00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:31,440
Speaker 3: ask talk to everybody about that for that, but five

34
00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:33,600

Speaker 3: Rico somebody.

39
00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:46,000
Speaker 4: I felt more great and powerful when Christopher Sanchez was

40
00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:48,240
Speaker 4: still at full strength yesterday. But I'm doing well, man.

41
00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:50,040
Speaker 4: Let's talk through some of this stuff. We can use

42
00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:51,800
Speaker 4: this as kind of like a therapy session for some

43
00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:54,560
Speaker 4: of our players today because I like to been a

44
00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:57,360
Speaker 4: big Justin Martinez guy, and that doesn't look great today either.

45
00:01:57,560 --> 00:01:59,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, we've got a couple of topics we're going to

46
00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:02,000
Speaker 3: hit just on the here. We want to talk about closers,

47
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:05,240
Speaker 3: and we want to talk about injuries, and unfortunately injuries

48
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:10,320
Speaker 3: kind of move around to everybody. Let's start with the

49
00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:13,399
Speaker 3: closer situation, though we'll be waiting see if we get

50
00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:15,440
Speaker 3: any of our guys. We got a couple questions in

51
00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:18,280
Speaker 3: the queue. We'll hit a few things, so drop him

52
00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:22,400
Speaker 3: in for anybody hanging. But closers are getting kind of weird.

53
00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:24,679
Speaker 3: The very first one, I want to get your take

54
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:28,080
Speaker 3: on this. Joey's backtracking a little bit. Joey piece of Pia,

55
00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:32,400
Speaker 3: but he was kind of having an implication, the implication

56
00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:36,040
Speaker 3: of Emmanuel class A and kind of being like, I

57
00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:38,960
Speaker 3: don't know, and then he backtracks a little bit, except

58
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:43,320
Speaker 3: he was doing it because of because of Cad Smith

59
00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:46,400
Speaker 3: getting back to back staves. But they had said they

60
00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:48,600
Speaker 3: wanted to give class a couple of days off. There's

61
00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:51,320
Speaker 3: some like arm fatigue that's going on. Doesn't seem like

62
00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:53,760
Speaker 3: anything serious, but there's a lot of closer situations that

63
00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:56,840
Speaker 3: are kind of fluid right now. So the question to

64
00:02:56,880 --> 00:02:59,080
Speaker 3: you to start with is is should we be worried

65
00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:01,959
Speaker 3: at all about class A? There is a shoulder thing

66
00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:04,040
Speaker 3: that I think is a worry. I don't think kid

67
00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:06,800
Speaker 3: Smith is a worry or the early results, but the

68
00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:10,359
Speaker 3: early results maybe being because of the shoulders the problem.

69
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:12,919
Speaker 3: So what's your worry level of Emmanuel class.

70
00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:16,600
Speaker 4: Ah, it's kind of high. I mean, even going back

71
00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:19,000
Speaker 4: to the playoffs last year, he didn't look good. If

72
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:22,320
Speaker 4: you look below the surface, there's nothing that's like jumping

73
00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:25,200
Speaker 4: off the page that you necessarily The strikeout rate being

74
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:27,720
Speaker 4: down is the only thing that I can really point to,

75
00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:30,560
Speaker 4: but like he's still not allowing a ton of hard contact.

76
00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:33,280
Speaker 4: The walk rate is only five point seven percent. If

77
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:35,600
Speaker 4: you look at his sierra it's three seventy three. A

78
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:38,160
Speaker 4: lot of the era estimators are pretty good, but the

79
00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:41,040
Speaker 4: velocity dip is kind of drastic. Last year he was

80
00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:43,120
Speaker 4: averaging almost one hundred and ninety nine point eight on

81
00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:46,080
Speaker 4: his fastball. This year's at ninety eight point two. Everything

82
00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:48,560
Speaker 4: is kind of down. Every pitch is down at least

83
00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:51,120
Speaker 4: a tick or so in velocity, and he hasn't been

84
00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:53,800
Speaker 4: good going back to the playoffs last year. So I

85
00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:56,640
Speaker 4: am a little bit worried. If you have kid Smith

86
00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:58,480
Speaker 4: out there on the waiver wire and you're a class

87
00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:01,080
Speaker 4: A owner. I would be adding him up like asap

88
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:01,640
Speaker 4: if you can.

89
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:03,720
Speaker 3: Okay, that was what I was going to ask, is

90
00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:07,720
Speaker 3: do you think CAD is like a must in this situation? So,

91
00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:10,960
Speaker 3: and I think the shoal that's where it's kind of

92
00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:12,960
Speaker 3: weird here because it's like a what am I doing

93
00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:15,120
Speaker 3: with class say, like, I'm just not doing anything. Like

94
00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:16,760
Speaker 3: at the end of the day, I'm not going to panic.

95
00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:18,600
Speaker 3: I'm not going to freak out. But if you've got

96
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:20,800
Speaker 3: the ability, it's probably not the worst thing in the

97
00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:22,919
Speaker 3: world to go pick up Kid Smith because he is

98
00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:26,160
Speaker 3: the replacement if there's something worse with that shoulder. I mean,

99
00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:27,840
Speaker 3: hell man, like, that's gonna be one of the top

100
00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:31,120
Speaker 3: closer markets out there, especially if they're going to get

101
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:33,279
Speaker 3: and he has looked really good so far. Okay, so

102
00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:37,600
Speaker 3: caate Smith pick up Arizona Diamondbacks. There's worry you were

103
00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:40,960
Speaker 3: justin Martinez guy. I've been an AJ puck guy. I

104
00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:42,880
Speaker 3: think I had a slight lead in that, and then

105
00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:48,400
Speaker 3: Ajpuck hurt, I l MRI and then second and third opinions.

106
00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:52,400
Speaker 3: We know exactly what that means. We're not stupid. This

107
00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:55,440
Speaker 3: is not our first rodeo, we know where that's going. Okay,

108
00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:59,480
Speaker 3: Justin Martinez, he's moving up, he's got some fatigue and

109
00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:01,640
Speaker 3: some army sh use as well that they're kind of

110
00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:05,680
Speaker 3: tapering back. So here's the thing. A, do you go

111
00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:10,599
Speaker 3: all in on Justin Martinez? B Do you speculate on

112
00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:13,760
Speaker 3: a guy like Shelby Miller who they love? His fastball

113
00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:16,559
Speaker 3: is graded out incredible, he did have like a prior

114
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:18,960
Speaker 3: to the blown save, he was untouchable, but his little

115
00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:20,680
Speaker 3: blown save they ended up getting the wind, but they

116
00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:23,400
Speaker 3: really like him. Or see, do you look at a

117
00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:26,080
Speaker 3: guy and speculate on Kevin Ginko right now who is

118
00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:28,760
Speaker 3: inching closer to coming back and he had been thrown

119
00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:31,919
Speaker 3: in the mix by Tory Levello, So which obviously, like

120
00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:34,840
Speaker 3: Justin Martinez is like the main piece here, but like

121
00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:39,200
Speaker 3: in ordering, what is the most aggressive play here? Is

122
00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:41,880
Speaker 3: it going all in on Martinez to kind of buy

123
00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:44,120
Speaker 3: or is it speculating on the other two pieces?

124
00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:49,400
Speaker 4: I think with Martinez, I still don't really know how

125
00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:52,920
Speaker 4: serious it is. They're saying it's shoulder fatigue, but they're

126
00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:55,760
Speaker 4: also saying he's very close to one hundred percent. That's

127
00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:59,080
Speaker 4: what the quote from Lebello said, So, I don't think

128
00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:02,040
Speaker 4: we need to sound all the alarm bells, but especially

129
00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:03,800
Speaker 4: in deeper leagues, if you have a little bit more

130
00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:07,520
Speaker 4: leeway to pick up players, picking up Shelby Miller for

131
00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:10,120
Speaker 4: the time being probably makes a little bit of sense

132
00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:12,479
Speaker 4: if you're looking for like very short term saves. But

133
00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:16,120
Speaker 4: Kevin Ginkel is the guy who has some experience in

134
00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:18,880
Speaker 4: the role. They've never really let him run with the role.

