Speaker 1: God Frob Say, Francis Franca stand ball ladies and job
Speaker 1: in your BF. With that, we welcome you inside of
Speaker 1: Studio thirty four. This is the BFFs. He is Frank Stample.
Speaker 1: I am Greg, so Frank was having him on. Greggy.
Speaker 1: Happy Tuesday to your buddy. I heard a little rumor
Speaker 1: here that we are talking baseball. What's up? Greggy had
Speaker 1: to sleep last night, so great man, really really well
Speaker 1: last night? Nightmares? Nightmares, no nightmare? To do something differently
Speaker 1: last night? Did I put an extra blanket on me?
Speaker 1: Do you get cold or something? I was just really
Speaker 1: cold last night before I went to bed. It's like,
Speaker 1: I mean, it's cold outside. I didn't want you to
Speaker 1: like steal a blanking on the freezings. I just put
Speaker 1: the extra blanket on. It's so great if you don't
Speaker 1: live in the Northeast. It's about thirty degrees outside right now,
Speaker 1: and especially at night that goes down to like below.
Speaker 1: It was cold last night. Do you normally open the
Speaker 1: window or um in this weather now? Like I open
Speaker 1: it like a millimeter just so I could get like
Speaker 1: a tiny bit of air. It's cold. We don't. I
Speaker 1: don't put the heat on because it's my room is
Speaker 1: so small, it's so hot, like open the wind that
Speaker 1: then I would open the window in that case, but
Speaker 1: I'd rather just stay cold and put the extra blanket on.
Speaker 1: That's it, all right, I know, Greggy is a big
Speaker 1: cold guy. You leave the A C running all the
Speaker 1: way until when when you normally stop using the air conditioning,
Speaker 1: like into the fall. In my my building, the air
Speaker 1: conditioning like switches over to heat, um like mid October,
Speaker 1: which always like really upsets me because like you've been
Speaker 1: global warming now like the the I mean, we still
Speaker 1: get some sixty degree days in October, remember as well,
Speaker 1: even my wedding was freezing. Well in November. He's like
Speaker 1: hot out hot, but like warm out. The biggest part
Speaker 1: of the winter is now January, February, March, rather than
Speaker 1: December January February. So right, once, I'd rather just like
Speaker 1: push the a C like in the November now instead
Speaker 1: of just cutting off October. I had a buddy, a
Speaker 1: friend that I grew up with, that he would leave
Speaker 1: his air conditioner running all year long. Love it. It
Speaker 1: never stopped, love it even in the winter. I'm like,
Speaker 1: I love it so much. I would get I would
Speaker 1: enter his house, like, what is going on here? What
Speaker 1: is the house like? Thirty degrees like cold? So there cold? Great?
Speaker 1: What do you want to talk about today? Greg? I
Speaker 1: wanted to talk You asked me this last night baseball
Speaker 1: for transparency, Like, all right, what do you want to do?
Speaker 1: I know, like he's like, Wednesday, we have a Um,
Speaker 1: I'm in a mockry. I mean this mockard industry or
Speaker 1: real draft. Yeah, it's not a real draft. We're not
Speaker 1: playing it out. It's an expert's mock draft. Right, So
Speaker 1: so friends in a mock So I want to talk
Speaker 1: about that on Wednesday and Zion's coming back? When do
Speaker 1: you not talk about it? You know what? Then we
Speaker 1: should talk baseball and like the out of gifts, the
Speaker 1: Frank cent in five minutes spans, Oh is the Denzel
Speaker 1: Washington one? For sure? It was mom man, mom man,
Speaker 1: and I want to talk baseball. And Frank knew why
Speaker 1: because I was going through my time hop and like
Speaker 1: three or four years ago, I was deeven like Tyler
Speaker 1: Chatwood splits at this time. And then when I saw that,
Speaker 1: I was like, man, I really fall like, what team
Speaker 1: was Tyler Chatwood on? I have no idea? Oh my god,
Speaker 1: what's What's I have no idea? See, this is all
Speaker 1: grown up, Greggy. Now what team is Tyler chat wasn't
Speaker 1: have time for fantasy baseball anymore, so I last remember
Speaker 1: Tyler Chatwood on the Cubs. I feel like he's not
Speaker 1: in the Cubs anymore. Is that? Is it accurate? I
Speaker 1: don't know. You tell me, I'm asking you. I'm asking you.
Speaker 1: I don't know what team he is on? What team
Speaker 1: is he on? Greg? But I said, I don't know,
Speaker 1: I'm asking you he's on the Cubs. It was a
Speaker 1: quick true question. I think, yeah, he's penciled in as
Speaker 1: their fifth starter. Right now, ty Chat was still remember
Speaker 1: the Cubs, it would be interesting to see the coast
Speaker 1: rotation now that like you don't have Joe Madden to
Speaker 1: try just like screw you up, as well as like
Speaker 1: the position you don't have Joe Madden isn't there, um,
Speaker 1: but we like I don't think that'll be as much
Speaker 1: as much as like position flexibility as we're used to seeing.
Speaker 1: Probably um for the Cubs, it would be really different
Speaker 1: not having Joe Madden there. And now Joe Madden's back
Speaker 1: of the Angels, like a lot of things will change there.
Speaker 1: I think the Cubs are gonna stink. It's must being honest,
Speaker 1: They're gonna stink. Trade Chris bro I think they're total
Speaker 1: They're total wind. They're total wind total. That's just makes sense.
Speaker 1: Their regular season win total is around eighty six and
Speaker 1: a half. Right now, I would I would be hammering
Speaker 1: the under. I don't think the Cups are gonna be good. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I haven't got through the wind totals yet. By the way,
Speaker 1: it's making wind totals. This guy dominated the NFL wind total.
Speaker 1: That's right, and yet with a team shirt for me,
Speaker 1: now ey makes a lot more money than I do,
Speaker 1: So I vote that Ey. Just that's that's up to
Speaker 1: you guys, not me. I I just want to see
Speaker 1: if I could talk him into All I did was
Speaker 1: win graduations. Greg, thank you. I won the baseball win totals.
Speaker 1: You won the football win totals very much. Have it
Speaker 1: no other way? Would you not have it any other way? Well?
Speaker 1: What are the experts? Right? So as long as e
Speaker 1: Y doesn't win like he did advantage football three times
Speaker 1: against us, Come on, man, you're supposed to build up
Speaker 1: your your strange. I don't do that and put down
Speaker 1: your weakness. I don't do that. That's not how we
Speaker 1: operate on this program. So anyway, going back, so when
Speaker 1: any when Frank send me that text, I was like,
Speaker 1: I want to talk baseball, and I really thought about
Speaker 1: what made sense to talk about. And yes we can
Speaker 1: going through leaderboards and I'm not there yet where I
Speaker 1: can kind of just dive into some of these hard
Speaker 1: to like hard head percentage last year or full transparency.
