It's true, so 0:02:18.080 --> 0:02:21.720 all the colors, this guy, it's real. What's the content 0:02:21.840 --> 0:02:24.400 that you need doing my job? So tonight I'll have 0:02:24.520 --> 0:02:25.880 to work on the outfields. I could have done it 0:02:25.960 --> 0:02:27.920 last night instead of I had a debate to watch, 0:02:28.280 --> 0:02:31.720 so I couldn't do it one of those.

Note word on how many 0:03:33.280 --> 0:03:36.200 games Malik Monk will miss at this point, but he 0:03:36.280 --> 0:03:40.120 has suspended indefinitely, so he will be off the roster 0:03:40.320 --> 0:03:43.800 tonight when the Hornets host the Knicks seven ten pm 0:03:43.880 --> 0:03:48.240 Eastern Times. Hornets are getting two points in that matchup, 0:03:48.280 --> 0:03:50.920 two of seven your total.

Rockets favored by eleven and a half points 0:03:56.960 --> 0:03:59.400 to thirty seven and a half on your total.

Let's go to the MLB score card here. 0:04:17.960 --> 0:04:20.720 Spring training games going on. But the news is J. D. 0:04:20.880 --> 0:04:25.360 Davis and m R I revealed Wednesday. No new structural 0:04:25.520 --> 0:04:29.240 damage per mets GM Brody Van wagon In looks like 0:04:29.440 --> 0:04:33.520 Davis has an avoided significant injury. And Justin Verlander, the 0:04:33.640 --> 0:04:38.000 astros ace and number three pitcher on Frank Stanfold and 0:04:38.120 --> 0:04:43.560 Greg Susten's players starting pitchers list has been scratched Thursday. 0:04:44.360 --> 0:04:48.960 Not significant injuries though expected there. And Maria sherf Polva 0:04:49.120 --> 0:04:54.320 tennis star, five time Grand Slam champion has retired from tennis. 0:04:55.000 --> 0:04:59.040 That's it nineteen years. The turney two year old Russian 0:04:59.120 --> 0:05:01.800 reached number one in the w t A rankings in 0:05:03.839 --> 0:05:08.680 eight and twenty twelve, but has dropped to in the 0:05:08.720 --> 0:05:12.200 world the last ranking she was involved in. That's it 0:05:12.279 --> 0:05:14.880 from Maria Charova and that's it for me with your 0:05:14.960 --> 0:05:18.840 BFFs sports script news update guys, back to all right, 0:05:18.880 --> 0:05:22.760 Thanks a lot there, sewn. Maria Sharapova to quote book 0:05:22.760 --> 0:05:25.960 of t five time, five time, five time, five time, 0:05:26.200 --> 0:05:30.320 five time Grand Slam Champion, hanging it up, hanging up 0:05:30.360 --> 0:05:32.680 the racket? Is that what they call it? I don't know. Anyway, 0:05:32.680 --> 0:05:35.200 We're gonna get into our starting pitcher preview Part two, 0:05:35.279 --> 0:05:37.800 the rest of the show here on the Fantasy BFS, 0:05:37.920 --> 0:05:42.000 specifically getting out our top forty seven starting pitchers, and 0:05:42.080 --> 0:05:46.920 we'll give you some sleepers as well as well. You do, 0:05:47.040 --> 0:05:48.960 Greg something like to say as well, But what we 0:05:49.040 --> 0:05:51.760 also have is a snippet of the NBA tip trill 0:05:51.800 --> 0:05:55.400 from earlier today, Greg Susman with Daily Rhodo dot COM's 0:05:55.560 --> 0:05:58.320 Drew dink Meyer to talk about one of the players 0:05:58.360 --> 0:06:01.159 that they're focusing on tonight in the NBA b F slate. 0:06:13.360 --> 0:06:15.960 Let's go over to shooting guard here, Drew, and that Raises. 