1 00:00:05,360 --> 00:00:09,240 Speaker 1: Hello, everybody, Welcome back in to another episode of the cycle. 2 00:00:09,360 --> 00:00:11,680 Speaker 1: This is our second video of the week, and if 3 00:00:11,720 --> 00:00:13,640 Speaker 1: you missed the first one, Rounding the Bases, where we 4 00:00:13,640 --> 00:00:16,200 Speaker 1: talk about all the all TRN kinds of trending players 5 00:00:16,239 --> 00:00:18,200 Speaker 1: and news notes and injuries, you can go back and 6 00:00:18,239 --> 00:00:21,760 Speaker 1: catch out that first video. Catch that first video, and 7 00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:23,520 Speaker 1: in this video we're going to be talking about players 8 00:00:23,560 --> 00:00:25,760 Speaker 1: were buying low, players were selling high, and so waiver 9 00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:28,920 Speaker 1: wire targets, and so let's dive right into it with 10 00:00:29,080 --> 00:00:32,519 Speaker 1: buy low Sell high. And in this segment, Kelly and 11 00:00:32,600 --> 00:00:35,320 Speaker 1: I will both give our favorite by lows and our 12 00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:38,680 Speaker 1: favorite sell highs. And Kelly, since you are the guest 13 00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:43,640 Speaker 1: and I am forced to host with Worm taking a vacation, apparently, 14 00:00:45,479 --> 00:00:47,720 Speaker 1: let's toss it to you first for your favorite buy 15 00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:48,680 Speaker 1: low player this week. 16 00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:52,920 Speaker 2: Yeah. So I was looking at yiner Dias this week. 17 00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:55,760 Speaker 2: I like, I really like the fact that he's catcher 18 00:00:55,800 --> 00:00:59,600 Speaker 2: and first base eligible, just because most of the time 19 00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:02,720 Speaker 2: I'm not all about going and chasing catchers. But he's 20 00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:05,240 Speaker 2: got kind of that duel that you can plug him 21 00:01:05,240 --> 00:01:08,560 Speaker 2: and play him in each spot, but all of his 22 00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:11,399 Speaker 2: underlying numbers point toward improvement, right now he has just 23 00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:14,240 Speaker 2: I wrote down it's a putrid line, which that's not 24 00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:17,080 Speaker 2: a word I use all that often. He's got seven 25 00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:19,920 Speaker 2: home runs, but that's been turned up. As of late, 26 00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:22,280 Speaker 2: he's got twenty runs scored and he only has twenty 27 00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:26,119 Speaker 2: four RBIs. But one of the biggest culprits I think 28 00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:28,600 Speaker 2: is that his current babbub is two fifty five and 29 00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:33,200 Speaker 2: his career number there is three h nine, So he's 30 00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:36,480 Speaker 2: expected to gain about fifty points in batting average and 31 00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:41,200 Speaker 2: like alle hundred and forty points of slugging, and like 32 00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:44,160 Speaker 2: those are like the two numbers that I'm really looking at. 33 00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:46,000 Speaker 2: So I think that the power is going to come. 34 00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:49,840 Speaker 2: And if somebody is tired of holding on to him, 35 00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:54,000 Speaker 2: or has two catchers or whatever, I wouldn't have any 36 00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:56,480 Speaker 2: problem kind of offering a lower piece just to see 37 00:01:56,520 --> 00:01:57,960 Speaker 2: if I can pick him off. 38 00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:02,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, catcher has been a weird position this year. Obviously, 39 00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:06,200 Speaker 1: cal Raley is doing incredible things. I am not at 40 00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:09,760 Speaker 1: all bitter about that. As someone who drafted cal Raley 41 00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:13,959 Speaker 1: in an auction league and then there was an issue 42 00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:16,640 Speaker 1: with the previous pick, and so then they backed out 43 00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:20,960 Speaker 1: and redid that pick, and then kind of almost fast 44 00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:23,480 Speaker 1: forwarded through cal Raley and I didn't get him back, 45 00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:25,480 Speaker 1: and I'm like, look, I already drafted cal Raley. Can 46 00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:30,320 Speaker 1: we redo that one? So not bitter about that at all, 47 00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:36,040 Speaker 1: especially it's a very expensive league. But you know, we'll 48 00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:37,880 Speaker 1: talk about that and then at the time not he's 49 00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:42,040 Speaker 1: this place for how mad I am about that, But 50 00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:45,280 Speaker 1: I mean, cal Raley is doing incredible. Adley Richman not 51 00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:48,040 Speaker 1: doing great, so if you spent a high pick on him, 52 00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:52,280 Speaker 1: William Contreras is having a weird year. Wilson Contreras also 53 00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:54,480 Speaker 1: having a weird year, though both of the contrast brothers 54 00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:59,320 Speaker 1: have been better of late. Second best player catcher in 55 00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:04,160 Speaker 1: fantasies far the season as everyone predicted, Hunter Goodman, and 56 00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:07,000 Speaker 1: then some of the usual suspects, will Smith, Local Hoppy, 57 00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:09,760 Speaker 1: William dre or, Shane Langliars, Carson Kelly who let off 58 00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:12,280 Speaker 1: the season with a cycle. So if we're looking at 59 00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:18,840 Speaker 1: season today, vbr jannyr Direz is fifteen, so not even 60 00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:22,959 Speaker 1: a starting caliber through the first two months in the 61 00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:26,880 Speaker 1: twelve team league. But I think we all, as you said, 62 00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:29,400 Speaker 1: believe he's a better hitter than that, and that you know, 63 00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:33,560 Speaker 1: if he's someone let's see he's still rostered in the 64 00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:35,880 Speaker 1: majority of leagues. He may have been dropped in some 65 00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:39,680 Speaker 1: one catcher leagues by now, but I do think he's 66 00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:44,640 Speaker 1: someone you can buy low. And if I look here, 67 00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:48,560 Speaker 1: he does DH sometimes, which is also helpful. You know, 68 00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:51,520 Speaker 1: you for those catchers since they get so many days off, 69 00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:53,280 Speaker 1: you do want someone who has the kind of bat 70 00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:55,800 Speaker 1: that the team wants to keep in the lineup, so 71 00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:58,040 Speaker 1: even when they get days off their DH and you know, 72 00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:00,960 Speaker 1: like you said, he's first is eligible as well. But 73 00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:02,960 Speaker 1: you know, I think most of the value was playing 74 00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:04,120 Speaker 1: catcher for. 75 00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:08,080 Speaker 2: Sure, And as long as Alvarez is out then you 76 00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:11,840 Speaker 2: know the Astros are going to need on his days off. 77 00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:14,800 Speaker 2: Then he does, I think fit into that DH slot 78 00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:18,960 Speaker 2: pretty easily. So yeah, I think he's a decent Bilow 79 00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:19,400 Speaker 2: at this point. 