31
00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:31,479
Speaker 1: off here with the top tier of outfield and we'll

32
00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:35,039
Speaker 1: talk about these guys. Obviously, the top is pretty pretty good.

33
00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:37,920
Speaker 1: Aaron Judge at the top at one in the consensus

34
00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:40,800
Speaker 1: adp at Fantasypros dot Com that you can find on Sodo,

35
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:45,040
Speaker 1: Kyle Tucker, Mookie Betts, Corbyn Curl, Fernando Tattists, Julio Rodriguez

36
00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:48,120
Speaker 1: at seven. I would still put Alvarez a head Julio.

37
00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:50,920
Speaker 1: I'm Julio has been very disappointing to me last year.

38
00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:54,160
Speaker 1: Then we have Jackson Curio at nine. Jaron Duran, our

39
00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:57,480
Speaker 1: favorite son look at him, a top ten outfielder. We're

40
00:01:57,520 --> 00:01:59,360
Speaker 1: so proud, Mom and Dad are so proud of you.

41
00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:01,960
Speaker 1: Jared Roald Acony at eleven, who could miss the first

42
00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:04,919
Speaker 1: month of the season. Then jas Chisholm at twelve. Certainly

43
00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:07,960
Speaker 1: a pretty strong grouping there of names. Is there one

44
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:11,720
Speaker 1: to you that stands out that maybe doesn't belong ooh.

45
00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:15,519
Speaker 2: That doesn't belong in there? Oh? Man, I think they

46
00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:20,240
Speaker 2: all belong ish in there. Ronald, but here because here's

47
00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:23,280
Speaker 2: my thing down here. Carolyn Julio, I think still have

48
00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:26,320
Speaker 2: some questions about how things kind of tanked last year

49
00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:28,360
Speaker 2: and what their production is and the high cost. You

50
00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:31,040
Speaker 2: get no discount. You practically get no discount on Carol.

51
00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:35,240
Speaker 2: A little bit on Juliocunya really scares me. That's the

52
00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:37,520
Speaker 2: one that scares me the most, only because we are

53
00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:39,840
Speaker 2: kind of in the dark a little bit about what

54
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:41,960
Speaker 2: his timeline is going to be. You know, he was

55
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:45,160
Speaker 2: going into the late twenties in early like you know,

56
00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:48,639
Speaker 2: in like November December n FBC drafts. He's ticking back

57
00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:51,080
Speaker 2: up as usual because people are seeing his name, but

58
00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:54,080
Speaker 2: they're talking about that he could miss April, maybe he

59
00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:56,960
Speaker 2: could miss May. We need a clear timeline right now.

60
00:02:57,120 --> 00:02:59,320
Speaker 2: I just don't think you can really throw him into

61
00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:01,320
Speaker 2: that first round. Maybe even the top twelve is a

62
00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:03,600
Speaker 2: little bit questionable based on that. But if we get

63
00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:06,160
Speaker 2: a positive timeline, he'll become the biggest deal out of

64
00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:07,680
Speaker 2: all of them, and the only other one that just

65
00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:11,360
Speaker 2: kind of gets at me. I'll take. I get some

66
00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:13,520
Speaker 2: credit for how much I was on on Jackson Merrill

67
00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:15,000
Speaker 2: over the last couple of years and how he blew

68
00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:17,480
Speaker 2: up last year, but even I am a little bit

69
00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:20,720
Speaker 2: tenuous though. Though hitting profile is so great across the board,

70
00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:23,600
Speaker 2: it is a massive cost this year. I am not

71
00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:26,639
Speaker 2: as sold on some of the power numbers projections are,

72
00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:29,200
Speaker 2: and that's kind of the give and take you're going

73
00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:30,880
Speaker 2: to have. He's not even projected to be a twenty

74
00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:33,799
Speaker 2: twenty guy, and he's going inside of the top almost

75
00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:36,080
Speaker 2: ten of outfield, so I think there's a little bit

76
00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:38,520
Speaker 2: of question there. Acuni is probably the biggest one with

77
00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:42,000
Speaker 2: the injuries, but this is the core of twelve. Makes

78
00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:43,040
Speaker 2: sense why they're all here.

79
00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:46,080
Speaker 1: I gotta say, after this grouping of the first twelve

80
00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:48,280
Speaker 1: to fifteen, it gets a little dicey out there. So

81
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:50,800
Speaker 1: I for in those five active outfielder leagues, you know,

82
00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:52,560
Speaker 1: buckle up because this is going to be important and

83
00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:55,160
Speaker 1: you're going to need some sleepers. There A look at

84
00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:58,680
Speaker 1: that transition complete professional. Louis Robert is the first one

85
00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:00,560
Speaker 1: for me. I'm gonna list all three mind and to

86
00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:03,520
Speaker 1: talk about him. Brandon Nimmo's my second. Jerkson Profar is

87
00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:06,000
Speaker 1: my third look with Louis Robert. This is a guy

88
00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:09,880
Speaker 1: just heading into last year, was in that top tier conversation.

89
00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:13,560
Speaker 1: So I know the White Sows are horrible. I get it.

90
00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:15,839
Speaker 1: We saw it on paper last year. It doesn't look

91
00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:18,560
Speaker 1: like it's going to get much better this year at all.

92
00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:20,719
Speaker 1: And I don't think Louis Robert is going to be

93
00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:22,919
Speaker 1: there much longer. I think they are dead set on

94
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:25,000
Speaker 1: moving him and continuing this youth move, and I'm sure

95
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:27,000
Speaker 1: he wants to get out of Dodge as well. But

96
00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:29,960
Speaker 1: it's not that long ago that Louis Robert was one

97
00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:32,480
Speaker 1: of these guys that we all coveted in fantasy baseball

98
00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:34,400
Speaker 1: that we thought, oh my god, this is a guy

99
00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:36,880
Speaker 1: that I can anchor my offense around. And he has

100
00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:39,160
Speaker 1: shown you that. He's also just turning twenty seven years old,

101
00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:41,120
Speaker 1: so he hasn't even begun to hit his prime. He's

102
00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:44,640
Speaker 1: only one year removed from a thirty eight homer season.

103
00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:48,479
Speaker 1: So before we start getting out of the business of

104
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:52,000
Speaker 1: Louis Robert, a thirty twenty guy, let's have a little

105
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:55,040
Speaker 1: bit more patience for him because where he's going currently

106
00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:58,640
Speaker 1: at the twenty fifth outfielder overall, I get it, line

107
00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:01,400
Speaker 1: of production is bad. All this stuf around, I still

108
00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:04,719
Speaker 1: think it's too much of a suppression. It's far too

109
00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:06,720
Speaker 1: much of a discount. Next guy on my list is

110
00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:09,480
Speaker 1: Brandon Nimo. Now, Brandon Nimo is a guy that's shown

111
00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:12,039
Speaker 1: you he can get on base in the past. He

112
00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:14,160
Speaker 1: has shown you that he has got some power. Now.

113
00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:16,000
Speaker 1: I know the stolen bases have varied a little bit

114
00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:18,680
Speaker 1: here in the batting average at times as well, but

115
00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:21,159
Speaker 1: having Juan Soto win this lineup is a game changer.

116
00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:24,080
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, it just is everything in the trickle down

117
00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:26,039
Speaker 1: effect there. And as we're recording this, we're still waiting

118
00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:27,680
Speaker 1: to see if Pete A. Lonzo comes back or not.

119
00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:31,080
Speaker 1: But if he doesn't come back and Brando Nimo gets

120
00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:34,560
Speaker 1: hurtled up into that number four spot behind Mark Viento's,

121
00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:36,880
Speaker 1: it could be a very big year for Brandon Neimo

122
00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:39,640
Speaker 1: another guy that I think is being grossly undervalued when

123
00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:43,200
Speaker 1: you're going through these ranks currently, and Nimo is a

124
00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:45,960
Speaker 1: player that I think is very steady. You know what

125
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:48,480
Speaker 1: you're getting the lineup is going to be very productive.

126
00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:50,840
Speaker 1: So to me, Nimo is another guy that I want

127
00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:53,080
Speaker 1: in on in twenty twenty five. And the last one

128
00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:54,640
Speaker 1: is the guy that we talked about in an Undervalued

129
00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:57,320
Speaker 1: show is Jerrekson Profar who signed with the Atlanta Braves.

130
00:05:57,520 --> 00:05:59,960
Speaker 1: This was a player that was once upon a time

131
00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:03,320
Speaker 1: the number one prospect in baseball, and it was a

132
00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:05,320
Speaker 1: long and winding road, and last year is something I

133
00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:07,320
Speaker 1: think finally clicked with him. You saw the power spike,

134
00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:10,200
Speaker 1: you saw the back to ball skills spike. You saw

135
00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:13,160
Speaker 1: everything you were looking for. And maybe it's just the

136
00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:16,320
Speaker 1: late bloomer, or maybe it's just somebody finally getting the

137
00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:18,520
Speaker 1: best out of him from a coaching standpoint, but whatever

138
00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:21,440
Speaker 1: it is, when the Atlanta Braves identify you and want

139
00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:25,279
Speaker 1: you as a piece going forward, guess what, that's something

140
00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:27,400
Speaker 1: that perks my ears up. That's something that moves you

141
00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:29,760
Speaker 1: up my draft board. And I think there's a chance

142
00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:31,640
Speaker 1: you could see him towards the top of this order

143
00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:34,480
Speaker 1: potentially how things break out. I am not a Michael

144
00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:37,440
Speaker 1: Harris guy, so instead I'd rather hedge my bets later

145
00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:40,120
Speaker 1: with another Atlanta outfielder and take Jerks and Profar instead.

146
00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:43,320
Speaker 1: So for me, my three biggest sleepers there all guys

147
00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:45,000
Speaker 1: that have been around, So it's not like any of

148
00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:46,839
Speaker 1: these young guys I'm picking. I'm not trying to be

149
00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:50,400
Speaker 1: all Dynasty ish here today on the show. I want

150
00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:52,040
Speaker 1: guys that I know can get out there and get

151
00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:54,520
Speaker 1: it and have proven it before. So give me Luis Robert,

152
00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:57,800
Speaker 1: give me Brennan Nimo, and give me Jerks and Profar Welsh.

153
00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:00,000
Speaker 1: Give me three sleepers you're looking for in the outfield

154
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:01,080
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty five.

155
00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:04,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, and just add in. I think there's this line,

156
00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:06,640
Speaker 2: and it's a line that I just we don't even

157
00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:08,520
Speaker 2: care to like go through. But there's this line between

158
00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:12,240
Speaker 2: undervalued and sleeper. They're kind of a siblings of each other.

159
00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:14,360
Speaker 2: Like Luis Robert would have been one hundred percent on

160
00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:16,200
Speaker 2: my list, but is he really a sleeper? Is he

161
00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:19,880
Speaker 2: more undervalued? Either way? If you hadn't put him on here,

162
00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:21,720
Speaker 2: he's my number one because if you listened to the

163
00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:26,560
Speaker 2: Infield Guide show. I talked about how last season Bobashet's outlier.

