I am 0:01:08.920 --> 0:01:12.240 Greg Souman joined today as we are when he feels 0:01:12.280 --> 0:01:15.039 like being here. It's Mike Gloria. What's going on? Mike? 0:01:16.959 --> 0:01:20.680 I missed one week. One week, that's it and great. 0:01:20.760 --> 0:01:23.680 I'm sorry for the shadows. I bought some lights. I'm 0:01:23.720 --> 0:01:26.080 trying to make it better. But I was in like 0:01:26.160 --> 0:01:28.880 an hour of l A traffic before coming on the show, 0:01:29.000 --> 0:01:31.680 so I got home with like five minutes before, so 0:01:31.800 --> 0:01:34.320 I couldn't really get rid of the shadows too much. 0:01:34.680 --> 0:01:38.360 Here uh here, like traffic is very terrible, dude. I 0:01:38.400 --> 0:01:40.240 had to go like ten miles. It took me over 0:01:40.240 --> 0:01:43.160 an hour. Oh my god's harriful, Frank, I don't know. 0:01:43.240 --> 0:01:46.120 You don't you lose it, man, I would listen to 0:01:46.160 --> 0:01:48.720 a lot of podcasts. I guess that's that's the best 0:01:48.720 --> 0:01:50.520 way to look at it. But Mikey, how does it 0:01:50.560 --> 0:01:53.080 compare to you know, do you really miss the R 0:01:53.160 --> 0:01:57.560 train here? Do you really miss public transportation? I do 0:01:57.640 --> 0:02:01.800 not miss the train at all, um I do. I 0:02:01.840 --> 0:02:04.600 don't know. New York traffic is pretty bad itself, but 0:02:04.680 --> 0:02:07.120 it's just l A is the worst I've ever experienced. 0:02:07.120 --> 0:02:09.079 But luckily for me, and I feel like a lot 0:02:09.080 --> 0:02:11.280 of people out here, like you try your best to 0:02:11.400 --> 0:02:15.200 not have to get on the highway, so I typically 0:02:15.480 --> 0:02:17.480 do a good job of avoiding it, but today it 0:02:17.520 --> 0:02:20.000 was just inevitable. I've been on that highway to when 0:02:20.000 --> 0:02:21.960 I was in l A. It's like it's like six 0:02:22.080 --> 0:02:25.800 or eight lanes wide right, Like it's it's absolutely insane. Yeah, 0:02:25.800 --> 0:02:27.919 the four oh five. Luckily I wasn't on that today. 0:02:27.960 --> 0:02:30.239 I was. I was coming back from downtown l A. 0:02:30.360 --> 0:02:33.959 But yeah, the four oh five is is atrocious. Wild 0:02:34.440 --> 0:02:36.520 are you doing, but had you sleep? It's great, man, 0:02:36.680 --> 0:02:39.560 sounds really good. It's not pretty good, toothing. What it was. 0:02:39.639 --> 0:02:42.359 I was watching Curry versus Curry, which is tons of fun, 0:02:42.960 --> 0:02:45.679 tons of fun, and the game ended and I was 0:02:45.720 --> 0:02:47.639 just really choked that one away and went to bed. 0:02:47.639 --> 0:02:50.160 Woke up to some panic text messages about six fourteen, 0:02:50.560 --> 0:02:54.239 sorry six so nine this morning? What panic text messages? 0:02:54.240 --> 0:02:56.600 I didn't even know what happened here? What? Yeah, so 0:02:56.840 --> 0:02:58.840 you don't fill me in on anything anymore. I'm supposed 0:02:58.840 --> 0:03:01.000 to be Greg's right hand man. The guy didn't tell 0:03:01.040 --> 0:03:03.200 me anything, right, you don't want to know anything. You 0:03:03.560 --> 0:03:05.600 don't want you don't want to deal with You don't 0:03:05.600 --> 0:03:09.000 want to deal with anything. Sometimes I gotta know, though, Yeah, 0:03:09.200 --> 0:03:10.760 you just leave me in the darks. So today there's 0:03:10.760 --> 0:03:14.520 a miscommunication. So Bavona is gone. Floria is getting married 0:03:14.520 --> 0:03:18.160 on Sunday. So yeah, he's not here. You can't hear you. 0:03:18.480 --> 0:03:22.760 So we'll send that to him. So the person that 0:03:22.840 --> 0:03:25.640 was replacing him, he had told us we I thought 0:03:25.720 --> 0:03:28.720 he'd be here today and not Monday and Tuesday. So 0:03:28.800 --> 0:03:30.760 I had a contingency for Monday and Tuesday. How you 0:03:30.760 --> 0:03:33.760 would fill it in but we had misread the email. 