1
00:00:05,760 --> 00:00:08,560
Speaker 1: Welshman. Everybody to Fantasy Bros MLB, it's time to look

2
00:00:08,600 --> 00:00:10,200
Speaker 1: at to the waiver wire for the week with me,

3
00:00:10,360 --> 00:00:12,680
Speaker 1: Joey p Joe Phizipia. Of course with me is the

4
00:00:12,680 --> 00:00:14,880
Speaker 1: Welsh And let's start here with the guy getting the

5
00:00:14,880 --> 00:00:18,520
Speaker 1: call again from Triple A. Chandler Simpson did nothing wrong

6
00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:20,720
Speaker 1: the first time. I don't know what the problem the

7
00:00:20,800 --> 00:00:22,680
Speaker 1: Rays have, maybe they're just being cheap, but you know what,

8
00:00:22,840 --> 00:00:25,360
Speaker 1: the Rays are in it now and Chandler Simpson is

9
00:00:25,480 --> 00:00:28,080
Speaker 1: back and he has been stealing bases, doing everything he

10
00:00:28,120 --> 00:00:31,880
Speaker 1: possibly can for the Rays at Triple A, and now

11
00:00:31,920 --> 00:00:36,280
Speaker 1: he's getting another opportunity. He was optioned to Durham in

12
00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:38,600
Speaker 1: late May after he was posting a two to eighty

13
00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:41,839
Speaker 1: five batting average, no homers, of course, but nineteen steals,

14
00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:45,040
Speaker 1: seventeen runs and thirty five games. And now it's an

15
00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:48,760
Speaker 1: opportunity for him to rebound again, come back here and

16
00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:51,519
Speaker 1: you know, hopefully continue to give us more stolen bases

17
00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:53,960
Speaker 1: because Welsh when you look at where he's at currently,

18
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:56,520
Speaker 1: he is still available in fifty percent of CBS leagues.

19
00:00:56,520 --> 00:00:58,600
Speaker 1: A lot of teams had no choice but to drop him.

20
00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:01,000
Speaker 1: But if you're looking for help and steal. It's time

21
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:02,480
Speaker 1: to be aggressive for Chandler Simpson.

22
00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:05,560
Speaker 2: If he's out there, I think, like points leagues, you're

23
00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:08,360
Speaker 2: going to see the devaluation because sure, you know, stolen

24
00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:10,959
Speaker 2: bases don't mean as much. He has no power potential.

25
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:13,920
Speaker 2: He doesn't register on RBIs. The positive is he doesn't

26
00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:16,120
Speaker 2: strike out, he even in that time. And that was

27
00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:18,759
Speaker 2: the weirdest thing about the sendown is there was real

28
00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:22,600
Speaker 2: world baseball, you know, like defensive metrics war versus what

29
00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:24,600
Speaker 2: we got in fantasy. And his fantasy owners were like,

30
00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:28,200
Speaker 2: why are we sending down this guy that's hitting like

31
00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:31,360
Speaker 2: almost two eighty and stealing all the bases and getting hits.

32
00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:33,240
Speaker 2: Like why It's like, well, because he's not doing a

33
00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:36,319
Speaker 2: whole lot else, but for fantasy, he is covering some

34
00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:37,800
Speaker 2: of those markers and if he hits at the top

35
00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:40,240
Speaker 2: of the lineup, I love it. The low k percentage

36
00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:43,319
Speaker 2: is phenomenal tons of hits. He's a ground ball hitter

37
00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:45,839
Speaker 2: that's just going to get on base and steal a ton.

38
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:49,680
Speaker 2: So you know, maybe there's like caveats to it, but

39
00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:51,920
Speaker 2: in my eyes, like he's just a must pick up,

40
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:54,000
Speaker 2: Like he is a deficit in the home run department.

