him. That just happens. Sometimes it's a myriad of reasons.

330
00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:32,200
Speaker 1: They're human beings, they're not just numbers. I think getting

331
00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:33,880
Speaker 1: in back here mentally is a good thing. I think

332
00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:38,840
Speaker 1: this ballpark is Look you saw William Dombs right become awesome. Right,

333
00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:42,240
Speaker 1: You've seen rowdy Talez go to Milwaukee, hit the snot

334
00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:45,160
Speaker 1: out of the baseball. This is a good situation. Now

335
00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:47,200
Speaker 1: hitting lefties is that we've been a problem for Winker.

336
00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:49,640
Speaker 1: Why do you think he is a bust even at

337
00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:50,200
Speaker 1: sixty four?

338
00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:52,640
Speaker 2: Well, and I actually caught myself. I actually it's the

339
00:14:52,680 --> 00:14:54,080
Speaker 2: next guy. I hate the next guy.

340
00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:55,280
Speaker 1: Actually the next guy.

341
00:14:55,400 --> 00:14:57,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I don't like the next guy. Whatsoever. I

342
00:14:57,520 --> 00:15:00,960
Speaker 2: thought we were on that one. I think or a

343
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:03,000
Speaker 2: big point of what you just talked about. He's cheap,

344
00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:05,440
Speaker 2: He's dirt cheap. If he has any type of rebound,

345
00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:08,200
Speaker 2: here's what's unique about him as well, if he's back

346
00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:10,200
Speaker 2: to like when he was originally like coming up with

347
00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:12,120
Speaker 2: the Reds. This is a contact hitter. There is a

348
00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:14,080
Speaker 2: guy that would hit like three hundred plus and couldn't.

349
00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:16,680
Speaker 2: He was always miners struggled versus.

350
00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:19,960
Speaker 1: Lefties, had good batting average, good contact skills. Maybe he

351
00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:22,520
Speaker 1: just got a little homer happy when he left Cincinnati.

352
00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:24,640
Speaker 1: Maybe that was part of it, or maybe he felt like, oh,

353
00:15:24,680 --> 00:15:26,200
Speaker 1: you know, now there's more burden on me to try

354
00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:28,400
Speaker 1: to be this other guy. But if he just gets

355
00:15:28,440 --> 00:15:31,640
Speaker 1: back to basics, that ballpark is going to cure a

356
00:15:31,640 --> 00:15:32,560
Speaker 1: lot of the ills.

357
00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:34,280
Speaker 2: And also that lineup. That lineup is done, and that

358
00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:37,320
Speaker 2: lineup too if he were hitting, if somehow he got

359
00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:39,320
Speaker 2: put into a more primary position to be even better. Now,

360
00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:40,760
Speaker 2: I don't mind this one at all. I think, actually,

361
00:15:40,840 --> 00:15:43,480
Speaker 2: Jesse Winker, if you're playing in like five outfield leagues

362
00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:45,240
Speaker 2: and he kind of gets away from you, he's actually

363
00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:46,080
Speaker 2: kind of a slick option.

364
00:15:46,560 --> 00:15:48,520
Speaker 1: All right, Let's continue to move on here. Who's next

365
00:15:48,560 --> 00:15:50,000
Speaker 1: on your list of sleepers in the outfield?

366
00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:52,640
Speaker 2: So this one I'm a little bit worried about because

367
00:15:52,640 --> 00:15:55,120
Speaker 2: of recent talk, and it's Brian Da la Cruz. Brian

368
00:15:55,160 --> 00:15:57,520
Speaker 2: Day la Cruz with the Marlins has become one of

369
00:15:57,560 --> 00:16:00,520
Speaker 2: my favorite and I've called him taoscar Light. And you

370
00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:02,480
Speaker 2: want to know one of the reasons. It happens funny enough,

371
00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:04,880
Speaker 2: I was doing some work and I happened to just

372
00:16:04,920 --> 00:16:07,280
Speaker 2: have both of their Baseball Savant pages up, and I

373
00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:09,800
Speaker 2: was just baffled at how similar they were. They were

374
00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:12,800
Speaker 2: just so similar. This is like Walmart version of Tasker.

375
00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:17,120
Speaker 2: Hernandez a high max high hard to hit XBA was

376
00:16:17,320 --> 00:16:20,760
Speaker 2: ninety six percent tile this last years. That's expected batting average.

377
00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:23,320
Speaker 2: His ex woe but and x slugging were both inside

378
00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:26,440
Speaker 2: the top ten percent. Those are not easy things. Wobacon

379
00:16:26,560 --> 00:16:28,880
Speaker 2: top ten percent. This is a guy that has a

380
00:16:28,920 --> 00:16:31,200
Speaker 2: lot of room to grow. As far as he is

381
00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:33,960
Speaker 2: as a hitter. Last year he hit thirteen homers in

382
00:16:34,280 --> 00:16:36,480
Speaker 2: a little over three hundred at bats while hitting two

383
00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:40,520
Speaker 2: fifty two and all this expected growth on the underlining stats,

384
00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:42,920
Speaker 2: where does he struggle? He swings and misses and he

385
00:16:42,920 --> 00:16:45,840
Speaker 2: doesn't walk a lot. That makes him very volatile, and

386
00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:47,960
Speaker 2: that's kind of what you would talk about with Taskar Hernandez.

387
00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:50,840
Speaker 2: He's kind of volatile. He's just made it work. The

388
00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:54,920
Speaker 2: problem is is outam Marlins camp. The word is is

389
00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:57,920
Speaker 2: that Haesu Sanchez is still very much rolling with a gig.

390
00:16:58,120 --> 00:17:01,040
Speaker 2: So you got a situation where Avisogar Garcia and Jazz

391
00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:03,640
Speaker 2: Chisholm kind of look locked. You've got Jorges Hilaire at

392
00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:05,679
Speaker 2: DH who can also play in the outfield, and then

393
00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:08,639
Speaker 2: you're looking at some type of platoon split between day

394
00:17:08,680 --> 00:17:11,880
Speaker 2: La Cruz and Sanchez. I don't love that, but I'm

395
00:17:11,920 --> 00:17:13,520
Speaker 2: willing to take a shot and a risk at this

396
00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:17,320
Speaker 2: point because he's almost outfielder sixty, he's outfielder fifty seven.

397
00:17:17,680 --> 00:17:20,600
Speaker 2: If he gets the proper at bats. I think this

398
00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:22,680
Speaker 2: is twenty plus homers this year. I'm not really worried

399
00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:24,640
Speaker 2: about the stolen bases, but I think this is a

400
00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:27,879
Speaker 2: solid three category guy that you're getting post fifty outfield.

401
00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:31,120
Speaker 2: It might burn us if Hazus Sanchez gets more playing time,

402
00:17:31,320 --> 00:17:32,560
Speaker 2: but I don't know if I want to sit and

403
00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:34,720
Speaker 2: be like, Okay, well, I'm not going to go on

404
00:17:34,760 --> 00:17:37,600
Speaker 2: this talent because of Aviso Garcia and Jesus Sanchez. I

405
00:17:37,600 --> 00:17:38,879
Speaker 2: don't think even Jorge Shilaire.

406
00:17:38,880 --> 00:17:40,320
Speaker 1: I don't want to think about Sanchez to me as

407
00:17:40,359 --> 00:17:42,879
Speaker 1: a quad a player. That's from what I've seen, and I.

408
00:17:42,880 --> 00:17:44,520
Speaker 2: Think Da La Cruz could take that gig. So, like

409
00:17:44,520 --> 00:17:47,359
Speaker 2: I said, he is, he might be. Maybe Walmart's being

410
00:17:47,359 --> 00:17:48,959
Speaker 2: a little bit rude, but you know, it's just like

411
00:17:49,040 --> 00:17:51,520
Speaker 2: a taoscar light, and I think that's a part of

412
00:17:51,560 --> 00:17:51,879
Speaker 2: where he.

