Speaker 1: Points League mock Let's talk to the pros. Welcome in
Speaker 1: everybody to Fantasy Prose. This is the Fantasy Baseball Podcast.
Speaker 1: It is me, Joey b Joe Piezapia, and with me
Speaker 1: today is my co host of the Welsh and special guest,
Speaker 1: our own Mike Mayer from Fantasy Pros. That's right, he
Speaker 1: is now a full time troll. Here just goes to
Speaker 1: show you everybody, if you start out on the YouTube comments,
Speaker 1: look where you could end up someday. And today we're
Speaker 1: doing another mock draft episode and I'm listening to you
Speaker 1: are Peanuts and our Cracker Jacks, and we are gonna
Speaker 1: be using our multi user draft software today for a
Speaker 1: points league draft. Welsh hates points leagues. I love them.
Speaker 1: I don't care about Mayor's feelings. So this is gonna
Speaker 1: be a great show here today, and I know a
Speaker 1: lot of you have been waiting for that content. So
Speaker 1: we're gonna talk a little bit about the strategy before
Speaker 1: we kick things off. But Welsh, we're coming off the
Speaker 1: big Fantasy Fest, which if you miss it, you could
Speaker 1: check it out on our YouTube channel, Fantasy Pro's MLB,
Speaker 1: which you should subscribe to because Welsh and I are
Speaker 1: just basically a week away from starting leading off here
Speaker 1: right here, live every single day. I believe at noon
Speaker 1: is when we're gonna start. Whenever Welsh has his coffee
Speaker 1: over on the West Coast of Things or whatever the
Speaker 1: heck Arizona time for him is. But Welsh, how are
Speaker 1: you doing after the Fantasy Fest? You you enjoy your
Speaker 1: time there mock drafting with Bagman and myself.
Speaker 2: I've done my own version of the Fantasy Fest just
Speaker 2: in my own content across the board. But you killed
Speaker 2: it on the Fantasy Fest man, you know, don't don't
Speaker 2: give us anything.
Speaker 3: It was just Bogmin and I.
Speaker 2: I was laughing too because Bogmin and I got description
Speaker 2: love in the episode too. It was like join the
Speaker 2: Fantasy Fest with Joe, Piece of Pia, Chris Welsh and
Speaker 2: Scott Bogman and Bogmin and I were on for like
Speaker 2: one hour, so I was like, look at us, we're
Speaker 2: getting all the extra love.
Speaker 4: Now.
Speaker 3: You killed it man. He did a great job.
Speaker 2: Also a podcast version of some of the best clips,
Speaker 2: which everyone should go to this too if they have not,
Speaker 2: if they don't have time to go and consume four hours,
Speaker 2: but I highly suggest you do, especially.
Speaker 3: Our three of course.
Speaker 1: Yes, well we conveniently left the mock draft off of
Speaker 1: the best of because, let me tell you, it was
Speaker 1: definitely animal house by that point in time, the show
Speaker 1: with the three of us and speaking of crazy animals,
Speaker 1: Mike Mayor who I'm just very exciting. You know, Mike
Speaker 1: has worked for me this past year in the Baseball
Speaker 1: Black Books. You can check out his work there. Mike
Speaker 1: has been a huge part behind the scenes and a
Speaker 1: bit more in front of the scenes of late of
Speaker 1: Fantasy Pros and all joking aside for all of the
Speaker 1: all the funny quips back and forth that we do.
Speaker 1: I am super excited that you are part of this
Speaker 1: team on a full time basis this year.
Speaker 4: Mike.
Speaker 1: You were so helpful last year and the leading off
Speaker 1: and doing so many other things in terms of baseball
Speaker 1: and football content here at Fantasy Pros. So what's it
Speaker 1: like to like be a star now? I mean, have
Speaker 1: you changed your lifestyle? Do you upgrade your vehicle? Like?
Speaker 1: I don't know how how has this kind of impact
Speaker 1: your your lifestyle here in Jersey.
Speaker 4: Well, I'm still kind of figuring that out, But the
Speaker 4: biggest impact is that I now have like one job
Speaker 4: instead of two, and so it's like I'm still staying
Speaker 4: up till one am, which I shouldn't do, and working
Speaker 4: on like Fantasy Pro stuff. But it's it's fun. Now,
Speaker 4: this is like the first time I'm doing a podcast
Speaker 4: with you that I'm not like sneaking away from another
Speaker 4: job and like checking my email on the side while
Speaker 4: like while doing a podcast. So it'll be interesting to
Speaker 4: see how much I can actually focus.
Speaker 1: Now. Well, I now that just means that if you
Speaker 1: were doing two jobs and you should do twice as
Speaker 1: much work for us, Well, isn't that kind of like
Speaker 1: the ratio that.
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Yeah, Well you know, Freedoman is a smart guy, so
Speaker 1: clearly we see eye to eye on that. And today,
Speaker 1: as I said, we're gonna be going through a points league. Mok.
Speaker 1: We're very excited about this. Give a little differentiation, and
Speaker 1: we're gonna be using that mock draft Lobby multi user
Speaker 1: draft software over a fantasypros dot Com slash draft Wizard.
Speaker 1: I know you guys know about the Draft Wizard by now,
Speaker 1: but I'm telling you it's the greatest tool to get
Speaker 1: you prepared. They have so many bells and whistles and
Speaker 1: when you're a premium member here at Fantasy Pros, you
Speaker 1: have access to amazing features we're talking about, like if
Speaker 1: you've got keepers already in your league, you could set
Speaker 1: those names and then run the mock draft software. It's unbelievable.
Speaker 1: I mean, there's so many little kind of you know,
Speaker 1: perks and things like that that are available here. You
Speaker 1: can back out picks if you don't like the way
Speaker 1: that team's going, which is something I may or may
Speaker 1: not have done once or twice because I'm a perfectionist
Speaker 1: and I want to try to get everything right as
Speaker 1: much as I can. But what's so great about the
Speaker 1: multi user draft software is you can send the link
Speaker 1: to friends, you can mock with some people. You could
Speaker 1: still use the computer opponents as well, and it's an
Speaker 1: easy to use interface along with our draft simulator, which
Speaker 1: obviously you know, we have so many tools right now,
Speaker 1: including that free draft kit as well that's available on
Speaker 1: Fantasy Pros and a big thing too. I want to
Speaker 1: keep stressing this. You know, a lot of paces will
Speaker 1: give you. They'll give you a one or two baseball
Speaker 1: shows a week, maybe three. We're gonna be here every
Speaker 1: single day breaking it down for you on leading off
Speaker 1: and that's going to start April six, So we're gonna
Speaker 1: start the day before the season and because we can
Speaker 1: and we will, and then every single day we're gonna
Speaker 1: take you through Fantasy Baseball. We're gonna throw a little
Speaker 1: DFS in there, We're gonna throw a little prop bets
Speaker 1: because Welsh is so great at that. So we're gonna
Speaker 1: do a whole bunch of that. But we want to
Speaker 1: encourage you right now, we're already past five thousand subscribers.
Speaker 1: It's a fantastic time to be alive. Go to YouTube
Speaker 1: dot com slash Fantasy Pros MLB again, it's on the
Speaker 1: MLB channel specifically, you got to be a part of it,
Speaker 1: and that's where that's all going to happen. And as
Speaker 1: Welsh mentioned before, you can go watch the Fantasy Baseball
Speaker 1: Fest or just skip ahead to Welsh and Bogman of
Speaker 1: course if you want to do that. And all of
Speaker 1: our podcasts are gonna be on there too, and a
Speaker 1: lot of short form videos we're gonna be working on also. Now, gentlemen,
Speaker 1: when it comes to points leagues, in the past, I
Speaker 1: have been very very pitching heavy. What's happened in the
Speaker 1: last five years is this de evolution of pitching. We've
Speaker 1: gone through ten years ago where there were forty plus
Speaker 1: guys making two hundred innings a year. Now we have
Speaker 1: like four or five guys who might hit that mark.
Speaker 1: So the quality of pitching, the volume of pitching, it's
Speaker 1: really changed. And I do use the word devolved because
Speaker 1: I really feel that's what's happened. Now. I'm of the
Speaker 1: mind I'm still gonna go pitching early. It's something that
Speaker 1: I'm going to approach with Welsh. I know you're not
Speaker 1: the biggest Points League guy, but I think you'll support
Speaker 1: my theory on this, which is it's very important to
Speaker 1: make sure you get a really strong offensive base and
Speaker 1: then target where the pitching market really lies in terms
Speaker 1: of value. And for me, that pitching market really lies
Speaker 1: in that one a number two starter grouping that's out
Speaker 1: there that I feel like, that elite tier comes with
Speaker 1: a lot of risk and a big price tag. But
Speaker 1: if I can get a whole staff of maybe two
Speaker 1: or three guys that I feel really good that can
Speaker 1: have those those number one ace like starts from time
Speaker 1: to time. To me, that's my approach for twenty twenty two.
Speaker 1: How do you see the player pool when it comes
Speaker 1: to Points League specifically.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, and the one big points that I'm
Speaker 2: in is taut and I just did this this past weekend,
Speaker 2: and I did first of it's an auction, so I
Speaker 2: did like a studs and scrubs. But my literal construction
Speaker 2: to what you're saying was, I got a couple studs.
