<v Speaker 1>I'm Greg Sauceman joining us as he does each and

0:00:50.200 --> 0:00:52.640
<v Speaker 1>benders up. Chris, what up here? To close it out? Now?

0:00:52.800 --> 0:00:55.920
<v Speaker 1>Number two? You know what I'm saying. Here you go,

0:00:56.440 --> 0:00:59.560
<v Speaker 1>and we ended our number one trying to break down

0:00:59.600 --> 0:01:02.240
<v Speaker 1>Stay Harper and Judge. How do you have those three

0:01:02.240 --> 0:01:07.480
<v Speaker 1>outfielders ranked? So right now I have I have Harper

0:01:08.240 --> 0:01:09.880
<v Speaker 1>ahead of both of them. So he agrees with you.

0:01:11.640 --> 0:01:15.000
<v Speaker 1>I have a Judge Harper, I haven't Judge. I have

0:01:15.040 --> 0:01:18.039
<v Speaker 1>it Judge Harper standing, Judge Harper. I'm cool with that.

0:01:18.480 --> 0:01:20.600
<v Speaker 1>You know, I think my my logic is a more

0:01:20.959 --> 0:01:24.600
<v Speaker 1>normal one. I guess, Yeah, well, how does it a

0:01:24.680 --> 0:01:27.240
<v Speaker 1>more Yankee fan one is it? And if it's the

0:01:27.280 --> 0:01:30.040
<v Speaker 1>average deposition one to be Yankee, I just have standing

0:01:30.080 --> 0:01:34.679
<v Speaker 1>lass than that. Yeah. I mean, listen, Judge, I think

0:01:34.760 --> 0:01:37.800
<v Speaker 1>Judge and Harper should be had a standing though we agree,

0:01:37.800 --> 0:01:41.640
<v Speaker 1>I would say that we totally agree. Judge Harper, you

0:01:41.680 --> 0:01:43.640
<v Speaker 1>know you could interchange those I think they're both you know,

0:01:43.959 --> 0:01:46.080
<v Speaker 1>upsides crazy for both of them. So then let's get

0:01:46.120 --> 0:01:49.720
<v Speaker 1>to the next tier, if you will. I have one

0:01:49.720 --> 0:01:52.480
<v Speaker 1>other player in this tire, actually, Charlie Blackman. Yes, okay,

0:01:52.520 --> 0:01:53.880
<v Speaker 1>so Truli black is not in the the next year, it's

0:01:53.880 --> 0:01:55.040
<v Speaker 1>in this year. Okay. I like him in this to

0:01:55.040 --> 0:01:56.920
<v Speaker 1>you too, but I think in terms of a DP,

0:01:57.120 --> 0:01:58.880
<v Speaker 1>he is actually in the new That's kind of how

0:01:58.880 --> 0:02:02.040
<v Speaker 1>I was saying it. But you have Charlie Blackman's ADP

0:02:02.200 --> 0:02:05.240
<v Speaker 1>right now is twenty five in the NFBC over the

0:02:05.280 --> 0:02:08.920
<v Speaker 1>last week and a half. Frank believes he should be

0:02:09.360 --> 0:02:11.320
<v Speaker 1>you both believe I should say that he should believe

0:02:11.560 --> 0:02:15.680
<v Speaker 1>be in that Stanton, Judge Harper, it's here, Yeah, he's

0:02:15.720 --> 0:02:17.480
<v Speaker 1>like right at the end of that yeah, and I

0:02:17.520 --> 0:02:20.240
<v Speaker 1>agree with both of you completely because he's another one

0:02:20.240 --> 0:02:21.600
<v Speaker 1>of these guys. And I said it in the intro

0:02:22.080 --> 0:02:24.560
<v Speaker 1>that you're you're getting in the second round or in

0:02:24.600 --> 0:02:27.080
<v Speaker 1>a twelve team league of a two three turn that

0:02:27.120 --> 0:02:28.960
<v Speaker 1>has the ability to finish in the first round pick.

0:02:29.080 --> 0:02:32.720
<v Speaker 1>But Chris, if you look at Charlie Blackman, many people

0:02:32.840 --> 0:02:34.480
<v Speaker 1>think of Charlie Blackman, he's not the same guy that

0:02:34.520 --> 0:02:35.880
<v Speaker 1>he used to be. And I think that's why he's

0:02:35.880 --> 0:02:39.120
<v Speaker 1>continued to drop over the past, really steal the years, steals.

0:02:39.320 --> 0:02:45.600
<v Speaker 1>If that's not him anymore, why do you believe he's not?

0:02:45.280 --> 0:02:49.280
<v Speaker 1>It's he had one. It's not that and that's what

0:02:49.320 --> 0:02:54.520
<v Speaker 1>you got. Seriously, if you plan your draft beforehand, if

0:02:54.520 --> 0:02:56.560
<v Speaker 1>you're playing in a rod, if actually keep harping on this,

0:02:56.960 --> 0:02:59.280
<v Speaker 1>you have to if you don't plan on taking an

0:02:59.280 --> 0:03:02.320
<v Speaker 1>Adelbert to him honest see or a Malex Smith or

0:03:02.320 --> 0:03:05.200
<v Speaker 1>a d Gordon or a Billy Hamilton at your draft,

0:03:05.520 --> 0:03:07.919
<v Speaker 1>you just have to chip away. You have to keep

0:03:08.000 --> 0:03:11.560
<v Speaker 1>chipping away. It has to be you have to have

0:03:12.080 --> 0:03:14.200
<v Speaker 1>like everyone on your team has to be ten to

0:03:14.280 --> 0:03:17.880
<v Speaker 1>fifteen or at least eight to teneen. That's kind of

0:03:17.960 --> 0:03:20.440
<v Speaker 1>like what I'm I'm building right now, like Jose Ramirez

0:03:20.440 --> 0:03:23.880
<v Speaker 1>on my team is gonna give me totally five, Rice

0:03:23.880 --> 0:03:27.320
<v Speaker 1>Harper is gonna give me ten to twelve hopefully, Mitch

0:03:27.320 --> 0:03:31.000
<v Speaker 1>Haniger eight to ten, Labor Tores eight to ten. The

0:03:31.040 --> 0:03:33.560
<v Speaker 1>only persons I drafted so far who I'm basically expecting

0:03:33.560 --> 0:03:36.400
<v Speaker 1>a zero is Haze Sagar. And I wanted his his

0:03:36.440 --> 0:03:39.800
<v Speaker 1>power potential with with the counting stats in in Miller

0:03:39.800 --> 0:03:42.240
<v Speaker 1>Park in Milwaukee, and I thought he was like the

0:03:42.320 --> 0:03:45.600
<v Speaker 1>last of that first solid tier of first baseman, so

0:03:45.640 --> 0:03:48.160
<v Speaker 1>I wanted to get him on my team. But seriously,

0:03:48.200 --> 0:03:51.240
<v Speaker 1>like if you don't plan on taking a Mondescy, Billy Hamilton's,

0:03:51.240 --> 0:03:54.720
<v Speaker 1>Malex Smith or d Gordon, you just gotta chip away.

0:03:54.960 --> 0:03:57.040
<v Speaker 1>It seems like you know, at least you know every

0:03:57.040 --> 0:04:00.600
<v Speaker 1>other hitter picture has to be, you know, in the fifteen,

0:04:00.720 --> 0:04:02.480
<v Speaker 1>or you gotta get to manage sit somewhere that's you,

0:04:03.920 --> 0:04:07.080
<v Speaker 1>or you gotta get in the Metrose area. You have

0:04:07.200 --> 0:04:09.520
<v Speaker 1>to be conscious of these things. So I'm gonna keep

0:04:09.560 --> 0:04:12.480
<v Speaker 1>harving on that. And that's basically where I think, Uh,

0:04:12.560 --> 0:04:14.720
<v Speaker 1>I think black One's gonna be again, it's twelve to fifteen,

0:04:15.320 --> 0:04:19.520
<v Speaker 1>what about point? That's Rhodo right. So in points leagues,

0:04:20.800 --> 0:04:23.440
<v Speaker 1>volume is king. You want guys who are gonna hit

0:04:23.440 --> 0:04:25.120
<v Speaker 1>at the top of the lineup. We're gonna play every

0:04:25.160 --> 0:04:28.440
<v Speaker 1>single day that you don't have splits concerns about consistency.

0:04:28.560 --> 0:04:31.240
<v Speaker 1>And that's Charlie Blackman too. You know he's gonna play

0:04:31.279 --> 0:04:33.920
<v Speaker 1>every single day. He's leading off for arguably the best

0:04:33.920 --> 0:04:37.799
<v Speaker 1>line up in baseball, with the best home ballpark in baseball.

0:04:38.640 --> 0:04:40.480
<v Speaker 1>And because their lineup is so good and they turn

0:04:40.560 --> 0:04:43.159
<v Speaker 1>out somebody runs, he gets more at bats. So the

0:04:43.240 --> 0:04:46.640
<v Speaker 1>volume is there, like he's great regardless of format. In

0:04:46.640 --> 0:04:48.800
<v Speaker 1>my opinion, I think what people worry about and why

0:04:48.839 --> 0:04:51.920
<v Speaker 1>you see him going is to me, there were a

0:04:52.000 --> 0:04:57.560
<v Speaker 1>few warning signs last year in terms of a few

0:04:57.560 --> 0:05:00.080
<v Speaker 1>more swinging strikes, hitting the ball on the ground a

0:05:00.120 --> 0:05:02.839
<v Speaker 1>little bit more. He's thirty two years old. Everyone wants

0:05:02.880 --> 0:05:04.880
<v Speaker 1>to be, you know, one year early instead of one

0:05:04.960 --> 0:05:07.680
<v Speaker 1>year late. So I don't think this is a declined guy,

0:05:07.720 --> 0:05:12.120
<v Speaker 1>though I agree with I think, look, he's gonna he'll

0:05:12.200 --> 0:05:15.000
<v Speaker 1>I think he's gonna drop a little bit, but I

0:05:15.040 --> 0:05:16.440
<v Speaker 1>don't think it's gonna be to the point where he

0:05:16.440 --> 0:05:19.520
<v Speaker 1>doesn't return second round value. My my projection for him

0:05:19.520 --> 0:05:22.840
<v Speaker 1>is to ninety home runs, a hundred runs scored, board

0:05:22.880 --> 0:05:25.160
<v Speaker 1>seventy five RBI. You want the RB I higher, but

0:05:25.160 --> 0:05:30.440
<v Speaker 1>he's a leadoff hitter, twelve stolen bases, that's a second.

0:05:30.640 --> 0:05:33.440
<v Speaker 1>He's gonna have more than that. And exactly like, this

0:05:33.520 --> 0:05:35.719
<v Speaker 1>is a conservative projection, even if you even if everything

0:05:35.760 --> 0:05:37.600
<v Speaker 1>comes down a little bit, you have to think about this.

0:05:37.800 --> 0:05:39.560
<v Speaker 1>The last three seasons he's had at least a hundred

0:05:39.600 --> 0:05:42.599
<v Speaker 1>eleven runs scored and twenty nine home runs in each season.

0:05:43.520 --> 0:05:45.159
<v Speaker 1>So I think that he's at least still a lot

0:05:45.200 --> 0:05:49.440
<v Speaker 1>for you know, maybe it's not runs but home runs.

0:05:49.440 --> 0:05:51.400
<v Speaker 1>He's gonna give you a hundred runs scored, and again

0:05:51.400 --> 0:05:53.440
<v Speaker 1>he's gonna be twelve to fifteen stolen bases, and he's

0:05:53.440 --> 0:05:55.159
<v Speaker 1>gonna give you a good batty. And he even has

0:05:55.200 --> 0:05:57.560
<v Speaker 1>the upside of even hitting thirty five homes. I mean,

0:05:57.600 --> 0:05:59.719
<v Speaker 1>he can do that. He's hit thirty seven if he

0:05:59.760 --> 0:06:03.640
<v Speaker 1>has some kind of random like renaissance season, or if

0:06:03.640 --> 0:06:05.159
<v Speaker 1>he just has even if he has a month where

0:06:05.200 --> 0:06:08.240
<v Speaker 1>he was just tearing the baseball, that could be the

0:06:08.240 --> 0:06:11.000
<v Speaker 1>difference between twenty eight homers and homes. I think people

0:06:11.000 --> 0:06:14.080
<v Speaker 1>will be surprised when Uniue'charlie Blackman's line from last year

0:06:14.600 --> 0:06:21.520
<v Speaker 1>and they see, holy crap, hundred nineteen runs runs scored

0:06:21.560 --> 0:06:24.359
<v Speaker 1>in three straight seasons. It's very impressive. I think the

0:06:24.400 --> 0:06:26.080
<v Speaker 1>problem is, I know you just harped on it. These

0:06:26.200 --> 0:06:28.880
<v Speaker 1>getting Hose Prazza later or somebody that has some speed later.

0:06:29.360 --> 0:06:32.400
<v Speaker 1>But this dude is not a thirty home thirty steel guy.

0:06:32.720 --> 0:06:34.880
<v Speaker 1>He's not a twenty steel guy. He's a twelve to

0:06:35.000 --> 0:06:37.400
<v Speaker 1>fifteen stone more days guy at this point. That's it.

0:06:37.600 --> 0:06:40.800
<v Speaker 1>That's it. He realistic expectations. A lot of the You'll

0:06:40.800 --> 0:06:42.880
<v Speaker 1>see a lot of players do this where they they

0:06:42.880 --> 0:06:45.760
<v Speaker 1>steal forty thirty bases when they're younger now, and he

0:06:45.800 --> 0:06:48.719
<v Speaker 1>didn't have the power when he was younger, he was ms.

0:06:48.880 --> 0:06:51.799
<v Speaker 1>Now he's gained a lot more power and lost the speed.

0:06:51.800 --> 0:06:53.239
<v Speaker 1>This happens to a lot of guys that get older.

