0:01:27.400 --> 0:01:30.040

0:01:40.200 --> 0:01:42.039
<v Speaker 1>was actually really excited to see medals in a bet.

0:01:42.480 --> 0:01:45.720
<v Speaker 1>And then then that's when a cop postponed very sad

0:01:46.560 --> 0:01:50.760
<v Speaker 1>sight fring training Yankee start tomorrow. How you feeling, Greg,

0:01:50.800 --> 0:01:53.680
<v Speaker 1>How did you sleep last night? You're not gonna believe this.

0:01:54.400 --> 0:01:57.760
<v Speaker 1>It's great, it's so fun. Yeah, that's a lie. I

0:01:57.880 --> 0:02:00.040
<v Speaker 1>was like, not high. We wake up at three? I

0:02:00.040 --> 0:02:01.520
<v Speaker 1>woke up with two thirty and I was like, I'm

0:02:01.560 --> 0:02:04.160
<v Speaker 1>like a week. I went back to bed. Whatever, he's

0:02:04.200 --> 0:02:09.680
<v Speaker 1>why a wig? I gotta tell you do a funny story. Actually, um,

0:02:09.720 --> 0:02:11.560
<v Speaker 1>I woke up with my My alarm went off six thirty.

0:02:11.560 --> 0:02:16.280
<v Speaker 1>I woke up right, had a notification from American Express.

0:02:18.040 --> 0:02:21.720
<v Speaker 1>I was charged from Chewy dot com. No, dude, I

0:02:21.760 --> 0:02:25.400
<v Speaker 1>lost it on American Express. This Morner. The saga continues,

0:02:25.840 --> 0:02:29.160
<v Speaker 1>I lost it on this morning. This one was Henry,

0:02:29.320 --> 0:02:37.440
<v Speaker 1>Henry exist Greg my Mary Express card that was canceled

0:02:38.040 --> 0:02:41.440
<v Speaker 1>in January. I lost my mind. So they go, is

0:02:41.440 --> 0:02:43.959
<v Speaker 1>this gonna end up affecting your credit? I hope not.

0:02:44.120 --> 0:02:46.920
<v Speaker 1>Why should it will it? I don't like if there's

0:02:46.919 --> 0:02:51.080
<v Speaker 1>transactions that are being paid for and you're not paying

0:02:51.120 --> 0:02:53.079
<v Speaker 1>them off well, they're not paid for. I can't immediately

0:02:53.160 --> 0:02:58.560
<v Speaker 1>get them off the card. I hope. So I tell's

0:02:58.600 --> 0:03:01.880
<v Speaker 1>credit Undo. So I tell him Mary Expressed and their sponsor.

0:03:01.919 --> 0:03:03.560
<v Speaker 1>He was all right, So we'll make sure that there's

0:03:03.560 --> 0:03:06.560
<v Speaker 1>no charges on that car and going forward. You canceled

0:03:06.560 --> 0:03:08.919
<v Speaker 1>the card a month ago. Why would there be charging?

0:03:08.960 --> 0:03:11.720
<v Speaker 1>Why would I want charges on that card going forward? Well,

0:03:11.760 --> 0:03:13.959
<v Speaker 1>sometimes like people don't change them, Like you receive a

0:03:14.000 --> 0:03:16.880
<v Speaker 1>notification from like Amazon, Uber or something like that, and

0:03:16.960 --> 0:03:21.000
<v Speaker 1>you charge the card. I go, what, I won't charge

0:03:21.080 --> 0:03:24.400
<v Speaker 1>that car because I don't have it anymore. It was

0:03:24.520 --> 0:03:32.000
<v Speaker 1>canceled for fraud. I'm sorry, Greg. I was so angry.

0:03:32.080 --> 0:03:34.840
<v Speaker 1>And so then the end of the conversation Friday morning

0:03:34.880 --> 0:03:38.000
<v Speaker 1>here for Greg Susmania. So we ended the conversation with

0:03:38.680 --> 0:03:41.720
<v Speaker 1>h we try to file a complaints, sir, I go, yes, yes,

0:03:41.800 --> 0:03:45.040
<v Speaker 1>I want to file a complaint. This is a joke.

0:03:46.720 --> 0:03:50.400
<v Speaker 1>American Express. Man, American Express, you know what is it

0:03:50.440 --> 0:03:54.600
<v Speaker 1>their fault? Though, it's their fault that my canceled credit

0:03:54.640 --> 0:03:57.800
<v Speaker 1>card for fraud is still getting charged, Like that should

0:03:57.800 --> 0:04:01.000
<v Speaker 1>not be able to be used anymore. But what if

0:04:01.000 --> 0:04:04.800
<v Speaker 1>the people who are hacking your card and your identity,

0:04:04.840 --> 0:04:08.720
<v Speaker 1>Greg or like jumping through like all these loopholes and

0:04:08.720 --> 0:04:11.480
<v Speaker 1>it's not American Express as fault, keep charging Chewy dot com.

0:04:11.560 --> 0:04:14.320
<v Speaker 1>So I don't know. I love that it's a place, Sue,

0:04:14.720 --> 0:04:19.720
<v Speaker 1>it's ridiculous dot com check it out. Yeah, um, I

0:04:19.760 --> 0:04:24.159
<v Speaker 1>will say this, Frank, My morning definitely had supplies looking

0:04:24.200 --> 0:04:28.200
<v Speaker 1>at it right now. Um my morning is still going

0:04:28.240 --> 0:04:31.680
<v Speaker 1>better than Bob Craft's Morning Guy is going too soon? Greg?

0:04:31.880 --> 0:04:34.960
<v Speaker 1>Is it? Is it? I don't know what's the latest?

0:04:34.960 --> 0:04:37.160
<v Speaker 1>What do you got? Greg's named in the prostitution ring

0:04:38.560 --> 0:04:41.400
<v Speaker 1>to the surprise of who though I know that these

0:04:41.400 --> 0:04:44.800
<v Speaker 1>guys are held to a high standard, but he's like

0:04:45.160 --> 0:04:47.760
<v Speaker 1>seventy he might even be older than that. He's like

0:04:47.839 --> 0:04:51.200
<v Speaker 1>seventy years old, something that I think every time he

0:04:51.240 --> 0:04:55.840
<v Speaker 1>accepts the Lombardi Trophy he's hammered. He he has a

0:04:55.960 --> 0:04:59.839
<v Speaker 1>care at this point, I mean, like, yea, you you

0:05:00.040 --> 0:05:02.599
<v Speaker 1>obviously he had his wife passed away, has had a

0:05:02.600 --> 0:05:06.560
<v Speaker 1>girlfriend for a while at thirty nine, does at eleven

0:05:06.640 --> 0:05:09.240
<v Speaker 1>or twelve? So since then, since then he's been dating

0:05:09.600 --> 0:05:11.720
<v Speaker 1>an actress who's like thirty nine years younger than him

0:05:11.800 --> 0:05:14.719
<v Speaker 1>or something like that. I'm not advocating prostitution by any means.

0:05:15.400 --> 0:05:18.600
<v Speaker 1>But he's eighty years old, so he needs that. He

0:05:18.640 --> 0:05:21.839
<v Speaker 1>has a girl his wife. He needed a girlfriend just

0:05:21.880 --> 0:05:26.280
<v Speaker 1>like a not given what he needs? What happened the

0:05:26.279 --> 0:05:28.320
<v Speaker 1>girl friend? How oldes? His girlfriend's probably thirty years just

0:05:28.320 --> 0:05:30.080
<v Speaker 1>said thirty nine years younger than him. He's seventy nine.

0:05:30.120 --> 0:05:34.520
<v Speaker 1>That makes her forty, right, Yeah, I mean this should

0:05:34.560 --> 0:05:37.719
<v Speaker 1>surprise nobody. That's basically all say it. I mean, but

0:05:37.760 --> 0:05:39.800
<v Speaker 1>what if like Gronk was in a prostitution really wouldn't

0:05:39.920 --> 0:05:42.880
<v Speaker 1>be like a huge deal, Like he's the owner of

0:05:42.880 --> 0:05:46.159
<v Speaker 1>the team. Yeah, but he's also like almost eighty years

0:05:46.680 --> 0:05:49.200
<v Speaker 1>make it right, understand he broke the law. I mean,

0:05:49.320 --> 0:05:53.080
<v Speaker 1>whatever is he really gonna like do time? I don't know,

0:05:53.200 --> 0:05:55.320
<v Speaker 1>of course not probably not now. And he can get

0:05:55.440 --> 0:05:57.320
<v Speaker 1>he can get me Bronc. I mean, would it really

0:05:57.760 --> 0:05:59.920
<v Speaker 1>it would surprise me if Gronk because he doesn't if

0:06:00.000 --> 0:06:02.599
<v Speaker 1>he could get really need prostitution. If he can get

0:06:02.680 --> 0:06:06.280
<v Speaker 1>Meek free, he probably can himself free. It'll be fine.

0:06:06.320 --> 0:06:08.320
<v Speaker 1>I'm sure. I'm sure Robert Craft will be just fine.

0:06:08.360 --> 0:06:13.719
<v Speaker 1>Greg what a worse morning, Robert Craft or Gregg Robert Craft?

0:06:13.839 --> 0:06:16.400
<v Speaker 1>I don't think so. I wasn't arrested. You know who

0:06:16.440 --> 0:06:20.440
<v Speaker 1>really had a worse morning than me? Um, that would

0:06:20.480 --> 0:06:24.440
<v Speaker 1>be Rob at American Express or Samuel's. I'm sorry, I

0:06:24.440 --> 0:06:26.680
<v Speaker 1>would be Samuel an American Expressed. Was the person you're

0:06:27.160 --> 0:06:29.800
<v Speaker 1>Samuel was the supervisor who I was yelling at, whose

0:06:29.800 --> 0:06:33.640
<v Speaker 1>phone kept dropping out and just moing more in range.

0:06:33.680 --> 0:06:36.840
<v Speaker 1>That's how I started as soon as I connected. They

0:06:36.880 --> 0:06:38.840
<v Speaker 1>can I help you? Yeah, I'll talk You're supervisor. Please,

0:06:39.200 --> 0:06:43.120
<v Speaker 1>I'm sure I can help you, sir, I go. You cannot, damn,

0:06:44.400 --> 0:06:47.599
<v Speaker 1>there would be so mean about it. Greg, my credit

0:06:47.600 --> 0:06:50.360
<v Speaker 1>card which was canceled for fraud a month ago. It's

0:06:50.360 --> 0:06:52.719
<v Speaker 1>still being charged. Yeah, but is it's Samuel's fault. No,

0:06:52.839 --> 0:06:55.359
<v Speaker 1>but it's his company's fault and he represents the company.

0:06:55.760 --> 0:07:00.400
<v Speaker 1>I guess, sorry, Sammy. What it is Today? On the program,

0:07:00.440 --> 0:07:04.280
<v Speaker 1>we're going over short stops here and well Chris Mention

0:07:04.360 --> 0:07:06.560
<v Speaker 1>joint program our number two to break down the position

0:07:06.720 --> 0:07:10.200
<v Speaker 1>with us. And this is a really interesting one, very interesting.

0:07:10.800 --> 0:07:13.240
<v Speaker 1>Lots of wild cards here, that's a good word for it.

0:07:13.640 --> 0:07:15.520
<v Speaker 1>This is the wild card position. The wild card position.

0:07:15.920 --> 0:07:18.280
<v Speaker 1>Everyone talks about the shortstop position like it's so deep.

0:07:18.320 --> 0:07:19.960
<v Speaker 1>That's what you hear a lot of people talk about

0:07:20.360 --> 0:07:23.040
<v Speaker 1>the short stop position is deep. You know, there's got

0:07:23.040 --> 0:07:24.480
<v Speaker 1>a lot of guys you can find in the middle

0:07:24.560 --> 0:07:27.680
<v Speaker 1>rounds and stuff. Yeah, but there's a lot of risk

0:07:27.760 --> 0:07:29.920
<v Speaker 1>involved with these guys too. Like I'm I'm looking at

0:07:29.960 --> 0:07:33.640
<v Speaker 1>the list. Lindor calls Korea, Corey Seekers just three names

0:07:33.680 --> 0:07:36.440
<v Speaker 1>off the bat right right. Huge injury risks, all have

0:07:36.560 --> 0:07:41.280
<v Speaker 1>huge upside, especially Lindor nine runs scored last year for

0:07:41.360 --> 0:07:44.440
<v Speaker 1>first with Mookie debts when I you know, look a

0:07:44.520 --> 0:07:46.480
<v Speaker 1>lot of the times when we play fantasy baseball, towards

0:07:46.480 --> 0:07:47.640
<v Speaker 1>the end of the season, we start looking at the

0:07:47.680 --> 0:07:50.400
<v Speaker 1>fantasy football, I mean it happens to everybody, right. I

0:07:50.480 --> 0:07:54.120
<v Speaker 1>really did not know what Francisco Lindoor's final line was

0:07:54.680 --> 0:07:58.040
<v Speaker 1>until I looked at up recently. He's incredible, He's ridiculous.

