<v Speaker 1>No one told me there was a was the thing.

0:01:21.800 --> 0:01:24.000
<v Speaker 1>I can't even imagine you wearing a hat. How if

0:01:24.080 --> 0:01:25.600
<v Speaker 1>you if you were to wear a hat, I would

0:01:25.640 --> 0:01:28.120
<v Speaker 1>choose a bucket hat. I feel like you would look

0:01:28.120 --> 0:01:29.880
<v Speaker 1>great in a bucket hat. I have. I have normal

0:01:29.959 --> 0:01:32.560
<v Speaker 1>hats no, you don't. I have many of them. If

0:01:32.600 --> 0:01:35.080
<v Speaker 1>I if I've never seen one, it doesn't count. Sorry,

0:01:35.280 --> 0:01:37.399
<v Speaker 1>I don't, I don't, don't. We've got the games together.

0:01:37.400 --> 0:01:40.000
<v Speaker 1>You've never worn a hat, really, because no's are shave

0:01:40.040 --> 0:01:42.800
<v Speaker 1>from work. That's why in your bag, I don't know,

0:01:43.360 --> 0:01:46.240
<v Speaker 1>wear it afterwards. You're not a big hat gay I am.

0:01:46.360 --> 0:01:48.920
<v Speaker 1>Sometimes you're gonna keep that luscious head of hair for

0:01:49.000 --> 0:01:52.120
<v Speaker 1>a long time. It's the man that's the goal. Mikey.

0:01:52.160 --> 0:01:54.920
<v Speaker 1>How did you sleep, Bud? I slept good. And the

0:01:55.000 --> 0:01:57.120
<v Speaker 1>only hat I know that Greggy has is he used

0:01:57.120 --> 0:01:59.760
<v Speaker 1>to have a big, poofy winter hat. That's the only

0:01:59.800 --> 0:02:03.320
<v Speaker 1>hat I've ever seen him where. I'm sure it's different

0:02:04.120 --> 0:02:05.440
<v Speaker 1>I have now, but I do have a movie wind

0:02:05.560 --> 0:02:07.320
<v Speaker 1>hat like you. What's going on on that hat? What's

0:02:07.320 --> 0:02:10.760
<v Speaker 1>the yng yang? It's a it's a mac Miller had. Actually,

0:02:10.800 --> 0:02:14.200
<v Speaker 1>it's the swimming that's pretty dope. Get me one. Thank

0:02:14.240 --> 0:02:18.560
<v Speaker 1>you there online, Come on. My birthday is coming soon November.

0:02:19.280 --> 0:02:25.200
<v Speaker 1>My birthdays first love, mine's already past as every birthday, Greggy,

0:02:25.480 --> 0:02:29.400
<v Speaker 1>thanks man, appreciate it. Uh Floria, how is your week

0:02:29.520 --> 0:02:31.760
<v Speaker 1>last week with your friends that you dished us for

0:02:32.880 --> 0:02:35.239
<v Speaker 1>it was a lot of fun. Friday, when I, you know,

0:02:35.400 --> 0:02:37.040
<v Speaker 1>couldn't make it on the show, I went and played

0:02:37.080 --> 0:02:39.639
<v Speaker 1>basketball for the first time in Venice Beach. That was

0:02:39.919 --> 0:02:43.760
<v Speaker 1>a really cool experience. And then day drinking Saturday and Sunday,

0:02:43.800 --> 0:02:46.480
<v Speaker 1>and for the first time ever in my life, I

0:02:46.600 --> 0:02:48.840
<v Speaker 1>was at a bar and I was like, yeah, I

0:02:48.880 --> 0:02:50.480
<v Speaker 1>don't know if I want to really be here today,

0:02:50.600 --> 0:02:55.239
<v Speaker 1>Like I I think I'm getting old. Unfortunately, Well Greg's

0:02:55.280 --> 0:02:57.760
<v Speaker 1>been there for about ten years now, Mike, so you're

0:02:57.760 --> 0:03:00.359
<v Speaker 1>not alone. You're joining the old crew. I don't know

0:03:00.400 --> 0:03:02.440
<v Speaker 1>what could be more important than hanging out with your

0:03:02.600 --> 0:03:04.720
<v Speaker 1>best friends. No idea, right Greg? I mean I thought

0:03:04.720 --> 0:03:07.160
<v Speaker 1>we were his best friends. Were his other friends, not

0:03:07.360 --> 0:03:11.320
<v Speaker 1>living in the world, like I see you guys every Friday. Yeah,

0:03:11.720 --> 0:03:17.040
<v Speaker 1>so someone argued that you should see us more. By

0:03:17.120 --> 0:03:20.799
<v Speaker 1>the way, I meant to tell you the second you

0:03:20.880 --> 0:03:23.400
<v Speaker 1>got it. You walked in this morning, but I was

0:03:24.520 --> 0:03:29.040
<v Speaker 1>not in the room. So there was like one comment,

0:03:29.080 --> 0:03:30.160
<v Speaker 1>I don't even think you can see it. I don't

0:03:30.160 --> 0:03:32.200
<v Speaker 1>know if it's public yet. There was one comment on

0:03:32.320 --> 0:03:34.120
<v Speaker 1>our show of him yesterday. Did you see it? Yes?

0:03:34.160 --> 0:03:37.000
<v Speaker 1>I did, and I said, that's Floria, Okay, I wanted

0:03:37.000 --> 0:03:38.880
<v Speaker 1>to want why did you clude me in that group?

0:03:39.880 --> 0:03:41.560
<v Speaker 1>Just like? This is hilarious. I didn't know if you're

0:03:41.600 --> 0:03:43.680
<v Speaker 1>mad about it or why didn't You're not mad about it?

0:03:44.200 --> 0:03:45.840
<v Speaker 1>It's just funny. Do you not know me? If you

0:03:45.880 --> 0:03:47.440
<v Speaker 1>think I'm mad about I was like, Wow, I actually

0:03:47.480 --> 0:03:51.440
<v Speaker 1>have people that defend me. That's great, dude. It was hysterical.

0:03:51.640 --> 0:03:55.040
<v Speaker 1>It was. It was absolutely hysterical. I did crack up.

0:03:55.400 --> 0:03:58.400
<v Speaker 1>Did you crack up? Yes? I did. Frank can attest

0:03:58.440 --> 0:04:00.440
<v Speaker 1>to that I was. I was cracking. Did send me

0:04:00.520 --> 0:04:03.400
<v Speaker 1>the l M F A O text that that I

0:04:03.520 --> 0:04:05.440
<v Speaker 1>woke up to that text? The text? I don't like that.

0:04:05.520 --> 0:04:08.680
<v Speaker 1>I wasn't in that in the message. I don't like that.

0:04:08.720 --> 0:04:10.560
<v Speaker 1>I don't know how you felt about it. Well, we

0:04:10.640 --> 0:04:12.760
<v Speaker 1>were actually all laughing about it downstairs, but you had

0:04:12.800 --> 0:04:14.600
<v Speaker 1>your head headphones on, and I assumed you were listening

0:04:14.640 --> 0:04:15.920
<v Speaker 1>to like top forty hits. So I don't want to

0:04:17.040 --> 0:04:20.080
<v Speaker 1>I can already guess what it was Florida, exactly what

0:04:20.120 --> 0:04:22.240
<v Speaker 1>I was listening to. Justin Bieber and ed Shear didn't

0:04:22.240 --> 0:04:26.120
<v Speaker 1>have a new song, right, I don't care, And that's

0:04:26.160 --> 0:04:28.640
<v Speaker 1>exactly how I feel about that song. Greg, you even here. Yeah,

0:04:28.720 --> 0:04:30.640
<v Speaker 1>you don't care. You haven't heard it. I bet you

0:04:30.720 --> 0:04:32.640
<v Speaker 1>it's I bet you it's good. Yeah, of course it's good.

0:04:32.680 --> 0:04:36.120
<v Speaker 1>It's awesome. I'm a beeper guy, I'm not a shame

0:04:36.200 --> 0:04:39.120
<v Speaker 1>beeper that is. Of course it was on top of

0:04:39.200 --> 0:04:41.920
<v Speaker 1>new Music Friday, Florida knows what he's doing new music.

0:04:42.120 --> 0:04:43.640
<v Speaker 1>I didn't listen to it yet, but I saw it

0:04:43.720 --> 0:04:47.480
<v Speaker 1>came out. Of course, it's everywhere you know new music Friday,

0:04:48.040 --> 0:04:51.880
<v Speaker 1>basically Spotify. He was like, like, monstrous playlists of all

0:04:52.040 --> 0:04:54.280
<v Speaker 1>the new music that's come out. I guess they want

0:04:54.320 --> 0:04:57.200
<v Speaker 1>to provide to anything else good besides the beaves and Yeah.

0:04:57.600 --> 0:04:59.120
<v Speaker 1>So I was listening on my way to work today

0:04:59.480 --> 0:05:02.680
<v Speaker 1>there is a brand new Blake when song on there. No,

0:05:02.800 --> 0:05:05.160
<v Speaker 1>it's pretty good. That's a little blast from the bad,

0:05:05.520 --> 0:05:07.720
<v Speaker 1>right And I heard that was this really sounds like

0:05:07.720 --> 0:05:09.120
<v Speaker 1>Blake when the eight two, So my pocket, I was like,

0:05:09.240 --> 0:05:11.680
<v Speaker 1>who's singing this? And oh my god? It is is

0:05:11.720 --> 0:05:16.360
<v Speaker 1>like one of those guys. They're going on tour with

0:05:16.480 --> 0:05:20.000
<v Speaker 1>Lil Wayne whose they are like, I want to go.

0:05:20.400 --> 0:05:23.400
<v Speaker 1>It's a nice little duel, right there, Lie Wayne and

0:05:23.440 --> 0:05:26.280
<v Speaker 1>Blank Wine eighty two? Greg, you're going no, no, you're

0:05:26.320 --> 0:05:31.120
<v Speaker 1>not going you know, no, I'm not going video Greggy,

0:05:31.160 --> 0:05:32.800
<v Speaker 1>you would like it. It's and Frank you wore too.

0:05:32.839 --> 0:05:34.560
<v Speaker 1>I think it's a mash up. But what's my Name again?

0:05:34.640 --> 0:05:38.320
<v Speaker 1>And a Millie by Lil Wayne. It's that sounds pretty cool.

0:05:38.400 --> 0:05:41.240
<v Speaker 1>I like when they do the rock rap mashups. I

0:05:41.320 --> 0:05:42.640
<v Speaker 1>was a big fan of when they did all like

0:05:42.720 --> 0:05:44.839
<v Speaker 1>the Lincoln Park and jay Z stuff. That was really cool.

0:05:45.279 --> 0:05:50.520
<v Speaker 1>Also a big pun made a remix of one of

0:05:50.600 --> 0:05:54.240
<v Speaker 1>his songs with Incubus. I like what they I like

0:05:54.279 --> 0:05:56.520
<v Speaker 1>when they do that. I like when the big punt together.

0:05:56.600 --> 0:05:58.160
<v Speaker 1>That sounds cool. And no, it was back to me

0:05:58.240 --> 0:06:01.840
<v Speaker 1>like obviously Aerosmith and Rundum see of course, but like

0:06:03.200 --> 0:06:05.080
<v Speaker 1>when jay Z Lincoing parked to that album and that

0:06:05.160 --> 0:06:09.120
<v Speaker 1>was awesome. It was it was really cool. Alright, enough

0:06:09.400 --> 0:06:12.640
<v Speaker 1>enough music talk for it today. Um let's get into

0:06:13.040 --> 0:06:16.000
<v Speaker 1>Weaver Wire Friday's new music Friday, and it's Waiver Wire

0:06:16.080 --> 0:06:20.200
<v Speaker 1>Friday here on the Fantasy Best Friends Forever, and I

0:06:20.279 --> 0:06:22.440
<v Speaker 1>actually want to start with what we were just talking

0:06:22.440 --> 0:06:24.640
<v Speaker 1>about Frank before we came on the air, and it

0:06:24.760 --> 0:06:26.840
<v Speaker 1>was actually a player to drop. We're talking about a

0:06:26.839 --> 0:06:28.880
<v Speaker 1>lot of fleet pieces to add, But I want to

0:06:28.920 --> 0:06:30.160
<v Speaker 1>start with the player to drop. And it was a

0:06:30.200 --> 0:06:32.200
<v Speaker 1>guy that three of us are very very highland last year,

0:06:32.400 --> 0:06:34.000
<v Speaker 1>not as we start this year. But I certainly invested

0:06:34.040 --> 0:06:37.400
<v Speaker 1>in him. Um, and that's Travis Shaw. The Brewers are

0:06:37.400 --> 0:06:41.359
<v Speaker 1>facing three lefties this weekend in Chicago or against Chicago,

0:06:42.000 --> 0:06:44.640
<v Speaker 1>and because of that, crect Council said, hey, we're giving

0:06:44.680 --> 0:06:48.840
<v Speaker 1>Travis Shaw a mental rest for three days. It's now

0:06:48.960 --> 0:06:51.360
<v Speaker 1>made ten Shaw's batting average, I believe is still under

0:06:51.440 --> 0:06:56.120
<v Speaker 1>two hundred. Mike Floria, can we drop Travis Shaw? Much

0:06:56.240 --> 0:06:59.160
<v Speaker 1>like I said with Hazy Saguilar, I'm going to give

0:06:59.240 --> 0:07:01.440
<v Speaker 1>him another week. I want to see this mental health

0:07:02.240 --> 0:07:04.480
<v Speaker 1>rest for him and Travis Shaw. I've read a quote

0:07:04.520 --> 0:07:07.040
<v Speaker 1>today actually just before I came on that he said

0:07:07.080 --> 0:07:09.840
<v Speaker 1>there is anxiety in his performance right now, like because

0:07:09.880 --> 0:07:11.679
<v Speaker 1>he got off to the bad start and he obviously

0:07:11.840 --> 0:07:14.000
<v Speaker 1>is trying to fix it. So he said he's feeling

0:07:14.000 --> 0:07:16.640
<v Speaker 1>a lot of anxiety. I think this three day rest,

0:07:16.720 --> 0:07:18.840
<v Speaker 1>you know, just to clear his head. I think it

0:07:18.920 --> 0:07:21.840
<v Speaker 1>can do him some good. So I'm not I own

0:07:21.960 --> 0:07:24.360
<v Speaker 1>him in a few leagues. I haven't dropped him anywhere yet.

0:07:24.400 --> 0:07:26.480
<v Speaker 1>If we see him get this rest and he comes

0:07:26.600 --> 0:07:29.280
<v Speaker 1>back in the next week he's still really really struggling,

0:07:29.360 --> 0:07:31.120
<v Speaker 1>and then you know, if we're starting to see him

0:07:31.120 --> 0:07:33.480
<v Speaker 1>lose some playing time against lefties, then I will do it.

