00:00:19,480 --> 00:00:22,880
Speaker 1: Fish Straps and Filtered Episode thirty seven, also on The

2
00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:27,040
Speaker 1: Fish on First Podcast Network. We are here joined by

3
00:00:27,040 --> 00:00:30,640
Speaker 1: Eli Sussan. I'm with my co host Isaac Zouit, and

4
00:00:30,680 --> 00:00:33,559
Speaker 1: we're just one week away from opening day as we

5
00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:36,680
Speaker 1: record this today on Thursday, March twenty third, Just one

6
00:00:36,720 --> 00:00:39,080
Speaker 1: week away until Sandye al Contra faces off against Smack

7
00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:41,440
Speaker 1: Shirts or a Low and deepa Park. One week away

8
00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:45,560
Speaker 1: till Baseball's back, So baseball officially back with regular season action.

9
00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:49,159
Speaker 1: This marks also today where we will be doing our

10
00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:51,840
Speaker 1: five Bold predictions. Each one of us have five predictions.

11
00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:54,360
Speaker 1: It could go two ways we saw us went last year,

12
00:00:54,440 --> 00:00:57,160
Speaker 1: Nazi swell for all of us. Isaac, what's up?

13
00:00:57,400 --> 00:00:58,120
Speaker 2: One week away?

14
00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:01,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's such a weird time because you know, it's

15
00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:03,440
Speaker 3: we're closing in on spring the end of spring training,

16
00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:05,560
Speaker 3: and we just finished the World Baseball Classic. So it

17
00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:08,800
Speaker 3: just feels a little strange, stranger than it has felt

18
00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:11,640
Speaker 3: in years past at this point. But I'm very excited.

19
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:15,160
Speaker 3: Seven days away from opening day Lone Depot Park. It's

20
00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:17,920
Speaker 3: got to be one of the most hyped up opening

21
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:20,319
Speaker 3: days in a while. You got those Suicide Young Award winners,

22
00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:21,960
Speaker 3: you got the two batting champs. It's going to be

23
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:24,520
Speaker 3: a lot of fun. So I recommend everyone head out

24
00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:25,880
Speaker 3: to Miami for that one.

25
00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:29,959
Speaker 4: Yeah, just to like it's coming up and tell me

26
00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:31,959
Speaker 4: downs for opening day. Now, I've I've already made my

27
00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:33,360
Speaker 4: trip down there and I enjoyed it very much. To

28
00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:36,240
Speaker 4: get both the spring training and WBC that worked out

29
00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:39,840
Speaker 4: very well. And just to reiterate what Kevin mentioned it

30
00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:42,840
Speaker 4: when you see the top right corner in the opposite

31
00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:45,039
Speaker 4: direction right there on the top corner and Fish on

32
00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:50,160
Speaker 4: First logo, we rebranded the podcast channel. It's still everything

33
00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:52,280
Speaker 4: you want from our Fish Shires people. If you've previously

34
00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:54,560
Speaker 4: subscribed to it, you are still subscribed to it, you

35
00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:56,720
Speaker 4: just need to look out for the new logo and

36
00:01:56,840 --> 00:02:00,800
Speaker 4: it's everything there still on YouTube. We have a playlist

37
00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:03,160
Speaker 4: for now, a fish on First playlist to keep it

38
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:07,000
Speaker 4: all organized. It's everything that you've already been getting from us,

39
00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:10,160
Speaker 4: just with a slightly different design, slightly different name. So

40
00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:12,400
Speaker 4: I hope if anybody's confused about that, they can always

41
00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:16,400
Speaker 4: contact us for clarification. We keep rolling and this, as

42
00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:18,680
Speaker 4: you mentioned, this is an exercise the three of us

43
00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:22,400
Speaker 4: did together last year. It went pretty badly especially for me.

44
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:26,680
Speaker 4: Me in particular, I really had some overly ambitious ideas

45
00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:29,040
Speaker 4: about what Sixto was going to do, about what Avi

46
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:31,399
Speaker 4: was going to do, and so I've stayed away from

47
00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:34,760
Speaker 4: both of those players in this edition of my predictions

48
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:37,520
Speaker 4: as a bit of a spoiler. So I am ready

49
00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:39,720
Speaker 4: to turn the page on that. Thank you again for

50
00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:43,120
Speaker 4: bring me on for this one so that we can

51
00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:44,360
Speaker 4: give it another try.

52
00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:46,120
Speaker 2: Yep.

53
00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:49,560
Speaker 1: So before we start with that Craig mission, Barry Jackson

54
00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:53,920
Speaker 1: dropped their phenomenal article sharing the latest on the Marlins.

55
00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:56,519
Speaker 1: Not much on this one, but I mean, I guess

56
00:02:56,560 --> 00:02:58,920
Speaker 1: the biggest news was kind of the roster moves that

57
00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:01,760
Speaker 1: we could be seeing. They want to keep both the

58
00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:05,520
Speaker 1: La Cruz and Sanchez on the twenty six. It'll be

59
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:08,919
Speaker 1: between Uli and Jose Glacias to see who gets a

60
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:11,240
Speaker 1: roster spot, and I think that's I think where we're

61
00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:14,720
Speaker 1: gonna aim to. Both Juli and Jose Glaciers were basically

62
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:17,120
Speaker 1: signed on the same day, just a couple hours after

63
00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:20,160
Speaker 1: when Yuli was signing, Glaciers was signed, or even a

64
00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:23,960
Speaker 1: couple of minutes after. They've both struggled, but we've seen

65
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:27,160
Speaker 1: some really nice plays at first from Yuli Guariel and

66
00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:30,280
Speaker 1: we've seen some you know, good stuff for me Glaciers,

67
00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:32,640
Speaker 1: I guess we could say, And this, I guess is

68
00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:34,600
Speaker 1: kind of the debate we'll start with and before we

69
00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:39,040
Speaker 1: go into a five both predictions, Isaac, Juli or Jose Glacias,

70
00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:41,160
Speaker 1: who do you think should be on that opening day roster?

71
00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:43,440
Speaker 1: As much as I would like know if there has

72
00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:45,360
Speaker 1: to be one that we choose here so.

73
00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:48,120
Speaker 3: That we're recording this on March twenty third, two days

74
00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:51,680
Speaker 3: away from when they can decide to opt out, if

75
00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:54,720
Speaker 3: I have that correct, So according to the report, Miami

76
00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:57,119
Speaker 3: will have to go with just one or the other.

77
00:03:57,760 --> 00:04:00,480
Speaker 3: In my opinion, you gotta go with you know, you

78
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:03,000
Speaker 3: don't have many first basement in this whole organization. I

79
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:05,480
Speaker 3: think you got to stick with the go glove winner,

80
00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:07,440
Speaker 3: the batting champ from a couple of years ago, Yuli

81
00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:08,640
Speaker 3: Gurriel and this team.

82
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:11,800
Speaker 5: Oh to pitch hit hard on the ground. Germyel has

83
00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:14,560
Speaker 5: it to his right and underhand toss the alcontra covering

84
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:17,599
Speaker 5: at the bag. That's a beautiful play by Yuli Gurriel,

85
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:21,040
Speaker 5: so I can line drive it's caught by Guryell. At first,

86
00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:26,159
Speaker 5: I don't know caught that baseball or the baseball caught him.

87
00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:28,279
Speaker 3: I do like Iglesias, and I think you'd be the

88
00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:31,159
Speaker 3: perfect withatwon option with Joey Wendell. But I do believe

89
00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:33,360
Speaker 3: that they have enough less out of the infield death

90
00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:37,000
Speaker 3: that they could sort of patch their way through the

91
00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:39,760
Speaker 3: season with you know, Exavier Edwards and Jacob Amaya and

92
00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:42,560
Speaker 3: Jordan Groschen's if need be. And I know Joey Wendall's

93
00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:44,479
Speaker 3: had a horrible spring. I think he's four for thirty

94
00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:47,279
Speaker 3: four something along those lines, so it would be tough.

95
00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:49,520
Speaker 3: I do like Iglesia's hit tool, I like his fielding

96
00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:51,920
Speaker 3: a lot better than Wendel's. But I do think that

97
00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:54,320
Speaker 3: Guriel would be the perfect late inning defensive replacement at

98
00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:57,000
Speaker 3: first base. And also you're not losing much offensively when

99
00:04:57,000 --> 00:04:59,240
Speaker 3: it comes to you know, replacing Cooper with him. Obviously

100
00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:01,320
Speaker 3: are losing a little bit, but not an insane amount

101
00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:04,200
Speaker 3: where it would be a horrific first base you know,

102
00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:06,800
Speaker 3: defensive replacements sort of like what Miguel Rojas would do

103
00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:10,120
Speaker 3: back in the day for Justin Bohrer. So yeah, I

104
00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:12,960
Speaker 3: would lean towards keeping Gariel on the roster because you

105
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:15,000
Speaker 3: could you could always use the extra power as well.

106
00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:17,320
Speaker 2: You want to go next to e line.

107
00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:20,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, Well, the easy cop out here is say why

108
00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:22,520
Speaker 4: not keep both of them? Because that is more a

109
00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:25,520
Speaker 4: better possibility than you might think. To be clear about

110
00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:28,640
Speaker 4: their contracts, they have the ability to opt out on Saturday,

111
00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:32,440
Speaker 4: but they also have extra opt outs later in the

112
00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:34,800
Speaker 4: year if they choose to, like wait and see, there's

113
00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:37,640
Speaker 4: another one on May first, and one after that on

114
00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:40,440
Speaker 4: June first. For both of these guys, it's because of

115
00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:42,320
Speaker 4: where they are in their careers. They each have over

116
00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:45,280
Speaker 4: six years of major league service time. This is now

117
00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:48,640
Speaker 4: a new standard for veteran major league free agents who

118
00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:51,360
Speaker 4: get minor league deals is they have the system where

119
00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:53,800
Speaker 4: you could opt out right before the season starts, or

120
00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:55,880
Speaker 4: a couple of times early in the season if things

121
00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:58,400
Speaker 4: aren't going the way that you want to. I think

122
00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:00,760
Speaker 4: the best scenario would be picking one the two to

123
00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:03,920
Speaker 4: get onto the active roster and then persuading the other

124
00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:07,599
Speaker 4: one to stick around extended spring training with maybe a

125
00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:09,880
Speaker 4: brief triple A rehab assignment in the middle, and just

126
00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:12,760
Speaker 4: have them stand by for those first few weeks in

127
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:17,039
Speaker 4: the season until if, and pretty likely when somebody gets

128
00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:19,840
Speaker 4: hurt or somebody really struggles out of the gate, then

129
00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:22,760
Speaker 4: you would need them. That'd be the dream is keeping

130
00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:25,120
Speaker 4: both of them around and getting the second one up

131
00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:30,080
Speaker 4: there when you eventually need them. Realistically, you know, if

132
00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:35,240
Speaker 4: you have to choose, I went towards Iglesias, considering the

133
00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:39,000
Speaker 4: more for his position. He might not actually be the

134
00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:41,480
Speaker 4: better defender. He might be like a league average shortstop,

135
00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:44,280
Speaker 4: whereas Guriel, from what we've seen and for what he's done,

136
00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:47,279
Speaker 4: he's probably an above average first baseman. It's just that

137
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:51,000
Speaker 4: average defense at shortstop is more valuable than first base.