Speaker 1: I'm not there yet either, Greg, Like I'm really diving
Speaker 1: into pitching. I'm about thirty pictures in right now. I'm
Speaker 1: deep diving every starting picture. So by this haven't even
Speaker 1: got to other positions yet. So by this time three
Speaker 1: years ago, like I was kind of looking at some
Speaker 1: of these advanced statistics alive with the quodations because it
Speaker 1: was just advance statistics. But like I was looking at
Speaker 1: advance stistics and trying to see, like, oh, this guy
Speaker 1: should either bounce back or over before we're underperformed what
Speaker 1: he did in the year before. They're not there yet,
Speaker 1: so I'm more in the mainstream, like I think a
Speaker 1: lot of fantasy players are at the moment. And the
Speaker 1: biggest story, of course in baseball is today with the
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame class being announced. There's there's a pretty
Speaker 1: good chances Derek Jeter is the only player announced as
Speaker 1: a Hall of Famer today, two packed shore where picture, Um,
Speaker 1: there's a really good chances Derek is the only Hall
Speaker 1: of Famer announced today. The other top contenders, if you will,
Speaker 1: are Kurt Schillen, Who's Kurt Schilling, Who's an a hole,
Speaker 1: So I don't want to talk about him, and but
Speaker 1: that shouldn't affect whether or not he gets into the Hall.
Speaker 1: Actually is that because there is a aren't you put
Speaker 1: in the Hall of Fame based on your play on
Speaker 1: the field performance mostly yes, but there's also the the
Speaker 1: word is but the reason that, like I guess, you
Speaker 1: have to be able to represent these Hall of Fame
Speaker 1: community Sherman Sweet, I'll find it during the break. No,
Speaker 1: I get what you're saying. Obviously, like Kurt Schilling has
Speaker 1: been like in some weird speculative stuff, but what he
Speaker 1: did on the field, there's no doubt it's good enough.
Speaker 1: The same thing of this steroid guys, and I believe
Speaker 1: the stericus should be in so I should Larry Walker.
Speaker 1: All Right, we're back raft. This NFL season is now
Speaker 1: upon us, so you can be going the eighth person
Speaker 1: away in one million dollars in a Fandel Draft Kings tournament.
Speaker 1: My settinger lineups using the Daily Order dot Com DFS
Speaker 1: lot of optimizer. If you're playing Kailey Fantasy Sports and
Speaker 1: not using Daily Order dot Com, you're doing it wrong.
Speaker 1: Sign up now for the NFL Access with a faster optimizer,
Speaker 1: smarter DFS projections, and better results into promo code action
Speaker 1: for its ten percent discount. Is that's promo code action
Speaker 1: for its ten percent discount. Daily Order dot Com where
Speaker 1: millionaires are made. The stadium was built by Route Oh.
Speaker 1: This is why I don't want to talk about baseball nonsense,
Speaker 1: special slowing up for something you have the I'm talking
Speaker 1: bass and Mazzari Yankee bass. We're going to talk about
Speaker 1: deter Reto Peck. Yeah, so Gen's gonna get in today.
Speaker 1: A shilling doesn't. And it was a character clause that
Speaker 1: I was referring to keep him out and fine. The
Speaker 1: steroid guys, Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens, they always holler
Speaker 1: around six pc. I don't think they go. I think
Speaker 1: people that kind of made their minds and the year
Speaker 1: four the more year against them. That doesn't really change
Speaker 1: year after year, unfortunately, which is I think ridiculous. I
Speaker 1: don't know. I've definitely shared this before, but I'll just
Speaker 1: for mind people who might be uh might have just
Speaker 1: joined us recently watching the Fantasy bfs UM. There were
Speaker 1: players basically before the steroid era, from the I don't know,
Speaker 1: let's say seventies to eighties, seventies through nineties and all
Speaker 1: too greenies. They all took uppers. It was yeah, there
Speaker 1: was coke, there was you know, there was amphetamines. It's
Speaker 1: it's speed, it's a performance enhancing drug. It doesn't do
Speaker 1: what steroids do. I mean they help you in different ways.
Speaker 1: But those things were very popular in the era, just
Speaker 1: before the steroid era. So why are those players in
Speaker 1: the Hall of Fame. I don't know. I mean, you
Speaker 1: can't turn your eye to one thing and you know,
Speaker 1: strike down down on another. So it's ridiculous to me.
Speaker 1: The steroid guy should all be in the Hall of Fame.
Speaker 1: I agree. I'm completely with you in that, completely with you.
Speaker 1: So the other guy who has not been um I
Speaker 1: thought of using steroids, but outside of the steroid of
Speaker 1: where he played his home baseball games, and that's Larry Walker.
Speaker 1: This is Larry Walker's tenth and final season on the ballot,
Speaker 1: and last year, Frank how what is the percentage of
Speaker 1: votes that got he was right around sixty of the vote? Yea,
Speaker 1: I think he's like if I remember correct six A right,
Speaker 1: it's fifty. It was fifty of the vote later in
Speaker 1: his final years. A lot, it's a lot. He's Larry Walker.
Speaker 1: Hall of favor to you, I think that Larry Walker
Speaker 1: is a whole famous I agree with you, Yes, I
Speaker 1: agree with you. A lot of peoples all he's very good.
Speaker 1: I don't think it's fair to say, but they've let
Speaker 1: so many other players that have kind of fit that
Speaker 1: mold beforehand into the Hall of Fame that if it's
Speaker 1: the very best, then that's how that's what people should
Speaker 1: have been judged by. All along, there are a bunch
Speaker 1: of players in there who were not the very best
Speaker 1: in the sport in the face, Yes, Larry Walker should
Speaker 1: not be punished because he played in Colorado. But that's
Speaker 1: the thing. It's not fair, like, oh, he took advantage
Speaker 1: of where he played, all right, plenty of players have
Speaker 1: played the confines of Wrigley Field when it was even
Speaker 1: smaller than it is, right, Like, it's crazy that this
Speaker 1: guy gets, in my opinion, that he gets penal lives
Speaker 1: because he plays in Colorado. That's ridiculous to me. And
Speaker 1: I understand the home and rose splits are egregious, that
Speaker 1: that's fine, but it's not. That's not a fine case.
Speaker 1: Which leads me to another player who, as you're going
Speaker 1: to point out in a few moments, Frank, whose home
Speaker 1: and road splits are a drastic and that's Nolan Aaronado.
Speaker 1: The other big story in baseball, outside of the Hall
Speaker 1: of Fame and outside of every cheater in Houston, is
Speaker 1: no one Arnado and will he or will he not
Speaker 1: be traded? You asked me a few weeks back, Frankie,
Speaker 1: isn't a foregone conclusion that no One Arnado will not
Speaker 1: be a member of the Colorado Rockies next year? And
Speaker 1: I said absolutely not, like I think he will play
Speaker 1: for the Rockies. Last night, their general manager came out
Speaker 1: and said, yeah, we don't want the trade talks. No
Speaker 1: one will be here in spring an Aeronado and Aaronado's
Speaker 1: manuri silent up until now until he says, quote, I
Speaker 1: feel disrespected, And then everyone was like, oh, those disrespected.