0:06:16.040 --> 0:06:19.839 Now do well Marta Rosen, which makes sense because La 0:06:19.839 --> 0:06:22.520 Marcus Aldres is not in there tonight, like end, A 0:06:22.600 --> 0:06:24.600 lot more of that coming your way. But in these 0:06:24.640 --> 0:06:28.400 games between San Antonio and Dallas, you gotta like Tmarta Rosen. Yeah, 0:06:28.600 --> 0:06:31.360 Tmarta Rosen. In the games without LaMarcus Alders this year, 0:06:31.480 --> 0:06:34.160 his usage rate a shot up to over thirty. The 0:06:34.240 --> 0:06:37.960 rebounding and the assist rates have have bounced up as well, 0:06:38.040 --> 0:06:40.839 and so he's just got a huge opportunity set whenever 0:06:40.960 --> 0:06:43.200 LaMarcus Aldridge is off the floor. And that's consistent when 0:06:43.200 --> 0:06:45.520 you look at on a game level basis, or just 0:06:45.720 --> 0:06:47.680 in the regular season when they both played in the 0:06:47.720 --> 0:06:49.440 same game and Aldred just been off the floor, the 0:06:49.520 --> 0:06:52.240 use of right really skyrockets. So you know, thirty five 0:06:52.360 --> 0:06:55.280 plus minutes of that tonight against Dallas, a team that 0:06:55.600 --> 0:06:57.440 you know plays fast and is a little bit loose 0:06:57.440 --> 0:06:59.720 around the defensive side of the ball, a really good 0:06:59.760 --> 0:07:01.520 price tag on to Marta Rosen. It doesn't look like 0:07:01.560 --> 0:07:05.160 it's been adjusted for the assumption that Aldridges out price 0:07:05.279 --> 0:07:08.159 below seven thousand. You should really take advantage of that tonight. 0:07:08.279 --> 0:07:09.760 This is kind of like the c j MC Collumns 0:07:09.800 --> 0:07:12.800 situation from the last few nights, where without Damian Lillard, 0:07:12.880 --> 0:07:15.400 c j MC Collins rates explode without LaMarcus soldiers to 0:07:15.480 --> 0:07:17.880 Marta Rosen's rates explode. I don't know if we'll quite 0:07:17.920 --> 0:07:20.040 get the performances from tomorrow that we've been getting from 0:07:20.080 --> 0:07:21.840 c J, but I think it's very likely to pay 0:07:21.880 --> 0:07:25.840 off the six price tag and shout out to Daily 0:07:25.920 --> 0:07:28.520 Rhodo Andrew dick Meyer. The guys have been absolutely crushing 0:07:28.560 --> 0:07:31.560 it all season long. From an NFL NBA Dfest perspective, 0:07:31.560 --> 0:07:34.560 also from an NFL Dfest perspective, But right now we're 0:07:34.640 --> 0:07:37.520 in NBA season. We're prepping for Fantasy baseball as well. 0:07:38.000 --> 0:07:40.040 But these guys have done a phenomenal job. They gave 0:07:40.080 --> 0:07:42.200 out Joel Embid the other day, Greg, and he dropped 0:07:42.240 --> 0:07:46.200 a career high forty nine points tonight to Marta Rosen. 0:07:46.480 --> 0:07:49.040 With La Marcus Aldridge out, the usage rate goes up, 0:07:49.240 --> 0:07:51.320 the points per game go up for Demarta Rosen. I 0:07:51.320 --> 0:07:53.120 think it makes a ton of sense de mar de 0:07:53.240 --> 0:07:55.320 Rosian with a Lamargus Aldridge, He's gotta be a lock 0:07:55.360 --> 0:07:56.800 for your lot up. I know Drew also likes Luka 0:07:56.840 --> 0:07:59.320 doantech Here to night givebout joellan vehicle days ago, as 0:07:59.400 --> 0:08:02.160 you said, Dwelling Bead was your NBA Fantasy Player of 0:08:02.200 --> 0:08:04.920 the night. Thanks for those forty nine points. All right, 0:08:05.000 --> 0:08:07.840 let's get a new starting pitching Part du Part two, 0:08:08.000 --> 0:08:13.160 Part dose, and we begin with Claire. I have two, Frank, 0:08:13.720 --> 0:08:16.920 because we did one twenty one yesterday Claire twenty two. 0:08:17.680 --> 0:08:21.480 It's power power, let's go. There's no way that you 0:08:21.680 --> 0:08:24.520 actually want Trevor Bauer and he is a target of yours. 