413
00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:55,199
Speaker 1: All right, here we go. We teased it. So this

414
00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:56,719
Speaker 1: is the guy the Welsh hates, but I think he's

415
00:17:56,760 --> 00:17:59,399
Speaker 1: a sleeper still number forty five on the outfield board,

416
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:04,480
Speaker 1: wit Merryfield Merrifield qualifies a second qualifies it outfield fart

417
00:18:04,560 --> 00:18:07,840
Speaker 1: noises aside. There's a lot of other baseball podcasts. You're

418
00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:09,600
Speaker 1: gonna get fart noises. I'm pretty sure. You know. It's

419
00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:14,080
Speaker 1: very very high end, big ex Swoba, you know, conversations

420
00:18:14,160 --> 00:18:14,720
Speaker 1: kind of stuff.

421
00:18:14,760 --> 00:18:16,639
Speaker 2: Also our budget, our sound effects budget.

422
00:18:16,840 --> 00:18:19,200
Speaker 1: I think we should start making up stats. I guarantee

423
00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:22,400
Speaker 1: you people wouldn't even blink an eye. They would just accept.

424
00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:23,800
Speaker 1: You know. I feel like baseball has got to a

425
00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:26,159
Speaker 1: point if we just called something X something what we

426
00:18:26,320 --> 00:18:27,159
Speaker 1: would just accept it.

427
00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:29,359
Speaker 2: You and I should like off air, we should come

428
00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:31,560
Speaker 2: up with three. And then what we do is, you

429
00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:33,959
Speaker 2: remember in super Troopers, like the Meow game, We'll just

430
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:37,280
Speaker 2: slowly start like having a conversation and we'll just be.

431
00:18:37,320 --> 00:18:38,840
Speaker 1: Like, I want to do it with a guest and

432
00:18:38,960 --> 00:18:39,560
Speaker 1: ask them.

433
00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:41,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, we'll do that. We'll be like, you know, he

434
00:18:41,080 --> 00:18:43,480
Speaker 2: also had an X plug of two forty two, which

435
00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:45,159
Speaker 2: was really interesting on that X plug. And we'll just

436
00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:46,800
Speaker 2: kind of do that as a MEW game. Let's do that.

437
00:18:47,200 --> 00:18:49,199
Speaker 1: Let's screw with Pollo next week. Let's do an X

438
00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:52,800
Speaker 1: plug and let's see if you can everyone quiet eye.

439
00:18:52,800 --> 00:18:56,199
Speaker 1: All right, So with Merryfield once again, he's a year

440
00:18:56,240 --> 00:18:58,320
Speaker 1: removed from a forty stolen base season. He's stolen forty

441
00:18:58,359 --> 00:19:00,600
Speaker 1: twice if you're in roadal leagues. I'm taking a fly

442
00:19:00,680 --> 00:19:03,199
Speaker 1: around this guy. I know Welsh has a lot of

443
00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:05,000
Speaker 1: reasons why you don't want to touch him, and I

444
00:19:05,080 --> 00:19:07,000
Speaker 1: understand last year things kind of bottomed out for him

445
00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:10,360
Speaker 1: and he got traded. It's a good lineup he's hitting in.

446
00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:12,400
Speaker 1: I think the you know, I think it was Buster

447
00:19:12,800 --> 00:19:15,480
Speaker 1: Only was talking about how stone bases in the minor

448
00:19:15,560 --> 00:19:17,919
Speaker 1: leagues with the bigger bases was up forty percent last year.

449
00:19:17,920 --> 00:19:19,399
Speaker 1: I don't expect it to be up forty percent in

450
00:19:19,480 --> 00:19:21,760
Speaker 1: major leagues, but I do expect an uptick, and I

451
00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:23,400
Speaker 1: expect it to be a little easier. The bigger base

452
00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:25,000
Speaker 1: does make it a little easier for guys to steal

453
00:19:25,040 --> 00:19:27,520
Speaker 1: basis period. It just does. It's an easier thing to

454
00:19:27,560 --> 00:19:29,280
Speaker 1: get around a tag. It's a lot of that stuff.

455
00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:32,840
Speaker 1: This is sherely a play for the dual eligibility. I'm

456
00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:36,080
Speaker 1: not looking for him to hit fifteen to twenty home runs.

457
00:19:36,119 --> 00:19:38,480
Speaker 1: I think he can still hit ten. Give me double

458
00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:40,800
Speaker 1: digits there. Can he get the batting average back up

459
00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:42,440
Speaker 1: to the two soventy five range. I think he can,

460
00:19:42,920 --> 00:19:44,600
Speaker 1: And if he can give me anything close to thirty

461
00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:46,679
Speaker 1: stone bases. This is a huge win. I'm sorry at

462
00:19:46,680 --> 00:19:49,040
Speaker 1: this point, So go ahead, Welsh, tear it apart now

463
00:19:49,240 --> 00:19:50,639
Speaker 1: now he finally waited, let's go.

464
00:19:51,040 --> 00:19:52,840
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna like tear taror it apart. It's just

465
00:19:53,119 --> 00:19:56,160
Speaker 2: I was talking with you know the other day, you know, Soris,

466
00:19:56,240 --> 00:19:59,520
Speaker 2: and you know there's also like the athleticism curve that

467
00:19:59,560 --> 00:20:02,840
Speaker 2: starts to decline at thirty and I feel like we've

468
00:20:02,840 --> 00:20:05,119
Speaker 2: started to see that with him. I will acknowledge that,

469
00:20:05,160 --> 00:20:07,520
Speaker 2: like the uptick in the potential of stolen bases makes

470
00:20:07,520 --> 00:20:09,479
Speaker 2: it really interesting, but it's on like a team that

471
00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:12,600
Speaker 2: doesn't run their bottom ten percent out of ten or

472
00:20:12,600 --> 00:20:14,240
Speaker 2: I guess bottom third of the league. As far as

473
00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:16,159
Speaker 2: stolen bases, there were like twenty third, twenty second or

474
00:20:16,160 --> 00:20:18,560
Speaker 2: whatever or twentieth and they were on the bottom end

475
00:20:18,600 --> 00:20:20,199
Speaker 2: of it. He's not going to hit high in the lineup.

476
00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:22,120
Speaker 2: He's going to hit lower in the lineup. I would

477
00:20:22,119 --> 00:20:24,480
Speaker 2: suspect if he's playing even every day, he's probably said,

478
00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:26,320
Speaker 2: I'm not looking at roster resource, but I'm going to

479
00:20:26,359 --> 00:20:28,399
Speaker 2: guess like eight or seven or something like that. So

480
00:20:28,440 --> 00:20:31,360
Speaker 2: it's like, I think RBI opportunities are low run opportunities

481
00:20:31,359 --> 00:20:34,760
Speaker 2: aren't the best. He is not a homer option. He

482
00:20:34,840 --> 00:20:37,520
Speaker 2: doesn't even have a high batting average anymore, and the

483
00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:39,959
Speaker 2: declining stolen bases were kind of in our face as

484
00:20:39,960 --> 00:20:44,240
Speaker 2: he's getting older. He's not expensive, so like, I shouldn't

485
00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:46,000
Speaker 2: be that Haiti. That's one of those guys that you

486
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:48,560
Speaker 2: could take a shot at. But there is something about

487
00:20:48,560 --> 00:20:50,440
Speaker 2: me now I'm actually looking at it. You'll even see

488
00:20:50,440 --> 00:20:54,200
Speaker 2: on my bus category like I just don't like chasing

489
00:20:54,600 --> 00:20:59,280
Speaker 2: high stolen base outfielders. But I also don't know what

490
00:20:59,440 --> 00:21:02,040
Speaker 2: this new base thing is going to do, if all

491
00:21:02,040 --> 00:21:04,000
Speaker 2: of the stolen bases are going to go up in general,

492
00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:06,479
Speaker 2: or just the elite guys that could take advantage of it,

493
00:21:06,720 --> 00:21:08,040
Speaker 2: like a guy like wit Merrifield.

