1
00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:03,199
Speaker 1: Welcome in everybody to Fantasy Pros. This is the Fantasy

2
00:00:03,480 --> 00:00:07,520
Speaker 1: Baseball Podcast. It is me, Joey Pa Joe Pisapia and

3
00:00:07,680 --> 00:00:10,640
Speaker 1: with me back again as my boy, the Welsh, Chris

4
00:00:10,720 --> 00:00:14,520
Speaker 1: Welsh returning. It's January. You know what that means. It's

5
00:00:14,560 --> 00:00:17,600
Speaker 1: time to turn the page. We're talking baseball now. We're

6
00:00:17,600 --> 00:00:19,680
Speaker 1: gonna talk about the top fifty guys and the ranks

7
00:00:19,680 --> 00:00:23,200
Speaker 1: over Fantasy pros in the ECR. Welsh has done his ranks.

8
00:00:23,480 --> 00:00:26,400
Speaker 1: I've done mine. It's very early. Guys are still signing.

9
00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:28,560
Speaker 1: Carlos Carea could have three or more teams you could

10
00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:30,120
Speaker 1: try to sign with before the end of the show.

11
00:00:30,440 --> 00:00:32,440
Speaker 1: But no, he's actually gonna be a twin. It looks

12
00:00:32,479 --> 00:00:35,240
Speaker 1: like as we're recording this, so Welsh. It's great to

13
00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:38,040
Speaker 1: see her face. It's great to be back talking baseball

14
00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:41,320
Speaker 1: with you. Are you ready for twenty twenty three? Baby?

15
00:00:41,560 --> 00:00:42,280
Speaker 2: Oh?

16
00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:42,760
Speaker 1: Am?

17
00:00:42,800 --> 00:00:44,440
Speaker 2: I ready? Are you ready?

18
00:00:44,440 --> 00:00:44,720
Speaker 1: Buddy?

19
00:00:44,760 --> 00:00:46,840
Speaker 2: I mean I've got the transition, you got the crazy

20
00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:50,360
Speaker 2: football transition. I've been doing football obviously, but it is

21
00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:54,000
Speaker 2: full time fantasy fantasy. Joe's on the football side, but

22
00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:55,720
Speaker 2: now you're coming. You're comeing too, baseball with me. Which

23
00:00:55,720 --> 00:00:57,760
Speaker 2: I'm excited about, which you were just talking about ranks,

24
00:00:58,080 --> 00:01:01,920
Speaker 2: and my only anxiety is like, oh my god, I'm

25
00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:04,319
Speaker 2: already gonna have to go and change Carlos Korea. And

26
00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:07,399
Speaker 2: then we just got news broke about Trevor's story as well,

27
00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:11,840
Speaker 2: having a UCLA ucl surgery UCLA u SEL surgery that's

28
00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:15,000
Speaker 2: gonna leave him out four to six months, which might

29
00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:17,600
Speaker 2: push him post All Star breaks. This is another player

30
00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:21,720
Speaker 2: at also a really garbage position that we're gonna take

31
00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:22,839
Speaker 2: off the board, really glad.

32
00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:25,119
Speaker 1: I updated the Black Book for Carl's Korea a couple

33
00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:28,240
Speaker 1: hours ago before this I saw now I did. I

34
00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:29,800
Speaker 1: was like, well, I gotta go do it again, so

35
00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:33,319
Speaker 1: I'll update this, rewrite some things there, and then this happens.

36
00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:34,679
Speaker 1: So now I'm gonna have to go back tomorrow and

37
00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:36,319
Speaker 1: do some more. But I'm gonna I'm just got talk

38
00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:39,880
Speaker 1: baseball now. Enough of that. More injuries I'm sure to come.

39
00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:42,440
Speaker 1: But we've got a fresh slate, a new start, and

40
00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:44,080
Speaker 1: we're gonna talk about the top fifty. We're gonna break

41
00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:47,360
Speaker 1: down these tiers. Let's start at the top one through ten,

42
00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:49,240
Speaker 1: and we're gonna talk about these guys. Give you our

43
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:51,960
Speaker 1: opinions here maybe who's too high, who's too low, who

44
00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:53,760
Speaker 1: should be in the top ten, who's not. Before we

45
00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:56,960
Speaker 1: do just reminder not only his baseball season open for

46
00:01:57,000 --> 00:01:59,080
Speaker 1: business here, but it's also open for business and Fantasy

47
00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:03,000
Speaker 1: pros because the Draft Wizard is now open for business.

48
00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:05,520
Speaker 1: That's right. You can go there and start doing mock drafts.

49
00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:07,440
Speaker 1: I got a B plus online yesterday. I did my

50
00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:09,560
Speaker 1: first one of the year. I'll take the B plus.

51
00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:11,720
Speaker 1: It was pretty good. Got a lot of Joe guys.

52
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:13,920
Speaker 2: And now you know, i'd say, do we have it

53
00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:16,560
Speaker 2: yet where the analysts are on did you love your

54
00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:17,080
Speaker 2: own draft?

55
00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:18,919
Speaker 1: Or you know what? I didn't even see if I'm

56
00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:21,440
Speaker 1: sure I did. If anybody loves my own drafts, it's me.

57
00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:24,040
Speaker 1: You're right, I should go back and see who graded

58
00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:27,000
Speaker 1: me how. But look, you can spend five minutes, ten minutes,

00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:46,519
Speaker 1: telling you, I love the Draft Wizard. Welsh loves the

67
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:48,799
Speaker 1: Draft Wizard. It's a great way to start getting prepared

68
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:51,040
Speaker 1: for the season. To go check that out. Let's also

69
00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:55,320
Speaker 1: check out these top dogs. The consensus number one, it's

70
00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:58,120
Speaker 1: Trey Turner of the now Philadelphia Phillies. So he has

71
00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:02,040
Speaker 1: come to Philadelphia. Bryce Harper, we'll see sometime this season.

72
00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:04,560
Speaker 1: We'll see Aaron Judge is at the two spot. Julio

73
00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:07,920
Speaker 1: Rodriguez is at three, Jose Ramirez at four, Ron Laconi

74
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:11,040
Speaker 1: at five, Kyle Tucker at six, Juan Soto at seven,

75
00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:14,120
Speaker 1: Jordan Alvarez or Jordan Alvarez, I have to call him

76
00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:18,320
Speaker 1: by his name now his number eight, Mookie Betts is nine,

77
00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:21,120
Speaker 1: and Vlad Guerrero at ten. Welsh, you and I have

78
00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:24,240
Speaker 1: a different number one. You have Ronald Acunia. So do

79
00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:26,720
Speaker 1: I let's talk about it, because Trey Turner is up

80
00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:29,920
Speaker 1: at the top. Why is not Ronald Acunia that guy?

81
00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:32,639
Speaker 1: Why is the consensus early on Trey Turner instead?

82
00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:34,520
Speaker 2: Well, you know, it's really interesting, and to throw this

83
00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:37,640
Speaker 2: out as well, just to give some perspective. I know

84
00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:40,960
Speaker 2: this isn't everything. There's also NFBC Drafts out there, which

85
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:44,920
Speaker 2: has really probably created all of the ADP, but it's

86
00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:46,240
Speaker 2: a different game. It's a little bit of a different

87
00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:47,960
Speaker 2: game than a lot of the consumer stuff we're going

88
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:51,480
Speaker 2: to be playing. I did a sorting of Draft Champions,

89
00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:53,720
Speaker 2: which is probably a better way to look Draft Champions

90
00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:56,560
Speaker 2: twenty one drafts have happened so far since December first,

91
00:03:56,840 --> 00:03:59,240
Speaker 2: and check this out. Trey Turner is the number one

92
00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:01,760
Speaker 2: overall player again, so that if you really want to

93
00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:03,920
Speaker 2: find the consensus, I think we're kind of on the

94
00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:06,520
Speaker 2: consensus at Fantasy Pros with what's going on over there.

95
00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:11,480
Speaker 2: But the next four are not the same. Ronald Dacunya

96
00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:15,360
Speaker 2: is number two over on NFBC on the Draft Champions,

97
00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:19,440
Speaker 2: Julio's three, Jose Ramirez is four, and Aaron Judge is five.

98
00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:22,040
Speaker 2: So I'm bringing that all in to say that I

99
00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:24,760
Speaker 2: think what you've got with Ronald 'cuoney right now is

100
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:27,600
Speaker 2: you've got a little bit of depressed power from last year,

101
00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:29,919
Speaker 2: and you've also got an injury, and then you're gonna

102
00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:33,760
Speaker 2: pair that with some crazy performances, and you've got Jose Ramirez,

103
00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:36,479
Speaker 2: who I think justified to be in this conversation because

104
00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:40,440
Speaker 2: you're getting elite stolen bases and really consistent production four

105
00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:42,480
Speaker 2: straight years I think of twenty twenty or even twenty

106
00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:44,680
Speaker 2: five to twenty five, and it's at a position that

107
00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:46,560
Speaker 2: kind of stinks, and you get the stolen bases. Aaron

108
00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:49,920
Speaker 2: Judge lop off twenty percent of his production and he's

109
00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:52,240
Speaker 2: still probably one of the number one Fantasy overall players,

110
00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:55,320
Speaker 2: and he steals, and then Julio Rodriguez with his elite steals,

111
00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:58,400
Speaker 2: So like, what's the common denominator here? It steals. It's

112
00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:01,159
Speaker 2: all the steals. So why is Zacunya coming back down

113
00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:05,000
Speaker 2: when his savant page is as red as red? It's

114
00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:08,240
Speaker 2: the red scene. It's still everything it was before. And

115
00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:10,880
Speaker 2: what did he do in the meantime when the power

116
00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:13,039
Speaker 2: was a little bit suppressed coming off of injury? Is

117
00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:14,920
Speaker 2: he just stolen the lead amount of basis? I think

118
00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:15,840
Speaker 2: he was still fourth in.

119
00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:20,880
Speaker 1: Baseball nineteen games, and while that was supposed to be,

120
00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:23,440
Speaker 1: like he's coming off knee surgery, so maybe this sole

121
00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:27,360
Speaker 1: base will be down. Literally we talked about everybody thought

122
00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:28,880
Speaker 1: would be the case, and it wasn't the case. At

123
00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:31,440
Speaker 1: all Acuni is my one turner two and then I've

124
00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:34,160
Speaker 1: got Julio three too. So it's funny how we see

125
00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:36,920
Speaker 1: things in a different light necessarily than the early consensus.

126
00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:41,400
Speaker 1: But I mean with a more time removed from that injury. Look,

127
00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:43,640
Speaker 1: you know, obviously, Coul you have played in the postseason two,

128
00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:45,320
Speaker 1: so a little bit more tread on the tires, and

129
00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:48,159
Speaker 1: then you know, maybe some other players coming off injury.