Speaker 2: I got Vladimir Gerer, Junior, Bryce Harper and Shohyo Tani.
Speaker 3: It's a pretty good start.
Speaker 2: And I also paired them not with the elite elite
Speaker 2: pitching because someone else went hard on it. But I
Speaker 2: still got de Gram when he was a little bit
Speaker 2: cheaper wheeler Freddie Peralta and the Points League gave a
Speaker 2: good boost for relief pitchers as far as what they
Speaker 2: were getting. So I'd also got Emmanuel Classe and Trinin
Speaker 2: and I built my core around that. I'm gonna probably
Speaker 2: be pitching heavy. I think that's one of the best
Speaker 2: plays to go. I'm always looking for boppers as well.
Speaker 2: I'm in the third spot here. There's a chance the
Speaker 2: computer might throw Vladimir Guerrero to me, and if that
Speaker 2: would be the case, I would take him. Shoho Tani
Speaker 2: is another one of those that I actually think is
Speaker 2: an extra even boost in this platform, especially if you
Speaker 2: can have one player and you can move him, you know,
Speaker 2: as a pitcher or you can align him as a hitter,
Speaker 2: whichever one you want to do. But I'm gonna still
Speaker 2: go pitching heavy regardless of the de evolving of it,
Speaker 2: because I think what you led to is as it's getting,
Speaker 2: you know, get your big boppers, get the pictures that
Speaker 2: you know are locked down right now. Injuries are happening,
Speaker 2: Guys are getting moved. You know, Tyler Molly looks a
Speaker 2: little less interesting right now as he continues to be
Speaker 2: a red Luis Castillo been a little bit banged up.
Speaker 2: Same reason that get the guys you're assured of the
Speaker 2: same strategy you would we're having for closers with like
Speaker 2: roto and head to head. I want to get that
Speaker 2: to pictures like give me my lockdown guys early and
Speaker 2: I can focus on big bats, guys like Hunter Renfro
Speaker 2: and Joey Gallo are even more enticing in this format
Speaker 2: later and I can put them in because it's a
Speaker 2: you know, we're de evolving the names and we're just
Speaker 2: boosting up categories, and that's that's how I'm going to
Speaker 2: approach it, probably in this draft at three, so it's
Speaker 2: for me, it's gonna be this is gonna be Coler
Speaker 2: Vladimir row Junior.
Speaker 3: It's gonna be one of those two.
Speaker 1: Well, if shoey Otani qualifies a picture and hitter in
Speaker 1: the format that you've you're playing it in points easier
Speaker 1: one to one period because you're getting two players like that.
Speaker 1: It's it's not it's not even a debate as far
Speaker 1: as I'm concerned any head to head, especially where you
Speaker 1: have this guy who is two players in one it's
Speaker 1: just Stu, but not to take him. The other thing
Speaker 1: is Mike mahyor knowing your points system that you're playing in.
Speaker 1: I always push to make sure that saves are not
Speaker 1: the same amount of points as wins are. I hate that.
Speaker 1: You know, we're a little limited here what we can
Speaker 1: do in points leagues on the draft software in terms
Speaker 1: of tweaking certain things. But the point I want to
Speaker 1: drive home is, you know, if you're setting up a
Speaker 1: points league, value everything appropriately. You know, I've spent about
Speaker 1: ten years trying to get the perfect point system where
Speaker 1: hitting and pitching is really kind of right there with
Speaker 1: each other pitching. Always in those you know, weekly head
Speaker 1: to head formats, when you can have those elite guys
Speaker 1: going twice, that's a huge deal. But Mayor, it's so
Speaker 1: important to me that you really make sure, especially that
Speaker 1: the relief pitching is weighted appropriately, because the last thing
Speaker 1: you want is a guy to come in and get
Speaker 1: three outs and get ten points, which is the same
Speaker 1: as a win potentially. To me, that's just bad form.
Speaker 4: Yeah, for sure. And it's funny you say that because
Speaker 4: you know, you launched your Black Book Challenge league and
Speaker 4: there was an issue with the points initially, and I
Speaker 4: think like because of the issue, I think there were
Speaker 4: like nine players projected to like score positive points and
Speaker 4: everyone else is the negative. So that was a fun
Speaker 4: kind of like example, they missed the minus.
Speaker 1: It was not minus five, it was minus point five
Speaker 1: for a strikeout, and we quickly fix that and by
Speaker 1: the way, we click, we filled that. We filled one
Speaker 1: hundred and twenty spots in that league in twenty four hours.
Speaker 1: So thank you to everybody who joined and signed up,
Speaker 1: especially our people in Discord, because our Discord people had
Speaker 1: first crack at it. So if you're hanging out with
Speaker 1: the cool kids, you get you know, cool perks like that.
Speaker 1: But continue on, Mike Bear.
Speaker 4: Now, what are our points here?
Speaker 1: Our points here? How they're set up?
Speaker 4: Again?
Speaker 1: You can only pick these categories of how it is.
Speaker 1: So we've picked through the category. So it's gonna give
Speaker 1: us at least a range and an idea of the outcomes.
Speaker 1: But I also recommend for those people who are trying
Speaker 1: to spice things up the hybrid that I talk about
Speaker 1: in the Black Book this year, where you play head
Speaker 1: to head points, you give everything proper weight, that way
Speaker 1: everything matters, and then you can play all plays as
Speaker 1: a season long feel to it, and you can reward
Speaker 1: the teams that have a good week every single week
Speaker 1: over time. And I think that to me is the
Speaker 1: that is the future of fantasy baseball and how we're
Speaker 1: gonna get people to come back and continue to grow
Speaker 1: our game. It's not the old school proto stuff. It's
Speaker 1: doing something. Yeah, we all play head to head point
Speaker 1: sixteen teams. It's magnificent. We reward the number one best
Speaker 1: record for the year with a bonus money. Then we
Speaker 1: chop right after the All Star break, go to eight
Speaker 1: teams in the playoffs, and we play three weeks three
Speaker 1: rounds two weeks each and then we're done by Labor Day,
Speaker 1: so you can get your football on. It's magnificent, it's great.
Speaker 1: You can read all about it in the Black Book
Speaker 1: if you want. All right, let's kick things off here.
Speaker 1: We're gonna start it off. Team three is the Welsh
Speaker 1: mayor decided to go in the middle at one eight.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be the one to twelve year pick. So
Speaker 1: as Welsh was saying before, we've got a good set
Speaker 1: up here. He knows his targets, so we're gonna kick
Speaker 1: things off here in a few seconds. So Welsh, what again,
Speaker 1: are you home before makes it to you?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean this is Coal or Vlad for me,
Speaker 2: I guess because we're not.
Speaker 3: We don't have like, you know, distinct details.
Speaker 2: I'll probably not take a Tani in the top three,
Speaker 2: even though I completely agree O Tani in a points
Speaker 2: format is like right near the top, especially when you
Speaker 2: get both spots for him. But I'm I mean, unless
Speaker 2: you tell me different, I'm not assuming this isn't like nope,
Speaker 2: and we've.
Speaker 1: Kicked things off here. So Turner Ramirez go one two
Speaker 1: and this isn't like ahead type of thing, right, No,
Speaker 1: it's it's weekly head to head points. Again, these are
Speaker 1: the rosters I want to construct here. What the grades are,
Speaker 1: I'm less caring about. I want to help the people
Speaker 1: who are playing in points leagues this year with roster
Speaker 1: construction and thought process there. So let's attach it like that.
Speaker 1: We've got our five starting pitchers, two relief spots for
Speaker 1: outfielders to utility. We're not going to do bench, no
Speaker 1: corner spots, no middle infield spots. Again, this is the
Speaker 1: fun fantasy baseball. So well, you went ahead and you
Speaker 1: selected who at won three.
Speaker 3: I took Vlad.
Speaker 2: I really kind of wanted to sit here and take
Speaker 2: care because I think that is maybe the play. But
Speaker 2: to your point what you said earlier, getting elite, elite
Speaker 2: hitters in points formats is a distinct advantage because there's
Speaker 2: a point where things are really going to drop into
Speaker 2: the same pool.
Speaker 3: So having a distinctly.
Speaker 2: High end hitter like Vlad with a big home run hitter,
Speaker 2: this's where I wanted to go, and that's where I
Speaker 2: went with the third pick.
Speaker 1: Okay, and look, sometimes that happens where you have a
Speaker 1: league that, even though it's a points league, they still
Speaker 1: want to go very heavy offense early on, and I
Speaker 1: don't blame them. That's what I would do nowadays as well,
Speaker 1: because the days of Randy Johnson and Page Martinez are
Speaker 1: long gone. After Vlad's Sodo, Bobaschet Shohel Tani goes, Tatisko's
Speaker 1: one to seven, and then Mike Mayer, you're up for
Speaker 1: the one oh eight with ten seconds left.
Speaker 4: So I'm going with Kyle Tucker for a lot of
Speaker 4: the reasons we're talking about. So it's points leagues, and
Speaker 4: he's a guy that can contribute kind of across the border.
Speaker 4: I can get thirty home runs out of him. I
Speaker 4: might get twenty steals out of him. And I think
Speaker 4: he's going to be you know, last year, I grabbed
Speaker 4: him a lot like in the middle kind of rounds
Speaker 4: where he was going with the idea, especially like a
Speaker 4: keeper dynasty, with the idea that he's probably going to
Speaker 4: be a first round pick this year. And here he is,
Speaker 4: and I think he's only going to get better. And
Speaker 4: I love that pick in the first round.
