WEBVTT - The 10 Biggest Bounce-Back Candidates + 6 Undervalued Gems Based on Projections (Ep. 622) 0:00:00.120 --> 0:00:04.640 Bounce Back Central, let's talk to the pros. Welcome in 0:00:04.680 --> 0:00:07.720 everybody to Fantasy Pros. This is the Fantasy Baseball Podcast. 0:00:07.720 --> 0:00:10.720 It is me Joey p Joe Pizzapia, and today we're 0:00:10.760 --> 0:00:13.520 gonna take a look at ten bounce back candidates for 0:00:13.560 --> 0:00:16.160 the twenty twenty three season. That's right, last year is 0:00:16.200 --> 0:00:18.320 not the end all, be all for these guys. We're 0:00:18.320 --> 0:00:19.960 gonna tell you which names you want on your team 0:00:20.000 --> 0:00:22.280 to give a second chance, and we're also gonna talk 0:00:22.320 --> 0:00:25.160 about some of the projection gems some guys that it 0:00:25.200 --> 0:00:27.880 might be a little undervalued when it comes to projections 0:00:28.160 --> 0:00:30.680 that we think have a bigger twenty twenty three in 0:00:30.760 --> 0:00:32.480 store for them. And to help me do it, of course, 0:00:32.600 --> 0:00:35.120 is my partner the Welsh Chris Welsh, following on the 0:00:35.159 --> 0:00:37.879 Twitter machine at is it the Welsh and Welsh? I 0:00:38.000 --> 0:00:39.640 like second chances? How about you? 0:00:40.240 --> 0:00:44.040 Yeah, third, fourth, whatever, Yeah, give me all the chances 0:00:44.040 --> 0:00:46.400 you can get. Yeah. No, in baseball, I'm definitely with it. 0:00:46.760 --> 0:00:49.240 Also think, you know, you can look at it a 0:00:49.240 --> 0:00:51.920 couple different ways, as we look at sleepers different ways. 0:00:51.960 --> 0:00:54.040 You know, the term sleeper can mean a lot of 0:00:54.040 --> 0:00:57.760 different things, even bounce back candidates are not only second chances, 0:00:57.800 --> 0:01:01.440 but you know, you're looking at weird opportunities maybe lost 0:01:01.440 --> 0:01:04.679 by injury and stuff like that that can necessitate the 0:01:04.880 --> 0:01:06.760 bounce back, if you will. So there's a lot of 0:01:06.800 --> 0:01:08.800 different ways to look at this, and I am here 0:01:08.880 --> 0:01:11.120 for it. It's actually probably my biggest struggle Joe. Like 0:01:11.200 --> 0:01:14.600 I'm I'm a sucker for a guy that has performed 0:01:14.640 --> 0:01:17.320 really well, especially when they've done it, maybe even like 0:01:17.360 --> 0:01:20.600 two seasons, and then just something weird or odd takes 0:01:20.640 --> 0:01:22.920 them off the table. I got a hard time quitting them, 0:01:22.920 --> 0:01:25.720 whether it's prospects or major leaguers. And there are definitely 0:01:25.760 --> 0:01:28.679 quite a few on this list and your list, I 0:01:28.720 --> 0:01:31.559 think I pretty much take a little glance a glance 0:01:31.600 --> 0:01:34.720 at the Joe list here. Yeah, pretty much agree with 0:01:34.920 --> 0:01:37.479 almost top ten. There's actually one I don't, But there's 0:01:37.480 --> 0:01:39.240 a couple on there that I would have picked had 0:01:39.280 --> 0:01:42.199 you not. But Joe got to the sheet first, folks. 0:01:42.240 --> 0:01:44.760 Well, the advantage of making the sheet is that you 0:01:44.800 --> 0:01:46.400 get to put all your stuff in the sheet first. 