38
00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:52,560
Speaker 1: with a great conversation about sho Heltani with Paul spor

39
00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:55,440
Speaker 1: and then get his take on some pitchers. It might

40
00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:59,120
Speaker 1: be able to crack next year's top ten let's talk

41
00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:03,360
Speaker 1: about it potentially as the number one player overall in

42
00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:04,960
Speaker 1: a lot of leagues, where he is one player, as

43
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:06,520
Speaker 1: he should be, because you know, in real life he's

44
00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:09,640
Speaker 1: one player. Let's start at the top here. What is

45
00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:12,160
Speaker 1: the ceiling for Showeyotani? Last time on the broadcast, I

46
00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:14,880
Speaker 1: heard somebody say, you know, he is Jacob de grom

47
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:16,760
Speaker 1: ceiling if he just decided to pitch.

48
00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:17,160
Speaker 3: Now.

49
00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:19,120
Speaker 1: I don't know if I agree necessarily with that, but

50
00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:22,959
Speaker 1: it is a provocative idea. How do you value Otani

51
00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:25,840
Speaker 1: this year in your salary cap leagues, in your snake

52
00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:27,840
Speaker 1: draft leagues, and how do you value him with the

53
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:31,400
Speaker 1: risk that comes with being an everyday hitter on top

54
00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:33,120
Speaker 1: of the pitching status he brings.

55
00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:35,200
Speaker 4: I mean, I actually kind of agree with that. I

56
00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:36,840
Speaker 4: think it was actually Smoltz who said it, and I

57
00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:40,160
Speaker 4: know that the baseball community we give a lot of

58
00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:42,040
Speaker 4: pushback to Smoltz on a lot of things he says,

59
00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:44,400
Speaker 4: and I tend to agree with that pushback, but on

60
00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:46,280
Speaker 4: that I don't think he's too far off. I do

61
00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:49,080
Speaker 4: think Otani, if he was just a pitcher, could be

62
00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:51,240
Speaker 4: de Grom if he's just a hitter. He looks a

63
00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:53,880
Speaker 4: lot like his teammate Mike Trout too, So the fact

64
00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:58,320
Speaker 4: that he's both is insane. Not full volume of the pitching,

65
00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:01,960
Speaker 4: but full enough a full volume hitter, Like that's just

66
00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:05,800
Speaker 4: truly unreal. In any league where he's all one player,

67
00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:08,160
Speaker 4: you get everything. If he's not the one one, you

68
00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:10,480
Speaker 4: have messed up. It's not an opinion, it is just

69
00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:12,919
Speaker 4: unquestionably the one one. But in the league where you

70
00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:14,880
Speaker 4: have to pick every week, I think you could still

71
00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:17,679
Speaker 4: take him one one. I don't think he's the undisputed

72
00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:20,720
Speaker 4: must go there, but I do believe that o'tani has

73
00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:22,960
Speaker 4: that sort of cachet that you can go ahead and

74
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:23,400
Speaker 4: do that.

75
00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:24,600
Speaker 5: You know, when when he.

76
00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:27,400
Speaker 4: First broke out, it was like, Okay, the hitting was

77
00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:30,120
Speaker 4: what we were knowing him for. The pitching was still

78
00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:33,079
Speaker 4: a question right those first two years. Uh, the pitching

79
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:34,760
Speaker 4: really was up in the air, and to the point

80
00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:35,320
Speaker 4: where he was.

81
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:37,040
Speaker 6: Just hitting for a while.

82
00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:41,080
Speaker 4: Now he's doing both back back to back seasons brilliantly.

83
00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:43,760
Speaker 4: If you put him in as your hitter, yeah, you

84
00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:46,160
Speaker 4: use up your util. Just be a better drafter. Like

85
00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:49,080
Speaker 4: freaking out about that is like so insane to me.

86
00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:52,200
Speaker 4: Just put him in your util and you have a

87
00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:54,840
Speaker 4: backup ace if you need it. If you're hitting pops

88
00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:57,320
Speaker 4: off and you draft a bunch of great hitting, go

89
00:03:57,360 --> 00:03:59,800
Speaker 4: ahead and slot him into the pitching spot. I love,

90
00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:02,560
Speaker 4: I would take him as high as one. I'm certainly

91
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:05,360
Speaker 4: not letting him get past the middle of a first round.

92
00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:08,400
Speaker 4: It is interesting that sometimes he dips his what was

93
00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:10,880
Speaker 4: like ten or eleven in a draft, though, and that's

94
00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:11,440
Speaker 4: crazy to me.

95
00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:13,320
Speaker 5: You know, I want to real, Joe, I want to

96
00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:15,000
Speaker 5: actually go on this for just one second, because I

97
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:18,320
Speaker 5: think that analogy is really interesting. So Otani being Jacob

98
00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:21,799
Speaker 5: de Gram. Otani last season one hundred and sixty six innings,

99
00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:25,240
Speaker 5: a just about twelve k per nine, little over two

100
00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:27,359
Speaker 5: walk per nine, with a two three three ERA and

101
00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:32,680
Speaker 5: fifteen wins. Jacob de Gram, who everybody Paul says could

102
00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:34,400
Speaker 5: be the number one, will be the number one if

103
00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:37,000
Speaker 5: he just pitches one hundred and forty innings. His projections

104
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:41,200
Speaker 5: on the bat are eleven wins, a two seven three ERA,

105
00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:44,000
Speaker 5: a twelve point five k p nine, a little over

106
00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:49,120
Speaker 5: two walk. Essentially, Jacob de Gram's projections this year are

107
00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:52,440
Speaker 5: what Otani did last year. I mean, it's a compare comparison.

108
00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:54,000
Speaker 4: There you go, and you know, he was pretty brilliant

109
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:55,720
Speaker 4: in twenty twenty one as well. You know, a three

110
00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:58,560
Speaker 4: eighteen and one oh nine on the ERA and whip

111
00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:01,760
Speaker 4: back for twenty twenty one for Otawanni pretty darn good

112
00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:04,480
Speaker 4: as well. He upped the Anti with his pitching last year.

113
00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:07,080
Speaker 4: He's just so brilliant. And yeah, there's risk because he's

114
00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:10,320
Speaker 4: doing everything out there, but there's risk to everybody. If

115
00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:13,760
Speaker 4: you're playing, you are at risk, sometimes not even of

116
00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:16,320
Speaker 4: anything that you're doing. Look what happened now, Tuve, Look

117
00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:19,040
Speaker 4: what happened to Edwin Diaz. That's freak as freak can get.

118
00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:21,680
Speaker 4: But Altuve just getting hit by a pitch, broken thumb.

119
00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:24,120
Speaker 4: So the idea, and I've been pushing on this all

120
00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:26,000
Speaker 4: off season and for a couple of years now, but

121
00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:28,800
Speaker 4: the idea of safety is a myth, and stop buying

122
00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:32,479
Speaker 4: into that. Stop taking lesser players because they're safe, Take

123
00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:34,760
Speaker 4: the best talent. That doesn't mean there's no injury risk.

124
00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:36,839
Speaker 4: I'm not sitting here telling you that Jacob de gram

125
00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:39,000
Speaker 4: has zero risk and he should be the one to

126
00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:42,119
Speaker 4: one automatically. But if you're taking a much lesser picture

127
00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:44,760
Speaker 4: because they're safe versus de Grom, but you really believe

128
00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:46,719
Speaker 4: that de Gram is the number one picture. I think

129
00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:49,920
Speaker 4: you're doing it wrong. I think we overestimate the safety

130
00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:53,400
Speaker 4: while giving too much credence to the to the risk

131
00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:56,080
Speaker 4: factor of guys that do have some health concerns. So

132
00:05:56,279 --> 00:05:58,680
Speaker 4: people have the splits like this big. I think it's

133
00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:01,039
Speaker 4: closer to this. There are certain guys that carry some

134
00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:03,200
Speaker 4: extra risk, like a Chris Saale, like a Jacob deGrom,

135
00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:05,719
Speaker 4: but the safe guys are just right here because they're

136
00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:06,760
Speaker 4: always one pitch away.

137
00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:09,720
Speaker 1: All right, let's talk about that top ten and who

138
00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:12,159
Speaker 1: might find themselves in it next year, because as you

139
00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:16,279
Speaker 1: mentioned before, well she got Strider, Verlander, Schurzer, McClanahan rounding

140
00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:18,560
Speaker 1: out that top ten. Who's outside of the top ten

141
00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:20,520
Speaker 1: right now for you, Paul, that you think is going

142
00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:22,160
Speaker 1: to make that leap this year because there's lots of

143
00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:24,360
Speaker 1: interesting names. You got guys like Manoa and Freed coming

144
00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:27,520
Speaker 1: off really good seasons. Maybe there's another leap potentially for them.

145
00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:30,920
Speaker 1: You've got the flamethrower of you know, the guys like

146
00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:33,600
Speaker 1: Christian Javier Zach Gallen coming off a good season. Maybe

147
00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:35,920
Speaker 1: that team's improved. Who are some of the candidates you

148
00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:37,560
Speaker 1: think they could crack the top ten this year because

149
00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:39,520
Speaker 1: you mentioned there's a lot of age in this top

150
00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:42,080
Speaker 1: ten as a well thing, guys like Verlander.

151
00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:43,560
Speaker 4: And Suser, and that's why I think there could be

152
00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:46,320
Speaker 4: some turnover for sher McClanahan just got in there or

153
00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:49,000
Speaker 4: else he'd be an easy candidate for this. I think

154
00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:52,400
Speaker 4: a re jump into the top ten for me is

155
00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:54,360
Speaker 4: somebody like Shane Bieber. I think he's being a bit

156
00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:57,080
Speaker 4: slept on, not to an overwhelming degree. It's a sleeper

157
00:06:57,120 --> 00:06:59,479
Speaker 4: relative to the upper end of the draft. He is

158
00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:02,880
Speaker 4: thirteen at SP, but he doesn't get much chatter, not

159
00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:05,200
Speaker 4: positive chattering, gets a lot of negative chatter. And I

160
00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:07,599
Speaker 4: really love Bieber. I still think, Yeah, the VLO dipped

161
00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:10,000
Speaker 4: and he still had an amazing season. The swing and

162
00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:11,680
Speaker 4: miss is still there at a high level. I think

163
00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:14,480
Speaker 4: he can regain a bunch of those strikeouts and continue

164
00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:16,520
Speaker 4: to be an absolute stud. So I could see Bieber

165
00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:18,960
Speaker 4: getting back into that top ten. I think you look

166
00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:21,720
Speaker 4: at somebody like Luis Castill fully out of Cincinnati for

167
00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:24,680
Speaker 4: the entire year in Seattle. I'm very excited about what

168
00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:27,840
Speaker 4: he could do. You hinted at Christian Hoabier, who's kind

169
00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:30,040
Speaker 4: of like a baby Strider in that he just hasn't

170
00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:32,720
Speaker 4: quite done it to Streider's degree just yet. But I

171
00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:35,400
Speaker 4: think he's like right there, that two pitch guy who's

172
00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:38,600
Speaker 4: just so overwhelming that it's really hard to ignore how

173
00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:40,760
Speaker 4: brilliant he is, even though he only has two pitches,

174
00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:42,920
Speaker 4: which is normally a big scare for us in the

175
00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:46,000
Speaker 4: fantasy world. Zach Gallon was a great call out. I

176
00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:48,200
Speaker 4: think that you made there too. And then one that

177
00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:50,640
Speaker 4: I would say is a little bit deeper, but I

178
00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:53,360
Speaker 4: definitely could see it is Manoa. You know, I really

179
00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:56,000
Speaker 4: do like what Manoa does. You know, Like he's one

180
00:07:56,040 --> 00:07:57,800
Speaker 4: of those guys that, like I see reasons to be

181
00:07:57,840 --> 00:08:00,360
Speaker 4: against him, and I've written those reasons out before, including

182
00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:02,720
Speaker 4: last year where I said my heart versus my head,

183
00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:05,040
Speaker 4: my heart loves him, my head says be careful of this.

184
00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:07,720
Speaker 4: Platoon split the home run issues, and he went out

185
00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:10,560
Speaker 4: and performed again. He's seventeen on the board here.

186
00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:11,520
Speaker 1: I think he's just.

187
00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:12,160
Speaker 6: Got that bulldog.

188
00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:13,720
Speaker 4: He's got that hit factor, and I know that that's

189
00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:16,200
Speaker 4: not super tangible, and we're in the stats age where

190
00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:19,280
Speaker 4: you want everything mapped out statistically. Sometimes I just go

191
00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:21,200
Speaker 4: with the gut and say the dude's got it.

192
00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:22,240
Speaker 6: I'm in on him.

193
00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:24,680
Speaker 4: I love Alec Manoa, so I could see him bumping

194
00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:26,800
Speaker 4: up there too. I really love where he's at at

195
00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:29,320
Speaker 4: SP seventeen right now, and the consensus rankings over at

196
00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:30,000
Speaker 4: Fantasy pros.

197
00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:31,880
Speaker 1: My question, who are those guys for you? Because I

198
00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:33,200
Speaker 1: want to get that. I want that get out of

199
00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:35,160
Speaker 1: you too. Who's the guy that cracks the top ten

200
00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:37,640
Speaker 1: for you that's not currently being drafted the top ten?

201
00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:40,599
Speaker 5: Well, it's interesting, it's not Manoa. I'm worried about the

202
00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:43,280
Speaker 5: low K numbers overall with Manoa, and he also had

203
00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:45,840
Speaker 5: a pretty big like x fibsier compared to his era,

204
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:47,800
Speaker 5: so I feel like that's going to balloon and he

205
00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:51,760
Speaker 5: doesn't have the He just doesn't have that extra wiggle

206
00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:53,920
Speaker 5: room like a Dylan ce Like. I actually hate Dylan

207
00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:56,680
Speaker 5: Cees this year, but Dylan Sees has those big strikeout

208
00:08:56,720 --> 00:08:59,080
Speaker 5: numbers and those can kind of carry him up. But

209
00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:01,040
Speaker 5: to answer your question, outside the top ten guy that

210
00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:04,120
Speaker 5: could break in, I think Zach Allen is someone that

211
00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:05,920
Speaker 5: jumps out to me. But this is also the guy

212
00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:08,200
Speaker 5: I'm going to give you. Because I wanted to ask

213
00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:11,080
Speaker 5: Paul this question, I'm going to say Christian Javier, and

214
00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:14,319
Speaker 5: I love the strikeout numbers. He's been efficient as a

215
00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:17,200
Speaker 5: two pitch pitcher. Team context is huge, and Paul I

216
00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:22,440
Speaker 5: was curious, what is more likely Christian Xavier becomes last

217
00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:25,760
Speaker 5: year Spencer Strider. Where Spencer Strider becomes the number one

218
00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:28,200
Speaker 5: overall pitcher in fantasy, what's more likely?

219
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:33,520
Speaker 4: That's a really good question there. It's probably that Strider

220
00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:36,400
Speaker 4: becomes number one, because I mean, he probably wasn't that

221
00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:38,760
Speaker 4: far from it. Lash I don't remember exactly where he

222
00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:41,960
Speaker 4: finished with one hundred and thirty one innings, and interestingly enough,

223
00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:45,960
Speaker 4: I was calling Javier baby Streider. Javier had more innings,

224
00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:49,200
Speaker 4: but his hobber's excuse me, Strider's rates were just so

225
00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:52,680
Speaker 4: far off the charts. But yeah, like with what Strider

226
00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:55,000
Speaker 4: is able to do, he doesn't even need that many

227
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:57,120
Speaker 4: more innings. I think what like twenty twenty five more

228
00:09:57,120 --> 00:09:59,440
Speaker 4: innings up to the mid one fifties would give him

229
00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:01,240
Speaker 4: a great shot at being the number one guy. And

230
00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:04,079
Speaker 4: so that's to say nothing against Javier, But between those

231
00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:05,960
Speaker 4: two things, I would say Strider having the better chance

232
00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:09,560
Speaker 4: of becoming the number one. As for Javier, becoming this

233
00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:13,680
Speaker 4: year's Strider, where he parlays a lower than expected innings total,

234
00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:16,240
Speaker 4: let's say a non qualified innings total, which means you

235
00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:17,559
Speaker 4: have to have one hundred and sixty two innings to

236
00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:20,079
Speaker 4: qualify for the er title. He had one forty eight

237
00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:23,000
Speaker 4: point two last year in two thirds rather and so

238
00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:26,160
Speaker 4: he could do that again. Xavier could be on the

239
00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:30,000
Speaker 4: sub one sixty two train, and yet his rates and

240
00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:33,000
Speaker 4: his strikeout capability could be so good that he could

241
00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:34,839
Speaker 4: just do what Strider does and put up like a

242
00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:39,000
Speaker 4: top twelve, top fifteen type season. I can totally see

243
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:41,319
Speaker 4: it again here from Javier. And if you're not quite

244
00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:43,280
Speaker 4: ready to pay the premium for Strider because he is

245
00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:45,840
Speaker 4: very expensive, just wait a little bit and get Javier.

