Speaker 1: certain point and I was ready to go to the
Speaker 1: next point, and I was like, I just grimace. I'm like,
Speaker 1: what happened to your back? I'm like, yes, and it's strained. Frank,
Speaker 1: I got a strained back, for sure. I pulled a
Speaker 1: muscle back here. Greg, all jokes aside, the same thing
Speaker 1: happens to me. Man, Like, we're not getting any younger. Dude,
Speaker 1: when does it go away? It doesn't. Your back is

Speaker 1: That is your BFF sports grid news update for this hour.
Speaker 1: Now back to Greg and Frank. All right, welcome back
Speaker 1: to Fantasy BFFs. We're gonna jump into a ton from
Speaker 1: a fantasy baseball perspective today. We're gonna give you some
Speaker 1: updates on our rankings. How far down are we be
Speaker 1: moving some of these injured players. Justin Verlander, we got
Speaker 1: the news just earlier dealing with a latin injury. So
Speaker 1: he's shut down for the foreseeable future. I'll get into
Speaker 1: all of that. I'll have a white board for you
Speaker 1: guys later on in the show, what should you do
Speaker 1: if you have the six pick in your Fantasy Baseball draft?
Speaker 1: Will jump into all of that, but first, it's a
Speaker 1: snippet from tipt earlier today, Greg Susman with Drew dig
Speaker 1: Meyer from Delhi Roado dot com talking about Miles Bridges
Speaker 1: for tonight's NBA Dflate. Moving over to small forward, Miles
Speaker 1: Bridges is up next for US. Bridges one of those
Speaker 1: guys all season long, you add and your dropping your
Speaker 1: season long league dfs. You put him in, then you
Speaker 1: it's stunk, and then you didn't put him in and
Speaker 1: he went off. Tonight, We're expecting a big game for
Speaker 1: Miles Bridges, or at least we hope. Yeah. I think
Speaker 1: this is the right type of environment from Miles Bridges.
Speaker 1: I think there's a couple of things going on in
Speaker 1: Charlotte's rotation that have helped Bridges to perform a little
Speaker 1: bit better of late. One of the big things is
Speaker 1: the fact that you know they've they've smoleek Monks suspension,
Speaker 1: and as a result, there's been more usage to kind
Speaker 1: of go around. They staggered Bridges in Washington a little
Speaker 1: bit more, splitting up some of that usage, and now
Speaker 1: you get a great game environment with Atlanta, a team
Speaker 1: that you know allows the most fantasy points kind of
Speaker 1: across positions to two opposing teams because they play at
Speaker 1: such a fast pace that gave up so many steels
Speaker 1: and blocks. Miles Bridges at small forward is one of
Speaker 1: those guys that has you know, forty fantasy point outside
Speaker 1: and he's probably kind of in the five thousand. So
Speaker 1: I think attacking that Charlotte Atlanta game is an interesting
Speaker 1: one tonight, and we'll certainly have to watch the injury
Speaker 1: report on Atlanta side, but Miles Bridges is certainly one
Speaker 1: of those targets for Charlotte, and I'm looking to tonight
Speaker 1: have it Miles Bridges one of the players that we
Speaker 1: can consider grabbing here tonight in d F fast, I
Speaker 1: was gonna look at the bucks, Frank, there's no nice tonight,
Speaker 1: Eric bless So, Chris Middleton, Brook Lopez, all in play, Acquary,
Speaker 1: the Drew Digmayer tonight on the oral all are going
Speaker 1: to step up uh for Janice here. So I went
Speaker 1: back to back for the Bucks, but you like them all.
Speaker 1: Chris Middleton's points one game, that's nine game is not
Speaker 1: in the lineup. Yeah, I remember he had that big
Speaker 1: game earlier this season where he scored over fifty points
Speaker 1: in that average. That'll help the average for sure. So yeah,
Speaker 1: I definitely look at some of the Bucks tonight. Miles
Speaker 1: Bridges as well. They're cheaper than usual, so obviously a
Speaker 1: solid value there as well. Greg, how about this this
Speaker 1: year for my fantasy baseball home league, we were all
Speaker 1: assigned a baseball a basketball game, and whoever had the
Speaker 1: highest point total, we'll get first pick, second pick, so
Speaker 1: on and so forth, Greg, I had the Bucks and
Speaker 1: Sons yesterday two d and one. I'm in first place.
Speaker 1: There's three games left tonight, so there's a chance, but
Speaker 1: I don't suspect those teams those games are gonna go
Speaker 1: over two points. So that means, uh, I have the
Speaker 1: first pick in my home league. Mike Trout, Christian each
Speaker 1: wherever I want, Rond the Cooni already kept. I could
Speaker 1: take a picture, Greg, you do a pictures, probably take
Speaker 1: an old one too, Not Justin Verlander. He's an old
Speaker 1: like you don't want to take Justin Verlander over the
Speaker 1: weekend left the game after two winnings. He was supposed
Speaker 1: to go for why you asked, because he has a
Speaker 1: lot strain which came out earlier today, a lot strain
Speaker 1: four years ago. I believe we're five years ago now.
Speaker 1: I cost him a little bit of time. Of course,
Speaker 1: we know that Luis Savorino's last strain cost him several
Speaker 1: months last year for the New York Yankee, Justin Verlander
Speaker 1: was going off the board at picture A number three. Frank,
Speaker 1: how far down you're dropping Justin Brlander. So I've already
Speaker 1: dropped him down to SP five and I feel like
Speaker 1: I'd probably need to drop him a little bit lower, Greg,
Speaker 1: So we could talk this out in the air right now.
Speaker 1: Find out what you do with Justin Verlander as well.
Speaker 1: But I'm thinking I have to move him down probably
Speaker 1: closer to the ten mark, probably you know, around that
Speaker 1: bieber Strasburg Flaherty group, maybe even behind that group as well,
Speaker 1: because again last strain, you mentioned it what Luie Sabino
Speaker 1: dealt with last year. Inside Injuries tweeted this out that
Speaker 1: the Astros are obviously shutting down Verlander. He left to
Speaker 1: start yesterday mild last train. This is a tough injury
Speaker 1: for a picture, and I expect to miss at least
Speaker 1: the first few weeks of the season, Greg, So you
Speaker 1: might potentially see him miss the first month, the entire
Speaker 1: first month. Maybe it's mid April, late April. Nobody knows
Speaker 1: for sure. And because of that uncertainty, I've dropped him
Speaker 1: down to five for now, but I'm thinking I'm gonna
Speaker 1: drop him down to eight. I'm definitely drawing him down
Speaker 1: to five. I think that's I think that's easy. Fay,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna move them behind Biber, Strassburg, Flawherty. You do
Speaker 1: love those guys. Actually don't love those guys. Is interesting.
Speaker 1: You don't love Flower, you don't love Strasberg, you love Beaver.
Speaker 1: I do love Biber. I just don't really like the
Speaker 1: price on those guys. I think they're a little overvalued
Speaker 1: in the second right. I think it's hard with verlander Um,
Speaker 1: and it's really hard with all these injuries. Like Lake
Speaker 1: Snell came back from injury and walk forward guys today
Speaker 1: like a little hit the but he walked forward guys
Speaker 1: fifteen two pitches, zero point one, no hit anything, Greg bad.
