<v Speaker 1>number two Fantasy best friends forever? Here on the Fantasy

0:00:55.920 --> 0:00:59.840
<v Speaker 1>Sports Radio Network. I am Greg Susman. We are joy

0:01:00.080 --> 0:01:02.160
<v Speaker 1>here by Frank Stample Chris Venture of course for our

0:01:02.240 --> 0:01:05.240
<v Speaker 1>number two are special guests, so we'll get Venture spots

0:01:05.280 --> 0:01:08.080
<v Speaker 1>on all these outfielders. That's all in this tier, Frankie.

0:01:08.120 --> 0:01:11.080
<v Speaker 1>The tier is the tier. I mean, it's so obvious

0:01:11.120 --> 0:01:13.000
<v Speaker 1>that there all these guys are very very similar, and

0:01:13.040 --> 0:01:16.840
<v Speaker 1>I have ranked personal preference. It's massive, man, you know,

0:01:17.160 --> 0:01:19.160
<v Speaker 1>and it goes, it goes further than the names that

0:01:19.200 --> 0:01:21.800
<v Speaker 1>we've mentioned so far too. But I mean we'll get

0:01:21.840 --> 0:01:24.240
<v Speaker 1>into a few more of these guys. I think this

0:01:24.360 --> 0:01:28.399
<v Speaker 1>is a pretty long tier of like round five through eight,

0:01:29.000 --> 0:01:35.400
<v Speaker 1>mid round outfielders that have pretty solid upside. And again

0:01:35.760 --> 0:01:37.480
<v Speaker 1>this is the range where you know, I want to

0:01:37.520 --> 0:01:40.520
<v Speaker 1>have three outfielders by you know, for me, it's my

0:01:40.600 --> 0:01:42.880
<v Speaker 1>top thirty five outfielders. I want to have three by

0:01:42.880 --> 0:01:45.520
<v Speaker 1>this point. I really don't. I don't want to be

0:01:45.959 --> 0:01:49.600
<v Speaker 1>looking at you know, David Peralta, and and and and

0:01:49.680 --> 0:01:52.080
<v Speaker 1>Meadows as my outfielder three. I want those guys. It's

0:01:52.120 --> 0:01:55.560
<v Speaker 1>like my four venture rank ranked these guys in your

0:01:55.640 --> 0:01:58.480
<v Speaker 1>order for us? All right, ready, well not really, but

0:02:03.520 --> 0:02:10.679
<v Speaker 1>David Doll, Marzello, Zuna, Dick Castianos, Eddie Rosario, and Mitch

0:02:10.720 --> 0:02:16.760
<v Speaker 1>Hanneger a lot of guys two favorite. All right, that's fair.

0:02:17.880 --> 0:02:21.160
<v Speaker 1>Ozuna is up there is a favorite, probably least favorite

0:02:21.160 --> 0:02:23.119
<v Speaker 1>of these guys. Is he at least favorite personally? Yeah?

0:02:23.160 --> 0:02:25.000
<v Speaker 1>I mean I like Doll. I haven't reaked the lowest.

0:02:25.000 --> 0:02:32.960
<v Speaker 1>It's probably my least favorite. Uh so, wait, you said Doll, Ozuna, Castianos, Rosario, Hannager,

0:02:33.040 --> 0:02:39.520
<v Speaker 1>and Twig. Okay, so Hanager is probably we did seven.

0:02:39.520 --> 0:02:41.440
<v Speaker 1>We did do second did seven? To us? I think

0:02:41.440 --> 0:02:45.760
<v Speaker 1>I like Hanager the most uh, and then Cofordo is definitely,

0:02:46.360 --> 0:02:48.960
<v Speaker 1>you know, ahead of most of those guys. For me,

0:02:49.360 --> 0:02:53.600
<v Speaker 1>puiguig Puig, I don't know how to say his, can't

0:02:53.600 --> 0:02:59.920
<v Speaker 1>say say. I'm not good at saying that Pig is

0:03:00.040 --> 0:03:02.680
<v Speaker 1>up there for me, those three probably ben O Zuna,

0:03:03.800 --> 0:03:08.280
<v Speaker 1>then I would say Rosario and Castiano. Castiano is kind

0:03:08.320 --> 0:03:10.760
<v Speaker 1>of full behind them, you know. But you know what

0:03:10.760 --> 0:03:12.840
<v Speaker 1>it sounds like to me, Ventral likes a lot of

0:03:12.880 --> 0:03:15.560
<v Speaker 1>these guys. It does sound like that we all, like you,

0:03:15.600 --> 0:03:16.760
<v Speaker 1>like a lot of them. We all like a lot

0:03:16.800 --> 0:03:19.440
<v Speaker 1>of We like this tier. We like this tier in general.

0:03:20.160 --> 0:03:22.160
<v Speaker 1>I'm cool with the tea and I think the tears

0:03:22.280 --> 0:03:25.560
<v Speaker 1>over now, that is that where I should end my tear?

0:03:25.639 --> 0:03:26.920
<v Speaker 1>What do you think? Oh, That's what I'm asking you.

0:03:26.960 --> 0:03:30.799
<v Speaker 1>Do you agree with that tier ends here? Well? There

0:03:30.800 --> 0:03:32.359
<v Speaker 1>were there are a few other guys where I don't

0:03:32.400 --> 0:03:35.200
<v Speaker 1>really mind if these players end up beating my Outfitler three.

0:03:35.240 --> 0:03:36.880
<v Speaker 1>I know where you're going on with that, And but

0:03:36.920 --> 0:03:38.280
<v Speaker 1>I don't think those guys are on this tier. I

0:03:38.320 --> 0:03:40.400
<v Speaker 1>don't think Justin Upton and Michael Brantley are in this team.

0:03:40.440 --> 0:03:43.640
<v Speaker 1>What about Pollock? That's another name I want to get

0:03:43.640 --> 0:03:45.480
<v Speaker 1>to that is really interesting. Let me you don't let

0:03:45.520 --> 0:03:47.240
<v Speaker 1>me start with A J. Pollock. That's a good one, Chris,

0:03:47.440 --> 0:03:51.280
<v Speaker 1>because AJ Pollock gets Jeff and every year because he

0:03:51.320 --> 0:03:54.760
<v Speaker 1>has the upside to do seemingly everything. Last year, before

0:03:54.800 --> 0:03:58.480
<v Speaker 1>A J. Pollock got hurt, he was running absolutely wild,

0:03:58.720 --> 0:04:02.120
<v Speaker 1>right like, he was just running everywhere and stopped and

0:04:02.160 --> 0:04:03.960
<v Speaker 1>he was the first he had tenne runs and ten

0:04:04.120 --> 0:04:07.080
<v Speaker 1>or ten still amazing before anybody in baseball last year.

0:04:08.440 --> 0:04:11.040
<v Speaker 1>And then he stopped, he got hurt and came back

0:04:11.080 --> 0:04:13.520
<v Speaker 1>and he's just at no point was the same player.

0:04:13.720 --> 0:04:15.120
<v Speaker 1>You could make the case and I'm gonna give you

0:04:15.120 --> 0:04:19.880
<v Speaker 1>the status all in moment here that through April he

0:04:20.040 --> 0:04:23.080
<v Speaker 1>was your m v P to ninety one nine homers

0:04:23.080 --> 0:04:26.720
<v Speaker 1>and six stolen bases. He didn't steal more than three

0:04:26.720 --> 0:04:29.640
<v Speaker 1>stolen bases in any other month the rest of the season.

0:04:30.680 --> 0:04:33.640
<v Speaker 1>He didn't more hit more than five home runs in

0:04:33.720 --> 0:04:38.400
<v Speaker 1>any month the rest of the season. Why. Probably because

0:04:38.480 --> 0:04:41.120
<v Speaker 1>he was never healthy again the rest of the season.

0:04:41.560 --> 0:04:43.599
<v Speaker 1>That's the problem when it comes to A. J. Pollock,

0:04:43.640 --> 0:04:45.520
<v Speaker 1>and has always been the problem with A J. Pollock.

0:04:46.000 --> 0:04:49.080
<v Speaker 1>The upside is tantalizing it. He had twenty stolen bases,

0:04:49.080 --> 0:04:53.080
<v Speaker 1>and we saw that he already has twenty home run power.

0:04:53.080 --> 0:04:57.640
<v Speaker 1>He's done it twice. But he's never ever healthy. And

0:04:57.680 --> 0:05:01.480
<v Speaker 1>now he's not in Arizona anymore at Chase Field, He's

0:05:01.520 --> 0:05:04.840
<v Speaker 1>in Dodger Stadium. He's not a spring chicken anymore either.

0:05:05.400 --> 0:05:09.080
<v Speaker 1>He's over thirty years old. He's thirty one years old. A. J.

0:05:09.240 --> 0:05:12.680
<v Speaker 1>Pollock isn't the same guy. And you know, Chris, he's

0:05:12.720 --> 0:05:17.240
<v Speaker 1>going to be hurt. He has played over a hundred

0:05:17.400 --> 0:05:22.240
<v Speaker 1>and thirty games twice in his entire career. Really only

0:05:22.279 --> 0:05:26.960
<v Speaker 1>have one full season, yeah, which was a monster monster

0:05:27.920 --> 0:05:29.680
<v Speaker 1>was close to a full season as well, undred and

0:05:29.720 --> 0:05:32.279
<v Speaker 1>thirty seven games. That's close as he's been. That's it.

0:05:32.680 --> 0:05:34.960
<v Speaker 1>There is nothing to suggest that he can stay healthy

0:05:34.960 --> 0:05:36.839
<v Speaker 1>for a hundred and fifty games. Again, I don't think

0:05:36.839 --> 0:05:39.360
<v Speaker 1>that's possible. I don't think that's reasonable. And that's why

0:05:39.400 --> 0:05:42.120
<v Speaker 1>I don't think he's in that tier, because you you're

0:05:42.120 --> 0:05:44.640
<v Speaker 1>get pretty much guaranteed team he's getting hurt, right, almost

0:05:44.640 --> 0:05:48.560
<v Speaker 1>guarantee he's and it's forty games. I think it's more

0:05:48.640 --> 0:05:51.360
<v Speaker 1>the upside, like when he plays, he's gonna play at

0:05:51.360 --> 0:05:53.120
<v Speaker 1>a higher level than most of these guys. I don't

0:05:53.160 --> 0:05:55.440
<v Speaker 1>agree with that. That's what's I think you're gonna see

0:05:55.440 --> 0:05:58.360
<v Speaker 1>a similar level, maybe a similar level, which is why

0:05:58.560 --> 0:06:00.000
<v Speaker 1>I like the guys who are gonna play more. GA

0:06:00.000 --> 0:06:03.360
<v Speaker 1>game is better than him. Rank right. He had one

0:06:03.400 --> 0:06:06.920
<v Speaker 1>home runs in thirteen bases only thirteen games last year.

0:06:07.040 --> 0:06:09.520
<v Speaker 1>Nine of those home runs came in April. Six of

0:06:09.520 --> 0:06:11.560
<v Speaker 1>the stolen basis came in April before he got hurt.

0:06:11.720 --> 0:06:14.080
<v Speaker 1>The thing is, how how do you project him for

0:06:14.200 --> 0:06:16.719
<v Speaker 1>much more than that? The past three years? He's played

0:06:16.720 --> 0:06:20.320
<v Speaker 1>a hundred thirteen, hundred and twelve and twelve correct game.

0:06:20.480 --> 0:06:22.400
<v Speaker 1>You can't each of the past three years. You can't

0:06:22.440 --> 0:06:24.599
<v Speaker 1>played a hundred and fifty seven games once that was in.

0:06:26.080 --> 0:06:29.120
<v Speaker 1>He is now thirty one years old his eight thirty

0:06:29.160 --> 0:06:31.760
<v Speaker 1>one season. He does not turn thirty two until December.

0:06:33.720 --> 0:06:35.800
<v Speaker 1>I think when he plays like he's gonna be really

0:06:35.839 --> 0:06:38.920
<v Speaker 1>good because the Dodger's lineup is he's gonna lead off

0:06:39.279 --> 0:06:41.040
<v Speaker 1>for a lineup that take a lot of stock in

0:06:41.160 --> 0:06:43.960
<v Speaker 1>the lineup. So yeah, I've heard that a lot today.

0:06:44.000 --> 0:06:49.599
<v Speaker 1>It means a lot because it determines how many runs,

0:06:49.600 --> 0:06:54.279
<v Speaker 1>your score, how many played appearances you're getting. Um, you know, Yeah,

0:06:54.320 --> 0:06:56.760
<v Speaker 1>I mean it affects her county stats obviously. Look, he's

0:06:56.839 --> 0:06:58.479
<v Speaker 1>leading off for a lineup that has core Corey Seker,

0:06:58.520 --> 0:07:00.920
<v Speaker 1>Justin Turner, and Cody Bellinger behind a and oh wait,

0:07:01.480 --> 0:07:04.080
<v Speaker 1>oh wait, they might get Bryce Harper because now the

0:07:04.120 --> 0:07:07.720
<v Speaker 1>Dodgers are the betting favorites to land Rice Harper. So

0:07:08.480 --> 0:07:10.280
<v Speaker 1>Dodgers line up is pretty good. I mean they also

0:07:10.320 --> 0:07:13.119
<v Speaker 1>have Max Monty too, Like I think when he plays,

0:07:13.160 --> 0:07:15.040
<v Speaker 1>he's gonna be really good. It's just how can you

0:07:15.040 --> 0:07:21.160
<v Speaker 1>project him for more than likely the fan Graphs projection

0:07:21.480 --> 0:07:23.560
<v Speaker 1>projections having between a hundred and twenty s and a

0:07:23.640 --> 0:07:27.240
<v Speaker 1>hundred forty two games. Man, I mean, if that would

0:07:27.240 --> 0:07:30.400
<v Speaker 1>have happened, that would it seems very very optimistic. He

0:07:30.400 --> 0:07:32.520
<v Speaker 1>hasn't been over to sixty six batting average each of

0:07:32.560 --> 0:07:34.560
<v Speaker 1>the past three Like, he's not gonna be on my team.

