Speaker 1: The worst team your draft money could buy. Let's talk
Speaker 1: to the pros. Welcome in everybody to Fantasy Pros. This
Speaker 1: is the Fantasy Baseball Podcast. It's be Joey p Joe Pisapia,
Speaker 1: That of course is the Welsh and it's you and
Speaker 1: today it's the All Bus team. That's right. The guys
Speaker 1: who are not going to have the best seasons, make
Speaker 1: no mistake about it. Some of these guys were saying
Speaker 1: that you might want to steer clear from and we're
Speaker 1: gonna give our reasons, as we always do. We don't
Speaker 1: blindly just throw out takes here at Fantasy Pros MLB. No, no, no,
Speaker 1: we're gonna back them all up here and Welsh, I know,
Speaker 1: we have a very exciting event coming up. We have
Speaker 1: a star studded, huge event coming up on Tuesday, six
Speaker 1: pm Eastern to ten pm Eastern, four straight hours of
Speaker 1: our Fantasyfest over at YouTube dot com slash Fantasy Pros MLB.
Speaker 1: So if you haven't already, make sure you subscribe to
Speaker 1: that YouTube channel everybody, so you get the notification of
Speaker 1: when the fest begins. Again. This is our MLB channel,
Speaker 1: not our regular Fantasy Pros channel. We're special here Welsh.
Speaker 1: We've got four hours. We're gonna do sleepers, cross breakouts,
Speaker 1: We're gonna do a mock draft. We're gonna talk prospects.
Speaker 1: We got Eric Cross, Frank Stanfeld, Nick Pollock, Derek Van Riper,
Speaker 1: Dalton dell Don, we got the Welsh, we got Bogman,
Speaker 1: we got everybody. Are you excited because I'm excited?
Speaker 2: Is it like a festivus? Is this a festivus or
Speaker 2: a festival Festivus.
Speaker 1: For the rest of us, You're gonna make airing of
Speaker 1: the grievances, perhaps the feet of strength. Okay, I cannot
Speaker 1: tell you if it's gonna happen or not, but I
Speaker 1: think there's a good chance.
Speaker 2: I think we should rebrand it as the Fantasy Pros Festivus,
Speaker 2: and then we could You could literally have one hour that's,
Speaker 2: you know, airing of the grievances. Me and Paul can
Speaker 2: get back into that whole player versus owner's thing again.
Speaker 2: And uh, I like the whole I like the festivus
Speaker 2: I did. No, I'm excited. I won't be there the
Speaker 2: whole time, but Bogmin and I are gonna be joining
Speaker 2: to do some mock drafting. Joey's gonna be holding it
Speaker 2: down in a very very good way to get everybody
Speaker 2: prepped for the fantasy baseball season, because it is weird.
Speaker 2: I got to tell you, like, we're in like week
Speaker 2: one of spring training, which I spent a lot of
Speaker 2: last week, but we're already in what theoretically this past
Speaker 2: weekend would have probably been the number one draft weekend
Speaker 2: in a normal year for fantasy baseball. That's most likely
Speaker 2: probably this coming weekend or the next weekend. So I
Speaker 2: feel like you still feel like a little bit thrown
Speaker 2: off on some of the stuff that you're doing. I
Speaker 2: just did taut you know, you're just starting to get
Speaker 2: into the drafts. But I will say that everybody should
Speaker 2: be pretty stoked, and hopefully everybody tunes in on Tuesday,
Speaker 2: gonna be lots of very very cool stuff, And I'm
Speaker 2: excited to see everybody's happy faces and getting excited about baseball.
Speaker 1: Yes, and that's the thing. It's gonna be a high fest,
Speaker 1: is going to be an information fest. It's going to
Speaker 1: be a fun fest. Maybe I should start the entire
Speaker 1: festival off with I got a lot of problems with
Speaker 1: you people, just like mister Costanza did with Georgiat dinner,
Speaker 1: but you know we should invent a holiday. Well, she
Speaker 1: and I are very prolific as like to ex fact
Speaker 1: that one was just on this weekend too, so fresh
Speaker 1: in my mind that you called it at Festivus. It
Speaker 1: literally was watching it on Saturday morning and having breakfast
Speaker 1: to that episode of Seinfeld. It's a classic. I love it. Also,
Speaker 1: don't forget we've got our MLB Draftkit at Fantasypros dot
Speaker 1: com slash kit, so you could dominate your draft with
Speaker 1: our free MLB Draft kick at fantasypros dot com slash Kit.
Speaker 1: It's a loader with consensus rankings, projections, got the salary
Speaker 1: cap values in there, so we've got salarycap draft going on.
Speaker 1: You can print out the sheet sheets in there. They
Speaker 1: got the sleepers, the bus, the draft strategy and more
Speaker 1: and it's all for you for free. That's right at
Speaker 1: fantasypros dot com slash Kit. So get that. And also
Speaker 1: to piggyback what we're doing today because we're picking our
Speaker 1: all bust team. We're gonna have a catcher, first base,
Speaker 1: second base, their base shorts slop, one outfielder, two pitchers,
Speaker 1: and a reliever. We also have our consensus bust featured
Speaker 1: pros out there, so we like to we'd like to
Speaker 1: cast a wide net, don't we Welsh to the rest
Speaker 1: of the fantasy baseball public get their thoughts as well,
Speaker 1: so you can keep an eye out for that at
Speaker 1: fantasypros dot com too. That's the consensus bust article goal
Speaker 1: that should be out there, probably somewhere around the same
Speaker 1: time that this podcast drops. So Welsh, I know you're
Speaker 1: not one for negativity, So does this hurt your soul?
Speaker 1: Never to mention these busts players here.
Speaker 2: You know, all joking aside to you say that that
Speaker 2: I can jump into the negativity range. Ironically, I'm not
Speaker 2: the biggest like sleeper bust like the podcast, but not
Speaker 2: the biggest sleeper bus type of guy because at the
Speaker 2: end of the day, a lot of it becomes relative
Speaker 2: to me. And I know that's a lot of people
Speaker 2: will not go in this range where it's like it
Speaker 2: is pure player takes. There's a lot and you know what,
Speaker 2: a lot of successful people like that, but it is
Speaker 2: player take the player take where I will sit in
Speaker 2: a space where I think value can be very important
Speaker 2: and you're talking about tears like everybody will, you know,
Speaker 2: shoe off a player forever, but then push comes to
Speaker 2: shove and a draft you your positionless in that one spot.
Speaker 2: This guy has falling thirty picks, and all of a
Speaker 2: sudden you find yourself drafting him. That a lot of
Speaker 2: the times, the whole idea of like sleepers and bus
Speaker 2: and stuff like that are relative to value, and like
Speaker 2: I will look at guys being like, well, you know
Speaker 2: this guy, and I've got a couple of those. Today
Speaker 2: we're going to talk about where you know this guy
Speaker 2: over here. I don't necessarily think he's a bust from
Speaker 2: a it's kind of like our PV from a relative
Speaker 2: like where you're going to draft them, to what production
Speaker 2: you can get later that's kind of busti ish, to
Speaker 2: what investment you're gonna make. But I don't tend to
Speaker 2: have like I hate this guy, this guy is going
Speaker 2: to bomb out, blah blah blah. I'm a little bit
Speaker 2: more neutral when it comes to these type of things.
Speaker 2: But I did pick out and I do have a
Speaker 2: whole set of guys for my all bust team today.
Speaker 1: I agree wholeheartedly with what you're saying in the sentiment
Speaker 1: behind it, because I feel the same way, which is
Speaker 1: probably I think what you're saying is every player has
Speaker 1: their place. It's just whether or not I want to
Speaker 1: pay that cost for them, and what's the return on
Speaker 1: that investment. I mean, we've talked about a lot of
Speaker 1: players here for different reasons, of different controversies surrounding them,
Speaker 1: but it's all about, well, what's the risk reward and
Speaker 1: what kind of investment do I have to make in
Speaker 1: that player? And I think for me, that's how I
Speaker 1: approach this list. It was trying to look at where
Speaker 1: I just felt uncomfortable for a myriad of reasons about
Speaker 1: certain players at certain ADPs that I felt like I
Speaker 1: just can't wrap my mind around this particular guy.
Speaker 2: And I think, like that's like a majority of what
Speaker 2: mine is here. But there are instances, like the true
Speaker 2: bus would be the situations where you look at a
Speaker 2: guy and you're like, let's just for I don't have
Speaker 2: him on this list, but let's just arguments. They say,
Speaker 2: Robbie Ray, you know, Robbie Ray absolute breakout last year, huge,
Speaker 2: huge breakout, became a top ten you know, overall starting
Speaker 2: pitcher from obscurity to probably barely even being drafted. There
Speaker 2: could be an instance if you were the person that
Speaker 2: didn't like Robbie Ray this year and you thought what
Speaker 2: last year was was a fluke and it was just
Speaker 2: a one year wonder. He's also going to a completely
Speaker 2: new team, a new destination that that could be a
Speaker 2: situation where you move beyond just bus where you're just like, well, listen,
Speaker 2: this guy not only is like a top forty overall player,
Speaker 2: I think he's going to go back to where he
Speaker 2: is and he's you know, there is no value to
Speaker 2: drafting him. And I know some people get like that,
Speaker 2: but I think you and I are kind of in
Speaker 2: that same place. And I like how you said it,
Speaker 2: like there's a place for everybody in their draft and
Speaker 2: that kind of can dictate the sleeper and.