80 00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:22,800 Speaker 1: Well, the good news is that Jordan Alvarez has a 81 00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:25,440 Speaker 1: broken hand, and they didn't know for the second year 82 00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:29,480 Speaker 1: in a row, so I don't know if X rays 83 00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:31,919 Speaker 1: are more expensive in Houston, but they certainly don't like. 84 00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:35,440 Speaker 2: To do him until test for that. Guys there really are. 85 00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:41,200 Speaker 1: All right for my by Low, And I wrote in 86 00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:43,760 Speaker 1: the sheet, I'm admitting this and I'm stealing this from 87 00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:46,960 Speaker 1: Joe Pisapia, which I don't like to do often. I 88 00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:49,240 Speaker 1: don't like to agree with Joe. I don't like to 89 00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:52,839 Speaker 1: take content from him. But he wrote up Wan Soto 90 00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:56,280 Speaker 1: as a as a by Low in this week's trade 91 00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:59,640 Speaker 1: article on fantasypros dot Com. And I know a lot 92 00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:02,840 Speaker 1: of people, a lot of people came after Worm earlier 93 00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:04,640 Speaker 1: in the year because he had Gunner Henderson as Bilow. 94 00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:06,760 Speaker 1: Maybe it was a little too early in the year 95 00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:11,760 Speaker 1: for Bilow and Gunner Henderson. But Juan Soto has underachieved, 96 00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:16,360 Speaker 1: especially if you're a Mets fan. But pretty much all 97 00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:20,040 Speaker 1: of his numbers are incredible, and I think most people 98 00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:23,480 Speaker 1: agree he's going to continue to be Juan Soto. The 99 00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:25,840 Speaker 1: question is what does the trade look like? You know, 100 00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:29,040 Speaker 1: what are you getting for him? Or what what would 101 00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:31,359 Speaker 1: you have to give up to get him? And another 102 00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:33,440 Speaker 1: reason I wanted to bring this up because it's because 103 00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:35,360 Speaker 1: I thought Joe had some interesting names here that I'll 104 00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:39,279 Speaker 1: toss to you. So he said he would flip Pete 105 00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:42,680 Speaker 1: kor Armstrong or Corbyn Carroll Restless season straight up in 106 00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:45,720 Speaker 1: order to get Juan Soto. So what do you think 107 00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:47,760 Speaker 1: about I guess all three of them. 108 00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:51,280 Speaker 2: Did he say the two of them together or just 109 00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:54,400 Speaker 2: one of them? What? Okay, if someone will give you 110 00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:56,720 Speaker 2: one Soto for Peak Armstrong, you do that without You 111 00:05:56,800 --> 00:05:58,160 Speaker 2: don't even have to talk to any of us, just 112 00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:03,080 Speaker 2: just do it. So that's a non that's a non consideration, Corman. 113 00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:05,440 Speaker 2: Carroll is a little bit more of an if just 114 00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:09,440 Speaker 2: because of the speed. But yeah, I mean if you 115 00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:12,720 Speaker 2: take go to so Soto's statcast page and tell me 116 00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:14,760 Speaker 2: that you know you don't want that or you don't 117 00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:16,720 Speaker 2: think that he's going to bounce back, So yeah, I 118 00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:18,599 Speaker 2: would do it. I would. I think I could flip 119 00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:21,120 Speaker 2: Carol for him too at this point. But for sure, 120 00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:24,240 Speaker 2: Crol Armstrong, oh my god, do it. 121 00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:27,280 Speaker 1: I don't. I don't think it's that outlandish anymore. Like 122 00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:29,400 Speaker 1: I know people are going to put their nose upbout 123 00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:33,760 Speaker 1: that offer, but I don't know. I'm not a I've 124 00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:35,159 Speaker 1: talked about it on the show. I'm not a huge 125 00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:37,440 Speaker 1: believer in Peak or I'm strong, But like, the more 126 00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:40,440 Speaker 1: this goes on, the more I'm like, all right, here 127 00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:40,640 Speaker 1: we go. 128 00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:45,240 Speaker 2: I'm a Cubs fan, yeah, I mean, I'm a coach fan. 129 00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:49,000 Speaker 2: I love him. I think he's fantastic. And again I don't. 130 00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:52,320 Speaker 2: I just wouldn't. I wouldn't even hesitate. That's not even 131 00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:52,560 Speaker 2: a thing. 132 00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:55,680 Speaker 1: Well, allow me to read for you the top three 133 00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:59,960 Speaker 1: players in VBR, which is just consider it fantasy value 134 00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:05,320 Speaker 1: is what it means on Fantasy pros Number one, Aaron Judge, 135 00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:10,080 Speaker 1: number two show Hey Otani, and the number three, Peak 136 00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:13,400 Speaker 1: Strong third most valuable player in fantasy through two months, 137 00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:19,120 Speaker 1: and Juan Soto is If I scroll, I might have 138 00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:25,680 Speaker 1: to abandon the squad, might have to search forty four kay, 139 00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:33,000 Speaker 1: forty one spots behind Peak or Armstrong. I do not care, Okay, 140 00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:36,800 Speaker 1: I'm just saying it's not as ridiculous as you think. 141 00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:43,360 Speaker 1: Corb and Carroll number said, right. I So if you 142 00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:44,920 Speaker 1: had to rank the three of them rest of the year, 143 00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:52,120 Speaker 1: you would do what Carol Soto, arm Strong or Sodo Caroltrong? 