Speaker 1: You're listening to the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. Yeah, now
Speaker 1: that's welcome, bab. Your host Friday from Man five died
Speaker 1: from say Francis Frank, stand ball, ladies and tell me
Speaker 1: in your ps and with that we will get you
Speaker 1: inside Studio thirty four. This he's the BFFs year all
Speaker 1: the Fantasy at Sports Network. I am Greg Susman. Frank
Speaker 1: Stamford too hungover from last night's NBA Draft coverage. He
Speaker 1: has the day off, so joining me as he does
Speaker 1: each and every Friday. BFF Mike Floria, what's happening to Florida?
Speaker 1: What's up? Greggy? How was how was your NBA Draft
Speaker 1: coverage last night? And I have to ask it's Frank
Speaker 1: actually too hungover because that would be two drafts that
Speaker 1: he has worked the next day because he was too hungover.
Speaker 1: To be fair, He's not. He was fine going home
Speaker 1: last night. It's King's birthday tomorrow, so he took the
Speaker 1: day off today. They're going to the Yankee game tonight,
Speaker 1: so Yester the day a while back before we even
Speaker 1: knew we were doing the draft coverage. So he's actually
Speaker 1: good to go. Um And I don't know why you're
Speaker 1: asking me. You you should have been watching our draft coverage.
Speaker 1: Not that you know, you just want to support your BFFs.
Speaker 1: It was the BF Draft show. It was pretty good. Well,
Speaker 1: I I will have to go back and check it out.
Speaker 1: I apologize I was watching the actual draft. I was
Speaker 1: pretty excited that Nick Scott the maple Mamba. I mean,
Speaker 1: have you heard of a cooler nickname in sports, because
Speaker 1: I don't think I have. The white Mambo really worked
Speaker 1: for me. It's like James Paxson and Kobe and one
Speaker 1: the big maple Mamba are Jay Barrett. There you go.
Speaker 1: It was good. It was a good job. We had
Speaker 1: a really fun time here at Versa. And you know,
Speaker 1: I'm I'm I'm excited that people watched It seems like
Speaker 1: from the reaction that we've gotten, people have enjoyed it,
Speaker 1: which is really cool. Um, So you know, I'm really
Speaker 1: really happy with how the coverage went and Frank with
Speaker 1: a well deserved day off. It was a good show
Speaker 1: last night. That's awesome, man. And I'm I'm pretty I know,
Speaker 1: like you could see I at the nixt head on
Speaker 1: Gregy you know him a nick time. I'm happy with
Speaker 1: the pick. Yeah, I wanted Zion, but r J. Barrett
Speaker 1: is not a bad consolation price. He's not and I
Speaker 1: felt like it was ultimately wasn't meant to be with
Speaker 1: Zia Williamson. The had a fourteen percent chance of getting him. RJ.
Speaker 1: Barrett works out, and remember he's the number one player
Speaker 1: coming in to college last year. Winds up at number three.
Speaker 1: We'll take that. R J. Barrett very well could be
Speaker 1: the best player in that draft. We hope for Florio.
Speaker 1: It is a waiver wire Friday, and over the last
Speaker 1: couple of weeks, we haven't had major players on the
Speaker 1: waiver wire to talk about right like, there was nobody
Speaker 1: we're spending money on. I have a feeling that's going
Speaker 1: to change this week, specifically with Zach Gallan. You and
Speaker 1: Frankie haven't hyped about this dude for a while. Now
Speaker 1: he gets called up. He makes his first MLB start
Speaker 1: last night against St. Louis, and why it wasn't Jimmy
Speaker 1: Yamamoto stats. He was still pretty good in his five innings.
Speaker 1: A word, do you throw nine and night pitches in
Speaker 1: five innings? But overall pretty good? How desperate should people
Speaker 1: be to go add Jack Gallant all the way over wire?
Speaker 1: I think he's the big fish to pick up this week.
Speaker 1: No pun intended, because he's in Marlin. Last night's outing,
Speaker 1: I know, we wish he would have went a little
Speaker 1: bit deeper into the game, but six k's ten swinging strikes. Uh,
Speaker 1: he sat between like ninety two around ninety two miles
Speaker 1: per hour. It was maxing out a little bit over
Speaker 1: you like to see that, although I will say I've
Speaker 1: been reading in recent days some stuff like there was
Speaker 1: a scout I wish I remembered who tweeted it out,
Speaker 1: but it was a quote from a scout that said,
Speaker 1: up until the start of this year, I was the
Speaker 1: highest guy on Zack Gallen, and I was telling the
Speaker 1: rest of the world they need to catch up to me. Now.
Speaker 1: The rest of the world has surpassed me, he said.
Speaker 1: He was like the hype on Zack Gallen. He thinks
Speaker 1: had even has climbed out of control and is is
Speaker 1: higher than what Allen can live up to. So maybe
Speaker 1: we are doing that. Maybe we are over hyping a
Speaker 1: prospect too much. But he is the big arm right
Speaker 1: now to pick up. There's not This is the arm
Speaker 1: we've been waiting for. I'm not sure you know when
Speaker 1: we're gonna see the forest wit leaves of the world
Speaker 1: and stuff. He is the big prospect to pick up
Speaker 1: right now, and I would be picking him up, especially
Speaker 1: because his spot in the rotation could be safer than
Speaker 1: we had envisioned. A uh, Jose Urena had just been
Speaker 1: placed on the sixty d d L, so he's gonna
Speaker 1: be out awhile it's gonna be coming down to him
Speaker 1: and Jordan Yamamoto for who gets that spot. But if
Speaker 1: you're the Marlins, what do you have to lose by
Speaker 1: not giving Zach Gallen every opportunity the rest of the way?
Speaker 1: Do you know that? For like a week's I've been
Speaker 1: calling Jordan Yallomoto Jimmy Yallomoto because jimm yakobonus my superstar
Speaker 1: pitcher on the Baltimore Orioles. No matter what I do,
Speaker 1: I keep saying Jimmy Yallamoto and every repeatedly, I cannot
Speaker 1: like figure out the difference between Yallmamoona and Yakobonus and
Speaker 1: do it like one's one's terrible in your defense, I
Speaker 1: mean they're like when do you get that names that
Speaker 1: similar that are that like you know, not coming, but
Speaker 1: like the difference is one of them are horrible, one
Speaker 1: of them like aren't good. The reason I like Jimmy
Speaker 1: Yakobonas is I saw him pitch against the Yankees on
Speaker 1: an opening day of the day after and his and
Speaker 1: his um all speech stuff is like moving was like, Wow,
Speaker 1: this guy is good. He's he's not spoiler alert, he's
Speaker 1: he's very very bad. Jordan Yallmomoto not very bad. And
Speaker 1: with Urania and Pablo Lopez out for a significant period
Speaker 1: of time, it looks like Yallomoto and Zach Gallen both
Speaker 1: going to get opportunities I think long term in this rotation.
Speaker 1: And if that's the case, who would you rather have
Speaker 1: Gallant or Yallomoto And how much of their budget that
Speaker 1: you have left are you spending on these guys, I'd
Speaker 1: rather go after Gallen. I think the upside is a
Speaker 1: lot higher. Y'allmomota has been pitching well, but like he
Speaker 1: got the Cardinals the other day, and I don't want
Speaker 1: to and that's who Gallant got to. I don't want
Speaker 1: to discredit that, but the Cardinals have been one of
Speaker 1: the worst offensive teams in June. I just think the
Speaker 1: upside is a little bit higher with Gallen. I think
Speaker 1: if you're trying to trade him, you'll be getting more
Speaker 1: in return for Gallan, So I think I would be
Speaker 1: spending up on him. I wrote before his start yesterday
Speaker 1: that I think I would be aggressive and try to
Speaker 1: spend fifteen if you're in need of pitching, uh in
Speaker 1: a home league, if you're not his desperate for a pitch,
Speaker 1: or maybe ten to fifteen percent. But I don't think
Speaker 1: we should discredit Gallen. You know where just a month
Speaker 1: ago we're telling you to blow it all on these
Speaker 1: other top prospects. He's the top pitching prospect right now.
Speaker 1: And if you are in need of pitching, I think
Speaker 1: you gotta, you know, break out the budget and spend
Speaker 1: whatever you like, a percentage of whatever you got left
Speaker 1: I'm saying fifteen. Yeah, I think when it comes to
Speaker 1: some of these Marlins, guys were just like, oh, he's
Speaker 1: a Marlin, he's never gonna win. But the Marlins in
Speaker 1: our best best forever. I've been pounding them because they're
Speaker 1: They're pitching staff all season long has been better than
Speaker 1: people think. And it's gonna take a while. With this
Speaker 1: Jeter rebuild, I think ultimately will work because pitching is
Speaker 1: there and Zach Gallen certainly seems to be for real.
