So, without further ado, here are the 18 00:00:48,479 --> 00:00:51,200 Speaker 1: names to pick up in Week two of Major League Baseball, 19 00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:56,280 Speaker 1: and let's get going. Let's start with Bryce Terrang, shortstop, 20 00:00:56,320 --> 00:00:59,000 Speaker 1: second basement for the Milwaukee Brewers. Now, Bryce Rang is 21 00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:01,080 Speaker 1: a twenty three year old pros for the Brewers. He's 22 00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:03,880 Speaker 1: rostered and roughly forty percent of leagues right now, and 23 00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:05,920 Speaker 1: he's gotten off to a terrific start. He is on 24 00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:08,280 Speaker 1: the strong side of this platoon right now, being the 25 00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:10,600 Speaker 1: left handed bat, but if he keeps this pace going, 26 00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:12,840 Speaker 1: he could start to see some at bats against left 27 00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:15,080 Speaker 1: handed pitching as well. So far in the year, has 28 00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:17,200 Speaker 1: already got a home run, hitting five hundred to start 29 00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:18,920 Speaker 1: the season. And if you go back and look at 30 00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:21,800 Speaker 1: the minor league track record of terrang pretty good. In 31 00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:24,000 Speaker 1: Triple A last year, he had two eighty six sole 32 00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:26,559 Speaker 1: thirty four bases in one hundred and thirty one games, 33 00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:29,960 Speaker 1: which could make Bryce Terraan quite the roto asset. The 34 00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:32,400 Speaker 1: slugging percentagers is four to twelve. He did it thirteen 35 00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:35,520 Speaker 1: home runs, so the pop isn't quite enormous. However, this 36 00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:37,400 Speaker 1: is a guy with a three to sixty OVP last 37 00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:39,960 Speaker 1: year in Triple A. Will he play every day? That's 38 00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:42,600 Speaker 1: a question mark, but the upside is there, especially in 39 00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:45,840 Speaker 1: formats at value stolen bases in any head to head 40 00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:49,560 Speaker 1: or season long rodo leagues. Let's stay in Milwaukee for 41 00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:51,960 Speaker 1: the second guy on this week's listen. That's Brian Anderson, 42 00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:56,160 Speaker 1: third baseman outfielder for the Miami Marlins. Now, Brian Anderson 43 00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:58,120 Speaker 1: is an interesting case because he is just twenty nine 44 00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:00,920 Speaker 1: years old and he is in his prime. Last time 45 00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:03,280 Speaker 1: that he had every day at bats for the Marlins, 46 00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:06,360 Speaker 1: Brian Anderson did put up a twenty home run season 47 00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:07,480 Speaker 1: for the Fish and he. 48 00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:09,000 Speaker 2: Also at two sixty that year. 49 00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:11,560 Speaker 1: So far, over his first five games, he's got three 50 00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:13,920 Speaker 1: home runs and ten RBI, hitting five hundred. 51 00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:16,680 Speaker 2: Now, that's not going to sustain. We all know that. 52 00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:20,600 Speaker 1: However, it does bear witness the fact that this move 53 00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:24,560 Speaker 1: from Miami to Milwaukee is an enormous jump in terms 54 00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:27,880 Speaker 1: of ballpark factor on Anderson's side. We saw what it 55 00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:30,720 Speaker 1: did for Rowdy Teles and Willie Adamas the last few years, 56 00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:33,120 Speaker 1: and Brian Anderson could be that guy. So, although he 57 00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:36,239 Speaker 1: has rostered roughly right now in just twenty five percent 58 00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:38,640 Speaker 1: of leagues, he might hang on this waiver wire a 59 00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:41,359 Speaker 1: little longer than he should because people just kind of 60 00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:43,720 Speaker 1: roll their eyes and say, well, it's just Brian Anderson. 61 00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:45,800 Speaker 1: But this could be a different version in a different 62 00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:49,000 Speaker 1: place and could be a far better long term fantasy asset, 63 00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:52,200 Speaker 1: especially considering third base is a tough position to fill. 64 00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:56,200 Speaker 1: Number three James Outman, outfielder for the Los Angeles Dodgers. 65 00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:58,919 Speaker 2: Now, outfield is a crowded location. 66 00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:02,160 Speaker 1: For Los Angeles right now, but James Outman has certainly 67 00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:04,880 Speaker 1: asserted himself well in the early going over his first 68 00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:08,000 Speaker 1: six games, a home run, five RBI and a steel 69 00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:09,880 Speaker 1: hitting two eighty six over. 70 00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:10,960 Speaker 2: Those fourteen at bats. 71 00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:13,400 Speaker 1: He had two triples the other day as well, and 72 00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:16,440 Speaker 1: Alvin certainly looks like a versatile player who could really 73 00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:20,360 Speaker 1: help give an injection to this Los Angeles Dodgers lineup. 