<v Speaker 1>Speaking Fantasy baseball. Shout out has to go to RBFF

0:01:33.600 --> 0:01:37.160
<v Speaker 1>Michael Floria. Oh absolutely, he had the no I think

0:01:37.200 --> 0:01:39.800
<v Speaker 1>we should give ourselves a shout out. Collected one third

0:01:39.840 --> 0:01:42.959
<v Speaker 1>of it. Yes, of course we won the award two thirds.

0:01:43.520 --> 0:01:45.560
<v Speaker 1>What do you mean we we won the award. We

0:01:45.800 --> 0:01:50.120
<v Speaker 1>won two thirds of the award. Yeah, that's amazing. Yeah.

0:01:50.160 --> 0:01:51.960
<v Speaker 1>He wrote the Blake Snell article when he was with us,

0:01:52.000 --> 0:01:56.280
<v Speaker 1>Greg that was That means under the tutelage of Bffy,

0:01:56.640 --> 0:01:59.760
<v Speaker 1>with the emotional support of his BFF, we were there

0:02:00.600 --> 0:02:02.400
<v Speaker 1>to cheer him on in the background while he's looking

0:02:02.440 --> 0:02:05.040
<v Speaker 1>up his Blake Snell heat maps. Mostly I was hitting

0:02:05.040 --> 0:02:09.679
<v Speaker 1>on him at the time by Curry, but now my

0:02:09.840 --> 0:02:13.920
<v Speaker 1>hatred drove him to write the Fantasy Baseball Article of

0:02:14.120 --> 0:02:17.520
<v Speaker 1>the Year for in the f s W A Mike

0:02:17.560 --> 0:02:22.000
<v Speaker 1>Florial f W A award winner. Absolute shout out to Mikey. Rats.

0:02:22.080 --> 0:02:26.040
<v Speaker 1>That's freaking awesome. Man. May twenty nineteen be the year? Frank?

0:02:28.080 --> 0:02:31.440
<v Speaker 1>Probably not? Why not? Man? Yearn to nail it this year.

0:02:31.440 --> 0:02:35.080
<v Speaker 1>I feel good about it. All right, let's figure some

0:02:35.240 --> 0:02:38.000
<v Speaker 1>you know, I gotta start writing in order to the

0:02:38.080 --> 0:02:43.520
<v Speaker 1>year right, because we know the BFC ain't getting any love. No,

0:02:43.840 --> 0:02:48.400
<v Speaker 1>probably not, Floria. So good job, Mikey. We love it.

0:02:48.520 --> 0:02:50.560
<v Speaker 1>And by the way, if you want to see who

0:02:50.600 --> 0:02:54.520
<v Speaker 1>Florio is projecting. Is this year's Blake Snell? Checking his

0:02:54.560 --> 0:02:57.120
<v Speaker 1>patreon right now. I believe he has an article up

0:02:57.360 --> 0:03:00.120
<v Speaker 1>and he's got a couple of potential candidates that be

0:03:00.320 --> 0:03:04.079
<v Speaker 1>this year's Blake's now one guy in particular, so check

0:03:04.120 --> 0:03:06.120
<v Speaker 1>it out. Mike Flora was tweeted out he's got a patreon.

0:03:06.360 --> 0:03:07.960
<v Speaker 1>I don't know we're allowed to advertise that, but I'm

0:03:07.960 --> 0:03:10.200
<v Speaker 1>doing anyway because f I don't care. Check out my

0:03:10.200 --> 0:03:14.040
<v Speaker 1>Flora's patreon for that. Cool. Definitely, what's up? You had

0:03:14.040 --> 0:03:16.560
<v Speaker 1>you sleep last night? It's a great last night, Frank.

0:03:17.720 --> 0:03:20.000
<v Speaker 1>It was my best sleep in weeks to be Hodesday,

0:03:20.560 --> 0:03:22.919
<v Speaker 1>because Judy didn't have a coughing attack. Wasn't we trying

0:03:22.919 --> 0:03:25.400
<v Speaker 1>to sleep? Which is what happened. He went to bed

0:03:25.440 --> 0:03:28.720
<v Speaker 1>last night. She was very kind and went to bed

0:03:28.800 --> 0:03:30.239
<v Speaker 1>like an hour before me, so by the time I

0:03:30.280 --> 0:03:32.040
<v Speaker 1>went to bed, she would be sleeping so she wouldn't

0:03:32.080 --> 0:03:33.919
<v Speaker 1>be coughing. And I went to bed and I still

0:03:33.960 --> 0:03:36.960
<v Speaker 1>like a baby. He was awesome. Now is do you

0:03:37.000 --> 0:03:40.080
<v Speaker 1>be a light sleeper? Heavy sleeper? She's a very very

0:03:40.120 --> 0:03:45.680
<v Speaker 1>heavy sleeper, so she can sleep through a hurricane. A

0:03:46.480 --> 0:03:49.280
<v Speaker 1>very light very very light. I wake up for anything.

0:03:50.080 --> 0:03:53.920
<v Speaker 1>Here's the problem. Yeah, he who wakes up the middle

0:03:53.920 --> 0:03:56.480
<v Speaker 1>of night. She tries to the middle of night, in

0:03:56.480 --> 0:03:59.440
<v Speaker 1>the middle of the night, you're sleeping. It's tough. Man's

0:03:59.560 --> 0:04:02.560
<v Speaker 1>that a because she's a big time and it's rough man.

0:04:02.760 --> 0:04:04.640
<v Speaker 1>So so for we did like we'll do like the

0:04:04.800 --> 0:04:07.120
<v Speaker 1>cuddle before we go, and I'll wake up and there's

0:04:07.200 --> 0:04:09.360
<v Speaker 1>like there's an inch on my side of the bed

0:04:09.440 --> 0:04:12.600
<v Speaker 1>and there's like three ft on her a choke. So

0:04:12.680 --> 0:04:14.520
<v Speaker 1>I actually feel like I get pretty mad at in

0:04:14.520 --> 0:04:18.200
<v Speaker 1>the middle of night, like get get on my side

0:04:18.200 --> 0:04:22.640
<v Speaker 1>of bed. I get pretty Oh my god, do you

0:04:22.680 --> 0:04:28.400
<v Speaker 1>get animated? Oh my god? So for me, like Junie,

0:04:28.400 --> 0:04:31.920
<v Speaker 1>I O cuddle right, and then basically she goes hard way,

0:04:32.360 --> 0:04:35.000
<v Speaker 1>I go my way. That's that's that's the best way

0:04:35.040 --> 0:04:36.960
<v Speaker 1>to do it. And that's it. Sometimes she feels covered,

0:04:37.000 --> 0:04:38.880
<v Speaker 1>so I just like angrily grabbed them. That's about it.

0:04:39.360 --> 0:04:43.200
<v Speaker 1>She we have our side the dumb button. We need that.

0:04:43.920 --> 0:04:48.560
<v Speaker 1>Voters got to put a bleeping in on the man. Frankie, Sorry,

0:04:48.560 --> 0:04:51.839
<v Speaker 1>man got a little ndmated last night. I was, you know,

0:04:51.839 --> 0:04:53.560
<v Speaker 1>I had to be here a little bit earlier today.

0:04:54.839 --> 0:04:56.640
<v Speaker 1>Do you think that I wanted to get out of

0:04:56.640 --> 0:04:58.680
<v Speaker 1>bed because we were traveling to work together today as well.

0:04:58.720 --> 0:05:00.240
<v Speaker 1>I didn't ask you to be here, Like, so I'm

0:05:00.279 --> 0:05:02.159
<v Speaker 1>reading about that Tobias Harris trade. I didn't ask you

0:05:02.240 --> 0:05:04.320
<v Speaker 1>to hear at the crack of dawn. I know, but

0:05:04.400 --> 0:05:06.120
<v Speaker 1>I'm still just not a morning game. It's about like

0:05:06.200 --> 0:05:10.039
<v Speaker 1>fifteen minutes earlier than normal. It wasn't like I didn't

0:05:10.040 --> 0:05:12.840
<v Speaker 1>have to do anything crazy. And you said, you mean

0:05:12.960 --> 0:05:18.640
<v Speaker 1>say had no problem. Yeah, that was awesome. Okay, all

0:05:18.720 --> 0:05:22.520
<v Speaker 1>we're gonna talk about stings that are have changed places today. Great,

0:05:22.720 --> 0:05:25.160
<v Speaker 1>so three in particular. So basically Frank and I were

0:05:25.160 --> 0:05:26.680
<v Speaker 1>going back and forth last night, but what we want?

0:05:26.720 --> 0:05:28.480
<v Speaker 1>What the hell do we talk about? Right, So we're

0:05:28.480 --> 0:05:30.200
<v Speaker 1>trying to figure out correct and we give up with

0:05:30.320 --> 0:05:33.120
<v Speaker 1>loads of ideas that we're gonna really go over over

0:05:33.160 --> 0:05:34.720
<v Speaker 1>the next couple of weeks, Like we're gonna get into

0:05:34.760 --> 0:05:36.640
<v Speaker 1>your first round breakdown because we haven't been talked about

0:05:36.640 --> 0:05:38.000
<v Speaker 1>that yet, right, Like how the first round is going

0:05:38.040 --> 0:05:39.599
<v Speaker 1>this year? Yeah, I'm probably gonna do that without you.

0:05:40.279 --> 0:05:42.360
<v Speaker 1>That's fine, Like we aren't doing a little bit when

0:05:42.360 --> 0:05:44.120
<v Speaker 1>we get back, like we as the show, we're gonna

0:05:44.120 --> 0:05:45.880
<v Speaker 1>do like a first round breakdown, and then we're in

0:05:45.920 --> 0:05:48.000
<v Speaker 1>the second round, and then of course as we get

0:05:48.000 --> 0:05:50.279
<v Speaker 1>deeper to February, we'll both have our rankings and we'll

0:05:50.600 --> 0:05:52.440
<v Speaker 1>kind of talk about all these guys. We're gonna talk

0:05:52.440 --> 0:05:54.279
<v Speaker 1>about guys that have had good luck, guys that have

0:05:54.360 --> 0:05:58.200
<v Speaker 1>had bad luck, guys that our hype guys, and guys

0:05:58.279 --> 0:06:00.719
<v Speaker 1>that should be hype guys, young players. We have a

0:06:00.720 --> 0:06:03.000
<v Speaker 1>whole list of stuff we want to get into, and

0:06:03.040 --> 0:06:05.160
<v Speaker 1>now is the time to get into it. And I'm

0:06:05.200 --> 0:06:08.159
<v Speaker 1>super super excited about it. The more baseball research I've done,

0:06:08.400 --> 0:06:09.960
<v Speaker 1>like I kind of want to do best ball. I

0:06:10.000 --> 0:06:13.400
<v Speaker 1>never do best ball. So it's like I'm watching Frank

0:06:13.440 --> 0:06:15.599
<v Speaker 1>to his second one of the year and I'm like,

0:06:15.600 --> 0:06:17.600
<v Speaker 1>oh my god, your team is awesome, and I'm feeling it.

0:06:17.839 --> 0:06:20.120
<v Speaker 1>I just had my fifth round pick. Would you like

0:06:20.120 --> 0:06:23.960
<v Speaker 1>to know who it is? Else? I had the sixth

0:06:23.960 --> 0:06:26.120
<v Speaker 1>pick in the draft out of twelve people. Fan tracks.

0:06:26.120 --> 0:06:28.120
<v Speaker 1>They run these best ball leagues. They have different kind

0:06:28.120 --> 0:06:30.720
<v Speaker 1>of payout structures. They have ones where if you finish

0:06:30.760 --> 0:06:32.560
<v Speaker 1>in the top half of the league, you basically just

0:06:32.600 --> 0:06:34.279
<v Speaker 1>double your money. So if it's a ten dollar league,

0:06:34.320 --> 0:06:36.680
<v Speaker 1>you'll win twenty dollars, very similar to a cash game

0:06:36.760 --> 0:06:39.040
<v Speaker 1>kind of mindset. And then they also have these leagues

0:06:39.080 --> 0:06:42.040
<v Speaker 1>where it's where it's twelve teams and I believe it's

0:06:42.120 --> 0:06:45.000
<v Speaker 1>a first and second place prize where first, you know,

0:06:45.080 --> 0:06:47.080
<v Speaker 1>if you spend ten dollars for the league, you win

0:06:47.080 --> 0:06:49.240
<v Speaker 1>like a hundred, and in second place you'll you'll get

0:06:49.240 --> 0:06:51.400
<v Speaker 1>like double your money back, like twenty bucks or whatever

0:06:51.440 --> 0:06:53.360
<v Speaker 1>it is. So they have these really cool best ball

0:06:53.400 --> 0:06:56.320
<v Speaker 1>leagues over on fan tracks. I had the sixth overall

0:06:56.360 --> 0:06:59.560
<v Speaker 1>pick in this draft. For me, having aces that are

0:06:59.560 --> 0:07:03.120
<v Speaker 1>going to give you solid ennings, Greg is very very

0:07:03.160 --> 0:07:05.960
<v Speaker 1>important in bestball leagues. So with the sixth pick, I

0:07:06.000 --> 0:07:07.919
<v Speaker 1>wanted the next Yerson. He want one pick before me.

0:07:08.240 --> 0:07:10.320
<v Speaker 1>I had a dilemma in my hands whether to take.

0:07:10.440 --> 0:07:12.320
<v Speaker 1>You know, I was debating between Mets and Red Sox,

0:07:12.360 --> 0:07:15.280
<v Speaker 1>so never a good decision, but I was debating Jacob Degraham,

0:07:15.520 --> 0:07:18.040
<v Speaker 1>Chris Sale, and j D. Martinez. I ended up taking

0:07:18.120 --> 0:07:20.280
<v Speaker 1>Jacob Degraham just because I feel like the endings are

0:07:20.280 --> 0:07:22.440
<v Speaker 1>a little bit safer than Chris Sale. Maybe it's a

0:07:22.480 --> 0:07:24.480
<v Speaker 1>little bit unfair because if you look at Chris Sale

0:07:24.520 --> 0:07:27.560
<v Speaker 1>every year before last year, he's well over two innings. Well,

0:07:27.640 --> 0:07:30.120
<v Speaker 1>last year it was one nine. Let's worry about the

0:07:30.160 --> 0:07:32.040
<v Speaker 1>wirey frame a little bit. I think they're very close.

