Scott Bogman, I know you're a 0:00:40.600 --> 0:00:44.280 huge emoji fan, so when you heard that news today, 0:00:44.560 --> 0:00:46.720 how excited were you for the beginning of the program. 0:00:47.080 --> 0:00:50.280 Couldn't be more excited. It's emojis and then opening day 0:00:50.320 --> 0:00:52.680 for baseball for me, so I was pumped about it 0:00:52.720 --> 0:00:53.120 for sure. 0:00:53.240 --> 0:00:55.440 It's good combination. It's a good combination.

So I need the season 0:01:10.959 --> 0:01:13.039 to start and I need another draft here to kind 0:01:13.040 --> 0:01:15.120 of cleanse my palatee after that, because I'm gonna be 0:01:15.160 --> 0:01:18.160 dropping my SP four on the first FAB run this Sunday, 0:01:18.200 --> 0:01:20.720 so I definitely need another draft to clear mind. 0:01:21.000 --> 0:01:24.559 I need to know where have the The big talk 0:01:24.600 --> 0:01:27.760 of the town here around Fantasy Pros was your Roki 0:01:27.840 --> 0:01:31.600 Sazaki rank.

I got my home 0:02:09.120 --> 0:02:12.280 league the night before because I'm going as far as 0:02:12.320 --> 0:02:15.600 I can.

We want 0:02:53.080 --> 0:02:54.840 to get there before opening day. I think we can 0:02:54.880 --> 0:02:57.359 do it, and whenever we hit twenty five thousand, you'll 0:02:57.360 --> 0:03:01.000 get Mario and Luigi aka Joey and the Welsh dressing 0:03:01.080 --> 0:03:03.800 up once again, cause playing, So that's gonna be fantastic. 0:03:03.880 --> 0:03:07.480 Look at this got Premium yesterday Positive Grouch, which is 0:03:07.600 --> 0:03:10.239 kind of a you know, oxymoron, but we love oxy 0:03:10.280 --> 0:03:13.280 morons around here. Let's talk about the draft today. It's 0:03:13.360 --> 0:03:16.839 short drafts, the same thing. Uh, they're just very clean. 0:03:16.880 --> 0:03:19.359 They use that oxy clean. They're incredibly clean morons. We've 0:03:19.360 --> 0:03:23.360 got ten teams here joining us today. We've got Michael, 0:03:23.440 --> 0:03:27.160 We've got one player, We've got show May, We've got 0:03:27.240 --> 0:03:30.919 the Welsh, we've got Frankie, Chewbacca's back again, Bogman is 0:03:30.960 --> 0:03:32.920 here at one oh eight, Venom is back again at 0:03:32.960 --> 0:03:35.280 one oh nine, and Joel Rico in the ten spot. 0:03:35.320 --> 0:03:37.800 Head to head categories is what we're doing. So we're 0:03:37.800 --> 0:03:39.480 gonna start this bad boy up. And yes, I did 0:03:39.520 --> 0:03:43.600 take the one spot today because well, frankly, I'm I'm 0:03:43.600 --> 0:03:45.400 hosting as well, so it's a lot easier for me 0:03:45.440 --> 0:03:47.080 to just pick on the turn and I just did 0:03:47.080 --> 0:03:48.920 one where I was at the bottom. So now we're 0:03:48.960 --> 0:03:50.560 gonna go to the top. I've done them in the 0:03:50.600 --> 0:03:52.440 middle too. I think it was five last time, Welsh, 0:03:52.480 --> 0:03:55.480 wasn't I last time we did this. I don't want 0:03:55.480 --> 0:03:57.360 to hear anybody complaining that I'm in the one you 0:03:57.400 --> 0:04:00.720 want to complain, I think it's somewhere else. Care all right? 