1
00:00:08,400 --> 00:00:11,760
Speaker 1: And Hi know it everybody. Hello, Hello, Welcome to another

2
00:00:11,800 --> 00:00:15,040
Speaker 1: episode of Monster Territory, brought to you by the Foul

3
00:00:15,160 --> 00:00:18,799
Speaker 1: Territory Network. It's been a few days since we've been here.

4
00:00:18,880 --> 00:00:20,440
Speaker 1: You know, we're just trying to get through the beginning

5
00:00:20,440 --> 00:00:23,560
Speaker 1: of spring training. It's always a little slow at the

6
00:00:23,560 --> 00:00:26,040
Speaker 1: beginning of spring training, but you know, we're starting to

7
00:00:26,040 --> 00:00:28,920
Speaker 1: see those storylines develop, right you know, obviously we knew

8
00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:31,920
Speaker 1: about Rafael Devers third base DH what's it going to

9
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:34,200
Speaker 1: be for him? You got the young guys in camp

10
00:00:34,320 --> 00:00:37,760
Speaker 1: Roman Anthony, Christian Campbell, Marcelo Meyer. You know, could one

11
00:00:37,800 --> 00:00:41,440
Speaker 1: of those guys win a roster spot on opening day?

12
00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:43,120
Speaker 1: You know, we even got something at the back end

13
00:00:43,159 --> 00:00:46,600
Speaker 1: of the rotation right now, obviously, Brian Bayo, Cutter Crawford

14
00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:49,760
Speaker 1: still you know, working themselves along, trying to get caught

15
00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:53,000
Speaker 1: up here. But could maybe someone like Richard Fitz or

16
00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:56,760
Speaker 1: Quinn Priester grab a spot in the rotation for opening days.

17
00:00:56,760 --> 00:00:58,880
Speaker 1: So there are some things that we're paying attention to

18
00:00:59,040 --> 00:01:02,000
Speaker 1: here so you can and help us get through the

19
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:05,520
Speaker 1: beginning of spring training. I'm gonna go through some hot

20
00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:08,720
Speaker 1: takes that all of you at home submitted to me,

21
00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:11,800
Speaker 1: so what this is. You know, every once in a while,

22
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:14,320
Speaker 1: I'll go on Twitter or I'll go on the community

23
00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:17,440
Speaker 1: tab on the channel and I'll say, hey, give me

24
00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:20,679
Speaker 1: a hot take, you know, give me something spicy, you know,

25
00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:23,000
Speaker 1: tell me something that you think is gonna happen, you know,

26
00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:25,480
Speaker 1: give me a prediction, give me a thought, whatever it

27
00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:27,960
Speaker 1: may be, and I'm going to react to it. Give

28
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:29,640
Speaker 1: you my thoughts. I'm gonna let you know if I

29
00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:32,520
Speaker 1: buy it, if I sell it. It's always a pretty

30
00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:35,440
Speaker 1: good time. We're gonna do this a bit this year.

31
00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:38,880
Speaker 1: It's always fun to hear your thoughts at home, and

32
00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:42,200
Speaker 1: you know we're gonna be doing postgame coverage throughout the season.

33
00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:45,200
Speaker 1: But you know, as the season goes on and as

34
00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:48,880
Speaker 1: it develops, it's always great to hear your thoughts at home.

35
00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:51,760
Speaker 1: But before we do dive into the hot takes, we

36
00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:54,480
Speaker 1: do have a word from our sponsor. I'm gonna let

69
00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:27,400
Speaker 1: if you are with us on YouTube, you can obviously

70
00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:31,040
Speaker 1: see that I have the hot take on the screen.

71
00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:35,320
Speaker 1: This is from Matt Cote on Twitter. He says, here,

72
00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:40,920
Speaker 1: Marcelo Meyer leapfrogs both Christian Campbell and Roman Anthony to

73
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:45,360
Speaker 1: be the prospect again and makes an impact on the

74
00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:48,040
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five Red Sox. I mean, hey, you know,

75
00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:50,560
Speaker 1: go back a few years ago, Marcelo Meyer, you know,

76
00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:53,320
Speaker 1: he was considered the top prospect in the Red Sox system.

77
00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:55,480
Speaker 1: But things have happened over the last couple of years,

78
00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:58,160
Speaker 1: you know, Roman Anthony, Christian Campbell, I mean, they have

79
00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:01,920
Speaker 1: just completely broke blown the roof off of the place

80
00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:05,000
Speaker 1: over the last couple of years. And Marcella Meyer, you know,

81
00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:07,520
Speaker 1: he's dealt with some injuries over the last couple of years.

82
00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:11,200
Speaker 1: His season ended short last year after a back injury.

83
00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:14,240
Speaker 1: But so far this spring, you know, he's looking pretty

84
00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:17,880
Speaker 1: good here. Seventeen abs, hitting two ninety four, has a

85
00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:21,080
Speaker 1: three sixty eight on base a nine fifty six ops

86
00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:24,559
Speaker 1: overall had a great game against Detroit not too long ago,

87
00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:27,600
Speaker 1: had a homer, had a triple in that game. Now,

88
00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:30,240
Speaker 1: when it comes to this take, I'm gonna have to

89
00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:34,200
Speaker 1: sell on this one because you know, to me, Roman Anthony,

90
00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:37,320
Speaker 1: no one's leap frogging that guy. This guy, to me

91
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:40,440
Speaker 1: is just he already looks ready. I mean, listen, maybe

92
00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:45,279
Speaker 1: I'm overreacting just a smidge, but looking at Roman Anthony

93
00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:47,920
Speaker 1: at the plate so far this spring. Again, it's a

94
00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:51,320
Speaker 1: very small sample size, but there's just something about the

95
00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:54,680
Speaker 1: guy at the plate, the way he's working the counts.

96
00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:56,839
Speaker 1: I mean, my goodness, is on base percentage is five

97
00:04:56,960 --> 00:05:00,960
Speaker 1: hundred so far. This guy's an absolute mad man. The

98
00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:03,960
Speaker 1: plate discipline is off the charts with Anthony. And you know,

99
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:06,520
Speaker 1: we all know what he can do with the bat.

100
00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:09,080
Speaker 1: I mean, all the tools are there. He can hit

101
00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:11,960
Speaker 1: for average, he hits for power. I just don't think

102
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:15,560
Speaker 1: anyone is gonna be leap frogging Roman Anthony. To me,

103
00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:19,800
Speaker 1: Marcella Meyer, I feel like him and Christian Campbell in

104
00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:22,479
Speaker 1: the end could be pretty even. Right, Christian Campbell, he

105
00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:26,120
Speaker 1: is off to a pretty slow start this spring so far.

106
00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:29,600
Speaker 1: You know, a very hot name coming into the spring, right,

107
00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:31,880
Speaker 1: A lot of talk about him maybe being the second basement,

108
00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:35,679
Speaker 1: and you know, things haven't quite worked out so far. Again,

109
00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:38,679
Speaker 1: it is very early, but he's only hitting zero sixty

110
00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:41,599
Speaker 1: seven with a three point thirty oh ps through fifteen

111
00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:45,040
Speaker 1: ab so far. You know this guy, I mean, obviously,

112
00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:48,760
Speaker 1: let's we're not gonna worry about this Christian Campbell. My goodness.

113
00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:51,640
Speaker 1: I mean what we saw last year in the minor leagues.

114
00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:54,640
Speaker 1: The numbers were just off the charts with him. But

115
00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:57,279
Speaker 1: just the bat speed, the plate discipline that he showed

116
00:05:57,320 --> 00:05:59,520
Speaker 1: as well, this guy is gonna be the real deal.

117
00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:02,400
Speaker 1: I'm very excited for Christian Campbell. But I think right

118
00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:05,000
Speaker 1: now he could be pressing a little bit. You know,

119
00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:08,040
Speaker 1: when you have all of this pressure on you coming

120
00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:11,279
Speaker 1: into the spring, or everyone's talking about you maybe being

121
00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:14,039
Speaker 1: the opening day second basement for the Red Sox, I

122
00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:17,960
Speaker 1: can imagine he is pressing just a little bit. Wouldn't

123
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:20,160
Speaker 1: be surprised about that. I think it's gonna take him

124
00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:23,599
Speaker 1: a little bit to get himself going. But Marcela Meyer,

125
00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:26,240
Speaker 1: obviously he's showing a lot right now. We all know

126
00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:29,279
Speaker 1: the talents there. It's just a matter of him staying

127
00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:31,440
Speaker 1: on the field at this point that I think is

128
00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:34,080
Speaker 1: gonna be the biggest thing for him this year is

129
00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:39,479
Speaker 1: just stay healthy. Availability is a fantastic stat at the

130
00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:42,719
Speaker 1: end of the day. As Tom Brady always used to say,

131
00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:45,520
Speaker 1: I do think in the end, Roman Anthony is gonna

132
00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:48,719
Speaker 1: end up emerging as the top guy out of this

133
00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:51,680
Speaker 1: crop right now. And I think Meyer and Campbell they're

134
00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:54,160
Speaker 1: both gonna bring a lot of good things to the table.

135
00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:58,560
Speaker 1: But I again I'm gonna sell on this one. I

136
00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:02,680
Speaker 1: don't think Roman Anthony is gonna get leap frogged this

137
00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:06,800
Speaker 1: at all by you know, by Meyer or Campbell at

138
00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:11,040
Speaker 1: this point. But when it comes to making an impact,

139
00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:13,720
Speaker 1: I think Marcella Meyer could make an impact with the

140
00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:15,920
Speaker 1: Red Sox this year. I mean, he has been playing

141
00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:19,040
Speaker 1: some other positions right third base, you know, so you

142
00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:22,000
Speaker 1: never know what could end up happening, especially you know

143
00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:25,280
Speaker 1: what's gonna happen with Raphael Devers, you know, moving to

144
00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:28,920
Speaker 1: d h H. You know Bregman playing third, He's gonna

145
00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:31,800
Speaker 1: play second, whatever it may be. But then you think

146
00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:34,120
Speaker 1: you're Trevor Story and this guy hasn't been able to

147
00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:37,840
Speaker 1: stay on the field since he's come to Boston, you know,

148
00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:40,640
Speaker 1: so who knows what ends up happening with him. If

149
00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:42,920
Speaker 1: something happens with him, you know, Marcella Meyer is going

150
00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:44,760
Speaker 1: to be next in line, and that could be a

151
00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:48,760
Speaker 1: huge opportunity for him to take advantage. Again, I love

152
00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:51,360
Speaker 1: the talent of Marcello Meyer. I think there's a lot there.

153
00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:51,720
Speaker 2: You know.

154
00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:53,640
Speaker 1: I've talked with a couple of the prospects in the

155
00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:56,640
Speaker 1: Red Sox system. I've talked with Alex Korra, and they

156
00:07:56,680 --> 00:08:00,640
Speaker 1: all share the same opinion. Just a good overall player,

157
00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:04,400
Speaker 1: just a professional player, goes about his business. He's just

158
00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:07,720
Speaker 1: very talented in all aspects of the game. Just a

159
00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:11,480
Speaker 1: well balanced player overall. I would not be surprised at

160
00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:15,640
Speaker 1: all to see Marcelo Meyer really grab the bull by

161
00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:17,600
Speaker 1: the horns this year. But again, I think a lot

162
00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:20,160
Speaker 1: of that's gonna come down to what's gonna happen with

163
00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:22,520
Speaker 1: Trevor Story. You know, what's gonna happen with the health

164
00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:26,520
Speaker 1: in the infield. But again, Marcela Meyer, there is a

165
00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:30,480
Speaker 1: lot to like with him. Now let's move on to

166
00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:33,840
Speaker 1: the next hot take, shall we. Let's move on to

167
00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:37,480
Speaker 1: the next hot take, we have g MAGS nine to

168
00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:41,640
Speaker 1: five O two. He left this on the YouTube channel.

169
00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:46,480
Speaker 1: He says, here, Roman Anthony and Christian Campbell combine for

170
00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:50,480
Speaker 1: a six F war in twenty twenty five. Now you

171
00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:53,240
Speaker 1: all know how I feel about Roman Anthony. I think

172
00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:56,120
Speaker 1: this guy the sky is the limit for this guy

173
00:08:56,520 --> 00:08:58,840
Speaker 1: and then some I wouldn't be surprised at all if

174
00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:01,839
Speaker 1: Roman Anthony makes an impact with the Red Sox this year.

175
00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:04,920
Speaker 1: I could see him, you know, maybe even in that

176
00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:08,920
Speaker 1: two to three f wour range, maybe even more. You know,

177
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:11,880
Speaker 1: it kind of gives me Jackson merriw vibes a little

178
00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:14,400
Speaker 1: bit from last year with the Padres or even you know,

179
00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:17,960
Speaker 1: Jackson Curio. I think Rome and Anthony can have that

180
00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:20,800
Speaker 1: impact that those guys had for their teams last year.

181
00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:23,080
Speaker 1: I really think that I wouldn't be surprised at all

182
00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:26,840
Speaker 1: to see Anthony get a shot at some point, especially

183
00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:29,080
Speaker 1: you don't know what's gonna happen here with Willy or Bray.

184
00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:32,480
Speaker 1: You know, yes, he is finally overcoming the illness, uh,

185
00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:36,280
Speaker 1: the gascro and intestinal stuff that he was going through. Uh,

186
00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:38,800
Speaker 1: it looks like he's starting to come around a little bit.

187
00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:41,960
Speaker 1: But again you know, his spring got off to a

188
00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:43,839
Speaker 1: bit of a weird start. We saw this with von

189
00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:47,360
Speaker 1: Grissom last year and we all saw what happened there.