Speaker 1: Jimmy Yellow Jimmy said, he what's it again? Jordan Yamamoto
Speaker 1: um has had two really good starts. I'm interested in
Speaker 1: what he does Sunday against Philadelphia. But through these first
Speaker 1: couple of starts, the Miami's talent that is getting called up,
Speaker 1: it's been very, very good. Let me read you the
Speaker 1: line from Zack gwen last night, as he would five innings,
Speaker 1: allowed five hits, one run, two walk, six strike, as
Speaker 1: did throw uh those night and nine pitches, but he
Speaker 1: fared well in his debut. The Marlins actually one seven
Speaker 1: to six in extra innings. Is Andrew Miller allows the
Speaker 1: game tying or the game winning to run home run
Speaker 1: to J. T. Riddle in the eleventh the Cardinals and
Speaker 1: everything they could to come back against Sergio Romo was
Speaker 1: not to be, as Romo got his thirteen save this season.
Speaker 1: You mentioned the Cardinals Mikey have been struggling. We talked
Speaker 1: a little bit about that on yesterday's show. Why are
Speaker 1: the Cardinals so bad right now? I wish I could
Speaker 1: tell you, man, they got a ton of talent in
Speaker 1: that lineup. And I have a lot of these guys
Speaker 1: for fantasy. I don't have any Goldie, believe it or not,
Speaker 1: but I have a Zuna in a couple of leaks,
Speaker 1: I have too young, I have some Matt carpent heres.
Speaker 1: So like I would like these guys to get going.
Speaker 1: I think there's too much talent there for them not to.
Speaker 1: But when it comes to like a player like Paul
Speaker 1: gold Smith, like someone the other day asked me if
Speaker 1: they should be buying gold Schmidt or not, and I said,
Speaker 1: in a redraft, yes, because he's still hitting the ball hard,
Speaker 1: he's still lifting the ball. I would expect the home
Speaker 1: runs too to come in bunches, and I think he'll
Speaker 1: be okay. But in like a redraft or I'm sorry,
Speaker 1: in a keeper or a dynasty I'm not. He is
Speaker 1: starting to show the signs of decline. In my opinion,
Speaker 1: the strikeout rate is up, swinging strikeout rate is up.
Speaker 1: I believe the chase rate is up. And to me though,
Speaker 1: and he's not stealing at all. He does not have
Speaker 1: his stolen base this year. So like with with gold Schmidt,
Speaker 1: I think it's a little bit of unlucky plus a
Speaker 1: little bit of declining. With the other guys, I'm not
Speaker 1: as shure. I think, like Paul de Young, was just
Speaker 1: playing over his head those first couple of months, and
Speaker 1: now we're seeing the natural regression. I know think he's
Speaker 1: as good as he was early on. I don't think
Speaker 1: he's as bad as he is now, and I think
Speaker 1: that happened with a lot of these players. But I
Speaker 1: expect much better results out of them, as I think
Speaker 1: everyone does. We talked about Goldie yesterday and whether this
Speaker 1: is like the decline phase for gold Schmidt or ultimately
Speaker 1: he'll turn it around, and Frank seems to be more
Speaker 1: on the side of he'll turn it around, be honest
Speaker 1: with you, kind of looking at some of the stats
Speaker 1: from last year and what he was able to do.
Speaker 1: We'll see the Cardinals don't have a single hitter right now.
Speaker 1: Adding over. The thing about Goldie though, is what always
Speaker 1: like not saying he was a stolen base player, like
Speaker 1: that's why you drafted him, But the thing that always
Speaker 1: differentiated him from those other top first basement and the
Speaker 1: reason why he was always the number one for so
Speaker 1: long was the stolen basis because you don't get any
Speaker 1: out of most first basement. And that went from thirty
Speaker 1: two and sixteen to eighteen and seventeen to seven last
Speaker 1: year to zero so far this year. This is not
Speaker 1: the same Paul Goldschman. I agree with Frank where I
Speaker 1: think he ultimately will turn it around, But I also
Speaker 1: think at what is he? I believe he's thirty. He's
Speaker 1: thirty one years old right now, soon to be thirty two.
Speaker 1: I do think we are starting to see the decline
Speaker 1: of Paul Goldschman. All Right, I've waited about thirteen minutes here.
Speaker 1: Mike Mr Quality Greater signed quantity Rich Hill as a
Speaker 1: strained flexor muscle in his elbow. He's going to miss
Speaker 1: like the next two months in hopes to return this season.
Speaker 1: As Frank would say if he were here, Rich Hill
Speaker 1: gonna Rich Hill, Yeah, and I could say rich Hill
Speaker 1: gonna Rich Hill when he's healthy. Man, do you, Nelly,
Speaker 1: have you seen how great rich Hill has been since
Speaker 1: when he's been pitching, But he's never healthy to First
Speaker 1: of all, this injury is unlike anything we've ever seen
Speaker 1: out of rich Hill the last few years. It's always
Speaker 1: a blister. It's always a two or three weeks shelf thing.
Speaker 1: And I'm perfectly fine living with those. And I've been
Speaker 1: fine living with those for the last few years. I
Speaker 1: always say, he's gonna give me a hundred and thirty innings,
Speaker 1: but I'm getting him outside the top ten rounds. So
Speaker 1: if he gives me a hundred and thirty innings of
Speaker 1: ace like ball and that's what he was doing. I
Speaker 1: know it was only fifty three innings this year, but
Speaker 1: two point five five r RA over ten case per nine.
Speaker 1: I mean, the guy had just been tremendous and using
Speaker 1: this strategy, Greggy, I have shares of the best picture
Speaker 1: on the planet hingin Ryou, who everyone said coming into
Speaker 1: this year couldn't stay healthy. Well, he has stayed healthy
Speaker 1: and he is the n l C A young right now, sure,
Speaker 1: but we're not talking about read at the moment. We're
Speaker 1: talking about. You can't. You can't pinpoint one specific player
Speaker 1: in the strategy is my whole thing? Like Rich Hill
Speaker 1: is like your poster boy dude, Like, oh, we got
Speaker 1: a hundred and thirty innings from Rich Hill. I'm fine quality,
Speaker 1: greater sign quantity. Dude, pitch fifty innings this year and
Speaker 1: he could be done for the year. I don't. I
Speaker 1: read as of yesterday, three to four weeks and then
Speaker 1: he's beginning a throwing program. I hope to be able
Speaker 1: to pitch again this season. Definitely don't have an answer when,
Speaker 1: but I expect to be back great. Greggy. I'm telling me, man,
Speaker 1: I've had Rich Hill. He's going on my DL spot.
Speaker 1: I'm not dropping him. He's oh my god, yeah, I
Speaker 1: have to. I have my I have I L spots
Speaker 1: a lot like so I just lost him and Pablo
Speaker 1: Lopez this week. That's an easy decision as to which
Speaker 1: one I'm gonna keep and which one I'm gonna cut.
Speaker 1: Rich Hill. It's amazing. He probably still own Alice would do,
Speaker 1: don't you. I don't think I do. But he's throwing again, Greggy,
Speaker 1: I own him in my draft and holds because I
Speaker 1: can't drop him there. Would you pick up Alex Wood
Speaker 1: this week? No, he's not. I would wait until he
Speaker 1: gets closer, because who knows he could suffer a setback.
Speaker 1: All right, but let me be serious with rich Hill
Speaker 1: going on the I l a major question that Dodgers
Speaker 1: fans and fantasy fans have a like is who who
Speaker 1: is replacing him in the rotation? And Julio, you asked
Speaker 1: at the start last night was great. Pitched three innings
Speaker 1: and look brilliantly against the San Francisco Giants. I get
Speaker 1: it was the Giants, but he looked really, really good.
Speaker 1: Ross Stripling also came in and he did his thing
Speaker 1: as well last night for the Los Angeles Dodgers. Um
Speaker 1: Stripling loud, three runs, all unearned, pitched a couple of innings.
Speaker 1: They're gonna have to find a way to replace rich
Speaker 1: Hill over the next month or two at least. If
Speaker 1: you're picking up somebody off the waiver wire, Stripling Urias neither.
Speaker 1: What's the plan here? I think if you're in a
Speaker 1: league where if you miss out, I would go with
Speaker 1: Urius first. I think his upside is higher. I think
Speaker 1: the fact that they let him start the game yesterday
Speaker 1: and and while the UH runs to Strippling were unearned.