0:07:32.120 --> 0:07:34.760
<v Speaker 1>In Rhodo. I would take Chris Sale because on a

0:07:34.800 --> 0:07:36.960
<v Speaker 1>per game, on a purse start basis, I do think

0:07:36.960 --> 0:07:39.720
<v Speaker 1>he's better than Jacob Degraham. But I trust Jacob Degram

0:07:39.720 --> 0:07:41.640
<v Speaker 1>a little bit more for the ending. So I took

0:07:41.720 --> 0:07:44.280
<v Speaker 1>him in the first round, came back, took Jean Carlos

0:07:44.280 --> 0:07:46.400
<v Speaker 1>Stanton in the second round, because you do need five

0:07:46.400 --> 0:07:48.880
<v Speaker 1>outfielders to start in these leagues. In the third round

0:07:48.880 --> 0:07:51.680
<v Speaker 1>it took Blake's Nell. Michael Flordials breaks Blake's nell. The

0:07:51.680 --> 0:07:55.000
<v Speaker 1>fourth round it took Hapy Bias because, uh, the second

0:07:55.000 --> 0:07:57.160
<v Speaker 1>based position is a little bit shallow this year. And

0:07:57.160 --> 0:08:01.440
<v Speaker 1>then the fifth round came back and it took our

0:08:01.520 --> 0:08:08.160
<v Speaker 1>guy greg A. You Henny oh Suarez. This year it

0:08:08.240 --> 0:08:10.080
<v Speaker 1>might be a little bit early, but I thought there

0:08:10.120 --> 0:08:13.200
<v Speaker 1>was kind of a drop off after him, so I

0:08:13.200 --> 0:08:15.080
<v Speaker 1>wanted either him or Rendn. I wanted one of those

0:08:15.080 --> 0:08:18.600
<v Speaker 1>guys as my third. Fair enough. Now, Frankie's actually been

0:08:18.720 --> 0:08:21.800
<v Speaker 1>very much on pitching early this year. He's more on

0:08:21.880 --> 0:08:23.440
<v Speaker 1>it than I remember you being the last couple of

0:08:23.480 --> 0:08:25.080
<v Speaker 1>years saying I gotta get a picture. I gotta get

0:08:25.080 --> 0:08:26.800
<v Speaker 1>a picture, I gotta get a picture. This isn't something

0:08:26.840 --> 0:08:29.800
<v Speaker 1>I remember that you were so headstrong about in the past,

0:08:30.720 --> 0:08:33.120
<v Speaker 1>because in my opinion, there are a lot of second

0:08:33.200 --> 0:08:35.400
<v Speaker 1>round hitters that have been first round talent in the

0:08:35.400 --> 0:08:39.160
<v Speaker 1>past couple of years. So if you can anchor your staff,

0:08:39.200 --> 0:08:41.520
<v Speaker 1>we we know that. You know, there are less than

0:08:41.640 --> 0:08:45.120
<v Speaker 1>less starting pitchers going two endings pitched every single season.

0:08:45.720 --> 0:08:49.599
<v Speaker 1>Last year had thirteen of them, the least in MLB history.

0:08:49.920 --> 0:08:53.560
<v Speaker 1>So you know, those anchors, those workhorse starting pitchers, those

0:08:53.559 --> 0:08:55.480
<v Speaker 1>guys who are gonna give you endings, give you really

0:08:55.520 --> 0:08:58.440
<v Speaker 1>good endings too, there are few and far between. So

0:08:58.840 --> 0:09:00.760
<v Speaker 1>I really like, you know, I think the cut off

0:09:00.800 --> 0:09:03.040
<v Speaker 1>for me is really Verlander. I want to have one

0:09:03.080 --> 0:09:06.120
<v Speaker 1>of those, you know, top seven eight starting pitchers, whether

0:09:06.200 --> 0:09:11.520
<v Speaker 1>it's you know, Sales Serz or de gram Clueber Verlanders

0:09:11.520 --> 0:09:13.480
<v Speaker 1>in that mix. I want one of those guys, and

0:09:13.480 --> 0:09:14.840
<v Speaker 1>then you know, maybe I'll wait till a third or

0:09:14.840 --> 0:09:17.040
<v Speaker 1>fourth round to get my second starting pitcher. But really,

0:09:17.080 --> 0:09:19.480
<v Speaker 1>I think that you can execute that plan this year

0:09:19.520 --> 0:09:22.120
<v Speaker 1>more than ever before, because again in the second round,

0:09:22.120 --> 0:09:25.600
<v Speaker 1>of drafts this season. There are more prominent hitters, more

0:09:25.679 --> 0:09:29.520
<v Speaker 1>first round talent type hitters going in the second round

0:09:29.520 --> 0:09:32.160
<v Speaker 1>this year than ever before. Like you're seeing guys, I

0:09:32.200 --> 0:09:34.240
<v Speaker 1>got John Carlos Stanton in the second round. You're getting

0:09:34.280 --> 0:09:36.040
<v Speaker 1>him in the second You're getting Aaron Judge in the

0:09:36.040 --> 0:09:37.880
<v Speaker 1>second round. You're getting out to of it. You're getting

0:09:37.880 --> 0:09:40.480
<v Speaker 1>Bryce Harper and Machado because they haven't signed. You're getting

0:09:40.480 --> 0:09:42.720
<v Speaker 1>Paul Goldschmidt because he got off to a slow start

0:09:42.800 --> 0:09:44.959
<v Speaker 1>last year and he's changed teams. He's no longer in

0:09:45.040 --> 0:09:48.040
<v Speaker 1>Chase Field. He's now playing in St. Louis with the Cardinals.

0:09:48.160 --> 0:09:51.000
<v Speaker 1>So there are there are a lot of first round

0:09:51.160 --> 0:09:54.040
<v Speaker 1>caliber talent offensive players that you can get in the

0:09:54.080 --> 0:09:56.440
<v Speaker 1>second round. So I really like the idea this year

0:09:56.440 --> 0:10:00.920
<v Speaker 1>of starting with a starting pitcher. It's not it's not

0:10:00.960 --> 0:10:02.960
<v Speaker 1>like in Cement, it's not in Stone. I don't have

0:10:03.040 --> 0:10:04.640
<v Speaker 1>to do that. I think, you know, there are plenty

0:10:04.640 --> 0:10:06.920
<v Speaker 1>different ways to win in fantasy baseball. You'd have to

0:10:06.960 --> 0:10:08.920
<v Speaker 1>hit on some of those mid round starting pitcher picks.

0:10:09.240 --> 0:10:11.240
<v Speaker 1>We'll do a show about those guys too, the hype guys,

0:10:11.559 --> 0:10:15.560
<v Speaker 1>you know, Flaherty and Jamison Tyne and we'll talk about today.

0:10:15.559 --> 0:10:17.240
<v Speaker 1>A lot of people are on those guys, and if

0:10:17.280 --> 0:10:19.000
<v Speaker 1>you hit on those guys, you can still win in

0:10:19.040 --> 0:10:21.599
<v Speaker 1>fantasy baseball. But there's the reason why you got to

0:10:21.679 --> 0:10:23.480
<v Speaker 1>use the first round pick on like a Scherzer or

0:10:23.520 --> 0:10:26.440
<v Speaker 1>a Sale or or a de Gram. Those guys are

0:10:26.480 --> 0:10:29.080
<v Speaker 1>hard to find. Yeah, I mean listen. I'll point out

0:10:29.080 --> 0:10:31.240
<v Speaker 1>to my in my league last year, where I drafted

0:10:31.440 --> 0:10:33.559
<v Speaker 1>in the like the eleventh and twelve, twelve and thirteen

0:10:33.800 --> 0:10:35.719
<v Speaker 1>around that, I draft the Corvin and Snell, and I'll

0:10:35.720 --> 0:10:38.600
<v Speaker 1>point to that that's why I won. But my first

0:10:38.640 --> 0:10:41.400
<v Speaker 1>round pick would take him to Gram, which is certainly

0:10:41.400 --> 0:10:44.000
<v Speaker 1>helpful to that. And I was able to make a

0:10:44.040 --> 0:10:46.440
<v Speaker 1>trade and swinger Carlos Carrasco as well. So it's like,

0:10:47.360 --> 0:10:49.480
<v Speaker 1>I'm with you, Rasco. You're getting in the third fourth

0:10:49.520 --> 0:10:52.079
<v Speaker 1>round this year. That's awesome value. And so I am

0:10:52.120 --> 0:10:54.040
<v Speaker 1>somebody that is completely with you. And I have been

0:10:54.679 --> 0:10:57.839
<v Speaker 1>long on this track of really buying the pitching. Admittedly,

0:10:57.880 --> 0:11:00.960
<v Speaker 1>I'm a points league guy. I'm ahead to head guy

0:11:01.360 --> 0:11:04.480
<v Speaker 1>rather than Rhodo. I have not found my sweet spot

0:11:04.559 --> 0:11:07.320
<v Speaker 1>with Rhodo, which is why I have struggled in the past. Um,

0:11:08.080 --> 0:11:10.000
<v Speaker 1>this year, and I'm hoping this year you have an

0:11:10.000 --> 0:11:11.959
<v Speaker 1>auction team together. We have to run. So we'll talk

0:11:11.960 --> 0:11:14.760
<v Speaker 1>about auxin strategy because we've already found, like I think,

0:11:14.760 --> 0:11:17.360
<v Speaker 1>two players that we kind of liked together that we

0:11:17.440 --> 0:11:20.079
<v Speaker 1>might be targeting. That that was what was cool. That

0:11:20.360 --> 0:11:23.000
<v Speaker 1>what I liked about that those two guys we looked

0:11:23.000 --> 0:11:26.720
<v Speaker 1>at completely separately, like you had dumped off the page.

0:11:26.720 --> 0:11:28.560
<v Speaker 1>You had found them, and I was doing some research.

0:11:28.600 --> 0:11:30.160
<v Speaker 1>I mean, we can reveal them to and we'll talk

0:11:30.160 --> 0:11:32.160
<v Speaker 1>about them, you know, as the baseball as the fantasy

0:11:32.160 --> 0:11:35.559
<v Speaker 1>baseball prep season goes on. Tommy Fam. So when I

0:11:35.600 --> 0:11:37.640
<v Speaker 1>first started looking at baseball, and I was kind of

0:11:37.800 --> 0:11:39.720
<v Speaker 1>just looking at some of the things that I happened

0:11:39.720 --> 0:11:42.520
<v Speaker 1>to look at, and I was like, Frank, like, my crazy.

0:11:42.520 --> 0:11:44.400
<v Speaker 1>He is like Tommy Fam awesome again, you know, like

0:11:44.440 --> 0:11:46.120
<v Speaker 1>he's like, oh my god, I am so hit on

0:11:46.160 --> 0:11:49.120
<v Speaker 1>Tommy Family. All right, that's awesome. And then about a

0:11:49.120 --> 0:11:51.560
<v Speaker 1>week or two ago, I was looking at I don't

0:11:51.559 --> 0:11:54.080
<v Speaker 1>remember how I got there, but I was looking doing

0:11:54.120 --> 0:11:56.520
<v Speaker 1>a deep dive and I kind of stubbled about run

0:11:56.600 --> 0:11:58.840
<v Speaker 1>and Odor and I said to Frank, am I crazy

0:11:59.040 --> 0:12:01.000
<v Speaker 1>If I like runda odo he goes, Honestly, I haven't

0:12:01.000 --> 0:12:02.839
<v Speaker 1>even looked at second basement yet he comes in this

0:12:02.960 --> 0:12:06.120
<v Speaker 1>Morning's like, dude, I am in a routette odor like, see,

0:12:06.440 --> 0:12:08.400
<v Speaker 1>there's a lot to like there. And it was just

0:12:08.480 --> 0:12:11.880
<v Speaker 1>two guys again we stumbled upon completely completely separately, and

0:12:11.960 --> 0:12:14.760
<v Speaker 1>we both really like that. That's just obviously middle round guys,

0:12:15.000 --> 0:12:17.280
<v Speaker 1>guys that I don't think are hype guys at the moment,

0:12:17.520 --> 0:12:19.600
<v Speaker 1>that aren't costing you all that much. And we'll talk

0:12:19.679 --> 0:12:21.560
<v Speaker 1>more and we'll talk to you. Of course, I've got

0:12:21.600 --> 0:12:23.439
<v Speaker 1>some of the superstars that we prefer in the order

0:12:23.520 --> 0:12:25.199
<v Speaker 1>that we want to do, the early round guys in

0:12:25.640 --> 0:12:28.480
<v Speaker 1>best Frank just mentioned there's a lot of really talented

0:12:28.559 --> 0:12:30.800
<v Speaker 1>hitters in that second Rather, we're gonna jump upon that.

0:12:30.880 --> 0:12:33.920
<v Speaker 1>We're gonna jump upon. We both really like the pictures

0:12:33.960 --> 0:12:36.040
<v Speaker 1>early and when it was auction draft strategy and excited

0:12:36.080 --> 0:12:38.120
<v Speaker 1>to talk to when you talk to ian Con next week,

0:12:38.200 --> 0:12:39.600
<v Speaker 1>where I'm sure you'll have a lot of auction draft

0:12:39.640 --> 0:12:41.600
<v Speaker 1>strategy there, because maybe we should need lessons from ian

0:12:41.679 --> 0:12:44.439
<v Speaker 1>Con who continues to dominate our auction and do well

0:12:44.840 --> 0:12:49.520
<v Speaker 1>um destroyed our league last year year. Maybe a lot

0:12:49.600 --> 0:12:51.439
<v Speaker 1>of mid you know, mid value guys. So maybe we

0:12:51.440 --> 0:12:54.760
<v Speaker 1>get some strategy advice from him. Yeah, you know, Ian Cohn,

0:12:54.960 --> 0:12:57.520
<v Speaker 1>fan of the program, friend of the program. I'm sure

0:12:57.600 --> 0:12:59.240
<v Speaker 1>he'll be down to come on. I know specifically next

0:12:59.240 --> 0:13:00.920
<v Speaker 1>week he wants to talk a lot about his dynasty

0:13:00.920 --> 0:13:04.560
<v Speaker 1>and rankings. He also talk to himout auction strategy before

0:13:04.600 --> 0:13:07.280
<v Speaker 1>our draft would be very helpful. I'm sure that we'll

0:13:07.280 --> 0:13:09.240
<v Speaker 1>get Ian con in at some point to to do

0:13:09.320 --> 0:13:13.160
<v Speaker 1>an auction strategy show, which makes sense because we could

0:13:13.160 --> 0:13:14.960
<v Speaker 1>pick his brain and help the audience, but it also

0:13:15.160 --> 0:13:17.920
<v Speaker 1>will help us in the auction because you know, we

0:13:18.000 --> 0:13:19.280
<v Speaker 1>want to be like I and Con we want to

0:13:19.280 --> 0:13:22.400
<v Speaker 1>be winners. Yes, next week, by the way, Starr started

0:13:22.440 --> 0:13:26.600
<v Speaker 1>lineup Give It without Greg Sussman in next week confirmed,

0:13:26.840 --> 0:13:31.679
<v Speaker 1>I have Matt Modica on Monday Skype. He's gonna be here.