0:06:53.320 --> 0:06:56.160
<v Speaker 1>So you're not really substituting the power for the speed

0:06:56.200 --> 0:06:58.320
<v Speaker 1>because he's stole forty at one point. Now he's stealing

0:06:58.360 --> 0:07:01.680
<v Speaker 1>like twelve and fifteen, but you are getting something turned

0:07:01.680 --> 0:07:04.719
<v Speaker 1>by him adding power to the reason. The reason that

0:07:04.800 --> 0:07:06.800
<v Speaker 1>I questioned if he should be in that tier or

0:07:06.839 --> 0:07:10.160
<v Speaker 1>not is a player that you hate, frank And that's

0:07:10.200 --> 0:07:13.520
<v Speaker 1>Andrew ben Intendie. Because Andrew Benintendie, over his two seasons

0:07:13.800 --> 0:07:16.200
<v Speaker 1>in the major leagues, has that twenty stolen bases in

0:07:16.280 --> 0:07:17.960
<v Speaker 1>each one, so that at this point is more than

0:07:18.040 --> 0:07:20.440
<v Speaker 1>Charlie Blackman. Black Men last year had the twenty nine

0:07:20.440 --> 0:07:22.920
<v Speaker 1>home runs. Obviously, ben intendie struggle of that department went

0:07:22.920 --> 0:07:26.480
<v Speaker 1>down from sixteen. Many people believe that ben Intendi can

0:07:26.480 --> 0:07:28.760
<v Speaker 1>go back up in the home run department and could

0:07:28.800 --> 0:07:31.920
<v Speaker 1>has the ability to potentially get you twenty five home

0:07:32.000 --> 0:07:35.160
<v Speaker 1>runs and twenty steals. You get that, You're like, wait

0:07:35.200 --> 0:07:37.800
<v Speaker 1>a minute, why wouldn't I take this guy over a

0:07:37.840 --> 0:07:40.360
<v Speaker 1>potentially to Charlie Blackman, because he also has the ability

0:07:40.400 --> 0:07:42.960
<v Speaker 1>to have a hundred runs scored like Blackman does, have

0:07:43.040 --> 0:07:45.680
<v Speaker 1>an average around where black Man is strikes out a

0:07:45.680 --> 0:07:48.160
<v Speaker 1>little bit less than black does more rb I is

0:07:48.200 --> 0:07:51.760
<v Speaker 1>potentially Boston's a good spot to hidden, not like Horace,

0:07:51.800 --> 0:07:54.440
<v Speaker 1>but Boston's a good spot that hidden. Frankie, you don't

0:07:54.520 --> 0:07:57.680
<v Speaker 1>like Andrew Benintendie, yet you still are very much. You

0:07:57.720 --> 0:08:01.120
<v Speaker 1>know Charlie Blackman. How come it's a good question. Look

0:08:01.200 --> 0:08:05.240
<v Speaker 1>with black Men, it's he's He's done it three years

0:08:05.240 --> 0:08:06.760
<v Speaker 1>in a row in terms of the runs, right, like

0:08:08.480 --> 0:08:11.000
<v Speaker 1>a hundred and eleven runs. Yeah, I realized that. And

0:08:11.040 --> 0:08:12.560
<v Speaker 1>you know, look, you do want to try and get

0:08:12.560 --> 0:08:15.000
<v Speaker 1>the stole the stolen basis. But black men, I mean,

0:08:15.440 --> 0:08:17.120
<v Speaker 1>Ben Tendi has been twenty and twenty one in the

0:08:17.160 --> 0:08:20.600
<v Speaker 1>past two years. It's not like he's thirty, like he's yeah,

0:08:20.600 --> 0:08:23.280
<v Speaker 1>he's gonna get you know, he seven, he might get.

0:08:23.320 --> 0:08:26.080
<v Speaker 1>You know, he's gonna have seven eight more than black men. Okay,

0:08:26.120 --> 0:08:27.640
<v Speaker 1>I think black men is still safe for in terms

0:08:27.680 --> 0:08:30.080
<v Speaker 1>of batting average two because Ben Tendi. Yea, he was

0:08:30.120 --> 0:08:31.800
<v Speaker 1>too ninety last year. The year before that he was

0:08:31.800 --> 0:08:34.640
<v Speaker 1>to seventy one. And he still struggles against left handed pitching.

0:08:35.120 --> 0:08:37.920
<v Speaker 1>Ben Tendi in his career sucks against left handed pitching.

0:08:38.559 --> 0:08:41.280
<v Speaker 1>We had this right now. Ben in Tendy is has

0:08:41.320 --> 0:08:43.640
<v Speaker 1>a two thirty four career batting average but a six

0:08:43.720 --> 0:08:46.920
<v Speaker 1>four one ops against lefties in his career. So he's

0:08:47.000 --> 0:08:49.839
<v Speaker 1>he's gonna struggle against lefties. Yes, he's gonna lead off

0:08:49.840 --> 0:08:53.280
<v Speaker 1>for this lineup. I think the runs could be similar. Um,

0:08:53.320 --> 0:08:55.280
<v Speaker 1>you know, he had eighty seven runs scored last year,

0:08:55.280 --> 0:08:58.240
<v Speaker 1>but that was with him batting second in the lineup.

0:08:58.440 --> 0:09:00.360
<v Speaker 1>For the Red Sox. Now he's gonna move to eat off.

0:09:00.360 --> 0:09:02.040
<v Speaker 1>So I think the RBI has come down a little bit,

0:09:02.200 --> 0:09:05.080
<v Speaker 1>probably similar to whatever. You know. Charlie Blackman is gonna

0:09:05.080 --> 0:09:09.240
<v Speaker 1>be seventy five, maybe eighty and black men safer for

0:09:09.280 --> 0:09:12.800
<v Speaker 1>Homer runs too, and then he's been twenty and sixteen

0:09:13.080 --> 0:09:15.120
<v Speaker 1>the only way. And you know, I actually put a

0:09:15.160 --> 0:09:18.160
<v Speaker 1>poll out before the show. You know which second round outfields,

0:09:18.640 --> 0:09:21.640
<v Speaker 1>second third round Outfiel do you want intend? He's leading

0:09:21.679 --> 0:09:24.679
<v Speaker 1>the pole by a little bit. He's ahead of Blackman,

0:09:24.679 --> 0:09:26.400
<v Speaker 1>he's ahead of Marte, he's a head of Wan Soto.

0:09:26.880 --> 0:09:29.320
<v Speaker 1>So people are buying that the power is gonna come.

0:09:29.720 --> 0:09:31.680
<v Speaker 1>If you buy that, he's going to project and move

0:09:31.760 --> 0:09:35.320
<v Speaker 1>forward and become a twenty five you know, maybe upper

0:09:35.360 --> 0:09:37.800
<v Speaker 1>twenties home run guy. And yeah, you're in the camp

0:09:37.880 --> 0:09:39.280
<v Speaker 1>that wants to take him in the second round. Maybe

0:09:39.280 --> 0:09:40.880
<v Speaker 1>you want to take him. My head of Charlie black

0:09:41.040 --> 0:09:43.640
<v Speaker 1>and me, I don't. I know that he's still young,

0:09:44.080 --> 0:09:46.280
<v Speaker 1>but based on his hard hit rate it was down

0:09:46.400 --> 0:09:49.720
<v Speaker 1>last year, was below I can't really project him to

0:09:49.760 --> 0:09:54.920
<v Speaker 1>take the next step yet. Now you would think I would.

0:09:55.880 --> 0:09:58.880
<v Speaker 1>He's young. Come on, he's young, Come on, got upside

0:09:59.240 --> 0:10:04.120
<v Speaker 1>the red, but I'm gonna go Blackman, Okay, just a

0:10:04.160 --> 0:10:07.280
<v Speaker 1>lot safer, I think right now. I do think that

0:10:07.360 --> 0:10:09.800
<v Speaker 1>I understand why people would draft Ben Tenni before him, though,

0:10:09.800 --> 0:10:12.240
<v Speaker 1>because like I could see why, like you're saying the leftist,

0:10:12.280 --> 0:10:14.480
<v Speaker 1>but he could easily improve on that, Like he's twenty

0:10:14.520 --> 0:10:17.080
<v Speaker 1>four years old. I mean you can't. You can't negate that.

0:10:17.120 --> 0:10:19.040
<v Speaker 1>Like he's growing as a player. You went from two

0:10:19.040 --> 0:10:21.000
<v Speaker 1>seventy one to nine batting average. You know, the guy

0:10:21.000 --> 0:10:23.280
<v Speaker 1>could hit. I don't know. The stone base is a

0:10:23.280 --> 0:10:25.280
<v Speaker 1>hard thing to predict. He could go. He could go

0:10:25.320 --> 0:10:28.480
<v Speaker 1>from basis tow to twelve himself. I mean it all

0:10:28.520 --> 0:10:31.360
<v Speaker 1>depends on what, like how the system where he's batting

0:10:31.360 --> 0:10:33.839
<v Speaker 1>in a lineup, how well he's doing, if he's getting

0:10:33.840 --> 0:10:36.600
<v Speaker 1>caught stealing, like all that stuff matters. So I don't

0:10:36.640 --> 0:10:38.520
<v Speaker 1>think he's a prolific base steal by. I mean he's

0:10:38.520 --> 0:10:40.640
<v Speaker 1>he'll never reach thirty. I think he's gonna be around

0:10:40.640 --> 0:10:43.280
<v Speaker 1>the fifteen to twenty guys whole career. But it's a

0:10:43.440 --> 0:10:45.480
<v Speaker 1>question is the power. Will the power come? And I

0:10:45.480 --> 0:10:47.520
<v Speaker 1>think it will. He have forty one doubles last year,

0:10:47.600 --> 0:10:50.320
<v Speaker 1>right Eventually those are gonna turn into power as he

0:10:50.360 --> 0:10:53.200
<v Speaker 1>gets older. But I think right now black Men is

0:10:53.200 --> 0:10:54.920
<v Speaker 1>the safer pick. I would rather go black Man. I

0:10:54.960 --> 0:10:57.040
<v Speaker 1>think he's safe to the point where this could be

0:10:57.600 --> 0:11:00.439
<v Speaker 1>uh which, well, Ben in Tenni's ceiling is what Blackman?

0:11:00.520 --> 0:11:02.680
<v Speaker 1>Did you know? Not last year, maybe two years ago,

0:11:02.720 --> 0:11:04.720
<v Speaker 1>but Frankie put but frank pointed out when it comes

0:11:04.720 --> 0:11:06.680
<v Speaker 1>when you're trying to break down Judge versus Harper, and

0:11:06.679 --> 0:11:09.520
<v Speaker 1>you're we're trying to break down Judge versus Stanton, standing

0:11:09.600 --> 0:11:13.840
<v Speaker 1>versus Harper, whatever, that those extra stolen bases matter. They

0:11:13.920 --> 0:11:17.400
<v Speaker 1>ultimately matter when you're putting your team together, and you're right,

0:11:18.040 --> 0:11:19.640
<v Speaker 1>maybe it's twenty stolen based guy for next couple of

0:11:19.720 --> 0:11:21.160
<v Speaker 1>years and then go down to fifteen, down to twelve

0:11:21.240 --> 0:11:23.280
<v Speaker 1>kind of like black Man has. You're right, and maybe

0:11:23.280 --> 0:11:27.400
<v Speaker 1>what black Man right now, no doubt he is. And

0:11:27.440 --> 0:11:30.240
<v Speaker 1>if you think that Benn in Tendie could increase those

0:11:30.240 --> 0:11:34.040
<v Speaker 1>home runs up to around twenty five, then you should

0:11:34.040 --> 0:11:37.319
<v Speaker 1>take Ben and Tendie. Yeah, you don't have torn that's

0:11:37.360 --> 0:11:40.880
<v Speaker 1>fine the case for Andrews, right, and then fine, And

0:11:40.920 --> 0:11:43.559
<v Speaker 1>if people trust that, like you know me personally, I

0:11:43.600 --> 0:11:46.840
<v Speaker 1>think he might be closer to like eight hitter Blackman,

0:11:47.280 --> 0:11:50.800
<v Speaker 1>he's consistently around three hundred. Oh the batting average matters too.

0:11:52.400 --> 0:11:57.440
<v Speaker 1>I mean, you know, I wouldn't be surprised. He's a career,

0:11:57.960 --> 0:12:00.160
<v Speaker 1>his career, right one bit if he hit three ten

0:12:00.240 --> 0:12:02.480
<v Speaker 1>or three fifteen this year, it kind of would it

0:12:02.520 --> 0:12:03.920
<v Speaker 1>would I don't I don't know. I don't think it

0:12:03.920 --> 0:12:10.160
<v Speaker 1>would surprise. Eighty seven then three twenty four, two n

0:12:10.480 --> 0:12:13.240
<v Speaker 1>three or two to me, I look at this, dude

0:12:13.480 --> 0:12:15.400
<v Speaker 1>is a two nights. I think I'll hit two ninety again,

0:12:15.440 --> 0:12:22.000
<v Speaker 1>I really do. But he's a safer one thousand. What

0:12:22.160 --> 0:12:25.160
<v Speaker 1>is what is black Men's floor? Like, even even if

0:12:25.160 --> 0:12:30.920
<v Speaker 1>he starts to like to eight, probably his floor. What's

0:12:30.960 --> 0:12:35.760
<v Speaker 1>Benintenni's floor to fifty to sixty maybe six sixty five,

0:12:36.040 --> 0:12:40.240
<v Speaker 1>that's the difference he had to seventy one, which that

0:12:40.320 --> 0:12:43.280
<v Speaker 1>was his lowest, you know, maybe two seventy. But again

0:12:43.640 --> 0:12:46.120
<v Speaker 1>and you and you accuse yourself of this, right, Like

0:12:46.760 --> 0:12:49.880
<v Speaker 1>he's a young guy. He was twenty three two, twenty three,

0:12:50.200 --> 0:12:53.520
<v Speaker 1>twenty four, so it's like he's still with the rowing.