Speaker 1: He said his arms felt great after the game, he's
Speaker 1: rearly hit on the gun. He's arm felt great, he
Speaker 1: said he was throwing awesome, but you know, driving his legs,
Speaker 1: He's like, this is what springs four? Like I gotta
Speaker 1: figure it out. But at least mat Orma feels good.
Speaker 1: Couldn't locate his fastball at all. No, So, in regards
Speaker 1: of Verlander, does it come back? Is he's the same guy?
Speaker 1: Does he lose something? Does he rushed back? And these
Speaker 1: are the questions to ask yourself, And the same goes
Speaker 1: for a lot of these injured players, right like is
Speaker 1: there when you were taking them? Is there a spot
Speaker 1: where you're like, I don't want to deal with these injuries.
Speaker 1: I have to deal with injuries anyway. It's like why
Speaker 1: bother getting into this versus? This is too big of
Speaker 1: a discount, Like how do I how do I not
Speaker 1: take a chance here? Like I may find the league
Speaker 1: winner by taking injured playing here. My Clevinger comes to
Speaker 1: mind because he's been injured for a while, he's coming
Speaker 1: back and maybe he drops too far and I don't
Speaker 1: know which camp to fall in. Traditionally I've been very
Speaker 1: conservative when it comes to injuries. Then you get to
Speaker 1: a point where I'm like, oh, this is silly, I
Speaker 1: should take this guy. I'm more like, F'm more likely
Speaker 1: to take Verlander in a shallower league, like a ten
Speaker 1: or twelve team league, because it's easier to deal with
Speaker 1: the injury. Where if you take him in a fifteen teamer, Greg,
Speaker 1: replacing that starting pitcher spot in your lineup is really
Speaker 1: really tough in those leaks. It's hard, man, It's hard
Speaker 1: to figure out health. It's number one thing you gotta
Speaker 1: think about drafting pictures more all the way. We're ranky's
Speaker 1: come on next. I want to be the next Daily

Speaker 1: I'm Greg Men justin Verlander and where we're dripping him
Speaker 1: in and regulating point in the break, because I said,
Speaker 1: as we're going to break, then I would have them
Speaker 1: at five. I wouldn't drop them too far. And I
Speaker 1: Frank goes, Lesson, you're driving right now. We have our
Speaker 1: draft on Thursday. Legitimately, you're driving right now. Are you
Speaker 1: taking Berlander ahead of Javer, Jack Flaherty, or Steven shosh
Speaker 1: And or Steven Shossbrook. My answer was, now, I would
Speaker 1: take all three of those guys ahead of Verlander right now.
Speaker 1: Then he goes, Okay, what about the next Trude, the
Speaker 1: Patrick Corman, the Blake Snell, the his boy Charlie Morton
Speaker 1: like that kind of those guys. I think I would
Speaker 1: take Verlander ahead of them. He goes, then you have
Speaker 1: him at eight, And you're right, Frank, I do have
Speaker 1: him at eight. Then, um, that's what I would do
Speaker 1: right in this second. You're absolutely right, So fair enough.
Speaker 1: When it comes to Justin Verlander, let me move um
Speaker 1: and go in a different direction. And I want to
Speaker 1: go with a positive rankings mover. And that's Jese's Lazardo
Speaker 1: over the weekend, and you and I had talked about
Speaker 1: this a bit. This morning, Lozardo was filthy as he
Speaker 1: has been all spring long for the aids, and he
Speaker 1: was filthy last spring. He's now filthy this spring, and
Speaker 1: he has a lot of people talking about how good
Speaker 1: he is. I have Haze's Lozardo ranked as my thirtieth
Speaker 1: starting pitcher on the board. You know, I I love
Speaker 1: Haze's Lozardo. Um, but we're seeing that price certainly climbed
Speaker 1: for him, both in auction values and in overall rankings. Uh.
Speaker 1: Or in this month over at the NFBC, he's costing
Speaker 1: me about fourteen dollars. Uh. He's the hundred and eleventh
Speaker 1: player off the board at this moment. Is Hazel Lazaro
Speaker 1: getting too expensive for you? Frank? Yeah? I think he is, Greg,
Speaker 1: And you know, I have bummed him up slightly in
Speaker 1: the rankings, But all along I kind of knew that
Speaker 1: I wasn't gonna wind up with a lot of Hayes's
Speaker 1: Lazaro shares, Greg, because I think he's gonna keep climbing
Speaker 1: and climbing. And we have the NFBC main events this weekend,
Speaker 1: and I think he's gonna wind up being a top thirty,
Speaker 1: maybe even a top twenty five starting pitcher drafted six
Speaker 1: seventh round, whatever it might be. I have him at
Speaker 1: SP thirty two, and I think that's a good spot
Speaker 1: to have him. And you know, over to the weekend,
Speaker 1: we saw the adp climbed to one oh eight. So
Speaker 1: he's a thirty fifth pitcher off the board board. But
Speaker 1: consider that there are closures that go ahead of him
Speaker 1: as well, so Taylor, Rogers one, Hendricks too Soon at three,
Speaker 1: Chapman four, Yates five, and then Hate or six, so
Speaker 1: that actually puts him at nine off the board. Great,
Speaker 1: he's already inside. He's already inside the top thirty. And
Speaker 1: I'm telling you this weekend, Gregg, he's gonna be closer
Speaker 1: to So I have him reluctantly at thirty two. I
Speaker 1: have him, you know, just ahead, I have Montas Freed,
Speaker 1: Gallen Lament, so Rocca, Zach Wheeler, and Matthew Boyd. I
Speaker 1: have Lozardo ahead of every single one of those players,
Speaker 1: dam And I've had it like that, right, But you
Speaker 1: have other players ahead that just I don't agree with,
Speaker 1: like like Bower and Clueburn, those guys. I have lower
Speaker 1: Rasco tremendous And I literally literally was about to say
Speaker 1: I have to lower Karashka. Dealing with elbow inflammation, himself. No,
Speaker 1: thank you. I have to lower Carrasko. I gotta lower
Speaker 1: a wheeler. It's hardly gonna be in my top twenty
Speaker 1: five boards. Also hadn't done Lozardo. Yeah, I looked at me,
Speaker 1: and you just see this a little bit differently because
Speaker 1: I like Lozardo and I when he's on the mound,
Speaker 1: he's gonna be really, really good. He at eight strikeouts
Speaker 1: this weekend, like three and a third endings pitched against
Speaker 1: Seattle Mariners, mid nineties fastball, change up, slider combination. Um,
Speaker 1: he's got the secondary pitches, he's got the poise, he's
Speaker 1: got everything that you want, except potentially the endings. Greg.
Speaker 1: So that's where you and I differ a little bit here.
