Speaker 1: very comfortable and uh then I woke up, came to work.

Speaker 1: some NFL news to get to. The Vikings are releasing
Speaker 1: quarterback Xavier Rhodes. Chargers plan on using the franchise tag
Speaker 1: on tight end Hunter Henry and the Ravens attempt or
Speaker 1: will attempt to apply the franchise tag to defensive end
Speaker 1: linebacker Matthew Judon. Judan had nine and a half sax
Speaker 1: last year. Also thirty three hits on the quarterback. That's
Speaker 1: fourth best in the NFL last season. All right, let's
Speaker 1: get to the latest cancelations in the sports world. The
Speaker 1: latest has to be AUGUSTA National announcing the Masters Tournament
Speaker 1: will be postponed. It was set to take place April
Speaker 1: nine through April twelve. That is now the fifth tournament
Speaker 1: being postponed by the Golf Association. Other news, the n
Speaker 1: C Double A suspends all recruiting through April and also
Speaker 1: the n b A p A memo details doomsday pay provision.
Speaker 1: This is according to ESPN dot com. The cb A
Speaker 1: lousic claus called the force Maneuver event clause that includes
Speaker 1: multiple dramatic scenarios. In this case, the lead could trigger
Speaker 1: an event of first case scenario that would trigger some
Speaker 1: pay provisions. We'll get into that if we need to,
Speaker 1: but that is coming out, according to ESPN dot com.
Speaker 1: Some other cancelations NASCAR they canceled their event on Sunday
Speaker 1: and also next week's event in Miami Homestead, so the
Speaker 1: next two races have been canceled. According to NASCAR belot Or,
Speaker 1: they announced that they're canceling their fight card for tomorrow night,
Speaker 1: but UFC they plan on going ahead with their five card.
Speaker 1: H Dana White has said that I talked with Trump
Speaker 1: and advised them to go ahead with that card scheduled
Speaker 1: for tomorrow night. But the latest here, um, the NFL
Speaker 1: breaking news that we just reported on with the Vikings
Speaker 1: released a Zaba Rhodes and planning on using their franchise
Speaker 1: seg on Hunter handed the Chargers. That's your latest sports
Speaker 1: grid news update. Now back to Greg and Franky. All right,
Speaker 1: we're back here. Nice job there, Sean with that update,
Speaker 1: and he's constantly changing, constantly in motion here every single day, um,
Speaker 1: in sports and in fantasy sports. Obviously, because we had
Speaker 1: a draft live draft scheduled for last night that was
Speaker 1: pushed to an online draft, which was pushed to well
Speaker 1: maybe next month, we have to right now, Greg, we
Speaker 1: got the old PPD next to the draft dates, so
Speaker 1: it's now postponed, as I think most people who are
Speaker 1: playing for money should be doing right now. I have
Speaker 1: no problem if you want to participate in some of
Speaker 1: your free leagues, or if you want to do box
Speaker 1: drafts right now there's not really much on the line.
Speaker 1: That's fine, and but I know that we disagree a
Speaker 1: little bit on this, Greg, so we can we can
Speaker 1: get into it here and I have the tout Wars
Speaker 1: auction Sunday. I mean things are going as so you're
Speaker 1: doing that as playing the season. That's interesting because I
Speaker 1: believe you tweeted at all drafts must be postponed. I
Speaker 1: didn't say that definitively. I feel like exactly your tweet.
Speaker 1: I didn't write must be should. I think I wrote
Speaker 1: have to be post not must half. Maybe I should
Speaker 1: have put should because I got some blowback there was.
Speaker 1: It's half. Here we go for those for those who
Speaker 1: might be wondering, if you have a fantasy baseball draft
Speaker 1: plan in the upcoming weekends, you have to postpone for now.
Speaker 1: Nobody knows if and when the baseball season we started
Speaker 1: injured players of more time to heal. It completely changes
Speaker 1: player evaluation. Yeah, I know, that's why we should continue
Speaker 1: to draft. That's exactly why we should not continue to draft. Greg.
Speaker 1: And you know what, you'd actually have some fun reading
Speaker 1: the responses to that, because I got some pushback on
Speaker 1: that tweet, which I was not expecting Greg anywhere in
Speaker 1: that tweet, did I come off as above anybody because
Speaker 1: people responded to me saying, well, unlike you industry folk,
Speaker 1: we don't have the possibility to move our draft date back.
Speaker 1: We have to remain with our draft in place where
Speaker 1: it is I mean nowhere in that I will read.
Speaker 1: I will read those responses araft to postpone the draft
Speaker 1: for now. Some of us, quote regular guys don't have
Speaker 1: the same options flexibility as you people in the industry.
Speaker 1: My legal draft is scheduled. Our owners are smart enough
Speaker 1: and talent enough to make necessary adjustments. Sadly, some of
Speaker 1: us are not in the industry, and those can't reschedule
Speaker 1: an event that has been planned for months and somehow
Speaker 1: organized twelve the fifteen people to clear their schedules on
Speaker 1: a moment's notice and prepare properly. Our owners have prepared
Speaker 1: to draft this season, so now is appropriate. You can
Speaker 1: absolutely draft now. We have a live auction plan next Saturday.
Speaker 1: I would even argue you should draft now. Break. You know,
Speaker 1: I like to come on this program and call myself
Speaker 1: man of people. I think, judging by the responses to
Speaker 1: your tweet, man of the people, I'm with them. I
Speaker 1: don't know that you want to be the man of
Speaker 1: those people. He referred to me as you people. Uh
Speaker 1: you are you people? What you're one of the stuff
Speaker 1: industry guys. Tot wars you're talking about your tot wars
Speaker 1: auctions still go on this weekend. Well, you know what,
Speaker 1: which I disagree with. By the way, us regular folk
Speaker 1: around these parts, we gotta do what works best for everybody.
Speaker 1: Our schedules not just postponed because it's not enough information.
Speaker 1: So who are regular folks who's uh so all right?
Speaker 1: So who is the stuck up one that has so
Speaker 1: many things planned on their schedule that they can't move
Speaker 1: back their fantasy draft. This is the way things need
Speaker 1: to be. I planned my fantasy draft right now, and
Speaker 1: there's no way that in the future I can find
Speaker 1: another night at any time to do a fantasy baseball draft. People,
Speaker 1: I don't think you're being fair to people. Maybe there's
Speaker 1: a possibility that twelve or fifty people. I'll use genp
Speaker 1: Ten as an example. Our guest yesterday. She flew in
Speaker 1: from California this week to participate in drafts our draft
Speaker 1: last night that did not happen. She's hosting Suffer tout Wars.
Speaker 1: She participated in a draft today, a live draft, and
Speaker 1: quite frankly, she's like, listen, I don't have the funds
Speaker 1: to fly across country again, like this is the weekend.