Speaker 1: He was being shot in the trade. He then calls
Speaker 1: a reporter back, no, no, no, no, I don't feel
Speaker 1: disrespected about being trade rumors. It's fine, it's part of
Speaker 1: the business. I feel disrespected for things I don't want
Speaker 1: to talk about, and I feel disrespected over how our
Speaker 1: offseason has gone. And if you read this, tea leaves
Speaker 1: there it's very obvious when he's talking about when he
Speaker 1: signed this monstrous extension last year, he went to the owner,
Speaker 1: Dick Mont for it, and he went to um, the
Speaker 1: general manager, and he said, listen, if I'm signing here,
Speaker 1: I expect to be competitive every single year. I want
Speaker 1: to compete every single year. Two years ago, they spent
Speaker 1: all these money on terrible players like Wade Davis and
Speaker 1: Brian Shaw and Umm and Ian Desmond, none of whom
Speaker 1: worked out. But they tried last year with a couple
Speaker 1: of editions like Daniel Murphy. He thought, Okay, maybe they'll
Speaker 1: be all right this year. I like them. Last year,
Speaker 1: I'm sure I took the over because I'm a Moroakis fan,
Speaker 1: and they were awful. They were awful, So this year,
Speaker 1: no one hour Nado expected them to improve, to do something.
Speaker 1: But the Rockies have not signed a single major league
Speaker 1: free agent and it's currently January twenty one, not one
Speaker 1: this offseason for a team that finished with one of
Speaker 1: the worst records in the National League seventy one and
Speaker 1: nine one awful. Now, in fair NDErs to them, they
Speaker 1: do have the second highest payroll in the NL West
Speaker 1: going into this season, behind the Dodgers. I believe the
Speaker 1: payroll hundred and seventy million dollars. There's not nothing many means,
Speaker 1: but Arronado doesn't feel like the team is keeping their
Speaker 1: word and trying to compete. Do you believe that the
Speaker 1: Rockies are trying to compete. What do you believe that
Speaker 1: Nolan Arnado that they essentially lied to him and thus
Speaker 1: they're being disrespectful. I do think that they lied to him.
Speaker 1: I mean based on the off season that they've had
Speaker 1: thus far, obviously coming off the season where they won
Speaker 1: seventy one games. I mean, mind you, he's been up
Speaker 1: with the team since They've only been over five hundred
Speaker 1: twice during that span where you know, they lost in
Speaker 1: the wild Card game in seventeen to the Diamondbacks. They
Speaker 1: won the wild card game against the Cubs in eighteen,
Speaker 1: and they lost in the NLDS they got swept by
Speaker 1: the Milwaukee Brewers. Ineen, So he's tasted postseason of the
Speaker 1: season just twice in seven seasons with the team, and
Speaker 1: I understand, Look, this happens in all sports. It's happening
Speaker 1: with Bradley Beale right now with the Washington Wizards. And
Speaker 1: guys don't want to play for losing teams. And yes,
Speaker 1: they signed these huge contract extensions and they're looking out
Speaker 1: for themselves and their family. And look, I'm never gonna
Speaker 1: blame a player for wanting to get their money. There's
Speaker 1: I will never blame a player for that whatsoever. So
Speaker 1: it's it's a little bit of both here, right, because
Speaker 1: you signed the extension, right, you're supposed to honor that contract. Yes,
Speaker 1: you want to be competitive, but you signed an extension
Speaker 1: with the Colorado Rocky. If you wanted to be with
Speaker 1: a more competitive team, why didn't you just go to
Speaker 1: free agency where you still would have got paid the
Speaker 1: same amount people were gonna pay nol Arroado no matter what. Obviously,
Speaker 1: not just the colorad the Rockies. There there are plenty
Speaker 1: of suitors out there as we see now amidst trade
Speaker 1: rumors that want noln Aranado on the team. He chose
Speaker 1: to sign with the Rockies, so it's yes, the Rockies
Speaker 1: lied to him. They are not competitive, right, and I
Speaker 1: don't see them being comp at it any time soon.
Speaker 1: They're pitching is terrible and it has been basically as
Speaker 1: long as they've been a franchise. They cannot get good
Speaker 1: pitching in corps Field. They had that half a year
Speaker 1: of you Balda, Yes, you baldome Is that was fun,
Speaker 1: but outside of that, they can't find any pitching. And
Speaker 1: no matter how great your offense is, if you're a
Speaker 1: one sided team, and again, it doesn't matter what support
Speaker 1: you are, You're really not going to be competitive. So
Speaker 1: it was wrong by the Rockies if they told him
Speaker 1: that they were going to be competitive in order to
Speaker 1: get him to sign that contract. But at the same time,
Speaker 1: going Ronado should have realized the Rockies are probably not
Speaker 1: going to be good, so he could have signed that
Speaker 1: contract somewhere else. It's a little bit of both, but
Speaker 1: I see why he would be angry with the organization. Ultimately,
Speaker 1: I think he gets traded before the season starts. Great
Speaker 1: two so I really didn't think so before yesterday, I
Speaker 1: really didn't think he's killing their leverage too. With all this,
Speaker 1: clearly he got his mouth shut. You know, I guess
Speaker 1: he's getting traded, really and you want to say the
Speaker 1: wrong thing. He didn't want to be disrespectful in anyway,
Speaker 1: but you know, in this negotiation, I'm sure listen, we
Speaker 1: think about the personal side. Where you live in Colorado,
Speaker 1: you like playing in Colorado, your family obviously lives in Colorado,
Speaker 1: you don't want to move. And if they're gonna offer
Speaker 1: you close to close to the amount of money that
Speaker 1: you expect to make on the open market, you stay.
Speaker 1: But he wanted the best of both worlds. He wants
Speaker 1: to get paid and he wanted to be competitive, so
Speaker 1: he went to the owner of the GM and listen,
Speaker 1: I will sign with you, but you need to be
Speaker 1: competitive and you need to lay out the money. You
Speaker 1: have to do it. And there's probably a level of
Speaker 1: loyalty there too, right, Sure, the team to drafts him.
Speaker 1: He wants to win with that team when he wants
Speaker 1: the loyalty on both sides, right, Like, you're and that's fair.
Speaker 1: I agree that that's what they told him. I mean,
Speaker 1: we don't know what happened to My reports are that
Speaker 1: they told him that, And why wouldn't they if you
Speaker 1: want to keep going Alorado? Of course, yeah, we're gonna
Speaker 1: bring it a bunch of guys and I'm sure they're
Speaker 1: not excuse, but in their minds, I'd be like, listen,
Speaker 1: we aren't trying to be competitive. We put a hundred
Speaker 1: seventy billion dollars into this team. I mean, not my
Speaker 1: fault that Ian Desmond and Daniel Murphy. So they need
Speaker 1: a manager short general manager. Yes, yes, yeah they were.
Speaker 1: They placed their manager recently in Bud Black, bringing Bud
Speaker 1: Black and replacing Walt White. But yeah, sure, Bud Black
Speaker 1: isn't the answer either he's been there for what to
Speaker 1: or three years? Now, let me the playoffs before that? True?
Speaker 1: The first year he hasnt made the playoffs, I think right,
Speaker 1: that is correct, So I mean hen't placed him after that?