246
00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:48,400
Speaker 4: It's a definite nice pivot there if you really want

247
00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:50,840
Speaker 4: somebody with that kind of crazy upside, but you're not

248
00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:54,400
Speaker 4: quite ready to pay pay the toll that Strider is

249
00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:56,120
Speaker 4: asking for as sp seven.

250
00:10:57,240 --> 00:11:00,440
Speaker 1: Great stuff there from Paul spor And speaking of great

251
00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:03,200
Speaker 1: pitching minds, how about we hit up our good friend

252
00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:06,760
Speaker 1: Nick Pollock once again, who was on earlier this week.

253
00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:10,319
Speaker 1: We're gonna talk about some starting pitchers outside of the

254
00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:13,320
Speaker 1: top fifty who can make that jump into the top

255
00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:17,520
Speaker 1: fifty and his latest take on Reed Debt Merse. Let's go,

256
00:11:17,559 --> 00:11:19,400
Speaker 1: we're gonna talk about some of the guys outside of

257
00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:22,560
Speaker 1: the top fifty through one hundred. We're gonna start digging

258
00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:24,880
Speaker 1: deep right now. And some of those names here at

259
00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:27,400
Speaker 1: the very top, Tony Gonzol and Drew Rasmussen over on

260
00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:31,600
Speaker 1: Fantasy Pros, Jordan Montgomery, Brady's Singer, Grayson Rodriguez, and John Gray.

261
00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:36,599
Speaker 1: Those are the guys right outside the top fifty, So Gonsolin, Montgomery, Singer, Rodriguez,

262
00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:40,720
Speaker 1: and Gray. Of those guys here I'm talking about, in

263
00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:44,479
Speaker 1: your opinion, Nick, who has the best option to potentially

264
00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:47,520
Speaker 1: leap well past where they're going right now in the fifty.

265
00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:49,640
Speaker 1: I know Montgomery had a really good season last year,

266
00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:52,520
Speaker 1: winning up with the Cardinals. Brady Singer was very steady,

267
00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:56,960
Speaker 1: but on an unspectacular team. Rasmussen is, you know again,

268
00:11:57,080 --> 00:11:59,920
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay Rays pitcher, so everyone's always curious about that.

269
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:01,559
Speaker 1: And then Tony guns when going into this year with

270
00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:04,280
Speaker 1: an injury, and obviously everything broke his way last season.

271
00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:07,080
Speaker 1: And then of course you've got John Gray, who nothing

272
00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:09,360
Speaker 1: ever breaks his way any season, poor John Gray. I

273
00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:11,920
Speaker 1: want to send him an edible arrangement, and Grayson Rodriguez,

274
00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:13,880
Speaker 1: who has a ton of upside. Those are the five

275
00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:16,440
Speaker 1: guys right outside the top fifty in your opinion, who's

276
00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:19,280
Speaker 1: got the best chance to go well passed where they're

277
00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:20,360
Speaker 1: going in ADP right now.

278
00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:23,560
Speaker 7: So I do want to emphasize in twelve teamers, this

279
00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:26,760
Speaker 7: is the beginning of where you should be taking chances

280
00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:29,560
Speaker 7: and doing the misfrizzle method. You know, take chances, make mistakes,

281
00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:32,319
Speaker 7: get messy because you do want to go after the

282
00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:35,800
Speaker 7: upside instead of settling for a what I call it Toby,

283
00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:38,439
Speaker 7: a middling pitcher that is fine, but it does not win.

284
00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:41,240
Speaker 7: You're in your league and you don't really want to

285
00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:43,760
Speaker 7: just be okay with the men burner of your pitching stuff.

286
00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:45,360
Speaker 7: You want to have an excellent pitching stuff, so you

287
00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:47,839
Speaker 7: want to take chances and guess what, the waiver wire

288
00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:49,680
Speaker 7: has a lot of options that if it doesn't work out,

289
00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:52,760
Speaker 7: you can swamp them. So that means for me, Jordan

290
00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:55,080
Speaker 7: Montgomery is okay, but I don't think he has that

291
00:12:55,160 --> 00:12:58,440
Speaker 7: top twenty upside in him. The fastballs just don't do enough,

292
00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:01,080
Speaker 7: and he's not as efficient and overwhelmed with this change

293
00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:03,840
Speaker 7: up in curveball. Brady Singer is still a two pitch pitcher.

294
00:13:03,880 --> 00:13:07,080
Speaker 7: It's sinkers for called strikes, sliders for whiffs. I don't

295
00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:11,200
Speaker 7: really think there's much different about him in twenty twenty

296
00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:13,800
Speaker 7: two from twenty twenty one, which means he's a bit

297
00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:14,440
Speaker 7: of a cherry bomb.

298
00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:17,120
Speaker 6: He's very volatile, will be super sweet or blow up

299
00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:18,520
Speaker 6: in your face. Not really for me.

300
00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:22,000
Speaker 7: Tony Gonsolin allowed far too fewer hits than he should

301
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:22,520
Speaker 7: have last year.

302
00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:23,560
Speaker 6: He also has a world ankle.

303
00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:26,240
Speaker 7: I think that is a clear regression candidate, with a

304
00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:27,920
Speaker 7: guy throwing a splitter that.

305
00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:29,560
Speaker 6: Should not get as many strikes as it should.

306
00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:33,280
Speaker 7: John Gray has a really good slider and a fastball that,

307
00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:36,000
Speaker 7: even at its peak last year during his ace run,

308
00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:38,360
Speaker 7: still had a sub ten percent winning strike rate.

309
00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:41,000
Speaker 6: I think he doesn't have enough in that arsenal, which.

310
00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:45,120
Speaker 7: Leaves Grayson Rodriguez, who is clearly the best pitcher here.

311
00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:47,880
Speaker 6: The only question we have is how many innings is

312
00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:48,720
Speaker 6: he going to get?

313
00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:50,880
Speaker 7: But then you look back at last year and you

314
00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:54,400
Speaker 7: know that guys like Spencer Strider and Christian Javier, if

315
00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:57,280
Speaker 7: they're pitching high quality of innings. It doesn't matter that

316
00:13:57,320 --> 00:13:59,440
Speaker 7: they go under one hundred and fifty innings for this season.

317
00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:02,840
Speaker 7: They're still gonna make massive impacts for fantasy leagues. And

318
00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:05,560
Speaker 7: the fact that Grayson Rodriguez should be in that rotation

319
00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:09,360
Speaker 7: from day one for the Orioles sign me up.

320
00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:10,120
Speaker 6: Inside of that park.

321
00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:13,200
Speaker 7: I literally just took him about ten minutes ago in

322
00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:16,680
Speaker 7: the pictureless Legacy League that is like the Championship, Premier League.

323
00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:18,400
Speaker 7: Whatever the top one is for football, I don't know

324
00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:21,680
Speaker 7: what it is, the best one an hour across all

325
00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:24,120
Speaker 7: of our staff. I just took Grayson Rodriguez ahead of

326
00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:27,240
Speaker 7: those other guys. So I put my money where my

327
00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:29,960
Speaker 7: mouth is and I'm going after Grayson Rodriguez.

328
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:32,120
Speaker 5: You got to relegate Alex Fast from that pross.

329
00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:32,680
Speaker 6: I should have.

330
00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:36,360
Speaker 7: Got lucky someone else had to leave, otherwise he would

331
00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:37,160
Speaker 7: have been relegated.

332
00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:41,200
Speaker 5: So number fifty six, it's I'm very happy that Joe

333
00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:43,840
Speaker 5: stopped right there, because number fifty six, I think warrants

334
00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:46,120
Speaker 5: so much conversation. I got a video coming out here

335
00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:48,240
Speaker 5: in Fantasy Pros in the next couple of days about

336
00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:51,160
Speaker 5: the big players that experts are drafting, and he's been

337
00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:53,000
Speaker 5: a big sleeper of mine. I think a lot of

338
00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:55,320
Speaker 5: people and I believe everybody is trying to get him.

339
00:14:55,320 --> 00:14:57,760
Speaker 5: It is read Debt Merch who comes in at fifty

340
00:14:57,800 --> 00:15:01,520
Speaker 5: six on Fantasy pros ADP. He's upticked the slider, which

341
00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:04,720
Speaker 5: is almost it's bordering or actually pushing like a power slider.

342
00:15:04,760 --> 00:15:06,360
Speaker 5: You get into that ninety mile per hour range on

343
00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:08,640
Speaker 5: a slider. That's a big power slider. He's upticked that.

344
00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:11,880
Speaker 5: He's upticked the velocity on the fastball. He's got a curveball.

345
00:15:12,080 --> 00:15:15,840
Speaker 5: He pumped strikes. Redebtmers is moving into a situation where

346
00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:19,240
Speaker 5: he looks like he might have the highest upside of

347
00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:22,800
Speaker 5: any pitcher outside the top fifty. But what say you?

348
00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:25,440
Speaker 5: Do you buy into the Redebtmers hype and are you

349
00:15:25,520 --> 00:15:26,760
Speaker 5: trying to get your shares?

350
00:15:27,400 --> 00:15:29,360
Speaker 7: I mean, what's really funny is I just said I

351
00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:34,280
Speaker 7: took Grayson Rodriguez the previous round. I took Redebtmers. So yeah,

352
00:15:34,280 --> 00:15:36,240
Speaker 7: I've been on the redebtmvers train for a long time.

353
00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:38,400
Speaker 7: This time last year is on the redebtmvers train. And

354
00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:40,320
Speaker 7: he showed up and did not have the slider we

355
00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:43,240
Speaker 7: saw in the spring, and that was really unfortunate. He

356
00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:46,200
Speaker 7: developed it mid season, we went to the miners, tweaked

357
00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:48,600
Speaker 7: his mechanics, got the slider whiffs once again, had a

358
00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:51,720
Speaker 7: fantastic second half. And now Redetmers, who was sitting around

359
00:15:51,800 --> 00:15:54,960
Speaker 7: ninety three last year with his fastball. His fastball wasn't

360
00:15:55,840 --> 00:15:57,560
Speaker 7: you could tell that it could get whiffs up in

361
00:15:57,600 --> 00:15:59,200
Speaker 7: the zone, but there's something kind of missing from it.

362
00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:02,680
Speaker 7: He's sitting ninety four to ninety seven in this in

363
00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:06,160
Speaker 7: spring training. Sitting that range. That means he's not gonna

364
00:16:06,160 --> 00:16:08,360
Speaker 7: be averaging ninety four. He's gonna be averaging ninety five.

365
00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:12,280
Speaker 7: And plus I am so in on that fastballs upstairs

366
00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:15,680
Speaker 7: with that slider whiffs down and glove side. He has

367
00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:17,560
Speaker 7: this good curveball he can get for strikes as well.

368
00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:20,280
Speaker 7: Sign me up for Redemers. I have him inside my

369
00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:23,560
Speaker 7: top forty for your twelve team leagues. I think everyone

370
00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:25,600
Speaker 7: should be getting Redemmers. Not to mention, he's gonna be

371
00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:28,680
Speaker 7: twenty four mid season. His development is going to continue.

372
00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:31,880
Speaker 7: It wasn't a plateau that or sorry, a peaky hit

373
00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:34,720
Speaker 7: last year. He is on the rise. We're gonna be

374
00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:37,160
Speaker 7: talking about him inside the top thirty next year for

375
00:16:37,280 --> 00:16:37,960
Speaker 7: starting pitchers.

376
00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:39,000
Speaker 6: And you have to get in now.

377
00:16:39,920 --> 00:16:42,000
Speaker 1: Always fun to have Nick Pollock on this show. It's

378
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:44,720
Speaker 1: always fun to have our good friend from CBS, Frank

379
00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:47,160
Speaker 1: Stamfel on the show as well. We had a great

380
00:16:47,160 --> 00:16:50,920
Speaker 1: conversation about some bus, including his thoughts on Michael Harris

381
00:16:50,920 --> 00:16:53,600
Speaker 1: of the Atlanta Braves and his ADP, and a little

382
00:16:53,640 --> 00:16:57,280
Speaker 1: bit about Dansby Swanson what our expectations should be for

383
00:16:57,360 --> 00:17:00,920
Speaker 1: him this year in Chicago. All right, so let's start

384
00:17:00,920 --> 00:17:03,720
Speaker 1: here with a guy who's getting drafted very high in drafts.

385
00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:06,720
Speaker 1: He's coming off a Rookie of the Year campaign and

386
00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:09,000
Speaker 1: a fantastic season. I think it was one of these

387
00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:12,400
Speaker 1: players that was flying under the radar just burst onto

388
00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:14,440
Speaker 1: the scene. Some people are waiting for the other shoe

389
00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:16,240
Speaker 1: to drop, and it just never did. It's Michael Harris

390
00:17:16,280 --> 00:17:18,040
Speaker 1: of the Atlanta Breys. Let's go through the one hundred

391
00:17:18,040 --> 00:17:20,040
Speaker 1: and fourteen game season for him in twenty twenty two,

392
00:17:20,359 --> 00:17:24,119
Speaker 1: seventy five runs, scores, sixty four ribis, nineteen bombs, twenty steals.

393
00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:26,400
Speaker 1: He had two to ninety seven. Everything came up Millhouse

394
00:17:26,680 --> 00:17:29,920
Speaker 1: for Michael Harris last year. Now, Frank, that's a Simpsons reference.

395
00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:31,359
Speaker 1: I don't know if you watch television. You said you

396
00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:33,960
Speaker 1: don't watch movies, but let's talk about him here because

397
00:17:34,400 --> 00:17:36,920
Speaker 1: twenty twenty is very valuable, especially in those roto leagues.

398
00:17:37,040 --> 00:17:40,359
Speaker 1: Right now, he is going as the twenty sixth hitter

399
00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:43,000
Speaker 1: off the board, the thirty eighth player overall. As far

400
00:17:43,040 --> 00:17:45,400
Speaker 1: as you're concern, that's a little too high. Why is that?

401
00:17:46,119 --> 00:17:47,919
Speaker 8: Yeah, this is a tough one for me, as it

402
00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:50,080
Speaker 8: is with many of the bus It's I don't think

403
00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:52,119
Speaker 8: some of these players are going to completely bottom out.

404
00:17:52,160 --> 00:17:54,080
Speaker 8: That's not the case for Michael Harris. I just think

405
00:17:54,119 --> 00:17:56,880
Speaker 8: they're just overvalued where they're being drafted right now. And

406
00:17:57,040 --> 00:17:59,200
Speaker 8: the adp for Michael Harris going in the third round.

407
00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:02,560
Speaker 8: He's a top ten outfielder being drafted. He was amazing

408
00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:05,080
Speaker 8: last year, but if you dig in, there were some

409
00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:07,600
Speaker 8: morning signs underneath the hood. So the plate discipline is

410
00:18:07,680 --> 00:18:10,120
Speaker 8: lacking just a five percent walk rate last year.

411
00:18:10,160 --> 00:18:11,600
Speaker 1: Twenty four percent strikeout rate.

412
00:18:11,680 --> 00:18:12,720
Speaker 5: That's fine.