0:01:46.400 --> 0:01:48.440 But I'll say this, you know, it's always different reasons too. 0:01:48.480 --> 0:01:51.880 Sometimes it's injuries, sometimes it's you know, guy, you know 0:01:51.880 --> 0:01:55.000 signs a big contract, puts that onus upon themselves. Sometimes 0:01:55.280 --> 0:01:58.240 it's just circumstances beyond their control, or the team starts 0:01:58.560 --> 0:02:00.880 jettising players around them, they lose line of protection. There's 0:02:00.920 --> 0:02:05.000 so many reasons why guys sometimes have down years. I mean, 0:02:05.000 --> 0:02:08.120 sometimes it's just personal things. They're actually people, everybody, believe 0:02:08.120 --> 0:02:10.320 it or not. Let's jump into some of these names. 0:02:10.440 --> 0:02:13.080 Let's talk about him. Let's start here with my number 0:02:13.080 --> 0:02:16.840 one guy, which is Nick Castilianos. To me, Casianos is 0:02:16.880 --> 0:02:20.440 the perfect suitor of what I just mentioned, which is, 0:02:20.440 --> 0:02:23.200 you know, first spot in the new city. We've seen 0:02:23.200 --> 0:02:25.200 this happen plenty of times in the past, where I 0:02:25.280 --> 0:02:27.840 think when a player like Nick Casiganos, he's got such 0:02:27.840 --> 0:02:30.560 a good track record behind him that you're not really 0:02:30.600 --> 0:02:33.000 concerned about the kind of player he is. I think 0:02:33.000 --> 0:02:35.400 it's just a matter of now that you know, you 0:02:35.400 --> 0:02:38.000 can relax into this setting in Philadelphia. And I'll tell 0:02:38.000 --> 0:02:41.639 you why. With Albryce Harper for the first three plus 0:02:41.680 --> 0:02:44.120 months of the season, they're gonna need Casianos. They're gonna 0:02:44.160 --> 0:02:46.120 need him to really kind of bounce back and be 0:02:46.160 --> 0:02:47.239 the guy he was. And if you look at some 0:02:47.280 --> 0:02:49.639 of the deeper numbers, they're still pretty good. I know 0:02:49.800 --> 0:02:51.800 last year was a huge disappointment in the power department, 0:02:51.800 --> 0:02:55.160 only thirteen home runs. He did steal seven bags, which 0:02:55.200 --> 0:02:57.040 is not you know, normally what you get out of him. 0:02:57.080 --> 0:02:58.920 But you know, if you go back to the twenty 0:02:58.960 --> 0:03:01.480 twenty one numbers where thirty four home runs and drove 0:03:01.520 --> 0:03:04.000 in one hundred, I don't necessarily expect that, but I 0:03:04.000 --> 0:03:06.359 think you can get somebody closer to that twenty six 0:03:06.400 --> 0:03:09.200 to one hundred, that twenty seven to ninety kind of 0:03:09.200 --> 0:03:12.799 a player in Nick Castiano's it's a favorable home run ballpark. 0:03:12.960 --> 0:03:14.880 I think it's just a matter of first year in 0:03:14.919 --> 0:03:19.440 a new place, pressing a lot. He's a very personality wise. 0:03:19.440 --> 0:03:21.560 I think Casiana's a little wound up kind of a dude. 0:03:21.560 --> 0:03:22.840 I think we've seen that in the past of the 0:03:22.880 --> 0:03:25.200 Cincinnati days, so I think it was hard for him 0:03:25.200 --> 0:03:27.080 to kind of relax and settle in this year. I 0:03:27.160 --> 0:03:29.720 expect him to do that, and like I said, I 0:03:29.760 --> 0:03:31.440 think they're going to really need him, and he's looking 0:03:31.480 --> 0:03:33.679 right now. I mean, the ECRs won twenty one, the 0:03:33.720 --> 0:03:36.640 ADP is one thirty overall, He's coming at a pretty 0:03:36.680 --> 0:03:40.080 good price. Where outfield is rough and a guy like 0:03:40.120 --> 0:03:43.560 Casiano's going as the thirty third outfielder overall, I think 0:03:43.560 --> 0:03:45.080 you could do a lot worse than. 0:03:44.960 --> 0:03:47.680 That Welsh Yeah, you know, and in taking a look 0:03:47.720 --> 0:03:49.760 at him too, there's a lot of things that don't 0:03:49.800 --> 0:03:52.680 feel crazy off. It was a lot about hard hit. 0:03:53.160 --> 0:03:54.840 It was a lot about that. I mean, he was 0:03:54.840 --> 0:03:58.520 striking the ball at quite a lower rate as far 0:03:58.560 --> 0:04:00.720 as career wise, and usually is. Hard hit percentage was 0:04:00.760 --> 0:04:03.400 thirty four point six percent, which was the second lowest 0:04:03.440 --> 0:04:06.160 of his career. And my point is like that's an anomaly. 