We've got fresh back from Seattle. 7 00:00:25,360 --> 00:00:27,280 Speaker 1: He may or may not have joined a grunge band 8 00:00:27,280 --> 00:00:29,040 Speaker 1: at some point for over the weekend.

No, he was, he was upright. Yeah, there was 20 00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:00,960 Speaker 3: no for him. 21 00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:04,040 Speaker 1: But Fundston when he gets to Flex League in New 22 00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:08,440 Speaker 1: York weird things happen for Funston. Wow, Oh, very loose, 23 00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:12,280 Speaker 1: very loose. I think I was more of the loose 24 00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:16,759 Speaker 1: guy at the Futures game. So yeah, I'll just leave 25 00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:19,120 Speaker 1: it at that. So well, it looks like I was 26 00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:21,880 Speaker 1: gone and not you, So there you go. It's that's 27 00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:24,319 Speaker 1: what happens when you take a couple of days off. Crazy, 28 00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:28,520 Speaker 1: So let it go. I know, just just move on. 29 00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:31,000 Speaker 1: So let's talk about it. Let's talk about the draft 30 00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:33,800 Speaker 1: first of all, which is a fun event that MLB 31 00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:36,000 Speaker 1: is really trying to push and make a thing. I 32 00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:38,679 Speaker 1: always say it's hard because you know, most general public 33 00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:42,160 Speaker 1: and casual fans or even hardcore fans of baseball, you know, 34 00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:44,280 Speaker 1: you don't get to see these guys play that much. 35 00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:45,920 Speaker 1: You see a little in the College World Series, but 36 00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:48,840 Speaker 1: it's not like college football every Saturday. It's not like, 37 00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:51,600 Speaker 1: you know, you go through the NCAA basketball tournament, you 38 00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:52,920 Speaker 1: see a lot of the guys go to the NBA. 39 00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:55,440 Speaker 1: So I know, you know, we're familiar with some of 40 00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:57,120 Speaker 1: the Skeens and some of the other guys that you 41 00:01:57,160 --> 00:01:59,680 Speaker 1: know we're in the top ten. But how was that? Overall? 42 00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:01,960 Speaker 1: Is a few for an event for you are just curious. 43 00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:03,520 Speaker 3: As an event. It was very cool. 44 00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:06,240 Speaker 2: Now, I had to talk to the Welsh about a 45 00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:08,639 Speaker 2: lot of these players because I don't know a lot 46 00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:10,840 Speaker 2: of the guys that are going. Obviously, I'm more of 47 00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:13,680 Speaker 2: the Dynasty football guys, so I know the college football 48 00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:16,400 Speaker 2: guys more than the college baseball guys and high school guys. 49 00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:20,079 Speaker 2: But I talked to Welsh and he had basically said that, look, 50 00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:22,800 Speaker 2: the Pirates seem to be passing on both the LSU 51 00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:25,880 Speaker 2: guys and then the LSU guy, you know, Paul Skins 52 00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:28,680 Speaker 2: went first and I got a big pop and there 53 00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:30,720 Speaker 2: there was a good chunk of people. I mean, it 54 00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:35,359 Speaker 2: was at the Seahawks Stadium and the booze were loud. 55 00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:37,880 Speaker 2: But I did ask my buddy, who's a big Seahawks fan. 56 00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:40,359 Speaker 2: I was like, is this just like the weakest roar 57 00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:43,799 Speaker 2: you've ever heard in this stadium? And he's like, oh, yeah, 58 00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:46,600 Speaker 2: you know, because usually it's filled to the brim in 59 00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:49,320 Speaker 2: the Twelfth Man and all that stuff in Seattle. But 60 00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:53,520 Speaker 2: it was a lot of fun booing Rob Manfred. But 61 00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:56,120 Speaker 2: I feel like there might be more hatred for the 62 00:02:56,200 --> 00:03:00,800 Speaker 2: Houston Astros, you know, I mean, especially in Seattle, you know, 63 00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:04,760 Speaker 2: Division opponent. All that right, right, But I mean the 64 00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:08,480 Speaker 2: vitriol for the Astros. They booed Orbit, the mascot when 65 00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:11,280 Speaker 2: they were doing the mascot lineup before the home run 66 00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:14,959 Speaker 2: derby and all that stuff. I mean, people are still mad, 67 00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:18,519 Speaker 2: mad at the Astros, and that was They booed Kyle Tucker. 68 00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:21,640 Speaker 2: They booed everybody, so that was fun to see as well. 69 00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:25,280 Speaker 1: How was the derby for you as an event? You know, 70 00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:27,880 Speaker 1: some people think it goes on too long. I always 71 00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:29,640 Speaker 1: think I love the new time element. To me, it 72 00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:32,519 Speaker 1: makes things move a little quicker. But certainly Julio put 73 00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:34,280 Speaker 1: on a show. I was so mad though, box because 74 00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:36,800 Speaker 1: I had money in a rose arena. And then after 75 00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:38,960 Speaker 1: he advanced, guess what, Joey p put more money And 76 00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:41,480 Speaker 1: then he got to the finals and JOEYP said, oh yeah, 77 00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:44,360 Speaker 1: everything's coming up. Randy. I was one home run shy. 78 00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:48,200 Speaker 1: I was screaming at my television, screaming, stop rushing. Why 79 00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:50,560 Speaker 1: are you rushing? You need five more home runs? Stop it, 80 00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:52,880 Speaker 1: stop rushing. He was swinging so fast. They would throw 81 00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:55,320 Speaker 1: the ball so fast. I was losing my mind. It 82 00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:58,440 Speaker 1: was terrible. But outside of my pain, how was the event? 83 00:03:58,480 --> 00:03:58,800 Speaker 1: For you. 84 00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:01,440 Speaker 2: It was great And I did a draft with the 85 00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:04,840 Speaker 2: Welsh and a couple itl Army members and my two 86 00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:08,560 Speaker 2: picks show were Randy Rose, Lorena and Vlad. So I 87 00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:11,720 Speaker 2: was doing okay, I won no matter what in our 88 00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:14,920 Speaker 2: pick them. But I also bet my buddy a bunch 89 00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:16,800 Speaker 2: of money that Randy Rose Raine was going to be 90 00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:19,240 Speaker 2: flat because I thought Lad was gassed at the end, 91 00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:22,360 Speaker 2: and he was absolutely not gassed. He was playing choy 92 00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:24,839 Speaker 2: or whatever he was doing. But yeah, I mean the 93 00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:26,720 Speaker 2: timed element. So I had been to a couple home 94 00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:29,640 Speaker 2: un derbyes before, but I've never been to one with 95 00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:32,360 Speaker 2: the time element, and that just makes it so much better. 96 00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:35,479 Speaker 2: You probably need to get the kids out of the outfield, 97 00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:40,039 Speaker 2: to be honest, because another kid got drilled. So it's 98 00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:42,440 Speaker 2: happened like two or three times the last couple, Like, 99 00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:44,000 Speaker 2: just get him out of there, you know, what are 100 00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:44,200 Speaker 2: we doing? 101 00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:45,320 Speaker 1: Doesn't that build character? 102 00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:45,520 Speaker 2: Though? 