But I've got a very exciting episode 0:00:16.560 --> 0:00:19.880 installed for you here for this Dynasty podcast. James Anderson 0:00:19.920 --> 0:00:22.120 from Roda Wire is going to be joining me, one 0:00:22.120 --> 0:00:25.720 of the premier Dynasty voices in the space, and we're 0:00:25.720 --> 0:00:29.440 going to be talking about deeper Dynasty targets. Now, this 0:00:29.520 --> 0:00:32.400 series has led us up into the top one hundred. 0:00:32.880 --> 0:00:35.280 We're now one hundred and even a little bit further. 0:00:35.400 --> 0:00:37.920 So you know, how deep are you really going? Well, 0:00:37.920 --> 0:00:39.680 this isn't like deep deep deep, but this is when 0:00:39.680 --> 0:00:42.479 you're getting outside the top one hundred. Deeper Dynasty targets 0:00:42.479 --> 0:00:44.720 you're going to want to pay attention to. And as 0:00:44.720 --> 0:00:47.200 we've always said, these guys can be to different varying 0:00:47.240 --> 0:00:49.440 degrees whether you are you are playing in like a 0:00:49.440 --> 0:00:53.080 win now or you're simply trying to rebuild. We're going 0:00:53.120 --> 0:00:55.320 to talk a lot about similar strategies we've been talking 0:00:55.320 --> 0:00:58.160 about in the construction and the building of Dynasty. And 0:00:58.200 --> 0:01:00.400 as many people know, I have a long history James 0:01:00.440 --> 0:01:03.120 James and I have done many, many prospect podcasts, of 0:01:03.160 --> 0:01:06.240 this one will be solely dedicated to Dynasty and a 0:01:06.280 --> 0:01:08.200 little bit deeper. So I think you guys are going 0:01:08.240 --> 0:01:09.480 to enjoy that. We're going to do that here in 0:01:09.480 --> 0:01:11.360 a second. But before we get into it, I do 0:01:11.440 --> 0:01:13.760 want to tell you guys about Fantasy Pros and the 0:01:13.800 --> 0:01:16.520 premier tools that they've got.

All Right, 0:02:04.120 --> 0:02:06.400 we're gonna get into the episode. We got a lot 0:02:06.440 --> 0:02:09.240 to talk about. So here he is from RODA Wire 0:02:09.400 --> 0:02:14.000 Real j R. Anderson, James Anderson talking some Dynasty with me. James, 0:02:14.040 --> 0:02:14.760 what's up, buddy? 0:02:14.960 --> 0:02:17.400 Thanks? He haming Man, looking forward to Dynasty? 0:02:18.160 --> 0:02:22.120 Is your specialty done? Lots of have different variations of leagues, 0:02:22.200 --> 0:02:24.919 and you play in some of the big hardcore ones, 0:02:24.960 --> 0:02:28.240 so you're definitely the premier guy to talk about. And 0:02:28.400 --> 0:02:31.000 when we get outside the top one hundred, I very 0:02:31.120 --> 0:02:34.040 loosely use the idea of like deeper dynasty targets. But 0:02:34.360 --> 0:02:37.080 you know we've talked about in these episodes, construction of 0:02:37.160 --> 0:02:41.560 dynasty is just it's very nuanced of like you new draft, 0:02:41.560 --> 0:02:43.280 who are you? Are you a win? Now? Are you 0:02:43.760 --> 0:02:46.200 kind of towing both sides? You playing for the future. 0:02:46.720 --> 0:02:48.959 Not everything is equal, but outside the top one hundred, 0:02:49.000 --> 0:02:51.560 things just open up. And we've been focusing on ranks 0:02:51.600 --> 0:02:55.240 and that's kind of the unique thing about this entirety 0:02:55.320 --> 0:02:58.160 is everything just opens up as far as values go. 0:02:58.320 --> 0:03:00.920 So I've taken a look at some your dynasty ranks 0:03:00.919 --> 0:03:03.640 some of mine, and picked apart some players that go 0:03:03.720 --> 0:03:05.440 a little bit deeper when we get outside the top 0:03:05.480 --> 0:03:07.720 one hundred to talk about. And the first one I 0:03:07.720 --> 0:03:10.280 wanted to bring up was, actually, I believe he's number 0:03:10.320 --> 0:03:15.040 one hundred for you, Hassun