Speaker 1: Y gradersigned quantity. Frank. Look, even if even if Freed
Speaker 1: or Gallen or Mantas are not as good on on
Speaker 1: a per ending basis, I I suspect all of those
Speaker 1: guys are probably going to give you thirty to forty
Speaker 1: more endings pitched in Lazardo this season. I don't think
Speaker 1: he's giving you much more than one thirty. And we
Speaker 1: didn't talk about They haven't talked about this player. It
Speaker 1: wasn't we were at schedule to talking about this player today.
Speaker 1: We know Tyler Glass now, We're not talking about Tyler
Speaker 1: Glass now very much at all. Like he's sitting here
Speaker 1: a number twenty six in my ranking, so I just
Speaker 1: let his name pop up. He's one of the players, Greg,
Speaker 1: that is obviously risk reward, and I wanted at least
Speaker 1: a few shares of him in case he does pop off,
Speaker 1: because he has that potential. There's no doubt about that. Like,
Speaker 1: the guy was a lecture last year. Um, he had
Speaker 1: like a sub two e r A. But the injury
Speaker 1: risk is real, Greg, I mean he dealt with I
Speaker 1: believe it was like a flex or mass last year
Speaker 1: or something in his forearm elbow area, Like it wouldn't
Speaker 1: surprise me one bit if he's a month into the season,
Speaker 1: he's shut down for the rest of the year and
Speaker 1: he season ending surgery. Like that's the type of risk
Speaker 1: that comes with someone like Tyler Glass now. But the
Speaker 1: upside is if he stays healthy for a hundred and
Speaker 1: fifty plus endings, he's probably a top twelve starting pitcher.
Speaker 1: So I'm kind of splitting the difference here, Greg and
Speaker 1: I haven't met twenty one, so to me, right after
Speaker 1: that group of Nolah, Syndergard, Granky Paddock, who those guys, um,
Speaker 1: you know, routinely going in the fourth, fifth round range.
Speaker 1: After those guys go Tyler Glass. Now is the next
Speaker 1: starting pitcher up that I would target. I have him
Speaker 1: just ahead of Brandon Woodruff, just ahead of Jose Barrios,
Speaker 1: just ahead of Sonny Gray, all the hype guys as well. Um,
Speaker 1: And I'm really just kind of splitting the difference because
Speaker 1: I think the upside is massive, but I also think
Speaker 1: the floor is you know, he's out for the season
Speaker 1: and doesn't give you much more than like ten stars
Speaker 1: asked me that same tier with Sonny Gray, Josie Barrios, Um,
Speaker 1: Trevor Bower for me, not for you? I know which
Speaker 1: well have the weekend though last that was not I've
Speaker 1: said this about a lot of players. He's not an
Speaker 1: active targetive targets, not an active target. All right, Greg,
Speaker 1: what would how would you like me to friend? I
Speaker 1: want a name. I want to name our team active target. Yeah,
Speaker 1: target side the active target. Oh dude, we should get
Speaker 1: like the target that was easy button I have that's
Speaker 1: a Staples. Yeah, I screwed that one up, Dude, that
Speaker 1: would have been great if every time we went a
Speaker 1: player at the auction that was easy we could. We
Speaker 1: could still do that, yeah, but it would have been
Speaker 1: better if it was target. Should I bring the button? Sure?
Speaker 1: Let's have find a way for them to hate us
Speaker 1: even more. Mind you, there's a fifteen team auction that
Speaker 1: we participated in every year, the Gotham Diamond District. Some
Speaker 1: real heavy hitters in this league. Derek van riper Cardi
Speaker 1: does projections, so the heeny he hates us. The BFFs
Speaker 1: draft Zack Gallen, let's go. I'm down. Oh it's so good.
Speaker 1: Can you take this? I don't forget? Yes, perfect, putting
Speaker 1: it in the book bag now, I mean fantastic. I
Speaker 1: can't wait to do that. We really should get like
Speaker 1: a target and like a dartboard. We should do it.
Speaker 1: Say we'll put it, will put a hangover? Um, no,
Speaker 1: I can play darts. You're not good at right? Okay,
Speaker 1: we should put it like where the white board is?
Speaker 1: We just active target? Who are Greg and Frank's active
Speaker 1: targets this year? The Great show Man Ran Reynolds Safari Planet.
Speaker 1: Too many, too many ideas, too late? Um, the not
Speaker 1: an active target target here? So guy. Let's look at
Speaker 1: some other players whose values rising and falling. That includes
Speaker 1: the Yankee outfield of Jean Carlos Stand and Aaron Judge.
Speaker 1: Stanton's working his way back from a calf injury. U
Speaker 1: seems to be making good progress, but we've seen this
Speaker 1: before with Stanton. Aaron Judge we found out I guess
Speaker 1: it was Friday, an Friday or Saturday. Um, but he's
Speaker 1: got this thing going on on and they're waiting two
Speaker 1: weeks to see if, like, hey, maybe it'll make it better.
Speaker 1: Even though he's rested for like six months, these two
Speaker 1: weeks will determine whether he needs surgery or not. Uh.
Speaker 1: Inside injuries, Virginia Zaka is uh speculated that they could
Speaker 1: be out, he could be out for period of months. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he's of course, they're not going that far yet. I
Speaker 1: know Aaron Judge was not an active target of yours previously,
Speaker 1: But how far is he's dropping inside your rankings? So
Speaker 1: I moved him down to outfielder thirty eight, Gregs, so
Speaker 1: I have him very low. Over the weekend, we saw
Speaker 1: the ADP at outfielder twenty eight, So still about ten
Speaker 1: spots higher in ranking than than I am comfortable taking
Speaker 1: going to just ahead of guys like in four Oh,
Speaker 1: Friend Milrays, Michael Brantley, all outfielders that I do like
Speaker 1: the season, Jean Carlos Stanton is going one outfielder spot higher.
Speaker 1: My question where Gean Carlos Stanton have Stanton at thirty one?
Speaker 1: So I do feel a little bit better about where
Speaker 1: Stanton is going. But great, I mean, why take the
Speaker 1: risk on power hitting outfielder and Stanton who has a
Speaker 1: calf injury right now when you can get friend mil
Speaker 1: Reis twenty picks later. He's healthy right now and he's
Speaker 1: mashing in spring, so his upside could be that he
Speaker 1: has forty five home runs as well, So why even
Speaker 1: take the risk on Stanton or Judge? At that point,
Speaker 1: I agree, I just did it. I'm more likely to
Speaker 1: take stand. That's where I've kind of I'm more likely
Speaker 1: to take Stanton than I am judged. Oh that's fantastic, Frank, alright,
Speaker 1: So I just I just redid it as we're on
Speaker 1: the air because I'm listening to Frank. Here we go,
Speaker 1: h I now have Stanton at twenty eight and Judges
Speaker 1: of twenty nine. That's where they ended up. Oh wow, Greg, Well,
Speaker 1: don't want an FBC A d P. You know were there,
Speaker 1: look Stanton and jud That is where I just where
Speaker 1: I feel comfortable. Another name that was actually thirty one
Speaker 1: on the list, thirty one and thirty two and thirty
Speaker 1: three only crap, h thirty one and thirty three on
Speaker 1: my list. All uh have numbers that are probably going
Speaker 1: down right now. Frank Train, Mancini, Oscar Mercano, and Willie
Speaker 1: Calhoun all over the weekend get hurt. Mercado has a
Speaker 1: wrist injury actually were negative of. Hopefully we're back in
Speaker 1: the lane this week. If that remains the case, I
Speaker 1: won't move him. Willie Calhoun got hit in the face
Speaker 1: broke his jaw. That's annoying and horrible for him. And
Speaker 1: then Trae man Cini has this pretty serious undisclosed injury
Speaker 1: where his teammates are like wishing him well and hoping
Speaker 1: he gets back soon. And I don't know what that is.