Speaker 1: That's not fair. So question now becomes will know Narro
Speaker 1: not to get traded. It's funny because last week we
Speaker 1: were talking about doing a little of Milan art out
Speaker 1: of players profile a bit. So let's dive into one hour.
Speaker 1: Notcause we know what he's in Colorado. He's the first
Speaker 1: round pick. He gets traded, is he still the first
Speaker 1: round pick? How does his career compared to some of
Speaker 1: the other players that have gone out of Colorado in
Speaker 1: the prior of their careers. We'll tell you for the
Speaker 1: next half hour here on the BFFs. NFL season is

Speaker 1: right Frank Stample, Greg Susiman here looking Rockies Baseball. In fact, no,
Speaker 1: no Arnado may be traded, may not be, but right
Speaker 1: now you have this mock draft tomorrow, and people have
Speaker 1: seemingly fallen off the Nolan Arnado bandwagon for bold reasons.
Speaker 1: One those drastic home road splits. Number two, in fact,
Speaker 1: he may get traded so he won't be playing in
Speaker 1: Colorado for eighty one games anymore. Number Three, here's a
Speaker 1: run at all. And when you have all these guys
Speaker 1: that hit all these home runs in the juice ball era,
Speaker 1: all these RBIs and the juice ball era, and he hit,
Speaker 1: you know, close enough to three hundred juice bal era,
Speaker 1: you want guys that score runs, and you want guys
Speaker 1: that have a speed. Nolan Arnado neither really his strongest seed.
Speaker 1: I would say so, Frank, you've done some research here.
Speaker 1: What say you about non Arnado. I think we're knowing
Speaker 1: Ronado is going right now. According to the NFBC in
Speaker 1: the month of January, at pick thirteen point two, the
Speaker 1: fourteenth play are off the board. I think makes that
Speaker 1: makes sense as the back end of the first round player,
Speaker 1: as long as he is with the Colorado Rockies going
Speaker 1: one pick a head of Freddy Freeman. Everybody else in
Speaker 1: the first round Long Soto, Trevor Story, Alex Bregman, Trey Turner,
Speaker 1: Lindor those are the five hitters just ahead of him.
Speaker 1: They all contribute something in stolen basis, well, not great.
Speaker 1: They might give you eight to ten stolen basis. A
Speaker 1: few of those guys Lindor will give you twenty. Trey
Speaker 1: Turner will give you forty. Um. Those they all contribute
Speaker 1: something in stolen bases. Nolan Ardado does not. He's gonna
Speaker 1: give you two to three stolen bases. Now realize I said,
Speaker 1: as long as he is in Colorado, this is a
Speaker 1: fair place for him to go. He's a legit four
Speaker 1: category contributor, thirty five to forty home runs, gonna hit
Speaker 1: around three hundred, gonna give you close to one runs
Speaker 1: over a hundred RDIs. He's a four category stud. There's
Speaker 1: no doubt about it, as long as he's in Colorado.
Speaker 1: Greg And the reason I say that is because you
Speaker 1: look at his career, much like Larry Walker and a
Speaker 1: few other Rockies that were former Rockies that will talk
Speaker 1: about his home road splits career at home three batting
Speaker 1: average three eight on base six fifteen slug a p
Speaker 1: s on the road two sixty five three three or
Speaker 1: seventy six A seven ninety nine o ps, his babbit
Speaker 1: goes from three seven at home to to seventy six
Speaker 1: on the road. Is is o to ninety at home
Speaker 1: on the road to eleven waited runs created plus one
Speaker 1: thirty at home one oh nine on the road. To
Speaker 1: put that in perspective, Greg last year, two players had
Speaker 1: an exact two eleven isolated power. Those players were Paul
Speaker 1: Deyong and Corey Siver. That's basically Nolan Arronado on the road.
Speaker 1: Two players had a one nine waited runs created plus
Speaker 1: in twenty nine, Eduardo Escobar and fran Bill Reis. That's
Speaker 1: basically who Nolan Arronado is on the road. Now. If
Speaker 1: he were to be traded somewhere else, let's just say St. Louis,
Speaker 1: for example, more of a neutral ballpark, maybe geared more
Speaker 1: towards pitching slightly. I don't think that he would just
Speaker 1: be a seven S player. I mean players play better
Speaker 1: at home, and obviously they played better in course field.
Speaker 1: I think he would probably settle in somewhere around in
Speaker 1: eight seventy five p S player, which is a very
Speaker 1: good player. That's very clearly a second round player in
Speaker 1: fantasy baseball, maybe even a third round player if we're
Speaker 1: being honest, just if I had to project the stat
Speaker 1: line if he's if he ends up with St. Louis,
Speaker 1: I'll say to seventy five thirty two to thirty four
Speaker 1: home runs, probably close to under RB I still less
Speaker 1: than runs, but obviously you're gonna lose about twenty to
Speaker 1: twenty five points off the batting average and let's say
Speaker 1: five to seven home runs. That's a that's a second
Speaker 1: round player. I think it's a very fair second round player.
Speaker 1: Who would you rather have he gets traded? No? One, never,
Speaker 1: not No. Aaron Judge still known Eronado just because Aaron
Speaker 1: Judge has issues with health and I don't I don't
Speaker 1: know that they're going to go away. And understand, his
Speaker 1: first year as a rookie was kind of fluke. He
Speaker 1: got hit in the hand, he broke a bone. But
Speaker 1: we spoke a lot about this with Virginia Zakus of
Speaker 1: inside injuries last year. And when it comes to Judge
Speaker 1: and when it comes to Stay, and these guys are
Speaker 1: freak athletes. They're huge, They're very muscular human beings. I
Speaker 1: don't know that baseball players are supposed to be built
Speaker 1: like that. Greg And until one of Stanton or Judge
Speaker 1: shows me again, that they can play over a hundred
Speaker 1: and fifty games, let's even say a hundred forty games.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'm gonna assume that they play under that.
Speaker 1: I just don't know that someone who's built like that
Speaker 1: is supposed to play baseball every single day throughout the
Speaker 1: course of six months. And I think that they'll always
Speaker 1: kind of have a propensity for injuries there. So for me,
Speaker 1: I'd lean with Aeronado, but I think you're in the
Speaker 1: right range. I think he would probably drop down into
Speaker 1: that late second round range, And I think that makes
Speaker 1: sense if you want to talk about just at the position. Sure,
Speaker 1: the question that you ask yourself is who would you
Speaker 1: rather have if you were traded, Rafael Dever's or nol
Speaker 1: Eronado So as somebody that and you were talking about
Speaker 1: this before downstairs, about Trevor Bower as someone that's been
Speaker 1: burned by Raffil Devers before a couple of years ago. Yeah, see,
Speaker 1: what he did last year was extremely strimely frustrating. I'm
Speaker 1: right there with together. What do you do it again?
Speaker 1: Or do you take war of what you think is
Speaker 1: a short thing? And what is no Eronado a short thing?
Speaker 1: If he's not in course fields. Maybe Raffie Devers at
Speaker 1: Alex Court, Alex Court cheating behind him not I'm not
Speaker 1: not even realib definitely, but I think that would be
Speaker 1: a fair question, right like Raffie Devers versus No One Aera, No,
Speaker 1: it's a fair question. I think that that's the range
Speaker 1: that Aeronado would drop too, if you were traded. Right now,
Speaker 1: Devers is ADP. So you think that much of his
Speaker 1: value just comes from Colorado? For sure, there's no doubt
Speaker 1: about it. I just laid out the homewoad. I understand.