Speaker 1: Urius did pitch better than Strippling. UH. I think his
Speaker 1: upside is just higher. But I'm telling people I've been
Speaker 1: putting on my Patreon page. I'm gonna talk about on
Speaker 1: my podcast today. If you missed out on Urius, I'm
Speaker 1: taking the shot on Strippling. This has been something I've
Speaker 1: been preaching all year with these Dodgers pictures, UH, mostly
Speaker 1: in draft season because they've surprisingly stayed healthy this year.
Speaker 1: But I kept saying at a hill Reu, my Ada, Strippling, Urius.
Speaker 1: I wasn't sure when exactly they were going to get
Speaker 1: their starts, but I was confident at some point in
Speaker 1: the year each one would be healthy and have a
Speaker 1: turn through the rotation, a little bit of a stay
Speaker 1: in the rotation, because this is just what the Dodges do, Like,
Speaker 1: I would not be surprised if we see a Ryou
Speaker 1: Phantom I L Stints at some point, or Mayata or
Speaker 1: even a Kershaw like. I don't think there's any of
Speaker 1: their pictures that they wouldn't put on the I L.
Speaker 1: And if that's gonna be the case Eurius and Stripling,
Speaker 1: we saw last year when these guys start, they have
Speaker 1: a ton of upside and in the leagues where I
Speaker 1: lost rich Hill, like in one of them the other day, Greggy,
Speaker 1: I just I picked up Curious and if he doesn't
Speaker 1: get the start a bit on stripling and hope that
Speaker 1: he's the one who gets it. But that's my plan.
Speaker 1: Like whever I lost rich Hill, I'm just trying to
Speaker 1: pick up Curious and just keep it moving, keep kicking
Speaker 1: the can down the curb with these arms that I
Speaker 1: can trust to to not hurt my ratios and to
Speaker 1: get me a ton of strikeouts. And on the Dodgers,
Speaker 1: they're also going to be getting a lot of wins.
Speaker 1: It's the reason why I love all the Dodgers pictures
Speaker 1: so much, because they won't give you the quantity of
Speaker 1: innings that that I know you love, Greggy. But when
Speaker 1: they go out there, man, they are always. They're all
Speaker 1: all seven of them are worthy of being in your
Speaker 1: your rotation anytime they take them ount. Yeah, Hulu, you
Speaker 1: definitely somebody that for all the reasons you mentioned, being
Speaker 1: with the Dodgers getting the winds, how he pitches, somebody
Speaker 1: want to pick up three innings forty five pitches last night?
Speaker 1: If we could get up to let's say sixty pitches
Speaker 1: next time out throughout the summer, he could be valuable.
Speaker 1: The Dodgers wanted to limited his innings anyway. Getting him now,
Speaker 1: we get him for a lot of the summer where
Speaker 1: he has the potential to extend himself. It could be good.
Speaker 1: So Curious over stripling, that's correct. I think so, just
Speaker 1: because I think the upside is a little higher. But
Speaker 1: to put it in perspective, I think Curious could be
Speaker 1: like a Chris Paddock type picture, like he's that good,
Speaker 1: but he's just there's the pitch limit, the inning limit
Speaker 1: and everything. It's gonna make it a little bit frustrating
Speaker 1: at times. And hopefully the frustrating period is already over.
Speaker 1: I know the reason I was able to get Curious
Speaker 1: is because the people who drafted him ended up cutting him.
Speaker 1: So this is now the time, I think, where you
Speaker 1: want to get back into Urius and hopefully he can
Speaker 1: give you some Chris Paddock production. And by what I
Speaker 1: mean by that is when they do allow him to pitch,
Speaker 1: he's gonna be very very good for your fantasy team. Alright,
Speaker 1: So Lulo Urius worth the pickup, Go out and get
Speaker 1: him Chris Paddock like upside. Speaking of Chris Paddock, he's
Speaker 1: returning to the Mound this weekend for San Diego. Things
Speaker 1: look good for Paddock. Things looking up Hulu Urius as well.
Speaker 1: We are going to take a break when we come back,
Speaker 1: Michael Florio. We're gonna discuss some of these other guys
Speaker 1: that you don't want to pick up the waiver wire,
Speaker 1: some of the lesser known guys at the higher price prospects.
Speaker 1: We also have to talk about who did drop right.
Speaker 1: You're picking up Curious and you're picking up Zac Gallant,
Speaker 1: You're picking up Jordan's Yamamoto. You gotta drop people. Were
Speaker 1: you most comfortable dropping? We're gonna let you know. This

Speaker 1: Yes they get along, and yes they played together, but
Speaker 1: I think they're both too big for the same court

Speaker 1: Michael Florio on a Florial Friday. Frankly, Mike, it's it's
Speaker 1: in the kind of nice just having it and me
Speaker 1: for once like a throwback. Is it was like what
Speaker 1: frank would always a wave you away, you and I
Speaker 1: would just hang out in mad fun of him back.
Speaker 1: I know it reminds me. I know I mentioned it earlier,
Speaker 1: but it reminds me of the day after the NFL
Speaker 1: Draft that year and we just kind of the two
Speaker 1: of us hung overly, just made fun of frank for
Speaker 1: most of the hour. Yeah, that was a disaster. That
Speaker 1: was a straight up disaster. Um, you know, Frankie doing
Speaker 1: his thing, taking the day off. He'll be back here
Speaker 1: on Monday. Now, Mike, I mentioned before that if you're
Speaker 1: figuring out these guys, you have to be able to
Speaker 1: drop some players. So I want to throw some names
Speaker 1: out at you. This is what people are asking about
Speaker 1: insenter YouTube chat, on Twitter, so on and so forth.
Speaker 1: Let me start out with Clint Fraser of the Yankees,
Speaker 1: Aaron Judge officially being activated today, Cameron Mayban staying in
Speaker 1: the majors, and I spoke to me about spoke to
Speaker 1: Frank about this off the air. And if you read
Speaker 1: a lot of quotes regarding Clint Frasier being sent down
Speaker 1: this past weekend and Karen Mayban winding up staying in
Speaker 1: the majors, now this week, there's no love lost Clint
Speaker 1: Fraser and he sent down. There's no one coming to
Speaker 1: his defense. Nobody's saying he's a great teammate, he helps
Speaker 1: on us. We love him, he'll be back. We can't wait.
Speaker 1: We'll miss him, Cameron. Maybe it's like, oh, Mane the
Speaker 1: stud was born of a pinch stripes. He's the heart
Speaker 1: of our team, he's the soul. And I'm like, they
Speaker 1: hate Cliff Fraser like these he has no friends on
Speaker 1: this team. And when he said, it's been hard for
Speaker 1: me to Josh, it's been hard for me to fit in.
Speaker 1: I think he's a douche. I think that's what it is.
Speaker 1: And there's zero love laws by his teammates, and I wonder,
Speaker 1: not wonder, like the Yankees are going to trade this
Speaker 1: guy at the right opportunity presents itself. But as a
Speaker 1: fantasy owner, do you wait for that to happen? I
Speaker 1: think you try your best, I really do. I mean
Speaker 1: this guy like, I agree with you, Greggy. I don't
Speaker 1: think he deserves to get sent down. It was nothing
Speaker 1: he did. It's just the Yankees are too stacked offensively,
Speaker 1: and I totally understand why he would not be cool
Speaker 1: with that, and and he'd have an issue with that.
Speaker 1: It's costing him money. It's costing him a large portion
Speaker 1: of his career being on the Yankees, because if he
Speaker 1: was on another team, he'd probably be up for a
Speaker 1: couple of years by now already. But I just I
Speaker 1: do feel for him a little bit. But I agree
Speaker 1: with you. Everything about this kid says that he's immature,
Speaker 1: and he kind of does seem like a douche. But
Speaker 1: as for fantasy purposes, he was very effective when he
Speaker 1: was healthy, so I would try my best. The trading
Speaker 1: deadline is just a month away. We know a lot
Speaker 1: of traits happened earlier in July than that, so I
Speaker 1: would try my best to hold onto him because I
Speaker 1: do think the Yankees he's going to be a big
Speaker 1: piece in the trade for his starting pitcher, and whenever
Speaker 1: he gets traded, I think he will play right away
Speaker 1: like he has nothing left to prove in the minor leagues. Yeah.
