Greggy. 0:01:37.120 --> 0:01:40.800 Happy Tuesday to your buddy. I heard a little rumor 0:01:42.080 --> 0:01:46.880 here that we are talking baseball. What's up? Greggy had 0:01:46.920 --> 0:01:49.440 to sleep last night, so great man, really really well 0:01:49.560 --> 0:01:53.600 last night? Nightmares? Nightmares, no nightmare? To do something differently 0:01:53.680 --> 0:01:55.640 last night? Did I put an extra blanket on me? 0:01:57.160 --> 0:01:59.160 Do you get cold or something? I was just really 0:01:59.200 --> 0:02:01.080 cold last night before I went to bed. It's like, 0:02:01.360 --> 0:02:02.920 I mean, it's cold outside. I didn't want you to 0:02:03.120 --> 0:02:04.800 like steal a blanking on the freezings. I just put 0:02:04.800 --> 0:02:06.880 the extra blanket on. It's so great if you don't 0:02:07.000 --> 0:02:10.320 live in the Northeast. It's about thirty degrees outside right now, 0:02:10.360 --> 0:02:13.560 and especially at night that goes down to like below. 0:02:14.480 --> 0:02:16.919 It was cold last night. Do you normally open the 0:02:16.960 --> 0:02:22.400 window or um in this weather now? Like I open 0:02:22.520 --> 0:02:24.280 it like a millimeter just so I could get like 0:02:24.520 --> 0:02:27.079 a tiny bit of air. It's cold. We don't. I 0:02:27.120 --> 0:02:29.320 don't put the heat on because it's my room is 0:02:29.320 --> 0:02:31.959 so small, it's so hot, like open the wind that 0:02:32.040 --> 0:02:33.760 then I would open the window in that case, but 0:02:33.800 --> 0:02:36.400 I'd rather just stay cold and put the extra blanket on. 0:02:36.480 --> 0:02:38.800 That's it, all right, I know, Greggy is a big 0:02:38.840 --> 0:02:41.000 cold guy. You leave the A C running all the 0:02:41.000 --> 0:02:44.040 way until when when you normally stop using the air conditioning, 0:02:44.240 --> 0:02:46.200 like into the fall. In my my building, the air 0:02:46.280 --> 0:02:50.440 conditioning like switches over to heat, um like mid October, 0:02:50.560 --> 0:02:53.280 which always like really upsets me because like you've been 0:02:53.320 --> 0:02:56.320 global warming now like the the I mean, we still 0:02:56.360 --> 0:02:58.800 get some sixty degree days in October, remember as well, 0:02:58.800 --> 0:03:01.760 even my wedding was freezing. Well in November. He's like 0:03:01.880 --> 0:03:05.440 hot out hot, but like warm out. The biggest part 0:03:05.480 --> 0:03:08.240 of the winter is now January, February, March, rather than 0:03:08.320 --> 0:03:11.600 December January February. So right, once, I'd rather just like 0:03:11.880 --> 0:03:14.160 push the a C like in the November now instead 0:03:14.160 --> 0:03:17.320 of just cutting off October. I had a buddy, a 0:03:17.400 --> 0:03:18.960 friend that I grew up with, that he would leave 0:03:19.000 --> 0:03:21.519 his air conditioner running all year long. Love it. It 0:03:21.600 --> 0:03:23.320 never stopped, love it even in the winter. I'm like, 0:03:23.639 --> 0:03:25.640 I love it so much. I would get I would 0:03:25.760 --> 0:03:28.200 enter his house, like, what is going on here? What 0:03:28.320 --> 0:03:34.920 is the house like? Thirty degrees like cold? So there cold? Great? 