But before we get to 11 00:00:35,479 --> 00:00:40,680 Speaker 1: opening day, training camps are ending. We have people packing 12 00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:44,000 Speaker 1: up their things.

And we're going 14 00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:49,040 Speaker 1: to talk about some of the spring training winners and 15 00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:52,720 Speaker 1: losers here and Welsh, it is a peculiar part of 16 00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:55,040 Speaker 1: time here because this is when you see guys who 17 00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:57,880 Speaker 1: are not making the team getting cut, very sad, but 18 00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:00,760 Speaker 1: you also see dreams coming true. You may moments like 19 00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:04,039 Speaker 1: Jordan Walker making the team, Anthony Volby making the team, 20 00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:08,000 Speaker 1: and oh it's a really really heartfelt, feel good baseball moments. 21 00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:09,800 Speaker 2: There was actually one you want to know what, They're 22 00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:11,959 Speaker 2: all really cool. I love those videos, by the way, 23 00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:14,600 Speaker 2: I must be just a sucker for those, like those 24 00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:17,960 Speaker 2: gotcha cam videos of these guys making the team. Today 25 00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:20,440 Speaker 2: as we're recording this on Monday, the latest one to 26 00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:23,120 Speaker 2: drop was Bryce Terrang with the Milwaukee Brows made it 27 00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:25,479 Speaker 2: and there was something really cool about that one because 28 00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:27,959 Speaker 2: they really were trying to get him. They were just like, well, 29 00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:31,440 Speaker 2: we're going to option you to Colorado and then he like, 30 00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:33,720 Speaker 2: he didn't process it, and it's a really cool thing. 31 00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:36,440 Speaker 2: It's a weird time for me too, Joe, because out 32 00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:38,720 Speaker 2: here in Arizona, you know, I've been going to camps 33 00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:42,160 Speaker 2: for six weeks. I've been out almost every single day, 34 00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:44,959 Speaker 2: going out watching players, seeing progression and stuff like that, 35 00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:46,480 Speaker 2: and it's kind of coming to an end, though, I 36 00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:48,960 Speaker 2: will tell you I is able to go and check 37 00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:51,880 Speaker 2: out the padres and get to see Juan Soto, who 38 00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:53,560 Speaker 2: looks like he's going to be good for the season. 39 00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:55,520 Speaker 2: And that's part of it as well. You're seeing dreams 40 00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:59,120 Speaker 2: get crushed, dreams appear and materialize, and then you're also 41 00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:01,200 Speaker 2: seeing players. We have a little bit of panic on 42 00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:02,880 Speaker 2: for the last couple of days of what could be 43 00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:05,520 Speaker 2: drafts if you have one right before the season starts, 44 00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:07,680 Speaker 2: and you could maybe feel a little bit better about one. 45 00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:10,960 Speaker 2: Soto actually playing and starting after he played a big 46 00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:14,440 Speaker 2: old rehab assignment game today and Joe Musgrove pitched as well, 47 00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:15,880 Speaker 2: and he looked very pretty good. 48 00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:18,600 Speaker 1: I thought that Joe Musgrove overreaction was so crazy. I 49 00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:20,280 Speaker 1: was like, guys, it's a toe. He'll be okay in 50 00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:22,320 Speaker 1: a couple of weeks. Like stop dropping him in drafts. 51 00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:23,959 Speaker 1: I saw him going a fifth round, six round of 52 00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:25,600 Speaker 1: another draft a deep league. Was like, what do you do? 53 00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:27,919 Speaker 3: He's going later than that? He you know what? 54 00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:31,000 Speaker 2: And today he pitched about five and he was talking 55 00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:32,840 Speaker 2: in the there's like the dugout right there, and I 56 00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:34,239 Speaker 2: got to hear in the dugout he was talking about 57 00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:36,280 Speaker 2: a new pitch grip on his change up that he 58 00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:39,359 Speaker 2: was using, and he was in a mood, like a 59 00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:40,200 Speaker 2: great mood. 60 00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:41,520 Speaker 3: He was able to go deep. 61 00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:44,680 Speaker 2: And they're talking about one potential misstart. I don't know, man, 62 00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:47,680 Speaker 2: after the start he just had, I wouldn't even discount 63 00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:50,760 Speaker 2: the possibility that he doesn't even miss that one. But yeah, 64 00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:53,040 Speaker 2: huge discount, and that's kind of the thing that happens. 65 00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:55,480 Speaker 2: There are players that you know, the worries and the 66 00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:57,720 Speaker 2: fears are going out and we get to take advantage of. 67 00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:01,320 Speaker 2: Joe Musgrove was like a huge advantage taken of in 68 00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:03,040 Speaker 2: some of the drafts I had most recently. 69 00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:05,280 Speaker 1: And Terrang probably a guy too you want to pick 70 00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:06,919 Speaker 1: up in those leads where he needs steals because he 71 00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:09,040 Speaker 1: might be somebody who can contribute there. And of course 72 00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:10,519 Speaker 1: you know, we didn't talk about it yet, but Reese 73 00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:13,680 Speaker 1: Hoskins injury obviously a huge blow to the Phillies. We 74 00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:15,200 Speaker 1: did get into it a lot on the show I 75 00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:17,120 Speaker 1: just did recorded with Matt Striker though, So if you 76 00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:20,480 Speaker 1: want to see that, it's on our Betting Pros YouTube channels. 77 00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:23,040 Speaker 1: Also on our MLB channel as well if you haven't subscribed, 78 00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:27,040 Speaker 1: already subscribed to both.

I 85 00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:41,520 Speaker 2: wanted to see it some future stuff because I have to. 86 00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:43,320 Speaker 3: I do have. I don't do as much. 87 00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:45,880 Speaker 2: You are like the futures bet guy. Him Joe is 88 00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:47,960 Speaker 2: like the master of futures bets. I'm a big d 89 00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:51,560 Speaker 2: season guy. But I have two actually technically have three 90 00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:54,560 Speaker 2: futures bets on Rookie of the Years and I have 91 00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:57,400 Speaker 2: one n L on Corman Carroll, and I've got Yoshida 92 00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:00,720 Speaker 2: and Volpe which I took before Bay got on the 93 00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:02,360 Speaker 2: roster for Ale Rookie of the Year. 94 00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:03,440 Speaker 3: So I'm feeling good about that. 95 00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:06,840 Speaker 2: But I cannot believe that we're getting set for all 96 00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:08,800 Speaker 2: of this, and I cannot believe that the season is 97 00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:11,160 Speaker 2: about to start. And I'm also excited to get into 98 00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:13,240 Speaker 2: all of this my friends, and I can't believe. That's 99 00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:15,280 Speaker 2: what I was gonna say, is that leading off is 100 00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:15,880 Speaker 2: starting in a. 101 00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:18,200 Speaker 3: Couple of days. We're going back to the live shows 102 00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:20,360 Speaker 3: that we live show that we do have. Everybody checks 103 00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:21,920 Speaker 3: it out.