0:07:35.880 --> 0:07:37.560
<v Speaker 1>Polic is not gonna be on my team, you know,

0:07:37.640 --> 0:07:42.160
<v Speaker 1>as as hantalizing is the word that Greg has been

0:07:42.240 --> 0:07:45.160
<v Speaker 1>using today, as tantalizing as he is with the ability

0:07:45.200 --> 0:07:49.320
<v Speaker 1>to maybe be a player and score a lot of runs,

0:07:50.480 --> 0:07:52.840
<v Speaker 1>it's just like the batting average hasn't been great the

0:07:52.880 --> 0:07:55.080
<v Speaker 1>past couple of years. He misses a lot of games.

0:07:55.080 --> 0:07:58.360
<v Speaker 1>He's older now, thirty one years old. I guess the

0:07:58.400 --> 0:08:01.360
<v Speaker 1>Dodgers line up. I'd just don't. I just don't really

0:08:01.360 --> 0:08:03.880
<v Speaker 1>want anything to do with him, man, I understand. I

0:08:03.920 --> 0:08:07.080
<v Speaker 1>think on a per game basis, though it is tantalizing,

0:08:07.320 --> 0:08:11.520
<v Speaker 1>like when he plays last year to like career high

0:08:11.560 --> 0:08:13.880
<v Speaker 1>twenty one point seven percent k rate, he's never been

0:08:13.880 --> 0:08:17.400
<v Speaker 1>over like you're starting to see like some decline to

0:08:17.680 --> 0:08:19.760
<v Speaker 1>which is crazy to say because this April was awesome,

0:08:20.440 --> 0:08:22.560
<v Speaker 1>but then like his season in a hole was not

0:08:23.960 --> 0:08:26.160
<v Speaker 1>because of the injuries. You know, Um, I don't know

0:08:26.200 --> 0:08:28.360
<v Speaker 1>if he's declined. I think he's just you gotta you

0:08:28.400 --> 0:08:30.200
<v Speaker 1>gotta burn in the fact that he's not gonna probably

0:08:30.200 --> 0:08:32.360
<v Speaker 1>score a hundred runs because he's probably not gonna play

0:08:32.440 --> 0:08:36.640
<v Speaker 1>enough games to so. But but when he's playing, he's

0:08:36.640 --> 0:08:38.880
<v Speaker 1>gonna give you numbers. I mean, he's going to produce

0:08:39.200 --> 0:08:41.520
<v Speaker 1>I think on a consistent basis. So that's my issue.

0:08:41.520 --> 0:08:43.880
<v Speaker 1>I don't think that he's going he's telling like twenty

0:08:43.920 --> 0:08:45.680
<v Speaker 1>to thirty picks later than all the guys we just

0:08:45.679 --> 0:08:49.600
<v Speaker 1>talked about, right, So, Hanneger, that's what he was saying.

0:08:49.640 --> 0:08:51.240
<v Speaker 1>He was saying that he considers him maybe, and that's here,

0:08:51.280 --> 0:08:52.920
<v Speaker 1>that's why I brought him up. Ennegar was the last

0:08:53.000 --> 0:08:54.880
<v Speaker 1>one of of that here that we were just talking about.

0:08:54.920 --> 0:08:57.360
<v Speaker 1>He goes to pick a po over the past two weeks,

0:08:57.440 --> 0:08:59.559
<v Speaker 1>is going pick one thirteen, so he's going twenty two

0:08:59.600 --> 0:09:02.079
<v Speaker 1>picks later. If I like that value about a round

0:09:02.120 --> 0:09:04.760
<v Speaker 1>and a half later. But also going in this range,

0:09:04.960 --> 0:09:06.560
<v Speaker 1>you have a lot of injury risks in this range,

0:09:06.600 --> 0:09:09.160
<v Speaker 1>really just a lot of risk overall. Will Myers is

0:09:09.200 --> 0:09:15.160
<v Speaker 1>going in this range injury risk as well, Michael Brantley

0:09:15.320 --> 0:09:17.280
<v Speaker 1>injury risk is like, there's a lot of injury risk

0:09:17.320 --> 0:09:19.520
<v Speaker 1>in this range. Here's but he's my fields shallow to me,

0:09:19.640 --> 0:09:22.120
<v Speaker 1>I don't really like. Here's my issue with where do

0:09:22.200 --> 0:09:25.000
<v Speaker 1>you feel comfortable with Pollock as in your team? Sorry? Greg,

0:09:25.360 --> 0:09:30.880
<v Speaker 1>uh fourth fourth outfielder. If he's my third, you're gonna

0:09:30.880 --> 0:09:33.000
<v Speaker 1>take your fourth outfielder and round I don't know wherever

0:09:33.080 --> 0:09:36.679
<v Speaker 1>he's going nine, because you're gonna wanta gonna want to

0:09:36.679 --> 0:09:39.360
<v Speaker 1>get a start in that range. You're gonna potentially, yeah,

0:09:40.280 --> 0:09:43.080
<v Speaker 1>he's might see feel I feel comfortable was about fourth outthider.

0:09:43.120 --> 0:09:44.520
<v Speaker 1>I agree with that, but I'm not gonna take it

0:09:44.559 --> 0:09:47.719
<v Speaker 1>where he is. You have him ranked. I don't have

0:09:48.000 --> 0:09:49.320
<v Speaker 1>him wall on a te or these guys. I don't

0:09:49.320 --> 0:09:52.240
<v Speaker 1>have him ranked yet because I deep Chris. He keeps

0:09:52.240 --> 0:09:55.680
<v Speaker 1>saying that when he's out there, he produces. He came

0:09:55.720 --> 0:09:59.400
<v Speaker 1>back last five, and I don't really want he came

0:09:59.440 --> 0:10:01.600
<v Speaker 1>back in Jil. I'm at at two eighty six right,

0:10:01.679 --> 0:10:05.040
<v Speaker 1>four homers, fourteen RBI. He produced right in all he's

0:10:05.040 --> 0:10:06.760
<v Speaker 1>been twenty five games, so he played the entire month.

0:10:07.520 --> 0:10:10.520
<v Speaker 1>One eight nine was his batting average, with one home

0:10:10.640 --> 0:10:13.400
<v Speaker 1>run and ten rivies. He struck out twenty eight times

0:10:13.480 --> 0:10:16.520
<v Speaker 1>in twenty five games. One month later in September slash

0:10:16.559 --> 0:10:18.360
<v Speaker 1>October for the one game they played in October whatever

0:10:18.720 --> 0:10:22.679
<v Speaker 1>to thirty six get five old runs. Give him that,

0:10:24.000 --> 0:10:29.160
<v Speaker 1>but that's terrible. I think there's more in the decline

0:10:29.200 --> 0:10:31.240
<v Speaker 1>and play last year and the decline in him. He's

0:10:31.240 --> 0:10:34.120
<v Speaker 1>just the same guy. The cons outweigh the pros when

0:10:34.160 --> 0:10:36.679
<v Speaker 1>it comes to a j part. I think that you're

0:10:36.679 --> 0:10:38.880
<v Speaker 1>probably right. I mean, listen, when did he get injured

0:10:38.920 --> 0:10:42.439
<v Speaker 1>exactly in the season May May? So, why did he

0:10:42.559 --> 0:10:47.640
<v Speaker 1>do well about two eighty six in? Was it? And

0:10:47.720 --> 0:10:49.280
<v Speaker 1>then what happened that he all of a sudden bad

0:10:49.480 --> 0:10:52.559
<v Speaker 1>one eight. Maybe he was battling an injury, you know,

0:10:54.000 --> 0:10:55.760
<v Speaker 1>through injury, but he's also be playing through injury, you know.

0:10:56.280 --> 0:10:57.719
<v Speaker 1>But like at this point, you kind of gotta bake

0:10:57.760 --> 0:11:00.520
<v Speaker 1>that into his rejection. Again, he hasn't been higher than

0:11:00.600 --> 0:11:02.880
<v Speaker 1>two sixty six batting average each of the past three years.

0:11:03.120 --> 0:11:06.080
<v Speaker 1>Everyone remembers that where he was awesome with twenty home

0:11:06.200 --> 0:11:08.960
<v Speaker 1>runs and thirty nine stolen basis he had three fifteen

0:11:09.040 --> 0:11:11.680
<v Speaker 1>that year. Since then, he's never been over to sixty six.

0:11:11.800 --> 0:11:14.760
<v Speaker 1>So where does the batting average even lie when it

0:11:14.800 --> 0:11:17.200
<v Speaker 1>comes to A. J. Pollock? So you need a backup plane.

0:11:17.280 --> 0:11:19.760
<v Speaker 1>If you're gonna take Pollock. If you take Pollock is

0:11:19.760 --> 0:11:23.319
<v Speaker 1>like a third outfielder as a starting outfader, then you

0:11:23.440 --> 0:11:25.560
<v Speaker 1>need a backup plane. Then you gotta take some Betta,

0:11:25.600 --> 0:11:27.599
<v Speaker 1>take some pretty safe guys after that, Guys that you

0:11:27.679 --> 0:11:29.120
<v Speaker 1>know that are gonna at least but I'll agree with

0:11:29.160 --> 0:11:33.360
<v Speaker 1>you guys that you know doll Comford O, Castiano's Hannager.

0:11:33.440 --> 0:11:35.520
<v Speaker 1>All these guys should be ahead of him. Another guy

0:11:35.600 --> 0:11:38.319
<v Speaker 1>that's injured, as you said, are injury prone, Frank, in

0:11:38.440 --> 0:11:41.320
<v Speaker 1>this tier is Michael Brantley, who you seemingly been high

0:11:41.400 --> 0:11:45.319
<v Speaker 1>on um during this draft process, somebody that you would

0:11:45.360 --> 0:11:48.839
<v Speaker 1>consider as a back end third outfielder. What makes you

0:11:48.920 --> 0:11:54.800
<v Speaker 1>think Michael Brandon's stay healthy. There's really nothing. Again at

0:11:54.880 --> 0:11:57.440
<v Speaker 1>this point in the draft. He's one of the only

0:11:57.480 --> 0:12:00.600
<v Speaker 1>guys that's gonna provide batting average, you know, in round

0:12:01.480 --> 0:12:04.040
<v Speaker 1>eight nine or later range. He's gonna give you a

0:12:04.040 --> 0:12:06.160
<v Speaker 1>three hundred plus batting average and he's gonna be in

0:12:06.160 --> 0:12:09.040
<v Speaker 1>the Astros lineup. Now, again, I wouldn't project him for

0:12:09.440 --> 0:12:12.000
<v Speaker 1>you know, more than like a hundred thirty games maybe,

0:12:12.200 --> 0:12:14.280
<v Speaker 1>which is gonna affect his counting stats. But he played

0:12:14.280 --> 0:12:16.439
<v Speaker 1>a hundred forty three list and that was the most

0:12:16.480 --> 0:12:19.640
<v Speaker 1>he's played. So and he's a little bit older too

0:12:19.720 --> 0:12:22.600
<v Speaker 1>now with Michael Brandley. So again, me personally, I can't

0:12:22.600 --> 0:12:24.280
<v Speaker 1>really project it for much more than like a hundred

0:12:24.280 --> 0:12:26.400
<v Speaker 1>and thirty games. But it was a hundred thirty games.

0:12:26.720 --> 0:12:28.280
<v Speaker 1>He's gonna hit three hundred and he's gonna be in

0:12:28.280 --> 0:12:32.120
<v Speaker 1>the Astro's lineup. So he's gonna be you know, fifteen

0:12:32.320 --> 0:12:34.880
<v Speaker 1>sixteen home runs in that range. He's gonna still give

0:12:34.880 --> 0:12:37.080
<v Speaker 1>you twelve stolen basis, like, he does a little bit

0:12:37.080 --> 0:12:39.080
<v Speaker 1>of everything, and he gives you a three hundred batting average,

0:12:39.120 --> 0:12:42.080
<v Speaker 1>but I think the injury risk kind of baked into

0:12:42.360 --> 0:12:46.360
<v Speaker 1>his his his draft price to like you don't have

0:12:46.480 --> 0:12:48.120
<v Speaker 1>to you know, you know, you don't have to spend

0:12:48.240 --> 0:12:50.800
<v Speaker 1>like a huge draft price to get Michael Brantley on

0:12:50.840 --> 0:12:53.400
<v Speaker 1>your team. It's really like a roster construction thing. So

0:12:53.559 --> 0:12:58.240
<v Speaker 1>you get like, um, I was thinking Adalberto Mondescy. But again,

0:12:58.320 --> 0:13:00.880
<v Speaker 1>like if you get a stolen base guy or you know,

0:13:00.920 --> 0:13:02.880
<v Speaker 1>I think he's a good player to pair with. You know,

0:13:02.960 --> 0:13:05.240
<v Speaker 1>one of these stolen base guys who give you low

0:13:05.280 --> 0:13:09.360
<v Speaker 1>batting average, right like Billie Hamiltomils something like that. It

0:13:09.440 --> 0:13:12.000
<v Speaker 1>comes into roster Construction'll give you a little bit of everything,

0:13:12.640 --> 0:13:14.520
<v Speaker 1>but he gives you batting average, which is it's not

0:13:14.679 --> 0:13:16.960
<v Speaker 1>easy to find in the round nine, round ten range

0:13:17.800 --> 0:13:20.400
<v Speaker 1>in the middle of a roto draft. And for points leagues,

0:13:20.400 --> 0:13:22.480
<v Speaker 1>when he plays, he's gonna be awesome because he doesn't

0:13:22.480 --> 0:13:24.679
<v Speaker 1>strike out. He makes a ton of contact. Is the

0:13:24.720 --> 0:13:30.080
<v Speaker 1>lowest swing strike in the league last year and then too,

0:13:30.360 --> 0:13:32.560
<v Speaker 1>so in a point he's gonna be great. Three points

0:13:32.600 --> 0:13:36.760
<v Speaker 1>and fantasy points is really good. He was great last year.