41
00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:56,920
Speaker 2: But I think he's a no doubt player that you

42
00:01:57,000 --> 00:01:58,680
Speaker 2: want to get on your roster. I would not let

43
00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:01,520
Speaker 2: him be fifty one percent in any format. And I'm

44
00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:03,760
Speaker 2: picking him up across the board because guess what, we

45
00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:06,440
Speaker 2: are still valuing stolen bases in a world where you know,

46
00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:09,600
Speaker 2: Corbyn Carroll when he was on, he wasn't stealing bases. Really,

47
00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:12,600
Speaker 2: Ronald Acuna is not stealing him. We're just not getting

48
00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:14,480
Speaker 2: that same level of some of the guys we expect.

49
00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:16,119
Speaker 2: So I think a lot of us would probably still

50
00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:18,360
Speaker 2: have that need so go pick up Chandler Simpson.

51
00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:20,399
Speaker 1: Head to head road the leagues, especially in a short week.

52
00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:22,040
Speaker 1: This guy can have four by himself.

53
00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:25,239
Speaker 2: Yeah, he can win. It's kind of like Ellie. He's

54
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:26,880
Speaker 2: like Ellie from last year, Like he can win the

55
00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:28,160
Speaker 2: week for you alone. Yeah.

56
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:30,160
Speaker 1: Casey Schmidt the next guy on their list we're gonna

57
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:32,560
Speaker 1: talk about today, just thirteen percent roster. We're really digging

58
00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:34,840
Speaker 1: deeper on these next couple of ones here. He's a

59
00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:37,120
Speaker 1: guy that, depending on your league rules, good Wuialfai almost

60
00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:39,560
Speaker 1: everywhere in the infield. So he's filling in for Matt

61
00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:42,919
Speaker 1: Chapman now and with Tyler Fitzgerald getting sent down. It's

62
00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:45,119
Speaker 1: like Schmidt is actually clearing a path for himself. He's

63
00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:48,120
Speaker 1: you know, it was up last year, had some mixed reviews,

64
00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:49,720
Speaker 1: but so far this year in thirty three games for

65
00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:52,960
Speaker 1: the Giants, four home runs, fifteen RBI, hitting two eighty four.

66
00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:55,800
Speaker 1: To me at this point, well, it's just a matter

67
00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:58,120
Speaker 1: of is he an interesting depth piece, especially if you're

68
00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:01,519
Speaker 1: in any format with daily train actions where Schmid qualifies

69
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:04,280
Speaker 1: so many different spots potentially, To me, that's a very

70
00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:06,760
Speaker 1: useful piece if you're willing to manage it out. So

71
00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:08,960
Speaker 1: I think Schmid is worth of speculation. What do you think?

72
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:13,080
Speaker 2: I love this one. My only hesitation has been like,

73
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:15,239
Speaker 2: how do they make it work when you know in

74
00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:20,560
Speaker 2: Chapman backets Chapman adamis you've got potentially Devors at first,

75
00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:23,000
Speaker 2: you got Wilmer Flores in there. But you know what,

76
00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:26,960
Speaker 2: like because Casey Schmidt I believe, has registered the entire

77
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:30,480
Speaker 2: infield this year, they can just pop them into a spot.

78
00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:31,680
Speaker 2: I don't know if to be full.

79
00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:33,680
Speaker 1: Time off that Devor's just DH even you.

80
00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:36,000
Speaker 2: Know, yeah, I mean if Devors wants to DH and

81
00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:38,200
Speaker 2: you want to put Wilmer at first, then you can

82
00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:40,400
Speaker 2: have Casey Schmidt play second, like you can do with

83
00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:42,520
Speaker 2: this stuff. And the reason I love this so much

84
00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:45,839
Speaker 2: in that it looks like the hope is a lot

85
00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:47,680
Speaker 2: greater that he can stay on the field. And his

86
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:50,720
Speaker 2: profile is just phenomenal right now. His ten percent barrel,

87
00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:54,000
Speaker 2: almost fifty percent hard hit rate, he's walking almost ten

88
00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:56,000
Speaker 2: percent of the time, he's getting the ball in the air.