0:03:34.120 --> 0:03:36.240 He will be here Monday. He was not here today 0:03:36.400 --> 0:03:40.640 or Tuesday, so there was no here. There was nobody here, 0:03:41.880 --> 0:03:44.520 So thankfully Bryan steff Dutt was able to handle things 0:03:44.640 --> 0:03:48.240 a little bit late. But there's nobody here early this 0:03:48.280 --> 0:03:51.000 morning and things were a bit of a crap show 0:03:51.840 --> 0:03:54.840 early this morning. Here. We should have had Florida. He 0:03:54.880 --> 0:03:56.480 still knows how to do some things right. It was 0:03:56.560 --> 0:04:00.720 like three am Florida time. Oh gosh, I was not awake, 0:04:00.840 --> 0:04:02.920 but I do not miss Greggy. I don't know if 0:04:02.920 --> 0:04:06.240 you remember Thanksgiving like I think it was. I do. 0:04:06.320 --> 0:04:09.400 I do Everythingksgiving Floria. So yeah, I remember, I got 0:04:09.440 --> 0:04:11.720 the show started. I think it's seven am. I will 0:04:11.800 --> 0:04:16.320 get it like six. They were out. They were that, 0:04:16.320 --> 0:04:21.839 that's a fact. This weekends about to get crazy. It's 0:04:21.839 --> 0:04:29.120 about to get crazy. Whatever you want it. So fabigedd Fabinado. 0:04:29.200 --> 0:04:34.880 I like Fabinado podcast yesterday, fabric gedding. Yeah, so all 0:04:34.880 --> 0:04:38.520 those very dumb right, so very very dumb because we're like, oh, 0:04:38.560 --> 0:04:42.200 it's you're never the world faber like all right, enough 0:04:42.200 --> 0:04:46.360 fabric gedd in, enough Fabinado, enough, wait till you hear 0:04:46.360 --> 0:04:48.800 what this guy came up with, Mike, do you realize 0:04:48.839 --> 0:04:52.160 what today's show is going to be? Florio? What is it? 0:04:52.520 --> 0:04:56.159 Tune this in Alex here we go. This is a 0:04:56.200 --> 0:05:00.280 fab you Looso show is what this is?

No, we had it as a fabuloso show. 0:05:13.480 --> 0:05:15.600 There's people looking inside the studio like, why the hell 0:05:15.680 --> 0:05:18.599 is this guy holding up a bottle of fabuloso? Actually, 0:05:18.800 --> 0:05:21.640 I actually know that person. Really look at you, Mr Popular? 0:05:23.400 --> 0:05:28.839 What is fabuloso? Use it to clean long lasting fragrance. 0:05:29.040 --> 0:05:32.080 That's what it says on the bottle, Lavender, fresco lavanda. 0:05:32.160 --> 0:05:34.560 It is long last thing that's going to help your 0:05:34.560 --> 0:05:37.360 fantasy team in a long lasting way. You're not gonna 0:05:37.400 --> 0:05:40.520 waste your money on a carner Keyboon who didn't help 0:05:40.600 --> 0:05:45.280 your fantasy team with our fab you know, But we're 0:05:45.320 --> 0:05:50.839 gonna help fantasy owners with their fabue Loso weekends. Big. 0:05:50.839 --> 0:05:53.159 Here's what I will say. I'm really excited about this 0:05:53.200 --> 0:05:57.120 weekend because I'm very confident that at least three or 0:05:57.120 --> 0:05:59.640 four other teams are going to get down to my 0:05:59.760 --> 0:06:03.440 love fab and that makes me happy, Like there's gonna 0:06:03.440 --> 0:06:05.600 be there's gonna be three or four teams that's been 0:06:05.640 --> 0:06:08.680 like over three dollars this weekend in the main Event 0:06:08.839 --> 0:06:11.000 or in the Great Fantasy Based