1
00:00:05,840 --> 00:00:08,399
Speaker 1: Welcome and everybody to Fantasy pros MLB. It's time to

2
00:00:08,440 --> 00:00:10,960
Speaker 1: talk some trades. It's me joeyp Jo Pi's Apia with me.

3
00:00:11,039 --> 00:00:14,240
Speaker 1: Of course is the Welsh, and of course sometimes we

4
00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:16,799
Speaker 1: like to buy players just on principle. We've done that

5
00:00:16,840 --> 00:00:19,320
Speaker 1: a few times. Last week we talked about Corey Sieger.

6
00:00:19,360 --> 00:00:22,400
Speaker 1: But it's not just the veterans. Sometimes it's the youth

7
00:00:22,440 --> 00:00:25,520
Speaker 1: of America as well. We get spoiled with these prospects

8
00:00:25,600 --> 00:00:28,440
Speaker 1: when they don't hit right away. We're like Veruka in

9
00:00:28,520 --> 00:00:31,720
Speaker 1: Willy Wonka. I want it now. Father. You can't always

10
00:00:31,720 --> 00:00:35,040
Speaker 1: have what you want any no. I brought up a

11
00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:38,160
Speaker 1: prospect and I wanted to hit five hundred right away.

12
00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:41,400
Speaker 1: It doesn't happen that way. But if you're patient, perhaps

13
00:00:41,479 --> 00:00:44,320
Speaker 1: you get that Nick Kurtz bounce, and we both want

14
00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:47,320
Speaker 1: that out of Roman Anthony. Roman Anthony has been struggle

15
00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:49,680
Speaker 1: bus at the big league so far, hitting one twenty

16
00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:52,479
Speaker 1: eight with a five sixty two OPS. But let's not

17
00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:54,640
Speaker 1: forget at Triple A this year he was hitting two

18
00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:57,120
Speaker 1: eighty eight with a nine to fourteen OPS. And he's

19
00:00:57,160 --> 00:00:59,800
Speaker 1: a really good hitter. So once again, well she comes

20
00:00:59,840 --> 00:01:03,680
Speaker 1: down to probably folks might have either drafted and stashed

21
00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:05,960
Speaker 1: this guy, spent a lot of fab on this guy.

22
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:09,840
Speaker 1: They haven't gotten results. The pressure is on, and maybe

23
00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:12,080
Speaker 1: all of a sudden there's a window to buy when

24
00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:14,600
Speaker 1: somebody's been too impatient with Roman Anthony. I think there

25
00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:16,440
Speaker 1: is that window, and I want them on my team

26
00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:18,759
Speaker 1: still because I believe in Roman Anthony and I believe

27
00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:20,400
Speaker 1: in where they're hitting him in the order. What say

28
00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:23,640
Speaker 1: you to buying low on a big prospect in baseball

29
00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:24,880
Speaker 1: who's now with the big club.

30
00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:28,080
Speaker 2: I do think there's a justification to end up doing it.

31
00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:31,720
Speaker 2: We're looking at the profile. Fifteen percent barrel rate is

32
00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:34,360
Speaker 2: really great. The sample size is still low. You know,

33
00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:37,160
Speaker 2: we're like under fifty eight bats, but in that time

34
00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:42,800
Speaker 2: great barrel, solid hard hit rate average EVS over ninety one,

35
00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:45,480
Speaker 2: which is really good. Strikeouts, you know, they've been a

36
00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:47,319
Speaker 2: little bit of a problem. One of the things that

37
00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:49,640
Speaker 2: really jumps out to you is the way that he's walking.

38
00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:52,360
Speaker 2: Though he's getting on basis an eighteen percent walk rate,

39
00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:58,200
Speaker 2: dude has walked in five straight games and has what

40
00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:01,080
Speaker 2: is that seven walks in his last five games, So

41
00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:03,960
Speaker 2: I mean he's like, those are the things that are

42
00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:05,840
Speaker 2: going to have pitchers start to adjust to you and

43
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:07,800
Speaker 2: change to you. They're not getting him to chase in

44
00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:10,359
Speaker 2: certain ways. And then you add that to a profile

45
00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:12,760
Speaker 2: that's like, well, you know, there's some big, hard hitting

46
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:16,280
Speaker 2: stuff in his game. He's underperforming against fastballs, which I

47
00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:19,120
Speaker 2: think he can bounce back on. I think there's kind

48
00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:21,240
Speaker 2: of a second half buy for Roman Anthony. We don't

49
00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:22,680
Speaker 2: know what this team is going to look like. If

50
00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:25,760
Speaker 2: they dismantle any more pieces, maybe he can move up.