164
00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:29,120
Speaker 2: It was so extreme that it felt like the badness

165
00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:32,560
Speaker 2: was his outlier. Same thing with Robert. I think last year,

166
00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:36,320
Speaker 2: the explosiveness of how bad everything was he spent hanging

167
00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:38,600
Speaker 2: out with him here in Complex League. I think that's

168
00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:41,120
Speaker 2: such the outlier, and his batting average dipped and he

169
00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:43,920
Speaker 2: was still hitting homers and stealing bases that it works

170
00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:45,840
Speaker 2: really well. And there have been rumor after rumor that

171
00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:47,600
Speaker 2: he might be a Cincinnati Red And if he goes

172
00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:50,000
Speaker 2: to the Reds in that ballpark, get the hell.

173
00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:52,240
Speaker 1: Of White Welsh. I hope so, because that makes a

174
00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:54,080
Speaker 1: ton of sense for the Reds to bring in like

175
00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:57,559
Speaker 1: a true middle of the order kind like that dude.

176
00:07:57,680 --> 00:07:59,240
Speaker 1: You know, Elieno la Cruz is going to grow in.

177
00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:02,160
Speaker 1: He might even be that dude already, but to have

178
00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:04,680
Speaker 1: somebody like Robert in that lineup would be a game changer.

179
00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:06,560
Speaker 1: And they've got the prospects to do it. They've got

180
00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:09,000
Speaker 1: a glut already. They had to move India already. And

181
00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:12,400
Speaker 1: you know Nimo, going back and looking at his previous season,

182
00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:14,040
Speaker 1: you know he was another onse guys where the rule

183
00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:16,640
Speaker 1: changes of stolen bases really benefiting. Right, he went from

184
00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:18,640
Speaker 1: a guy who stole like three or five bases to fifteen.

185
00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:21,840
Speaker 1: It's like tripling his outfit output there. I know the

186
00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:25,040
Speaker 1: batting average ropped from the very steady eddy two seventies

187
00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:26,960
Speaker 1: to the two twenties, but I think if you could

188
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:29,160
Speaker 1: bounce back with the batting average even at the two sixty,

189
00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:31,440
Speaker 1: give me the fifteen steals, give me the twenty something

190
00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:33,960
Speaker 1: on runs. Like I'm looking at Nimo and I'm looking

191
00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:36,160
Speaker 1: at Robert, I'm saying myself, those are guys who can

192
00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:39,920
Speaker 1: give me, you know, potentially five categories, and yet they're

193
00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:42,880
Speaker 1: being grossly undervalued. Profar is going at the one hundred

194
00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:46,480
Speaker 1: and sixty six player overall, and Brandon Nimo looking for

195
00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:48,920
Speaker 1: him too on this list here he's going one thing.

196
00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:51,280
Speaker 1: He's run on the one sixty range too. So I mean, look,

197
00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:54,240
Speaker 1: you've got you've got opportunity here with all three of

198
00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:57,360
Speaker 1: those guys to give you a bunch of productivity, and

199
00:08:57,400 --> 00:09:00,000
Speaker 1: to me, all of them are being far far under draft.

200
00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:02,319
Speaker 2: Two of those three I very very much agree with,

201
00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:04,280
Speaker 2: and we'll talk about that. One I do not, but

202
00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:06,400
Speaker 2: we'll see if Robert does go to the Reds. They

203
00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:08,600
Speaker 2: did sign Austin Hayes because they couldn't come to a deal.

204
00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:11,840
Speaker 2: But I love the Robert one, sleeper, undervalued, whatever you

205
00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:14,280
Speaker 2: want to call it. My picks for this one, I

206
00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:16,480
Speaker 2: am going to go little dynasty and rookie. One of

207
00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:19,319
Speaker 2: my favorite sleepers, if you will, is Dylan Cruz for

208
00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:22,199
Speaker 2: this year. Dylan Cruz with the Nationals had a still

209
00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:25,200
Speaker 2: qualifies as a rookie, so him and Matt Shah are

210
00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:27,760
Speaker 2: going to be the top two for outside of rookies

211
00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:30,079
Speaker 2: not named rookie Sazaki for the NL Rookie of the

212
00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:32,560
Speaker 2: Year battle because he still qualifies. Last year, he only

213
00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:34,760
Speaker 2: hit two eighteen with three homers in his debut, but

214
00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:37,679
Speaker 2: he's still twelve bases in like one hundred and twenty games.

215
00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:40,800
Speaker 2: Why do I like all of this? The potential that

216
00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:43,240
Speaker 2: he's going to lead off for this team as a rookie,

217
00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:46,480
Speaker 2: he had an under twenty percent strikeout rate, phenomenal eight

218
00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:49,760
Speaker 2: percent walk rate. They legitimately have to consider and that

219
00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:51,839
Speaker 2: is where he was batting when he came up. If

220
00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:55,240
Speaker 2: he's the leadoff hitter, we're talking about the potential of

221
00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:57,559
Speaker 2: eighty to one hundred runs somewhere and there really depends

222
00:09:57,600 --> 00:09:59,040
Speaker 2: on what this team ends up looking like. He was

223
00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:02,280
Speaker 2: aggressive on the base paths. He also is more I

224
00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:04,480
Speaker 2: don't want to call him like the mookie gunner, but

225
00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:06,400
Speaker 2: you know how there's leadoff hitters that are just like

226
00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:09,040
Speaker 2: little table setters. There's not much power, blah blah blah.

227
00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:10,760
Speaker 2: And then they're these guys that go in and they're

228
00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:13,040
Speaker 2: like number three hitters. That is who Cruz is going

229
00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:14,800
Speaker 2: to be. Cruse is a guy. He had a six

230
00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:17,199
Speaker 2: percent barrel rate in his rookie year, forty four percent

231
00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:19,679
Speaker 2: hard hit rate. He's a guy that can crush a

232
00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:22,760
Speaker 2: handful of leadoff homers. So I really like Dylan Cruz.

233
00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:24,960
Speaker 2: He's one of my favorite sleepers. He's outside the top

234
00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:26,920
Speaker 2: one hundred on the overlaw.

235
00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:27,720
Speaker 1: Yeah.

236
00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:30,640
Speaker 2: Two other outfielders I'm gonna throw in here just to

237
00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:34,000
Speaker 2: get their names out, Jake McCarthy and Jordan Walker. Jake

238
00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:37,040
Speaker 2: McCarthy is also being undervalued. I want to say he

239
00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:40,800
Speaker 2: might be outside the top fifty outfielders being taken NFBC.

240
00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:44,040
Speaker 2: He's the fifty fifth outfielder going. But if you want

241
00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:46,920
Speaker 2: to go and compare and you care about projections atc

242
00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:51,080
Speaker 2: projections have him as almost a ten to thirty guy,

243
00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:54,400
Speaker 2: eight homers, twenty nine stolen bases with a two sixty

244
00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:57,480
Speaker 2: two average in one hundred and thirty five games. Why

245
00:10:57,520 --> 00:11:00,600
Speaker 2: is that important. He's completely changed his profile. He doesn't

246
00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:03,480
Speaker 2: strike out, he doesn't have this big monster hitting profile,

247
00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:05,120
Speaker 2: but he's those guys. He gets the ball in the

248
00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:07,600
Speaker 2: air and he is an aggressive base runner, which the

249
00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:10,920
Speaker 2: Diamondbacks love to do. So if that batting average is

250
00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:12,600
Speaker 2: in play and he beats at one hundred and thirty

251
00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:15,880
Speaker 2: five games at all, you're talking about ten thirty as

252
00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:19,720
Speaker 2: the fifty fifth outfielder outside the top two hundred sleeper baby,

253
00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:22,439
Speaker 2: especially when you're chasing some of those stolen bases. And

254
00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:25,440
Speaker 2: one of my absolute favorite deep ones is Jordan Walker.

255
00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:28,840
Speaker 2: Jordan Walker has not gotten that big fair shake. Things

256
00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:31,320
Speaker 2: fell apart last year. Mason Wynn has talked about in

257
00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:34,040
Speaker 2: the off season how Walker has been completely kind of

258
00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:36,760
Speaker 2: revamping the swing. Walker has this really great interview out

259
00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:39,079
Speaker 2: there as well, working with hitting coaches about how they

260
00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:41,800
Speaker 2: identified that his hands were too far out and he

261
00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:44,400
Speaker 2: wasn't able to get into that explosion place. So they

262
00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:46,400
Speaker 2: are moving his hands in as he has one of

263
00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:49,520
Speaker 2: the fastest bats in baseball. He barrows the ball, he

264
00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:52,120
Speaker 2: hits it really hard. He's hit for average. He also

265
00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:55,600
Speaker 2: now doesn't have to worry about being sent down to

266
00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:57,840
Speaker 2: the miners and losing that spot. They're committed to him

267
00:11:57,880 --> 00:12:01,280
Speaker 2: all season long. So you have a magnificant swing change

268
00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:03,400
Speaker 2: in play for a guy that hits the ball really hard,

269
00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:06,640
Speaker 2: has a big, fast swing. I think we're in a

270
00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:10,320
Speaker 2: post hype world of Jordan Walker. He's a nobody for

271
00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:13,000
Speaker 2: people in drafting. I'm talking about Jake McCarthy. Trying to

272
00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:15,640
Speaker 2: scroll down here, Jordan Walker, let me see if I

273
00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:16,240
Speaker 2: can find it too.

274
00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:17,800
Speaker 1: While you're scrolling.

275
00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:20,560
Speaker 2: Seventy AETH outfielder, seventy AETH outfielder out dress outside the

276
00:12:20,559 --> 00:12:21,079
Speaker 2: three hundred.

277
00:12:21,559 --> 00:12:23,480
Speaker 1: I think it's amazing that we got to this point,

278
00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:26,120
Speaker 1: Beaten Life, because you were always one of the toughest

279
00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:28,760
Speaker 1: guys on Jake McCarthy. You are a very anti Jake

280
00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:31,120
Speaker 1: McCarthy guy over the years of all the thousands of

281
00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:33,920
Speaker 1: shows we've done together. So when Welsh is saying, hey,

282
00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:37,480
Speaker 1: it's time on Jake McCarthy, you better listen. And then

283
00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:39,559
Speaker 1: Jordan Walker, I mean, the guy's just twenty three years old.

284
00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:41,520
Speaker 1: He has an elite level profile. Look at the minor

285
00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:44,960
Speaker 1: league slash here to ninety one, three, sixty eight, four

286
00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:48,440
Speaker 1: eighty seven. That's big time stuff and he's just twenty three.

287
00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:50,160
Speaker 1: I think you're one hundred percent right too. And you

288
00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:54,280
Speaker 1: said it. When you are putting that much pressure on

289
00:12:54,320 --> 00:12:56,080
Speaker 1: a guy like you know, he's not a third basement.

290
00:12:56,120 --> 00:12:57,760
Speaker 1: You're gonna move him here, You're gonna move him there.

