1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:16,720
Speaker 1: One hell of an offer. Let's play ball. Welcome in

2
00:00:16,800 --> 00:00:18,120
Speaker 1: everybody to fantasy pros.

3
00:00:18,239 --> 00:00:20,560
Speaker 2: This is leading off Rock to you by bet MGM,

4
00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:23,360
Speaker 2: the King of sports Books. It's me Joey p jop

5
00:00:23,520 --> 00:00:25,880
Speaker 2: Zapia with me is the Welsh and of course we've

6
00:00:25,880 --> 00:00:27,800
Speaker 2: got a lot to talk about today. Yesterday was the

7
00:00:27,960 --> 00:00:31,360
Speaker 2: MLB First Year Player Draft, very exciting stuff, and we

8
00:00:31,440 --> 00:00:34,519
Speaker 2: got the man, mister Prospect one to break it all

9
00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:37,159
Speaker 2: down for us. Tell us about the top picks, the

10
00:00:37,159 --> 00:00:39,120
Speaker 2: rest of the picks that he liked, the ones he didn't,

11
00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:41,800
Speaker 2: why Jim Kallis's suit was so large, all of those

12
00:00:41,800 --> 00:00:44,000
Speaker 2: things we're gonna talk about today. We're also going to

13
00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:48,279
Speaker 2: talk about another Chris Sale injury. My goodness, poor Chris Sale.

14
00:00:48,479 --> 00:00:50,680
Speaker 2: I think you just put himself in bubble wrap the

15
00:00:50,720 --> 00:00:53,080
Speaker 2: rest of the season. And also Welsh, we gotta start

16
00:00:53,080 --> 00:00:55,800
Speaker 2: with the big news, which is the Nationals offered Juan

17
00:00:55,920 --> 00:00:58,720
Speaker 2: Soto four hundred and forty million dollars and it was

18
00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:02,600
Speaker 2: not enough to stay in Washington, so thumbs down from

19
00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:05,320
Speaker 2: one to one. So, uh, I guess we got to

20
00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:07,960
Speaker 2: start there. I mean, it's open Wan Sodo season now

21
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:10,399
Speaker 2: for the rest of Major League Baseball. They're taking trade offers.

22
00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:13,520
Speaker 2: The question is when will he end up somewhere else?

23
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:14,720
Speaker 3: Is it is?

24
00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:14,880
Speaker 1: It?

25
00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:17,360
Speaker 4: Really didn't we do this bit Like earlier in the year,

26
00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:19,160
Speaker 4: We're like, come on, I'm not gonna trade We're not

27
00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:21,600
Speaker 4: gonna I'm not gonna trade one Soto get out of

28
00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:22,600
Speaker 4: here with this nonsense.

29
00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:23,440
Speaker 3: But it is big news.

30
00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:26,440
Speaker 4: You drop, you know, a four hundred million dollar deal

31
00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:28,160
Speaker 4: and Soto says, Nope, no thanks.

32
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:31,600
Speaker 3: I still is a part of me that does not think.

33
00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:34,160
Speaker 4: This is completely over. One of the main problems with

34
00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:37,400
Speaker 4: it was it was backloaded, which he didn't want, and

35
00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:39,759
Speaker 4: it was front loaded on lower av and.

36
00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:42,280
Speaker 3: I just it didn't make sense. I know why they

37
00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:42,640
Speaker 3: did it.

38
00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:46,399
Speaker 4: They've got a horrifically bad stephn Strousberg contract that's sitting

39
00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:48,440
Speaker 4: out there, so it makes sure sense why they went

40
00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:51,040
Speaker 4: and did that. But regardless of the point, that's not

41
00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:54,080
Speaker 4: the conversation to have. The conversation to have is who

42
00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:56,360
Speaker 4: is gonna go out there and get him? Who could

43
00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:59,560
Speaker 4: possibly get him? And I believe there were four teams that.

44
00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:01,000
Speaker 3: Were named Joe.

45
00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:03,560
Speaker 4: You had the New York Mets, the New York Yankees,

46
00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:07,120
Speaker 4: the Dodgers, and the Cardinals. Were the four teams that

47
00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:11,639
Speaker 4: are already being attached to Juan Soto. As Soto unfortunately

48
00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:13,799
Speaker 4: came out and also said he was pretty disappointed that

49
00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:16,840
Speaker 4: this happened. Somebody noted over, Yes, sure, I think it

50
00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:18,840
Speaker 4: was on Sunday that he was like, you're most appointed.

51
00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:21,799
Speaker 4: You don't want that out. You don't want that, especially

52
00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:24,520
Speaker 4: if a deal gets done. You don't want that to

53
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:29,120
Speaker 4: end up happening. But let me ask you, likelihood now

54
00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:31,240
Speaker 4: that you think Juan Soto is traded, not just at

55
00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:34,799
Speaker 4: the deadline, I think that is premature at this point,

56
00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:38,840
Speaker 4: but what are the odds you think he actually is

57
00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:39,800
Speaker 4: going to get moved?

58
00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:45,839
Speaker 2: And by the deadline? I think it's done by the deadline. Well,

59
00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:48,919
Speaker 2: because the longer you wait, you know, the longer you wait,

60
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:53,320
Speaker 2: you always there's always catastrophe with injury, right, that could

61
00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:55,400
Speaker 2: always be looming any minute you blow an ACL or

62
00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:58,400
Speaker 2: something like that happens, right. I think that with the

63
00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:02,120
Speaker 2: years remaining on his contract currently and how that structure

64
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:05,560
Speaker 2: the control you have over Juan Soto for a few years,

65
00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:08,639
Speaker 2: and then the possibility of wanting to extend him, the

66
00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:11,120
Speaker 2: biggest buy you can make right now in terms of

67
00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:13,919
Speaker 2: prospect Hall Is to do it now, don't wait. It's

68
00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:15,520
Speaker 2: a lost season. The Nats are not going to get

69
00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:17,520
Speaker 2: any better this year. They're probably not gonna get any

70
00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:19,680
Speaker 2: better next year. At least you can start to sell

71
00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:22,120
Speaker 2: the fan base next year is hey, we moved Wan Soto,

72
00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:23,040
Speaker 2: We're rebuilding.

73
00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:24,680
Speaker 1: We're in full rebuild.

74
00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:29,399
Speaker 2: Catch the rising stars like Francisco Alvarez and Ventos and

75
00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:32,560
Speaker 2: Ran Precio or anybody else that the Mets want to

76
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:32,880
Speaker 2: give them.

77
00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:34,080
Speaker 1: How about that and Brett Baty.

78
00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:37,200
Speaker 2: Catch all the rising stars at the Nationals Ballpark next year.

79
00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:39,320
Speaker 2: And I think the Mets are the leading contenders because

80
00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:43,800
Speaker 2: I think they have the combination of owner desire to

81
00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:47,480
Speaker 2: spend the money and it doesn't care the desire of

82
00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:49,840
Speaker 2: I think Juan Soto to be in a big market,

83
00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:53,160
Speaker 2: the prospects to get it done. I think the yankees

84
00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:55,800
Speaker 2: big handcuff is not the Volpies and Dominguez and the

85
00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:58,160
Speaker 2: guys that they could move, because they could, but it's

86
00:03:58,200 --> 00:03:59,720
Speaker 2: selling to the fan base. Then, okay, you have to

87
00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:02,680
Speaker 2: own choose between Aaron Judge and Juan So do I

88
00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:03,760
Speaker 2: feel like you have to choose? Man?

89
00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:06,080
Speaker 4: I don't think the Yankees have never had problems with that.

90
00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:09,000
Speaker 4: They the jetered fan favorite, and they brought in Alex

91
00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:11,000
Speaker 4: Rodriguez they've never had.

92
00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:12,880
Speaker 2: But they didn't do it despite getting rid of Derek Jeter.

93
00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:15,160
Speaker 2: I don't I think it's either or, and I think

94
00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:16,960
Speaker 2: it's gonna be really tough to sell Aaron Judge, their

95
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:19,599
Speaker 2: hometown guy who's been there the whole time, and say,

96
00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:21,200
Speaker 2: you know what, here you go, fan base, we're gonna

97
00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:23,440
Speaker 2: move on with Aaron Judge. We're gonna we're gonna go

98
00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:25,240
Speaker 2: wan So too instead, even though that's probably the better

99
00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:25,880
Speaker 2: baseball move.

100
00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:27,560
Speaker 1: I just think that's a tough sell.

101
00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:28,919
Speaker 2: I don't think we wouldn't get it done with the

102
00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:31,520
Speaker 2: Cold contract, the Stanton contract, and what they have on

103
00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:32,560
Speaker 2: the books for a couple of other guys.

104
00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:33,039
Speaker 1: It really don't.

105
00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:35,240
Speaker 4: Wonky in the chat said the thing that I've been

106
00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:37,320
Speaker 4: holding the most, like, can they really move him in

107
00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:38,080
Speaker 4: the NL East.

