The Welsh is here as always, 0:00:42.680 --> 0:00:46.000 and Ryan Warmly, the Worm, as we call him here 0:00:46.000 --> 0:00:50.040 around the Fantasy Pros stable, he is here as well. 0:00:50.120 --> 0:00:52.320 Now Ryan is trying to get back up to speed 0:00:52.440 --> 0:00:55.600 coming off of a very long NFL season. Welsh and 0:00:55.640 --> 0:00:57.480 I are a few weeks ahead of you, but I 0:00:57.560 --> 0:00:59.800 just wanted to put this out there. I just realized 0:00:59.840 --> 0:01:02.760 that Joey P, the Welsh and the Worm. If that 0:01:02.760 --> 0:01:05.560 doesn't sound like a drive time morning radio show. I 0:01:05.560 --> 0:01:06.319 don't know what does. 0:01:06.880 --> 0:01:08.679 It's the weenie in the butt all over. 0:01:09.760 --> 0:01:12.120 The best part about being called the worm is that 0:01:12.160 --> 0:01:14.160 it kind of fits on the end of anything, right 0:01:14.280 --> 0:01:16.600 like Mao and the Worm, Joey p and the Worm, 0:01:16.640 --> 0:01:17.480 Welsh in the Worm. 0:01:17.640 --> 0:01:22.319 It kind of just hitsline. You're like the hunch hits 0:01:22.360 --> 0:01:24.600 I had in Mexico once Mayo. 0:01:25.040 --> 0:01:25.560 I'm pretty sure. 0:01:25.600 --> 0:01:27.679 But Joe, it's like, uh, like you and me be 0:01:27.680 --> 0:01:29.920 going back and forth and be like, hey, write worm 0:01:30.000 --> 0:01:33.600 and worms, Like yeah. 0:01:33.160 --> 0:01:34.960 We're gonna fight every instanct. We have to do the 0:01:35.000 --> 0:01:37.399 whole show like this. I can't say it's not gonna 0:01:38.680 --> 0:01:41.000 but again, roto categories. That's the style of draft that 0:01:41.000 --> 0:01:43.160 we are doing today. I encourage everybody to go to 0:01:43.200 --> 0:01:46.160 fantasypros dot com slash draft Wizard and the Draft Wizard's 0:01:46.160 --> 0:01:48.960 open for business.

In fact, we're gonna have a lot of 0:02:11.080 --> 0:02:14.040 our Discord members on the show to do mocks with 0:02:14.160 --> 0:02:16.840 us coming up soon. That's gonna happen. They're always part 0:02:16.880 --> 0:02:20.160 of these mocks too, but today we're using the bots, 0:02:20.200 --> 0:02:23.000 We're using the droids, and we're gonna see where it goes. Now, 0:02:23.040 --> 0:02:25.680 I have the number two spot, Welsh is picking from 0:02:25.760 --> 0:02:28.880 number six, and the worm is picking from the turn. 0:02:29.040 --> 0:02:31.800 Now the worm at the turn also sounds like a 0:02:31.880 --> 0:02:34.640 drive time for a radio show. So without further ado, 0:02:34.720 --> 0:02:37.760 let's kick things off here. Welsh, I know you do 0:02:38.280 --> 0:02:43.519 all the Black Book Draft strategies head to head roto categories. 0:02:43.520 --> 0:02:47.240 What is your go to strategy in these situations? 0:02:48.240 --> 0:02:50.239 And what overall are in your spot in the head. 0:02:50.080 --> 0:02:51.880 To head categories? What are you looking for here? 0:02:52.160 --> 0:02:54.679 Well, I mean I want five tools. I want to 0:02:54.680 --> 0:02:56.880 get speed. I want to get some speed at the top. 0:02:57.760 --> 0:03:00.280 You know, speed is kind of coming up from all 0:03:00.280 --> 0:03:02.160 different spots, but the one thing you get at the 0:03:02.200 --> 0:03:06.280 top with these guys is consistent batting average power, you 0:03:06.360 --> 0:03:08.520 kind of get all five tools, so I would like 0:03:08.960 --> 0:03:11.400 to make sure that I get elite speed. I'm probably 0:03:11.400 --> 0:03:14.240 not looking at pitching too early. Uh, and then we'll 0:03:14.280 --> 0:03:16.120 deal with how closers are going to be. But I'm 0:03:16.160 --> 0:03:18.000 looking for You can't really ruin your draft with the 0:03:18.000 --> 0:03:20.400 first round pick, but I'm going to be looking for 0:03:20.440 --> 0:03:21.600 like quality speed guys. 0:03:21.600 --> 0:03:23.640 So I'm not chasing it later. I don't want to know. 0:03:23.639 --> 0:03:25.680 Do you want to chase out of Bertamandesi later? 