0:07:58.600 --> 0:08:00.880
<v Speaker 1>But I'm kind of worried about this. So the thing

0:08:01.040 --> 0:08:03.800
<v Speaker 1>is knowing where, knowing where I draft. I'm trying to

0:08:03.800 --> 0:08:05.840
<v Speaker 1>figure out who my shortstop will be. I was looking

0:08:05.840 --> 0:08:08.240
<v Speaker 1>at the list this morning. I have no idea. I

0:08:08.240 --> 0:08:09.840
<v Speaker 1>have no idea who my shorts that will end up

0:08:09.840 --> 0:08:11.640
<v Speaker 1>being this year. Yeah, I mean I have a few.

0:08:11.640 --> 0:08:14.360
<v Speaker 1>I have a few targets. Like to me, there's there's

0:08:14.440 --> 0:08:17.440
<v Speaker 1>a top twelve shortstops right right, and then the tier

0:08:17.560 --> 0:08:21.560
<v Speaker 1>right after that, like my thirteen fourteen, fifteen or Jose Peraza,

0:08:21.600 --> 0:08:25.280
<v Speaker 1>Paul DeJong, de Young and Tim Anderson. Process was my

0:08:25.320 --> 0:08:27.160
<v Speaker 1>guy last year. But do you really want any of

0:08:27.200 --> 0:08:29.440
<v Speaker 1>those guys that you're starting shorts now? So actually want

0:08:29.440 --> 0:08:31.080
<v Speaker 1>those guys in your middle, and so I started process

0:08:31.080 --> 0:08:33.680
<v Speaker 1>by starting short stop all season for the I don't

0:08:33.679 --> 0:08:35.920
<v Speaker 1>think this position is as deep as everyone once Corey

0:08:35.960 --> 0:08:39.240
<v Speaker 1>Seeger went down last year. It's deep with middle infield options,

0:08:39.240 --> 0:08:41.000
<v Speaker 1>and that's what people are talking about when when they

0:08:41.040 --> 0:08:43.960
<v Speaker 1>see deep. I don't think it's deep with like starting talent.

0:08:44.120 --> 0:08:47.360
<v Speaker 1>You guy with Elvis Ingers and well, I've kind of backtracked.

0:08:48.640 --> 0:08:51.960
<v Speaker 1>You're gonna you can be all over as Jubil, aren't you.

0:08:52.080 --> 0:08:55.280
<v Speaker 1>Let's give you a guy I really like his just

0:08:55.320 --> 0:09:00.160
<v Speaker 1>because of the reposition eligibility Hit two seventy five with

0:09:00.160 --> 0:09:03.320
<v Speaker 1>twenty homers. They'll tell you what one. Basically, they tell

0:09:03.360 --> 0:09:05.600

0:09:05.679 --> 0:09:09.839
<v Speaker 1>what Kettle Marte, I ked Marte, I like Wilver Floras.

0:09:10.160 --> 0:09:12.679
<v Speaker 1>You know we're taking over Flora Oh yeah, that's that's

0:09:12.679 --> 0:09:14.480
<v Speaker 1>who you decided that we're gonna take. Yes, I do

0:09:14.520 --> 0:09:18.640
<v Speaker 1>like over Flora's let's fine hit like to seventy homers. Right, great,

0:09:19.960 --> 0:09:22.080

0:09:34.480 --> 0:09:37.559
<v Speaker 1>like it causes a damn thing love it? Okay, So

0:09:37.840 --> 0:09:39.760
<v Speaker 1>it's a buck bash if I ever heard one in auction?

0:09:40.280 --> 0:09:44.880
<v Speaker 1>My man ian Con hopefully not listening. So I got

0:09:45.000 --> 0:09:46.920
<v Speaker 1>I got a nice text about ian Con today. My

0:09:46.920 --> 0:09:49.240
<v Speaker 1>buddies listened to the podcast. I mean Ian's great show.

0:09:49.440 --> 0:09:51.040
<v Speaker 1>He said, did you just get my text? Like a

0:09:51.040 --> 0:09:53.520
<v Speaker 1>week ago? Ian Con has a fan in me? Great,

0:09:53.720 --> 0:09:57.000
<v Speaker 1>he said, like you know you get him on next week? Definitely?

0:09:57.360 --> 0:10:02.080
<v Speaker 1>What do you want the sooner the better, bad venture? Monday, Monday,

0:10:02.120 --> 0:10:03.679
<v Speaker 1>I'll ask I'll texting after the show and asked him,

0:10:03.679 --> 0:10:06.439
<v Speaker 1>like one day next week he's available, make make make

0:10:06.480 --> 0:10:10.640
<v Speaker 1>him make the decision. Oh Modico mon day No, So

0:10:10.679 --> 0:10:11.960
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if it's just going to be a

0:10:11.960 --> 0:10:13.760
<v Speaker 1>segment or if Modico wants to come on for a

0:10:13.760 --> 0:10:16.040
<v Speaker 1>whole hour. I mean he's more than welcome to do

0:10:16.080 --> 0:10:18.600
<v Speaker 1>whatever he wants. Yeah, Well, We'll try and get more

0:10:18.640 --> 0:10:21.360
<v Speaker 1>do any day, but not Monday free and cone perfect.

0:10:22.800 --> 0:10:26.640
<v Speaker 1>So my goal today is to find a starting shortstop,

0:10:26.960 --> 0:10:29.080
<v Speaker 1>is to figure out who I'm going to draft as

0:10:29.120 --> 0:10:31.800
<v Speaker 1>my as my short stop target. That's hard Get, that's

0:10:31.800 --> 0:10:34.719
<v Speaker 1>Haard gets whatever. And let's start at the top, which

0:10:34.800 --> 0:10:36.880
<v Speaker 1>is where the intrigue begins. And I know who started

0:10:36.920 --> 0:10:38.840
<v Speaker 1>at the top each and every day and tried to compare,

0:10:39.000 --> 0:10:41.640
<v Speaker 1>all right, who should go first? This guy or this guy? Well,

0:10:41.679 --> 0:10:44.559
<v Speaker 1>theoretically like Francisco Lindor is the best shortstop on the board.

0:10:45.320 --> 0:10:47.200
<v Speaker 1>The problem is he may not be out there on

0:10:47.360 --> 0:10:51.760
<v Speaker 1>opening day and this injury may recur. And then you're thinking,

0:10:52.920 --> 0:10:57.040
<v Speaker 1>now what do I do, Frank, What is Francisco Lindor's injury?

0:10:57.080 --> 0:10:58.920
<v Speaker 1>And why don't you remind all of us listening and

0:10:59.200 --> 0:11:05.240
<v Speaker 1>watching exactly how long Dr A said this could linger? YEA,

0:11:05.320 --> 0:11:07.959
<v Speaker 1>So Francisco Lindora's dealing with a cash strain. He was

0:11:08.040 --> 0:11:12.240
<v Speaker 1>diagnosed early February. The initial timetable with seven to nine weeks,

0:11:12.240 --> 0:11:14.760
<v Speaker 1>and you know that timetable right off the bat tells

0:11:14.800 --> 0:11:16.560
<v Speaker 1>me that you know this was not just some kind

0:11:16.600 --> 0:11:20.600
<v Speaker 1>of slight routine cash strain. This was a pretty legitimate

0:11:20.640 --> 0:11:23.520
<v Speaker 1>cash strain here. So seven to nine weeks puts him

0:11:23.520 --> 0:11:26.240
<v Speaker 1>at you know, right around the end of March early April.

0:11:26.320 --> 0:11:27.960
<v Speaker 1>You know, you could miss the first you know, week

0:11:28.080 --> 0:11:29.920
<v Speaker 1>or two of the season and he can come back

0:11:29.920 --> 0:11:32.840
<v Speaker 1>and be awesome or based on what Dr A said,

0:11:32.840 --> 0:11:34.920
<v Speaker 1>and you know, pretty much what I thought Dr would

0:11:34.920 --> 0:11:39.000
<v Speaker 1>say is, you know, cash strains, especially if you've ever

0:11:39.040 --> 0:11:41.520
<v Speaker 1>had one, you know, if your home listening or watching it,

0:11:41.559 --> 0:11:44.960
<v Speaker 1>if you've ever had a cash strain, they suck like

0:11:45.080 --> 0:11:47.080
<v Speaker 1>they make it hard to walk of course, let alone

0:11:47.160 --> 0:11:50.920
<v Speaker 1>run a professional sport. That's a fine steal basis. And

0:11:50.920 --> 0:11:53.520
<v Speaker 1>that was really something that Doc hit on was you

0:11:53.559 --> 0:11:55.640
<v Speaker 1>know when he talks about wide receivers in the NFL

0:11:55.679 --> 0:11:58.120
<v Speaker 1>and he talks about hamstring, right, Like hamstring is the

0:11:58.160 --> 0:12:00.000
<v Speaker 1>initial muscle that you need to get off the line

0:12:00.000 --> 0:12:03.280
<v Speaker 1>a scrimmage that gives you that acceleration and burst. He

0:12:03.400 --> 0:12:06.520
<v Speaker 1>said with Francisco Lindor when you're trying to steal bases,

0:12:06.920 --> 0:12:08.880
<v Speaker 1>you know that lateral kind of quickness that you need,

0:12:08.880 --> 0:12:11.559
<v Speaker 1>that initial jump that you need to steal bases. A

0:12:11.600 --> 0:12:15.719
<v Speaker 1>lot of that comes from your calves. So especially a

0:12:15.760 --> 0:12:18.760
<v Speaker 1>guy that you know you want to steal basis for you.

0:12:20.160 --> 0:12:22.520
<v Speaker 1>Not only is he gonna be at risk not to

0:12:22.559 --> 0:12:25.040
<v Speaker 1>come close to that again, but he's going to be

0:12:25.080 --> 0:12:26.719
<v Speaker 1>at a higher injury risks because he is a guy

0:12:26.720 --> 0:12:28.640
<v Speaker 1>who likes to run and that he is going to

0:12:28.720 --> 0:12:31.800
<v Speaker 1>need that you know, kind of jump, that acceleration and

0:12:31.920 --> 0:12:33.560
<v Speaker 1>you know, something that he's gonna need from his calf

0:12:33.640 --> 0:12:36.400
<v Speaker 1>muscles there. So it worries me, you know, much of

0:12:36.600 --> 0:12:38.960
<v Speaker 1>much of his value I'm projecting him. I wouldn't protect

0:12:39.040 --> 0:12:40.800
<v Speaker 1>him for more than fifteen stolen basis. Much of his

0:12:40.880 --> 0:12:45.440
<v Speaker 1>value comes from those legs, that ability to run. And

0:12:45.960 --> 0:12:50.040
<v Speaker 1>even when he's back in April, hopefully he's just not

0:12:50.040 --> 0:12:52.240
<v Speaker 1>gonna start running. It's just not gonna happen. He's gotta

0:12:52.240 --> 0:12:54.000
<v Speaker 1>get his legs under him. He's gotta get ready and

0:12:54.080 --> 0:12:55.760
<v Speaker 1>he's available to go to in the nine weeks. That's

0:12:55.800 --> 0:12:59.000
<v Speaker 1>without a spring training. So before he really kicks in

0:12:59.040 --> 0:13:03.400
<v Speaker 1>his high gear, wow, you've already lost couple of months.

0:13:03.800 --> 0:13:06.000
<v Speaker 1>And at that point the question becomes, man, if I

0:13:06.000 --> 0:13:08.520
<v Speaker 1>wanted speed at the shortstop position, should I have just

0:13:08.559 --> 0:13:10.920
<v Speaker 1>taken trade turner at my spot? And those are the

0:13:10.920 --> 0:13:13.640
<v Speaker 1>top two short stops off the board this year. Trade

0:13:13.640 --> 0:13:17.040
<v Speaker 1>Turner and Francisco Lindor. Lindor was a top five pick

0:13:17.600 --> 0:13:20.600
<v Speaker 1>before this injury. Now he probably goes towards the end

0:13:20.840 --> 0:13:24.160
<v Speaker 1>of the first round. Are you probably still in the

0:13:24.200 --> 0:13:27.319
<v Speaker 1>first round though a lot of the expert drafts that

0:13:27.360 --> 0:13:30.080
<v Speaker 1>I've seen, Francisco Lindor has been going in the second

0:13:30.160 --> 0:13:34.719
<v Speaker 1>round really after trade Turner definitely okay. Trade Turners a

0:13:35.040 --> 0:13:38.400
<v Speaker 1>rock solid top ten, top twelve pick right now. Um

0:13:38.480 --> 0:13:41.680
<v Speaker 1>and Lindor know, for example, in the tout Wars draft

0:13:41.679 --> 0:13:44.120
<v Speaker 1>in whole league this is O b P. Francisco Lindor

0:13:44.240 --> 0:13:46.240
<v Speaker 1>went in the middle of the second round in a

0:13:46.320 --> 0:13:48.760
<v Speaker 1>fifteen team league. That seems a little it seems a

0:13:48.800 --> 0:13:52.120
<v Speaker 1>little outrageous to me. Should not happen. I'm doing a

0:13:52.160 --> 0:13:54.880
<v Speaker 1>best ball draft right now over on fan tracks, and

0:13:55.280 --> 0:14:00.640
<v Speaker 1>Francisco Lindor went pick sixteen. So that's I have to turn.