Speaker 1: That could be anywhere if I'm not trying to joke,
Speaker 1: like anywhere like a coronavirus thing to something significantly more serious,
Speaker 1: and it's very very scary. Where do you have Trae Mancini,
Speaker 1: Oscar Mercado and Willie Calhoun now in your rankings, So
Speaker 1: I moved Oscar Mercado down. I had him around thirty
Speaker 1: and I moved him down to thirty seven. So oncepot
Speaker 1: ahead of Aaron Judge, I'll take I'll still take a
Speaker 1: chance on Mercado. I don't know how far he's going
Speaker 1: to move over the weekend. His a DP was at
Speaker 1: outfielder thirty three, so maybe I could jump in there. Obviously,
Speaker 1: dealing with the rist injury, he's day to day. You know,
Speaker 1: doesn't sound too bad, right, sounds it sounds like you
Speaker 1: got away with it. It sounds like all the other
Speaker 1: player as we're talking about here, Greg are at a
Speaker 1: much higher risk Willie Calhoun. We don't know what the
Speaker 1: timetable is gonna look like, but he fractured his jaw,
Speaker 1: and I just feel so bad for Willie Calhoun because
Speaker 1: this was the opportunity he was finally going to start
Speaker 1: Opening Day, be the left fielder, no one standing in
Speaker 1: his way, hit twenty one homers and like eighty games
Speaker 1: last year, I really thought this was the year Willie
Speaker 1: Calhoun to seventy plus batting average, thirty plus home runs,
Speaker 1: hitting in the middle of a solid lineup with the
Speaker 1: Texas Rangers. And now we don't know what the timetable
Speaker 1: looks like, but fractured jaw. I've seen some people speculate
Speaker 1: six weeks Greg, So that would put him at the
Speaker 1: middle of April, the end of April. Maybe this is
Speaker 1: the whole first month of the same. And it's like
Speaker 1: I dropped him down to i'll feel eight and I
Speaker 1: have Mancini one spot behind him at forty nine. Same same.
Speaker 1: It's actually crazy. I just absolutely just did it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Calhoun at forty eight, Man at forty nine. Hopefully get
Speaker 1: more information. Shout out to Mancini. Hope he's all right,
Speaker 1: you know, just wishing him well his family as well,
Speaker 1: because I and I think the way you illustrated that
Speaker 1: Greg was perfectly. We just don't know what's going on
Speaker 1: with him right now. We know, of course, Chris sale
Speaker 1: We've talked about him and what's going on. I don't
Speaker 1: really want to touch Chris sal Um. Nevertheless, I moved
Speaker 1: Christal to move them down to a hundred and thirty three.
Speaker 1: What is actually right? Oh great, we're not far off.
Speaker 1: I haven't at forty two. How about Blace, No, Greg,
Speaker 1: let's round it all out. So I previs said Blake
Speaker 1: Snell at number nine for me right, I could see
Speaker 1: me somebodyself moving in fourteen, so I'm probably not gonna
Speaker 1: have too risky man. He's back, He's healthy. Whiteboard series

Speaker 1: here on BFFs Dregs, I's gonna live Scott Parrell Mafia
Speaker 1: will be out in Jersey with him, so it should
Speaker 1: be a fun show. The Scott Westel during the program
Speaker 1: in our number two You're on the BFFs. We will
Speaker 1: get back tomorrow to some of the movers and shakers
Speaker 1: up towns. We like to call it in the rankings
Speaker 1: of players that are moving up and down based upon
Speaker 1: where what they are doing in spring training. But right
Speaker 1: now a lot of people have asked, Hey, I had
Speaker 1: the number six pick, what do I do? The top
Speaker 1: pictures are probably off the board. Potentially you're not are
Speaker 1: your choice of pictures is probably pretty easy. Um, but
Speaker 1: maybe Voiceley it's it's not Maybe we should have done
Speaker 1: like pick eight. Frank may pick nine realistically pick nine tomorrow.
Speaker 1: All right? Is that all being said, it's time to
Speaker 1: go with the lightboard series. Here is Frank Stample. Thank you, Gregg.
Speaker 1: That was a fantastic introduction here to the white board
Speaker 1: series today. Uh, here's the six pick. Maybe we should
Speaker 1: have an eight or nine. We'll do it tomorrow. Thanks Greg.
Speaker 1: That was was fantastic. In case any of you missed
Speaker 1: the other white board series that we've done or when
Speaker 1: I've done this throughout the fantasy football season, what I
Speaker 1: like to do is draft three different teams. So I'm
Speaker 1: gonna give you the first three picks in fantasy baseball
Speaker 1: from the six pick. Uh, And this is basically how
Speaker 1: I would like to start the team. And you build
Speaker 1: out your base and and uh, you know, for the
Speaker 1: rest of the draft, you're set up nicely and you
Speaker 1: can kind of go in any direction that you want to.
Speaker 1: When I did this for football, normally I would just
Speaker 1: do two to three teams and kind of picked them
Speaker 1: up against each other. Today, I'm gonna do one in Rhoto,
Speaker 1: one in head to head points. Obviously, there's people who
Speaker 1: playing in all different types of formats, so I'm gonna
Speaker 1: try and cover as many basses as I possibly can.
Speaker 1: Hear Greg, So we'll start things off with the number
Speaker 1: six pick, and I will be operating under the assumption
Speaker 1: that in Rhoto pitching is getting pulled up the board
Speaker 1: right now, obviously the Justin Verlander injury. I'm going to
Speaker 1: assume that the top three hitters the top two pitchers
Speaker 1: are gone when it comes to the Rhodo side of
Speaker 1: things here, which means you'll have your decision between Cody
Speaker 1: Bellinger Mookie Bets. Greg and I have argued over this
Speaker 1: in the past. I prefer Cody Bellinger over Mookie Bets,
Speaker 1: but I think you can go with either one of them. Obviously,
Speaker 1: both are five category contributors and just contribute across the board.