0:03:25.760 --> 0:03:25.840 Like? 0:03:25.880 --> 0:03:26.680 Do you want to do that? 0:03:27.000 --> 0:03:27.120 No? 0:03:27.240 --> 0:03:29.880 I do not. The first player off the board is 0:03:29.919 --> 0:03:33.280 Aaron Judge. Surprisingly, so Turner's still there. We are doing 0:03:33.280 --> 0:03:36.680 with corner in middle, infield, we have four outfielders. Because 0:03:36.680 --> 0:03:38.960 we have four outfielders, or also have nine pitcher spots, 0:03:38.960 --> 0:03:42.640 they're open, so we're not mandatory rpeing today. I'm going 0:03:42.680 --> 0:03:44.960 to make a statement here and that statement is going 0:03:45.000 --> 0:03:48.440 to be Julio Rodriguez. I want an outfielder. I know 0:03:48.480 --> 0:03:51.600 Welsh wants to take a Kunya Otani goes to, Jose 0:03:51.760 --> 0:03:56.040 Ramiroz goes er. Atani goes three, Jos Ramirez goes four, 0:03:56.520 --> 0:03:59.920 Trey Turner all the way to five. Shocking Welsh, You're 0:04:00.240 --> 0:04:02.320 roaldalcune is still on the board. You gotta be dancing 0:04:02.320 --> 0:04:02.640 at Jake. 0:04:02.880 --> 0:04:04.680 That's my number one player. This is who I would 0:04:04.680 --> 0:04:07.240 have taken at home. Yea, who I would have taken 0:04:07.280 --> 0:04:09.040 at two? Who would have taken at one? This is 0:04:09.080 --> 0:04:15.480 my number one player again, power speed, average, homers, RBI, 0:04:15.680 --> 0:04:19.080 runs every category I want. This would play one hundred 0:04:19.080 --> 0:04:20.960 and nineteen games last year, was almost the lead in 0:04:21.000 --> 0:04:24.160 stolen bases, going to be top of the projections. I 0:04:24.200 --> 0:04:27.080 am in for Ronald Dacunya and seventy nine percent on 0:04:27.160 --> 0:04:29.680 Fantasy pros agreed with that, which I probably helped with 0:04:29.720 --> 0:04:30.600 that metric a little bit. 0:04:31.240 --> 0:04:34.720 First round is strong, very strong this year. Alvarez at 0:04:34.720 --> 0:04:37.159 one oh seven, Vladdie at one o eighth and Juan 0:04:37.240 --> 0:04:39.400 Soto one oh nine. What a steal he is, Tucker 0:04:39.440 --> 0:04:42.479 at one ten, Mooie Bets at one eleven. Ryan Warmley, 0:04:42.520 --> 0:04:44.560 you are up with back to back picks. You've got 0:04:44.560 --> 0:04:46.280 Trout on the board, you got Freeman, you got the 0:04:46.320 --> 0:04:48.560 two big pictures. Which way you want to go? Yeah? 0:04:48.600 --> 0:04:51.200 I would have loved Mookie, who obviously just went one 0:04:51.240 --> 0:04:52.039 pick before me. 0:04:52.160 --> 0:04:54.320 But that's fine. Obviously, still a lot of talent here 0:04:54.400 --> 0:04:55.320 left on the board. 0:04:55.880 --> 0:04:57.719 You know, early on, I don't really like to think 0:04:57.760 --> 0:05:01.120 about like too much strategy those first few rounds. I 0:05:01.160 --> 0:05:02.920 just want the best players give me as much talent 0:05:02.960 --> 0:05:04.839 on my team to start now, kind of filling the 0:05:04.839 --> 0:05:08.359 spots later on. I do think that first base isn't 0:05:08.400 --> 0:05:09.680 as deep as I would like it to be. 0:05:09.720 --> 0:05:11.960 So I am gonna go Freeman with one of these picks. 