1 00:00:01,120 --> 00:00:04,520 Speaker 1: Welcome into the All Star Weekend edition of the Fantasy 2 00:00:04,559 --> 00:00:08,240 Speaker 1: Pros Trade Videos. Today, we're picking on some All Stars 3 00:00:08,520 --> 00:00:10,520 Speaker 1: that maybe we can get a little boost in that 4 00:00:10,640 --> 00:00:13,760 Speaker 1: trade value. We're trying to get some arms and some bats. 5 00:00:13,840 --> 00:00:17,319 Speaker 1: Now I know, trade away Dodge. Gotta be prepared to 6 00:00:17,360 --> 00:00:19,200 Speaker 1: have things thrown at my head because you guys get 7 00:00:19,239 --> 00:00:22,040 Speaker 1: angry when we ever talk about getting rid of any 8 00:00:22,079 --> 00:00:24,880 Speaker 1: of your favorite players. But this is about optimization. These 9 00:00:24,920 --> 00:00:26,720 Speaker 1: guys are awesome. I'm not just trying to sell them. 10 00:00:26,720 --> 00:00:28,720 Speaker 1: To sell them, maybe the All Star gives them a 11 00:00:28,760 --> 00:00:30,920 Speaker 1: little bit of a boost. This episode is brought to 12 00:00:30,920 --> 00:00:34,080 Speaker 1: you by So Rare digital cards that play in Fantasy matchups. 13 00:00:34,320 --> 00:00:37,880 Speaker 1: It's pretty awesome. More on them later. So let's see 14 00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:40,640 Speaker 1: who we've got on this list. No knock on these 15 00:00:40,680 --> 00:00:43,000 Speaker 1: players that they're not going to finish the second half 16 00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:44,680 Speaker 1: as good as they were in the first half, but 17 00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:46,760 Speaker 1: maybe there are a few things that we can look 18 00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:50,440 Speaker 1: at to potentially trade high. We aren't looking to just 19 00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:53,440 Speaker 1: unload these players, like I said, but these are guys 20 00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:56,400 Speaker 1: that we are going to focus on. So friends, strap in, 21 00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:00,400 Speaker 1: let me know what you think. Here we go first, 22 00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:05,520 Speaker 1: a Texas Rangers catcher Jonaheim, the leader in RBI at 23 00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:09,679 Speaker 1: the catcher position, more than Vlad Guerrero Junior, more than 24 00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:12,560 Speaker 1: Randy or Rose Arena, and even more than his teammate 25 00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:15,560 Speaker 1: Marcus Simeon. Him has been awesome, no doubt about it, 26 00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:18,480 Speaker 1: but maybe the second half isn't gonna quite be what 27 00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:21,120 Speaker 1: the first was. He's running quite a higher babbit than 28 00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:24,880 Speaker 1: his career, about sixty points higher. In fact, he's got 29 00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:28,240 Speaker 1: a twelve point dip in his batting average versus XBA. 30 00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:31,880 Speaker 1: He's also got an over thirty point differential in his 31 00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:38,200 Speaker 1: batting average against fastballs versus expected batting average against fastballs, 32 00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:41,200 Speaker 1: so it's expected to get a little bit worse July's production. 33 00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:42,880 Speaker 1: It's a lot less than a full month, of course, 34 00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:46,319 Speaker 1: but so far he's only got two RBI. Another thing 35 00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:48,720 Speaker 1: to focus on, it's been heavy homers in specific months. 36 00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:51,080 Speaker 1: Eleven of his twelve homers have come out of two 37 00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:54,960 Speaker 1: months of production. Listen, the Razors offense has been awesome, 38 00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:57,480 Speaker 1: but maybe it's cooling just a little bit though, so 39 00:01:57,600 --> 00:02:01,320 Speaker 1: selling high on the hottest catcher in fantasy might actually 40 00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:04,680 Speaker 1: have a pretty solid net return. I'm looking to try 41 00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:08,120 Speaker 1: to unload some jonah Heim how about some pitchers While 42 00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:11,960 Speaker 1: we're looking at Minnesota Twins, Sonny Gray. Sunny Gray has 43 00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:13,720 Speaker 1: been great this year, as all these guys have been 44 