Alvarez His 0:03:40.960 --> 0:03:43.760 shutdown seems to be precautionary more than anything, but until 0:03:43.880 --> 0:03:47.920 he re enters the Houston Grapefruit League lineup, his status 0:03:47.920 --> 0:03:50.800 will be one worth tracking. He has expected to occupy 0:03:50.800 --> 0:03:52.520 a spot in the heart of the lineup this year 0:03:52.760 --> 0:03:56.400 in after an exceptional rookie campaign where he posted eight 0:03:56.440 --> 0:04:00.960 point four twelve on base percentage last season.

All right, we're back 0:05:36.720 --> 0:05:42.239 here on the Fantasy BFS checking on Greg currently yelling 0:05:42.279 --> 0:05:44.320 on the phone at Judy because he didn't get enough 0:05:44.360 --> 0:05:46.360 sleep last night, So I'll keep you updated on that. 0:05:46.560 --> 0:05:49.480 We're going to go through our entire second base ranks today. 0:05:49.600 --> 0:05:52.320 Talk about sleepers, talk about bust but like we like 0:05:52.480 --> 0:05:55.360 to do every day here on the Fantasy BFS, we 0:05:55.440 --> 0:05:57.599 give you a little snippet of our NBA tip trill 0:05:57.680 --> 0:06:00.960 and earlier today, Greg Soussman spoke with Drew dick Meyer 0:06:01.000 --> 0:06:03.880 of Daily Rodor dot com about Carris Lavert. Last night 0:06:04.000 --> 0:06:07.000 posted a career high fifty one point. We're going back 0:06:07.040 --> 0:06:18.480 to the well, let's find out why at the shooting 0:06:18.480 --> 0:06:21.159 guard spot. Last night was the game of his careers. 0:06:21.240 --> 0:06:24.479 Purty seven points in the fourth quarter in overtime for cares, 0:06:24.920 --> 0:06:28.240 fifty one total story every point in oc as a 0:06:28.320 --> 0:06:30.359 nets defeat of the Boston Celtics, like none of them 0:06:30.400 --> 0:06:34.960 back to back. You're still going back to LeVert? Is that? Yeah? 0:06:35.040 --> 0:06:37.040 It's hard, you know, you usually don't want to kind 0:06:37.040 --> 0:06:38.760 of hit the home run two days in a row. 0:06:38.800 --> 0:06:40.440 You know, it's unlikely for him to kind of repeat 0:06:40.480 --> 0:06:43.120 that performance from last night and playing into overtime, playing 0:06:43.160 --> 0:06:44.720 heavy minutes on second night of back to back is 0:06:44.720 --> 0:06:47.080 always a concern. But pray second is still really affordable 0:06:47.080 --> 0:06:49.599 at six thousand dollars here, and a match up with Memphis, 0:06:49.600 --> 0:06:51.840 another team that plays at a pretty fast pace, is 0:06:51.880 --> 0:06:53.720 a pretty good one for Lavert on the whole so 0:06:54.080 --> 0:06:55.800 we think he's gonna be one of the better shooting 0:06:55.800 --> 0:06:59.080 guards to play now, if Marcus Smart is not suspended, 0:06:59.120 --> 0:07:01.600 which we're still waiting for that news, he's gonna be 0:07:01.640 --> 0:07:05.200 another premier shooting guard option with no Kemba Walker, probably 0:07:05.200 --> 0:07:09.119 on mcgrdon Hayward, probably no Jayson Tatum, probably no Jalen Brown, 0:07:09.400 --> 0:07:11.040 so Marcus Smart would kind of be the last man 0:07:11.120 --> 0:07:13.360 standing there. Those two are kind of the top shooting 0:07:13.360 --> 0:07:15.880 guard options, but with the unknown on Marcus Smart whether 0:07:15.880 --> 0:07:19.400 he'll be available tonight, careful birth hard guy. All right, 0:07:19.440 --> 0:07:21.360 there you go. That is Drew dinck Meyer of Daily 0:07:21.440 --> 0:07:25.000 Rhodo dot com speaking with Greg Sussman about tonight's NBA 0:07:25.120 --> 0:07:27.920 DFS slate. And I have to agree with Drew. Normally, 0:07:27.960 --> 0:07:29.520 when you see someone put up a career night, you 0:07:29.520 --> 0:07:31.080 don't want to go back the next day because then 0:07:31.120 --> 0:07:32.640 you just feel like, oh, well, I missed out on 0:07:32.680 --> 0:07:35.400 the career night already. But I think things set up 0:07:35.440 --> 0:07:38.360 pretty well for cars LeVert, who was just ridiculous last night. 