0:13:31.800 --> 0:13:33.200
<v Speaker 1>I want to talk. I really want to talk about

0:13:33.240 --> 0:13:36.679
<v Speaker 1>the first round with with Modica a lot um and

0:13:36.760 --> 0:13:39.160
<v Speaker 1>talk about I'm gonna listen, listen. I'm going to listen

0:13:39.200 --> 0:13:40.960
<v Speaker 1>to that, so I'm gonna have critiques that I might

0:13:41.040 --> 0:13:43.839
<v Speaker 1>text you whenever I listened to it. I'm gonna I

0:13:43.920 --> 0:13:46.199
<v Speaker 1>don't want to promise, I'm gonna listen. Live, but I

0:13:46.240 --> 0:13:48.719
<v Speaker 1>will be listening or watching at some point. Yeah. So

0:13:49.240 --> 0:13:52.240
<v Speaker 1>Modica plays a lot on NFBC. He does a lot

0:13:52.280 --> 0:13:54.800
<v Speaker 1>of high stakes drafts, and on NFBC they have this

0:13:54.920 --> 0:13:58.280
<v Speaker 1>thing called k d s. It's Kentucky Derby style. You

0:13:58.400 --> 0:14:02.120
<v Speaker 1>basically put an order all fifteen picks in what order

0:14:02.160 --> 0:14:04.439
<v Speaker 1>you want them, and then that's how the order is

0:14:04.520 --> 0:14:08.360
<v Speaker 1>generated based on who has what pick highest. So that's

0:14:08.440 --> 0:14:10.920
<v Speaker 1>kind of a strategy I'll get into. Yeah, I'll get

0:14:10.960 --> 0:14:14.160
<v Speaker 1>into with Modica. I'll go through the first round. Which

0:14:14.200 --> 0:14:16.240
<v Speaker 1>pick looks like the bestest here or what range looks

0:14:16.240 --> 0:14:18.319
<v Speaker 1>like the best is yere? I got Chris Venture coming

0:14:18.400 --> 0:14:20.760
<v Speaker 1>up here next next week one day. I know he's

0:14:20.760 --> 0:14:24.320
<v Speaker 1>been dying to talk a little bit baseball, his early

0:14:24.760 --> 0:14:27.560
<v Speaker 1>sleeper breakout first Basement. Josh Bell could talk to him

0:14:27.560 --> 0:14:29.120
<v Speaker 1>about that. I know who he plays a lot in

0:14:29.200 --> 0:14:32.520
<v Speaker 1>Points League, so maybe that show will be more geared

0:14:32.560 --> 0:14:36.440
<v Speaker 1>towards Points League strategy. I'm looking at hitters who don't

0:14:36.440 --> 0:14:37.840
<v Speaker 1>strike out as much. We have good O, B P

0:14:38.000 --> 0:14:39.800
<v Speaker 1>and walk a lot. I know that's why he likes

0:14:39.880 --> 0:14:42.360
<v Speaker 1>Josh Bell. I also have Ian Conn on Wednesday coming

0:14:42.360 --> 0:14:44.640
<v Speaker 1>in to talk about his dynasty rankings. So we're going

0:14:44.680 --> 0:14:47.840
<v Speaker 1>to Dynasty Keeper a little bit. We'll talk about, you know,

0:14:47.920 --> 0:14:49.920
<v Speaker 1>how should you draft if you're in a startup dynasty,

0:14:49.920 --> 0:14:52.120
<v Speaker 1>because I feel like that's a question people have areat question.

0:14:52.320 --> 0:14:55.160
<v Speaker 1>And then I also have Andy Singleton coming in of

0:14:55.640 --> 0:14:58.960
<v Speaker 1>raz Ball. He also does the Fantasy Baseball Show. He

0:14:58.960 --> 0:15:01.520
<v Speaker 1>does great work with pro Spake Jesus Um. So we'll

0:15:01.560 --> 0:15:03.760
<v Speaker 1>have him in either Thursday or Friday. I haven't figured

0:15:03.800 --> 0:15:06.880
<v Speaker 1>out which day yet. Um and I could talk anything

0:15:06.920 --> 0:15:09.120
<v Speaker 1>with him. I could talk prospects, I could talk you know,

0:15:09.360 --> 0:15:12.280
<v Speaker 1>breakouts for this year, whatever's on his mind. So it's

0:15:12.320 --> 0:15:14.320
<v Speaker 1>gonna be a fun week next week. I haven't found

0:15:14.360 --> 0:15:16.280
<v Speaker 1>the guests yet for the fifth day. I'm trying to

0:15:16.320 --> 0:15:18.880
<v Speaker 1>make it someone special. I'll figure it out. Absolutely, it's

0:15:18.880 --> 0:15:22.320
<v Speaker 1>gonna be a really really fun week without me. I'm honestly,

0:15:22.720 --> 0:15:24.520
<v Speaker 1>I'm happy to be going away and visiting my mom

0:15:24.600 --> 0:15:26.800
<v Speaker 1>in Florida, so like I'm happy to go away and

0:15:27.000 --> 0:15:28.720
<v Speaker 1>get away for a few days and not be sick. Obviously,

0:15:28.760 --> 0:15:32.240
<v Speaker 1>it was out what's her mom's name, Leslie? Leslie? I

0:15:32.360 --> 0:15:36.040
<v Speaker 1>was out a few weeks ago, which stunk. But I

0:15:36.120 --> 0:15:41.480
<v Speaker 1>know your dad's name is Rob sockster man Leslie, I

0:15:41.480 --> 0:15:45.160
<v Speaker 1>didn't know Weslie. Yeah, you don't know Leslie. Yeah. So anyway, um,

0:15:45.360 --> 0:15:46.960
<v Speaker 1>I mean hanging out with her, and I was super

0:15:47.000 --> 0:15:48.760
<v Speaker 1>excited to go away and I was super excited to

0:15:48.880 --> 0:15:50.520
<v Speaker 1>just get a break in. The football season is over

0:15:50.640 --> 0:15:53.000
<v Speaker 1>and right in the middle of basketball season during the

0:15:53.000 --> 0:15:56.800
<v Speaker 1>All Star break. But I'm excited about baseball, man, I

0:15:57.240 --> 0:15:59.200
<v Speaker 1>really really am, and like it hasn't hit the spot

0:15:59.240 --> 0:16:01.920
<v Speaker 1>where like in Jet July, I'm just like I'm doneing baseball.

0:16:02.440 --> 0:16:04.440
<v Speaker 1>Um not last year. Last year I was in the

0:16:04.560 --> 0:16:08.720
<v Speaker 1>whole way. But I'm pump man. I'm really excited to

0:16:08.760 --> 0:16:10.640
<v Speaker 1>talk about it because it's the best time of the year.

0:16:10.640 --> 0:16:12.680
<v Speaker 1>Everyone in the best time of the year. Everybody loves

0:16:12.720 --> 0:16:15.200
<v Speaker 1>to draft. And that's why you know, I've been I

0:16:15.360 --> 0:16:16.960
<v Speaker 1>want to make sure that I'm doing a best ball

0:16:17.080 --> 0:16:19.720
<v Speaker 1>draft at all times throughout the draft season, just like

0:16:20.040 --> 0:16:22.160
<v Speaker 1>change where people are changing and where people are going,

0:16:22.360 --> 0:16:24.400
<v Speaker 1>and not only ten dollar draft. So it's honestly like

0:16:24.520 --> 0:16:26.840
<v Speaker 1>good practice too. That's like see what's going on to

0:16:27.040 --> 0:16:29.000
<v Speaker 1>to prep yourself for your home league, which might be

0:16:29.160 --> 0:16:31.520
<v Speaker 1>you know, a bigger, higher stakes draft or if you

0:16:31.560 --> 0:16:33.840
<v Speaker 1>play in the NFBC or you know, if you have

0:16:33.920 --> 0:16:35.280
<v Speaker 1>a big auction that you need to do and you

0:16:35.320 --> 0:16:38.000
<v Speaker 1>want to kind of get a feel for how people

0:16:38.240 --> 0:16:40.840
<v Speaker 1>are valuing certain players. I'm going to continue to do

0:16:40.960 --> 0:16:44.480
<v Speaker 1>Bestball drafts throughout the draft season just to get an

0:16:44.520 --> 0:16:47.480
<v Speaker 1>idea of where things are going. I know a good

0:16:47.600 --> 0:16:50.840
<v Speaker 1>a good buddy of the program. He's been along. He's

0:16:50.840 --> 0:16:52.600

<v Speaker 1>eight six six four eight four ninety six twenty one

0:19:00.000 --> 0:19:04.640
<v Speaker 1>out fantasy sports. I think real baseball and fantasy baseball

0:19:04.760 --> 0:19:07.840
<v Speaker 1>are very different. Jim Bowden maybe a brilliant general manager,

0:19:07.920 --> 0:19:09.840
<v Speaker 1>but he struggles in fantasy baseball. A lot of people

0:19:09.920 --> 0:19:11.560
<v Speaker 1>know the players, they can break it down and they

0:19:11.560 --> 0:19:13.159
<v Speaker 1>can tell you everything, but that's only part of it.

0:19:13.240 --> 0:19:14.959
<v Speaker 1>Part of this is roster construction, and I think that's

0:19:15.000 --> 0:19:16.960
<v Speaker 1>where a lot of people failed. Whether they're taking their

0:19:16.960 --> 0:19:19.600
<v Speaker 1>favorite guys, they're taking their sleepers, and they're not looking

0:19:19.680 --> 0:19:21.639
<v Speaker 1>at where they stand in the categories. That's the most

0:19:21.680 --> 0:19:24.200
<v Speaker 1>important part. Weekdays to the four BM Eastern on the

0:19:24.240 --> 0:19:41.680
<v Speaker 1>Fantasy Sports Network and on your popular podcast providers going

0:19:41.840 --> 0:19:50.320

<v Speaker 1>give your schedule, and we're kind of giving you a

0:19:55.640 --> 0:19:57.840
<v Speaker 1>whole overview of what we like and what we want

0:19:57.880 --> 0:20:01.639
<v Speaker 1>to do for baseball season. Now talk about some players.

0:20:01.680 --> 0:20:04.200
<v Speaker 1>Can you moonwalk Gregg you get to Michael Jackson. I

0:20:04.280 --> 0:20:06.560
<v Speaker 1>know you've tried. You've definitely tried. It's funny that you

0:20:06.640 --> 0:20:08.960
<v Speaker 1>said that because it's a big controversy right now. You

0:20:09.000 --> 0:20:10.960
<v Speaker 1>have no idea what we're talking about. Obviously you don't

0:20:10.960 --> 0:20:14.159
<v Speaker 1>watch the news, but like I'm gonna say it like that,

0:20:15.760 --> 0:20:19.240
<v Speaker 1>but the big thing going on, Donald Trump like tried

0:20:19.280 --> 0:20:21.840
<v Speaker 1>to moonwalkers, not really Donald Trump is the governor of Virginia.

0:20:22.119 --> 0:20:24.760
<v Speaker 1>Just dude, Ralph Northam. It came out that in his

0:20:25.000 --> 0:20:28.320
<v Speaker 1>med school yearbook he was in a picture like on

0:20:28.520 --> 0:20:30.720
<v Speaker 1>his page on like the Ralph Northron page in the yearbook.

0:20:31.080 --> 0:20:33.639
<v Speaker 1>It was a picture of him and somebody else in

0:20:33.800 --> 0:20:37.720
<v Speaker 1>black face and in a KKK outfit. So that's not great.

0:20:37.840 --> 0:20:40.679
<v Speaker 1>So he came out. He came out on last Friday.

0:20:40.720 --> 0:20:41.920
<v Speaker 1>I was like, yeah, that that that was me in

0:20:41.960 --> 0:20:43.879
<v Speaker 1>the picture. I regrettabla blah blah blah. And then on

0:20:44.000 --> 0:20:45.879
<v Speaker 1>Saturday he's like, no, that wasn't me the picture. That

0:20:45.960 --> 0:20:48.159
<v Speaker 1>was like a wrong picture. And they're like what, but

0:20:48.280 --> 0:20:52.000
<v Speaker 1>I wasn't blackface in San Antonio in four and they're

0:20:52.000 --> 0:20:54.560
<v Speaker 1>just like what. So yeah, I tried to just up

0:20:54.560 --> 0:20:57.240
<v Speaker 1>like Michael Jackson's what I'm getting to. I was about saying, like,

0:20:57.320 --> 0:20:59.680
<v Speaker 1>this is a really really long way of you telling

0:20:59.760 --> 0:21:02.480
<v Speaker 1>me whether or not you can moonwalk. That was the

0:21:02.520 --> 0:21:04.680
<v Speaker 1>original question. Sorry, I'm just telling you this. So the

0:21:04.720 --> 0:21:06.880
<v Speaker 1>point was right. So yeah, I just it was Michael Jackson.

0:21:06.960 --> 0:21:09.800
<v Speaker 1>I moonwalked. So someone in the crowd goes, can you

0:21:09.920 --> 0:21:13.159
<v Speaker 1>still moonwalk? You mean one it's a massive press conference

0:21:13.240 --> 0:21:15.399
<v Speaker 1>or the governor of Virginia dressing up as in black

0:21:15.480 --> 0:21:18.919
<v Speaker 1>face and can you still moonwalk? And the dude smiles

0:21:18.960 --> 0:21:21.359
<v Speaker 1>and he's about to do it, and his wife's like,

0:21:21.840 --> 0:21:23.840
<v Speaker 1>what are you doing? What are you doing? He's like, oh,

0:21:23.880 --> 0:21:25.639
<v Speaker 1>my wife's telling me it's inappropriate to do it right now.

0:21:26.480 --> 0:21:28.800
<v Speaker 1>I just like, how are you still the governor of

0:21:28.880 --> 0:21:33.959
<v Speaker 1>the state? Where is that? Virginia? So since then, by

0:21:33.960 --> 0:21:37.000
<v Speaker 1>the way, the Attorney General Virginia came out today, it

0:21:37.080 --> 0:21:38.520
<v Speaker 1>was like, yeah, I just have black face. Back in

0:21:38.560 --> 0:21:41.760
<v Speaker 1>the day, I was like the lieutenant governor. I was

0:21:41.800 --> 0:21:44.119
<v Speaker 1>accused of sexual assault. So things going really well in

0:21:44.200 --> 0:21:46.480
<v Speaker 1>Virginia at the moment. You know, I just didn't even

0:21:46.520 --> 0:21:49.000
<v Speaker 1>realize that I was doing it, But I just did

0:21:49.080 --> 0:21:52.679
<v Speaker 1>the gift of the guy like that one and exactly

0:21:52.720 --> 0:21:56.440
<v Speaker 1>youre talking about. We're talking about so can you moonwalk? Craig?