0:07:33.560 --> 0:07:35.760
<v Speaker 1>But if this is just strictly, hey, let's give this

0:07:35.840 --> 0:07:37.800
<v Speaker 1>guy three days. We need him out there every day,

0:07:38.320 --> 0:07:40.120
<v Speaker 1>I'm not going to drop him just yet because I

0:07:40.200 --> 0:07:43.200
<v Speaker 1>know the potential he has and I know I just

0:07:43.320 --> 0:07:45.840
<v Speaker 1>want exposure to that Brewer's lineup. But again, if you

0:07:45.880 --> 0:07:47.600
<v Speaker 1>want to put him on the bench, I'm totally totally

0:07:47.640 --> 0:07:50.240
<v Speaker 1>okay with that. And if you after this week or so,

0:07:50.360 --> 0:07:51.760
<v Speaker 1>if you're getting tired of him and you want to

0:07:51.840 --> 0:07:54.120
<v Speaker 1>drop him, I say you can. In ten team leagues,

0:07:54.120 --> 0:07:55.800
<v Speaker 1>I think you can. But and you know, like the

0:07:55.880 --> 0:07:58.640
<v Speaker 1>deeper twelve or fifteen leagues, I'm gonna hold out for now.

0:07:59.240 --> 0:08:01.640
<v Speaker 1>I'm actually closer Florio on this one and then where

0:08:01.680 --> 0:08:05.080
<v Speaker 1>we were at on Hazel, just because back to back

0:08:05.120 --> 0:08:06.880
<v Speaker 1>seasons of thirty home runs has a little bit more

0:08:06.920 --> 0:08:10.200
<v Speaker 1>of a track record than Hazos Aglar did Um. He's

0:08:10.200 --> 0:08:12.320
<v Speaker 1>struggling mightily right now. There's no way around a thirty

0:08:12.360 --> 0:08:14.640
<v Speaker 1>one percent strikeout rate that's much higher than anything he's

0:08:14.680 --> 0:08:18.040
<v Speaker 1>done each of the past two seasons against lefties. This year, Greg,

0:08:18.120 --> 0:08:20.240
<v Speaker 1>he is three for thirty one. That is a oh

0:08:20.400 --> 0:08:23.760
<v Speaker 1>nineties seven batting average. He's never been great against lefties,

0:08:23.800 --> 0:08:26.800
<v Speaker 1>but he's never been this bad either, So, especially in

0:08:26.880 --> 0:08:29.560
<v Speaker 1>that ballpark, in that lineup, I do agree with Florio,

0:08:29.680 --> 0:08:32.400
<v Speaker 1>Especially twelve team leagues are deeper. You can get him

0:08:32.400 --> 0:08:34.199
<v Speaker 1>out of your lineup. But the fact that he has

0:08:34.520 --> 0:08:37.959
<v Speaker 1>second third base eligibility and still does have, you know,

0:08:38.120 --> 0:08:40.959
<v Speaker 1>serious power upside in that lineup, in that ballpark, I

0:08:41.000 --> 0:08:43.040
<v Speaker 1>would want to hold on to him as well. Okay,

0:08:43.200 --> 0:08:47.800
<v Speaker 1>holding onto Travis Shaw, and that will include holding on

0:08:47.880 --> 0:08:49.040
<v Speaker 1>to him over some of the names we're about to

0:08:49.040 --> 0:08:51.920
<v Speaker 1>talk about, which I guess we'll begin when the Yels.

0:08:52.240 --> 0:08:54.160
<v Speaker 1>We'll be getting when the YELSA know, only because he's

0:08:54.160 --> 0:08:57.120
<v Speaker 1>a third basement as well. So no coming back already

0:08:57.200 --> 0:08:59.480
<v Speaker 1>on the rehab assignment for Minnesota, and it looks like

0:08:59.520 --> 0:09:02.439
<v Speaker 1>he's returned, he's imminent, So no in YAHOO league's his

0:09:02.520 --> 0:09:06.200
<v Speaker 1>own in just twenty six percent of leagues he's gotten

0:09:06.200 --> 0:09:08.560
<v Speaker 1>out there nice starting to rehab. If he's out there, Frank,

0:09:08.559 --> 0:09:11.120
<v Speaker 1>you wouldn't drop Travish off for him. I wouldn't. I

0:09:11.200 --> 0:09:15.000
<v Speaker 1>think they're pretty similar players. I've always been a Miguelson

0:09:15.040 --> 0:09:17.480
<v Speaker 1>No guy. I think the power is legit, but at

0:09:17.520 --> 0:09:19.280
<v Speaker 1>this point in his career, he's never been able to

0:09:19.280 --> 0:09:21.280
<v Speaker 1>stay healthy. It's always something. I mean, he heard his

0:09:21.400 --> 0:09:24.440
<v Speaker 1>heel like celebrating a win in the Dominican League. Like there,

0:09:24.480 --> 0:09:26.920
<v Speaker 1>there's always something going on with Miguelson No. So kind

0:09:26.960 --> 0:09:29.320
<v Speaker 1>of a headcase similar to Travis Shaw. He's gonna give

0:09:29.320 --> 0:09:30.679
<v Speaker 1>you a lot of pop, he's gonna strike out a

0:09:30.720 --> 0:09:33.240
<v Speaker 1>lot as well. So I'm again, I'm gonna go with

0:09:33.280 --> 0:09:35.079
<v Speaker 1>the guy who has the better track record in the

0:09:35.160 --> 0:09:38.600
<v Speaker 1>better ballpark, arguably better lineup. I think the Brewers line

0:09:38.679 --> 0:09:39.840
<v Speaker 1>up is a little bit better than the Twins as

0:09:39.920 --> 0:09:41.160
<v Speaker 1>much as I like the Twins line up, So I

0:09:41.200 --> 0:09:44.240
<v Speaker 1>think they're similar players, except that Miguelson No Does have

0:09:44.240 --> 0:09:46.360
<v Speaker 1>a little bit more risk involved with him. I do

0:09:46.600 --> 0:09:48.240
<v Speaker 1>like him. I would like to stash him right now,

0:09:48.559 --> 0:09:51.640
<v Speaker 1>more so in head to head categories leagues or rhoto

0:09:51.720 --> 0:09:53.520
<v Speaker 1>leagues because the strikeouts are gonna hurt you a lot

0:09:53.640 --> 0:09:56.199
<v Speaker 1>in points leagues. But again, I love the Twins lineup

0:09:56.200 --> 0:09:59.280
<v Speaker 1>and it seems like he'll probably slot in somewhere middle

0:09:59.360 --> 0:10:01.640
<v Speaker 1>to back end of that lineup, but should have some

0:10:01.679 --> 0:10:04.440
<v Speaker 1>pretty serious RBI opportunities. I like him, just not more

0:10:04.480 --> 0:10:08.800
<v Speaker 1>than Travis Shaw Florida. Now I agree with Frank there Um.

0:10:09.200 --> 0:10:11.040
<v Speaker 1>I think the Brewers line I like the Twins line

0:10:11.080 --> 0:10:12.559
<v Speaker 1>up as well, but I think the Brewers lineup is

0:10:12.600 --> 0:10:15.040
<v Speaker 1>one of the best in baseball. And I think Travis Shaw,

0:10:15.600 --> 0:10:17.560
<v Speaker 1>if he can get his head right, he's not gonna

0:10:17.600 --> 0:10:19.679
<v Speaker 1>like right now we're sending striking out at an abysmal rate.

0:10:21.240 --> 0:10:23.600
<v Speaker 1>Mcguelson know is never in a major league season struck

0:10:23.640 --> 0:10:25.520
<v Speaker 1>out less than thirty five percent at the time, So

0:10:26.000 --> 0:10:28.079
<v Speaker 1>to me, he is a very peaks and valley hitter.

0:10:28.160 --> 0:10:30.079
<v Speaker 1>I would like to add him, but I'm not dropping

0:10:30.120 --> 0:10:33.000
<v Speaker 1>Travis Shaw for him. Plus, I do have some concerns

0:10:33.080 --> 0:10:35.559
<v Speaker 1>like the Twins line up starting to get healthy and

0:10:35.640 --> 0:10:38.320
<v Speaker 1>they have a lot of options there so especially at

0:10:38.320 --> 0:10:41.040
<v Speaker 1>the corner in field positions. So just a tad of

0:10:41.120 --> 0:10:43.679
<v Speaker 1>an added concern there for Son. So that's why I

0:10:43.720 --> 0:10:46.920
<v Speaker 1>would lead to lean on Travis Shaw. That's a good point,

0:10:46.960 --> 0:10:49.560
<v Speaker 1>but like, where how is mcguilsono gonna play every day? Greg?

0:10:50.120 --> 0:10:52.199
<v Speaker 1>That's the question rate. So I actually was reading me

0:10:52.280 --> 0:10:54.120
<v Speaker 1>and occupied the d spot to have Nelson crew. So

0:10:54.160 --> 0:10:58.280
<v Speaker 1>I was reading the Athletic article where uh, all the

0:10:58.360 --> 0:10:59.880
<v Speaker 1>group in the Athletic the interview the beat reporters and

0:10:59.880 --> 0:11:01.679
<v Speaker 1>at some questions. So they just did one and they

0:11:01.679 --> 0:11:03.839
<v Speaker 1>asked about me elsa know coming back and where he's

0:11:03.840 --> 0:11:05.719
<v Speaker 1>going to play. Where the deal is and according to

0:11:05.800 --> 0:11:08.400
<v Speaker 1>rock Obell delhi More, Gazalez is actually gonna play the

0:11:08.880 --> 0:11:11.000
<v Speaker 1>Maren Gonzalez role, the role that DJ maybe he was

0:11:11.040 --> 0:11:12.880
<v Speaker 1>supposed to have for the Yankees. Everyone's healthy, Like just

0:11:12.960 --> 0:11:15.400
<v Speaker 1>give everyone, give a different guy a day every day.

0:11:15.480 --> 0:11:18.280
<v Speaker 1>He's an everyday player, that's a utility player, right. There

0:11:18.320 --> 0:11:24.920
<v Speaker 1>was that like givething Scope a day off, the crone,

0:11:25.000 --> 0:11:27.600
<v Speaker 1>the guys in the corner outfield, right, like he's gonna

0:11:27.679 --> 0:11:29.360
<v Speaker 1>play four to five times a week, but in a

0:11:29.400 --> 0:11:31.079
<v Speaker 1>different spot every day. So but he also know is

0:11:31.120 --> 0:11:32.920
<v Speaker 1>going to be the every day third batment I think

0:11:33.080 --> 0:11:38.240
<v Speaker 1>for this team also that he is. And there also

0:11:38.400 --> 0:11:40.439
<v Speaker 1>is Mitch Garber, who I know they used their like

0:11:40.720 --> 0:11:42.760
<v Speaker 1>at the corner infield at times. And then there's when

0:11:42.800 --> 0:11:47.280
<v Speaker 1>he comes back Williams Alstadillo who they were playing at catcher, first, third,

0:11:47.360 --> 0:11:49.600
<v Speaker 1>and corner outfields when he was healthy, and I don't

0:11:49.600 --> 0:11:51.480
<v Speaker 1>I understand why they want him in the lineup. He's

0:11:51.520 --> 0:11:54.120
<v Speaker 1>a he's a bat on ball machine. He's a great eye.

0:11:54.240 --> 0:11:56.720
<v Speaker 1>So like, I understand why they want to get him

0:11:56.720 --> 0:11:58.319
<v Speaker 1>in the lineup as well. There's there's a lot of

0:11:58.400 --> 0:12:01.640
<v Speaker 1>talent on the Twins right now, and then Williams audio

0:12:01.720 --> 0:12:03.840
<v Speaker 1>is a good way to counteract Miguel to Know because

0:12:03.880 --> 0:12:05.840
<v Speaker 1>again Miguel to Know guy who swings and misses a lot.

0:12:06.160 --> 0:12:08.360
<v Speaker 1>But I said, for power Williams a studio. If you've

0:12:08.360 --> 0:12:10.000
<v Speaker 1>seen this guy, he doesn't swing and miss at all.

0:12:10.080 --> 0:12:11.959
<v Speaker 1>He doesn't strike out, he doesn't walk either, but he

0:12:12.040 --> 0:12:14.720
<v Speaker 1>does have the good bat on ball skills. Someone who

0:12:14.800 --> 0:12:17.160
<v Speaker 1>I know loved Williams a stwdo. We actually had him

0:12:17.160 --> 0:12:19.920
<v Speaker 1>live in studio earlier this season was Joe with a

0:12:20.000 --> 0:12:21.760
<v Speaker 1>mustache Mike, and I know you went out with Joe

0:12:21.920 --> 0:12:24.719
<v Speaker 1>last night to the Dodger game. How was that? It

0:12:24.840 --> 0:12:26.960
<v Speaker 1>was a lot of fun. He actually brought up that debate.

0:12:27.080 --> 0:12:29.320
<v Speaker 1>He was like, he asked me what I thought on Arstadillo.

0:12:29.400 --> 0:12:31.040
<v Speaker 1>I was like, I like him, and he was like, yeah,

0:12:31.080 --> 0:12:34.079
<v Speaker 1>I had a huge debate on the BFS and and

0:12:34.240 --> 0:12:36.599
<v Speaker 1>I don't know what the debate was exactly, but I

0:12:36.720 --> 0:12:39.079
<v Speaker 1>do like Ostadillo. But going to the Dodger game with

0:12:39.200 --> 0:12:41.160
<v Speaker 1>Joe was a lot of fun. He had seats like

0:12:41.280 --> 0:12:43.000
<v Speaker 1>bar seats, and they let me sit with them. So

0:12:43.080 --> 0:12:45.679
<v Speaker 1>we were in the first deck watching, you know, rich

0:12:45.760 --> 0:12:48.280
<v Speaker 1>Hill unfortunately not have that good first ending. But it

0:12:48.360 --> 0:12:51.199
<v Speaker 1>was a fun time. Oh. I mean yeah, anytime that

0:12:51.440 --> 0:12:53.960
<v Speaker 1>rich Hill pitches Mike and you get to watch him, um,

0:12:54.720 --> 0:12:57.959
<v Speaker 1>you know, not necessarily do what you expected it. This

0:12:58.080 --> 0:13:01.719
<v Speaker 1>isn't your typical quality over quantity start for rich Hill Mike. No,

0:13:01.920 --> 0:13:03.839
<v Speaker 1>but it also was a three run homer in the

0:13:03.880 --> 0:13:06.319
<v Speaker 1>first thing, and then after that he settled in and pitched. Okay,

0:13:06.600 --> 0:13:10.560
<v Speaker 1>my my boy, Haddie Corbyn on the other side, he's

0:13:10.600 --> 0:13:12.840
<v Speaker 1>definitely not your boy. I was gonna say, I thought

0:13:12.880 --> 0:13:15.199
<v Speaker 1>you were totally out. He was so out. I have

0:13:15.360 --> 0:13:17.120
<v Speaker 1>one share of him in one of our home leagues,

0:13:17.120 --> 0:13:18.520
<v Speaker 1>so I was rooting for him. And because of that,

0:13:18.840 --> 0:13:21.679
<v Speaker 1>last night he was my boy. Gregg as unbelievable. You

0:13:21.760 --> 0:13:25.120
<v Speaker 1>were so out of magic on Patrick Corbon. He's still

0:13:25.160 --> 0:13:27.319
<v Speaker 1>walking more guys this year, but he was very good

0:13:27.400 --> 0:13:31.400
<v Speaker 1>last It's been really good. Last night. He was great

0:13:32.520 --> 0:13:34.760
<v Speaker 1>to me all right, next topic, Next topic. He's a

0:13:34.800 --> 0:13:36.600
<v Speaker 1>guy that even you know on all week we talked

0:13:36.640 --> 0:13:39.199
<v Speaker 1>about him a little bit. I guess it was yesterday

0:13:39.800 --> 0:13:41.920
<v Speaker 1>and that's Hunter Pence, and I know Frank's thoughts. I

0:13:41.960 --> 0:13:44.040
<v Speaker 1>gave my thoughts yesterday, Mike's let me go over to you,

0:13:44.480 --> 0:13:46.720
<v Speaker 1>Hunter Pence. Where is he in the must owned status

0:13:46.800 --> 0:13:48.679
<v Speaker 1>for you right now? Given that we do expect him

0:13:48.679 --> 0:13:51.760
<v Speaker 1>to become an everyday player in Texas. Yeah, I would

0:13:51.760 --> 0:13:53.880
<v Speaker 1>be looking to add Hunter Pence right now. I don't

0:13:53.920 --> 0:13:56.120
<v Speaker 1>think he's a guy that I'm going to pick up

0:13:56.160 --> 0:13:58.280
<v Speaker 1>and expect to own the rest of the season. But

0:13:58.440 --> 0:14:00.200
<v Speaker 1>he's hot right now and he's going to be given

0:14:00.240 --> 0:14:02.920
<v Speaker 1>the chance. And I think that's something that some fantasy

0:14:03.000 --> 0:14:05.520
<v Speaker 1>owners make a mistake about, like, oh, if this guy

0:14:05.720 --> 0:14:07.400
<v Speaker 1>I don't like, he's going to be this good old season,

0:14:07.480 --> 0:14:09.320
<v Speaker 1>so why pick him up? And we used to talk

0:14:09.320 --> 0:14:10.880
<v Speaker 1>about this all the time on the show, like I

0:14:10.960 --> 0:14:12.640
<v Speaker 1>don't care about that. If he could give me two

0:14:12.720 --> 0:14:15.640
<v Speaker 1>hot weeks before he starts cooling off, that's you know,

0:14:16.080 --> 0:14:18.520
<v Speaker 1>production that I'm gonna get that count all year. So

0:14:18.720 --> 0:14:20.560
<v Speaker 1>I would be looking to add Hunter Pence right now.