Speaker 1: He hit a moonshot last night in trivle A also
Speaker 1: hit a long double as well. He showed up finally
Speaker 1: he did. He wounded up showing up. Yes, So the
Speaker 1: Fraser can hit. That's not the issue. It's personality, um,
Speaker 1: and it's his fielding. The worst fielder in the majors
Speaker 1: this year. They're playing a lot in center field as
Speaker 1: a way to showcase him. We'll see what happens. You're
Speaker 1: holding on a Clint Fraser if possible. I'm trying my best, Yeah,
Speaker 1: because the upside we know is is and especially since
Speaker 1: I don't know if you agree, Greggy, I feel like
Speaker 1: this is more of a starting pitcher waiver wire week,
Speaker 1: and typically I don't wanna I mean, I get it.
Speaker 1: If you need the pitching, you sometimes have to drop
Speaker 1: a hitter. But there's no hitter right now. I think
Speaker 1: on the waiver wire that has higher upside than Clint
Speaker 1: Frasier as I look at the waiver wire. So the
Speaker 1: other names I wrote down here, Chris Taylor, who's gonna
Speaker 1: be play? Who's playing for Corey Seeger, Brendan Rodgers go
Speaker 1: to play? Given Trevor's story being out for the next
Speaker 1: month or so, um Ray Solaire owned about leagues? Any
Speaker 1: of those names interesting or Solaire is under criminally under owned.
Speaker 1: I feel like I think people are too quick to
Speaker 1: write this guy off as a bust. He he was
Speaker 1: once a former top prospect. Then he's matching the ball,
Speaker 1: hitting for power at the very least this year, so
Speaker 1: I think he is very under own. Brendan Rodgers is interesting, man,
Speaker 1: because I want Brendan Rodgers to be a thing. If
Speaker 1: you remember, I was very high on him. I believe
Speaker 1: in his skill set, I believe in that corpse lineup,
Speaker 1: and obviously I want to exposure to course field. But
Speaker 1: at the same time, like they're so inconsistent with how
Speaker 1: they use a young players. I understand that now it's
Speaker 1: a shortstop. It's different. Ryan McMahon can't play short and
Speaker 1: Garrett Hampson hasn't done anything this year to win back time.
Speaker 1: So I expect Brendan Rodgers to get a lot of opportunity,
Speaker 1: and I would be wanting to pick him up. But
Speaker 1: that's a close one him and Clint Fraser, I think
Speaker 1: right now. Actually though, I lean Rodgers because he should
Speaker 1: get the opportunity for the next month or so, Brendan
Speaker 1: Rodgers is going to have a chance here to be
Speaker 1: successful with the Rockies playing in Colorado. Daniel Murphy, David Donald,
Speaker 1: do you guys have turned it around after early season struggles?
Speaker 1: Whether Rogers struggle in his first taste of the Major
Speaker 1: but didn't necessarily get the playing time consistently prove what
Speaker 1: he could do. If he was dropping your league's I
Speaker 1: would rather have him than Clint Frasier. Maybe it's because
Speaker 1: he's in the majors, but yeah, I would okay with that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm okay with that. Okay, other players that I gotta
Speaker 1: ask you about dropping Hunter Pence has been fantastic this year,
Speaker 1: and I know he says leave that quickly from the IL,
Speaker 1: but as a guy that's pretty old in his leap thirties.
Speaker 1: I don't know that you can trust that. Are you
Speaker 1: holding on a Hunter Pens are dropping him? I think
Speaker 1: you could drop him. Willie Calhoun is back and still
Speaker 1: playing well. Remember when Calhoun came up, we thought Pence
Speaker 1: would be the one that would lose out on playing time,
Speaker 1: and and I kept waiting for the other shoe to
Speaker 1: fall with Pence. Maybe I was doing it wrong, but
Speaker 1: I mean, like you said, this guy is very old.
Speaker 1: He had never played like this. He hasn't been good
Speaker 1: in years. I love the career resurgence for him going
Speaker 1: to Texas, but ultimately, this is a team still competing
Speaker 1: right now. But I still think they're gonna try to
Speaker 1: get Willy Calhoun in there as much as possible, and
Speaker 1: I think it will come at the expense of Hunter Pence. Alright,
Speaker 1: So Willie Calhoun Joey Yallow both going to play for Texas. Ultimately,
Speaker 1: that means Hunter Pence could wind up being the odd
Speaker 1: band out for the Rangers. Floria says, you can drop
Speaker 1: him if necessary. Here you talk about wanting you to
Speaker 1: drop pictures for pictures, Yamamoto gallon the two top pictures
Speaker 1: out there also Abert as Alai. I want to throw
Speaker 1: that out there before we continue. What should fantasy owners
Speaker 1: know about him? So last night he did pitch well.
Speaker 1: Granted it was against the Mets, and I mean anyone
Speaker 1: could probably pitch well against the Mets right now. But
Speaker 1: he went four plus innings, started to get into a
Speaker 1: little bit of trouble when he They tried to stretch
Speaker 1: him to let him go the ninth yesterday, but he
Speaker 1: only left one run. He had five k's but only
Speaker 1: six swinging strikes. That don't love that. And I don't
Speaker 1: know if maybe I'm reading into this a little too much.
Speaker 1: This worried me a little bit. He was sitting at
Speaker 1: ninety four point six miles per hour and maxed out
Speaker 1: at ninety five point nine. And I remember, I think
Speaker 1: it was last year, maybe the year before. You know,
Speaker 1: Sarah's did like a study on pictures who throw close
Speaker 1: to their max velocity and how it usually leads to
Speaker 1: them getting injured. More So, maybe I'm just reading into
Speaker 1: that a little bit too much, But that worried me.
Speaker 1: It's tad. I am excited about advert but to put
Speaker 1: him into perspective with these other young pictures, I would
Speaker 1: have Gallan one, I'd have Logan Allen ahead of him.
Speaker 1: I'd also have Julio Erias ahead of him. We haven't
Speaker 1: mentioned Logan Alan yet. And it's worth mentioning the hashtag
Speaker 1: one that dollar bet Logan Allan, John Cena making that
Speaker 1: bet and Logan Allen pitched well in his MLB debut
Speaker 1: for San Diego. Did not have a good season thus
Speaker 1: far in the PCL, but Alan came up pitched very
Speaker 1: well in his first start. He's number two for you
Speaker 1: after Zach Gallen. Hell come, I just think Zach Gallan's
Speaker 1: upside what we've seen him through throughout the minor leagues.
Speaker 1: I I think there's more upside there than with a
Speaker 1: Logan Alan. And but great story with Alan. What you
Speaker 1: said with the John Cena bed, I mean that was
Speaker 1: that was awesome to see Sena there watching him pitch,
Speaker 1: and Alan pitch very well. And I picked him up
Speaker 1: in a home league for four bucks out of a hundred.
Speaker 1: Also picked up Urius for three bucks out of a
Speaker 1: hundred there, so that puts it into perspective. I did
Speaker 1: have a backup bid on I'm gonna I'm gonna butcher
Speaker 1: his name probably, but I'll call him advert because also
Speaker 1: is a little a little bit of a tongue tie.
Speaker 1: But I had a two dollar bid in on him
Speaker 1: as a backup to those other guys to put it
Speaker 1: into perspective. All right, So that's kind of the idea.
Speaker 1: But Florio, you said that when you're picking up pictures,
Speaker 1: you ideally want to drop pictures. Potentially the top picture
Speaker 1: that I've gotten asked about dropping here this week was
Speaker 1: that strong, and that's drom him off the I L
Speaker 1: wasn't a good spun. Colorado Uh predictively didn't go well.
Speaker 1: What do you think about dropping match strom Uh? For
Speaker 1: for Gallen or Curious or Logan Allen, I'm okay doing it,
Speaker 1: but I think after that I would hold match strom Uh.
Speaker 1: He he's a solid picture, like I. I get it.
Speaker 1: It was Colorado in Milwaukee that really did blow up
Speaker 1: his last two outings, But in between the before getting
Speaker 1: hurt and before and in between that first really terrible
Speaker 1: start he made, he was pitching well for a significant
Speaker 1: stretch of the season. So for any of those other
Speaker 1: guys who I think I've higher upside, I'm okay with it.
Speaker 1: But other than that, I'm probably sitting tight and holding
Speaker 1: Match drom alright, match Drom a solid, spectacular member of
Speaker 1: your fantasy rotation, so consider keeping strong obviously if you can.
Speaker 1: I mentioned last week I dropped Chris Archer. That felt great.