291
00:12:57,640 --> 00:13:00,360
Speaker 1: You know he's young, kid. The confidence gets shaken. We're

292
00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:02,440
Speaker 1: gonna drop you down to the minor leagues. Call you

293
00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:05,600
Speaker 1: back up, leave him alone. Let him just figure it

294
00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:07,600
Speaker 1: out for a season. Saint Louis has got a lot

295
00:13:07,640 --> 00:13:10,880
Speaker 1: to figure out anyway. So I'm with you one thousand

296
00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:14,280
Speaker 1: percent on Jordan Walker, and you're right, he is free.

297
00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:16,320
Speaker 1: In fact, this is the time too. In dynasty leagues,

298
00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:18,280
Speaker 1: I'd be buying on him because he's just twenty three

299
00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:21,160
Speaker 1: years old, and because now the value is at its

300
00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:25,120
Speaker 1: absolute lowest and it's nothing but upside here. So Jordan Walker,

301
00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:27,240
Speaker 1: I like him in redraft like you, and in Dynasty

302
00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:29,480
Speaker 1: I think that's a big one too. Let's get through

303
00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:33,240
Speaker 1: the next tier of outfielders here thirteen through twenty four.

304
00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:36,000
Speaker 1: You have Jackson Meryl at thirteen, who Welsh mentioned earlier

305
00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:39,040
Speaker 1: than Wyatt Langford. Some teases there with Langford were both

306
00:13:39,160 --> 00:13:41,440
Speaker 1: very high on him. O'Neil Cruz at fifteen. You know

307
00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:44,120
Speaker 1: that's one of Welsh's favorite guys. Michael Harris one of

308
00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:45,880
Speaker 1: my least favorite guys. I like Michael Harris. He's a

309
00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:48,120
Speaker 1: good baseball player, He's just not that exciting to me

310
00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:49,679
Speaker 1: in fantasy. I think he's overrated. I think he's like

311
00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:54,160
Speaker 1: Jason Damerdish just saying James would that's a guy like

312
00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:56,959
Speaker 1: at seventeen, Brent Rooker at eighteen I absolutely love, especially

313
00:13:57,000 --> 00:13:59,120
Speaker 1: getting out of that ballpark two you get have fifty

314
00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:02,320
Speaker 1: home runs. Maybe instead aacremento. Kyle Schwarber at nineteen. You

315
00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:04,240
Speaker 1: know what it is at the Schwarberfest in June. And

316
00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:05,960
Speaker 1: outside of that, well, you know, we'll figure it out.

317
00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:08,800
Speaker 1: Ti Oscar Rnandez a twenty, Marcelo Zuna at twenty one,

318
00:14:09,559 --> 00:14:12,319
Speaker 1: Anthony Santandera twenty two now at Toronto Blue Jay, Breton

319
00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:15,280
Speaker 1: Doyle a great one of the waiverar pickups of the year.

320
00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:17,880
Speaker 1: I think last year Brenton Doyle and then Lawrence Butler,

321
00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:20,400
Speaker 1: you can put in that category as well. A red

322
00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:23,400
Speaker 1: hot summer for Lawrence Butler. In this second tier, Welsh,

323
00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:25,640
Speaker 1: who are you most excited about drafting?

324
00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:29,400
Speaker 2: Ooh, well, it kind of gives away a little bit.

325
00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:32,280
Speaker 2: I'll say the two guys that are my absolute favorites,

326
00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:34,160
Speaker 2: and I'm going to talk about I think at least

327
00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:36,480
Speaker 2: one of them later James Wood and White Langford. Those

328
00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:38,360
Speaker 2: two it's kind of cheety, I guess because they're a

329
00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:41,120
Speaker 2: little bit higher, but they're going both around there. I

330
00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:42,880
Speaker 2: think they're next to each other in most ADPs and

331
00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:46,400
Speaker 2: ranks around like the forty to fifty range. I have

332
00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:48,480
Speaker 2: to personally walk out of a draft with one of

333
00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:50,560
Speaker 2: those two guys. That is so you know, I know

334
00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:52,120
Speaker 2: we're gonna do mustas in a little bit, I have

335
00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:54,320
Speaker 2: to get one of those two guys. Those two are

336
00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:57,000
Speaker 2: my absolute favorites, I will tell you. In this tier

337
00:14:57,520 --> 00:14:59,520
Speaker 2: is one of my least favorite and my bust the

338
00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:02,080
Speaker 2: work talk about but why Langford and James would two

339
00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:03,160
Speaker 2: of my absolute favorites?

340
00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:06,160
Speaker 1: What an incredible tease in this tier is also one

341
00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:07,640
Speaker 1: of my busts. How about that?

342
00:15:07,960 --> 00:15:09,000
Speaker 2: I wonder who it is?

343
00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:12,880
Speaker 1: Who could it be? But Before I even get into that.

344
00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:16,200
Speaker 1: Before I even get into that, I just want to say, besides,

345
00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:18,640
Speaker 1: you know, I'm excited about those two guys, well, James Would,

346
00:15:18,680 --> 00:15:21,080
Speaker 1: I'm incredibly excited about this year, and I think Bretton

347
00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:24,040
Speaker 1: Doyle I'm very excited about. Also. The more I continue

348
00:15:24,040 --> 00:15:26,520
Speaker 1: to peel into the profile of him, I'm just excited.

349
00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:28,320
Speaker 1: I love the pack he plays in Colorado. Of course,

350
00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:31,120
Speaker 1: got power, he got speed. I just look at him

351
00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:32,440
Speaker 1: and say, you know, I don't think it was a

352
00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:35,880
Speaker 1: fluke from what I've seen now. Had Nolan Jones, you

353
00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:37,760
Speaker 1: could look at last year's and know the things didn't

354
00:15:37,800 --> 00:15:40,080
Speaker 1: go very well for him, I don't think Bretton Doyle's

355
00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:42,480
Speaker 1: gonna have that same sort of problem necessarily there. So

356
00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:45,200
Speaker 1: let's move on to some of those busts. So why

357
00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:47,800
Speaker 1: don't you go first this time? Well to win first last?

358
00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:50,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're gonna love this. After everything you just said,

359
00:15:50,280 --> 00:15:53,720
Speaker 2: Let's transition into my biggest bus. Brenton Doyle is the

360
00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:56,440
Speaker 2: least favorite of those guys, the three guys I have

361
00:15:56,520 --> 00:15:58,600
Speaker 2: on this list. This is where I guess you and

362
00:15:58,640 --> 00:16:01,120
Speaker 2: I just are kind of in a disagreement standpoint, because

363
00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:03,520
Speaker 2: not all do I have Brenton Doyle. I've also got

364
00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:06,080
Speaker 2: Brandon Neimo in here, and I've got Spencer Steer, and

365
00:16:06,120 --> 00:16:08,960
Speaker 2: there's pretty I think clear answers on those other two.

366
00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:12,120
Speaker 2: But starting with Brenton Doyle, you're not wrong like twenty

367
00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:16,000
Speaker 2: three homers, thirty stolen bases, that's paired off of a

368
00:16:16,520 --> 00:16:19,880
Speaker 2: tin homer, twenty two stolen base season in twenty twenty three,

369
00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:22,360
Speaker 2: where he's stunk like he's stunk from a batting average standpoint,

370
00:16:22,360 --> 00:16:24,560
Speaker 2: he hit two oh three. That's where some of my

371
00:16:24,640 --> 00:16:26,880
Speaker 2: warriors come from. He hit two sixty this past year.

372
00:16:27,120 --> 00:16:30,320
Speaker 2: Expected batting average kind of supports barreled a little bit more.

373
00:16:30,640 --> 00:16:32,800
Speaker 2: He did dip his strikeouts down. He struck out thirty

374
00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:34,960
Speaker 2: five percent of the time the year prior. That came

375
00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:38,120
Speaker 2: down to twenty five percent this past year. But I

376
00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:41,720
Speaker 2: guess my problem is with him, the cost is very high.

377
00:16:41,840 --> 00:16:44,120
Speaker 2: You know, he's going around like top seventy five. Maybe

378
00:16:44,160 --> 00:16:46,040
Speaker 2: he jumps down a little bit. But I feel like

379
00:16:46,080 --> 00:16:48,160
Speaker 2: if Lawrence Butler goes, people are like, I've got to

380
00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:50,880
Speaker 2: get Brenton Doyle because boom, this is a twenty thirty guy.

381
00:16:51,040 --> 00:16:52,600
Speaker 2: But I think there are some things to be concerned

382
00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:54,520
Speaker 2: about he struggled in the second half of the year.

383
00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:56,920
Speaker 2: He hit two seventy six in the first half, two

384
00:16:57,000 --> 00:17:00,800
Speaker 2: thirty four in the second half. Strikeouts were coming back up.

385
00:17:00,840 --> 00:17:04,920
Speaker 2: Plus he has massive home road splits. That's always something

386
00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:08,000
Speaker 2: to pay attention to with Colorado guys. The positive point

387
00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:10,040
Speaker 2: is he does get to hit in Colorado, so don't

388
00:17:10,040 --> 00:17:12,760
Speaker 2: take that away. But he hit over three hundred in

389
00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:16,240
Speaker 2: Colorado this past year, only two to eleven on the road.

390
00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:19,919
Speaker 2: That is a horrific That is the quintessential horrific split

391
00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:22,960
Speaker 2: for a Colorado player. I will say he did still

392
00:17:23,080 --> 00:17:25,639
Speaker 2: hit double digit homers and steal double digit bases on

393
00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:28,000
Speaker 2: the road. I'm just a little bit worried that you

394
00:17:28,080 --> 00:17:30,080
Speaker 2: have kind of extremes a year where he hit two

395
00:17:30,119 --> 00:17:32,720
Speaker 2: oh three, then he jumps up to two sixty expected

396
00:17:32,720 --> 00:17:35,960
Speaker 2: batting averages down huge home road splits. I just don't

397
00:17:36,040 --> 00:17:39,520
Speaker 2: love I don't love the cost on it, and I

398
00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:41,040
Speaker 2: think he's going to come back down to earth a

399
00:17:41,080 --> 00:17:43,200
Speaker 2: little bit. So he's kind of a bust Steer and

400
00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:46,000
Speaker 2: Nemo they kind of speak to the same general space.

401
00:17:46,720 --> 00:17:50,560
Speaker 2: Spencer Steer me picking on these Reds guys. I guess

402
00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:56,600
Speaker 2: had great counting stats horror. Yeah, but it's horrific batting profile.

