I 0:01:37.760 --> 0:01:40.559 know you know. For you, draft season kind of never ends. 0:01:40.920 --> 0:01:43.360 I'm very excited to see you. It feels like baseball 0:01:43.400 --> 0:01:46.760 season is here and upon us. I'm still waiting for 0:01:46.760 --> 0:01:49.920 Pete Alonzo news. But today there's a passing of a 0:01:49.920 --> 0:01:51.720 baseball legend, Bob Yukre, and I just want to mention 0:01:51.760 --> 0:01:53.280 at the top of the show. I imagine all of 0:01:53.320 --> 0:01:57.280 us have some fond memories of Bob. For me, it's 0:01:57.280 --> 0:02:00.800 actually driving around and hearing him call the game and 0:02:00.920 --> 0:02:03.880 for the first time, and it was so weird because 0:02:03.880 --> 0:02:05.760 it felt like I was watching Major League in the car. 0:02:06.080 --> 0:02:08.960 I was in the Milwaukee area and it was pretty wild. 0:02:09.240 --> 0:02:11.360 Welsh Any Bob Yuker memories you want to share before 0:02:11.360 --> 0:02:12.440 the mock draft today. 0:02:12.560 --> 0:02:14.440 I actually always wish I could have met him. I'm 0:02:14.440 --> 0:02:16.880 out here in Arizona in their spring training facility is 0:02:17.120 --> 0:02:18.560 not that far from me, and I go to it 0:02:18.600 --> 0:02:20.960 a decent amount, so like it's not uncommon that I 0:02:20.960 --> 0:02:24.040 would like run into random people. Happened last year. I 0:02:24.120 --> 0:02:25.359 was like at the Padres and was like, Oh, there's 0:02:25.400 --> 0:02:28.840 Jake PV there's Jodeo Nomo, like crazy stuff like that. 0:02:28.880 --> 0:02:32.840 I never got to have that Major League definitely, and 0:02:32.919 --> 0:02:35.120 you know, maybe if you're non Milwaukee like, that's probably 0:02:35.160 --> 0:02:37.720 the biggest piece. I will say, though. Something that stands 0:02:37.720 --> 0:02:40.639 out is there was this video I saw. I want 0:02:40.639 --> 0:02:43.600 to say I saw this year and it was like 0:02:43.720 --> 0:02:48.600 Christian Yelich talking about how important Bob Yuker was, and 0:02:48.639 --> 0:02:50.919 I want to say, there was also like a rookie video. 0:02:51.360 --> 0:02:54.000 I guess what I'm getting at is like the players 0:02:54.800 --> 0:02:58.120 and the excitement they've had about meeting Bob Yuker, how 0:02:58.160 --> 0:02:59.919 important it was. Oh you know what one of them 0:03:00.200 --> 0:03:02.520 I think I remember now. It was when it was 0:03:02.520 --> 0:03:06.600 with Paul Skens going to Milwaukee this year. He got 0:03:06.639 --> 0:03:09.680 to go meet and they introduced Paul Skeins to Bob Yuker, 0:03:09.720 --> 0:03:11.880 and he was like nervous, and it was he was 0:03:11.919 --> 0:03:15.320 super excited. So like that these young players that probably 0:03:15.320 --> 0:03:17.800 didn't actually, you know, like truly like grow up, like 0:03:17.840 --> 0:03:20.160 if I mean, I'm not fifty or sixty like Joe, 0:03:20.400 --> 0:03:23.040 but if I were that old and I had grown 0:03:23.120 --> 0:03:25.000 up my whole life with him, you know, that would 0:03:25.000 --> 0:03:26.600 be even more important. But these young like you know, 0:03:26.639 --> 0:03:28.720 twenty year old, twenty five and thirty year old guys 0:03:28.720 --> 0:03:30.720 that revere him. That stands out to me. 0:03:31.120 --> 0:03:33.480 Kelly Kirby, probably nobody more anxious to turn the page 0:03:33.480 --> 0:03:36.400 to baseball season than you after that Viking's playoff loss? 0:03:36.440 --> 0:03:37.000 Is that correct? 0:03:37.240 --> 0:03:37.840 That is correct? 