108
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:40,720
Speaker 3: I can't imagine they got to get him at divisionally. Now,

109
00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:41,400
Speaker 3: if they did.

110
00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:44,120
Speaker 2: That, that's overblown. With the extra wildcard now, I don't

111
00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:46,720
Speaker 2: need the division. I think the division stuff has been

112
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:52,599
Speaker 2: grossly devalued when you've added in more wildcard situations and

113
00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:54,800
Speaker 2: you expanded playoffs because now it's like, well, you know,

114
00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:57,679
Speaker 2: because they'll make the playoffs, Like, who cares about the division?

115
00:04:57,720 --> 00:05:00,360
Speaker 1: Let's get the best haul to me then, as Paul

116
00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:01,160
Speaker 1: right now.

117
00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:04,960
Speaker 4: Well, okay, I I think the Mets do offer if

118
00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:07,720
Speaker 4: Alvarez is out there. They have Alex Ramirez, They've got all.

119
00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:10,159
Speaker 4: They just drafted a kid in the draft who had

120
00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:15,040
Speaker 4: been targeted to the Nationals for months, Kevin Prada, who

121
00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:16,520
Speaker 4: is one of the best deeals of the draft.

122
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:17,359
Speaker 3: The Mets did.

123
00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:22,839
Speaker 4: And Georgia they think that no, no, that I no,

124
00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:25,320
Speaker 4: he's just gonna stay at catcher and he's got a

125
00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:28,000
Speaker 4: real mudo likeness to him, where Alvarez is going to

126
00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:29,919
Speaker 4: be more of a date or have two. So you

127
00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:32,360
Speaker 4: create an extra extra flexibility if you wanted to make

128
00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:34,800
Speaker 4: that move with a player that they love, trade Turner rule,

129
00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:36,760
Speaker 4: you could trade him, but it's got to be the

130
00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:38,120
Speaker 4: player to be named later, and.

131
00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:40,600
Speaker 3: It happens in the offseason. I think it is.

132
00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:44,360
Speaker 4: But I gotta tell you, I think you said ninety

133
00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:49,840
Speaker 4: nine percent by the deadline. I am a sixty fifty

134
00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:52,680
Speaker 4: to sixty percent at this deadline. I don't think they

135
00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:55,560
Speaker 4: need to make any crazy moves. Things can change easy.

136
00:05:55,839 --> 00:05:58,320
Speaker 4: If ownership can change over, I think that's creating some

137
00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:01,719
Speaker 4: of the craziness to it. I would say fifty percent

138
00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:05,360
Speaker 4: at best by the deadline, and I think the medsale.

139
00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:09,080
Speaker 2: Talk about ownership change, then it's one hundred percent, because

140
00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:11,760
Speaker 2: when you buy the team, you're gonna want to buy

141
00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:13,359
Speaker 2: it at a point where you have the least amount

142
00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:15,480
Speaker 2: of salary, and everything is then just.

143
00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:15,920
Speaker 1: Just pushed up there.

144
00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:16,320
Speaker 3: Yeah.

145
00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:18,800
Speaker 2: To me, ownership's looking at this is like, if we're

146
00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:20,760
Speaker 2: going to sell the team, we do it now, because

147
00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:24,200
Speaker 2: from the business of baseball, to me, that makes the

148
00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:26,560
Speaker 2: most sense. And I honestly think the Nats might be

149
00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:29,000
Speaker 2: a better team. And it's a year or tater now

150
00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:32,640
Speaker 2: with all those MLB ready prospects. You if you're gonna

151
00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:35,039
Speaker 2: put Alvarez at first base or d HM or whatever

152
00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:36,880
Speaker 2: the heck you're gonna do with him, if you're gonna

153
00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:38,560
Speaker 2: have a baby at third and he got Mauricio a

154
00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:40,240
Speaker 2: short stuff like all of a sudden, you know, with

155
00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:42,600
Speaker 2: kyber Ruiz and Josiah Gray and some of these other pieces,

156
00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:45,039
Speaker 2: maybe you're starting to get somewhere. If you're the Nats

157
00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:46,600
Speaker 2: and you have a good young team that's at least,

158
00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:48,560
Speaker 2: you're not going anywhere with just mon Sodo.

159
00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:49,080
Speaker 1: You're just not.

160
00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:51,480
Speaker 2: I mean it's the same thing with the Texas Rangers

161
00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:52,960
Speaker 2: Alex Rodriguez back in the day.

162
00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:53,520
Speaker 1: You're just not.

163
00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:55,919
Speaker 2: And I think this last one that it was so

164
00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:58,000
Speaker 2: public that he said no and they get it in season.

165
00:06:58,040 --> 00:06:59,560
Speaker 2: I think there was they were kind of like, look,

166
00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:01,520
Speaker 2: we need to or get off the pot here. And

167
00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:03,680
Speaker 2: I think they've gotten off the pot, and obviously it's

168
00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:04,600
Speaker 2: time to make that movement.

169
00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:05,840
Speaker 1: I think it's going to happen. It really did.

170
00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:07,640
Speaker 4: I mean, but they just offered him almost half a

171
00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:09,480
Speaker 4: billion dollars. So it's like, I think we're making a

172
00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:11,720
Speaker 4: little too much about like, oh, hey, this that the

173
00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:13,080
Speaker 4: other they would they would have to get rid of

174
00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:15,360
Speaker 4: the money offered half a billion dollars like a week ago.

175
00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:17,720
Speaker 4: So I don't think that just changes all of a sudden.

176
00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:21,119
Speaker 4: If the team believes they cannot get him, they should

177
00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:23,800
Speaker 4: go out and they should get a haul. They should

178
00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:26,200
Speaker 4: at least especially with a control. And that's this is

179
00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:29,840
Speaker 4: where you're talking about. This is two sides. The twenty

180
00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:32,600
Speaker 4: twenty four control for Soto makes the asset you can

181
00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:35,520
Speaker 4: get at this deadline exponential but I'd also say at

182
00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:37,160
Speaker 4: the beginning of next year, in this offseason.

183
00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:39,440
Speaker 3: Both of those are the time periods where.

184
00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:41,240
Speaker 4: Teams aren't going to be able to talk you off

185
00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:45,160
Speaker 4: the ledge of like you know, Alvarez and three other big.

186
00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:46,000
Speaker 3: Prospects for the Mets.

187
00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:48,240
Speaker 4: But at the same time, this is why I think

188
00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:49,960
Speaker 4: it's a less percentage that it's going to be at

189
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:51,920
Speaker 4: the deadline, is because you still have two more years

190
00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:54,760
Speaker 4: of control. So much can change in that time that

191
00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:56,320
Speaker 4: I just don't know if it's a case, though. It

192
00:07:56,360 --> 00:07:58,679
Speaker 4: is interesting if you look. They went and took Elijah Green,

193
00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:03,280
Speaker 4: who was a huge high school talent, is relatively far away,

194
00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:04,560
Speaker 4: you know, three or four years.

195
00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:06,280
Speaker 3: He would be a great piece.

196
00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:09,320
Speaker 4: If you added four or five incredible prospects, that National

197
00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:11,360
Speaker 4: system could go from a joke to being like a

198
00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:14,320
Speaker 4: really solid spot. Elijah Green would be one of those

199
00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:17,320
Speaker 4: future talents you build around. So not that it's telling

200
00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:19,240
Speaker 4: you take the best players, you don't worry about it,

201
00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:21,640
Speaker 4: but you know, the Nationals didn't take Parata.

202
00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:23,680
Speaker 3: Who is a closer to the major league spot. They

203
00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:24,840
Speaker 3: took a high.

204
00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:28,560
Speaker 4: School, huge, high end talent, shoot for the moon type

205
00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:30,720
Speaker 4: of guy that you would want if soda wasn't around,

206
00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:33,079
Speaker 4: But I say fifty percent by the deadline, I'd say

207
00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:34,440
Speaker 4: it's more likely in the off season.

208
00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:37,360
Speaker 3: And I as much as the Mets makes sense, I'm

209
00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:38,680
Speaker 3: going to off season.

210
00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:41,280
Speaker 2: You run that off season risk, dude, I'm telling you

211
00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:42,160
Speaker 2: run the off season.

212
00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:43,960
Speaker 1: If the longer you wait.

213
00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:47,480
Speaker 2: I mean, the cautionary tale is Frankie Montoss Right now,

214
00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:50,000
Speaker 2: if you're you have, if you're the Nationals, you have

215
00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:52,040
Speaker 2: to say, look what could happened in the blink of

216
00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:53,360
Speaker 2: an eye, all of a sudden, what we thought was

217
00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:55,240
Speaker 2: an asset we could cash in and change, you know,

218
00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:58,280
Speaker 2: the stars here a little bit of the future literally

219
00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:01,880
Speaker 2: and figuratively. Man Like, how do you do that? How

220
00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:04,600
Speaker 2: do you how do you run that risk? Because you

221
00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:07,320
Speaker 2: can't have that? And and look, Wan Soto to me

222
00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:09,640
Speaker 2: makes sense. On the Dodgers, I think that's the other

223
00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:10,720
Speaker 2: team that makes a lot of sense.