130
00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:50,680
Speaker 1: But regardless, I'm kind of where you are, Like, I

131
00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:52,280
Speaker 1: think he is that combination of those things and not

132
00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:54,680
Speaker 1: a knock on tray turner if you are in a

133
00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:57,799
Speaker 1: three active outfielder league and the supposed to five. Sure,

134
00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:00,840
Speaker 1: I can understand that because you get the flexibility of

135
00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:02,840
Speaker 1: that too. Plus I like the ballpark factor too, a

136
00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:05,200
Speaker 1: little bit easier place to hit home runs a Dodger Stadium.

137
00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:07,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I just want to I want to add

138
00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:09,559
Speaker 2: like outfield is kind of a big key here as well,

139
00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:10,640
Speaker 2: and I just want to.

140
00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:12,000
Speaker 1: Throw out here, by the way, can we just.

141
00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:15,040
Speaker 2: It's one of my big issues that I'm going to

142
00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:16,599
Speaker 2: be dealing with, but you know, just the thing to

143
00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:19,000
Speaker 2: add lastly, when we're looking at it, you still had

144
00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:22,239
Speaker 2: top percent markers even though the power was down fifteen homers,

145
00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:23,760
Speaker 2: a lot less than you would have wanted to see

146
00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:26,400
Speaker 2: in normal years. I'm not looking at where his ISO was,

147
00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:28,080
Speaker 2: I don't have it, but I think his slugging was down.

148
00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:31,800
Speaker 2: But you've got a top two percent max ev top

149
00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:35,279
Speaker 2: eight percent in x slug and expected slugging top five

150
00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:38,720
Speaker 2: percent and expected wOBA wobacan top five percent. Hard hit

151
00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:39,599
Speaker 2: was top eight percent.

152
00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:41,920
Speaker 1: So like some of them going Wolbacon by the way,

153
00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:46,640
Speaker 1: great and it's going to be right. I'm dressing up

154
00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:48,200
Speaker 1: as a swinging strike rate, you.

155
00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:50,520
Speaker 2: Dressed up as a baseball, you drive as a baseball drift.

156
00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:54,080
Speaker 2: It's a big min that's exactly right. But my whole

157
00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:57,920
Speaker 2: point is is like the the stats weren't exactly there,

158
00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:00,479
Speaker 2: but all the underlying stuff is still there. With a

159
00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:03,159
Speaker 2: great team in a great ballpark, the factors are there.

160
00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:05,039
Speaker 2: I'm still with Ronald Lacunya, and you get him at

161
00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:06,560
Speaker 2: a deal. And it's actually kind of why I really

162
00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:09,040
Speaker 2: love that fourth pick in drafts right now, because it

163
00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:12,120
Speaker 2: allows you one of elite, these elite players to kind

164
00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:14,480
Speaker 2: of drop and then you get to make the decision

165
00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:16,560
Speaker 2: a little bit like maybe you're getting Judge, maybe're getting Hulio,

166
00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:19,160
Speaker 2: maybe you're getting Acuna. Any of those work Turner and

167
00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:21,840
Speaker 2: Ramirez obviously makes sense. But yeah, I think the guy

168
00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:23,680
Speaker 2: to focus on here is Akunya because you and I

169
00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:25,440
Speaker 2: have met one and he shows up at five on

170
00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:27,720
Speaker 2: the consensus rank, and I one one hundred percent believe

171
00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:30,040
Speaker 2: that will change over the next two or three months

172
00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:31,920
Speaker 2: and at least two months, and you're going to see

173
00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:34,680
Speaker 2: him jump up to maybe at three on consensus, but

174
00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:35,840
Speaker 2: he might not push one.

175
00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:37,760
Speaker 1: Real quick too. Kyle Tucker, I think one of the

176
00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:39,760
Speaker 1: guys is going to benefit some of the most from

177
00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:43,240
Speaker 1: the shift banning or changing modification whenever you want to

178
00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:45,840
Speaker 1: call it. Corey Seger another guy too, probably the most

179
00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:49,840
Speaker 1: guy to be helped from that shift change concept. I

180
00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:52,160
Speaker 1: look one, so to what seven is a great value?

181
00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:55,440
Speaker 1: Love this? Jose Ramirez is my early guy for MVP

182
00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:57,080
Speaker 1: this year. We're go to talk more about that as

183
00:07:57,120 --> 00:07:59,800
Speaker 1: we go. Lots to talk about there, because I do

184
00:07:59,840 --> 00:08:01,880
Speaker 1: think go Tani does get traded this year, so that's

185
00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:05,080
Speaker 1: going to make things really real lacky and wonky when

186
00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:07,160
Speaker 1: we get to that point. But look, I don't have

187
00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:08,680
Speaker 1: much of a problem with the top ten Actually, this

188
00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:11,000
Speaker 1: is a really solid top ten. I love that my

189
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:14,040
Speaker 1: boy Alvarez is in there. I think Glad should be

190
00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:16,040
Speaker 1: in there. The only question is we get to that

191
00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:18,560
Speaker 1: next year, the eleventh or twenty. We start with Otani

192
00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:20,760
Speaker 1: at eleven. If you're in a league where you get

193
00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:23,120
Speaker 1: the two players in one, especially in a points league,

194
00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:26,440
Speaker 1: head to head, oh, Tani's a number one player, period,

195
00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:29,320
Speaker 1: end of story. Like it's not close, so's.

196
00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:31,360
Speaker 2: And that's my pretty adjustment, and that's my problem with it,

197
00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:33,960
Speaker 2: and that's why my focal point on this group of

198
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:38,000
Speaker 2: ten is Showho Tani that we have to talk about

199
00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:39,559
Speaker 2: him in like four different ways. You got to talk

200
00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:43,400
Speaker 2: about his hitter only as pitcher, only as dual weekly

201
00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:47,280
Speaker 2: and dual daily, So dual daily, he's the number one

202
00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:54,400
Speaker 2: player in every format, points, head to head, roto dynasty, keeper, redraft.

203
00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:57,000
Speaker 2: It doesn't matter. He's the number one player. You and

204
00:08:57,080 --> 00:09:00,280
Speaker 2: I famously last year were obnoxious about Otani and how

205
00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:02,840
Speaker 2: he didn't win the titles and everything, but it is

206
00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:04,600
Speaker 2: what it is. He's a number one player in there.

207
00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:07,200
Speaker 2: Now you take away and he's a dual eligible player

208
00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:11,480
Speaker 2: in weekly leagues, that's tougher because he's probably primarily a hitter.

209
00:09:11,559 --> 00:09:14,319
Speaker 2: He's almost just a straight up hitter in that format.

210
00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:16,640
Speaker 2: And this is where I still think he's inside the

211
00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:19,200
Speaker 2: top ten. Though I still think even in that format

212
00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:21,040
Speaker 2: he's in the top ten. You can make adjustments, you

213
00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:23,720
Speaker 2: get the pitching edge. As a hitter, he's still an

214
00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:27,720
Speaker 2: insanely crazy high performer of thirty plus homers, double digitsole

215
00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:30,960
Speaker 2: and bases. The team is definitely looking to be better.

216
00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:34,600
Speaker 2: You're gonna have Anthony Rayn dooneback. They brought in Hunter Renfro. Yeah,

217
00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:37,200
Speaker 2: they just brought some more pieces into maybe offensively help.

218
00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:41,960
Speaker 2: And then when he's a sole eligible player, which at

219
00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:43,719
Speaker 2: this point I think is just like Yahoo, maybe there's

220
00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:46,720
Speaker 2: another one. This is where that's tough because Otani is

221
00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:50,160
Speaker 2: probably like between fifteen and twenty at SP at best,

222
00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:53,320
Speaker 2: and then hitter he's probably you know, he's util lonely.

223
00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:54,640
Speaker 2: That's the thing that holds him back. If he was

224
00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:57,360
Speaker 2: like an outfielder, if he was outfield and sp eligible,

225
00:09:57,760 --> 00:10:01,320
Speaker 2: the weekly would even move up. But only does drop

226
00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:02,920
Speaker 2: you just a tiny bit. But still as a hitter,

227
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:05,280
Speaker 2: he's a top two round player. I just think that

228
00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:07,720
Speaker 2: you got to focus here because this is the one

229
00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:09,480
Speaker 2: player that is not traded equal. And I know like

230
00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:11,319
Speaker 2: points and head to head changes, but this is a

231
00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:13,560
Speaker 2: player that can go from number one overall down to

232
00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:15,679
Speaker 2: even in the late twenties if he's just a pitcher

233
00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:16,439
Speaker 2: or something like that.

234
00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:20,480
Speaker 1: But yeplayer variance depending on you know what where he is.

235
00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:23,600
Speaker 1: And again, the push I'm making is looking at the division,

236
00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:27,800
Speaker 1: seeing what the Texas Rangers did this offseason, seeing what

237
00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:30,200
Speaker 1: the Astros still are, seeing what the Mariners, I still

238
00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:32,720
Speaker 1: believe are and I think they're the fourth best team

239
00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:34,320
Speaker 1: in this division at best. And I just don't think

240
00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:35,560
Speaker 1: that's gonna be good enough at the end of the day.

241
00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:38,360
Speaker 1: And I think that's why the early market for Oton's

242
00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:40,240
Speaker 1: gonna be fastening, because you're gonna looking at teams who

243
00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:43,120
Speaker 1: can afford to make that kind of move, who have

244
00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:46,719
Speaker 1: the prospects to get it done, because you could get

245
00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:49,840
Speaker 1: the most enormous haul for prospects maybe we've ever seen

246
00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:52,280
Speaker 1: for a guy like shoey Otani, because it's one thing

247
00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:53,880
Speaker 1: to add a big picture of the deadline. It's a

248
00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:55,640
Speaker 1: nothing to add a big hitter, it's nothing to add

249
00:10:55,679 --> 00:10:58,360
Speaker 1: both with one player. It's something we've never seen in

250
00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:00,680
Speaker 1: our lifetimes. Happen, and I think it's gonna happen this

251
00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:02,640
Speaker 1: year because I think the Angels once again are going

252
00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:05,440
Speaker 1: to be irrelevant when push comes to show.

253
00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:08,480
Speaker 2: The interesting thing about that, though, I think there's a

254
00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:11,160
Speaker 2: lot of different sides to it. Like they've they've made

255
00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:12,920
Speaker 2: their push, this is the best thing Angels can do

256
00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:15,080
Speaker 2: with the money that they've spent and screwed up. Also,

257
00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:18,239
Speaker 2: by the way, well, and that's that's.

258
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:18,520
Speaker 1: What it comes to.

259
00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:20,960
Speaker 2: Like they brought in, they traded for renfro and then

260
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:23,400
Speaker 2: they bring in Tyler Anderson, and they get rin doone

261
00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:25,320
Speaker 2: back and they get to trying to put the pieces together.

262
00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:27,680
Speaker 2: If they don't win, I actually kind of agree if

263
00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:29,959
Speaker 2: they've done all of that, they really do need to

264
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:32,240
Speaker 2: look at themselves and say, can we bring him back?