Sure you know we 108 00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:31,840 Speaker 1: are the We are the People show when it comes 109 00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:34,800 Speaker 1: to baseball, and we made baseball fun. People forgot there's 110 00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:36,720 Speaker 1: must be fun. The rules changes are going to bring 111 00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:38,200 Speaker 1: it back. It's gonna be fun again. So we're going 112 00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:39,960 Speaker 1: to have a blast. But let's talk about some people 113 00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:43,440 Speaker 1: really having a blast. Let's talk about the Spring Training winners. Welsh, 114 00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:45,000 Speaker 1: who is number one on your list? 115 00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:47,640 Speaker 2: Well, this is funny because you got to the list 116 00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:49,800 Speaker 2: before me, and you definitely. 117 00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:52,080 Speaker 1: Make the sheets, so in all fairness, yeah, you're going 118 00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:52,479 Speaker 1: to get to. 119 00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:53,039 Speaker 3: Them before me. 120 00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:56,240 Speaker 2: You have one on there that actually two that jump 121 00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:59,159 Speaker 2: out immediately, but I was surprised at one that you 122 00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:01,920 Speaker 2: did not throw in. Who I think is the biggest 123 00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:05,640 Speaker 2: winner of spring Training. In fact, he owns spring Training. 124 00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:09,400 Speaker 2: It's Jared Killmick with the Seattle Parners. I can't believe 125 00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:13,360 Speaker 2: that he didn't make your list. Kelnick was just borderline 126 00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:16,360 Speaker 2: into obscurity, kind of like where Joey Dell is. Unfortunately, 127 00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:19,280 Speaker 2: Joey Deell primarily what happens in late March, he gets 128 00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:21,240 Speaker 2: optioned to Triple A and I kind of felt like 129 00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:23,400 Speaker 2: that was what was going on with Kelnick seemed lost. 130 00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:26,160 Speaker 2: We found out in this offseason he was finally letting 131 00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:28,320 Speaker 2: people into his brain trust. He was going to finally 132 00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:30,839 Speaker 2: let people speak to him and go to drive line. 133 00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:32,520 Speaker 2: And that's such a weird thing to think that this 134 00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:36,159 Speaker 2: wasn't happening before, especially with all the struggles. Well, guess what, 135 00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:39,640 Speaker 2: it seems to be materializing because he had a phenomenal 136 00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:43,400 Speaker 2: spring hit three sixty in spring an almost four hundred 137 00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:46,719 Speaker 2: OVP and over eleven hundred ops. He had four homers, 138 00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:50,000 Speaker 2: three stolen bases, which I think is huge. When we're 139 00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:52,080 Speaker 2: sitting here and talking about who are the guys that 140 00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:54,560 Speaker 2: are going to benefit A guy like Jared Keelnick is 141 00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:56,479 Speaker 2: a man on a mission and there's a little bit 142 00:05:56,520 --> 00:05:58,240 Speaker 2: of an advantage, and he's not going to hit high 143 00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:01,000 Speaker 2: in the lineup. I think Jared kel if he's hitting 144 00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:03,400 Speaker 2: and he's out there, he's going to steal twenty plus bases. 145 00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:06,440 Speaker 2: This year he had eighteen hits in fifty eight bats 146 00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:09,160 Speaker 2: and hitting over three hundred while minimizing some of the 147 00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:12,600 Speaker 2: strikeouts is one of the biggest wins. And guess what, 148 00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:15,080 Speaker 2: as much as everybody is sitting here being like. 149 00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:17,720 Speaker 3: It's spring training. It's spring training. It's buying in. 150 00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:20,880 Speaker 2: People are buying in, and his ADP is rising because 151 00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:23,680 Speaker 2: this might actually happen. So you want to talk about 152 00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:26,760 Speaker 2: spring beneficiaries and spring risers. You didn't put him on here. 153 00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:29,880 Speaker 2: I think he is the number one player. It's Jared Keelnick. 154 00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:32,720 Speaker 1: Listen, man. I got my first share of Kalnick in 155 00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:35,560 Speaker 1: my home league this year. It's a person keeper fifteen 156 00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:37,680 Speaker 1: team league, and I got him for eight bucks, and 157 00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:39,559 Speaker 1: I just I want to see, Like, for eight bucks, 158 00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:43,120 Speaker 1: I'm like, you know what, that return could be massive. 159 00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:45,520 Speaker 1: Maybe he becomes that guy that he was always supposed 160 00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:46,800 Speaker 1: to be, it's great. And if it doesn't, the eight 161 00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:47,760 Speaker 1: box doesn't going to kill me. 162 00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:49,560 Speaker 2: And there's not really anybody holding him back next so 163 00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:50,599 Speaker 2: they got it. 164 00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:53,440 Speaker 1: I mean, maybe we can argue Kelnick's been the guy 165 00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:55,240 Speaker 1: holding Kelnick back at the end of the day. Maybe 166 00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:57,919 Speaker 1: maybe no question listening and opening up the brain trust 167 00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:00,479 Speaker 1: or whatever the hell was like maybe this the thing, 168 00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:04,720 Speaker 1: but this is it, Like this is kind of you know, 169 00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:06,360 Speaker 1: you know what, or get off the pot for him. 170 00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:08,280 Speaker 1: But it was a very encouraging spring. Then the guy 171 00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:10,040 Speaker 1: looked great. I watched him the f bats too that 172 00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:12,160 Speaker 1: he took. He looked comfortable. Now it's just a matter 173 00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:13,680 Speaker 1: of just bringing that over and look when they send 174 00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:15,040 Speaker 1: it back down last year in Triple A. You pointed 175 00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:17,840 Speaker 1: it out on the show the other day, he looked great, 176 00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:21,000 Speaker 1: like there was no reason not to be excited about 177 00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:24,800 Speaker 1: the potential of Kealennick finally realizing his potential. The number 178 00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:27,800 Speaker 1: one guy for me is Anthony Volpi, which it's funny. 179 00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:30,600 Speaker 1: Sunday morning, I was all with Matter Trecker on Sports 180 00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:32,280 Speaker 1: Square and we were talking about the Rookie of the 181 00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:34,320 Speaker 1: Year odds, and I said, look, it's plus eight hundred 182 00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:36,280 Speaker 1: for him right now, Like, go get this because if 183 00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:39,360 Speaker 1: he gets the call and he gets called up there, 184 00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:42,600 Speaker 1: it's probably going to move very rapidly where that number 185 00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:44,000 Speaker 1: is not going to be there anymore. So if you 186 00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:46,119 Speaker 1: like him, you go ahead. You take him at that number, 187 00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:48,560 Speaker 1: and you hope for the best that he does get 188 00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:50,800 Speaker 1: a lot of play. He's gonna hit ninth. By the way, 189 00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:54,280 Speaker 1: that eight hundred moved to plus six fifty overnight, So yeah. 190 00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:55,480 Speaker 3: DK, it was seven. 191 00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:57,680 Speaker 2: I got him at seven fifty like a week or 192 00:07:57,760 --> 00:07:59,760 Speaker 2: so ago, and it's up to five hundred. 193 00:07:59,840 --> 00:08:02,600 Speaker 3: Right now, So it's even over there. Where was the 194 00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:04,240 Speaker 3: Where were those good adds you just got? 195 00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:06,680 Speaker 1: Uh, those are over on FanDuel right now. But again, 196 00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:08,240 Speaker 1: we want to see the consensus. You go to betting 197 00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:10,640 Speaker 1: pros dot com for the consensus. But I mean, if 198 00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:13,800 Speaker 1: you are looking at you know right now where things 199 00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:16,840 Speaker 1: stand here for Anthony Volpie after spring. In spring he 200 00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:19,760 Speaker 1: had three home runs, he had five stolen bases, he 201 00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:21,600 Speaker 1: had three to zho two with a four thirteen OVP 202 00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:24,480 Speaker 1: of six to twenty three slugging and a ten thirty 203 00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:29,880 Speaker 1: six ops. Spring training doesn't mean a lot. But what 204 00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:33,000 Speaker 1: I saw out of OPI and DOUBLEA what I see 205 00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:35,880 Speaker 1: the Yankees moving towards, which is a younger product, which is, 206 00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:37,840 Speaker 1: you know, the more you have these young kids on 207 00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:41,160 Speaker 1: these you know, smaller contracts, the more you can afford 208 00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:43,560 Speaker 1: to go out there and be the Yankees again and 209 00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:46,600 Speaker 1: start signing big free agents again. You know, they spend 210 00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:48,240 Speaker 1: a lot of money on Aaron Judge. They got a 211 00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:49,760 Speaker 1: lot of money in Garrett Cole and they got to 212 00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:52,600 Speaker 1: offset that. And I don't know how long Donaldson is 213 00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:54,680 Speaker 1: for this team. I really don't like. At the end 214 00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:56,840 Speaker 1: of the day, I could see him getting moved on 215 00:08:56,920 --> 00:09:00,599 Speaker 1: from But the fact that they recognize at Volpe's that 216 00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:02,079 Speaker 1: energy spark they need. I think it's going to be 217 00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:03,560 Speaker 1: a good thing for that team too. I think they 218 00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:05,559 Speaker 1: kind of need a little of that. I don't expect 219 00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:07,559 Speaker 1: him to stick in the nine hole very long. If 220 00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:10,080 Speaker 1: he hits, he is going to move up that order 221 00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:12,559 Speaker 1: very quickly. So to me, Volpi's put himself in a 222 00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:15,120 Speaker 1: great position there. So he's my number one guy before 223 00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:16,880 Speaker 1: we get to the next guy here on the list, 224 00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:19,400 Speaker 1: because we've got a good amount of these guys here 225 00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:21,480 Speaker 1: that we want to talk about today.

