But first, real quick, 0:03:43.360 --> 0:03:45.200 I want to hammer out some of these headlines Welsh, 0:03:45.280 --> 0:03:48.800 because a lot of stuff happened this weekend. When the 0:03:48.840 --> 0:03:51.560 last week left, uh de gram was, well we're gonna 0:03:51.560 --> 0:03:54.320 get it a Marion. See well now we see he's 0:03:54.360 --> 0:03:57.520 gonna be out for a quote significant amount of time 0:03:57.680 --> 0:04:01.080 end quote. This stinks. It's terrible, it's horrible. I hate everything. 0:04:01.880 --> 0:04:03.520 So Welsh, where did you have to knock him down 0:04:03.520 --> 0:04:05.920 in your ranking? So if anyone's drafted or tomorrow. 0:04:06.160 --> 0:04:09.000 Oh, I plummeted him. I mean I put him down 0:04:09.040 --> 0:04:11.280 into the I'm probably not far enough to be honest 0:04:11.320 --> 0:04:13.200 with you. I put him down into the one fifties. 0:04:14.040 --> 0:04:17.080 It's kind of like a clump where I put Lancelain. 0:04:17.200 --> 0:04:21.039 We'll talk about Flirty had kind of been over there, 0:04:21.320 --> 0:04:23.560 Sale had kind of been over there. I kind of 0:04:23.560 --> 0:04:25.839 found this happy spot after the one fifties if you 0:04:25.920 --> 0:04:28.720 wanted to take an opportunity to take him, but it's brutal. 0:04:28.760 --> 0:04:30.840 I lost him in God, where did I take him? 0:04:30.839 --> 0:04:34.000 I know I took him in tout done, and I 0:04:34.040 --> 0:04:36.120 think I might have gotten him in one other spot. 0:04:36.160 --> 0:04:38.320 I mean I was obviously people were doing a wellness 0:04:38.400 --> 0:04:40.279 check on me when he got hurt, because I was 0:04:40.360 --> 0:04:44.000 defending the whole time. Ads. Screw the injury stuff. He's 0:04:44.040 --> 0:04:46.560 the best pitcher, he's electric. All of a sudden, he's 0:04:46.600 --> 0:04:50.720 going two overall in main events over an NFBC, and 0:04:50.760 --> 0:04:54.200 then exactly the problem with him came up, and I'm 0:04:54.200 --> 0:04:56.520 well aware, like I'm holding my breath because it's the 0:04:56.520 --> 0:04:58.960 same stuff I do with Byron Buxton. I'm like, don't 0:04:58.960 --> 0:05:01.520 even worry about it. Go with the talent. And these 0:05:01.560 --> 0:05:02.920 guys continuously get hurt. 0:05:02.920 --> 0:05:03.480 It's brutal. 0:05:03.800 --> 0:05:07.279 He's I'm not interested. I'll tell you one thing. Back 0:05:07.320 --> 0:05:10.799 in the day, I really really was interested in buying 0:05:10.800 --> 0:05:13.279 these injured guys for a playoff run. In head to 0:05:13.320 --> 0:05:18.599 head the only format I'm really interested in reaching for. 0:05:18.960 --> 0:05:21.479 I'll say, all these guys the Tatis, and I'm saying 0:05:21.560 --> 0:05:25.360 reaching and having a pay significant price, right Tatis Junior 0:05:25.600 --> 0:05:28.680 or de gram is in head to head simply because 0:05:29.320 --> 0:05:31.520 I can get them full strength for the back half 0:05:31.560 --> 0:05:33.360 of the year in a playoff run, and that gives 0:05:33.440 --> 0:05:36.200 me an advantage. And that is a strategy. But I 0:05:36.240 --> 0:05:38.400 know some can make excuses in rodo. 0:05:38.960 --> 0:05:39.560 I still just. 0:05:39.480 --> 0:05:42.280 Don't want to do it. And points it's an it's 0:05:42.480 --> 0:05:44.440 it's a no go. It's an absolute no go. I'm 0:05:44.440 --> 0:05:47.720 not gonna eat no points for a significant price for 0:05:48.040 --> 0:05:50.080 you know, a month or six weeks or whatever it is. 0:05:50.160 --> 0:05:53.920 So I pushed him down. He's going post one twenty five. 0:05:53.960 --> 0:05:56.479 I had like three drafts. I did four drafts this weekend, 0:05:56.720 --> 0:05:59.679 and he never went above I think one twenty five 0:05:59.760 --> 0:06:03.200 in deeper leagues, So once you get into that one 0:06:03.279 --> 0:06:05.680 twenty ish range, you could start considering, but I wouldn't 0:06:05.680 --> 0:06:06.240 do it before. 0:06:07.279 --> 0:06:09.480 Yeah, lance Lynn, who was gonna miss a month with 0:06:09.560 --> 0:06:14.320 a knee surgery. He's going, Look, I'm still I'm more 0:06:14.360 --> 0:06:15.800 apt to take lance Lynn than I am to Grom. 0:06:16.080 --> 0:06:19.040 I drafted him as he got hurt. I literally drafted 0:06:19.120 --> 0:06:22.719 him as he got hurt in a really big I 0:06:22.720 --> 0:06:24.880 think it was our Roto league or in this league, 0:06:24.960 --> 0:06:27.800 Roto league, with like my fourth pick. It's it was 0:06:27.800 --> 0:06:30.320 a sixteen team league, and I took him, and then 0:06:30.440 --> 0:06:32.440 minutes later I saw the injury and I was like, 0:06:32.600 --> 0:06:34.800 oh my god. But to your point, it's not in 0:06:34.880 --> 0:06:35.279 the same. 0:06:36.800 --> 0:06:39.080 Andrew Luck retired a couple of hours. 0:06:39.320 --> 0:06:41.719 Oh yeah, I didn't that. Yeah, I think I remember 0:06:41.760 --> 0:06:42.200 that happened. 0:06:42.240 --> 0:06:44.479 I remember that, and I lost my mind on Twitter. 0:06:45.000 --> 0:06:47.800 Yeah, and then you still like win that league that year? 0:06:47.920 --> 0:06:50.760 Wasn't the one you won? Yeah, that was a crazy one. 0:06:51.120 --> 0:06:53.200 What was the quarter I mean, I'll say, well, continue 0:06:53.240 --> 0:06:55.320 you get like a great quarterback you picked up off 0:06:55.360 --> 0:06:55.760 the wire. 0:06:57.279 --> 0:06:59.400 I believe. So, yeah, I think I magical. I'm trying 0:06:59.400 --> 0:07:00.920 to remember who that was. I have to go back, 0:07:00.960 --> 0:07:02.520 but this is the Baseball Show, so nobody cares. 0:07:02.600 --> 0:07:05.000 Yay. Yeah, but to the same point though, that you 0:07:05.040 --> 0:07:05.600 can come by. 0:07:05.680 --> 0:07:08.960 So it's like it's like lance Lynn, it's Bassett, it's Rodin. 0:07:09.120 --> 0:07:11.040 Like that to me is kind of where I live. 0:07:11.160 --> 0:07:14.280 I know I'd rather have them hands down, Yeah, I 0:07:14.280 --> 0:07:15.040 have Lynn lower. 0:07:15.880 --> 0:07:17.760 It's in that it's in that universe at least for 0:07:17.800 --> 0:07:21.200 me right now, like Zach Gallen or Lance Lynn. I 0:07:21.240 --> 0:07:22.360 kind of want the guy in the White Sox. 0:07:22.440 --> 0:07:27.120 I'll I probably I probably go Gallon still, but it's close. 0:07:27.160 --> 0:07:30.840 It's in that range. Again. It comes back to what 0:07:31.000 --> 0:07:33.360 are you like? What league format? Okay, so here's one. 0:07:33.560 --> 0:07:36.640 Let me add this. I was thinking in a bigger 0:07:36.680 --> 0:07:39.840 league format of fifteen, I've been doing sixteen league drafts. 0:07:40.000 --> 0:07:42.520 If I'm in a ten team league, I'm actually more 0:07:42.680 --> 0:07:45.760 likely to take these guys. I'm more likely to reach 0:07:45.840 --> 0:07:49.720 and take Tatis, Lynn and to Gram because the pool 0:07:49.720 --> 0:07:52.840 to replace them with is so much better and the 0:07:52.920 --> 0:07:55.200 advantage you get, because that's a hard part about ten 0:07:55.280 --> 0:07:59.080 sometimes is getting an advantage over other players. I actually 0:07:59.160 --> 0:08:01.840 would bump them up to try to get them, assuming 0:08:01.840 --> 0:08:04.240 you got il spots. Maybe not all of them, but 0:08:04.320 --> 0:08:07.240 I would draft those guys higher than what the consensus 0:08:07.240 --> 0:08:09.880 thought process is right now, which to gram post one 0:08:09.960 --> 0:08:12.760 twenty lynn maybe around one hundred, and I've seen tattoos 0:08:12.840 --> 0:08:16.640 floating around like ninety to one hundred. I'd reach up 0:08:16.640 --> 0:08:17.960 for them in a ten man league. 0:08:18.480 --> 0:08:20.640 Yeah, I actually took Tatis in the Black Book Challenge 0:08:20.640 --> 0:08:22.160 that we're running on fan tracks. I took him the 0:08:22.280 --> 0:08:26.720 ninth round. And it's only shortstop, so that also makes 0:08:26.760 --> 0:08:28.440 it easier. It's a twelve team league and you only 0:08:28.440 --> 0:08:30.400 have a shortstop. So I'm like, look, if you're gonna 0:08:30.400 --> 0:08:32.160 give me tattos and let me put him with Sodo 0:08:32.240 --> 0:08:34.160 and all these pictures I drafted, I'm gonna go ahead 0:08:34.160 --> 0:08:35.160 and do that until yeah. 0:08:35.040 --> 0:08:37.440 Risk and no middle. So this so shortstop was probably 0:08:37.520 --> 0:08:39.160 you probably were able to get your boy Willie Domains 0:08:39.240 --> 0:08:40.280 or something to replace him. 0:08:40.320 --> 0:08:42.600 I didn't get him. Uh, I've tried to get who 0:08:42.679 --> 0:08:44.200 I ended up getting in that one. I'll have to 0:08:44.200 --> 0:08:47.360 go look at the roster real quick. But oh there's 0:08:47.360 --> 0:08:49.640 that little noise. Oh it's a magical noise. I've just 0:08:49.720 --> 0:08:51.040 opened up my team. 0:08:51.280 --> 0:08:51.600 Uh. 0:08:51.640 --> 0:08:54.720 The other shorts up I ended up getting was Claybor Taurus. 0:08:54.720 --> 0:08:57.480 So that's fine, that's a good knowledge that. Yeah, what 0:08:57.520 --> 0:08:59.800 are you gonna do. But once again I was able 0:08:59.800 --> 0:09:03.800 to get at Verlander, Wainwright, Musgrove, Peralta Giolito as a 0:09:03.800 --> 0:09:07.199 pitching staff, and basically, by the time it's all done, 0:09:07.240 --> 0:09:09.719 I still got Austin Riley. I've got Fernando Tatis and 0:09:09.800 --> 0:09:12.400 Jan Soto to anchor that offense. So that would be 0:09:12.880 --> 0:09:15.320 that would be the ideal situation there if Tatis comes 0:09:15.320 --> 0:09:17.960 back healthy. But you're right, you know the format you're 0:09:17.960 --> 0:09:19.920 playing in, know the structure you're playing in, and know 0:09:19.960 --> 0:09:23.120 how aggressive you can be or how much risk you 0:09:23.160 --> 0:09:25.680 can take on. Because I agree with you, some guys 0:09:25.720 --> 0:09:27.800 are not worth the risk. And the deeper the format, 0:09:28.080 --> 0:09:30.960 the more challenging that risk becomes, because the replacement value sucks. 