1
00:00:09,039 --> 00:00:11,920
Speaker 1: And how did it every about it? Hello, Hello, welcome

2
00:00:11,960 --> 00:00:14,600
Speaker 1: to another episode of Monster Territory, brought to you by

3
00:00:14,600 --> 00:00:17,640
Speaker 1: the Foul Territory Network. Hope you all had a great

4
00:00:17,840 --> 00:00:21,640
Speaker 1: weekend and we're about to have a very fun start

5
00:00:21,720 --> 00:00:25,680
Speaker 1: to the week. It is Opening Day week, ladies and gentlemen.

6
00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:29,960
Speaker 1: I am very excited for it. This is, honestly, it's

7
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:32,760
Speaker 1: one of my favorite times of the year. Obviously, I'm

8
00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:35,839
Speaker 1: a big Christmas guy. I love me some Thanksgiving, you know,

9
00:00:35,840 --> 00:00:38,400
Speaker 1: I love all the holidays and whatnot. But Opening Day

10
00:00:38,479 --> 00:00:41,640
Speaker 1: for me is like a holiday. There's just a different

11
00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:45,960
Speaker 1: feeling in the air that Opening Day morning. It's always great.

12
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:48,360
Speaker 1: You wake up and you're just excited for a full

13
00:00:48,400 --> 00:00:51,240
Speaker 1: slate of games on and of course the Red Sox playing.

14
00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:54,120
Speaker 1: They've been playing the Rangers on Opening Day, but they

15
00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:55,960
Speaker 1: have a little bit of business to take care of

16
00:00:56,120 --> 00:00:59,120
Speaker 1: before then. They're going to Mexico. They're doing a series

17
00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:02,279
Speaker 1: there and that should be pretty fun. But we got

18
00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:06,400
Speaker 1: some pretty fun news here just a little earlier, if

19
00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:09,080
Speaker 1: you are listening to this in the morning. Last night,

20
00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:13,440
Speaker 1: we got some news Christian Campbell. It looks like we'll

21
00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:16,360
Speaker 1: be making the opening day roster going to be the

22
00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:19,440
Speaker 1: second basement for the Red Sox on opening day. I'm

23
00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:22,199
Speaker 1: gonna give you my thoughts on that. In this episode,

24
00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:24,760
Speaker 1: we're gonna be talking about the fifth starter for the

25
00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:29,600
Speaker 1: Red Sox, a pretty surprising name, you know, a name

26
00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:33,160
Speaker 1: that we weren't really thinking about going in to spring training.

27
00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:35,680
Speaker 1: We'll talk about that as well some other little roster

28
00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:37,880
Speaker 1: moves as well. You know, we had some cuts over

29
00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:40,080
Speaker 1: the weekend of the Red Sox. They still have a

30
00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:42,400
Speaker 1: lot of cuts to make, you know. When it comes

31
00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:45,440
Speaker 1: to the forty man roster that's not fully announced yet.

32
00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:49,360
Speaker 1: We should be hearing something by tomorrow, I would imagine.

33
00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:51,640
Speaker 1: But we'll go through that, and I'm gonna give you

34
00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:55,120
Speaker 1: my predictions for the Red Sox this year. I'm gonna

35
00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:58,520
Speaker 1: go through five and some of them I think are

36
00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:03,400
Speaker 1: pretty juicy. I'm gonna shrine stay realistic with them. When

37
00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:06,000
Speaker 1: it comes to any kind of predictions, they're usually wrong

38
00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:08,840
Speaker 1: for the most part. But I think I'll you know,

39
00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:10,919
Speaker 1: I think maybe I'll hit on a couple of these.

40
00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:13,720
Speaker 1: I'm feeling pretty good about him. But before I do,

41

80
00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:10,040
Speaker 1: We got Christian Campbell, according to Ari Alexander, he says

81
00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:13,760
Speaker 1: here on Twitter, Christian Campbell has been informed he's made

82
00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:17,599
Speaker 1: the Red Sox Opening day roster. I mean, that's just

83
00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:21,080
Speaker 1: a cool moment, man. You know, we all know how

84
00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:23,240
Speaker 1: it's been for the last few years. You know, not

85
00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:25,400
Speaker 1: a whole lot of winning. We had twenty twenty one,

86
00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:27,880
Speaker 1: you know, you had I call it the last gasp

87
00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:30,520
Speaker 1: of the twenty eighteen Red Sox. You know, he still

88
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:32,719
Speaker 1: had a you know, a few players from that team,

89
00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:35,280
Speaker 1: you know, ended up being just a pretty solid team

90
00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:37,680
Speaker 1: all the way around. They made a good run in

91
00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:40,839
Speaker 1: the postseason against the Astros. But you know, since then,

92
00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:42,839
Speaker 1: not really a whole lot of good things, you know

93
00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:46,080
Speaker 1: what I mean. He had Trevor story after that, you know,

94
00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:48,960
Speaker 1: a couple of little, you know, fun moments, right, but

95
00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:53,040
Speaker 1: never really anything when it came to actual winning. So

96
00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:55,880
Speaker 1: to see something like this, you know, but getting back

97
00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:59,000
Speaker 1: to the last few years, we've had the one thing

98
00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:01,040
Speaker 1: that we could latch on to, even though they weren't

99
00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:03,159
Speaker 1: you know, really winning all that much at the major

100
00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:06,640
Speaker 1: league level. Were these prospects coming up, you know, the

101
00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:10,839
Speaker 1: Big three. You know, at one point Kyle Teel was involved,

102
00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:15,120
Speaker 1: and obviously he was moving Garret Crochet. But when it

103
00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:18,320
Speaker 1: comes to the big three that is remaining, we got

104
00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:20,039
Speaker 1: one of them making the opening day roster. You know,

105
00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:22,000
Speaker 1: we've been hearing a lot of things about Christian Campbell

106
00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:26,000
Speaker 1: over the last couple of years. Last year, especially the

107
00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:29,520
Speaker 1: numbers of this guy put up last year was absolutely incredible.

108
00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:31,560
Speaker 1: I mean he was just tearing it up in the

109
00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:33,200
Speaker 1: minor leagues. I mean, if we were to go take

110
00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:36,680
Speaker 1: a look at those numbers in the minor leagues, I mean,

111
00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:40,159
Speaker 1: the guy was just off the charts, hitting three thirty A,

112
00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:42,360
Speaker 1: four to thirty nine on base A, five p fifty eight,

113
00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:45,200
Speaker 1: slugging in nine ninety seven ops. Overall, he had a

114
00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:47,480
Speaker 1: twenty twenty season. He had twenty home runs, twenty four

115
00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:51,600
Speaker 1: stolen bases. You know, this is a guy. He just

116
00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:55,400
Speaker 1: showed all he could at every level in the minor leagues.

117
00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:58,719
Speaker 1: Everywhere he went, he dominated, right, he was adjusting to

118
00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:01,039
Speaker 1: the good pitching that he was seeing as he went

119
00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:04,040
Speaker 1: further and further through the minor league system. To me,

120
00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:06,280
Speaker 1: I mean, sure, there's gonna be a lot of people

121
00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:09,600
Speaker 1: that will say, no, you know, you're rushing him. You

122
00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:12,480
Speaker 1: need to put him, start him at the minor league level,

123
00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:15,120
Speaker 1: you know, extriple a to start off the year. You know,

124
00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:17,480
Speaker 1: don't rush the guy. There's no need. But to me,

125
00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:22,720
Speaker 1: the way I look at it is to me, if

126
00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:26,720
Speaker 1: he has proven everything he has that there is to

127
00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:29,400
Speaker 1: prove at the minor league level. You know, sure, maybe

128
00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:32,479
Speaker 1: you would like a bigger sample size, extra pla. But

129
00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:35,240
Speaker 1: I mean when you when you look at it, right,

130
00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:38,839
Speaker 1: you know, nineteen games at Triple A. I mean the

131
00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:41,040
Speaker 1: guy had a four to twelve on base, he had

132
00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:44,359
Speaker 1: four home runs. I mean, you know, a four eighty

133
00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:47,520
Speaker 1: six on the slugging at Triple A. It's like what else? Really,

134
00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:50,320
Speaker 1: you know, sure, could he start there? Maybe you go

135
00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:53,560
Speaker 1: there for you know, twenty or so games. Sure, but

136
00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:56,680
Speaker 1: you've seen everything, right, It's not just about the stat line.

137
00:06:56,680 --> 00:06:59,160
Speaker 1: It's about how he's approaching the at bats. It's about

138
00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:02,279
Speaker 1: the quality of contact, what's the bat speed looking like?

139
00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:04,279
Speaker 1: You know, things that they were looking at this spring,

140
00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:07,400
Speaker 1: but they already saw these things. They're obviously very high

141
00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:11,760
Speaker 1: on Christian Campbell because of what we have seen so far,

142
00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:13,720
Speaker 1: not just on the surface level when it came to

143
00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:16,240
Speaker 1: the stats, but the underlying metrics as well. The Red

144
00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:18,840
Speaker 1: Sox are very heavy on the analytics, and we've been

145
00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:22,040
Speaker 1: hearing about Christian Campbell all spring. You know, we've been

146
00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:24,400
Speaker 1: hearing this possibility for a little while now, you know,

147
00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:26,840
Speaker 1: going into the late offseason, you know you were hearing,

148
00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:29,400
Speaker 1: you know, from the Beat reporters for the Red Sox.

149
00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:33,120
Speaker 1: That Christian Campbell, you know, was someone that they were

150
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:35,560
Speaker 1: looking at internally, and yeah, he got off to a

151
00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:38,960
Speaker 1: pretty bad start this spring, but that's okay, right, it's

152
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:42,160
Speaker 1: how you finish that, I thing matters. And when you

153
00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:44,680
Speaker 1: look at what he has been able to do over

154
00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:47,240
Speaker 1: the last several games now getting on base, you know,

155
00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:49,280
Speaker 1: in the last six games, you know, he's had a

156
00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:52,360
Speaker 1: home run, a double along the way, he's you know, yeah,

157
00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:54,080
Speaker 1: he had a few games there in the beginning of

158
00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:58,240
Speaker 1: the spring where yeah, he was looking like, okay, maybe

159
00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:00,160
Speaker 1: triple A to start off the year might not be

160
00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:02,640
Speaker 1: a bad idea. But you saw him getting a bit

161
00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:05,640
Speaker 1: more comfortable, right. You started seeing him, you know, get

162
00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:09,040
Speaker 1: some quality contact, you know, working the at bats, you know,

163
00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:12,720
Speaker 1: working the walks a little bit. And sure, the overall

164
00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:15,520
Speaker 1: slash line it doesn't look great. You know, one's sixty

165
00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:20,080
Speaker 1: seven a five seventy six, ops, I get that, But

166
00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:24,000
Speaker 1: it's really about, you know, can this guy be a

167
00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:27,840
Speaker 1: quality contributor at the major league level to start off

168
00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:29,440
Speaker 1: the year? You know? And yeah, could you go with

169
00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:32,120
Speaker 1: someone like David Hamilton? I mean, yeah, I think you could.

170
00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:35,000
Speaker 1: But you know, if you're looking to add, you know,

171
00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:37,880
Speaker 1: that right handed bat to the lineup, you know, to

172
00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:39,800
Speaker 1: give you a little bit more at the bottom of

173
00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:43,280
Speaker 1: the order there. I think with Campbell there's there's more

174
00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:45,199
Speaker 1: of a ceiling there. And I think if you can

175
00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:49,839
Speaker 1: start him at the major league level, I think it's

176
00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:54,440
Speaker 1: a good opportunity for him developmentally. Right again, like I said,

177
00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:57,120
Speaker 1: what else can you do at the minor leagues? You know,

178
00:08:57,160 --> 00:08:59,000
Speaker 1: what else do you need to see? Put him at

179
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:01,960
Speaker 1: the major league level. You know, when you think about it,

180
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:04,520
Speaker 1: that's development in itself. I mean, yeah, could he go

181
00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:07,959
Speaker 1: to the minor leagues, sure, get more development time, Sure,

182
00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:13,320
Speaker 1: but in my opinion, getting those at bats, getting that experience,

183
00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:18,880
Speaker 1: getting that exposure to quality major league pitching, that's development

184
00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:22,280
Speaker 1: in itself. Let's say he comes up or or you know,

185
00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:24,440
Speaker 1: he starts off the year obviously, you know, at second

186
00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:26,280
Speaker 1: base with the Red Sox. He goes up against the

187
00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:30,520
Speaker 1: Valdi opening day. You know, however, the Rangers' rotation shakes out.

188
00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:33,840
Speaker 1: You know, maybe Grohm, you know, pitches one of those games,

189
00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:36,200
Speaker 1: whatever it may be, even if he ends up going

190
00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:39,960
Speaker 1: oh for you know, in the whatever first five games,

191
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:42,000
Speaker 1: you know, gets off to the start like Dustin Madroy

192
00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:46,080
Speaker 1: had back in two thousand and seven. I mean, is

193
00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:48,680
Speaker 1: that to me? I don't think that's really the worst

194
00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:51,280
Speaker 1: thing at all, you know, because he is seeing this

195
00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:54,400
Speaker 1: kind of pitching, he's seeing this level, he's getting a

196
00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:56,160
Speaker 1: taste of it. So let's say he gets off to

197
00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:58,719
Speaker 1: a bad start and maybe, who knows, maybe even goes

198
00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:01,679
Speaker 1: back down to the minor leagu's. At one point, you know,

199
00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:04,400
Speaker 1: I saw a couple of people saying, oh no, this

200
00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:07,240
Speaker 1: is gonna if he gets off to a bad start,

201
00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:11,320
Speaker 1: this is gonna wreck his confidence. I don't see Christian Campbell.

202
00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:16,760
Speaker 1: I think he's quietly confident, if that makes sense. You know,

203
00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:19,840
Speaker 1: you don't have to be loud and and and you

204
00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:23,640
Speaker 1: know you don't have to be loud to show you're confident.