494
00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:10,920
Speaker 1: I think what you do is you he's that guy

495
00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:13,560
Speaker 1: that you take a flyer on at the forty fifth

496
00:21:13,560 --> 00:21:16,359
Speaker 1: out fielder. Overall, if you're behind a stolen basis and

497
00:21:16,359 --> 00:21:18,400
Speaker 1: you hope for the best period, that's it. Let's take

498

527
00:22:53,760 --> 00:22:55,440
Speaker 1: All right, let's get to the bus. So I'm gonna

528
00:22:55,440 --> 00:22:57,080
Speaker 1: start with one of mine that I know is going

529
00:22:57,119 --> 00:22:59,400
Speaker 1: to piss off the well. So it's like turn about

530
00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:02,840
Speaker 1: his fair play, whatever the hell that means, say a Suzuki. Now, look,

531
00:23:03,280 --> 00:23:05,880
Speaker 1: Welsh has talked a lot about Suzuki. I think he's

532
00:23:05,880 --> 00:23:08,159
Speaker 1: getting a lot of hype. And here's the thing. You know,

533
00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:10,360
Speaker 1: Welsh has been so favorable for him. I went back

534
00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:12,800
Speaker 1: and I watched his true Story today before the show,

535
00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:16,119
Speaker 1: I watched the extra film on him and from Japan,

536
00:23:16,480 --> 00:23:18,840
Speaker 1: and then I watched the same say a Suzuki in

537
00:23:18,840 --> 00:23:21,200
Speaker 1: the Major League last year, and I noticed something that's

538
00:23:21,359 --> 00:23:26,080
Speaker 1: just hard to miss. He crushes the ball up. You

539
00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:28,240
Speaker 1: leave the ball up, he is going to put it

540
00:23:28,280 --> 00:23:31,680
Speaker 1: in the seats. He is that kind of hitter. Almost

541
00:23:31,720 --> 00:23:33,840
Speaker 1: every single ball that I watched on the highlights of

542
00:23:33,920 --> 00:23:35,760
Speaker 1: him in Japan, here they are all these ball these

543
00:23:35,800 --> 00:23:37,720
Speaker 1: balls he's hitting out of the ballpark, all up high

544
00:23:38,280 --> 00:23:39,959
Speaker 1: in the major League, same thing. He saw it very

545
00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:42,640
Speaker 1: early on. As you start to look at more footage

546
00:23:42,640 --> 00:23:44,320
Speaker 1: of him towards the end of the year, that's not

547
00:23:44,320 --> 00:23:45,879
Speaker 1: how people are. They're not leaving that ball up for

548
00:23:45,960 --> 00:23:47,879
Speaker 1: him anymore. You're seeing them pitch him down and in

549
00:23:48,440 --> 00:23:51,000
Speaker 1: down the way. If you continue to do that, Szuki

550
00:23:51,119 --> 00:23:53,840
Speaker 1: is going to have a tough time. So my fear

551
00:23:53,920 --> 00:23:55,600
Speaker 1: is people were going to buy into some of these

552
00:23:55,960 --> 00:23:59,359
Speaker 1: patchwork signings of the Cubs and think, Okay, you're two

553
00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:02,200
Speaker 1: of Suzuki. This is gonna be the deck Headecki Matt

554
00:24:02,200 --> 00:24:04,280
Speaker 1: Suey type guy. I don't think he's that kind of talent.

555
00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:06,720
Speaker 1: I think he's a mistake kitter, and I think that

556
00:24:06,760 --> 00:24:08,520
Speaker 1: if you leave the ball up, he's going to crush it.

557
00:24:09,560 --> 00:24:11,160
Speaker 1: I just think he's getting a little bit too much hype.

558
00:24:11,200 --> 00:24:13,720
Speaker 1: So for me, it's a player that at twenty six

559
00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:17,360
Speaker 1: outfielder overall, this is a little tough for me. Uh

560
00:24:17,440 --> 00:24:20,360
Speaker 1: Gian Carlos Stanton is going after him. I'll still take

561
00:24:20,359 --> 00:24:24,200
Speaker 1: my chances with Santon, with Santander, with Yelich, all those guys,

562
00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:27,280
Speaker 1: even Nick Casaganos, I would take my chance with over Suzuki.

563
00:24:27,320 --> 00:24:27,920
Speaker 1: Go ahead, Welsh.

564
00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:30,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I'm gonna break something out because I

565
00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:32,280
Speaker 2: know we're gonna burn through and when we get there.

566
00:24:32,320 --> 00:24:35,440
Speaker 2: But like, this is one of my mustos is se Suzuki.

567
00:24:35,440 --> 00:24:37,320
Speaker 2: He's just one of my musk guys that I want.

568
00:24:37,800 --> 00:24:40,399
Speaker 2: Also looks visibly bigger. There is some video out of

569
00:24:40,480 --> 00:24:43,000
Speaker 2: camp him and Cody Bellinger are working out. He physically

570
00:24:43,040 --> 00:24:46,720
Speaker 2: looks bigger. He had one of the best chess chase rates.

571
00:24:46,920 --> 00:24:51,440
Speaker 2: Chess rates chase rates in baseball phenomenal. It's phenomenal. It's phenomenal,

572
00:24:51,480 --> 00:24:54,040
Speaker 2: big muscles. If you remember early on, this is one

573
00:24:54,080 --> 00:24:56,600
Speaker 2: of those guys that was just never swinging outside the zone.

574
00:24:56,640 --> 00:24:59,760
Speaker 2: So the patience is there. It's maybe a little bit

575
00:24:59,760 --> 00:25:02,080
Speaker 2: about average. Is like overall, hard hit stuff like hard

576
00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:05,720
Speaker 2: hit EXI velocity makes pretty good contact hit two sixty

577
00:25:05,760 --> 00:25:08,520
Speaker 2: two last year expected was a tiny bit lower. I

578
00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:11,120
Speaker 2: like the ev stuff. I like the hard hit numbers. Overall,

579
00:25:11,280 --> 00:25:13,720
Speaker 2: I think he's going to continue. It's a big, big

580
00:25:13,840 --> 00:25:16,280
Speaker 2: change going over from Japan to here because you saw it,

581
00:25:16,320 --> 00:25:18,960
Speaker 2: because this guy had thirty seven homers in Japan and

582
00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:21,800
Speaker 2: had fourteen this past year. But I think, take with

583
00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:25,359
Speaker 2: the patients, take with some of the natural raw ability

584
00:25:25,400 --> 00:25:27,760
Speaker 2: that he's got. In general, it's not a great offense.

585
00:25:27,960 --> 00:25:31,000
Speaker 2: But like at outfielder thirty, this is just one of

586
00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:33,000
Speaker 2: those guys that I have to have on my roster,

587
00:25:33,520 --> 00:25:36,760
Speaker 2: and I just don't know. The only argument I guess

588
00:25:36,840 --> 00:25:38,919
Speaker 2: is like maybe he's a little expensive, Like you're not

589
00:25:38,920 --> 00:25:39,760
Speaker 2: getting any distall.