0:14:00.880 --> 0:14:02.640
<v Speaker 1>I think that makes sense. I think like in a

0:14:02.679 --> 0:14:05.920
<v Speaker 1>fifteen team league at the turn somewhere around there, I

0:14:05.920 --> 0:14:07.560
<v Speaker 1>don't want him as my first hitter. Now, that's what

0:14:07.559 --> 0:14:10.760
<v Speaker 1>it comes down to. Can I go lindwar starting picture?

0:14:11.920 --> 0:14:15.360
<v Speaker 1>It's risky, man, can you? But I feel like your

0:14:15.440 --> 0:14:18.600
<v Speaker 1>style of drafting everything I've learned about you this year,

0:14:18.600 --> 0:14:20.800
<v Speaker 1>and obviously I know of course for a while down

0:14:21.360 --> 0:14:23.360
<v Speaker 1>try Tender is not exactly your guy either. In the

0:14:23.400 --> 0:14:28.120
<v Speaker 1>first round. Yeah, it's just so hard to take a

0:14:28.160 --> 0:14:30.560
<v Speaker 1>guy and he doesn't kill your power. It's just so

0:14:30.640 --> 0:14:33.040
<v Speaker 1>hard to invest your first round pick. And you know

0:14:33.120 --> 0:14:35.920
<v Speaker 1>you hear Adamonis of Scout Fantasy talk about this a

0:14:35.920 --> 0:14:38.440
<v Speaker 1>lot hereim at two PM today. He talked about this

0:14:38.480 --> 0:14:40.800
<v Speaker 1>a lot where he likes to get that base of

0:14:40.920 --> 0:14:44.400
<v Speaker 1>power with his first you know, hitter, first two round picks,

0:14:44.520 --> 0:14:46.120
<v Speaker 1>maybe even his first three hitters, whatever it might be.

0:14:46.160 --> 0:14:48.440
<v Speaker 1>He wants to get that base of power and obviously

0:14:48.520 --> 0:14:51.960
<v Speaker 1>batting average. But you know, everyone's saying power has gone

0:14:52.040 --> 0:14:54.400
<v Speaker 1>up over the past couple of seasons. So in order

0:14:54.440 --> 0:14:56.160
<v Speaker 1>to compete in power, it's not like, oh I can

0:14:56.240 --> 0:14:58.280
<v Speaker 1>just find it anywhere. You need more of it. So

0:14:58.320 --> 0:15:00.280
<v Speaker 1>you need those home runs, You need those RBIs gonna

0:15:00.280 --> 0:15:02.600
<v Speaker 1>need one of these sluggers in the first round. They're

0:15:02.640 --> 0:15:05.440
<v Speaker 1>gonna give you thirty five to forty home runs. That's why,

0:15:05.520 --> 0:15:07.400
<v Speaker 1>you know, if you ask me as of right now,

0:15:07.640 --> 0:15:09.840
<v Speaker 1>I hope no one is listening. Uh. That's in the

0:15:09.880 --> 0:15:14.120
<v Speaker 1>Great Fantasy Baseball Invitational. But I have eighth pick, and

0:15:14.200 --> 0:15:16.440
<v Speaker 1>I've kind of been debating between, you know, going outfielder

0:15:16.480 --> 0:15:18.280
<v Speaker 1>or going trade Turner because I think, you know, those

0:15:18.320 --> 0:15:20.760
<v Speaker 1>are gonna be the best players available for me. I

0:15:20.760 --> 0:15:22.880
<v Speaker 1>think that's of right now. I like a Kuna or

0:15:22.960 --> 0:15:24.800
<v Speaker 1>Yellow if those guys are available, or even j D

0:15:24.880 --> 0:15:28.040
<v Speaker 1>Martinez over a guy like Trade Turner, because all right,

0:15:28.120 --> 0:15:29.600
<v Speaker 1>j D's not gonna give me the stolen basis, but

0:15:29.600 --> 0:15:31.560
<v Speaker 1>he's gonna give you a leap batting average and elite power.

0:15:32.040 --> 0:15:33.920
<v Speaker 1>Ronald Lacuna and Chris Yells are gonna give me a

0:15:33.960 --> 0:15:36.040
<v Speaker 1>little bit of everything, you know, a lot of bit

0:15:36.080 --> 0:15:39.880
<v Speaker 1>of everything. So trade Turner, Yeah, I'll give you eighteen

0:15:39.960 --> 0:15:43.360
<v Speaker 1>home runs somewhere around there. They're talking about now the

0:15:43.440 --> 0:15:46.120
<v Speaker 1>Nationals want them to attempt seventy five to eighty stolen basis.

0:15:46.200 --> 0:15:48.200
<v Speaker 1>I believe it, want to see it. He has had

0:15:48.200 --> 0:15:51.520
<v Speaker 1>a very good conversion rate in his MLB career in

0:15:51.640 --> 0:15:54.080
<v Speaker 1>terms of you know, stolen basis verse called stealing. That's

0:15:54.160 --> 0:15:55.800
<v Speaker 1>very fast. He's you know, I think one of the

0:15:55.840 --> 0:15:58.280
<v Speaker 1>five fastest players in the MLB. They want him to

0:15:58.280 --> 0:16:01.560
<v Speaker 1>steal more. Okay me, you know, personally, I can't project

0:16:01.640 --> 0:16:03.840
<v Speaker 1>him for more than forty five steals. He's gonna give

0:16:03.840 --> 0:16:06.320
<v Speaker 1>you runs. He's gonna give you a solid batting average

0:16:06.320 --> 0:16:09.120
<v Speaker 1>to eighty. It's not like he's three thirty or anything.

0:16:09.840 --> 0:16:14.760
<v Speaker 1>So a hundred runs to e d batting average adequate RBIs.

0:16:14.840 --> 0:16:17.440
<v Speaker 1>You know, if he's batting second, he'll give you seventy

0:16:17.680 --> 0:16:22.480
<v Speaker 1>eighty maybe, so you're really looking at a three category player.

0:16:23.240 --> 0:16:26.520
<v Speaker 1>Two and a half doesn't kill you in home runs

0:16:26.560 --> 0:16:29.600
<v Speaker 1>in RBIs. I'd rather go with a guy like Ronald

0:16:29.640 --> 0:16:32.440
<v Speaker 1>Lacuna or Christian Yellis or J. D. Martinez around that area.

0:16:33.840 --> 0:16:35.440
<v Speaker 1>But if I am just choosing between the door a

0:16:35.480 --> 0:16:37.760
<v Speaker 1>straight turner, I will take trade turn trades Charner, as

0:16:37.800 --> 0:16:41.120
<v Speaker 1>Frank said, didn't he kill you in a category? But

0:16:41.200 --> 0:16:43.080
<v Speaker 1>you don't want to say that for a first round pick,

0:16:43.200 --> 0:16:46.520

0:16:49.240 --> 0:16:51.080
<v Speaker 1>want to do it as my first hit because I'm

0:16:51.120 --> 0:16:52.840
<v Speaker 1>scared of being killed. But I'm scared of just not

0:16:52.960 --> 0:16:57.360

<v Speaker 1>tell me about the fact that what tweet I enjoyed it.

0:20:15.560 --> 0:20:17.160
<v Speaker 1>I think you're gonna talk the one where I gotta

0:20:17.200 --> 0:20:20.359
<v Speaker 1>find it again where Ben Albred said, just another example

0:20:20.400 --> 0:20:22.960
<v Speaker 1>of videotaping that gets the pass in trouble. Oh God,

0:20:24.440 --> 0:20:28.160
<v Speaker 1>spy Gate baby, Oh no, Spy eight. People are gonna

0:20:28.160 --> 0:20:29.400
<v Speaker 1>have a lot of fun with this one, No doubt

0:20:29.560 --> 0:20:34.040
<v Speaker 1>they should. They should, Okay, Lindor Turner. Anything else you

0:20:34.040 --> 0:20:37.399
<v Speaker 1>want to get on those two? Or should we move one? What? Then?

0:20:37.440 --> 0:20:39.119
<v Speaker 1>I'm doing a draft. I wanted Zach Wheeler as m

0:20:39.200 --> 0:20:43.800
<v Speaker 1>SP threes. Sorry, yeah, trade Turner. Look, I will say

0:20:43.840 --> 0:20:46.320
<v Speaker 1>this about Trade Turner. I think why he goes so

0:20:46.400 --> 0:20:49.080
<v Speaker 1>high in draft is people are still holding onto that

0:20:49.119 --> 0:20:51.919
<v Speaker 1>two thousand sixteen when he hit thirteen home runs and

0:20:52.040 --> 0:20:55.119
<v Speaker 1>thirty three stolen bases in just seventy three games. So

0:20:55.160 --> 0:20:56.679
<v Speaker 1>I think people got a little bit of a taste

0:20:56.680 --> 0:20:59.199
<v Speaker 1>of what the upside could be from trade Turner. He

0:20:59.240 --> 0:21:01.680
<v Speaker 1>hasn't lived up to that for various reasons. I believe

0:21:02.080 --> 0:21:04.280
<v Speaker 1>seen the next year he was he was a little

0:21:04.320 --> 0:21:06.119
<v Speaker 1>bit injury, he got off to a slow start. I

0:21:06.160 --> 0:21:08.879
<v Speaker 1>believe I owned him that year in the league, and

0:21:08.880 --> 0:21:11.000
<v Speaker 1>then he had like a really really big second half.

0:21:11.200 --> 0:21:13.840
<v Speaker 1>Last year he was fine, like he still returned value

0:21:13.880 --> 0:21:15.960
<v Speaker 1>what you wanted. But he hasn't really had that big

0:21:16.000 --> 0:21:19.600
<v Speaker 1>monster year since over the course of a full season

0:21:20.040 --> 0:21:22.400
<v Speaker 1>that everyone's kind of hoping for. And I think that's

0:21:22.480 --> 0:21:24.639
<v Speaker 1>part of why he still goes where he does. People

0:21:24.640 --> 0:21:27.719
<v Speaker 1>think that he has like this home run sixties stolen

0:21:27.760 --> 0:21:30.919
<v Speaker 1>base upside based on where he did that year. I

0:21:31.000 --> 0:21:34.520
<v Speaker 1>can't really dispute that he might have that upside. He

0:21:34.520 --> 0:21:37.840
<v Speaker 1>just hasn't really showed us yet. So look, there are certainly,

0:21:37.960 --> 0:21:41.320
<v Speaker 1>you know, there's certainly downsides the drafting guys like Ronald Lacuna,

0:21:41.359 --> 0:21:43.399
<v Speaker 1>who you know, it's only his second year in the league,

0:21:43.400 --> 0:21:45.480
<v Speaker 1>and you know, maybe he hits a sophomore slump and

0:21:45.480 --> 0:21:48.160
<v Speaker 1>then you know, Christian Yellows had a monster second half.

0:21:48.240 --> 0:21:49.639
<v Speaker 1>Is he is he gonna be able to you know,

0:21:49.720 --> 0:21:51.760
<v Speaker 1>repeat or come anything close to that? Like, you know,

0:21:51.800 --> 0:21:54.560
<v Speaker 1>they're concerns with kind of everybody outside of Mookie Bets

0:21:54.600 --> 0:21:57.760
<v Speaker 1>and and Mike Trout. Um. Well, you know, I do

0:21:57.800 --> 0:22:00.560
<v Speaker 1>think that where trade Turners going is warranted. Top ten,

0:22:00.640 --> 0:22:03.080
<v Speaker 1>top twelve. I don't have a problem with it. But again,

0:22:03.760 --> 0:22:07.480
<v Speaker 1>just him versus lind Door because trade Turner is healthy

0:22:07.560 --> 0:22:10.000
<v Speaker 1>right now for me, that just that makes him number

0:22:10.040 --> 0:22:12.920
<v Speaker 1>one of my shortstop rankings. All right, continuing on, as

0:22:12.960 --> 0:22:15.600
<v Speaker 1>we get through the shortstops today, you want to talk

0:22:15.640 --> 0:22:17.800
<v Speaker 1>about Alex Bregman. Is a shortstop or a third baseman?

0:22:17.800 --> 0:22:20.000
<v Speaker 1>We'll have the eligibility for both. Same with Javier Bias

0:22:20.080 --> 0:22:22.520
<v Speaker 1>of course, spoke you know a lot about him, yes

0:22:22.720 --> 0:22:24.600
<v Speaker 1>yesterday on the second b A show. Um, what do

0:22:24.600 --> 0:22:27.240
<v Speaker 1>you wanna do about them? Yeah? So Javier Bias, I

0:22:27.280 --> 0:22:29.199
<v Speaker 1>don't think we really need to go much more in

0:22:29.359 --> 0:22:32.880
<v Speaker 1>depth on here. That's a good question right on. Manny

0:22:32.960 --> 0:22:35.800
<v Speaker 1>Matado too. Should he be part of the shortstop episode

0:22:35.840 --> 0:22:38.560
<v Speaker 1>or the or the third basement episode? Great? Do you

0:22:38.600 --> 0:22:43.000
<v Speaker 1>think third base is a little bit, deepeper, you'd think,

0:22:46.200 --> 0:22:49.479
<v Speaker 1>let's do it now. Alright, No, you guys the other way.