Speaker 1: I have the draft, and if we make it in
Speaker 1: two weeks from now, three weeks from now, or a
Speaker 1: month or whenever have you, I can't be there. So
Speaker 1: there's the type of people right that actually can't do it.
Speaker 1: I understand. Look, if you if you're flying somewhere, which
Speaker 1: people do, even that right now might not be the
Speaker 1: smartest thing to do. And we appreciate having Tenning studio,
Speaker 1: no doubt about it. So it was great yesterday I
Speaker 1: was I was watching. It was more a step up,
Speaker 1: to be honest with you, all right, Well, who knows,
Speaker 1: maybe uh maybe gen p a TENTI can become a
Speaker 1: best friend forever. Just three years ago she's been on
Speaker 1: the program. That is true. Um, but look, if you
Speaker 1: can't change the date of your draft, that's fine. Like
Speaker 1: like it was a suggestion. I didn't no, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: it was a I guess I should have. I should
Speaker 1: have wrote should if fine? Semantics if you want to
Speaker 1: criticize the semantics of the tweet, But it was my
Speaker 1: suggestion of what I think people should do. People think
Speaker 1: people are trying to figure out, trying to figure out
Speaker 1: how everything that's going on with coronavirus affects their industry
Speaker 1: affects their job. Greg, we talk about fantasy baseball here
Speaker 1: that we love to do, and I was offering what
Speaker 1: I think should be the plan of action within this
Speaker 1: industry and fantasy baseball. You're You're allowed to disagree. People
Speaker 1: are allowed to disagree. And if you have your draft
Speaker 1: already planned and I understand, Look, you might have twelve
Speaker 1: people in the league. All you guys are fathers, grandfathers,
Speaker 1: whatever it might be. You have families, and if this
Speaker 1: is when it is planned for, then sure ahead with it.
Speaker 1: I don't have a problem with that. I didn't mean
Speaker 1: to come off as saying like you have to do it.
Speaker 1: It's my suggestion, and I think if you, I think
Speaker 1: the smart thing to do is to wait until we
Speaker 1: at least have a timetable of some sort. You might
Speaker 1: think that it's more fun. Sure, it might be more fun.
Speaker 1: I just don't think that it's intelligent to do that
Speaker 1: right now. Intelligent Now you're calling us common folk. Dump
Speaker 1: this is what he's doing. You heard him, it's not
Speaker 1: intelligent for us the draft right now. You thought I
Speaker 1: was the heel of this show. You are dead wrong.
Speaker 1: He just called you quote not intelligent. Your words not mine.
Speaker 1: That's correct me. It's not smart to be drafting right
Speaker 1: now in fantasy baseball. I think it is what I
Speaker 1: was following along. I'm glad you bring this off. How
Speaker 1: much luck would you say goes into the wind category?
Speaker 1: Probably way more luck than it should be? Right? Absolutely so?
Speaker 1: Aren't we trying to eliminate as much luck as we
Speaker 1: possibly ken when playing fantasy sports? I mean, it's going
Speaker 1: to be there already. Shouldn't we try and eliminate as
Speaker 1: as much luck as we possibly can? Well, this has
Speaker 1: give an opportunity for us to create more that's exciting
Speaker 1: changes that it's called deflecting people rank I ever exthly
Speaker 1: else have after the break that I noticed, I'm pretty
Speaker 1: sure you're not a fan of deflecting more of the
Speaker 1: white Next, are you ready for the nation's first and
Speaker 1: only free, twenty four hour network dedicated to you the

Speaker 1: a day here to serve you the fanatic. This is

Speaker 1: a second. Sports You can't stop the Vandal sports fantastic.
Speaker 1: There is nothing going on right now. Like you can
Speaker 1: see the background, they're watching some horse racing from somewhere. Yes,
Speaker 1: somewhere around the world has happened. I mean, that's one
Speaker 1: of the only things you could better them right now
Speaker 1: is horses and the Vandal Sports Book or the Fandel
Speaker 1: racing books packed as ever unbelievable. This is why on
Speaker 1: if we're here live Monday. This is what we're covering
Speaker 1: right here. Yeah, why not us other people? Fantasy ponies?
Speaker 1: Look at this. Look the practices. You know, all these
Speaker 1: people have to work from home. We're not working, so
Speaker 1: they just go Well, Gregg, I can tell you, as
Speaker 1: someone who Week Daily hosts a show from there, that
Speaker 1: there are a lot of people in there every single day, Greg,
Speaker 1: So they didn't need to be told that they needed
Speaker 1: to work from home in order to be at the
Speaker 1: Fandel Sports book. I can tell you that for sure understandable.
Speaker 1: Show now you yourself, Frank, I know you're very as
Speaker 1: most people are. You very very nervous about what's going on,
Speaker 1: attracting the disease and ultimately giving you the disease to
Speaker 1: somebody else in a very scary situation. Now much of
Speaker 1: your normal daily routine involved fantasy sports is what you
Speaker 1: live for, like you care about it incredibly mute. And
Speaker 1: I saw you in a Facebook thread with your fiance
Speaker 1: talking about like how your life is over now because
Speaker 1: there's no there's no fantasy sports for you to play
Speaker 1: or researcher or do. So if you are stuck at home, Frank,
Speaker 1: over the next day, a couple of days, weeks, I know,
Speaker 1: like once you get home tonight, like I cant imagine
Speaker 1: you're leaving your apartment or your house until like you're
Speaker 1: forced to come to work, even if you're not, even
Speaker 1: though you might stay home anyway, and you you chastize
Speaker 1: your own brother if you're going out getting jerks of
Speaker 1: the buddies. So given that you are home for the
Speaker 1: next seventy two hours, essentially, how many draft champions will
Speaker 1: you be participating in while you're at home? So Craigs
Speaker 1: asked me the same question because he often criticized me
Speaker 1: for drafting early, and I have told him all along
Speaker 1: that I realized drafting early is not smart because there's
Speaker 1: injuries that are going to take place. But I do
Speaker 1: like to have skin in the game, and I like
Speaker 1: to be able to follow a player movement and look
Speaker 1: back at previous drafts and kind of see where players
Speaker 1: are moving in terms of where where they're being selected
Speaker 1: on the draft board. But I'm going to stick to
Speaker 1: my guns, Greg, and I said the exact same thing
Speaker 1: on Fantasies for today. I will not be participating in
Speaker 1: any drafts for money until we have some silly timetable.