Speaker 1: All right. Garrett Cole goes next than Corbyn burns now
Speaker 1: the pitchers are starting to fly. Bryce Harper goes. Now
Speaker 1: I have a choice to make I can take a
Speaker 1: Bets or a Trout, or I can double up because
Speaker 1: there are two starting pitchers that I do have first
Speaker 1: round grades on. Walker Bueller is one of them. So
Speaker 1: I'm definitely taking Walker Buller with one of these picks. Now,
Speaker 1: for all this stuff that I talked about, it's always
Speaker 1: about what the draft board is coming to you. So
Speaker 1: I have my theory. I am ready to go, but
Speaker 1: I have to pivot because every draft is different. If
Speaker 1: I get Max Scherzer and Walker Buller to start ahead
Speaker 1: to head Points League, I'm gonna take that every day
Speaker 1: of the week. Both of those guys shouldn't be there.
Speaker 1: That is legitimately my cutoff of guys with the grade
Speaker 1: of one. The other ones were Corbin Burns and Garrett Cole.
Speaker 1: After that, I'm pivoting to that one a group. But
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go ahead and start and double up on the pitching.
Speaker 1: Here Akunya Trout, Mookie Bets to mayor here with a
Speaker 1: two zero five.
Speaker 4: Pick, I'm gonna go here. I'm gona double dip on
Speaker 4: hitting and go with Freddy Freeman. I like the fit
Speaker 4: in LA. I don't kind of like some of the
Speaker 4: middle first boun first base options, and so I'm gonna
Speaker 4: lock in that power production from Freddy Freeman in Los Angeles.
Speaker 1: And remember, because we're not playing with the corner of
Speaker 1: middle endfields spots too, it's a little bit more of
Speaker 1: a wider berth for some of these hitting choices we
Speaker 1: can make. So the board changes quite a bit when
Speaker 1: you take those two spots out. Woodroff goes, I'm sorry.
Speaker 1: After Freeman, we got Rafield Devers at two oh six,
Speaker 1: then Woodroff two o seven to Grom too eight Starling
Speaker 1: marte a two o nine. Wells, you're on the clock
Speaker 1: at two ten.
Speaker 3: Oh man.
Speaker 2: I wanted to Grom like, you don't know so close,
Speaker 2: hissed at Team five that.
Speaker 3: That dirt bag Team five.
Speaker 2: I like some of the pictures here, but I think
Speaker 2: it's gonna swing back to me. So I'm gonna take
Speaker 2: one of the better hitters, and I'm gonna go with mine. Robert,
Speaker 2: you know what, you thought it might have been Assie Albi's,
Speaker 2: But for everything that mayor is talking about with Tucker,
Speaker 2: I think that is Robert to you know, the copied degree.
Speaker 3: So I'm very excited about that.
Speaker 2: But then stupid Zach Wheeler goes, and these guys are
Speaker 2: ruining all of my fun.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, you had Albi's go right after Robert then
Speaker 1: at two twelve into the turn, but shadow Zach Wheeler
Speaker 1: start the third, Shane Bieber right before you. That's got
Speaker 1: a sting cotton. Where do you go next? Three to
Speaker 1: oh three?
Speaker 2: Well, I cannot put myself in a situation, especially in
Speaker 2: this format, where I go another hitter and just avoid pitching.
Speaker 3: I'm just not going to do that. You could do that.
Speaker 2: I think there's a fantastic pick and Jordan Alver is
Speaker 2: sitting there, but I'm gonna go with pitching.
Speaker 3: And do I want to do all right, Well, you
Speaker 3: know what, we'll go.
Speaker 2: With top lift here. I like Julio Arias. We want
Speaker 2: to play for wins a little bit more. There's a
Speaker 2: picture I was kind of contemplating, but we will go
Speaker 2: with Julio Arias. Wins are important, Okay, yeah they are.
Speaker 1: And so Urius, I think, is another one of those
Speaker 1: guys you can you can bank on his an ace.
Speaker 1: You feel good, you know he's gonna get run support.
Speaker 1: You like the environment obviously, I think win potential is
Speaker 1: going to be there, so that's a big bonus quality
Speaker 1: starts nw's as a huge bust boom there. Excuse me. Also,
Speaker 1: by the way, speaking of Robert, I just today put
Speaker 1: some money on him. I want to talk about him
Speaker 1: for a second for MVP because the odds are really interesting.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna pull those up in a second. In the meantime,
Speaker 1: let's look more after Shane Bieber and Urias, Cedric Mullens,
Speaker 1: Wander Franco. Who's great in a points league? With that
Speaker 1: obp Jordan Alvarez I was hoping makes it to me.
Speaker 1: He does not Aaron Judge at three oh seven, Mike Mayor,
Speaker 1: you're on the clock at three oh eight.
Speaker 4: Well, Jordan Alvarez wouldn't have gotten past me because I
Speaker 4: was hoping for him to fallow to me. And whilst
Speaker 4: was saying, you could go hit her here again, and
Speaker 4: I'm going to. And part of that is because I
Speaker 4: love like the middle area of starting pitching this year,
Speaker 4: Like you were saying, Joe, I'm going to take Nick
Speaker 4: Castianos here and lock in some more power from my outfield.
Speaker 4: But like you were saying, Joe, those kind of top
Speaker 4: arms come with a price tag, and they come with
Speaker 4: some risk, and I'm just I find myself of avoiding
Speaker 4: that like really elite tier this year because I love
Speaker 4: so much of that middle tier of pitching, and I'm
Speaker 4: probably just gonna grab a bunch of it in the
Speaker 4: middle rounds.
Speaker 1: Here understandably so, by the way, Welsh Louis Robert on
Speaker 1: FanDuel right now, thirty five to one for MVP. I
Speaker 1: threw ten bucks on that bad boy.
Speaker 4: So you.
Speaker 3: Know who's forty to one. Who Byron Buxton.
Speaker 1: Is forty one job thirty five to one.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go we know you guys are both bad people.
Speaker 2: You're both not good people. I'm gonna go put money
Speaker 2: right after we're done with this on Byron bucks In
Speaker 2: just to spite you.
Speaker 1: All right, let's move on here to the next ones.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna start a little bit of the inside out here.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with wit Merryfield, one of my favorite
Speaker 1: Points League kind of guys, because he's gonna get all
Speaker 1: sorts of opportunities, gonna score runs, You're gonna be on base,
Speaker 1: gonna hit, he's gonna have a little bit of power
Speaker 1: stolen bases as well. I've got another choice here too,
Speaker 1: is really deep, so I could go with all contra
Speaker 1: or I could take my boy, who was also the
Speaker 1: top liftier in Brian Reynolds, and you know what I
Speaker 1: think I want to Joey like, So here we go.
Speaker 1: Maybe it's not the big power group here, but I'm
Speaker 1: gonna just continue to be have a steady floor of
Speaker 1: points and we'll see if we can make up the
Speaker 1: power a little bit later. Some of the guys I
Speaker 1: liked in between went unfortunately, So after casianos Olsen went,
Speaker 1: Riley went, I wanted one of those, I did not
Speaker 1: get them. Simeon then me at the turn Merryfield Reynolds,
Speaker 1: Robbie Ray Goes at four h two four oh three,
Speaker 1: Ti Oscar Rnandez, then four to four Xander Bogart's Meg Mayer.
Speaker 1: Is now the time for a picture?
Speaker 4: You know, I was kind of on the fence while
Speaker 4: you were talking, and there's a tier here that I liked.
Speaker 4: There were some other players I like, I'm gonna grab
Speaker 4: the picture at the top of my tier in Lucas
Speaker 4: Giolito and just lock in a ton of innings, a
Speaker 4: ton of strikeouts, probably, you know, definitely double digit wins
Speaker 4: as long as it stays healthy, and just kind of
Speaker 4: start to build out my staff. Although I did have
Speaker 4: a lot of hitters, I thought about just going with instead.
Speaker 4: I'll see if any make it back to me that the.
Speaker 1: Pictures specifically didn't make it to me. That did in
Speaker 1: the end of the first round. The Mike Mayer strategy
Speaker 1: of what he's doing right now, those three hitters and
Speaker 1: then Gilito. That's my ideal scenario typically in a points league,
Speaker 1: and now I would start to build the Mortons and
Speaker 1: Verlanders after that. By the way, an NFBC last night, Verlander,
Speaker 1: I think I think Sporer took him with a fourth
Speaker 1: round pick or something. So watch that. That's starting to
Speaker 1: turn very quickly. So after Giledo goes, we have sal
Speaker 1: Perez Byron Buckston at four oh seven. Welsh is not happy.
Speaker 1: Four oh eight, Trevor Story, Tim Anderson, there's a shortslop
Speaker 1: run for you. Aaron Nola at four ten to the Welsh.
Speaker 2: Yes, and I took I took Aaron Nola to get
Speaker 2: my second picture. I desperately wanted Gilito. I almost took
Speaker 2: Giolito over Urias in that last round.
Speaker 3: That's how highly I think of him. One of I
Speaker 3: think eleven.