0:04:06.360 --> 0:04:09.280 You know, he's been in the forty percent five straight 0:04:09.400 --> 0:04:12.320 seasons in there. X slug was actually a little bit 0:04:12.400 --> 0:04:15.000 higher than his slug as far as expected goes, and 0:04:15.200 --> 0:04:18.360 most everything else kind of in line sat there. You know, 0:04:18.440 --> 0:04:20.919 launch angle, barrel percentage is a little bit lower, but 0:04:20.960 --> 0:04:23.280 you talk about pressing, that's kind of it. He's going 0:04:23.360 --> 0:04:25.720 to be really really counted on this year, is going 0:04:25.760 --> 0:04:27.360 to be locked into that team a little bit more. 0:04:27.360 --> 0:04:29.520 You got Trey Turner who might be hitting at the 0:04:29.560 --> 0:04:31.480 top of the lineup, which is probably going to also 0:04:31.520 --> 0:04:34.120 create some problems as far as defenses go, and maybe 0:04:34.120 --> 0:04:36.640 more RBI opportunities. I really like the bounce back on 0:04:36.680 --> 0:04:39.360 Castianis because he feels like I like, he gets lost 0:04:39.400 --> 0:04:41.640 in the shuffle of outfielders, Like you don't think about him, 0:04:41.680 --> 0:04:43.120 you don't look, and then all of a sudden, you're 0:04:43.160 --> 0:04:45.000 like one hundred and fifteen and you're like, all right, 0:04:45.000 --> 0:04:47.440 I need a third outfielder or second outfielder, and you're like, oh, 0:04:47.520 --> 0:04:50.320 Castianos is still there. He's a good buyback, all right. 0:04:50.360 --> 0:04:51.920 So who is the first guy you want to talk about? 0:04:51.960 --> 0:04:54.000 And the bounce back candidates for twenty three. 0:04:54.279 --> 0:04:57.880 So the bounce back really has to do with the injury. 0:04:58.200 --> 0:04:59.760 When I was thinking about this, like I said, I thought, 0:05:00.080 --> 0:05:03.440 you actually encapsulated on the majority of these really good 0:05:03.640 --> 0:05:07.640 bounce back guys that struggled maybe out of weird performance things. 0:05:08.040 --> 0:05:11.760 This is one that this player was lining up to 0:05:11.839 --> 0:05:13.359 be what I think would have been one of the 0:05:13.400 --> 0:05:17.640 bigger statistical seasons, and the time taken away has kind 0:05:17.680 --> 0:05:19.960 of pushed him back at his position. And it's jazz chisseum. 0:05:20.000 --> 0:05:22.880 And I know that might feel weird. You like bounce back, Well, 0:05:23.360 --> 0:05:25.839 he's not. Imagine had he played the season, the guy 0:05:25.920 --> 0:05:28.560 was lining up to be a thirty twenty player, and 0:05:28.680 --> 0:05:30.880 what a thirty twenty players do They go in the 0:05:30.880 --> 0:05:33.279 first round. Well, right, Jazz is not going in the 0:05:33.279 --> 0:05:35.600 first round, and he's not going in the second or third, 0:05:35.640 --> 0:05:39.000 and he's going off as about the fourth second baseman 0:05:39.279 --> 0:05:42.279 if you will across the board. And you know, Jazz 0:05:42.520 --> 0:05:45.480 was really he's always been like this big, crazy poll hitter. 