Speaker 1: I don't regret that. So if you still own him,
Speaker 1: you're the same cool. Yeah, I'm I wrote a couple
Speaker 1: of weeks ago, like, yeah, I'm cutting it with Chris
Speaker 1: Archer feels like it feels awesome. I didn't have him anywhere, luckily,
Speaker 1: but this was the first year in a few years
Speaker 1: where I was on board taking a shot on him.
Speaker 1: But the only thing was greggy. I was getting, you know,
Speaker 1: my my quality arms over him, like guys like Rich
Speaker 1: Hill prevented me from getting a Chris Archer. Yeah, so
Speaker 1: Chris Archer belongs on the waiver wire, But who does
Speaker 1: he belong there with. Let me give you a couple
Speaker 1: of other pictures that we liked a lot this season,
Speaker 1: and we have gone back and forth on that's the
Speaker 1: bull Specier turn Ball. We'll start there with Detroit. We
Speaker 1: still own him in a league, Mike, Uh, is it
Speaker 1: time to take about it? The ball? Uh? To me,
Speaker 1: this is a very format dependent picture, like I mean,
Speaker 1: league size dependent picture, like us we own him in
Speaker 1: a fifteen team league, and I think that's worth noting.
Speaker 1: But in like a twelve team league, I I understand
Speaker 1: if you want to drop him. He hasn't been pitching
Speaker 1: great as of late, and I believe it is the
Speaker 1: Cleveland in and that he always struggles against, which is
Speaker 1: a little bit strange. But I would still be trying
Speaker 1: to hold onto the bowl if you can. I mean,
Speaker 1: his ear raight right now is three to seven, which
Speaker 1: is significantly like that's almost that's over a full run
Speaker 1: below league average. Last I looked, and the expit at
Speaker 1: four point five three. That's not great, but that's just
Speaker 1: a little bit a bubble average. As of the other day,
Speaker 1: league average was four point four one, So he's a
Speaker 1: league average picture giving you eight case per nine, and
Speaker 1: right now the results have been better. So I think, yeah,
Speaker 1: like Zach Gallen is out there and Turnbull is your
Speaker 1: most jobable picture. I'm okay taking the upside shot on Gallen.
Speaker 1: But you know, other than like hammer Urea is these
Speaker 1: top high upside arms, he's a lot like strong, like
Speaker 1: I'm gonna hold turn Bull would really have that strong
Speaker 1: special Turnbull Spencer Turnbull. Okay, next name on my list.
Speaker 1: Martin Perege, who was really really good at the joining
Speaker 1: Minnesota's rotation early in April. He hasn't been good. He's
Speaker 1: last few starts, though, has the magic run out from
Speaker 1: Team Perez. I'm afraid of that, but I still don't
Speaker 1: want to drop him. I own him in a draft
Speaker 1: in whole league, so I don't have this problem. That's
Speaker 1: the only league I have him in. Unfortunately, I dropped
Speaker 1: him those first two weeks. If you remember the Twins
Speaker 1: went four man rotation, I had to drop him in
Speaker 1: those leagues. I'm still kicking myself a little bit. He's
Speaker 1: been good, man. He's been a lot like Spencer turnable
Speaker 1: in the sense of almost a strikeout per inning, but
Speaker 1: not quite there yet. Uh. The ear a is a
Speaker 1: little over four and the xpit is four point three two.
Speaker 1: I know in a normal year those marks might not
Speaker 1: look good, but I think we need to reevaluate the
Speaker 1: way we look at pictures. Like Mark Martine Perez right
Speaker 1: now is pitching as a little bit above average league pictures,
Speaker 1: So I do think there is a spot for him
Speaker 1: in in fantasy. More of a deeper league guy if
Speaker 1: you're in a ten team league. Yeah, he shouldn't be
Speaker 1: owned twelve team he's very fringey, but like fourteen fifteen
Speaker 1: team leagues, I think that is the sweet spot. That's
Speaker 1: where he's useful. So here's my issue in Martine Perez.
Speaker 1: I know you read the stats, but when five in
Speaker 1: a loud to is over six hits, okay, fine after that.
Speaker 1: So all of June and two and two thirds six
Speaker 1: runs allowed, four and two thirds five runs allowed. June eleven,
Speaker 1: five innings, four runs allowed. Last week against Kansas City
Speaker 1: six and two thirds five runs allowed. That's a really
Speaker 1: bad month. And Martine Perez, to me, isn't it good
Speaker 1: enough picture that you suffer through this terrible nous to
Speaker 1: see what comes down on the other side. That's just
Speaker 1: me though. Yeah. No, if this recent stretch has turned
Speaker 1: you off, like again, I'm okay dropping him for Gallon
Speaker 1: for yours and Logan Allen as well. Like I think
Speaker 1: those guys have higher upside. I think they're pitching better
Speaker 1: right now, so I'm okay with doing that. But it's
Speaker 1: when we get to the fringe of your arms after
Speaker 1: like these higher upside young pictures where there's a lot
Speaker 1: of guys who you're probably been recycled on multiple teams
Speaker 1: this year. At that point in time, after seeing as
Speaker 1: a whole what we've seen from Martine Perez this year,
Speaker 1: I'd probably be more inclined to hold him. Holding on
Speaker 1: to Martine Perez rightly gets some of the hitters that
Speaker 1: I thought would be worth driving. And name a couple
Speaker 1: in Clint Fraser and Hunter Pence. Here. Uh, there's two
Speaker 1: more that I have on my lesson. I'll go out
Speaker 1: to you, Mike Gregory Polanco. I know Florida Frank has
Speaker 1: been vehemently against dropping him because he remember woul happened
Speaker 1: last year where he dropped him and he went on
Speaker 1: the second half tear. How do you feel about dropping
Speaker 1: him now? Gregory Polanco is this guy that I feel
Speaker 1: like every year we have this discussion he can be
Speaker 1: dropped or not, like literally every year. And right now
Speaker 1: I'm looking at what he's doing, Like the k rate
Speaker 1: is up, the walks aren't great at seven point two.
Speaker 1: There's just there's not a whole lot to love with
Speaker 1: Polanco and what he's doing right now. And the hard
Speaker 1: hit rate thirty eight point five on fan Graphs, it's
Speaker 1: not bad. That's about league average fly ball rate. Is
Speaker 1: up a little bit. It's down from last year, but
Speaker 1: still a little bit higher than league average, so you'd
Speaker 1: like to see that. But Gregory Polanco is one of
Speaker 1: these fringy roster guys. To me, if you are holding him,
Speaker 1: I think the reason is what Frank said, because of
Speaker 1: what we've seen from him in the past. But there's
Speaker 1: really nothing he has done this year that warrants you
Speaker 1: giving him a longer leash. Okay, so accordin to you, Florio,
Speaker 1: Gregory polancod you go man, a very very fringy rostery guy,
Speaker 1: like you don't have to hold him. I don't think. Okay,
Speaker 1: fair enough, you don't have to hold Gregory Polanco. What
Speaker 1: about some of it was hot, very very hot about
Speaker 1: a month ago. And that's Derek Dietrich. What do you
Speaker 1: think about him? I would not want to drop Derek
Speaker 1: scot Is coming back, but I'm a sucker for Derrek Dietrich.
Speaker 1: I bought in earlier this year and it's been a
Speaker 1: fun ride. But my thing is, like you look at
Speaker 1: the Red's lineup right, and like a guy like Jose
Speaker 1: Peraza is giving them nothing, absolutely nothing this year. So
Speaker 1: we've seen Dietrich play some first some second, some corner
Speaker 1: out field. I have a feeling when Scooter Jannette comes back,
Speaker 1: he's going to become a super utility man. I'm hoping
Speaker 1: they get creative. Maybe try to throw like Nick Senzel
Speaker 1: or Suarez, guys who have a little bit of a
Speaker 1: background playing shortstop. Maybe throw them at shortstop and just
Speaker 1: say forget about defense. We're just gonna try and outmash opponents.
Speaker 1: And it's something thing that more and more teams in
Speaker 1: the MLB are doing like today. I don't know if
Speaker 1: you've seen the Mets line up yet, Greggy, it's probably
Speaker 1: the worst defensive outfield in baseball. It's Dominic Smith and left,
Speaker 1: Michael CONFORDO and center, and Jeff mcneillen right. But it's
Speaker 1: their three best offensive bats right now. And they're doing that.
Speaker 1: And the Dodgers are talking about having Jack Peterson played
Speaker 1: first base, something he has never done in his professional
Speaker 1: career in the minors or in the majors. But if
Speaker 1: they do that, it allows them to put Munthsy at
Speaker 1: second and keep verdo Go in the lineup when Pollock returns.
