1
00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:03,920
Speaker 1: Good morning, good afternoon, and good evening everyone. Regardless of

2
00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:06,360
Speaker 1: when you've decided to hit play, we thank you for

Speaker 1: doing so. Whether you're a Marlins fan, a baseball fan,

4
00:00:09,720 --> 00:00:11,720
Speaker 1: or just someone who likes to talk about prospects as

5
00:00:11,800 --> 00:00:14,800
Speaker 1: much as we do, you have absolutely arrived at the

6
00:00:14,840 --> 00:00:18,119
Speaker 1: right spot. My name is Danny Martinez, and as always

7
00:00:18,160 --> 00:00:20,680
Speaker 1: I am joined by the amazing Ian Smith and the

8
00:00:20,760 --> 00:00:26,759
Speaker 1: fantastic Ethan Padowski, and this is earning their stripes. Welcome

9
00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:28,800
Speaker 1: back for episode number two, and man, do we have

10
00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:30,960
Speaker 1: a good one for you today. A weekly recap of

11
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:33,640
Speaker 1: the Marlins farm system, including some news you may have

12
00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:37,000
Speaker 1: not gotten to yet, some Baseball America trivia. We'll test

13
00:00:37,040 --> 00:00:39,640
Speaker 1: out our own knowledge on the prospects as well as yours,

14
00:00:40,120 --> 00:00:43,200
Speaker 1: and the introduction of two new segments. Will start off

15
00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:45,720
Speaker 1: with a get to know us segment, because here we

16
00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:48,400
Speaker 1: believe that this relationship is going to work. You have

17
00:00:48,479 --> 00:00:50,960
Speaker 1: to know a little bit about about us. And second,

18
00:00:51,080 --> 00:00:54,440
Speaker 1: Ian Smith's weekly segment on a top pitching and position

19
00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:57,560
Speaker 1: prospect for that week within the Marlin's farm system. We'll

20
00:00:57,560 --> 00:01:00,520
Speaker 1: see if Ethan and I agree with his choices. So,

21
00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:04,040
Speaker 1: without further ado, let's jump right into our first spot

22
00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:07,400
Speaker 1: here with getting to know us. I think we'll start

23
00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:10,960
Speaker 1: off with Ian brother, tell us a little bit about yourself,

24
00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:13,560
Speaker 1: maybe your role within Fish Stripes and in baseball, and

25
00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:15,800
Speaker 1: maybe a little bit about your life outside the game

26
00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:16,199
Speaker 1: as well.

27
00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:18,840
Speaker 2: Oh god, well, nice to be here again. I mean,

28
00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:22,720
Speaker 2: I'm stoked to be back with you guys again this afternoon. Well,

29
00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:25,959
Speaker 2: as you know, I'm Ian Smith. I'm a league reporter

30
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:29,360
Speaker 2: at Fish Stripes and I'm just kind of a prospect nerd.

31
00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:32,319
Speaker 2: This is what I'd like to do any free time

32
00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:35,319
Speaker 2: I have. In my non free time, I'm a full

33
00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:38,440
Speaker 2: time pitmaster here in Rivarre County at a local barbecue spot.

34
00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:40,840
Speaker 2: So if you're ever in the area and looking for

35
00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:42,880
Speaker 2: the best brisket in Florida, you know where to come.

36
00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:46,760
Speaker 2: I like the plug, you know, God dude, it's Pride

37
00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:49,880
Speaker 2: Mean's Barbecue and Cocoa Village open a second location right

38
00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:53,960
Speaker 2: now in downtown Melbourne. But besides all that talk about baseball,

39
00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:58,240
Speaker 2: excuse me off topic real quick. Victor Victor Masa just

40
00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:03,040
Speaker 2: got his first hit in professional baseball. Nice, that's nice

41
00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:06,120
Speaker 2: to see. And within further ado though, I'm gonna pass

42
00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:06,880
Speaker 2: this over to Danny.

43
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:10,799
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'll tell you what. My life's pretty simple. It's

44
00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:13,560
Speaker 1: baseball and it's clinical psychology. So that's that's I'm a

45
00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:15,960
Speaker 1: very academic guy, I guess you could say outside of

46
00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:18,200
Speaker 1: the game and then in the game. It's just something

47
00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:20,640
Speaker 1: I've always been around of, whether it's t ball, whether

48
00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:23,360
Speaker 1: it's coaching, whether it's like convincing my wife to go

49
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:27,920
Speaker 1: out on a Saturday and playing catch. Baseball is a

50
00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:30,440
Speaker 1: love for me. I'm the I'm a lead writer for

51
00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:34,680
Speaker 1: Fish Stripes as well. Have loved what the companies started

52
00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:36,960
Speaker 1: to do and the fact that the Marlin's communications is

53
00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:40,480
Speaker 1: just top notch with it. But honestly, I'm just excited

54
00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:42,680
Speaker 1: to be another prospect nerd like you guys and really

55
00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:44,400
Speaker 1: get to dive into this podcast.

56
00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:46,600
Speaker 2: Yeah.

57
00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:50,120
Speaker 3: I never really was that involved with the whole prospect

58
00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:54,800
Speaker 3: thing until this rebuild really started when Jeter came in

59
00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:57,079
Speaker 3: and a lot of the guys that I interacted with

60
00:02:57,120 --> 00:02:59,760
Speaker 3: on Twitter knew a bunch about the prospects, and I

61
00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:04,280
Speaker 3: just started getting into it, like last summer the summer before,

62
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:07,560
Speaker 3: just reading about it, learning about the guys in the

63
00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:10,360
Speaker 3: Marlins system, the important guys, and then obviously with all

64
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:14,000
Speaker 3: the trades that we made, learning about them and and

65
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:16,880
Speaker 3: and seeing where the future was headed. And uh, that

66
00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:20,560
Speaker 3: led me to fish Stripes. Eli brought me on. And

67
00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:23,520
Speaker 3: you know, I have my things we love to see,

68
00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:25,400
Speaker 3: which will be starting back up soon.

69
00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:26,000
Speaker 4: Uh.

70
00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:29,200
Speaker 3: I think I'm gonna give us a full week of

71
00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:32,520
Speaker 3: a season before. But I mean, like you saidie and

72
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:35,200
Speaker 3: a thing we love to see right now. Devers and

73
00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:38,200
Speaker 3: Mesa both got hits to start the game at Jupiter tonight,

74
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:42,800
Speaker 3: So man, you know, just I love. I've been a

75
00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:44,880
Speaker 3: baseball nerd my entire life. I mean, I grew up

76
00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:48,520
Speaker 3: in a baseball family surrounded by not just the Marlins,

77
00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:50,800
Speaker 3: but the Cubs of the Giants. For those of you

78
00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:53,680
Speaker 3: close to me know, I have love for all three

79
00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:56,960
Speaker 3: of those teams. But Baseball's my life, UF is my life.

80
00:03:56,960 --> 00:04:00,560
Speaker 3: I'm a student here, I ride with the game wherever

81
00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:05,640
Speaker 3: I go. I'm a huge football fan, and all things considered, well, yeah,

82
00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:08,280
Speaker 3: I'm just excited to be here talking about prospects, giving

83
00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:12,440
Speaker 3: them the attention that they deserve because sometimes they don't.

84
00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:14,480
Speaker 3: And I think it's good for people to know what

85
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:17,839
Speaker 3: the Marlins are building, and I think we'll be here

86
00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:19,720
Speaker 3: to give them more of an understanding of just how

87
00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:22,360
Speaker 3: good of a foundation they're building right now.

88
00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:25,240
Speaker 1: Absolutely, and I think that's the key, is that if

89
00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:27,840
Speaker 1: there's ever going to be a time as a Marlins

90
00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:29,560
Speaker 1: fan or just as a baseball fan, that you're going

91
00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:31,320
Speaker 1: to start being interested in prospects.

92
00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:32,440
Speaker 5: That I mean, it's right now.

93
00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:35,080
Speaker 1: You know, we made the joke that if the pro

94
00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:36,960
Speaker 1: level is not where it needs to be, the major

95
00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:38,599
Speaker 1: league levels not where it needs to be, at least

96
00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:41,839
Speaker 1: every day you can see a future possible star in

97
00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:45,719
Speaker 1: the Marlin system, which I can't even pretend to remember

98
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:47,280
Speaker 1: the last time that that was the case probably when

99
00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:50,400
Speaker 1: Yelich and Jose you know, we're prospects. And before I

100
00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:53,359
Speaker 1: give it to Ian really quickly, let me just clarify.

101
00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:56,200
Speaker 1: So we have a Gator on the podcast, and we

102
00:04:56,279 --> 00:04:58,720
Speaker 1: have a Hurricane and me on the podcast.

103
00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:00,160
Speaker 6: What do is?

104
00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:02,840
Speaker 5: What is Ian over here? What do you? What do

105
00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:04,080
Speaker 5: you call yourself?

106
00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:06,080
Speaker 4: I'm definitely claiming the Gators.

107
00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:11,239
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, this is just spend my full four years

108
00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:14,240
Speaker 2: in Gainesville like I wanted to. But I'm claiming the

109
00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:17,680
Speaker 2: Gators I had since I was six years old, So absolutely.

110
00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:20,680
Speaker 6: To me, I guess twenty fourth is gonna be a

111
00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:23,120
Speaker 6: lot of fun for US. Ian, A lot of fun

112
00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:23,640
Speaker 6: for UH.

113
00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:26,760
Speaker 4: Would definitely be in Orlando.

114
00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:32,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, wish, Yeah, it's gonna that. That podcast after that

115
00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:34,279
Speaker 3: game is gonna be a lot more fun for us

116
00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:34,839
Speaker 3: than it is.

117
00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:35,240
Speaker 2: Dan.

118
00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:41,360
Speaker 4: It's gonna be a good one. I'm ready.

119
00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:42,800
Speaker 5: I love it. I love it, I love it.

120
00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:43,200
Speaker 6: All right?

121
00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:43,640
Speaker 5: All right?

122
00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:46,560
Speaker 1: So then, Ian, you you hit lead off for us BRO,

123
00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:49,000
Speaker 1: what did you see this last week that got you

124
00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:50,240
Speaker 1: excited in the farm system?

125
00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:52,920
Speaker 2: I mean, the guy had talked about last week even

126
00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:55,839
Speaker 2: and we're gonna start with this week, Zach Allen, Yeah,

127
00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:58,960
Speaker 2: I mean, I don't know what else to say. Seven endings,

128
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:03,360
Speaker 2: eleven k's hits, no walks, against five guys that you

129
00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:06,320
Speaker 2: would likely see in the Astros lineup before twenty nineteen's over.

130
00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:10,440
Speaker 2: He was dominant. He showed everything you'd like to see

131
00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:13,320
Speaker 2: out of a starting guy. And what we saw in

132
00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:15,560
Speaker 2: the Enna spring training when he threw five innings with

133
00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:17,880
Speaker 2: seven k is against pretty much the opening day line

134
00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:20,720
Speaker 2: up for the Cardinals. This was a great or a

135
00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:23,039
Speaker 2: great follow up to that and a great start to

136
00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:25,920
Speaker 2: his twenty nineteen and I couldn't even more excited to

137
00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:27,880
Speaker 2: see what he's gonna do with this season and how

138
00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:30,039
Speaker 2: early we're going to see him in this rotation in Miami.

139
00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:35,280
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think no, no, go ahead.

140
00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:36,599
Speaker 1: Actually, I mean I was just gonna say that you

141
00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:38,839
Speaker 1: and you and I were talking about that before Ethan, right, like,

142
00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:40,720
Speaker 1: he's going to be the first guy that gets called

143
00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:42,640
Speaker 1: up unless they pull something funky with Chen.

144
00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:44,280
Speaker 6: Well, I hope so.

145
00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:46,240
Speaker 3: But the thing that gives me hope for that is

146
00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:49,040
Speaker 3: that they started the year with the young guys. You know,

147
00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:52,400
Speaker 3: they didn't turn to Chen, they got rid of Australia. So

148
00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:54,600
Speaker 3: the fact that they're all in on the young guys

149
00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:57,840
Speaker 3: suggests to me that if something happens to Rainio or

150
00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:00,120
Speaker 3: if one of the other guys gets heard and you know,

151
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:02,440
Speaker 3: maybe they want to go in a different direction from Urania,

152
00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:06,359
Speaker 3: if the way he starts, can he started so far continues,

153
00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:10,480
Speaker 3: I think their willingness to go with the young guys

154
00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:13,680
Speaker 3: over the age and the experience and just kind of

155
00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:17,440
Speaker 3: ride with the Kings this year suggests to me that

156
00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:20,280
Speaker 3: Gallen would be the first guy to replace anything that

157
00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:23,080
Speaker 3: goes wrong with the rotation, which is, you know, it's

158
00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:25,280
Speaker 3: bound to happen over the course of one hundred and

159
00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:26,200
Speaker 3: sixty two games.

160
00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:27,880
Speaker 6: I hope that's the case.