Speaker 2: ATC pitchers projected for two hundred strikeouts this year and
Speaker 2: I really wanted him.
Speaker 3: So that's a great pick. So he took knowledge.
Speaker 1: Twenty seconds here before get back to just so you
Speaker 1: don't miss it.
Speaker 3: I am which one do I want to go?
Speaker 1: While you're thinking, Josh Hater goes at four to eleven
Speaker 1: and Liam Hendrix was also pisses off Welsh. We have
Speaker 1: two mandatory RP slots. Sandy Alcntra goes five oh one,
Speaker 1: another nice guy. You could have paired up there h
Speaker 1: five oho two Lindor and then Welsh one second.
Speaker 2: Yep, I got it. I went with mister as long
Speaker 2: as it took. Yeah, I went with Paul Goldschmid. I
Speaker 2: have a first baseman. I doubled up on the corner.
Speaker 2: Get two elite first basemen, take him off the board.
Speaker 2: I would have considered Matt Olsen earlier when he went
Speaker 2: I thought he was kind of a steal in this.
Speaker 3: So I'm taking some big boppers, and you know what.
Speaker 1: With the two utility spots, you could take the two
Speaker 1: big boppers there and not worry about it. So instead
Speaker 1: of the corner spots, we moved to two utility, which
Speaker 1: I prefer in this format. I think it's much better
Speaker 1: Pete Alonzo goes next than Corey Seeger Freddy Peralta, who
Speaker 1: is my other guy too. I would love to have
Speaker 1: a Gilito Parolta start if I could. That other strategy
Speaker 1: I was talking about Tyler O'Neil five oh seven, Mike Mayer.
Speaker 1: You're on the clock for five oh weight with twenty seconds.
Speaker 4: So I'm gonna go with a guy that at the
Speaker 4: beginning of the off season, I didn't really think I
Speaker 4: was gonna have a ton of shares, but I keep
Speaker 4: finding myself drafting him in like in major leagues, and
Speaker 4: so I'm gonna take him right here, Alex Bregman, and
Speaker 4: it's I think we're going to get a bounce back
Speaker 4: year from him. I think the price is right, and
Speaker 4: third base is really gross this year once you get
Speaker 4: out of those like top handful of names, and so
Speaker 4: for all those reasons, I keep like finding myself with
Speaker 4: bregmant in like the fifth, sixth round this year.
Speaker 1: It's extremely gross. You are correct, sir for me right now,
Speaker 1: speaking of it being gross, there's two guys actually I
Speaker 1: really like here. One is my boy, Elloy Jimenez. So Eloy,
Speaker 1: that's an easy pick and Jimenez and then the next
Speaker 1: guy for me, speaking of third base being difficult. Also,
Speaker 1: he's the top lift right now. I got a value
Speaker 1: pick on Jimenez. That's nice. Thank you for the thumbs up, Wizard.
Speaker 1: I appreciate you, at least for now, until you start
Speaker 1: making bad Moji's at me when I make bad picks.
Speaker 1: Chris Bryant, who qualifies everywhere. I love in a format
Speaker 1: like this because it gives me a lot of versatility. Look,
Speaker 1: he's gonna be good in Colorado at the very least,
Speaker 1: you know, great environment in those eighty one home games.
Speaker 1: I'll take it. And I got a thumbs up there.
Speaker 1: I like the way this is going. I am a
Speaker 1: happy camper so far. Got my two studs that got
Speaker 1: my offense. Now Bpa, rest of the way from.
Speaker 4: Thing when I made the last pick that Lance Linn
Speaker 4: would come back to me even though I was just
Speaker 4: gonna lock in kind of two White Sox starters. So
Speaker 4: now I'm looking at other things to do with.
Speaker 1: That concept now, especially not you guys want a team
Speaker 1: that's gonna win one hundred games this year or why not?
Speaker 4: So I think instead I'm gonna stick with Pitcher there's
Speaker 4: another pitcher I like as a person, but I don't
Speaker 4: really like where he landed this offseason a little bit.
Speaker 1: Gus hanging out. You guys are going to Chili's together?
Speaker 1: What the hell you do?
Speaker 4: I'm gonna go with Max Freed instead.
Speaker 1: Let's stick a quick break in the action to tell
Speaker 1: you about fan Tracks. I want to tell you about

Speaker 1: Max freed another solid arm. There after freed Horey Polanco,
Speaker 1: one of my favorite Points League guys is being tremendously
Speaker 1: undervalued still in my opinion, He's gonna hit four in
Speaker 1: that lineup. Then you have Kevin Gossman, Will Smith, Logan
Speaker 1: Webb at six oh nine. The Welsh is up for six'.
Speaker 2: Ten, well nothing is. Falling that's a big thing THAT i.
Speaker 2: MEAN i again my decisions Gold schmid Or. BRYANT i
Speaker 2: really Wanted. BRIAN i PROBABLY i should have just taken
Speaker 2: him for that. PAUSE i THOUGHT i could get him
Speaker 2: to slip. By he is not slipping, by and nothing really.
Speaker 2: IS i think there's a great hitter still on the.
Speaker 2: Board So i'm gonna just snap this up and see
Speaker 2: what comes back IN. Jd martinez good average. Power this
Speaker 2: is kind of a no. Brainer and then we'll come

Speaker 1: straight out Of mike C Mike mayer seven oh. Eight
Speaker 1: will he take another person out Of Mike? Cue we shall?
Speaker 4: See or WILL i take another person out of The
Speaker 4: White sox? Rotation?
Speaker 1: Right Dylan, dy there you. Go Dylan sees goes out,
Speaker 1: there what'd you think of last year and the step
Speaker 1: forward he? Made and there had been some teases in the,
Speaker 1: past but last year really seemed to be a new
Speaker 1: version of him that we hadn't.
Speaker 4: Seen, yeah and that's kind of Why i'm high on
Speaker 4: him this. YEAR i think he always had that in,
Speaker 4: him and you, finally like you, said you saw it last,
Speaker 4: year AND i think you, know there's no reason not
Speaker 4: to expect more of the same this, year if not
Speaker 4: better and potentially more.
Speaker 1: Innings all, Right Dylan ceese Than, mandacy goes class Than
Speaker 1: mantas at seven and. Eleven you, know it's. Interesting And
Speaker 1: Christian yelich is fascinating BECAUSE i don't love him In
Speaker 1: rodo BECAUSE i don't know what the ceiling, is but
Speaker 1: In points he's SOMEBODY i. Consider same thing With. Bellinger
Speaker 1: it's just WHETHER i want to take that risk right.
Speaker 1: Now Carl's korea is still on the board as, well
Speaker 1: OR i could just go ahead and take another, picture
Speaker 1: AS i am one to, do AND i THINK i just.
Speaker 1: Might So i'm gonna Take Charlie morton here as my third.
Speaker 1: Starter so let's go ahead and lock that in and,
Speaker 1: uh then let's see what's available. Here just going to
Speaker 1: reload for a. Second DO i Love Charlie morton on
Speaker 1: the bounce back as, well because to, Me Charlie gordon's
Speaker 1: one of these guys is just once again grossly. Undervalued
Speaker 1: now with the, hitters it's you, know The winkers of the.
Speaker 1: World you, know shortstops starting to run a little. THIN
Speaker 1: i think as. Well we mentioned third base is, tough
Speaker 1: BUT i do Have Chris, bryant which allows me to
Speaker 1: kind of move some guys, around which IS i think
Speaker 1: is very. Important that third Base cliff With Anthony rendon
Speaker 1: is staring me in the. FACE i walk him yesterday
Speaker 1: in a. Game he looked. Awful he was just getting
Speaker 1: all kinds of confused out. There he. Did, man that
Speaker 1: dude looked like he was. Toast maybe the timing's just not,
Speaker 1: there but he looked. Awful i'm gonna go ahead and
Speaker 1: Take correa here at. Shortstop i'm gonna go take the
Speaker 1: last guy at that spot THAT i think about. IT
Speaker 1: i Love Bobby witt. Too Bobby witt was the other
Speaker 1: guy was. Contemplating But i'm trying to stay disciplined in
Speaker 1: my love For bobby wit WHICH i think by next
Speaker 1: week might be completely out the. Window Ryan presley EIGHT
Speaker 1: o TWO U darvish aight oh Three max months he
Speaker 1: eight oh. Four Mike, mayer you are on the.
Speaker 4: Clock so for a lot of the, reasons you were just,
Speaker 4: SAYING i was looking at the shortstop kind of position thinning,
Speaker 4: out AND i didn't have ANY i was Hoping crey
Speaker 4: was gonna fall to, me and THEN i was hoping
Speaker 4: you were going to go to that third Base, cliff
Speaker 4: but you came right back To cray and took my.
Speaker 4: Guy So i'm going to pivot to the other middle
Speaker 4: endfield spot and take a. GUY i am huge on
Speaker 4: this year that a lot of other people are thinking
Speaker 4: some regressions coming for, it And i'm going all in
Speaker 4: On Jonathan india as my second.
Speaker 1: Baseman all, Right Jonathan india is the second. BASEMAN i
Speaker 1: know he's A welsh. Favorite two months he went right.