51
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:26,200
Speaker 1: In the order.

52
00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:30,280
Speaker 2: It's weird to go and buy a post hype prospect

53
00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:32,960
Speaker 2: who's struggling, but in a deeper league. I do think

54
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:34,480
Speaker 2: it could be kind of a sneaky play to get

55
00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:37,160
Speaker 2: him involved. Dynasty's are kind of a whole nother discussion.

56
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:39,519
Speaker 2: I also think he's a decent buy in Dynasty, but

57
00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:42,280
Speaker 2: I don't think there's really anything that's come off of

58
00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:44,520
Speaker 2: his value in redraft. You probably have a lot of

59
00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:47,200
Speaker 2: people deciding maybe I should cut him at this point,

60
00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:49,600
Speaker 2: and I think there is a definite bounce back that's

61
00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:50,520
Speaker 2: in his future.

62
00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:54,120
Speaker 1: Speaking of Dynasty buys, what a perfect segue. Well, if

63
00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:57,400
Speaker 1: you're such a professional, look at that. Christian Campbell, the

64
00:02:57,480 --> 00:03:00,519
Speaker 1: teammate or was teammate at certain times of the year.

65
00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:03,800
Speaker 1: Here of a Roman Anthony Christian Campbell got sent out. Look,

66
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:06,240
Speaker 1: he was brilliant in April, awful in May, get sent

67
00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:08,920
Speaker 1: down in June. It sounds like a song. I don't know,

68
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:11,040
Speaker 1: but let's not forget in the minor leagues and one

69
00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:13,640
Speaker 1: hundred and thirty nine games he hit three twenty seven,

70
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:15,720
Speaker 1: four forty with a five to forty nine, slugging a

71
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:17,880
Speaker 1: nine to eighty nine. Oh ps, he's a really good hitter.

72
00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:20,480
Speaker 1: The league adjusted to him, he didn't adjust back. My

73
00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:23,200
Speaker 1: guess is Welsh. The normal pattern of Christian Campbell goes

74
00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:25,639
Speaker 1: to triple A. You know, maybe after the All Star

75
00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:28,239
Speaker 1: break gets another shot here and that second time around

76
00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:30,560
Speaker 1: is going to be much better. So in redraft leagues,

77
00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:32,000
Speaker 1: I'm sure he's been dropped in a lot of leagues,

78
00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:34,040
Speaker 1: but in deeper ones may be held on to. I

79
00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:36,880
Speaker 1: would look to pry him away, hoping that August and

80
00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:39,840
Speaker 1: September are better months for Christian Campbell, because don't forget,

81
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:42,240
Speaker 1: the Red Sox made a financial investment in this kid.

82
00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:45,120
Speaker 1: They extended him. Follow the money. It means they believe

83
00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:47,600
Speaker 1: in him. Injuries could happen at any moment too where

84
00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:50,240
Speaker 1: Campbell gets another shot. But I do think leaving him

85
00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:51,760
Speaker 1: in triple A for at least a couple weeks to

86
00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:53,520
Speaker 1: get right is a great idea, and I think he

87
00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:55,720
Speaker 1: will get right based on the kind of player he is.

88
00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:58,480
Speaker 1: So whether it's redraft in deeper leagues or even dynasty leagues,

89
00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:01,080
Speaker 1: I think Christian Campbell right now, for me personally, this

90
00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:03,480
Speaker 1: is when you buy because I think the profile is

91
00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:05,720
Speaker 1: still really good and I think the upside is still there.