138
00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:54,200
Speaker 4: Also because the Glaciers can contribute at seconds or even

139
00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:56,760
Speaker 4: at third if you need him to. That versatility is

140
00:06:56,839 --> 00:07:02,520
Speaker 4: really important. He's several years younger than so I think

141
00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:07,160
Speaker 4: that it makes me as closely removed as Guriel is

142
00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:10,520
Speaker 4: to being an awesome player just two seasons ago, being

143
00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:13,520
Speaker 4: great for the Astros on an everyday basis with an

144
00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:17,880
Speaker 4: ops in the eight hundreds. It's when you reached a

145
00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:22,440
Speaker 4: certain stage of your career, it becomes way less likely

146
00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:25,520
Speaker 4: that you'll bounce back and revert to who you used

147
00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:27,920
Speaker 4: to be. And from what I've seen in a really

148
00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:32,600
Speaker 4: small sample of him, offensively this spring. He looks washed

149
00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:36,200
Speaker 4: up at least offensively. I just I don't see where

150
00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:39,640
Speaker 4: that forget home run power. I don't see where the

151
00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:44,120
Speaker 4: extra base power is in there anymore. I just think

152
00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:47,120
Speaker 4: it's really unlikely. Despite how recently removed he is from

153
00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:50,320
Speaker 4: being great in twenty twenty one, I think the likelihood

154
00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:54,960
Speaker 4: of him being that player is really really low for

155
00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:57,720
Speaker 4: the fact that he you can only trust them so

156
00:07:57,840 --> 00:08:00,400
Speaker 4: much at first base. I believe at this point it's

157
00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:02,120
Speaker 4: a different story if you think he could fake it

158
00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:05,080
Speaker 4: at those other infield positions. But they haven't even experimented

159
00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:07,000
Speaker 4: with that in spring games to this point, which I

160
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:10,480
Speaker 4: think shows you how they really feel about him at

161
00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:12,880
Speaker 4: this stage. And even as a base runner, I Thinkglesias

162
00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:14,760
Speaker 4: has a little bit more upside if you look at

163
00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:18,520
Speaker 4: his measurables, like he's still above average as a sprinter,

164
00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:20,680
Speaker 4: even though he hasn't been stealing basis. That's the one

165
00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:23,680
Speaker 4: thing that I talked to him about when I was

166
00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:26,080
Speaker 4: actually there the day that they were introduced, is how

167
00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:30,120
Speaker 4: with the rule changes that several of them that encourage

168
00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:34,200
Speaker 4: more base stealing, more efficient based stealing. He seems kind

169
00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:36,719
Speaker 4: of optimistic that he would be able to impact the

170
00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:38,680
Speaker 4: game more as a base runner than he has the

171
00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:42,920
Speaker 4: last few years. So all that being said, yeah, I

172
00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:45,520
Speaker 4: just leaned towards the guy that is more versatile and

173
00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:49,960
Speaker 4: valuable defensively and one that both of them good bats

174
00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:54,200
Speaker 4: of ball qualities. Ultimately, this makes a lot of sense

175
00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:56,280
Speaker 4: to me if they were willing to play Luisa Rise

176
00:08:56,400 --> 00:08:59,280
Speaker 4: as the backup first baseman. The reason why it's compelling

177
00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:01,800
Speaker 4: to keep Careella round is because their first base depth

178
00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:06,040
Speaker 4: is pretty poor if you exclude Arise. I don't know

179
00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:08,600
Speaker 4: why they're excluding Arise as a first base option. He

180
00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:11,000
Speaker 4: played it primarily there last year. He just played it

181
00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:14,719
Speaker 4: in the WBC for Venezuela. I think that's the best

182
00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:18,239
Speaker 4: possible team they can put together, is having having Iglesias

183
00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:23,280
Speaker 4: on there, having Arise play first base pretty frequently when

184
00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:27,280
Speaker 4: Cooper doesn't, and and Guriel being out.

185
00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:27,680
Speaker 3: Of the picture.

186
00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:30,839
Speaker 4: If he sticks Rounds in triple A, great. So that's

187
00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:33,560
Speaker 4: the best version of the team, and it really is

188
00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:36,400
Speaker 4: difficult to solve this if they're not willing to play

189
00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:38,480
Speaker 4: Arise at first base, and that's I think where we are.

190
00:09:38,679 --> 00:09:40,480
Speaker 4: That's the reason why this is a tough decision because

191
00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:44,280
Speaker 4: they're stubborn or because they're catering to what Arise wants

192
00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:47,800
Speaker 4: is an everyday second baseman. That's what makes this really complicated.

193
00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:50,120
Speaker 4: So I have a lot of trouble predicting what they're

194
00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:52,320
Speaker 4: going to do, but to me, what they should do

195
00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:53,079
Speaker 4: is pretty clear.

196
00:09:55,360 --> 00:10:00,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, you would love to have a Julie's defense,

197
00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:03,160
Speaker 1: which has looked really good so far. At first, I mean,

198
00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:05,080
Speaker 1: he's made a couple nice plays, and then he would

199
00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:08,920
Speaker 1: obviously love to have Iglasi's phenomenal contact hitting. This guy's

200
00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:11,440
Speaker 1: been hitting three hundred and two ninety these past couple

201
00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:14,079
Speaker 1: of seasons, and you know, you may see the course

202
00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:16,160
Speaker 1: field effect, but he's been hitting better. He hit better

203
00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:18,920
Speaker 1: away than at home last year. So and you know

204
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:21,040
Speaker 1: the other thing with the platoon that Isaac benjams with

205
00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:23,480
Speaker 1: Wendell and he Glas he glacis it's lefties a lot

206
00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:26,520
Speaker 1: better than Wendell does. Wendell was really bad against lefties

207
00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:29,160
Speaker 1: last year, but Wendell was better against the Riety's and

208
00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:32,680
Speaker 1: that's kind of where you see the platoon offensively. Defensively,

209
00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:34,720
Speaker 1: you could probably make the case that he glazes his

210
00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:38,839
Speaker 1: league average. As Eli mentioned, Wendell still yet to be seen.

211
00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:39,920
Speaker 2: I mean he has I.

212
00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:42,720
Speaker 1: Don't think he's made an error this thus far in

213
00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:46,760
Speaker 1: spring training, so we'll see what happens. But personally, I

214
00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:49,679
Speaker 1: think I would go with Iglesias, just think the better

215
00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:52,719
Speaker 1: hitter overall at this stage in his career. He's been

216
00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:55,600
Speaker 1: doing this at a very consistent rate and every major

217
00:10:55,679 --> 00:10:59,120
Speaker 1: league ballpark so far that he's played in, so and

218
00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:01,200
Speaker 1: then he Glacier and Yulie, you just kind of hope

219
00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:04,600
Speaker 1: he bounces back. And I mean, these guys did SIGND

220
00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:07,319
Speaker 1: very very late into the spring and through spring training,

221
00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:09,400
Speaker 1: so kind of makes sense to see one of them

222
00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:12,080
Speaker 1: go through the extended spring training, maybe even a couple

223
00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:15,440
Speaker 1: starts at Triple A, like Eli mentioned, And you hope

224
00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:18,800
Speaker 1: they stay because you know these guys didn't you You

225
00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:21,040
Speaker 1: would think they signed knowing that at some point they

226
00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:23,679
Speaker 1: would be on the major league ross. You're not, because

227
00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:25,880
Speaker 1: I know Yeulie had interest from the Twins and the

228
00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:28,959
Speaker 1: Astros would have liked to bring him back, and you

229
00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:30,920
Speaker 1: would assume that he signed Miami and at one point

230
00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:33,120
Speaker 1: he would be on the major league rosters. So I

231
00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:36,920
Speaker 1: think it's time we go with our bold predictions. Maybe

232
00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:40,040
Speaker 1: something too bold. But so how we're gonna do this

233
00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:43,679
Speaker 1: is all of us are gonna have five. We'll go

234
00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:45,920
Speaker 1: from how we did this last year. We want Isaac

235
00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:48,120
Speaker 1: Eli myself, so we'll do it like that this year

236
00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:52,600
Speaker 1: and once again and yeah, just five each, kind of

237
00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:55,440
Speaker 1: a quick one to two minute conversation on each.

238
00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:57,800
Speaker 2: And just to have this run as fast as possible.

239
00:11:57,800 --> 00:12:00,640
Speaker 2: All right, Isaac take it away.

240
00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:05,240
Speaker 3: Okay, last year, does anyone, off the top of their head,

241
00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:06,360
Speaker 3: remember what my first one was?

242
00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:06,880
Speaker 2: Last year?

243
00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:09,680
Speaker 1: It was Lozardo would be second in anings.

244
00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:13,000
Speaker 3: Pitched that didn't go too well, right, No, not at all?

245
00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:13,440
Speaker 2: He pitched.

246
00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:18,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, all right, well I have one regarding Blizardo. I'll

247
00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:20,120
Speaker 3: use that later. My first one is gonna be a

248
00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:21,760
Speaker 3: bullpen one. I have a couple of bullpen ones, and

249
00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:27,520
Speaker 3: then mine is gonna be that Guascar Brasovaan saves over

250
00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:31,560
Speaker 3: twenty five games. I think that. I know there's so

251
00:12:31,679 --> 00:12:35,240
Speaker 3: much more competition in the ninth andan. He got Matt Barnes,

252
00:12:35,280 --> 00:12:37,600
Speaker 3: you got a J. Puck, you got Tanner Scott who

253
00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:40,480
Speaker 3: was there last year, and you got Dylan Floro. But

254
00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:42,520
Speaker 3: I do think I love the way Brosbon is on

255
00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:44,960
Speaker 3: the ball. This spring like. Absolutely, he's looked phenomenal, even

256
00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:46,760
Speaker 3: since coming over a little bit late because of the

257
00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:48,840
Speaker 3: visa issue, but he's looked great and I think he's

258
00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:51,320
Speaker 3: got some of the best stuff in the bullpen, and

259
00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:53,559
Speaker 3: that's saying something considering you know, they have puck and everything.

260
00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:56,720
Speaker 3: So I think Brozebon gets at least twenty twenty five saves.

261
00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:01,679
Speaker 2: Okay, Eli, you're up unless you want to comment on this.

262
00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:06,400
Speaker 4: Oh, it seems really high for any individual Marlins Pitcher

263
00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:08,960
Speaker 4: this year, although I said something very similar about Bender

264
00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:11,559
Speaker 4: last year. Entering the year, that's when he was kind

265
00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:14,160
Speaker 4: of that's when they name That's when they named him

266
00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:16,959
Speaker 4: as a closer, and they didn't have any clear person

267
00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:20,000
Speaker 4: lined up after him because of injuries. I agree with

268
00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:22,880
Speaker 4: what you said about his ability and his potential for that.

269
00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:25,240
Speaker 4: I just don't think that SKIP is going to use

270
00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:30,520
Speaker 4: any particular guy for that number unless they have amazing results,

271
00:13:30,559 --> 00:13:35,160
Speaker 4: really amazing, and I think Razabon is sketchy control. I

272
00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:36,840
Speaker 4: think it's just going to hold him back from being

273
00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:40,720
Speaker 4: consistent for any length of time. Although it's a great

274
00:13:40,760 --> 00:13:44,440
Speaker 4: find and for him considering where he was last year

275
00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:48,480
Speaker 4: coming out of nowhere so well, it's an interesting pick.