0:13:36.760 --> 0:13:38.920
<v Speaker 1>I don't think there's any way to dispute that he

0:13:39.040 --> 0:13:42.760
<v Speaker 1>was awesome last year three games played. I actually I

0:13:42.760 --> 0:13:44.960
<v Speaker 1>have a few spots behind Pollock, though two I haven't met.

0:13:45.600 --> 0:13:49.000
<v Speaker 1>I haven't met. I'll field thirty seven. It's yeah, I

0:13:49.080 --> 0:13:56.600
<v Speaker 1>like him ahead of Pollock. Like, look, they're both injury risks, right,

0:13:57.000 --> 0:13:59.120
<v Speaker 1>but you can get more stolen based upside out of Pollock.

0:13:59.600 --> 0:14:01.760
<v Speaker 1>And it's I'm looking at it. I just line up

0:14:01.840 --> 0:14:08.280
<v Speaker 1>is very good too. M hmm. Yeah, the average. One

0:14:08.280 --> 0:14:10.120
<v Speaker 1>more guy that I think is in here, Frank, and

0:14:10.200 --> 0:14:13.360
<v Speaker 1>it's and you have he's a rotic player and I

0:14:13.400 --> 0:14:15.800
<v Speaker 1>hate him because I'm not a ROTO player. I will

0:14:15.840 --> 0:14:17.920
<v Speaker 1>never draft him. You should never draft him in points

0:14:17.960 --> 0:14:23.600
<v Speaker 1>leg ever ever. Oh Justin Upton, hmm, I had him

0:14:23.680 --> 0:14:26.720
<v Speaker 1>last You had that good for you at times great,

0:14:26.840 --> 0:14:31.360
<v Speaker 1>at times bad. That is Justin Upton in a nutshell

0:14:31.440 --> 0:14:36.760
<v Speaker 1>man at times great, at times bad. Really effing bad

0:14:37.680 --> 0:14:40.960
<v Speaker 1>is what it is. He gets so cold in a

0:14:41.040 --> 0:14:44.000
<v Speaker 1>ROTO league. You look at the stat lines, they're always there,

0:14:44.600 --> 0:14:49.160
<v Speaker 1>they're always watching. Where's just enough to go in this car?

0:14:50.440 --> 0:14:54.720
<v Speaker 1>So I have Justin Upton um at as my twenty

0:14:54.840 --> 0:14:57.360
<v Speaker 1>ninth outfielder. And again this is just strictly for Roto.

0:14:57.360 --> 0:14:58.560
<v Speaker 1>I don't want I don't want him in head to

0:14:58.600 --> 0:15:01.280
<v Speaker 1>head points because he's extremely su he strikes out a lot.

0:15:01.680 --> 0:15:03.920
<v Speaker 1>But the bat of ball data is still really good

0:15:04.040 --> 0:15:06.440
<v Speaker 1>for Justin Upton. He's thirty one years old, still hits

0:15:06.480 --> 0:15:09.120
<v Speaker 1>the ball extremely hard, hits the hits a lot of

0:15:09.160 --> 0:15:12.120
<v Speaker 1>line drives. You know, twenty two percent last year was

0:15:12.160 --> 0:15:14.280
<v Speaker 1>the highest of his career, even you know at the

0:15:14.320 --> 0:15:17.760
<v Speaker 1>age that he's at hard hit rate also the highest

0:15:17.800 --> 0:15:19.480
<v Speaker 1>of his career. You can just set your watch to

0:15:19.560 --> 0:15:21.480
<v Speaker 1>thirty plus home runs. He's been thirty plus home runs

0:15:21.480 --> 0:15:23.600
<v Speaker 1>each for the last three seasons. He's been at least

0:15:23.640 --> 0:15:26.520
<v Speaker 1>eighty runs, at least eighty five r V. I's uh,

0:15:26.640 --> 0:15:30.480
<v Speaker 1>he's been at least eight stolen bases and seemingly every

0:15:30.560 --> 0:15:34.080
<v Speaker 1>year of his career. Look at it's two, four, six, eight, ten,

0:15:34.280 --> 0:15:36.160
<v Speaker 1>ten seasons in a row, he's been at least eight

0:15:36.200 --> 0:15:39.240
<v Speaker 1>stolen bases. So canybe eight to ten stolen bases? You know,

0:15:39.320 --> 0:15:41.800
<v Speaker 1>at two fifty to two sixty batting average, dirty home

0:15:41.920 --> 0:15:44.840
<v Speaker 1>runs eighty eight. What I want to know is if

0:15:44.880 --> 0:15:48.160
<v Speaker 1>he's healthy because and you guys have to ask dr

0:15:48.200 --> 0:15:51.200
<v Speaker 1>Ad that tomorrow. But he has like a teller tendonitis,

0:15:51.360 --> 0:15:54.840
<v Speaker 1>which sounds terrible for an outfielder, So I need to

0:15:54.920 --> 0:15:58.200
<v Speaker 1>know more about that. But if if he is healthy

0:15:58.240 --> 0:16:00.360
<v Speaker 1>for opening day and this isn't something that's going to linger,

0:16:00.480 --> 0:16:04.560
<v Speaker 1>than you're getting Hey, set set your watch to whatever.

0:16:04.760 --> 0:16:07.440
<v Speaker 1>With Justin Upton as he is every single year he's

0:16:07.600 --> 0:16:09.800
<v Speaker 1>he's he's just a better player in Rhodo. You just got.

0:16:09.920 --> 0:16:12.040
<v Speaker 1>It just stinks because like you don't know when that cold,

0:16:12.280 --> 0:16:15.080
<v Speaker 1>cold month or whatever it's gonna come and then he'll

0:16:15.120 --> 0:16:17.280
<v Speaker 1>go on a tag. Don't get me wrong. But one

0:16:17.320 --> 0:16:21.480
<v Speaker 1>thing really strange though, seventeen and this four points leagues.

0:16:21.680 --> 0:16:24.480
<v Speaker 1>He had forty four doubles last year at eighteen doubles,

0:16:25.440 --> 0:16:27.960
<v Speaker 1>Like what happened there? Like what did you do? How

0:16:28.000 --> 0:16:32.440
<v Speaker 1>did you go from me? He's not really a big

0:16:32.680 --> 0:16:40.120
<v Speaker 1>double sixteen eighteen, so you know, so you don't expect, Yeah,

0:16:40.240 --> 0:16:44.720
<v Speaker 1>you expect twenty five to thirty, not eighteen. Though I'm

0:16:44.760 --> 0:16:46.480
<v Speaker 1>not probably not going to drift him, but I mean, listen,

0:16:46.880 --> 0:16:50.920
<v Speaker 1>the outfield shallow, like he could be a starting third

0:16:50.960 --> 0:16:54.000
<v Speaker 1>outfielder on a team. You know, like in my points

0:16:54.080 --> 0:16:56.840
<v Speaker 1>league there's no strikeouts negating for strikeouts. He strikes out

0:16:56.880 --> 0:16:59.560
<v Speaker 1>a ton so it really make that change. Probably no,

0:16:59.680 --> 0:17:04.280
<v Speaker 1>because you know what the problem that is everybody everybody

0:17:04.320 --> 0:17:07.400
<v Speaker 1>strikes out of time. Man just enough, by the way,

0:17:07.480 --> 0:17:12.440
<v Speaker 1>same aj JJ Pollo, never guess that. All right, dude, break,

<v Speaker 1>DFS players joined daily rodo dot com. My name is Lily.

0:18:01.359 --> 0:18:04.160
<v Speaker 1>My mom and dad used to fight about money all

0:18:04.240 --> 0:18:07.439
<v Speaker 1>the time. Then one day I heard them talking about

0:18:07.520 --> 0:18:12.120
<v Speaker 1>this guy, some uncle I never knew, called Uncle Sam. Well,

0:18:12.320 --> 0:18:15.240
<v Speaker 1>they say this Uncle Sam guy wanted them to pay

0:18:15.359 --> 0:18:18.680
<v Speaker 1>him like a gazillion dollars and they didn't have a

0:18:18.760 --> 0:18:21.960
<v Speaker 1>gazillion dollars. So they called this company they heard on

0:18:22.040 --> 0:18:25.119
<v Speaker 1>the radio called it's a tax doctor. And the tax

0:18:25.240 --> 0:18:28.919
<v Speaker 1>doctor worked with Uncle Sam's people. I think they're called

0:18:29.359 --> 0:18:32.400
<v Speaker 1>the I R S. And they're able to work it out.

0:18:32.480 --> 0:18:34.560
<v Speaker 1>So my mom and dad didn't have to pay Uncle

0:18:34.680 --> 0:18:38.000
<v Speaker 1>Sam very much money at all. So now mom and

0:18:38.119 --> 0:18:41.880
<v Speaker 1>dad are happy, and I'm happy to thanks tax doctor.

0:18:42.400 --> 0:18:44.639
<v Speaker 1>If you owe ten thousand dollars or more to the

0:18:44.760 --> 0:18:47.920
<v Speaker 1>I R S or State, call now and pay less

0:18:48.480 --> 0:18:52.160
<v Speaker 1>eight hundred to one five one seven to seven eight

0:18:52.240 --> 0:18:56.200
<v Speaker 1>hundred one five one seven to seven. That's eight hundred

0:18:56.520 --> 0:19:02.920
<v Speaker 1>one five seventy seven am time decisions fight that it

0:19:03.000 --> 0:19:04.920
<v Speaker 1>could have been worse. I was a piste off. Like

0:19:04.960 --> 0:19:06.800
<v Speaker 1>they screwed me. They charged me fifty dollars for a

0:19:06.840 --> 0:19:10.119
<v Speaker 1>backbow for carryout. Yeah. Like I'm starting to hate the

0:19:10.119 --> 0:19:12.320
<v Speaker 1>airporter like and I'm not using any more. Like I

0:19:12.359 --> 0:19:14.720
<v Speaker 1>don't mind their candidate. I don't mind like Delta, any

0:19:14.760 --> 0:19:17.920
<v Speaker 1>United and stuff, but Porter there, it's just they used

0:19:17.920 --> 0:19:21.359
<v Speaker 1>to be a good airline. They're just jerks. Now they're slow,

0:19:21.560 --> 0:19:25.719
<v Speaker 1>they're ruled. Everything's always delayed. Week days four pm Eastern

0:20:03.480 --> 0:20:07.080
<v Speaker 1>sounds like it'd be terrible, and it was. And this

0:20:07.200 --> 0:20:09.600
<v Speaker 1>song was on the soundtrack, of course, of that film.

0:20:12.080 --> 0:20:15.040
<v Speaker 1>This is a very popular song, very popular song. Johnny Resnick,

0:20:15.359 --> 0:20:17.960
<v Speaker 1>lead singer of the Google Dolls, who doll is a

0:20:18.000 --> 0:20:21.840
<v Speaker 1>good one? I bought this album called Dizzy Up the Girl.

0:20:22.200 --> 0:20:25.080
<v Speaker 1>I feel like we should just do a whole segment

0:20:25.240 --> 0:20:29.240
<v Speaker 1>in voices like that, how much do you like Victor

0:20:29.320 --> 0:20:34.119
<v Speaker 1>robe Layers? Victor Robless? Is vaa like that? Is that

0:20:34.200 --> 0:20:37.600
<v Speaker 1>you're like counting crows? I think the chad wakes up

0:20:37.720 --> 0:20:40.960
<v Speaker 1>in horning. I think the chap might disappear if we do.

0:20:41.359 --> 0:20:43.119
<v Speaker 1>It's our out your song. Actually, they would hate us

0:20:43.119 --> 0:20:47.479
<v Speaker 1>for sure. You have Victor Roeblass here, Frank, you bring

0:20:47.560 --> 0:20:50.919
<v Speaker 1>up Victor Roeblass, who is going before Michael Conforto as

0:20:50.960 --> 0:20:53.120
<v Speaker 1>of now in the NFB sade pick one oh three.

0:20:53.160 --> 0:20:58.760
<v Speaker 1>Victor Robloss is a long time top prospect, hYP long

0:20:58.840 --> 0:21:02.119
<v Speaker 1>time hype bro hype rospect for the Washington Nationals. The

0:21:02.160 --> 0:21:06.080
<v Speaker 1>problem is he's projected back at ninth yeah, for this

0:21:06.240 --> 0:21:08.800
<v Speaker 1>team after the picture as a second lead off guy,

0:21:09.720 --> 0:21:13.199
<v Speaker 1>and it's annoying for sure. Road Bless, at twenty one

0:21:13.359 --> 0:21:16.800
<v Speaker 1>years old, made his major league debut back in team.

0:21:16.920 --> 0:21:19.280
<v Speaker 1>Played twenty one games in the Big leagues last year,

0:21:19.480 --> 0:21:21.480
<v Speaker 1>three overse three stolen bastions, two the eight, but again

0:21:21.600 --> 0:21:24.360
<v Speaker 1>it was twenty one games. If he's going to play

0:21:24.400 --> 0:21:26.560
<v Speaker 1>every day and give the opportunity to do so, we

0:21:26.720 --> 0:21:30.600
<v Speaker 1>like it. Adding ninth we don't like it. That could change, though,

0:21:30.880 --> 0:21:36.959
<v Speaker 1>anything could change Adam eating steaks, which more likely absolutely,

0:21:38.160 --> 0:21:40.160
<v Speaker 1>how How in how in might he might lead off

0:21:40.160 --> 0:21:42.720
<v Speaker 1>against left handers right away too? How in are you

0:21:43.160 --> 0:21:48.680
<v Speaker 1>Chris Ventra on Victor Lass I'm obviously um to eighty

0:21:48.760 --> 0:21:50.760
<v Speaker 1>eight last year. I really like to see that a

0:21:50.840 --> 0:21:54.680
<v Speaker 1>small samples size, of course, but in this lineup I

0:21:54.760 --> 0:21:57.440
<v Speaker 1>think listen, him and Eloy Jimenez are interesting to me.