161
00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:30,040
Speaker 3: It might not be at this point in the year

162
00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:32,160
Speaker 3: because it's still so early, you know, if something were

163
00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:34,400
Speaker 3: to go wrong in the next month or two. But

164
00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:37,720
Speaker 3: I mean we saw Pablo Lopez come up in July

165
00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:41,320
Speaker 3: in an emergency starting last year, and he was up

166
00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:43,040
Speaker 3: there for the rest of the year because he was

167
00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:45,679
Speaker 3: so solid. So I think something like that could happen

168
00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:49,600
Speaker 3: with Gallen. But I definitely think he's here before a

169
00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:53,720
Speaker 3: Nier or you know, one of the other guys in

170
00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:57,960
Speaker 3: New Orleans. Right now, I think he's definitely next.

171
00:07:57,960 --> 00:08:00,600
Speaker 1: Right, And I mean for those that might say, you know, guy, relax,

172
00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:03,840
Speaker 1: it was just one start, you know, let's not get

173
00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:05,440
Speaker 1: hell bent over this. I mean he had a good

174
00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:09,240
Speaker 1: spring too. Yeahah, nine innings, what was it like, twelve

175
00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:13,160
Speaker 1: thirteen strikeouts to one walk. Yeah, I mean, you know,

176
00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:15,640
Speaker 1: that's that's someone that you could see. And his last

177
00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:17,880
Speaker 1: start was against basically the opening day was at the

178
00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:21,440
Speaker 1: Cardinals against the opening day Cardinals lineup. So that's someone

179
00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:24,480
Speaker 1: that I think you have a lot of confidence in, yeah,

180
00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:28,320
Speaker 1: being at Martin Park, being able to handle himself.

181
00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:29,000
Speaker 4: All right.

182
00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:32,240
Speaker 2: Absolutely. I mean, like talking about Pablo Lopez last year.

183
00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:34,760
Speaker 2: He came up strictly from from Double A. He had

184
00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:37,200
Speaker 2: no Triple A experience before that has yet to have

185
00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:40,280
Speaker 2: seen Triple A yet. So yeah, I mean Zach Allen's

186
00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:42,640
Speaker 2: I mean, has the talent and the ability to do

187
00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:44,920
Speaker 2: what Pablo did last year and with a little bit

188
00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:45,560
Speaker 2: more experience.

189
00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:48,600
Speaker 3: And then the other thing, like you were saying, Danny, like, yeah,

190
00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:52,000
Speaker 3: it's just one start, but uh, Gallon had one hundred

191
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:54,480
Speaker 3: and thirty six strikeouts last year and he had eleven

192
00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:58,160
Speaker 3: uh in his first game, So he had like, you know,

193
00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:01,760
Speaker 3: almost ten percent of his strikeout numbers from last year

194
00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:03,880
Speaker 3: in his first start. And like you said, he had

195
00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:07,319
Speaker 3: thirteen strikeouts in nine innings, which for the spring sounds

196
00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:11,240
Speaker 3: about like what like two or three starts. Uh So yeah,

197
00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:13,599
Speaker 3: that's those are really good strikeout numbers for him. And

198
00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:15,720
Speaker 3: if we continue to see the strikeouts feel up and

199
00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:16,280
Speaker 3: up from him.

200
00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:17,839
Speaker 2: And he was.

201
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:21,520
Speaker 3: Touching like higher speeds than we've seen from him originally.

202
00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:24,560
Speaker 3: I can't remember was he touching ninety five or was

203
00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:26,880
Speaker 3: I know Rogers was definitely touching ninety five, but I

204
00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:29,760
Speaker 3: can't remember he was also, But you know, the velocity

205
00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:32,520
Speaker 3: seems to be up in the strikeout numbers hopefully stay

206
00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:35,600
Speaker 3: up as well. So if that continues and it's not

207
00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:39,400
Speaker 3: just a one start thing, you know, and I think

208
00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:41,160
Speaker 3: we'll be we'll definitely see him at.

209
00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:41,800
Speaker 6: Some point this year.

210
00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:45,040
Speaker 3: I mean there's no doubt, whether it's in September or whatever, like,

211
00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:47,520
Speaker 3: he'll be in the majors at some point in the year.

212
00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:50,960
Speaker 1: Absolutely, Yeah, And I think and I think, just to

213
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:52,920
Speaker 1: like validate what you said, I think it was him

214
00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:55,240
Speaker 1: who had the uptick as well in velocity. I think

215
00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:57,640
Speaker 1: he was hitting ninety four ninety five, which we'd necessarily

216
00:09:57,720 --> 00:10:01,000
Speaker 1: hadn't seen before. And then I'll just say one more

217
00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:02,960
Speaker 1: thing on Gallon, at least on my end, you know,

218
00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:06,360
Speaker 1: people look at him and he's just not that exciting

219
00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:10,120
Speaker 1: pitching prospect, yea. So people overlook him and then they see,

220
00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:12,280
Speaker 1: you know, the first thing is, oh, well we traded

221
00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:14,440
Speaker 1: it was doing it basically for Sandy, and all the

222
00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:16,880
Speaker 1: secondaries were so and so, and then they give him

223
00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:19,959
Speaker 1: at Sierra, right, And I get that, but there are

224
00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:23,800
Speaker 1: some sites that actually do love Gallon eight baseball, which

225
00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:26,120
Speaker 1: is fantastic, right, Like, you know, I will always enduse

226
00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:28,800
Speaker 1: Baseball America and twenty eighty Baseball. Those are my go

227
00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:31,800
Speaker 1: tos Zach Gallon is seventh, you know, I mean it's

228
00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:36,840
Speaker 1: it's not seventh overall. That's not necessarily that everyone's overlooking him.

229
00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:39,200
Speaker 1: There are scouts and there are people that see what

230
00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:43,120
Speaker 1: he is now showing in this spring and in his

231
00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:43,640
Speaker 1: first start.

232
00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:46,920
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, I know, it was exciting.

233
00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:49,920
Speaker 3: Another thing that's really exciting on the offensive side of

234
00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:51,320
Speaker 3: the wall, and this was the one I was going

235
00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:55,360
Speaker 3: to bring up was Gerar and Carnacion in Clinton. I

236
00:10:55,520 --> 00:10:59,560
Speaker 3: like briefly mentioned him on the last podcast because he

237
00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:03,320
Speaker 3: had some good numbers from past years in the Marlin system.

238
00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:07,120
Speaker 3: But he is off to a blazing start. I mean,

239
00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:10,960
Speaker 3: obviously the the average is inflated because it's been four games,

240
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:14,199
Speaker 3: but he's hitting five seventy one, his on base percentage

241
00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:17,160
Speaker 3: is six sixty seven, and he's slugging six forty three.

242
00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:20,760
Speaker 6: So he's been crushing the ball to start the year.

243
00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:25,760
Speaker 3: He's got eight hits, he's driven in three, he's taken

244
00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:27,880
Speaker 3: three walks. I mean, he's he's looking really good to

245
00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:29,560
Speaker 3: start the year. And that's just one of those guys

246
00:11:29,559 --> 00:11:33,600
Speaker 3: that kind of flies under the radar, you know, within

247
00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:36,560
Speaker 3: the system, and if he can put some nice numbers together,

248
00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:38,640
Speaker 3: he can shoot up through the system this year. I

249
00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:41,439
Speaker 3: think he's a really nice prospect and he's got he's got.

250
00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:41,920
Speaker 6: Some good power.

251
00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:44,640
Speaker 3: It really hasn't shown as much as you would hope,

252
00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:47,560
Speaker 3: you know, in terms of like extra base hits so

253
00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:51,000
Speaker 3: far this year, but that'll that'll happen, you know, as

254
00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:53,720
Speaker 3: the season goes on and things settle in his power

255
00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:57,160
Speaker 3: numbers will increase a little bit. But I like what

256
00:11:57,200 --> 00:11:59,319
Speaker 3: I saw from him this week absolutely.

257
00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:01,880
Speaker 2: I mean else the young came into this year with

258
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:04,559
Speaker 2: some question marks and what he could do in Clinton

259
00:12:04,559 --> 00:12:07,400
Speaker 2: after his kind of abysmal start last year, and when

260
00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:10,319
Speaker 2: he got moved up to Greensboro, and he's done nothing

261
00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:12,200
Speaker 2: but change changed the mind of a lot of people.

262
00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:15,240
Speaker 2: The body type he has six or two hundred and

263
00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:18,760
Speaker 2: twenty pounds all through all the power that you're talking about, Ethan,

264
00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:21,200
Speaker 2: which I expect is going to happen. I think he's

265
00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:25,040
Speaker 2: just sentdling down finally, excuse me, and finding a swing.

266
00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:28,600
Speaker 2: I mean, he was putting up these numbers early in

267
00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:31,400
Speaker 2: the system, but he wasn't working walks already in three

268
00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:33,800
Speaker 2: walks four games in the system or into the year

269
00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:37,040
Speaker 2: is exciting to me. He had nine walks all last

270
00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:39,880
Speaker 2: year across two levels, and if we can continue to

271
00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:42,560
Speaker 2: see the base on base level our numbers go up

272
00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:44,720
Speaker 2: this year, then it's exciting to me.

273
00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:46,360
Speaker 4: If he's putting the bat on the ball like he is.

274
00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:48,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's one thing we have to look for from

275
00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:51,720
Speaker 3: a lot of guys in this system is increased ability

276
00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:55,600
Speaker 3: to draw walks and get on base more. That's something

277
00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:57,520
Speaker 3: we really need. I saw a discussion about it on

278
00:12:57,559 --> 00:13:00,160
Speaker 3: Twitter today, but that was the one thing for in

279
00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:03,320
Speaker 3: Karnossion was his his OVP was not very far off

280
00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:06,120
Speaker 3: from his average, and we need to see more of

281
00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:09,000
Speaker 3: a gap there, and right now it's like ninety points

282
00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:09,560
Speaker 3: high or something.

283
00:13:09,640 --> 00:13:11,920
Speaker 6: So it's it's a good start. It's a good start.

284
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:15,040
Speaker 3: It's it's nothing to get crazy over. But it's a

285
00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:18,320
Speaker 3: really exciting first four games from in Carnossium. Danny, what

286
00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:19,920
Speaker 3: you got, man, who's your guy?

287
00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:21,400
Speaker 5: I was going to tell you this.

288
00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:23,760
Speaker 1: I was going to say that we absolutely do have

289
00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:26,960
Speaker 1: to table that conversation about walks because seriously, that's that's

290
00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:29,320
Speaker 1: a real thing that's happening in the Marley system. Like

291
00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:32,520
Speaker 1: I don't know if they're going after highly variable prospects,

292
00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:34,120
Speaker 1: but even at the major league level, no one is

293
00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:36,880
Speaker 1: walking yeah, like we are. We actually have an okay

294
00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:39,000
Speaker 1: offense right now if you look at a few different

295
00:13:39,160 --> 00:13:41,160
Speaker 1: if you don't just look at win loss or just

296
00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:44,120
Speaker 1: at average, we're making contact. We're not getting very lucky

297
00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:46,559
Speaker 1: with the contact. We're actually pretty unlucky. But that seems

298
00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:49,839
Speaker 1: to almost trickle down across the affiliates. And I'm not

299
00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:51,520
Speaker 1: sure if it's who they're targeting or whatever the case is,

300
00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:53,920
Speaker 1: but it's a good conversation to have in mind. And

301
00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:56,240
Speaker 1: then all was going to add is that it's crazy

302
00:13:56,320 --> 00:13:58,319
Speaker 1: that hit add in carnossion, because you know, I'll be

303
00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:01,280
Speaker 1: the Cuban and say hit Ad was like right after

304
00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:05,080
Speaker 1: the ninety seven Florida Marlins won the championship. It was

305
00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:07,960
Speaker 1: part in October twenty second, nineteen ninety seven, which crazy

306
00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:12,079
Speaker 1: blows your mind. But again just to say he's young,

307
00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:14,880
Speaker 1: someone that, like Ian said, we saw him struggle when

308
00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:16,600
Speaker 1: he got the promotion last year. But if he starts

309
00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:18,840
Speaker 1: to show that he can take those walks, played discipline

310
00:14:18,920 --> 00:14:20,960
Speaker 1: grows a little bit, he's someone that we could really

311
00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:23,960
Speaker 1: start not counting as under the radar and actually putting

312
00:14:24,040 --> 00:14:24,720
Speaker 1: him on the table.

313
00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:28,240
Speaker 5: As for who I will take, I will.

314
00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:30,920
Speaker 1: Actually take someone that everyone has on the table already.

315
00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:33,120
Speaker 1: But he's just my prospect crush and it just is

316
00:14:33,160 --> 00:14:35,800
Speaker 1: what it is. Isan Dias did a beautiful thing today

317
00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:37,920
Speaker 1: by gifting us a home run right before we started

318
00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:40,720
Speaker 1: this podcast, because then we could talk a little bit

319
00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:43,640
Speaker 1: more about the fact that his OBP right now is

320
00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:46,520
Speaker 1: four twenty one and again small sample size, nothing to

321
00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:47,160
Speaker 1: really look at.

322
00:14:47,160 --> 00:14:47,960
Speaker 5: That's too crazy.