0:14:20.840 --> 0:14:23.560
<v Speaker 1>With the expectation that sooner or later he's gonna come

0:14:23.600 --> 0:14:25.600
<v Speaker 1>back down to earth realize he's Hunter Pence, and I'm

0:14:25.600 --> 0:14:28.160
<v Speaker 1>gonna have to drop him. He's only fourteen percent owning

0:14:28.200 --> 0:14:30.440
<v Speaker 1>Yahoo right now, which makes sense. It seems not that

0:14:30.480 --> 0:14:33.320
<v Speaker 1>seems criminally low, man, it's not criminally love. Because he

0:14:33.520 --> 0:14:36.120
<v Speaker 1>just became an everyday player. I think it should be

0:14:36.160 --> 0:14:38.160
<v Speaker 1>higher than that. Just me, I feel like it should

0:14:38.160 --> 0:14:40.040
<v Speaker 1>be higher than that already. Oh, I don't agree, because

0:14:40.040 --> 0:14:41.880
<v Speaker 1>he just became an everyday player. So now we're telling

0:14:41.920 --> 0:14:44.280
<v Speaker 1>people go pick him up. People haven't had their waivers run.

0:14:44.320 --> 0:14:46.160
<v Speaker 1>Were talking about that for the past two days, though,

0:14:46.400 --> 0:14:50.600
<v Speaker 1>What about your waivers don't run until tomorrow tonight? True? Well,

0:14:50.640 --> 0:14:52.840
<v Speaker 1>I mean I I just imagine a lot of Yatto

0:14:52.920 --> 0:14:57.280
<v Speaker 1>leagues are just first come, first served. Yeah, so I

0:14:57.440 --> 0:14:59.520
<v Speaker 1>think it should feel like it should be higher. Honestly,

0:14:59.560 --> 0:15:01.720
<v Speaker 1>on sund Day night, I expect that. Now, like, let's

0:15:01.720 --> 0:15:05.840
<v Speaker 1>recheck you somebody. Yeah, it's probably gonna be Yeah, let's

0:15:05.880 --> 0:15:09.120
<v Speaker 1>let's chack you sometime on Monday. Hunter Pens completely read there. Now,

0:15:09.240 --> 0:15:10.520
<v Speaker 1>since there, Mike, he's not gonna be a guy that

0:15:10.600 --> 0:15:12.800
<v Speaker 1>you own all year longer. That's okay, but he's hot

0:15:12.880 --> 0:15:16.520
<v Speaker 1>right now, so you should play him. Question is, obviously,

0:15:17.640 --> 0:15:21.400
<v Speaker 1>do you dropped Travis sh Off for him? No, so

0:15:21.480 --> 0:15:23.840
<v Speaker 1>let me give me somebody else here do you drop?

0:15:26.040 --> 0:15:28.320
<v Speaker 1>There was one name on the on the drop list

0:15:28.400 --> 0:15:31.600
<v Speaker 1>that really surprised me. Which one is it? Think he was?

0:15:31.880 --> 0:15:33.400
<v Speaker 1>I think he was the first name. Well, I don't

0:15:33.400 --> 0:15:35.480
<v Speaker 1>want to do that because not doing not off to pictures,

0:15:35.720 --> 0:15:36.760
<v Speaker 1>so I don't I don't want to get up to that.

0:15:37.040 --> 0:15:41.440
<v Speaker 1>Would you drop Day Santana for his teammate Hunter Pence? Yeah,

0:15:41.480 --> 0:15:43.680
<v Speaker 1>I'm okay with that. Right now, Hunter Pences is playing

0:15:43.760 --> 0:15:45.240
<v Speaker 1>lights out ball. I know he hit his six home

0:15:45.320 --> 0:15:47.080
<v Speaker 1>run last night. I put it out on Twitter the

0:15:47.120 --> 0:15:49.760
<v Speaker 1>other day. I'll even admit I didn't realize how good

0:15:49.800 --> 0:15:51.720
<v Speaker 1>of a year Hunter Pence was having in that limited

0:15:51.840 --> 0:15:54.280
<v Speaker 1>role until I really looked into his numbers. And now

0:15:54.360 --> 0:15:56.120
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, all right, yeah, if he's getting this everyday

0:15:56.120 --> 0:15:59.400
<v Speaker 1>opportunity most fringing guys on my roster, I would be

0:15:59.440 --> 0:16:01.760
<v Speaker 1>okay drop upping, because those are the guys that you

0:16:01.800 --> 0:16:03.400
<v Speaker 1>pick up while they're hot, and then when they start

0:16:03.440 --> 0:16:06.040
<v Speaker 1>to cool off, you just ride the next hot wave. Mikey,

0:16:06.080 --> 0:16:08.880
<v Speaker 1>I'll throw another name your way. I know you own

0:16:08.960 --> 0:16:11.480
<v Speaker 1>him in a few places, but he's been pretty cold

0:16:11.520 --> 0:16:14.760
<v Speaker 1>over the last thirty days, one four batting average, Greg,

0:16:15.240 --> 0:16:17.920
<v Speaker 1>that's Dan Vogelo Yeah, he's really called off. Mikey, what

0:16:17.960 --> 0:16:20.080
<v Speaker 1>are you doing with Dan Vogeboki dropping which before you answer?

0:16:20.160 --> 0:16:21.960
<v Speaker 1>Floor out like we kind of knew he was gonna

0:16:21.960 --> 0:16:24.160
<v Speaker 1>cool off, like he was not going to bat three

0:16:24.280 --> 0:16:27.760
<v Speaker 1>fifty all year. I mean now right now, you just

0:16:27.840 --> 0:16:30.280
<v Speaker 1>gotta hope that it's not it's a slump rather than

0:16:30.440 --> 0:16:33.440
<v Speaker 1>him just you know, cooling off for good type of thing.

0:16:33.960 --> 0:16:36.680
<v Speaker 1>So exactly why I would I would still ride out

0:16:36.720 --> 0:16:39.000
<v Speaker 1>with vogel Box because I think the upside is higher.

0:16:39.080 --> 0:16:40.960
<v Speaker 1>I do think he is a player that I could

0:16:41.040 --> 0:16:42.760
<v Speaker 1>keep in my line up all year, where I don't

0:16:42.760 --> 0:16:45.160
<v Speaker 1>believe that for Pens. I could be wrong for Hunter Pence,

0:16:45.200 --> 0:16:47.360
<v Speaker 1>but after what we've seen the last few years out

0:16:47.400 --> 0:16:49.840
<v Speaker 1>of him at his age, I'm just more inclined to

0:16:49.920 --> 0:16:53.000
<v Speaker 1>take the shot on the upside of Dan vogel Bock

0:16:53.040 --> 0:16:55.000
<v Speaker 1>and only twenty six years old. And and I think

0:16:55.080 --> 0:16:57.280
<v Speaker 1>what the Mariners are doing right now is really interesting,

0:16:57.400 --> 0:16:59.280
<v Speaker 1>Like I have no idea why they were like, hey,

0:16:59.360 --> 0:17:01.600
<v Speaker 1>let's play and in Cronossio on its second base. But

0:17:01.760 --> 0:17:04.200
<v Speaker 1>I think it's because when they call it Malex Smith again,

0:17:04.440 --> 0:17:07.200
<v Speaker 1>they're trying to get Bruce, Volga, Buck and Edwin and

0:17:07.240 --> 0:17:10.639
<v Speaker 1>Carnascio in the lineup every day. Speaking of Malex Smith, Mike,

0:17:10.880 --> 0:17:12.320
<v Speaker 1>what do you think do you think he's called up

0:17:13.200 --> 0:17:19.920
<v Speaker 1>before May fifteen? That's in five days? No TI, come

0:17:19.960 --> 0:17:23.760
<v Speaker 1>on gonna say that he's crushing it right now. Six

0:17:23.760 --> 0:17:26.160
<v Speaker 1>stolen mazes in six games, Greg, because from Alex Smith,

0:17:26.280 --> 0:17:28.440
<v Speaker 1>we got a whole lot more players to add and

<v Speaker 1>on a Friday. Gud I just doing his bass. You're

0:20:16.880 --> 0:20:19.920
<v Speaker 1>running around. Yeah, yeah, I can't blame the guy. That's

0:20:19.920 --> 0:20:22.320
<v Speaker 1>a good job. Not really his fault. That's a good job.

0:20:22.560 --> 0:20:26.760
<v Speaker 1>It's a great job. That's a great job. Um, you're

0:20:32.720 --> 0:20:37.160
<v Speaker 1>usually chimes in for some Steelers talk. No Steelers talk today, Sorry, Alex,

0:20:37.240 --> 0:20:39.600
<v Speaker 1>no Steelers talk today at all. Let's just tell you

0:20:39.640 --> 0:20:41.200
<v Speaker 1>all with some of these players to add it was

0:20:41.240 --> 0:20:42.879
<v Speaker 1>another name they brought up yesterday. Then we'll kind of

0:20:42.920 --> 0:20:46.080
<v Speaker 1>moving on to some new guys and Mikey. That's David

0:20:46.160 --> 0:20:49.159
<v Speaker 1>Fletcher leading off from the Angels right now, playing every day.

0:20:49.200 --> 0:20:50.800
<v Speaker 1>He's been pretty good. We talked about him a couple

0:20:50.800 --> 0:20:52.840
<v Speaker 1>of weeks back and we kind of joked and laugh,

0:20:52.960 --> 0:20:57.120
<v Speaker 1>but David Fleger has been good. Yeah. I think Dave

0:20:57.240 --> 0:21:00.960
<v Speaker 1>Fletcher fits the mold of like the Hunter Penn's types,

0:21:01.000 --> 0:21:03.800
<v Speaker 1>where you pick them up right now and you see

0:21:03.880 --> 0:21:05.920
<v Speaker 1>if this last or not, and if not, then you

0:21:06.160 --> 0:21:08.080
<v Speaker 1>you drop him and you move on. Like I'm not saying,

0:21:08.520 --> 0:21:11.040
<v Speaker 1>David Fletcher is gonna hit over three and he's gonna

0:21:11.119 --> 0:21:13.119
<v Speaker 1>keep up like this pace that he's playing on right now.

0:21:13.400 --> 0:21:15.719
<v Speaker 1>But while he's playing well and leading off for the Angels, yes,

0:21:15.840 --> 0:21:19.280
<v Speaker 1>he he should be picked up. Yeah, I agree with

0:21:19.400 --> 0:21:22.840
<v Speaker 1>that and shout out to you know Sarah's I saw

0:21:22.880 --> 0:21:25.440
<v Speaker 1>you Know Sarah's tweeting last night and he does like

0:21:25.440 --> 0:21:28.399
<v Speaker 1>a little like box score breakdown of scrolls through and

0:21:28.440 --> 0:21:31.200
<v Speaker 1>sees things that that catch his eye. Greg, and he said,

0:21:31.240 --> 0:21:37.639
<v Speaker 1>Fletcher equals Jeep McNeil. Exactly what I'm saying. There's uh,

0:21:37.840 --> 0:21:39.639
<v Speaker 1>I have some credibility on my name, Greg, I got

0:21:39.720 --> 0:21:42.200
<v Speaker 1>something right. So that's exactly what I've been saying. I mean, look,

0:21:42.240 --> 0:21:45.439
<v Speaker 1>the bats of ball skills are great, Jeff. David Fletcher

0:21:45.560 --> 0:21:47.840
<v Speaker 1>has a four point one percent strikeout right. The guy

0:21:47.920 --> 0:21:49.840
<v Speaker 1>does not strike out at all and actually has a

0:21:49.960 --> 0:21:52.080
<v Speaker 1>thirty nine percent hard hit rate for a for a

0:21:52.119 --> 0:21:55.080
<v Speaker 1>smaller dude, that's pretty damn good. So considering he makes

0:21:55.080 --> 0:21:58.320
<v Speaker 1>as much contact as he does. Um, yeah, I'm interested,

0:21:58.400 --> 0:22:01.119
<v Speaker 1>and especially in uh who he has second, third and

0:22:01.200 --> 0:22:04.560
<v Speaker 1>outfield eligibility, So definitely helps you out more there if

0:22:04.600 --> 0:22:06.399
<v Speaker 1>you playing a daily line up league where we can

0:22:06.480 --> 0:22:08.159
<v Speaker 1>just kind of mix and match and get him in

0:22:08.160 --> 0:22:10.400
<v Speaker 1>your line up whenever he plays, and he's played five

0:22:10.440 --> 0:22:13.120
<v Speaker 1>games in a row for them in a row play

0:22:13.119 --> 0:22:15.080
<v Speaker 1>a lot right now? Is David Fletcher one of the

0:22:15.119 --> 0:22:17.800
<v Speaker 1>hotter hitters that are probably out there on your way

0:22:17.800 --> 0:22:22.080
<v Speaker 1>of wire? But Mike, who are you dropping for him? Right? Like?