This is 264 00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:09,920 Speaker 2: a pretty easy one. You know, you got Anthony Volpi, 265 00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:12,120 Speaker 2: which I one hundred percent would have put on here, 266 00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:13,920 Speaker 2: but you didn't put Jordan Walker on. 267 00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:15,600 Speaker 3: So why not you talk about Spring? 268 00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:16,360 Speaker 1: I'm a nice guy. 269 00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:18,120 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, no. I felt actually felt. 270 00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:19,840 Speaker 2: Like this was one of those that you purposely left 271 00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:21,360 Speaker 2: for me, knowing that I was going to fill it out. 272 00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:21,600 Speaker 1: He did. 273 00:11:21,679 --> 00:11:24,000 Speaker 2: But if you want to talk about the new era, uh, 274 00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:27,040 Speaker 2: it is Air Jordan if you want. Did you know, 275 00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:31,000 Speaker 2: by the way I say that lovingly, he actually does 276 00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:33,440 Speaker 2: a few inscriptions. He has actually have the ball right 277 00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:37,280 Speaker 2: up here, h Ei R Jordan. He inscribed balls with 278 00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:39,880 Speaker 2: my friend Sid Dennis Sidler. From Sid's grass you can 279 00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:43,040 Speaker 2: get the Air Jordan inscription. Is very cool because he 280 00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:47,120 Speaker 2: is next up. Jordan Walker, though he tailed off at 281 00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:50,880 Speaker 2: the end, is a physical, physical presence on the field. 282 00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:53,000 Speaker 2: He ended up hitting three homers, which he came out 283 00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:56,319 Speaker 2: of spring just banging two stolen bases. He hit two 284 00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:59,080 Speaker 2: seventy seven. Needs to walk a little bit more. His 285 00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:01,160 Speaker 2: strikeouts got a little bit crazy on the back end. 286 00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:04,199 Speaker 2: I will say that I do think there's a possibility 287 00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:07,199 Speaker 2: there's some volatility where I actually think Volpi is a 288 00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:09,920 Speaker 2: little bit safer and like where I don't worry about 289 00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:12,480 Speaker 2: Corbyn Carrol and where he is because of his floor. 290 00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:16,120 Speaker 2: Walker's a little bit more volatile with some of the 291 00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:18,600 Speaker 2: swing and miss, but he also is maybe the most 292 00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:21,760 Speaker 2: explosive of any player. And it's hard to deny that, 293 00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:25,080 Speaker 2: like what this spring did got him this gig because 294 00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:26,880 Speaker 2: they had all the reasons in the world to not 295 00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:30,880 Speaker 2: bring him up. I think forty Man construction, Dylan Carlson, 296 00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:34,160 Speaker 2: Alec Burlson, and just not starting the clock. They had 297 00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:36,720 Speaker 2: all the reasons to not do it. That hot start 298 00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:39,320 Speaker 2: did it. And if you watch the video when he 299 00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:42,520 Speaker 2: was added on, it was also like how he overcame 300 00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:44,439 Speaker 2: the adversity of his struggles with a little bit of 301 00:12:44,480 --> 00:12:47,439 Speaker 2: a shoulder injury and struggling at the back half of spring, 302 00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:51,079 Speaker 2: and how he maintained himself. He's the guy he benefited. 303 00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:52,199 Speaker 3: Is no doubt he. 304 00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:54,920 Speaker 2: Is one of the top spring risers that we are 305 00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:56,320 Speaker 2: going to be taking a looking at. And he's one 306 00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:59,480 Speaker 2: of the most exciting prospects for the twenty twenty three season. 307 00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:03,320 Speaker 2: And he's also So why this little tipbit here, Corbyn 308 00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:06,120 Speaker 2: Carroll's Rookie of the Year number has dropped a little 309 00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:08,800 Speaker 2: bit on some books. I might go re bet that 310 00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:10,040 Speaker 2: because Jordan I've. 311 00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:11,040 Speaker 3: Been making it move him down. 312 00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:14,360 Speaker 1: I got Corbyn Carroll plus seven hundred when it first opened. 313 00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:17,040 Speaker 1: I ran, I ran to the book to get that 314 00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:17,880 Speaker 1: better number. 315 00:13:17,640 --> 00:13:18,120 Speaker 3: Than I got. 316 00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:19,800 Speaker 2: But I bet it months and months ago. But I'm 317 00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:22,720 Speaker 2: gonna rebt it because Walker making the roster has literally 318 00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:25,040 Speaker 2: pushed him down a little bit. More so it's better 319 00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:26,720 Speaker 2: odds than I got like three weeks ago. 320 00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:30,160 Speaker 1: Look last year again, Verlander twenty five to one. We 321 00:13:30,280 --> 00:13:32,640 Speaker 1: got so many good things right. I'm begging to go 322 00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:35,239 Speaker 1: watch that show everybody and go make even small investments 323 00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:38,120 Speaker 1: like you make some some small investments. Ten bucks come 324 00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:39,880 Speaker 1: on a couple hundred dollars in some of these if 325 00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:42,559 Speaker 1: you do it right. So just you know, stick with us, 326 00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:44,079 Speaker 1: Go check that out and There'll be a lot more 327 00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:45,840 Speaker 1: of that along with our fantasy coverage here at MLB. 328 00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:48,320 Speaker 1: We do it all. Let's continue on here with some 329 00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:51,160 Speaker 1: of the winners from spring training. Another one for me 330 00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:52,920 Speaker 1: is a guy who actually did not make the team, 331 00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:54,760 Speaker 1: but I think opened up a lot of eyes, and 332 00:13:54,760 --> 00:13:56,880 Speaker 1: that's Brett Baty, third basement for the New York Mets. 333 00:13:56,880 --> 00:13:58,960 Speaker 1: And I'm not trying to be a homer here. Everybody 334 00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:01,160 Speaker 1: knows I'm the biggest self lolothing Met fan that has 335 00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:04,320 Speaker 1: ever been in the entire history of the universe. But 336 00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:08,160 Speaker 1: I think what you saw was, you know, you saw 337 00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:10,719 Speaker 1: the smooth left handed swing, you saw him handled major 338 00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:13,559 Speaker 1: league pitching. You saw everything you needed to see. And 339 00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:15,800 Speaker 1: Edward Escobar is a good player. He's a role player. 340 00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:18,080 Speaker 1: He's a guy that the Mets, you know, really like, 341 00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:21,480 Speaker 1: and the Met clubhouse really likes. But he's not going 342 00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:23,960 Speaker 1: to be the everyday third baseman the entire year for 343 00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:26,120 Speaker 1: the Mets. It's not going to be the case. Brett 344 00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:28,520 Speaker 1: Baty is eventually going to come in here and be 345 00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:31,400 Speaker 1: a thing. And I think that it's something everybody should 346 00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:34,400 Speaker 1: pay attention to because if you drafted him and he 347 00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:36,320 Speaker 1: saw he got sent down you're a little bummed right now, 348 00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:38,640 Speaker 1: I wouldn't be. I would just keep him on the bench. 349 00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:40,680 Speaker 1: If you absolutely have a short bench and you can't 350 00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:43,880 Speaker 1: handle it, I get it, you need more help streaming pitchers, whatever. 