47
00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:57,000
Speaker 2: you can do.

48
00:01:57,040 --> 00:01:57,400
Speaker 1: You wand know.

49
00:01:57,440 --> 00:01:59,600
Speaker 2: One cool thing I was doing today, I clicked on

50
00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:02,320
Speaker 2: I don't do a ton of auction leagues. Auctions are

51
00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:04,560
Speaker 2: the bane of my existence because of how long they take.

52
00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:07,360
Speaker 2: But you know what I love about auction stuff is

53
00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:10,040
Speaker 2: the calculators because you can go and you can check

54
00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:13,760
Speaker 2: actual pricing. I was in the salary cap estimator I

55
00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:15,600
Speaker 2: think that we have. I think that's the title of it.

56
00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:18,119
Speaker 2: It's a salary cap value calculator. And I was going

57
00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:21,240
Speaker 2: in and I was changing all the different formats, fifteen

58
00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:24,640
Speaker 2: adding positions, watching the dollars change, and sometimes it's a

59
00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:27,919
Speaker 2: really good barometer just to talk about actual values, even

60
00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:29,839
Speaker 2: if you're not in salary cap leagues. If you want

61
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:33,400
Speaker 2: to see the worth of players based on projections to money,

62
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:36,200
Speaker 2: I do that all the time. There's some great spaces

63
00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:38,440
Speaker 2: that have done that in the past, and we do

64
00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:40,880
Speaker 2: that here, So go and check that out amongst all

65
00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:42,680
Speaker 2: the great tools here at Fantasy Pros.

66
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:44,520
Speaker 1: Now, speaking of great tools, Welsh and I are going

67
00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:46,359
Speaker 1: to talk some prospects. Now. That's right, because we're the

68
00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:48,920
Speaker 1: two biggest tools around these parts. So let's talk about it.

69
00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:50,840
Speaker 1: We'll talk about the obvious guys, the guys that we

70
00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:52,560
Speaker 1: already kind of touched on the last show. So if

71
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:54,560
Speaker 1: you miss that, I go back and watch and listen

72
00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:57,040
Speaker 1: to it. Wyatt Langford obviously a big one too. You know,

73
00:02:57,080 --> 00:02:59,800
Speaker 1: the Texas Rangers right now kind of an embarrassment of riches.

74
00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:02,760
Speaker 1: They win the World Series. You know, a couple of

75
00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:04,959
Speaker 1: years ago, they're overpaying for some guys, some contracts a

76
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:07,000
Speaker 1: lot of us were rolling our eyes about, but turned

77
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:09,800
Speaker 1: out to be the right situation. And clearly things are

78
00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:11,919
Speaker 1: going well and they've already got a good young pipeline

79
00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:16,320
Speaker 1: of players. Jackson Churio, the young infielder for the Milwaukee Brewers,

80
00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:19,360
Speaker 1: who is very exciting. They've already extended him in Milwaukee.

81
00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:22,160
Speaker 1: We touched on him too. We expect him to break

82
00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:23,800
Speaker 1: with the club. I want to say he's going to

83
00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:26,000
Speaker 1: still be less than twenty by the time that would

84
00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:28,440
Speaker 1: happen in spring. I believe I gotta check the birthday.

85
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:30,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think actually I think I just looked at

86
00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:32,080
Speaker 2: the other day. I actually think it's March eleventh that

87
00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:33,920
Speaker 2: he knew it was a round there. I feel like

88
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:35,760
Speaker 2: he wouldn't he'll turn twenty for the season.

89
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:38,720
Speaker 1: Still can't drink, but we won't tell if Jackson has

90
00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:41,200
Speaker 1: a you know, a champagne to celebrate that contract, because

91
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:43,120
Speaker 1: goodness knows, Welsh and I would have at least a

92
00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:46,040
Speaker 1: bottle or two. Evan Carter also another piece for that

93
00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:48,920
Speaker 1: Rangers team that's very exciting, and Junior Camenaro a piece

94
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:50,400
Speaker 1: that you know, we think is going to get a

95
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:53,160
Speaker 1: lot of opportunity this year in Tampa. Now, Kemonaro is

96
00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:55,320
Speaker 1: my guy. I think he's the guy they can step in.

97
00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:57,320
Speaker 1: The need is going to be there. I think he's

98
00:03:57,320 --> 00:03:59,440
Speaker 1: going to come in right away be very productive. I

99
00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:01,040
Speaker 1: don't want to think there's gonna be too much pressure

100
00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:04,000
Speaker 1: on Turio is spectacular, but again, he is very young,

101
00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:05,880
Speaker 1: and there's a lot of pressure when you're that guy

102
00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:07,760
Speaker 1: and you come up at that age. It's going back

103
00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:10,000
Speaker 1: to the days of Alex Rodriguez right in Seattle where

104
00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:11,760
Speaker 1: he comes up and he's twenty years old, and you

105
00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:13,360
Speaker 1: know the pressure that was on him, and he had

106
00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:16,040
Speaker 1: a lot of star power around him. I don't know

107
00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:18,240
Speaker 1: if he's got that same kind of situation in Milwaukee

108
00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:20,800
Speaker 1: that a Rod had in Seattle. We can talk about that.

109
00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:23,360
Speaker 1: But of these four, which is the guy that you

110
00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:25,760
Speaker 1: can see yourself having the most shares of, depending upon

111
00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:28,760
Speaker 1: ADP or depending upon what you think really is worth

112
00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:31,559
Speaker 1: the premium, or maybe the guy that has the best

113
00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:33,479
Speaker 1: path to playing the most time.

114
00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:36,520
Speaker 2: So this elite tier, and you kind of mentioned at

115
00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:38,080
Speaker 2: the top, I just want to point out again this

116
00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:40,279
Speaker 2: is not really even in our group of the prospects

117
00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:43,000
Speaker 2: you have to have, because you should already have these guys.

118
00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:45,920
Speaker 2: So these are the most obvious of targets. Now I'll

119
00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:49,240
Speaker 2: tell you this. I have Wyatt Langford higher than anybody here,

120
00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:52,400
Speaker 2: but I would say Langford is in the bottom two

121
00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:56,160
Speaker 2: of sustain of like feeling comfortable that you're going to

122
00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:58,880
Speaker 2: have him on opening day at this moment. Evan Carter's

123
00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:01,120
Speaker 2: the safest we know. He has a spot. Guy was

124
00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:03,960
Speaker 2: hitting three in the World Series. He's locked into a

125
00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:06,840
Speaker 2: roster spot. You can draft him and know Churio with

126
00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:09,560
Speaker 2: the contract, leads us to believe he's going to be

127
00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:11,680
Speaker 2: able to play the whole season. What you love about

128
00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:13,560
Speaker 2: those two, by the way, are the stolen bases. I

129
00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:16,919
Speaker 2: have questions about Carter's power. I'm probably actually least interested

130
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:18,559
Speaker 2: in Carter even though he's safe.

131
00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:21,000
Speaker 1: That's you know, it's funny. I'm least interested in him too.

132
00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:22,919
Speaker 1: Why are you least interested just out of curiousity?

133
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:25,839
Speaker 2: Well, I mean, I don't love the lefty bat. I

134
00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:27,280
Speaker 2: know a lot of people are making a big thing

135
00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:29,960
Speaker 2: about it, but I believe between the miners and the majors,

136
00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:33,200
Speaker 2: he had one extra base hit against lefties the entire year.

137
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:36,599
Speaker 2: Struggled even in the majors against lefties, So if you

138
00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:39,359
Speaker 2: get into splits, that's a question. Plus, he is the

139
00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:42,720
Speaker 2: lowest power projection of any of these players, so he's

140
00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:45,680
Speaker 2: at the bottom. Churio is the most electric of all

141
00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:48,039
Speaker 2: those and he has this contract to get him in there.

142
00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:50,120
Speaker 2: He's actually going number one of all these players in

143
00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:54,200
Speaker 2: current redraft NFBC leagues, But Wyatt Langford is my guy.

144
00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:57,120
Speaker 2: We'll also saying Camonaro. Cannaro is the best value of

145
00:05:57,200 --> 00:06:00,680
Speaker 2: every single player that's two hundred. Yeah, well, but he

146
00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:03,760
Speaker 2: has the least. He has the least probability at this moment,

147
00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:06,520
Speaker 2: even though there's kind of open spots, this team has

148
00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:09,960
Speaker 2: to move Estock Parides. If they move estoc Parides jump

149
00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:12,520
Speaker 2: quickly on Junior Camenero. But right now there's no path.

150
00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:14,320
Speaker 1: So we'll go back to why that's happening, which is

151
00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:15,400
Speaker 1: why I want to be ahead of the curve and

152
00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:16,920
Speaker 1: take him in the early drafts or were the best

153
00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:19,680
Speaker 1: ball drafts were talking to. And you know, Cherio is

154
00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:21,240
Speaker 1: going to be probably the most expensive of these guys,

155
00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:23,520
Speaker 1: obviously and rightfully, so I think we can all agree

156
00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:25,960
Speaker 1: on that. But it's funny because you mentioned that Carter's

157
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:27,599
Speaker 1: the guy for you that you also struggle with. To me,

158
00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:30,040
Speaker 1: it's the frame. I'm just concerned that he golds up

159
00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:31,840
Speaker 1: over a long season. I think he's got a long

160
00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:34,040
Speaker 1: way to go in terms of growing into the size

161
00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:34,960
Speaker 1: and the body type.

162
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:37,080
Speaker 2: But what's so tough about that is two of these

163
00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:39,040
Speaker 2: obvious guys play on the same team then, so you've

164
00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:42,039
Speaker 2: got Carter and Wyatt Langford. So for all intentsive purposes,

165
00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:44,560
Speaker 2: I've talked about this Wyatt length. They're going to give

166
00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:46,520
Speaker 2: why at Langford the opportunity he got all the way

167
00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:48,960
Speaker 2: up to Triple A. He was in legit discussions for

168
00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:52,120
Speaker 2: a playoff run. There was legit discussions when I was

169
00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:54,040
Speaker 2: actually at that game at the World Cherias when Adully

170
00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:56,760
Speaker 2: Scarcia got hurt, there was discussions about putting him on

171
00:06:56,839 --> 00:06:59,000
Speaker 2: the active roster when it happened. They're going to give

172
00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:02,560
Speaker 2: him a shot. This team could do some if there's

173
00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:04,560
Speaker 2: a weird split issue, there could be a platoon and

174
00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:06,520
Speaker 2: these guys could maybe hurt each other. But I think

175
00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:08,960
Speaker 2: that DH spot is open for Langford. They can put

176
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:11,880
Speaker 2: him in the outfield. He's got a good ADP. I

177
00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:13,920
Speaker 2: want to be invested in him. I have him higher

178
00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:16,800
Speaker 2: than any guy on my redraft ranks this year, So

179
00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:19,560
Speaker 2: Langford I want to be in the most business of

180
00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:22,560
Speaker 2: Camonaro is the best value. So both of those guys

181
00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:24,080
Speaker 2: are gonna end up on a lot of teams. I

182
00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:26,400
Speaker 2: have not been able to pull the trigger on Surreio

183
00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:27,960
Speaker 2: just yet or Evan Carter.