403
00:17:56,760 --> 00:17:59,479
Speaker 2: The average was stinky, and I'm not sure that it's

404
00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:02,320
Speaker 2: going to bounce back. Plus I know they have this

405
00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:05,560
Speaker 2: foreseeable commitment to him, but they have just got all

406
00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:08,480
Speaker 2: of these players where I'm not sure Steer is positive

407
00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:10,480
Speaker 2: because he can move around to different spots and he

408
00:18:10,560 --> 00:18:13,320
Speaker 2: might not ever get really platoon but there's a potential

409
00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:15,840
Speaker 2: for that. Plus the batting average was coming down, and

410
00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:18,399
Speaker 2: I think he sinks you in that territory. And frankly,

411
00:18:18,440 --> 00:18:20,879
Speaker 2: there's other twenty twenty guys that are going cheaper that

412
00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:23,159
Speaker 2: have bad batting average that you can bet on. So

413
00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:25,320
Speaker 2: I'm just not really here for like the Steer and

414
00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:28,439
Speaker 2: Matt McClain costs with that batting average, and you know,

415
00:18:28,480 --> 00:18:31,639
Speaker 2: you spoke to Nemo. Listen, you're not necessarily wrong, but

416
00:18:31,680 --> 00:18:34,280
Speaker 2: the thing that was great about Nemo was that really

417
00:18:34,359 --> 00:18:37,280
Speaker 2: high batting average, and that kind of went away. He

418
00:18:37,359 --> 00:18:41,000
Speaker 2: doesn't really have massive counting stats that are added to it.

419
00:18:41,040 --> 00:18:42,520
Speaker 2: So it's like, if you're not giving me the high

420
00:18:42,560 --> 00:18:45,679
Speaker 2: batting average, I think that's taking away a bit some

421
00:18:45,760 --> 00:18:47,960
Speaker 2: of those counting stats that are already a little bit

422
00:18:48,080 --> 00:18:52,320
Speaker 2: muted and his cost isn't exactly cheap. So two twenty

423
00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:54,600
Speaker 2: four this past season, he only had a two forty

424
00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:57,480
Speaker 2: four expected batting average. Some of the profile is still

425
00:18:57,480 --> 00:18:59,520
Speaker 2: there on the hard hit and barrel, and maybe that's

426
00:18:59,560 --> 00:19:01,880
Speaker 2: going to boutounce back, but at the end of the day,

427
00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:04,080
Speaker 2: I'm not sure we get to that twenty and fifteen.

428
00:19:04,520 --> 00:19:06,440
Speaker 2: I could just eat my words on these and I

429
00:19:06,520 --> 00:19:08,560
Speaker 2: kind of picked on all players that had really bad

430
00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:12,080
Speaker 2: batting averages, and that might be me bouncing back wanting

431
00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:14,199
Speaker 2: to focus on batting average more this year. I'm just

432
00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:16,840
Speaker 2: not sold to specifically on Steer Nemo that the batting

433
00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:19,080
Speaker 2: average comes back and that makes up for a lot

434
00:19:19,119 --> 00:19:21,720
Speaker 2: of that stuff. And Brenton Doyle again, I might just

435
00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:24,840
Speaker 2: eat my words, but top one hundred with that, I'm

436
00:19:24,880 --> 00:19:25,360
Speaker 2: just not there.

437
00:19:25,480 --> 00:19:28,200
Speaker 1: I do agree Doyle's going a little early. I will

438
00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:30,920
Speaker 1: Brent Rooker. I'm probably you know more, you'll see a

439
00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:32,680
Speaker 1: lot more Brent Rooker on my rosters, and he will

440
00:19:32,680 --> 00:19:36,240
Speaker 1: Doyle same because I just the like tower power. I'm

441
00:19:36,280 --> 00:19:39,040
Speaker 1: just here for it. However, with Brandon Nimmo, just to

442
00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:41,520
Speaker 1: chew back there, you know, it's the lowest Babbage of

443
00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:43,920
Speaker 1: his career by a wide margin to sixty seven the

444
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:46,680
Speaker 1: years before three twenty seven, three seventeen, three sixty six,

445
00:19:46,720 --> 00:19:49,440
Speaker 1: three twenty six, two ninety three, three fifty one. I mean,

446
00:19:49,920 --> 00:19:53,480
Speaker 1: like Brendon Nimmo, I think the batting average is going

447
00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:55,679
Speaker 1: to bounce back. I think, you know, last year you

448
00:19:55,720 --> 00:19:57,560
Speaker 1: can look and say, just things didn't go his way there.

449
00:19:57,560 --> 00:19:59,720
Speaker 1: But if he's going to maintain these stolen bases, give

450
00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:01,840
Speaker 1: me twenty home runs, driving eighty plus runs, which he

451
00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:03,760
Speaker 1: will if he's hitting four, if he'sit in five, he's

452
00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:06,080
Speaker 1: hitting six. In that lineup, I don't care. That lineup

453
00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:08,840
Speaker 1: is gonna be really good this year. I think Nimo

454
00:20:08,960 --> 00:20:10,560
Speaker 1: is going to have a much better season than the

455
00:20:10,680 --> 00:20:13,720
Speaker 1: guy who's number one on my list, Michael Harris. I

456
00:20:13,760 --> 00:20:17,159
Speaker 1: have a comparison. While you were talking, I finally figured

457
00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:20,439
Speaker 1: out who Michael Harris. Is You ready for this?

458
00:20:20,840 --> 00:20:21,240
Speaker 2: All right?

459
00:20:22,840 --> 00:20:25,040
Speaker 1: Lorenzo Kine. That's who I loved.

460
00:20:25,119 --> 00:20:26,040
Speaker 2: Lorenzo Kine.

461
00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:28,600
Speaker 1: I love him too. He is a lovely human being too.

462
00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:29,919
Speaker 1: I got to do a show with him once. He

463
00:20:30,040 --> 00:20:32,920
Speaker 1: is so nice, big football guy. Yeah, I did a

464
00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:33,640
Speaker 1: show with him once.

465
00:20:34,320 --> 00:20:36,280
Speaker 2: Awesome, Lorenzo Kine, shoutou.

466
00:20:35,960 --> 00:20:40,280
Speaker 1: Out Lorenzo Kane, but statistically profile wise, Lorenzo Kine was

467
00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:41,600
Speaker 1: a guy that looked like you should have been hitting

468
00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:43,960
Speaker 1: twenty five thirty home runs everywhere right like he was

469
00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:46,159
Speaker 1: just he looked you know that that phrase they use

470
00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:48,760
Speaker 1: in Major League Baseball. He's what they look like. Lorenzo

471
00:20:48,840 --> 00:20:50,919
Speaker 1: Kin's what they look like. Man, that guy is a stud.

472
00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:54,199
Speaker 1: But from a statistical standpoint, he is a guy that

473
00:20:54,440 --> 00:20:57,480
Speaker 1: was typically underwhelming. He never hit twenty home runs in

474
00:20:57,520 --> 00:21:00,280
Speaker 1: the season. His high was sixteen. He is a guy

475
00:21:00,320 --> 00:21:02,280
Speaker 1: that did give you some speed, would give you twenty

476
00:21:02,280 --> 00:21:05,639
Speaker 1: eight steel thirty steals. Now, Michael Harris hasn't quite reached

477
00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:08,480
Speaker 1: that level yet at all. I just want to put

478
00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:12,400
Speaker 1: that out there as well. He's reached twenty twice last year,

479
00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:14,600
Speaker 1: just gave one hundred and ten games. You know, so

480
00:21:14,920 --> 00:21:17,000
Speaker 1: again the injuries last year a little bit. I'm not

481
00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:18,520
Speaker 1: saying Michael Harris is a bad player, and at twenty

482
00:21:18,520 --> 00:21:21,000
Speaker 1: three years old, he could continue to grow. What I'm

483
00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:23,040
Speaker 1: saying is I think he's a little bit more Lorenzo

484
00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:26,639
Speaker 1: Caine than he is Kyle Tucker, and I feel like

485
00:21:26,760 --> 00:21:30,680
Speaker 1: the fantasy space looks at him, sees what he quote

486
00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:33,240
Speaker 1: unquote looks like in terms of it, he just looks

487
00:21:33,280 --> 00:21:35,359
Speaker 1: good doing it. Jason Hayward was another guy too. You know,

488
00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:38,720
Speaker 1: people forget Jason Hayward took everybody by storm in Atlanta.

489
00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:40,800
Speaker 1: He was gonna be the next great Atlanta Braves superstar

490
00:21:41,080 --> 00:21:43,399
Speaker 1: until he wasn't. And he was another guy that looked

491
00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:46,560
Speaker 1: the part. The power never really developed. He had some

492
00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:48,800
Speaker 1: stolen base, you know, ability, but at the end of

493
00:21:48,840 --> 00:21:51,080
Speaker 1: the day, he just never realized his full potential. I

494
00:21:51,119 --> 00:21:52,760
Speaker 1: think just think that's what Michael Harris is. And I

495
00:21:52,760 --> 00:21:55,600
Speaker 1: think you can get Michael Harris's productivity at a brandon

496
00:21:55,640 --> 00:21:57,520
Speaker 1: Neimo one hundred picks later, and I'm just not in

497
00:21:57,560 --> 00:21:57,720
Speaker 1: for it.

498
00:21:57,800 --> 00:21:59,200
Speaker 2: You know what's interesting. I just want to throw one

499
00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:01,040
Speaker 2: thing in here too. I'm so glad you did that

500
00:22:01,040 --> 00:22:02,800
Speaker 2: because I was literally going to compare these two.

501
00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:04,680
Speaker 1: I like when we fight about players in argue because

502
00:22:04,720 --> 00:22:06,359
Speaker 1: I think it's good for everybody out there who is

503
00:22:06,680 --> 00:22:09,320
Speaker 1: unsure on the fence, because we're giving we're providing you

504
00:22:09,359 --> 00:22:11,120
Speaker 1: with the arguments to make your own decisions. Here.

505
00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:13,800
Speaker 2: Well, so another thing I wanted to add on Animo,

506
00:22:14,040 --> 00:22:17,280
Speaker 2: and this totally correlates here. One of the things limit

507
00:22:17,320 --> 00:22:20,240
Speaker 2: did really well. The year prior to this past year

508
00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:22,439
Speaker 2: was he was an all pitch hitter. And what I

509
00:22:22,480 --> 00:22:24,760
Speaker 2: mean by that is like he's hitting off speed stuff,

510
00:22:24,840 --> 00:22:27,800
Speaker 2: high batting averages against off speed and breaking pitches, and

511
00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:30,160
Speaker 2: then he was doing decent against fastball. This past year

512
00:22:30,840 --> 00:22:33,760
Speaker 2: all fastball, he had a thirteen run value against fastballs.

513
00:22:33,880 --> 00:22:35,959
Speaker 2: He was hitting like almost under two hundred against off

514
00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:38,760
Speaker 2: breaking speed and off speed stuff or breaking and off

515
00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:41,000
Speaker 2: speed stuff, So that worries me. If that bounces back,

516
00:22:41,040 --> 00:22:43,640
Speaker 2: that's good, But the expected numbers didn't tell that story

517
00:22:43,760 --> 00:22:45,800
Speaker 2: where he can hit offspeed and breaking stuff againt, So

518
00:22:45,840 --> 00:22:47,919
Speaker 2: if he's only a fastball hitter, I think that mitigates it.

519
00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:51,240
Speaker 2: Back to Michael Harris. What's the interesting thing about Michael

520
00:22:51,240 --> 00:22:54,399
Speaker 2: Harris higher batting averages against breaking and off speed stuff

521
00:22:54,400 --> 00:22:57,320
Speaker 2: while still being at least a two fifty hitter against fastballs.