135
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:21,200
Speaker 4: Four saves, five saves here and there, but he's put

136
00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:24,480
Speaker 4: up really good numbers over the last several seasons three

137
00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:28,000
Speaker 4: thirty eight, ERA two forty eight, three twenty one, really

138
00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:31,400
Speaker 4: good numbers. Doesn't walk a lot of batters. I think

139
00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:33,680
Speaker 4: that Ginkle, if I was running the team, would probably

140
00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:36,039
Speaker 4: get the job when he comes back, assuming there's something

141
00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:39,560
Speaker 4: more seriously wrong with Martinez. But I think Martinez as

142
00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:42,800
Speaker 4: of now, my concerns aren't off the charts until we

143
00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:43,920
Speaker 4: get a little bit more information.

144
00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:48,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I guess again the theme of that is

145
00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:50,359
Speaker 3: like do you go and you're like, Hey, I'm gonna

146
00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:53,000
Speaker 3: buy on Justin Martinez right now because we know Puck

147
00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:54,760
Speaker 3: is going to be done and there's a little bit

148
00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:57,200
Speaker 3: of worry with Martinez or is it like, oh, you

149
00:06:57,360 --> 00:06:59,960
Speaker 3: kind of avoid and you play in that speculation. Mark,

150
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:02,920
Speaker 3: I think an investment on Ginkle right now actually makes

151
00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:05,120
Speaker 3: a lot of sense. I'm a little bit Shelby millerish,

152
00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:07,760
Speaker 3: but I guess it's like even if Shelby gets an

153
00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:10,240
Speaker 3: opportunity or too, when Ginkle comes back, Like you said,

154
00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:13,400
Speaker 3: he's like the guy Banshee said, what about Beaks? I don't.

155
00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:16,720
Speaker 3: I don't think so. Lavello is obviously making lots of

156
00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:19,480
Speaker 3: bad decisions. There's just too many guys that are above him.

157
00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:22,760
Speaker 3: I don't think Beeks is I think Beaks is low

158
00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:25,040
Speaker 3: down the rings. But you know what if all these

159
00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:29,000
Speaker 3: dudes keep getting hurt, you never know, right Beeks.

160
00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:30,760
Speaker 4: Being the only lefty is going to work against him

161
00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:35,200
Speaker 4: in that regard because there will be times when Yeah,

162
00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:37,160
Speaker 4: I mean, I'm assume, I'm assuming Puk is just gone

163
00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:38,720
Speaker 4: and he'll be the only lefty, so that kind of

164
00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:41,560
Speaker 4: works against him. I don't think that he's an option

165
00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:43,800
Speaker 4: unless you're in a saves and holds the league.

166
00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:48,160
Speaker 3: Will vest for the Tigers. Head got a couple opportunities

167
00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:51,600
Speaker 3: and look good. What is your comfort level or your

168
00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:54,920
Speaker 3: desire of investment? On Will Vest. If if Ginkle was

169
00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:58,680
Speaker 3: out there and Vest, which one are you picking up?

170
00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:01,960
Speaker 4: I'd probably go with Ginkle. It's a better team. There's

171
00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:05,480
Speaker 4: gonna be more victories. I feel like, especially if Martinez

172
00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:07,000
Speaker 4: we hear he has to miss a lot of time

173
00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:09,200
Speaker 4: and podcasts miss a lot of time, then Ginkle becomes

174
00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:12,040
Speaker 4: a pretty obvious option. Where in Detroit they could go

175
00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:14,440
Speaker 4: back to Conley next week and it wouldn't really shock me.

176
00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:16,400
Speaker 4: I know he blew a save on Sunday, but he

177
00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:19,760
Speaker 4: has also been not too bad this year as a whole,

178
00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:22,680
Speaker 4: you know, one O four E R eight to this point.

179
00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:25,400
Speaker 4: I know that he blew a save, but I don't

180
00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:27,560
Speaker 4: really trust anybody in Detroit. I feel like it's a

181
00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:29,880
Speaker 4: situation where you pick up one guy for one week

182
00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:31,640
Speaker 4: and maybe they go with Conley and maybe they go

183
00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:33,920
Speaker 4: with Vest, and you're kind of just chasing your tail

184
00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:36,400
Speaker 4: on the waiver wire and wasting your fab on this situation.

185
00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:38,920
Speaker 4: It's not a team that's gonna win a ton of games,

186
00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:41,160
Speaker 4: So how many saves are you really getting, especially if

187
00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:43,480
Speaker 4: they're gonna mess around like this. I just I just

188
00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:46,439
Speaker 4: can't get myself invested in the Detroit Closer situation unless

189
00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:48,400
Speaker 4: it's a super deep league and you're really desperate, in

190
00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:51,240
Speaker 4: which case I'd probably still go with Conley is there.

191
00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:54,120
Speaker 3: Do you have any concerns moving over to the Kansas

192
00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:57,319
Speaker 3: City Royals with Carlos Estevez blowing a save? I think

193
00:08:57,400 --> 00:08:59,160
Speaker 3: Erseeg has been a little bit banged up, but he's

194
00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:01,160
Speaker 3: like the dude that it was kind of in the

195
00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:04,839
Speaker 3: wings as the closer before. Do you think people should

196
00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:08,240
Speaker 3: be concerned in speculating off of Carlos Estevez right now?

197
00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:13,760
Speaker 4: So, I don't think we need to sound the alarms

198
00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:17,040
Speaker 4: just yet for Estevez because leading up to that start,

199
00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:19,000
Speaker 4: he'd only allowed one run on the season. It was

200
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:20,760
Speaker 4: a it was a bad start. It was a blown save.

201
00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:24,280
Speaker 4: It happens, I now. I was definitely more in the

202
00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:28,960
Speaker 4: Erseg camp preseason, but after really thinking about it and

203
00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:31,800
Speaker 4: the arbitration money that they're gonna have to pay uh

204
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:34,760
Speaker 4: Erseg in the offseason, they're not gonna want to have

205
00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:37,000
Speaker 4: to go into that meeting with Erseg having twenty five

206
00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:39,840
Speaker 4: saves because they're gonna have to pay him more. STZ

207
00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:41,360
Speaker 4: has been a closed in the last couple of years.

208
00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:43,800
Speaker 4: I don't think that the talent level is better with Stevez.

209
00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:45,800
Speaker 4: I think Erseg is a much better pitcher, but just

210
00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:49,880
Speaker 4: based on Kansas City situation, it's probably gonna be Erseg

211
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:52,240
Speaker 4: outside of an injury. Now, maybe later in the season,

212
00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:54,439
Speaker 4: Let's say they're making a playoff push and we're getting

213
00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:56,520
Speaker 4: done to the final two months and Stevez doesn't look great,

214
00:09:56,840 --> 00:09:58,600
Speaker 4: then they're not gonna worry so much about how many

215
00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:00,760
Speaker 4: saves Erseg is gonna have. And there's a chance that

216
00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:03,600
Speaker 4: are excuse me, how many saves asked them? Or no,

217
00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:05,720
Speaker 4: I'm getting myself confused. They're not going to care about

218
00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:09,440
Speaker 4: arbitration money for saves. If Ersag is the closer for

219
00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:11,240
Speaker 4: just the last month or two of the season, I

220
00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:13,839
Speaker 4: think there's a chance that could happen, but I think

221
00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:15,000
Speaker 4: Askedebez is still the guy.