0:04:01.040 --> 0:04:04.040 Uh for this one pick. It is interesting because in 0:04:04.080 --> 0:04:06.920 the ten team league, the supply and demand a little 0:04:06.920 --> 0:04:10.240 bit different in terms of what's available for you. You're 0:04:10.240 --> 0:04:13.480 gonna have more pictures available supplying demand wise. Outfield, we 0:04:13.520 --> 0:04:16.080 are playing four outfielders. We're doing corner infield, we're doing 0:04:16.080 --> 0:04:19.320 two util spots. No bench today either. I'm gonna start 0:04:19.320 --> 0:04:21.080 things off with my boy Bobby Witt Junior at the 0:04:21.080 --> 0:04:23.880 shortstop position. See how this one goes. So I'm not 0:04:23.880 --> 0:04:26.200 gonna pass an Otani for somebody else. Let them do 0:04:26.240 --> 0:04:28.320 it and see if I can still win the draft. 0:04:28.320 --> 0:04:31.760 That's my challenge. Michael's up next. Our next guest here, 0:04:32.279 --> 0:04:34.600 Chris Welsh, is at one oh five. So Welsh, you've 0:04:34.640 --> 0:04:36.919 been loving this one o five spot. So tell me 0:04:37.440 --> 0:04:40.479 what are are you looking for? You're looking for the 0:04:40.600 --> 0:04:43.359 Jose Ramirez fall, the Wan Soto fall. What do you 0:04:43.360 --> 0:04:44.360 need to call in guest. 0:04:44.480 --> 0:04:47.360 By the way, thanks, Hey, thanks for having me on 0:04:47.400 --> 0:04:49.560 your show, Joe. I'm really happy. This is a great show. 0:04:49.600 --> 0:04:52.880 Welcome to Joe and Friends here, everybody, Joe, He's a 0:04:52.880 --> 0:04:53.920 p and Friends never. 0:04:53.839 --> 0:04:57.640 Lets you know Ward nominated show that you only solely 0:04:57.680 --> 0:05:00.520 put together. So thanks for having me just be a little, 0:05:00.560 --> 0:05:03.359 tiny baby part of it. I pick five because it 0:05:03.480 --> 0:05:07.000 was the best pick that had some separation between you guys. 0:05:07.000 --> 0:05:09.560 Not that I'm necessarily in love with it, but I 0:05:09.600 --> 0:05:14.080 have talked about loving this area because in a perfect world, 0:05:14.080 --> 0:05:16.080 I'm gonna get Ellie de la Cruz. This is not 0:05:16.120 --> 0:05:18.159 a perfect world, so I won't get Ellie dey la Cruz, 0:05:18.400 --> 0:05:21.240 but I get a choice between Judge, Jusi Ramirez and Ellie. 0:05:21.360 --> 0:05:24.080 So an a ten team in any league format, this 0:05:24.200 --> 0:05:26.920 is an incredible spot in a ten team. That five, 0:05:27.040 --> 0:05:29.799 I'm also going to wrap around into an incredible place. 0:05:29.880 --> 0:05:33.600 So five is like absolutely ideal here and I'm going 0:05:33.640 --> 0:05:37.080 to get my dream. Dreams do come true. And it's 0:05:37.120 --> 0:05:39.560 only because you invited me on your show, Joe, So 0:05:39.640 --> 0:05:41.440 thank you so much of a live take Ellie de 0:05:41.560 --> 0:05:43.000 la Cruz on your program. 0:05:44.000 --> 0:05:45.800 I mean, it's nice to be treated as a guest. 0:05:46.040 --> 0:05:47.280 You know what I mean, Like I mean, it means 0:05:47.320 --> 0:05:49.159 I treat you better than I would normally treat you, 0:05:49.160 --> 0:05:51.400 I would think. So Bobby Wood goes one show, he 0:05:51.640 --> 0:05:54.960 goes to Aaron Judge goes three, Jose Ramirez at four, 0:05:55.040 --> 0:05:58.360 Ellie de Lacruz to the Welsh at five. So Bogman, 0:05:58.440 --> 0:06:00.320 you're at eight. So when you're drafted from the eight 0:06:00.400 --> 0:06:03.120 spot in a ten team league, again, calculus changes a 0:06:03.160 --> 0:06:05.400 little bit. When they're in these shallower leagues. You really 0:06:05.440 --> 0:06:07.039 got to load up on that star power. Are you 0:06:07.080 --> 0:06:09.680 somebody that because there might be a little bit more 0:06:09.720 --> 0:06:12.080 supplying amount of hitting, Or willing to go pitching early 0:06:12.160 --> 0:06:14.840 or are you willing to go prefer maybe pitching later. 