Here is 0:00:55.720 --> 0:00:59.960 Frank stamfle I'm Greg sauceman. Frank, Greg, I was taking 0:01:00.000 --> 0:01:03.240 ahead of you, I noticed, right alright, like an exaggerated 0:01:03.280 --> 0:01:06.759 one after yesterday's bottle. What's going on? Man? Happy Thursday? 0:01:06.760 --> 0:01:09.720 Here to talk about the first base position for fantasy baseball, 0:01:10.240 --> 0:01:12.720 not nearly the position that it once was. Greg. But 0:01:12.760 --> 0:01:15.000 before we do all of that, I do sleep last night, 0:01:15.040 --> 0:01:18.240 but I sleep very very well, very well. Greg's getting 0:01:18.240 --> 0:01:22.640 a good night of sleep outside of obviously the Judy debacle. Um, 0:01:22.680 --> 0:01:25.959 but last night it's love great. I really like making up, 0:01:25.959 --> 0:01:30.920 feeling refreshed. It's awesome. Nice. No trouble in paradise, huh, 0:01:31.640 --> 0:01:34.600 No trouble in paradise, sleeping well. Things are good. Feeling good, 0:01:34.680 --> 0:01:38.440 feeling strong might not be too good if you're Garrett cold. Greg, 0:01:38.920 --> 0:01:41.560 that guy stinks. I feel like we shouldn't draft him. 0:01:41.600 --> 0:01:44.520 Now that's it, we're out. How do you give up 0:01:44.560 --> 0:01:48.160 six runs to the Detroit Tigers four home runs players? 0:01:50.160 --> 0:01:54.760 Travis Demerit. Who's that guy? Who? I don't know who? 0:01:55.120 --> 0:01:57.360 This guy? Guy looks a little slim down to see you, Greg, 0:01:57.440 --> 0:02:00.320 we're talking first base today? Uh huh? Where is he 0:02:00.400 --> 0:02:03.040 ranks for you? Little little corner infield? Where's he ranks? 0:02:03.080 --> 0:02:06.120 I don't know that I have him ranked for me. Cabrera, 0:02:07.800 --> 0:02:09.760 I don't have him rank on rank, so he's never 0:02:09.880 --> 0:02:12.680 thirty four. Oh, I have a thirty four. So they 0:02:12.639 --> 0:02:15.400 moved ahead of a Dan Vogel Box, I can move 0:02:15.440 --> 0:02:17.280 on ahead of Michael Javis, who qualifies the first base 0:02:17.280 --> 0:02:20.520 in young Yeah. I think we'll probably leave Miguel Cabrera 0:02:20.560 --> 0:02:23.840 where he is. Yeah, seems that seems fair on the 0:02:23.840 --> 0:02:27.160 program that I more first baseman talk about the problem 0:02:27.240 --> 0:02:28.919 is I said this to you while making the rankings 0:02:28.919 --> 0:02:31.359 for first base in second base. There aren't many good 0:02:31.400 --> 0:02:34.480 players that play these two positions, and it's very hard 0:02:34.520 --> 0:02:36.680 to feel. Well, a first based spot and then a 0:02:36.720 --> 0:02:38.520 corner in field spot. I mean third base is deepen off, 0:02:38.520 --> 0:02:42.000 I guess, but absolutely at first base this is bad. Oh, 0:02:42.040 --> 0:02:44.519 I just gotta text that, um there are calls fever, 0:02:44.560 --> 0:02:48.280 which means he probably a coronavirus, which is why, well, 0:02:48.760 --> 0:02:53.600 I don't know, is it in Florida, it's everywhere. That's bad. Queen. 0:02:53.800 --> 0:02:55.480 We have five first baseman that we like, a lot 0:02:55.480 --> 0:02:57.440 of first basion we don't like. Hopefully that they find 0:02:57.440 --> 0:02:59.679 the first basemen we like. We also could learn a 0:02:59.680 --> 0:03:13.240 lot more. Thank you, Greg.

Lasted just two innings, giving up six 0:04:07.400 --> 0:04:11.960 earned runs, including two home runs. Too. Mcguil cobra. All 0:04:12.080 --> 0:04:16.440 thirty MLB teams are in action on the spring training slate. 0:04:16.520 --> 0:04:19.279 Some off the field news the Red Sox they have 0:04:19.400 --> 0:04:22.840 signed right hander Colin mghu to a one year deal. 0:04:22.920 --> 0:04:26.279 The designated right hander Hector VLAs guest for assignment. Mgu 0:04:26.640 --> 0:04:30.479 thirty two spent the previous six seasons with the Houston Astros. 0:04:30.760 --> 0:04:33.240 Was four and five with a four point seven zero 0:04:33.320 --> 0:04:37.320 e r A in seventy four innings last year.