Speaker 1: You're not that's it, You're done. Yeah, Like I'll do
Speaker 1: something like mock drafts or drafts. You've been freaking doing
Speaker 1: draft for months, dude, What are you doing a mock
Speaker 1: draft for? Exactly? Okay? Right? Yeah, Now, this is a
Speaker 1: chance for you and your fiance to connect watch the
Speaker 1: Netflix together. That's correct, sit on the couch and make
Speaker 1: up for all this lost time. Right, give me your
Speaker 1: top five shows I should be watching right now. You
Speaker 1: know you shoul start doing we start just drafting random
Speaker 1: things like TV shows. Um, but that's the all draft
Speaker 1: everything podcast podcast. Um. I'm watching Hunters right now, really enjoyable.
Speaker 1: That's the fad. That's that's on the list for sure.
Speaker 1: That in The Outsider? Do you watch the Outsider? I
Speaker 1: did watch The Outsider, and I really liked it. I
Speaker 1: thought the last episode was the biggest piece of garbage
Speaker 1: I've ever seen, worse than the ending of Game of Thrones,
Speaker 1: I think, so. Yeah, I hated the ending of The Outsider.
Speaker 1: All right, Well, it doesn't make me feel great about
Speaker 1: watching it now. And I don't see eye to eye
Speaker 1: on everything. I don't maybe I would like I actually
Speaker 1: don't see how anybody would like the ending. Like I
Speaker 1: talked to a few people, and people I loved the
Speaker 1: show and they hated the ending. What if I told
Speaker 1: you I didn't hate the ending of Dexter, Does that mean,
Speaker 1: like I might actually like the ending of this? Then sure?
Speaker 1: All right, that's crazy. I didn't like the ending of Dexter,
Speaker 1: but I didn't think it was as bad as people be.
Speaker 1: The first person I've ever heard say that. Actually, I
Speaker 1: don't know. Maybe I need to you watch it. I mean,
Speaker 1: at the time I watch it, you know what happened,
Speaker 1: you know exactly why everybody hates it, you know, so
Speaker 1: you don't need to rewatch it. But like, why do
Speaker 1: you not hate it? Why do you just like but
Speaker 1: not hate? Well, I don't want to spoil it for anyone.
Speaker 1: It's been out forever, you know, like, can we oiled
Speaker 1: it by now? Yes? Years? What if people haven't watched
Speaker 1: Dexter Too Bad? Um, I feel like someone who takes
Speaker 1: justice into his own hands. Greg and Dexter and other
Speaker 1: shows like that and Breaking Bad are are really great
Speaker 1: because they create this anti hero persona where like you're
Speaker 1: you wind up rooting for someone who you shouldn't be,
Speaker 1: Like Dexter is breaking the law and he's murdering people,
Speaker 1: but technically he's murdering people who are also murderers string
Speaker 1: and then that it wasn't always the case. But yes,
Speaker 1: so look in the end, he probably should have died.
Speaker 1: Thank Yes, But I think having to spend a life
Speaker 1: alone in isolation chopping down trees is punishment as well, right,
Speaker 1: it's not really spending in isolation, like there's other people
Speaker 1: there he could find he continue to kill. He could
Speaker 1: fall in love again. Why not? I don't know. That's
Speaker 1: That's not what I got from the ends. He left,
Speaker 1: He left his son with a murderous girlfriend. What it's ridiculous.
Speaker 1: He let his own sister die. He killed his boss.
Speaker 1: But not good dude, ridiculous. No, he's not a good
Speaker 1: He didn't want They didn't want to kill him off
Speaker 1: incase they ever wanted to come back to the series.
Speaker 1: And that's clearly what happened. It's terrible. I don't think
Speaker 1: they were going to come back by the way. I
Speaker 1: don't want them. I don't think that that's going to
Speaker 1: happen because of how poorly it ended. Oh that twenty
Speaker 1: four has come back multiple times despite ending quite poorly
Speaker 1: as well. And then, you know, speaking of bad endings
Speaker 1: of shows, Game of Thrones, apparently the whole reason it
Speaker 1: was rush is because D and D were the show runners.
Speaker 1: We're going to take over for Star Wars. Isn't that
Speaker 1: like not happening anymore? It's not happening, So they rushed
Speaker 1: the ending of the show for no reason, right, and
Speaker 1: they also the show. It makes me feel, so it's
Speaker 1: worse about the show they were going to do for
Speaker 1: HBO which is about the Confederate, like a Confederate's won
Speaker 1: the Civil War. They've left HBO and they've got to
Speaker 1: Netflix now it's exclusive deals, so that's gone too. Although
Speaker 1: my dad, I was talking to me yesterday, he's currently
Speaker 1: reading a book by David Benny Huff. Huh is it good? Really?
Speaker 1: See really enjoying it all? Right? Well, maybe they actually
Speaker 1: took their time on the book, greg Or, he took
Speaker 1: just one of them. Yeah, he took his time on
Speaker 1: the book. He didn't he didn't rush through the ending.
Speaker 1: You know who? I think it's? Banning Off is married
Speaker 1: to actress, right, that's right, right, Yeah, man's a Pete.
Speaker 1: You know she's in the show that returned last night.
Speaker 1: Oh a very bittersweet moment, greg I actually did know
Speaker 1: this because once I really got into brock Meyer, I
Speaker 1: was like, how can someone so awesome marry somebody who
Speaker 1: ruined Game of Thrones? How can you do this? Rock
Speaker 1: Meyer is a fantastic show. It's back. You put me
Speaker 1: on it. Um, but it's bitter sweet because um, it
Speaker 1: is returned. But this is the final season. Is I'm excited?
Speaker 1: I have no idea what D's gonna go. It's gonna
Speaker 1: be very fun to watch, or the next time maybe
Speaker 1: I'll binge watched that over the weekend. Although I should
Speaker 1: probably just watch things I've never watched, the idea, but
Speaker 1: what I always do is right before, like the new season,
Speaker 1: if something comes out, a like rewatch the series to
Speaker 1: remember what happened. Yeah, I try not have to do that.
Speaker 1: West World's coming back this weekend, like I'm gonna be
Speaker 1: lost very quickly, so I'm not watching. You could just
Speaker 1: watch a YouTube video that kind of like, yes, twenty minute.
Speaker 1: That's what I did for um, the Marvel movies. Actually,
Speaker 1: when I wanted to watch Adventures. There were so many
Speaker 1: Marvel movies that I haven't seen, but I wanted to watch,
Speaker 1: like Infinity Wars and The Endgame and there are there's
Speaker 1: just so many movies I haven't seen, like a single
Speaker 1: Thorn movie. So I just watch like a catch me
Speaker 1: up make sense, and it did a pretty good job.
Speaker 1: That's cool. I kind of know, like the whole grand
Speaker 1: scheme of things. So um, Judy just today, she's working
Speaker 1: from home. She just sign up for she's watching US now,
Speaker 1: she's watching Hulu. She ordered the free trial. She couldn't
Speaker 1: figure out how to do it, and I was refusing
Speaker 1: to do it for her, and I was like, listen,
Speaker 1: when you figured out you could do it, or is
Speaker 1: free trial days? Who cares? But she was like, what
Speaker 1: a bully. You have to do it the man of
Speaker 1: the people, this is who you want to look out to.