0:03:35.400 --> 0:03:36.800 What do you want to talk about today? Greg? I 0:03:36.880 --> 0:03:40.040 wanted to talk You asked me this last night baseball 0:03:40.160 --> 0:03:41.840 for transparency, Like, all right, what do you want to do? 0:03:41.920 --> 0:03:44.800 I know, like he's like, Wednesday, we have a Um, 0:03:45.040 --> 0:03:47.920 I'm in a mockry. I mean this mockard industry or 0:03:48.000 --> 0:03:49.960 real draft. Yeah, it's not a real draft. We're not 0:03:50.000 --> 0:03:51.840 playing it out. It's an expert's mock draft. Right, So 0:03:51.960 --> 0:03:53.600 so friends in a mock So I want to talk 0:03:53.600 --> 0:03:55.720 about that on Wednesday and Zion's coming back? When do 0:03:55.720 --> 0:03:58.200 you not talk about it? You know what? Then we 0:03:58.200 --> 0:04:00.600 should talk baseball and like the out of gifts, the 0:04:00.680 --> 0:04:03.240 Frank cent in five minutes spans, Oh is the Denzel 0:04:03.320 --> 0:04:07.440 Washington one? For sure? It was mom man, mom man, 0:04:07.640 --> 0:04:09.280 and I want to talk baseball. And Frank knew why 0:04:09.280 --> 0:04:11.280 because I was going through my time hop and like 0:04:11.360 --> 0:04:13.480 three or four years ago, I was deeven like Tyler 0:04:13.520 --> 0:04:17.000 Chatwood splits at this time. And then when I saw that, 0:04:17.080 --> 0:04:19.000 I was like, man, I really fall like, what team 0:04:19.040 --> 0:04:22.400 was Tyler Chatwood on? I have no idea? Oh my god, 0:04:22.480 --> 0:04:25.560 what's What's I have no idea? See, this is all 0:04:25.600 --> 0:04:28.800 grown up, Greggy. Now what team is Tyler chat wasn't 0:04:28.839 --> 0:04:31.120 have time for fantasy baseball anymore, so I last remember 0:04:31.160 --> 0:04:33.960 Tyler Chatwood on the Cubs. I feel like he's not 0:04:34.080 --> 0:04:37.360 in the Cubs anymore. Is that? Is it accurate? I 0:04:37.400 --> 0:04:39.880 don't know. You tell me, I'm asking you. I'm asking you. 0:04:40.040 --> 0:04:41.279 I don't know what team he is on? What team 0:04:41.360 --> 0:04:43.640 is he on? Greg? But I said, I don't know, 0:04:43.720 --> 0:04:48.080 I'm asking you he's on the Cubs. It was a 0:04:48.160 --> 0:04:52.640 quick true question. I think, yeah, he's penciled in as 0:04:52.640 --> 0:04:55.000 their fifth starter. Right now, ty Chat was still remember 0:04:55.000 --> 0:04:56.640 the Cubs, it would be interesting to see the coast 0:04:56.720 --> 0:04:59.360 rotation now that like you don't have Joe Madden to 0:04:59.400 --> 0:05:01.440 try just like screw you up, as well as like 0:05:01.560 --> 0:05:08.720 the position you don't have Joe Madden isn't there, um, 0:05:09.120 --> 0:05:11.000 but we like I don't think that'll be as much 0:05:11.200 --> 0:05:14.280 as much as like position flexibility as we're used to seeing. 0:05:14.320 --> 0:05:17.440 Probably um for the Cubs, it would be really different 0:05:17.520 --> 0:05:20.040 not having Joe Madden there. And now Joe Madden's back 0:05:20.040 --> 0:05:22.480 of the Angels, like a lot of things will change there. 0:05:22.480 --> 0:05:25.120 I think the Cubs are gonna stink. It's must being honest, 0:05:25.800 --> 0:05:27.880 They're gonna stink. Trade Chris bro I think they're total 0:05:28.120 --> 0:05:31.400 They're total wind. They're total wind total. That's just makes sense. 0:05:31.440 --> 0:05:35.000 Their regular season win total is around eighty six and 0:05:35.000 --> 0:05:37.000 a half. Right now, I would I would be hammering 0:05:37.040 --> 0:05:40.200 the under. I don't think the Cups are gonna be good. Yeah, 0:05:41.960 --> 0:05:43.480 I haven't got through the wind totals yet. By the way, 0:05:43.480 --> 0:05:48.159 it's making wind totals. This guy dominated the NFL wind total. 