0:05:45.640 --> 0:05:48.120 He was really starting to establish himself. Walk percentage went 0:05:48.200 --> 0:05:51.520 up by two percent, strikeout percentage went down, batting average 0:05:51.560 --> 0:05:53.279 was kind of like stabilizing if he could be a 0:05:53.279 --> 0:05:56.240 two to fifty guy. Projections still really like him, and 0:05:56.279 --> 0:05:59.760 the batex has him as almost that twenty thirty guy 0:05:59.800 --> 0:06:02.680 to anyone Homer's twenty nine stolen bases. So this is 0:06:02.720 --> 0:06:05.480 a little bit of a different situation where it's not 0:06:05.520 --> 0:06:08.880 necessarily about like one off year of performance, but that 0:06:09.000 --> 0:06:11.719 off time miss. Plus he's moving positions, which I think 0:06:11.760 --> 0:06:15.200 just has people weirded out about him going to center field. 0:06:15.440 --> 0:06:17.960 I think Jazz is prime for a bounce back off 0:06:17.960 --> 0:06:19.800 of the injury and it's going to put up some 0:06:19.800 --> 0:06:21.600 big stats. And like I said, if he's a twenty 0:06:21.680 --> 0:06:24.440 thirty guy that is first round, like that's just what 0:06:24.440 --> 0:06:26.839 it did, and let's tell you guys, that's first round talent. 0:06:27.040 --> 0:06:28.440 That's why I'm so high on Jazz. 0:06:28.839 --> 0:06:31.040 Yeah. Look, I think you drafted him yesterday, didn't you. 0:06:31.080 --> 0:06:32.159 Do you have Chishem on your team? 0:06:32.400 --> 0:06:34.400 Yeah? I think so. I mean I try you. I 0:06:34.480 --> 0:06:34.960 think you did it. 0:06:35.000 --> 0:06:37.359 I want to say you did. If you missed that, 0:06:37.400 --> 0:06:39.880 go check it out.

Now, Rosario is going pretty late. He 0:07:27.520 --> 0:07:30.400 is like in the nineties in the outfield range, and 0:07:30.440 --> 0:07:32.560 I understand, you know, he'll probably play mostly against right 0:07:32.560 --> 0:07:35.480 handed pitching, but in those deeper leagues, we're really looking 0:07:35.520 --> 0:07:38.440 for some help. If the vision is right, I'm not 0:07:38.560 --> 0:07:40.920 chasing the thirty two to one oh nine season from 0:07:40.960 --> 0:07:42.680 twenty nineteen. I'm not doing that when it comes to 0:07:42.760 --> 0:07:45.120 Eddi Rosario. But what I am gonna do with Eddie 0:07:45.160 --> 0:07:47.200 Rosario and say to myself, all right, is this guy 0:07:47.240 --> 0:07:50.400 healthy enough to give me one hundred and thirty games 0:07:50.520 --> 0:07:52.640 or somewhere in that range, Because if he does, and 0:07:52.640 --> 0:07:53.880 if you look at some of those years that he 0:07:53.920 --> 0:07:56.320 posted with the Twins, he had a twenty five home 0:07:56.400 --> 0:07:58.320 run guy. And I think we're all searching for some 0:07:58.440 --> 0:08:00.640 late power and Eddie Rosario could be one of these 0:08:00.680 --> 0:08:03.119 guys that I think that if you look at spring training, 0:08:03.160 --> 0:08:04.960 it doesn't mean a whole lot for a lot of people, 0:08:05.400 --> 0:08:07.440 but for guys like Eddie Rosario, it does. You want 0:08:07.480 --> 0:08:08.880 to see that he's healthy. You want to see that 0:08:08.920 --> 0:08:11.320 he's seeing the ball well, but you also want to 0:08:11.320 --> 0:08:14.040 see him have some early success because I think he does. 0:08:14.520 --> 0:08:17.320 There's a really good omen for the twenty twenty three season, 0:08:17.400 --> 0:08:18.840 and he's basically a free player. 