Speaker 1: Give you it's all betting average home runs obviously, the
Speaker 1: power of the runs, the r b i s and
Speaker 1: stolen bases as well. Mookie Bets probably give you, you know,
Speaker 1: five to seven more steels and someone like Bellinger. But
Speaker 1: Bellinger had fifteen stolen bases last year, so uh, you know,
Speaker 1: in the middle of that first round, you grab one
Speaker 1: of him or Mookie Bets obviously set yourself up quite
Speaker 1: well across the board from a Rooto perspective, taking either
Speaker 1: Cody Bellinger or Mookie Betts on this side. Greg in
Speaker 1: head to head points league, I have stressed over and
Speaker 1: over that you need starting pitcher. I believe when I
Speaker 1: did the first pick here, I said, yeah, you should
Speaker 1: probably take one of you know, Garrit Cole or Jacob
Speaker 1: Degram with the first overall pick. They just scored so
Speaker 1: many more points than the top scoring hitter. And this
Speaker 1: is going based off of the CBS Sports head to
Speaker 1: head points scoring format that they use. There's like three
Speaker 1: points for a quality start, five points for a win,
Speaker 1: whatever it might be three points or an ending have
Speaker 1: a point for a strikeout. But in the league's I play.
Speaker 1: In the head to head points leagues, the pictures typically
Speaker 1: outscored the top hitters and it's not necessarily close. So
Speaker 1: take your pick, whether it's Jacob degraam Garrit Cole. Uh,
Speaker 1: let's just assume Jacob Degram has gone already, or vice versa,
Speaker 1: whatever it might be. Whole I'll even just put the
Speaker 1: Graham here whoever is available between the two at pick six. Obviously,
Speaker 1: I do want one of those guys, and honestly, if
Speaker 1: they're both gone by picks they I probably would pull
Speaker 1: even another starting picture up the board, whether it's a
Speaker 1: Walker Bueller or whether it's a Max schers or probably
Speaker 1: Max Scherzer project a few more dings for him and
Speaker 1: the volume and had to add points League is so
Speaker 1: so important, So GARYT. Cohler, Taco de Graham or you know,
Speaker 1: if those guys are gone, I'm probably gonna pull pull
Speaker 1: one of Walker Bueller or Max hrs or up the
Speaker 1: board here, Greg, any problems thus far outside of the
Speaker 1: fact that you like Mookie Bets over Cody bet Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think be Bets over Cody Bellinger. The nice job
Speaker 1: explaining here at six, Hey to Graham and Coley, expect
Speaker 1: to be gone in that format, which is why you're
Speaker 1: taking Cody Bellinger there at six and the points format. Um,
Speaker 1: if Bullen were still there, I think what's really interesting
Speaker 1: is that you're still pulling a picture up the board,
Speaker 1: whether that's Bueller or Shuts are depending on who whom
Speaker 1: you like. Um. For me, I think the best player
Speaker 1: available right is best player available. I think Frankie. If
Speaker 1: Colin de Graham are both gone, I think it's Francis
Speaker 1: Lander like I think that of the guy I'm thinking
Speaker 1: at six. If the two top pictures are gone, I
Speaker 1: don't I get what colon the ground was like that
Speaker 1: much better than everybody else and me and Shuts has
Speaker 1: been there, Formula could generally enter that territory. But I
Speaker 1: think that I lean Lindoor over Yeah, and Lindora is
Speaker 1: honestly a better player for Rhodo than he is for
Speaker 1: head to head points leagues, obviously because he contributes town
Speaker 1: basis Tolen bases don't really matter much in a points
Speaker 1: league perspective. Francisco Lindora? When where? What are you talking about?
Speaker 1: I don't know the auction in the auction, Well, if
Speaker 1: you want to spend you know, thirty five or more
Speaker 1: dollars on our top hitter, Greg, then sure we could
Speaker 1: jump in on Francisco lindor Wait, alright, something you can
Speaker 1: think about here, Greg. Let's move on to the second round.
Speaker 1: Whether it's Cody Blinger, whether it's a Mookie bets, I
Speaker 1: am going to want to grab at least one starting
Speaker 1: pitcher in the first two rounds. You know, if you're
Speaker 1: playing Rhodo and one of the gram or Cole fell
Speaker 1: to you, then I think you can take that starting pitcher.
Speaker 1: But assuming that they're gone, you take the hitter here
Speaker 1: in the first I do want to get a starting
Speaker 1: pitcher in the second round. I need one of those workhorses.
Speaker 1: I need an ace and to me, Shane Bieber is
Speaker 1: that next man up. And according to the nf b
Speaker 1: c A DP, Shane Bieber is still available at this
Speaker 1: point in the draft. What he did last year over
Speaker 1: two dings one of fifteen pitchers who did that, you know,
Speaker 1: close to two d and fifty strikeouts last year. Uh.
Speaker 1: The guy is just amazing, Shay. He's having a great
Speaker 1: spring so far as well, apparently working on his changeup.
Speaker 1: He's developing that the fastball has been the issue for
Speaker 1: Shane Biever per hour. The breaking stuff is great, the
Speaker 1: slider of the curve ball they all progressed last year.
Speaker 1: Now working on his change up as well, So if
Speaker 1: he has a legit four pitch mix with three off
Speaker 1: speed pitches that he can throw for strikes that he
Speaker 1: can get swings and misses on. I think Shane Bieber
Speaker 1: maybe he is even better than he was last year.
Speaker 1: I don't mind taking him in this second round range. Again,
Speaker 1: with all the injuries to starting pitchers, I want to
Speaker 1: make sure that I get at least one of those
Speaker 1: workhorses that's going to give me two hundred plus endings,
Speaker 1: and I do expect that out of Shane Bieber here
Speaker 1: as well. Going back to the other side, head to
Speaker 1: head points league, according to the ADP, you can actually
Speaker 1: get some really really good hitters here in the second
Speaker 1: round range, Greg in the middle of that second round,
Speaker 1: which projects four pick eighteen. Again, this is in a
Speaker 1: twelve team league. To take Gary Cole or de gram
Speaker 1: or a Walker Bueller or Suser if these two guys
Speaker 1: are gone. The reason why I see should take a
Speaker 1: starting pitcher in the first because the hitters available in
Speaker 1: the second are really really good. So whether it's a
Speaker 1: Bryce Harper, yes, I know he's moving up draft boards
Speaker 1: right now, but I don't think he's gonna move much
Speaker 1: higher than around pick eighteen, which is the middle of
Speaker 1: the second round, or even according to the NBC ADP.
Speaker 1: Well like Alex Bregman. If you get either one of
Speaker 1: these guys. Bregman was the top scoring hitter in head
Speaker 1: to head points leads last year. Just hits a ton
Speaker 1: of doubles. I'm not really worried about the whole cheating
Speaker 1: scandal when it comes to Alex Bregman. Just lifts the ball,
Speaker 1: hit pulls it. Hit so many balls to that short
Speaker 1: porch in left field. With the Houston Astros again batting average,
Speaker 1: great play discipline. He was the only qualified hitter who
Speaker 1: had more walks than strikeouts last year. That helps you
Speaker 1: in a head to head points leave format as well. Greg,
Speaker 1: So we'll jump back in. Get you involved here, Greg,
Speaker 1: body Balinger Shane Bieber in the second round. Whether it's
Speaker 1: a Strasburg or maybe you like a Jack Flaherty more,
Speaker 1: you can go in that direction. I have Shane Bieber
Speaker 1: now as my SP five with the injury to Justin Verlander.