0:05:48.320 --> 0:05:50.680 That's right, and yet with a team shirt for me, 0:05:50.760 --> 0:05:53.280 now ey makes a lot more money than I do, 0:05:53.480 --> 0:05:56.480 So I vote that Ey. Just that's that's up to 0:05:56.520 --> 0:05:58.680 you guys, not me. I I just want to see 0:05:58.720 --> 0:05:59.960 if I could talk him into All I did was 0:06:00.040 --> 0:06:02.680 win graduations. Greg, thank you. I won the baseball win totals. 0:06:02.720 --> 0:06:04.720 You won the football win totals very much. Have it 0:06:04.800 --> 0:06:08.160 no other way? Would you not have it any other way? Well? 0:06:08.720 --> 0:06:10.360 What are the experts? Right? So as long as e 0:06:10.520 --> 0:06:13.960 Y doesn't win like he did advantage football three times 0:06:13.960 --> 0:06:18.880 against us, Come on, man, you're supposed to build up 0:06:18.920 --> 0:06:20.720 your your strange. I don't do that and put down 0:06:20.760 --> 0:06:22.400 your weakness. I don't do that. That's not how we 0:06:22.480 --> 0:06:25.440 operate on this program. So anyway, going back, so when 0:06:25.680 --> 0:06:27.680 any when Frank send me that text, I was like, 0:06:27.800 --> 0:06:30.280 I want to talk baseball, and I really thought about 0:06:30.320 --> 0:06:32.159 what made sense to talk about. And yes we can 0:06:32.200 --> 0:06:35.360 going through leaderboards and I'm not there yet where I 0:06:35.440 --> 0:06:38.279 can kind of just dive into some of these hard 0:06:38.320 --> 0:06:41.360 to like hard head percentage last year or full transparency. 0:06:41.400 --> 0:06:44.120 I'm not there yet either, Greg, Like I'm really diving 0:06:44.160 --> 0:06:47.160 into pitching. I'm about thirty pictures in right now. I'm 0:06:47.200 --> 0:06:49.760 deep diving every starting picture. So by this haven't even 0:06:49.760 --> 0:06:52.320 got to other positions yet. So by this time three 0:06:52.400 --> 0:06:53.800 years ago, like I was kind of looking at some 0:06:53.960 --> 0:06:57.720 of these advanced statistics alive with the quodations because it 0:06:57.800 --> 0:06:59.600 was just advance statistics. But like I was looking at 0:06:59.600 --> 0:07:02.680 advance stistics and trying to see, like, oh, this guy 0:07:02.760 --> 0:07:06.240 should either bounce back or over before we're underperformed what 0:07:06.279 --> 0:07:08.360 he did in the year before. They're not there yet, 0:07:08.520 --> 0:07:10.480 so I'm more in the mainstream, like I think a 0:07:10.520 --> 0:07:13.160 lot of fantasy players are at the moment. And the 0:07:13.200 --> 0:07:16.120 biggest story, of course in baseball is today with the 0:07:16.200 --> 0:07:19.559 Hall of Fame class being announced. There's there's a pretty 0:07:19.600 --> 0:07:22.160 good chances Derek Jeter is the only player announced as 0:07:22.200 --> 0:07:27.320 a Hall of Famer today, two packed shore where picture, Um, 0:07:28.440 --> 0:07:30.200 there's a really good chances Derek is the only Hall 0:07:30.200 --> 0:07:33.320 of Famer announced today. The other top contenders, if you will, 0:07:33.520 --> 0:07:35.720 are Kurt Schillen, Who's Kurt Schilling, Who's an a hole, 0:07:35.720 --> 0:07:37.560 So I don't want to talk about him, and but 0:07:37.640 --> 0:07:39.440 that shouldn't affect whether or not he gets into the Hall. 0:07:40.360 --> 0:07:44.000 Actually is that because there is a aren't you put 0:07:44.080 --> 0:07:45.960 in the Hall of Fame based on your play on 0:07:46.000 --> 0:07:51.080 the field performance mostly yes, but there's also the the 0:07:51.120 --> 0:07:53.200 word is but the reason that, like I guess, you 0:07:53.240 --> 0:07:56.040 have to be able to represent these Hall of Fame 0:07:56.160 --> 0:07:59.360 community Sherman Sweet, I'll find it during the break. No, 0:07:59.480 --> 0:08:01.760 I get what you're saying. Obviously, like Kurt Schilling has 0:08:01.800 --> 0:08:07.040 been like in some weird speculative stuff, but what he 0:08:07.120 --> 0:08:09.880 did on the field, there's no doubt it's good enough. 0:08:09.920 --> 0:08:12.760 The same thing of this steroid guys, and I believe 0:08:12.800 --> 0:08:15.080 the stericus should be in so I should Larry Walker. 0:08:15.320 --> 0:08:19.280 All Right, we're back raft.