Speaker 1: Let me continue. So today I was going to go
Speaker 1: home get the free trial for her as a trade
Speaker 1: because if I did that I wanted, then you can
Speaker 1: make her play. I want to be a man of
Speaker 1: the people and support the local restaurants around my apartment
Speaker 1: and go out to dinner. She's like, I'm not leaving
Speaker 1: the apartment. That's ridiculous. Let's support local businesses. I know
Speaker 1: where you stand on that man of the people trying
Speaker 1: to support local businesses in this time of need. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I know you disagree with that because we're being for
Speaker 1: just being real for a second here ground Well we're
Speaker 1: always really here on I'm not lying anybody. Um, it's
Speaker 1: a fine line, right, Like you obviously want to take
Speaker 1: everything that's going on very seriously, and a lot of
Speaker 1: the what you read and what you what you're hearing
Speaker 1: is that you know you should take the proper precautions
Speaker 1: and let me yourself to other exposure to uh, humans
Speaker 1: and gatherings and stuff. So it seems like you're you're
Speaker 1: kind of taking that for granted by going out. But
Speaker 1: I even here all day. Right, We've ben act, I've
Speaker 1: been interacting with people. So as long as the government
Speaker 1: tells me like, hey, you can still do this, just
Speaker 1: be smart about it and pure l and sneezing your
Speaker 1: arm and do everything right, I've gotten So I'm sure
Speaker 1: you have. As many people have all these emails from
Speaker 1: different restaurants and businesses say hey, we're open, We're taking
Speaker 1: all these millions of precautions. I want to support them personally.
Speaker 1: All right, it's probably gonna make ramen tonight. That's so depressing.
Speaker 1: It's gonna be Frank's Friday. You did you beer? Sure?
Speaker 1: I did buy a twelve pack yesterday, Greg, So I
Speaker 1: stopped up for the week. It's not gonna las year
Speaker 1: for the weekend. Probably not have a few more stragglers
Speaker 1: though in the fridge. I have a lot of like
Speaker 1: alcohol at alcohol. We wasn't wine last night too, um
Speaker 1: So tomorrow I was supposed to go on a bachelor party.
Speaker 1: Buddy's having a baby next month, so we're all gonna
Speaker 1: go and I told you the brewery in Brooklyn do that,
Speaker 1: and everyone's like, I don't know. I don't know if
Speaker 1: that's a good idea. So now we're trying to figure
Speaker 1: out what we could do. And there was I don't
Speaker 1: think everyone wants everybody over their apartment, Like should we
Speaker 1: just we go out somewhere together? Were things like a
Speaker 1: park store outside. I know what's gonna happen. I don't
Speaker 1: know the answer. Yeah, And you brought up the possibility
Speaker 1: of playing spikeball, Greg, and even even that, I don't
Speaker 1: know how smart it is, because like everyone's hand is
Speaker 1: touching the ball, and I don't I don't disagree with
Speaker 1: this is something that during that it's like dirty, right,
Speaker 1: He's like washing my hands. It's it's dirty, the ball
Speaker 1: on the grass and stuff. I was surprised, surprised, Greg.
Speaker 1: I was watching Joe Must Grow start yesterday the Pittsburgh
Speaker 1: Pirates broadcast and Chris Archer kind of gave his thoughts
Speaker 1: on everything that's happening, and he said, look, if you
Speaker 1: think about it, he's like licking his finger to get
Speaker 1: a grip on the ball. He's throwing the ball to
Speaker 1: the catcher. It's in the catcher's mind. The catchers throwing
Speaker 1: it back, the ball gets put in play. Next thing,
Speaker 1: you know, the shortstops picking up the ball. He's throwing
Speaker 1: at the first base. People are catching it in the outfield.
Speaker 1: They're throwing the ball in. So it's like everyone's hand
Speaker 1: is on the ball, like so's that's like if you're
Speaker 1: thinking about it from like a baseball perspective or just
Speaker 1: like any sport perspective, like this is why they need
Speaker 1: to take the time off. That they are doing right
Speaker 1: and again, and Rudy Gobert changed everything every good reason,
Speaker 1: not just because he that's sick, but it's like the
Speaker 1: six degrees of Rudy go Beart is crazy, right because
Speaker 1: the Jazz have played all these teams in last fourteen days.
Speaker 1: They've stated all these hotels. One of those teams is
Speaker 1: in New York Picks. They've taken all these flights, and
Speaker 1: they've been in all these locker rooms, and like the
Speaker 1: East is here, Maddion Square Garden. The Jazz played Maison
Speaker 1: Square Garden last week. And you had these tournament when
Speaker 1: all these teams sharing locker rooms, Like I don't want
Speaker 1: Rudy Gobert's locker like all and with all those six
Speaker 1: degrees of separation and all what you just named, you
Speaker 1: have to you had no choice, you cancel all these things.
Speaker 1: You had absolutely no choice. That's where we are sports
Speaker 1: un Zoe for now. Angel, her name is see you
Speaker 1: in June, Gregg. It's nothing we hope we did. Indeed,
Speaker 1: all right, we're gonna come back. Well, they look at baseball.

Speaker 1: tell you how to take advantage. I'll teach Frank a
Speaker 1: few things they're at. Are you ready for the nation's
Speaker 1: first and only, free, twenty four hour network dedicated to you,

Speaker 1: They care about making money. On their horses, Frank on
Speaker 1: the ponies. Look, I can't blame them, the pot the ponies.
Speaker 1: They're fun. Man. The one time that I actually, i'm
Speaker 1: gonna say, you know, been to a racetrack live, although
Speaker 1: I was at a racetrack every day when I was there,
Speaker 1: but actually to like watch horses live, it was a
Speaker 1: very enjoyable experience. So I understand the fun hind betting
Speaker 1: on horses. I actually have to like have a refresher
Speaker 1: course myself because the one time I've done it, I
Speaker 1: was like top that day, and once I picked it up,
Speaker 1: it was it was a lot of fun. So I
Speaker 1: can't really blame people for wanting to bet on horses.
Speaker 1: It's the only thing available and it is a lot
Speaker 1: of fun. Yeah, absolutely, I've done it, uh a little once,
Speaker 1: I think too, Blast it's great. Um So you walked
Speaker 1: in this morning and you go, Greg, you go. So
Speaker 1: my Tout Wars auction still on Sunday, and I was like,
Speaker 1: holy crap, my bff could invite me share his Tout
Speaker 1: Wars auction team. We couldn't auction together earlier this week.
Speaker 1: And I know how much towt Wars meant to him.
