<v Speaker 1>sign up today. So, without further ado, here are the

0:00:48.479 --> 0:00:51.200
<v Speaker 1>names to pick up in Week two of Major League Baseball,

0:00:51.760 --> 0:00:56.280
<v Speaker 1>and let's get going. Let's start with Bryce Terrang, shortstop,

0:00:56.320 --> 0:00:59.000
<v Speaker 1>second basement for the Milwaukee Brewers. Now, Bryce Rang is

0:00:59.000 --> 0:01:01.080
<v Speaker 1>a twenty three year old pros for the Brewers. He's

0:01:01.160 --> 0:01:03.880
<v Speaker 1>rostered and roughly forty percent of leagues right now, and

0:01:03.920 --> 0:01:05.920
<v Speaker 1>he's gotten off to a terrific start. He is on

0:01:05.959 --> 0:01:08.280
<v Speaker 1>the strong side of this platoon right now, being the

0:01:08.360 --> 0:01:10.600
<v Speaker 1>left handed bat, but if he keeps this pace going,

0:01:10.959 --> 0:01:12.840
<v Speaker 1>he could start to see some at bats against left

0:01:12.840 --> 0:01:15.080
<v Speaker 1>handed pitching as well. So far in the year, has

0:01:15.080 --> 0:01:17.200
<v Speaker 1>already got a home run, hitting five hundred to start

0:01:17.200 --> 0:01:18.920
<v Speaker 1>the season. And if you go back and look at

0:01:18.920 --> 0:01:21.800
<v Speaker 1>the minor league track record of terrang pretty good. In

0:01:21.840 --> 0:01:24.000
<v Speaker 1>Triple A last year, he had two eighty six sole

0:01:24.080 --> 0:01:26.559
<v Speaker 1>thirty four bases in one hundred and thirty one games,

0:01:26.680 --> 0:01:29.960
<v Speaker 1>which could make Bryce Terraan quite the roto asset. The

0:01:30.000 --> 0:01:32.400
<v Speaker 1>slugging percentagers is four to twelve. He did it thirteen

0:01:32.400 --> 0:01:35.520
<v Speaker 1>home runs, so the pop isn't quite enormous. However, this

0:01:35.560 --> 0:01:37.400
<v Speaker 1>is a guy with a three to sixty OVP last

0:01:37.440 --> 0:01:39.960
<v Speaker 1>year in Triple A. Will he play every day? That's

0:01:40.000 --> 0:01:42.600
<v Speaker 1>a question mark, but the upside is there, especially in

0:01:42.600 --> 0:01:45.840
<v Speaker 1>formats at value stolen bases in any head to head

0:01:45.880 --> 0:01:49.560
<v Speaker 1>or season long rodo leagues. Let's stay in Milwaukee for

0:01:49.600 --> 0:01:51.960
<v Speaker 1>the second guy on this week's listen. That's Brian Anderson,

0:01:52.000 --> 0:01:56.160
<v Speaker 1>third baseman outfielder for the Miami Marlins. Now, Brian Anderson

0:01:56.200 --> 0:01:58.120
<v Speaker 1>is an interesting case because he is just twenty nine

0:01:58.200 --> 0:02:00.920
<v Speaker 1>years old and he is in his prime. Last time

0:02:00.960 --> 0:02:03.280
<v Speaker 1>that he had every day at bats for the Marlins,

0:02:03.560 --> 0:02:06.360
<v Speaker 1>Brian Anderson did put up a twenty home run season

0:02:06.400 --> 0:02:07.480
<v Speaker 1>for the Fish and he.

0:02:07.440 --> 0:02:09.000
<v Speaker 2>Also at two sixty that year.

0:02:09.360 --> 0:02:11.560
<v Speaker 1>So far, over his first five games, he's got three

0:02:11.600 --> 0:02:13.920
<v Speaker 1>home runs and ten RBI, hitting five hundred.

0:02:14.280 --> 0:02:16.680
<v Speaker 2>Now, that's not going to sustain. We all know that.