0:22:49.520 --> 0:22:50.800
<v Speaker 1>Are you doing now? And then we'll do a little

0:22:50.800 --> 0:22:52.080
<v Speaker 1>bit of we'll do a little bit. Now, we'll do

0:22:52.080 --> 0:22:55.120
<v Speaker 1>a little bit then probably won't all right, Okay, Well,

0:22:55.160 --> 0:22:56.520
<v Speaker 1>I just think that when you drafted the guy like

0:22:56.600 --> 0:22:58.800
<v Speaker 1>what do you there's probably more third baseman the shortstops.

0:22:58.840 --> 0:23:01.280
<v Speaker 1>Let's consider Alex Bregman a sho or stopped. Alex Bergman

0:23:01.320 --> 0:23:03.399
<v Speaker 1>had a ridiculous year last year. But another one of

0:23:03.400 --> 0:23:06.400
<v Speaker 1>these guys like Francisco Lindor a l right now, it's

0:23:06.600 --> 0:23:09.000
<v Speaker 1>training now he if you drafted Brigman or Machan, you'd

0:23:09.000 --> 0:23:13.880
<v Speaker 1>probably used him at shortstop. Of course, absolutely, So let's

0:23:13.920 --> 0:23:16.520
<v Speaker 1>get both of those guys, uh, Bregman, Machadow both going

0:23:16.520 --> 0:23:18.600
<v Speaker 1>around the same spot a little bit after trade turner,

0:23:18.600 --> 0:23:23.080
<v Speaker 1>would you rather have Bregman or Francisco lindor Alex Bregman, whatever?

0:23:23.480 --> 0:23:27.359
<v Speaker 1>You have Bregman ahead of Lindor as well? How come? No?

0:23:27.480 --> 0:23:31.720
<v Speaker 1>Actually I have Lindor Evlyn Door one spot ahead of

0:23:32.080 --> 0:23:35.600
<v Speaker 1>Alex Bregman. As he's done every day, he's going to

0:23:35.680 --> 0:23:38.119
<v Speaker 1>change the rank. He's on the spot Yeah, it's just

0:23:38.160 --> 0:23:43.920
<v Speaker 1>like Lindora's upside. Obviously hired Alex Bregman's but again, Bregman,

0:23:44.960 --> 0:23:46.680
<v Speaker 1>it has a bit of an injury risk himself with

0:23:46.720 --> 0:23:48.359
<v Speaker 1>the elbow thing that's going on. But when we spoke

0:23:48.359 --> 0:23:50.560
<v Speaker 1>to dr about it, he was, you know, he thought

0:23:50.560 --> 0:23:52.800
<v Speaker 1>this was more of a proactive procedure with the getting

0:23:52.840 --> 0:23:55.320
<v Speaker 1>the elbow, you know, the bone chips removed from his elbow.

0:23:55.359 --> 0:23:58.159
<v Speaker 1>Alex Bregman, that is um and he kind of you know,

0:23:58.200 --> 0:23:59.840
<v Speaker 1>he told us he thinks that the power could actually

0:24:00.040 --> 0:24:02.280
<v Speaker 1>ump with Alex Bregman because he had a procedure like

0:24:02.320 --> 0:24:06.120
<v Speaker 1>this done already. He contributed an all five categories last season,

0:24:06.200 --> 0:24:10.880
<v Speaker 1>and that was with the Astro's lineup not being healthy.

0:24:11.000 --> 0:24:13.520
<v Speaker 1>I mean that was with josel tub missing time, Carlos

0:24:13.600 --> 0:24:16.600
<v Speaker 1>Korea missing time, George s Bringman midtime last year, and

0:24:16.640 --> 0:24:22.679
<v Speaker 1>Alex Bergman was still as good as he was. All right,

0:24:22.720 --> 0:24:29.720
<v Speaker 1>I did it aman ahead of Francis. Yeah. I have

0:24:29.800 --> 0:24:32.159
<v Speaker 1>concerns about the Cleveland Indians lineup as well. It's not

0:24:32.200 --> 0:24:33.840
<v Speaker 1>a good line up. We spoke about this with Jose

0:24:33.960 --> 0:24:39.320
<v Speaker 1>Ramirez the other day. You know, outside of Francisco, Lindor

0:24:39.600 --> 0:24:44.040
<v Speaker 1>and Jose. There are question marks like Leonie's Martin gonna

0:24:44.080 --> 0:24:45.639
<v Speaker 1>lead off for this team as of right now, Carlos

0:24:45.720 --> 0:24:48.879
<v Speaker 1>Santana the cleanup hitter. They get Jake Bowers. I mean,

0:24:48.880 --> 0:24:50.520
<v Speaker 1>what are you gonna get out of Jake Hours this year?

0:24:51.400 --> 0:24:53.679
<v Speaker 1>There's a lot of question marks with the Cleveland Indians lineup.

0:24:53.760 --> 0:24:56.240
<v Speaker 1>So you have that to deal with, you have the

0:24:56.240 --> 0:24:58.840
<v Speaker 1>injury to deal with. I just think Alex Bregman, if

0:24:58.840 --> 0:25:01.720
<v Speaker 1>you look at his year, his years, he's been a

0:25:01.760 --> 0:25:05.240
<v Speaker 1>slow starter. Well, he's progressed every single year. I mean,

0:25:05.240 --> 0:25:07.080
<v Speaker 1>he's done everything that you can ask him to do

0:25:07.200 --> 0:25:09.000
<v Speaker 1>in terms of, you know, getting better and seeing that

0:25:09.080 --> 0:25:12.280
<v Speaker 1>progression as much contact as he makes. Remember a few

0:25:12.320 --> 0:25:13.919
<v Speaker 1>a few weeks ago, we kind of did a Houston

0:25:13.960 --> 0:25:17.320
<v Speaker 1>Astros episode. We talked a lot about the the injured,

0:25:17.359 --> 0:25:20.199
<v Speaker 1>the injured players on that team and their new additions

0:25:20.240 --> 0:25:23.600
<v Speaker 1>in Michael Brantley, And you asked me, what was the

0:25:23.640 --> 0:25:25.240
<v Speaker 1>one word that I would used to describe how I

0:25:25.240 --> 0:25:30.520
<v Speaker 1>feel about Alex Bregman. Do you remember that word? That

0:25:30.680 --> 0:25:36.439
<v Speaker 1>was very good? It was that I have for Alex Bregman.

0:25:36.920 --> 0:25:39.000
<v Speaker 1>He's getting better every single year. You know, I think

0:25:39.040 --> 0:25:41.440
<v Speaker 1>he's gonna be around thirty home runs. The runs and

0:25:41.560 --> 0:25:43.480
<v Speaker 1>RBIs are gonna be there in the Houston Nastrolls lineup.

0:25:43.520 --> 0:25:47.080
<v Speaker 1>It's a great lineup. I wouldn't project more than hen

0:25:47.200 --> 0:25:50.080
<v Speaker 1>stolen basis, but his quality of contact is great. He

0:25:50.119 --> 0:25:52.840
<v Speaker 1>doesn't strike out much. He's great for points leagues and

0:25:52.960 --> 0:25:55.720
<v Speaker 1>roto because again he doesn't strike out and he walks

0:25:55.720 --> 0:25:59.200
<v Speaker 1>a decent amount as well. Batting average is gonna be there.

0:25:59.400 --> 0:26:01.560
<v Speaker 1>What's not till about Alex Bregman. I think the only

0:26:01.560 --> 0:26:03.840
<v Speaker 1>concerned people might have for Bregman Gregg is the fact

0:26:03.920 --> 0:26:06.359
<v Speaker 1>that he's only done it for one full season. They

0:26:06.400 --> 0:26:09.080
<v Speaker 1>don't really have the track record. With Lindor, you kind

0:26:09.080 --> 0:26:10.680
<v Speaker 1>of have, you know, the past two years he's been

0:26:11.000 --> 0:26:13.440
<v Speaker 1>really damn good. But with Lindora you now have the

0:26:13.520 --> 0:26:17.600
<v Speaker 1>question mark of the injury concerns. I'm not as worried

0:26:17.600 --> 0:26:19.960
<v Speaker 1>about Alex Bregman not having the track record because he's

0:26:19.960 --> 0:26:22.320
<v Speaker 1>been he's been good the past couple of years. Last

0:26:22.359 --> 0:26:24.880
<v Speaker 1>years took a step up. Of course, this is kind

0:26:24.880 --> 0:26:27.520
<v Speaker 1>of like the natural progression that we're expecting from. What

0:26:27.560 --> 0:26:30.360
<v Speaker 1>if he gets better again this year? Who's to say

0:26:30.359 --> 0:26:33.879
<v Speaker 1>it can't happen? Runs something like that. Why wouldn't you

0:26:33.920 --> 0:26:35.639
<v Speaker 1>know he's only gotten better a year. Why wouldn't he

0:26:35.640 --> 0:26:38.199
<v Speaker 1>continue to get better? I don't disagreed, and he's got

0:26:38.280 --> 0:26:39.600
<v Speaker 1>better as the season went on for the most part

0:26:39.680 --> 0:26:42.159
<v Speaker 1>last year. Would it surprise you one bit if Alex

0:26:42.200 --> 0:26:44.000
<v Speaker 1>Bregman is one of these guys that's going in the

0:26:44.040 --> 0:26:48.480
<v Speaker 1>top five picks next year, I wouldn't surprise me. Mhm alright,

0:26:48.520 --> 0:26:51.399
<v Speaker 1>So a lot of love Alex Bregman here. Would you

0:26:51.440 --> 0:26:53.800
<v Speaker 1>rather have Alex Bregman and the outfielders that you're taking

0:26:53.840 --> 0:26:57.080
<v Speaker 1>around there? And then he did some outfit research last night,

0:26:57.520 --> 0:26:58.879
<v Speaker 1>the off field guy in the first second round, and

0:26:58.880 --> 0:27:01.560
<v Speaker 1>look your pitture. Would you take Alex? It's the position scarcity.

0:27:01.680 --> 0:27:04.119
<v Speaker 1>I'm definitely taking. You are giving a slave to that, dude?

0:27:05.080 --> 0:27:07.400
<v Speaker 1>You mean five outfielders in a lot of leagues. I understand.

0:27:07.720 --> 0:27:10.960
<v Speaker 1>I'm definitely taking a Kunya. I'm definitely taking yellow J D.

0:27:11.080 --> 0:27:13.000
<v Speaker 1>Martinez all ahead of Alex Bury. This is going to

0:27:13.040 --> 0:27:15.320
<v Speaker 1>be such an argument when we draft together, when you

0:27:15.320 --> 0:27:18.200
<v Speaker 1>get so annoyed, I'm not I'm not taking. I'm not taking.

0:27:18.200 --> 0:27:21.760
<v Speaker 1>I'm not gonna pull like jud Rice Harper up the

0:27:21.760 --> 0:27:27.000
<v Speaker 1>board just because of the outfield position. If anything, I'll

0:27:27.000 --> 0:27:28.879
<v Speaker 1>take Bregman and then I'll take one of those guys too,

0:27:28.960 --> 0:27:32.440
<v Speaker 1>And I hope I got a solid sp one there

0:27:32.440 --> 0:27:34.880
<v Speaker 1>in the third round. That's probably more likely something I'm

0:27:34.880 --> 0:27:38.960
<v Speaker 1>gonna do. Okay, Okay with that? All right? Um, continuing on,

0:27:39.359 --> 0:27:41.720
<v Speaker 1>we did a lot of how are bias yesterday? Would

0:27:41.760 --> 0:27:46.640
<v Speaker 1>you rather have Bias or bregmanan right? Definitely too, lindor

0:27:46.760 --> 0:27:52.960
<v Speaker 1>Bias lindor Chrischer isna like that is not gonna like.

0:27:53.040 --> 0:27:57.040
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I'm pretty sure Ventre's knows how good Francis

0:27:57.040 --> 0:27:58.840
<v Speaker 1>Scoo Lindoor is. I hope so, but I woulday Lindoor

0:27:58.880 --> 0:28:01.919
<v Speaker 1>as well. Okay, Then we get put to put the

0:28:02.000 --> 0:28:04.760
<v Speaker 1>second base position in perspective of your bibes. Is my

0:28:04.840 --> 0:28:07.200
<v Speaker 1>number one second basement, he's my number six short stuff.