0:03:37.880 --> 0:03:38.080 Yeah? 0:03:38.400 --> 0:03:39.720 But I have a Bob Bucker story. 0:03:40.480 --> 0:03:41.520 Oh yes, please share it. 0:03:41.640 --> 0:03:44.400 I was nine when Major League came out and my 0:03:44.480 --> 0:03:47.760 parents knew I was so baseball obsessed, so they let 0:03:47.800 --> 0:03:50.119 me watch it, and I thought he was the funniest guy. 0:03:50.200 --> 0:03:52.000 But the part that stuck with me is that I've 0:03:52.080 --> 0:03:54.880 quoted that movie incessantly, and if you've seen it, a 0:03:54.960 --> 0:03:57.560 nine year old should not be quoting that movie incessantly. 0:03:58.280 --> 0:04:01.200 I disagree, I respectfully. I think it's hilarious. I think 0:04:01.200 --> 0:04:04.720 it's adorable, and especially a nine year old girl quoting 0:04:04.760 --> 0:04:06.840 Bob youger. My favorite is when he is he's looking 0:04:06.880 --> 0:04:08.600 for the stats and he's like, I can't find it, 0:04:08.640 --> 0:04:10.680 to hell with it, Like that's my favorite thing. At 0:04:10.680 --> 0:04:13.360 the end of the thing, Joe Rico is sitting there 0:04:13.600 --> 0:04:16.200 in the dark, praying at some point that the Blue 0:04:16.240 --> 0:04:18.760 Jays will extend. Vla Guerrero Junior. I know you're in 0:04:18.800 --> 0:04:21.400 your silent retreat. You've decided to take a moment and 0:04:21.440 --> 0:04:23.400 do the show with us today. Any Yuker stories for 0:04:23.480 --> 0:04:24.760 you at the top of the show before we kick 0:04:24.760 --> 0:04:26.719 things off. I know everybody wants to get to the draft, 0:04:26.760 --> 0:04:29.160 but man, Bob Yucker is like the Sola Baseball. 0:04:29.640 --> 0:04:31.719 I am the youth on the show here, so I 0:04:31.720 --> 0:04:34.000 didn't grow up with Bob Yucker. I didn't see Major 0:04:34.080 --> 0:04:36.159 League when it came out because I wasn't around yet. 0:04:36.400 --> 0:04:39.240 But I have heard quotes from it my entire life. 0:04:39.279 --> 0:04:43.279 It's been one of my more more revered baseball movies. 0:04:43.320 --> 0:04:45.880 Not like all movies, but in terms of sports flicks. 0:04:45.880 --> 0:04:48.320 If you're trying to just laugh your head off for 0:04:48.320 --> 0:04:50.279 a couple hours, Major League is right up there. I 0:04:50.320 --> 0:04:53.720 know that line just outside and he went for the 0:04:53.760 --> 0:04:55.960 corner like my dad uses that line like at least 0:04:56.000 --> 0:04:58.520 once a week. So it's it's a sad one for sure. 0:04:58.560 --> 0:04:59.840 He is a legend of the game. But yeah, even 0:04:59.880 --> 0:05:02.120 though were doing a draft, you have to, you know, 0:05:02.160 --> 0:05:04.479 and when Willie Mays died when we were on leading 0:05:04.520 --> 0:05:06.000 off or you guys were on leading off, and you 0:05:06.040 --> 0:05:08.640 take a moment to acknowledge it because we are doing 0:05:08.640 --> 0:05:12.080 fantasy content, but the actual baseball is the most important part. 0:05:12.120 --> 0:05:12.479 Of course. 0:05:13.160 --> 0:05:15.000 A young guy, by the way, did not do the 0:05:15.040 --> 0:05:18.760 line he did. I was going to say, right, all right, 0:05:18.800 --> 0:05:21.200 all right, that's all right. 0:05:21.240 --> 0:05:22.880 We're gonna haze the young guy the rest of the draft. 