144 00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:55,840 Speaker 2: Okay, from now until the end of the year. 145 00:07:55,920 --> 00:08:01,800 Speaker 1: Yes, I think I would do Carol. I think Juan 146 00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:05,880 Speaker 1: Soto is a better hitter. I think in fantasy you 147 00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:09,280 Speaker 1: might get more out of Corwin Carrol, even though I 148 00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:12,000 Speaker 1: have been really scared by that shoulder, but it seems 149 00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:17,560 Speaker 1: like that's in the distant past now. But so has 150 00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:18,080 Speaker 1: been running? 151 00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:18,560 Speaker 2: What does he have? 152 00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:22,800 Speaker 1: Seven stolen bases, seven stolen bases, eleven home runs, seven 153 00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:26,240 Speaker 1: stone base that two thirty two average. I mean, I'm 154 00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:27,880 Speaker 1: completely on board. I think he's going to be better, 155 00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:30,720 Speaker 1: and I think he's doing, you know, probably the best 156 00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:35,000 Speaker 1: all around hitter in baseball. Stolen bases are a bonus 157 00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:38,319 Speaker 1: because you're not always counting on those from him. But 158 00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:41,520 Speaker 1: I thought it was an interesting conversation. You know, I 159 00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:43,840 Speaker 1: don't really always like to grab like the low hanging 160 00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:47,199 Speaker 1: fruit on some of these right by loves, but I 161 00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:51,800 Speaker 1: did think, especially because of the names he mentioned in 162 00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:53,480 Speaker 1: the trade, I was like, all right, that's interesting, we 163 00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:56,920 Speaker 1: should talk about that. All right, let's go over to 164 00:08:57,000 --> 00:08:58,040 Speaker 1: you for your so. 165 00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:02,760 Speaker 2: High for myself, Oh right, okay. So I took a 166 00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:05,200 Speaker 2: little flak in the YouTube comments last week about when 167 00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:06,959 Speaker 2: I said there's no clear Ricky of the Year in 168 00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:11,120 Speaker 2: the American League, and someone commented, like, has she never 169 00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:14,240 Speaker 2: heard of Jacob Wilson? And what I want to say 170 00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:16,360 Speaker 2: is that I like him. I've always I like the 171 00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:19,439 Speaker 2: I like the athletics, I like I mean, I think 172 00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:22,920 Speaker 2: he's great. He's having an amazing season, fantastic, Okay, that 173 00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:27,520 Speaker 2: is out of out of my system. I just feel 174 00:09:27,559 --> 00:09:29,880 Speaker 2: like I was I wrote that I felt like it 175 00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:32,160 Speaker 2: could turn into an empty season. So like I like 176 00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:34,360 Speaker 2: to say that like when there's sometimes there are players 177 00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:36,840 Speaker 2: who have there're just an empty this so like empty 178 00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:40,720 Speaker 2: batting average or like what was the guy's name, also 179 00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:43,600 Speaker 2: an athletic who was just he was an empty stolen 180 00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:46,959 Speaker 2: base like you know, no it was the other guy. 181 00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:49,560 Speaker 2: But anyway, I'll think of it later and just shout 182 00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:50,920 Speaker 2: it when I when it comes up to me. But 183 00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:54,679 Speaker 2: in general, like my biggest issue with Wilson is he 184 00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:57,800 Speaker 2: has a barrel rate of two point eight percent. I 185 00:09:57,920 --> 00:10:00,600 Speaker 2: just don't know how you survive a two point eight 186 00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:04,000 Speaker 2: percent barrel rate. His expected by an average is fifty 187 00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:06,199 Speaker 2: points lower than it is than it currently is. His 188 00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:09,400 Speaker 2: expected slugging is a one hundred and fifteen points lower, 189 00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:13,439 Speaker 2: and even is like weighted on base average is like 190 00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:17,000 Speaker 2: seventy points lower. So I feel like there's I feel 191 00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:18,640 Speaker 2: like he may continue to hit for contact, he may 192 00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:22,000 Speaker 2: continue to hit for average. I just don't know, like 193 00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:24,839 Speaker 2: if all of that has to come down, then that 194 00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:27,199 Speaker 2: means he's going to struggle to get it there. So 195 00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:29,800 Speaker 2: I would be willing to sell high on him at 196 00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:30,120 Speaker 2: this point. 197 00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:32,920 Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm with you there. I don't know why I 198 00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:34,839 Speaker 1: said Billy Hamilton he never played for the A's. I 199 00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:39,120 Speaker 1: just immediately jumped to empty stolen bases. Just maybe think 200 00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:40,120 Speaker 1: of Billy R. A. 201 00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:42,000 Speaker 2: Stearyise that was oh. 202 00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:45,959 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, who like was like incredible at stilling 203 00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:47,960 Speaker 1: basis and then just like wasn't in the league anymore 204 00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:53,199 Speaker 1: one day. I actually because because I had him in 205 00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:55,199 Speaker 1: the head to head dynasty league, he was like a 206 00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:57,760 Speaker 1: cheat code for like winning stolen bases every week, and 207 00:10:57,880 --> 00:11:00,400 Speaker 1: so like I resisted trading him like this. One tried 208 00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:01,720 Speaker 1: to trade him all year and I was like, dude, 209 00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:03,439 Speaker 1: I'm not trading him to you, like I love the 210 00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:06,320 Speaker 1: stone bases. And then like the next year he had 211 00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:10,679 Speaker 1: no value. He's just gone. It's not as bad as 212 00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:12,480 Speaker 1: giving up a first round pick for ans and you're Richardson, 213 00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:17,640 Speaker 1: but