Speaker 1: Bust idea agreed. All right, so let's talk about the
Speaker 1: all bust team. And you know, I know last year
Speaker 1: there were a couple of players that I picked his
Speaker 1: bus that turned out pretty good, but there were a
Speaker 1: few bus that I was spot on. So I'm going
Speaker 1: to try to go perfect here.
Speaker 2: Do you remember what you had last year? Was there, like,
Speaker 2: did you have a really good fun of them?
Speaker 1: I was wrong about And I will take my l
Speaker 1: and I will take my medicine I was uncomfortable with
Speaker 1: Randy rose Arena. I didn't have enough of a sample size.
Speaker 2: You know what. I remember that he was going and
Speaker 2: I was.
Speaker 1: And I was very steadfast about it. I thought, this guy,
Speaker 1: you got to take him. He'd better be that dude.
Speaker 1: And you know what, he was that dude. So I
Speaker 1: give everybody who drafted him there a lot of credit.
Speaker 1: I was just uncomfortable there because it was that glorious
Speaker 1: postseason in a weird twenty twenty season. I just I
Speaker 1: did not feel comfortable in twenty twenty one just making
Speaker 1: a big investment in him. And that's fine, Like he
Speaker 1: was not a bust and you know what, I didn't
Speaker 1: have any shares? Should I have? Yeah, And it's okay.
Speaker 1: You know. There's one thing to in this industry that
Speaker 1: I hate is like no analyst ever refuses to admit
Speaker 1: I feel like when they're wrong because their egos sometimes
Speaker 1: maybe too fragile. I don't know what it is, But
Speaker 1: if we don't admit we're wrong, how can we learn
Speaker 1: from those mistakes? And even going back into the track record,
Speaker 1: I dug deep into his cardinal days in the minor
Speaker 1: league system there and I was looking like he's a
Speaker 1: nice player. It seems like it's sustainable. But it's the
Speaker 1: Ray's offense. What are they going to do? You know?
Speaker 1: And they made additions, you know, Wander Franco and Nelson
Speaker 1: Cruz in that offense I think helped a Rose raina
Speaker 1: quite a bit in the second half of last year.
Speaker 1: So you could also point to those things that were
Speaker 1: not there in the beginning of twenty twenty one when
Speaker 1: I was not happy about him. Had he had more
Speaker 1: line of protection at the beginning of the year, maybe
Speaker 1: I would have felt differently about it too. But again,
Speaker 1: this is all the circumstances, and Welsh said, we're here
Speaker 1: at the end of March trying to make this work.
Speaker 1: So let's start at the catcher position here in the backstop.
Speaker 1: Who is your guy that you think is going to
Speaker 1: be a bus based on your ADP investment.
Speaker 2: Okay, so I avoided doing the thing that I wanted
Speaker 2: to do. That just says that sounds like you at home. Yeah, Hey, yeah,
Speaker 2: I avoided.
Speaker 1: Doing the thing I wanted to do because I wasn't.
Speaker 2: Allowed to do so I didn't want to get yelled at. Yeah,
Speaker 2: exactly right. The thing I want to say is I'm
Speaker 2: just not going to invest in catchers early. So any
Speaker 2: early catcher feels very bust ish. You could argue Salvador
Speaker 2: Perez having to repeat is quite uh, you know, it's
Speaker 2: quite a jump. Now. The thing that it also both
Speaker 2: levels of playing field though, is with the DH, you're
Speaker 2: gonna get a lot of catchers that are going to
Speaker 2: be popping out at DH. Will Smith would be a
Speaker 2: prime example of a guy that I think is going
Speaker 2: to DH. More so in the past, my baseline has
Speaker 2: been any catcher inside the top one hundred I don't like.
Speaker 2: So I'm going to say that and take the last
Speaker 2: guys I do think things are different. They think Will
Speaker 2: Smith can live that range. I think JJ Romuto can
Speaker 2: live that range. Obviously Salve can live that range. Those
Speaker 2: are the only three though, So the prime person I'm
Speaker 2: going to start to look at is who is that
Speaker 2: next crew, whether they're right at one hundred or right
Speaker 2: near one hundred that you're going to have to pay for.
Speaker 2: And the bust has to do more with the value
Speaker 2: of what you're paying. So I picked Yasmani Grandal really
Speaker 2: bad batting average. One of the interesting things about Yasmani
Speaker 2: Grandal too is. If you look at the guys ahead
Speaker 2: of him, you've got all high batting average players that
Speaker 2: have got some power. Salvi, Ramuto, will Smith. These are
Speaker 2: all high batting average players good power. Middle isia of
Speaker 2: the lineup where Yasmani is not a good average type
Speaker 2: of guy. He is not a great guy. Bat X
Speaker 2: projections have him at two point thirty two this season. Now,
Speaker 2: they are very favorable in the twenty five homer mark,
Speaker 2: but you know, you could get Mike Zanino for a
Speaker 2: little bit less batting average the same projected homers two
Speaker 2: hundred picks later. There's also just better batting average bets
Speaker 2: you can have later. Dalton Varshow is one of the
Speaker 2: few catchers I worrely want to invest in, and he's
Speaker 2: cheaper than Yasmani. So it's not so much that Yasmani
Speaker 2: grandal is not going to pay off. It's just paying
Speaker 2: somewhere between one hundred and call it one p thirty,
Speaker 2: somewhere in that range for a two thirty hitter at
Speaker 2: catcher when there is serviceable replacements way way lower. Tyler Stevenson,
Speaker 2: Dalton Varshow, you want to go even later, Go get
Speaker 2: a Max Stacy go get a Sean Murphy do something
Speaker 2: like that. I don't like the cost and I don't
Speaker 2: think it makes sense. There's a lot of good pictures there.
Speaker 2: There's some closers, incredible outfielders. So I'm going to go
Speaker 2: based on cost Y'asmani Grendel.
Speaker 1: Yeah, for me, it's Kybert Ruiz, and not because I
Speaker 1: don't like the player or the potential, because I do.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 1: The kid crushed a triple a in two different spots
Speaker 1: last year when he got traded from the Dodgers over
Speaker 1: to the Nationals. Certainly a guy can hit for high average.
Speaker 1: He's got some pop in the bat, There's no doubt
Speaker 1: about that. I always struggle Welsh, and I learned this
Speaker 1: lesson in my youth with Matt UIs, which is you
Speaker 1: can like a young, offensive minded catcher all you want,
Speaker 1: but their job is not to care about your fantasy team.
Speaker 1: Their job is to learn the pictures on your staff
Speaker 1: and manage all that stuff, and oftentimes they get so
Speaker 1: wrapped up in that the offense ends up kind of
Speaker 1: falling behind a little bit. You know.
Speaker 2: It's interesting, Sorry about that's concerned. For me, that was
Speaker 2: Carson Kelly's path. If people remember Carson Kelly was with
Speaker 2: the Cardinals er he was an offensive catcher, and he
Speaker 2: really was kind of behind the eight ball as far
Speaker 2: as who he was defensively, and he ended up spending
Speaker 2: two years hyper focused defensively and lost that bat and
Speaker 2: then was able to kind of turn it back around,
Speaker 2: not to a big degree, but it did set him back.
Speaker 2: The only difference with Kybert that's interesting is this has
Speaker 2: been like a high three hundred hitter in the minor
Speaker 2: league who then the last couple of years adjusted to
Speaker 2: start hitting for power. I'm a little torn on him.
Speaker 2: I don't know either way. Like what I like is
Speaker 2: it's not a crazy cost but it's still like a
Speaker 2: top ten cost a catcher, and I think it's top
Speaker 2: two hundred overall.
Speaker 1: Seven he's seven catchers, Yeah, I don't know, seven overall.
Speaker 1: In the expert consensus rankings on Fantasy Pros, he's won
Speaker 1: seventy five overall and he's going the same place as
Speaker 1: Tyler Stevenson, Mitch Garver, Gary Sanchez, Travis Darnault. Like, I
Speaker 1: just don't see a whole lot of separation there.
Speaker 2: Yeah, totally, there's a big.
Speaker 1: Drop off between our show and Contreras is about fifty
Speaker 1: picks until you get to Ruiz. But I just feel
Speaker 1: like people will look at that and say, oh, I'll
Speaker 1: just take Ruiz later because he's got this upside. But really,
Speaker 1: you know, once you get over there, they're all kind
Speaker 1: of the same, and there's a downside to the young catcher.
Speaker 1: The downside is is he calling the right game, is he,
Speaker 1: you know, getting the feel for the pitching staff and
Speaker 1: all the other relief pitchers. He's got to manage you
Speaker 1: and understand, there's just a lot for a young catcher,
Speaker 1: especially you know, early in his career, to take on
Speaker 1: and sometimes you just don't see that bat come right away.
Speaker 1: And you're right, he was always a good contact guy.
Speaker 1: The power's come a little later. But he's only twenty
Speaker 1: three years old this year, so you know, we could say, well,
Speaker 1: he's just growing into the power. That's fair. But it's
Speaker 1: just not a player that I'm probably gonna take because
Speaker 1: I think there's just more risks than people realize. So
Speaker 1: let's go to first base here. Who is a player
Speaker 1: at first base that's going to make your all bust
Speaker 1: team Welsh?
Speaker 2: All right? So this one is in the same vein again,
Speaker 2: a lot of these are going to be in the
Speaker 2: same vein as I was kind of looking through these again.
