All right, friends, 15 00:00:42,080 --> 00:00:46,720 Speaker 1: here are some players that have my spidy trade senses tingling. 16 00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:52,400 Speaker 1: Number one Atlanta Braves outfielder Michael Harris. It has not 17 00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:55,920 Speaker 1: been a great year for Michael Harris is batting average 18 00:00:56,080 --> 00:00:58,960 Speaker 1: just under two fifty and a WRC plus that puts 19 00:00:59,040 --> 00:01:03,240 Speaker 1: him below out average, but he's turning things around over 20 00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:06,360 Speaker 1: the last two weeks. He's got the fifth highest war 21 00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:09,640 Speaker 1: in baseball, a four forty batting average to go along 22 00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:13,760 Speaker 1: with four homers, two stolen bases, and a dramatic cut 23 00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:17,840 Speaker 1: in his strikeout percentage sitting just around eleven percent as 24 00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:20,800 Speaker 1: I'm recording this video. On the year, his strikeout rate's 25 00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:24,160 Speaker 1: actually three percent lower than the previous year, and his 26 00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:28,200 Speaker 1: walk rate up two percent, though in general he just 27 00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:31,960 Speaker 1: doesn't really walk. His barrel percentage, hard hit percentage, and 28 00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:36,560 Speaker 1: average exit velocity are all up, which we like to see, 29 00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:40,760 Speaker 1: and most of his expected stats like average slugging expected 30 00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:43,520 Speaker 1: average expected slugging expected wOBA, they're heading in the right 31 00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:47,360 Speaker 1: direction up. There could be some valleys along his path 32 00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:50,680 Speaker 1: to production overall, but I think even though his recent 33 00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:53,960 Speaker 1: spurt has raised his price a little bit, knowing that 34 00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:58,000 Speaker 1: it's still there and getting the confirmation is worth the 35 00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:00,720 Speaker 1: added cost it's going to take you. When buying on 36 00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:03,200 Speaker 1: the outfielder, you might be able to swap out maybe 37 00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:07,000 Speaker 1: some expendable pitching to get a speedy outfielder that can 38 00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:09,760 Speaker 1: do some damage along the way. Michael Harris is one 39 00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:12,800 Speaker 1: of those pickups I am trying to get in any 40 00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:15,440 Speaker 1: trade right now. Next up, we're going to the pitching 41 00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:19,639 Speaker 1: market to the Philadelphia Phillies with Aaron Nola. Now, this 42 00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:22,200 Speaker 1: one might be a little bit more far fetched. As 43 00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:25,119 Speaker 1: a matter of fact, Zach Wheeler has actually been even 44 00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:27,280 Speaker 1: better and might be someone you want to consider as well. 45 00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:29,400 Speaker 1: But getting back to how far fetched this might be, 46 00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:33,919 Speaker 1: especially with a couple of the most recent performances, Nola, though, 47 00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:36,359 Speaker 1: jumps out in a few spots to me his k 48 00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:39,720 Speaker 1: per nine way up over the last month. His year 49 00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:42,960 Speaker 1: total is actually under nine strikeouts per nine, which is 50 00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:46,040 Speaker 1: the second lowest of his career, but over the last 51 00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:49,840 Speaker 1: thirty days that's sitting out around eleven and a half 52 00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:52,920 Speaker 1: strikeouts per nine, which would be the second highest of 53 00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:55,640 Speaker 1: his career if he were doing it over a full season. 54 00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:59,080 Speaker 1: His walk rate pretty solid, and even though he's got 55 00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:01,600 Speaker 1: a four to six six ERA over the last month, 56 00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:05,080 Speaker 1: he's got a three two two x FIP and a 57 00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:09,520 Speaker 1: three two four SIERRA, which was the seventh best among 58 00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:12,520 Speaker 1: starting pitchers during that period of time. His fastball and 59 00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:14,679 Speaker 1: sinker those have kind of been the big struggles. They've 60 00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:16,840 Speaker 1: been sitting in the zone too much and he's getting hit, 61 00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:20,680 Speaker 1: which has made him rely on throwing his curveball this 62 00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:22,600 Speaker 1: year as his top pitch. But this also kind of 63 00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:25,120 Speaker 1: shows us it's a ground ball rate which is at 64 00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:28,480 Speaker 1: the lowest of his career, probably do a lot to 65 00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:31,840 Speaker 1: him not having effectiveness with the sinker. This has also 66 00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:35,800 Speaker 1: led to a crazy low left on base percentage of 67 00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:38,720 Speaker 1: just around sixty two percent. I gotta tell you that's 68 00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:40,520 Speaker 1: not really a sustainable one. I don't want to call 69 00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:43,480 Speaker 1: it like necessarily luck, but it's just not something that's 70 00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:45,400 Speaker 1: going to continue through the rest of the year. In fact, 71 00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:48,120 Speaker 1: seventy percent in that area, seventy to seventy five is 72 00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:50,960 Speaker 1: like the