Kim, who was a first 0:03:15.080 --> 0:03:17.440 year disappointment from a couple of years ago and then 0:03:17.560 --> 0:03:20.600 absolutely blew up this past year and has kind of 0:03:20.639 --> 0:03:23.560 redefined his overall value. But I think there are still 0:03:23.720 --> 0:03:27.840 major questions about who is Hasung Kim from a year 0:03:27.840 --> 0:03:31.440 to year basis, and how do we value Hassung Kim 0:03:31.720 --> 0:03:34.840 for the foreseeable future. Twenty eight years old, coming off 0:03:34.880 --> 0:03:38.720 of a seventeen homer, thirty eight stolen based season, sub 0:03:38.960 --> 0:03:41.960 twenty K percentage, so he teeters right at the top 0:03:41.960 --> 0:03:44.160 one hundred space and dynasty. So talk to me about 0:03:44.160 --> 0:03:45.600 Hassung Kim and how you value him. 0:03:45.760 --> 0:03:47.320 Yeah, I like Kim. 0:03:47.840 --> 0:03:50.520 He's got I think he's got a really high floor 0:03:50.640 --> 0:03:53.960 because of how good of a defender he is, and 0:03:54.440 --> 0:03:56.240 you know, you just you kind of know that he's 0:03:56.280 --> 0:04:00.880 going to be playing pretty much every day somewhere on 0:04:00.960 --> 0:04:03.560 the diamond because of that defense and his ability to 0:04:03.640 --> 0:04:04.400 kind of move around. 0:04:05.320 --> 0:04:06.800 I think last. 0:04:06.480 --> 0:04:10.400 Offseason was the time to get Kim in dynasty leagues, 0:04:10.440 --> 0:04:13.400 like obviously, but like I don't think now is the 0:04:13.440 --> 0:04:17.440 time to acquire Kim, you know, I think that there 0:04:17.480 --> 0:04:23.239 are other players like Andres Jimenez with the Guardians where 0:04:24.000 --> 0:04:26.520 they just they didn't have quite as loud of a 0:04:26.640 --> 0:04:29.400 year this past year and are a little under the Raider, 0:04:29.480 --> 0:04:31.159 but they kind of give you the same type of thing. 0:04:32.360 --> 0:04:34.120 Just kind of a lot of guys like this, especially 0:04:34.160 --> 0:04:36.800 at second base and short step, where it's just you 0:04:36.839 --> 0:04:40.160 know you're getting with the new rules and everything, you're 0:04:40.200 --> 0:04:44.520 hoping for around thirty steals and then double digit homers, 0:04:44.520 --> 0:04:46.960 but you're not exactly sure how many homers you're getting. 0:04:47.600 --> 0:04:49.840 And so I think like of that group of players, 0:04:50.400 --> 0:04:55.159 Kim might have the most trade value, right or like 0:04:55.200 --> 0:04:57.000 you'd have to trade the most to acquire him, just 0:04:57.040 --> 0:05:00.440 based off how big his year was last year. So 0:05:00.760 --> 0:05:02.280 you know, I like the floor. I think he's a 0:05:02.279 --> 0:05:06.280 great guy to have, but I do think this might 0:05:06.360 --> 0:05:09.280 be a career best fantasy season that. 0:05:09.320 --> 0:05:12.040 He also, Yeah, it's also interesting like if you take 0:05:12.080 --> 0:05:15.200 a look at like guys that steal thirty bases and 0:05:15.279 --> 0:05:18.520 also can give you fifteen plus homers. You usually don't 0:05:18.560 --> 0:05:21.800 see those guys outside the top one hundred Redraft or Dynasty, 0:05:21.880 --> 0:05:24.360 it's kind of few and far between. Dynasty it opens 0:05:24.400 --> 0:05:27.080 up because now you can throw them in these pools 0:05:27.080 --> 0:05:30.000 of these prospects that could be here or there. And 0:05:30.200 --> 0:05:33.160 I think that's what makes him kind of fascinating. How 0:05:33.200 --> 0:05:36.239 are you also, especially in Dynasty, I think we're tackling 0:05:36.279 --> 0:05:39.440 some of this in Redraft. How are you approaching the 0:05:39.560 --> 0:05:43.760 uptick and stolen bases? I think a relatively common thing 0:05:43.839 --> 0:05:46.279 