0:09:30.960 --> 0:09:33.800 Can we talk about something positive? Sure, Bobby with Junior 0:09:33.920 --> 0:09:36.640 is gonna play opening day, Julio Rodriguez is gonna play 0:09:36.679 --> 0:09:39.640 opening day. Welsh, I'm as giddy as a little school 0:09:39.640 --> 0:09:41.800 girl about this. I love it. I'm so excited we're 0:09:41.800 --> 0:09:46.040 actually gonna get great prospects starting opening day. Hooray for 0:09:46.080 --> 0:09:47.319 the new cbact. 0:09:47.360 --> 0:09:50.120 I gotta tell you so. I mean, I've been calling 0:09:50.160 --> 0:09:52.160 the Bobby wit one forever, so this wasn't a big 0:09:52.160 --> 0:09:54.920 surprise to me. I'm just happy it happened. You know, 0:09:55.040 --> 0:09:56.800 go listen to betting pros if you want to hear 0:09:56.840 --> 0:09:59.840 what our Rookie of the Year bet picks are. But 0:10:00.080 --> 0:10:02.920 the Julio one had a really weird ride. So follow 0:10:03.000 --> 0:10:07.680 me here on what was this? I guess Sunday I 0:10:07.760 --> 0:10:10.160 had done a show with James Anderson the day before, 0:10:10.400 --> 0:10:12.920 roto Wire, who's a big Julio guy, and he had 0:10:12.960 --> 0:10:15.400 draftedly w insanely high I think in the main event. 0:10:15.880 --> 0:10:19.079 And then all of a sudden, I get this text 0:10:19.760 --> 0:10:22.240 of a kind of what I'm trying to think of. 0:10:22.280 --> 0:10:24.480 What the word is one of those Instagram posts that's 0:10:24.520 --> 0:10:27.360 like it's like an inspirational Instagram post. It's like a 0:10:27.480 --> 0:10:30.720 lady looking off into the distance and it's like things 0:10:30.880 --> 0:10:33.160 happen for a reason and they make us better. And 0:10:33.160 --> 0:10:36.560 that Instagram post came from Julio Rodriguez, like it was 0:10:36.600 --> 0:10:39.600 like an adversity makes us better. And we were like, 0:10:39.800 --> 0:10:42.400 uh oh. And then a friend of mine was at 0:10:42.440 --> 0:10:46.800 Mariners camp at the same time and said Julio visibly 0:10:46.840 --> 0:10:50.800 did not seem in a very great mood this tweet 0:10:51.320 --> 0:10:53.760 or this Instagram posts, and we all were like, oh no, 0:10:54.760 --> 0:10:57.079 the Mariners are going to send him down, Like there 0:10:57.160 --> 0:10:59.360 was this big thought process. People were tweeting about it, 0:10:59.600 --> 0:11:02.880 this is a gonna happen, and then beautiful magical news 0:11:02.880 --> 0:11:05.920 on Monday they did not. Scott Service did the right thing. 0:11:06.000 --> 0:11:08.960 The team did the right thing, and Julio Rodriguez breaking 0:11:09.080 --> 0:11:13.440 camp with a sick outfield of count A Coulio and 0:11:13.480 --> 0:11:17.120 Winker with Mitch Haniger as at eh, that team is sick. 0:11:17.360 --> 0:11:21.760 Juli Rodriguez is exciting, and I if there's anything I 0:11:21.760 --> 0:11:24.320 could tune in for, I hope the Mariners and Royals 0:11:24.320 --> 0:11:26.040 are not playing at the exact same time, so I 0:11:26.040 --> 0:11:28.680 go watch the debuts of both. I as a prospect 0:11:28.720 --> 0:11:32.840 person am elated, and both really important fantasy assets for 0:11:32.880 --> 0:11:33.240 this year. 0:11:34.280 --> 0:11:37.160 Yeah, very important, guys. Also, we have the Shamanya trade too, 0:11:37.240 --> 0:11:40.200 so Oakland continues the jettison. Guys. The impact of the 0:11:40.240 --> 0:11:43.320 Mania trade for you moving to the Padres, what are 0:11:43.320 --> 0:11:45.559 your thoughts on that certainly helps with win potential, you 0:11:45.559 --> 0:11:48.760 would imagine, right, Yeah, I mean putting out the rotation. 0:11:48.840 --> 0:11:50.600 I also think it's kind of a death blow to 0:11:50.600 --> 0:11:53.640 everybody that was trying to make Mackenzie gore thing this 0:11:53.760 --> 0:11:57.440 year and the starting rotation yeah, well, I mean I 0:11:57.559 --> 0:12:00.480 just not I never was. They got a lot of 0:12:00.679 --> 0:12:02.880 armed If they wanted to go six man rotation, I 0:12:02.960 --> 0:12:05.560 think they could do that. I think we're still waiting 0:12:05.559 --> 0:12:08.760 in the wings for another trade. You know, there's been 0:12:08.800 --> 0:12:14.079 this rumored Dominic Smith Hosmer trade that's out there. Paddock 0:12:14.080 --> 0:12:17.720 has been floated around. I think they've given themselves more flexibility. 0:12:17.960 --> 0:12:21.160 Seam and I are a great starter. Bat Projections absolutely 0:12:21.200 --> 0:12:24.400 loved him this year, very sneaky. I think from a 0:12:24.440 --> 0:12:28.720 depth perspective, it's the best rotation maybe all five, you know, 0:12:28.720 --> 0:12:31.480 because like the Dodgers are ridiculous, and there's a couple 0:12:31.480 --> 0:12:33.959 of other teams that have absolutely ridiculous. But to all five, 0:12:34.200 --> 0:12:36.680 it's really good depth and they can go further. But 0:12:36.720 --> 0:12:42.000 the fantasy application is Manaiah up Mackenziegre down right now. 0:12:42.920 --> 0:12:46.120 All right, So that's the latest news and notes also 0:12:46.120 --> 0:12:48.320 had a good start from Noah Cindergard by the way, 0:12:49.200 --> 0:12:57.000 seven strikeouts at five innings. So Halla, that's good. Kalaah haala. 0:12:57.360 --> 0:13:00.120 I think I did. And we just talked about we 0:13:00.160 --> 0:13:01.719 just did a betting pro show together. So if you're 0:13:01.720 --> 0:13:04.440 looking to make some wagers. Go over to and listen 0:13:04.480 --> 0:13:06.840 to the Betting Pros podcast or go to YouTube channel 0:13:07.200 --> 0:13:09.319 for Betting Pros. Welsh and I just went through all 0:13:09.400 --> 0:13:11.319 the you know, win totals. We like the futures and 0:13:11.360 --> 0:13:13.200 all these things. And one of the teams I thought 0:13:13.240 --> 0:13:15.079 had a shot at a division really is the Angels. 0:13:15.080 --> 0:13:18.520 If they get Cyindergart right, if Otani stays healthy, Sandobal 0:13:18.679 --> 0:13:21.640 pitches up to his you know abilities, and then all 0:13:21.679 --> 0:13:23.240 of a sudden, the Angels could be interesting. So this 0:13:23.280 --> 0:13:26.079 is good news that for that investment. So go check 0:13:26.120 --> 0:13:27.800 that out on our Betting pro sides and really good 0:13:27.800 --> 0:13:30.560 stuff there. So, Welsh, we've each made a list here 0:13:30.960 --> 0:13:34.559 of ten league winners this year twice. Let's start with yours. 0:13:34.640 --> 0:13:38.040 I've picked guys from eighty two to three ten right now. 0:13:38.080 --> 0:13:41.520 In terms of ADP, I've tried to stick outside of 0:13:41.559 --> 0:13:43.920 the top seventy five. You have a couple of guys 0:13:43.920 --> 0:13:46.000 inside of the seventy five. So, Welsh, why don't you 0:13:46.720 --> 0:13:48.760 kick things off here with guys who could be potential 0:13:48.840 --> 0:13:51.840 league winners in twenty twenty two fantasy baseball leagues. 0:13:51.960 --> 0:13:54.240 Yeah, I've got guys that are outside the top two hundred. 0:13:54.320 --> 0:13:57.240 I've got some inside the top one hundred because I 0:13:57.240 --> 0:14:02.079 think league winners are not relegated to final last picks. 0:14:02.120 --> 0:14:04.280 I think that's kind of the assumption. There are league 0:14:04.320 --> 0:14:06.880 winners in the fourth round, there are league winners in 0:14:06.920 --> 0:14:09.760 the eighth round. There's absolutely league winners in the fifteenth round. 0:14:10.320 --> 0:14:14.000 And I've talked about this guy at nauseam. The reason 0:14:14.240 --> 0:14:17.200 that a top fifty guy can be a league winner 0:14:17.360 --> 0:14:19.320 is when they can go from you getting them in 0:14:19.360 --> 0:14:21.920 the fourth round and then producing first round talent. And 0:14:21.960 --> 0:14:26.400 that is why Byron Buxton is a league winner this year. 0:14:26.440 --> 0:14:28.240 I know you have him as a bust. I do not. 0:14:28.880 --> 0:14:32.480 He looks phenomenal in the spring forty seven on the consensus. 0:14:32.520 --> 0:14:34.440 I hope I do too. And if I am, he's 0:14:34.480 --> 0:14:38.000 a league winner, that you got first round talent in 0:14:38.040 --> 0:14:41.480 the fourth or fifth round, and top it off that 0:14:41.480 --> 0:14:43.800 there's all these like kind of injured guys spattered around. 0:14:43.800 --> 0:14:45.600 Not that you want to take the risk, but you know, 0:14:45.600 --> 0:14:47.360 what if you got Buckston and what if you got 0:14:47.400 --> 0:14:50.720 like Tatis way later a ten man league, you could 0:14:50.880 --> 0:14:54.040 you know, you could run ramp shot there where you 0:14:54.080 --> 0:14:57.040 get Buckston, you could have Tatis you just did. 0:14:57.080 --> 0:14:59.600 I I haven't had a Welsh in a time where 0:14:59.640 --> 0:15:01.480 you make Welsh has a thing, and I've been doing 0:15:01.640 --> 0:15:03.000 shows a Welsh for like ten years. 