Talent reporters at the 0:04:53.600 --> 0:04:56.640 m r I revealed no notable damage to the left 0:04:56.680 --> 0:05:01.080 handers elbow. Other Baseball news a and Judge hopes to 0:05:01.080 --> 0:05:03.840 be ready to go for opening Day, but he has 0:05:03.920 --> 0:05:06.560 quote frustrated that the doctors haven't determined to cause a 0:05:06.680 --> 0:05:10.880 soreness in his pectoral area near his right shoulder. Judge 0:05:11.000 --> 0:05:14.880 told reporters that he will undergo more tests. Stay tuned 0:05:15.000 --> 0:05:18.400 on that one. And in the NBA, Steph Curry returns 0:05:18.440 --> 0:05:21.559 to action. Is played in just four games this season 0:05:21.600 --> 0:05:25.680 for the Golden State Warriors. He's recovery from a broken 0:05:25.760 --> 0:05:29.200 left hand. He will be on a minute restriction, expected 0:05:29.240 --> 0:05:32.200 to play between twenty four and twenty eight minutes when 0:05:32.240 --> 0:05:35.160 the Warriors take on the Raptors tonight. That is your 0:05:35.200 --> 0:05:38.640 BFF Sports good News update. Now back to Frank Guys. 0:05:39.560 --> 0:05:41.440 All right, we're gonna get into the first based position 0:05:41.480 --> 0:05:44.320 here on the show from a fantasy baseball perspective. But 0:05:44.400 --> 0:05:47.080 like we do every day here on the Fantasy BFS, 0:05:47.160 --> 0:05:50.320 we give you a little snippet of tonight's NBA DFS preview. 0:05:50.640 --> 0:05:54.120 And Greg Sausman was with Davis Maddock earlier today from 0:05:54.200 --> 0:05:57.400 Daily Rohada dot Com as they did the NBA tip drill, 0:05:57.480 --> 0:05:59.440 telling you why you should have Andrew Wiggins in your 0:05:59.440 --> 0:06:11.640 lineup tonight, moving on to the small forward position Alec 0:06:11.640 --> 0:06:15.200 Marks's former team, Andrew Wiggins is on there now and 0:06:15.240 --> 0:06:17.760 doing well enough you consider to put in your line out. 0:06:17.760 --> 0:06:19.440 I thin everyone will be looking at Steph Curry and 0:06:19.520 --> 0:06:24.240 his return tonight, which makes Andrew Wiggins potentially undervalued. Yeah, 0:06:24.240 --> 0:06:27.120 I think it definitely makes him undervalued. So just actually, 0:06:27.200 --> 0:06:29.279 right before you and I got on air, Steve Kurt 0:06:29.320 --> 0:06:31.960 Talk the media said that Steph Curry is gonna play 0:06:32.080 --> 0:06:35.600 at most in six minute verse for sure, less than 0:06:35.640 --> 0:06:38.760 thirty minutes and probably closer to twenty five minutes in 0:06:38.839 --> 0:06:42.920 his return. So that leaves, you know, a big portion 0:06:42.960 --> 0:06:45.520 of this game for Andrew Wiggins to just continue doing 0:06:45.560 --> 0:06:48.040 what he's been doing, which is playing with a bunch 0:06:48.080 --> 0:06:50.039 of you know, to to put it kindly, a bunch 0:06:50.120 --> 0:06:52.760 of U G League players right like, these guys on 0:06:52.800 --> 0:06:55.840 the Warriors roster right now, these guys are are mostly scrubs. 0:06:55.839 --> 0:06:57.960 You know, it would be very surprising to me if 0:06:58.040 --> 0:07:02.080 Juan Toscano Anderson is the Warriors roster next year. So 0:07:02.120 --> 0:07:04.599 it's given. It just gives Wiggins a lot of usage, 0:07:04.800 --> 0:07:06.599 and it's gonna play you know a ton of minutes 0:07:06.640 --> 0:07:12.400 without step tonight. And that was Davis Maddick from Jailey 0:07:12.480 --> 0:07:15.240 Rhodo dot Com earlier today on the NBA tip Trill. 