205
00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:26,400
Speaker 1: This is a guy that believes in his game. He's

206
00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:28,840
Speaker 1: always been a pretty humble guy, you know when you

207
00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:31,440
Speaker 1: watch sho he interviews and whatnot. But there's kind of

208
00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:35,120
Speaker 1: like that stoism around him as well. I think he, uh,

209
00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:37,160
Speaker 1: this is a guy that he's not gonna get affected

210
00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:40,160
Speaker 1: by it. But again, let's say gets off to the

211
00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:42,400
Speaker 1: bad start. I don't again, I don't think that's gonna

212
00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:44,600
Speaker 1: be the worst thing because in the end you're gonna

213
00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:47,840
Speaker 1: be seeing guys like Nathan e. Valdi and Uh, to me,

214
00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:50,640
Speaker 1: that's development in itself. And hey, if he gets off

215
00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:52,760
Speaker 1: to a great start, I mean I think he's gonna

216
00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:55,480
Speaker 1: be okay in the end, then hey, that's even better.

217
00:10:55,520 --> 00:10:57,280
Speaker 1: But I think this is gonna be a good thing

218
00:10:57,360 --> 00:11:00,680
Speaker 1: for him. I think this is the right move to make,

219
00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:06,280
Speaker 1: you know, especially when Vaughan Grissom wasn't really you know,

220
00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:08,920
Speaker 1: doing what he had to do to take the job right.

221
00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:10,880
Speaker 1: If he had a good spring, if this guy was

222
00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:13,920
Speaker 1: hitting great, then I think maybe we're having a different

223
00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:18,240
Speaker 1: conversation at this point. But he didn't get the job done.

224
00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:21,360
Speaker 1: You know, Vaughn definitely had an opportunity, Alex Cora. You

225
00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:24,000
Speaker 1: know when he spoke to me, you know, a couple

226
00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:26,000
Speaker 1: of months ago, you know, he said, Hey, I think

227
00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:29,600
Speaker 1: von Grissom deserves a mulligan. Right. They wanted to give

228
00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:31,680
Speaker 1: him every chance, and they did give him every chance.

229
00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:34,240
Speaker 1: He got a lot of that bats this spring. In

230
00:11:34,280 --> 00:11:37,360
Speaker 1: the end, he just didn't perform. And I say for him,

231
00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:39,280
Speaker 1: it's a good thing to go start the year triple a,

232
00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:41,400
Speaker 1: try and get into a bit of a rhythm. Alex Cora,

233
00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:44,240
Speaker 1: you know, he commented on this as well, say, and

234
00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:46,920
Speaker 1: I mentioned this too, he said he, you know, spoke

235
00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:49,920
Speaker 1: with Vaughn saying, hey, go take care of business down

236
00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:52,559
Speaker 1: to the minor leagues, and hey, if you get an opportunity,

237
00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:55,640
Speaker 1: whether that's with us or I don't know the exact

238
00:11:55,760 --> 00:11:58,880
Speaker 1: quote I'm paraphrasing, but he basically said, you know, hey,

239
00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:01,680
Speaker 1: you can maybe have your show with us, maybe even

240
00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:06,720
Speaker 1: another team out there, right. He was mentioning, how hey, teams,

241
00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:08,920
Speaker 1: and you know there's other teams in the industry, right,

242
00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:10,800
Speaker 1: So if he gets off to a good start and

243
00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:12,960
Speaker 1: gets into a good rhythm, then maybe he could be

244
00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:15,839
Speaker 1: a trade piece of the Red Sox. But vond Grisam again,

245
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:19,960
Speaker 1: he didn't do nearly enough. And to me, I think

246
00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:22,040
Speaker 1: it just makes more sense when you have a high

247
00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:27,920
Speaker 1: ceiling guy like Campbell go with him over Von Gerrisam

248
00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:30,880
Speaker 1: and even David Hamilton, right, because if you go back

249
00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:33,000
Speaker 1: over the last couple of years, the one thing that

250
00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:37,120
Speaker 1: one thing the Red Sox have been focusing on is

251
00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:41,640
Speaker 1: challenging these young players. That is a big thing. If

252
00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:44,079
Speaker 1: you want to get better, you got to get uncomfortable.

253
00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:47,400
Speaker 1: You got to challenge yourself. That's just life, right, And

254
00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:49,840
Speaker 1: I think, to me, this is the best thing for

255
00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:53,480
Speaker 1: his development. And uh, I think he's gonna be a

256
00:12:53,520 --> 00:12:56,360
Speaker 1: guy that he accepts that challenge, and I think he's

257
00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:58,160
Speaker 1: gonna do a lot of good things. I'm very happy

258
00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:01,679
Speaker 1: about this move. I'm very happy for him, you know,

259
00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:05,560
Speaker 1: being twenty two years old, you know, very young, but

260
00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:08,720
Speaker 1: for to have this kind of an opportunity, What a

261
00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:11,600
Speaker 1: great moment for him, you know, for him and his family.

262
00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:15,400
Speaker 1: I think that's just so cool. You know, you're twenty

263
00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:17,960
Speaker 1: two years old and you're saying, hey, I just I

264
00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:21,000
Speaker 1: just made the Red Sox, Like, holy crap, that's insane.

265
00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:24,160
Speaker 1: I love this for him, but for the Red Sox,

266
00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:27,079
Speaker 1: I think. You know, but another thing too, why I

267
00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:30,360
Speaker 1: think there's a good chance he's gonna have success is

268
00:13:30,559 --> 00:13:31,959
Speaker 1: it's not like this guy is gonna be in the

269
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:34,000
Speaker 1: middle of the order. He's gonna bat towards the bottom

270
00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:36,400
Speaker 1: of the order. I would imagine he's gonna be somewhere,

271
00:13:36,679 --> 00:13:39,600
Speaker 1: you know, either sixth or seventh in the lineup. However

272
00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:42,560
Speaker 1: that shakes out, So you know, they're gonna be able

273
00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:44,880
Speaker 1: to kind of hide him a little bit down there.

274
00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:46,720
Speaker 1: There's not gonna be a lot of pressure on him.

275
00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:49,040
Speaker 1: He can kind of just do his thing. But again,

276
00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:52,400
Speaker 1: when it comes down to challenging these guys, I think

277
00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:55,959
Speaker 1: this is the right challenge at the right time, if

278
00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:59,320
Speaker 1: that makes sense. Now moving on here, we do have

279
00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:02,200
Speaker 1: some other news to talk about. We do have some

280
00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:06,600
Speaker 1: other news, and when it comes to the rotation, comes

281
00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:12,600
Speaker 1: to the rotation, we got a pretty surprising a candidate

282
00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:16,040
Speaker 1: emerging as the fifth starter. You know, we've been talking

283
00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:19,960
Speaker 1: about how the Red Sox pitching staff you got so

284
00:14:20,040 --> 00:14:22,040
Speaker 1: much depth here. You know, you've had some guys that

285
00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:25,320
Speaker 1: are a little behind, right, Brian Bao, look as Gielido

286
00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:28,400
Speaker 1: Cutter Crawford, Right, these guys, they're gonna take a little

287
00:14:28,440 --> 00:14:30,960
Speaker 1: longer to make their way back to the Red Sox.

288
00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:33,760
Speaker 1: So you've been looking at some candidates like Richard Fitz,

289
00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:36,440
Speaker 1: he has now officially been named for the rotation. Very

290
00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:40,480
Speaker 1: excited about mister Richard Fitz this coming year. But then

291
00:14:40,560 --> 00:14:42,320
Speaker 1: for the fifth spot, you've been looking at guys like

292
00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:47,960
Speaker 1: Quinn Priester, who they acquired for at the trade deadline.

293
00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:51,720
Speaker 1: For Nick York. You've been looking at maybe even Cooper Criswell,

294
00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:54,160
Speaker 1: a guy that showed some pretty good things with the

295
00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:57,040
Speaker 1: Red Sox last year as like a swingman kind of

296
00:14:57,040 --> 00:15:00,720
Speaker 1: a guy. Or there's been a guy that I came

297
00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:04,520
Speaker 1: to the Red Sox as a spring training invite Sean Newcomb.

298
00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:07,800
Speaker 1: Now when it comes to Seawan Newcomb, I mean, this

299
00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:10,200
Speaker 1: is a guy where you know, if you go back,

300
00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:13,520
Speaker 1: he was back to twenty fourteen. He was the fifteenth

301
00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:17,080
Speaker 1: pick in the twenty fourteen draft by the Angels. Right,

302
00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:23,000
Speaker 1: but in his career, you know, minus a couple of seasons,

303
00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:25,920
Speaker 1: hasn't really been able to do much. Right when you

304
00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:28,320
Speaker 1: go back to twenty eighteen with the Braves, did have

305
00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:31,240
Speaker 1: some pretty good numbers, right LRA under a four. The

306
00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:33,960
Speaker 1: FIP was just a little bit higher. Then later on

307
00:15:34,280 --> 00:15:36,400
Speaker 1: twenty nineteen, a year later, this is when he started

308
00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:39,440
Speaker 1: pitching more in relief and he was doing pretty well then.

309
00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:43,400
Speaker 1: But you know, along the way he's had injuries. You know,

310
00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:45,920
Speaker 1: he went to Oakland not too long ago. You know,

311
00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:48,720
Speaker 1: just he was doing oh, he had a very small

312
00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:50,920
Speaker 1: sample in twenty twenty three. I can't remember what the

313
00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:54,040
Speaker 1: injury was he had, you know, but you know, he

314
00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:57,800
Speaker 1: had some okay numbers at that time, but not really

315
00:15:57,840 --> 00:16:00,480
Speaker 1: a whole lot, you know, from a you would think

316
00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:02,520
Speaker 1: from a first round draft pick you would see a

317
00:16:02,520 --> 00:16:04,560
Speaker 1: little bit more over the years, but he just hasn't

318
00:16:04,560 --> 00:16:07,240
Speaker 1: really been able to fully find himself. But with the

319
00:16:07,280 --> 00:16:11,440
Speaker 1: Red Sox, this spring man, this guy has really figured

320
00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:14,400
Speaker 1: something out. My goodness, fourteen and a third innings e al

321
00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:16,640
Speaker 1: right at zero point six y three FIP at a

322
00:16:16,680 --> 00:16:20,360
Speaker 1: two point five eight. Now, if we were to go

323
00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:25,480
Speaker 1: here to sean newcom over on stackcast. If you're with

324
00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:28,920
Speaker 1: me live on YouTube, I appreciate you stopping by watching

325
00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:31,200
Speaker 1: the live show. But if we were to go to

326
00:16:31,560 --> 00:16:35,640
Speaker 1: the pitch repertoire, at least from last year, right, it's

327
00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:39,400
Speaker 1: a pretty small sample from last year, he led the

328
00:16:39,400 --> 00:16:41,840
Speaker 1: way with the fastball. He had a negative two run

329
00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:44,880
Speaker 1: value on it. Batters are hitting three eighty five against

330
00:16:44,920 --> 00:16:47,800
Speaker 1: it with a six ninety two slugging Again, small sample,

331
00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:51,040
Speaker 1: sixteen plate appearances. But this is a guy where if

332
00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:54,040
Speaker 1: you take a look here his sinker was looking pretty good.

333
00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:58,320
Speaker 1: Had a plus one run value on there. Again, small sample,

334
00:16:58,720 --> 00:17:00,560
Speaker 1: but this is a guy who has led with the

335
00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:04,560
Speaker 1: four seemer in his career, but he has shown some

336
00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:06,960
Speaker 1: pretty good his sinker. If you go back over the

337
00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:10,159
Speaker 1: last several years has been a pretty quality pich for

338
00:17:10,240 --> 00:17:12,560
Speaker 1: him for the most part. He started throwing it back

339
00:17:12,560 --> 00:17:15,240
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty one and he's had success with it,

340
00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:17,960
Speaker 1: but he wasn't really throwing it all that much. And

341
00:17:18,040 --> 00:17:21,240
Speaker 1: the Red Sox they saw this and they said, well, hey,

342
00:17:21,280 --> 00:17:23,680
Speaker 1: his for seemer is not really working out all that much.

343
00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:27,200
Speaker 1: Let's lead with the sinker instead, go with a different

344
00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:31,240
Speaker 1: game plan. And hey, at least right now this is

345
00:17:31,320 --> 00:17:35,760
Speaker 1: working out. And hey, you know what if this guy's

346
00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:39,760
Speaker 1: pitching well and you have an opportunity to go, you know,

347
00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:42,639
Speaker 1: to start Quinn Priester at the Triple A level, which

348
00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:45,639
Speaker 1: I think makes more sense. Right, there is still some

349
00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:51,080
Speaker 1: upside with Quinn Priester, another former high draft pick, you know,

350
00:17:51,119 --> 00:17:53,720
Speaker 1: acquired just recently by the Red Sox last year. I

351
00:17:53,760 --> 00:17:56,040
Speaker 1: say start the year at triple A. You know, a

352
00:17:56,040 --> 00:17:59,680
Speaker 1: guy like Quinn Priester, he's again upside, but he hasn't

353
00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:02,439
Speaker 1: been able to fully find his way with the Red Sox,

354
00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:06,199
Speaker 1: or at least last year. You know, he's pretty up

355
00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:09,080
Speaker 1: and down. But you know, with the Pirates, not really

356
00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:11,800
Speaker 1: able to find his way. I say start the year

357
00:18:11,800 --> 00:18:13,960
Speaker 1: at Triple A. You've got a fresh start to the

358
00:18:14,040 --> 00:18:18,320
Speaker 1: year with your new organization full time. I say that's

359
00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:21,000
Speaker 1: the best move for him to get some starts with

360
00:18:21,119 --> 00:18:24,399
Speaker 1: the WU socks, build yourself up, and then when an

361
00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:27,560
Speaker 1: opportunity comes up down the road, then you can maybe

362
00:18:27,560 --> 00:18:29,440
Speaker 1: take that. You know, you can go that avenue. But

363
00:18:29,480 --> 00:18:31,919
Speaker 1: I think right now, I think it makes sense to

364
00:18:31,920 --> 00:18:35,240
Speaker 1: go with someone like new Coming if he's having success

365
00:18:35,280 --> 00:18:38,880
Speaker 1: in spring so far and the numbers are looking very good.