190
00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:50,520
Speaker 1: Right also had the groin injury, and it was basically

191
00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:53,960
Speaker 1: a forgotten season for Von Grissom. I ended up, you know,

192
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:56,880
Speaker 1: coming back later on. But who knows what could happen

193
00:09:56,920 --> 00:09:59,079
Speaker 1: with Willi or Bray. You know, we all love Willier,

194
00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:01,800
Speaker 1: but you know, you know, we've got to be realistic

195
00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:03,640
Speaker 1: at the same time. You know, is he gonna be

196
00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:07,360
Speaker 1: able to be you know, ready for opening Day? You know,

197
00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:10,120
Speaker 1: is he gonna be okay, you know, getting caught up

198
00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:13,240
Speaker 1: to speed, you know, with this talented major league pitching

199
00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:16,760
Speaker 1: that's in the game today, you know, he's got to

200
00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:19,400
Speaker 1: get his reps, he's got to get his routine, and hey,

201
00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:21,800
Speaker 1: he's got to rebuild that strength. He lost some weight

202
00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:25,000
Speaker 1: on that illness. He seems to be more optimistic, but

203
00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:28,960
Speaker 1: than Alex Cora Cora, he seems to be proceeding with

204
00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:32,000
Speaker 1: caution there. And because again we saw it with Grissom

205
00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:33,800
Speaker 1: last year. You know, We've seen it with so many

206
00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:36,600
Speaker 1: players over the years, where you know, if they get

207
00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:39,199
Speaker 1: off to a slow start in spring, you know whether

208
00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:43,160
Speaker 1: that's due you know, to something you know in game,

209
00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:48,199
Speaker 1: you know, mechanically or just physically. So I think it's interesting,

210
00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:50,360
Speaker 1: that's something to pay attention to. But I do think

211
00:10:50,559 --> 00:10:53,680
Speaker 1: Roman Anthony has a great chance to make an impact

212
00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:57,000
Speaker 1: with the Red Sox this year. But for Christian Campbell,

213
00:10:57,559 --> 00:10:59,800
Speaker 1: you know, I do wonder, you know, I just wonder

214
00:10:59,840 --> 00:11:03,200
Speaker 1: if maybe there was just so much hype, you know,

215
00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:06,160
Speaker 1: coming in because obviously this guy was just red hot

216
00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:09,360
Speaker 1: last year. The entire year, this guy was just wrecking

217
00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:11,840
Speaker 1: everything in his path. But you know, is he gonna

218
00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:13,840
Speaker 1: have to go through some adjustments this year? You know,

219
00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:17,720
Speaker 1: there were some tiny concerns when it came to the

220
00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:20,760
Speaker 1: swing mechanics with him, you know, so could there be

221
00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:23,800
Speaker 1: some adjustments this coming year with Campbell? You know and

222
00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:26,360
Speaker 1: just mentally as well? You know, what's that gonna look like.

223
00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:29,080
Speaker 1: I just think all the talent is there with Campbell.

224
00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:31,960
Speaker 1: I think he's gonna be a very talented player. I'm

225
00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:36,760
Speaker 1: probably gonna sell on this one. I could see them

226
00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:39,440
Speaker 1: maybe combining, you know, for something in the four to

227
00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:43,640
Speaker 1: five range, but six that is definitely high. I would

228
00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:45,880
Speaker 1: love to see that, But I'm gonna go a bit

229
00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:49,200
Speaker 1: more safe there. I say they combine for something in

230
00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:52,480
Speaker 1: that four to five range. Six, I'd love to see it.

231
00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:55,080
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's gonna happen though, but man,

232
00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:57,600
Speaker 1: oh man, the fact that we're talking about that though,

233
00:11:58,080 --> 00:12:01,080
Speaker 1: it's just exciting times, you know, love of talking about

234
00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:03,719
Speaker 1: all these young players that could come up and contribute.

235
00:12:04,679 --> 00:12:06,920
Speaker 1: Moving on here, let's get to the next hot tak.

236
00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:09,520
Speaker 1: This is from Landon Rodriguez on Twitter. One of the

237
00:12:09,559 --> 00:12:14,280
Speaker 1: Red Sox Big three gets traded at the deadline for

238
00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:17,800
Speaker 1: a big name to help make a playoff push. So, yes,

239
00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:20,160
Speaker 1: we're going very heavy on the prospects right now because

240
00:12:20,160 --> 00:12:22,800
Speaker 1: we're excited about the prospects now. You know, let's say,

241
00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:26,560
Speaker 1: hypothetically speaking, okay, let's say the Red Sox are in

242
00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:29,200
Speaker 1: the mix, you know, for the division, you know, or

243
00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:32,280
Speaker 1: they got a firm grasp on a wild card spot

244
00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:35,000
Speaker 1: at that time, which with the way the roster is

245
00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:38,440
Speaker 1: constructed right now, I think either one of those is

246
00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:42,280
Speaker 1: very possible. Now, if you're looking at let's say, the

247
00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:45,000
Speaker 1: pitching side of things, right you're looking at guys like

248
00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:49,840
Speaker 1: Sandy Alkintara, Dylan Cees, Michael King that could become available,

249
00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:52,640
Speaker 1: you know, honestly. Dylan Cce remember, you know he got

250
00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:56,680
Speaker 1: moved last year right before Opening Day. You know, could

251
00:12:56,679 --> 00:12:59,080
Speaker 1: that happen again. He has been in the rumor mill

252
00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:02,720
Speaker 1: this off season. Could they move him before the season starts.

253
00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:05,760
Speaker 1: I think that's possible. Michael King as well, maybe, but

254
00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:08,120
Speaker 1: you know, these are a few big names. When it

255
00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:10,400
Speaker 1: comes to the pitching side of things, I would think

256
00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:13,160
Speaker 1: if the Red Sox is going to add anything at

257
00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:16,199
Speaker 1: the deadline, I think it's gonna be pitching. Right When

258
00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:19,200
Speaker 1: it comes to the offense, you know, yeah, there definitely

259
00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:22,200
Speaker 1: could be some bats out there, But I just really

260
00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:24,960
Speaker 1: like the way the position player side of things is

261
00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:27,080
Speaker 1: looking right now for the Red Sox, and especially with

262
00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:29,920
Speaker 1: all the young talent they have. I don't think a bat,

263
00:13:30,080 --> 00:13:31,920
Speaker 1: or at least a big name bat, is going to

264
00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:33,679
Speaker 1: be something they look for. I think it's more likely

265
00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:35,640
Speaker 1: you're going to see something on the pitching side of things.

266
00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:38,640
Speaker 1: Like I mentioned, got some starters here. Al Katara sees

267
00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:41,520
Speaker 1: Michael King or maybe something for the bullpen, someone like

268
00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:44,040
Speaker 1: Ryan Helsley. He's gonna be a free agent after this

269
00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:46,760
Speaker 1: coming year. I could definitely see Ryan Helsley as a

270
00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:49,000
Speaker 1: target for the Red Sox. There are some question marks

271
00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:52,760
Speaker 1: with the bullpen right now. But would it take one

272
00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:55,679
Speaker 1: of the Big Three to acquire one of these guys? Well,

273
00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:58,280
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say this right now, Dylan ces Michael King. No,

274
00:13:58,760 --> 00:13:59,920
Speaker 1: you would not have to give up one of the

275
00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:02,920
Speaker 1: Big Three. That would be just ridiculous because they would be,

276
00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:05,920
Speaker 1: you know, a rental for a couple of months. Now.

277
00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:09,640
Speaker 1: Maybe Sandy all Kintara, right he has a little bit

278
00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:13,400
Speaker 1: of control here. He's not a free agent until well

279
00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:16,080
Speaker 1: probably after the twenty twenty seven season. He has a

280
00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:18,199
Speaker 1: club option for that year, so you got a lot

281
00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:21,320
Speaker 1: of control left with all Kintara. And he is on

282
00:14:21,400 --> 00:14:23,680
Speaker 1: a team friendly deal right now, a five year, fifty

283
00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:27,280
Speaker 1: six million dollar deal. So could I see maybe one

284
00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:31,720
Speaker 1: of those guys being involved for all Kintara if you know,

285
00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:35,440
Speaker 1: the cookie ends up crumbling that way. I don't think

286
00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:38,400
Speaker 1: Anthony's going anywhere. There's no way that guy's getting moved,

287
00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:40,560
Speaker 1: Absolutely not. I just don't think the Red Sox are

288
00:14:40,560 --> 00:14:44,240
Speaker 1: gonna move Christian Campbell. I think they're just so high

289
00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:46,760
Speaker 1: on the guy. He has a ton of versatility. I

290
00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:50,400
Speaker 1: just don't see him going anywhere. But we're talking about

291
00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:53,880
Speaker 1: Marcello Meyer here a little bit. Now, Again, it really

292
00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:56,360
Speaker 1: comes down to what's Trevor story going to be looking like.

293
00:14:56,480 --> 00:14:59,120
Speaker 1: You know, what's the health gonna look like there, what's

294
00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:02,480
Speaker 1: the production gonna look like they're you know, if he's

295
00:15:02,520 --> 00:15:05,440
Speaker 1: doing well, if Trevor story is back to what we

296
00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:08,360
Speaker 1: thought Trevor story was going to be when he first

297
00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:11,800
Speaker 1: signed with the Red Sox, then you know, and especially

298
00:15:11,840 --> 00:15:13,640
Speaker 1: considering he has a lot of time left on the

299
00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:16,040
Speaker 1: contract he has the opt out, I don't think he's

300
00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:18,280
Speaker 1: gonna end up opting out because he has missed so

301
00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:21,360
Speaker 1: much time prior to this year, so I don't think

302
00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:22,920
Speaker 1: he's gonna opt out. So I think you're gonna have

303
00:15:23,040 --> 00:15:26,800
Speaker 1: Story for at least a few more years now. So

304
00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:31,080
Speaker 1: if he's performing well, Marcella Meyer, he's blocked. And let's

305
00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:33,200
Speaker 1: say he's performing well at Triple A, you know, could

306
00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:37,360
Speaker 1: you see potentially some kind of a deal for All

307
00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:41,080
Speaker 1: Kintara where Marcella Meyer, you know, could be a centerpiece,

308
00:15:41,160 --> 00:15:45,080
Speaker 1: maybe throwing like one mid range or maybe two mid

309
00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:47,560
Speaker 1: range prospects along with him to get a deal done

310
00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:49,520
Speaker 1: with All Kintara. And again, a lot of it comes

311
00:15:49,520 --> 00:15:51,520
Speaker 1: down to how is he gonna look as well. But

312
00:15:51,560 --> 00:15:53,840
Speaker 1: if he's looking good, if he's looking like his old self,

313
00:15:53,920 --> 00:15:56,800
Speaker 1: that workhorse kind of a guy. Yes, he is coming

314
00:15:56,840 --> 00:16:00,000
Speaker 1: back from Tommy John, but I think Sandy All can talk.

315
00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:02,840
Speaker 1: I think this guy's the real deal. I mean, this

316
00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:05,000
Speaker 1: guy's been one of the best pictures in baseball for

317
00:16:05,040 --> 00:16:08,760
Speaker 1: a while now. I could maybe see something like that,

318
00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:11,680
Speaker 1: but I'm gonna say in the end, when it comes

319
00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:14,080
Speaker 1: to this take, I don't think either of those guys

320
00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:16,520
Speaker 1: are gonna get moved. The only one I could see

321
00:16:16,520 --> 00:16:20,080
Speaker 1: getting moved is Meyer, just because you have Trevor's story.

322
00:16:20,120 --> 00:16:22,760
Speaker 1: But that's such a big if you never know how

323
00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:24,720
Speaker 1: that's gonna work out. So that's the way I'll go.

324
00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:26,680
Speaker 1: I think in the end, No, if the Red Sox

325
00:16:26,760 --> 00:16:29,920
Speaker 1: make deals, I think they're gonna end up using guys

326
00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:32,680
Speaker 1: you know outside of the top five. You know we'll

327
00:16:32,720 --> 00:16:36,040
Speaker 1: have to see on there and also be on the lookout.

328
00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:39,440
Speaker 1: We're gonna be reviewing the latest update for the Red

329
00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:42,680
Speaker 1: Sox Top thirty prospects. I'm excited to dive into that.

330
00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:45,520
Speaker 1: We're gonna have an episode on that soon, so stay

331
00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:48,720
Speaker 1: tuned for that. But let's move on here to the

332
00:16:48,760 --> 00:16:54,160
Speaker 1: next hot take. We have Ryan Martin are Martin Underscore

333
00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:58,400
Speaker 1: thirty four on Twitter. He says, here, the Red Sox

334
00:16:58,520 --> 00:17:03,040
Speaker 1: will finish the regular season with the best record in

335
00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:06,399
Speaker 1: the American League. Oh man, all right, let's get away

336
00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:10,359
Speaker 1: from the prospects here. Let's actually start diving in, you know,

337
00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:12,679
Speaker 1: to what the Red Sox could do this year. I

338
00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:15,480
Speaker 1: could go really in depth with this. There's a lot

339
00:17:15,520 --> 00:17:18,360
Speaker 1: of layers to this. But if I were to go

340
00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:23,440
Speaker 1: to right now the projected standings for this coming year,

341
00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:26,600
Speaker 1: let's pull this up here. I got Fangrafts here we're

342
00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:28,760
Speaker 1: gonna take We're gonna take a look at the projected standings.

343
00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:34,760
Speaker 1: So when it comes to the American League, it's interesting.

344
00:17:35,359 --> 00:17:37,800
Speaker 1: Right now, the Dodgers, they are projected for the best

345
00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:40,560
Speaker 1: record in all of Major League Baseball, followed up by

346
00:17:40,600 --> 00:17:43,159
Speaker 1: the Braves, you got the Phillies, and then for the

347
00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:47,280
Speaker 1: American League, they think the Yankees are gonna have the

348
00:17:47,320 --> 00:17:50,280
Speaker 1: best record. I mean, Fangrafts they tend to be more

349
00:17:50,320 --> 00:17:53,280
Speaker 1: conservative with their projections, so they have the Yankees at

350
00:17:53,320 --> 00:17:57,320
Speaker 1: eighty seven and seventy five. I think the Yankees very well.