224
00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:12,640
Speaker 3: That's that's my team. That's not a lot.

225
00:09:12,679 --> 00:09:15,480
Speaker 2: I mean, the Bets and Freeman contracts are huge and

226
00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:16,480
Speaker 2: long and difficult.

227
00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:18,480
Speaker 1: I mean, so I don't know how they do it though.

228
00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:21,360
Speaker 3: That's my problem. I don't see how it's done with

229
00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:22,080
Speaker 3: the Dodgers.

230
00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:24,520
Speaker 2: With don't that's why I keep coming back to the Mets,

231
00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:26,960
Speaker 2: and believe me them who's more negative than me about

232
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:27,320
Speaker 2: the Mets?

233
00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:30,480
Speaker 1: Nobody? And it just makes sense. They want to pay him.

234
00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:32,200
Speaker 2: They have the prospects, they have the need, they have

235
00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:35,880
Speaker 2: the owner who is so aggressive out there, why not?

236
00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:38,920
Speaker 2: Why not, you know, go out there and they smell

237
00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:40,480
Speaker 2: blood in the water. They are all in right now.

238
00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:43,599
Speaker 2: De Grom could opt out next year and all of

239
00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:45,760
Speaker 2: a sudden, it's a very different math. If you have

240
00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:47,520
Speaker 2: de Grom insures it right now, you go all in.

241
00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:49,080
Speaker 2: You try to win right now if you're the Mets,

242
00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:50,840
Speaker 2: and I think they're going to and I think and

243
00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:53,720
Speaker 2: I don't think the indivision matters anymore now that the

244
00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:54,760
Speaker 2: expanded playoffs are here.

245
00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:56,160
Speaker 1: I just don't think anybody cares.

246
00:09:56,400 --> 00:09:58,480
Speaker 4: The advantage that Sodo could have in this as well

247
00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:01,840
Speaker 4: is he's not willing to take any backloaded contract with

248
00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:05,520
Speaker 4: the Nationals. I think, for like rightful reasons, he could

249
00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:07,360
Speaker 4: do that with another team. You know, it seemed like

250
00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:09,800
Speaker 4: the Dodgers or the Mets that have shown a commitment

251
00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:13,320
Speaker 4: to winning, a commitment to money, he could be willing on,

252
00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:16,560
Speaker 4: you know, some gajillion dollar deal that he does he

253
00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:19,959
Speaker 4: could be willing to backload, so the first three or

254
00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:22,600
Speaker 4: four years are quite a bit less, which could help

255
00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:24,800
Speaker 4: a team like the Dodgers and trying to figure out

256
00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:26,360
Speaker 4: how the hell did they put all these players together.

257
00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:30,440
Speaker 2: By the way, Bets and Freeman are probably backloaded too,

258
00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:32,520
Speaker 2: So I mean, it's gonna be real ugly when those guys.

259
00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:33,640
Speaker 4: Are they to get out from out of those But

260
00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:35,199
Speaker 4: I just want to point out the Dodgers the first

261
00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:37,680
Speaker 4: round pick because they didn't care about the luxury tax

262
00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:38,440
Speaker 4: in this past draft.

263
00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:39,679
Speaker 3: They didn't have a first round of them to pick

264
00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:41,720
Speaker 3: till the fourtieth overall, because how many.

265
00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:43,600
Speaker 2: Times are going to do that? How many years can

266
00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:45,240
Speaker 2: you do that if you're the Dodgers.

267
00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:47,520
Speaker 4: If you're putting out banners as many as it takes,

268
00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:51,000
Speaker 4: I don't know. Then he just bought a mansion too.

269
00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:52,760
Speaker 4: You have to put those two games together, Joe. He

270
00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:55,000
Speaker 4: bought a mansion in La So clearly it's the Dodgers.

271
00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:57,160
Speaker 2: Well, I mean, you could buy a mansion in LA

272
00:10:57,200 --> 00:10:59,280
Speaker 2: for real estate anyway, Like I said, like who cares,

273
00:10:59,480 --> 00:10:59,640
Speaker 2: you know?

274
00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:02,040
Speaker 1: And you can live out there in La. I don't

275
00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:03,000
Speaker 1: in the winter time.

276
00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:05,400
Speaker 2: That's also the place you want to live in the

277
00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:09,200
Speaker 2: off season, you know, no matter where you want to stay. Look, man,

278
00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:11,280
Speaker 2: I do think it's one of these big market cubs.

279
00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:13,600
Speaker 2: I don't think the Cardinals have the pieces to get

280
00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:16,080
Speaker 2: it done. And they're paying Aeronauto and Goldschmid like I don't.

281
00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:17,040
Speaker 2: I think that's a fallacy.

282
00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:17,560
Speaker 1: I really do.

283
00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:19,480
Speaker 2: I think it's the Mets, the Yankees, the Dodgers to

284
00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:20,360
Speaker 2: piss a lot of people off.

285
00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:22,160
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I just do. And I think the Mets

286
00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:23,400
Speaker 1: have the best opportunity.

287
00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:26,840
Speaker 2: And I think the other cautionary tale here is if

288
00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:29,280
Speaker 2: you're the Nats and you let Bryce Harper walk and

289
00:11:29,320 --> 00:11:31,400
Speaker 2: you end up signing with the Phillies anyway, don't you

290
00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:34,000
Speaker 2: regret if you could have gotten a better deal from somebody.

291
00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:36,080
Speaker 1: In the East not making that move? Right.

292
00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:38,720
Speaker 2: So, if it's gonna happen, if you let Wansoto hit

293
00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:40,719
Speaker 2: free agency and Steve Cohen writes a check for half

294
00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:42,880
Speaker 2: a billion dollars and says, I don't really care, it's

295
00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:44,040
Speaker 2: just paper money.

296
00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:46,839
Speaker 1: To me, you might as well get the Hall. You

297
00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:48,000
Speaker 1: might get the Hall.

298
00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:51,000
Speaker 4: Divisional reminders, I mean divisions of like al NL is

299
00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:54,960
Speaker 4: a lot less now, but like having in division like yours.

300
00:11:55,520 --> 00:11:57,560
Speaker 3: I just I think it's a wild move.

301
00:11:57,720 --> 00:11:59,880
Speaker 4: I would be shocked at a superstar of this caliber

302
00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:02,880
Speaker 4: to be just shipped over to the Mets. Unless again,

303
00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:06,640
Speaker 4: unless they absolutely were able to fleece them. Unless you're

304
00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:08,880
Speaker 4: going to back and all of them. If they back

305
00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:11,360
Speaker 4: up all the Alvarezes, and they back up all the

306
00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:14,600
Speaker 4: process the Alvarezes, any of this is a Richie Sexon

307
00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:17,640
Speaker 4: like deal, but of good prospects. Okay, then maybe that's

308
00:12:17,679 --> 00:12:19,760
Speaker 4: the thing that it takes. I think the Mets are

309
00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:22,040
Speaker 4: going to have to pay an extra cost that any

310
00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:24,920
Speaker 4: other team will to get one Sodo, and they'll take

311
00:12:24,920 --> 00:12:26,440
Speaker 4: the contract back.

312
00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:28,800
Speaker 2: With them too, because they need a DH anyway, So

313
00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:31,400
Speaker 2: they'll take that money off their hands too. It'll be

314
00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:33,800
Speaker 2: Cruz and Sodo. They need a DH in the worst way.

315
00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:36,040
Speaker 2: Maybe you get a little bump out of Cruise. I'm

316
00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:37,760
Speaker 2: telling you right, And you take that contract off their

317
00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:39,800
Speaker 2: hands and any other money any other the guy that

318
00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:42,400
Speaker 2: they don't want its arbitration eligible. You take the Patrick

319
00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:45,320
Speaker 2: Corbin contract off their hands. They're not taking the Strasburg contract,

320
00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:48,200
Speaker 2: but they might take Corbin that. It wouldn't shock me

321
00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:50,200
Speaker 2: if they took that whatever it has to get done.

322
00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:51,880
Speaker 2: Stevie Cohen will get it done. I'm just telling you

323
00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:55,600
Speaker 2: and just for everybody to know too. Yes, eleven am

324
00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:58,560
Speaker 2: all this week here and leading off great conversations about

325
00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:00,640
Speaker 2: Wan Soda. We'll get into other top today. But it's

326
00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:02,320
Speaker 2: such a huge one and it's so much damn fun.

327
00:13:02,679 --> 00:13:05,400
Speaker 2: I want to talk about it all day, but yes,

328
00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:07,520
Speaker 2: all week. It's my fault. My kids have camp, so

329
00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:09,480
Speaker 2: I have to pick them up at twelve and there's

330
00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:12,199
Speaker 2: two different kids at two different camps, So eleven am

331
00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:16,080
Speaker 2: is the time. This week, the Mariners continued to be amazing.