276
00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:51,160
Speaker 4: That's one that definitely I did not have him on

277
00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:56,600
Speaker 4: my board for my first bold prediction. This is start

278
00:13:56,600 --> 00:13:59,560
Speaker 4: with a spicy one. The Marlins have never had a

279
00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:02,920
Speaker 4: player for their cycle and franchise history. I think Jazz

280
00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:06,640
Speaker 4: Chishom Junior is finally going to check that box. This

281
00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:09,760
Speaker 4: has been a very familiar talking point for Marlins fans,

282
00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:12,199
Speaker 4: knowing that they made it this far without one, because

283
00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:14,640
Speaker 4: it's a lot more common for other teams, and especially

284
00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:16,960
Speaker 4: playing in this ballpark, it kind of is conducive to

285
00:14:17,240 --> 00:14:21,080
Speaker 4: doubles and triples. So with Jazz, one of the only

286
00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:24,040
Speaker 4: things holding him back last year was obviously injury, but

287
00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:26,200
Speaker 4: also because he started the year batting at the bottom

288
00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:30,400
Speaker 4: of the lineup, which limits your opportunities. This year, finally

289
00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:32,520
Speaker 4: he's going into it at the top of the lineup

290
00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:35,280
Speaker 4: or very close to it, so you can count on

291
00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:38,760
Speaker 4: him guaranteed. Four played appearances every single game, five played

292
00:14:38,760 --> 00:14:41,320
Speaker 4: appearances most of the time, so he's gonna have the

293
00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:45,200
Speaker 4: opportunity to do so. Also, like I noted that with

294
00:14:45,560 --> 00:14:49,400
Speaker 4: the shift being restricted, that's one thing that very quietly

295
00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:53,280
Speaker 4: was taking triples away from the game, especially against lefties.

296
00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:58,160
Speaker 4: Those alignments. Having extra infielders near the first base line,

297
00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:00,720
Speaker 4: it was preventing some of those sharp round balls from

298
00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:02,440
Speaker 4: getting all the way to the wall. So I can

299
00:15:02,520 --> 00:15:06,680
Speaker 4: see Jazz getting a pretty big uptick in that particular

300
00:15:06,720 --> 00:15:09,160
Speaker 4: regard to to the shift going away, having those extra

301
00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:11,840
Speaker 4: opportunities to get what is the most difficult part of

302
00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:13,960
Speaker 4: a cycle that triple in there at.

303
00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:15,760
Speaker 6: Least have the shift down against Jazz three on the

304
00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:20,400
Speaker 6: right side of the infield, and that is sharply hit

305
00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:24,000
Speaker 6: down the right field line toward the corner Anderson's on

306
00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:26,520
Speaker 6: his way to third that he's gonna get the green light.

307
00:15:27,840 --> 00:15:32,160
Speaker 6: He's gonna score easily. It's another triple for Jazz n

308
00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:34,960
Speaker 6: RBI to give the Marlin Joe one nothing League.

309
00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:37,360
Speaker 4: As long as he is he doesn't need to be

310
00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:40,040
Speaker 4: healthy the whole year, but as long as he is healthy,

311
00:15:40,160 --> 00:15:42,400
Speaker 4: more healthy than it was last year, and has those opportunities,

312
00:15:42,440 --> 00:15:44,480
Speaker 4: I think he's going to finally put it all together,

313
00:15:44,840 --> 00:15:48,000
Speaker 4: be the one who checks this box off for an

314
00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:50,600
Speaker 4: organization that is the only one active right now that

315
00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:54,000
Speaker 4: hasn't had somebody put the single double, triple home run

316
00:15:54,040 --> 00:15:54,880
Speaker 4: all in the same game.

317
00:15:55,920 --> 00:15:59,400
Speaker 1: Okay, so I'm up. I will go with a non player,

318
00:15:59,800 --> 00:16:01,840
Speaker 1: what's Skip Schumacher, and I will say he will finish

319
00:16:01,840 --> 00:16:04,920
Speaker 1: as a finalist for Manager of the Year. I think

320
00:16:04,920 --> 00:16:07,280
Speaker 1: it's possible. We could see kind of the Joe Girardi

321
00:16:07,360 --> 00:16:10,440
Speaker 1: situation here. They don't make the playoffs, but they're good

322
00:16:10,560 --> 00:16:13,480
Speaker 1: enough to the point where you see the improvement that

323
00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:17,880
Speaker 1: this team goes through. You know, offensively they're a better squad.

324
00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:21,080
Speaker 1: You see the record go up, maybe the seventy eight wins,

325
00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:25,360
Speaker 1: eighty wins possibly, and Skip Schumacher would finish as d

326
00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:28,200
Speaker 1: n L manager, possibly win that Manager of the Year role,

327
00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:31,400
Speaker 1: or just finished as a finalist. I see more likely

328
00:16:31,400 --> 00:16:33,440
Speaker 1: as a finalist. I would be very surprised if they

329
00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:36,040
Speaker 1: win it because you have Dave Roberts, you have Brian

330
00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:41,800
Speaker 1: Snicker there. So it's we'll see. But I do think

331
00:16:41,800 --> 00:16:47,040
Speaker 1: he has the opportunity to finish as as a finalist

332
00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:47,760
Speaker 1: for this award.

333
00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:49,240
Speaker 2: And we go back to Isaac.

334
00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:52,040
Speaker 3: I like that one, Okav. He's a likable guy. I

335
00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:54,440
Speaker 3: can see him. Maybe things would have to go really

336
00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:56,240
Speaker 3: well for the team for him to be a finalist.

337
00:16:56,920 --> 00:16:59,880
Speaker 3: And that's right. I'm sketchy about it. But my second one,

338
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:01,360
Speaker 3: it's gonna be I don't know if I didn't have

339
00:17:01,400 --> 00:17:03,840
Speaker 3: one for this player, but I do like this player

340
00:17:03,880 --> 00:17:06,040
Speaker 3: a lot. Hasu Sanchez has forty.

341
00:17:05,960 --> 00:17:07,159
Speaker 1: Oh, you're gonna get mine.

342
00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:11,280
Speaker 3: Would you say, Hayesu Sanchez will finish with forty or more?

343
00:17:11,320 --> 00:17:12,120
Speaker 3: Home runs?

344
00:17:12,560 --> 00:17:16,080
Speaker 2: Dude, you got my prediction? Okay, Hayesu Santi.

345
00:17:16,119 --> 00:17:17,560
Speaker 3: I think he's gonna play enough where he can do it.

346
00:17:17,600 --> 00:17:20,960
Speaker 3: I think he's got the most as what at least

347
00:17:20,960 --> 00:17:23,359
Speaker 3: some of the most brought power in the you know,

348
00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:25,359
Speaker 3: on the major league team, and I think he's the

349
00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:27,159
Speaker 3: most talented hitter on this major league seaf He's just

350
00:17:27,160 --> 00:17:28,840
Speaker 3: got to put it together and just not you know,

351
00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:31,160
Speaker 3: be swinging out of his shoes every time and even

352
00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:32,720
Speaker 3: with two strikes. I think he's been a little smarter

353
00:17:32,840 --> 00:17:34,840
Speaker 3: this spring. I think you've seen some sort of adjustments,

354
00:17:35,119 --> 00:17:37,680
Speaker 3: even hitting lefties a little bit better. Maybe he'll even

355
00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:40,840
Speaker 3: get some at bats against lefties. I think the bold

356
00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:43,200
Speaker 3: part is the forty home runs. The less Bowl would

357
00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:45,920
Speaker 3: have been thirty, so but this is the bold prediction.

358
00:17:46,040 --> 00:17:47,480
Speaker 3: Show Hazus Sanders hits.

359
00:17:47,320 --> 00:17:48,080
Speaker 2: Forty home runs.

360
00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:52,520
Speaker 1: I had just I'm not gonna use anymore said he

361
00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:55,560
Speaker 1: would lead the team in homers, so it's pretty similar there.

362
00:17:55,640 --> 00:17:59,160
Speaker 4: So all right now, elist I have won very related

363
00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:00,880
Speaker 4: to that, and that'd be a good time to put

364
00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:04,520
Speaker 4: mine in and I'll explain some other factors. And another

365
00:18:04,600 --> 00:18:06,720
Speaker 4: corner outfielder that I think is going to be much

366
00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:09,399
Speaker 4: better this year, Peydon Burdick. I have him hitting at

367
00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:12,159
Speaker 4: least fifteen major league home runs. He's not even on

368
00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:16,600
Speaker 4: the opening day roster. He just got options yesterday. I've

369
00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:18,920
Speaker 4: been relatively high on him, you know, throughout his process,

370
00:18:18,920 --> 00:18:20,680
Speaker 4: and it was a bummer last year, both at tripa

371
00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:22,960
Speaker 4: A and in his brief major league stint. There was

372
00:18:23,080 --> 00:18:25,320
Speaker 4: just there was not a whole lot of gain power

373
00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:28,320
Speaker 4: compared to what he'd shown earlier in his career. Looking

374
00:18:28,359 --> 00:18:32,479
Speaker 4: at him physically and in batting practice, in every other setting,

375
00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:34,840
Speaker 4: there's no reason to think that power has gone anywhere.

376
00:18:34,840 --> 00:18:37,840
Speaker 4: He just needs to get into advantageous counts and then

377
00:18:37,880 --> 00:18:41,280
Speaker 4: he's just going to unload. He's right behind pasuits in

378
00:18:41,359 --> 00:18:44,160
Speaker 4: terms of raw power ability, And obviously the threshold here

379
00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:46,320
Speaker 4: is a lot lower than forty. I was thinking of

380
00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:48,920
Speaker 4: doing twenty here, just because he's still going to be

381
00:18:49,040 --> 00:18:51,680
Speaker 4: rookie eligible, and in Marlin's history, there's been very few

382
00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:55,040
Speaker 4: guys that have reached twenty in their first full season

383
00:18:55,240 --> 00:18:58,720
Speaker 4: or their rookie eligible season. But with Burdick coming up,

384
00:18:58,760 --> 00:19:01,840
Speaker 4: I've always seen so much of Josh Willingham in him,

385
00:19:02,640 --> 00:19:06,040
Speaker 4: Josh a poor man's Josh Willingham, and Willingham was one

386
00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:09,359
Speaker 4: of the few guys that reached twenty plus in his

387
00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:12,600
Speaker 4: rookie year, and he came up, like Burdick, he had

388
00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:15,320
Speaker 4: way pretty deep into his twenties to actually get that opportunity.