Speaker 2: You know you look, you talk about relative value, and
Speaker 2: you're just like, I don't know, you know, I I
Speaker 2: like these top guys obviously if I can get vlad
Speaker 2: or Freeman or Olson, and then if I miss out,
Speaker 2: and I'm usually going to kind of wait towards the
Speaker 2: back end. I have a heavy target on a guy
Speaker 2: like let's say Joey Vado or CJ. Crohn. But there's
Speaker 2: a guy that's going ahead of them that just kind
Speaker 2: of jumps out to me, and he's right at the
Speaker 2: cusp of top one hundred, and it's Ryan Mountcastle. Who
Speaker 2: I'm gonna put is my bust here. There's a couple
Speaker 2: of reasons. You also have the fences being moved back
Speaker 2: a little bit, which helps a guy like John Means
Speaker 2: does not necessarily help any of these guys. If you
Speaker 2: chop off and lop off a little bit of that power,
Speaker 2: you know, there's some of that upside. But here's the
Speaker 2: next big thing with him, you know, contact to power
Speaker 2: with the Orioles. I mean, it's a decent it was
Speaker 2: a decent park to hit in. It's a tough division,
Speaker 2: I think overall, especially pitching wise, and this is a
Speaker 2: young bat, but look at the guys that are going
Speaker 2: below him on the consensus ranks as far as Fantasy
Speaker 2: pros go. You have Rehee Hoskins, Joey Vado, even Jake
Speaker 2: crona Worth, Josh Bell down there. And I'm sorting it
Speaker 2: by first base, but a lot of times you are
Speaker 2: going to see c. J. Kron going pretty and Jared
Speaker 2: Walsh going below Ryan Mountcastle. So for to reach for
Speaker 2: a guy where they also just moved the ballpark parameters
Speaker 2: a little bit back that could suppress a little bit power,
Speaker 2: not a whole lot of help, tough division, all of
Speaker 2: those things to pay up for him, and passing on
Speaker 2: guys like are waiting on guys like Joey Vado or CJ.
Speaker 2: Kron It doesn't make sense to me. So based on
Speaker 2: that value, I think we're gonna look back and go, man,
Speaker 2: can you believe we took Mountcastle and we passed on
Speaker 2: Max Munsey because of the injury, or we passed on CJ.
Speaker 2: Crohn in Colorado? So I'll take Ryan Mountcastle.
Speaker 1: You could basically copy and paste your argument for my
Speaker 1: guy and Maltcastle was one that I had circled to
Speaker 1: potentially to name, and I'm glad you name him because
Speaker 1: I feel exactly the same way as DJ Lemayhew, who is, yeah,
Speaker 1: I know, very tantalizing because he qualifies the different positions.
Speaker 1: I'm not exactly sure where the confidence level is for
Speaker 1: the Yankees too, when they brought an Ikfair two. I
Speaker 1: don't know if it's a matter of well, if G.
Speaker 1: Labor Torres starts to hit again and le Maayhew doesn't,
Speaker 1: does le Mayhew lose playing time? I don't know. I
Speaker 1: think there's a lot there, and the guys you mentioned there,
Speaker 1: Vadal Walsh, Reese Hoskins, CJ. Cron all going after them.
Speaker 1: Because right now Mountcastle's at one to eleven overall, the
Speaker 1: twelfth first basement off the board. Kyle Schwarber is the
Speaker 1: thirteenth at won twelve. That's no brain. I take Schwarber
Speaker 1: over Mont Castle a no brainer, and I take him
Speaker 1: over DJ Lemayhew every time. So for me, it's just
Speaker 1: if there's a guy in that range I like at Schwarber,
Speaker 1: and then after that range, I'd rather just wait another
Speaker 1: ten to thirty picks and get one of those other guys,
Speaker 1: because I feel like it's just not going to be
Speaker 1: that much of a difference. There's no there's no relative
Speaker 1: position value advantage by reaching for Mountcastle, by reaching for
Speaker 1: le Mayhew, despite the fact that he's got obviously position flexibility,
Speaker 1: which I was huge and everybody loves that. But last
Speaker 1: year was a really Last year was a year that
Speaker 1: looked a lot more like DJ Lemayhew that we knew
Speaker 1: before he got to New York and had that crazy
Speaker 1: season out of nowhere. We had twenty six home runs
Speaker 1: and drove in one hundred runs and scored one hundred runs.
Speaker 1: You know, I understand he was good in the short sample,
Speaker 1: but last year, after twenty twenty and twenty twenty one,
Speaker 1: he came back to Earth and looked a lot more
Speaker 1: like the dude we saw in Colorado all those years.
Speaker 2: You know, It's funny. If you want position flexibility with
Speaker 2: decent bats, you go get Jake Cronaworth and Typhrance. Those
Speaker 2: are the new DJ Lemayhew's here. This is a nice park.
Speaker 2: But earlier in the season we were taking a look
Speaker 2: over and in this league at DJ lem Mayhew on
Speaker 2: the bat x as Derek Carty's projection system. Projections are
Speaker 2: on everything, but over fangrafts you can check out lots
Speaker 2: of different ones atc Ario. Who you've had on is
Speaker 2: a good aggregate I like to follow. I think the
Speaker 2: bad X does a really good job on hitters. And
Speaker 2: we were looking at also comparing a lot of the
Speaker 2: different projections, and at that time the bad X had
Speaker 2: dj lem Mayhew projected at ten homers. Well, with all
Speaker 2: the new moves, they've now moved down in one hundred
Speaker 2: and twenty nine games just over five hundred at bats,
Speaker 2: the bad X projects dj Lemayhew at nine homers and
Speaker 2: two stolen bases with the two seventy something batting average.
Speaker 2: That's not in that range.
Speaker 1: I mean, love the other guys who can get thirty
Speaker 1: bombs in that range. It's death.
Speaker 2: You literally could close your eyes and pick any other
Speaker 2: first basement and get better production. I think you could.
Speaker 2: I understand why you could buy on the bounce back,
Speaker 2: but I wouldn't. I would rather go France qualifies at
Speaker 2: first as a crona worth I would rather the vodos.
Speaker 2: I agree. If if dj Lemayhew is still going top fifty,
Speaker 2: I think this is a no brainer.
Speaker 1: In the bus category, all right, who's your starting second
Speaker 1: baseman for the All Bus team, mister Welsh.
Speaker 2: All right? So I have loved this guy. And that's
Speaker 2: the caveat to the bus here, because I go through
Speaker 2: the second basement and it's like, who can you not
Speaker 2: like with these players? But I'm gonna give you the reason,
Speaker 2: and it has to do with what this team is
Speaker 2: doing offensively, and I'm gonna go with Jonathan India. And
Speaker 2: I hate hate going with Jonathan India because I really
Speaker 2: do like him. I've targeted him very early on in
Speaker 2: drafts Rookie of the Year. But this team is selling
Speaker 2: off protecting. They got rid of Jesse Winker, who I
Speaker 2: think was a key cog to really a table seter,
Speaker 2: great batting, average guy. You could argue about Johannio Suarez. Yes,
Speaker 2: they've still got Joey Vado for now. I couldn't. I
Speaker 2: don't think I could rattle off the off the outfield
Speaker 2: off the top of my head if you made me
Speaker 2: instantly do it. Outside of like Nick Sinzel and tyler Naquins.
Speaker 2: There's two of them, and Senzel I could name, Yeah,
Speaker 2: I know, I'm maybe Aristidi is Akino. I can't even
Speaker 2: think of it. Right now. But the point is, let's
Speaker 2: go is this is kind of this is one of
Speaker 2: the poor, poor supporting casts for a high dollar guy
Speaker 2: Jonathan India does not come cheap. He comes inside of
Speaker 2: the top seventy five. I think he's s eighty one
Speaker 2: overall on the Fantasy pros consensus rankers right now. A
Speaker 2: top one hundred costs for a guy that has no
Speaker 2: supporting cast, I think is a little bit tough. And
Speaker 2: again you come back to the guys that are coming later.
Speaker 2: Ty France, I think is a cheaper option. Crona Worth
Speaker 2: also qualifies there. Max Munsey is someone who I'm really
Speaker 2: really trying to invest in because peop are still a
Speaker 2: little bit scared off. This really just has to do
Speaker 2: with the supporting cast of what you're gonna get from
Speaker 2: a return basis. Could you still get twenty from India? Sure?
Speaker 2: Who's around him? Is that truly going to dictate maybe
Speaker 2: his power or his batting average? No, not necessarily, but
Speaker 2: it can dictate his run support, and it can dictate
Speaker 2: the guys that are on base for RBI, and maybe
Speaker 2: he starts getting attacked a little bit more offensively by pitchers.
Speaker 2: So I'm a little bit worried about the high cost.
Speaker 2: I've seen him go as high as like the sixties
Speaker 2: and stuff, so I think based on cost, I'm gonna
Speaker 2: pick Jonathan India. But that one it hurts a little bit.
Speaker 1: I hate hate it as well, just the way you did,
Speaker 1: because I like India Alat as a player. But you
Speaker 1: make a really good point. Some of the other names
Speaker 1: out there, just so you know, Showgawakayama still around, Jake Braley,
Speaker 1: Tyler Naquin, Nixon, Zell, Jake Bowers, Albert elmra arist Deazakino,
Speaker 1: your boy, Al Farmer, Kyle Farmer shortstop right now, Donovan Solano,
Speaker 1: Estrubo Cabreer. Yeah, I mean, you're right, it's not a
Speaker 1: good lineup. You gotta hope that Mike Mustakas I guess
Speaker 1: at some point him and Joey Vado is like about it.
Speaker 2: But you know, another great point, another one I would
Speaker 2: have thrown in here and almost did, was like Katell.