323
00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:50,520
Speaker 1: But I was going to bring that up anyway, because

324
00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:53,240
Speaker 1: he was able to take walks and now I'm able

325
00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:55,000
Speaker 1: to say and he was able to show that power.

326
00:14:55,280 --> 00:14:57,920
Speaker 1: So Ethan, you said that it was what a pitch

327
00:14:58,040 --> 00:15:00,320
Speaker 1: low away took it opposite field.

328
00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:02,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, I looked at the you know, the game day,

329
00:15:02,520 --> 00:15:03,640
Speaker 3: because that's the best we.

330
00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:04,280
Speaker 6: Can do now.

331
00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:07,960
Speaker 3: Uh, but I looked at the game day, the you know,

332
00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:11,840
Speaker 3: the live feed from from the game, and yeah, the

333
00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:14,760
Speaker 3: pitch was low and away bottom left third of the

334
00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:18,240
Speaker 3: you know, for him as a lefty, bottom third of

335
00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:21,120
Speaker 3: the strike zone, took it the opposite way, which is

336
00:15:21,160 --> 00:15:24,120
Speaker 3: something we're really looking from him for from him, Uh,

337
00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:26,480
Speaker 3: he he has he had an APO home run that

338
00:15:26,520 --> 00:15:28,400
Speaker 3: I saw video of from when he was playing with

339
00:15:28,440 --> 00:15:30,800
Speaker 3: Puerto Rico uh in the off season.

340
00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:31,800
Speaker 6: Uh.

341
00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:34,760
Speaker 3: And and I you know, if you can start driving

342
00:15:34,760 --> 00:15:37,320
Speaker 3: the ball to the other field and and working the

343
00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:40,400
Speaker 3: working the other way, uh, he'll just start making more

344
00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:43,680
Speaker 3: contact and that'll open up, you know, more for him.

345
00:15:43,960 --> 00:15:46,720
Speaker 3: It's really important to get these guys to to have

346
00:15:46,760 --> 00:15:50,080
Speaker 3: an approach where they're using the whole field, because you

347
00:15:50,120 --> 00:15:53,200
Speaker 3: know that results will come with that better approach. And

348
00:15:53,240 --> 00:15:55,280
Speaker 3: so far, for him, the results are coming. He's been

349
00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:59,080
Speaker 3: on base a ton. Uh, you know, two walk night

350
00:15:59,120 --> 00:16:01,280
Speaker 3: the other night. He's I think he's trying to walk

351
00:16:01,280 --> 00:16:03,720
Speaker 3: in every game so far. Maybe not today, but obviously

352
00:16:03,720 --> 00:16:06,760
Speaker 3: today have the homers. Fine, but he's off to a

353
00:16:06,840 --> 00:16:08,920
Speaker 3: nice start. But he's got to make more contact. He

354
00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:10,880
Speaker 3: has not made a ton of contact yet this year,

355
00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:14,240
Speaker 3: and he has to. That's the one thing we've needed

356
00:16:14,280 --> 00:16:16,960
Speaker 3: from him. But good, good start, good start. A home

357
00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:18,920
Speaker 3: run in your first four games, then a bunch of

358
00:16:18,920 --> 00:16:19,760
Speaker 3: walks is always good.

359
00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:23,320
Speaker 2: I'm glad you brought up to making contact than Ethan,

360
00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:25,600
Speaker 2: because it was the same thing talking about with a

361
00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:28,920
Speaker 2: sign over the spring. He hit the mammoth homer and

362
00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:30,400
Speaker 2: I think it was the first or second week the

363
00:16:30,400 --> 00:16:33,200
Speaker 2: spring with the beautiful swing, and everybody lost their mind.

364
00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:35,680
Speaker 2: But he didn't do much else after that. He wasn't

365
00:16:35,880 --> 00:16:37,440
Speaker 2: he wasn't getting putting the bat on the ball. He

366
00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:39,880
Speaker 2: wasn't getting on base at any any bit of a

367
00:16:39,880 --> 00:16:42,400
Speaker 2: clip at all. So the walks to see the beginning

368
00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:44,360
Speaker 2: of the year is nice to see. But he's got

369
00:16:44,400 --> 00:16:46,280
Speaker 2: to He's got to hit the ball. I mean, that's

370
00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:48,800
Speaker 2: as simple as that. I mean, he's got the ability

371
00:16:48,840 --> 00:16:51,080
Speaker 2: to do it, he's got the approach, and if he's

372
00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:54,600
Speaker 2: starting to show better discipline to play, he can start

373
00:16:54,600 --> 00:16:57,360
Speaker 2: to drive the ball for twenty or five thirty thirty

374
00:16:57,400 --> 00:17:02,000
Speaker 2: doubles a year, which he's bound to happen. Sorry, and

375
00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:04,560
Speaker 2: go ahead, go ahead, No, no, continue.

376
00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:06,240
Speaker 1: I don't want to put anyone on the spot, but

377
00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:09,879
Speaker 1: everyone always loves to give comps, and especially for a

378
00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:13,560
Speaker 1: player like Isandia's right because his swing is so compatible

379
00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:16,639
Speaker 1: to Robinson Cano or or it's a it's a lefty

380
00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:19,359
Speaker 1: dan Ugly right. What you see in his in his

381
00:17:19,520 --> 00:17:22,640
Speaker 1: minor league like career stats, and you have to take

382
00:17:22,640 --> 00:17:24,560
Speaker 1: that a little bit of grain of salt. He's had injuries,

383
00:17:24,600 --> 00:17:27,360
Speaker 1: he's had hammet issues. It's gone back and forth. He's

384
00:17:27,359 --> 00:17:30,639
Speaker 1: a high OBP guy, right, his approach has been okay,

385
00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:32,840
Speaker 1: and he draws walks. He's a low average guy and

386
00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:36,240
Speaker 1: he's going to give you some power. Does anyone necessarily

387
00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:39,560
Speaker 1: overly disagree with that assessment? Or if we don't, what

388
00:17:39,680 --> 00:17:41,320
Speaker 1: are the comps that we could look at? And I

389
00:17:41,320 --> 00:17:43,280
Speaker 1: mean it's okay, we could still say, hey Cano if

390
00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:45,240
Speaker 1: he really matures him to the way he needs to be.

391
00:17:45,320 --> 00:17:48,280
Speaker 1: But aside from just aesthetics, are there any comps that

392
00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:49,000
Speaker 1: come to mind?

393
00:17:49,359 --> 00:17:52,520
Speaker 3: Just like off a from a sheer numbers standpoint. One

394
00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:55,760
Speaker 3: guy that sticks out to me is Schwarber. Obviously they

395
00:17:55,760 --> 00:17:59,760
Speaker 3: played different positions and have different builds and makeups kind of,

396
00:17:59,800 --> 00:18:01,640
Speaker 3: but I mean Schwarber is always that.

397
00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:02,080
Speaker 6: Kind of guy.

398
00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:03,679
Speaker 3: Like in his career, I mean he had that one

399
00:18:03,760 --> 00:18:06,439
Speaker 3: year where he hit like two hundred, but uh where

400
00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:08,920
Speaker 3: he kind of hits like you can expect him to

401
00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:12,639
Speaker 3: hit around like two forty two fifty, right, OBP is

402
00:18:12,680 --> 00:18:16,640
Speaker 3: going to be up in the three. Uh, And that's

403
00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:19,600
Speaker 3: basically what he saw was last year. And then also

404
00:18:19,760 --> 00:18:21,159
Speaker 3: like Schwarber is going to give you a bunch of

405
00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:24,120
Speaker 3: power and hit thirty home runs a year. And Swarber

406
00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:27,320
Speaker 3: actually today took a pitch. Uh he did what we're

407
00:18:27,359 --> 00:18:29,879
Speaker 3: looking for from his son, and he's been using the

408
00:18:29,920 --> 00:18:32,000
Speaker 3: whole field more. He took he had a home run

409
00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:35,120
Speaker 3: to left field today, And so I think it's kind

410
00:18:35,119 --> 00:18:38,040
Speaker 3: of the same things for Schwarber that we look at

411
00:18:38,080 --> 00:18:39,880
Speaker 3: with he san right, which is he's going to draw

412
00:18:39,920 --> 00:18:42,080
Speaker 3: a bunch of walks and we know that, but it's

413
00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:46,000
Speaker 3: time to work for more power. Uh, work for more contact,

414
00:18:46,040 --> 00:18:49,240
Speaker 3: make more contact, and open the field more and and

415
00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:52,920
Speaker 3: start driving it to other fields. So uh, different kind

416
00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:55,400
Speaker 3: of makeups and players in terms of like the way

417
00:18:55,440 --> 00:18:57,760
Speaker 3: they actually play the game, But from a numbers standpoint

418
00:18:57,760 --> 00:19:00,480
Speaker 3: and from an approach standpoint, I think they're like, that's

419
00:19:00,520 --> 00:19:05,160
Speaker 3: a relatively fair company for Diez just I can't really

420
00:19:05,160 --> 00:19:06,959
Speaker 3: think of a second baseman that kind of puts up

421
00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:07,840
Speaker 3: those kind of numbers.

422
00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:11,040
Speaker 2: You know, Well, if I'm going to recycle a couple

423
00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:12,960
Speaker 2: of comparisons I have for you for a son, I

424
00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:15,920
Speaker 2: actually did an article earlier in the offseason in my four.

425
00:19:15,800 --> 00:19:19,160
Speaker 4: Six three series, and a couple comparisons I use for a.

426
00:19:19,119 --> 00:19:22,560
Speaker 2: Son or Colton Wong and a little bit older player

427
00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:26,200
Speaker 2: in Jose Valentine. Those are both players who are playing

428
00:19:26,280 --> 00:19:30,879
Speaker 2: up the middle with slightly middle of the order batting average,

429
00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:35,000
Speaker 2: with a slightly higher OBP, with some surprising power for

430
00:19:35,040 --> 00:19:38,080
Speaker 2: their body types. That would be my best bet. Projection

431
00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:40,639
Speaker 2: would be somewhere in between Colton Wong and Jose Valentine.

432
00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:43,200
Speaker 2: But if we're going to go with the shoot for

433
00:19:43,240 --> 00:19:47,720
Speaker 2: the Moon route, it's Ian Kinsler for me. Ian Kinsler's

434
00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:52,120
Speaker 2: been a starboard at second base his whole career. He's

435
00:19:52,119 --> 00:19:54,040
Speaker 2: been a top twenty five player at the position for

436
00:19:54,359 --> 00:19:58,040
Speaker 2: as long as you can remember. He's a twenty twenty player,

437
00:19:58,520 --> 00:20:01,440
Speaker 2: All Star selections, Goal clubs. It's a type of career

438
00:20:01,480 --> 00:20:03,159
Speaker 2: Aslam would be proud of if you were to have

439
00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:05,399
Speaker 2: something like that. So if we're going to shoot for

440
00:20:05,480 --> 00:20:07,240
Speaker 2: the Moon, it's going to be Ian Cancer for me

441
00:20:07,320 --> 00:20:07,760
Speaker 2: with a song.

442
00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:09,520
Speaker 6: I like that.

443
00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:12,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely, When you sent that out, I loved it.

444
00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:15,160
Speaker 1: I loved that article because you didn't just look at

445
00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:16,840
Speaker 1: just one comp You gave us a few, and you

446
00:20:16,840 --> 00:20:18,840
Speaker 1: gave us like different eras is what you really did.

447
00:20:19,200 --> 00:20:21,760
Speaker 1: And the Valentine was the one that really stuck with me.

448
00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:23,520
Speaker 1: And I mean, come on, if you look at his

449
00:20:23,840 --> 00:20:28,640
Speaker 1: career slash two forty three, three twenty one, four forty eight,

450
00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:30,240
Speaker 1: and that's when he took a dip later on in

451
00:20:30,320 --> 00:20:33,000
Speaker 1: his in his in his career, and you could see that,

452
00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:35,040
Speaker 1: I mean, I mean you you could see something like

453
00:20:35,080 --> 00:20:37,080
Speaker 1: that from Isan Diaz. Although I agree with you, if

454
00:20:37,080 --> 00:20:39,840
Speaker 1: we get an Ian Kinsler type of career from him,

455
00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:42,440
Speaker 1: then that's just it's over the moon happiness.

456
00:20:42,600 --> 00:20:43,880
Speaker 6: Yeah, for sure. Yeah.

457
00:20:43,920 --> 00:20:46,600
Speaker 2: Even if you look at a San and Valentine's minor

458
00:20:46,680 --> 00:20:49,879
Speaker 2: league stats, a sans slash so far going into this

459
00:20:49,960 --> 00:20:52,600
Speaker 2: year two fifty four, three fifty three and A four

460
00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:55,440
Speaker 2: to forty four with sixty two homers and fifty two

461
00:20:55,440 --> 00:20:59,280
Speaker 2: stone bases hose A Valentine two forty one three twenty

462
00:20:59,280 --> 00:21:02,120
Speaker 2: four forty eight or forty homers and forty five soil

463
00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:05,359
Speaker 2: on bases. I was based in Austin stats at that point,

464
00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:08,399
Speaker 2: but just the comparison that that was surprising to me.