522
00:22:57,520 --> 00:23:00,000
Speaker 2: He had more homers against breaking pitches than anything else,

523
00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:03,479
Speaker 2: and that's been pretty consistent about his career. That's what

524
00:23:03,560 --> 00:23:05,480
Speaker 2: I do like about Michael Harris. Now, to be fair,

525
00:23:05,520 --> 00:23:08,880
Speaker 2: if we compare these two players, Nemo is a dramatically

526
00:23:08,880 --> 00:23:11,520
Speaker 2: better cost than both of them. If the projections are

527
00:23:11,560 --> 00:23:14,920
Speaker 2: in the same standpoint, they're a little bit different. ATC

528
00:23:15,119 --> 00:23:18,080
Speaker 2: has Nemo at nineteen homers, eight stolen bases and only

529
00:23:18,119 --> 00:23:20,520
Speaker 2: a two forty six average. I think that's blah. But

530
00:23:20,600 --> 00:23:24,320
Speaker 2: Michael Harris, the projections are they're better than probably what

531
00:23:24,359 --> 00:23:26,720
Speaker 2: you're gonna expect, but they're still not like, does he

532
00:23:26,760 --> 00:23:29,040
Speaker 2: deserve to be a top fifty? The projections are twenty

533
00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:32,919
Speaker 2: one eighteen stolen bases with a two seventy nine average.

534
00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:36,640
Speaker 2: Big boost, and then the final pull together. It's in

535
00:23:36,680 --> 00:23:39,840
Speaker 2: my face. Brenton Doyle is projected better twenty one homers,

536
00:23:39,840 --> 00:23:42,200
Speaker 2: twenty seven stolen bases over all those guys, and I'm

537
00:23:42,200 --> 00:23:45,640
Speaker 2: busting him with those splits. But the profile, when we're

538
00:23:45,640 --> 00:23:47,840
Speaker 2: talking about types of hitters, Michael Harris is still an

539
00:23:47,880 --> 00:23:51,320
Speaker 2: all pitch type of hitter where Nimo really regressed last year,

540
00:23:51,359 --> 00:23:53,560
Speaker 2: and it's going to be can he improve that? And

541
00:23:53,640 --> 00:23:56,560
Speaker 2: also could Michael Harris be susceptible to that because he's

542
00:23:56,600 --> 00:23:59,560
Speaker 2: also not a loud counting stats type of player.

543
00:23:59,800 --> 00:24:02,399
Speaker 1: He's not he's not scoring one hundred runs in the

544
00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:05,439
Speaker 1: Braves line, doesn't steal forty bases, or he's just frustrating. Right,

545
00:24:05,560 --> 00:24:07,360
Speaker 1: You're like you're playing for the Braves. I don't. Last

546
00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:10,160
Speaker 1: year everybody was hurt, but still even those other previous seasons,

547
00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:11,480
Speaker 1: Like and if you're gonna have at the top of

548
00:24:11,520 --> 00:24:14,440
Speaker 1: the order, obviously it's gonna hurt his his RBI potential.

549
00:24:14,520 --> 00:24:17,000
Speaker 1: So and if he gets dropped, it's gonna hurt the

550
00:24:17,040 --> 00:24:19,760
Speaker 1: pitches he sees. There's a lot of reasons why. Michael

551
00:24:19,800 --> 00:24:21,400
Speaker 1: Harris to me, is a guy that I just do

552
00:24:21,480 --> 00:24:23,920
Speaker 1: not think is worthy of where he gets drafted.

553
00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:26,680
Speaker 2: I like that, but maybe the cost is a little

554
00:24:26,680 --> 00:24:28,360
Speaker 2: bit I like against him.

555
00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:30,680
Speaker 1: If you're telling me, like you could have Louis Robert

556
00:24:30,760 --> 00:24:32,000
Speaker 1: or Michael Harris, were you kidding me?

557
00:24:32,760 --> 00:24:32,840
Speaker 3: Like?

558
00:24:33,440 --> 00:24:34,359
Speaker 1: Sorry, there's a.

559
00:24:34,320 --> 00:24:36,840
Speaker 2: Big batting average difference the two average.

560
00:24:36,840 --> 00:24:39,440
Speaker 1: I know, but like a big homers and steals difference

561
00:24:39,600 --> 00:24:41,959
Speaker 1: and a guy who might hit me thirty five forty home.

562
00:24:42,359 --> 00:24:45,399
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, Like that, dude, is that good? Louise Robert

563
00:24:45,440 --> 00:24:47,840
Speaker 1: is a monster? Uh? Another guy on this list to

564
00:24:48,600 --> 00:24:51,560
Speaker 1: Pete crow Armstrong. Now look, I watched him a ton

565
00:24:51,560 --> 00:24:53,600
Speaker 1: of the Mets organization. I was never super impressed with

566
00:24:53,640 --> 00:24:56,679
Speaker 1: the bat Now I know they made a trade sent

567
00:24:56,840 --> 00:25:00,880
Speaker 1: to Chicago last year obviously struggled mightily in the first

568
00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:03,480
Speaker 1: half of the year, hit just two oh three with

569
00:25:03,520 --> 00:25:05,400
Speaker 1: a five eighty two OPS. And then the second half

570
00:25:05,440 --> 00:25:08,280
Speaker 1: was better, right, seven homers to sixty two, batting average

571
00:25:09,720 --> 00:25:12,399
Speaker 1: seven thirty six OPS. It's fine, right, but the OBP

572
00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:15,120
Speaker 1: was still three ten. Like this is to me, Pete

573
00:25:15,119 --> 00:25:17,520
Speaker 1: crow Armstrong. It's like, I feel like everybody wants him

574
00:25:17,560 --> 00:25:19,760
Speaker 1: to be and he's fun, he's exciting, he's a good

575
00:25:19,800 --> 00:25:22,320
Speaker 1: defensive player, like he plays with his hair on fire.

576
00:25:22,520 --> 00:25:25,200
Speaker 1: I like him as a baseball player. But this is fantasy.

577
00:25:25,280 --> 00:25:28,320
Speaker 1: This is business, and from a business standpoint, I think

578
00:25:28,359 --> 00:25:31,480
Speaker 1: the fantasy baseball community wants crow Armstrong to be so

579
00:25:31,560 --> 00:25:34,840
Speaker 1: good that they are talking themselves into him being better

580
00:25:34,880 --> 00:25:37,199
Speaker 1: than he was last year. And I'm just not buying it.

581
00:25:37,280 --> 00:25:39,640
Speaker 1: I'm not buying it at ADP. I think it's absurd.

582
00:25:39,880 --> 00:25:42,399
Speaker 1: I'm out. Jason Dominguez is going to the same ADP.

583
00:25:42,480 --> 00:25:44,840
Speaker 1: So it was Brandon Nimo and Divilon Cruz. Are you

584
00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:47,879
Speaker 1: kidding me? I want Dylan Cruz way more than I

585
00:25:47,960 --> 00:25:50,520
Speaker 1: want Peak crow arms It's absurd. Right now, I can't

586
00:25:50,560 --> 00:25:52,440
Speaker 1: even talk. I get so upset about it. And the

587
00:25:52,520 --> 00:25:54,359
Speaker 1: last guy I told you last year he was a bust.

588
00:25:54,480 --> 00:25:57,040
Speaker 1: I told you he doesn't have the goods. Nobody listened

589
00:25:57,080 --> 00:25:59,520
Speaker 1: to me. It's Evan Carter. And for those people buying

590
00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:02,720
Speaker 1: back in, just don't don't do it. He is not

591
00:26:02,840 --> 00:26:05,400
Speaker 1: that good. I could tell you by just the first

592
00:26:05,560 --> 00:26:08,480
Speaker 1: at bat I ever saw. He's okay, he's going to

593
00:26:08,520 --> 00:26:10,840
Speaker 1: struggle against left handed pitching. He's going to struggle with this.

594
00:26:10,840 --> 00:26:13,160
Speaker 1: He's gona struggle with that. I went on rants last

595
00:26:13,240 --> 00:26:15,359
Speaker 1: year because you remember it was Evan Carter and Whyaet

596
00:26:15,400 --> 00:26:17,600
Speaker 1: Langford were neck and neck, and some people like Carter better.

597
00:26:17,680 --> 00:26:19,800
Speaker 1: And all I kept saying was do your eyes work

598
00:26:20,400 --> 00:26:22,760
Speaker 1: because I don't think they do, because Wyatt Langford is

599
00:26:22,800 --> 00:26:25,359
Speaker 1: a dude and Evan Carter is just a guy. And

600
00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:26,080
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, Like.

601
00:26:26,359 --> 00:26:27,920
Speaker 2: I don't know why I got to hate him so much.

602
00:26:27,960 --> 00:26:30,479
Speaker 2: He did struggle last year. I had pointed out, like

603
00:26:30,560 --> 00:26:33,040
Speaker 2: the lefty stuff was a big, major problem, but he

604
00:26:33,080 --> 00:26:35,280
Speaker 2: was a monster in the minor leagues. He I will

605
00:26:35,320 --> 00:26:37,399
Speaker 2: say this, he did talk about He's talked about in

606
00:26:37,440 --> 00:26:39,520
Speaker 2: the offseason. I think it was a Rangers like fantasy

607
00:26:39,560 --> 00:26:41,600
Speaker 2: fests they had that there was some shoulder there were

608
00:26:41,640 --> 00:26:44,280
Speaker 2: some injury stuff that was lingering something to monitor, but

609
00:26:44,359 --> 00:26:47,840
Speaker 2: I did always think the counting stats were a bit overinflated.

610
00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:50,199
Speaker 2: He is getting to the point where he's kind of free.

611
00:26:50,320 --> 00:26:52,160
Speaker 2: I gotta I agree with you on the Peak Crow stuff.

612
00:26:52,160 --> 00:26:54,320
Speaker 2: I'm not about Pete Crow. He's around ranges of players.

613
00:26:54,359 --> 00:26:56,320
Speaker 2: I just know, thanks, I'm not gonna do it. I

614
00:26:56,320 --> 00:26:58,520
Speaker 2: don't I want the other guys, and I'm worried that

615
00:26:58,680 --> 00:27:02,000
Speaker 2: Pete Crow's counting stats are a bit overinflated. Carter is

616
00:27:02,040 --> 00:27:04,240
Speaker 2: tough though, because he is so free, and I think

617
00:27:04,280 --> 00:27:06,400
Speaker 2: there could be an injury thing that plays in there.

618
00:27:06,440 --> 00:27:09,840
Speaker 2: But the problem is is so unimpactful against lefties that

619
00:27:10,200 --> 00:27:12,480
Speaker 2: maybe he really truly needs to be a Splits type

620
00:27:12,480 --> 00:27:14,480
Speaker 2: of player. But we'll see. I mean, you know, I

621
00:27:14,480 --> 00:27:15,199
Speaker 2: watched him on the.