Speaker 2: You know, Katl Marte is in that range with Diamondbacks
Speaker 2: or worse at this point. The only difference with Katel
Speaker 2: is that no doubt he's going to get traded during
Speaker 2: the season. Diamondbacks got to move off of him, and
Speaker 2: if he gets traded to you know, any really good team,
Speaker 2: a team like the Yankees or something like that, then
Speaker 2: you're going to be exponentially better. But kaateel is I mean,
Speaker 2: the hard hit is through the roof, if he can
Speaker 2: really start going. He's a high, high contact guy. He
Speaker 2: doesn't steal though, which kind of sucks. But both of
Speaker 2: those guys costs a high dollar. But there is zero
Speaker 2: point zero chance that Jonathan India gets moved to another team.
Speaker 2: Katell definitely will during season. So I'm just the cost
Speaker 2: that you got to pay at second base when there's
Speaker 2: a decent amount of good options. Josel Twove just drops
Speaker 2: like crazy. I think based on that, I can dictate
Speaker 2: him from a draft perspective as a bus and I
Speaker 2: gotta say, as a preamble here I probably would have
Speaker 2: picked had you not.
Speaker 1: Well, I'll pick I'll I'll pick it for you. How's that?
Speaker 1: Jazz Chisholm, who going one pick ahead. Basically in terms
Speaker 1: of what number he is, he's a second basement number eleven.
Speaker 1: India is twelve. He's going at pick number eighty nine.
Speaker 1: India is going at ninety eight, So a few picks
Speaker 1: in between them, but you know, Jazzchism for me, once again,
Speaker 1: he's being drafted because you know, he's a guy that
Speaker 1: steals bases. I understand he was hitting at the top
Speaker 1: of the order this weekend. I get that. I know
Speaker 1: if people get really jazzed about that, and no pun intended,
Speaker 1: but they do, and they should. But there's also a
Speaker 1: huge downside. And I'm looking at second base and I'm
Speaker 1: looking at after that. There's guys like Tommy Edmond. There's
Speaker 1: cronin Worth, who's gonna play a whole lot more with
Speaker 1: Tattise Hurt. As you said, there's Ty Francis, Chris Taylor.
Speaker 1: I love Brandon Rodgers late. I mean he's going at
Speaker 1: pick one point eighty, so almost one hundred picks after
Speaker 1: Jazz Chishlm. There's a player that I like equally to
Speaker 1: Jazz Chism in terms of what can he do for
Speaker 1: my fantasy team overall. And I know Chishom helps you
Speaker 1: so much with someone basses, but if he struggles to
Speaker 1: get on basse and struggles to make contact gets dropped
Speaker 1: in the order right away. He's a guy that could
Speaker 1: get sent down again. So there's a lot of issues there.
Speaker 1: It's a lot more risk, and it's just too much
Speaker 1: risk for me personally. In rotal league. I get it,
Speaker 1: I understand those risks, but for me, I'd rather just
Speaker 1: wait a little bit more for a guy like Rogers.
Speaker 1: Let's stick a quick break in the action to tell
Speaker 1: you about fan Tracks. I want to tell you about

Speaker 1: So get on that again. Go to fantracks dot com
Speaker 1: slash Fantasy pros to enter. Now that's fantracks dot com
Speaker 1: slash fantasy pros. And now back to the action. Let's
Speaker 1: talk about third base here. Well, shed give me a
Speaker 1: player for you at third base that makes that all
Speaker 1: bust team.
Speaker 2: Ah man, Okay, I actually think this one might be
Speaker 2: the toughest, and I think it's weird because this is
Speaker 2: the most garbage position of all of these. Like, you
Speaker 2: can really fall off the table pretty quick from the
Speaker 2: elite guys, and the middle doesn't feel quite as good.
Speaker 2: And you know, there's some guys on the back end
Speaker 2: that you can maybe maybe set your sights on. And
Speaker 2: so here here's ironic. This is gonna be funny. So
Speaker 2: in teut this weekend completely different thing. It's an auction
Speaker 2: points league, so it's a different form formatical type of thing.
Speaker 2: In roster construction of what you're doing. I went very
Speaker 2: heavy pitching, and I went studs and scrubs. I went
Speaker 2: very very heavy hitting with lots of pitching. So I
Speaker 2: had to piece together a whole bunch of these kind
Speaker 2: of black you know, shortstops and third basements. And I
Speaker 2: ended up getting Almoncotta for two dollars. And you all,
Speaker 2: Mancatta is my pick here, and I'm not happy with it.
Speaker 2: But the psychology is one of the reasons why I
Speaker 2: think he's kind of in this bus territory. I wanted
Speaker 2: literally everybody else, But when you look at third base,
Speaker 2: you go through and you go, okay, I want Dever's
Speaker 2: or Machado or Riley. Then you don't get it, and
Speaker 2: then of course you want Chris Bryant now or Aeronato,
Speaker 2: and then it really starts to kind of fall off.
Speaker 2: And then if you're that back end guy, you go, okay,
Speaker 2: I'm gonna I'm gonna sit back and I'm gonna get
Speaker 2: this guy or I'm gonna get that guy, and everybody
Speaker 2: is still paying for the return of Yoan Mancata. The
Speaker 2: problem is he's almost becoming the DJ Lemayhew of this position.
Speaker 2: There's not any upside I know. In Fantasy Pros right now,
Speaker 2: it lists Justin Turner right above. They're right next to
Speaker 2: each other, But in a lot of other platforms and
Speaker 2: drafting platforms, Justin Turner is way lower than Mankada, and
Speaker 2: Justin Turner is a better batting average option, a better
Speaker 2: RBI option, a better home run option, and Moncatta doesn't
Speaker 2: steal anymore. He's projected under twenty homers for the year,
Speaker 2: nothing else significant. He's not even a one category play
Speaker 2: at this point, and in many instances he has to
Speaker 2: be a starter. My situation was a little bit different
Speaker 2: because it was auction and I had to get it
Speaker 2: under four dollars third baseman. But in drafting, don't put
Speaker 2: yourself in the hopes of, oh, I can still get
Speaker 2: Moncatta because of the name value. I would rather have
Speaker 2: Josh Donaldson, who is more than twenty picks lower on
Speaker 2: the overall than him. I would rather have the Key,
Speaker 2: Brian Hayes, Ryan McMahon in Colorado, Luis Orris, I literally
Speaker 2: would have picked any of these players over Moncatta. I
Speaker 2: just think we're about done with Moncatta as a top
Speaker 2: two hundred player, and if you're considering, which a lot
Speaker 2: of rankers are still think he's a bust.
Speaker 1: I completely agree with Moncatta. And I feel like, also,
Speaker 1: there's this there's this prospect luster that always kind of
Speaker 1: sticks with certain guys longer than it should do. You
Speaker 1: get that with Moncatta. I feel like he's one of
Speaker 1: those guys where, yeah, he's he had so much hype
Speaker 1: younger on that he keep waiting and he's getting second
Speaker 1: chances and third chances and four chances, and then he
Speaker 1: you know, he comes out the spring, I want to
Speaker 1: steal more bases, and the next thing, you know, everybody's
Speaker 1: buying back in because of those words. And I think
Speaker 1: that's always frustrating. One.
Speaker 2: I mean, and listen, the guy has over five hundred
Speaker 2: total career games, and he has twenty eight career stolen bases.
Speaker 2: Twenty eight career stolen bases. He stole ten in twenty nineteen,
Speaker 2: but between the pandemic year and last year he stole three.
Speaker 2: He also has twenty combined homers in twenty twenty and
Speaker 2: twenty twenty one, and he's had one twenty home run season. Listen,
Speaker 2: it's it's all relative. We come back to it. Has
Speaker 2: he done positive things, Yes, he's lowered his strikeout rate,
Speaker 2: he's upped his walk rate. He's had a two sixty
Speaker 2: three batting average, which was second best of his career.
Speaker 2: He's just transforming as a player. The problem is is
Speaker 2: it's just not like a target that you want for
Speaker 2: fantasy and there are just better options.
Speaker 1: Like in a salary cap draft, that's fine, Like if
Speaker 1: you have to end up with him for four bucks
Speaker 1: at the sour cap. You can absolutely live with that.
Speaker 2: I got him for two. I got them for two,
Speaker 2: so like that's a great deal. I'm for two bucks.
Speaker 2: But the problem is when Justin Turner or Josh Donaldson
Speaker 2: or Ty Franz or Ryan mcmahoners still on the board,
Speaker 2: he shouldn't be a priority. Regardless of how great that
Speaker 2: lineup is, Moncott is probably gonna, what's my kind of
Speaker 2: get a hit? I don't even know rost the resource
Speaker 2: has him out right now seven. I mean, there's no
Speaker 2: way that Moncott is going to hit above Robert and
Speaker 2: there's and you've got Aloy, You've got a list of
Speaker 2: guys I can't imagine even if he was hitting two.
Speaker 2: He's just not a big power guy. And he hasn't
Speaker 2: shown us the reason why we would take him over
Speaker 2: a lot of these other guys. Justin Turner all day,
Speaker 2: every day.
Speaker 1: For me, all right, my guy at third base at
Speaker 1: the hot corner is gonna be Anthony Rendon. And I
Speaker 1: know this is kind of like shooting fish in a barrel.