Limitational, and it will 0:06:11.000 --> 0:06:13.320 all be under two hundred dollars FAB for the rest 0:06:13.320 --> 0:06:15.560 of the season together. And that will make me feel 0:06:15.560 --> 0:06:17.400 a little bit better, although I will not have any 0:06:17.400 --> 0:06:19.640 of these prospects on my team, which makes me a 0:06:19.720 --> 0:06:23.360 little sad. But I have you what's up, Mike? So 0:06:23.440 --> 0:06:25.479 you said you're under two d and FAB right in 0:06:25.480 --> 0:06:29.560 those leagues? Are you going to put every dollar you 0:06:29.600 --> 0:06:31.440 have on these players and hope that you get one? 0:06:31.680 --> 0:06:33.839 I can't because in the main event there are no 0:06:33.960 --> 0:06:38.159 zero dollar bids, So I kind of like I have 0:06:38.240 --> 0:06:39.920 to be prudent here. I gotta I gotta figure out 0:06:40.000 --> 0:06:41.760 what to do. I have one seventy nine in the 0:06:41.760 --> 0:06:43.760 main Event, and I have too twenty one and the 0:06:43.760 --> 0:06:46.880 Great Fantasy Baseball Invitational, and there are no zero zero 0:06:46.920 --> 0:06:49.760 dollar bids a loot in each of these, so ills 0:06:49.800 --> 0:06:51.520 in let me look, it's more than likely that I'm 0:06:51.520 --> 0:06:53.840 not gonna end up. These guys are that we're gonna 0:06:53.839 --> 0:06:55.440 talk about, are gonna go for more money than I 0:06:55.480 --> 0:06:58.240 even have left so I realized that I'm gonna still 0:06:58.240 --> 0:07:01.360 have bids in on like Nicky Lopez, Oscar Mercado, probably 0:07:01.360 --> 0:07:04.840 nothing to you, which means that I'm probably just not 0:07:04.880 --> 0:07:06.800 gonna get any of these guys. And it's all right, 0:07:06.880 --> 0:07:09.960 Like my team is performing now knock on wood, so 0:07:10.400 --> 0:07:12.120 even without Aaron Judge. So we'll see if we can 0:07:12.200 --> 0:07:14.600 keep it up. But overall, I'm not really expecting to 0:07:14.600 --> 0:07:16.720 win a lot of these prospects here. That doesn't mean 0:07:16.760 --> 0:07:18.400 everyone else can't go out there and win them. And 0:07:18.640 --> 0:07:22.320 that's basically what we're here today to do. Greggy absolutely absolutely. 0:07:22.400 --> 0:07:27.840 And so last night in my league, not enough people 0:07:27.840 --> 0:07:30.040 paying attention. So the people that I thought would get 0:07:30.160 --> 0:07:34.720 here and get Riley get people that we're not paying 0:07:34.760 --> 0:07:38.000 attention did it. So my league not helpful for you 0:07:38.240 --> 0:07:39.960 when it comes to fab, but we want to be 0:07:40.240 --> 0:07:43.120 more helpful. So we heard yesterday from you, Frank and 0:07:43.160 --> 0:07:44.960 how much you were going to bid all these guys 0:07:45.000 --> 0:07:47.960 here and Riley Um and Nicky Lopez and more and 0:07:48.000 --> 0:07:50.520 Brendan Rodgers potentially. But Flora, I want to get your 0:07:50.560 --> 0:07:52.680 Ranki's I know they're inside your Patreon page, but you 0:07:52.720 --> 0:07:55.440 can help us out. What are your rankings on these 0:07:55.440 --> 0:07:58.800 guys are like fabulous of Friday. So to me, I 0:07:58.800 --> 0:08:01.720 think Mercado was last. I think that's an easy one. 0:08:02.880 --> 0:08:05.840 I think Nicky Lopez is next. I just don't I 0:08:05.880 --> 0:08:08.320 like Nicky Lopez. I think he's the safest of all 0:08:08.360 --> 0:08:10.400 these prospects, but I don't think he has the upside 0:08:10.400 --> 0:08:12.400 of the other four. So I couldn't I actually couldn't 0:08:12.400 --> 0:08:14.880 agree more like he's playing time security. He was brought 0:08:14.920 --> 0:08:16.720 up for the Royals though for any injury. He was 0:08:16.760 --> 0:08:18.720 brought up because it's time to bring him up, time 0:08:18.720 --> 0:08:20.520 to let him play, and time to just get better. 