Speaker 1: Before After, india we've Got Giancarlos stanton going at eight oh,
Speaker 1: six Jess chisematos, Seven Edwin diaz eight oh, Eight blake
Speaker 1: trying in flying up draft boards at eight oh. Nine
Speaker 1: ever since The Kenley jansen signing In, Atlanta welsh you're
Speaker 1: up for eight ten.
Speaker 3: Oh all of these not great.
Speaker 1: Players, well and this is, why let me tell, you
Speaker 1: this is WHY i really am happy THAT i Took
Speaker 1: bryant WHERE i did BECAUSE i didn't have to get
Speaker 1: forced into the third base. CLIFF i just Moved brian
Speaker 1: to third and NOW i look for first base and
Speaker 1: try to fill that. Later so this is why a
Speaker 1: guy Like Ketel, Marte Chris, bryant if you take him
Speaker 1: in the right, value it really helps with the draft
Speaker 1: come to. You so what are you doing here with
Speaker 1: your fifteen? SECONDS i called another.
Speaker 2: Picture i'm gonna Take Alec, manoa get my, strikeouts get
Speaker 2: my wins on a nice pick and that coming, Back
Speaker 2: i'm tempted to double. Tap and you know what is
Speaker 2: there's some other good value out. There BUT i feel
Speaker 2: like we're gonna move to a different. Tier you know,
Speaker 2: WHAT i just caught.
Speaker 1: Myself Alec manoa went and Then Flaherty yelich to close

Speaker 1: Value i'm just pissed Because verlander was my ace in
Speaker 1: the hole here And team nine swooped in there right before.
Speaker 1: Me Jerk.
Speaker 2: Joe WHEN i was going it was Between rogers And.
Speaker 2: VERLANDER i was staring at and hoping he might come.
Speaker 1: Well depending on how you built the. Front that's HOW
Speaker 1: i look At, verland, like if you have if you
Speaker 1: have two really good, starters you could take the chance
Speaker 1: On rogers. Innings, OTHERWISE i Think verlander goes right to
Speaker 1: two hundred Again Bellinger. Chapman now me on the clock
Speaker 1: for another. Pick looking at the. Queue in terms of,
Speaker 1: pictures there's two THAT i really, Like shane McClanahan And Mike.
Speaker 1: Clevenger so What i'm gonna do Is i'm gonna ahead
Speaker 1: and take. McClanahan i love. Him and Then i'm gonna
Speaker 1: go ahead AND i get a value pick thumbs, up
Speaker 1: thank you very, Much Draft, wizard and Then i'm gonna
Speaker 1: take DO i double dip AM i a complete and
Speaker 1: utter jerk in doing. That i'm gonna take a look
Speaker 1: at the pitching real quick and see what's available because
Speaker 1: there's a part of me that kind of wants to do,
Speaker 1: that kind of wants To Carls rodn has really a
Speaker 1: great spot. HERE i Think i'm gonna. WAIT i Think
Speaker 1: i'm gonna. Wait, Instead i'm gonna take a little bit more.
Speaker 1: Offense So i'm gonna go ahead and go back to the.
Speaker 1: Queue see what's available That i've thrown in. There i'm
Speaker 1: gonna take another player that can play in two different spots,
Speaker 1: here and gonna Take Jared walsh because he qualifies at
Speaker 1: first base in. Outfield between him And, SCHWARBER i was
Speaker 1: going back and forth taking a Lot schwarber this, year
Speaker 1: So i'm doing something. Different but once, AGAIN i could
Speaker 1: keep him at First if more outfield guys come, out that's.
Speaker 1: Great IF i Like schwarbur somehow he magically makes it
Speaker 1: back to, me, okay then MAYBE i take him next.
Speaker 1: Time Carls rodn goes right after that, pick no, Surprise
Speaker 1: i'm me Edmun Jordan, Romano Mike mayer ten oh. Five
Speaker 1: you are on the.
Speaker 4: Clock so my last Pick Bobby wit Was that's another
Speaker 4: one where you talk about it's kind of like a
Speaker 4: format specific, Too Like i'm more willing to bet On
Speaker 4: Bobby witt in a points league than in a categories.
Speaker 4: League so you can kind of live with some of
Speaker 4: those growing pains more and so another GUY i read.
Speaker 1: Not only that if you don't have middle, infield you
Speaker 1: could take anybody later and just Got William naums or
Speaker 1: we were Talking Brandon. Crawford just stash them on the
Speaker 1: bench just in case things don't work, out.
Speaker 4: Right, Yeah and a lot of people are doing, that
Speaker 4: like they're Combining tattiste with those. Guys another GUY i
Speaker 4: like for a points league for my outfield Is Austin,
Speaker 4: meadows and So i'm going to take him. HERE i
Speaker 4: THINK i can get thirty home runs out of him
Speaker 4: this year and really just load, up continue to load
Speaker 4: up on power in my.
Speaker 1: Outfield all, Right Austin. Meadows another guy added Along. Welsh
Speaker 1: Get Blake snell does not make it To, welsh but who,
Speaker 1: knows maybe he could still make the next pick In
Speaker 1: Blake snell Voice Josh Bell ateno, Seven Kyle schwarber is
Speaker 1: not going to make it back to, me, Kids i'm
Speaker 1: sorry ten oh Eight frano mil of teno, Nine YOU'RE.
Speaker 3: Onq and was Literally sba And.
Speaker 2: Reys those were the TWO i was going here AND
Speaker 2: i just got. Murdered that was, brutal And snell was
Speaker 2: my backup. OPTION i really don't like a lot of
Speaker 2: what is going on with the.
Speaker 3: Outfield, Now oh that's kind of a sneaky. Pick twenty seconds.
Speaker 3: LAST i just want to.

Speaker 2: Right i'm gonna go With.
Speaker 3: God i'm gonna go With Nathany. Evaldi that's a.
Speaker 1: Your get your. DUDE a lot of shares this year
Speaker 1: between our mock drafts of you And Nady. Evaldi what
Speaker 1: what is it About evaldi you like so?
Speaker 2: Much it's solid, numbers it's solid, numbers it's a good team.
Speaker 2: Context he gets it. Done we did some blind plays
Speaker 2: with him, too and it was absurd when you blindly.
Speaker 3: Look at some of his stats versus.
Speaker 2: Others it's like top twenty five sp upside or are
Speaker 2: you REALLY.
Speaker 1: I love doing. That i'm surprised you passed On, kershaw
Speaker 1: who actually went right. AFTER i thought that might be
Speaker 1: the guy you. Take But, Hoskins Kenley, Jansen Chris, bassett
Speaker 1: another guy From MIKE c gone. Eleven oh, three, wells
Speaker 1: you're up on the, clock all.
Speaker 2: Right we're gonna fill out another util spot. Here, actually
Speaker 2: that frame and one is still killing. ME i think
Speaker 2: it is a pretty good value. Here i'm gonna go
Speaker 2: With Nelson cruz at one twenty.
Speaker 1: Three all, Right Nelson cruz at one twenty. Three also
Speaker 1: in my queue no, Longer Sean. Manaya Also Mike, cue
Speaker 1: he's gone eleven oh. FOUR i think he's gonna get

Speaker 1: there will my backup first base plans also, Gone Giovanni
Speaker 1: diegos eleven oh. Seven Mike, mayer you're on the clock
Speaker 1: for eleven to oh, Eight so.
Speaker 4: Kursha i'm glad you mention, him Because i'm he's another
Speaker 4: Guy i'm grabbing a ton like in these late rounds
Speaker 4: because he's such a value here in categories. LEAGUES i
Speaker 4: don't know THAT i love him as much in points
Speaker 4: leagues BECAUSE i don't know what the innings are gonna look.
Speaker 3: Like and how much he's gonna rest, Exactly.
Speaker 4: Whereas categories you can get away with them. MORE a
Speaker 4: GUY i do like a lot in points leagues Is Pablo,
Speaker 4: lopez And i'm gonna get. Here he's just got great.
Speaker 4: STUFF i wrote about him a lot last. Year The
Speaker 4: marlins are probably not gonna be a great team, again
Speaker 4: but he's gonna be a ton of, innings a ton of,
Speaker 4: strikeouts So i'm not worried about the injuries last. Year
Speaker 4: at the end of last, year he came. BACK i

Speaker 1: corey Kaniebl Mike, mayer you're on the clock for thirteen oh.
Speaker 4: Eight, yeah so outfield is still really. Gross as A
Speaker 4: Red sox, FAN i also don't really understand why they
Speaker 4: Traded Hunter renfro away after what he did for them last,
Speaker 4: year especially you, know not fantasy, related but you, know
Speaker 4: the right field he was able to play for. Them
Speaker 4: there's another PITCHER i really like that is A joe
Speaker 4: guy That i'm gonna grab right now before the clock runs.
Speaker 4: Out Is Framber valdez around out my.
Speaker 1: Staff framber is the color of my. Energy mayor you
Speaker 1: know that very, well Lordas guriel goes, next Then Trent,
Speaker 1: Grisham Edwardo, rodriguez Another Joe, pieza pa favorite three thirteen
Speaker 1: eleven is a steal in a head to head, points
Speaker 1: especially if you're playing two points per k FOR Edwardo.