it's pretty bad. But I agree with you. I 214 00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:21,120 Speaker 1: liked him coming into the year. I wasn't. I kind 215 00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:22,520 Speaker 1: of thought he might be in that realm of like 216 00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:25,760 Speaker 1: better in real life than he is in fantasy. He's 217 00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:30,959 Speaker 1: wildly outperformed with my expectations. He does not walk I 218 00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:33,120 Speaker 1: forget how long it was into the season, but it 219 00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:34,839 Speaker 1: was like a few weeks where he had zero walks 220 00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:39,760 Speaker 1: at one point for like a long stretch. But he 221 00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:42,560 Speaker 1: also doesn't strike out. He just like swings and hits 222 00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:47,679 Speaker 1: the ball and like gets on base. So yeah, I 223 00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:51,360 Speaker 1: uh more stolen bases than I was expecting, because here 224 00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:54,960 Speaker 1: has he has five and he only had let's see, eight, ten, 225 00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:57,679 Speaker 1: twelve his entire minor league career. Granted that's only two 226 00:11:57,760 --> 00:12:01,040 Speaker 1: years r minor league career, but you know, I wasn't 227 00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:03,280 Speaker 1: expecting him to have five already. And similar things for 228 00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:06,960 Speaker 1: home run, he has seven home runs through fifty nine games. 229 00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:11,320 Speaker 1: When he I guess in the miners he had seven 230 00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:14,400 Speaker 1: and fifty three games. So but like he's another one 231 00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:18,080 Speaker 1: who kind of like flew through the miners just because 232 00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:20,800 Speaker 1: of the hit tool. I don't know. I kind of 233 00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:23,640 Speaker 1: like him though, like that batting average is so good. 234 00:12:24,920 --> 00:12:29,120 Speaker 2: Yep again, I'm not like I mean, I like I 235 00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:31,800 Speaker 2: always say light hitting middle indfielders, like I'm drawn to 236 00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:36,560 Speaker 2: them without the power. But yeah, I just if we're 237 00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:38,080 Speaker 2: looking at a cell high I feel like right now 238 00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:41,280 Speaker 2: everybody knows his name he is, He's doing great. If 239 00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:44,280 Speaker 2: you can flip him for something that you need, and 240 00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:46,200 Speaker 2: a lot of people need batting average, so they might 241 00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:48,400 Speaker 2: be able to sell I mean they might be able 242 00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:49,000 Speaker 2: to pay up for him. 243 00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:52,319 Speaker 1: I expected the batting average to come down. It's actually 244 00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:56,520 Speaker 1: going up since the beginning of the year. He batted 245 00:12:56,559 --> 00:13:00,800 Speaker 1: three twenty five in April, three sixty eight in May, 246 00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:03,679 Speaker 1: and then through three games in June. Obviously small sample 247 00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:07,800 Speaker 1: size five eighty three. And I kind of inspected the 248 00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:11,760 Speaker 1: batting average to come down just because someone who doesn't 249 00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:14,240 Speaker 1: walk a lot, you know, a lot of times those 250 00:13:14,920 --> 00:13:16,760 Speaker 1: you know what you would what would be like, oh, 251 00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:18,839 Speaker 1: in two games, oh for two games or over four 252 00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:22,000 Speaker 1: games now, so sometimes the batting average can plummet pretty 253 00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:25,640 Speaker 1: quickly beca if you don't walk. But since he also 254 00:13:25,640 --> 00:13:27,120 Speaker 1: doesn't strike out, he's just like putting the ball in 255 00:13:27,160 --> 00:13:31,719 Speaker 1: play and getting on base. And it's pretty wild, all right. 256 00:13:32,040 --> 00:13:35,280 Speaker 1: For my cell high. It's interesting. I stole my bilo 257 00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:39,440 Speaker 1: from Joe, and I'm stealing my cell high from Welsh. 258 00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:42,160 Speaker 1: And I will say that the one that Welsh picked, 259 00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:44,559 Speaker 1: I was actually thinking about this myself while I was 260 00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:47,400 Speaker 1: driving in the car the other day to pick up 261 00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:50,320 Speaker 1: my kids. I was just thinking this about this player, 262 00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:54,280 Speaker 1: and I was like, I wonder if, as someone who 263 00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:57,680 Speaker 1: rosters cal Raleigh, would I be willing to sell high 264 00:13:57,720 --> 00:14:00,240 Speaker 1: on him just because he's so incredibly valuable right now, 265 00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:03,160 Speaker 1: or would I be crazy to be giving up this 266 00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:06,920 Speaker 1: power cheat code I have in the cutcher position and 267 00:14:07,559 --> 00:14:10,960 Speaker 1: I ultimately landed on It would depend on what I'm 268 00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:14,439 Speaker 1: getting back and what's available on waivers in terms of 269 00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:20,360 Speaker 1: the cut your position, and I feel like you can 270 00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:22,480 Speaker 1: sell high on cal Raley just and Welf wrote it 271 00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:25,240 Speaker 1: up in the article. He's like, look, you know, we're 272 00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:27,200 Speaker 1: not saying he's not really good and he's not going 273 00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:29,000 Speaker 1: to hit forty home runs. He's just not going to 274 00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:31,320 Speaker 1: hit sixty home runs. And that's the pace he's on 275 00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:35,920 Speaker 1: right now, and a lot of people need catching help 276 00:14:36,160 --> 00:14:37,960 Speaker 1: and it's really enticing to look at it, like, Hey, 277 00:14:38,040 --> 00:14:40,640 Speaker 1: I can just plug in cal Rally and not think 278 00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:42,720 Speaker 1: about catcher for the rest of the season and know 279 00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:45,040 Speaker 1: that I'm going to get twenty more home runs and 280 00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:47,720 Speaker 1: there's a lot of value in that. And so from 281 00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:50,600 Speaker 1: that perspective, it would depend on what I can get. 282 00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:53,280 Speaker 1: I'm going to pull up the Fantasy grows trade value 283 00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:59,880 Speaker 1: chart real quick. But what do you like? Is it 284 00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:01,760 Speaker 1: it's crazy to sell high on Cayl Rawley just because 285 00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:03,280 Speaker 1: of what you're getting at the catcher position. And I 286 00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:05,240 Speaker 1: will say, in that league I was talking about before 287 00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:08,560 Speaker 1: in the previous video the Dynasty Keeper, one one of 288 00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:11,000 Speaker 1: the reasons I am doing so well is because it's 289 00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:13,000 Speaker 1: head to head and I have Cal Rowley, and so 290 00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:17,400 Speaker 1: my my in a points league, like my catcher is 291 00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:20,080 Speaker 1: just like I only have one top twenty five player 292 00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:21,800 Speaker 1: in the whole league and it's Cal Rowley. 