0:05:22.880 --> 0:05:25.560 All right again, five y five on the mock draft software, 0:05:25.720 --> 0:05:27.520 We're going to kick things off, just to let everybody 0:05:27.520 --> 0:05:30.280 know where we are here, uh in this draft, in 0:05:30.400 --> 0:05:34.320 terms of our locations. Joe Ricou went Joe pi'sapa and 0:05:34.400 --> 0:05:36.480 he took a top pick. He's at the two spot. 0:05:36.839 --> 0:05:38.680 Then you go a little bit further down. Welsh's at 0:05:38.680 --> 0:05:40.880 one o five. He's always very Cagy, knows exactly where 0:05:40.880 --> 0:05:42.240 he wants to be and what he wants to do. 0:05:42.640 --> 0:05:44.200 He's going to be taking at one o five. So 0:05:44.240 --> 0:05:46.360 clearly he has five guys that he likes and he's 0:05:46.440 --> 0:05:48.520 very happy to take. Kelly, Kirby and I are the 0:05:48.560 --> 0:05:51.200 tough ones around these parts. We're a little bit lower down. 0:05:51.320 --> 0:05:54.800 Kirby at thirteen, Joey p at fifteen. I'm excited to 0:05:54.800 --> 0:05:57.120 start this mock draft. I assume Otani's going to be 0:05:57.120 --> 0:05:59.080 first off the board. So Joe Rico, what are you 0:05:59.120 --> 0:06:01.360 hoping to get here after Otani is gone? 0:06:01.440 --> 0:06:04.200 Well, my thought process was I'll get either Otani or Wit. 0:06:04.360 --> 0:06:06.400 You never know. Sometimes Wit will go first, but I 0:06:06.480 --> 0:06:09.479 will happily headle on. Bobby Wit there at number two, 0:06:09.560 --> 0:06:12.159 settling for the guy who could be number one. Overall, 0:06:12.200 --> 0:06:13.279 not really settling, but I'll take it. 0:06:13.720 --> 0:06:17.200 Poor baby, poor baby settling all right. Bobby Witt goes 0:06:17.240 --> 0:06:19.760 second to a Rico. Then we have Aaron Judge. Paul 0:06:19.839 --> 0:06:23.520 Skeen's going forth ooh lolly, look at that Welsh. You're 0:06:23.600 --> 0:06:24.719 up for one oh five? What do you have? 0:06:25.279 --> 0:06:26.960 Yeah, and I'll point out two. The reason we can 0:06:27.000 --> 0:06:29.039 even do this is because of this software. Not to 0:06:29.080 --> 0:06:31.279 like plug it again, but like you know, fifteen, if 0:06:31.320 --> 0:06:32.880 we had all our listeners, which we are going to 0:06:32.880 --> 0:06:35.039 do Max the season with listeners, no way we could 0:06:35.040 --> 0:06:36.560 do a fifteen team. But we could do four of 0:06:36.640 --> 0:06:40.000 us drafting and then the AI system goes through it. Yeah, 0:06:40.000 --> 0:06:41.480 there are definitely a couple of guys I like here, 0:06:41.560 --> 0:06:45.520 Mooki's a great value. One SODA's a great value. I'm 0:06:45.560 --> 0:06:47.359 going to do this again though, and I did do 0:06:47.440 --> 0:06:50.200 this in a previous mock draft because I've got him higher. 0:06:50.200 --> 0:06:51.960 Elie day la Cruz. I've said, I think there are 0:06:52.000 --> 0:06:55.480 five big guys. If you want to go a great 0:06:55.560 --> 0:06:59.080 production without a position Otani, you want to go all encompassing, 0:06:59.120 --> 0:07:01.080 you go Wit. You want all power, you go Judge, 0:07:01.160 --> 0:07:03.440 you want all the stolen bases, you go Ellie de 0:07:03.520 --> 0:07:05.280 la Cruz. So I'm gonna go with Ellie at the 0:07:05.320 --> 0:07:06.120 five spot. 0:07:05.880 --> 0:07:07.960 All right, So Ellie at the five spot is gone 0:07:08.560 --> 0:07:11.440 before we get to Kelly's pick here too. Just remind everybody. 