0:07:38.560 --> 0:07:40.880 Let that come back for the Brooklyn Nets. They were 0:07:40.880 --> 0:07:43.040 down to twenty one points against the Boston Celtics. He 0:07:43.120 --> 0:07:46.280 scores thirty seven points in the fourth quarter in overtime 0:07:46.440 --> 0:07:49.440 to help the Brooklyn Nets get that big win over 0:07:49.640 --> 0:07:52.200 the Boston Celtics. Greg going back to the well with 0:07:52.200 --> 0:07:55.000 Caros LeVert tonight, Well, that's cash LeVert understanding the show. 0:07:55.040 --> 0:07:57.800 He was awesome last night. See if we can win 0:07:57.880 --> 0:08:00.840 some money over in DFS. Also gonna win your money 0:08:00.840 --> 0:08:04.200 by drafting you the second basement. That matter, Frank, Let's 0:08:04.240 --> 0:08:06.080 get right into it. Let's start. Let's not to the top. 0:08:07.160 --> 0:08:10.520 Are there any No, this position is bad, Gregg, It's 0:08:10.520 --> 0:08:12.920 not good, Frank. At least I would say almost every 0:08:12.920 --> 0:08:15.240 position outside of catcher has like a first round pick, 0:08:15.320 --> 0:08:18.320 a second round pick, not second base. No, driving your 0:08:18.360 --> 0:08:22.760 second basick. You know it's interesting my top there's ten 0:08:22.800 --> 0:08:24.400 second bas me. You have my listening aboard right now. 0:08:24.480 --> 0:08:26.440 I'm actually kind of surprised you have AUSI number one 0:08:26.480 --> 0:08:30.000 as well. Yeah, I'm in. I'm in on Azzie al 0:08:30.080 --> 0:08:34.760 base for me. I got ten guys alike nobody else. Well, 0:08:34.760 --> 0:08:36.920 I hope you get one of those top ten, greg Orlse, 0:08:36.960 --> 0:08:41.079 you're screwed right, correct, I don't like anybody else. Yeah, 0:08:41.160 --> 0:08:44.400 let's start on the top here with Ozzy Albis number one, old, Yeah, 0:08:44.440 --> 0:08:46.040 you do yeah, I'm not. I've number one as well. 0:08:46.080 --> 0:08:49.079 I'm just surprised that you know I have about two 0:08:49.080 --> 0:08:50.720 bad four and I'll tell you reasons why I'm not 0:08:50.720 --> 0:08:54.000 in ours two. To be fair, I didn't rank Kettle Martins. 0:08:54.040 --> 0:08:57.000 We talked seven days now, so he's just not ranked. 0:08:57.040 --> 0:08:59.920 Talk about him again. No, Greg's hatred for Kettle Marte, 0:09:00.200 --> 0:09:05.439 It's unwarranted. Greg super consistent first two seasons here out 0:09:05.440 --> 0:09:08.040 of Azzi, I'll be back to back. Twenty four home runs, 0:09:08.080 --> 0:09:11.319 over a hundred runs scored, eight six RBIs, fifteen solen 0:09:11.360 --> 0:09:16.880 bases with a two batting average in last year, improved 0:09:16.920 --> 0:09:20.800 his walk rade, lowered his strikeout rate, improved his battle 0:09:20.800 --> 0:09:23.600 ball across the board, started hitting more line drives, started 0:09:23.640 --> 0:09:27.320 hitting more hard contact. Greg. The barrel rate, average egg 0:09:27.360 --> 0:09:29.959 of velocity, the expected slugging percentage, everything you want to 0:09:30.000 --> 0:09:33.480 see out of a young hitter has been improving for Azzi. Albis. 