Speaker 1: On the other side, Greg, I want to take a
Speaker 1: starting pitcher in a head to head points league in
Speaker 1: that first round, and then in the second round you're
Speaker 1: still exposed to a really, really good hitter in one
Speaker 1: of Bryce Harper or Alex Bregnant. Yeah. So if Bryce
Speaker 1: Harvor Alex Bregan are on the board there in the
Speaker 1: second round, you're right that that's an awesome, awesome spot,
Speaker 1: uh in the six in the second round to get
Speaker 1: one of these guys. And these are players that we've
Speaker 1: talked about. Bryce Harvard now going in the first round
Speaker 1: of these fifteen team NFBC draft. Bregman is a guy. Uh,
Speaker 1: then I think you can certainly take at the end
Speaker 1: of the first round in a twelve team league or
Speaker 1: a thief teen team league. I like Alex Bregman. I
Speaker 1: think that um kind of about your valued a little bit.
Speaker 1: This week is year because all the astro stuff going on.
Speaker 1: I like both of these players, Frank at this spot
Speaker 1: in the second round there, Shane Bieber, Jack Flaherty. I
Speaker 1: can get one of those guys in the second round.
Speaker 1: That's a no brainer. I really like it. All these
Speaker 1: teams going out all right, here we go, so we'll
Speaker 1: move on to the third round as well to hair
Speaker 1: with Cody Bellinger and Shane Bieber. Uh. And there's a
Speaker 1: group of middle infielders that I just love going in
Speaker 1: this range Greg this year in the third round. That's
Speaker 1: why in most of my drafts. I don't really mind
Speaker 1: taking a starting picture early because you have exposure to
Speaker 1: guys like Javier bays guys like Ozzy Albis as well.
Speaker 1: I spoke about Javier Bayez in the past during the
Speaker 1: whiteboard series. If you wanted to take a short stop here,
Speaker 1: he would be the option for me in the third round.
Speaker 1: He's my uh, you know, right behind Fernando Tatis and
Speaker 1: that whole group, the top short stops, the elite shortstops.
Speaker 1: Javier Bias would be the one. But let's assume that
Speaker 1: he's done, or that we want to attack positions scarcity instead,
Speaker 1: and you can look at a second basement and my
Speaker 1: top second basement, Gregg, as we spoke about when we
Speaker 1: previewed the position, is Azzi Albis at second base, someone
Speaker 1: who I think can give you twenty twenty, maybe even
Speaker 1: take that next step this year. He obviously did that
Speaker 1: last season in terms of the batting average, and I
Speaker 1: think he's hitting close to three hundred this year. Twenty
Speaker 1: home runs post to twenty stolen basis. I think there
Speaker 1: is a next step in terms of this speed. I
Speaker 1: think he can get stolen basis and we've seen this before.
Speaker 1: When it comes to stolen basis in fantasy and then
Speaker 1: a real life perspective as well. A lot of it
Speaker 1: is just what is your motive Because a lot of
Speaker 1: the guys are talented enough to do it, they're fast
Speaker 1: enough to do it. It's just do they have the
Speaker 1: green light? Do they always want to run when they're
Speaker 1: on the base pass? A lot of it is motivation
Speaker 1: dependent here, uh for stolen basis, And I think Ozzie
Speaker 1: Albis is fast enough and he has enough talent. It's
Speaker 1: just a matter of does he want to steal more basis?
Speaker 1: So that's something that potentially he could give you. But
Speaker 1: if you're just modestly projecting, I think you know, coming
Speaker 1: close to with eight plus r b I S a
Speaker 1: hundred plus run scored with a good batting average is
Speaker 1: what you can expect out of Ozzy Albi's this upcoming season, alright, GREGT.
Speaker 1: So there's a bunch of different directions that you can
Speaker 1: go in in the third round here, And I've stressed
Speaker 1: starting pitching over and over again when it comes to
Speaker 1: a head to head points lead, I'm gonna pass on
Speaker 1: a picture and I'll tell you why in a second.
Speaker 1: And I think you can get someone here like Austin
Speaker 1: man knows of the Tampa Bay Rays, who another player
Speaker 1: similar to Ozzie Albis greg where we expect him to
Speaker 1: take that next step. We all saw the breakout last
Speaker 1: year over thirty home runs, good batting average, should hit
Speaker 1: a ton of doubles, handle himself both against left handed
Speaker 1: and right handed pitching. The reason why you would pass
Speaker 1: on a starting pitcher here in the third round is,
Speaker 1: I'll tell you after the break. Austin Meadows is who
Speaker 1: you should be targeting if you want to hit her
Speaker 1: in the third round. Again, I don't worry about playing time.
Speaker 1: I know a lot of people might worry about that
Speaker 1: when it comes to the Tampa Bay Rays, but he's
Speaker 1: the one person who I don't really worry about him
Speaker 1: and probably William Domas have the safest playing at time.
Speaker 1: When it comes to Tampa Bay. There's gonna be platoons
Speaker 1: everywhere else. Vanni Margo, Kevin kier Meyer, Jose Martinez, Yo
Speaker 1: Ci Suits tou Goo. Austin Meadows is someone who's going
Speaker 1: to be in the lineup every single day, and he's
Speaker 1: who He's the hitter I would be targeting here in
Speaker 1: the third driver. I think make sense you little bee
Speaker 1: a little bit power. We'll wrap up today's white board
Speaker 1: series and send yo home when we come back to

Speaker 1: got an interesting and it's okay, Frank, we do that.
Speaker 1: Whatever your heart desires. Great, Maybe Francisco Lindoor will be there.
Speaker 1: Pick nine. Well, my goal is that he's not there. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he's probably not. That's what what's whine flare like? I
Speaker 1: thought there was a clear um top eight. I think
Speaker 1: it's seven. I think that some people are going to
Speaker 1: make the argument for trade Turner or Trevor story over Lindor.
Speaker 1: I personally wouldn't I do like lind Or off the board. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: so I agree, I do have it ranked Lindoor story Turner.
Speaker 1: But there are people in Rhodo who are going to
Speaker 1: put an emphasis on Stone basis and are gonna take
Speaker 1: Trade Turner as the eighth player off the board. I'm
Speaker 1: not one of those people, but I think it more
Speaker 1: so starts after seven. I think it's a very clear
Speaker 1: top five hitters, but obviously Trout, Akuna, yellowch Bellinger, BET's,
Speaker 1: and then there's a clear top two starting pitchers with
Speaker 1: the Gram and Cole. I think that's kind of where
Speaker 1: we've settled then, and then for me it's Lindora's next
Speaker 1: at eight, and then nine is where it's kind of interesting,
Speaker 1: right because like you, like you said, you have the
Speaker 1: Trevor story there, Um, you know, trade Turner there. I
Speaker 1: think you have one Sodo there as well. Let's bring
Speaker 1: a picture of the board and Walker, Buehler and Mestres are. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I think that's that's all fair, and those are gonna
Speaker 1: be options that people start to look into now because
Speaker 1: with another injury to Justin Verlander, you know, all this
Speaker 1: does is it's going to put more weight on starting
Speaker 1: pitchers moving up early, whether it's Bueller, Scherzer moving more
Speaker 1: so into the first round, higher up the first round,
Speaker 1: or even guys like Beamer moving up Flaherty, and it's
Speaker 1: gonna have a ripple effect all the way down the board,
Speaker 1: Chris Paddock. More in all these guys, we're gonna see
Speaker 1: starts to move higher up in the fourth round, maybe
Speaker 1: even into the third round as well. But I did
Speaker 1: leave you with a little bit of a tease before
Speaker 1: the break on why I would take Austin Meadows and
Speaker 1: a head to head points leak. We'll get to that
Speaker 1: too in a second here, Greg, because it still does
Speaker 1: a little everything. He does a little bit of everything.