389
00:19:15,359 --> 00:19:18,679
Speaker 4: Burdick is actually older than Hayesus Sanchez is. He's twenty

390
00:19:18,760 --> 00:19:22,199
Speaker 4: six right now. He has fully filled out physically. The

391
00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:24,280
Speaker 4: other factor that I wanted to note here, which maybe

392
00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:27,200
Speaker 4: came into your thinking. I don't know, Isaac, is that

393
00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:30,320
Speaker 4: there's going to be some playing time available in the

394
00:19:30,359 --> 00:19:34,479
Speaker 4: corner outfield spots, in particular whatever avisel Garcia is supposed

395
00:19:34,520 --> 00:19:38,920
Speaker 4: to play. Because I am super skeptical about Avi bouncing

396
00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:40,720
Speaker 4: back this year. I think it's going to be a

397
00:19:40,720 --> 00:19:42,680
Speaker 4: lot of the same struggles and it's going to be

398
00:19:43,480 --> 00:19:45,600
Speaker 4: much shorter leashed than he had last year for a

399
00:19:45,640 --> 00:19:50,440
Speaker 4: team that's trying to win, and for one that at

400
00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:53,280
Speaker 4: this point I reckon it's a sunk cost the contract

401
00:19:53,280 --> 00:19:54,600
Speaker 4: that they gave him. I don't think they're going to

402
00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:57,800
Speaker 4: play him every single day if he continues to be

403
00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:00,439
Speaker 4: such an undisciplined hitter who doesn't do enough in the

404
00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:02,800
Speaker 4: other aspects of the game to make up for it.

405
00:20:02,880 --> 00:20:05,480
Speaker 4: So I never root. I don't root for Avi's struggles.

406
00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:07,639
Speaker 4: I don't root for an injury or anything like that.

407
00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:09,120
Speaker 4: But I think we're going to reach a point where

408
00:20:09,119 --> 00:20:11,280
Speaker 4: there's going to be playing time available at both left

409
00:20:11,280 --> 00:20:14,000
Speaker 4: fields and right field. Burdock's going to come back up.

410
00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:16,280
Speaker 4: I expect him to spend, as this prediction said, yes,

411
00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:17,720
Speaker 4: I think he's going to spend the majority of this

412
00:20:17,760 --> 00:20:20,720
Speaker 4: season in the major leagues, whether it's playing every single

413
00:20:20,800 --> 00:20:24,520
Speaker 4: day or just like the big like mostly a platoon

414
00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:27,359
Speaker 4: guy against lefty pitching. He's going to go on some

415
00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:31,400
Speaker 4: runs where he goes deep a lot, and he's going

416
00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:33,320
Speaker 4: to be if he reaches this numberd that alone makes

417
00:20:33,359 --> 00:20:35,440
Speaker 4: him one of the more successful homegrown hitters that the

418
00:20:35,480 --> 00:20:38,199
Speaker 4: Marlins have had in a while. I think he reaches

419
00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:41,480
Speaker 4: that threshold. Not a star, but I think he's part

420
00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:43,320
Speaker 4: of this team. I think he's going to like assert

421
00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:46,679
Speaker 4: himself as a significant part of this offensive core moving forward.

422
00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:51,480
Speaker 1: You know, and it kind of hurts Hay that both

423
00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:54,320
Speaker 1: Sanchez and de la Cruz had phenomenal springs or good

424
00:20:54,359 --> 00:20:56,440
Speaker 1: springs at that, because he also had a great spring.

425
00:20:56,480 --> 00:20:59,199
Speaker 1: He started off with the great spring, and unfortunately with

426
00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:01,720
Speaker 1: I think there was a sprained right, like like a

427
00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:06,640
Speaker 1: sprain tow he you know, that eventually got options. So

428
00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:09,080
Speaker 1: I do think he's gonna have a good shot at

429
00:21:09,119 --> 00:21:12,000
Speaker 1: getting those fifteen homers. And my nextpedition will be one

430
00:21:12,040 --> 00:21:14,760
Speaker 1: I think Isaac has, but I'm gonna go go for it.

431
00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:17,159
Speaker 1: I think Hazels Lozarda will finish top five in the

432
00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:21,200
Speaker 1: nlcing voting. I am very high on Lozardo this year.

433
00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:24,440
Speaker 1: He looked great last season, He's looked good so far

434
00:21:24,560 --> 00:21:27,639
Speaker 1: this spring. I think he has the opportunity to go

435
00:21:27,720 --> 00:21:30,439
Speaker 1: out there and really go at it. I mean, you

436
00:21:30,520 --> 00:21:32,680
Speaker 1: finished twenty twenty two with a three to three two

437
00:21:32,760 --> 00:21:36,119
Speaker 1: e er that was only in one hundred innings pitched.

438
00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:38,840
Speaker 1: You have the opportunity to now pitching more. And you

439
00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:40,399
Speaker 1: think he'll be the number two or number three in

440
00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:43,320
Speaker 1: the in the rotation, most likely number two unless they

441
00:21:43,320 --> 00:21:46,119
Speaker 1: want to put Trevor there or Quaito ends up somehow

442
00:21:46,160 --> 00:21:48,639
Speaker 1: being the number two gut, which I'll be shocked. But

443
00:21:48,840 --> 00:21:51,560
Speaker 1: Lozard is going to get innings and hopefully maybe we

444
00:21:51,600 --> 00:21:53,560
Speaker 1: see him go deeper into game so far as spring,

445
00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:56,200
Speaker 1: so I'm gonna go he just top five. I think

446
00:21:56,200 --> 00:21:58,760
Speaker 1: I had the same exact prediction for Pablo last season,

447
00:21:58,840 --> 00:22:01,680
Speaker 1: so I'm just replaying the name and putting Lozardo there.

448
00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:04,439
Speaker 1: Very helpful.

449
00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:09,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's bold in the sense that there's so many

450
00:22:09,040 --> 00:22:11,560
Speaker 3: great pitches in the NL, so it'd be tough for Lozardo.

451
00:22:11,840 --> 00:22:15,040
Speaker 3: But yeah, I don't know how bold my next one is,

452
00:22:15,280 --> 00:22:17,440
Speaker 3: but I think it's time. I think it's just a

453
00:22:17,520 --> 00:22:20,240
Speaker 3: safe prediction when you do this. I think this one

454
00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:22,800
Speaker 3: might be one of them. Not too safe, honestly, but

455
00:22:22,920 --> 00:22:24,760
Speaker 3: I think it's time that this player takes the next

456
00:22:24,800 --> 00:22:26,680
Speaker 3: step and I think we're all going to see why

457
00:22:26,760 --> 00:22:29,719
Speaker 3: he was so highly regarded for his almost entire minor

458
00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:32,720
Speaker 3: league career. Edward Cabrera will be an All Star this year.

459
00:22:32,760 --> 00:22:35,560
Speaker 3: I think he makes his first All Star Game appearance,

460
00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:38,760
Speaker 3: and first I mean that seriously. He will get a

461
00:22:38,800 --> 00:22:41,440
Speaker 3: few more in his career. I think he's looked great.

462
00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:42,760
Speaker 3: His stuff looks fantastic.

463
00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:43,520
Speaker 2: He is a.

464
00:22:43,520 --> 00:22:46,960
Speaker 3: Little bit heavier than usual, but maybe I'll be a

465
00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:49,040
Speaker 3: good thing for him. Who knows, But I think it's

466
00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:51,639
Speaker 3: time that Edward Cabrera will start every fifth day. He

467
00:22:51,640 --> 00:22:53,600
Speaker 3: does have a minor league option, but I do think

468
00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:57,119
Speaker 3: he'll break camp with the club and he'll play. He'll

469
00:22:57,160 --> 00:22:59,960
Speaker 3: start every five days or maybe six days, depending if

470
00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:02,920
Speaker 3: to go with the six man. So it's Edward Cabrera's year.

471
00:23:04,400 --> 00:23:07,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, with you the one who wanted who would trade

472
00:23:07,840 --> 00:23:11,560
Speaker 1: out of cabre you said you would trade out for

473
00:23:11,560 --> 00:23:12,159
Speaker 1: Bryan Reynolds.

474
00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:13,879
Speaker 2: Yeah, of course. Oh yeah, Brian Relands.

475
00:23:13,920 --> 00:23:21,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, I'll trade Jazz Reynolds too.

476
00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:25,080
Speaker 4: So just just like you guys, I had a Hayesusseilzarta

477
00:23:25,160 --> 00:23:27,639
Speaker 4: one lined up, but I think it'd be redundant just

478
00:23:27,680 --> 00:23:30,160
Speaker 4: to like sing his phrases. We're on the same page.

479
00:23:30,160 --> 00:23:32,200
Speaker 4: I think with him, what he's gonna do, I'm not

480
00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:35,120
Speaker 4: gonna include this one, but uh yeah, I see him

481
00:23:35,160 --> 00:23:37,320
Speaker 4: having the best year of his career to this point.

482
00:23:37,359 --> 00:23:40,200
Speaker 4: Whatever that means, whether it means syng voting, whether it's

483
00:23:40,240 --> 00:23:43,240
Speaker 4: in terms of certain accolades that he gets, are certain

484
00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:48,800
Speaker 4: numerical numbers that he checks off. This is just on

485
00:23:48,880 --> 00:23:52,000
Speaker 4: the side, but I've just been so encouraged by what

486
00:23:52,040 --> 00:23:54,600
Speaker 4: he's doing becoming a more complete pitcher. My favorite moment

487
00:23:54,640 --> 00:23:57,560
Speaker 4: of the spring so far is from his last outing,

488
00:23:57,680 --> 00:24:01,200
Speaker 4: This one strikeout sequence he had where he mixed up

489
00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:04,399
Speaker 4: his delivery in all three different pitches in terms of

490
00:24:04,440 --> 00:24:06,600
Speaker 4: when he was releasing the ball, how high he was

491
00:24:06,640 --> 00:24:08,720
Speaker 4: lifting his leg. It was straight out of the Johnny

492
00:24:08,760 --> 00:24:11,760
Speaker 4: Quato playbook. That was something that mel had talked about

493
00:24:11,840 --> 00:24:15,639
Speaker 4: earlier in the year, about Wizardo learning from Cuato and

494
00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:19,879
Speaker 4: learning to be so comfortable with his delivery and his

495
00:24:19,920 --> 00:24:23,000
Speaker 4: ability to locate that he'd be willing to do this

496
00:24:23,119 --> 00:24:26,679
Speaker 4: extracurricular stuff to upset the timing of these hitters and

497
00:24:26,760 --> 00:24:29,480
Speaker 4: get them off balance. So it's all coming together for him.

498
00:24:29,680 --> 00:24:32,040
Speaker 4: That's why I don't even think it's worth me putting

499
00:24:32,040 --> 00:24:34,440
Speaker 4: another bold prediction in there, because we're kind of all

500
00:24:34,480 --> 00:24:37,600
Speaker 4: on the same page. I wanted to do a minor

501
00:24:37,680 --> 00:24:40,480
Speaker 4: league one in Heroes. I think I don't know if

502
00:24:40,520 --> 00:24:44,280
Speaker 4: I neglected that last year. I have Evan Fitterer coming

503
00:24:44,520 --> 00:24:47,399
Speaker 4: out of nowhere to be the Marlins Minor League Pitcher

504
00:24:47,400 --> 00:24:52,600
Speaker 4: of the Year, A very highly regarded draft pick back

505
00:24:52,640 --> 00:24:55,600
Speaker 4: in twenty nineteen when he was coming out of high school.

506
00:24:56,200 --> 00:24:58,760
Speaker 4: In this past year, he finally stayed healthy. He made

507
00:24:58,800 --> 00:25:03,439
Speaker 4: almost every schedule start with Hybloit. The numbers were very underwhelming.