0:21:58.000 --> 0:22:01.480
<v Speaker 1>I like Elo more, but Eloy isn't probably going to

0:22:01.640 --> 0:22:05.960
<v Speaker 1>play till later in April, right, he's probably not gonna

0:22:05.960 --> 0:22:08.480
<v Speaker 1>get called up till then, so probably, you know, you

0:22:08.520 --> 0:22:11.240
<v Speaker 1>gotta fill in for him the first month or so,

0:22:11.400 --> 0:22:14.159
<v Speaker 1>so that kind of bothers me. But and Robot is

0:22:14.200 --> 0:22:17.200
<v Speaker 1>gonna play right away. I like Eloy better as a player,

0:22:18.400 --> 0:22:20.840
<v Speaker 1>but I don't like the lineup that Eloy will be in.

0:22:21.080 --> 0:22:23.520
<v Speaker 1>I like this lineup better. If Robots could work his

0:22:23.600 --> 0:22:27.400
<v Speaker 1>way into into betting leadoff or something like that, then

0:22:27.480 --> 0:22:29.399
<v Speaker 1>I really like this guy for the counting sets and

0:22:29.400 --> 0:22:30.600
<v Speaker 1>all that, because I think he could be a really

0:22:30.600 --> 0:22:31.879
<v Speaker 1>good player. I just don't know if this is the

0:22:31.960 --> 0:22:35.480
<v Speaker 1>year that you want him. This comes in. This comes

0:22:35.520 --> 0:22:37.280
<v Speaker 1>in from Mark Fine sand By the way, a little

0:22:37.280 --> 0:22:39.320
<v Speaker 1>breaking news for you. The Giants with Bryce Harper and

0:22:39.359 --> 0:22:43.760
<v Speaker 1>Scott Barris yesterday in Vegas. So that's not dead yet either.

0:22:43.840 --> 0:22:46.560
<v Speaker 1>I guess I don't think he's gonna go I don't

0:22:46.560 --> 0:22:49.680
<v Speaker 1>think he's gonna go there. Um, why why would the

0:22:49.720 --> 0:22:51.879
<v Speaker 1>Giants sign him? Yeah? I mean it would just be

0:22:51.960 --> 0:22:55.640
<v Speaker 1>a a brutal, brutal move for that organization because they're

0:22:55.720 --> 0:23:00.400
<v Speaker 1>kind of on the brink of rebuilding, rebuilding, like they're

0:23:00.400 --> 0:23:04.600
<v Speaker 1>an older team on Gloria, Like they're getting closer to

0:23:04.680 --> 0:23:07.560
<v Speaker 1>that area where you gotta try and sell your pieces

0:23:07.640 --> 0:23:09.240
<v Speaker 1>off and kind of tear it down and build it

0:23:09.280 --> 0:23:11.560
<v Speaker 1>back up. Like Madison Bumgardners in a contract the year,

0:23:11.680 --> 0:23:13.960
<v Speaker 1>they probably end up trading him. And it's not just

0:23:14.080 --> 0:23:17.400
<v Speaker 1>me saying this because you know I want well selfishly, Yeah,

0:23:17.400 --> 0:23:19.480
<v Speaker 1>I don't want Bryce Harper there in San Francisco, but

0:23:20.560 --> 0:23:23.160
<v Speaker 1>it just doesn't it doesn't make a lot of sense

0:23:23.200 --> 0:23:25.120
<v Speaker 1>to me. Look, he wants to be on the West coast, Braake,

0:23:25.200 --> 0:23:27.600
<v Speaker 1>I told you that all along, He's gonna end up

0:23:27.600 --> 0:23:30.000
<v Speaker 1>a Dodger. That's what's gonna happen. He's gonna end up

0:23:30.000 --> 0:23:32.480
<v Speaker 1>with a Dodger. To me, it's Dodgers or Phillies. And

0:23:32.560 --> 0:23:34.639
<v Speaker 1>I know that there's been like front office clash with

0:23:34.720 --> 0:23:38.359
<v Speaker 1>the giants between uh who was the GM that they

0:23:38.400 --> 0:23:41.200
<v Speaker 1>brought in ZAIDI Like apparently he doesn't want them, but

0:23:41.280 --> 0:23:43.360
<v Speaker 1>like the ownership does want Bryce Harper, and like they're

0:23:43.400 --> 0:23:45.760
<v Speaker 1>kind of clashing and stuff. It doesn't make a lot

0:23:45.800 --> 0:23:47.600
<v Speaker 1>of sense to me when it comes to Bryce Harper

0:23:48.080 --> 0:23:51.320
<v Speaker 1>in San Francisco. For Victor Roeboliz, you went in the

0:23:51.520 --> 0:23:54.640
<v Speaker 1>sixth round of this current Great Fantasy Baseball invitational draft

0:23:54.680 --> 0:23:56.960
<v Speaker 1>that I'm doing, you went ahead of guys like Marcella's

0:23:56.960 --> 0:23:59.520
<v Speaker 1>doing the Mitch Hanigers. So just to give you a

0:23:59.600 --> 0:24:03.480
<v Speaker 1>looking side, what the experts, the industry folks are thinking

0:24:03.520 --> 0:24:06.760
<v Speaker 1>about Victor roblists is they're very excited, and I think

0:24:06.920 --> 0:24:08.800
<v Speaker 1>for a good reason. Right, you look at his sprint

0:24:08.840 --> 0:24:11.600
<v Speaker 1>speed last year, he was a ninety five percentile. He

0:24:11.720 --> 0:24:14.960
<v Speaker 1>is a very very fast guy. Uh. He has seasons

0:24:15.119 --> 0:24:18.359
<v Speaker 1>of seven and thirty seven stolen bases down in the

0:24:18.400 --> 0:24:20.800
<v Speaker 1>minor leagues. He's a career three hundred hitter in the

0:24:20.840 --> 0:24:23.880
<v Speaker 1>minors with as He's got a little bit of pop

0:24:23.960 --> 0:24:26.159
<v Speaker 1>and he's kind of gonna grow into that. And I

0:24:26.280 --> 0:24:28.640
<v Speaker 1>was listening to a podcast with Ian conn actually our

0:24:28.840 --> 0:24:31.680
<v Speaker 1>our buddy, our friend of the program, where he compared

0:24:31.800 --> 0:24:35.520
<v Speaker 1>Victor robots to Starling Marte in the future. He might

0:24:35.600 --> 0:24:37.639
<v Speaker 1>he's probably he's not gonna be there that year, obviously,

0:24:37.720 --> 0:24:40.000
<v Speaker 1>because then you'd expect him to do what a third

0:24:40.119 --> 0:24:42.399
<v Speaker 1>or fourth Ron caliber player is doing and Starling Marte,

0:24:42.560 --> 0:24:45.320
<v Speaker 1>but Starling Marte light. And you know, look at his

0:24:45.400 --> 0:24:49.080
<v Speaker 1>fan grass projections. They have him at to seventy five

0:24:50.080 --> 0:24:53.840
<v Speaker 1>around fifteen home runs, around from thirty stolen bases with

0:24:54.280 --> 0:24:56.560
<v Speaker 1>you know the county stats at you know, six d

0:24:56.720 --> 0:24:59.439
<v Speaker 1>R B I s and over seventy runs scored. That's

0:24:59.480 --> 0:25:03.479
<v Speaker 1>Starling mar Daylight. Mm hm, you know. So he's he's

0:25:03.520 --> 0:25:05.960
<v Speaker 1>gonna give you, you know, those those twelve, He's gonna

0:25:05.960 --> 0:25:07.640
<v Speaker 1>give you close to thirty stolen basis if he plays

0:25:07.640 --> 0:25:10.080
<v Speaker 1>every single day. I don't expect Adam Eaton to stay

0:25:10.119 --> 0:25:12.520
<v Speaker 1>healthy for all that long. And I wouldn't be surprised

0:25:12.560 --> 0:25:14.760
<v Speaker 1>if Victor Robis right from the get go against left

0:25:14.800 --> 0:25:18.639
<v Speaker 1>handed pitching, does lead off for this team. Um, I

0:25:18.760 --> 0:25:20.240
<v Speaker 1>think there is a lot to like about him, So

0:25:21.400 --> 0:25:23.880
<v Speaker 1>I'm kind of in I have him. I have him

0:25:23.960 --> 0:25:27.120
<v Speaker 1>rankings as my outfielder of thirty, which is just behind

0:25:27.200 --> 0:25:30.560
<v Speaker 1>Justin Upton, just behind Zuna, just behind Castils and those guys.

0:25:30.880 --> 0:25:33.680
<v Speaker 1>I have them ahead of Joey Gallo, Will Myers, Aaron Hicks.

0:25:33.880 --> 0:25:37.200
<v Speaker 1>So he's kind of part of this tire where I

0:25:37.240 --> 0:25:40.160
<v Speaker 1>wouldn't really mind him as one of my outfield three. Again,

0:25:40.840 --> 0:25:42.359
<v Speaker 1>those other guys that we talked about earlier on the

0:25:42.400 --> 0:25:44.000
<v Speaker 1>show the first hour, I'd rather have one of those

0:25:44.040 --> 0:25:47.399
<v Speaker 1>guys my outfielder three. But he's he's kind of in

0:25:47.480 --> 0:25:50.080
<v Speaker 1>this range where if you take if you take a

0:25:50.119 --> 0:25:52.119
<v Speaker 1>power hitter early on like a judge, and then you

0:25:52.200 --> 0:25:54.119
<v Speaker 1>take someone who kind of a little bit of everything,

0:25:54.280 --> 0:25:57.320
<v Speaker 1>like a like a doll or a plague, you come around.

0:25:57.600 --> 0:25:59.760
<v Speaker 1>I think it makes a lot of sense roster construction.

0:25:59.800 --> 0:26:01.920
<v Speaker 1>Why as where doesn't hurt your batting average, gives you

0:26:01.920 --> 0:26:07.480
<v Speaker 1>a little bit of pop, gives you speed. Yea, let's

0:26:07.840 --> 0:26:10.520
<v Speaker 1>let's with other speed guy. Then Frank, shall we where

0:26:10.520 --> 0:26:13.760
<v Speaker 1>do you having compared to Alex Smith? I have Malex

0:26:13.840 --> 0:26:19.080
<v Speaker 1>Smith at thirty eight. You were considering drafting Malex Smith

0:26:19.359 --> 0:26:24.439
<v Speaker 1>in your Great Fantasy Baseball Invitational and ultimately wound up

0:26:24.480 --> 0:26:29.280
<v Speaker 1>going in a different direction. Okay, I'm worried about the injury.

0:26:29.400 --> 0:26:31.040
<v Speaker 1>Right now, we don't really have a lot of news

0:26:31.080 --> 0:26:33.320
<v Speaker 1>with Malex Smith. He's dealing with an elbow injury. He's

0:26:33.359 --> 0:26:36.920
<v Speaker 1>been edited list now, he hasn't uh, he hasn't I believe,

0:26:37.000 --> 0:26:39.800
<v Speaker 1>hasn't swung a bat yet in spring. So he's dealing

0:26:39.880 --> 0:26:42.800
<v Speaker 1>with this injury. But look, there is a lot to

0:26:42.920 --> 0:26:45.800
<v Speaker 1>like about Malex Smith. Again, you know, expected to lead

0:26:45.840 --> 0:26:47.800
<v Speaker 1>off for the Seattle Mariners, whether it Tim or d

0:26:47.920 --> 0:26:50.879
<v Speaker 1>Gordon or you know, I do think he's gonna be

0:26:50.880 --> 0:26:52.400
<v Speaker 1>at the top of this line up. His sprint speed

0:26:52.440 --> 0:26:57.000
<v Speaker 1>in percentile from last year, one of the fastest players

0:26:57.119 --> 0:26:59.719
<v Speaker 1>in all of baseball, and we were kind of let

0:26:59.840 --> 0:27:01.760
<v Speaker 1>in to what his upside can be last season to

0:27:02.960 --> 0:27:07.200
<v Speaker 1>or he's stolen bases, um, you know, sixty five runs

0:27:07.240 --> 0:27:09.119
<v Speaker 1>scored and that was in a hundred and forty one

0:27:09.200 --> 0:27:12.879
<v Speaker 1>games where you know he wasn't even necessarily the starter

0:27:13.040 --> 0:27:14.240
<v Speaker 1>in a lot of those games. I feel like he

0:27:14.280 --> 0:27:17.160
<v Speaker 1>didn't really come along, come along until in the second half.

0:27:17.240 --> 0:27:20.439
<v Speaker 1>But he's a three category contributor. He's gonna definitely hurt

0:27:20.480 --> 0:27:22.000
<v Speaker 1>your your in home runs, you can definitely hurt you

0:27:22.040 --> 0:27:25.399
<v Speaker 1>in r W eyes. But he can be like d Gordon,

0:27:25.560 --> 0:27:28.639
<v Speaker 1>like I see a lot of similarities there. And you know,

0:27:28.720 --> 0:27:31.000
<v Speaker 1>being a left handed bat, he didn't struggle against lefties

0:27:31.040 --> 0:27:33.520
<v Speaker 1>last year either. He actually took a huge step forward

0:27:33.600 --> 0:27:36.359
<v Speaker 1>against left handed pitching. So I don't worry about that.