0:07:11.440 --> 0:07:13.440 We've got one catcher on the roster for a second 0:07:13.440 --> 0:07:16.560 third short. We've got five outfielders a U two, and 0:07:16.600 --> 0:07:19.360 then we have nine pitcher spots. Two of them are 0:07:19.440 --> 0:07:23.760 mandatory RPU, and then we have some open bench spots too. 0:07:23.800 --> 0:07:27.239 I think we're doing six today. So, Kelly Kirby, who's 0:07:27.280 --> 0:07:30.200 the first pick for you? After Crue Dela Cruz, we 0:07:30.280 --> 0:07:34.200 have one Soda Mookie Bets, Jose Ramirez, Kyle Tucker now 0:07:34.240 --> 0:07:37.880 a Chicago Cub, Gunner Henderson, Ronald Acunya, and mister Alvarez. 0:07:37.880 --> 0:07:39.200 At twelve, I was hoping he make it to me. 0:07:39.240 --> 0:07:39.680 He did not. 0:07:40.520 --> 0:07:42.720 I was really hoping he'd make it to me. So 0:07:42.960 --> 0:07:46.000 I am going to take I'm going to take tattoos, 0:07:46.120 --> 0:07:48.480 even though Scooble is very very tempting. 0:07:49.680 --> 0:07:53.280 Yes, he's very tempting, but everybody knows me, knows I 0:07:53.280 --> 0:07:56.600 don't want to take pitching that early. So Tatis goes, 0:07:56.600 --> 0:07:58.480 Scooble goes, that's good, I don't have to worry about it. 0:07:58.640 --> 0:07:59.840 Not gonna have to worry about it, and so. 0:08:00.240 --> 0:08:03.160 Here he goes, that's fine. I'm good, I'm fine, everything's fine, 0:08:03.640 --> 0:08:05.800 all right. So looking at this right here, and because 0:08:05.800 --> 0:08:08.480 of what Joe Rico today, I'm just going to I'm 0:08:08.480 --> 0:08:10.200 gonna do it, Joe. I'm gonna take the guy in 0:08:10.240 --> 0:08:13.560 the contract year, so give me Vlad Guerrero Junior. And 0:08:14.600 --> 0:08:17.160 looking around here, I know the suggestions are telling me 0:08:17.240 --> 0:08:19.320 Corbyn Carroll, but I'm gonna go ahead and be a 0:08:19.320 --> 0:08:21.920 bit of a homer here. I'm gonna take Franciscolden to her. 0:08:21.960 --> 0:08:23.920 I'm still on a high from the Mets being relevant. 0:08:24.280 --> 0:08:26.440 I have to take these moments when they come because 0:08:26.440 --> 0:08:29.520 they don't come very often. So Cormin Carroll very tempting here, 0:08:29.600 --> 0:08:32.240 especially in the extra outfielders. Will I live to regret 0:08:32.240 --> 0:08:34.920 this decision quite possibly? Make sure you tune into the 0:08:34.960 --> 0:08:36.880 rest of the show to find out. All Right after 0:08:36.960 --> 0:08:39.480 I go ahead and select Lindora Corman, Carroll of course 0:08:39.520 --> 0:08:42.160 goes right off the board walky penguin, you're up next. 0:08:42.200 --> 0:08:42.600 What do you have? 0:08:43.880 --> 0:08:45.960 Well, I was really hoping Lindor would fall because and 0:08:46.000 --> 0:08:48.400 I had a small brain freeze that I forgot that 0:08:48.440 --> 0:08:50.520 you were a Mets fan, so obviously that was gonna happen. 0:08:50.520 --> 0:08:51.760 But I thought you would think that would go the 0:08:51.760 --> 0:08:52.160 other way. 0:08:53.040 --> 0:08:56.120 Yeah, look, Joe, I try to forget a lot of 0:08:56.120 --> 0:09:00.200 things about Joe, so I would say this one's kinds 0:09:00.200 --> 0:09:04.040 tough because Julio is currently at the top, and I 0:09:04.240 --> 0:09:05.720 go back and further, I think I don't remember which 0:09:05.720 --> 0:09:09.040 one of you I had a conversation with where about 0:09:09.040 --> 0:09:11.360 whether or not Julio and Corbin. I think it was 0:09:11.400 --> 0:09:15.520 Welsh whether they were bus and I truly don't believe 0:09:15.520 --> 0:09:18.320 that he is. But I also, in the same voice, 0:09:18.400 --> 0:09:20.600 do not want to have him on my team. So 0:09:20.880 --> 0:09:24.719 I guess that's saying something. I'm actually I'm gonna go 0:09:24.760 --> 0:09:27.520 a little bit off and I'm gonna take Jared Duran 0:09:28.760 --> 0:09:31.600 because I really really like I like his makeup, I 0:09:31.640 --> 0:09:33.559 like how he can contribute in five, and I trust 0:09:33.600 --> 0:09:34.880 him just a bit more than Churio. 