293 00:15:22,280 --> 00:15:25,080 Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, I mean, who are you going to put in? Like, 294 00:15:25,120 --> 00:15:27,840 Speaker 2: I think that's the question. What's the drop off in 295 00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:30,680 Speaker 2: terms of production? I mean, if you have Hunter Goodman, 296 00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:34,240 Speaker 2: apparently you're good to go. But I think that's that's 297 00:15:34,360 --> 00:15:38,360 Speaker 2: my issue with trading him, because yeah, I hate I 298 00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:41,840 Speaker 2: hate dealing with catchers. I hate drafting catchers. I hate 299 00:15:41,840 --> 00:15:43,920 Speaker 2: trying to figure out who's going to hurt me the least. 300 00:15:44,120 --> 00:15:47,320 Speaker 2: And so the rally trade off has always been he'll 301 00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:49,560 Speaker 2: hit forty He'll hit forty forty five home runs for you, 302 00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:52,800 Speaker 2: he's going to not that like above two thirty ever, 303 00:15:53,040 --> 00:15:56,600 Speaker 2: But it's I just don't know who else you'd fill 304 00:15:56,640 --> 00:16:00,520 Speaker 2: in there unless there's someone that you absolutely like, if 305 00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:05,840 Speaker 2: there's another position you need, yeah, it's more just like okay, 306 00:16:05,920 --> 00:16:08,680 Speaker 2: so then who who starts in the catcher slot. 307 00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:12,720 Speaker 1: So let's say you can pick up Tyler Stevenson or 308 00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:18,160 Speaker 1: Augustine Ramirez or I think Welsh mentioned picking up like 309 00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:23,520 Speaker 1: a Bilo in Austin Wells, and you can you need 310 00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:26,600 Speaker 1: a picture, you need pitching help, and you can flip 311 00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:31,000 Speaker 1: cal Rawley. Let's look at some of these names. Does 312 00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:35,040 Speaker 1: Dylan cease to do it for you? Or not enough? Oh? Okay, 313 00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:36,960 Speaker 1: I didn't think. So what about Logan Wet. 314 00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:43,440 Speaker 2: Maybe Framberg Valdez that one I would be more interested 315 00:16:43,480 --> 00:16:43,720 Speaker 2: in you. 316 00:16:44,520 --> 00:16:47,040 Speaker 1: This is the one that jumped out to me as 317 00:16:47,400 --> 00:16:49,320 Speaker 1: like fair right away? Its Hunter Brown? 318 00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:51,640 Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, how good? 319 00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:53,320 Speaker 1: Hunter Brown is really good? 320 00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:53,880 Speaker 2: Yep. 321 00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:56,240 Speaker 1: But that's the value Like looking at the trade value chart, 322 00:16:56,600 --> 00:16:59,000 Speaker 1: that's where the that's where we're at, and it's only 323 00:16:59,640 --> 00:17:02,920 Speaker 1: there's only like one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, 324 00:17:03,120 --> 00:17:07,320 Speaker 1: like eight pictures according to this chart, like with more 325 00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:11,560 Speaker 1: value than cal Rally right now, and it's like Scooble, Skimes, Crochet, Wheeler, Sale, Yamamoto. 326 00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:14,359 Speaker 1: And then like even even to gram I would do 327 00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:17,320 Speaker 1: de Gram. I think I would rather have cal Raley 328 00:17:17,359 --> 00:17:21,040 Speaker 1: than de Graam. I would say, but Hunter Brown, Carl 329 00:17:21,080 --> 00:17:23,440 Speaker 1: Reagan's is up there, but like that's how good he 330 00:17:23,680 --> 00:17:26,240 Speaker 1: is or has been at that position, and that's where 331 00:17:26,320 --> 00:17:34,480 Speaker 1: that's where we're at, all right, anything else on cal 332 00:17:34,600 --> 00:17:37,320 Speaker 1: Raley or any other bilo's tell high notes before we 333 00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:37,680 Speaker 1: move on. 334 00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:39,760 Speaker 2: I just love kil Rally, so it'd be really hard 335 00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:43,119 Speaker 2: for me to trade on. But I yeah, I mean 336 00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:44,879 Speaker 2: I can see it if there's something, but you have 337 00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:47,679 Speaker 2: to aim high, like I would want to sell him 338 00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:49,520 Speaker 2: high high, not just beat high. 339 00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:52,600 Speaker 1: So yeah, a lot of times in this space where 340 00:17:52,800 --> 00:17:55,560 Speaker 1: like we're talking about our suggestions, like here's someone I 341 00:17:55,640 --> 00:17:57,480 Speaker 1: really want to buy low, Here's what someone I really 342 00:17:57,480 --> 00:17:59,960 Speaker 1: want to sell high. I picked cal Raley this week 343 00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:03,520 Speaker 1: because I think it's a fascinating conversation to think about. 344 00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:05,200 Speaker 1: I think, like you said, it would be hard for 345 00:18:05,359 --> 00:18:07,399 Speaker 1: me to move on from him, and it would it 346 00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:09,560 Speaker 1: would have to be.

I saw e facy coming up 379 00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:42,000 Speaker 1: and I was like, oh, I gotta remember how to 380 00:19:42,040 --> 00:19:47,440 Speaker 1: pronounce this one. You did well, thanks. I didn't read 381 00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:50,440 Speaker 1: it as fast as worm worm. I really enjoyed how 382 00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:52,480 Speaker 1: fast you read it. And I was like, well, people 383 00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:54,479 Speaker 1: at two x feed are really going to enjoy how 384 00:19:54,520 --> 00:19:56,720 Speaker 1: fast you read that. And it did not disappoint people 385 00:19:56,760 --> 00:19:59,760 Speaker 1: in the comment agreed comments agreed. Now so we did 386 00:19:59,800 --> 00:20:03,200 Speaker 1: by though so high. We did theky stricks read. Let's 387 00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:05,840 Speaker 1: do Waivers Central, and we're going to talk about our 388 00:20:05,880 --> 00:20:08,480 Speaker 1: favorite hitters and favorite pitchers we're adding this week and 389 00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:10,720 Speaker 1: then a few other deep league targets. So let's start 390 00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:13,960 Speaker 1: with you and your favorite hitter on waivers this week. 391 00:20:15,119 --> 00:20:18,800 Speaker 2: So I almost went with tyro Strada, but I pivoted 392 00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:22,000 Speaker 2: to Hayesan Kim because I believe he's coming back pretty 393 00:20:22,080 --> 00:20:26,000 Speaker 2: soon for Tampa, so he's I mean, you know, I 394 00:20:26,040 --> 00:20:29,359 Speaker 2: don't know how you suggest a Rocky ever, but so 395 00:20:29,520 --> 00:20:31,920 Speaker 2: I went with Kim. He's in a better lineup. I 396 00:20:32,440 --> 00:20:34,119 Speaker 2: think he's just best at it if you have like 397 00:20:34,160 --> 00:20:37,920 Speaker 2: a middle infield slot. But it's reasonable that he could 398 00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:40,400 Speaker 2: steal like fifteen plus bases and maybe hit ten home 399 00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:42,879 Speaker 2: runs for the rest of the year. So if you're hurting, 400 00:20:43,080 --> 00:20:46,840 Speaker 2: I think in that in the shortstop area or you know, again, 401 00:20:46,920 --> 00:20:48,200 Speaker 2: somewhere in there where you need to pick up a 402 00:20:48,240 --> 00:20:50,960 Speaker 2: few extratal and basses. I feel like he's a decent pickup. 