0:28:07.200 --> 0:28:10.720
<v Speaker 1>How about that? That just tells you hope top heavily

0:28:10.840 --> 0:28:14.000
<v Speaker 1>short stop is and how Barren second base probably is? Okay,

0:28:14.520 --> 0:28:16.880
<v Speaker 1>who was based number one second basement? By the way,

0:28:17.680 --> 0:28:19.840
<v Speaker 1>then we get the two more guys that are going

0:28:20.400 --> 0:28:22.600
<v Speaker 1>right next to each other in that second round before

0:28:22.600 --> 0:28:25.880
<v Speaker 1>you get the big drop off? Is that fair? Yes?

0:28:26.880 --> 0:28:32.280
<v Speaker 1>Manny Machado and Trevor Story. Machado playing third base for

0:28:32.280 --> 0:28:35.000
<v Speaker 1>the Padres, but naturally short stuff eligible given all the

0:28:35.280 --> 0:28:38.640
<v Speaker 1>short stop he played last season. Many Machado was a

0:28:38.640 --> 0:28:40.320
<v Speaker 1>first round pick the last couple of years. He's now

0:28:40.400 --> 0:28:42.000
<v Speaker 1>dropped in the second round. He's one of these guys

0:28:42.040 --> 0:28:45.440
<v Speaker 1>like Judge, like Stanton, like black Men, like Freeman, like

0:28:45.520 --> 0:28:47.880
<v Speaker 1>gold Schmidt, all these guys in the second round that

0:28:47.960 --> 0:28:50.200
<v Speaker 1>you're used to seeing in the middle to late first round.

0:28:50.880 --> 0:28:53.480
<v Speaker 1>That's there for you in the second round. Why the

0:28:54.440 --> 0:28:56.600
<v Speaker 1>drop off from Manny Machado? Why the hate? And I

0:28:56.680 --> 0:28:58.720
<v Speaker 1>remember we were talking in your draft. He was like

0:28:58.720 --> 0:29:01.800
<v Speaker 1>there in the third round. I think, what's going on

0:29:01.880 --> 0:29:05.840
<v Speaker 1>Manna with Chado? Yeah, I think I don't want to

0:29:05.840 --> 0:29:08.640
<v Speaker 1>hear anything about he doesn't run things out. I don't

0:29:08.680 --> 0:29:11.440
<v Speaker 1>care in fantasy, you know what I mean. Whatever, Here's

0:29:11.480 --> 0:29:14.080
<v Speaker 1>the thing, he was already going in the early second

0:29:14.200 --> 0:29:16.479
<v Speaker 1>round even before he signed in San Diego, right, So

0:29:16.560 --> 0:29:18.160
<v Speaker 1>I think that that just kind of tells you, like

0:29:18.200 --> 0:29:20.680
<v Speaker 1>people trust his skills obviously, And I think I think

0:29:20.680 --> 0:29:22.320
<v Speaker 1>we should. We have enough of a track record with

0:29:22.320 --> 0:29:24.400
<v Speaker 1>ma name Machado, where you now you can project this

0:29:24.400 --> 0:29:27.160
<v Speaker 1>guy for a two eight batting average close to thirty

0:29:27.200 --> 0:29:29.320
<v Speaker 1>five home runs, and if he does that, the runs

0:29:29.360 --> 0:29:31.120
<v Speaker 1>and RBIs should be there. I've seen a lot of

0:29:31.160 --> 0:29:33.360
<v Speaker 1>people talking over the past couple of days on Twitter,

0:29:33.560 --> 0:29:37.040
<v Speaker 1>on Fantasy Baseball Twitter here about how the lineup for

0:29:37.080 --> 0:29:41.680
<v Speaker 1>the Padres it's really not all that great in terms

0:29:41.680 --> 0:29:43.720
<v Speaker 1>of like on base percentage, like guys who are gonna

0:29:43.720 --> 0:29:45.600
<v Speaker 1>get on base ahead of him, So you know, they

0:29:45.640 --> 0:29:47.800
<v Speaker 1>worry a little bit about the runs in the RBBI totals,

0:29:47.840 --> 0:29:49.840
<v Speaker 1>where you know, maybe even if he hits thirty two

0:29:49.880 --> 0:29:52.959
<v Speaker 1>to thirty five home runs, maybe the runs and our

0:29:53.000 --> 0:29:55.200
<v Speaker 1>back guys are kind of closer to ninety. I mean,

0:29:55.200 --> 0:29:57.120
<v Speaker 1>we saw it with Eric Hosmer last year. I mean

0:29:57.200 --> 0:30:00.240
<v Speaker 1>Hosmer was bad for his own reasons, like he more

0:30:00.240 --> 0:30:03.320
<v Speaker 1>groundballs as usual. You know, he took a huge step back.

0:30:03.320 --> 0:30:06.040
<v Speaker 1>He was kind of adjusting to the National League last year.

0:30:06.240 --> 0:30:08.000
<v Speaker 1>But the runs in rb I totals, that's kind of

0:30:08.040 --> 0:30:10.560
<v Speaker 1>something you always would get with Hosmer when he was

0:30:10.560 --> 0:30:14.000
<v Speaker 1>in Kansas City's lineup. Those a huge step back in

0:30:14.080 --> 0:30:19.840
<v Speaker 1>San Diego, so I know, Baltimore wasn't great last year,

0:30:19.880 --> 0:30:22.520
<v Speaker 1>but still a good hitting environment. The lineup was still

0:30:22.560 --> 0:30:24.400
<v Speaker 1>all right, and then he moved over to the Dodgers,

0:30:24.440 --> 0:30:26.640
<v Speaker 1>where obviously that's a great line up too. So I

0:30:26.880 --> 0:30:28.600
<v Speaker 1>do worry a little bit about the counting stats for

0:30:28.600 --> 0:30:32.120
<v Speaker 1>Manny Machado, but I mean you draw a line for everybody.

0:30:32.160 --> 0:30:34.240
<v Speaker 1>I mean, he's gonna have dual eligibility, he's gonna have

0:30:34.280 --> 0:30:36.720
<v Speaker 1>short stop in third base eligibility. I still think that

0:30:36.760 --> 0:30:41.400
<v Speaker 1>he's worthy of a second round pick, but I do

0:30:41.440 --> 0:30:45.560
<v Speaker 1>have Trevor Story ranked ada him really after all that,

0:30:46.720 --> 0:30:50.080
<v Speaker 1>I like Machado. Wow, I'm really interested to hear this.

0:30:50.240 --> 0:30:54.280
<v Speaker 1>But it's it's core. It's coors Field, Greg, It's Coors Field,

0:30:54.360 --> 0:30:58.320
<v Speaker 1>it's the stolen bases going up. Last year with Trevor's story,

0:30:58.600 --> 0:31:01.480
<v Speaker 1>he made legitimate in progress and a lot of people,

0:31:01.840 --> 0:31:04.880
<v Speaker 1>you know, worry about the strikeouts for him. He's severely

0:31:04.920 --> 0:31:07.240
<v Speaker 1>cut down his strikeouts. I mean he was he wasn't

0:31:07.240 --> 0:31:09.600
<v Speaker 1>below thirty one percent each of his first two seasons

0:31:09.720 --> 0:31:12.120
<v Speaker 1>and that was, you know, a huge damper on his

0:31:12.200 --> 0:31:14.600
<v Speaker 1>batting average. Last year, I got an all the way

0:31:14.640 --> 0:31:17.040
<v Speaker 1>down to twenty five point six percent. I mean that

0:31:17.160 --> 0:31:20.080
<v Speaker 1>is huge progress from Trevor Story, and a lot of people,

0:31:20.440 --> 0:31:22.400
<v Speaker 1>you know, they might counter that by saying you know, well,

0:31:22.400 --> 0:31:25.080
<v Speaker 1>what if he kind of you know, normalizes back to

0:31:25.240 --> 0:31:28.480
<v Speaker 1>his you know, thirty. I'll tell you this, He's a

0:31:28.520 --> 0:31:32.240
<v Speaker 1>young kid, kind of similar to Alex Bregman, who's making improvements.

0:31:32.080 --> 0:31:35.000
<v Speaker 1>He's getting better, he's learning on the job here. So

0:31:35.800 --> 0:31:37.600
<v Speaker 1>I really liked the fact that he cut down his

0:31:37.800 --> 0:31:40.960
<v Speaker 1>strikeout percentage as much as he did last year five

0:31:41.000 --> 0:31:44.880
<v Speaker 1>point six percent, twenty seven stolen bases last year as well,

0:31:44.960 --> 0:31:46.920
<v Speaker 1>to go with everything else that he did. I mean,

0:31:46.960 --> 0:31:52.560
<v Speaker 1>he most other worldly. Understand he was a legitimate five

0:31:52.600 --> 0:31:55.280
<v Speaker 1>tool player last year. Greg, and he look, he's still

0:31:55.320 --> 0:31:58.680
<v Speaker 1>gonna have his his splits, you know, at home in

0:31:58.720 --> 0:32:01.080
<v Speaker 1>course field a one in forty three o p s.

0:32:01.160 --> 0:32:03.719
<v Speaker 1>On the road it's seven eighties. So maybe if you're

0:32:03.760 --> 0:32:05.560
<v Speaker 1>playing a head to head points or a head to

0:32:05.560 --> 0:32:08.240
<v Speaker 1>head categories league where you know the week to week production,

0:32:08.560 --> 0:32:10.760
<v Speaker 1>you need a little bit more consistency there, you probably

0:32:10.800 --> 0:32:14.160
<v Speaker 1>go Manny Machado. But in Rhoto, where it's really more

0:32:14.280 --> 0:32:15.920
<v Speaker 1>just all right, what does his numbers look like at

0:32:15.920 --> 0:32:17.880
<v Speaker 1>the end of the season. I have the end of

0:32:17.880 --> 0:32:20.320
<v Speaker 1>the season numbers Gregg looking like this to seventy five,

0:32:20.640 --> 0:32:23.240
<v Speaker 1>thirty three home runs, ninety runs ninety five r B

0:32:23.360 --> 0:32:28.520
<v Speaker 1>I S eighteen stolen bases county stats are not going

0:32:28.560 --> 0:32:30.360
<v Speaker 1>to be far off from a guy like Manny Machado.

0:32:30.640 --> 0:32:32.640
<v Speaker 1>The home runs are going to be close. You can

0:32:32.720 --> 0:32:35.680
<v Speaker 1>argue that Trevor's story actually has more home run upside Colorado.

0:32:35.920 --> 0:32:37.920
<v Speaker 1>I'd give the batting average lean a little bit to

0:32:37.960 --> 0:32:41.400
<v Speaker 1>Manny Machado. Machado is probably too eighty five. Trevor story

0:32:41.440 --> 0:32:43.480
<v Speaker 1>is probably more to seventy two seventy five? What do

0:32:43.520 --> 0:32:48.680
<v Speaker 1>you hit last year two? So he has the upside,

0:32:48.720 --> 0:32:52.000
<v Speaker 1>but you bake some strike out, you know, maybe regression

0:32:52.040 --> 0:32:55.160
<v Speaker 1>into it next this upcoming season, and you get Trevor

0:32:55.200 --> 0:32:58.880
<v Speaker 1>story about two seventy two seventy five. He makes elite contact.

0:32:58.960 --> 0:33:01.720
<v Speaker 1>When he does make contact greg Ores Field, he's gonna

0:33:01.720 --> 0:33:03.640
<v Speaker 1>be thirty three to thirty five on runs. The stolen

0:33:03.680 --> 0:33:06.240
<v Speaker 1>base edge goes to Trevor story. That's what everyone's trying

0:33:06.280 --> 0:33:09.080
<v Speaker 1>to find right now. I think it's really close. I

0:33:09.120 --> 0:33:11.200
<v Speaker 1>give a slight edge to Trevor story. And I know

0:33:11.240 --> 0:33:13.360
<v Speaker 1>a lot of people, you know, respected people in the

0:33:13.360 --> 0:33:15.920
<v Speaker 1>fantasy industry. I think that Trevor story should be a

0:33:15.920 --> 0:33:18.080
<v Speaker 1>first round. Did you know that name? Machadow? Was six

0:33:18.120 --> 0:33:23.720
<v Speaker 1>months younger than Trevor Story. Yeah, judging by my reaction,

0:33:23.760 --> 0:33:26.640
<v Speaker 1>I had not thought that you would find that interesting.

0:33:26.800 --> 0:33:28.720
<v Speaker 1>And the lineup is a lot better too. In Colorado

0:33:29.200 --> 0:33:31.480
<v Speaker 1>sign close. I mean you have a guy like Nolan Ronado.

0:33:31.880 --> 0:33:34.440
<v Speaker 1>Obviously a lot of people expecting a lot from Daniel

0:33:34.480 --> 0:33:39.320
<v Speaker 1>Murphy this year, and David Dahl better hitter's environment, better

0:33:40.160 --> 0:33:43.200
<v Speaker 1>lineup as well. It's close. I give white edge to

0:33:43.360 --> 0:33:46.440
<v Speaker 1>Trevor Story. Would your answer change in roto league versus

0:33:46.480 --> 0:33:51.160
<v Speaker 1>points leagus, Yeah? Yeah, in head to head I would

0:33:51.160 --> 0:33:52.920
<v Speaker 1>go with Machado. I think he's probably gonna be more consistent.