0:05:12.480 --> 0:05:14.520 You know, just being in the Dodgers' lineup, obviously he's 0:05:14.520 --> 0:05:16.160 gonna help in a lot of different categories. 0:05:16.200 --> 0:05:18.839 So I will go with him with one of those picks. 0:05:19.560 --> 0:05:21.279 And then, you know, there's a lot of pictures I 0:05:21.440 --> 0:05:24.400 like in sort of that rounds three to seven range, 0:05:24.440 --> 0:05:27.160 so I tend to shy away from pictures early. By 0:05:27.160 --> 0:05:29.120 the way, I will also say, as you mentioned, I 0:05:29.160 --> 0:05:31.240 am sort of just now dipping my toes back into 0:05:31.279 --> 0:05:34.040 the baseball coverage. There's no judgments in January. You can 0:05:34.120 --> 0:05:35.760 forget stuff. You can say, oh yeah, that guy had 0:05:35.760 --> 0:05:38.039 a slumpty end of the year. Oh yeah, like Cody 0:05:38.040 --> 0:05:39.320 Belger is in Chicago. 0:05:39.440 --> 0:05:41.520 That's right. Like you guys, feel free to roast me 0:05:41.520 --> 0:05:42.880 if I make any boneheaded decisions. 0:05:42.880 --> 0:05:43.480 Oh we will. 0:05:43.480 --> 0:05:46.760 And it's the last day of January. This is the 0:05:46.800 --> 0:05:48.440 last day you can say what you just said. 0:05:48.520 --> 0:05:51.120 Yeah, I like that For anybody listening in February, they're like, oh, 0:05:51.120 --> 0:05:52.080 here's the first roast. 0:05:52.160 --> 0:05:52.960 It's February. 0:05:53.080 --> 0:05:56.200 So I do we snuck this in? Last second? 0:05:56.400 --> 0:05:58.960 On my other pick, I am going to go just 0:05:59.000 --> 0:06:01.360 for kind of peer up here. I know he didn't 0:06:01.360 --> 0:06:03.480 have quite the debut we all hoped, but he obviously 0:06:03.480 --> 0:06:05.159 did a lot of great things in accounting stats. 0:06:05.160 --> 0:06:07.080 And that's Bobby Witt. Not as efficient as I wanted. 0:06:07.200 --> 0:06:09.040 But I'm just gonna go puer upside here. Picking at 0:06:09.040 --> 0:06:09.600 the turn. 0:06:09.920 --> 0:06:13.760 Welsh, I would have probably gone Trout and Bobby Wit there, 0:06:14.040 --> 0:06:15.919 you know me, Like, that's that's kind of you know, 0:06:16.000 --> 0:06:18.200 that's my dude there, because that's just all upside and 0:06:18.240 --> 0:06:21.680 I'm playing that situation. The pitchers do start to come 0:06:21.680 --> 0:06:23.640 off the board. Here we have Manny Machado at two 0:06:23.800 --> 0:06:24.440 oh three. 0:06:25.080 --> 0:06:25.279 Uh. 0:06:25.360 --> 0:06:27.560 Then we have Mike Trout at two oh two, who 0:06:27.600 --> 0:06:30.320 went after Bobby Witt. So you took excuse me, he 0:06:30.320 --> 0:06:33.040 went before Bobby Wit. So we had Freeman and Bobby 0:06:33.080 --> 0:06:35.920 Witt going to worm and then Mike Trout going at 0:06:35.920 --> 0:06:38.479 two o two, Manny Machado at two three, Garrett Cole, 0:06:38.760 --> 0:06:41.240 Fernando Tatis Junior, what a steal at two o five, 0:06:41.320 --> 0:06:44.520 Welsh telling you whoever gets that second round Tattoos is 0:06:44.640 --> 0:06:47.360 working with a lot of upside. Corbyn burns a two 0:06:47.360 --> 0:06:49.400 oh six, and then Welsh, you're up with thirty seconds 0:06:49.400 --> 0:06:50.559 on the clock at two oh seven. 0:06:50.839 --> 0:06:53.560 Yeah, contemplating a couple of things. Third base kind of stinks. 