351 00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:46,040 Speaker 1: But if you have the ability to hold this player, 352 00:14:46,040 --> 00:14:48,680 Speaker 1: I would hold him because I see a place where 353 00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:52,520 Speaker 1: by Memorial Day he's taking over that job. I think 354 00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:54,520 Speaker 1: he's going to be undeniable at Triple A. I think 355 00:14:54,520 --> 00:14:57,000 Speaker 1: there's very little left for him to prove. I think 356 00:14:57,040 --> 00:14:58,840 Speaker 1: spring training goes a long way just showing that you 357 00:14:58,840 --> 00:15:02,160 Speaker 1: could hit major league pitching, and he did that. The 358 00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:04,560 Speaker 1: defense is something that he's worked on too. I saw 359 00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:06,320 Speaker 1: there was one Aaron throw. I was watching a game 360 00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:08,320 Speaker 1: where did miss a throw there at one point. But 361 00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:10,720 Speaker 1: other than that, the glove is pretty good, the bad 362 00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:13,440 Speaker 1: is exceptional. And the Mets need a little bit more 363 00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:16,080 Speaker 1: left handers in that lineup, and I think he goes 364 00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:18,320 Speaker 1: a long way in that sense. So Brett Beaty's a 365 00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:20,720 Speaker 1: guy for me that is going to be up probably 366 00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:23,600 Speaker 1: by June. And if you're looking for a player for 367 00:15:23,640 --> 00:15:25,080 Speaker 1: four months who might end up an every day job 368 00:15:25,120 --> 00:15:27,000 Speaker 1: at third base, which Welsh. How many times we talked 369 00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:30,040 Speaker 1: about how tough third base is to me, he's a 370 00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:32,280 Speaker 1: win kind of player. Who's next on your list here? 371 00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:35,000 Speaker 1: Your third guy for the winners in spring training? 372 00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:38,240 Speaker 3: Well, my final riser here. It's actually probably a. 373 00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:41,120 Speaker 2: Little bit questionable about how like much did he rise 374 00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:44,840 Speaker 2: because of the spring, But I've been talking about him 375 00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:46,840 Speaker 2: since day one, and Joe will attest to it. 376 00:15:46,920 --> 00:15:48,360 Speaker 3: I'm not new to this game. 377 00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:50,960 Speaker 2: If anything, I had to be one of the original conductors, 378 00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:54,040 Speaker 2: because if there are three players that I'm associated with 379 00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:58,239 Speaker 2: this spring, Joe, it's Corbyn Carrol Large, Nupart and Jeffrey Springs. 380 00:15:58,600 --> 00:16:01,080 Speaker 2: And I think what happened spring, which I think is 381 00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:04,720 Speaker 2: no pun intended this spring with Springs, is that there 382 00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:06,920 Speaker 2: was a lot of talk people like me talking about 383 00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:08,840 Speaker 2: how excited they were with the pitch mix and him 384 00:16:08,840 --> 00:16:11,480 Speaker 2: getting more. But also take a look at the results 385 00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:14,480 Speaker 2: that went along with all of this hype. Fourteen innings 386 00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:18,560 Speaker 2: pitch this spring, twenty four strikeouts, did not give up 387 00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:22,080 Speaker 2: an earned run and had a point five whip. Spring 388 00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:25,720 Speaker 2: stats don't matter, but when you're talking about big breakout pitchers, 389 00:16:25,760 --> 00:16:28,040 Speaker 2: guys that are ready to take the next step, like 390 00:16:28,080 --> 00:16:31,280 Speaker 2: we've been talking about, when they come out and they 391 00:16:31,360 --> 00:16:35,480 Speaker 2: are absolutely unhittable, dominant in spring, It's something to take 392 00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:37,360 Speaker 2: a look at. Plus we've seen a little bit more 393 00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:39,960 Speaker 2: sweeper action in his pitch mix. He's changed that up, 394 00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:43,160 Speaker 2: which gets the hardcore pitching guys excited. Jeffrey Springs is 395 00:16:43,160 --> 00:16:45,560 Speaker 2: a guy the projections still aren't pushing up. But I'm 396 00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:48,000 Speaker 2: telling you, I have thought since day one that this 397 00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:50,760 Speaker 2: is a guy that's got top twenty sp upside. It 398 00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:53,240 Speaker 2: really is just built around how much can he get 399 00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:56,320 Speaker 2: pushed this year? And I firmly believe he will push 400 00:16:56,520 --> 00:17:01,360 Speaker 2: projection innings limit, pitched innings, pitch limit on projections this year. 401 00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:02,880 Speaker 2: And this is why I think he's going to be 402 00:17:02,920 --> 00:17:05,399 Speaker 2: such a dominant guy. And we have seen his adp 403 00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:08,639 Speaker 2: rise and rise and rise, and some of it must 404 00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:12,000 Speaker 2: have to do with this insane spring that he had. 405 00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:15,680 Speaker 1: Speaking of great Springs and guys we've talked about ad nauseam. 406 00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:17,720 Speaker 1: How about red debt Mers. That's my last guy to 407 00:17:17,760 --> 00:17:18,200 Speaker 1: talk about. 408 00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:20,359 Speaker 3: I would have added him if you didn't, my friend. 409 00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:24,760 Speaker 1: Seventeen innings in Spring two sixty Era gave up just 410 00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:27,560 Speaker 1: ten hits. Nobody's squaring this guy up. He struck out 411 00:17:27,600 --> 00:17:30,679 Speaker 1: twenty three guys in those seven innings give up just 412 00:17:30,680 --> 00:17:33,800 Speaker 1: five walks, the e the whip excuse me, point eighty seven, 413 00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:36,760 Speaker 1: the batting average against one point six y one. I mean, 414 00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:39,439 Speaker 1: Redebt Meers has really emerged. And I'll tell you what 415 00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:41,240 Speaker 1: in Angel's rotation that we have been so tough on 416 00:17:41,320 --> 00:17:43,000 Speaker 1: over the last couple of years, that really is just 417 00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:45,800 Speaker 1: they have failed to develop pitching that has been a 418 00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:48,919 Speaker 1: big problem for this organization in the past, and this 419 00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:50,800 Speaker 1: is an opportunity for them to kind of write that. 420 00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:53,399 Speaker 1: And you know, the Angels on paper, they are deeper 421 00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:55,879 Speaker 1: than they've been in a while. They need somebody to 422 00:17:55,880 --> 00:17:58,159 Speaker 1: step up in that rotation. If Redebtmers pitches like a 423 00:17:58,200 --> 00:18:01,200 Speaker 1: front end starter along with O'tom, this is a very 424 00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:04,640 Speaker 1: different Angels team potentially. I say potentially because the injuries 425 00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:07,720 Speaker 1: to Trout, when those things happen, it seems like annually 426 00:18:08,240 --> 00:18:10,760 Speaker 1: it just drags everything down with it. But re Detmars 427 00:18:10,800 --> 00:18:12,800 Speaker 1: is in a unique position right now to be that 428 00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:15,120 Speaker 1: compliment to Otani, to be that guy towards the front 429 00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:19,280 Speaker 1: of that rotation, and that completely changes the look and 430 00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:22,000 Speaker 1: feel of this team. And in fantasy purposes, he's a 431 00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:24,479 Speaker 1: picture that I thought would really start to rock it up, 432 00:18:24,520 --> 00:18:28,280 Speaker 1: like I saw Spring's adp rocket up. Denver's really didn't. 433 00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:30,080 Speaker 1: It really just kind of hung up. It moved a 434 00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:31,960 Speaker 1: little bit, you know, and maybe some of the Sharper 435 00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:34,399 Speaker 1: leagues you see him go around maybe too early, but 436 00:18:34,440 --> 00:18:36,360 Speaker 1: I'm telling you it, like those teams that were aggressive 437 00:18:36,359 --> 00:18:39,280 Speaker 1: on Detmos canna be really really happy for it. Before 438 00:18:39,280 --> 00:18:42,159 Speaker 1: we get to the losers. Boy, that's one of the 439 00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:43,840 Speaker 1: best transitions I get to do all year, before we 440 00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:45,520 Speaker 1: get to the guys whose Spring did not work out 441 00:18:46,040 --> 00:18:49,120 Speaker 1: or maybe Spring was not their favorite season. I want 442 00:18:49,119 --> 00:18:52,399 Speaker 1: to remind everybody too that now that we are transitioning 443 00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:55,359 Speaker 1: into the regular season.