0:12:53.600 --> 0:12:56.080
<v Speaker 1>He is even in the league for three seasons already

0:12:56.120 --> 0:12:59.440
<v Speaker 1>though like this already four games the first season. It

0:12:59.480 --> 0:13:02.880
<v Speaker 1>was the first full season, and there's two full seasons

0:13:02.880 --> 0:13:05.679
<v Speaker 1>in the league. If you're buying the third year breakout, fine,

0:13:05.760 --> 0:13:09.559
<v Speaker 1>that's you. But I haven't seen in terms of where

0:13:09.640 --> 0:13:12.600
<v Speaker 1>I want to see him improve getting better against lefties

0:13:12.640 --> 0:13:14.800
<v Speaker 1>now of interesting, he could get better against lefties, and

0:13:14.840 --> 0:13:19.439
<v Speaker 1>he definitely could, but over his two full seasons, hasn't

0:13:20.600 --> 0:13:25.720
<v Speaker 1>he He hasn't showed it. He had, you know, his

0:13:25.760 --> 0:13:29.200
<v Speaker 1>ability to to make optimal contact, hit the ball hard,

0:13:29.280 --> 0:13:30.920
<v Speaker 1>and that hasn't improved on that. And that's what I

0:13:30.920 --> 0:13:33.200
<v Speaker 1>want to mention. Hit against lefties. He hasn't been like,

0:13:33.280 --> 0:13:35.040
<v Speaker 1>he hasn't improved. This is what I want to mention again,

0:13:35.040 --> 0:13:36.520
<v Speaker 1>it's the hard hit Ray Fans, You've been attended and

0:13:36.600 --> 0:13:42.880
<v Speaker 1>I've been fighting attend. That was the Huges. He has

0:13:42.880 --> 0:13:44.520
<v Speaker 1>to hit the ball hard her. Yeah, that about it,

0:13:44.760 --> 0:13:47.960
<v Speaker 1>you know, and an error where everyone is ripping the

0:13:47.960 --> 0:13:52.960
<v Speaker 1>ball ratio under ten percent. How do you see a

0:13:52.960 --> 0:13:55.760
<v Speaker 1>guy go from you know percent to thirty eight percent

0:13:55.800 --> 0:14:00.600
<v Speaker 1>the next year? Like you see that high, but you

0:14:00.600 --> 0:14:02.959
<v Speaker 1>you can expect some sort of progression with this kid.

0:14:03.000 --> 0:14:04.440
<v Speaker 1>I mean, twenty three years old to hit to nine

0:14:04.559 --> 0:14:06.520
<v Speaker 1>in the MLB, that's nothing. To sneeze that, Frank, what

0:14:06.559 --> 0:14:08.800
<v Speaker 1>outfielders do you have ahead of Andrew Ben and Tende

0:14:08.920 --> 0:14:17.040
<v Speaker 1>between Charlie blackman Um he starts laughing. Let's get into

0:14:17.080 --> 0:14:22.040
<v Speaker 1>Sterling Martete. Starling Marte was paired with Christian Yellis. We

0:14:22.080 --> 0:14:25.160
<v Speaker 1>just said in your Great Fantasy Base Invitational. Yes, all right,

0:14:25.400 --> 0:14:30.320
<v Speaker 1>so Starling Marte is he's not pretty chicken anymore. He's

0:14:30.360 --> 0:14:34.640
<v Speaker 1>now thirty years old. Starring Marty always gets drafted around here,

0:14:34.680 --> 0:14:38.880
<v Speaker 1>seemingly every year because of his ability to steal uh

0:14:38.960 --> 0:14:45.240
<v Speaker 1>forty one steals in thirty thirty seven and sixteen in

0:14:45.360 --> 0:14:49.560
<v Speaker 1>just seventy seven games at one hundred forty five games,

0:14:49.600 --> 0:14:55.360
<v Speaker 1>thirty three stealers. Last year he's consistently stolen around thirty bases. Yes, again,

0:14:55.440 --> 0:14:57.800
<v Speaker 1>he's a year older. It was always the home runs,

0:14:57.800 --> 0:15:00.800
<v Speaker 1>the power that you were scared off on thirteen home

0:15:00.840 --> 0:15:05.080
<v Speaker 1>runs nineteen fifteen. You thought the power was coming and

0:15:05.120 --> 0:15:10.120
<v Speaker 1>its disappeared nine sixteen in seventy seven games. Last it's seven,

0:15:10.280 --> 0:15:12.600
<v Speaker 1>and then he was back up to twenty last year.

0:15:13.000 --> 0:15:14.760
<v Speaker 1>I look at Starring Marte and I see a guy

0:15:14.800 --> 0:15:18.440
<v Speaker 1>that's probably gonna about to seventy five to eighty realistically

0:15:19.120 --> 0:15:22.760
<v Speaker 1>that probably will steal around thirty bases because that's just

0:15:22.800 --> 0:15:25.640
<v Speaker 1>what he does. Right, He's a two six career hitters,

0:15:25.680 --> 0:15:30.240
<v Speaker 1>so seventy seven last time look at the past seen

0:15:30.240 --> 0:15:33.120
<v Speaker 1>he was hurt. He played hurt. Yeah, and he also

0:15:33.160 --> 0:15:35.320
<v Speaker 1>I think he got suspended. He got suspended. That's what happened.

0:15:35.360 --> 0:15:41.320
<v Speaker 1>Suspended year. I mean Seen was as three eleven. So

0:15:41.400 --> 0:15:45.400
<v Speaker 1>that's like the higher end. What stories contribute to? Yeah,

0:15:45.440 --> 0:15:47.760
<v Speaker 1>he just I just want to say what a stories

0:15:47.760 --> 0:15:49.840
<v Speaker 1>contribute to. I want to say, that's just power. But

0:15:49.880 --> 0:15:51.400
<v Speaker 1>even the eye, right, I don't know what he was taking,

0:15:51.480 --> 0:15:53.640
<v Speaker 1>but he might have taken the Adderall power came back

0:15:53.680 --> 0:15:59.560
<v Speaker 1>after the steroids. It did, scored seventy r b. He's

0:15:59.560 --> 0:16:02.240
<v Speaker 1>not a comp eleet like nothing in power. You know,

0:16:02.280 --> 0:16:04.680
<v Speaker 1>I wouldn't project him for twenty home runs. I think

0:16:04.720 --> 0:16:08.560
<v Speaker 1>he's more like a probably like sixteen eighteen. Probably he's

0:16:08.600 --> 0:16:11.840
<v Speaker 1>like Tray Turner light. You know, trade Turner is gonna

0:16:11.880 --> 0:16:14.200
<v Speaker 1>give you closer twenty home runs. The difference between him

0:16:14.200 --> 0:16:16.640
<v Speaker 1>and Trade Turner is the Turner is going to give you.

0:16:16.920 --> 0:16:20.000
<v Speaker 1>He's gonna walk more, and he's I mean, Turner has

0:16:20.000 --> 0:16:22.520
<v Speaker 1>the ability he's gonna give you forty stolen basis, that's

0:16:22.520 --> 0:16:24.160
<v Speaker 1>just fair in my opinion, if he stays healthful, he

0:16:24.160 --> 0:16:26.280
<v Speaker 1>stay has the ability to steal fifty. You know, he

0:16:26.280 --> 0:16:28.240
<v Speaker 1>has the ability to steal sixty. That's trade. I also

0:16:28.280 --> 0:16:31.840
<v Speaker 1>think trade Turner could hit homeless. But you know, with

0:16:33.440 --> 0:16:37.880
<v Speaker 1>Starling Marte then the stolen stolen based conversion ratio was

0:16:37.920 --> 0:16:39.280
<v Speaker 1>not great. Lest here. I mean he was thirty three,

0:16:39.280 --> 0:16:44.000
<v Speaker 1>he was caught stealing, but he he ran forty seven times.

0:16:44.440 --> 0:16:46.280
<v Speaker 1>Is gonna keep saying, m yeah, I mean yeah, like

0:16:46.320 --> 0:16:48.360
<v Speaker 1>what else how they're going to generate offense in the

0:16:48.360 --> 0:16:50.640
<v Speaker 1>picture line up? Like he's he's at the center of everything,

0:16:50.720 --> 0:16:52.320
<v Speaker 1>the star, one of the stars of that team. So

0:16:52.400 --> 0:16:56.640
<v Speaker 1>he at this point, at this point, this is and

0:16:56.760 --> 0:16:59.880
<v Speaker 1>you know, maybe you guys could could disagree. This is

0:17:00.040 --> 0:17:03.240
<v Speaker 1>where I pull him off over Ben and Tendee because

0:17:03.480 --> 0:17:07.080
<v Speaker 1>the stolen basis, to me, he's gonna givet is gonna

0:17:07.119 --> 0:17:10.080
<v Speaker 1>give closer to thirty five, maybe forty with as many

0:17:10.119 --> 0:17:12.520
<v Speaker 1>as you know, as many as he attempts the runs

0:17:12.600 --> 0:17:16.360
<v Speaker 1>RBIs maybe not as much. You know, the batty evergeens

0:17:16.480 --> 0:17:18.280
<v Speaker 1>at home months. I don't think it's that far off either.

0:17:18.520 --> 0:17:20.720
<v Speaker 1>We'll talk more about these guys one soda as well,

0:17:49.720 --> 0:17:55.480
<v Speaker 1>best DFS players. Joined Daily Rodo dot com. Hi, my

0:17:55.560 --> 0:17:58.240
<v Speaker 1>name is Lily. My mom and dad used to fight

0:17:58.280 --> 0:18:01.640
<v Speaker 1>about money all the time. Then one day I heard

0:18:01.640 --> 0:18:05.320
<v Speaker 1>them talking about this guy, some uncle I never knew,

0:18:05.440 --> 0:18:09.160
<v Speaker 1>called Uncle Sam. Well, they say, this Uncle Sam guy

0:18:09.440 --> 0:18:13.199
<v Speaker 1>wanted them to pay him like a gazillion dollars, and

0:18:13.240 --> 0:18:16.040
<v Speaker 1>they didn't have a gazillion dollars. So they called this

0:18:16.200 --> 0:18:19.480
<v Speaker 1>company they heard on the radio called the tax Doctor.

0:18:19.560 --> 0:18:23.040
<v Speaker 1>And the tax Doctor worked with Uncle Sam's people. I

0:18:23.080 --> 0:18:26.760
<v Speaker 1>think they're called the I R S and they're able

0:18:26.800 --> 0:18:28.880
<v Speaker 1>to work it out. So my mom and dad didn't

0:18:28.880 --> 0:18:31.840
<v Speaker 1>have to pay Uncle Sam very much money at all.

0:18:32.080 --> 0:18:35.040
<v Speaker 1>So now mom and dad are happy and I'm happy

0:18:35.119 --> 0:18:39.240
<v Speaker 1>to thanks Tax Doctor. If you owe ten thousand dollars

0:18:39.320 --> 0:18:41.400
<v Speaker 1>or more to the I R S or State call

0:18:41.560 --> 0:18:46.000
<v Speaker 1>now and pay less eight hundred one five one seven

0:18:46.080 --> 0:18:50.240
<v Speaker 1>to seven. Eight hundred one five one seven to seven.

0:18:50.560 --> 0:18:58.040
<v Speaker 1>That's eight hundred seventy seven game time decisions that it

0:18:58.160 --> 0:19:00.639
<v Speaker 1>could have been worse as off. Like they screwed me.

0:19:00.680 --> 0:19:02.639
<v Speaker 1>They charged me fifty dollars for a backbow for a

0:19:02.680 --> 0:19:04.879
<v Speaker 1>carry on. Yeah, I hate that, Like I'm starting to

0:19:05.000 --> 0:19:07.040
<v Speaker 1>hate Airporter, like I'm not I'm not using that more

0:19:07.160 --> 0:19:09.320

0:19:54.119 --> 0:19:58.800
<v Speaker 1>they needs right. I think it absolutely needs to um

0:19:58.840 --> 0:20:01.000
<v Speaker 1>because we're trying to figure out what to do with

0:20:01.040 --> 0:20:04.280
<v Speaker 1>these outfielders and Frank has One Soto and Starling Marte

0:20:04.640 --> 0:20:08.240
<v Speaker 1>in between, Charlie Blackman and Andrew ben Attendi and his rankings.

<v Speaker 1>drink message Jim and Venom and you'll probably give you

0:20:37.680 --> 0:20:43.480
<v Speaker 1>his rankings. Yeah. Absolutely, come up with a Fortnite season pass.

0:20:43.560 --> 0:20:47.040
<v Speaker 1>Doesn't already got the free season passed. Believe me, if

0:20:47.080 --> 0:20:50.080
<v Speaker 1>you want Chris Bench's rankings, he will get them. See you.

0:20:50.119 --> 0:20:51.639
<v Speaker 1>It's just a small fresh to pay if that's all

0:20:51.680 --> 0:20:54.919
<v Speaker 1>it is. All right? So we're talking about starring Marte

0:20:55.200 --> 0:20:58.160
<v Speaker 1>during during the break? Do you have Marte in front

0:20:58.320 --> 0:21:00.080
<v Speaker 1>or behind ben Attendi? I know you have black in

0:21:00.200 --> 0:21:02.560
<v Speaker 1>one out of those guys like Frank, does you both

0:21:02.560 --> 0:21:04.240
<v Speaker 1>have them actually in the other tier and at the

0:21:04.280 --> 0:21:05.840
<v Speaker 1>end of the tier you both have in the other

0:21:05.880 --> 0:21:08.880
<v Speaker 1>tier where starring Martake just more take compared to ben

0:21:08.880 --> 0:21:13.520
<v Speaker 1>In Tendi. I have Marte like right behind ben Intendiah.

0:21:13.560 --> 0:21:18.280
<v Speaker 1>How come uh upside obviously of benn In Tendi. I

0:21:18.280 --> 0:21:20.600
<v Speaker 1>think he's gonna hit a higher average than Marte. He

0:21:20.680 --> 0:21:23.040
<v Speaker 1>walks more, Uh, he does a lot more things that

0:21:23.080 --> 0:21:25.520
<v Speaker 1>I like. The doubles, the bags are gonna be on

0:21:25.800 --> 0:21:28.720
<v Speaker 1>Marte's favor I think that the power also, benn In

0:21:28.800 --> 0:21:31.760
<v Speaker 1>Tendie is either gonna be on par with Marte or better.

0:21:32.359 --> 0:21:34.360
<v Speaker 1>I just think he's gonna improve in all the categories

0:21:34.359 --> 0:21:36.280
<v Speaker 1>that Marte. We know what he's gonna do, and you

0:21:36.320 --> 0:21:37.639
<v Speaker 1>know what I'm saying. You know what he is at

0:21:37.640 --> 0:21:39.760
<v Speaker 1>this point at thirty years old, even though he's had

0:21:39.840 --> 0:21:42.680
<v Speaker 1>kind of an erratic career in terms of everything pretty much,

0:21:43.520 --> 0:21:46.920
<v Speaker 1>especially the power. But I just I like ben Intendie's

0:21:47.000 --> 0:21:49.000
<v Speaker 1>upside a little bit more than Marte's. I like Marte

0:21:49.040 --> 0:21:51.919
<v Speaker 1>has like a solid safe play to draft after him.