89
00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:58,120
Speaker 2: And if you look on he's not qualified, but you

90
00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:01,200
Speaker 2: go into baseball savant from a slider person, he's tops

91
00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:03,800
Speaker 2: of the league and like expected whoa expected batting average,

92
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:06,760
Speaker 2: expected slug he's got that nice launch angle, sweet spot.

93
00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:09,120
Speaker 2: So he's hitting it perfectly. Like there's a lot of

94
00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:11,400
Speaker 2: things that are in favor. It kind of reminds me

95
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:15,760
Speaker 2: of an NL Addison Barger how people are treating Addison Barger.

96
00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:17,560
Speaker 2: Schmidt kind of has that, but he has less of

97
00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:20,799
Speaker 2: a path for people. So maybe get the next Addison

98
00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:21,920
Speaker 2: Barger in Casey Schmidt.

99
00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:23,760
Speaker 1: I like that a lot. That's actually a really good

100
00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:25,920
Speaker 1: camp there. Next gut on our list is another one

101
00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:28,599
Speaker 1: under twenty percent roster, Tyler Freeman, who came over to

102
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:31,080
Speaker 1: the Rockies in a trade with the Guardians. Earlier in

103
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:33,120
Speaker 1: the season and over his last couple of games here

104
00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:35,040
Speaker 1: starting to get really hot, hitting two ninety two over

105
00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:37,360
Speaker 1: that span, with two stolen bases in the last week.

106
00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:39,440
Speaker 1: That's what you're looking for. He's got nine steals on

107
00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:43,400
Speaker 1: the year, hitting three twenty seven. He qualifies a shortstop

108
00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:46,800
Speaker 1: and outfield depending on your league eligibility rules. And look,

109
00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:48,600
Speaker 1: you know at this point you're looking for bats, and

110
00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:51,240
Speaker 1: I think the Rockies are also ready to make some

111
00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:53,880
Speaker 1: hard decisions. You imagine they're going to be trading off

112
00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:56,080
Speaker 1: some pieces too, so more opportunities going to open up

113
00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:57,680
Speaker 1: where things are going to get a little less crowded

114
00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:00,880
Speaker 1: in Colorado come the end of July. Ian McMahon's gone,

115
00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:04,760
Speaker 1: maybe even somebody else. So I could see looking at

116
00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:07,240
Speaker 1: this next player, Tyler Freeman is another guy that might

117
00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:09,560
Speaker 1: be worth a deeper league speculative ad. But what do

118
00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:09,960
Speaker 1: you think?

119
00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:13,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think he's like CVS Jacob Wilson, you know

120
00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:15,479
Speaker 2: what I mean, Like that's where he looks right now.

121
00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:22,040
Speaker 2: Really low strikeouts is really long yeah sea, yeah, yeah,

122
00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:24,000
Speaker 2: Well in Colorado boosts him a little bit, so like

123
00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:26,480
Speaker 2: imagine Jacob Wilson there. So it just kind of has

124
00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:28,919
Speaker 2: some feels of that. The hitting profile isn't super sexy,

125
00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:31,919
Speaker 2: but he is walking more than he's striking out right now.

126
00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:35,400
Speaker 2: He is stealing some bases, and you know, I think

127
00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:37,400
Speaker 2: another guy you could look at. He wasn't on our list,

128
00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:40,160
Speaker 2: but like Mickey Moniac, they've got a couple guys that

129
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:43,080
Speaker 2: you know whether they're going to move off pieces. Assuming

130
00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:45,960
Speaker 2: Ryan McMahon gets traded, like Tyler Freeman, should have the

131
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:48,400
Speaker 2: season just completely in front of him to run with it.

132
00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:51,680
Speaker 2: And it's just a good contact profile, so you gotta

133
00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:54,320
Speaker 2: be careful about it. He'll probably rank even higher. But again,

134
00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:56,840
Speaker 2: you're hitting over three hundred, you got a little bit

135
00:05:56,839 --> 00:05:59,159
Speaker 2: of homer equity. By the way, his homer came on

136
00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:00,919
Speaker 2: the road, not even at home, so you might have

137
00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:03,320
Speaker 2: a little bit more potential home run. And he steals

138
00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:05,200
Speaker 2: a little bit more than a Jacob Wilson, So if

139
00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:08,720
Speaker 2: he keeps up this profile, he might kind of be sneaky.