465
00:21:09,800 --> 00:21:13,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, And we're in an age in baseball where the

466
00:21:13,040 --> 00:21:16,040
Speaker 3: walk is more important than ever, and we have a

467
00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:18,399
Speaker 3: lot of guys that have, you know, one hundred point

468
00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:23,720
Speaker 3: more than one hundred point differences between their average and

469
00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:26,159
Speaker 3: their OBP. I mean, I brought it up like his

470
00:21:26,280 --> 00:21:29,399
Speaker 3: numbers in Jacksonville or somewhere in the two forties, and

471
00:21:29,400 --> 00:21:32,640
Speaker 3: then his OBP within like the free sixties. So we're

472
00:21:32,680 --> 00:21:35,720
Speaker 3: in a day and age where that OBP and average

473
00:21:35,720 --> 00:21:38,200
Speaker 3: operation is going to be a lot greater than back

474
00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:40,640
Speaker 3: in the day. So I mean, if he just continues

475
00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:44,440
Speaker 3: taking walks and getting on base like, it doesn't matter

476
00:21:44,480 --> 00:21:48,800
Speaker 3: if he's into forty because batting average like has not

477
00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:51,480
Speaker 3: ruled the relevant at this day and age, but it's

478
00:21:51,520 --> 00:21:54,879
Speaker 3: become less important than ever. And if he's putting up

479
00:21:54,920 --> 00:21:58,640
Speaker 3: thirty gingers a year, you know, it's I mean, that's

480
00:21:58,640 --> 00:22:00,280
Speaker 3: all you can ask for from a guy like that.

481
00:22:00,520 --> 00:22:03,119
Speaker 3: But you know, at second eighth that kind of power

482
00:22:03,119 --> 00:22:05,520
Speaker 3: supply will be will be really really awesome.

483
00:22:06,160 --> 00:22:09,320
Speaker 2: Absolutely, if he's staying ugly with better defense, I don't

484
00:22:09,359 --> 00:22:10,560
Speaker 2: even know if I think I might cry at the

485
00:22:10,600 --> 00:22:11,720
Speaker 2: game to that now.

486
00:22:11,880 --> 00:22:17,520
Speaker 1: So gosh, all right, so I'm actually gonna wanna I

487
00:22:17,520 --> 00:22:21,240
Speaker 1: want to predict something here, all right. So if Baseball America,

488
00:22:21,359 --> 00:22:23,320
Speaker 1: I know, we have our little trivia tool that we're

489
00:22:23,320 --> 00:22:25,000
Speaker 1: gonna do later but not for right now. But if

490
00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:28,520
Speaker 1: Baseball America and all these sites have Isan Diaz projected

491
00:22:28,560 --> 00:22:31,720
Speaker 1: to be a middle of the order hitter around twenty

492
00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:36,360
Speaker 1: twenty one. Who do they have leading off because we're

493
00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:42,200
Speaker 1: about to talk about him playing center field mating off

494
00:22:42,200 --> 00:22:44,600
Speaker 1: for the Marlins. Mason, So Mace is the guy that

495
00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:46,840
Speaker 1: people probably click on here and want to want to

496
00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:49,199
Speaker 1: hear about. So let's let's talk about him a little bit,

497
00:22:49,359 --> 00:22:54,679
Speaker 1: do it. The reality, right, is that it is twelve

498
00:22:54,760 --> 00:22:59,360
Speaker 1: that bats into the season, okay, after multiple well one

499
00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:01,840
Speaker 1: and a half or so years of not facing live pitching.

500
00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:04,680
Speaker 1: So everything that we say here has to be taken

501
00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:09,480
Speaker 1: with a significant grain of salt. Right, I'll start off

502
00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:12,639
Speaker 1: with this, we have a significant positive, we have a

503
00:23:12,720 --> 00:23:16,159
Speaker 1: significant negative so far. The significant positive is that the

504
00:23:16,200 --> 00:23:18,480
Speaker 1: man has not struck out ye there, you know, he's

505
00:23:18,520 --> 00:23:20,960
Speaker 1: he's making his contact week strong. We could talk about

506
00:23:20,960 --> 00:23:23,600
Speaker 1: that now, But he's not striking out right, which is

507
00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:26,320
Speaker 1: good because you want to have at least some contact.

508
00:23:25,880 --> 00:23:28,320
Speaker 5: With the ridiculous elite speed that he has.

509
00:23:28,600 --> 00:23:28,800
Speaker 6: Right.

510
00:23:29,160 --> 00:23:31,560
Speaker 1: But then we also look and he has no hits.

511
00:23:31,680 --> 00:23:33,720
Speaker 1: Whenever he's gone on base, it's been off of an error,

512
00:23:33,760 --> 00:23:36,080
Speaker 1: which I will add comes from the speed. Right, So

513
00:23:36,119 --> 00:23:38,800
Speaker 1: there's something that he's doing. Okay, there you go, that's

514
00:23:38,840 --> 00:23:43,119
Speaker 1: right from today. So what are you guys seeing, What

515
00:23:43,160 --> 00:23:44,000
Speaker 1: are you guys hoping?

516
00:23:44,080 --> 00:23:44,119
Speaker 4: What?

517
00:23:44,600 --> 00:23:47,080
Speaker 1: What are we wanting from Mesa With the understanding that

518
00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:49,280
Speaker 1: obviously we're going to have a bump here since it's

519
00:23:49,359 --> 00:23:52,159
Speaker 1: been you know, a year and change since he actually

520
00:23:52,160 --> 00:23:53,400
Speaker 1: saw live pitching.

521
00:23:55,160 --> 00:23:58,760
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm encouraged the fact that he hasn't struck out,

522
00:23:59,119 --> 00:24:01,320
Speaker 2: but I'm those slightly discouraged that he doesn't have a hit.

523
00:24:02,080 --> 00:24:06,199
Speaker 2: His swing to me, calls for easy base hits with

524
00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:08,760
Speaker 2: his speed. Is he hits, he gets his bat on

525
00:24:08,800 --> 00:24:11,480
Speaker 2: the ball for any capacity he's on base, he doesn't

526
00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:14,000
Speaker 2: even have to leave the infield. It's the same thing

527
00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:18,440
Speaker 2: with Maxiero last year. His ability to walk, to work

528
00:24:18,480 --> 00:24:21,320
Speaker 2: the count and get and get hits his pivotal to

529
00:24:21,359 --> 00:24:24,480
Speaker 2: his career. In my eyes, he doesn't have the power

530
00:24:24,600 --> 00:24:28,200
Speaker 2: or the swing plane currently to drive the ball for power.

531
00:24:29,359 --> 00:24:30,480
Speaker 4: In this stage of his career.

532
00:24:30,560 --> 00:24:33,320
Speaker 2: So him sitting on him sitting back and taking pitches

533
00:24:33,320 --> 00:24:36,280
Speaker 2: currently right now is good for is good for the start.

534
00:24:36,640 --> 00:24:37,199
Speaker 4: But I would love to.

535
00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:39,159
Speaker 2: See him swing, just swing. I want to see him

536
00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:41,240
Speaker 2: swing the bat right now. I'd like to take to

537
00:24:41,240 --> 00:24:43,520
Speaker 2: see him take some strikeouts. I want to see him

538
00:24:43,520 --> 00:24:46,200
Speaker 2: put the bat on the ball, just to see where

539
00:24:46,200 --> 00:24:48,920
Speaker 2: he's at with his timing. I mean, granted, his timing

540
00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:51,720
Speaker 2: is great for that striking out, but I want to

541
00:24:51,720 --> 00:24:52,160
Speaker 2: see the back.

542
00:24:52,200 --> 00:24:53,879
Speaker 4: I want to see the bat on the ball.

543
00:24:53,920 --> 00:24:55,639
Speaker 1: Right, And you guys saw that, like Ethan said, he

544
00:24:55,640 --> 00:24:57,280
Speaker 1: got a hit. Did we see if that was a single?

545
00:24:57,400 --> 00:24:57,440
Speaker 3: Was?

546
00:24:57,480 --> 00:25:00,399
Speaker 1: I mean, it just happened. It happened right while we

547
00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:00,879
Speaker 1: were starting.

548
00:25:01,440 --> 00:25:04,400
Speaker 3: Okay, Yeah, I think the thing I want to see

549
00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:06,679
Speaker 3: with Mesa is I just want to see him, you know,

550
00:25:07,520 --> 00:25:11,520
Speaker 3: with a good approach. So that means, you know, taking pitches,

551
00:25:11,760 --> 00:25:13,879
Speaker 3: like not swinging at anything he shouldn't be.

552
00:25:15,560 --> 00:25:16,560
Speaker 6: You know, if he's if.

553
00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:18,880
Speaker 3: He's fouling off pitches and then he's just not finishing

554
00:25:18,920 --> 00:25:23,560
Speaker 3: at bats, whether it's you know, drawing walks or you know,

555
00:25:23,720 --> 00:25:27,120
Speaker 3: get like getting a hit. Uh that's you know, obviously

556
00:25:27,200 --> 00:25:30,679
Speaker 3: you want to see that. But if he's get you know,

557
00:25:30,760 --> 00:25:32,280
Speaker 3: if he has a good approach, if he has the

558
00:25:32,320 --> 00:25:37,359
Speaker 3: right approach, and and eventually, you know, we talk about

559
00:25:37,359 --> 00:25:40,560
Speaker 3: this with Princeton a lot, Right, you have the right approach,

560
00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:42,720
Speaker 3: you get the bat on the ball more eventually the

561
00:25:42,760 --> 00:25:46,520
Speaker 3: results will come. So if he's just working the right

562
00:25:46,560 --> 00:25:50,080
Speaker 3: approach and his his plate discipline is good, and and

563
00:25:50,480 --> 00:25:53,160
Speaker 3: you know he he gets the bat on the ball

564
00:25:53,240 --> 00:25:56,800
Speaker 3: when he needs to, it's fine. But obviously it's concerning

565
00:25:56,800 --> 00:25:58,840
Speaker 3: that he's only got one hit so far, because I

566
00:25:59,320 --> 00:26:01,040
Speaker 3: think we all just kind of expected him to just

567
00:26:01,080 --> 00:26:03,000
Speaker 3: come in and hit hit, hit. But we do have

568
00:26:03,080 --> 00:26:05,360
Speaker 3: to be cautious with him because he hasn't seen live

569
00:26:05,440 --> 00:26:08,880
Speaker 3: pitching in so long, and he hasn't seen MLB quality

570
00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:12,880
Speaker 3: pitching ever. So I think we got to be cautious

571
00:26:12,880 --> 00:26:15,480
Speaker 3: with him in the first week. But yeah, if he's

572
00:26:15,520 --> 00:26:18,480
Speaker 3: if he's if he's taking pitches and working into deep

573
00:26:18,520 --> 00:26:22,320
Speaker 3: counts and has the right approach and he's having good

574
00:26:22,320 --> 00:26:26,200
Speaker 3: at bats, something like what we've seen from Hortel Farrow

575
00:26:26,320 --> 00:26:28,439
Speaker 3: so far at the major league level, where he just

576
00:26:28,520 --> 00:26:31,560
Speaker 3: is always working good at bats. If that's happening, it's

577
00:26:31,600 --> 00:26:34,680
Speaker 3: fine because the results will come eventually, and eventually we'll

578
00:26:34,680 --> 00:26:37,439
Speaker 3: start seeing him make more contact. Ian You're going to

579
00:26:37,440 --> 00:26:40,600
Speaker 3: see Jupiter soon, right, You're gonna have to come back

580
00:26:40,640 --> 00:26:42,080
Speaker 3: with a good report for us Man.

581
00:26:42,880 --> 00:26:46,160
Speaker 4: I'll actually been seeing Jupiter tomorrow. Tomorrow will be Braxton

582
00:26:46,200 --> 00:26:50,080
Speaker 4: Garrett's first start in twenty three months. So I will

583
00:26:50,080 --> 00:26:52,000
Speaker 4: make the trip to Consid Me to see the Jupiter

584
00:26:52,040 --> 00:26:56,960
Speaker 4: and Firefrogs game tomorrow afternoon. And speaking about Mesa, he's

585
00:26:56,960 --> 00:26:59,160
Speaker 4: in the probably his biggest spot of the year right now.

586
00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:01,879
Speaker 4: It is on second and third here in the second

587
00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:04,760
Speaker 4: but it looks like he might have gotten out.

588
00:27:05,160 --> 00:27:09,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, grounds is on base for a second time though

589
00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:11,080
Speaker 3: he worked. He worked a full count and then got

590
00:27:11,160 --> 00:27:15,480
Speaker 3: hit by pitch. So as well, that's nice to see

591
00:27:15,520 --> 00:27:17,920
Speaker 3: for him if he just manages to get on base

592
00:27:17,960 --> 00:27:20,000
Speaker 3: and get a couple of hits, you know, hits here

593
00:27:20,040 --> 00:27:20,360
Speaker 3: and there.

594
00:27:20,560 --> 00:27:24,919
Speaker 6: Like you know, he is what he is, what he is.