0:08:24.560 --> 0:08:26.760 Why not? All right, So tell me why, Greg, I'll 0:08:26.760 --> 0:08:29.360 tell you why you're wrong. The Trevor Bauer obviously two 0:08:29.400 --> 0:08:31.720 years ago. It was awesome last year he was drafted 0:08:31.840 --> 0:08:35.000 as an ace like pitcher. He's just twenty nine years old. 0:08:35.200 --> 0:08:37.480 And listen, he had to set back last year. Didn't 0:08:37.520 --> 0:08:42.600 really feel right in Cleveland. Warily work out that well. Um, 0:08:42.960 --> 0:08:46.079 but while all the numbers were much worse last year 0:08:46.080 --> 0:08:49.079 than they were the year prior, you're doing a great job, 0:08:50.360 --> 0:08:52.560 doing a great job of selling Trevor Bauer. You can 0:08:52.600 --> 0:08:56.079 bounce back. You've got nothing, dude, Why do you have 0:08:56.200 --> 0:08:59.480 Trevor Bauer? Reg Number twenty two at starting pitcher? Here's 0:08:59.840 --> 0:09:01.959 to here's what you need to know. He had one 0:09:02.120 --> 0:09:04.960 phenomenal season. Can't take anything away from him. Back at 0:09:04.960 --> 0:09:07.360 two eighteen, a two point to one e r A 0:09:07.760 --> 0:09:09.599 great If you had him that year, probably helped to 0:09:09.640 --> 0:09:11.959 win a Fantasy Baseball championship. If you own him last year, 0:09:12.080 --> 0:09:14.240 he did not help you. In fact, he hurt you. 0:09:14.360 --> 0:09:16.920 He was terrible. He had an ear a over four 0:09:17.200 --> 0:09:19.240 a four point four eight ear a like he has 0:09:19.280 --> 0:09:22.080 had for most of his career. Actually, in fact, outside 0:09:22.120 --> 0:09:24.440 of that two thousand eighteen season, Trevor Bauer has had 0:09:24.480 --> 0:09:26.400 an ear a of at least four point one nine 0:09:26.520 --> 0:09:30.320 in every single season as a starting pitcher in Major 0:09:30.400 --> 0:09:34.439 League baseball. He's not good. He's Robbie Ray. Robbie Ray 0:09:34.480 --> 0:09:39.319 and Trevor Bauer have the basically same career numbers, and 0:09:39.400 --> 0:09:41.440 I will illustrate that to you right now. Robbie Ray 0:09:42.000 --> 0:09:44.960 four eleven career e r A one three five whip 0:09:45.559 --> 0:09:49.400 career eleven case per nine. Trevor Bauer four point zero 0:09:49.480 --> 0:09:52.719 four ear a. Alright, he's point zero seven better, one 0:09:52.760 --> 0:09:57.240 point three zero whip point zero five better. There nine 0:09:57.280 --> 0:09:59.160 and a half case per nine in his career. I 0:09:59.240 --> 0:10:01.199 will give you this. Over the past three seasons, his 0:10:01.280 --> 0:10:03.640 caper nine has been up over ten. Still not as 0:10:03.640 --> 0:10:07.680 good as Robbie Ray. Why are we drafting Trevor Bower two, three, 0:10:07.880 --> 0:10:10.640 four rounds ahead of Robbie Ray. If you want someone 0:10:10.840 --> 0:10:14.600 who's gonna suck at everything except give you strikeouts, why 0:10:14.640 --> 0:10:16.800 don't you just take Robbie Ray? Greg Okay, you think 0:10:16.840 --> 0:10:18.800 that sherevor Bower can still improve, Like I feel Robbie 0:10:18.840 --> 0:10:21.760 Ray is Robbie Robbie Ray is can't you ever? I 0:10:21.800 --> 0:10:25.280 know you're gonna say, but isn't eighteen like the aberration? 