184
00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:30,320
Speaker 1: All right, let's jump to the list. Now the other

185
00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:32,240
Speaker 1: guys that you're gonna have to have at some point

186
00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:34,280
Speaker 1: or maybe even draft, depending on the depth of your league,

187
00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:36,360
Speaker 1: and we're an start with Baltimore Orioles, who are going

188
00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:38,440
Speaker 1: to be embarrassment of riches when it comes to young players.

189
00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:41,960
Speaker 1: Jackson Holliday yet another one. Now Welsh I described him,

190
00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:44,120
Speaker 1: you know, in my opinion, he's a left handed version

191
00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:47,200
Speaker 1: of Craig Bigio. Spreads the ball, round, makes good contact

192
00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:49,480
Speaker 1: all over the place. We'll see if the power you

193
00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:51,240
Speaker 1: know develops. Last year, this is a guy who went

194
00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:53,240
Speaker 1: from A to High A to Double A all the

195
00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:55,240
Speaker 1: way Triple A. Only played eighteen games in Triple A.

196
00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:57,360
Speaker 1: Hitch just two sixty seven, but he's still that three

197
00:07:57,480 --> 00:08:00,000
Speaker 1: ninety six obps. So the on base skills are still there.

198
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:01,760
Speaker 1: The guy takes a ton of walks. He's got really

199
00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:04,760
Speaker 1: good pitch recognition skills. Obviously, you know the pedigree of

200
00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:06,840
Speaker 1: being the son of a may form major leaguer. So

201
00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:09,360
Speaker 1: Jackson Holliday, your thoughts and how aggressive people should be

202
00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:11,080
Speaker 1: on him in twenty four So this.

203
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:13,080
Speaker 2: Is the one I want to be hyper aggressive on,

204
00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:15,760
Speaker 2: but I'm I'm playing it a little bit cautious right now.

205
00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:18,160
Speaker 2: If you go to roster resource as we are doing

206
00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:21,440
Speaker 2: this video, he is currently set up as their shortstop,

207
00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:25,240
Speaker 2: but we don't have any confirmation. If Jackson Holiday is

208
00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:28,640
Speaker 2: confirmed that he is the starting shortstop for the season,

209
00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:31,960
Speaker 2: I think he's a top one hundred guid to draft

210
00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:34,400
Speaker 2: in redraft leagues because, like, this is one of the

211
00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:36,200
Speaker 2: things I like about Langford. Of all those guys we

212
00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:38,520
Speaker 2: talked about, you know, kemn Arrow doesn't have the stolen bases,

213
00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:41,679
Speaker 2: but big power Churio. I worry there might be some

214
00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:45,000
Speaker 2: off speed struggles as far as like maybe getting going

215
00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:48,240
Speaker 2: through some ups and downs. Langford has got this floor

216
00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:50,959
Speaker 2: with his OBP. That's what Jackson Holiday does. Jackson Hollidy

217
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:53,400
Speaker 2: had over one hundred walks in the minor leagues this

218
00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:56,720
Speaker 2: past year. Absolutely hits the ball hard, he can run.

219
00:08:57,120 --> 00:08:59,840
Speaker 2: I think he could be closer to like an Oh

220
00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:03,319
Speaker 2: Bobby Witt type of guy. Like I think he is

221
00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:06,120
Speaker 2: a twenty homer is not even in question for me.

222
00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:08,439
Speaker 2: I think the guy can steal thirty to forty bases.

223
00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:11,520
Speaker 2: He walks a decent amount, doesn't strike out a lot,

224
00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:14,680
Speaker 2: makes great contact. If he is anointed the guy, he

225
00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:18,199
Speaker 2: will be drafted inside the top one hundred. I guarantee

226
00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:20,360
Speaker 2: it come draft time. Right now, you can get him

227
00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:22,840
Speaker 2: late because there's a little bit of a question mark.

228
00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:25,920
Speaker 2: He's around that Camonaro range, but people feel more comfortable

229
00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:27,800
Speaker 2: that camon Aro is going to be able to start sooner.

230
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:30,160
Speaker 2: So that's why I think the prospects that you have

231
00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:33,440
Speaker 2: to have the true top ten list here. Jackson Holiday

232
00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:36,480
Speaker 2: is one that you should be drafting in your league's

233
00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:39,520
Speaker 2: post two hundred every single time, just off of the

234
00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:41,959
Speaker 2: shoot that he does do it. If he doesn't right

235
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:44,800
Speaker 2: off the gates, it still might be within the first month.

236
00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:47,480
Speaker 2: And I think he presents such a good floor. This

237
00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:49,320
Speaker 2: is exactly the type of prospect that you want to

238
00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:52,040
Speaker 2: invest in in in redraft league, you know. I mean

239
00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:53,920
Speaker 2: I love him in Dynasty as well, that's not even question.

240
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:56,760
Speaker 2: He's my number one prospect. But redraft this is the guy,

241
00:09:57,120 --> 00:09:59,559
Speaker 2: great young player. You're a little more bullish on the

242
00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:01,080
Speaker 2: power than I am. I don't know if it's gonna

243
00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:03,040
Speaker 2: translate right away. I think it's gonna take a little

244
00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:03,560
Speaker 2: bit more time.

245
00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:06,360
Speaker 1: Next guy on our list is nuelve Marte, who is

246
00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:08,880
Speaker 1: a player that you know if you've been following or

247
00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:10,720
Speaker 1: eve been playing Dynacay baseball for a while. I miss

248
00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:12,480
Speaker 1: the guy that I drafted. I think four years ago

249
00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:15,000
Speaker 1: when he was probably still a teenager when he was

250
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:17,840
Speaker 1: with Seattle. And what I love most about Marte at

251
00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:20,000
Speaker 1: this juncture too, when you watch the tape on him,

252
00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:23,920
Speaker 1: is he's really done a good job of staying balanced,

253
00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:27,480
Speaker 1: staying back, he waits on that ball, and he really

254
00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:29,840
Speaker 1: is using you know, that leverage that he gets with

255
00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:31,720
Speaker 1: his legs and that balance that he's had in his swing.

256
00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:33,319
Speaker 1: He's got a little bit of a leg kick now too,

257
00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:35,440
Speaker 1: which is something that he's added. You didn't quite have

258
00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:37,400
Speaker 1: that when he was younger, twite to the extent that

259
00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:38,800
Speaker 1: he's got it now. So you're seeing a little bit

260
00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:40,319
Speaker 1: more power and I think that's why you're seeing some

261
00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:42,360
Speaker 1: of these balls jump up there with Marte. But I

262
00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:44,600
Speaker 1: guess the big question with Marte is where does he

263
00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:48,000
Speaker 1: play at this point too? Right? It's such a logjam there.

264
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:50,920
Speaker 1: What is your answer to that question? Because I think

265
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:52,800
Speaker 1: that's something we all look at and we're all trying

266
00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:53,640
Speaker 1: to figure out the answer.

267
00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:56,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, I think the question is third base. So okay,

268
00:10:56,960 --> 00:10:59,200
Speaker 2: I think some people could probably be like, hey, this

269
00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:02,720
Speaker 2: guy belongs in that little elite tier.

270
00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:05,800
Speaker 1: You talk, where does na Strando if he goes to third.

271
00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:07,120
Speaker 1: I guess that's the big question, right.

272
00:11:07,160 --> 00:11:09,240
Speaker 2: Well, I don't think in karnassion Strand is a third

273
00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:11,720
Speaker 2: base option for this team. I think that is out.

274
00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:14,600
Speaker 2: I don't think defensively they've liked him there. He is

275
00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:16,800
Speaker 2: a first base guy, so I think you know you

276
00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:19,400
Speaker 2: getting and they've already moved Steer to the outfield. So

277
00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:23,160
Speaker 2: I think the roster construction at this time is Ellie

278
00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:27,280
Speaker 2: at short, McClain is at second, and Noelvie is at third,

279
00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:30,120
Speaker 2: with Strand at first, Steers in the outfield, and it

280
00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:32,400
Speaker 2: could move around. Here's the problem and why we put

281
00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:34,600
Speaker 2: him in this tier and I have Jackson Holiday above him.

282
00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:37,240
Speaker 2: Is there still is a question mark because this team

283
00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:40,560
Speaker 2: is so talented. They could have McClain be short. Ellie,

284
00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:43,079
Speaker 2: they've talked about playing some third, and they still have

285
00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:46,080
Speaker 2: Jonathan India. Jonathan India could be playing some second base,

286
00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:50,080
Speaker 2: so there's a possibility that Noelvie starts in the minors.

287
00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:53,720
Speaker 2: I also think the upside in my mind is bigger

288
00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:55,840
Speaker 2: with Jackson Holiday, and that's why I have him as

289
00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:58,640
Speaker 2: the number one guy to own. There's some question marks here,

290
00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:02,120
Speaker 2: but Listen is fantastic in his pro debut, hit the

291
00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:04,440
Speaker 2: ball hard, six dolen bases in a little over one

292
00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:06,319
Speaker 2: hundred at bats, he had three homers, he hit over

293
00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:09,600
Speaker 2: three hundred. I don't think they're gonna push him off,

294
00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:12,440
Speaker 2: but he costs a lot more than guys like Camonaro

295
00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:16,000
Speaker 2: and Jackson Holiday. But he's still prospect eligible. There still

296
00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:19,240
Speaker 2: is a very viable path for him to break camp

297
00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:22,800
Speaker 2: with the team. And categorically, if he does what he

298
00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:26,120
Speaker 2: did last year and it translates back over, Okay, I'll

299
00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:27,520
Speaker 2: be wrong. He should have been the number one guy

300
00:12:27,559 --> 00:12:29,400
Speaker 2: that he's probably a twenty thirty guy.

301
00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:30,960
Speaker 1: Well, I'll be honest, I don't care if he breaks

302
00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:32,839
Speaker 1: or not. He's playing more than one hundred games for

303
00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:34,920
Speaker 1: the Reds this year. There's no way I think they

304
00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:38,640
Speaker 1: can keep that. So if anything, you might get a discount.

305
00:12:38,679 --> 00:12:40,920
Speaker 1: In April or March, I should say on this guy,

306
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:42,560
Speaker 1: if they say, well, we're gonna give a little bit

307
00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:44,320
Speaker 1: more time, maybe we're gonna try some other things. First

308
00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:46,680
Speaker 1: teams love to do that, and then may first rolls around.

309
00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:49,199
Speaker 1: Next thing, you know, the guy's back, So take advantage

310
00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:51,320
Speaker 1: if that should happen with Marte, because I'm telling you,

311
00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:54,680
Speaker 1: watching the evolution of this kid who really came on

312
00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:56,960
Speaker 1: strong in this Seattle organization and then got traded there

313
00:12:57,000 --> 00:12:58,800
Speaker 1: and then watching what he did this year and again

314
00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:01,200
Speaker 1: when you watch the tape on him, very impressive. The

315
00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:05,000
Speaker 1: balance in that guy as a hitter is really impressive,

316
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:06,920
Speaker 1: and he's the power is legit. I want to get

317
00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:09,160
Speaker 1: him in that ballpark as soon as possible. Let's go

318
00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:13,080
Speaker 1: to the manchild, Kyle Manzardo, who was once a Tampa

319
00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:17,560
Speaker 1: Bay prospect now with the Cleveland Guardians. Manzardo is interesting

320
00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:20,480
Speaker 1: because he's got what I call the coil swing Welsh,

321
00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:22,760
Speaker 1: which is something that you know, there's different versions of this.