0:15:03.040 --> 0:15:05.280 I'm congested and I was trying to hold myself there 0:15:05.320 --> 0:15:06.280 and then I was like, I'm gonna say that. 0:15:06.320 --> 0:15:08.440 I almost let you go on it. But then you Yeah, 0:15:08.480 --> 0:15:10.600 you did it twice and you made two different ones. 0:15:10.800 --> 0:15:14.520 It's run rough shot. What was he likes to, Yeah, 0:15:14.520 --> 0:15:15.640 you run rough shot. I don't know. 0:15:15.760 --> 0:15:19.320 Carl Ramrod, Carl Rahmro. I think I was Carmen Ramrock Ramrod. 0:15:19.480 --> 0:15:21.360 I don't know what it is. But she likes to 0:15:21.400 --> 0:15:22.840 create new sayings. 0:15:22.480 --> 0:15:23.160 That don't I do. 0:15:23.200 --> 0:15:26.280 It's called the Welshisms, and he puts them together and 0:15:26.280 --> 0:15:28.400 creates a new one, like instead of what I've turned 0:15:28.400 --> 0:15:29.640 remember one of the classic ones? 0:15:29.880 --> 0:15:31.440 No, I know there's some good ones. Someone. We should 0:15:31.480 --> 0:15:33.600 have a we should have a we really should do 0:15:33.680 --> 0:15:35.680 is we should have like a journal of them? We 0:15:35.680 --> 0:15:37.680 should have Yeah, we should have the Welshism book. It's 0:15:37.720 --> 0:15:40.520 like baseball Ism but Welshism. And we should be tabbing 0:15:40.560 --> 0:15:42.480 out all the fake words that I say and then 0:15:42.520 --> 0:15:44.960 we'll just put them together like a dictionary. You know, 0:15:45.440 --> 0:15:46.840 and we could put those together at the end of 0:15:46.880 --> 0:15:50.560 the year. But regardless of the point Buxton in a 0:15:50.640 --> 0:15:53.080 ten man league, that is the league winner that you 0:15:53.080 --> 0:15:55.120 could add on to other pieces, doesn't matter what format 0:15:55.200 --> 0:15:58.320 it is. Bucks into forty seven, probably no chakra buy 0:15:58.360 --> 0:16:01.360 it for anybody that I said that first run talent 0:16:01.920 --> 0:16:03.160 almost at fifty. 0:16:03.560 --> 0:16:05.280 Well, it's no shocker for people to hear me talk 0:16:05.280 --> 0:16:08.920 about Justin Verlander eighty two. Overall, there's not a lot 0:16:08.960 --> 0:16:10.720 of guys you got a draft around eighty two that 0:16:10.800 --> 0:16:12.840 could be the best picture you draft in your league, 0:16:13.280 --> 0:16:16.000 and he could absolutely contend for a cy Young. We 0:16:16.120 --> 0:16:17.880 just talked about it. I think it was like what 0:16:17.920 --> 0:16:19.960 twenty two to one or something like that. I've already 0:16:19.960 --> 0:16:21.800 made the investment in him at cy Young because I 0:16:21.880 --> 0:16:24.040 like him as a long shot. A couple of years ago, 0:16:24.240 --> 0:16:26.320 we're talking about a guy striking out three hundred guys, 0:16:26.320 --> 0:16:28.360 two hundred and ninety guys. We're talking about a guy 0:16:28.360 --> 0:16:32.000 who's era was ridiculously good, the whip was ridiculously good. 0:16:32.040 --> 0:16:34.920 He's always limited the walks. He is very far removed 0:16:34.920 --> 0:16:37.480 from Tommy John. I understand he's been away a little bit, 0:16:37.920 --> 0:16:40.360 but have we not learned that the layoffs sometimes for guys, 0:16:40.440 --> 0:16:44.480 especially the older ones, are good. Adam Wainwright, Buster Posey, 0:16:44.600 --> 0:16:46.440 have we watched some of these older guys have a 0:16:46.480 --> 0:16:48.600 bigger break and all of a sudden I know some 0:16:48.680 --> 0:16:51.480 of those guys had injuries too, Posey did, but still like, 0:16:52.120 --> 0:16:55.240 let's realize that this break, this longer layoff, might be 0:16:55.280 --> 0:16:57.440 a good thing for Justin Furlander. And if he gets 0:16:57.440 --> 0:17:00.160 back to that form at eighty two, this guy be 0:17:00.160 --> 0:17:03.280 a fancy ace this year and at an absolute league winner. 0:17:03.360 --> 0:17:06.119 So I would be very aggressive. And he started what 0:17:06.160 --> 0:17:08.040 at like one fifty I think we started doing shows 0:17:08.080 --> 0:17:10.119 that was at eighty two. Yeah, at the end of 0:17:10.160 --> 0:17:11.439 the day he might finish as the top ten. 0:17:11.560 --> 0:17:12.359 Arm I love this one. 0:17:12.400 --> 0:17:13.119 It's very possible. 0:17:13.160 --> 0:17:14.760 Yeah, you've got a lot of one I really like 0:17:14.840 --> 0:17:15.160 on here. 0:17:15.600 --> 0:17:17.439 Well, it's okay, we can we can agree. And I 0:17:17.480 --> 0:17:19.840 want I want Byron Buckston to be good now. I 0:17:19.920 --> 0:17:22.720 want nothing more than to sit here at the end 0:17:22.760 --> 0:17:24.720 of the year and go look at Byron bucks and go, 0:17:25.440 --> 0:17:28.919 finally it was what it was supposed to be. I 0:17:29.040 --> 0:17:31.800 just I can't do it anymore. If you can't, well, 0:17:31.800 --> 0:17:33.119 listen to many times. 0:17:33.000 --> 0:17:36.040 I've got I will tell you I think the concept 0:17:36.080 --> 0:17:39.399 of league winner. Also, I want to explain some guys 0:17:39.400 --> 0:17:41.439 that could be league winners, even if I am big 0:17:41.560 --> 0:17:45.040 or not big on them necessarily because you know everyone's 0:17:45.040 --> 0:17:47.320 going to have different opinions and you guys may sit 0:17:47.359 --> 0:17:50.280 and there's context to team construction. Perfect example is my 0:17:50.400 --> 0:17:54.160 number two otibert Amandasi is the definition of a league 0:17:54.160 --> 0:17:56.640 winner and can be a league loser. He is maybe 0:17:56.680 --> 0:18:00.119 the most volatile player in the top one hundred, but 0:18:00.680 --> 0:18:04.280 from volatility it's from bottom to top. If you are 0:18:04.320 --> 0:18:07.680 playing in a format where you can get an advantage 0:18:07.720 --> 0:18:10.679 on steels, you know, not points. But let's say it's 0:18:10.720 --> 0:18:14.119 a bigger a bigger roto league adwart Demondesse and the 0:18:14.160 --> 0:18:16.679 steals that he can have can set you completely apart. 0:18:16.760 --> 0:18:19.760 I mean he can single handedly win you that category. 0:18:20.000 --> 0:18:22.439 In a head to head perspective, he can win you 0:18:22.560 --> 0:18:25.919 weeks alone. His volatility makes him tough. But if he 0:18:26.040 --> 0:18:28.680 were to be consistent on a team that looks pretty 0:18:28.720 --> 0:18:31.920 consistent now, if he could stay healthy and consistent, Mondacy 0:18:32.560 --> 0:18:35.119 would be a league winner. Do I believe he will be? 0:18:35.440 --> 0:18:38.639 I don't know what I target him. I actually would 0:18:38.680 --> 0:18:40.800 in deeper leagues. I've been trying to target him in 0:18:40.840 --> 0:18:43.120 smaller leagues. I'm not because I think I can make 0:18:43.160 --> 0:18:45.199 up the stolen bases in other spots, and frankly, I 0:18:45.240 --> 0:18:47.879 take his teammate Wit Mayfield a little bit more. But 0:18:48.840 --> 0:18:52.199 he's the definition of a league winner. Not sure if 0:18:52.240 --> 0:18:54.680 he will be, but I think of all the guys 0:18:54.680 --> 0:18:56.800 we're going to talk about, every single player on your list, 0:18:56.800 --> 0:18:59.320 in my list, he could be the number one league 0:18:59.320 --> 0:19:01.880 winner because you are all cooled on him. He will 0:19:01.880 --> 0:19:05.919 have third and shortstop eligibility this year, which is an advantage, 0:19:06.080 --> 0:19:08.199 and he could lead the league in stolen bases. He 0:19:08.240 --> 0:19:12.240 could put up twenty homers, he could have big, big runs, 0:19:13.040 --> 0:19:15.720 and then batting average and RBI if they come into play, 0:19:16.280 --> 0:19:18.200 he would be He might be the most valuable player 0:19:18.240 --> 0:19:21.280 in fantasy. It's a possibility, but it's the big marvel 0:19:21.359 --> 0:19:23.720 what if moment of fantasy this year. So he's a 0:19:23.760 --> 0:19:24.280 league winner. 0:19:25.320 --> 0:19:27.120 He's definitely a what if. But you're right, I mean 0:19:27.119 --> 0:19:29.000 for the steals alone, he could be a huge game 0:19:29.119 --> 0:19:31.600 changer in rotal formats of any kind.

Happy spring, and now 0:21:14.520 --> 0:21:16.639 back to the action for me the second time. My 0:21:16.720 --> 0:21:20.080 list is Trevor Rodgers. Trevor Rodgers to me, it might 0:21:20.119 --> 0:21:22.840 be the next best left handed pitcher in baseball. I 0:21:22.880 --> 0:21:24.639 think he's got that kind of upside. He is at 0:21:24.680 --> 0:21:27.359 eighty eight right now, right around that Verlander times. So 0:21:27.400 --> 0:21:29.240 if you miss out on Verlander, Rodgers is a great 0:21:29.280 --> 0:21:31.520 one to get. One hundred and thirty three innings last year. 0:21:31.560 --> 0:21:33.520 I think people forgot how dominant this guy was in 0:21:33.560 --> 0:21:36.520 the first half. One hundred and fifty seven strikeouts, forty 0:21:36.520 --> 0:21:38.480 six walks, so a three to one k walk ratio 0:21:38.600 --> 0:21:40.520 something I always look for. The whip is at one 0:21:40.520 --> 0:21:42.560 point one six, the era is two to seven to one. 0:21:42.680 --> 0:21:45.080 I get it. I understand that it's a tough division, 0:21:45.600 --> 0:21:47.399 but this is the kind of left handed arm that 0:21:47.560 --> 0:21:49.880 left handed hitters want no piece of, and that tells 0:21:49.920 --> 0:21:51.760 you everything you need to know about him. They're like, nope, 0:21:51.880 --> 0:21:55.439 I'm off today. Trevor Rodgers is pitching. I'm good. I 0:21:55.480 --> 0:21:57.400 think he should be good for probably around one hundred 0:21:57.400 --> 0:21:59.480 and seventy five innings this year too, So that I 0:21:59.600 --> 0:22:02.240 like a lot about Rogers. So Rogers another league winner. 