92
00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:09,680
Speaker 2: Secret sauce in dynasty. Not all dynasty leagues, you know,

93
00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:12,040
Speaker 2: work like this, But if you're in a league where

94
00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:15,200
Speaker 2: you got just anxious owners and stuff like that, that

95
00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:17,920
Speaker 2: you have this great prospect who struggles and this isn't

96
00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:19,760
Speaker 2: like the Roman Anthony one. This is he was up

97
00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:22,720
Speaker 2: up and then when sent down, it's a prime opportunity

98
00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:24,240
Speaker 2: to see if you can go and get that and

99
00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:26,080
Speaker 2: you can go and buy on him. It doesn't always

100
00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:28,599
Speaker 2: work because you got you know, really savvy owners that nope,

101
00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:31,400
Speaker 2: not willing to knowing prospects take some time, but like

102
00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:34,040
Speaker 2: I'm in complete agreement on this one. He was Minor

103
00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:37,440
Speaker 2: League Player of the Month in April. Hit two eighty seven,

104
00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:40,200
Speaker 2: Like he showed off this really good ability to hit

105
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:42,400
Speaker 2: early on, and then he fell into some slumps while

106
00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:44,960
Speaker 2: they were having him move his position. He had you know,

107
00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:47,320
Speaker 2: not to be ruffield. Ever's in this and like you

108
00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:49,279
Speaker 2: don't do it in season, but you know, there was

109
00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:51,480
Speaker 2: just a lot this team was asking of him. He

110
00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:54,360
Speaker 2: struggled with the secondary stuff against like breaking and off

111
00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:56,919
Speaker 2: speed pitches. He was kind of a fastball hitter. I

112
00:04:56,920 --> 00:04:59,279
Speaker 2: think they're gonna retool, get the confidence back up. This

113
00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:02,560
Speaker 2: is a guy that you know made the team. He

114
00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:05,640
Speaker 2: succeeded early and then he struggled. They're going to let

115
00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:08,599
Speaker 2: him reset, get the positional stuff maybe every single day.

116
00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:11,000
Speaker 2: His big focus doesn't need to be playing some other position.

117
00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:13,599
Speaker 2: They're going to clear out some roster space on here,

118
00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:16,919
Speaker 2: and none of that actually matters for Dynasty. That's all

119
00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:20,599
Speaker 2: just conjecture of this season. What a great situation you

120
00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:22,880
Speaker 2: can be in if you kind of stink a little bit.

121
00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:24,880
Speaker 2: Is like, if you have a great team, there's a

122
00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:28,359
Speaker 2: high team that is, you know, making a playoff push,

123
00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:30,640
Speaker 2: and you are maybe building or playing for next year,

124
00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:34,240
Speaker 2: and they have Campbell, it's a perfect opportunity to sell

125
00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:36,919
Speaker 2: some pieces that help someone now buy on Campbell to

126
00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:39,919
Speaker 2: an owner that's frustrated. There's just a lot of a

127
00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:42,080
Speaker 2: lot of pieces in there of why a trade can

128
00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:43,839
Speaker 2: make sense, or at least why you can do some

129
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:46,680
Speaker 2: exploratory looking at Christian Campbell in Dynasty.

130
00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:50,280
Speaker 1: A quick correction before the YouTube comments come out of

131
00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:53,200
Speaker 1: the woodwork. He was Rookie of the Year in April,

132
00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:57,360
Speaker 1: not Minor League player of April. So I hear you, Yeah,

133
00:05:57,640 --> 00:06:00,000
Speaker 1: I see how he says. It's okay. I don't apologize.

134
00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:03,479
Speaker 1: I'm fluent in Welsh. Okay, some people still are learning

135
00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:05,600
Speaker 1: the language. I have my dual lingos and for Spanish.

136
00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:09,240
Speaker 2: I was thinking he was the Minor League player of

137
00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:13,240
Speaker 2: the year last year and all of baseball. That got

138
00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:14,720
Speaker 2: into my brain here, yes.