366
00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:42,359
Speaker 1: You know, obviously the era looks good, but the strikeout

367
00:18:42,359 --> 00:18:45,680
Speaker 1: p nine it's fine. Eight strikeouts per nine under two

368
00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:48,600
Speaker 1: walks per nine. That's also something in his career he

369
00:18:48,680 --> 00:18:52,440
Speaker 1: has struggled with. So I'm guessing he made some kind

370
00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:55,080
Speaker 1: of a mechanical tweak along the way to kind of

371
00:18:55,119 --> 00:18:58,560
Speaker 1: help improve his command. But under two walks per nine

372
00:18:58,640 --> 00:19:02,280
Speaker 1: this spring over five Gamesames, Hey, you know what, ride

373
00:19:02,359 --> 00:19:04,480
Speaker 1: the hot hand right now, and you know what, and

374
00:19:04,480 --> 00:19:07,240
Speaker 1: if he ends up getting lit up over the next

375
00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:10,359
Speaker 1: month or whatever, and okay, you can just cut ties

376
00:19:10,520 --> 00:19:12,479
Speaker 1: or you know, if he wants to go back, if

377
00:19:12,520 --> 00:19:16,200
Speaker 1: he accepts the invitation back to you know, go back

378
00:19:16,240 --> 00:19:18,280
Speaker 1: down to the minor leagues or whatever ends up happening.

379
00:19:18,280 --> 00:19:20,760
Speaker 1: There then great. But I'd say, right now, if he's

380
00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:23,080
Speaker 1: pitching well and he's in a groove, then ride the

381
00:19:23,160 --> 00:19:26,199
Speaker 1: hot hand, you know, and that way Quinn Priester, he

382
00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:28,800
Speaker 1: can go get it. Just a good start, actra pla,

383
00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:31,520
Speaker 1: keep working on whatever he's working on. You know, I

384
00:19:31,600 --> 00:19:34,000
Speaker 1: was thinking, you know, Cooper Criswell could have been a

385
00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:35,920
Speaker 1: guy just because of what he did for the Red

386
00:19:35,920 --> 00:19:38,919
Speaker 1: Sox last year. He you know, even Chorus sort of

387
00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:41,280
Speaker 1: mentioned that a little to when he was talking about

388
00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:44,800
Speaker 1: the fifth starter. The way he didn't fully say, Sean,

389
00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:47,520
Speaker 1: Youwcomb is the fifth starter, but the way he kind

390
00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:49,560
Speaker 1: of warded it sort of seemed like they were leaning

391
00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:53,240
Speaker 1: heavily in that direction. But he didn't mention Cooper Criswell.

392
00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:57,320
Speaker 1: But I think with Coop that this was a guy

393
00:19:57,600 --> 00:19:59,960
Speaker 1: again last year he showed a lot of good things.

394
00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:02,280
Speaker 1: So I was thinking, all right, well, maybe you know,

395
00:20:02,320 --> 00:20:05,160
Speaker 1: he could be the guy right now. It's interesting when

396
00:20:05,160 --> 00:20:09,119
Speaker 1: it comes to the bullpen right now, that seems to

397
00:20:09,200 --> 00:20:13,040
Speaker 1: be kind of where you know, that's where the last

398
00:20:13,080 --> 00:20:16,119
Speaker 1: couple of spots are gonna get interesting, right uh So,

399
00:20:16,359 --> 00:20:19,160
Speaker 1: Chris Catillo, he did say out here are put out

400
00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:23,000
Speaker 1: here today on Twitter saying four spots for six pictures.

401
00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:28,080
Speaker 1: You got Newcome, Chriswell, Zach Kelly, Brendan Bernardino, Greg Weisert,

402
00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:31,240
Speaker 1: and Brian Mada. He did say later on that Mada

403
00:20:31,520 --> 00:20:33,440
Speaker 1: is going to be going to Triple A, so he's

404
00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:35,040
Speaker 1: going to be out of the picture. You know, Mada.

405
00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:38,280
Speaker 1: This is I really hope we see him, right, former

406
00:20:38,320 --> 00:20:41,280
Speaker 1: top pitching prospect for the Red Sox, guy with good velo,

407
00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:44,640
Speaker 1: good stuff. I really hope he finds his way this

408
00:20:44,760 --> 00:20:47,119
Speaker 1: year and I would love to see him contribute. That

409
00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:49,240
Speaker 1: was a name we were just you know, we're hearing

410
00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:51,720
Speaker 1: about for so long, and you know, you're you saw

411
00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:54,680
Speaker 1: a potential there, but he's just getting hurt constantly, ever

412
00:20:54,800 --> 00:20:57,240
Speaker 1: able to figure it out. But I hope we see

413
00:20:57,280 --> 00:21:00,479
Speaker 1: him at some point. So really again, you know, mentioned

414
00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:02,920
Speaker 1: Mata later on going to Triple A. So it's really

415
00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:05,920
Speaker 1: four spots for six pictures. Well, actually, I think you

416
00:21:05,960 --> 00:21:10,640
Speaker 1: can say three spots for four pictures at this point.

417
00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:12,480
Speaker 1: So when you we know Newcomb is going to be

418
00:21:12,520 --> 00:21:16,720
Speaker 1: on the roster. So basically what happens here. You got Chriswell,

419
00:21:17,119 --> 00:21:20,959
Speaker 1: you got Kelly, you got Bernardino, and you got Weissert.

420
00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:25,080
Speaker 1: All right. So for me, if I'm going with a

421
00:21:25,119 --> 00:21:29,280
Speaker 1: couple of these guys right again, we know, uh, like

422
00:21:29,520 --> 00:21:31,680
Speaker 1: we know Newcomb is gonna be the fifth guy most likely,

423
00:21:32,119 --> 00:21:37,040
Speaker 1: So how does this shake out? I think Bernardino has

424
00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:40,240
Speaker 1: I think there's a possibility he could go back down

425
00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:42,720
Speaker 1: to triple A because when you look at the Red

426
00:21:42,760 --> 00:21:45,560
Speaker 1: Sox bullpen as of right now, it depends on how

427
00:21:45,560 --> 00:21:49,800
Speaker 1: they want to do it. Right, If Chatman is the closer, right,

428
00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:53,399
Speaker 1: so does that matter that really? You know, he's a lefty,

429
00:21:53,440 --> 00:21:56,399
Speaker 1: you mean, so I'd say, you know, Chapman being a lefty,

430
00:21:56,440 --> 00:21:59,200
Speaker 1: you take that out of the equation. But You're only

431
00:21:59,280 --> 00:22:02,680
Speaker 1: lefty is justin Wilson. So I think if they want

432
00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:06,720
Speaker 1: to have a couple of lefties, then you probably stick

433
00:22:06,760 --> 00:22:09,280
Speaker 1: with Bernardino. It just depends on how they want to

434
00:22:09,280 --> 00:22:12,760
Speaker 1: do Do they see Chapman as being a lefty in

435
00:22:12,840 --> 00:22:14,760
Speaker 1: the obviously he's a lefty, but that they see him

436
00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:16,840
Speaker 1: being that kind of a guy that can come in,

437
00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:19,639
Speaker 1: you know, is there a possibility that Chapman could come

438
00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:22,280
Speaker 1: in like the eighth inning on some outings or whatever,

439
00:22:22,359 --> 00:22:24,720
Speaker 1: or are they just gonna stick with him as the closer?

440
00:22:25,160 --> 00:22:27,879
Speaker 1: Just moving forward, depends on how they do it. But

441
00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:30,320
Speaker 1: I would say if that is the case, if Chapman

442
00:22:30,440 --> 00:22:34,359
Speaker 1: is your ninth inning guy, well then I could definitely

443
00:22:34,400 --> 00:22:38,840
Speaker 1: see them having Justin Wilson and Brendan Bernardino at that point.

444
00:22:38,960 --> 00:22:40,840
Speaker 1: So I think there's a good I think it's a

445
00:22:40,840 --> 00:22:43,520
Speaker 1: good chance Bernardino is going to be with the team.

446
00:22:43,880 --> 00:22:49,920
Speaker 1: Now when it comes to Zach Kelly or maybe even

447
00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:53,679
Speaker 1: Cooper Criswell, I think that's interesting because who gets that

448
00:22:53,840 --> 00:22:58,639
Speaker 1: long man's spot. Well, here's the thing, all right, Cooper Criswell,

449
00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:03,240
Speaker 1: right now, his numbers haven't been great this spring. He's

450
00:23:03,240 --> 00:23:06,280
Speaker 1: been giving up a lot of home runs over two

451
00:23:06,320 --> 00:23:09,760
Speaker 1: home runs per nine, very small sample, but he hasn't

452
00:23:09,760 --> 00:23:13,600
Speaker 1: been pitching as well as Zach Kelly this spring. Right now.

453
00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:15,440
Speaker 1: You know, Kelly, he's got a very good strikeout to

454
00:23:15,480 --> 00:23:17,720
Speaker 1: walk ratio e al right at a two point three

455
00:23:17,840 --> 00:23:20,240
Speaker 1: five fit it a two point zero seven. So Kelly

456
00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:24,280
Speaker 1: has been pitching better. So it's gonna be interesting. You know. Listen,

457
00:23:24,320 --> 00:23:27,840
Speaker 1: if you're going with pure performance out of spring, I

458
00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:31,200
Speaker 1: would imagine Kelly is would be the guy. But if

459
00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:34,240
Speaker 1: you're looking at it from an options point of view,

460
00:23:35,320 --> 00:23:39,120
Speaker 1: where you know, again, It doesn't really matter since obviously

461
00:23:39,119 --> 00:23:40,959
Speaker 1: one of them are going to be optioned. But if

462
00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:45,040
Speaker 1: that is something that comes into play, well Cooper Chriswhill

463
00:23:45,119 --> 00:23:49,520
Speaker 1: he has one option left while Zach Kelly has two,

464
00:23:50,080 --> 00:23:53,879
Speaker 1: So could that be something that you know is a

465
00:23:53,920 --> 00:23:57,240
Speaker 1: deciding factor there where Kelly has a bit more flexibility,

466
00:23:57,560 --> 00:24:00,320
Speaker 1: so they could send him to the triple A level

467
00:24:00,520 --> 00:24:04,200
Speaker 1: and then they keep Cooper Chriswell in the long relief role.

468
00:24:04,320 --> 00:24:06,760
Speaker 1: So I think it's gonna be one of them. I

469
00:24:06,760 --> 00:24:09,360
Speaker 1: do think Greg Weisert is going to be in this bullpen.

470
00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:12,000
Speaker 1: I don't see why he wouldn't be in this bullpen.

471
00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:14,560
Speaker 1: So yeah, I think it's gonna come down to Kelly

472
00:24:14,720 --> 00:24:18,760
Speaker 1: and Cooper Chriswell. I'll say they probably keep Bernardino in

473
00:24:18,800 --> 00:24:22,480
Speaker 1: that mix. Uh. I don't know. It really comes down

474
00:24:22,480 --> 00:24:27,520
Speaker 1: to how again they see the options, right, because because

475
00:24:27,600 --> 00:24:30,680
Speaker 1: Kelly has a couple of options, that makes him a

476
00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:33,480
Speaker 1: little bit more flexible. And if they send Chriswell well,

477
00:24:33,600 --> 00:24:36,560
Speaker 1: I guess that would use an option right so and

478
00:24:36,600 --> 00:24:38,960
Speaker 1: then he would have no options left. So I don't

479
00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:43,719
Speaker 1: know how they're gonna work that now. As for you know,

480
00:24:44,359 --> 00:24:47,960
Speaker 1: he did Chris Catillo doesn't mention here one position player

481
00:24:48,080 --> 00:24:51,280
Speaker 1: spot likely for Campbell, he says, So guard Toro eating

482
00:24:51,560 --> 00:24:54,680
Speaker 1: wild cards. If not, you know, I don't know. I

483
00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:57,640
Speaker 1: probably just don't really see too much going on there.

484
00:24:57,680 --> 00:25:00,520
Speaker 1: I would say for the bench right now, well, you

485
00:25:00,560 --> 00:25:03,000
Speaker 1: ain't got Nevis, you got Roamy, you got Hamilton, you

486
00:25:03,080 --> 00:25:06,760
Speaker 1: got ref Snyder. I don't really see those other guys

487
00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:10,800
Speaker 1: breaking the bench at all. But yeah, I mean I

488
00:25:10,840 --> 00:25:14,320
Speaker 1: think right now what we're seeing here on Fangrafts, the lineup.

489
00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:18,360
Speaker 1: You got Jared Duran, Raphael Devers, Bregman, CASA's story. They

490
00:25:18,359 --> 00:25:21,159
Speaker 1: have Campbell in the sixth spot here on Fangrafts, and

491
00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:23,959
Speaker 1: you got WILLI or bray you as the lefty. I

492
00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:26,919
Speaker 1: actually think you'll probably see will You or bray You

493
00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:30,560
Speaker 1: batting sixth because that'll because you have story Campbell back

494
00:25:30,600 --> 00:25:34,359
Speaker 1: to back right, he's a bray you breaks that up.

495
00:25:34,600 --> 00:25:38,320
Speaker 1: And obviously Campbell, like I said, you probably better off

496
00:25:38,520 --> 00:25:40,680
Speaker 1: leaving him in towards the bottom of the order takes

497
00:25:40,680 --> 00:25:42,600
Speaker 1: the pressure off of him. So I'll say, will you

498
00:25:42,600 --> 00:25:45,359
Speaker 1: are probably about six, Campbell bat seventh, and then you

499
00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:48,760
Speaker 1: got Wong, Rafaela and Uh to round out the order.

500
00:25:48,840 --> 00:25:52,440
Speaker 1: And then the bench, like I just mentioned there, Nevas, Gonzalez, Hamilton, Snyder,

501
00:25:52,800 --> 00:25:56,280
Speaker 1: the rotation right now, Crochet, Halck, Buehler, fits and new

502
00:25:56,320 --> 00:26:02,120
Speaker 1: come and then the bullpen Chapman, Hendrik Slay, Whitlock, Weissert, Wilson,

503
00:26:02,280 --> 00:26:07,639
Speaker 1: Bernardino and Zach Kelly or Cooper Griswell, however they do that.

504
00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:10,399
Speaker 1: So we'll see. But I think pretty much we have

505
00:26:10,440 --> 00:26:14,359
Speaker 1: a good idea of what this roster is looking like here.

506
00:26:14,600 --> 00:26:18,200
Speaker 1: So it's gonna be interesting moving forward here, ladies and gentlemen,

507
00:26:18,240 --> 00:26:22,360
Speaker 1: it's gonna be interesting. But let's get to a few

508
00:26:22,400 --> 00:26:25,199
Speaker 1: things here. Let's get to a few things when it

509
00:26:25,280 --> 00:26:28,320
Speaker 1: comes to some predictions. But let me take a quick

510
00:26:28,359 --> 00:26:31,439
Speaker 1: look here at some comments. What are you guys talking

511
00:26:31,480 --> 00:26:35,200
Speaker 1: about here in the chat? What do we got going on? Now?