0:21:51.920 --> 0:21:53.360
<v Speaker 1>But if you want upside and you want a guy

0:21:53.400 --> 0:21:55.160
<v Speaker 1>that could be your number one outfielder or a top

0:21:55.400 --> 0:21:57.720
<v Speaker 1>twenty player, I think ben Intendi is a guy that

0:21:57.720 --> 0:21:59.200
<v Speaker 1>could do that for you. So I think the reason

0:21:59.200 --> 0:22:00.920
<v Speaker 1>that frank I don't what your mouth, Frankie, but I

0:22:00.960 --> 0:22:02.040
<v Speaker 1>think the one of the reasons that you don't have

0:22:02.080 --> 0:22:04.560
<v Speaker 1>Benintenni is because you don't think Bendi Benintenni could do

0:22:04.600 --> 0:22:06.359
<v Speaker 1>what Ventor is saying. You don't think he could have

0:22:06.480 --> 0:22:08.520
<v Speaker 1>the ability to beat at number one outfields or hit

0:22:08.520 --> 0:22:10.560
<v Speaker 1>the third home runs that Chris thinks he could grow into.

0:22:10.680 --> 0:22:12.639
<v Speaker 1>Is that fair? Yep, that is fair. I will say this.

0:22:12.680 --> 0:22:15.200
<v Speaker 1>I think ben Intendi is better for points leagues because

0:22:15.240 --> 0:22:18.080
<v Speaker 1>he walks more. He walks about five percent more he

0:22:18.119 --> 0:22:19.840
<v Speaker 1>makes They both make a lot of contact. They both

0:22:19.880 --> 0:22:22.400
<v Speaker 1>don't strike out all that much. But the plate discipline

0:22:22.440 --> 0:22:25.720
<v Speaker 1>overall is better for Benintendi. And you know, again, the

0:22:25.800 --> 0:22:28.160
<v Speaker 1>volume he's gonna hit at the top of the Red

0:22:28.160 --> 0:22:31.399
<v Speaker 1>Sox lineup, He's gonna see a few more plate appearances

0:22:31.800 --> 0:22:35.240
<v Speaker 1>at batts per game than Stally Martei is just because

0:22:35.280 --> 0:22:37.000
<v Speaker 1>I look, the Red Sox lineup is better than the

0:22:37.000 --> 0:22:40.040
<v Speaker 1>Pittsburgh Pirates, There's no doubt about it. So in points leagues,

0:22:40.440 --> 0:22:42.240
<v Speaker 1>the volume, the plate disciplined a little bit better. I

0:22:42.240 --> 0:22:45.960
<v Speaker 1>would take Benintendi over Starring Marte for Rhodo right, just

0:22:46.119 --> 0:22:49.480
<v Speaker 1>kind of putting them up against each each other. I

0:22:49.520 --> 0:22:52.080
<v Speaker 1>think the batting average is similar for both. I think

0:22:52.160 --> 0:22:55.720
<v Speaker 1>the solimations are the biggest difference. I think staring Marte

0:22:55.880 --> 0:22:58.320
<v Speaker 1>is like, you know, in that thirty five range, that

0:22:58.400 --> 0:23:00.600
<v Speaker 1>mid thirties, maybe even has the upside to steal close

0:23:00.640 --> 0:23:02.760
<v Speaker 1>to forty if he plays the full season. Yeah, but

0:23:02.840 --> 0:23:07.200
<v Speaker 1>you know, the home runs um probably similar, maybe slight

0:23:07.320 --> 0:23:10.600
<v Speaker 1>edge to be Nintendie. The runs for ben Intendee r

0:23:10.680 --> 0:23:12.800
<v Speaker 1>b I s probably for ben Intendie as well. So

0:23:13.200 --> 0:23:15.480
<v Speaker 1>it's really the stolen bases. And you know, I think

0:23:15.480 --> 0:23:18.200
<v Speaker 1>the home runs in the batting average will be close one.

0:23:18.280 --> 0:23:20.560
<v Speaker 1>So does the other guy we have in this mix,

0:23:20.720 --> 0:23:24.920
<v Speaker 1>Frank and One. Soto, unbelievably enough, was nineteen years old

0:23:24.920 --> 0:23:28.080
<v Speaker 1>throughout lest season this year. He's going to be twenty

0:23:28.160 --> 0:23:31.600
<v Speaker 1>obviously throughout the next season. Hundred sixteen games in the

0:23:31.640 --> 0:23:34.240
<v Speaker 1>majors last year, he had twenty two home runs while

0:23:34.240 --> 0:23:36.960
<v Speaker 1>patting two nine two strugg out of the time, but

0:23:36.960 --> 0:23:41.200
<v Speaker 1>he walks sixteen percent of the time. His eyes just ridiculous.

0:23:41.720 --> 0:23:44.080
<v Speaker 1>Batting average balls and play was three thirty eight throughout

0:23:44.119 --> 0:23:46.879
<v Speaker 1>the minors. His batting average balls in play was always

0:23:46.880 --> 0:23:50.560
<v Speaker 1>above three eight he had. He started last year in

0:23:51.000 --> 0:23:54.159
<v Speaker 1>single A, moved up the double A, played eight games up,

0:23:54.359 --> 0:23:58.440
<v Speaker 1>moved up to A high eggballs, moved up to double

0:23:58.480 --> 0:24:00.720
<v Speaker 1>A for eight games. The National said, f it guess

0:24:00.800 --> 0:24:03.320
<v Speaker 1>the majors Now they stay there all year. Obviously is

0:24:03.320 --> 0:24:05.800
<v Speaker 1>supposed to be a short term window. Didn't wind up happening.

0:24:05.800 --> 0:24:08.199
<v Speaker 1>He stayed all year. And if Pruss Harvard does leave

0:24:08.240 --> 0:24:10.600
<v Speaker 1>Washington and as many expect, this is going to become

0:24:10.600 --> 0:24:14.200
<v Speaker 1>the trade turner. Juan Soto show Victor Roblis as well.

0:24:14.560 --> 0:24:16.879
<v Speaker 1>This is what the core of this team is going

0:24:17.040 --> 0:24:20.359
<v Speaker 1>to be. They're going to count a lot from Juan Soto,

0:24:20.640 --> 0:24:24.080
<v Speaker 1>especially being twenty years old. Every sign in there says

0:24:24.119 --> 0:24:25.680
<v Speaker 1>this guy should be a phenomen Look at his hardia

0:24:25.680 --> 0:24:29.080
<v Speaker 1>percentage percent right around league average last year. It's not

0:24:29.119 --> 0:24:32.280
<v Speaker 1>great data, but he's he's a guy that he goes.

0:24:32.440 --> 0:24:34.879
<v Speaker 1>He goes to all fields. Greg he's a professional hitter.

0:24:34.960 --> 0:24:36.760
<v Speaker 1>A number that you're not that you don't want to see.

0:24:36.840 --> 0:24:40.440
<v Speaker 1>And again this is badded ball data. Groundball fifty seven

0:24:40.440 --> 0:24:41.919
<v Speaker 1>percent at the time, that's the number you don't like.

0:24:42.440 --> 0:24:47.720
<v Speaker 1>He has to improve on that. Numbers still home run

0:24:47.720 --> 0:24:52.040
<v Speaker 1>to five ball ratio is almost twenty five. Not great,

0:24:52.080 --> 0:24:55.360
<v Speaker 1>as Frank said, not great badded ball data. If you're

0:24:55.359 --> 0:24:59.320
<v Speaker 1>looking for reasons of potential sophomore slumping away, well maybe

0:24:59.359 --> 0:25:02.240
<v Speaker 1>that whole run the football ratio comes down or so,

0:25:03.240 --> 0:25:05.479
<v Speaker 1>maybe the groundball rate doesn't improve, maybe the hard hit

0:25:05.480 --> 0:25:10.439
<v Speaker 1>percentage doesn't improve. But the big thing walks seventy nine

0:25:10.480 --> 0:25:13.359
<v Speaker 1>walks in a hundred and sixteen games in four s.

0:25:14.040 --> 0:25:17.040
<v Speaker 1>That's something that will not change. He has unbelievab plate discipline.

0:25:17.119 --> 0:25:19.200
<v Speaker 1>Is gonna have them really played this point. It's that simple,

0:25:19.359 --> 0:25:21.000
<v Speaker 1>and that's something you really gotta like. And that will

0:25:21.080 --> 0:25:24.360
<v Speaker 1>help him from avoiding a major sophomore slump because he'll

0:25:24.359 --> 0:25:25.760
<v Speaker 1>still give you points in a point that he's still

0:25:25.800 --> 0:25:27.840
<v Speaker 1>gonna give a point walking and getting on base and

0:25:27.840 --> 0:25:31.080
<v Speaker 1>doing things like that scoring runs. I mean, he's just

0:25:31.119 --> 0:25:33.040
<v Speaker 1>a dining play Listen, when was the last time you

0:25:33.080 --> 0:25:34.840
<v Speaker 1>saw a nine year old player that didn't have a

0:25:34.840 --> 0:25:38.600
<v Speaker 1>great career? Was the especially Felix one that did this?

0:25:38.680 --> 0:25:41.359
<v Speaker 1>Man a nineteen year old who did this. He had

0:25:41.400 --> 0:25:45.240
<v Speaker 1>a historic nineteen year old season. And I'm looking at

0:25:45.240 --> 0:25:48.359
<v Speaker 1>the strikeout rate at twenty percent. Gregg and based on

0:25:48.440 --> 0:25:51.160
<v Speaker 1>his plate discipline. He had a seven point six percent

0:25:51.200 --> 0:25:54.720
<v Speaker 1>swinging strike create reminder, league average swinging strike rate is

0:25:55.200 --> 0:25:58.399
<v Speaker 1>you know, ten percent right around there, and league average

0:25:58.400 --> 0:26:01.199
<v Speaker 1>strikeout rate is around So one of these numbers is

0:26:01.200 --> 0:26:03.760
<v Speaker 1>out of His swinging strike rate was seven six but

0:26:03.840 --> 0:26:07.159
<v Speaker 1>his strikeout rate was at So that tells me that

0:26:07.160 --> 0:26:09.320
<v Speaker 1>that's coming down. Like this year, he's going to walk

0:26:09.359 --> 0:26:12.040
<v Speaker 1>more than he's going to strike out. He walked sixteen

0:26:12.040 --> 0:26:15.399
<v Speaker 1>percent of the time as a nineteen year old. This

0:26:15.640 --> 0:26:19.359
<v Speaker 1>chase rate was twenty two percent league averages like thirty

0:26:19.400 --> 0:26:22.080
<v Speaker 1>thirty one. He like doesn't swing at pitches outside the

0:26:22.119 --> 0:26:27.720
<v Speaker 1>strike zone. He has legitimate, awesome plate like hits recognition,

0:26:27.960 --> 0:26:30.840
<v Speaker 1>plate recognition, knowing like what pitches are going to be

0:26:30.920 --> 0:26:32.840
<v Speaker 1>on the plate as a nineteen year old. I mean,

0:26:33.119 --> 0:26:36.320
<v Speaker 1>look to two runs and only a hundred and sixteen

0:26:36.359 --> 0:26:39.480
<v Speaker 1>games a p s again as a nineteen year old.

0:26:39.520 --> 0:26:42.520
<v Speaker 1>A lot of you know, a lot of the Baseball

0:26:42.520 --> 0:26:45.520
<v Speaker 1>Podcast and Fantasy Baseball podcast I listened to talk about

0:26:45.560 --> 0:26:47.439
<v Speaker 1>this guy like he is the next coming of Albert

0:26:47.440 --> 0:26:50.720
<v Speaker 1>Pooh Holes in that ILK in terms of you know,

0:26:50.800 --> 0:26:52.520
<v Speaker 1>being able to square up pitches. And I know you

0:26:52.560 --> 0:26:56.240
<v Speaker 1>mentioned the home on the flyball ratio greg at every

0:26:56.280 --> 0:26:58.240
<v Speaker 1>level in the minor leagues, his home run the flyball

0:26:58.280 --> 0:27:01.080
<v Speaker 1>ratio was tent or higher. But what does that tell me?

0:27:01.680 --> 0:27:05.040
<v Speaker 1>When he's hitting flyballs, he's squaring them up like he's

0:27:05.160 --> 0:27:06.959
<v Speaker 1>he's getting the best of these fly balls. And when

0:27:07.000 --> 0:27:09.920
<v Speaker 1>he's hitting them, I will admit, the groundball rate, it's

0:27:09.960 --> 0:27:12.160
<v Speaker 1>kind of scary, I don't, you know, like I can't

0:27:12.160 --> 0:27:14.639
<v Speaker 1>defend it because you know, I come up here and

0:27:14.640 --> 0:27:16.359
<v Speaker 1>I tell tell people, I want to see, you know,

0:27:16.359 --> 0:27:18.160
<v Speaker 1>more flyballs. I want to see line drives. I want

0:27:18.160 --> 0:27:19.840
<v Speaker 1>to see a hard hit rate. The groundball right over,

0:27:20.880 --> 0:27:23.400
<v Speaker 1>I don't like that, But how many of those ground

0:27:23.400 --> 0:27:26.520
<v Speaker 1>balls are hard hit ground balls? And he goes to

0:27:26.600 --> 0:27:29.240
<v Speaker 1>all fields right like you know you were watching, you're

0:27:29.240 --> 0:27:31.159
<v Speaker 1>watching the games last year where where the Nationals came

0:27:31.200 --> 0:27:33.679
<v Speaker 1>in Kankee Stadium. He hits a home run down the

0:27:33.760 --> 0:27:35.919
<v Speaker 1>left field line. Then he hits a bomb to right

0:27:36.000 --> 0:27:39.080
<v Speaker 1>center field. He goes to all fields like he can,

0:27:39.160 --> 0:27:42.960
<v Speaker 1>you know, like he's a professional hitter and he's only

0:27:42.960 --> 0:27:45.399
<v Speaker 1>gonna be twenty years old heading into the season. And

0:27:45.400 --> 0:27:47.280
<v Speaker 1>he held his own against lefties, to which I love.

0:27:47.520 --> 0:27:49.960
<v Speaker 1>He's a left handed bat. He had to seventy nine,

0:27:49.960 --> 0:27:52.840
<v Speaker 1>with seven of his twenty two runs against left handed pitching.