0:06:14.960 --> 0:06:17.280 Say his name, just say his name. Who you're gonna take, 0:06:17.279 --> 0:06:18.960 You're gonna beat around the bush, Just say who you're taking. 0:06:19.000 --> 0:06:19.760 We know who you're taking. 0:06:19.920 --> 0:06:22.400 I'm taking corporate Carol. Everybody knows. But I answer the question, 0:06:23.560 --> 0:06:27.440 but also, uh, I'm not I'll take pitching at the 0:06:27.600 --> 0:06:30.440 end of the round, not in not even at eight, 0:06:30.760 --> 0:06:33.200 So end of the round I'll do it. I won't 0:06:33.240 --> 0:06:35.040 do it here. I like a pitcher to fall back 0:06:35.080 --> 0:06:38.440 to me in this spot. They never do, so I 0:06:38.640 --> 0:06:41.320 just this this part, this part of the draft to me, 0:06:41.360 --> 0:06:44.440 has been the most challenging. So since it's a mock, 0:06:44.520 --> 0:06:46.200 I just wanted to see what I put together. I 0:06:46.320 --> 0:06:48.279 was drafted from eight yesterday when Welsh and I did 0:06:48.320 --> 0:06:50.640 a mock for i TL and I actually put together 0:06:50.680 --> 0:06:52.839 the best team that I feel like I put together yet. 0:06:52.960 --> 0:06:56.400 So it was positive yesterday. So we'll see if I 0:06:56.440 --> 0:06:56.599 like it. 0:06:56.720 --> 0:06:58.320 You have a really you have a really good shot 0:06:58.360 --> 0:07:00.479 at a picture. We saw pocket Aces go in a 0:07:00.520 --> 0:07:03.239 twelve team mock draft we did. I don't think Rico 0:07:03.440 --> 0:07:05.240 is going to be a crazy person like that, as 0:07:05.279 --> 0:07:07.880 he's not, So you are going to actually you are 0:07:07.880 --> 0:07:09.680 officially going to get one of those pictures if you 0:07:09.720 --> 0:07:10.760 want it, Boggs. 0:07:11.240 --> 0:07:13.280 If you want them. So Ellie goes to Welsh at 0:07:13.280 --> 0:07:15.320 one O five, one O six to one Soto, then 0:07:15.360 --> 0:07:17.640 Kyle Tucker at win O seven, Corbyn Carroll at one 0:07:17.720 --> 0:07:20.640 O eight to bog bogmin Why Carol over Gunnar Henderson 0:07:20.680 --> 0:07:22.320 just had a curiosity because. 0:07:22.080 --> 0:07:24.160 Gunner Henderson has the oblique going into the season and 0:07:24.440 --> 0:07:26.880 Corbyn Carroll doesn't. I mean that's pretty simple. 0:07:26.920 --> 0:07:30.160 Matt Okay Fernando Tattis Junior at the turn to Joe 0:07:30.280 --> 0:07:34.520 Rico along with hometown hero of Vlad Guerrero Junior, Joey. 0:07:34.560 --> 0:07:37.680 When you heard yesterday the you know, the GM talking 0:07:37.720 --> 0:07:40.120 about we're hopeful we get an extension done. Did did 0:07:40.200 --> 0:07:42.080 you buy that at all? On the Vlatty News. 0:07:42.280 --> 0:07:44.360 He's totally full of it. I don't believe a word 0:07:44.400 --> 0:07:47.360 he says. I hope he's right, but I'm not taking 0:07:47.440 --> 0:07:49.480 him at face value anymore. They do not serve the 0:07:49.480 --> 0:07:51.560 benefit of the doubt. But I think Vladdie going into 0:07:51.600 --> 0:07:54.320 a contract year, I think he's I think he's going 0:07:54.400 --> 0:07:56.600 to have a massive season, like I have him predicted 0:07:56.600 --> 0:07:59.720 for American League MVP. I think he's going to just 0:07:59.760 --> 0:08:02.640 go for forty bombs hit three twenty and just blow 0:08:02.720 --> 0:08:04.640 up and then get a massive contract. 