0:22:02.760 --> 0:22:05.720 I like these aces that you can draft after getting 0:22:05.720 --> 0:22:08.000 a whole bunch of offense early on and then looking 0:22:08.040 --> 0:22:11.360 for guys like Verlander Trevor Rodgers, maybe double tap those 0:22:11.359 --> 0:22:13.840 two guys and start a rotation that way. To me, 0:22:14.000 --> 0:22:16.520 that's the approach this season. Welsh, Who's number three on 0:22:16.560 --> 0:22:17.600 your list? Of league winners. 0:22:17.680 --> 0:22:19.840 All right, so we're going to continue. I've got this 0:22:19.920 --> 0:22:23.560 and one more. These are my volatility guys. My top 0:22:23.640 --> 0:22:30.040 four are volatility league winners, insane upside, huge downside, and 0:22:30.200 --> 0:22:33.640 number three is pretty obvious. Dantasy Pro's consensus right now 0:22:33.680 --> 0:22:36.320 is at ninety nine. It is Fernando Tatis Junior. Just 0:22:36.359 --> 0:22:38.400 like we talked about, I don't need to get much 0:22:38.400 --> 0:22:39.840 more into it because I think we've hit a lot 0:22:39.840 --> 0:22:42.480 of the stuff. This is a guy that if you 0:22:42.560 --> 0:22:44.479 play in a head to head format, could win you 0:22:44.520 --> 0:22:46.600 the second half. This is a guy on the rodo 0:22:46.680 --> 0:22:48.840 stats I could still put up elite numbers that are 0:22:48.880 --> 0:22:52.200 better than two or three outside of two or three 0:22:52.240 --> 0:22:55.800 at his position alone. He heals quickly. Then the rest 0:22:55.800 --> 0:22:58.000 of these guys, I'd be interested to see positionally if 0:22:58.000 --> 0:23:01.359 they do anything with him coming back. But Tatis Junior 0:23:01.920 --> 0:23:04.639 is a league winner, but he takes a lot of 0:23:04.680 --> 0:23:08.399 strategy and a lot of paying attention in your draft 0:23:08.440 --> 0:23:10.760 to make him work on your roster construction. Because I 0:23:10.800 --> 0:23:12.440 think you can get you can get a little ahead 0:23:12.440 --> 0:23:14.360 of yourself. Just be like, ooh, I'm gonna go take 0:23:14.440 --> 0:23:16.479 Tatis and I'm gonna just take him and then all 0:23:16.480 --> 0:23:19.000 of a sudden, you've really kind of screwed yourself as 0:23:19.080 --> 0:23:21.560 far as a roster construction on what you're playing, but 0:23:22.000 --> 0:23:25.480 your league format, you know, know your targets and really 0:23:25.480 --> 0:23:27.280 pay attention and you can make it work and he 0:23:27.280 --> 0:23:28.159 can win your league. 0:23:28.920 --> 0:23:30.600 Agreed to one hundred percent. I'm glad we had that 0:23:30.600 --> 0:23:32.320 conversation at the top of the show too, because I 0:23:32.320 --> 0:23:34.640 think people needed to hear that. I think that's important 0:23:34.640 --> 0:23:37.400 to understand. Yeah, you can do this. You can draft tattoos. 0:23:37.560 --> 0:23:39.639 You's gotta be smart about how you do it. Bobby 0:23:39.600 --> 0:23:42.600 Wood Junior, the next player TATIS is ninety nine ADP. 0:23:43.000 --> 0:23:45.199 Bobby with A Junior is one hundred and to me, 0:23:45.600 --> 0:23:47.400 it's all that guys out there that offer the power, 0:23:47.440 --> 0:23:50.199 speed combination, the high batting average. This guy throttled the 0:23:50.240 --> 0:23:51.520 minor leagues last year. 0:23:51.640 --> 0:23:53.240 I would have picked this one by the chance. You 0:23:53.240 --> 0:23:55.879 picked it. You're just so smart. You picked it ahead 0:23:55.880 --> 0:23:57.320 of time, and I couldn't do this. But I could 0:23:57.400 --> 0:23:58.840 not agree with this one anymore. 0:24:01.520 --> 0:24:03.439 And I have to sometimes drink a second time to 0:24:03.440 --> 0:24:05.560 get back into focus. Here on the YouTube channel, that 0:24:05.640 --> 0:24:08.760 happens is this is the beauty of live podcasting. 0:24:08.960 --> 0:24:10.520 So I wish that was a mug by the way. 0:24:10.520 --> 0:24:12.240 I wish that was like a hot tea mug and 0:24:12.280 --> 0:24:14.400 you were just like mm hmmm, Bobby Wit. 0:24:14.600 --> 0:24:17.080 Well, there might be some moments with the tea, I think, 0:24:17.280 --> 0:24:19.400 because you know we had that conversation, I switched from 0:24:19.400 --> 0:24:22.560 the coffee to the tea. So we'll see. We'll see 0:24:22.560 --> 0:24:24.919 how that goes. And leading off just spoiler alert, there 0:24:24.960 --> 0:24:28.280 might be some segments built around off, seeing off on, 0:24:28.440 --> 0:24:31.879 leading off or spilling tea. Who knows, but thanks for 0:24:31.960 --> 0:24:34.560 the heads up there. Bobby Wood Junior to me is 0:24:34.560 --> 0:24:36.320 a guy that I think is gonna just the way 0:24:36.400 --> 0:24:38.840 throttle the minor league pictures. He's gonna throw all the 0:24:38.840 --> 0:24:41.199 major league pictures. I think he's the real deal. I 0:24:41.240 --> 0:24:44.400 don't like they can't miss label because it's too much pressure. 0:24:45.000 --> 0:24:48.160 But this guys that we've seen come up and just rake, 0:24:48.520 --> 0:24:51.520 whether it be the Sodos, the Wonder Francos of the world, 0:24:51.880 --> 0:24:53.760 I think Bobby Witt's gonna come up and he's just 0:24:53.800 --> 0:24:57.119 gonna be Bobby Witt, and he might not reach the incredible, 0:24:57.160 --> 0:24:59.440 oh my god, superstar level in You're One. I don't 0:24:59.440 --> 0:25:03.800 expect that play at that return on investment Tatiste did, 0:25:04.800 --> 0:25:06.679 and he might be closed. I think he's more in 0:25:06.680 --> 0:25:08.640 that ILK than he is in the guys that come 0:25:08.680 --> 0:25:11.600 up and struggle right away. That's my that's my inkling. 0:25:11.600 --> 0:25:14.320 At least, this is not Dylan Carlson, this is not 0:25:14.520 --> 0:25:19.040 alexje He's built different, different dude. Yeah, and also the 0:25:19.040 --> 0:25:21.480 team construction really works well for him. I think the 0:25:21.520 --> 0:25:24.720 guys that are surrounded with him are really really good. 0:25:24.760 --> 0:25:26.800 He can handle the pressure. He's been doing it for 0:25:26.840 --> 0:25:29.320 a long time. He's looked fantastic out here. I was 0:25:29.359 --> 0:25:32.200 just at what I was at Royals Camp on Sunday. 0:25:32.280 --> 0:25:35.480 I stopped over there and he was doing BP with 0:25:35.560 --> 0:25:38.440 Salvey out there, and he was just crushing balls, and 0:25:38.600 --> 0:25:41.800 you know, he did get I was also at Friday night. 0:25:41.880 --> 0:25:45.200 I was at Royals and Padres and you Darvis definitely 0:25:45.240 --> 0:25:48.000 got him bundled up a couple times. And I do 0:25:48.119 --> 0:25:51.080 expect some little hurdles, but I think push comes to 0:25:51.080 --> 0:25:53.160 shove at the end of the year. This is a 0:25:53.320 --> 0:25:56.400 major Fantasy impact guy. My only problem with this one, 0:25:56.400 --> 0:25:59.560 there's literally one problem. The consensus is not caught up 0:25:59.600 --> 0:26:02.080 to what people are doing in drafts. We say one hundred. 0:26:02.680 --> 0:26:04.679 I see him going in the fifties right now. So 0:26:04.720 --> 0:26:07.159 there's a battle in there where, yeah, he went in 0:26:07.160 --> 0:26:08.800 the fifties in multiple drafts that I did. 0:26:09.680 --> 0:26:11.960 You're going to say seventies or something like that. I 0:26:11.960 --> 0:26:12.760 think he did fifties. 0:26:12.760 --> 0:26:15.080 Wow, it's fifties. So that's the battle of this one. 0:26:15.119 --> 0:26:17.400 But it is a great one, all right. 0:26:17.480 --> 0:26:19.480 So that's another one on the list here. Let's go 0:26:19.520 --> 0:26:21.359 to number four on your list. Well, should he have. 0:26:21.560 --> 0:26:25.080 Right last of my volatility, guys, Cody Bellinger. It's the 0:26:25.119 --> 0:26:27.600 most ridiculous one I could say. I have nothing else 0:26:27.640 --> 0:26:30.880 to give you, guys, because he has struggled mightily in 0:26:30.960 --> 0:26:33.960 spring training. He strikes out, he's not making great contact, 0:26:34.200 --> 0:26:36.240 He's messed around with his swing, which, by the way, 0:26:36.320 --> 0:26:38.560 is something if you're going to do it, you should 0:26:38.600 --> 0:26:41.439 do it. In spring training he's altered that a couple times. 0:26:41.680 --> 0:26:44.040 He made some I think some big changes in the 0:26:44.119 --> 0:26:47.000 off season, maybe just some routine type of stuff that 0:26:47.040 --> 0:26:49.680 I could throw out there, say behind the scenes sources. 0:26:49.960 --> 0:26:52.560 But I still believe in Cody Bellinger. I believe in 0:26:52.600 --> 0:26:55.640 the team context as well. Incredible hitters that he gets 0:26:55.680 --> 0:26:57.960 to work with, you know, you're looking for slumpbusters with 0:26:58.000 --> 0:27:00.920 these type of guys being around Mookie Bets, Trey Turner 0:27:00.960 --> 0:27:03.880 and Freddy Freeman. To me can speak wonders, and if 0:27:03.880 --> 0:27:06.719 he can't get that back together, then he is officially cooked. 0:27:07.080 --> 0:27:10.679 Maybe other people have already thrown him out. I haven't. 0:27:11.040 --> 0:27:15.720 He's risky, but it's post one hundred, post one hundred 0:27:15.840 --> 0:27:18.640 cost on Bellinger right now. And this is a guy 0:27:18.680 --> 0:27:20.960 that I still believe there's thirty five plus homers, and 0:27:21.280 --> 0:27:23.639 I believe there's a major impact bat that can be 0:27:23.760 --> 0:27:27.720 hitting between the Freddy Freeman's and the Mookie Bets. So 0:27:27.800 --> 0:27:31.520 I think again, is he a league winner? I'll make 0:27:31.560 --> 0:27:35.159 the bet. I don't know, but he checks the box 0:27:35.280 --> 0:27:38.040 of a potential league winner, Cody Bellinger outside the top 0:27:38.080 --> 0:27:38.639 one hundred. 