590
00:25:39,760 --> 00:25:43,119
Speaker 1: He's twenty as outfielder twenty six right now and climbing

591
00:25:43,680 --> 00:25:45,679
Speaker 1: the guy who was ahead of him twenty five. He's

592
00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:47,480
Speaker 1: a twenty six on Fantasy Pros right now in the

593
00:25:47,600 --> 00:25:49,920
Speaker 1: average ADP, and the guy ahead of him is the

594
00:25:49,920 --> 00:25:51,600
Speaker 1: guy on your list next. So why don't you talk

595
00:25:51,600 --> 00:25:52,200
Speaker 1: about him?

596
00:25:52,640 --> 00:25:55,240
Speaker 2: Okay, so oh on the bus. Yeah, So my bust

597
00:25:55,280 --> 00:25:57,400
Speaker 2: is Stephen Quant and I think I talked about him

598
00:25:57,440 --> 00:26:00,560
Speaker 2: a little bit ago because I think Steven is coming

599
00:26:00,560 --> 00:26:04,960
Speaker 2: at a very very pricey, pricey outfield spot twenty four.

600
00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:06,479
Speaker 2: I don't know if this has changed. I mean, you're

601
00:26:06,480 --> 00:26:08,320
Speaker 2: telling me I had Suzuki at thirty and I did

602
00:26:08,320 --> 00:26:10,480
Speaker 2: this last night looking at the ADP. So if he's

603
00:26:10,520 --> 00:26:12,800
Speaker 2: moved up a couple spots, maybe they've added some more data.

604
00:26:13,240 --> 00:26:17,119
Speaker 2: That's concerning Stephen Kuwan's coming in at twenty four. Now

605
00:26:17,280 --> 00:26:21,280
Speaker 2: we know who Quan is. That speaks for itself. But

606
00:26:21,440 --> 00:26:23,160
Speaker 2: what I just don't believe is that those stolen base

607
00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:25,040
Speaker 2: numbers are going to continue. I don't believe there's going

608
00:26:25,119 --> 00:26:27,160
Speaker 2: to be any growth as far as power goes. I mean,

609
00:26:27,160 --> 00:26:30,000
Speaker 2: this is one of the absolutely lowest of one percent

610
00:26:30,240 --> 00:26:32,639
Speaker 2: He's literally in the one percentile of hard hit on

611
00:26:32,680 --> 00:26:35,520
Speaker 2: the opposite direction. He doesn't barrel the ball. He doesn't

612
00:26:35,560 --> 00:26:38,400
Speaker 2: really show any great slugging ability. So what are you doing.

613
00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:42,800
Speaker 2: You're you're drafting him for theoretical high run totals, batting average,

614
00:26:43,040 --> 00:26:45,320
Speaker 2: and then good stolen bases. That's three categories that you

615
00:26:45,359 --> 00:26:49,360
Speaker 2: can do this. He's a zero, a donut on Homer's

616
00:26:49,560 --> 00:26:52,560
Speaker 2: I believe, and the RBIs are nothing. If the stolen

617
00:26:52,560 --> 00:26:55,800
Speaker 2: based numbers come down, which this wasn't something that he

618
00:26:55,920 --> 00:26:58,640
Speaker 2: was like typically, this wasn't his game, then he's going

619
00:26:58,640 --> 00:27:01,080
Speaker 2: to become at best like like a I don't know,

620
00:27:01,119 --> 00:27:02,840
Speaker 2: like a two. I mean, like he's like Louis Rise

621
00:27:03,040 --> 00:27:05,160
Speaker 2: like he would be if he's still ten bases. He's

622
00:27:05,160 --> 00:27:07,639
Speaker 2: still different than Louisa Rise at that point, and I

623
00:27:07,640 --> 00:27:11,159
Speaker 2: think we're drafting him way, way too high. I fully

624
00:27:11,200 --> 00:27:14,800
Speaker 2: acknowledge his ability to hit. He's a great Points league guy.

625
00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:17,520
Speaker 2: For talking about rot and if we're talking like rot

626
00:27:17,520 --> 00:27:19,679
Speaker 2: to and head to head categories, I'm just not interested

627
00:27:19,720 --> 00:27:21,919
Speaker 2: because I literally think what you're doing is you're drafting

628
00:27:21,960 --> 00:27:24,320
Speaker 2: him at the spot because of those stolen bases, and

629
00:27:24,400 --> 00:27:25,560
Speaker 2: I don't know if that repeats.

630
00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:27,840
Speaker 1: I agree with you. Everything he said there is correct,

631
00:27:27,840 --> 00:27:29,760
Speaker 1: and I like Kwan because I played more points leagues,

632
00:27:29,800 --> 00:27:31,639
Speaker 1: but I understand exactly what your point of.

633
00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:33,560
Speaker 2: A bust in points leagues.

634
00:27:33,840 --> 00:27:36,479
Speaker 1: No, No, I think he's just gotta peck ding ding

635
00:27:36,520 --> 00:27:38,240
Speaker 1: ding ding ding over and over pecke to deaf kind

636
00:27:38,240 --> 00:27:39,920
Speaker 1: of guy. I like those kind of guys because usually

637
00:27:39,920 --> 00:27:42,840
Speaker 1: they come cheaper, all right, Mitch Hannager is next on

638
00:27:42,880 --> 00:27:44,560
Speaker 1: my bus list. And there's another guy that I've touched

639
00:27:44,600 --> 00:27:48,000
Speaker 1: on before and not gonna belabor this point, but Mitch Haniger,

640
00:27:48,600 --> 00:27:52,680
Speaker 1: I just I hate the ballpark situation. I just I do.

641
00:27:53,040 --> 00:27:56,639
Speaker 1: I think zan Brand is the worst possible scenario. We

642
00:27:56,720 --> 00:27:59,840
Speaker 1: talked about waiting another ten picks of outfielders and the

643
00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:03,280
Speaker 1: with Michael Confordo instead even just to ride around there,

644
00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:05,680
Speaker 1: he's going ahead of Ian Happen, ahead of Brandon Nimo

645
00:28:05,760 --> 00:28:09,720
Speaker 1: in the early ADP, ahead of Verdugo too, right around

646
00:28:09,720 --> 00:28:12,119
Speaker 1: Andrew Vaughan, Like, those are all players that I really like.

647
00:28:12,520 --> 00:28:15,200
Speaker 1: And Hanneger with the injury history he's had of missing time,

648
00:28:15,240 --> 00:28:17,400
Speaker 1: and I know some of those injuries have been Bizarro

649
00:28:17,640 --> 00:28:21,240
Speaker 1: kind of injuries. That was Jacoby Ellsbury's career too, like

650
00:28:21,280 --> 00:28:23,480
Speaker 1: a lot of Bizarro injuries. But you know what, it

651
00:28:23,520 --> 00:28:25,600
Speaker 1: doesn't matter the other day you miss time. I just

652
00:28:25,640 --> 00:28:28,600
Speaker 1: don't like the landing spot. He's a player that historically

653
00:28:28,640 --> 00:28:30,720
Speaker 1: misses a lot of time. I know what the upside is.

654
00:28:30,960 --> 00:28:32,520
Speaker 1: I even drafted him think the other day because I

655
00:28:32,560 --> 00:28:34,199
Speaker 1: was desperate for an outfit or the mox and I

656
00:28:34,240 --> 00:28:37,000
Speaker 1: was just mad about it. And sometimes these things happen.

657
00:28:37,240 --> 00:28:38,920
Speaker 1: So I hope I'm wrong if I end up with

658
00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:41,600
Speaker 1: shares of him. I like the player, don't like the scenario.