140
00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:11,159
Speaker 2: And he's got even twelve team format potential on the

141
00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:13,280
Speaker 2: middle endfield and he just needs to continue playing time.

142
00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:14,960
Speaker 2: So yeah, I'm kind of into this one if you're

143
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:16,719
Speaker 2: chasing batting average and maybe runs.

144
00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:19,000
Speaker 1: I didn't put Moniac on the list because I still

145
00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:22,120
Speaker 1: just don't believe in the player. That's that's my you know,

146
00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:24,599
Speaker 1: just shake on it. But I agree, if you're in

147
00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:26,919
Speaker 1: a deeper league and needed outfield help, he might be

148
00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:28,240
Speaker 1: one of those guys you could look at. We went

149
00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:29,520
Speaker 1: through a list of those names. By the way, I'm

150
00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:30,960
Speaker 1: leading off the other day. If you want to check

151
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:33,760
Speaker 1: that out, go watch leading off with Cortman Carroll's injury

152
00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:35,680
Speaker 1: when that happened there and him going on the ALE

153
00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:38,360
Speaker 1: Official League. We listed a bunch of you know, mid

154
00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:40,039
Speaker 1: level names that you know might be out there in

155
00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:42,840
Speaker 1: shallow leagues and even deeper names. But any port in

156
00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:45,400
Speaker 1: a storm right now. And one more reminder. Last week

157
00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:48,599
Speaker 1: a dragover Christian Moore, second base from Los Angeles Angels

158
00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:51,159
Speaker 1: of Anaheim just twenty eight percent roster. His roster percentage

159
00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:53,960
Speaker 1: actually went down for some reason over the weekend. I

160
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:56,480
Speaker 1: don't know why. Maybe people picked him up and they said, ah,

161
00:06:56,520 --> 00:06:58,680
Speaker 1: he's not doing anything, and then yesterday he goes and

162
00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:01,719
Speaker 1: he hits two home runs. Again, the Patien's level just

163
00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:04,000
Speaker 1: not there. So this is more of a public service announcement.

164
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:05,160
Speaker 1: I don't know if there's anything else you want to

165
00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:08,000
Speaker 1: add to Christian Moore. But again second pase is not

166
00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:11,520
Speaker 1: exactly you know, the best out there in terms of

167
00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:14,040
Speaker 1: offensive productivity. If you can stash a guy who might

168
00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:16,680
Speaker 1: figure it out as the season goes on, then Christian

169
00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:18,000
Speaker 1: Moore is one of those guys you want to have

170
00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:18,640
Speaker 1: on your roster.

171
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:20,640
Speaker 2: I think that's the big thing, is like if you

172
00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:23,080
Speaker 2: believe he can figure it out. The negative is he's

173
00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:26,239
Speaker 2: got multi strikeout games and three of his last five

174
00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:28,600
Speaker 2: and a strikeout rates really high. But the positive is

175
00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:30,920
Speaker 2: he does have hits in five of his last seven games,

176
00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:32,920
Speaker 2: and you can see the home run potential. He's barreling

177
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:35,440
Speaker 2: the ball. He's just not hitting it quite hard enough,

178
00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:37,520
Speaker 2: but he's getting it in the air. I think this

179
00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:38,920
Speaker 2: is a guy that is going to figure it out

180
00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:41,239
Speaker 2: during the season, and like, I'd rather have him over

181
00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:44,520
Speaker 2: Tyler Freeman. And that's me chasing a little bit more.