0:10:25.480 --> 0:10:27.520 Isn't that just the outliers? Obviously? But I think that 0:10:28.040 --> 0:10:29.679 not these both of these guys didn't have that top 0:10:29.720 --> 0:10:34.040 prospect pedigree, And I like, I don't like Robbie Robbie right, 0:10:34.280 --> 0:10:39.599 Robbie Ray ragged. I'll tell you the time that you 0:10:39.720 --> 0:10:41.640 draft Robbie Ray, greg is you pair him with Kyle 0:10:41.720 --> 0:10:44.520 Hendricks And I don't. And I believe it was I 0:10:44.559 --> 0:10:47.480 believe it was Alex Chamberlain, who was a Baseball Writer 0:10:47.520 --> 0:10:49.400 of the Year last year, Fantasy Baseball Writer of the 0:10:49.480 --> 0:10:53.439 Year with Fan Grafs still the phenomenal job. He kind 0:10:53.440 --> 0:10:55.440 of brought about the idea of pairing together Robbie Ray 0:10:55.440 --> 0:10:57.760 and Kyle Hendricks and making one super picture because it 0:10:57.800 --> 0:10:59.959 makes a lot of sense. Hendricks is gonna give you 0:11:00.000 --> 0:11:01.800 ear a, He's gonna give you whip. I'm not gonna 0:11:01.800 --> 0:11:04.560 give you strikeouts. I'll be Ray. I'm gonna give you strikeouts, 0:11:04.640 --> 0:11:06.760 gonna give you nothing else. Maybe he'll give you wins. 0:11:06.840 --> 0:11:11.400 Because that division outside of the Dodgers is lackluster and 0:11:12.360 --> 0:11:15.319 should have good run support behind him. But outside of Batman. 0:11:15.520 --> 0:11:18.559 But I get it on Trevor Bauer, the swinging strike percentage, 0:11:18.800 --> 0:11:21.160 the strikeout ability, I understand it. But you can get 0:11:21.240 --> 0:11:23.599 strikeouts later on in the draft. We'll talk about to 0:11:23.679 --> 0:11:26.520 Nelson limit, We'll talk about Robbie Ray, Canton, Mayata. You 0:11:26.559 --> 0:11:29.240 can get strikeouts anywhere. All he's gonna do is hurt 0:11:29.240 --> 0:11:32.160 your ear and whip as well, unless he doesn't sally 0:11:32.160 --> 0:11:35.600 about Sunny Gray, his teammate the other side up. Yes, 0:11:40.640 --> 0:11:43.400 I want to be the next Daily Fantasy Millionaire.

Marijuana. We with scorn 0:12:29.440 --> 0:12:32.079 all your here on the show. Game you wanted to 0:12:32.120 --> 0:12:34.599 talk about Trevor Bauer, You got it now. All I 0:12:34.600 --> 0:12:39.880 want to do is talking right back here. B f 0:12:39.960 --> 0:12:42.920 F's Frank, I'm Greg. We we talked about Trevor Bauer 0:12:43.080 --> 0:12:46.560 and we talked about well. Frank mentioned during the break 0:12:46.600 --> 0:12:50.000 to me they maybe the pigeon coach Larry Johnson in 0:12:50.160 --> 0:12:54.640 Cincinnati the work his magic, because he's worked his magic before, 0:12:54.760 --> 0:12:58.920 specifically with his old pupil, Sonny Gray. Sunny Gray. Last 0:12:58.960 --> 0:13:00.600 year you had a really nice bow back yere from 0:13:00.640 --> 0:13:03.240 his couple of tough years in New York. Sonny Gray 0:13:03.600 --> 0:13:07.120 is my number? Where is he? My number? Twenty five 0:13:07.320 --> 0:13:09.280 pitcher off the board right? Where is he for you? 0:13:10.160 --> 0:13:14.120 Sonny Gray is my number right, So we both have 0:13:14.240 --> 0:13:16.280 He's at our top twenty five there. I know you 0:13:16.400 --> 0:13:19.719 really like Sonny Gray. This year a great bashback year. 0:13:20.120 --> 0:13:22.679 Why do you think, uh, he's twenty twenty, more like 0:13:22.720 --> 0:13:26.439 twenty nineteen. Then says seen, Well, I think