Speaker 1: So Raffie Devers is going to pick twenty three right now.
Speaker 1: Aaron Judge is going to pick twenty nine. If you
Speaker 1: think Aaron o versus Judge is a fair question, Devers
Speaker 1: is going six spots ahead of Aaron Judge right now. Judge,
Speaker 1: of course, you do all blue and white, some more names.
Speaker 1: No One, Arnado, Fernando Tatis right now, right now, you
Speaker 1: have to do Arnando. Don't be so sure. Come on,
Speaker 1: Fatis is rising up, drapping what I would do. You're
Speaker 1: saying your show, what do you doing? Sin his team
Speaker 1: point team point too. I see it right now. If
Speaker 1: you told me No One Arnado is playing this entire
Speaker 1: season in Colorado, I would take him over Fernando. What
Speaker 1: if he's playing his entire season in St. Louis, I
Speaker 1: would take tis. Well. He was just amazing, Greg. He
Speaker 1: took the lead by storm last year as in his
Speaker 1: first taste in the Mlbreg's like, hold on a second,
Speaker 1: let me look at the Fernando Tatis here, Because how
Speaker 1: good was Fernando Tatis Jr? Really? I mean, Greg, That's
Speaker 1: what I'm trying to figure out. He's pretty damn good.
Speaker 1: He goes three seventeen with a nine six o PSS
Speaker 1: A rookie played eighty four games, for sure, we definitely
Speaker 1: care about that. Twenty two home runs and sixteen stolen
Speaker 1: basis with a hundred and sixteen runs scored in right
Speaker 1: around half a season. Excellent. You're not gonna do the
Speaker 1: thing where you're, oh, well, if you multiplied this by two,
Speaker 1: he's gonna hit forty four home runs and steal thirty
Speaker 1: two bases. And he's not gonna do that. But I'll
Speaker 1: give you some projections. He's just came out today. Fantastic.
Speaker 1: The A t C projection. Who's seventy four twenty nine
Speaker 1: home runs, four runs scored, twenty four stolen bases for
Speaker 1: Bernando Tatis, which is not It's not really far off
Speaker 1: from Trevor story, who is a bona fied first round pick.
Speaker 1: More's more runs. Now, he's gonna hit more home runs,
Speaker 1: give you more r bis runs are similar, stolen bases
Speaker 1: are a little bit higher for Tatis, similar batting average,
Speaker 1: so it's not far off if he should go a
Speaker 1: little bit behind Trevor's story based on those projections bad
Speaker 1: that it was crazy for sure. There's no doubt about
Speaker 1: franks out a lot at three seventeen. He's not gonna
Speaker 1: three seventeen. I guess the second round. I guess for
Speaker 1: now because he's the second round pick. Because it reminds,
Speaker 1: you know, what reminds me of the rising of Starling
Speaker 1: Martein when he was doing this couple years ago, and
Speaker 1: starring Bartein was always the SECD round back. That's where
Speaker 1: that's like what I translate for not to tease store. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Like I would say a fair projection for Tatis is
Speaker 1: to seventy close to thirty home runs five steals, like
Speaker 1: a thirty player with a two seventy batting average that
Speaker 1: probably scored close to a hundred runs. That's close to
Speaker 1: a first round pick, if not a first round pick. Interesting, Yep,
Speaker 1: it's good to know learning learning. Greg's learning, he's jumping in.
Speaker 1: Got a late start this year, you know it's not
Speaker 1: really late start happen yet, I mean great two years
Speaker 1: ago you're looking at Tyler Chatwin. Was how did I
Speaker 1: do that year? I don't know. I was your twenty
Speaker 1: seventeen Was it a profitable year? How did you Nando
Speaker 1: do in DSc that year? I don't probably poorly if
Speaker 1: I know not, No not trained you for my chat.
Speaker 1: That was fun. You did do that, I think with
Speaker 1: the King, Yeah, that was cool. Twenty nine team was
Speaker 1: was not good. He was a profitable year for Greg.
Speaker 1: Seventeen didn't I don't really do want you, I don't think. Yeah,
Speaker 1: twenty nine team probably wasn't a great year for you,
Speaker 1: considering you stopped helping me do waiver wire bids for
Speaker 1: the final three months of the season. He was very bad.
Speaker 1: It was bad team, but he was, but he was
Speaker 1: very very bad. It seems like you have more faith
Speaker 1: in No One Arnado if he were to be traded
Speaker 1: an Eronado guy, I am that's a that's a really
Speaker 1: good word for it. It's it's faith in Nolan Aronado,
Speaker 1: and I understand what the splits are. I get it.
Speaker 1: Is it fair to use that, Like if he's playing
Speaker 1: eighty one home games in St. Louis, it's not as
Speaker 1: the same as playing with Dodger Stadium or playing them
Speaker 1: or even in Miller Park, the opposite end of it, right, Like,
Speaker 1: that's why I didn't just give him his road splits, right,
Speaker 1: his road openst in his career se I think he'll
Speaker 1: still be like a sevent ops play and and you
Speaker 1: were and you were fair with that, right, Like I'm not.
Speaker 1: Faith is a really good word because at just twenty
Speaker 1: nine years old in April now, I was still in
Speaker 1: the prime of his career. I think he's a crazy
Speaker 1: to think that he's going to hit forty home runs
Speaker 1: away from course, not playing all those games Corse Field.
Speaker 1: Maybe that's probably crazy. That's probably crazy. I don't think
Speaker 1: it's crazy to say at thirty, right, that that's not crazy.
Speaker 1: For what it's worth, Greg has expected batting average consistently
Speaker 1: has been below to eighty to seventy one expected batting
Speaker 1: average in his career to actual batting average in his career.
Speaker 1: That's the coors field. That's an inflated babbit and coors
Speaker 1: field that's an issue. Yeah, that's a major. So that's
Speaker 1: why you know, when I gave my realistic projection for
Speaker 1: Eronado potentially in a Cardinals uniform, he's probably a two sew.
Speaker 1: A lot of people said anything about DJ which doesn't
Speaker 1: hurt your batting average in Rhodo. That's she's not. No,
Speaker 1: you want to be, but he's just not a borderline
Speaker 1: fors round back then, No, he's not. He's like the
Speaker 1: mid a late second rounder. Yeah, well theseus you're not
Speaker 1: are out a go tomorrow for you steal in the
Speaker 1: second round right now, Greg J. D. Martinos, all right,
Speaker 1: we talked about this Roady Yeah, all right. Heal Mayhew
Speaker 1: and Will counted him out when he went left Colorado,
Speaker 1: but he was better than ever last year. We'll try
Speaker 1: to figure out why next NFL season is now upon us.
Speaker 1: So you can become the eighth person away one million
Speaker 1: dollars in a FanDuel Draft Kings tournament my setting their
Speaker 1: lineups using the Daily Order dot Com DFS lot of optimizer.