0:27:37.000 --> 0:27:39.320
<v Speaker 1>Did he give you a two eight plus batting average

0:27:39.760 --> 0:27:42.560
<v Speaker 1>and he gets on base, he can he can come

0:27:42.600 --> 0:27:44.960
<v Speaker 1>close to fifty stolen basis, Greg But again, this is

0:27:45.040 --> 0:27:46.960
<v Speaker 1>a this is a roster construction thing. You have to

0:27:47.040 --> 0:27:50.080
<v Speaker 1>make sure that you're good everywhere else in the power departments.

0:27:50.800 --> 0:27:53.639
<v Speaker 1>But you know again at that point in the draft,

0:27:54.800 --> 0:27:57.240
<v Speaker 1>round nine, round ten, Yeah, he helps your average too,

0:27:57.600 --> 0:28:01.600
<v Speaker 1>so he gives you again, he gives you average still

0:28:01.680 --> 0:28:05.040
<v Speaker 1>bases and run scored. He's you know, that's good. That's

0:28:05.040 --> 0:28:07.560
<v Speaker 1>what we said about Lorenzo Kane, who's going in the

0:28:07.600 --> 0:28:10.160
<v Speaker 1>fourth round except Lorenzo Caine's gonna give you a little

0:28:10.200 --> 0:28:12.520
<v Speaker 1>more popped than Malex Smith. But at this point in

0:28:12.560 --> 0:28:16.920
<v Speaker 1>the draft, to get a batting average, speed and run

0:28:17.000 --> 0:28:19.359
<v Speaker 1>scored kind of guy, and there is a lot to like.

0:28:19.560 --> 0:28:22.000
<v Speaker 1>But I dropped him down a little bit personally, just

0:28:22.040 --> 0:28:25.160
<v Speaker 1>because I don't really know what's going on his elbow injury. Right, yeah,

0:28:25.240 --> 0:28:29.399
<v Speaker 1>it gives me some news on that. UM. As a

0:28:29.680 --> 0:28:33.000
<v Speaker 1>shout out to Michelle S. Harper right there. Uh, Malex

0:28:33.040 --> 0:28:36.880
<v Speaker 1>Smith is expected to be cleared to resume throwing next week.

0:28:37.320 --> 0:28:39.680
<v Speaker 1>This was February. I did it again. I really had

0:28:39.720 --> 0:28:42.040
<v Speaker 1>at that time. Actually, um, and it's possible he could

0:28:42.040 --> 0:28:44.440
<v Speaker 1>begin swinging the bat even before that. It's good news

0:28:44.520 --> 0:28:47.640
<v Speaker 1>for Smith, so could be throwing next week. I know

0:28:47.720 --> 0:28:51.280
<v Speaker 1>that's worse. I'm listening for me. I'm the opposite. I

0:28:51.320 --> 0:28:53.720
<v Speaker 1>could understand roto. He does a lot of things that

0:28:53.760 --> 0:28:55.960
<v Speaker 1>you want to fill out and roster construction. But in

0:28:56.480 --> 0:29:01.200
<v Speaker 1>points leagues, he's not He's not that good at him

0:29:01.200 --> 0:29:03.000
<v Speaker 1>for a while last year, to be honest with you,

0:29:03.440 --> 0:29:06.440
<v Speaker 1>and I don't think he's He's fine. The thing is,

0:29:06.480 --> 0:29:10.040
<v Speaker 1>he's held around eight and a half percent of walk

0:29:10.040 --> 0:29:12.560
<v Speaker 1>grade for his career. So Smith, you always wanted it

0:29:12.560 --> 0:29:14.360
<v Speaker 1>to be like at least last year I owned him.

0:29:14.440 --> 0:29:16.560
<v Speaker 1>Chris always just wanted to do a little more. He's

0:29:16.560 --> 0:29:21.200
<v Speaker 1>amaze he stole forty bags, but you're like, I felt

0:29:21.200 --> 0:29:22.760
<v Speaker 1>like he always wanted a little bit more, Like he

0:29:22.840 --> 0:29:25.720
<v Speaker 1>stole what he bigs and he only foty five Fantasy points.

0:29:27.400 --> 0:29:29.240
<v Speaker 1>Stole forty bags last year. Greg, it was him and

0:29:29.280 --> 0:29:32.560
<v Speaker 1>with Mary Field. It's not easy and fine man, no man,

0:29:32.640 --> 0:29:34.680
<v Speaker 1>it's not in Rhodo. That's why I'm saying he's valuable

0:29:34.720 --> 0:29:36.840
<v Speaker 1>on Rhodo points. It doesn't matter. We did this yesterday,

0:29:36.880 --> 0:29:38.920
<v Speaker 1>we did this exercise with something else. But I mean,

0:29:39.040 --> 0:29:41.600
<v Speaker 1>name on your hand, how many guys who can legitimately

0:29:41.680 --> 0:29:45.920
<v Speaker 1>steal forty plus bags this year? Only five guys Harry Field,

0:29:46.680 --> 0:29:54.120
<v Speaker 1>Billie Hamilton's Dee Gordon, Alex Smith, monest Starley Marte might

0:29:54.160 --> 0:29:56.960
<v Speaker 1>be Yeah, Marte, maybe he could if he plays a

0:29:57.000 --> 0:30:02.200
<v Speaker 1>full season. By Mookie can to go forty forty. But

0:30:02.360 --> 0:30:04.240
<v Speaker 1>realistically there's really only five guys I can do this.

0:30:04.400 --> 0:30:07.240
<v Speaker 1>Malex Smith is one of them. Kind of liked Gordon

0:30:07.320 --> 0:30:10.200
<v Speaker 1>light and he's going later than de Gordon. Where is

0:30:10.240 --> 0:30:13.160
<v Speaker 1>de Gordon going compared to Malex Smith. Gordon's going Gordon's

0:30:13.160 --> 0:30:16.920
<v Speaker 1>going one ten and Malex Smith is going it picks

0:30:16.960 --> 0:30:19.960
<v Speaker 1>earlier round. Well, then maybe it was just my draft.

0:30:20.400 --> 0:30:22.360
<v Speaker 1>It seems that way. I just don't like him in

0:30:22.440 --> 0:30:24.280
<v Speaker 1>points leagues. I'm not going to drift him as a

0:30:24.320 --> 0:30:26.040
<v Speaker 1>starter in points leagues. Did you have de Gordon as

0:30:26.040 --> 0:30:28.960
<v Speaker 1>a starter in points leaves at second base? Not in

0:30:29.000 --> 0:30:32.959
<v Speaker 1>the outfield, but at second base. Maybe that's a low one,

0:30:33.280 --> 0:30:35.280
<v Speaker 1>right that like speed, guys just don't do They don't

0:30:35.320 --> 0:30:37.280
<v Speaker 1>do it. If you don't have the power and stuff,

0:30:37.360 --> 0:30:39.040
<v Speaker 1>you don't you know, he don't do everything anything else

0:30:39.080 --> 0:30:42.160
<v Speaker 1>really Besides Gordon Waite in the sixth round of my

0:30:42.360 --> 0:30:48.920
<v Speaker 1>draft and Malex Smith went in round eight, we almost

0:30:48.960 --> 0:30:52.920
<v Speaker 1>two full rounds later. Should the discrepancy be that farg

0:30:53.680 --> 0:30:55.280
<v Speaker 1>what do you think? That's just a product of Malex

0:30:55.320 --> 0:30:57.520
<v Speaker 1>Smith not being in spring training right now, dealing with

0:30:57.560 --> 0:31:01.000
<v Speaker 1>the injury. A lot of question marks there. Mm hmm,

0:31:02.280 --> 0:31:04.720
<v Speaker 1>what more younger, I don't want to boot put that

0:31:04.800 --> 0:31:06.200
<v Speaker 1>maybe not one more. But the next guy I want

0:31:06.240 --> 0:31:09.360
<v Speaker 1>to kind of put in this crew potentially is Elo Himnez.

0:31:09.640 --> 0:31:11.400
<v Speaker 1>I don't want to say him Andez, you know him

0:31:11.440 --> 0:31:15.600
<v Speaker 1>and Nez, him and Thenez Eli Him Andz. Yeah, I mean,

0:31:15.720 --> 0:31:18.160
<v Speaker 1>young guys. Don't do that again. Preventral will take you

0:31:18.200 --> 0:31:25.560
<v Speaker 1>out back. Eloimenez not as Harold is as Lad, but

0:31:25.640 --> 0:31:28.880
<v Speaker 1>should be up close soon as after top prospect for

0:31:29.080 --> 0:31:32.440
<v Speaker 1>Chicago long time coming obviously went over to the White

0:31:32.520 --> 0:31:37.880
<v Speaker 1>Sox in the Jose King Thana deal like that. Actually,

0:31:38.360 --> 0:31:43.680
<v Speaker 1>thank you, thank you, venture. We're gonna get some get

0:31:43.680 --> 0:31:46.640
<v Speaker 1>some calls. What point do you take? What do you take?

0:31:46.760 --> 0:31:51.120
<v Speaker 1>Eli Himanez Frank I think uh, I think in that

0:31:51.400 --> 0:31:53.840
<v Speaker 1>eighth round range again. I think he's in this tear

0:31:54.040 --> 0:31:57.000
<v Speaker 1>right after the those guys that we spoke about in

0:31:57.280 --> 0:31:58.880
<v Speaker 1>the first hour, there are those guys are more of

0:31:58.920 --> 0:32:02.240
<v Speaker 1>the fifth six, maybe seventh round. I think a lot

0:32:02.280 --> 0:32:04.920
<v Speaker 1>of the players that we've talked about now are eighth

0:32:05.040 --> 0:32:08.280
<v Speaker 1>rounder later in the eight to ten round range and

0:32:08.600 --> 0:32:12.600
<v Speaker 1>Elohimenez similar to Vladimir Guarro Jr. And I've made this

0:32:12.680 --> 0:32:16.320
<v Speaker 1>case on Twitter for him drink is if Vladimir Guerrero

0:32:16.440 --> 0:32:19.320
<v Speaker 1>weren't around this year, Eloi Himenez would be going two

0:32:19.440 --> 0:32:22.000
<v Speaker 1>or three rounds earlier than he is. Right so, because

0:32:22.320 --> 0:32:24.560
<v Speaker 1>because vlad is kind of taken away all the prospect

0:32:24.640 --> 0:32:27.320
<v Speaker 1>type and everyone wants all the time vladimc Guarro in

0:32:27.360 --> 0:32:30.280
<v Speaker 1>the third round, fourth round, I gotta take vladimcgarreoh junior.

0:32:30.440 --> 0:32:33.680
<v Speaker 1>Everyone's kind of forgetting about Eloi Himenez and he's a

0:32:33.680 --> 0:32:37.680
<v Speaker 1>player that you're getting four rounds later. Should the discrepancy

0:32:37.760 --> 0:32:40.440
<v Speaker 1>be that far between those two? I know, like Vladim

0:32:40.480 --> 0:32:44.440
<v Speaker 1>Mcgarreol's can't miss, like you know, the next generational prospect.

0:32:44.520 --> 0:32:49.680
<v Speaker 1>But look at Ego's numbers. I mean he's really good too.

0:32:49.800 --> 0:32:52.640
<v Speaker 1>He's powers three eleven career hitter in the minor leagues

0:32:52.720 --> 0:32:55.760
<v Speaker 1>within eight seventy eight ops. It's twenty two home runs

0:32:55.840 --> 0:32:58.800
<v Speaker 1>last year and only a hundred and eight games last year.

0:32:58.840 --> 0:33:01.320
<v Speaker 1>We were talking about top pross fixing baseball. The comp

0:33:01.400 --> 0:33:04.920
<v Speaker 1>that I gave him was Nelson Cruz. I think that

0:33:05.200 --> 0:33:07.640
<v Speaker 1>Elo Jimenez. Once he hits his prime, is gonna be

0:33:07.680 --> 0:33:10.000
<v Speaker 1>a two eight plus hitter with thirty five home runs?

0:33:10.160 --> 0:33:13.000
<v Speaker 1>Does he get this there? This year's the question because

0:33:13.200 --> 0:33:16.320
<v Speaker 1>you know he's gonna be down a few weeks in Chicago,

0:33:16.400 --> 0:33:18.240
<v Speaker 1>but it's it's a pretty good ballpark to hit in

0:33:18.560 --> 0:33:21.280
<v Speaker 1>with the White Sox there, and you know, again he's

0:33:21.280 --> 0:33:23.680
<v Speaker 1>gonna learn from a guy like Jose Brave, which I

0:33:23.760 --> 0:33:25.320
<v Speaker 1>think makes a lot of sense. Right, You're gonna have

0:33:25.360 --> 0:33:27.840
<v Speaker 1>that vetter in presence in the lineup. If I'm just

0:33:27.920 --> 0:33:31.040
<v Speaker 1>projecting for this year, he gives you no speed whatsoever,

0:33:31.480 --> 0:33:33.000
<v Speaker 1>but nothing. I think he could be a two eight

0:33:33.200 --> 0:33:36.360
<v Speaker 1>hitter with twenty five plus home runs with with solid

0:33:36.480 --> 0:33:37.800
<v Speaker 1>r b I s as well in the White Sox

0:33:38.240 --> 0:33:40.200
<v Speaker 1>a per game basis, that'll be pretty It just good.