0:33:53.360 --> 0:33:56.200
<v Speaker 1>Home road splits are still very drastic. I can boo.

0:33:56.400 --> 0:33:59.480
<v Speaker 1>Everyone's trying to find stolen basis the twenty stole basis

0:33:59.520 --> 0:34:02.560
<v Speaker 1>last year, which Trevor Story, I think you get twenty again.

0:34:02.880 --> 0:34:06.480
<v Speaker 1>I don't. You know. It's really interesting because in twenty

0:34:06.560 --> 0:34:10.040
<v Speaker 1>sixteen we've played only nineties seven games. He had eight

0:34:10.040 --> 0:34:15.160
<v Speaker 1>stone bases, played five games only seven stolen bases. But

0:34:15.239 --> 0:34:20.960
<v Speaker 1>throughout the minors, in two levels he had across two

0:34:21.040 --> 0:34:24.280
<v Speaker 1>levels he had twenty three twenty three, so he's always

0:34:24.320 --> 0:34:28.160
<v Speaker 1>been around a twenty steel guy throughout his minor league career,

0:34:28.360 --> 0:34:31.319
<v Speaker 1>and we've never seen that reach the Major's until last year.

0:34:31.800 --> 0:34:33.239
<v Speaker 1>I don't know it's but black. I don't know if

0:34:33.239 --> 0:34:36.279
<v Speaker 1>it's confidence, but something has changed with Trevor Story. If

0:34:36.280 --> 0:34:39.560
<v Speaker 1>you're just looking at stolen bases, I trust Trevor Story

0:34:39.560 --> 0:34:41.800
<v Speaker 1>more than just Manie Machada who who stole twenty bases

0:34:41.800 --> 0:34:46.120
<v Speaker 1>back in but didn't have more uh than twenty for

0:34:46.280 --> 0:34:48.399
<v Speaker 1>the fourteen that he had last year any other year

0:34:48.760 --> 0:34:51.960
<v Speaker 1>of his career. So if you're looking at that homeward

0:34:52.000 --> 0:34:54.440
<v Speaker 1>upside as you said, Frank is probably similar. But the

0:34:54.520 --> 0:34:58.279
<v Speaker 1>point in points leagues where that that strike out, He's

0:34:58.320 --> 0:35:02.520
<v Speaker 1>a much bigger factor. I think that tips the scale

0:35:02.520 --> 0:35:04.520
<v Speaker 1>of me. Right, the cap or nine for many a

0:35:04.560 --> 0:35:07.960
<v Speaker 1>child was fourteen point seven percent or cap percented rather ascent.

0:35:08.080 --> 0:35:11.120
<v Speaker 1>Trevor Story is gonna be double that, you know, so

0:35:12.239 --> 0:35:14.080
<v Speaker 1>you look at the average. I trust my Chaddo more

0:35:15.520 --> 0:35:18.120
<v Speaker 1>in points things. I'm going with shadow in rotal leagues.

0:35:18.160 --> 0:35:25.000
<v Speaker 1>I understand the discussion more for Trevor Story. Is that cool? Yeah, Okay,

0:35:25.080 --> 0:35:28.359
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to take Trevor Story in and um if

0:35:28.400 --> 0:35:32.440
<v Speaker 1>I asked you, where would Trevor Stories sprint speed on

0:35:32.480 --> 0:35:34.680
<v Speaker 1>stat Cast ranked last year in terms of percentile? What

0:35:34.680 --> 0:35:36.239
<v Speaker 1>would you say, Well, we talked a lot about these

0:35:36.239 --> 0:35:39.879
<v Speaker 1>guys are the eighty nine percent time? Maybe yesterday? Right,

0:35:40.120 --> 0:35:44.319
<v Speaker 1>But they were very they were very surprising. And who

0:35:44.360 --> 0:35:46.400
<v Speaker 1>wasn't It was really prised it was eating nine yesterday?

0:35:46.480 --> 0:35:52.399
<v Speaker 1>Who was the guy? It was? Um yours? I don't

0:35:52.440 --> 0:35:53.960
<v Speaker 1>think it was biased, and it was like somebody a

0:35:53.960 --> 0:35:57.480
<v Speaker 1>little bit A little bit later, I thought maybe Johnny

0:35:57.520 --> 0:36:01.759
<v Speaker 1>v Army and something like that. Whatever they were, I

0:36:01.800 --> 0:36:06.839
<v Speaker 1>wasn't glad. I don't know. So I discussed a couple

0:36:06.840 --> 0:36:13.520
<v Speaker 1>of times. Nine where would I put Trevor Story two

0:36:13.600 --> 0:36:19.640
<v Speaker 1>eighty three? Really seven percentile in terms of sprint speed,

0:36:20.000 --> 0:36:21.520
<v Speaker 1>which is so it's one of the fastest guys in

0:36:21.520 --> 0:36:25.480
<v Speaker 1>the majors. Then is stat cast sprint speed, which is

0:36:25.840 --> 0:36:28.120
<v Speaker 1>its feet traveled per second while you're on the base

0:36:28.160 --> 0:36:32.040
<v Speaker 1>pass It was seven percentile. He was thirty seventh among

0:36:32.120 --> 0:36:35.719
<v Speaker 1>all base runners last year in the MLB. Who's number one?

0:36:36.080 --> 0:36:39.239
<v Speaker 1>Tight Jarner? I need a second to pull that up.

0:36:40.160 --> 0:36:42.720
<v Speaker 1>He's like top five or six? Yeah, sure, that's crazy.

0:36:43.360 --> 0:36:49.560
<v Speaker 1>That's that's it's unbelievable, man, That's that's sellar okay. Trevor

0:36:49.640 --> 0:36:51.799
<v Speaker 1>Story speeds real all right, Frank looked that up during

0:36:51.800 --> 0:36:54.200
<v Speaker 1>the break. When we come back, even more short stops.

0:36:54.239 --> 0:36:56.000
<v Speaker 1>We're going to nice pace today, Frank, I feel I

0:36:56.080 --> 0:36:59.960
<v Speaker 1>like it. We'll get back. We get a really interesting

0:37:00.000 --> 0:37:03.319
<v Speaker 1>games like ad Alberto Mundency. What do you do about him?

0:37:03.360 --> 0:37:06.759
<v Speaker 1>People are one iron buckson shut that. People in this

0:37:06.800 --> 0:37:09.800

<v Speaker 1>kick it into playoff year or whatever the hell that is.

0:38:56.560 --> 0:38:59.120
<v Speaker 1>Activation mode. He did. But the only problem I A

0:38:59.400 --> 0:39:02.840
<v Speaker 1>we always saw activation mode in the second half of

0:39:02.840 --> 0:39:05.839
<v Speaker 1>that game. Because in the first half Lebron was as

0:39:05.880 --> 0:39:09.000
<v Speaker 1>mediocre as Lebron has been. In order for this still

0:39:09.080 --> 0:39:11.839
<v Speaker 1>to take another level, brother, he's got to play first half,

0:39:11.880 --> 0:39:14.479
<v Speaker 1>second half like he did the second half. Week days

0:40:43.320 --> 0:40:47.719
<v Speaker 1>very enthusiastic hell no, maybe we could. I mean he

0:40:47.800 --> 0:40:50.759
<v Speaker 1>did play Barbie Girl once on the Frenzy, so not

0:40:50.840 --> 0:40:52.839
<v Speaker 1>really that far off. He'll just took a hike from

0:40:52.840 --> 0:40:59.880
<v Speaker 1>Corey Vers. Rank the ball to Corey Verson. Okay, they

0:41:00.920 --> 0:41:05.560
<v Speaker 1>no there it is. Yeah when I'm getting killed because

0:41:05.560 --> 0:41:10.280
<v Speaker 1>I saying Friday by Rebecca Black. One of the hottest

0:41:10.280 --> 0:41:14.200
<v Speaker 1>players um in the NFBC here this season is Adalbert Almond.

0:41:14.360 --> 0:41:16.800
<v Speaker 1>Say Mondescy is going off the board at the n

0:41:16.840 --> 0:41:20.600
<v Speaker 1>FBC pick them at forty one. That is in the

0:41:20.640 --> 0:41:25.920
<v Speaker 1>middle of the third round in fifteam leagues, the middle

0:41:25.920 --> 0:41:31.400
<v Speaker 1>of the fourth round m twelve team leagues. Everybody likes pedigree,

0:41:31.920 --> 0:41:34.040
<v Speaker 1>everybody likes guys that are in the minors, and adlberts

0:41:34.040 --> 0:41:45.200
<v Speaker 1>Almond to say, but is this price justifiable? Somewhat yes,

0:41:45.960 --> 0:41:49.720
<v Speaker 1>because look, he's gonna give you stolen bases. We spoke

0:41:49.719 --> 0:41:53.560
<v Speaker 1>a little bit about the Royals yesterday and how they're

0:41:53.600 --> 0:41:56.440
<v Speaker 1>going to run and be terrible. They are going to

0:41:56.480 --> 0:41:57.920
<v Speaker 1>be terrible, but the only way that they're going to

0:41:58.000 --> 0:42:02.719
<v Speaker 1>be able to generate offense is throw running the ball

0:42:02.760 --> 0:42:04.680
<v Speaker 1>like they have to play small ball, So like they're

0:42:04.680 --> 0:42:06.879
<v Speaker 1>gonna they're gonna steal a lot of bases. They're gonna

0:42:06.880 --> 0:42:10.919
<v Speaker 1>give these guys the green light in Adalberto Mondessey. He's

0:42:11.000 --> 0:42:12.640
<v Speaker 1>one of the fastest guys in the league too. You know,

0:42:12.680 --> 0:42:15.239
<v Speaker 1>we were just talking about sprint speed Byron Buckston. Number one.

0:42:15.480 --> 0:42:17.840
<v Speaker 1>Adalbert's home Monessey was eleventh best in all of baseball

0:42:17.920 --> 0:42:20.480
<v Speaker 1>last year. So he's a very he's a very uh,

0:42:20.560 --> 0:42:25.120
<v Speaker 1>he's very quick, speedy guy as well. And I thought

0:42:25.239 --> 0:42:27.160
<v Speaker 1>this was a great point made by Scott White on

0:42:27.200 --> 0:42:29.759
<v Speaker 1>the on the CBS Sports Fantasy Baseball Today podcast. Was

0:42:29.800 --> 0:42:36.600
<v Speaker 1>gonna be a gret point, no uh with Adalberto Mondessey, Right,

0:42:36.719 --> 0:42:38.719
<v Speaker 1>if you just look at his numbers from last year,

0:42:39.040 --> 0:42:40.600
<v Speaker 1>A lot of what people would do is like they

0:42:40.640 --> 0:42:43.279
<v Speaker 1>pro rate the numbers. Right. Oh, he had fourteen home

0:42:43.360 --> 0:42:45.400
<v Speaker 1>runs and thirty two steels only seventy five games. So

0:42:45.400 --> 0:42:47.959
<v Speaker 1>if you double that, he's gonna be home runs and

0:42:47.960 --> 0:42:50.239
<v Speaker 1>and in sixty four stolen bases, right right, Because because

0:42:50.239 --> 0:42:52.439
<v Speaker 1>this is how it works, and that's what we did

0:42:52.440 --> 0:42:54.920
<v Speaker 1>for Trey Turner. Right. The year after, you know, he

0:42:54.960 --> 0:42:56.400
<v Speaker 1>was going in the first round when he kind of

0:42:56.440 --> 0:42:59.160
<v Speaker 1>broke out. Why isn't Adalberto Mondessey going in the first

0:42:59.239 --> 0:43:03.000
<v Speaker 1>round now, if you think about it, you're actually getting

0:43:03.040 --> 0:43:05.600
<v Speaker 1>him at a discount based on players which have kind

0:43:05.600 --> 0:43:08.160
<v Speaker 1>of popped up like this in years past. I know

0:43:08.200 --> 0:43:12.279
<v Speaker 1>he has strikeout issues, that's his plate discipline is leaves

0:43:12.280 --> 0:43:14.480
<v Speaker 1>a lot to be desired. Let's just let's just put

0:43:14.480 --> 0:43:16.759
<v Speaker 1>it that way. Four point eight percent walk right last

0:43:16.800 --> 0:43:19.800
<v Speaker 1>year six point five percent k rate. This guy is

0:43:19.840 --> 0:43:21.399
<v Speaker 1>not going to be a target of mine in any

0:43:21.719 --> 0:43:24.239
<v Speaker 1>type of OVP format or head to head points league,

0:43:24.680 --> 0:43:27.719
<v Speaker 1>but in Rhodo you can argue that he should be

0:43:27.760 --> 0:43:29.960
<v Speaker 1>going even higher than where he is right now, because

0:43:30.760 --> 0:43:32.880
<v Speaker 1>you know, he was also a guy who early on

0:43:32.960 --> 0:43:35.239
<v Speaker 1>in his career he got called up. He didn't really

0:43:35.280 --> 0:43:37.319
<v Speaker 1>get a fair shake with the Royals because when he