322
00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:25,280
Speaker 1: You see these guys with that front side where they'll

323
00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:28,040
Speaker 1: turn that front heel inward kind of you know, trying

324
00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:29,520
Speaker 1: to stay back, trying to stay back as much. Again,

325
00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:31,280
Speaker 1: it's something the Pooholes used to do. But then you

326
00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:33,400
Speaker 1: have some other guys that really coil and the left

327
00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:35,520
Speaker 1: handed guy that he reminds me of when he really coils.

328
00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:38,199
Speaker 1: The coil guy of all time is Don Mattingley, who

329
00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:40,600
Speaker 1: was a smaller guy who used to get so much

330
00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:42,960
Speaker 1: out of his swing with that coil that he used

331
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:44,520
Speaker 1: to do. He used to turn his whole body in

332
00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:47,280
Speaker 1: and all that power come from that explosiveness of that coil.

333
00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:49,640
Speaker 1: That's kind of what Manzardo does now. Obviously, you know,

334
00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:52,720
Speaker 1: we have a difference in terms of size potentially, you know,

335
00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:56,160
Speaker 1: Manzardo six feet tall, not so much with don Mattingley.

336
00:13:56,200 --> 00:13:58,680
Speaker 1: I don't know what his official measurements might be, but

337
00:13:58,679 --> 00:14:00,679
Speaker 1: I don't think Donny Baseball was six tall last time

338
00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:04,679
Speaker 1: I joined. So, but Manzardo interesting guy because Cleveland is

339
00:14:04,920 --> 00:14:07,680
Speaker 1: I think a team that desperately could use some help

340
00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:10,120
Speaker 1: here on the offensive side. He's coming off a pretty

341
00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:13,280
Speaker 1: good Fall League two seventy two, three forty five, sixty

342
00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:15,960
Speaker 1: five slash with a nine oh five ops. So what's

343
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:18,200
Speaker 1: the future look like in twenty four for Manzarto.

344
00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:20,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I talked with Manzardo in the ouseeason. I

345
00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:22,480
Speaker 2: have an interview posted out people can find. I spent

346
00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:23,880
Speaker 2: a lot of time talking with him, and he's a

347
00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:25,400
Speaker 2: really fascinating.

348
00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:26,360
Speaker 1: Where can everybody find that interview?

349
00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:28,320
Speaker 2: Well, if you want, you can go to my Prospect

350
00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:30,680
Speaker 2: one podcast and you can see I did some AFL

351
00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:34,080
Speaker 2: player interviews and Cole Manzardo was one of those, and

352
00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:36,240
Speaker 2: you know I talked about he had one of the

353
00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:40,200
Speaker 2: farthest balls I've ever seen hit in the AFL. It

354
00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:41,800
Speaker 2: was like, I think it was measured around like four

355
00:14:41,800 --> 00:14:44,880
Speaker 2: to eighty or just some absurd number. He almost one

356
00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:47,320
Speaker 2: bounced out of the stadium, and I was talking about

357
00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:49,760
Speaker 2: just how locked in he is and his approach. I

358
00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:52,000
Speaker 2: had noticed guys want to pitch him low. He's absolutely

359
00:14:52,040 --> 00:14:54,360
Speaker 2: destroying it, but everybody was pitching at him high. And

360
00:14:54,400 --> 00:14:57,360
Speaker 2: he had said that he's completely comfortable with the lower

361
00:14:57,400 --> 00:15:00,360
Speaker 2: half of the zone, which some power hitters struggle. It's

362
00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:03,360
Speaker 2: actually something I noted with Spencer Torkelsen some years ago,

363
00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:06,600
Speaker 2: is you would see guys going off speed low, not

364
00:15:07,880 --> 00:15:10,800
Speaker 2: Cole Manzardo. It was high stuff. So he was getting

365
00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:13,840
Speaker 2: attacked higher in the zone in the AFL, and he

366
00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:15,880
Speaker 2: had said in the miners that the coaches said, don't

367
00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:17,560
Speaker 2: worry about it, because he wasn't getting pitched in the

368
00:15:17,640 --> 00:15:19,760
Speaker 2: upper half of the zone. What does this all mean

369
00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:23,320
Speaker 2: to me? What this means is the expansion of learning

370
00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:26,320
Speaker 2: to be an even better hitter. He's already got that

371
00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:28,040
Speaker 2: bottom half of the zone which a lot of power

372
00:15:28,160 --> 00:15:30,960
Speaker 2: hitters can struggle with. So now if you can come

373
00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:33,240
Speaker 2: in and you can attack with incredible bats, speed, the

374
00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:36,160
Speaker 2: upper parts of the zone, you can succeed. Nolan Gorman

375
00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:37,960
Speaker 2: is one of those guys. I think you can see

376
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:41,800
Speaker 2: another Nolan Gorman like season out of Manzardo. But I

377
00:15:41,840 --> 00:15:44,520
Speaker 2: think the main question is are they going to let

378
00:15:44,640 --> 00:15:46,720
Speaker 2: him go from the shoot. He missed time last year

379
00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:49,280
Speaker 2: hit two thirty six in a struggle, but he still

380
00:15:49,280 --> 00:15:52,120
Speaker 2: had seventeen homers over twenty if you count the AFL

381
00:15:52,280 --> 00:15:54,680
Speaker 2: the extra at bats. I think he's ready. I think

382
00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:58,040
Speaker 2: this team should consider because they would have prospect eligibility

383
00:15:58,080 --> 00:16:00,480
Speaker 2: for the extra pick. If they do it, can go

384
00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:02,880
Speaker 2: play DH. You're putting a little bit of risk in.

385
00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:05,280
Speaker 2: But my point here is I think Cole Manzardo is

386
00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:08,000
Speaker 2: a huge power hitter that can put twenty five plus

387
00:16:08,120 --> 00:16:10,480
Speaker 2: up if he's up within the first month. And that's

388
00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:12,240
Speaker 2: why I put him up there so high because I

389
00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:14,960
Speaker 2: think defensively they like him. I think he's an advanced hitter,

390
00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:19,160
Speaker 2: he understands this process. He's actually pretty athletic as well.

391
00:16:19,240 --> 00:16:20,960
Speaker 2: And they sent two of their big prospects to the

392
00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:23,200
Speaker 2: AFL that I think both guys are going to be

393
00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:26,680
Speaker 2: potentially up this season, Manzardo and Chase a Lotter, who

394
00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:28,640
Speaker 2: did not make this list, but I'm very bullish on

395
00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:31,000
Speaker 2: Manzarto and do want to draft him if I miss

396
00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:32,920
Speaker 2: any of those big early core guys.

397
00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:35,720
Speaker 1: Next guy on the list is Mason Miller from the Oakland.

398
00:16:35,800 --> 00:16:37,520
Speaker 1: A's a guy that I know has a lot of

399
00:16:37,520 --> 00:16:40,800
Speaker 1: strikeout potential. Everybody loves the arm. Question is the durability,

400
00:16:40,920 --> 00:16:42,600
Speaker 1: and I think that's my big concern it comes to

401
00:16:42,640 --> 00:16:43,880
Speaker 1: Mason Miller. I think a lot of people will be

402
00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:46,040
Speaker 1: on him, but he could be a guy who ends

403
00:16:46,080 --> 00:16:48,200
Speaker 1: up in the bullpen. He would be end up a closer,

404
00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:51,680
Speaker 1: and that would significantly change his value depending on what

405
00:16:51,760 --> 00:16:55,160
Speaker 1: fantasy format you're playing in. I think that's probably more

406
00:16:55,320 --> 00:16:58,080
Speaker 1: likely for that, and I think that's more like when

407
00:16:58,120 --> 00:17:00,640
Speaker 1: I watch him again, you could take this comp or

408
00:17:00,680 --> 00:17:02,160
Speaker 1: whatever he is trying to comp these guys for those

409
00:17:02,160 --> 00:17:03,720
Speaker 1: people who are you know still maybe you don't play

410
00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:05,080
Speaker 1: a lot of Dynasty, play a lot of Redraft and

411
00:17:05,080 --> 00:17:06,840
Speaker 1: don't know these guys. When I watch him pitch, I

412
00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:09,159
Speaker 1: see what could be the next Joe Nathan. Like Joe

413
00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:10,960
Speaker 1: Nathan was a guy who ended up being one of

414
00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:13,760
Speaker 1: the best closers in baseball for ten years. People weren't

415
00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:15,040
Speaker 1: sure at first what to do with him, And you

416
00:17:15,080 --> 00:17:16,960
Speaker 1: know what, he found his way into the bullpen and

417
00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:19,439
Speaker 1: he ended up saving what thirty plus games nine out

418
00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:21,159
Speaker 1: of ten seasons in a row. That's pretty good. Now.

419
00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:22,600
Speaker 1: I don't know if Miller's gonna have that kind of

420
00:17:22,600 --> 00:17:24,760
Speaker 1: a career, but watching him pitch, a's who he reminds

421
00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:26,439
Speaker 1: me of if he ends up taking that role, And

422
00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:29,240
Speaker 1: I honestly think he is more likely to be in

423
00:17:29,280 --> 00:17:31,680
Speaker 1: the bullpen than making starts this year. We your thoughts.

424
00:17:31,960 --> 00:17:34,520
Speaker 2: It's already been announced that is happening. He is going

425
00:17:34,560 --> 00:17:36,720
Speaker 2: to be done with bullpeny Yeah, yeah, No. They what

426
00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:39,280
Speaker 2: they said is they aren't. They will not move him

427
00:17:39,640 --> 00:17:43,120
Speaker 2: back into a rotation until they have gotten a season

428
00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:45,199
Speaker 2: out of him because injuries have been his problem. One

429
00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:47,760
Speaker 2: of the wackiest things was he was in the AFL

430
00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:50,560
Speaker 2: two years ago. He like no innings, came in, played

431
00:17:50,560 --> 00:17:52,680
Speaker 2: a couple of games, was hitting like one oh one.

432
00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:54,720
Speaker 2: He was a talk of the AFL two years ago.

433
00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:59,159
Speaker 2: Then with like thirty pro career innings, he's up in

434
00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:01,920
Speaker 2: the majors with this team and he's pitching, and then

435
00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:04,119
Speaker 2: they brought him back down injury. Blah blah blah, so

436
00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:06,520
Speaker 2: what they've decided with this guy, and this is why

437
00:18:06,560 --> 00:18:08,760
Speaker 2: he's on this list. I'm not the biggest Mason Miller

438
00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:10,280
Speaker 2: fan on the planet.

439
00:18:09,960 --> 00:18:12,520
Speaker 1: Because as of the Winter meetings, that hadn't been decided yet.