413
00:18:12,760 --> 00:18:15,240
Speaker 8: I think he could live with that forty two percent

414
00:18:15,320 --> 00:18:17,399
Speaker 8: chase rate, so chases a lot of pitches outside the

415
00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:20,919
Speaker 8: strike zone. Will pitchers exploit him more doing that this

416
00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:24,040
Speaker 8: upcoming season? I think that's a possibility With Michael Harris

417
00:18:24,280 --> 00:18:26,960
Speaker 8: struggled against left handed pitching two thirty eight batting average

418
00:18:26,960 --> 00:18:29,200
Speaker 8: six forty nine ops. I think he's going to be

419
00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:31,520
Speaker 8: in the lineup every day because he's an amazing fielder.

420
00:18:31,920 --> 00:18:33,840
Speaker 8: That might actually be a detriment at times because he's

421
00:18:33,840 --> 00:18:36,280
Speaker 8: playing against lefties, and I don't think that the numbers

422
00:18:36,280 --> 00:18:38,840
Speaker 8: will be great against left handed pitching this season. And

423
00:18:38,960 --> 00:18:40,920
Speaker 8: he hits a lot of ground balls. So last year

424
00:18:40,920 --> 00:18:43,439
Speaker 8: he hit nineteen home runs in one hundred and fourteen games.

425
00:18:43,760 --> 00:18:46,040
Speaker 8: He did that with a twenty two point nine percent

426
00:18:46,080 --> 00:18:48,359
Speaker 8: home run to fly ball ratio. I just wonder if

427
00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:49,840
Speaker 8: that takes a little bit of a step back. With

428
00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:52,119
Speaker 8: as many ground balls as Michael Harris hits, is he

429
00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:54,600
Speaker 8: more of a fifteen home run guy.

430
00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:55,399
Speaker 5: He's really athletic.

431
00:18:55,440 --> 00:18:57,240
Speaker 8: I think he's going to steal bases, especially with the

432
00:18:57,240 --> 00:18:58,920
Speaker 8: new rules, but I think the batting average takes a

433
00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:01,520
Speaker 8: step back, maybe the power as well. I think he's

434
00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:03,680
Speaker 8: gonna be a really good player for real life baseball,

435
00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:06,000
Speaker 8: but for fantasy in the third round, I think it's

436
00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:07,200
Speaker 8: just a little bit too soon.

437
00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:08,080
Speaker 5: With Michael Harris.

438
00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:12,480
Speaker 1: The fantasy pros projections have him at nineteen homers, which

439
00:19:12,520 --> 00:19:14,560
Speaker 1: is exactly what had last year one hundred and fourteen games,

440
00:19:14,560 --> 00:19:18,280
Speaker 1: but obviously this is over a fuller season, twenty five

441
00:19:18,760 --> 00:19:21,320
Speaker 1: stolen bases, the batting average dropping down to two seventy eight.

442
00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:24,280
Speaker 1: He reeks to me, Welsh of one of these players, like,

443
00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:26,760
Speaker 1: if you are looking at last year and trying to

444
00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:29,200
Speaker 1: extrapolate it and say, well, for one hundred and fourteen

445
00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:31,679
Speaker 1: games he did X, why can't he do Why if

446
00:19:31,720 --> 00:19:33,879
Speaker 1: I just add forty more games? To me, that's a

447
00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:36,639
Speaker 1: little bit of a danger here. The regression batting average

448
00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:40,560
Speaker 1: feels a little bit right, the leveling off of the power,

449
00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:42,800
Speaker 1: but maybe just a little increase in stolen bases, especially

450
00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:45,240
Speaker 1: because some of the rule changes. All of those feel

451
00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:47,200
Speaker 1: about right to me. When it comes to Michael Harris.

452
00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:51,440
Speaker 1: That being said, are those projections enough to return investment

453
00:19:51,480 --> 00:19:52,000
Speaker 1: on this ADP?

454
00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:54,560
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think you said it right, Like it's dangerous

455
00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:57,680
Speaker 5: to pay this year for last year's stats. And there

456
00:19:57,680 --> 00:19:59,720
Speaker 5: are some warts in his game. I just don't hate

457
00:19:59,800 --> 00:20:02,280
Speaker 5: him or you know, put him as a bust like

458
00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:05,320
Speaker 5: Frank Mike. But even at the same point, like hating

459
00:20:05,359 --> 00:20:07,600
Speaker 5: and busting some of these guys, sometimes it's a little

460
00:20:07,640 --> 00:20:09,639
Speaker 5: bit like he's just not going to return the value.

461
00:20:09,800 --> 00:20:12,240
Speaker 5: You said something interesting in that, like, if you start

462
00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:14,640
Speaker 5: to extrapolate and you look at one hundred and fourteen games,

463
00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:16,360
Speaker 5: you go, well, he was nineteen and twenty. Now he's

464
00:20:16,359 --> 00:20:19,160
Speaker 5: going to be twenty seven and thirty. I actually think

465
00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:22,400
Speaker 5: Michael Harris, similar to what the projections are pushing, even

466
00:20:22,440 --> 00:20:24,360
Speaker 5: in a full season's game, is probably going to look

467
00:20:24,359 --> 00:20:26,119
Speaker 5: something similar to what he did last year, maybe a

468
00:20:26,119 --> 00:20:28,920
Speaker 5: little bit more RBI and runs. He does hit a

469
00:20:28,920 --> 00:20:30,399
Speaker 5: lot of ground balls. I would say one of the

470
00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:33,080
Speaker 5: benefits though, is he had eighty eight percentile max ev

471
00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:35,520
Speaker 5: so if you're hitting the ball really hard. To also

472
00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:39,280
Speaker 5: go with one of being the fastest, I believe sprint

473
00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:41,840
Speaker 5: speed was ninety five percentile, so you're also one of

474
00:20:41,880 --> 00:20:44,320
Speaker 5: the fastest players in baseball who's putting a big hard

475
00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:46,200
Speaker 5: hit number. So if you're hitting the ball on the ground,

476
00:20:46,560 --> 00:20:48,280
Speaker 5: is a little bit of extra wiggle room while also

477
00:20:48,280 --> 00:20:50,679
Speaker 5: stealing a bunch of bases. So I like him. I

478
00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:52,640
Speaker 5: think he's one of those guys though I'm a little

479
00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:55,359
Speaker 5: bit indifferent about because it's like he's just perfect. I

480
00:20:55,359 --> 00:20:57,040
Speaker 5: think he's going to be a twenty twenty guy. I

481
00:20:57,040 --> 00:20:59,040
Speaker 5: think it'll look good. I think he's a little bit

482
00:20:59,119 --> 00:21:01,760
Speaker 5: volatile because that walk rate. That walk rate doesn't give

483
00:21:01,840 --> 00:21:03,920
Speaker 5: him a lot of wiggle room. But at the same time,

484
00:21:04,119 --> 00:21:06,840
Speaker 5: look at how like Picky the Braves are and Von

485
00:21:06,880 --> 00:21:09,399
Speaker 5: Grisom can't make that roster and Michael Harris is just

486
00:21:09,400 --> 00:21:11,040
Speaker 5: so locked in and the trust they have in the

487
00:21:11,040 --> 00:21:14,040
Speaker 5: bat progression. He was also a rookie last year. I

488
00:21:14,119 --> 00:21:18,120
Speaker 5: think this is cool. But my drafting habits don't tend

489
00:21:18,119 --> 00:21:20,160
Speaker 5: to really push on Michael Harris, so I don't see

490
00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:22,160
Speaker 5: him as a bust. I think he'll be right about

491
00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:24,359
Speaker 5: where he is. He's Porridge, He's just right. He'll be

492
00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:26,680
Speaker 5: just right, not too hot, not too cold, he's just right.

493
00:21:26,840 --> 00:21:29,000
Speaker 1: Uh, he's the Porridge, all right. Well, here's what something

494
00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:31,879
Speaker 1: I don't understand. He's going as a thirty seventh player overall,

495
00:21:31,920 --> 00:21:34,840
Speaker 1: and then Cedric Mullins is going forty eighth overall. Cedric

496
00:21:34,880 --> 00:21:37,679
Speaker 1: Mullins has back to back thirty steel seasons. Sedricmullins has

497
00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:40,360
Speaker 1: already shown you a thirty home run season. I don't

498
00:21:40,359 --> 00:21:42,639
Speaker 1: know if we think he's that guy necessarily. Clearly, the

499
00:21:42,680 --> 00:21:45,200
Speaker 1: adjustments to the ballpark last year had an adjustment because

500
00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:48,000
Speaker 1: those home runs got cut in half, but ten picks

501
00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:51,440
Speaker 1: later at least, I'd rather have Cedric Mullins, Frank Stanfle

502
00:21:51,600 --> 00:21:53,120
Speaker 1: Mullins or Harris? Wh would you rather?

503
00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:56,040
Speaker 8: I think I would actually still rather take Michael Harris.

504
00:21:56,040 --> 00:21:58,639
Speaker 8: I'm out on Cedric Mullins as well. He struggles mightily

505
00:21:58,640 --> 00:22:01,359
Speaker 8: against left handed pitching. Was exual getting bench against lefties

506
00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:03,520
Speaker 8: down the stretch last year. I don't know where the

507
00:22:03,520 --> 00:22:05,080
Speaker 8: batting average is going to be at with Mullens. I

508
00:22:05,320 --> 00:22:08,400
Speaker 8: typically just avoid that area. If I'm going to take

509
00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:11,040
Speaker 8: an outfielder, it's Randy Rose arena. I think he's fine.

510
00:22:11,040 --> 00:22:12,960
Speaker 8: I think he's pretty safe. Or just wait a couple

511
00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:17,359
Speaker 8: of rounds and take CORYN Carroll from the leg, or

512
00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:20,159
Speaker 8: take Eloy Jimenez. It's a completely different skill set, but

513
00:22:20,640 --> 00:22:22,840
Speaker 8: I typically skip on this range of outfield and then

514
00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:24,520
Speaker 8: you know, maybe jump back in rounds.

515
00:22:24,280 --> 00:22:24,720
Speaker 6: Four or five.

516
00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:27,080
Speaker 1: I completely agree with a Rose arena. To me, he

517
00:22:27,119 --> 00:22:29,159
Speaker 1: is absolutely like, that's not even a comp to me,

518
00:22:29,560 --> 00:22:31,280
Speaker 1: a Rose range should be where Harris is, and then

519
00:22:31,280 --> 00:22:34,600
Speaker 1: Harris should be where Mullins is. Welsh, how do you

520
00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:37,040
Speaker 1: parse those guys too in that range in terms of outfield,

521
00:22:37,040 --> 00:22:39,000
Speaker 1: because you know, Frankatta says, well, you could just kind

522
00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:41,400
Speaker 1: of go off into a different direction, but Mullins kind

523
00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:44,639
Speaker 1: of has a similar skill set statistically speaking to what

524
00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:46,120
Speaker 1: Michael Harris is being drafted for.

525
00:22:46,119 --> 00:22:48,400
Speaker 5: Yeah, he might be a tiny bit safer Joe maybe

526
00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:50,640
Speaker 5: almost go back to like the Nick Pollock thing. He's

527
00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:53,040
Speaker 5: not a Toby or anything like that. But what you

528
00:22:53,160 --> 00:22:56,000
Speaker 5: draft Michael Harris over Mullins for is the upside. Like

529
00:22:56,040 --> 00:22:58,560
Speaker 5: we saw what Michael Harris did last year. Does he

530
00:22:58,640 --> 00:23:01,000
Speaker 5: have some concerns Chase ray little bit doesn't walk a

531
00:23:01,040 --> 00:23:03,199
Speaker 5: little bit, But you know, in just barely over one

532
00:23:03,280 --> 00:23:05,520
Speaker 5: hundred games, he practically put up a twenty twenty season,

533
00:23:05,600 --> 00:23:07,840
Speaker 5: So you know the baseline of which you've got with Mullens,

534
00:23:07,840 --> 00:23:09,959
Speaker 5: and that might feel better and safer to people. But

535
00:23:10,480 --> 00:23:12,359
Speaker 5: that's why you would go with Michael Harris because if

536
00:23:12,440 --> 00:23:15,880
Speaker 5: things do click and he does show and improve Chase rate,

537
00:23:16,040 --> 00:23:18,120
Speaker 5: and he does start to take a few more pitches,

538
00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:20,160
Speaker 5: then all of a sudden, Michael Harris is a twenty

539
00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:22,879
Speaker 5: five to twenty five guy blowing Centric Mullens out of

540
00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:25,920
Speaker 5: the water. I will say, though Randy rose Arena does

541
00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:27,960
Speaker 5: feel like he's in a completely different tier here, like

542
00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:30,600
Speaker 5: that is such a core piece guy who is safe

543
00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:32,880
Speaker 5: with I think bigger upside than both of those guys.

544
00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:34,880
Speaker 5: He really doesn't belong in the same tier as both

545
00:23:34,920 --> 00:23:37,200
Speaker 5: of them. So if we were, you know, parsing them out,

546
00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:40,679
Speaker 5: it's Randy Rose Arena, and then next tier is Harrison Mullens.

547
00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:43,520
Speaker 1: Let's talk about another guy here. I don't know if

548
00:23:43,560 --> 00:23:45,280
Speaker 1: it's an older player or not. Let's see who's next

549
00:23:45,520 --> 00:23:47,359
Speaker 1: a little He's been around the block a little bit.

550
00:23:47,720 --> 00:23:50,440
Speaker 1: Dansby Swanson, Frank, this is another guy that you've kind

551
00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:53,679
Speaker 1: of put a little question mark next to. Are you

552
00:23:53,800 --> 00:23:56,840
Speaker 1: just not buying the move to the Cubs or do

553
00:23:56,880 --> 00:23:58,960
Speaker 1: you think that Dansby Swanson was a player that was

554
00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:01,920
Speaker 1: really up by the rest of that Atlanta lineup? What

555
00:24:01,960 --> 00:24:03,840
Speaker 1: are your thoughts on him and his value going into

556
00:24:03,880 --> 00:24:07,760
Speaker 1: twenty thirteen because shortstop is loaded, so why take Dansby Swanson?

557
00:24:08,320 --> 00:24:10,040
Speaker 8: Yeah, I would say all the above when it comes

558
00:24:10,080 --> 00:24:12,560
Speaker 8: to Dansby Swanson. I don't like the price tag either.

559
00:24:12,560 --> 00:24:15,960
Speaker 8: Seventy seven point six. He is the tenth shortstop off

560
00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:18,480
Speaker 8: the board. He's going ahead of Oneal Cruz Wander Franco.

561
00:24:18,640 --> 00:24:21,040
Speaker 8: No way rather take the shot on the upside of

562
00:24:21,080 --> 00:24:25,360
Speaker 8: those guys. Dansby Swanson amazing last year career year. Two

563
00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:27,920
Speaker 8: things I don't like buying off of a career year,

564
00:24:28,080 --> 00:24:30,320
Speaker 8: especially when a player is going from the Atlanta Braves

565
00:24:30,320 --> 00:24:33,200
Speaker 8: lineup to the Chicago Cubs lineup. I heard you talking

566
00:24:33,280 --> 00:24:36,720
Speaker 8: Joe earlier about the Chicago Cubs and what was it

567
00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:38,240
Speaker 8: a lipstick on a pig or whatever it might be.

568
00:24:39,280 --> 00:24:41,480
Speaker 1: It was silk cat. You could say lipstick also, but

569
00:24:42,119 --> 00:24:43,919
Speaker 1: silk cat is a really funny image. I don't know why.

570
00:24:43,960 --> 00:24:45,760
Speaker 1: I mean, it's like it's christening or something. You know,

571
00:24:45,800 --> 00:24:48,240
Speaker 1: in Brooklyn, everything's in the church, and Ali you ring

572
00:24:48,240 --> 00:24:50,359
Speaker 1: the pig the church. Everything goes to church in Brooklyn.

573
00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:52,760
Speaker 1: This is how you grow up. But no, I agree

574
00:24:52,800 --> 00:24:55,200
Speaker 1: with you you're looking at I mean, wander Franco Frank

575
00:24:55,920 --> 00:24:57,360
Speaker 1: is now in the world. Are we in that place

576
00:24:57,400 --> 00:24:59,560
Speaker 1: where Dansby Swanson's valued more than wander Franco.