0:08:20.520 --> 0:08:23.440 He made him right the twos at second base and 0:08:23.480 --> 0:08:26.040 moves with Maryfield for him. Put him at second base, 0:08:26.320 --> 0:08:29.040 that middle infield combo with Albert Jomond to see Nicky Lopez, 0:08:29.080 --> 0:08:31.240 I mean that is the combo for the future, ideally 0:08:31.400 --> 0:08:34.040 for the Kansas City Royals. So I could not agree 0:08:34.120 --> 0:08:36.920 anymore with you thus far, Floria that he's driving safe. 0:08:37.559 --> 0:08:39.800 I don't think he's upside both power and speed. I 0:08:39.840 --> 0:08:42.079 think he could be a good average hitter, and I 0:08:42.120 --> 0:08:44.400 think he'll healthier fantasy teams, but he won't light the 0:08:44.440 --> 0:08:47.719 world out of fire. Yeah, I agree with that, and 0:08:48.000 --> 0:08:50.560 also like the Royals aren't competing. That's another thing I 0:08:50.559 --> 0:08:53.280 always I like to factor in UH. And after that, 0:08:53.400 --> 0:08:56.680 I think the next four, depending on who you ask, 0:08:56.720 --> 0:08:59.560 you might get different answers. To me, my personal favorite 0:08:59.559 --> 0:09:03.040 of them is Brendan Rodgers. Uh. He plays a premium position, 0:09:03.160 --> 0:09:06.080 He's gonna have short stup and second base eligibility, He's 0:09:06.120 --> 0:09:08.800 going to be in the Rockies lineup, get half his 0:09:08.840 --> 0:09:12.440 games at course field. Plus. To me, I think there's 0:09:12.480 --> 0:09:15.840 really no threat at stealing his job, at least initially. 0:09:15.880 --> 0:09:18.160 Like I don't think he's gonna get Carter Key Boom, Like, 0:09:18.360 --> 0:09:20.000 all right, he had a bad three weeks, let's send 0:09:20.080 --> 0:09:23.959 him down. Because Garrett Hampson has done nothing to warrant, 0:09:24.000 --> 0:09:26.480 you know, taking that job away. Neither has Ryan McMahon, 0:09:26.679 --> 0:09:29.120 and they both have had McMann has had shots in 0:09:29.120 --> 0:09:31.840 the past as well. So I think Brendan Rodgers is 0:09:31.880 --> 0:09:36.000 my favorite just because the premium position and the course field. 0:09:36.040 --> 0:09:39.880 I would put Austin Riley I think a second, But man, 0:09:40.000 --> 0:09:42.360 it's it's close between all of these guys, and I 0:09:42.400 --> 0:09:44.840 think a lot of it when you're I spoke about 0:09:44.880 --> 0:09:47.440 this on my podcast when you're deciding on which order 0:09:47.440 --> 0:09:49.320 you want to put these guys in. To me, a 0:09:49.320 --> 0:09:51.240 lot of it comes down to what positions you need. 0:09:51.320 --> 0:09:54.160 Because if you need a middle infielder, all right, and 0:09:54.200 --> 0:09:56.520 maybe I'll go with Brandon Rodgers over Austin Riley. But 0:09:56.600 --> 0:09:58.920 if I really need, say a third baseman or an outfielder, 0:09:58.960 --> 0:10:01.720 then I'm boosting up Willie Calhoun and Austin Riley. So 0:10:02.040 --> 0:10:04.679 to me, I think those four guys are all very close. 