512
00:26:35,200 --> 00:26:37,280
Speaker 1: I saw one earlier. I want to respond to this

513
00:26:37,320 --> 00:26:41,520
Speaker 1: one from John. He says, Roddie, are you still at

514
00:26:41,520 --> 00:26:44,840
Speaker 1: the beach? Yes? I went to the beach this past weekend. Everybody,

515
00:26:45,040 --> 00:26:49,399
Speaker 1: I got away for a weekend. Just drove down down

516
00:26:49,480 --> 00:26:52,720
Speaker 1: south a little bit, the West Palm, went to the

517
00:26:52,760 --> 00:26:56,240
Speaker 1: beach there. I gotta tell you, I'm as pale as

518
00:26:56,320 --> 00:27:00,320
Speaker 1: can be. My goodness, me and the sun we do

519
00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:04,040
Speaker 1: not cooperate. But I gotta say the beach it's pretty nice.

520
00:27:04,520 --> 00:27:07,160
Speaker 1: It feels just good, you know, getting the salt water,

521
00:27:07,640 --> 00:27:10,040
Speaker 1: kind of laying out, listening to the waves. It really

522
00:27:10,080 --> 00:27:13,840
Speaker 1: decompresses you. And I figured, okay, opening days this coming week.

523
00:27:13,880 --> 00:27:16,679
Speaker 1: It's a busy week. So yeah, I got to the beach,

524
00:27:16,800 --> 00:27:19,280
Speaker 1: got to the beach. It was also it was the

525
00:27:19,320 --> 00:27:21,960
Speaker 1: girlfriend's birthday as well. She wanted to go to the beach,

526
00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:23,719
Speaker 1: so it worked out with that. But no, I am

527
00:27:23,720 --> 00:27:26,919
Speaker 1: no longer at the beach anymore. I am home. I

528
00:27:26,960 --> 00:27:29,439
Speaker 1: am home. What else are we saying? I saw someone

529
00:27:29,480 --> 00:27:33,160
Speaker 1: in the chat talking about Marcelo Meyer. Now that's something

530
00:27:33,200 --> 00:27:36,800
Speaker 1: I should have mentioned earlier. When talking about Christian Campbell.

531
00:27:36,800 --> 00:27:38,520
Speaker 1: I gave you all the reasons why I like that,

532
00:27:38,920 --> 00:27:42,840
Speaker 1: But here's why I like Marcelo Meyer. Starting the year

533
00:27:43,200 --> 00:27:45,440
Speaker 1: at Triple LIFE. I think that's gonna be better. Yes,

534
00:27:45,640 --> 00:27:49,520
Speaker 1: Meyer had a great spring, But to me, Meyer, I

535
00:27:49,560 --> 00:27:52,120
Speaker 1: mean he's a short stop. Yes he could play second base,

536
00:27:52,359 --> 00:27:56,320
Speaker 1: there's no denying that. But I think Meyer, especially with

537
00:27:56,520 --> 00:28:00,520
Speaker 1: his year ending last year with a back injury, I say,

538
00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:02,520
Speaker 1: start the year at Triple A. I know he just

539
00:28:02,560 --> 00:28:04,679
Speaker 1: started off very well here in spring and he had

540
00:28:04,680 --> 00:28:07,760
Speaker 1: a great spring. Yes, but I say, go get keep

541
00:28:07,800 --> 00:28:11,280
Speaker 1: getting consistent at bats down there, really keep finding your rhythm.

542
00:28:11,320 --> 00:28:16,080
Speaker 1: I think Meyer will eventually find himself with the Red Sox.

543
00:28:16,119 --> 00:28:19,560
Speaker 1: This year. You're gonna have some injuries. Someone's gonna go down.

544
00:28:19,640 --> 00:28:22,560
Speaker 1: Could that be story? I really hope not. I really

545
00:28:22,560 --> 00:28:26,360
Speaker 1: want Trevor's story to just have just a great year

546
00:28:26,359 --> 00:28:29,240
Speaker 1: with the Red Sox. I'm hoping for it. I'm praying

547
00:28:29,280 --> 00:28:33,520
Speaker 1: for it. I'm just praying the guy stays healthy. Man, goodness, gracious,

548
00:28:33,760 --> 00:28:37,760
Speaker 1: I need Trevor Story to have himself finally have himself

549
00:28:38,040 --> 00:28:40,600
Speaker 1: a good year. But I'm okay with Meyer getting some

550
00:28:40,680 --> 00:28:44,360
Speaker 1: consistent at bats. And you know, if anyone goes down,

551
00:28:45,600 --> 00:28:48,280
Speaker 1: you know he's gonna get called upon. So I'm excited

552
00:28:48,320 --> 00:28:51,400
Speaker 1: for that. What else we got here? What else we got? Ian?

553
00:28:51,520 --> 00:28:54,480
Speaker 1: I want Slayton as the closer. Yeah, I could see

554
00:28:54,520 --> 00:28:57,920
Speaker 1: Slayton at some point getting some opportunities. I think they're

555
00:28:57,960 --> 00:29:01,760
Speaker 1: gonna start the year with Chapman as the I think

556
00:29:01,800 --> 00:29:05,600
Speaker 1: they're you know, they're going with the experience there. I'm

557
00:29:05,640 --> 00:29:09,760
Speaker 1: okay with that. Honestly. Yes, Chapman, he has given many

558
00:29:09,760 --> 00:29:14,520
Speaker 1: people heart attacks over the years. He's definitely come up

559
00:29:14,560 --> 00:29:18,200
Speaker 1: short in some big spots over the years, But this

560
00:29:18,320 --> 00:29:21,080
Speaker 1: is a guy that's had a ton of success as

561
00:29:21,120 --> 00:29:25,000
Speaker 1: a closer. So I'm okay with going with that experience

562
00:29:25,040 --> 00:29:27,800
Speaker 1: and letting it kind of work itself out. And if

563
00:29:27,840 --> 00:29:32,080
Speaker 1: Slayton gets that opportunity at some point, I think that's great, Right, Chapman,

564
00:29:32,880 --> 00:29:36,960
Speaker 1: I feel like they're gonna give him a decent leash

565
00:29:37,080 --> 00:29:40,520
Speaker 1: if things start going a bit haywire in the beginning.

566
00:29:40,720 --> 00:29:43,160
Speaker 1: I don't if he blows a save in the beginning

567
00:29:43,200 --> 00:29:44,720
Speaker 1: of the year like in April, I don't think they're

568
00:29:44,720 --> 00:29:47,600
Speaker 1: just gonna remove him from the closer role just like that.

569
00:29:47,960 --> 00:29:50,000
Speaker 1: I think it would have to take a few saves

570
00:29:50,040 --> 00:29:52,600
Speaker 1: blown for them to make that kind of a move.

571
00:29:54,360 --> 00:29:56,360
Speaker 1: I think he'll have a I don't want to say

572
00:29:56,400 --> 00:29:58,600
Speaker 1: a long leash. I don't want to say a short leash.

573
00:29:58,760 --> 00:30:02,800
Speaker 1: I'll go like a medium sized leash, maybe like low medium,

574
00:30:03,080 --> 00:30:07,920
Speaker 1: you know. But they'll give him his opportunities. But Chatman,

575
00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:11,200
Speaker 1: I'm okay with that. Slayton. If that happens, I'm cool

576
00:30:11,200 --> 00:30:13,080
Speaker 1: with that too. So the bullpen, I think is gonna

577
00:30:13,080 --> 00:30:16,560
Speaker 1: be the interesting part of the team to pay attention

578
00:30:16,640 --> 00:30:19,040
Speaker 1: to this year. I'm hoping it doesn't turn into like

579
00:30:19,080 --> 00:30:22,400
Speaker 1: a two thousand and three Red Sox situation where he

580
00:30:22,440 --> 00:30:25,240
Speaker 1: had the closer by committee and my goodness, and that's

581
00:30:25,280 --> 00:30:28,120
Speaker 1: what led to Keith Folk and you know how that went.

582
00:30:28,680 --> 00:30:32,040
Speaker 1: My goodness, that bullpen from two thousand and three will

583
00:30:32,080 --> 00:30:35,719
Speaker 1: always break my heart. What else we got, Joelle? Are

584
00:30:35,720 --> 00:30:38,840
Speaker 1: you worried about Hawck? You know that's interesting. There's not

585
00:30:39,160 --> 00:30:43,240
Speaker 1: really a whole lot being said about Tanner Hawck. I'm

586
00:30:43,320 --> 00:30:47,400
Speaker 1: not right now because obviously he had the good year.

587
00:30:47,640 --> 00:30:50,840
Speaker 1: Now Tanner Hawck, mean he has gotten roughed up a

588
00:30:50,840 --> 00:30:52,840
Speaker 1: little bit. I kind of wonder if maybe he was

589
00:30:52,840 --> 00:30:55,560
Speaker 1: just playing around with some things this spring, because we

590
00:30:55,600 --> 00:30:57,760
Speaker 1: all saw the success he had last year. He all

591
00:30:57,840 --> 00:30:59,960
Speaker 1: right a three point one two for a three point

592
00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:02,920
Speaker 1: three to two. Obviously he figured something out. Maybe, you know,

593
00:31:02,960 --> 00:31:05,560
Speaker 1: he could be working through some mechanical things right now.

594
00:31:06,520 --> 00:31:09,000
Speaker 1: That's possible. Remember, you know, he kind of made some

595
00:31:09,040 --> 00:31:13,080
Speaker 1: tweaks mechanically, you know last offseason, you know, before twenty

596
00:31:13,120 --> 00:31:15,880
Speaker 1: twenty four, and obviously that it led to some success.

597
00:31:15,960 --> 00:31:18,560
Speaker 1: So I think it could be, you know, maybe he's

598
00:31:18,560 --> 00:31:20,800
Speaker 1: playing around with a couple of things trying to find

599
00:31:20,800 --> 00:31:23,760
Speaker 1: his comfort level. I'm not worried about Hawk right now,

600
00:31:24,320 --> 00:31:27,640
Speaker 1: but uh, you know, if he starts kind of scringing

601
00:31:27,680 --> 00:31:31,280
Speaker 1: together a few outings where he's getting lit up, yeah

602
00:31:31,400 --> 00:31:33,280
Speaker 1: I think I'll get a little worried. Then. Right now,

603
00:31:33,320 --> 00:31:36,120
Speaker 1: I'm not I'd say I'm at like a two out

604
00:31:36,120 --> 00:31:39,400
Speaker 1: of ten. If ten is like absolute panic, I'm at

605
00:31:39,480 --> 00:31:42,040
Speaker 1: like a two. I'll pay attention to it, but I'm

606
00:31:42,080 --> 00:31:45,280
Speaker 1: not going too crazy right now. The most important thing

607
00:31:45,440 --> 00:31:49,600
Speaker 1: I think, you know, one number from this spring is

608
00:31:49,640 --> 00:31:52,800
Speaker 1: he hasn't really given up the long ball this spring

609
00:31:53,680 --> 00:31:57,000
Speaker 1: over thirteen and two thirteen and two thirds one home

610
00:31:57,080 --> 00:31:59,560
Speaker 1: run aloud. So if he was kind of like leaving

611
00:31:59,560 --> 00:32:03,200
Speaker 1: stuff over the plate, I'd be a little concerned about that.

612
00:32:03,400 --> 00:32:07,440
Speaker 1: His walk rate isn't really too high. He's at a

613
00:32:07,440 --> 00:32:11,080
Speaker 1: three point twenty nine walk rate this spring, which I

614
00:32:11,080 --> 00:32:13,239
Speaker 1: think is healthy. That's a little high from what it

615
00:32:13,360 --> 00:32:16,080
Speaker 1: was in twenty twenty four. So yeah, if he was

616
00:32:16,160 --> 00:32:18,800
Speaker 1: leaving stuff over the plate, if he was walking a

617
00:32:18,800 --> 00:32:21,840
Speaker 1: whole bunch of guys, then yeah, like I'd maybe have

618
00:32:21,920 --> 00:32:24,480
Speaker 1: a little bit more concern. But he's just not really

619
00:32:24,560 --> 00:32:26,640
Speaker 1: racking up the strikeouts, so That's where I kind of

620
00:32:26,680 --> 00:32:29,480
Speaker 1: think he was maybe playing around with some stuff. I'm

621
00:32:29,480 --> 00:32:32,400
Speaker 1: not too worried. Not too worried, all right, everyone, Uh,

622
00:32:32,520 --> 00:32:36,400
Speaker 1: let's get to some predictions here. I got my predictions

623
00:32:36,400 --> 00:32:41,560
Speaker 1: here for twenty twenty five. Uh. I'm pretty excited to

624
00:32:41,600 --> 00:32:44,560
Speaker 1: share these with you now on my main channel, I

625
00:32:44,760 --> 00:32:47,520
Speaker 1: just came out with my twenty twenty five predictions. If

626
00:32:47,560 --> 00:32:50,160
Speaker 1: you have not seen those yet, go check those out.

627
00:32:50,320 --> 00:32:52,800
Speaker 1: They're all going to be wrong. They are always wrong.

628
00:32:52,840 --> 00:32:55,560
Speaker 1: That's why I always find the comments section so funny,

629
00:32:55,600 --> 00:32:59,720
Speaker 1: because people take these predictions like personally and they get

630
00:33:00,440 --> 00:33:03,680
Speaker 1: and then they get so uh it's like they get offended.

631
00:33:04,560 --> 00:33:06,720
Speaker 1: It's like, I don't know what you get some mean

632
00:33:06,920 --> 00:33:10,560
Speaker 1: comments in predictions. It's like the predictions everybody. I mean,

633
00:33:10,640 --> 00:33:13,600
Speaker 1: I'm not you know, I don't got a crystal ball here.