577
00:25:00,280 --> 00:25:01,920
Speaker 8: I mean, I think we just saw it last year, right,

578
00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:03,879
Speaker 8: People will see you a Dansby Swanson. He was the

579
00:25:03,880 --> 00:25:06,000
Speaker 8: thirteenth overall player in RODO, so he was a five

580
00:25:06,080 --> 00:25:08,840
Speaker 8: category contributor. I just don't think he's gonna come anywhere

581
00:25:08,880 --> 00:25:10,480
Speaker 8: close to that. He took a step back in the

582
00:25:10,520 --> 00:25:13,119
Speaker 8: second half last year. The bad bit spiked all the

583
00:25:13,119 --> 00:25:14,879
Speaker 8: way up to three forty eight. That was above his

584
00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:17,159
Speaker 8: career mark. So I just think he regresses in a

585
00:25:17,160 --> 00:25:19,639
Speaker 8: few spots. Accounting stats come way down. Going from the

586
00:25:19,680 --> 00:25:23,119
Speaker 8: Braves to the Cubs lineup, and just talking about Wander Franco,

587
00:25:23,359 --> 00:25:25,480
Speaker 8: I kind of want to give him a pass. Last year,

588
00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:28,240
Speaker 8: he had the handmapone injury in his in his hand,

589
00:25:28,280 --> 00:25:30,679
Speaker 8: in his wrist area, he had the quad injury. I

590
00:25:30,760 --> 00:25:33,119
Speaker 8: just don't know that he was right outside of the

591
00:25:33,119 --> 00:25:36,239
Speaker 8: first month of the season where Wanderfranco looked like he

592
00:25:36,280 --> 00:25:38,680
Speaker 8: was breaking out, batting over three hundred, he was hitting

593
00:25:38,680 --> 00:25:41,480
Speaker 8: home runs, stealing bases. So I think both Wander and

594
00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:44,720
Speaker 8: Onio Cruz could break out this year. Dansy Swanson, I

595
00:25:44,720 --> 00:25:46,719
Speaker 8: still think he'll be fine. I just think he's a

596
00:25:46,760 --> 00:25:48,879
Speaker 8: little bit overvalued based on what he did last season.

597
00:25:49,040 --> 00:25:52,560
Speaker 1: Franks Danzerby Swanson last year twenty five homers eighteen steals.

598
00:25:52,600 --> 00:25:55,080
Speaker 1: The eighteen steels were a career high. He also had

599
00:25:55,160 --> 00:25:57,879
Speaker 1: ninety nine runs scored ninety six ribies. I don't know

600
00:25:57,920 --> 00:26:00,399
Speaker 1: if that's going to hold with the Chicago Cubs, Welsh

601
00:26:00,600 --> 00:26:05,119
Speaker 1: when you're looking at this career trajectory for Dancy Swanson,

602
00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:08,439
Speaker 1: certainly these last two years going on the upswing, But

603
00:26:08,480 --> 00:26:10,520
Speaker 1: do you think the stolen bases hold even with the

604
00:26:10,600 --> 00:26:13,320
Speaker 1: rules changes and all of being potentially easier for people

605
00:26:13,359 --> 00:26:16,920
Speaker 1: to steal bases? Eighteen was almost double his previous high.

606
00:26:17,359 --> 00:26:19,560
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's part of my thing. Everything Frank said, I

607
00:26:19,600 --> 00:26:21,560
Speaker 5: agree with. I'm not a big dance response and guy,

608
00:26:21,600 --> 00:26:23,760
Speaker 5: I'm a wander over him. I think Wander is going

609
00:26:23,800 --> 00:26:26,000
Speaker 5: to break out this year. And I don't trust a

610
00:26:26,040 --> 00:26:27,639
Speaker 5: lot of what went on with Dansby. Swonse to think

611
00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:31,040
Speaker 5: about this. Also, Dansby was a big need to get

612
00:26:31,040 --> 00:26:33,760
Speaker 5: it done complimentary piece in Atlanta. You know what I'm saying, Like,

613
00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:35,919
Speaker 5: you have these guys, you had Ronald 'cunye. He was

614
00:26:35,960 --> 00:26:38,840
Speaker 5: a table setter and a placeholder. He's now got to

615
00:26:38,880 --> 00:26:40,920
Speaker 5: be the guy there, and I think you should get

616
00:26:40,920 --> 00:26:43,320
Speaker 5: a little bit older. The athleticism questions start to come

617
00:26:43,359 --> 00:26:46,080
Speaker 5: in twenty nine plus and how much are they going

618
00:26:46,119 --> 00:26:48,639
Speaker 5: to want him to be stealing bases? He's got to

619
00:26:48,640 --> 00:26:50,800
Speaker 5: be a big force of driving runs in and I

620
00:26:50,800 --> 00:26:53,800
Speaker 5: don't believe it no two years. If you take away

621
00:26:53,840 --> 00:26:57,000
Speaker 5: last year, no two years did he ever combine for

622
00:26:57,160 --> 00:26:59,320
Speaker 5: more stolen bases than he had last year? Take any

623
00:26:59,359 --> 00:27:01,639
Speaker 5: two years just doesn't work any back to back years.

624
00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:05,040
Speaker 5: I don't believe in the stolen bases continuing. I also

625
00:27:05,160 --> 00:27:07,240
Speaker 5: just don't believe overall in some of the skill set,

626
00:27:07,240 --> 00:27:09,119
Speaker 5: and I just don't like the I don't like the costs.

627
00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:11,560
Speaker 5: Like Frank said, the cost is the biggest problem. And

628
00:27:11,600 --> 00:27:14,159
Speaker 5: as you said, like shortstop is deep, I don't know.

629
00:27:14,280 --> 00:27:15,760
Speaker 5: I think there's a big question mark. So I think

630
00:27:15,760 --> 00:27:18,160
Speaker 5: there's a lot of like false positives that are out there,

631
00:27:18,800 --> 00:27:21,280
Speaker 5: like seventy beyond with shortstop, that are gonna make people

632
00:27:21,280 --> 00:27:24,439
Speaker 5: feel way too comfortable. I'm very very honing in. If

633
00:27:24,480 --> 00:27:26,520
Speaker 5: I have to take one of those guys, it's Wander Franco,

634
00:27:26,840 --> 00:27:29,280
Speaker 5: it's Willie Damis, And if I have to wait a

635
00:27:29,359 --> 00:27:32,320
Speaker 5: whole lot further, I'm looking at a guy like Ezekiel Tovar.

636
00:27:32,520 --> 00:27:34,600
Speaker 5: I don't want to mess in that weird range of

637
00:27:34,600 --> 00:27:37,919
Speaker 5: guys like Dansby Swanson or Carlos Korea or Jeremy Pania,

638
00:27:38,080 --> 00:27:40,560
Speaker 5: because I think it's a lot less safe than it's

639
00:27:40,600 --> 00:27:41,359
Speaker 5: being made out to be.

640
00:27:42,200 --> 00:27:43,720

657
00:28:33,600 --> 00:28:36,120
Speaker 1: good time to have on the show. My good pal

658
00:28:36,320 --> 00:28:39,120
Speaker 1: my friend Chris Meani from FTN joined us to talk

659
00:28:39,120 --> 00:28:42,480
Speaker 1: about some of the potential sleepers that are out there,

660
00:28:43,160 --> 00:28:45,440
Speaker 1: and you know what, he had some really good ones,

661
00:28:45,480 --> 00:28:48,560
Speaker 1: including two young players, Anthony Volpi on the Yankees and

662
00:28:48,640 --> 00:28:51,480
Speaker 1: Miguel Vargas of the Los Angeles Dodgers. So here is

663
00:28:51,520 --> 00:28:55,160
Speaker 1: that conversation for you with Chris Meanie. Chris Meanie is

664
00:28:55,200 --> 00:28:57,040
Speaker 1: here to talk about some sleepers with us, and we're

665
00:28:57,040 --> 00:29:00,800
Speaker 1: gonna dive into those names here. Let's start with a

666
00:29:00,840 --> 00:29:03,120
Speaker 1: guy who may break camp with the New York Yankees,

667
00:29:03,120 --> 00:29:09,240
Speaker 1: Anthony Volpi, a player of really significance in Dynasty, player

668
00:29:09,240 --> 00:29:11,920
Speaker 1: of significance potentially in twenty twenty three as well. It's

669
00:29:11,960 --> 00:29:13,600
Speaker 1: been a lot of speculation on how things are going

670
00:29:13,640 --> 00:29:15,160
Speaker 1: to work out with that Yankee and Field. I keep

671
00:29:15,200 --> 00:29:20,560
Speaker 1: telling everybody, I want Oswald Parazza, I want Vaulty, I

672
00:29:20,600 --> 00:29:23,960
Speaker 1: want Torres, I want Donaldson Gone, I want that's the

673
00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:26,200
Speaker 1: guy that's the odd man out as far as I'm concerned,

674
00:29:26,440 --> 00:29:29,080
Speaker 1: Figure it out, put Torres at third. I don't know,

675
00:29:29,520 --> 00:29:32,560
Speaker 1: just make it happen. But let's talk about Volpi, because

676
00:29:32,600 --> 00:29:34,480
Speaker 1: I know there's a lot of speculation about him and

677
00:29:34,760 --> 00:29:37,240
Speaker 1: what his worth is going to be in your opinion

678
00:29:37,280 --> 00:29:39,400
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty three, is this an investment you're ready

679
00:29:39,480 --> 00:29:40,959
Speaker 1: to make and read draft leagues. Do you think he

680
00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:44,640
Speaker 1: plays enough and contributes enough to be somebody that people

681
00:29:44,680 --> 00:29:45,880
Speaker 1: should really have on their radar.

682
00:29:46,560 --> 00:29:47,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, I do.

683
00:29:47,360 --> 00:29:49,920
Speaker 9: I mean most projections over at Fangrafts have him for

684
00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:52,680
Speaker 9: sub four hundred played appearances, and I think he can

685
00:29:52,720 --> 00:29:55,680
Speaker 9: certainly surpass that. This is a guy that over the

686
00:29:55,760 --> 00:29:58,120
Speaker 9: last couple of weeks have certainly seen his rise in

687
00:29:58,200 --> 00:30:00,800
Speaker 9: terms of ADP over at NFBC. Just over the last

688
00:30:00,800 --> 00:30:04,360
Speaker 9: two weeks, still outside the top two fifty to eighty

689
00:30:04,360 --> 00:30:06,680
Speaker 9: two here, and you know, he's having a really good

690
00:30:06,680 --> 00:30:08,800
Speaker 9: camp And this is a guy that I think could

691
00:30:08,800 --> 00:30:10,920
Speaker 9: make the squad and if not, I believe we'll see

692
00:30:10,960 --> 00:30:13,960
Speaker 9: him pretty early. You know, he's got a ton of power,

693
00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:16,800
Speaker 9: a ton of speed. Twenty one homers, fifty stolen bases

694
00:30:16,800 --> 00:30:19,239
Speaker 9: across double A and Triple A, and twenty twenty two

695
00:30:19,400 --> 00:30:22,600
Speaker 9: back to back twenty thirty seasons in the miners over

696
00:30:22,600 --> 00:30:25,120
Speaker 9: the past couple of years. Four doubles, two homers, five

697
00:30:25,160 --> 00:30:27,720
Speaker 9: stolen bases. They're putting him in a good spot to

698
00:30:27,720 --> 00:30:30,280
Speaker 9: succeed here throughout spring training. Hit in the five spot

699
00:30:30,400 --> 00:30:33,360
Speaker 9: just the other day. So I do believe that there's

700
00:30:33,360 --> 00:30:35,800
Speaker 9: an outside chance that he'll make it, and you know,

701
00:30:35,840 --> 00:30:37,200
Speaker 9: it's not the end of the world that if he

702
00:30:37,360 --> 00:30:39,160
Speaker 9: isn't on the opening day roster, you're not gonna win

703
00:30:39,200 --> 00:30:41,640
Speaker 9: your Fantasy Baseball championship in April. To have a guy

704
00:30:41,680 --> 00:30:44,240
Speaker 9: with that kind of power and that speed in that lineup,

705
00:30:44,280 --> 00:30:46,560
Speaker 9: I think is very beneficial. So it's a pick that's

706
00:30:46,600 --> 00:30:48,440
Speaker 9: not costing you a whole lot. You know, if he

707
00:30:48,520 --> 00:30:51,040
Speaker 9: drafted a month ago, it definitely didn't there's a slight rise,

708
00:30:51,080 --> 00:30:52,400
Speaker 9: but I still think it's worth it.

709
00:30:53,200 --> 00:30:55,520
Speaker 1: You know, Welsh, I always compare him to Bedroya. That's

710
00:30:55,560 --> 00:30:57,840
Speaker 1: the guy for if Beadroita worked out, he'd be Anthony

711
00:30:57,880 --> 00:31:02,200
Speaker 1: Volpy Washington play a fairmount last year personally upfront, right

712
00:31:02,240 --> 00:31:04,720
Speaker 1: in front of my face and the kids. He's a

713
00:31:04,760 --> 00:31:06,680
Speaker 1: really he's just a baseball player at the end of

714
00:31:06,720 --> 00:31:09,280
Speaker 1: the day. And even Eric Cross, I remember two years

715
00:31:09,280 --> 00:31:11,000
Speaker 1: ago we were talking about Anthony Volpi and you know,

716
00:31:11,040 --> 00:31:13,400
Speaker 1: he's the biggest Red Sox guy there is, and he's like,

717
00:31:13,440 --> 00:31:15,560
Speaker 1: it really grinds my gears that I have to tell

718
00:31:15,560 --> 00:31:17,600
Speaker 1: you how great of a baseball player Anthony Volpi is.

719
00:31:18,080 --> 00:31:20,920
Speaker 1: And we're getting closer. It feels like, how close do

720
00:31:20,960 --> 00:31:23,120
Speaker 1: you think we are to seeing Anthony Volpi up? And

721
00:31:23,160 --> 00:31:25,280
Speaker 1: do you see him as a potential sleeper in twenty

722
00:31:25,320 --> 00:31:25,840
Speaker 1: twenty three?

723
00:31:26,080 --> 00:31:28,560
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think there is a real legit shot. I

724
00:31:28,560 --> 00:31:30,600
Speaker 5: mean you got to remember we are what like a

725
00:31:30,680 --> 00:31:33,280
Speaker 5: week or so away from this all starting up, Like

726
00:31:33,360 --> 00:31:35,560
Speaker 5: camps are going to break, this is going to be done,

727
00:31:35,680 --> 00:31:38,640
Speaker 5: and we haven't seen the big major. He's been optioned.

728
00:31:39,120 --> 00:31:41,680
Speaker 5: And the thing that works against him is, if I

729
00:31:41,720 --> 00:31:43,800
Speaker 5: remember this correctly, he is not on the forty man

730
00:31:43,840 --> 00:31:46,400
Speaker 5: where oswal Praza is and that is the major factor

731
00:31:46,440 --> 00:31:49,720
Speaker 5: that works against him. But there's also something with Yankee

732
00:31:49,720 --> 00:31:53,760
Speaker 5: fans and management about building the excitement and not messing around.