00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:15,920 Speaker 1: great see All Star Game. These are all Stars, no 45 00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:19,280 Speaker 1: doubt about it. Two eight nine ERA, over one hundred strikeouts, 46 00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:24,720 Speaker 1: but things might be slowly unraveling. His ERA has gotten 47 00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:29,079 Speaker 1: worse each month, from a point seventy seven in March 48 00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:32,200 Speaker 1: to a four point five here in July. We've also 49 00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:37,079 Speaker 1: seen a full run more of an expected ERA at 50 00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:39,960 Speaker 1: three point eight nine. He's also got a four point 51 00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:42,880 Speaker 1: one four SIERRA, which is not great. This is actually 52 00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:46,320 Speaker 1: the worst since twenty eighteen and the third worst of 53 00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:49,760 Speaker 1: his career. His hard hit percentage against is the second 54 00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:51,960 Speaker 1: worst of his career. We also haven't seen a really 55 00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:54,480 Speaker 1: big jump in k's that can mask some of this, 56 00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:57,240 Speaker 1: like we have with Pabul Lopez or with Joe Ryan. 57 00:02:57,600 --> 00:02:59,919 Speaker 1: His sweeper's been good, but both the fastball and sink 58 00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:03,079 Speaker 1: they're getting hit harder than normal, so that gives him 59 00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:06,040 Speaker 1: a lot less wiggle room. The fastball in fact, being 60 00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:09,920 Speaker 1: hit almost three fifty batting average wise against with a 61 00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:14,880 Speaker 1: three hundred expected batting average. Sunny Gray's been great, but 62 00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:17,320 Speaker 1: someone might be buying on the All Star and I 63 00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:20,839 Speaker 1: might be selling. Next up here is the splits King 64 00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:26,960 Speaker 1: Marlins outfielder Jorge Solaiir hip hop. Hooray, Holy crap. Solare's 65 00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:29,919 Speaker 1: been awesome this year, top ten percent in x slug, 66 00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:33,680 Speaker 1: top ten percent in x wOBA barrel, with twenty three 67 00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:38,040 Speaker 1: homers and a top five in max EV. He's been awesome. 68 00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:41,960 Speaker 1: So why are we looking to sell high? Well, it's 69 00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:46,320 Speaker 1: the splits. In only sixty six at bats, Solair has 70 00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:50,320 Speaker 1: ten of his twenty three homers this year. He's hitting 71 00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:56,680 Speaker 1: three thirty three against lefties, which he destroys right He's 72 00:03:57,240 --> 00:03:59,640 Speaker 1: not quite the same though, the power still there. He's 73 00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:02,720 Speaker 1: got thirty homers, but he's only hitting two thirty three 74 00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:06,120 Speaker 1: versus righties. Go back to lefties, he's got an over 75 00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:10,720 Speaker 1: eight hundred slug but against righty's it's just four sixty six. 76 00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:13,440 Speaker 1: We can also see May was a big month for 77 00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:17,080 Speaker 1: Jorge Silaire, as over half of his total home runs 78 00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:20,600 Speaker 1: came in that month at twelve So severe splits players 79 00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:23,800 Speaker 1: just a little bit scarier to me, especially long term. 80 00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:27,000 Speaker 1: So if someone is buying hard for power, Solaire is 81 00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:30,720 Speaker 1: someone that might bring a really solid return especially. We 82 00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:33,520 Speaker 1: don't usually talk about this, but looking at maybe Dynasty 83 00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:36,760 Speaker 1: Rebuilding owners, this might be someone I'm looking at.