440
00:18:12,520 --> 00:18:15,040
Speaker 1: In December, it was just as MS. Yeah, because I

441
00:18:15,040 --> 00:18:16,800
Speaker 1: heard all the gms talking about the winter meetings. They

442
00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:18,680
Speaker 1: have the oclad A's GM and they were talking about

443
00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:20,800
Speaker 1: what to do with him and uh and they were

444
00:18:20,840 --> 00:18:23,600
Speaker 1: still kind of debating that topic and going through there.

445
00:18:23,640 --> 00:18:25,080
Speaker 1: So that is recent news that's happening.

446
00:18:25,240 --> 00:18:27,240
Speaker 2: The expectation is he will not be a starter at

447
00:18:27,240 --> 00:18:28,960
Speaker 2: all this year. He will be in the bullpen. And

448
00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:31,800
Speaker 2: if he's in the bullpen, he's a closer. I don't know,

449
00:18:31,960 --> 00:18:34,400
Speaker 2: maybe it's not from day one, but the guy hits

450
00:18:34,440 --> 00:18:37,240
Speaker 2: a hundred, he's got a power breaking ball with a

451
00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:40,439
Speaker 2: huge fastball, and they've had like Trevor may being the

452
00:18:40,800 --> 00:18:42,080
Speaker 2: so but reasonly.

453
00:18:41,760 --> 00:18:43,320
Speaker 1: You're too Welsh because you don't want to do that

454
00:18:43,359 --> 00:18:45,119
Speaker 1: same thing where you where you have a guy get

455
00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:47,120
Speaker 1: up and down a million times who's got army issues.

456
00:18:47,240 --> 00:18:49,400
Speaker 1: You want to have him go out there, get his routine,

457
00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:52,080
Speaker 1: get a clean three outs, get a clean inning, and

458
00:18:52,119 --> 00:18:53,920
Speaker 1: then get ready for tomorrow if you need him and

459
00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:55,920
Speaker 1: then be able to say, Okay, he's not available after

460
00:18:56,200 --> 00:18:58,360
Speaker 1: two days or three days in a row, you can

461
00:18:58,480 --> 00:19:02,040
Speaker 1: manage the concerns about the health of that arm. If

462
00:19:02,040 --> 00:19:02,840
Speaker 1: he is the closer.

463
00:19:03,040 --> 00:19:04,879
Speaker 2: Yeah, And the only reason to not put him in

464
00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:07,520
Speaker 2: a closer role is if you don't want to build

465
00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:09,880
Speaker 2: him up in that spot where you're gonna then take

466
00:19:09,960 --> 00:19:12,200
Speaker 2: him out into the following year. So that's a possibility.

467
00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:15,600
Speaker 2: So why he's high on this list and we're talking

468
00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:17,719
Speaker 2: about twenty twenty four prospects that you have to have

469
00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:20,960
Speaker 2: is because he might be a closer out the gates

470
00:19:21,119 --> 00:19:23,439
Speaker 2: or at least three fourths of the season. It's the

471
00:19:23,480 --> 00:19:26,679
Speaker 2: A's they stink, how many opportunities. But this is a

472
00:19:26,680 --> 00:19:30,320
Speaker 2: guy that you can get cheap, cheap saves while people

473
00:19:30,359 --> 00:19:33,360
Speaker 2: are not necessarily projecting or him being projected as a closer.

474
00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:35,879
Speaker 2: I think he will be the entire year. He's locked

475
00:19:35,920 --> 00:19:38,920
Speaker 2: into the bullpen. That's why are we usually chasing this. No,

476
00:19:39,320 --> 00:19:42,560
Speaker 2: but this is the best option of a young prospect

477
00:19:42,640 --> 00:19:46,280
Speaker 2: that could be closing the entire season. So he makes

478
00:19:46,320 --> 00:19:49,600
Speaker 2: this list. You should own him. Get some cheap saves

479
00:19:49,640 --> 00:19:50,120
Speaker 2: when you can.

480
00:19:50,520 --> 00:19:52,560
Speaker 1: I'll tell you this too. Like in Dynasty Leagues, I

481
00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:54,119
Speaker 1: think this is just going to be his future. I

482
00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:57,000
Speaker 1: did too. I don't think he's going to be a

483
00:19:57,040 --> 00:19:59,840
Speaker 1: starting pitcher. I just don't see that in his future. Again,

484
00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:03,040
Speaker 1: Electric the velocity is real. We all know that. But

485
00:20:03,280 --> 00:20:05,800
Speaker 1: you know he is only valuable if you can get

486
00:20:05,840 --> 00:20:07,639
Speaker 1: innings out of him. And it's better to get the

487
00:20:08,359 --> 00:20:11,119
Speaker 1: sixty five innings out of the closer role than it

488
00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:12,680
Speaker 1: is to try to push him to one hundred and

489
00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:14,280
Speaker 1: sixty and end up getting zero at the end of

490
00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:14,600
Speaker 1: the day.

491
00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:18,280
Speaker 2: Anybody, the only argument will be like, you don't want

492
00:20:18,320 --> 00:20:20,840
Speaker 2: to You don't want to monopolize all of your really

493
00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:24,080
Speaker 2: great talented pitchers immediately into that. But I think there's

494
00:20:24,080 --> 00:20:26,439
Speaker 2: a longer track over. The Diamondbacks did this with Archie Bradley.

495
00:20:26,440 --> 00:20:28,399
Speaker 2: They just kept fighting and fighting and then it was like,

496
00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:31,040
Speaker 2: can't stay healthy, he can't go multiple innings. And I

497
00:20:31,040 --> 00:20:33,199
Speaker 2: think that that might be what we're coming to terms with.

498
00:20:33,280 --> 00:20:35,800
Speaker 2: This team is coming to terms with is get this

499
00:20:35,920 --> 00:20:39,959
Speaker 2: big future closer, but just be weary that The last

500
00:20:40,040 --> 00:20:43,280
Speaker 2: resort many many times for teams is to make that

501
00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:46,240
Speaker 2: transition so they can't be like you want these guys

502
00:20:46,240 --> 00:20:48,199
Speaker 2: to be starters. The best value is that they are

503
00:20:48,240 --> 00:20:51,440
Speaker 2: a starter. But if they making this move, in my mind,

504
00:20:51,520 --> 00:20:53,720
Speaker 2: this tells me like, oh, they don't believe that he

505
00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:55,840
Speaker 2: can hold up over one hundred innings based on his

506
00:20:56,040 --> 00:20:58,280
Speaker 2: arm and what he does, and that's why we want

507
00:20:58,320 --> 00:20:59,600
Speaker 2: to invest, and that's why I think he can be

508
00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:01,000
Speaker 2: a closer for the majority of the year.

509
00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:03,720
Speaker 1: Next on our list, number five Kyle Harrison, starting pitcher

510
00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:06,960
Speaker 1: of the San Francisco Giants. Now, Harrison got thirty four

511
00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:09,840
Speaker 1: innings last year at the age of twenty one. Struck

512
00:21:09,840 --> 00:21:12,480
Speaker 1: out thirty five guys just eleven walks in thirty four innings.

513
00:21:12,840 --> 00:21:15,280
Speaker 1: He had the FIP of five point five to three

514
00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:17,480
Speaker 1: and a whip of one point one five So obviously

515
00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:20,320
Speaker 1: some wacky things going on there. Era was about four

516
00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:22,400
Speaker 1: in change, But again it's first thirty four innings. Which

517
00:21:22,440 --> 00:21:25,200
Speaker 1: you like about Harrison, you know, is he is kind

518
00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:27,639
Speaker 1: of like an old school drop and drive pitcher, you know,

519
00:21:27,800 --> 00:21:29,960
Speaker 1: really using the legs. You see a lot of these

520
00:21:29,960 --> 00:21:31,880
Speaker 1: guys with these big arm actions and things like that.

521
00:21:31,960 --> 00:21:34,480
Speaker 1: This is not Kyle Harrison. Kyle Harrison to me, when

522
00:21:34,520 --> 00:21:37,240
Speaker 1: you watch him, it's really strong in the lower half,

523
00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:39,280
Speaker 1: and I think this is the kind of guy that

524
00:21:39,480 --> 00:21:41,200
Speaker 1: long term is going to have a lot of good

525
00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:44,439
Speaker 1: durability because that is an old style of pitching that

526
00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:46,679
Speaker 1: you saw more in the sixties and seventies even in

527
00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:49,040
Speaker 1: through the eighties of that drop and drive Nolan Ryan

528
00:21:49,119 --> 00:21:51,600
Speaker 1: style kind of thing where they're using that lower half,

529
00:21:51,640 --> 00:21:53,240
Speaker 1: and I think that is a great thing to see

530
00:21:53,280 --> 00:21:55,080
Speaker 1: here out of this young man, and I think that

531
00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:59,120
Speaker 1: bodes well for him making more starts than you might realize,

532
00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:01,040
Speaker 1: not just in twenty four but also beyond. What are

533
00:22:01,080 --> 00:22:03,280
Speaker 1: your thoughts on Harrison and the contributions he can make

534
00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:05,680
Speaker 1: not only to the Giants but the fantasy rotations this year.

535
00:22:05,840 --> 00:22:07,919
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think the big key here is that, like

536
00:22:08,119 --> 00:22:10,560
Speaker 2: the you have, you have the ability to be a

537
00:22:10,560 --> 00:22:12,320
Speaker 2: starter and maybe for the majority of the year, because

538
00:22:12,359 --> 00:22:14,640
Speaker 2: you know, they also they made trades for like Robbie Ray,

539
00:22:14,680 --> 00:22:17,160
Speaker 2: who's gonna probably not come into like the back half

540
00:22:17,160 --> 00:22:19,199
Speaker 2: of the season. There's a lot of injuries that are

541
00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:21,119
Speaker 2: going to go on there, and Kyle Harrison was a

542
00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:23,280
Speaker 2: guy that they kind of thrust into that role on

543
00:22:23,320 --> 00:22:26,520
Speaker 2: the back half of last year. The results weren't incredible,

544
00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:29,040
Speaker 2: but he still had an almost twenty four percent K percentage.

545
00:22:29,119 --> 00:22:31,560
Speaker 2: I've never been the biggest, biggest fan because you know,

546
00:22:31,920 --> 00:22:34,520
Speaker 2: he had similarities to Brandon Fought in the miners when

547
00:22:34,520 --> 00:22:36,200
Speaker 2: they were both there. They were both like really really

548
00:22:36,359 --> 00:22:39,560
Speaker 2: high K guys, and Fought has a sweeper where it's

549
00:22:39,600 --> 00:22:43,040
Speaker 2: designated as like a slurve type of slider for Kyle Harrison,

550
00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:46,639
Speaker 2: and Fots was a lot better. Kyle Harrison had massive

551
00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:51,160
Speaker 2: walk issues, but huge stuff plus numbers because the fastball

552
00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:54,119
Speaker 2: plays even though it didn't absolutely fly here. It was

553
00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:56,240
Speaker 2: right around ninety four miles poor, but had a really

554
00:22:56,240 --> 00:22:58,919
Speaker 2: good wifth percentage around twenty five percent, which is very

555
00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:01,640
Speaker 2: high for a fastball. It's going to be the secondaries

556
00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:05,320
Speaker 2: and really just the command locking in. But here's the

557
00:23:05,400 --> 00:23:09,159
Speaker 2: key high strikeout pitcher on a team that is going

558
00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:11,720
Speaker 2: to give him the innings to be a starter. So

559
00:23:11,920 --> 00:23:14,480
Speaker 2: if you want to chase some strikeouts, this is why

560
00:23:14,520 --> 00:23:16,679
Speaker 2: you do that move. You can have that translation of

561
00:23:16,800 --> 00:23:19,480
Speaker 2: you know, logan web kind of rubbing off. Giants have

562
00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:21,480
Speaker 2: always done really well with getting the most out of

563
00:23:21,480 --> 00:23:24,960
Speaker 2: their pitchers, So I think this is a strikeout chase play.