for a lot of people is like, okay, well stolen 0:05:46.279 --> 0:05:49.279 bases have ticked up, so premium power. That's the thing 0:05:49.279 --> 0:05:51.480 that has to be a little bit more of a 0:05:52.080 --> 0:05:55.320 target here. You look at thirty stolen bases outside the 0:05:55.360 --> 0:05:58.280 top one hundred, and people would you know, flock over it. 0:05:58.320 --> 0:06:02.240 But are you maybe downgrading stolen bases a tiny bit 0:06:02.279 --> 0:06:04.960 in Dynasty or do you still think there's there as 0:06:05.000 --> 0:06:08.159 as valuable as ever, especially when paired with like a 0:06:08.240 --> 0:06:11.960 solid average and serviceable homers. You know, over fifteen homers 0:06:12.040 --> 0:06:12.880 is like very doable. 0:06:13.160 --> 0:06:16.799 I think stolen bases are They've always been my least 0:06:17.240 --> 0:06:21.279 coveted of the five hitting stats in Dynasty, just because 0:06:21.320 --> 0:06:23.760 they don't correlate the same way the other ones. 0:06:23.800 --> 0:06:23.920 Do. 0:06:25.200 --> 0:06:26.880 You know, when you hit a home run, you're also 0:06:26.920 --> 0:06:29.880 getting the run in the RBI. Obviously it's helping your 0:06:29.880 --> 0:06:31.960 batting average. Whereas you know, a lot of the guys 0:06:31.960 --> 0:06:33.880 that steal a bunch of like I have zero interest 0:06:33.960 --> 0:06:37.840 in like Aestuariuizan Dynasty, for instance, But once you get 0:06:37.880 --> 0:06:39.720 into the kind of like the guys that are stealing 0:06:39.760 --> 0:06:43.839 bases and helping your average and hitting double legit home runs, like, 0:06:43.920 --> 0:06:47.280 obviously those are great players to have several of on 0:06:47.320 --> 0:06:50.400 your roster. And I, you know, redraft Dynasty doesn't really 0:06:50.440 --> 0:06:52.839 matter what it is. I like, I always want to 0:06:52.880 --> 0:06:56.520 be averaging double digit steals from my middle infield spots, 0:06:56.560 --> 0:06:59.960 from my outfield spots. That doesn't mean you can't find 0:07:00.200 --> 0:07:03.240 room for like a Corey Seeger or a Nick Cassianos 0:07:03.240 --> 0:07:05.039 type of guy. But like, if you're if you're going 0:07:05.120 --> 0:07:07.400 to start Corey Seger, I want to be getting extra 0:07:07.480 --> 0:07:11.240 solen bases from like maybe my third basement, or I 0:07:11.280 --> 0:07:13.400 want to be getting you know, one of those guys 0:07:13.440 --> 0:07:17.440 like Kyle Tucker or Huiar Rodriguez, Cordin Carrol in the 0:07:17.480 --> 0:07:19.320 first round, so that I'm getting just a ton of 0:07:19.320 --> 0:07:20.520 steals to open that up. 0:07:20.680 --> 0:07:23.760 There's also like there's so many middle infielders whatever you 0:07:23.800 --> 0:07:25.920 want to call it, Like Hassun Kim definitely has some 0:07:26.240 --> 0:07:29.560 position flexibility. Should be a short second third still, at 0:07:29.640 --> 0:07:31.520 least that's where early fan tracks is. I haven't gone 0:07:31.520 --> 0:07:33.440 to look at the positional stuff, but there's like so 0:07:33.600 --> 0:07:37.120 many in Dynasty or Redraft shortstops from the seegers, the 0:07:37.160 --> 0:07:40.320 lindoors to banking back on O'Neill cruises, to adding Matt 0:07:40.400 --> 0:07:42.960 mcclein's in, and then you get you know, the prosly 0:07:43.120 --> 0:07:46.640 Jackson holiday and stuff like that. We're doing a we're 0:07:46.960 --> 0:07:50.520 undertaking currently this Dynasty mock draft that we're doing with 0:07:50.560 --> 0:07:53.520 the tool Shed guys. Rounds eight through ten there were 0:07:53.600 --> 0:07:56.840 five total middle infielders taken, which I thought was interesting. 