595
00:27:24,960 --> 00:27:27,120
Speaker 3: He's going to be a light hitting shortstop that's very

596
00:27:27,160 --> 00:27:29,280
Speaker 3: athletic and very good with the gloves. So you know,

597
00:27:29,320 --> 00:27:31,600
Speaker 3: if he can put together some good AB's and get

598
00:27:31,640 --> 00:27:34,480
Speaker 3: on base more than just his occasional hit, you know,

599
00:27:34,520 --> 00:27:35,679
Speaker 3: that's that'll be good for me.

600
00:27:35,840 --> 00:27:38,320
Speaker 6: So he's he's option nights start nice start tonight.

601
00:27:38,880 --> 00:27:40,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, and and and you know the reality is like

602
00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:44,600
Speaker 1: I'm okay with that. I'm okay with Dev's becoming that

603
00:27:44,680 --> 00:27:48,840
Speaker 1: type of player until we actually have someone in this

604
00:27:48,920 --> 00:27:51,439
Speaker 1: system either a we get someone in this system like

605
00:27:51,440 --> 00:27:53,560
Speaker 1: an Abrams through the draft or when or whatever the

606
00:27:53,600 --> 00:27:56,199
Speaker 1: case is, or b we decide to go with you know,

607
00:27:56,240 --> 00:27:59,360
Speaker 1: operation big Fish and go sign a short stop. I'm

608
00:27:59,400 --> 00:28:02,200
Speaker 1: okay with dev being that guy. Let the offense come

609
00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:05,399
Speaker 1: from another place, Let it come from his double play partner,

610
00:28:05,480 --> 00:28:06,919
Speaker 1: let it come from al Far or let it come

611
00:28:06,920 --> 00:28:09,919
Speaker 1: from other places. Just lock down that shortstop position for me,

612
00:28:10,280 --> 00:28:12,320
Speaker 1: And also, you know, just a part of me that's like,

613
00:28:12,440 --> 00:28:14,879
Speaker 1: I want something really good back for Stanton. I know

614
00:28:14,920 --> 00:28:18,160
Speaker 1: that that was the one financial move, even though I'll

615
00:28:18,160 --> 00:28:20,720
Speaker 1: add my little fun fact that the Marlins ate more

616
00:28:20,800 --> 00:28:23,439
Speaker 1: money in that contract than any trade they've ever had before.

617
00:28:24,160 --> 00:28:27,000
Speaker 1: But I understand that was the one financial dump. I

618
00:28:27,040 --> 00:28:28,760
Speaker 1: still want to I want to see him. I want

619
00:28:28,760 --> 00:28:31,119
Speaker 1: to see him develop into that guy that can make contact,

620
00:28:31,480 --> 00:28:35,240
Speaker 1: use his athleticism, and just lock down that shortstop position defensively.

621
00:28:35,520 --> 00:28:37,959
Speaker 3: Well, speaking of the stand trade, one guy I definitely

622
00:28:37,960 --> 00:28:40,640
Speaker 3: think we should mention here who had a really nice

623
00:28:40,640 --> 00:28:45,440
Speaker 3: start is Guzmann. You know, if it weren't for Gallon,

624
00:28:45,960 --> 00:28:47,960
Speaker 3: he probably would have had the best start of the week.

625
00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:52,680
Speaker 3: I'd say five innings, pitched, four hits, only one run,

626
00:28:53,120 --> 00:28:57,120
Speaker 3: seven strikeouts. He did have four walks, which is something

627
00:28:57,160 --> 00:29:00,640
Speaker 3: that needs to go down from him because you're not

628
00:29:00,680 --> 00:29:01,200
Speaker 3: gonna have.

629
00:29:01,160 --> 00:29:03,800
Speaker 6: Four walks and one hit, you know, one run every game.

630
00:29:04,680 --> 00:29:06,760
Speaker 3: It's good that he was able to limit the damage

631
00:29:07,120 --> 00:29:09,360
Speaker 3: with you know, by striking out seven guys. And it's

632
00:29:09,360 --> 00:29:11,560
Speaker 3: good to see that he's missing bats, which for me

633
00:29:12,040 --> 00:29:14,960
Speaker 3: is the most important thing from a gunslinger like him.

634
00:29:15,840 --> 00:29:18,160
Speaker 3: But in the future, in future starts, I'd like to

635
00:29:18,160 --> 00:29:20,680
Speaker 3: see him limit the walks. But that's a really solid

636
00:29:20,720 --> 00:29:22,080
Speaker 3: start to start the year. I think a lot of

637
00:29:22,080 --> 00:29:24,920
Speaker 3: these Marlin guys, a lot of these pitchers didn't have

638
00:29:25,040 --> 00:29:29,720
Speaker 3: flashy starts, except for a Gallon and then Yamamoto who

639
00:29:29,720 --> 00:29:32,000
Speaker 3: had nine k's. But I think a lot of these

640
00:29:32,040 --> 00:29:35,760
Speaker 3: guys had really solid starts to get on you know,

641
00:29:35,880 --> 00:29:36,480
Speaker 3: get off on.

642
00:29:36,440 --> 00:29:38,280
Speaker 6: The right foot for the year.

643
00:29:38,760 --> 00:29:41,360
Speaker 3: And and and I think that's something that you know,

644
00:29:41,400 --> 00:29:43,600
Speaker 3: that's one of the storylines of this week. Is solid

645
00:29:43,680 --> 00:29:47,880
Speaker 3: but not great all all around really nothing really fantastic,

646
00:29:47,920 --> 00:29:51,120
Speaker 3: but a lot of really solid stuff. And Guzman, who

647
00:29:51,160 --> 00:29:53,280
Speaker 3: came over in you know, he was one of the

648
00:29:53,320 --> 00:29:55,960
Speaker 3: bags of baseballs that came over in the Stanton trade,

649
00:29:56,440 --> 00:29:59,160
Speaker 3: is off to a good start and hopefully that continues.

650
00:29:59,160 --> 00:30:01,320
Speaker 3: At the double A level. Seven strikeouts in your first

651
00:30:01,360 --> 00:30:03,280
Speaker 3: start at the double A level is really solid.

652
00:30:04,520 --> 00:30:04,800
Speaker 1: Yeah.

653
00:30:04,840 --> 00:30:07,040
Speaker 2: I mean he threw eighty eight pitches, fifty three of

654
00:30:07,080 --> 00:30:09,840
Speaker 2: them for strikes, and should I mean, he could have

655
00:30:09,840 --> 00:30:11,040
Speaker 2: picked up the victory in the game.

656
00:30:11,120 --> 00:30:16,240
Speaker 4: I don't believe he did, no, but he looked great.

657
00:30:16,400 --> 00:30:20,280
Speaker 2: I mean, the four walks is almost to be expected

658
00:30:20,320 --> 00:30:23,000
Speaker 2: from Guzmand. But if he's striking out seven and walking

659
00:30:23,080 --> 00:30:25,240
Speaker 2: for I'm taking that to start the year.

660
00:30:25,600 --> 00:30:26,160
Speaker 6: Yeah, he didn't.

661
00:30:26,240 --> 00:30:28,480
Speaker 2: He didn't throw many starts in for spring training, so

662
00:30:28,560 --> 00:30:31,760
Speaker 2: he didn't. He wasn't ready for this outing. He looked great.

663
00:30:32,400 --> 00:30:35,760
Speaker 2: I'm encouraged by that. One one earned run is exciting

664
00:30:35,800 --> 00:30:39,680
Speaker 2: to me. Yeah, yeah, does going forward.

665
00:30:40,120 --> 00:30:42,080
Speaker 6: And again, like you said, the one earned run like

666
00:30:42,280 --> 00:30:43,520
Speaker 6: just limiting the damage.

667
00:30:43,640 --> 00:30:46,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, if he's gonna have four walks, but he's only

668
00:30:46,960 --> 00:30:49,440
Speaker 3: going to allow a few earned runs tonight, that's fine

669
00:30:50,160 --> 00:30:52,960
Speaker 3: as as long as he limits the damage. And one

670
00:30:52,960 --> 00:30:54,360
Speaker 3: of the things that's going to help him limit the

671
00:30:54,400 --> 00:30:57,120
Speaker 3: damage is missing bats and getting strikeouts. And he's doing

672
00:30:57,160 --> 00:31:01,520
Speaker 3: that and he didn't allow many hits, so that's you know.

673
00:31:02,080 --> 00:31:04,760
Speaker 4: One extra base hit. So yeah, so.

674
00:31:04,720 --> 00:31:07,520
Speaker 3: That always suggests not a lot of hard contact, which

675
00:31:07,760 --> 00:31:09,560
Speaker 3: is really what you're looking for, you know.

676
00:31:09,640 --> 00:31:11,320
Speaker 1: Right, And actually you hit it right there with the

677
00:31:11,360 --> 00:31:15,480
Speaker 1: hard contact because with Guzman, right, something that you'll see

678
00:31:15,520 --> 00:31:18,880
Speaker 1: is someone will look at that line and we'll say, well,

679
00:31:18,920 --> 00:31:21,880
Speaker 1: you know that's that's a walk and hits over one

680
00:31:21,880 --> 00:31:24,120
Speaker 1: per inning and that's not really what you want, right.

681
00:31:24,360 --> 00:31:27,200
Speaker 1: Someone will say that the same way that a contrarian,

682
00:31:27,520 --> 00:31:29,640
Speaker 1: although rightfully so, will say the same thing about like

683
00:31:29,720 --> 00:31:34,200
Speaker 1: Sandy's Sandy's performances or his last performance or even against

684
00:31:34,200 --> 00:31:37,240
Speaker 1: the Rockies, right, And to me, it's just to me,

685
00:31:37,280 --> 00:31:40,760
Speaker 1: it's just nitpicking to the death to try to get

686
00:31:40,800 --> 00:31:44,080
Speaker 1: someone to understand, oh, well that's relieve or risk, right, like, oh,

687
00:31:44,120 --> 00:31:46,040
Speaker 1: Sandy's going to go to the pen and Guzman is

688
00:31:46,040 --> 00:31:47,480
Speaker 1: going to go to the pen, and well, you're not

689
00:31:47,560 --> 00:31:48,360
Speaker 1: understanding is that?

690
00:31:48,400 --> 00:31:49,959
Speaker 5: Okay, they get in trouble.

691
00:31:50,160 --> 00:31:53,520
Speaker 1: I get that they're definitely not refined individuals that throw

692
00:31:53,520 --> 00:31:55,120
Speaker 1: one hundred miles an hour right where they need to.

693
00:31:55,160 --> 00:31:59,320
Speaker 1: I understand that. But they produce weak contact with Sandy,

694
00:31:59,400 --> 00:32:01,000
Speaker 1: like four of the hits the heel out, three of

695
00:32:01,040 --> 00:32:03,680
Speaker 1: the four were broken bats, right, like you guys just

696
00:32:03,800 --> 00:32:05,960
Speaker 1: mentioned here with Guzman, there was an extra base hits

697
00:32:05,960 --> 00:32:08,520
Speaker 1: that were being hit off of him. His stuff plays,

698
00:32:08,920 --> 00:32:11,920
Speaker 1: you know, is it very easy to say relieve a risk. Absolutely,

699
00:32:11,960 --> 00:32:13,680
Speaker 1: and he might end up there. He might end up

700
00:32:13,680 --> 00:32:14,960
Speaker 1: a dominant pen arm.

701
00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:17,200
Speaker 6: We don't know a problem we talked about exactly.

702
00:32:17,280 --> 00:32:18,920
Speaker 3: It's not a problem at all if he ends up

703
00:32:18,920 --> 00:32:21,120
Speaker 3: in the bullpen because his stuff will play very well

704
00:32:21,160 --> 00:32:21,600
Speaker 3: out of it.

705
00:32:22,440 --> 00:32:23,080
Speaker 5: Absolutely.

706
00:32:23,200 --> 00:32:26,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, Absolutely, I'm not worried about Guzman's arm playing in

707
00:32:26,960 --> 00:32:29,080
Speaker 2: the system at all. I mean, where it's going to

708
00:32:29,120 --> 00:32:31,320
Speaker 2: play is the only question for me at this point.

709
00:32:31,480 --> 00:32:32,920
Speaker 4: It's it's it's disgusting.

710
00:32:33,120 --> 00:32:34,600
Speaker 2: He's throwing one hundred and two and even when he

711
00:32:34,640 --> 00:32:36,440
Speaker 2: pulls back on it and he can break you off

712
00:32:36,440 --> 00:32:39,800
Speaker 2: of the mid eighties slider, which is you're not seeing

713
00:32:39,800 --> 00:32:43,400
Speaker 2: that unless you're Jordan Hicks. So yeah, I mean he's

714
00:32:43,400 --> 00:32:45,480
Speaker 2: going to do things in this in the game, and

715
00:32:45,600 --> 00:32:47,920
Speaker 2: it's just gonna be exciting to see what those things are.

716
00:32:49,320 --> 00:32:49,520
Speaker 5: Yep.