634
00:33:13,640 --> 00:33:16,080
Speaker 1: I don't know what's gonna end up happening. But this

635
00:33:16,120 --> 00:33:20,200
Speaker 1: is the first time I've done red Sox predictions, so

636
00:33:20,240 --> 00:33:23,200
Speaker 1: I've come up with five. I've come up with five,

637
00:33:23,480 --> 00:33:25,960
Speaker 1: and uh, let's have some fun with this. My first one,

638
00:33:26,480 --> 00:33:31,440
Speaker 1: my first one. We got here Roman Anthony. Let me uh,

639
00:33:31,520 --> 00:33:33,960
Speaker 1: let me make sure I got the buttons working here,

640
00:33:34,640 --> 00:33:37,040
Speaker 1: make sure I got the buttons. I don't think oh

641
00:33:37,160 --> 00:33:39,840
Speaker 1: I made a little goofy goof. I think I made

642
00:33:39,840 --> 00:33:42,680
Speaker 1: a little goofy goof. Let's go back to let me

643
00:33:42,720 --> 00:33:45,440
Speaker 1: go back to this screen. Hold on. Okay, so we're

644
00:33:45,440 --> 00:33:47,840
Speaker 1: gonna have to stay on this screen. Here we go.

645
00:33:47,920 --> 00:33:53,080
Speaker 1: So we got Roman Anthony here, and uh, here's my

646
00:33:53,280 --> 00:33:56,200
Speaker 1: prediction when it let me, I don't know why my

647
00:33:56,400 --> 00:33:58,560
Speaker 1: stuff is not working right now. Of course my stuff's

648
00:33:58,600 --> 00:34:03,600
Speaker 1: not working. So first addiction, Roman Anthony. I think at

649
00:34:03,640 --> 00:34:08,160
Speaker 1: some point this year he will be the starting right

650
00:34:08,200 --> 00:34:11,920
Speaker 1: fielder for the Boston Red Sox. Uh listen, I love

651
00:34:11,960 --> 00:34:15,200
Speaker 1: that Willier has you know, gotten himself right here in spring.

652
00:34:15,239 --> 00:34:18,040
Speaker 1: He just homeered not too long ago. Uh. You know,

653
00:34:18,080 --> 00:34:22,880
Speaker 1: he battled you know, a pretty decent illness this past offseason,

654
00:34:22,920 --> 00:34:26,919
Speaker 1: gastro intestinal illness. He lost a lot of weight. But hey,

655
00:34:26,960 --> 00:34:29,359
Speaker 1: he said, coming into spring, Hey, he'll be fine by

656
00:34:29,360 --> 00:34:31,279
Speaker 1: opening day. Get him some at bats and he'll be

657
00:34:31,320 --> 00:34:33,440
Speaker 1: good to go. He even said the weight loss actually

658
00:34:33,880 --> 00:34:35,640
Speaker 1: helped him in a way, you know, it kind of

659
00:34:35,680 --> 00:34:38,440
Speaker 1: helped his you know, mobility. He's you know, feeling lighter.

660
00:34:38,880 --> 00:34:43,239
Speaker 1: So I appreciate respect that. Here's the thing though, here's

661
00:34:43,239 --> 00:34:45,600
Speaker 1: the thing we all know, Roman Anthony's knocking on the door.

662
00:34:45,640 --> 00:34:49,799
Speaker 1: This guy looked very good this spring. Now, uh, he

663
00:34:50,000 --> 00:34:54,799
Speaker 1: ended up kind of tailing towards where he had a

664
00:34:54,800 --> 00:34:57,640
Speaker 1: lot of success in the beginning of spring, the first half.

665
00:34:57,680 --> 00:34:59,800
Speaker 1: But then he got sick, all right, and then you know,

666
00:34:59,840 --> 00:35:02,560
Speaker 1: he he ended up losing some weight. Right, he was

667
00:35:02,600 --> 00:35:05,120
Speaker 1: hitting very well in the early going, and after he

668
00:35:05,160 --> 00:35:07,600
Speaker 1: came back, you started to see his numbers dip a

669
00:35:07,640 --> 00:35:09,880
Speaker 1: little bit, right, ended up right now he's at a

670
00:35:09,920 --> 00:35:12,960
Speaker 1: two zero six batting average, a seven to fifteen ohps,

671
00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:15,480
Speaker 1: but his on base percentage is a three ninety one.

672
00:35:15,640 --> 00:35:19,600
Speaker 1: That to me is a very good sign for Roman Anthony.

673
00:35:20,440 --> 00:35:23,520
Speaker 1: The fact that this when you looked at how he

674
00:35:23,600 --> 00:35:27,000
Speaker 1: was approaching is at bats this spring. I mean, the

675
00:35:27,080 --> 00:35:29,719
Speaker 1: guy looked like he had been there, done that, right.

676
00:35:29,760 --> 00:35:33,600
Speaker 1: He just had like this presence at the plate. There's

677
00:35:33,640 --> 00:35:37,160
Speaker 1: just something about him. He just looked the part this spring.

678
00:35:37,480 --> 00:35:39,799
Speaker 1: And you know, yes, he got hurt or sorry, he

679
00:35:39,880 --> 00:35:43,000
Speaker 1: got sick miss time, so I kind of messed with

680
00:35:43,040 --> 00:35:44,920
Speaker 1: his mojo a little bit. I think he's going to

681
00:35:44,960 --> 00:35:46,680
Speaker 1: go back down to TRIPAA. I think he's going to

682
00:35:46,719 --> 00:35:50,359
Speaker 1: get himself into a rhythm. And the one thing with Willier, it's,

683
00:35:50,520 --> 00:35:52,719
Speaker 1: you know, no disrespect to Willier, but the one thing

684
00:35:52,719 --> 00:35:55,480
Speaker 1: I'm a little concerned about is how he is against

685
00:35:55,560 --> 00:35:58,200
Speaker 1: left handed pitching. Right we know he can do damage

686
00:35:58,200 --> 00:36:00,520
Speaker 1: against righties. Right he showed a lot of good things

687
00:36:00,640 --> 00:36:04,360
Speaker 1: year at the plate against right handed pitching. But I wonder,

688
00:36:04,520 --> 00:36:06,200
Speaker 1: you know, yes, we did just see a home run

689
00:36:06,239 --> 00:36:09,919
Speaker 1: recently from Willier, but you know, spring training is one thing.

690
00:36:10,360 --> 00:36:12,400
Speaker 1: How is will You're going to do in the early

691
00:36:12,440 --> 00:36:13,680
Speaker 1: part of the year. How is he going to do

692
00:36:13,680 --> 00:36:16,800
Speaker 1: in the first couple of months. I don't know, especially

693
00:36:16,920 --> 00:36:19,560
Speaker 1: the fact that he didn't get more at bats and

694
00:36:19,640 --> 00:36:23,759
Speaker 1: more opportunities against left handed pitching the spring. So that's

695
00:36:23,800 --> 00:36:26,480
Speaker 1: where I just wonder. And with Roman, I think at

696
00:36:26,520 --> 00:36:28,360
Speaker 1: some point he's going to heat up, He's going to

697
00:36:28,400 --> 00:36:33,520
Speaker 1: get himself right. This is a guy I think right now,

698
00:36:33,560 --> 00:36:35,880
Speaker 1: if he had not gotten sick, I think there was

699
00:36:35,920 --> 00:36:39,319
Speaker 1: a very realistic chance this guy could have made the team.

700
00:36:39,520 --> 00:36:41,840
Speaker 1: I'm not kidding. I think this guy is going to

701
00:36:41,920 --> 00:36:45,120
Speaker 1: do so well with the Red Sox. But I do

702
00:36:45,160 --> 00:36:46,920
Speaker 1: think at some point we're going to see a bit

703
00:36:46,920 --> 00:36:50,200
Speaker 1: of a Jacoby Ellsbury situation from what we saw back

704
00:36:50,200 --> 00:36:52,160
Speaker 1: in two thousand and seven where he was knocking on

705
00:36:52,200 --> 00:36:55,040
Speaker 1: the door Coco Crisp. He was a little up and down,

706
00:36:55,440 --> 00:36:58,560
Speaker 1: and Jacoby he got called up I believe later in June,

707
00:36:59,040 --> 00:37:02,239
Speaker 1: and then you know, eventually he started getting into a

708
00:37:02,239 --> 00:37:04,120
Speaker 1: bit of a flow and he ended up taking over

709
00:37:04,200 --> 00:37:07,839
Speaker 1: center field in the postseason. Right I think you're gonna

710
00:37:07,880 --> 00:37:11,400
Speaker 1: see a similar situation with Roman. I just think with

711
00:37:11,760 --> 00:37:14,080
Speaker 1: what he brings to the table from a plate discipline

712
00:37:14,120 --> 00:37:17,319
Speaker 1: point of view, with what he can do with just

713
00:37:17,520 --> 00:37:20,120
Speaker 1: my goodness, I mean you just go to the Spring

714
00:37:20,160 --> 00:37:22,120
Speaker 1: breakout game. Look at the home run that he hit

715
00:37:23,000 --> 00:37:25,000
Speaker 1: in that game. I mean, my goodness. I still don't

716
00:37:25,000 --> 00:37:27,560
Speaker 1: think that balls come down yet. This guy can do

717
00:37:27,600 --> 00:37:30,080
Speaker 1: absolute damage with the bat. But I think the difference

718
00:37:30,120 --> 00:37:34,680
Speaker 1: maker could be where he can hit both lefties and righty's,

719
00:37:35,040 --> 00:37:37,120
Speaker 1: And I wonder if that's something the Red Sox are

720
00:37:37,120 --> 00:37:40,520
Speaker 1: going to see and if Willier is struggling, they could

721
00:37:40,560 --> 00:37:43,080
Speaker 1: turn to Roman, especially if he's hot. So that's something

722
00:37:43,120 --> 00:37:47,040
Speaker 1: to pay attention to this year. Very very excited for Roman,

723
00:37:47,080 --> 00:37:50,000
Speaker 1: and I do think at some point he will be

724
00:37:50,400 --> 00:37:53,160
Speaker 1: the right fielder for the Red Sox in twenty twenty

725
00:37:53,160 --> 00:37:55,319
Speaker 1: five or left field. However they do it. I'm not

726
00:37:55,320 --> 00:37:58,399
Speaker 1: sure how they do it. But here we go. Next prediction. Here,

727
00:37:58,680 --> 00:38:03,160
Speaker 1: next prediction. We got Raffi Devers here on the screen.

728
00:38:03,200 --> 00:38:05,920
Speaker 1: We got Raffi. And I'm gonna say this right now,

729
00:38:06,000 --> 00:38:10,520
Speaker 1: ladies and gentlemen, Ladies and gentlemen, I think Raffi he's

730
00:38:10,560 --> 00:38:13,160
Speaker 1: gonna have himself a great year as the DH and

731
00:38:13,239 --> 00:38:16,160
Speaker 1: for the first time in his career, he will hit

732
00:38:16,760 --> 00:38:21,080
Speaker 1: forty home runs. Now, Raffi his career high in home

733
00:38:21,160 --> 00:38:23,360
Speaker 1: runs is thirty eight back in twenty twenty one over

734
00:38:23,400 --> 00:38:25,560
Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty six games. He was very good

735
00:38:25,719 --> 00:38:27,399
Speaker 1: back that year. He had two seventy nine to three

736
00:38:27,440 --> 00:38:30,160
Speaker 1: fifty two one base a five thirty eight slugging. Uh yeah,

737
00:38:30,239 --> 00:38:32,640
Speaker 1: we had, you know, the bit of drama when it

738
00:38:32,680 --> 00:38:36,320
Speaker 1: came to third base, right with Raffi, I mean, Alex

739
00:38:36,360 --> 00:38:39,160
Speaker 1: Bregman at third base. It's a no brainer, you know what.

740
00:38:39,239 --> 00:38:41,720
Speaker 1: There was the conversation, maybe Bregman could be at second,

741
00:38:41,760 --> 00:38:44,640
Speaker 1: but when we started hearing about Christian Campbell, the Red

742
00:38:44,719 --> 00:38:48,280
Speaker 1: Sox being high on him, it looked inevitable that Bregman

743
00:38:48,400 --> 00:38:50,080
Speaker 1: was gonna be the third baseman, and then you didn't

744
00:38:50,080 --> 00:38:52,880
Speaker 1: even see Bregman play one game at second base. At

745
00:38:52,880 --> 00:38:55,520
Speaker 1: one point, I thought, Okay, they're just waiting for Raffi

746
00:38:55,600 --> 00:38:58,279
Speaker 1: to come back, because remember he missed time in the

747
00:38:58,320 --> 00:39:00,800
Speaker 1: beginning of spring and uh, and then they would maybe

748
00:39:00,800 --> 00:39:03,759
Speaker 1: make that move. But as time went on, you didn't

749
00:39:03,760 --> 00:39:07,239
Speaker 1: see Bregman at second base. Right, so, Raffi he's gonna

750
00:39:07,239 --> 00:39:10,440
Speaker 1: be the DH moving forward. I think he will play.

751
00:39:10,520 --> 00:39:12,080
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know. I mean, who knows. Maybe

752
00:39:12,120 --> 00:39:16,600
Speaker 1: the Red Sox are completely they are completely shutting it down.

753
00:39:16,760 --> 00:39:20,000
Speaker 1: You know, have we seen Raffi play his last game

754
00:39:20,239 --> 00:39:23,359
Speaker 1: at third base? I think that could be a possibility.

755
00:39:23,360 --> 00:39:26,640
Speaker 1: I'm gonna leave the door open for him playing there,

756
00:39:26,920 --> 00:39:30,080
Speaker 1: you know, on a slight, part time basis. But I

757
00:39:30,080 --> 00:39:34,800
Speaker 1: don't see the point, you know, especially if Campbell is hitting,

758
00:39:35,080 --> 00:39:37,080
Speaker 1: if he is able to, you know, keep up what

759
00:39:37,160 --> 00:39:42,880
Speaker 1: he's doing, then I don't see a situation where Devers

760
00:39:42,960 --> 00:39:45,160
Speaker 1: is playing third. The only way I could see it

761
00:39:45,200 --> 00:39:50,840
Speaker 1: happening is if Case struggles mightily and they have to

762
00:39:50,880 --> 00:39:53,320
Speaker 1: make a move. But then in that situation, I wonder,

763
00:39:53,719 --> 00:39:56,520
Speaker 1: do you just put David Hamilton at second base or

764
00:39:56,680 --> 00:39:59,520
Speaker 1: Von Grissoms hitting, well, do you go to him? I

765
00:39:59,520 --> 00:40:02,480
Speaker 1: think there's a there's a very real chance here that

766
00:40:02,560 --> 00:40:05,759
Speaker 1: we have seen Raffi play his last game at third base. Now,

767
00:40:06,080 --> 00:40:09,440
Speaker 1: I saw I saw Section ten love those guys. I

768
00:40:09,440 --> 00:40:13,640
Speaker 1: don't remember who said this, but I saw someone say

769
00:40:14,480 --> 00:40:17,399
Speaker 1: someone say I can't remember who said it, but if

770
00:40:17,560 --> 00:40:23,040
Speaker 1: Raffi was asked to play third base, would he say no?