0:07:56.880 --> 0:08:00.800 Hassun Kim was in there. There's one process beck Jet Williams, 0:08:00.800 --> 0:08:03.200 who I know you love, a couple older guys, and 0:08:03.240 --> 0:08:06.040 then the next guy wanted to bring up Bryson Stott, 0:08:06.040 --> 0:08:09.120 who Bryson Stott actually went higher than everybody I just 0:08:09.200 --> 0:08:13.320 mentioned Hassan Kim, Swanson Bogart's Jet Williams. He went higher, 0:08:13.320 --> 0:08:16.880 he went in the eighth round. How do you compare that, 0:08:16.960 --> 0:08:20.560 maybe a Bryson Stott who did similar things as Hassan 0:08:20.680 --> 0:08:24.120 Kim and a little bit younger. Thirty one stolen bases 0:08:24.200 --> 0:08:27.240 fifteen homers, hit two eighty, which was even better even 0:08:27.400 --> 0:08:31.320 lower strikeout percentage. But I think there are real questions 0:08:31.320 --> 0:08:34.360 about the power. Steamer projection still have them at fifteen 0:08:34.400 --> 0:08:36.840 homers though, but the stolen base is coming down fifteen 0:08:36.840 --> 0:08:41.400 to twenty Steamer projection this year. Hassan Kim versus Bryson Stott. 0:08:41.120 --> 0:08:43.600 For you, I mean, I think they're basically the same guy. 0:08:43.960 --> 0:08:47.520 I just you know, whichever one I guess is I 0:08:48.400 --> 0:08:51.800 will not, like in a Redrafter Dynasty league, like if 0:08:51.840 --> 0:08:55.680 both those guys are available, like if you've got you know, 0:08:56.440 --> 0:08:59.880 Andresa Menez, like the Tommy Edmond type's all still available, 0:09:00.520 --> 0:09:02.240 I'm not going to be the one that takes the 0:09:02.280 --> 0:09:06.360 first guy just because it's it's just a it's a 0:09:06.440 --> 0:09:09.000 it's a combination of stats that I don't think is 0:09:09.040 --> 0:09:12.200 incredibly unique. It's it's valuable, but there's multiple guys at 0:09:12.200 --> 0:09:13.959 the same position that kind of give you the same thing. 0:09:14.000 --> 0:09:16.200 So I just don't want to necessarily take the first guy. 0:09:16.240 --> 0:09:19.080 But very similar story with him in Dynasty. Just the 0:09:19.160 --> 0:09:21.679 defense gives him such a high floor. You know, you 0:09:21.720 --> 0:09:24.440 love that you're getting the speed without him taking a 0:09:24.480 --> 0:09:27.640 ton of other stats off the table. But I do 0:09:27.720 --> 0:09:30.439 think you know, last offseason was the season to buy 0:09:30.480 --> 0:09:31.360 an on Bryson Staff. 0:09:31.600 --> 0:09:33.560 Yeah, and the thing I would throw with Bryson maybe 0:09:33.600 --> 0:09:35.880 two years younger. Just you know, if you're taking a 0:09:35.880 --> 0:09:38.319 look and you want to pair those values outside the 0:09:38.360 --> 0:09:42.560 top one hundred. This also is why it was very 0:09:42.559 --> 0:09:45.040 appropriate to have you on here as well. Opens up 0:09:45.160 --> 0:09:47.679 the prospect conversation even more. I think there's a lot 0:09:47.679 --> 0:09:51.000 of people that get very finicky about taking prospects inside 0:09:51.040 --> 0:09:53.280 the top one hundred of Dynasty or further by the way, 0:09:53.280 --> 0:09:55.200 there's plenty of people that are just like, not, just 0:09:55.200 --> 0:09:57.480 give me a redraft list. That's how I'm gonna attack Dynasty. 0:09:57.640 --> 0:09:59.520 You get outside the top one hundred. I think this 0:09:59.679 --> 0:10:03.520 open up even more. There are two very fascinating players 0:10:03.520 --> 0:10:07.760 that I would want invested in out just outside your 0:10:07.760 --> 0:10:10.880 top one hundred, and these guys with playing time this year. 0:10:11.000 --> 0:10:13.080 Could this could be one of those things You've said 0:10:13.080 --> 0:10:14.920 this twice now you're like, hey, this is the time 0:10:14.960 --> 0:10:17.000 to buy in on this guy. This might be the 0:10:17.040 --> 0:10:18.719 time to buy in on these guys because I think 0:10:18.720 --> 0:10:21.240 their values are lower than where you have them rank. 0:10:21.760 --> 0:10:26.240 Kyle Manzardo and Kobe Mayo two great young bats to 0:10:26.240 --> 0:10:28.400 bet on. Manzarto with a bigger name out here in 0:10:28.440 --> 0:10:31.320 the AFL, Kobe Mayo with one of the sneaky and 0:10:31.360 --> 0:10:33.120 that's not even sneaky but unless you like really pay 0:10:33.160 --> 0:10:36.240 attention to it, just insanely good season across the board. 