0:33:40.280 --> 0:33:41.520
<v Speaker 1>It just comes down to what you need at that

0:33:41.560 --> 0:33:43.479
<v Speaker 1>point in the draft. If you need batting average, home

0:33:43.560 --> 0:33:45.920
<v Speaker 1>runs in RBIs, I think Elo him and is gonna

0:33:45.920 --> 0:33:48.120
<v Speaker 1>be a pretty good bat. Would you take him ahead

0:33:48.120 --> 0:33:52.960
<v Speaker 1>of Malex Smith, Victor rob I like Victor Roblats his

0:33:53.000 --> 0:33:55.360
<v Speaker 1>power speed combination a little bit more, and the fact

0:33:55.360 --> 0:33:56.959
<v Speaker 1>that he's already been in the Major league. He got

0:33:56.960 --> 0:33:58.400
<v Speaker 1>a little bit of a taste last year, and he's

0:33:58.400 --> 0:34:00.440
<v Speaker 1>going to start. I like roblasts a little bit more. Yeah,

0:34:00.600 --> 0:34:02.960
<v Speaker 1>but Eloy I have I have just a few spots

0:34:02.960 --> 0:34:04.480
<v Speaker 1>beyond him. I have Rode last at thirty. I have

0:34:04.560 --> 0:34:08.440
<v Speaker 1>Eloy at thirty four. So they're they're just for reference.

0:34:08.480 --> 0:34:10.680
<v Speaker 1>Where's like Brantley and Pollock we talked about earlier? Brightly

0:34:10.719 --> 0:34:14.200
<v Speaker 1>it's thirty five. Have the one spot behind at thirty six.

0:34:14.840 --> 0:34:18.320
<v Speaker 1>Oh so interesting. So Rode Blas and Jimenez are before

0:34:18.360 --> 0:34:21.160
<v Speaker 1>these guys. Interesting. Okay, two spots ahead of Eloy. I

0:34:21.280 --> 0:34:26.960
<v Speaker 1>have ear knows um leg Calf, whatever you can think of,

0:34:27.040 --> 0:34:31.200
<v Speaker 1>Will myersond and I have Aaron Hicks thirty third. That

0:34:31.280 --> 0:34:33.120
<v Speaker 1>was awesome. We did that. Let's get an Aron Hicks.

0:34:33.160 --> 0:34:34.480
<v Speaker 1>Perfect time to do that before we hit the break

0:34:34.520 --> 0:34:37.200
<v Speaker 1>one last player. Aaron Hicks size the seventy seven years,

0:34:37.200 --> 0:34:40.600
<v Speaker 1>seventy million dollar extension. And I keep saying, then O B.

0:34:40.719 --> 0:34:43.239
<v Speaker 1>P Leaves in particular. I like Aaron Hicks. Man. You

0:34:43.320 --> 0:34:45.759
<v Speaker 1>look at this dude and he does everything that theoretically

0:34:45.800 --> 0:34:49.520
<v Speaker 1>you would. I let's just say with average, the average

0:34:49.520 --> 0:34:51.279
<v Speaker 1>isn't good. The everage two forty eight was two forty

0:34:51.280 --> 0:34:53.360
<v Speaker 1>eight last year's a career two thirties six center the

0:34:53.440 --> 0:34:55.040
<v Speaker 1>O b P. I think he's better than the two

0:34:55.080 --> 0:34:58.640
<v Speaker 1>forty the O b pe s six year before that

0:34:58.680 --> 0:35:01.200
<v Speaker 1>with the US three sevent too. He's always been high

0:35:01.239 --> 0:35:02.879
<v Speaker 1>on base guy, and he says that's what he does.

0:35:03.120 --> 0:35:05.759
<v Speaker 1>What makes him so good is that he always tries

0:35:05.800 --> 0:35:07.719
<v Speaker 1>to limit the strikeouts and walk a lot. He walked

0:35:07.760 --> 0:35:10.399
<v Speaker 1>fifteen and a half percent of the time last year

0:35:11.520 --> 0:35:14.440
<v Speaker 1>while striking out under twenty percent of the time. Twenty

0:35:14.480 --> 0:35:17.680
<v Speaker 1>seven mombs stole eleven basses. He's got that consistently steals

0:35:17.719 --> 0:35:20.400
<v Speaker 1>you around ten bases when giving an opportunity. Uh ninety

0:35:20.480 --> 0:35:23.640
<v Speaker 1>runs scored, seventy nine r v I. Hicks is going

0:35:23.680 --> 0:35:25.800
<v Speaker 1>to hit probably near the top of the Yankees. A

0:35:25.800 --> 0:35:28.520
<v Speaker 1>lot of him leave right now. He's projected to lead off. UM,

0:35:28.680 --> 0:35:31.640
<v Speaker 1>he could flip flop I with Glaberry in the middle

0:35:31.680 --> 0:35:33.680
<v Speaker 1>at some point, but he's gonna hit in the middle

0:35:33.760 --> 0:35:35.640
<v Speaker 1>to the top of the Yankees lone of a Yankee stadium.

0:35:35.680 --> 0:35:37.759
<v Speaker 1>That's very good. He's a switch hitter. He's going to

0:35:37.840 --> 0:35:40.320
<v Speaker 1>be there in there every day as their center fielder.

0:35:40.920 --> 0:35:43.440
<v Speaker 1>You you should want Aaron Hicks I really really like

0:35:43.560 --> 0:35:47.560
<v Speaker 1>Aaron Higgs a lot that he was an average Fantasy

0:35:47.600 --> 0:35:52.040
<v Speaker 1>points per game. He was number thirteen outfielder. He's great.

0:35:52.239 --> 0:35:55.719
<v Speaker 1>Love That's why I was three point seven. He's really

0:35:55.760 --> 0:36:00.400
<v Speaker 1>good because past two years, fourteen percent or higher put

0:36:00.440 --> 0:36:02.759
<v Speaker 1>down the strikeouts of the you know, since earlier on

0:36:02.800 --> 0:36:05.640
<v Speaker 1>in his career he's below there's below league average in

0:36:05.760 --> 0:36:09.160
<v Speaker 1>terms of he's gonna give you, you know, tennis twelve steals.

0:36:09.480 --> 0:36:11.560
<v Speaker 1>And if this is a big if, because last year

0:36:11.600 --> 0:36:13.399
<v Speaker 1>he played a career high a hundred and thirty seven games.

0:36:13.480 --> 0:36:16.279
<v Speaker 1>If he stays healthy leading off of the Yankees Greg,

0:36:16.920 --> 0:36:19.759
<v Speaker 1>he has the upside to score a hundred and ten runs.

0:36:20.600 --> 0:36:23.600
<v Speaker 1>Legitimately runs last year and a hundred and thirty seven

0:36:23.640 --> 0:36:26.120
<v Speaker 1>games he plays a hundred and fifty, he's gonna score

0:36:26.160 --> 0:36:29.479
<v Speaker 1>a hundred plus runs, So he does have that upside. Again,

0:36:30.120 --> 0:36:32.120
<v Speaker 1>the battle ball data is great. Hits a lot of

0:36:32.160 --> 0:36:34.319
<v Speaker 1>line drives. I mean, he really came into it els

0:36:34.320 --> 0:36:37.279
<v Speaker 1>on last year thirty nine percent hard hit rate stat

0:36:37.360 --> 0:36:40.600
<v Speaker 1>has had his expected batting average at two sixty. Last

0:36:40.640 --> 0:36:42.120
<v Speaker 1>season he was at to forty eight. He was a

0:36:42.120 --> 0:36:43.879
<v Speaker 1>little bit unlucky. I think he's more of a two

0:36:43.960 --> 0:36:48.080
<v Speaker 1>sixty two sixty five hitter who can between twenty and

0:36:48.160 --> 0:36:50.040
<v Speaker 1>thirty home runs, and if he stays healthy, he could

0:36:50.120 --> 0:36:52.640
<v Speaker 1>legitimately hit thirty home runs least he plays a hundred

0:36:52.640 --> 0:36:56.240
<v Speaker 1>and fifty games. That's sixty thirty home runs, a hundred

0:36:56.320 --> 0:36:58.200
<v Speaker 1>runs scored, and ten to twelve stolen basis. If he

0:36:58.239 --> 0:37:01.439
<v Speaker 1>could have more than square, I mean Aaron Judge, Cal Stanton,

0:37:01.440 --> 0:37:04.680
<v Speaker 1>Gary Sanchez behind him. That's ridiculous. That's why I don't

0:37:04.680 --> 0:37:06.840
<v Speaker 1>think he should be drifted as a third outfielder. I

0:37:06.880 --> 0:37:08.799
<v Speaker 1>think he should drifted as more of a utility guy.

0:37:08.840 --> 0:37:11.360
<v Speaker 1>I would be very happy as like my fourth outfield

0:37:11.400 --> 0:37:14.080
<v Speaker 1>slash utility guy in my line up, my fantasy lineup.

0:37:18.440 --> 0:37:21.640
<v Speaker 1>ELI is an interesting I'll take Aaron Hicks. I'll take

0:37:21.680 --> 0:37:24.920
<v Speaker 1>Aaron Hicks. Take a break. We'll hit the bottom of

0:41:06.680 --> 0:41:09.320
<v Speaker 1>where he ends up. Giants certainly sound like their drafting

0:41:09.320 --> 0:41:14.160
<v Speaker 1>your quarterback in the first round. Absolutely fuller. I mean,

<v Speaker 1>Staffel get out his baseball rankings right now over at

0:42:08.560 --> 0:42:11.560
<v Speaker 1>his Patreon. Guys, a couple of outfielders left to get

0:42:11.640 --> 0:42:14.440
<v Speaker 1>in to round out I should say, the top forty

0:42:14.520 --> 0:42:17.839
<v Speaker 1>outfielders on the board, and a guy that I've gone

0:42:17.880 --> 0:42:21.320
<v Speaker 1>back and forth with this trap season. He's David Peralta

0:42:21.600 --> 0:42:23.759
<v Speaker 1>of Arizona, who if you look at some of the

0:42:24.200 --> 0:42:28.359
<v Speaker 1>batted ball profile, it's just pretty good. There's a lots

0:42:28.400 --> 0:42:31.120
<v Speaker 1>of like on David Peralta, and you're like, Okay, I'm

0:42:31.120 --> 0:42:32.840
<v Speaker 1>gonna be in on this guy. You see that the

0:42:32.880 --> 0:42:35.279
<v Speaker 1>hard hit percentage was forty eight point six and I

0:42:35.480 --> 0:42:39.560
<v Speaker 1>like that. It was like the second half ridiculous. You

0:42:39.680 --> 0:42:42.360
<v Speaker 1>like that even better. What you don't like is that

0:42:42.400 --> 0:42:47.279
<v Speaker 1>the groundball percentage is over fifty percent for David Parralta. Well,

0:42:47.320 --> 0:42:52.279
<v Speaker 1>you like three bombs last year, two three batting average, Yeah,

0:42:52.280 --> 0:42:54.480
<v Speaker 1>the babbit was less than it was the year before,

0:42:55.040 --> 0:42:57.880
<v Speaker 1>three back to back years. You like that. What you

0:42:58.080 --> 0:43:03.919
<v Speaker 1>don't like is the split against lefties where he isn't

0:43:04.000 --> 0:43:08.520
<v Speaker 1>so great, adding to thirty seven against them last season.

0:43:09.520 --> 0:43:11.960
<v Speaker 1>David Parralt does a name where I don't know if

0:43:11.960 --> 0:43:13.840
<v Speaker 1>he's a hype guy frank or is a He's a

0:43:13.840 --> 0:43:16.560
<v Speaker 1>guy that people kind of feels a little bit sneaky on.

0:43:17.080 --> 0:43:18.759
<v Speaker 1>What do you think about David parla He's not a

0:43:18.840 --> 0:43:20.759
<v Speaker 1>hype guy. I'm a little torn on He's not a

0:43:20.840 --> 0:43:22.719
<v Speaker 1>hiph guy. There's a feeling in the industry that like him.

0:43:22.719 --> 0:43:24.560
<v Speaker 1>I know Al melki Or isn't on him. There was

0:43:24.560 --> 0:43:27.040
<v Speaker 1>a pretty cool piece on The Athletic which talked about

0:43:27.440 --> 0:43:30.040
<v Speaker 1>him consciously trying to raise his launch angle and lift

0:43:30.040 --> 0:43:31.960
<v Speaker 1>the ball a little bit more. As you could see

0:43:32.040 --> 0:43:35.600
<v Speaker 1>in his battleball profile from eighteen, he lowered his groundball

0:43:35.719 --> 0:43:38.560
<v Speaker 1>rate by five percent, started hitting more line drives, started

0:43:38.600 --> 0:43:41.239
<v Speaker 1>hitting more flyballs, and if he trends even more in

0:43:41.320 --> 0:43:43.640
<v Speaker 1>that direction and continues to square up the ball and

0:43:43.760 --> 0:43:46.440
<v Speaker 1>hit it as hard as he does, then you know,

0:43:46.520 --> 0:43:50.160
<v Speaker 1>maybe his upside is higher than thirty home runs. And look,

0:43:50.360 --> 0:43:53.000
<v Speaker 1>the home run the flyball ratio was a career outlier.

0:43:53.040 --> 0:43:55.800
<v Speaker 1>It was very high last season. But if you continue

0:43:55.840 --> 0:43:59.040
<v Speaker 1>to uh to improve the launch angle and hit the

0:43:59.080 --> 0:44:01.440
<v Speaker 1>ball hard, even if the home run the fly ball

0:44:01.520 --> 0:44:04.200
<v Speaker 1>ratio comes down a little bit, those things can mitigate, mitigate,

0:44:04.239 --> 0:44:05.839
<v Speaker 1>and he could still kind of be in twenty five

0:44:05.920 --> 0:44:07.680
<v Speaker 1>to thirty home run range. We know that he's a

0:44:07.719 --> 0:44:11.120
<v Speaker 1>good cure hitter in terms of batting average career to hitter.

0:44:11.520 --> 0:44:13.919
<v Speaker 1>I want to see him get better against lefties, for sure,

0:44:14.040 --> 0:44:15.800
<v Speaker 1>but you know, at this point in his career he

0:44:15.840 --> 0:44:19.520
<v Speaker 1>has appearances. He hasn't been good against lefties ever, I

0:44:19.560 --> 0:44:22.040
<v Speaker 1>don't know if it's ever gonna come. He's an elite,

0:44:22.200 --> 0:44:24.759
<v Speaker 1>elite hitter against right handed bats. I'm talking about like

0:44:24.880 --> 0:44:27.840
<v Speaker 1>one of the you know, ten fifteen nest hitters in

0:44:27.880 --> 0:44:32.080
<v Speaker 1>baseball against right handed pitchers. But this is kind of

0:44:32.120 --> 0:44:34.040
<v Speaker 1>who he is at this point. But you know, again,

0:44:34.080 --> 0:44:37.600
<v Speaker 1>so I don't think the power is is going up.