Speaker 1: He's like he's gonna want me to do with him,
Speaker 1: to be a part of man. I was like that's
Speaker 1: really cool, and I was like yeah, Frank, He's like
Speaker 1: I don't know how to do it, man, Like can
Speaker 1: you help me? And like like what are your team?
Speaker 1: Like no, no, no, but I just like talk some
Speaker 1: stuff out with me, Like sure, Frank, I'll happily do that.
Speaker 1: Here we are. It's the same thing we do every day, Greg, correct,
Speaker 1: And that's what we try to help me. I try
Speaker 1: to help you and and here we are. Here we
Speaker 1: are all by yourself. I really do need your help. Craig.
Speaker 1: How much money do I spend on Justin Verlander this weekend?
Speaker 1: So Justin Verlander is a great question. Justin Verlander had
Speaker 1: this mild latch strain. What we know about mild latch
Speaker 1: strains or Latin were medium latch strains. Frank was that
Speaker 1: it costs Louis Savorino, like what two months? Three months
Speaker 1: the medium latch strain. So Verlander's mild latch strain. Let's
Speaker 1: cut the difference a bit and say it cost him
Speaker 1: a month and a half. Okay? Is that reasonable? Dare?
Speaker 1: So he did this in the middle of March We'll
Speaker 1: just call it March as a random date. If it
Speaker 1: takes a month and a half, he is going to
Speaker 1: be full bore by May one. Frank asked me when
Speaker 1: I think the MLB season will are? Greg When do
Speaker 1: you think the MLB season will start May one? Frank,
Speaker 1: so Justin Verlander starting on opening day for the Houston Astra.
Speaker 1: I don't want to say that, but I think that
Speaker 1: Justin Verlander is once again I need to move them
Speaker 1: once again, my fifth starting pitcher off the board. You
Speaker 1: move them back up. So that would mean that you
Speaker 1: are okay spending about I don't know, in a twelve
Speaker 1: team leagues whatever you Knowber, you're about to tell me,
Speaker 1: you know it's not gonna cost you that thirty five
Speaker 1: dollars on Justin Verlander. I'd more rather, I'd rather spend
Speaker 1: thirty but like thirty two i'd spend Yeah, what do
Speaker 1: you think its a little high? Like thirty two? Yes,
Speaker 1: Fantasy Pros has him for thirty seven dollars. Still, you
Speaker 1: wouldn't spend that much on Justin Verlander. Always been that much.
Speaker 1: But I would never spend that much on Justin Berlinder.
Speaker 1: I don't think so. I'll let you in on a little, um,
Speaker 1: a little bit of my strategy for Sunday. I'm not
Speaker 1: gonna tell you who I'm bedding on necessarily our strategy. Greg.
Speaker 1: I'll let you in a little bit of our Tout
Speaker 1: Wars strategy Greg Sausen and my self team BF in
Speaker 1: the tout Wars. I hope you email the people, will
Speaker 1: probably Todzola and let him now. Yes, yes, I'm on
Speaker 1: that right now. Actually, I'll wait till the break. I
Speaker 1: will email Toddzola. I'll have him just add you as
Speaker 1: a co owner to the online auction, Greg, and we'll
Speaker 1: face time together and we'll make it happen a lot.
Speaker 1: As of now, I have already pre planned my auction something.
Speaker 1: I know that you are not a huge fan of Listen,
Speaker 1: you were the main towt Wars owner. Here are you
Speaker 1: can do your thing. I got it. I have thirty
Speaker 1: dollars allocated for my top starting even available time is
Speaker 1: this two pm on Sunday. Schedule is pretty open, Okay, alright,
Speaker 1: you're not busy, not playing spike Ball on Sunday, not
Speaker 1: supporting the local restaurants. No, not for lunch. No, I
Speaker 1: am available for the tout Wars auction. Save to Wars,
Speaker 1: I have allocated thirty dollars to my sp one something
Speaker 1: that I know you like to do. Figure out how
Speaker 1: much money you're gonna spend that each position. Do you
Speaker 1: think I can get Justin Verlander for thirty dollars? That
Speaker 1: was the number I just told you, Right, that's what
Speaker 1: you want to spend. But I think I can get
Speaker 1: him for thirty dollars. I think it's realistic. Would you
Speaker 1: spend okay, would you you have at thirty dollars? We're
Speaker 1: gonna do. Actually, I'm gonna pull up Labor because they
Speaker 1: actually had a twelve team auction recently. I just pulled
Speaker 1: up I pulled up auctions over the last two days.
Speaker 1: But those are fifteen teams. So kind of the thing
Speaker 1: is if you play in a twelve team league, there's
Speaker 1: less owners, there's more money to spend. What how mud
Speaker 1: you want it for eight dollars league? So he's gonna
Speaker 1: go for more than that. It's more money to spend
Speaker 1: in a twelfth teamer. It's got a text for well window,
Speaker 1: will you know what I said? I am looking forward
Speaker 1: to your TAT Wars debut. Thank you well as am
Speaker 1: I thank you very much. Just fantastic. It's fantastic. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna take it out like, thank you so much Todd
Speaker 1: Zola and the crew for that, believeally emailing Todd after
Speaker 1: the show. So do note that out so much. You
Speaker 1: might be f f at rho thanks or letting me
Speaker 1: join him in his town wars. I actually will probably
Speaker 1: get in trouble if you do that. What do you
Speaker 1: in trouble for? There's no co owners allowed, all right.
Speaker 1: So a couple of weeks ago they had the labor
Speaker 1: mixed auction twelve team league. Our own Craig Mission participated
Speaker 1: in this. You wound up with Shane Bieber at Justin
Speaker 1: Justin Verlander at the time went for thirty six dollars.
Speaker 1: This was before the injury. Greg. I'll let you know
Speaker 1: a few players who go who went around thirty dollars
Speaker 1: and you let me know if that he's my fifth
Speaker 1: starting pictures, so you know how I feel, all right?
Speaker 1: So Shane Bieber goes went for twenty nine what what
Speaker 1: number starting pictures for you? Like seven or eight? So
Speaker 1: then that means based on your ranking that you'd probably
Speaker 1: be you'd be willing to spend like actually thirty two
Speaker 1: dollars on Justin something. Yes, he said, I said, ideally thirty,
Speaker 1: but when I go to thirty two, Yes, all right,
Speaker 1: you might be able to get Justin Verland forty. Would
Speaker 1: you do it? I'll be I would be in on
Speaker 1: the bidding if that's like when it's slowing down. Sure,
Speaker 1: I think Mike Clevinger's more interesting name here. But here's
Speaker 1: the one problem with right. So if I'm right and
Speaker 1: baseball starts May feet, we need Justin Verlander and Mike
Speaker 1: Clevinger healthy several weeks before that in order to be
Speaker 1: ready to go when baseball starts. These are they're just
Speaker 1: healthy on May first, and I think they will well,
Speaker 1: I do think they'll both be healthy. And it's worth
Speaker 1: mentioning that Clev was already ramping things up and look
Speaker 1: like he might he might have been ready for like
Speaker 1: a mid to late April, And that was always the
Speaker 1: idea was mid to late April for Clev. MA. That's
Speaker 1: what it was, right, and we thought we thought the
Speaker 1: animator was very realistic, and that's where I thought, can
Speaker 1: he be healthy to go the first week in May?