Speaker 1: But while she's still a top one hundred player, basically
Speaker 1: like right now in ECR, he's number ninety six. He
Speaker 1: is the tenth third baseman off the board. He's one
Speaker 1: O two overall in the consensus ADP. And when I
Speaker 1: look at Anthony undone, this is the point in time
Speaker 1: of his career where injuries should start, where he should
Speaker 1: physically start breaking down. And I know he had that
Speaker 1: really good window there for a couple years in Washington
Speaker 1: where he started to really turn around and he was
Speaker 1: playing one hundred, you know, one hundred and forty games
Speaker 1: under fifty games, that's what you want. And then last
Speaker 1: year it all came crashing down again, and it just
Speaker 1: scares the heck out of me, and I'm willing to
Speaker 1: add a bigger discount take a shot on Rendon, Like
Speaker 1: if he slips below this one hundred into the one
Speaker 1: twenties or one thirties, That's why I start to go, Okay,
Speaker 1: you know what other people in this draft are afraid.
Speaker 1: I think I'd rather take a shot on Rendon than Mancata.
Speaker 1: But again, there's a forty pick difference between the two
Speaker 1: of them, and I just feel like there's this this
Speaker 1: big name brand value that's attached to him. We just
Speaker 1: talked about Wellcatta having the prospect thing attached to him,
Speaker 1: where Rendon has that all star label attached to him,
Speaker 1: and I just wonder, look where we are right now.
Speaker 1: You know, after Chris Brian goes, Anthony Rendon's the next guy.
Speaker 1: And I think that drop off between Brian and Rendon
Speaker 1: is considerable. And it's only twenty five picks, but it
Speaker 1: feels like way more to me because if Anthony Rendon
Speaker 1: doesn't play significant period of time, if you would plays
Speaker 1: fifty games again, just crushes you. And I just I
Speaker 1: want more of a discount on him. How do you
Speaker 1: feel about Frendon? I'm just a curiosity, like do you
Speaker 1: look at him as a value or another guy you
Speaker 1: just don't want to touch? No.
Speaker 2: See, that's kind of interesting because I kind of like
Speaker 2: Rendon because I think that the injury recently is holding
Speaker 2: him back and this is probably one of the best
Speaker 2: costs you can get at him. But at the same time,
Speaker 2: here's the problem with him is he is the last
Speaker 2: great hope of your third base build.
Speaker 1: So if you miss, that's why he's right there at
Speaker 1: one hundred.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And that's so like I'm a little indifferent about him.
Speaker 2: I definitely could see myself targeting him. I'll tell you
Speaker 2: this though, I'm more than likely going to look at
Speaker 2: that point, if I didn't like, I want Bryant, like
Speaker 2: Chris Bryant's the guy that I want. If I didn't
Speaker 2: get like a Machado, Bryant's probably that last, like really
Speaker 2: big target. And if I didn't get him, I could
Speaker 2: see myself coming down to Rendon and talking myself out
Speaker 2: and saying, well, I will take this closer or this
Speaker 2: starting pitcher that's here, and I'll go get Josh Donaldson
Speaker 2: later and I'll go for that big power, and I
Speaker 2: could talk myself out of him. But I do think
Speaker 2: Rendon like, Okay, here's this Rendon at ninety six or
Speaker 2: Mancata at one thirty six. Overall, that's where they are
Speaker 2: in Fantasy pros right now. Probably still yeah, I would
Speaker 2: go Renton as well.
Speaker 1: And I don't feel great about either of them. But
Speaker 1: third base is that one spot where you're going to
Speaker 1: have to in some drafts just take a shot.
Speaker 2: And that's why he's getting pushed up. By the way.
Speaker 2: I don't think he's getting pushed up because everyone's like, oh, hey,
Speaker 2: Rendon's gonna hit three hundred with thirty plus homers. It's like, no,
Speaker 2: we're moving him up because oh my God, third base
Speaker 2: falls off of a cliff, and you've got to get
Speaker 2: one otherwise you will be stuck with you on Manka.
Speaker 1: And you know what, id's to take one of these
Speaker 1: two guys, Like if I take Rendon or Mancata, I'm
Speaker 1: looking later at getting an Escobar, Spencer, Torklsen, somebody else
Speaker 1: that qualifies there that I think you know is going
Speaker 1: to play a fair amount that I think I feel
Speaker 1: pretty comfortable with because they might have to be in
Speaker 1: my lineup a lot.
Speaker 2: I'll do you one better. Like if I were going
Speaker 2: really really late, I might go like Judo Orchell or
Speaker 2: something now with Minnesota, but I think.
Speaker 1: You're better guy.
Speaker 2: Not enough Bat, I'm not really either, but like that
Speaker 2: would just be one of those guys I if I home,
Speaker 2: if well, see, okay, you're you're in an area that
Speaker 2: I understand. I actually took Bowman Towder as well. But
Speaker 2: if I am going to take one of those guys,
Speaker 2: I actually would rather try to get a Donaldson or
Speaker 2: a Turner. Those those guys I'm telling that you should
Speaker 2: wait to fall back on. Why don't you tag one
Speaker 2: of those guys with it and just cover yourself and
Speaker 2: you can corner infield Donaldson or Turner or Ryan McMahon
Speaker 2: or something like that. But to your point, if you
Speaker 2: had to go a little bit later, I would probably
Speaker 2: prefer less of a risk. If you were to take
Speaker 2: a rindome like Bom is much more of a risk.
Speaker 2: Like I'm looking down at you. You know who's a dude, Avalongoria.
Speaker 2: I've Longoria was like a top fifty player for a
Speaker 2: month and a half before he got hurt. I would
Speaker 2: rather tag a Longoria or something like that.
Speaker 1: All Right, this one's gonna set a lot of people.
Speaker 1: Let's do shortstop here because there's some big names of shortstop.
Speaker 1: It's one of the deeper positions this year. So while
Speaker 1: she was the shortstop the major All Bust team.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I didn't. I don't like doing it because I've
Speaker 2: actually defended this guy. But I'm going to go with
Speaker 2: new destination Corey Seeger. First off, you do have I
Speaker 2: think I feel like we talked about this on an episode.
Speaker 2: I'm just forgetting maybe it was Frank when we had
Speaker 2: Frank Gon. You do have a tendency for guys moving
Speaker 2: to new places to have a little bit of an
Speaker 2: adjustment period and struggle. Corey Seeger has missed all the games.
Speaker 2: I think he's played one hundred and forty games twice
Speaker 2: in his In his career twenty sixteen and seventeen, he
Speaker 2: has played one hundred games once. Since twenty eighteen. He
Speaker 2: has not hit twenty homers. Since twenty seventeen. He has
Speaker 2: a total of twelve career stolen bases, with three of
Speaker 2: those coming over the last three years. And listen, he
Speaker 2: changed the profile of who he was. He was one
Speaker 2: of the big hard hit guys, which was awesome. You
Speaker 2: would start seeing if you would go to a baseball savant,
Speaker 2: you would see on Max ev Corey Seeker has been
Speaker 2: there in the top ten, but it hasn't resulted in
Speaker 2: massive results due to injury as well. So here's my problem.
Speaker 2: You've got a shortstop that's going inside almost almost the
Speaker 2: top fifty, right outside the top fifty, he does not
Speaker 2: steal bases. Who has a track record of being injured
Speaker 2: going to a team that's okay, they got Marcus Simi
Speaker 2: and they don't have a bunch of other great options,
Speaker 2: and of all of those things, it is the deepest
Speaker 2: position of all of them. You can go and get
Speaker 2: Willia Domis or Dansby Swanson and get probably ninety five
Speaker 2: percent of the production. You can get Jorge Polonco, you
Speaker 2: can get Brandon Crawford really late. There's so many guys.
Speaker 2: Almd Rosario, who I keep talking about as kind of
Speaker 2: like a breakout guy. He is a shortstop that you
Speaker 2: can get. You can get more stolen bases in other spots,
Speaker 2: you can build power in other directions. I just don't
Speaker 2: think there's enough to justify for Corey Seeger to be
Speaker 2: going off at like what is he at shortstop on
Speaker 2: Fantasy pros right now?
Speaker 1: He ors right now is the tenth shortstop. He is
Speaker 1: number sixty five overall.
Speaker 2: But see think about that, there are ten short stops
Speaker 2: and he's sixty five overall, and I actually see I'm
Speaker 2: looking I might be looking something tiny bit different. It's
Speaker 2: got him at the ninth shortstop at fifty eight over
Speaker 2: You've got Korea in Minnesota after him. You've got Mandesy
Speaker 2: on the stolen bases. That's the Oh, I'm not even
Speaker 2: looking at the overall right now.
Speaker 1: But yeah, there's just a JDP over there. That's wrong.
Speaker 2: Bobby Witt. You've got Bobby one oars as well. So
Speaker 2: I just don't think justifying that high cost is going
Speaker 2: to pay off, and I think a lot of people
Speaker 2: are going to feel very bustish if he gets up
Speaker 2: with you know, twenty something Homers plays one hundred and
Speaker 2: fifteen games and you spent a top sixty pick on.
Speaker 1: Him, Well, I'm gonna go one more shortstop deeper than well,
Speaker 1: just one though, because that's the same range I think
Speaker 1: is very dangerous. So he took the tenth guy in
Speaker 1: Corey Seeger, I'm gonna take the eleventh guy in Havire Bayaz,
Speaker 1: same kind of deal. You know, when you have these
Speaker 1: guys with big names who signed big contracts, they get
Speaker 1: a lot of publicity. And I'm not saying Howvier Bias
Speaker 1: hasn't been a good player recently. He Has's no doubt
Speaker 1: about that. You love the eighteen stolen bases, that's his
Speaker 1: highest marks in twenty eighteen, when he stole twenty one.