0:09:33.520 --> 0:09:36.160 He's still only twenty three years old. He's gonna bad second. 0:09:36.160 --> 0:09:39.240 Think about this, He's gonna bad second. Between Ronald Dacuna 0:09:39.320 --> 0:09:42.360 and Freddie Freeman. There might not be a better spot 0:09:42.440 --> 0:09:45.240 to bat in in all of baseball than to be 0:09:45.280 --> 0:09:47.800 Azzy Albi's this upcoming season. Greg, the one thing that 0:09:47.840 --> 0:09:50.199 I will bring up, and I'm surprised you haven't mentioned 0:09:50.200 --> 0:09:53.000 this to me yet, is that he has struggled against 0:09:53.040 --> 0:09:56.280 left handed pitching in his against right handed pitching in 0:09:56.320 --> 0:09:59.320 his career. He's a switch hitter. He crushes lefties, and 0:09:59.360 --> 0:10:01.520 all throughout the owners it's been the same thing. He 0:10:01.600 --> 0:10:05.840 absolutely crushes left handed pitching, but it is not as 0:10:05.880 --> 0:10:08.600 good against right handed pitching, even as a switch hitter 0:10:09.160 --> 0:10:12.120 last year against leftist three eight nine with an OPS 0:10:12.200 --> 0:10:14.920 over a thousand against lefties to sixty seven with an 0:10:14.920 --> 0:10:19.840 OPUS around seven eighty against right handed pitching last year 0:10:19.840 --> 0:10:22.800 for Ozzy Albi's, So hopefully he can improve there. He 0:10:22.800 --> 0:10:24.800 hasn't really shown any signs. He has a long track 0:10:24.840 --> 0:10:26.720 record of being the same player in the minor leagues. 0:10:26.840 --> 0:10:28.400 But even if he's not, Greg, I think, you know, 0:10:28.440 --> 0:10:30.880 twenty home runs, I think there's still another level in 0:10:30.960 --> 0:10:32.679 terms of soulen basis. It wouldn't surprise me if he 0:10:32.679 --> 0:10:36.120 can get probably going to approach one runs scored once again, 0:10:36.360 --> 0:10:37.880 a really good line up there at the top of 0:10:37.920 --> 0:10:40.240 the Atlanta Braves. Um. I think he's just an as 0:10:40.240 --> 0:10:42.200 sending player and I don't mind snagging him in that 0:10:42.320 --> 0:10:44.599 third fourth ront range. I agree in what you just 0:10:44.640 --> 0:10:46.600 said is right because he's still young. And I think 0:10:46.640 --> 0:10:49.199 that given that he's twenty three years old right now 0:10:50.040 --> 0:10:53.400 and playing he's what third full season in the major 0:10:53.440 --> 0:10:57.400 leagues ready, it's a player that's prime to go this season. 0:10:57.640 --> 0:11:00.360 It doesn't take much to get there. He's he showed 0:11:00.360 --> 0:11:02.280 more speed in the minors two right, I think I 0:11:02.320 --> 0:11:05.120 can get the steals, right. I think everything else that 0:11:05.160 --> 0:11:09.000 we're seeing, he's realistic, Like you'd like to improve against righties, 0:11:09.120 --> 0:11:12.000 but first half of the second half, why not being 0:11:12.200 --> 0:11:16.920 relatively even the power runs in second days, getting steals 0:11:16.920 --> 0:11:18.400 over all, the runs scored in the middle of a 0:11:18.559 --> 0:11:22.040 great or top of a great lineup. It's a guy 0:11:22.080 --> 0:11:24.000 that's only going to get better. This is an ascending 0:11:24.040 --> 0:11:26.880 player that's clear that you want, Like, you know, how, 0:11:27.240 --> 0:11:29.120 what does Ozzie Albies have to do? I guess it's 0:11:29.120 --> 0:11:31.360 more power or more speed? What does he have to 0:11:31.360 --> 0:11:33.439 do to get in that first second round range? Next 0:11:33.520 --> 0:11:34.920 year he's like in the third round, Like it's where 0:11:34.960 --> 0:11:36.960 he's going, that's where you should be going. What does 0:11:37.000 --> 0:11:39.880 he have to do this year to ascend. I think 0:11:40.559 --> 0:11:43.599 if he remains where the batting averages right, if he 0:11:43.640 --> 0:11:47.240 approaches three and he goes, he's probably a first round 0:11:47.280 --> 0:11:49.400 player next year. Outside of that, if he if he 0:11:49.440 --> 0:11:51.080 does something similar to what he's done the past couple 0:11:51.120 --> 0:11:53.320 of seasons, he's probably just gonna stay status quo and 0:11:53.360 --> 0:11:55.840 this might be the player he is. That's perfectly fine, 0:11:55.960 --> 0:11:58.200 but there's also that chance that he takes the next 0:11:58.200 --> 0:12:00.439 step because he's still so young. He's only years old. 0:12:00.480 --> 0:12:03.560 So would you rather have a Sting Marte? I would 0:12:03.640 --> 0:12:06.360 rather have Starling Marte just because you basically want Ozzy 0:12:06.400 --> 0:12:08.680 Albis to do what Stalo Marte does every single year. 0:12:08.679 --> 0:12:10.560 But he is a sendame. But there is a little 0:12:10.559 --> 0:12:12.559 bit more injury risk as well. I'll take Staring Marte, 0:12:12.640 --> 0:12:14.160 but it's a fair question. It's close. What's look more 0:12:14.200 --> 0:12:20.840 of the second basement, including whose l Today next?

So we'll get 0:13:04.600 --> 0:13:08.360 into that hottle bit later on in the program. Uh. 0:13:08.800 --> 0:13:12.199 You know I was telling you that was it a 0:13:12.280 --> 0:13:15.000 day or two ago where I was like, your hatreds 0:13:15.040 --> 0:13:17.800 just gone to Chris Bryan, Chris Bryant, that all I 0:13:17.800 --> 0:13:20.000 needed to do was hear hatred. Hatred. But Frank means 0:13:20.040 --> 0:13:22.920 either Trevor Bauer or Chris Bryan this year? Does Who 0:13:22.960 --> 0:13:26.559 was it last year that you just like despiesed Umm, 0:13:27.240 --> 0:13:29.040 I remember who it was. You can look at my 0:13:29.120 --> 0:13:32.200 rankings and find out. Yeah, I remember it, like I 0:13:32.240 --> 0:13:35.839 know you. He comes to mind right away. I knew you, 0:13:36.000 --> 0:13:39.160 the astio tweet guy. You didn't like George Springer. But 0:13:39.240 --> 0:13:42.600 it wasn't like I minded George. It wasn't like this 0:13:42.679 --> 0:13:46.640 hatred level on George Springer. You just preferred. Yeah, that 0:13:46.720 --> 0:13:48.080 was like the first thing game in min I don't remember. 0:13:48.080 --> 0:13:49.960 I'll go back on my rankings and trying to remember Rizzo. 0:13:50.000 --> 0:13:51.880 I'm out on Rizzo everywhere too. I guess I just 0:13:51.880 --> 0:13:55.120 don't like the Cubs except for Jabier Bias So Chris 0:13:55.120 --> 0:13:57.199 Bryant one and I really thought that you just like 0:13:57.240 --> 0:14:00.360 went too far. We discussed that on our Outfielder Program 0:14:00.480 --> 0:14:03.319 or a third Mad Show. I feel the same way 0:14:03.320 --> 0:14:06.080 about Who's al to you? Guy? Like, listen, I'm you 0:14:06.160 --> 0:14:09.079 see my rankings. I got Ozzie Albie's at number one. 0:14:09.080 --> 0:14:12.440 We're an agreement his ability to go five you catapult 0:14:12.480 --> 0:14:15.120 as a twenty three year old player. It makes a 0:14:15.120 --> 0:14:19.480 ton of sense, Like I'm all in there, But Who's 0:14:19.520 --> 0:14:24.040 al today is number two? And I think that that combination. 