103 00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:48,320 Speaker 3: I feel like that's you know, I think you can 104 00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:49,040 Speaker 3: build character. 105 00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:50,560 Speaker 2: Maybe there's a hot take, but I think he can 106 00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:52,400 Speaker 2: build character without taking one hundred and ten mile an 107 00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:54,120 Speaker 2: hour to the face from a baseball. 108 00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:56,520 Speaker 1: I don't know, well, maybe not to the face. What 109 00:04:56,600 --> 00:04:58,479 Speaker 1: about to like, you know, the side of the back 110 00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:01,640 Speaker 1: or something like that kid got into the face, so 111 00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:03,960 Speaker 1: you know, yeah, get a maut of that's what gloves are. 112 00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:07,840 Speaker 1: Four bogs. Put that glove up, son, Yep, that's right son. 113 00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:10,480 Speaker 1: If you're not, you know, listen, you know you gotta 114 00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:12,920 Speaker 1: get the glove up. All right, let's talk a little 115 00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:14,839 Speaker 1: baseball because baseball is back and I want, I mean, 116 00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:16,360 Speaker 1: it's very rare you get to talk about who was 117 00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:18,080 Speaker 1: at all the All Star festivities in the game was 118 00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:20,880 Speaker 1: actually pretty good too. Of course it moved very well too, 119 00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:23,120 Speaker 1: uh the pace of game, but looking up at the 120 00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:25,680 Speaker 1: stats bogs at the All Star Game of everybody and 121 00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:27,840 Speaker 1: looking at some of the stolen based totals, it was 122 00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:29,720 Speaker 1: really one of these things you sit back and just go, man, 123 00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:32,440 Speaker 1: this is all really working and watching the All Star Game, 124 00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:35,000 Speaker 1: which is typically something like paint drying. It was a 125 00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:37,679 Speaker 1: good game. There's some good defensive moments, but the game moved, 126 00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:40,400 Speaker 1: and all I kept thinking about was, man, the pace 127 00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:44,080 Speaker 1: of play is really just changed the feel of the game. 128 00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:46,359 Speaker 1: And even if they took it away, I felt like 129 00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:48,040 Speaker 1: these guys would still be playing at that pace because 130 00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:50,400 Speaker 1: now they're trained now and I think that's yeah. Maybe 131 00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:52,520 Speaker 1: we'll see that at some point, but not anytime soon. 132 00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:54,880 Speaker 1: I don't think so at the very least. But let's 133 00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:57,720 Speaker 1: get to some of the headlines going on here, one 134 00:05:57,760 --> 00:06:00,000 Speaker 1: of which is we have a winner of our Fantasy 135 00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:03,040 Speaker 1: Pros premium.

Let's talk about Aaron Judge, no timetable for 152 00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:50,000 Speaker 1: his return. This is not a good, warm and fuzzy 153 00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:53,360 Speaker 1: feeling for Yankees fans or for fantasy fans, because if 154 00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:57,279 Speaker 1: you have Aaron Judge in your rosters, you're kind of 155 00:06:57,320 --> 00:07:00,600 Speaker 1: sweating right now. So, Boggs, what do you do here 156 00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:02,560 Speaker 1: at this juncture in the season, Because if you have 157 00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:04,640 Speaker 1: Aaron Judge, you haven't had them for a few weeks. 158 00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:08,400 Speaker 1: The value of Aaron Judge in the marketplace is probably 159 00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:11,559 Speaker 1: lower than it should be because of this uncertainty around 160 00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:14,600 Speaker 1: the timetable. So are you just somebody you're just saying, hey, 161 00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:16,520 Speaker 1: I'm stuck. You got a hold? Do you move other 162 00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:18,920 Speaker 1: pieces you have to try to fill that Aaron Judge gap? 163 00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:20,720 Speaker 1: Or do you sell them for fifty cents on the 164 00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:23,240 Speaker 1: dollar and take somebody back that's playing, that has upside, 165 00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:24,640 Speaker 1: that maybe had a bad first half. 166 00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:27,480 Speaker 2: The only way I'm doing the last suggestion where you 167 00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:29,240 Speaker 2: sell them for fifty cents on the dollar is if 168 00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:33,480 Speaker 2: the rest of my team is outstanding and I'm still 169 00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:35,680 Speaker 2: getting I don't know, fifty cents on the dollar is 170 00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:38,880 Speaker 2: still pretty low. I mean, maybe seventy five cents, sixty cents, 171 00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:41,640 Speaker 2: like somewhere in that range on the dollar. I just 172 00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:43,840 Speaker 2: have a hard time selling him off for someone that's 173 00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:46,520 Speaker 2: a tenth round or lower pick, you know what I mean. 174 00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:51,080 Speaker 2: So I think because of investment, you're probably pot committed 175 00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:53,600 Speaker 2: to Aaron Judge and just waiting because you're not going 176 00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:57,040 Speaker 2: to get anywhere close. But I mean you're also like, 177 00:07:57,440 --> 00:07:59,600 Speaker 2: this is not a player that's replaceable, that's not a 178 00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:02,880 Speaker 2: replace level players, So you know, you do your best 179 00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:05,400 Speaker 2: feeling in on the wire, maybe make a trade, maybe 180 00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:08,400 Speaker 2: trade from a strength to get some more power, because 181 00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:11,720 Speaker 2: that's what Judge was providing you obviously. So but yeah, 182 00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:14,160 Speaker 2: I mean, it's never good when one of the first 183 00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:18,200 Speaker 2: round pick goes out, and that's what's happening now, and 184 00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:20,520 Speaker 2: you just kind of have to live with it. 185 00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:22,440 Speaker 1: It's a tough spot for those people who have Fantasy 186 00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:25,040 Speaker 1: playoffs coming because if you know, if you want to 187 00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:28,360 Speaker 1: wait till September for Judge, that's fine in those leagues 188 00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:30,800 Speaker 1: where it's you know, got to make it first, you 189 00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:32,320 Speaker 1: got to make the playoffs. But in those you know, 190 00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:34,160 Speaker 1: season long rodal leagues, you want to wait, maybe have 191 00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:37,040 Speaker 1: a monstrous last six weeks of the season, that's fine. 192 00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:39,559 Speaker 1: From Aaron Judge. But if you're fighting for your life 193 00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:42,440 Speaker 1: right now to get in the fantasy playoffs, I think 194 00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:44,120 Speaker 1: you got to figure out what that Judge value is. 195 00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:45,960 Speaker 1: Lucky for all of you, we have a trade chart 196 00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:48,040 Speaker 1: at Fantasy Pros. You can go there and see what 197 00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:50,040 Speaker 1: the trade value is of Aaron Judge right now and 198 00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:52,640 Speaker 1: go check that out. Maybe we'll throw out some fictitious 199 00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:57,000 Speaker 1: trades on Monday show. Also, it's open season on Oo 200 00:08:57,320 --> 00:09:00,880 Speaker 1: Sho Halo Tani or Joe hay Oh. That's oh my god, 201 00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:03,520 Speaker 1: how did I miss this all this time? Or I 202 00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:06,760 Speaker 1: could have been calling