564
00:23:25,160 --> 00:23:28,080
Speaker 2: We're moving down the list, but this is a prospect

565
00:23:28,119 --> 00:23:31,160
Speaker 2: that you should have in your rotation, especially if you've

566
00:23:31,160 --> 00:23:33,679
Speaker 2: missed out on strikeouts. Hell, if you went safe and

567
00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:36,320
Speaker 2: you got the George Kirby's and Logan web Let's say,

568
00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:39,960
Speaker 2: and you've got this huge floor of pitchers that lack strikeouts,

569
00:23:40,119 --> 00:23:42,320
Speaker 2: you should chase some strikeouts. He's one of the better

570
00:23:42,359 --> 00:23:46,560
Speaker 2: strikeout chasers to go for in the lower lower rounds.

571
00:23:46,760 --> 00:23:48,639
Speaker 2: And this is a prospect that you should, you know,

572
00:23:48,800 --> 00:23:51,119
Speaker 2: probably get just to He might end up being a

573
00:23:52,160 --> 00:23:54,320
Speaker 2: streamer at the end of the day, but if they

574
00:23:54,320 --> 00:23:56,720
Speaker 2: are giving him the full bore, you might have a

575
00:23:56,800 --> 00:23:59,879
Speaker 2: ten you know, a ten K per nine high K

576
00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:02,320
Speaker 2: percentage type of player out of him. That can help you, know,

577
00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:03,360
Speaker 2: some of your ratios.

578
00:24:03,480 --> 00:24:05,240
Speaker 1: I'll say this too. You know some of those lefties,

579
00:24:05,280 --> 00:24:07,040
Speaker 1: they take a little bit longer in the cooker, you

580
00:24:07,080 --> 00:24:09,480
Speaker 1: know that just that's just the nature of the beast,

581
00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:12,280
Speaker 1: sometimes just the mechanics of it. But I just really

582
00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:15,240
Speaker 1: like his style of pitching. I like Harrison a lot.

583
00:24:15,280 --> 00:24:16,480
Speaker 1: I think this is going to be one of those guys.

584
00:24:16,480 --> 00:24:17,920
Speaker 1: And you mentioned you the Giants have a good track

585
00:24:17,960 --> 00:24:21,600
Speaker 1: record with these guys and good positive ballpark factor for

586
00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:22,959
Speaker 1: him as well. So a lot of things I think

587
00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:25,040
Speaker 1: to like there, especially those deeper leagues where you're desert

588
00:24:25,040 --> 00:24:25,440
Speaker 1: for pitching.

589
00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:27,680
Speaker 2: And you know what great point talking about the ballpark factor,

590
00:24:27,680 --> 00:24:29,760
Speaker 2: because it is it is a friendly environment. And the

591
00:24:29,760 --> 00:24:32,000
Speaker 2: thing to remember about a lot of his minor league

592
00:24:32,040 --> 00:24:34,399
Speaker 2: stats was that he was pitching in the PCL and

593
00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:37,800
Speaker 2: the PCL is a known disaster, and that was actually

594
00:24:37,840 --> 00:24:39,480
Speaker 2: one of the reasons to love Brandon Fought was because

595
00:24:39,480 --> 00:24:41,680
Speaker 2: he was so dominant in the PCL. Kyle Harrison got

596
00:24:41,680 --> 00:24:44,160
Speaker 2: beat around. But you're now going in and you're now

597
00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:46,399
Speaker 2: going into a great pitcher environment. Which one other thing

598
00:24:46,440 --> 00:24:49,119
Speaker 2: I want to point out, he's the only lefty currently

599
00:24:49,160 --> 00:24:52,120
Speaker 2: locked into the rotation according to roster resource, so he's

600
00:24:52,160 --> 00:24:54,000
Speaker 2: not going anywhere. The only thing that's going to hold

601
00:24:54,080 --> 00:24:56,600
Speaker 2: him back is maybe some type of innings cap. But

602
00:24:56,800 --> 00:24:58,479
Speaker 2: you're going to get one hundred and thirty hundred and

603
00:24:58,480 --> 00:25:01,520
Speaker 2: forty plus out of Harrison with really good strikeout. So yeah,

604
00:25:01,560 --> 00:25:03,000
Speaker 2: this is a good chase. And there's not a lot

605
00:25:03,040 --> 00:25:06,560
Speaker 2: of great prospect pitchers to chase in redraft leagues. He

606
00:25:06,760 --> 00:25:07,520
Speaker 2: is one of them, though.

607
00:25:07,560 --> 00:25:09,240
Speaker 1: All Right, if you like players that play with their

608
00:25:09,240 --> 00:25:11,600
Speaker 1: hair on fire, then I give you Pete Crow Armstrong.

609
00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:14,679
Speaker 1: That's that's that guy. He's a very excitable guy. I

610
00:25:14,800 --> 00:25:17,320
Speaker 1: like that about him. A lot of energy, gives you

611
00:25:17,359 --> 00:25:19,720
Speaker 1: some power, gives you some speed, gives you too many

612
00:25:19,760 --> 00:25:22,560
Speaker 1: strikeouts for my liking. Personally, I think that's something he's

613
00:25:22,600 --> 00:25:24,000
Speaker 1: got to work on. But he's just gonna be twenty

614
00:25:24,040 --> 00:25:27,560
Speaker 1: two years old. Chicago Cubs have certainly an energetic player.

615
00:25:27,560 --> 00:25:29,960
Speaker 1: I think this is a player that would be extremely

616
00:25:30,080 --> 00:25:33,480
Speaker 1: popular as the Chicago Cub fan base gets a little

617
00:25:33,520 --> 00:25:36,040
Speaker 1: bit more of a taste of him. Like I said,

618
00:25:36,160 --> 00:25:39,560
Speaker 1: plays hard, that's what you love. Still very young, I think,

619
00:25:39,680 --> 00:25:41,800
Speaker 1: still a little rough around the edges for me. But

620
00:25:42,560 --> 00:25:44,719
Speaker 1: the Cubs are a team that proved last year. They

621
00:25:44,720 --> 00:25:47,560
Speaker 1: are starting to get back into relevance. So how much

622
00:25:47,680 --> 00:25:50,399
Speaker 1: of a role is Crow Armstrong going to play in

623
00:25:50,440 --> 00:25:51,879
Speaker 1: the cubs twenty twenty four season.

624
00:25:52,359 --> 00:25:54,520
Speaker 2: Well see that Okay here, that's a big question, and

625
00:25:54,560 --> 00:25:56,199
Speaker 2: that's why we have I think a little bit more

626
00:25:56,200 --> 00:25:59,200
Speaker 2: of a marker in him. In the minors, Pete Crow

627
00:25:59,280 --> 00:26:03,960
Speaker 2: was fantastic. Twenty homers, almost forty stolen bases, attempted forty seven.

628
00:26:04,040 --> 00:26:07,080
Speaker 2: He ended up taking down thirty seven hit two eighty

629
00:26:07,119 --> 00:26:09,800
Speaker 2: three in Double A, he hit two eighty nine. In

630
00:26:09,880 --> 00:26:13,080
Speaker 2: Triple A he hit two seventy one. Pretty good OBP

631
00:26:13,320 --> 00:26:16,080
Speaker 2: as well, not quite one hundred points, but around seventy

632
00:26:16,160 --> 00:26:16,960
Speaker 2: to ninety.

633
00:26:16,880 --> 00:26:19,960
Speaker 1: Great defenders a plus defender too, So that's something I

634
00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:22,880
Speaker 1: think that helps you get more opportunities.

635
00:26:22,920 --> 00:26:27,880
Speaker 2: Should I say plus defender? Right now? This team has

636
00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:33,240
Speaker 2: Mike Takman locked in on roster resource as their center fielder. Nope,

637
00:26:33,400 --> 00:26:37,320
Speaker 2: not going to happen. Bigger question is if Cody Bellinger

638
00:26:37,359 --> 00:26:40,000
Speaker 2: signs back, where do they put him. I think they

639
00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:43,480
Speaker 2: put him at first, which moves Michael Bush and Christopher

640
00:26:43,560 --> 00:26:47,040
Speaker 2: Morel if he doesn't get moved into a split rotational

641
00:26:47,119 --> 00:26:51,520
Speaker 2: DH spot and it puts Piekrow Armstrong in center field.

642
00:26:51,560 --> 00:26:54,560
Speaker 2: I think the contact skills are there. He clearly can run,

643
00:26:54,760 --> 00:26:57,520
Speaker 2: he can hit a bit. Even if things come back down,

644
00:26:57,880 --> 00:26:59,720
Speaker 2: I would not be shocked if you're looking at a

645
00:26:59,720 --> 00:27:02,920
Speaker 2: fifth teen twenty season out of him. Maybe it's ten

646
00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:05,520
Speaker 2: twenty five or something like that. If he's hitting lower

647
00:27:05,520 --> 00:27:07,359
Speaker 2: in the order, it's not the best thing in the world,

648
00:27:07,400 --> 00:27:10,080
Speaker 2: but he's a power speed combo going near the back

649
00:27:10,160 --> 00:27:12,000
Speaker 2: end of drafts, and one of the things holding him

650
00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:14,600
Speaker 2: back is just people are a little bit unsure. But again,

651
00:27:14,880 --> 00:27:17,400
Speaker 2: Mike Takman is the guy. And I also don't think

652
00:27:17,400 --> 00:27:20,480
Speaker 2: if Bellinger were to resign and they put Bellinger in centerfield,

653
00:27:20,520 --> 00:27:23,480
Speaker 2: which is a possibility, that Michael Bush is going to

654
00:27:23,520 --> 00:27:26,359
Speaker 2: be the reason that Pete Crow Armstrong isn't up. Michael

655
00:27:26,400 --> 00:27:29,880
Speaker 2: Bush is a good bat, but the play here Bellinger

656
00:27:29,920 --> 00:27:34,359
Speaker 2: at first, Bush at DH, Pete Crow Armstrong in center field.

657
00:27:34,400 --> 00:27:37,320
Speaker 2: That's how you play it. And that is a cheap, outfield,

658
00:27:37,560 --> 00:27:40,119
Speaker 2: stolen based semi power option that you can get in

659
00:27:40,200 --> 00:27:42,480
Speaker 2: drafts this year. And I think people just kind of

660
00:27:42,480 --> 00:27:43,960
Speaker 2: sleep on Pete Crow and I wouldn't.