74 00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:22,920 Speaker 1: He is rostered already in sixty percent of leagues, but 75 00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:25,519 Speaker 1: that means he's available still in forty So I would 76 00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:27,920 Speaker 1: add him right now and hope that James Outman continues 77 00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:30,600 Speaker 1: to carve out at bats because this twenty five year 78 00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:34,400 Speaker 1: old prospect could have an opportunity to make major Fantasy contributions. 79 00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:36,880 Speaker 1: And we all know outfield is always tough to find, 80 00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:38,720 Speaker 1: so Altman would be a good one if he's still 81 00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:40,200 Speaker 1: floating around your waiver wire. 82 00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:45,040 Speaker 2: To add number four Twins outfielder Trevor Larnick. Now, I 83 00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:46,480 Speaker 2: have been a big. 84 00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:49,720 Speaker 1: Supporter of Trevor Larnick. Throughout his minor league career and 85 00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:52,480 Speaker 1: so far in the major league level, the production has 86 00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:55,200 Speaker 1: been sporadic, but right now there's a need for Trevor 87 00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:57,960 Speaker 1: Larnick to be in the middle of this order. We've 88 00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:01,120 Speaker 1: all heard about Alex Kiroloff every single year, but injuries 89 00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:02,960 Speaker 1: always seem to take him out of this equation, and 90 00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:07,600 Speaker 1: Larnick so far has been the guy slowly making ways 91 00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:11,600 Speaker 1: for the Twins. He's always delivered good time exit velocities. 92 00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:14,400 Speaker 1: He's always had some good played appearances, and now it 93 00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:16,520 Speaker 1: seems like the strong spring that saw him hit three 94 00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:19,839 Speaker 1: point fifty with four home runs and starting to carry over. 95 00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:22,560 Speaker 1: As long as he can keep that strikeout rate down, 96 00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:25,080 Speaker 1: Trevor Larna could be a huge asset in fantasy leagues. 97 00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:27,200 Speaker 1: So far, over his first five games, he's at in 98 00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:29,720 Speaker 1: four to twenty one with a homer, and he's also 99 00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:33,080 Speaker 1: got four walks to go along in those five games. 100 00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:35,640 Speaker 1: That's a big deal. That means he's taking better at 101 00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:37,719 Speaker 1: bats and seeing the ball better. As long as that 102 00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:40,880 Speaker 1: walk rate holes and the strikeout rate doesn't increase too much, 103 00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:43,240 Speaker 1: Trevor Larna could be a player who's finally at the 104 00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:46,440 Speaker 1: age of twenty six, starting to realize his potential and 105 00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:49,479 Speaker 1: would be an everyday player for the Twins and your 106 00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:53,440 Speaker 1: fantasy roster. And lastly, you say Kakuchi Toronto Blue Jay's 107 00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:56,080 Speaker 1: starting pitcher, and he also qualifies that RP in some 108 00:04:56,279 --> 00:04:59,599 Speaker 1: leagues as well. Kakuchi right now is rostered in just 109 00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:03,040 Speaker 1: fifty six percent of leagues. And I know the first 110 00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:05,400 Speaker 1: start really didn't blow the doors off anybody against the 111 00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:07,839 Speaker 1: Kansas City Royals, but he did go five strong innings. 112 00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:09,880 Speaker 1: He only struck out two batters, so people are kind 113 00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:12,200 Speaker 1: of rolling their eyes there, But I think Kakuchi could 114 00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:14,159 Speaker 1: really contribute if you look at what he did this spring, 115 00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:16,800 Speaker 1: thirty one k's in twenty and two thirds innings. 116 00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:17,839 Speaker 2: That was huge. 117 00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:21,640 Speaker 1: Plus the velocity is up by almost one and a 118 00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:24,599 Speaker 1: half miles per hour on the fastball. That's a good thing. 119 00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:27,640 Speaker 1: It means he's healthy. It means that change up also 120 00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:30,480 Speaker 1: will work better when that velocity is a little higher. 121 00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:32,160 Speaker 2: So Kakuchi pitches for a. 122 00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:35,120 Speaker 1: Good team with a good offense, had a pretty good defense. 123 00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:37,120 Speaker 1: This could be a guy that could continue to pile 124 00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:40,400 Speaker 1: up wins. And I think there's a better strikeout rate 125 00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:43,400 Speaker 1: to be had. So although the first start wasn't mind blowing, 126 00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:46,040 Speaker 1: take it as an opportunity to pick up some starting 127 00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:49,520 Speaker 1: pitching depth with Kokuchi who could provide solid returns for 128 00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:52,080 Speaker 1: the months ahead. So there you have it, everybody, those 129 00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:53,880 Speaker 1: are the five guys that I want to add this week. 130 00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:55,600 Speaker 1: Who are some of the names that you want to add? 131 00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:57,719 Speaker 1: What do you think of some of my additions to 132 00:05:57,760 --> 00:06:00,800 Speaker 1: your rosters?