0:07:15.320 --> 0:07:17.800 You can catch that every single day here on the 0:07:17.840 --> 0:07:20.920 sports cod YouTube channel over at NBA Fantasy as well 0:07:21.040 --> 0:07:23.680 on Twitter and Greg. Since Andrew Wiggins has joined the 0:07:23.680 --> 0:07:26.280 Golden State Wheres, we've seen a lot more defensive statistics 0:07:26.280 --> 0:07:27.760 out of him. He's getting a bunch of steals, a 0:07:27.760 --> 0:07:30.120 bunch of blocks, which obviously if you play on fandel 0:07:30.320 --> 0:07:33.520 you get three Fantasy points per defensive numbers. So Andrew 0:07:33.520 --> 0:07:36.120 Wiggins a name to look at tonight in NBA dfest 0:07:36.200 --> 0:07:38.000 a little and harold it out there in Golden State 0:07:38.080 --> 0:07:40.280 with Steph Curry back tonight. And that's what davi Us 0:07:40.280 --> 0:07:42.480 and I obviously chatted about a little bit earlier on 0:07:42.600 --> 0:07:45.680 lets we want a first Basement, Frank, where again we 0:07:45.680 --> 0:07:47.640 were just trying to name some names of players that 0:07:47.640 --> 0:07:49.600 we wanted to draft to play at first base, uh 0:07:49.680 --> 0:07:51.800 in our auction which is one week from today, and 0:07:51.800 --> 0:07:54.760 we lead it on Nobody Frank. Yeah, Greg, we got 0:07:54.800 --> 0:07:57.480 a little trouble in paradise here in terms of because 0:07:57.480 --> 0:08:04.680 I want figuring out Franky gregs fun players. Yeah, yeah, 0:08:04.720 --> 0:08:08.360 all that fun zero fun, sir, that's you. Yeah, okay, 0:08:08.480 --> 0:08:10.640 we'll see you just said, why don't we drive? Luke 0:08:10.680 --> 0:08:13.080 Void is their starting first basement. The guy might not 0:08:13.120 --> 0:08:16.280 have a job halfway through the season. You haven't been 0:08:16.280 --> 0:08:18.680 able to stay healthy either. By the way, you're a 0:08:18.720 --> 0:08:23.600 downgrade Clayton Kershaw. Ye got a downgrade Luke Void injuries. 0:08:24.080 --> 0:08:27.440 He's not like an injury prone guy. Luke Void. Yeah, 0:08:27.480 --> 0:08:31.240 he's coming off a major course surgery. He's all right, 0:08:31.320 --> 0:08:34.920 but how long will it last season? I hope you're right. Well, 0:08:34.960 --> 0:08:36.880 they don't worry. Then I named a whole bunch of 0:08:36.920 --> 0:08:40.240 other options at first base, right then like any of them? Well, 0:08:40.280 --> 0:08:42.160 you know what Frank says, and he says every day, 0:08:42.920 --> 0:08:46.960 jes Jose b is always the answer at first base, 0:08:47.080 --> 0:08:50.199 and I like Jose right. I didn't know she's expensive, man, 0:08:51.080 --> 0:08:54.640 But what worth it all? Where do you want to 0:08:54.679 --> 0:08:56.520 start Greg at the first base? Because do you want 0:08:56.520 --> 0:08:58.199 to just dive into Jose bray was at the first 0:08:58.240 --> 0:09:00.120 player you want to talk about? You manna tell you 0:09:00.120 --> 0:09:02.200 why he's the best first baseman of all time? Yeah, 0:09:02.240 --> 0:09:05.120 that's actually the ideal. Yeah, alright, well, I don't know 0:09:05.160 --> 0:09:07.000 that he's the best. This would be one of them 0:09:07.000 --> 0:09:09.200 all time, you know how like we really struggled to 0:09:09.320 --> 0:09:11.920 get to our top twenty lists here. He's not gonna 0:09:11.920 --> 0:09:15.960 be one of those days. There's just not enough first page. 0:09:14.840 --> 0:09:19.520 All right, do you want to start with Jose? Alright? 