that they 0:13:26.559 --> 0:13:28.760 figured some things out last year, and you mentioned that 0:13:28.920 --> 0:13:32.040 he was reunited with his former pitching coach Derek Johnson, 0:13:32.120 --> 0:13:34.560 and Derrek Johnson came over from the Brewers and obviously 0:13:34.640 --> 0:13:37.120 did a phenomenal job with players while he was with 0:13:37.240 --> 0:13:40.559 in Milwaukee, and then last year wound up helping Sonny 0:13:40.640 --> 0:13:43.240 Gray and Luis Castillo get to the next level. And 0:13:43.400 --> 0:13:45.760 he was just phenomenal last year. UH sub three e 0:13:46.000 --> 0:13:48.480 r A one oh eight whip the x fit was 0:13:48.480 --> 0:13:50.400 a little bit higher three six five. But even if 0:13:50.440 --> 0:13:52.559 he gave you, you know, a mid three's e r 0:13:52.600 --> 0:13:54.560 A this year, based on where he's going at top 0:13:54.600 --> 0:13:56.559 twenty five starting pitcher, I think that you would be 0:13:56.600 --> 0:13:59.000 all right with that the strikeouts were up. He does 0:13:59.120 --> 0:14:01.040 exactly what you want. He gets strikeouts, He gets a 0:14:01.080 --> 0:14:04.440 lot of groundballs, nearly a percent groundball rate. Still struggles 0:14:04.440 --> 0:14:07.760 a little bit too much with the walks. But last year, Greg, 0:14:07.840 --> 0:14:09.400 and we've always said this about Sonny grade is that 0:14:09.400 --> 0:14:12.000 he didn't get enough strikeouts to mitigate the walks. Last 0:14:12.080 --> 0:14:14.040 year was the year that he actually finally did that. 0:14:14.320 --> 0:14:18.840 Posted a career high eleven percent swinging strike rate pent 0:14:18.960 --> 0:14:21.040 K rate was by far the highest of his career 0:14:21.160 --> 0:14:25.000 and fourteenth highest among qualified starting pitchers last year. The 0:14:25.040 --> 0:14:27.400 biggest difference for him was that he started using his 0:14:27.480 --> 0:14:29.120 breaking pitches more, and we hear that a lot in 0:14:29.160 --> 0:14:32.280 baseball is get away from the bast the fastball, use 0:14:32.360 --> 0:14:34.800 your breaking pitches more. That's exactly what he did. Use 0:14:34.880 --> 0:14:37.520 the slider more, used the curveball more. Uh and the 0:14:37.600 --> 0:14:41.120 slider rated as a top twelve pitch according to fan 0:14:41.240 --> 0:14:44.800 Graphs pitch Values. His curveball was top five among curveballs 0:14:44.880 --> 0:14:47.680 last year as well. So there's some people that speculate 0:14:47.720 --> 0:14:49.640 that his breaking pitches won't be as good. And I 0:14:49.680 --> 0:14:51.800 believe when we had Nick Pollock on a pitcher list, 0:14:52.040 --> 0:14:55.800 that was his hesitancy when it comes to Sonny Gray. 0:14:56.120 --> 0:14:57.920 But you know, if he can come anywhere close to 0:14:58.520 --> 0:15:00.800 replicating what he did with his breaking pitches last year, Greg, 0:15:01.120 --> 0:15:02.520 I think that he can give you a you know, 0:15:02.760 --> 0:15:05.600 three five to three seven e r A with you 0:15:05.640 --> 0:15:08.840 know one one five, two to one two oh whip 0:15:09.000 --> 0:15:11.520 with you know, really good strike outs, add eighty innings. 0:15:12.040 --> 0:15:14.560 And you know, if he does that, he's likely going 0:15:14.600 --> 0:15:17.040 to be a top five, top thirty starting pitcher once again. 