771
00:40:23,719 --> 00:40:25,719
Speaker 1: And I don't again, I don't remember who said it,

772
00:40:25,719 --> 00:40:28,640
Speaker 1: but I think he said that he would. He thinks

773
00:40:28,640 --> 00:40:31,000
Speaker 1: that Raffi would turn it down. I don't think you would.

774
00:40:31,120 --> 00:40:33,160
Speaker 1: I think to me, if, like if the Red Sox,

775
00:40:33,200 --> 00:40:36,920
Speaker 1: if Korra needs let's say, I don't know, Brugman pulls

776
00:40:36,960 --> 00:40:39,319
Speaker 1: a hammy or something and they need Raffia in an

777
00:40:39,400 --> 00:40:42,919
Speaker 1: emergency situation to play third, I think you will, right.

778
00:40:42,960 --> 00:40:45,000
Speaker 1: You know, again, you gotta do what's best for the team.

779
00:40:45,120 --> 00:40:47,919
Speaker 1: But uh, getting back to the point here, I think

780
00:40:47,960 --> 00:40:51,120
Speaker 1: we have seen the last of Raffi at third minus

781
00:40:51,160 --> 00:40:55,600
Speaker 1: maybe a couple of starts possibly, or whatever it may be.

782
00:40:56,239 --> 00:40:58,319
Speaker 1: But I think now that he can focus on the bat,

783
00:40:58,360 --> 00:41:00,520
Speaker 1: and I think now that he can just focus on

784
00:41:00,560 --> 00:41:03,360
Speaker 1: the hitting, he's gonna stay healthy, all right. The last

785
00:41:03,360 --> 00:41:06,080
Speaker 1: couple of years Raffi in the second half, he's been

786
00:41:06,160 --> 00:41:08,600
Speaker 1: dinged up by injuries. I think he's gonna be healthy.

787
00:41:08,680 --> 00:41:10,879
Speaker 1: He's gonna be able to focus on the bat. Came

788
00:41:10,960 --> 00:41:13,839
Speaker 1: so close to forty home runs back in twenty twenty one.

789
00:41:14,320 --> 00:41:17,080
Speaker 1: I think this year he's gonna knock forty out of

790
00:41:17,120 --> 00:41:18,879
Speaker 1: the park. I think he's gonna have a great year

791
00:41:18,920 --> 00:41:21,040
Speaker 1: at the plate. I think he's gonna be an absolute

792
00:41:21,160 --> 00:41:23,360
Speaker 1: force at the plate. And you gotta remember with Raffi,

793
00:41:23,840 --> 00:41:27,880
Speaker 1: this guy right now is firmly in the prime of

794
00:41:27,920 --> 00:41:30,879
Speaker 1: his career, twenty eight years old. I think we're gonna

795
00:41:30,920 --> 00:41:34,400
Speaker 1: have a monster year from Raffi Devers at the DH spot.

796
00:41:35,400 --> 00:41:38,200
Speaker 1: For the next prediction. For the next prediction, let's see

797
00:41:38,200 --> 00:41:42,560
Speaker 1: what we got. We got Ryan Helsley here on the screen.

798
00:41:42,760 --> 00:41:47,279
Speaker 1: Why is Ryan Helsley on the screen. He's not even

799
00:41:47,320 --> 00:41:51,560
Speaker 1: on the Red Sox, So what does this even mean? Well,

800
00:41:51,600 --> 00:41:54,759
Speaker 1: here's my prediction. Here's my prediction. I think at some

801
00:41:54,880 --> 00:41:58,040
Speaker 1: point the Red Sox are gonna make a move to

802
00:41:58,080 --> 00:42:00,520
Speaker 1: add a closer to the back end of the bullpen.

803
00:42:00,560 --> 00:42:02,560
Speaker 1: You know, like we just talked about Shadman, He's gonna

804
00:42:02,560 --> 00:42:05,279
Speaker 1: get the first go if he ends up struggling, you know,

805
00:42:05,400 --> 00:42:08,720
Speaker 1: maybe a few saves, you know, a few blown saves.

806
00:42:09,400 --> 00:42:11,560
Speaker 1: That's when I think they'll start looking at other options.

807
00:42:12,080 --> 00:42:14,160
Speaker 1: That's when I think you could turn to Justin Slayton,

808
00:42:14,480 --> 00:42:17,920
Speaker 1: or Liam Hendrix if he's got himself right, maybe even

809
00:42:17,960 --> 00:42:20,960
Speaker 1: Garrett Whitlock, whatever it may be. But I feel, like

810
00:42:22,000 --> 00:42:24,440
Speaker 1: the Red Sox, there's gonna be some dancing around in

811
00:42:24,520 --> 00:42:27,840
Speaker 1: that bullpen. I just have this weird feeling about it.

812
00:42:27,880 --> 00:42:31,279
Speaker 1: I think there's a chance someone like Slayton could take

813
00:42:31,320 --> 00:42:33,759
Speaker 1: over the roll and hold on to it. You just

814
00:42:33,760 --> 00:42:36,400
Speaker 1: don't know. The ninth inning is a different animal. It

815
00:42:36,600 --> 00:42:40,560
Speaker 1: just is, right. I think Slayton had how many saves

816
00:42:40,600 --> 00:42:44,400
Speaker 1: did Slayton have last year? I'm going a little blank.

817
00:42:44,480 --> 00:42:48,040
Speaker 1: I think he had one or two. Let me see here,

818
00:42:48,080 --> 00:42:49,440
Speaker 1: I mean, let me let me. I think he had

819
00:42:49,440 --> 00:42:52,880
Speaker 1: two saves, like I had two saves last year. So

820
00:42:54,080 --> 00:42:58,920
Speaker 1: but on a full time basis, full time basis, how

821
00:42:58,920 --> 00:43:02,120
Speaker 1: are they gonna respond to that? No? No, No, it's

822
00:43:02,160 --> 00:43:05,560
Speaker 1: a different animal in itself. You never know. So yeah,

823
00:43:05,560 --> 00:43:09,000
Speaker 1: I think Slayton has the stuff to be the closer,

824
00:43:09,680 --> 00:43:12,680
Speaker 1: you know, but is that something that he can handle

825
00:43:13,320 --> 00:43:15,360
Speaker 1: on a game to game basis. We don't know the

826
00:43:15,360 --> 00:43:17,239
Speaker 1: answer to that. I'm not saying he can't, we just

827
00:43:17,280 --> 00:43:21,560
Speaker 1: don't fully know. I think he has absolutely he can

828
00:43:21,600 --> 00:43:25,799
Speaker 1: definitely do it. He has shown obviously with what he

829
00:43:25,840 --> 00:43:28,239
Speaker 1: can do on the mound that I think there's a

830
00:43:28,320 --> 00:43:31,000
Speaker 1: very real chance he could be a very good closer

831
00:43:31,239 --> 00:43:34,359
Speaker 1: at one point. But I don't know. I'm just not

832
00:43:34,400 --> 00:43:36,560
Speaker 1: sure about it as of right now. Liam Hendrick says,

833
00:43:36,600 --> 00:43:39,160
Speaker 1: not look good so far. Right now, I'm not sure.

834
00:43:39,360 --> 00:43:41,800
Speaker 1: You know what's gonna happen with that velo moving forward.

835
00:43:41,840 --> 00:43:43,799
Speaker 1: Is he gonna get his stuff fully back to what

836
00:43:43,800 --> 00:43:46,600
Speaker 1: we've seen in the past. I don't know. I'm gonna

837
00:43:46,640 --> 00:43:51,480
Speaker 1: go with the prediction that there's gonna be guys kind

838
00:43:51,480 --> 00:43:54,360
Speaker 1: of moving around trying to find roles in that bullpen,

839
00:43:54,520 --> 00:43:57,200
Speaker 1: and I feel like that's something they're gonna be trying

840
00:43:57,200 --> 00:43:59,759
Speaker 1: to figure out for the first couple of months. I

841
00:43:59,760 --> 00:44:02,759
Speaker 1: hope I'm wrong because that, you know, I'd rather have

842
00:44:02,840 --> 00:44:05,160
Speaker 1: guys in roles, but I feel like they're gonna make

843
00:44:05,200 --> 00:44:08,200
Speaker 1: a move for a closer at one point. Ryan Helsley

844
00:44:09,040 --> 00:44:10,680
Speaker 1: is going to be the top option when it comes

845
00:44:10,719 --> 00:44:13,319
Speaker 1: to the relief market by the deadline and one other

846
00:44:13,360 --> 00:44:15,680
Speaker 1: thing I think about it is with the Saint Louis Cardinals.

847
00:44:15,680 --> 00:44:20,600
Speaker 1: Supposedly they had a trade basically completed for Nolan Arnado

848
00:44:20,760 --> 00:44:23,719
Speaker 1: if they didn't sign Alex Bregman. So they've had conversations

849
00:44:23,719 --> 00:44:26,480
Speaker 1: here with the Cardinals, So you have that interaction already,

850
00:44:26,920 --> 00:44:29,279
Speaker 1: So I think that's very possible that you can make

851
00:44:29,280 --> 00:44:31,800
Speaker 1: a move there. If not him, depending on what happens

852
00:44:31,800 --> 00:44:34,520
Speaker 1: with the Pasres, maybe someone like Robert Suarez I think

853
00:44:34,600 --> 00:44:37,280
Speaker 1: could be an option, you know, depending on what happens

854
00:44:37,280 --> 00:44:40,239
Speaker 1: with the Giants, because someone like Camille Daval, who was

855
00:44:40,280 --> 00:44:42,200
Speaker 1: the closer at one point, I think he's gonna have

856
00:44:42,200 --> 00:44:45,319
Speaker 1: a bounce back year. His metrics looked pretty good, but

857
00:44:45,680 --> 00:44:48,080
Speaker 1: he was having some trouble with his command last year.

858
00:44:48,320 --> 00:44:50,280
Speaker 1: But if the Giants are kind of in a place

859
00:44:50,360 --> 00:44:54,600
Speaker 1: where you know, they're not really fully in it, maybe

860
00:44:54,600 --> 00:44:57,840
Speaker 1: someone like Camille Daval could be available at some point.

861
00:44:58,080 --> 00:45:01,080
Speaker 1: Kyle Finnigan, he just returned to the Nationals on a

862
00:45:01,120 --> 00:45:04,440
Speaker 1: one year deal. You know, I'm not expecting the Nationals

863
00:45:04,480 --> 00:45:07,279
Speaker 1: to be competing, but if he's doing well, I could

864
00:45:07,320 --> 00:45:09,920
Speaker 1: see him being a possibility. But whatever, I'm going to

865
00:45:10,000 --> 00:45:13,200
Speaker 1: make that prediction. I think the Red Sox at some

866
00:45:13,280 --> 00:45:15,120
Speaker 1: point they're gonna want to bolster the back end of

867
00:45:15,160 --> 00:45:18,200
Speaker 1: the bullpen. I think someone like Helsley would be amazing.

868
00:45:18,440 --> 00:45:22,520
Speaker 1: You know, could you imagine Hellsley's your closer. Chatman and

869
00:45:22,680 --> 00:45:26,880
Speaker 1: Slayton are your setup guys, and then you got you know,

870
00:45:27,719 --> 00:45:32,280
Speaker 1: Hensricks and Whitlock and you know all these other guys

871
00:45:32,640 --> 00:45:34,840
Speaker 1: in the mix in that bullpen. We' what a nasty

872
00:45:34,880 --> 00:45:37,400
Speaker 1: bullpen that would be. But that's a prediction I got.

873
00:45:37,520 --> 00:45:40,759
Speaker 1: I think the Red Sox will add a closer at

874
00:45:40,760 --> 00:45:46,680
Speaker 1: some point. We'll see what happens next. Up. Well, Garrett Crochet,

875
00:45:46,920 --> 00:45:51,560
Speaker 1: Why is Garrett Croche on the screen? Ladies and gentlemen,

876
00:45:52,080 --> 00:45:55,359
Speaker 1: Ladies and gentlemen. I think Garrett Crochet is gonna win

877
00:45:55,400 --> 00:45:58,720
Speaker 1: the cy Young this year. I'm feeling pretty good about

878
00:45:58,719 --> 00:46:02,239
Speaker 1: mister Garrett Crochet. Hey, you gotta remember last year with

879
00:46:02,360 --> 00:46:05,360
Speaker 1: the White Sox, first year in the rotation after getting

880
00:46:05,400 --> 00:46:09,040
Speaker 1: Tommy John coming back from Tommy John, and it was

881
00:46:09,040 --> 00:46:11,520
Speaker 1: his first year in the rotation. This guy was an

882
00:46:11,560 --> 00:46:14,239
Speaker 1: absolute mad man last year. What he did in the

883
00:46:14,239 --> 00:46:15,880
Speaker 1: first half, he did fade a little bit in the

884
00:46:15,880 --> 00:46:17,400
Speaker 1: second half. I'll get to that in a second, but

885
00:46:17,800 --> 00:46:20,160
Speaker 1: the overall numbers of this guy put up last year

886
00:46:20,280 --> 00:46:24,920
Speaker 1: were phenomenal. Thirty two starts two point six' nine on

887
00:46:25,000 --> 00:46:27,560
Speaker 1: THE fip compared to a three point five to eight

888
00:46:27,920 --> 00:46:31,960
Speaker 1: on THE. ERA i buy THE fip more because The

889
00:46:32,000 --> 00:46:34,799
Speaker 1: White socks are just a bad, team bad, defense, right

890
00:46:34,840 --> 00:46:37,640
Speaker 1: that was not helping out behind. Him But i'm looking

891
00:46:37,640 --> 00:46:40,520
Speaker 1: at the strikeouts to walk. RATIO i, mean first, off

892
00:46:41,280 --> 00:46:43,720
Speaker 1: let's look at the strikeouts to walk ratio this. Spring

893
00:46:44,280 --> 00:46:48,960
Speaker 1: seventeen strikeouts per nine this. Spring that is absolutely. INSANE i,

894
00:46:48,960 --> 00:46:51,000
Speaker 1: MEAN i know it's, spring but holy, cow what are?