The stadium was built by Route Oh. 0:08:53.200 --> 0:08:57.880 This is why I don't want to talk about baseball nonsense, 0:08:59.400 --> 0:09:07.360 special slowing up for something you have the I'm talking 0:09:07.480 --> 0:09:15.000 bass and Mazzari Yankee bass. We're going to talk about 0:09:17.960 --> 0:09:20.400 deter Reto Peck. Yeah, so Gen's gonna get in today. 0:09:20.920 --> 0:09:22.599 A shilling doesn't. And it was a character clause that 0:09:22.640 --> 0:09:24.920 I was referring to keep him out and fine. The 0:09:25.000 --> 0:09:27.400 steroid guys, Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens, they always holler 0:09:27.440 --> 0:09:29.840 around six pc. I don't think they go. I think 0:09:29.880 --> 0:09:31.440 people that kind of made their minds and the year 0:09:31.480 --> 0:09:33.439 four the more year against them. That doesn't really change 0:09:33.520 --> 0:09:38.679 year after year, unfortunately, which is I think ridiculous. I 0:09:38.760 --> 0:09:41.120 don't know. I've definitely shared this before, but I'll just 0:09:41.240 --> 0:09:43.800 for mind people who might be uh might have just 0:09:43.960 --> 0:09:47.120 joined us recently watching the Fantasy bfs UM. There were 0:09:47.200 --> 0:09:52.079 players basically before the steroid era, from the I don't know, 0:09:52.160 --> 0:09:56.480 let's say seventies to eighties, seventies through nineties and all 0:09:56.559 --> 0:10:01.720 too greenies. They all took uppers. It was yeah, there 0:10:01.800 --> 0:10:04.320 was coke, there was you know, there was amphetamines. It's 0:10:04.840 --> 0:10:09.920 it's speed, it's a performance enhancing drug. It doesn't do 0:10:10.080 --> 0:10:12.400 what steroids do. I mean they help you in different ways. 0:10:12.960 --> 0:10:16.360 But those things were very popular in the era, just 0:10:16.440 --> 0:10:18.800 before the steroid era. So why are those players in 0:10:18.800 --> 0:10:21.079 the Hall of Fame. I don't know. I mean, you 0:10:21.160 --> 0:10:23.319 can't turn your eye to one thing and you know, 0:10:23.920 --> 0:10:27.439 strike down down on another. So it's ridiculous to me. 0:10:27.480 --> 0:10:29.079 The steroid guy should all be in the Hall of Fame. 0:10:29.160 --> 0:10:31.719 I agree. I'm completely with you in that, completely with you. 0:10:32.640 --> 0:10:36.760 So the other guy who has not been um I 0:10:36.840 --> 0:10:40.760 thought of using steroids, but outside of the steroid of 0:10:40.800 --> 0:10:44.160 where he played his home baseball games, and that's Larry Walker. 0:10:44.440 --> 0:10:47.160 This is Larry Walker's tenth and final season on the ballot, 0:10:47.400 --> 0:10:49.079 and last year, Frank how what is the percentage of 0:10:49.120 --> 0:10:54.559 votes that got he was right around sixty of the vote? Yea, 0:10:54.559 --> 0:10:57.640 I think he's like if I remember correct six A right, 0:10:57.760 --> 0:11:01.160 it's fifty. It was fifty of the vote later in 0:11:01.200 --> 0:11:04.640 his final years. A lot, it's a lot. He's Larry Walker. 