351
00:17:58,119 --> 00:18:01,040
Speaker 1: They should be able to get anywhere from ninety to

352
00:18:01,119 --> 00:18:03,720
Speaker 1: ninety five wins. We'll see. You know the Yankees, right,

353
00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:06,239
Speaker 1: you know, losing one so to this offseason. Sure they

354
00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:08,680
Speaker 1: made some other moves, but you know they're having some

355
00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:11,359
Speaker 1: concerns right now with the health. You know, who's gonna

356
00:18:11,400 --> 00:18:13,679
Speaker 1: be at third base. You know what's gonna happen there.

357
00:18:14,520 --> 00:18:16,439
Speaker 1: You know Luis Heal, you know he's having a bit

358
00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:18,399
Speaker 1: of an issue right now with the last There's a

359
00:18:18,440 --> 00:18:20,359
Speaker 1: lot of things that can happen with the Yankees. But

360
00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:22,159
Speaker 1: you know, I'm looking at some other teams here in

361
00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:24,360
Speaker 1: the American League, and I think some of these teams

362
00:18:25,160 --> 00:18:27,480
Speaker 1: could be being slept on a little bit. You know,

363
00:18:27,560 --> 00:18:29,960
Speaker 1: look at right there in the division, the Baltimore Orioles.

364
00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:33,120
Speaker 1: You know, yes, they lost Corbyn Burns. Uh, you lost

365
00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:37,000
Speaker 1: Anthony Santander this past offseason. Sure they made a bunch

366
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:40,239
Speaker 1: of other additions, you know, guys like Tyler O'Neill. You know,

367
00:18:40,280 --> 00:18:44,320
Speaker 1: you brought in Charlie Moore and Tomoyuki Sigano for the rotation.

368
00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:47,679
Speaker 1: They are gonna be getting Felix Batista back for the bullpen.

369
00:18:47,800 --> 00:18:50,240
Speaker 1: So I still think that's a very strong Orioles team.

370
00:18:50,680 --> 00:18:54,600
Speaker 1: I just wonder did they really get that much better. Right,

371
00:18:54,920 --> 00:18:57,639
Speaker 1: So I wonder about the Orioles a little bit. I

372
00:18:57,640 --> 00:18:59,600
Speaker 1: still think they're gonna be a very strong contender in

373
00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:01,200
Speaker 1: the American League. But then I'm also looking at a

374
00:19:01,240 --> 00:19:03,879
Speaker 1: team like the Texas Rangers. Right, World Series hangover this

375
00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:07,240
Speaker 1: past year. They completely revamped that bullpen. You got a

376
00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:09,720
Speaker 1: lot of bats in that lineup. Why at Langford. I

377
00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:12,639
Speaker 1: think he's gonna be an absolute stud. Put him alongside

378
00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:15,760
Speaker 1: guys like Corey Seeger, Marcus Semion, you know, maybe Evan Carter.

379
00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:19,440
Speaker 1: Let's see what he can do. Very he came. He

380
00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:21,520
Speaker 1: burst onto the scene a couple of years ago, helping

381
00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:23,480
Speaker 1: the Rangers win a World Series. But he dealt with

382
00:19:23,480 --> 00:19:25,879
Speaker 1: a back issue last year. So that's a guy that

383
00:19:25,880 --> 00:19:28,800
Speaker 1: could definitely be an impact player. You know, the rotation

384
00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:30,760
Speaker 1: to Grom, you know, let's see what happens with the

385
00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:33,239
Speaker 1: health there. I think the Rangers have a lot of

386
00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:35,159
Speaker 1: good things going for them. I think it's just a

387
00:19:35,160 --> 00:19:38,320
Speaker 1: matter of staying healthy. You know the Mariners, right, you

388
00:19:38,359 --> 00:19:40,879
Speaker 1: know you're looking at you know, the big concern with

389
00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:43,800
Speaker 1: them is the offense. They were terrible offensively last year.

390
00:19:43,840 --> 00:19:45,159
Speaker 1: We all know what they got when it comes to

391
00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:48,359
Speaker 1: the pitching side of things, a great rotation. So you know,

392
00:19:48,359 --> 00:19:50,399
Speaker 1: could the Mariners, if they figure it out on the

393
00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:53,360
Speaker 1: offensive side of things, could we maybe see a very

394
00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:57,000
Speaker 1: good team there. You know, a team like the Astros.

395
00:19:57,040 --> 00:20:01,400
Speaker 1: You know, they're always there, right, They're every year people are,

396
00:20:01,640 --> 00:20:04,120
Speaker 1: you know, picking them to make a deep playoff run.

397
00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:05,879
Speaker 1: So you never know what the Astros. They did get

398
00:20:05,880 --> 00:20:09,760
Speaker 1: a little weaker this offseason, losing Kyle Tucker, you know,

399
00:20:09,800 --> 00:20:12,120
Speaker 1: so we'll see what ends up happening. But I'm gonna

400
00:20:12,119 --> 00:20:14,880
Speaker 1: say right now, you know again, I'm trying to keep

401
00:20:14,880 --> 00:20:18,320
Speaker 1: a realistic approach here. I'm trying to stay even keeled

402
00:20:18,359 --> 00:20:21,560
Speaker 1: down the middle as much as possible. As excited as

403
00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:24,320
Speaker 1: I am about the Red Sox, I don't want to

404
00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:27,440
Speaker 1: jump the gun. I don't want to sit here and say, yes,

405
00:20:27,480 --> 00:20:30,679
Speaker 1: you know, obviously they got a lot better this past offseason.

406
00:20:30,760 --> 00:20:33,320
Speaker 1: They had an a off season in my opinion, you know,

407
00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:37,240
Speaker 1: Crochet Bregman, you know, a bunch of moves. I really

408
00:20:37,280 --> 00:20:40,240
Speaker 1: like what the Red Sox did this offseason. And you guys,

409
00:20:40,359 --> 00:20:43,159
Speaker 1: and you got guys coming back who have been dealing

410
00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:45,080
Speaker 1: with some health issues. I think the Red Sox have

411
00:20:45,160 --> 00:20:47,400
Speaker 1: a very good chance at being one of the top

412
00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:50,399
Speaker 1: teams in the American League. But I'm not ready yet

413
00:20:50,640 --> 00:20:53,919
Speaker 1: to give them that crown. I still think, you know,

414
00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:56,080
Speaker 1: the Yankees and the Orioles, those are the teams to

415
00:20:56,119 --> 00:20:58,520
Speaker 1: beat in the American League right now. I think the

416
00:20:58,520 --> 00:21:01,879
Speaker 1: Red Sox can be right there. So I'm gonna be safe.

417
00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:05,159
Speaker 1: I would love to say yes, but I'm gonna sell.

418
00:21:05,359 --> 00:21:08,000
Speaker 1: I think the Red Sox will finish near the top

419
00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:10,520
Speaker 1: in the American League. I think they're gonna be a

420
00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:14,720
Speaker 1: very strong contender. But I need to see what unfolds here,

421
00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:18,119
Speaker 1: you know, with the Yankees, with the Orioles, right with

422
00:21:18,320 --> 00:21:21,760
Speaker 1: the Rangers, and honestly, if the Rangers stay healthy and

423
00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:25,240
Speaker 1: if they have a just you know, all these guys

424
00:21:25,320 --> 00:21:28,879
Speaker 1: contributing this year, and you know they avoid the IL

425
00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:31,080
Speaker 1: as much as possible, I think the Rangers have a

426
00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:34,359
Speaker 1: very good shot at being that best team in the

427
00:21:34,359 --> 00:21:36,840
Speaker 1: American League. We'll just wait and see. But I'm gonna

428
00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:40,160
Speaker 1: sell this one. I definitely think it's gonna be interesting.

429
00:21:40,520 --> 00:21:42,240
Speaker 1: Give it a couple of months, we'll come back to

430
00:21:42,280 --> 00:21:46,600
Speaker 1: this one. Let's move on here to the next hot take.

431
00:21:47,040 --> 00:21:50,400
Speaker 1: Let's go to a Let's go to some individual players

432
00:21:50,400 --> 00:21:53,119
Speaker 1: that we got up next. This one's from socks Fanatic

433
00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:56,879
Speaker 1: at red sox Ing joy or twenty four on Twitter.

434
00:21:56,920 --> 00:22:01,200
Speaker 1: He says, here, Conter Wong is an All Star finishing

435
00:22:01,359 --> 00:22:05,439
Speaker 1: with twenty plus homers on the year. He's added weight

436
00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:10,119
Speaker 1: and his defense looks way better. This is interesting. I

437
00:22:10,119 --> 00:22:13,240
Speaker 1: think this is a very unique hot take here. Now,

438
00:22:13,440 --> 00:22:15,960
Speaker 1: Connor Wong, he did show some good things with the

439
00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:18,000
Speaker 1: bat this past year, one hundred and twenty six games.

440
00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:20,000
Speaker 1: It hit two eighty A three thirty three on base

441
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:21,719
Speaker 1: a four to twenty five on the slugging a one

442
00:22:21,800 --> 00:22:25,840
Speaker 1: ten oh WRC plus had thirteen homers. The big thing

443
00:22:25,880 --> 00:22:28,879
Speaker 1: with Connor Wong, though, it's the defense, right. You know,

444
00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:32,399
Speaker 1: when you're taking a look here at Connor Wong, right,

445
00:22:32,480 --> 00:22:35,119
Speaker 1: let me pull up the stat cast. There's some things

446
00:22:35,160 --> 00:22:38,520
Speaker 1: that he has to work on here. Right when it

447
00:22:38,600 --> 00:22:42,560
Speaker 1: comes to just behind the plate, He's got to work

448
00:22:42,600 --> 00:22:45,840
Speaker 1: on the blocking. Right this past year he had he

449
00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:50,600
Speaker 1: was in the third percentile in blocks above average, right,

450
00:22:50,680 --> 00:22:54,240
Speaker 1: negative thirteen on there. He's got to work on that, man,

451
00:22:55,040 --> 00:22:58,399
Speaker 1: the framing negative seven with the framing that was in

452
00:22:58,440 --> 00:23:02,480
Speaker 1: the ninth percentile this past year. Now, when it comes

453
00:23:02,520 --> 00:23:05,240
Speaker 1: to throwing guys out, you know. There, you know, there

454
00:23:05,320 --> 00:23:07,080
Speaker 1: is some good things. Right. When it came to the

455
00:23:07,119 --> 00:23:09,440
Speaker 1: caught stealing above average, he was in the sixty eighth

456
00:23:09,520 --> 00:23:13,320
Speaker 1: percent tile. His pop time as pop time sorry at

457
00:23:13,400 --> 00:23:15,760
Speaker 1: one point ninety five, that was in the sixty third

458
00:23:15,800 --> 00:23:19,200
Speaker 1: percent tile. So I think when it comes to the runners,

459
00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:21,480
Speaker 1: you know, the arm, Yeah, there's a lot of good

460
00:23:21,520 --> 00:23:23,159
Speaker 1: things there. But he just has to work on the

461
00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:25,959
Speaker 1: defense behind the plate. He's got to work on just

462
00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:29,040
Speaker 1: the pass ball's there. He's got to work on getting

463
00:23:29,040 --> 00:23:31,960
Speaker 1: a bit more out of the framing side of things.

464
00:23:31,960 --> 00:23:34,240
Speaker 1: He's got to help these pictures out a little bit more.

465
00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:37,080
Speaker 1: But I do think if he can take that step

466
00:23:37,160 --> 00:23:41,360
Speaker 1: forward defensively as a catcher, I think there's a lot

467
00:23:41,400 --> 00:23:44,720
Speaker 1: of possibilities with Connor Wong And like socks fanatic mention

468
00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:47,919
Speaker 1: here in the tweet saying that he has added on

469
00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:51,480
Speaker 1: some muscle, right, he does look very good physically. He

470
00:23:51,760 --> 00:23:55,280
Speaker 1: looks like he has been hitting the gym this past offseason, right,

471
00:23:55,480 --> 00:23:57,840
Speaker 1: and you know he got a full season under his belt, right,

472
00:23:57,880 --> 00:24:00,200
Speaker 1: he's just about to turn twenty nine years old. I

473
00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:02,479
Speaker 1: think this is very possible. But the one thing I'm

474
00:24:02,520 --> 00:24:06,680
Speaker 1: afraid of with Connor Wong. The one thing and uh,

475
00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:09,199
Speaker 1: this was something I paid attention to. Last year. His

476
00:24:09,280 --> 00:24:12,760
Speaker 1: batting average on balls in play was a three forty eight.

477
00:24:13,240 --> 00:24:16,080
Speaker 1: That's very high, above league average. Right when you have

478
00:24:16,119 --> 00:24:20,800
Speaker 1: a high babbit like that, you tend to see some regression. Now,

479
00:24:21,240 --> 00:24:23,520
Speaker 1: could I see him in you know, increasing the power

480
00:24:23,560 --> 00:24:26,639
Speaker 1: a little bit? Sure, I think you could see someone

481
00:24:26,680 --> 00:24:29,600
Speaker 1: that could get in you know, that fifteen to twenty range.