265
00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:34,040
Speaker 2: And do we just need to retool this. Here's my

266
00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:36,400
Speaker 2: only problem. I don't even know if the Mets. I mean,

267
00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:38,880
Speaker 2: there are other organizations that could have better Hall Mets happened.

268
00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:40,440
Speaker 2: I don't know if the Mets, well, I just don't

269
00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:42,560
Speaker 2: know if they do. I mean, Francisco Alvarez would be

270
00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:45,440
Speaker 2: the key piece, one of the biggest guys to it,

271
00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:48,400
Speaker 2: But where else are they going to go, they don't

272
00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:49,360
Speaker 2: treat well.

273
00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:51,720
Speaker 1: Do you think it's a Do you think it's a

274
00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:54,480
Speaker 1: surprise that they went out and got another catcher, had

275
00:11:54,559 --> 00:11:55,439
Speaker 1: more catcher depth.

276
00:11:55,280 --> 00:11:57,520
Speaker 2: This year with no, I don't mean yeah, well, I

277
00:11:57,559 --> 00:12:00,680
Speaker 2: mean Alvarez was in the rumored stuff with with one

278
00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:01,840
Speaker 2: Soto and that never ended up.

279
00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:03,800
Speaker 1: Well, well, I mean it is. But I think at

280
00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:05,960
Speaker 1: the end of the day, the Angels, more than any team,

281
00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:09,640
Speaker 1: need to restock the organization and they can't let Atani walk.

282
00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:11,000
Speaker 1: But let me, this is gonna be a topic. I'm

283
00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:13,439
Speaker 1: sure for many many shows to come, we're gonna talk

284
00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:15,080
Speaker 1: about this. Let's talk about the rest of the guys

285
00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:18,040
Speaker 1: eleven through twenty. In the next tier, we've got after

286
00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:21,480
Speaker 1: Otani eleven, Freddie Freeman at twelve, Bobby Wood Junior, What

287
00:12:21,559 --> 00:12:24,640
Speaker 1: a great season he had. We were right to be

288
00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:26,880
Speaker 1: as bullish as we were. Did it get off to

289
00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:31,760
Speaker 1: a dubious start? Yes? Did my boy close? You sure? Did?

290
00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:32,120
Speaker 2: You?

291
00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:36,120
Speaker 1: Sure? Did? Bobby Wood Junior looking fantastic. Corbyn Burns at fourteen,

292
00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:38,480
Speaker 1: great spot there, followed by Garrett Cole at fifteen, by

293
00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:41,200
Speaker 1: Trout at sixteen. Bobash had seventeen many Mischado at eighteen,

294
00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:44,560
Speaker 1: Raphaeld Devers staying put in Boston. That's at nineteen, at

295
00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:46,960
Speaker 1: Pete a Lonzo at twenty. Again love this. I liked

296
00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:49,800
Speaker 1: that Burns is ahead. I think that's all the guy

297
00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:52,640
Speaker 1: that could possibly be on the move this year Burns

298
00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:54,440
Speaker 1: and Cole makes sense to me? Is top fifteen? You

299
00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:58,000
Speaker 1: know me, I don't love these top pitchers going early

300
00:12:58,040 --> 00:13:00,920
Speaker 1: for them. That's not where I am with well Fantasy

301
00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:03,280
Speaker 1: baseball right now. But what are your thoughts on those

302
00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:05,760
Speaker 1: guys there? And what are your thoughts also about Bobby

303
00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:08,439
Speaker 1: Witt being a top fifteen player this year already in

304
00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:08,920
Speaker 1: the ranks.

305
00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:10,719
Speaker 2: Well, here's a couple things I want to point out.

306
00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:13,560
Speaker 2: First off, how insane is it that this is maybe

307
00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:15,160
Speaker 2: one of the first years we've ever seen that you

308
00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:16,880
Speaker 2: don't see in the consistent rank there's not a pitcher

309
00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:20,079
Speaker 2: inside the top ten or for twelve. Well, but it's

310
00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:21,920
Speaker 2: always the thing that happens. I think Roto is going

311
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:23,760
Speaker 2: to push these guys up. I have that same order.

312
00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:25,880
Speaker 2: I've got Burns and Cole, and I've got them not

313
00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:28,439
Speaker 2: inside the top twelve. I might have. I mean, I

314
00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:30,719
Speaker 2: guess technically in a fifteen team, Roto both of them

315
00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:32,960
Speaker 2: do touch the first round if you're not looking at twelve.

316
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:35,440
Speaker 2: But I think that's the general range. I will probably

317
00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:38,600
Speaker 2: have zero point zero shares of those guys at that cost.

318
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:42,720
Speaker 2: I'm going to be predominantly hit or hitter in my drafts,

319
00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:44,760
Speaker 2: and Bobby Witt at this cost would be someone I'm

320
00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:47,160
Speaker 2: one hundred percent taking a look at. The funny thing

321
00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:49,720
Speaker 2: about it is Wit is going at an insanely different

322
00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:53,640
Speaker 2: costs than NFBC drafts in the Draft Champions seven, So

323
00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:57,760
Speaker 2: draft and rank is going to be something really interesting

324
00:13:57,760 --> 00:14:00,960
Speaker 2: to follow. NFBC drafts also are a lot more upside

325
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:02,959
Speaker 2: you're chasing stolen bases, so I'm not I'm not a

326
00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:04,800
Speaker 2: surprised to see him there, but I got a hard

327
00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:07,319
Speaker 2: time looking at like Bobby Witt over you know some

328
00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:10,439
Speaker 2: really key veterans. So seven is way too high over

329
00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:11,400
Speaker 2: right now?

330
00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:12,240
Speaker 1: Do you think that's wrong?

331
00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:14,160
Speaker 2: See don't. I don't know if I agree with that

332
00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:16,760
Speaker 2: right now. Like I'm into Bobby WIT's progression, but I

333
00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:19,080
Speaker 2: think Bobaschett is underrated right now, and I think that's

334
00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:22,880
Speaker 2: a really tough pill to swallow, taking Wit over Boshett.

335
00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:25,240
Speaker 2: If you're looking for consistency, but you got to take

336
00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:27,680
Speaker 2: your shots in some places either way. Man, I think

337
00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:29,520
Speaker 2: this is a great spot for when you're looking for

338
00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:32,160
Speaker 2: twenty five plus stolen bases with an uptick in power,

339
00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:34,520
Speaker 2: which Bobby Witt can do. It's just a team context

340
00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:36,760
Speaker 2: sucks and if you look at where can I get

341
00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:40,840
Speaker 2: more runs in RBI, if you compare Baschett and Bobby Witt,

342
00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:43,440
Speaker 2: maybe you get more stolen bases with Bobby. You could

343
00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:45,560
Speaker 2: easily get more homers with Bishett. But you also have

344
00:14:45,560 --> 00:14:49,160
Speaker 2: a better run and RBI opportunity with the Blue Jays

345
00:14:49,160 --> 00:14:50,400
Speaker 2: than you do with the Royals. So I think they're

346
00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:52,640
Speaker 2: really close. But I'm in with Bobby Witt. No would

347
00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:55,000
Speaker 2: one hundred percent taken? Would you say it was seventeen sixteen?

348
00:14:55,520 --> 00:14:56,680
Speaker 1: He is at thirteen right now?

349
00:14:56,720 --> 00:14:57,680
Speaker 2: Or at thirteen okay?

350
00:14:57,720 --> 00:14:59,960
Speaker 1: Yes, which I think there's a chance that he might

351
00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:02,320
Speaker 1: crack top ten at some point because I do think

352
00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:03,960
Speaker 1: they're gonna look at the stone bases and look at

353
00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:06,120
Speaker 1: the deficit in that category, and people like you said

354
00:15:06,520 --> 00:15:09,080
Speaker 1: was gonna push And I don't know if it's wrong,

355
00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:10,960
Speaker 1: but I love him right where he is right now.

356
00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:13,520
Speaker 1: I think that's perfect. I'm concerned it's gonna move up.

357
00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:14,920
Speaker 1: We'll see, we'll see what happened.

358
00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:17,280
Speaker 2: Well in the NFBC drafts. His his high pick was

359
00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:20,080
Speaker 2: five and his low pick was ten, so he never

360
00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:21,040
Speaker 2: went below ten.

361
00:15:21,280 --> 00:15:24,480
Speaker 1: And that's why I believe when people start seeing that

362
00:15:24,480 --> 00:15:26,400
Speaker 1: that will push up because of the stone bases. And

363
00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:29,360
Speaker 1: I think that early indicator is one that look, if

364
00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:31,880
Speaker 1: you're doing early best ball drafts right now, you're getting

365
00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:35,040
Speaker 1: a value on Bobby wid do it take it now

366
00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:37,440
Speaker 1: because it ain't gonna be there in six weeks. It's

367
00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:39,720
Speaker 1: is not going to be there the rest of these guys.

368
00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:42,800
Speaker 1: Like I said, another no problems here. I think he

369
00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:46,880
Speaker 1: did a tremendous value here with these corner guys, with Machado, Devers,

370
00:15:46,920 --> 00:15:48,480
Speaker 1: and Alonzo at the end of this tier and the

371
00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:51,400
Speaker 1: tops one in eighteen nineteen to twenty Mike Trout at sixteen.

372
00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:52,360
Speaker 1: Does that feel right to you?

373
00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:56,160
Speaker 2: I mean it feels right in that like I'm gonna

374
00:15:56,160 --> 00:15:58,840
Speaker 2: take him. I'm going to think in general range one

375
00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:02,280
Speaker 2: hundred percent. So yeah, I think it's about the general spot.

376
00:16:02,360 --> 00:16:05,800
Speaker 2: I actually think the like mid second round is pretty sweet.

377
00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:07,760
Speaker 2: You said those three corner in I mean I think

378
00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:09,920
Speaker 2: you said Machado Endeavors, but you gotta throw Austin Riley

379
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:12,520
Speaker 2: in there as well. You throw him those guys in there.

380
00:16:12,560 --> 00:16:14,520
Speaker 2: You have Mike Trout, you've got some of those pitchers.

381
00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:16,360
Speaker 2: I think the mid second round is really nice. That's

382
00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:19,120
Speaker 2: also why remember I said I like that fourth pick,

383
00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:21,120
Speaker 2: maybe even if you want to go five, because then

384
00:16:21,160 --> 00:16:23,480
Speaker 2: that turnaround, you've got a legit shot at one of

385
00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:25,280
Speaker 2: those pitchers. You've got a legit shot at one of

386
00:16:25,320 --> 00:16:27,840
Speaker 2: those corner infielders. Third base is not deep this year.

387
00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:31,680
Speaker 2: You could theoretically get a Kune at five and then

388
00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:35,240
Speaker 2: Rafael Devers in the second round. That's a bonker start.

389
00:16:35,320 --> 00:16:37,240
Speaker 2: That's a bonker start to your draft. And then you

390
00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:38,560
Speaker 2: can touch pitching a little bit later.