good league average, even maybe below. So guys 73 00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:53,720 Speaker 1: that are in the ninety percentile left on base percentage 74 00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:57,440 Speaker 1: that's not really sustainable. Guys that are in the sixty also, 75 00:03:57,600 --> 00:03:59,720 Speaker 1: that's going to get better. So there's a lot of 76 00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:02,320 Speaker 1: for us stration around Aaronola and the buy might not 77 00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:05,880 Speaker 1: actually work, but I've got a feeling he could be 78 00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:09,080 Speaker 1: had at a decently cheap price, and that's a risk 79 00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:11,160 Speaker 1: I want to take. Now, the next big name we're 80 00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:16,600 Speaker 1: going to talk about is Tampa Bay Ray's outfielder Randy A. Rosarina. Now, 81 00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:19,880 Speaker 1: this seems like a great time to buy on the 82 00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:24,080 Speaker 1: flashy toolsy outfielder a Rose Raina started hot on the year, 83 00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:27,520 Speaker 1: but his recent run should have his price quite a 84 00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:29,960 Speaker 1: bit cheaper. Randy over the last thirty days is hitting 85 00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:33,720 Speaker 1: only two forty with three homers five stolen bases. Now, 86 00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:37,560 Speaker 1: for perspective, He's got thirteen homers on the year nine 87 00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:41,000 Speaker 1: stolen bases, so this month the stolen bases have been 88 00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:45,840 Speaker 1: up homers down. Randy, though still top ten percentile or 89 00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:48,920 Speaker 1: right in that vicinity. As far as hard hit percentage, 90 00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:53,520 Speaker 1: barrel percentage, and expected WHOBA is on a positive trend. 91 00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:57,560 Speaker 1: After falling under the MLB average at the start of June, 92 00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:00,440 Speaker 1: it has now reached the levels that he had back 93 00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:02,960 Speaker 1: in May when he was hitting well over three hundred. 94 00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:06,680 Speaker 1: During his month long struggle, we've seen his walk percentage 95 00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:10,559 Speaker 1: actually raise up to eighteen percent of the time, which 96 00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:14,280 Speaker 1: helps whenever a player is going through it. If you 97 00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:17,839 Speaker 1: know what I mean. The offense overall supports Randy's floor, 98 00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:21,800 Speaker 1: and pending your league, he actually might be exceptionally affordable 99 00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:24,960 Speaker 1: to someone who doesn't believe he belongs in the upper 100 00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:29,120 Speaker 1: tier of outfielders. Those are my big three, but I've 101 00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:31,919 Speaker 1: got a couple other names, maybe some deeper names. To 102 00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:35,720 Speaker 1: look at getting thrown in some trades. One of those 103 00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:40,039 Speaker 1: is Marlin starting pitcher Braxton Garrett. I know it's crazy. Well, 104 00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:43,039 Speaker 1: over the last thirty days he has the seventh best 105 00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:45,800 Speaker 1: war of any pitcher in baseball, the second best K 106 00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:50,800 Speaker 1: minus walk percentage in baseball, and the best sierra at 107 00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:55,160 Speaker 1: two seven one. Maybe he's on the wire or is 108 00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:57,839 Speaker 1: just someone that you can get thrown in a trade. 109 00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:00,600 Speaker 1: I think it's worthwhile because I'd also tell you not 110 00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:02,520 Speaker 1: quite one of the guys that's gonna get you a 111 00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:05,240 Speaker 1: big haul back. So if you had him, I hold. 112 00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:07,839 Speaker 1: If you don't, I see if I can get the 113 00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:13,159 Speaker 1: other one. Colorado Rockies third baseman Ryan McMahon, who has 114 00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:16,600 Speaker 1: an average EVY of ninety three miles per hour over 115 00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:20,040 Speaker 1: the last month, to go along with an over fifty 116 00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:23,719 Speaker 1: percent hard hit rate and a top twenty barrel percentage 117 00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:26,800 Speaker 1: of all hitters. In that same period of time, he's 118 00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:30,520 Speaker 1: got eight home runs and under a twenty percent k rate. 119 00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:35,160 Speaker 1: Colorado All tides rise with Colorado hitting right. Well, he's 120 00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:37,520 Speaker 1: hitting the ball really hard. Again, another one of those 121 00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:40,200 Speaker 1: guys people could see and say, hey, this performance is 122 00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:42,160 Speaker 1: more of a cell. I think it's a by because 123 00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:44,080 Speaker 1: the name is still not up there. Deeper lenks, get 124 00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:46,120 Speaker 1: him thrown in a trade. Get yourself from Ryan McMahon, 125 00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:49,279 Speaker 1: get yourself some practice and Garrett definitely get yourself some 126 00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:51,880 Speaker 1: of those top guys. Those are the names Michael Harris, 127 00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:55,600 Speaker 1: Aaron Nola, Randy Rose Arena. Which one are you likely 128 00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:59,680 Speaker 1: to be more aggressive in acquiring in a trade? None? Well, 129 00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:03,040 Speaker 1: if not, drop your options below.