222
00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:19,600
Speaker 3: Is there any other closer situations and or guys of

223
00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:23,120
Speaker 3: speculation that have you worried or have picked your interest

224
00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:25,480
Speaker 3: so worried about any other situations, Like you said, you're

225
00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:28,360
Speaker 3: kind of picking up Cad Smith. Obviously. You know Yankees

226
00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:30,320
Speaker 3: have been Devin Williams been a little bit shaky, and

227
00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:32,199
Speaker 3: I think Fernando Cruz had gotten a save and you

228
00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:34,960
Speaker 3: got Weaver out there. But is there any other speculative

229
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:37,120
Speaker 3: worry or is there any other guy that you think

230
00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:38,760
Speaker 3: it's looming of interest?

231
00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:44,320
Speaker 4: I mean, the Cincinnati situation is always a little bit interesting.

232
00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:49,880
Speaker 4: Alexis Diaz, I just don't really trust him, and he's

233
00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:52,320
Speaker 4: the one who's still on more rosters if I'm looking

234
00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:55,920
Speaker 4: at just like Yahoo now, Emliopegan blew a save last week,

235
00:10:55,960 --> 00:10:57,839
Speaker 4: but for the most part he's been pretty good. That's

236
00:10:57,840 --> 00:11:00,320
Speaker 4: a situation I'm really keeping an eye on because I'm

237
00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:01,960
Speaker 4: not one hundred percent sure about which way they're going

238
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:03,679
Speaker 4: to go. But I see Pegan I was on thirty

239
00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:06,079
Speaker 4: five percent of rosters. Diaz is on fifty five. I

240
00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:09,199
Speaker 4: think that even the people who are more believers in

241
00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:11,199
Speaker 4: Daz should be a little bit worried right now. I

242
00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:13,480
Speaker 4: don't think he's looked good for a while. And because

243
00:11:13,559 --> 00:11:15,600
Speaker 4: Terry Francona wasn't the one who put him in that

244
00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:17,880
Speaker 4: closure role, I don't think he'll have much loyalty towards

245
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:20,800
Speaker 4: keeping him there or putting him back there. So that's

246
00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:22,320
Speaker 4: what I'm keeping an eye on. But I think the

247
00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:24,520
Speaker 4: Pagan is going to be the guy to roster there personally,

248
00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:25,960
Speaker 4: I know I might be in the minority there, but

249
00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:27,839
Speaker 4: I'm kind of still on the pagan side.

250
00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:29,559
Speaker 3: I think Diaz is going to jump back to it.

251
00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:32,480
Speaker 3: I actually if Diaz are available, I want to speculate there.

252
00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:34,560
Speaker 3: But there's also a part of me that this Reds

253
00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:36,760
Speaker 3: team is going to be like highly competitive, that they

254
00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:38,600
Speaker 3: that might be something you have to make a move for.

255
00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:40,800
Speaker 3: You know, they went out and got Taylor Rodgers and

256
00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:43,160
Speaker 3: they brought in Pegan like they got a bunch of

257
00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:45,719
Speaker 3: help and never worked out, you know what I mean,

258
00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:47,240
Speaker 3: Like none of those guys, so you might need to

259
00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:50,760
Speaker 3: keep going. But unfortunately, how many sellers are there out there?

260
00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:54,719
Speaker 3: So I think if Pegan and Diaz are both available,

261
00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:57,280
Speaker 3: those are fun speculative guys. There's a lot of Arizona

262
00:11:57,280 --> 00:12:00,640
Speaker 3: guys closer situations are weird and at the tippy top.

263
00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:03,800
Speaker 3: Obviously a couple of those big names like Emmanuel Classe

264
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:06,920
Speaker 3: have people worried if you, I guess I didn't ask

265
00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:10,600
Speaker 3: you this, what would be your rank of your top

266
00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:15,160
Speaker 3: three speculative pickups? Like is Caid Smith at the tippy

267
00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:16,680
Speaker 3: top of everybody we've talked about?

268
00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:20,240
Speaker 5: Does it ever feel like you're a marketing professional. Just

277
00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:50,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, Caid Smith has got to be at the top there.

278
00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:52,800
Speaker 4: If he goes into that, like let's say class they

279
00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:54,560
Speaker 4: say that some injury has to miss a few months

280
00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:57,560
Speaker 4: of time, then Kate Smith becomes like a top five

281
00:12:57,679 --> 00:13:01,880
Speaker 4: or seven closer. The skill set is just unbelievable. Like

282
00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:04,280
Speaker 4: he is truly one of the best pitchers in baseball.

283
00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:08,880
Speaker 4: As the best relievers in baseball, I'll put that caveat there,

284
00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:11,240
Speaker 4: but he is just fantastic. If he were the closer,

285
00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:13,240
Speaker 4: then I think he's easily a top ten closer rest

286
00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:15,640
Speaker 4: of the season, assuming that clause like let's say class

287
00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:17,680
Speaker 4: is done, which I don't think is necessarily the case.

288
00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:20,120
Speaker 4: But if he were, Kate Smith is a top ten closer.

289
00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:22,240
Speaker 3: Okay, I'm with that one. I think it works. We

290
00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:26,480
Speaker 3: had another closer question as well. Elsba said, should I

291
00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:30,640
Speaker 3: trade Tanner Scott or Kyle Finnegan for Ryan Helsley says,

292
00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:33,079
Speaker 3: I got Alvarado and Mason Miller, so we'll kind of

293
00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:36,839
Speaker 3: stop there for a second. So Tanner Scott, that's a

294
00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:39,040
Speaker 3: kind of a weird one. Should I trade Tanner, Scott

295
00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:43,280
Speaker 3: or Finnegan for Hellsley? Already having Miller and Alvarado, I

296
00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:45,319
Speaker 3: would feel like the quick answer is.

297
00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:48,160
Speaker 4: Like, yes, probably. Helsley worries me a little bit. I

298
00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:50,720
Speaker 4: don't think he's been that great this season. I know

299
00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:53,080
Speaker 4: he's got a few saves, two twenty five era is

300
00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:55,240
Speaker 4: not too bad. I worry a little bit about the

301
00:13:55,280 --> 00:13:57,679
Speaker 4: injuries that he's racked up over the years, and I

302
00:13:57,720 --> 00:13:59,080
Speaker 4: wonder if his arm is gonna be able to stay

303
00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:02,439
Speaker 4: healthy for the whole season. I think that i'd probably

304
00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:05,600
Speaker 4: trade Scott for him, though. Kyle Finnegan just seems to

305
00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:08,199
Speaker 4: be the guy that nobody was interested in, and he's

306
00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:09,960
Speaker 4: gonna do what he did last year once again, and

307
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:11,920
Speaker 4: maybe it's not going to be forty saves, but it'll

308
00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:16,400
Speaker 4: be like thirty something saves that were absolutely free. I

309
00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:20,600
Speaker 4: don't really trust Scott as much just because there are

310
00:14:20,640 --> 00:14:25,680
Speaker 4: so many Bible options in Los Angeles. It's a tricky

311
00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:27,360
Speaker 4: one because I don't really have a lot of faith

312
00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:29,440
Speaker 4: in Hellsley either. On there's a part of me that says,

313
00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:31,440
Speaker 4: you know, maybe you could trade some of these closers

314
00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:34,480
Speaker 4: for a non closer, because having Alvarado and Mason Miller

315
00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:36,840
Speaker 4: is probably good enough in most leagues, don't.