182
00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:47,360
Speaker 2: I think there's three categories that he can really push

183
00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:49,080
Speaker 2: me for where I think Tyler Freeman is kind of

184
00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:51,720
Speaker 2: a two category guy. But yeah, I'm betting on talent

185
00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:53,640
Speaker 2: and I think we've seen a pretty good track record

186
00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:55,560
Speaker 2: a lot of these prospects getting a little bit of

187
00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:58,200
Speaker 2: time figuring it out post All Star Break. Christian Moore

188
00:07:58,240 --> 00:07:59,320
Speaker 2: is going to be a guy to pick up, but

189
00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:01,400
Speaker 2: he's under under two hundred and I think that's why

190
00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:04,880
Speaker 2: the average or the numbers, the percentages and stuff still

191
00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:06,000
Speaker 2: look low on some of the sites.

192
00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:08,640
Speaker 1: All right, before we turn our attention to the arms

193
00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:10,760

Speaker 1: the waiver wire and on all of your league mates

204
00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:40,920
Speaker 1: all season long. Let's start with Eric Lauer of the

205
00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:43,400
Speaker 1: Toronto Blue Jays. Qualifies at RP and s P, which

206
00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:45,439
Speaker 1: is also one of those tricky things. In those deeper leagues,

207
00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:49,360
Speaker 1: we have mandatory RP spots nineteen percent rostered. He's been

208
00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:52,440
Speaker 1: really good recently. Sure SER's back, but I think we

209
00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:54,559
Speaker 1: have every reason to believe that if Lauer continues to

210
00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:56,960
Speaker 1: pitch well, that he is going to stick in this rotation. Welsh.

211
00:08:57,000 --> 00:09:00,400
Speaker 1: It's another strong outing for him, just to get some context.

212
00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:03,840
Speaker 1: Year in June. He has a one to seven zero ERA,

213
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:06,920
Speaker 1: a one whip, twenty one strikeouts, just seven walks, and

214
00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:08,560
Speaker 1: twenty one innings. And it's not like he didn't have

215
00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:12,480
Speaker 1: mild success at times with the Milwaukee Brewers too. So

216
00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:15,319
Speaker 1: Laower looks like a guy that I think in deeper leagues,

217
00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:17,840
Speaker 1: if you're looking for pitching and everybody is, you might

218
00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:19,920
Speaker 1: want to throw onto your waiver wire or start to

219
00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:20,840
Speaker 1: throw some fabat.

220
00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:23,080
Speaker 2: I remember he did this a couple of years ago

221
00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:25,240
Speaker 2: when I think it was with the Brewers and he

222
00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:27,920
Speaker 2: had this like hot He was one of the highest

223
00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:30,840
Speaker 2: forcing fastball k percentages in baseball and he was just

224
00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:33,320
Speaker 2: like getting it done. And he's kind of doing that again.

225
00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:37,559
Speaker 2: The fastball looks phenomenal. Batting average against is under two hundred,

226
00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:38,960
Speaker 2: and by the way he throws it like ninety two

227
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:41,600
Speaker 2: miles an hour, it has a thirty what is it

228
00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:45,319
Speaker 2: a thirty three percent K percentage, which is also not sustainable,

229
00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:47,880
Speaker 2: But it looks just really good, and it's setting up

230
00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:51,520
Speaker 2: some of these other pitches where curveball is an expected

231
00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:54,360
Speaker 2: one for two batting average against, the slider is an

232
00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:57,200
Speaker 2: expected essentially two hundred. The only thing they're getting to

233
00:09:57,320 --> 00:09:58,800
Speaker 2: is a cutter right now. So you've got three of

234
00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:01,839
Speaker 2: four pitches that are get out. His K percentage is

235
00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:04,120
Speaker 2: the highest of his career, his walk percentage is one

236
00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:06,960
Speaker 2: of the lowest. Even the expected ray is in the

237
00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:08,600
Speaker 2: three and a half. Like, there's a lot of great

238
00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:10,800
Speaker 2: stuff here he should stick in. He's been a really

239
00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:13,280
Speaker 2: great streamer, and I think he's moving out of that

240
00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:15,400
Speaker 2: streaming range to like, yeah, maybe you do want to

241
00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:18,520
Speaker 2: hold there might be some regression coming, but that fastball

242
00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:21,800
Speaker 2: has been so good and I think he's floating in

243
00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:24,440
Speaker 2: that like lower just hold on in deeper leagues to

244
00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:25,800
Speaker 2: get some of those starts.