332
00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:18,280
Speaker 2: They are up to a fourteen game win streak, the

333
00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:20,200
Speaker 2: longest streak heading into an All Star Game in quite

334
00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:23,319
Speaker 2: some time. Garrett Cole got twelve k's over seven innings.

335
00:13:23,559 --> 00:13:26,120
Speaker 2: Brendan Lao went four for four with a run score,

336
00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:27,800
Speaker 2: so it's good for that raised offense to get his

337
00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:30,400
Speaker 2: bat back going in the lineup. Austin Noah struck out

338
00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:32,720
Speaker 2: ten guys at eight and the third innings. Ty Frantz

339
00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:35,240
Speaker 2: added to the All Star team, and along with Liam Hendricks,

340
00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:37,400
Speaker 2: a few other relievers I think I saw Jordan Romano

341
00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:40,880
Speaker 2: and Devin Williams also added and Max Meyer.

342
00:13:40,760 --> 00:13:43,920
Speaker 1: Made his debut. It was not a pretty one. Five runs.

343
00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:45,880
Speaker 1: I don't care. It's fine.

344
00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:48,480
Speaker 2: And also, as predicted here on the show, last week,

345
00:13:48,520 --> 00:13:51,400
Speaker 2: Spencer Torklsen was sent down. So let's talk about Torklesen

346
00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:53,480
Speaker 2: getting sent down to the minor leagues before we get

347
00:13:53,520 --> 00:13:54,880
Speaker 2: into the MLB draft stuff.

348
00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:56,800
Speaker 1: I mean, this is the right move.

349
00:13:56,600 --> 00:13:58,440
Speaker 2: Give I told you, give him the rest of July

350
00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:01,280
Speaker 2: and if it's and if it's going, well, call him

351
00:14:01,280 --> 00:14:02,200
Speaker 2: back up August first.

352
00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:03,839
Speaker 1: I mean, this is so easy, well right.

353
00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:06,880
Speaker 4: Here, yeah, I mean this Unfortunately, this is a move.

354
00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:10,959
Speaker 4: It feels very Kelnick like massive massive. I mean, nobody

355
00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:14,720
Speaker 4: has struggled more under two hundred batting average this entire

356
00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:17,959
Speaker 4: time he's been up. He's shown really no great sense

357
00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:21,240
Speaker 4: of power because he's not making great contact. Strike up

358
00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:23,400
Speaker 4: percentage isn't the worst thing in the world, but he's

359
00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:26,280
Speaker 4: got to re establish something and hopefully they've got the

360
00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:28,800
Speaker 4: hitting coaches to work on this and the miners. I

361
00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:33,120
Speaker 4: don't know, man, I'm cautiously optimistic. I suppose the Kelnick stuff,

362
00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:36,240
Speaker 4: you know, has me a little bit jaded on him

363
00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:40,000
Speaker 4: going into the miners and beating everything up. Maybe a

364
00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:43,320
Speaker 4: clean headspace is going to help. But Torkelsen is not

365
00:14:43,560 --> 00:14:46,480
Speaker 4: a priority in redraft this year. He might be an

366
00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:51,040
Speaker 4: incredibly interesting super pilow in Dynasty. I would not count

367
00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:53,720
Speaker 4: him out. I mean, there is thirty five forty plus

368
00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:57,200
Speaker 4: power in there, and you know he made it absolutely

369
00:14:57,160 --> 00:14:59,320
Speaker 4: living in career off of this at ASU and college.

370
00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:01,280
Speaker 4: I mean, you know him and Andrew vaugh where you know,

371
00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:03,320
Speaker 4: two of the most prolific bats, not just in like

372
00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:04,880
Speaker 4: the Pac twelve, but just in all of it.

373
00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:07,480
Speaker 3: But I would say this would be a.

374
00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:10,720
Speaker 4: Really interesting buy by low. But in redraft there's a

375
00:15:10,760 --> 00:15:13,800
Speaker 4: gagillion players I would have moved on from. If you haven't,

376
00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:16,600
Speaker 4: I'm assuming everybody has. But there's always that thing where

377
00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:18,800
Speaker 4: you don't want to release these guys. He is not

378
00:15:18,920 --> 00:15:20,760
Speaker 4: in the same camp as Julio and j Rudd.

379
00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:24,400
Speaker 2: Unfortunately, Chriselle headed back to the IL for many, many weeks,

380
00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:25,800
Speaker 2: probably with a broken pinky finger.

381
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:29,280
Speaker 1: Just a terrible set of circums. His quote, Yeah, I

382
00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:30,440
Speaker 1: heard him after the game too.

383
00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:32,000
Speaker 3: I don't think we can I don't think we can

384
00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:32,800
Speaker 3: mention it on here.

385
00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:36,240
Speaker 4: We can't say it will just be like beep this

386
00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:41,840
Speaker 4: stuff beep beep, beep, beep like a muppet. Yeah, well,

387
00:15:41,880 --> 00:15:45,400
Speaker 4: actually I have it here because it's part for the course.

388
00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:48,160
Speaker 3: Think about it. Think about my timeline. It's just been

389
00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:51,800
Speaker 3: blank after blank after blank, just more blank to deal with.

390
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:54,400
Speaker 3: He's a positive guy, you bet, he's a fun locker around.

391
00:15:54,360 --> 00:15:56,800
Speaker 1: Well, it's it's hard not to mean he's frustrated. I

392
00:15:56,840 --> 00:15:58,400
Speaker 1: get it. I mean he wants to be playing baseball.

393
00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:00,840
Speaker 1: He can't do. It's very frustrating.

394
00:16:01,320 --> 00:16:04,320
Speaker 2: Harold Ramirez removed from Sunday's game due to a broken

395
00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:06,840
Speaker 2: right thumb, so he'll be out for a while. So obviously,

396
00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:10,200
Speaker 2: you know, Ramire has actually been pretty decent for that squad.

397
00:16:10,280 --> 00:16:11,520
Speaker 2: Now all of a sudden he's going to be out

398
00:16:11,560 --> 00:16:13,440
Speaker 2: for a while, and so Wander Franco is still going

399
00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:15,880
Speaker 2: to be out for a while. A's manager Marcaste said

400
00:16:15,880 --> 00:16:18,560
Speaker 2: Sunday if Frankie Montagh shoulder responded, really.

401
00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:21,480
Speaker 1: Well, everything was great, Everything's so good. Everything's fine. It's fine.

402
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:24,960
Speaker 2: It's like Han Solo in a New Hope, where he's like,

403
00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:28,680
Speaker 2: it's everything's fine, fine, how are you? That's that's they're

404
00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:32,080
Speaker 2: in the detention area. That's what's happening right now to them.

405
00:16:32,440 --> 00:16:36,760
Speaker 2: We had a provocative discussion Welsh about Mike Trout on

406
00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:39,560
Speaker 2: Sunday on the TV show because the question was asked,

407
00:16:39,920 --> 00:16:42,240
Speaker 2: is Mike Trout still a top ten player in baseball?

408
00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:44,920
Speaker 2: And I and I thought that was you know, at first,

409
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:47,000
Speaker 2: I went, well, I think we have to dive into

410
00:16:47,080 --> 00:16:48,880
Speaker 2: it and ask so I want to I want to

411
00:16:48,920 --> 00:16:50,440
Speaker 2: pose this for you here. I want to I want

412
00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:54,120
Speaker 2: to do this with you here the guys very easily.

413
00:16:54,160 --> 00:16:56,080
Speaker 2: I think that you would probably take over Mike Trout

414
00:16:56,080 --> 00:16:58,000
Speaker 2: in the next two years, right, I think you still

415
00:16:58,000 --> 00:16:58,240
Speaker 2: want to.

416
00:16:58,200 --> 00:17:02,240
Speaker 3: Be talk fantasy, right, tuck fantasy slash reality? Yeah, because

417
00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:04,360
Speaker 3: how you phrase that, I feel like slacking real.

418
00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:06,000
Speaker 2: He's still a top ten player. I mean, if you're

419
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:07,520
Speaker 2: a top ten player in baseball, you're a top ten

420
00:17:07,560 --> 00:17:09,920
Speaker 2: player in fantasy pretty much. I think that kind of

421
00:17:09,960 --> 00:17:12,000
Speaker 2: goes hand in hand for the most part. Would you

422
00:17:12,080 --> 00:17:14,840
Speaker 2: rather have Wan Soto? I think the answer is yes,

423
00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:17,200
Speaker 2: Wan Soto? Right, you rather have.

424
00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:22,200
Speaker 1: Where are we at there? My God?

425
00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:23,480
Speaker 2: Having a brain for here, the guy I wanted to

426
00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:27,320
Speaker 2: talk about here. Would you rather have Shoeotani his teammate?