0:11:04.679 --> 0:11:08.760 Hall of favor to you, I think that Larry Walker 0:11:08.840 --> 0:11:10.280 is a whole famous I agree with you, Yes, I 0:11:10.360 --> 0:11:12.040 agree with you. A lot of peoples all he's very good. 0:11:13.080 --> 0:11:15.400 I don't think it's fair to say, but they've let 0:11:15.440 --> 0:11:17.719 so many other players that have kind of fit that 0:11:17.840 --> 0:11:20.760 mold beforehand into the Hall of Fame that if it's 0:11:20.880 --> 0:11:24.320 the very best, then that's how that's what people should 0:11:24.320 --> 0:11:26.200 have been judged by. All along, there are a bunch 0:11:26.200 --> 0:11:27.960 of players in there who were not the very best 0:11:28.520 --> 0:11:32.880 in the sport in the face, Yes, Larry Walker should 0:11:32.880 --> 0:11:34.880 not be punished because he played in Colorado. But that's 0:11:34.960 --> 0:11:38.160 the thing. It's not fair, like, oh, he took advantage 0:11:38.160 --> 0:11:41.679 of where he played, all right, plenty of players have 0:11:41.760 --> 0:11:43.760 played the confines of Wrigley Field when it was even 0:11:43.840 --> 0:11:47.000 smaller than it is, right, Like, it's crazy that this 0:11:47.080 --> 0:11:48.960 guy gets, in my opinion, that he gets penal lives 0:11:48.960 --> 0:11:52.040 because he plays in Colorado. That's ridiculous to me. And 0:11:52.080 --> 0:11:55.160 I understand the home and rose splits are egregious, that 0:11:55.320 --> 0:11:58.320 that's fine, but it's not. That's not a fine case. 0:11:58.480 --> 0:12:01.360 Which leads me to another player who, as you're going 0:12:01.400 --> 0:12:03.240 to point out in a few moments, Frank, whose home 0:12:03.320 --> 0:12:06.599 and road splits are a drastic and that's Nolan Aaronado. 0:12:06.920 --> 0:12:09.040 The other big story in baseball, outside of the Hall 0:12:09.080 --> 0:12:12.400 of Fame and outside of every cheater in Houston, is 0:12:12.520 --> 0:12:16.319 no one Arnado and will he or will he not 0:12:16.480 --> 0:12:18.600 be traded? You asked me a few weeks back, Frankie, 0:12:18.720 --> 0:12:21.319 isn't a foregone conclusion that no One Arnado will not 0:12:21.400 --> 0:12:23.280 be a member of the Colorado Rockies next year? And 0:12:23.320 --> 0:12:25.240 I said absolutely not, like I think he will play 0:12:25.320 --> 0:12:27.760 for the Rockies. Last night, their general manager came out 0:12:27.800 --> 0:12:30.400 and said, yeah, we don't want the trade talks. No 0:12:30.480 --> 0:12:34.880 one will be here in spring an Aeronado and Aaronado's 0:12:34.920 --> 0:12:38.559 manuri silent up until now until he says, quote, I 0:12:38.640 --> 0:12:42.320 feel disrespected, And then everyone was like, oh, those disrespected. 0:12:42.360 --> 0:12:44.080 He was being shot in the trade. He then calls 0:12:44.080 --> 0:12:46.640 a reporter back, no, no, no, no, I don't feel 0:12:46.640 --> 0:12:50.079 disrespected about being trade rumors. It's fine, it's part of 0:12:50.120 --> 0:12:53.280 the business. I feel disrespected for things I don't want 0:12:53.280 --> 0:12:56.760 to talk about, and I feel disrespected over how our 0:12:56.800 --> 0:12:59.440 offseason has gone. And if you read this, tea leaves 0:12:59.480 --> 0:13:02.160 there it's very obvious when he's talking about when he 0:13:02.240 --> 0:13:04.680 signed this monstrous extension last year, he went to the owner, 0:13:04.760 --> 0:13:06.959 Dick Mont for it, and he went to um, the 0:13:07.040 --> 0:13:09.920 general manager, and he said, listen, if I'm signing here, 0:13:10.240 --> 0:13:13.760 I expect to be competitive every single year. I want 0:13:13.800 --> 