139
00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:16,360
Speaker 1: Mind it in there. I love it all right. One

140
00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:18,159
Speaker 1: more thing you should combine into your brain is the

141
00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:20,800
Speaker 1: performance of Edward Cabrera the last two months, because it's

142
00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:23,240
Speaker 1: been awesome. As bad as it was in April, where

143
00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:25,159
Speaker 1: he had a seven four to two ERA, if you

144
00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:27,360
Speaker 1: go look at the month of May, in five starts,

145
00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:30,120
Speaker 1: he was two and zero with twenty eight strikeouts and

146
00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:32,200
Speaker 1: eight walks, a two ERA and a one point one

147
00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:35,360
Speaker 1: nine whip so far in June over three starts, thirteen innings,

148
00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:39,600
Speaker 1: fifteen strikeouts, seven walks, a two seven five ERA. Basically

149
00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:42,960
Speaker 1: since April he's been a two point five ERA pitcher.

150
00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:45,680
Speaker 1: And there's a chance Edward Cabrera could end up somewhere else.

151
00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:48,320
Speaker 1: I know he's still controllable, but the Marlins are the Marlins.

152
00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:49,960
Speaker 1: They don't make a lot of good decisions, and at

153
00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:52,640
Speaker 1: any point Edward Cabrera could be somebody that another team

154
00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:55,920
Speaker 1: is looking at. But regardless, Welsh, this turnaround has been

155
00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:58,400
Speaker 1: exquisite and I think he is still a guy you

156
00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:01,720
Speaker 1: could probably buy, considering his ERA is sitting at three

157
00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:03,839
Speaker 1: eight one. Yeah, he's been really good the last couple

158
00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:06,320
Speaker 1: of months, But I wonder if fantasy managers are even

159
00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:10,160
Speaker 1: noticing sometimes because the negativity always attached with Cabrera. To me,

160
00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:13,480
Speaker 1: this is the perfect sneaky purchase right now while the

161
00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:16,240
Speaker 1: last six seven starts have been really great for him,

162
00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:18,520
Speaker 1: and who knows if he ends up on a contending team,

163
00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:19,320
Speaker 1: how goold he could be.

164
00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:21,760
Speaker 2: I'd really love him if he was on another team.

165
00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:24,280
Speaker 2: I don't know if I'm as confident as you in

166
00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:27,760
Speaker 2: buying him in a world that speculates he's gonna be

167
00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:29,840
Speaker 2: like Sandy I think is going to get traded regardless

168
00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:31,920
Speaker 2: of what they're telling us right now. Thanks, Andy's gonna

169
00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:34,040
Speaker 2: get moved. That gives me a little bit more confidence.

170
00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:36,960
Speaker 2: I'm just not sure Edward Cabrera does. That doesn't mean

171
00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:39,240
Speaker 2: like what he's not doing isn't you know, solid like

172
00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:42,320
Speaker 2: he is putting up like two fantastic months. One thing

173
00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:45,000
Speaker 2: that's really weird about the Marlins of noticing it seems

174
00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:48,119
Speaker 2: like there's some like organizational change because you had these guys.

175
00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:50,600
Speaker 2: You had Sandy al Contra, who's like a big, primary,

176
00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:54,000
Speaker 2: high usage change up guy, and you had Cabrera last

177
00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:56,160
Speaker 2: year who threw his change up thirty three percent of

178
00:07:56,160 --> 00:07:58,880
Speaker 2: the time number one pitch. It's still his number one pitch,

179
00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:00,960
Speaker 2: but the usage is down to twenty four. So what

180
00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:02,560
Speaker 2: I'm saying is you got these guys with these great

181
00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:05,880
Speaker 2: changeups that they're lowering the usages of which I don't

182
00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:08,520
Speaker 2: understand why. It has made him a little bit Edward

183
00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:10,840
Speaker 2: Cabrera a little bit more successful this year, higher with

184
00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:14,360
Speaker 2: rates on his curveball and slider as those look like

185
00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:17,360
Speaker 2: at least his slider usage has gone way up curve

186
00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:19,200
Speaker 2: is about the same. I guess what I'm getting at

187
00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:20,960
Speaker 2: is it seems like there might be a little bit

188
00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:23,960
Speaker 2: of an organizational like pitching change, and I wonder the

189
00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:26,240
Speaker 2: long term effects of that. I just don't want to

190
00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:28,760
Speaker 2: edit Cabrera with the Marlins. I'm cool with buying him

191
00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:30,520
Speaker 2: because I think his name value, like you said, is

192
00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:32,959
Speaker 2: pretty pretty low right now, and he's performing at a

193
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:34,720
Speaker 2: high clip. I would love it if he was on

194
00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:36,640
Speaker 2: another team. I'm just not sold that's going to happen.