Speaker 1: Typically he's more around that eleven or twelve range, So
Speaker 1: this was a big bump for him. He had two
Speaker 1: sixty five last year, pretty good. I mean, he's that
Speaker 1: guy who's got a lot of swing and missing and
Speaker 1: we all know that there's a lot of you know,
Speaker 1: the true outcomes in Hobby or Baiaz that we understand
Speaker 1: and we kind of, you know, we get and if
Speaker 1: you look last year, you know he played for the
Speaker 1: Mets and the Cups, two offenses that certainly struggled at times.
Speaker 1: He had a run scored in eighty seven RBI, hit
Speaker 1: thirty one home runs. He's moving to a Tiger team
Speaker 1: that's still in transition. They have some good young talent coming,
Speaker 1: the Greens and the Torco Sen's of the world are coming,
Speaker 1: but we don't know what they're gonna do when they
Speaker 1: get there and when they're gonna get there specifically, so
Speaker 1: bias to me, for the same reasons that Welsh is
Speaker 1: concerned with Seeger, I'd rather have Polanco a little cheaper,
Speaker 1: maybe take a shot on Korea, Bobby witt Dan's responsor
Speaker 1: all those guys. To me, I'm looking at Hobby Bayaz.
Speaker 1: Is that transition into a different place, transition to learning
Speaker 1: some new pictures in the American League Central And to me,
Speaker 1: it's just not a good investment. I don't like where
Speaker 1: he's at sixty nine. Overall, I'd rather wait ten more
Speaker 1: picks and take quar Hee Polonko. Your thoughts on Bayaz yeah.
Speaker 2: I mean I think it kind of sits in the
Speaker 2: same area. I think I'd probably rather have bias than
Speaker 2: at this point, because the one thing you are getting
Speaker 2: is at least you're getting the stolen bases. But I
Speaker 2: think it's kind of a similar thing, like there's.
Speaker 1: Not lot eighteen or you're getting ten.
Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, well I think bias, I think, but
Speaker 2: Bias has got that upside of like twenty stolen bases,
Speaker 2: where Secer has the upside of two. Like that's it. So,
Speaker 2: but I don't really want either one of these guys.
Speaker 2: I think they both fall in. You've got a new destination,
Speaker 2: You've got an okay lineup that's surrounded by bias. He's
Speaker 2: also very finicky. You know, I've talked to you mentioned
Speaker 2: jazz earlier. Jazz is the poor man's hobby bias where
Speaker 2: they're very, very streaky, And I think you gotta be
Speaker 2: careful too about these streetcats. Maybe the one thing that
Speaker 2: Corey Seeger has when he's actually playing, he's relatively consistent.
Speaker 2: You could have a month where Hobby Baias hits a
Speaker 2: buck eighty nine, no homers and maybe one stolen base,
Speaker 2: and then you can have a month where he hits
Speaker 2: three ten with six homers and seven stolen bases. I
Speaker 2: mean he can pop off. Those are fun sometimes, but
Speaker 2: they're also the volatility really can screw with your team,
Speaker 2: especially if you're playing head to head, you're playing roto
Speaker 2: you can kind ofge through it a little bit. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I agree with you. I'm just I'm a little indifferent.
Speaker 2: I don't know if I would target him as a bust.
Speaker 2: But the problem is, if you were to look down
Speaker 2: the shortstops, there's probably three or four really that you
Speaker 2: could pinpoint, and I think both of those guys are them.
Speaker 2: I think Avey baia Is with his volatility, Corey Seeger
Speaker 2: with you know, injuries and lack of stolen bases. You
Speaker 2: probably throw Jazz in there as well. There's not a
Speaker 2: lot of guys were.
Speaker 1: A big contract, the burden of that and living up
Speaker 1: to that, the new city, the new town, the new adjustment.
Speaker 1: There is a lot. It's very rare we get a
Speaker 1: guy that just out of the gate, just just you know,
Speaker 1: gangbusters for a new team after a huge contract. Typically
Speaker 1: even Bryce Harper a couple of years ago, right, it
Speaker 1: was a little slow star. People were, you know, bitching
Speaker 1: and moaning about that next thing. You know, Bryce Harper
Speaker 1: is winning MVPs a year later, So what are you
Speaker 1: gonna do? All right, let's go to the outfield here,
Speaker 1: another fun one. So who is your all bust outfielder?
Speaker 2: Well, I mean this might have been even harder than shortstops,
Speaker 2: and I just want.
Speaker 1: To I feel like we're gonna get mad at each other. Yeah, well,
Speaker 1: I'm mad at yours, and I know you're gonna be
Speaker 1: mad at mine.
Speaker 2: Joe. Joe is trying to gaslight me with his He's
Speaker 2: an absolute gas light mine. Mine is it's kind of
Speaker 2: about the paying for last year thing. That's It's exactly
Speaker 2: what it is. It's about paying last year's stats for
Speaker 2: this year. Have a burger today tomorrow. What was that?
Speaker 2: Remember the i'll pay.
Speaker 1: You for I'll gladly pay you tuesday, but I have.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's how I kind of feel about reference on
Speaker 2: the show. I mean, no, no, that it was. It
Speaker 2: wasn't Popeye, it was Oh.
Speaker 1: Gosh, that's I doesn't say it's the the other guy
Speaker 1: to not Blueto. It's the other guy with the hat,
Speaker 1: the chibby guy. I don't know.
Speaker 2: Wait, hold on, I just found it. It was wimpy.
Speaker 2: It was wimpy. We glad they pay you Tuesday for
Speaker 2: a hamburger today. It was wimpy with the show.
Speaker 1: I know what I'm talking about.
Speaker 2: Oh was it really?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 2: I mean you're older than me. You're older than me.
Speaker 2: I'm very young. I have very young references.
Speaker 1: That's right. We used to play with Kalidis Gopes and
Speaker 1: kick cans down the street. It was fun to go
Speaker 1: to the baseball game.
Speaker 2: Mitch Haniger, maybe a little twilight of his career, thirty
Speaker 2: years old, hit thirty nine homers for the Mariners. Before that,
Speaker 2: he had only one. Actually, I guess he in two
Speaker 2: seasons he had combined, I had forty one homers between
Speaker 2: twenty nineteen and twenty eighteen. Didn't play in twenty twenty.
Speaker 2: He lowered a strikeout rate a little bit Lord's walk rate.
Speaker 2: His ISO was about on target. He just made better
Speaker 2: contact than the ball did fly. But of the five
Speaker 2: career seasons he's played, this is absolutely the outlier. And
Speaker 2: to be fair, it's not like CJ. M. Cedric Mullins,
Speaker 2: where you're paying like top thirty five overall for a
Speaker 2: guy that had just an absolute breakout. You are paying
Speaker 2: right inside the top one hundred, but you're still paying
Speaker 2: a top one hundred cost on an outfielder whom I
Speaker 2: think is around a lot of other guys that I
Speaker 2: would rather put my target in one position above on
Speaker 2: the Fantasy pros ADP Jean Carlos stanton Is and I
Speaker 2: would rather have Jean Carlos stand his new teammate Jesse Winker,
Speaker 2: much rather bet on Jesse Winker with a high contact
Speaker 2: in Seattle. Even in Seattle, I think we're I know
Speaker 2: you're looking at power suppression. Everyone's looking at power suppression.
Speaker 2: I think Jesse Winker is going to be the crime spot.
Speaker 1: In the lineup power hitter in his career ever. But
Speaker 1: he's been a high high last year for him.
Speaker 2: But he's been a massive contact type of guy. I
Speaker 2: have a problem believing Mitch Handiger is a going to
Speaker 2: stay completely healthy though if he eaches, that's going to
Speaker 2: help and be able to maintain the stats. Bat X
Speaker 2: has his power projection down to thirty one homers off
Speaker 2: of the thirty nine. Bat X also has in the
Speaker 2: eighties to run an RBI and a sub two fifty
Speaker 2: batting average, And again you look at the outfielders that
Speaker 2: are around him. I would rather have Winker, I'd rather
Speaker 2: have Stand, I'd rather have Schwarber. God, if he qualified,
Speaker 2: I'd rather have franmil Reyis. I don't think it's an exorbitant,
Speaker 2: crazy cost, but I think based on paying a top
Speaker 2: one hundred, you know, overall pick, I think we're going
Speaker 2: to be disappointed at the end of the day with
Speaker 2: who we passed up for. Mitch Haniger, so I'm to say,
Speaker 2: min Channager.
Speaker 1: It's fair. I think there's a drop off right around
Speaker 1: one hundred, though, too, where it's fran Bille's Koleshwarber, it's Winker,
Speaker 1: it's Hanneger, And I like all those guys right about there,
Speaker 1: kind of like the last one I can get if
Speaker 1: that makes sense. Sure, it's like like, I like them all,
Speaker 1: but give me the who was going last? Okay, that guy,
Speaker 1: I think that's.
Speaker 2: Say something awful now, Joe, you're gonna be Jo's gonna
Speaker 2: be awful. It is a horrible pick. This is his
Speaker 2: worst decision of the season, worst bus. I hate it.
Speaker 2: I hate it.
Speaker 1: Take ever, I don't want it to be you do,
Speaker 1: I don't I take I take no joy in this though.
Speaker 1: There's zero joy in Mudville for me taking Byron Buxton
Speaker 1: as my boss. He's up to number fifty six overall.
Speaker 1: Right now, he's the seventeenth outfielder steal and I've stuck
Speaker 1: up for Bucks. I was mister Buckston last year. Okay,
Speaker 1: oh you were mister Buxton. I was mister Buckston on
Speaker 1: the Breakout Show last year. Go back and listen to it.