0:14:24.520 --> 0:14:26.760 He doesn't run like he used to. He's not gonna 0:14:26.760 --> 0:14:28.440 have power. He doesn't run at all. He's not gonna 0:14:28.440 --> 0:14:32.200 have power like a Labor torres Is. I understand that 0:14:32.520 --> 0:14:34.440 it seems like you're going down the route of your 0:14:34.440 --> 0:14:37.760 Trevor Bauer defense once again, really telling me a bunch 0:14:37.800 --> 0:14:41.160 of reasons why Joe two Bay is not good in 0:14:41.240 --> 0:14:43.440 order to defend why you have him ranked second. He 0:14:43.520 --> 0:14:47.320 doesn't run as much, the average will be better than Labor. 0:14:48.120 --> 0:14:50.440 I think I think he has a good shot to 0:14:50.440 --> 0:14:56.680 score more runs than Labor potentially maybe really ah, he's 0:14:56.720 --> 0:14:58.400 gonna have one of the six steals this year, isn't he? 0:14:59.080 --> 0:15:01.480 I don't know. Well, if you ask Alex Bregman, he is. 0:15:01.680 --> 0:15:04.240 We had Alex Bregman's interview on Fantasy Sports today and 0:15:04.240 --> 0:15:06.520 he said, Jose how two is gonna steal thirty bases 0:15:06.560 --> 0:15:09.080 this year. I for one will be taking the under 0:15:09.120 --> 0:15:10.680 on that. The guys just dealt with a ton of 0:15:10.680 --> 0:15:12.680 injuries the past couple of seasons. Greg he had a 0:15:12.760 --> 0:15:16.280 knee surgery two years ago, he dealt with hamstring injury 0:15:16.400 --> 0:15:18.760 last year, and those have hampered his ability to run, 0:15:18.800 --> 0:15:20.720 and it wouldn't surprise me if he miss his time 0:15:21.000 --> 0:15:23.760 again This upcoming season. Kind of reminds me of where 0:15:23.760 --> 0:15:25.800 Paul Goldschmidt has kind of been trending the past couple 0:15:25.800 --> 0:15:27.840 of years, where next year Jose L two is going 0:15:27.880 --> 0:15:29.280 to be more of a mid round pick, like a 0:15:29.320 --> 0:15:31.640 fifth the sixth round picks. Still a solid player, but 0:15:31.800 --> 0:15:36.360 I just see him trending down and his plate discipline 0:15:37.360 --> 0:15:39.640 has gotten worse. Mind you, it's still really good compared 0:15:39.680 --> 0:15:42.240 to like league average and like most other players in baseball, 0:15:42.320 --> 0:15:44.920 but career high fifteen percent strike out rate last year 0:15:45.280 --> 0:15:47.600 seven and a half percent walk great was his lowest 0:15:47.640 --> 0:15:51.440 since to eighty two. Expected batting average was his lowest 0:15:51.480 --> 0:15:54.160 over the past four seasons. I just think the combination 0:15:54.200 --> 0:15:57.360 of injury risk knee, hamstring, he's not gonna run as 0:15:57.360 --> 0:15:59.560 a result of that. Last year he went six for 0:15:59.640 --> 0:16:02.480 eleven on the base paths um if he continues to 0:16:02.480 --> 0:16:04.240 get cost stealing early on in the season, do they 0:16:04.240 --> 0:16:05.760 just give him the red light. I've said that about 0:16:05.880 --> 0:16:10.520 a lot of players this year. I'm gonna remain Yeah, Dusty, 0:16:10.560 --> 0:16:12.960 don't care, don't care. All right, Well, we will find out. 0:16:13.040 --> 0:16:14.560 I still think that there's a chance that he does 0:16:14.640 --> 0:16:17.080 miss time. He has missed sixty three games over the 0:16:17.120 --> 0:16:20.440 last two seasons. Greg and last year's power breakout was 0:16:20.880 --> 0:16:24.240 obviously an anomaly. Thirty one home runs. His home run 0:16:24.280 --> 0:16:26.960 to flyball rate in the second half last year Greg 0:16:27.280 --> 0:16:32.080 was twenty. His previous season high for a whole season 0:16:32.280 --> 0:16:34.400 was fourteen and a half percent home run