0:22:22.480 --> 0:22:27.800
<v Speaker 1>Where's Liz go on players to drop for him? Yeah? Like,

0:22:27.880 --> 0:22:30.359
<v Speaker 1>there's no way I'm dropping Travis shaw for him. I

0:22:30.359 --> 0:22:33.320
<v Speaker 1>wouldn't drop Dan vogel back. He's in the same realm

0:22:33.400 --> 0:22:35.960
<v Speaker 1>as like Hunter Pence for me, like Danny Santanna's shirt,

0:22:36.080 --> 0:22:38.240
<v Speaker 1>like those fringey guys that you know you've been picking

0:22:38.320 --> 0:22:40.280
<v Speaker 1>up and taking flyers on. Yeah, those are the guys

0:22:40.320 --> 0:22:42.480
<v Speaker 1>that I would drop. I wouldn't drop like a shawl

0:22:42.560 --> 0:22:45.199
<v Speaker 1>or guy. But I think can be a season long

0:22:45.240 --> 0:22:48.480
<v Speaker 1>contributor to my fantasy team. Okay, so nobody's super significant

0:22:48.960 --> 0:22:54.679
<v Speaker 1>for David Fletcher here. Mike Florio, like Florial Frank mentioned,

0:22:55.960 --> 0:22:59.680
<v Speaker 1>you're right, Greig like a Spas moment there, and it

0:22:59.800 --> 0:23:02.920
<v Speaker 1>was natural too. It was just in one motion like Florio,

0:23:04.040 --> 0:23:06.800
<v Speaker 1>like Florio. Well, I was trying to get my words

0:23:06.840 --> 0:23:12.080
<v Speaker 1>all together here, would you like? Well? I was trying

0:23:12.119 --> 0:23:15.000
<v Speaker 1>to say, was you measured Malex Smith? Before? And Frank

0:23:15.040 --> 0:23:16.679
<v Speaker 1>and I had the argument like do you drop him?

0:23:16.680 --> 0:23:18.840
<v Speaker 1>Do you hold him? But two other guys got sent

0:23:18.960 --> 0:23:20.720
<v Speaker 1>down to the minors here this week in Nate Low

0:23:21.240 --> 0:23:24.679
<v Speaker 1>and Carter Key Boom, you're not a keeper league, are

0:23:24.720 --> 0:23:28.160
<v Speaker 1>you holding on him? Yeah? I would try my best

0:23:28.240 --> 0:23:30.399
<v Speaker 1>to hold onto those guys, especially if you were the

0:23:30.440 --> 0:23:33.200
<v Speaker 1>ones who spent you know, thirty of your fab I

0:23:33.240 --> 0:23:35.320
<v Speaker 1>think someone spent like four hundred bucks on Nate Low

0:23:35.440 --> 0:23:37.840
<v Speaker 1>and uh one of the great fantasy bass momentations, Like

0:23:37.880 --> 0:23:40.399
<v Speaker 1>if that was you, There's no way I'm dropping him

0:23:40.440 --> 0:23:43.080
<v Speaker 1>right now, especially Nate Low, who got it wasn't even

0:23:43.119 --> 0:23:45.359
<v Speaker 1>like he played bad and he barely even got a

0:23:45.440 --> 0:23:47.760
<v Speaker 1>cup of coffee. I I think we all dropped the

0:23:47.760 --> 0:23:50.200
<v Speaker 1>ball in Nate lot, not expecting that when Austin Meadows

0:23:50.280 --> 0:23:52.400
<v Speaker 1>came back, there just there was gonna be an odd

0:23:52.480 --> 0:23:54.359
<v Speaker 1>man out. And I don't think anyone really thought it

0:23:54.400 --> 0:23:56.520
<v Speaker 1>would be him, but I do expect Nate Low to

0:23:56.560 --> 0:23:59.240
<v Speaker 1>be back, you know, sometime this summer, and I expect

0:23:59.320 --> 0:24:02.119
<v Speaker 1>Key Boom to be back as well. Uh so I would.

0:24:02.240 --> 0:24:04.440
<v Speaker 1>I would try and hold my best to hold onto

0:24:04.480 --> 0:24:07.440
<v Speaker 1>these guys and put them on my bench. But I

0:24:07.560 --> 0:24:09.000
<v Speaker 1>get it, if you can and you have a bunch

0:24:09.040 --> 0:24:10.480
<v Speaker 1>of injuries and your thing, but that would be the

0:24:10.520 --> 0:24:12.159
<v Speaker 1>only way I'd want to drop them, at least this

0:24:12.240 --> 0:24:14.800
<v Speaker 1>early on. I'm pretty surprised that Nate Log got sent

0:24:14.880 --> 0:24:17.800
<v Speaker 1>down personally, UM, I think he's probably one of the

0:24:17.880 --> 0:24:20.520
<v Speaker 1>better hitters in the organization. Like they're opting to keep

0:24:20.880 --> 0:24:23.159
<v Speaker 1>g Man Choi on the roster over like that. To me,

0:24:23.359 --> 0:24:26.080
<v Speaker 1>that just doesn't make a lot of sense. And unlike

0:24:26.160 --> 0:24:28.520
<v Speaker 1>car Key Boom, it wasn't even warranted for Nate Low

0:24:28.640 --> 0:24:30.520
<v Speaker 1>to be sent down. He was performing well. He got

0:24:30.560 --> 0:24:33.320
<v Speaker 1>the batting average up to three hundred UM. It seemed

0:24:33.320 --> 0:24:35.120
<v Speaker 1>like he was performing all right. So it's just surprising

0:24:35.160 --> 0:24:37.080
<v Speaker 1>to me that they ought to keep a guy like

0:24:37.200 --> 0:24:40.520
<v Speaker 1>g man Choy on their roster instead of guy like

0:24:40.600 --> 0:24:42.680
<v Speaker 1>Nate Mike. I would. I would try and hold on

0:24:42.720 --> 0:24:45.159
<v Speaker 1>to both these guys. But I spent three fifty dollars

0:24:45.240 --> 0:24:47.439
<v Speaker 1>on car Key Boom in the great Fantasy based momentational

0:24:47.800 --> 0:24:51.040
<v Speaker 1>and in the main event, those are deeper leagues, fifteen teams,

0:24:51.040 --> 0:24:53.480
<v Speaker 1>you have seven bench spots. There's obviously no minors, no

0:24:53.640 --> 0:24:57.399
<v Speaker 1>injured list spots, um. But I can afford to kind

0:24:57.440 --> 0:24:59.200
<v Speaker 1>of stash those guys right now, so I'm gonna hold on.

0:24:59.240 --> 0:25:01.280
<v Speaker 1>But I think that's really different than your standard home

0:25:01.400 --> 0:25:06.040
<v Speaker 1>twelve team league in all honesty, because it's true, it's

0:25:06.080 --> 0:25:10.480
<v Speaker 1>not as deep team teams. Obviously, I had to. I

0:25:10.520 --> 0:25:14.440
<v Speaker 1>spent craps on home home league on Key Boom and

0:25:14.520 --> 0:25:16.920
<v Speaker 1>dropped him. I listen, mine is a little different. Is

0:25:17.000 --> 0:25:18.880
<v Speaker 1>first come, first serve, and I spent a significant portion

0:25:18.920 --> 0:25:21.520
<v Speaker 1>of my budget. I dropped him. What a I What

0:25:21.600 --> 0:25:23.760
<v Speaker 1>am I doing? Especially in the daily league, it's harder,

0:25:23.800 --> 0:25:27.360
<v Speaker 1>I understand, like you mean, roster spot. It's a little

0:25:27.359 --> 0:25:31.760
<v Speaker 1>bit easier in a weekly league where use your spots

0:25:31.800 --> 0:25:35.320
<v Speaker 1>to stash players. Absolutely understand. Look, everyone's got injuries too,

0:25:35.720 --> 0:25:39.320
<v Speaker 1>so it depends, like it depends where you're at. If

0:25:39.359 --> 0:25:41.280
<v Speaker 1>you have a lot of injuries, Greg, if you're falling behind,

0:25:41.320 --> 0:25:43.040
<v Speaker 1>if you're playing a head to head league, or you're

0:25:43.040 --> 0:25:44.760
<v Speaker 1>playing a roto league and you're starting to fold down

0:25:44.800 --> 0:25:47.280
<v Speaker 1>the standings and you need help. You might not have

0:25:47.359 --> 0:25:49.720
<v Speaker 1>a choice, but ultimately I would try my best to

0:25:49.720 --> 0:25:51.640
<v Speaker 1>hold onto these guys. I still do think that they're

0:25:51.640 --> 0:25:54.479
<v Speaker 1>really talented. Carter Keybom's got some stuff that you gotta

0:25:54.480 --> 0:25:56.200
<v Speaker 1>figure out. He's struck out a ton when he was here.

0:25:56.359 --> 0:25:59.680
<v Speaker 1>He didn't play well defensively either. Actually night, I have

0:25:59.720 --> 0:26:01.360
<v Speaker 1>a little bit more he did. He he got sent

0:26:01.440 --> 0:26:03.360
<v Speaker 1>down his first game back in the minors. He does

0:26:03.440 --> 0:26:05.520
<v Speaker 1>home run only hit of the game last night. But

0:26:05.720 --> 0:26:07.479
<v Speaker 1>I do have a little bit more concerns with him

0:26:07.560 --> 0:26:10.439
<v Speaker 1>over Nate Low's, just because if everyone's healthy, if Randon

0:26:10.640 --> 0:26:12.800
<v Speaker 1>is back and Trade turns back, where does he play?

0:26:13.119 --> 0:26:14.879
<v Speaker 1>They start working him in the outfield or something like that.

0:26:16.680 --> 0:26:18.359
<v Speaker 1>If he played as well, played as well as we

0:26:18.400 --> 0:26:20.240
<v Speaker 1>would have hoped, he would have found his way in

0:26:20.280 --> 0:26:22.720
<v Speaker 1>the lineup. Well, Matt Adams is hurt now too, and

0:26:22.840 --> 0:26:25.280
<v Speaker 1>Ryan Timmerman, so maybe they moved Dozer to first, or

0:26:25.320 --> 0:26:27.600
<v Speaker 1>put keybo met first, something like that, So we'll see

0:26:27.640 --> 0:26:30.200
<v Speaker 1>what happens. I think there's more of an opportunity for

0:26:30.320 --> 0:26:32.440
<v Speaker 1>a guy like Nate Low, just because I just don't

0:26:32.480 --> 0:26:35.040
<v Speaker 1>really trust g Manchoy long term. For that team, and

0:26:35.119 --> 0:26:37.920
<v Speaker 1>I have a question for you guys. So when it

0:26:38.000 --> 0:26:40.320
<v Speaker 1>comes to these prospects, I tried to write an article

0:26:40.400 --> 0:26:42.560
<v Speaker 1>this week on fan tracks like lessons we can learn

0:26:42.720 --> 0:26:46.320
<v Speaker 1>from this, and my takeaway was I said, you got

0:26:46.440 --> 0:26:48.800
<v Speaker 1>to ask three questions like what is this prospect ceiling?

0:26:48.960 --> 0:26:52.040
<v Speaker 1>And Keyboo and Low checked out right, we all knew

0:26:52.040 --> 0:26:54.600
<v Speaker 1>their ceiling was awesome. But I think the bigger two

0:26:54.720 --> 0:26:58.480
<v Speaker 1>questions then have to be is the team competing because

0:26:58.520 --> 0:27:00.760
<v Speaker 1>that's just naturally going to be a shorter leash, Like

0:27:00.840 --> 0:27:02.680
<v Speaker 1>if if Key Boom was on like the Tigers, I

0:27:02.720 --> 0:27:06.120
<v Speaker 1>don't think he gets sent down? And is there positional

0:27:06.200 --> 0:27:08.399
<v Speaker 1>competition there where? And what I mean by that like

0:27:09.040 --> 0:27:11.440
<v Speaker 1>is if Carter keep him isn't playing well, Hey, we

0:27:11.600 --> 0:27:13.720
<v Speaker 1>have a veteran and Brian Dojer who could play his position,

0:27:13.920 --> 0:27:15.680
<v Speaker 1>and we have Trade Turner coming back. Why do we

0:27:15.800 --> 0:27:18.040
<v Speaker 1>are we gonna like waste it with this kid struggling?

0:27:18.160 --> 0:27:21.639
<v Speaker 1>So I think those are two things that that everyone

0:27:21.680 --> 0:27:24.320
<v Speaker 1>gets excited for prospects. And I totally get that you

0:27:24.480 --> 0:27:26.520
<v Speaker 1>need to bid up if you want to get in

0:27:26.600 --> 0:27:28.280
<v Speaker 1>on the hype, But do you guys believe that we

0:27:28.359 --> 0:27:31.960
<v Speaker 1>need to start factoring in those two other Uh, like

0:27:32.200 --> 0:27:34.560
<v Speaker 1>those factors more going forward with prospects or do you

0:27:34.640 --> 0:27:37.960
<v Speaker 1>think we just continue to spend high and hope they hit. No.

0:27:38.080 --> 0:27:40.480
<v Speaker 1>I think that makes sense. It's you can't judge every

0:27:40.560 --> 0:27:42.399
<v Speaker 1>prospect the same, Greg. I mean, you do have to

0:27:42.440 --> 0:27:45.840
<v Speaker 1>take all of these factors into consideration, and maybe we

0:27:45.920 --> 0:27:48.119
<v Speaker 1>didn't do that enough when it came to Carter keep him.

0:27:48.160 --> 0:27:51.280
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna stick with my stance on Nate Low unless

0:27:51.320 --> 0:27:54.040
<v Speaker 1>there's something else, like there's some other baseball politics involved here,

0:27:54.080 --> 0:27:58.919
<v Speaker 1>like maybe maybe to salary manipulation, because if I think

0:27:58.960 --> 0:28:01.000
<v Speaker 1>they're looking at it as a man choy that different

0:28:01.040 --> 0:28:04.200
<v Speaker 1>from Low right now, if we could keep Low playing

0:28:04.240 --> 0:28:06.760
<v Speaker 1>time down and keep his numbers down, why wouldn't like

0:28:06.800 --> 0:28:09.400
<v Speaker 1>a small market team like the Rays do it. Yeah,

0:28:09.440 --> 0:28:11.520
<v Speaker 1>that's probably true. And I don't know if g man

0:28:11.600 --> 0:28:14.159
<v Speaker 1>Choy has options left, So I mean that's something that

0:28:14.240 --> 0:28:16.320
<v Speaker 1>might factor into it as well. There are a lot

0:28:16.400 --> 0:28:18.240
<v Speaker 1>there are a lot of factors, and I think that

0:28:18.400 --> 0:28:20.520
<v Speaker 1>makes that makes a lot of sense. I will I

0:28:20.880 --> 0:28:22.480
<v Speaker 1>will stick with what I said. I still think that

0:28:22.600 --> 0:28:26.600
<v Speaker 1>Nate Low probably deserved more so than than Carter keep

0:28:26.640 --> 0:28:28.880
<v Speaker 1>him to stay on the roster, but it is unfortunate.

0:28:28.920 --> 0:28:30.119
<v Speaker 1>It's a good point that you bring up, Mike. I

0:28:30.160 --> 0:28:32.560
<v Speaker 1>think we do have to take these things into consider

0:28:32.680 --> 0:28:35.199
<v Speaker 1>consideration a little bit more. Someone tweeted me the other

0:28:35.320 --> 0:28:37.920
<v Speaker 1>day and said, you're Don Alvarez isn't even on the

0:28:37.960 --> 0:28:40.880
<v Speaker 1>forty man roster for the Astros, So how's this guy

0:28:40.920 --> 0:28:43.920
<v Speaker 1>gonna get a call up? Manipulate that. I know, like

0:28:43.960 --> 0:28:46.400
<v Speaker 1>you can put someone on a sixty day I l like, whatever,

0:28:46.840 --> 0:28:48.920
<v Speaker 1>d f a somebody, but I mean, he's not on

0:28:49.040 --> 0:28:51.960
<v Speaker 1>the active roster right now. It could still happen, like

0:28:52.160 --> 0:28:54.920
<v Speaker 1>Kyle Tucker is already on the forty man agreed, So

0:28:55.200 --> 0:28:58.280
<v Speaker 1>maybe it's wrong with me. I don't get excited for

0:28:58.360 --> 0:29:01.320
<v Speaker 1>Astro's prospects like everyone like I know I probably should.