508
00:25:04,080 --> 00:25:08,439
Speaker 4: He was a little inconsistent with his control, and he

509
00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:12,080
Speaker 4: just hasn't missed as many bats as his stuff suggests

510
00:25:12,080 --> 00:25:13,920
Speaker 4: that he should. In the depth of his pitch mix

511
00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:16,399
Speaker 4: suggests that he should. There's a reason why they drafted

512
00:25:16,560 --> 00:25:18,080
Speaker 4: him as highly as they did and paid him a

513
00:25:18,200 --> 00:25:21,040
Speaker 4: seven figure signing bonus because he has a deep pitch mix.

514
00:25:21,080 --> 00:25:25,200
Speaker 4: He has above average velocity for a starter. He has

515
00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:28,680
Speaker 4: really nice cut movement on a lot of his pass

516
00:25:28,720 --> 00:25:30,880
Speaker 4: balls as well, that makes it very difficult to square up.

517
00:25:31,600 --> 00:25:34,120
Speaker 4: One thing I look at a lot with developing pictures

518
00:25:34,320 --> 00:25:37,119
Speaker 4: is how many home runs they give up on their

519
00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:40,520
Speaker 4: way up through the system, just because the pitters kind

520
00:25:40,520 --> 00:25:42,280
Speaker 4: of tell you if your stuff is lacking in a

521
00:25:42,320 --> 00:25:46,000
Speaker 4: certain way. The really standout pitchers are the ones that

522
00:25:46,200 --> 00:25:49,520
Speaker 4: are almost impossible to take deep in the minors of

523
00:25:49,720 --> 00:25:51,240
Speaker 4: because the way their pitches move in the way that

524
00:25:51,280 --> 00:25:53,919
Speaker 4: this sequence confitterate to this point in his career, one

525
00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:57,240
Speaker 4: hundred and sixty endings and only ten home runs allowed

526
00:25:57,240 --> 00:26:00,159
Speaker 4: at this point in his career. The stuff is still there,

527
00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:03,880
Speaker 4: and now that he's healthy again, so I think he's

528
00:26:03,880 --> 00:26:07,760
Speaker 4: gonna take another step forward. A key factor in this

529
00:26:07,880 --> 00:26:10,560
Speaker 4: sort of conversation is actually spending most of the year

530
00:26:10,680 --> 00:26:12,560
Speaker 4: or all the year in the minor leagues, and for

531
00:26:12,640 --> 00:26:14,959
Speaker 4: somebody that just got finished with high ay, I expect

532
00:26:15,040 --> 00:26:17,520
Speaker 4: him even if things go well, he should be in

533
00:26:17,600 --> 00:26:19,919
Speaker 4: the minors this entire year, between Double A and Triple A.

534
00:26:20,960 --> 00:26:23,200
Speaker 4: I think he's gonna put himself on the map as

535
00:26:23,440 --> 00:26:25,800
Speaker 4: one of the better pitching prospects in this organization. He's

536
00:26:25,840 --> 00:26:28,280
Speaker 4: already a guy that's kind of been flirting with top

537
00:26:28,359 --> 00:26:32,720
Speaker 4: thirty status most team lists, but I think he's gonna

538
00:26:32,760 --> 00:26:35,320
Speaker 4: rise a lot this year and put himself into the

539
00:26:35,560 --> 00:26:39,080
Speaker 4: rotation conversation as early as twenty twenty four. There's a

540
00:26:39,080 --> 00:26:40,920
Speaker 4: lot of names that we've already known in the higher

541
00:26:40,960 --> 00:26:45,320
Speaker 4: minor league levels and those that have been closer. I

542
00:26:45,320 --> 00:26:47,760
Speaker 4: think he's gonna take a leap. There have been other

543
00:26:47,800 --> 00:26:51,200
Speaker 4: guys in recent years that we've seen kind of make

544
00:26:51,240 --> 00:26:54,639
Speaker 4: a key adjustment with the great staff that they have

545
00:26:54,840 --> 00:26:56,920
Speaker 4: in player development on the pitching side to get the

546
00:26:56,960 --> 00:26:59,199
Speaker 4: most out of themselves. So I'm not gonna write him

547
00:26:59,240 --> 00:27:01,760
Speaker 4: off just because it's in a quiet minor league career

548
00:27:01,840 --> 00:27:04,480
Speaker 4: so far. I think Evan Fitterer takes somewhat of a

549
00:27:04,600 --> 00:27:08,720
Speaker 4: leap this year and stays healthy, misses more bats than

550
00:27:08,720 --> 00:27:12,480
Speaker 4: he ever has before, and starts knocking on the door

551
00:27:12,600 --> 00:27:15,679
Speaker 4: of being somebody that's an actual rotation candidate for a

552
00:27:15,680 --> 00:27:18,520
Speaker 4: team that already has so many great rotation options.

553
00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:20,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I saw him in the backfield. He look good,

554
00:27:20,960 --> 00:27:24,720
Speaker 1: So I like the prediction. So this is gonna be

555
00:27:24,720 --> 00:27:26,960
Speaker 1: my safe one. I think a little too safe. But

556
00:27:26,960 --> 00:27:30,800
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say Jazz will go twenty twenty. That is very,

557
00:27:30,960 --> 00:27:36,159
Speaker 1: very safe. But I could have gone thirty thirty, but

558
00:27:36,200 --> 00:27:38,119
Speaker 1: I don't trust joh I don't think jeeerty thirty is

559
00:27:38,119 --> 00:27:38,399
Speaker 1: a good one.

560
00:27:38,400 --> 00:27:40,160
Speaker 3: I would have done it thirty thirty and thirty.

561
00:27:40,280 --> 00:27:41,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, but I don't think he's gonna hit thirty bombs.

562
00:27:42,040 --> 00:27:43,800
Speaker 2: So I'm gonna get you.

563
00:27:43,920 --> 00:27:45,680
Speaker 4: To do twenty five twenty five.

564
00:27:46,560 --> 00:27:48,399
Speaker 1: I could do that. Oh you see, I didn't know that,

565
00:27:48,440 --> 00:27:51,520
Speaker 1: all right, I'll go twenty five to twenty five. I

566
00:27:51,560 --> 00:27:55,600
Speaker 1: didn't know how you know that I was gonna.

567
00:27:55,400 --> 00:27:57,000
Speaker 3: Be pick whatever numbers you won.

568
00:27:57,680 --> 00:27:59,800
Speaker 4: I think when you put at twenty twenty, it's hard

569
00:27:59,840 --> 00:28:02,520
Speaker 4: to say that's bold. That's kind of almost the expectation

570
00:28:02,680 --> 00:28:05,640
Speaker 4: because he's he nearly did that before in twenty twenty one.

571
00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:08,120
Speaker 4: He's only a better player now. So I'm not gonna

572
00:28:08,160 --> 00:28:11,880
Speaker 4: take your take your spotlight. I just think to make

573
00:28:11,920 --> 00:28:15,440
Speaker 4: this fit within the constructs of this program, pump it

574
00:28:15,520 --> 00:28:17,160
Speaker 4: up a little, twenty five to twenty five.

575
00:28:17,600 --> 00:28:19,359
Speaker 2: All right, we'll go twenty five to twenty five.

576
00:28:19,880 --> 00:28:21,160
Speaker 1: Just want to play it to say, if I need

577
00:28:21,200 --> 00:28:23,760
Speaker 1: one that I know will hit, I trust Jazz to

578
00:28:23,800 --> 00:28:26,720
Speaker 1: hit twenty five homers steal twenty five guys. Obviously, health

579
00:28:26,800 --> 00:28:28,800
Speaker 1: is the factor for him. I will have played sixty

580
00:28:28,800 --> 00:28:30,880
Speaker 1: games last year, but in sixty games he looked really good,

581
00:28:30,880 --> 00:28:33,639
Speaker 1: and he was on pace to possibly go over the

582
00:28:33,680 --> 00:28:37,200
Speaker 1: twenty homers and have those stolen bases too, So I'm

583
00:28:37,200 --> 00:28:39,800
Speaker 1: gonna go with that. I think, you know, if he

584
00:28:40,120 --> 00:28:42,520
Speaker 1: plays a solid center field, he could focus a little

585
00:28:42,560 --> 00:28:44,400
Speaker 1: bit on that offense and doesn't have to worry much

586
00:28:44,440 --> 00:28:45,640
Speaker 1: about center field.

587
00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:51,280
Speaker 3: Okay, I'm gonna do a minor league one as well. Technically,

588
00:28:51,760 --> 00:28:53,760
Speaker 3: I think this one's pretty bold. I don't know if

589
00:28:53,760 --> 00:28:56,600
Speaker 3: it will happen. I think Will Banfield makes his major

590
00:28:56,680 --> 00:28:59,440
Speaker 3: league debut this year over I think on that league,

591
00:29:00,760 --> 00:29:02,720
Speaker 3: not over him. I think P mack might as well,

592
00:29:02,760 --> 00:29:05,200
Speaker 3: but I think they really shit's time, you know, twenty

593
00:29:05,240 --> 00:29:07,200
Speaker 3: eighteen high school droppic. It's time to see what you

594
00:29:07,240 --> 00:29:09,560
Speaker 3: got with this player, at least defensively, see if he

595
00:29:09,560 --> 00:29:12,440
Speaker 3: can be your Jeff Mathis type of player. He can

596
00:29:12,480 --> 00:29:14,200
Speaker 3: maybe fake it a little bit with the bat. I

597
00:29:14,280 --> 00:29:16,640
Speaker 3: don't hate it. He's got some power, but his receiving,

598
00:29:16,680 --> 00:29:18,720
Speaker 3: his throwing, he's just a He's a hell of a

599
00:29:18,760 --> 00:29:20,560
Speaker 3: catcher around the plate, and I think they'd like to

600
00:29:20,600 --> 00:29:23,040
Speaker 3: see what they have in the catcher's position in the

601
00:29:23,040 --> 00:29:25,520
Speaker 3: lower levels of the miners. He should open a double

602
00:29:25,560 --> 00:29:29,080
Speaker 3: A this year, and who knows, maybe Stalling's really regresses

603
00:29:29,160 --> 00:29:31,960
Speaker 3: even more. I wouldn't be surprised if he maybe gets

604
00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:35,000
Speaker 3: you know, I hate to say, like dfaid before June first.

605
00:29:34,840 --> 00:29:35,480
Speaker 2: Or something like that.

606
00:29:36,240 --> 00:29:38,400
Speaker 3: And Will Banfield would be someone that would love to

607
00:29:38,400 --> 00:29:41,400
Speaker 3: see up in the big leagues. So that's my that's

608
00:29:41,440 --> 00:29:42,800
Speaker 3: my bold prediction.

609
00:29:44,760 --> 00:29:46,240
Speaker 2: That was pretty bold, all right.

610
00:29:47,160 --> 00:29:50,440
Speaker 4: That's a good one when you just consider me on

611
00:29:50,480 --> 00:29:53,120
Speaker 4: the male spasic level. The only catchers on the forty

612
00:29:53,120 --> 00:29:56,480
Speaker 4: man roster right now are Stallings and Fortes. So with

613
00:29:56,560 --> 00:29:58,720
Speaker 4: anybody else, they need to make a case for whether

614
00:29:58,760 --> 00:30:02,920
Speaker 4: worth adding in the first place. So they're disposable veterans

615
00:30:02,960 --> 00:30:05,640
Speaker 4: that they can put ahead of him. Like what Austin Allen,

616
00:30:05,760 --> 00:30:10,920
Speaker 4: I think that's his name. He's a guy, and he's

617
00:30:10,920 --> 00:30:13,720
Speaker 4: in the organization. He can catch when he when you

618
00:30:13,760 --> 00:30:16,360
Speaker 4: need to. And as Ken mentioned, as much as we

619
00:30:16,880 --> 00:30:19,760
Speaker 4: really love p mac we love him for his bat

620
00:30:19,840 --> 00:30:21,920
Speaker 4: more so than his defense. And there's a question about

621
00:30:22,160 --> 00:30:25,520
Speaker 4: if he debuts this year, what position does he plays.