733
00:31:53,840 --> 00:31:57,080
Speaker 5: And obviously they have incentivized baseball in general for this,

734
00:31:57,440 --> 00:31:59,440
Speaker 5: and he would be the big guy. I mean, this

735
00:31:59,480 --> 00:32:03,240
Speaker 5: would give them that incentiveficacation for it. And I think

736
00:32:03,280 --> 00:32:06,560
Speaker 5: he's a big power, speed combo player. If he doesn't

737
00:32:06,560 --> 00:32:09,120
Speaker 5: make the roster, I think he's up soon, kind of

738
00:32:09,120 --> 00:32:11,040
Speaker 5: like what we talked about with Brandon Fott. But I've

739
00:32:11,040 --> 00:32:13,040
Speaker 5: had a bold prediction. I think he breaks camp. I

740
00:32:13,040 --> 00:32:15,600
Speaker 5: think he's the guy we all look and we're like

741
00:32:15,640 --> 00:32:18,600
Speaker 5: all right, Jordan Walker. Like Jordan Walker was the early

742
00:32:18,640 --> 00:32:20,360
Speaker 5: one where we're like, he doesn't have a gig, but

743
00:32:20,440 --> 00:32:22,080
Speaker 5: this will be the Julio Rodriguez. I think at the

744
00:32:22,120 --> 00:32:23,680
Speaker 5: end of the day, Volpi's going to be the one

745
00:32:23,960 --> 00:32:27,040
Speaker 5: that's gonna end up making the roster or right there close,

746
00:32:27,280 --> 00:32:29,640
Speaker 5: and he's gonna put up big stats. Maybe it's better

747
00:32:29,760 --> 00:32:32,160
Speaker 5: a liken to like Michael Harris, I think he's got

748
00:32:32,160 --> 00:32:34,960
Speaker 5: a legit shot at that a that Ale Rookie of

749
00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:37,160
Speaker 5: the Year award, by the way, is going to be

750
00:32:37,160 --> 00:32:40,480
Speaker 5: a tight race. Gunner Henderson. I think Yoshida is super

751
00:32:40,520 --> 00:32:43,560
Speaker 5: sneaky in a great bet and Volpi in there. I'm

752
00:32:43,560 --> 00:32:45,360
Speaker 5: definitely with it. And I think this is a great

753
00:32:45,560 --> 00:32:48,200
Speaker 5: back end of the draft pick, even in like you know,

754
00:32:48,240 --> 00:32:50,200
Speaker 5: twelve man fun leagues and stuff like that. If he

755
00:32:50,280 --> 00:32:53,040
Speaker 5: breaks camp, you win. If he doesn't, you can move

756
00:32:53,080 --> 00:32:54,800
Speaker 5: on if you want and just kind of watch him

757
00:32:54,800 --> 00:32:56,840
Speaker 5: on the wire. So I think it's actually like one

758
00:32:56,880 --> 00:33:00,520
Speaker 5: of the most important back end maybe last picks or

759
00:33:00,560 --> 00:33:02,960
Speaker 5: you know, wherever it's relative to his draft range. Getting

760
00:33:02,960 --> 00:33:04,440
Speaker 5: at the back end of your draft guys right.

761
00:33:04,360 --> 00:33:07,040
Speaker 1: Now, interesting on Volpi for a rookie of the year too.

762
00:33:07,040 --> 00:33:09,360
Speaker 1: I've already put money in on Gunner Henderson. I think

763
00:33:09,400 --> 00:33:10,880
Speaker 1: I got it three to one. I'm not sure where

764
00:33:10,880 --> 00:33:12,640
Speaker 1: this is now, but later on we're going to talk

765
00:33:12,680 --> 00:33:15,240
Speaker 1: about some of those futures with Craig Mish when he

766
00:33:15,240 --> 00:33:17,840
Speaker 1: comes on the program. But that is that's definitely one

767
00:33:17,840 --> 00:33:19,400
Speaker 1: of those guys that if he does get red hot,

768
00:33:19,400 --> 00:33:21,440
Speaker 1: he's got all that skill set. Like I said, good

769
00:33:21,440 --> 00:33:25,040
Speaker 1: defensive player, he's a hustle player. New York he said,

770
00:33:25,040 --> 00:33:27,560
Speaker 1: New York is gonna love this guy. And you know,

771
00:33:27,600 --> 00:33:30,480
Speaker 1: the public figure piece of that pie is a big deal.

772
00:33:30,520 --> 00:33:33,440
Speaker 1: It's a media award. Let's get to another young player.

773
00:33:33,480 --> 00:33:36,000
Speaker 1: Here we go Vargas, because meanie, this is a player

774
00:33:36,000 --> 00:33:40,480
Speaker 1: to extraordinary upside. I'm concerned about the Dodgers. I keep

775
00:33:40,480 --> 00:33:42,760
Speaker 1: going on and on that's the team, Like every single

776
00:33:42,800 --> 00:33:44,880
Speaker 1: Sunday of the TV show. People give me crap about

777
00:33:44,880 --> 00:33:46,959
Speaker 1: it because I keep going on and on about you know,

778
00:33:47,120 --> 00:33:49,400
Speaker 1: it's Clayton Kershaw for one hundred and twenty two winnings

779
00:33:49,400 --> 00:33:51,440
Speaker 1: and then what you know after Urius, I don't know

780
00:33:51,480 --> 00:33:54,520
Speaker 1: what this rotation is. Gavin Lux got hurt. I don't

781
00:33:54,560 --> 00:33:56,680
Speaker 1: love the second half of this batting order. But then

782
00:33:56,720 --> 00:34:00,800
Speaker 1: there's Vargas, who is an intriguing young talent. Andersen, do

783
00:34:00,960 --> 00:34:04,120
Speaker 1: you see this player being somebody in twenty twenty three

784
00:34:04,160 --> 00:34:06,000
Speaker 1: to another one of these younger players that could actually

785
00:34:06,040 --> 00:34:08,560
Speaker 1: step up and become a huge return on investment.

786
00:34:09,640 --> 00:34:11,560
Speaker 9: Yeah, I do. I don't have too many shares of

787
00:34:11,640 --> 00:34:14,279
Speaker 9: him a couple of spots, but you know, there is

788
00:34:14,680 --> 00:34:17,160
Speaker 9: not as many not as much speed, although he did

789
00:34:17,200 --> 00:34:20,880
Speaker 9: have you know, sixteen solen bases in twenty twenty two.

790
00:34:20,960 --> 00:34:23,760
Speaker 9: But I think there is, you know, maybe a clearer

791
00:34:23,800 --> 00:34:26,160
Speaker 9: path for playing time, even though we're talking about Volpe

792
00:34:26,239 --> 00:34:28,720
Speaker 9: by the by the way, like ten to one still

793
00:34:28,800 --> 00:34:31,800
Speaker 9: over at Caesars to win good number Rookie of the

794
00:34:31,880 --> 00:34:34,240
Speaker 9: Year and seven to one in most spots. But here

795
00:34:34,400 --> 00:34:37,080
Speaker 9: is you know, an opportunity for I think maybe five

796
00:34:37,160 --> 00:34:40,640
Speaker 9: hundred player plate appearances here with the Dodgers. A little

797
00:34:40,680 --> 00:34:42,680
Speaker 9: bit of speed as I mentioned, but a guy that

798
00:34:42,800 --> 00:34:45,319
Speaker 9: probably could give you if he can get to five

799
00:34:45,360 --> 00:34:48,080
Speaker 9: hundred played appearances, maybe he does flirt with twenty home

800
00:34:48,160 --> 00:34:52,600
Speaker 9: runs and maybe ten stolen bases. You know, good contact

801
00:34:52,719 --> 00:34:55,800
Speaker 9: rate throughout the minors, only one season over twenty percent,

802
00:34:56,000 --> 00:34:58,440
Speaker 9: a strikeout rate, very small sample size of course with

803
00:34:58,480 --> 00:35:00,640
Speaker 9: the Dodgers last year, just the fifty players appearances. But

804
00:35:01,080 --> 00:35:03,600
Speaker 9: this is a guy that can give you good, you know,

805
00:35:03,880 --> 00:35:06,520
Speaker 9: ratios across the board in terms of like an on

806
00:35:06,560 --> 00:35:09,080
Speaker 9: base percentage, double digit walk rate. Potentially if you can

807
00:35:09,120 --> 00:35:12,279
Speaker 9: have a sub twenty k P or strikeout percentage. Rather

808
00:35:13,120 --> 00:35:15,080
Speaker 9: a guy and what could be a really good lineup.

809
00:35:15,080 --> 00:35:20,000
Speaker 9: But I'm not super super optimistic, but you know, the

810
00:35:20,000 --> 00:35:21,080
Speaker 9: pedigree is certainly there.

811
00:35:21,400 --> 00:35:24,160
Speaker 1: Well, they might have no choice because exactly Chris Taylor

812
00:35:24,200 --> 00:35:28,080
Speaker 1: looks absolutely dreadful in the spring. You know my concerns

813
00:35:28,120 --> 00:35:31,480
Speaker 1: about Max Months and we've talked about this at nauseum, Welsh,

814
00:35:31,560 --> 00:35:34,000
Speaker 1: they might have their hand forced at some point. I

815
00:35:34,040 --> 00:35:36,000
Speaker 1: have shares of Jad Martinez took him last night in

816
00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:38,239
Speaker 1: the draft we were in. I like the bounce back

817
00:35:38,239 --> 00:35:41,200
Speaker 1: potential there. I just think that there's there's a path

818
00:35:41,239 --> 00:35:43,800
Speaker 1: here where he would play. That's the big question, Welsh.

819
00:35:44,040 --> 00:35:46,120
Speaker 1: Last year's seventeen homers, one hundred and thirteen games, a

820
00:35:46,160 --> 00:35:49,720
Speaker 1: triple A for him, eighty two RBI, scored one hundred runs,

821
00:35:49,880 --> 00:35:53,359
Speaker 1: but most importantly the slash three oh four, four oh four,

822
00:35:53,560 --> 00:35:56,160
Speaker 1: five eleven. That's an elite slash at three, four or

823
00:35:56,200 --> 00:35:58,640
Speaker 1: five slash. You don't see that a lot with players,

824
00:35:58,800 --> 00:36:02,800
Speaker 1: let alone young players nine fifteen ops. That is elite stuff.

825
00:36:03,200 --> 00:36:05,360
Speaker 1: Does Vargas have a chance to translate those skills to

826
00:36:05,400 --> 00:36:06,880
Speaker 1: the big league level this season?

827
00:36:07,160 --> 00:36:08,600
Speaker 5: Yeah? I think so. That's why I've been beaten the

828
00:36:08,640 --> 00:36:10,680
Speaker 5: drum about him as much as I possibly can. Even

829
00:36:10,719 --> 00:36:13,760
Speaker 5: this spring. You know, early on he had the hand

830
00:36:13,800 --> 00:36:16,640
Speaker 5: thing where it's all famous. Now you know he couldn't swing,

831
00:36:16,880 --> 00:36:19,680
Speaker 5: yet he was still getting walks. Everybody knew he couldn't

832
00:36:19,680 --> 00:36:21,600
Speaker 5: swing at a pitch, and he still got a couple

833
00:36:21,680 --> 00:36:23,799
Speaker 5: walks in. Just hit his first homer the other day.

834
00:36:23,960 --> 00:36:26,520
Speaker 5: Here's one thing you love. Batting average struggled in spring

835
00:36:26,560 --> 00:36:29,080
Speaker 5: because of this injury. Two thirty three still had an

836
00:36:29,120 --> 00:36:31,239
Speaker 5: over four hundred OBP. And that's been a big thing

837
00:36:31,239 --> 00:36:34,040
Speaker 5: of why I've been pointing at him. This guy doesn't

838
00:36:34,080 --> 00:36:36,560
Speaker 5: strike out, he finds ways to get on base. He

839
00:36:36,719 --> 00:36:39,239
Speaker 5: can steal some. I don't think long term, in like

840
00:36:39,239 --> 00:36:41,080
Speaker 5: a dynasty, this is a guy that's going to maintain

841
00:36:41,120 --> 00:36:43,759
Speaker 5: stolen bases. But I think he's young enough, and I

842
00:36:43,800 --> 00:36:46,239
Speaker 5: think there's a manufacturedness that the Dodgers are going to

843
00:36:46,280 --> 00:36:47,560
Speaker 5: have to do enough that I think he can hit

844
00:36:47,600 --> 00:36:51,080
Speaker 5: double digits. I really believe he is a twenty ten

845
00:36:51,360 --> 00:36:54,399
Speaker 5: potential guy. And the thing we keep forgetting about, he's

846
00:36:54,440 --> 00:36:56,200
Speaker 5: going to be their second basement. He doesn't have the

847
00:36:56,239 --> 00:36:59,680
Speaker 5: qualification yet, but he will get second base qualification. And

848
00:36:59,719 --> 00:37:02,880
Speaker 5: how disastrous does it continue to get on tuve Gone

849
00:37:03,040 --> 00:37:05,719
Speaker 5: Polanco might start the season on the il. There's so

850
00:37:05,719 --> 00:37:08,279
Speaker 5: many big questions. This is a guy that has an

851
00:37:08,320 --> 00:37:11,080
Speaker 5: ADP outside the top one eighty, that could go twenty

852
00:37:11,120 --> 00:37:13,880
Speaker 5: and ten at second base. It's being a little like

853
00:37:13,960 --> 00:37:16,680
Speaker 5: Pollyanna about it because this is a rookie. But as

854
00:37:16,719 --> 00:37:20,320
Speaker 5: far as rookies go, his skill set is a floor.

855
00:37:20,440 --> 00:37:22,759
Speaker 5: And that's why I really like Miguel Vargas. He's kind

856
00:37:22,760 --> 00:37:24,160
Speaker 5: of one of those guys I want on every one

857
00:37:24,160 --> 00:37:25,920
Speaker 5: of my teams, and I think we could look back

858
00:37:25,960 --> 00:37:27,920
Speaker 5: not to again. I'm a prospect guy, and I am

859
00:37:28,040 --> 00:37:29,960
Speaker 5: very being very like, ooh, all the prospects are gonna

860
00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:32,040
Speaker 5: be great. But there's a handful of these just really

861
00:37:32,080 --> 00:37:35,200
Speaker 5: good guys that are coming at not crazy costs. Corbyn

862
00:37:35,280 --> 00:37:39,920
Speaker 5: Carrol I love cost, Gunnar Henderson cost Jordan Walker hasn't

863
00:37:39,920 --> 00:37:42,800
Speaker 5: even been given the job he costs. Guess who doesn't.

864
00:37:43,200 --> 00:37:46,920
Speaker 1: Miguel Vargas Walker went for I think twenty bucks last night.

865
00:37:47,360 --> 00:37:49,680
Speaker 5: It's going the top one hundred down twenty bucks in

866
00:37:49,719 --> 00:37:50,239
Speaker 5: yr is.

867
00:37:50,480 --> 00:37:50,760
Speaker 10: Wow.

868
00:37:50,880 --> 00:37:53,200
Speaker 1: Well there's a little compression. It's a fifteen team, eight

869
00:37:53,280 --> 00:37:56,160
Speaker 1: person keeper. Yeah, so there's like spla salaries and he

870
00:37:56,200 --> 00:37:58,600
Speaker 1: was out there, so people wanted to have him, but

871
00:37:58,719 --> 00:38:00,800
Speaker 1: I wasn't going to twenty for as much as I like,

872
00:38:01,120 --> 00:38:05,160
Speaker 1: rich is too rich for my blood. Chris Meanie nailing

873
00:38:05,160 --> 00:38:08,160
Speaker 1: it as always. Speaking of nailing it, Craig Mish, my

874
00:38:08,200 --> 00:38:12,640
Speaker 1: good friend from sportsgridstop by to talk about a little

875
00:38:12,680 --> 00:38:15,160
Speaker 1: bit of MVP, a little bit of cy Young, a

876
00:38:15,200 --> 00:38:16,920
Speaker 1: little bit of this, a little that. Also what it's

877
00:38:16,960 --> 00:38:19,319
Speaker 1: like to be an MLB insider, which is really cool,

878
00:38:19,320 --> 00:38:22,560
Speaker 1: so check this out. A little bit of MVP talk,

879
00:38:22,600 --> 00:38:25,640
Speaker 1: but first what the life of an MLB insider is

880
00:38:25,719 --> 00:38:29,120
Speaker 1: like from the inside. This man wears many hats, and

881
00:38:29,160 --> 00:38:31,799
Speaker 1: he's been my friend for many many years and my

882
00:38:31,960 --> 00:38:35,840
Speaker 1: colleague for equally as many and still I like to

883
00:38:35,840 --> 00:38:38,120
Speaker 1: call him my friend as well. So despite all those

884
00:38:38,200 --> 00:38:41,400
Speaker 1: years and all those hours spent with each other, still

885
00:38:41,480 --> 00:38:43,840
Speaker 1: here we are still talking. You know him of course

886
00:38:44,080 --> 00:38:46,239
Speaker 1: from Sports Grid. You've known him from his years on

887
00:38:46,280 --> 00:38:48,719
Speaker 1: Sirius XM radio as well, but he's the host of

888
00:38:48,800 --> 00:38:51,799
Speaker 1: the news show over on Sports Grid where I'm at

889
00:38:51,840 --> 00:38:54,839
Speaker 1: as well, and he is the godfather of fantasy sports today.