717
00:32:49,640 --> 00:32:51,720
Speaker 1: Absolutely, And like Ethan said, we had kind of a

718
00:32:51,760 --> 00:32:54,320
Speaker 1: pattern this week. I mean I feel like it's going

719
00:32:54,360 --> 00:32:56,680
Speaker 1: to be this pattern every single week where the pitching

720
00:32:57,040 --> 00:32:59,240
Speaker 1: we have someone that we could talk about whether it's

721
00:32:59,400 --> 00:33:03,200
Speaker 1: very excited or just good enough across the affiliates. And again,

722
00:33:03,600 --> 00:33:05,600
Speaker 1: if you start off, if you start off at the

723
00:33:05,680 --> 00:33:08,480
Speaker 1: at the very lost with Chris Valamont, Okay had a

724
00:33:08,600 --> 00:33:12,400
Speaker 1: great first start, five innings pitched, big K's only two walks.

725
00:33:12,400 --> 00:33:13,880
Speaker 1: Then you go to Will Stewart and it's like, oh,

726
00:33:13,960 --> 00:33:16,360
Speaker 1: nothing over the top, no perfect game like Gallon, but

727
00:33:16,520 --> 00:33:19,480
Speaker 1: no second fiddle. Either went five point five to two,

728
00:33:20,040 --> 00:33:22,080
Speaker 1: four strikeouts. Then he had the four walks, but he

729
00:33:22,120 --> 00:33:25,080
Speaker 1: limited his damage. We continue to see that. We saw

730
00:33:25,080 --> 00:33:27,280
Speaker 1: it with Guzban, then we saw it with who you

731
00:33:27,280 --> 00:33:30,600
Speaker 1: already made mention would likely be the Ian's Pitcher of

732
00:33:30,640 --> 00:33:33,360
Speaker 1: the week if it wasn't for Gallan, but Yamamoto yams

733
00:33:33,440 --> 00:33:37,240
Speaker 1: had a heck of a first outing, five innings pitch.

734
00:33:37,400 --> 00:33:38,720
Speaker 5: Was it nine K's.

735
00:33:39,720 --> 00:33:40,640
Speaker 6: Walk in two runs?

736
00:33:40,720 --> 00:33:41,680
Speaker 4: Yeah.

737
00:33:41,880 --> 00:33:44,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're seeing you're seeing these layers of talent. I

738
00:33:44,600 --> 00:33:48,680
Speaker 1: guess to quote Mike kill On on display every single day.

739
00:33:48,720 --> 00:33:50,080
Speaker 1: You're seeing someone go out there.

740
00:33:51,120 --> 00:33:52,480
Speaker 4: It's it's exciting to see that.

741
00:33:52,560 --> 00:33:55,600
Speaker 2: I mean talking about Vallimont, I mean he was a

742
00:33:56,560 --> 00:33:58,840
Speaker 2: lower round draft pick last year. He is a huge,

743
00:33:58,840 --> 00:34:02,520
Speaker 2: big body pitch with talent and to come out here

744
00:34:02,560 --> 00:34:04,800
Speaker 2: in this first start to show that is exciting to see.

745
00:34:04,880 --> 00:34:07,000
Speaker 2: I mean, he's a player we can see move up

746
00:34:07,040 --> 00:34:09,520
Speaker 2: to the system decently quick this year. If he shows

747
00:34:09,600 --> 00:34:11,759
Speaker 2: good numbers, I mean, he's a college draft pick.

748
00:34:12,480 --> 00:34:13,080
Speaker 4: He's possible.

749
00:34:13,080 --> 00:34:14,640
Speaker 2: If possible, we could see him in Jupiter by the

750
00:34:14,719 --> 00:34:16,560
Speaker 2: end of twenty nineteen, if he continues to put up

751
00:34:16,640 --> 00:34:20,040
Speaker 2: numbers after I think it was a down year in

752
00:34:20,040 --> 00:34:20,840
Speaker 2: twenty eighteen.

753
00:34:20,880 --> 00:34:22,920
Speaker 4: If I can recall for Valmont.

754
00:34:22,840 --> 00:34:25,399
Speaker 3: And you know by this, you know it's only been

755
00:34:25,960 --> 00:34:28,960
Speaker 3: four or five games. You know, the season started on Thursday,

756
00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:31,560
Speaker 3: so we you know, by next episode, we'll have a

757
00:34:31,560 --> 00:34:35,120
Speaker 3: full week week and a half workload, you know for

758
00:34:35,200 --> 00:34:38,000
Speaker 3: these guys, for these hitters, which is when you can

759
00:34:38,040 --> 00:34:41,600
Speaker 3: start making some you know, some get some takes off

760
00:34:41,680 --> 00:34:43,960
Speaker 3: about about what's going on, how their start to the

761
00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:46,720
Speaker 3: season is. You know, it'll be eleven games or whatever

762
00:34:46,760 --> 00:34:49,879
Speaker 3: by then. But and then you know, pitchers will either

763
00:34:49,920 --> 00:34:52,399
Speaker 3: have two or three starts, depending on you know, where

764
00:34:52,400 --> 00:34:54,879
Speaker 3: they are in the rotation and what the team is

765
00:34:54,920 --> 00:34:56,839
Speaker 3: going with five and which team is going with six.

766
00:34:56,920 --> 00:35:01,920
Speaker 3: So so it's hard to make too many judgments at

767
00:35:01,920 --> 00:35:03,960
Speaker 3: this point in the season because it's only been a

768
00:35:03,960 --> 00:35:07,080
Speaker 3: few games, and you know, like face that doesn't even

769
00:35:07,080 --> 00:35:09,520
Speaker 3: have you know, has one hit so far, so it's

770
00:35:09,520 --> 00:35:12,279
Speaker 3: tough to make judgments so far. But like like we

771
00:35:12,520 --> 00:35:17,239
Speaker 3: you know, like I said, solid, nothing fantastic except for

772
00:35:17,560 --> 00:35:21,000
Speaker 3: you know, Hallan and then Incarnacion who's setting the world

773
00:35:21,040 --> 00:35:23,360
Speaker 3: on fire in the first weekend.

774
00:35:23,600 --> 00:35:24,880
Speaker 6: But solid start.

775
00:35:24,960 --> 00:35:26,960
Speaker 3: I would definitely say it's a very solid start for

776
00:35:26,960 --> 00:35:27,920
Speaker 3: the Marlins this weekend.

777
00:35:28,880 --> 00:35:29,920
Speaker 4: Absolutely right there.

778
00:35:29,920 --> 00:35:32,560
Speaker 2: We talk about another guy since we really haven't talked

779
00:35:32,600 --> 00:35:36,000
Speaker 2: about him, is Austin Dean this week? Yeah, he's strictly

780
00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:38,520
Speaker 2: played in right field primarily to start the year, which

781
00:35:38,560 --> 00:35:41,439
Speaker 2: is quite surprising after seeing no games in right field

782
00:35:41,520 --> 00:35:45,040
Speaker 2: last year. He's looked great to start the year. He's

783
00:35:45,040 --> 00:35:47,560
Speaker 2: stole in another base, he's getting on base, I think

784
00:35:47,560 --> 00:35:48,799
Speaker 2: at four fifty right now.

785
00:35:49,239 --> 00:35:49,520
Speaker 6: Nice.

786
00:35:50,360 --> 00:35:52,560
Speaker 2: He hit his first extra base hit today, I believe.

787
00:35:53,080 --> 00:35:55,719
Speaker 2: And he's looked great to start the year. I mean,

788
00:35:57,120 --> 00:35:58,799
Speaker 2: I'm gett out lat said it last week. I'm still

789
00:35:58,840 --> 00:36:01,480
Speaker 2: surprised to see him in this year. But if he

790
00:36:01,520 --> 00:36:03,680
Speaker 2: continues to play like this, it's going to be exciting

791
00:36:03,680 --> 00:36:05,120
Speaker 2: to see what he can do. It's this year because

792
00:36:05,120 --> 00:36:07,680
Speaker 2: I'll expect to see in Miami very soon.

793
00:36:08,320 --> 00:36:11,319
Speaker 3: Yeah, and with O'Brien struggling at the major league level.

794
00:36:12,840 --> 00:36:15,280
Speaker 3: I would love to see Dean up soon. If if

795
00:36:15,440 --> 00:36:18,759
Speaker 3: O'Brien doesn't turn it around here within a week or two,

796
00:36:18,840 --> 00:36:21,680
Speaker 3: and Dean keeps hidden, you know, I don't see any

797
00:36:21,719 --> 00:36:23,560
Speaker 3: reason to keep him down in Tribla that long.

798
00:36:23,840 --> 00:36:25,239
Speaker 6: I thought he was gonna be in the MLB to

799
00:36:25,280 --> 00:36:26,719
Speaker 6: start year. I think it took a lot of us

800
00:36:26,719 --> 00:36:27,760
Speaker 6: by surprise that he wasn't.

801
00:36:29,120 --> 00:36:30,839
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I mean you'd have to imagine that's why

802
00:36:30,880 --> 00:36:32,640
Speaker 1: they're trying to groom him in right field as well.

803
00:36:32,760 --> 00:36:34,719
Speaker 1: You know, any kind of versatility that you could get

804
00:36:34,719 --> 00:36:38,319
Speaker 1: in the corner outfield spots, O'Brien might not pick it up,

805
00:36:38,400 --> 00:36:38,960
Speaker 1: might pick it up.

806
00:36:38,960 --> 00:36:39,280
Speaker 5: Obviously.

807
00:36:39,320 --> 00:36:41,400
Speaker 1: They love his power, but we need to make contact

808
00:36:41,400 --> 00:36:44,080
Speaker 1: to produce that kind of power. So good to see

809
00:36:44,120 --> 00:36:46,040
Speaker 1: him out there, Good to see that it seems like

810
00:36:46,080 --> 00:36:50,279
Speaker 1: he's handling himself well, and that if things continue the

811
00:36:50,320 --> 00:36:53,319
Speaker 1: way that the momentum is continuing, I'm imagining that we're

812
00:36:53,320 --> 00:36:56,719
Speaker 1: going to see him up there sooner rather than later. Yeah,

813
00:36:56,920 --> 00:36:58,640
Speaker 1: all right, So then, so then I do have a

814
00:36:58,719 --> 00:37:02,840
Speaker 1: question before possibly move on to a different kind of conversation.

815
00:37:03,520 --> 00:37:05,759
Speaker 1: It's obviously early right, Like Ethan you just said it.

816
00:37:05,880 --> 00:37:09,440
Speaker 1: All of this, whether positive or negative, comes with a

817
00:37:09,480 --> 00:37:12,040
Speaker 1: grain of salt. It comes with an understanding that we

818
00:37:12,120 --> 00:37:15,080
Speaker 1: can't hold too much weight on any of these takes. Right,

819
00:37:15,600 --> 00:37:19,879
Speaker 1: But is there anyone or any prospect that you look

820
00:37:19,920 --> 00:37:22,399
Speaker 1: at and I have maybe a few in mind where

821
00:37:22,400 --> 00:37:25,239
Speaker 1: we were looking for something very specific for them to

822
00:37:25,320 --> 00:37:29,279
Speaker 1: do or stay away from, and it's been a difficulty.

823
00:37:29,600 --> 00:37:29,759
Speaker 6: Right.

824
00:37:29,840 --> 00:37:32,200
Speaker 1: So, like the first one that comes up to mind

825
00:37:32,280 --> 00:37:34,960
Speaker 1: was my guy that I talked about last week, right,

826
00:37:35,040 --> 00:37:39,839
Speaker 1: John Reynolds, Right, it's tough. It's tough when you have

827
00:37:39,920 --> 00:37:43,239
Speaker 1: twelve at bats and ten of them are strikeouts. You know,

828
00:37:44,239 --> 00:37:46,120
Speaker 1: that's that's not the way you want to start the year.

829
00:37:46,120 --> 00:37:49,560
Speaker 1: And obviously, again we understand that it's a young campaign

830
00:37:50,080 --> 00:37:53,839
Speaker 1: and that we can't talk too much and put too

831
00:37:53,880 --> 00:37:54,480
Speaker 1: much weight on it.

832
00:37:54,520 --> 00:37:55,280
Speaker 5: But that's tough.

833
00:37:55,480 --> 00:37:58,879
Speaker 1: Right now, I will say he also does have six walks, right,

834
00:37:59,680 --> 00:38:01,840
Speaker 1: so his head bats are twelve, but that's because the

835
00:38:01,840 --> 00:38:04,000
Speaker 1: walk zone counters at bats they count has played appearances,

836
00:38:04,560 --> 00:38:07,200
Speaker 1: So he has six walks and ten strikeouts. A case

837
00:38:07,280 --> 00:38:09,520
Speaker 1: like that where obviously I want him to make more contact,

838
00:38:09,640 --> 00:38:11,680
Speaker 1: We need him to make more contact. Is there anyone

839
00:38:11,680 --> 00:38:14,080
Speaker 1: else that comes to your mind, or is that the

840
00:38:14,080 --> 00:38:15,759
Speaker 1: one kind of candidate that we look at.