482
00:24:29,960 --> 00:24:33,479
Speaker 1: I think that's possible. But when it comes to just

483
00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:37,760
Speaker 1: the overall offensive game, the babbit again was high, not

484
00:24:37,880 --> 00:24:40,920
Speaker 1: a very high walk percentage last year five point seven

485
00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:44,240
Speaker 1: walk percentage. The strikeouts who were a smidge high, right

486
00:24:44,280 --> 00:24:46,560
Speaker 1: around twenty three and a half percent. So when it

487
00:24:46,560 --> 00:24:50,239
Speaker 1: comes to the overall offensive approach with Wong, I'm going

488
00:24:50,280 --> 00:24:52,920
Speaker 1: to proceed with caution there. I think you could still

489
00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:55,840
Speaker 1: see some pop, you know, especially the right handed swing.

490
00:24:56,040 --> 00:24:58,360
Speaker 1: You know, half a season at Femway Park, I think

491
00:24:58,400 --> 00:25:03,320
Speaker 1: twenty homers, especially with the added strength this past offseason,

492
00:25:03,440 --> 00:25:07,119
Speaker 1: just looks like he's in great shape. I think that's possible. Again,

493
00:25:07,200 --> 00:25:09,040
Speaker 1: though you know, he's gonna have to make up a

494
00:25:09,080 --> 00:25:11,200
Speaker 1: lot on the defensive side of things, And I think

495
00:25:11,240 --> 00:25:13,760
Speaker 1: when it comes to the overall approach at the plate,

496
00:25:14,800 --> 00:25:17,600
Speaker 1: I think there's something, you know, there's a little to

497
00:25:17,680 --> 00:25:21,200
Speaker 1: worry about there. I'm gonna say with Wong, I'm gonna

498
00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:23,760
Speaker 1: say probably not on being an All Star, but I

499
00:25:23,800 --> 00:25:26,400
Speaker 1: could maybe see the twenty home runs. I'm gonna leave

500
00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:30,480
Speaker 1: that open for possibility, for a possibility there, but all

501
00:25:30,520 --> 00:25:34,800
Speaker 1: Star again, I really just need to see it because

502
00:25:34,840 --> 00:25:38,960
Speaker 1: the defense was just so bad last year. It's really

503
00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:41,720
Speaker 1: hard to say that he's gonna be able to take

504
00:25:41,960 --> 00:25:44,800
Speaker 1: like that big step of that big of a step

505
00:25:44,880 --> 00:25:48,160
Speaker 1: forward to be able to become that all around catcher.

506
00:25:48,400 --> 00:25:50,000
Speaker 1: I don't know. I just think that's a little too

507
00:25:50,040 --> 00:25:52,200
Speaker 1: much to make up at this point. I could see

508
00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:56,200
Speaker 1: some improvements, but big time improvements. I'm not so sure

509
00:25:56,200 --> 00:25:58,640
Speaker 1: about that. So I would love it though, I would

510
00:25:58,640 --> 00:26:01,359
Speaker 1: absolutely love it. Moving on here, let's get to the

511
00:26:01,400 --> 00:26:04,120
Speaker 1: next hot take, and uh, we got another one. Here.

512
00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:10,280
Speaker 1: We got Sedane Rafaella Enjoyer at rafaela Enjoyer on Twitter.

513
00:26:10,320 --> 00:26:13,560
Speaker 1: He does great jersey swaps. He's very good with the

514
00:26:13,560 --> 00:26:16,240
Speaker 1: photo editing. Go check him out, go give him a follow.

515
00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:18,719
Speaker 1: He does great work. But he says here and this

516
00:26:18,800 --> 00:26:22,119
Speaker 1: is one that I've seen other people talk about Sedane

517
00:26:22,240 --> 00:26:28,880
Speaker 1: Rafaela wins the MVP. This one, I've seen people talk

518
00:26:28,920 --> 00:26:31,639
Speaker 1: about it. I just I gotta sell I feel like

519
00:26:31,680 --> 00:26:33,840
Speaker 1: I'm selling a lot here. I'm gonna get to some

520
00:26:34,640 --> 00:26:37,879
Speaker 1: to some bys here in a second, But when it

521
00:26:37,920 --> 00:26:41,480
Speaker 1: comes to this one, I'm just not really sure. I'm

522
00:26:41,520 --> 00:26:44,719
Speaker 1: not really sure about this one. Now here's the thing

523
00:26:44,760 --> 00:26:47,680
Speaker 1: with the rafael I love the player, right, I love

524
00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:52,399
Speaker 1: the tools that he has. He's got just he's got

525
00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:55,560
Speaker 1: that pop, that that that hidden pop a little bit

526
00:26:55,600 --> 00:26:57,840
Speaker 1: where this is a guy that I think could hit

527
00:26:57,880 --> 00:27:01,040
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five home runs and he's got speed on

528
00:27:01,119 --> 00:27:02,840
Speaker 1: top of it. This is a guy that can just

529
00:27:03,240 --> 00:27:06,920
Speaker 1: wreck some havoc on the base paths. He's extremely good

530
00:27:06,920 --> 00:27:10,199
Speaker 1: defensively out in center field. I love a lot of

531
00:27:10,200 --> 00:27:12,240
Speaker 1: the tools that he has, but when it comes to

532
00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:16,880
Speaker 1: the hit tool, this is where I worry about Rafaela

533
00:27:16,960 --> 00:27:18,959
Speaker 1: and kind of like Wong, I just wonder if this

534
00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:21,560
Speaker 1: is going to be too much to make up at

535
00:27:21,600 --> 00:27:24,840
Speaker 1: the end of the day. Now again, I love the power,

536
00:27:24,960 --> 00:27:28,520
Speaker 1: speed threat that he has, but only hit two forty

537
00:27:28,560 --> 00:27:32,200
Speaker 1: six this past year, a two seventy four on base

538
00:27:32,320 --> 00:27:34,720
Speaker 1: a three ninety slugging. I think this is a guy

539
00:27:34,800 --> 00:27:38,320
Speaker 1: that could be in that four twenty to four forty

540
00:27:38,440 --> 00:27:41,800
Speaker 1: slugging range. I think that's possible. Who knows, maybe even

541
00:27:41,840 --> 00:27:45,560
Speaker 1: a little bit higher. Uh. But the big problem with

542
00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:51,760
Speaker 1: Rafaela is just the overall plate discipline. Very aggressive at

543
00:27:51,760 --> 00:27:53,919
Speaker 1: the plate. He is going to have to do a

544
00:27:54,080 --> 00:27:57,840
Speaker 1: lot to improve on this. Last year he only had

545
00:27:57,920 --> 00:28:01,000
Speaker 1: a two point six walk percentage. That is the worst

546
00:28:01,480 --> 00:28:04,320
Speaker 1: walk rate in all of Major League Baseball last year

547
00:28:04,359 --> 00:28:08,400
Speaker 1: among qualified players. Combined with that, he struck out over

548
00:28:08,440 --> 00:28:12,160
Speaker 1: twenty six percent of the time. That's a very bad

549
00:28:12,280 --> 00:28:16,040
Speaker 1: ratio there. I mean, he has always been that kind

550
00:28:16,080 --> 00:28:18,320
Speaker 1: of a profile. I think you could see him reduce

551
00:28:18,400 --> 00:28:21,320
Speaker 1: the strikeouts because he had some lower strikeout numbers in

552
00:28:21,359 --> 00:28:24,159
Speaker 1: the minor leagues, but he was always right around like

553
00:28:24,200 --> 00:28:27,879
Speaker 1: a five percent walk rate. Now, you know, I'm not

554
00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:30,879
Speaker 1: saying you have to walk a lot to be, you know,

555
00:28:30,960 --> 00:28:32,879
Speaker 1: a top player in the game. Right Like, look at

556
00:28:32,920 --> 00:28:35,280
Speaker 1: Bobby Wick Junior. He had an eight percent walk rate

557
00:28:35,520 --> 00:28:38,680
Speaker 1: this past year, which you know, it's fine, but this

558
00:28:38,760 --> 00:28:41,400
Speaker 1: is Bobby Wick Junior. That's a guy that didn't doesn't

559
00:28:41,440 --> 00:28:44,920
Speaker 1: really strike out, he just does so many good things. Well,

560
00:28:45,160 --> 00:28:48,800
Speaker 1: where you know, guys like Aaron Judge, Juan Soto, they

561
00:28:48,840 --> 00:28:51,760
Speaker 1: walk close to twenty percent of the time. So I

562
00:28:51,760 --> 00:28:55,360
Speaker 1: think more often than not, you tend to see these

563
00:28:55,640 --> 00:28:58,840
Speaker 1: MVP kind of guys where they're in that fifteen to

564
00:28:58,920 --> 00:29:02,760
Speaker 1: twenty percent walk range, or if they're a little lower

565
00:29:02,800 --> 00:29:05,800
Speaker 1: on the walks, they don't strike out as much. I

566
00:29:05,880 --> 00:29:09,360
Speaker 1: just think with Rafaela, there's just too much of a

567
00:29:09,440 --> 00:29:13,000
Speaker 1: gap there. He's really gonna have to clean up that

568
00:29:13,080 --> 00:29:17,240
Speaker 1: approach when it comes to the strikeouts, and he's gonna

569
00:29:17,280 --> 00:29:19,760
Speaker 1: have to really get on base more. I just don't

570
00:29:19,800 --> 00:29:22,240
Speaker 1: know if he's gonna be able to get there. Now.

571
00:29:22,520 --> 00:29:24,880
Speaker 1: I could see a guy I could see a twenty

572
00:29:24,920 --> 00:29:28,360
Speaker 1: twenty season. I think that's very possible. But when it

573
00:29:28,400 --> 00:29:31,360
Speaker 1: comes to an MVP again, I've seen people mention it.

574
00:29:31,400 --> 00:29:34,280
Speaker 1: I've seen papal Bond mention it. I just don't think

575
00:29:34,280 --> 00:29:36,840
Speaker 1: it's there. I just don't think he's gonna walk enough.

576
00:29:36,880 --> 00:29:39,520
Speaker 1: I think he's gonna strike out too much. And even

577
00:29:39,520 --> 00:29:41,600
Speaker 1: if he does cut down on those things, isn't going

578
00:29:41,680 --> 00:29:47,360
Speaker 1: to be enough to create just an overall impressive offensive profile.

579
00:29:47,640 --> 00:29:50,240
Speaker 1: You know, there's guys out there like jazz Chism, right,

580
00:29:50,400 --> 00:29:53,080
Speaker 1: this is a guy that's a power speed threat. But

581
00:29:53,520 --> 00:29:56,520
Speaker 1: is Jazz Chism an MVP. I don't know. I think people,

582
00:29:56,680 --> 00:29:58,840
Speaker 1: you know, a little while ago, thought that he could

583
00:29:58,840 --> 00:30:02,120
Speaker 1: be an MVP. But it's more than just power and speed,

584
00:30:02,400 --> 00:30:05,640
Speaker 1: all right. It's about the entire approach at the play.

585
00:30:05,680 --> 00:30:07,840
Speaker 1: And I'm a little worried about that with Rafaela. I

586
00:30:07,880 --> 00:30:09,600
Speaker 1: just don't think it's gonna be enough to get him

587
00:30:09,600 --> 00:30:12,920
Speaker 1: the MVP. But could he be a guy that's, you know,

588
00:30:12,960 --> 00:30:15,960
Speaker 1: maybe a three F war kind of a player. I

589
00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:18,040
Speaker 1: think that's possible. He was at a zero point nine

590
00:30:18,040 --> 00:30:20,760
Speaker 1: this past year. We all know the defense is gonna

591
00:30:20,760 --> 00:30:23,680
Speaker 1: be good, especially these stays out there in center field.

592
00:30:23,680 --> 00:30:26,560
Speaker 1: If he's not moving around so much, then I think

593
00:30:26,600 --> 00:30:28,560
Speaker 1: that's going to help him. And I think that's gonna

594
00:30:28,560 --> 00:30:30,400
Speaker 1: help him on the offensive side of things too, to

595
00:30:30,440 --> 00:30:33,000
Speaker 1: where he's not having to focus on so many different things.

596
00:30:33,240 --> 00:30:37,200
Speaker 1: So I do think you're gonna see some improved offense

597
00:30:37,320 --> 00:30:39,320
Speaker 1: this year. I just don't think it's gonna be enough

598
00:30:39,560 --> 00:30:42,080
Speaker 1: to be MVP. But I love the hot take. Though

599
00:30:42,160 --> 00:30:44,000
Speaker 1: I love it, I'm looking for a good season out

600
00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:47,840
Speaker 1: of Raphaela. Now moving on let's get to the next one. Here,

601
00:30:48,120 --> 00:30:52,400
Speaker 1: Cam the Red Sox fan on Twitter, he says, here,

602
00:30:52,680 --> 00:30:57,560
Speaker 1: Alex Bregman finishes top five in ale MVP. Now this

603
00:30:57,680 --> 00:30:59,640
Speaker 1: is I think we're talking a little bit here. I

604
00:30:59,720 --> 00:31:02,200
Speaker 1: think we're talking a little bit here now Bregman, I

605
00:31:02,240 --> 00:31:06,000
Speaker 1: mean goodness. I mean I still won't I will never

606
00:31:06,040 --> 00:31:09,120
Speaker 1: forget when he actually signed with the Red Sox. Just

607
00:31:09,160 --> 00:31:12,239
Speaker 1: an incredible moment, right after so many years of the

608
00:31:12,240 --> 00:31:16,240
Speaker 1: Red Sox just not doing anything in free agency, they

609
00:31:16,280 --> 00:31:18,120
Speaker 1: go out and just make that incredible move to bring

610
00:31:18,200 --> 00:31:21,840
Speaker 1: him in. Loved it. I think this is possible. I

611
00:31:22,440 --> 00:31:25,280
Speaker 1: do think that. Now will he win MVP, I don't

612
00:31:25,280 --> 00:31:28,120
Speaker 1: know about that, but a top five finish, I think

613
00:31:28,120 --> 00:31:30,560
Speaker 1: it's possible. Because here's the thing. When it comes to MVPs.