Speaker 1: talks during the break, like diving too, baseball, learning so much, Frank,
Speaker 1: proud of you, buddy? Are you excited? It's kind of exciting.
Speaker 1: I'm excited, you know, get back into base I love baseball.
Speaker 1: I just like you don't love talking baseball like the song, right,
Speaker 1: I don't like the song. That's a fact. You do.
Speaker 1: Love Carly ray Jeffson, Whiz Kids and want Hope you
Speaker 1: play Carly ray Jefson, come on and yogi rid the
Speaker 1: comics all. What was the song? Carly ray Jefson was
Speaker 1: known for, Holy Maybe I'll call me Maybe I get
Speaker 1: her in The Girl who Sings Friday Confused Black One's
Speaker 1: like a superstar Ones not well in my mind, They'll
Speaker 1: always be one hit wonder Harly ray Jefson has many
Speaker 1: other songs than that. The point you're getting is I'm
Speaker 1: not giving her a fair shake. You're not you don't
Speaker 1: know her other music. It's not reasonable. That is a
Speaker 1: factual statement. I don't know her other music, and Danny
Speaker 1: do you do you know her other music? I feel
Speaker 1: that she has a new album, but I didn't know
Speaker 1: anything else. Coming back from the next break, play a
Speaker 1: Carly ray Jefson song, right like, if you like cut
Speaker 1: to the feeling, that would be great. No, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: you don't even know the song. All right, what't play it?
Speaker 1: I'm back from the next baybe it's just pushing in
Speaker 1: a good mood. You know this is why people hate it? Great?
Speaker 1: This is me? You hate me? I'm sorry, this is me.
Speaker 1: At least you're hating the real me or love it.
Speaker 1: Get the dogs on top. That's a better st where
Speaker 1: you think you're going? Bavi it? Sorry, this is crazy.
Speaker 1: So he's my number? Can we please suck suck may Man?
Speaker 1: He used to may you left Colorado last year as
Speaker 1: a thirty year old player, and he goes over to
Speaker 1: go over to the Yankees. You didn't know it's playing
Speaker 1: time you do. The ballpark was good, obviously not as
Speaker 1: good as Colorado? What could you? May you do well?
Speaker 1: Last year he was in arguably the Yankees m d
Speaker 1: P six whole runs, hundred and nine runs scored, a
Speaker 1: hundred and two ribs, stole gold bases, batting three seven
Speaker 1: The Babbitt was around three fifty. He has done that before.
Speaker 1: He was fantastic last year the New York Yankees. The
Speaker 1: question that all fantasy owners have, any Yankee fans like,
Speaker 1: is Kenny do it again? What's your answer to that?
Speaker 1: I don't think that he'll be able to do what
Speaker 1: he did last year. I think that that's very clearly
Speaker 1: gonna end up being a career year for him by
Speaker 1: all accounts. You know, you put it next to any
Speaker 1: season he's ever had. The power is not going to
Speaker 1: be there. Home runs, a hundred nine runs scored, The
Speaker 1: runs very clearly could be over one hundred. I really
Speaker 1: do believe that. But one two r bis. I mean,
Speaker 1: this guy was a machine. They called him the Machine.
Speaker 1: The Yankees actually gave him the nickname the Machine because
Speaker 1: with runners in scoring position, runners in scoring position with
Speaker 1: two outs, he was unstoppable. He was amazing. I don't
Speaker 1: know that that's going to happen again. Expecting anywhere close
Speaker 1: to a hundred RBIs as a leadoff hitter, that seems
Speaker 1: like fools gold. So the projections that I see seventy
Speaker 1: five r bis even as a leadoff hitter, that's a lot.
Speaker 1: But in the Yankees line up, he should be able
Speaker 1: to do that. Seventy a d r bis, I think
Speaker 1: that's fair. The batting average. Look, you mentioned he's done
Speaker 1: this before, Greg, there was another year with Colorado back
Speaker 1: in sixteen where he hit three forty eight. He hit
Speaker 1: three twenty seven last year. Is that completely out of
Speaker 1: the realm of possibility? I don't think so. I wouldn't
Speaker 1: project it personally, but I do think he's gonna hit
Speaker 1: over three hundred. I think he can hit, you know,
Speaker 1: anywhere from three ten to three fifteen. You know, last year,
Speaker 1: you look at his stack cast numbers, he was amazing.
Speaker 1: His egg velocity nine second percentile. His expected batting average
Speaker 1: was in the percentile. So he did things a little
Speaker 1: bit differently last year. He hit the ball extremely hard.
Speaker 1: He raised his launch angle a little bit. It was
Speaker 1: the highest UH six point seven average degrees a launch
Speaker 1: angle last year was the highest of his career as
Speaker 1: well highest expected slugging percentage of his career. Even with
Speaker 1: his batting average being three seven, the expected batting average
Speaker 1: was three twenty two. So there's really not a lot
Speaker 1: that says that Mayhew is going to regress all of
Speaker 1: that much graz is, but he is going to I
Speaker 1: think so. I think it's kind of collins. I don't
Speaker 1: think the I think they're going to change the ball,
Speaker 1: like no one knows for sure what that effect is
Speaker 1: going to have, but the effect that it would have
Speaker 1: is on someone like la Mayhew from a power perspective,
Speaker 1: you know, him hitting twenty six home runs. He never
Speaker 1: had more than fifteen ever before in his career, So
Speaker 1: I would say he's probably gonna hit fifteen eighteen home
Speaker 1: runs this year, score over a hundred runs, hit over
Speaker 1: three hundred seventy to a d R BIS, and give
Speaker 1: you a handful of stolen basis. That's a very good basis.
Speaker 1: That's a very good player. Is a DP right now
Speaker 1: sits at sixty five. So if you're in a twelve
Speaker 1: team league, that's in the sixth round, if you're in
Speaker 1: a fifteen team or that's in the early fifth round
Speaker 1: of a draft, it seems like pretty good value. It
Speaker 1: seems fair. It seems fair to me. He provides categories
Speaker 1: that are often overlooked. He's an elite run scorer, he's
Speaker 1: elite at batting average. He's not going to completely kill
Speaker 1: you in home runs and r BIS. The problem with
Speaker 1: the batting average contributors that you'll find later on in
Speaker 1: Rohoto drafts is they don't do anything else. It's gonna
Speaker 1: be guys that hit over three hundred, but it's like
Speaker 1: Luisa Rayas, who's gonna give you a ten home runs
Speaker 1: and he's not. He's gonna give you a maybe fifty
Speaker 1: r v I. You know. So the thing with le
Speaker 1: Mayhew is elite runs, elite batting average doesn't completely kill
Speaker 1: you in the other spots. Base I think you also
Speaker 1: appreciate the position eligibility second this year for second and third. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's a great point. If you play in a you know,
Speaker 1: one of these draft in whole leagues like a Draft
Speaker 1: Champions League or even a Best Ball draft, the Best
Speaker 1: Ball drafts, they they pick your position before, and he's
Speaker 1: a second baseman in Fantrack's Best Ball drafts. But in
Speaker 1: the draft and hold leagues, having that versatility is great first, second,
Speaker 1: and third. So you're right about that. What I've noticed
Speaker 1: so far is first and second base are really not
Speaker 1: all that deep this year, especially second base, third beast.