0:27:52.880 --> 0:27:54.840
<v Speaker 1>He held his own like he did every single thing

0:27:54.840 --> 0:27:57.160
<v Speaker 1>and more than you could ask of a nineteen year

0:27:57.160 --> 0:28:00.720
<v Speaker 1>old nine year olds incredible bro his problem. He's gonna

0:28:00.720 --> 0:28:02.960
<v Speaker 1>walk a hundred and thirty times a year like in

0:28:03.000 --> 0:28:05.399
<v Speaker 1>his prime, He's going to do that, and he's walking

0:28:05.400 --> 0:28:07.680
<v Speaker 1>eighty times at nineteen years old. I mean, like he's

0:28:07.680 --> 0:28:10.479
<v Speaker 1>in the majors. How's he doing? Upside is he can hit?

0:28:10.560 --> 0:28:12.919
<v Speaker 1>He can hit like three twenty this year like he had.

0:28:13.040 --> 0:28:14.919
<v Speaker 1>Maybe that's what's upside. I have him a head of

0:28:14.920 --> 0:28:18.800
<v Speaker 1>Ben intended. I haven't. I'm serious, anew that was changing

0:28:18.840 --> 0:28:21.119
<v Speaker 1>because you look at one Soto and I was just

0:28:21.200 --> 0:28:24.199
<v Speaker 1>especially for points essentially as you were sitting in your

0:28:24.200 --> 0:28:26.160
<v Speaker 1>talk as you're sitting you're talking right like I'm just

0:28:26.200 --> 0:28:28.400
<v Speaker 1>sitting staring at like stats in batty Ball of Day.

0:28:28.400 --> 0:28:30.680
<v Speaker 1>That like the reason that I knew you would have

0:28:30.760 --> 0:28:33.040
<v Speaker 1>him ahead of ben Intendi, he's because you want to

0:28:33.040 --> 0:28:34.800
<v Speaker 1>talk a guy that that can break out, that can

0:28:34.920 --> 0:28:38.600
<v Speaker 1>hit the thirty home runs, that can early value became

0:28:38.640 --> 0:28:41.000
<v Speaker 1>the superstar. One solo is more of that guy than

0:28:41.040 --> 0:28:43.720
<v Speaker 1>Ben intended. Yeah, He's just he just is. So that

0:28:43.840 --> 0:28:45.600
<v Speaker 1>is why you would have ahead of Ben Tendie. And

0:28:45.600 --> 0:28:49.640
<v Speaker 1>I get it. I get that he's not gonna steal basis.

0:28:49.400 --> 0:28:52.400
<v Speaker 1>That's the only thing we'll talk a lot about, stolen basis.

0:28:52.480 --> 0:28:54.640
<v Speaker 1>But he could be that next coming of a four

0:28:54.720 --> 0:28:57.440
<v Speaker 1>category contributor when we talk about guys like you know,

0:28:57.520 --> 0:29:00.240
<v Speaker 1>j D. Martinez and Nolan Narratano not to the same level.

0:29:00.280 --> 0:29:02.280
<v Speaker 1>He's not gonna be said the same level, but he

0:29:02.280 --> 0:29:05.560
<v Speaker 1>could be a player who, look, he had to last

0:29:05.640 --> 0:29:07.800
<v Speaker 1>year in his first season. You're telling me that that

0:29:07.800 --> 0:29:09.720
<v Speaker 1>batting average, based on what he did in the minor leagues,

0:29:09.800 --> 0:29:12.280
<v Speaker 1>can't jump over three hundred this year, and he had

0:29:12.320 --> 0:29:14.280
<v Speaker 1>twenty two runs in a hundred and sixteen games. If

0:29:14.320 --> 0:29:16.480
<v Speaker 1>he plays a hundred and fifty games, he's not going

0:29:16.520 --> 0:29:18.720
<v Speaker 1>to approach thirty home runs. And then in the middle

0:29:18.720 --> 0:29:23.200
<v Speaker 1>of that lineup with Trey Turner and Anthony Random and

0:29:23.360 --> 0:29:27.160
<v Speaker 1>Victor Robots that he can't you know, drive in close

0:29:27.200 --> 0:29:29.800
<v Speaker 1>to a hundred and score close to a hundred runs.

0:29:30.120 --> 0:29:33.040
<v Speaker 1>He could be a legit four category contributor. He stole

0:29:33.080 --> 0:29:34.880
<v Speaker 1>five bases in a hundred and sixteen games. You know,

0:29:34.880 --> 0:29:38.480
<v Speaker 1>maybe he'll chip in seven eight stolen bases. He's not

0:29:38.520 --> 0:29:43.880
<v Speaker 1>gonna be a complete zero but four category contributor here.

0:29:44.040 --> 0:29:45.960
<v Speaker 1>He does everything else. Who cares about the stolen basis?

0:29:45.960 --> 0:29:47.320
<v Speaker 1>You know what I'm saying? Like, dude, this guy had

0:29:47.320 --> 0:29:50.280
<v Speaker 1>three sixty two in the miners, right, you asked me

0:29:50.400 --> 0:29:53.480
<v Speaker 1>during the break, what do you worry about with a

0:29:53.680 --> 0:29:57.280
<v Speaker 1>with a sophomore slump. He's a different breed man, He's

0:29:57.280 --> 0:30:00.080
<v Speaker 1>a different breed. That's you know, That's all I could say.

0:30:01.040 --> 0:30:04.040
<v Speaker 1>His plate discipline, the fact that he go to all fields,

0:30:04.560 --> 0:30:07.920
<v Speaker 1>doesn't strike out much. He's gonna walk. Um, you know,

0:30:07.920 --> 0:30:10.120
<v Speaker 1>when he hits fly balls, he squares them up. Those

0:30:10.120 --> 0:30:13.280
<v Speaker 1>are gonna turn it to home runs. What's I mean? Yeah,

0:30:13.320 --> 0:30:15.400
<v Speaker 1>you're either find me a knock on the guy outside

0:30:15.400 --> 0:30:18.160
<v Speaker 1>of the ground ball rate or the stone basis, right,

0:30:18.200 --> 0:30:22.720
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, honestly, so for me looking at it listening,

0:30:23.160 --> 0:30:27.160
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna take him ahead of everybody but Blackman probably

0:30:28.360 --> 0:30:30.040
<v Speaker 1>they have ahead of Marte. I'm gonna take him ahead

0:30:30.040 --> 0:30:33.240
<v Speaker 1>of attend But I'll take ben Intendi and ahead of

0:30:33.280 --> 0:30:36.720
<v Speaker 1>starring Marte. That's what I'll do. Listen, You're either gonna

0:30:36.760 --> 0:30:39.760
<v Speaker 1>buy want Soto because his price is very hot. You're

0:30:39.760 --> 0:30:42.080
<v Speaker 1>either buying him or you're not. And if you're buying him,

0:30:42.120 --> 0:30:44.040
<v Speaker 1>you're paying for him. You're gonna pay for him because

0:30:44.040 --> 0:30:47.360
<v Speaker 1>he's going high. He's going very high, and he should be.

0:30:48.360 --> 0:30:51.240
<v Speaker 1>There's one outfielder he talks about the second show, but

0:30:51.480 --> 0:30:56.600
<v Speaker 1>there's one outfielder that's in between. According the n FFEC,

0:30:56.720 --> 0:30:59.840
<v Speaker 1>ben INTENDI wants to who's outfield eligible. That's with Meryfield.

0:31:00.520 --> 0:31:02.880
<v Speaker 1>You would probably, I think, play him at second base

0:31:02.960 --> 0:31:05.800
<v Speaker 1>more often than not. Um, he goes off the board,

0:31:05.880 --> 0:31:09.080
<v Speaker 1>not not necessarily the five outfielders. You're right, five outfielders

0:31:09.440 --> 0:31:12.680
<v Speaker 1>and he's off the board. I would take him after

0:31:12.760 --> 0:31:15.120
<v Speaker 1>all of these guys that we mentioned personally, I know

0:31:15.200 --> 0:31:17.800
<v Speaker 1>he's a forty steel guy. I would take him after

0:31:18.480 --> 0:31:22.080
<v Speaker 1>every having behind k Ris Davis and Rees Hoskins as well.

0:31:23.640 --> 0:31:26.560
<v Speaker 1>I don't this, I haven't gotten there yet, but just

0:31:26.880 --> 0:31:30.600
<v Speaker 1>where I have, he's not having. He's not he's not

0:31:30.640 --> 0:31:33.080
<v Speaker 1>in the with these guys to me. No, I mean,

0:31:33.160 --> 0:31:35.960
<v Speaker 1>look in some NFBC drafts, he's gone in late second,

0:31:35.960 --> 0:31:38.200
<v Speaker 1>early third round because people freak out about stolen basis.

0:31:38.680 --> 0:31:41.280
<v Speaker 1>So he could give you forty post stolen basis. That's

0:31:41.280 --> 0:31:44.160
<v Speaker 1>when people see and without completely killing you in home runs,

0:31:44.160 --> 0:31:46.000
<v Speaker 1>like you know, he'll probably give you fifteen runs. That's

0:31:46.000 --> 0:31:47.400
<v Speaker 1>what people see. And then you know then when you

0:31:47.400 --> 0:31:49.440
<v Speaker 1>take him an are you guys talking about like on

0:31:49.440 --> 0:31:51.480
<v Speaker 1>a Roto level right now or a points league level?

0:31:52.080 --> 0:31:55.080
<v Speaker 1>But are you thinking mary Field is better in roo?

0:31:55.520 --> 0:31:59.240
<v Speaker 1>He's very good, important, he makes a lot of contact.

0:31:59.480 --> 0:32:01.600
<v Speaker 1>He doesn't walk all of that much. He you know,

0:32:01.640 --> 0:32:04.280
<v Speaker 1>he's like a what's seven percent walk RZ something I had?

0:32:04.320 --> 0:32:06.760
<v Speaker 1>He had sixty one walks. I mean that's not bad.

0:32:07.040 --> 0:32:11.080
<v Speaker 1>That ain't bad. He had forty stole bases right average

0:32:11.120 --> 0:32:16.200
<v Speaker 1>was very good at three or four I meant three doubles.

0:32:16.360 --> 0:32:19.520
<v Speaker 1>He's fine. He's he's good. But you know, look the

0:32:19.520 --> 0:32:22.480
<v Speaker 1>storm bases at least, you know, not in my points league.

0:32:22.480 --> 0:32:24.560
<v Speaker 1>They don't mean much. You know, my home league is

0:32:24.640 --> 0:32:27.960
<v Speaker 1>get two points, so they don't really mean much. He's

0:32:28.000 --> 0:32:31.880
<v Speaker 1>more valuable in Rhoto. I think, yeah, I guess so, okay.

0:32:33.040 --> 0:32:36.520
<v Speaker 1>Chris Bryant we talked about on yesterday show m he's

0:32:36.520 --> 0:32:38.320
<v Speaker 1>in this mixed two. Well, we talked a lot about

0:32:38.360 --> 0:32:39.720
<v Speaker 1>Chris Bryan all of us. And then you and I

0:32:39.800 --> 0:32:41.440
<v Speaker 1>both like Chris Bryan little bit more than Frank does.

0:32:43.200 --> 0:32:46.280
<v Speaker 1>And then we get to Reese Hoskins who we mentioned,

0:32:46.320 --> 0:32:48.520
<v Speaker 1>Cody Belder we had. We really compared them a lot

0:32:48.560 --> 0:32:50.400
<v Speaker 1>in our First Base show. In our First Base Show,

0:32:50.760 --> 0:32:52.640
<v Speaker 1>you probably played them in the outfielder, especially in in

0:32:52.760 --> 0:32:55.960
<v Speaker 1>five outfield leagues. Um, you want some power. A little

0:32:55.960 --> 0:33:00.280
<v Speaker 1>bit later, you you took some Chris Davis. It's Chris Davis.

0:33:00.400 --> 0:33:02.560
<v Speaker 1>In just a second, I think, miss Christie, where hell

0:33:02.600 --> 0:33:04.520
<v Speaker 1>is Chris Davis? You should be around this tire. He

0:33:04.960 --> 0:33:08.840
<v Speaker 1>is utility only on some sites. Only on some sites.

0:33:08.960 --> 0:33:11.760
<v Speaker 1>That's why do you actually be on on a lot

0:33:11.760 --> 0:33:17.000
<v Speaker 1>of sites? Mean, he'll be I'm going to check to

0:33:17.000 --> 0:33:19.000
<v Speaker 1>confirm that right now by though, I'll check ESPN. But

0:33:19.160 --> 0:33:23.880
<v Speaker 1>he is in the NFBC. He's only utility. He's only

0:33:23.920 --> 0:33:25.400
<v Speaker 1>utility only. What is what do you do with that?

0:33:25.560 --> 0:33:27.480
<v Speaker 1>He only played, Uh, he only played eleven games in

0:33:27.480 --> 0:33:29.640
<v Speaker 1>the after last year. So if you play in the

0:33:29.720 --> 0:33:31.920
<v Speaker 1>league where the previous year you only need ten games

0:33:31.960 --> 0:33:35.240
<v Speaker 1>played to be outfield eligible, Chris Davis will have that eligibility.

0:33:35.360 --> 0:33:37.400
<v Speaker 1>He does. He does have it in YAHOO. If you need,

0:33:39.320 --> 0:33:41.560
<v Speaker 1>you need twenty games like he doesn't have it in

0:33:41.600 --> 0:33:44.120
<v Speaker 1>CBS either. I like that we all kind of play

0:33:44.160 --> 0:33:46.720
<v Speaker 1>on different sites, so we kind of truly yeahoo, I

0:33:46.720 --> 0:33:51.120
<v Speaker 1>play mostly CBS, Eventum plays mostly ESPN. UM. Yeah, you

0:33:51.160 --> 0:33:52.880
<v Speaker 1>only played eleven games in the after last year, so

0:33:52.880 --> 0:33:55.040
<v Speaker 1>if you need twenty, he's not gonna have Alphiel. Chris

0:33:55.080 --> 0:33:56.560
<v Speaker 1>Davis let the league and home runs last year, but

0:33:56.960 --> 0:34:03.040
<v Speaker 1>forty seven for the fourth consecutive year. UM comers strikes out,

0:34:03.560 --> 0:34:07.200
<v Speaker 1>you know, a lot, hundred and seventy five strikeouts last year.