427
00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:30,400
Speaker 1: Yes? Probably right, yes, of course pitcher and hitter. Would

428
00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:31,840
Speaker 1: you rather have? Uh?

429
00:17:31,880 --> 00:17:33,720
Speaker 2: Now, let's go to the list of the guys that

430
00:17:33,760 --> 00:17:36,520
Speaker 2: are questions in that sense, in these young players, Lad

431
00:17:36,520 --> 00:17:39,879
Speaker 2: Guerrero Junior. Would rather have Vlad Guro Junior than Trout

432
00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:41,040
Speaker 2: the next two years?

433
00:17:41,320 --> 00:17:48,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, Aaron Judge, Oh yes, right, that's a tough one,

434
00:17:48,840 --> 00:17:49,280
Speaker 4: I think so.

435
00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:51,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm I'm thinking in Dynasty.

436
00:17:51,320 --> 00:17:53,240
Speaker 2: My brain, the old diverse, would you rather have the

437
00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:54,920
Speaker 2: next two years than Mike Trout?

438
00:17:56,200 --> 00:17:58,480
Speaker 1: That's a big yes for me. Was a Ramrrors would

439
00:17:58,480 --> 00:17:59,520
Speaker 1: you rather have him?

440
00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:00,000
Speaker 3: Yeah?

441
00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:01,240
Speaker 1: Okay, so we're up.

442
00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:03,679
Speaker 2: Till like five six, So now we're getting closer, so

443
00:18:03,760 --> 00:18:05,879
Speaker 2: he's closer to being a tent now where it's like, okay,

444
00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:08,440
Speaker 2: Fernando Tatist Junior, who we haven't seen all year.

445
00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:11,119
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, Kunia Tatis Mark Cunia.

446
00:18:11,600 --> 00:18:14,280
Speaker 2: Okay, So basically we're pushing almost a ten here without

447
00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:15,640
Speaker 2: any pitchers or anything like that.

448
00:18:16,280 --> 00:18:17,560
Speaker 1: I think this is a true statement.

449
00:18:18,119 --> 00:18:20,480
Speaker 2: I mean, the back issues, the strikeouts, everything that's going

450
00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:23,480
Speaker 2: on here with Trout. This is the normal peak of

451
00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:25,560
Speaker 2: a player twenty eight to thirty, but because of the

452
00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:28,399
Speaker 2: style played Mike Trout had. My whole point was I

453
00:18:28,520 --> 00:18:31,199
Speaker 2: Trout's at a point where I don't want to say

454
00:18:31,200 --> 00:18:32,840
Speaker 2: he's on the down side, but he's certainly not the

455
00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:34,879
Speaker 2: same player he was in his early twenties. The style

456
00:18:34,960 --> 00:18:36,880
Speaker 2: of play, how hardy played in the field, how hardy

457
00:18:36,920 --> 00:18:41,320
Speaker 2: played on the bass pass. You know, Mike Trout is

458
00:18:41,359 --> 00:18:43,440
Speaker 2: a twenty five, twenty six, twenty seven year old player.

459
00:18:43,480 --> 00:18:45,600
Speaker 2: Mike Trout in his thirties is a very different player.

460
00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:47,359
Speaker 2: And I think this is a real question we have

461
00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:49,159
Speaker 2: to ask ourselves. And this was the biggest one, and

462
00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:52,920
Speaker 2: Bizirizigizza just beat us to it. Julio Rodriguez or Mike

463
00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:54,160
Speaker 2: Trout the next two years.

464
00:18:54,359 --> 00:18:57,960
Speaker 3: I want Julio in Dynasty, Julio I have above.

465
00:18:58,040 --> 00:18:59,760
Speaker 1: In real life. I want Julio. I think he's a

466
00:18:59,760 --> 00:19:01,840
Speaker 1: better defender at this point in his career.

467
00:19:03,800 --> 00:19:03,919
Speaker 2: Too.

468
00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:04,600
Speaker 1: Let's be honest.

469
00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:06,760
Speaker 4: I mean, I do think we're we're doing the bit though,

470
00:19:06,800 --> 00:19:09,080
Speaker 4: we're doing this Mic Trout bit that has been done

471
00:19:09,160 --> 00:19:11,919
Speaker 4: for the last four years, where everyone's like, you know, is.

472
00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:14,600
Speaker 3: Microut really valuable? Like we really still love him, he's.

473
00:19:14,560 --> 00:19:16,720
Speaker 1: The vlleable Like is he a top ten player anymore?

474
00:19:16,880 --> 00:19:17,080
Speaker 3: Yeah?

475
00:19:17,119 --> 00:19:19,679
Speaker 2: No, But I think ourselves in Dynasty, if he's not

476
00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:21,480
Speaker 2: a top ten player, and I can get one of

477
00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:23,200
Speaker 2: these guys that we're talking about in a Mike Trout

478
00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:24,080
Speaker 2: deal that take it.

479
00:19:24,440 --> 00:19:25,879
Speaker 3: Yeah, we're in a bigger space of that. Now.

480
00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:28,040
Speaker 4: He's thirty one years old. Guys have played one hundred

481
00:19:28,080 --> 00:19:31,720
Speaker 4: and fifty games since twenty sixteen. He's a couple of

482
00:19:31,800 --> 00:19:34,560
Speaker 4: years removed from an incredible season. But we're just not

483
00:19:34,680 --> 00:19:37,639
Speaker 4: seeing I mean, if you space everything out, if you

484
00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:40,240
Speaker 4: space out and you pace this, he's still putting up

485
00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:43,480
Speaker 4: incredible numbers. He just does not steal bases at any

486
00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:46,840
Speaker 4: clip anymore. He hasn't stolen double digits since twenty nineteen,

487
00:19:47,480 --> 00:19:50,359
Speaker 4: and he doesn't look like he's remotely close on pace

488
00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:50,719
Speaker 4: to it.

489
00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:52,119
Speaker 3: So he's a different player.

490
00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:55,200
Speaker 4: He's still, let's not get it twisted though, he's still

491
00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:59,560
Speaker 4: like an elite three category player that pushes a fourth

492
00:19:59,560 --> 00:20:02,520
Speaker 4: with batting average. He's just a nothing burger on stolen bases,

493
00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:06,840
Speaker 4: which makes like Trout versus Jordan Alvarez another fascinating one,

494
00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:09,840
Speaker 4: and that wouldn't have been remotely close to me even

495
00:20:09,880 --> 00:20:10,560
Speaker 4: coming into this year.

496
00:20:10,600 --> 00:20:12,320
Speaker 3: I'd rather have Alvarez, but now.

497
00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:15,560
Speaker 4: I agree like Alvarez is also a four category player

498
00:20:15,720 --> 00:20:19,440
Speaker 4: who's surprisingly staying healthy. Batting average looks even better and

499
00:20:19,960 --> 00:20:22,640
Speaker 4: I would be comfortable taking Alvarez over him at this point,

500
00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:25,480
Speaker 4: which changed. But I'm just saying, like, I think the

501
00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:28,200
Speaker 4: tier in the clump of what we're talking about is

502
00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:30,880
Speaker 4: a much bigger pool where it wasn't coming into this year.

503
00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:33,040
Speaker 3: I think it was like you had the Akunya.

504
00:20:32,640 --> 00:20:37,520
Speaker 4: Tatis Soto, Tawny Vlad maybe throw Ramirez Trout and there's

505
00:20:37,560 --> 00:20:39,800
Speaker 4: like eight guys. This has now turned into this like

506
00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:43,520
Speaker 4: sixteen pool of guys that you're like, wow, these are

507
00:20:43,560 --> 00:20:44,880
Speaker 4: all great, Like you could start.

508
00:20:44,760 --> 00:20:49,480
Speaker 2: Arguing Bobby witt On, like there's some other guys on

509
00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:52,320
Speaker 2: that fringe there that you could ask the question as well.

510
00:20:52,960 --> 00:20:53,879
Speaker 1: And there's some other guys too.

511
00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:56,800
Speaker 2: There established guys in there, you know, late twenties, early

512
00:20:56,800 --> 00:20:59,760
Speaker 2: thirty guys like gold Schmitt and Pee Alonso. Who would

513
00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:03,080
Speaker 2: you rab have next two years, pet Alonso or Mike Trout.

514
00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:04,240
Speaker 3: I'll go Mike Trout.

515
00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:07,480
Speaker 1: Pete Alonso is leading the league in RBI, no I know,

516
00:21:07,560 --> 00:21:09,040
Speaker 1: and he's.

517
00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:12,080
Speaker 3: It's super easy for us to be.

518
00:21:12,119 --> 00:21:14,680
Speaker 4: Like, we're gonna take everybody over Mike Trout when their

519
00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:17,760
Speaker 4: team is in the biggest struggle bus ever, in the

520
00:21:17,760 --> 00:21:20,159
Speaker 4: biggest bus ever, When is he I mean, that's a

521
00:21:20,160 --> 00:21:21,080
Speaker 4: great that's a great point.