0:10:36.600 --> 0:10:39.840 Talk to me about valuing these guys right outside the 0:10:39.840 --> 0:10:44.120 top one hundred and fitting them on more win now teams. 0:10:44.440 --> 0:10:46.520 Yeah, you know, I think this is a really good 0:10:46.800 --> 0:10:50.120 season to trade for Kobe Mayo specifically of those two, 0:10:50.440 --> 0:10:54.440 because he doesn't have the clear path to playing time 0:10:54.559 --> 0:10:58.480 like Kyle Manzardo. So whoever has Kobe Mayo in Dynasty 0:10:58.559 --> 0:11:01.439 right now, I'm sure they love his bat and they're 0:11:01.480 --> 0:11:03.880 they're high on him and everything, but they don't know 0:11:03.960 --> 0:11:06.640 exactly what type of production they're getting from him in 0:11:06.679 --> 0:11:11.480 twenty twenty four. So I think buying Kobe Mayo before 0:11:12.160 --> 0:11:15.800 there's like a clear spot for him. I mean, I 0:11:15.840 --> 0:11:22.720 am very confident that Baltimore will be sniffing around consolidation trades. 0:11:23.000 --> 0:11:25.200 That doesn't mean they'll be able to find one, Like 0:11:25.320 --> 0:11:28.720 they're not going to just give Ryan Mountcastle away, but 0:11:28.880 --> 0:11:31.960 like I think they would love to trade, you know, 0:11:32.000 --> 0:11:36.120 a Ramon Urius along with like a Ryan Mountcastle for 0:11:36.880 --> 0:11:40.800 a starting pitcher or something like that, maybe just a reliever. 0:11:42.440 --> 0:11:44.720 And if a move like that happens and then the 0:11:44.760 --> 0:11:47.080 pieces start kind of moving around and then you clearly 0:11:47.120 --> 0:11:50.199 see this is how Kobe Meo fits in, then I 0:11:50.240 --> 0:11:53.400 think it'll be harder to trade for him. And really, 0:11:53.480 --> 0:11:55.720 if you kind of look at just all the minor 0:11:55.800 --> 0:11:59.240 leagues last year of hitters that spent the whole year 0:11:59.320 --> 0:12:03.360 kind of in the upper the miners, Kobe Mayo's production 0:12:03.920 --> 0:12:07.199 and just kind of dominance is up there with anyone's. 0:12:07.480 --> 0:12:10.160 You know Whyite Langford probably more on like a per 0:12:10.240 --> 0:12:12.720 game basis, but he got you know, he wasn't there 0:12:12.760 --> 0:12:16.080 the whole season like Kobe Mayo was. Manzarto had that 0:12:16.160 --> 0:12:21.920 type of year a year ago and then obviously had. 0:12:20.240 --> 0:12:20.760 Just you know it. 0:12:21.559 --> 0:12:23.680 I don't want to say like last season. But I 0:12:23.720 --> 0:12:25.480 do think you can throw out a lot of what 0:12:25.520 --> 0:12:29.240 he was doing with Tampa Bay before the trade. Obviously 0:12:30.120 --> 0:12:33.520 was was solid in the AFL, was really solid in 0:12:33.559 --> 0:12:37.360 the miners after that trade. And the main question I 0:12:37.400 --> 0:12:41.040 guess for me with Manzarto is are the Guardians gonna 0:12:41.040 --> 0:12:44.480 be okay playing him against lefties right away? You know, 0:12:44.520 --> 0:12:47.640 they do have like someone like gabrielle Arius maybe that 0:12:47.640 --> 0:12:52.240 they could give playing time to at first base against lefties, 0:12:52.320 --> 0:12:55.000 but I think Josh Naylor plays every day. I think 0:12:55.000 --> 0:12:59.120 Manzarto makes the team out of spring training as someone 0:12:59.120 --> 0:13:01.760 who's going to be playing against right handed pitchers at least, 0:13:02.000 --> 0:13:04.319 so Manzaro probably helps you more in the short term. 0:13:04.320 --> 0:13:07.720 But I love the idea of trying to acquire Kobe 0:13:07.720 --> 0:13:08.760 Mayo this season. 