195
00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:38,800
Speaker 2: But you know, if he can be had for kind

196
00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:41,800
Speaker 2: of next to nothing because of his team context, we're there.

197
00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:45,000
Speaker 2: But long term, I have some questions about Cabrera, all right.

198
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:46,840
Speaker 1: Before we get to the guys to sell, don't forget

207
00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:12,080
Speaker 1: The first one, again is more of a principal thing.

208
00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:14,560
Speaker 1: I love the player. I know Welsh does too. Jeremy

209
00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:16,800
Speaker 1: Penney has had a great season, hitting three twenty six

210
00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:18,920
Speaker 1: on the year, and over his last thirty games he's

211
00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:22,880
Speaker 1: hitting over three sixty. I just think that's gonna come

212
00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:24,360
Speaker 1: back down to earth a little bit. I don't think

213
00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:27,400
Speaker 1: he's a three to sixty hitter necessarily, but it's been

214
00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:30,000
Speaker 1: a great run for him. Regardless. I'm not selling him

215
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:32,760
Speaker 1: for nothing, Welsh, but looking at right now where he

216
00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:35,560
Speaker 1: is in terms of trajectory, do I think he's gonna

217
00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:38,760
Speaker 1: slug five sixty six like he has over the last

218
00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:41,400
Speaker 1: thirty days. I don't know about that. I think that

219
00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:43,320
Speaker 1: maybe we get a little bit of a letdown here,

220
00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:46,520
Speaker 1: especially the longer Alvarez is not in that lineup, the

221
00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:48,800
Speaker 1: less protection there is. I think eventually people start looking

222
00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:51,360
Speaker 1: at pana is, let's not let that guy beat us,

223
00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:53,520
Speaker 1: and I think things might come down to earth. So again,

224
00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:55,559
Speaker 1: this is just a matter of regression, not trying to

225
00:09:55,559 --> 00:09:57,680
Speaker 1: give him away, but this is his peak value, So

226
00:09:57,720 --> 00:10:00,160
Speaker 1: on principle, I'm at least shopping him to see what

227
00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:01,720
Speaker 1: I might be able to bring back from my squad.

228
00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:04,760
Speaker 2: This is a tough one for me because I don't

229
00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:07,120
Speaker 2: disagree with what you're saying. I do not believe he's

230
00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:10,600
Speaker 2: gonna end the year as a three thirty hitter and

231
00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:13,079
Speaker 2: he's just gonna keep building and building. I think this

232
00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:16,520
Speaker 2: regret regression is like it's gonna come in right.

233
00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:21,520
Speaker 1: But my pitching staff sure, but what does regression look like?

234
00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:26,120
Speaker 2: Sometime regression looks like complete failure, and sometimes regression is

235
00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:29,320
Speaker 2: just tiny little bitty bits and it doesn't really affect.

236
00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:32,200
Speaker 2: So my point is, is the number one ward shortstop,

237
00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:35,679
Speaker 2: his name value is really high. If somebody wants to

238
00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:39,840
Speaker 2: pay for him as this three almost thirty hitter and

239
00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:42,200
Speaker 2: you know he's gonna hit twenty five and he's gonna

240
00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:44,360
Speaker 2: steal thirty and he's gonna be a second round player,

241
00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:47,720
Speaker 2: and someone wants to pay at a really, really high cost,

242
00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:50,800
Speaker 2: I am gonna listen. But the idea to trade him

243
00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:55,199
Speaker 2: because he's gonna regress makes him less valuable. I just

244
00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:57,079
Speaker 2: don't think the reg I don't think the regression is

245
00:10:57,120 --> 00:11:00,719
Speaker 2: going to decimate the awesome value in the production you're