0:44:37.719 --> 0:44:40.880
<v Speaker 1>It's going down if anything. Yeah, look he's probably closer

0:44:40.880 --> 0:44:44.000
<v Speaker 1>to home run guy. But from where he's going in drafts,

0:44:44.120 --> 0:44:47.160
<v Speaker 1>even if he gives you his career batting average, which

0:44:47.200 --> 0:44:49.880
<v Speaker 1>is around to ninety and he's twenty five home runs

0:44:50.560 --> 0:44:55.360
<v Speaker 1>with you know, eighty plus RBIs and plus runs, but

0:44:55.480 --> 0:45:00.000
<v Speaker 1>where he's going in drafts, it's pretty good value. He could.

0:45:00.000 --> 0:45:01.400
<v Speaker 1>It turned out to be a pretty good value. You

0:45:01.440 --> 0:45:03.200
<v Speaker 1>don't want to drift him as a as one of

0:45:03.280 --> 0:45:05.960
<v Speaker 1>your first three out. I don't want him as one

0:45:05.960 --> 0:45:08.200
<v Speaker 1>of my first That's what it comes down to. I mean,

0:45:08.239 --> 0:45:10.840
<v Speaker 1>he's kind of like a fallback option. The ones that

0:45:10.880 --> 0:45:12.160
<v Speaker 1>are the ones that we're gonna be talking about this

0:45:12.200 --> 0:45:14.640
<v Speaker 1>segment are like fallback options totally if you miss out,

0:45:14.719 --> 0:45:16.200
<v Speaker 1>and you know, maybe I should have told myself that

0:45:16.760 --> 0:45:18.840
<v Speaker 1>because I missed out with the fallback options, well you

0:45:18.880 --> 0:45:21.439
<v Speaker 1>missed out. You missed out on David Peralta. And then

0:45:21.440 --> 0:45:22.759
<v Speaker 1>that you just told us during the break that you

0:45:22.880 --> 0:45:25.239
<v Speaker 1>might may have to consider is Ian Desmond and you

0:45:25.320 --> 0:45:28.160
<v Speaker 1>got the Colorado Rocky Course Field factor. When it comes

0:45:28.200 --> 0:45:30.160
<v Speaker 1>to Ian Desmond, Desmond was a guy that I think

0:45:30.239 --> 0:45:33.919
<v Speaker 1>we were You and I were on him last year, right, Frank, Yes,

0:45:34.600 --> 0:45:36.400
<v Speaker 1>I didn't really getting him at a discount because of

0:45:36.440 --> 0:45:38.279
<v Speaker 1>what he did in seventeen, his first year at the Rock.

0:45:38.480 --> 0:45:41.040
<v Speaker 1>So theoretically we could say it didn't work out last year.

0:45:41.120 --> 0:45:42.920
<v Speaker 1>He's bad at two thirty six. But yet you look

0:45:42.960 --> 0:45:45.760
<v Speaker 1>at just the line and as a Rodo player, Whey

0:45:45.800 --> 0:45:49.160
<v Speaker 1>Homer's steals ad runs scored eight eight r v I

0:45:49.719 --> 0:45:54.239
<v Speaker 1>that's a really good line. And by to look at

0:45:54.280 --> 0:45:57.600
<v Speaker 1>that bad to seventy nine, his batty was to seventy nine.

0:45:57.640 --> 0:46:01.279
<v Speaker 1>He's a career and he plays in course field. He

0:46:01.320 --> 0:46:04.040
<v Speaker 1>plays in courts field. So a two seventy nine bad.

0:46:04.360 --> 0:46:05.480
<v Speaker 1>I don't care that he hits the ball in the

0:46:05.520 --> 0:46:11.000
<v Speaker 1>ground sixty two percent of the time, which is it's

0:46:11.000 --> 0:46:15.759
<v Speaker 1>a little it's a little annoying, but He's always hit

0:46:15.760 --> 0:46:17.040
<v Speaker 1>the ball on the ground a lot. I mean not

0:46:17.239 --> 0:46:19.359
<v Speaker 1>this much. But you know, even if the power comes

0:46:19.400 --> 0:46:21.160
<v Speaker 1>back a little bit, even if he's eighteen home runs

0:46:21.280 --> 0:46:24.600
<v Speaker 1>back to back years of sixty, Grandma, all right, what

0:46:24.640 --> 0:46:26.520
<v Speaker 1>do you believes in Colorado? Right? So the batting average

0:46:26.560 --> 0:46:28.920
<v Speaker 1>is gonna bounce back, and believe he's expected batting average

0:46:28.960 --> 0:46:30.920
<v Speaker 1>was somewhere like to sixty, right, and you look at

0:46:30.960 --> 0:46:34.000
<v Speaker 1>the projections have him right around two sixty. Got to

0:46:34.040 --> 0:46:36.359
<v Speaker 1>be better in course field, like he was unlucky last year.

0:46:36.360 --> 0:46:39.000
<v Speaker 1>The bad bit was bad. The batting average was two

0:46:39.120 --> 0:46:41.759
<v Speaker 1>thirty six. That was a career low for him. I mean,

0:46:41.800 --> 0:46:44.440
<v Speaker 1>that's it's an obvious outlier season for him. And he

0:46:44.520 --> 0:46:46.879
<v Speaker 1>hit the ball harder than ever before last season as well.

0:46:47.080 --> 0:46:51.799
<v Speaker 1>So look, I don't love Ian Desmond, but again you're

0:46:51.800 --> 0:46:53.640
<v Speaker 1>talking about a guy who can come close to being

0:46:53.719 --> 0:46:56.640
<v Speaker 1>a twenty with at eight plus runs and eight plus

0:46:56.760 --> 0:46:59.400
<v Speaker 1>RBI's last year, and he's going where he's going. I

0:46:59.440 --> 0:47:01.560
<v Speaker 1>don't like you. I like more as an outfield four,

0:47:02.840 --> 0:47:05.839
<v Speaker 1>but he's one of these guys where he's gonna at

0:47:05.920 --> 0:47:07.960
<v Speaker 1>least contribute a little bit of steals. He's getting to

0:47:08.040 --> 0:47:11.080
<v Speaker 1>be in guy with solid county stats, and I expect

0:47:11.080 --> 0:47:12.840
<v Speaker 1>the batting average to be better in the in the

0:47:12.920 --> 0:47:16.120
<v Speaker 1>two sixty Chornge, I think it's a fine I think

0:47:16.200 --> 0:47:19.680
<v Speaker 1>he's a fine rotal league player league yet not a

0:47:19.760 --> 0:47:25.160
<v Speaker 1>point too streaky to you know, very streaky too hit

0:47:25.200 --> 0:47:27.120
<v Speaker 1>a miss, like at the end of the year. At

0:47:27.120 --> 0:47:28.399
<v Speaker 1>the end of the year, the numbers will be there.

0:47:28.640 --> 0:47:32.319
<v Speaker 1>It's all. That's all another guy you're considering. Yesterday, at

0:47:32.400 --> 0:47:37.120
<v Speaker 1>least I was enduring because he has some speed, he

0:47:37.239 --> 0:47:39.360
<v Speaker 1>has some ability to hit for average at times. And

0:47:39.400 --> 0:47:42.920
<v Speaker 1>yet when I say that name, venture goes cringe. Why

0:47:42.920 --> 0:47:45.560
<v Speaker 1>don't you like Chris. He's not a points league guy.

0:47:46.560 --> 0:47:48.640
<v Speaker 1>He's just not a point league guy. Dude. He's not

0:47:48.680 --> 0:47:51.160
<v Speaker 1>gonna get it done in points leagus for you so much.

0:47:51.840 --> 0:47:54.480
<v Speaker 1>So much of value is tied into where he's gonna

0:47:54.520 --> 0:47:56.879
<v Speaker 1>hit in the lineup, which nobody knows right now, because

0:47:57.280 --> 0:48:00.160
<v Speaker 1>the other day Ronald Dacunia batted clean up its bring

0:48:00.239 --> 0:48:03.480
<v Speaker 1>training and today he's hitting leadoff, So they're kind of

0:48:03.520 --> 0:48:06.600
<v Speaker 1>trying a Kunia in different spots. But if Kunia does

0:48:06.640 --> 0:48:09.319
<v Speaker 1>bat clean up, then they're they're gonna put n cr

0:48:09.400 --> 0:48:13.040
<v Speaker 1>tap off. Obviously that helps his value tremendously because then

0:48:13.640 --> 0:48:16.239
<v Speaker 1>he's gonna have more opportunities to run. He's gonna score

0:48:16.239 --> 0:48:18.800
<v Speaker 1>a ton of runs in that Braves lineup, hitting ahead

0:48:18.800 --> 0:48:21.200
<v Speaker 1>of Josh Donaldson and Freddie Freeman and Ronald Kunia. So

0:48:22.000 --> 0:48:24.320
<v Speaker 1>his values directly tied into where he's gonna bat. But

0:48:25.800 --> 0:48:28.120
<v Speaker 1>last year, I think, you know, the two sixty five

0:48:28.200 --> 0:48:30.920
<v Speaker 1>batting average is the outlier every other you know, the

0:48:31.000 --> 0:48:33.080
<v Speaker 1>three years before that, he was to nine one or better.

0:48:33.200 --> 0:48:35.319
<v Speaker 1>I think he's a better hitter than Town. I would

0:48:35.320 --> 0:48:37.960
<v Speaker 1>expect a two sixty five and he's I would expect

0:48:38.000 --> 0:48:43.200
<v Speaker 1>the two eighty five batting average, twenty five steals, you

0:48:43.360 --> 0:48:46.239
<v Speaker 1>ran a lot last year. He got, he did, but

0:48:46.400 --> 0:48:49.040
<v Speaker 1>he also he attempted forty two steals last season. That

0:48:49.200 --> 0:48:52.120
<v Speaker 1>was by far his highest. I mean before that, his

0:48:52.200 --> 0:48:56.239
<v Speaker 1>highest was thirty one attempts. He attempted forty two last year.

0:48:56.360 --> 0:48:58.920
<v Speaker 1>So and maybe that was that was under a newer

0:48:59.120 --> 0:49:02.480
<v Speaker 1>ish manager for the Atlanta Brave. So if that's a

0:49:02.760 --> 0:49:05.440
<v Speaker 1>mindset thing where they want n c RT to run

0:49:05.520 --> 0:49:08.560
<v Speaker 1>a lot, that's a good thing. So I think he's

0:49:08.600 --> 0:49:12.040
<v Speaker 1>probably closer to five steals to eight five batting average.

0:49:12.120 --> 0:49:14.800
<v Speaker 1>You know, you're gonna get though here, which that isn't complete?

0:49:14.880 --> 0:49:16.600
<v Speaker 1>Like he gave you at least ten home runs each

0:49:16.600 --> 0:49:19.040
<v Speaker 1>to the past two seasons, would you have? Isn't he

0:49:19.080 --> 0:49:23.520
<v Speaker 1>a lot like male Lorenzo Kane? Now you're looking at

0:49:23.560 --> 0:49:27.560
<v Speaker 1>it right, Lorenzo Kane gave you ten home runs and

0:49:27.600 --> 0:49:30.400
<v Speaker 1>thirty eight Ribbies last year and there give you ten

0:49:30.440 --> 0:49:33.960
<v Speaker 1>home runs at sixty one Ribby's and he scored, He

0:49:34.120 --> 0:49:37.080
<v Speaker 1>scored at least eighty runs three years. Kane walked a

0:49:37.120 --> 0:49:41.960
<v Speaker 1>lot more. Kane walked at a better clip. Yeah, he's

0:49:41.960 --> 0:49:46.399
<v Speaker 1>at and I know I like Lorentzo Kane hits three

0:49:46.520 --> 0:49:50.799
<v Speaker 1>hundred and everyone's I think two years ago. I think

0:49:50.800 --> 0:49:53.120
<v Speaker 1>people are reacting a little bit too in in CRTs

0:49:53.160 --> 0:49:54.960
<v Speaker 1>to sixty five at batting average last year, it's a

0:49:54.960 --> 0:49:58.759
<v Speaker 1>career two eighty nine hitter will go all right, Frank

0:49:58.800 --> 0:50:01.439
<v Speaker 1>I was sold. If you need need, if you need speed,

0:50:01.600 --> 0:50:05.560
<v Speaker 1>solid average and steals and someone who's not gonna completely

0:50:05.719 --> 0:50:07.759
<v Speaker 1>sink you, and he's gonna give you ten home runs

0:50:08.960 --> 0:50:11.320
<v Speaker 1>in the you know, in this range of the draft

0:50:12.080 --> 0:50:15.719
<v Speaker 1>in is whatever. He's he's a pretty good like he's

0:50:15.840 --> 0:50:18.920
<v Speaker 1>learned learns o Kane light but not really that light.