Speaker 1: I was all in. He did get nineteen home runs,
Speaker 1: he stole nine bases, but he only laid sixty one
Speaker 1: games and before that obviously shortened season twenty twenty. Can't
Speaker 1: make too much of that twenty nineteen eighty seven games,
Speaker 1: twenty eighteen, twenty eight games he played one hundred and
Speaker 1: forty and twenty seventeen and before that ninety two. Look,
Speaker 1: enough is enough. I mean, I'm not saying he doesn't
Speaker 1: have that kind of incredible roto talent that can win
Speaker 1: you a league. It's just do I want to take
Speaker 1: him over George Springer or Randy rose Arena or Chris
Speaker 1: Bryant or can Tell Marte and I don't. I don't
Speaker 1: feel confident enough that I'm gonna get enough volume. I
Speaker 1: think the quality's gonna be there. I think the power
Speaker 1: speed combination is going to be there, But the problem
Speaker 1: is Byron Buckson's never there. And it's okay to take
Speaker 1: this risk. I'm not saying you can't do it, you
Speaker 1: should never do it. What I'm saying is, when a
Speaker 1: bust is staring us in the face as a guy
Speaker 1: who continuously lets us down every single year, why do
Speaker 1: we keep coming back to it year after year after year.
Speaker 1: It's like we're, you know, just banging our heads against
Speaker 1: the ball here, and this could be the year, but
Speaker 1: it is the same thing we said last year and
Speaker 1: the same thing we said the year before, and I'm
Speaker 1: just tired of saying it.
Speaker 2: Are you defined insanity right now? Are you defining insanity
Speaker 2: as Byron buxs sanity?
Speaker 1: Here's insanity. Would you rather have a player, okay, going
Speaker 1: at pick number ninety overall, who came off the season
Speaker 1: last year of twenty four home runs, ninety rbi, ninety
Speaker 1: three runs, scored, five steals, and a three zero two
Speaker 1: batting average. Would rather have that player or Byron bucks Buckston? Okay,
Speaker 1: you're wrong because the other players Brian Reynolds and that's
Speaker 1: my dude, Boxton.
Speaker 2: What does my shirt say right now? Joe what's my
Speaker 2: shirt say?
Speaker 1: It says mistake, because yeah, that's you, your nipples, that's it.
Speaker 2: I am almost covering up by nipples, but it says mistake.
Speaker 2: It is a Bob Rosch. I'm wearing a Bob ross Shure, right,
Speaker 2: but I but you are.
Speaker 1: I think of happy accidents. I feel like that's pretty
Speaker 1: much the theme of Byron Bucks's career, happys that land
Speaker 1: him on the IL.
Speaker 2: I just want to point out bad X has only
Speaker 2: projected one hundred and twenty two games for him, which
Speaker 2: you know that kind of leads to you. But in
Speaker 2: those one hundred and twenty two.
Speaker 1: Games, generous Welsh, that's generous.
Speaker 2: Ah, I get out of here with your non generous
Speaker 2: thirty homers and sixteen stolen base is in only those
Speaker 2: one hundred and twenty two games? I ask you, what if?
Speaker 2: And that's why I take Buxton. What if he were
Speaker 2: to play those one forty that's a first it's a
Speaker 2: first round talent.
Speaker 1: You're not wrong. But I've I've heard this commercial before
Speaker 1: for Byron Buxton, and I keep having to send it
Speaker 1: back because it's some sort of you know, factory defect,
Speaker 1: and I keep having to return it on Amazon and
Speaker 1: go to Cole's because I can't return it thraight through Amazon.
Speaker 1: Now I got to go to Cole's and do it,
Speaker 1: and then they give you Cole's cash back, and that's great.
Speaker 1: I love the Coles cash, but what am I gonna
Speaker 1: do with it? I gotta go spend it on Brian Reynolds.
Speaker 2: I look, shouldn't it be a crime that Cole's cash
Speaker 2: has an expiration date? By the way, and absolutely it
Speaker 2: is a crime.
Speaker 1: Ryme.
Speaker 2: You know what next president? They need to run on
Speaker 2: that platform. No expiration date on Cole's cash, and I
Speaker 2: think they got the country.
Speaker 1: I just learned this a few months ago. You can
Speaker 1: spend Cole's cash up to ten days after the expiration date.
Speaker 1: Did you know that?
Speaker 2: What's the point of an expiration date? Then that's what
Speaker 2: I said, what are we talking about here?
Speaker 1: And they said I asked him? I said, I said, oh,
Speaker 1: it expired to go Oh no, no, it's okay. It's
Speaker 1: still good for ten days after the day. I was
Speaker 1: like ten days.
Speaker 2: They trained like, give me a bigger windows. They're like
Speaker 2: they smell it, they smell the closes, are like, yeah,
Speaker 2: it still smells good. You can have ten more days
Speaker 2: after the expiration. What are you talking trying to do?
Speaker 1: They're trying to get you back in the store in
Speaker 1: seven days that day. Just want to keep coming back,
Speaker 1: and then you.
Speaker 2: Earn more calls a scam.
Speaker 1: You go spend it on Byron Buckston and it's a.
Speaker 2: Scam, like taking Brian Reynolds over Buckston. It's a scam.
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, dude, like, you're not wrong. He could
Speaker 1: be that dude. I'm so sick of that he could.
Speaker 2: The injury price will happen there.
Speaker 1: I will have a ton of DFS lineups. Man. Oh,
Speaker 1: when that guy's on and playing in lineup, I'm in.
Speaker 1: He's going to start a ton of DFS lineups for me.
Speaker 1: I just don't want him in season long formats anymore.
Speaker 1: I've had it, not at that cost anyway. All right,
Speaker 1: let's get to the pictures that made our list. Who
Speaker 1: are your two arms that you are officially anointing as
Speaker 1: busts for twenty twenty two.
Speaker 2: Well, one of them I just kind of followed your
Speaker 2: path here, But the top one, you're kind of going
Speaker 2: to see a trend if I'm going to really pick
Speaker 2: out bus here, And I went with Luis Castillo. Luis
Speaker 2: first off, has absolutely no support. If he were to
Speaker 2: be traded, that would be a positive, but the team
Speaker 2: said they don't want to trade him. They don't, they
Speaker 2: will not they don't want to trade him, they will
Speaker 2: not trade him. So he's stuck in this no man's
Speaker 2: land of no real run support, not a great ballpark
Speaker 2: to pitch. Also, typically last he.
Speaker 1: Gets traded mid season, like July to the Yankees or
Speaker 1: something like that.
Speaker 2: I think it's possibility, but the cost is pretty high.
Speaker 2: In the last two years, he's consistently been really poor
Speaker 2: first half. He's at a four ERA in the first half
Speaker 2: of both of the last two years. He's found himself
Speaker 2: a tiny bit, a tiny bit when he can get going,
Speaker 2: But I just don't think again it's it's rinse and repeat.
Speaker 2: And I apologize for being kind of rinse and repeat
Speaker 2: he here in some of my takes, But you know
Speaker 2: this is going to be the formula of how I'm
Speaker 2: going to pinpoint some of these guys. This is a
Speaker 2: guy that is just about top seventy five. He's one
Speaker 2: pick next to Joe Musgrove. Now Musgrove is ahead of him.
Speaker 2: I would take Joe Musgrove twenty picks than I would
Speaker 2: Louis Castillo, and they're next to each other. Even after
Speaker 2: With Luis Castillo you get guys like no, not at all,
Speaker 2: but you get Cease and Darvish. I would rather not
Speaker 2: take Castillo and wait almost two rounds to get Darvish
Speaker 2: or around to get Cease or Verlander, any Cortless, Redona,
Speaker 2: San Francis, Rodonda, San Francisco. I'd rather go those guys.
Speaker 2: I just if you're in a wins league and he's
Speaker 2: not gonna have a lot of wins, maybe I'll have
Speaker 2: some quality starts. He's typically started off kind of bad.
Speaker 2: What's the upside of getting to June and then him
Speaker 2: starting to piece it together When I think you'd have
Speaker 2: more consistent pictures, I'm gonna pass, and I think at
Speaker 2: the cost, this might be this might be the final
Speaker 2: hurrah that Luis Castillo firmly and tied that inside the
Speaker 2: top seventy five. And then the other one was Chris Saale.
Speaker 2: I kind of had a hard time picking these. You've
Speaker 2: got a couple injured ones that you're picking here. If
Speaker 2: you are taking Chris Sale right now, that's a mistake.
Speaker 2: I don't even see where the ADP is. Yeah, the
Speaker 2: ADP I don't think has adjusted. Yeah, it hasn't adjusted.
Speaker 2: It's still has him inside the top seventy five to
Speaker 2: nineteenth overall pitcher. That rib injury that he's got, he's
Speaker 2: not gonna throw for a couple of weeks. It could
Speaker 2: be months. It could I mean, it could be up
Speaker 2: to six months at worst, it could be three months
Speaker 2: on a typical. Maybe he comes back early. They've already
Speaker 2: babied him. They're gonna want him for the playoffs. Maybe
Speaker 2: they opener him with nursing an injury. Again, it's just
Speaker 2: bad news. It's the worst news you could get for
Speaker 2: Chris Sale. He's a complete avoid for me at this point.
Speaker 2: Sale went for like dude, he went for like four
Speaker 2: bucks or three bucks in tout this past weekend, so
Speaker 2: nobody was interested in paying.