He was a huge Fantasy baseball nerd, and 450 00:19:13,240 --> 00:19:15,439 Speaker 1: now he's gotten back into it and he got our 451 00:19:15,560 --> 00:19:17,280 Speaker 1: tools and it helped him with the draft. He said, 452 00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:19,320 Speaker 1: this is the greatest thing I've ever seen.

Sink all 465 00:19:51,240 --> 00:19:54,159 Speaker 1: of your leagues and take your fantasy baseball experience to 466 00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:57,119 Speaker 1: new heights and leave that competition in the dust with 467 00:19:57,200 --> 00:19:59,760 Speaker 1: the old bases and the shift where things belong in 468 00:19:59,800 --> 00:20:03,159 Speaker 1: the in the dirt, buried forever my horse book. We 469 00:20:03,320 --> 00:20:06,440 Speaker 1: drafted the good team. Now it's trying to manage them 470 00:20:06,760 --> 00:20:09,160 Speaker 1: all the way to the championship. So wels kick things 471 00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:11,240 Speaker 1: off here, who's our first loser from spring training? 472 00:20:11,760 --> 00:20:14,440 Speaker 2: Well, I mean, no bigger loser than a second basement 473 00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:17,680 Speaker 2: prospect that everyone's excited about that then gets sent down 474 00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:22,280 Speaker 2: when there is nobody to really take his job. Unfortunately, 475 00:20:22,359 --> 00:20:25,360 Speaker 2: you are a loveab looser jobs. You're a loveable loser 476 00:20:25,680 --> 00:20:28,760 Speaker 2: when a guy named Orlando Arcia takes your job. And 477 00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:31,360 Speaker 2: that's unfortunately what von Grissom had in front of him. 478 00:20:31,400 --> 00:20:33,760 Speaker 2: He didn't really have a horrid spring hit three seventy 479 00:20:33,800 --> 00:20:36,879 Speaker 2: one with the four hundred OVP had a couple stolen bases. 480 00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:38,800 Speaker 2: Really not a lot of power that came out of it. 481 00:20:38,920 --> 00:20:40,560 Speaker 2: But I don't think it was about the power. It 482 00:20:40,600 --> 00:20:42,399 Speaker 2: was about what he showed on his glove in spring. 483 00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:45,359 Speaker 2: I mean, this is clearly the Braves are not a 484 00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:47,959 Speaker 2: team that's afraid to bring these guys up, bring them 485 00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:50,400 Speaker 2: up early, and then extend them. They are not Look 486 00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:51,960 Speaker 2: at what happened with Michael Harris. I mean they literally 487 00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:53,480 Speaker 2: had the top two n L Rookie of the Year 488 00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:56,639 Speaker 2: candidates in Strider and Harris, and they push them. So 489 00:20:56,720 --> 00:20:59,159 Speaker 2: that is why we're all shocked, and for him to 490 00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:01,480 Speaker 2: be sent down a trip is pretty eye opening for 491 00:21:01,520 --> 00:21:04,280 Speaker 2: all of us. And it's hard to not say that 492 00:21:04,359 --> 00:21:06,359 Speaker 2: he's a huge loser in this because he was a 493 00:21:06,359 --> 00:21:08,560 Speaker 2: top two hundred pick who is going to start at 494 00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:11,639 Speaker 2: Triple A, no homers, and really I think there's a 495 00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:13,919 Speaker 2: big question about his glove because they work so much 496 00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:15,880 Speaker 2: in the off season and in spring about him being 497 00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:16,520 Speaker 2: a shortstop. 498 00:21:16,760 --> 00:21:17,920 Speaker 3: For him to not make. 499 00:21:17,760 --> 00:21:19,760 Speaker 2: It really makes me wonder if they are going to 500 00:21:19,760 --> 00:21:21,639 Speaker 2: try to push him back in another position in the 501 00:21:21,680 --> 00:21:24,680 Speaker 2: minor leagues or they're just going to dance around until 502 00:21:24,680 --> 00:21:27,080 Speaker 2: they can get this to work. But von Grissom number 503 00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:29,400 Speaker 2: one on the biggest losers. 504 00:21:29,880 --> 00:21:32,639 Speaker 1: I would be buying him in Doyna se Leges right 505 00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:34,280 Speaker 1: now because I think he's a hard working kid. I've 506 00:21:34,320 --> 00:21:35,720 Speaker 1: seen a lot of things about him, and I watched 507 00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:39,440 Speaker 1: him working on the defense too. I would be buying 508 00:21:39,440 --> 00:21:41,160 Speaker 1: because I could make you can buy in cheap and 509 00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:45,320 Speaker 1: those Braves prospects have a really good pedigree. Typically more 510 00:21:45,359 --> 00:21:47,000 Speaker 1: of them tend to hit than they don't, and the 511 00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:48,679 Speaker 1: ones that don't you can see right away, like the 512 00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:50,840 Speaker 1: waters of the world and the Paschas of the world. 513 00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:52,520 Speaker 1: I got look those guys for two minutes. I was like, 514 00:21:52,520 --> 00:21:54,200 Speaker 1: well that guy's never going to be a thing. I'm sorry, 515 00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:56,840 Speaker 1: I just did. Sometimes you just know when you're around 516 00:21:56,880 --> 00:21:58,639 Speaker 1: the game. For all as long as I've been in 517 00:21:58,720 --> 00:22:00,760 Speaker 1: Welsh has been you just know these things. But for 518 00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:02,200 Speaker 1: the most part, they are so good. 519 00:22:02,480 --> 00:22:04,720 Speaker 2: And the positive is is I don't think this was 520 00:22:04,760 --> 00:22:06,640 Speaker 2: about the bat. I don't think because he hit three 521 00:22:06,680 --> 00:22:08,840 Speaker 2: seventy one in spring. This was a defensive thing, so 522 00:22:08,920 --> 00:22:11,920 Speaker 2: that gives us a lot of where that'sche was the difference. 523 00:22:11,920 --> 00:22:14,679 Speaker 2: Pache was a Gold Glove defensive outfielder, but it was 524 00:22:14,680 --> 00:22:17,000 Speaker 2: the bat that didn't get caught up. The Braves are 525 00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:19,639 Speaker 2: a team that don't need that offense from Grissom right now, 526 00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:21,920 Speaker 2: and that's why RCA might be a nice little compliment. 