890
00:38:54,840 --> 00:38:58,840
Speaker 1: He's the one the only MLB insider, Craig Mish, Mish,

891
00:38:58,920 --> 00:39:01,000
Speaker 1: It's great to have you here on the program. And

892
00:39:01,040 --> 00:39:03,680
Speaker 1: I know you get dressed for the occasion. You you

893
00:39:03,719 --> 00:39:05,799
Speaker 1: always class up the joint wherever you are. And I

894
00:39:05,800 --> 00:39:07,759
Speaker 1: got to ask you this question at the top, all

895
00:39:07,760 --> 00:39:11,960
Speaker 1: you MLB insiders, you know, Rosenthal, Hayman, Mish, all those guys.

896
00:39:12,040 --> 00:39:13,839
Speaker 1: Do you guys have like a Friar's club thing where

897
00:39:13,880 --> 00:39:15,800
Speaker 1: you have a restaurant you go do or blazers with

898
00:39:15,840 --> 00:39:17,799
Speaker 1: a little emblem on it like this, are you wearing

899
00:39:17,880 --> 00:39:18,479
Speaker 1: it right now?

900
00:39:19,160 --> 00:39:21,360
Speaker 3: It's like the Sara Nite Live five Timers Club. I

901
00:39:21,360 --> 00:39:24,560
Speaker 3: don't Yes, you see those episodes. Yeah no, no, we

902
00:39:24,560 --> 00:39:27,400
Speaker 3: don't have that. I mean it's it's I'll tell you

903
00:39:27,440 --> 00:39:29,120
Speaker 3: the one. It's it's funny that you bring that up.

904
00:39:29,160 --> 00:39:31,960
Speaker 3: It is a super competitive job, as you would imagine,

905
00:39:32,320 --> 00:39:35,080
Speaker 3: like in the NFL. It's it's obvious that everyone is competing,

906
00:39:35,200 --> 00:39:37,759
Speaker 3: but It's like Adam Schefter and the rapport in Major

907
00:39:37,840 --> 00:39:38,440
Speaker 3: League Baseball.

908
00:39:38,480 --> 00:39:40,840
Speaker 10: It's like everyone wants.

909
00:39:40,719 --> 00:39:43,400
Speaker 3: To report on their local team, and then some people

910
00:39:43,440 --> 00:39:45,359
Speaker 3: want to do it more on the national side too.

911
00:39:46,120 --> 00:39:49,719
Speaker 3: But it's really competitive. I have I feel like I

912
00:39:49,760 --> 00:39:52,319
Speaker 3: have good relationships, I would say with most of them,

913
00:39:52,840 --> 00:39:55,640
Speaker 3: but once you sort of jump on someone else's turf, Joe,

914
00:39:56,400 --> 00:39:58,640
Speaker 3: because if the dynamic change is quite a bit.

915
00:39:58,680 --> 00:40:00,160
Speaker 5: Man, So I was about to say, we're I had

916
00:40:00,200 --> 00:40:02,480
Speaker 5: to get some dirt. Let's get some dirt. Who sucks

917
00:40:02,520 --> 00:40:05,200
Speaker 5: the most? Who's the I just saw Passen at camp.

918
00:40:05,239 --> 00:40:08,200
Speaker 5: By the way, Hawson's hair is gorgeous and beautiful, by

919
00:40:08,200 --> 00:40:09,920
Speaker 5: the way I saw him at Rangers camp. But yeah, let's

920
00:40:09,920 --> 00:40:11,160
Speaker 5: talk about who sucks the most, Joe.

921
00:40:11,239 --> 00:40:14,880
Speaker 1: Let's well, I know, well Craig. Craig's actually told me

922
00:40:14,920 --> 00:40:16,680
Speaker 1: there's one guy, and I will not say who it is.

923
00:40:16,680 --> 00:40:20,120
Speaker 1: I won't dispose, but basically, you know, he likes to

924
00:40:20,120 --> 00:40:20,760
Speaker 1: say things.

925
00:40:22,320 --> 00:40:23,880
Speaker 3: And again, I'm not going to throw anybody under the

926
00:40:23,880 --> 00:40:26,399
Speaker 3: bus individually, but what I would say is that it's

927
00:40:26,560 --> 00:40:29,400
Speaker 3: very hard to like say nothing about a team and

928
00:40:29,400 --> 00:40:31,320
Speaker 3: then all of a sudden pretend like you know everything

929
00:40:31,320 --> 00:40:33,759
Speaker 3: about a team, like just the credibility factor.

930
00:40:33,480 --> 00:40:35,720
Speaker 1: There for me, that's your moment of zen.

931
00:40:36,080 --> 00:40:37,080
Speaker 10: Isn't quite there.

932
00:40:37,120 --> 00:40:39,839
Speaker 3: But primarily, again, I'm doing most of the Marlin stuff.

933
00:40:39,840 --> 00:40:42,440
Speaker 3: I would say that in the past year. It's not

934
00:40:42,520 --> 00:40:46,680
Speaker 3: that I cut back from doing more of the national stuff.

935
00:40:47,000 --> 00:40:48,840
Speaker 3: Like it it's funny because I'm still like getting the

936
00:40:48,840 --> 00:40:51,160
Speaker 3: same information that I got before, but it's like before

937
00:40:51,200 --> 00:40:51,880
Speaker 3: I hit the send.

938
00:40:51,719 --> 00:40:53,319
Speaker 10: Tweet, I'm like, do I really want to do this?

939
00:40:53,480 --> 00:40:55,359
Speaker 3: Like I don't know, you know, so I kind of

940
00:40:55,480 --> 00:40:59,160
Speaker 3: just like sort of did all Marlins this offseason. But inevitably,

941
00:40:59,239 --> 00:41:01,480
Speaker 3: I think that what you're talking about in the insider

942
00:41:01,600 --> 00:41:04,040
Speaker 3: role is something that I think I can grow with

943
00:41:04,120 --> 00:41:07,239
Speaker 3: for sure. And unless these guys that all do it now,

944
00:41:07,280 --> 00:41:09,360
Speaker 3: who do a great job, but guys, if they do

945
00:41:09,400 --> 00:41:12,040
Speaker 3: this forever until they're like one hundred, then yeah, then

946
00:41:12,080 --> 00:41:12,319
Speaker 3: I'll just.

947
00:41:12,360 --> 00:41:13,080
Speaker 10: Keep doing correct.

948
00:41:13,120 --> 00:41:15,399
Speaker 5: Let me ask you, what is that feeling too of

949
00:41:15,480 --> 00:41:17,719
Speaker 5: breaking like the big national news. Do you do you

950
00:41:17,719 --> 00:41:20,120
Speaker 5: still get that high? Is there that big like like

951
00:41:20,120 --> 00:41:22,160
Speaker 5: if you go viral like Joe's had a viral tweet,

952
00:41:22,280 --> 00:41:23,960
Speaker 5: I've had like one or two, Like you get that

953
00:41:24,120 --> 00:41:26,839
Speaker 5: there's that like a little small you know, like high

954
00:41:26,840 --> 00:41:28,200
Speaker 5: that you get off it. But what's it like to

955
00:41:28,239 --> 00:41:30,239
Speaker 5: break that big piece of national news and see your

956
00:41:30,320 --> 00:41:31,960
Speaker 5: name everywhere? You got to feel a little bit of

957
00:41:32,000 --> 00:41:32,600
Speaker 5: joy out of that.

958
00:41:32,920 --> 00:41:35,719
Speaker 3: It's definitely very nerve racking because it's like you have

959
00:41:35,800 --> 00:41:38,359
Speaker 3: to be sure that you're right on the stuff, you know,

960
00:41:38,480 --> 00:41:38,719
Speaker 3: Like for.

961
00:41:39,000 --> 00:41:40,719
Speaker 10: Me, I just take it so seriously.

962
00:41:41,200 --> 00:41:44,560
Speaker 3: I used to in the past not really care and

963
00:41:44,719 --> 00:41:46,719
Speaker 3: just sort of be like, I'll just do this haphazard.

964
00:41:46,840 --> 00:41:47,959
Speaker 10: I believe this is gonna happen.

965
00:41:48,000 --> 00:41:49,680
Speaker 3: I think that I've talked to somebody that is going

966
00:41:49,719 --> 00:41:52,279
Speaker 3: to But now I'm like all facts and I try

967
00:41:52,280 --> 00:41:54,840
Speaker 3: to just keep it that way. But I mean, the

968
00:41:55,120 --> 00:41:57,440
Speaker 3: notoriety is cool, but it's the lead up because a

969
00:41:57,440 --> 00:42:00,240
Speaker 3: lot of times Welsh what happens is and I'm sure

970
00:42:00,239 --> 00:42:02,879
Speaker 3: this happens for everybody, is that I know about this

971
00:42:03,560 --> 00:42:06,480
Speaker 3: usually for a long time before I end up saying something.

972
00:42:06,760 --> 00:42:08,359
Speaker 10: So it's like I'm sitting on it. Can I do it?

973
00:42:08,360 --> 00:42:09,640
Speaker 10: Can I do it? Can I say it? Can I

974
00:42:09,680 --> 00:42:11,960
Speaker 10: do it? And then you hit the button to send

975
00:42:12,000 --> 00:42:13,719
Speaker 10: it out and you just kind of know what's going

976
00:42:13,800 --> 00:42:14,799
Speaker 10: to happen from there.

977
00:42:14,840 --> 00:42:16,640
Speaker 5: So how many times did you also get hit on

978
00:42:16,640 --> 00:42:18,600
Speaker 5: the end verse where you had this, you were waiting,

979
00:42:18,640 --> 00:42:20,200
Speaker 5: you were waiting, you really want to check it, and

980
00:42:20,239 --> 00:42:22,600
Speaker 5: then you just get smashed by someone else in you're.

981
00:42:22,520 --> 00:42:25,319
Speaker 3: Life all the time, all the time, all the time.

982
00:42:25,360 --> 00:42:28,080
Speaker 3: But again, you know, for me, the one thing that

983
00:42:28,120 --> 00:42:32,680
Speaker 3: I have to maintain for sure is relationships. And I

984
00:42:32,719 --> 00:42:35,480
Speaker 3: can't speak for everybody else. Maybe I would say, you know,

985
00:42:35,520 --> 00:42:37,239
Speaker 3: probably some of the other guys that do it don't

986
00:42:37,280 --> 00:42:39,279
Speaker 3: really care if they upset someone because they want to

987
00:42:39,280 --> 00:42:41,640
Speaker 3: be first, they want to break it. I'm just not

988
00:42:41,760 --> 00:42:44,200
Speaker 3: that guy, Like I want to make sure that that

989
00:42:44,320 --> 00:42:45,840
Speaker 3: I'm not going to get a text, hey why'd you

990
00:42:45,880 --> 00:42:46,160
Speaker 3: say that?

991
00:42:46,320 --> 00:42:47,920
Speaker 10: Or why'd you do that? And I didn't get any

992
00:42:48,000 --> 00:42:49,239
Speaker 10: of that this offseason, So.

993
00:42:49,840 --> 00:42:51,359
Speaker 5: I feel like I was well done.

994
00:42:51,560 --> 00:42:53,400
Speaker 3: I was I was heading in the right direction. I

995
00:42:53,440 --> 00:42:56,120
Speaker 3: love the relationships that I have. And on top of it,

996
00:42:56,160 --> 00:42:59,000
Speaker 3: I can come on my own show on Fantasy Sports

997
00:42:59,040 --> 00:43:01,080
Speaker 3: Today or Sports Grit or on with you guys, and

998
00:43:01,120 --> 00:43:02,799
Speaker 3: I can text somebody like if you have a question

999
00:43:02,880 --> 00:43:04,279
Speaker 3: for me, like who may be the closer here?

1000
00:43:04,320 --> 00:43:06,520
Speaker 10: I can just suit the text, Hey, who is your closer?

1001
00:43:06,840 --> 00:43:10,440
Speaker 1: That's really why we have you? Who is the marlets?

1002
00:43:10,440 --> 00:43:14,359
Speaker 3: Who is Matt Barnes Barnes, But you know, so that's

1003
00:43:14,400 --> 00:43:17,040
Speaker 3: that's part of it as well, and that's the dynamic

1004
00:43:17,120 --> 00:43:20,040
Speaker 3: that doesn't really change. It's you know, for me, the

1005
00:43:20,040 --> 00:43:22,040
Speaker 3: one thing I'm very careful with is the betting aspect

1006
00:43:22,040 --> 00:43:23,560
Speaker 3: of it, because again I don't want to get wrapped

1007
00:43:23,600 --> 00:43:25,759
Speaker 3: up in that, But from the fantasy aspect of it,

1008
00:43:25,840 --> 00:43:26,880
Speaker 3: like who do you think is going to have a

1009
00:43:26,880 --> 00:43:28,720
Speaker 3: good season, who's a sleeper on your team?

1010
00:43:29,120 --> 00:43:30,920
Speaker 1: At the top of the National League board, It's very

1011
00:43:30,920 --> 00:43:32,759
Speaker 1: tricky because you have a lot of guys who are

1012
00:43:32,760 --> 00:43:34,319
Speaker 1: on the same teams and I always feel like that

1013
00:43:34,440 --> 00:43:36,720
Speaker 1: is something we've talked about the past when we've hosted

1014
00:43:36,760 --> 00:43:39,040
Speaker 1: together and sometimes they cancel each other out. You've got

1015
00:43:39,080 --> 00:43:41,520
Speaker 1: Soto at the top of five fifty, which is interesting

1016
00:43:41,560 --> 00:43:44,200
Speaker 1: to me, Mookie Betts at plus nine fifty, then Ronald

1017
00:43:44,200 --> 00:43:47,440
Speaker 1: of Kunya, Fernando tatis Uh. Then you've got Trey Turner

1018
00:43:47,520 --> 00:43:49,759
Speaker 1: no and Aeronauto. Of course, Gold's coming off of it

1019
00:43:49,880 --> 00:43:53,080
Speaker 1: last year, and Chattah's going to be in this mix nationally.

1020
00:43:53,280 --> 00:43:55,080
Speaker 1: MVP to me is one of those that I'm just

1021
00:43:55,120 --> 00:43:58,120
Speaker 1: waiting on because last year you saw many Matchatdo Go

1022
00:43:58,160 --> 00:43:59,960
Speaker 1: out front, but it just felt like it wasn't so

1023
00:44:00,160 --> 00:44:01,560
Speaker 1: he was going to see its way all the way

1024
00:44:01,560 --> 00:44:04,359
Speaker 1: through the season. Is that your approach to National League

1025
00:44:04,440 --> 00:44:06,880
Speaker 1: MVP two? Or do you think that it's actually somebody

1026
00:44:06,960 --> 00:44:09,360
Speaker 1: now one or two players or maybe even somebody like

1027
00:44:09,360 --> 00:44:11,759
Speaker 1: a Pete a Lonzo who's kind of more on an

1028
00:44:11,840 --> 00:44:14,360
Speaker 1: island as opposed to part of these little super teams

1029
00:44:14,400 --> 00:44:16,719
Speaker 1: they're starting to develop in the National League. How do

1030
00:44:16,760 --> 00:44:18,080
Speaker 1: you approach National League MVP?

1031
00:44:18,760 --> 00:44:20,680
Speaker 10: Yeah, you know me, Joe, I don't like to be

1032
00:44:20,719 --> 00:44:21,720
Speaker 10: a prisoner of the moment.

1033
00:44:21,800 --> 00:44:23,759
Speaker 1: That's the one no that is that is very much.