0:06:53.560 --> 0:06:55.240 There's a couple of good ones out here, but my 0:06:55.320 --> 0:06:57.960 top player is the top player that they're also suggesting. 0:06:58.000 --> 0:06:59.680 Bobachett again, this is. 0:06:59.640 --> 0:07:02.160 Five stolen bases, might be coming down a little bit, 0:07:02.200 --> 0:07:02.960 but good Homers. 0:07:03.320 --> 0:07:06.320 The position is deep, which makes me not want to 0:07:06.320 --> 0:07:07.279 do it, but I love them. 0:07:07.120 --> 0:07:09.000 So much, and now I've got two players you know, 0:07:09.000 --> 0:07:11.680 probably projected close to fifty stolen bases between my two 0:07:12.120 --> 0:07:14.400 and run fifty homers, so I'll take that. 0:07:14.920 --> 0:07:18.680 Indeed, continuing on, Bobaschett goes to Welsh, then Pete Alonso, 0:07:18.800 --> 0:07:21.240 Rafaeld Devers, Jacob de Gram at two oh ten. There's 0:07:21.240 --> 0:07:24.920 a risky pick for that manager, that Robot. There some 0:07:25.040 --> 0:07:28.320 intriguing pitchers on the board here, Spencer Stryder especially very 0:07:28.320 --> 0:07:30.360 tempting for me. I'm another guy that likes to wait 0:07:30.440 --> 0:07:34.720 on the pitching situation. Here. Top guys out there on 0:07:34.760 --> 0:07:37.520 the board you have Goldschmidt, Austin Riley. That sounds pretty 0:07:37.560 --> 0:07:40.480 good to me. First base, pretty good. There is a 0:07:40.560 --> 0:07:42.840 drop off there after these guys. So I'm gonna go 0:07:42.880 --> 0:07:44.360 ahead and I'm gonna go ahead and take Paul gold 0:07:44.400 --> 0:07:46.280 Schmidt here and see who makes it back to me. 0:07:46.600 --> 0:07:49.360 Austin Riley, I was hoping made it back. Ah, we 0:07:49.400 --> 0:07:52.240 did not. It's very upsetting. Now Here's where I have 0:07:52.320 --> 0:07:55.680 to find some discipline. So either I go off of 0:07:55.720 --> 0:07:57.840 my strategy, which is to wait on starting pitcher, which 0:07:57.880 --> 0:08:00.520 we've talked about a lot, or I bring down and 0:08:00.560 --> 0:08:03.200 I take Spencer Strider. Wels. What do you think guy 0:08:03.240 --> 0:08:03.840 should do here? 0:08:04.640 --> 0:08:08.120 Well, I mean I like Spencer Strider a lot my 0:08:08.320 --> 0:08:10.840 personal pitching tiers. There's a couple guys out here, but 0:08:10.880 --> 0:08:13.160 you got a long way to come back. 0:08:14.280 --> 0:08:16.600 Personally with the players that are out there. 0:08:16.440 --> 0:08:20.240 I'm probably going to avoid based on your spot with 0:08:20.280 --> 0:08:22.200 how long you have to go, I'm probably gonna go 0:08:22.200 --> 0:08:24.800 with the position player. Michael Harris is sitting out there 0:08:24.800 --> 0:08:25.800 outfield really stinks. 0:08:25.800 --> 0:08:26.360 That's not bad. 0:08:26.520 --> 0:08:28.280 But I wouldn't hate you for taking Strider. I mean 0:08:28.280 --> 0:08:29.880 I might hate you because I would think about maybe 0:08:29.880 --> 0:08:30.280 taking it. 0:08:30.520 --> 0:08:31.640 Yeah, that's about it. 0:08:31.640 --> 0:08:33.760 That's certainly one of them too. Look at a third 0:08:33.760 --> 0:08:36.720 base two, A few good names out there. I'm gonna 0:08:36.720 --> 0:08:39.079 go ahead and go for the shorts opposition here and 0:08:39.120 --> 0:08:41.480 go with lind Door get power, get speed, a guy 0:08:41.480 --> 0:08:43.560 who plays every day. I think the projections here we 0:08:43.640 --> 0:08:45.440 have are a little low on him too, So give 0:08:45.440 --> 0:08:49.199 me lind'or here. So I've got Lindor Goldschmidt and Julio 0:08:49.240 --> 0:08:51.800 to start my roster here. I'm gonna try to stay disciplined. 