245
00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:28,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm with you on that one. Another guy too

246
00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:30,960
Speaker 1: to talk about, Frankie Montass. I don't know what's in

247
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:33,679
Speaker 1: the water in Queens Man. This guy was dreadful in

248
00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:36,480
Speaker 1: his rehab starts. I had zero hope and somehow he

249
00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:39,040
Speaker 1: had the Braves held down for five score listenings. I

250
00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:43,080
Speaker 1: can't tell you why the velocities up. Everything looks better.

251
00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:45,320
Speaker 1: Maybe he's just working out the kinks and just working

252
00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:47,360
Speaker 1: on stuff, I don't know, just throwing fast balls. I

253
00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:49,319
Speaker 1: didn't watch the rehab starts. I just saw the twelve

254
00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:51,360
Speaker 1: ray and that was enough to scare the crap out

255
00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:54,840
Speaker 1: of me. But the Mets need pitching. They spent on

256
00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:58,320
Speaker 1: Frankie Montas. He's not going anywhere in that rotation. To me,

257
00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:01,960
Speaker 1: with all those reasons, are enough to invest in him

258
00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:04,240
Speaker 1: and just wait and see. I don't know if I

259
00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:07,600
Speaker 1: want to start him necessarily right away again, maybe I

260
00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:09,640
Speaker 1: want to see one more good start, But I think

261
00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:11,920
Speaker 1: it's worth speculating now because if he has one more

262
00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:15,120
Speaker 1: good start, the price is going to go up.

263
00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:16,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a probably a good way to put it.

264
00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:19,199
Speaker 2: I mean, the Mets have just really done a good

265
00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:21,200
Speaker 2: job and as far as their major league and lower

266
00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:25,240
Speaker 2: level minor league pitching development, that that probably has something

267
00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:27,480
Speaker 2: to do with this Vilo increase that we're seeing. That's

268
00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:30,439
Speaker 2: the weirdest thing that you mentioned, and I completely agree.

269
00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:32,360
Speaker 2: It's like he was throwing ninety five last year. He's

270
00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:36,080
Speaker 2: up to ninety six or at least in this start. Yeah,

271
00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:39,440
Speaker 2: and his sinker a full mile per hour higher as well,

272
00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:42,520
Speaker 2: so I think there's something there. I think he got

273
00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:44,680
Speaker 2: away with some stuff in this start. You know, forty

274
00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:46,840
Speaker 2: percent poll rate on him, so we're going to have to,

275
00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:50,040
Speaker 2: you know, continue to monitor. Walk rate was still really high.

276
00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:52,680
Speaker 2: But you know, let's see. I think Frankie Montos on

277
00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:55,080
Speaker 2: this team context as a player that is worth picking up,

278
00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:56,959
Speaker 2: even out of the streamer range as well, to see

279
00:11:57,000 --> 00:11:59,000
Speaker 2: if it works. I think at the end of the

280
00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:01,839
Speaker 2: day this is probably and be like a high three,

281
00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:04,680
Speaker 2: low four era guy, but he just might walk into

282
00:12:04,679 --> 00:12:06,720
Speaker 2: some runs. And he looked good against a great team

283
00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:09,040
Speaker 2: to start, so don't let him sit too long and

284
00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:10,520
Speaker 2: potentially speculate now.

285
00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:13,640
Speaker 1: Diddy or Fuentez has another start today against the Mets. Again,

286
00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:15,200
Speaker 1: as of recording this, we don't know how he's doing.

287
00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:17,520
Speaker 1: The first start. He saw some glimpses out of him.