659
00:28:41,760 --> 00:28:43,400
Speaker 2: Let me ask you something, who would you for the

660
00:28:43,200 --> 00:28:45,360
Speaker 2: rat take? What would you rather take? You're a pick,

661
00:28:46,200 --> 00:28:48,320
Speaker 2: there's thirty nine outfielder's gone, so you're like I need

662
00:28:48,360 --> 00:28:51,200
Speaker 2: an outfielder, and it's fortieth. Would you rather reach on

663
00:28:51,320 --> 00:28:53,360
Speaker 2: Lars Newbar or take Mitt Channager.

664
00:28:54,120 --> 00:28:57,080
Speaker 1: I'll still take Mitchanager. I'll always take the proven entity guy,

665
00:28:57,200 --> 00:28:59,440
Speaker 1: especially the guy who's got Hey man, you had thirty

666
00:28:59,520 --> 00:29:01,480
Speaker 1: nine bomb in the big leagues. You got my attention.

667
00:29:01,760 --> 00:29:04,320
Speaker 1: Lars Newpar had he had a minor league track record

668
00:29:04,360 --> 00:29:08,000
Speaker 1: of crushing the baseball, i'd feel differently. But that's slugging

669
00:29:08,080 --> 00:29:10,720
Speaker 1: is not very impressive, So I'm still skeptical of the power.

670
00:29:10,920 --> 00:29:13,040
Speaker 1: All right, give me the next guy on your list. Well,

671
00:29:13,040 --> 00:29:15,040
Speaker 1: should you have on the bus for outfield.

672
00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:17,520
Speaker 2: On this one? This is another one of those. It's

673
00:29:17,560 --> 00:29:19,560
Speaker 2: a little dicey because his cost isn't crazy, but I'm

674
00:29:19,560 --> 00:29:23,040
Speaker 2: gonna go with Masataka Yoshida. You know, I like Szuki,

675
00:29:23,040 --> 00:29:25,479
Speaker 2: I don't like Yoshida in this instance. I've actually kind

676
00:29:25,480 --> 00:29:27,680
Speaker 2: of compared some of those two when trying to figure out,

677
00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:30,719
Speaker 2: and I talked with somebody who told me definitely kind

678
00:29:30,720 --> 00:29:32,320
Speaker 2: of straight away from that. But you know, I was

679
00:29:32,360 --> 00:29:34,600
Speaker 2: looking at like numbers translating on what t Suzuki did

680
00:29:34,600 --> 00:29:37,560
Speaker 2: in Japan and then seeing the projections on Yoshida. It

681
00:29:37,560 --> 00:29:39,240
Speaker 2: just didn't make sense, and it's probably not a one

682
00:29:39,240 --> 00:29:41,520
Speaker 2: for one. Here's where he excels again. This is another

683
00:29:41,560 --> 00:29:44,440
Speaker 2: one of those guys that I'm thinking of this when

684
00:29:44,480 --> 00:29:46,600
Speaker 2: I talk about bus in a form of like head

685
00:29:46,600 --> 00:29:50,240
Speaker 2: to head categories in Rodo categories, not points. I would

686
00:29:50,240 --> 00:29:54,160
Speaker 2: like him more in points in this. His draft stock

687
00:29:54,360 --> 00:29:58,600
Speaker 2: is so driven by really lofty projection. Steamer essentially came

688
00:29:58,640 --> 00:30:01,040
Speaker 2: out and had him be the number one hitter, like

689
00:30:01,080 --> 00:30:04,000
Speaker 2: the highest batting average of any projection system out there.

690
00:30:04,160 --> 00:30:06,640
Speaker 2: And he's got like almost twice as.

691
00:30:06,560 --> 00:30:08,040
Speaker 1: Much as he strikes out, which is something you just

692
00:30:08,040 --> 00:30:09,880
Speaker 1: don't see in modern day baseball. And you don't see

693
00:30:09,920 --> 00:30:10,280
Speaker 1: that at.

694
00:30:10,160 --> 00:30:13,080
Speaker 2: All, No, you don't. And he's a super super patient guy,

695
00:30:13,200 --> 00:30:15,760
Speaker 2: makes a lot of contact, had never lead let off.

696
00:30:15,920 --> 00:30:17,680
Speaker 2: He talked about that when he got signed, that he

697
00:30:17,680 --> 00:30:19,720
Speaker 2: wasn't even sure if he was comfortable with it. He's

698
00:30:19,760 --> 00:30:22,160
Speaker 2: never been more than a twenty plus homer guy, and

699
00:30:22,360 --> 00:30:24,840
Speaker 2: most projections outside of the bat X have him at nineteen,

700
00:30:24,880 --> 00:30:26,880
Speaker 2: so they have no regression as far as what Japan

701
00:30:26,920 --> 00:30:29,560
Speaker 2: comes to the majors. Listen, I think he will be fun.

702
00:30:29,920 --> 00:30:31,880
Speaker 2: If he's leading off in Boston, that's great. It's going

703
00:30:31,920 --> 00:30:34,560
Speaker 2: to get some hits, but like everyone's banking that this

704
00:30:34,600 --> 00:30:37,520
Speaker 2: is going to be a three hundred hitter with twenty homers,

705
00:30:37,600 --> 00:30:39,680
Speaker 2: and I just don't think we're going to see that again.

706
00:30:39,680 --> 00:30:41,320
Speaker 2: Coming back to it, and maybe in a quant type

707
00:30:41,360 --> 00:30:43,560
Speaker 2: of way, I think this might be more like Luisa Rise.

708
00:30:43,600 --> 00:30:45,720
Speaker 2: I don't think he's going to steal, and I think

709
00:30:45,720 --> 00:30:47,640
Speaker 2: he might be ten to twelve homers with a really

710
00:30:47,640 --> 00:30:50,440
Speaker 2: good He's Alex Verdugo. He's like Alex Radugo all over again,

711
00:30:50,880 --> 00:30:53,880
Speaker 2: and he's technically going after for Dugo. But I think

712
00:30:53,920 --> 00:30:56,160
Speaker 2: he's going to keep rising and rising. And at the

713
00:30:56,240 --> 00:30:58,440
Speaker 2: end of the day, maybe I'm a little skewed by

714
00:30:58,440 --> 00:31:00,920
Speaker 2: the projections and it's why I'm here, But I'm gonna

715
00:31:00,920 --> 00:31:04,560
Speaker 2: go with Masataka Yoshida at forty three in rising.

716
00:31:05,200 --> 00:31:07,640
Speaker 1: The next guy on my list is another Cub taking

717
00:31:07,680 --> 00:31:09,040
Speaker 1: a lot of shots at the Cubs this year. It's

718
00:31:09,120 --> 00:31:12,760
Speaker 1: Cody Bellinger outfield forty eight. And I understand it's not

719
00:31:12,840 --> 00:31:15,960
Speaker 1: a huge investment here. I just I can't get there.

720
00:31:16,080 --> 00:31:17,920
Speaker 1: I keep coming back to the point where there's some

721
00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:20,480
Speaker 1: guys in this fun of Yoshida because I think at

722
00:31:20,480 --> 00:31:22,480
Speaker 1: points leagues he'll be good. I'll have my eye on

723
00:31:22,560 --> 00:31:24,440
Speaker 1: him with Maryfield and some myrtle leagues. I'll have my

724
00:31:24,480 --> 00:31:27,200
Speaker 1: eye on him. This is that same general range where

725
00:31:27,240 --> 00:31:30,080
Speaker 1: Cody Bellinger's going. In fact, he's moved up from forty

726
00:31:30,120 --> 00:31:33,640
Speaker 1: eight to forty one over the last twenty four hours.

727
00:31:33,640 --> 00:31:36,320
Speaker 1: Well on this ADP. So what was it?

728
00:31:36,480 --> 00:31:37,680
Speaker 2: Forty eight to forty one?

