Speaker 1: sign up today. So, without further ado, here are the
Speaker 1: names to pick up in Week two of Major League Baseball,
Speaker 1: and let's get going. Let's start with Bryce Terrang, shortstop,
Speaker 1: second basement for the Milwaukee Brewers. Now, Bryce Rang is
Speaker 1: a twenty three year old pros for the Brewers. He's
Speaker 1: rostered and roughly forty percent of leagues right now, and
Speaker 1: he's gotten off to a terrific start. He is on
Speaker 1: the strong side of this platoon right now, being the
Speaker 1: left handed bat, but if he keeps this pace going,
Speaker 1: he could start to see some at bats against left
Speaker 1: handed pitching as well. So far in the year, has
Speaker 1: already got a home run, hitting five hundred to start
Speaker 1: the season. And if you go back and look at
Speaker 1: the minor league track record of terrang pretty good. In
Speaker 1: Triple A last year, he had two eighty six sole
Speaker 1: thirty four bases in one hundred and thirty one games,
Speaker 1: which could make Bryce Terraan quite the roto asset. The
Speaker 1: slugging percentagers is four to twelve. He did it thirteen
Speaker 1: home runs, so the pop isn't quite enormous. However, this
Speaker 1: is a guy with a three to sixty OVP last
Speaker 1: year in Triple A. Will he play every day? That's
Speaker 1: a question mark, but the upside is there, especially in
Speaker 1: formats at value stolen bases in any head to head
Speaker 1: or season long rodo leagues. Let's stay in Milwaukee for
Speaker 1: the second guy on this week's listen. That's Brian Anderson,
Speaker 1: third baseman outfielder for the Miami Marlins. Now, Brian Anderson
Speaker 1: is an interesting case because he is just twenty nine
Speaker 1: years old and he is in his prime. Last time
Speaker 1: that he had every day at bats for the Marlins,
Speaker 1: Brian Anderson did put up a twenty home run season
Speaker 1: for the Fish and he.
Speaker 2: Also at two sixty that year.
Speaker 1: So far, over his first five games, he's got three
Speaker 1: home runs and ten RBI, hitting five hundred.
Speaker 2: Now, that's not going to sustain. We all know that.
Speaker 1: However, it does bear witness the fact that this move
Speaker 1: from Miami to Milwaukee is an enormous jump in terms
Speaker 1: of ballpark factor on Anderson's side. We saw what it
Speaker 1: did for Rowdy Teles and Willie Adamas the last few years,
Speaker 1: and Brian Anderson could be that guy. So, although he
Speaker 1: has rostered roughly right now in just twenty five percent
Speaker 1: of leagues, he might hang on this waiver wire a
Speaker 1: little longer than he should because people just kind of
Speaker 1: roll their eyes and say, well, it's just Brian Anderson.
Speaker 1: But this could be a different version in a different
Speaker 1: place and could be a far better long term fantasy asset,
Speaker 1: especially considering third base is a tough position to fill.
Speaker 1: Number three James Outman, outfielder for the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Speaker 2: Now, outfield is a crowded location.
Speaker 1: For Los Angeles right now, but James Outman has certainly
Speaker 1: asserted himself well in the early going over his first
Speaker 1: six games, a home run, five RBI and a steel
Speaker 1: hitting two eighty six over.
Speaker 2: Those fourteen at bats.
Speaker 1: He had two triples the other day as well, and
Speaker 1: Alvin certainly looks like a versatile player who could really
Speaker 1: help give an injection to this Los Angeles Dodgers lineup.
Speaker 1: He is rostered already in sixty percent of leagues, but
Speaker 1: that means he's available still in forty So I would
Speaker 1: add him right now and hope that James Outman continues
Speaker 1: to carve out at bats because this twenty five year
Speaker 1: old prospect could have an opportunity to make major Fantasy contributions.
Speaker 1: And we all know outfield is always tough to find,
Speaker 1: so Altman would be a good one if he's still
Speaker 1: floating around your waiver wire.
Speaker 2: To add number four Twins outfielder Trevor Larnick. Now, I
Speaker 2: have been a big.
Speaker 1: Supporter of Trevor Larnick. Throughout his minor league career and
Speaker 1: so far in the major league level, the production has
Speaker 1: been sporadic, but right now there's a need for Trevor
Speaker 1: Larnick to be in the middle of this order. We've
Speaker 1: all heard about Alex Kiroloff every single year, but injuries
Speaker 1: always seem to take him out of this equation, and
Speaker 1: Larnick so far has been the guy slowly making ways
Speaker 1: for the Twins. He's always delivered good time exit velocities.
Speaker 1: He's always had some good played appearances, and now it
Speaker 1: seems like the strong spring that saw him hit three
Speaker 1: point fifty with four home runs and starting to carry over.
Speaker 1: As long as he can keep that strikeout rate down,
Speaker 1: Trevor Larna could be a huge asset in fantasy leagues.
Speaker 1: So far, over his first five games, he's at in
Speaker 1: four to twenty one with a homer, and he's also
Speaker 1: got four walks to go along in those five games.
Speaker 1: That's a big deal. That means he's taking better at
Speaker 1: bats and seeing the ball better. As long as that
Speaker 1: walk rate holes and the strikeout rate doesn't increase too much,
Speaker 1: Trevor Larna could be a player who's finally at the
Speaker 1: age of twenty six, starting to realize his potential and
Speaker 1: would be an everyday player for the Twins and your
Speaker 1: fantasy roster. And lastly, you say Kakuchi Toronto Blue Jay's
Speaker 1: starting pitcher, and he also qualifies that RP in some
Speaker 1: leagues as well. Kakuchi right now is rostered in just
Speaker 1: fifty six percent of leagues. And I know the first
Speaker 1: start really didn't blow the doors off anybody against the
Speaker 1: Kansas City Royals, but he did go five strong innings.
Speaker 1: He only struck out two batters, so people are kind
Speaker 1: of rolling their eyes there, But I think Kakuchi could
Speaker 1: really contribute if you look at what he did this spring,
Speaker 1: thirty one k's in twenty and two thirds innings.
Speaker 2: That was huge.
Speaker 1: Plus the velocity is up by almost one and a
Speaker 1: half miles per hour on the fastball. That's a good thing.
Speaker 1: It means he's healthy. It means that change up also
Speaker 1: will work better when that velocity is a little higher.
Speaker 2: So Kakuchi pitches for a.
Speaker 1: Good team with a good offense, had a pretty good defense.
Speaker 1: This could be a guy that could continue to pile
Speaker 1: up wins. And I think there's a better strikeout rate
Speaker 1: to be had. So although the first start wasn't mind blowing,
Speaker 1: take it as an opportunity to pick up some starting
Speaker 1: pitching depth with Kokuchi who could provide solid returns for
Speaker 1: the months ahead. So there you have it, everybody, those
Speaker 1: are the five guys that I want to add this week.
Speaker 1: Who are some of the names that you want to add?

Speaker 1: your rosters? Drop that comment below and you could potentially