0:43:37.400 --> 0:43:40.319
<v Speaker 1>originally got called up, they were a competitive team, so

0:43:40.360 --> 0:43:42.400
<v Speaker 1>he got sent back down. He's had to work on

0:43:42.440 --> 0:43:44.279
<v Speaker 1>a few things over the past couple of years, but

0:43:44.400 --> 0:43:46.560
<v Speaker 1>last year, he when he got called back up, he

0:43:46.600 --> 0:43:48.239
<v Speaker 1>was giving an opportunity to play every day, and he

0:43:48.239 --> 0:43:51.000
<v Speaker 1>took advantage of that. Solely keep in mind this is

0:43:51.040 --> 0:43:53.200
<v Speaker 1>a short stop. His heart hit rate last he was forty,

0:43:54.760 --> 0:43:57.040
<v Speaker 1>and he also made concertant justments to hit the ball

0:43:57.040 --> 0:43:59.440
<v Speaker 1>in the air more thirty seven percent five all rate,

0:43:59.600 --> 0:44:02.600
<v Speaker 1>twenty one percent line drive rate. Coupled with that hard

0:44:02.680 --> 0:44:06.040
<v Speaker 1>hit rate is nineteen percent. Home run to fly ball

0:44:06.120 --> 0:44:09.399
<v Speaker 1>ratio does not seem all that crazy. No, the first

0:44:09.400 --> 0:44:11.160
<v Speaker 1>thing when you look at is all you see that

0:44:11.239 --> 0:44:13.759
<v Speaker 1>nine pcent home run the fly ball ratio higher than

0:44:13.760 --> 0:44:15.759
<v Speaker 1>anything he's ever really done in the minor leagues. You know,

0:44:15.800 --> 0:44:18.200
<v Speaker 1>he's kind of a smaller guy. You know, you'd expect

0:44:18.280 --> 0:44:20.960
<v Speaker 1>him to hit for uh, you know you you want

0:44:20.960 --> 0:44:23.720
<v Speaker 1>stolen bases out of him, you don't necessarily expect power.

0:44:24.120 --> 0:44:26.680
<v Speaker 1>When you couple oftent hard hit rate with the with

0:44:26.760 --> 0:44:30.560
<v Speaker 1>the seven percent fly ball rate, you can kind of

0:44:30.600 --> 0:44:34.560
<v Speaker 1>maintain a fifteen plus percentage of home run a flyball ratio.

0:44:34.600 --> 0:44:36.239
<v Speaker 1>And so it's probably gonna come back a little bit.

0:44:36.320 --> 0:44:40.640
<v Speaker 1>I don't know that i'd expect close to. But again,

0:44:40.680 --> 0:44:42.759
<v Speaker 1>if he's hitting the ball of that hard like, he's

0:44:42.760 --> 0:44:45.560
<v Speaker 1>gonna come close to hitting twenty home runs again. And

0:44:45.640 --> 0:44:49.640
<v Speaker 1>he's sold thirty two bases in games, and we know

0:44:49.719 --> 0:44:51.799
<v Speaker 1>the springport speed is there we know he's gonna have

0:44:51.840 --> 0:44:55.120
<v Speaker 1>the green light. Anytime he gets on base, he's gonna

0:44:55.160 --> 0:44:58.440
<v Speaker 1>try and steal, So it wouldn't surprise me if he

0:44:58.480 --> 0:45:03.360
<v Speaker 1>steals forty already five maybe come close to fifty stolen basis, Greg,

0:45:04.280 --> 0:45:06.320
<v Speaker 1>I think that you can argue that Alberto Modessey and

0:45:06.360 --> 0:45:08.759
<v Speaker 1>rodal leagues with batting average, which isn't gonna be great,

0:45:08.760 --> 0:45:11.160
<v Speaker 1>He's probably gonna be like a two fifty hitter. He

0:45:11.200 --> 0:45:12.680
<v Speaker 1>should be going harder than where he is right now.

0:45:14.840 --> 0:45:20.200
<v Speaker 1>So I don't know about that. Um the speed, Yes,

0:45:20.880 --> 0:45:23.400
<v Speaker 1>in this lineup, on this team, he could be a

0:45:23.440 --> 0:45:27.160
<v Speaker 1>fifty still guy. No argument from me. He's probably gonna

0:45:27.160 --> 0:45:34.080
<v Speaker 1>be batting around to fifty, No argument from me. As

0:45:34.120 --> 0:45:36.839
<v Speaker 1>hard as he hit the ball last year, fourteen home

0:45:36.920 --> 0:45:39.719
<v Speaker 1>runs in just seventy five games. You extrapolate that and

0:45:39.760 --> 0:45:45.239
<v Speaker 1>you know what you have. Like you said, the home

0:45:45.280 --> 0:45:48.120
<v Speaker 1>run fly ball ratio has ever been close to and

0:45:48.120 --> 0:45:52.480
<v Speaker 1>I understand why you think it could go up. I

0:45:52.560 --> 0:45:55.319
<v Speaker 1>don't know if that's true. We've never seen him have

0:45:55.400 --> 0:45:59.360
<v Speaker 1>that kind of power outside of runs in the minors.

0:46:00.080 --> 0:46:02.120
<v Speaker 1>Maybe he developed it as he came along. He's twenty

0:46:02.120 --> 0:46:06.120
<v Speaker 1>three years old, for sure. Profile says otherwise, last year,

0:46:06.640 --> 0:46:09.560
<v Speaker 1>his batt ball profile rivals something that you would get

0:46:09.640 --> 0:46:13.600
<v Speaker 1>from a thirty plus home run hitter in terms of

0:46:13.600 --> 0:46:16.560
<v Speaker 1>thirty seven percent fly ball rate and hard hit rights.

0:46:18.160 --> 0:46:20.200
<v Speaker 1>But is it possible that comes back down? Right like

0:46:21.080 --> 0:46:23.279
<v Speaker 1>hard hit rate the other two major league seasons, Again,

0:46:23.280 --> 0:46:25.960
<v Speaker 1>he was much younger. I understand that he could clearly

0:46:25.960 --> 0:46:27.799
<v Speaker 1>went down to the minors and worked on things like

0:46:27.880 --> 0:46:29.440
<v Speaker 1>this is something he was consciously trying to do, is

0:46:29.520 --> 0:46:31.600
<v Speaker 1>hit the ball harder, hit the ball in the airt

0:46:31.640 --> 0:46:37.600
<v Speaker 1>seven percent. Again, I recognize he's gotten older. I mean,

0:46:37.600 --> 0:46:40.879
<v Speaker 1>he's grown. Nope, that there's no argument you could do that.

0:46:41.280 --> 0:46:42.680
<v Speaker 1>Don't you don't you don't think there's a chance of

0:46:42.719 --> 0:46:46.839
<v Speaker 1>that is not repeated this season? Yeah, I mean there's

0:46:46.840 --> 0:46:50.920
<v Speaker 1>definitely a chance. But again, if we were just projecting

0:46:50.920 --> 0:46:53.160
<v Speaker 1>for a hundred and fifty games for him, even if

0:46:53.200 --> 0:46:55.520
<v Speaker 1>you regrets that down to let's say thirty seven thirty

0:46:55.560 --> 0:46:59.319
<v Speaker 1>eight percent, you're still gonna get twenty home runs out

0:46:59.320 --> 0:47:05.759
<v Speaker 1>of him. No fifty year thinking potentially, Yeah, with a

0:47:05.840 --> 0:47:08.760
<v Speaker 1>two fifty batting average, and look, it's not a good lineup,

0:47:08.800 --> 0:47:11.360
<v Speaker 1>but he's gonna play every single day. An argument that

0:47:11.400 --> 0:47:14.359
<v Speaker 1>I made for Jonathan VR yesterday, is the Royals are

0:47:14.360 --> 0:47:16.200
<v Speaker 1>not in a position where, you know, if he sucks,

0:47:16.640 --> 0:47:19.920
<v Speaker 1>they have to send him down. You know, Mattodika made

0:47:19.920 --> 0:47:22.080
<v Speaker 1>the comp with Byron bucks and look, I see a

0:47:22.120 --> 0:47:23.960
<v Speaker 1>lot of parallels because they both strike out a lot,

0:47:23.960 --> 0:47:27.239
<v Speaker 1>the plate discipline is questionable, They're both great athletes, they

0:47:27.280 --> 0:47:29.880
<v Speaker 1>both have huge upside. Last year, Byron Buckson was going

0:47:29.880 --> 0:47:32.719
<v Speaker 1>around the same time he's going, you know, third fourth

0:47:32.800 --> 0:47:35.600
<v Speaker 1>round in some Roto drafts. People were expecting him to have,

0:47:35.680 --> 0:47:37.879
<v Speaker 1>you know, one of these creators. You know what we're

0:47:37.920 --> 0:47:41.920
<v Speaker 1>expecting out of modesty this year runs forty plus loan basis.

0:47:42.320 --> 0:47:43.879
<v Speaker 1>That's what people thought they were gonna get from bucks

0:47:43.880 --> 0:47:46.600
<v Speaker 1>and last year. So I understand some of the parallels

0:47:46.800 --> 0:47:51.000
<v Speaker 1>the differences. The twins kind of thought that they were

0:47:51.040 --> 0:47:53.000
<v Speaker 1>going to be somewhat relevant, that they were going to

0:47:53.040 --> 0:47:55.319
<v Speaker 1>compete for like a wild card spot, and they have

0:47:55.400 --> 0:47:59.000
<v Speaker 1>other options. You know, if he struggles, the Royals they're

0:47:59.000 --> 0:48:01.440
<v Speaker 1>projected to be one of the what three worst teams

0:48:01.440 --> 0:48:03.759
<v Speaker 1>in baseball this year. I don't know that they have

0:48:03.880 --> 0:48:07.239
<v Speaker 1>the luxury of saying, all right, Mondestee, you suck, you

0:48:07.320 --> 0:48:09.719
<v Speaker 1>gotta send you down. Now and we're gonna see what

0:48:09.719 --> 0:48:12.279
<v Speaker 1>else we get from this. You know, Joe Schmo, I

0:48:12.280 --> 0:48:14.520
<v Speaker 1>don't think that's gonna happen. I think even if he struggles,

0:48:14.640 --> 0:48:17.080
<v Speaker 1>they're gonna try and let him work through it. Again.

0:48:17.120 --> 0:48:19.279
<v Speaker 1>I don't want him in any kind of like head

0:48:19.320 --> 0:48:22.680
<v Speaker 1>to head format where it's even if it's categories, because

0:48:22.680 --> 0:48:24.239
<v Speaker 1>I do think he's gonna be a streaky player. I

0:48:24.280 --> 0:48:26.640
<v Speaker 1>think he's gonna be very streaky, which lends itself better

0:48:27.120 --> 0:48:30.759
<v Speaker 1>in the roto format. And he's a guy you know

0:48:30.840 --> 0:48:33.600
<v Speaker 1>you have to. I was trying to come up with

0:48:33.719 --> 0:48:36.920
<v Speaker 1>what's the perfect scenario to draft Adalberto mondacy if you

0:48:37.000 --> 0:48:40.879
<v Speaker 1>do in a rhoto draft, right, and there were two

0:48:40.960 --> 0:48:43.239
<v Speaker 1>names that if I get these guys in the first round,

0:48:43.680 --> 0:48:46.360
<v Speaker 1>Adalberto Mondessey would end up being a conscious target of

0:48:46.400 --> 0:48:49.239
<v Speaker 1>mine like round three or four, and that would be

0:48:49.719 --> 0:48:54.399
<v Speaker 1>Jati Martinez or Nolan Ardando because I think I think

0:48:54.400 --> 0:48:57.040
<v Speaker 1>they're perfect. I think they're perfect commiments to each other.

0:48:57.760 --> 0:49:00.960
<v Speaker 1>Because Jadie Martinez, look, Jade teams Is in Nolan Aronado

0:49:01.000 --> 0:49:04.160
<v Speaker 1>are both four category players. We're gonna give you batting average,

0:49:04.160 --> 0:49:06.600
<v Speaker 1>they're gonna give you power runs and RBIs there're gonnave

0:49:06.600 --> 0:49:09.480
<v Speaker 1>you no stolen basis. They are perfect players that you

0:49:09.520 --> 0:49:12.160
<v Speaker 1>can pare with the guy like Adelberto Mondessey, where you

0:49:12.160 --> 0:49:14.759
<v Speaker 1>can kind of take the hit at batting average, but

0:49:14.760 --> 0:49:15.920
<v Speaker 1>he's gonna give you a little bit of pop and

0:49:15.960 --> 0:49:17.560
<v Speaker 1>he's gonna give you a lot of stolen basis. Let

0:49:17.560 --> 0:49:21.640
<v Speaker 1>me give you two names going around, Albert, I want

0:49:21.640 --> 0:49:25.400
<v Speaker 1>to know who you'd rather have, Adelberg Alondessey or Anthony Rendon.