0:50:19.160 --> 0:50:21.480
<v Speaker 1>He's actually a pretty close. Why is Kane going so

0:50:21.680 --> 0:50:27.719
<v Speaker 1>much higher? You tell me Greg, accounting stats kind of

0:50:27.719 --> 0:50:29.400
<v Speaker 1>the same. I think the side might be better than

0:50:29.440 --> 0:50:32.759
<v Speaker 1>the Brewer's lineup. The fact that they you know what

0:50:32.880 --> 0:50:34.960
<v Speaker 1>you're gonna get from Lorenzo Cane. You know that he's

0:50:34.960 --> 0:50:36.640
<v Speaker 1>gonna hit lead off every single game. You don't know

0:50:36.719 --> 0:50:40.600
<v Speaker 1>that about it was a little bit more. I guess what,

0:50:41.880 --> 0:50:44.960
<v Speaker 1>I have them ready, all right, and there's played a

0:50:45.000 --> 0:50:48.040
<v Speaker 1>hundred fifty six games. Lenzo Cane played one. You know,

0:50:48.120 --> 0:50:49.759
<v Speaker 1>Lorenzo can is gonna miss a few games. He had

0:50:49.800 --> 0:50:53.200
<v Speaker 1>forty less of bats total. Cane had ten home runs

0:50:54.000 --> 0:50:57.799
<v Speaker 1>home runs. Kane had ninety runs scored in year seven

0:50:57.880 --> 0:51:00.960
<v Speaker 1>run difference and CRT had sixty one Ibby's he need

0:51:01.040 --> 0:51:06.399
<v Speaker 1>thirty eight thirty steals for Kane, eight for incrte times

0:51:06.480 --> 0:51:09.879
<v Speaker 1>was Kane caught stealing seven? Much better, much better ratio.

0:51:09.920 --> 0:51:13.200
<v Speaker 1>The only attempt at thirty seven. The ratio is great

0:51:14.160 --> 0:51:17.640
<v Speaker 1>attempt at forty two. A lot got caught fourteen times.

0:51:18.400 --> 0:51:21.719
<v Speaker 1>But they kept running them out there. I mean walk

0:51:21.760 --> 0:51:25.279
<v Speaker 1>great Cane at eleven and a half percent in seven

0:51:25.280 --> 0:51:27.279
<v Speaker 1>and a half percent, that's the difference. That's a big

0:51:27.280 --> 0:51:30.520
<v Speaker 1>difference ob P and points leagues. That obviously matters. Cane

0:51:30.520 --> 0:51:33.879
<v Speaker 1>strikes out a little bit, standard Cane strikes a little

0:51:33.880 --> 0:51:37.880
<v Speaker 1>bit more more. Fifteen point two percent in CRT is attent.

0:51:38.000 --> 0:51:39.879
<v Speaker 1>I think we found something here. I think we did too.

0:51:41.440 --> 0:51:46.760
<v Speaker 1>Babbitt for Lorenzo Cane last year, three fifty seven CRT

0:51:46.920 --> 0:51:49.720
<v Speaker 1>to three. Would you rather have NCRT here? Malex Smith

0:51:50.880 --> 0:51:56.560
<v Speaker 1>in Sierta. Malex Smith has the upside of fifty steals too,

0:51:56.600 --> 0:52:00.359
<v Speaker 1>Like I think he comes. He's a better player. It's

0:52:00.360 --> 0:52:03.520
<v Speaker 1>a little bit more of everything. Yeah, he's more balanced,

0:52:03.560 --> 0:52:05.840
<v Speaker 1>just more balanced. Yeah, I have it paral to Malex

0:52:05.880 --> 0:52:12.200
<v Speaker 1>Smith TRT in that order right now. On draft either

0:52:12.239 --> 0:52:15.920
<v Speaker 1>one of those guys, I'll just tell you that they're

0:52:15.920 --> 0:52:18.960
<v Speaker 1>not points le guys. Would you drop there? Would you

0:52:19.080 --> 0:52:23.439
<v Speaker 1>draft David Peralta him I Mike, would you draft him before?

0:52:23.480 --> 0:52:30.200
<v Speaker 1>Would you draft Andrew McCutcheon? Yes? Yes, are badly, we

0:52:30.280 --> 0:52:33.120
<v Speaker 1>are bad? What is happening? You guys are all in

0:52:33.760 --> 0:52:39.480
<v Speaker 1>one of my favorites. Awesome, dude, he's awesome. What pup

0:52:39.880 --> 0:52:43.320
<v Speaker 1>I got it? You're actually gonna get your present? Pasantly

0:52:43.360 --> 0:52:48.480
<v Speaker 1>surprised letn't surprise. Look, the twenty Horme runs looks bad

0:52:48.560 --> 0:52:52.360
<v Speaker 1>last year because he played after in San Francisco. What

0:52:52.480 --> 0:52:56.960
<v Speaker 1>are you three percent hard hit rate? Greig? It's still

0:52:57.080 --> 0:53:00.040
<v Speaker 1>there but for the for the old Stallion here? Do

0:53:00.080 --> 0:53:02.240
<v Speaker 1>you like him? And Philly? He ain't that old? Would

0:53:02.480 --> 0:53:04.440
<v Speaker 1>why wouldn't you like it? Ain't that old? It is?

0:53:04.800 --> 0:53:06.920
<v Speaker 1>It is? Yesterday we were talking about certain players. It's

0:53:06.960 --> 0:53:09.600
<v Speaker 1>the it's the best ballpark that he's gonna play in ever,

0:53:09.920 --> 0:53:12.320
<v Speaker 1>for ever, I mean playing the stadium last year, but

0:53:12.520 --> 0:53:14.319
<v Speaker 1>from the beginning of the scene, for the entire year

0:53:14.320 --> 0:53:16.120
<v Speaker 1>of the season. It's the best ballpark he's ever going

0:53:16.200 --> 0:53:18.200
<v Speaker 1>to play in. And he's pretty good. Phillies line up.

0:53:18.800 --> 0:53:20.480
<v Speaker 1>It would be better if Bryce Harper would go there,

0:53:20.480 --> 0:53:22.160
<v Speaker 1>but now I'm not so sure. But it's still a

0:53:22.200 --> 0:53:28.320
<v Speaker 1>pretty good line up with Real Mutoa and Reese Hoskins.

0:53:28.400 --> 0:53:32.480
<v Speaker 1>The Phillies lineup is good. Are going to be there, man,

0:53:32.680 --> 0:53:36.479
<v Speaker 1>Like I'm back, I'm back, back up last year. Remember

0:53:36.480 --> 0:53:38.799
<v Speaker 1>when everybody gave up him a cutcheon? Was it last year?

0:53:38.920 --> 0:53:43.000
<v Speaker 1>Two or two years ago when he was I'm back.

0:53:44.080 --> 0:53:47.200
<v Speaker 1>He's going so late nobody wants him? Yeah, nobody wants

0:53:47.280 --> 0:53:48.920
<v Speaker 1>him because of that though. That's what I'm saying. He

0:53:49.080 --> 0:53:51.680
<v Speaker 1>disappeared at one point two years going in and then

0:53:54.360 --> 0:53:59.640
<v Speaker 1>he's doing one thirty seven. He's going after right after Jimenez,

0:54:00.000 --> 0:54:03.280
<v Speaker 1>Michael Brandley, Aaron Higgs, David Peralta, and for me, Andrew

0:54:03.320 --> 0:54:06.000
<v Speaker 1>McCutcheon is a guy based on Now here's a guy

0:54:06.480 --> 0:54:09.200
<v Speaker 1>that based on his hard hit rate last year and

0:54:09.480 --> 0:54:11.719
<v Speaker 1>as many line drives as he hits, he should have

0:54:11.760 --> 0:54:13.800
<v Speaker 1>been a better hitter than two fifty five. So I

0:54:13.880 --> 0:54:17.359
<v Speaker 1>think he's closer to a let's see, Yeah, I think

0:54:17.400 --> 0:54:21.640
<v Speaker 1>he's a two seventh stadding average, close to home runs

0:54:21.960 --> 0:54:24.319
<v Speaker 1>in the middle, middle of the Phillies order. He's gonna

0:54:24.440 --> 0:54:29.840
<v Speaker 1>drive in more and as much as he gets on base,

0:54:30.680 --> 0:54:32.600
<v Speaker 1>he's gonna score runs in the Phillies line up, and

0:54:32.800 --> 0:54:34.840
<v Speaker 1>in the stolen basis came back up last year. Not

0:54:34.960 --> 0:54:37.880
<v Speaker 1>to mention he's gonna walk twelve to fifteen stolen bases.

0:54:38.440 --> 0:54:40.920
<v Speaker 1>He might walk a hundred times. He doesn't hurt you anywhere.

0:54:42.040 --> 0:54:46.080
<v Speaker 1>He doesn't hurt you anywhere like that happens. Right if

0:54:46.120 --> 0:54:50.880
<v Speaker 1>he has two seventy with twenty four home runs, eighty

0:54:50.960 --> 0:54:53.440
<v Speaker 1>runs scored, eighty five r b I s and twelve

0:54:53.520 --> 0:55:02.480
<v Speaker 1>stolen bases. He's basically Eddie Rosario and that group. He's

0:55:02.520 --> 0:55:07.080
<v Speaker 1>basically that group in his production. But he's going later,

0:55:07.280 --> 0:55:11.520
<v Speaker 1>much later. Let's see two rounds, three rounds. Eddie Rosario

0:55:12.040 --> 0:55:18.200
<v Speaker 1>and Hanniger are going pick nine is going on seven.

0:55:19.600 --> 0:55:23.400
<v Speaker 1>This is a guy. This is a player that is

0:55:23.480 --> 0:55:26.480
<v Speaker 1>undervalued right now for fantasy purpose. Just honestly, the move

0:55:26.560 --> 0:55:28.520
<v Speaker 1>to Philly is huge, fim. He's gonna score over a

0:55:28.600 --> 0:55:34.080
<v Speaker 1>hundred runs lineup. I mean he he hasn't gotten hurt

0:55:34.760 --> 0:55:37.360
<v Speaker 1>a long time. Really, he plays almost hundred six. Is

0:55:37.400 --> 0:55:39.000
<v Speaker 1>he projected to lead off right now? Is that where

0:55:39.000 --> 0:55:41.400
<v Speaker 1>the leadoff? Alright? So then the RBIs aren't gonna be there.

0:55:41.400 --> 0:55:49.280
<v Speaker 1>He's gonna be like the runs will be with Segura, Real, Muttu,

0:55:49.560 --> 0:55:52.640
<v Speaker 1>Ries Haskins all batting behind him. I think he'll score

0:55:52.640 --> 0:55:55.200
<v Speaker 1>a hundred runs. He'll I mean I lead off. That's

0:55:55.239 --> 0:55:56.880
<v Speaker 1>the thing. He's gonna take a hit in aubis. He's

0:55:56.920 --> 0:55:58.920
<v Speaker 1>gonna walk a hundred times because people are gonna walk

0:55:58.960 --> 0:56:02.640
<v Speaker 1>him because's been lead I mean, I think he's gonna

0:56:02.680 --> 0:56:04.560
<v Speaker 1>get end up getting a lot of walks. You walk

0:56:04.640 --> 0:56:07.440
<v Speaker 1>ninety five times last year. That's that's a lot. That's

0:56:07.480 --> 0:56:10.480
<v Speaker 1>a lot, dude. I mean he does everything well. I

0:56:10.520 --> 0:56:12.960
<v Speaker 1>don't see how people only get fourteen bags also, so

0:56:13.000 --> 0:56:15.920
<v Speaker 1>I'll have ten to fifteen bags. Ninety average eggs of

0:56:15.920 --> 0:56:20.840
<v Speaker 1>Philosophy was a three year best last year renaissance. I

0:56:20.840 --> 0:56:22.680
<v Speaker 1>would take him as a third outfielder even we have

0:56:22.760 --> 0:56:25.359
<v Speaker 1>a minute left, you will not be in tomorrow. Give

0:56:25.400 --> 0:56:28.359
<v Speaker 1>us one more outfield that you're targeting, Austin Meadows. I've

0:56:28.400 --> 0:56:30.440
<v Speaker 1>moved them all the way up. I have him as

0:56:31.040 --> 0:56:34.319
<v Speaker 1>as my outfielder forty one right now. You know, once

0:56:34.360 --> 0:56:38.040
<v Speaker 1>you get past you know it's McCutcheon, David Parlson, Alex Smith,

0:56:38.120 --> 0:56:39.759
<v Speaker 1>n CRT. That's kind of like the cut off for me,

0:56:40.600 --> 0:56:43.960
<v Speaker 1>where those are your fallback outfielder three options. If I

0:56:44.080 --> 0:56:45.840
<v Speaker 1>end up with Alson Meadows as my outfielder four in

0:56:45.880 --> 0:56:49.040
<v Speaker 1>a lot of leagues, I'll be pleasantly surprised, because I

0:56:49.120 --> 0:56:51.560
<v Speaker 1>do think there's upside there. He has the prospect. I'd agree.

0:56:51.760 --> 0:56:54.200
<v Speaker 1>I think you could be between fifteen and twenty home

0:56:54.320 --> 0:56:57.080
<v Speaker 1>runs and stolen bases, not gonna kill your batting average.

0:56:57.280 --> 0:56:59.360
<v Speaker 1>It's actually better against lefties. Last year he makes a

0:56:59.400 --> 0:57:01.640
<v Speaker 1>lot of contact, he doesn't strike out. I think Tam

0:57:01.680 --> 0:57:03.680
<v Speaker 1>Bay is gonna let him play every day. And there's

0:57:03.719 --> 0:57:05.560
<v Speaker 1>a lot to like about all the medals this year.

0:57:05.600 --> 0:57:08.000
<v Speaker 1>I'm in Venture and I will break down the rest

0:57:08.080 --> 0:57:11.080
<v Speaker 1>of the top fifty outfielders tomorrow on the program. We're

0:57:11.120 --> 0:57:13.720
<v Speaker 1>losing combine stuff as well for Chris Venture, Chris Pavona,

0:57:13.760 --> 0:57:15.680
<v Speaker 1>and Frank Staffel. My name is Greg suspeaking so much

0:57:15.680 --> 0:57:17.760
<v Speaker 1>for watching listening to the dfs. It Scott Fantasy that

0:57:17.920 --> 0:57:19.000
<v Speaker 1>was Fantasy is up next.