0:13:17.120 to compete every single year. Two years ago, they spent 0:13:17.160 --> 0:13:19.400 all these money on terrible players like Wade Davis and 0:13:19.520 --> 0:13:27.199 Brian Shaw and Umm and Ian Desmond, none of whom 0:13:27.280 --> 0:13:31.400 worked out. But they tried last year with a couple 0:13:31.440 --> 0:13:35.240 of editions like Daniel Murphy. He thought, Okay, maybe they'll 0:13:35.240 --> 0:13:36.720 be all right this year. I like them. Last year, 0:13:36.760 --> 0:13:38.920 I'm sure I took the over because I'm a Moroakis fan, 0:13:40.360 --> 0:13:44.480 and they were awful. They were awful, So this year, 0:13:44.559 --> 0:13:47.520 no one hour Nado expected them to improve, to do something. 0:13:48.760 --> 0:13:51.080 But the Rockies have not signed a single major league 0:13:51.160 --> 0:13:54.760 free agent and it's currently January twenty one, not one 0:13:55.280 --> 0:13:58.199 this offseason for a team that finished with one of 0:13:58.240 --> 0:14:00.839 the worst records in the National League seventy one and 0:14:01.000 --> 0:14:05.400 nine one awful. Now, in fair NDErs to them, they 0:14:05.440 --> 0:14:08.120 do have the second highest payroll in the NL West 0:14:08.200 --> 0:14:10.040 going into this season, behind the Dodgers. I believe the 0:14:10.080 --> 0:14:14.080 payroll hundred and seventy million dollars. There's not nothing many means, 0:14:15.280 --> 0:14:18.040 but Arronado doesn't feel like the team is keeping their 0:14:18.080 --> 0:14:22.440 word and trying to compete. Do you believe that the 0:14:22.560 --> 0:14:24.360 Rockies are trying to compete. What do you believe that 0:14:24.440 --> 0:14:27.520 Nolan Arnado that they essentially lied to him and thus 0:14:27.520 --> 0:14:32.520 they're being disrespectful. I do think that they lied to him. 0:14:32.720 --> 0:14:35.440 I mean based on the off season that they've had 0:14:35.520 --> 0:14:37.720 thus far, obviously coming off the season where they won 0:14:37.800 --> 0:14:40.200 seventy one games. I mean, mind you, he's been up 0:14:40.240 --> 0:14:43.400 with the team since They've only been over five hundred 0:14:43.520 --> 0:14:46.880 twice during that span where you know, they lost in 0:14:46.960 --> 0:14:49.600 the wild Card game in seventeen to the Diamondbacks. They 0:14:49.640 --> 0:14:52.560 won the wild card game against the Cubs in eighteen, 0:14:52.560 --> 0:14:54.920 and they lost in the NLDS they got swept by 0:14:55.000 --> 0:14:59.840 the Milwaukee Brewers. Ineen, So he's tasted postseason of the 0:15:00.120 --> 0:15:03.280 season just twice in seven seasons with the team, and 0:15:03.360 --> 0:15:06.080 I understand, Look, this happens in all sports. It's happening 0:15:06.120 --> 0:15:08.160 with Bradley Beale right now with the Washington Wizards. And 0:15:08.840 --> 0:15:10.880 guys don't want to play for losing teams. And yes, 0:15:10.920 --> 0:15:14.560 they signed these huge contract extensions and they're looking out 0:15:14.640 --> 0:15:16.920 for themselves and their family. And look, I'm never gonna 0:15:16.920 --> 0:15:18.960 blame a player for wanting to get their money. There's 0:15:19.680 --> 0:15:23.400 I will never blame a player for that whatsoever. So 0:15:23.760 --> 0:15:27.640 it's it's a little bit of both here, right, because 0:15:27.880 --> 0:15:32.040 you signed the extension, right, you're supposed to honor that contract. Yes, 0:15:32.080 --> 0:15:34.080 you want to be competitive, but you signed an extension 0:15:34.120 --> 0:15:36.720 with the Colorado Rocky. If you wanted to be with 0:15:36.800 --> 0:15:38.600 a more competitive team, why didn't you just go to 0:15:38.720 --> 0:15:42.120 free agency where you still would have got paid the 0:15:42.120 --> 0:15:44.960 same amount people were gonna pay nol Arroado no matter what. Obviously, 0:15:45.240 --> 0:15:47.520 not just the colorad the Rockies. There there are plenty 0:15:47.560 --> 0:15:50.040 of suitors out there as we see now amidst trade 0:15:50.120 --> 0:15:53.440 rumors that want noln Aranado on the team. He chose 0:15:53.520 --> 0:15:56.960 to sign with the Rockies, so it's yes, the Rockies 0:15:57.040 --> 0:15:59.040 lied to him. They are not competitive, right, and I 0:15:59.080 --> 0:16:00.800 don't see them being comp at it any time soon. 0:16:01.200 --> 0:16:04.720 They're pitching is terrible and it has been basically as 0:16:04.760 --> 0:16:07.640 long as they've been a franchise. They cannot get good 0:16:07.640 --> 0:16:09.240 pitching in corps Field. They had that half a year 0:16:09.240 --> 0:16:13.240 of you Balda, Yes, you baldome Is that was fun, 0:16:14.440 --> 0:16:16.440 but outside of that, they can't find any pitching. And 0:16:16.520 --> 0:16:18.600 no matter how great your offense is, if you're a 0:16:18.680 --> 0:16:20.880 one sided team, and again, it doesn't matter what support 0:16:20.880 --> 0:16:22.680 you are, You're really not going to be competitive. So 0:16:23.840 --> 0:16:25.840 it was wrong by the Rockies if they told him 0:16:25.840 --> 0:16:27.360 that they were going to be competitive in order to 0:16:27.440 --> 0:16:30.520 get him to sign that contract. But at the same time, 0:16:31.800 --> 0:16:34.920 going Ronado should have realized the Rockies are probably not 0:16:35.000 --> 0:16:36.960 going to be good, so he could have signed that 0:16:37.040 --> 0:16:38.680 contract somewhere else. It's a little bit of both, but 0:16:38.960 --> 0:16:41.480 I see why he would be angry with the organization. Ultimately, 0:16:41.880 --> 0:16:43.840 I think he gets traded before the season starts. Great 0:16:44.200 --> 0:16:47.160 two so I really didn't think so before yesterday, I 0:16:47.240 --> 0:16:49.320 really didn't think he's killing their leverage too. With all this, 0:16:49.560 --> 0:16:53.000 clearly he got his mouth shut. You know, I guess 0:16:53.040 --> 0:16:55.160 he's getting traded, really and you want to say the 0:16:55.200 --> 0:16:57.280 wrong thing. He didn't want to be disrespectful in anyway, 0:16:58.400 --> 0:17:02.880 but you know, in this negotiation, I'm sure listen, we 0:17:02.960 --> 0:17:06.360 think about the personal side. Where you live in Colorado, 0:17:06.760 --> 0:17:09.600 you like playing in Colorado, your family obviously lives in Colorado, 0:17:10.240 --> 0:17:12.120 you don't want to move. And if they're gonna offer 0:17:12.160 --> 0:17:14.320 you close to close to the amount of money that 0:17:14.440 --> 0:17:16.960 you expect to make on the open market, you stay. 0:17:17.760 --> 0:17:19.760 But he wanted the best of both worlds. He wants 0:17:19.760 --> 0:17:21.560 to get paid and he wanted to be competitive, so 0:17:21.680 --> 0:17:23.360 he went to the owner of the GM and listen, 0:17:23.440 --> 0:17:25.920 I will sign with you, but you need to be 0:17:26.040 --> 0:17:28.320 competitive and you need to lay out the money. You 0:17:28.440 --> 0:17:29.960 have to do it. And there's probably a level of 0:17:30.000 --> 0:17:32.760 loyalty there too, right, Sure, the team to drafts him. 0:17:32.800 --> 0:17:34.760 He wants to win with that team when he wants 0:17:34.800 --> 0:17:37.040 the loyalty