the fly 0:16:34.440 --> 0:16:37.320 ball ratio. I think he's probably more like a twenty 0:16:37.360 --> 0:16:40.400 four home run hitter. Good batting average probably gonna hit 0:16:40.440 --> 0:16:44.480 you to ninety runs. RBIs will be there handful of 0:16:44.520 --> 0:16:46.920 stolen bases, and if he misses time, I think the 0:16:46.960 --> 0:16:49.760 counting stats will even take a hit. So if you 0:16:49.840 --> 0:16:52.640 ask me between Jose two and Labor Torres, I will 0:16:52.640 --> 0:16:56.120 take Labor Tourists right with mary Field above him as well. No, 0:16:56.200 --> 0:16:58.120 I don't I have he's another one. I'm not draft 0:16:58.240 --> 0:17:03.040 him anywhere with mary Field that nine? God? Why because 0:17:03.080 --> 0:17:06.240 he's old and he's boring in the starting basis. Stolen 0:17:06.240 --> 0:17:10.159 basis are turning down, Greg, and D nine, I think 0:17:10.200 --> 0:17:13.280 you'd be a little agreed. Just now, Gregg, are you 0:17:13.320 --> 0:17:18.000 gonna argue with the top ten fantasy ranks? Yeah, he's 0:17:18.000 --> 0:17:20.640 the amazing they're trending down. He still a twenty last year? Yeah, 0:17:21.720 --> 0:17:23.520 he cut it in half? So what he cuts it 0:17:23.560 --> 0:17:25.680 in half again? Greg? He won't. This is his game. 0:17:25.880 --> 0:17:28.640 He's a three hitter. Yeah, Greg. How much did the St. 0:17:28.680 --> 0:17:31.040 Louis Cardinals run when Mike Matheny was their manager? Let 0:17:31.040 --> 0:17:34.560 it run much? Rank? And then the saying I understand, 0:17:34.840 --> 0:17:37.080 just saying like this is what mary Field does, isn't it? 0:17:37.520 --> 0:17:40.119 Maryfield is fine. I just don't think there is a stretch. 0:17:40.160 --> 0:17:42.000 I don't think there's much upside that that's what I'll 0:17:42.000 --> 0:17:44.160 said maybe I should have him over Maxi Monc because 0:17:44.160 --> 0:17:46.480 I don't really like Maxi Mounsey either as well. So 0:17:47.080 --> 0:17:49.840 once you get past um d La Mayhew, eight and 0:17:49.920 --> 0:17:51.919 nine for me Max Monsey and with mary Field, this 0:17:51.920 --> 0:17:55.399 is like a respect ranking. I like Michael I have 0:17:55.560 --> 0:17:58.920 met ten, but I'm not actually going to draft him 0:17:58.920 --> 0:18:01.280 over those guys like in a vacuum. If you're both 0:18:01.320 --> 0:18:03.600 available in like the seventh round, sure, I'll still take 0:18:03.640 --> 0:18:07.240 Wit Maryfield over Michael Stockers. The problem is Merryfield goals 0:18:07.240 --> 0:18:09.480 in like the fourth round. That's too early for me. Greg, 0:18:09.600 --> 0:18:11.920 I just don't like the price on Whit Maryfield. I 0:18:12.760 --> 0:18:16.080 understand that you shouldn't have it right that you like 0:18:16.160 --> 0:18:18.720 this guy's better. Then no, I don't. I haven't met nine. 0:18:19.280 --> 0:18:23.840 You you said you're gonna take Maryfield over Monthda moving 0:18:23.960 --> 0:18:27.040 up on spot. There you go. I will say this, 0:18:27.119 --> 0:18:28.840 if they're both on the board at the same time 0:18:28.840 --> 0:18:30.800 and I want a second Baseman, I will take DJ 0:18:30.920 --> 0:18:34.720 Lemayhew over Wit Maryfield. Then you're then it's right for you. Yes, 0:18:34.960 --> 0:18:36.520 So there you go. He fits in at number eight. 