0:21:57.080 --> 0:21:59.639
<v Speaker 1>You know what, you avoided the question, right, So no,

0:22:00.160 --> 0:22:01.840
<v Speaker 1>not really, but I got yes. Of course I've tried.

0:22:01.920 --> 0:22:04.760
<v Speaker 1>Everyone's tried to moonwalk. I felt like I could do

0:22:04.840 --> 0:22:07.000
<v Speaker 1>when I was younger. I'm not gonna try. You want

0:22:07.040 --> 0:22:09.359
<v Speaker 1>to try. I want to give the people don't know.

0:22:09.520 --> 0:22:12.920
<v Speaker 1>We tried to very poorly didn't go very well. So

0:22:13.040 --> 0:22:14.560
<v Speaker 1>since the next thing, you know will be a gift,

0:22:14.960 --> 0:22:19.960
<v Speaker 1>a gift or a meme picture of Coreyann check out

0:22:20.000 --> 0:22:24.000
<v Speaker 1>Frank Staffele's Twitter for that picture. I don't want you

0:22:24.040 --> 0:22:25.879
<v Speaker 1>to charge whoever you I want to. I want to

0:22:25.920 --> 0:22:28.320
<v Speaker 1>just I wanted to start higher than Charlie Morton. As

0:22:28.359 --> 0:22:31.960
<v Speaker 1>I said last year, I drafted um in the eleventh

0:22:32.160 --> 0:22:35.480
<v Speaker 1>or twelve fish round. I drafted Patrick Corbyn because he

0:22:35.640 --> 0:22:38.040
<v Speaker 1>was your guy last year. You're very high on Patrick

0:22:38.080 --> 0:22:40.200
<v Speaker 1>Corban and the way I did on this particular team

0:22:40.200 --> 0:22:42.159
<v Speaker 1>that I'm thinking about is that draft that Florio's guy

0:22:42.200 --> 0:22:44.040
<v Speaker 1>and Blake Snell, and then I drafted your guy and

0:22:44.119 --> 0:22:47.920
<v Speaker 1>Patrick Corbyn. And you know, honesty, Frankie, you couldn't have

0:22:48.040 --> 0:22:50.280
<v Speaker 1>been more right when it came to Patrick Corbyn. Yeah,

0:22:50.440 --> 0:22:52.680
<v Speaker 1>obviously we all get things wrong, but like Corbyn was

0:22:52.720 --> 0:22:54.159
<v Speaker 1>one of the guys who were very very high on

0:22:54.280 --> 0:22:57.080
<v Speaker 1>last year. UM, you sold me on multiple guys last year.

0:22:57.119 --> 0:22:59.800
<v Speaker 1>Sold me Di Castianos also that you didn't draft him. Um.

0:23:01.080 --> 0:23:04.280
<v Speaker 1>But Patrick Corbyn obviously fantastic last year, turned it into

0:23:04.320 --> 0:23:07.800
<v Speaker 1>a big time contract with the Washington Nationals this offseason.

0:23:07.840 --> 0:23:10.160
<v Speaker 1>I'll read you the stats for Corvin eleven and seven

0:23:10.320 --> 0:23:12.600
<v Speaker 1>with a three point one five E right if you're

0:23:12.600 --> 0:23:15.040
<v Speaker 1>a fipp in the next FIP guy, it was less

0:23:15.080 --> 0:23:17.480
<v Speaker 1>than even that three point one five r right two

0:23:17.560 --> 0:23:20.480
<v Speaker 1>point four seven five two point six one x fhip.

0:23:20.800 --> 0:23:23.960
<v Speaker 1>What changed, well, his K per nine was way better

0:23:24.040 --> 0:23:27.240
<v Speaker 1>than ever, with an over eleven K per nine. The

0:23:27.359 --> 0:23:30.800
<v Speaker 1>next highest in his career in the major leagues was

0:23:30.880 --> 0:23:32.960
<v Speaker 1>a year before at eight point four five. Now, it

0:23:33.000 --> 0:23:36.680
<v Speaker 1>had been getting better pretty consistently, but nothing like that.

0:23:37.320 --> 0:23:41.080
<v Speaker 1>The walk rate, while it was fantastic two point one six.

0:23:41.400 --> 0:23:43.560
<v Speaker 1>The best previously in his career was one point eight. Oh,

0:23:44.040 --> 0:23:46.639
<v Speaker 1>but that was a shortened season. Last year is in

0:23:46.720 --> 0:23:50.200
<v Speaker 1>a full season. Two point one six was the walk rate.

0:23:50.520 --> 0:23:53.960
<v Speaker 1>Home run per nine way down at zero point six eight.

0:23:54.240 --> 0:23:57.320
<v Speaker 1>The babbit certainly less than ever, but not like a

0:23:57.440 --> 0:24:00.960
<v Speaker 1>crazy batman. Babbitt was still over three hundred. Yes, it

0:24:01.040 --> 0:24:04.120
<v Speaker 1>was less than um any time his career um ever,

0:24:04.600 --> 0:24:07.880
<v Speaker 1>but still not a crazy wild babit. Let my base presentage,

0:24:09.160 --> 0:24:11.680
<v Speaker 1>not crazy whole run a fly ball ratio. He's a

0:24:11.680 --> 0:24:15.080
<v Speaker 1>big number for you, less than ever at eleven percent.

0:24:15.880 --> 0:24:19.200
<v Speaker 1>Patrick Corbyn was phenomenal last year, but Frank, as you

0:24:19.320 --> 0:24:21.520
<v Speaker 1>like to point out, we don't care about last year.

0:24:21.560 --> 0:24:25.119
<v Speaker 1>We care about projecting this year and beyond. What do

0:24:25.200 --> 0:24:28.080
<v Speaker 1>you think about Patrick Corban in nineteen? Where is he going?

0:24:28.160 --> 0:24:30.399
<v Speaker 1>What does everybody think? And most importantly to me, what

0:24:30.520 --> 0:24:33.720
<v Speaker 1>do you think so Patrick corbyan people are buying in

0:24:34.080 --> 0:24:36.639
<v Speaker 1>and you have to pay a pretty penny to to

0:24:36.720 --> 0:24:38.600
<v Speaker 1>be in on Patrick Corban this year with an ADP

0:24:38.720 --> 0:24:41.960
<v Speaker 1>of fifty point zero nine. Some other starting pitchers that

0:24:42.000 --> 0:24:47.120
<v Speaker 1>are going just behind him include James Paxton, Jamison Tyne,

0:24:47.520 --> 0:24:51.760
<v Speaker 1>Steven Strassburg, Mike Clevinger, Zak Ranky, Jack Flaherty. Those are

0:24:52.160 --> 0:24:54.800
<v Speaker 1>the five six that are going right behind Patrick Corban.

0:24:55.000 --> 0:24:57.080
<v Speaker 1>Seems like, just just judging what you said, it seems

0:24:57.080 --> 0:24:59.399
<v Speaker 1>like the right spot to be fair. Yeah, based on

0:24:59.440 --> 0:25:01.880
<v Speaker 1>how he perfor one last year. And look, he's going

0:25:02.480 --> 0:25:05.200
<v Speaker 1>to a better park. He's going to Washington. It's a

0:25:05.280 --> 0:25:08.920
<v Speaker 1>better Pictures park. Even last year the park factors or

0:25:09.119 --> 0:25:12.359
<v Speaker 1>Chase Field, I mean, there were more runs, there were

0:25:12.440 --> 0:25:14.840
<v Speaker 1>more home runs there. Uh. He doesn't have to pitch

0:25:14.880 --> 0:25:16.920
<v Speaker 1>in Colorado anymore a couple of times per year. He

0:25:16.920 --> 0:25:19.600
<v Speaker 1>doesn't have to pitch against the Rockies anymore. He's moving

0:25:19.680 --> 0:25:22.400
<v Speaker 1>over to Washington and the N East where he's gonna

0:25:22.400 --> 0:25:24.399
<v Speaker 1>get to face to Miami Marlins. He pitches in a

0:25:24.440 --> 0:25:27.080
<v Speaker 1>better ballpark. He's gonna get to face the Mets, which

0:25:27.359 --> 0:25:30.000
<v Speaker 1>they've completely revamped their lineup. I don't know that their

0:25:30.359 --> 0:25:33.720
<v Speaker 1>murderers row by any means um. The Phillies have a

0:25:33.840 --> 0:25:36.280
<v Speaker 1>very good lineup um, and then the Braves have a

0:25:36.320 --> 0:25:38.880
<v Speaker 1>pretty good lineup as well. So it's a little bit

0:25:39.600 --> 0:25:41.520
<v Speaker 1>hot and cold they're pitching in in the N E East.

0:25:41.560 --> 0:25:43.480
<v Speaker 1>I like the ballpark, you get the Marlins, you get

0:25:43.480 --> 0:25:45.040
<v Speaker 1>the Mets, but you also do have to pitch against

0:25:45.080 --> 0:25:47.040
<v Speaker 1>the Braves and the Phillies, which I don't really like

0:25:47.400 --> 0:25:51.440
<v Speaker 1>all of that much. Patrick Corbyn last year basically developed

0:25:51.520 --> 0:25:55.560
<v Speaker 1>a slider which was otherworldly in terms of like picture

0:25:55.800 --> 0:25:59.840
<v Speaker 1>pitch values fan crafts. Fan Grafts has this thing pitch

0:26:00.040 --> 0:26:03.720
<v Speaker 1>values UM, where they basically wait how great a pitch

0:26:03.960 --> 0:26:06.879
<v Speaker 1>was for I mean they taken to as many factors

0:26:06.920 --> 0:26:09.159
<v Speaker 1>as you can think of. You know, how many whiffs

0:26:09.200 --> 0:26:12.280
<v Speaker 1>you get, how effective the pitches in terms of batting

0:26:12.320 --> 0:26:17.520
<v Speaker 1>average against, slugging percentage, isolated power. According to them, his

0:26:17.600 --> 0:26:20.000
<v Speaker 1>slider was the fourth best pitch in all of baseball

0:26:20.080 --> 0:26:23.440
<v Speaker 1>last year among starting pitchers, it was the it was

0:26:23.560 --> 0:26:26.000
<v Speaker 1>the best. It was the second best slider in all

0:26:26.040 --> 0:26:31.600
<v Speaker 1>of baseball, behind only Max Scherzer. My problem with this

0:26:31.800 --> 0:26:35.680
<v Speaker 1>slider is he did throw it more. He threw it

0:26:35.720 --> 0:26:39.880
<v Speaker 1>about three percent more than a year before. He threw

0:26:39.960 --> 0:26:42.840
<v Speaker 1>the pitchty eight percent of the time. Last year he

0:26:42.920 --> 0:26:47.359
<v Speaker 1>threw the pitch forty one percent of the time. But

0:26:47.520 --> 0:26:49.800
<v Speaker 1>the thing is, if you look even deeper, and what

0:26:49.920 --> 0:26:53.359
<v Speaker 1>I've read about it is that it didn't change that

0:26:53.880 --> 0:26:58.360
<v Speaker 1>drastically the pitch itself in terms of how much movement

0:26:58.440 --> 0:27:00.800
<v Speaker 1>it had, in terms of veloc at e. How much

0:27:00.880 --> 0:27:03.359
<v Speaker 1>depth he was getting on the pitch the pitch, so

0:27:03.480 --> 0:27:05.200
<v Speaker 1>it didn't move all that much and only threw it

0:27:05.200 --> 0:27:07.520
<v Speaker 1>about three four percent more than the year of four.

0:27:08.320 --> 0:27:13.920
<v Speaker 1>Yet his results were drastically drastically different. So that gives

0:27:13.960 --> 0:27:16.920
<v Speaker 1>me a little bit of concern there, because buying in

0:27:17.040 --> 0:27:20.520
<v Speaker 1>on that pitch, if it if by all like means

0:27:20.840 --> 0:27:25.200
<v Speaker 1>it didn't change all that much. Why are we trusting it?

0:27:25.520 --> 0:27:28.160
<v Speaker 1>So I could be an anomaly? No, so I don't

0:27:28.200 --> 0:27:30.080
<v Speaker 1>think so. Like to me, when you tell me that

0:27:30.359 --> 0:27:32.520
<v Speaker 1>and you give me that stat I don't think it's

0:27:32.520 --> 0:27:35.000
<v Speaker 1>an anomaly because I was looking at his game logs

0:27:35.560 --> 0:27:37.840
<v Speaker 1>and yeah, yeah, I mean he had a slump in May,

0:27:38.000 --> 0:27:42.159
<v Speaker 1>but like it was pretty consistent throughout the year. What

0:27:42.280 --> 0:27:45.120
<v Speaker 1>I'm wondering is, Frank, just as Patrick Corby has gotten older,

0:27:45.880 --> 0:27:48.920
<v Speaker 1>maybe the pitch selection just got better. Maybe he was

0:27:49.040 --> 0:27:52.159
<v Speaker 1>able to hide it a bit more. Maybe he was

0:27:52.240 --> 0:27:54.640
<v Speaker 1>able to just learn how to pitch and understand when

0:27:54.720 --> 0:27:57.679
<v Speaker 1>to use the slider more. He used it only three

0:27:57.760 --> 0:27:59.879
<v Speaker 1>or four percent more, but like when to use it

0:28:00.240 --> 0:28:03.879
<v Speaker 1>rather than kind of just throwing it Whenever I see this,

0:28:04.040 --> 0:28:05.960
<v Speaker 1>what you're telling me as a sign of a maturing

0:28:06.040 --> 0:28:08.760
<v Speaker 1>picture and a guy that maybe has just figured out

0:28:08.920 --> 0:28:12.600
<v Speaker 1>how to pitch a little bit. That could definitely be

0:28:12.680 --> 0:28:14.840
<v Speaker 1>the case. And look, the underlying factors are like the

0:28:14.960 --> 0:28:17.080
<v Speaker 1>skills I'm telling you downstairs. When I was looking into

0:28:17.280 --> 0:28:20.040
<v Speaker 1>Patrick Corbin today, there was a lot to like. Yeah,

0:28:21.080 --> 0:28:23.520
<v Speaker 1>when we referenced FHIP and x fit, these are eer

0:28:23.600 --> 0:28:27.240
<v Speaker 1>A indicators which take into account so it means so,

0:28:27.440 --> 0:28:31.600
<v Speaker 1>so what does it mean FHIP is feeling independent pitching?