622
00:30:27,840 --> 00:30:29,520
Speaker 2: I will say Mac, He's looked good.

623
00:30:29,680 --> 00:30:33,320
Speaker 3: He's had some nice moments so Banfields.

624
00:30:33,880 --> 00:30:36,400
Speaker 4: We just saw him the other day when Alex Carver

625
00:30:36,480 --> 00:30:38,160
Speaker 4: of Fish on the Farm was there. He was catching

626
00:30:38,200 --> 00:30:41,640
Speaker 4: a Yuri Perez start, which for a while P. Mack

627
00:30:41,680 --> 00:30:44,680
Speaker 4: had kind of been Yuri's personal catcher, And so that's good.

628
00:30:44,960 --> 00:30:48,200
Speaker 4: It's interesting to see somebody else also get that opportunity

629
00:30:48,280 --> 00:30:52,880
Speaker 4: to work directly with the prize pitching prospect. For my

630
00:30:53,080 --> 00:30:57,240
Speaker 4: next bold prediction, this is my fourth one already. It's

631
00:30:57,320 --> 00:31:00,680
Speaker 4: another franchise. First, I think this is a team that

632
00:31:00,720 --> 00:31:03,560
Speaker 4: could get red hot for stretches of time. The Marlins

633
00:31:03,600 --> 00:31:06,800
Speaker 4: have never had a winning streak longer than nine games

634
00:31:06,800 --> 00:31:08,720
Speaker 4: in their entire franchise history. I think this is the

635
00:31:08,800 --> 00:31:11,800
Speaker 4: year where there is going to be a stretching season

636
00:31:11,880 --> 00:31:14,080
Speaker 4: that the Marlins have a winning streak of at least

637
00:31:14,240 --> 00:31:17,440
Speaker 4: ten games. So what does that mean? That means just

638
00:31:17,560 --> 00:31:20,040
Speaker 4: one time where you go two full times through the

639
00:31:20,040 --> 00:31:24,680
Speaker 4: starting rotation and almost everybody shoves, and when somebody doesn't shove,

640
00:31:25,040 --> 00:31:28,000
Speaker 4: the bullpen holds it down or the offense picks them up.

641
00:31:29,040 --> 00:31:32,080
Speaker 4: There's going to be a time. I think I've made

642
00:31:32,080 --> 00:31:35,040
Speaker 4: my general thoughts about this team clear enough that I'm

643
00:31:35,080 --> 00:31:37,840
Speaker 4: not talking about a playoff team or necessarily a five

644
00:31:37,920 --> 00:31:39,640
Speaker 4: hundred team, But I think there's going to be a

645
00:31:39,640 --> 00:31:42,320
Speaker 4: stretch of time where they really have us fooled into

646
00:31:42,400 --> 00:31:44,240
Speaker 4: thinking they have it all put together because they have

647
00:31:44,280 --> 00:31:46,680
Speaker 4: a stretch like this for the first time in franchise history.

648
00:31:46,720 --> 00:31:49,440
Speaker 4: They have been stuck at nine on the winning streak

649
00:31:49,520 --> 00:31:53,560
Speaker 4: side five separate times in their history, and they're going

650
00:31:53,640 --> 00:31:56,760
Speaker 4: to get over the hump this year with the depth

651
00:31:56,760 --> 00:32:00,280
Speaker 4: of that rotation and the win that they've been this

652
00:32:00,400 --> 00:32:04,080
Speaker 4: lineup is in such a way that it's gonna be

653
00:32:04,120 --> 00:32:07,400
Speaker 4: really hard to like totally keep them quiet, even though

654
00:32:07,480 --> 00:32:09,600
Speaker 4: spring training would suggest otherwise. They've had a bunch of

655
00:32:09,640 --> 00:32:11,440
Speaker 4: games in the spring where they've been limited to one

656
00:32:11,520 --> 00:32:15,200
Speaker 4: run or less. I'm gonna look past that and feel

657
00:32:15,200 --> 00:32:18,959
Speaker 4: pretty confident that most nights they're gonna be able to

658
00:32:19,000 --> 00:32:21,640
Speaker 4: manufacture a couple runs and that a couple of these

659
00:32:21,680 --> 00:32:26,000
Speaker 4: sluggers that as skeptical as I am about Avi Garcia

660
00:32:26,400 --> 00:32:29,360
Speaker 4: and the durability questions, is still Layer and Jazz. I

661
00:32:29,400 --> 00:32:32,520
Speaker 4: think there's going to be a period of the season

662
00:32:32,920 --> 00:32:35,240
Speaker 4: where they played the best quality baseball that this team

663
00:32:35,280 --> 00:32:38,120
Speaker 4: has played in a long time and have a winning

664
00:32:38,160 --> 00:32:40,920
Speaker 4: streak like this, ten game winning streaks to look forward to.

665
00:32:41,560 --> 00:32:45,440
Speaker 4: I can't even imagine how what the vibes will be like,

666
00:32:45,640 --> 00:32:48,440
Speaker 4: both on Marlin's Twitter and hopefully at the ballpark as well,

667
00:32:48,440 --> 00:32:51,200
Speaker 4: if they put it all together for a stretch of time.

668
00:32:51,240 --> 00:32:53,160
Speaker 4: It's not too much to ask just for a week

669
00:32:53,240 --> 00:32:56,920
Speaker 4: and a half to go undefeated. Maybe it is too

670
00:32:57,000 --> 00:32:59,440
Speaker 4: much to ask. That's why this is the Bold Predictions Show.

671
00:33:00,640 --> 00:33:03,040
Speaker 1: I mean they what was the last year seven game

672
00:33:03,040 --> 00:33:05,200
Speaker 1: winning streak went to start off the season, something like that,

673
00:33:05,320 --> 00:33:07,880
Speaker 1: or after the series against Philly.

674
00:33:07,880 --> 00:33:09,719
Speaker 2: They were on a pretty nice one streak there.

675
00:33:10,200 --> 00:33:11,840
Speaker 3: I think they won four or five in a row.

676
00:33:12,400 --> 00:33:13,680
Speaker 2: It was four or five. I thought it was like

677
00:33:13,760 --> 00:33:14,360
Speaker 2: six or seven.

678
00:33:14,440 --> 00:33:16,560
Speaker 3: Okay, well, they got the preacking to do it.

679
00:33:17,720 --> 00:33:18,040
Speaker 2: They do.

680
00:33:18,080 --> 00:33:20,480
Speaker 1: I mean, you have Andy, which basically books you a

681
00:33:20,560 --> 00:33:24,160
Speaker 1: team score in less than two runs. Maybe Treves look good,

682
00:33:24,320 --> 00:33:26,920
Speaker 1: Lozardo's look good, so you know you can kind of

683
00:33:26,920 --> 00:33:27,320
Speaker 1: book that.

684
00:33:27,360 --> 00:33:27,680
Speaker 2: All right.

685
00:33:27,840 --> 00:33:30,000
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna go with one I said last year

686
00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:32,680
Speaker 1: for Maxmyin, I'm gona do free Yuri. I think Euri's

687
00:33:32,680 --> 00:33:36,000
Speaker 1: gonna make ten major league starts Cueto. I just don't

688
00:33:36,040 --> 00:33:40,520
Speaker 1: think Cueto will work out midway through the year. He

689
00:33:40,840 --> 00:33:42,800
Speaker 1: has not looked good in spring training, and I look

690
00:33:42,800 --> 00:33:46,120
Speaker 1: good into the couple innings in theo WBC except hitting

691
00:33:46,160 --> 00:33:49,320
Speaker 1: ninety four at some moments. I think Ur's gonna force

692
00:33:49,320 --> 00:33:52,120
Speaker 1: his way up to the major leagues. As much as

693
00:33:52,120 --> 00:33:54,480
Speaker 1: they love Brax and Garrett. I think Euri's just gonna

694
00:33:55,280 --> 00:33:58,120
Speaker 1: well triple out the water, gonna force his way up,

695
00:33:58,120 --> 00:34:00,160
Speaker 1: and he'll be able to come up very soon to

696
00:34:00,160 --> 00:34:02,600
Speaker 1: the major leagues. I mean, I hope they don't do

697
00:34:02,640 --> 00:34:05,440
Speaker 1: what they did to Max with Max Meyer to Uri,

698
00:34:05,600 --> 00:34:09,359
Speaker 1: because URI's all once and you know, he's the best

699
00:34:09,400 --> 00:34:11,480
Speaker 1: guy they've had in a while in terms of pitching

700
00:34:11,520 --> 00:34:15,160
Speaker 1: prospect because Max Smyo was good, Eaters good, Oh, Dax

701
00:34:15,239 --> 00:34:17,160
Speaker 1: is good, but you know, Yuri's something else. And he

702
00:34:17,200 --> 00:34:19,399
Speaker 1: looked pretty good during spring training. I mean, he had

703
00:34:19,440 --> 00:34:22,759
Speaker 1: his his moments where he didn't look the greatest, but overall,

704
00:34:22,840 --> 00:34:25,520
Speaker 1: I would say Yuri looked pretty good. The Veala was crazy.

705
00:34:25,560 --> 00:34:27,440
Speaker 1: I think he was hitting it was like ninety nine

706
00:34:27,440 --> 00:34:30,759
Speaker 1: one hundred up moments. So it's very impressive what we see,

707
00:34:30,960 --> 00:34:32,920
Speaker 1: what we've seen from Uri. Now he's going to Triple

708
00:34:32,960 --> 00:34:35,719
Speaker 1: A where most likely he will face some guys who've

709
00:34:35,719 --> 00:34:38,759
Speaker 1: had major league experience or you know, our top prospects

710
00:34:39,080 --> 00:34:41,439
Speaker 1: at the brink of the major leagues. So it's gonna

711
00:34:41,440 --> 00:34:44,279
Speaker 1: be very exciting to see what URI's got, and I

712
00:34:44,280 --> 00:34:46,040
Speaker 1: think he could force his way up to the major leagues.

713
00:34:46,080 --> 00:34:47,239
Speaker 1: He's gonna do it. I mean, kind of what we're

714
00:34:47,239 --> 00:34:49,759
Speaker 1: seeing with Jordan Walker right now during spring training, I

715
00:34:49,760 --> 00:34:50,000
Speaker 1: think we.

716
00:34:50,000 --> 00:34:51,360
Speaker 2: Could see that with Uri and Triple A.

717
00:34:53,160 --> 00:34:55,160
Speaker 3: I think they're actually gonna If you thought it was

718
00:34:55,200 --> 00:34:57,799
Speaker 3: frustrating them holding down Max, no, I.

719
00:34:57,760 --> 00:34:59,759
Speaker 1: Think they're gonna hold him down even more. But I mean,

720
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:01,040
Speaker 1: I hope it's not.