myself Joe Heyotani. I don't know, 203 00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:09,080 Speaker 1: but that's a shirt that needs to be made. But anyway, 204 00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:13,840 Speaker 1: Joe Haotani's available. Joe Hayotani also available for kids parties 205 00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:17,760 Speaker 1: and other things. Apparently the Dodgers, which we all thought 206 00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:20,600 Speaker 1: would be in on this mix. The Yankees apparently kicking 207 00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:23,640 Speaker 1: the tires too, especially with this Judge injury. Yeah, Yankees 208 00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:27,760 Speaker 1: are kind of in a bad spot and a starter. Yeah, 209 00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:30,840 Speaker 1: you can use every who couldn't use both, let alone 210 00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:33,439 Speaker 1: one guy and Cashman has gotten a lot of heat 211 00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:36,320 Speaker 1: lately because, let's be honest, the Yankees haven't gotten to 212 00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:41,959 Speaker 1: that top level in quite some time, So let's talk 213 00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:44,120 Speaker 1: about it. Jason di Mingez, I imagine will be the 214 00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:45,920 Speaker 1: framework starter of that deal. 215 00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:46,280 Speaker 3: Right. 216 00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:49,520 Speaker 1: Do you think that Otani to the Yankees is a 217 00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:51,640 Speaker 1: deal that could get done? Yeah? I do. 218 00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:55,440 Speaker 2: I think the Yankees have enough in their system to 219 00:09:55,520 --> 00:09:56,280 Speaker 2: make it happen. 220 00:09:56,320 --> 00:09:58,920 Speaker 3: And that's I mean the Angels. You know, it's kind 221 00:09:58,920 --> 00:09:59,240 Speaker 3: of funny. 222 00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:03,480 Speaker 2: You heard Jeter and Big Poppy and a Rod talking 223 00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:06,920 Speaker 2: about this before the All Star Game, and they had 224 00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:09,600 Speaker 2: different opinions. I mean, Jeter, who's worked in the front 225 00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:12,160 Speaker 2: office before, said I just don't know how you get 226 00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:12,520 Speaker 2: it done. 227 00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:13,960 Speaker 3: How do you trade a guy like this? 228 00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:16,600 Speaker 2: You know, because what does that say to your fan 229 00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:18,880 Speaker 2: base when you trade show Hey Otani? 230 00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:19,920 Speaker 3: Why would they come back? 231 00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:20,160 Speaker 1: Right? 232 00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:23,240 Speaker 2: That's a big part of it. And then it's like, well, 233 00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:25,520 Speaker 2: what does a deal look like too? We've never seen 234 00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:28,520 Speaker 2: the framework around a guy like Otani because there is 235 00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:31,240 Speaker 2: no guy like Otani. So I think it's going to 236 00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:33,360 Speaker 2: be if he does get moved, it's going to be 237 00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:36,960 Speaker 2: an absolute blockbuster. And I would expect the Yankees or 238 00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:40,440 Speaker 2: Dodgers to be the team in it. And I would 239 00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:43,960 Speaker 2: expect it to be so many more pieces than we think, 240 00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:47,800 Speaker 2: even for rental, because most likely whoever trades for him 241 00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:51,800 Speaker 2: will get him to sign an extension, especially if he 242 00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:54,680 Speaker 2: likes it there, so you're more likely to if you 243 00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:56,680 Speaker 2: trade for him. But also if you're the Angels, you 244 00:10:56,720 --> 00:10:59,560 Speaker 2: know there's no way he's coming back. He's not going 245 00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:01,120 Speaker 2: to go with for six months and then come back 246 00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:05,439 Speaker 2: to the Angels, so you are disappointing in your fan base, 247 00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:08,679 Speaker 2: and that return has to be very impressive, even for 248 00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:11,439 Speaker 2: rental players, So it's kind of a double edged sword. 249 00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:14,439 Speaker 2: I still like, I don't see how the math maths 250 00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:17,760 Speaker 2: for him to get trade like, because if I'm if 251 00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:20,600 Speaker 2: I'm the Angels, I'm just like, I'm not trading him. 252 00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:22,280 Speaker 1: I'll tell you how the math I'm gonna risk the 253 00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:23,960 Speaker 1: same thing I told you to. Well, I'm gonna risk it 254 00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:27,520 Speaker 1: you you unload a portion of the Anthony Rendome contract 255 00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:30,600 Speaker 1: on somebody. That's how you make the math math because 256 00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:32,240 Speaker 1: at the end of the day, that one hundred and 257 00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:34,559 Speaker 1: fifteen million dollars over the next three years, you got 258 00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:38,080 Speaker 1: to pay that JABBRONI that's the problem. That's how that 259 00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:39,360 Speaker 1: it's not even I mean. 260 00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:41,760 Speaker 2: Artie Moraine is really struggling to pay him right, he 261 00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:43,200 Speaker 2: can't make his payments, and. 262 00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:45,800 Speaker 1: You know it's here's the thing, It's like, how many 263 00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:48,480 Speaker 1: bad contracts can you eat over the years, you know, 264 00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:51,080 Speaker 1: I mean they've eaten a lot of bad contracts going 265 00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:53,720 Speaker 1: back to Vernon Wells and Josh Hamilton, and you know, 266 00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:55,559 Speaker 1: the end of the Pools deal was not good for them, 267 00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:58,280 Speaker 1: and they always get in the same situation. Now, I 268 00:11:58,280 --> 00:11:59,960 Speaker 1: think the Yankees are actually more of a long shot, 269 00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:01,520 Speaker 1: tell you the truth. I think it's a harder sell. 270 00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:03,880 Speaker 1: I think the Dodgers are the easy sell because it 271 00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:06,040 Speaker 1: doesn't uproot him at all. He's in a spot where 272 00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:10,160 Speaker 1: he could just stay in Southern California, just hop over, 273 00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:13,280 Speaker 1: go play for the Dodgers, and then he's gonna hit 274 00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:15,400 Speaker 1: free agency because I don't think there's any way that 275 00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:17,839 Speaker 1: you can't imagine him going out to free agency. That's 276 00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:21,120 Speaker 1: what I'm looking for when it comes to show hail Tony. Also, 277 00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:26,240 Speaker 1: John P. Morosi has saying that the Dodgers are interested 278 00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:29,480 Speaker 1: in White Sox right hander Lucas Gioledo. Now, because Morosi 279 00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:32,600 Speaker 1: said it, I guarantee you it's untrue. Typically he just 280 00:12:32,640 --> 00:12:34,800 Speaker 1: goes ahead and makes up things. I know this for 281 00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:37,760 Speaker 1: a fact from a few friends of mine in the 282 00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:40,520 Speaker 1: inside of business, that they literally need him to create 283 00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:42,520 Speaker 1: a certain amount of content every day. So he literally 284 00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:44,640 Speaker 1: will just go up and say this makes sense for 285 00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:47,599 Speaker 1: this team, and I'm gonna put this. So there's no 286 00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:49,439 Speaker 1: way that's happening. But that being said, do you have 287 00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:51,640 Speaker 1: a landing spot in mind for Lucas Giolito or any 288 00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:54,160 Speaker 1: other White Sox pictures because the White Sox got to 289 00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:55,400 Speaker 1: start jetising some of these guys. 290 00:12:55,600 --> 00:12:59,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, Look, we don't have good rumors. I'll say that. 291 00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:02,320 Speaker 2: I don't know that I'll call anyone's job out right here. Uh, 292 00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:05,640 Speaker 2: but but yeah, look, uh you like like that one, 293 00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:10,000 Speaker 2: uh Joe's math they I mean, you know that's the math. 294 00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:11,400 Speaker 3: Mathin right right. 