0:09:35.080 --> 0:09:38.200 So amazing because Duran last year was one of our 0:09:38.200 --> 0:09:40.920 favorite like sleeper guys quote unquote that was like, look, 0:09:40.920 --> 0:09:42.679 this guy can be a league winner if he performs 0:09:42.679 --> 0:09:45.240 as well as he possibly can, and he did last year, 0:09:45.240 --> 0:09:46.480 and now to see him going in the second round 0:09:46.559 --> 0:09:49.000 is kind of crazy. It's great Julio goes right after 0:09:49.000 --> 0:09:52.319 a four then at two oh five, Bryce Harper, Freddie Freeman, Jackson, 0:09:52.360 --> 0:09:56.320 Curio Zach Wheeler, the third pitcher off the board. Trey 0:09:56.400 --> 0:10:00.480 Turner goes next. Then Ka tell Marte right before the Welsh, 0:10:00.520 --> 0:10:02.960 All right, Welsh, what do you have and what are 0:10:02.960 --> 0:10:04.959 you hoping that the bots may be give you? Here? 0:10:05.240 --> 0:10:07.120 I will say I'm a little bit. I am actually 0:10:07.120 --> 0:10:09.760 a little bit bummed here because Jared Durand specifically was 0:10:09.760 --> 0:10:11.760 a player I thought could fall back to me, because 0:10:11.760 --> 0:10:14.120 I did not think some of the guys I would 0:10:14.120 --> 0:10:16.480 have taken Trey Turner obviously, I wanted Churio or I 0:10:16.520 --> 0:10:19.880 wanted Harper. So like the Duran thing really screwed me here. 0:10:19.800 --> 0:10:20.480 At ten seconds. 0:10:21.160 --> 0:10:22.760 Yeah, there's a couple of ways that I can go. 0:10:23.120 --> 0:10:27.040 I'm gonna do this. Oh am, I gonna do this. Yes, 0:10:27.160 --> 0:10:29.520 I'm gonna do this. Okay, I got it, I got it. 0:10:29.679 --> 0:10:31.679 I'm gonna take my picture and I because I know 0:10:31.760 --> 0:10:34.319 I got a Rico, Yeah, exactly, I got a Rico there. 0:10:34.720 --> 0:10:36.199 I want to do it. Sure, I want to get 0:10:36.400 --> 0:10:39.000 Garrett Crochet. Garrett crow Shape gonna be at the near 0:10:39.080 --> 0:10:42.320 tippy top of strikeouts. There's tons of wins support him. 0:10:42.320 --> 0:10:44.600 A little bit worried about where the offense or where 0:10:44.640 --> 0:10:47.840 the ballpark on the hitter side is going to affect him. 0:10:48.200 --> 0:10:50.719 But it's ridiculous stuff. Plus, and I know he was 0:10:50.840 --> 0:10:52.640 not going to come back to me. He's like, my 0:10:52.920 --> 0:10:54.839 sp I, why don't they have him at three or 0:10:54.880 --> 0:10:57.319 four right now? So you know, I had to get 0:10:57.400 --> 0:10:59.080 him there, even though I would have preferred to kind 0:10:59.080 --> 0:11:00.440 of wait a tiny bit, but I didn't love any 0:11:00.440 --> 0:11:02.719 of the picks around me. So Joe suck it. 0:11:03.080 --> 0:11:05.959 Yeah, there you go. And and just for the everybody 0:11:06.000 --> 0:11:08.520 listening here, if he means a Rico that you know, 0:11:08.720 --> 0:11:10.280 just oh yeah, make sure we have the right Joe 0:11:10.360 --> 0:11:13.480 that you're talking trash too, Jesse Chisholm, that's right, Jess. 0:11:13.440 --> 0:11:14.880 Just do it with me. 0:11:14.960 --> 0:11:17.959 Di Rico one, two three, Look it all right, let's. 0:11:17.760 --> 0:11:20.400 Go to the next one, jas Chisholm. Then Mandy Machado, 0:11:20.559 --> 0:11:23.360 then Joe Rico. You are up here at two fourteen, 0:11:23.679 --> 0:11:25.760 and it seems only fitting you take one of Welsh's guys. 0:11:26.320 --> 0:11:28.000 Yeah, I mean at that point of the draft. He 0:11:28.400 --> 0:11:30.520 I mean, if you heard me, you heard my reaction. 