522
00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:22,760
Speaker 2: Like at a certain point, when do we just call

523
00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:24,120
Speaker 2: the angels what they are and how do we see

524
00:21:24,119 --> 00:21:25,639
Speaker 2: it getting better in the next two years, Because I

525
00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:26,200
Speaker 2: don't see it.

526
00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:29,520
Speaker 4: Whoda rather Aving Dynasty, Mike Trout or Bryce Harper. There

527
00:21:30,080 --> 00:21:32,680
Speaker 4: there's a year difference. There's only by the way, okay.

528
00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:35,040
Speaker 2: Harper, But I've always been a Harper guy, very very

529
00:21:35,080 --> 00:21:37,520
Speaker 2: pro Harper compared to the rest of the field. All right,

530
00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:41,240
Speaker 2: let's talk about the MLB draft last night. It did happen,

531
00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:44,200
Speaker 2: and the first overall pick was son of former Major

532
00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:49,640
Speaker 2: leaguer Matt Holliday and Little Debbie snack cake sponsor Jackson Holiday,

533
00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:51,560
Speaker 2: obviously the spokesperson for a Little Debbie.

534
00:21:51,560 --> 00:21:53,800
Speaker 1: There, Jackson Holiday.

535
00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:56,920
Speaker 3: I've never seen someone look younger.

536
00:21:57,000 --> 00:21:59,680
Speaker 4: I've never felt older than that moment, because we all,

537
00:21:59,760 --> 00:22:01,879
Speaker 4: like you struggle with that whole age thing and stuff

538
00:22:01,920 --> 00:22:02,280
Speaker 4: like that.

539
00:22:02,840 --> 00:22:04,240
Speaker 3: My god, if that.

540
00:22:04,320 --> 00:22:06,119
Speaker 2: Was Little Debbie's and he knows it, I would be

541
00:22:06,160 --> 00:22:08,040
Speaker 2: all over Jackson Holiday. I was like, look, we want

542
00:22:08,040 --> 00:22:09,800
Speaker 2: to make you the new face of the snackcakes, like

543
00:22:09,800 --> 00:22:11,439
Speaker 2: the zebra cakes, the oatmeal pies.

544
00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:13,960
Speaker 3: But you're as your dad for permission.

545
00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:16,240
Speaker 2: Though you're asking either dad to sign this permission slip,

546
00:22:16,560 --> 00:22:18,080
Speaker 2: have your mom drive you over here.

547
00:22:18,119 --> 00:22:22,320
Speaker 1: He looks. It's unbelievable. But here's the question.

548
00:22:22,400 --> 00:22:25,840
Speaker 2: Drew Jones went second, which I thought he was the

549
00:22:25,880 --> 00:22:27,960
Speaker 2: best player in the draft. He went to the Diamondbacks.

550
00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:30,600
Speaker 2: I'm sure Bogman is just ecstatic about that. I assume

551
00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:31,360
Speaker 2: you are as well.

552
00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:35,439
Speaker 4: Here's about Bogman, who cares about what I was ecstatic

553
00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:35,879
Speaker 4: about it.

554
00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:37,240
Speaker 3: That was all that I wanted.

555
00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:39,600
Speaker 1: That's all that you wanted was your and you got it.

556
00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:41,680
Speaker 1: So why did why you Joe not.

557
00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:44,240
Speaker 3: The one fan of the world because of money? Because

558
00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:46,120
Speaker 3: well as you were just.

559
00:22:46,040 --> 00:22:48,720
Speaker 2: A pure Diamondbacks fan or if you had other allegiances,

560
00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:49,840
Speaker 2: I always forgot that.

561
00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:52,720
Speaker 3: Base Well, I love baseball. I love baseball in general.

562
00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:54,080
Speaker 2: You know, like there's some people that have like an

563
00:22:54,080 --> 00:22:56,159
Speaker 2: American League team in the National League team, where like

564
00:22:56,240 --> 00:22:58,960
Speaker 2: they moved so they weren't always like a Diamondback fan,

565
00:22:59,040 --> 00:23:00,080
Speaker 2: like I never remembered if.

566
00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:02,120
Speaker 1: You were at just straight up d Backs.

567
00:23:02,520 --> 00:23:04,879
Speaker 4: I am a straight up said, I'm a straight up

568
00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:06,000
Speaker 4: Arizona Diamback guy.

569
00:23:06,119 --> 00:23:07,359
Speaker 3: That incredible draft.

570
00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:11,120
Speaker 4: You know, I actually said money and I incorrectly said

571
00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:14,600
Speaker 4: that because what has come out is that he's gonna

572
00:23:14,600 --> 00:23:17,040
Speaker 4: get Holiday's gonna get over eight million dollars, So there

573
00:23:17,200 --> 00:23:20,400
Speaker 4: might be like a five hundred, eight hundred thousand dollars deal,

574
00:23:21,040 --> 00:23:23,840
Speaker 4: but they've felt the talent was there full five tools

575
00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:28,280
Speaker 4: continuously got better, which okay, maybe that's the case, but

576
00:23:28,440 --> 00:23:31,159
Speaker 4: I think Drew Jones was the ultimate talent.

577
00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:32,240
Speaker 3: The guy's gonna fill out.

578
00:23:32,320 --> 00:23:34,760
Speaker 4: You're easily gonna be able to put on twenty five

579
00:23:34,920 --> 00:23:38,000
Speaker 4: plus of muscle onto his frame. He has not grown

580
00:23:38,040 --> 00:23:39,840
Speaker 4: out like some of these guys. Tamar Johnson is a

581
00:23:39,880 --> 00:23:42,800
Speaker 4: kid that's like already pre filled out. Both of these

582
00:23:42,840 --> 00:23:46,240
Speaker 4: guys are five tool players, just and IL say Andrew Jones.

583
00:23:46,280 --> 00:23:48,560
Speaker 4: But Drew Jones is the player that I would be,

584
00:23:48,640 --> 00:23:50,360
Speaker 4: you know, putting my hopes onto. I think he's got

585
00:23:50,400 --> 00:23:54,199
Speaker 4: massive power that I'm not sure Holiday has one hundred percent.

586
00:23:54,440 --> 00:23:57,720
Speaker 4: But both their five tool guys, and I mean nothing though,

587
00:23:58,200 --> 00:24:00,720
Speaker 4: led to the shock of the third round, the third

588
00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:05,200
Speaker 4: overall pick, which I well, I had got rumors on Joe, right, let's.

589
00:24:05,040 --> 00:24:05,560
Speaker 1: Talk about that.

590
00:24:05,720 --> 00:24:07,560
Speaker 4: So I did a live stream for the draft and

591
00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:10,760
Speaker 4: I mentioned this about five minutes before it happened with

592
00:24:10,960 --> 00:24:11,639
Speaker 4: Kumar Rocker.

593
00:24:12,119 --> 00:24:13,000
Speaker 1: Well, what's so funny?

594
00:24:13,040 --> 00:24:15,920
Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, the son of you know, Matt Holliday,

595
00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:18,080
Speaker 2: the son of Andrew Jones and the son of John Rocker.

596
00:24:18,160 --> 00:24:18,440
Speaker 1: All gain.

597
00:24:18,600 --> 00:24:20,400
Speaker 3: I saw that tweet. I saw that.

598
00:24:21,040 --> 00:24:22,440
Speaker 1: I love that. It's so funny.

599
00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:25,440
Speaker 2: But Kamar Rocker, who the Mets elected and then didn't pay,

600
00:24:25,480 --> 00:24:27,240
Speaker 2: and then he went back to independent league and now

601
00:24:27,280 --> 00:24:31,040
Speaker 2: he is reunited with his former teammate from Vanderbilt, Jack Lighter,

602
00:24:31,160 --> 00:24:33,560
Speaker 2: in the Texas Rangers organization. So they went all in here.

603
00:24:33,600 --> 00:24:35,600
Speaker 2: So was this a good pick a bad pick? He

604
00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:38,239
Speaker 2: was ranked thirty eighth as a prospect, so why did

605
00:24:38,320 --> 00:24:38,760
Speaker 2: this happen?

606
00:24:38,800 --> 00:24:42,320
Speaker 3: Well, oh that the thirty eight stuff, It's simply about.

607
00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:43,960
Speaker 3: People were split.

608
00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:47,919
Speaker 4: Half didn't like, we're worried about the injury stuff, that

609
00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:51,680
Speaker 4: he wasn't revealing everything. The other half absolutely loved him.

610
00:24:51,720 --> 00:24:54,600
Speaker 4: So you were a lover hate on Kumar Rocker. I

611
00:24:54,600 --> 00:24:57,760
Speaker 4: think he's the best pitcher in this draft. Best slider,

612
00:24:57,840 --> 00:25:00,280
Speaker 4: absolutely dominant slider, can go deep into games. As a

613
00:25:00,320 --> 00:25:03,760
Speaker 4: track record, he came back in an independent ball, had

614
00:25:03,840 --> 00:25:05,760
Speaker 4: multiple starts where he's hitting high nineties.