295 00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:15,760 Speaker 2: Look, we don't have good There's so many teams that 296 00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:18,120 Speaker 2: need starting pitching right now. So I don't think you 297 00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:20,840 Speaker 2: could just say the Dodgers or the Yankees or whatever. 298 00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:24,640 Speaker 2: The d Backs need starting pitching right the Reds. Yeah, 299 00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:28,440 Speaker 2: I mean, so many teams that are Playoff eligible needs 300 00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:31,880 Speaker 2: starting pitching. So you know it's gonna be a bidding 301 00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:34,720 Speaker 2: war for these starters and they're gonna get traded for 302 00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:37,839 Speaker 2: too much, which is why for the last month I've 303 00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:40,000 Speaker 2: been trying to get it in Welsh's head that the 304 00:13:40,040 --> 00:13:42,960 Speaker 2: Diamondbacks are probably gonna trade Jordan Lawler for someone that 305 00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:46,640 Speaker 2: is not of Jordan Lawler's ceiling. And he doesn't want 306 00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:50,840 Speaker 2: to hear it. But Perdomo just made the All Star team. Uh, 307 00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:53,880 Speaker 2: they just drafted a shortstop out of Stanford in the 308 00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:55,360 Speaker 2: first round of the draft. 309 00:13:55,360 --> 00:13:55,960 Speaker 3: You know what I mean? 310 00:13:56,040 --> 00:13:59,520 Speaker 2: So like nor is the piece to move for a 311 00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:02,719 Speaker 2: big pitch. Sure, So in fantasy when it. 312 00:14:02,640 --> 00:14:04,000 Speaker 1: Comes to some of these names, let's say you have 313 00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:07,760 Speaker 1: them on your roster, like c sir Gilido or you know, 314 00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:09,760 Speaker 1: Marcus Stroman or some of these guys that have pitched 315 00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:12,720 Speaker 1: relatively well on bad teams this year who might get traded. 316 00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:17,199 Speaker 1: They tend to have a lot, maybe an inflated value 317 00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:20,280 Speaker 1: on the trade market. Are you somebody that wants to 318 00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:23,360 Speaker 1: kind of cash in on that slightly inflated market value 319 00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:25,560 Speaker 1: of those kind of pictures at this juncture the season 320 00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:27,800 Speaker 1: before they get traded, because you know, you when a 321 00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:29,120 Speaker 1: guy goes to a different spot, you never know how 322 00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:31,520 Speaker 1: it's gonna work out. Sometimes those situations are really good. 323 00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:33,640 Speaker 1: You know, you get the c C. Sabathias of the 324 00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:35,360 Speaker 1: world when he goes and he puts the Brewers on 325 00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:38,240 Speaker 1: his back and it becomes an MVP candidate. And then 326 00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:39,920 Speaker 1: you've got some other situations where you trade for a 327 00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:42,480 Speaker 1: guy and he's a complete bust and ends up really 328 00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:45,080 Speaker 1: not helping a team. So are you somebody that just 329 00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:47,080 Speaker 1: holds the line on these guys or do you kick 330 00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:50,360 Speaker 1: the tires on some trade potentially where maybe their values 331 00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:51,360 Speaker 1: is a little higher than should be. 332 00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:54,000 Speaker 2: I like to test the waters, of course, to see 333 00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:57,520 Speaker 2: if someone will give you an overpay. But in general, 334 00:14:57,840 --> 00:14:59,880 Speaker 2: if a pitcher is pitching well and he's going to 335 00:14:59,880 --> 00:15:02,160 Speaker 2: a better team, I want to hold onto that picture. 336 00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:05,520 Speaker 2: So if he is getting moved, if he is getting 337 00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:07,200 Speaker 2: flipped to a different team, like you said, yes, you 338 00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:11,160 Speaker 2: can pick up struggles, new catcher, new staff, new defense 339 00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:15,440 Speaker 2: behind you, different ballpark, different batters, like it's all different. 340 00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:20,160 Speaker 2: But if if that guy is having a good year, 341 00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:24,840 Speaker 2: I'm more gonna trust in whatever he's doing it is correct, 342 00:15:24,960 --> 00:15:27,800 Speaker 2: and I'm going to lean on him keeping that momentum 343 00:15:27,840 --> 00:15:31,040 Speaker 2: when he moves and still playing well. So I think 344 00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:32,800 Speaker 2: for the most part, I want to keep those guys, 345 00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:36,760 Speaker 2: but I'll always listen, always listen for and overpay, and 346 00:15:36,880 --> 00:15:38,920 Speaker 2: don't burn any bridges. Don't be the guy that like, 347 00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:40,960 Speaker 2: when someone offers you a bad trade, you go over 348 00:15:40,960 --> 00:15:43,200 Speaker 2: the top and offer them a worse trade. Don't do that. 349 00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:46,160 Speaker 2: Just be like, hey man, we're not even close. Hey lady, 350 00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:48,840 Speaker 2: this is not working. So you whatever, This. 351 00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:50,400 Speaker 1: Is not work. That's why I said right before my 352 00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:54,160 Speaker 1: diver divorce, I said the same. Oh that right, Yeah, 353 00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:57,000 Speaker 1: that's exactly what I said. Yeah, that's exactly the verbiage. 354 00:15:57,600 --> 00:16:00,800 Speaker 1: Oh good time. Let's continue on here with a rookie lookie. 355 00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:02,640 Speaker 1: Because the A's are trying to pretend like they care. 356 00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:05,560 Speaker 1: This is fun, so they're calling up some prospects. Tyler 357 00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:09,840 Speaker 1: Suderstrom is getting the call today. He did appear in 358 00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:12,320 Speaker 1: the Futures Game, so Bodwin may or may not remember that. 359 00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:14,680 Speaker 1: I know it was all a blur. Twenty one year 360 00:16:14,680 --> 00:16:15,680 Speaker 1: old catchers. 361 00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:16,680 Speaker 3: Seven innings the Futures Game. 362 00:16:17,320 --> 00:16:19,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, well yeah, I think it's always that they don't 363 00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:22,120 Speaker 1: play nine, right, It's always the used. 364 00:16:21,920 --> 00:16:24,560 Speaker 3: To, but they switched to seven. It might have something 365 00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:25,040 Speaker 3: to do with beers. 366 00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:26,920 Speaker 1: When the first started, it was definitely nine, but I 367 00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:28,760 Speaker 1: think it's been seven for a little while. Now. I 368 00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:31,840 Speaker 1: can't Welsh would know that's a Welsh thing. No, I asked, Well, 369 00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:34,800 Speaker 1: he didn't remember either, so really it's been a while. 