0:29:01.640 --> 0:29:04.880
<v Speaker 1>But if there's one team that like just doesn't care

0:29:04.920 --> 0:29:07.720
<v Speaker 1>about getting their prospects up and stuff, it's the ash Shows.

0:29:11.600 --> 0:29:13.239
<v Speaker 1>I feel like the Ashows have done it more man,

0:29:13.360 --> 0:29:15.280
<v Speaker 1>the Ashall's time and time, like how many I don't know.

0:29:16.000 --> 0:29:17.920
<v Speaker 1>I don't agree with that because you had correct come out,

0:29:17.960 --> 0:29:21.440
<v Speaker 1>you had Bragman come out. They both played okay, but

0:29:21.560 --> 0:29:24.440
<v Speaker 1>then look for you to look at those guys though,

0:29:24.480 --> 0:29:27.760
<v Speaker 1>were like they were they were earlier though since those

0:29:27.800 --> 0:29:31.920
<v Speaker 1>guys have come up, there's been like five plus prospects

0:29:31.960 --> 0:29:33.640
<v Speaker 1>that we've all been excited for. In the AS shows,

0:29:33.680 --> 0:29:36.040
<v Speaker 1>they had like ten first basement that we were excited about,

0:29:36.240 --> 0:29:37.840
<v Speaker 1>and then they bring in new Liguero, you know, like

0:29:38.120 --> 0:29:41.680
<v Speaker 1>well just holding. But to be fair, Mike, they were

0:29:41.800 --> 0:29:44.600
<v Speaker 1>right because all these got all those first basement they

0:29:44.640 --> 0:29:48.200
<v Speaker 1>all stuck, every one of them. I think Tyler White

0:29:48.240 --> 0:29:50.600
<v Speaker 1>could be very good if he ever gets everyday playing time.

0:29:51.360 --> 0:29:53.959
<v Speaker 1>Maybe maybe maybe not, But like Johnson played very well

0:29:54.080 --> 0:29:58.200
<v Speaker 1>last year, John Singleton not good. I always wanted Derek

0:29:58.200 --> 0:30:00.280
<v Speaker 1>Fisher to get a shot and that never happened. Should

0:30:00.280 --> 0:30:03.520
<v Speaker 1>never happened. Kyle Tucker hasn't really happened. Preston Tucker is

0:30:03.520 --> 0:30:07.280
<v Speaker 1>a disaster, and now Colin mq is sucking. And if

0:30:07.280 --> 0:30:08.880
<v Speaker 1>any of the other starting pitchers started to suck, like,

0:30:08.920 --> 0:30:10.760
<v Speaker 1>are we really gonna get Forest Whitley, I mean they'll

0:30:10.800 --> 0:30:16.600
<v Speaker 1>probably just find some other guy, Like pretty much. Yeah,

0:30:16.600 --> 0:30:17.840
<v Speaker 1>I mean I think it's a little bit harder with

0:30:17.880 --> 0:30:19.400
<v Speaker 1>the Astros because you're right, I mean, they are a

0:30:19.440 --> 0:30:23.320
<v Speaker 1>team that's trying to compete obviously, and they're at the

0:30:23.400 --> 0:30:28.640
<v Speaker 1>stage now, Greg, where you mentioned they called up Alex Bregman,

0:30:28.680 --> 0:30:30.760
<v Speaker 1>they call up Korea, they call up all these guys.

0:30:31.080 --> 0:30:34.520
<v Speaker 1>But now they're performing, and they're they have huge expectations

0:30:34.560 --> 0:30:36.880
<v Speaker 1>to win a World Series. They can't really afford to

0:30:37.000 --> 0:30:42.120
<v Speaker 1>kind of call up more young guys and have big

0:30:42.560 --> 0:30:45.600
<v Speaker 1>like expect big things from those guys right away, Like

0:30:45.680 --> 0:30:48.040
<v Speaker 1>they have Josh Reddick who is like top five and

0:30:48.120 --> 0:30:51.680
<v Speaker 1>banging amaging baseball right now. Last year because we were like, oh,

0:30:51.680 --> 0:30:53.480
<v Speaker 1>they're gonna get rid of Josh Reddick and they're gonna

0:30:53.520 --> 0:30:57.000
<v Speaker 1>use there, and it never happened, Never happened, I'm never

0:30:57.040 --> 0:30:59.600
<v Speaker 1>gonna happen again. This year. Everyone's excited about your don

0:30:59.680 --> 0:31:03.360
<v Speaker 1>ever and rightfully so he's crushing it right now. But

0:31:03.480 --> 0:31:06.560
<v Speaker 1>they're like, I don't And I said this last week

0:31:06.560 --> 0:31:09.680
<v Speaker 1>when everyone was picking him up, Craig, how does it happen?

0:31:10.000 --> 0:31:12.400
<v Speaker 1>How does it happen for him? Because there there are

0:31:12.440 --> 0:31:14.440
<v Speaker 1>a bunch of boofs that he has to jump through.

0:31:14.520 --> 0:31:16.840
<v Speaker 1>Right now, then let me move on to players, right,

0:31:16.960 --> 0:31:18.040
<v Speaker 1>not that I want to don't want to ask you

0:31:18.040 --> 0:31:19.840
<v Speaker 1>a question, but only what the players are canna help

0:31:19.880 --> 0:31:23.120
<v Speaker 1>people here this week? Right? And you mentioned Mike before

0:31:23.200 --> 0:31:26.680
<v Speaker 1>Williams Studio, who's on the d l ill coming back

0:31:26.720 --> 0:31:29.640
<v Speaker 1>at some point. But Mitch Carver has gotten it done

0:31:29.760 --> 0:31:31.520
<v Speaker 1>for Minnesota, has a late HEAs in casher at a

0:31:31.560 --> 0:31:34.120
<v Speaker 1>Homer this week playtime. It's gonna be tough for all

0:31:34.160 --> 0:31:36.640
<v Speaker 1>these catchers. If you're in a two catcher league to

0:31:36.760 --> 0:31:39.640
<v Speaker 1>catcher format, are you interested picking up at Jason Caster

0:31:39.840 --> 0:31:43.760
<v Speaker 1>or Mitch Carver? Mitch Garver more so. I think Mitch Garver,

0:31:43.880 --> 0:31:46.160
<v Speaker 1>even in his limited role, like he's giving you power.

0:31:46.280 --> 0:31:48.920
<v Speaker 1>I think as a catcher too, even in a limited

0:31:49.000 --> 0:31:51.120
<v Speaker 1>role like and I have like Kurt Szuki in leagues,

0:31:51.160 --> 0:31:54.600
<v Speaker 1>Tyler Flowers, guys who don't play every single day, because

0:31:54.640 --> 0:31:56.800
<v Speaker 1>I think the catcher position is the one spot where

0:31:57.000 --> 0:31:58.600
<v Speaker 1>your guy isn't going to play every day. So I

0:31:58.800 --> 0:32:01.480
<v Speaker 1>would be most inclined at Mitch Garver of those guys.

0:32:01.720 --> 0:32:04.560
<v Speaker 1>But I will fully admit like it's gonna be three

0:32:04.800 --> 0:32:08.920
<v Speaker 1>three catchers for one spot, like it's going to be frustrating. Yeah,

0:32:09.080 --> 0:32:11.080
<v Speaker 1>I love Mitch Garver two and I would assume that

0:32:11.160 --> 0:32:13.640
<v Speaker 1>he's owned in all two catcher leagues already Greg, but

0:32:14.000 --> 0:32:18.560
<v Speaker 1>I would I would push him up into he's almost

0:32:18.840 --> 0:32:21.200
<v Speaker 1>worth owning in a one catcher league just because of

0:32:21.200 --> 0:32:23.360
<v Speaker 1>the way he's performing right now and the lineup that

0:32:23.440 --> 0:32:25.360
<v Speaker 1>he plays in. But it is going to be frustrating.

0:32:25.640 --> 0:32:27.760
<v Speaker 1>But there are a lot of catchers who might be

0:32:27.920 --> 0:32:32.160
<v Speaker 1>fringy in the single catcher league's worth owning like in

0:32:32.200 --> 0:32:34.320
<v Speaker 1>a twelve team league, Like he's towards that back end.

0:32:34.440 --> 0:32:37.320
<v Speaker 1>He's he's pushing himself into like top ten, top twelve

0:32:37.560 --> 0:32:40.600
<v Speaker 1>catcher territory, even if he only plays, you know, three

0:32:40.800 --> 0:32:44.000
<v Speaker 1>maybe four times a week. When he plays, he's been

0:32:44.160 --> 0:32:46.520
<v Speaker 1>really damn good. This year's shout out Tonanto Dafina, who

0:32:46.560 --> 0:32:49.880
<v Speaker 1>was on Mitch Garver before everyone else. He uh, Mitch

0:32:49.920 --> 0:32:52.000
<v Speaker 1>Garver's just absolutely match right now. The battle ball day

0:32:52.080 --> 0:32:55.800
<v Speaker 1>is really good. Also on Jabari Blash before everyone else

0:32:55.880 --> 0:32:59.040
<v Speaker 1>is well he is. He is catching number ten right

0:32:59.080 --> 0:33:01.800
<v Speaker 1>now in points leagues. So yeah, and there's a lot

0:33:01.880 --> 0:33:04.000
<v Speaker 1>the catcher there's like eight good catchers this year. Like Wilson,

0:33:04.080 --> 0:33:06.800
<v Speaker 1>Ramos has sucked a supposed we all knew was gonna

0:33:06.840 --> 0:33:10.600
<v Speaker 1>suck like it's been. It's it's been a really bad position.

0:33:11.320 --> 0:33:13.720
<v Speaker 1>It's been really really tough that catch position. Just a

0:33:13.720 --> 0:33:15.920
<v Speaker 1>couple more hitters in your standards twelve team leaves we

0:33:15.960 --> 0:33:17.760
<v Speaker 1>wanted to throw out before we moved on to pitching.

0:33:18.160 --> 0:33:20.520
<v Speaker 1>Hunter Redfris in the game, that obviously really comes to mind.

0:33:20.560 --> 0:33:22.800
<v Speaker 1>He's owning thirty five percent of yeahoo leaves right now.

0:33:23.080 --> 0:33:25.040
<v Speaker 1>He has homered in three of his last four games,

0:33:25.080 --> 0:33:28.200
<v Speaker 1>including a pinch hit home run Cold Nights Ago at

0:33:28.280 --> 0:33:30.880
<v Speaker 1>home against Dodgers. And the big story is, especially if

0:33:30.880 --> 0:33:33.000
<v Speaker 1>you're in a daily change league Hunter Redfro this this

0:33:33.080 --> 0:33:36.800
<v Speaker 1>weekend is in Colorado. If he plays every day, that

0:33:36.840 --> 0:33:40.120
<v Speaker 1>sounds like a recipe for success. Frankie, Yeah, I've been

0:33:40.160 --> 0:33:42.240
<v Speaker 1>a big Hunter Renfro fan for a long time. But

0:33:42.600 --> 0:33:45.200
<v Speaker 1>the concerns that we had for all the Padre's outfielders

0:33:45.200 --> 0:33:47.000
<v Speaker 1>coming into the year where they gonna play enough, and

0:33:47.480 --> 0:33:49.760
<v Speaker 1>he has played more recently, They're finding ways to get

0:33:49.800 --> 0:33:51.520
<v Speaker 1>guys in the line up. They're putting Will Myers in

0:33:51.600 --> 0:33:54.720
<v Speaker 1>center field at times. Manuel Margot seems like he's been

0:33:54.760 --> 0:33:56.800
<v Speaker 1>the one that kind of has taken the biggest backseat here.

0:33:56.960 --> 0:33:59.840
<v Speaker 1>Friend Milray is playing every single day, um, and everyone

0:34:00.000 --> 0:34:02.080
<v Speaker 1>is how I feel about Frank Milrays already at this point.

0:34:02.160 --> 0:34:05.920
<v Speaker 1>But to Renfro, fifty two point six percent hard hit rate,

0:34:06.000 --> 0:34:08.040
<v Speaker 1>he puts the ball in the air. You saw the

0:34:08.239 --> 0:34:11.480
<v Speaker 1>pinch it Grand Slam against Kenny Jansen on Sunday. The

0:34:11.520 --> 0:34:13.879
<v Speaker 1>guy can absolutely mash. He just needs an opportunity to play.

0:34:13.880 --> 0:34:16.719
<v Speaker 1>He has nine home runs in a hundred and eight

0:34:16.760 --> 0:34:20.200
<v Speaker 1>plate appearances so far. It's here. So the the ability

0:34:20.239 --> 0:34:22.439
<v Speaker 1>to hit has never been in question for Hunter Renfro,

0:34:22.600 --> 0:34:27.439
<v Speaker 1>especially um hit for power. But uh, is he gonna

0:34:27.480 --> 0:34:29.480
<v Speaker 1>play enough? That's that's the biggest question mark. And I

0:34:29.520 --> 0:34:31.960
<v Speaker 1>think right now, the fact that he's playing as well

0:34:31.960 --> 0:34:33.319
<v Speaker 1>as he is, I think he'll be in the line

0:34:33.400 --> 0:34:36.040
<v Speaker 1>up more often than not the San Diego Padres. Yeah,

0:34:36.360 --> 0:34:39.000
<v Speaker 1>the way he's hot right now Floria, which means Hunter

0:34:39.080 --> 0:34:41.960
<v Speaker 1>Redfro probably should be picked up, certainly for this weekend. Yeah,

0:34:42.040 --> 0:34:43.600
<v Speaker 1>he should be. I know he's in the top three

0:34:43.680 --> 0:34:46.360
<v Speaker 1>in their outfielders and plate appearances this year. Will Myers

0:34:46.440 --> 0:34:48.960
<v Speaker 1>leads them, and I don't know, like how you can

0:34:49.000 --> 0:34:50.959
<v Speaker 1>at this point in time, I would be playing Rays

0:34:51.120 --> 0:34:53.719
<v Speaker 1>and Renfro over Will Myers if I was depoddress. But

0:34:53.760 --> 0:34:56.000
<v Speaker 1>there doesn't look like they're gonna do that. It looks

0:34:56.040 --> 0:34:59.319
<v Speaker 1>like when someone has to sit unfortunately, it probably will

0:34:59.400 --> 0:35:01.880
<v Speaker 1>be Renfro, But yeah, in course this weekend he should

0:35:01.880 --> 0:35:03.799
<v Speaker 1>a hundred percent be you know, you should picked up

0:35:03.800 --> 0:35:06.160
<v Speaker 1>and put in your lineup. And I I agree with Frank.

0:35:06.239 --> 0:35:08.600
<v Speaker 1>I love Rais and I love Renfro, and if they

0:35:08.640 --> 0:35:11.400
<v Speaker 1>were both given everyday plate appearances, I think both of

0:35:11.480 --> 0:35:15.240
<v Speaker 1>them could be you know, outfield threes if with upside,

0:35:15.280 --> 0:35:17.120
<v Speaker 1>Like I really do like both of these guys a

0:35:17.200 --> 0:35:20.120
<v Speaker 1>lot in that lineup. It's just the playing time is maddening.