0:08:04.160 --> 0:08:05.679 Probably from Uncle Steve. Joe. 0:08:05.960 --> 0:08:08.400 You guys are probably gonna kind of me, But I'll 0:08:08.400 --> 0:08:10.560 take him this year in the contract here when he's 0:08:10.560 --> 0:08:12.560 got all these people talking about him, and he's doing 0:08:12.560 --> 0:08:14.560 interviews talking about maybe going to the Yankees, and I 0:08:15.200 --> 0:08:16.560 feel like this is a year for him to just 0:08:16.600 --> 0:08:17.000 blow up. 0:08:17.040 --> 0:08:20.000 And then Tatis is the other pick. He's been a 0:08:20.000 --> 0:08:20.400 little bit. 0:08:20.320 --> 0:08:23.160 Disappointing the last couple of years, but I feel like 0:08:23.160 --> 0:08:25.160 there's still a thirty thirty bat there potentially. 0:08:26.320 --> 0:08:26.960 Oh I do too. 0:08:26.960 --> 0:08:29.080 I mean, yesterday did strike out on three pitchers against 0:08:29.160 --> 0:08:32.839 Adrian Houser. I watch that happen in real time. Mooki 0:08:32.880 --> 0:08:35.200 Betts goes at two two Bogman, You took Paul Skeens 0:08:35.840 --> 0:08:38.240 instead of school Bawl. So what made you do that? 0:08:38.640 --> 0:08:39.640 Just out of curiosity? 0:08:40.440 --> 0:08:42.280 I mean they're both, They're both kind of a coin 0:08:42.320 --> 0:08:45.280 flip here. I feel like Skeens just has more upside 0:08:45.320 --> 0:08:48.520 than any pitcher in baseball. So with all of them 0:08:48.559 --> 0:08:51.560 being so volatile, give me the guy with the most upside. 0:08:51.720 --> 0:08:54.640 Okay, So after that upside of Skiens, Lindor goes next 0:08:54.640 --> 0:08:58.040 to Juwbaka, Frankie takes Julio Welsh, you ended up taking 0:08:58.120 --> 0:08:59.439 to Reschooble. How do you feel about that? 0:09:00.000 --> 0:09:02.200 Should? Pretty solid about it. I don't do this often. 0:09:02.360 --> 0:09:05.640 I do tend to take a third round pitcher in 0:09:05.800 --> 0:09:08.280 Garrett Croche a lot. But you know, in the ten team, 0:09:08.360 --> 0:09:12.520 the player pool is it's a lot more accessible having elite, 0:09:12.559 --> 0:09:16.040 elite players at certain positions to sacrifice getting high end 0:09:16.120 --> 0:09:17.959 hitters is okay to me. So to be able to 0:09:18.000 --> 0:09:21.080 get like a theoretical number one overall pitcher at two, 0:09:21.400 --> 0:09:23.920 there's just still a great playerpool that's about to come 0:09:23.960 --> 0:09:27.199 back to me. So I'm pretty I'm pretty confident with 0:09:27.280 --> 0:09:30.360 I passed up some good players, but I think this 0:09:30.480 --> 0:09:32.480 build and a ten team, I just like, we're all 0:09:32.520 --> 0:09:34.360 gonna have good pictures. But if you can have a 0:09:34.400 --> 0:09:38.480 separator of having eliteness in certain spots, I think it's 0:09:38.480 --> 0:09:41.040 a It's a really solid advantage. So I'm happy about it, 0:09:41.120 --> 0:09:42.080 and I'm a Joe Rico. 0:09:42.160 --> 0:09:43.320 Is elite is a word? 0:09:43.720 --> 0:09:44.280 Elite neis? 0:09:45.360 --> 0:09:45.680 Yes? 0:09:45.840 --> 0:09:47.680 I think it's the word. Yeah, I should know this. 0:09:47.720 --> 0:09:49.360 I went to journalism school. I should know this. 0:09:49.559 --> 0:09:51.439 I was good. That's why I asked you. I figured, well, 0:09:51.520 --> 0:09:53.680 I asked the journalism school guy. If eliteis is a word, 0:09:53.760 --> 0:09:55.240 you should be right on that, yes or no. 0:09:55.120 --> 0:09:57.240 Elateness miss elitnistniss. 