0:15:17.040 --> 0:15:20.400 Sony is obviously not sexy. Um, like you said, the 0:15:20.600 --> 0:15:23.440 washer down strike guys, we're up. Um. I feel like 0:15:23.520 --> 0:15:25.400 you just have fatigue on Sonny Greg, Greg, is that 0:15:25.680 --> 0:15:29.560 I do? I I think that he's a really good 0:15:29.640 --> 0:15:33.600 word for it. What do you want him as? So 0:15:33.800 --> 0:15:35.200 that's a good question, and I was going to bring 0:15:35.280 --> 0:15:36.800 this up as well. I think if you play in 0:15:36.800 --> 0:15:39.440 a fifteen team league, and that's more so for deep 0:15:39.440 --> 0:15:43.240 performance NFBC formats, I don't mind him as my SP two. 0:15:43.360 --> 0:15:45.240 I don't love it, but ideally I would want him 0:15:45.240 --> 0:15:50.160 as my SP three. And I think there's something we 0:15:50.200 --> 0:15:52.200 should break down as well, and I wanted to mention 0:15:52.280 --> 0:15:54.440 this is that we went over our top twenty one 0:15:54.520 --> 0:15:58.000 pitchers yesterday. Greg. When I'm doing my drafts, I want 0:15:58.040 --> 0:15:59.480 to come away with at least two of my top 0:15:59.560 --> 0:16:02.960 twenty one, right, and that's when that's what Garrit Cohler 0:16:03.000 --> 0:16:05.160 to Graham in the first round. If not, you know, 0:16:05.440 --> 0:16:07.720 maybe a Patrick Corbin or a Geldo in the third. 0:16:08.200 --> 0:16:10.280 But I do want to grab a Morton or a 0:16:10.400 --> 0:16:12.480 Paddock or a Synder Guard. I know you like Syndergraard 0:16:12.520 --> 0:16:14.480 a lot in that fourth round range. Give me two 0:16:14.520 --> 0:16:16.960 of my top twenty one starting pitchers, and then I 0:16:17.200 --> 0:16:19.560 also want to extend that to give me three of 0:16:19.640 --> 0:16:22.480 my top thirty Sunny Grays inside of that top thirty. 0:16:22.520 --> 0:16:24.960 So I wouldn't mind him as my SP three ideally 0:16:25.360 --> 0:16:27.920 fair enough, Sunny great for me. I haven't met twenty five. 0:16:28.000 --> 0:16:32.480 Like I said, he's an SP three here A draft 0:16:32.480 --> 0:16:37.000 Sunny Gray, you're not in. I can only see me 0:16:37.080 --> 0:16:39.960 drafting Sunny Grey Wight team with you, like I can 0:16:40.000 --> 0:16:42.960 be talkings anywhere, like, hey, this is how the team 0:16:43.040 --> 0:16:45.360 is kind of shaped. Me up. I want Sunny Gray here, 0:16:45.360 --> 0:16:48.720 but like, okay, I can see that. I don't see 0:16:48.760 --> 0:16:51.480 myself really drafting him. The thing is, the price isn't 0:16:51.520 --> 0:16:54.200 anywhere near what he did last year, because it's because 0:16:54.240 --> 0:16:55.680 it's not just me that has getting in like a 0:16:55.920 --> 0:16:58.240 you know, the six eight rounds in the seventh round. Yeah, 0:16:58.560 --> 0:17:00.840 it's not just me that has that. It's he goes. Yeah, 0:17:00.880 --> 0:17:02.280 there's a lot of people who are skeptical of what 0:17:02.360 --> 0:17:04.359 he did last year. Right, So that's why you know, 0:17:04.760 --> 0:17:06.159 if you like him, you'll get him at at a 0:17:06.160 --> 0:17:08.040 solid value. If not, I mean, just keep letting them 0:17:08.040 --> 0:17:09.760 fall down the board. So I have a tier that 0:17:09.800 --> 0:17:12.000 goes from two to twenty seven. I mention Trevor Bauer, 0:17:12.040 --> 0:17:13.680 I mentioned Sonny Grace. You only have six guys in 0:17:13.720 --> 0:17:15.280 that tire. I only have six guys in that's here 0:17:15.480 --> 0:17:18.159 because my mind is similar. I have it from thirty one. 0:17:18.800 --> 0:17:21.719 It's a little bit bigger. Okay, that's interesting. One. I'm 0:17:21.720 --> 0:17:23.080 gonna read you, my guys, and then you can get 0:17:23.080 --> 0:17:24.359 into years. You can put it, and you guys should 0:17:24.359 --> 0:17:26.160 put it up so everybody can see what we're talking about. 