661
00:27:44,280 --> 00:27:47,240
Speaker 1: No, I wouldn't either, And it is gonna be interesting.

662
00:27:47,240 --> 00:27:48,680
Speaker 1: I can't believe we're still here. We don't have Cody

663
00:27:48,720 --> 00:27:51,840
Speaker 1: Bellinger stuff yet. It's the sixteenth of January, folks, What

664
00:27:51,880 --> 00:27:52,520
Speaker 1: are we doing here?

665
00:27:52,560 --> 00:27:54,240
Speaker 2: Again? Maybe and maybe he's signed by the time you

666
00:27:54,240 --> 00:27:56,200
Speaker 2: guys are listening to this, you guys know the answer

667
00:27:56,280 --> 00:27:56,560
Speaker 2: or something.

668
00:27:56,600 --> 00:27:58,919
Speaker 1: We say this and then we'll have more clarity. But regardless,

669
00:27:59,040 --> 00:28:02,280
Speaker 1: I think you're assessment is correct. And I think Morell

670
00:28:02,359 --> 00:28:03,960
Speaker 1: has a lot of value to other teams because of

671
00:28:03,960 --> 00:28:06,000
Speaker 1: his versatility. So I think some other team will be

672
00:28:06,040 --> 00:28:07,440
Speaker 1: happy to take him off the Cub's hands, and I

673
00:28:07,480 --> 00:28:10,399
Speaker 1: think that all works out for everybody involved, including Morel,

674
00:28:10,520 --> 00:28:13,800
Speaker 1: the Cubs Bellinger, which again it just makes sense for

675
00:28:13,840 --> 00:28:16,080
Speaker 1: him to go back there. Let's go to Jordan Lawler,

676
00:28:16,520 --> 00:28:19,880
Speaker 1: another one of your guys here, well, Arizona diamondback last

677
00:28:19,960 --> 00:28:21,720
Speaker 1: year got fourteen games with the big club, hitches the

678
00:28:21,720 --> 00:28:23,720
Speaker 1: buck twenty nine, So you gotta go a little bit deeper.

679
00:28:23,800 --> 00:28:25,480
Speaker 1: Last year he did play one hundred and five games

680
00:28:25,520 --> 00:28:29,360
Speaker 1: between double and triple A, twenty homer, sixty seven ribby's,

681
00:28:29,440 --> 00:28:32,520
Speaker 1: he had to say, seventy eight batting average, eight seventy

682
00:28:32,560 --> 00:28:37,280
Speaker 1: four ops. So what's your assessment of Lawler? And do

683
00:28:37,359 --> 00:28:39,920
Speaker 1: you believe that this guy is ready to take a

684
00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:42,440
Speaker 1: step here and after getting a little cup of coffee

685
00:28:42,520 --> 00:28:45,320
Speaker 1: with the big club last year, starting to look like

686
00:28:45,400 --> 00:28:47,160
Speaker 1: maybe he belongs in twenty twenty four.

687
00:28:47,440 --> 00:28:52,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, So I believe in deeper dynasty prospects because we're talking,

688
00:28:53,080 --> 00:28:54,920
Speaker 2: you know, like this year prospects you guys want to

689
00:28:54,960 --> 00:28:57,440
Speaker 2: own for twenty twenty four, re draft leagues and stuff

690
00:28:57,480 --> 00:29:01,400
Speaker 2: like that, Deeper leagues buying Jordan Lawler. Prospect fatigue is

691
00:29:01,560 --> 00:29:05,239
Speaker 2: in he made his debut, didn't do anything, didn't really

692
00:29:05,280 --> 00:29:07,640
Speaker 2: get an opportunity. Even though he was on the playoff roster.

693
00:29:07,720 --> 00:29:09,840
Speaker 2: We never saw anything out of him. And people are like, Oh,

694
00:29:09,920 --> 00:29:11,960
Speaker 2: he's just not that good and he hit like nothing,

695
00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:14,840
Speaker 2: he's struck. Blah blah blah. You're forgetting like the total

696
00:29:14,880 --> 00:29:17,080
Speaker 2: package and also just the bounce back that these guys have.

697
00:29:17,160 --> 00:29:19,640
Speaker 2: It means nothing to me. Thirty one at bats in

698
00:29:19,680 --> 00:29:22,560
Speaker 2: the majors means absolutely nothing to me. He had twenty

699
00:29:22,600 --> 00:29:25,920
Speaker 2: homers with thirty six stolen bases in the miners. Two

700
00:29:26,080 --> 00:29:28,520
Speaker 2: seventy batting average this past year is very similar to

701
00:29:28,600 --> 00:29:31,200
Speaker 2: Pete crow Armstrong. He hit two sixty three in double

702
00:29:31,240 --> 00:29:34,840
Speaker 2: A PCL. Things get inflated, he hit three p fifty eight.

703
00:29:35,280 --> 00:29:38,880
Speaker 2: I believe there is more power potential with Jordan Lawler.

704
00:29:39,160 --> 00:29:41,960
Speaker 2: I believe there is more stolen base potential with Jordan

705
00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:44,280
Speaker 2: Lawler versus Pete crow Armstrong. By the way, I wasn't

706
00:29:44,320 --> 00:29:48,200
Speaker 2: making that clear power speed better combo with Jordan Lawler.

707
00:29:48,400 --> 00:29:52,160
Speaker 2: The question is do the Diamondbacks unleash him. They signed

708
00:29:52,200 --> 00:29:56,640
Speaker 2: Johenio Suarez, and that creates a wrinkle because some people

709
00:29:56,640 --> 00:29:59,760
Speaker 2: thought he might be the third Baseman Lawler. They've got Perdomo,

710
00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:03,960
Speaker 2: who was an All Star last year. Hitting metrics absolutely stink.

711
00:30:04,080 --> 00:30:06,360
Speaker 2: Expected numbers look like they're gonna go like that, but

712
00:30:06,400 --> 00:30:08,640
Speaker 2: he was still an All Star, so he looks blocked.

713
00:30:08,920 --> 00:30:10,760
Speaker 2: Think people are gonna get this wrong this year. And

714
00:30:10,760 --> 00:30:12,880
Speaker 2: the only reason I have him behind Pete Crow Armstrong

715
00:30:12,960 --> 00:30:15,280
Speaker 2: is I think the path is harder for him to

716
00:30:15,400 --> 00:30:17,960
Speaker 2: produce this year, but I think it is very much

717
00:30:17,960 --> 00:30:19,719
Speaker 2: in the realm of possibility that they get him four

718
00:30:19,800 --> 00:30:22,360
Speaker 2: hundred plus at bats. They could move Suarez to DH

719
00:30:22,360 --> 00:30:25,240
Speaker 2: at times, they can let him play short and third.

720
00:30:25,440 --> 00:30:27,360
Speaker 2: I think they're going to get those at bats for

721
00:30:27,440 --> 00:30:29,280
Speaker 2: Lawa this year, and I think we're going to see

722
00:30:29,280 --> 00:30:32,040
Speaker 2: a bounce back. He's a super smart hitter, crazy aggressive.

723
00:30:32,160 --> 00:30:34,400
Speaker 2: He can be aggressive as far as like strikeouts go,

724
00:30:34,640 --> 00:30:37,360
Speaker 2: but he's aggressive on the base paths. He's got twenty

725
00:30:37,360 --> 00:30:39,200
Speaker 2: plus power, and I think you can get four hundred

726
00:30:39,240 --> 00:30:41,640
Speaker 2: plus at bats and he is dirt cheap because no

727
00:30:41,640 --> 00:30:44,400
Speaker 2: one sees a job for him, so Redraft, I'm not

728
00:30:44,440 --> 00:30:46,600
Speaker 2: going nuts, but I do think he's gonna get more

729
00:30:46,640 --> 00:30:49,120
Speaker 2: at bats than you think. And in Dynasty, I am

730
00:30:49,120 --> 00:30:52,280
Speaker 2: buying on Jordan Lawler because prospect fatigue is the realest

731
00:30:52,320 --> 00:30:55,280
Speaker 2: thing ever in dynasty leagues. And people don't care about

732
00:30:55,320 --> 00:30:57,680
Speaker 2: Lawla right now. They don't care about Pete Crow Armstrong

733
00:30:57,720 --> 00:31:00,560
Speaker 2: because they didn't produce. Everyone loves Noelvie Welvy is the

734
00:31:00,600 --> 00:31:03,680
Speaker 2: new biggest thing ever. But watch Jordan Lawler out produced

735
00:31:03,680 --> 00:31:03,960
Speaker 2: as well.

736
00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:06,600
Speaker 1: So young still, I mean they're both. I mean we're

737
00:31:06,600 --> 00:31:10,680
Speaker 1: talking about early twenties here. I mean, have we learned

738
00:31:10,680 --> 00:31:12,320
Speaker 1: nothing of looking at some of these guys that it's

739
00:31:12,360 --> 00:31:14,239
Speaker 1: taken just a little bit longer for and they end

740
00:31:14,280 --> 00:31:16,320
Speaker 1: up having really good careers. It happens all the time.

741
00:31:16,600 --> 00:31:19,800
Speaker 1: The patience is lacking because, as you said, the hype

742
00:31:19,920 --> 00:31:22,080
Speaker 1: is just so much on these guys so early that

743
00:31:22,520 --> 00:31:24,480
Speaker 1: we feel like, look, we've been talking I even mentioned

744
00:31:24,560 --> 00:31:26,600
Speaker 1: about Marte. Well that's a guy I've been talking about

745
00:31:26,600 --> 00:31:28,560
Speaker 1: for four or five years now. Well you know, like

746
00:31:28,680 --> 00:31:31,160
Speaker 1: you know, it's he's still a kid. He's still just

747
00:31:31,160 --> 00:31:32,800
Speaker 1: a kid. So keep that in mind with some of

748
00:31:32,840 --> 00:31:35,120
Speaker 1: these guys. Patience pays off. A lot of people had

749
00:31:35,120 --> 00:31:38,360
Speaker 1: patients with Spencer Torkelsen paid off last year. There's a

750
00:31:38,400 --> 00:31:41,160
Speaker 1: perfect example of a guy.

751
00:31:39,320 --> 00:31:42,600
Speaker 2: Who I think another one of those.

752
00:31:42,680 --> 00:31:49,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, next guy, Colt Keith of the Detroit Tigers infielder here. Now,

753
00:31:49,320 --> 00:31:52,680
Speaker 1: Keith is an interesting guy too, left handed batu The

754
00:31:52,720 --> 00:31:54,640
Speaker 1: swing reminds me of Jim Edmonds a little bit. The

755
00:31:54,640 --> 00:31:57,160
Speaker 1: follow through just if you kind of did like a

756
00:31:57,200 --> 00:31:59,600
Speaker 1: little copy and paste there, a little job there in

757
00:31:59,600 --> 00:32:01,760
Speaker 1: the sillo. I think it reminds you a lot about him.

758
00:32:02,240 --> 00:32:04,920
Speaker 1: Keith obviously last year played at Double A, Triple A.