615
00:25:05,760 --> 00:25:07,840
Speaker 3: Slider looks amazing. This is a dude.

616
00:25:07,920 --> 00:25:10,119
Speaker 4: This is an absolute dude. There was so much fake

617
00:25:10,520 --> 00:25:12,639
Speaker 4: stuff going out there it could be a reliever. And

618
00:25:12,680 --> 00:25:15,440
Speaker 4: there's this and that this isn't as surprising as should

619
00:25:15,440 --> 00:25:18,520
Speaker 4: we be giving it to be. And they're getting a

620
00:25:18,600 --> 00:25:22,080
Speaker 4: two million dollars savings on Kumar Rocker. They're signing him

621
00:25:22,119 --> 00:25:24,640
Speaker 4: around five where slot is seven, and they're gonna use

622
00:25:24,680 --> 00:25:28,920
Speaker 4: that reportedly today on the top high school pitcher brock Porter,

623
00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:31,960
Speaker 4: who has slipped and fell and should be getting a

624
00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:34,520
Speaker 4: whole bunch of money. It's a great pick. It's a

625
00:25:34,560 --> 00:25:37,520
Speaker 4: really great pick. Kumar Rocker coming into this. I'm happy

626
00:25:37,560 --> 00:25:39,680
Speaker 4: to say this because I've seen some others turn page

627
00:25:40,080 --> 00:25:43,080
Speaker 4: coming in. I already had Kamar Rocker is my number

628
00:25:43,080 --> 00:25:46,280
Speaker 4: one pitcher for first year player drafts, but before any

629
00:25:46,320 --> 00:25:48,639
Speaker 4: of this business happened of him going three, and a

630
00:25:48,680 --> 00:25:50,600
Speaker 4: lot of people have kind of turned tune and they're like, hey,

631
00:25:50,640 --> 00:25:51,920
Speaker 4: now Kamar Rockers number one.

632
00:25:52,080 --> 00:25:54,840
Speaker 3: That's where I was because I thought this is I'm

633
00:25:54,840 --> 00:25:55,520
Speaker 3: gonna be still.

634
00:25:55,320 --> 00:25:56,959
Speaker 2: Pissed off as a Mets fan, Like I was just

635
00:25:57,000 --> 00:25:59,080
Speaker 2: so mad, Like, I mean, that's just such a frust

636
00:25:59,119 --> 00:25:59,359
Speaker 2: rate thing.

637
00:25:59,440 --> 00:26:00,560
Speaker 1: He's watching me show.

638
00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:03,480
Speaker 3: He's a team leader, he's really really I watched.

639
00:26:03,280 --> 00:26:04,240
Speaker 1: The pitch of Vanderbilt.

640
00:26:04,240 --> 00:26:06,000
Speaker 2: I saw the highlights of him and Lighter, and I

641
00:26:06,040 --> 00:26:07,679
Speaker 2: watched a ton of it last year, and it was

642
00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:09,400
Speaker 2: just like, you know, I was like, well, if you're

643
00:26:09,400 --> 00:26:11,600
Speaker 2: gonna make this pick, you know, why do you do

644
00:26:11,640 --> 00:26:15,320
Speaker 2: the due diligence before? And then you know he's just

645
00:26:15,359 --> 00:26:17,000
Speaker 2: gonna go back in the draft. Somebod's gonna draft him

646
00:26:17,040 --> 00:26:18,560
Speaker 2: high again, and he did. Is exactly what happened.

647
00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:21,560
Speaker 4: I just don't think they were expecting the medicals. I

648
00:26:21,680 --> 00:26:23,320
Speaker 4: agree with you here the same thing the Braves did

649
00:26:23,359 --> 00:26:24,879
Speaker 4: it with Carter Young a couple of years ago. It's like,

650
00:26:25,119 --> 00:26:27,480
Speaker 4: why did you not have this completely figured out? Like

651
00:26:27,520 --> 00:26:29,280
Speaker 4: I don't understand why this isn't figured out.

652
00:26:29,280 --> 00:26:31,239
Speaker 2: I think it's literally their job, Like this is what

653
00:26:31,280 --> 00:26:33,480
Speaker 2: you do. Yeah, you are the scouts that worry about

654
00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:36,040
Speaker 2: the MLB draft. Let's take you through the top ten

655
00:26:36,880 --> 00:26:39,240
Speaker 2: guys as well, because I know you know that list

656
00:26:39,320 --> 00:26:40,880
Speaker 2: right now. Who stands out to you in the top

657
00:26:40,920 --> 00:26:43,000
Speaker 2: ten and then the first round? Give me, like the

658
00:26:43,040 --> 00:26:44,600
Speaker 2: two or three guys that you were really high on

659
00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:46,119
Speaker 2: or you liked the landing spot.

660
00:26:45,880 --> 00:26:48,160
Speaker 4: For them, Well, I mean number two on my first

661
00:26:48,240 --> 00:26:50,280
Speaker 4: year player list. I've got a top five hundred and

662
00:26:50,359 --> 00:26:52,320
Speaker 4: doing all this in this league dot com. If people

663
00:26:52,359 --> 00:26:53,800
Speaker 4: want to sign up and check out the list, we'll

664
00:26:53,800 --> 00:26:57,320
Speaker 4: be updated soon. But Tamar Johnson with the Pirates is

665
00:26:57,359 --> 00:26:58,520
Speaker 4: such a freaking deal.

666
00:26:58,640 --> 00:26:59,840
Speaker 3: I absolutely love him.

667
00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:02,840
Speaker 4: Probably the best bat in this entire draft, which hey,

668
00:27:02,840 --> 00:27:05,720
Speaker 4: for fantasy, we love that doesn't steal a whole bunch.

669
00:27:06,160 --> 00:27:10,040
Speaker 4: That was my probably ultimate favorite of the entire draft.

670
00:27:10,119 --> 00:27:12,359
Speaker 4: I kind of like brooks Lee who went to Minnesota

671
00:27:12,840 --> 00:27:16,159
Speaker 4: at a incredibly high hit tool can kind of have

672
00:27:16,240 --> 00:27:18,520
Speaker 4: some all fields power pushed around.

673
00:27:18,600 --> 00:27:19,879
Speaker 3: Kevin Parrada to the Mets.

674
00:27:20,480 --> 00:27:23,040
Speaker 4: Was I love I dude, I got Prada at like

675
00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:24,040
Speaker 4: six and he's a catcher.

676
00:27:24,200 --> 00:27:26,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, I wasna I had him at six too, and

677
00:27:26,320 --> 00:27:27,719
Speaker 2: he went eleven to the Mets.

678
00:27:28,080 --> 00:27:30,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, and he steals Basis Toll eleven bases at Georgia

679
00:27:30,560 --> 00:27:33,920
Speaker 4: Tech this past year makes incredible, incredible contact for fantasy.

680
00:27:34,400 --> 00:27:35,600
Speaker 3: The couple guys to watch.

681
00:27:36,200 --> 00:27:38,840
Speaker 4: Chase de Lauder, who went to the Guardians at eighteen,

682
00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:40,840
Speaker 4: was a really really great pick at one time thought

683
00:27:40,880 --> 00:27:43,960
Speaker 4: as maybe the top guy. And then this little barrage

684
00:27:44,040 --> 00:27:47,360
Speaker 4: right here of Justin Crawford and Cam Collier. Collier fell slipped,

685
00:27:47,640 --> 00:27:51,800
Speaker 4: but huge pickups. Collier is probably the highest player on

686
00:27:51,840 --> 00:27:54,760
Speaker 4: my personal rank who went the lowest in the draft.

687
00:27:55,280 --> 00:28:00,000
Speaker 4: Lou Collier's son, huge power, really athletic third baseman, got

688
00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:00,480
Speaker 4: he's got that.

689
00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:03,560
Speaker 1: Jordan Walker, Yeah, he was right eight talent well and

690
00:28:03,640 --> 00:28:05,520
Speaker 1: he went eighteenth. That's a big dip.

691
00:28:05,880 --> 00:28:07,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, So those are a couple of them. It was

692
00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:09,760
Speaker 4: a great draft. We went into the second round. There's

693
00:28:09,800 --> 00:28:13,280
Speaker 4: some huge talent. Maybe my favorite, most unheralded player. He

694
00:28:13,400 --> 00:28:15,280
Speaker 4: went thirteenth to the Angels.

695
00:28:15,480 --> 00:28:16,080
Speaker 3: Zach Nedo.