391
00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:41,800
Speaker 1: Well, I think in the season long formats, look, you

392
00:16:41,840 --> 00:16:44,320
Speaker 1: take whatever one hundred games you can get out of

393
00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:46,520
Speaker 1: Mike Trout. It's great. You know, you had forty bombs

394
00:16:46,560 --> 00:16:48,840
Speaker 1: last year and one hundred and eighteen games whatever it was.

395
00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:51,560
Speaker 1: But at the same time, those head to head formats,

396
00:16:51,560 --> 00:16:53,160
Speaker 1: you got to really think long and hard about that

397
00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:55,920
Speaker 1: because one hundred and eighteen games, thirty six games, fifty

398
00:16:55,960 --> 00:16:57,720
Speaker 1: three games, one hundred and thirty four games, one hundred

399
00:16:57,720 --> 00:17:00,240
Speaker 1: and forty games, one hundred and fourteen game, Like I'm

400
00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:03,120
Speaker 1: literally giving just going backwards here, like those head to

401
00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:05,920
Speaker 1: head matches where we don't have that premium player. It's

402
00:17:05,960 --> 00:17:09,200
Speaker 1: a tough investment. It is a great point though, too,

403
00:17:09,600 --> 00:17:12,040
Speaker 1: to make as you go into the second tier, these

404
00:17:12,080 --> 00:17:14,960
Speaker 1: eleven through twenty guys, it's a really good year for

405
00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:18,560
Speaker 1: salary cap draft formats because there's some really good value

406
00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:19,960
Speaker 1: here where you don't have to pay for the very

407
00:17:19,960 --> 00:17:21,560
Speaker 1: top of the board guys. We can get some real

408
00:17:21,600 --> 00:17:24,240
Speaker 1: premium talent here in this next tier and get like

409
00:17:24,280 --> 00:17:26,280
Speaker 1: two or three guys supposed to just maybe one of

410
00:17:26,320 --> 00:17:29,800
Speaker 1: the big guys there. Next grouping twenty one through thirty,

411
00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:32,400
Speaker 1: we start with Sandy al Contrac coming off a fantastic season,

412
00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:36,480
Speaker 1: Cy young Worthy, then Fernando Tettis Junior starting point this

413
00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:39,399
Speaker 1: year twenty two. Remember that, because it ain't going to

414
00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:41,080
Speaker 1: be there in a month from now. It's not going

415
00:17:41,119 --> 00:17:44,399
Speaker 1: to be there. Fernando Tettis Junior at twenty two, Austin Riley,

416
00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:47,040
Speaker 1: who you mentioned before, at twenty three, Paul Goldschman at

417
00:17:47,080 --> 00:17:50,600
Speaker 1: twenty four, then Edwin Diaz at twenty five, going ahead

418
00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:54,240
Speaker 1: of Jacob de Gram at twenty six, Francisco Lindor twenty seven,

419
00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:57,240
Speaker 1: who I personally think is being undervalued here at this ranking,

420
00:17:57,560 --> 00:18:01,000
Speaker 1: Jose Altuve at twenty eight, Michael Harris who had himself

421
00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:02,720
Speaker 1: a heck of a season at twenty nine, and Dylan

422
00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:05,320
Speaker 1: Season at thirty. So this is where things start to

423
00:18:05,359 --> 00:18:08,320
Speaker 1: open up for interpretation. We gotta start with Tatis junior

424
00:18:08,560 --> 00:18:10,480
Speaker 1: because this is the wildcard guy. He could be a

425
00:18:10,560 --> 00:18:13,080
Speaker 1: league winner for you or he could be another year

426
00:18:13,160 --> 00:18:18,920
Speaker 1: of massive disappointment. I know you are the dice rolland

427
00:18:19,760 --> 00:18:22,920
Speaker 1: wheeling and deal in high flying Byron Buckston drafting kind

428
00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:25,520
Speaker 1: of guy. So how do you feel about Fernando Tetis

429
00:18:25,640 --> 00:18:26,360
Speaker 1: Junior this year?

430
00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:31,119
Speaker 2: You know what's a surprise you is I'm probably not

431
00:18:31,119 --> 00:18:32,880
Speaker 2: gonna have a lot of Tatis, And you are right.

432
00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:37,960
Speaker 2: I'm a limousine riding jeff Lyon jet Lyon son of

433
00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:41,560
Speaker 2: a Gun that'll draft the Buckston's and I listen, Tatis's

434
00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:44,240
Speaker 2: projections are nuts. There are still nuts, and he's gonna

435
00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:46,000
Speaker 2: miss a month. He's gonna miss a month of the season,

436
00:18:46,359 --> 00:18:48,720
Speaker 2: and he's still got you know, I think it's like

437
00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:52,439
Speaker 2: close to forty homers twenty plus stolen bases. Actually, as

438
00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:54,080
Speaker 2: we're doing this, fan grafts is down, so I can't

439
00:18:54,080 --> 00:18:56,240
Speaker 2: look at the Steamer projections or it's down for me

440
00:18:56,520 --> 00:18:58,359
Speaker 2: and I can't look at it. But he's got really

441
00:18:58,359 --> 00:19:01,840
Speaker 2: crazy numbers. But I would say something I don't love

442
00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:04,040
Speaker 2: is miss games off the top of the year. I

443
00:19:04,080 --> 00:19:06,359
Speaker 2: don't like coming out the gates bad, especially with this

444
00:19:06,440 --> 00:19:09,840
Speaker 2: Hiven investment. Tatisa is already moving up and those draft

445
00:19:09,920 --> 00:19:13,760
Speaker 2: champions that I'm citing. His ADP is now eighteen, so

446
00:19:13,800 --> 00:19:16,399
Speaker 2: he's now inside the top twenty. His high pick is

447
00:19:16,560 --> 00:19:18,400
Speaker 2: twelve and his low pick is twenty eight.

448
00:19:18,520 --> 00:19:20,280
Speaker 1: I'll tell you there's twenty two again.

449
00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:21,399
Speaker 2: No, I agree with you.

450
00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:23,480
Speaker 1: We are not going to see that number when we

451
00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:25,399
Speaker 1: come back into a show next week. I even guarantee you.

452
00:19:25,520 --> 00:19:27,119
Speaker 2: Well, you want to know what's crazy about it is

453
00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:29,400
Speaker 2: I'm pretty he should have no issue with this. He's

454
00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:30,960
Speaker 2: be able to play spring training and then he'll just

455
00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:33,360
Speaker 2: be suspended after the fact. You know what.

456
00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:35,720
Speaker 1: I know he had like a game surgery left on

457
00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:36,240
Speaker 1: there too.

458
00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:39,399
Speaker 2: I think it's twenty. I think it's like twenty something

459
00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:41,480
Speaker 2: games left, so he's gonna miss April. He's gonna miss

460
00:19:41,560 --> 00:19:43,960
Speaker 2: essentially April, but he also had this potentially.

461
00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:47,440
Speaker 1: D L stint. You know, like that's what you're missing.

462
00:19:47,160 --> 00:19:49,240
Speaker 2: But it's significant enough. I don't like coming out the

463
00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:52,119
Speaker 2: gates missing that, and that's just something I'm a little against,

464
00:19:52,200 --> 00:19:53,919
Speaker 2: especially with the high cost when you get if he's

465
00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:55,639
Speaker 2: out in spring training in less than a month, I'm

466
00:19:55,680 --> 00:19:57,600
Speaker 2: gonna be on the backfield the first day. My plan

467
00:19:57,680 --> 00:19:59,479
Speaker 2: is to go to San Diego because I've also got

468
00:19:59,560 --> 00:20:01,480
Speaker 2: Soto and everybody there now, and i want to see

469
00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:04,359
Speaker 2: what's going on when he's there and he's looking healthy

470
00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:07,359
Speaker 2: and he's hitting with Soto and he's crushing on the backfields.

471
00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:09,159
Speaker 2: It's going to start to tick up when he's in

472
00:20:09,200 --> 00:20:11,040
Speaker 2: spring training. Hims, it's gonna tick up. It's going to

473
00:20:11,080 --> 00:20:13,240
Speaker 2: push first round LEGiT's gonna push the first round, and

474
00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:15,040
Speaker 2: we're all gonna put blinders on for the first month.

475
00:20:16,040 --> 00:20:18,320
Speaker 2: This is not going to surprise anybody. The guy that

476
00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:20,640
Speaker 2: I'm going to probably have more shares of that's in

477
00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:25,200
Speaker 2: this round and it is my jet flying limousine ride

478
00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:29,000
Speaker 2: and who is Jacob de grom No, it's crazy, I

479
00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:29,960
Speaker 2: know it's crazy.

480
00:20:30,560 --> 00:20:32,080
Speaker 1: It's gonna make you feel like we should have an

481
00:20:32,119 --> 00:20:33,120
Speaker 1: intervention right now.

482
00:20:33,320 --> 00:20:34,199
Speaker 2: I can't listen to this.

483
00:20:34,320 --> 00:20:36,640
Speaker 1: Friends don't let friends draft Jacob de Grom anymore.

484
00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:39,000
Speaker 2: Here's my big thing, here's my big thing with him.

485
00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:41,720
Speaker 2: He is And I'm not saying I'm gonna take because

486
00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:43,280
Speaker 2: this would have to be like a lad I knew.

487
00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:44,919
Speaker 1: You were going to say, I know you held it

488
00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:46,600
Speaker 1: inside my bones. I knew it.

489
00:20:46,920 --> 00:20:49,840
Speaker 2: I'm not going to I'm gonna preface this. We're gonna

490
00:20:49,840 --> 00:20:52,720
Speaker 2: talk next round. I'm not going to probably have the

491
00:20:52,760 --> 00:20:56,040
Speaker 2: shares of him in this range because of the cost

492
00:20:56,080 --> 00:20:58,920
Speaker 2: of my draft strategy, but I'm more likely to take

493
00:20:58,960 --> 00:21:02,760
Speaker 2: the risk this year because Jacob deGrom win healthy, and

494
00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:05,440
Speaker 2: that is the caveat. Is the best picture in baseball,

495
00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:09,719
Speaker 2: the projections through the roof on him, but you can't

496
00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:12,520
Speaker 2: trust it's a whole new organization, it's a whole new place.

497
00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:15,640
Speaker 2: You can put a million questions into that as well.

498
00:21:15,680 --> 00:21:18,040
Speaker 2: What offensive support does he have versus what he had

499
00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:20,520
Speaker 2: with the Mets, What defensive support? I think there's a

500
00:21:20,520 --> 00:21:24,600
Speaker 2: lot in that. But he is statistically the best pitcher

501
00:21:24,600 --> 00:21:27,240
Speaker 2: in baseball when he's out there, and that's a risk

502
00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:30,600
Speaker 2: that I'm interested in. Though the caveat is this third round,

503
00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:33,360
Speaker 2: even though I said it, I'm probably not taking him,

504
00:21:33,359 --> 00:21:35,600
Speaker 2: probably not taking Tatis or him. And I'm gonna go

505
00:21:35,640 --> 00:21:36,640
Speaker 2: with a hitter in another.