527 00:22:22,160 --> 00:22:24,040 Speaker 2: I think they're going to learn their lessons soon. But 528 00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:26,840 Speaker 2: no doubt spring biggest loser von Grissom. 529 00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:30,359 Speaker 1: Yeah, definitely, so all right for me. First got on 530 00:22:30,359 --> 00:22:32,199 Speaker 1: the list is actually somebody that you've been warning us 531 00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:34,480 Speaker 1: all about, and to be honest with you, I haven't 532 00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:37,919 Speaker 1: really seen too much of him this spring, so I 533 00:22:37,960 --> 00:22:40,119 Speaker 1: had to go check out the numbers and it's Dylan Cees. 534 00:22:40,240 --> 00:22:42,440 Speaker 1: It has not been good this spring, and I think 535 00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:44,800 Speaker 1: all the regression that everyone's been talking about potentially that 536 00:22:44,840 --> 00:22:46,800 Speaker 1: has been in there. Yes, he's going to strikeout guys. 537 00:22:46,840 --> 00:22:50,359 Speaker 1: He did have some good strikeout numbers this spring. He 538 00:22:50,440 --> 00:22:53,520 Speaker 1: was up to on the strikeout range a good number. 539 00:22:53,520 --> 00:22:56,480 Speaker 1: They're seventeen to twelve there, so he's a really good spot. 540 00:22:56,760 --> 00:22:59,719 Speaker 1: The problem, twelve walks is the problem. You know, seventeen 541 00:22:59,720 --> 00:23:01,240 Speaker 1: strike out to the sixty things. You like that. The 542 00:23:01,240 --> 00:23:04,080 Speaker 1: twelve walks, oh, that's a problem. The one eight to 543 00:23:04,160 --> 00:23:07,000 Speaker 1: eight whip, that's a problem. The seven point three to 544 00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:10,440 Speaker 1: one era. Now look, I remember the year that Zach 545 00:23:10,480 --> 00:23:13,159 Speaker 1: Grienki won the cy Young for the Royals. He had 546 00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:15,640 Speaker 1: an era of twelve in the spring or something ridiculous 547 00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:17,440 Speaker 1: and he dropped so far and drafts people were like, 548 00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:19,600 Speaker 1: oh my god's he heard something wrong. Some guys it 549 00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:20,200 Speaker 1: doesn't matter. 550 00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:22,600 Speaker 2: But when he just gave up eleven earned runs, by 551 00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:24,160 Speaker 2: the way in one start in spring, I just want 552 00:23:24,160 --> 00:23:26,399 Speaker 2: to point out he got absolutely wapped. 553 00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:28,199 Speaker 1: And that happened sometimes where guys are like, I'm just 554 00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:30,199 Speaker 1: throwing fastballs today, like that's all I'm doing, And that 555 00:23:30,280 --> 00:23:32,800 Speaker 1: happened sometimes. So I don't want to freak out about it, 556 00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:36,000 Speaker 1: but it is one thing where you have expectations of 557 00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:38,000 Speaker 1: regression a little bit from what a guy did last year, 558 00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:40,040 Speaker 1: and then you don't see him have a great spring 559 00:23:40,119 --> 00:23:42,760 Speaker 1: or get lit up once or twice. It concerns me 560 00:23:42,840 --> 00:23:44,520 Speaker 1: just a little. I'm not freaking out. I still think 561 00:23:44,560 --> 00:23:46,879 Speaker 1: he's a top twenty five pitcher without a doubt, but 562 00:23:47,119 --> 00:23:49,080 Speaker 1: he was going closer to that top ten universe, and 563 00:23:49,119 --> 00:23:51,000 Speaker 1: I think that's a conversation that we've been trying to 564 00:23:51,040 --> 00:23:54,400 Speaker 1: have all year long. Spring did not make that conversation 565 00:23:54,480 --> 00:23:56,639 Speaker 1: easier to have. Next on your list of loser as 566 00:23:56,680 --> 00:23:57,760 Speaker 1: wells who is it from Spring? 567 00:23:58,119 --> 00:24:00,399 Speaker 2: Well, you know this Nay might not jump out to you, 568 00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:02,680 Speaker 2: but he was all but a lock for at least 569 00:24:02,720 --> 00:24:05,119 Speaker 2: a DH spot coming into this spring. And guess what 570 00:24:05,359 --> 00:24:10,360 Speaker 2: optioned out. It's Wanda Pez And unfortunately he is one 571 00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:14,080 Speaker 2: of the catalysts and the results of Jordan Walker making 572 00:24:14,119 --> 00:24:16,360 Speaker 2: this team and wan Ya Pez didn't have a good 573 00:24:16,359 --> 00:24:19,320 Speaker 2: Spring either two twenty four with a sub three hundred OBP. 574 00:24:19,800 --> 00:24:21,800 Speaker 2: He did have a bunch of RBIs and one homer, 575 00:24:22,080 --> 00:24:25,479 Speaker 2: only thirteen hits in fifty eight at bats with barely 576 00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:28,240 Speaker 2: over a six hundred ops. And you know they had 577 00:24:28,240 --> 00:24:30,520 Speaker 2: other options like Dylan Carlson is not someone that they 578 00:24:30,640 --> 00:24:33,480 Speaker 2: had to keep up. He had Alec Burlson. I'm not 579 00:24:33,520 --> 00:24:35,800 Speaker 2: even caring, nor do I care about options or anything 580 00:24:35,840 --> 00:24:37,560 Speaker 2: like that. This is what gets them going there. But 581 00:24:37,960 --> 00:24:40,320 Speaker 2: Yepez has been a little bit of a question defensively. 582 00:24:40,359 --> 00:24:42,840 Speaker 2: So the bat has to play, and this was a 583 00:24:42,840 --> 00:24:45,199 Speaker 2: guy that if you're hitting six or seven in the 584 00:24:45,200 --> 00:24:48,679 Speaker 2: Cardinals lineup as a big bat, first power guy. There 585 00:24:48,720 --> 00:24:51,440 Speaker 2: actually was a lot of sneaky potential there this spring. 