614
00:31:30,880 --> 00:31:33,520
Speaker 1: Every year, there's always some kind of a storyline with

615
00:31:33,640 --> 00:31:37,080
Speaker 1: the MVPs, and I think Bregman, I think he brings

616
00:31:37,120 --> 00:31:39,760
Speaker 1: that to the table here with the Red Sox, right

617
00:31:40,080 --> 00:31:42,480
Speaker 1: he was the guy they brought in. If they get

618
00:31:42,480 --> 00:31:44,760
Speaker 1: to the playoffs, people are gonna look at this guy,

619
00:31:45,400 --> 00:31:47,320
Speaker 1: especially if they as a good season as him being

620
00:31:47,320 --> 00:31:50,960
Speaker 1: the difference maker that I think is something you always

621
00:31:51,040 --> 00:31:54,320
Speaker 1: need to have a storyline when it comes to MVP voting,

622
00:31:54,360 --> 00:31:57,480
Speaker 1: that's just how the voters are, right. But Bregman, with

623
00:31:57,520 --> 00:31:59,920
Speaker 1: half a season at Fenway Park, I think you could

624
00:32:00,080 --> 00:32:02,640
Speaker 1: see some very good numbers. Now, I do wonder if

625
00:32:02,680 --> 00:32:06,840
Speaker 1: that power. So I'm gonna explain this very carefully now

626
00:32:06,880 --> 00:32:10,080
Speaker 1: when it comes to the power with Bregman, He's always

627
00:32:10,080 --> 00:32:13,000
Speaker 1: had some help with the Crawford boxes there with his polls.

628
00:32:13,000 --> 00:32:15,400
Speaker 1: Swing and the bat of ball metrics have come down

629
00:32:15,400 --> 00:32:18,560
Speaker 1: a little bit over the last couple of years. Now

630
00:32:18,800 --> 00:32:21,200
Speaker 1: Bregman at Family Park I think is an amazing fit.

631
00:32:21,280 --> 00:32:24,280
Speaker 1: I just wonder with Bregman, you know, the way the

632
00:32:24,320 --> 00:32:27,520
Speaker 1: long shangle has been, It's worked out for him in Houston. However,

633
00:32:27,560 --> 00:32:30,280
Speaker 1: are we gonna see more doubles out of Bregman at

634
00:32:30,320 --> 00:32:33,320
Speaker 1: Famway Park with the monster compared to the home runs now,

635
00:32:33,360 --> 00:32:36,400
Speaker 1: I still think he's gonna finish somewhere in that twenty

636
00:32:36,440 --> 00:32:39,040
Speaker 1: to twenty five home run range, maybe even a little

637
00:32:39,040 --> 00:32:41,760
Speaker 1: bit more. Maybe he makes a couple of adjustments with

638
00:32:41,840 --> 00:32:44,960
Speaker 1: the swing, get a little bit more loft there, and now, yeah,

639
00:32:45,040 --> 00:32:46,680
Speaker 1: maybe he could be a twenty five to thirty home

640
00:32:46,760 --> 00:32:49,200
Speaker 1: run kind of a guy. I think he's gonna bring

641
00:32:49,240 --> 00:32:52,600
Speaker 1: good defense wherever he plays, whether that's second or third base.

642
00:32:52,640 --> 00:32:54,920
Speaker 1: I think that's another storyline that could come into play

643
00:32:54,960 --> 00:32:58,560
Speaker 1: as well, that Bregman. You know, let's let's see where

644
00:32:58,560 --> 00:33:01,000
Speaker 1: he ends up playing the most. We'll talk about that

645
00:33:01,040 --> 00:33:03,600
Speaker 1: in a little bit here, But you know, if this

646
00:33:03,640 --> 00:33:05,040
Speaker 1: is a guy that ends up playing a lot of

647
00:33:05,080 --> 00:33:07,360
Speaker 1: second base and a lot of third base, he bounces

648
00:33:07,400 --> 00:33:11,080
Speaker 1: back and forth, that's another, you know, just another thing

649
00:33:11,120 --> 00:33:13,880
Speaker 1: to pay that voters are gonna pay attention to, right,

650
00:33:14,200 --> 00:33:17,960
Speaker 1: Just another storyline aspect. But again, when it comes to

651
00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:19,920
Speaker 1: the numbers, I think at Femway Park, I think this

652
00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:21,760
Speaker 1: guy is gonna have a great year. I think his

653
00:33:21,880 --> 00:33:24,720
Speaker 1: on base percentage is gonna get better this coming year.

654
00:33:24,760 --> 00:33:27,040
Speaker 1: He was at a three fifteen last year, which is

655
00:33:27,160 --> 00:33:29,719
Speaker 1: very against the norm. In his career, He's always been

656
00:33:29,760 --> 00:33:32,200
Speaker 1: a good on base guy, usually in that three forty

657
00:33:32,240 --> 00:33:34,840
Speaker 1: to three sixty range. He got off to a slow

658
00:33:34,880 --> 00:33:37,479
Speaker 1: start last year, you know, things are a little bit

659
00:33:37,480 --> 00:33:39,200
Speaker 1: out of whack with him, and then he got himself

660
00:33:39,280 --> 00:33:42,760
Speaker 1: right in the second half. So I think that on

661
00:33:42,800 --> 00:33:44,800
Speaker 1: base percentage is gonna be fine. I think you're gonna

662
00:33:44,800 --> 00:33:47,360
Speaker 1: see around a three point fifty like the norm, especially

663
00:33:47,840 --> 00:33:51,240
Speaker 1: at Fmway Park, right, and then you know the slugging

664
00:33:51,240 --> 00:33:54,680
Speaker 1: they are projecting on fangrafts, a four to forty one slugging.

665
00:33:55,280 --> 00:33:57,240
Speaker 1: I think you could very well see anywhere from a

666
00:33:57,400 --> 00:33:59,719
Speaker 1: four to fifty to even a five hundred with Femway

667
00:33:59,760 --> 00:34:01,960
Speaker 1: Park there, with all the doubles that he's gonna get,

668
00:34:02,000 --> 00:34:03,560
Speaker 1: this is a guy that I think could hit forty

669
00:34:03,600 --> 00:34:08,840
Speaker 1: doubles easily. Fmway, I think that's very possible. WRC plus

670
00:34:08,880 --> 00:34:11,600
Speaker 1: the art projecting a one seventeen again, I think this

671
00:34:11,680 --> 00:34:13,920
Speaker 1: is a guy that could be you know, one twenty

672
00:34:13,960 --> 00:34:16,120
Speaker 1: to one thirty. I think that's very possible. I think

673
00:34:16,160 --> 00:34:19,320
Speaker 1: Femway Park, he's always hit well there in his career.

674
00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:22,000
Speaker 1: I think this is a guy that could absolutely finish

675
00:34:22,160 --> 00:34:25,200
Speaker 1: top five in the MVP voting. Uh, there's just so

676
00:34:25,280 --> 00:34:28,520
Speaker 1: many good things going for him. But I think just

677
00:34:28,600 --> 00:34:33,239
Speaker 1: from a fit offensively at Femway to you know, numbers

678
00:34:33,440 --> 00:34:36,840
Speaker 1: getting back on track in some spots, but also just

679
00:34:36,920 --> 00:34:40,000
Speaker 1: what he's going to bring to the team defensively, you know,

680
00:34:40,080 --> 00:34:43,960
Speaker 1: from a leadership point of view, I think this is possible.

681
00:34:44,120 --> 00:34:47,040
Speaker 1: I definitely think you can see it. Moving on here,

682
00:34:47,640 --> 00:34:49,960
Speaker 1: let's get to the next tot take. This is from

683
00:34:50,040 --> 00:34:55,080
Speaker 1: Gibbroni Baseball on YouTube. Go check out his channel. He's

684
00:34:55,120 --> 00:34:58,759
Speaker 1: got some good stuff. But speaking of third base, he

685
00:34:58,840 --> 00:35:03,279
Speaker 1: says here, Raffi Devers will be playing first base or

686
00:35:03,480 --> 00:35:09,359
Speaker 1: full time DH by June sixth. Book it. I'm gonna

687
00:35:09,360 --> 00:35:11,800
Speaker 1: buy it. I'm gonna buy it. I do think Raffi

688
00:35:12,160 --> 00:35:16,560
Speaker 1: is going to be a part time third baseman at

689
00:35:16,640 --> 00:35:19,480
Speaker 1: some point by the halfway mark of the year, right,

690
00:35:19,560 --> 00:35:23,239
Speaker 1: June sixth? Uh? You know is could that be a

691
00:35:23,239 --> 00:35:26,080
Speaker 1: little early? We'll see. I just think with Raffi, right,

692
00:35:26,160 --> 00:35:28,480
Speaker 1: you know, this is a guy that's had his couple

693
00:35:28,520 --> 00:35:31,319
Speaker 1: of dings in the last couple of years. I think,

694
00:35:31,360 --> 00:35:33,520
Speaker 1: you know, if there's something that ends up coming up

695
00:35:33,560 --> 00:35:36,520
Speaker 1: with his shoulder or whatever it may be, he hits

696
00:35:36,560 --> 00:35:39,640
Speaker 1: the il, Bregman goes the third. Could you see a

697
00:35:39,680 --> 00:35:44,120
Speaker 1: situation where when Raffi comes back, the Red Sox say, listen,

698
00:35:44,680 --> 00:35:48,400
Speaker 1: enough is enough. Bregman is a better third baseman. We

699
00:35:48,440 --> 00:35:50,799
Speaker 1: need to keep him there. We need you to DH.

700
00:35:50,920 --> 00:35:53,040
Speaker 1: That's where we think you're gonna have your best production.

701
00:35:53,160 --> 00:35:55,239
Speaker 1: That's where we think you're gonna have your best health. Now,

702
00:35:55,880 --> 00:35:58,160
Speaker 1: first base, I don't think first base is gonna happen.

703
00:35:59,360 --> 00:36:01,960
Speaker 1: The only way I could see first base happening this

704
00:36:02,080 --> 00:36:06,719
Speaker 1: year is if it's like an emergency situation. That's the

705
00:36:06,760 --> 00:36:11,200
Speaker 1: only way I could see it. However, for twenty twenty six,

706
00:36:12,160 --> 00:36:15,600
Speaker 1: maybe maybe I think he's gonna need a full off

707
00:36:15,600 --> 00:36:19,720
Speaker 1: season really to get himself acquainted with a position change.

708
00:36:19,760 --> 00:36:22,560
Speaker 1: I personally don't think it's too much of a drastic

709
00:36:22,640 --> 00:36:25,400
Speaker 1: change going from third to first. Sure, you're gonna have

710
00:36:25,440 --> 00:36:28,000
Speaker 1: to pick up on a couple of nuances, right you know,

711
00:36:28,239 --> 00:36:30,239
Speaker 1: you know it is a different position at the end

712
00:36:30,280 --> 00:36:31,960
Speaker 1: of the day, but there's a lot of similarities with

713
00:36:32,040 --> 00:36:35,960
Speaker 1: third and first. I think though it would be appropriate

714
00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:38,319
Speaker 1: to have a full off season to get used to

715
00:36:38,400 --> 00:36:41,880
Speaker 1: that spot. That's just me. I think that could be

716
00:36:41,920 --> 00:36:44,880
Speaker 1: a happy medium, right where if he wants to play third,

717
00:36:45,120 --> 00:36:47,440
Speaker 1: doesn't necessarily want to be the DH, but if he

718
00:36:47,480 --> 00:36:50,000
Speaker 1: wants to stay out in the field, first base could

719
00:36:50,040 --> 00:36:51,480
Speaker 1: be a spot for him. Now, there's a lot of

720
00:36:51,480 --> 00:36:52,920
Speaker 1: things that are gonna have to work out for that

721
00:36:53,000 --> 00:36:56,000
Speaker 1: to happen. Right What happens with Cossas in that situation,

722
00:36:56,680 --> 00:36:58,160
Speaker 1: This is the guy that's been on the grade block

723
00:36:58,200 --> 00:37:00,720
Speaker 1: for what feels like eighty six years and now this point.

724
00:37:01,960 --> 00:37:05,200
Speaker 1: So who knows. Does Casas end up getting moved at

725
00:37:05,239 --> 00:37:07,960
Speaker 1: some point? The Red Sox they are high on him,

726
00:37:08,000 --> 00:37:11,040
Speaker 1: Craig Breslow, right, He said multiple times in this offseason,

727
00:37:11,120 --> 00:37:12,400
Speaker 1: this is a guy that could be a middle of

728
00:37:12,440 --> 00:37:15,400
Speaker 1: the order back for years to come. Cassas does need

729
00:37:15,440 --> 00:37:17,239
Speaker 1: to stay on the field. That is something that he's

730
00:37:17,280 --> 00:37:20,280
Speaker 1: gonna have to prove this year. But I think if Kassas,

731
00:37:20,440 --> 00:37:22,640
Speaker 1: you know, figures that out, yeah, that's a guy that

732
00:37:22,640 --> 00:37:25,399
Speaker 1: could give you great production in the middle of the order.

733
00:37:25,480 --> 00:37:28,080
Speaker 1: So you know, what happens with him in that situation,

734
00:37:28,160 --> 00:37:31,120
Speaker 1: I think it's more likely Raffi ends up being the DH.

735
00:37:31,239 --> 00:37:33,719
Speaker 1: Then you gotta figure out, Okay, what happens with Yoshida

736
00:37:34,160 --> 00:37:37,480
Speaker 1: at that point, you know, especially if Roman Anthony comes up.