0:18:36.960 --> 0:18:40.320 For a guy that wants speed, you keep eliminating all 0:18:40.359 --> 0:18:42.000 the sea you gotta pick and choose where you want 0:18:42.000 --> 0:18:45.040 the speed, Greg, this is where you wanted Frank. But 0:18:45.119 --> 0:18:48.480 all right, so look he's gonna give you speed. He'll 0:18:48.480 --> 0:18:50.320 probably give you like eight plus run score. I don't 0:18:50.320 --> 0:18:52.960 think the Royals lineup is a great one to eight 0:18:53.080 --> 0:18:55.719 batting average. I'm just saying, like he's getting older. What 0:18:56.000 --> 0:18:58.320 number one? What if the numbers continue to trend down 0:18:58.320 --> 0:19:00.119 like they have been the past couple of seasons. Of 0:19:00.119 --> 0:19:02.639 those seasons, what does just last? What did the stolen 0:19:02.640 --> 0:19:04.760 basis go from twenty to fifteen? Is that getting it 0:19:04.800 --> 0:19:06.960 done for you? It wouldn't surprise me if that happens. 0:19:07.240 --> 0:19:09.159 He just went from like forty to twenty. But like 0:19:09.160 --> 0:19:10.840 the year before, we had thirty five? Right, so what 0:19:11.040 --> 0:19:13.000 up and down? It wasn't like it's been trending down. 0:19:13.280 --> 0:19:15.000 It was in half of what it was last season. 0:19:15.000 --> 0:19:18.399 I understand that Maryfield is a fine player. I just 0:19:18.440 --> 0:19:21.280 don't like the price on him. That's fine, But I 0:19:21.320 --> 0:19:23.480 think the fourth round you're gonna take whit Maryfield over Many, 0:19:23.560 --> 0:19:26.159 Machado or Moncada. There's no no, I'm not going to 0:19:26.160 --> 0:19:28.560 do that, absolutely not. But again I still think there 0:19:28.640 --> 0:19:32.480 was back at you where are you finding speed? Every 0:19:32.480 --> 0:19:38.160 time we do this, we have this conversation. Albi's seals 0:19:38.320 --> 0:19:41.280 number one, right, a little bit more power than whit Maryfield, 0:19:41.280 --> 0:19:43.720 more run scored. Is the number one second basement? Yes, 0:19:44.080 --> 0:19:47.639 you're not, are you Kestinghira I have ahead of him, 0:19:47.640 --> 0:19:49.480 and he's gonna give you probably ten to fifteen seal 0:19:49.640 --> 0:19:51.600 chat about Kesting here? Doesn't here is an interesting one? 0:19:51.640 --> 0:19:54.119 Doesn't here is interesting? He's no my number five second 0:19:54.119 --> 0:19:57.240 basement here this year, right behind whip Maryfield, right behind 0:19:57.359 --> 0:20:00.439 Glabra torres kesn't Eira a a top prospect the Brewers. 0:20:00.440 --> 0:20:02.480 He burst onto the scene, went back to the miners 0:20:02.520 --> 0:20:04.800 that called back up. But how the playoffs rolled around. 0:20:04.800 --> 0:20:07.520 He was the starting second baseman four in the Milwaukee Brewers. 0:20:07.680 --> 0:20:09.679 He's gonna hit in the middle of the lineup. He's very, 0:20:09.760 --> 0:20:12.480 very talented. He's just twenty three years old. Ninth stolen 0:20:12.520 --> 0:20:15.359 basis for him last year he had also seven in 0:20:15.440 --> 0:20:18.000 triple A, so you combine that's like sixteen. Obviously the 0:20:18.040 --> 0:20:21.760 power is there. Average was good overall o b P 0:20:22.240 --> 0:20:24.439 was good overall strikes out of bunch. But Frank, there 0:20:24.520 --> 0:20:26.919 is downside of Kesting here, greg I am sad that 0:20:27.000 --> 0:20:29.200 I have done probably four or five drafts by now 0:20:29.280 --> 0:20:31.680 and I have I have zero shares of Kess and Hera. 0:20:31.880 --> 0:20:33.600 I've got to get a few shares of him this 0:20:33.720 --> 0:20:36.400 upcoming season. The prospect pedigree is there, and Greg, your 0:20:36.400 --> 0:20:38.639 homework for either tonight or during the break, if you 0:20:38.680 --> 0:20:40.960