759
00:32:05,000 --> 00:32:07,280
Speaker 1: They combined one hundred and twenty six games, hit three

760
00:32:07,400 --> 00:32:09,800
Speaker 1: zero six a, three eighty OBP of five fifty two,

761
00:32:09,880 --> 00:32:12,760
Speaker 1: slugging everything you're looking for, had twenty seven homers, drove

762
00:32:12,760 --> 00:32:15,320
Speaker 1: in one hundred and one runs. Really solid there. Yeah,

763
00:32:15,320 --> 00:32:17,160
Speaker 1: he strikes out, you know, one hundred and twenty one

764
00:32:17,200 --> 00:32:19,400
Speaker 1: k's and one hundred and twenty six games. That's you know,

765
00:32:19,640 --> 00:32:22,240
Speaker 1: about what you're looking at most of these sluggers nowadays.

766
00:32:22,240 --> 00:32:24,480
Speaker 1: But this is a bat that I feel like the

767
00:32:24,520 --> 00:32:27,160
Speaker 1: Detroit Tigers could desperately need. They need more help in

768
00:32:27,200 --> 00:32:29,400
Speaker 1: that offense, and they need it now. It can't just

769
00:32:29,440 --> 00:32:33,120
Speaker 1: be Torklesen. There's opportunity there, and they've got a couple

770
00:32:33,120 --> 00:32:34,840
Speaker 1: of these guys there. Riley Green, like all these guys

771
00:32:34,880 --> 00:32:38,360
Speaker 1: were waiting on here. Torklesen finally delivered. Now it's time

772
00:32:38,360 --> 00:32:39,600
Speaker 1: for the rest of these guys to come through. Is

773
00:32:39,680 --> 00:32:40,880
Speaker 1: Keith the next guy to come through?

774
00:32:40,960 --> 00:32:42,320
Speaker 2: He was one of those guys that a lot of

775
00:32:42,400 --> 00:32:44,600
Speaker 2: us that paid attention to prospects were kind of screaming

776
00:32:44,640 --> 00:32:47,320
Speaker 2: about last year. Why wasn't he up? Why did they

777
00:32:47,360 --> 00:32:49,240
Speaker 2: not let him have a little bit of a run.

778
00:32:49,360 --> 00:32:50,840
Speaker 2: I'll say I saw him a couple of years in

779
00:32:50,840 --> 00:32:52,960
Speaker 2: the AFL a couple of years ago. There's some video

780
00:32:52,960 --> 00:32:54,479
Speaker 2: if you guys want to search my Twitter at as

781
00:32:54,520 --> 00:32:56,320
Speaker 2: it the Wels, you can watch a couple homers and

782
00:32:56,320 --> 00:32:58,720
Speaker 2: stuff like that. It's a beautiful swing, it's a beautiful approach.

783
00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:01,440
Speaker 2: There's power. It was kind of breakout campaign. And then

784
00:33:01,440 --> 00:33:03,960
Speaker 2: this past year obviously two straight years now of hitting

785
00:33:04,040 --> 00:33:07,520
Speaker 2: over three hundred. He almost hit thirty homers this year,

786
00:33:07,920 --> 00:33:10,320
Speaker 2: but defensively he struggled. When he was out here in

787
00:33:10,360 --> 00:33:12,600
Speaker 2: the AFL, they had him playing third base and that

788
00:33:12,920 --> 00:33:14,920
Speaker 2: could be a home for him, though I thought he

789
00:33:15,040 --> 00:33:17,280
Speaker 2: kind of stunk there. They bought him play first base.

790
00:33:17,280 --> 00:33:19,760
Speaker 2: You're not gonna play there with Torkosen, but second base

791
00:33:19,880 --> 00:33:24,480
Speaker 2: is another thing. Currently, roster resource has Matt Vierling as

792
00:33:24,480 --> 00:33:27,760
Speaker 2: the third baseman and Zach McKinstry as the second baseman.

793
00:33:28,000 --> 00:33:31,840
Speaker 2: I don't think either one of those necessarily are going

794
00:33:31,840 --> 00:33:34,560
Speaker 2: to block Colt Keith. Now, if they want it to

795
00:33:34,600 --> 00:33:37,280
Speaker 2: and they want to manipulate service time and stuff like that, sure,

796
00:33:37,360 --> 00:33:40,480
Speaker 2: okay they could. But there's a path on both sides

797
00:33:40,520 --> 00:33:42,600
Speaker 2: of those. And here's the other thing. Colt Keith does

798
00:33:42,640 --> 00:33:45,640
Speaker 2: have versatility. His arm isn't great, but he could play third,

799
00:33:45,680 --> 00:33:48,080
Speaker 2: he could play second, he could play first. That's what

800
00:33:48,160 --> 00:33:51,000
Speaker 2: mckinstrey does, that's what Virlin can do. So if the

801
00:33:51,040 --> 00:33:53,680
Speaker 2: team wants to make the commitment, maybe take a shot

802
00:33:53,800 --> 00:33:56,760
Speaker 2: at that player pool extra player pool money. If he

803
00:33:56,800 --> 00:33:58,360
Speaker 2: were to win Rookie of the Year. I think so.

804
00:33:58,760 --> 00:34:01,640
Speaker 2: And he's a big power bat that has good batting average.

805
00:34:01,680 --> 00:34:03,880
Speaker 2: He's a big force to this lineup, and I think

806
00:34:03,920 --> 00:34:05,720
Speaker 2: they want to try to win. If they want to

807
00:34:05,720 --> 00:34:08,000
Speaker 2: commit to winning, I think they give Colt Keith a shot.

808
00:34:08,080 --> 00:34:10,279
Speaker 2: So pay attention to him in spring, take him at

809
00:34:10,320 --> 00:34:12,680
Speaker 2: the end of drafts because it's a good power bet

810
00:34:12,760 --> 00:34:15,600
Speaker 2: with solid batting average. And imagine if he's hitting like

811
00:34:15,600 --> 00:34:18,120
Speaker 2: five or six behind Torque and Rightley Green. I mean

812
00:34:18,120 --> 00:34:20,160
Speaker 2: that's a pretty good front end that this team is

813
00:34:20,160 --> 00:34:22,600
Speaker 2: put together. So I'm interested in Colt Keith, and I

814
00:34:22,600 --> 00:34:23,399
Speaker 2: think you should be too.

815
00:34:23,520 --> 00:34:25,399
Speaker 1: I'm very interested in our next guy. I can't believe

816
00:34:25,400 --> 00:34:27,439
Speaker 1: he's number nine on this list. This is absurd. He's

817
00:34:27,440 --> 00:34:31,680
Speaker 1: my one hestin Kirstad of the Baltimore Orioles. I love

818
00:34:31,719 --> 00:34:34,880
Speaker 1: this guy. I love this swing. It is beautiful, it

819
00:34:34,960 --> 00:34:38,920
Speaker 1: is easy, the power is easy. There's times where it

820
00:34:38,920 --> 00:34:41,799
Speaker 1: almost has a Will Clark sort of vibe about it

821
00:34:41,840 --> 00:34:43,960
Speaker 1: because he's kind of got that little front side that

822
00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:46,080
Speaker 1: he does a little bit where the elbow's really relaxed

823
00:34:46,080 --> 00:34:48,480
Speaker 1: in the front, and then the contact is so easy.

824
00:34:48,520 --> 00:34:50,600
Speaker 1: The lift is so easy, the power so easy. It's

825
00:34:50,640 --> 00:34:52,960
Speaker 1: all there for this guy. Last year, in one hundred

826
00:34:52,960 --> 00:34:54,680
Speaker 1: and twenty two games, be being double and triple A,

827
00:34:55,320 --> 00:34:57,319
Speaker 1: he had a three to zero three batting average, a

828
00:34:57,320 --> 00:34:59,560
Speaker 1: three seventy six OEP and a five twenty eight slugging

829
00:34:59,560 --> 00:35:02,920
Speaker 1: That's a lead stuff, folks. Nine oh four ops just

830
00:35:03,200 --> 00:35:05,960
Speaker 1: twenty one homers there. Look to me, this is the guy.

831
00:35:06,080 --> 00:35:07,959
Speaker 1: Like I mean, as much as everybody is really excited

832
00:35:07,960 --> 00:35:09,839
Speaker 1: about Jackson Holiday, and they should be, I think kirs

833
00:35:09,920 --> 00:35:11,720
Speaker 1: Dad's the guy that can help you in fantasy now,

834
00:35:12,200 --> 00:35:14,239
Speaker 1: and I think that the Orioles are going to just

835
00:35:14,280 --> 00:35:16,279
Speaker 1: be a really fun team to watch for the next

836
00:35:16,320 --> 00:35:18,279
Speaker 1: few years. But it starts year in twenty four. I

837
00:35:18,360 --> 00:35:19,440
Speaker 1: know he got a cup of coffee with the big

838
00:35:19,440 --> 00:35:21,920
Speaker 1: club last year, but this is my guy, Welsh. So

839
00:35:22,080 --> 00:35:24,080
Speaker 1: I'm curious what your thoughts are because I'm going to

840
00:35:24,120 --> 00:35:26,480
Speaker 1: be aggressive on Kiers Dad. Should I be Should I

841
00:35:26,520 --> 00:35:27,680
Speaker 1: pump the brakes? What do you think?

842
00:35:27,719 --> 00:35:30,000
Speaker 2: I love Heston Kurstad again, I'll just throw out there's

843
00:35:30,040 --> 00:35:31,440
Speaker 2: another one of those. I know I do this a lot,

844
00:35:31,520 --> 00:35:33,400
Speaker 2: but I saw him in AFL two years ago. He

845
00:35:33,440 --> 00:35:36,040
Speaker 2: was hearing that cult Keith run and he's actually surprisingly

846
00:35:36,120 --> 00:35:38,600
Speaker 2: good athlete. He had inside the park home run that

847
00:35:38,680 --> 00:35:41,520
Speaker 2: was out here. Him and cal Conley actually hit them

848
00:35:41,560 --> 00:35:43,080
Speaker 2: in the same game, and it was like the only

849
00:35:43,160 --> 00:35:45,839
Speaker 2: second time in the history of miners in baseball whatever

850
00:35:45,880 --> 00:35:50,720
Speaker 2: that's ever happened. He's got just huge, huge power, big

851
00:35:50,800 --> 00:35:53,720
Speaker 2: hard hit numbers. His swing can get a little bit loopy,

852
00:35:54,040 --> 00:35:55,560
Speaker 2: and that's something he's had to work on.

853
00:35:55,880 --> 00:35:57,040
Speaker 1: Yet he's like three Clark.

854
00:35:58,120 --> 00:36:01,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, it can get like up loopy, but that's also

855
00:36:01,480 --> 00:36:04,839
Speaker 2: why he absolutely destroys baseball twenty one homers while hitting

856
00:36:04,880 --> 00:36:08,160
Speaker 2: over three hundred is great. Here's the deal though, breaking news.

857
00:36:08,200 --> 00:36:10,400
Speaker 2: The next guy's are An Oriole. There's three Orioles on

858
00:36:10,440 --> 00:36:13,040
Speaker 2: this top ten list. The Orioles are a team to

859
00:36:13,120 --> 00:36:15,959
Speaker 2: watch because we just they got to make a move.