Speaker 1: So more and more teams are are doing this where
Speaker 1: they're playing people out of position just to get their
Speaker 1: best bats in the lineup, and I'm I'm hoping the
Speaker 1: Reds do that, and if they don't, I also think
Speaker 1: Derek Dietrich is a prime trade candidate, and if they
Speaker 1: trade him, I think there's a good chance he goes
Speaker 1: to a team when he gets to play every day.
Speaker 1: All Right, A couple of deep league players I wanted
Speaker 1: to ask you about here, Um Florio, and that is
Speaker 1: two old veterans that don't exactly especially excitement. These are
Speaker 1: frank type of guys, Mike Leak and Tommy Malone and interested. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I talked about them on my podcast last week. They're
Speaker 1: more deeper league options. Tommy Malone has been pitching well,
Speaker 1: but Tommy Malone is who we think he is. A
Speaker 1: Tommy Malone, Yeah, yeah, Like Tommy Malone is capable of
Speaker 1: going on stretches where you think Tommy Malone is like
Speaker 1: he once upon a time had hype and you think like, oh,
Speaker 1: maybe he could finally be a post hype sleeper living
Speaker 1: up to it, and then Tommy Malone reminds the world
Speaker 1: of who he is. The same thing with Mike Leak.
Speaker 1: I think these are hot stretches. I'm using Mike leak
Speaker 1: in my tout war Straft and hold this week because
Speaker 1: I have some starting pitcher injuries that I needed to replace.
Speaker 1: But I ultimately think they're more deeper league options. I
Speaker 1: don't think in a twelve team league you want to
Speaker 1: be starting either one of those guys. I agree. I
Speaker 1: don't feel safe Flora. By the way, and to say
Speaker 1: is that loud? Joe the Mustache just said, if Chris
Speaker 1: Ventro we're an offensive major league I feel like I'd
Speaker 1: be Derek Teacher. What is that like like when every
Speaker 1: once in a while is going to hit a home
Speaker 1: run for you? You know what? I don't even know
Speaker 1: what it means. I don't want to know, but I
Speaker 1: just me laugh. Joe and a Mustache is gonna be
Speaker 1: my podcast yesterday. Greggy, that's awesome, so we'll plug that.
Speaker 1: Flores's podcast guest, Joe Mustache have a good show. I'll
Speaker 1: check it out. Florio, we're gonna take our final break.
Speaker 1: I want to get into some of the two star
Speaker 1: pitchers for next week, go over some of the stuff
Speaker 1: that stood out to both of us last night, and
Speaker 1: we'll get to the Jason Stark should be a question
Speaker 1: of the week. All that and more the final twenty
Speaker 1: minutes the f S I had great results. I lost
Speaker 1: seventy pounds by way to sixty five and went down
Speaker 1: to my doctor told me, if it works for you,
Speaker 1: then do it. But a lot of people say to me,
Speaker 1: how would you lose the weight? I said, I take
Speaker 1: Andrew four hundred every day, and I'm gonna take it forever.
Speaker 1: That was Walt talking about Andrew four hundred. Now listen
Speaker 1: to what Bob has to say. When you listen to
Speaker 1: your radio commercials, you say that's not possible. But since

Speaker 1: all the game Rentsard hold on, this is under songs.
Speaker 1: It will not be at my wedding, which for the record,
Speaker 1: playing out glory, what's up? Look what songs are going
Speaker 1: to be played at your wedding? I would say they
Speaker 1: were ideally popular music, but I'll get a fight with
Speaker 1: all parents about this. So I'm guessing there's gonna be
Speaker 1: a ton of Dave Matthews. There will not be a
Speaker 1: ton of Dave Matthews. You can't really dance to Dave Matthews.
Speaker 1: You could, you could. Sway, I'm playing music, you can't
Speaker 1: dance to it my wedding. I don't care. You think that,
Speaker 1: and then you're not. Me and Nicolete have already said, like,
Speaker 1: there's a few songs were definitely playing that most people
Speaker 1: aren't going to get and we don't care. But that's fine.
Speaker 1: That's a few songs. I don't want any songs that
Speaker 1: I don't want and that's the that's the issue that
Speaker 1: I have a fight with my future in laws. Okay, yeah,
Speaker 1: I have I haven't barely scratched the surface when it
Speaker 1: comes to wedding planning. I've just thought about music that
Speaker 1: will be playing and like still like I thought about
Speaker 1: like music and food. Kind of sure those are the
Speaker 1: most important things. Yeah, that's it. I believe me. That's
Speaker 1: I agree. All right, you're ready for the Jayson Stark
Speaker 1: tip A question of the week? I am. I feel
Speaker 1: like it's gonna be harder though with just me guessing,
Speaker 1: unless you're gonna play. I don't know the I don't
Speaker 1: know the answer, Okay, cool, I don't actually know if
Speaker 1: he's revealed the answer yet, so you might be just
Speaker 1: doing this and I'll find the answer out later. Here
Speaker 1: we go, and when in Chronosi, you know my guy
Speaker 1: has hit three hundred and two home runs the start
Speaker 1: of eleven. That makes him one of five active players
Speaker 1: with hit at least three hundred home runs over any
Speaker 1: nine years span in their career. Can you name the
Speaker 1: other four? Can I start off by saying, I don't
Speaker 1: like this question already? Why I don't? It's it's I
Speaker 1: thought it was gonna be like since two th that's
Speaker 1: obviously not with this. Yeah, and any nine years spent
Speaker 1: woman against MIGGI. Yeah, maybe he's the first one obviously
Speaker 1: comes to mind. Who holds? Does Joji Batista count as
Speaker 1: being active? No, Trouts probably done it, right, Yeah, I
Speaker 1: would imagine so. And Trud's done in like seven years?
Speaker 1: Well its Trump been around for nine years though, was
Speaker 1: over any nine years span? I mean, I don't know.
Speaker 1: He has been around nine years. It probably doesn't count.
Speaker 1: He debuted in twenty twelve, right, yeah, so it probably
Speaker 1: doesn't count. Okay, but we got we got two of them.
Speaker 1: How many is their total? Four? I would guess Ryan Braun.
Speaker 1: Ryan Broun is a good one. Ryan is a very
Speaker 1: good one. Fail you're on fire right now? And then
Speaker 1: I would also guess Chris Davis. I don't know that Chris.
Speaker 1: Has he done it? Has he done it long enough? Carloston,
Speaker 1: you've done right for nine years? Yeah? I think so?
Speaker 1: When when was he Mike Staining? I don't know. I
Speaker 1: don't know, Yeah, I don't. I don't think he's tweeted
Speaker 1: out the answer yet. Uh he has not. That's frestrating
Speaker 1: all you all. I'm trying to think of is old
Speaker 1: guys who used to be good. It makes sense that
Speaker 1: that's kind of the it's not a great question this week. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't love this week. And also anytime you go
Speaker 1: with stuff like this like Pooh, Hols and Migie are
Speaker 1: automatically two of the answers. Yes, definitely. By the way,
Speaker 1: I just saw this on Twitter. A couple of notes
Speaker 1: for you. Your boy Tires Battle signed a undraut the
Speaker 1: free agent contract Minnesota. He's not gonna make it in
Speaker 1: the league. He's gonna be Do you remember c J. Fair?
Speaker 1: Of course, I think that's who tis Battle kind of
Speaker 1: is what about you know that he's Johnny Flynn. Johnny
Speaker 1: Flynn man. I had such high hopes for Johnny Flynn.
Speaker 1: Did I should have looked this up myself. But did
Speaker 1: Brissette from Cus get drafted? YEA? Who who Brissette? I
Speaker 1: don't know. I'm not sure. Probably not. He was like projected,
Speaker 1: but these guys still go out early, man like Shamori Ponds.
Speaker 1: I know Frank loves him for some reason. He texted
Speaker 1: me the other day like, all like they should draft him,
Speaker 1: and I said to him, I said, this guy is
Speaker 1: very undersized. He wasn't projected to get drafted last year
Speaker 1: and heard his stock coming back. But Frank I saw
Speaker 1: him today saying they should sign him like he very
Speaker 1: much still it wants Ponds and I get it, he's
Speaker 1: a New York guy. But a lot of these guys, man,
Speaker 1: I don't know they hurt their value by leaving early
Speaker 1: or if like they just would be delaying the inevitable
Speaker 1: of not getting drafted. But you always hate to see
Speaker 1: a guy leave early and then not get drafted. And
Speaker 1: then the other piece of information shams Terry Harris, the
Speaker 1: brother of Toby Harris, who finished his college career in
Speaker 1: North Carolina A and t playing Smarly for the six years.