0:34:07.560 --> 0:34:10.200
<v Speaker 1>OVP was about three six. I think with Chris Davis,

0:34:10.520 --> 0:34:12.560
<v Speaker 1>who probably belongs in the mix, I would say, guys

0:34:12.560 --> 0:34:15.120
<v Speaker 1>with the Reese Hoskins and Cody Bellinger's that's like that

0:34:15.120 --> 0:34:18.360
<v Speaker 1>that cruise a crew to me. Um, But he's a

0:34:18.440 --> 0:34:20.040
<v Speaker 1>D eight if he is, if he's out, if he's

0:34:20.040 --> 0:34:22.440
<v Speaker 1>outfield eligible, I'm saying he's actually a steel if he's

0:34:22.440 --> 0:34:24.960
<v Speaker 1>a D H because people sometimes don't realize that he's

0:34:24.960 --> 0:34:28.719
<v Speaker 1>around just because he's a utility guy. Potentially, so, but

0:34:28.880 --> 0:34:31.280
<v Speaker 1>how do you have the ality only would you take

0:34:31.400 --> 0:34:34.960
<v Speaker 1>would you take him over Reese Hoskins, He wasn't utility

0:34:35.160 --> 0:34:37.160
<v Speaker 1>if he was if he you know, being if he's

0:34:37.160 --> 0:34:39.440
<v Speaker 1>only utility, only are you taking him over Reese Hoskins?

0:34:39.440 --> 0:34:42.279
<v Speaker 1>Probably he was gonna have first base and outfield eligibility. Yeah,

0:34:42.320 --> 0:34:47.080
<v Speaker 1>I probably wouldn't. I don't think they can't either, all right,

0:34:47.080 --> 0:34:48.080
<v Speaker 1>So what do you do with a guy like that.

0:34:48.239 --> 0:34:51.520
<v Speaker 1>You can't. You can't move him. He's just taking up

0:34:51.520 --> 0:34:53.439
<v Speaker 1>your entire of utilities. But when it comes to Rotor,

0:34:54.000 --> 0:34:57.680
<v Speaker 1>you're you're drafting stats, you're drafting numbers. You know, when

0:34:57.760 --> 0:34:59.680
<v Speaker 1>when it comes to the end of the third or

0:35:00.000 --> 0:35:01.759
<v Speaker 1>early fourth round, you're looking for a guy who's gonna

0:35:01.800 --> 0:35:04.120
<v Speaker 1>be forty plus home runs, a hundred RBIs doesn't matter

0:35:04.120 --> 0:35:06.200
<v Speaker 1>where it comes from. It doesn't matter where it's where

0:35:06.200 --> 0:35:09.240
<v Speaker 1>it comes from. Get you. You need to get your stats.

0:35:09.800 --> 0:35:11.320
<v Speaker 1>That's what it comes down to. And that's why he

0:35:11.360 --> 0:35:13.280
<v Speaker 1>goes in the fourth round still even as a util

0:35:13.560 --> 0:35:16.279
<v Speaker 1>you till only player, because he's gonna give you forty

0:35:16.280 --> 0:35:18.920
<v Speaker 1>plus home runs. He's gonna and there's there'ser's value in that.

0:35:19.040 --> 0:35:22.080
<v Speaker 1>You know, Yes, the two forty seven batting average, that's

0:35:22.200 --> 0:35:24.719
<v Speaker 1>that's actually close to league average. League average batting average

0:35:25.000 --> 0:35:29.239
<v Speaker 1>is right around to fifty. It's very it's very said.

0:35:29.400 --> 0:35:32.719
<v Speaker 1>You know, look, Chris Davis, especially the tear that he

0:35:32.719 --> 0:35:34.759
<v Speaker 1>went on the second half. You know, maybe he has

0:35:34.800 --> 0:35:37.520
<v Speaker 1>the upside to hit fifty home runs. He could, but

0:35:37.600 --> 0:35:40.200
<v Speaker 1>you know your own you know they're safety in him

0:35:40.239 --> 0:35:44.239
<v Speaker 1>because he's been doing it. You know you're getting you

0:35:44.239 --> 0:35:46.080
<v Speaker 1>know you're gonna get forty five on runs. How many

0:35:46.080 --> 0:35:48.399
<v Speaker 1>players can you say that about right now? Only help

0:35:48.440 --> 0:35:54.160
<v Speaker 1>them on your hand? Aaron Judge, Chris Davis would a kay,

0:35:55.440 --> 0:35:58.000
<v Speaker 1>that's it. Bryce Hawk, No, you can't say that about

0:35:58.040 --> 0:36:02.280
<v Speaker 1>Brice ha Hatie Martinez. Maybe Bellinger do it. You can,

0:36:02.360 --> 0:36:06.319
<v Speaker 1>you can, but you could throw Joey Gallo in there.

0:36:06.360 --> 0:36:09.160
<v Speaker 1>But I don't know. Guys Joey gallows Fair could he

0:36:09.280 --> 0:36:11.759
<v Speaker 1>hit forty two years arow? This guy's better because he

0:36:11.840 --> 0:36:16.600
<v Speaker 1>hit more than forty three years last year. You need Look,

0:36:16.960 --> 0:36:19.520
<v Speaker 1>everyone says, oh, it's easy to find home runs because

0:36:19.800 --> 0:36:23.359
<v Speaker 1>you can find them throughout the draft. You need more

0:36:23.400 --> 0:36:26.239
<v Speaker 1>home runs to compete now in the roto categories than

0:36:26.280 --> 0:36:28.680
<v Speaker 1>ever before. So it's not just like, oh, you know,

0:36:28.719 --> 0:36:30.640
<v Speaker 1>I'll find home runs later on the draft, Like you know,

0:36:30.800 --> 0:36:33.200
<v Speaker 1>you need home runs to compete in that category. Forty

0:36:33.560 --> 0:36:36.080
<v Speaker 1>undred and twenty three r BIS and you know we're

0:36:36.080 --> 0:36:38.120
<v Speaker 1>sitting here every day we're talking to Matt Olson and

0:36:38.120 --> 0:36:41.919
<v Speaker 1>Matt Chapman. We like the AI's lineup that has power. Here. Man,

0:36:42.080 --> 0:36:46.160
<v Speaker 1>it's crazy. He's gonna drive and runs again. He had

0:36:46.160 --> 0:36:48.480
<v Speaker 1>a ridiculous second half. But how about last year he

0:36:48.640 --> 0:36:54.920
<v Speaker 1>upped his fly ball rate, hard hit rate forty guys ridiculous.

0:36:55.560 --> 0:36:59.799
<v Speaker 1>Strike ats actually went down last year. Yeah, strikes went down.

0:37:00.040 --> 0:37:03.040
<v Speaker 1>Is the batting average would never it will never be.

0:37:04.040 --> 0:37:05.880
<v Speaker 1>He leads bad if his bat was actually low, but

0:37:05.920 --> 0:37:08.640
<v Speaker 1>he hit more home runs. That's why when we came back,

<v Speaker 1>of their sirens because New Yorkers are tired of the

0:39:05.280 --> 0:39:09.520
<v Speaker 1>incessant sirens? Is this like the millennial generation that we

0:39:46.000 --> 0:39:48.160
<v Speaker 1>It's crazy. He's gotta figure out where he wants if

0:39:48.160 --> 0:39:56.920
<v Speaker 1>you week everywhere? Yeah, wrestling with some stuff right here.

0:39:57.680 --> 0:39:58.960

0:39:58.960 --> 0:40:03.880
<v Speaker 1>Too great to it during the day we're working. Yeah, well,

0:40:03.880 --> 0:40:09.280
<v Speaker 1>you know, so, first of all, picking it take eight sucks.

0:40:10.440 --> 0:40:13.080
<v Speaker 1>I know you can kind of like it, but you

0:40:13.200 --> 0:40:16.440
<v Speaker 1>have to wait so long on both ends, and you

0:40:16.480 --> 0:40:20.440
<v Speaker 1>can miss runs either way. Because you're pick eight. You

0:40:20.520 --> 0:40:23.799
<v Speaker 1>have fifteen picks before it comes back to you one way.

0:40:24.040 --> 0:40:25.800
<v Speaker 1>You have fifteen picks before it comes back to you

0:40:25.840 --> 0:40:29.880
<v Speaker 1>another way, So you can miss out on runs either way.

0:40:31.160 --> 0:40:32.880
<v Speaker 1>And it's like you gotta wait so long for it

0:40:33.000 --> 0:40:34.640
<v Speaker 1>to come back to you. Now. Look, I know it's

0:40:34.680 --> 0:40:36.520
<v Speaker 1>harder for You know people who wait at the you

0:40:36.560 --> 0:40:38.120
<v Speaker 1>know there at the end, they gotta wait even longer

0:40:38.160 --> 0:40:39.759
<v Speaker 1>for it to come back to them. But you know

0:40:39.760 --> 0:40:42.919
<v Speaker 1>they can make two picks in a close proximity. Pick eight.

0:40:42.960 --> 0:40:44.560
<v Speaker 1>I mean you want to rip your hair out. You

0:40:44.640 --> 0:40:47.720
<v Speaker 1>got to try and figure out, like, no, which which

0:40:47.800 --> 0:40:50.879
<v Speaker 1>positional run is gonna start this way? Which positional runs

0:40:50.880 --> 0:40:53.719
<v Speaker 1>gonna start this way? Trying to figure this out, like

0:40:53.760 --> 0:40:56.280
<v Speaker 1>I'm trying to plan my draft the next three rounds

0:40:56.280 --> 0:41:02.799
<v Speaker 1>in advance. That's good luck, Yeah, socks man. Yeah, I mean,

0:41:02.920 --> 0:41:07.200
<v Speaker 1>no one's forced me to play. I'm coming. I'm complaining

0:41:07.200 --> 0:41:09.160
<v Speaker 1>about it. That was supposed to be stressful, right, it's

0:41:09.120 --> 0:41:11.239
<v Speaker 1>supposed to be fun. Yeah, I'm stressed out over here.

0:41:12.040 --> 0:41:14.279
<v Speaker 1>Well that is a big, big league, though, you know

0:41:14.360 --> 0:41:15.960
<v Speaker 1>you want to do well in that week that league.

0:41:16.000 --> 0:41:20.319
<v Speaker 1>I'm trying here, Greg, you know, don't have some fun, Frank,

0:41:20.560 --> 0:41:25.960
<v Speaker 1>Let's have some up next. Frank's guy this offseason. I

0:41:26.000 --> 0:41:28.160
<v Speaker 1>mean to me, if there's one guy that I associate

0:41:28.239 --> 0:41:33.040
<v Speaker 1>with you going into this year, Tommy Fam, this is

0:41:33.160 --> 0:41:37.320
<v Speaker 1>this is your guy, Tommy Fam. He isn't a tier

0:41:37.400 --> 0:41:41.799
<v Speaker 1>According to the NFBC going up the board about pick

0:41:41.840 --> 0:41:47.760
<v Speaker 1>sixty along with George Springer, Lorenzo Caine. I'll throw y'all

0:41:47.840 --> 0:41:51.799
<v Speaker 1>puig in here, David Donald, Marcelosina. It's a big tier.

0:41:51.840 --> 0:41:52.919
<v Speaker 1>But like that's kind of the tear. We're not gonna

0:41:52.920 --> 0:41:54.319
<v Speaker 1>get all to them today. We won't have time. I

0:41:54.360 --> 0:41:59.440
<v Speaker 1>realized that. But Frank, this is your opportunity. Why are

0:41:59.440 --> 0:42:02.080
<v Speaker 1>you so in love the Tommy fan this year? I mean,

0:42:02.120 --> 0:42:05.440
<v Speaker 1>come on, guys, what's not to love about Tommy fam

0:42:06.400 --> 0:42:09.040
<v Speaker 1>We've been talking a lot about stolen bases and stuff,

0:42:09.120 --> 0:42:10.799
<v Speaker 1>and this is a guy who, all right, last year

0:42:10.840 --> 0:42:13.160
<v Speaker 1>he only stole fifteen basses, but the year before that

0:42:13.200 --> 0:42:16.520
<v Speaker 1>he stole twenty five. And I think, I think, I

0:42:16.520 --> 0:42:18.719
<v Speaker 1>think he's gonna have the green light right when when

0:42:18.719 --> 0:42:21.600
<v Speaker 1>he went over to the Tampa Bay Rays last year,

0:42:21.640 --> 0:42:23.840
<v Speaker 1>in thirty nine games, which is about a quarter of

0:42:24.080 --> 0:42:28.400
<v Speaker 1>an MLB season, he stole five bases. So I think

0:42:28.520 --> 0:42:31.080
<v Speaker 1>he can come close to stealing twenty bases. You know,

0:42:31.200 --> 0:42:33.799
<v Speaker 1>he's hit twenty one and twenty three home runs over

0:42:33.840 --> 0:42:37.200
<v Speaker 1>the past two years. He's another guy where he hits

0:42:37.200 --> 0:42:40.360
<v Speaker 1>a lot of groundballs groundball rate for his career, but

0:42:40.560 --> 0:42:43.040
<v Speaker 1>hits a lot of line drives, hits the ball extremely hard.

0:42:43.480 --> 0:42:46.800
<v Speaker 1>I'm talking extremely hard. Forty eight and a half percent

0:42:46.880 --> 0:42:48.960
<v Speaker 1>hard hit rate for the season. Last year in the

0:42:49.000 --> 0:42:51.080
<v Speaker 1>sample with the Tampa Bay Rays that went up to

0:42:51.120 --> 0:42:54.000
<v Speaker 1>fifty one percent. So he hits the ball extremely hard.

0:42:54.120 --> 0:42:56.400
<v Speaker 1>He's able to maintain a whole high home run the

0:42:56.400 --> 0:42:58.680
<v Speaker 1>fly ball ratio even though he only hits around thirty

0:42:58.719 --> 0:43:01.160
<v Speaker 1>percent fly balls. He maintains that because he hits the

0:43:01.200 --> 0:43:03.160
<v Speaker 1>ball so hard. When he makes contact on his fly balls,

0:43:03.520 --> 0:43:05.239
<v Speaker 1>you know, one out of every five of those are

0:43:05.239 --> 0:43:09.200
<v Speaker 1>flying over the wall. I think he could be a guy,

0:43:09.360 --> 0:43:12.160
<v Speaker 1>maybe even more than that. Basic He scored a hundred

0:43:12.239 --> 0:43:14.879
<v Speaker 1>runs last year too, and that was only Dred seven games.