1034
00:44:23,800 --> 00:44:25,839
Speaker 3: I don't like to get up in it. But if

1035
00:44:25,840 --> 00:44:28,279
Speaker 3: there is a player who's looked better than anybody else

1036
00:44:28,360 --> 00:44:30,839
Speaker 3: on the biggest stage against the best pitching in the

1037
00:44:30,880 --> 00:44:34,120
Speaker 3: world in the last month, it is Trey Turner.

1038
00:44:34,840 --> 00:44:36,680
Speaker 10: And Trey Turner.

1039
00:44:36,360 --> 00:44:38,200
Speaker 3: Looks like he was worth every bit of that three

1040
00:44:38,280 --> 00:44:41,000
Speaker 3: hundred plus million dollars that he got with the Philadelphia Phillies.

1041
00:44:41,000 --> 00:44:43,279
Speaker 3: And you're kidding me in a lineup that eventually will

1042
00:44:43,280 --> 00:44:45,919
Speaker 3: have Bryce Harper and Reyes Hoskins has had a great

1043
00:44:45,920 --> 00:44:49,040
Speaker 3: spring and JT. Realmudo's had a great spring and also

1044
00:44:49,120 --> 00:44:52,279
Speaker 3: great World Baseball and they have Kyle Schwarber two. I

1045
00:44:52,320 --> 00:44:55,160
Speaker 3: don't think there's any question that Philadelphia's offense is as

1046
00:44:55,160 --> 00:44:57,399
Speaker 3: good or better than any team in the National League.

1047
00:44:57,440 --> 00:45:00,520
Speaker 3: And so with Turner going there this year and his

1048
00:45:00,600 --> 00:45:02,759
Speaker 3: ability to steal as many bases as he does too,

1049
00:45:02,800 --> 00:45:04,680
Speaker 3: which obviously will get a little bit of a tick up,

1050
00:45:05,120 --> 00:45:07,399
Speaker 3: I think that that would be, at least for now,

1051
00:45:07,520 --> 00:45:08,960
Speaker 3: the one that I would be looking at to win

1052
00:45:09,000 --> 00:45:09,640
Speaker 3: the nationally Gem.

1053
00:45:09,600 --> 00:45:11,880
Speaker 1: VP and Welsh. That's a fascinating narrative too when you

1054
00:45:11,880 --> 00:45:14,480
Speaker 1: think about it, because you're talking about Bryce Harper not

1055
00:45:14,560 --> 00:45:17,120
Speaker 1: being there and carrying the load while Bryce Harper is out.

1056
00:45:17,120 --> 00:45:19,120
Speaker 1: You could really start to craft that because it's a

1057
00:45:19,160 --> 00:45:20,799
Speaker 1: media award at the end of the day, just like

1058
00:45:20,880 --> 00:45:22,839
Speaker 1: Verlander twenty five to one. It's I Young we were

1059
00:45:22,880 --> 00:45:24,799
Speaker 1: on that last year and just pounding the table for

1060
00:45:24,840 --> 00:45:26,840
Speaker 1: the narrative of that and the fact that it was

1061
00:45:27,080 --> 00:45:29,960
Speaker 1: very possible and then it ended up hitting at the

1062
00:45:30,040 --> 00:45:32,719
Speaker 1: end of the day. Is Turner a fascinating spot in

1063
00:45:32,760 --> 00:45:35,279
Speaker 1: your mind as well, because certainly from the number standpoint,

1064
00:45:35,480 --> 00:45:38,000
Speaker 1: it's a really good return on investment at plus eleven hundred.

1065
00:45:38,080 --> 00:45:40,200
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think so, because, like Juan Soto right at

1066
00:45:40,239 --> 00:45:42,400
Speaker 5: the top is already dealing with this oblique injury, and

1067
00:45:42,440 --> 00:45:45,160
Speaker 5: he's his favorite. I'm looking over in DraftKings right now

1068
00:45:45,200 --> 00:45:47,920
Speaker 5: at five and a half to one, he's the favorite Mookie.

1069
00:45:47,960 --> 00:45:49,640
Speaker 5: But we've talked about the Dodger stuff. You know, you

1070
00:45:49,680 --> 00:45:51,879
Speaker 5: think the Dodgers are going to kind of taper back

1071
00:45:51,920 --> 00:45:54,120
Speaker 5: a little bit that I think he provides the best

1072
00:45:54,160 --> 00:45:56,759
Speaker 5: odds and really really kind of jumps out to me

1073
00:45:57,440 --> 00:46:01,319
Speaker 5: on the al side, though, what I can get over, Craig,

1074
00:46:01,440 --> 00:46:04,880
Speaker 5: is there anybody but Otani and Judge that you would

1075
00:46:04,880 --> 00:46:07,480
Speaker 5: be willing to put your money on? And if so,

1076
00:46:07,680 --> 00:46:09,960
Speaker 5: obviously who is it? Because I can't parse what you

1077
00:46:10,040 --> 00:46:12,759
Speaker 5: do Otani versus Judge on the AF you're gonna take it.

1078
00:46:12,800 --> 00:46:14,719
Speaker 5: But is there anybody else, like a Mike Trout after

1079
00:46:14,760 --> 00:46:16,279
Speaker 5: striking out on a Tani that you will go with?

1080
00:46:16,440 --> 00:46:18,040
Speaker 3: I mean, first of all, if I was a voter,

1081
00:46:18,120 --> 00:46:20,480
Speaker 3: Otani would be the MVP every year, and that includes

1082
00:46:20,560 --> 00:46:21,239
Speaker 3: last year too.

1083
00:46:21,440 --> 00:46:22,800
Speaker 10: I mean, it's the most ridiculous.

1084
00:46:23,120 --> 00:46:25,239
Speaker 1: To that point, before we get into that, is this

1085
00:46:25,320 --> 00:46:28,600
Speaker 1: a very dangerous year for Otani for this award? Because

1086
00:46:28,640 --> 00:46:31,000
Speaker 1: if the Angels bought him out, he could be on

1087
00:46:31,040 --> 00:46:32,960
Speaker 1: his way somewhere else and he's on his way to

1088
00:46:32,960 --> 00:46:34,520
Speaker 1: the National League. All of a sudden, that becomes a

1089
00:46:34,719 --> 00:46:35,680
Speaker 1: very different that's true.

1090
00:46:36,080 --> 00:46:39,320
Speaker 3: That's that's true, and maybe that's something that is something

1091
00:46:39,320 --> 00:46:41,640
Speaker 3: to take advantage of this year and bank on that,

1092
00:46:41,680 --> 00:46:46,080
Speaker 3: maybe him getting traded. I cannot imagine the Angels trading him,

1093
00:46:46,239 --> 00:46:48,359
Speaker 3: and I can not imagine them not trading him, which

1094
00:46:48,360 --> 00:46:50,000
Speaker 3: sounds like the dumbest thing that you could ever say,

1095
00:46:50,040 --> 00:46:52,280
Speaker 3: because it's like, if the Angels that have any thought

1096
00:46:52,320 --> 00:46:54,359
Speaker 3: of him coming back, there's no way they should they

1097
00:46:54,360 --> 00:46:57,400
Speaker 3: can trade him. But if I am perryman Asian, the

1098
00:46:57,480 --> 00:46:59,800
Speaker 3: GM of the Angels, I am one hundred percent trading

1099
00:46:59,800 --> 00:47:01,320
Speaker 3: this guy at the trade deadline?

1100
00:47:01,320 --> 00:47:02,000
Speaker 10: Are you kidding me?

1101
00:47:02,080 --> 00:47:05,560
Speaker 3: Like, like, the Angels have been horrible for years and years,

1102
00:47:05,600 --> 00:47:07,960
Speaker 3: they have to cash in on this. I don't think

1103
00:47:07,960 --> 00:47:09,840
Speaker 3: he goes back to the Angels, and so Joe, I

1104
00:47:10,000 --> 00:47:11,920
Speaker 3: think that's a fair point. If he ends up going

1105
00:47:12,320 --> 00:47:14,440
Speaker 3: to an NL team, he's not gonna win the MVP.

1106
00:47:14,960 --> 00:47:17,359
Speaker 3: The only player that I would take a shot with

1107
00:47:17,440 --> 00:47:19,520
Speaker 3: because again you said it's a media award, which is

1108
00:47:19,520 --> 00:47:22,080
Speaker 3: really true, and who has been really right on the

1109
00:47:22,120 --> 00:47:24,320
Speaker 3: outside of that award. Maybe it's like this year, we

1110
00:47:24,360 --> 00:47:25,680
Speaker 3: got to make sure we get it to this guy.

1111
00:47:25,680 --> 00:47:27,840
Speaker 3: That would be Jose Ramirez on Cleveland, Like if he

1112
00:47:27,880 --> 00:47:31,719
Speaker 3: puts together another great season, maybe at some point the

1113
00:47:31,760 --> 00:47:33,759
Speaker 3: voters say, come on, like how many times can this

1114
00:47:33,760 --> 00:47:35,280
Speaker 3: guy finish second, third, fourth?

1115
00:47:35,960 --> 00:47:37,919
Speaker 10: And Cleveland obviously would have to have a good year too.

1116
00:47:38,360 --> 00:47:40,320
Speaker 1: Ramirez is one of the most underrated players. He just

1117
00:47:40,360 --> 00:47:42,719
Speaker 1: does not get enough respect. It's unbelievable. That's a great

1118
00:47:42,760 --> 00:47:45,400
Speaker 1: Rerout by the way.

1119
00:47:45,239 --> 00:47:48,160
Speaker 5: I thought he was gonna say Trout Media Award with it,

1120
00:47:48,239 --> 00:47:48,920
Speaker 5: So that's interesting.

1121
00:47:48,960 --> 00:47:51,359
Speaker 1: But that problem with Trout is, you know, again, same

1122
00:47:51,400 --> 00:47:54,279
Speaker 1: team as Otani and Otani's pitching, like it doesn't matter.

1123
00:47:54,320 --> 00:47:56,640
Speaker 5: But like if I guess, I guess, the logic would be,

1124
00:47:56,640 --> 00:47:59,520
Speaker 5: is if Otani this would this actually might completely nix

1125
00:47:59,640 --> 00:48:04,120
Speaker 5: Mike tra is an option? Whatsoever? Is if Otani is traded,

1126
00:48:04,360 --> 00:48:06,719
Speaker 5: that team is stinking, Mike Trout still doesn't win it.

1127
00:48:07,000 --> 00:48:08,840
Speaker 5: If that team is winning and going to get to

1128
00:48:08,880 --> 00:48:12,000
Speaker 5: the playoffs, Otani is clearly the favorite. Mike Trout is

1129
00:48:12,000 --> 00:48:15,719
Speaker 5: probably the most non votable player out of all of

1130
00:48:15,719 --> 00:48:16,719
Speaker 5: this money.

1131
00:48:18,520 --> 00:48:21,200
Speaker 1: No, they thank you, Craig Mish, thank you. I've actually

1132
00:48:21,200 --> 00:48:23,600
Speaker 1: already put money on Julio Rodriguez because I see a

1133
00:48:23,640 --> 00:48:27,000
Speaker 1: world row Tony does get traded, and the Mariners are

1134
00:48:27,000 --> 00:48:29,600
Speaker 1: this darling team and yours Julio and all the commercials,

1135
00:48:29,640 --> 00:48:31,480
Speaker 1: and I think we're just scratching the surface. Last year

1136
00:48:31,480 --> 00:48:34,600
Speaker 1: in the All Star Game, he was the story, you know,

1137
00:48:34,640 --> 00:48:36,799
Speaker 1: around that home run derby and everything. I think he's

1138
00:48:36,800 --> 00:48:40,240
Speaker 1: got all the makings of that next big time superstar already,

1139
00:48:40,440 --> 00:48:42,759
Speaker 1: and you're seeing him all over in every MLB commercial.

1140
00:48:43,200 --> 00:48:46,239
Speaker 1: Julio and the Mariners are a good story, especially if they,

1141
00:48:46,239 --> 00:48:49,919
Speaker 1: somehow God forbid, should overtake the Houston Astros. Because Houston

1142
00:48:49,920 --> 00:48:51,880
Speaker 1: Ashras are dealing with some issues right now. What if

1143
00:48:51,920 --> 00:48:54,759
Speaker 1: Alvarez's hand isn't right, What if al Tuovey struggles to

1144
00:48:54,800 --> 00:48:57,200
Speaker 1: come back, What does that pitching look like without Verlander?

1145
00:48:57,280 --> 00:48:59,480
Speaker 3: Mish Yeah, well, I mean, listen, you don't even have

1146
00:48:59,520 --> 00:49:01,480
Speaker 3: to go that or put Altuve in the lineup, put

1147
00:49:01,520 --> 00:49:04,520
Speaker 3: Alvarez in the lineup, and put and put Seattle right

1148
00:49:04,560 --> 00:49:06,560
Speaker 3: next to Houston, And you tell me, is there that

1149
00:49:06,640 --> 00:49:08,200
Speaker 3: big a difference between these two teams?

1150
00:49:08,239 --> 00:49:08,959
Speaker 10: I don't think so.

1151
00:49:08,960 --> 00:49:12,400
Speaker 3: So I think that you could be onto something there

1152
00:49:12,480 --> 00:49:16,920
Speaker 3: and look Seattle. To me, their rotation probably better than

1153
00:49:16,960 --> 00:49:19,440
Speaker 3: Houston's honestly going into the season when you look at it,

1154
00:49:19,520 --> 00:49:21,640
Speaker 3: So no reason why that can't happen.

1155
00:49:22,080 --> 00:49:25,520
Speaker 1: I would say rotation to Seattle, but line up, I

1156
00:49:25,560 --> 00:49:27,239
Speaker 1: still say Houston AFTERCS.

1157
00:49:27,120 --> 00:49:28,920
Speaker 10: Probably so, but not that far off.

1158
00:49:29,040 --> 00:49:31,440
Speaker 1: Not that you gotta stay healthy right that the age

1159
00:49:31,480 --> 00:49:35,839
Speaker 1: potentially makes a problem. There. Can't thank Craig Mish enough

1160
00:49:35,840 --> 00:49:38,800
Speaker 1: for stopping by and talking with us. And of course

1161
00:49:38,840 --> 00:49:41,560
Speaker 1: we save the best for last for you. The incomparable

1162
00:49:41,719 --> 00:49:44,240
Speaker 1: Eno Sarus and some of his breakout candidates for twenty

1163
00:49:44,280 --> 00:49:47,640
Speaker 1: twenty three, Lars Newt Bar of the Saint Louis Cardinals

1164
00:49:48,000 --> 00:49:51,840
Speaker 1: and Drew Rasmusen, pitcher for the Tampa Bay Rays. Here's

1165
00:49:52,160 --> 00:49:54,400
Speaker 1: ENO's take on those two players.

1166
00:49:55,719 --> 00:49:58,399
Speaker 5: My favorite player and Joe every time to heat. It's

1167
00:49:58,440 --> 00:50:00,200
Speaker 5: one of those things where it's like everyone make a

1168
00:50:00,239 --> 00:50:02,440
Speaker 5: drink when I say his name has been large new

1169
00:50:02,480 --> 00:50:05,799
Speaker 5: Bar this year. Every all the different articles that I've

1170
00:50:05,800 --> 00:50:08,200
Speaker 5: put on Fantasy Pros and some of the solo videos,

1171
00:50:08,280 --> 00:50:11,040
Speaker 5: I'm actually trying to not put Lars new Bar into

1172
00:50:11,080 --> 00:50:13,400
Speaker 5: them so I can just talk about different players. He

1173
00:50:13,560 --> 00:50:15,800
Speaker 5: is one of my big breakouts, so we're talking breakouts.

1174
00:50:15,920 --> 00:50:18,160
Speaker 5: You interviewed him. It's a great interview. You guys can

1175
00:50:18,239 --> 00:50:21,359
Speaker 5: check out in it. It talked about how last year

1176
00:50:21,400 --> 00:50:24,400
Speaker 5: he was really working on expanding and being able to

1177
00:50:24,480 --> 00:50:27,480
Speaker 5: access max evs, and this year he's taking that work

1178
00:50:27,480 --> 00:50:30,399
Speaker 5: with drive line and turned it into barreling and making

1179
00:50:30,480 --> 00:50:33,440
Speaker 5: great contact with that stuff. I love him. I know

1180
00:50:33,520 --> 00:50:35,560
Speaker 5: you love him. You had a great interview, and I

1181
00:50:35,640 --> 00:50:37,799
Speaker 5: know he's on your breakout range, So talk to us

1182
00:50:37,800 --> 00:50:40,400
Speaker 5: about Lars new Bar and really just valid give me

1183
00:50:40,480 --> 00:50:42,920
Speaker 5: validation on Lars new Bar is really all I'm asking.