737
00:37:37,520 --> 00:37:40,440
Speaker 1: There's a lot of dominoes that have to fall. But

738
00:37:40,520 --> 00:37:43,280
Speaker 1: I do think Rafi. I think it's gonna work itself

739
00:37:43,320 --> 00:37:47,120
Speaker 1: out in some ways, shape or form. I just think

740
00:37:47,200 --> 00:37:49,680
Speaker 1: Rafi is gonna be in that DH spot. I just

741
00:37:49,719 --> 00:37:52,960
Speaker 1: think you're leaving too much good defense on the table,

742
00:37:53,320 --> 00:37:57,160
Speaker 1: especially if Christian Campbell is ready or if von Grissom

743
00:37:57,200 --> 00:37:59,560
Speaker 1: is performing. You know, don't forget about von Grissom here.

744
00:37:59,640 --> 00:38:03,320
Speaker 1: I would be surprised at all to see Christian Campbell

745
00:38:03,320 --> 00:38:06,000
Speaker 1: start the year in the minor leagues and Vaughan Grissom

746
00:38:06,000 --> 00:38:08,560
Speaker 1: getting a chance out there. You know, don't sleep on

747
00:38:08,600 --> 00:38:12,080
Speaker 1: the guy again. A lot has to work out. I'm

748
00:38:12,080 --> 00:38:14,200
Speaker 1: gonna buy this. I do think it's gonna happen. I

749
00:38:14,239 --> 00:38:17,160
Speaker 1: do think it's gonna work. It work itself out in

750
00:38:17,200 --> 00:38:24,799
Speaker 1: some way, shape or form. Moving on, we got Marcos Marcos, Uh,

751
00:38:25,360 --> 00:38:28,759
Speaker 1: make sure I'm saying that right. Marcos Minch two six

752
00:38:29,040 --> 00:38:32,080
Speaker 1: nine on Twitter. He says, here, let's go to the

753
00:38:32,120 --> 00:38:36,800
Speaker 1: pitching side of things, both Garrett Crochet and Walker Bueller.

754
00:38:37,560 --> 00:38:42,080
Speaker 1: We'll finish inside the top five for Cy Young. I'm

755
00:38:42,120 --> 00:38:44,400
Speaker 1: gonna be honest with you. I'm gonna be honest with you.

756
00:38:44,480 --> 00:38:46,759
Speaker 1: And uh, for those of you that don't know, I

757
00:38:46,800 --> 00:38:49,359
Speaker 1: know this is a Red Sox podcast, but I talk

758
00:38:49,480 --> 00:38:52,440
Speaker 1: all things major League Baseball. I try to stay as

759
00:38:52,480 --> 00:38:56,080
Speaker 1: down the middle as I can. Garrett Crochet right now

760
00:38:56,200 --> 00:38:58,640
Speaker 1: is my pick for the Cy Young. Uh. This guy

761
00:38:59,360 --> 00:39:04,360
Speaker 1: last year just phenomenal in his first year in the rotation,

762
00:39:04,640 --> 00:39:08,040
Speaker 1: coming back from Tommy John surgery. Sure he faded a

763
00:39:08,080 --> 00:39:10,480
Speaker 1: little bit in the second half, but I mean, come on,

764
00:39:10,840 --> 00:39:13,160
Speaker 1: your first year in the rotation, just coming back from

765
00:39:13,160 --> 00:39:16,000
Speaker 1: a major surgery. Yeah, I'm not surprised to see a

766
00:39:16,040 --> 00:39:19,279
Speaker 1: little bit of fatigue down the stretch. But overall had

767
00:39:19,280 --> 00:39:22,080
Speaker 1: a three point five a ERA, a two point six'

768
00:39:22,200 --> 00:39:26,080
Speaker 1: nine on THE, fip good amount of, strikeouts almost thirteen

769
00:39:26,200 --> 00:39:29,799
Speaker 1: strikeouts per, nine two walks per, nine an incredible strikeouts

770
00:39:29,800 --> 00:39:33,880
Speaker 1: to walk. Ratio now he's gonna be With Andrew bailey

771
00:39:34,480 --> 00:39:38,719
Speaker 1: over In. Boston put those guys, together get, this you

772
00:39:38,760 --> 00:39:41,759
Speaker 1: know this twenty twenty four season under that, belt and

773
00:39:41,840 --> 00:39:43,839
Speaker 1: he's gonna take a big step. FORWARD i think here

774
00:39:43,840 --> 00:39:47,040
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty five this, guy and you gotta also

775
00:39:47,040 --> 00:39:49,439
Speaker 1: think of it. Too he was with The White sox last.

776
00:39:49,520 --> 00:39:53,759
Speaker 1: YEAR i, MEAN i can't even imagine how he was

777
00:39:53,800 --> 00:39:56,719
Speaker 1: able to get the competitive juices. GOING i, mean sure

778
00:39:56,800 --> 00:40:00,560
Speaker 1: they were, there, absolutely but put him in a Like

779
00:40:00,640 --> 00:40:05,600
Speaker 1: boston in a playoff, race more, competition going for a division,

780
00:40:05,600 --> 00:40:08,719
Speaker 1: title possibly even A World. Series this, YEAR i think

781
00:40:08,719 --> 00:40:11,799
Speaker 1: we're gonna See crochet amped. UP i think he's gonna

782
00:40:11,800 --> 00:40:15,920
Speaker 1: have himself a great. Year this pickup was so huge

783
00:40:16,280 --> 00:40:19,359
Speaker 1: in the, offseason BUT i think The Red sox they

784
00:40:19,480 --> 00:40:22,040
Speaker 1: brought him in at the right, time, Right he's had

785
00:40:22,040 --> 00:40:25,680
Speaker 1: a full off season, now another year removed From tommy

786
00:40:25,760 --> 00:40:29,759
Speaker 1: john full off season to get himself, recovered with a

787
00:40:29,800 --> 00:40:34,239
Speaker 1: better pitching pitching. Staff right, now not just from a

788
00:40:34,280 --> 00:40:36,840
Speaker 1: player point of, view but from a personnel point of,

789
00:40:36,920 --> 00:40:40,160
Speaker 1: VIEW i think the sky's the. LIMIT i Think Garrett,

790
00:40:40,200 --> 00:40:42,160
Speaker 1: CROCHET i think he's gonna win The Cy young this.

791
00:40:42,200 --> 00:40:44,319
Speaker 1: Year that's my. Pick and that's really not even just

792
00:40:44,320 --> 00:40:46,279
Speaker 1: a biased. PICK i just, think you, know when you're,

793
00:40:46,320 --> 00:40:51,520
Speaker 1: comparing you know to guys Like Trek scouobel out. There you, know,

794
00:40:51,600 --> 00:40:55,319
Speaker 1: Yeah trek scouble was absolutely amazing last, year but you,

00:40:55,360 --> 00:40:58,399
Speaker 1: know can he do that? AGAIN i don't. KNOW i don't.

799
00:41:07,760 --> 00:41:12,640
Speaker 1: potential in the. World that guy is just. Ridiculous So Jacob,

806
00:41:30,760 --> 00:41:32,520
Speaker 1: get more out of. Him who, knows maybe he has

807

Speaker 1: SCOOBLE i think he's gonna be very. Good but is

812
00:41:50,560 --> 00:41:53,560
Speaker 1: he gonna be able to replicate replicate what he did last?

813
00:41:53,600 --> 00:41:56,320

817
00:42:04,200 --> 00:42:07,920
Speaker 1: cole you know obviously that guy could definitely do some.

818
00:42:08,040 --> 00:42:10,359
Speaker 1: Things but isn't gonna be better than WHAT i Think

819
00:42:10,440 --> 00:42:14,520
Speaker 1: crochet can. DO i don't. Know crochet's my. Pick now

820
00:42:14,640 --> 00:42:18,400
Speaker 1: For Walker, buehler this is where it gets a little. Interesting,

821
00:42:18,480 --> 00:42:21,560
Speaker 1: now this is Where i'm gonna sell on this. ONE

822
00:42:21,760 --> 00:42:23,640
Speaker 1: i don't Think Walker buehler is gonna be a top

823
00:42:23,680 --> 00:42:27,239
Speaker 1: five finish in the Cy young BUT i, think kind

824
00:42:27,239 --> 00:42:29,319
Speaker 1: of Like, crochet The Red sox brought him in at

825
00:42:29,320 --> 00:42:31,359
Speaker 1: the right. Time this is another guy that came back

826
00:42:31,360 --> 00:42:34,920
Speaker 1: From Tommy, john his Second Tommy. John he had some

827
00:42:34,960 --> 00:42:37,560
Speaker 1: issues during the season last, year but when it came

828
00:42:37,560 --> 00:42:40,880
Speaker 1: into the, postseason he figured himself, out he got himself

829
00:42:41,000 --> 00:42:44,200
Speaker 1: right and he pitched very well as a normal off.

830
00:42:44,239 --> 00:42:48,600
Speaker 1: Season now came into spring looking, good just pitched very.

831
00:42:48,640 --> 00:42:52,160
Speaker 1: Well in his debut not too long. Ago everything was looking.

832
00:42:52,239 --> 00:42:55,480
Speaker 1: Great baul was coming out of the hand just free and,

833
00:42:55,600 --> 00:43:01,040
Speaker 1: easy good, movement good shape on all the. Pitches he looked. Great,

834
00:43:01,719 --> 00:43:04,520
Speaker 1: however you, know is it gonna be enough to finish top?

835
00:43:04,600 --> 00:43:06,880
Speaker 1: Five and you know he has bring up The Andrew bailey.

836
00:43:06,960 --> 00:43:09,080
Speaker 1: Factor you know there are gonna BE i think some

837
00:43:09,200 --> 00:43:11,680
Speaker 1: tweaks when it comes to. HIM i think they're gonna

838
00:43:11,719 --> 00:43:14,239
Speaker 1: reduce the fastball usage a little. Bit that was his

839
00:43:14,320 --> 00:43:16,239
Speaker 1: most used pitched and we all know what The Red

840
00:43:16,280 --> 00:43:19,239
Speaker 1: sox did last. Year they reduced the heck out of.

841
00:43:19,239 --> 00:43:23,560
Speaker 1: Fastballs so you, KNOW i think they're gonna start utilizing the,

842
00:43:23,600 --> 00:43:26,080
Speaker 1: sinker maybe a bit more of the, cutter, Right they're

843
00:43:26,080 --> 00:43:28,520
Speaker 1: gonna go with that sweeper a little. BIT i Think

844
00:43:28,920 --> 00:43:31,120
Speaker 1: bueller is gonna have himself a very good. Year will

845
00:43:31,120 --> 00:43:34,960
Speaker 1: it be enough for top? FIVE i could See bueller

846
00:43:36,160 --> 00:43:39,560
Speaker 1: being like a top fifteen guy in the majors this.

847
00:43:39,680 --> 00:43:43,360
Speaker 1: YEAR i think he's gonna be very. Good fangrafts right, Now,

848
00:43:43,880 --> 00:43:46,640
Speaker 1: fangrafts their projections are a little weird because they have

849
00:43:46,719 --> 00:43:51,400
Speaker 1: him having games started and games out of the, bullpen

850
00:43:51,480 --> 00:43:53,560
Speaker 1: which is. WEIRD i don't know about, that So i'm

851
00:43:53,560 --> 00:43:57,399
Speaker 1: gonna go to just HIS zips. Projections they have him

852
00:43:57,440 --> 00:44:01,120
Speaker 1: projected for twenty four. STARTS i think because of the

853
00:44:01,120 --> 00:44:03,759
Speaker 1: innings that he got under his belt last, year not

854
00:44:03,920 --> 00:44:06,319
Speaker 1: just in the regular, season but in the. POSTSEASON i

855
00:44:06,320 --> 00:44:09,720
Speaker 1: think you're gonna see him he, should if he's, healthy

856
00:44:10,040 --> 00:44:12,200
Speaker 1: should get at least twenty five. Starts but they're looking

857
00:44:12,239 --> 00:44:15,040
Speaker 1: at a three point nine to two on THE, era

858
00:44:15,280 --> 00:44:16,960
Speaker 1: a three point eight to four on THE, fip right

859
00:44:17,000 --> 00:44:20,359
Speaker 1: around eight strikeouts per. NINE i think eight to nine

860
00:44:20,400 --> 00:44:23,640
Speaker 1: strikeouts per nine is, possible especially getting him With bailey

861
00:44:23,680 --> 00:44:27,359
Speaker 1: adjusting that mix a little, Bit especially with how the

862
00:44:27,440 --> 00:44:30,480
Speaker 1: stuff is looking early, ON i think you're gonna see

863
00:44:30,520 --> 00:44:34,640
Speaker 1: a good season at A, bueller a Cy young caliber,

864
00:44:34,719 --> 00:44:37,680
Speaker 1: season a top Five Cy young voting. Season i'm not

865
00:44:37,719 --> 00:44:39,640
Speaker 1: so sure about. THAT i think he's gonna be very.

866
00:44:39,719 --> 00:44:43,880
Speaker 1: Solid i'll go crochet, here but not. Bueller moving, on

867
00:44:44,960 --> 00:44:47,520
Speaker 1: we have a couple. More we have a couple. More

868
00:44:48,360 --> 00:44:52,680
Speaker 1: we Got Dylan dylan m g l z On. Twitter

869
00:44:52,719 --> 00:44:55,960
Speaker 1: he says, here The Red sox are the only team

870
00:44:56,560 --> 00:45:00,239
Speaker 1: to make the playoffs in The American League. East this is.

871
00:45:00,280 --> 00:45:03,640
Speaker 1: INTERESTING i just mentioned earlier The orioles just mentioned The.