246
00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:03,400
Speaker 2: gonna get. So if it's like Jeremy Paani. I'll give

247
00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:04,959
Speaker 2: you a little bit more for him. I'm trying to

248
00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:08,040
Speaker 2: think of like good proper names and trades. I just

249
00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:10,920
Speaker 2: don't think regardless of how valuable he is in real baseball,

250
00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:13,240
Speaker 2: it's like top five in war in Baseball, number one

251
00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:16,880
Speaker 2: shortstop war type with Bobby Wait Junior. He's incredible. I

252
00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:20,160
Speaker 2: just don't know the trade numbers that are gonna come

253
00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:22,840
Speaker 2: your way are gonna make sense regardless of whatever that

254
00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:25,160
Speaker 2: regression looks like, because you know his hitting profile.

255
00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:27,560
Speaker 1: It's just better across the board.

256
00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:29,880
Speaker 2: He's striking out less, he's walking more, he's making higher

257
00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:32,800
Speaker 2: quality of contact. He's hitting over three hundred against breaking

258
00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:35,599
Speaker 2: and ospeed pitches, and he is pulling the ball a

259
00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:38,000
Speaker 2: little bit more. So that regression might be he doesn't

260
00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:40,640
Speaker 2: hit three thirty, but he hits two ninety, and two

261
00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:42,959
Speaker 2: ninety is still really, really valuable. So I got to

262
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:45,240
Speaker 2: get a haul if I'm gonna consider Jamie Penia. So

263
00:11:45,559 --> 00:11:48,520
Speaker 2: I'm pushing back on this one kind of on my principle,

264
00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:49,840
Speaker 2: but it makes sense.

265
00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:52,720
Speaker 1: You're sevninety, He's got to hit a drop off now

266
00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:55,280
Speaker 1: with thirty points. Yeah, that's like that's gonna be tough.

267
00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:57,160
Speaker 1: But that's gonna take his toll on your fantasy team

268
00:11:57,160 --> 00:11:58,440
Speaker 1: if you have him during that stretches.

269
00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:01,080
Speaker 2: But if that's two ninety, okay, But if that two

270
00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:03,720
Speaker 2: to ninety is like he just hits for more power,

271
00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:05,880
Speaker 2: but the batting average goes down and stuff, that's what

272
00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:08,400
Speaker 2: it could happen. But again, you were talking about a

273
00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:11,400
Speaker 2: three thirty, double digit homer and stolen based guy, and

274
00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:13,559
Speaker 2: you can sell war on people. If you can do it,

275
00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:16,199
Speaker 2: you should. You should listen because the best parts of

276
00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:18,080
Speaker 2: Jeremy Pinion may have already happened this season.

277
00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:20,880
Speaker 1: All right, Jonathan Ronda's best parts have definitely been at

278
00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:23,000
Speaker 1: home this year. Three sixty nine batting average with a

279
00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:26,080
Speaker 1: nine to sixty one OPS on the road two fifty

280
00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:30,160
Speaker 1: five batting average, much different player a seven ninety seven OPS.

281
00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:33,360
Speaker 1: That's a huge chasm, almost two hundred points difference there.

282
00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:36,640
Speaker 1: So let's talk about Jonathan Ronda because the Rays are

283
00:12:36,640 --> 00:12:38,560
Speaker 1: gonna be road warriors this summer based on the way

284
00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:40,880
Speaker 1: schedule has been laid out here in the July and

285
00:12:40,920 --> 00:12:43,800
Speaker 1: August period, that could be a problem for Ronda. Again,

286
00:12:43,880 --> 00:12:45,800
Speaker 1: maybe we've seen the best of him, so far in

287
00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:48,559
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five at the front end of the season. Welsh,

288
00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:48,880
Speaker 1: what do you.

289
00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:50,360
Speaker 2: Think, Yeah, I'm with you on this one.

290
00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:50,640
Speaker 1: Yeah.