Speaker 1: No, and where they should they be. It's a bad investment,
Speaker 1: which stinks. I mean, it's good for you know, the
Speaker 1: Hows of the world and Witlocks and some of those
Speaker 1: guys who are gonna have rotation opportunities. But I'm just
Speaker 1: I'm taking our good friend Scott Bogin's approach. If you're
Speaker 1: hurt before the season starts. I don't want anything to
Speaker 1: do with you. It's already at a deficit. It's really bad. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and for me because of that, two guys for me
Speaker 1: is Jack Flaherty, who I know, you know. He said, well,
Speaker 1: I've dealt with this, you know, slight tear of my
Speaker 1: shoulder for years and it was just a ma thing
Speaker 1: and now he fixed the mechanical thing. Great story, bro,
Speaker 1: I love it. I don't want anything to do with it.
Speaker 1: He might come back and be totally fine in a
Speaker 1: couple of weeks. I don't want to take that chance.
Speaker 1: He's had injuries before, and this is an injury we
Speaker 1: already no exists, So I already know that I'm on
Speaker 1: a ticking time bomb anyway, and I still got to
Speaker 1: pay a pretty good freight to get Jack Flaherty regardless,
Speaker 1: because everything is, you know, Sonny in Saint Louis right
Speaker 1: now with all the news coming out. And then the
Speaker 1: other one's Lance mccolors, who's got a history of elbow problems,
Speaker 1: who's got a flexer tendans train right now, and I
Speaker 1: love the talent, like going into the year, mccollor's is
Speaker 1: one of my YEP. I'm gonna get all the shares
Speaker 1: of Lance mccoors, and you know what, right now, I'm
Speaker 1: probably gonna have none. And mccolors right now is going
Speaker 1: all the way at one forty five right next to
Speaker 1: Adam Wainwright, HEYDWARDO. Rodriguez. I'd rather have a Dward Rodriguez
Speaker 1: and Lance mccolors right now, easily. And as far as Flaherty,
Speaker 1: he's still going right now is the top one hundred guy.
Speaker 1: He's going picture number twenty five, montass cees U Darvish,
Speaker 1: Alec Manoa, Trevor Rodgers, who I absolutely love. I'll take
Speaker 1: Trevor Rogers for Jack Flaherty every single day of the
Speaker 1: week and twice yes Sunday. I'm just going to all right,
Speaker 1: last but possibly least the reliever. So who is going
Speaker 1: to not close things out for our bust team? And
Speaker 1: I know we want two different directions on this song
Speaker 1: we did. I want to hear yours and then I've
Speaker 1: got a whole different take from mine.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I get where you were going with yours. I
Speaker 2: see reliever. I'm thinking closer and I pinpointed the one
Speaker 2: closer is still like in the early on stages of
Speaker 2: US like, oh, we're gonna have baseball, and we're doing
Speaker 2: mock drafts. Everybody is fighting over closers, and there's this
Speaker 2: one closer that kept going high because it was like, well,
Speaker 2: we know this guy's job, and there's these others twelve
Speaker 2: that don't have jobs. Everything has become more clear, and
Speaker 2: I have to say my bust would be the cost
Speaker 2: of Mark Mullanson inside the top one fifty. Mark mllanson currently,
Speaker 2: as far as relievers go, reliever closers is the twelfth
Speaker 2: overall guy. Yes, he saved a bunch of games lists
Speaker 2: last year, but he is with the Arizona Diamondbacks. Their
Speaker 2: offense is going to suck. They're not going to win games.
Speaker 2: Here's the other problem. I mean the amount of times
Speaker 2: he's starting pitchers have not had the proper run support
Speaker 2: to even get in there. His mind boggling. Yes, they
Speaker 2: help themselves bring in a guy like I and Kennedy
Speaker 2: to kind of shore up. Maybe if they were to
Speaker 2: have actual runs that they could maybe carry it into
Speaker 2: the ninth. I don't see how Mark mlanson is going
Speaker 2: to get a whole boatload of saves plus prime trade candidate.
Speaker 2: This is Diamondbacks one oh one, you go and draft
Speaker 2: a relatively cheap bullpen arm or even player, and you
Speaker 2: trade them at the deadline for future assets. They're not
Speaker 2: winning anything. All they're doing is just trying to pretend
Speaker 2: like they're trying to win games so they can stack
Speaker 2: cash into the whole. You know, new agreement, Milance is
Speaker 2: gonna get traded, and he's gonna get traded to a
Speaker 2: place where he's not safe. He's not getting saved. So
Speaker 2: the back half of the year I don't expect saves.
Speaker 2: The front half, it's all going to be one of
Speaker 2: the worst teams in baseball with no big, real safe chances.
Speaker 2: Maybe he'll have a couple of weeks, dude, I'm telling you,
Speaker 2: if the Diamondbacks pull out some wins early on and
Speaker 2: Mark Mullanson, let's say gets five saves in two weeks,
Speaker 2: sell him immediately. It's a bad, bad spot. He's not
Speaker 2: a bad, bad closer, but it's a bad spot. So
Speaker 2: that is a bust for me, and it's gonna look gross.
Speaker 2: I think at the end of the year, when you
Speaker 2: look at the costs that some of you guys paid
Speaker 2: on Milanson.
Speaker 1: For me, it's hazus Lozardo. Everybody loves the guys that
Speaker 1: have dual eligibility, Right, you have that SP potentially who
Speaker 1: qualifies an RP and those deeper leagues, but mandatory RP
Speaker 1: slots could be tough. But this was a guy with
Speaker 1: a six ERA last year. I know he was a
Speaker 1: can't miss prospect. That it happened sometimes sometimes they missed.
Speaker 1: Maybe he'll find himself again, but I'm not gonna I'm
Speaker 1: not gonna pay to find out like i'd rather him.
Speaker 1: I hope he does find himself somewhere else, and I
Speaker 1: hope he does it on someone else's team because it's
Speaker 1: not gonna be online. So I'm rooting for hazus Lozardo,
Speaker 1: but I'm not trying to write stories here about comebacks.
Speaker 1: I'm trying to win championships. And I know he's dirt cheap,
Speaker 1: you know, I get that in terms of overall we're
Speaker 1: talking about two eighty three. But you know what Kakuchi
Speaker 1: and Corey klueber around there as far as starting pitchers, right,
Speaker 1: So maybe I'll take a.
Speaker 2: Shot at one of the I like Thinkkukuchi.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but I'm saying is I'd rather have one of
Speaker 1: those guys on my roster than try to like be
Speaker 1: fancy and say, oh, you know what, I'm going to
Speaker 1: take this guy because he qualifies a URP two and
Speaker 1: you know what, maybe he gets the maybe he does,
Speaker 1: maybe he gets right. But you know what, there's guys
Speaker 1: like Danelson Lamett at the relief spot I think are
Speaker 1: worth more of an opportunity. There's a couple of other
Speaker 1: relievers to the Ashby's of the world that I think
Speaker 1: are interesting that maybe I want to have on my roster.
Speaker 2: Maybe, Oh that's the options. That's a great point, like
Speaker 2: the only format I really look at it well. I
Speaker 2: mean I shouldn't say that if you have strict RP
Speaker 2: uh stuff, then sure you can manipulate it. Aaron Ashby
Speaker 2: is a prime example and a perfect guy that they're
Speaker 2: stretching out to try to give a rotation spot too
Speaker 2: that you can then manipulate that RP spot. I would
Speaker 2: rather have him than Lezardo points. I think Lazarta makes
Speaker 2: a little bit more sense again, like you don't love
Speaker 2: to take closers in points, and if you can use
Speaker 2: those spots for like Michael Kopek might be the number
Speaker 2: one like relief picture if you're playing that game this year.
Speaker 2: The poster child for this, Yeah, you want to take
Speaker 2: I could see Lozardo in points. There's no other format
Speaker 2: I really want, even if I'm trying to manipulate, even
Speaker 2: if I'm trying to be like, oh, I'm gonna punt
Speaker 2: saves and head to head and I'm gonna use those
Speaker 2: rps for starters, Lizardo's not the guy. It would be.
Speaker 2: Kopek and Ashby would be like probably one and two
Speaker 2: of what I would try to piece together.
Speaker 1: So I agree with you, agreed, So there you have it.
Speaker 1: Those are the all bust guys. My team Kybert Release,
Speaker 1: dj le Mayhew at first, jass Echizabet second, Rendon at third,
Speaker 1: Hove your bias at short, Buston in the outfield, playing
Speaker 1: all three spots, then Flaherty, mccullors and Lozardo, Welsh, has
Speaker 1: Mondi Grondal, Ryan Malcastle, Jonathan India, yoa Mancata, Corey Seeger,
Speaker 1: Mitch Hanneger, Luis Gestillo, Chrissel and Mark Millanson.
Speaker 2: So mine looks a lot more baseball. Mine looks Mine
Speaker 2: looks a little uh like a little bit more intense.
Speaker 2: My list looks like like I think people are gonna
Speaker 2: get a little bit more mad. About mine, like I
Speaker 2: look at yours.
Speaker 1: I've got Baia's and Rendon and Buxton, so.
Speaker 2: I oh but no, Buxton should get people upset about that.
Speaker 2: I'm just saying I look at mine and it's like, oh,
Speaker 2: well's put himself out there a little bit more. I
Speaker 2: might get yelled at it.
Speaker 1: We have to go find the over under for Buckston
Speaker 1: Games and have a little side bed side back. You'll
Speaker 1: have to figure that out. Maybe we'll figure that on