0:35:20.280 --> 0:35:22.000
<v Speaker 1>We had a good question just going back, for one

0:35:22.160 --> 0:35:23.880
<v Speaker 1>said about Mitch Garver, and you talked about how he

0:35:23.920 --> 0:35:26.279
<v Speaker 1>was a top ten catcher and Wilson Round, which has

0:35:26.320 --> 0:35:28.120
<v Speaker 1>been awful. Would you drop Whizzer round which from Mitch

0:35:28.160 --> 0:35:32.239
<v Speaker 1>Garver in a one catcher league? Is that for me?

0:35:32.320 --> 0:35:36.799
<v Speaker 1>Here for Franks, Uh, I don't know if I'm there

0:35:36.880 --> 0:35:38.480
<v Speaker 1>yet just because of the playing time, But it is

0:35:38.640 --> 0:35:42.160
<v Speaker 1>so close. Like Wilson Ramos, his value was really inflated

0:35:42.200 --> 0:35:44.080
<v Speaker 1>early in the year. He was hitting like five hundred

0:35:44.080 --> 0:35:46.920
<v Speaker 1>with runners in scoring position. He leave, at least last

0:35:47.000 --> 0:35:49.040
<v Speaker 1>night looked he was leading the league in groundball percent.

0:35:49.160 --> 0:35:51.120
<v Speaker 1>It wasn't even that close. It feels like every time

0:35:51.160 --> 0:35:53.319
<v Speaker 1>he comes up he grounds into a double play. They

0:35:53.320 --> 0:35:55.200
<v Speaker 1>didn't even pinch it him the other day for Thomas

0:35:55.320 --> 0:35:57.720
<v Speaker 1>Needo with the game on the line. That was pretty

0:35:57.800 --> 0:36:00.960
<v Speaker 1>telling to me. So it's getting very close. I'm not

0:36:01.040 --> 0:36:02.840
<v Speaker 1>sure if I'm fully there yet, only because of the

0:36:02.840 --> 0:36:06.160
<v Speaker 1>playing time concerns for Garver. Yeah, I agree with Mike,

0:36:06.200 --> 0:36:07.960
<v Speaker 1>and I was a Wilson Ramos guy coming into the year.

0:36:07.960 --> 0:36:10.240
<v Speaker 1>He's always had issues with groundballs, but really has taken

0:36:10.239 --> 0:36:13.480
<v Speaker 1>it to the next level he was entering this season

0:36:13.520 --> 0:36:16.160
<v Speaker 1>in his career. He's up to sixty three percent groundball

0:36:16.280 --> 0:36:18.160
<v Speaker 1>so far, and that's just not gonna work out. I mean,

0:36:18.320 --> 0:36:20.000
<v Speaker 1>normally we want to go like de Gordon to hit

0:36:20.040 --> 0:36:22.920
<v Speaker 1>that many groundballs, but as someone like Wilson Ramos, the

0:36:23.000 --> 0:36:25.319
<v Speaker 1>big pearly catcher, dude, we can't be having you hitting

0:36:25.600 --> 0:36:28.680
<v Speaker 1>sixty percent groundballs. But the past couple of years he

0:36:28.760 --> 0:36:31.520
<v Speaker 1>has been someone that you can rely on for batting average. Um,

0:36:31.760 --> 0:36:34.160
<v Speaker 1>I would say the cream, Greggy, the cream rises to

0:36:34.239 --> 0:36:36.360
<v Speaker 1>the top here when it comes to Wilson Ramos, I

0:36:36.400 --> 0:36:38.279
<v Speaker 1>think he's gonna be better. It's close, but I'll stick

0:36:38.320 --> 0:36:40.000
<v Speaker 1>with Ramos. A couple of other hitters we want to

0:36:40.000 --> 0:36:42.080
<v Speaker 1>mention here how he Kendrew if we talked about a

0:36:42.160 --> 0:36:45.560
<v Speaker 1>lot now that Carter Keebo was down, Uh, Kender's playing

0:36:45.680 --> 0:36:48.880
<v Speaker 1>right every day and he's certainly doing very well right now.

0:36:49.000 --> 0:36:51.320
<v Speaker 1>Kendrick hat consider picking him up and then some deeper,

0:36:51.680 --> 0:36:55.399
<v Speaker 1>some deeper league adds Frank Um de Gordon's injury last

0:36:55.480 --> 0:36:59.920
<v Speaker 1>night opens up some opportunities in Seattle. Yeah. JP Crawford

0:37:00.080 --> 0:37:02.279
<v Speaker 1>and shed Longer both going to be called up by

0:37:02.320 --> 0:37:05.920
<v Speaker 1>the Seattle Mariners, and I would imagine that JP Crawford's

0:37:05.920 --> 0:37:07.560
<v Speaker 1>probably the guy that sees the bulk of the playing time,

0:37:07.600 --> 0:37:09.320
<v Speaker 1>even though it's cool name alert with shed Long. I

0:37:09.360 --> 0:37:11.120
<v Speaker 1>do like shed Long. He was actually one of the

0:37:11.160 --> 0:37:13.040
<v Speaker 1>prospects that they got in returned for James Packs, and

0:37:13.080 --> 0:37:14.359
<v Speaker 1>we could talk about him a little bit more when

0:37:14.360 --> 0:37:16.360
<v Speaker 1>we come back. I was actually hoping he would just

0:37:16.400 --> 0:37:17.800
<v Speaker 1>be the only one to get called up and he

0:37:17.800 --> 0:37:19.560
<v Speaker 1>would just be able to play every day at second base.

0:37:19.840 --> 0:37:21.279
<v Speaker 1>But I do think that that we'll go to JP

0:37:21.400 --> 0:37:23.160
<v Speaker 1>Crawford at least in the short tim and maybe this

0:37:23.280 --> 0:37:24.879
<v Speaker 1>could be the end of Tim Beckham as he's starting

0:37:24.880 --> 0:37:27.000
<v Speaker 1>a short stuff potential. He's been struggling a lot too,

0:38:39.520 --> 0:38:43.680
<v Speaker 1>In this leave I'm probably a little bit higher on

0:38:44.239 --> 0:38:47.840
<v Speaker 1>the Arizona or wide receivers in particular um Andy Isabelle

0:38:47.880 --> 0:38:51.560
<v Speaker 1>I had kind of ranked lower as far as my receivers.

0:38:51.640 --> 0:38:55.400
<v Speaker 1>But I think going to Arizona in Cliff Kingsbury's air

0:38:55.480 --> 0:38:58.719
<v Speaker 1>raid system and them getting the quarterback to run this,

0:38:59.160 --> 0:39:01.520
<v Speaker 1>I think it's a really good bit. And I also

0:39:01.600 --> 0:39:04.680
<v Speaker 1>think that Hacken Butler is a really good fit. Saturday's

<v Speaker 1>b FS Fantasy Sports Radio Network, Frank Sample, Michael Floria,

0:40:03.239 --> 0:40:07.800
<v Speaker 1>and we mentioned the Seattle situation. Tim Beckham is struggling.

0:40:07.880 --> 0:40:11.360
<v Speaker 1>De Gordon hurt Hittle risk last night, um by Jay happy.

0:40:11.640 --> 0:40:17.600
<v Speaker 1>Gordon is not happy about that. Um JP cral for

0:40:17.640 --> 0:40:21.040
<v Speaker 1>deeper leaves pick him up, um well, especially if you

0:40:21.080 --> 0:40:23.840
<v Speaker 1>were a D Gordon owner, like I owned D Gordon

0:40:24.160 --> 0:40:26.520
<v Speaker 1>in the main event, and I'm gonna have to figure

0:40:26.520 --> 0:40:28.600
<v Speaker 1>out what to do about that situation. Now. It's not

0:40:28.760 --> 0:40:31.200
<v Speaker 1>only do I lose a starting caliber player on my team,

0:40:31.239 --> 0:40:33.640
<v Speaker 1>but I lose a ton of stolen basis, so that

0:40:33.719 --> 0:40:36.279
<v Speaker 1>definitely sucks. We'll see what they do. In terms of

0:40:36.440 --> 0:40:38.160
<v Speaker 1>Tim Beckham, I don't think that he's just going to

0:40:38.280 --> 0:40:40.200
<v Speaker 1>completely be banished to the bench or anything. I know

0:40:40.280 --> 0:40:42.640
<v Speaker 1>that he's cold right now. The Seattle Mariners, as the

0:40:42.680 --> 0:40:44.239
<v Speaker 1>season goes along, I think they're going to have more

0:40:44.239 --> 0:40:46.200
<v Speaker 1>of an eye on the future, so they're gonna give

0:40:46.200 --> 0:40:48.799
<v Speaker 1>their younger players an opportunity to play guys like Shed Long,

0:40:48.880 --> 0:40:51.480
<v Speaker 1>guys like JP Crawford. But in the short term, I

0:40:51.520 --> 0:40:53.839
<v Speaker 1>don't think Tim Beckham just goes away right now, which

0:40:53.880 --> 0:40:56.279
<v Speaker 1>could just make this a maddening situation for everybody. Greg

0:40:56.320 --> 0:40:58.880
<v Speaker 1>there's a lot of names in the Seattle Mariner's line

0:40:58.960 --> 0:41:01.160
<v Speaker 1>up that they're trying to fit in constantly. And now

0:41:01.239 --> 0:41:03.840
<v Speaker 1>if we have some kind of situation where it's a

0:41:03.920 --> 0:41:08.280
<v Speaker 1>mixing match between JP Crawford and shed Long and Tim Beckham,

0:41:08.440 --> 0:41:10.600
<v Speaker 1>they're probably all just going to take away from each

0:41:10.600 --> 0:41:14.760
<v Speaker 1>other overall. So it's just kind of a frustrating situation.

0:41:14.880 --> 0:41:16.879
<v Speaker 1>I don't know that any of them are really must

0:41:16.920 --> 0:41:19.719
<v Speaker 1>add players, even deeper leagues and al only. But yeah,

0:41:19.760 --> 0:41:22.000
<v Speaker 1>you take a shot, but I don't know that either

0:41:22.040 --> 0:41:24.880
<v Speaker 1>one is going to play regularly right away. What do

0:41:24.920 --> 0:41:26.840
<v Speaker 1>you think? Might agree with with Frank? But I was

0:41:26.880 --> 0:41:29.160
<v Speaker 1>gonna like there hasn't been an update that I missed,

0:41:29.239 --> 0:41:31.200
<v Speaker 1>right because as last I saw it said the the

0:41:31.440 --> 0:41:35.160
<v Speaker 1>X ray was inconclusive and the good inconclusive is bad.

0:41:37.239 --> 0:41:38.680
<v Speaker 1>I know he's going to land on the I L.

0:41:39.040 --> 0:41:41.800
<v Speaker 1>But it's not like it's like, oh, he's gonna be

0:41:41.880 --> 0:41:45.640
<v Speaker 1>out for two months right like there's been There hasn't

0:41:45.640 --> 0:41:48.960
<v Speaker 1>been a timetable yet. It could be like, oh, he's

0:41:48.960 --> 0:41:54.400
<v Speaker 1>back in two weeks. Do you like either of these guys, Mike, No,

0:41:54.480 --> 0:41:56.120
<v Speaker 1>I agree with you. I think right now they're al

0:41:56.160 --> 0:42:00.640
<v Speaker 1>onely guys. JP Crawford does three homes in three stolen

0:42:00.640 --> 0:42:03.280
<v Speaker 1>bases hitting three nineteen, so better than what we've normally

0:42:03.320 --> 0:42:06.440
<v Speaker 1>seen from JP Crawford and the miners shed long five homers,

0:42:06.800 --> 0:42:08.800
<v Speaker 1>seventy six batting average. I joked about him during the

0:42:08.880 --> 0:42:11.200
<v Speaker 1>break Mac Williams should be called up for San Francisco

0:42:11.719 --> 0:42:13.680
<v Speaker 1>A couple of days ago. Homeward in his first game,

0:42:14.160 --> 0:42:18.640
<v Speaker 1>next one got rained out, and yesterday snow doubt snowed

0:42:18.680 --> 0:42:22.240
<v Speaker 1>and rained out. Actually, and last night or yesterday afternoon,

0:42:22.239 --> 0:42:24.560
<v Speaker 1>I don't think he did all that much. Um now

0:42:24.680 --> 0:42:26.840
<v Speaker 1>Williams in the deep league, I think he's worth adding.

0:42:27.160 --> 0:42:30.720
<v Speaker 1>My man Ronnie Rodriguez, not even just deeply. Ronnie Rodrigue

0:42:30.719 --> 0:42:34.840
<v Speaker 1>should be owned. He's good, right right, Mike. Yeah, his

0:42:34.920 --> 0:42:37.399
<v Speaker 1>ownership percentage is still last I looked, it was still

0:42:37.440 --> 0:42:39.919
<v Speaker 1>pretty low, so he should be. He should be higher

0:42:39.960 --> 0:42:42.919
<v Speaker 1>on than he is. Yeah. So when I was looking

0:42:42.960 --> 0:42:46.760
<v Speaker 1>into Ronnie Rodriguez, he's had some interesting minor league numbers.

0:42:46.800 --> 0:42:50.120
<v Speaker 1>Two in seventeen he had seventeen home runs, fifteen stolen

0:42:50.160 --> 0:42:53.319
<v Speaker 1>bases to nine one batting average, an interesting power speed

0:42:53.400 --> 0:42:56.239
<v Speaker 1>combination mashing right now already for the Tigers, they don't

0:42:56.239 --> 0:42:57.840
<v Speaker 1>have a ton of talent on this team, so I

0:42:57.880 --> 0:43:00.239
<v Speaker 1>think he's gonna play every single day fifty one send

0:43:00.280 --> 0:43:04.440
<v Speaker 1>hard hit rate, fly ball rate, batting average right now,

0:43:04.520 --> 0:43:07.640
<v Speaker 1>three homers, twelve verybies, one stolen base. What's not to like,

0:43:07.840 --> 0:43:10.560
<v Speaker 1>especially in a in a daily transactions leaue greg I

0:43:10.600 --> 0:43:13.560
<v Speaker 1>picked him up in the pit league and he plays

0:43:13.600 --> 0:43:16.520
<v Speaker 1>every position but catcher. This is basically the second coming

0:43:16.520 --> 0:43:19.520
<v Speaker 1>of Nico Goodrum, same team. You might have a little

0:43:19.520 --> 0:43:21.520
<v Speaker 1>bit more upside, doesn't strike out as much as Nico.

0:43:23.080 --> 0:43:29.120
<v Speaker 1>I like. Thank you, magueys. Sign up for today's Fan Duel. Yeah. Absolutely,

<v Speaker 1>use your name, leave us a comment on YouTube. I

0:43:58.560 --> 0:44:01.400
<v Speaker 1>will send you an invite. Last week it actually ran

0:44:01.520 --> 0:44:03.680
<v Speaker 1>for money, which was fun. I know we mentioned the

0:44:03.719 --> 0:44:06.799
<v Speaker 1>other day user name. Yes, two days Future ended up

0:44:06.800 --> 0:44:09.080
<v Speaker 1>winning it and our buddy Constant team finish in the

0:44:09.160 --> 0:44:12.640
<v Speaker 1>top three, so all of us did not cash up.