860
00:36:16,080 --> 00:36:17,880
Speaker 2: When they make that pitching move, I think it's going

861
00:36:17,960 --> 00:36:20,239
Speaker 2: to create a lot more clarity. We're currently looking at

862
00:36:20,280 --> 00:36:24,960
Speaker 2: a situation where Jackson Holiday, Heshton Kurstad and the next

863
00:36:25,040 --> 00:36:28,640
Speaker 2: guy don't have space to play. Because Ryan O'Hearn, as

864
00:36:28,719 --> 00:36:31,120
Speaker 2: much as it's Ryan O'Hearn, played pretty well last year.

865
00:36:31,120 --> 00:36:34,680
Speaker 2: If they like him, they got Ryan Mountcastle Jordan Westburg,

866
00:36:34,760 --> 00:36:38,280
Speaker 2: so they've got to consolidate. If Kurstad were to be moved,

867
00:36:38,480 --> 00:36:41,680
Speaker 2: or they were to move like a west maybe not Westburg,

868
00:36:41,719 --> 00:36:43,680
Speaker 2: but like a right mount Castle, and he had playing time.

869
00:36:43,920 --> 00:36:46,560
Speaker 2: I think that's good. My worries about Kurstod is he

870
00:36:46,600 --> 00:36:50,680
Speaker 2: gets into bad months and bad streaks of striking out

871
00:36:50,719 --> 00:36:53,480
Speaker 2: and whipping through, and he almost becomes like Colton Kowser,

872
00:36:53,520 --> 00:36:55,239
Speaker 2: another one of those guys where they just move him

873
00:36:55,239 --> 00:36:57,239
Speaker 2: in and out. But the skill set is there for

874
00:36:57,480 --> 00:36:59,960
Speaker 2: huge power. He could lead this team in home run.

875
00:37:00,480 --> 00:37:00,640
Speaker 1: Yeah.

876
00:37:00,760 --> 00:37:02,719
Speaker 2: If he were given six hundred plus at bats and

877
00:37:02,760 --> 00:37:04,799
Speaker 2: he was on his thing, he could lead this team

878
00:37:04,800 --> 00:37:07,640
Speaker 2: in homers. So that's why you get excited. Maybe he

879
00:37:07,680 --> 00:37:09,400
Speaker 2: is a little bit too low on this list, but

880
00:37:09,520 --> 00:37:11,719
Speaker 2: I do think there's just so many questions at this

881
00:37:11,920 --> 00:37:14,759
Speaker 2: moment about the Baltimore Orioles and what they're going to do.

882
00:37:15,120 --> 00:37:17,319
Speaker 2: But the point of all of these guys are these

883
00:37:17,320 --> 00:37:19,120
Speaker 2: are the guys that should be on your radar prospect

884
00:37:19,200 --> 00:37:22,560
Speaker 2: wise because there is up and down movement, sure, especially

885
00:37:22,600 --> 00:37:25,239
Speaker 2: with this team. If they start they start consolidating some

886
00:37:25,280 --> 00:37:25,920
Speaker 2: of these players.

887
00:37:25,960 --> 00:37:27,960
Speaker 1: And you talked about, you know, having Harrison as a

888
00:37:28,000 --> 00:37:31,080
Speaker 1: stash earlier on the show about strike outs, Well, herst

889
00:37:31,160 --> 00:37:34,120
Speaker 1: chirstads that guy to stash for power like this guy's.

890
00:37:34,400 --> 00:37:37,120
Speaker 1: I mean, I said, I'm very excited to see the

891
00:37:37,120 --> 00:37:39,440
Speaker 1: evolution of that player. Kobe Mayo, the last guy we're

892
00:37:39,480 --> 00:37:42,319
Speaker 1: talking about again as well, said the Orioles kind of

893
00:37:42,400 --> 00:37:44,839
Speaker 1: loaded right now, so it's kind of tough to figure

894
00:37:44,840 --> 00:37:46,880
Speaker 1: out where he lands. My thing about Mayo when I

895
00:37:46,880 --> 00:37:48,839
Speaker 1: watch the tape on him, it's, look, you throw him

896
00:37:48,880 --> 00:37:51,120
Speaker 1: low and inside, he's going to hit it. If you

897
00:37:51,520 --> 00:37:54,319
Speaker 1: there's ways to pitch to him that I've seen so far.

898
00:37:54,800 --> 00:37:56,520
Speaker 1: There's ways to not pitch to him, and it's low

899
00:37:56,560 --> 00:37:58,319
Speaker 1: and inside. He's going to eat you alive if you

900
00:37:58,360 --> 00:38:01,560
Speaker 1: throw the ball anywhere there and you know, good on him.

901
00:38:01,640 --> 00:38:03,160
Speaker 1: That's a strong suit. Likes to pull a lot of

902
00:38:03,200 --> 00:38:06,040
Speaker 1: balls too. So he is my least impressive guys on

903
00:38:06,040 --> 00:38:08,239
Speaker 1: this list, I think in terms of twenty twenty four capability.

904
00:38:08,280 --> 00:38:10,520
Speaker 1: But I think, as you mentioned, all of a sudden,

905
00:38:10,520 --> 00:38:12,759
Speaker 1: if he gets trained to another team, that could change

906
00:38:12,760 --> 00:38:15,000
Speaker 1: the dynamic very quickly for his twenty four season.

907
00:38:15,480 --> 00:38:18,200
Speaker 2: So there were so many players that could have gone

908
00:38:18,239 --> 00:38:20,600
Speaker 2: on this part. Chased a lotter who I mentioned with

909
00:38:20,640 --> 00:38:25,520
Speaker 2: the Guardians, fantastic AFL, incredibly patient, good hitter, totally like

910
00:38:25,560 --> 00:38:27,840
Speaker 2: the Guardians, type of player they love. He could have

911
00:38:27,840 --> 00:38:31,120
Speaker 2: done Victor Scott. I think he's so blocked. But Victor

912
00:38:31,160 --> 00:38:35,200
Speaker 2: Scott has such an immense stolen based potential with really

913
00:38:35,239 --> 00:38:37,959
Speaker 2: good average. Those two guys jump out to me as

914
00:38:38,000 --> 00:38:39,759
Speaker 2: like you could have put them there. Here's the reason

915
00:38:39,760 --> 00:38:42,399
Speaker 2: I put Kobe Mayom. He's one of the younger guys

916
00:38:42,400 --> 00:38:45,200
Speaker 2: on this list, twenty one years old. I think, yeah,

917
00:38:45,360 --> 00:38:48,879
Speaker 2: just hit twenty two led them all of miners last

918
00:38:48,960 --> 00:38:52,280
Speaker 2: year in doubles, forty five doubles with big power numbers

919
00:38:52,360 --> 00:38:54,279
Speaker 2: in triple A. We have some stat cast out of

920
00:38:54,280 --> 00:38:56,640
Speaker 2: from triple A. He had a one to twelve max,

921
00:38:56,800 --> 00:38:59,800
Speaker 2: which we're looking for above one ten and average ninety

922
00:38:59,800 --> 00:39:04,000
Speaker 2: one point six miles per hour average exit velocity. On hits,

923
00:39:04,160 --> 00:39:06,359
Speaker 2: he had a fifty one and a half percent hard

924
00:39:06,440 --> 00:39:09,480
Speaker 2: hit rate and an almost ten percent barrel rate. I'm

925
00:39:09,480 --> 00:39:12,000
Speaker 2: looking for double digit barrel rates. I'm looking for big

926
00:39:12,000 --> 00:39:15,000
Speaker 2: hard hit numbers. That is what he does. And he

927
00:39:15,040 --> 00:39:17,560
Speaker 2: hit triple A, which means we're on the clock. I

928
00:39:17,600 --> 00:39:20,360
Speaker 2: think there's a possibility when the Orioles start making moves,

929
00:39:20,680 --> 00:39:22,800
Speaker 2: Kobe Mayo's not one of the guys that gets moved,

930
00:39:23,120 --> 00:39:25,120
Speaker 2: and if they make a move, they're getting pictures that

931
00:39:25,239 --> 00:39:28,040
Speaker 2: might vault him into his situation to play if he

932
00:39:28,320 --> 00:39:31,160
Speaker 2: is the core piece, which I would imagine if a team,

933
00:39:31,239 --> 00:39:34,040
Speaker 2: let's just hypothetically say the Orioles go and get Dylan Cees,

934
00:39:34,360 --> 00:39:36,160
Speaker 2: I would think they would want Kobe Mayo, And if

935
00:39:36,200 --> 00:39:38,319
Speaker 2: he were put into a spot where he's starting right off,

936
00:39:38,680 --> 00:39:42,000
Speaker 2: I think this is easy thirty plus homer power. I

937
00:39:42,080 --> 00:39:44,920
Speaker 2: personally love Kobe Mayo and triple A makes me think

938
00:39:44,920 --> 00:39:47,440
Speaker 2: he's gonna get playing time. But you might be having

939
00:39:47,440 --> 00:39:49,520
Speaker 2: some better bets on guys like Chase De Lauder Victor

940
00:39:49,520 --> 00:39:52,640
Speaker 2: Scott who are going much higher in NFBC drafts. But

941
00:39:52,640 --> 00:39:55,080
Speaker 2: I'm gonna put Kobe Mayo in your guys's head while

942
00:39:55,120 --> 00:39:57,400
Speaker 2: we see what the Orioles do. Because he is one

943
00:39:57,440 --> 00:39:59,520
Speaker 2: of the elite power hitters in the minor leagues.

944
00:40:00,160 --> 00:40:02,920
Speaker 1: He's got elite power. I don't think he's ready to

945
00:40:03,000 --> 00:40:04,879
Speaker 1: hit for thirty home runs on the big league level,

946
00:40:04,920 --> 00:40:07,239
Speaker 1: even if he got one hundred and fifty games this year.

947
00:40:07,239 --> 00:40:08,920
Speaker 1: I just don't think that's going to translate quite yet.

948
00:40:08,960 --> 00:40:10,640
Speaker 1: I think there's some holes there in terms of what

949
00:40:10,680 --> 00:40:13,359
Speaker 1: he does well and what he doesn't. And again, they

950
00:40:13,360 --> 00:40:15,560
Speaker 1: find you out real quick, and they see what your

951
00:40:15,560 --> 00:40:17,440
Speaker 1: weaknesses are. And you watch a table on him, it's

952
00:40:17,440 --> 00:40:20,080
Speaker 1: the same thing, low and inside. Boom Ball goes out,

953
00:40:20,760 --> 00:40:22,880
Speaker 1: pitch them away, pitch them is on the spots all

954
00:40:22,920 --> 00:40:24,480
Speaker 1: of a sudden, a little bit more of a struggle

955
00:40:24,480 --> 00:40:26,319
Speaker 1: bus there from what I've seen, at least in the

956
00:40:26,400 --> 00:40:28,439
Speaker 1: samples that I've watched of him. But again, these are

957
00:40:28,480 --> 00:40:30,680