370 00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:37,760 Speaker 3: I mean it happens once a year. Nobody remembers. We'll 371 00:16:37,840 --> 00:16:41,000 Speaker 3: forget by next year. Oh so, so he's. 372 00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:44,760 Speaker 1: A catcher with twenty home runs, not any speed there 373 00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:46,840 Speaker 1: so the powers for real, it's hitting two fifty four. 374 00:16:46,920 --> 00:16:49,080 Speaker 1: I don't know if he's ready necessarily coming from Triple 375 00:16:49,080 --> 00:16:51,320 Speaker 1: A Las Vegas. The power numbers could be inflated because 376 00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:53,840 Speaker 1: it's you know, Las Vegas, and you never know what 377 00:16:53,960 --> 00:16:56,160 Speaker 1: PCL numbers. And then they are also calling up Zach 378 00:16:56,240 --> 00:16:59,160 Speaker 1: Geloff as well, who is hitting three zero four with 379 00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:02,080 Speaker 1: a four oh one OBP much higher. OBP was one 380 00:17:02,120 --> 00:17:06,000 Speaker 1: hundred points higher than Soderstrum. He's at in five twenty 381 00:17:06,080 --> 00:17:09,640 Speaker 1: nine slugging, got twelve homers twenty steals, so he could 382 00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:12,919 Speaker 1: potentially help you out as well. Now to me, you know, 383 00:17:13,080 --> 00:17:15,600 Speaker 1: I'm looking at these guys and Gelloff is the one 384 00:17:15,600 --> 00:17:17,680 Speaker 1: that I would much rather be throwing fab on this week. 385 00:17:17,680 --> 00:17:20,840 Speaker 1: What are your thoughts on these two a's prospects. 386 00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:22,320 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean Gelloff. 387 00:17:22,359 --> 00:17:26,560 Speaker 2: Probably maybe in a two catcher league you're looking Solderstrum. 388 00:17:26,760 --> 00:17:30,480 Speaker 3: But I think for the most part, it's it's Gelloff. 389 00:17:30,840 --> 00:17:35,800 Speaker 2: And look, I mean, the the a's are so bad, 390 00:17:36,119 --> 00:17:38,160 Speaker 2: you know, to do these moves really matter? 391 00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:40,600 Speaker 1: This is uh, you know, it's very patronizing. I think 392 00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:42,080 Speaker 1: to the fan base and be like, oh, now we're 393 00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:45,359 Speaker 1: gonna call these kids up or whatever. But I guess 394 00:17:45,359 --> 00:17:48,199 Speaker 1: here's my point is like, what do you serve at 395 00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:50,119 Speaker 1: this point from doing that. It's not like all of 396 00:17:50,119 --> 00:17:52,320 Speaker 1: a sudden you're gonna put your ends in the ballpark. 397 00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:56,000 Speaker 1: Are these kids really ready? Maybe it feels like Gelloff 398 00:17:56,040 --> 00:17:58,520 Speaker 1: is more ready than Soderstrum. But the only thing that 399 00:17:58,520 --> 00:18:00,240 Speaker 1: I can think of from Soderstrum is you want to 400 00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:02,639 Speaker 1: get his feet wet at the major league level catching 401 00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:05,080 Speaker 1: some games. But I'm also concerned then you know, how 402 00:18:05,119 --> 00:18:07,159 Speaker 1: often is he playing? Are you? You know, is he 403 00:18:07,280 --> 00:18:09,280 Speaker 1: gets up to speed? You got to get those. 404 00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:11,800 Speaker 3: Guys experience before they moved in the new ballpark in Vegas. 405 00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:13,880 Speaker 1: I moved to Vegas. Yeah, it's gonna like these guys 406 00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:15,440 Speaker 1: go just stayed in Vegas. Now they got to go 407 00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:18,280 Speaker 1: all the way to Oakland instead, they could have just 408 00:18:18,280 --> 00:18:19,680 Speaker 1: stayed right where they are in six months. 409 00:18:19,800 --> 00:18:20,680 Speaker 3: Yeah, just television. 410 00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:24,200 Speaker 2: It's not that big a drive from Oakland to Vegas, right, 411 00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:26,399 Speaker 2: what is the drive from Oakland to Vegas? 412 00:18:26,440 --> 00:18:31,520 Speaker 3: It's not a salary. Yeah, so I don't know it 413 00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:32,520 Speaker 3: is I mean the West coast. 414 00:18:32,520 --> 00:18:35,959 Speaker 1: It's northern California. Yeah, I imagine I'll look, I'll google 415 00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:37,359 Speaker 1: it while you continue to work. 416 00:18:37,560 --> 00:18:40,320 Speaker 2: But but I mean look with the with the A's, 417 00:18:40,440 --> 00:18:43,080 Speaker 2: I mean it's all condescending. It's like every move they 418 00:18:43,080 --> 00:18:46,120 Speaker 2: do is insulting to the fan base. I had an 419 00:18:46,119 --> 00:18:49,000 Speaker 2: A's fan send me a cell shirt, so I wore 420 00:18:49,040 --> 00:18:51,000 Speaker 2: it to the home run derby. I got a lot 421 00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:54,840 Speaker 2: of compliments on it and everything as well. But yeah, 422 00:18:54,880 --> 00:18:57,640 Speaker 2: in terms of fantasy, it's Geloff, probably ahead of Soda 423 00:18:57,640 --> 00:18:59,480 Speaker 2: STRM unless you're in a two catcher league and you 424 00:18:59,560 --> 00:19:04,080 Speaker 2: have just avoid at that second catcher spot. Maybe try 425 00:19:04,080 --> 00:19:07,280 Speaker 2: Soders some just to see. But yeah, I also am 426 00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:09,240 Speaker 2: with you, Joe. I do not understand what the A 427 00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:11,600 Speaker 2: strategy is by bringing these guys up at this point. 428 00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:14,239 Speaker 2: It maybe you're just rewarding these players because they've been 429 00:19:14,240 --> 00:19:14,840 Speaker 2: playing well. 430 00:19:15,280 --> 00:19:16,080 Speaker 3: Uh you know. 431 00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:19,360 Speaker 2: But you're also throwing a single a team out there 432 00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:22,840 Speaker 2: every day, so maybe you know these are these are 433 00:19:22,880 --> 00:19:25,440 Speaker 2: good moves. Anytime they bring up anybody, it's a good 434 00:19:25,480 --> 00:19:26,040 Speaker 2: move for them. 435 00:19:26,359 --> 00:19:28,439 Speaker 3: But it's also like, what. 436 00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:30,040 Speaker 1: Is the point get off from the stall and base 437 00:19:30,040 --> 00:19:32,680 Speaker 1: standpoints also intriguing. By the way, I nailed it eight hours, 438 00:19:32,720 --> 00:19:34,360 Speaker 1: thirty seven minute, eight hours. 439 00:19:34,440 --> 00:19:34,840 Speaker 3: Wow. 440 00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:37,720 Speaker 1: You know where Vegas is pretty far down there. You know, 441 00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:38,679 Speaker 1: the same amount of. 442 00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:41,200 Speaker 2: Time it takes to get out of Chevez Ravine after 443 00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:44,040 Speaker 2: a Dodgers game, so you know, might as well drive 444 00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:44,800 Speaker 2: to Vegas. 445 00:19:44,880 --> 00:19:48,879 Speaker 1: So A nailed it. By the way, in case you 446 00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:51,440 Speaker 1: missed it. Early in the week, Podcasts Only the Welsh 447 00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:55,119 Speaker 1: and I did a little recap of the MLB drafts, 448 00:19:55,160 --> 00:19:56,800 Speaker 1: So if you're playing in dynasty leagues or even if 449 00:19:56,800 --> 00:20:00,679 Speaker 1: you're not, some really good information on of those players 450 00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:05,919 Speaker 1: against audio onlymans here and you want the prospect takes it. 451 00:20:06,760 --> 00:20:09,080 Speaker 1: I just want to remind everybody because everybody knew we were 452 00:20:09,040 --> 00:20:10,679 Speaker 1: off for a couple of days, and some people I 453 00:20:10,720 --> 00:20:13,320 Speaker 1: know just watch us on YouTube or listen on YouTube. 454 00:20:13,720 --> 00:20:15,439 Speaker 1: You have to go to the podcast fees, so go 455 00:20:15,520 --> 00:20:17,920 Speaker 1: subscribe there and go get that show. It's sure it's 456 00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:21,600 Speaker 1: like fifteen minutes long. We went through that injuries to 457 00:20:21,640 --> 00:20:23,960 Speaker 1: talk about Yondi Diaz on the paternity list, so hits 458 00:20:23,960 --> 00:20:25,280 Speaker 1: a home run on the All Star Game and then 459 00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:27,440 Speaker 1: he says I'll be back in a few days. Max 460 00:20:27,480 --> 00:20:30,080 Speaker 1: Freed will make a second rehab starts Saturday. All eyes 461 00:20:30,119 --> 00:20:32,960 Speaker 1: will be on that, and then it's possibly good news 462 00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:36,400 Speaker 1: for the Astros. Aforementioned to getting booed by everyone in Seattle. 463 00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:39,560 Speaker 1: Altuve with the oblique begins a rehab assignment that's good 464 00:20:39,600 --> 00:20:42,239 Speaker 1: on the weekend, and Jordan Alvarez will begin a minor 465 00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:45,200 Speaker 1: league rehab assignment also at Triple A sugar Land, both 466 00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:47,719 Speaker 1: of them, so that is good news, things moving in 467 00:20:47,720 --> 00:20:50,359 Speaker 1: the right direction for both of them. Cason brings up 468 00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:51,600 Speaker 1: a really good point. I'm going to get to that 469 00:20:51,600 --> 00:20:54,640 Speaker 1: when we talk about betting. Before we get all that, first, 470 00:20:54,640 --> 00:20:56,359 Speaker 1: we got to talk about something else, which, of course, 471 00:20:56,480 --> 00:20:58,560 Speaker 1: is that time of the show when we make prize Picks. 472 00:20:58,640 --> 00:21:01,080 Speaker 1: So if you haven't already download the app, go to 473 00:21:01,119 --> 00:21:04,400 Speaker 1: prizepicks dot com and use that promo code leading off 474 00:21:04,440 --> 00:21:06,440 Speaker 1: again one word leading off.