Speaker 1: Do you think that's a coincidence, Floria, Toby being Tobias
Speaker 1: Toby being Tobias. Yes, okay, no, not a coincidence at all.
Speaker 1: It's like when a baseball team drafts their stars like
Speaker 1: younger brother in like the twentieth round, or when the
Speaker 1: Knick signed Chris Harris because they wanted to resign. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I was like Chris Smith when they wanted to resign Jr. Smith.
Speaker 1: That was the most fun Nick summer ever. The Smith
Speaker 1: brothers is doing whatever they wanted. It's great summer. Mike Greggy,
Speaker 1: Greggy Greggy, can I just like I have the Knicks
Speaker 1: head on. But everything has gone wrong. Man, everything it sucks.
Speaker 1: I was, you know, I was so boon in that
Speaker 1: this was gonna be the year that changes things. That's
Speaker 1: what happens, Floria. We always buy and it never changes. Ever,
Speaker 1: this is what we deal with or Nick fans like,
Speaker 1: if this was any other team where Kevin Durant was
Speaker 1: going to he doesn't get hurt, the Warriors probably win
Speaker 1: the championship, and then he rides off into that team
Speaker 1: in the sunsetting. But it's the Knicks, right. I'm glad
Speaker 1: you're finally understanding that this works. The Knicks probably cost
Speaker 1: the Warriors to three Nicks. Oh man, all right, let's
Speaker 1: go back to baseball here. Let's go to the two
Speaker 1: start pitchers for next week. There are four guys that
Speaker 1: are out there in most nays I have written down
Speaker 1: that I wanted to ask you about. Let me start
Speaker 1: with Cleveland's Adam Pluco facing Kansas City at home, and
Speaker 1: then he's in Baltimore. The matchups, all right, is the
Speaker 1: picture right. I'm a little bit scared by that in
Speaker 1: Baltimore start because in Baltimore we know balls could leave
Speaker 1: the yard quickly. But I like these two matchups. I
Speaker 1: think there's a lot of strikeout upside here. I'm okay
Speaker 1: riding him out, alright, So Adam Pluco you're okay with
Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you I'm gonna drop on Saturday or
Speaker 1: Sunday whenever Bred at his next start is, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: drop him for Adam Plutka. I don't love Pluco the
Speaker 1: most of the pictures you wrote down, though you do not.
Speaker 1: That's exciting. Who knew you like the best? I think
Speaker 1: Brad Keller this week at Cleveland and at Toronto, like
Speaker 1: I don't fear being neither of those ballparks as much
Speaker 1: as I do fear being in Baltimore. Plus, those are
Speaker 1: two teams that I know the Indians have kind of
Speaker 1: been hot as of late, but there's still not the
Speaker 1: most fearful lineup in the world. And then the Blue
Speaker 1: Jays just strike out a ton. So I would ride
Speaker 1: with Brad Keller the highest of the four on this list, alright.
Speaker 1: So Keller's the highest. I don't love Brad Keller because
Speaker 1: I don't think he's very good. So Brad Keller not
Speaker 1: gonna make my top list. I like Pluco a little
Speaker 1: bit more. The other names of the list, Trevor Richards
Speaker 1: and Chris Bassett. Richards has the toughest matchup, that's probably
Speaker 1: the best picture out of these guys. He's home for
Speaker 1: both of his starts Division matchups, Washington and Philadelphia. Bassett
Speaker 1: on the road for both starts in St. Louis in
Speaker 1: L A l A. Playing a lot better as of late,
Speaker 1: Bassett not exactly pitching great as of late. What do
Speaker 1: you think of those two guys? Bassett is basically you
Speaker 1: could I think you could write him down five and
Speaker 1: two thirds three in runs like that's what he's done
Speaker 1: extra out place that my I didn't realize this until yesterday.
Speaker 1: A buddy of mine text me and was like, why
Speaker 1: can Chris Bassett never get the last out in the
Speaker 1: sixth innings? And then I looked and I was like, Wow,
Speaker 1: this guy really like I used to call it the
Speaker 1: Jake oder Rizzi five and two thirds, I think we
Speaker 1: should start calling it the Chris Bassett. But he I
Speaker 1: did look at his game looks today when I saw
Speaker 1: you wrote him down, Greggy, and I noticed, my god,
Speaker 1: he's just crazy. If yeah right, and if I remember correctly,
Speaker 1: if you have in front of you. It's one start
Speaker 1: all year where he's allowed more than three AR runs.
Speaker 1: I don't you know, because I only have the E
Speaker 1: R A. I don't have got it. I'll just gonna
Speaker 1: get your game one second. Um, So we're talking about
Speaker 1: three earned runs one start all year he's allowed more
Speaker 1: than three earned run that's correct. His last week starts
Speaker 1: five and two thirds all three of them, Oh my god,
Speaker 1: a ton of them or three year in runs Like
Speaker 1: this guy is not he does not have a high ceiling.
Speaker 1: But you if you pick him up six starts exactly
Speaker 1: three yearned runs. Yeah, like you're picking him up for
Speaker 1: that floor, hoping you get five and two thirds of
Speaker 1: three yearned runs against the car way, that you get
Speaker 1: that extra out this time is what you're playing for. Um, Mike,
Speaker 1: is there any other two star pictures that I didn't
Speaker 1: necessarily see that you want to grab? Uh? No, so one,
Speaker 1: it's not one that you can grab Greggy, but it's
Speaker 1: one that I'm debating trusting. It's more about can you
Speaker 1: if you have this guy, can you trust him? And
Speaker 1: it's Marco Gonzalez. I want to ask your opinion. At Milwaukee,
Speaker 1: at Houston, there's no way I could use this got
Speaker 1: a chance in health Floria a chance. And so my
Speaker 1: next question, because I've been debating this in the league,
Speaker 1: should I drop him then or is this a case
Speaker 1: of it's just two of the hardest matchups it could
Speaker 1: be you can have. Yeah, some of those younger pictures
Speaker 1: are still out there, the guys we were talking about
Speaker 1: earlier on. I have no problem dropping Marco Gonzalez. I'm
Speaker 1: not like fearful the mark of Gonzalez gonna go on
Speaker 1: some tear, like he's gonna be an average starting pitcher,
Speaker 1: you know, I like, he's never gonna strike anybody out.
Speaker 1: So does it does it change? So does the league scoring?
Speaker 1: In this if you get it's a points league, but
Speaker 1: you get five points for quality, like we flipped the
Speaker 1: quality to be worth more than wins. So that's the
Speaker 1: reason I've been holding onto him because six innings at
Speaker 1: three and runs is kind of like the Marco Gonzalez Special.
Speaker 1: But he's been struggling lately and I'm kind of getting
Speaker 1: close to dropping him and Mark Gonzalez. I'm fine with that.
Speaker 1: I'm certainly not starting this week. You need to drop
Speaker 1: if you need the dropping for one of the guys
Speaker 1: that we named. That's fine. Yeah, I think that's what
Speaker 1: I'm gonna do. Like, I almost pulled the trigger the
Speaker 1: other day, and I said, let me, let me think
Speaker 1: about it, but no one picked up any of the
Speaker 1: Like Logan Allen is Zach Gallant's own, but Logan Allen
Speaker 1: is out there. I believe Julio Eureus is out there,
Speaker 1: and I'm like, I should probably take an upside just
Speaker 1: there for those guys. You know, That's what I'm thinking too.
Speaker 1: I think I'm gonna end up pulling that trigger. Okay,
Speaker 1: a couple of notes before we wrap up and get
Speaker 1: to our best Best Forever, which you're gonna be a
Speaker 1: part of today. Floria Carlos Correa not expected to be
Speaker 1: back until after the All Star Rak for Houston, so
Speaker 1: that's a rough go for his fantasy owners. We mentioned
Speaker 1: Rich Hill Aaron Judge, make sure you activate him. He
Speaker 1: is back tonight for the New York Yankees. He has
Speaker 1: been activated. That's super excited. Uh. In last night's awesome
Speaker 1: A's Raise game between Charlie Morton and Frankie Mantas, it
Speaker 1: lived off to the expectations, so both closures blew it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm Blake Charlon hasn't been pitching well, but I think
Speaker 1: he'll be okay. Uh, Diego Castillo, Man, the Rays have
Speaker 1: to be one of these teams shopping for a closer
Speaker 1: right now, right I soon they are. They were on Kimber,
Speaker 1: We know that. Yeah, Like I imagine they're gonna there's
Speaker 1: gonna be a number of closers trade Like Luke Jackson's
Speaker 1: gonna lose his job. I've I own him, and I've
Speaker 1: already accepted that. Diego Castio, I think if I owned him,
Speaker 1: I'm probably accepting that he's at one soon going to
Speaker 1: lose his job. I didn't want to ask you a question, Greggy.