316
00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:39,280
Speaker 3: You think I do? That's why I was like, if

317
00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:41,840
Speaker 3: I guess if there was a market the Tanner Scott

318
00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:44,560
Speaker 3: one's really weird because the whole Dodgers that's another one

319
00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:46,640
Speaker 3: of those we didn't really I guess, like focus on

320
00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:51,120
Speaker 3: Vesia is getting opportunities, Kirby Gates is getting opportunities. Like

321
00:14:51,160 --> 00:14:54,160
Speaker 3: they're still very rotational with all of that. So if

322
00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:57,360
Speaker 3: you're just looking to pick up a random save, Kirby

323
00:14:57,400 --> 00:14:59,760
Speaker 3: Yates is not the worst to be looking at right now.

324
00:14:59,800 --> 00:15:01,960
Speaker 3: But like, what's the value on getting fin again and

325
00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:04,720
Speaker 3: Tanner Scott? But I would be more hard pressed to

326
00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:07,680
Speaker 3: trade them for positional players, like you said, than targeting

327
00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:10,680
Speaker 3: another closer Alvarado Mason Miller. That's getting it done. But

328
00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:13,800
Speaker 3: if there is no market for that and someone's offering Hellsley, Like,

329
00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:15,920
Speaker 3: you know, Helsy was a top ten closer coming into

330
00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:17,920
Speaker 3: this year. Things are weird. But you know, if the

331
00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:20,440
Speaker 3: Cardinals were to fade, he's probably a guy that ends

332
00:15:20,520 --> 00:15:22,480
Speaker 3: up getting moved and maybe he goes into a closer

333
00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:24,720
Speaker 3: sit Maybe our Reds goes into a closure situation. So

334
00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:26,920
Speaker 3: I don't really hate I don't hate doing that. I

335
00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:29,480
Speaker 3: just wish Tanner Scott would turn it around. The Finnegan

336
00:15:29,520 --> 00:15:31,320
Speaker 3: one stands out to me like I'll trade Fin again

337
00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:35,560
Speaker 3: for Helsley. That's fine, Totally fine by me. We had

338
00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:38,760
Speaker 3: else had another question that's going to coincide with where

339
00:15:38,760 --> 00:15:40,920
Speaker 3: we're going to go. But want to remind everybody, as

340
00:15:40,960 --> 00:15:42,480

Speaker 3: Sosa autograph jersey that's on the line this year and

354
00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:21,000
Speaker 3: I'm in the top ten right now, so and I

355
00:16:21,160 --> 00:16:24,480
Speaker 3: challenged Piezapia today to get on the board at some

356
00:16:24,640 --> 00:16:29,120
Speaker 3: point this season. And just as a little aside, I

357
00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:31,000
Speaker 3: put it out to the audience if you go on

358
00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:35,880
Speaker 3: the YouTube channel, look for the Leading Off episode on Wednesday,

359
00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:39,000
Speaker 3: so the twenty third be a part of that. Go

360
00:16:39,080 --> 00:16:43,800
Speaker 3: into the comments section and pick what the what the

361
00:16:43,840 --> 00:16:47,760
Speaker 3: odds are, what the ramifications are for Joe to get

362
00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:49,440
Speaker 3: it or not get it. So if he gets on

363
00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:51,560
Speaker 3: the board, what should happen? If he doesn't get on

364
00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:54,520
Speaker 3: the board, what happens. We ask the audience members to

365
00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:56,800
Speaker 3: go on the YouTube and comment there and that also

366

Speaker 3: gets you eligible for Nico Horner autographed that we're doing.

367
00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:02,760
Speaker 3: So it pays pays to do all that stuff, but

368

Speaker 3: check it out today. Fantasypros dot Com, slash Chat, join

369
00:17:06,359 --> 00:17:10,919
Speaker 3: the discord. Elsba Rico had also thrown in thoughts on

370
00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:13,240
Speaker 3: Strider and I want to do this because the other

371
00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:14,560
Speaker 3: thing we were going to talk about, and then we'll

372
00:17:14,600 --> 00:17:16,480
Speaker 3: just answer a few of these last questions. We're getting

373
00:17:16,520 --> 00:17:19,200
Speaker 3: out and we got our voy mctunda wants to come up.

374
00:17:19,840 --> 00:17:22,640
Speaker 3: Is we had a couple big injuries. The two biggest

375
00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:27,120
Speaker 3: art Strider, which seems to be okay, just as giant hamstrings,

376
00:17:27,160 --> 00:17:30,040
Speaker 3: it's not on our issue. But then Chris Sanchez, who

377
00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:34,800
Speaker 3: went fifty something inning our pitches, his velo was down.

378
00:17:35,359 --> 00:17:39,440
Speaker 3: But as we're recording this today, they had no expectation

379
00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:41,720
Speaker 3: there's any structural damage. They're not even going to perform

380
00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:43,880
Speaker 3: an MRI, but he is going to miss a start.

381
00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:48,080
Speaker 3: So your level of worry between Chris Sanchez and Spencer

382
00:17:48,119 --> 00:17:50,600
Speaker 3: Strider is what for Strider.

383
00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:54,040
Speaker 4: It's not too bad. They've said it's a Grade one

384
00:17:54,280 --> 00:17:56,600
Speaker 4: strain and I am very far from a doctor, but

385
00:17:56,920 --> 00:17:59,560
Speaker 4: from what I've understood, it's like a few days to

386
00:17:59,720 --> 00:18:02,880
Speaker 4: maybe a few weeks at most, So that one's not concerning,

387
00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:04,639
Speaker 4: especially because it's not the arm. Right. If it was

388
00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:07,720
Speaker 4: anything to do with his arm, oh boy, that would

389
00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:12,359
Speaker 4: have been serious. Trouble probably for Strider. With Sanchez, why

390
00:18:12,359 --> 00:18:15,040
Speaker 4: are they not just gonna do the MRI? I don't

391
00:18:15,080 --> 00:18:16,879
Speaker 4: understand it? Is it so much of it? Is it

392
00:18:16,920 --> 00:18:19,120
Speaker 4: that taxing on him? Is it that expensive? Like? What's

393
00:18:19,119 --> 00:18:21,240
Speaker 4: the reason to not do it? And why not just

394
00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:24,480
Speaker 4: make sure? Even though like he said yesterday, his quote was,

395
00:18:24,520 --> 00:18:26,760
Speaker 4: I've never felt something like that when I was pitching before.

396
00:18:27,119 --> 00:18:28,639
Speaker 4: Why would you not just do some imaging and just

397
00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:30,920
Speaker 4: make sure you're not missing something? I don't really understand

398
00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:32,560
Speaker 4: that point of view. It feels like it's kind of

399
00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:36,160
Speaker 4: the Phillies being lazy or something, which I don't necessarily

400
00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:38,760
Speaker 4: know if they are or not. But they also just

401
00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:41,040
Speaker 4: signed Jordan Romano and gave him money when there was

402
00:18:41,080 --> 00:18:42,600
Speaker 4: no real reason to when he was coming off a

403
00:18:42,600 --> 00:18:44,920
Speaker 4: bunch of injuries. So my head right now with the

404
00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:48,760
Speaker 4: Phillies is what are they doing surrounding injuries that other

405
00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:52,160
Speaker 4: teams are not? And with Sanchez, I don't know why

406
00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:53,960
Speaker 4: you wouldn't just give him the scan. That part of

407
00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:55,720
Speaker 4: it makes me worried for sure. Maybe I'm reading too

408
00:18:55,800 --> 00:18:57,480
Speaker 4: much into it, but just give him a clean bill

409
00:18:57,480 --> 00:18:59,800
Speaker 4: of health. He says he's feeling okay, But why not

410
00:18:59,840 --> 00:19:01,560
Speaker 4: just make sure well he was checked out.