Speaker 1: Great play doesn't win obviously with Austin Meadows doesn't strike
Speaker 1: out all that much either. I'm feeling generous, so I'm
Speaker 1: gonna let's extend this a little bit. Let's go fourth
Speaker 1: and fifth round as well. Can we just pop on
Speaker 1: that for a second before before you continue on, Like
Speaker 1: I think Azzi aldis what makes him so good is
Speaker 1: going in the third round. You know what, Meadows are
Speaker 1: a little bit everything, yet a little more speed out
Speaker 1: of Aussi Albe's in an amazing lineup out there in Atlanta,
Speaker 1: And I was talking to during the break about like, Hey,
Speaker 1: that's the when we go after because it's tough to
Speaker 1: find speed and tough to find these guys. We did
Speaker 1: a whole show on to about find these players. It's
Speaker 1: not not that many of them. Azzi Albis really does
Speaker 1: fit that category. And in a roadal league, he was
Speaker 1: really really good last year twenty four homers, fifteen steels
Speaker 1: like okay batting average. He does everything across the board,
Speaker 1: over runs, scored. I light that pick at three, yeah,
Speaker 1: and second base, Greg, stay with me. Stinks not a
Speaker 1: good position. And look at how you set yourself up
Speaker 1: here from an offensive perspective. Right, if you're in the
Speaker 1: middle of the draft and you start with Mookie Bets
Speaker 1: and Ozzie Albi's, you don't have to stress any category
Speaker 1: for a while because you've set yourself up across the board.
Speaker 1: Maybe if you take a Mookie Bets and and Azzie Albies,
Speaker 1: you'll look more for power in those middle rounds. But
Speaker 1: ultimately I think that you're in a really good position
Speaker 1: either way. With Cody Bellinger and Ozzie Albie's probably works
Speaker 1: out better that way, Greg, that's why you should take
Speaker 1: Cody Bellinger over Mookie Betts, all right, But in the
Speaker 1: fourth round here, and this is something I've typically leaned
Speaker 1: on for a couple of years. I like to have
Speaker 1: two starting pitchers by the first four media. I'll stretch
Speaker 1: it to the first five rounds of the draft, but
Speaker 1: typically I want two of my top twenties starting pitchers.
Speaker 1: And if that's the case, you do have to target
Speaker 1: someone here in the fourth round. And you know someone
Speaker 1: who I do have ranked inside my top tennis here,
Speaker 1: Greg can say it with me, Charlie Moore in the
Speaker 1: old Man, Greg, I mean off a career year with
Speaker 1: the Tampa Bay Rays in its season with the juice ball,
Speaker 1: pitching in the American League East against the Yankees, Red
Speaker 1: Sox and everyone else in that division. Charlie Morton was
Speaker 1: better than ever and managed to stay healthy for right
Speaker 1: around two under any's just like one. I believe last season.
Speaker 1: Strikeouts are still there. The command got better for Charlie
Speaker 1: Morton last year. One of the best curveballs in the game.
Speaker 1: I have no worries when it comes to Charlie Morton,
Speaker 1: and that is the reason little little that you talk
Speaker 1: about you have no worries Charlie Morton all as well.
Speaker 1: Are you concerned at all that Charlie Morton age wise
Speaker 1: Frank is thirty six years old? Well, does that mean
Speaker 1: that you have completely you know, taking guys like Max
Speaker 1: Sures are off your draft boarders six years old? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure he is. Greg. It seems like something
Speaker 1: that's not Za Granky, completely off your board, Gregg. Charlie
Speaker 1: Moore is completely off my board. I didn't say that.
Speaker 1: All I asked is you're concerned that he's thirty six
Speaker 1: years old personally? No. I mean if you wanted to
Speaker 1: take someone last five alright, well mid thirties, Greg, But
Speaker 1: with someone like Chris Pattick, who's also going in this range,
Speaker 1: how many endings is he gonna throw? One? Eighties? So
Speaker 1: you have concern there. Clayton Kershaw has the concern of
Speaker 1: eight back the past couple of seasons. So everyone in
Speaker 1: this range kind of has their own concerns. Patrick Corbin,
Speaker 1: it's deep into the postseason. Last year is coming off
Speaker 1: the season with a ton of endings. Luise Casteel is
Speaker 1: the is the command for Luise Castile going to rear
Speaker 1: its ugly heads. So I think you kind of nitpick
Speaker 1: for all the starting pitchers in the springes, Greg me,
Speaker 1: the skills, the underlying numbers are Charlie Morton are what
Speaker 1: really stood out. The sween strike rate and you know,
Speaker 1: the first pitch strike percentage and all the underlying the
Speaker 1: r A estimators, the Sierra, the X fit, everything there
Speaker 1: for Charlie Morton. So pretty damn good. Yeah, you know,
Speaker 1: you look at Morton's numbers. What's cool about him? He's
Speaker 1: even in the late thirty he's gotten better every single year.
Speaker 1: You obviously had a lot of injury problems earlier his career.
Speaker 1: He was a top prospect for the Braves. At one
Speaker 1: point the race series kind of got into him and
Speaker 1: it eventually worked. He pulled it out of him. And
Speaker 1: now in two years of the Astros and he here
Speaker 1: with the Rays fourteen wins, fifteen wins, sixty wins and
Speaker 1: no wins or lucky whatnot. Beginnings one sixty seven one,
Speaker 1: the k rate ten and eight three eleven point one
Speaker 1: walk great last year all the way down to two
Speaker 1: point six four, even like the xfit was the lowest
Speaker 1: that we've seen in you know, three or four years
Speaker 1: now from Charlie Morton, he's gotten better with age, and
Speaker 1: you know, we have seen a lot of players of
Speaker 1: their age be successful, not to stay healthy, but like
Speaker 1: rich Hill came to my was thirty nine years old.
Speaker 1: Way he came back at the majors, he was awesome.
Speaker 1: The only thing I'm a little bit afraid of Charlie
Speaker 1: Morton is risking to pick this early for him. Um,
Speaker 1: but other guys doing that range. You mentioned Chris Paddock,
Speaker 1: Aaron Nola, knows, Synderguard. They all have their awards too.