0:13:08.880 --> 0:13:14.880 I do two and if if you're an already established team, like, 0:13:14.960 --> 0:13:18.360 how do you think you go about like fitting Kobe Mayo? 0:13:18.400 --> 0:13:20.920 Because Mayo is not going to be cheap, nor would Manzarto, 0:13:21.160 --> 0:13:24.680 Like I think from a drafting perspective, this might be 0:13:24.800 --> 0:13:28.080 just an easier question. Older guys fall if you're starting 0:13:28.080 --> 0:13:31.240 a new dynasty, Kobe Mayo should be someone when you 0:13:31.280 --> 0:13:33.040 get to the and Manzarto. When you get to the 0:13:33.040 --> 0:13:35.800 one hundred one fifty range, your site should be set 0:13:35.800 --> 0:13:39.040 on Kobe Mayo that high of an investment. Okay, how 0:13:39.080 --> 0:13:42.000 do you make that work if you want to win Now? Well, again, 0:13:42.120 --> 0:13:43.760 there's just these old dudes that are going to be 0:13:43.760 --> 0:13:46.319 falling the You know JD. Martinez and I know he's 0:13:46.360 --> 0:13:48.480 not for space, but Jad's Martinez is of the world. 0:13:48.800 --> 0:13:51.320 They're going to fall quite a bit in drafts, as 0:13:51.360 --> 0:13:54.760 are a litany of other solid guys. But if you 0:13:55.120 --> 0:13:57.960 are a competing team right now, like, what what do 0:13:58.000 --> 0:14:00.199 you think the asset give up? If you're in a 0:14:00.280 --> 0:14:03.440 trade for Kobe Mayo? Looks like without compromising a win 0:14:03.480 --> 0:14:05.600 Now team, because I could ask you, like, what would 0:14:05.640 --> 0:14:10.960 you trade Hassan Kim for Kobe Mayo and or Bryson 0:14:11.000 --> 0:14:13.200 Stop for Kobe Mayo if you're in win Now. I mean, 0:14:13.240 --> 0:14:15.160 I don't think you can do that, but I mean 0:14:15.240 --> 0:14:16.080 you tell me otherwise. 0:14:16.400 --> 0:14:18.600 Yeah, you know, I don't think. 0:14:19.520 --> 0:14:23.280 I don't think the win Now team is trading Kim 0:14:23.400 --> 0:14:28.920 or Stott for Mayo. I think if you're the rebuilding team, if. 0:14:28.760 --> 0:14:29.520 You like, if you. 0:14:31.160 --> 0:14:34.040 Have Stott or you have Kim and you're you're looking 0:14:34.080 --> 0:14:36.240 at your roster and you just don't really see a 0:14:37.440 --> 0:14:40.040 viable path to you competing in twenty twenty four. 0:14:40.640 --> 0:14:43.040 Then I think that trade starts to make some sense. 0:14:44.320 --> 0:14:45.680 You know, like if if you. 0:14:45.760 --> 0:14:50.400 Have, say, like a Nick Castellanos or like an Anthony Santander, 0:14:51.280 --> 0:14:55.080 like a player like that, maybe that's the type of player, 0:14:55.480 --> 0:14:59.640 uh that you trade for for Kobe Mayo or trying 0:14:59.640 --> 0:15:04.520 to trade for Kobe Mayo because those players are closer 0:15:04.560 --> 0:15:08.360 to kind of aging out of their prime, whereas Kim 0:15:08.400 --> 0:15:11.240 and Stott, I think you still have another four years 0:15:11.280 --> 0:15:12.280 of their prime. 0:15:12.760 --> 0:15:15.360 I feel like Castillanos might be able to like get 0:15:15.400 --> 0:15:17.680 that done. That might be something that's able to get 0:15:17.680 --> 0:15:19.400 it done. But you know, you could start looking at 0:15:19.480 --> 0:15:21.120 like here's another I'm just throwing this out here, Like 0:15:21.160 --> 0:15:23.920 what about like Andrew Vaughan. He hasn't cashed out of 0:15:23.960 --> 0:15:26.360 his time period, but maybe we really know who he is. 0:15:26.400 --> 0:15:28.640 It's like, even if your win now, you think you're 0:15:28.680 --> 0:15:31.160 losing too much with whatever replacement you could get, if 0:15:31.200 --> 0:15:32.960 you move to Vaughan to get Mayo. 0:15:32.920 --> 0:15:35.120 Yeah, I mean I would take Mayo for Vaughn kind 0:15:35.120 --> 0:15:37.320 of regardless of my team situation. 