0:08:18.880 --> 0:08:21.360 Welsh, Yeah, Okay, he is free. So this is the 0:08:21.400 --> 0:08:23.600 one that I don't like. I'm not with of your 0:08:23.600 --> 0:08:25.680 list or the other four. I buy three of them. 0:08:25.720 --> 0:08:28.240 I'm very, very staunching at Castianos. Is one actually your 0:08:28.320 --> 0:08:31.160 last two? Like one hundred percent. When I knew the 0:08:31.200 --> 0:08:32.800 topic I was going to put on here and you'd 0:08:32.800 --> 0:08:34.800 already got to them. This is the one that I'm 0:08:34.880 --> 0:08:37.600 just not with, though he's free, And I try to 0:08:37.600 --> 0:08:39.240 make this case a whole lot, because I feel like 0:08:39.679 --> 0:08:42.200 sometimes in fantasy baseball, we all just get stuck in 0:08:42.200 --> 0:08:44.480 this circle where it's like everybody's got to talk about 0:08:44.559 --> 0:08:47.640 the furthest down players, and there's a problem with everybody 0:08:47.720 --> 0:08:49.480 and dah dah da da da, And then people will 0:08:49.520 --> 0:08:51.800 pick on a guy that's like two sixty and they're like, well, 0:08:51.800 --> 0:08:53.120 this guy is really going to be a bus, and 0:08:53.120 --> 0:08:54.680 it's like it's hard to be a bus at that level. 0:08:54.679 --> 0:08:57.120 So I'm gonna acknowledge that that Eddy wasor is free, 0:08:57.160 --> 0:08:59.800 which is nice. But the problem is, yeah, he's absolutely free. 0:09:00.000 --> 0:09:03.320 The problem is strikeout rate went way up, contact rate 0:09:03.440 --> 0:09:06.760 way down. He looks like he's in a platoon right 0:09:06.800 --> 0:09:09.160 now with Marcello Zoon. I know Zunu can play DH, 0:09:09.240 --> 0:09:11.640 but they also want Travis Darnault, something they kind of 0:09:11.640 --> 0:09:14.120 promised when they brought in Sean Murphy. I just don't 0:09:14.120 --> 0:09:17.280 know if the playing time is consistent, and I'm worried 0:09:17.280 --> 0:09:19.800 about a player like this being able to have the 0:09:19.840 --> 0:09:22.440 opportunity to get hot, and I don't think that's there 0:09:22.480 --> 0:09:26.040 for him. But he's free, so the bounce back is 0:09:26.160 --> 0:09:28.880 really guess what I want to. 0:09:28.520 --> 0:09:30.600 Remind you remember a couple of years ago when Mitch 0:09:30.600 --> 0:09:33.680 Hanneger was free. He was a free player with the power. 0:09:33.720 --> 0:09:35.760 He had that huge power spike season. I'm not saying 0:09:35.760 --> 0:09:38.120 he's gonna do that, but I think the Braves really 0:09:38.160 --> 0:09:40.000 need some more help in the middle of that lineup 0:09:40.080 --> 0:09:41.720 right now, and I think he could be that kind 0:09:41.720 --> 0:09:43.800 of guy if he gets off to a good start 0:09:43.800 --> 0:09:45.600 in the spring. Like I said, spring is very important 0:09:45.600 --> 0:09:48.000 for his rio. I wanted to prove that the vision 0:09:48.040 --> 0:09:50.280 problems are correct, and I wanted to prove that he's healthy. 0:09:50.480 --> 0:09:53.040 And look I brought it up. He's not gonna play 0:09:53.080 --> 0:09:55.160 every single day. The fact they have the DH of 0:09:55.200 --> 0:09:58.440 the National League now helps his case to being, you know, 0:09:58.480 --> 0:10:00.000 getting more at bats than you realize. 0:10:00.440 --> 0:10:03.160 But to your point, and my breaking news is it's 0:10:03.200 --> 0:10:06.240 not hard to bounce back off of five homers in 0:10:06.280 --> 0:10:09.400 three stolen bases in eighty games. It's actually pretty easy 0:10:09.440 --> 0:10:12.000 for him. Guy had thirty two homers just a couple 0:10:12.000 --> 0:10:15.000 of years ago. Though he has not had more than 0:10:15.040 --> 0:10:18.440 fourteen homers since twenty twenty, it's still a pretty easy 0:10:18.480 --> 0:10:21.280 bounce back for a free player. Not my favorite of 0:10:21.320 --> 0:10:23.600 your picks here, but I really don't understand the logic. 