895
00:46:51,080 --> 00:46:51,360
Speaker 2: Number?

896
00:46:51,960 --> 00:46:54,680
Speaker 1: Now he actually did walk a few guys this, spring

897
00:46:55,239 --> 00:46:58,840
Speaker 1: four point six walks per. Nine that translated to eight

898
00:46:58,960 --> 00:47:02,360
Speaker 1: walks in fifteen and two thirds, Innings so he's gonna

899
00:47:02,400 --> 00:47:04,280
Speaker 1: clean that up a little. BIT i think he's probably

900
00:47:04,280 --> 00:47:06,440
Speaker 1: playing around with some, stuff trying to get guys to

901
00:47:06,560 --> 00:47:09,799
Speaker 1: chase on a few. Things, again it's, spring but with

902
00:47:09,920 --> 00:47:13,080
Speaker 1: the high amount of strikeouts this guy had last, year

903
00:47:14,080 --> 00:47:16,239
Speaker 1: and just the overall numbers that he put up on

904
00:47:16,280 --> 00:47:20,560
Speaker 1: a bad, team his first year in the, rotation first

905
00:47:20,640 --> 00:47:25,799
Speaker 1: year pitching After Tommy john and first year first time

906
00:47:25,960 --> 00:47:29,880
Speaker 1: not being a reliever in The major. Leagues the guy absolutely. Dominated,

907
00:47:30,000 --> 00:47:32,919
Speaker 1: yes he did fade in the second, half but you gotta,

908
00:47:32,960 --> 00:47:36,040
Speaker 1: remember LIKE i, said you, know just coming back FROM

909
00:47:36,040 --> 00:47:39,600
Speaker 1: tj first year in the, Rotation i'm not surprised he

910
00:47:39,640 --> 00:47:42,480
Speaker 1: had a little bit of fatigue going down the. Stretch you,

911
00:47:42,520 --> 00:47:44,800
Speaker 1: know stuff wasn't as. Crisp he was getting hit a

912
00:47:44,840 --> 00:47:47,879
Speaker 1: little bit. Harder that's. Okay he's had a full offseason

913
00:47:48,160 --> 00:47:51,240
Speaker 1: to get himself. Together it was a great spring trading

914
00:47:51,320 --> 00:47:54,040
Speaker 1: like we just. Saw you, KNOW i hope they get

915
00:47:54,040 --> 00:47:57,400
Speaker 1: an extension. Done that'd be, great that'd be very. Nice you,

916
00:47:57,440 --> 00:48:00,319
Speaker 1: know could that be a prediction in itself if you know,

917
00:48:00,360 --> 00:48:03,160
Speaker 1: What i'll say they get something done at some. Point

918
00:48:03,719 --> 00:48:06,560
Speaker 1: i'll work that prediction in here as, well THAT i

919
00:48:06,560 --> 00:48:09,600
Speaker 1: think they'll get something done, eventually you know. WHAT i

920
00:48:09,640 --> 00:48:12,319
Speaker 1: know he has, said you, know he would like to

921
00:48:13,080 --> 00:48:14,719
Speaker 1: if something gets, done he would like it to be

922
00:48:14,840 --> 00:48:17,640
Speaker 1: by opening. Day you, know you never, know maybe by

923
00:48:17,680 --> 00:48:20,759
Speaker 1: The All star, break maybe something could. Happen then maybe

924
00:48:20,800 --> 00:48:22,680
Speaker 1: The Red sox are kind of like waiting a little,

925
00:48:22,719 --> 00:48:25,360
Speaker 1: bit you, know see how he, goes see how it

926
00:48:25,400 --> 00:48:27,959
Speaker 1: goes in the first couple of, months and then maybe

927
00:48:27,960 --> 00:48:30,200
Speaker 1: they make a phone call during The All star, BREAK

928
00:48:30,400 --> 00:48:32,480
Speaker 1: i could see something like. THAT i think eventually an

929
00:48:32,520 --> 00:48:35,200
Speaker 1: extension will get, done BUT i think he will be

930
00:48:35,239 --> 00:48:37,080
Speaker 1: the Cy. YOUNG a lot of people are going with

931
00:48:37,520 --> 00:48:39,879
Speaker 1: a back to back year or back to back years

932
00:48:39,880 --> 00:48:44,319
Speaker 1: For Trek. Scooble If scoople's, healthy if he stays healthy this,

933
00:48:44,440 --> 00:48:46,239
Speaker 1: year yeah he's gonna have a real shot at. It

934
00:48:46,280 --> 00:48:50,120
Speaker 1: BUT i think Crochet, man this GUY i think is trending.

935
00:48:50,239 --> 00:48:53,920
Speaker 1: Up schooble is still gonna be dominant if, healthy BUT

936
00:48:54,000 --> 00:48:56,080
Speaker 1: i think Crochet, MAN i think he's going to get

937
00:48:56,160 --> 00:48:59,000
Speaker 1: big step forward this year with The Red. Sox the

938
00:48:59,080 --> 00:49:03,200

939
00:49:03,320 --> 00:49:04,839
Speaker 1: like this as, WELL i think that's gonna give him

940
00:49:04,840 --> 00:49:08,560
Speaker 1: a little extra pep in his. Step i'm excited For Garrett,

941

946
00:49:27,320 --> 00:49:29,040
Speaker 1: i don't know if they're gonna win The World, series

947
00:49:29,480 --> 00:49:33,880
Speaker 1: BUT i think they will in some shape or form

948
00:49:34,640 --> 00:49:38,759
Speaker 1: have success in the. Postseason well what does that? Mean

949
00:49:39,440 --> 00:49:41,600
Speaker 1: what does that? Mean, well you, know you never. Know

950
00:49:42,760 --> 00:49:44,960
Speaker 1: you never know how the postseason is gonna shake, out,

951
00:49:45,040 --> 00:49:48,560
Speaker 1: Right it's a crap. Shoot you just don't. Know right,

952
00:49:48,600 --> 00:49:52,719
Speaker 1: NOW i have The Red sox winning the. Division that

953
00:49:52,840 --> 00:49:55,560
Speaker 1: is gonna be an absolute dog fight until the very.

954
00:49:55,640 --> 00:49:57,680
Speaker 1: END i think The orioles is gonna be right. THERE

955
00:49:57,840 --> 00:50:01,319
Speaker 1: i think The yankees they'll find the their way in the,

956
00:50:01,320 --> 00:50:04,160
Speaker 1: mix even though they've Lost Errett Cole. Stanton who knows

957
00:50:04,200 --> 00:50:07,120
Speaker 1: what's going on with, Him judge if he ends up going.

958
00:50:07,160 --> 00:50:11,120
Speaker 1: Down you, Remember, judge he has had some, injuries you,

959
00:50:11,160 --> 00:50:14,600
Speaker 1: know you, Know, yes he's had some amazing seasons here

960
00:50:14,640 --> 00:50:17,799
Speaker 1: over the last few. Years But, judge remember at one

961
00:50:17,840 --> 00:50:21,520
Speaker 1: point was an injury risk him And Gean carlos staying

962
00:50:21,520 --> 00:50:23,680
Speaker 1: we're having trouble staying on the. Field so if anything

963
00:50:23,719 --> 00:50:28,080
Speaker 1: happens With, judge THEN i don't. Know The yankees are

964
00:50:28,120 --> 00:50:30,040
Speaker 1: in real. Trouble BUT i think in the, end The

965
00:50:30,160 --> 00:50:33,279
Speaker 1: yankees they're gonna figure it out and they'll be in

966
00:50:33,320 --> 00:50:35,240
Speaker 1: the mix in the. END i still have The yankees

967
00:50:35,400 --> 00:50:38,480
Speaker 1: as a wild card, team but when it comes to the,

968
00:50:38,520 --> 00:50:41,960
Speaker 1: division you never know what could, happen you, know especially

969
00:50:42,040 --> 00:50:44,120
Speaker 1: when you got this much. Competition and don't forget about

970
00:50:44,120 --> 00:50:46,879
Speaker 1: The Blue, jays, Right they've added some talent this. OFFSEASON

971
00:50:47,200 --> 00:50:50,120
Speaker 1: i think in the, end The Blue, Jays i'm not

972
00:50:50,120 --> 00:50:51,839
Speaker 1: too high on them this, year even though they did

973
00:50:51,840 --> 00:50:54,280
Speaker 1: do a lot this. Offseason and The rays they're always,

974
00:50:54,280 --> 00:50:56,880
Speaker 1: pesky so this is gonna be a tough. Division and The,

975
00:50:56,880 --> 00:51:00,239
Speaker 1: ORIOLES i know a lot of people are very very

976
00:51:00,320 --> 00:51:03,520
Speaker 1: low on that pitching. Staff and here's the, THING i

977
00:51:03,560 --> 00:51:08,000
Speaker 1: Think baltimore's pitching staff can actually surprise some people this. Year,

978
00:51:08,200 --> 00:51:11,960
Speaker 1: yes you don't Have Corbyn. Burns here's the one Thing

979
00:51:12,040 --> 00:51:14,360
Speaker 1: i've noticed over the. YEARS i feel like when everyone

980
00:51:14,480 --> 00:51:19,120
Speaker 1: focuses on one talking, POINT i feel like a lot

981
00:51:19,160 --> 00:51:22,480
Speaker 1: of the times it ends up kind of going the,

982
00:51:22,480 --> 00:51:25,680
Speaker 1: opposite you, know like go back to last. Year remember

983
00:51:25,719 --> 00:51:29,040
Speaker 1: The Red sox pitching. Staff last, year everyone was saying

984
00:51:29,040 --> 00:51:31,160
Speaker 1: how bad it, was and then like all of a,

985
00:51:31,200 --> 00:51:33,360
Speaker 1: sudden The Red sox had one of the best rotations

986
00:51:33,400 --> 00:51:36,400
Speaker 1: in the game at one, point right the bullpen just

987
00:51:36,440 --> 00:51:39,120
Speaker 1: completely blew up in the second. Half remember everyone was

988
00:51:39,120 --> 00:51:41,200
Speaker 1: talking about how good The Red sox pitching was last,

989
00:51:41,280 --> 00:51:43,920
Speaker 1: year and the offseason we were all begging For Jordan

990
00:51:43,960 --> 00:51:47,360
Speaker 1: montgomery to get signed because we had no, pitching you

991
00:51:47,440 --> 00:51:51,640
Speaker 1: know WHAT i. Mean so, yeah IT'S i feel like

992
00:51:51,680 --> 00:51:55,440
Speaker 1: whenever people focus on that one talking, point a lot

993
00:51:55,760 --> 00:51:58,480
Speaker 1: of the times you tend to see the opposite. HAPPEN

994
00:51:58,880 --> 00:52:01,480
Speaker 1: i think with The, Orioles, yeah they Lost Corbyn burns

995
00:52:01,600 --> 00:52:05,759
Speaker 1: and to replace, him you brought In Charlie, moore In Tomoyuki,

996
00:52:05,800 --> 00:52:11,600
Speaker 1: segano and, Yes Grayson. Rodriguez he's going through a bit

997
00:52:11,640 --> 00:52:14,839
Speaker 1: of another arm. Issue Grayson. Rodriguez my, goodness can that

998
00:52:14,840 --> 00:52:19,000
Speaker 1: guy please just stay. HEALTHY i think they're gonna figure

999
00:52:19,040 --> 00:52:21,560
Speaker 1: it out in the. END i Think eflyn remember this

1000
00:52:21,640 --> 00:52:23,400
Speaker 1: guy a couple of years, ago was very. Good he

1001
00:52:23,440 --> 00:52:26,360
Speaker 1: was starting a postseason game for The. Rays Charlie. Morten

1002
00:52:26,400 --> 00:52:28,280
Speaker 1: he's had a lot of. SUCCESS i know he's forty

1003
00:52:28,280 --> 00:52:31,120
Speaker 1: one years, old but the guy just keeps going and

1004
00:52:31,120 --> 00:52:33,880
Speaker 1: going and. Going at the very, least he's gonna be

1005
00:52:33,920 --> 00:52:37,759
Speaker 1: a guy that's gonna be a good veteran presence for

1006
00:52:37,840 --> 00:52:42,479
Speaker 1: this picturing. Staff kramer is, Fine he's gonna give you the. Innings, Kid.

1007
00:52:42,520 --> 00:52:44,879
Speaker 1: Povich he's a bit of a wild, card let's, see

1008
00:52:44,920 --> 00:52:47,480
Speaker 1: and not very good numbers last. Year BUT i think

1009
00:52:47,560 --> 00:52:50,359
Speaker 1: Kid povic could be a guy that ends up having some.

1010
00:52:50,400 --> 00:52:54,040
Speaker 1: Success young, lefty they're about to turn twenty five years.

1011
00:52:54,040 --> 00:52:56,680
Speaker 1: Old he had a decent spring, here you, know three

1012
00:52:56,680 --> 00:52:59,239
Speaker 1: point zero SEVEN era three point four to two on

1013
00:52:59,280 --> 00:53:02,520
Speaker 1: THE fip over nine strikeouts per, nine two point four

1014
00:53:02,560 --> 00:53:05,120
Speaker 1: walks per. NINE i Think povic could be a guy

1015
00:53:05,160 --> 00:53:07,719
Speaker 1: that could emerge this. Year but one guy got my

1016
00:53:07,760 --> 00:53:11,520
Speaker 1: eyes on Is Toma Yuki. SIGANO i feel Like sagano

1017
00:53:12,160 --> 00:53:14,480
Speaker 1: is a guy that no one's really thinking. ABOUT i

1018
00:53:14,480 --> 00:53:16,920
Speaker 1: think they look at the age and he's coming over From.

1019
00:53:17,000 --> 00:53:22,479
Speaker 1: JAPAN i, mean, LISTEN i don't think age is really

1020
00:53:22,480 --> 00:53:25,560
Speaker 1: that big of a, deal especially when you pay attention

1021
00:53:25,640 --> 00:53:27,839
Speaker 1: to the way he. Pitches he's not a guy that's

1022
00:53:27,840 --> 00:53:31,239
Speaker 1: gonna blow you away with stuff Like Roki, sasaki but

1023
00:53:31,320 --> 00:53:33,640
Speaker 1: he's a. Guy WHAT i like About Toma Yuki, sigano

1024
00:53:34,200 --> 00:53:37,160
Speaker 1: he's a. Guy he's like that classic kind of a. Picture,

1025
00:53:37,200 --> 00:53:40,200
Speaker 1: honestly he really reminds me a lot Of zach greenk

1026
00:53:40,560 --> 00:53:43,080
Speaker 1: a guy that's not gonna blow you away with, velocity

1027
00:53:43,440 --> 00:53:46,359
Speaker 1: but a guy that plays chess out there on the.