0:02:16.840 --> 0:02:20.600
<v Speaker 1>However, it does bear witness the fact that this move

0:02:20.639 --> 0:02:24.560
<v Speaker 1>from Miami to Milwaukee is an enormous jump in terms

0:02:24.560 --> 0:02:27.880
<v Speaker 1>of ballpark factor on Anderson's side. We saw what it

0:02:27.880 --> 0:02:30.720
<v Speaker 1>did for Rowdy Teles and Willie Adamas the last few years,

0:02:30.960 --> 0:02:33.120
<v Speaker 1>and Brian Anderson could be that guy. So, although he

0:02:33.200 --> 0:02:36.239
<v Speaker 1>has rostered roughly right now in just twenty five percent

0:02:36.280 --> 0:02:38.640
<v Speaker 1>of leagues, he might hang on this waiver wire a

0:02:38.639 --> 0:02:41.359
<v Speaker 1>little longer than he should because people just kind of

0:02:41.440 --> 0:02:43.720
<v Speaker 1>roll their eyes and say, well, it's just Brian Anderson.

0:02:44.000 --> 0:02:45.800
<v Speaker 1>But this could be a different version in a different

0:02:45.840 --> 0:02:49.000
<v Speaker 1>place and could be a far better long term fantasy asset,

0:02:49.160 --> 0:02:52.200
<v Speaker 1>especially considering third base is a tough position to fill.

0:02:52.400 --> 0:02:56.200
<v Speaker 1>Number three James Outman, outfielder for the Los Angeles Dodgers.

0:02:56.240 --> 0:02:58.919
<v Speaker 2>Now, outfield is a crowded location.

0:02:58.760 --> 0:03:02.160
<v Speaker 1>For Los Angeles right now, but James Outman has certainly

0:03:02.200 --> 0:03:04.880
<v Speaker 1>asserted himself well in the early going over his first

0:03:04.919 --> 0:03:08.000
<v Speaker 1>six games, a home run, five RBI and a steel

0:03:08.040 --> 0:03:09.880
<v Speaker 1>hitting two eighty six over.

0:03:09.680 --> 0:03:10.960
<v Speaker 2>Those fourteen at bats.

0:03:11.000 --> 0:03:13.400
<v Speaker 1>He had two triples the other day as well, and

0:03:13.440 --> 0:03:16.440
<v Speaker 1>Alvin certainly looks like a versatile player who could really

0:03:16.480 --> 0:03:20.360
<v Speaker 1>help give an injection to this Los Angeles Dodgers lineup.

0:03:20.560 --> 0:03:22.920
<v Speaker 1>He is rostered already in sixty percent of leagues, but

0:03:23.240 --> 0:03:25.519
<v Speaker 1>that means he's available still in forty So I would

0:03:25.520 --> 0:03:27.920
<v Speaker 1>add him right now and hope that James Outman continues

0:03:28.200 --> 0:03:30.600
<v Speaker 1>to carve out at bats because this twenty five year

0:03:30.600 --> 0:03:34.400
<v Speaker 1>old prospect could have an opportunity to make major Fantasy contributions.

0:03:34.560 --> 0:03:36.880
<v Speaker 1>And we all know outfield is always tough to find,

0:03:37.080 --> 0:03:38.720
<v Speaker 1>so Altman would be a good one if he's still

0:03:38.720 --> 0:03:40.200
<v Speaker 1>floating around your waiver wire.

0:03:40.400 --> 0:03:45.040
<v Speaker 2>To add number four Twins outfielder Trevor Larnick. Now, I

0:03:45.120 --> 0:03:46.480
<v Speaker 2>have been a big.

0:03:46.240 --> 0:03:49.720
<v Speaker 1>Supporter of Trevor Larnick. Throughout his minor league career and

0:03:49.920 --> 0:03:52.480
<v Speaker 1>so far in the major league level, the production has

0:03:52.480 --> 0:03:55.200
<v Speaker 1>been sporadic, but right now there's a need for Trevor

0:03:55.280 --> 0:03:57.960
<v Speaker 1>Larnick to be in the middle of this order. We've

0:03:58.000 --> 0:04:01.120
<v Speaker 1>all heard about Alex Kiroloff every single year, but injuries

0:04:01.160 --> 0:04:02.960
<v Speaker 1>always seem to take him out of this equation, and

0:04:03.040 --> 0:04:07.600
<v Speaker 1>Larnick so far has been the guy slowly making ways

0:04:07.680 --> 0:04:11.600
<v Speaker 1>for the Twins. He's always delivered good time exit velocities.

0:04:11.640 --> 0:04:14.400
<v Speaker 1>He's always had some good played appearances, and now it

0:04:14.440 --> 0:04:16.520
<v Speaker 1>seems like the strong spring that saw him hit three

0:04:16.520 --> 0:04:19.839
<v Speaker 1>point fifty with four home runs and starting to carry over.