586 00:24:51,840 --> 00:24:54,720 Speaker 2: It wasn't just about Walker. It was also a really 587 00:24:54,720 --> 00:24:57,520 Speaker 2: really poor spring. I will point out he was played 588 00:24:57,520 --> 00:25:00,200 Speaker 2: in the Dominican Winner League. He got really sick, lost 589 00:25:00,240 --> 00:25:02,960 Speaker 2: a whole bunch of weight, had a horrific Dominic Dominican 590 00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:05,119 Speaker 2: Winner League, and I think that might have carried over 591 00:25:05,119 --> 00:25:06,880 Speaker 2: a little bit. So he actually might be a sneaky 592 00:25:06,920 --> 00:25:10,159 Speaker 2: by long term. But this spring brought out a huge, 593 00:25:10,520 --> 00:25:13,080 Speaker 2: huge spring loser in Wanya Pez. 594 00:25:14,280 --> 00:25:16,679 Speaker 1: Well, I don't know how to phrase this except that 595 00:25:16,840 --> 00:25:19,600 Speaker 1: my number two guy on my list is maybe the 596 00:25:19,680 --> 00:25:22,320 Speaker 1: anti Kellernick. You know, if Jared Kellernick needed it was 597 00:25:22,359 --> 00:25:24,399 Speaker 1: that prospect on his last leg who needed to have 598 00:25:24,440 --> 00:25:26,639 Speaker 1: a really good spring kind of capitalize on that and 599 00:25:26,680 --> 00:25:28,840 Speaker 1: give you good feelings. I think this is the end 600 00:25:28,880 --> 00:25:31,600 Speaker 1: of the Joe Adell train. I mean, Joe Adell was 601 00:25:31,680 --> 00:25:36,120 Speaker 1: a very highly regarded prospect everywhere for many years now, 602 00:25:36,560 --> 00:25:39,080 Speaker 1: and he's gotten more than one opportunity, and I think 603 00:25:39,080 --> 00:25:41,040 Speaker 1: a good Spring would have gone a very long way 604 00:25:41,119 --> 00:25:44,120 Speaker 1: to maybe map out the rest of his career being 605 00:25:44,119 --> 00:25:46,720 Speaker 1: a major leaguer. But Welsh, you get two twenty nine, 606 00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:49,680 Speaker 1: forty eight at bats. Now, he did have a couple 607 00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:51,280 Speaker 1: of homers, he did a four homers, but here's the 608 00:25:51,320 --> 00:25:56,480 Speaker 1: bigger problem. Twenty two strikeouts in those forty eight at bats. 609 00:25:57,040 --> 00:25:58,880 Speaker 1: That ain't going to get it done. To me, that's 610 00:25:58,880 --> 00:26:01,280 Speaker 1: a guy that is still not having good pitch recognition skills, 611 00:26:01,280 --> 00:26:02,760 Speaker 1: a guy's not getting the good pitch to hit, a 612 00:26:02,760 --> 00:26:05,480 Speaker 1: guy who's not taking good at bats making good contact. 613 00:26:05,680 --> 00:26:09,880 Speaker 1: He had two walks, two walks all spring, twenty two strikeouts. 614 00:26:10,160 --> 00:26:12,120 Speaker 1: He had one stolen base, so he's an athletic kid. 615 00:26:12,119 --> 00:26:14,840 Speaker 1: But the one stolen base one caught stealing. The ops 616 00:26:14,920 --> 00:26:16,840 Speaker 1: was seven to seventy five. Again, he did have a 617 00:26:16,840 --> 00:26:19,320 Speaker 1: couple bombs, but we all know Spring is not the 618 00:26:19,359 --> 00:26:20,639 Speaker 1: great judge of power. 619 00:26:20,760 --> 00:26:23,720 Speaker 2: Yes, Miguel Vargas had a fractured finger, and he guarded 620 00:26:23,800 --> 00:26:25,360 Speaker 2: three walks when pitchers. 621 00:26:25,080 --> 00:26:26,560 Speaker 1: Knew he couldn't sing. 622 00:26:27,080 --> 00:26:27,960 Speaker 3: I just want to point that out. 623 00:26:28,640 --> 00:26:31,479 Speaker 2: More walks when he couldn't swing, and pictures new than 624 00:26:31,520 --> 00:26:32,800 Speaker 2: Joe adept at all. 625 00:26:32,640 --> 00:26:35,800 Speaker 1: What more can one say than that? I mean, that's 626 00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:37,840 Speaker 1: that's all we can say about Joe Adele. Is jo 627 00:26:37,880 --> 00:26:39,119 Speaker 1: Adell done? Like? 628 00:26:40,640 --> 00:26:41,480 Speaker 3: He just hasn't showl? 629 00:26:41,520 --> 00:26:43,760 Speaker 2: Like there was this book a couple of years back 630 00:26:43,800 --> 00:26:46,760 Speaker 2: about like really high velocity fastballs because he was trying 631 00:26:46,760 --> 00:26:48,440 Speaker 2: to cheat and he couldn't catch up to them, and 632 00:26:48,520 --> 00:26:51,520 Speaker 2: he still can't. Like I I haven't seen any new 633 00:26:51,600 --> 00:26:54,320 Speaker 2: pit Like if you throw him a meat fastball down, 634 00:26:54,359 --> 00:26:55,959 Speaker 2: can Joe Adele hit it four fifty? 635 00:26:56,080 --> 00:26:56,399 Speaker 1: Sure? 636 00:26:56,600 --> 00:26:57,680 Speaker 3: Can he run like the wind? 637 00:26:57,800 --> 00:26:58,080 Speaker 1: Sure? 638 00:26:58,600 --> 00:26:59,320 Speaker 3: But he can't hit. 639 00:26:59,440 --> 00:27:02,359 Speaker 2: He can't hit for average, he can't hit consistently, and 640 00:27:02,480 --> 00:27:04,400 Speaker 2: really good pictures are going to eat him for lunch 641 00:27:04,480 --> 00:27:05,120 Speaker 2: every single day. 642 00:27:05,160 --> 00:27:05,639 Speaker 3: So I don't know. 643 00:27:05,760 --> 00:27:07,760 Speaker 2: Maybe Joidell is going to be a really late bloomer. 644 00:27:07,800 --> 00:27:10,200 Speaker 2: I could see that because he's a pretty smart, competitive guy. 645 00:27:10,680 --> 00:27:11,880 Speaker 2: But I just don't know how it's going to look 646 00:27:11,880 --> 00:27:13,879 Speaker 2: because I don't know how many opportunities you still have, 647 00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:16,840 Speaker 2: But I'm not going to be sitting around to watch 648 00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:17,800 Speaker 2: that turnaround. 649 00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:19,160 Speaker 3: So I'm out on jo Adell. 650 00:27:19,600 --> 00:27:21,560 Speaker 1: All right, let's get to the biggest loser of spring. 651 00:27:21,600 --> 00:27:25,159 Speaker 1: We don't mean in wait, we mean in possible value. 652 00:27:25,560 --> 00:27:28,399 Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm going with another cardinal here, and I'm going 653 00:27:28,480 --> 00:27:33,560 Speaker 2: with Jack Flaherty. Jack Flaherty really real bounce back potential 654 00:27:33,640 --> 00:27:36,000 Speaker 2: that everybody was hoping for. But this spring has been 655 00:27:36,160 --> 00:27:38,199 Speaker 2: more of the same. He's had five starts, he's had 656 00:27:38,200 --> 00:27:41,879 Speaker 2: an over six era, he's had less strikeouts than walks 657 00:27:42,119 --> 00:27:46,120 Speaker 2: and almost a one seven whip. Things don't look right. 658 00:27:46,160 --> 00:27:48,360 Speaker 2: Things don't look like they're ever going to get right. 659 00:27:48,640 --> 00:27:52,560 Speaker 2: There's continuous health concerns, and he didn't show any pot 660 00:27:52,680 --> 00:27:55,960 Speaker 2: like we saw Lucas Giolito come back and have a 661 00:27:55,960 --> 00:27:58,240 Speaker 2: really good spring and have positive signs. We've seen lots 662 00:27:58,280 --> 00:28:02,080 Speaker 2: of people come back from these runs and reshow their stuff. 