Speaker 1: You've mentioned having Judge. Have you you followed the Yankees
Speaker 1: obviously a lot closer than most like have. Have they
Speaker 1: said what their everyday lineup is gonna be once Judges back? Yeah,
Speaker 1: the thought the the order of the lineup. Yeah, no,
Speaker 1: they have not. But the kind of assumption is that
Speaker 1: Judges fit right back into the two hole. But and
Speaker 1: then where does Void job? Because I know Void's been
Speaker 1: hitting second and I X because the hitter I own
Speaker 1: more than anyone this year's Edwin and Carnacion. Yeah. So Um,
Speaker 1: I don't want him to hit seven. That's my fear.
Speaker 1: So I think it's possible, which is crazy because I
Speaker 1: think I don't think Void josh a little bit of seven,
Speaker 1: given that he's been hitting too. Like to me, you'll
Speaker 1: probably have Avoid hit three or four and Gary, uh,
Speaker 1: we'll hit five. You're gonna have to have Hicks in
Speaker 1: there as a lefty or a switch hitter. So unless
Speaker 1: they really snack those righties, I think you're gonna see
Speaker 1: Eddie hit six or seven. But I think it's gonna be,
Speaker 1: you know, honestly a few and our days between when
Speaker 1: you get that Yankees death lineup if you will, with Stanton, Judge,
Speaker 1: Sanchez and Carnassion and Void like I don't I don't
Speaker 1: know if they all play together all the time, so
Speaker 1: I don't know. It's I'm also very worried as and
Speaker 1: I think you should be worried as an Incarnacion or
Speaker 1: Luke Void owner that they are going to lose some
Speaker 1: playing time based on what you said, Like they're gonna
Speaker 1: give days where Stantons the d H. You're gonna have
Speaker 1: days where Judges the d H, I think, and one
Speaker 1: Avoid and Incarnacion is gonna have to sit and I've
Speaker 1: accepted that as an Incarnacion owner. I do think though
Speaker 1: for him, he makes up for it. Now he's in
Speaker 1: a better ball park, a much better line up, he'll
Speaker 1: make up for it. But don't get frustrated if you see,
Speaker 1: like I, I worry about that. So I think it's
Speaker 1: a legitimate concern. I don't know if you agree or not.
Speaker 1: Well runs back to back days for Cardassion. I'm not
Speaker 1: super concerned about it because he is a huge, huge threat.
Speaker 1: I think they're gonna want him in the lineup and
Speaker 1: and relatively high up on most days we'll see EDDI.
Speaker 1: I'm very happy I'm an Edwin Incarnacion owner with this
Speaker 1: deal to New York. We're gonna sign off a YouTube
Speaker 1: for now coming up next the Window with Sean Gassimakia.
Speaker 1: You know how his bedstaid with the NBA drafts already
Speaker 1: of course for the weekend at the Window is next
Speaker 1: by Floria. Just a couple of minutes left to go
Speaker 1: in our program. Is there anything else you want to
Speaker 1: talk about before we get to our best best forever? Actually,
Speaker 1: actually there's one more thing I want to ask you about.
Speaker 1: One more thing. Can you drop Jimmy Nelson? I knew
Speaker 1: you were gonna ask me that, and I think if
Speaker 1: any of those high upside starting pictures are out there,
Speaker 1: I think you can It sucks what's happening with Jimmy
Speaker 1: Nelson right now. He's working his way back from injury.
Speaker 1: There's no way you could start him anytime soon. So
Speaker 1: ideally and a deeper league, I wanna stash him a
Speaker 1: little bit longer. But if you know a Gallon is
Speaker 1: out there or or Urius is out there, yeah, I'm
Speaker 1: okay making that swap to pick up those higher Logan Allen,
Speaker 1: any of those higher upside arms. This would be one
Speaker 1: of those where I have myself on the back because
Speaker 1: I try to tell you that Jimmy Nelson hasn't pitched
Speaker 1: in two years and he's not gonna be Jimmy Nelson
Speaker 1: of Olden. Why not he yaws him? And I'm like,
Speaker 1: the belief isn't that he'd instantly be Jimmy Nelson Vold
Speaker 1: And I told everyone you cannot start in right away.
Speaker 1: He's gonna be really rusty. I didn't think it would
Speaker 1: be this bad though. All right, let's get to the
Speaker 1: best bets forever. Florio, I'm very hot just saying we
Speaker 1: do this every day. I am I believe for I'm
Speaker 1: like six and one this week. Yeah, so I had
Speaker 1: a nice run last night. My pick was the over
Speaker 1: in the Dodgers and the Giants that went way over
Speaker 1: late night. Um, so tonight, I'll go first. I'd like
Speaker 1: to go second because that's where my hotness has been,
Speaker 1: but I'll I'll go first here because I don't know
Speaker 1: if you were prepared for this part of the program,
Speaker 1: you were not saying that's why. That's why I'm going first. Okay,
Speaker 1: So there's a couple of that that stand out to me.
Speaker 1: But what I'm gonna do, I just like the number
Speaker 1: here and I get caught doing this a lot. But
Speaker 1: it's Tigers and Indians. Matthew boy has been good. You
Speaker 1: get Maddie Boyd at plus one seventy four tonight, I'll
Speaker 1: take the Tigers a plus one seventy four. You're gonna
Speaker 1: go against Trevor Bauer yea, all right. I mean he's
Speaker 1: been pitching better as of late, but definitely before that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Like so Greggy, when I was scrolling through this right,
Speaker 1: there was one game that it was an over under
Speaker 1: the Marlins Phillies over it's Sandy all Katara against Aaron
Speaker 1: Nola and a half is the number. Yeah, Nola hasn't
Speaker 1: been great at all, and al Katara can blow up
Speaker 1: at any point. He could blow up with the best
Speaker 1: of them. So I seen that briefly scrolling through, and
Speaker 1: I was like, I think I would pick the over there.
Speaker 1: And it saddens me to say that because I have
Speaker 1: Aaronola in the league where I've been hoping he can
Speaker 1: turn it around, but he just hasn't. Actually like that
Speaker 1: a lot. The over eight and a half no versus
Speaker 1: Al Kazara, Nola has not been able to figure out
Speaker 1: in now Kazara, as you mentioned, he can get blown
Speaker 1: up with the best of them. I really like that one.
Speaker 1: To Florida, that's a that's a good one. I'm looking
Speaker 1: for an over under um myself. Yeah, the White Sox
Speaker 1: Rangers over under is eleven and a half. We've we've
Speaker 1: seen twelve and a half over the last week. It's crazy.
Speaker 1: That's insane. Um. This Colorado Dodgers over unders that seven
Speaker 1: and a half with Bueller and Marquez, and I don't
Speaker 1: know what to do about that. I feel like they're
Speaker 1: trying to get everyone to take the under there, and
Speaker 1: I'm tempted to take the over. I just don't think
Speaker 1: I touch it. I don't know what to think. Walker
Speaker 1: Vieler has been so so good. Harald Marquez is great
Speaker 1: when he's away from Colorado. I just don't think I
Speaker 1: touch it. I think I just stick uh to Matthew
Speaker 1: Boyd and the Tigers. That's my pick. Floria is going
Speaker 1: over when it comes to the Marlins and the Phillies.
Speaker 1: Under a minute remaining, Mike, what do you playing for
Speaker 1: the weekend? I Am going to San Francisco tomorrow morning,
Speaker 1: early flight, gonna go there. I'm gonna see a Giant's
Speaker 1: game while I'm there, and then I'm gonna next week
Speaker 1: fly back and we're going to Disney and Universal in
Speaker 1: l A. Because Nicolet's sister is coming out for the week.
Speaker 1: So it's gonna be a fun week. And then after
Speaker 1: that I go to Mexico, Greggy, so I might not
Speaker 1: be seeing you for a little bit. All right. That's
Speaker 1: that's fantastic. Floria aheaded to San Francisco, aheaded to Mexico.
Speaker 1: That's amazing. Have fun, man, Thank you. I hope you
Speaker 1: have a good weekend. Two. I didn't get to ask you,
Speaker 1: but I hear the music. We're out of time. It's fine,
Speaker 1: I have a wedding to go. Do. What's new? All right,