403 00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:53,040 Speaker 2: And he's only rostered in like three percent of leagues. 404 00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:59,360 Speaker 1: So yeah, And it is important to mention now because 405 00:21:00,880 --> 00:21:05,359 Speaker 1: he plays for the Rays and I'm trying and pronounce 406 00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:11,200 Speaker 1: he's correctly. Uh where's my pronunciation shirt, I don't see 407 00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:15,800 Speaker 1: it now. So he's has Young Kim who plays for 408 00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:21,320 Speaker 1: the Rays. They're The other name is Hesse Young King. 409 00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:25,240 Speaker 1: Hey Hiss Young Kim. I can't pronounce it. Who plays 410 00:21:25,240 --> 00:21:29,560 Speaker 1: for the Dodgers. Two different players, very similar names, especially 411 00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:34,760 Speaker 1: for Americans struggling to pronounce them. And I'm not finding 412 00:21:35,119 --> 00:21:38,399 Speaker 1: the pronunciation chart I was looking for, so useless. But 413 00:21:40,040 --> 00:21:44,080 Speaker 1: the one you're talking about is h dash se O 414 00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:47,720 Speaker 1: n G Kim and he's a veteran who's been in 415 00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:49,000 Speaker 1: the league for a while. The other one on the 416 00:21:49,040 --> 00:21:53,840 Speaker 1: Dodgers is a rookie playing part time for the Dodgers. 417 00:21:53,880 --> 00:21:57,480 Speaker 1: But both pretty good players. What's similar profiles do with? 418 00:21:57,680 --> 00:21:58,840 Speaker 1: You know, some kind of like a little bit of 419 00:21:58,840 --> 00:22:04,640 Speaker 1: power and some speed. Yeah, I think the you're really 420 00:22:04,680 --> 00:22:11,560 Speaker 1: looking for speed from has Young Kim and hopefully the 421 00:22:13,240 --> 00:22:15,359 Speaker 1: Rays don't just like send him to the minors like 422 00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:18,159 Speaker 1: they did Chandler Simpson for no reason when we were 423 00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:25,000 Speaker 1: all enjoying that speed. So my favorite hitter this week, 424 00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:28,600 Speaker 1: and I included a bonus in here, with the caveat 425 00:22:28,680 --> 00:22:32,120 Speaker 1: being if Jack Jack Caglione is available in your league, 426 00:22:32,160 --> 00:22:34,879 Speaker 1: pick him up first, like pause this episode, go pick 427 00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:36,520 Speaker 1: him up and then come back and we'll continue talking. 428 00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:40,080 Speaker 1: Because I do think depending on like how and when 429 00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:42,399 Speaker 1: waivers run in some leagues, he is still available in 430 00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:44,680 Speaker 1: some leagues, whether it's you know, not that deep of 431 00:22:44,760 --> 00:22:47,639 Speaker 1: a league, or just like when he came up, waivers 432 00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:49,840 Speaker 1: had not run yet. And so if you're in one 433 00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:51,879 Speaker 1: of those leagues, don't forget and make sure he's not 434 00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:55,159 Speaker 1: not rostered. And I will say I posted this on 435 00:22:55,280 --> 00:22:58,119 Speaker 1: the Fantasy Bros Baseball Twitter account the other day, but 436 00:22:58,600 --> 00:23:00,760 Speaker 1: one of the really useful features that Fantasy Pros is 437 00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:04,159 Speaker 1: if you sink all your teams to Fantasy Pros, you 438 00:23:04,280 --> 00:23:08,320 Speaker 1: can just go to Jack Kegger Leone's player page and 439 00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:10,399 Speaker 1: see where he is in all of your leagues in 440 00:23:10,440 --> 00:23:12,879 Speaker 1: one spot. It's one of my favorite features where I 441 00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:15,199 Speaker 1: don't have to open up fan tracks and open up 442 00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:19,480 Speaker 1: CBS and open up ESPN and mainly search for his 443 00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:20,920 Speaker 1: name on every league. I can just go to his 444 00:23:20,960 --> 00:23:22,960 Speaker 1: player page on Fantasy Pros and be like, okay, he's 445 00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:24,800 Speaker 1: available in these two leagues, let me go pick him 446 00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:28,280 Speaker 1: up there. And I can also see, okay, this manager 447 00:23:28,359 --> 00:23:30,440 Speaker 1: in my other league has him, let me start firing 448 00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:33,080 Speaker 1: off some trade offers. So just wanted to put that 449 00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:35,359 Speaker 1: out there as a company man. One of my favorite features. 450 00:23:35,560 --> 00:23:37,960 Speaker 1: So I recommend you sink your leagues. I find it 451 00:23:38,119 --> 00:23:43,639 Speaker 1: very useful. My favorite hitter is Ronnie Mauricio, power speed 452 00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:47,080 Speaker 1: prospect who is getting some run at third base for 453 00:23:47,160 --> 00:23:50,760 Speaker 1: the Mets right now. And I think he is kind 454 00:23:50,760 --> 00:23:54,600 Speaker 1: of player who is good enough who because Mark Vantez 455 00:23:54,640 --> 00:23:56,080 Speaker 1: is on the al with the hamstring injury's going to 456 00:23:56,119 --> 00:23:59,280 Speaker 1: be out for at least two weeks, Ronnie Mauricio is 457 00:23:59,359 --> 00:24:02,159 Speaker 1: called up and playing third base in his stead. So 458 00:24:02,920 --> 00:24:05,720 Speaker 1: logic would tell you Bandos is back, Mauricio is out. 459 00:24:06,680 --> 00:24:08,280 Speaker 1: I don't know that's necessarily going to be the case, 460 00:24:08,320 --> 00:24:11,880 Speaker 1: because Mauricio is good enough that like, like we talked 461 00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:14,560 Speaker 1: about before, a lot of these young hitters come up 462 00:24:14,560 --> 00:24:17,560 Speaker 1: and they struggle. If he's good enough right away or early, 463 00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:20,760 Speaker 1: you know, shows enough, he will either take that could 464 00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:23,600 Speaker 1: either take that third job, third base job, or earn 465 00:24:23,680 --> 00:24:25,680 Speaker 1: his way onto the field elsewhere. He's that good of 466 00:24:25,760 --> 00:24:29,160 Speaker 1: a prospect. And so he's the kind of player who 467 00:24:29,320 --> 00:24:30,960 Speaker 1: I just think you need to add and see what happens, 468 00:24:31,080 --> 00:24:35,080 Speaker 1: especially as we keep saying this week, he plays third base, 469 00:24:35,480 --> 00:24:39,119 Speaker 1: and he has a pulse at third base, and he 470 00:24:39,640 --> 00:24:45,760 Speaker 1: is twenty four years old. Dominican prospect and he's showed 471 00:24:45,800 --> 00:24:48,159 Speaker 1: a ton of power speed in the miners. So in 472 00:24:48,320 --> 00:24:50,400 Speaker 1: twenty twenty three in Triple