721
00:35:01,080 --> 00:35:05,800
Speaker 3: That, but yeah, we shall see. This is my final one.

722
00:35:05,560 --> 00:35:07,200
Speaker 2: One, Yeah, my final one.

723
00:35:07,880 --> 00:35:12,240
Speaker 3: My final bold prediction is going to be that Jacob

724
00:35:12,280 --> 00:35:16,360
Speaker 3: Emaya has more than twelve and a half home runs

725
00:35:16,960 --> 00:35:20,759
Speaker 3: at least thirty thirteen major league home runs. I was

726
00:35:20,760 --> 00:35:22,919
Speaker 3: gonna say ten. I think he's just spent a bulk

727
00:35:22,920 --> 00:35:24,520
Speaker 3: of the year in the big leagues. I think he

728
00:35:24,600 --> 00:35:27,160
Speaker 3: has sort of not transformed, but he has sort of

729
00:35:27,200 --> 00:35:30,280
Speaker 3: gone towards a home run heavy type of offensive profile.

730
00:35:30,280 --> 00:35:32,640
Speaker 3: I think they're trying to, you know, not have him

731
00:35:32,680 --> 00:35:35,160
Speaker 3: do that anymore. But I do think he's got enough

732
00:35:35,200 --> 00:35:37,000
Speaker 3: power to hit, you know, to knock twelve and a

733
00:35:37,040 --> 00:35:40,239
Speaker 3: half over over a major league fence this year. I

734
00:35:40,280 --> 00:35:42,319
Speaker 3: think it gets called up maybe in May June. And

735
00:35:42,400 --> 00:35:44,719
Speaker 3: he's just he He is a perfect platoon guy for

736
00:35:44,800 --> 00:35:47,239
Speaker 3: Joey Wendall, which is also why I think they might

737
00:35:47,239 --> 00:35:51,640
Speaker 3: as well go with Julie Guiel. This is fun.

738
00:35:52,000 --> 00:35:54,640
Speaker 4: This is like almost directly in conflict with my final

739
00:35:54,680 --> 00:35:57,880
Speaker 4: bold prediction. I think Joey Wendall is here to stay.

740
00:35:58,000 --> 00:36:01,320
Speaker 4: He is a pending free agent. I think he's getting

741
00:36:01,560 --> 00:36:04,920
Speaker 4: the Miguel Rojas treatment as as this year goes on,

742
00:36:05,680 --> 00:36:07,920
Speaker 4: this is extension season. As we're talking like, it wouldn't

743
00:36:07,920 --> 00:36:10,200
Speaker 4: shock me if something gets done in the next week,

744
00:36:10,280 --> 00:36:13,280
Speaker 4: but I think more likely during the season before Joey

745
00:36:13,280 --> 00:36:17,760
Speaker 4: Wendell his free agency. It's extremely versatile infielder, a former

746
00:36:17,800 --> 00:36:22,239
Speaker 4: All Star. The Marlins will constantly remind you, I think

747
00:36:22,239 --> 00:36:25,600
Speaker 4: they reached a deal where they value despite what they have.

748
00:36:26,000 --> 00:36:28,760
Speaker 4: They've made quite a bit of investment in this next

749
00:36:28,840 --> 00:36:32,840
Speaker 4: wave of young infielders between Jacob Amaya and Jordan Groschen's

750
00:36:32,880 --> 00:36:36,759
Speaker 4: and then Savior Edwards, So I think the timing of

751
00:36:36,800 --> 00:36:39,160
Speaker 4: this deal will probably come in the middle of the season.

752
00:36:39,200 --> 00:36:42,360
Speaker 4: They give these young guys a chance to make the

753
00:36:42,360 --> 00:36:46,320
Speaker 4: big leaps or produce or at least show promise in

754
00:36:46,360 --> 00:36:51,480
Speaker 4: Triple A, and if they don't, then, unfortunately, I think

755
00:36:51,520 --> 00:36:54,960
Speaker 4: that's when they realize that they value what they already have,

756
00:36:55,120 --> 00:36:57,279
Speaker 4: the veteran they already have, whether it than rather than

757
00:36:57,800 --> 00:37:01,040
Speaker 4: putting so much trust in these guys who were unestablished.

758
00:37:01,400 --> 00:37:04,680
Speaker 4: Wendell is somebody who has never really been dependent on

759
00:37:04,719 --> 00:37:06,879
Speaker 4: his physical tools, so as he gets pretty deep into

760
00:37:06,920 --> 00:37:10,080
Speaker 4: his thirties, he can be trusted to still be a

761
00:37:10,239 --> 00:37:13,839
Speaker 4: useful player in several different areas. His bat to ball

762
00:37:13,840 --> 00:37:18,960
Speaker 4: skills aren't going away, and his for those who have

763
00:37:19,000 --> 00:37:20,960
Speaker 4: seen him up close, he's a guy that takes a

764
00:37:21,000 --> 00:37:23,000
Speaker 4: lot of pride in his saying physically fit. He's not

765
00:37:23,040 --> 00:37:26,400
Speaker 4: going to get very complacence with having a contract and

766
00:37:26,440 --> 00:37:29,799
Speaker 4: get out of shape. So the question with him is,

767
00:37:30,800 --> 00:37:33,720
Speaker 4: well from last year was his durability with his hamstring issues,

768
00:37:33,760 --> 00:37:35,680
Speaker 4: and he put a lot of effort this offseason to

769
00:37:35,760 --> 00:37:37,319
Speaker 4: trying to figure out why it is that he got

770
00:37:37,400 --> 00:37:39,560
Speaker 4: hurt and how to stay more durable and moving forward.

771
00:37:39,960 --> 00:37:41,919
Speaker 4: I would keep my eye on this as a mid

772
00:37:41,960 --> 00:37:45,520
Speaker 4: season thing once we get to the trade deadline, and

773
00:37:46,040 --> 00:37:48,279
Speaker 4: like the rumors will be heating up with anybody who's

774
00:37:48,280 --> 00:37:50,040
Speaker 4: appending free agent, and I think the Marlins are going

775
00:37:50,080 --> 00:37:52,600
Speaker 4: to get out ahead of that, which they didn't do

776
00:37:52,760 --> 00:37:55,600
Speaker 4: with Starling Marte when he was in that situation, among

777
00:37:55,680 --> 00:37:58,040
Speaker 4: several others. But I think with Wendell they're going to

778
00:37:58,080 --> 00:37:59,440
Speaker 4: make an exception and this is gonna be one of

779
00:37:59,440 --> 00:38:03,800
Speaker 4: those cases they lock in another veteran player for the

780
00:38:04,239 --> 00:38:06,839
Speaker 4: next few years. So then you have Wendell, you have

781
00:38:07,080 --> 00:38:10,719
Speaker 4: Luise Rise, and you have Gene Segura and you have

782
00:38:11,480 --> 00:38:14,080
Speaker 4: a lot of it. I'm not sure exactly how these

783
00:38:14,120 --> 00:38:17,000
Speaker 4: pieces fit together, but these guys raise the floor of

784
00:38:17,000 --> 00:38:19,920
Speaker 4: your organization when you have these veteran players all in

785
00:38:20,000 --> 00:38:23,759
Speaker 4: place for a little while. So I think this is

786
00:38:23,800 --> 00:38:27,880
Speaker 4: a sneaky extension candidate to look forward to Joey Wendall,

787
00:38:28,000 --> 00:38:30,680
Speaker 4: assuming that he plays even better than he did in

788
00:38:30,719 --> 00:38:32,920
Speaker 4: twenty twenty two. That's essential what this comes down to.

789
00:38:32,960 --> 00:38:34,640
Speaker 4: I think he's going to have a very nice year

790
00:38:34,920 --> 00:38:37,000
Speaker 4: in the first half to convinced the Marlins to make

791
00:38:37,040 --> 00:38:37,880
Speaker 4: this commitment to it.

792
00:38:39,320 --> 00:38:43,359
Speaker 1: I like it, Joe, Yeah, comment, I won't go god

793
00:38:43,440 --> 00:38:46,640
Speaker 1: set Man, all right, So my last one's gonna be

794
00:38:46,680 --> 00:38:49,560
Speaker 1: the bold one, the big bold one, I said last

795
00:38:49,600 --> 00:38:52,560
Speaker 1: year Hoyas, So there would be a gold Glove candidate

796
00:38:53,080 --> 00:38:55,200
Speaker 1: that didn't end up too well, although he started off

797
00:38:55,200 --> 00:38:57,960
Speaker 1: the season pretty well. But I'm gonna go with Luisa

798
00:38:58,080 --> 00:39:01,080
Speaker 1: Raies will win the n album title. He will go

799
00:39:01,160 --> 00:39:03,879
Speaker 1: back to back the first player since twenty twenty, which

800
00:39:03,920 --> 00:39:05,840
Speaker 1: was DJ Lemayhew who won it for the Yankees. I

801
00:39:05,880 --> 00:39:08,600
Speaker 1: believe with the Ale and he will be was it

802
00:39:08,680 --> 00:39:10,960
Speaker 1: like the third or fourth player to have to have

803
00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:14,120
Speaker 1: won a batting title in both the ALE and the NL.

804
00:39:14,280 --> 00:39:17,440
Speaker 1: So I think it's okay. Good prediction and was one

805
00:39:17,440 --> 00:39:20,359
Speaker 1: of the ones I was gonna say. But I think

806
00:39:20,400 --> 00:39:22,640
Speaker 1: he he likes Loan Depot. He mentioned it in his

807
00:39:22,719 --> 00:39:26,520
Speaker 1: opening press conference when we first when the trade first broke.

808
00:39:27,280 --> 00:39:28,480
Speaker 2: He he likes hitting there.

809
00:39:28,600 --> 00:39:30,759
Speaker 1: We saw him hit pretty well lone Depoter in this

810
00:39:30,840 --> 00:39:33,759
Speaker 1: stretch in the WBC, especially with that two homer game

811
00:39:33,800 --> 00:39:35,840
Speaker 1: against USA.

812
00:39:36,320 --> 00:39:37,360
Speaker 2: It was yeah.

813
00:39:37,840 --> 00:39:40,759
Speaker 1: So he's looked good so far, and he's had his

814
00:39:40,840 --> 00:39:42,200
Speaker 1: good moments to spring that.

815
00:39:42,680 --> 00:39:42,920
Speaker 2: You know.

816
00:39:43,080 --> 00:39:45,320
Speaker 1: The only concern has been you know, he struck out

817
00:39:45,360 --> 00:39:47,600
Speaker 1: a couple of times there, here and there, but out

818
00:39:47,600 --> 00:39:50,640
Speaker 1: really wouldn't be surprised about that. I have hoped that

819
00:39:50,680 --> 00:39:54,359
Speaker 1: ours could win another batting title. His real competition would

820
00:39:54,360 --> 00:39:56,520
Speaker 1: be Jeff McNeil. I guess who won it last year.

821
00:39:56,560 --> 00:40:00,600
Speaker 1: But I think our eyes has the possibility to out McNeil.

822
00:40:00,640 --> 00:40:03,839
Speaker 1: I'll do McNeil and one another batting title, so we'll

823
00:40:03,840 --> 00:40:05,439
Speaker 1: go A rise goes back to back.

824
00:40:06,200 --> 00:40:10,319
Speaker 3: One of my bold predictions was going to be a rise.