0:08:52.360 --> 0:08:54.720 Carlos Rodondo's at three to ZHO three, then Michael Harris 0:08:54.720 --> 0:08:56.560 through at four, Marcus Sivi another guy who was in 0:08:57.600 --> 0:09:00.600 competition there for my love at three zero five. Welsh, 0:09:00.640 --> 0:09:02.360 you're up at three oh six. So now that you 0:09:02.400 --> 0:09:03.679 talk to me out of Strider, are you gonna stick 0:09:03.679 --> 0:09:04.320 the knife in my back? 0:09:04.520 --> 0:09:04.640 I was? 0:09:04.960 --> 0:09:07.000 I mean I might because Striider is sitting out there 0:09:07.080 --> 0:09:09.960 right now. I don't love. 0:09:10.320 --> 0:09:12.079 See, here's the other thing we're dealing with, and it's 0:09:12.080 --> 0:09:13.800 staring me in the face is do I want to 0:09:13.840 --> 0:09:14.880 start this closer thing? 0:09:15.200 --> 0:09:16.400 And I don't know if I want. 0:09:16.280 --> 0:09:18.280 To love to start the closer thing. That's your mo 0:09:18.559 --> 0:09:18.880 I just. 0:09:18.800 --> 0:09:20.240 Don't like to get pushed back. 0:09:20.280 --> 0:09:22.840 But you know, Rodo is a little bit more of 0:09:22.880 --> 0:09:29.040 a problem with that third base. Ah my joke all 0:09:29.080 --> 0:09:31.800 these all right, you know what we are going to 0:09:31.880 --> 0:09:33.960 do that We're gonna go Strider because I'm hoping to 0:09:33.960 --> 0:09:37.880 do something coming on the on the turn here, All right, 0:09:37.920 --> 0:09:38.720 what do you got worm? 0:09:39.160 --> 0:09:42.319 We'll figure that out. Let's continue on here. So after 0:09:42.440 --> 0:09:45.760 Strider goes Real Muto three oh seven, hate that pick 0:09:45.800 --> 0:09:48.680 threehoe eight, You got Shane McClanahan. Edwin d Is at 0:09:48.679 --> 0:09:51.440 three oh nine. So there he goes jose Al Tuvey, 0:09:51.559 --> 0:09:54.560 Brendan Woodruff. Now the worm for the last picking three 0:09:54.559 --> 0:09:55.319 and the first pick and four. 0:09:55.440 --> 0:09:57.160 McClanahan was who I wanted, by the way I was, 0:09:57.200 --> 0:09:59.880 I was debating trying to get him coming back. So 0:10:00.000 --> 0:10:01.599 wouldn't worked anyway, So probably. 0:10:01.360 --> 0:10:03.000 Get him Dias, you got nothing. 0:10:03.360 --> 0:10:06.600 I probably would have taken McClanahan as well, even though 0:10:06.600 --> 0:10:08.800 I do tend to if I'm between two guys, I 0:10:08.840 --> 0:10:11.240 tend to go with the position player. Over over the 0:10:11.280 --> 0:10:13.480 picture kind of like you guys have talked about a bit, 0:10:13.800 --> 0:10:15.439 there are a lot of pictures that I like quite 0:10:15.480 --> 0:10:17.720 a bit. I think I'm at least going to take 0:10:17.840 --> 0:10:22.160 Aeronato obviously, with can be my shortstop, and then Aeronato. 0:10:22.200 --> 0:10:23.800 That's a great left side in field there. 0:10:23.840 --> 0:10:26.280 I think you know's gonna come in here and he's 0:10:26.280 --> 0:10:28.559 gonna win this draft. He's gonna piss me off. I'll 0:10:28.559 --> 0:10:29.480 tell you right now. 0:10:30.160 --> 0:10:31.640 I'm not so sure about that, but we'll see. 0:10:31.679 --> 0:10:34.160 I think I probably, I think I probably will take 0:10:34.200 --> 0:10:36.600 a picture here, just because picking on the turn you 0:10:36.679 --> 0:10:38.440 kind of do have to reach a little earlier than 0:10:38.480 --> 0:10:41.600 you might otherwise want to reach on a guy. I 0:10:41.640 --> 0:10:43.560 do like a lot of them. Obviously, you have the 0:10:43.600 --> 0:10:46.400 aging guys with surez Er and Erlander. I think Nola 0:10:46.600 --> 0:10:50.000 is probably the best guy here that I'm looking at. 0:10:50.600 --> 0:10:52.040 You know, there's a nice floor with Biab. 0:10:52.160 --> 0:10:54.160 I am gonna go with Nola, though, I think there's 0:10:54.160 --> 0:10:56.400 a lot of opportunities for Wins first and foremost with 0:10:56.440 --> 0:10:57.000 that lineup. 