0:43:14.880 --> 0:43:17.560
<v Speaker 1>You know, only seven games. I know, you kind of

0:43:17.560 --> 0:43:20.279
<v Speaker 1>gotta bake that into him because look, he has he's

0:43:20.320 --> 0:43:22.040
<v Speaker 1>never played more than a hundred and thirty seven games

0:43:22.040 --> 0:43:24.919
<v Speaker 1>and he's only played two full seasons. To Yeah, he's

0:43:25.000 --> 0:43:27.719
<v Speaker 1>he's he's kind of an interesting dude, right Like last

0:43:27.800 --> 0:43:30.360
<v Speaker 1>year with the Sports Illustrated stuff, the article before the

0:43:30.440 --> 0:43:33.400
<v Speaker 1>year where he basically said, like, mind, I'm better than

0:43:33.440 --> 0:43:35.960
<v Speaker 1>the Cardinals players. Why the why the f are these

0:43:35.960 --> 0:43:39.080
<v Speaker 1>guys playing over me? You know exactly, he was like

0:43:39.160 --> 0:43:41.040
<v Speaker 1>cursing during the interview and stuff. You know, he was

0:43:41.200 --> 0:43:43.759
<v Speaker 1>very honest. You know, he wasn't shy about that. I

0:43:43.760 --> 0:43:50.720
<v Speaker 1>remember Nando said he loved that about him. He loved

0:43:50.800 --> 0:43:55.360
<v Speaker 1>I'm sorry, sorry not if you're watching, but look, that

0:43:55.440 --> 0:44:00.560
<v Speaker 1>was something he hates. You Well, Look he went he

0:44:01.960 --> 0:44:05.280
<v Speaker 1>near with a hundred runs scored to seventy five batting

0:44:05.280 --> 0:44:07.120
<v Speaker 1>average last year. I think he's he's better than a

0:44:07.160 --> 0:44:10.920
<v Speaker 1>two seventy five batting average UM. Looking at his UH

0:44:11.280 --> 0:44:13.960
<v Speaker 1>is expected batting average from last year, it was two

0:44:13.960 --> 0:44:18.600
<v Speaker 1>eighties seven expected batting averages three or six year before.

0:44:18.719 --> 0:44:21.040
<v Speaker 1>So you know, I think I think it'd be a

0:44:21.080 --> 0:44:24.880
<v Speaker 1>two to ninety guy, a hundred runs scored. He's got

0:44:25.000 --> 0:44:26.560
<v Speaker 1>to stay healthy. I mean, I think I plays a

0:44:26.600 --> 0:44:30.200
<v Speaker 1>hundred fifty games. He could be with a hundred run

0:44:30.280 --> 0:44:35.279
<v Speaker 1>scored with a good batting average. He could be And

0:44:35.280 --> 0:44:40.600
<v Speaker 1>you're getting to three rounds later he walked along. I

0:44:41.840 --> 0:44:45.160
<v Speaker 1>like the guy. I don't see anything really bad about him.

0:44:45.200 --> 0:44:47.239
<v Speaker 1>Besides that, I don't like the fact that you don't

0:44:47.280 --> 0:44:49.959
<v Speaker 1>really hit a ton of doubles. Just said Talmers, really,

0:44:50.000 --> 0:44:52.319
<v Speaker 1>but who would you rather have? Tem discipline is great

0:44:52.360 --> 0:44:56.879
<v Speaker 1>to George Sprayer, I rather have George Spring up, okay,

0:44:56.920 --> 0:45:00.799
<v Speaker 1>hell come of the lineup, uh up, just a little

0:45:00.800 --> 0:45:03.640
<v Speaker 1>bit more of a pedigree on the Springer's belt, and

0:45:03.680 --> 0:45:09.040
<v Speaker 1>I think Spring is a guy that could hit Springer

0:45:09.080 --> 0:45:12.920
<v Speaker 1>two years younger. Essentially, he's thirty one years old. Tommy

0:45:12.920 --> 0:45:15.359
<v Speaker 1>FAM's late bloomer. Like I said, he kind of had

0:45:15.360 --> 0:45:18.120
<v Speaker 1>a weird career. Definitely, Well, a lot of guys come

0:45:18.160 --> 0:45:20.759
<v Speaker 1>in late. It's okay, it's not wrong with that. But

0:45:20.800 --> 0:45:24.360
<v Speaker 1>George Springer, he hasn't really lived up to our expectations

0:45:25.120 --> 0:45:27.960
<v Speaker 1>we've wanted him to be. He doesn't steal bases, Like

0:45:27.960 --> 0:45:30.280
<v Speaker 1>look at his stolen basis and his stealing the past

0:45:30.320 --> 0:45:33.760
<v Speaker 1>three years, six and four. Last season he went five

0:45:33.800 --> 0:45:36.920
<v Speaker 1>for twelve, so five stolen basis, seven calls stealing in

0:45:37.239 --> 0:45:41.560
<v Speaker 1>seventeen nine stolen bases, ten at stealing. So he's not

0:45:41.600 --> 0:45:43.879
<v Speaker 1>a bas He's not gonna give you stolen bases. He's

0:45:43.960 --> 0:45:46.160
<v Speaker 1>kind of an accumulator. Like he played a hundred and

0:45:46.160 --> 0:45:49.080
<v Speaker 1>sixty two games in twenty sixteen. He needed all one

0:45:49.200 --> 0:45:51.279
<v Speaker 1>sixty two to hit twenty nine home runs in a

0:45:51.320 --> 0:45:55.560
<v Speaker 1>hundred and sixteen runs scored. He's he's an accumulator. I

0:45:55.920 --> 0:45:57.839
<v Speaker 1>just I don't feel like rung with that. It's five.

0:45:58.760 --> 0:46:00.359
<v Speaker 1>He needs to stay healthy, like the past two years

0:46:00.360 --> 0:46:02.280
<v Speaker 1>he's missed at least twenty games a year. He plays

0:46:02.280 --> 0:46:08.080
<v Speaker 1>a hundred forty forty games back to back years. Was

0:46:08.120 --> 0:46:10.520
<v Speaker 1>down to twenty two last year. Absolutely hard hit rates

0:46:10.520 --> 0:46:13.680
<v Speaker 1>not great. It went down last year. It seems like

0:46:13.719 --> 0:46:16.040
<v Speaker 1>he's always kind of battling some kind of nagging injury

0:46:16.239 --> 0:46:21.719
<v Speaker 1>or mechanical problems. What's your projection for George Springer to

0:46:22.000 --> 0:46:29.040
<v Speaker 1>sixty five maybe to seventy twenty seven eight homers going

0:46:29.120 --> 0:46:30.400
<v Speaker 1>to score a lot of runs. He's gonna give a

0:46:30.480 --> 0:46:33.360
<v Speaker 1>hundred hundred ten runs maybe d r A d r B.

0:46:33.480 --> 0:46:43.040
<v Speaker 1>I no stolen basis five not five, okay five Tommy

0:46:43.120 --> 0:46:48.520
<v Speaker 1>to eighty so better batting average, he'll give you home runs,

0:46:48.560 --> 0:46:52.120
<v Speaker 1>so less less less for sure, I think he's gonna

0:46:52.120 --> 0:46:55.640
<v Speaker 1>be a hundred runs. So I trust more, trust Springer

0:46:55.680 --> 0:46:57.960
<v Speaker 1>more for I trust Springer more for runs. But I

0:46:58.000 --> 0:47:01.000
<v Speaker 1>don't think it's that big of a difference. Agree, I

0:47:01.080 --> 0:47:04.040
<v Speaker 1>just bring it more for RBI. Not that big of

0:47:04.080 --> 0:47:07.040
<v Speaker 1>a difference. And then maybe you know, fifteen and twenty

0:47:07.040 --> 0:47:09.520
<v Speaker 1>more sole basis from Tommy fam and a better batting average,

0:47:10.760 --> 0:47:13.279
<v Speaker 1>So better batting average and better soleing basis two very

0:47:13.320 --> 0:47:16.760
<v Speaker 1>hard categories to come by in Rhodo over George Springer.

0:47:17.040 --> 0:47:19.920
<v Speaker 1>And then George Springer gives you slightly more pop, slightly

0:47:19.960 --> 0:47:22.160
<v Speaker 1>more runs, and he gives you more RBI and more doubles.

0:47:22.160 --> 0:47:23.800
<v Speaker 1>To me, I want, you know, I want the batting

0:47:23.840 --> 0:47:26.719
<v Speaker 1>average and stolen basis. So I have Tommy Fan Yeah,

0:47:26.920 --> 0:47:30.440
<v Speaker 1>I mean it's close in points leagues. I like Springing

0:47:30.440 --> 0:47:35.280
<v Speaker 1>a lot though, just because volume, like great lineup. He's gonna,

0:47:36.280 --> 0:47:38.399
<v Speaker 1>you know, like he he walks ten percent of the time.

0:47:38.440 --> 0:47:41.759
<v Speaker 1>They both walk a lot. Similar. George Bringer strikes out

0:47:41.800 --> 0:47:43.759
<v Speaker 1>a little bit less, you know, George Springer kind of

0:47:43.800 --> 0:47:46.239
<v Speaker 1>like Chris Bryant significantly less kind of you know, George

0:47:46.280 --> 0:47:49.280
<v Speaker 1>Springer kind of like Chris Bryant and his MLB career. He's, uh,

0:47:49.520 --> 0:47:52.440
<v Speaker 1>he's he's up, the batting average lowered, he's lowered the

0:47:52.440 --> 0:47:54.799
<v Speaker 1>strikeouts a little bit more. But in terms of that,

0:47:54.840 --> 0:47:56.600
<v Speaker 1>like Chris Bryant the past couple of years, he's been

0:47:57.440 --> 0:48:00.520
<v Speaker 1>made a more conscious ever to make contacts instead of,

0:48:00.560 --> 0:48:02.680
<v Speaker 1>you know, just swinging for the fence and striking out more.

0:48:03.360 --> 0:48:06.040
<v Speaker 1>So I think I think George Springer tried to do

0:48:06.040 --> 0:48:07.680
<v Speaker 1>that the second half last year also, right, So his

0:48:07.719 --> 0:48:10.400
<v Speaker 1>batting average went up fifty points the first half of

0:48:10.400 --> 0:48:12.279
<v Speaker 1>second half to four nine the first half, three or

0:48:12.280 --> 0:48:13.840
<v Speaker 1>one in the second half. Right, But I think he

0:48:13.840 --> 0:48:16.520
<v Speaker 1>made a more conscious effort to make contact. As you said, Frank,

0:48:16.760 --> 0:48:19.279
<v Speaker 1>fifteen home runs in the first half, just seven in

0:48:19.520 --> 0:48:22.160
<v Speaker 1>the second half. It was clear that he just simply

0:48:22.239 --> 0:48:23.480
<v Speaker 1>changed his approach. If you want to look at the

0:48:23.520 --> 0:48:28.920
<v Speaker 1>batted ball data um in the second half, he his

0:48:29.040 --> 0:48:32.120
<v Speaker 1>hard hit rate actually was slightly less than it wasn't

0:48:32.120 --> 0:48:37.480
<v Speaker 1>the first half, Okay, groundball rate in the second half.

0:48:37.560 --> 0:48:40.759
<v Speaker 1>He was trying to make contact. It wasn't all George

0:48:40.800 --> 0:48:46.000
<v Speaker 1>spring hard hit rate last year. I want to know

0:48:46.040 --> 0:48:48.359
<v Speaker 1>George Springs harder hit rates the two years probor though

0:48:48.400 --> 0:48:51.280
<v Speaker 1>I have the thirty six percent two years ago, thirty

0:48:51.280 --> 0:48:55.759
<v Speaker 1>three percent three years ago. Okay, I feel like this

0:48:55.840 --> 0:48:58.000
<v Speaker 1>is like an outlier year for Springer, though I feel

0:48:58.000 --> 0:49:00.440
<v Speaker 1>like he's closer to thirty plus two their five home

0:49:00.520 --> 0:49:04.920
<v Speaker 1>run guy. Then he's he's been a full time player

0:49:05.400 --> 0:49:07.080
<v Speaker 1>for about four season now. He's always kind of in

0:49:07.160 --> 0:49:09.359
<v Speaker 1>his time. He's only played a hundred and sixty games once.

0:49:09.400 --> 0:49:12.640
<v Speaker 1>I didn't only put add fifty games. Not a lot

0:49:12.680 --> 0:49:15.799
<v Speaker 1>of guys do that. But he's only hit thirty He's

0:49:15.840 --> 0:49:18.040
<v Speaker 1>he's hit thirty four home runs only once. He's only

0:49:18.040 --> 0:49:19.839
<v Speaker 1>had thirty plus once fans, And that was the year

0:49:19.880 --> 0:49:22.080
<v Speaker 1>he had well, actually he didn't even have a full season,

0:49:22.160 --> 0:49:25.640
<v Speaker 1>but the full season he had twenty nine. So thirty. Basically,

0:49:25.640 --> 0:49:29.160
<v Speaker 1>you know he's got the power he has. Agree, Yeah, no,

0:49:29.200 --> 0:49:31.640
<v Speaker 1>I definitely give him that. He definitely give him the

0:49:31.640 --> 0:49:35.840
<v Speaker 1>power over Tommy fans, no doubt about that. I just

0:49:35.880 --> 0:49:38.000
<v Speaker 1>wonder what happened to the stolen basis he had sixteen

0:49:38.040 --> 0:49:40.440
<v Speaker 1>and twenty. Well, it's it's very simple. He's bad at it.

0:49:40.640 --> 0:49:43.279
<v Speaker 1>That's what happened. He's bad at it twenty. This is

0:49:43.280 --> 0:49:47.359
<v Speaker 1>an organizational philosophy thing. Carlos Korea doesn't steal bases anymore either,

0:49:47.520 --> 0:49:51.000
<v Speaker 1>I know, to a like he's Those are probably gonna

0:49:51.040 --> 0:49:53.719
<v Speaker 1>come down this year too of injury. So, as fan

0:49:53.800 --> 0:49:55.960
<v Speaker 1>Graphs notes, you don't steal a lot of basses, as

0:49:56.000 --> 0:49:58.279
<v Speaker 1>fan grafs notes, which I I told you, he's got

0:49:58.280 --> 0:50:01.960
<v Speaker 1>a percentage of second about fifty percent. He's last year

0:50:02.000 --> 0:50:05.640
<v Speaker 1>was his fourth straight season where his groundball rate increased,

0:50:05.719 --> 0:50:08.720
<v Speaker 1>which is really very bad. That is that is scary.