0:44:13.880 --> 0:44:16.320
<v Speaker 1>We did not, But I got this connected during Ronnie

0:44:16.360 --> 0:44:19.400
<v Speaker 1>Rodriguez can. I think he's one of the more interesting

0:44:19.520 --> 0:44:23.839
<v Speaker 1>players to project. His heart hit rate is fifty one.

0:44:24.080 --> 0:44:27.160
<v Speaker 1>His fly ball you love to see that, and you

0:44:27.200 --> 0:44:29.160
<v Speaker 1>would expect him to have more than three home runs.

0:44:29.200 --> 0:44:31.279
<v Speaker 1>So like that right there, I'm like, all right, cool,

0:44:31.320 --> 0:44:32.719
<v Speaker 1>I want to buy in. I want to get him.

0:44:32.840 --> 0:44:35.319
<v Speaker 1>Like while he's you know, we're seeing what we want

0:44:35.360 --> 0:44:37.600
<v Speaker 1>to see, but the results haven't caught up yet. But

0:44:37.600 --> 0:44:40.120
<v Speaker 1>at the same point in time, he's a swinging strike

0:44:40.200 --> 0:44:42.719
<v Speaker 1>rate of seventeen and he's chasing pitches out of the

0:44:42.840 --> 0:44:45.520
<v Speaker 1>zone forty six point seven percent of the time, So

0:44:45.640 --> 0:44:47.839
<v Speaker 1>which tells me he should be striking out a lot

0:44:47.880 --> 0:44:50.399
<v Speaker 1>more than he is. So like he's one of the ones,

0:44:50.440 --> 0:44:52.759
<v Speaker 1>Like I think the upside is very high, but I

0:44:52.880 --> 0:44:55.680
<v Speaker 1>also think like he's been getting a little fortunate with

0:44:55.680 --> 0:44:58.360
<v Speaker 1>those strikeouts. Well maybe he's just the next coming of

0:44:58.480 --> 0:45:01.360
<v Speaker 1>Javier Baias, Mike, how about that he could be? He

0:45:01.480 --> 0:45:04.840
<v Speaker 1>could be? Those are Haavia by Javier Baias esque numbers

0:45:04.880 --> 0:45:06.800
<v Speaker 1>man Habby Baya is one of the best to do

0:45:06.840 --> 0:45:09.560
<v Speaker 1>it in terms of swinging and missing, chasing pitches outside

0:45:09.600 --> 0:45:11.919
<v Speaker 1>the strike zone, but still being awesome and still hitting

0:45:11.920 --> 0:45:14.560
<v Speaker 1>for batting average. I'm I'm I'm not ready to say

0:45:14.560 --> 0:45:17.600
<v Speaker 1>that Ronnie Rodriguez Javier Bias great, but I guess we'll

0:45:17.680 --> 0:45:19.239
<v Speaker 1>we'll write it out for now. Kind of similar to

0:45:19.360 --> 0:45:20.920
<v Speaker 1>some of these other guys, like the Hunter Pences of

0:45:20.960 --> 0:45:24.120
<v Speaker 1>the world. Uh, the underlying numbers, the battle ball data

0:45:24.160 --> 0:45:26.840
<v Speaker 1>look pretty good for Ronnie Rodriguez, maybe outside of the

0:45:27.239 --> 0:45:31.040
<v Speaker 1>plate discipline, but take a shot, he's performing well right now.

0:45:31.719 --> 0:45:34.160
<v Speaker 1>He has a high contact rate despite you know, chasing

0:45:34.239 --> 0:45:36.560
<v Speaker 1>every pitch out of his zone everyone throwing his way.

0:45:37.400 --> 0:45:39.920
<v Speaker 1>That's such an interesting mix of like combination of things

0:45:40.000 --> 0:45:41.759
<v Speaker 1>that he has going on right now because he you're

0:45:41.800 --> 0:45:44.040
<v Speaker 1>you're saying he has the high contact great, but also

0:45:44.560 --> 0:45:46.640
<v Speaker 1>you know, swings and misses and then also chases a

0:45:46.680 --> 0:45:49.640
<v Speaker 1>bunch of pitches. So it actually does remind me of

0:45:49.680 --> 0:45:52.520
<v Speaker 1>a lot of Javier Bias. This is a the poorest

0:45:52.760 --> 0:45:58.200
<v Speaker 1>the poorest man version of Javier Bias is is Ronnie Rodriguez. Sure,

0:45:58.400 --> 0:46:00.959
<v Speaker 1>like some of the guys you know, like thirty four Street,

0:46:01.000 --> 0:46:04.000
<v Speaker 1>Harald Square, Ronnie Rodriguez is one of those guys. That's

0:46:04.080 --> 0:46:07.279
<v Speaker 1>that's the happier Bias version. We'll go with it. Like

0:46:07.360 --> 0:46:09.839
<v Speaker 1>he's out there wearing like it comes beautiful of trying

0:46:09.840 --> 0:46:14.359
<v Speaker 1>to take pictures with people. Yeah, it's like the people

0:46:14.400 --> 0:46:16.399
<v Speaker 1>in Manhattan, Greg where they're just like, hey, I swear

0:46:16.440 --> 0:46:18.560
<v Speaker 1>I'm happier Bias, even though he doesn't look like happier

0:46:18.600 --> 0:46:20.400
<v Speaker 1>Bias at all. Like give me a dollar, take a

0:46:20.440 --> 0:46:22.959
<v Speaker 1>picture with me. It's like Spider Man who walks around

0:46:23.000 --> 0:46:25.680
<v Speaker 1>in the middle of the city. That's like at costume,

0:46:26.040 --> 0:46:29.279
<v Speaker 1>dirty Spider Man. Let's get to the closer. Let's get

0:46:29.280 --> 0:46:32.880
<v Speaker 1>to the closers, gentlemen. Sean Kelly, who you had prompted

0:46:32.960 --> 0:46:36.840
<v Speaker 1>out my couple of days ago, was not in for

0:46:37.040 --> 0:46:39.880
<v Speaker 1>the safe situation. Chris Martin got it and now you

0:46:40.000 --> 0:46:44.040
<v Speaker 1>know why. Um, Sean Kelly has some sort of what

0:46:44.160 --> 0:46:47.279
<v Speaker 1>is it virus? It's not a virus infection infection, but

0:46:47.400 --> 0:46:50.040
<v Speaker 1>we don't know what the infection is from or any

0:46:50.080 --> 0:46:53.759
<v Speaker 1>more information on it, so not great for Sean Kelly.

0:46:54.200 --> 0:46:57.439
<v Speaker 1>Chris Martins given the closer for now until Josie Clark

0:46:57.480 --> 0:46:59.400
<v Speaker 1>gets his job back. I would dropped Sean Kelly. I

0:46:59.400 --> 0:47:00.879
<v Speaker 1>feel we're gonna out that there's no reason to hold

0:47:00.920 --> 0:47:02.560
<v Speaker 1>on him because when he does come back, you don't

0:47:02.600 --> 0:47:04.640
<v Speaker 1>know that he'll be the closer. You can definitely drop

0:47:04.680 --> 0:47:07.040
<v Speaker 1>Sean Kelly. You definitely pick up Chris Martin because he

0:47:07.080 --> 0:47:10.240
<v Speaker 1>seems to be the guy again for now. Other closures

0:47:10.280 --> 0:47:12.239
<v Speaker 1>that are out there this week, Pager Stroke went on

0:47:12.320 --> 0:47:15.680
<v Speaker 1>the i L yesterday. I believe Steve check is probably

0:47:15.719 --> 0:47:20.200
<v Speaker 1>the favorite in Chicago, but Frank, there are other options there. Yeah.

0:47:20.280 --> 0:47:22.239
<v Speaker 1>I think this is gonna be a messy situation at

0:47:22.280 --> 0:47:25.040
<v Speaker 1>least for the time being. Maybe once the MLB Draft passes,

0:47:25.200 --> 0:47:28.279
<v Speaker 1>they get in on the bidding for Craig kimbrell Um.

0:47:28.360 --> 0:47:31.560
<v Speaker 1>And if you're wondering about Brandon Morrow, I scoured the

0:47:31.600 --> 0:47:33.680
<v Speaker 1>web last night and could not find a single update

0:47:33.719 --> 0:47:35.920
<v Speaker 1>on Brandon Tomorrow. He suffered a setback a couple of

0:47:35.960 --> 0:47:39.319
<v Speaker 1>weeks ago and sounds who knows when he's coming back. Yeah,

0:47:39.360 --> 0:47:41.160
<v Speaker 1>So like the latest timetable that I saw with him

0:47:41.239 --> 0:47:44.040
<v Speaker 1>was like he's gonna miss the entire first half. So

0:47:44.800 --> 0:47:46.600
<v Speaker 1>you have c Check, you have Brad Brock, you have

0:47:46.640 --> 0:47:49.800
<v Speaker 1>Brandon Kinseler. All three of them have a prior closing experience.

0:47:50.000 --> 0:47:51.960
<v Speaker 1>I looked into the numbers of all three last night.

0:47:52.320 --> 0:47:54.560
<v Speaker 1>Uh D. C Chick has actually done better than I

0:47:54.600 --> 0:47:57.400
<v Speaker 1>thought he was doing, and Brandon Kinseler was actually next up.

0:47:57.440 --> 0:47:59.800
<v Speaker 1>Brad Brock walking a lot of people right now. I

0:48:00.040 --> 0:48:01.719
<v Speaker 1>Steve c Check is probably gonna go for the most

0:48:01.800 --> 0:48:05.799
<v Speaker 1>fab this weekend, Greg, But I think the sneaky ad

0:48:06.040 --> 0:48:08.920
<v Speaker 1>is I would throw a few bucks on Brandon Kinseler

0:48:08.960 --> 0:48:10.840
<v Speaker 1>and just see if he can grab a handful of

0:48:10.880 --> 0:48:13.160
<v Speaker 1>saves or whatever if someone emerges here. But I think

0:48:13.200 --> 0:48:15.799
<v Speaker 1>Steve c Chick is probably gonna be the most popular one.

0:48:16.160 --> 0:48:19.080
<v Speaker 1>Although Madden had says it's basically just like a mixing

0:48:19.120 --> 0:48:21.200
<v Speaker 1>match right now. Yeah, it's always a mixing match until

0:48:21.200 --> 0:48:23.960
<v Speaker 1>somebody pulls away. I think c Check is probably my favorite.

0:48:24.000 --> 0:48:26.440
<v Speaker 1>But Mike, this is somewhere where you go to just

0:48:26.560 --> 0:48:29.600
<v Speaker 1>drain your faving it very frustrated. I think I don't

0:48:29.600 --> 0:48:32.000
<v Speaker 1>trust Joe Madden at all when it comes to closers

0:48:32.080 --> 0:48:34.680
<v Speaker 1>because since Brandon Morrow has got hurt last year, he

0:48:34.760 --> 0:48:37.080
<v Speaker 1>hasn't named a closer, like even coming into this year,

0:48:37.160 --> 0:48:39.080
<v Speaker 1>he was like, well, Morrows are closer and until he

0:48:39.120 --> 0:48:41.120
<v Speaker 1>gets back, will piece it together, even though the whole

0:48:41.160 --> 0:48:43.400
<v Speaker 1>world knew Pago Stroke was going to be the closer.

0:48:43.960 --> 0:48:45.600
<v Speaker 1>I think I'm with you, guys. I think it is

0:48:45.640 --> 0:48:48.400
<v Speaker 1>Steve c Check. I put it on Patreon the other day. Uh,

0:48:48.560 --> 0:48:50.799
<v Speaker 1>he's pitching the best of all their relievers right now.

0:48:51.120 --> 0:48:54.680
<v Speaker 1>Only Uh Kyle Ryan had a lower whip than I'm sorry,

0:48:54.680 --> 0:48:57.080
<v Speaker 1>a lower fit than Steve c Check. But Kindlings was

0:48:57.160 --> 0:48:58.719
<v Speaker 1>right behind him. I think that's a good call. Frank

0:48:58.760 --> 0:49:01.320
<v Speaker 1>put a couple of bucks on Kind's uh kinseler and

0:49:01.400 --> 0:49:03.799
<v Speaker 1>then hopefully you get maybe a handful of saves out

0:49:03.840 --> 0:49:05.520
<v Speaker 1>of him. But Seek is the guy I would try

0:49:05.600 --> 0:49:09.840
<v Speaker 1>to spend on right now. Steve potentially the favorite, although

0:49:09.880 --> 0:49:12.480
<v Speaker 1>I don't know exactly how much that means in Chicago.

0:49:12.840 --> 0:49:16.880
<v Speaker 1>Some other starting pittures specifically, we could have figured out yesterday.

0:49:16.920 --> 0:49:20.120
<v Speaker 1>But you Darvish, Yeah, you know, ruined it. Oh God,

0:49:20.280 --> 0:49:22.759
<v Speaker 1>don't even get me starved. If he goes an inning

0:49:22.840 --> 0:49:25.040
<v Speaker 1>or two longer, they probably treated like a normal game

0:49:25.080 --> 0:49:27.919
<v Speaker 1>instead of having Mike Montgomery come in for for five

0:49:27.960 --> 0:49:30.799
<v Speaker 1>innings in a safe situation, like it was a safe

0:49:30.800 --> 0:49:33.279
<v Speaker 1>situation in the ninth. Then they left Montgomery in. Yeah,

0:49:33.280 --> 0:49:34.880
<v Speaker 1>and I don't blame him for doing that at all.

0:49:34.920 --> 0:49:37.839
<v Speaker 1>I Greg, I watched this entire start yesterday. You were

0:49:37.840 --> 0:49:40.320
<v Speaker 1>working very hard yesterday. Yeah, come on, you know I

0:49:40.400 --> 0:49:42.480
<v Speaker 1>was eating my lunch. I needed something to do, so

0:49:42.800 --> 0:49:45.160
<v Speaker 1>I was a quick two and a half hour lunch.

0:49:45.239 --> 0:49:51.320
<v Speaker 1>You want to throw pitches through four innings against the

0:49:51.400 --> 0:49:56.160
<v Speaker 1>Miami Marlins, he walked the opposing picture. Is there anything

0:49:56.280 --> 0:50:00.239
<v Speaker 1>more frustrating, Greg? Then watching a start in baseball, your

0:50:00.360 --> 0:50:04.080
<v Speaker 1>picture in fantasy baseball walks the opposing picture? What is

0:50:04.120 --> 0:50:09.279
<v Speaker 1>more frustrating than that? Oh? Wait, crickets sucks like six

0:50:09.440 --> 0:50:13.120
<v Speaker 1>walksches against the Marlins. And the last time he faced

0:50:13.160 --> 0:50:15.239
<v Speaker 1>the Marlins in Marlins Park, he was really good. He

0:50:15.320 --> 0:50:18.200
<v Speaker 1>was unhittable. Yesterday he only gave up one hit. That's

0:50:18.200 --> 0:50:21.799
<v Speaker 1>what you'd expect against the Marlins. But he walks six batters. Man,

0:50:22.000 --> 0:50:24.239
<v Speaker 1>I'm getting close to the close of the edge here

0:50:24.520 --> 0:50:26.640
<v Speaker 1>with you, darvish. Greg. I'm not gonna drop him yet,

0:50:26.920 --> 0:50:31.239
<v Speaker 1>but dude, Like, there's nobody more frustrating than to watch

0:50:31.640 --> 0:50:33.759
<v Speaker 1>in baseball right now? Is a starting picture. I had

0:50:33.800 --> 0:50:36.160
<v Speaker 1>a few writing votes yesterday for Noah' syndergard. I can

0:50:36.160 --> 0:50:39.160
<v Speaker 1>see why that's frustrating, But dude, you Darvis just an

0:50:39.160 --> 0:50:41.759
<v Speaker 1>absolute mess. Mike. If you owned you Darvish, even in

0:50:41.840 --> 0:50:46.479
<v Speaker 1>a twelve team league, would you drop him. It's very close.