0:28:32.840 --> 0:28:35.240
<v Speaker 1>What and what difference between HIP and x fit. So

0:28:35.320 --> 0:28:38.480
<v Speaker 1>the difference between PHIP and x fit is basically it

0:28:39.080 --> 0:28:42.800
<v Speaker 1>takes out defense as a factor. It's basically a weighted

0:28:42.840 --> 0:28:46.680
<v Speaker 1>scale like what your EERA should be if your defense

0:28:47.480 --> 0:28:51.120
<v Speaker 1>was league average or and that's what makes it lower

0:28:51.200 --> 0:28:54.160
<v Speaker 1>or higher than your earing. It tries to take fielding

0:28:55.080 --> 0:28:58.120
<v Speaker 1>as a variable out of the r A. It tells

0:28:58.120 --> 0:28:59.880
<v Speaker 1>you what your EARA should be like fielding were in

0:28:59.920 --> 0:29:07.120
<v Speaker 1>a variable and XFIT basically does. It creates your ear

0:29:07.160 --> 0:29:10.200
<v Speaker 1>A what your ear A should be based on a

0:29:10.440 --> 0:29:16.040
<v Speaker 1>league average home run to flyball ratio, So taking kind

0:29:16.080 --> 0:29:18.800
<v Speaker 1>of I guess luck or luck or unluckiness out of

0:29:18.840 --> 0:29:21.480
<v Speaker 1>the equation when it's when it comes to how many

0:29:21.520 --> 0:29:23.280
<v Speaker 1>home runs you gave up, and that's why you'll hear

0:29:23.280 --> 0:29:25.640
<v Speaker 1>a guy like Massa Heiro Tanaka might have a four

0:29:25.760 --> 0:29:27.360
<v Speaker 1>e ar A and his x FIT is going to

0:29:27.400 --> 0:29:30.520
<v Speaker 1>be like three point two because his home run the

0:29:30.560 --> 0:29:32.840
<v Speaker 1>flyball ratio is much higher than everyone else because he

0:29:32.880 --> 0:29:34.840
<v Speaker 1>pitches in the Yankee city, right, So it tries to

0:29:35.000 --> 0:29:38.800
<v Speaker 1>take some of these things which are not really controlled

0:29:38.840 --> 0:29:41.640
<v Speaker 1>by the picture, like the defense behind them or basically

0:29:41.760 --> 0:29:44.320
<v Speaker 1>where they pitch and how many home runs they're allowing

0:29:44.360 --> 0:29:46.400
<v Speaker 1>their home run the flyball ratio. It kind of it

0:29:46.480 --> 0:29:49.959
<v Speaker 1>takes those things out as variables and tells you how

0:29:50.040 --> 0:29:54.440
<v Speaker 1>lucky or unlucky picture was. What do you like? I

0:29:54.520 --> 0:29:56.920
<v Speaker 1>use a combination of everything because I don't you know,

0:29:57.280 --> 0:29:58.800
<v Speaker 1>I know more. Dickie used to come on and say

0:29:58.840 --> 0:30:02.880
<v Speaker 1>he liked ex fit more, right, So you know I'd

0:30:02.920 --> 0:30:05.520
<v Speaker 1>like to take There's fifth, there's x FI, there's SIERRA,

0:30:05.680 --> 0:30:08.880
<v Speaker 1>which is skill interactive e r A, which takes more

0:30:09.040 --> 0:30:12.680
<v Speaker 1>into account, uh, the skill of your of specific pitches

0:30:12.720 --> 0:30:14.800
<v Speaker 1>and stuff. So like you could take all these different

0:30:14.880 --> 0:30:17.000
<v Speaker 1>e r A indicators, and you know, I'll use all

0:30:17.000 --> 0:30:18.440
<v Speaker 1>of them. I'm not just gonna use one of them.

0:30:18.760 --> 0:30:20.400
<v Speaker 1>You know, there's one whole weight more than the other.

0:30:20.520 --> 0:30:22.120
<v Speaker 1>Like it depends who you ask. You could ask ten

0:30:22.160 --> 0:30:24.800
<v Speaker 1>people and get ten ten different answers. So I try

0:30:24.840 --> 0:30:27.600
<v Speaker 1>and use as many of these, you know, e r

0:30:27.640 --> 0:30:29.640
<v Speaker 1>A indicators as I possibly can. So I'm gonna look

0:30:29.680 --> 0:30:31.960
<v Speaker 1>at FIP X, FIP Sierra, and then I'm also gonna

0:30:31.960 --> 0:30:33.320
<v Speaker 1>look at the r A and kind of see how

0:30:33.400 --> 0:30:37.080
<v Speaker 1>they compare. Just because pictures FIP or x fit is

0:30:37.200 --> 0:30:40.480
<v Speaker 1>lower all the time doesn't mean that the e r

0:30:40.520 --> 0:30:42.720
<v Speaker 1>A is ever gonna get there either. Look at a

0:30:42.720 --> 0:30:45.080
<v Speaker 1>guy like Chris Archer, right as good as everyone wants

0:30:45.120 --> 0:30:46.960
<v Speaker 1>Chris Archer to be and you might have this image

0:30:47.000 --> 0:30:49.480
<v Speaker 1>in your head of Chris Archer being awesome. The past

0:30:49.480 --> 0:30:50.920
<v Speaker 1>two or three years, his ear A has been over

0:30:51.040 --> 0:30:54.080
<v Speaker 1>four every single season is fipping. His x FIP are

0:30:54.200 --> 0:30:57.160
<v Speaker 1>much lower than his r A. That reminds me. That

0:30:57.280 --> 0:31:02.960
<v Speaker 1>reminds me of John Gray stipping. If people remember, I

0:31:03.000 --> 0:31:05.360
<v Speaker 1>mean me and Florio that that was probably one of

0:31:05.400 --> 0:31:08.360
<v Speaker 1>the most polarizing players him and Joann Makata. Remember we

0:31:08.400 --> 0:31:11.080
<v Speaker 1>got into like shouting matches last year over John Gray

0:31:11.120 --> 0:31:13.800
<v Speaker 1>and Joan Moncada. John Gray, I mean, yeah, he'd be

0:31:13.840 --> 0:31:15.320
<v Speaker 1>great if you pitched in the next FIP league, But

0:31:15.440 --> 0:31:17.920
<v Speaker 1>he pitches in coors Field, so at some point changing,

0:31:18.240 --> 0:31:20.240
<v Speaker 1>At some point you gotta kind of like take the

0:31:20.320 --> 0:31:22.520
<v Speaker 1>sample for what it is. Like if it's happened for

0:31:22.680 --> 0:31:24.880
<v Speaker 1>three or four years out of his career, it's more

0:31:24.920 --> 0:31:28.600
<v Speaker 1>of a trend something that you should trust. But anyway, digress,

0:31:28.720 --> 0:31:30.120
<v Speaker 1>just trying to get into like FIP and next FIP.

0:31:30.520 --> 0:31:32.920
<v Speaker 1>Patrick Corban's ear A last here was three point one five.

0:31:33.080 --> 0:31:35.760
<v Speaker 1>He was very, very good. He was a cy young candidate.

0:31:35.840 --> 0:31:39.120
<v Speaker 1>He was amazing. It's two hundred forty strikeouts, two six

0:31:39.120 --> 0:31:42.160
<v Speaker 1>strikeouts and two and he's pitched. His FIP was two

0:31:42.240 --> 0:31:45.800
<v Speaker 1>point four seven, his x FIT was two point six one.

0:31:46.680 --> 0:31:50.160
<v Speaker 1>So based on variables that might be out of Patrick

0:31:50.200 --> 0:31:52.760
<v Speaker 1>Corbyn's control, his ear RA should have been even better

0:31:53.240 --> 0:31:55.480
<v Speaker 1>than what it was. There's a lot of good and bad.

0:31:55.560 --> 0:31:58.680
<v Speaker 1>I mean, his caper nine over eleven last year, his

0:31:58.880 --> 0:32:01.040
<v Speaker 1>walks two point one six, one of the best marks

0:32:01.080 --> 0:32:03.400
<v Speaker 1>of his career. Those numbers, Greg, they got even better

0:32:03.520 --> 0:32:05.840
<v Speaker 1>in the second half. His his caper nine in the

0:32:05.880 --> 0:32:08.040
<v Speaker 1>second half went up two, I believe in the first

0:32:08.040 --> 0:32:09.440
<v Speaker 1>half it was right around ten. In the second half

0:32:09.560 --> 0:32:11.120
<v Speaker 1>was like eleven and a half, and his walks for

0:32:11.240 --> 0:32:13.800
<v Speaker 1>nine were under two. He was phenomenal and he and

0:32:13.880 --> 0:32:17.400
<v Speaker 1>he's still got you know, forty eight percent groundballs. One

0:32:17.440 --> 0:32:19.120
<v Speaker 1>of the things you do have to worry about. His

0:32:19.200 --> 0:32:22.000
<v Speaker 1>hard hit rate or you one point seven percent last year,

0:32:22.280 --> 0:32:24.880
<v Speaker 1>so he's giving up a lot of hard contact. It

0:32:24.960 --> 0:32:27.400
<v Speaker 1>was the second most along starting pitchers last season, behind

0:32:27.400 --> 0:32:30.240
<v Speaker 1>only Cole Handles. You don't really afew Cole Hamiles is

0:32:30.440 --> 0:32:31.840
<v Speaker 1>like one of the best starting pitchers in the league.

0:32:31.840 --> 0:32:34.520
<v Speaker 1>Anymore so if your hard hit rate is you know,

0:32:34.680 --> 0:32:37.080
<v Speaker 1>ranging up there amongst some of the highest in the

0:32:37.160 --> 0:32:39.440
<v Speaker 1>league with a guy like Cole Hamiles. I mean, you

0:32:39.560 --> 0:32:42.000
<v Speaker 1>gotta take all these things into account, like you have

0:32:42.120 --> 0:32:44.480
<v Speaker 1>to pay a fourth fifth round price tech for Patrick

0:32:44.520 --> 0:32:46.720
<v Speaker 1>Corban is here. You want to know, am I gonna

0:32:47.160 --> 0:32:48.680
<v Speaker 1>get the picture of who pitch last year? Am I

0:32:48.680 --> 0:32:50.800
<v Speaker 1>gonna get anything close to it? Something else that jumps

0:32:50.800 --> 0:32:53.520
<v Speaker 1>off the screen to me? Greg the fastball velocity nine

0:32:53.800 --> 0:32:58.600
<v Speaker 1>point eight miles per hour last year two point four

0:32:59.440 --> 0:33:01.440
<v Speaker 1>And that was the thing that we noticed the first

0:33:01.480 --> 0:33:05.520
<v Speaker 1>month of the season. Remember he was pitching and then

0:33:05.640 --> 0:33:07.320
<v Speaker 1>we kind of went through this stretch where we were

0:33:07.360 --> 0:33:10.920
<v Speaker 1>really worried about because he was pitching eighty nine. He

0:33:11.040 --> 0:33:14.680
<v Speaker 1>was touching nine, but he was consistently like below ninety.

0:33:15.400 --> 0:33:19.240
<v Speaker 1>So him throwing the slider forty one percent of the time,

0:33:19.960 --> 0:33:22.040
<v Speaker 1>and by all accounts, what people say about the slider

0:33:22.080 --> 0:33:24.760
<v Speaker 1>as a pitch in baseball is it puts It puts

0:33:24.840 --> 0:33:27.840
<v Speaker 1>more torque on your arm than any other pitch. Who's

0:33:27.920 --> 0:33:31.800
<v Speaker 1>to say him throwing his sliderent of the time, it's

0:33:31.880 --> 0:33:36.040
<v Speaker 1>kind of messing with his arm, you know, devaluing the

0:33:36.120 --> 0:33:42.240
<v Speaker 1>fastball he has had before. Why don't just want to

0:33:42.280 --> 0:33:44.840
<v Speaker 1>note that, Yes, but look as good as everything was.

0:33:45.280 --> 0:33:48.360
<v Speaker 1>I like Patrick Corbin, but I'm I'm a skeptic. That's

0:33:48.440 --> 0:33:52.200
<v Speaker 1>that's how I will label what I'm seeing from last year.

0:33:52.280 --> 0:33:54.160
<v Speaker 1>And I liked him last year because he was going

0:33:54.160 --> 0:33:56.640
<v Speaker 1>outside the top thirty starting pitchers. You're getting him at

0:33:56.680 --> 0:33:58.880
<v Speaker 1>a good value. It doesn't mean like if you haven't

0:33:58.880 --> 0:34:00.800
<v Speaker 1>been a keeper or dynasty. Yes, you could still be

0:34:00.840 --> 0:34:02.880
<v Speaker 1>excited about him if you have him at a good value.

0:34:03.280 --> 0:34:05.480
<v Speaker 1>Fourth fifth round with some of those other names that

0:34:05.520 --> 0:34:07.560
<v Speaker 1>I mentioned. And I haven't done my starting picture ranking,

0:34:07.680 --> 0:34:11.279
<v Speaker 1>so you know, come March, I'll know whether or not

0:34:11.480 --> 0:34:15.120
<v Speaker 1>I like Patrick Corbin at that value at starting picture.

0:34:15.160 --> 0:34:16.920
<v Speaker 1>But as of right now, I'm a skeptic. There's a

0:34:16.960 --> 0:34:19.640
<v Speaker 1>lot that I liked. He got more he he looked.

0:34:19.640 --> 0:34:23.320
<v Speaker 1>The skills definitely improved. He was getting more swinging strikes,

0:34:23.680 --> 0:34:26.239
<v Speaker 1>he was, you know, pounding the zone in terms of

0:34:26.520 --> 0:34:28.560
<v Speaker 1>first pitch strike percentage. He was getting a head in

0:34:28.600 --> 0:34:30.520
<v Speaker 1>the count, he was getting people to chase. He had

0:34:30.520 --> 0:34:34.200
<v Speaker 1>a thirty eight percent outside swing rate last year. Um,

0:34:34.560 --> 0:34:38.080
<v Speaker 1>by all means that slider was absolutely legit. But I

0:34:38.760 --> 0:34:41.800
<v Speaker 1>just questioned, why why was it so good if the

0:34:41.880 --> 0:34:44.160
<v Speaker 1>movement on it didn't change, If you only use it

0:34:44.239 --> 0:34:47.200
<v Speaker 1>three or four percent more than the year before. Why

0:34:47.320 --> 0:34:51.040
<v Speaker 1>was it so much better? And to me, if there's

0:34:51.080 --> 0:34:53.600
<v Speaker 1>no evidence, it strikes me as an anomaly. And then

0:34:53.640 --> 0:34:55.719
<v Speaker 1>you put on top the hard hit rate and the

0:34:56.400 --> 0:35:00.800
<v Speaker 1>fastball of velocity being down. With Patrick Corbin, I'm a skeptic.

0:35:00.880 --> 0:35:02.600
<v Speaker 1>It's a high price to pay in the fourth, fifth round.