0:17:26.359 --> 0:17:30.119 So I got Trevor Bauer here at two, followed by 0:17:30.200 --> 0:17:34.879 Jose Burrios, Corey Kluber, Sonny Gray or Less Carrasco and 0:17:35.000 --> 0:17:37.080 Tyler Glass. Now, and that's really when my tear ends, 0:17:37.119 --> 0:17:40.000 and I have Wheeler starting my next year. What I know, 0:17:40.119 --> 0:17:41.879 you hate Bauer and that's fine. What do you think 0:17:41.880 --> 0:17:44.200 about the rest of it, Frank Corey Cluber? I I'm 0:17:44.280 --> 0:17:46.600 not in on either this year because at the point 0:17:46.640 --> 0:17:48.600 you were. We did the starting picture preview on FC 0:17:48.720 --> 0:17:52.200 earlier today. My two bus were Trevor Bauer and Corey Cluber. Okay, yeah, 0:17:52.280 --> 0:17:54.160 you're just not buying that. Clue were always a terrible 0:17:54.200 --> 0:17:56.080 apron onnoight, are you just not buying that, Corey Cluber 0:17:56.080 --> 0:17:58.720 and bounce back in anyway? I mean, I'm not ruling 0:17:58.760 --> 0:18:01.360 it out. There's definitely maybe having some a year off 0:18:01.400 --> 0:18:03.440 from that shoulder like that could be helpful. It might 0:18:03.560 --> 0:18:05.600 it might actually help him, right, and he's older now, 0:18:05.760 --> 0:18:07.720 But I think what we saw last year, we just 0:18:07.880 --> 0:18:11.760 can't completely dispute that. And I understand much last year. 0:18:11.840 --> 0:18:13.560 He normally gets off to slow starts, Greg, But I 0:18:13.600 --> 0:18:16.920 mean what he did last year was really bad. Yeah, 0:18:16.960 --> 0:18:19.200 but he meets seven starts. It's not like insignificant. That's 0:18:19.400 --> 0:18:23.160 almost a quarter of the season. Well, fine, Star Wars, 0:18:23.200 --> 0:18:25.240 but like you know, if the slow start, those seven 0:18:25.280 --> 0:18:27.400 starts at eight fil nay, it wasn't warm yet, it's 0:18:27.440 --> 0:18:31.080 cold in Cleveland. You're making the case for Clover here, Greg, 0:18:31.240 --> 0:18:33.000 And look, he he might make me look stupid here 0:18:33.040 --> 0:18:34.760 if he bounces back with Texas. He's not in the 0:18:34.920 --> 0:18:37.760 r angeen. Yeah, that's why it looks. It's hard to be. 0:18:38.760 --> 0:18:41.159 He's one year removed from a two eight nine e 0:18:41.359 --> 0:18:45.800 r A was zero point nine nine. Like he was great, 0:18:46.000 --> 0:18:48.480 there's no doubt about that. But I think late in 0:18:48.520 --> 0:18:50.359 twenty eight teen we started to see the skills a 0:18:50.440 --> 0:18:52.919 road a little bit, definitely, and then early last year, 0:18:53.000 --> 0:18:54.399 so that's all we have to go on. It's like 0:18:54.680 --> 0:18:56.800 the first month of last year and the last month 0:18:56.880 --> 0:18:59.480 or two of eighteen and those last three months have 0:18:59.640 --> 0:19:01.520 not been good and he's getting up there in age 0:19:01.560 --> 0:19:06.840 as well. Over here, here's what lander and granky. There's 0:19:06.880 --> 0:19:09.639 no signs right with Cluber. There is a bad months, 0:19:11.000 --> 0:19:14.280 three months was a bad month, five eight e r 0:19:14.359 --> 0:19:17.200 A and seven starts last year the walks three point 0:19:17.280 --> 0:19:19.439 seven nine bad. That's not something you normally see out 0:19:19.440 --> 0:19:22.359 of Klueber. His twenty two percent hey rate was his 0:19:22.400 --> 0:19:25.000 lowest and twenty thirteen in those first seven starts. And 0:19:25.200 --> 0:19:27.840 here's another thing, Greg three seventy babbitt for the record. 