That's 481 00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:27,400 Speaker 1: right around the corner also. But for me today, Tyler Glass, now, 482 00:21:27,840 --> 00:21:29,760 Speaker 1: I know eight is a big number, but Kansas City 483 00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:32,320 Speaker 1: is the team that keeps on giving strikeouts, so I 484 00:21:32,320 --> 00:21:34,359 Speaker 1: think you can get over. I'm thinking double digits for 485 00:21:34,440 --> 00:21:38,080 Speaker 1: mister Glass now today, Carlos Rodin making his triumphant return, 486 00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:43,639 Speaker 1: six is the number for him against Colorado. I know 487 00:21:43,760 --> 00:21:46,160 Speaker 1: Colorado's bad, but I just don't know how long Rodnna's 488 00:21:46,160 --> 00:21:47,600 Speaker 1: in for this game. So I'm gonna go under on 489 00:21:47,640 --> 00:21:50,240 Speaker 1: that one. And wander Franco in that same game with 490 00:21:50,320 --> 00:21:54,240 Speaker 1: Casey eight hitter fantasy points, I'm gonna go over that. Bogs. 491 00:21:54,280 --> 00:21:56,320 Speaker 1: You have any prize picks for the people today? 492 00:21:56,440 --> 00:21:58,240 Speaker 2: First of you see how disorganized they were at the 493 00:21:58,240 --> 00:22:00,960 Speaker 2: All Star Game. They didn't even introduce the raised players 494 00:22:01,040 --> 00:22:03,720 Speaker 2: on the red carpet thing. They just left McClanahan and 495 00:22:03,760 --> 00:22:04,560 Speaker 2: Franco out. 496 00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:09,399 Speaker 1: No, I didn't even notice that. Just want to be 497 00:22:09,400 --> 00:22:11,600 Speaker 1: crappier than that. Was the uniforms. And I know I 498 00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:13,879 Speaker 1: sound like an old man. I hate it, I hate it, 499 00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:14,920 Speaker 1: but they were terrible. 500 00:22:15,920 --> 00:22:18,520 Speaker 2: They had the fields because the umpires in the National 501 00:22:18,560 --> 00:22:19,840 Speaker 2: League had the same uniform. 502 00:22:20,560 --> 00:22:24,400 Speaker 1: It looked terrible. It's they looked cheap on television. I'm 503 00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:26,359 Speaker 1: telling you. On TV, they look cheap. They look like 504 00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:27,840 Speaker 1: what you would get when you play I don't know, 505 00:22:27,920 --> 00:22:30,480 Speaker 1: all stars at you know, the Little League or something, 506 00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:32,719 Speaker 1: or travel ball. I mean I had uniforms that look 507 00:22:32,760 --> 00:22:35,320 Speaker 1: better than that at times when I was playing travel ball. Unbelievable, 508 00:22:35,320 --> 00:22:38,159 Speaker 1: I could. I like when they wear the uniforms of 509 00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:40,240 Speaker 1: their team and that you're representing your team. 510 00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:43,159 Speaker 2: I think that's part of the thing, don't you. I 511 00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:44,720 Speaker 2: could not agree anymore. 512 00:22:44,840 --> 00:22:47,080 Speaker 1: I can't believe it. Usually you yell at me for 513 00:22:47,160 --> 00:22:50,400 Speaker 1: being the old man yelling at the sky. And finally 514 00:22:50,440 --> 00:22:52,320 Speaker 1: I've gotten you there, so no, I'm already. 515 00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:54,360 Speaker 3: I mean, I'm over forty I'm there with you now, 516 00:22:54,520 --> 00:22:54,720 Speaker 3: you know. 517 00:22:55,119 --> 00:22:57,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, but you're you're you're like Peter Pan, like I 518 00:22:58,000 --> 00:22:59,679 Speaker 1: said before the show, Yeah, what is it? 519 00:22:59,720 --> 00:23:02,720 Speaker 2: You? And Wells said when when you were talking about me, 520 00:23:02,760 --> 00:23:04,120 Speaker 2: tell me you're single without kids. 521 00:23:04,160 --> 00:23:06,800 Speaker 3: Without telling me you're single without kids, you could just. 522 00:23:09,840 --> 00:23:13,240 Speaker 1: Bogman is in Seattle all weekend for every event, not 523 00:23:13,440 --> 00:23:14,360 Speaker 1: just for one thing. 524 00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:17,359 Speaker 2: I'm gonna die alone, but I'm gonna sleep in every 525 00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:18,920 Speaker 2: day up until I go into the dirt. 526 00:23:19,119 --> 00:23:20,800 Speaker 3: So uh look at that. 527 00:23:21,480 --> 00:23:26,440 Speaker 2: Sleep Well, Well here's my next sitting us back on track, Joe, 528 00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:28,760 Speaker 2: I've got Edward Driguez. 529 00:23:28,440 --> 00:23:31,159 Speaker 1: Over Farmers Market at eight am. You have to wake up. 530 00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:34,680 Speaker 3: No, I've never been What is eight am? Does that really? 531 00:23:34,760 --> 00:23:36,800 Speaker 1: I would wake you up at eight am to the 532 00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:40,000 Speaker 1: farmer's market. I love a good farmers But anyway, thank 533 00:23:40,040 --> 00:23:42,919 Speaker 1: you pass. I'm gonna go over six k's for Edwardrigez 534 00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:45,800 Speaker 1: versus Seattle. He has the second highest k percentage in 535 00:23:45,840 --> 00:23:48,600 Speaker 1: the league, twenty five point seven percent right now, and 536 00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:50,760 Speaker 1: EDWARDO looked good. I think he had six k's and 537 00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:52,600 Speaker 1: like four and a third in his return off of 538 00:23:52,640 --> 00:23:54,320 Speaker 1: the i L last week. 539 00:23:54,560 --> 00:23:57,120 Speaker 2: Kyle Schwarber over one and a half hits runs rb 540 00:23:57,200 --> 00:23:59,919 Speaker 2: I c's four for twelve with two bombs against dar 541 00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:02,320 Speaker 2: So if he just gets a hold of one, I 542 00:24:02,320 --> 00:24:04,639 Speaker 2: can I think he can hit that in Trey Turner 543 00:24:04,720 --> 00:24:08,120 Speaker 2: over one and a half total bases. Also against Tarvish, he's 544 00:24:08,119 --> 00:24:11,440 Speaker 2: seven for twenty with two bombs, so hitting well of 545 00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:12,240 Speaker 2: the three hundred there. 