0:11:30.640 --> 0:11:32.679 I wanted Crochet. Well, I wasn't going to let him 0:11:32.679 --> 0:11:36.439 get back to him. I think Merrill. Maybe it's a 0:11:36.600 --> 0:11:38.600 little it feels a little weird seeing in the second 0:11:38.720 --> 0:11:41.080 round after just one season, but he was so great 0:11:41.120 --> 0:11:43.120 he got better as the year went on. All the 0:11:43.240 --> 0:11:47.120 data is fantastic, the lineup is good, there's nothing, there's 0:11:47.160 --> 0:11:48.560 nothing to fault him for it. So as much as 0:11:48.559 --> 0:11:50.880 it might feel weird, I think Merril is worthy of 0:11:50.960 --> 0:11:52.520 that back end of the second round. So happy to 0:11:52.559 --> 0:11:53.040 take him there. 0:11:54.240 --> 0:11:56.160 All right, So Jackson Merrill goes in at the turn 0:11:56.240 --> 0:11:58.840 here at two fifteen, Chris Sale, followed by Matt Olsen 0:11:58.880 --> 0:12:01.679 in the third round. Begin Austin Riley A three zero 0:12:01.679 --> 0:12:03.920 two to you, Joe Aricos. So you got your third basemen, 0:12:03.960 --> 0:12:07.960 your short stop, and another shortstop eligible slash outfielder here 0:12:08.000 --> 0:12:08.360 in Merril. 0:12:08.480 --> 0:12:10.920 Yeah, Riley. I mean, I'm kind of just banking on 0:12:11.000 --> 0:12:13.240 that bounce back. That data was still mostly really good 0:12:13.320 --> 0:12:15.840 last year. I'm hoping that we get a healthy Braves team. 0:12:15.880 --> 0:12:18.040 Could It seem like everybody was hurt or disappointed last year, 0:12:18.120 --> 0:12:20.319 But the second round player usually who I'm getting in 0:12:20.360 --> 0:12:22.400 the third, So I'll take that slight discount off a 0:12:22.440 --> 0:12:23.200 down year for him. 0:12:24.360 --> 0:12:26.440 Taking the discount. By the way, I think the walkout 0:12:26.520 --> 0:12:28.720 song for Garat Crochet should be the sweater song by Weezer. 0:12:28.800 --> 0:12:31.480 Anyone agree, disagree? Pull us rand does I walk away? 0:12:31.600 --> 0:12:36.760 I don't know if you want to destroy my sweater? Whoa, whoa, 0:12:36.880 --> 0:12:39.480 All right, let's move on. Ozzie Albi's goes next, then 0:12:39.520 --> 0:12:42.439 Willia Doms goes next, then Raffaeld Dever's to the Welsh. 0:12:42.440 --> 0:12:44.920 So good value there for Devers five. 0:12:44.960 --> 0:12:47.240 I'm stoked. That's who I was gonna. I was considered 0:12:47.280 --> 0:12:49.800 taking in the second round. Olsen was there. I'm not 0:12:49.920 --> 0:12:52.200 quite as big there, but Dever's Riley or who are 0:12:52.200 --> 0:12:55.199 staring at? So absolute perfect scenario for me. I get 0:12:55.240 --> 0:12:57.079 the picture without getting sniped, and I got the guy 0:12:57.120 --> 0:13:00.240 that I wanted in general in Raphael Devers. So I'm 0:13:00.240 --> 0:13:01.000 pretty stoked about it. 0:13:01.120 --> 0:13:03.560 Wonky's got a couple seconds. Make your pick, Wonky here, 0:13:03.880 --> 0:13:07.400 Corey Seeger goes that, Garret Cole Logan, Gilbert Contrarist, the 0:13:07.480 --> 0:13:12.280 A three ten Altwove Corbyn Burns Schwarber, and then Wonky 0:13:12.320 --> 0:13:14.520 Penguin going picture. Let's talk about Michael King. 0:13:15.600 --> 0:13:17.640 I love Michael King, and I do not like every 0:13:17.679 --> 0:13:21.679 