506
00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:39,000
Speaker 1: Sit hasn't thrown a hundred. Look, I don't know. Look,

507
00:21:39,440 --> 00:21:41,879
Speaker 1: the twenty twenty season was what it was. But I mean,

508
00:21:41,960 --> 00:21:45,320
Speaker 1: ninety two innings, sixty four innings. We can't. I can't

509
00:21:45,320 --> 00:21:46,639
Speaker 1: do that. You don't want to know where I have

510
00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:49,920
Speaker 1: in y rankings. I've got an I bet it's twenty something. Yeah,

511
00:21:50,160 --> 00:21:54,480
Speaker 1: because I'm just it's ridiculous. It's ridiculous. It's a terrible. Look.

512
00:21:54,520 --> 00:21:58,080
Speaker 1: Everything you said is right in theory, But I live

513
00:21:58,119 --> 00:22:00,960
Speaker 1: in a place called the real world. And in that place,

514
00:22:01,280 --> 00:22:03,440
Speaker 1: Jacob de Grom does not throw one hundred innings ever.

515
00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:06,880
Speaker 1: And and uh, not to be fooled of my old

516
00:22:07,119 --> 00:22:09,760
Speaker 1: pal Nathan Bush, God Rest his soul from West Virginia

517
00:22:09,880 --> 00:22:11,600
Speaker 1: used to say, don't get fooled by a new paint

518
00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:14,399
Speaker 1: of coat. Uh yeah, that's right, pain of coat. Because

519
00:22:14,440 --> 00:22:16,479
Speaker 1: just because now he's wearing a different uniform and he's

520
00:22:16,520 --> 00:22:18,240
Speaker 1: signed for money and so he made an investment doesn't

521
00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:20,119
Speaker 1: mean you should. And it's really not be on this

522
00:22:20,160 --> 00:22:22,000
Speaker 1: train and it's not me hating him for leaving. I

523
00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:24,880
Speaker 1: could care less about it. This is business. It's never personal.

524
00:22:24,960 --> 00:22:28,120
Speaker 1: This is just about I get de Gram as an investment.

525
00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:30,000
Speaker 1: I told you last year he terrified the heck out

526
00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:30,960
Speaker 1: of me, and I wasn't wrong.

527
00:22:31,200 --> 00:22:33,160
Speaker 2: It's it's it's something you're gonna have to stomach. It's

528
00:22:33,200 --> 00:22:34,879
Speaker 2: just here's here's the things I have a problem with.

529
00:22:35,119 --> 00:22:37,840
Speaker 2: Top one percent of k percentage, also top one percent

530
00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:41,080
Speaker 2: of walk percentage. His expected era was in the top

531
00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:43,120
Speaker 2: two percent of best in the league.

532
00:22:43,280 --> 00:22:43,520
Speaker 1: Ex.

533
00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:47,000
Speaker 2: wOBA and Whoba both were in the best three percent

534
00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:48,840
Speaker 2: of the league. As far as pictures go, he's the

535
00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:51,840
Speaker 2: best picture out there. So it's a risk best picture

536
00:22:52,040 --> 00:22:54,920
Speaker 2: not out there when you know what that's and that's

537
00:22:54,920 --> 00:22:56,840
Speaker 2: a worry right into it.

538
00:22:57,000 --> 00:22:58,439
Speaker 1: Pa, Pal, there it was.

539
00:22:58,640 --> 00:22:59,800
Speaker 2: I gave you the I think you and I are

540
00:22:59,800 --> 00:23:02,280
Speaker 2: going to disagreeing a lot of pictures because we're about

541
00:23:02,280 --> 00:23:03,879
Speaker 2: someone in the round as well. I think we're kind

542
00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:04,800
Speaker 2: of disagree a lot this year.

543
00:23:04,800 --> 00:23:06,840
Speaker 1: I can't wait. This is why I love you, and

544
00:23:06,880 --> 00:23:09,880
Speaker 1: that's why I love this show so excited. Leading off

545
00:23:09,960 --> 00:23:12,399
Speaker 1: is how many days away we ninety days away were

546
00:23:12,440 --> 00:23:15,119
Speaker 1: even there? Probably less now I don't even know. All right,

547
00:23:15,160 --> 00:23:18,160
Speaker 1: let's get to the next grouping here, thirty one through forty.

548
00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:20,119
Speaker 1: Randy arose a Rain at thirty one. What a season

549
00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:22,080
Speaker 1: he had. I remember when he started slow and people

550
00:23:22,119 --> 00:23:23,159
Speaker 1: wanted to like another guy.

551
00:23:23,040 --> 00:23:23,639
Speaker 2: That people wanted to.

552
00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:27,720
Speaker 1: Oh my goodness, people losing their mind. Just relax. Nolan

553
00:23:27,800 --> 00:23:30,920
Speaker 1: Aeronauto at thirty two. Nice value there again. How can

554
00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:33,080
Speaker 1: I not take Nolan Aeronaudo over Jcob Grom Like those

555
00:23:33,119 --> 00:23:34,960
Speaker 1: are things I just can't physically do at this point

556
00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:37,600
Speaker 1: in my life. Aaron Nola at thirty three, Brandon Woodrif,

557
00:23:37,600 --> 00:23:39,600
Speaker 1: who I do like a lot at thirty four. Are

558
00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:41,920
Speaker 1: good friend. Eric Cross has some great stats on him

559
00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:45,199
Speaker 1: recently too, he was thrown out there. Luis Robert at

560
00:23:45,240 --> 00:23:49,000
Speaker 1: thirty five, my boy on a huge value, Emmanuel Casse

561
00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:51,480
Speaker 1: at thirty six, Spencer Striyder thirty seven, who you'll be

562
00:23:51,560 --> 00:23:53,280
Speaker 1: very proud of me. I am higher on than anybody

563
00:23:53,320 --> 00:23:58,600
Speaker 1: else ooh even me rankings No, I believe, even because

564
00:23:58,920 --> 00:24:02,119
Speaker 1: he knows getting that warning whenever I publish my ranking

565
00:24:02,200 --> 00:24:05,560
Speaker 1: says you are very very high on these on Christian Hobby,

566
00:24:05,560 --> 00:24:06,479
Speaker 1: aer and Spencers.

567
00:24:06,640 --> 00:24:08,760
Speaker 2: I didn't get a warning on my Strader. I have Strider,

568
00:24:08,760 --> 00:24:10,160
Speaker 2: I believe at sp six.

569
00:24:11,600 --> 00:24:13,320
Speaker 1: Let's see where I have him. Okay, maybe you I

570
00:24:13,400 --> 00:24:14,800
Speaker 1: have Oh my god, I am at six two.

571
00:24:14,960 --> 00:24:16,640
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, look at us. We're in the state.

572
00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:20,560
Speaker 1: We're friends again. So Strider right where he should be

573
00:24:20,760 --> 00:24:24,240
Speaker 1: a great value on Luis Robert if he becomes that dude,

574
00:24:24,280 --> 00:24:26,800
Speaker 1: which I think he can be. Thirty eighth A McClanahan

575
00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:29,439
Speaker 1: thirty nine hater Marcus Simian at forty. Now, I like

576
00:24:29,520 --> 00:24:33,199
Speaker 1: mcclanahan's resk more than de Gram's ten picks later, but

577
00:24:33,960 --> 00:24:35,359
Speaker 1: I just think this is the guy. This is the

578
00:24:35,359 --> 00:24:37,560
Speaker 1: next guy headed for the next arm surgery. You know,

579
00:24:38,200 --> 00:24:39,880
Speaker 1: I sat there on the show and leading off last

580
00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:42,359
Speaker 1: summer and I told everybody ran as soon as he

581
00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:45,800
Speaker 1: went past, justin Verlander. What did I tell? I said,

582
00:24:46,040 --> 00:24:49,359
Speaker 1: everybody go reinvest in Verlander because mcclanahan's not going to

583
00:24:49,400 --> 00:24:52,200
Speaker 1: make it to finish line. He didn't, and he didn't.

584
00:24:52,600 --> 00:24:54,919
Speaker 1: But I love the player, I love the talent. The

585
00:24:54,960 --> 00:24:57,879
Speaker 1: investment's tougher, ten spots less than de Gram. I'm in,

586
00:24:58,480 --> 00:25:01,520
Speaker 1: but I'm also still very loathing consensus. So sell me

587
00:25:01,560 --> 00:25:02,679
Speaker 1: on Shane mcclatahan.

588
00:25:03,080 --> 00:25:05,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean this is one of my guys. This

589
00:25:05,320 --> 00:25:07,880
Speaker 2: is one of my big guys this year. And monster

590
00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:09,880
Speaker 2: reds across the board again, there's another one of those

591
00:25:09,880 --> 00:25:12,120
Speaker 2: guys you get on a Baseball Savant page and it's

592
00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:14,919
Speaker 2: just it's the red Sea. There's literally nothing blew across

593
00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:18,240
Speaker 2: the board from with percentage to walks and everything like

594
00:25:18,280 --> 00:25:20,119
Speaker 2: that made a big change last year. This is one

595
00:25:20,119 --> 00:25:21,800
Speaker 2: of the big things that you love to see and

596
00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:24,280
Speaker 2: you love to see the success. And really this type

597
00:25:24,280 --> 00:25:26,720
Speaker 2: of pitch is when you can maintain it, and I'm

598
00:25:26,720 --> 00:25:29,280
Speaker 2: talking about his change up that he adjusted to is

599
00:25:29,280 --> 00:25:32,400
Speaker 2: something that's very sustainable. So he lowered his slider usage

600
00:25:32,440 --> 00:25:35,080
Speaker 2: from the previous year, increased his change up usage this

601
00:25:35,119 --> 00:25:37,360
Speaker 2: past year, and he started throwing around twenty five percent.

602
00:25:37,720 --> 00:25:41,520
Speaker 2: What's amazing about it is he upped in this usage

603
00:25:41,600 --> 00:25:45,439
Speaker 2: change and he predominantly threw the change up. I believe

604
00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:46,960
Speaker 2: it was to righties and he like never threw it

605
00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:50,119
Speaker 2: against lefties. But he had a forty percent with percentage

606
00:25:50,160 --> 00:25:53,080
Speaker 2: on the change up and the slider, and that upticked

607
00:25:53,080 --> 00:25:55,520
Speaker 2: his slider percentage when he started using the change up more,

608
00:25:55,920 --> 00:25:58,399
Speaker 2: which equated to over forty percent of his pitches between

609
00:25:58,480 --> 00:26:01,920
Speaker 2: change ups. And sliders forty percent with freight on it.

610
00:26:02,080 --> 00:26:05,359
Speaker 2: His fastball. He also added some horizontal movement so he

611
00:26:05,400 --> 00:26:07,399
Speaker 2: was able to you know, dink and dunk on the

612
00:26:07,400 --> 00:26:09,120
Speaker 2: sides of the zone a little bit more. And he's

613
00:26:09,119 --> 00:26:11,040
Speaker 2: got close to a thirty percent withfth percentage on that.