0:09:19.720 --> 0:09:23.520 Take it look after a time through a banged of eighteen. Yes, 0:09:23.559 --> 0:09:25.040 I'll give you your time to talk about Luke Voyd 0:09:25.040 --> 0:09:27.600 Greg later on the show. Uh, he bounced back major 0:09:27.720 --> 0:09:29.439 last year, and I was all over Break last year. 0:09:29.440 --> 0:09:32.560 I didn't understand why people were downgrading him. Obviously dealt 0:09:32.600 --> 0:09:35.240 with a very unfortunate situation back in eighteen, if you 0:09:35.240 --> 0:09:39.080 remember correctly, Greg, that involved testicular torsion. I'll just leave 0:09:39.080 --> 0:09:40.520 it at that. When it comes to Jose, a Break 0:09:41.880 --> 0:09:44.160 bounced back last year. Did you know he led the 0:09:44.160 --> 0:09:47.120 American League in RBIs did with a hundred and twenty three. 0:09:47.520 --> 0:09:49.360 I don't know if you noticed this, Greig, but the 0:09:49.400 --> 0:09:52.440 line up for the White Sox got even, so he 0:09:52.440 --> 0:09:55.200 had a hundred and twenty three RBI last year. I'm 0:09:55.200 --> 0:09:57.120 not going to project him for that, but I think 0:09:57.160 --> 0:09:58.920 he's going to be well over a hundred. They add 0:09:59.000 --> 0:10:01.680 Edwin and Cornacion. Luis Robert is tearing up the spring 0:10:01.760 --> 0:10:04.280 right now, Eloy Hemenez. A lot of people expect him 0:10:04.400 --> 0:10:05.960 to take the next step. And at the top of 0:10:05.960 --> 0:10:08.479 the line up we haven't even mentioned yet Yoan Moncata, 0:10:08.640 --> 0:10:11.240 Tim Anderson. Obviously, if you're playing an O B P 0:10:11.440 --> 0:10:13.760 or in a head to head points league, Jose Brew 0:10:13.840 --> 0:10:16.520 gets to devalued a little bit there, Greg, right around 0:10:16.520 --> 0:10:18.720 a six percent walk great, He's not gonna walk very much, 0:10:18.760 --> 0:10:22.199 but consistently hits for a two eight plus batting average, 0:10:22.480 --> 0:10:25.000 thirty plus home runs. He's just solid man. And I 0:10:25.080 --> 0:10:28.760 understand the auction price fifteen team leagues over at the NFBC. 0:10:29.080 --> 0:10:33.559 His A A V right now is around I understand 0:10:33.600 --> 0:10:35.480 that's a big price to pay, but I think for 0:10:35.559 --> 0:10:38.079 the consistency and the safe floor out of jose Briew, 0:10:38.240 --> 0:10:41.840 I don't mind paying that price. I've already have a 0:10:41.880 --> 0:10:44.400 few shares of jose Brew taking him in the fifth round. Greig, 0:10:44.880 --> 0:10:47.120 I like it. Where you in a better line of 0:10:47.120 --> 0:10:49.160 than even last year, isn't a good spot. The only 0:10:49.160 --> 0:10:50.800 thing is I feel that people are coming on in 0:10:50.840 --> 0:10:53.880 an auction. He's twenty one dollars, which is not nothing 0:10:54.040 --> 0:10:57.560 rank it's expressive. Yeah, So to put that in perspective, 0:10:58.080 --> 0:11:00.560 some other names right around that range pulled ultimate over 0:11:00.559 --> 0:11:03.880 the past week, twenty Anthony Rizzo twenty dollars. People are 0:11:03.880 --> 0:11:07.520 finally starting to realize. Yeah, yeah, like the I think 0:11:07.520 --> 0:11:09.040 it's actually going a little bit too far the other 0:11:09.080 --> 0:11:11.000 way now in Rizzo, because I've said for years, Greg, 0:11:11.080 --> 0:11:14.200 I didn't understand why Rizzo was going to three rounds 0:11:14.200 --> 0:11:17.040 ahead of Jose A. Brew sometimes five ten dollars more 0:11:17.280 --> 0:11:19.840 than Jose Brew in an auction. Now it feels like 0:11:19.960 --> 0:11:21.480 it might be going a little bit too far the 0:11:21.520 --> 0:11:24.360 other way with Anthony Rizzo. And you know, if you 0:11:24.360 --> 0:11:26.760 can get him in the fifth, sixth round, obviously plays 0:11:26.840 --> 0:11:29.839 much better in