0:27:39.320 --> 0:27:42.200 It's funny you mentioned about Bobby wits ADP being a 0:27:42.240 --> 0:27:46.120 little you know, not quite what it is in reality, right, 0:27:46.359 --> 0:27:48.480 I see the same thing, but the inverse of Cody Bellinger. 0:27:48.560 --> 0:27:50.960 I've seen him totally you know, ranked around here one hundred, 0:27:51.000 --> 0:27:52.160 and I've seen him go way later. 0:27:54.359 --> 0:27:56.639 Dude, that's so funny you said that they're the complete 0:27:56.720 --> 0:28:02.200 opposite ends, where it's just rank on fantasy pros, they're 0:28:02.200 --> 0:28:04.680 within like six of each other, five ech other four me. 0:28:04.800 --> 0:28:05.159 There you go. 0:28:05.640 --> 0:28:10.439 But they are probably in actual drafts right now going 0:28:10.520 --> 0:28:14.400 maybe eighty to ninety picks separation between the two, and 0:28:14.440 --> 0:28:17.520 that's what can separate Bobby Witt from being really high 0:28:17.520 --> 0:28:20.000 cost to like, is it going to return production to 0:28:20.119 --> 0:28:22.919 a Cody Bellinger? Of like? Is it really worth not 0:28:23.320 --> 0:28:26.280 risking to take Cody Bellinger at one thirty at this 0:28:26.440 --> 0:28:29.719 point when he absolutely has top thirty upside, he has 0:28:29.800 --> 0:28:33.360 first round potential upside. It's just how far gone are 0:28:33.400 --> 0:28:36.000 we from that spring training gave us nothing, But I'm 0:28:36.000 --> 0:28:37.400 willing to make that bet. 0:28:37.920 --> 0:28:40.560 All right, Let's see what Michael Kopek can give us 0:28:40.560 --> 0:28:43.680 at one sixty one. He qualifies at RP and SP 0:28:43.880 --> 0:28:46.240 for those leagues where we have those mandatory RP spots. 0:28:46.680 --> 0:28:49.640 Electric fastball. We all know this, easy heat. It's the 0:28:49.680 --> 0:28:51.680 thing I love when I watch Kopec. The effort level 0:28:51.720 --> 0:28:53.960 doesn't look like a max effort kind of guy. This 0:28:54.040 --> 0:28:55.360 is the time to get in on him. This is 0:28:55.400 --> 0:28:57.440 the time to be bold at one sixty one. This 0:28:57.480 --> 0:28:59.600 is another picture where some of these other pictures already 0:28:59.640 --> 0:29:02.120 dropping like flies, right de grom Lynn. We're gonna have 0:29:02.240 --> 0:29:05.320 other guys are gonna fall suit. But Kopec's that one 0:29:05.320 --> 0:29:07.560 where the eight arrow is going up for me, and 0:29:07.840 --> 0:29:10.080 he pitches for a great team. They're a good defensive team, 0:29:10.080 --> 0:29:12.120 they're good offensive team. It's a soft division for the 0:29:12.120 --> 0:29:14.360 most part. You's gonna get some really good matchups there 0:29:14.360 --> 0:29:17.720 against young offenses like the Tigers. You know, the Royals 0:29:17.760 --> 0:29:19.720 have a good offense, like Welsh pointed out. But still 0:29:19.960 --> 0:29:22.000 there's some strikeouts in there that live for sure. And 0:29:22.040 --> 0:29:23.560 I think Cope's gonna be one of these guys that 0:29:24.080 --> 0:29:26.280 is really gonna, I think, emerge onto the scene as 0:29:26.320 --> 0:29:28.080 like a star pitcher this year. I think this is 0:29:28.080 --> 0:29:30.400 the year where it happens. I think we've been teased 0:29:30.400 --> 0:29:32.320 with it last year and then this year's in the 0:29:32.360 --> 0:29:34.440 full time breakout. So give me Kopek at four. Who 0:29:34.480 --> 0:29:36.800 is your number five league winner? Welsh on your list? 0:29:36.920 --> 0:29:37.239 All right? 0:29:37.280 --> 0:29:39.960 Yeah, quicker list here a little bit more stunch on guys. 0:29:40.040 --> 0:29:42.680 We're going outside the top two hundred of consensus. And 0:29:42.720 --> 0:29:46.120 I've said this guy many times. I'm Ed Rosario two 0:29:46.200 --> 0:29:48.920 oh four on the consensus rank. Here give me Amed 0:29:48.960 --> 0:29:52.840 Rosario power speed five tool hitting. I think they've got 0:29:52.960 --> 0:29:56.000 him sloted at two in that lineup, and I think 0:29:56.080 --> 0:29:58.240 that he's a potential league winner in some formats. He 0:29:58.320 --> 0:30:01.480 qualifies it outfield in shortstop. So he's a guy tried 0:30:01.480 --> 0:30:03.840 to get everywhere, couldn't get every single spot, but I 0:30:03.840 --> 0:30:06.280 do want him everywhere. Amenders reo league winner. 0:30:07.520 --> 0:30:12.280 Well, Justin Upton got dfaid, which means Joe Adell skyrocket, baby, 0:30:12.360 --> 0:30:15.320 let's go. Maybe he has just figured it out. Sure, 0:30:15.320 --> 0:30:17.760 Brandon marsh is there too, but at one ninety four, 0:30:17.840 --> 0:30:20.200 Joe Adell is another player. If you're in roto formats 0:30:20.200 --> 0:30:23.760 of any kind, head to head categories or season long roto, 0:30:23.880 --> 0:30:25.680 I don't know how you don't want to be more aggressive. 0:30:25.680 --> 0:30:27.920 And this is probably another player, Welsh. I bet that 0:30:28.240 --> 0:30:30.480 it might say one ninety four, but you're probably going 0:30:30.520 --> 0:30:30.800 at what. 0:30:30.840 --> 0:30:34.160 Like he went much higher in the drafts. Yeah, especially 0:30:34.200 --> 0:30:37.880 with the successful spring, he went much much higher. Yeah, 0:30:37.920 --> 0:30:39.960 this is another one of those all the rookies. I mean, 0:30:39.960 --> 0:30:42.760 that was the thing is people were I mean, I'd 0:30:42.840 --> 0:30:46.360 admit I chastised people in this league on our early 0:30:46.440 --> 0:30:49.080 early mock drafts of taking Julio Rodriguez cause it was 0:30:49.120 --> 0:30:52.360 like what are we doing guys like they just traded 0:30:52.400 --> 0:30:55.080 for Winker, Like he's got a lot to work through. 0:30:55.120 --> 0:30:57.880 There's been no signs that they would really be this aggressive. 0:30:58.240 --> 0:31:02.360 Then collective bargaining agreement can it's fixed, you get rookie incentives, 0:31:02.480 --> 0:31:04.200 then you see him out there, then it kind of 0:31:04.280 --> 0:31:07.760 changed the whole game. But it was all speculation, same 0:31:07.760 --> 0:31:09.800 thing with Tor all these guys, and then now that 0:31:09.880 --> 0:31:13.840 you have confirmed jobs, rock it up well and jo 0:31:13.920 --> 0:31:15.840 Adell is a little different from that, but he did 0:31:15.840 --> 0:31:18.120 get confirmation though I think people were worried. There was 0:31:18.120 --> 0:31:22.080 a legit time where people were like Brandon Marsh might 0:31:22.160 --> 0:31:25.040 unseat Joe Adell because they can't get They would say 0:31:25.040 --> 0:31:27.360 they can't get out from Justin Upton. They've got no 0:31:27.480 --> 0:31:29.920 DH spot and what if Adele got sent back down. 0:31:30.120 --> 0:31:33.760 Well that's gone now and Adele has crushed in spring training, 0:31:33.800 --> 0:31:35.560 so it's been great. Yeah. 0:31:35.600 --> 0:31:38.680 The other thing that helped who Adriguez is Jared Kellnick 0:31:38.760 --> 0:31:41.040 not being able to square up a baseball very well, 0:31:41.400 --> 0:31:42.920 that's that's a problem. He's got to fix it. 0:31:43.000 --> 0:31:45.680 But it's not at the don't it's not at the expense. No, 0:31:46.040 --> 0:31:48.000 Odio's not up at the expense. 0:31:47.600 --> 0:31:50.959 Of no, no, but still it's it's it. Certainly want 0:31:51.040 --> 0:31:53.480 to pay attention, But Joe Adele, you want to be aggressive. 0:31:53.480 --> 0:31:56.440 That's fine. If people still aren't aggressive and shallower leagues 0:31:56.680 --> 0:32:00.480 be aggressive. Joe Adell has that opportunity and it fail. 0:32:00.880 --> 0:32:04.520 But if he reaches the potential of what this prospect was. 0:32:04.560 --> 0:32:06.200 I mean two years ago, this was one of the 0:32:06.240 --> 0:32:08.600 top five prospects in baseball. Everyone was talking about. We 0:32:08.640 --> 0:32:11.000 couldn't get enough Joe Adell. So let's not lose sight 0:32:11.040 --> 0:32:13.520 of that. Let's try to have a longer memory because 0:32:13.600 --> 0:32:15.320 that's the kind of impact he might be able to make. 0:32:15.360 --> 0:32:17.840 And again, I keep driving this home. The power speed 0:32:17.840 --> 0:32:20.240 combination rotal leagues is something to be very excited about. 0:32:20.240 --> 0:32:23.880 All right, let's go to your number six on your 0:32:23.920 --> 0:32:24.920 list here, Well, should we. 0:32:24.920 --> 0:32:27.200 Have a league winner is actually going to stick with 0:32:27.240 --> 0:32:30.000 the exact same team with the Guardians and a league 0:32:30.040 --> 0:32:33.760 winner Miles Straw. I know it's crazy. I've never been 0:32:33.880 --> 0:32:37.640 the biggest empty category chaser. And what I mean by 0:32:37.640 --> 0:32:40.000 that is a guy that gets a lot of one 0:32:40.080 --> 0:32:42.200 thing and then kind of sinks you in a couple 0:32:42.280 --> 0:32:45.480 other spots. But Miles Straw is one of the few 0:32:45.480 --> 0:32:49.200 players that could lead baseball in stolen bases this year, 0:32:49.760 --> 0:32:52.480 a very high likelihood I think from a projection standpoint, 0:32:52.520 --> 0:32:55.240 to finish top five. And he's going post two hundred. 0:32:55.280 --> 0:32:59.920 He's also theoretically going to lead off for the Guardians. 0:33:00.400 --> 0:33:03.000 Not a big power guy can make contact. He would 0:33:03.000 --> 0:33:06.520 be a batting average run stolen bases guy post two hundred. 