0:10:04.760 --> 0:10:07.319 I have Brendan Rodgers is my personal favorite, then with 0:10:07.360 --> 0:10:11.000 the with the Riley second, but I think all and 0:10:11.040 --> 0:10:13.839 I think Calhoun doesn't have the ceiling of the other guys, 0:10:13.840 --> 0:10:16.320 but he's not off by much. I just think the 0:10:16.360 --> 0:10:18.760 other guys there's a little bit more hype around them 0:10:18.760 --> 0:10:20.760 because we haven't seen them fail at the major league 0:10:20.840 --> 0:10:23.080 level yet. But I think all four of them deserve 0:10:23.200 --> 0:10:25.040 to go in the same range. And I think in 0:10:25.400 --> 0:10:28.040 in leagues like the Great Fantasy Baseball Invitational and the 0:10:28.320 --> 0:10:30.599 and like NBC Main Events or anything any league with 0:10:30.679 --> 0:10:34.560 an overall fift team league, I think is what these 0:10:34.559 --> 0:10:36.319 guys are gonna cost. Yeah, I think that makes a 0:10:36.360 --> 0:10:38.280 lot of sense, and I'll actually take it one step further. 0:10:38.320 --> 0:10:40.480 Based on what Mike said, it's not just positional need 0:10:40.559 --> 0:10:43.760 what you need, I think you look at statistical need too. 0:10:44.000 --> 0:10:46.360 So if you need power, I think Austin Riley is 0:10:46.400 --> 0:10:48.200 probably your guy. If you need a little bit of 0:10:48.240 --> 0:10:50.240 everything on the offensive side, then you're probably looking at 0:10:50.280 --> 0:10:52.680 a guy like Kess and Hero or even Brendan Rodgers, 0:10:52.679 --> 0:10:54.560 who I think might be able to hit for decent 0:10:54.559 --> 0:10:56.520 batting average, a little bit of pop. Obviously playing in 0:10:56.559 --> 0:10:59.559 Coors Field in Colorado, he sold twelve basses last year, 0:10:59.559 --> 0:11:01.880 so gives you a little bit of everything. So I 0:11:01.880 --> 0:11:06.160 think statistical need is another factor into this. Greg. If 0:11:06.200 --> 0:11:08.080 you just need speed, then maybe you're a little bit 0:11:08.120 --> 0:11:11.000 more aggressive on Oscar Mercado. So I think not only 0:11:11.080 --> 0:11:12.920 is the positional need, I do agree with that that 0:11:13.040 --> 0:11:14.720 is obviously going to play a big factor into who 0:11:14.720 --> 0:11:18.000 you're bidding on this weekend, but I think what stats 0:11:18.000 --> 0:11:21.400 you need also factored into which players you're bidding on here, Greg, yes, 0:11:21.920 --> 0:11:24.480 if you need pictures. Last week and NFBC Corbyn Martin 0:11:24.520 --> 0:11:27.720 wasn't available yet because he has to at least play 0:11:27.720 --> 0:11:30.080 in one game before he's available, so he was available 0:11:30.120 --> 0:11:32.240 the next day on Monday because he made his start 0:11:32.240 --> 0:11:35.080 on Sunday, but he wasn't available that night. So that's 0:11:35.120 --> 0:11:38.319 another factor into this. If you need pitching, then maybe 0:11:38.320 --> 0:11:41.040 you're really really aggressive on Corbyn Martin even ahead of 0:11:41.080 --> 0:11:42.839 some of these hitters. It really comes down to what 0:11:42.920 --> 0:11:45.079 you need for your team, Greg. Of course, it is 0:11:45.120 --> 0:11:47.079 do you need do you need power? Do you need speed? 0:11:47.080 --> 0:11:48.800 Do you need middle in field? Do you need outfield? 0:11:48.840 --> 0:11:51.240 You need a corner in field? That those are the 0:11:51.320 --> 0:11:55.079 questions you have to ask yourselves. Oh, almost like a 0:11:55.200 --> 0:11:57.640 draft rank. And I know you put a lot going 0:11:57.679 --> 0:12:04.200 into the draft on position scarcity. Position eligibility doesn't matter, right, Like, 0:12:04.440 --> 0:12:07.840 if you believe Austin Riley is the best is the 0:12:07.880 --> 0:12:10.679 best hitter out of any of these guys, don't you 0:12:10.720 --> 0:12:12.800 just grow out and grab him and then worry about 0:12:12.800 --> 0:12:17.600 the rest of