0:09:57.440 --> 0:09:58.960 That's where you might be pushing it a little bit 0:09:59.000 --> 0:09:59.480 with the elite. 0:09:59.640 --> 0:10:01.600 I think, yeah, that might be a little too much elite. 0:10:01.960 --> 0:10:04.200 Bryce Harper goes at two oh seven to show May 0:10:04.920 --> 0:10:08.120 then we have Alvarez going next at two eight Jackson 0:10:08.160 --> 0:10:10.599 Tiro to a nine. At the turn, I was contemplating, 0:10:10.640 --> 0:10:13.000 you know, the Freddie Freeman health I feel like, just 0:10:13.040 --> 0:10:15.040 really worried, like the end of last year at the 0:10:15.080 --> 0:10:17.319 beginning of this year too. I'm sure he'll be fine. 0:10:17.720 --> 0:10:19.440 This was a point that he got, take Freddy Freeman. 0:10:19.480 --> 0:10:22.200 But it's not it's head to head roto category. So 0:10:22.240 --> 0:10:23.560 I want guys to do everything. 0:10:24.080 --> 0:10:24.240 Uh. 0:10:24.480 --> 0:10:26.920 And Zach Wheeler was very tempting. He did go right 0:10:27.000 --> 0:10:29.360 after I made my two selections, but instead I went 0:10:29.360 --> 0:10:32.040 when Jared Duran and Jackson Merrill two outfielders. They give 0:10:32.080 --> 0:10:34.120 you power, give you speed, give you everything, give me fuel, 0:10:34.240 --> 0:10:37.200 give me fire, give me that which I desire, and 0:10:37.320 --> 0:10:41.240 I'm very happy. There you go. So I love these 0:10:41.240 --> 0:10:43.440 first three picks. To me, this is a super annoying 0:10:43.480 --> 0:10:45.600 team to deal with in a shallow rodo head to 0:10:45.640 --> 0:10:48.280 head format. Zach Wheeler goes at three oh two, Trey 0:10:48.280 --> 0:10:51.240 Turner three oh three. Austin Riiley was the other guy 0:10:51.400 --> 0:10:53.720 was contemplating. He goes at three oh four. The Welsh 0:10:53.960 --> 0:10:56.400 cad tell Marte, Yeah, Homer, nice pick here at three 0:10:56.400 --> 0:10:56.679 oh five. 0:10:56.760 --> 0:10:59.400 Now what a horrible pick, cold, tell Marte with thirty 0:10:59.400 --> 0:11:02.840 five home and high batting average and runs and RBI. 0:11:03.000 --> 0:11:04.800 Now I think this is what we're talking about, Like 0:11:04.880 --> 0:11:07.679 it's there's a great third round value. I've never gotten 0:11:07.720 --> 0:11:09.960 to tell Marte before, so you know, I can kind 0:11:09.960 --> 0:11:12.800 of bounce around between hitting and pitching. Speaking of Homer, 0:11:12.880 --> 0:11:15.720 just real quick. Looking at the chat, Laker had asked 0:11:15.720 --> 0:11:17.360 about a lot of Corbyn Carroll stuff. He I dont 0:11:17.360 --> 0:11:19.480 know why Corbyn Carroll got everybody all excited. Maybe it's 0:11:19.480 --> 0:11:21.400 because Bagman and I are there, But he said, how's 0:11:21.440 --> 0:11:24.360 Corbyn's shoulder? From all intentsive purposes, it looks like it 0:11:24.440 --> 0:11:27.000 is in a great spot. He's had a killer spring. 