411
00:19:01,640 --> 00:19:05,479
Speaker 3: The doctor looked at looked at it there internally and

412
00:19:05,600 --> 00:19:07,399
Speaker 3: just determined that there's nothing. But yeah, to be on

413
00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:09,160
Speaker 3: the safe side, it'd be nice just to go get

414
00:19:09,160 --> 00:19:12,000
Speaker 3: it checked out. But you know, I think based on it,

415
00:19:12,040 --> 00:19:14,639
Speaker 3: they felt that there were no structural issues. He feels

416
00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:16,480
Speaker 3: better today, so I think those are signs why to

417
00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:18,720
Speaker 3: move through. But again, I'm not going to disagree with you, like,

418
00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:22,640
Speaker 3: let's just be sure about it. So tiny little worry

419
00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:25,560
Speaker 3: maybe on the Crisanchez side. I'm not worried about Strider

420
00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:27,800
Speaker 3: as much. I don't like that he's hitting back the il,

421
00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:31,119
Speaker 3: but it's not an arm issue. So I'm breathing a

422
00:19:31,160 --> 00:19:35,520
Speaker 3: little bit, maybe even buying Strider. But hopefully the injuries

423
00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:38,800
Speaker 3: aren't going to keep taxing themselves up together. I hope not. Hey,

424
00:19:39,119 --> 00:19:42,720
Speaker 3: it's our boy mctund to raise hand. Let's get mctonda

425
00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:43,600
Speaker 3: on what you got brother.

426
00:19:44,560 --> 00:19:48,160
Speaker 6: A question for you there. Somebody dropped Luis Robbers in

427
00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:53,280
Speaker 6: my ten team head to head dynasty league. So right

428
00:19:53,359 --> 00:19:56,119
Speaker 6: now for center fielders, I either have him or Victor

429
00:19:56,160 --> 00:19:59,880
Speaker 6: Scott moving forward. I mean kind of Corby Carrol's had

430
00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:02,560
Speaker 6: centerfield eligibility, so they're kind of floating them there anyway.

431
00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:05,280
Speaker 3: Oh, it's one of those like left field, right field, center.

432
00:20:05,840 --> 00:20:07,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, we don't have three outfielders.

433
00:20:07,760 --> 00:20:11,359
Speaker 6: We have actual left, right and center and so, but

434
00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:14,280
Speaker 6: who do you like going forward? Luise Robert or Victor Scott.

435
00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:17,400
Speaker 3: That's a good question. It's like the question every week

436
00:20:17,560 --> 00:20:20,800
Speaker 3: it was. It's turned into different things. It was Tristan Cassis,

437
00:20:20,880 --> 00:20:23,960
Speaker 3: it turned into Luise Robert. It's kind of turning again.

438
00:20:24,320 --> 00:20:28,000
Speaker 3: But Robert continuously keeps coming up in this He's hitting

439
00:20:28,040 --> 00:20:31,240
Speaker 3: only one fifty one bunch of stolen bases, seven couple

440
00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:35,840
Speaker 3: homers to sixty seven OVP. That sucks, but it is

441
00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:38,040
Speaker 3: a profile that is very reminiscent of the player that

442
00:20:38,080 --> 00:20:40,840
Speaker 3: we know. In general, his expected batting average is like

443
00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:45,040
Speaker 3: eighty points higher. It's two thirty four. He's barreling more

444
00:20:45,080 --> 00:20:47,200
Speaker 3: than he has, he's hitting the ball as hard, he's

445
00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:50,600
Speaker 3: actually striking out less than last year. The profile screams,

446
00:20:50,760 --> 00:20:53,480
Speaker 3: this is the player that we know, and we know

447
00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:56,119
Speaker 3: there's a trade looming here. I leen Luise Robert. I

448
00:20:56,119 --> 00:20:58,679
Speaker 3: don't even lean, especially because it's keeper. It's Louise Robert.

449
00:20:58,800 --> 00:21:01,520
Speaker 3: He will be traded this off this season and it

450
00:21:01,520 --> 00:21:03,760
Speaker 3: will probably be to a much better team. And he,

451
00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:06,159
Speaker 3: unfortunately is one of these dudes that like, oh, I

452
00:21:06,200 --> 00:21:07,760
Speaker 3: only play with the White Sox, and he kind of

453
00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:09,400
Speaker 3: plays down. He's going to play up when he goes

454
00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:13,399
Speaker 3: to a bigger team. He's loud tools. This is pretty easy,

455
00:21:13,480 --> 00:21:16,520
Speaker 3: Robert for me. But it has been pretty bad so far, Arico,

456
00:21:16,760 --> 00:21:19,840
Speaker 3: what say you? Victor Scott or Luis Robert Jr.

457
00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:24,480
Speaker 4: It's probably still lou Bob, but it's not quite as

458
00:21:24,560 --> 00:21:28,040
Speaker 4: clear for me with the decision. Like Victor Scott has

459
00:21:28,080 --> 00:21:30,840
Speaker 4: been fantastic. He's sitting two ninety eight steals, he's got

460
00:21:30,840 --> 00:21:32,840
Speaker 4: a homer, and he's doing it from the bottom of

461
00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:35,399
Speaker 4: the order too. If he does find his way to

462
00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:37,159
Speaker 4: the top of the lineup, then who knows what he

463
00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:40,600
Speaker 4: could do. But Victor Scott is almost like Chandler Simpson

464
00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:42,119
Speaker 4: if he could hit for a little bit of power,

465
00:21:42,160 --> 00:21:44,639
Speaker 4: maybe not quite as much speed, but that kind of

466
00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:48,520
Speaker 4: profile is really interesting. We've seen lou Bob, whether it's

467
00:21:48,560 --> 00:21:51,320
Speaker 4: been the injuries or the disappointments and the performance like

468
00:21:51,520 --> 00:21:54,320
Speaker 4: it's been a disappointing career for him. I think things

469
00:21:54,359 --> 00:21:56,840
Speaker 4: will turn around eventually. But it's a long stretch now

470
00:21:56,840 --> 00:22:00,760
Speaker 4: where he's been, he's been pretty bad. If he gets traded,

471
00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:03,840
Speaker 4: I would hope that his attitude and everything would turn

472
00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:06,760
Speaker 4: around and his performance would follow, but I'm not necessarily

473
00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:09,520
Speaker 4: assured of that. Like I would still probably take lou Bab,

474
00:22:09,520 --> 00:22:11,320
Speaker 4: But I think this is really really close.

475
00:22:11,400 --> 00:22:15,879
Speaker 3: Personally, I'm surprised it's maybe that that close, But but

476
00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:17,800
Speaker 3: I get it. I understand. I mean, Victor Scott, there's

477
00:22:17,800 --> 00:22:19,320
Speaker 3: you know, there's a lot of big improvements this year,

478
00:22:19,359 --> 00:22:21,479
Speaker 3: the stolen bases. We just would like to see him

479
00:22:21,560 --> 00:22:24,360
Speaker 3: hitting high on the lineup again. But I guess I'm

480
00:22:24,359 --> 00:22:26,639
Speaker 3: just still a believer. Robert still only twenty seven. I

481
00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:28,400
Speaker 3: know it feels like he's like thirty two. He's only

482
00:22:28,440 --> 00:22:32,560
Speaker 3: twenty seven. The most recent trade rumors were with the Dodgers.

483
00:22:33,040 --> 00:22:35,040
Speaker 3: I really hope he can turn the career around. There

484
00:22:35,080 --> 00:22:38,119
Speaker 3: is some like just knucklehead stuff because you know, he

485
00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:40,560
Speaker 3: seems to kind of play down and and he's streaky

486
00:22:40,600 --> 00:22:43,640
Speaker 3: as well, and maybe streaky isn't like great for everybody.