0:35:02.719 --> 0:35:06.040
<v Speaker 1>So the one word, if I'm understanding, the one word

0:35:06.200 --> 0:35:08.200
<v Speaker 1>you would use to describe Patrick Corban, I think it

0:35:08.200 --> 0:35:09.800
<v Speaker 1>would make this a thing. By the way, I'm always

0:35:09.840 --> 0:35:12.439
<v Speaker 1>gonna sum it up with one word. The one word

0:35:12.520 --> 0:35:15.640
<v Speaker 1>that you would use to subscribe to describe Patrick Corban

0:35:16.440 --> 0:35:23.960
<v Speaker 1>is skeptical. Yeah, And it almost seems unfair to say,

0:35:24.880 --> 0:35:26.440
<v Speaker 1>because there is there is a lot to like, but

0:35:27.040 --> 0:35:29.200
<v Speaker 1>there's a lot that jumps off the screen screen in

0:35:29.320 --> 0:35:30.919
<v Speaker 1>terms of, you know, things that you should worry about.

0:35:30.960 --> 0:35:34.320
<v Speaker 1>Two the guys that you the guys that you just named, Jameson,

0:35:34.400 --> 0:35:41.000
<v Speaker 1>tie On, James Paxton, Zach Grinky. Where does how would

0:35:41.040 --> 0:35:44.680
<v Speaker 1>you rank those guys? How where Patrick Corbyn fall among

0:35:44.800 --> 0:35:52.440
<v Speaker 1>those players? Yeah? Paxton, I might want more skeptical on Paxiston, Yeah,

0:35:52.480 --> 0:35:57.919
<v Speaker 1>Paxston is we talked about Paxxton and got scared off. Yeah,

0:35:57.960 --> 0:36:00.359
<v Speaker 1>the fact that you know, he was pitching to more

0:36:00.440 --> 0:36:03.520
<v Speaker 1>fly Bowl contacts. He's going into Yankee Stadium. Yes, he

0:36:03.600 --> 0:36:06.320
<v Speaker 1>got more strikeouts last year, but he did allow you know,

0:36:06.440 --> 0:36:11.759
<v Speaker 1>more hard contact. He's moving from Safeco Fields Yankee Stadium. Um. Yeah,

0:36:11.760 --> 0:36:14.520
<v Speaker 1>I mean he might be better on like a per

0:36:14.680 --> 0:36:17.840
<v Speaker 1>start basis than Patrick Corbyan might have more upside in

0:36:17.920 --> 0:36:20.600
<v Speaker 1>that regard, But Patrick Corban did just go two innings,

0:36:21.000 --> 0:36:23.080
<v Speaker 1>so he's probably a little bit more. It's probably a

0:36:23.080 --> 0:36:28.640
<v Speaker 1>little bit safer than James Paxton. Um, Jamison Tyne, I really,

0:36:28.800 --> 0:36:30.920
<v Speaker 1>I gotta, I gotta do my homework on on Jamison

0:36:31.000 --> 0:36:34.359
<v Speaker 1>ty one because he started throwing a slider last year

0:36:34.680 --> 0:36:37.280
<v Speaker 1>for the first time, and I've tweeted out these numbers before,

0:36:37.320 --> 0:36:41.840
<v Speaker 1>and basically once he started throwing that slider consistently, he

0:36:42.080 --> 0:36:44.640
<v Speaker 1>was a high two's, low three's e r A kind

0:36:44.640 --> 0:36:47.680
<v Speaker 1>of picture. The thing is like he didn't have close

0:36:47.760 --> 0:36:50.879
<v Speaker 1>to the same upside that Patrick Corbin, Like he wasn't

0:36:51.040 --> 0:36:52.680
<v Speaker 1>getting like eleven case for now, he was gonna like

0:36:53.040 --> 0:36:56.200
<v Speaker 1>nine case for nine. He was getting a strikeout per ning. Um,

0:36:56.320 --> 0:36:57.880
<v Speaker 1>So I like him. I think he's very solid. I

0:36:57.960 --> 0:37:00.680
<v Speaker 1>think No. Forty five to fifty. I'm saying brown ball

0:37:00.719 --> 0:37:05.480
<v Speaker 1>rate for Tywn. I like him a lot. Yeah, I

0:37:05.520 --> 0:37:07.799
<v Speaker 1>gotta do more. I gotta do. I would say it's

0:37:07.920 --> 0:37:11.040
<v Speaker 1>right now, if you're drafting right now. I'm skeptical, Pett,

0:37:11.760 --> 0:37:14.680
<v Speaker 1>that's the word skeptical. I think I'm a little more

0:37:14.800 --> 0:37:17.000
<v Speaker 1>in on Vatuck Corbyn probably than you. I think I

0:37:17.080 --> 0:37:18.759
<v Speaker 1>believe it a little bit more, but I hear where

<v Speaker 1>John's are not signing with Greg. I mean, look at

0:40:07.400 --> 0:40:10.680
<v Speaker 1>the state of that organization. I mean they need to

0:40:10.760 --> 0:40:15.600
<v Speaker 1>just tear it down and start over, because I mean

0:40:15.719 --> 0:40:17.600
<v Speaker 1>you look at the money that like Evan Longoria is

0:40:17.640 --> 0:40:20.320
<v Speaker 1>owed over the next couple of years. Madison bomb Garner

0:40:20.600 --> 0:40:23.880
<v Speaker 1>is entering a contract year. They still have Johnny Quato

0:40:24.000 --> 0:40:26.200
<v Speaker 1>on the books. They don't have a good farm system

0:40:26.239 --> 0:40:29.040
<v Speaker 1>at all. So like the state of the San Francisco

0:40:29.160 --> 0:40:31.880
<v Speaker 1>Giants I know that they went through you know, I

0:40:31.920 --> 0:40:35.400
<v Speaker 1>would consider them and probably the Red Sox unfortunately, the

0:40:35.520 --> 0:40:38.680
<v Speaker 1>two baseball teams that you might consider a dynasty in

0:40:38.920 --> 0:40:42.360
<v Speaker 1>in this millennium. Because what the Giants have won the

0:40:42.360 --> 0:40:46.600
<v Speaker 1>three World Series. I mean, they were great. And the

0:40:46.680 --> 0:40:48.919
<v Speaker 1>thing is a lot of those players got old. They've

0:40:48.960 --> 0:40:50.920
<v Speaker 1>moved on. I mean Buster Posey's and the player that

0:40:51.000 --> 0:40:53.800
<v Speaker 1>he once was. By the way, speaking of the Giants

0:40:53.920 --> 0:40:57.560
<v Speaker 1>kind of up to the Christian Royo is like not good.

0:40:58.440 --> 0:41:00.120
<v Speaker 1>It was injured a lot last years. Maybe we end

0:41:00.160 --> 0:41:02.680
<v Speaker 1>up being good. He's in Tampa Bay now. He was

0:41:02.719 --> 0:41:05.400
<v Speaker 1>traded in the trade, so he was the fever top prospects.

0:41:05.400 --> 0:41:07.399
<v Speaker 1>You're talking about their prospects not being good, but they've

0:41:09.680 --> 0:41:11.359
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if Christian Royal is ever gonna get

0:41:11.360 --> 0:41:13.440
<v Speaker 1>a shot. That's that's what I'm saying. So disappointing. I

0:41:13.480 --> 0:41:14.719
<v Speaker 1>felt like he could have been a good player, but

0:41:15.200 --> 0:41:18.440
<v Speaker 1>he never really had a tool that was kind of

0:41:18.600 --> 0:41:21.560
<v Speaker 1>jumped off the page for like a fantasy perspectively. He

0:41:21.640 --> 0:41:23.360
<v Speaker 1>wasn't a guy that hit three fifty in the minors.

0:41:23.440 --> 0:41:24.880
<v Speaker 1>He didn't have big power, he didn't see a lot

0:41:24.920 --> 0:41:27.440
<v Speaker 1>of basses. He kind of did everything, like all right,

0:41:28.200 --> 0:41:30.000
<v Speaker 1>I think he just kind of got hyped up because

0:41:31.640 --> 0:41:34.000
<v Speaker 1>he was the best in the Giants organization. But their

0:41:34.160 --> 0:41:36.719
<v Speaker 1>their farm was terrible, So it's like, what does that

0:41:36.800 --> 0:41:39.600
<v Speaker 1>mean if you're the best in a bad farm. You

0:41:39.640 --> 0:41:41.799
<v Speaker 1>see the Yankees a lot, right, their price projects get

0:41:41.880 --> 0:41:43.080
<v Speaker 1>hyped up because it was the best they had in

0:41:43.120 --> 0:41:45.759
<v Speaker 1>a terrible, terrible and for a long time, Like there

0:41:45.880 --> 0:41:49.560
<v Speaker 1>was a ten year stretch where Yankees farm system was brutal,

0:41:50.360 --> 0:41:53.720
<v Speaker 1>killer bees, right, Benuelos, but Tantas turned into a great reliever.

0:41:53.840 --> 0:41:55.640
<v Speaker 1>He was supposed to be a starting pitcher, and so

0:41:55.800 --> 0:41:58.840
<v Speaker 1>is Mariann Rivera. So it doesn't necessarily count. But like

0:41:58.880 --> 0:42:00.959
<v Speaker 1>a lot of a lot of the these hyped up guys,

0:42:01.160 --> 0:42:03.600
<v Speaker 1>you really have to take it into it's a context.

0:42:04.120 --> 0:42:07.200
<v Speaker 1>Just because you're the best prospect in an organization, the

0:42:07.320 --> 0:42:09.759
<v Speaker 1>organization is a bad farm system. It really just doesn't matter.

0:42:10.440 --> 0:42:14.680
<v Speaker 1>By the way, I'm totally gonna be back in Garcia

0:42:14.840 --> 0:42:17.919
<v Speaker 1>with the race. I know, I am why I can't

0:42:17.960 --> 0:42:20.560
<v Speaker 1>quit him one of these guys. Good place, that's a

0:42:20.920 --> 0:42:24.920
<v Speaker 1>good place to continue going here. Absolutely, that's that's kind

0:42:24.920 --> 0:42:26.680
<v Speaker 1>of why I'm here. See what I did that looking

0:42:26.680 --> 0:42:29.440
<v Speaker 1>at your looking at the roster resource pagers. M yes,

0:42:30.400 --> 0:42:32.759
<v Speaker 1>you can back roster resource and use it all. I

0:42:32.840 --> 0:42:34.480
<v Speaker 1>just wanted to see what was going on with that,

0:42:34.640 --> 0:42:36.799
<v Speaker 1>Like Austin Meadows, Like I could definitely see myself buying

0:42:36.840 --> 0:42:39.960
<v Speaker 1>in Austin's fun. They're always fun. Tyler Glass now I

0:42:40.000 --> 0:42:42.359
<v Speaker 1>want to talk about at some point like Glass will

0:42:42.360 --> 0:42:46.040
<v Speaker 1>be good. Medca distracted him like the eleventh round, which

0:42:46.040 --> 0:42:49.400
<v Speaker 1>seems kind of early. But yeah, if there's a guy

0:42:49.440 --> 0:42:51.600
<v Speaker 1>that I trust when it comes to starting pitching, it's Modica.

0:42:51.719 --> 0:42:53.279
<v Speaker 1>You mean, you know the past couple of years when

0:42:53.320 --> 0:42:55.520
<v Speaker 1>he's had a guy, that guy has been awesome. Last

0:42:55.560 --> 0:42:56.880
<v Speaker 1>year it was Garret Cold The year before that it

0:42:56.960 --> 0:43:00.360
<v Speaker 1>was James Paxson last year too, like Modica when it

0:43:00.400 --> 0:43:02.239
<v Speaker 1>comes to pitching. I mean, so if you don't mind

0:43:02.280 --> 0:43:05.360
<v Speaker 1>him Monday asking him number one, who that guy is?

0:43:05.800 --> 0:43:08.040
<v Speaker 1>This year number two asking about Tyler Glass now, I

0:43:08.160 --> 0:43:09.560
<v Speaker 1>really appreciate it. I want to get a stought on

0:43:09.600 --> 0:43:12.319
<v Speaker 1>Patrick Corbin too, because now I've I piqued my own interest. Sure,

0:43:12.360 --> 0:43:13.759
<v Speaker 1>I want to know how other people feel about I

0:43:13.800 --> 0:43:16.799
<v Speaker 1>just want you to ask those questions for me, last

0:43:16.880 --> 0:43:18.719
<v Speaker 1>now and last now, and who this guy is who

0:43:18.840 --> 0:43:21.359
<v Speaker 1>is like this year's Paxton is that we'll talk about

0:43:21.480 --> 0:43:24.799
<v Speaker 1>whatever draft he's doing right now. Yeah, obviously he used

0:43:24.840 --> 0:43:26.560
<v Speaker 1>to like knowing everybody who's gonna take that. He was

0:43:26.600 --> 0:43:28.440
<v Speaker 1>taking this guy in a million drafts. I don't know

0:43:28.480 --> 0:43:31.040
<v Speaker 1>who that is yet. So well also, but like I

0:43:31.080 --> 0:43:34.160
<v Speaker 1>also should really should realize and note that this Monday

0:43:34.239 --> 0:43:37.800
<v Speaker 1>starts Mondays with Modica. It doesn't end Mondays of Modica.

0:43:37.840 --> 0:43:40.480
<v Speaker 1>That just starts in right. Yeah, hopefully we can have

0:43:40.600 --> 0:43:42.360
<v Speaker 1>him on every Monday as a regular guest, and it

0:43:42.400 --> 0:43:44.080
<v Speaker 1>doesn't have to be the entire show, but get him

0:43:44.120 --> 0:43:45.960
<v Speaker 1>on for us anything. I just need to know. I

0:43:46.960 --> 0:43:49.759
<v Speaker 1>need to talk to the Raise made a rare big

0:43:49.800 --> 0:43:53.120
<v Speaker 1>ticket signing this offseason where they signed Charlie Wharton up

0:43:53.120 --> 0:43:56.560
<v Speaker 1>for two years and a ton of money. Charlie money.

0:43:56.640 --> 0:43:59.520
<v Speaker 1>That when you see big ticket though, that's like it's

0:43:59.520 --> 0:44:01.160
<v Speaker 1>a lot of money in like two years, twenty million

0:44:01.600 --> 0:44:03.920
<v Speaker 1>really not that big of a two years. Thirty million

0:44:04.960 --> 0:44:08.120
<v Speaker 1>was off by ten. It's a big difference. Fifteen million

0:44:08.160 --> 0:44:10.879
<v Speaker 1>dollars a a v for a thirty five year old picture.