it later, not necessarily think Okay, I 0:12:17.600 --> 0:12:20.040 think if you truly believe he is head and shoulders 0:12:20.080 --> 0:12:22.120 above the I don't I think all four of these 0:12:22.120 --> 0:12:26.120 guys are very close. And those four again, Flora, Uh, 0:12:26.160 --> 0:12:30.840 it's it's Willie Calhoun, Austin Riley, Brendan Rodgers and Keston Ira. 0:12:30.920 --> 0:12:35.200 I always struggle to say his I listened to the 0:12:35.240 --> 0:12:37.200 audio from the minor leagues and they were saying the 0:12:37.240 --> 0:12:39.760 eye before it, So I that's that's how I've been 0:12:39.800 --> 0:12:42.880 saying it. I could be wrong. I'm not saying I'm 0:12:42.920 --> 0:12:44.880 I'm right. I struggle with that guy's name. But to me, 0:12:45.000 --> 0:12:48.440 those four are all very very close together. They're they're 0:12:48.520 --> 0:12:51.679 very similar. They have sky high upside. I think a 0:12:51.720 --> 0:12:54.000 lot of them, outside of Willie Calhoun do have to 0:12:54.040 --> 0:12:56.720 worry because they're they're on teams that are looking to 0:12:56.760 --> 0:12:59.199 compete this year. That's why I think Brendon Rogers though, 0:12:59.240 --> 0:13:02.880 because the position competition is less, Like I'm not, let's 0:13:02.880 --> 0:13:05.400 not fully discount Travis Shaw and Enter and c RT 0:13:05.559 --> 0:13:08.520 being somewhat of competition for those other guys. So that's 0:13:08.520 --> 0:13:10.840 why I have Brendan Rodgers one. But if you truly 0:13:10.880 --> 0:13:13.960 believe Greg that Austin Riley he's the can't miss guy here, 0:13:14.120 --> 0:13:15.720 then yes, I think you do need to pay up 0:13:15.720 --> 0:13:19.240 to get your guy. When Mike breaks it down like that, 0:13:19.320 --> 0:13:21.760 I think it makes sense. But I think from my 0:13:21.880 --> 0:13:24.720 perspective and just looking into all these prospects, I don't 0:13:24.760 --> 0:13:27.280 think that they're all that dissimilar. If you think that 0:13:27.320 --> 0:13:30.040 Austin Riley is the best and sure, and I think, 0:13:30.600 --> 0:13:33.360 you know, he's obviously performed really well thus far. But 0:13:33.840 --> 0:13:35.480 you know, there's a lot of hype around all these guys, 0:13:35.559 --> 0:13:38.760 Kess and Hira, Brendan Rodgers, so I think that they're 0:13:38.800 --> 0:13:40.840 all close. I don't think that there's one prospect here 0:13:40.840 --> 0:13:43.320 that's head and shoulders better than the rest. But if 0:13:43.400 --> 0:13:45.640 you were to say think that, then I understand why 0:13:45.640 --> 0:13:48.480 you would be aggressive on that one player more than others. 0:13:48.480 --> 0:13:50.160 But I'm just saying, based on everything that I've read, 0:13:50.200 --> 0:13:52.240 everything that I've seen, the way that I feel about 0:13:52.280 --> 0:13:56.080 these prospects, I think that they're pretty close. And I'm 0:13:56.080 --> 0:13:59.160 actually kind of surprised that you have Brendan Rodgers first here, Mike, 0:13:59.240 --> 0:14:01.360 because to me, I would have it, and I said 0:14:01.400 --> 0:14:03.240 this all week, I would have a Kessing here first, 0:14:03.280 --> 0:14:05.640 also Higley second, then maybe a little bit of a gap, 0:14:05.640 --> 0:14:07.680 I would have Brendan Rodgers and then maybe a little 0:14:07.679 --> 0:14:10.040 bit more of a gap, and then Willie Calhoun. I 0:14:10.080 --> 0:14:12.199 do think that all four of those guys are probably 0:14:12.520 --> 0:14:15.120 in their own tier together, but I think that the 0:14:15.200 --> 0:14:18.959 offensive upside, the output that Hera and Austin Riley can 0:14:19.000 --> 0:14:21.680 give you outweighs what Brendan Rodgers can give you. So 0:14:21.680 --> 0:14:23.120 I'm a little bit surprised you have them first on 0:14:23.120 --> 0:14:26.560 that list. The reason being is because I am I 0:14:26.640 --> 0:14:29.200 think we do need to learn some lessons from past mistakes. 