487
00:22:43,680 --> 00:22:46,800
Speaker 3: Not everybody likes a streaky fantasy player. All Right, we

488
00:22:46,840 --> 00:22:48,879
Speaker 3: got some other questions in here. Let's see what is

489
00:22:48,920 --> 00:22:51,760
Speaker 3: going down. Finner says Yannier is being dropped in a

490
00:22:51,760 --> 00:22:54,040
Speaker 3: bunch of my leagues. Would you drop Austin Wells for

491
00:22:54,119 --> 00:22:55,640
Speaker 3: him in a Points league?

492
00:22:58,200 --> 00:23:00,960
Speaker 4: De Diez, I think I would. I know it's been rough,

493
00:23:01,040 --> 00:23:04,240
Speaker 4: but it's not like Wells has been so great either,

494
00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:07,120
Speaker 4: So I think I would default to where we were

495
00:23:07,119 --> 00:23:09,520
Speaker 4: before the season. I think that Houston's lineup is still

496
00:23:10,240 --> 00:23:12,480
Speaker 4: just as good, if not even better than the Yankees.

497
00:23:12,720 --> 00:23:14,760
Speaker 4: It's probably fairly close. Judge does a lot of the

498
00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:17,399
Speaker 4: heavy lifting there in New York, but I think that

499
00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:18,920
Speaker 4: I would still go with Diaz here.

500
00:23:19,560 --> 00:23:21,840
Speaker 3: I would too. It's ironic that both of those are

501
00:23:21,880 --> 00:23:23,720
Speaker 3: just like bad catchers. We had a lot of people

502
00:23:23,720 --> 00:23:26,359
Speaker 3: This is a very popular question over the last two days.

503
00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:30,919
Speaker 3: Do I drop Austin Wells for Augustin Ramirez? And you

504
00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:34,800
Speaker 3: know he's going mollistic, stolen base attempts, homers, hard to

505
00:23:34,880 --> 00:23:38,280
Speaker 3: hit balls, and it feels like it's a little bit premature.

506
00:23:38,359 --> 00:23:40,439
Speaker 3: A points league makes a lot of this different. I

507
00:23:40,440 --> 00:23:45,080
Speaker 3: think the like Wells and Ramirez or bigger strikeout threats

508
00:23:45,119 --> 00:23:47,160
Speaker 3: than the Yon ear So I would pick up Yanner

509
00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:47,760
Speaker 3: in this one.

510
00:23:48,119 --> 00:23:51,440
Speaker 4: And you're with me, Yeah, Yeah, Augustin Ramirez, though I'm

511
00:23:51,440 --> 00:23:54,040
Speaker 4: pretty excited, like the potential for the power and the speed,

512
00:23:54,160 --> 00:23:56,600
Speaker 4: if only it wasn't for the bad lineup in ballpark.

513
00:23:56,680 --> 00:23:58,960
Speaker 4: But I think I would take him over Wells. Maybe

514
00:23:58,960 --> 00:24:02,359
Speaker 4: that's me being a little bit to reactionary, but is

515
00:24:02,359 --> 00:24:04,000
Speaker 4: that crazy to take him over Wells? Right now?

516
00:24:04,480 --> 00:24:07,480
Speaker 3: Someone asked a question I said, I would probably stick Wells,

517
00:24:07,760 --> 00:24:10,080
Speaker 3: But I'm also okay, Like if it's a ten man league,

518
00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:12,560
Speaker 3: sure like Burn and churn Man, there's only like a

519
00:24:12,600 --> 00:24:16,240
Speaker 3: couple good catchers anyways. If it's a fifteen team league,

520
00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:21,359
Speaker 3: I don't know. Like I guess Ramirez is probably secured,

521
00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:23,960
Speaker 3: especially with how he's playing, but there's like some swing

522
00:24:23,960 --> 00:24:26,359
Speaker 3: and missing his game too. I'm not gonna kill anybody

523
00:24:26,440 --> 00:24:28,080
Speaker 3: that does that. I guess that would be my big thing.

524
00:24:28,160 --> 00:24:30,720
Speaker 3: You want to do that, that's fine. I probably stick

525
00:24:30,760 --> 00:24:33,480
Speaker 3: Austin Wells at the ballpark. But Wells hasn't He hasn't

526
00:24:33,480 --> 00:24:36,560
Speaker 3: really been great either. We actually had another Robert thing.

527
00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:38,439
Speaker 3: The Big Dance said, do I pick up Luis Robert

528
00:24:38,440 --> 00:24:43,840
Speaker 3: in a ten ten team? Rodo outfield is Butler Castiano's

529
00:24:43,920 --> 00:24:46,399
Speaker 3: Cheerio judge would my gut says maybe to drop one

530
00:24:46,440 --> 00:24:48,719
Speaker 3: of my closers. But I'm only leading in saves by two,

531
00:24:48,800 --> 00:24:52,160
Speaker 3: so you didn't give us who the closers are. Would

532
00:24:52,600 --> 00:24:55,600
Speaker 3: Robert versus Castianas is the only one that's close there,

533
00:24:56,280 --> 00:24:59,679
Speaker 3: and Castianis has been really good right now, ten team,

534
00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:02,600
Speaker 3: if you're not leading in saves, I don't know. I

535
00:25:02,800 --> 00:25:04,680
Speaker 3: feel like, based on what you said, you're probably gonna

536
00:25:04,720 --> 00:25:06,320
Speaker 3: not pick up Robert in this scenario.

537
00:25:07,880 --> 00:25:12,480
Speaker 4: I think it's pretty close with Castillanos. I think the

538
00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:15,119
Speaker 4: ceiling is higher, especially if if lu Bob goes to

539
00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:19,320
Speaker 4: the Dodgers, then that would change everything. As of today,

540
00:25:19,359 --> 00:25:21,480
Speaker 4: I think it's probably Castellano still though, And in the

541
00:25:21,480 --> 00:25:23,360
Speaker 4: ten team league like that, there's gonna be a lot

542
00:25:23,359 --> 00:25:25,600
Speaker 4: of options. So even if Castiano's cools off a little bit,

543
00:25:25,600 --> 00:25:27,520
Speaker 4: the fact that lou Bob's already on the waiver wire

544
00:25:27,680 --> 00:25:29,359
Speaker 4: means that there's going to be options for you.

545
00:25:29,640 --> 00:25:32,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's why, like I could do that. By the way,

546
00:25:32,080 --> 00:25:35,920
Speaker 3: his closers were Luke, Jackson, McGill, Alvarado, Munos, and Hoffman,

547
00:25:36,320 --> 00:25:38,480
Speaker 3: So it's like, could he cut one of those for Robert?

548
00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:42,360
Speaker 4: Well, yeah, you don't need five closers. That's a little excessive.

549
00:25:42,480 --> 00:25:44,760
Speaker 3: I would, and I would probably drop Luke Jackson of

550
00:25:44,760 --> 00:25:49,719
Speaker 3: all those so probably yeah, okay, so drop Luke Jackson

551
00:25:49,720 --> 00:25:53,040
Speaker 3: to pick up Robert. Then don't worry about your Castiana situation.

552
00:25:53,359 --> 00:25:59,040
Speaker 3: Bing Bang boom, landon Roup is looking good. Would you

553
00:25:59,119 --> 00:26:01,679
Speaker 3: drop Job or Nesky in a ten team head to

554
00:26:01,720 --> 00:26:02,760
Speaker 3: head points league.

555
00:26:04,480 --> 00:26:07,480
Speaker 4: I'm not as impressed with Joe, but the thing is

556
00:26:08,520 --> 00:26:11,560
Speaker 4: he's got relief, picture, eligibility, and in a points league

557
00:26:11,640 --> 00:26:14,520
Speaker 4: that's really valuable. I don't know that rape has it.