825
00:40:10,360 --> 00:40:12,279
Speaker 3: It's over ten home runs. I don't know how bold

826
00:40:12,280 --> 00:40:12,560
Speaker 3: that one.

827
00:40:12,640 --> 00:40:15,759
Speaker 1: I was thinking about that putting that one amongst that.

828
00:40:16,200 --> 00:40:18,759
Speaker 3: The one you know, as much as people think that

829
00:40:18,840 --> 00:40:21,399
Speaker 3: Lone Deepo Park is a picture park, which it is,

830
00:40:22,000 --> 00:40:24,680
Speaker 3: right field is you know, it's very easy to hit

831
00:40:24,719 --> 00:40:26,640
Speaker 3: it out that way. I think a Rye showed you that,

832
00:40:26,760 --> 00:40:29,680
Speaker 3: you know, flick of the wrists, the right field, your Cooper,

833
00:40:29,719 --> 00:40:32,600
Speaker 3: you're Brian Anderson, obviously we miss him. You can hit

834
00:40:32,640 --> 00:40:34,800
Speaker 3: it out in Loan Deego Park, especially if you're lefty.

835
00:40:34,920 --> 00:40:37,000
Speaker 1: So I was going to go that route, but I'm

836
00:40:37,000 --> 00:40:41,759
Speaker 1: glad with the WBC they made it look very hit

837
00:40:41,880 --> 00:40:42,280
Speaker 1: or friendly.

838
00:40:42,320 --> 00:40:44,520
Speaker 3: It would be the first batting title with Marlin's history

839
00:40:44,520 --> 00:40:45,320
Speaker 3: since what Hanley?

840
00:40:45,680 --> 00:40:49,840
Speaker 2: No Gordon since go yeah Gordon?

841
00:40:50,200 --> 00:40:55,319
Speaker 1: So any other another yeah, any other predictions we got

842
00:40:55,400 --> 00:41:00,319
Speaker 1: had out there that didn't make your official one.

843
00:41:01,080 --> 00:41:02,040
Speaker 2: E thought you could go out there.

844
00:41:02,080 --> 00:41:05,319
Speaker 1: I know he had him without one prediction that you might. Yeah.

845
00:41:05,600 --> 00:41:07,920
Speaker 4: I'm not going to share specifically what it is. I

846
00:41:08,000 --> 00:41:12,239
Speaker 4: just want to express some caution about Edward Cabrera. And

847
00:41:13,280 --> 00:41:18,920
Speaker 4: he's a sexy, breakout candidate. I understand why. I just

848
00:41:19,080 --> 00:41:22,560
Speaker 4: continue to have really big concerns about his commands and

849
00:41:22,680 --> 00:41:27,600
Speaker 4: particularly his the confidence in his fastball, which for back

850
00:41:27,600 --> 00:41:30,840
Speaker 4: to back years it just it doesn't. It used to

851
00:41:30,840 --> 00:41:34,439
Speaker 4: perplex me why he kind of what, as I say,

852
00:41:34,480 --> 00:41:37,919
Speaker 4: pitched backwards and through so few fastballs, and now it's

853
00:41:38,000 --> 00:41:41,520
Speaker 4: kind of a it's clear that he just doesn't locate

854
00:41:41,560 --> 00:41:44,920
Speaker 4: it the way that most starters do as the foundation

855
00:41:45,080 --> 00:41:47,600
Speaker 4: of their pitching. There's a lot of different ways to succeed.

856
00:41:48,560 --> 00:41:51,920
Speaker 4: I just between that and his durability and some of

857
00:41:51,960 --> 00:41:56,400
Speaker 4: these various injuries that he's had through the years. Like so,

858
00:41:56,560 --> 00:41:58,880
Speaker 4: the popular opinion is that he could emerge as the

859
00:41:58,920 --> 00:42:02,560
Speaker 4: top of the rotation sort of pitcher, and my worry

860
00:42:02,760 --> 00:42:04,360
Speaker 4: is whether he's going to be a starting pitcher at

861
00:42:04,400 --> 00:42:07,600
Speaker 4: all in the near term future. So I'm not going

862
00:42:07,640 --> 00:42:11,120
Speaker 4: to I have mixed feelings about this because I could

863
00:42:11,160 --> 00:42:14,600
Speaker 4: see it going a couple of different ways. But I

864
00:42:14,640 --> 00:42:18,239
Speaker 4: am I'm concerned kind of about exactly what his role

865
00:42:18,320 --> 00:42:20,400
Speaker 4: is going to be in this future of the team.

866
00:42:20,560 --> 00:42:22,680
Speaker 4: I think he's going to be part of this pitching

867
00:42:22,680 --> 00:42:28,399
Speaker 4: staff regardless. It's just I'm lower on him, i would

868
00:42:28,440 --> 00:42:31,000
Speaker 4: say than other people. I feel there's so much volatility

869
00:42:31,000 --> 00:42:32,439
Speaker 4: there and there's a lot that he has to prove.

870
00:42:32,520 --> 00:42:35,960
Speaker 4: Despite some of the sexy moments that he had last season.

871
00:42:36,040 --> 00:42:39,120
Speaker 4: For me, Edward Cabrera has a lot to prove this year.

872
00:42:39,400 --> 00:42:41,400
Speaker 4: He has to earn his place as a starter on

873
00:42:41,440 --> 00:42:44,320
Speaker 4: this team. Moving forward, it's going to be very competitive,

874
00:42:44,719 --> 00:42:48,520
Speaker 4: And to me, I'd say I wouldn't be surprised that

875
00:42:48,600 --> 00:42:52,480
Speaker 4: there's five guys moving forward. Perhaps by the end of

876
00:42:52,480 --> 00:42:54,840
Speaker 4: the season, there could be five guys in this organization

877
00:42:54,880 --> 00:42:58,719
Speaker 4: that I like better as starters than Edwards. That's how

878
00:42:58,760 --> 00:43:02,200
Speaker 4: I'm gonna kind of dance rounds. How it is that

879
00:43:02,280 --> 00:43:03,000
Speaker 4: I feel about that.

880
00:43:04,280 --> 00:43:06,160
Speaker 3: I used to I did share those concerns when he does,

881
00:43:06,200 --> 00:43:08,319
Speaker 3: because he did pitch backwards the entire time last year.

882
00:43:08,360 --> 00:43:10,320
Speaker 3: We'd speak about it in the group chat. He just

883
00:43:10,360 --> 00:43:12,799
Speaker 3: would be afraid of, you know, establishing the fastball early

884
00:43:12,800 --> 00:43:14,200
Speaker 3: in the count. He wouldn't do it. But I think

885
00:43:14,200 --> 00:43:16,520
Speaker 3: in his latest spring start he sort of showed maybe

886
00:43:16,520 --> 00:43:19,880
Speaker 3: a different approach. He was establishing that basketball and it

887
00:43:19,920 --> 00:43:23,440
Speaker 3: looked as good as ever ninety eight ninety nine with movement.

888
00:43:24,080 --> 00:43:25,680
Speaker 3: So that's what gives me a little bit of hope.

889
00:43:25,719 --> 00:43:27,560
Speaker 3: And if he pitches that way, that's the way you

890
00:43:27,600 --> 00:43:29,239
Speaker 3: got to do it if you have his arsenal. And

891
00:43:29,320 --> 00:43:31,520
Speaker 3: what makes me think that he wouldn't be anything but

892
00:43:31,600 --> 00:43:34,600
Speaker 3: a start is just what a crazy pitch repertory Scott.

893
00:43:34,640 --> 00:43:38,120
Speaker 3: He's got a sinkers, got a fastball, slider, curveball, nasty

894
00:43:38,200 --> 00:43:41,799
Speaker 3: changeup that reaches the low nineties. I think he's the

895
00:43:41,800 --> 00:43:44,200
Speaker 3: one guy who I would first, I would never think

896
00:43:44,239 --> 00:43:47,640
Speaker 3: would ever be inside of major league bullpen. But who

897
00:43:47,640 --> 00:43:50,160
Speaker 3: knows here If the command doesn't clean itself up, then

898
00:43:50,360 --> 00:43:52,480
Speaker 3: absolutely you're right. I think it's the command is the

899
00:43:52,520 --> 00:43:54,759
Speaker 3: one issue for me and the injuries. But I think

900
00:43:54,960 --> 00:43:56,080
Speaker 3: I do like the way he's picking.

901
00:43:56,920 --> 00:43:59,359
Speaker 4: I just advise people to come to their own conclusions

902
00:43:59,400 --> 00:44:01,760
Speaker 4: about him. He's somebody who I feel like his profile

903
00:44:01,800 --> 00:44:06,280
Speaker 4: has been lifted by testimony from Sandy al Contra saying

904
00:44:06,360 --> 00:44:08,719
Speaker 4: he looks like me, he does what I except he

905
00:44:09,200 --> 00:44:11,120
Speaker 4: could be even better than I am. This has been

906
00:44:11,640 --> 00:44:13,680
Speaker 4: there have been bits and pieces of that through the years,

907
00:44:14,280 --> 00:44:17,200
Speaker 4: and while I trust Sandy is so much, in fact,

908
00:44:17,400 --> 00:44:20,319
Speaker 4: every year I'm tempted to say, to make a bold

909
00:44:20,320 --> 00:44:24,680
Speaker 4: prediction that Sandy's gonna slow down, or like I was tempted.

910
00:44:24,920 --> 00:44:26,800
Speaker 4: For example. One other thing I left on the cutting

911
00:44:26,880 --> 00:44:28,680
Speaker 4: room floor here is that I thought Lizardo was going

912
00:44:28,760 --> 00:44:31,960
Speaker 4: to exceed Sandy in a per particular way this year

913
00:44:32,040 --> 00:44:34,880
Speaker 4: statistically and then but as I think about it, I

914
00:44:34,880 --> 00:44:37,200
Speaker 4: don't believe it, because I've learned at this point always

915
00:44:37,280 --> 00:44:40,640
Speaker 4: trust Sandy in every way possible. But he is such

916
00:44:40,640 --> 00:44:43,960
Speaker 4: a unique person and just in his as much as

917
00:44:43,960 --> 00:44:47,480
Speaker 4: he wants to like spread his great influence on all

918
00:44:47,480 --> 00:44:49,840
Speaker 4: these other teammates of his, it's a lot harder said

919
00:44:50,360 --> 00:44:53,719
Speaker 4: than done. Yeah, I can't say enough. You know how

920
00:44:53,760 --> 00:44:56,239
Speaker 4: awesome would be to have a Sandy clone coming in

921
00:44:56,320 --> 00:44:59,200
Speaker 4: right behind him, who has all these years of club

922
00:44:59,239 --> 00:45:03,799
Speaker 4: control and as everything that Edward has. I just have

923
00:45:03,960 --> 00:45:07,719
Speaker 4: my own skepticism about I saw. I feel he still

924
00:45:07,719 --> 00:45:09,319
Speaker 4: has a lot to prove. It just comes down to that.

925
00:45:09,400 --> 00:45:12,800
Speaker 4: So I'll be intently watching Edward this upcoming season.

926
00:45:14,600 --> 00:45:17,080
Speaker 1: Yep, anything else, Isaac, that you may have left in

927
00:45:17,120 --> 00:45:18,759
Speaker 1: the cutting room or whatever you know.