other picture that was around him. When they're telling like 0:13:21.800 --> 0:13:25.200 Blake Snell, George Kirby, I'm like mm, but I wanted 0:13:25.240 --> 0:13:28.520 a picture, and I really like King's makeup. I like 0:13:28.920 --> 0:13:31.760 his underlying numbers. When I was writing in his profile, 0:13:31.880 --> 0:13:33.360 it was just like, oh, yeah, I think I should 0:13:33.360 --> 0:13:37.360 target this guy. And so yeah, I'm actually really pretty 0:13:37.400 --> 0:13:39.559 excited for him to be my sp one in a 0:13:39.600 --> 0:13:41.840 fifteen team league, which I have to keep reminding myself. 0:13:42.160 --> 0:13:44.240 And also I was laughing at the idea that Arico 0:13:44.280 --> 0:13:46.640 would have had any idea what the Sweater song was 0:13:46.720 --> 0:13:48.360 since it came out in like nineteen ninety four. 0:13:48.559 --> 0:13:52.400 Come on, Weezer was a band in the nineties. Yeah, yeah, 0:13:52.400 --> 0:13:54.720 it's a band in the nineties. Look, they had albums 0:13:54.760 --> 0:13:56.559 and they were colored blue green. 0:13:56.760 --> 0:13:57.959 I am not uncultured. 0:13:58.000 --> 0:14:01.120 All right, Well it's better than that Ericson. I explained 0:14:01.200 --> 0:14:02.920 to him, like who Kurk Cobain was one time? 0:14:02.960 --> 0:14:04.480 It was a whole bay, I'm gonna have a whole 0:14:06.840 --> 0:14:07.400 not an anition. 0:14:07.840 --> 0:14:10.760 Ah, that is my favorite Weezer, you know, c Joe, 0:14:10.880 --> 0:14:13.320 you just got some points there because Pinkerton top notch 0:14:13.400 --> 0:14:16.320 the underrated album. All right. So after Walkee took Michael King, 0:14:16.400 --> 0:14:18.680 another one of our favorite pieces from last year. Look 0:14:18.679 --> 0:14:21.160 at that Duran Michael Kinging second round, third round, O 0:14:21.360 --> 0:14:24.200 we cj. Abrams goes next to three fourteen. Then I 0:14:24.280 --> 0:14:26.560 double dipped in pitching. That's right. It's a fifteen team 0:14:26.640 --> 0:14:28.680 league and I want to get some durable starting pitchers. 0:14:28.720 --> 0:14:30.840 I want Dylan Caeesar goes out there, makes thirty starts 0:14:30.840 --> 0:14:33.920 every single year. Nobody does that, guy does? I want 0:14:33.960 --> 0:14:36.320 him on my team. And then oh, man, I had 0:14:36.400 --> 0:14:39.880 to draft Blake Snell. Come on, man, I gotta be 0:14:40.000 --> 0:14:42.200 on Joe's team. He's all the Dodgers now, Like that's 0:14:42.280 --> 0:14:45.080 just ridiculous. So it was between him and Kirby. It 0:14:45.160 --> 0:14:46.840 was a tough sell. At the end of the day, 0:14:46.880 --> 0:14:48.960 it's roto categories. I want the k's and I want 0:14:49.000 --> 0:14:52.160 the w's And look, man, still waiting for Seattle to 0:14:52.200 --> 0:14:54.440 figure out that offense. I know there's still off season left. 0:14:54.720 --> 0:14:56.680 I don't care. Pete Alonzo goes next to four to 0:14:56.720 --> 0:14:58.440 H two and then back to U Kelly, you took 0:14:58.480 --> 0:15:00.120 another pitcher, Yeah, I. 0:15:00.200 --> 0:15:03.320 Took a Yamamoto because he's also pitching for the Dodgers 0:15:03.440 --> 0:15:05.720 and if he's able to stay healthy right, which is 0:15:05.840 --> 0:15:08.520 kind of the question for everyone, but his numbers last 0:15:08.560 --> 0:15:11.640 year were solid until he went down, and I don't know. 0:15:11.680 --> 0:15:13.640 I just feel like a really good fantasy philosophy is 0:15:13.720 --> 0:15:16.080 just draft all the Dodgers and then once