0:33:06.760 --> 0:33:08.800 You missed out, unwit, you missed out on mind to see. 0:33:08.800 --> 0:33:11.080 You missed out on the big stolen base guys. You 0:33:11.120 --> 0:33:13.080 should make sure you get Miles Straw. I did it 0:33:13.120 --> 0:33:16.840 this weekend in this giant eighteen team league we do 0:33:16.960 --> 0:33:20.800 our ITL Champs League, and I didn't have great stolen bases. 0:33:21.200 --> 0:33:24.200 I reached up for Miles Straw because he's gonna put 0:33:24.240 --> 0:33:27.040 me over on stolen bases. And a post two hundred 0:33:27.040 --> 0:33:30.520 guy with thirty plus stolens and leading off, that might 0:33:30.560 --> 0:33:32.000 be a guy that can be a league winner. 0:33:32.800 --> 0:33:35.040 And I would agree. Now I had an Angel's picture 0:33:35.080 --> 0:33:37.280 on this list, I think I'm gonna change it after 0:33:37.440 --> 0:33:39.760 some of the weekend news, which is I gotta go 0:33:39.760 --> 0:33:41.920 from Patrick Sandoval, who's the guy we've talked about a lot. 0:33:42.000 --> 0:33:44.600 Let's go at Noasindegar, and let's go with a guy 0:33:44.640 --> 0:33:47.040 on a one year show me deal and if he 0:33:47.360 --> 0:33:50.560 regains the velocity of old, let's not forget when you're 0:33:50.600 --> 0:33:53.520 looking at high end velocity in the major leagues. Noah's 0:33:53.560 --> 0:33:56.240 inderguard was it for like a two to three year window. 0:33:56.560 --> 0:33:59.640 He was the dude. He was so good and he's 0:33:59.640 --> 0:34:01.520 had a lot of injuries, and maybe getting out of 0:34:01.520 --> 0:34:03.440 New York is good, maybe a fresh start is good, 0:34:03.440 --> 0:34:05.320 but it's that one year contract. I love those guys 0:34:05.320 --> 0:34:07.560 in those one year deals. I remember when Adrian Belcher 0:34:07.640 --> 0:34:10.320 was on that one year deal. I wasn't in Boston 0:34:10.360 --> 0:34:12.439 that one year. I was like, oh, let's go, let's 0:34:12.440 --> 0:34:13.920 get all in on that. Like there were just some 0:34:14.000 --> 0:34:16.520 guys where you know, when you know that they're in 0:34:16.560 --> 0:34:18.960 that spot where they have to kind of rebuild some value, 0:34:19.400 --> 0:34:21.839 you want to get in on that, especially when you've 0:34:21.880 --> 0:34:24.080 seen it can be good. And he's another picture that's 0:34:24.360 --> 0:34:26.200 you know, I want to say he's free. He does 0:34:26.320 --> 0:34:28.720 have a big name still, but in terms of ADP, 0:34:29.280 --> 0:34:31.879 he's free ish. And where is he right now ADP wise, 0:34:31.920 --> 0:34:34.200 I'm not sure because after this weekend, I'm sure it's changed. 0:34:34.239 --> 0:34:37.160 After that start. But basically what I'm got. 0:34:37.000 --> 0:34:39.880 Him at fifty in a draft by the way earlier, 0:34:40.239 --> 0:34:42.279 but like he fell fell, but I think it was 0:34:42.320 --> 0:34:45.520 before that performance. He go he's post two hundred. That's 0:34:45.600 --> 0:34:47.479 where he sits pretty firmly right now. 0:34:47.880 --> 0:34:50.120 Yeah, and I think he's worth a shot because the 0:34:50.200 --> 0:34:53.040 rotation spot is his how many things can he throw? 0:34:53.440 --> 0:34:55.680 Look realistically, I think if you draft him even post 0:34:55.680 --> 0:34:58.480 two hundred and you get one hundred and forty innings 0:34:58.480 --> 0:35:01.279 out of him, that's cool and you say, well, how 0:35:01.320 --> 0:35:03.839 is that a league winner? It is because what if 0:35:03.880 --> 0:35:07.120 you were the same team that drafted Lynn or Jacob 0:35:07.200 --> 0:35:09.279 deGrom and you don't have those guys in April and 0:35:09.320 --> 0:35:12.120 may potentially what if Cindergard can be that bridge to 0:35:12.160 --> 0:35:15.200 getting those guys potentially back healthy and then you run 0:35:15.239 --> 0:35:17.680 from there. So yeah, Cinderguard to me can be a 0:35:17.719 --> 0:35:19.839 league winner because of that, because he might be there 0:35:19.840 --> 0:35:22.560 early and dominant, and that gives you time to play 0:35:22.560 --> 0:35:24.680 the waiver wire. That gives you time to oh, look 0:35:24.680 --> 0:35:26.759 there's Nick Lodolo on the waiver wire or somebody else 0:35:26.760 --> 0:35:28.480 who's gonna get called up and make some starts with 0:35:28.480 --> 0:35:30.279 the big league club. That's what you're gonna look for 0:35:30.320 --> 0:35:34.359 all right, So those are the number six guys for me, Well, 0:35:34.440 --> 0:35:37.080 she's next on your list. 0:35:36.320 --> 0:35:38.120 Number seven. I mean, I might be getting a little 0:35:38.160 --> 0:35:40.120 nuts here with some of the young guys, but the 0:35:40.239 --> 0:35:43.200 cost Spencer Torkelsen. So here's the interesting thing about Tork. 0:35:43.280 --> 0:35:46.040 He's got a two thirty two. He isn't following the 0:35:46.120 --> 0:35:49.880 same trajectory as like Julio or a Dell or Bobby 0:35:49.920 --> 0:35:52.800 Witt to the same degree. Now he doesn't steal bases, 0:35:52.840 --> 0:35:56.160 which is part of that. But Tork was more prolific 0:35:56.880 --> 0:35:59.239 power guy that I think is being given credit for. 0:35:59.480 --> 0:36:01.799 And he's made a real concerted effort I've personally seen 0:36:01.840 --> 0:36:04.920 in person over the last six months from the AFL 0:36:05.000 --> 0:36:07.960 to now where you can see him stop trying to 0:36:08.160 --> 0:36:10.640 destroy baseballs as much as he knows he can, and 0:36:10.680 --> 0:36:13.000 he was hitting for more contact. He was really singles 0:36:13.000 --> 0:36:16.120 heavy in the AFL, and I think there was there 0:36:16.160 --> 0:36:18.120 was a purposefulness to that, and I think that's a 0:36:18.120 --> 0:36:20.520 good thing, especially for a guy like him, who you know, 0:36:20.640 --> 0:36:23.040 he understands the own book that's on him, which is 0:36:23.080 --> 0:36:26.919 you know, low breaking balls low or even fastballs really low, 0:36:26.920 --> 0:36:29.680 because he's aggressive lower in the zone he can attack. 0:36:29.920 --> 0:36:35.000 Baseball's high that I worry about some of the growing pains. 0:36:35.400 --> 0:36:38.359 But post two hundred, a first baseman that can hit 0:36:38.400 --> 0:36:41.120 thirty plus homers and be at the middle of an 0:36:41.239 --> 0:36:43.879 order that's got Hovey, Baias and Meggi in there and 0:36:43.920 --> 0:36:47.480 some fast guys in Badou and Grossman, I really like that. 0:36:48.080 --> 0:36:49.799 You know, this might be a stretch as far as 0:36:49.840 --> 0:36:52.960 like league winner, but first base can get really ugly 0:36:53.200 --> 0:36:56.280 really quick if people hoard it. And guess what breaking 0:36:56.320 --> 0:36:59.040 news they do. They do like as much as I've 0:36:59.040 --> 0:37:02.840 preached Joey Vado, CJ Crown later, people aren't comfortable with 0:37:02.920 --> 0:37:04.520 just the first basement. They want those guys as a 0:37:04.600 --> 0:37:07.520 corner infield so it can get away from you, and 0:37:07.560 --> 0:37:10.680 it can get away really quick. And Spencer Torklesen could 0:37:10.680 --> 0:37:12.200 be one of those guys that kind of brings you 0:37:12.280 --> 0:37:14.040 back and saves you. So again, I might be in 0:37:14.080 --> 0:37:16.480 a bit dramatic because I'm super excited about the rookies, 0:37:16.520 --> 0:37:18.640 but two thirty two, Spencer Torklesen, give me. 0:37:18.640 --> 0:37:21.360 Gimme, how many games do you think Torkleson places this 0:37:21.440 --> 0:37:23.919 year at the big league level? 0:37:24.280 --> 0:37:25.759 I mean, I don't I mean if he gets hurt 0:37:25.840 --> 0:37:27.880 or something like that. I mean, I I just like you. 0:37:28.560 --> 0:37:30.160 I don't think he comes out of the lineup. Let's 0:37:30.239 --> 0:37:35.480 say one thirty five, Okay, I mean I would say one. 0:37:35.520 --> 0:37:37.839 I think I'd be comfortable with one fifty as well. 0:37:37.920 --> 0:37:40.719 But somewhere in that range between one thirty and one fifty. 0:37:40.880 --> 0:37:42.760 I think the thirty or the forty I feel pretty 0:37:42.760 --> 0:37:44.160 good about. I think that's kind of where I would 0:37:44.160 --> 0:37:45.160 live with him personally. 0:37:45.760 --> 0:37:46.719 But I want to. 0:37:46.680 --> 0:37:49.839 Talk about another guy, another big time prospect a couple 0:37:49.880 --> 0:37:52.120 of years ago that people sort of soured on and 0:37:52.160 --> 0:37:54.440 forgot about. And oh, let's say he's got nine to 0:37:54.440 --> 0:37:56.920 seventy one ops so far in the spring. I like 0:37:57.040 --> 0:37:59.719 that he qualifies at second and short stop. I like 0:37:59.800 --> 0:38:03.000 that he plays in Colorado. I love that that's the best. 0:38:03.719 --> 0:38:05.839 And last year he hit left handed pitching, he hit 0:38:05.920 --> 0:38:08.719 right handed pitching. And if you look at the splits too, 0:38:08.719 --> 0:38:10.840 which everybody always wants to kill these guys in Colorado. 0:38:10.880 --> 0:38:13.239 Guess what if you look at Brendan Rodgers splits last 0:38:13.320 --> 0:38:16.399 year at home two eighty with a seven to twenty 0:38:16.400 --> 0:38:18.719 three ops, well that's not so great in Colorado. You 0:38:18.719 --> 0:38:21.719 think oh, this should be better away two eighty nine, 0:38:21.840 --> 0:38:24.960 eight seventy three. A guy can hit on the road. Eventually, 0:38:25.040 --> 0:38:27.880 the Colorado numbers are gonna propped up. It's gonna happen 0:38:28.280 --> 0:38:30.680 for Brendan Rodgers. So, Brennan Rodgers is a guy right 0:38:30.680 --> 0:38:32.399 now that if you look at the splits and you're 0:38:32.400 --> 0:38:34.279 worried about him, he say, oh, he's a Colorado guy. 0:38:34.440 --> 0:38:36.560 He's already proven he can hit outside of Colorado. I'm 0:38:36.600 --> 0:38:39.200 not worried about that. And you know, the Colorado a 0:38:39.320 --> 0:38:42.200 factor over a longer period than fifty one games is 0:38:42.239 --> 0:38:44.040 going to rear its head. It's going to be a 0:38:44.080 --> 0:38:47.480 positive one. So to me, you have that dual eligibility. 