A, one hundred and sixteen games, 473 00:24:50,440 --> 00:24:53,600 Speaker 1: twenty three home runs, twenty four stolen bases, twenty twenty 474 00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:55,760 Speaker 1: two double A similar story, twenty six um rounds, twenty 475 00:24:55,760 --> 00:24:59,880 Speaker 1: ston bases in twenty twenty three bad at two ninety two, 476 00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:02,800 Speaker 1: twenty twenty two bat at two fifty nine, and then 477 00:25:02,840 --> 00:25:06,000 Speaker 1: this year before getting called up, nineteen games, bat at 478 00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:08,840 Speaker 1: three twenty three with three home runs and six six 479 00:25:08,880 --> 00:25:12,879 Speaker 1: stolen bases across the miners, most of that in Triple A. 480 00:25:15,119 --> 00:25:16,840 Speaker 1: And I just think he's a really good prospect and 481 00:25:17,760 --> 00:25:19,440 Speaker 1: he could take that job, and if he does, you 482 00:25:19,560 --> 00:25:22,680 Speaker 1: might have double digit home runs and stolen bases waiting 483 00:25:22,720 --> 00:25:24,600 Speaker 1: for you for the rest of the season. You have 484 00:25:24,600 --> 00:25:26,960 Speaker 1: any thoughts on Ronnie Mauricio, I. 485 00:25:27,119 --> 00:25:30,280 Speaker 2: Don't, but I looked him up when I saw you 486 00:25:30,359 --> 00:25:32,959 Speaker 2: put him in there, and I agree with pretty much 487 00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:36,119 Speaker 2: everything you said, So I would also be looking to 488 00:25:36,119 --> 00:25:38,119 Speaker 2: pick him up, I think, in any league, especially if 489 00:25:38,160 --> 00:25:39,359 Speaker 2: you need a third basement. 490 00:25:39,560 --> 00:25:44,320 Speaker 1: So faux show, let's talk about your favorite picture. 491 00:25:45,800 --> 00:25:49,040 Speaker 2: So my favorite picture is basically Yuri Perez. If he's 492 00:25:49,080 --> 00:25:52,080 Speaker 2: still out there. According to Fantasy Prosy's owned in like 493 00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:55,359 Speaker 2: forty percent of leagues somewhere in that. And I have 494 00:25:55,480 --> 00:25:58,560 Speaker 2: a really really deep analysis on this for everyone, I said, 495 00:25:58,640 --> 00:26:01,720 Speaker 2: this falls into the why not category because he's scheduled 496 00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:05,440 Speaker 2: to face Pittsburgh and Washington next week, So like I 497 00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:07,439 Speaker 2: would take a flyer. I think he's a good pitcher. 498 00:26:07,560 --> 00:26:09,960 Speaker 2: I think that I liked him before he went down. 499 00:26:10,720 --> 00:26:12,960 Speaker 2: It scares me a little to pick him up like 500 00:26:13,080 --> 00:26:15,639 Speaker 2: for that first like start, because sometimes it takes him 501 00:26:15,640 --> 00:26:19,200 Speaker 2: a minute to settle back in. But I guess I'd 502 00:26:19,280 --> 00:26:21,800 Speaker 2: rather be in on him for those two starts and 503 00:26:21,840 --> 00:26:24,359 Speaker 2: see where he lands than to not pick him up 504 00:26:24,400 --> 00:26:24,920 Speaker 2: at this point. 505 00:26:27,119 --> 00:26:30,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree, he's really young. Obviously he's missed some time. 506 00:26:30,640 --> 00:26:32,840 Speaker 1: He's still only twenty two years old. I would have 507 00:26:32,880 --> 00:26:36,280 Speaker 1: guessed he's much older than that. But again, you know, 508 00:26:36,560 --> 00:26:40,600 Speaker 1: really good prospect, really good stuff, and he is the 509 00:26:40,680 --> 00:26:42,920 Speaker 1: kind of picture who can you know he can he 510 00:26:42,960 --> 00:26:45,560 Speaker 1: can come in and pitch to like a three or 511 00:26:45,600 --> 00:26:47,520 Speaker 1: sub three Arra or you know, give or take three 512 00:26:47,640 --> 00:26:50,600 Speaker 1: era with more than a strike up or inning, which 513 00:26:51,560 --> 00:26:54,800 Speaker 1: is really valuable. My one concern would be innings. How 514 00:26:54,800 --> 00:26:56,080 Speaker 1: many innings we're going to get out of him. But 515 00:26:56,080 --> 00:26:58,119 Speaker 1: we're already in June, so that's less of a concern. 516 00:26:58,240 --> 00:27:02,000 Speaker 1: Now then if we're talking April and like, what does 517 00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:04,280 Speaker 1: a full season look like like, he already has missed 518 00:27:04,320 --> 00:27:07,199 Speaker 1: two months, and you know they can probably stretch him 519 00:27:07,200 --> 00:27:10,760 Speaker 1: out for the rest of the season because you know, 520 00:27:10,880 --> 00:27:14,280 Speaker 1: he missed all of twenty twenty four, so he probably 521 00:27:14,320 --> 00:27:16,359 Speaker 1: has an innings cap on him, but you know, missing 522 00:27:16,400 --> 00:27:19,000 Speaker 1: the first two months is helpful there. So I agree 523 00:27:19,119 --> 00:27:23,440 Speaker 1: really like Eury Perez, and he probably is available in 524 00:27:23,480 --> 00:27:26,440 Speaker 1: a bunch of your leagues because he's still rehabbing and 525 00:27:26,480 --> 00:27:29,240 Speaker 1: he's not back yet, and so a lot of people 526 00:27:29,359 --> 00:27:31,720 Speaker 1: probably didn't draft him and stash him just because he 527 00:27:31,800 --> 00:27:33,320 Speaker 1: was going to be out for so long. But now 528 00:27:33,400 --> 00:27:36,520 Speaker 1: that he's coming back, you know, check see if he's available. 529 00:27:36,840 --> 00:27:39,679 Speaker 1: Maybe sink your teams to Fantasy Pros and check your 530 00:27:39,760 --> 00:27:43,919 Speaker 1: leagues there and see if he's available. My favorite pitcher 531 00:27:44,880 --> 00:27:48,200 Speaker 1: is Mick Abel, who has debuted already and has looked 532 00:27:48,320 --> 00:27:52,600 Speaker 1: pretty darn good, and the Philly has just said just 533 00:27:52,640 --> 00:27:56,720 Speaker 1: announced he's staying up. They also said recently that Andrew 534 00:27:56,760 --> 00:27:59,080 Speaker 1: Painter their top pitching prospect. It probably hasn't coming up 535 00:27:59,119 --> 00:28:01,119 Speaker 1: till after the All Star so that is a bummer, 536 00:28:02,359 --> 00:28:05,119 Speaker 1: but I'll deal with make Abel in the meantime. You know, 537 00:28:05,200 --> 00:28:09,640 Speaker 1: he's looked pretty good through two starts zero point seventy 538 00:28:09,680 --> 00:28:12,320 Speaker 1: nine ERA. Obviously he's expected numbers are a little bit 539 00:28:12,400 --> 00:28:15,040 Speaker 1: higher than that, but you know, when your ERA is 540 00:28:15,119 --> 00:28:16,720 Speaker 1: zero point seven nine, it's kind of hard for them 541 00:28:16,720 --> 00:28:19,560 Speaker 1: to not be higher than that. And eleven strikeouts and 542 00:28:19,560 --> 00:28:25,280 Speaker 1: eleven and third innings, no walks, zero walks, and two starts, 543 00:28:25,280 --> 00:28:26,720 Speaker 1: which is pretty good, want to know, on a good 544 00:28:26,720 --> 00:28:31,240 Speaker 1: Phillies team. And I just he just he pitched really 545 00:28:31,280 --> 00:28:33,359 Speaker 1: really well at Triple A. And when he kind of 546 00:28:33,400 --> 00:28:34,879 Speaker 1: came up and looked really good and went back down, 547 00:28:34,960 --> 00:28:36,359 Speaker 1: Everyone's like, what the heck? And then he came up 548 00:28:36,800 --> 00:28:38,680 Speaker 1: looked really good again. The Phillies were like, Okay, he's 549 00:28:38,680 --> 00:28:41,480 Speaker 1: gonna stick around now, no more of this Taiwan Walker nonsense. 