0:11:27.240 --> 0:11:29.760 That's the other thing with Gunner, Like Gunner has had 0:11:29.760 --> 0:11:32.080 this injury, he's amazing. But Corbyn Carroll, it looks like 0:11:32.160 --> 0:11:34.599 he's back on his rookie level stuff. He's hitting the 0:11:34.600 --> 0:11:36.520 ball well and his shoulder looks great. So I think 0:11:36.600 --> 0:11:38.400 that's why it makes a lot of sense to take 0:11:38.480 --> 0:11:41.480 him at eight, and you know, no injury like Gunner Henderson. 0:11:41.559 --> 0:11:44.680 Right now, Frankie takes Jess Chisman three six, Garrett Crochet 0:11:44.720 --> 0:11:46.600 off the board of three seven. I was wondering if 0:11:46.600 --> 0:11:49.520 you're gonna go scooball crochet and try to like, you know, 0:11:49.720 --> 0:11:50.840 a little bit of a show off there. 0:11:51.559 --> 0:11:53.960 I might have, well, not now, but I doubt now. 0:11:54.000 --> 0:11:54.640 I was thinking about it. 0:11:54.679 --> 0:11:56.320 Well, I knew it wasn't making it back to you, 0:11:56.800 --> 0:11:59.480 Freddie Freeman to Scott Bogman. So where I was afraid, 0:11:59.480 --> 0:12:03.000 Scott bog is courageous. So Freddy Freeman. Look, first base 0:12:03.600 --> 0:12:05.800 in any depth of league isn't as deep as it 0:12:05.880 --> 0:12:07.160 used to be. Box, I know you're on the clock. 0:12:07.160 --> 0:12:08.520 I'll let you pick. Then we'll come back to here. 0:12:08.600 --> 0:12:11.240 Two trusted Venom at Jose Ao two A three h 0:12:11.360 --> 0:12:13.400 nine and then Joe Rico at the turnold and Gilbert three 0:12:13.440 --> 0:12:15.960 ten and four a one man in Machado. So you 0:12:16.040 --> 0:12:18.320 got Vlad at first, Machado at third. You got your 0:12:18.320 --> 0:12:20.319 starting pitcher, you got your outfielder, Joe. This is pretty 0:12:20.320 --> 0:12:21.320 good looking build so far. 0:12:21.720 --> 0:12:22.720 Yeah. I like the bass. 0:12:22.800 --> 0:12:25.160 I've got a little bit of speed, although that's probably 0:12:25.200 --> 0:12:26.760 something I need a little bit later on. But I've 0:12:26.760 --> 0:12:28.760 got a nice base of power and batting average, which 0:12:28.760 --> 0:12:30.520 I think is very hard to come across later in 0:12:30.559 --> 0:12:32.360 the draft. I also got an ace that I can 0:12:32.400 --> 0:12:34.840 rely on for probably close to two hundred innings again, 0:12:34.920 --> 0:12:37.440 so very much liking the start. But I'm worried a 0:12:37.480 --> 0:12:39.600 little bit about the speed. But in a ten team league, 0:12:39.720 --> 0:12:41.080 I don't really need to worry so much. 0:12:41.880 --> 0:12:44.760 That's right. We do have two RP spots to fill 0:12:44.800 --> 0:12:47.760 as well in this one, So Michael Harris to trusted Vendom, 0:12:47.760 --> 0:12:50.920 who's autogantically get an F for me. Raphael Deveres to 0:12:50.960 --> 0:12:53.880 Scott Bogman, So Bogman for a guy who's worried, you know, 0:12:54.040 --> 0:12:57.880 worries about injury. Guys, Devor is not exactly one hundred percent. 0:12:57.960 --> 0:13:01.520 Also having some you know, be some unhappiness settling in 0:13:01.520 --> 0:13:04.160 there too. You maybe, you know, Papa gummy into his 0:13:04.960 --> 0:13:07.320 breakfast to see if maybe he starts feeling better about. 