0:14:29.200 --> 0:14:32.760 And Carter keybu the big mistake was, Yeah, he sucked, 0:14:32.920 --> 0:14:35.720 But this team was competing, and they have other players 0:14:35.720 --> 0:14:38.120 who could play those positions when they're at least healthy. 0:14:38.480 --> 0:14:40.680 And so do the Brewers and so do the Braves, 0:14:40.720 --> 0:14:43.040 And those are two teams that are very much so 0:14:43.200 --> 0:14:45.400 competing hoping to win a division this year. They're in 0:14:45.440 --> 0:14:48.280 a dog fight, each of them. So I don't necessarily 0:14:48.760 --> 0:14:51.200 think like if either one of those two guys were 0:14:51.240 --> 0:14:53.760 to start to struggle, I wouldn't be surprised if we 0:14:53.800 --> 0:14:55.920 see them either lose playing time to the veteran that 0:14:56.120 --> 0:14:58.680 is going to return from injury, Whereas I don't think 0:14:58.720 --> 0:15:00.760 that is an issue. For Brandon Rodgers, that's the old 0:15:00.960 --> 0:15:04.320 To me, it's like the the upside and the safety combined. 0:15:04.360 --> 0:15:06.320 To me, it's just a little bit. It puts him 0:15:06.320 --> 0:15:07.880 a little bit higher than the other guys. For me, 0:15:08.600 --> 0:15:10.440 I just have some concerns when it comes to the 0:15:10.520 --> 0:15:13.120 Rockies because it feels like when whenever they've had prospects 0:15:13.160 --> 0:15:15.120 or young players, and I realized that Brendan Rodgers is 0:15:15.440 --> 0:15:18.080 their top prospect, Like he is a higher ranked prospect 0:15:18.080 --> 0:15:20.600 than guys like Garrett Hampson and Ryan McMahon the past, 0:15:20.600 --> 0:15:22.680 and even even Ryan mel Tappy. But it seems like 0:15:22.680 --> 0:15:25.640 they've had prospects forever and they've been so hesitant to 0:15:25.680 --> 0:15:27.920 give these guys an opportunity. Now Brendan Rodgers is going 0:15:27.960 --> 0:15:29.680 to be up today, should be in the line up. 0:15:29.680 --> 0:15:32.360 Hopefully that's what we're expecting. But it just seems like 0:15:32.760 --> 0:15:34.720 they are a team more so than even other teams. 0:15:34.720 --> 0:15:37.840 Greg were like, if a prospect is struggling, that they're 0:15:37.840 --> 0:15:39.920 gonna find a way to like get a veteran in there, 0:15:39.960 --> 0:15:41.760 or find a way to mess this stuff like Pat 0:15:41.840 --> 0:15:47.280 Vlaika or like Mark Rennolds. We wanted Ryan McMahon or 0:15:47.280 --> 0:15:49.240 Garrett have should be a thing, and they gave these 0:15:49.240 --> 0:15:51.840 guys opportunities this year and they haven't capitalized. So I 0:15:51.880 --> 0:15:53.760 understand that. And I like brend Rodgers. I don't want 0:15:53.760 --> 0:15:55.720 to sound like I'm poop pooing him. I like him 0:15:55.760 --> 0:15:59.000 as well, and having exposure to coors Field is a 0:15:58.760 --> 0:16:01.480 is a very big factor for fantasy baseball, But it 0:16:01.560 --> 0:16:05.800 just seems like organizationally, Greg their philosophy has been that 0:16:06.800 --> 0:16:09.800 they just don't trust the players all that much totally, 0:16:09.920 --> 0:16:13.560 and and Atlanta are going just going back. Atlanta has 0:16:13.560 --> 0:16:15.720 been the opposite, right, like