291
00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:53,520
Speaker 2: The interesting thing was it felt very platoony with him

292
00:12:53,520 --> 00:12:56,400
Speaker 2: as well. That might be gone because he technically it's

293
00:12:56,400 --> 00:12:58,600
Speaker 2: a very short sample size only like fifty at bats

294
00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:01,040
Speaker 2: he's had against lefties, but he is too eighty against

295
00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:04,319
Speaker 2: lefties this year. But of note, there isn't really a

296
00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:06,160
Speaker 2: lot of impact. So like even if you were to

297
00:13:06,160 --> 00:13:08,480
Speaker 2: start playing a few more games, he has no homers

298
00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:13,199
Speaker 2: versus lefties. He has almost no doubles. It's actually kind

299
00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:15,640
Speaker 2: of crazy with the numbers. Look down there, batting average

300
00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:17,480
Speaker 2: drops a little bit, and then you do have this

301
00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:20,320
Speaker 2: really dramatic home road split. This is one of those

302
00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:23,839
Speaker 2: where it's like if Jonathan Ronda becomes a two eighty

303
00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:27,199
Speaker 2: two seventy hitter, he doesn't have enough really impact, you know,

304
00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:29,280
Speaker 2: like we're talking about like you know, Jeremy Pania or

305
00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:32,000
Speaker 2: just a lot of other players. The impactful stats I'm

306
00:13:32,040 --> 00:13:34,480
Speaker 2: not sure gonna look super great. They are still playing platoon,

307
00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:38,040
Speaker 2: little platoony with him that, yeah, I think with how

308
00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:41,719
Speaker 2: high he just ranks everywhere because the websites that you

309
00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:44,480
Speaker 2: guys play on they kind of overvaluate batting average if

310
00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:46,680
Speaker 2: you're in category sometimes, so you know, like Jacob Wilson

311
00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:49,200
Speaker 2: becomes like a top fifteen player, but Hornda hitting three

312
00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:51,560
Speaker 2: twenty five, he's going to rank really high. He's got

313
00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:54,480
Speaker 2: a high batting average, he's got some homers. If you

314
00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:56,400
Speaker 2: go to fangrafts, war is going to rank. And my

315
00:13:56,440 --> 00:13:58,520
Speaker 2: point is is he's just kind of high up there

316
00:13:58,679 --> 00:14:00,560
Speaker 2: that I think you can sell off him. And I

317
00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:03,280
Speaker 2: don't hate this at all from him not playing versus

318
00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:06,000
Speaker 2: lefties and playing more on the road that if I

319
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:08,079
Speaker 2: think I would get out from Jonathan Ronde, even though

320
00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:09,520
Speaker 2: he has been very consistent all year.

321
00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:12,480
Speaker 1: All right, let's talk about one more guy that is

322
00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:14,920
Speaker 1: on his way back and returning for the Cubs, and

323
00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:17,160
Speaker 1: Show to a Monaga was great last year. I was

324
00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:19,000
Speaker 1: a big supporter of his. But I always say that

325
00:14:19,240 --> 00:14:21,280
Speaker 1: when a guy's returning from an injury, Welsh, that's when

326
00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:23,120
Speaker 1: his value was at its peak, right because he hasn't

327
00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:27,000
Speaker 1: really done anything yet. He's all just hope and glory

328
00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:29,760
Speaker 1: and everything is just rosy right now. But everything wasn't

329
00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:32,440
Speaker 1: rosy for show Toy Moanaga before he went on the IL.

330
00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:34,640
Speaker 1: Over his first forty four innings of the season, he

331
00:14:34,760 --> 00:14:37,320
Speaker 1: was pretty rough. His kper nine was at six' eighty,

332
00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:40,960
Speaker 1: five way lower than last year's nine. Mark his walks

333
00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:43,280
Speaker 1: per nine were a two point eight, two way higher

334
00:14:43,280 --> 00:14:45,840
Speaker 1: than last year's one four to five. Mark HIS era

335
00:14:46,040 --> 00:14:47,880
Speaker 1: was a two way two but has expected era was

336
00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:50,440
Speaker 1: four to six. Four he had a four to five

337
00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:53,960
Speaker 1: THREE fip and a four to eight three X. Fip to,

338
00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:56,280
Speaker 1: me if you haven't had A monaga for a, while

339
00:14:56,360 --> 00:14:58,960
Speaker 1: and it's been a while since he's, pitched he has

340
00:14:58,960 --> 00:15:01,080
Speaker 1: a lot of value in the. Trade he pitches for The.