729
00:31:37,840 --> 00:31:40,960
Speaker 1: From forty eight for outfielder forty eight to outfielder number

730
00:31:40,960 --> 00:31:41,680
Speaker 1: fourt one.

731
00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:43,200
Speaker 2: I gotta be honest with you that I was going

732
00:31:43,280 --> 00:31:44,840
Speaker 2: to tell you I'm not the biggest, like I'm not

733
00:31:44,880 --> 00:31:46,880
Speaker 2: buying doing the Cody Bellinger stuff this year. But I

734
00:31:46,920 --> 00:31:48,960
Speaker 2: was gonna be like, at forty eight, is this really

735
00:31:49,040 --> 00:31:49,719
Speaker 2: like a bust?

736
00:31:49,840 --> 00:31:52,280
Speaker 1: But if not, but this is the problem. Look, yeah, look,

737
00:31:52,280 --> 00:31:54,560
Speaker 1: the twenty twenty one season hit a buck sixty six.

738
00:31:54,720 --> 00:31:58,080
Speaker 1: Last year he hit two ten. I'm sorry, we're all

739
00:31:58,200 --> 00:32:02,240
Speaker 1: chasing twenty nineteen here this guy, and for whatever reason,

740
00:32:02,320 --> 00:32:05,440
Speaker 1: it's just bottomed out. Change of scenery is a good idea.

741
00:32:05,800 --> 00:32:07,600
Speaker 1: You can hope all you want that he comes back.

742
00:32:07,680 --> 00:32:09,480
Speaker 1: I just don't think it's enough of a discount. Again,

743
00:32:09,480 --> 00:32:12,000
Speaker 1: I'm talking about guys like Brandon Nemo, guys like Ian

744
00:32:12,040 --> 00:32:14,000
Speaker 1: Happ guys that I feel pretty solid. I know what

745
00:32:14,040 --> 00:32:16,240
Speaker 1: I'm getting. I love Andrew Vaughn this year. I want

746
00:32:16,240 --> 00:32:19,360
Speaker 1: to take that leap of faith with him. So Cody

747
00:32:19,360 --> 00:32:22,360
Speaker 1: Bellinger is a player I just can't draft at this spot.

748
00:32:23,160 --> 00:32:25,560
Speaker 1: Just too much of a drown on your on your

749
00:32:25,640 --> 00:32:28,240
Speaker 1: batting average. It's one thing if he's going to hit

750
00:32:28,320 --> 00:32:30,440
Speaker 1: forty home runs and you know that's a lock, but

751
00:32:30,520 --> 00:32:32,520
Speaker 1: you don't know that anymore. It's just it's you can't

752
00:32:32,520 --> 00:32:35,160
Speaker 1: do that. And again now you're dropping him in in

753
00:32:35,200 --> 00:32:37,760
Speaker 1: a new team, new situation here. I know people are

754
00:32:37,840 --> 00:32:39,920
Speaker 1: very optimistic and sometimes that puts a new shine on

755
00:32:39,960 --> 00:32:42,240
Speaker 1: a guy like Bellinger. I just can't get there, not

756
00:32:42,440 --> 00:32:44,840
Speaker 1: at this ADP as it continues to rise.

757
00:32:44,880 --> 00:32:48,080
Speaker 2: Well yeah, now, I mean I want to. I've always

758
00:32:48,120 --> 00:32:50,280
Speaker 2: been a big Cody Bellinger fan. I bought back in

759
00:32:50,360 --> 00:32:52,800
Speaker 2: last year, but it's just it's continuously not working. I

760
00:32:52,840 --> 00:32:55,400
Speaker 2: think the hitting environment might be friendly and stuff, but

761
00:32:55,760 --> 00:32:57,200
Speaker 2: I don't know. I'm going to try to get the

762
00:32:57,240 --> 00:32:59,240
Speaker 2: Cubs camp once or twice see if there's anything that

763
00:32:59,280 --> 00:33:01,520
Speaker 2: looks fun. You guys all be able to watch spring

764
00:33:01,600 --> 00:33:04,239
Speaker 2: training and stuff like that. But I haven't drafted. I've

765
00:33:04,280 --> 00:33:05,840
Speaker 2: done I mean, how many Monck drafts have I already

766
00:33:05,840 --> 00:33:08,320
Speaker 2: done this? I haven't drafted him once, not one if

767
00:33:08,320 --> 00:33:09,719
Speaker 2: I'm in any format I played in.

768
00:33:09,840 --> 00:33:12,800
Speaker 1: So all right, let's get to your final bust. Here

769
00:33:12,840 --> 00:33:14,600
Speaker 1: on the outfield list for twenty twenty three, who.

770
00:33:14,440 --> 00:33:16,800
Speaker 2: Is it to prove I am not a homer? Because

771
00:33:16,800 --> 00:33:18,440
Speaker 2: I know I can be put into that Listen, the

772
00:33:18,480 --> 00:33:20,320
Speaker 2: time bags are kind of exciting, there's some fun stuff,

773
00:33:20,360 --> 00:33:22,840
Speaker 2: and I think they come at some cheap costs. But

774
00:33:23,360 --> 00:33:26,040
Speaker 2: to not play a homer, I'm gonna throw out Jake

775
00:33:26,120 --> 00:33:29,239
Speaker 2: McCarthy to you guys, Jake McCarthy, who obviously put up

776
00:33:29,280 --> 00:33:32,400
Speaker 2: like some great twenty three stolen bases. In some projections,

777
00:33:32,440 --> 00:33:35,320
Speaker 2: I believe it's that x maybe that is projected to

778
00:33:35,400 --> 00:33:38,120
Speaker 2: lead the league in stolen bases. Eight homers, twenty three

779
00:33:38,120 --> 00:33:41,320
Speaker 2: stolen bases. Here's my deal. There's big pole heavy, he

780
00:33:41,360 --> 00:33:43,520
Speaker 2: as blue as can be. On his Baseball Savant page,

781
00:33:43,600 --> 00:33:48,520
Speaker 2: lower twenty percentile in hard hit ex wOBA x slug

782
00:33:48,680 --> 00:33:52,000
Speaker 2: barreling with percentages down there, he could strike out. He

783
00:33:52,040 --> 00:33:54,920
Speaker 2: doesn't really really make great contact. He had an XPA

784
00:33:55,040 --> 00:33:57,760
Speaker 2: of two forty nine. Here's your context. He hit two

785
00:33:57,840 --> 00:34:00,720
Speaker 2: eighty three. It's almost a forty point difference between his

786
00:34:00,760 --> 00:34:05,080
Speaker 2: batting average, and he is, like Kwan kind of built.

787
00:34:05,200 --> 00:34:07,360
Speaker 2: I think he has more power than Kwan, and obviously

788
00:34:07,440 --> 00:34:09,880
Speaker 2: Kwan has better bat skills, but he's built off of

789
00:34:09,880 --> 00:34:12,840
Speaker 2: the elite stolen bases. I might be really wrong about

790
00:34:12,840 --> 00:34:15,080
Speaker 2: this this year, and if I am, that's fine. But

791
00:34:15,200 --> 00:34:16,799
Speaker 2: I think Corman Carroll is going to lead this team

792
00:34:16,800 --> 00:34:19,400
Speaker 2: in stolen bases, not Jake McCarthy, and nobody believes that

793
00:34:19,440 --> 00:34:21,880
Speaker 2: it's Jack McCarthy through the board is going to lead

794
00:34:21,880 --> 00:34:25,360
Speaker 2: the league in stolen bases, huge high sprint percentiles. But

795
00:34:25,400 --> 00:34:27,799
Speaker 2: I think Corman Carroll might be hitting higher in the order,

796
00:34:28,200 --> 00:34:30,560
Speaker 2: running a bit more. And if we see some great

797
00:34:30,560 --> 00:34:33,200
Speaker 2: hard hit changes from McCarthy, that's great, but he's coming

798
00:34:33,200 --> 00:34:36,239
Speaker 2: into top thirty overall outfield. Listen. I do take him

799
00:34:36,239 --> 00:34:39,640
Speaker 2: from time to time, and I would favor him. I

800
00:34:39,719 --> 00:34:42,680
Speaker 2: favor him in form of categories and points leaks over Kwan.