841
00:38:17,320 --> 00:38:20,480
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm a little upset with Connor Scott starts

842
00:38:20,520 --> 00:38:23,000
Speaker 2: to be. Yeah, he had an extra base hit. I

843
00:38:23,040 --> 00:38:26,080
Speaker 2: believe it was a triple two days ago. But besides that,

844
00:38:26,320 --> 00:38:31,000
Speaker 2: he hasn't hit much, hasn't walked much, and hasn't really

845
00:38:31,280 --> 00:38:34,520
Speaker 2: done any thing to show me he's shown any growth

846
00:38:34,560 --> 00:38:38,360
Speaker 2: from twenty eighteen. He's got six strikeouts, he's got one walk,

847
00:38:38,719 --> 00:38:41,520
Speaker 2: and he's got one hit total and it's a triple.

848
00:38:41,680 --> 00:38:46,000
Speaker 2: But it's only four games, it's only eighteen at bats.

849
00:38:46,000 --> 00:38:49,200
Speaker 2: But I'd like to see a little bit more. The

850
00:38:49,320 --> 00:38:51,839
Speaker 2: hit tool for for cond Of Scott's the biggest thing

851
00:38:51,880 --> 00:38:53,719
Speaker 2: going forward for him. So he you know, we can

852
00:38:53,760 --> 00:38:55,040
Speaker 2: get you know what he can do when he gets

853
00:38:55,040 --> 00:38:57,200
Speaker 2: on base, and we know what he can do in

854
00:38:57,239 --> 00:38:58,880
Speaker 2: the field. But he has to put the bat on

855
00:38:58,880 --> 00:39:01,160
Speaker 2: the ball, like with any buddy I've talked about today,

856
00:39:01,840 --> 00:39:02,560
Speaker 2: down on the ball.

857
00:39:02,920 --> 00:39:04,080
Speaker 4: But conn Of.

858
00:39:04,040 --> 00:39:05,600
Speaker 2: Scott's a guy for me i'd like to see do

859
00:39:05,640 --> 00:39:06,919
Speaker 2: a little bit more going into the year.

860
00:39:07,840 --> 00:39:10,040
Speaker 3: I'd like to see Trisan Pompeii do a little more.

861
00:39:11,120 --> 00:39:14,120
Speaker 3: He set the world on fire last year for US.

862
00:39:14,160 --> 00:39:18,120
Speaker 3: We were all so excited about him. Had a great

863
00:39:18,360 --> 00:39:22,280
Speaker 3: twenty four games in Greensboro, had a really nice twenty

864
00:39:22,280 --> 00:39:23,760
Speaker 3: four games in Jupiter.

865
00:39:24,920 --> 00:39:28,520
Speaker 6: He's taken walks so far, he's got four games, but

866
00:39:28,600 --> 00:39:29,279
Speaker 6: he struck.

867
00:39:29,040 --> 00:39:33,239
Speaker 3: Out seven times and he's only got two hits and

868
00:39:33,280 --> 00:39:36,719
Speaker 3: they're both singles. I'd like to see more power from him,

869
00:39:36,840 --> 00:39:40,520
Speaker 3: And obviously i'd like to see him get hits because

870
00:39:40,600 --> 00:39:44,960
Speaker 3: he hit last year. He hit three fourteen in Greensborough

871
00:39:44,960 --> 00:39:47,799
Speaker 3: and he hit two ninety one in Jupiter, So yeah,

872
00:39:47,840 --> 00:39:49,920
Speaker 3: i'd like to see him get off to a better start.

873
00:39:50,520 --> 00:39:53,760
Speaker 3: I kind of expected him. He's not playing tonight for Jupiter,

874
00:39:54,800 --> 00:39:56,600
Speaker 3: he's not in the lineup. I'd like to see.

875
00:39:56,440 --> 00:39:59,279
Speaker 6: Him get get some.

876
00:39:59,200 --> 00:40:02,759
Speaker 3: More hits, start putting up better number because I really

877
00:40:02,760 --> 00:40:04,920
Speaker 3: expected him to kind of come out and have a

878
00:40:04,960 --> 00:40:07,200
Speaker 3: really good start to the season and get off on

879
00:40:07,239 --> 00:40:08,919
Speaker 3: the right foot because he had such a good start

880
00:40:08,960 --> 00:40:11,160
Speaker 3: to his career last year. I think it's fine, he'll

881
00:40:11,160 --> 00:40:15,480
Speaker 3: be okay because he's really solid, really solid prospect. But yeah,

882
00:40:15,520 --> 00:40:17,520
Speaker 3: i'd like to see the numbers get better from him

883
00:40:17,520 --> 00:40:18,480
Speaker 3: in the next week or two.

884
00:40:19,640 --> 00:40:22,520
Speaker 1: And I have actually two takes on Pompey that I

885
00:40:22,600 --> 00:40:24,640
Speaker 1: kind of want y'all's opinion on. You tell me if

886
00:40:24,680 --> 00:40:26,520
Speaker 1: I'm wrong on this, or if I'm a little off,

887
00:40:26,600 --> 00:40:28,520
Speaker 1: or whatever the case is. So the first one I

888
00:40:28,520 --> 00:40:30,840
Speaker 1: don't think is very controversial. I think that he is

889
00:40:31,360 --> 00:40:35,319
Speaker 1: likely the most advanced draftee from last year's class at

890
00:40:35,360 --> 00:40:38,120
Speaker 1: the moment. I'm not saying highest ceiling. I'm saying I

891
00:40:38,160 --> 00:40:40,440
Speaker 1: think he has the most advanced hit tool and just

892
00:40:40,520 --> 00:40:43,239
Speaker 1: the most advanced tools right now on the on the

893
00:40:43,280 --> 00:40:46,920
Speaker 1: batting side. So that's that's my take one, and that's

894
00:40:46,920 --> 00:40:49,840
Speaker 1: why I also think he'll have the quickest eta from

895
00:40:50,000 --> 00:40:52,520
Speaker 1: the from the previous draft class. So that's take one.

896
00:40:52,680 --> 00:40:55,000
Speaker 1: Take two might be a little bit more controversial. I

897
00:40:55,080 --> 00:40:58,200
Speaker 1: honestly eventually see him being the first basement of the Marlins.

898
00:40:58,200 --> 00:41:00,960
Speaker 1: I think that they move him over from the outfield, obviously,

899
00:41:01,040 --> 00:41:03,759
Speaker 1: that was one of his red flags coming out. I

900
00:41:03,800 --> 00:41:06,040
Speaker 1: think that he eventually moves to first Some people love

901
00:41:06,080 --> 00:41:08,880
Speaker 1: this idea, some people hate this idea. I wonder what

902
00:41:08,960 --> 00:41:10,400
Speaker 1: do you guys think.

903
00:41:11,200 --> 00:41:14,560
Speaker 2: I believe it probably offers him the highest ceiling going

904
00:41:14,600 --> 00:41:15,680
Speaker 2: forward at first base.

905
00:41:16,000 --> 00:41:16,880
Speaker 4: With his makeup.

906
00:41:17,560 --> 00:41:20,000
Speaker 2: His arm is not very strong in the outfield, and

907
00:41:20,040 --> 00:41:23,719
Speaker 2: he has no future in center or right. If the Marlins,

908
00:41:23,920 --> 00:41:26,960
Speaker 2: with the way they're developing outfielders, go their route, they're going,

909
00:41:27,560 --> 00:41:29,840
Speaker 2: his best pass to the majors would be at first base.

910
00:41:29,960 --> 00:41:32,880
Speaker 2: As he's a big body, he's a switch hitter, he

911
00:41:32,960 --> 00:41:36,560
Speaker 2: hits for power, he's athletic. He's everything you'd want in

912
00:41:36,600 --> 00:41:38,800
Speaker 2: the new age first basement in the major leagues.

913
00:41:39,440 --> 00:41:40,920
Speaker 4: I mean he's I.

914
00:41:40,880 --> 00:41:44,279
Speaker 2: Mean, with the DH likely coming very soon, he's another

915
00:41:44,320 --> 00:41:46,600
Speaker 2: candidate to play DH on off nights. He's a type

916
00:41:46,640 --> 00:41:48,840
Speaker 2: of player who'd be great to have on your roster,

917
00:41:49,040 --> 00:41:51,720
Speaker 2: but first base would be, in my eye, is the

918
00:41:51,440 --> 00:41:52,960
Speaker 2: best look for him going forward.

919
00:41:53,600 --> 00:41:55,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, I agree with everything Ian said. And then the

920
00:41:56,000 --> 00:41:58,000
Speaker 3: other thing is it takes a little pressure off of

921
00:41:58,080 --> 00:42:01,000
Speaker 3: him defensively so he can put a little more focus

922
00:42:01,040 --> 00:42:01,640
Speaker 3: on the offense.

923
00:42:01,800 --> 00:42:04,000
Speaker 6: And I think that'll be big for him.

924
00:42:04,000 --> 00:42:05,880
Speaker 3: And then the most important thing that Ian said is

925
00:42:05,960 --> 00:42:09,360
Speaker 3: it provides the quickest path for him to the MLB.

926
00:42:09,760 --> 00:42:11,399
Speaker 3: And I think we got to start getting our young

927
00:42:11,480 --> 00:42:15,040
Speaker 3: talent to the MLB. And you know, if he gets

928
00:42:15,040 --> 00:42:17,120
Speaker 3: in there in a year and a half rather than

929
00:42:17,200 --> 00:42:20,480
Speaker 3: two three years, I think we should do it. And

930
00:42:21,080 --> 00:42:23,960
Speaker 3: I do because there's not much depth at all at

931
00:42:24,000 --> 00:42:26,239
Speaker 3: first base in this organization.

932
00:42:26,600 --> 00:42:28,560
Speaker 6: You know, it's kind of been plug and play.

933
00:42:29,960 --> 00:42:34,799
Speaker 3: Even at the MLB level, So I think it easily

934
00:42:34,840 --> 00:42:37,040
Speaker 3: provides the best path for him to the majors because

935
00:42:37,040 --> 00:42:38,719
Speaker 3: of how much clutter there is in the outfield.

936
00:42:39,040 --> 00:42:41,200
Speaker 6: So yeah, I think he fits perfectly at first base.

937
00:42:41,239 --> 00:42:42,040
Speaker 6: I totally agree.

938
00:42:42,280 --> 00:42:45,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, And it's kind of funny. He's somewhat the antithesis

939
00:42:45,600 --> 00:42:47,799
Speaker 1: of what the Marlins have in their farm system and

940
00:42:47,800 --> 00:42:49,440
Speaker 1: even at the major league level right now. What I

941
00:42:49,480 --> 00:42:52,640
Speaker 1: mean by that is that they seem to target these

942
00:42:52,960 --> 00:42:57,040
Speaker 1: really high variable, but high ceiling prospects who are very athletic,

943
00:42:57,360 --> 00:43:00,200
Speaker 1: can play all across the diamond or can play up

944
00:43:00,200 --> 00:43:03,480
Speaker 1: the middle right, and then he's kind of the opposite, Like,

945
00:43:03,800 --> 00:43:06,799
Speaker 1: I'm not sure that his ceiling is incredibly incredibly high.

946
00:43:06,840 --> 00:43:07,640
Speaker 5: I think it's high.

947
00:43:07,880 --> 00:43:09,520
Speaker 1: I'm just saying I don't think that his ceiling will

948
00:43:09,560 --> 00:43:12,320
Speaker 1: ever be the ceiling that Brinson once had or Harrison

949
00:43:12,400 --> 00:43:14,640
Speaker 1: came in, or whatever the case may be. But he's

950
00:43:14,640 --> 00:43:18,480
Speaker 1: limited on the defense with a nice floor that I

951
00:43:18,520 --> 00:43:22,239
Speaker 1: think that his floor is a solid hitting contributor. If

952
00:43:22,280 --> 00:43:24,600
Speaker 1: you put him at first it allows you to be

953
00:43:24,680 --> 00:43:27,759
Speaker 1: able to, like you said, promote him quicker, get him

954
00:43:27,840 --> 00:43:30,479
Speaker 1: up to Marlin's Park and see that bat play, which

955
00:43:30,520 --> 00:43:35,040
Speaker 1: absolutely will play. All right, so we're almost getting out

956
00:43:35,080 --> 00:43:38,560
Speaker 1: of time, so let's just do a few quick things here.

957
00:43:39,200 --> 00:43:40,840
Speaker 5: We were able to get some news.

958
00:43:40,920 --> 00:43:42,880
Speaker 1: It's not really news, it's not like we're breaking anything,

959
00:43:42,880 --> 00:43:46,319
Speaker 1: but some news across the affiliates, some having to do

960
00:43:46,360 --> 00:43:49,840
Speaker 1: with Monte Harrison six. So Sanchez, another promotion that happened.

961
00:43:50,040 --> 00:43:52,080
Speaker 1: I'm going to let y'all take your pick on what

962
00:43:52,160 --> 00:43:54,960
Speaker 1: we want to talk about, but obviously very clear important

963
00:43:55,360 --> 00:43:57,120
Speaker 1: updates that we have to get to.

964
00:43:57,200 --> 00:43:59,360
Speaker 5: So Ian go ahead and take us wherever you'd like.