0:10:57.200 --> 0:10:58.880 Clearly, he had a great year last year, So I 0:10:58.920 --> 0:10:59.959 will go with Nola. 0:10:59.760 --> 0:11:04.240 Here, gentlemen, who's the sexier McClanahan Shane or Roue. That's 0:11:04.240 --> 0:11:07.120 my question. Roe McClanahan or Shane McClanahan. Who's sex here? 0:11:08.880 --> 0:11:11.600 McClanahan from the Golden Girls? Cheez, what's the popp? 0:11:12.160 --> 0:11:14.439 I also did not know who that you guys? 0:11:14.640 --> 0:11:18.600 What target audience there, Joe, Yeah, put. 0:11:18.480 --> 0:11:20.520 It on the vote knows who that Golden Girls are? 0:11:20.559 --> 0:11:20.640 You? 0:11:21.600 --> 0:11:23.880 I've heard of Golden Girls. I couldn't name any. 0:11:23.760 --> 0:11:26.000 Of Golden Girls, you know, Betty? 0:11:26.040 --> 0:11:26.079 What? 0:11:26.320 --> 0:11:29.960 There? You go? Anyway? Alex Bregman at four oh three, 0:11:30.120 --> 0:11:33.560 Emmanua class at four oh four, and then you have 0:11:33.640 --> 0:11:36.040 Luis Robert, Max Schurz or Welsh. You're up at four 0:11:36.040 --> 0:11:38.000 oh seven with twenty seven seconds. 0:11:38.240 --> 0:11:41.319 Yeah, I'm and I am doing a little like can 0:11:41.480 --> 0:11:42.559 I get sneaky? 0:11:42.679 --> 0:11:44.959 Can I get tricky here? With some stuff? 0:11:45.080 --> 0:11:47.559 And I think I'm gonna attempt to be sneaky here 0:11:48.080 --> 0:11:52.040 first and foremost. I'm gonna take one of the top pictures. 0:11:52.040 --> 0:11:54.000 I'm gonna go double picture and I didn't think I would. 0:11:54.040 --> 0:11:58.720 I'm gonna take Justin Verlander. Justin Verlander. Obviously, with the Mets, 0:11:59.160 --> 0:12:01.160 you can count on win, you can count on strikeouts, 0:12:01.200 --> 0:12:03.720 you can count on deep into games. My buddy Scott 0:12:03.720 --> 0:12:05.720 White his number one pitcher on the board, probably top 0:12:05.760 --> 0:12:06.600 five for many people. 0:12:06.679 --> 0:12:08.040 Dylan Ceese was on the board who. 0:12:07.880 --> 0:12:10.560 I passed up going with Verlander, and my hopes is 0:12:10.600 --> 0:12:13.440 I'm going to be able to sneak something back into 0:12:13.600 --> 0:12:16.120 the fifth round here as long as Joe doesn't ruin it. 0:12:16.240 --> 0:12:18.640 But you're in a good spot now, Joe, you're almost 0:12:18.720 --> 0:12:21.800 like a wheel spot. This is where you probably focus 0:12:21.840 --> 0:12:23.520 on starting pitching because it is. 0:12:24.200 --> 0:12:25.920 And I'm gonna go ahead with the top lift here 0:12:26.040 --> 0:12:28.640 that's being recon demended to me here at the Fantasy 0:12:28.640 --> 0:12:31.480 Pros Draft Wizard, and that Shane Bieber one hundred and 0:12:31.559 --> 0:12:34.120 ninety eight strikeouts projected. That sounds pretty good to me. 0:12:34.200 --> 0:12:36.400 Be read a nice season there for the Guardians. The 0:12:36.440 --> 0:12:39.600 in between picks though, just to rattle them off after Verlander. 