on both sides, right, Like, you're and that's fair. 0:17:37.280 --> 0:17:38.959 I agree that that's what they told him. I mean, 0:17:39.000 --> 0:17:41.440 we don't know what happened to My reports are that 0:17:41.480 --> 0:17:44.600 they told him that, And why wouldn't they if you 0:17:44.600 --> 0:17:47.080 want to keep going Alorado? Of course, yeah, we're gonna 0:17:47.119 --> 0:17:49.000 bring it a bunch of guys and I'm sure they're 0:17:49.240 --> 0:17:51.359 not excuse, but in their minds, I'd be like, listen, 0:17:51.920 --> 0:17:54.320 we aren't trying to be competitive. We put a hundred 0:17:54.359 --> 0:17:57.000 seventy billion dollars into this team. I mean, not my 0:17:57.119 --> 0:17:59.840 fault that Ian Desmond and Daniel Murphy. So they need 0:17:59.840 --> 0:18:04.119 a manager short general manager. Yes, yes, yeah they were. 0:18:04.160 --> 0:18:07.080 They placed their manager recently in Bud Black, bringing Bud 0:18:07.080 --> 0:18:10.880 Black and replacing Walt White. But yeah, sure, Bud Black 0:18:10.920 --> 0:18:12.320 isn't the answer either he's been there for what to 0:18:12.440 --> 0:18:15.000 or three years? Now, let me the playoffs before that? True? 0:18:15.560 --> 0:18:17.199 The first year he hasnt made the playoffs, I think right, 0:18:17.440 --> 0:18:19.520 that is correct, So I mean hen't placed him after that? 0:18:19.560 --> 0:18:24.400 That's not fair. So question now becomes will know Narro 0:18:24.480 --> 0:18:26.040 not to get traded. It's funny because last week we 0:18:26.119 --> 0:18:28.440 were talking about doing a little of Milan art out 0:18:28.440 --> 0:18:31.439 of players profile a bit. So let's dive into one hour. 0:18:31.560 --> 0:18:33.800 Notcause we know what he's in Colorado. He's the first 0:18:33.880 --> 0:18:36.800 round pick. He gets traded, is he still the first 0:18:36.880 --> 0:18:38.560 round pick? How does his career compared to some of 0:18:38.600 --> 0:18:40.480 the other players that have gone out of Colorado in 0:18:40.480 --> 0:18:42.359 the prior of their careers.

In fact, no, 0:20:05.520 --> 0:20:10.000 no Arnado may be traded, may not be, but right 0:20:10.040 --> 0:20:14.000 now you have this mock draft tomorrow, and people have 0:20:14.119 --> 0:20:18.600 seemingly fallen off the Nolan Arnado bandwagon for bold reasons. 0:20:18.720 --> 0:20:23.840 One those drastic home road splits. Number two, in fact, 0:20:23.920 --> 0:20:25.600 he may get traded so he won't be playing in 0:20:25.680 --> 0:20:29.800 Colorado for eighty one games anymore. Number Three, here's a 0:20:29.880 --> 0:20:32.440 run at all. And when you have all these guys 0:20:32.480 --> 0:20:34.080 that hit all these home runs in the juice ball era, 0:20:34.560 --> 0:20:36.760 all these RBIs and the juice ball era, and he hit, 0:20:36.840 --> 0:20:38.920 you know, close enough to three hundred juice bal era, 0:20:39.320 --> 0:20:41.520 you want guys that score runs, and you want guys 0:20:41.560 --> 0:20:45.600 that have a speed. Nolan Arnado neither really his strongest seed. 0:20:45.840 --> 0:20:49.560 I would say so, Frank, you've done some research here. 0:20:49.640 --> 0:20:52.520 What say you about non Arnado. I think we're knowing 0:20:52.680 --> 0:20:55.520 Ronado is going right now. According to the NFBC in 0:20:55.560 --> 0:20:59.159 the month of January, at pick thirteen point two, the 0:20:59.240 --> 0:21:02.119 fourteenth play are off the board. I think makes that 0:21:02.200 --> 0:21:04.920 makes sense as the back end of the first round player, 0:21:04.960 --> 0:21:07.480