0:50:46.600 --> 0:50:48.799
<v Speaker 1>I'm getting to the point where you are. I don't

0:50:48.840 --> 0:50:51.280
<v Speaker 1>think I'm there yet, but it's getting closer. I understand

0:50:51.320 --> 0:50:53.240
<v Speaker 1>that the upside is still there because he's still getting

0:50:53.239 --> 0:50:56.319
<v Speaker 1>a ton of strikeouts, but the command is shaky, man.

0:50:56.400 --> 0:50:59.000
<v Speaker 1>It's it's the reason why, like I put on Twitter yesterday,

0:50:59.080 --> 0:51:01.920
<v Speaker 1>like as we like Shrevior richards Man, and the upside

0:51:01.960 --> 0:51:03.759
<v Speaker 1>is there. He's getting a lot of swinging strikes. He's

0:51:03.760 --> 0:51:05.840
<v Speaker 1>still getting the strikeouts that you like to see, but

0:51:06.239 --> 0:51:08.920
<v Speaker 1>the command is just so bad. It just it prevents

0:51:09.000 --> 0:51:10.919
<v Speaker 1>them from going deep into games, and it kills your whip.

0:51:11.000 --> 0:51:13.120
<v Speaker 1>And it's just it's getting to the point where if

0:51:13.160 --> 0:51:15.640
<v Speaker 1>you have that poor commanded, it's really hard to roster

0:51:15.760 --> 0:51:18.400
<v Speaker 1>you and start with any sort of confidence. And here's

0:51:18.400 --> 0:51:20.439
<v Speaker 1>the thing with Darvis do too. If you watch the start,

0:51:20.480 --> 0:51:24.000
<v Speaker 1>he's throw per hour. Greg. It's not a matter of

0:51:24.440 --> 0:51:26.400
<v Speaker 1>like we have concerns about the stuff. He still has

0:51:26.440 --> 0:51:28.360
<v Speaker 1>a ton of movement on his pitches. He has no

0:51:28.520 --> 0:51:30.719
<v Speaker 1>idea where they're going at all. That's the biggest issue.

0:51:30.719 --> 0:51:33.200
<v Speaker 1>You watch him like wipe out sliders. Still it'll go

0:51:33.280 --> 0:51:34.920
<v Speaker 1>from one side and strikes one all the way to

0:51:34.960 --> 0:51:37.560
<v Speaker 1>the other side. He has a cutter that that showed

0:51:37.600 --> 0:51:40.440
<v Speaker 1>good movement yesterday too. He just has absolutely no idea

0:51:40.640 --> 0:51:43.719
<v Speaker 1>where any of these pictures. I have a theory, so

0:51:43.840 --> 0:51:45.960
<v Speaker 1>you know, like how picture moved, Like the ball is

0:51:46.000 --> 0:51:48.279
<v Speaker 1>moving more than like ever with this new ball, Like

0:51:49.040 --> 0:51:51.640
<v Speaker 1>like the stuff that pictures can do is like otherworldly. Now.

0:51:52.440 --> 0:51:55.680
<v Speaker 1>I think batters if they like, they're just not chasing

0:51:55.719 --> 0:51:57.600
<v Speaker 1>anymore because they know, like, hey, I have no chance.

0:51:57.680 --> 0:51:59.640
<v Speaker 1>Like I'm not saying no batters are chasing, but with

0:51:59.760 --> 0:52:02.280
<v Speaker 1>certain in pictures, like it feels like with Trevor Bauer,

0:52:02.400 --> 0:52:04.760
<v Speaker 1>like his stuff is so filthy, but he's walking everyone

0:52:04.800 --> 0:52:07.480
<v Speaker 1>every game because people are just swinging less. And I

0:52:07.600 --> 0:52:09.520
<v Speaker 1>feel like that might be a philosophy when it comes

0:52:09.600 --> 0:52:11.680
<v Speaker 1>to some of these more you know, these pictures that

0:52:11.719 --> 0:52:14.920
<v Speaker 1>have elite movement on their pitches. This is an interesting

0:52:15.000 --> 0:52:18.920
<v Speaker 1>theory because this is something that we've talked about multiple

0:52:18.960 --> 0:52:20.800
<v Speaker 1>times to see Trevor Bauer being one of them, and

0:52:20.840 --> 0:52:22.720
<v Speaker 1>I've said that like at times, I think he's almost

0:52:22.719 --> 0:52:24.960
<v Speaker 1>trying to do too much. Is some of these guys

0:52:25.040 --> 0:52:28.200
<v Speaker 1>that have filthy stuff. It just came throw it for strikes, Greg.

0:52:28.800 --> 0:52:30.640
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. Maybe it's part of like the ball

0:52:30.719 --> 0:52:32.480
<v Speaker 1>that they're using right now, like part of the juice ball.

0:52:32.520 --> 0:52:35.080
<v Speaker 1>Like you would have to do like some kind of

0:52:35.600 --> 0:52:39.279
<v Speaker 1>scientific experience, something that's outside of like my hands or

0:52:39.400 --> 0:52:42.240
<v Speaker 1>your hands, obviously, but like someone like you know, Sarah's

0:52:42.239 --> 0:52:46.560
<v Speaker 1>could probably figure it out. But it's it's an interesting

0:52:46.640 --> 0:52:48.560
<v Speaker 1>theory because this isn't the first time that I've said

0:52:48.600 --> 0:52:50.400
<v Speaker 1>this about a picture of this year. It seems like

0:52:50.440 --> 0:52:53.719
<v Speaker 1>there's almost too much movement with pitches, which is weird.

0:52:54.680 --> 0:52:58.319
<v Speaker 1>So anyways, you're not driving you darvish quite yet. Very

0:52:58.360 --> 0:53:00.680
<v Speaker 1>clear to bring it back home, trying to help the

0:53:00.719 --> 0:53:05.640
<v Speaker 1>people out, very close, Greg, fair enough starters to pick

0:53:05.760 --> 0:53:08.600
<v Speaker 1>up for this week is specifically this weekend. A lot

0:53:08.640 --> 0:53:10.000
<v Speaker 1>of the guys am about to give you all start

0:53:10.080 --> 0:53:11.800
<v Speaker 1>on Sunday, Mike, I want you to rank them for me.

0:53:12.760 --> 0:53:14.840
<v Speaker 1>You know who you want to both just start on

0:53:14.920 --> 0:53:17.480
<v Speaker 1>Sunday and then kind of pick up for you know,

0:53:17.600 --> 0:53:19.759
<v Speaker 1>the immediate future, not forever. I don't worry about that.

0:53:20.239 --> 0:53:22.560
<v Speaker 1>I just noticed one of them on this list. Can

0:53:22.600 --> 0:53:24.560
<v Speaker 1>you tell me the matchups? But I'm pretty sure it's

0:53:24.560 --> 0:53:27.400
<v Speaker 1>not gonna matter. But can you still tell me the matchup?

0:53:27.719 --> 0:53:29.520
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. Yes, of course I can do that.

0:53:29.800 --> 0:53:31.239
<v Speaker 1>Let me let me just pull it up here, Just

0:53:31.280 --> 0:53:32.880
<v Speaker 1>give me a second. The first name is gonna be

0:53:32.920 --> 0:53:37.320
<v Speaker 1>John means, um all right, I'm pulling up the matchups.

0:53:37.360 --> 0:53:40.400
<v Speaker 1>Hang on one second. John means going up against the Angels, right,

0:53:40.440 --> 0:53:45.240
<v Speaker 1>so John means against the Angels. Lucas Giolito against Toronto, Toronto,

0:53:45.840 --> 0:53:49.680
<v Speaker 1>still against Toronto. That's just it's not wrong. Alright, Fine,

0:53:50.800 --> 0:53:53.080
<v Speaker 1>you have some pictures like to pitch at home. Ye

0:53:53.080 --> 0:53:58.200
<v Speaker 1>have Free Rodriguez at Oakland, so you know it's at Oakland.

0:53:58.600 --> 0:54:02.680
<v Speaker 1>Just in case you were wondering. Daniel Norris in Minnesota.

0:54:04.000 --> 0:54:09.520
<v Speaker 1>He's at Minnesota. They're very clear. Uh, Ivan Nova his

0:54:09.600 --> 0:54:13.160
<v Speaker 1>best start of the year. Um Eva Nova is facing

0:54:13.280 --> 0:54:16.880
<v Speaker 1>Toronto in Toronto. Why is he on this list? He

0:54:17.239 --> 0:54:19.960
<v Speaker 1>should not? Might be looking for a streamer this week, gentlemen. Yeah,

0:54:20.000 --> 0:54:22.239
<v Speaker 1>that's like that's like recommending Matt Harvey at this point,

0:54:22.600 --> 0:54:28.879
<v Speaker 1>Michael Pineda against Detroit at home. I so you threw

0:54:28.960 --> 0:54:30.840
<v Speaker 1>some names out there that weren't on the rundown, but

0:54:32.520 --> 0:54:36.680
<v Speaker 1>so to me, there's two that stand above everyone else,

0:54:36.719 --> 0:54:39.680
<v Speaker 1>and it's means in Geelito. Like after that, then yeah,

0:54:39.719 --> 0:54:41.680
<v Speaker 1>we could put like Dania, Norris and Pinata there like

0:54:41.680 --> 0:54:43.400
<v Speaker 1>I even Nova I grew with Frank shouldn't be on

0:54:43.480 --> 0:54:47.000
<v Speaker 1>this list. I forget the other name that you you added, yes,

0:54:47.239 --> 0:54:51.239
<v Speaker 1>wasn't on he's below means like to me, it's means

0:54:51.280 --> 0:54:53.520
<v Speaker 1>in Gelto and then it's the other guys. Okay, I

0:54:53.719 --> 0:54:55.600
<v Speaker 1>agree with that too. I'd rank to Leto number one,

0:54:56.160 --> 0:54:58.919
<v Speaker 1>not only for the matchup because but for the long

0:54:59.040 --> 0:55:01.800
<v Speaker 1>term upside. I still has to figure out the walk issues,

0:55:01.840 --> 0:55:03.360
<v Speaker 1>but is getting a lot more swings and mrs this

0:55:03.440 --> 0:55:05.600
<v Speaker 1>year and getting a ton of strikeouts. I know his

0:55:05.680 --> 0:55:07.600
<v Speaker 1>last start, we spoke about it the other day. He

0:55:07.880 --> 0:55:10.759
<v Speaker 1>was basically fastball changeup and it worked out quite well

0:55:10.800 --> 0:55:13.280
<v Speaker 1>for him. He only used four breaking pitches in that start.

0:55:13.320 --> 0:55:15.279
<v Speaker 1>So I would rank Gelto ahead of means what I

0:55:15.360 --> 0:55:18.399
<v Speaker 1>like means as well. We'll also face Cleveland next week,

0:55:18.440 --> 0:55:20.360
<v Speaker 1>which is a pretty good matchup if you're looking towards

0:55:20.520 --> 0:55:27.080
<v Speaker 1>the future, Greg, the what are you gelto over means?

0:55:27.160 --> 0:55:30.000
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, gelto to me, he is a twenty nine

0:55:30.040 --> 0:55:32.840
<v Speaker 1>point two percent strikeout right right now, and as of yesterday,

0:55:32.920 --> 0:55:35.640
<v Speaker 1>heading into Thursday's games, there was only I believe sixteen

0:55:35.719 --> 0:55:38.960
<v Speaker 1>pitchers that had a thirty percent swinging strike rate, and

0:55:39.080 --> 0:55:41.359
<v Speaker 1>it's littered with big name aces, like even guys who

0:55:41.400 --> 0:55:43.600
<v Speaker 1>haven't pitched will but are still getting a ton of strikeouts,

0:55:43.640 --> 0:55:45.960
<v Speaker 1>like you know, like uh, like Noah Syndergarten and those

0:55:45.960 --> 0:55:49.000
<v Speaker 1>guys like so to me to be in that group

0:55:49.080 --> 0:55:51.120
<v Speaker 1>with a lot of these you know, a split pictures

0:55:51.160 --> 0:55:53.880
<v Speaker 1>and then these other breakout pictures like Caleb Smith and

0:55:54.200 --> 0:55:56.920
<v Speaker 1>and uh Chris Paddock and those guys. So to be

0:55:57.120 --> 0:55:59.560
<v Speaker 1>right on there with a strikeout rate that gets my attention.

0:55:59.680 --> 0:56:02.319
<v Speaker 1>And additionally, he's also his hard hit rate is low,

0:56:02.760 --> 0:56:05.239
<v Speaker 1>his fly ball rate is low, and he's getting more

0:56:05.280 --> 0:56:07.920
<v Speaker 1>groundballs than he really ever has. So I think you

0:56:08.000 --> 0:56:10.839
<v Speaker 1>guys know, I've never been a gelego guy with completely

0:56:11.000 --> 0:56:12.759
<v Speaker 1>off of him. Last year, I thought he was the

0:56:12.800 --> 0:56:14.920
<v Speaker 1>worst pitcher in baseball all year last year, but he's

0:56:14.920 --> 0:56:17.160
<v Speaker 1>pitching different this year. He's pitching well. I would be

0:56:17.360 --> 0:56:19.080
<v Speaker 1>inclined to take a chance on him before any of

0:56:19.120 --> 0:56:21.680
<v Speaker 1>those other guys taking a shot here on ge Alito

0:56:21.960 --> 0:56:24.960
<v Speaker 1>rather than John Means in twelve teen leagues we picked

0:56:25.000 --> 0:56:27.920
<v Speaker 1>him up. Is that like the kind of area where okay,

0:56:28.600 --> 0:56:30.120
<v Speaker 1>right for both of you guys when it comes to

0:56:30.160 --> 0:56:33.799
<v Speaker 1>gelato and then Johnny Means we mentioned earlier this week,

0:56:34.400 --> 0:56:37.000
<v Speaker 1>where did they break? When we come back, we have

0:56:37.160 --> 0:56:39.560
<v Speaker 1>a bit of us a surprise, a minor surprise. I'd say,

0:56:39.960 --> 0:56:42.160
<v Speaker 1>we're gonna go over some two star pitchers. We're gonna

0:56:42.160 --> 0:56:43.800
<v Speaker 1>go over more players to drop. We're gonna have a

0:56:44.320 --> 0:56:48.040
<v Speaker 1>drop Joe Musgrove conversation. Potentially. We'll see where where that

0:56:48.120 --> 0:56:50.719
<v Speaker 1>kind of leads us. And again I'm MANI surprised, right,

0:56:51.600 --> 0:56:54.000
<v Speaker 1>it's just just just a mini surprise. Yeah, it's not

0:56:54.200 --> 0:56:58.680
<v Speaker 1>nothing too crazy, nothing wild. See what happens, you know? Yeah, alright,

0:56:58.920 --> 0:57:02.160
<v Speaker 1>so we'll do that on the other side. By Floria,

0:57:02.239 --> 0:57:04.520
<v Speaker 1>it's been a it's been a pleasure, my friend. Thank