1184
00:50:43,000 --> 00:50:45,239
Speaker 11: Well, Katnip to me when I talked to players, is

1185
00:50:45,400 --> 00:50:50,000
Speaker 11: you know, like Clark Schmidt, a knowledge of the metrics

1186
00:50:50,000 --> 00:50:53,160
Speaker 11: and knowledge of the advanced tech and a real desire

1187
00:50:53,239 --> 00:50:56,640
Speaker 11: to learn and improve. And I've seen that with Lars Nugar,

1188
00:50:56,800 --> 00:50:59,840
Speaker 11: just like I saw with Clark sch Schmidt. And it

1189
00:51:00,160 --> 00:51:02,399
Speaker 11: was really fun. I actually got to train alongside him.

1190
00:51:02,600 --> 00:51:04,720
Speaker 11: I took my shirt off and put the little balls

1191
00:51:04,719 --> 00:51:07,919
Speaker 11: on for the mo cap in the motion capture lab

1192
00:51:08,440 --> 00:51:12,279
Speaker 11: next to him, took VP with him, and he is

1193
00:51:12,760 --> 00:51:17,160
Speaker 11: the world's friendliest man. He is also super interested in

1194
00:51:17,280 --> 00:51:20,120
Speaker 11: learning about hitting. So yeah, he went in there with

1195
00:51:20,160 --> 00:51:23,720
Speaker 11: the weighted bat program to access that top end power.

1196
00:51:24,040 --> 00:51:26,600
Speaker 11: He already had great bat to ball in great sense

1197
00:51:26,640 --> 00:51:28,960
Speaker 11: of the strike zone, and so he added that top

1198
00:51:29,080 --> 00:51:31,240
Speaker 11: end power. Now this year he's just trying to refine

1199
00:51:31,280 --> 00:51:35,360
Speaker 11: it and pull more fly balls, which pulled fly balls

1200
00:51:35,360 --> 00:51:38,439
Speaker 11: are the best bat ball in the business. But last

1201
00:51:38,480 --> 00:51:41,240
Speaker 11: year he already showed something that I think is pretty cool.

1202
00:51:41,480 --> 00:51:43,560
Speaker 11: He was in the top quartile when it comes to

1203
00:51:43,640 --> 00:51:47,960
Speaker 11: contact rate and barrel rate. And here are the other names.

1204
00:51:48,040 --> 00:51:50,440
Speaker 11: There's not that many of them. There's only about eight

1205
00:51:50,480 --> 00:51:53,799
Speaker 11: of them, but they're all pretty good. Jor Don Alvarez,

1206
00:51:54,480 --> 00:52:01,480
Speaker 11: Juan Soto, Carlos Correa, Seya Suzuki, Freddy free, Will Smith,

1207
00:52:02,920 --> 00:52:06,439
Speaker 11: Lars Nutbar, Taylor Ward, and then a couple of guys

1208
00:52:06,440 --> 00:52:08,560
Speaker 11: that give you a little bit of pause. Matt Carpenter

1209
00:52:09,120 --> 00:52:12,319
Speaker 11: was on there, Daniel Vogelbach, Brandon Drewy. But none of

1210
00:52:12,320 --> 00:52:14,080
Speaker 11: those guys is bad, you know.

1211
00:52:14,280 --> 00:52:14,360
Speaker 1: And.

1212
00:52:15,840 --> 00:52:18,960
Speaker 11: Newbar should join them in terms of he was the

1213
00:52:19,120 --> 00:52:23,000
Speaker 11: lowest home run output on this group, and so everybody

1214
00:52:23,000 --> 00:52:26,200
Speaker 11: else in this group averaged twenty five to thirty homers.

1215
00:52:26,560 --> 00:52:28,279
Speaker 11: And that's where Newtbar is going to be.

1216
00:52:28,320 --> 00:52:30,000
Speaker 5: This where do you have him ranked where as far

1217
00:52:30,000 --> 00:52:31,640
Speaker 5: as when we're talking about breakouts, I mean, you just

1218
00:52:31,680 --> 00:52:33,560
Speaker 5: blew my mind with Clark Schmid's Where do you have

1219
00:52:33,680 --> 00:52:36,120
Speaker 5: him Lars ranked among outfielders.

1220
00:52:36,760 --> 00:52:41,200
Speaker 11: I took him as my third outfielder in TGFBI. I

1221
00:52:41,239 --> 00:52:42,759
Speaker 11: think he can be that good.

1222
00:52:43,200 --> 00:52:46,200
Speaker 1: Wow. All right, let's move on to the pitchers back again.

1223
00:52:46,280 --> 00:52:48,400
Speaker 1: I want to ask you about Drew Rasmussen because I'm

1224
00:52:48,400 --> 00:52:50,200
Speaker 1: sick and tired of hearing about Jeffrey Springs all the

1225
00:52:50,200 --> 00:52:52,799
Speaker 1: time from Welsh So let's talk about Rasmussen here. Because

1226
00:52:52,840 --> 00:52:54,839
Speaker 1: this is a picture last year, one hundred and forty

1227
00:52:54,880 --> 00:52:58,400
Speaker 1: six innings eleven and seven record. He had one hundred

1228
00:52:58,400 --> 00:53:00,560
Speaker 1: and twenty five strikeouts in those hundred and four so

1229
00:53:00,560 --> 00:53:02,719
Speaker 1: the strikeout rate a little bit lower than some of

1230
00:53:02,760 --> 00:53:05,919
Speaker 1: those quote unquote elite potential starters two enty four era

1231
00:53:06,080 --> 00:53:08,840
Speaker 1: though one point zero four whip. So obviously the pitching

1232
00:53:08,960 --> 00:53:11,680
Speaker 1: skill is there with Rasmussen, even if he's not necessarily

1233
00:53:11,719 --> 00:53:15,040
Speaker 1: putting guys away. Sometimes you know they could be slightly overrated.

1234
00:53:15,040 --> 00:53:16,840
Speaker 1: But you are very high on rasmusson what do you

1235
00:53:16,840 --> 00:53:18,880
Speaker 1: see in him this year? Em It makes you think

1236
00:53:18,920 --> 00:53:21,319
Speaker 1: he could take that step forward from what he did

1237
00:53:21,360 --> 00:53:22,120
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty two.

1238
00:53:23,040 --> 00:53:26,560
Speaker 11: I was just in fabulous Florida along with Red Tide

1239
00:53:26,600 --> 00:53:27,719
Speaker 11: by the way and Red Tide.

1240
00:53:27,840 --> 00:53:30,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, you didn't bring that over with you, right, Oh

1241
00:53:30,080 --> 00:53:31,680
Speaker 1: my god, you left that in Florida.

1242
00:53:31,800 --> 00:53:34,120
Speaker 11: Okay, that was and I was in one of the

1243
00:53:34,120 --> 00:53:36,400
Speaker 11: worst hotel rooms of all time. Any rates and barrel

1244
00:53:36,480 --> 00:53:39,120
Speaker 11: listeners knows what I'm talking about there. But anyway, let's

1245
00:53:39,120 --> 00:53:41,640
Speaker 11: not talk about terrible hotel rooms. Let's talk about Drew Rasmus.

1246
00:53:41,760 --> 00:53:44,120
Speaker 11: And I talked to him about the same sort of

1247
00:53:44,200 --> 00:53:47,360
Speaker 11: thing that Clark Schmidt was talking about. He was talking about,

1248
00:53:47,440 --> 00:53:51,000
Speaker 11: I'm throwing a gyro slider that we're calling a cutter

1249
00:53:51,480 --> 00:53:56,000
Speaker 11: because there's no button on the pitch com for gyro

1250
00:53:56,120 --> 00:54:00,160
Speaker 11: slider or sweeper, so we call the gyroslider the cut

1251
00:54:00,440 --> 00:54:02,880
Speaker 11: and we call the sweeper of the slider. He's throwing

1252
00:54:02,920 --> 00:54:05,000
Speaker 11: both of those. He was doing that last year, but

1253
00:54:05,080 --> 00:54:07,000
Speaker 11: I think he's going to refine it this year. My

1254
00:54:07,080 --> 00:54:11,840
Speaker 11: evidence is I've got a springs training stuff plus list,

1255
00:54:11,880 --> 00:54:13,840
Speaker 11: and you know you might have seen stuff plus on

1256
00:54:14,320 --> 00:54:17,479
Speaker 11: fangrass recently and you'll see it updated there all year.

1257
00:54:17,680 --> 00:54:19,960
Speaker 11: They do not have the spring training numbers up there,

1258
00:54:20,320 --> 00:54:23,759
Speaker 11: partially because the machines aren't in every park, so it's

1259
00:54:23,800 --> 00:54:27,839
Speaker 11: not a complete data set, and so I can't say

1260
00:54:27,880 --> 00:54:30,520
Speaker 11: that these are necessarily the best stuff plus of all

1261
00:54:30,560 --> 00:54:33,760
Speaker 11: of spring training. A lot of Arizona parks don't have

1262
00:54:33,920 --> 00:54:37,480
Speaker 11: the machines in them. But among the parks that do

1263
00:54:37,520 --> 00:54:42,120
Speaker 11: have machines, Spencer Strider's number one, duh Garrett Coles, number two,

1264
00:54:42,400 --> 00:54:48,240
Speaker 11: du Kevin Gossman, number three, Jesus Losarto, number four, Shane

1265
00:54:48,320 --> 00:54:52,320
Speaker 11: McClanahan number five, Drew Rasmus, and number six Grayson Rodriguez

1266
00:54:52,400 --> 00:54:54,319
Speaker 11: number seven. We got a couple more later if we

1267
00:54:54,360 --> 00:54:58,640
Speaker 11: get to him, but so Drew Rasmussen right there with

1268
00:54:58,640 --> 00:55:01,160
Speaker 11: Shane McClanahan when it comes to stuff plus this spring,

1269
00:55:02,000 --> 00:55:04,480
Speaker 11: it's in a decent sample. One hundred and fifty pitches

1270
00:55:04,880 --> 00:55:07,680
Speaker 11: gives you a good sense when it comes to stuff plus,

1271
00:55:07,719 --> 00:55:10,600
Speaker 11: it's a really good number of small samples. Our projection

1272
00:55:10,680 --> 00:55:14,760
Speaker 11: have him for a three three era innings is the question.

1273
00:55:15,280 --> 00:55:17,600
Speaker 11: But one thing that I noticed was he had eleven

1274
00:55:17,640 --> 00:55:19,680
Speaker 11: wins last year, and there was a lot of belly

1275
00:55:19,719 --> 00:55:21,879
Speaker 11: aching about how he's going to be used. He only

1276
00:55:21,960 --> 00:55:24,839
Speaker 11: had eighty pitches. The rays weren't going to use him,

1277
00:55:25,040 --> 00:55:27,319
Speaker 11: but where he could have wins. And maybe it's true

1278
00:55:27,320 --> 00:55:30,319
Speaker 11: in quality start leagues, but in wins leagues, eleven is

1279
00:55:30,360 --> 00:55:32,919
Speaker 11: not that bad, you know what I mean, Like, you've

1280
00:55:32,960 --> 00:55:35,040
Speaker 11: got a lot of value out of Drew Rasmus last.

1281
00:55:35,080 --> 00:55:37,480
Speaker 1: Especially for an offense that didn't have Wonder Franco for

1282
00:55:37,680 --> 00:55:39,520
Speaker 1: a good chunk of the season. And that's part of

1283
00:55:39,520 --> 00:55:42,080
Speaker 1: allow a good chunk of the season. I mean, like,

1284
00:55:42,680 --> 00:55:44,600
Speaker 1: let's think about that. I mean, do you think that

1285
00:55:45,120 --> 00:55:48,080
Speaker 1: you know, those two bats alone are something that you

1286
00:55:48,120 --> 00:55:50,200
Speaker 1: can look at and say, hey, you know that eleven

1287
00:55:50,239 --> 00:55:52,920
Speaker 1: could very easily turn into twelve or thirteen at least

1288
00:55:52,920 --> 00:55:55,840
Speaker 1: this year with a little bit more help from the offense.

1289
00:55:56,200 --> 00:55:58,360
Speaker 11: Yeah, no, I had to. I thought about It's a

1290
00:55:58,360 --> 00:56:00,480
Speaker 11: great point though, because I do think that offense is

1291
00:56:00,480 --> 00:56:03,040
Speaker 11: going to be better. I think Wander has the potential

1292
00:56:03,040 --> 00:56:05,319
Speaker 11: to take a step forward, a huge step forward this year,

1293
00:56:05,760 --> 00:56:08,400
Speaker 11: and if he does, I think that changes the concept

1294
00:56:08,440 --> 00:56:10,759
Speaker 11: of that team offensively. But then I just talked to

1295
00:56:10,800 --> 00:56:13,360
Speaker 11: Drew also about like, you know, what's it like pitching?

1296
00:56:13,400 --> 00:56:15,640
Speaker 11: You know, I told him my finding that you know,

1297
00:56:16,000 --> 00:56:19,240
Speaker 11: camera Grove actually found this thing that a pitcher's command

1298
00:56:19,320 --> 00:56:20,200
Speaker 11: starts falling off.

1299
00:56:20,080 --> 00:56:20,920
Speaker 10: After eighty pitches.

1300
00:56:20,960 --> 00:56:23,000
Speaker 11: You look, you look at the Rays, they average eighty

1301
00:56:23,040 --> 00:56:24,000
Speaker 11: pitches for their starters.

1302
00:56:24,000 --> 00:56:25,360
Speaker 1: So it's like, whoa, okay.

1303
00:56:26,160 --> 00:56:28,160
Speaker 11: And I asked and Drew about that, and he's like, yeah,

1304
00:56:28,480 --> 00:56:30,960
Speaker 11: you know, it just makes me mean feel like I

1305
00:56:30,960 --> 00:56:33,560
Speaker 11: have to be super efficient because I know I have

1306
00:56:33,600 --> 00:56:35,840
Speaker 11: a hard cap. I want to get five six innings

1307
00:56:35,840 --> 00:56:38,000
Speaker 11: out of my eighty pitches, and so I have to

1308
00:56:38,000 --> 00:56:40,320
Speaker 11: be super efficient, and I have to game plan every player,

1309
00:56:40,520 --> 00:56:41,799
Speaker 11: and I have to know what I'm going to do,

1310
00:56:41,840 --> 00:56:44,520
Speaker 11: and I have to have three breaking balls and two

1311
00:56:44,560 --> 00:56:47,399
Speaker 11: fastballs and do what I can to get every guy out.

1312
00:56:47,440 --> 00:56:50,400
Speaker 11: And so he just convinced me that he can be

1313
00:56:50,600 --> 00:56:53,719
Speaker 11: as efficient this year and maybe they'll let him go,

1314
00:56:54,040 --> 00:56:55,920
Speaker 11: you know, a few more pitches, a few more innings

1315
00:56:55,960 --> 00:56:58,040
Speaker 11: this year as he's built up. He's more built up

1316
00:56:58,080 --> 00:56:58,520
Speaker 11: than he's been.

1317
00:56:58,600 --> 00:57:00,680
Speaker 5: What was that rank that you put on Rash as

1318
00:57:00,680 --> 00:57:02,920
Speaker 5: well when we're talking about how he's going to break out? Dan,

1319
00:57:02,960 --> 00:57:04,799
Speaker 5: did you have a pretty aggressive rest muse in rank?

1320
00:57:05,000 --> 00:57:08,319
Speaker 5: I've gotten thirty. That's a pretty aggressive rest muse and rank.

1321
00:57:09,160 --> 00:57:13,400
Speaker 1: Well, there you have it, folks. An incredible assemble of Avengers,