ob P formance the day you get him. 0:11:29.920 --> 0:11:32.000 I don't mind. Actually, I don't mind Anthony Rizzo at 0:11:32.000 --> 0:11:34.040 this point. Like, if we can get Rizzo at twenty bucks, Greg, 0:11:34.480 --> 0:11:36.320 I'm fine with it. Oh my god, Now he doesn't 0:11:36.320 --> 0:11:38.880 want Anthony. I will say this, Anthony Rizzo is not 0:11:38.920 --> 0:11:40.520 a fun player, so I will agree with you on 0:11:40.559 --> 0:11:48.520 that he's rocks. No, he's rock solid. We did that 0:11:48.559 --> 0:11:51.480 in the GD already. Jose Brew is my fourth rank, 0:11:51.720 --> 0:11:57.320 first basement, my fifth rank. All right, I have what 0:11:57.360 --> 0:11:59.400 do you don't test me, I'll put him ahead of 0:11:59.400 --> 0:12:01.840 Peter Alonzo tested dr I have that old set up 0:12:03.720 --> 0:12:06.360 Matt Olson's fun other frightenings about mat Olson. We got 0:12:06.400 --> 0:12:11.880 back next. Want to light the lamp on Draft Kings 0:12:11.920 --> 0:12:15.360 and FanDuel this NHL DFS season.

This is great, 0:12:54.760 --> 0:12:56.920 and this is so it's all gonna Davis Madtic today, 0:12:56.960 --> 0:12:59.160 before the tip trail, I was asking you about fantasy 0:12:59.160 --> 0:13:01.280 baseball and if you das or not. He's like, I've 0:13:01.280 --> 0:13:04.720 been watching you and Frankly, you guys really love fantasy baseball, 0:13:05.360 --> 0:13:09.560 as I think frank does. I'm just kidding, like I 0:13:09.640 --> 0:13:12.080 do just kidding but not really. It was like, I 0:13:12.120 --> 0:13:15.720 know you love fantasy baseball. I really love fantasy baseball 0:13:15.720 --> 0:13:19.400 as I love fantasy basketball lot too. Um both every 0:13:19.480 --> 0:13:21.679 day it just never end. And you know me, I 0:13:21.720 --> 0:13:23.680 mean like you're crazy with it. You don't name all 0:13:23.720 --> 0:13:26.559 these guys I've never heard of, like Rico Dubon. We 0:13:26.600 --> 0:13:28.480 didn't even get to him yesterday. And I actually know 0:13:28.480 --> 0:13:30.560 who that guy is. I don't remember struck out on 0:13:30.559 --> 0:13:35.800 a nasty slider from Kershaw as he sucks. But like 0:13:35.880 --> 0:13:37.640 these conversations will have a dream of the break like 0:13:38.480 --> 0:13:40.160 I love it, I really do. Is that the stuff 0:13:40.160 --> 0:13:44.080 we should be broadcasting, Greg? If maybe it's basically just 0:13:44.320 --> 0:13:46.400 me introducing a player that I want in our auction 0:13:46.400 --> 0:13:48.680 and Greg being like I don't know about that player, 0:13:48.679 --> 0:13:50.320 and then him going to another player, and then me 0:13:50.320 --> 0:13:52.600 me being like I don't know about that player, Greg, 0:13:53.360 --> 0:13:56.960 that's basically it. Oh, we agree on a certain players. 0:13:57.840 --> 0:14:00.000 That's not true. Like there's been a lot of guys 0:14:00.000 --> 0:14:03.560 we have talked about this sprang Winter, we're rolled it on. 0:14:03.679 --> 0:14:05.920 I will reveal it right now. I won't say who, 0:14:06.040 --> 0:14:08.000 but we have our catcher position filled out. Both of 0:14:08.040 --> 0:14:12.520 them shortstop. He doesn't even remember. I remember the bad 0:14:12.520 --> 0:14:16.160 catching shortstop in third base. Our outfielder one you probably 0:14:16.160 --> 0:14:17.880 don't remember that one is the one? Is it? The one? 0:14:18.640 --> 0:14:20.400 Is the expensive one? Or not? Banging on a trash 0:14:20.440 --> 0:14:25.120 can are fourth and fifth outfielders. And we have over 0:14:25.160 --> 0:14:27.120 pictures filled out already. Great, come on, we're doing great. 