558
00:26:14,560 --> 00:26:16,320
Speaker 4: Oh no, you know what rape does have it too.

559
00:26:16,320 --> 00:26:19,960
Speaker 4: On looking at Yahoo, I would make the swap personally

560
00:26:20,600 --> 00:26:22,600
Speaker 4: landing route for Jackson Job in that situation.

561
00:26:24,680 --> 00:26:28,080
Speaker 3: Wait, you would you would go Roupe over Job?

562
00:26:29,400 --> 00:26:30,600
Speaker 4: I would, Yeah, I would.

563
00:26:31,800 --> 00:26:34,920
Speaker 3: I don't think I would. Like he's super interesting right now,

564
00:26:35,320 --> 00:26:38,159
Speaker 3: but I'm not sure that everything is locked down. I

565
00:26:38,160 --> 00:26:41,640
Speaker 3: think it's a short leash.

566
00:26:42,119 --> 00:26:42,400
Speaker 5: I don't.

567
00:26:42,520 --> 00:26:44,160
Speaker 3: I don't. I don't think I would make that move

568
00:26:44,240 --> 00:26:45,720
Speaker 3: Like at the Job's I think it was his last

569
00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:48,320
Speaker 3: start was pretty encouraging. Was Nesky with the strikeouts? I'm

570
00:26:48,320 --> 00:26:50,280
Speaker 3: gonna stick with those two, but I guess I get it.

571
00:26:51,200 --> 00:26:53,040
Speaker 3: What was was mctime to try to get rid of me.

572
00:26:53,119 --> 00:26:55,480
Speaker 3: This is how do you not have recall announcements for

573
00:26:55,560 --> 00:26:57,680
Speaker 3: your folks that come into sub in on leading off?

574
00:26:57,680 --> 00:27:00,600
Speaker 3: Would love to see Welsh to the vacation list and

575
00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:04,040
Speaker 3: we recall Joey O from cleaning up. You want to

576
00:27:04,080 --> 00:27:04,600
Speaker 3: get rid of me?

577
00:27:05,600 --> 00:27:07,520
Speaker 4: I think he's looking for something on the I think

578
00:27:07,520 --> 00:27:10,119
Speaker 4: you want something on the blurb feed, like the MLB

579
00:27:10,200 --> 00:27:12,960
Speaker 4: account tweeting out like Chris Welsh gone to the disabled list,

580
00:27:13,040 --> 00:27:16,360
Speaker 4: Joe Rico, Oh okay, I think that's what he's looking for,

581
00:27:16,359 --> 00:27:18,200
Speaker 4: which would be kind of funny for the blurb guys

582
00:27:18,200 --> 00:27:19,040
Speaker 4: to do that, but.

583
00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:21,560
Speaker 3: That actually would be really really funny. I was like mctunda,

584
00:27:21,600 --> 00:27:23,120
Speaker 3: I thought we were boys, like everyone's trying to get

585
00:27:23,160 --> 00:27:26,680
Speaker 3: rid of negativity. But I am actually out on Friday,

586
00:27:26,720 --> 00:27:29,439
Speaker 3: So it will be the Joey and Joe show is

587
00:27:29,480 --> 00:27:32,240
Speaker 3: going down Friday's leading off. It'll be a Rico and

588
00:27:32,280 --> 00:27:35,040
Speaker 3: piece of Pia all Joe's all the time to Joe's

589
00:27:35,040 --> 00:27:38,439
Speaker 3: one show, as I will not be there. My first

590
00:27:38,640 --> 00:27:40,920
Speaker 3: non leading off episode I think of the year probably

591
00:27:40,960 --> 00:27:43,000
Speaker 3: going to be one of my only ones. Not much

592
00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:44,879
Speaker 3: on the vacation list, but that would be very funny

593
00:27:44,880 --> 00:27:50,080
Speaker 3: to have that announcement. Would you drop Ben Rice from

594
00:27:50,119 --> 00:27:53,600
Speaker 3: Marcelo Zuna? Is how we will finish this bad boy off?

595
00:27:53,760 --> 00:27:54,399
Speaker 3: What a question?

596
00:27:54,760 --> 00:27:58,120
Speaker 4: And there's got to be somebody else other than Rice, right,

597
00:27:58,160 --> 00:28:00,560
Speaker 4: There's got to be somebody. Rice has just been so good.

598
00:28:00,600 --> 00:28:02,479
Speaker 4: I get maybe in a shallow league he'd be your

599
00:28:02,520 --> 00:28:07,000
Speaker 4: only option. There's it's probably Ozuna Ozona is probably the

600
00:28:07,119 --> 00:28:10,560
Speaker 4: right decision, But dropping Ben Rice feels icky right now.

601
00:28:10,720 --> 00:28:13,240
Speaker 3: Gotta drop somebody else, dude. The game is going on

602
00:28:13,320 --> 00:28:16,600
Speaker 3: right now. We got a heavy set of games going

603
00:28:16,600 --> 00:28:19,159
Speaker 3: on as we're doing the show, probably not helping everyone

604
00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:22,600
Speaker 3: coming in. He's one for two with two runs and

605
00:28:22,640 --> 00:28:26,920
Speaker 3: an RBI. He walked, He's hitting two ninety two. He's

606
00:28:27,080 --> 00:28:31,680
Speaker 3: lead off. I mean, I just I can't I guess

607
00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:35,479
Speaker 3: in that scenario, like it's gotta be Ozuna. But like

608
00:28:35,560 --> 00:28:38,800
Speaker 3: you said, you gotta find somebody else Ben Rice is.

609
00:28:39,640 --> 00:28:43,240
Speaker 3: He's borderlining, like you can't even consider cutting him in

610
00:28:43,320 --> 00:28:45,640
Speaker 3: places I wouldn't in team leagues do make it different,

611
00:28:45,680 --> 00:28:48,480
Speaker 3: of course, but he's so good. The Yankees leadoff hitter

612
00:28:48,880 --> 00:28:50,920
Speaker 3: who's hitting almost three hundred at the end of April,

613
00:28:50,920 --> 00:28:55,520
Speaker 3: who keeps going, who has an insane hitting profile, I

614
00:28:55,600 --> 00:28:59,600
Speaker 3: just was redoing my redraft or my my ranks for

615
00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:01,880
Speaker 3: rest of season. I do them every single week here

616
00:29:01,920 --> 00:29:03,960
Speaker 3: and Fantasy Pro, so it helps some of the algorithm.

617
00:29:03,960 --> 00:29:06,600
Speaker 3: And you guys can check that out, dude. I mean

618
00:29:06,680 --> 00:29:09,560
Speaker 3: Ben Rice and Sodastrom, those guys are both like in

619
00:29:09,600 --> 00:29:11,600
Speaker 3: the top ten range. I think I put them both

620
00:29:11,720 --> 00:29:13,680
Speaker 3: in my top ten first base and rest of season.

621
00:29:13,720 --> 00:29:16,200
Speaker 3: I believe in those guys. I kind of don't have

622
00:29:16,280 --> 00:29:18,640
Speaker 3: a long term belief of like Torkolsen being in that

623
00:29:18,680 --> 00:29:22,000
Speaker 3: same camp, but those two I'm fully in on. I

624
00:29:22,040 --> 00:29:23,360
Speaker 3: just don't know how you make a move for it.

625
00:29:23,400 --> 00:29:25,080
Speaker 3: Like the same thing. What if this question was soda

626
00:29:25,120 --> 00:29:28,600
Speaker 3: Strum or Ozuna? Could you cut Sodastrum?