622
00:27:15,240 --> 00:27:17,760
Speaker 1: Right side of them too, and so that's the good news.

623
00:27:17,760 --> 00:27:19,400
Speaker 1: But the bad news if he's not an everyday player,

624
00:27:19,520 --> 00:27:21,879
Speaker 1: he's gonna hurt you. And I just fear that if

625
00:27:21,880 --> 00:27:24,680
Speaker 1: he has a good spring, it's going to rocket ship

626
00:27:24,760 --> 00:27:26,840
Speaker 1: the ADP and everyone's gonna buy back in. And I

627
00:27:26,840 --> 00:27:29,320
Speaker 1: think it's gonna be like the Jordan Walker post hype,

628
00:27:29,400 --> 00:27:32,439
Speaker 1: Jackson Holliday love all those dudes. Evan Carter just not

629
00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:35,119
Speaker 1: buying it. Let's get through the next grouping of outfielders.

630
00:27:35,119 --> 00:27:37,879
Speaker 1: Here it's still twenty five and on Louis Robert at

631
00:27:37,880 --> 00:27:40,240
Speaker 1: twenty five. Yes, please, Brian Reynolds, this group, to me

632
00:27:40,359 --> 00:27:44,240
Speaker 1: is really valuable. Brian Reynolds, Cody Bellinger on the bounce

633
00:27:44,280 --> 00:27:47,360
Speaker 1: back in Yankee Stadium, Spencer Steer, Seya Suzuki, Riley Green

634
00:27:47,400 --> 00:27:49,359
Speaker 1: a player we love here. It is Mike Trout one

635
00:27:49,400 --> 00:27:53,119
Speaker 1: on one overall thirty first outfielder, Christian Yelich, Ian Happ,

636
00:27:53,200 --> 00:27:56,480
Speaker 1: Randy Rose Arena, a perennial twenty twenty guy at Elise Garcia,

637
00:27:56,840 --> 00:27:59,040
Speaker 1: and then Stephen Kwan. So you've got a little bit

638
00:27:59,080 --> 00:28:00,840
Speaker 1: of everything here. But this is kind of an interesting

639
00:28:01,880 --> 00:28:05,120
Speaker 1: I almost feel like this tier is where you want

640
00:28:05,119 --> 00:28:07,200
Speaker 1: to live a little bit more, where I think it's

641
00:28:07,240 --> 00:28:09,800
Speaker 1: a little bit safer. I think it's it's got some

642
00:28:09,920 --> 00:28:12,280
Speaker 1: upside in it too, and it's cheaper. I love the

643
00:28:12,320 --> 00:28:15,840
Speaker 1: outfielder three group this year. I think they have a

644
00:28:15,840 --> 00:28:18,440
Speaker 1: little even less volatility than the outfielder two group because

645
00:28:18,440 --> 00:28:20,920
Speaker 1: we just pulled some We just pulled two bus each

646
00:28:20,960 --> 00:28:22,120
Speaker 1: from the outfielder two group.

647
00:28:23,440 --> 00:28:25,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's interesting. You see that I actually kind of

648
00:28:25,280 --> 00:28:28,120
Speaker 2: feel like I probably want two guys out of that

649
00:28:29,119 --> 00:28:30,840
Speaker 2: second tier, you know, because I said I have a

650
00:28:30,840 --> 00:28:33,320
Speaker 2: couple of guys I'm really adamant about. I do want

651
00:28:33,359 --> 00:28:35,439
Speaker 2: one guy out of this group. The problem is is

652
00:28:35,480 --> 00:28:39,480
Speaker 2: like it's probably me buying back, like buy back on

653
00:28:39,600 --> 00:28:41,920
Speaker 2: Robert I hate to say it, buy back on Trout,

654
00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:44,440
Speaker 2: like it's just so late and he's going to DH more.

655
00:28:44,480 --> 00:28:47,240
Speaker 2: It's probably gonna be something outside outside the top one hundred.

656
00:28:47,360 --> 00:28:48,840
Speaker 2: I just I think he can't.

657
00:28:48,880 --> 00:28:50,600
Speaker 1: Well, that's a question, right, I mean, Mike Trout, we

658
00:28:50,640 --> 00:28:53,560
Speaker 1: got to talk about it. He's at one oh one

659
00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:55,760
Speaker 1: and Yellowish is at one oh seven.

660
00:28:56,160 --> 00:28:59,040
Speaker 2: So you want to hear project I'll pull projections. You

661
00:28:59,040 --> 00:28:59,920
Speaker 2: don't want to hear projection?

662
00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:01,640
Speaker 1: Sure? Do you know? My answer is to both of

663
00:29:01,640 --> 00:29:04,720
Speaker 1: those questions, what Riley Green?

664
00:29:05,440 --> 00:29:09,440
Speaker 2: I'd I like Riley Green, great hitting, hitting profile. All right,

665
00:29:09,640 --> 00:29:12,160
Speaker 2: let's do this. I'm gonna give you or you take

666
00:29:12,200 --> 00:29:14,160
Speaker 2: a guess on the projections, take a guess on the

667
00:29:14,200 --> 00:29:17,920
Speaker 2: games played for ATC We're gonna use Aerial City TC. Yeah,

668
00:29:17,960 --> 00:29:19,600
Speaker 2: for Mike Trout. First, we'll do the games.

669
00:29:20,120 --> 00:29:22,280
Speaker 1: If it's over one hundred and one, it can't be right.

670
00:29:22,760 --> 00:29:26,760
Speaker 2: One hundred and eleven ATC number one accuracy projections. So,

671
00:29:26,800 --> 00:29:28,760
Speaker 2: now that you know one hundred and eleven games, what

672
00:29:28,800 --> 00:29:31,160
Speaker 2: do you think the batting average is out? We'll start there,

673
00:29:31,600 --> 00:29:33,520
Speaker 2: not that the games matter for the two sixty four

674
00:29:34,200 --> 00:29:36,280
Speaker 2: a little bit lower, actually two fifty six. Now, what

675
00:29:36,280 --> 00:29:38,320
Speaker 2: do you think the homers are one hundred eleven games

676
00:29:38,360 --> 00:29:40,360
Speaker 2: at two fifty six home runs?

677
00:29:40,800 --> 00:29:45,080
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say twenty four very close.

678
00:29:45,160 --> 00:29:48,760
Speaker 2: Twenty eight though, twenty eight homers. Ron Washington is there.

679
00:29:48,800 --> 00:29:50,920
Speaker 2: They do like to run. He won't be in the outfield.

680
00:29:51,160 --> 00:29:52,840
Speaker 2: What do you think the stolen bases are? What do

681
00:29:52,880 --> 00:29:56,000
Speaker 2: you think the stolen base two seven and then around

682
00:29:56,080 --> 00:29:57,959
Speaker 2: seventy run seventy rbi.

683
00:29:58,680 --> 00:30:01,880
Speaker 1: You know that's about on the Mike Trout stole steals

684
00:30:01,880 --> 00:30:02,880
Speaker 1: on the air, please.

685
00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:04,960
Speaker 2: I think that, well, he was stealing before he got hurt.

686
00:30:04,960 --> 00:30:07,240
Speaker 2: I think he stole ten bases or something before he

687
00:30:07,320 --> 00:30:09,680
Speaker 2: ended up getting hurt. I'm here for Mike Trout at

688
00:30:09,720 --> 00:30:12,680
Speaker 2: the cost because now you're not stomaching, you're getting him

689
00:30:12,680 --> 00:30:15,520
Speaker 2: an outfielder three or four. You can see a bottom

690
00:30:15,560 --> 00:30:18,520
Speaker 2: line projection. He is going to dh some more. I

691
00:30:18,520 --> 00:30:20,560
Speaker 2: know this was a Byron buckson argument last year and.

692
00:30:20,520 --> 00:30:23,160
Speaker 1: Stuff like this, when do we start? Like, when do

693
00:30:23,240 --> 00:30:26,200
Speaker 1: we when do we start? I mean every year, it's

694
00:30:26,240 --> 00:30:28,360
Speaker 1: like it's like a new low where we set ourselves

695
00:30:28,440 --> 00:30:30,840
Speaker 1: up for failure when it comes. Yeah, but like one

696
00:30:30,880 --> 00:30:33,920
Speaker 1: overall to the turn with the turn to the fifty

697
00:30:34,120 --> 00:30:36,400
Speaker 1: and Pianowski was on last year and he was crushing

698
00:30:36,400 --> 00:30:36,600
Speaker 1: it all.

699
00:30:36,680 --> 00:30:38,920
Speaker 2: I was just about to say, yeah, like the Pianowski thing,

700
00:30:38,960 --> 00:30:42,400
Speaker 2: by the way, six stolen bases. I was right before

701
00:30:42,400 --> 00:30:44,440
Speaker 2: Trout got hurt. I was like, he's a deal, blah

702
00:30:44,480 --> 00:30:47,280
Speaker 2: blah blah. And if Pianowski was one hundred right in

703
00:30:47,280 --> 00:30:49,520
Speaker 2: my face, it was the injury he got hurt. My

704
00:30:49,600 --> 00:30:52,760
Speaker 2: only argument again is he Trout was looking like a hug.

705
00:30:52,800 --> 00:30:54,120
Speaker 2: I mean his batting average did Who was.

706
00:30:54,120 --> 00:30:55,920
Speaker 1: A better returnal investment at the stage of their career,

707
00:30:55,960 --> 00:30:59,960
Speaker 1: Byron Boxed or Mike Trout. I think Trout I'm still

708
00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:01,720
Speaker 1: pay top one hundred for I'm not bar and Bucks, No,

709
00:31:01,760 --> 00:31:03,360
Speaker 1: it's outside the top one hundred for Trout.

710
00:31:03,400 --> 00:31:08,080
Speaker 2: Trout is one Trouts. N FBC here, okay, NFBC drafts

711
00:31:08,280 --> 00:31:11,520
Speaker 2: the thirtieth outfielder won twenty seven. That does boost up

712
00:31:11,560 --> 00:31:12,040
Speaker 2: catchers and.

713
00:31:12,040 --> 00:31:14,960
Speaker 1: Stuff, and you know what. You know what though, regardless

714
00:31:14,960 --> 00:31:17,840
Speaker 1: of the boosting of a catcher, when that tells you

715
00:31:17,880 --> 00:31:20,160
Speaker 1: the quote unquote experts, you know, like the people who

716
00:31:20,160 --> 00:31:23,560
Speaker 1: are playing the big money leagues, they don't see it

717
00:31:23,560 --> 00:31:26,080
Speaker 1: the same as the casuals. The casuals are still buying

718
00:31:26,080 --> 00:31:28,920
Speaker 1: in and everybody else is like not ready for the

719
00:31:28,960 --> 00:31:32,160
Speaker 1: top one hundred one twenty five. That's I think more telling.

720
00:31:32,600 --> 00:31:33,160
Speaker 1: I mean bad.