288
00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:20,280
Speaker 1: Twenty years old, still very young. Still more of a

289
00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:22,320
Speaker 1: spot start right now for the Braves, but another guy

290
00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:24,800
Speaker 1: that you might want to speculate on because Sale is

291
00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:26,480
Speaker 1: going to be out for a while and you know,

292
00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:28,880
Speaker 1: if the Braves get stretched in that rotation. Fwentes could

293
00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:30,840
Speaker 1: be a guy who can make a few more starts

294
00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:32,840
Speaker 1: for Atlanta, but I want to focus our attentions to

295
00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:36,640
Speaker 1: Jansen Junk of the Miami Marlins. Now. You can laugh

296
00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:39,520
Speaker 1: about the name all you want, but Junk right now

297
00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:41,680
Speaker 1: is going to get an opportunity to stick in that

298
00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:44,480
Speaker 1: Marlins rotation. Because Max Meyer is done for the year,

299
00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:48,880
Speaker 1: probably al Contra and or Cabrera is going to get

300
00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:52,240
Speaker 1: moved from that rotation and Junk right now, I think

301
00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:55,160
Speaker 1: if you, you know, just kind of look around trying

302
00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:57,240
Speaker 1: to find some depth of arms, and you have so

303
00:12:57,320 --> 00:13:00,600
Speaker 1: many injuries, I think it's worth me be just throwing

304
00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:02,680
Speaker 1: a couple bucks on him. He struck out nine over

305
00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:06,120
Speaker 1: his last ten and two thirds innings. Again, doesn't have

306
00:13:06,160 --> 00:13:07,920
Speaker 1: a lot of success at the big league level, but

307
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:10,840
Speaker 1: opportunity is striking right now for him. He also has

308
00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:14,480
Speaker 1: on the year in twenty seven innings, Welsh twenty five

309
00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:17,000
Speaker 1: strikeouts and just two walks. If you're only your strike out,

310
00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:19,840
Speaker 1: you guys got twenty five guys and walk just two guys.

311
00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:23,040
Speaker 1: I don't care who you are. It piques my interest

312
00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:24,400
Speaker 1: and I want to have him on my roster.

313
00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:27,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, and the context too is six starts, he's only

314
00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:30,079
Speaker 2: walked two. So even outside of the innings that six

315
00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:34,440
Speaker 2: starts he's walked to another kind of interesting one. He

316
00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:37,240
Speaker 2: had one bad outing he gave up five earned runs,

317
00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:40,400
Speaker 2: but all his other starts, his other five starts, he's

318
00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:43,040
Speaker 2: given up less than that. So one outing had more

319
00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:44,720
Speaker 2: earned runs given up than he had given up the

320
00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:47,320
Speaker 2: entire season. The low walk rate is kind of what

321
00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:51,520
Speaker 2: really gets me excited. This is another testament to the

322
00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:54,880
Speaker 2: off season video we did with Lance Prasdowski talking about

323
00:13:54,920 --> 00:13:57,800
Speaker 2: just the system of how they're redeveloping, and you see

324
00:13:57,800 --> 00:14:01,480
Speaker 2: a Velo increase on the four scene fastball. You see

325
00:14:02,640 --> 00:14:04,920
Speaker 2: he's actually added the sweeper in as a really high

326
00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:07,719
Speaker 2: usage pitch which is getting some outs. And I think

327
00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:10,320
Speaker 2: the main thing you said is like they're gonna trade

328
00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:13,000
Speaker 2: out some guys. There's gonna be some potential rotation spots

329
00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:16,120
Speaker 2: out there, and Jason Jensen Junk has actually been pretty decent,

330
00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:18,520
Speaker 2: so I'm open to streaming him for sure.

331
00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:21,640
Speaker 1: All Right, outside of Chandler Simpson, these guys are not

332
00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:25,040
Speaker 1: rostered in a lot of leagues. Lower nineteen percent, Montoss

333
00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:28,200
Speaker 1: twelve percent to your Fuentes ten and Jansen junk four

334
00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:30,360
Speaker 1: percent of CBS leagues. So I don't want to hear

335
00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:33,280
Speaker 1: the YouTube comments talking about, Oh, these guys are all

336
00:14:33,280 --> 00:14:35,560
Speaker 1: gone in my league. No they're not. I can tell

337
00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:38,280
Speaker 1: you they're not. They're all available. But we do love