0:44:11.000 --> 0:44:12.919
<v Speaker 1>All right, Yeah, I mean you don't normally see Tampa

0:44:12.960 --> 0:44:15.640
<v Speaker 1>Bay make a move like that. Yeah, two years thirty

0:44:15.800 --> 0:44:19.719
<v Speaker 1>millions signed anybody we usually signed like somebody for like

0:44:19.840 --> 0:44:25.560
<v Speaker 1>very little money. Yeah, like they were many exactly. No

0:44:25.800 --> 0:44:29.200
<v Speaker 1>Tampa Bay, nothing like this, No that. Charlie Morton everything

0:44:29.239 --> 0:44:31.359
<v Speaker 1>knows the story right, Like guys thirty five years old,

0:44:31.400 --> 0:44:33.719
<v Speaker 1>he's been around the league forever. Uh. When he went

0:44:33.760 --> 0:44:35.920
<v Speaker 1>from the Braves of the Pirates, like all right, right serious,

0:44:36.000 --> 0:44:40.160
<v Speaker 1>I like, I like, what's happening here? Didn't really happen.

0:44:40.680 --> 0:44:42.959
<v Speaker 1>And then he went over to the Astros and like, okay,

0:44:43.080 --> 0:44:45.279
<v Speaker 1>used to the Astros, Now what can happen? Well? In

0:44:45.719 --> 0:44:48.640
<v Speaker 1>seventeen he went fourteen and seven. Um, his CAPER nine

0:44:48.840 --> 0:44:51.279
<v Speaker 1>was was always good. With the tenny started walking less people.

0:44:51.400 --> 0:44:53.480
<v Speaker 1>E r A very was very good. It was good

0:44:53.760 --> 0:44:56.600
<v Speaker 1>at three point six to last year even better, he

0:44:56.640 --> 0:44:59.920
<v Speaker 1>went fifteen and three. Caper nine went up to ten

0:45:00.080 --> 0:45:02.600
<v Speaker 1>point eight three. Walks also went up to three point

0:45:02.680 --> 0:45:05.200
<v Speaker 1>four five. The e r A really went down at

0:45:05.200 --> 0:45:07.520
<v Speaker 1>three point one three, although the X fIF and FIP

0:45:07.680 --> 0:45:09.960
<v Speaker 1>remained right around where his e R A was a

0:45:10.080 --> 0:45:12.759
<v Speaker 1>year ago. Charlie Morton is a thirty five year old

0:45:12.760 --> 0:45:14.759
<v Speaker 1>guy that's kind of leading the confines of Houston and

0:45:14.840 --> 0:45:16.839
<v Speaker 1>goes over to Tampa, and it makes you a little

0:45:16.880 --> 0:45:20.000
<v Speaker 1>bit nervous. But where he's going, which is where Frank,

0:45:21.760 --> 0:45:25.400
<v Speaker 1>he is going at pick one two. He's the thirty

0:45:25.440 --> 0:45:27.120
<v Speaker 1>second starting pitcher off the board right now. So as

0:45:27.160 --> 0:45:28.759
<v Speaker 1>the thirty second pitcher off the board, it's not like

0:45:28.840 --> 0:45:30.920
<v Speaker 1>you're paying the exorbitant amount of hime or anything like that,

0:45:31.920 --> 0:45:34.319
<v Speaker 1>but you're wondering if he could be what he's been

0:45:34.320 --> 0:45:36.200
<v Speaker 1>in the last two years or be what it was

0:45:36.320 --> 0:45:38.319
<v Speaker 1>the two years prior to that, where he had an

0:45:38.400 --> 0:45:40.600
<v Speaker 1>over four e r A in both of these seasons

0:45:40.680 --> 0:45:43.919
<v Speaker 1>with Philadelphia four point eight one and fifteen four point

0:45:43.960 --> 0:45:46.239
<v Speaker 1>one five. I'll buy an excellent FIP and x FIP

0:45:46.560 --> 0:45:50.480
<v Speaker 1>in s who is the real Charlie Morton? Frank, who

0:45:50.640 --> 0:45:52.279
<v Speaker 1>is the real Charlie Morton? Well, that's what we're gonna

0:45:52.280 --> 0:45:56.480
<v Speaker 1>have to figure out because Houston, basically, for all intensive purposes,

0:45:56.520 --> 0:45:59.400
<v Speaker 1>they've turned into the new Pittsburgh Pirates in terms of

0:46:00.160 --> 0:46:04.160
<v Speaker 1>taking a starting pitcher and making said starting pitcher amazing.

0:46:04.320 --> 0:46:07.239
<v Speaker 1>Right justin Verlander as great as he was, he you know,

0:46:07.320 --> 0:46:08.759
<v Speaker 1>he had a few seasons where he's kind of he

0:46:08.920 --> 0:46:11.640
<v Speaker 1>he bounced back with Detroit, but never to the level

0:46:11.680 --> 0:46:13.160
<v Speaker 1>that he's done with Houston, and then you see a

0:46:13.160 --> 0:46:15.920
<v Speaker 1>guy like Derek Cole also go over to the Houston

0:46:15.960 --> 0:46:19.520
<v Speaker 1>Astros again. He had a few fine seasons with the

0:46:19.600 --> 0:46:23.640
<v Speaker 1>Pittsburgh Pirates, and he was a former top prospect and

0:46:23.840 --> 0:46:28.000
<v Speaker 1>was supposed to be amazing but kind of ran into

0:46:28.080 --> 0:46:30.759
<v Speaker 1>some tough times with Pittsburgh. Goes over to Houston last

0:46:30.840 --> 0:46:33.279
<v Speaker 1>year amazing. The same thing happened with Charlie Morton the

0:46:33.360 --> 0:46:36.960
<v Speaker 1>past two seasons from eight from two thousand eight to

0:46:37.040 --> 0:46:40.920
<v Speaker 1>two thou fifteen, greg four point five four e r

0:46:41.000 --> 0:46:45.120
<v Speaker 1>A six point to eight ks per nine, three point

0:46:45.200 --> 0:46:47.919
<v Speaker 1>three eight walks per nine. He was basically a pitch

0:46:47.960 --> 0:46:53.719
<v Speaker 1>to contact fifty groundball guy. Uh fastball change, curveball, change

0:46:53.800 --> 0:46:56.040
<v Speaker 1>up through his fastball sixty six percent at the time,

0:46:56.360 --> 0:47:00.279
<v Speaker 1>only through his curveball through a change up nine since.

0:47:00.600 --> 0:47:03.920
<v Speaker 1>One of the biggest differences that we've seen six miles

0:47:03.960 --> 0:47:07.040
<v Speaker 1>per hour from two thousand eight to two thousand fifteen

0:47:07.120 --> 0:47:11.080
<v Speaker 1>on his fastball six a seven point seven percent swinging

0:47:11.160 --> 0:47:13.600
<v Speaker 1>strike grade for all his pitches the past two seasons

0:47:14.280 --> 0:47:20.799
<v Speaker 1>is bastball velocity has been point four miles as he's

0:47:20.840 --> 0:47:24.719
<v Speaker 1>gotten older. As he's gotten older and we've heard that

0:47:25.040 --> 0:47:27.640
<v Speaker 1>a philosophy of the Houston Astros has come out, something

0:47:27.719 --> 0:47:29.560
<v Speaker 1>that they tell their pictures to do. It was basically,

0:47:29.600 --> 0:47:31.640
<v Speaker 1>throw the ball as hard as you can, like, don't

0:47:31.640 --> 0:47:33.840
<v Speaker 1>worry about it. We were not worried about you know,

0:47:33.840 --> 0:47:35.080
<v Speaker 1>if you got to go in the dyel at some

0:47:35.200 --> 0:47:37.040
<v Speaker 1>point and you've seen that the past couple of years.

0:47:37.120 --> 0:47:39.160
<v Speaker 1>For Charlie Morton, you can't really project him for more

0:47:39.160 --> 0:47:41.880
<v Speaker 1>than a hundred and fifty hundred and six. It's basically

0:47:41.920 --> 0:47:44.200
<v Speaker 1>where he's been. But hey, when you're on the field,

0:47:44.480 --> 0:47:46.279
<v Speaker 1>when you're on that mound, we want you to throw

0:47:46.320 --> 0:47:48.440
<v Speaker 1>the ball as hard as possible. But we we did

0:47:48.520 --> 0:47:50.880
<v Speaker 1>see a little bit of that before he went to Houston.

0:47:51.360 --> 0:47:54.720
<v Speaker 1>Do you remember that season Gregg back in two thousand

0:47:54.719 --> 0:47:57.720
<v Speaker 1>and sixteen, he joined the Phillies for about four starts

0:47:58.120 --> 0:48:01.080
<v Speaker 1>and he um, I've forgot what the injury was, but

0:48:01.719 --> 0:48:05.600
<v Speaker 1>he suffered a season ending injury. That preseason, everyone was

0:48:05.680 --> 0:48:07.320
<v Speaker 1>kind of talking to Charlie Morton like, this guy is

0:48:07.320 --> 0:48:10.120
<v Speaker 1>throwing with serious velocity as part of the Phillies organization.

0:48:10.680 --> 0:48:12.200
<v Speaker 1>This is something that we were already starting to see

0:48:12.200 --> 0:48:15.080
<v Speaker 1>even before he joined Houston. For whatever reason, whoever he

0:48:15.200 --> 0:48:17.960
<v Speaker 1>worked with his fastball shot up to ninety four miles

0:48:18.000 --> 0:48:21.760
<v Speaker 1>per hour in and only four starts with the Phillies,

0:48:21.920 --> 0:48:24.120
<v Speaker 1>but it was something that people were legitimately talking about

0:48:24.320 --> 0:48:27.320
<v Speaker 1>throughout the spring training UH that year, and his swinging

0:48:27.360 --> 0:48:29.480
<v Speaker 1>strike create went up to twelve percent, so we were

0:48:29.480 --> 0:48:32.759
<v Speaker 1>already starting to see this change. Um. The biggest change

0:48:33.120 --> 0:48:36.280
<v Speaker 1>another change that I've seen in you know, early Charlie

0:48:36.320 --> 0:48:39.440
<v Speaker 1>Mooreton to the past two seasons is he throws his

0:48:40.080 --> 0:48:44.000
<v Speaker 1>curveball nine percent of the time rather than so it's

0:48:44.040 --> 0:48:47.040
<v Speaker 1>up nine percent the past two years. And then um,

0:48:47.200 --> 0:48:51.399
<v Speaker 1>he also throws a cutter now eight point six percent

0:48:51.400 --> 0:48:53.520
<v Speaker 1>of time. He really has like four different like iterations

0:48:53.560 --> 0:48:56.400
<v Speaker 1>of a fastball. He has a four steamer, he has

0:48:57.080 --> 0:49:00.400
<v Speaker 1>a cutter, a sinker, and he has a split fastball

0:49:00.440 --> 0:49:02.280
<v Speaker 1>that he throws as well, so he has four different fastballs.

0:49:02.400 --> 0:49:07.440
<v Speaker 1>He throws a very effective curveball. Um, he limits hard contact.

0:49:07.600 --> 0:49:10.920
<v Speaker 1>You know, he's been you know under thirty two the

0:49:11.000 --> 0:49:15.480
<v Speaker 1>past couple of seasons, and he carried that over to

0:49:15.600 --> 0:49:18.280
<v Speaker 1>Tampa Bay. If there, I said this to venture downstairs,

0:49:18.280 --> 0:49:21.640
<v Speaker 1>if there was one organization that Probabie Morton could change

0:49:21.719 --> 0:49:24.799
<v Speaker 1>to going away from Houston. To me, I would want

0:49:24.800 --> 0:49:27.640
<v Speaker 1>it to be Tampa because they are a forward thinking organization.

0:49:28.200 --> 0:49:31.520
<v Speaker 1>They have, you know, one of the better analytics departments,

0:49:31.960 --> 0:49:36.279
<v Speaker 1>going from you know, starting uh closer relievers last year,

0:49:36.520 --> 0:49:39.560
<v Speaker 1>having the opener, and then kind of like throwing everybody off,

0:49:39.719 --> 0:49:41.480
<v Speaker 1>getting the most out of a guy like Blake Snell,

0:49:42.160 --> 0:49:44.160
<v Speaker 1>you know, getting him on track, turning him into a

0:49:44.280 --> 0:49:46.480
<v Speaker 1>cy Young Award winner the way that they did. If

0:49:46.520 --> 0:49:48.560
<v Speaker 1>there was one organization that he could go to, I

0:49:48.719 --> 0:49:52.920
<v Speaker 1>like the fact that he went to Tampa. With all

0:49:53.000 --> 0:49:56.200
<v Speaker 1>that being said, the change in division, he has to

0:49:56.239 --> 0:49:58.440
<v Speaker 1>pitch against the Red Sox, he's gotta pitch in Fenway,

0:49:58.480 --> 0:50:00.960
<v Speaker 1>He's gotta go to Yankee Stadium. I still do like

0:50:01.200 --> 0:50:03.600
<v Speaker 1>Charlie Morton, and I still think that he can be

0:50:03.719 --> 0:50:06.360
<v Speaker 1>a good source of strikeouts. I think the ear a

0:50:06.520 --> 0:50:08.600
<v Speaker 1>rises a little bit. I think it's a fair projection.

0:50:08.719 --> 0:50:11.040
<v Speaker 1>I don't know that he's in the three four, three

0:50:11.120 --> 0:50:14.359
<v Speaker 1>five range. Maybe he's more three six three seven now

0:50:14.920 --> 0:50:16.799
<v Speaker 1>this year, Greg, but I do think that he'll still

0:50:16.880 --> 0:50:20.320
<v Speaker 1>be a source of strikeouts this year. Um over a

0:50:20.360 --> 0:50:22.839
<v Speaker 1>strikeout for ending, I think he could be close to ten.

0:50:23.440 --> 0:50:25.640
<v Speaker 1>He's still gonna walk some guys. But the whip the

0:50:25.719 --> 0:50:28.359
<v Speaker 1>past couple of years has still been pretty good. It's

0:50:28.400 --> 0:50:30.879
<v Speaker 1>been under one point to zero the past couple of years.

0:50:31.520 --> 0:50:34.040
<v Speaker 1>I think, you know, three point six three point seven

0:50:34.080 --> 0:50:38.280
<v Speaker 1>ear a one point to one point to five whip

0:50:39.280 --> 0:50:43.240
<v Speaker 1>is fair? Is it worth the thirty second starting pitcher

0:50:43.280 --> 0:50:45.640
<v Speaker 1>off the board? I could probably find guys that I

0:50:45.719 --> 0:50:48.520
<v Speaker 1>like better. I think he's a better roto pitcher. I

0:50:48.560 --> 0:50:51.320
<v Speaker 1>think he's a better head to head categories pitcher because

0:50:51.760 --> 0:50:53.880
<v Speaker 1>uh in in points leaves, you want guys that are

0:50:53.920 --> 0:50:56.479
<v Speaker 1>gonna be durable. They are gonna give you ennings, gonna

0:50:56.480 --> 0:50:59.920
<v Speaker 1>go deep into their starts. I do think probably more

0:51:00.000 --> 0:51:03.080
<v Speaker 1>in his more in that mold of like a rich Hill.