0:49:29.560 --> 0:49:35.239
<v Speaker 1>It's a lineup construction question because look if I took

0:49:35.440 --> 0:49:37.719
<v Speaker 1>if I took in a Kuna or I took a

0:49:37.840 --> 0:49:39.960
<v Speaker 1>yellow in the first round, and I already have kind

0:49:39.960 --> 0:49:44.120
<v Speaker 1>of a base of stolen bases. Anthony Rea is another

0:49:44.120 --> 0:49:45.960
<v Speaker 1>one of these four category players. He doesn't have as

0:49:46.040 --> 0:49:49.120
<v Speaker 1>much pop as a guy like Ronado, and that's why

0:49:49.160 --> 0:49:50.839
<v Speaker 1>he goes in the third, fourth round. He's gonna give

0:49:50.840 --> 0:49:52.680
<v Speaker 1>you good batting average, gonna give you runs in RBIs.

0:49:53.320 --> 0:49:56.480
<v Speaker 1>So that's a lineup construction question to me, Greg, If

0:49:56.480 --> 0:49:58.560
<v Speaker 1>I have a first round pick who already gave me

0:49:58.600 --> 0:50:01.160
<v Speaker 1>some stolen bases, and I would take I would take

0:50:01.160 --> 0:50:03.400
<v Speaker 1>Anthemy Brando. If I ended up getting one of these

0:50:03.440 --> 0:50:07.040
<v Speaker 1>four category players, it gives me nothing in stolen basis,

0:50:08.320 --> 0:50:10.040
<v Speaker 1>and I would I would, I would go with the

0:50:10.120 --> 0:50:13.360
<v Speaker 1>Adalbert modesty, would really have Adalberto Mondescy or Vladimir Garra,

0:50:17.960 --> 0:50:21.160
<v Speaker 1>Vladim mcguaro. I'm not gonna own him. It's just it's

0:50:21.160 --> 0:50:23.839
<v Speaker 1>too high of a price tag. I'd rather wait five

0:50:23.960 --> 0:50:27.000
<v Speaker 1>rounds and take Eloy Jimenez. I know that, you know

0:50:27.080 --> 0:50:32.120
<v Speaker 1>vladimgarrals I can't miss prospect and I made this comparison right.

0:50:32.120 --> 0:50:34.560
<v Speaker 1>It reminds me a lot of rookie running backs coming

0:50:34.560 --> 0:50:37.400
<v Speaker 1>into the NFL, like Ezeki Elliott, Sea Kwon Barkley, who

0:50:38.480 --> 0:50:40.480
<v Speaker 1>we've never seen them taking a take a snap in

0:50:40.480 --> 0:50:43.279
<v Speaker 1>the NFL, but their generational talents right, and those guys

0:50:43.320 --> 0:50:46.000
<v Speaker 1>have kind of proved anyone who has said that wrong.

0:50:46.480 --> 0:50:48.520
<v Speaker 1>So Vladim mcguarol might be able to do the same thing.

0:50:49.440 --> 0:50:52.440
<v Speaker 1>Can't just directly compare because of different sports, But that's

0:50:52.440 --> 0:50:56.160
<v Speaker 1>what everyone's saying about Vladim mcgarraeol, you can't miss. I'd

0:50:56.239 --> 0:50:59.760
<v Speaker 1>rather wait five or six rounds and take another supposed

0:50:59.760 --> 0:51:02.560
<v Speaker 1>to miss prospect in Eloy Amenaz. Like why is why

0:51:02.640 --> 0:51:04.920
<v Speaker 1>is the difference between those guys that far? How much?

0:51:05.480 --> 0:51:07.279
<v Speaker 1>How much do you think Vladim Guerrero goes for the

0:51:07.320 --> 0:51:14.680
<v Speaker 1>auction and should we now nate him first? I I

0:51:14.719 --> 0:51:22.880
<v Speaker 1>could see him going like Bucks, is that warranted? I

0:51:22.960 --> 0:51:25.799
<v Speaker 1>got some auction values. Let me see how MNA say

0:51:25.840 --> 0:51:29.640
<v Speaker 1>have him down. I'm just wondering. What I'm looking at

0:51:29.719 --> 0:51:31.400
<v Speaker 1>is twenty five is what he should go for in

0:51:31.440 --> 0:51:35.880
<v Speaker 1>a teams This is probably all right. I said twenty two.

0:51:35.920 --> 0:51:40.440
<v Speaker 1>He's probably twenty. So do you I don't know. Are

0:51:40.440 --> 0:51:42.600
<v Speaker 1>you gonna be on him? Would you rather have VLADIMC.

0:51:42.600 --> 0:51:45.600
<v Speaker 1>Guerrero or Edelbert Homondessey. It sounds like you don't really

0:51:45.600 --> 0:51:49.080
<v Speaker 1>want anything to do with Edelbert Tomondessey. I think I'd

0:51:49.160 --> 0:51:52.600
<v Speaker 1>rather have lad and it's more fun. It's more fun.

0:51:52.920 --> 0:51:55.040
<v Speaker 1>Just you know, I just spent like ten minutes kind

0:51:55.040 --> 0:51:58.080
<v Speaker 1>of like talking up ed Albert Homondessey. He's not really

0:51:58.120 --> 0:52:01.360
<v Speaker 1>an act of target of mine. I do think in

0:52:01.400 --> 0:52:04.719
<v Speaker 1>the right situation it makes sense. We've got like if

0:52:04.719 --> 0:52:07.920
<v Speaker 1>you draft An Erronado or J D. Martinez. I haven't

0:52:07.960 --> 0:52:10.440
<v Speaker 1>really been in that situation yet, but you know, maybe

0:52:10.560 --> 0:52:12.600
<v Speaker 1>in the future if I am, He's a player that

0:52:12.640 --> 0:52:15.120
<v Speaker 1>I would look at. But there are other short stops

0:52:15.160 --> 0:52:17.759
<v Speaker 1>that me personally, I could get later on or you know,

0:52:17.800 --> 0:52:19.600
<v Speaker 1>I would use my I would rather use my second

0:52:19.640 --> 0:52:21.880
<v Speaker 1>round pick on Trevor Story than use my third or

0:52:21.920 --> 0:52:25.080
<v Speaker 1>forth round pick on Monescy like I'd rather that's a

0:52:25.160 --> 0:52:27.560
<v Speaker 1>that's a target of mine. I'd rather target Story or

0:52:27.760 --> 0:52:29.560
<v Speaker 1>even a little bit later on. We'll get into some

0:52:29.560 --> 0:52:31.880
<v Speaker 1>of these guys. I'd rather target guy like Jean Sigura

0:52:31.960 --> 0:52:34.759
<v Speaker 1>maybe too, you know, a round or two later, and

0:52:34.840 --> 0:52:36.840
<v Speaker 1>a guy like Modesty just because I've seen him do

0:52:36.880 --> 0:52:40.040
<v Speaker 1>it before. Would that targeted guy like Carlos Correa. But

0:52:40.800 --> 0:52:43.239
<v Speaker 1>I don't dislike where modesty is going. I think it's well,

0:52:43.320 --> 0:52:45.080
<v Speaker 1>it's fair. You think it's fair. I do. Two other

0:52:45.120 --> 0:52:48.200
<v Speaker 1>guys that are around Mondessey or Carlos Correa and Xander

0:52:48.400 --> 0:52:52.040
<v Speaker 1>Bogart's think of those guys, I would take modesty over

0:52:52.080 --> 0:52:55.239
<v Speaker 1>both without and I haven't ranked that way as well,

0:52:55.760 --> 0:52:58.880

0:54:39.400 --> 0:54:44.399
<v Speaker 1>Mondescy earlier than Bogarts and Corea. Are you out on

0:54:44.400 --> 0:54:47.000
<v Speaker 1>both those guys? Are you not targeting those guys? You're

0:54:47.040 --> 0:54:51.480
<v Speaker 1>just having a like your boy. Well, I'll give you

0:54:51.520 --> 0:54:53.759
<v Speaker 1>my analysis of Bogart's first. I don't want anything to

0:54:53.760 --> 0:54:55.319
<v Speaker 1>do with Carl's Corea. I haven't ranked with my twelve

0:54:55.360 --> 0:54:57.560
<v Speaker 1>Frank shorts. Oh my god, people are probably gonna freak out.

0:54:57.680 --> 0:55:01.040
<v Speaker 1>I was just going over by NFPC. I don't want

0:55:01.040 --> 0:55:03.160
<v Speaker 1>anything to do with him. But then we'll get that

0:55:03.200 --> 0:55:05.399
<v Speaker 1>after the break with with Chris a Venture, but with

0:55:05.440 --> 0:55:07.920
<v Speaker 1>the with Xander Bogarts. I'll give you my analysis and

0:55:07.920 --> 0:55:09.239
<v Speaker 1>then you can kind of tell me what you think

0:55:09.239 --> 0:55:11.879
<v Speaker 1>about him. To me, he's been a little bit too

0:55:11.920 --> 0:55:14.840
<v Speaker 1>much all over the map in terms of career. Definitely,

0:55:15.000 --> 0:55:17.000
<v Speaker 1>I don't want to doubt the talent, because I think

0:55:16.960 --> 0:55:18.239
<v Speaker 1>you can use a talented player, and I think we

0:55:18.280 --> 0:55:21.160
<v Speaker 1>saw that last year. But I think that there's just

0:55:21.200 --> 0:55:24.640
<v Speaker 1>too much volatility and a guy like Xander Bogart's where

0:55:24.640 --> 0:55:25.879
<v Speaker 1>he's going, you know, you gotta use like a fourth

0:55:25.880 --> 0:55:28.080
<v Speaker 1>fifth round price tag on him. And look at one

0:55:28.120 --> 0:55:30.320
<v Speaker 1>year it's been last year. Twenty three home runs a

0:55:30.400 --> 0:55:35.480
<v Speaker 1>hundred and three RBIs great year before ten homers sixty

0:55:35.520 --> 0:55:38.960
<v Speaker 1>two RBIs to seventy three year before that home runs

0:55:38.960 --> 0:55:43.680
<v Speaker 1>a hundred fifty runs great year before that seven homers

0:55:44.080 --> 0:55:47.720
<v Speaker 1>one RBIs so an average of three three twenty batting average.

0:55:47.719 --> 0:55:49.719
<v Speaker 1>I do think that he's a legitimate hitter. Look, he's

0:55:49.760 --> 0:55:52.279
<v Speaker 1>a two eighty four career hitter, so you know I

0:55:52.320 --> 0:55:56.160
<v Speaker 1>trust that. Um last year we saw the flyball percentage

0:55:56.360 --> 0:55:59.680
<v Speaker 1>second highest of his career. He started to uh, raise

0:55:59.760 --> 0:56:02.120
<v Speaker 1>his unch hang a little bit. Last year thirty five

0:56:02.160 --> 0:56:04.440
<v Speaker 1>point six pent flive all rate. He hit twenty three

0:56:04.480 --> 0:56:06.239
<v Speaker 1>home runs and only a hundred and thirty six games.

0:56:06.239 --> 0:56:09.279
<v Speaker 1>Remember he missed some time last year, but his ice

0:56:09.640 --> 0:56:12.400
<v Speaker 1>was two thirty four, much higher than anything else that

0:56:12.440 --> 0:56:14.839
<v Speaker 1>we've ever seen in his career. His next closest mark

0:56:14.920 --> 0:56:18.760
<v Speaker 1>was one is so so, and he keep that up again.

0:56:18.840 --> 0:56:21.040
<v Speaker 1>You know, Xander Bogarts is still pretty young. He's only

0:56:21.560 --> 0:56:23.759
<v Speaker 1>six years old, so maybe he's another one of these

0:56:23.760 --> 0:56:26.359
<v Speaker 1>guys that's just kind of like making his natural progression here.

0:56:26.520 --> 0:56:29.560
<v Speaker 1>Thirties seven point nine percent hard hit rate. Okay, I

0:56:29.640 --> 0:56:31.600
<v Speaker 1>like it. I mean it's not like Trevor's story. It's

0:56:31.600 --> 0:56:33.960
<v Speaker 1>it's good for forty it's good. It's a lovely average.

0:56:33.960 --> 0:56:36.840
<v Speaker 1>It's it's fine. I like it. Um, I don't dislike

0:56:36.960 --> 0:56:41.000
<v Speaker 1>Xander Bogart's I think it's fine where he's going. I

0:56:41.040 --> 0:56:42.800
<v Speaker 1>think that there's just a little bit too much volatilty

0:56:42.880 --> 0:56:45.319
<v Speaker 1>year to year for him to be a target of

0:56:45.320 --> 0:56:50.040
<v Speaker 1>mine in the fourth, fifth round. That makes sense. I

0:56:50.080 --> 0:56:53.120
<v Speaker 1>like Xander Bogarts. I like them more in head to

0:56:53.120 --> 0:56:57.239
<v Speaker 1>head points. He makes a lot of contact. You know,

0:56:57.400 --> 0:56:59.960
<v Speaker 1>I like them more points than I do in proto's

0:57:00.000 --> 0:57:02.200
<v Speaker 1>gonna stand that anywhere. Yeah, we'll talk all about Bollgards