0:14:27.320 --> 0:14:29.320 I love our pitching staffs on sunny grains on it. 0:14:30.080 --> 0:14:32.280 That's the thing. The thing is our pitching staff is 0:14:32.320 --> 0:14:35.560 like a hundred and fifty dollars of our budget. What 0:14:35.600 --> 0:14:38.680 are we doing, saff We're going the other way. Everyone 0:14:38.720 --> 0:14:44.200 tells you sixty your budget. We're going agree with that. 0:14:44.320 --> 0:14:47.440 I want all pitching. Well, Greg, you do start more 0:14:47.520 --> 0:14:50.200 hitters than you do pictures, so let's still fall in 0:14:50.280 --> 0:14:55.960 five categories. Only five categories. Is not thirteen hitters compared 0:14:56.000 --> 0:15:00.360 to nine pictures. It's only five categories right right within 0:15:00.440 --> 0:15:03.880 all the pitching categories. Is there training in this league? Yeah? 0:15:03.920 --> 0:15:05.720 I believe there is. Well, we'll get all pitching. People 0:15:05.800 --> 0:15:08.680 always need pitching, true, always need it all right, Greg, 0:15:08.720 --> 0:15:10.640 first place, it's back to the the first place. I mentioned 0:15:10.680 --> 0:15:13.280 Matt Olsen before the break. That is a different difference 0:15:13.280 --> 0:15:15.720 that you and I have. I have matt Olsen as 0:15:15.840 --> 0:15:19.720 my number four first basement. You have matt Olsen as 0:15:19.720 --> 0:15:22.600 your number five first basement without actually looking down at 0:15:22.640 --> 0:15:25.240 your sheet, Um, I have been six? Actually you have? 0:15:25.280 --> 0:15:29.480 Who do you have? I have Anthony Rizzo. I don't 0:15:29.480 --> 0:15:31.640 know how I became the Anthony Rizzo guy. Now I 0:15:31.640 --> 0:15:35.960 actually dropped Anthony Rizzo. Um, after the graph, after years 0:15:36.000 --> 0:15:38.720 of me bashing him, you finally bought in. I feel 0:15:38.800 --> 0:15:40.320 much better at this. I have Olson at four, a 0:15:40.440 --> 0:15:43.000 rad at five, Rizzo at six. You have the same 0:15:43.000 --> 0:15:44.800 players as a little bit of a different order. Um, 0:15:44.840 --> 0:15:47.880 and I know what this says. You ignore that. Um, 0:15:47.920 --> 0:15:49.560 why do you have? Why do you like mat Olson? Way? 0:15:49.560 --> 0:15:51.680 You just like Matt Olson? No, I like Matt Olson 0:15:51.760 --> 0:15:56.240 a lot. And maybe this is like a slippery slope 0:15:56.320 --> 0:15:58.480 fallacy of mine so far in the draft season, Greg, 0:15:58.520 --> 0:16:03.000 But whenever I mind early to mid round players that 0:16:03.520 --> 0:16:06.040 do not contribute in batting average and only give you 0:16:06.080 --> 0:16:09.080 power and nothing else, I am pivoting away from those 0:16:09.080 --> 0:16:13.160 players more often than not, because I've convinced myself that, well, 0:16:13.160 --> 0:16:15.480 if you're gonna take Matt Olsen in round five, or 0:16:15.480 --> 0:16:19.280 if you're gonna spend twenty in an auction on Matt Olsen. 0:16:19.880 --> 0:16:23.760 Why don't you just wait and get Reese Hoskins five 0:16:23.840 --> 0:16:27.440 rounds later and he's you know, look, the batting average 0:16:27.480 --> 0:16:31.000 might be lower than madd Olson to forty hitter, but 0:16:31.160 --> 0:16:34.880 what are you expecting how hoskinst home runs, good County stats, 0:16:34.920 --> 0:16:37.920 obviously gets on base, good ballparks to hidden So maybe 0:16:37.920 --> 0:16:40.320 this is a fallacy of mine, and only time will tell. 0:16:40.600 --> 0:16:43.600 But I've basically been pivoting away from any hitters in 0:16:43.600 --> 0:16:46.400 the early rounds that only give you power and nothing else. 0:16:46.400 --> 0:16:48.120 I mean, look at the bus that I've called out 0:16:48.120 --> 0:16:50.800 so far, Aaron Judge, I'm not on Peter Alonso. I'll 0:16:50.800 --> 0:16:52.400 tell you why I'm not on him, for basically the 0:16:52.400 --> 0:16:55.360 same reasons I'm telling you probably not gonna draft Matt Olson. 