965
00:44:00,120 --> 00:44:02,479
Speaker 2: Well, we'll start with lead off with Monty Harrison because

966
00:44:02,520 --> 00:44:05,680
Speaker 2: we haven't spoken about him today very often. Joe Vassarro

967
00:44:05,760 --> 00:44:07,400
Speaker 2: and Craig Matage came out this week and said he's

968
00:44:07,440 --> 00:44:10,719
Speaker 2: been dealing. Listen, right, you risk soreness, not enough to

969
00:44:10,760 --> 00:44:13,880
Speaker 2: go into DL. But today he was seeing live pitching.

970
00:44:14,000 --> 00:44:16,440
Speaker 2: So luckily might be seeing Mante back in the line

971
00:44:16,480 --> 00:44:20,319
Speaker 2: up here in the next week or so. Going off

972
00:44:20,320 --> 00:44:24,200
Speaker 2: of that, talking a little bit about six though, Sanchez

973
00:44:25,000 --> 00:44:27,160
Speaker 2: about that because he might actually have the ability to

974
00:44:27,200 --> 00:44:28,360
Speaker 2: see that first start.

975
00:44:28,560 --> 00:44:33,120
Speaker 3: But yeah, I'm excited to see six though he's coming back.

976
00:44:33,160 --> 00:44:35,359
Speaker 3: I think they set the date for April twenty six,

977
00:44:36,320 --> 00:44:41,200
Speaker 3: so that's what eighteen days await or something about three weeks.

978
00:44:41,960 --> 00:44:45,680
Speaker 3: It'll be a Friday night in Jacksonville. I'm gonna try

979
00:44:45,719 --> 00:44:48,160
Speaker 3: and go see it. I got some other things that

980
00:44:48,200 --> 00:44:50,959
Speaker 3: weekend going on, but I would love to go see him.

981
00:44:51,160 --> 00:44:54,720
Speaker 3: I haven't seen him in live action. I honestly don't

982
00:44:54,760 --> 00:44:57,120
Speaker 3: know too much about him except for the profile. But

983
00:44:57,400 --> 00:44:59,600
Speaker 3: I would love to see him and really see what

984
00:44:59,600 --> 00:45:00,560
Speaker 3: we're working with here.

985
00:45:01,400 --> 00:45:05,600
Speaker 6: That's exciting. And then yeah, just been Monte the line up.

986
00:45:05,560 --> 00:45:10,480
Speaker 3: Soon within the next year, because you don't want the

987
00:45:10,560 --> 00:45:12,399
Speaker 3: injury to keep him out too long and then really

988
00:45:12,480 --> 00:45:16,399
Speaker 3: kind of derail the beginning of his season. So let's

989
00:45:16,440 --> 00:45:19,600
Speaker 3: just hope that he uh, let's just hope that he,

990
00:45:20,000 --> 00:45:22,680
Speaker 3: you know, gets back here soon within the next few

991
00:45:22,760 --> 00:45:24,719
Speaker 3: days and gets in the lineup, because I want to

992
00:45:24,719 --> 00:45:27,359
Speaker 3: start seeing some some at bats for Monte. You know,

993
00:45:27,400 --> 00:45:29,640
Speaker 3: we had so much that we have to look out

994
00:45:29,680 --> 00:45:32,080
Speaker 3: for this year with him, whether it's the strikeouts or

995
00:45:32,080 --> 00:45:33,520
Speaker 3: more power with the new approach.

996
00:45:33,640 --> 00:45:36,960
Speaker 6: So uh, I'm hoping for the best for Monte, and

997
00:45:37,000 --> 00:45:37,600
Speaker 6: I'm hoping.

998
00:45:37,400 --> 00:45:39,760
Speaker 3: That he's not out for too long, and I'm hoping

999
00:45:39,760 --> 00:45:41,600
Speaker 3: he's back here in a few days so that we

1000
00:45:41,640 --> 00:45:42,120
Speaker 3: can start.

1001
00:45:42,400 --> 00:45:44,120
Speaker 6: It's just another name that will pop up in the

1002
00:45:44,160 --> 00:45:46,960
Speaker 6: box score that'll get me excited, you know, and and

1003
00:45:47,440 --> 00:45:50,120
Speaker 6: we need that. So hoping for the best for Monte

1004
00:45:50,160 --> 00:45:50,520
Speaker 6: for sure.

1005
00:45:51,920 --> 00:45:52,360
Speaker 5: Absolutely.

1006
00:45:52,440 --> 00:45:52,600
Speaker 4: Yeah.

1007
00:45:52,600 --> 00:45:54,200
Speaker 1: I mean, we got to get Monte on the field

1008
00:45:54,239 --> 00:45:56,640
Speaker 1: and just see, just see this development happen.

1009
00:45:56,840 --> 00:45:57,520
Speaker 5: Just is what it is.

1010
00:45:57,560 --> 00:45:59,480
Speaker 1: And I mean, I'm just jealous you gets to see six.

1011
00:45:59,520 --> 00:46:02,120
Speaker 1: So I'll also add that Corey Bird got promoted to

1012
00:46:02,160 --> 00:46:05,319
Speaker 1: double a very under the radar guy outfielder has shown

1013
00:46:05,320 --> 00:46:07,480
Speaker 1: that he can hit a bit, so so you know,

1014
00:46:07,520 --> 00:46:08,920
Speaker 1: congrats to him. That has more to do with the

1015
00:46:08,960 --> 00:46:11,839
Speaker 1: roster construction than anything, but at least he's up there

1016
00:46:11,880 --> 00:46:14,520
Speaker 1: and we'll see what can happen if he if he

1017
00:46:14,520 --> 00:46:17,080
Speaker 1: shows himself worthy. All right, So our last segment, which

1018
00:46:17,120 --> 00:46:18,120
Speaker 1: is the first time we're going to do it, but

1019
00:46:18,120 --> 00:46:20,440
Speaker 1: we're gonna do it weekly, is Ian's segment. He's going

1020
00:46:20,520 --> 00:46:22,840
Speaker 1: to choose a top pitcher and a position player for

1021
00:46:22,920 --> 00:46:24,719
Speaker 1: the week, and we're going to see how much how

1022
00:46:24,800 --> 00:46:26,560
Speaker 1: much hell we give him, I guess with with either

1023
00:46:26,600 --> 00:46:29,439
Speaker 1: agreeing or not agreeing, but take it away, good sir.

1024
00:46:29,600 --> 00:46:32,040
Speaker 1: What is your top pitching selection. I'm not sure that

1025
00:46:32,080 --> 00:46:34,440
Speaker 1: we're going to get any surprises here, but give.

1026
00:46:34,320 --> 00:46:34,560
Speaker 5: It to you.

1027
00:46:35,160 --> 00:46:37,040
Speaker 4: This might be the easiest week for me on this one.

1028
00:46:37,080 --> 00:46:39,279
Speaker 2: I might catch the most the least amount of flack

1029
00:46:39,320 --> 00:46:41,560
Speaker 2: for you guys, but I'm going to go with Zach Allen.

1030
00:46:41,960 --> 00:46:43,440
Speaker 4: It's quite obvious.

1031
00:46:43,480 --> 00:46:47,719
Speaker 2: Seven endings again, no no hits, no walks, eleven strike

1032
00:46:47,800 --> 00:46:50,400
Speaker 2: or seven strike or excuse me, eleven strikeouts.

1033
00:46:52,120 --> 00:46:53,839
Speaker 5: He was, Yeah, I don't think. I don't think what's

1034
00:46:53,880 --> 00:46:54,759
Speaker 5: gonna be too upset there?

1035
00:46:54,880 --> 00:46:57,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean there's a couple under the radar guys

1036
00:46:57,440 --> 00:47:00,239
Speaker 2: that could have slid in there, but it's going to

1037
00:47:00,280 --> 00:47:04,120
Speaker 2: be easily Gallon. And for Hitters and Carnassion, I mean

1038
00:47:04,440 --> 00:47:06,880
Speaker 2: we've talked about them all episode. He's set in the

1039
00:47:06,880 --> 00:47:09,439
Speaker 2: World on Fire right now after Austin Deane's another one.

1040
00:47:09,520 --> 00:47:11,080
Speaker 4: But in Carnacion are my two.

1041
00:47:11,320 --> 00:47:13,439
Speaker 2: And if you guys don't agree with me this week,

1042
00:47:13,520 --> 00:47:15,280
Speaker 2: we're definitely gonna have some problems going forward.

1043
00:47:17,239 --> 00:47:18,799
Speaker 5: No, I think this one's really easy to agree with.

1044
00:47:18,880 --> 00:47:20,480
Speaker 1: I think Yams could have been, like you said, a

1045
00:47:20,520 --> 00:47:23,000
Speaker 1: nice sort of runner up, you know, hit out in

1046
00:47:23,040 --> 00:47:25,640
Speaker 1: Carnassion is, like you said, lighting the world on fire,

1047
00:47:25,640 --> 00:47:27,160
Speaker 1: and it's nice to see him get to that start.

1048
00:47:27,360 --> 00:47:30,560
Speaker 1: I'm going to give a very selfish plug and say

1049
00:47:30,600 --> 00:47:32,279
Speaker 1: that the guy I told everyone not to give up on,

1050
00:47:32,320 --> 00:47:34,680
Speaker 1: which is mag Sierra actually had a really nice week

1051
00:47:35,040 --> 00:47:38,080
Speaker 1: sixteen at bats, only struck out three times, took his

1052
00:47:38,160 --> 00:47:40,480
Speaker 1: one walk, which is you know, more than Brinson has

1053
00:47:40,560 --> 00:47:45,480
Speaker 1: right now and has chiery doubles. So we're seeing something there, right,

1054
00:47:45,520 --> 00:47:47,360
Speaker 1: He's finally at the spot he should be yet, So

1055
00:47:47,760 --> 00:47:49,719
Speaker 1: just wanted to give him some love and.

1056
00:47:49,800 --> 00:47:53,920
Speaker 6: Don't rush him. Yeah, not rush him, you know, yeah, let.

1057
00:47:53,800 --> 00:47:55,520
Speaker 3: Him stay down there and if he's going to put

1058
00:47:55,520 --> 00:47:59,000
Speaker 3: results together, that will just increase the confidence and increase

1059
00:47:59,040 --> 00:48:01,040
Speaker 3: his ability to put something together.

1060
00:48:00,800 --> 00:48:01,959
Speaker 6: At the major league levels.

1061
00:48:02,000 --> 00:48:04,719
Speaker 3: So you know, don't Let's not like if he gets

1062
00:48:04,719 --> 00:48:06,680
Speaker 3: off to a really hot start, I hope the Marlins

1063
00:48:06,680 --> 00:48:09,000
Speaker 3: don't bring him right back up and they kind of

1064
00:48:09,040 --> 00:48:11,239
Speaker 3: let him sit and marinate on a good start for

1065
00:48:11,239 --> 00:48:11,600
Speaker 3: a while.

1066
00:48:11,680 --> 00:48:15,000
Speaker 1: You know, Amen to that, all right, fellas the most

1067
00:48:15,080 --> 00:48:18,480
Speaker 1: needed thing for him. Yeah, absolutely, we're gonna wrap it up.

1068
00:48:19,520 --> 00:48:21,879
Speaker 1: If there's any last words. This is definitely the time

1069
00:48:21,960 --> 00:48:24,719
Speaker 1: to say it. All I want to say also is

1070
00:48:24,760 --> 00:48:27,400
Speaker 1: that I know we promised our little Baseball America trivia.

1071
00:48:27,400 --> 00:48:29,319
Speaker 1: We're going to get to that next time. I'm gonna

1072
00:48:29,320 --> 00:48:31,239
Speaker 1: give you a teaser. We might or may not have

1073
00:48:31,280 --> 00:48:34,440
Speaker 1: a Marlins prospect next week. We'll keep you updated through

1074
00:48:34,440 --> 00:48:36,400
Speaker 1: fish stripes. But as always, I kind of want to

1075
00:48:36,480 --> 00:48:37,920
Speaker 1: let you all have the last words. So is there

1076
00:48:37,960 --> 00:48:39,920
Speaker 1: anything left that you think should be said?

1077
00:48:42,360 --> 00:48:48,040
Speaker 2: Watch out for James James Nelson. Another guy, Peyton Culbertson,

1078
00:48:50,080 --> 00:48:52,000
Speaker 2: remember that name. He's in Clinton right now. He's an

1079
00:48:52,040 --> 00:48:54,520
Speaker 2: eighth round draft pick last year. He had a pretty

1080
00:48:54,520 --> 00:48:58,000
Speaker 2: fantastic start last night, and he was pretty under the

1081
00:48:58,040 --> 00:49:00,440
Speaker 2: radar last year. So that's a name to think about

1082
00:49:00,440 --> 00:49:01,200
Speaker 2: going forward this year.

1083
00:49:01,200 --> 00:49:04,640
Speaker 3: As Peyton Culbertson on Nelson, he's got two hits tonight

1084
00:49:04,719 --> 00:49:06,839
Speaker 3: and an RBI and he's sitting three point fifty three

1085
00:49:06,920 --> 00:49:10,879