0:13:07.080 --> 0:13:11.680 This move to DH eventually listen, uh, if I'm sitting 0:13:11.720 --> 0:13:14.920 here in the fourth round and Devers is available to me, 0:13:15.000 --> 0:13:16.520 And by the way, he played one hundred and thirty 0:13:16.520 --> 0:13:19.360 eight games last year, so it's not like you missed 0:13:19.360 --> 0:13:21.880 a big chunk of the season or anything. And you know, 0:13:21.920 --> 0:13:24.240 Freddie Freeman, I think he's gonna be fine by the 0:13:24.280 --> 0:13:28.640 time real opening day rolls around. So let's let's go. 0:13:28.800 --> 0:13:31.439 I love these guys falling. This is a perfect draft 0:13:31.440 --> 0:13:33.160 for me. So far, I am loving it. The only 0:13:33.200 --> 0:13:35.760 thing that I didn't like was when Welsh too Ketel 0:13:35.840 --> 0:13:38.360 Marte two picks or three picks or whatever in front 0:13:38.400 --> 0:13:40.480 of me, because that's who I That's who I wanted 0:13:40.520 --> 0:13:43.880 really with that Freddie spot. But I love these guys dropping. 0:13:44.000 --> 0:13:47.640 And you were asking about Carol before. Carol's hitting three 0:13:47.720 --> 0:13:50.840 ninety four with four bombs this spring so good. Shoulder 0:13:50.880 --> 0:13:51.480 looks fine. 0:13:51.920 --> 0:13:54.840 Yeah, that's that's pretty good, all right, Matt Olsen at 0:13:54.840 --> 0:13:56.960 four oh four, Pete Alonzo four oh five. Welsh, you 0:13:57.000 --> 0:13:59.760 took Ronald of Cooney at four h six. You absolute 0:13:59.840 --> 0:14:04.120 hit you all these shows we keep doing, you freaking hypocrite. 0:14:04.160 --> 0:14:06.960 How dare you take giving me crap on all these shows? 0:14:07.120 --> 0:14:10.840 Or has my good logic finally seeped into your dense 0:14:10.920 --> 0:14:13.600 brain finally that Ronda Cooney is a good pick here. 0:14:13.679 --> 0:14:17.600 Hah, your logic has not seeped in whatsoever. But we're 0:14:17.640 --> 0:14:20.120 a team. I'm on the clock, though, so let me 0:14:20.480 --> 0:14:21.720 all right, So gohead you pick. 0:14:21.920 --> 0:14:23.320 I'll come back to you and let you find an 0:14:23.360 --> 0:14:25.400 excuse for a while. You took Rondakutia and you can 0:14:25.440 --> 0:14:29.280 get me crap about why I do made I made no, no, no. 0:14:29.280 --> 0:14:30.800 Now now you have to wait. The guests to have 0:14:30.920 --> 0:14:32.360 to wait. If you were really the host of the show, 0:14:32.440 --> 0:14:35.080 you can talk Ozzy Alby's at four oh seven, Corey 0:14:35.080 --> 0:14:37.000 Seeger four o waight, Chris Sale at four o nine. 0:14:37.000 --> 0:14:39.440 I was gonna go Sale Reagan's instead, I had to 0:14:39.440 --> 0:14:41.520 settle for Reagans and Blake Snell. I'll do that in 0:14:41.560 --> 0:14:45.240 the pitching run has begun, folks after Snell. By the way, 0:14:45.280 --> 0:14:47.440 that's a pretty good duo right there, got them big 0:14:47.520 --> 0:14:52.480 lefty strikeout guys. Oh Man, rotation man, Blake snell Man, 0:14:52.880 --> 0:14:56.360 Corbyn Burns. The number two starter apparently on the Diamondbacks 0:14:56.360 --> 0:14:58.400 is by all that money is that gallon? Starting opening day, 0:14:58.600 --> 0:15:00.320 Dylan Ceas goes at five zho three. This is the 0:15:00.320 --> 0:15:02.480 sweet spot and I'm glad I grabbed the two because 0:15:02.520 --> 0:15:05.720 obviously there it goes Albi's at four oh seven grade value. 0:15:05.720 --> 0:15:07.760 By the way, the showmate who then takes William Contreras 0:15:07.800 --> 0:15:09.560 at five to four, and then well she took whitet 0:15:09.640 --> 0:15:13.280 langforst so get doubled up on outfield. Ellie Marte Acunya 0:15:13.440 --> 0:15:16.200 Langford and schoobll as the ace. So let's talk about Acunia. 