0:16:55.840 --> 0:16:57.480 I just want to get batting average at least or 0:16:57.480 --> 0:17:00.240 stolen bases in those early rounds. And I think that 0:17:00.280 --> 0:17:02.440 Anthony Rizle is probably gonna hit two AD plus. I 0:17:02.520 --> 0:17:04.440 think that Jose Bray is probably gonna hit two ad 0:17:04.480 --> 0:17:07.760 plus ad. Olson is great. He might hit fifty home 0:17:07.840 --> 0:17:10.159 runs this season, but he's probably not gonna hit more 0:17:10.160 --> 0:17:12.320 than two fifty. If we're just being honest. So guy 0:17:12.359 --> 0:17:14.800 has struggled against left handed pitching. He has struggled to 0:17:14.840 --> 0:17:17.600 hit in oco as well. What I will say about 0:17:17.640 --> 0:17:20.800 about Matt Olson greg is that his stack cast page 0:17:20.800 --> 0:17:23.320 is just ridiculous. It's like Cody Balinger. It's like Cody 0:17:23.320 --> 0:17:26.840 Balinger light. It's there's red everywhere, which is a good thing. 0:17:27.119 --> 0:17:31.480 He was percentile or better in barrel percentage, average, eggs velocity, 0:17:31.520 --> 0:17:34.760 expected slugging percentage last year and hard contact right and 0:17:34.800 --> 0:17:37.000 that was coming back from a hammate bone injury, which 0:17:37.080 --> 0:17:39.120 just crazy, like you don't normally see stuff like that. 0:17:39.280 --> 0:17:41.879 Matt Olsen has ridiculous power, awesome batting stance as well, 0:17:41.880 --> 0:17:44.280 where he just like holds the bat out here like crazy, 0:17:44.840 --> 0:17:48.160 good mine up to hit him. Obviously not a great ballpark, Craig. 0:17:48.359 --> 0:17:50.760 I think he hits between two fifty and two sixty 0:17:51.119 --> 0:17:54.400 conservatively project forty home runs. It wouldn't surprise me if 0:17:54.440 --> 0:17:57.680 he approaches fifty. He has that type of power. So 0:17:58.119 --> 0:18:01.600 this doesn't contribute batting average, which is why have him six. 0:18:01.800 --> 0:18:05.320 And I understand that, but I have to ask for 0:18:05.320 --> 0:18:07.800 anyone who wants Peter Alonzo out there, just take Matt 0:18:07.840 --> 0:18:10.760 Olson three rounds later. That was literally the question I 0:18:10.800 --> 0:18:12.840 was about to ask you. It's not three rounds so 0:18:12.920 --> 0:18:15.320 much anymore though. So that Olson is fifty two in 0:18:15.320 --> 0:18:18.040 the NFBC O the past two weeks, um Peter Alons 0:18:18.160 --> 0:18:23.399 is thirty one. So it's around and a half or 0:18:23.440 --> 0:18:29.600 two questions will just take Matt Olsen two rounds later. 0:18:30.640 --> 0:18:33.040 The stack has numbers, the power. The power numbers are 0:18:33.080 --> 0:18:34.919 actually better for Matt Olson in than they are for 0:18:35.200 --> 0:18:36.720 and if he can get the average out, you're talking 0:18:36.720 --> 0:18:39.320 about Reese Hoskins five rounds later in a lonest thing, 0:18:39.560 --> 0:18:42.560 the same kind of thing. Yes, So the thing is Greg, 0:18:42.800 --> 0:18:44.439 am I doing that too much? Am I taking that 0:18:44.520 --> 0:18:47.800 too far? Because what happens? All right? You say, all right, 0:18:47.840 --> 0:18:50.119 well I wanted Peter Alonso, but you're right, Frank, I 0:18:50.160 --> 0:18:52.520 can wait. I can get medalson Oh crap, someone took 0:18:52.560 --> 0:18:54.560 medalson out from under me. Next thing, you know, I 0:18:54.600 --> 0:18:58.160 missed out and Reese Hoskins. If you just keep thinking like, oh, 0:18:58.160 --> 0:19:00.600 I can