Speaker 1: Third base is way deep. We mentioned that when we
Speaker 1: previewed Josh Donaldson signing with the with the Minnesota Twins.
Speaker 1: So all in all, le Mayhew returned what second third
Speaker 1: round value last year. He was a top four second
Speaker 1: baseman in both points leagues and roto leagues last year.
Speaker 1: I think he's a good value. I think he's a
Speaker 1: fair value. Maybe not, you know, a steal by any means,
Speaker 1: but I think where he's going is fair. It makes sense,
Speaker 1: it seems right. So the other guy is going in
Speaker 1: his area according to the NFBC. At the moment, he's
Speaker 1: a mostly leagues or right behind him, Matt Olson. I
Speaker 1: do love med Olson. Greg. You know that they're different players, right,
Speaker 1: You're gonna you have to know what you want at
Speaker 1: that point in the draft. Victor Roles, people will never
Speaker 1: quit robot anyways, young Mr. People think robots can have that.
Speaker 1: March totally understand it. Mr RB I granted at himself,
Speaker 1: Anthony Rizzo, Oh my goodness, why are people still doing this? Man?
Speaker 1: You get jose A Bravery twenty picks later. He said
Speaker 1: this last year too. Last year he said, you get
Speaker 1: later Paul gold Schmidt. I like the value on Goldie.
Speaker 1: Who'd rather have again? It comes down to what you need.
Speaker 1: You know, Goldie at this point doesn't really give you
Speaker 1: a much batting average. He's gonna give he's gonna be
Speaker 1: a two sixty hitters, but he's close to a Matt
Speaker 1: Olsen type player. He's gonna give you power. He's gonna
Speaker 1: give you he's gonna give you the home runs, he's
Speaker 1: gonna give you RBIs. He's gonna give you how scored
Speaker 1: something like that? How many homewwers these fishes last old
Speaker 1: gold Schmidt and that was in a juice ball season,
Speaker 1: you know seven. So I don't mind gold Schmidt. Fine,
Speaker 1: And it comes down to what you need, and I'm
Speaker 1: saying I don't know that it does. I would probably
Speaker 1: just like Mayhew still might be the choice. Just prefer
Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying. Last one I want to give
Speaker 1: you behind him is to you on Moncada. I can
Speaker 1: see wanting mon Malkada had the highest bat of than
Speaker 1: old baseball last year. He did you have three fiftn
Speaker 1: his strikeouts? He cut down his strikeouts last year. But
Speaker 1: the thing is so with Mankata. He brings massive proces
Speaker 1: pick pedigree that may you never had. Of course, so
Speaker 1: like this might just be like the natural progression five
Speaker 1: years old in May, it would it surprise you. The
Speaker 1: batting average is gonna come down, right, He's not gonna
Speaker 1: lead the lead last year. So even if that comes
Speaker 1: down to like to eight to ninety, still could have
Speaker 1: thirty home runs, fifteen stolen bases something like that. At
Speaker 1: of Moncada, he's only getting better, I can I can
Speaker 1: see making the case for Moncada over dj Lmayhew. So
Speaker 1: last year played a hundred and thirty games. This year
Speaker 1: he's projected to play anywhere bet similar amount of home runs,
Speaker 1: similar amount of r VA, highest run scoring and stole
Speaker 1: in vases. The average is significantly worse. Right, the average
Speaker 1: goes from the three fifteen last year's to mo like
Speaker 1: a six five hit. That's what they haven't projected for
Speaker 1: was the k percentage out last year from anata twenty
Speaker 1: seven and a half. What was it the year before
Speaker 1: thirty three point four? All right, so look if he cuts,
Speaker 1: if he cuts that again a lot, not cut it
Speaker 1: that much, but he drops it to percent will say
Speaker 1: this he walked last last year too, he walked ten
Speaker 1: percent at the time, walked just seven percent at the time.
Speaker 1: It's nine okay, so he was more What that tells
Speaker 1: me is he was he was more aggressive at swinging
Speaker 1: at pitches in the st inside the strike zone, so
Speaker 1: he wasn't as passive in terms of taking walks. That's fine. Look,
Speaker 1: if that's gonna help with the batting average and help him,
Speaker 1: you know, mature and and become that player that we
Speaker 1: all expected Moncata to be, then sure he can. You know,
Speaker 1: if he stays around a seven eight percent walk, great,
Speaker 1: that's fine. Used to Lee, I do, I feel this
Speaker 1: is probably the closest one. I agree. I totally agree.
Speaker 1: I feel safer with le Mayhew, no doubt about it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: definitely a safer player than Moncada. Marcada has more upset
Speaker 1: so let may you Anyway, The point is may he
Speaker 1: leaves Colorado and has a career year, so before that,
Speaker 1: I'm sorry they missed this. His home road splits while
Speaker 1: in Colorado, like well, a member of the eight is
Speaker 1: for his career, we could just say making his career.
Speaker 1: Before he joined the Yankees last year, he was in
Speaker 1: course field hitter eight thirty or ops. This was d G.
Speaker 1: Le Mayhew in his career in general, So this isn't
Speaker 1: just I couldn't extrapolate just his road splits without before
Speaker 1: he joined the Yankees, so just his career in general.
Speaker 1: He was a three O two hitter, so from three
Speaker 1: to three o two from eight thirty four to seven
Speaker 1: seventy six for ga okay, And obviously isn't he had
Speaker 1: a career in Yankee Stadium and it was a juice ball.
Speaker 1: It's a good environment still to hit in Yankee Stadium,
Speaker 1: better than Bush? Is this the bush the Cardinals? I
Speaker 1: think it is new Bush maybe is called the New Bush? Maybe,
Speaker 1: but it's a better environment to hit. And then you know,
Speaker 1: if Eronado were to join St. Louis, uh, And I
Speaker 1: mean both are really good line it's with the Yankees
Speaker 1: line up is better than the Cardinals. I had Matt
Speaker 1: Holiday as another so I was about bringing that up.
Speaker 1: So we talked about the Cardinals a lot. We talked
Speaker 1: about players leaving Colorado in the middle of their careers
Speaker 1: that howid he did right? Traded to Oakland, the traded St.
Speaker 1: Louis and that's kind of where he spent the majority
Speaker 1: of the second half of his career with the St.
Speaker 1: Louis Cardinals now frank Um. When Holiday left, he's in
Speaker 1: the prime of his career are his flits, So from
Speaker 1: two thousand four to two thousand and eight he was
Speaker 1: a three nineteen, three eight six, five fifty two hitter
Speaker 1: his career in corps field three sixty batting average a
Speaker 1: thousand and eight two o ps. His career in general
Speaker 1: to hitter so from three sixty nine o ps was
Speaker 1: eight eighty nine. So from one thousand eighty two to
Speaker 1: eighty nine o p s in the years just after
Speaker 1: he left course Field from two thousand nine to two
Speaker 1: thousand thirteen, this is a five year sample where he
Speaker 1: was still in the prime of his career. He hit
Speaker 1: three oh four, three eight, eight, five twelve UM and
Speaker 1: in corpse field from two thousand four to two thousand
Speaker 1: and eight while with the Rockies he had a three
Speaker 1: fifty three battit That went to three thirty three when
Speaker 1: he was with the Cardinals, so dropped by twenty points.