Speaker 1: It sounds like the answer is yes he can. Verlander,
Speaker 1: is he going to start throwing. I don't know. That's
Speaker 1: part of the questions we have to ask ourselves. Mike Clevinger,
Speaker 1: before he got hurt, was going where Frank like, what
Speaker 1: the crew was he in? Before he got hurt, he
Speaker 1: was going. He was inching up around that like Walker,
Speaker 1: Bueler crew, like the early second round. So he's with Strasburg, Flaherty, Beaver,
Speaker 1: ahead of those guys. Ahead of those guys. He was
Speaker 1: like for most people to consensus number six or six,
Speaker 1: there was almost that's ahead of Steven Strassburg, ahead of Strasburg.
Speaker 1: Would you rather have right now you're drafting today, you're
Speaker 1: drafting Sunday. I know you're not should not have to
Speaker 1: do that. What you are you're drafting Sunday. Would you
Speaker 1: rather have Mike Clevinger or Blake's now? Definitely Mike Clevinger, really,
Speaker 1: Blake Snell's fine. Also he's throwing? Is he fine? Because
Speaker 1: the last time we saw him he walked four people
Speaker 1: but he only got one out. He was throwings, not
Speaker 1: throwing it. He was going to wrap things up, saying
Speaker 1: I worry more about snow because it's it's elbow, it's
Speaker 1: arm related. True. Clevinger look I don't want to downplay
Speaker 1: a kne injury for a starting picture. It's on his
Speaker 1: his plant leg. It's not ideal, but it's a lot
Speaker 1: more serviceable, i'd say, than in an elbow injury to
Speaker 1: your throwing arm. Would you rather have here we go,
Speaker 1: and based on when we start playing baseball game Blakes
Speaker 1: now might be perfectly fine as well. Correct. Would you
Speaker 1: rather have Mike Clevinger or Noah Synder guard Clevinger? Would
Speaker 1: you rather have Mike Clevinger? So I took him at
Speaker 1: the end of the third round in a draft Greig
Speaker 1: or Patrick Corbin? So I think in that draft that
Speaker 1: I did, I took Clevinger over Corbin. So that means
Speaker 1: basically what you're telling me. Let me let me do
Speaker 1: one more before I finalize this. Would you rather have
Speaker 1: Mike Clevinger, Jack Flaherty Levinger? Now, obviously this is what
Speaker 1: it is right now? Did rather have Mike Clevinger or
Speaker 1: Steven Strasburg. By that reaction, Clevinger's back where he was
Speaker 1: for you. That's it. That's all I needed to know
Speaker 1: he is back in the same mix to think he
Speaker 1: has to be right, I am agreeing with you. So
Speaker 1: on Sunday in your auction, how much are you willing
Speaker 1: to pay for Mike Clevinger. All these guys that we
Speaker 1: just named Bieber, Flowery, Strasburg, they all go for let's
Speaker 1: say around thirty dollars. You should be you should be
Speaker 1: willing to spend that much on Clevinger. That's what I'm
Speaker 1: getting it. You're back, Yeah, okay, And I just said
Speaker 1: earlier that I am. I want to have allocated thirty
Speaker 1: dollars in my budget to my sp one, so that
Speaker 1: could potentially be Clevinger or justin Berlin. Are you confident
Speaker 1: my Clevingers as your sp one? Yeah? If yes, yes,
Speaker 1: based on the season getting pushed back. So I will
Speaker 1: make that note in my draft sheet for Sunday. Perfect.
Speaker 1: You wanted another picture, Frank in your draft. You have
Speaker 1: a draft Sunday. We have a draft. I asked you
Speaker 1: to have I could join your team. He said yes,
Speaker 1: and I'm tweeting out we'll finish it while you're talking.
Speaker 1: Um up next James Paxton. The Paxton a really interesting
Speaker 1: one because he has his back surgery and we're like,
Speaker 1: oh my god, here we go again. He's back the
Speaker 1: middle of May, and we keep using this may first
Speaker 1: date as when they're coming back, potentially James Paxson yesterday Wednesday,
Speaker 1: or rather start to throw it again. He's ramping him
Speaker 1: back up, Frank James Paxson. As I look at my
Speaker 1: list all the way down to picture fifty five, where
Speaker 1: should he be now? So all along I did not
Speaker 1: have him that far down. So I have my pitch
Speaker 1: for ranks up, and I had James Paxson at so fine.
Speaker 1: Probably got him. Gotta bump him up. He'll probably be
Speaker 1: a top forty starting pitcheon for me. I think that's
Speaker 1: kind of where he is now. Hit your thirty four
Speaker 1: for me, Well, I think you can be optimistic that
Speaker 1: Paxson will not miss as much time as he was
Speaker 1: going to before. You still have to realize this guy
Speaker 1: has been so injury prone in his career that even
Speaker 1: if he returns when the season is ready to get going,
Speaker 1: or early in whenever the season starts, he's still going
Speaker 1: to be a very high risk for re injury. He
Speaker 1: has never pitched more than a hundred and sixty and
Speaker 1: a third endings pitch. I'm still somewhat worried about James Paxon. Greg.
Speaker 1: Let's find out how worried you are about shoe Otani.
Speaker 1: Right after this, are you ready for the nation's first
Speaker 1: and only, free, twenty four hour network dedicated to you,
Speaker 1: the betting and fantasy sports enthusiast. Sports Grade will provide
Speaker 1: you with a real time content, statistics and gaming intelligence
Speaker 1: unlike anything you've ever seen before. Located both in the
Speaker 1: heart of New York City and inside the FanDuel Sports
Speaker 1: book at the meadow Lands Sports Crade, He's live eighteen
Speaker 1: hours a day here to serve you the fanatic. This
Speaker 1: is Sports Grade. Get all the grid. So our president
Speaker 1: has declared Namter situation a national emergency. And then so
Speaker 1: it's two big, two very big words. Is that not again?
Speaker 1: Is that? Is that true? That's what he said? Are
Speaker 1: they big words? Are two very big words, very big words.
Speaker 1: All right, I've got I've been We're in a national emergency.
Speaker 1: That's all. I've got. Two very big words. Probably my
Speaker 1: fantasy team is two very very big word. No, just
Speaker 1: name your team national emergency, Greg, I don't want to
Speaker 1: do that. That's like joking. Two very big words like
Speaker 1: very very funny to me. Sure, yeah, oh man, all right,
Speaker 1: I asked you going to break about Showyotani, who was
Speaker 1: supposed to be back in mid May Tommy John surgery.