Speaker 1: Rodriguez all, right that puts me on the. Clock now looking,
Speaker 1: AROUND i could go first base IF i want guys
Speaker 1: Like Gariel Trey mancini not terrible picks. There that's kind
Speaker 1: of what The wizard is pushing me to. Do DO
Speaker 1: i want to do. IT i THINK i might also
Speaker 1: kind of Like Eddie rosario, too now that he's just
Speaker 1: a brave. AGAIN i know they might give me a slight,
Speaker 1: reach BUT i think he is very. Good he's the
Speaker 1: top lift according to, that AND i could use a
Speaker 1: little bit more pop in the. OUTFIELD i think he's
Speaker 1: a safe bet. There SO i like, That and then
Speaker 1: let's go back to the queue and see who else
Speaker 1: is available for. Me there are a couple of really
Speaker 1: good PICTURES i really like out, there BUT i am
Speaker 1: a huge fan of a few guys left THAT i
Speaker 1: THINK i can wait. On even THOUGH i filled my.
Speaker 1: Staff i'm gonna be a Little i'm gonna take a
Speaker 1: sneaky snake later. ON i Think i'm gonna continue on
Speaker 1: and just get a little bit more offense looking around the. Outfield, Dylan,
Speaker 1: Carlson Alex. Verdugo those are some of the names floating out, There.
Speaker 1: Welsh anything between those two, guys is there one you
Speaker 1: favor more than?
Speaker 2: Another and in this, format like if we were, talking you, Know,
Speaker 2: RODO i probably would go for Du.
Speaker 3: Goo IF i.
Speaker 2: Wanted to steal some, BASSES i might Go carlson a
Speaker 2: little bit. More but in THIS i, Mean i'll be
Speaker 2: honest with. You i've got them. BOTH i want another.

Speaker 1: mayer you? Selected WHO i.
Speaker 4: Took Dylan carlson that you guys are just talking about. Him,
Speaker 4: also he's still really. YOUNG i don't have any shares
Speaker 4: this year BECAUSE i think he's going a little too

Speaker 4: in this draft kind of like rounding on my. Outfield you,
Speaker 4: KNOW i love the, pick AND i love the upside.
Speaker 4: Here he's still only twenty three years. Old like you were,
Speaker 4: saying you're. EARLIER i think he's another guy that can

Speaker 1: Agreed Adolas garcia, Avasel garcia, Wrong, garcia hit it WHEN
Speaker 1: i get My garcia is twisted fourteen oh, six then
Speaker 1: fourteen oh, Seven Yola mancata fourteen oh, Eight Alex vrdugo

Speaker 2: gets back to.
Speaker 3: Struggling but you, know he's a power, guy SO i like.
Speaker 2: That, ISH i don't really like anything that's going on,

Speaker 1: Exciting ashby is a little exciting to. Me BUT i
Speaker 1: THINK i want to go for one more bat, First
Speaker 1: So i'm gonna go ahead and continue to look at the.
Speaker 1: C chapman's the guy THAT i, wanted but unfortunately he's
Speaker 1: no longer. Available don't Like, ketcher never a big fan of.
Speaker 1: That everybody who knows me knows. That looking at all
Speaker 1: the hitters, Remaining Charlie blackman's what it's telling. ME i
Speaker 1: GUESS i could do worse Than Charlie. Blackman ian Hap,
Speaker 1: rosario you know, What i'll listen to the. Wizard i'll
Speaker 1: take the top lift Of Charlie blackman for my last utility.
Speaker 1: Spot all, Right let's go To Kekey hernandez next at
Speaker 1: sixteen oh, two Then stroman at sixteen oh, Three lance
Speaker 1: Mccullor speak of The devil at sixteen oh, four sixteen oh,
Speaker 1: Five Mike, mary you're up on the, clock.
Speaker 4: So i'm probably gonna get another reach alert for. This
Speaker 4: but this is a guy WHO i really think showed
Speaker 4: some things last year but then kind of got hurt
Speaker 4: and people forgot about. Him AND i think he's gonna
Speaker 4: like take off of The twins this year And Eric
Speaker 4: alex Kirol.
Speaker 1: Off and SO i Love kiraalof just wrote about. It
Speaker 1: Taking he is in My Breakout team spoiler alert that
Speaker 1: we're gonna do next. WEEK i think That's Monday Show.
Speaker 1: Welsh so, UH i hope you're excited for that.
Speaker 4: One.
Speaker 1: Everyone kirolof goes. Next desklofani at sixteen oh, Six ryan,
Speaker 1: McMahon WHO i almost took at SIXTEEN i, wanted that's
Speaker 1: what you. Wanted jose You'r cudi at sixteen oh, eight
Speaker 1: Kyber luiz sixteen oh, Nine The welsh at sixteen oh ten.
Speaker 3: Is up Oh.
Speaker 2: Man third base just a it's just a constant with.
Speaker 2: ME i have to take one position AND i just
Speaker 2: have to let it completely fall, apart and that's What
Speaker 2: i've done third. Base so we've only got two more picks.
Speaker 2: Here there's a couple of good outfielders out. HERE i
Speaker 2: am going to go With, Ooh i'm gonna go With.
Speaker 2: Badu we'll take the top guy on, here a Kil
Speaker 2: badu to fill out my. Outfield and THEN.
Speaker 1: I only think With badu is the strikeouts in a
Speaker 1: format like, This just to throw that out there for
Speaker 1: folks listening the negative strikeout, things keep that in, mind
Speaker 1: depending on if it's minus point five or minus one
Speaker 1: or As mayor likes to allude to minus, five which
Speaker 1: is probably not a good.
Speaker 2: Choice and if it were minus one THAT i tend
Speaker 2: to kind of like not care about the strikeout guys
Speaker 2: LIKE i Wanted Joey gallo. Earlier he, went that doesn't gnorry.
Speaker 2: Me unless it's a format that really really pushes back on,
Speaker 2: strikeouts then of COURSE i would.
Speaker 3: Adjust so we've only got two picks.
Speaker 2: LEFT i hate all of the third, basemen, desperate just
Speaker 2: desperately hate all of, them And i'm gonna, take you
Speaker 2: know What i'm GONNA i usually don't do. This i'm
Speaker 2: gonna take my third basement last here BECAUSE i want
Speaker 2: to ensure myself THAT i Get Gary. Sanchez AND i
Speaker 2: know it won't be, popular but big power in a
Speaker 2: points league and he'll be ghing In. Minnesota that's something
Speaker 2: THAT i get excited about AND i keep missing out on,
Speaker 2: him SO i locked him as my, catcher all.
Speaker 1: Right so After kilbado went A Doulas, garcia Another. GARCIA
Speaker 1: a lot Of garcias in the draft, Today Michael Brantleyjree,
Speaker 1: Solaire Robbie, gross and Then welsh Took Gary, Sanchez Jean
Speaker 1: sigare at seventeen oh, four seventeen oh five touring. Schoolble
Speaker 1: we Have rogers from The twins at seventeen oh six
Speaker 1: And ree seventeen oh. Seven That Mike mayer is seventeen oh.
Speaker 1: Eight you are on the.
Speaker 4: Clock So Gary sanchez is probably gonna be my. PICK
Speaker 4: i was looking at him As welsh picked, them AND
Speaker 4: i was, like DO i want to do? That and
Speaker 4: Then welsh picked, him SO i don't have to worry about.
Speaker 4: It i'm GONNA i don't have this guy, anywhere AND
Speaker 4: i rarely, do But i'm gonna grab on That rosario
Speaker 4: here just to fill out my utility. Spot you, know
Speaker 4: if you're kind of like thinking roster, construction it's gonna
Speaker 4: be short stopped outfield. Eligible you can kind of gives
Speaker 4: you some roster. FLEXIBILITY i think The guardians are going
Speaker 4: to be bad and they're gonna let him run.
Speaker 1: All right down to. Me Brandon rodgers Went. Ano they're
Speaker 1: one of my favorite guys. There Ahmed rosario went To,
Speaker 1: mayor Then, Montgomery Brandon, Rodgers Scott. Barlow, now since it's
Speaker 1: only two MANDATORY rp spots, again you're twenty four deep
Speaker 1: in a twelve team, league so you have a little
Speaker 1: flexibility with. That So i'm gonna Take Hazus lozardo on
Speaker 1: the off. Channel he ends up in that, rotation he
Speaker 1: qualifies AT. Rp SO i Have, LOZARDO i Have Christian.
Speaker 1: JAVIER i want a two start weak people to. Death
Speaker 1: that is my. Plan And i'll just take A colorado
Speaker 1: catcher And Elias diaz and night roster is now officially
Speaker 1: filled going. Up Mitch garver goes. Next then we Have
Speaker 1: escobar from The mets at eighteen oh, Three Noah cindergard
Speaker 1: formerly The mets at eighteen oh. Four Mike, mayer you're
Speaker 1: on the clock for eighteen oh, five.
Speaker 4: SO i only have to fill out my, catcher And
Speaker 4: i'm just gonna take a CATCHER i take all the,
Speaker 4: time year every. Year In Christian. Vasquez he's he's hitting
Speaker 4: in a good bark lineup even gonna steal a few
Speaker 4: basis for.
Speaker 1: You there you go The Christian, Veasquez Patrick sandoval an
Speaker 1: absolute steal here at eighteen oh, Six Travis Darnault Andrew
Speaker 1: kittridge at eighteen oh, Eight bobby's all back eighteen oh. Nine, well,
Speaker 1: shoot did you select? There BECAUSE i went straight into
Speaker 1: the wizard here after Mister Spencer.