627
00:29:29,880 --> 00:29:33,840
Speaker 4: No, I couldn't do it. I can do it. The ballpark,

628
00:29:33,960 --> 00:29:35,720
Speaker 4: the fact that he's so much younger, the fact that

629
00:29:35,720 --> 00:29:40,080
Speaker 4: he looks so good. Ozuna's dh only I love I

630
00:29:40,080 --> 00:29:42,280
Speaker 4: mean Ozuo. I'm not gonna say I love Marcelo Zuna,

631
00:29:42,320 --> 00:29:47,080
Speaker 4: but he's a very good fantasy asset. But Tyler Soderstrom

632
00:29:47,400 --> 00:29:49,320
Speaker 4: might be a top fifty player this year, and I

633
00:29:49,360 --> 00:29:51,440
Speaker 4: don't know that we're gonna see quite those heights from

634
00:29:51,440 --> 00:29:54,120
Speaker 4: Ozuna again. We could, but this is this is the

635
00:29:54,120 --> 00:29:56,960
Speaker 4: problem with super shallow leagues. It's very hard to make

636
00:29:57,040 --> 00:29:59,440
Speaker 4: room for everybody. But if it was Sodastrom or Ozuna,

637
00:29:59,520 --> 00:30:01,000
Speaker 4: I would takes oders from there.

638
00:30:01,080 --> 00:30:04,280
Speaker 3: Well look at this els but even updated, So you

639
00:30:04,400 --> 00:30:05,959
Speaker 3: dropped Torklsen for Azuna?

640
00:30:06,040 --> 00:30:09,800
Speaker 4: Absolutely, yeah, I wouldn't. Again, I wouldn't feel great about

641
00:30:09,840 --> 00:30:13,200
Speaker 4: it because Torklesen has been fantastic.

642
00:30:12,520 --> 00:30:14,920
Speaker 3: Tork Ben rice Ozuna. What's the order for you?

643
00:30:15,840 --> 00:30:18,120
Speaker 4: It has to be it has to be Torkosen at

644
00:30:18,160 --> 00:30:20,920
Speaker 4: the bottom. It has to be. But man, Torklsen has

645
00:30:20,960 --> 00:30:23,840
Speaker 4: been great this year. Yeah, he's the number sixteen player overall,

646
00:30:23,920 --> 00:30:25,320
Speaker 4: number sixteen overall so far.

647
00:30:25,640 --> 00:30:27,040
Speaker 3: He just heard us though, by the way, he struck

648
00:30:27,040 --> 00:30:30,240
Speaker 3: out literally as we were talking, struck out swinging against

649
00:30:30,280 --> 00:30:33,000
Speaker 3: Kyle Hurt. But yes, I would drop Torkosen for Azuna

650
00:30:33,400 --> 00:30:35,360
Speaker 3: very last one. This is actually a good question.

651
00:30:35,720 --> 00:30:36,360
Speaker 4: Would you.

652
00:30:37,120 --> 00:30:39,040
Speaker 3: Uh Well, it's a good question because like I know

653
00:30:39,080 --> 00:30:41,200
Speaker 3: exactly what I'm doing. But if if it's out there,

654
00:30:41,200 --> 00:30:44,600
Speaker 3: people are wondering, would you drop an injured George Kirby

655
00:30:44,680 --> 00:30:46,760
Speaker 3: to pick up a Caid Smith? And the answer would be.

656
00:30:46,680 --> 00:30:52,640
Speaker 4: No, No, I wouldn't go quite that far. No, I

657
00:30:52,640 --> 00:30:53,200
Speaker 4: couldn't do it.

658
00:30:53,400 --> 00:30:53,880
Speaker 3: He's close.

659
00:30:54,320 --> 00:30:56,280
Speaker 4: Base myself into it for a second, but I couldn't

660
00:30:56,280 --> 00:30:56,600
Speaker 4: make it.

661
00:30:56,960 --> 00:30:58,600
Speaker 3: As far as I'm told he had been here at

662
00:30:58,600 --> 00:31:02,480
Speaker 3: the complex, I was told he left complex. So that means,

663
00:31:02,640 --> 00:31:05,360
Speaker 3: you know, he's in a state where it's really getting close.

664
00:31:05,440 --> 00:31:07,920
Speaker 3: Maybe I don't know, if he's in Seattle and he's

665
00:31:08,480 --> 00:31:10,440
Speaker 3: throwing a live session and then he's going to, like,

666
00:31:10,600 --> 00:31:13,320
Speaker 3: you know, bail out and then maybe do one rehab start.

667
00:31:13,360 --> 00:31:15,720
Speaker 3: He seems like he's very close. So it's good to

668
00:31:15,720 --> 00:31:17,520
Speaker 3: talk about Kirby here because I don't think Kirby should

669
00:31:17,520 --> 00:31:19,800
Speaker 3: go anywhere, and I think that's the most importin thing.

670
00:31:20,400 --> 00:31:23,360
Speaker 4: He corrected his message. I think he was talking Kirby Yates,

671
00:31:23,400 --> 00:31:26,240
Speaker 4: not George Kirby here. He added a little, oh yes here.

672
00:31:26,840 --> 00:31:28,480
Speaker 3: Oh well, that's a good question I would go. I

673
00:31:28,520 --> 00:31:29,920
Speaker 3: mean we kind I think we kind of answered that

674
00:31:29,920 --> 00:31:32,479
Speaker 3: we would go Kate Smith over Kirby Yates.

675
00:31:33,240 --> 00:31:35,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, Kirby doesn't even have a saved this year yet.

676
00:31:35,480 --> 00:31:37,560
Speaker 4: I mean, as much as we can dream on it,

677
00:31:37,600 --> 00:31:39,240
Speaker 4: he hasn't saved a single game for them this year,

678
00:31:39,240 --> 00:31:41,320
Speaker 4: and Kate Smith already has a couple even with class

679
00:31:41,320 --> 00:31:42,840
Speaker 4: A being around the whole time so far.

680
00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:47,080
Speaker 3: So you know, no, sorry, I'm sorry, I cut you off.

681
00:31:47,160 --> 00:31:47,520
Speaker 3: Keep going.

682
00:31:48,320 --> 00:31:49,880
Speaker 4: No, No, I'm just gonna say, like, Kate Smith as

683
00:31:49,880 --> 00:31:53,800
Speaker 4: a pitcher is in my opinion, much better than Kirby Yates,

684
00:31:53,840 --> 00:31:55,720
Speaker 4: even if we're just like getting rid of the whole

685
00:31:55,760 --> 00:31:57,800
Speaker 4: save thought, but then you're also adding in that Smith

686
00:31:57,840 --> 00:32:00,000
Speaker 4: is in a much better position to get saves right now.

687
00:32:00,160 --> 00:32:01,080
Speaker 4: I think it's got to be him.

688
00:32:01,280 --> 00:32:04,400
Speaker 3: I was thinking about draft time where it was like

689
00:32:04,400 --> 00:32:06,760
Speaker 3: like how crazy people were going with Kirby Gates even

690
00:32:06,800 --> 00:32:09,080
Speaker 3: when Tanner Scott was there, and like Kirby Gates was

691
00:32:09,080 --> 00:32:11,160
Speaker 3: being drafted like really high, and it was like, I

692
00:32:11,240 --> 00:32:13,080
Speaker 3: don't think so, I don't think this is the way

693
00:32:13,080 --> 00:32:14,840
Speaker 3: to go. And he's you know, he's being put in

694
00:32:14,880 --> 00:32:17,400
Speaker 3: leverage situations but he's not there. But Kid Smith would

695
00:32:17,400 --> 00:32:22,920
Speaker 3: definitely definitely be the answer. Friends. If you guys want more, well,