Speaker 1: Is I went from two thirty three to two oh eight,
Speaker 1: so that lowered by twenty five points. Uh. He was
Speaker 1: actually a better hitter overall, just in terms of weighted
Speaker 1: runs created plus one thirty three with Colorado one with
Speaker 1: the Cardinals better better lineup probably in his time, I
Speaker 1: would say those Cardinals, that's interesting. But what I'm taking away,
Speaker 1: he's in most cases it maybe notwithstanding the average is
Speaker 1: gonna drop Friaronada. The average is clearly gonna joke out
Speaker 1: about it. How are will we'll drop? But not like significantly.
Speaker 1: I don't think it will be a combination of the
Speaker 1: juice ball dropping and I think it'll be like and
Speaker 1: certainly leaving Colorado playing all those games, so they'll still
Speaker 1: be around because they're on forty last years or forty
Speaker 1: every year, will be closer to the thirty thirty five
Speaker 1: range than forty. Realistically with with a lesser average, I
Speaker 1: think rb eisil s will be there. I agree with
Speaker 1: you that the runs go the runs go lower, and
Speaker 1: I agree that you know he's still never gonna steal
Speaker 1: basis And it's not who Nolan Arroo or is. You
Speaker 1: don't get points for being the best third basement in
Speaker 1: the game. It's not a thing in fantasy baseball. I
Speaker 1: do believe that errors should be a category. I stand
Speaker 1: by that. Um, I get it. I've talked to you
Speaker 1: off known Ronado. That was the whole point of this show.
Speaker 1: Only he gets traded, usually trading them all in. Oh,
Speaker 1: for sure. I agree with you. Like I said, if
Speaker 1: he stays in Colorado, he's in Colorado from day one,
Speaker 1: and that doesn't mean it's gonna end the year from
Speaker 1: day one to day five, day one of the season
Speaker 1: opening day, then he should still be a late first
Speaker 1: round pick. Yeah. I believe that. Yeah, Okay, I think
Speaker 1: I'm on the same page again. Desonating by the way
Speaker 1: I pulled up was full his road split in general
Speaker 1: to some of these two verses. Three thirty one at
Speaker 1: home counting the Yankee year interesting, the whole runs, which
Speaker 1: is I'm more interesting than ever forty home runs in
Speaker 1: Colorado slash Ky Stadium thirty five pretty similar when I
Speaker 1: was all sudden down, which I think it was really interesting.
Speaker 1: It's the average you've pointed out, as it makes sense.
Speaker 1: Three questions in three minutes. Next NFL season is now apatos,
Speaker 1: so you can be going the eighth person away one
Speaker 1: million dollars in a Fanduela Draft Kings tournament. My setting
Speaker 1: theer lineups using the Daily Order dot Com DFS line
Speaker 1: of optimizer. If you were playing Kailee Fantasy Sports and
Speaker 1: not using Daily Order, come, you're doing it wrong. Sign
Speaker 1: up down for the NFL Access with a faster optimizer,
Speaker 1: smarter DFS projections, and better results into promo code action
Speaker 1: for its end percent discount. That's promo code action for
Speaker 1: its head percent discount. Taylor Roder dot com, where millionaires
Speaker 1: are made, The FFS Rabbing Out Waiter Talks. Next, this
Speaker 1: is Tuesday edition of the show. We no only you
Speaker 1: got three questions three minutes, but instead I'm gonna give
Speaker 1: you one question that I want three answers for in
Speaker 1: these three minutes that we have left. So if no
Speaker 1: one guess, if no one Arnato gets trained, and that's
Speaker 1: assumed they don't mend their fences and whatnot, and I'll
Speaker 1: just do their thing. Who is this going to affect
Speaker 1: most from a fantasy baseball perspective in Colorado? Like obviously
Speaker 1: Trevor's story is the first round pick Charlie Blackman. I
Speaker 1: don't even know where he's going this year, but I
Speaker 1: haven't done any researcher. Charlie Blackman obviously a third fourth
Speaker 1: round pick, which seems like a good value if Aeronauto.
Speaker 1: There all, there's a research on him. But what does
Speaker 1: this affect the most in Colorado? So I'll give you
Speaker 1: two that it affects negatively, and I'll give you one
Speaker 1: that affects positively. Obviously this is Garrett Hanson and all
Speaker 1: over the no yea. So Trevor Story and Charlie Blackman
Speaker 1: undoubtedly would you know, be affected most negatively by Nolan Arronado. Actually,
Speaker 1: as of now, I know that you love roster resource,
Speaker 1: Greig Story leading off, Charlie Blackman batting clean up. Now,
Speaker 1: I know black Men isn't the player that he used
Speaker 1: to be, but I still imagine that Charlie Blackman is
Speaker 1: gonna lead off for this team, and Trevor Story is
Speaker 1: gonna hit in the middle of the lineup if there's
Speaker 1: no one in Arronado. Charlie Blackman consistently over one runs
Speaker 1: scored every single year. He's still going to be a
Speaker 1: good run scorer, but maybe not as elite as he
Speaker 1: has been in years past. Saronado is not the black
Speaker 1: thing is crazy. It's like, all right, black is on
Speaker 1: a first round pick anymore. He's not a second und
Speaker 1: pick anymore. He's a run like in RhoD of leaves
Speaker 1: where runs are like Honda gononere hundred runs every year.
Speaker 1: It's thirty runs every year. The averages around three hundred
Speaker 1: every year. This is good. He's just he's really frustrating
Speaker 1: to own in the head to head league, Like, if
Speaker 1: you need consistency, I wouldn't own him in that format.
Speaker 1: You could take him in ronto, that's perfectly fine. But
Speaker 1: even like in his home road splits are even more drastic.
Speaker 1: So it's so annoying because even throughout the season, like
Speaker 1: you almost don't want to play black Man when he's
Speaker 1: on the road ever, and that's like your third round pick.
Speaker 1: It's kind of frustrating. Probably not, we'll deep dive, we'll
Speaker 1: talk about it, Craig. But Trevor story. Obviously, you know,
Speaker 1: if he's batting in the middle of that line up,
Speaker 1: there's no erronado, not as uh, not as many RBI opportunities,
Speaker 1: not as many opportunities to drive batters in. And then
Speaker 1: the person that would affect positively the most is Garrett Hampson,
Speaker 1: who you know, then they could put Ryan mcman over
Speaker 1: at third base, and they could put Garrett Hampson at second.
Speaker 1: He could play every single day. People still think that
Speaker 1: he has that bat, he could steal some bases. He
Speaker 1: has some upside from a fantasy baseball perspective. All right,
Speaker 1: tomorrow is Nion Williams's back. We'll tell you about it.
Speaker 1: Wager walks up next for Frank. I'm Greg. We'll do
Speaker 1: it all go tomorrow. We hope m