721
00:31:33,520 --> 00:31:35,680
Speaker 2: I think he's depressed a little bit. Because closers and

722
00:31:35,720 --> 00:31:37,920
Speaker 2: catchers come up that might speak to it. It's probably

723
00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:41,120
Speaker 2: still about it cost thirtieth outfielder. My argument, like, listen,

724
00:31:41,120 --> 00:31:43,000
Speaker 2: you know what you're getting in for. If my you

725
00:31:43,080 --> 00:31:45,680
Speaker 2: draft Mike Trout, he might play forty games and then

726
00:31:45,680 --> 00:31:47,960
Speaker 2: he's out for the season again and it's done. But

727
00:31:48,160 --> 00:31:51,280
Speaker 2: if he is dhing and he comes past this, you're

728
00:31:51,320 --> 00:31:54,040
Speaker 2: potentially looking at thirty Homer's ten stolen bases and it's

729
00:31:54,080 --> 00:31:56,440
Speaker 2: Mike Trout. Like, listen, it's a it could be a problem.

730
00:31:57,000 --> 00:31:59,280
Speaker 2: It's more inherent risk. It's more inherent risk.

731
00:31:59,320 --> 00:32:01,600
Speaker 1: I get it. He needs a change of venue. I mean,

732
00:32:01,640 --> 00:32:04,680
Speaker 1: I wish the Phillies or somebody will make remove I

733
00:32:04,720 --> 00:32:06,960
Speaker 1: don't know I mean that my truck contract doesn't seem

734
00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:09,480
Speaker 1: to absurd now compared to what's going on. I mean

735
00:32:09,480 --> 00:32:11,360
Speaker 1: that's the problem is like you're gonna have the angels,

736
00:32:11,400 --> 00:32:12,520
Speaker 1: probably have to eat some of it.

737
00:32:12,440 --> 00:32:14,480
Speaker 2: But yeah, but what was the angels gonna the Anthony

738
00:32:14,520 --> 00:32:17,200
Speaker 2: Rendon's gonna be the face of that organization. You gotta

739
00:32:17,240 --> 00:32:19,440
Speaker 2: have somebody they then that's why they're not never gonna

740
00:32:19,440 --> 00:32:21,600
Speaker 2: get rid of Trout. They lost to Tani. Trout's there,

741
00:32:21,600 --> 00:32:23,960
Speaker 2: he's stuck quick.

742
00:32:23,680 --> 00:32:26,920
Speaker 1: Sink again like looking through the rest of his adp

743
00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:29,560
Speaker 1: yor after Kwan Dominguez, Crol Armstrong, Nemo. These are like

744
00:32:29,600 --> 00:32:32,320
Speaker 1: the debatable guys, right, Dylan Cruz. I feel like this

745

Speaker 1: What more do you need to see Jackson Merril? He

768
00:33:38,280 --> 00:33:42,160
Speaker 1: was terrific last year. I want Jackson Merrill. I wasn't

769
00:33:42,200 --> 00:33:44,360
Speaker 1: picking anybody in the top ten, but he is right

770
00:33:44,360 --> 00:33:46,760
Speaker 1: outside of that grouping and I feel like, hey, if

771
00:33:46,800 --> 00:33:48,960
Speaker 1: you hit the infield early and I believe he was

772
00:33:48,960 --> 00:33:51,239
Speaker 1: on the roster. I just drafted right where I had to.

773
00:33:51,400 --> 00:33:53,880
Speaker 1: I think it was jos Ramrez and Freeman. Then I

774
00:33:53,920 --> 00:33:55,520
Speaker 1: hit Jackson Merrill up there. I was like, look, you

775
00:33:55,560 --> 00:33:58,800
Speaker 1: know what, I still think he's in that upper echelon

776
00:33:58,840 --> 00:34:00,720
Speaker 1: of outfielders. It gives you power, give just be a

777
00:34:00,760 --> 00:34:03,400
Speaker 1: good lineup around him. I like it. James Wood. I'm

778
00:34:03,440 --> 00:34:06,560
Speaker 1: ready for this. My body is ready for the James

779
00:34:06,600 --> 00:34:09,600
Speaker 1: Wood experience in twenty twenty five. We got a little

780
00:34:09,600 --> 00:34:14,240
Speaker 1: taste of it last year, and James Wood has superstar

781
00:34:14,239 --> 00:34:17,000
Speaker 1: written all over. I think, you know, the Nationals are

782
00:34:17,080 --> 00:34:20,160
Speaker 1: such a good organization over the years of identifying young

783
00:34:20,200 --> 00:34:23,640
Speaker 1: talent keeping them. Keeping them has been the problem for

784
00:34:23,680 --> 00:34:26,680
Speaker 1: the Washington Nationals over the years. But from a scouting standpoint,

785
00:34:26,760 --> 00:34:28,719
Speaker 1: like this team knows, you know, whether it's a via

786
00:34:28,760 --> 00:34:32,200
Speaker 1: trade or knows via draft, what they're trying to get,

787
00:34:32,280 --> 00:34:34,920
Speaker 1: and they are just always this pipeline of really talented

788
00:34:35,000 --> 00:34:37,080
Speaker 1: young players. And I didn't think the big stage was

789
00:34:37,120 --> 00:34:40,319
Speaker 1: too big for James Wood last year in seventy nine games,

790
00:34:40,360 --> 00:34:43,000
Speaker 1: so roughly half a season, nine homers, fourteen steels, two

791
00:34:43,040 --> 00:34:46,000
Speaker 1: sixty four batting average. This guy's the limit for this dude.

792
00:34:46,040 --> 00:34:48,759
Speaker 1: I just think he's going to be absolutely fantastic this year.

793
00:34:49,200 --> 00:34:52,640
Speaker 1: And if you look at the minor league slash three

794
00:34:52,800 --> 00:34:55,600
Speaker 1: h two, four oh two, five point thirty nine, that's elite,

795
00:34:55,680 --> 00:35:00,239
Speaker 1: my friends, that is elite. And lastly, Brent Rooker, I

796
00:35:00,239 --> 00:35:03,640
Speaker 1: think I don't think forty five fifty home runs out

797
00:35:03,640 --> 00:35:06,680
Speaker 1: of the question for him. Oakland is the worst. It's

798
00:35:06,719 --> 00:35:08,880
Speaker 1: the worst place. It's the worst ballpark. It always was.

799
00:35:09,400 --> 00:35:11,400
Speaker 2: And now, oh Oakland, I thought you were saying, are

800
00:35:11,400 --> 00:35:13,160
Speaker 2: you calling them the Oakland A's. I was like, oh, Joe,

801
00:35:13,239 --> 00:35:14,640
Speaker 2: not is.

802
00:35:14,560 --> 00:35:17,600
Speaker 1: The is and was the worst. And now you're getting

803
00:35:17,600 --> 00:35:21,799
Speaker 1: into that little spring training ballpark and I'm fascinated to

804
00:35:21,840 --> 00:35:23,560
Speaker 1: see it's a little bit of you know, the minor

805
00:35:23,640 --> 00:35:27,680
Speaker 1: league ballpark factor here of Sacramento. I'm fascinated to see

806
00:35:27,680 --> 00:35:30,000
Speaker 1: what it plays like. Now, maybe I'm wrong, maybe it

807
00:35:30,040 --> 00:35:33,480
Speaker 1: won't be as good for him, But Brent Rooker was

808
00:35:33,640 --> 00:35:35,359
Speaker 1: kind of a guy who came out of know where.

809
00:35:35,360 --> 00:35:38,200
Speaker 1: A couple of years ago, people weren't buying back in

810
00:35:38,840 --> 00:35:40,680
Speaker 1: Now after a couple of seasons, I don't know how

811
00:35:40,680 --> 00:35:42,040
Speaker 1: you don't look at this guy's one of the elite

812
00:35:42,080 --> 00:35:44,239
Speaker 1: power hitters. And it's funny because like Kyle Schwarber is

813
00:35:44,280 --> 00:35:47,200
Speaker 1: going in that similar range to him, and I would

814
00:35:47,280 --> 00:35:49,319
Speaker 1: much It's not even close for me. I'll take Brent

815
00:35:49,400 --> 00:35:51,759
Speaker 1: Rooker every single time over Schwarbur. Schwarber has way too

816
00:35:51,760 --> 00:35:54,520
Speaker 1: many deficits. So those are my must haves. Jackson Merrill,

817
00:35:54,600 --> 00:35:57,440
Speaker 1: James Wood and Brent Rooker. Well, sure your must haves

818
00:35:57,440 --> 00:35:59,000
Speaker 1: for twenty twenty five in the outfield.

819
00:35:59,120 --> 00:36:01,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, and just to throw. I love Brent Rooker. I mean,

820
00:36:01,680 --> 00:36:03,080
Speaker 2: you got a couple guys on this list.

821
00:36:03,960 --> 00:36:04,160
Speaker 1: You know.

822
00:36:04,520 --> 00:36:06,560
Speaker 2: I'm not anti Jackson Merrill for sure. I just didn't

823
00:36:06,600 --> 00:36:06,960
Speaker 2: love the call.

824
00:36:07,280 --> 00:36:09,759
Speaker 1: This was your dude, this was your pig. Still Rookie

825
00:36:09,760 --> 00:36:10,160
Speaker 1: of the Year.

826
00:36:10,360 --> 00:36:12,319
Speaker 2: I would still take him. I just wanted a little

827
00:36:12,320 --> 00:36:14,719
Speaker 2: bit of a discount. I love James Wood Rooker just

828
00:36:14,760 --> 00:36:17,840
Speaker 2: to throw in that ballpark again, it is five feet

829
00:36:17,960 --> 00:36:20,239
Speaker 2: shorter in left field, so that is going to go

830
00:36:20,280 --> 00:36:22,960
Speaker 2: for right handed hitters. So that works for Rooker for

831
00:36:23,000 --> 00:36:25,879
Speaker 2: the most part. Most of the other the parameters are

832
00:36:26,040 --> 00:36:30,040
Speaker 2: close to Oakland Coliseum. But yeah, but the climate's but

833
00:36:30,080 --> 00:36:32,120
Speaker 2: then Sacramento, Sacramento is going to be hotter, It's going

834
00:36:32,160 --> 00:36:34,480
Speaker 2: to be grabbing closer to like Arizona. Yeah, you're not

835
00:36:34,600 --> 00:36:35,600
Speaker 2: coastal when you're by.

836
00:36:35,480 --> 00:36:37,399
Speaker 1: The bay and you get those weird gusts and things

837
00:36:37,400 --> 00:36:40,960
Speaker 1: like this. You know, sometimes it's not positive. It's Candlestick Park,

838
00:36:41,040 --> 00:36:44,040
Speaker 1: my ro old Candlestick Park used to kill home run sometimes.