1028
00:53:46,400 --> 00:53:50,680
Speaker 1: Mound a guy that's gonna just, work work the, hitters,

1029
00:53:50,760 --> 00:53:53,240
Speaker 1: Right he's gonna go, inside he's gonna go, outside he's gonna,

1030
00:53:53,280 --> 00:53:56,400
Speaker 1: locate he's gonna you, know he's gonna throw different pitches

1031
00:53:56,440 --> 00:53:58,960
Speaker 1: in different. Situations the guy throws a ton of. Strikes

1032
00:53:59,000 --> 00:54:01,600
Speaker 1: he's a control. Artist that's why he reminds me a

1033
00:54:01,640 --> 00:54:04,719
Speaker 1: lot Of Zach. GRIENKY i Think sigano coming over From,

1034
00:54:04,800 --> 00:54:08,520
Speaker 1: japan you, know none of these guys have seen. HIM

1035
00:54:08,840 --> 00:54:11,160
Speaker 1: i think that's gonna take some, adjustment you, know for

1036
00:54:11,280 --> 00:54:13,840
Speaker 1: guys to really start picking up on the scouting report with.

1037
00:54:13,920 --> 00:54:16,239
Speaker 1: Him he's a guy THAT i think could have a

1038
00:54:16,360 --> 00:54:20,160
Speaker 1: very good first half for The orioles this year, again you,

1039
00:54:20,200 --> 00:54:24,520
Speaker 1: know BECAUSE i just think naturally they're gonna be, hitters

1040
00:54:24,520 --> 00:54:27,040
Speaker 1: are gonna be building these scouting reports on these, guys

1041
00:54:27,480 --> 00:54:29,600
Speaker 1: AND i Think, SIGANO i think he's gonna be a

1042
00:54:29,640 --> 00:54:34,000
Speaker 1: guy that uh surprises some people in the first. Half,

1043
00:54:34,120 --> 00:54:36,000
Speaker 1: again not gonna blow you away with, stuff but the

1044
00:54:36,000 --> 00:54:38,520
Speaker 1: guy knows how to, pitch and he has good enough

1045
00:54:38,560 --> 00:54:43,400
Speaker 1: stuff to get. By the real question, is you, Know Grayson,

1046
00:54:43,480 --> 00:54:46,120
Speaker 1: rodriguez is he is he gonna be back this. YEAR

1047
00:54:47,080 --> 00:54:49,719
Speaker 1: i don't. KNOW i for his, SAKE i hope he.

1048
00:54:49,800 --> 00:54:52,160
Speaker 1: IS i, mean the guy just keeps having arm. Problems

1049
00:54:52,200 --> 00:54:57,200
Speaker 1: it looks like he's gotten away with without any major structural.

1050
00:54:57,320 --> 00:55:00,440
Speaker 1: Damage so but The oriols are gonna wor him back slow,

1051
00:55:00,680 --> 00:55:03,319
Speaker 1: Right they're basically starting from the. Beginning but basically my

1052
00:55:03,360 --> 00:55:06,400
Speaker 1: point here, IS i think The orioles pitching staff is

1053
00:55:06,520 --> 00:55:09,239
Speaker 1: going to be better than you. Think and if they

1054
00:55:09,239 --> 00:55:13,239
Speaker 1: make a trade at the, deadline Maybe Sandy, alkintara maybe The.

1055
00:55:13,280 --> 00:55:16,040
Speaker 1: Padres they're in cell, mode maybe they moved in and

1056
00:55:16,200 --> 00:55:19,040
Speaker 1: See Michael, king AND i think The orioles they're gonna

1057
00:55:19,040 --> 00:55:23,200
Speaker 1: be a tough. TEAM i could really see This orioles team,

1058
00:55:23,239 --> 00:55:28,040
Speaker 1: giving you, know a very good run this, year because

1059
00:55:28,040 --> 00:55:30,319
Speaker 1: that lineup is still very, good their, bullpen they're Getting

1060
00:55:30,320 --> 00:55:32,879
Speaker 1: Felix batista. BACK i think this is a very real

1061
00:55:33,000 --> 00:55:35,200
Speaker 1: chance The orioles win the. DIVISION i did go with

1062
00:55:35,200 --> 00:55:37,880
Speaker 1: The Red sox WHEN i came out with my predictions

1063
00:55:37,880 --> 00:55:42,120
Speaker 1: a couple of days. Ago but you know What i'm gonna,

1064
00:55:42,200 --> 00:55:44,520
Speaker 1: lean you, know with The Red, sox whatever it may,

1065
00:55:44,560 --> 00:55:47,520
Speaker 1: be whether they win the division or get a wild.

1066
00:55:47,520 --> 00:55:49,960
Speaker 1: CARD i think The Red sox are going to have.

1067
00:55:50,000 --> 00:55:52,480
Speaker 1: SUCCESS i think if they win that, DIVISION i think

1068
00:55:52,480 --> 00:55:54,879
Speaker 1: they'll find a way to get by the first round.

1069
00:55:55,000 --> 00:55:57,840
Speaker 1: SOMEHOW i Think Garrett, CROCHET i think he's, gonna you,

1070
00:55:57,840 --> 00:56:01,040
Speaker 1: know very least he'll have a let's say he pitches

1071
00:56:01,080 --> 00:56:03,680
Speaker 1: in a wild card game or pitches like game one

1072
00:56:03,680 --> 00:56:06,399
Speaker 1: of the division. ROUND i think that adrenaline is gonna

1073
00:56:06,400 --> 00:56:08,680
Speaker 1: be huge for, him AND i think he'll end up

1074
00:56:09,400 --> 00:56:12,920
Speaker 1: really helping out whatever that whatever first round it ends

1075
00:56:13,000 --> 00:56:15,799
Speaker 1: up being for The Red sox Wild Card, division and,

1076
00:56:15,920 --> 00:56:18,680
Speaker 1: UH i think The Red sox they're gonna they're just

1077
00:56:18,680 --> 00:56:22,440
Speaker 1: gonna have some good momentum going in. Now the FARTHEST

1078
00:56:22,480 --> 00:56:25,239
Speaker 1: i have The Red sox going is The American League.

1079
00:56:25,320 --> 00:56:28,120
Speaker 1: CHAMPIONSHIP i know The American league is pretty wide open

1080
00:56:28,600 --> 00:56:31,640
Speaker 1: at this. Point but one team THAT i really like

1081
00:56:32,120 --> 00:56:36,200
Speaker 1: this year or The Texas. RANGERS i just really like that.

1082
00:56:36,239 --> 00:56:39,480
Speaker 1: TEAM i just think they got just a good mix

1083
00:56:39,520 --> 00:56:44,800
Speaker 1: of just, talent just. Ballplayers you, know they just got

1084
00:56:44,880 --> 00:56:47,000
Speaker 1: some kind of a vibe to him at least right.

1085
00:56:47,040 --> 00:56:49,200
Speaker 1: Now you never know how things can turn, out BUT

1086
00:56:49,719 --> 00:56:51,759
Speaker 1: i just love they Got they brought in a guy

1087
00:56:51,800 --> 00:56:55,759
Speaker 1: Like Jack, peterson that guy meshes with just any team out,

1088
00:56:55,800 --> 00:56:59,799
Speaker 1: there you, know just a just a dude just likes

1089
00:56:59,800 --> 00:57:02,279
Speaker 1: the hit the frickin', baseball hit the crap out of,

1090
00:57:02,320 --> 00:57:03,880

1091
00:57:03,960 --> 00:57:07,160
Speaker 1: guys Like seeger And semi And White, LANGFORD i think

1092
00:57:07,160 --> 00:57:10,120
Speaker 1: he's gonna have a monster. Year i'm expecting big things from.

1093
00:57:10,200 --> 00:57:13,920
Speaker 1: Him and if The gram is, healthy that's a BIG

1094
00:57:14,080 --> 00:57:17,000
Speaker 1: x factor, here you, know The. Grom if he stays,

1095
00:57:17,040 --> 00:57:20,200
Speaker 1: healthy that's gonna be. Huge, evaldi we all Love Nathan.

1096
00:57:20,200 --> 00:57:24,439
Speaker 1: Evaldi they completely overhauled that bullpen this. OFFSEASON i don't

1097
00:57:24,480 --> 00:57:27,680
Speaker 1: know right. NOW i just like the way The rangers

1098
00:57:27,760 --> 00:57:31,560
Speaker 1: look AND i, think you, know if everything goes, ACCORDINGLY

1099
00:57:32,760 --> 00:57:35,000
Speaker 1: i think that. Team if The Red sox run into

1100
00:57:35,040 --> 00:57:38,400
Speaker 1: The rangers in the, POSTSEASON i think that could be a,

1101
00:57:38,440 --> 00:57:41,000
Speaker 1: tough very tough. Matchup we're gonna seeing them An Opening,

1102
00:57:41,080 --> 00:57:43,000
Speaker 1: day so that could be a bit of a. PREVIEW

1103
00:57:43,240 --> 00:57:45,000
Speaker 1: i did have The Red sox and The rangers in

1104
00:57:45,040 --> 00:57:49,680
Speaker 1: The American League Championship series in my. Predictions we'll see

1105
00:57:49,720 --> 00:57:53,240
Speaker 1: how that. Goes but The, orioles, man you, KNOW i

1106
00:57:53,480 --> 00:57:55,000
Speaker 1: think that could be a team that could win this.

1107
00:57:55,080 --> 00:57:57,480
Speaker 1: DIVISION i feel like The yankees in the end will

1108
00:57:57,520 --> 00:58:02,240
Speaker 1: be a wildcard. Team, well, again you just never know

1109
00:58:02,520 --> 00:58:04,280
Speaker 1: how this is gonna work. OUT i don't think The

1110
00:58:04,280 --> 00:58:06,160
Speaker 1: Red sox are gonna go to The World. SERIES i

1111
00:58:06,200 --> 00:58:09,080
Speaker 1: hate saying. THAT i would love for them. TOO i

1112
00:58:09,080 --> 00:58:11,320
Speaker 1: Hope i'm. Wrong that'd be great if they can do.

1113
00:58:11,400 --> 00:58:14,200
Speaker 1: IT i think right, now The Red sox they make

1114
00:58:14,240 --> 00:58:17,560
Speaker 1: it to the wildcard. Round i'll say, This if The

1115
00:58:17,600 --> 00:58:21,160
Speaker 1: Red sox make it to The wildcard, ROUND i think

1116
00:58:21,240 --> 00:58:23,840
Speaker 1: they'll probably get knocked out in the division. ROUND i

1117
00:58:23,840 --> 00:58:26,640
Speaker 1: think if you Lose crochet and whoever they go with

1118
00:58:26,640 --> 00:58:29,400
Speaker 1: In game, TWO i think that's gonna be a that's

1119
00:58:29,440 --> 00:58:31,800
Speaker 1: gonna be tough going to the division. Round let's say

1120
00:58:31,800 --> 00:58:33,680
Speaker 1: they win the Division let's say they're a top two,

1121
00:58:33,680 --> 00:58:37,640
Speaker 1: team one of the top two seeds they get and

1122
00:58:37,680 --> 00:58:41,680
Speaker 1: they get a. Bye then the division. Round, YEAH i mean,

1123
00:58:41,720 --> 00:58:44,360
Speaker 1: AGAIN i think if you have guys Like, Crochet buell

1124
00:58:44,440 --> 00:58:47,360
Speaker 1: or HOW i, mean, yeah that's gonna be. Massive the

1125
00:58:47,400 --> 00:58:50,360
Speaker 1: one THING i worry about With crochet a little bit

1126
00:58:50,440 --> 00:58:55,680
Speaker 1: for a deep postseason run, Is, yes he did get

1127
00:58:55,680 --> 00:58:58,080
Speaker 1: a lot of innings under his belt this past, year

1128
00:58:59,240 --> 00:59:02,120
Speaker 1: but he's gonna to pitch more ratings this coming. Year,

1129
00:59:02,400 --> 00:59:04,919
Speaker 1: right let's say he gets one hundred eighty, innings that's

1130
00:59:04,920 --> 00:59:06,920
Speaker 1: gonna be a career high for, him and then he's

1131
00:59:06,920 --> 00:59:09,720
Speaker 1: gonna be pitching more in the. Postseason SO i just,

1132
00:59:09,880 --> 00:59:12,800
Speaker 1: wonder from like a fatigue point of, view if that

1133
00:59:12,840 --> 00:59:16,000
Speaker 1: could be an. ISSUE i think, adrenaline you, know whether

1134
00:59:16,040 --> 00:59:19,800
Speaker 1: that's a wildcard start or a division round game, ONE

1135
00:59:20,400 --> 00:59:23,960
Speaker 1: i think that could really carry you, know him in that.

1136
00:59:24,040 --> 00:59:27,120
Speaker 1: Situation but THEN i think once things settle, IN i

1137
00:59:27,160 --> 00:59:30,400
Speaker 1: do wonder if that could be an issue for a

1138
00:59:30,480 --> 00:59:33,440
Speaker 1: deep postseason. Run it's kind of the WAY i look at.

1139
00:59:33,440 --> 00:59:35,920
Speaker 1: IT i would love for The Red sox get to

1140
00:59:35,960 --> 00:59:38,120
Speaker 1: The World, series but in the, END i feel like

1141
00:59:38,200 --> 00:59:42,160
Speaker 1: they're not gonna fully get. There you. Know Hope i'm.

1142
00:59:42,160 --> 00:59:44,720
Speaker 1: Wrong Hope i'm. Wrong it'll be amazing if they can do.

1143
00:59:44,800 --> 00:59:47,000
Speaker 1: IT i think they have a very good. TEAM i

1144
00:59:47,000 --> 00:59:50,440
Speaker 1: think The Red sox do make the postseason in twenty twenty,

1145
00:59:50,440 --> 00:59:54,760
Speaker 1: five whether that's a wildcard or as a division. Winner

1146
00:59:54,880 --> 00:59:56,800
Speaker 1: but we'll just have to wait and see on, that