872
00:45:03,719 --> 00:45:08,040
Speaker 1: YANKEES i don't. KNOW i don't. Know and, hey, listen

873
00:45:08,080 --> 00:45:11,239
Speaker 1: you got The Blue jays, right they improved this. Offseason,

874
00:45:12,640 --> 00:45:15,919
Speaker 1: hey even The. Rays they're always a sneaky. Team right,

875
00:45:15,960 --> 00:45:20,160
Speaker 1: Now i'm thinking The rays and The Blue, jays they're

876
00:45:20,200 --> 00:45:22,640
Speaker 1: gonna be in the bottom, right the Blue, jays they

877
00:45:22,640 --> 00:45:25,320
Speaker 1: did get. BETTER i just wonder if it's gonna be

878
00:45:25,440 --> 00:45:28,800
Speaker 1: enough to compete with the likes of The Red, Sox

879
00:45:28,880 --> 00:45:31,160
Speaker 1: yankees and The. Orioles you, KNOW i think they're gonna

880
00:45:31,160 --> 00:45:33,560
Speaker 1: be a better, team but how much BETTER i don't.

881
00:45:33,600 --> 00:45:36,880
Speaker 1: Know i'm a little, Uh i'm a little eerie about that.

882
00:45:36,960 --> 00:45:40,480
Speaker 1: One now here's my. THING i do think The Red

883
00:45:40,520 --> 00:45:42,600
Speaker 1: sox right, NOW i am picking them to make the.

884
00:45:42,640 --> 00:45:44,760
Speaker 1: POSTSEASON i think there's just a lot of good things

885
00:45:44,840 --> 00:45:48,040
Speaker 1: GOING i think they have a lot of, talent both

886
00:45:48,080 --> 00:45:51,640
Speaker 1: at the major league level and in the minor leagues

887
00:45:51,680 --> 00:45:53,759
Speaker 1: that is ready to come up and, contribute both on

888
00:45:53,800 --> 00:45:56,920
Speaker 1: the position player and pitching side of. Things they're getting

889
00:45:56,920 --> 00:45:59,879
Speaker 1: guys coming back from. Injuries they have a good vibe going.

890
00:45:59,880 --> 00:46:02,760
Speaker 1: On you, know there's just a lot of good. THINGS

891
00:46:02,840 --> 00:46:06,640
Speaker 1: i feel like there's just a good, mojo and, usually you,

892
00:46:06,680 --> 00:46:10,600
Speaker 1: know teams that are, successful there's a good mojo coming

893
00:46:10,600 --> 00:46:14,000
Speaker 1: into the. SEASON i think everyone's fired. UP i think

894
00:46:14,040 --> 00:46:17,480
Speaker 1: everyone's feeling great. Again they're gonna have to stay. Healthy

895
00:46:17,560 --> 00:46:19,960
Speaker 1: that's gonna be a big. Thing but another thing to

896
00:46:19,960 --> 00:46:22,880
Speaker 1: pay attention to is The Red sox at the. Deadline,

897
00:46:23,440 --> 00:46:26,719
Speaker 1: again if they are in, contention if they have a you,

898
00:46:26,719 --> 00:46:30,040
Speaker 1: know if they're arranged for the division or have a good,

899
00:46:30,080 --> 00:46:32,719
Speaker 1: spot a good handle on the one of the wildcard,

900
00:46:32,760 --> 00:46:34,920
Speaker 1: SPOTS i think they're gonna be able to make a

901
00:46:34,960 --> 00:46:37,759
Speaker 1: move at the. Deadline they have the resources, now they

902
00:46:37,760 --> 00:46:40,960
Speaker 1: have really really built up that farm over the last

903
00:46:41,000 --> 00:46:43,600
Speaker 1: couple of. Years you, know you've seen some guys really

904
00:46:43,640 --> 00:46:46,440
Speaker 1: develop here over the last. Year so they're gonna have

905
00:46:46,440 --> 00:46:48,000
Speaker 1: the resources to be able to make a. Move SO

906
00:46:48,080 --> 00:46:49,960
Speaker 1: i do think The Red sox are going to make the.

907
00:46:49,960 --> 00:46:54,880
Speaker 1: POSTSEASON i really. DO i at least at least should

908
00:46:54,920 --> 00:46:57,560
Speaker 1: be the second or third wildcard in my. Opinion now

909
00:46:57,560 --> 00:47:00,160
Speaker 1: when it comes to The orioles and The, Yankees i'm

910
00:47:00,160 --> 00:47:01,920
Speaker 1: not so sure about this. One you, know when it

911
00:47:01,960 --> 00:47:06,239
Speaker 1: comes to The orioles, again they just got weaker this past.

912
00:47:06,320 --> 00:47:10,399
Speaker 1: Year you, Know i'm very afraid of losing a guy

913
00:47:10,480 --> 00:47:13,200
Speaker 1: Like Corbyn burns at the top of the. Rotation you're

914
00:47:13,280 --> 00:47:16,359
Speaker 1: losing a big bat In anthony Santan Dare and you, know,

915
00:47:16,480 --> 00:47:19,200
Speaker 1: sure you brought In tyler, O'Neill who also has a

916
00:47:19,239 --> 00:47:21,880
Speaker 1: lot of, Power but you know what's it going to

917
00:47:21,960 --> 00:47:25,279
Speaker 1: look like with the Health, Santander he's been, healthy so

918
00:47:25,520 --> 00:47:27,480
Speaker 1: you know what's that going to look. Like, yes they

919
00:47:27,520 --> 00:47:29,960
Speaker 1: have a lot of, bats a lot of young bats as,

920
00:47:30,000 --> 00:47:34,800
Speaker 1: well Obviously Gunnar. Henderson, uh you, Know Colton cows Or

921
00:47:34,880 --> 00:47:38,719
Speaker 1: Jordan westburg looked great last, Year King Jackson holliday take

922
00:47:38,760 --> 00:47:41,680
Speaker 1: that step forward this. Year you, Know Adley rushman is

923
00:47:41,719 --> 00:47:43,600
Speaker 1: he going to be able to improve on a bit

924
00:47:43,640 --> 00:47:46,600
Speaker 1: of a down year this past. Year so The orioles

925
00:47:46,600 --> 00:47:48,960
Speaker 1: have a lot of potential when it comes to the

926
00:47:48,960 --> 00:47:51,400
Speaker 1: offensive side of, things they should be one of the

927
00:47:51,440 --> 00:47:53,360
Speaker 1: best lineups in the. GAME i do worry about the

928
00:47:53,360 --> 00:47:56,040
Speaker 1: pitching side of, things, Right Zach, eflin you know he

929
00:47:56,200 --> 00:47:58,840
Speaker 1: was dinged up a smidge last. Year is having a

930
00:47:58,880 --> 00:48:02,640
Speaker 1: couple of issues of the. Show Grayser rodriguez missed a

931
00:48:02,680 --> 00:48:05,320
Speaker 1: lot of. TIME i Think Grayson rodriguez he is a

932
00:48:05,360 --> 00:48:08,960
Speaker 1: big factor here for The orioles in how successful they

933
00:48:09,000 --> 00:48:12,560
Speaker 1: are if he's healthy full. SEASON i do think this

934
00:48:12,680 --> 00:48:14,719
Speaker 1: is a guy that has the potential to be the

935
00:48:14,760 --> 00:48:17,400
Speaker 1: ace of your. Staff his stuff is that. GOOD i

936
00:48:17,400 --> 00:48:21,080
Speaker 1: think g rod he's a BIG x factor. Here he's

937
00:48:21,160 --> 00:48:24,000
Speaker 1: not just a he's a, factor but he's also just

938
00:48:24,040 --> 00:48:26,759
Speaker 1: AN x factor that makes. Sense at the same, Time you're,

939
00:48:26,800 --> 00:48:30,160
Speaker 1: right you brought In, Moreton, sigano a couple of veteran,

940
00:48:30,200 --> 00:48:31,640
Speaker 1: Guys but how much are they going to be able

941
00:48:31,640 --> 00:48:35,440
Speaker 1: to give. YOU i think there's a chance when it

942
00:48:35,440 --> 00:48:38,000
Speaker 1: comes to The, orioles when it comes to the pitching

943
00:48:38,080 --> 00:48:40,800
Speaker 1: side of, THINGS i do worry about. THAT i wonder

944
00:48:40,840 --> 00:48:44,200
Speaker 1: if This orioles team winning ninety one games last year

945
00:48:44,640 --> 00:48:47,839
Speaker 1: with The Red sox getting better with The, yankees even

946
00:48:47,880 --> 00:48:50,560
Speaker 1: though yes they Lost. Soto they still. Have they brought

947
00:48:50,560 --> 00:48:52,520
Speaker 1: in a lot of guys this. Offseason they still have

948
00:48:52,520 --> 00:48:54,680
Speaker 1: a lot of talent. THERE i wonder if you could

949
00:48:54,680 --> 00:48:59,040
Speaker 1: see a situation where The orioles they miss out of

950
00:48:59,080 --> 00:49:01,520
Speaker 1: the postseason by like a, game you, know you know

951
00:49:01,560 --> 00:49:03,239
Speaker 1: WHAT i, Mean like they're gonna be right. There but

952
00:49:03,480 --> 00:49:06,840
Speaker 1: when you got all this competition in The American, league you, know,

953
00:49:06,920 --> 00:49:09,719
Speaker 1: again a team like The RANGERS i think is a

954
00:49:09,719 --> 00:49:11,759
Speaker 1: team to look out for this. Year you, know The

955
00:49:11,800 --> 00:49:15,240
Speaker 1: MARINERS i think should be better after the managerial changed

956
00:49:15,280 --> 00:49:20,120
Speaker 1: this past, year bringing In, Martinez Edgar martinez to lead

957
00:49:20,920 --> 00:49:24,080
Speaker 1: the hitting side of. Things you, know The mariners are

958
00:49:24,080 --> 00:49:26,240
Speaker 1: going to be, strong you know WHAT i. Mean like

959
00:49:26,239 --> 00:49:27,960
Speaker 1: LIKE i, said even The Blue, jays, right you, know

960
00:49:28,200 --> 00:49:30,920
Speaker 1: they did. Improve could they be right? There we'll. See

961
00:49:31,200 --> 00:49:33,560
Speaker 1: but you, know even in the central, right you, know The,

962
00:49:33,600 --> 00:49:35,719
Speaker 1: tigers you, know this is a team that went on

963
00:49:35,760 --> 00:49:39,040
Speaker 1: a good run last. Year The guardians looked great last.

964
00:49:39,080 --> 00:49:40,680
Speaker 1: Year The royals are right. There SO i think there's

965
00:49:40,719 --> 00:49:44,160
Speaker 1: a chance where a team like The orioles they could

966
00:49:44,280 --> 00:49:47,640
Speaker 1: end up just missing. Out AND i just wonder about the.

967
00:49:47,719 --> 00:49:49,840
Speaker 1: HEALTH i wonder about the pitching side of things with

968
00:49:49,920 --> 00:49:52,440
Speaker 1: The orioles and then The, yankees, right you know The

969
00:49:52,520 --> 00:49:57,080
Speaker 1: yankees right? Now obviously you, know Losing soda was a big.

970
00:49:57,120 --> 00:49:59,759
Speaker 1: Blow you did bring In. BELLINGER i think that was

971
00:49:59,840 --> 00:50:02,600
Speaker 1: a a decent fallback. OPTION i think he's gonna fit

972
00:50:02,680 --> 00:50:04,920
Speaker 1: very well At Yankee. Stadium you are gonna get a

973
00:50:04,920 --> 00:50:07,360
Speaker 1: full season out Of Jazz. CHISM i feel like With,

974
00:50:07,560 --> 00:50:11,200
Speaker 1: jazz you know when it comes to, him, right what's

975
00:50:11,200 --> 00:50:14,000
Speaker 1: the health gonna look? Like you, know there always seems

976
00:50:14,040 --> 00:50:16,800
Speaker 1: to be some kind of a at least a whisper

977
00:50:17,160 --> 00:50:20,080
Speaker 1: off the field with. Him you, know we'll see how

978
00:50:20,120 --> 00:50:22,560
Speaker 1: that looks over a full. Season you know what happens

979
00:50:22,600 --> 00:50:25,880
Speaker 1: the third, base you know As Waldo, cabrera Oswald, PERRAZZA

980
00:50:26,120 --> 00:50:29,239
Speaker 1: Dj Le. Mayhew is this guy just gonna? RETIRE i don't.

981
00:50:29,239 --> 00:50:33,560
Speaker 1: Know yankee fans seem to want that the. Rotation you,

982
00:50:33,600 --> 00:50:36,560
Speaker 1: know you just Lost Luis. Heel who. Knows could that

983
00:50:36,640 --> 00:50:39,080
Speaker 1: end up being a lingering thing throughout the. Year that

984
00:50:39,120 --> 00:50:40,839
Speaker 1: would be a big. Loss he had a great year last.

985
00:50:40,920 --> 00:50:43,640
Speaker 1: Year but you did bring In. Freed you're gonna need

986
00:50:43,640 --> 00:50:46,600
Speaker 1: better production at A. Stroman he hasn't looked, great uh

987
00:50:46,640 --> 00:50:49,560
Speaker 1: you Know, Bullpen, yeah, Sure Devin. Williams you, know one

988
00:50:49,560 --> 00:50:52,040
Speaker 1: of the best closers in, Baseball Luke. Weaver going back

989
00:50:52,040 --> 00:50:54,600
Speaker 1: to the setup. Role you got some good arms, here,

990
00:50:54,719 --> 00:50:57,759
Speaker 1: right you got you, Know Cruz. Hamilton you brought Back Tim. Hill.