0:38:47.520 --> 0:38:49.640 I think he's got a path to the everyday job there. 0:38:49.719 --> 0:38:51.440 I like Brenan Rodgers. I got him on all my 0:38:51.440 --> 0:38:54.000 teams this year. I'm a fan. So let's go to 0:38:54.040 --> 0:38:57.399 another guy on Welsh's list. Let's go to number eight 0:38:57.600 --> 0:38:58.799 on your list, Welsh, who do you. 0:38:58.760 --> 0:39:03.000 Have uptick in the rotation for the Marlins. He saw 0:39:03.040 --> 0:39:07.040 a two to three uptick in his fastball usage. Looks back. 0:39:07.080 --> 0:39:09.120 He's a command guy. I've talked about him. Don't mean 0:39:09.120 --> 0:39:13.000 to be boring. Hazus Lozardo. I literally, I don't usually 0:39:13.080 --> 0:39:14.839 do the like. I don't say like, oh I got 0:39:14.880 --> 0:39:16.759 them all my teams or anything like that, but I 0:39:16.800 --> 0:39:18.440 literally might have him on all my teams. I might 0:39:18.480 --> 0:39:20.640 have late Lozado and every single team that I could 0:39:20.680 --> 0:39:23.480 possibly have him on. He's been a major target because 0:39:23.480 --> 0:39:26.480 he's free on the back end. He has got probably 0:39:26.560 --> 0:39:30.440 top thirty sp upside, maybe more. Maybe I'm just being like, 0:39:30.520 --> 0:39:33.040 you know, a little bit dramatic, or I'm like bringing 0:39:33.120 --> 0:39:35.960 him down a little bit, but major strakeouts command is 0:39:35.960 --> 0:39:37.640 where he used to be. I think he's a smart 0:39:37.680 --> 0:39:41.200 pitcher and it's a great rotation of really smart guys. 0:39:41.200 --> 0:39:43.319 And look at what the Marlins have done, look at 0:39:43.320 --> 0:39:46.279 what they have done with their pitchers. Hazus Lozardo is 0:39:46.360 --> 0:39:49.360 already showing some of those signs. So he might be 0:39:49.480 --> 0:39:52.120 the retread of Trevor Rodgers and could be next year 0:39:52.120 --> 0:39:56.279 a top one hundred overall player. So Lozardo could be 0:39:56.360 --> 0:39:58.440 one of the linchpins of your rotation and could be 0:39:58.480 --> 0:39:59.080 a league winner. 0:40:00.080 --> 0:40:02.239 All right for me. Another guy's Joe Ryan, a guy 0:40:02.239 --> 0:40:05.760 from the Tampa system, is now in the Minnesota system. 0:40:06.080 --> 0:40:07.840 He's gonna have a rotation spot. In fact, he's the 0:40:07.880 --> 0:40:10.319 opening day start, right, Did I read that correctly? I 0:40:10.360 --> 0:40:13.759 believe yes, that is the case. Sure, yeah, yeah, So 0:40:14.480 --> 0:40:16.360 that means he's gonna make a fair amount of starts. 0:40:16.520 --> 0:40:19.680 And not every league winner is a superstar player. Not 0:40:19.760 --> 0:40:22.840 every league winner has a career year. Sometimes league winners 0:40:22.840 --> 0:40:24.960 are guys that you can plug in there, you can 0:40:25.040 --> 0:40:28.319 draft really late in terms of ADP. He's a guy 0:40:28.320 --> 0:40:31.400 that's going at two ten right now. To me, this 0:40:31.480 --> 0:40:33.160 is a guy that you can feel pretty good about 0:40:33.160 --> 0:40:35.480 that rotation. The Twins might be better than people realize. 0:40:35.520 --> 0:40:37.640 I think they might be one of the sneaky teams. 0:40:37.680 --> 0:40:40.880 If Buxton comes true and you get Kira Love healthy 0:40:41.280 --> 0:40:44.400 and you get Korea playing well, the Twins might be 0:40:44.440 --> 0:40:46.640 spunky like they might be this year's team that people say, oh, 0:40:46.680 --> 0:40:48.480 I didn't really see that coming. It would be also 0:40:48.840 --> 0:40:51.200 on guys like Bailly over pitching well, guys like Joe Ryan. 0:40:51.280 --> 0:40:53.080 So Joe Ryan's another one of those dudes for me 0:40:53.120 --> 0:40:55.480 at number eight, let's go to number nine on your 0:40:55.480 --> 0:40:57.040 list of league winners. Well should you have? 0:40:57.080 --> 0:40:58.880 All Right, so this is cheating. I'm gonna cheat on 0:40:58.920 --> 0:41:01.359 this one because I think there's a multitude of these 0:41:01.360 --> 0:41:04.440 guys and I'm going to just call it the late closer. 0:41:05.120 --> 0:41:08.800 So I've been adamant about taking you know, at least 0:41:08.880 --> 0:41:12.040 one of the top guys. Frankly, I'd like it if 0:41:12.040 --> 0:41:14.439 you had two guys that you can feel consistent with 0:41:14.560 --> 0:41:16.839 and you don't have to mess around. I think there's 0:41:16.880 --> 0:41:18.840 gonna be tons of money that's going to be spent 0:41:19.239 --> 0:41:22.600 fab wise and waiver claims on closers in the first 0:41:22.640 --> 0:41:24.920 month or so. Not saying you don't want to be 0:41:24.960 --> 0:41:27.080 involved in it, but if you don't have to get there, great, 0:41:27.560 --> 0:41:30.919 But pay attention to the closer market, especially this week, 0:41:30.960 --> 0:41:33.880 because we've had situations that have worked themselves out, like 0:41:34.280 --> 0:41:36.799 it looks like the Nationals with Rainy might be a guy, 0:41:37.040 --> 0:41:38.799 So Rainy might be a player that you pick up. 0:41:38.880 --> 0:41:41.719 Alex Colome closing, that might be a guy that you 0:41:41.760 --> 0:41:45.160 want to pick up. Watch the late closer market and 0:41:45.239 --> 0:41:47.799 pay attention to There are post two point fifty to 0:41:47.880 --> 0:41:49.719 three hundred guys that are going to be out there. 0:41:50.440 --> 0:41:54.080 I don't know for your own leagues, Paul Sewald, Rainy 0:41:55.120 --> 0:41:57.680 Cola MA pay attention to those. Pick up those guys 0:41:57.719 --> 0:42:01.760 because we can't not say a c because there's always 0:42:01.760 --> 0:42:04.440 a late closer. There's always a guy that comes off 0:42:04.440 --> 0:42:07.160 the wire that you get and as a league winner. 0:42:07.480 --> 0:42:10.239 So jump ahead if you possibly can, if you got 0:42:10.239 --> 0:42:12.040 a draft in the next couple of days, and take 0:42:12.080 --> 0:42:14.279 one of those guys, and don't be afraid. This is 0:42:14.320 --> 0:42:17.040 another thing I would do. I would use bench spots 0:42:17.520 --> 0:42:19.840 because those last couple is where you take some shots 0:42:19.840 --> 0:42:21.920 and then you fix it waiver wires before the season, 0:42:22.280 --> 0:42:24.640 take some speculative save spots. Even if you've got two 0:42:24.640 --> 0:42:28.160 great guys. Let's say you got class in Kimberl Let's 0:42:28.160 --> 0:42:31.759 say which would be really high investment, take two more. 0:42:32.120 --> 0:42:34.920 Take a rainy and take a Colamet, or take a 0:42:35.040 --> 0:42:38.200 Pierce Johnson or Danellis in Lamet. You know we're gonna 0:42:38.200 --> 0:42:40.840 all speculate who's gonna close with the potters until they 0:42:40.840 --> 0:42:43.319 announce it. Take a couple of those guys and see 0:42:43.320 --> 0:42:45.200 if you hit, Because then what you've done is you've 0:42:45.200 --> 0:42:47.920 taken that away from the waiverwear market. You might be 0:42:47.960 --> 0:42:50.240 able to make a trade. You might have just boosted 0:42:50.239 --> 0:42:52.879 your closers, and if it doesn't work, you just throw 0:42:52.960 --> 0:42:55.160 them back and go pick up a starting pitcher or 0:42:55.160 --> 0:42:57.799 a hitter that's out there. So I'm cheating, but I'm 0:42:57.840 --> 0:43:00.680 saying the late closer is always a league winner. I 0:43:00.719 --> 0:43:01.719 just don't know who it's going to be. 0:43:01.840 --> 0:43:05.320 Yeah, and they become fodder and trades too. People desperate 0:43:05.320 --> 0:43:07.400 for saves. You can flip them. You got them for nothing, 0:43:07.840 --> 0:43:09.719 and now all of a sudden you could sell them 0:43:09.719 --> 0:43:12.959 off for something that's waspially higher in terms of ADP. 0:43:13.320 --> 0:43:17.840 Like here's an example, what was it TGFBI. The waivers 0:43:17.880 --> 0:43:20.200 just ran this past weekend and one of the top 0:43:20.239 --> 0:43:22.759 guys I saw every and this isn't the closers, by 0:43:22.760 --> 0:43:24.960 the way, but I'm just throwing it out there. To 0:43:25.040 --> 0:43:27.400 the same example, I saw one of the top like 0:43:27.480 --> 0:43:30.399 two players that was on everybody's list. One of them 0:43:30.440 --> 0:43:32.920 was Stephen Kuan with the Guardians, who is another guy 0:43:32.920 --> 0:43:35.080 that could potentially lead off and hit there. Everyone was 0:43:35.080 --> 0:43:37.719 spending money on him. Guess what in my league wasn't 0:43:37.760 --> 0:43:41.600 available because I speculated and I drafted him for that 0:43:41.640 --> 0:43:44.600 potential high lead and leadoff spot. So the same idea 0:43:44.640 --> 0:43:47.680 can be had with the closers. Take those guys off 0:43:47.760 --> 0:43:50.920 so waivers can't run and people can't have the opportunity 0:43:51.000 --> 0:43:52.600 to pick up that guy, and then what happens is 0:43:52.600 --> 0:43:55.839 you get Fomo. Everybody is tweeting about picking up this guy. 0:43:55.880 --> 0:43:58.759 Spend three, you know, thirty percent of your fab on 0:43:58.800 --> 0:44:01.000 this closer and all this, and he's not available in 0:44:01.040 --> 0:44:03.320 that league because you got him and you either have 0:44:03.440 --> 0:44:07.120 him to roll with or you've got extra trade bait 0:44:07.320 --> 0:44:10.320 to put out there, because he's got a whole big 0:44:10.400 --> 0:44:13.520 push from that week from everybody talking about him simply 0:44:13.600 --> 0:44:15.960 because he's available in getting safe, even if he's not 0:44:16.000 --> 0:44:18.720 that good. So it's just a good strategy. Bench spot's 0:44:18.760 --> 0:44:21.400 getting some of the if there are any late speculative 0:44:21.440 --> 0:44:23.480 closers to do it all right. 