0:12:39.640 --> 0:12:41.959 Matt Olsen Dylan Ceese, who I was looking at hoping 0:12:42.000 --> 0:12:43.760 to make it to me. He did not a Rose Arena. 0:12:43.960 --> 0:12:45.720 If he made it to me, I would have taken him. Yeah, 0:12:45.840 --> 0:12:48.080 Bieber at the turn, Corby and Carroll look at four 0:12:48.080 --> 0:12:50.240 to twelve. I think we're drafting against the Welsh spot 0:12:50.400 --> 0:12:53.959 and that number one team at a last Garcia at 0:12:53.960 --> 0:12:56.440 five o'h one. Back to me here at five oh two. 0:12:57.360 --> 0:12:59.680 I like some of the pictures here remaining, I don't 0:12:59.800 --> 0:13:02.520 love of them. That's my problem with this group here 0:13:03.240 --> 0:13:07.520 looking around offensively. Obviously it's guys like Kyle Schwarber who 0:13:07.559 --> 0:13:09.360 are still available to but I think I'm gonna go 0:13:09.400 --> 0:13:13.360 for some more speed here potentially. Also two guys at 0:13:13.400 --> 0:13:16.199 second base very intriguing to me, Jazz Chism Ozzie Alby's 0:13:16.240 --> 0:13:19.120 both still on the board. Uh, jazz is really fun, 0:13:19.200 --> 0:13:21.800 but Atlanta's a better team. So I'm gonna go with 0:13:21.840 --> 0:13:24.240 the counting stats there of Ozzi Alby's and hope that 0:13:24.240 --> 0:13:26.480 he gets more power out of him too. Tommy Edmund 0:13:26.760 --> 0:13:29.200 at five oh three, Jose Brady with five o four, 0:13:29.600 --> 0:13:32.080 Schwarber at five oh five, Welsh five oh six. You're 0:13:32.160 --> 0:13:32.679 up on the clock. 0:13:32.920 --> 0:13:35.640 I got as silent as you can get when you 0:13:35.679 --> 0:13:40.240 said the second baseman, because I went, oh, no, Joe's 0:13:40.280 --> 0:13:43.240 gonna ruin it all, and you kind of did. Because 0:13:43.280 --> 0:13:47.120 Ozzy is my backup. I love jazz. I'm a big 0:13:47.200 --> 0:13:52.280 jazz guy this year close slow jazz, yeah, exactly, whatever 0:13:52.520 --> 0:13:53.559 the acid jazz. 0:13:53.640 --> 0:13:54.679 I love all the jazz. 0:13:55.120 --> 0:13:58.000 The new cover boyfriend MLB the show, and I thought 0:13:58.000 --> 0:14:00.559 about taking him with the last pick. Second base stinks. 0:14:00.840 --> 0:14:03.960 He's my top second baseman. He's a little bit riskier, 0:14:04.160 --> 0:14:06.040 but you know what, I look at my team Bashett, 0:14:06.080 --> 0:14:08.920 Akunya Strider of Verlander. I don't have a lot of 0:14:08.920 --> 0:14:11.680 inherent risk right now, so this is the perfect spot. 0:14:11.840 --> 0:14:15.719 And I am chock full of twenty twenty guys on 0:14:15.760 --> 0:14:18.560 my offense, which I love, and two lead starting pitchers. 0:14:18.880 --> 0:14:20.320 This is a great start. I'm very happy. 0:14:20.400 --> 0:14:23.640 I'm happy with my start too, Goldschmidt, Albis, Lindor, Julio 0:14:23.720 --> 0:14:26.760 and Bieber. I'll take that to begin you know what, 0:14:26.840 --> 0:14:29.320 With Chisholm and Albis, to me, it was just again 0:14:29.400 --> 0:14:32.640 better team, more proven player. I love Jazz, he's very exciting, 0:14:32.680 --> 0:14:34.320 he's fun to watch, but I like. 0:14:34.280 --> 0:14:36.480 Team context is better for sure. Ki I also have 0:14:36.560 --> 0:14:39.640 them clumped. I think they're all very close. Yve, Simeon, 0:14:40.960 --> 0:14:44.320 Albi's and Jazz. All four of them are kind of 0:14:44.320 --> 0:14:46.800 a tier, and I don't hate anybody that gets anyone. 0:14:46.840 --> 0:14:48.560 That's why I wanted Alsby Albis to still be on 0:14:48.560 --> 0:14:50.920 the board so I would have a backup option. 