0:19:28.560 --> 0:19:30.840 But here's what I get to on the babbitt last 0:19:31.000 --> 0:19:33.080 over the past two seasons is hard contact rate is 0:19:33.160 --> 0:19:36.800 thirty six point seven percent. From two thousand and eleven 0:19:36.840 --> 0:19:41.200 through seventeen, his hard contact was twenty seven percent over 0:19:41.240 --> 0:19:43.720 the past two seasons now and again this is going 0:19:43.760 --> 0:19:46.120 back to eighteen where we're starting to see a trend 0:19:46.160 --> 0:19:49.120 of him giving up hard contact. The past two seasons 0:19:49.640 --> 0:19:53.200 up over thirty six percent hard contact, which is nowhere 0:19:53.400 --> 0:19:55.879 what it has been in years past. For Corey Klueber. 0:19:56.119 --> 0:19:59.480 There is a range of outcomes, um where he completely 0:19:59.520 --> 0:20:01.440 makes me look foolish and he goes back to being 0:20:01.440 --> 0:20:04.280 the Corey Cluober of old. I I recognize that, but 0:20:04.400 --> 0:20:06.480 I'm not willing to take that gamble. Give me someone 0:20:06.560 --> 0:20:09.160 like Sonny Gray, who I still think is young enough 0:20:09.320 --> 0:20:12.400 and you know, showed us what his upside was last year. 0:20:12.680 --> 0:20:14.720 Give me one of these you know hype guys starting 0:20:14.760 --> 0:20:18.399 pitchers with Mantas and Max Freed and Gallen all players 0:20:18.440 --> 0:20:21.000 who we think could take that next step. Corey Cloober 0:20:21.080 --> 0:20:24.480 Greg at age thirty four, is someone that I am 0:20:24.520 --> 0:20:26.880 worried about this season. We'll say this, Corey Clubers fastball, 0:20:27.240 --> 0:20:30.639 Uh was the slowest that has ever been ninety one 0:20:30.680 --> 0:20:32.480 point in a six miles per hour in those seven 0:20:32.520 --> 0:20:36.800 starts last year. Uh he usually around ninety three and 0:20:37.000 --> 0:20:39.399 ninety one. If he's losing juicual the fastball, that's not 0:20:39.520 --> 0:20:42.080 so good. Who do you have closing out this whole 0:20:42.160 --> 0:20:44.320 tier or is making up this whole tier for you? Yeah? 0:20:44.359 --> 0:20:46.480 So I have a twenty two through thirty one. For me, 0:20:46.600 --> 0:20:48.959 this is my tier three, and I really want one 0:20:49.040 --> 0:20:52.320 of these guys as my SP three if at all possible. 0:20:52.359 --> 0:20:55.280 I have Tyler Glass now at SP twenty two, followed 0:20:55.320 --> 0:21:02.680 by Brandon Woodruff, Jose Barrios, Sonny Gray, Carlos Carrasco Max 0:21:02.720 --> 0:21:06.800 Freed to seven, Zack Gallon at, Frankie Mantas at nine, 0:21:07.160 --> 0:21:10.200 Zach Wheeler at thirty, and Mike Saroka at thirty one. 0:21:10.240 --> 0:21:12.119 That rounds out that tier for me. And as you 0:21:12.160 --> 0:21:14.560 can see up on the screen, Uh, the start of 0:21:14.600 --> 0:21:16.399 thirty two is the beginning of the next year. So 0:21:16.600 --> 0:21:19.000 for me, you're hiring than Brandon would you have which 0:21:19.000 --> 0:21:20.840