0:51:03.120 --> 0:51:05.239
<v Speaker 1>What did Mike always say about Rich Hill? He's a

0:51:05.280 --> 0:51:07.000
<v Speaker 1>great roto picture because of what he does on a

0:51:07.080 --> 0:51:10.840
<v Speaker 1>per start basis. That's That's how Charlie Morton strikes me.

0:51:11.120 --> 0:51:13.759
<v Speaker 1>I tend to agree with you. I'm just nervous as

0:51:13.800 --> 0:51:16.160
<v Speaker 1>he continues to get older, as he does change leases

0:51:16.320 --> 0:51:18.880
<v Speaker 1>in the A L. East. Now, I'm concerned about the injuries,

0:51:18.880 --> 0:51:21.600
<v Speaker 1>are concerned about what that workload will be like with

0:51:21.760 --> 0:51:24.000
<v Speaker 1>the Rays now with Blake Snell listen, let him throw

0:51:24.000 --> 0:51:25.640
<v Speaker 1>a hundred pitches every time out and it wasn't a

0:51:25.680 --> 0:51:28.080
<v Speaker 1>thought process like Blake Snell was treated as a normal

0:51:28.160 --> 0:51:30.720
<v Speaker 1>starting picture for the most part. Will they treat Charlie

0:51:30.719 --> 0:51:32.359
<v Speaker 1>Morton like that, you'd hope so after giving him two

0:51:32.400 --> 0:51:36.279
<v Speaker 1>years or thirty million dollars um, I have considered Charlie Morton.

0:51:36.360 --> 0:51:38.479
<v Speaker 1>I like him, I don't love him. Frank he would

0:51:38.520 --> 0:51:43.080
<v Speaker 1>give me one word described Morton, would it be? Mm hmm?

0:51:44.560 --> 0:51:46.680
<v Speaker 1>The first thing that came to my mind was surprising,

0:51:46.880 --> 0:51:49.239
<v Speaker 1>But I think that's just like how he's been the

0:51:49.280 --> 0:51:51.200
<v Speaker 1>past couple of years. It's not really how I feel

0:51:51.200 --> 0:51:55.120
<v Speaker 1>about him heading into this year. I put this as

0:51:55.160 --> 0:51:57.360
<v Speaker 1>one of the options on the pole for today and

0:51:57.480 --> 0:52:02.800
<v Speaker 1>involving Charlie Morton, man, and that's how I feel about him. Okay,

0:52:03.680 --> 0:52:05.960
<v Speaker 1>he'll he'll still be a good source of strikeouts on

0:52:06.000 --> 0:52:09.719
<v Speaker 1>a per start basis. I do like that. But again,

0:52:09.719 --> 0:52:11.520
<v Speaker 1>I think the ear a jumps a little bit the

0:52:11.600 --> 0:52:13.840
<v Speaker 1>fact that he has to say Aston New York or

0:52:13.920 --> 0:52:15.600
<v Speaker 1>he has to see the Yankees more. I mean these

0:52:15.640 --> 0:52:22.040
<v Speaker 1>are now obviously well ultimately that comes to nation as well. Yeah, Well,

0:52:22.080 --> 0:52:24.120
<v Speaker 1>he's always faced a d H being with the ashows.

0:52:24.239 --> 0:52:27.239
<v Speaker 1>Oh that's forgot that unbelieving. I think the ear a

0:52:27.360 --> 0:52:28.800
<v Speaker 1>rises a little bit. I think he's more than like

0:52:28.880 --> 0:52:30.640
<v Speaker 1>the three six or three seven range. He is a

0:52:30.640 --> 0:52:34.799
<v Speaker 1>serviceable starting pitcher under hundred sixty and he's pitch. Would

0:52:34.800 --> 0:52:38.760
<v Speaker 1>you really want them for is the strikeouts? But me personally,

0:52:38.840 --> 0:52:41.399
<v Speaker 1>I'm not expecting the same Charlie Morton that we've seen

0:52:41.440 --> 0:52:44.400
<v Speaker 1>the past two years. With that, we're gonna sid off

0:52:44.440 --> 0:52:48.120
<v Speaker 1>of YouTube for today, Corey, Jim and Venture. They're up

0:52:48.200 --> 0:52:52.080
<v Speaker 1>next Fantasy Football Frenzy. I think, come your way next rate, subscribe,

0:52:52.200 --> 0:52:55.480
<v Speaker 1>like and leave a comment please five stars. We sincerely

0:52:55.520 --> 0:52:57.600
<v Speaker 1>appreciate it. Before we get to Wade Miley, I do

0:52:57.680 --> 0:52:58.960
<v Speaker 1>want to go to the phone lines here, Frank and

0:52:59.160 --> 0:53:04.040
<v Speaker 1>four four nine go to Kevin in Missouri. How are

0:53:04.040 --> 0:53:08.319
<v Speaker 1>you doing? Guys? Hey? Sorry to call back, but um,

0:53:08.440 --> 0:53:11.480
<v Speaker 1>the twenty nine team chief schedule has came out and

0:53:11.719 --> 0:53:14.640
<v Speaker 1>I do not get why are we playing in New

0:53:14.719 --> 0:53:18.320
<v Speaker 1>England again? That is ridiculous, I think, And you know what,

0:53:19.120 --> 0:53:21.719
<v Speaker 1>it's our turn for them to come to Arrowhead and

0:53:21.800 --> 0:53:24.520
<v Speaker 1>play us that Arrowhead in a regular game. You know.

0:53:24.840 --> 0:53:28.279
<v Speaker 1>With with the Patriots schedule, they're gonna go play at

0:53:28.360 --> 0:53:32.160
<v Speaker 1>Buffalo and they're gonna go play Cincinnati Bengals, Like, okay,

0:53:32.280 --> 0:53:34.640
<v Speaker 1>what's the deal with that? That is not a game

0:53:34.680 --> 0:53:37.560
<v Speaker 1>at all. They need somebody that they can go to

0:53:37.920 --> 0:53:40.440
<v Speaker 1>and try to be at their home stadium, not no

0:53:40.640 --> 0:53:46.120
<v Speaker 1>team that cannot play football. The chief get rigged every season.

0:53:46.320 --> 0:53:48.000
<v Speaker 1>And this is why the Chiefs have not been to

0:53:48.080 --> 0:53:52.000
<v Speaker 1>Super Bowls because that you know, the NFL is rigged,

0:53:52.960 --> 0:53:55.560
<v Speaker 1>or or you know, they weren't good enough in the

0:53:55.680 --> 0:53:58.920
<v Speaker 1>last game of season against the Patriots at home at

0:53:58.920 --> 0:54:02.680
<v Speaker 1>our head stadium. Other one record this year as well,

0:54:02.719 --> 0:54:04.759
<v Speaker 1>So aren't they going to face a tougher schedule? I

0:54:04.880 --> 0:54:06.920
<v Speaker 1>I do hear what you're saying about how they had

0:54:07.000 --> 0:54:09.920
<v Speaker 1>to to travel to face the Patriots this past year.

0:54:10.000 --> 0:54:13.080
<v Speaker 1>They lost a home We're not talking about the playoffs.

0:54:13.120 --> 0:54:15.560
<v Speaker 1>I don't care. You can't tell me it's rigged against

0:54:15.640 --> 0:54:17.800
<v Speaker 1>these Chiefs when they were at home in the playoffs

0:54:17.840 --> 0:54:21.759
<v Speaker 1>they lost. The deal is as though, is you know,

0:54:21.880 --> 0:54:25.040
<v Speaker 1>yeah we lost. Yeah, teams screw up, but it's a

0:54:25.120 --> 0:54:27.880
<v Speaker 1>new year. We're ready for them to come play at Arrowheads.

0:54:27.960 --> 0:54:30.359
<v Speaker 1>It's not because it's not because they're screwing them. There's

0:54:30.360 --> 0:54:32.279
<v Speaker 1>a there's a reason for that. I don't know the

0:54:32.320 --> 0:54:34.840
<v Speaker 1>reason and when it was the NFL schedule scheduling, but

0:54:34.880 --> 0:54:37.520
<v Speaker 1>there is a reason, um of why you play which

0:54:37.560 --> 0:54:39.120
<v Speaker 1>team is home in a way I can look that

0:54:39.239 --> 0:54:41.279
<v Speaker 1>up and I will. I tweeted it out. Um, there

0:54:41.400 --> 0:54:43.359
<v Speaker 1>is a reason for it's not getting screwed there. There's

0:54:43.520 --> 0:54:48.720
<v Speaker 1>there is some logic behind that. Four six eight four

0:54:48.960 --> 0:54:53.759
<v Speaker 1>eight four three six eight seven nine. Uh, Frankie, we

0:54:53.840 --> 0:54:56.560
<v Speaker 1>have a couple of minutes left and that's enough to

0:54:56.640 --> 0:54:59.719
<v Speaker 1>justify Wade Miley. H Wade Miley. Uh came out of

0:54:59.760 --> 0:55:01.440
<v Speaker 1>the brew was midways through the year. Listen, way Mile

0:55:01.520 --> 0:55:04.880
<v Speaker 1>He's not exciting for anybody, but he's awesome for the Brewers,

0:55:04.920 --> 0:55:07.200
<v Speaker 1>and he turned that into a contract this year at

0:55:07.200 --> 0:55:09.480
<v Speaker 1>the Astros and he's starting picture in the Astros. We're

0:55:09.480 --> 0:55:11.080
<v Speaker 1>talking about we're gonna get into some of their younger

0:55:11.160 --> 0:55:13.360
<v Speaker 1>guys um coming up in the upcoming weeks. What do

0:55:13.400 --> 0:55:17.520
<v Speaker 1>you think about Wade Miley? So, Wade Miley, he's gotta

0:55:17.880 --> 0:55:19.399
<v Speaker 1>First of all, he's got a DP in the month

0:55:19.440 --> 0:55:22.400
<v Speaker 1>of February of four sixty, so you know he's basically

0:55:22.440 --> 0:55:24.640
<v Speaker 1>going for nothing if you play in these NFBC leads

0:55:24.719 --> 0:55:28.680
<v Speaker 1>he has jumped, but you're getting him super late. I

0:55:28.760 --> 0:55:30.759
<v Speaker 1>do think that any time a picture does, you know,

0:55:30.960 --> 0:55:32.560
<v Speaker 1>move over to the Houston Astros, you have to be

0:55:32.680 --> 0:55:36.160
<v Speaker 1>at least somewhat intrigued. And they've already talked about how

0:55:36.400 --> 0:55:39.120
<v Speaker 1>they're gonna let him throw that cutter as much as

0:55:39.160 --> 0:55:41.000
<v Speaker 1>he did last year. I know he threw it like

0:55:41.080 --> 0:55:43.120
<v Speaker 1>forty one percent of the time. That was by far

0:55:43.680 --> 0:55:48.200
<v Speaker 1>a career high for him, whereas you know in eleven

0:55:48.239 --> 0:55:50.560
<v Speaker 1>percent of the time and that pitch was very effective

0:55:50.600 --> 0:55:54.080
<v Speaker 1>for him. So a career high forty two percent cutter

0:55:54.239 --> 0:55:56.799
<v Speaker 1>usage last year for Wade Miley. I'm intrigued to see

0:55:57.120 --> 0:56:00.200
<v Speaker 1>what more the Houston Astros can get out of him.

0:56:00.239 --> 0:56:03.640
<v Speaker 1>Do I have great expectations for him? No. He had

0:56:03.680 --> 0:56:05.520
<v Speaker 1>a two point five seven e r A last year

0:56:05.560 --> 0:56:08.759
<v Speaker 1>at the Brewers with the with a caper nine under

0:56:08.800 --> 0:56:12.000
<v Speaker 1>six and three walks per nine. It's fit with three

0:56:12.040 --> 0:56:14.680
<v Speaker 1>point five nine. His ex fit was four point three

0:56:14.800 --> 0:56:17.200
<v Speaker 1>zero and still gave up a lot of hard contact.

0:56:17.280 --> 0:56:20.480
<v Speaker 1>So it's not just oh, any picture that goes to

0:56:20.560 --> 0:56:24.640
<v Speaker 1>Houston is automatically going to become great, but and Houston

0:56:24.920 --> 0:56:27.160
<v Speaker 1>kind of get the most out of him, and you know,

0:56:28.280 --> 0:56:30.719
<v Speaker 1>use that cutter a lot, and you know, have him

0:56:30.800 --> 0:56:32.759
<v Speaker 1>throw the ball as hard as he possibly can and

0:56:32.960 --> 0:56:35.120
<v Speaker 1>and get the most out of his secondary pitches as well.

0:56:35.200 --> 0:56:37.480
<v Speaker 1>And he can pitch too. I don't know an e

0:56:37.600 --> 0:56:40.600
<v Speaker 1>r A under four at pick four sixty right now

0:56:40.640 --> 0:56:43.640
<v Speaker 1>in the NBC. I think that's certainly doable. I think

0:56:43.680 --> 0:56:46.160
<v Speaker 1>he could be an ear A under four guy. Kenny, Yeah,

0:56:46.360 --> 0:56:49.000
<v Speaker 1>I mean getting picked at four sixty three. I mean

0:56:49.320 --> 0:56:51.279
<v Speaker 1>because you literally don't think no people are gonna get

0:56:51.320 --> 0:56:55.080
<v Speaker 1>excited about him, especially if he does anything in spring training.

0:56:55.320 --> 0:56:57.320
<v Speaker 1>It's just for the fact that he's moving over to Houston.

0:56:57.719 --> 0:56:59.840
<v Speaker 1>And I mean you have realistic expectation as you just

0:57:00.000 --> 0:57:01.960
<v Speaker 1>in with Charlie Morton. All Heaston asked you to do

0:57:02.080 --> 0:57:03.520
<v Speaker 1>is air it out and wait by I could air

0:57:03.560 --> 0:57:06.719
<v Speaker 1>it out. There could be something level of interest there

0:57:06.719 --> 0:57:10.040
<v Speaker 1>every good reason. Fransies up, Naxt, Corey, Jim and of

0:57:10.120 --> 0:57:13.320
<v Speaker 1>course Ventcher. Thanks everybody downstairs, Frank Stamford and Gregg Susman's

0:57:13.320 --> 0:57:15.280
<v Speaker 1>doing long in tomorrow, we hope