they're all gone, 0:15:16.520 --> 0:15:19.040 then then go for the next group. But yeah, so 0:15:19.560 --> 0:15:21.880 and I like having him paired with King. I guess 0:15:21.920 --> 0:15:23.560 I'm gonna go West Coast Pitchers this year. 0:15:23.760 --> 0:15:26.640 So can I set the draft Wizard strategy to draft 0:15:26.760 --> 0:15:29.280 more Dodgers? That would be probably a good idea. Marcus 0:15:29.320 --> 0:15:31.480 Simeon goes next than George Kirby at four oh five, 0:15:31.560 --> 0:15:36.000 four to oh six, Castillo, than Reagan's Michael Harris. Overrated 0:15:36.920 --> 0:15:39.280 Mark Vientos goes next, look at my dude four oh nine, 0:15:39.480 --> 0:15:43.480 then Royce Lewis right before Welsh Welsh, mister closer. There 0:15:43.520 --> 0:15:45.920 you go, you started the run. Let's talk about Emmanuel 0:15:45.960 --> 0:15:46.280 class A. 0:15:46.960 --> 0:15:49.120 Yeah, Class as a pretty easy pick there, especially in 0:15:49.160 --> 0:15:49.840 the fourth round. 0:15:49.920 --> 0:15:50.520 This is rodo. 0:15:50.600 --> 0:15:52.440 We're not looking to punt. Had to have. I mean 0:15:52.480 --> 0:15:54.480 you can if you want people like to experiment with it. 0:15:54.600 --> 0:15:58.120 Had to head as a much higher propensity of punting 0:15:58.160 --> 0:16:00.280 and saves would be the territory. But this is a 0:16:00.320 --> 0:16:02.200 saves league, this is a fifteen team rot You're not 0:16:02.280 --> 0:16:04.840 going to do it fourth round. Yeah, it is a 0:16:04.960 --> 0:16:07.840 smash smash pick for Manuel Classe. 0:16:07.840 --> 0:16:11.280 All right, so Classe goes next. After that we have 0:16:11.480 --> 0:16:13.600 Jacob de gromgo look at the buy back in on 0:16:13.720 --> 0:16:17.680 team four, Anthony Santander maybe soon to be Blue Jay, 0:16:17.720 --> 0:16:20.560 who knows? And then Joe Rico did Welsh pressure you 0:16:20.560 --> 0:16:22.280 into taking a closer? This is a safe place you 0:16:22.320 --> 0:16:22.880 could tell us. 0:16:23.680 --> 0:16:25.640 He did a little bit. But it's also a really 0:16:25.760 --> 0:16:28.280 nice value on Devin Williams. I've done a lot of 0:16:28.440 --> 0:16:32.360 fifteen team drafts and he's usually a third round pick, 0:16:32.440 --> 0:16:34.760 somewhere in the middle of the third, even sometimes late second. 0:16:34.880 --> 0:16:38.760 So end of the fourth I'll take it absolutely, no question. 0:16:39.480 --> 0:16:42.000 Bryce Miller at the turn of four fifteen, five oh one, 0:16:42.280 --> 0:16:44.520 Pablo Lopez. Then you took Wyat Langford, one of my 0:16:44.560 --> 0:16:48.960 favorite pieces to invest in. Fifth round. It's pretty good value, Joe. Yeah. 0:16:49.040 --> 0:16:51.160 For Langford, I mean I wrote him up the other 0:16:51.240 --> 0:16:54.080 day just on my own site. I mean, the battle 0:16:54.200 --> 0:16:55.920 was fantastic, and I kind of you guys at the 0:16:55.960 --> 0:16:59.480 football guys, he's like the Marvin Harrison junior a fantasy baseball. 0:16:59.560 --> 0:17:02.400 The expects were so high and everybody expected the world 0:17:02.840 --> 0:17:04.400 and even though he put up a good season, he's 0:17:04.440 --> 0:17:07.720 still viewed as out of a disappointment in some people's eyes. 0:17:07.800 --> 0:17:09.920 So I think that he could even push up higher 0:17:09.960 --> 0:17:12.480 and higher, even into the third round. But the beginning 0:17:12.520 --> 0:17:15.119 of the fifth no question. Why at Langford is a 0:17:15.160 --> 0:17:15.600 great pick? 0:17:16.280 --> 0:17:20.040