0:10:24.040 --> 0:10:26.880 That's fine, twenty twenty, it's only fifty seven games to 0:10:26.880 --> 0:10:29.520 be played because of COVID. So thirteen homers of fifty 0:10:29.559 --> 0:10:31.959 seven games. That ain't so bad, baby, that's you're right, 0:10:32.000 --> 0:10:34.600 that's a pretty good extrapolation. Nation. All right, let's get 0:10:34.600 --> 0:10:37.040 to your number two. Who is the one guy I 0:10:37.040 --> 0:10:38.680 should have put on my list but I didn't. 0:10:38.960 --> 0:10:41.160 Yeah, I was actually surprised about this because you're stealing 0:10:41.160 --> 0:10:43.719 all the good names here. This is one that really 0:10:43.800 --> 0:10:45.640 kind of qualifies more on the list of what you 0:10:45.720 --> 0:10:48.040 put together. There's only just so many that you can have. 0:10:48.080 --> 0:10:51.040 It's Ilo, Jim and az Aloe, who has only played 0:10:51.559 --> 0:10:53.640 over one hundred games once, that was his rookie year. 0:10:53.679 --> 0:10:56.560 That's been a big problem in the short sample sizes. 0:10:56.600 --> 0:10:58.760 He's always putting up big stats. He's had double digit 0:10:58.800 --> 0:11:02.560 homers three straight years, where two of them he played 0:11:02.600 --> 0:11:05.640 fifty five games apiece. Health is always a big issue. 0:11:05.800 --> 0:11:09.160 I saw him at camp about a five days ago 0:11:09.240 --> 0:11:12.679 or so. Looked a little bit skinnier, like maybe a 0:11:12.720 --> 0:11:14.959 little bit of weight loss, which is probably a good thing. 0:11:15.160 --> 0:11:18.240 Strikeout percentage was down this past year. It's really about 0:11:18.240 --> 0:11:21.560 health because last year he still had a career high 0:11:21.600 --> 0:11:24.680 average exit velocity. He was up in the top ten 0:11:24.760 --> 0:11:27.880 percent of max EV. He had a x slug which 0:11:27.920 --> 0:11:30.160 was over five hundred, so that's still maintaining in a 0:11:30.200 --> 0:11:32.600 three sixty five x WOE but with a three seventy one. 0:11:32.640 --> 0:11:34.600 But all that stuff is just telling you with a 0:11:34.640 --> 0:11:37.120 fifty four percent hard hit rate, he makes a lot 0:11:37.120 --> 0:11:39.680 of contact and he's gonna barrel up the ball a 0:11:39.679 --> 0:11:41.880 bunch and he's got great rob Howard Guy hit two 0:11:41.960 --> 0:11:44.320 ninety five last year, and two of his four seasons 0:11:44.360 --> 0:11:47.240 he has hit two ninety five or better. And I 0:11:47.280 --> 0:11:51.360 think we could all see a situation where Eloy Jimenez 0:11:51.400 --> 0:11:53.520 can get going. We just all know that the team 0:11:53.600 --> 0:11:56.280 really needs to make a commitment to keeping him at DH, 0:11:56.360 --> 0:11:58.160 and I don't know if they are going to be 0:11:58.240 --> 0:12:00.560 fully committed to that. Plus the other that's a little 0:12:00.559 --> 0:12:02.600 bit worrisome with them is they're just all their guys 0:12:02.640 --> 0:12:04.520 are injured. Like even if they were like, okay, guys, 0:12:04.760 --> 0:12:07.000 they sit around a table, they're like, we're gonna do this. 0:12:07.440 --> 0:12:11.640 We are going to get Eloy at DH. Robert, Ben 0:12:11.640 --> 0:12:13.800 and Tendee and then co Los, we're gonna put you 0:12:13.840 --> 0:12:17.600 in the outfield. Robert's not the pillar of health. And 0:12:17.640 --> 0:12:19.600 I don't know if you necessarily say that about Ben 0:12:19.640 --> 0:12:21.480 and Tendee as well, that they might be put into 0:12:21.480 --> 0:12:23.360 situations where they feel they need to get him out there. 