0:14:51.600 --> 0:14:54.120 Josh Hater goes at five oh seven the Dalton var Show, 0:14:54.160 --> 0:14:56.680 George Springer, Corey Seeger. Nice deal there, five to ten. 0:14:56.720 --> 0:14:58.320 I'm high on Seeger this year. He's one of my 0:14:58.360 --> 0:15:02.400 backups at shortstop. Julio Eurias at five to eleven, and 0:15:02.440 --> 0:15:04.880 then Ryan on the clock here for five twelve and 0:15:04.880 --> 0:15:05.960 six oh one. What he got. 0:15:06.200 --> 0:15:08.400 Yeah, I'm gonna take Zach Wheeler with one of these. 0:15:09.160 --> 0:15:12.480 I really have a needed outfield so I consider doubling 0:15:12.560 --> 0:15:15.480 down on a couple of high upside outfielders. But I 0:15:15.840 --> 0:15:18.360 really like Wheeler this season. I think he's gonna be 0:15:18.400 --> 0:15:20.880 an awesome, you know, pitcher number two for me. Of course, 0:15:20.920 --> 0:15:23.520 I'm very heavily invested in the Phillies now at this point, 0:15:23.760 --> 0:15:27.840 with Nola and Wheeler, I am Phillies. I am going 0:15:27.920 --> 0:15:32.360 to take an outfielder with my other pick. I I 0:15:32.360 --> 0:15:35.040 think I probably should. There's a lot of guys that 0:15:35.240 --> 0:15:38.080 there's some question marks, but some really high ceilings here. 0:15:38.440 --> 0:15:40.040 I know he had the injury problems last year. I 0:15:40.080 --> 0:15:42.120 think I'm just gonna take Marte. I do really need 0:15:42.160 --> 0:15:45.080 some speed. I'm hoping that you know, pretty much any 0:15:45.160 --> 0:15:47.760 speed guy this season. I think you know, with the 0:15:47.840 --> 0:15:50.240 rule changes and stuff, you could see some high stole 0:15:50.320 --> 0:15:52.640 based totals there. I'm hoping that it's going to be healthy. 0:15:52.680 --> 0:15:54.360 That's an awesome lineup to be playing it. So I'm 0:15:54.360 --> 0:15:55.320 gonna take Marte. 0:15:55.720 --> 0:15:57.920 Yesterday did a show with Joe Rico. He's doing a 0:15:58.280 --> 0:16:00.240 previous of all the teams. We did the Mets because 0:16:00.280 --> 0:16:02.360 he had me on. Of course, mister mant and we 0:16:02.360 --> 0:16:04.680 were talking about Mark A. Turner. I like him better 0:16:04.800 --> 0:16:06.840 in you know, rodo season long than I do in 0:16:06.880 --> 0:16:09.680 head categories for that same reason. But I'm with you. 0:16:09.760 --> 0:16:13.120 I think the risk and the reward. I'm all about 0:16:13.160 --> 0:16:14.760 the reward here. I think it's a great pick where 0:16:14.800 --> 0:16:17.440 you have him there after Marte, Bryce Harper goes way 0:16:17.480 --> 0:16:19.440 too soon at six' oh. Two that's a waste of a. 0:16:19.480 --> 0:16:22.000 Pick burnett set it on. Fire i'll see him In. 0:16:22.040 --> 0:16:25.400 July ramano at six oh, Three Christian, Javier i'm mad 0:16:25.440 --> 0:16:27.440 at six oh. Four clearly that's The joe BOTT i 0:16:27.440 --> 0:16:29.640 thought he's gonna make it back to. Me, Bogarts Devin, 0:16:29.680 --> 0:16:32.280 williams and then The welsh at six oh. Seven what 0:16:32.320 --> 0:16:32.600 do you Got? 0:16:32.640 --> 0:16:35.040 Welsh, Well i'm contemplating a couple of. 0:16:35.120 --> 0:16:35.400 Things. 0:16:35.640 --> 0:16:38.320 UH i Think i'm gonna do this Because i'm very. 0:16:38.360 --> 0:16:40.160 Tempted there are a couple of pictures on the BOARD 0:16:40.240 --> 0:16:45.760 i really really. Like But outfield can, stink it staks 0:16:46.000 --> 0:16:48.640