they've kind of let their 0:16:15.760 --> 0:16:18.400 young players run with it in a way. With Albie's 0:16:18.480 --> 0:16:22.640 and Swanson and Alcuna, of course, I think those guys 0:16:22.680 --> 0:16:25.520 though they came up at a different time. They came 0:16:25.640 --> 0:16:27.960 up when the break like last year. I know the 0:16:27.960 --> 0:16:30.520 Baper is one the division. They did not have expectations 0:16:30.520 --> 0:16:32.400 of that. Their their plan was to let the young 0:16:32.480 --> 0:16:35.640 kids play and they ended up completely outperforming what everyone 0:16:35.680 --> 0:16:38.320 thought and running away with it, which is awesome to see. 0:16:38.400 --> 0:16:41.560 But they they're competing now and there they need to win. 0:16:41.600 --> 0:16:43.520 And the Brewers, we know they like to mix and match. 0:16:44.720 --> 0:16:46.080 Was it a break? When we come back. I want 0:16:46.120 --> 0:16:48.080 to get into Willie Calhoun for a moment because I 0:16:48.120 --> 0:16:49.680 joked about it with you, Frank yesterday, and I want 0:16:49.680 --> 0:16:54.600 to ask you about it today.

And I 0:18:38.119 --> 0:18:40.840 don't play in any league that at first come, first served, 0:18:40.840 --> 0:18:43.600 because it's not right. And this is again from the 0:18:43.640 --> 0:18:46.240 perspective of someone who could take advantage of it, and 0:18:46.240 --> 0:18:48.399 I just don't think it's right.

So back with you here on 0:19:02.640 --> 0:19:04.840 the Fantasy PFS. We're gonna give you out the prices 0:19:04.880 --> 0:19:06.600 that we think you should spend on these guys. I 0:19:06.680 --> 0:19:08.760 promise you will go in nice in order and make 0:19:08.760 --> 0:19:10.760 it easy for you. But before we do, I wanted 0:19:10.800 --> 0:19:12.679 to speak about Willie Calhoun a little bit more in 0:19:12.720 --> 0:19:15.520 depth for a moment. Now. Last year, all three of 0:19:15.600 --> 0:19:18.080 us were all in a Willie Calhoun floria, probably third 0:19:18.119 --> 0:19:19.960 out of the three of us, obviously the most frank. 0:19:20.320 --> 0:19:22.520 It didn't work out. He finally got called up, he 0:19:22.520 --> 0:19:24.680 didn't hit, he got sent back down, finally came back 0:19:24.960 --> 0:19:27.000 like literally the last two weeks of September, was never 0:19:27.040 --> 0:19:29.480 given consistent playing time. He's been up for two days 0:19:29.480 --> 0:19:31.880 to home runs for Texas, batty out of the two hole, 0:19:31.960 --> 0:19:34.320 one day at d H, one day in left field. 0:19:34.520 --> 0:19:38.359 New managers Chris Woodward in Texas, so holy new regime, 0:19:38.520 --> 0:19:44.119 totally new opportunity for Calhoun. And I think some of 0:19:44.200 --> 0:19:48.000 the prospect luster Mike. He's gone from Willie Calhoun because 0:19:48.040 --> 0:19:50.720 of what happened last year. We haven't seen Austin Riley yet. 0:19:50.720 --> 0:19:54.280 We haven't seen um here A yet. We haven't seen 0:19:54.320 --> 0:19:56.800 Brandon Rogers yet. We haven't seen Nicki Lopez yet. We 0:19:56.800 --> 0:20:00.879 haven't seen Oscar Mercado yet. We have seen Calhoun. And 0:20:00.960 --> 0:20:04.680 because of that, I think in forget the expert league, 0:20:04.680 --> 0:20:06.680 but I think people's home leagues, they're gonna se Willie Calhoun. 0:20:06.680 --> 0:20:08.800 They're gonna be like, all right, been there, done that, 0:20:08.840 --> 0:20:10.919 it didn't work. So I think he could actually get 0:20:11.000 --> 0:20:13.280 him a little cheaper. Why is he in your top 0:20:13.359 --> 0:20:18.920