0:15:37.680 --> 0:15:38.800 Yeah, that's whar I's getting out. 0:15:38.960 --> 0:15:41.600 Yeah, like you're he's just not he's not hurting you 0:15:42.000 --> 0:15:43.120 enough in the short term. 0:15:43.160 --> 0:15:45.160 But he's like twenty six, and people might still keep 0:15:45.200 --> 0:15:47.040 looking at that and be like, Okay, maybe that's something 0:15:47.040 --> 0:15:48.800 that I can Maybe there's something else that I want 0:15:48.800 --> 0:15:51.880 to do. Speaking of prospects, what other prospects are you 0:15:52.000 --> 0:15:55.320 considering in this one hundred to two hundred You can 0:15:55.360 --> 0:15:57.960 open up to two fifty range. Obviously there's a lot, 0:15:58.400 --> 0:16:02.760 but targh prospects that make sense to you in your mind. 0:16:02.960 --> 0:16:05.920 One hundred to two hundred ish reigns kind of think like, 0:16:06.320 --> 0:16:10.080 I think if you're rebuilding, all prospects should be in 0:16:10.120 --> 0:16:11.880 mind here. But if you're kind of like either in 0:16:11.920 --> 0:16:14.880 a middle window or you're in the competing like, what 0:16:14.920 --> 0:16:18.560 prospects are you looking at to invest in in dynasty? 0:16:19.160 --> 0:16:21.080 Sure, I'll give you a give you a hitter and 0:16:21.160 --> 0:16:24.640 a pitcher, and they both have reached the big leagues, 0:16:25.720 --> 0:16:27.560 So I think that there are guys that could help 0:16:27.600 --> 0:16:31.920 you this upcoming season, but also long term for a hitter. 0:16:32.680 --> 0:16:37.640 Parker Meadows, I think is a great name to go 0:16:37.720 --> 0:16:42.120 after both short term long term. I think he's what 0:16:42.480 --> 0:16:46.040 he showed last year kind of more than anything. To 0:16:46.120 --> 0:16:49.800 me was just I think he's clearly their center fielder 0:16:49.840 --> 0:16:53.280 of the future, just based on how solid his defense 0:16:53.400 --> 0:16:54.160 was in the big leagues. 0:16:54.240 --> 0:16:55.640 You know, he's got speed, he's got. 0:16:55.520 --> 0:16:59.440 A really good arm, he doesn't have pronounced splits, so 0:16:59.600 --> 0:17:02.160 I think Arka Metos could be the Tigers leadoff hitter 0:17:02.760 --> 0:17:07.360 all season. And you know he likes to steal bases. 0:17:07.800 --> 0:17:10.320 I think he's a decent bet to steal twenty plus 0:17:10.359 --> 0:17:15.680 bases as a rookie power. You know, k America is 0:17:15.720 --> 0:17:18.959 not a good place to try to hit for power. 0:17:20.000 --> 0:17:23.960 I think that'll affect Meadows to the point where maybe 0:17:23.960 --> 0:17:26.359 he's kind of like a fifteen to twenty homer guy. 0:17:27.440 --> 0:17:29.600 But he's six foot five. He could just be kind 0:17:29.600 --> 0:17:32.680 of scratching the surface there, hits the ball hard. So 0:17:32.880 --> 0:17:35.000 there's a chance that he's just like a twenty twenty guy, 0:17:35.080 --> 0:17:36.439 maybe even better than that. 0:17:36.760 --> 0:17:39.160 And I just don't think he gets valued that way. 0:17:40.640 --> 0:17:43.359 Was never really kind of ranked in that sort of 0:17:43.680 --> 0:17:46.520 high range before he came up, and then I think 0:17:46.560 --> 0:17:49.280 he showed some promising stuff in the majors, and then 0:17:49.440 --> 0:17:50.520 on the pitch just. 0:17:50.560 --> 0:17:52.159 Want to throw in real quick hitting in front of 0:17:52.200 --> 0:17:55.960 Riley Green and Torklesen two like the run opportunities for meadows. 