839
00:36:44,080 --> 00:36:46,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, I guess, like I wouldn't call, I wouldn't think

840
00:36:46,760 --> 00:36:48,480
Speaker 2: of it, like, oh my god, this is this crazy

841
00:36:48,600 --> 00:36:50,760
Speaker 2: minor league park. But there are benefits, and they're benefits

842
00:36:50,800 --> 00:36:52,720
Speaker 2: that are going to help him. And the batting average

843
00:36:52,719 --> 00:36:54,560
Speaker 2: is good, the homers are good, Like he's a total

844
00:36:54,560 --> 00:36:56,439
Speaker 2: note brainer. The guys that I'm gonna throw on my list,

845
00:36:56,480 --> 00:36:59,000
Speaker 2: you took James Wood. So I already mentioned before White.

846
00:36:59,040 --> 00:37:00,759
Speaker 2: Langford is the other one that I want to have.

847
00:37:01,120 --> 00:37:04,640
Speaker 2: Langford two fifty three average, sixteen homers, nineteen stolen bases,

848
00:37:04,680 --> 00:37:06,920
Speaker 2: after really struggling, you know, through the year, Like he

849
00:37:06,960 --> 00:37:09,360
Speaker 2: really had some early struggles and really popped at the

850
00:37:09,440 --> 00:37:11,400
Speaker 2: end of the year. He finished the second half of

851
00:37:11,400 --> 00:37:14,960
Speaker 2: the season with eleven homers and eleven stolen bases. And

852
00:37:15,160 --> 00:37:18,080
Speaker 2: so think about that again, sixteen homers, nineteen stolen bases.

853
00:37:18,120 --> 00:37:20,520
Speaker 2: He really came in on the second half of the year.

854
00:37:20,560 --> 00:37:23,720
Speaker 2: There's really good contact skills, almost a ten percent barrel,

855
00:37:23,760 --> 00:37:26,960
Speaker 2: forty three percent hard hit rate, doesn't strike up. Expected

856
00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:29,279
Speaker 2: batting average is actually a little bit higher than he hit.

857
00:37:29,520 --> 00:37:31,640
Speaker 2: And now you're probably going to hit three in front

858
00:37:31,680 --> 00:37:35,000
Speaker 2: of Corey Seeger Marcus Simeon. You got again. You know

859
00:37:35,080 --> 00:37:38,680
Speaker 2: a Dole's Jake Berger, Josh Young behind you. There's run opportunities.

860
00:37:38,680 --> 00:37:40,719
Speaker 2: He's five tool. I just got to have him. If

861
00:37:40,760 --> 00:37:43,000
Speaker 2: it's not James Wood. I think White Langford actually might

862
00:37:43,040 --> 00:37:44,719
Speaker 2: be a little bit safer on the batting average front

863
00:37:44,760 --> 00:37:46,400
Speaker 2: as well, and that's something I'm trying to get, so

864
00:37:46,760 --> 00:37:49,759
Speaker 2: really love White Langford. The other two Jason Dominguez and

865
00:37:49,840 --> 00:37:52,239
Speaker 2: you had mentioned him, Jerks and Profar and this is

866
00:37:52,280 --> 00:37:54,239
Speaker 2: kind of balancing the different type of players I might

867
00:37:54,280 --> 00:37:57,440
Speaker 2: want to have. If I drafted an outfielder early on.

868
00:37:57,560 --> 00:38:00,839
Speaker 2: Let's just say I got Corbyn Carrol Locker, and then

869
00:38:00,960 --> 00:38:03,920
Speaker 2: I take like White Langford as my outfielder too. I

870
00:38:04,040 --> 00:38:07,400
Speaker 2: don't mind as an outfielder three to four Jason Dimingez

871
00:38:07,400 --> 00:38:09,239
Speaker 2: because he's going in really low. I think he's a

872
00:38:09,320 --> 00:38:12,600
Speaker 2: Rookie of the Year candidate. You're already looking at projections

873
00:38:12,600 --> 00:38:14,680
Speaker 2: that are putting him near a twenty twenty guy, but

874
00:38:14,760 --> 00:38:16,840
Speaker 2: in a low amount of games, he's got left field

875
00:38:16,880 --> 00:38:20,360
Speaker 2: locked up. It's a great hitter environment. He's super aggressive

876
00:38:20,360 --> 00:38:22,439
Speaker 2: on the base paths, and I think you're gonna see

877
00:38:22,480 --> 00:38:24,760
Speaker 2: him bounce back as far as the hit tool goes.

878
00:38:24,960 --> 00:38:27,040
Speaker 2: He's just being kind of depressed because there's so much

879
00:38:27,080 --> 00:38:31,000
Speaker 2: prospect fatigue. I want him, I will say, I'm presenting

880
00:38:31,080 --> 00:38:33,960
Speaker 2: some conditional things I talked about Mike Trout. He's a

881
00:38:34,000 --> 00:38:35,600
Speaker 2: little conditional. You don't want to take him with a

882
00:38:35,640 --> 00:38:37,960
Speaker 2: bunch of injury guys. Listen, you don't probably want to

883
00:38:37,960 --> 00:38:40,440
Speaker 2: take White Langford, James Wood and Jason Dimingez. You want

884
00:38:40,480 --> 00:38:42,080
Speaker 2: to take all these rookies.

885
00:38:42,000 --> 00:38:44,839
Speaker 1: No, like it's a dynasty keeper situation. Yeah.

886
00:38:44,880 --> 00:38:48,359
Speaker 2: I think Langford provides a floor that makes me feel

887
00:38:48,360 --> 00:38:50,279
Speaker 2: comfortable being able to take a rookie. I wouldn't want

888
00:38:50,280 --> 00:38:52,040
Speaker 2: to take Dimingaz and Dylan Cruiz and Match.

889
00:38:52,320 --> 00:38:54,319
Speaker 1: It's a floor more than White Langford. I know that

890
00:38:54,400 --> 00:38:56,359
Speaker 1: might sound crazy to you because you have a full

891
00:38:56,400 --> 00:38:59,440
Speaker 1: season from White Langford. I just think James Wood is

892
00:38:59,480 --> 00:39:02,359
Speaker 1: the truth many I watched that kid play, you know,

893
00:39:02,400 --> 00:39:05,040
Speaker 1: and I just I see nothing but like superstar.

894
00:39:05,600 --> 00:39:07,720
Speaker 2: I know it's funny. I was actually at his pro debut,

895
00:39:07,800 --> 00:39:10,760
Speaker 2: him and Jackson Merril, their best friends. They came out together.

896
00:39:10,840 --> 00:39:12,719
Speaker 2: They walked out I've got a ball actually with both

897
00:39:12,719 --> 00:39:15,520
Speaker 2: of them. They signed it together of James Wood and

898
00:39:15,600 --> 00:39:17,759
Speaker 2: Jackson Merrill because he was a padre. And I've been

899
00:39:17,800 --> 00:39:20,399
Speaker 2: watching James forever and I was pretty down on James Wood.

900
00:39:20,440 --> 00:39:22,480
Speaker 2: But the thing, he's made so many great changes. He

901
00:39:22,560 --> 00:39:25,680
Speaker 2: hits righty's and lefties. Now hits the ball super hard,

902
00:39:25,960 --> 00:39:28,480
Speaker 2: kind of reorganized his swing. Felt like he kind of

903
00:39:28,480 --> 00:39:30,879
Speaker 2: played down sometimes he struggled when he played in rookie ball.

904
00:39:31,000 --> 00:39:32,719
Speaker 2: But like those two are best friends. He also got

905
00:39:32,760 --> 00:39:35,400
Speaker 2: these guys like talking to each other, really great contact hitters.

906
00:39:35,520 --> 00:39:37,120
Speaker 2: I don't know if I disagree with you. I think

907
00:39:37,160 --> 00:39:39,239
Speaker 2: it's probably. I think the counting tools are just way

908
00:39:39,239 --> 00:39:41,920
Speaker 2: potentially higher for James Wood. But again, like I don't

909
00:39:41,960 --> 00:39:44,160
Speaker 2: know what the mixture is, So be careful when I

910
00:39:44,160 --> 00:39:46,760
Speaker 2: say these are must haves, and when I say Jason Demingez,

911
00:39:46,760 --> 00:39:48,560
Speaker 2: because like I said, I wouldn't want you know, I

912
00:39:48,640 --> 00:39:50,759
Speaker 2: drafted to Christian Campbell and Dylan Cruz and all those,

913
00:39:50,800 --> 00:39:52,600
Speaker 2: but he's one of those guys I think you should

914
00:39:52,600 --> 00:39:54,879
Speaker 2: play for upside and then not to get into any

915
00:39:54,920 --> 00:39:56,480
Speaker 2: more of it. But you know, I love the jerks

916
00:39:56,480 --> 00:40:00,720
Speaker 2: and PROFI. I love the lineup, the lineup, protection, run potential,

917
00:40:00,800 --> 00:40:03,480
Speaker 2: the ballpark. He's become a twenty four to ten guy.

918
00:40:03,600 --> 00:40:05,920
Speaker 2: He's kind of depressed in value because people don't care

919
00:40:05,960 --> 00:40:10,200
Speaker 2: about him. I just think he is a quintessential outfielder

920
00:40:10,400 --> 00:40:12,480
Speaker 2: five if you can do it now. Some people can't

921
00:40:12,520 --> 00:40:14,319
Speaker 2: have that investment as high. But I think he's going

922
00:40:14,320 --> 00:40:17,000
Speaker 2: around like one to sixty outfielder four or five. If

923
00:40:17,000 --> 00:40:18,440
Speaker 2: you can get him as a five, I think he

924
00:40:18,560 --> 00:40:21,360
Speaker 2: is just like the prototypical five. Even if he's an

925
00:40:21,360 --> 00:40:23,399
Speaker 2: outfielder four and like a fifteen team, I think you're

926
00:40:23,400 --> 00:40:25,360
Speaker 2: in a really good spot for your twenty ten with

927
00:40:25,440 --> 00:40:28,960
Speaker 2: a really good batting average. Those are my must have Profar.

928
00:40:28,680 --> 00:40:32,200
Speaker 1: Versus Michael Harris. Category for category, I want to take

929
00:40:32,200 --> 00:40:35,440
Speaker 1: that bet. I'll take Profar. All I gotta do is

930
00:40:35,480 --> 00:40:36,880
Speaker 1: win three of the five categories.

931
00:40:37,360 --> 00:40:40,719
Speaker 2: I think that's tough because if Michael Harris goes back

932
00:40:40,760 --> 00:40:43,640
Speaker 2: to the bottom of the order, Profar might take RBIs,

933
00:40:43,840 --> 00:40:47,600
Speaker 2: he could take average, and he could take homers. But

934
00:40:47,680 --> 00:40:50,400
Speaker 2: that that is pretty close that's pretty close value.

935
00:40:50,600 --> 00:40:54,879
Speaker 1: A yeah, So what do you guys think about Mike

936
00:40:54,920 --> 00:40:56,719
Speaker 1: Troudy you're drafting him this year. What do you think of?

937
00:40:56,719 --> 00:40:59,719
Speaker 1: Who are your must have? Who are your I think

938
00:40:59,719 --> 00:41:01,840
Speaker 1: they are all. I think one hundred is very tempting.

939
00:41:02,040 --> 00:41:04,080
Speaker 1: Who are your must haves? Who's your sleepers? Who's your bust?