Speaker 2: Torkelsen why NOT i think to break. CAMP i think
Speaker 2: it's all but said as the first, baseman AND i
Speaker 2: get him as my third baseman in. Here and since
Speaker 2: it's the last pick and we're not doing benches and,
Speaker 2: stuff why WOULD i not take a, huge massive upside.
Speaker 2: Player and then at this POINT i would just pick
Speaker 2: up somebody else As i'm digging into the dirt hole
Speaker 2: of third basement THAT i have put myself.
Speaker 1: In so now the Draft wizard is set up for For,
Speaker 1: YEAH i, agree and all upside, right you can always
Speaker 1: pick somebody else at third base on the bench and
Speaker 1: you make it. Up the grades are going to be
Speaker 1: awful little because again it's it's not a perfect system
Speaker 1: here for The Points. League so we're gonna focus a
Speaker 1: little less on grades and a little bit more on
Speaker 1: the roster construction. Theory So, welsh what was the grade
Speaker 1: you got from the draft? Wizard just out of? Curiosity
Speaker 1: it gave me A.
Speaker 3: B plus eighty eight out of one, hundred so be
Speaker 3: play very.
Speaker 1: NICE i only got A c so seventy three for.
Speaker 1: Me BUT i love this. Team i'd go to war
Speaker 1: with this team in a. Second how about, You, MAYOR
Speaker 1: i bet it loved.
Speaker 4: YOU i got AN a, MINUS i got a ninety.
Speaker 1: Look at, you, everybody all the mayor. Stuff let's start
Speaker 1: With mayor's. Team then let's let's get the insights From mayor's.
Speaker 1: Team who liked your team quite a? Bit when it
Speaker 1: gets to the expert, opinions give us some of the,
Speaker 1: guys BECAUSE i KNOW i liked my team quite a.
Speaker 4: Bit here on My let's see the person who liked
Speaker 4: it the most Is Andy barons and expert opinions The
Speaker 4: Rodo champs site, Projections Fred, Zinky Scott engel And Andrew.
Speaker 1: Gould, okay who hated thumbs down From welsh and thumbs
Speaker 1: down from, well well that's good you.
Speaker 3: Did oh you didn't get Mount, castle so a thumbs? Down,
Speaker 3: okay all, Right?
Speaker 1: Welsh who are the expert opinion thumbs up and thumbs
Speaker 1: down for your.
Speaker 2: Draft, so my dear, friend Mister Scott white loved my
Speaker 2: draft more than anybody over AT. Cbs AND i gotta
Speaker 2: be honest with. You what DO i gotta do For
Speaker 2: dalton Delle don to like my?
Speaker 3: Draft what DO i have to do at this point
Speaker 3: every single? Draft what does he hate so? Much? What
Speaker 3: why are they so angry? Him guess who's my number one?
Speaker 4: Hater?
Speaker 3: Pinowski who is his number? Two dalton Delle? Don why
Speaker 3: do they hate so? MUCH i don't.
Speaker 4: UNDERSTAND i have some bad news for you. There do
Speaker 4: you know who the most, accurate oh, no baseball expert
Speaker 4: was last? Year?
Speaker 2: Yeah, Sure dalton Dell. Don, yeah and he hates. It
Speaker 2: he hits every single Draft i've ever. Done so don't
Speaker 2: listen to, me listen to my care and listen To Dalton.
Speaker 3: Hill that's what you guys should.
Speaker 4: Do.
Speaker 3: Clearly, wow this.
Speaker 1: Is the perfect segue of all. Segues CAN i just
Speaker 1: for a moment because thumbs up in my? Draft no
Speaker 1: one likes my draft more Than Joe Pisa pia, obviously but,
Speaker 1: Second dalton Dell don likes my, draft and of Course
Speaker 1: Scott bogman Because WELSH i, Mean Scott bogman always likes my,
Speaker 1: draft and you who else likes my? Draft somebody From Fantasy,
Speaker 1: pros some guy Named Mike mayer likes my. Draft so
Speaker 1: how about them apples like?
Speaker 3: Mine you LIKE.
Speaker 1: I liked it while it was, GOING i got, it
Speaker 1: And i'm.
Speaker 3: Saying and you liked it on?
Speaker 2: Here it was, you, You josh From Fantasy, pros And
Speaker 2: joe Piez apia my top three likes.
Speaker 1: Here so all, right there you have. It let's let's
Speaker 1: run through the rosters, too BECAUSE i think that's really.
Speaker 1: Important So, welsh let's go through your team here and
Speaker 1: talk about the, concept the roster, construction how you built it. Out,
Speaker 1: Yeah Gary sanchez a, Catcher Vlad guerrero at, first Kateel
Speaker 1: marte at, Second Glabor torres at, Short torcos in a,
Speaker 1: third then the Outfield Robert, MARK. Jd, Martinez, Hunter, Renfero Aquil,
Speaker 1: Badu paul Gold schmitt in utility With Nelson. Cruz so
Speaker 1: from an offense and, standpoint we certainly have some. Power
Speaker 1: you have upside with a guy Like. Torkosen If torres bounces,
Speaker 1: back it's, huge but a pretty good floor when you
Speaker 1: get Get Vlad guerrero along in the same team With Louis, ROBERT. J.
Speaker 1: D martinez And Paul. Goldschmith that that's a good weekly four.
Speaker 3: POINTS i, Think, Yeah i'm pretty happy with.
Speaker 2: It it's, interesting, though what if had said IF i
Speaker 2: had Drafted soto instead and drafted a first basement, LATER
Speaker 2: i would have scored.
Speaker 3: HIGHER i was.
Speaker 2: More looking at drafting Like Eric cole first and seeing
Speaker 2: HOW i would have put that. TOGETHER i don't know
Speaker 2: If i'm in love with this, team BUT i accomplished
Speaker 2: a lot of WHAT i wanted to. Accomplish as far
Speaker 2: as getting like really big power. Bats my obvious logic
Speaker 2: would be they are going to.
Speaker 3: Touch in on runs AND. RBI i obviously don't want.
Speaker 2: Crazy Hit albatross's that it's one of the things that
Speaker 2: might not be an advantage for guys Like Joey, gallo
Speaker 2: but the homers just means so. MUCH i accomplish most of,
Speaker 2: it though some of the players didn't work out quite
Speaker 2: WHERE i want. It LIKE i, said Having glabor in,
Speaker 2: there and you, KNOW i would have liked to have
Speaker 2: gambled less With. Torque still got, him but not have
Speaker 2: him as like the starting third base. Spot so like
Speaker 2: IF i were grading, MYSELF i probably grade this one
Speaker 2: honestly as like A b on, offense.
Speaker 3: AND i like my pitching a lot. BETTER i THOUGHT
Speaker 3: i put that pitching is.
Speaker 1: Great, yeah, yeah but the pitching is the most important.
Speaker 1: Part Urius Aaron nola than you. Got so you've locked
Speaker 1: in your top two. Guys Hopefully noel a little bit
Speaker 1: more consistent this. Year we'll see Then Rogers, Manoa Nathan,
Speaker 1: Evaldiyah Louis savarino And Ranger. SUAREZ i, MEAN i think
Speaker 1: this is a. Terrific if you can come away with
Speaker 1: this kind of pitching staff in a point so, LEAGUE
Speaker 1: i think you will be very competitive to.
Speaker 2: It, Yeah i'm that this is WHERE i would give,
Speaker 2: myself like THE a. Is as far as what the,
Speaker 2: pitchings you could push a name or two LIKE i.
Speaker 2: Wanted Joe musgrove is pitcher three so BAD i can't even.
Speaker 1: Tell you he's my pitcher. Five oh, No i'm sorry
Speaker 1: That clevenger is my pitcher.
Speaker 3: Five.
Speaker 1: YEAH i want To madres for.
Speaker 2: A, second, anything and IF i could have had, that
Speaker 2: that might have changed my perception a little. Bit BUT
Speaker 2: i like the pitching. Staff my hitting is what held me.
Speaker 2: Down it's not my favorite team THAT i put. Together you,
Speaker 2: know you got your guys' construction is probably going to
Speaker 2: be a little bit.
Speaker 1: Better let's talk About mayor's construction. Here Mike, Mayor Christian
Speaker 1: vasquez is your fallback, catcher but you Got Freddie freeman
Speaker 1: locked in there is your big. Dude then you Have
Speaker 1: Jonathan indy at second, Base bobby With junior at, Short
Speaker 1: alex bregmant. Third so the infield certainly, strong with potential
Speaker 1: for a whole lot more with a bounce back From
Speaker 1: bregman and a breakout From. Wit you've Got Kyle, Tucker
Speaker 1: Nick Cassiano's Austin, Meadows Dylan, Carlson Alex, Kirolov Ed. Rosario
Speaker 1: how do you feel about the offense, Here, MAYOR.
Speaker 4: I feel pretty. Good like you, said there's a little
Speaker 4: bit of risk on the less side of my infield
Speaker 4: With bregman and With, Wit and LIKE i said at the,
Speaker 4: Time i'm a little bit more comfortable gamembling On wit
Speaker 4: in a points. FORMAT i am a little. Nervous nervous
Speaker 4: in like in, categories you, know with some of like
Speaker 4: the ups and downs you're probably going to see from
Speaker 4: him this, Year but in. POINTS i like the upside. There.