0:12:23.360 --> 0:12:24.760 If we can get him to DH and we can 0:12:24.800 --> 0:12:28.920 keep him healthy, Eloy Jimenez will get back. Projections over 0:12:28.920 --> 0:12:32.679 one hundred and thirty games vary from twenty five essentially 0:12:32.720 --> 0:12:34.640 to thirty home runs. I think he's going to put 0:12:34.679 --> 0:12:36.319 up thirty homers this year, if he plays one hundred 0:12:36.320 --> 0:12:38.959 and twenty five games, make a ton of contact, and 0:12:39.000 --> 0:12:42.120 those running RBI totals to be great. He's a good, good, good, 0:12:42.200 --> 0:12:45.000 five category player. He just comes with some risk and 0:12:45.040 --> 0:12:48.240 that's why we can get a bounce back because he's teetered. 0:12:48.320 --> 0:12:50.920 Joe teetered. And by the way, did you know this 0:12:50.960 --> 0:12:52.800 is a fascinating fact. I had no idea. Do you 0:12:52.800 --> 0:12:55.400 know Elo Jimenez has zero career steals. I had no 0:12:55.480 --> 0:12:57.120 idea about that. He has never stolen a base in 0:12:57.160 --> 0:13:02.200 his career. He is becoming I think, the outfield version 0:13:02.240 --> 0:13:04.920 of Carlos Korea, where it's just like he never actually 0:13:05.000 --> 0:13:07.480 lives up to the potential that we're putting on him. 0:13:07.520 --> 0:13:09.400 And it makes me sad. I don't want to put 0:13:09.440 --> 0:13:13.400 bad on him yet, but you're you're might not be off. Look, 0:13:13.640 --> 0:13:15.640 I think him is going to play more games than 0:13:15.679 --> 0:13:18.280 that this year. I think the White Socks arena need 0:13:18.360 --> 0:13:21.880 him to to justify their investment in him as well. 0:13:22.000 --> 0:13:23.440 I mean, let's he's one of these guys that they 0:13:23.440 --> 0:13:26.199 made their early investment in along with Robert, and I 0:13:26.280 --> 0:13:27.600 think when you do that, you guys are looking at 0:13:27.600 --> 0:13:29.400 these guys and saying, Hey, you know, Jose Brady's not 0:13:29.440 --> 0:13:31.840 here anymore. You guys have to carry this offense and 0:13:31.880 --> 0:13:34.400 be the guy. So, whether it be a rotation in 0:13:34.400 --> 0:13:35.880 the outfielders, you're saying, you don't want to get these 0:13:35.880 --> 0:13:37.520 guys in the outfield too much, But an attendee's a 0:13:37.559 --> 0:13:41.319 much better defender obviously co loss as well. So look, 0:13:41.880 --> 0:13:44.320 you're one hundred percent right. DH is where he should be, 0:13:45.080 --> 0:13:47.240 and if he just has a healthy enough season to 0:13:47.280 --> 0:13:49.280 even get to one hundred and forty something games, that 0:13:49.320 --> 0:13:52.000 would be I think very eye opening, and I think 0:13:52.000 --> 0:13:54.480 he comes at a grid enough value to do that. 0:13:54.600 --> 0:13:56.080 Let's take a quick break in the action to tell 0:13:56.120 --> 0:13:59.240 you about fan Tracks.