614
00:26:11,720 --> 00:26:14,440
Speaker 2: This is a guy that pounds the zone. The curveball

615
00:26:14,560 --> 00:26:16,720
Speaker 2: is an what's so amazing about it is like the

616
00:26:16,760 --> 00:26:18,600
Speaker 2: curveball would seem like the big strikeout pitch, and it

617
00:26:18,640 --> 00:26:22,160
Speaker 2: gets strikeouts, but it's a great setup pitch. The curveball

618
00:26:22,160 --> 00:26:25,040
Speaker 2: I absolutely loved to set up. The fastball got better,

619
00:26:25,320 --> 00:26:29,119
Speaker 2: the change up became elite, and he's got a slider.

620
00:26:29,160 --> 00:26:30,639
Speaker 2: He's got four four I don't want to call them

621
00:26:30,680 --> 00:26:32,720
Speaker 2: four plus plus pitches, but these are four pitches that

622
00:26:32,720 --> 00:26:35,200
Speaker 2: he can pound the zone. He can get big strikeouts

623
00:26:35,240 --> 00:26:37,720
Speaker 2: on big wif percentages. And he only put up one

624
00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:40,120
Speaker 2: hundred and sixty innings last year. So how I look

625
00:26:40,160 --> 00:26:41,920
Speaker 2: at it is like I think he would for the

626
00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:43,200
Speaker 2: first half of the year, he was the best pitcher

627
00:26:43,200 --> 00:26:45,680
Speaker 2: in baseball, and then he tapered off on the second half.

628
00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:50,280
Speaker 2: It's also like, I mean, he's a young pitcher. His belt,

629
00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:52,600
Speaker 2: so I think there's progression on board here. With a

630
00:26:52,600 --> 00:26:55,760
Speaker 2: great pitch mix, he's getting strikeouts, he also pounds the zone,

631
00:26:55,800 --> 00:26:57,600
Speaker 2: doesn't have the command issues that some of these other

632
00:26:57,640 --> 00:27:02,320
Speaker 2: guys do, and every bit of underlining stats work in

633
00:27:02,400 --> 00:27:04,359
Speaker 2: his favor. Though He's not like Jacob Durrahm in the

634
00:27:04,359 --> 00:27:05,879
Speaker 2: one percent or anything like that. But he had a

635
00:27:05,880 --> 00:27:08,560
Speaker 2: five percent walk rate with a thirty percent k rate,

636
00:27:08,680 --> 00:27:11,320
Speaker 2: and I think there is more progression on the board

637
00:27:11,320 --> 00:27:13,240
Speaker 2: for him to be potentially become the number one pitcher

638
00:27:13,280 --> 00:27:15,560
Speaker 2: in baseball, maybe not this year, but over the next year,

639
00:27:15,600 --> 00:27:16,040
Speaker 2: three years.

640
00:27:16,040 --> 00:27:18,959
Speaker 1: See, you're right. For the first half he was arguably

641
00:27:18,960 --> 00:27:20,920
Speaker 1: the best pitcher in baseball, if not the best ten

642
00:27:20,960 --> 00:27:26,280
Speaker 1: and three one seven one ERA. Second half for twenty ERA, yeah,

643
00:27:26,440 --> 00:27:31,080
Speaker 1: second half certainly far more hittable than he was. The

644
00:27:31,119 --> 00:27:36,879
Speaker 1: strikeout rate also declined significantly from twelve to seven point six.

645
00:27:37,520 --> 00:27:40,960
Speaker 1: The K per nine, that's k P nine. And my

646
00:27:41,359 --> 00:27:44,800
Speaker 1: concern with McClanahan is this, Now, what we saw last

647
00:27:44,880 --> 00:27:47,439
Speaker 1: year was that fatigue? Was that an injury that happened

648
00:27:47,440 --> 00:27:49,560
Speaker 1: that we can get past, or is that the beginning

649
00:27:50,080 --> 00:27:53,000
Speaker 1: of what could be the next bomb of up Shane

650
00:27:53,040 --> 00:27:55,960
Speaker 1: mcclanaham arm surgery, and that's why he's outside my top twenty.

651
00:27:56,200 --> 00:27:58,040
Speaker 1: And I get it why people want to say.

652
00:27:57,840 --> 00:28:00,880
Speaker 2: That's your top, not twenty. Of SP's to ground.

653
00:28:00,720 --> 00:28:04,600
Speaker 1: Both because I can't get enough out of them. The

654
00:28:04,800 --> 00:28:08,720
Speaker 1: quality is great I need. I'd rather have slightly lesser

655
00:28:08,800 --> 00:28:12,080
Speaker 1: quality and get more quantity. That's where I'm at with pitching,

656
00:28:12,160 --> 00:28:13,440
Speaker 1: and we'll get more about that and we get to

657
00:28:13,480 --> 00:28:16,280
Speaker 1: our New Year's resolutions for twenty twenty three and talk

658
00:28:16,359 --> 00:28:19,080
Speaker 1: more about that. But guys like Woodriff I feel more

659
00:28:19,080 --> 00:28:21,240
Speaker 1: confident in which I know he's missed some time too,

660
00:28:21,480 --> 00:28:24,520
Speaker 1: you know Nola for his warts. At times in his

661
00:28:24,520 --> 00:28:27,760
Speaker 1: career he shows up. You know, if I'm gonna spend

662
00:28:27,800 --> 00:28:30,600
Speaker 1: on the lead pitcher, col and Burns are those two guys.

663
00:28:30,640 --> 00:28:32,840
Speaker 1: I do agree with that there's a lot of age

664
00:28:32,880 --> 00:28:34,440
Speaker 1: and that other tier two when you start to get

665
00:28:34,440 --> 00:28:36,639
Speaker 1: to the Verlander guys and the Schurzers of the world,

666
00:28:36,680 --> 00:28:39,720
Speaker 1: like the older group. But boor to come on some

667
00:28:39,760 --> 00:28:40,600
Speaker 1: of these guys because.

668
00:28:40,440 --> 00:28:42,880
Speaker 2: It's interesting and we won't get into it here, but

669
00:28:42,920 --> 00:28:45,200
Speaker 2: it's interesting to hear you go, you go. You give

670
00:28:45,240 --> 00:28:48,080
Speaker 2: Woodruff the past, but a young guy who really hasn't

671
00:28:48,080 --> 00:28:50,560
Speaker 2: had a track record of Klanahan doesn't like.

672
00:28:50,720 --> 00:28:53,720
Speaker 1: What I'm worried about was that the precursor, the drop

673
00:28:53,760 --> 00:28:56,360
Speaker 1: off and the mistime the injury. And I was like, okay,

674
00:28:56,840 --> 00:28:58,440
Speaker 1: Like are we getting to a point with him? Like

675
00:28:58,800 --> 00:29:00,800
Speaker 1: because he's so young in this a lot we've seen

676
00:29:00,840 --> 00:29:03,440
Speaker 1: these young pitchers come up tease, they look great, and

677
00:29:03,480 --> 00:29:06,000
Speaker 1: then they have the arm surgery, they have the arm issues,

678
00:29:06,040 --> 00:29:08,480
Speaker 1: and then it kind of declines. Look, Woodroff is probably

679
00:29:08,480 --> 00:29:10,680
Speaker 1: a bad example of some of those guys, but even

680
00:29:10,840 --> 00:29:13,479
Speaker 1: like ahead of those guys, and look, I know I'm

681
00:29:13,840 --> 00:29:17,000
Speaker 1: going to be much lower than consensus. Like I look

682
00:29:17,040 --> 00:29:19,000
Speaker 1: at the Kevin Gosmin's and the Minoa's and the Joe

683
00:29:19,080 --> 00:29:21,120
Speaker 1: musk Groves of the world and Zach Allens and like,

684
00:29:21,200 --> 00:29:23,239
Speaker 1: I just feel like they're better investments for where they

685
00:29:23,280 --> 00:29:26,320
Speaker 1: are and in drafts rather than me draft early pitching.

686
00:29:26,640 --> 00:29:29,720
Speaker 1: I'd rather be locking in these hitters that are in

687
00:29:29,760 --> 00:29:32,600
Speaker 1: the same I'd rather be having Nolan Aronado, I'd rather

688
00:29:32,640 --> 00:29:36,360
Speaker 1: be having the guys like who else with Austin Reiley

689
00:29:36,440 --> 00:29:37,440
Speaker 1: type like those guys that right.

690
00:29:37,840 --> 00:29:39,760
Speaker 2: That's where I one hundred percent agree with you. Like

691
00:29:40,120 --> 00:29:42,880
Speaker 2: I talked up to Grom and hopefully everybody got it

692
00:29:42,960 --> 00:29:46,400
Speaker 2: in a I would rather probably de Grom in that

693
00:29:46,480 --> 00:29:49,240
Speaker 2: late third round or late second round, late third round

694
00:29:49,280 --> 00:29:52,600
Speaker 2: or whatever it was compared to the early top twenty

695
00:29:52,640 --> 00:29:54,600
Speaker 2: one pick of datis. But I'm not gonna take them.

696
00:29:54,640 --> 00:29:56,840
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna take pictures most likely in the top

697
00:29:56,960 --> 00:29:59,840
Speaker 2: three rounds. So what's what's unique about it is Strider

698
00:29:59,880 --> 00:30:02,720
Speaker 2: and Clanahan are probably gonna be my number one pitching

699
00:30:02,720 --> 00:30:05,440
Speaker 2: targets in that late third to fourth round. If you're

700
00:30:05,440 --> 00:30:07,680
Speaker 2: in head to head, I'm gonna target on those guys.

701
00:30:07,760 --> 00:30:10,080
Speaker 2: Then I'm gonna wait again, and then I love exactly

702
00:30:10,080 --> 00:30:12,320
Speaker 2: what you said. Give me deals on Minoa, give me

703
00:30:12,360 --> 00:30:15,640
Speaker 2: deals on Kevin Gosman, give me Luis Castillo, Zach Gallan. No,

704
00:30:15,800 --> 00:30:16,800
Speaker 2: that's how I'm gonna.

705
00:30:16,560 --> 00:30:19,200
Speaker 1: Build memation Javier this year too. And you know, I'm

706
00:30:19,320 --> 00:30:22,480
Speaker 1: Harder's guy from a couple of years ago, like this is.

707
00:30:22,480 --> 00:30:24,479
Speaker 1: So this has been a long time coming here. All right,

708
00:30:24,560 --> 00:30:27,000
Speaker 1: let's close out the rankings of the top fifty, which

709
00:30:27,040 --> 00:30:29,320
Speaker 1: is what we came here to do today. Max Schurz

710
00:30:29,320 --> 00:30:31,800
Speaker 1: are at forty one, Matt Olsen at forty two, Verlander

711
00:30:31,920 --> 00:30:34,920
Speaker 1: forty three, Cedric mallin steady issue goes at forty four.