Speaker 1: She's supposed to start in early May. Frank, are you
Speaker 1: interested in Shoot? Yeah, I'm much more interested now Inhoyotani
Speaker 1: be because before I didn't want to kind of just
Speaker 1: hold on to a utility only player, and then you
Speaker 1: didn't really know what you were going to get out
Speaker 1: of him, how much volume, how many endings you were
Speaker 1: going to go get out of Otani this upcoming season.
Speaker 1: And I guess we still don't really know, but ultimately,
Speaker 1: look like if we're depending on how late we get started,
Speaker 1: Otani might be in the rotation right away to start
Speaker 1: the season. It's possible we were expecting potentially two months
Speaker 1: a month and a half to two months of Otani
Speaker 1: just being a hitter, just being a designated hitter for
Speaker 1: the for the Angels, and you know, not being a
Speaker 1: pitcher at all. So obviously Greg, when he's on the mound,
Speaker 1: he is on a per start basis. Otani is, I
Speaker 1: would say, confidently a top twenty starting pitcher. Greg on
Speaker 1: a per start basis. So even though he's coming back
Speaker 1: from Tommy John here, you're not, like, I mean, he's
Speaker 1: not necessarily be the guy that we saw two years ago.
Speaker 1: It makes me a little bit nervous. Or maybe he
Speaker 1: was a top twenty starting pitcher. Well let's go top
Speaker 1: thirty to be conservative here, but what we saw out
Speaker 1: of him was top twenty starting pitcher stuff, and that's
Speaker 1: what I'm thinking. Sure that you know, he can be
Speaker 1: well over a strikeouper, and he struggled a little bit
Speaker 1: with command when he first came over as a starting
Speaker 1: pitcher here, but does have some filthy stuff there was
Speaker 1: like the mid to upper nineties. Is a nasty splitter
Speaker 1: as well. Yeah, Like I'm more interested now in Otani
Speaker 1: than I was before because he could be in the
Speaker 1: rotation from the get go, and everybody knows the Angels
Speaker 1: need it, man, the Angels need help in that rotation.
Speaker 1: So the only reason that they were having him start
Speaker 1: in mid May was so that they can have him
Speaker 1: for later in the scene for the post, for the
Speaker 1: for the post, for a postseason push. We'll let me
Speaker 1: ask you this, Frank, you're a big how many is
Speaker 1: gonna pitch guy? Specifically about my guy as us Lizardo. Well,
Speaker 1: if you take out a month of the season, Hazel's
Speaker 1: Lazardo may pitch every five days for the entire season.
Speaker 1: Are you moving off Haze's Lazardo when you're ranking Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think it's fair. I think it's fair to do that,
Speaker 1: and I think that you can do that for a
Speaker 1: lot of these starting pitchers that we say that about.
Speaker 1: You know, Julio Urias of the Los Angeles Dodgers. I
Speaker 1: think you know, most people kind of had him projected
Speaker 1: for like one thirty innings, even a you know, don
Speaker 1: Nelson Lament. I don't know many people had him for
Speaker 1: projected more than dred and fifty innings. So yeah, look,
Speaker 1: if everyone's on the same playing field, Greg, Like if
Speaker 1: you told me that Jesus Lozardo had as good of
Speaker 1: a chance to pitch every fifth day as every other
Speaker 1: starting pitcher this season, he's probably a top twenty five
Speaker 1: talent at starting pitcher, maybe even a top twenty starting pitchers.
Speaker 1: I agree, So I gotta move up. Yeah, But you see, Greg,
Speaker 1: I mean unless you you actually sit down and do
Speaker 1: this for every player that can have this effect for right,
Speaker 1: you know that that that means we're not ready to
Speaker 1: draft yet, because you literally have to go through your rankings.
Speaker 1: You're just gonna You're just gonna be smarter than everybody
Speaker 1: else because you're gonna do it. I feel you know what,
Speaker 1: I feel bad for Kinga because it's not what you're
Speaker 1: doing all weekend. Is it? We're done? He caused this creek.
Speaker 1: I know I did. I'll be ready for the draft,
Speaker 1: frank at this point, and I've kind of feel like
Speaker 1: I should just give you just hand over all duties
Speaker 1: of the team. No no, no, no no no no,
Speaker 1: there will be a team. Well not so then I
Speaker 1: could go back to hanging out with my fiance and
Speaker 1: you could just do the auction yourself. No, I don't
Speaker 1: want to do that because, like we have different opinions
Speaker 1: on things. Obviously that's okay. But I feel like I'm
Speaker 1: bringing good points, like the old head to head points players,
Speaker 1: very similar to to your home leak. I feel like
Speaker 1: I'm bringing up points you can draft cabin Bisihoa talk
Speaker 1: about in the show. Oh, I know it was great,
Speaker 1: wasn't it? It was great? All right? So Julio or
Speaker 1: Ryos Haze Lazaro, they both fit this category, Frankie. They're
Speaker 1: both two guys whose innings limits we may no longer
Speaker 1: have to worry about. Tyer last knows another one that
Speaker 1: things worth bringing up. It's less time for him be
Speaker 1: an injured. Yeah, that's fair. He was amazing last year,
Speaker 1: There's no doubt about it. And he was working on
Speaker 1: a third pitch throughout the spring and over eleven case
Speaker 1: for nine last year and finally kind of unlocked his
Speaker 1: potential with the tamp Bay Rays. Surprise, surprise, that is
Speaker 1: what the Tampa Bay Rays do. They took Charlie Morton,
Speaker 1: who was great for the past couple of seasons, and
Speaker 1: made him even better, and they completely fleeced the Pittsburgh's
Speaker 1: Pirates out of Tyler glass Now and Austin Meadows. Austin
Speaker 1: Meadows who looks like he might be a perennial a
Speaker 1: l m v P candidate moving forward, and now they
Speaker 1: have someone who pure talent Greg. It's probably you know,
Speaker 1: a top fifteen starting pitcher in baseball. So they just
Speaker 1: have to be able to keep him healthy. Like, I'm
Speaker 1: not gonna move up glass Now much, Greg, if at all,
Speaker 1: because while we might have worried about any's limits for him,
Speaker 1: I still think that there was a very high chance
Speaker 1: of re injury with someone like lass Now because he
Speaker 1: dealt with arm injuries last year, a forearm injury to
Speaker 1: his pitching arm. So with guys like that like Bike's
Speaker 1: now Glass now Paxton, while this should help them overall,
Speaker 1: they are still at a very high risk of re
Speaker 1: injury based on the injuries that they've dealt with. Greg
Speaker 1: the breakout starting pitcher for Jimsonnas, they're the Glass Now.