Speaker 1: Agreed all, right let's get to your pitching staff, Here Lucas,
Speaker 1: Giolino Max freed living in living in that ONE a
Speaker 1: tier so, nice, Uh Dylan cees right after, That Pablo,
Speaker 1: lopez Franber, valdez Then Michael kopek And Tanner. HAWKE i
Speaker 1: love how all three of us did the same. Thing
Speaker 1: we gained the system with two starting pitchers as. RELIEVERS
Speaker 1: i WISH i you, KNOW i have so much regret
Speaker 1: as you Took, COPEC i almost took him in that same.
Speaker 1: Round but looking back at this, staff what are your
Speaker 1: thoughts on how it would lay out and how it
Speaker 1: would play.
Speaker 4: Out it's funny you both said you might have done
Speaker 4: it around early, earlier AND i was, like AS i
Speaker 4: was doing, IT i was, like AM i around too
Speaker 4: early on? This SHOULD i wait another? Round and So
Speaker 4: i'm glad THAT i. Didn't, yeah in terms of like the,
Speaker 4: pitching AS i was, saying like in the, beginning this
Speaker 4: is like the ideal kind of build for me is
Speaker 4: avoiding the risk of degram seeing if you can slide
Speaker 4: into the top of that next tier in Gi, alito
Speaker 4: and then beefing it up with like guyas Like, freed
Speaker 4: and see Some Pablo lopez and Vanber, valdez because there's
Speaker 4: just so many good pitchers in that kind of like
Speaker 4: middle you, know it takes so long for starting pitching
Speaker 4: to just like you, know run out of the, gas
Speaker 4: whereas with like outfield and third, base there's a clear cliff.
Speaker 1: Agreed and for, ME i showed you the other, version
Speaker 1: which is the top heavy double a. Strategy so we
Speaker 1: all showed you different. Stuff welsh And mayor did WHAT
Speaker 1: i would normally. Do but at the twelve sometimes if
Speaker 1: you get those guys we got first round grades, on
Speaker 1: you got to just go with the draft. Board So
Speaker 1: i'll start with the offense. Too Here elias Di as a,
Speaker 1: Catcher Chris bryan at, First Wit maryfield at, Second Carlos
Speaker 1: kore at, Short Brian hayes a, Third Eloya, Menez Brian,
Speaker 1: Reynolds Jared, Walsh Eddie, Rosario Josh, Jonnson Charlie. BLACKMAN i
Speaker 1: look at this, Offense, welsh and these are a lot
Speaker 1: of guys who are hitting towards the top of an,
Speaker 1: order which is very. Productive that's What i'm looking for
Speaker 1: in points leagues. Too it's almost like dfs tick guys
Speaker 1: in that one through, four one through five. Spot they
Speaker 1: get the extra bats typically more, productive it's where the
Speaker 1: runs are. Scored what do you think of this?
Speaker 2: Offense, well, YEAH i mean there's some names THAT i specifically.
Speaker 2: Wanted one that's killing. ME i almost wish the Draft
Speaker 2: wizard would Have what if is The bryant? ONE i
Speaker 2: think that might have been even THOUGH i Took Paul.
Speaker 2: Goldchman by the, WAY i think from a roster construction,
Speaker 2: standpoint my team would have FELT i would have been
Speaker 2: a lot more, comfortable AND i might have made some better.
Speaker 2: Decisions that's another thing to think about when you're putting these.
Speaker 2: Together as much AS i Like, goldie HAD i Taken
Speaker 2: bryant WHEN i THOUGHT i should take, HIM i would
Speaker 2: have had that third base, spot AND i probably would
Speaker 2: have felt a little bit more comfortable about some of that,
Speaker 2: infield AND i might have put a priority later to,
Speaker 2: get you, know LIKE i Got Nelson, cruz maybe ANOTHER
Speaker 2: dh into that. SPOT i feel LIKE i would have
Speaker 2: liked my team better HAD i Taken Chris. BRANDT i
Speaker 2: also Wanted. KOREA i Love Eloi jimenez not as big
Speaker 2: as On Brian reynolds like where you took him as you,
Speaker 2: did but you've got power and contact kind of across the.
Speaker 2: BOARD i think that's a big. Key you're not going
Speaker 2: to try to kill him with big HOMER rbi. Numbers
Speaker 2: you're gonna kill him singles and. Doubles you're gonna chip
Speaker 2: away at those stats all. Week so this is a
Speaker 2: pretty SOLID i wouldn't give this like an eight plus,
Speaker 2: offense but this is a pretty solid. Offense you put
Speaker 2: together with some NAMES i really WISH.
Speaker 1: I, had it doesn't have That, Sodo Trey, Turner Vlad.
Speaker 1: Guy so instead if because you go pitching, early which
Speaker 1: you gotta do then is pivot to you got to
Speaker 1: make sure you got a dude at every, spot right
Speaker 1: like With maryfield's a. DUDE i Think Eloya mate is a.
Speaker 1: Dude reynolds is a. Dude Like Jared walsh is gonna
Speaker 1: hit thirty bombs this, Year Eddie rosario could hit twenty
Speaker 1: five to Thirty donaldson same.
Speaker 4: Thing.
Speaker 1: LIKE i think as long as you continue to pinpoint
Speaker 1: guys in good spots and lineups in points, leagues you
Speaker 1: can make up the deficit if you decide to go pitching.
Speaker 1: Early SO i did go pitching. Early that pitching staff
Speaker 1: at the end of the day Was Max, Scherzer Walker
Speaker 1: bueller one and Two Charlie morton at the. Three that's about, what,
Speaker 1: LIKE i don't, know a thousand strike caofts between those three,
Speaker 1: guys Uh seane McClanahan And Mike, clevenger Then Christian hoveyer
Speaker 1: And Hazus. LOZARDO i KNOW i took some risks with
Speaker 1: the relievers, here mayor what do you think of this
Speaker 1: pitching staff THAT i put, together especially those nasty boys
Speaker 1: at the.
Speaker 4: Top, well the only thing about the nasty boys at
Speaker 4: the top is there's a little bit of risk, there,
Speaker 4: right and so that would be fuller.
Speaker 1: Insureser what's the risk Of surezer at this? POINT i,
Speaker 1: mean every year the guy leads the league of. Shortcounts
Speaker 1: what are we doing to ourselves? Here?
Speaker 4: Right but he's just just one hundred years. Old if
Speaker 4: he finally did start to show his age a little
Speaker 4: bit last, year you, know there was some injuries and
Speaker 4: he kept coming back from.
Speaker 1: Them but like at some point Off funians while he
Speaker 1: was you, know negotiating the labor. Agreement SO i hope
Speaker 1: that's going to work. Out my favorite but you're not.
Speaker 1: Wrong you're.
Speaker 3: NOT i want to say it was Cool, ranch.
Speaker 1: But That funians is. Funnier by the, way Cool ranch
Speaker 1: is my preferred to, rito mayor do you have a
Speaker 1: preferred to?
Speaker 4: Rito definitely not Cool. Ranch what's like the? Original like red?
Speaker 1: One that's the ONE i, like not just like nacho.
Speaker 1: Cheese you know you say that spicy sweet chili one
Speaker 1: is good.
Speaker 4: TOO i like that.
Speaker 2: One nacho cheese is like the go. To BUT i
Speaker 2: find myself IF I i'm in a chip pinch THERE
Speaker 2: i do Go Cool. Ranch here's a side one if
Speaker 2: you want to pretend to feel better about. Yourself they
Speaker 2: have organic tortilla ones that are the doritos, now so
Speaker 2: you can have white cheddar organic tortilla chips and it's
Speaker 2: just like you, know your little tortilla chip, action maybe
Speaker 2: a little mark or something like.
Speaker 3: That some white. Cheddar huh go very.
Speaker 1: Nice my what if is IF i had Taken Mookie
Speaker 1: betts and just one of those two, PITCHERS i would
Speaker 1: have been significantly higher and probably so and because of
Speaker 1: the way the pitching is tiered, OUT i would have
Speaker 1: been very happy IF i ended up With verlander And
Speaker 1: morton is my two to three. INSTEAD i think that
Speaker 1: would have been perfectly. Fine but this is what's so
Speaker 1: great about the, Draft Wizards, off where it gives you
Speaker 1: all these insights so you can learn and get. Better
Speaker 1: And i'm glad we were able to give you some
Speaker 1: points league love out, there because points leagues are leagues,
Speaker 1: too and they deserve, it and a big growing sector
Speaker 1: of the fantasy baseball community a lot of people shifting
Speaker 1: over there. ENOUGH i always hate when people, say, Oh
Speaker 1: i'm in a ten by ten, league AND i, go,
Speaker 1: why why aren't you just in a points. LEAGUE i
Speaker 1: don't understand why you're doing this to yourself where every
Speaker 1: category is the, same because it's not find all the,
Speaker 1: stats wait them. Appropriately stolen base shouldn't be worth as
Speaker 1: much as a home, run a save shouldn't be as
Speaker 1: much as a quality start or a. Win this is
Speaker 1: called logic AND i hope we're bringing that to you