0:50:08.800 --> 0:50:10.840
<v Speaker 1>You don't want to see that. Look in Rhodo. I

0:50:10.840 --> 0:50:14.279
<v Speaker 1>don't really want Springer and points. I'll take him. Listen

0:50:14.360 --> 0:50:17.640
<v Speaker 1>this line. It's just tough to find any positive traits

0:50:17.680 --> 0:50:23.000
<v Speaker 1>for him. Who said that Fan Grafts ventures about to

0:50:23.000 --> 0:50:26.640
<v Speaker 1>go knock on someone. He's a great he's hitting my

0:50:26.680 --> 0:50:31.600
<v Speaker 1>bat and he's a great source of runs. That's a

0:50:31.600 --> 0:50:33.839
<v Speaker 1>great team. This is Jeff Zimmerman saying that a great

0:50:33.840 --> 0:50:36.160
<v Speaker 1>team you should get Jeff Sierman on the sholf after this.

0:50:36.239 --> 0:50:39.520
<v Speaker 1>That's what he doesn't see anything that's good about him. Okay,

0:50:39.840 --> 0:50:43.000
<v Speaker 1>so that's why he's Why is he a fantasy relevant player?

0:50:43.040 --> 0:50:45.920
<v Speaker 1>Then Springers once had once had a rounded skill set,

0:50:46.160 --> 0:50:48.920
<v Speaker 1>but now it's seen as skills stabilized and begins to decline.

0:50:49.239 --> 0:50:52.360
<v Speaker 1>He's productive with little upside as he ages into his thirties.

0:50:53.840 --> 0:50:57.280
<v Speaker 1>I disagree. You want to read Jeff's erman on Tommy

0:50:57.280 --> 0:51:01.240
<v Speaker 1>fam Yes, all right, where you finding these little tidbits?

0:51:02.480 --> 0:51:05.839
<v Speaker 1>Where do you where though? All the profile? Yeah? Yeah.

0:51:06.719 --> 0:51:08.319
<v Speaker 1>What owners need to come to groups with is how

0:51:08.360 --> 0:51:11.040
<v Speaker 1>much of the drop was regression and how much was aging?

0:51:11.560 --> 0:51:13.239
<v Speaker 1>When it comes to Tommy Fam because he saw a

0:51:13.280 --> 0:51:17.239
<v Speaker 1>bunch of averages dropped in. His owners should expecting to

0:51:17.880 --> 0:51:19.719
<v Speaker 1>season with a two eight average. He retains quite a

0:51:19.760 --> 0:51:22.879
<v Speaker 1>bit of value on basically because he's a twelve walk right.

0:51:23.200 --> 0:51:26.719
<v Speaker 1>The big issues surrounding FAM is if and when and

0:51:26.760 --> 0:51:30.680
<v Speaker 1>if he's when his eye disease uh, Herod's not heat

0:51:30.719 --> 0:51:33.319
<v Speaker 1>tokenist will become an issue again a major leage hit

0:51:33.320 --> 0:51:36.919
<v Speaker 1>her with vision issues. But about his eyes? Fantasy owners

0:51:36.920 --> 0:51:38.920
<v Speaker 1>are scared off by his medical history. It's pretty good.

0:51:39.280 --> 0:51:42.440
<v Speaker 1>He's a five category attributor. FAM provides value in all

0:51:42.480 --> 0:51:46.200
<v Speaker 1>fast to the game while seventeen. His production should continue,

0:51:46.280 --> 0:51:49.319
<v Speaker 1>especially if he stays healthy. And we just have you

0:51:49.360 --> 0:51:51.759
<v Speaker 1>try and pronounce that word over and over again, Harry talking.

0:51:53.120 --> 0:51:55.000
<v Speaker 1>I mean it's not an easy one. I'm not blaming you.

0:51:55.200 --> 0:51:58.239
<v Speaker 1>Why is he kind of fun about his eye to

0:51:58.400 --> 0:52:01.879
<v Speaker 1>an eye surgery? Is that definitely? What do you say that? When?

0:52:01.920 --> 0:52:03.600
<v Speaker 1>Did he have the eye surgery? Can we get the

0:52:03.600 --> 0:52:06.800
<v Speaker 1>phonetic spelling? Hang on, I'll look it up. No, I

0:52:06.840 --> 0:52:09.320
<v Speaker 1>do remember this was the thing last here with Tommy Family.

0:52:09.680 --> 0:52:11.720
<v Speaker 1>I think he had eye surgery. But when I'm thinking

0:52:11.800 --> 0:52:13.920
<v Speaker 1>did he play after the eye surgery, because if he did,

0:52:14.000 --> 0:52:16.040
<v Speaker 1>I mean the guy walked eight a ton of times

0:52:16.040 --> 0:52:21.120
<v Speaker 1>to seventy. Sometimes listen to this. Hang on, oh Jesus,

0:52:21.239 --> 0:52:25.440
<v Speaker 1>that's all right, well you're getting insected. Hang it was that.

0:52:25.480 --> 0:52:31.839
<v Speaker 1>Here you go, carrots actis alright, you weren't that far off?

0:52:32.480 --> 0:52:36.120
<v Speaker 1>Job pasaconis And here's your spelling. Be word of the day,

0:52:36.719 --> 0:52:48.160
<v Speaker 1>paconism his vision vision saving surgery. Look at that. Chris

0:52:48.360 --> 0:52:52.239
<v Speaker 1>is Laurenzo Caine in this crew with Springer, and who

0:52:52.239 --> 0:52:58.640
<v Speaker 1>else is Tommy fam right now? Uh? I don't know.

0:52:58.920 --> 0:53:02.480
<v Speaker 1>I don't think. I don't know. I like him in

0:53:02.520 --> 0:53:05.960
<v Speaker 1>the lineup, man, I like him where he is. Lurenzoka

0:53:06.080 --> 0:53:07.680
<v Speaker 1>is the oldest out of all these guys, will be

0:53:07.719 --> 0:53:10.200
<v Speaker 1>thirty three come April. I don't have him in the

0:53:10.239 --> 0:53:11.640
<v Speaker 1>same tire. You don't have him at the start of

0:53:11.680 --> 0:53:17.760
<v Speaker 1>the next year year. Tier three for me is Sally Marte,

0:53:17.840 --> 0:53:22.120
<v Speaker 1>Juan Soto, Andrew ben attending, Chris Davis with a Ka,

0:53:22.719 --> 0:53:26.400
<v Speaker 1>Reese Hoskins with Maryfield, Cody Bellinger, Tommy Fame, George Springer,

0:53:26.400 --> 0:53:28.480
<v Speaker 1>and Chris Bryant. That's the end of this tier. Tier

0:53:28.520 --> 0:53:32.600
<v Speaker 1>four starts Outfiller number twenty is Lorenzo Kin you have him.

0:53:33.560 --> 0:53:38.600
<v Speaker 1>Let start, He's a three category contributor, steals three very

0:53:38.680 --> 0:53:43.600
<v Speaker 1>tough categories to come by, steals un and average can

0:53:43.640 --> 0:53:46.960
<v Speaker 1>make You can make the case that those are the

0:53:47.000 --> 0:53:50.040
<v Speaker 1>three toughest categories. They are. That's just three tough. The

0:53:50.160 --> 0:53:54.400
<v Speaker 1>three toughest category are not a category, right, So average average,

0:53:54.400 --> 0:53:56.000
<v Speaker 1>it was been in the league average or on basement

0:53:56.440 --> 0:54:01.279
<v Speaker 1>when it comes to last walks seventy one times last year,

0:54:01.360 --> 0:54:03.440
<v Speaker 1>I think we took him over you in a CESPDUS

0:54:04.880 --> 0:54:07.080
<v Speaker 1>if you're if you're watching or listening, Michael Florio as

0:54:07.080 --> 0:54:10.600
<v Speaker 1>a call back to last year, was hurt and Lorenzo

0:54:10.719 --> 0:54:14.200
<v Speaker 1>Caine went in the middle of the fourth round in

0:54:14.239 --> 0:54:16.960
<v Speaker 1>my draft. Who was he was paired with Nolan Eronado,

0:54:17.000 --> 0:54:21.400
<v Speaker 1>which is just fantastic pictures. Yeah, it was Eronado and

0:54:21.640 --> 0:54:26.120
<v Speaker 1>great synderguard Lorenzo Caine. Excellent, big fan of that. Better

0:54:26.120 --> 0:54:30.200
<v Speaker 1>than my team, Yes, your first four years, Jose Ramirez,

0:54:30.239 --> 0:54:35.080
<v Speaker 1>Bryce Harper, Walker Bueller, James Paxson. Thanks, I think, but

0:54:35.120 --> 0:54:37.920
<v Speaker 1>I think both teams are good. Yes, I would say

0:54:38.920 --> 0:54:43.359
<v Speaker 1>he's probably done a better job after that. I don't

0:54:43.440 --> 0:54:45.520
<v Speaker 1>like I don't really like Joey Vado, but he took

0:54:45.600 --> 0:54:49.120
<v Speaker 1>Joey Vado. You know this guy's average. But yeah, like Lorenzo,

0:54:49.200 --> 0:54:52.240
<v Speaker 1>Caine is a perfect player to pair with again, Eronado

0:54:52.360 --> 0:54:56.040
<v Speaker 1>and j D. Martinez their four category contributors. But you

0:54:56.040 --> 0:54:59.640
<v Speaker 1>you're continuing to get I mean, with Eronado and and

0:55:00.200 --> 0:55:02.920
<v Speaker 1>j D. Martinez, you're continuing to get batting average category.

0:55:03.000 --> 0:55:05.640
<v Speaker 1>You're continuing to get run category. You're also getting stolen

0:55:05.640 --> 0:55:07.359
<v Speaker 1>basis and you can afford to take a little bit

0:55:07.360 --> 0:55:09.800
<v Speaker 1>of a hit at the home runs and the RBIs

0:55:09.800 --> 0:55:11.520
<v Speaker 1>because those guys are gonna give you so much yea,

0:55:11.640 --> 0:55:15.440
<v Speaker 1>and plus you can find like RBIs and home runs

0:55:15.520 --> 0:55:17.960
<v Speaker 1>later on in the draft. Mike Mustock is, you could

0:55:18.000 --> 0:55:22.040
<v Speaker 1>get ten twelveth rounds. So that's why if you'll find

0:55:22.040 --> 0:55:23.359
<v Speaker 1>a lot of guys like that. So this is why

0:55:23.360 --> 0:55:26.239
<v Speaker 1>I like Lorenzo Teaen. He's a good fit though, like

0:55:26.560 --> 0:55:28.480
<v Speaker 1>with with these players, and he's a good player. I mean,

0:55:28.480 --> 0:55:30.520
<v Speaker 1>the average is always gonna be around three hundred. He

0:55:30.560 --> 0:55:33.560
<v Speaker 1>doesn't he walks a lot. He does. He should go

0:55:33.600 --> 0:55:36.360
<v Speaker 1>in the fourth round of a fifteen team draft. He should.

0:55:36.560 --> 0:55:39.880
<v Speaker 1>He don't want him as my outfielder one though, I

0:55:39.880 --> 0:55:44.279
<v Speaker 1>think he's a great outfielder too. Here's the thing, the walks.

0:55:44.320 --> 0:55:46.640
<v Speaker 1>Historically he's not this big. I think he's gotten better

0:55:46.680 --> 0:55:50.120
<v Speaker 1>man maybe yeah, experience, maybe he's played discipline one. Yeah,

0:55:50.120 --> 0:55:51.640
<v Speaker 1>he's got But I think we gotta expect maybe the

0:55:51.640 --> 0:55:53.279
<v Speaker 1>stole basis to go down a little bit as he

0:55:53.320 --> 0:55:55.040
<v Speaker 1>gets older. He's an older player. I don't think the

0:55:55.040 --> 0:56:00.120
<v Speaker 1>sole basically gonna hang around much long. Grades going not

0:56:00.239 --> 0:56:03.680
<v Speaker 1>eleven and a half percent less at age, you know,

0:56:03.719 --> 0:56:08.760
<v Speaker 1>in his age season, because he's gonna be thirty three.

0:56:08.480 --> 0:56:11.000
<v Speaker 1>All right, then you know, some people might get scared

0:56:11.040 --> 0:56:13.879
<v Speaker 1>off and kind of like see the end coming here.

0:56:13.920 --> 0:56:17.400
<v Speaker 1>But dude, not the three or higher batting average in

0:56:17.440 --> 0:56:20.600
<v Speaker 1>the four of the past five seasons. He's always gonna

0:56:20.640 --> 0:56:22.239
<v Speaker 1>miss a couple of games. Like he'll probably have one

0:56:22.280 --> 0:56:24.800
<v Speaker 1>t L stint per year. Ninety runs scored in a

0:56:24.840 --> 0:56:28.160
<v Speaker 1>hundred and forty games in the in the Brewers lineup,

0:56:28.440 --> 0:56:30.239
<v Speaker 1>hurt you in home runs in RBIs like ten and

0:56:30.280 --> 0:56:33.080
<v Speaker 1>thirty eight. That's very bad, very bad. He's not a

0:56:33.120 --> 0:56:35.800
<v Speaker 1>power here, very bad. You don't even hit it doubles.

0:56:35.840 --> 0:56:38.759
<v Speaker 1>So yeah, what about it? Yeah about it? I forgot that.

0:56:38.840 --> 0:56:45.600
<v Speaker 1>Yeah that Lorenzo Kin and George Prayer. Frank should do

0:56:45.600 --> 0:56:48.839
<v Speaker 1>you have to change my rankings? Yeah, I'll still take

0:56:48.880 --> 0:56:52.160
<v Speaker 1>I'll still take Springer. Lorenzo Caine's a little bit up

0:56:52.160 --> 0:56:56.000
<v Speaker 1>there in age. He's also gonna miss some time. I'll

0:56:56.000 --> 0:56:58.440
<v Speaker 1>take Springer. Yeah, we get a whole lot more outfitters

0:56:58.480 --> 0:57:01.200
<v Speaker 1>to go. We're gonna do it on tomorrow. Show for

0:57:01.280 --> 0:57:04.520
<v Speaker 1>Chris Ventra, Frank Stanford, Christopa Vona, I am Grex Sausen

0:57:04.520 --> 0:57:06.160
<v Speaker 1>thinks so much for joining us the fantas best friends forever.

0:57:06.280 --> 0:57:11.160
<v Speaker 1>We'll do it all go tomorrow, we hope. M h