696
00:28:16,560 --> 00:28:19,720
Speaker 4: Kind of a big Royce Lewis front leg kick, but

697
00:28:19,760 --> 00:28:22,119
Speaker 4: he's a five tool guy almost. He almost was a

698
00:28:22,119 --> 00:28:26,400
Speaker 4: twenty twenty player, really really talented, and it's a little

699
00:28:26,400 --> 00:28:29,359
Speaker 4: bit raw and he played at a smaller school, so

700
00:28:29,400 --> 00:28:31,159
Speaker 4: I have to see where that goes. But that's going

701
00:28:31,200 --> 00:28:32,959
Speaker 4: to be one of those guys that's going to jump up.

702
00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:35,080
Speaker 4: Is it's not going to register for people on first

703
00:28:35,160 --> 00:28:37,200
Speaker 4: year player boards, but netto. So it was a great

704
00:28:37,240 --> 00:28:39,080
Speaker 4: first round, great talent, and more to come.

705
00:28:39,640 --> 00:28:42,760
Speaker 2: All right, let's get to the home run derby. Obviously tonight,

706
00:28:42,800 --> 00:28:45,240
Speaker 2: the odds have changed since last week left you on Friday,

707
00:28:45,240 --> 00:28:48,080
Speaker 2: so they have moved significantly at that to pet A

708
00:28:48,120 --> 00:28:51,280
Speaker 2: Lonzo plus one eighty five, Kylee Swarber two seventy, Won

709
00:28:51,360 --> 00:28:52,640
Speaker 2: Soto plus six fifty.

710
00:28:52,680 --> 00:28:54,880
Speaker 1: Then we had Kney at six fifty. Julio is at

711
00:28:54,960 --> 00:28:55,760
Speaker 1: plus eight fifty.

712
00:28:55,840 --> 00:28:58,680
Speaker 2: So those twelve or ten to one on Julio and

713
00:28:58,680 --> 00:29:00,800
Speaker 2: then twelve to one on Corey Seeger Well, Corey Siegers

714
00:29:00,800 --> 00:29:03,240
Speaker 2: now plus nine to fifty. So here's what you have

715
00:29:03,280 --> 00:29:04,840
Speaker 2: to do if you want to get involved in the

716
00:29:04,840 --> 00:29:08,240
Speaker 2: home run derby contest. Here once again just going through this.

717
00:29:08,720 --> 00:29:10,480
Speaker 2: To play, you have to be a premium member Fantasy

718
00:29:10,520 --> 00:29:13,040
Speaker 2: Pros obviously because you're in the home run chat over

719
00:29:13,120 --> 00:29:17,480
Speaker 2: on Discord. The example is exclamation point home run, like

720
00:29:17,480 --> 00:29:19,720
Speaker 2: you always make your call slash call. Then you put

721
00:29:19,760 --> 00:29:21,240
Speaker 2: the first name of the guy you think is going

722
00:29:21,280 --> 00:29:24,840
Speaker 2: to finish, first the comma the second player, and then

723
00:29:24,880 --> 00:29:27,000
Speaker 2: of course the number of home runs. So just for

724
00:29:27,040 --> 00:29:30,640
Speaker 2: example three hundred and ninety, I see that whenever the

725
00:29:30,680 --> 00:29:32,920
Speaker 2: graphic was made here, so good job making this graphic.

726
00:29:32,960 --> 00:29:35,280
Speaker 2: I know Wonky's been working on this. I want to

727
00:29:35,360 --> 00:29:39,520
Speaker 2: say it was mister Buster made it made the fun

728
00:29:39,560 --> 00:29:42,960
Speaker 2: amazing graphic. We're both wearing our crowns. You're wearing your

729
00:29:42,960 --> 00:29:43,560
Speaker 2: tr I'm.

730
00:29:43,480 --> 00:29:45,600
Speaker 3: Wearing my Where is it? Where is this?

731
00:29:46,080 --> 00:29:47,640
Speaker 2: I don't know if they posted it in the Discord

732
00:29:47,640 --> 00:29:50,120
Speaker 2: home run channel yet or not, but I got it

733
00:29:50,120 --> 00:29:51,400
Speaker 2: sent to me, so I guess it's going to be

734
00:29:51,440 --> 00:29:53,479
Speaker 2: at least posted today, Wonky, I don't know is it

735
00:29:53,520 --> 00:29:54,960
Speaker 2: posted in the Discord channel.

736
00:29:55,440 --> 00:29:57,560
Speaker 1: But so you need the person.

737
00:29:57,280 --> 00:30:01,040
Speaker 2: Going first, comma second place finisher, and then the number

738
00:30:01,040 --> 00:30:03,960
Speaker 2: home runs. So if you get all things right here

739
00:30:04,000 --> 00:30:06,600
Speaker 2: and you do very well, you get three points. So

740
00:30:06,680 --> 00:30:10,240
Speaker 2: the person who correctly names the first place person, the

741
00:30:10,280 --> 00:30:12,640
Speaker 2: second place hitter, and the closest to the total number

742
00:30:12,640 --> 00:30:14,840
Speaker 2: gets three points. Anyone who picks the winner and the

743
00:30:14,840 --> 00:30:17,560
Speaker 2: second place person in that correct order gets two points.

744
00:30:17,640 --> 00:30:20,000
Speaker 2: Anyone who picks the winner gets one point. So I

745
00:30:20,040 --> 00:30:22,520
Speaker 2: have made my wager also on Juan Soto. I think

746
00:30:22,560 --> 00:30:24,040
Speaker 2: he's the best bang for my buck there at the

747
00:30:24,040 --> 00:30:26,520
Speaker 2: plus six fifty. I put that down this morning. So

748
00:30:26,760 --> 00:30:29,720
Speaker 2: let's go Juan Soto. Last call here for your pick.

749
00:30:30,080 --> 00:30:32,960
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go Sodo one and Pete Alonso two. I

750
00:30:32,960 --> 00:30:34,880
Speaker 2: think it's gonna be the old dogs going for it.

751
00:30:34,960 --> 00:30:35,640
Speaker 2: That's my call.

752
00:30:35,920 --> 00:30:36,720
Speaker 1: How about you, Welsh?

753
00:30:36,760 --> 00:30:40,000
Speaker 4: Where are you going, Oh, man, I just see Mayor

754
00:30:40,240 --> 00:30:43,160
Speaker 4: just almost put exactly where I'm gonna go. I'm gonna

755
00:30:43,160 --> 00:30:48,160
Speaker 4: go Alonzo one, Schwarber two, and I'm gonna put the

756
00:30:48,240 --> 00:30:52,960
Speaker 4: number at I'm gonna I'm gonna do like a one

757
00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:55,200
Speaker 4: dollar thing on him. I'm gonna go to ninety five.

758
00:30:55,280 --> 00:30:57,160
Speaker 4: I'm gonna go two over him. So I'm gonna go

759
00:30:57,200 --> 00:30:59,960
Speaker 4: Alonzo Schwarber two ninety five. That's gonna be my fife.

760
00:31:00,440 --> 00:31:02,200
Speaker 4: Do I need making it here? Is that good enough

761
00:31:02,240 --> 00:31:02,360
Speaker 4: for me?

762
00:31:02,480 --> 00:31:03,120
Speaker 3: Do I need to go on this?

763
00:31:03,360 --> 00:31:03,560
Speaker 1: I think?

764
00:31:03,640 --> 00:31:05,520
Speaker 2: I think I think for the good of the contest,

765
00:31:05,520 --> 00:31:06,800
Speaker 2: you should make it in the home run chat.

766
00:31:06,840 --> 00:31:07,880
Speaker 1: I think everybody should do that.

767
00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:10,400
Speaker 2: I think everybody should just go one to run higher

768
00:31:10,640 --> 00:31:14,280
Speaker 2: than whatever whatever Mike Maher does. I think that's definitely

769
00:31:14,280 --> 00:31:16,080
Speaker 2: the way it goes. Because Mike Mayer's moving this week two.

770
00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:20,200
Speaker 2: Speaking of moving, somebody else moving really close. Here's fun fact.

771
00:31:20,200 --> 00:31:23,160
Speaker 2: We'll close on this justin Verlander of the Astros is

772
00:31:23,160 --> 00:31:25,040
Speaker 2: the first picture of Major League Baseball history. I know

773
00:31:25,080 --> 00:31:27,920
Speaker 2: Welsh loves the historical moments. I do enter the All

774
00:31:27,960 --> 00:31:30,920
Speaker 2: Star break with twelve or more wins an eight hundred

775
00:31:30,920 --> 00:31:34,080
Speaker 2: winning percentage, an ERA under two, an opponent's batting average

776
00:31:34,160 --> 00:31:37,200
Speaker 2: under two hundred, a whip under point nine zero, and

777
00:31:37,240 --> 00:31:38,800
Speaker 2: a five to one k walk ratio.

778
00:31:38,880 --> 00:31:39,920
Speaker 1: How about them apples.

779
00:31:40,200 --> 00:31:41,960
Speaker 2: And by the way, the Astros have like the easiest

780
00:31:41,960 --> 00:31:44,520
Speaker 2: schedule on the planet coming out of the break into

781
00:31:44,560 --> 00:31:47,680