Speaker 1: He's is certainly a check mark in their column. But
Speaker 1: affecting this is the check Martin Charlie Morton's column. Out
Speaker 1: of all of these players last year, Charlie Morton is
Speaker 1: the best season, every single one of them, the most
Speaker 1: complete season, the fullest season. And it's the biggest question
Speaker 1: is his age. That's something we're willing to look past.
Speaker 1: Obviously for you the answers, yes, yeah, And that's why
Speaker 1: I do have Charlie Morton ranked inside my top ten.
Speaker 1: I love the value of getting on him this year,
Speaker 1: whether it's the fourth sometimes even the fifth rate round
Speaker 1: in a twelve team league. You've seen Charlie Morton, so
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go, you know, with Charlie Morton on the
Speaker 1: other side as well, And that was kind of the
Speaker 1: tease earlier. Greg, is you know, if you want to
Speaker 1: take someone like Luis Castillo in the third round or
Speaker 1: Clayton Kershaw, you just preferred that player over Charlie Morton,
Speaker 1: and sure, take them in the third round. But to me,
Speaker 1: Morton is not dissimilar from someone like that and you
Speaker 1: can get him around later. So if I can get
Speaker 1: a better hitter who's available in Austin Meadows, because I
Speaker 1: don't think he's going to be there in the fourth round,
Speaker 1: then I'll take him in the third Charlie Morton in
Speaker 1: the fourth because according to ADP, he is definitely going
Speaker 1: to be there in the fourth round, whereas you know,
Speaker 1: someone like Clayton Kershaw, Luis Castillo, they might not be
Speaker 1: there in the fourth round. And I think they're similar
Speaker 1: players and I think you can get similar production. So
Speaker 1: I don't have any worries when it comes to Charlie
Speaker 1: Morton here on the head to head point side, going
Speaker 1: back to Rhodo mentioned, I'll fill out the first five
Speaker 1: rounds for you and Greg two active targets of mine
Speaker 1: this upcoming season. Juan Moncada were Manning Machado, and I
Speaker 1: love the value that you can get those guys right
Speaker 1: now in the fifth round range. Manny Machado just going
Speaker 1: this late. It's it just sounds weird. Last year borderline
Speaker 1: first round pick disappointed his first season with San Diego Padres.
Speaker 1: He's gonna give you shortstop eligibility, shortstop and third base.
Speaker 1: He has dual position eligibility. And you see, you know,
Speaker 1: you just set yourself up nicely, nicely here in terms
Speaker 1: of versatility because you have a first basement slash outfielder
Speaker 1: and bellinger, you have the second baseman. You don't have
Speaker 1: to worry about that crap position anymore. And then Manny
Speaker 1: Machado you can play at shortstop and third and that
Speaker 1: allows you to take whatever you think is a better
Speaker 1: steal later. So if you think there's a better third
Speaker 1: baseman left, you can move Machado to shortstop. If you
Speaker 1: think there's a better shortstop available that you want to
Speaker 1: take him, and move Manny Machado to third base. So
Speaker 1: it allows you some flexibility in your draft. I do
Speaker 1: think that he's gonna bounce back, not really expecting much
Speaker 1: speed this year, Greg, but seven eight steals to seventy
Speaker 1: five home runs. We have no idea. You gotta manager
Speaker 1: Jingler is yeah, we don't know if jas Tingler is
Speaker 1: gonna let these guys run. But um, either way, I
Speaker 1: think you're probably gonna like five to tentionle On Basis
Speaker 1: at Manni Machado, which is fine. I'm not really drafting
Speaker 1: him for speed. I want him for the power. I
Speaker 1: think thirty five home runs good RBI is good runs
Speaker 1: as well, are all reasons why I like getting him
Speaker 1: in this fifth round range. So I know you love
Speaker 1: Mani Chado, So there's a lot of Mani Machado in
Speaker 1: this spot in the fifth round. I think it's a
Speaker 1: tremendous value. You always want to find guys that have
Speaker 1: the ability to you jump Browns in the fifth round.
Speaker 1: Getting any Machado, that's the type of player that you're getting. You.
Speaker 1: Aman is another one that's right there that very much
Speaker 1: could break into that mold, break into being a second
Speaker 1: three round pick next year. He's got the prospect of
Speaker 1: pedigree as well. I like both of them. On the
Speaker 1: other side, here twelve team head to head points league,
Speaker 1: you set yourself up well, so far you have two hitters,
Speaker 1: you have two starting pitchers as well. Let's triple down
Speaker 1: on starting pture take three starting pitchers in your first
Speaker 1: five rounds. Again, there is an emphasis on starting pitching
Speaker 1: here in the Head to Head Points League. And Greig,
Speaker 1: you know what, We'll take a pick for you and
Speaker 1: we'll go with Thoor. Noah Sindergard, who's so far does
Speaker 1: not have a walk this preseason in spring training, uh,
Speaker 1: you know throughout as we ramp up for the regular
Speaker 1: season in the spring, no Syndergard. Believe it's like nine
Speaker 1: or nine, ten, eleven strikeouts, zero walks. The command has
Speaker 1: been there for him. Those are um, I think there's
Speaker 1: lots to like about Syndergard obviously, you know, if you
Speaker 1: like someone like Aaron Nola. More still available is that
Speaker 1: Granky who randomly perennially undervalued for a fantasy perspective. He
Speaker 1: was like a top seven starting pitcher in both head
Speaker 1: to head points and RHODO last year. So I don't
Speaker 1: mind Synderguard, Nola Granky. And you have your top three
Speaker 1: starting pitchers in most head to head points league, you
Speaker 1: either start five or six, so then you can kind
Speaker 1: of you know, you can take some upside with your
Speaker 1: four year start of four, five and six, or you know,
Speaker 1: you can just kind of play the matchups, play to
Speaker 1: star pitchers as well, but you do have that core
Speaker 1: the top three starting pitchers. I usually want in a
Speaker 1: head to head points league three of my top five, Greg,
Speaker 1: I really want to have reliable players at this position,
Speaker 1: and obviously have you have two really good anchors in
Speaker 1: terms of your hitters as well, So you go, Greg,
Speaker 1: normally only go three on each side. Have you really
Speaker 1: banging the drum of the mets here, huh, let's go
Speaker 1: Mets do do do? Yeah, Yeah, it's Graham and Zinda. God,
Speaker 1: that's the exact whel are the ex met Steven Matt's late. Yeah,
Speaker 1: thank get behind that. Zack would burn me last year. Greg,
Speaker 1: he's out hit to like that. Frank, we're done. We're
Speaker 1: done with Zach Wheeler. We're back. One might say he's
Speaker 1: not an active target of mind this Sea rank number
Speaker 1: six pick nice job. Someone would say it was easy,
Speaker 1: indeed right, you'll do to take number nine tomorrow. That's
Speaker 1: on the order, sir, Frank Stanville, I am Grank sauceman.
Speaker 1: We're all coast coaches up next next to Shaun and
Speaker 1: Alex downstairs for all of their help. Have a wonderful
Speaker 1: evening and enjoy the rest of your night. Will be
Speaker 1: back here tomorrow, we hope. I want to be the