All right, let's get back 99 00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:29,560 Speaker 1: to the trades here with a little bit of bigger 100 00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:32,920 Speaker 1: names on the All Stars. How about my own Arizona 101 00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:37,360 Speaker 1: Diamonbacks starting pitcher Zach Gallen. Gallen is still near the 102 00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:40,919 Speaker 1: top of the betting favorites for NL cy Young, but 103 00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:43,240 Speaker 1: even as a dimondback fan, I'm looking at the possibility 104 00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:47,080 Speaker 1: of maximizing trade value if things start to turn. Gallen 105 00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:50,159 Speaker 1: has a half run higher expected ERA at over three 106 00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:53,520 Speaker 1: point six not bad at all, not quite cy Young. 107 00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:57,760 Speaker 1: He's also getting barreled three percent more this year at 108 00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:00,480 Speaker 1: ninety point nine percent. That's the first time he's ever 109 00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:03,040 Speaker 1: had a barrel percentage over ninety percent, so just the 110 00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:06,200 Speaker 1: quality of contact is a lot harder. We've also seen 111 00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:09,160 Speaker 1: a mile per hoor dip in his velo, which we're 112 00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:11,600 Speaker 1: kind of waiting to stabilize. It just hasn't. So here's 113 00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:14,839 Speaker 1: the thing. The Dbacs they're starting to take their foot 114 00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:16,799 Speaker 1: off the gas a little bit. They have very little 115 00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:20,200 Speaker 1: help inside the rotation. They have an awful bullpen, and 116 00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:23,719 Speaker 1: the Dodgers are right on their heels. I personally love Gallon. 117 00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:26,920 Speaker 1: I've brought him up in the trade for a ton 118 00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:29,440 Speaker 1: of times and there's no way I want to sell 119 00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:31,520 Speaker 1: just to sell. But if someone sees him in the 120 00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:34,640 Speaker 1: All Star Game, then here's the cy Young early odds. 121 00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:37,320 Speaker 1: He could be had for a haul. It's possible the 122 00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:40,680 Speaker 1: negatives are more than the anomaly than anything else for Gallon. 123 00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:43,520 Speaker 1: But sometimes we just got to take a shot, and this, 124 00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:46,960 Speaker 1: to me is a time for Zach Gallen. Final up here. 125 00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:49,560 Speaker 1: This is the most dangerous and I am dodging bullets 126 00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:54,520 Speaker 1: White Sox, Luis Robert. This is the toughest one to do, 127 00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:56,200 Speaker 1: and I feel like I picked on the White Sox 128 00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:59,880 Speaker 1: a bit this year. Now to mention, watch him easily 129 00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:02,760 Speaker 1: Adley Retchman in the first round of the Home Run Derby. 130 00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:05,799 Speaker 1: So why is this more tough? It's everything I just said. 131 00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:08,839 Speaker 1: He's having a career year. Louise Robert has been awesome, 132 00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:12,160 Speaker 1: but that's just it. The health is always in the 133 00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:14,240 Speaker 1: back of my mind with Louis Robert. I mean we're 134 00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:17,400 Speaker 1: talking huge numbers. Robert has doubled his home run total 135 00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:20,240 Speaker 1: of any other year, but he's also added nine percent 136 00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:23,160 Speaker 1: more strikeouts to his game. The thing that stood out 137 00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:25,760 Speaker 1: is the damage that he's done against fastballs this year. 138 00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:27,600 Speaker 1: You see that in the Home Run Derby. Of course, 139 00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:31,040 Speaker 1: hitting over three hundred with a very sustainable over three 140 00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:35,080 Speaker 1: hundred XBA against. This is on the fastball, but he's 141 00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:39,200 Speaker 1: underperformed against breaking pitches and offspeed pitches. He's hitting both 142 00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:42,520 Speaker 1: two thirty one against offspeed and breaking This is lower 143 00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:47,120 Speaker 1: than last year, while also including a lower expected batting 144 00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:50,520 Speaker 1: average significantly lower than last year against both those type 145 00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:53,240 Speaker 1: of pitches. He's performing at a first round return. I'm 146 00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:56,200 Speaker 1: not trying to tell you he's bad whatsoever, or that 147 00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:57,960 Speaker 1: he's going to become trash. He's not going to turn 148 00:07:57,960 --> 00:08:02,680 Speaker 1: into a pumpkin necessarily be silly, but for highlighting all 149 00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:06,640 Speaker 1: star performances, players that could get a king's ransom. Some 150 00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:08,880 Speaker 1: of these are just big hauls, but this might be 151 00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:11,520 Speaker 1: a king's ransom. Look at Luis Robert. I don't think 152 00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:15,560 Speaker 1: there's any like real, actual tangible stuff about home run 153 00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:18,680 Speaker 1: Derby's any of ruining a player's swing, But you talk 154 00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:21,960 Speaker 1: about an injury prone player, obviously the home run derby 155 00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:25,200 Speaker 1: being an important piece of it. Luis Robert has some 156 00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:28,040 Speaker 1: wartz that if I could trade at the very height 157 00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:31,680 Speaker 1: the first round potential, I might look at it with 158 00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:35,000 Speaker 1: Luis Robert. But also I don't like things thrown at me, 159 00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:37,240 Speaker 1: and I understand if you get mad about it. Well, 160 00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:39,120 Speaker 1: there you have it, all stars to trade. What are 161 00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:42,680 Speaker 1: we thinking here?