0:15:16.240 --> 0:15:17.240 Let's talk about Langford. 0:15:17.440 --> 0:15:20.280 So, like I've I've been kind of anti ronald'cunya in 0:15:20.280 --> 0:15:22.480 a lot of spots, but we're playing in a ten 0:15:22.520 --> 0:15:24.520 team and that was my whole thing with Rea School 0:15:24.560 --> 0:15:27.480 earlier is in a ten team, we've got the ability 0:15:27.720 --> 0:15:30.480 to just rebalance out this roster more than any other thing. 0:15:30.520 --> 0:15:32.480 And that's also why you know, you've heard a lot 0:15:32.480 --> 0:15:34.160 of people say like, well in a ten team, this 0:15:34.320 --> 0:15:37.400 is this in a you know, a twelve or fifteen, 0:15:37.440 --> 0:15:41.560 the values are different. Man, I can I can redo this? 0:15:41.760 --> 0:15:44.200 Like I just got White Langford. Is I have to 0:15:44.200 --> 0:15:47.000 put a little bit more focus on outfield taking Acunya, 0:15:47.080 --> 0:15:49.640 but like his talent, that I'm going to be able 0:15:49.680 --> 0:15:52.360 to baseline it with four outfielders is a no brainer 0:15:52.400 --> 0:15:54.680 in the fourth round here. So like as much as 0:15:54.680 --> 0:15:56.840 I've been turning against it, ten team kind of opens 0:15:56.880 --> 0:16:00.320 things up. So ronald'cunya with Ellie Da la Cruze could 0:16:00.320 --> 0:16:03.840 tell Marte White Langford, we might they might make this 0:16:03.960 --> 0:16:06.920 my show. After this show, might you might be kicking 0:16:07.000 --> 0:16:08.120 rocks and this will be my show. 0:16:08.640 --> 0:16:11.920 Well that brings us to this week's Chasing Challenges, brought 0:16:11.920 --> 0:16:14.000 to you by Microsoft. Just like the athletes who push 0:16:14.040 --> 0:16:17.760 boundaries and redefine what's possible, business decision makers today are 0:16:17.840 --> 0:16:21.600 turning challenges into opportunities, and Microsoft meets you where you 0:16:21.640 --> 0:16:23.800 are with tools and guidance to help you make an 0:16:23.800 --> 0:16:26.840 impact with safe, secure AI solutions. So whatever the challenge 0:16:26.840 --> 0:16:29.840 you're facing, Microsoft empowers you with the expertise to say, 0:16:29.840 --> 0:16:32.440 bring it on. And in this segment, we spotlight the 0:16:32.520 --> 0:16:37.000 challenge faced by drafting Ronald Acunya. That's right, because you 0:16:37.120 --> 0:16:39.120 are going to miss him for a few weeks of 0:16:39.160 --> 0:16:42.960 the season, possibly into mid May, maybe late May. We 0:16:43.040 --> 0:16:45.200 don't know. What I do know is I did see 0:16:45.280 --> 0:16:49.040 Ronald Acunya fielding questions from reporters, and my goodness, he 0:16:49.120 --> 0:16:51.360 looked happy and lighthearted. He didn't seem like a guy 0:16:51.400 --> 0:16:53.520 who was in pain, didn't seem like a guy who 0:16:53.520 --> 0:16:55.720 had any issues. He said, he was basically ninety nine 0:16:55.920 --> 0:16:59.040 five percent already. That to me is a very positive sign. 0:16:59.400 --> 0:17:01.800 I think the language is important. I think the demeter 0:17:01.920 --> 0:17:03.760 is important when a guy's coming back for an injury. 0:17:04.160 --> 0:17:06.000 And the word he used when they asked him how 0:17:06.000 --> 0:17:08.840 do you feel? He said, I feel strong And guess 0:17:08.840 --> 0:17:11.720 what I feel strong too, Ronald. I feel strong about 0:17:11.760 --> 0:17:13.840