991
00:50:58,680 --> 00:51:01,080
Speaker 1: SEE i still think The yankees are gonna be one

992
00:51:01,120 --> 00:51:04,480
Speaker 1: of those postseason. Teams If i'm looking at, IT i

993
00:51:04,520 --> 00:51:07,880
Speaker 1: think The Red sox and The orioles right, now those

994
00:51:07,920 --> 00:51:10,560
Speaker 1: are the teams THAT i think are gonna. Be they're

995
00:51:10,560 --> 00:51:14,160
Speaker 1: gonna be that other. TEAM i don't think The Red

996
00:51:14,200 --> 00:51:16,799
Speaker 1: sox are GOING i don't think there's only gonna be

997
00:51:16,800 --> 00:51:20,560
Speaker 1: one team out of The American league right. NOW i

998
00:51:20,560 --> 00:51:23,000
Speaker 1: think there's gonna be, two And i'm Thinking Red sox

999
00:51:23,040 --> 00:51:26,360
Speaker 1: and The yankees right. NOW i think The ORIOLES i

1000
00:51:26,400 --> 00:51:28,520
Speaker 1: think you could see all. Three to be honest with,

1001
00:51:28,600 --> 00:51:31,239
Speaker 1: YOU i think there is that possibility as. WELL i

1002
00:51:31,440 --> 00:51:33,600
Speaker 1: just think there's gonna be more than one team out

1003
00:51:33,600 --> 00:51:36,960
Speaker 1: of The American. League American League east is What i'm.

1004
00:51:37,000 --> 00:51:38,879
Speaker 1: Saying But i'm gonna sell on. THIS i don't think

1005
00:51:38,880 --> 00:51:41,839
Speaker 1: The Red sox will be the only team to make

1006
00:51:41,880 --> 00:51:45,560
Speaker 1: the playoffs out of THE Ale. East now we got one.

1007
00:51:45,600 --> 00:51:49,600
Speaker 1: More we gotta end this on the highest note possible

1008
00:51:50,120 --> 00:51:53,480
Speaker 1: The Red sox make it to The World. SERIES i, mean,

1009
00:51:53,560 --> 00:51:56,839
Speaker 1: LISTEN i haven't really gone through my predictions as of right.

1010
00:51:56,880 --> 00:51:58,800
Speaker 1: NOW i haven't really thought it, out you. KNOW i

1011
00:51:58,880 --> 00:52:01,640
Speaker 1: kind of crunched the numbers as much as, possible. RIGHT

1012
00:52:01,680 --> 00:52:04,200
Speaker 1: i give my gut feeling on. Things i'm usually very

1013
00:52:04,239 --> 00:52:07,560
Speaker 1: wrong with my. PREDICTIONS i think The American league it's

1014
00:52:07,640 --> 00:52:13,080
Speaker 1: such an interesting it's such an interesting league right. Now.

1015
00:52:13,160 --> 00:52:15,560
Speaker 1: Right you, know when you're looking at The National, league

1016
00:52:18,000 --> 00:52:20,319
Speaker 1: there's a lot of beef at the top of The National, league.

1017
00:52:20,400 --> 00:52:25,319
Speaker 1: Right obviously you got The, dodgers, obviously you, know The

1018
00:52:25,320 --> 00:52:28,040
Speaker 1: braves are going to be right. There The phillies are always,

1019
00:52:28,080 --> 00:52:31,359
Speaker 1: strong The mets Adding, sodo the D backs look, good

1020
00:52:31,400 --> 00:52:35,279
Speaker 1: The cubs look, good, Right so you, know when it

1021
00:52:35,320 --> 00:52:37,480
Speaker 1: comes to The National, LEAGUE i think it's a bit more.

1022
00:52:37,520 --> 00:52:41,160
Speaker 1: Predictable but The American league right, NOW i think it's

1023
00:52:41,320 --> 00:52:44,600
Speaker 1: just very up in the. Air. Right there's a lot

1024
00:52:44,600 --> 00:52:47,640
Speaker 1: of things that could, happen, right you, know especially from

1025
00:52:47,680 --> 00:52:49,440
Speaker 1: a health point of, VIEW i feel like there's a

1026
00:52:49,480 --> 00:52:52,560
Speaker 1: lot of injuries to pay attention to in The American

1027
00:52:52,680 --> 00:52:54,840
Speaker 1: league with a lot of these, teams, right you, know

1028
00:52:55,320 --> 00:52:57,680
Speaker 1: even when you're talking about The. Yankees you Know Aaron

1029
00:52:57,840 --> 00:53:00,400
Speaker 1: judge not too long. Ago you, know this is a

1030
00:53:00,400 --> 00:53:02,840
Speaker 1: guy that was considered a big injury risk just a

1031
00:53:02,840 --> 00:53:05,279
Speaker 1: couple of years. Ago he missed a lot of. Time The,

1032
00:53:05,400 --> 00:53:09,400
Speaker 1: Rangers they're full of injury, risks, right you, know LIKE

1033
00:53:09,440 --> 00:53:11,640
Speaker 1: i said with The, orioles you got some injury risk there,

1034
00:53:11,680 --> 00:53:16,040
Speaker 1: too you, know a. LOT i think there's more unpredictability

1035
00:53:16,320 --> 00:53:18,759
Speaker 1: in The American. League so this is WHERE i think

1036
00:53:18,800 --> 00:53:22,880
Speaker 1: The Red, sox if they end up staying, healthy, RIGHT

1037
00:53:22,920 --> 00:53:24,279
Speaker 1: i think a lot of things are going to have

1038
00:53:24,320 --> 00:53:27,200
Speaker 1: to work out for. This but if The Red sox stay,

1039
00:53:27,239 --> 00:53:30,480
Speaker 1: healthy especially on the pitching side of, things and they

1040
00:53:30,600 --> 00:53:33,400
Speaker 1: keep these good vibes, going and they get this young

1041
00:53:33,560 --> 00:53:38,080
Speaker 1: talent that comes, up you, know Like Roman, anthony Like Christian,

1042
00:53:38,120 --> 00:53:41,520
Speaker 1: campbell Like Marcel, meyer, right whatever it may, BE i

1043
00:53:41,560 --> 00:53:43,680
Speaker 1: think there's a lot of good things going for The

1044
00:53:43,680 --> 00:53:46,680
Speaker 1: Red sox right. Now they just feel a lot deeper

1045
00:53:46,719 --> 00:53:49,520
Speaker 1: than THEY'VE i CAN'T i can't remember the last time

1046
00:53:49,520 --> 00:53:52,920
Speaker 1: they felt this, deep, Right and you go, back, obviously

1047
00:53:53,040 --> 00:53:55,000
Speaker 1: you know twenty, eighteen it just felt like you had

1048
00:53:55,080 --> 00:53:57,880
Speaker 1: talent for. Days but in a, way you, know this

1049
00:53:58,000 --> 00:54:02,280
Speaker 1: team especially from an organizational point of, view they feel

1050
00:54:02,320 --> 00:54:04,439
Speaker 1: deeper than that. Team i'm not going to say they're

1051
00:54:04,440 --> 00:54:07,279
Speaker 1: more talented than that twenty eighteen. Team that team was just.

1052
00:54:07,400 --> 00:54:12,160
Speaker 1: Ridiculous but when you're looking at it from an organizational

1053
00:54:12,200 --> 00:54:14,480
Speaker 1: point of, view, right guys down In TRIPLE, a DOUBLE

1054
00:54:14,520 --> 00:54:16,560
Speaker 1: a that could come up with. CONTRIBUTE i think The

1055
00:54:16,600 --> 00:54:20,720
Speaker 1: Red sox arguably could be stronger than the twenty eighteen

1056
00:54:21,120 --> 00:54:24,279
Speaker 1: organization at the, time not the major league. Team but,

1057
00:54:24,719 --> 00:54:27,080
Speaker 1: again you, know it's so hard to, say BUT i

1058
00:54:27,120 --> 00:54:29,640
Speaker 1: think there is a chance where if everything goes, right

1059
00:54:29,920 --> 00:54:32,680
Speaker 1: and this kind of goes for every, team, right BUT

1060
00:54:32,719 --> 00:54:35,080
Speaker 1: i think for The Red, sox especially because they have

1061
00:54:35,280 --> 00:54:37,680
Speaker 1: a lot of talent on the pitching side of. Things,

1062

1066
00:54:49,239 --> 00:54:51,359

1070
00:55:01,200 --> 00:55:03,640

1071
00:55:03,680 --> 00:55:06,719
Speaker 1: this year and possibly, contribute, right you, know looking At

1072
00:55:06,800 --> 00:55:09,520
Speaker 1: Luis guerrero for The, bullpen that could maybe do some big.

1073
00:55:09,560 --> 00:55:12,200
Speaker 1: Things there's a lot of guys that could. HELP i

1074
00:55:12,239 --> 00:55:16,600
Speaker 1: do wonder if The Red sox are deep enough on

1075
00:55:16,680 --> 00:55:18,759
Speaker 1: the picturing side of things to be able to go

1076
00:55:18,840 --> 00:55:21,520
Speaker 1: on a run that's gonna be able to you, know

1077
00:55:21,800 --> 00:55:24,560
Speaker 1: carry them to The World. Series because there is some

1078
00:55:24,719 --> 00:55:28,600
Speaker 1: injury risk in this. Rotation you, know that is just

1079
00:55:28,680 --> 00:55:31,200
Speaker 1: being realistic at the end of the. Day, YES i Love.

1080
00:55:31,239 --> 00:55:33,719
Speaker 1: CROCHET i love the addition Of Walker. Bueler you, know

1081
00:55:34,680 --> 00:55:37,160
Speaker 1: look As, gielito, right what's gonna happen with? Him? Right

1082
00:55:37,160 --> 00:55:39,480
Speaker 1: he just at elbow, surgery, Right so there is injury.

1083
00:55:39,560 --> 00:55:42,160
Speaker 1: RISK i wonder if The Red sox are gonna be deep.

1084
00:55:42,239 --> 00:55:44,719
Speaker 1: Enough that's WHY i do. WONDER i keep saying the word.

1085
00:55:44,719 --> 00:55:48,480
Speaker 1: Wonder but someone Like Sandy, alkintara if that could end

1086
00:55:48,520 --> 00:55:51,600
Speaker 1: up being something or just going after a rental where

1087
00:55:51,719 --> 00:55:54,680
Speaker 1: like A Dylan cees or A Michael. King you, KNOW

1088
00:55:54,920 --> 00:55:57,520
Speaker 1: i think that could be, possible depending on how things shake.

1089
00:55:57,560 --> 00:56:00,439
Speaker 1: Out SO i do wonder about the depth the little.

1090
00:56:00,440 --> 00:56:02,839
Speaker 1: Bit on the position player side of, Things i'm less

1091
00:56:02,840 --> 00:56:06,600
Speaker 1: worried because even if someone Like story goes, down you,

1092
00:56:06,640 --> 00:56:08,520
Speaker 1: know you got a couple of guys right there that

1093
00:56:08,600 --> 00:56:11,640
Speaker 1: can fill in in the. Infield however it shakes Out,

1094
00:56:12,080 --> 00:56:14,680
Speaker 1: roman you, KNOW willi or bray you if he's a little, slow,

1095
00:56:15,000 --> 00:56:17,520
Speaker 1: right if you know things aren't going quite, right you

1096
00:56:17,640 --> 00:56:20,399
Speaker 1: Got Roman anthony who looks like he's ready to take

1097
00:56:20,400 --> 00:56:22,920
Speaker 1: a step. Forward there's a lot of and then when

1098
00:56:22,960 --> 00:56:26,359
Speaker 1: you you look at the the progression side of things

1099
00:56:26,400 --> 00:56:29,560
Speaker 1: of guys taking a step, forward not Just, anthony but

1100
00:56:29,920 --> 00:56:33,439
Speaker 1: guys Like, rafaela who could maybe do some more this, year, Right,

1101
00:56:33,719 --> 00:56:37,160
Speaker 1: kasias what's he gonna look? Like obviously the health is

1102
00:56:37,200 --> 00:56:39,840
Speaker 1: a big. Thing there's a lot of good things for

1103
00:56:39,880 --> 00:56:42,479
Speaker 1: The Red. SOX i just think they're gonna have to stay,

1104
00:56:42,480 --> 00:56:45,360
Speaker 1: healthy and they're gonna have to stay healthy on the

1105
00:56:45,360 --> 00:56:49,040
Speaker 1: pitching side of. Things in my, opinion my, UH i don't.

1106
00:56:49,040 --> 00:56:51,440
Speaker 1: Know Maybe i'm just a little bit more pessimistic as

1107
00:56:51,440 --> 00:56:54,359
Speaker 1: A Red sox. Fan i'll probably sell on this. ONE

1108
00:56:55,320 --> 00:56:57,279
Speaker 1: i just really, Like i'm gonna be honest with, YOU

1109
00:56:57,320 --> 00:56:59,319
Speaker 1: i really like The, rangers but a lot of things

1110
00:56:59,320 --> 00:57:01,839
Speaker 1: are gonna have to go for them. TOO i think

1111
00:57:01,840 --> 00:57:05,640
Speaker 1: The Red sox have a good chance to appear as

1112
00:57:06,239 --> 00:57:09,719
Speaker 1: The American league representative for the world. Series but if

1113
00:57:09,719 --> 00:57:12,759
Speaker 1: you're accounting for all the things that could, HAPPEN i

1114
00:57:12,800 --> 00:57:15,120
Speaker 1: think there's a lot of things that could end up

1115
00:57:15,200 --> 00:57:18,640
Speaker 1: causing some, issues especially for the picturing for The Red.

1116
00:57:18,720 --> 00:57:22,440
Speaker 1: Sox but there is definitely enough talent here AND i

1117
00:57:22,480 --> 00:57:25,080
Speaker 1: think the mojo is very. GOOD i think the feelings are.

1118
00:57:25,080 --> 00:57:28,480
Speaker 1: GOOD i think things are just looking up for them right.

1119
00:57:28,520 --> 00:57:31,160
Speaker 1: Now So i'll probably say no on, this BUT i

1120