801
00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:45,320
Speaker 2: But I still think how we're drafting this is another

802
00:34:45,360 --> 00:34:48,480
Speaker 2: stolen base chase and I'm just not super interested in it.

803
00:34:48,520 --> 00:34:50,160
Speaker 2: So I'll put Jake McCarthy as a bust.

804
00:34:50,640 --> 00:34:52,840
Speaker 1: All right. Here are the must haves for me in

805
00:34:52,880 --> 00:34:55,080
Speaker 1: twenty twenty three in the outfield. Number one on my

806
00:34:55,160 --> 00:34:58,000
Speaker 1: list and number one in my heart, Julio Rodriguez. If

807
00:34:58,040 --> 00:34:59,759
Speaker 1: you give me any pick in the first round and

808
00:34:59,760 --> 00:35:01,839
Speaker 1: he's air, I'm taking him. So it's the one pick

809
00:35:01,880 --> 00:35:05,640
Speaker 1: I'm probably gonna take him. Yes, But I'm making the

810
00:35:05,680 --> 00:35:07,560
Speaker 1: same point that I made in The Football Show about

811
00:35:07,600 --> 00:35:09,200
Speaker 1: Justin Jefferson, which is people like, well, I don't know

812
00:35:09,200 --> 00:35:12,560
Speaker 1: if he's really the one one overall. Guess what he was? Okay,

813
00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:15,239
Speaker 1: So same thing here. You can make a case for

814
00:35:15,280 --> 00:35:17,040
Speaker 1: a lot of guys for the one spot this year.

815
00:35:17,040 --> 00:35:19,279
Speaker 1: You can make a case for Otani, you can make

816
00:35:19,280 --> 00:35:22,840
Speaker 1: a case for Trey Turner, Akunye Aaron Judge, Right, Julio

817
00:35:22,920 --> 00:35:26,759
Speaker 1: is my number one player in salary cap drafts. I'm

818
00:35:26,760 --> 00:35:29,480
Speaker 1: going to be a most aggressive on him. So I

819
00:35:29,480 --> 00:35:31,879
Speaker 1: think this is a way of targeting guests. Everybody wants him.

820
00:35:31,880 --> 00:35:34,400
Speaker 1: But again, in that first round, you have options, in

821
00:35:34,440 --> 00:35:37,360
Speaker 1: the top five, you have options. He is my option.

822
00:35:37,480 --> 00:35:40,120
Speaker 1: He is the must have guy. Ironically, another one of

823
00:35:40,120 --> 00:35:42,439
Speaker 1: my must haves, Corbyn Carroll, for the same reason you said,

824
00:35:42,560 --> 00:35:45,480
Speaker 1: I think he is going to lead the Diamondbacks and Steels.

825
00:35:45,560 --> 00:35:48,160
Speaker 1: I think the power is legit. I agree with you

826
00:35:48,200 --> 00:35:50,920
Speaker 1: one hundred percent. They are discounting the fact that he's

827
00:35:50,960 --> 00:35:53,880
Speaker 1: a smaller guy. It's the same knock that guys like Altuve,

828
00:35:54,040 --> 00:35:56,440
Speaker 1: Gott and some other guys in the past. It's stupid,

829
00:35:56,640 --> 00:35:59,440
Speaker 1: it's overrated. Corbyn Carroll is a real deal and the

830
00:35:59,480 --> 00:36:03,400
Speaker 1: last one for me Eloy Ja Meenez. Now the first

831
00:36:03,440 --> 00:36:06,720
Speaker 1: season of Eloya Menez, thirty one homers in one hundred

832
00:36:06,719 --> 00:36:09,160
Speaker 1: and twenty two games, drove in seventy nine runs, hit

833
00:36:09,160 --> 00:36:12,759
Speaker 1: two sixty seven. I know twenty twenty was a short season,

834
00:36:12,800 --> 00:36:14,759
Speaker 1: but he had two ninety with fourteen bombs in the

835
00:36:14,800 --> 00:36:17,719
Speaker 1: short fifty five game season. He was hurt most of

836
00:36:17,760 --> 00:36:20,399
Speaker 1: twenty twenty one. He was hurt half of last year.

837
00:36:21,160 --> 00:36:23,200
Speaker 1: Even though he played half a season, he still had

838
00:36:23,239 --> 00:36:25,920
Speaker 1: sixteen homers and hit two ninety four. I think people

839
00:36:25,960 --> 00:36:29,360
Speaker 1: don't remember how good of a prospect he was. I

840
00:36:29,400 --> 00:36:31,680
Speaker 1: think people have forgotten because they haven't seen a complete

841
00:36:31,760 --> 00:36:34,480
Speaker 1: year of this player, how good he is. I think

842
00:36:34,560 --> 00:36:36,759
Speaker 1: Jimenez is one of these guys that right now, if

843
00:36:36,800 --> 00:36:38,719
Speaker 1: you're looking where he's going now, Corbyn Carroll's going in

844
00:36:38,760 --> 00:36:43,240
Speaker 1: outfielder twenty two. He's going in outfielder eighteen. It's stunning

845
00:36:43,320 --> 00:36:45,040
Speaker 1: to me that those players are even close to each

846
00:36:45,040 --> 00:36:47,880
Speaker 1: other at this point because ELOI has already shown you

847
00:36:47,920 --> 00:36:50,080
Speaker 1: what the ceiling is. He just hasn't put together a

848
00:36:50,080 --> 00:36:53,000
Speaker 1: full season. So just let him DH keep him away

849
00:36:53,040 --> 00:36:55,839
Speaker 1: from the field, just let him hit the ball. And

850
00:36:55,880 --> 00:36:57,880
Speaker 1: I think this is a special talent that people are

851
00:36:57,960 --> 00:37:02,120
Speaker 1: discounting because they forget what they've seen. And look, twenty

852
00:37:02,120 --> 00:37:05,080
Speaker 1: twenty wasn't his fault, twenty twenty one, twenty two. I

853
00:37:05,120 --> 00:37:07,200
Speaker 1: get it, it's been disappointing. He's far too young to

854
00:37:07,200 --> 00:37:10,880
Speaker 1: give up on right now. So those are my three guys, Rodriguez, Carol,

855
00:37:11,040 --> 00:37:13,000
Speaker 1: him and as well. Sure are your three must haves

856
00:37:13,000 --> 00:37:13,640
Speaker 1: in the outfield.

857
00:37:13,760 --> 00:37:15,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I might agree with you, by the way,

858
00:37:15,200 --> 00:37:17,239
Speaker 2: on all of those guys I want to draft, and

859
00:37:17,320 --> 00:37:19,279
Speaker 2: I'm into all of them. Corbyn Carrol I would have

860
00:37:19,320 --> 00:37:21,759
Speaker 2: put on this list had you not elo him. And

861
00:37:21,840 --> 00:37:23,920
Speaker 2: this is someone I tend to target. And I'm just

862
00:37:23,920 --> 00:37:26,680
Speaker 2: giving you crap about the Julio stuff, like I think.

863
00:37:26,520 --> 00:37:28,799
Speaker 1: And it's just twenty six years old. I think people

864
00:37:28,840 --> 00:37:31,160
Speaker 1: forget that too, Like, come on, guys.