546 00:24:12,280 --> 00:24:15,479 Speaker 3: So those are the three that I like for today. 547 00:24:16,320 --> 00:24:21,360 Speaker 1: So let's talk a little betting here because Cason brought 548 00:24:21,400 --> 00:24:23,080 Speaker 1: up a really good point, which is something that I've 549 00:24:23,119 --> 00:24:25,400 Speaker 1: been talking about for I don't know two weeks now, 550 00:24:26,119 --> 00:24:30,639 Speaker 1: which is with Otani potentially getting traded, there's value getting 551 00:24:30,640 --> 00:24:35,600 Speaker 1: reinserted now into this American League MVP conversation. Corey Seeger 552 00:24:35,680 --> 00:24:37,560 Speaker 1: is at the top of the board after Otani a 553 00:24:37,560 --> 00:24:40,639 Speaker 1: plus seventeen hundred. I don't think Corey Zieger is winning MVP. 554 00:24:40,760 --> 00:24:41,320 Speaker 3: I just don't. 555 00:24:41,960 --> 00:24:45,399 Speaker 1: Marcus Simeon, Wander Franco or plus thirty five hundred, so 556 00:24:45,520 --> 00:24:47,760 Speaker 1: is Bobashett and Randy rose Arena. You know what that 557 00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:51,879 Speaker 1: tells you, nobody has an idea. If it's the book 558 00:24:51,960 --> 00:24:56,720 Speaker 1: is completely lost. So that being said, I want to 559 00:24:56,760 --> 00:24:58,600 Speaker 1: talk about this a little bit because I think there 560 00:24:58,600 --> 00:25:01,440 Speaker 1: are some interesting names that might potentially start to get 561 00:25:01,440 --> 00:25:04,280 Speaker 1: into this conversation in the second half. Now, if Aaron 562 00:25:04,320 --> 00:25:06,920 Speaker 1: Judge comes back sooner than later and there's this triumphant 563 00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:10,520 Speaker 1: return with a bad toe and he's a warrior. Believe me, 564 00:25:10,520 --> 00:25:12,679 Speaker 1: that narrative is gonna kick it into high gear. He 565 00:25:12,800 --> 00:25:18,440 Speaker 1: is at plus twenty thousand right now further award, So 566 00:25:18,840 --> 00:25:21,280 Speaker 1: just putting that out there. If you love Aaron Jodge 567 00:25:21,440 --> 00:25:25,320 Speaker 1: that narrative, there's a narrative. Adley Rutchman at eighty five 568 00:25:25,400 --> 00:25:28,440 Speaker 1: hundred is interesting because the Orioles just haven't gone away. 569 00:25:29,160 --> 00:25:31,000 Speaker 1: He's a very likable figure. Boy. 570 00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:33,040 Speaker 2: He had one top switch hitting in the home run 571 00:25:33,040 --> 00:25:34,400 Speaker 2: Derby two by the way they were. 572 00:25:34,480 --> 00:25:35,760 Speaker 3: I like it about that. 573 00:25:35,880 --> 00:25:39,480 Speaker 1: He's an interesting one to watch. Vladdie hasn't played up 574 00:25:39,520 --> 00:25:40,959 Speaker 1: to his ability in the first half. If he has 575 00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:45,159 Speaker 1: a monstrous second half, that narrative could build. Jose Ramirez 576 00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:48,560 Speaker 1: another guy if Cleveland wins, I would pay close attention to. 577 00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:53,359 Speaker 1: He's also plus eight thousand. Lattis plus seven thousand and 578 00:25:53,400 --> 00:25:55,399 Speaker 1: then see the problem with the guys on the Rays 579 00:25:55,520 --> 00:25:57,760 Speaker 1: is like a Rosarin in Wander Franco cancel each other 580 00:25:57,760 --> 00:25:59,440 Speaker 1: out a little bit. Same thing with the Texas guys 581 00:25:59,640 --> 00:26:02,720 Speaker 1: to a certain except Boba Schett and vlad Jose Ramiers 582 00:26:02,720 --> 00:26:05,400 Speaker 1: and Anatlie Rushman are two guys on their own. Basically bogs, 583 00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:07,720 Speaker 1: but I think are really interesting. Do you have any 584 00:26:08,520 --> 00:26:10,280 Speaker 1: ones that you would want to point out to watch 585 00:26:10,320 --> 00:26:13,919 Speaker 1: where's adults? Did you? Says is a plus two at 586 00:26:13,960 --> 00:26:15,879 Speaker 1: twenty thousand and two with Judge, he's way down in 587 00:26:15,880 --> 00:26:16,520 Speaker 1: the l trop. 588 00:26:16,480 --> 00:26:19,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I think that's the Rangers won't get switcher. 589 00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:21,240 Speaker 1: Him and Seer though, are. 590 00:26:21,160 --> 00:26:24,679 Speaker 2: A little bit a ros Arena and Fronco, you know, 591 00:26:24,920 --> 00:26:28,320 Speaker 2: like the teammates eating into each other. I mean, I 592 00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:30,879 Speaker 2: just don't think Luise Robert is going to stay healthy. 593 00:26:31,560 --> 00:26:34,560 Speaker 2: So that's difficult. One, you gave a number. 594 00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:36,199 Speaker 1: And playing for a nothing team, a team that's not 595 00:26:36,320 --> 00:26:37,119 Speaker 1: going anywhere. 596 00:26:37,440 --> 00:26:40,200 Speaker 2: What about what about Tucker? Tucker's hitting two eighty eight. 