550 00:28:43,520 --> 00:28:43,720 Speaker 2: Yeah. 551 00:28:43,920 --> 00:28:47,200 Speaker 1: I just think he I think he's good and he's 552 00:28:47,240 --> 00:28:50,800 Speaker 1: young and exciting. I was actually talking to Worm about 553 00:28:50,960 --> 00:28:53,959 Speaker 1: him earlier in the week, and because he was deciding 554 00:28:54,040 --> 00:28:57,880 Speaker 1: on starting Mickabel or Kevin Gosman, and I think you 555 00:28:57,920 --> 00:28:59,120 Speaker 1: talked to him about it as well. I think we 556 00:28:59,120 --> 00:29:02,400 Speaker 1: gave him different answers. Yeah, I said, I was a 557 00:29:02,400 --> 00:29:05,040 Speaker 1: little bit nervous, like I like Able a lot, but 558 00:29:05,480 --> 00:29:07,560 Speaker 1: his matchup was against the Blue Jays, and I was like, 559 00:29:07,680 --> 00:29:10,640 Speaker 1: I don't really love that, you know, as a you know, 560 00:29:10,720 --> 00:29:14,480 Speaker 1: pretty young pitcher. So I think Gosman's the safer pick. 561 00:29:14,720 --> 00:29:17,200 Speaker 1: But he's did all right against the Blue Jays, so 562 00:29:18,080 --> 00:29:20,520 Speaker 1: hopefully I wasn't giving bad advice, So hopefully he didn't 563 00:29:20,520 --> 00:29:25,080 Speaker 1: follow my advice. Any thoughts, I mick Able, I think 564 00:29:25,120 --> 00:29:26,160 Speaker 1: I think you're a fan as well. 565 00:29:26,240 --> 00:29:28,560 Speaker 2: I believe, yeah, I'm also a fan. I mean, I 566 00:29:28,640 --> 00:29:30,560 Speaker 2: don't like that he struck out nine in his first 567 00:29:30,840 --> 00:29:32,280 Speaker 2: his first and then he only struck out two in 568 00:29:32,360 --> 00:29:35,320 Speaker 2: the second. But I'm okay with it for all of 569 00:29:35,360 --> 00:29:37,160 Speaker 2: the reasons you just said. He's on a good team. 570 00:29:37,280 --> 00:29:40,760 Speaker 2: I love that he hasn't walked anyone whenever there's that 571 00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:43,920 Speaker 2: idea that he's and he's just not necessarily it's not 572 00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:47,280 Speaker 2: like he's pitching to contact. He's also given up eight hits, 573 00:29:47,320 --> 00:29:51,400 Speaker 2: so I'm I'm I like him. I like him probably 574 00:29:51,440 --> 00:29:55,120 Speaker 2: a little more than I actually like Uri, just in 575 00:29:55,320 --> 00:29:59,479 Speaker 2: terms of the situation because I mean, URI's still in Miami. 576 00:29:59,560 --> 00:30:03,360 Speaker 2: But yeah, no, he's one of my favorites too. 577 00:30:04,360 --> 00:30:06,760 Speaker 1: That is a good point. That's a good context that 578 00:30:07,280 --> 00:30:09,640 Speaker 1: only two strikeouts in his last start after nine on 579 00:30:09,720 --> 00:30:12,000 Speaker 1: his first start, When you say eleven strikeouts eleven innings 580 00:30:12,040 --> 00:30:14,160 Speaker 1: and are like, all right, that's pretty good. When you 581 00:30:14,200 --> 00:30:15,520 Speaker 1: see the contact that it was only two in his 582 00:30:15,560 --> 00:30:16,720 Speaker 1: most recent that's a little bit different. 583 00:30:17,040 --> 00:30:19,040 Speaker 2: But the Blue Jays don't strike out a ton, so 584 00:30:19,480 --> 00:30:20,520 Speaker 2: I'm not as worried about it. 585 00:30:21,160 --> 00:30:24,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, first start Pirates, second start Blue Jays. Blue Jays 586 00:30:24,280 --> 00:30:26,120 Speaker 1: offense has been really, really good, and that's why I 587 00:30:26,240 --> 00:30:30,000 Speaker 1: told Worm I would probably avoid them just because they 588 00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:32,720 Speaker 1: I forget what I looked at. I think it was 589 00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:35,280 Speaker 1: Welba over the last two weeks setting into this week, 590 00:30:35,840 --> 00:30:37,760 Speaker 1: and the Blue Jays were number two behind the Dodgers, 591 00:30:37,800 --> 00:30:40,320 Speaker 1: and I was like, I just don't want to mess 592 00:30:40,440 --> 00:30:44,040 Speaker 1: with that offense right now, so I would stay away. Okay, 593 00:30:44,280 --> 00:30:47,720 Speaker 1: some other deep league targets to close things out. One 594 00:30:47,760 --> 00:30:49,880 Speaker 1: I wanted to mention, and I don't know how soon 595 00:30:49,960 --> 00:30:51,920 Speaker 1: he's gonna come up. But there was a really interesting 596 00:30:51,960 --> 00:30:54,560 Speaker 1: report the other day about Kyle Teal. Kyle Teal is 597 00:30:54,600 --> 00:30:57,440 Speaker 1: a top prospect in baseball, a top catching prospect in 598 00:30:57,520 --> 00:31:02,160 Speaker 1: baseball who was part of the Guard trade. So there 599 00:31:02,280 --> 00:31:04,200 Speaker 1: was Teal was the headline. He was part of the 600 00:31:04,240 --> 00:31:07,800 Speaker 1: Red Sox Big four with Roman Anthony, Marcella Meyer, and 601 00:31:07,960 --> 00:31:10,560 Speaker 1: Christian Campbell. Now it's a big three, but Kyle Teal 602 00:31:10,720 --> 00:31:12,760 Speaker 1: was the four and that big four, and he was 603 00:31:12,800 --> 00:31:15,960 Speaker 1: the headline of the Guy Crouchet trade. Now he's in 604 00:31:16,080 --> 00:31:18,360 Speaker 1: the White Sox system. The White Sox stink, but they 605 00:31:18,360 --> 00:31:21,000 Speaker 1: also have a very good catching prospect kind of blocking Teal, 606 00:31:21,080 --> 00:31:25,880 Speaker 1: although I think Teal is better personally. He's doing really 607 00:31:25,920 --> 00:31:28,600 Speaker 1: well in TRIPA A and he recently started working out 608 00:31:28,640 --> 00:31:33,080 Speaker 1: at first base. And so if Kyle Teal comes up 609 00:31:33,560 --> 00:31:37,200 Speaker 1: and plays first base and has catcher eligibility, that could 610 00:31:37,240 --> 00:31:39,719 Speaker 1: be really valuable in fantasy, especially because he's the kind 611 00:31:39,760 --> 00:31:44,360 Speaker 1: of catcher who he's kind of like a I would 612 00:31:44,360 --> 00:31:46,560 Speaker 1: almost say, like a real Muto Like he comes up, 613 00:31:46,640 --> 00:31:49,400 Speaker 1: he's gonna like he's known for a good average, he's 614 00:31:49,440 --> 00:31:51,000 Speaker 1: gonna steal bases, and he's got a little bit of 615 00:31:51,040 --> 00:31:53,720 Speaker 1: power as well, so he could could he could put 616 00:31:53,800 --> 00:31:56,040 Speaker 1: up that kind of real Muto stat line early in 617 00:31:56,120 --> 00:31:58,960 Speaker 1: his career as long as he performs at the majors 618 00:31:59,040 --> 00:32:02,280 Speaker 1: the way he has in the minor, so I don't 619 00:32:02,320 --> 00:32:05,720 Speaker 1: think he's necessarily close to coming up, but the fact 620 00:32:05,720 --> 00:32:07,400 Speaker 1: that he's working out of first base was very interesting 621 00:32:07,480 --> 00:32:10,560 Speaker 1: to me. So if you're in a deep league where 622 00:32:10,560 --> 00:32:12,920 Speaker 1: you can kind of stash him, I would consider doing so. 623 00:32:14,080 --> 00:32:17,160 Speaker 1: Addison Barger someone we talked about earlier. Was it the 624 00:32:17,200 --> 00:32:19,360 Speaker 1: previous video we talked Yeah, in the first video of 625 00:32:19,400 --> 00:32:22,560 Speaker 1: the week, talked about Addison Barger. He's still widely available, 626 00:32:22,560 --> 00:32:24,400 Speaker 1: So if you need help there, he's someone who's swinging 627 00:32:24,400 --> 00:32:27,480 Speaker 1: a hot bat. Jose cabierro seven sole bases over the 628 00:32:27,560 --> 00:32:29,360 Speaker 1: last two weeks. If you need some steals, he's been 629 00:32:29,720 --> 00:32:33,760 Speaker 1: coming along. Mike Takman is making an appearance again. He's 630 00:32:33,800 --> 00:32:35,120 Speaker 1: been hitting well over the last couple of weeks. So 631 00:32:35,160 --> 00:32:37,360 Speaker 1: if you need outfield help in five outfields your league, 632 00:32:37,400 --> 00:32:40,000 Speaker 1: he's someone who's doing some things and as a pulse. 633 00:32:40,640 --> 00:32:44,480 Speaker 1: Lance mcullers we already talked about. He's pretty widely available still, 634 00:32:44,760 --> 00:32:46,240 Speaker 1: which I thought was surprising. I thought he would be 635 00:32:46,320 --> 00:32:49,240 Speaker 1: rostered in more leagues given his recent performance, but he's 636 00:32:49,240 --> 00:32:52,360 Speaker 1: still pretty available. Dustin May also still pretty available, So 637 00:32:52,400 --> 00:32:55,240 Speaker 1: if you need pitching, I am a big Dustin may fan. 638 00:32:55,960 --> 00:32:57,960 Speaker 1: I think a lot of people dropped him after some 639 00:32:58,040 --> 00:33:00,600 Speaker 1: like in consistent performances, but I think overall, well he's 640 00:33:00,760 --> 00:33:04,920 Speaker 1: very good. And then another picture who was probably dropped 641 00:33:05,480 --> 00:33:07,560 Speaker 1: because of poor early performance, but who has been pitching 642 00:33:07,640 --> 00:33:10,200 Speaker 1: very well lately, as Gavin Williams. So those are all 643 00:33:10,320 --> 00:33:13,240 Speaker 1: candidates in maybe not the deepest of leagues, but like 644 00:33:13,360 --> 00:33:17,200 Speaker 1: twelve team Rota or deeper, there's a good chance handful 645 00:33:17,240 --> 00:33:19,240 Speaker 1: of these players are available, and so take a look 646 00:33:19,240 --> 00:33:21,960 Speaker 1: at them if you need help. And that's all we 647 00:33:22,040 --> 00:33:24,520 Speaker 1: have for this second video. Make sure you check out 648 00:33:24,560 --> 00:33:26,520 Speaker 1: our first video, Rounding the Bases, where we talk a 649 00:33:26,760 --> 00:33:30,120 Speaker 1: all about news, notes and trending players.