865
00:37:31,239 --> 00:37:32,719
Speaker 2: Like I would have put a coony on this list,

866
00:37:32,760 --> 00:37:34,799
Speaker 2: but I just I pushed it back a little bit

867
00:37:34,800 --> 00:37:37,120
Speaker 2: further on must Havelves because I think when I'm looking

868
00:37:37,120 --> 00:37:40,080
Speaker 2: at must Halves for me, I'm looking at guys like that.

869
00:37:40,120 --> 00:37:40,400
Speaker 2: I know.

870
00:37:40,440 --> 00:37:42,360
Speaker 1: I yeah, I just wanted to drive home that point

871
00:37:42,360 --> 00:37:43,640
Speaker 1: that I think at the end of the year, I've

872
00:37:43,640 --> 00:37:45,560
Speaker 1: already put my money where my mouth is. I already

873
00:37:45,600 --> 00:37:48,239
Speaker 1: have him plus nine hundred for al MVP. I think

874
00:37:48,239 --> 00:37:51,120
Speaker 1: the path is there for him. Like, I just think

875
00:37:51,120 --> 00:37:52,680
Speaker 1: he is going to have that season and people are

876
00:37:52,800 --> 00:37:56,720
Speaker 1: I mean, he is special. You know that Ken Griffey

877
00:37:56,840 --> 00:38:00,480
Speaker 1: Junior special, whatever that is to you, That's what this

878
00:38:00,520 --> 00:38:02,399
Speaker 1: guy is. And I think it's going to be very

879
00:38:02,400 --> 00:38:04,960
Speaker 1: fun to watch him, you know, play one hundred and

880
00:38:04,960 --> 00:38:06,520
Speaker 1: fifty five games this year or just tear it up.

881
00:38:06,600 --> 00:38:10,319
Speaker 2: Funny, funny anecdote. I just remember this today. Something he

882
00:38:10,400 --> 00:38:14,000
Speaker 2: said last last spring. A little kid like ran up

883
00:38:14,040 --> 00:38:16,879
Speaker 2: and was like, Hey, Julio, do have a broken bat?

884
00:38:16,960 --> 00:38:18,640
Speaker 2: Can I have a bat? Did you break any bats?

885
00:38:18,800 --> 00:38:20,880
Speaker 2: And Julio looks over and he goes, I've never broken

886
00:38:20,880 --> 00:38:23,160
Speaker 2: a bat. He's like, I net like essentially saying he

887
00:38:23,200 --> 00:38:26,560
Speaker 2: never makes bad contact. He's like, I never break a bat. Today,

888
00:38:26,920 --> 00:38:29,040
Speaker 2: he was walking and it was next to him and

889
00:38:29,120 --> 00:38:31,879
Speaker 2: he dropped his bat and I looked over and I went,

890
00:38:31,960 --> 00:38:34,080
Speaker 2: Julio still hasn't broke a bat. He looked up and

891
00:38:34,120 --> 00:38:37,720
Speaker 2: he's like, I never. He's like, I never make bad contact.

892
00:38:37,760 --> 00:38:40,000
Speaker 2: I never break bats. And he loved that, because that's

893
00:38:40,040 --> 00:38:41,480
Speaker 2: just it just makes me think about him. He's just

894
00:38:41,520 --> 00:38:44,840
Speaker 2: such an elite, astute player that I can't go against it.

895
00:38:45,040 --> 00:38:47,719
Speaker 2: My three must have outfielders. This is, like I said,

896
00:38:47,719 --> 00:38:49,560
Speaker 2: a little bit in a world of I want to

897
00:38:49,600 --> 00:38:51,480
Speaker 2: prioritize to try to get these guys. I will tell

898
00:38:51,520 --> 00:38:54,040
Speaker 2: you Lars Dubart, Taylor Ward, Brain the Day, La Cruz

899
00:38:54,120 --> 00:38:56,279
Speaker 2: all kind of live in that as well. But these

900
00:38:56,320 --> 00:39:00,800
Speaker 2: guys at number nineteen on outfielders ADPN Fantasy Proan Reynolds

901
00:39:01,120 --> 00:39:03,480
Speaker 2: love good contact. I think he's great in every platform.

902
00:39:03,680 --> 00:39:05,960
Speaker 2: He stole seven bases, which is a career high. Last year,

903
00:39:06,000 --> 00:39:09,120
Speaker 2: had twenty seven homers, which was a career high. Strikeouts

904
00:39:09,120 --> 00:39:10,840
Speaker 2: are not a problem. He walks a decent amount and

905
00:39:10,840 --> 00:39:13,959
Speaker 2: had a two sixty batting average, And he did say

906
00:39:14,040 --> 00:39:16,720
Speaker 2: he was still open to signing a deal with the Pirates,

907
00:39:16,719 --> 00:39:18,359
Speaker 2: which boy, I hope is not true because I think

908
00:39:18,360 --> 00:39:20,680
Speaker 2: the other sneaky thing is if he gets traded, he's

909
00:39:20,719 --> 00:39:24,160
Speaker 2: even more valuable out there. Brian Reynolds is one Taoscar

910
00:39:24,200 --> 00:39:27,160
Speaker 2: Hernandez is me on an island. People don't like ta

911
00:39:27,200 --> 00:39:29,720
Speaker 2: Oscar because of some of the stuff we talked about before.

912
00:39:29,719 --> 00:39:32,759
Speaker 2: It's like really volatile CA's and he doesn't walk a

913
00:39:32,800 --> 00:39:34,960
Speaker 2: whole bunch, and a lot of people honing in on

914
00:39:35,000 --> 00:39:37,719
Speaker 2: like the Mariners being a worse environment. I don't think

915
00:39:37,719 --> 00:39:40,359
Speaker 2: we're going to see that. I think me and Frank

916
00:39:40,400 --> 00:39:42,760
Speaker 2: have talked about this a bunch. If you look at

917
00:39:42,840 --> 00:39:45,200
Speaker 2: the expected homers by ballpark, he actually would hit like

918
00:39:45,200 --> 00:39:47,720
Speaker 2: four more homers with Seattle than it would have been Toronto.

919
00:39:47,920 --> 00:39:49,759
Speaker 2: And there's a great team around him still, So I

920
00:39:49,800 --> 00:39:51,840
Speaker 2: think Taska's a little expensive, but I just want to

921
00:39:51,840 --> 00:39:53,120
Speaker 2: have him on a lot of teams, and I think

922
00:39:53,120 --> 00:39:55,200
Speaker 2: he goes a little bit later regardless of the rank.

923
00:39:55,360 --> 00:39:57,319
Speaker 2: And then finally we talked about Saaszuki. That's just one

924
00:39:57,360 --> 00:39:58,920
Speaker 2: of those guys that I want to try to get.

925
00:39:59,000 --> 00:40:01,360
Speaker 2: I would love to have a and then if I

926
00:40:01,440 --> 00:40:06,200
Speaker 2: con pair three of my sleepers and must haves, I've

927
00:40:06,239 --> 00:40:09,040
Speaker 2: got a great outfield. If I had you know Akunya,

928
00:40:09,760 --> 00:40:13,600
Speaker 2: tay Oscar Brian Reynolds, Lars Nootbar. I think I'm golden.

929
00:40:13,640 --> 00:40:15,239
Speaker 2: I think it's a great four and then I just

930
00:40:15,280 --> 00:40:16,960
Speaker 2: pick and choose where I can. That would be how

931
00:40:17,000 --> 00:40:18,680
Speaker 2: I'd want to do this when we're putting together our

932
00:40:18,719 --> 00:40:21,360