597 00:26:40,280 --> 00:26:44,960 Speaker 2: Tucker's at plus eighty five hundred thirteen fifteen swipes. Alvarez 598 00:26:45,040 --> 00:26:46,800 Speaker 2: is going to come back and might sarge that team. 599 00:26:46,840 --> 00:26:49,960 Speaker 1: So that's the thing. Alvarez is plus twenty thousand and two, 600 00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:52,960 Speaker 1: so alare would be up. 601 00:26:52,840 --> 00:26:55,479 Speaker 2: There if Astro surge, like they trade for a pitcher 602 00:26:55,640 --> 00:26:57,800 Speaker 2: or something. When you look at those numbers at the 603 00:26:57,880 --> 00:26:59,840 Speaker 2: end of the year, between all three of those guys, 604 00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:02,240 Speaker 2: Tuckers are going to be the best because he's healthy 605 00:27:02,280 --> 00:27:02,800 Speaker 2: the whole year. 606 00:27:03,040 --> 00:27:07,440 Speaker 1: Probably probably. I think Hose Ramirez is a guy that 607 00:27:07,520 --> 00:27:10,439 Speaker 1: has been underappreciated for the last couple of years, and 608 00:27:10,480 --> 00:27:13,639 Speaker 1: Cleveland has overtaken them for that division, and he has 609 00:27:13,680 --> 00:27:15,680 Speaker 1: got you want to talk about narrative of no help. 610 00:27:16,200 --> 00:27:19,879 Speaker 1: Jose Ramirez is nothing. He has nothing around them. He 611 00:27:19,920 --> 00:27:21,640 Speaker 1: needs to get out of nothing, he. 612 00:27:21,480 --> 00:27:24,679 Speaker 3: Needs and he's not as good as he was. 613 00:27:24,760 --> 00:27:28,880 Speaker 1: But he went back for the hometown. Jose went home 614 00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:31,240 Speaker 1: for the hometown discount. You know, this is what happens sometimes. 615 00:27:31,280 --> 00:27:34,160 Speaker 1: But yeah, even on this market, everybody because it's one 616 00:27:34,200 --> 00:27:34,640 Speaker 1: that's moving. 617 00:27:34,920 --> 00:27:36,920 Speaker 2: He's a good one, but it's all null and void. 618 00:27:36,920 --> 00:27:40,000 Speaker 2: If a show he gets traded to the Yankees, you 619 00:27:40,080 --> 00:27:40,520 Speaker 2: know what I mean. 620 00:27:40,720 --> 00:27:42,639 Speaker 1: So it does, right, But if he gets traded to 621 00:27:42,680 --> 00:27:47,800 Speaker 1: the Dodgers, those numbers get cut by potentially. 622 00:27:48,080 --> 00:27:51,720 Speaker 2: I mean, I might take Otani's numbers to this point 623 00:27:51,960 --> 00:27:54,280 Speaker 2: versus anybody else's for the whole season. 624 00:27:54,480 --> 00:27:57,240 Speaker 1: I mean maybe now, maybe, but I don't think the 625 00:27:57,359 --> 00:28:01,960 Speaker 1: voting public, the voting body will that's true. Now they might, 626 00:28:02,440 --> 00:28:04,280 Speaker 1: But here's the other thing too. You could see that 627 00:28:04,280 --> 00:28:06,720 Speaker 1: Otani number still stay for al MVP and all of 628 00:28:06,760 --> 00:28:09,679 Speaker 1: a sudden become plus money. Yeah, that's just if he 629 00:28:09,720 --> 00:28:12,200 Speaker 1: gets traded to the National League and nobody emerges in 630 00:28:12,200 --> 00:28:14,320 Speaker 1: the American League, he could still you could still get 631 00:28:14,359 --> 00:28:19,600 Speaker 1: getting plus money, and I bet it start at two fifty, 632 00:28:19,800 --> 00:28:21,840 Speaker 1: So we'll see how that goes. Him and Julio are 633 00:28:21,840 --> 00:28:25,720 Speaker 1: the only two MVP investments I made previously, but we'll 634 00:28:25,720 --> 00:28:27,639 Speaker 1: see how that goes. Another investment you should make is 635 00:28:27,720 --> 00:28:31,119 Speaker 1: so Rare go and play in our league fancypros dot 636 00:28:31,160 --> 00:28:33,880 Speaker 1: com slash Leading Off League and join the so Rare 637 00:28:34,040 --> 00:28:37,960 Speaker 1: Army over at fanacypros dot com slash collect It's free, 638 00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:40,440 Speaker 1: it's fantasy, it's cards.

I would be 643 00:28:52,160 --> 00:28:55,680 Speaker 1: looking at uh Dean Kramer, John Gray eight point six, 644 00:28:55,720 --> 00:28:58,320 Speaker 1: eight point nine. Those are some nice cheap options potentially 645 00:28:58,400 --> 00:29:01,920 Speaker 1: in tournaments in cash. Tyler Glass now against Kansas City, 646 00:29:01,920 --> 00:29:04,360 Speaker 1: Lock it up, baby, he's had some time to rest 647 00:29:04,360 --> 00:29:07,280 Speaker 1: a little bit. Line up that strikes out a ton, 648 00:29:07,560 --> 00:29:09,920 Speaker 1: So give me that. Give me the stacks of the Yankees, 649 00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:11,920 Speaker 1: the Rays, and the Texas Rangers, and if you want 650 00:29:11,960 --> 00:29:16,600 Speaker 1: another big arm pitcher, Luis Castillo. Potentially also some value 651 00:29:16,640 --> 00:29:19,360 Speaker 1: plays Austin Hayes a two point nine, Henry Davis at 652 00:29:19,360 --> 00:29:21,600 Speaker 1: two point seven, and Owen Miller in the middle of 653 00:29:21,640 --> 00:29:23,880 Speaker 1: that Brewers line up at two point five. I'm going 654 00:29:23,880 --> 00:29:26,040 Speaker 1: with Randy Rosa Rain because I love that Tampa Bay 655 00:29:26,080 --> 00:29:29,680 Speaker 1: line up today for my home run call, Bogman, where 656 00:29:29,720 --> 00:29:30,719 Speaker 1: are you going for your home run call? 657 00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:34,480 Speaker 2: Give me Kyle Schwarber against Starvish. I just I feel 658 00:29:34,480 --> 00:29:35,640 Speaker 2: like he gets into one today. 659 00:29:36,320 --> 00:29:38,000 Speaker 1: There you go. And looking at the home run board, 660 00:29:38,080 --> 00:29:41,080 Speaker 1: JJ Tator still at the top right now. Actually, we 661 00:29:41,160 --> 00:29:43,800 Speaker 1: have to update this after the Derby. I know that 662 00:29:44,560 --> 00:29:47,640 Speaker 1: Wonkee was doing some Derby stuff, so this was pre Derby. 663 00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:50,680 Speaker 1: On Monday, we'll have the updated version for everybody. And 664 00:29:50,720 --> 00:29:54,040 Speaker 1: again I picked Tulio. I don't get forty or forty one. 665 00:29:54,120 --> 00:29:56,400 Speaker 1: I don't know you should. You should get forty one. 666 00:29:56,560 --> 00:29:58,520 Speaker 1: That would be super fun. If everyone picked somebody and 667 00:29:58,560 --> 00:30:01,160 Speaker 1: that was just your numbers that went up, that'd be 668 00:30:01,160 --> 00:30:02,880 Speaker 1: a good time for sure. So I want to thank 669 00:30:02,960 --> 00:30:05,480 Speaker 1: Scott Boglin for hanging out with us today, dealing into 670 00:30:05,520 --> 00:30:09,400 Speaker 1: the Welsh. We'll be back again on Monday with the Welsh, 671 00:30:09,440 --> 00:30:11,400 Speaker 1: and we'll be back going five days a week, so 672 00:30:11,440 --> 00:30:14,280 Speaker 1: we're right back at it. Everybody, Baseball's not leaving you, 673 00:30:14,320 --> 00:30:16,800 Speaker 1: don't worry, not like some of those other places that 674 00:30:16,880 --> 00:30:19,760 Speaker 1: just disappear on you.