wait and get someone that's similar, haven't, eventually 0:19:00.640 --> 0:19:02.399 you might not get that player. I haven't answered that 0:19:02.440 --> 0:19:08.000 one to what happened to be missed out on him? Greg? Way, 0:19:08.000 --> 0:19:09.359 So when the first basin you missed out on that 0:19:09.400 --> 0:19:11.640 you probably won't miss then then it's your fault. That's 0:19:11.640 --> 0:19:14.119 probably Christian Walker. But I do like I Met, I 0:19:14.160 --> 0:19:18.920 like Madelson, but probably more so and and uh points 0:19:18.960 --> 0:19:20.400 leeg just because you don't have to worry about the batting. 0:19:20.520 --> 0:19:21.720 So I'm gonna go back to the same question that 0:19:21.760 --> 0:19:23.879 we keep going when we keep trying to tackle and 0:19:23.920 --> 0:19:25.560 you you name some of the players that we kind 0:19:25.560 --> 0:19:27.640 of have in our heads of this auction, and they're 0:19:27.640 --> 0:19:30.320 all really very solid guys. I like where heads are at. 0:19:30.800 --> 0:19:34.320 Where are you finding speed? Like the guys that we 0:19:34.359 --> 0:19:39.199 have have oh speed. So last year in the NFBC 0:19:39.280 --> 0:19:41.480 main event, I wound up drafting de Gordon for speed 0:19:41.840 --> 0:19:43.719 and that didn't work out. He had a terrible season. 0:19:43.760 --> 0:19:46.600 And you've heard people kind of caution you about this 0:19:46.680 --> 0:19:49.280 in the past, and I basically had to live through 0:19:49.280 --> 0:19:52.240 it myself to learn my lesson. I don't like taking 0:19:52.240 --> 0:19:54.600 the players that you expect outside of a trade turner. 0:19:54.600 --> 0:19:56.639 I don't mind taking trade turner that you expect to 0:19:56.680 --> 0:20:00.520 give you thirty five plus stolen basis. I like taking 0:20:00.520 --> 0:20:03.280 the guys that just chip away. Greg felve to fifteen 0:20:03.320 --> 0:20:05.200 here twelve to fifteen. There, maybe get a guy who 0:20:05.200 --> 0:20:07.439 gives you a twenty to twenty five, someone like an 0:20:07.480 --> 0:20:10.359 Oscar Mercado or a Victor Roblos who can give you thirty. 0:20:10.640 --> 0:20:15.040 Like one of those guys down what Oscar Mercado Victor Robis? 0:20:15.480 --> 0:20:17.479 I mean, I have mental notes in my mind down 0:20:17.480 --> 0:20:19.679 because you really follow the notes in the draft. All right, 0:20:19.760 --> 0:20:21.560 I will, I will write down the names. But a 0:20:21.560 --> 0:20:23.359 lot of my draft so far, Greg, have been just 0:20:23.440 --> 0:20:26.920 chipping away, a lot of Haavier Bios shares Manny Machado 0:20:27.040 --> 0:20:30.000 eight to ten stolen bases, maybe like a Tim Anderson 0:20:30.040 --> 0:20:32.320 close to twenty stolen basis, someone like that. I'm just 0:20:32.400 --> 0:20:35.800 chipping away. I don't want the Malix Smith's I don't want. 0:20:36.440 --> 0:20:38.440 I don't mind a Jonathan VR, but he's not really 0:20:38.480 --> 0:20:40.600 a target of mine. I we went over our second 0:20:40.640 --> 0:20:43.919 basis in shortstop ranks, Greg, I would rather have Asilbi's 0:20:44.080 --> 0:20:47.399 chipping away fifteen and twenty stolen basis, Kessen Heira twelve 0:20:47.440 --> 0:20:50.000 to fifteen stolen bases. Just get a bunch of these guys, 0:20:50.000 --> 0:20:51.600 and then at the end of your draft you look 0:20:51.680 --> 0:20:54.199 up and you realize, oh, well, I got six or 0:20:54.200 --> 0:20:56.240 seven of these guys, I'm projected for a hundred stolen 0:20:56.240 --> 0:20:58.720 basis and that's perfectly fine. You can compete with that, 0:20:59.480 --> 0:21:02.159 all right. I just wanna remember, like we need that 0:21:02.200 --> 0:21:04.760