663 00:28:02,440 --> 00:28:06,320 Speaker 2: Flarerity's not that. Flarity is showing more inconsistencies. He's showing 664 00:28:06,480 --> 00:28:09,600 Speaker 2: very hitable pitches and his results look like garbage. And 665 00:28:09,680 --> 00:28:12,479 Speaker 2: it is spring. But I don't know what you're working on. 666 00:28:12,600 --> 00:28:14,520 Speaker 2: You're working on getting hit. I don't know what other 667 00:28:14,600 --> 00:28:16,680 Speaker 2: the thing You're like, oh, we're working on fastballs. You're 668 00:28:16,720 --> 00:28:20,200 Speaker 2: working on BP fastballs all day long. So I have 669 00:28:20,280 --> 00:28:22,760 Speaker 2: to say I couldn't be more out on flerity where 670 00:28:23,080 --> 00:28:26,600 Speaker 2: there are possibilities. Von Grissom might be the biggest loser, 671 00:28:26,880 --> 00:28:30,160 Speaker 2: but there's a possibility he comes back. I don't think 672 00:28:30,160 --> 00:28:32,560 Speaker 2: Flarity's draftable at this point. I don't know why we're 673 00:28:32,560 --> 00:28:34,119 Speaker 2: doing it. I would rather take a shot on a 674 00:28:34,160 --> 00:28:37,160 Speaker 2: million other guys. So Spring I think kind of did 675 00:28:37,160 --> 00:28:39,360 Speaker 2: it in as a final nail in the coffin for 676 00:28:39,800 --> 00:28:40,480 Speaker 2: Jack Flerty. 677 00:28:40,760 --> 00:28:44,160 Speaker 1: Hey, somebody asked me this morning on Twitter, responded to 678 00:28:44,160 --> 00:28:45,760 Speaker 1: one of our shows and one of the clips. He said, 679 00:28:46,240 --> 00:28:47,959 Speaker 1: you know I've got Jack Flaherty. Can I drop him 680 00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:51,920 Speaker 1: from Wiznsky? And I was like, yeah, easily, I would 681 00:28:51,960 --> 00:28:53,240 Speaker 1: go for it. Like what do you have to lose 682 00:28:53,240 --> 00:28:56,000 Speaker 1: at this point? I mean, and that sounds crazy if 683 00:28:56,040 --> 00:28:58,520 Speaker 1: I said that to somebody, you know what a year ago. 684 00:28:58,760 --> 00:29:01,000 Speaker 1: But we're living in the that's what we're trying to do. 685 00:29:01,880 --> 00:29:03,880 Speaker 1: Somebody's gonna have to be living in the now and 686 00:29:03,960 --> 00:29:06,840 Speaker 1: find another gig somewhere. Is Kestonhiro. Once upon a time, 687 00:29:06,880 --> 00:29:08,440 Speaker 1: this is a guy people thought and the Brewer system 688 00:29:08,480 --> 00:29:09,600 Speaker 1: was going to win batting titles. 689 00:29:09,760 --> 00:29:11,320 Speaker 3: I thought he was going to be amazing. This is 690 00:29:11,440 --> 00:29:12,600 Speaker 3: oh man, this is what he is. 691 00:29:12,640 --> 00:29:15,400 Speaker 1: One of these guys Welsh, if you like. I remember 692 00:29:15,400 --> 00:29:17,840 Speaker 1: watching him in the minor leagues and thinking, yeah, this 693 00:29:17,880 --> 00:29:20,520 Speaker 1: guy's getting this guy's good, he's really good. And then 694 00:29:20,800 --> 00:29:23,040 Speaker 1: you know, I watched a couple at bats even last year, 695 00:29:23,160 --> 00:29:26,120 Speaker 1: and it's just like a completely different person. I think 696 00:29:26,120 --> 00:29:28,680 Speaker 1: he got way too home run happy, way too pole happy, 697 00:29:28,760 --> 00:29:31,120 Speaker 1: and the next thing you know, he is gonna find 698 00:29:31,160 --> 00:29:34,040 Speaker 1: his way somewhere else. He got DFA today. Thirty two 699 00:29:34,040 --> 00:29:37,800 Speaker 1: at bats this spring for him five hits, three or rbi, 700 00:29:38,360 --> 00:29:41,040 Speaker 1: one run, scored, a one to fifty six batting average, 701 00:29:41,040 --> 00:29:42,440 Speaker 1: a two to twenty nine OBP, and a four to 702 00:29:42,520 --> 00:29:45,400 Speaker 1: forty eight OPS. I mean, I just don't know what 703 00:29:45,520 --> 00:29:47,480 Speaker 1: becomes of you, Like, I don't know if another major 704 00:29:47,560 --> 00:29:49,880 Speaker 1: league team says we can get this guy right. But 705 00:29:50,120 --> 00:29:52,800 Speaker 1: it's such a dramatic fall with him and Adell. These 706 00:29:52,800 --> 00:29:55,800 Speaker 1: were two guys. If people were in dynasty leagues coveting, 707 00:29:56,400 --> 00:29:59,200 Speaker 1: and now one of them just got Dfaid and Joe Adell, 708 00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:02,680 Speaker 1: I'll be getting close to being out of options, literally, 709 00:30:02,720 --> 00:30:03,840 Speaker 1: and figuratively. 710 00:30:03,360 --> 00:30:07,920 Speaker 3: At some point I loved this guy. I actually it's 711 00:30:07,960 --> 00:30:08,600 Speaker 3: Welsh doing it. 712 00:30:08,720 --> 00:30:11,520 Speaker 2: Iron review both Adele and the Heira, and here in 713 00:30:11,560 --> 00:30:14,920 Speaker 2: the AFL he won the MVP and I think he 714 00:30:15,040 --> 00:30:16,840 Speaker 2: might have won the batting title as well. Hit like 715 00:30:16,880 --> 00:30:20,440 Speaker 2: three seventy. I was there literally in his pro debuts 716 00:30:20,440 --> 00:30:22,960 Speaker 2: on the backfields of the Mariners and are with the Brewers, 717 00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:26,320 Speaker 2: and you know, really easy swing, good in hands, just 718 00:30:26,400 --> 00:30:29,560 Speaker 2: good approach, and it just fell apart. And the leg kick. 719 00:30:29,800 --> 00:30:31,480 Speaker 2: He had this injury when he first came out, and 720 00:30:31,520 --> 00:30:33,640 Speaker 2: he wasn't really utilizing his leg a whole bunch, and 721 00:30:33,640 --> 00:30:35,840 Speaker 2: then in the spring the leg got really high, and 722 00:30:36,440 --> 00:30:38,880 Speaker 2: I don't know, I just think he was always behind. 723 00:30:38,920 --> 00:30:40,920 Speaker 2: His timing got messed up, and I think it just 724 00:30:41,040 --> 00:30:43,360 Speaker 2: kept falling back. I hope some hitting coach can get 725 00:30:43,360 --> 00:30:45,400 Speaker 2: a hold of him, but yeah, I don't know what happened. 726 00:30:45,400 --> 00:30:47,880 Speaker 2: And that one actually hurts more than Adele Kessen Heira 727 00:30:47,960 --> 00:30:50,240 Speaker 2: I feel like was more of a wrong in my 728 00:30:50,320 --> 00:30:52,840 Speaker 2: eyes than even Adele was, because, like you said, I 729 00:30:52,880 --> 00:30:55,640 Speaker 2: thought this guy, if anything, was going to hit for average, 730 00:30:55,920 --> 00:30:58,280 Speaker 2: and that is the last thing on the planet he's doing. 731 00:30:59,120 --> 00:31:02,040 Speaker 1: One more winner it's definitely David Peterson for the Mets 732 00:31:02,080 --> 00:31:04,800 Speaker 1: to getting that fifth starter role. I told everybody I 733 00:31:04,840 --> 00:31:07,560 Speaker 1: did a video in what February about you know the 734 00:31:07,560 --> 00:31:09,200 Speaker 1: guys that are going to break out, the guys that 735 00:31:09,240 --> 00:31:11,280 Speaker 1: you should be targeting early in drafts because it was 736 00:31:11,280 --> 00:31:13,760 Speaker 1: only a matter of time before they got spots. He's 737 00:31:13,800 --> 00:31:16,160 Speaker 1: the fifth starter, He's the lefty. You don't have to 738 00:31:16,160 --> 00:31:17,880 Speaker 1: be a genius to figure this out. Like I don't 739 00:31:17,880 --> 00:31:19,880 Speaker 1: know why, but it was definitely a good spring for 740 00:31:19,920 --> 00:31:22,120 Speaker 1: a lot of players, definitely a bad spring for some others. 741 00:31:22,120 --> 00:31:24,120 Speaker 1: We want to hear who you are happy about and 742 00:31:24,240 --> 00:31:26,920 Speaker 1: unhappy about.