341
00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:02,920
Speaker 1: Cubs he had coming off a great year last. Year

342
00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:05,400
Speaker 1: but if you found The Mizzerrales keys or a couple

343
00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:07,400
Speaker 1: other guys of the waiver, wire The chris Boobage is

344
00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:08,960
Speaker 1: or some guys like that that have really filled the

345
00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:12,000
Speaker 1: spots for you in your, rotation they don't Need. Imanaga

346
00:15:12,440 --> 00:15:14,240
Speaker 1: this is the time to trade. Him based off of

347
00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:16,440
Speaker 1: what he was doing before he went on THE. Il

348
00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:18,240
Speaker 1: what do you think about Dealing imanaga right?

349
00:15:18,280 --> 00:15:20,640
Speaker 2: Now, Yeah i'm kind of open to. THIS i got

350
00:15:20,640 --> 00:15:23,240
Speaker 2: to see him pitch and. Rehab it was one of

351
00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:25,880
Speaker 2: the hottest days, ever out here it was like one

352
00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:28,240
Speaker 2: hundred and eight at like ten, am and he was

353
00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:30,880
Speaker 2: pitching out here in complex and, rehabbing and you, know

354
00:15:30,920 --> 00:15:33,680
Speaker 2: he was, very very efficient going up against these really young,

355
00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:36,520
Speaker 2: guys pitching to a lot of contact, though and you,

356
00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:39,040
Speaker 2: know there was a few really hard hit balls THAT

357
00:15:39,400 --> 00:15:41,200
Speaker 2: i wonder when you start to take that over into

358
00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:44,640
Speaker 2: the major. Leagues what that made me think was maybe

359
00:15:44,640 --> 00:15:47,680
Speaker 2: that low kate percentage was kind of reality to. Him

360
00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:50,320
Speaker 2: and you see those expected er numbers that kind of

361
00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:52,560
Speaker 2: stare at. You if showed To imanaga is a sub

362
00:15:52,680 --> 00:15:56,080
Speaker 2: like twenty to twenty three k percentage. GUY i don't love.

363
00:15:56,120 --> 00:15:58,800
Speaker 2: That i'm not really super excited about. That his walks were.

364
00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:01,960
Speaker 2: Up he's in the expected numbers or up is because

365
00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:04,480
Speaker 2: he was giving up a lot of barreled, contact and

366
00:16:04,840 --> 00:16:08,000
Speaker 2: the expected batting average against the three major pitch types he,

367
00:16:08,080 --> 00:16:10,280
Speaker 2: throws we're all higher than what was actually given. Up

368
00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:13,000
Speaker 2: so there is this weird state of, like you, know

369
00:16:13,160 --> 00:16:15,800
Speaker 2: him kind of expanding in a bad way on his

370
00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:17,840
Speaker 2: stats and getting i don't want to say getting blown,

371
00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:20,440
Speaker 2: up but maybe a tiny. Bit it's actually not a bad.

372
00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:23,480
Speaker 2: Idea there's so many pitching injuries out, There he's about

373
00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:25,520
Speaker 2: to come back on a great. Team people might kind

374
00:16:25,560 --> 00:16:27,520
Speaker 2: of forget some of that and just, go oh, GREAT

375
00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:29,360
Speaker 2: i can get the second half Of. Yamaanaga you might

376
00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:31,440
Speaker 2: be able to get fair value and fair value for Your.

377
00:16:31,440 --> 00:16:33,880
Speaker 2: Monaga has him just moved him up because so many

378
00:16:33,880 --> 00:16:35,840
Speaker 2: pitches have fallen off the? List, YEAH i THINK i

379
00:16:35,880 --> 00:16:39,640
Speaker 2: am definitely open to, consolidating and specifically into the scenario

380
00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:42,920
Speaker 2: you said where you maybe have really hit gold in

381
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:45,600
Speaker 2: some spots and you have a solid. Rotation maybe you

382
00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:47,560