Next on my list is Jesse Winker and 0:15:34.040 --> 0:15:35.920 that's right, Jesse Winker season last year. 0:15:36.160 --> 0:15:37.000 Today I saw him. 0:15:37.000 --> 0:15:39.480 It was pretty awful. Did you say hello to inform me? 0:15:39.560 --> 0:15:41.280 I said, for you, I said hey, Joe says hello, 0:15:41.360 --> 0:15:43.040 and he was like, man, thank you so much, Joe. 0:15:43.120 --> 0:15:44.800 And you know, I'm so glad he likes me. Now, 0:15:44.880 --> 0:15:46.720 last year I didn't like him, so he's probably pissed 0:15:46.760 --> 0:15:49.080 off of me. Still. It was just the ADP was 0:15:49.080 --> 0:15:51.240 way too high. And the reason why you know, he's 0:15:51.280 --> 0:15:54.000 a career You know, if you look at his career 0:15:55.000 --> 0:15:58.520 batting average against left handed pitching, okay, and not even 0:15:58.600 --> 0:16:00.440 like the breakout ye because a breakout, he was still 0:16:00.440 --> 0:16:04.080 bad against lefties okay, he was just monumentally good against 0:16:04.160 --> 0:16:06.320 right handed pitching. He's still a two to five career 0:16:06.400 --> 0:16:08.720 hitter against left handed pitching for his career with a 0:16:08.720 --> 0:16:11.440 six to sixty one. Ohps, he's terrible. He is practically 0:16:11.480 --> 0:16:14.520 a platoon player, but he is coming in a discount 0:16:14.520 --> 0:16:17.040 this year. He is on the good side here, being 0:16:17.080 --> 0:16:18.800 the left handed bat where he's going to face a 0:16:18.800 --> 0:16:20.480 lot more right handed pitching. He's going to be out 0:16:20.480 --> 0:16:23.040 there in good spots, and because he's in a favorable 0:16:23.040 --> 0:16:25.640 home run ballpark, I think this is a player that 0:16:25.680 --> 0:16:28.320 you can look for some sort of moderate bounce back. 0:16:28.480 --> 0:16:30.640 I have zero expectations for him to get to the 0:16:30.640 --> 0:16:33.800 guy who you know, hit three zero five with those 0:16:33.880 --> 0:16:36.280 kind of splits in your career is not something you're 0:16:36.400 --> 0:16:38.480 likely going to do. But can you get to that 0:16:38.520 --> 0:16:40.920 two to eighty mark. Can you give me twenty home 0:16:41.000 --> 0:16:43.240 runs or even eighteen home runs? I think there will 0:16:43.280 --> 0:16:45.560 be a pretty good situation there for Jesse Winker. I 0:16:45.640 --> 0:16:47.280 like the Brewers this year. I have money on them 0:16:47.280 --> 0:16:50.320 already to win the Division. I think the Jesse Winker 0:16:50.560 --> 0:16:54.720 this year is a much better let's invest in find 0:16:54.720 --> 0:16:57.320 out player because last year you were paying for what 0:16:57.440 --> 0:16:59.760 you got, which was an all star caliber player going 0:16:59.760 --> 0:17:01.520 into twenty twenty two, and I just did not think 0:17:01.560 --> 0:17:04.040 he was that. So to me, it's just now all 0:17:04.080 --> 0:17:07.439 about the guy is at the right price point and 0:17:07.520 --> 0:17:11.000 at two thirty one. Overall, it's a decent investment once again, 0:17:11.080 --> 0:17:12.560 not gonna cost me much to be wrong. 0:17:13.119 --> 0:17:16.719 Yeah, he said this is like a totally weird anecdotal thing, 0:17:16.840 --> 0:17:21.040 but seemed in really good spirits. Today, actually couldn't find him, 0:17:21.240 --> 0:17:23.600 so all the other players at Brewer's camp and was 0:17:23.640 --> 0:17:27.200 focused on William Contreras and Willia Damas and Rowdy Talez. 0:17:27.240 --> 0:17:29.000 I got a little bit of video of and then 0:17:29.040 --> 0:17:31.320 Winker just popped out. And I've never and I was 0:17:31.359 --> 0:17:35.639 around him with the Mariners last year, and brooding would 0:17:35.640 --> 0:17:38.520 be a description I would give to you his mentality. 0:17:38.600 --> 0:17:40.480 It's tough, you know, player spends his whole life with 0:17:40.520 --> 0:17:43.760