712
00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:38,280
Speaker 1: Liam Hendrix, who again this is gonna change now because

713
00:30:38,320 --> 00:30:42,480
Speaker 1: of the non Hodgkins lymphoma diagnosis, so obviously that ranking

714
00:30:42,560 --> 00:30:44,720
Speaker 1: is going to change. I came just twenty four hours ago.

715
00:30:45,320 --> 00:30:48,479
Speaker 1: Carlos Ordan forty six, Shane Bieber forty seven, Kyeg Schwarber

716
00:30:48,600 --> 00:30:52,320
Speaker 1: forty eight, Zach Wieler forty nine, and at least Garcia

717
00:30:52,560 --> 00:30:55,239
Speaker 1: at fifty. Let's talk about Garcia, another guy who had

718
00:30:55,280 --> 00:30:59,040
Speaker 1: a fantastic season last year, another guy that's got swinging

719
00:30:59,120 --> 00:31:03,600
Speaker 1: miss batting average. Obviously can fluctuate, but what he gave

720
00:31:03,640 --> 00:31:06,440
Speaker 1: you last year was phenomenal from a fantasy perspective, especially

721
00:31:06,480 --> 00:31:08,440
Speaker 1: the value he gave you. Is he still a value

722
00:31:08,840 --> 00:31:10,320
Speaker 1: in this top fifty right now for you?

723
00:31:10,520 --> 00:31:12,920
Speaker 2: Yeah? I think that's the great question that you're asking,

724
00:31:13,000 --> 00:31:14,800
Speaker 2: is is he still the value? Because the one thing

725
00:31:14,840 --> 00:31:17,760
Speaker 2: that he did that's so unique was what were we doing,

726
00:31:17,880 --> 00:31:20,880
Speaker 2: Like in pre twenty twenty two were like he can't repeat,

727
00:31:20,920 --> 00:31:23,080
Speaker 2: Like he had this great season in two thousand, we

728
00:31:23,200 --> 00:31:23,840
Speaker 2: all thought the.

729
00:31:23,800 --> 00:31:25,680
Speaker 1: Power was real. It's just we wondered could he make

730
00:31:25,760 --> 00:31:27,760
Speaker 1: enough contact to really readelivery exactly?

731
00:31:27,760 --> 00:31:29,920
Speaker 2: That wasn't going to maintain well, like it kind of did.

732
00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:30,880
Speaker 2: He had two fifty.

733
00:31:30,920 --> 00:31:31,080
Speaker 1: He was.

734
00:31:31,280 --> 00:31:33,160
Speaker 2: He was one of the few twenty five guys in

735
00:31:33,240 --> 00:31:35,720
Speaker 2: year twenty seven to twenty five better well dude. On

736
00:31:35,760 --> 00:31:39,480
Speaker 2: the underlining stats, he improved his EV his barrel percentage

737
00:31:39,480 --> 00:31:42,000
Speaker 2: just hard hit percentage went up by two percent this

738
00:31:42,040 --> 00:31:44,840
Speaker 2: past year. His XBA went up. His XBA is still

739
00:31:44,840 --> 00:31:46,440
Speaker 2: not great, but here was. Here's one of the big

740
00:31:46,480 --> 00:31:48,560
Speaker 2: things why I think you can't pass on a dolls

741
00:31:48,600 --> 00:31:52,120
Speaker 2: at this point. Adulas had an expected XBA expected batting

742
00:31:52,120 --> 00:31:54,760
Speaker 2: average in twenty twenty one of two twenty so like

743
00:31:54,840 --> 00:31:58,560
Speaker 2: he you know, way overperformed them this past year and

744
00:31:58,720 --> 00:32:01,400
Speaker 2: XBF two forty four, which was almost in line exactly

745
00:32:01,480 --> 00:32:04,400
Speaker 2: his batting average. So he's starting to stabilize a little bit,

746
00:32:04,480 --> 00:32:06,200
Speaker 2: and he's stealing bases and he's hitting home.

747
00:32:06,320 --> 00:32:10,080
Speaker 1: That's the difference to man I don't like, is huge different.

748
00:32:10,200 --> 00:32:12,520
Speaker 2: I don't like the cost, but I do like a

749
00:32:12,600 --> 00:32:15,000
Speaker 2: Doulas Garcia, and he belongs in the generator. I gotta

750
00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:16,360
Speaker 2: tell you, I don't like a lot of these players

751
00:32:16,360 --> 00:32:19,240
Speaker 2: in this forty through fifty that you listed off. There's

752
00:32:19,280 --> 00:32:20,800
Speaker 2: not many targets in here for me.

753
00:32:21,560 --> 00:32:24,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think this is the danger zone, and for me, KYLEE.

754
00:32:24,960 --> 00:32:26,920
Speaker 1: Schwarber is the biggest one of the danger zone because

755
00:32:26,920 --> 00:32:29,040
Speaker 1: I think falling into that trap of him repeating what

756
00:32:29,080 --> 00:32:32,000
Speaker 1: he did last year from a Powers perspective is is difficult.

757
00:32:32,120 --> 00:32:35,200
Speaker 1: I know it's a good ballpark for Power. I get that.

758
00:32:35,840 --> 00:32:38,240
Speaker 1: I think this is the guy that missus Bryce Harper

759
00:32:38,320 --> 00:32:41,280
Speaker 1: hitting behind him and did it hit directly behind him? No,

760
00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:43,600
Speaker 1: But you have to understand if you're a pro, you're

761
00:32:43,600 --> 00:32:45,680
Speaker 1: setting up approach as a picture right and you got

762
00:32:45,720 --> 00:32:47,320
Speaker 1: Kyleeg Schwarber at the top of the lineup. We also

763
00:32:47,360 --> 00:32:48,440
Speaker 1: have to see how that Philly line is going to

764
00:32:48,480 --> 00:32:50,800
Speaker 1: shake out now with Trey Turner too, Like, how does

765
00:32:50,840 --> 00:32:51,680
Speaker 1: that all work out?

766
00:32:51,680 --> 00:32:53,480
Speaker 2: Where is he going to hit three a schwar We're

767
00:32:53,480 --> 00:32:55,200
Speaker 2: gonna lead off, lead off?

768
00:32:55,280 --> 00:32:57,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly. So there's a lot of unknown there for

769
00:32:57,840 --> 00:33:01,800
Speaker 1: me with Schwarber right now. Yeah, great season, love the player,

770
00:33:01,960 --> 00:33:06,200
Speaker 1: love the guy personality for days, big fan, But I

771
00:33:06,200 --> 00:33:09,160
Speaker 1: don't think people will respect enough that what a difference

772
00:33:09,240 --> 00:33:10,800
Speaker 1: Bryce Harper makes in the lineup when he's in it

773
00:33:10,840 --> 00:33:12,520
Speaker 1: ways out and it's not a knock on Trey Turner

774
00:33:12,960 --> 00:33:15,560
Speaker 1: or Reez Hoskins or anybody else in that lineup, But

775
00:33:15,800 --> 00:33:17,800
Speaker 1: you pitch differently to the top of the order. When

776
00:33:17,800 --> 00:33:19,760
Speaker 1: you've got Bryce Harper waiting in the three or four spot,

777
00:33:19,840 --> 00:33:22,760
Speaker 1: you just do. And I think that's he's gonna see

778
00:33:22,800 --> 00:33:24,520
Speaker 1: less fast balls this year. He's going to see a

779
00:33:24,560 --> 00:33:28,480
Speaker 1: little bit different and look, he could very well have

780
00:33:28,800 --> 00:33:31,800
Speaker 1: overcome that. Schwerro is always a high prospect, high profile

781
00:33:31,960 --> 00:33:35,040
Speaker 1: guy that were struggles there for many years. He bounced

782
00:33:35,080 --> 00:33:37,560
Speaker 1: around a little and he had a phenomenal season And

783
00:33:37,600 --> 00:33:39,520
Speaker 1: I'm not saying he can't repeat it. I'm saying I'm

784
00:33:39,520 --> 00:33:42,240
Speaker 1: not investing as though he's going to. I think that's.

785
00:33:42,120 --> 00:33:46,000
Speaker 2: An interesting point. Looking over at the NFBC info that

786
00:33:46,040 --> 00:33:48,600
Speaker 2: they've got he has, I would say of the top

787
00:33:48,960 --> 00:33:52,680
Speaker 2: sixty five players I'm looking at, no one has a

788
00:33:52,720 --> 00:33:56,640
Speaker 2: bigger top and bottom than Calshold Right now, he's got

789
00:33:56,680 --> 00:33:59,880
Speaker 2: the thirty nine, a thirty nine high with an a

790
00:34:00,040 --> 00:34:03,920
Speaker 2: eighty six low. So here's some perspective. Some other guys

791
00:34:03,920 --> 00:34:05,800
Speaker 2: that are in this generating sures Er has a high

792
00:34:05,800 --> 00:34:07,880
Speaker 2: of thirty nine and a low of sixty three. Completely

793
00:34:07,920 --> 00:34:11,000
Speaker 2: different players, sure, but I'm giving you Cedric Mullins high

794
00:34:11,000 --> 00:34:13,440
Speaker 2: a forty one low of fifty seven. Jazz chishem high

795
00:34:13,440 --> 00:34:15,480
Speaker 2: a thirty four to fifty five. No one in that

796
00:34:15,520 --> 00:34:18,880
Speaker 2: top sixty has remotely is close of a bigger gap

797
00:34:18,920 --> 00:34:22,000
Speaker 2: between the high and low that they go than Kyle Schwarber.

798
00:34:22,160 --> 00:34:24,520
Speaker 2: And he is tough. He's a monster in points league,

799
00:34:24,520 --> 00:34:26,399
Speaker 2: which is going to want to make people push up

800
00:34:26,800 --> 00:34:29,840
Speaker 2: head to head in rodo you know the batting average

801
00:34:29,920 --> 00:34:33,239
Speaker 2: stunk and is that going to stabilize? But can the

802
00:34:33,239 --> 00:34:35,000
Speaker 2: power maintain? There's so I agree with you. There's so

803
00:34:35,080 --> 00:34:38,080
Speaker 2: many questions on him that it's a little divisive. He's

804
00:34:38,120 --> 00:34:40,400
Speaker 2: not the type of player that I want to invest in.

805
00:34:40,400 --> 00:34:42,239
Speaker 2: I don't think it's a crazy cost right now, but

806
00:34:42,640 --> 00:34:45,600
Speaker 2: between thirty nine and mid eighties is ridiculous.