0:04:20.240 --> 0:04:22.560
<v Speaker 1>As long as he can keep that strikeout rate down,

0:04:22.640 --> 0:04:25.080
<v Speaker 1>Trevor Larna could be a huge asset in fantasy leagues.

0:04:25.360 --> 0:04:27.200
<v Speaker 1>So far, over his first five games, he's at in

0:04:27.200 --> 0:04:29.720
<v Speaker 1>four to twenty one with a homer, and he's also

0:04:29.800 --> 0:04:33.080
<v Speaker 1>got four walks to go along in those five games.

0:04:33.160 --> 0:04:35.640
<v Speaker 1>That's a big deal. That means he's taking better at

0:04:35.680 --> 0:04:37.719
<v Speaker 1>bats and seeing the ball better. As long as that

0:04:37.800 --> 0:04:40.880
<v Speaker 1>walk rate holes and the strikeout rate doesn't increase too much,

0:04:41.120 --> 0:04:43.240
<v Speaker 1>Trevor Larna could be a player who's finally at the

0:04:43.279 --> 0:04:46.440
<v Speaker 1>age of twenty six, starting to realize his potential and

0:04:46.520 --> 0:04:49.479
<v Speaker 1>would be an everyday player for the Twins and your

0:04:49.560 --> 0:04:53.440
<v Speaker 1>fantasy roster. And lastly, you say Kakuchi Toronto Blue Jay's

0:04:53.440 --> 0:04:56.080
<v Speaker 1>starting pitcher, and he also qualifies that RP in some

0:04:56.279 --> 0:04:59.599
<v Speaker 1>leagues as well. Kakuchi right now is rostered in just

0:04:59.640 --> 0:05:03.040
<v Speaker 1>fifty six percent of leagues. And I know the first

0:05:03.040 --> 0:05:05.400
<v Speaker 1>start really didn't blow the doors off anybody against the

0:05:05.440 --> 0:05:07.839
<v Speaker 1>Kansas City Royals, but he did go five strong innings.

0:05:07.960 --> 0:05:09.880
<v Speaker 1>He only struck out two batters, so people are kind

0:05:09.880 --> 0:05:12.200
<v Speaker 1>of rolling their eyes there, But I think Kakuchi could

0:05:12.240 --> 0:05:14.159
<v Speaker 1>really contribute if you look at what he did this spring,

0:05:14.680 --> 0:05:16.800
<v Speaker 1>thirty one k's in twenty and two thirds innings.

0:05:17.120 --> 0:05:17.839
<v Speaker 2>That was huge.

0:05:17.880 --> 0:05:21.640
<v Speaker 1>Plus the velocity is up by almost one and a

0:05:21.720 --> 0:05:24.599
<v Speaker 1>half miles per hour on the fastball. That's a good thing.

0:05:24.960 --> 0:05:27.640
<v Speaker 1>It means he's healthy. It means that change up also

0:05:28.080 --> 0:05:30.480
<v Speaker 1>will work better when that velocity is a little higher.

0:05:30.560 --> 0:05:32.160
<v Speaker 2>So Kakuchi pitches for a.

0:05:32.120 --> 0:05:35.120
<v Speaker 1>Good team with a good offense, had a pretty good defense.

0:05:35.480 --> 0:05:37.120
<v Speaker 1>This could be a guy that could continue to pile

0:05:37.200 --> 0:05:40.400
<v Speaker 1>up wins. And I think there's a better strikeout rate

0:05:40.440 --> 0:05:43.400
<v Speaker 1>to be had. So although the first start wasn't mind blowing,

0:05:43.880 --> 0:05:46.040
<v Speaker 1>take it as an opportunity to pick up some starting

0:05:46.040 --> 0:05:49.520
<v Speaker 1>pitching depth with Kokuchi who could provide solid returns for

0:05:49.560 --> 0:05:52.080
<v Speaker 1>the months ahead. So there you have it, everybody, those

0:05:52.120 --> 0:05:53.880
<v Speaker 1>are the five guys that I want to add this week.

0:05:53.920 --> 0:05:55.600
<v Speaker 1>Who are some of the names that you want to add?

0:05:55.600 --> 0:05:57.719

0:05:57.760 --> 0:06:00.800