0:17:55.960 --> 0:17:58.360 If he is in that spot, that is where it's 0:17:58.600 --> 0:18:01.959 even more intriguing. So I like that name. Sorry pitching. 0:18:02.240 --> 0:18:04.920 Yeah, and then aj Smith Shawber. 0:18:06.840 --> 0:18:11.720 You know, I think it's really it's really just impressive 0:18:11.760 --> 0:18:14.080 as hell that he got up last year. That was 0:18:14.080 --> 0:18:19.240 his age twenty season, and he just dominated at in 0:18:19.280 --> 0:18:21.240 like a handful of starts at high in Double A, 0:18:21.359 --> 0:18:22.560 and then he just kind of spent the rest of 0:18:22.640 --> 0:18:25.960 his age twenty season going back and forth between Triple 0:18:26.000 --> 0:18:29.680 A and the big leagues, and the results weren't always great. 0:18:29.840 --> 0:18:35.280 But we know he's got that plus fastball mid nineties, 0:18:35.320 --> 0:18:38.320 touches ninety eight, He's touched even higher than that in 0:18:38.359 --> 0:18:45.000 the past. He's got a full repertoire four pitches. You 0:18:45.080 --> 0:18:48.520 I think that the curveball and slider flash plus last year. 0:18:49.960 --> 0:18:52.119 Still needs to work on his command and control and 0:18:52.160 --> 0:18:55.320 his sequencing and stuff. But you know, this is one 0:18:55.359 --> 0:18:58.760 of the premium teams to have a young pitcher on 0:18:59.160 --> 0:19:02.040 just if you're trying to get wins, always going to 0:19:02.080 --> 0:19:06.359 have a solid defense behind him. So I just I 0:19:06.400 --> 0:19:08.440 love the situation for Smith shawv Or. I think he's 0:19:08.480 --> 0:19:11.159 just kind of scratching the surface. Obviously anything, you know, 0:19:11.320 --> 0:19:14.360 anything can go wrong with pitching prospects, but I think 0:19:14.359 --> 0:19:17.480 he's a devalued asset right now in dynasty. 0:19:17.880 --> 0:19:21.200 I like it. We have been dismissive when we as 0:19:21.200 --> 0:19:24.640 we've worked through the top one hundred about closers and 0:19:25.119 --> 0:19:27.080 they just kind of moved down in general. So now 0:19:27.119 --> 0:19:30.439 that we're talking about this is obviously like a deeper conversation. 0:19:31.240 --> 0:19:33.879 But where do closers lie for you, especially when we 0:19:33.920 --> 0:19:37.760 are ranked outside the top one hundred, Maybe ifew fly inside, 0:19:38.760 --> 0:19:41.720 what is your dynasty valuation of what closers outside the 0:19:41.720 --> 0:19:44.040 top one hundred are on top of your mind? 0:19:44.359 --> 0:19:48.359 Yeah, I think I think elite closers are actually underrated 0:19:48.520 --> 0:19:52.680 in dynasty leagues. They're at least they're always going to 0:19:52.680 --> 0:19:56.000 to me be underrated on any kind of like a 0:19:56.080 --> 0:20:00.840 dynasty mock draft, any kind of dynasty ranking. They're probably 0:20:01.119 --> 0:20:04.480 under ranked just in terms of what does it actually 0:20:04.680 --> 0:20:07.760 take to acquire these guys in a dynasty league in 0:20:07.920 --> 0:20:11.360 season if you're trying to win a title like Edwin Diaz, 0:20:11.640 --> 0:20:16.640 Emmanuel Classe Camilo Duvall, Devin. 0:20:16.359 --> 0:20:18.840 Williams, you know, even like Josh. 0:20:18.680 --> 0:20:22.160 Hater, I know he's getting old, but really like Edwin Diaz, 0:20:22.280 --> 0:20:28.480 class A, Camillo Daval, like maybe like David Bednar. These 0:20:28.520 --> 0:20:31.960 guys not only are they giving you thirty plus saves, 0:20:32.880 --> 0:20:37.280 but they're giving you elite ratios. They're giving you, you know, 0:20:37.320 --> 0:20:40.520 in some cases maybe like thirty to forty more strikeouts 0:20:40.560 --> 0:20:42.960