807
00:34:45,960 --> 00:34:48,480
Speaker 1: I think the cost is also because of what outfield

808
00:34:48,480 --> 00:34:51,480
Speaker 1: looks like right now, which is rough. Let's be honest,

809
00:34:51,560 --> 00:34:54,080
Speaker 1: like it is a Once you get past that twenty

810
00:34:54,120 --> 00:34:56,360
Speaker 1: five thirty, it's becomes a lot of question marks and

811
00:34:56,360 --> 00:34:59,239
Speaker 1: a lot of guys. So I get it, and I

812
00:34:59,320 --> 00:35:02,359
Speaker 1: understand why still, you know, in especially the deeper outfield leagues,

813
00:35:02,360 --> 00:35:03,680
Speaker 1: where you got to make that kind of call and

814
00:35:03,719 --> 00:35:05,000
Speaker 1: you got to take the god with the bed. If

815
00:35:05,000 --> 00:35:07,880
Speaker 1: he hits two to fifteen and then he hits two fifteen,

816
00:35:07,920 --> 00:35:09,680
Speaker 1: you hope that he hits thirty five bombs or something

817
00:35:09,719 --> 00:35:12,400
Speaker 1: like that. To expect him to hit forty again, I

818
00:35:12,400 --> 00:35:15,920
Speaker 1: think is foolish. I think that's not a good practice.

819
00:35:16,080 --> 00:35:18,719
Speaker 1: But this is just the first look we're doing here.

820
00:35:18,760 --> 00:35:20,759
Speaker 1: I'm sure we're gonna do many more. This is the

821
00:35:20,800 --> 00:35:23,279
Speaker 1: top fifteen, a nutshell, our first glance at what the

822
00:35:23,320 --> 00:35:25,440
Speaker 1: ECR is at Fantasy pros. And you can see that

823
00:35:25,520 --> 00:35:28,279
Speaker 1: too fantacybros dot Com slash rankings. Go check them out

824
00:35:28,360 --> 00:35:30,960
Speaker 1: over on the MLB page. They're there for you. They're

825
00:35:31,000 --> 00:35:32,600
Speaker 1: up and they're going to be moving all over the place,

826
00:35:32,680 --> 00:35:35,480
Speaker 1: especially with the Trevor story news that broke right before

827
00:35:35,520 --> 00:35:37,959
Speaker 1: the show too, about him missing what four to six months?

828
00:35:38,000 --> 00:35:41,399
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, no big deal, no big really. Well, that's

829
00:35:41,400 --> 00:35:43,560
Speaker 1: close things out here. On a better note, though, it's

830
00:35:43,600 --> 00:35:46,960
Speaker 1: twenty twenty three, it's a fresh start, so it's time

831
00:35:47,000 --> 00:35:49,000
Speaker 1: for some New Year's resolutions. Welsh, what do you have

832
00:35:49,120 --> 00:35:49,440
Speaker 1: for us?

833
00:35:49,800 --> 00:35:52,080
Speaker 2: Well, this is a I've actually talked about this, you

834
00:35:52,360 --> 00:35:54,960
Speaker 2: just mentioned it, and my this is a Fantasy Baseball

835
00:35:55,000 --> 00:35:56,000
Speaker 2: resolution right not.

836
00:35:56,040 --> 00:35:59,080
Speaker 1: To let Yeah, enough to do, but I think it's

837
00:35:59,080 --> 00:36:00,840
Speaker 1: probably better for this shit if you do baseball.

838
00:36:00,880 --> 00:36:03,920
Speaker 2: So yeah, we could. We could do some workout videos

839
00:36:03,920 --> 00:36:05,040
Speaker 2: with Welsh. That'll be fun.

840
00:36:06,120 --> 00:36:09,600
Speaker 1: Let's see that. I mean a videos. Let's go, baby, let's.

841
00:36:09,400 --> 00:36:13,040
Speaker 2: Go, let's go. I mean from a fantasy baseball perspective,

842
00:36:13,080 --> 00:36:16,600
Speaker 2: you just mentioned it. My biggest resolution is to not

843
00:36:16,760 --> 00:36:19,359
Speaker 2: let outfield get away from me. I can't say it enough.

844
00:36:19,440 --> 00:36:21,640
Speaker 2: I said this actually on CBS not too long ago,

845
00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:25,480
Speaker 2: like this, I think in my early runs of fantasy

846
00:36:25,520 --> 00:36:28,799
Speaker 2: baseball drafts and mox and basketball and all of this

847
00:36:28,840 --> 00:36:32,040
Speaker 2: stuff that I've been doing, is outfield.

848
00:36:31,600 --> 00:36:32,640
Speaker 1: Is fool's gold.

849
00:36:32,840 --> 00:36:35,239
Speaker 2: It will fool you because you're like, oh, there's so

850
00:36:35,239 --> 00:36:38,200
Speaker 2: many more players than third base. Everyone's gonna focus on

851
00:36:38,239 --> 00:36:41,560
Speaker 2: how a stinky second basis, which it is, how third

852
00:36:41,640 --> 00:36:45,040
Speaker 2: base lacks some depth, which it does. Which starting pitching

853
00:36:45,120 --> 00:36:47,640
Speaker 2: is gonna get nuts because people are gonna wait, it'll happen.

854
00:36:48,000 --> 00:36:50,839
Speaker 2: But nothing becomes more of a problem than outfield when

855
00:36:50,880 --> 00:36:53,040
Speaker 2: you get too confident and you move past it. I've

856
00:36:53,080 --> 00:36:56,480
Speaker 2: even had drafts already where I've taken two early outfielders

857
00:36:56,719 --> 00:36:59,239
Speaker 2: and it still can get kind of bad later. You

858
00:36:59,360 --> 00:37:01,480
Speaker 2: really have to be cognizant and know where you are

859
00:37:01,520 --> 00:37:04,560
Speaker 2: in a draft based on outfield, because if you start five,

860
00:37:04,920 --> 00:37:07,080
Speaker 2: it can get real bad. If you start three. Don't

861
00:37:07,080 --> 00:37:09,560
Speaker 2: get too confident that, hey, I only start three. It

862
00:37:09,600 --> 00:37:11,879
Speaker 2: gets away from you quick. And the tier jumps are

863
00:37:12,000 --> 00:37:14,719
Speaker 2: so big this year that everyone talks about that. Those

864
00:37:14,760 --> 00:37:16,560
Speaker 2: middle the same positions we talk about every year. Oh,

865
00:37:16,560 --> 00:37:19,600
Speaker 2: second base, third base. Outfield is not as deep as

866
00:37:19,600 --> 00:37:21,480
Speaker 2: you want it to be. You're gonna have to hit

867
00:37:21,560 --> 00:37:23,920
Speaker 2: on some guys late and just make sure you don't

868
00:37:24,120 --> 00:37:25,360
Speaker 2: get two behind early.

869
00:37:26,160 --> 00:37:28,440
Speaker 1: I would say this too. I think we know this

870
00:37:28,480 --> 00:37:30,359
Speaker 1: every year. Whenever we think is the deficit ends up

871
00:37:30,360 --> 00:37:31,800
Speaker 1: being something better than we thought of. This is just

872
00:37:31,840 --> 00:37:34,000
Speaker 1: the nature of the beast. But it's definitely a deficit

873
00:37:34,040 --> 00:37:35,680
Speaker 1: early on. You got to look for some of these

874
00:37:35,719 --> 00:37:38,160
Speaker 1: young players to step up to some of these young prospects.

875
00:37:38,200 --> 00:37:40,080
Speaker 1: So the guys in Arizona step up. You gotta look

876
00:37:40,120 --> 00:37:41,759
Speaker 1: for some of the other guys. We're gonna have opportunities

877
00:37:42,160 --> 00:37:43,919
Speaker 1: or some bounce back guys too, Like does a Michael

878
00:37:43,960 --> 00:37:46,560
Speaker 1: Gonfordo bounce back? Do you get guys like Riley Green

879
00:37:46,640 --> 00:37:49,520
Speaker 1: bouncing guys? I think if those guys you know, play

880
00:37:49,600 --> 00:37:50,840
Speaker 1: up to their abilities, and all of a sudden the

881
00:37:50,840 --> 00:37:55,120
Speaker 1: outfield is better. But I will say I could not

882
00:37:55,160 --> 00:37:59,040
Speaker 1: agree more. Address it early, and address it late, and

883
00:37:59,080 --> 00:38:00,560
Speaker 1: take some shots on a lot of guys who have

884
00:38:00,600 --> 00:38:03,279
Speaker 1: potential because you're gonna need that, because it is definitely thin,

885
00:38:03,320 --> 00:38:05,600
Speaker 1: and for me, you already kind of heard it. I'm

886
00:38:05,600 --> 00:38:08,279
Speaker 1: fading some of those early big pictures again this year.

887
00:38:08,480 --> 00:38:09,960
Speaker 1: I did it last year, it worked out, but I'm

888
00:38:09,960 --> 00:38:12,520
Speaker 1: doing even more this year. I'm going for those guys

889
00:38:12,520 --> 00:38:14,960
Speaker 1: that I think are just good return on investments. The

890
00:38:15,000 --> 00:38:17,360
Speaker 1: guys in Toronto, some of the guys in Seattle, like

891
00:38:17,440 --> 00:38:20,000
Speaker 1: those pitching staffs, to me, offer some really good rois

892
00:38:20,400 --> 00:38:22,920
Speaker 1: because they're playing in the lesser markets. Let's be honest,

893
00:38:23,120 --> 00:38:25,480
Speaker 1: you play for the Yankees, You're Garrett Cole. Everyone's gonna

894
00:38:25,520 --> 00:38:29,000
Speaker 1: want drafted early. People still don't give Sandy Alcantra enough credit,

895
00:38:29,040 --> 00:38:33,000
Speaker 1: or Pablo Lopez for that standpoint, or anybody really, so

896
00:38:33,040 --> 00:38:34,719
Speaker 1: you start to look around at guys that don't get

897
00:38:34,840 --> 00:38:37,279
Speaker 1: enough credit. I'm looking for some of those pictures, those

898
00:38:37,320 --> 00:38:39,319
Speaker 1: workhorse guys, and some of the smaller market teams too,

899
00:38:39,360 --> 00:38:42,120
Speaker 1: because they get less attention. They deserve a lot more,

900
00:38:42,200 --> 00:38:44,480
Speaker 1: but I'll tell you right now. Alec Manoa, Joe Musgrove,

901
00:38:44,560 --> 00:38:46,960
Speaker 1: Zach Gallon. That is the sweet spot for me. It's

902
00:38:47,000 --> 00:38:49,920
Speaker 1: gonna be fascinating to see, you know what happens to

903
00:38:50,040 --> 00:38:52,560
Speaker 1: the top twenty pitchers this year, because last year talk

904
00:38:52,600 --> 00:38:55,640
Speaker 1: about a complete reshuffling of the board, and this year

905
00:38:55,640 --> 00:38:57,520
Speaker 1: I think it could be very similar where some of

906
00:38:57,600 --> 00:39:00,600
Speaker 1: these other names that were used to seeing continue to

907
00:39:00,680 --> 00:39:03,360
Speaker 1: fade away and make room for more guys like the

908
00:39:03,360 --> 00:39:05,279
Speaker 1: Striders and Christian Hobviers.

909
00:39:04,760 --> 00:39:05,320
Speaker 2: Of the world.

910
00:39:05,480 --> 00:39:08,080
Speaker 1: So it's great to be back, Welsh. It's great to

911
00:39:08,120 --> 00:39:11,279
Speaker 1: see you talk baseball, hang out a little bit. It's