Speaker 1: It's hard to argue that it's you literally have to
Speaker 1: look at this and and this is the point that
Speaker 1: I was making you downstairs about Kyle Tucker. Greg and
Speaker 1: I don't have that. That's the crazy part, Greg, is
Speaker 1: you've almost kind of painted that image. I don't have
Speaker 1: any shares of him yet. I think he's a great talent.
Speaker 1: But it's very similar from a pitching and hitting perspective.
Speaker 1: You can find values that have question marks in whether
Speaker 1: whether it's their playing time or injury concern, but you
Speaker 1: get them at a discount because of that reason, and
Speaker 1: they are they're still amazing talents like Kyle Tucker to
Speaker 1: meet Greg and I tweeted this out earlier, and I
Speaker 1: was very surprised by by the poll. I think that
Speaker 1: he can have as much upsider even more than Louise Robert.
Speaker 1: The only reason why he gets drafted six seven rounds
Speaker 1: later is because you don't know if he's gonna play
Speaker 1: every day. But if you're just drafting someone on based
Speaker 1: off pure talent, Kyle Tucker has posted almost as good
Speaker 1: numbers as Louise Robert and the minors, maybe even better
Speaker 1: than him. And I think you could say something similar
Speaker 1: to Tyler Glass. Now you get him at a discount.
Speaker 1: He calls of the injury concerned, but when he is
Speaker 1: on the mound, he is one of the top fifteen,
Speaker 1: maybe top twelve starting pitchers in baseball, or at least
Speaker 1: he was last he was for that for for that
Speaker 1: first half when he was pitching, it was awesome. He
Speaker 1: was really really good. It was really really good. And
Speaker 1: they remember like sitting across from you on the day
Speaker 1: after you got hurt and you're just you're slumly just
Speaker 1: dropped like now it's Glass now right, And he knew
Speaker 1: it would be a significant injury, which is frustrating. And
Speaker 1: regards to Kyle Tucker, going back to going back to that, Frankie,
Speaker 1: I feel that we've waited and waited. There's always prospect
Speaker 1: for tea from me to you for three years to
Speaker 1: me waiting for it on Ryan mount Castle yet Greg
Speaker 1: because I feel like I brought him up every day
Speaker 1: last year, and Austin Hayes, the two of them, but
Speaker 1: with Glad with the last note, with Kyle Tucker, it's
Speaker 1: crazy that when I looked at like his fan grass page,
Speaker 1: for instance, earlier today, I've been preparing for the show
Speaker 1: twenty three years old, I could I thought there, dude
Speaker 1: was twenty six. By how much you and I have
Speaker 1: talked about him, I thought, all right, big bruising power hitter.
Speaker 1: Any realized he saw thirty bases in the minors last year.
Speaker 1: He has the ability to potentially do everything goes right
Speaker 1: in a long season thirty. That's the kind of guy
Speaker 1: that you're getting with Kyle Tucker. Of all, who's right,
Speaker 1: Louis Robert could be similar, but you compare the numbers.
Speaker 1: As you mentioned, I think he's better. He is, and
Speaker 1: maybe he has to do it like the PCL's possible
Speaker 1: because I think they play the PCL. I don't know
Speaker 1: that the White Sox do. I originally voted no brainer
Speaker 1: Louise Robert, and now I'm like, maybe I spoke too quickly.
Speaker 1: He's coming around. I'm coming around more on that than
Speaker 1: not be not allowed to draft this weekend. We're on Thursday.
Speaker 1: Look if I can, if I can talk you into
Speaker 1: one thing at a time here, Greg, I don't disagree
Speaker 1: with that. I think it's I'm gonna move on. Yeah.
Speaker 1: The White Sox do not play in the PCL. They
Speaker 1: play in the I believe it's the International League. Yeah,
Speaker 1: where's Kylecker on this list? So Kyle Tucker to me is, look,
Speaker 1: if you're trying to find that player that you have
Speaker 1: concerns about playing time, about that he gets off to
Speaker 1: a hot start, Greg, and gets into the lineup every
Speaker 1: single day for from like after the first month on
Speaker 1: r He's someone who can be like a top three
Speaker 1: round pick next year. Like to me, he's this, here's
Speaker 1: Austin Meadows. Do you realize who's also gonna be healthy?
Speaker 1: Speaking a Batholders that can put up Oscar Americando Mercado,
Speaker 1: who's baddling a risk injury. We hadn't heard much on
Speaker 1: him as al as he didn't break the rist and
Speaker 1: there's no reason to believe that he didnt healthy. Now,
Speaker 1: there are a lot of players like this, I mean
Speaker 1: the Yankees in general. Judge Stanton I mean, those guys
Speaker 1: can never stay healthy no matter what stand in particular though,
Speaker 1: right you know, he was already already already taken swings,
Speaker 1: he was already he's running, he's running on the trend.
Speaker 1: And he had a line drive off of that. He wasn't.
Speaker 1: He had a whole run off road, but he didn't.
Speaker 1: Britain got hit with a line drive. Um, but Stanton,
Speaker 1: soone just put all the Yankees in a bubble right now.
Speaker 1: You give a Stanton a month, you're not gonna want
Speaker 1: to hear this. But like, he's back, man, and he's
Speaker 1: back to being a bus for me too. Greg, he
Speaker 1: couldn't know because you know why he's gonna go back
Speaker 1: up to the fourth round. It is exactly what's gonna happen. Absolutely.
Speaker 1: The reason why I said, just a couple of days
Speaker 1: ago I was more likely to draft Stanton than Judge
Speaker 1: is because he was still going later than Judge, and
Speaker 1: I thought he was gonna be back sooner. I think
Speaker 1: that you're on Alvarez. He's gonna get healthy now at
Speaker 1: those knees good points. There's a lot of names. They're
Speaker 1: Willie Calhoun, Broken Jaw, Puortric Solac, He're talking about that
Speaker 1: don't have sta right is gonna start every day and
Speaker 1: left field, that Willie Calhoun is a good shot is back.
Speaker 1: Still think there's a chance Thick so I can wind
Speaker 1: a third base. And they moved Todd Fraser to first
Speaker 1: because Ronald Guzman and Greg Bird were doing nothing in
Speaker 1: spring training. They were not they're not. Um thirty seconds
Speaker 1: left next week and we're gonna have an NFL free
Speaker 1: agency to talk. If that still happens, we'll have some
Speaker 1: NFL draft talk as well. But next week we're all
Speaker 1: going into the players that we're not affecting injury wise,
Speaker 1: but pushing the season back. Hello, Chris sal and potentially
Speaker 1: Aaron Judge as well. Let's talk about next week and
Speaker 1: we'll do it. I'll a safe weekend, my friend, good
Speaker 1: looking hour draft. We'll do it all on a Monday.