0:44:23.600 --> 0:44:25.880 Number nine on my list is Christian Xavier at two 0:44:26.000 --> 0:44:30.239 ninety six. Again he's free, he's got electric arm, great fastball, 0:44:30.480 --> 0:44:32.360 showed you last year. He gets strike out everybody in 0:44:32.400 --> 0:44:35.840 their mother. You're looking at this rotation here in Houston 0:44:35.920 --> 0:44:38.040 and vranber Valdez is there, and you got your koweedie 0:44:38.040 --> 0:44:41.120 there in Garcia and Verlander. That's good. I don't know 0:44:41.120 --> 0:44:42.840 what we're gonna get out of mc coulors, of anything. 0:44:43.360 --> 0:44:47.120 There's certainly a narrative you could right that maybe Verlander 0:44:47.160 --> 0:44:49.160 does struggle coming back, maybe the age has caught up 0:44:49.160 --> 0:44:51.920 with him. Maybe I'm completely wrong. It's possible it's happened 0:44:51.960 --> 0:44:54.840 once or twice. Maybe that many times, that's it twice. 0:44:55.040 --> 0:44:57.560 But Jacob Derrezi, another guy is not special. Another guy's 0:44:57.600 --> 0:45:00.759 a little older too. I think there's opportunity here for 0:45:01.360 --> 0:45:04.960 whether it be some slop wins in early April or 0:45:05.000 --> 0:45:08.320 transitioning into making some starts. Eventually, somebody's going to get hurt. 0:45:08.400 --> 0:45:10.239 And I think Christian Javier is going to get another 0:45:10.280 --> 0:45:14.000 opportunity at the starting gig, and when he does start, 0:45:14.080 --> 0:45:15.759 I think he's gonna be worth having. So I think 0:45:15.760 --> 0:45:19.520 that's a guy, especially that again sp RP eligibility. I 0:45:19.520 --> 0:45:21.600 love those deeds because they play in those kind of formats. 0:45:21.640 --> 0:45:24.200 I love that. And the last guy on our list 0:45:24.280 --> 0:45:26.920 happens to be the same guy. So I'm just gonna 0:45:27.200 --> 0:45:29.319 give up the floor. It's a group, it's a group 0:45:29.360 --> 0:45:32.719 effort here at Fantasy pros MLB, and the last guy 0:45:32.719 --> 0:45:34.680 we're going to talk about, who's our league winner number 0:45:34.680 --> 0:45:38.200 ten for both of us, Julia Rodriguez, I'm gonna yield 0:45:38.200 --> 0:45:40.160 the floor to the Welsh. Take it away. 0:45:40.320 --> 0:45:42.520 I mean, I talk about it all the time. This 0:45:42.560 --> 0:45:44.200 is a showover we just say hully only just in 0:45:44.320 --> 0:45:46.920 the show. Frankly, people probably want to hear your take 0:45:46.960 --> 0:45:48.520 on it because I talk about him so much. But 0:45:48.760 --> 0:45:50.560 just you know, my only thing to tell you is 0:45:51.120 --> 0:45:55.080 he is a superstar and I've held firm I find. 0:45:55.239 --> 0:45:58.520 Here's what I will give some people insight on whatever 0:45:58.600 --> 0:46:00.640 you think I am. I don't want to say expert. 0:46:00.640 --> 0:46:03.480 Whatever you think I am a talking head of anything 0:46:03.560 --> 0:46:09.480 of fantasy. I find it very hard to stay with 0:46:09.719 --> 0:46:11.759 someone for a long time when times are tough, and 0:46:11.800 --> 0:46:14.160 I think most people do as well. I think some 0:46:14.200 --> 0:46:16.920 people won't admit it. It's very especially when you talk 0:46:16.960 --> 0:46:20.720 about prospects. It's very hard to stay locked into something 0:46:21.160 --> 0:46:25.319 when everybody else feels a different way. And sometimes that 0:46:25.320 --> 0:46:27.560 can be the case. I can be affected by Sometimes 0:46:27.600 --> 0:46:30.560 just negative results can move me away. But if there's 0:46:30.600 --> 0:46:35.160 one thing I stayed consistent with for four years, maybe five, 0:46:35.360 --> 0:46:38.760 I don't remember now, it is Julio Rodriguez whenevery human 0:46:38.800 --> 0:46:41.440 being loved Jared Kelnick because he was in the majors. 0:46:41.480 --> 0:46:45.759 Over Julio Rodriguez prospect people had him number one. I 0:46:45.840 --> 0:46:51.359 had Julio over him. I've always been a Julio guy. 0:46:49.400 --> 0:46:54.920 I think he's a superstar. I think he has got 0:46:55.239 --> 0:46:59.840 immense raw power. He told me in the AFL. I 0:47:00.040 --> 0:47:02.200 I'm very proud of that moment. An interview I had 0:47:02.239 --> 0:47:05.920 on field with him where that AFL in twenty nineteen 0:47:05.960 --> 0:47:08.000 or eighteen, he wanted to steal more bases. He told 0:47:08.040 --> 0:47:09.400 me that he's like, I want to steal more bases. 0:47:09.440 --> 0:47:11.880 He was pissed that he got caught thrown out in 0:47:11.960 --> 0:47:14.239 the AFL in a game, and that he was like, 0:47:14.280 --> 0:47:16.360 I didn't get thrown out. And he had two stolen 0:47:16.400 --> 0:47:18.600 bases already in the AFL. He proceeded to have three 0:47:18.680 --> 0:47:21.200 or four more, and now he's become a stolen base threat. 0:47:21.200 --> 0:47:24.759 That's part of his game. He physically looks like one 0:47:24.800 --> 0:47:27.160 of the most impressive baseball players in all of baseball. 0:47:27.160 --> 0:47:30.719 He's taller than me, six foot five, sixty six rock. 0:47:30.960 --> 0:47:33.960 He's an absolute right. He looks like the rock. He's 0:47:33.960 --> 0:47:35.800 going to hit big power, He's going to steal bases. 0:47:35.840 --> 0:47:37.799 He's a five to a player. He's gonna have some 0:47:37.840 --> 0:47:39.759 bumps and bruises along the way, which I'm a little 0:47:39.800 --> 0:47:41.439 bit worried about and why I didn't think he would 0:47:41.440 --> 0:47:43.960 be called up. But if they believe he's ready to go, 0:47:44.080 --> 0:47:47.000 I've seen the bat live all offseason, and I gotta 0:47:47.040 --> 0:47:49.000 tell you might try to even hit them today before 0:47:49.040 --> 0:47:52.880 I you know, before it's all done. Julia Rodriguez is 0:47:52.880 --> 0:47:55.680 a league winner because he can do it all. I 0:47:55.680 --> 0:47:57.840 hope he doesn't go to the kill Nick route, but 0:47:57.920 --> 0:48:00.520 I'm willing to make the bet he doesn't cost post 0:48:00.600 --> 0:48:03.080 three hundred right now. After this, He's gonna cost it, 0:48:03.120 --> 0:48:06.440 probably inside the top two hundred. But Joe, you put 0:48:06.480 --> 0:48:08.479 him on this list. I kind of stole this because 0:48:08.520 --> 0:48:10.879 I agree with you. So is there any last things 0:48:10.880 --> 0:48:11.680 you have on Julio. 0:48:12.080 --> 0:48:13.880 Well, the only thing is the caveat is I think 0:48:13.880 --> 0:48:16.000 there's gonna be some strikeouts, So in those head to 0:48:16.000 --> 0:48:17.960 head points leagues, I think you have to take that 0:48:18.040 --> 0:48:19.680 with a grain of salt. I do think there will 0:48:19.719 --> 0:48:21.560 be some of those ups and downs, as you're saying, 0:48:22.120 --> 0:48:24.439 but I think the opportunity there, and I might even 0:48:24.480 --> 0:48:27.200 say that he's a player in redraft leagues. If he 0:48:27.200 --> 0:48:30.040 gets off to a hot start, I would absolutely consider 0:48:30.120 --> 0:48:31.839 selling for the moon. Like if you could turn him 0:48:31.880 --> 0:48:33.200 into a player. I agree with that, Like if I 0:48:33.239 --> 0:48:36.719 could turn Julio Rodriguez after an incredible six first six 0:48:36.760 --> 0:48:39.600 weeks into Fernando Tatis Junior in a redraft league, I 0:48:39.640 --> 0:48:41.920 make that trade every day of the week. So I 0:48:41.960 --> 0:48:44.759 think that's something to think about, is if he gets 0:48:44.800 --> 0:48:47.200 off to a hot start, as more tape gets out 0:48:47.200 --> 0:48:49.040 on it, you get figured out a little bit, things happen, 0:48:49.320 --> 0:48:51.760 and I do worry about that, So I'll just caution 0:48:51.920 --> 0:48:54.640 that there is a downside, but once again makes you 0:48:54.640 --> 0:48:56.360 a league winner, because if you get off to that 0:48:56.400 --> 0:48:59.480 heart start and you are incredible to begin with, that's great. 0:48:59.680 --> 0:49:01.600 If I flip you for an asset that's more tried 0:49:01.640 --> 0:49:03.759 and true that ends up carrying me into and through 0:49:03.800 --> 0:49:07.120 the playoffs, that's awesome. Julio Rodriguez just helped me win 0:49:07.160 --> 0:49:09.520 my league. So on that note, there's lots of different 0:49:09.520 --> 0:49:11.680 ways to win a league, and I think we gave 0:49:11.719 --> 0:49:13.520 you a lot of different names with a lot of 0:49:13.520 --> 0:49:17.320 different ways. So my names were Verlander, Trevor Rodgers, Bobby 0:49:17.360 --> 0:49:21.080 Wit Junior, Michael Kopek, Noah Sindegard, Joe Adell, Brendan Rodgers, 0:49:21.160 --> 0:49:24.440 Joe Ryan, Christian Xavier and of course, Julio Rodriguez, Welsh 0:49:24.480 --> 0:49:29.080 had Julio Rodriguez, Byron Buxton, Adolbert Delmandici, Fernando Tetis Junior, 0:49:29.080 --> 0:49:33.680 Cody Bellinger, Ahmed Rosario, Miles Straws, Spencer Torkelsen, Hayes, Lusiszardo, 0:49:33.800 --> 0:49:38.120 and the elusive Late Closer.
